Chapter 129 What Kind of Person Does the Emperor Like?

Yun Fenghuang managed to spread the word the next day, and met Jiang Shi at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion on the third day.

"Mother, Your Majesty intends to choose Jiang's son as the master." The mother and daughter met each other, and the scene was cleared. She immediately said, "Which cousin or cousin of the Jiang family do you think is suitable?"

"Jiang's son?" Jiang said unexpectedly, "Why does Your Majesty think of Jiang's son? What's more, Your Highness is a golden branch and jade leaf. How can I match it from a small family in the north?!"

Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "It's not the mother queen, the empress dowager, but because of the failure of the Ji family, she wanted to blackmail Princess Jinyun and descended to Haixihou's youngest son. As a result, rumors came out in the palace, and her majesty forced her to stick Killed a group of palace officials, pretending that this never happened—His Majesty turned to me and asked me to inquire about the young unmarried men who will end up with Enke in the coming year, so I agreed, but His Majesty asked about it the next day Jiang's son's situation."

Jiang looked at her with squinted eyes: "Did Your Majesty ask me about the situation of Xie's children?"

"I just asked when the disciples of the Xie clan arrived in the Imperial Capital." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "I think His Majesty still prefers the sons of the Jiang clan. It's just that I don't know that my cousins ​​will also come this time...but I don't know which cousin in the middle is so talented and attractive, but impresses His Majesty in advance?"

"I think His Majesty didn't say anything, but you are so suspicious, you can't even believe it as a mother, right?" Jiang Shi looked at her with a half-smile, and suddenly his face darkened, "Tell the truth!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang held his round fan and said depressedly, "You said that you won't beat me if I grow up and disobedient!"

Jiang said angrily: "Then you swore before that you would be obedient and not angry with me!"

Yun Fenghuang: "..."

Forget it, what the ancestors say doesn't matter, so don't laugh at the mother and daughter.

She cried and said, "God knows what His Majesty is planning! But he did let me pay attention to the scholars who were going to Enke, thinking that the princesses were looking for a son-in-law... I didn't think that Brother Eleven and the others just happened to be unmarried, His talent and appearance are outstanding, maybe he can catch His Majesty's eyes?"

"But two days ago, His Majesty suddenly asked about Jiang's children and urged me to meet you, this..."

"So you are worried that Your Majesty intends to let Jiang's son be the Lord, and my mother is Jiang's daughter. I am afraid that my elbows will be turned outward, and I would like to see my mother's family marry the Tian family?" Jiang snorted coldly, "So let's meet Test me first?"

Yun Fenghuang brazenly stepped forward to hold her arm, and said affectionately: "Mother, you said that! The daughter was taught by you, not to mention that the blue is better than the blue, it's so simple. Let you See the flaws? This is not to be out of touch with you, so is there any meaning to express it directly?"

"As far as what you have done in the past few months, you are still better than blue." Jiang said with disgust, "It would be nice if you don't piss me off!"

But in the end, he didn't care about the temptation in his daughter's words just now, and said seriously, "Our mother and I are talking in private, and we don't talk about those falsehoods: indeed, if the Jiang family becomes a son-in-law, my mother's position in the Xie family must be as stable as a mountain. It is not impossible to even pull down your eldest aunt directly and let your father surpass your uncle as the head of the family!"

"On the contrary, once your eleventh brother and the others are favored by the Tian family, they will definitely favor their parents. At that time, our family's status in the clan will not be as good as it is now."

"However, if you calculate it this way, it is nothing more than a petty profit between each house and house within the Xie family."

"Looking towards the harem, it seems too stupid."

"Although the Jiang family treats our mother well, it is mainly because of the high status of your mother and you in the Xie family-remember, sympathy, self-cultivation, guilt, gratitude, affection...these will breed Respect and kindness are both temporary, and people's hearts are fickle, and once they change, joy and hatred are only in one thought!"

