Chapter 218 What Kind of Man Does the Emperor Like?

Yun Feng Huang managed to pass the word out the next day, the third day in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion met Jiang.

"Mother, His Majesty intends to use Jiang's son as his master." Mother and daughter took a look at each other before clearing the air, and she spluttered, "Which cousin or cousins of Jiang's does Mother think would be suitable?"

"Jiang's son?" Jiang unexpectedly said, "Why would His Majesty think of Jiang's son? Besides, Her Highness is a golden branch, wouldn't she be a match for my small family in the North?!"

Yun Feng Huang did not move to say, "is not the mother empress dowager, about to see Ji's not work, would like to blackmail the Jinyun Princess descending Haixi Hou's first son, the results of the wind in the Palace are out, was forced by His Majesty to cane a number of courtiers, as if it had not happened His Majesty turned around and said to me, let me Inquiring about the young unmarried scholars who will be coming down in the coming year's Enke, I only agreed to it, but His Majesty turned around and asked about Jiang's son."

Jiang narrowed her eyes at her, "Then has His Majesty ever asked about my Xie's children?"

"Only asked when Xie's son will arrive at the Imperial Capital." Yun Feng Huang calmly said, "I see that His Majesty still prefers Jiang's son. Just I'm not even too sure this time cousin cousins also have come ... but I don't know within which cousin cousin cousin is so talented and moving, but impressed His Majesty in advance?"

"I see that his majesty didn't say anything, but you are the one who is suspicious, even my mother can't believe it, right or wrong?" Jiang looked at her with a smile, suddenly her face sank, "Tell the truth!"

"..." Yun Feng Huang pinched the group fan, depressed, "you said I grew up again disobedient you do not hit me!"

Jiang didn't have the good sense to say, "Then you swore before that you would listen and not be angry with me!"

Yun Feng Huang, "..."

Forget it. Ancestry speaks for itself. Neither mother nor daughter should laugh at anyone.

She cried, complained, "God knows what His Majesty is playing! However, he did ask me to keep an eye on the scholars who are going to the examination, so as to find the princesses' extra horse harnessed by the side of a team.... I am not thinking that the eleventh brother and they happen to be unmarried, and their talents and looks are outstanding, so maybe they can meet his majesty's eyes."

"But two days ago, His Majesty suddenly asked about Jiang's children and urged me to take a look at you, which ..."

"So you're worried that His Majesty intends to let Jiang's son Shangmaster, and then my own mother, who is also a Jiang's daughter, is afraid that I'll turn my arm outward and be happy to see my mother's family marrying with the Heavenly Family?" Jiang snorted coldly, "So you tested me first when you met me?"

Yun Feng Huang cheekily went up to hold her arm, kissed and said, "Mother you say this! Daughter is at least your hand taught out, not to say that the blue is better than blue it, there is so simple to come up to let you see the cracks? This is not not to be outgoing with you, so what is the meaning directly expressed?"

"For what you've done in the past few months, you're still green than blue." Jiang said in disgust, "It's good to not be angry at me!"

But in the end did not care about the daughter just words in the test, said, "we mother and son two private talk, not to pull those false indeed, Jiang's if the emperor's soninlaw, for my mother in the Xie's position must be as solid as a mountain, and even directly pull down your greataunt, so that your father over your eldest uncle to do the head of the family, it is not impossible!"

"On the contrary, once your eleventh brother and the others have won the favor of the Heavenly Family, they are bound to be gracious to their parents, and by that time, our house, on the contrary, will not be in such a good position in the clan as it is now."

"Yet if you count it that way, it's nothing more than a fly in the ointment within the Xie Clan, between one house and one branch."

"Putting it in the context of the former harem, but it doesn't seem too stupid."

"Although Jiang's treatment of our mother and child is not thin, but this is also mainly because for my mother and you, in the Xie's position is not low remember, sympathy, cultivation, guilt, gratitude, affection ... all these will breed respect and good treatment, and But they are also all momentary, hearts are fickle, and once they change, joy and hatred are all just a thought away!"

