A Thousand Hills

Chapter 389

I have to say that Empress Dowager Cao is a very scheming woman.

Of course, this must also be based on the premise that Emperor Yuanning completely inherited the aesthetics of his father, Emperor Kangzong, but did not inherit Emperor Kangzong's rational to cold wisdom.Yes, many people said how lucky Emperor Kangzong was. He was raised by his aunt when he was a child, and supported by his aunt when he grew up. He became the prince first and then the emperor.After becoming an emperor, he still has such good luck, the country is peaceful and the weather is smooth. Compared with his father, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather Emperor Taizu, Emperor Kangzong was born with the word "Shun" in capital letters.

Because of Emperor Kangzong's smooth life, everyone may ignore the peaceful and prosperous age of Emperor Kangzong when he was in power.Yes, the founding of Dongmu, and what can be called a prosperous age are precisely the reign of Emperor Kangzong.Without him, Taizu was overwhelmed with thorns and thorns, needless to say. At that time, the sky was dark and dark, and all industries withered. After Taizu founded the country, the population of the whole country was only 800 million. One can imagine what it was like at that time, how many households were extinct The town of Juehu Prefecture was all fought in wars.Emperor Taizu was followed by Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong was young when he ascended the throne, and at first it was Empress Cheng who assisted in the government. After Empress Cheng passed away, state affairs were handed over to Princess Fusheng. , At that time, the Western Barbarians invaded repeatedly, and there were also constant wars, so it was also difficult to recuperate.Until Emperor Taizong came to power, although Emperor Taizong was fighting for power with Princess Fusheng, one of the reasons why Xie Moru could always call Emperor Taizong Mingjun was that after Fusheng lost power, Emperor Taizong fought with Princess Fusheng The saints were not in harmony, but the state government that Fusheng had always insisted on recuperating with the people, Emperor Taizong resolutely carried it out and did not abolish it.Thirty years after Emperor Taizong, the country's affairs took a turn for the better. Unfortunately, it encountered the Jiangnan Rebellion, and this battle severely damaged its vitality.The whole country is basically regressing. After Emperor Renzong came to the throne, he did a lot of things like reducing taxes and exempting Jiangnan from corvee. Gan is severely damaged.If Emperor Renzong was given 30 years, he could also usher in the prosperity of the Eastern Mu Dynasty, but Emperor Renzong died of illness after only ten years as the emperor, and Emperor Kangzong came after him.

Emperor Kangzong's greatest achievement in state affairs was to carry on with his father's arrangements. In particular, Emperor Kangzong's heart did not give way to his father, Emperor Renzong.Since Emperor Kangzong ascended the throne, although he has brought along a subject close to him, this is human nature, but there is one thing, the four key generals of Xining Pass, Beijing Pass, Nan'an Pass, and Imperial Guard Army, Emperor Kangzong is alone Did not change.

Don't think that it is easy to be a wise king. There are some kings who rule the world peacefully without seeing what they do.Some kings, as soon as they came to the stage, put on colorful flowers and made great moves. Within a few days, the country was over.

Emperor Kangzong's wisdom is manifested in the fact that he followed in the footsteps of his ancestors and fathers, not only securing the country, but also securing the country.

Of course, Emperor Kangzong's aesthetics is somewhat different from that of his father, but throughout his life, Emperor Kangzong raised eyebrows with Empress Su.At the beginning when he ascended the throne and sealed off the harem, the Cao family won the favor of Emperor Kangzong, but only got a concubine Shu, not even a concubine De.The other concubines are not of high status.

This largely guaranteed Queen Su's position in the main palace.

After all, Empress Su has always been childless.

Even Emperor Kangzong liked Cao's one, and he didn't mess up the law because of favor.Even at the end of his life, Emperor Kangzong never forgot to marry his son to the Liu family. Emperor Kangzong knew that the eldest son was young and loyal to the cabinet, but he was a civil servant.

Emperor Kangzong's intentions are understood by Empress Dowager Xie and the cabinet, but I don't know if Cao's mother and son understand.

Empress Dowager Cao either understood or didn't understand, or felt that anyway, the late emperor had bestowed the marriage, and the Liu family had been bound to the emperor, so she could arrange some small schemes of her own with peace of mind.