Jiang's face was expressionless, "But in this world, as long as you are strong enough, even people who have never met and have nothing to do with you will instinctively respect you and dare not belittle you. Long-term respect has always been earned by yourself. It came here, not by others’ pity or nurture. Why can I be a fan of the authorities when I tell you so repeatedly, my mother?”

"In today's world, it is acceptable to marry with your husband. As a mother, you are a daughter of the Jiang family. If you marry your father, you are a member of the Xie family. If you go back to the Jiang family, you are just a guest. Status, in order to suppress your aunts, let you promote Jiang's son to become the master, even if you can use this kindness to show off in Xie's family in recent years... But what about in the future? When your mother is gone, your brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews, including you , how much help can I get from the Jiang family?"

"But if the Shangzhu is a descendant of the Xie family, the lintel of the Xie family is Guangyao, and your brother, sister-in-law, nephew, is it possible that they will not support you? After all, it is difficult to support the son-in-law. No matter how favored the son-in-law is, he still needs the help of his brothers and nephews-this matter My mother knows your worries, so I will give you a straight line right now: You just do what you want, my mother is not the eldest daughter-in-law, and it is of course that she has been able to maintain the harmony on the scene with your aunt and the others all these years. Pressing them down with your wrists is actually your aunt and the others who understand the righteousness, and never want to make too much trouble for outsiders to watch."

She sighed at this point and touched her daughter's temple hair, "You are often with Qi Jiulu at home. Although the relationship between the two is good because of this, it makes it difficult for you to see things at home. The harmony of the family, in the short term They can still rely on tricks to mediate, and the long-term peace and harmony is definitely not the credit of one or two people, but the tacit understanding of the vast majority of people!"

"My mother knows that you are forcing you to have a birth with your sister for the sake of your cousins, so I don't have a good impression of the second room of the eldest room. But you have to know that there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine. It is right for the mother to give your sister the birth share. The treatment of women is also subsidizing the difference between the company and the middle school from the private house, so the upper and lower levels did not say anything publicly. Otherwise, do you think this kind of thing is just a petty fight between you children?"

Moreover, "Although Wei Niang raised your elder sister as her own daughter, it doesn't mean that Wei Niang hopes that other aunts will do the same: one is that Wei Niang gave birth to your four elder brothers at that time, and they were already short of daughters. It is an opportunity to build a good reputation for your mother; the second is your sister's pleasing temperament. If you are a white-eyed wolf, you really can't do anything to the child if you are a mother?"

It's not like the Jiang family didn't know about the methods used by concubine to raise children before he came out of the court.

It's just that Xie Fenghuan won her favor, so she didn't want to use it.

"In short, you are the daughter of the Xie family. It is only natural for you to plan for the Xie family. No matter if the matter is successful or not, if it spreads, the Xie family will only be grateful to you, and the Jiang family has nothing to say." Seeing her daughter pondering He sighed, patted the back of her hand, and said earnestly, "If you plan for someone else, you will offend Mrs. Xie first! Can you give up your future and future for your own little dispute?"

"...Actually, it's not just that." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then whispered, "I'm still worried, is this His Majesty's temptation?"

Jiang shi raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a questioning expression.

"Your Majesty bluntly said that he didn't like the son-in-law chosen by the Empress Dowager for Her Highness Princess Jinyun, and even forcibly issued a password to separate the princess from Ji Minggan..." Yun Fenghuang whispered about the accident of praying for blessings, "Please ask me, thank you Brother of the family, I asked the children of the Jiang family two days ago and urged me to meet you. I thought, Your Majesty wants to see me, will I act according to my own interests, or try to figure out the holy will and consider for Your Majesty?"

Jiang Shi said, "This royal rule is really..."

Immediately said, "Why do you have to worry about this? For your own consideration, of course you recommend my Xie family's children; for your majesty's consideration, your majesty's promotion of my northern children is nothing more than to counter the Dingbei army, so my Xie family is in the north The prestige of connections in the land is not stronger than that of the Jiang family? Moreover, the Qi family is the most respected in the Northland these years, and Qi Jiulu, the eldest son, has clearly voted for the Regent's Palace!"

