Chapter 1212 Invitations from various prefectures (2)
After Koizumi left, the Empress Dowager turned to Ruyi and said, "You said that there will be many ladies from Beijing and China participating in the flower viewing tomorrow?"

Ruyi thought clearly, "It is said that yes, there are people invited by the little princess, and there are people invited by the princess. Tomorrow, Prince Ying's residence will definitely be lively."

The queen mother thought for a while and said, "Now the eldest princess has chosen Jin Yan as a marriage partner to the Zheng family of Xingyang, and Jin Yan has agreed, and the only thing left is for the people from the Zheng family of Xingyang to come to Beijing to face the saint. I used to think that Jin Yan's love for the emperor , always wanted to make a fuss to enter the palace, but unexpectedly, she turned it away. If Jinyan needs to be talented and good-looking, she is actually worthy of being a queen, but it's a pity that the emperor doesn't like it. But the right minister The emperor Li Rubi from the government does not want it either. I don’t know what the emperor will choose.”

Ruyi was not easy to answer, so she just said, "It is said that the lady from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will also go to the Prince Ying's Mansion in the future."

"Are you going to become a monk without making a fuss?" the Queen Mother asked.

Ruyi shook her head.

The queen mother sighed, "Li Rubi's talent and appearance are all extremely outstanding, and so is Jin Yan. There are many ladies in Beijing who are all excellent. Just don't compare with Xie Fanghua. Once you compare, there will always be a difference. "

Ruyi also sighed, "Our emperor is very bitter."

The queen mother nodded, "Marriage is a matter of fate. There is no destiny, so I can't force it. The day I ascended the throne, I was terrified, but fortunately, he and Qin Zheng can put the overall situation first." After a pause, and then Said, "The former emperor gave the country to Yu'er, and returned Xie Fanghua to Qin Zheng. It can be regarded as doing the right thing before he died. Otherwise, these two children will not be kind."

Ruyi nodded.

"The first emperor watched them grow up, and he still understands them." The queen mother said again, "Qin Zheng is the person in Xie Fanghua's heart, and the emperor has seen through it. This is also for the good of the South Qin Dynasty, and for the good of them, so as not to Brothers kill each other, causing disaster to the country."

"The first emperor was wise." Ruyi said.

The queen mother laughed, "When he was alive, I complained a lot, but when he passed away, I thought of him." After saying that, she showed a tired look, "There is no need to worry about the state of the government, and the future Here, I only hope that the emperor can completely let go and accept concubines, the harem can't stay so empty forever, besides, the country of Southern Qin also needs an heir."

Ruyi nodded.

Koizumi went back to the imperial study and told Qin Yu that the Queen Mother had agreed.

Qin Yu waved to him when he heard the words, "Go to Prince Ying's Mansion and tell your aunt that tomorrow I will accompany the Queen Mother to the Prince Ying's Mansion to enjoy the flowers."

Koizumi responded, and hurried out of the palace to Prince Ying's residence.

In Prince Ying's Mansion, Luomei Residence, Xie Fanghua was sewing clothes, and Lu Xueying entered Luomei Residence.

Seeing her coming, Xie Fanghua put down the clothes in her hands and greeted her.

When Lu Xueying saw her, she smiled and held her hand, "Why are you so thin? Compared to you, I'm fatter."

Xie Fanghua saw that she looked very good, and also vaguely heard that the eldest son Qin Hao has changed his usual and changed his mind these days. After the prince solved his closed-door thoughts, he went to Zuoxiang's mansion every day to make amends and ask for forgiveness from Lu Xueying. Lu Xueying hated her very much. Ignore him, Mrs. Zuo Xiang was extremely annoyed at first, and wanted to reconcile her daughter, but she couldn't bear Qin Hao's day-to-day stay in Zuo Xiang's mansion, humbly, and sincerely begged Lu Xueying back.In the end, Mrs. Zuo Xiang couldn't bear to make things difficult for him anymore, and Zuo Xiang also recognized his correct attitude and allowed him to take Lu Xueying back.

Xie Fanghua also held her hand back, feeling sorry for the first time she saw her when she returned to Beijing, now that time has passed, she is no longer Tingyin, and she is no longer the old Lu Xueying.At that time, it was unimaginable that one day I could talk and laugh in such a friendly manner.She smiled and led her into the room, and at the same time said, "How can you be considered fat? You can only be considered as plump and radiant, and more and more beautiful. No wonder the elder brother begged you desperately to return, and emptied the maids in the Bauhinia Garden."

Lu Xueying snorted softly, "What's the point of emptying out the maids? When I get him eight beautiful concubines, the Bauhinia Garden will be bustling immediately."

Xie Fanghua was taken aback for a moment, "Take eight concubines?"

Lu Xueying nodded.

Xie Fanghua led her to sit down, waiter Hua brought the tea, she pushed the tea in front of her, and said speechlessly, "It's too much!"

Lu Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, "My man can make a fuss, if he doesn't marry a ten-wife, how can he vent his anger? I don't want to go to hell again."

Xie Fanghua was even more speechless.

