In the 18th year of Yuanwu, February 12th.
Western Garden, Hanyuan Hall.
When I woke up early in the morning, the princesses and princesses came to congratulate Daiyu on her thirty-five years old...
In the main hall, Jia Qiang was wearing a regular dress and sat in the same seat as Daiyu, and the imperial concubine Yin Ziyu was right next to the right.
Next, the concubine Baochai and Yan Sanniang sat left and right.
Further down, there are the concubines in the harem.
Most of them are sisters who grew up together when they were young, or they were originally a family, so they get along very well and have a happy atmosphere.
Princess Changle arrived first among her children and knelt down and presented a three-foot-high precious pearl coral tree as a birthday gift.
It is dazzling, obviously a rare treasure!
But before she could be proud, she heard...
Lan girl, don’t fool me with these.This is still missing in this palace now?
Daiyu looked at Changle Qinglan, who was loved by thousands of people, far better than the princes, who really grew up in a honey pot, and said in a bad tone.
Li Qinglan was so smart. Seeing this, she quickly gave a bright smile. Under the teasing of the imperial concubines, she ran to Daiyu's knees and knelt down and hugged her, and said coquettishly: Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry, but she is worried that her father will not be able to bear it!
Daiyu stopped hearing this, then turned her head and looked at Jia Qiang who was gently rubbing the bridge of her nose, and asked annoyedly: Is it true?
Jia Qiang tsk and smiled again. Seeing her daughter keep whispering to him, she sighed and said: Oh, I really can't bear to leave Ah...
As soon as this said, he poked the hornet's nest. Except for Qinglan, all the concubines criticized him, making his mind buzzing.
Glazed at the daughter who was walking aside, Jia Qiang raised her hand and said: OK OK! Please look for a while and see what young heroes are there. Let’s talk about the right ones...
Let’s talk about it?
Daiyu said dissatisfied.
Jia Qiang was even more dissatisfied: Can't I just find a little Wangba and marry my daughter?What should I do if I am entrusted to someone?
Daiyu smiled helplessly: You are so... hopeless!
Even Ziyu held back his smile and said: Fortunately, the emperor gave birth to a daughter, otherwise what would happen?
Jia Qiang said bitterly: The emperor's daughter will not have to worry about marrying, and she will do it as she wishes.
Daiyu also sighed: It’s a pity that she is not as senior as her seniority, otherwise Anzhi would be considered a good match...
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sneer from Jia Qiang beside him. Seeing this, the concubines kept their mouths and laughed secretly, while Xiangyun, Tanchun and others laughed loudly.
Daiyu was furious and looked at Jia Qiang angrily and said: How?
Jia Qiang hummed and said: Although An Zhi is not bad, he wants to be my son-in-law and son-in-law... he wants to be my son-in-law and be blind!
Yan Sanniang smiled and said: That's a bad thing, but Pity Changle will be really hard to get out of business in the future.Anzhi is also the one we grew up watching. In terms of character, appearance, and talent, they are all like sisters, and are the best in the world.Even he can't catch the emperor's eyes. How many people in the world can do it?
Feng Jie'er looked at Jia Qiang strangely and asked: Master, if there is a young man who is almost the same as the emperor, would he be worthy of Changle?
Everyone looked over. After Jia Qiang thought seriously for a while, he finally shook his head slowly, frowned and spit out three words: No way!
The concubines laughed like a ball and didn't mention it. Daiyu also burst out laughing, looked at him with a wide eyelid, and said: Sister Ziyu is really right just now. It's a pity that only one girl was left behind. Otherwise, the emperor would be worried about his son-in-law!
Everyone else laughed, Du Qinglan's eyes were a little red, and she walked to Jia Qiang and knelt in front of her knees, impressed her.
Jia Qiang smiled and stroked her forehead, and said warmly: It's irrelevant, it's all stubborn jokes.When I really want to marry, as long as I look for good to you and as long as you like it, I will recognize the beggar.
Qinglan's eyes were just red, but when she heard this, she cried out with a wow sound, hugged Jia Qiang's legs tightly and cried: My daughter is not married, my daughter only needs the father and mother!
Baochai and others looked at Li Jing with a sneer not far away, and they almost burst into laughter.
Fortunately, the palace servant outside reported to him: His Highness the Crown Prince and his uncle Lin Anzhi arrived.
Now there is no need for Jia Qiang and Daiyu to coax it. Li Qinglan got up and took a wisp of the embroidered handkerchief at will. Her face became smooth and she stood beside Daiyu as if nothing had happened.
Daiyu was both funny and angry. Seeing that Jia Qiang was still quite proud, she glared at the father and daughter speechlessly, and saw the eunuch leading Li Luan and Lin Anzhi in.