Empress Dowager Cao is very scheming, the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed and the weather is hot, so Empress Dowager Xie has to take a nap at noon.Empress Dowager Cao asked Liu Yue to make some ice bowls in her small kitchen to cool off the heat.Liu Yue is also a smart little girl. She knew that she was going to marry Emperor Yuanning. Empress Dowager Cao was the biological mother of Emperor Yuanning and would also be her mother-in-law in the future.Liu Yue has always felt that Empress Dowager Cao treats her indifferently, and with the addition of Cao Xuan, Liu Yue is not stupid, and also sensed some of Empress Dowager Cao's intentions. Great satisfaction.Empress Dowager Cao asked her to eat ice bowls. In fact, she doesn't eat ice a lot in summer, but she still went.Empress Dowager Cao was lying on her side on the cool couch in Shoukang Palace, listening to the palace servants reading the scriptures to herself. When she saw Liu Yue coming, she looked very amiable and said with a smile, "Go, they are playing in Axuan's room. It's just you."

Liu Yuexing saluted and passed away, still thinking about who they are.

Liu Yue followed the palace people there, only to realize that they were referring to Emperor Yuan Ning and Cao Xuan. After all, Liu Yue was young, she came from a prominent background, and grew up smoothly, where has she seen this before?Obviously it was Emperor Xiandi who bestowed marriage on her and Emperor Yuanning, but when she came here, Emperor Yuanning was not eating an ice bowl with Cao Xuan, he was clearly drawing eyebrows for Cao Xuan, Liu Yue didn't eat the ice bowl in a fit of anger, and returned angrily Grace Palace.

However, Liu Yue is worthy of being the granddaughter of Liu Fufeng, and she has the blood of a general in her bones.The ancestors of the Liu family started from fighting. Liu Yue's grandfather was Liu Fufeng, and his maternal grandfather was the king of Jin. Needless to say, Liu Fufeng's military exploits are well known in the world. The most outstanding among them, and because of this, King Jin was always in the Ministry of War when he was on duty in the court.

Liu Yue left angrily at first, but when she was halfway down the road, she thought about it, no, why should I go, stinky and shameless people are not shy, so why should she avoid it!But, it was all out of Shoukang Palace, and Liu Yue didn't go back. She went back to Mercy Palace, washed her face to cool off the heat, and now she also figured it out.At noon today, Yuanning Palace did not come to the Mercy Palace for dinner, so it must be used in Shoukang Palace, and Cao Xuan, since entering the palace, has always lived in Shoukang Palace.The two of them must have lunch at Shoukang Palace at noon. If Empress Dowager Cao really wanted to ask her to eat an ice bowl, wouldn't it be okay to send someone to bring it to her in such a hot day?Empress Dowager Su would never call her over at noon!Even if the hot weather asks her to come over, if she is sincere, she shouldn't be more than Cao Xuan.Still thrush, I bah!
Otherwise, this person is afraid of comparison with others.

If Empress Dowager Su would toss Liu Yue from time to time at noon, Liu Yue would probably feel that this is the rule in the palace.But Empress Dowager Su is a good-natured person, she always brings her things over, even if she asks Liu Yue to eat or talk, she never shouts at people at noon.

Liu Yue took a break and figured it out. She knew that Empress Dowager Cao might have deliberately asked her to come over to see how Emperor Yuan Ning and Cao Xuan loved each other.

Liu Yue thought, and sent the maid, "Send the box of snails that the former empress dowager rewarded me to Sister Cao. For painting at noon, I'm afraid I'll use Dai a lot, so give it to Sister Cao."

The maid was able to follow into the palace because she was loyal and conscientious, so she persuaded Liu Yue first, "Miss, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as that screwball, Hu Meizi. The servant girl will send it here, and see if that fox Meizi is ashamed?"

Liu Yue understood, and sneered, "If she felt ashamed, she wouldn't be able to do such a thing!" She sent the maid away.