Jiang's face was expressionless, ''But in this world, but where your strength and ability is sufficient, then even people who have never met and have no relationship with each other will instinctively revere you and not dare to treat you lightly. Longlasting respect is never earned, not by the mercy of others or cultured to give. As my mother has repeatedly cautioned you in this manner, how can you be a fool yourself?"

"In today's world, it is recognized that marriage follows the husband. I was originally a daughter of the Jiang Clan, and when I married your father, I was a member of the Xie Clan. If I were to return to the Jiang Clan, I would be nothing more than a guest. If for my mother in order to consolidate the position in Xie's, in order to suppress your aunts, let you contribute to the Jiang's son Shang master, even though in recent years can rely on this favor, in the Xie's flaunt ... but what about the future? When my mother is gone, your brother and sisterinlaw son and nephew, including you, and can get Jiang's how much help?"

"But if the Lord is Xie's children, Xie's lintel shining, your brother and sisterinlaw son and nephew, it's hard to believe that they will not carry? After all, a single tree is difficult to support, harnessed by the side of a team again favored, is also the need for brothers and nephews to help support this matter, for my mother knows your worries, this moment to give you a word of accuracy you just do what you want, for my mother was not the eldest daughterinlaw, over the years to maintain the scene with your aunt them and the harmony, of course, is the use of the wrist to pressure them, in fact, it is also your aunt them understand the righteousness, always refused to make too much trouble. It's also your aunt's deep understanding of the righteousness of them, always refused to make too much of a fuss so that outsiders can watch."

She sighed here, touched her daughter's temples, "You are often at home with Qi Jiulu in a piece, although therefore the two people love good, but instead of seeing things clearly at home. A family's harmony, shortterm can also rely on the scheme wrist mediation over, longterm peace and quiet, that is certainly not a person two people's credit, but the vast majority of people are unspoken which!"

"For my mother knows that you for your a few cousins urge you to be separated from your sister, on the big room two room impression is not very good. But you have to know, the difference between the first and the concubine is the proper meaning. For my mother to your sister's treatment of the first daughter, that is also from the private room to subsidize the difference in the public, so the upper and lower only did not say anything publicly. Otherwise, do you think that this kind of thing would just be a small fight between your children who are jealous of each other?"

Moreover, "Although I raised your sister as my own daughter, it doesn't mean that I want other first mothers to do the same for one thing, I gave birth to your four older brothers at the time, and was already short of daughters, so your sister has become an opportunity for me to build a reputation of being a virtuous woman; and secondly, your sister's temperament is pleasing to the eye. With a different whiteeyed wolf, do you really think that I can't do the same to a child?"

It wasn't like Jiang hadn't learned about the tactics of the concubine's children before she left the cabinet.

It's just that Xie Feng Maid got her favorite and didn't want to use it.

"In short, you are Xie's daughter, you plan for Xie's natural, so no matter whether the thing is accomplished or not, spread out, Xie's only grateful to you, Jiang's also have nothing to say." Jiang's see her daughter pondering, sigh, patted the back of her hand, said in a serious tone, "If you are planning for other people, become other things not to mention, first offend Xie's. Once it fails, it's the same for both families! Once failed, that is the two families are not settled ... You are my daughter, I can still for their own a little bit of the fight of will, give up your future future?"

"... Actually, it's not just that." Yun Feng Huang pondered for a while and whispered, "I'm also worried that this is not a test from His Majesty?"

Jiang raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing inquiry.

"His Majesty bluntly disliked the Queen Mother Empress Dowager for the Jinyun Princess Your Highness chose extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, but also forced a gag order, the Princess and that Ji Minggan ..." cloud wind Huang whispered praying for this accident, "followed by asking me Xie's children," and then asked Jiang's children, and also urged me to meet with you. Two days ago and asked Jiang's children, but also urged me to meet with you. I thought, His Majesty is not trying to see me, whether I will act in accordance with their own interests, or speculate on the Holy Will, for His Majesty's consideration?"

Jiang kindly said, "This royal rule is also really ..."