However, when they saw the birthday gifts they held together, everyone was surprised and looked straight.
Li Qinglan took a few steps forward, then put her hips on her hips and scolded: What the hell are you two doing? What to do if you carry a piece of coal?
Perhaps because Jia Qiang is here, Li Luan is not able to deal with it easily.
Lin Anzhi, who was so elegant, smiled and said: This is not ordinary coal. This was the one I went to Xishan early this morning, and I personally... carried it on the train, and drove it out by myself.
You...uncle, are you in a bad mind?You dare to take the prince to the mine, you...
Li Qinglan's face turned pale, her thin lips trembled, and she was furious and wanted to get started.
Although Lin Anzhi has a high grade, he is one year younger than her. He grew up with him when he was young, so it is common for him to do something...
Not only Li Qinglan, but Daiyu stood up and looked down with a solemn face.
Coal mines... When they reach their location, how could they not know that there are often accidents in coal mines in the world?
Perhaps there are not many accidents in Xishan coal mines, but how many coal mines in the world are really average. Not to mention the news of collapse every day, it is definitely not uncommon.
Inducing the prince to go to the Coal Mountain is a serious crime!
Lin An avoided Li Qinglan's hand and said anxiously: You are really... I deliberately paused and explained that it was because I was lifting it into the car with my own hands, so where did it become a mine?
Li Luan ignored this and went up to kowtow and said, "Please be at peace with my father and mother, and I wish my mother a bright sun and moon, and evergreen pine and cranes."Good luck and youth will never grow old!He also explained: My son was ordered by his father to take charge of the new train and railway track laying responsibilities.In the past two days, my son and uncle went to Xishan Coal Mountain to investigate and test it out in person, and after personally testing it, they found that this thing should be a valuable weapon for my country!If this thing can be laid out, the national strength will surely rise significantly again!Not only in the great land, but also in the vassal lands, especially in the flat Tang and Han vassal states, laying railways and running trains will strengthen the rule.Also, completely different situations will be opened up in water conservancy, smelting and transportation capacity!
The son minister finally understood the good intentions of the father to hand over this job to the son minister.
With the ability of a son, even if he worked hard one hundred times or ten thousand times, it would be difficult to meet the back of his father.
However, the benefits of trains and railways have given me hope.
Even if you can never compare with the bright light of your father and the bright moon, you will never regret even if your son dies!
My son originally prepared other precious birthday gifts, but after knowing this, my son changed the birthday gifts again. My son wanted to share with my mother the greatest joy and greatest hope at this time!
After saying that, he kowtowed three times in a row.
Daiyu was already excited and crying at this moment.
She had always known that her son had been living in the shadow of his father.
The princes of the founding kings of all dynasties and the princes of the Emperor Zhongxing have all lived a difficult life.
But she knew that her son had a particularly difficult life.
The prince in the past always had some hope to surpass his father.
Jia Qiang's great achievements are the resurrection of Qin Emperor and Han Wu, how can we surpass it?
Therefore, she understood Li Luan's pain and felt even more sorry for his inferiority and endless pressure.
Unexpectedly, Li Luan could pick up confidence today...
Daiyu took the embroidered handwritten handed by Zijuan, wiped the corner of her eyes, and looked at Jia Qiang who was happy again, with a soft look as sweet as honey, and then turned around and called Li Luan, saying: This is the best birthday gift that the mother has received, and the emperor is intent.
Li Luan was also very happy, especially when she saw that Jia Qiang was no longer vicious, she stood up happily.
Lin Anzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said: Sister, this birthday gift is not only for the sixteenth, but also for mine!Look, look, the black and gray on my hand is still there!
Seeing this, Daiyu held back and said with a smile: What is this place? You are making trouble here? Go! Go! Go!
etc.
Jia Qiang called out to Lin Anzhi who had been confused and said with a smile: Anzhi, I remember that when you performed the 16th ceremony, I gave you some Delin lords. Although not many, it is enough for you to be a wealthy family for a lifetime.Your elder sister has given birth, so you want to be so vague?
Lin Anzhi burst into tears when he heard this. Why didn’t your son see you just now?
However, under the eaves, people dared not look up to argue and smiled: Emperor, I personally think that the treasures and treasures of gold and silver in the world are all ordinary things, and they are really not worthy of the peerless virtues that the Empress, even the Queen Mother, could not meet even the Queen Mother!Seeing that Jia Qiang's eyes became increasingly unkind, he said hurriedly and truthfully: As for my little bit of furniture, I was going to keep it when I went overseas to open Xinjiang in the future. Cough cough, I can't bear to move.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone except Jia Qiang and Daiyu were surprised.