Liu Yue lived very close to Princess Jiachun. Princess Jiachun was the daughter of King Zhao, the fifth elder brother of the first emperor. She was two years older than Liu Yue. Emperor Kangzong's father, Emperor Renzong, bestowed a marriage on the son of Earl Jiang Feng Feiyu. Feng Lie's.When King Zhao became a feudal lord, Princess Jiachun was still young, and the Empress Dowager loved her so much that she was left by her side to support her.Princess Jiachun's schedule is very similar to that of the Empress Dowager, and she also takes a nap at noon. She just woke up and came to talk to Liu Yue after washing up. Seeing Liu Yue sitting by the window and reading a book, her clothes were still the clothes she wore in the morning. She couldn't help saying, "Sister Liu , didn't you sleep for a while at noon?"

"No." Liu Yue said, "Ms. Cao just asked me to eat ice bowls, so I went."

Princess Jiachun didn't know what was going on, and joked, "Ms. Cao just loves my sister, so she didn't ask me to go with her."

Liu Yue smiled and said nothing, but Princess Jiachun said, "Ms. Cao is the best at instructing the cook to cook. Is the ice bowl delicious?"

"I didn't eat. When I went there, I saw His Majesty thrush Miss Cao's eyebrows, so I hurried back. I'm so embarrassed." Other little girls were either ashamed or angry when they saw their fiancé thrushing other women's eyebrows, or She was ashamed and angry, but Liu Yue was different, she came from the family of military generals, she was not like the girl from the civil servant's family who was still graceful, she directly told the story.

Princess Jiachun was a little embarrassed, and said, "This is not very good." The matter of thrushes has always been an elegant matter between husband and wife.Even Emperor Yuan Ning and Liu Yue, who had a marriage contract, didn't like this before they got married, let alone Cao Xuan, who had neither name nor identity.

Princess Jiachun is naturally partial to Liu Yue. Everyone has their own natural position, like the main wife, and few concubines are pleasing to the eye.Like concubines, there are not many who can treat the main wife fairly.With the status of Princess Jiachun, Liu Yue will be the Queen of the Palace in the future, and the Liu family is such a prominent family. Besides, they all live here with the Empress Dowager, so they are naturally closer than Cao Xuan.Princess Jiachun sent the palace servants away, and said to Liu Yue, "The emperor's grandmother is the most respectful of rules. She is the first one to please the emperor's grandmother. You don't have to be angry with her. You have lost your identity in vain. Call me instead. She is proud."

Liu Yue was also young, so she was old enough to say something, and said, "I just can't see this disrespect." Not only was Cao Xuan disrespectful, but Emperor Yuanning was even less respectful.Where does anyone go to the cousin's house to give the cousin thrush?Could it be that the palace didn't even teach the defense of men and women?And Empress Dowager Cao, who obviously asked her to go and see it!

Liu Yue is angry now thinking about it.

Close the trick, and count her alone!
Liu Yue directly ordered the maid to bring a box of snails to Dai, but Cao Xuan was ashamed for a while, and she blamed Emperor Yuanning, "Sister Liu must have misunderstood."

Emperor Yuan Ning was also 15 years old. He was passionate and comforted Cousin Cao, "Don't worry, sister Liu is not such a person."

Emperor Yuan Ning still had homework in the afternoon, and his servant came to look for him, so he went to study.

Cao Xuan hurriedly went to her aunt and told her about Liu Yue giving her Luo Zidai. Empress Dowager Cao has never seen such a small trick in the palace these years. Although the first emperor liked her style, Empress Dowager Cao If you don't have some means, you can't keep the late emperor's favor.Empress Dowager Cao didn't take Liu Yue's thoughts into consideration, and smiled with her niece indifferently, "If she gives it to you, you can take it. I am old and have passed away since the late emperor. Although the Empress Dowager is honored, I am a widow after all. These dai and pink ones are not used much. Even this dai, the best one should be offered to the Empress Dowager first. You have good eyebrows, so you should use such a good dai."

Empress Dowager Cao looked at the new eyebrows on her niece's face and said with a smile, "These eyebrows are well drawn."

Empress Dowager Cao's arrangement was good, it gave Liu Yue a heavy blow psychologically, but Empress Dowager Cao didn't know much about Liu Yue's temperament, she didn't know that Liu Yue had a big mouth, one noon, Liu Yue said this, The whole harem knows.

