The whole family travels with me

Chapter 140: Candidate for the Princess Marriage

In Splendid Palace.

Concubine Zhou and Princess Qingyang received the imperial edict, hugged each other and cried.

"Mother, concubine, daughter" Princess Qingyang burst into tears.

Concubine Zhou was so desperate that she wanted to die, "I have seen the appearance of Prince Qu's family. Prince Qu is obviously younger than your father, but he looks more than seven or eight years older than your father. Look at Yan Princess Mingyue of our country was disfigured by Princess Yuhua just a few days after entering the palace. The princess you are marrying has no status, what will your future be like!"

Concubine Zhou was crying so much that she couldn't help herself. It was obvious that her daughter was about to cry to death. She never dared to be like her, for fear that her daughter would really lose her mind and do something stupid.

Princess Qingyang's personal maid, Amber, was wiping tears at the side. She was a bit stronger than the two of them. Seeing that the two masters were confused, she said: "Your Majesty, Princess, please go out and inquire to see if there is any room for change in this matter. Don’t cry yet.”

When Concubine Zhou heard this, she nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, go and ask first, maybe."

Princess Qingyang was not as optimistic as them, and still cried out of breath.

Amber went out for a long time and didn't come back until dark. Her face didn't look good.

"Your Majesty, Princess, what I heard from this servant is that the Imperial Concubine proposed to the King that the Princess get married. The King was still undecided at first, but as soon as she said it, the King made up his mind."

"Gongsun Yi!" Concubine Zhou was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her face was filled with hatred.

Princess Qingyang was extremely desperate, "I never stood in the way of their mother and daughter, nor did I steal Princess Yuhua's limelight. Why did the noble concubine want to harm me?"

Amber bit her lip and lowered her eyes, "Princess, there are only three marriageable princesses in the harem. Princess Yuhua has no chance. If the concubine's own daughter is not happy, she will not let others be happy. There are not so many reasons."

Amber is clear to all beholders.

Princess Qingyang was like a deflated rubber ball, her whole body softened, "It's really ridiculous."

"Princess, please don't be sad. We can't change the situation. The king will issue an imperial edict tomorrow. I heard that the envoys of Yan State will be allowed to leave within three days. We don't have much time, so we need to make preparations as soon as possible. "Hu Huo was worried, fearing that the two masters would break the pot, which would make it more difficult for them to survive in the Yan Kingdom.

Although Concubine Zhou felt uncomfortable, she was a strong mother. She wiped her tears immediately and said in a hoarse voice: "Although the Zhou family is not as good as the Gongsun family and the Wei family, the Zhou family is mainly engaged in business, and my mother and concubine are not short of money. As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. The most important thing you need to bring to Yan State this time is money. I will prepare 10 taels of silver notes for you.

Taikang Bank has branches in Chen Guoyan State, which can be circulated. In addition, you can bring as much jewelry and jade as you can. These are given to you secretly by your mother and concubine. Don't make it public. Since the king wants you to get married, he will naturally give you what you deserve. Pomp!
Although the mother and concubine have not fought or fought over these years, it does not mean that everyone in the Zhou family is dead! "

With that said, Concubine Zhou and Hu Hu ordered: "Hurry up and write to the Zhou family in Yuncheng, tell the head of the Zhou family about the situation, and make sure that the head of the Zhou family comes forward to make the king shed some more blood!"

Her daughter was her lifeblood. Now that her daughter was leaving, she had nothing to worry about. Concubine Zhou turned her resentment into calculations and had already begun to think about how to make Prince Chen and the concubine uncomfortable.

It only takes one day to rush from Longcheng to Yuncheng, which is enough time.Princess Qingyang was still wiping her tears, but she wasn't crying as fiercely as before. When she heard Concubine Zhou's arrangement, she sat up suddenly, "Concubine, I object! These money are all from your chest, how can you do this?" Give it all to me! How can you live in the palace like that?"

Concubine Zhou was not favored. If she hadn't been generous, she would never have been able to live so comfortably these years.

Concubine Zhou smiled nonchalantly, "You are not in the palace, so there is no point in staying here. I heard that the old concubine who guarded the royal mausoleum died of illness at the beginning of the year. Since then, no one has gone to guard the mausoleum. You said that the mother-in-law should go Will life be more comfortable there?"

"Mother! The royal mausoleum is like a cold palace. How can it compare with the royal palace? Don't be stupid!" Princess Qingyang was extremely anxious.

Concubine Zhou has made up her mind to leave, "Concubine Mother has already thought about it. There is a madman Princess Yuhua in the palace. I might as well go to the royal tomb while I live here. At least I don't have to worry about being targeted by a madman for no reason. If you are worried, you might as well think about it carefully." What's the way down?
The Zhou family also has some business in the Yan country, but those businesses are all open. The head of the Zhou family does not dare to expand the shop for fear of violating a taboo, but no matter what, you are not considered helpless in the Yan country. If If something really happens, you can go to Zhou’s store for help.”

After Concubine Zhou talked a lot, she always felt that Princess Qingyang was not very interested. She was angry and helpless.

The next day, the imperial edict came down, not only the princess was appointed to be married, but also the candidates for the wedding party were selected.

When Xiwuhou received the imperial edict, he was completely confused. He looked at his youngest son on the left, then at his eldest son on the right, and then at the chamberlain who announced the edict. He asked with difficulty: "Eunuch, my youngest son. I can understand why I lead troops to fight and send my relatives off, but why is my eldest son among them?"

Marquis Xiwu was really puzzled.

The father-in-law smiled and said: "Master Hou, this is the king's will. How can the Za family guess it? You should be happy! It's not a dangerous task to send a bride off, and you can get a reward when you come back. What can you do? Do you mind? Let’s not talk about it anymore, the Za family has to go to the Wei Mansion and the Wen Mansion to announce the decree!”

"Wei Mansion and Wen Mansion?" Marquis Xiwu's eyes widened and he asked quickly, "Is there anyone from the Gongsun Mansion?"

The father-in-law shook his head, "Not yet."

After her father-in-law left, Mrs. Wei looked at Tian Huai who was hesitant to speak, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "You are not young anymore. It will take about a year to go back. If you delay further, I am afraid it will take more than a year. Since you like Wei Yuzhu, mother will take the initiative to find a matchmaker for you."

The Wei family really had no choice. When the Gongsun family was in such trouble, Tian Huai would be cold-faced whenever she mentioned the marriage, so she didn't dare to mention it again. But this time it was different. If the decision was not settled, Longcheng would still be in trouble when Tian Huai came back. Are there any good girls to choose?
"I have my own opinion, mother, there is no need to mention it again." Tian Huai did not give Wei a chance to continue.

Wei was furious, her voice sharp and painful, "I was pregnant for ten months, I risked my life to give birth to you, and I planned everything for you. This is how you repay me? Just because you are a woman, you don't want me as your mother?"

Tian Huai turned back, stood in front of Mrs. Wei, and said seriously: "Wrong, technically speaking, there are three women!"

Amid everyone's shock and confusion, Tian Huai calmly left, leaving only Wei Shi with a messy and disbelieving look on her face.

Marquis Xiwu touched his chin and looked at Mrs. Wei in disbelief, "I thought you set him up about the Gongsun family, but I didn't expect you to break up two of his marriages. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Wei, the second oldest one has someone like you. My mother is really pitiful!"