The Lin family has only this only son, and Daiyu has only this younger brother, so she still has to go out to sea?!
Everyone looked at Jia Qiang, but Jia Qiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: Forget it, let’s spare you this time, let’s go.
Lin Anzhi passed by happily, walked to Li Luan and stood still, instead of blinking his eyes.
However, Li Luan's face was not very good. She seemed to have not seen him, and stood there with her eyes down.
He hopes that this extremely smart uncle can stay and help him...
Soon after, Li Zheng led dozens of hands and feet to come here, kneeling in a large hall, and various birthday greetings were flying.
There are also various rare treasures as birthday gifts, making the hall brilliant and brilliant.
Li Zhuan, where is your brother?Why didn't you see him come?
At this moment, Baochai looked at the youngest son who was grinning in the prince with a faint expression and asked.
Hearing this, the princes suddenly burst into laughter.
This made Baochai, who had always been strong, look bad. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the group of fools who were also the ones she had watched as growing up as a child.
Not to mention, Li Zheng, Li Liu, Li Shu and others were really afraid when they saw her face sinking. Li Zheng hurriedly bowed and said: Mother De, please calm down. My son and others are not brave enough to laugh at the mother's words, but... Mother and others are waiting for a moment. The eighth brother is really a wonderful person. He has prepared a very special birthday gift for his mother, but my son and others are definitely not there.
After hearing this, Baochai's expression improved a little and said to Daiyu: This bastard has never been a day since I asked me to worry about it.
Daiyu smiled and said: You are not wronged. Xiao Ba beats Xiao Lingli. He started to share his father's worries just thirteen. It's not as unbearable as you said. Let me see, what has he prepared again!
As he was talking, he saw Mu Di, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, enter with a strange expression on his face.
After returning from Malacca back then, Mu Di transferred from Yin Hou to Yin Ziyu to listen to him, loyal.
Because Daiyu didn't like eunuchs very much, she had many concubines around Zhaorong Cai, so she asked Mu Di to take over as an eunuch in the six palaces.
For example, during the major events of the New Year, Mu Di will come to take charge of it.
After entering the room, Mu Di bowed and said, "Report to the Emperor, the Empress, the Eighth Prince... the Eighth Prince requested an audience."
Jia Qiang said nothing, Daiyu held back and said with a smile: Let’s go.
The princes began to feel uncontrollably happy again. Seeing that they were so excited, the imperial concubines didn't understand much, so they all missed them.
until……
They saw the eighth prince Li Jing, holding a pretty girl in his own hands and joining in...
……
Baochai, who had just sipped a sip of tea, saw this beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and almost lost her composure in horror.
It's simply...unreasonable!!
Although it is not the past now, it is no longer embarrassing for a girl to show up in public, but... there is no reason to show up with a man!
Did this inexplicable girl fall from the sky?
Although Baochai and Jia Qiang have not experienced matchmakers, at most her brother is talking about asking for the orphans all day long, she never hopes that her son will come like this.
Although Jia Qiang spoke before, there is no need to get married blindly.
However, if you don’t get married blindly, it doesn’t mean you will be taken home directly!
Looking at the girl again, she was so nervous that she was trembling. This was what she should be.
What's not supposed to be that she could still hold on and move forward with the smiling Li Jing...
Is this what a serious lady should do?
Looking at the simple clothes, my clenched hands didn't look like the hands of a lady who was reading and writing to make a girl...
Baochai became more and more shocked and angry!
Li Jing, how crazy!
Hehe, father, mother, son and daughter, together with Chu Niang, wish her mother Song Lao to grow old, and she will be three thousand years old!
The brothers were not worried about the big deal when they watched the fun, and they applauded.
The eyes of the concubines and others were always on the girl named Chu Niang. Daiyu looked at Li Jing and saw Li Jing nodding slightly, she knew that this woman must have a clean family background.
Looking at Jia Qiang again, he actually saw Jia Qiang smiling. His expression could not be hidden from her in her eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied.
Daiyu was even more surprised. His Highness, a girl, could tell at first glance that she was not a daughter of a high school, or even... she might not be the daughter of a gentleman.
Jia Qiang had previously issued an order for the princes to marry the daughter of a famous family. How could he be...
However, although she was surprised, she still smiled and said with a smile: Eighth Prince, you are giving your mother a great surprise today.If you don’t talk about it yet, what’s going on?
In front of the most noble people in the hall, Li Jing held hands with a smile on his face, and said: Mother, speaking of it, Chu Niang is still a disciple of his father...
Daiyu and others were all stunned, but Jia Qiang laughed silently, but didn't say anything.
When Daiyu saw it, she became more and more surprised and asked: Oh?How do you say this?Why don’t this palace know that your father and his female disciples have?