Empress Dowager Cao went to the Charity Palace in the evening, and Empress Dowager Su also said to her, "My sister is too real. Miss Cao entered the palace like this, why don't you prepare some good Dais for her? It's Ayue who is careful and gave her Dais to Miss Cao. Otherwise, wouldn’t Miss Cao be wronged.” Empress Dowager Su was originally a good tempered person, but Empress Dowager Cao deliberately arranged this, which was too embarrassing.Empress Dowager Su is not a steamed stuffed bun. Could it be that she still bears with Empress Dowager Cao?

Empress Dowager Cao didn't expect that even Empress Dowager Su knew about it, and said with a smile, "Ah Xuan has always been an easygoer, so I don't care about that."

Liu Yue grinned, "Even though Sister Axuan saves trouble, she is so beautiful, I can't let you down. I saw His Majesty holding Dai clumsily to draw eyebrows for Sister Axuan, so I felt that His Majesty's technique was not good in the first place. It is the hand that uses a brush to make articles and manage state affairs, but how can it be the hand that draws eyebrows for women? This is for Sister Axuan, and His Majesty is so clumsy. Wouldn't it be a pity for Sister Axuan's good looks. Someday Axuan My sister is getting married, I will also search for some good Dais to give to Sister Axuan. By the way, is Sister Axuan's marriage settled yet? Let me tell you, just find someone who is handy. After all, Sister Axuan likes to help you draw eyebrows, At the very least, he must be someone who knows how to thrush. Someone like Your Majesty is not good, he is too stupid, and he is not good enough for Sister Axuan."

Everyone in the Mercy Palace was a little dumbfounded. In the past, Liu Yue was a talkative and laughable person. I don't know that she is such a pungent person.This remark made Cao Xuan's face blush, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

Empress Dowager Xie said lightly, "Take a box of snails to reward Miss Cao."

Cao Xuan was holding back her tears, so she didn't shed tears.

Empress Dowager Cao was ashamed, and had to pretend to be nothing to thank her mother-in-law for her niece's reward. She flattered and said a few words, Xie Empress Dowager didn't like to see their aunts and nephews, so she asked Empress Dowager Cao to step down.

When Empress Dowager Cao returned to the palace, she was also very angry, and ordered someone to bring water to wash her niece's face. Cao Xuan cried, "Auntie, I'd better go out of the palace tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Cao sighed, "Did you see? You left the palace, who else is with me!" She patted her niece's hand and said, "You are leaving, and there is no one around me You are a caring person." In a word, Cao Xuan couldn't bring up the matter of the palace anymore.In fact, she didn't want to leave the palace either.My aunt is now the empress dowager, how prominent she is, and how rich this palace is. Although the Cao family is a middle-class family in the imperial capital, there is no shortage of wealth, but how can the wealth of the Cao family compare with the imperial family.What's more, being humiliated by Liu Yue, Cao Xuan was spoiled and spoiled at home since she was a child, how can she not hate or complain!Thinking that Liu Yue was just jealous that she was born better than her and that His Majesty liked it, but she wanted to see, who was the one who won His Majesty's favor after Liu Yue got the name of the posthumous position!
Therefore, when Emperor Yuanning arrived at Shoukang Palace, he did not see Cao Xuan, so Emperor Yuanning asked.Empress Dowager Cao sighed, "Ah Xuan is in the room, go and see her." She sighed again.

Emperor Yuanning asked his mother why she was sighing, but Empress Dowager Cao refused to say. Emperor Yuanning was a little worried about this cousin who had just painted her eyebrows during the day, so he hurriedly went to Cao Xuan's room.Cao Xuan said this, "Sister Liu's words are also correct... But, she really misunderstood, she was just joking with His Majesty during the day. I am like a brother of His Majesty... Sister Liu is going to be a queen in the future, that is My sister-in-law...just, why did Sister Liu misunderstand." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.

From then on, Emperor Yuanning alienated Liu Yue.