"Except for me, Mrs. Xie, who can compete against Mrs. Qi?"

The Jiang family took it for granted, "Furthermore, our family was dismissed by the Qi family back then. If His Majesty intends to do something with the Qi family in the future, there is no need to find any reason!"

The voice lowered again, "Not to mention the good relationship between the two families because of your marriage contract with Qi Jiulu back then, and the details of the Qi family, I knew all about it early in the morning! Even if your majesty wants to submit a certificate of honor, it is not impossible."

It's as if when I met Qi Jiulu on the Dijing Road, I swallowed a "virtuous nephew" with tears in my eyes, as if the mother and son had been separated for many years and finally reunited, it wasn't her who wished to hug each other and cry...

Although he already knew that his mother was proficient at using the same thing in person and behind the scenes, Yun Fenghuang was still a little speechless: "Mother, at least you watched him grow up, even if he is not compared with me, at least he is only a little worse than my sister." ?”

Qi Jiulu was more obedient and obedient to the Jiang family than to his own mother, the Chen family.

On the one hand, it is because of Yun Fenghuang's face; on the other hand, the Chen family is far less able to coax children than the Jiang family...

Yun Fenghuang felt that if she were the Jiang family, after more than ten years of love, she would still be the son-in-law-to-be. She guessed that she would not be able to count his worth, life, and even the family as soon as he turned around.

But for the Jiang family, this is a matter of course: "Your sister's incident affected your boudoir's reputation back then. Do you think that the Qi family didn't know that you were wronged? But didn't they choose to withdraw their marriage? Of course, I don't mean to hate them .It’s just that life is like this: everyone must first think about themselves and their own family, and then think about others. Even some people only think about themselves in this life and don’t think about what others should do.”

"As you said, my mother watched Qi Jiulu grow up with her own eyes. It is impossible to say that she doesn't like him."

"But before you and your brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews live a stable and prosperous life, the children of other people's families don't care about their lives as mothers!"

There was no expression on her face, and she said calmly, "After all, you are my children and grandchildren, and I should take care of you. Qi Jiulu is not!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang knew that he couldn't convince her, so he sighed in his heart and said, "That's all, but don't attack him rashly. Your Majesty knows my relationship with him, or I said it myself. What do you think His Majesty will think of us when our family starts attacking him? You said before that even if His Majesty has pretended to be kind and tolerant all these years, he must have acquired some real honesty. He will not like to cross rivers and tear down bridges without mercy of the righteous."

"I'm very glad that you are willing to consider what kind of person His Majesty likes." Jiang's eyes softened when he heard this, and he smiled, "I have inquired about some news these days, and I have thought about it carefully. In fact, you are now Your situation is not bad: although it was a mistake, you never concealed your true nature in front of His Majesty, which is actually a mistake."

Waving her hand to stop what her daughter wanted to say, she said in a low voice, "Our Majesty had a reputation for being studious when he was in Fuyang County. Although the Empress Dowager Yuan did it deliberately, my mother managed to find out a few things that were probably true: When he was just learning calligraphy, the queen mother was afraid that he would hurt his health when he was young, so she stipulated that even if he could not write well, he would not write until he reached a certain number of words a day. But he was not satisfied with himself. Additional training... Later, it was the same for martial arts. It was not until after ascending the throne that I was probably afraid of attracting Ji's taboo, so I restrained myself a lot and kept a low profile."

"You said that with his background, even if he didn't understand it when he was young, he didn't know the dignity of his own family even if he didn't work hard? Even if he was worried that the succession of the bastard would not be stable enough, and worried that he would have future troubles if he slackened, With a mother like Empress Dowager Yuan around, as long as he knows how to behave, can the Empress Dowager not tell him the truth?"

"But he can continue to study hard. This kind of heart, this perseverance... What kind of person do you think he will like?"