Baochai said in a faint voice: Li Jing, today is the Qianqiu Festival for your mother, not the time for you to make trouble.
Li Jing's face stagnated, but seeing that Jia Qiang was not angry, he felt relieved again and said with a smile: Mom, my son is not a mess.
Hearing this, Chu Niang's snow-white face beside him relieved a little...
Baochai wanted to say something, but when Jia Qiang looked at her, she finally took care of the moment and did not speak again.
Li Feng was so clever. Seeing this, he felt at ease and said with a smile: Chu Niang lives in Nancheng, and only one grandmother is alive at home, and there is a young brother below.On weekdays, she makes a living by selling barbecue, and is famous for barbecue Xishi in Nancheng.Although she can't even say anything she's fooling around now, four years ago, I occasionally passed by her shop and smelled the smell of meat and went in. But after a few sneers, I asked her to chase her halfway through the street with an iron chisel...
Chu Niang couldn't help but defend herself: I saw that he was young and didn't study well, so I...
Before he finished speaking, he saw the nobles like gods looking at him, and could not continue to speak anymore, and his whole body was stiff.
Li Jing looked at Jia Qiang and laughed: Father, you told me before that I would not ask me to marry blindly, but rather that I would rather see my ministers happy. When I heard those words, my ministers’ hearts would rise.Father, it is the happiest thing in your life that your son can be your son.I also ask my father to help me, my son’s marriage with Chu Niang!
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Jia Qiang laughed and was about to speak, but Baochai said coldly: Why are you anxious? Today is the day of your mother's great joy. What are you going to have? Furthermore, there is an old lady in the woman's family, how could you children take the initiative?
Upon hearing this, Li Jing's smile immediately froze on Maitreya-like smile, which was already a face-to-face rejection...
He doesn't care, but Chu Niang...
Although Li Jing felt extremely distressed, he had no other choice. He could only look at Jia Qiang with a glance and said: Father, mother, concubine, grandmother Chu Niang is now lying on the bedside. Chu Niang takes care of all the big and small things at home. The old lady has been unable to take charge of the affairs for a long time...
Jia Qiang said lightly: Well, he is a good boy who keeps improving himself.However, marrying my prince is a great blessing and a great misfortune.What you have to face is much more complicated and difficult than running a small shop and managing a poor family of three.For example, your mother-in-law doesn't like you, and her sisters-in-law are all nobler than you, and even the concubines of Xiaoba will be of higher origin than you.Can you bear this?
Upon hearing this, Chu Niang raised her face. The color was pretty good, but it was not that stunning. Many people missed her, what did Li Jing like to like her...
However, they soon knew.
Chu Niang looked up at Jia Qiang, her eyes as if she saw a saint, her hands folded in front of her, and looked at Jia Qiang and asked: The saint is the best, but the people don’t understand these things, so she can only ask the saint, what should you do?
hiss!
Many people gasp in their hearts. Just by this sentence, they have to praise them for being so brave and intelligent!
Jia Qiang also raised his eyebrows and laughed: If it were me... in my eyes, his status is actually no different. It wasn't that I was the supreme at this time that I said so, when I was in a downturn, I was not as good as you, and I could only make a living by barbecue. What about the queen, the granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion, and the beloved daughter of Tanhualang, a clan of the fourth generation of marquises. How precious is it? But I have never been afraid of it. Can you do it?
Upon hearing this, Chu Niang pursed the corners of her lips and nodded slowly, responding: Yes!The emperor, the common woman is not a person who is greedy for wealth and honor. It was not until just now that she knew Xiaopang... that she knew her identity.Early in the morning, he went to my house and told me that his mother had given birth. She wanted to see me and asked me if I dare to celebrate my birthday.The young lady said no, and he said that I despise the poor and love the rich, and that he was born in a lowly state.Although the girl knew that he was deliberately provoking me, she still gave up her skin and came with him because he was a fat man...
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They looked at Li Jing next to them and were looking at Chu Niang foolishly. Everyone was amused when they saw it.
When the brothers gathered together in the Japanese, this man always said that he had read three thousand Japanese girls and challenged countless Silla maids. As for Annan girls, Siamese girls, and Western Japanese girls, he also had many dabbles.
It is so convincing that people are skeptical...
Unexpectedly, it turns out to be a love species!
It really makes people laugh!
However, it is also a bit touching.
Following a concubine's son home to celebrate his birthday is ready to be humiliated...
Only Baochai almost burst into blood in her heart.
Out of poverty...
This evil son!!