Liu Yue was not a fool, after living in the palace for half a month, she told the Empress Dowager that she wanted to go home, looking for a reason, saying that her younger brother's birthday was coming.Empress Dowager Xie said, "Filial piety and friendship, this is a good thing."

Did not stop her.

When Liu Yue left the palace, she was also given a set of expensive red treasure hair.Seeing this, Empress Dowager Su also rewarded Liu Yue with a pair of jade bis, and said that she could just come to the palace when she was free.As much as Empress Dowager Cao disliked Liu Yue, Empress Dowager Su liked Liu Yue as much. Mainly, Empress Dowager Su felt that although Liu Yue had a bit of a hot temper, she had a righteous heart.It's not like Cao Xuan, who looks delicate and soft on her face, and doesn't know how to use it in a serious place.

Liu Yue's temperament is naturally not to be pissed off. As soon as she returned home, she told the whole family about the matter, and said, "I was right. She is a cousin, the king of the next country. She was playing with thrushes in her room. I just said a few words to her, and said what I said in a dignified way. Even if His Majesty asked me, I would say the same thing. But later, His Majesty didn't ask me, so he treated me worse than before. Cao's instigation. This is the case today, what will happen in the future?"

Liu Yue didn't fall in love with Emperor Yuanning or anything like that. The aristocratic education these days is not about love and love. Since Liu Yue is going to be a queen, she first thinks about the responsibilities of the latter.Of course, she also hoped to be like Emperor Renzong and Empress Dowager Xie with Emperor Yuanning, but as soon as she entered the palace and met Cao Xuan, she knew that it might not be easy for Emperor Yuanning to be devoted to her.But take a step back, just like Emperor Kangzong and Empress Dowager Su, at least they are on equal footing.Now it seems that this is difficult.Emperor Yuanning clearly believed that the Cao family surpassed her, even so, Liu Yue didn't suffer from anger in the palace, she just went home to discuss countermeasures out of sight and out of mind.

Princess Wen Hui said, "Your child has a big temper."

Liu Yue said, "Mom, you don't know, they joined hands to bully me. If I didn't have any temper, I'd be suffocated to death."

Princess Wenhui was even annoyed by Mrs. Cao, and was also angry, but some words were not good for her daughter to hear, so she asked her to rest first, and then discussed with her husband, "What should I do? , A Yue's life may be difficult."

Liu Yu's face turned cold, "It's really deceiving! It was the first emperor who took the concubine in the past, and he only had a concubine after a year of marriage and no children." Of course, the Liu family can't let the emperor only guard his daughter, but the queen of the palace, the king of a country Mother, at least you have to know how to respect her.

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't let Ah Yue enter the palace yet, I'll discuss it with my father."

In fact, it was said that it was Emperor Taizong's mother, Hu, who brought a bad atmosphere in the palace, and everyone felt that giving birth to an emperor's son would make them lawless and domineering.After hearing what his son said, Liu Fufeng sighed and said, "It's all Hu's fault."

Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Can said, "The Cao family must want to give birth to the eldest son before ours." Otherwise, they couldn't be so hasty and disregarding decency.

Liu Fufeng said, "Don't be in a hurry, the sky won't fall yet. You all go on errands, don't show signs of this matter, just pretend that there is no such thing. When the women of the family go out, don't show the arrogance of being the queen's mother's family in the future." Come on, you must keep a low profile, and if there is such flattery again, don't accept it."

Both brothers agreed.

Empress Dowager Xie was very neat here, as soon as Liu Yue came home, Empress Xie sent Cao Xuan out of the palace.

Cao Xuan knew the reason in her heart, although she felt a little ashamed, and Liu Yue was rewarded by Empress Dowager Xie, but she got nothing.

Empress Dowager Xie's meaning is very clear, Liu Yue is gone, and you don't want to stay.

When Cao Bin saw his granddaughter returning home suddenly, he asked her about her affairs in the palace. After all, Liu Yue had said in advance that she would go home, and the Empress Dowager Xie gave her a reward, and Princess Wenhui came to pick her up in person.For Cao Xuan, the Cao family didn't get any news at first, so they just sent them out of the palace in a small sedan chair.Of course, the Cao family did not mean that Cao Xuan was wronged by a small sedan chair. Cao Xuan had no meritorious service, and it was only because of Empress Dowager Cao that she was able to sit in a small sedan chair.

