Chapter 421: Has the marriage been arranged?
Chapter 421: Has the marriage been arranged?
One of these two people is the Empress and the other is the Imperial Concubine, and both of them have princes. They have been fighting openly and secretly for years.
Now they have sent people to invite people at the same time. No matter which side you agree to go to first, you will undoubtedly offend the other side.
If that's the case, it would be better for no one to go and let them fight among themselves.
"Let them wait outside. I haven't kissed my family enough yet..."
Concubine Jing waved her hand and gave a seemingly casual instruction. After sending the little palace maid away, she became serious.
"This child has already had her coming-of-age ceremony. Does she have a good marriage plan?"
Since they were all family, she didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Your Majesty also knows that we just came from the countryside and are not very familiar with the capital. How can we expect any promising marriage?"
Cui shook her head. When it came to her daughter's marriage, she also felt a headache.
This girl is different from ordinary girls. She can't be married off casually.
She and Xu Qinghe did have someone they liked, but that person's identity was not suitable, so there was no need to mention it.
"We are all elders here, so you don't have to be shy. If you see anything good, you can just tell me."
Concubine Jing waved to Yuxiu and asked her to sit next to her.
"Although I haven't chosen a good one, my master said that he has found a marriage for me and will send someone to propose marriage to me after I reach the age of 15..."
Yuxiu walked over obediently. This was her lifelong event, so she dared not be vague and quickly told him the solution she had thought of in advance.
Several women, including Concubine Jing, had heard that Yuxiu had a very powerful master.
When I heard that someone had made arrangements, I didn't feel anything strange and nodded as a matter of course.
In this era, people believe that a teacher is a father for life, so it is normal for a master to arrange a marriage for his apprentice.
"Since your master has made arrangements, then we should try to finalize them as soon as possible to avoid any more complications."
Concubine Jing gently patted Yuxiu's small hand and said meaningfully.
"Your two uncles are at the peak of their careers right now. As long as your marriage is not finalized, many things could happen."
Yuxiu was still a little girl, and Concubine Jing was embarrassed to explain it too clearly.
But if she really didn't make it clear, she was afraid that this family would be completely unprepared and be tricked again.
Those people have many tricks up their sleeves. She has lived in this harem for many years, and she has to deal with them carefully every time to barely keep herself out of it.
In Concubine Jing's heart, although her little niece Yuxiu has some abilities, she is, after all, just a young girl who has not experienced much of the world.
If those people wanted to use tricks to scheme against her, they probably wouldn't have to put in much effort.
It's not that she looks down on her little niece, it's just that the other party's methods are too cunning and despicable, and a decent person can't imagine how deep the water is.
By then, not to mention that the master has chosen the marriage but it has not been finalized, even if it has been finalized, as long as the marriage has not taken place, there will still be opportunities for calculation.
"Then wait until my master comes over next time and I will ask him about this matter."
Yuxiu pretended to be very embarrassed and lowered her head. The women all smiled knowingly and changed the subject.
Although Yuxiu appears to be very calm now, she is actually very anxious.
Not to mention the marriage that her master favored, even this so-called master was something she made up at the time.
Now, once a lie is told, you have to tell countless lies to defend it.
But the master can be elusive, but this marriage cannot be.
Yuxiu was conflicted for a while and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
If it really didn't work, she might as well take some time to go to another place to find a human trafficker to buy a handsome boy and let him impersonate her.
Anyway, I have no plans to get married in this life, and having someone like this to protect me from the outside can also avoid unnecessary rumors and calculations.
What a great idea! Yuxiu couldn’t help but feel a little proud.
As expected, my brain works very quickly. Isn't this a win-win situation?
As for whether that person was willing or not, that was not within her consideration.
I've already said that we're going to buy someone, so there's no room for him to choose whether he's willing or not.
Besides, even though we are not a real couple, he will definitely have the best food and drink. For him to have such a good life, shouldn't he be grateful to me?
Just as Yuxiu made up her mind, she heard the eunuch's report from outside that the emperor was coming with Prince Ning and Xu Qinghe.
The emperor had never mentioned before that he would bring them here, and I thought I would not be able to see my brothers today.
Concubine Jing was extremely surprised and stood up quickly immediately. However, she was too excited and staggered twice, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, Yuxiu was right beside her and quickly reached out to support her. Then everyone went to the door to welcome the emperor.
As soon as the group reached the door, the emperor and his men walked in quickly.
After some politeness, everyone returned to the hall and sat down to talk.
"This little girl has never been to the palace, has she? The flowers in the garden are in full bloom now, my dear, please have someone take her for a good stroll."
The emperor glanced at Yuxiu who was sitting properly and spoke to Concubine Jing next to him.
"Xiu Xiu, please come and thank His Majesty. The Imperial Garden is indeed very beautiful these days."
Since the emperor said so, it was obvious that he wanted to get rid of this little girl.
Of course Concubine Jing understood immediately. She quickly took Yuxiu to thank the emperor, then led her to the door and asked a few people she trusted most to take her to visit the garden.
"Eunuch Gui, you should come with us."
The emperor's faint voice of command came from the room, and an old eunuch who was waiting in the yard quickly stepped forward and responded. He walked to Yuxiu's side with a smile and bowed to her.
Eunuch Gui is now the most popular person around the emperor. Not to mention the people below him, even the masters in the palace have to treat him with a better face.
The emperor allowed him to accompany a little girl like Yuxiu to visit the garden, which seemed to be a great honor for Prince Ning's Mansion and Concubine Jing.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Jing was completely relieved. She immediately gave Yuxiu a reassuring look and turned back into the hall.
"Don't worry, young lady. These people have been sent away and will not come to bother you casually."
As expected of the most capable man around the emperor, when they walked out of the yard, Yuxiu just looked around suspiciously, and he explained with a smile.