Seeing Jia Qiang and her nodding slightly, Daiyu took off a Ruyi Double-Happy Jade Phoenix Golden Bracelet from her wrist, handed it to Qinglan on the side, and said: When Xiao Ba was rarely in a positive shape, the emperor and I could see that he was really moved.Since this is the case, parents can only wish you blessings.There are so many things to do today, and I will stay in the palace to talk about it in detail in the evening.
Qinglan smiled and put the gold bracelet on Chu Niang's hand, and said with a smile: I am your elder sister-in-law!
Jia Qiang was in a good mood. She was not only happy for Li Jing to find the person she liked, but also for... this point was really wonderful.
It just blocked the rumors that the Tian family weakened the aristocratic family through the prince's proposal...
Although he was not afraid of anything, if there was evidence that he could fight back the rumors on the surface, there would be no reason to refuse the rest.
Moreover, he, the eight son, is indeed extremely smart!
I found an excellent point to facilitate this matter. In this way, he, the emperor, was embarrassed to take away his responsibilities as the Minister of the Interior...
For other princes, a powerful wife is a good thing, but for Li Jing, who has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several years, a powerful wife is not necessary.
Even the weaker ones are better than the strong ones!
After suffering a big loss, this son became more and more diligent...
However, looking at Baochai's expression on the side, you know that she is afraid that she will be extremely unhelpful at this moment, but she is not in a hurry, and Li Jing will explain it herself.
After Liu Daniu and Shi Lei also entered the palace and celebrated their birthday with Daiyu, Jia Qiang led Prince Li Luan, Lin Anzhi and Xiao Shitou to the Qinzheng Hall together.
In a while, the wives and officials of the Wuxun were ordered to enter the palace to congratulate the queen for a long time.
But today there are obviously other highlights. The princes who stayed behind will ask the queen to give her marriage and marry daughters from each family.
Except for Baochai, the other imperial concubines were also full of joy today and were very happy...
Li Jing, who was originally sitting on pins and needles, saw that Chu Niang, who was incompatible with the noble atmosphere around him, felt a little uncomfortable, so he smiled and said to Daiyu: Mother, my son-in-law will take Chu Niang to go for a walk first...
Before Daiyu could speak, she heard Baochai say with a faint face: No.
As soon as she spoke like this, Daiyu couldn't let her go.
I can't offend Baochai for a wife who has not yet passed away...
Fortunately, at this time, Mu Di came to pass the imperial edict: The emperor issued an edict: He took the eighth son Li Feng and took Chu Niang with him.
Li Jing's tears were almost over. After all, it was his father Gao Yi. After a quick greeting, he hurriedly left with Chu Niang, who was dizzy and stiff in his head...
Looking at Baochai who was about to be angry, Daiyu couldn't help laughing out loud and said angrily: Just put away this look quickly. Can his father still harm him?There are some things you don’t know, just turn around and ask clearly.
Baochai breathed slowly...
……
Western Garden, Hanyuan Hall.
When I woke up early in the morning, the princesses and princesses came to congratulate Daiyu on her thirty-five years old...

As soon as this said, he poked the hornet's nest. Except for Qinglan, all the concubines criticized him, making his mind buzzing.

Daiyu said dissatisfied.
Jia Qiang was even more dissatisfied: Can't I just find a little Wangba and marry my daughter?What should I do if I am entrusted to someone?

Daiyu was furious and looked at Jia Qiang angrily and said: How?
Jia Qiang hummed and said: Although An Zhi is not bad, he wants to be my son-in-law and son-in-law... he wants to be my son-in-law and be blind!
Yan Sanniang smiled and said: That's a bad thing, but Pity Changle will be really hard to get out of business in the future.Anzhi is also the one we grew up watching. In terms of character, appearance, and talent, they are all like sisters, and are the best in the world.Even he can't catch the emperor's eyes. How many people in the world can do it?
Feng Jie'er looked at Jia Qiang strangely and asked: Master, if there is a young man who is almost the same as the emperor, would he be worthy of Changle?
Everyone looked over. After Jia Qiang thought seriously for a while, he finally shook his head slowly, frowned and spit out three words: No way!
The concubines laughed like a ball and didn't mention it. Daiyu also burst out laughing, looked at him with a wide eyelid, and said: Sister Ziyu is really right just now. It's a pity that only one girl was left behind. Otherwise, the emperor would be worried about his son-in-law!

Baochai and others looked at Li Jing with a sneer not far away, and they almost burst into laughter.
Fortunately, the palace servant outside reported to him: His Highness the Crown Prince and his uncle Lin Anzhi arrived.
Now there is no need for Jia Qiang and Daiyu to coax it. Li Qinglan got up and took a wisp of the embroidered handkerchief at will. Her face became smooth and she stood beside Daiyu as if nothing had happened.