Cao Xuan is also a smart person, and she already had a reasoning in her mind, and said, "Your Majesty treats me a little closer, Miss Liu doesn't like it. Your Majesty has to do homework and learn how to deal with government affairs on weekdays. I can have a time to talk easily. Once, His Majesty saw the new eyebrows that my aunt gave me. We were like brothers and sisters. We talked and laughed for a while, and Miss Liu saw me, but she made me a sneer. But she misunderstood , I just treat her as an elder brother in your Majesty's family. She gave me some Luozidai that the Empress Dowager gave her. If the Empress Dowager has good ones, they are all for her. For me, I just look down on me. Everyone in the palace knows that she is the future queen, who doesn't fawn on her? She bullies me, I don't feel annoyed, after all, I will not be as good as her in the future, but she has to treat her aunt a little bit Respect, for my aunt's sake, don't treat me like that."

Mrs. Cao felt great pity for her granddaughter and said, "My son, I have suffered for you."

Cao Xuan was born with a deep understanding of the tactics of retreating into advance. She said with tears, "Grandmother will not take me into the palace in the future, so as not to misunderstand the Liu family. I have long wanted to come back, but my aunt is also lonely in the palace. My aunt kept me all the time, and my aunt was pitiful. Miss Liu bullied me, so my aunt didn't want to stand out for me, but in front of the empress dowager, my aunt couldn't speak a word, and she cried when she returned to the palace. " Madam Cao also felt sad when she said that.

Cao Bin sighed straight away, not to mention the power of the Liu family, Miss Liu was a marriage bestowed by the late emperor before his death, no matter how you look at it, his family can't match the Liu family.However, thinking of the girl in the family being bullied by the girl of the Liu family, Cao Bin was also very unhappy.

After sending the granddaughter away, Mrs. Cao said to her husband, "The Liu family is too deceitful!"

Cao Bin said, "Miss Liu was a marriage bestowed by the late emperor after all, and it will be the empress's in the future. I know your feelings with your empress, but what's the benefit of having a stalemate with the Liu family at this time?"

"I also want Axuan to have a good relationship with Miss Liu, but depending on Miss Liu's temperament, how can it be good."

"Don't let Axuan enter the palace yet, let's talk about this matter slowly."

Mrs. Cao hesitated, and said, "I see what Axuan means, Your Majesty treats her well."

A faint smile escaped Cao Bin's lips, "Then don't let Axuan enter the palace."

After being an old couple for many years, Mrs. Cao immediately understood what her husband meant, and said with a smile, "It's still master."

Cao Bin said calmly, "This world is ultimately dominated by young people."

Originally, when Liu Yue left, Emperor Yuanning felt in his heart that he had indeed treated Liu Yue a little coldly recently.But then Cao Xuan also left, and Emperor Yuan Ning felt lost when he had time to reflect on his indifference to Liu Yue in the future.

Not for anyone else, the cousin of the Cao family really fit the youthful feelings of Emperor Yuanning.

Not as bright and lively as Liu Yue, the cousin of the Cao family is weak and delicate, like the most delicate orchid grass, which needs the most meticulous care.

Emperor Yuanning also said to his mother, "Why did you let Cousin Cao go suddenly, and didn't tell me at first?"

Ever since she was cleaned up by Empress Dowager Xie, Empress Dowager Cao was smart enough not to say anything wrong with Empress Dowager Xie. Seeing her son's appearance, Empress Cao smiled and said, "Ah Xuan has been here for so long, you My aunt and grandmother miss her too."

Emperor Yuanning said, "Everything in the palace is fine, my aunt and grandmother miss my cousin, just go to the palace to see her."

Empress Dowager Cao didn't answer her son's words, but instead asked about her son's homework.

Emperor Yuanning also had a lot of things to do every day. In fact, he had limited time to think about Cousin Cao, but in this limited time, he could still find time to think about Cousin Cao. It can be seen that Cousin Cao was indeed in the heart of Emperor Yuanning.