Spinning around, he said, "What do you have to worry about this? For your own consideration, of course is to recommend my Xie's children; for his majesty's consideration, his majesty lifted up my children in the north, it is only to counterbalance the Dingbei army, then my Xie's connections in the north of the prestige, is not better than Jiang's? Moreover, the most respected in the Northlands over the years has been the Chi Clan, Chi Jiu Lu this Zong Zi have all clearly voted for the Regent's Palace!"

"Other than my Xie Clan, who can resist the Chi Clan?"

Jiang said rightfully, "Furthermore, our family was withdrawn from Chi's marriage back then, so if His Majesty intends to start with Chi in the future, he doesn't even need to find a reason!"

The voice and a low, "not to mention that because you and Chi Jiu Lu's marriage contract, the two families have good relations, Chi's what details, for my mother a long time to understand the seven or eight! Even if his majesty wants to throw his name it is not impossible."

As if on the way to the imperial capital and Qi Jiulu face to face with tears a "virtuous nephew" as if a full mother and son dispersed for many years and finally reunited to embrace the headache of the people who can not cry is not the same as her,....

Although I have long known the pro mother face set behind a set with skillful, cloud wind Huang or a little speechless, "Mother, he is at least you look at the grownups, even if not with me than, at least than the sister is only a little worse, right?"

Qi Jiulu was more obedient to Jiang than she was to her own mother, Chen.

On the one hand, it is to see the face of Yun Feng Huang; the second aspect is that Chen is far from Jiang's will coax the child ...

Yun Feng Huang feel that if they are Jiang's words, more than ten years of love down, or once the prospective soninlaw, she estimated that they can not do a turn around to calculate the value of people's lives and even the family's point of view.

But to Jiang, this is all a natural thing ''Back then, when your sister's affairs implicated your boudoir, do you think Qi didn't know you were aggrieved? But they still chose to withdraw from the marriage? Of course I'm not saying I resent them. But life is like this everyone must first think of themselves and their own family, and only then can they think of others. There are even some people who spend their lives thinking only about themselves and not about others."

"As you said, my mother has watched Chi Jiu Lu grow up with her own eyes, it's impossible to say that she doesn't like him."

"But until you and your brother, sisterinlaw, son and nephews have lived a steady and honorable life, other people's children, for my mother can't care about their deaths or lives!"

Without the slightest expression on her face, she calmly said, "After all, you are my children and grandchildren, I should care for you. Chi Jiu Lu is not!"

"..." Yun Feng Huang knew that he could not convince her, sighed in his heart, said, "just, but you should not be rashly on him. His Majesty is aware of my love affair with him, or I personally said. If our family goes after him now, what do you think His Majesty will think of us? As you said before, even if His Majesty has pretended to be gentle and forgiving for all these years, he must have gotten some real generosity in his heart. He won't like someone who crosses the river and is heartless."

"I'm happy that you're willing to consider what kind of person His Majesty likes." Jiang's eyes softened as she listened, and smiled, "For my mother, I've inquired about some news these days, and also thought it over, and in fact, you're not in a bad position today although it's a mistake, the way you don't disguise your true nature in front of His Majesty is actually a crooked one."

Waving her hand to stop her daughter want to say words, she whispered, "our this his majesty in Fuyang County has a reputation for good learning, although it is the Queen Mother Yuan deliberately, but for my mother managed to find out a few things are about the truth he only learns the word, the Queen Mother afraid that he is young and hurt his body, stipulated that even if you can't write well, a day at most to a certain number of writing to write no more. But he himself is not satisfied, at a young age, he would rather hide from the Empress Dowager quietly practicing ... later martial arts is almost the same. Until after the ascension of the throne, probably afraid of inviting the Ji taboo, which only convergence of many, bide their time."

"You say that he was born like that, even if he didn't understand when he was a child, and then he was awarded the title, he still doesn't know the honor of his own family, even if he doesn't work hard, he can still be welldressed for the rest of his life? Even if he is afraid that the commoner son is not stable enough to take the position, worrying about slacking off in the future, there is a mother like Empress Yuan, as long as he can do the appearance, the Empress Dowager can still not give him the publicity of the watertight?"

"And yet he continues to study hard, this heart, this perseverance ... What kind of person do you think he would like?"
