The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 409 Marriage (1)
To be honest, Zhao Jing and Mrs. Xu have been worrying about Xu Xian's entry into the palace these days.The old lady's thoughts were very clear. With Xu Xian's temperament, let alone going to the palace, she would go to be the head wife of a family of a comparable family. I am afraid that she will have to experience it for a while.

Although Sun Yu'e also mentioned the matter of entering the palace on behalf of Xu Xian before, Zhao Jing still felt that it was inappropriate.Since the empress dowager wanted to let Xu Xian enter the palace, she must have seen Xu Xian's cowardly temper so she could handle it well. How could she let someone change at will?If the imperial decree really comes down at that time and Xu Xian has already made a decision, it's okay to say, if there is no decision, the Xu family will not be able to do such a stiff thing like Li Daitao.

But now, listening to the words of the aunt of the Qi family, it seems that she really wants to let Qi Xinrui enter the palace.Just putting aside the matter of Xu Xian, if Qi Xinrui can really enter the palace, it will indeed be an opportunity for the Qi family.

"Whether it is so easy to enter in this palace, even if it is really entered, it is not so easy to gain a firm foothold." Zhao Jing raised her head and glanced at the young girl standing beside her with her head bowed.With a good appearance and a graceful figure, Qi Xinrui is indeed better than the two girls from the Marquis of Wuan's residence in terms of appearance.But if the empress dowager really wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor, she would naturally not choose an ugly one. Such an appearance would be considered an ordinary beauty among the beauties.

"Besides... there is an old saying that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and once Miss Qi enters, you will either be honored and honored, and honor your ancestors; or..." Zhao Jing didn't want to say something, but she had to say, "either Just guard that corner of the world in the palace, and live a peaceful life, maybe this life will be like this."

Everyone understands these truths, and the aunt of the Qi family is not a little girl who has never seen the world, but she couldn't help being moved after hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Qi Xinrui and said: "You heard what Mrs. Xu said Now, whether to go or not, you have to think about it yourself?"

At this time, Qi Xinrui already had an idea in her heart. She had been trapped in a boudoir all these years, but she had actually never seen a few men.Seeing the little emperor in the palace that day, some feelings secretly arose in his heart.Although the little emperor was young, he was very clear, and he didn't underestimate her because of his loneliness. This alone was enough to make her fall in love with her.

"Eldest sister, Mrs. Xu, I am willing to go to the palace, and please ask Mrs. Xu to help me!" Qi Xinrui knelt down in front of Zhao Jing, and a bit of stubbornness appeared in her back lying on the ground.

After all, Zhao Jing was a little moved, she stretched out her hand to help her up and said: "I don't care about this matter, I will only answer you after I have asked the emperor what he means." Although she and the emperor had a good relationship, but He had never spoken more than a word about his choice of concubine and empress. That was the time when he was persuaded to accept Miss Kang's family. It was also because he didn't want Zhou Xu to have some small prejudices, which would cause trouble for their empresses in the future. And nothing more.

The aunt of the Qi family was relieved when she saw that Zhao Jing had responded. If Qi Xinrui could gain a foothold in the palace, then their Qi family finally had some hope.

Zhao Jing didn't stay at Qi's house for long before returning to Hou's mansion. Mrs. Xu couldn't give her any advice on this matter, and she didn't want to upset her old man anymore.So he simply went back to Mingde Hall.Who would have thought that when she just changed her clothes and wanted to take a rest, the old lady's mother Zhang came over in person.

"Ma'am, the old lady has guests over there. I heard that the lady is back, so let the old servant come over to invite the lady in person!" Mother Zhang had a smile on her face, she seemed to be a little bit happy, and Zhao Jing felt so happy. Curious for a little bit, he just asked: "Is there any guest at the old lady's place? Would you mind asking me to invite you personally?"

Mrs. Xu has been living in seclusion since the death of Lord Hou. She has no contact with these officials and noble families in the capital. She doesn't usually see anyone coming to the Hou's mansion, so it is strange to hear that there are guests visiting.

Mother Zhang smiled and said: "It is said that I have never contacted before, and I don't know where I heard that my family is choosing a son-in-law for the second girl, so I came to the door, Madam, you go to see it." You know, she also brought a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man with him, who is good-looking and talented, the old lady liked it very much, and secretly told me that this marriage is about to be settled!"

The more Zhao Jing heard it, the more curious she became, so she got up from the couch and wanted to go over.She had just changed her clothes when she came back, and she was wearing casual clothes at this time, after all, it would be a bit impolite to go out to entertain guests, so she asked the servant girl to find another set of clothes.

Zhang's mother stepped forward to help her change her clothes, seeing her slender belly protruding slightly, she only smiled and said: "My wife is also starting to show her pregnancy, and the days to come will be here soon."