Emperor Yuanning was still thinking that on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, he ordered his wife to enter the palace to pay her respects. If she could not say that his grandmother had to bring his cousin into the palace, in the end, he counted the days and went to his mother's palace happily, but Cao's cousin did not come again.

After staying for a month, Mrs. Cao took Cao Xuan into the palace. Emperor Yuanning was very happy to see Cao Xuan, but Cao Xuan became indifferent to Emperor Yuanning.Who is Emperor Yuanning, and who has been indifferent to him.However, he only accepted Cao Xuan's tricks.

Empress Dowager Cao asked the children to play at home by themselves, and talked privately with their mother. Mrs. Cao was talking about the engagement of the grandson at home. Mrs. Cao laughed, "Ah Ting has already reached the age of engagement, this child has a high heart, I want to study all the time, and I won the second list in the current section Chunwei. I think the eldest princess Yongfu seems to have fallen in love with Ah Ting, so she asked me about Ah Ting's marriage."

Empress Dowager Cao was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Although the Wu family is the family of the Viscount, the daughter of the Eldest Princess is also worthy of Brother Ting."

Mrs. Cao laughed, "I also said the same thing. Your father said that when a good day is chosen, he will discuss it with Prince Wu and decide the matter for the children."

Empress Dowager Cao asked what day it was, and Mrs. Cao said it would be the eighth day of August.Empress Dowager Cao said, "Since this is the case, when the eldest princess enters the palace, I discussed it with the eldest princess. Wouldn't it be honorable to ask the empress dowager to marry me?"

Mrs. Cao laughed, "It's certainly decent, but I dare not think about it."

Empress Dowager Cao smiled, "Don't worry, mother, just leave this matter to me."

Ever since Princess Yongfu offended the Empress Dowager Xie once many years ago, she felt a little short in front of the Empress Dowager Xie. Fortunately, her face has been practiced over the years. She often comes to the palace, thank you The Empress Dowager would not drive her out, she came a lot, and she had such a temperament, she could make do with it, that's all.

I want to thank the Empress Dowager for saying that Princess Yongfu and Crown Prince Mourning are not like brothers and sisters, but they are like brothers and sisters with King Jin.

Princess Yongfu entered the palace, and Empress Dowager Cao was also speaking in the Palace of Mercy. The two talked about the marriage of the two families, and wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to give him a marriage or something.The Empress Dowager Xie did not refuse, and said with a smile, "Since both of you are willing, and you have asked to come to me, I will add some happiness." She agreed to give the marriage.

Empress Dowager Su was very worried about Emperor Yuanning and Cao Xuan, so she told her mother-in-law privately that Empress Dowager Su was not a person who used to gossip, so Empress Dowager Su sighed, "Daughter-in-law doesn't want the emperor to get close to Cao's family?" Daughter, but, no matter what, you should wait until after your big marriage, and come in through a serious draft. What is it like now? Every time he ordered his wife to come to the palace to pay his respects, the emperor would fly to Shoukang Palace. The daughter-in-law always felt that this Like, not very good."

"You are a sensible person." Empress Dowager Xie said, "I know this well."

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Xie liked Liu Yue's temperament quite a lot, but Liu Yue's luck was not good, and Emperor Yuanning actually liked Cao's daughter's style.Unmarried men and women who are unmarried, the Empress Dowager Xie did not make a move, and she acted quickly and ruthlessly. This time, the Empress Dowager Xie did not show mercy, and directly cut the title of the Cao family, and even the Empress Dowager Cao received a slap in the face , As for Cao Xuan, Empress Dowager Xie said that she would never be allowed to enter the palace.

Cao Xuan was dumbfounded when she was dragged from the bed by the maid in the palace, and then she was stuffed into a sedan chair and sent home, and then there was the decree of the Cao family's denomination and her edict that she would never enter the palace. fainted.

And the most ignorant one is Princess Yongfu. The eldest princess of Yongfu opened her mouth wide and couldn't say a word. She, her, her granddaughter is engaged to the Cao family!
Also, she personally invited the Empress Dowager Xie to give her the marriage.

Once the marriage is given, this kiss will never be refunded!

At this moment, Princess Yongfu's intestines are turning green with regret.