Lu Xueying looked at her, seeing her unimaginable appearance, she took a sip of tea, and said amusedly, "Scared you? Eight concubines are not too many, there are many people in Beijing who have ten concubines in their backyard Dozens of rooms of concubines, this is Prince Ying’s mansion, the prince’s concubine also has four or five rooms, but after the relationship between the prince and the concubine got better, they were all dispersed, leaving only side concubine Liu to retire in the mansion, you Just can't see it."

Xie Fanghua was speechless for a moment.

Lu Xueying continued, "Mansions in central Beijing can't be compared with Zhongyonghou's mansion. Zhongyonghou's mansion always only seeks the wife who is being married by the Ming matchmaker, and does not accept concubines. The backyard of Xie's Rice Grain and Xie's Salt Store also only marry The person he likes doesn't ask for a concubine, so as not to confuse the family. This must be the Xie family. Even in my father's backyard, although he doesn't like women, there are three or four beautiful concubines."

Xie Fanghua thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.

Lu Xueying looked at her and smiled again, "Young Lord Zheng has a good character. Unlike Qin Hao, he spoils you like a sweetheart. He has already threatened that he will not marry unless you are the only one in his life. So, you Don't be intimidated by me."

Xie Fanghua laughed, "Not only I was scared, but if you mentioned it to the princess, she would be scared too. After all, it is rare to have so many concubines at once."

"I've already mentioned it to the concubine." Lu Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm really scared, but I'm determined. When the concubine chooses an auspicious day, I'll bring the candidate I've found into the door."

Xie Fanghua didn't know what to say when she heard the words, but felt that it was rare for a wife to give her husband eight concubines at once, and it would definitely cause a storm in the capital of Southern Qin.

The two chatted for a while, a young servant came to Luomeiju, said that the eldest son had returned to his residence, and the eldest young mistress was missing, so he sent him to invite the eldest young mistress back.

After Lu Xueying listened, she asked through the curtain, "It's still early, why did he come back so early?"

The servant immediately said, "Go back to the young mistress, the eldest son hurried back to see if the yard has been tidied up after finishing his official business. I'm afraid you may not be used to it after living in Zuoxiang's mansion for a long time."

Lu Xueying laughed when she heard the words, "So it's because of this, you go back and tell him, I'll go back later."

The boy nodded and went back to report.

Lu Xueying dismissed the servant, but she was not in a hurry to go back. She chatted with Xie Fanghua for half an hour before getting up to leave. Before leaving, she whispered to Xie Fanghua, "My father said that if there is something that doesn't go well , you just look for him."

Xie Fanghua understood, understood what Prime Minister Zuo was alluding to, and nodded to her.

Lu Xueying left Luomeiju.

Koizumi came to Prince Ying's mansion and was led by Xishun to meet Princess Ying.

Princess Ying was stunned when she heard that the queen mother was coming, and was even more surprised when she heard that the emperor was accompanying the queen mother. , so I didn’t send invitations to the palace, this year the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are going to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers, so it’s naturally very good.”

After finishing his errands, Koizumi went straight back to the palace without going to Luomeiju.

Princess Ying was wondering what the meaning of the emperor accompanying the dowager to appreciate the flowers in the mansion was, and she couldn't figure it out, so she took the time to go to Luomei Residence to meet Xie Fanghua.

After Xie Fanghua sent Lu Xueying away, she also got the news that the servant painting told the queen mother and the emperor to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers tomorrow. She smiled, nodded, and went back to her room to continue sewing.

Princess Ying entered Luomei Residence, and when she saw that the attendant was going to report, she smiled and waved her hand to stop her, and asked, "Is Hua girl resting?"

The waiter shook his head, "Miss is sewing clothes?"

Princess Ying frowned, "Why don't you take a good rest and start working? What if you are tired?" Then she entered the room.

Xie Fanghua was joining the gap, and she was too involved. When she found that Princess Ying was coming, she had already stepped into the door, and before she greeted her, she had already entered the back room, so she could only shout, "Mother, you are here. "

Princess Ying walked up to her, glanced at the material, and asked her, "Is this for Zheng'er making clothes? Just leave it to Xiu Niang, you should rest."

Xie Fanghua shook her head, "These fabrics are different, I plan to make him an underwear."

Princess Ying looked at the fabric carefully, then touched it with her hands, "Isn't it the usual snow silk brocade?"

Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded, "It's an ordinary snow silk brocade, but it has different colors and different uses. It can't be handmade to others. Qin Zheng will do all of these." After finishing speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "About the Zheng family in Xingyang these years. The map of hidden piles, given by the leftist."

Princess Ying was shocked.

Xie Fanghua nodded affirmatively to her.

Princess Ying looked carefully at the fabric again, but still didn't see anything. Xie Fanghua moved the fabric under the light, she immediately understood, fell silent for a moment, and said with emotion, "Sure enough, it's the prime minister, hiding it so deeply."

Just as Xie Fanghua was about to answer the call, a hawk flew in from outside. She stretched out her hand, and the hawk flew into her palm.