But she knew that her son had a particularly difficult life.
The prince in the past always had some hope to surpass his father.
Jia Qiang's great achievements are the resurrection of Qin Emperor and Han Wu, how can we surpass it?
Therefore, she understood Li Luan's pain and felt even more sorry for his inferiority and endless pressure.
Unexpectedly, Li Luan could pick up confidence today...
Daiyu took the embroidered handwritten handed by Zijuan, wiped the corner of her eyes, and looked at Jia Qiang who was happy again, with a soft look as sweet as honey, and then turned around and called Li Luan, saying: This is the best birthday gift that the mother has received, and the emperor is intent.
Li Luan was also very happy, especially when she saw that Jia Qiang was no longer vicious, she stood up happily.
Lin Anzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said: Sister, this birthday gift is not only for the sixteenth, but also for mine!Look, look, the black and gray on my hand is still there!
Seeing this, Daiyu held back and said with a smile: What is this place? You are making trouble here? Go! Go! Go!
etc.
Jia Qiang called out to Lin Anzhi who had been confused and said with a smile: Anzhi, I remember that when you performed the 16th ceremony, I gave you some Delin lords. Although not many, it is enough for you to be a wealthy family for a lifetime.Your elder sister has given birth, so you want to be so vague?
Lin Anzhi burst into tears when he heard this. Why didn’t your son see you just now?
However, under the eaves, people dared not look up to argue and smiled: Emperor, I personally think that the treasures and treasures of gold and silver in the world are all ordinary things, and they are really not worthy of the peerless virtues that the Empress, even the Queen Mother, could not meet even the Queen Mother!Seeing that Jia Qiang's eyes became increasingly unkind, he said hurriedly and truthfully: As for my little bit of furniture, I was going to keep it when I went overseas to open Xinjiang in the future. Cough cough, I can't bear to move.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone except Jia Qiang and Daiyu were surprised.
The Lin family has only this only son, and Daiyu has only this younger brother, so she still has to go out to sea?!
Everyone looked at Jia Qiang, but Jia Qiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: Forget it, let’s spare you this time, let’s go.
Lin Anzhi passed by happily, walked to Li Luan and stood still, instead of blinking his eyes.
However, Li Luan's face was not very good. She seemed to have not seen him, and stood there with her eyes down.
He hopes that this extremely smart uncle can stay and help him...
Soon after, Li Zheng led dozens of hands and feet to come here, kneeling in a large hall, and various birthday greetings were flying.
There are also various rare treasures as birthday gifts, making the hall brilliant and brilliant.
Li Zhuan, where is your brother?Why didn't you see him come?
At this moment, Baochai looked at the youngest son who was grinning in the prince with a faint expression and asked.
Hearing this, the princes suddenly burst into laughter.
This made Baochai, who had always been strong, look bad. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the group of fools who were also the ones she had watched as growing up as a child.
Not to mention, Li Zheng, Li Liu, Li Shu and others were really afraid when they saw her face sinking. Li Zheng hurriedly bowed and said: Mother De, please calm down. My son and others are not brave enough to laugh at the mother's words, but... Mother and others are waiting for a moment. The eighth brother is really a wonderful person. He has prepared a very special birthday gift for his mother, but my son and others are definitely not there.
After hearing this, Baochai's expression improved a little and said to Daiyu: This bastard has never been a day since I asked me to worry about it.
Daiyu smiled and said: You are not wronged. Xiao Ba beats Xiao Lingli. He started to share his father's worries just thirteen. It's not as unbearable as you said. Let me see, what has he prepared again!
As he was talking, he saw Mu Di, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, enter with a strange expression on his face.
After returning from Malacca back then, Mu Di transferred from Yin Hou to Yin Ziyu to listen to him, loyal.
Because Daiyu didn't like eunuchs very much, she had many concubines around Zhaorong Cai, so she asked Mu Di to take over as an eunuch in the six palaces.
For example, during the major events of the New Year, Mu Di will come to take charge of it.
After entering the room, Mu Di bowed and said, "Report to the Emperor, the Empress, the Eighth Prince... the Eighth Prince requested an audience."
Jia Qiang said nothing, Daiyu held back and said with a smile: Let’s go.
The princes began to feel uncontrollably happy again. Seeing that they were so excited, the imperial concubines didn't understand much, so they all missed them.
until……
They saw the eighth prince Li Jing, holding a pretty girl in his own hands and joining in...
……
Baochai, who had just sipped a sip of tea, saw this beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and almost lost her composure in horror.
It's simply...unreasonable!!
Although it is not the past now, it is no longer embarrassing for a girl to show up in public, but... there is no reason to show up with a man!
Did this inexplicable girl fall from the sky?
Although Baochai and Jia Qiang have not experienced matchmakers, at most her brother is talking about asking for the orphans all day long, she never hopes that her son will come like this.
Although Jia Qiang spoke before, there is no need to get married blindly.
However, if you don’t get married blindly, it doesn’t mean you will be taken home directly!
Looking at the girl again, she was so nervous that she was trembling. This was what she should be.
What's not supposed to be that she could still hold on and move forward with the smiling Li Jing...
Is this what a serious lady should do?
Looking at the simple clothes, my clenched hands didn't look like the hands of a lady who was reading and writing to make a girl...
Baochai became more and more shocked and angry!
Li Jing, how crazy!
Hehe, father, mother, son and daughter, together with Chu Niang, wish her mother Song Lao to grow old, and she will be three thousand years old!
The brothers were not worried about the big deal when they watched the fun, and they applauded.
The eyes of the concubines and others were always on the girl named Chu Niang. Daiyu looked at Li Jing and saw Li Jing nodding slightly, she knew that this woman must have a clean family background.
Looking at Jia Qiang again, he actually saw Jia Qiang smiling. His expression could not be hidden from her in her eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied.
Daiyu was even more surprised. His Highness, a girl, could tell at first glance that she was not a daughter of a high school, or even... she might not be the daughter of a gentleman.
Jia Qiang had previously issued an order for the princes to marry the daughter of a famous family. How could he be...
However, although she was surprised, she still smiled and said with a smile: Eighth Prince, you are giving your mother a great surprise today.If you don’t talk about it yet, what’s going on?
In front of the most noble people in the hall, Li Jing held hands with a smile on his face, and said: Mother, speaking of it, Chu Niang is still a disciple of his father...
Daiyu and others were all stunned, but Jia Qiang laughed silently, but didn't say anything.
When Daiyu saw it, she became more and more surprised and asked: Oh?How do you say this?Why don’t this palace know that your father and his female disciples have?
Baochai said in a faint voice: Li Jing, today is the Qianqiu Festival for your mother, not the time for you to make trouble.
Li Jing's face stagnated, but seeing that Jia Qiang was not angry, he felt relieved again and said with a smile: Mom, my son is not a mess.
Hearing this, Chu Niang's snow-white face beside him relieved a little...
Baochai wanted to say something, but when Jia Qiang looked at her, she finally took care of the moment and did not speak again.
Li Feng was so clever. Seeing this, he felt at ease and said with a smile: Chu Niang lives in Nancheng, and only one grandmother is alive at home, and there is a young brother below.On weekdays, she makes a living by selling barbecue, and is famous for barbecue Xishi in Nancheng.Although she can't even say anything she's fooling around now, four years ago, I occasionally passed by her shop and smelled the smell of meat and went in. But after a few sneers, I asked her to chase her halfway through the street with an iron chisel...
Chu Niang couldn't help but defend herself: I saw that he was young and didn't study well, so I...
Before he finished speaking, he saw the nobles like gods looking at him, and could not continue to speak anymore, and his whole body was stiff.
Li Jing looked at Jia Qiang and laughed: Father, you told me before that I would not ask me to marry blindly, but rather that I would rather see my ministers happy. When I heard those words, my ministers’ hearts would rise.Father, it is the happiest thing in your life that your son can be your son.I also ask my father to help me, my son’s marriage with Chu Niang!
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Jia Qiang laughed and was about to speak, but Baochai said coldly: Why are you anxious? Today is the day of your mother's great joy. What are you going to have? Furthermore, there is an old lady in the woman's family, how could you children take the initiative?
Upon hearing this, Li Jing's smile immediately froze on Maitreya-like smile, which was already a face-to-face rejection...
He doesn't care, but Chu Niang...
Although Li Jing felt extremely distressed, he had no other choice. He could only look at Jia Qiang with a glance and said: Father, mother, concubine, grandmother Chu Niang is now lying on the bedside. Chu Niang takes care of all the big and small things at home. The old lady has been unable to take charge of the affairs for a long time...
Jia Qiang said lightly: Well, he is a good boy who keeps improving himself.However, marrying my prince is a great blessing and a great misfortune.What you have to face is much more complicated and difficult than running a small shop and managing a poor family of three.For example, your mother-in-law doesn't like you, and her sisters-in-law are all nobler than you, and even the concubines of Xiaoba will be of higher origin than you.Can you bear this?
Upon hearing this, Chu Niang raised her face. The color was pretty good, but it was not that stunning. Many people missed her, what did Li Jing like to like her...
However, they soon knew.
Chu Niang looked up at Jia Qiang, her eyes as if she saw a saint, her hands folded in front of her, and looked at Jia Qiang and asked: The saint is the best, but the people don’t understand these things, so she can only ask the saint, what should you do?
hiss!
Many people gasp in their hearts. Just by this sentence, they have to praise them for being so brave and intelligent!
Jia Qiang also raised his eyebrows and laughed: If it were me... in my eyes, his status is actually no different. It wasn't that I was the supreme at this time that I said so, when I was in a downturn, I was not as good as you, and I could only make a living by barbecue. What about the queen, the granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion, and the beloved daughter of Tanhualang, a clan of the fourth generation of marquises. How precious is it? But I have never been afraid of it. Can you do it?
Upon hearing this, Chu Niang pursed the corners of her lips and nodded slowly, responding: Yes!The emperor, the common woman is not a person who is greedy for wealth and honor. It was not until just now that she knew Xiaopang... that she knew her identity.Early in the morning, he went to my house and told me that his mother had given birth. She wanted to see me and asked me if I dare to celebrate my birthday.The young lady said no, and he said that I despise the poor and love the rich, and that he was born in a lowly state.Although the girl knew that he was deliberately provoking me, she still gave up her skin and came with him because he was a fat man...
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They looked at Li Jing next to them and were looking at Chu Niang foolishly. Everyone was amused when they saw it.
When the brothers gathered together in the Japanese, this man always said that he had read three thousand Japanese girls and challenged countless Silla maids. As for Annan girls, Siamese girls, and Western Japanese girls, he also had many dabbles.
It is so convincing that people are skeptical...
Unexpectedly, it turns out to be a love species!
It really makes people laugh!
However, it is also a bit touching.
Following a concubine's son home to celebrate his birthday is ready to be humiliated...
Only Baochai almost burst into blood in her heart.
Out of poverty...
This evil son!!
Seeing Jia Qiang and her nodding slightly, Daiyu took off a Ruyi Double-Happy Jade Phoenix Golden Bracelet from her wrist, handed it to Qinglan on the side, and said: When Xiao Ba was rarely in a positive shape, the emperor and I could see that he was really moved.Since this is the case, parents can only wish you blessings.There are so many things to do today, and I will stay in the palace to talk about it in detail in the evening.
Qinglan smiled and put the gold bracelet on Chu Niang's hand, and said with a smile: I am your elder sister-in-law!
Jia Qiang was in a good mood. She was not only happy for Li Jing to find the person she liked, but also for... this point was really wonderful.
It just blocked the rumors that the Tian family weakened the aristocratic family through the prince's proposal...
Although he was not afraid of anything, if there was evidence that he could fight back the rumors on the surface, there would be no reason to refuse the rest.
Moreover, he, the eight son, is indeed extremely smart!
I found an excellent point to facilitate this matter. In this way, he, the emperor, was embarrassed to take away his responsibilities as the Minister of the Interior...
For other princes, a powerful wife is a good thing, but for Li Jing, who has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several years, a powerful wife is not necessary.
Even the weaker ones are better than the strong ones!
After suffering a big loss, this son became more and more diligent...
However, looking at Baochai's expression on the side, you know that she is afraid that she will be extremely unhelpful at this moment, but she is not in a hurry, and Li Jing will explain it herself.
After Liu Daniu and Shi Lei also entered the palace and celebrated their birthday with Daiyu, Jia Qiang led Prince Li Luan, Lin Anzhi and Xiao Shitou to the Qinzheng Hall together.
In a while, the wives and officials of the Wuxun were ordered to enter the palace to congratulate the queen for a long time.
But today there are obviously other highlights. The princes who stayed behind will ask the queen to give her marriage and marry daughters from each family.
Except for Baochai, the other imperial concubines were also full of joy today and were very happy...
Li Jing, who was originally sitting on pins and needles, saw that Chu Niang, who was incompatible with the noble atmosphere around him, felt a little uncomfortable, so he smiled and said to Daiyu: Mother, my son-in-law will take Chu Niang to go for a walk first...
Before Daiyu could speak, she heard Baochai say with a faint face: No.
As soon as she spoke like this, Daiyu couldn't let her go.
I can't offend Baochai for a wife who has not yet passed away...
Fortunately, at this time, Mu Di came to pass the imperial edict: The emperor issued an edict: He took the eighth son Li Feng and took Chu Niang with him.
Li Jing's tears were almost over. After all, it was his father Gao Yi. After a quick greeting, he hurriedly left with Chu Niang, who was dizzy and stiff in his head...
Looking at Baochai who was about to be angry, Daiyu couldn't help laughing out loud and said angrily: Just put away this look quickly. Can his father still harm him?There are some things you don’t know, just turn around and ask clearly.
Baochai breathed slowly...
