Sister takes space and bravely enters the world of cultivation

When the two of them were on the carriage back home, Mrs. Ma could finally ask her daughter. She had been holding back for so long, which made her very tormented.

"Qing'er, what do you think? Mom is feeling uneasy and panicked. I wonder what your father means when he finds out? Alas!"

"Mom, don't worry. In fact, the prince is quite a nice person," and then told Mrs. Ma what happened before.

"But... that's the harem, and it's not a place for your simple temperament," Mrs. Ma was still worried.

"Mom, you said that there are so many noble girls, but the queen chose our family. It shows that the queen made the decision after weighing the left and right, and after careful consideration. Besides, the queen asked our opinions in advance before proposing the marriage, instead of issuing a decree early in the morning. marriage,

It shows that the queen values ​​her daughter and our family very much. Mother, don’t worry. Let’s discuss it with father and brother when we get home." Ma Ruoqing gave her mother a very convincing analysis. At least Mrs. Ma is not so scared now.

The two returned to the house and couldn't wait to tell General Ma and Ma Shaoyun what happened when they entered the palace. After hearing this, the two father and son couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

"Sister, just get married and your brother will support you. Don't worry about anything else. If someone bullies you in the future, just fight back." Ma Shaoyun truly loves this sister.

"Brother..." Ma Ruoqing felt embarrassed by her brother's words. At the same time, she felt his love and care for her, and her face turned red. "I listen to my brother."

Old General Ma also said to his wife with a smile, "Madam, just find the best nanny for Qing'er and teach us Qing'er to become a qualified princess. Don't worry about the rest, you know?"

Mrs. Ma felt relieved when she saw that both father and son had no objection to Qing'er marrying into the East Palace and were happy to see it come to fruition. She must be successful and dependable.

"Don't worry! Master, I will find the best nanny to teach Qing'er how to survive in the palace and etiquette."

Prime Minister Liu returned home from the imperial court. As soon as he entered the house, he was invited to the 'Yuchun Garden' by Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was dressed beautifully and said with a smile, "Master. Thank you for your hard work. I made your favorite food." Can I have a drink with you today, please?"

Liu Cheng was very pleased to see Aunt Zhang's gentleness, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "Okay, Cuilian, I will drink two cups with you today."

Having said that, Aunt Zhang helped Prime Minister Liu sit down at the dining table that had been prepared. Aunt Zhang first poured a glass of wine for Prime Minister Liu. The wine was fragrant, the pleasant words came out as if they were free, and it was just right so as not to be annoying. , this sense of propriety was firmly grasped by Aunt Zhang, and Prime Minister Liu was a little carried away. Halfway through eating, Aunt Zhang took out the banknotes in his arms.

"Master, these are my earnings in the past two months. I left one thousand taels behind, and the rest are all here.

My concubine and the second lady have room and board in the house. It doesn't cost a lot of money, and the master and his wife take good care of me and the second young lady. There is no shortage of food and clothing. It is useless to have so much money around. I also want to do something for the house. These banknotes are all Give it to the master, I know that as long as the master is well, our house will be well." These words were so sincere that Prime Minister Liu was deeply moved.

"The truth is that Cuilian is a good person." He took the banknote and glanced at it and put it into his arms. "The truth is that Cuilian is doing it for me and for the good of the house. The truth is that Cuilian will live up to her wholeheartedness. Come on, Let's have a drink and spend the night with Cuilian."

Seeing that Prime Minister Liu was in a good mood, Aunt Zhang lowered her eyes and gave Prime Minister Liu a chopstick of vegetables. "Master, eat vegetables. This is your favorite tenderloin."

"Okay, okay, Cuilian will eat too." After saying that, he took a chopstick of fish and gave it to Aunt Zhang.

"Sir, the second young lady will have haircuts in a few months, and she has reached the age to propose marriage. I wonder if I have any good candidates for you. Although my wife has to worry about the marriage of these children, I, as the mother-in-law, also want to help Lingling. Staff officer, sir, do you think so?"

"Oh? Are you getting haircut? We, Lingling, have all grown up. We must take a good look at the young talents in this imperial capital. I, the young lady of the Prime Minister's Palace, cannot be careless."

Aunt Zhang was overjoyed when she heard what he said, "Master, I heard that the Queen is choosing a concubine for the Crown Prince. Today she also summoned the lady from General Ma's Mansion to the palace. I heard that she is the perfect match." Miss Ma’s family. Master, do you think it would be good for our Prime Minister’s Palace if Lingling could also enter the Prince’s Mansion?”

When Prime Minister Liu heard this, he hesitated, "Prince's Palace? I'm afraid she, a concubine, won't be able to be the main concubine. Ya'er has a chance to be the main concubine, and Lingling is a concubine."

"The position of side concubine is also feasible. Even if it is a side concubine, given the master's status, she will still be a noble concubine in the future. Besides, with the master helping in the court, we Lingling may not be able to take the position of the main concubine.

Sir, you think that the Ma family is involved with Prince Zhan's palace, and the emperor will not let the daughter of the Ma family become the crown prince," Aunt Zhang said firmly.

After listening to Aunt Zhang's words, Prime Minister Liu immediately thought of the current attitude towards the King of War, and felt that it was very good for Lingling to enter the Prince's Mansion.

"Well, tomorrow I will go to the truth to find out what the prince has said. If the prince is also interested, we can make further arguments."

Aunt Zhang was very happy to see that her goal was achieved, and she worked even harder to serve Prime Minister Liu.

The next day, Aunt Zhang and her daughter were waiting eagerly in the mansion for Prime Minister Liu to bring good news.

But before Prime Minister Liu returned home, he heard from his servants that the eunuch in the palace had gone to General Ma's mansion to hand over the imperial decree to the Ma family's daughter Ruoqing in marriage to the prince. It was also said that it was the queen and the prince herself. Go to Emperor Sheng Yuan to ask for the marriage decree.

This thunderbolt struck from the blue. Not only did Liu Xiuling smash a lot of porcelain in anger, but even the people in the imperial capital began to boil.

In fact, when the prince and the queen went to the royal study to request a marriage, Emperor Shengyuan initially disagreed with the prince marrying the Ma family girl. They all knew the reason. It was the prince who said to Emperor Shengyuan,

"Father, it would be beneficial for a daughter from a member of the Wanqi Army to marry into our royal family. I heard that the Wanqi Army also formed a new army called the Iron Armored Army. Although it is only a few tens of thousands of people, it is not enough.

But after all, they are the soldiers of the God of War. The King of War's ability is obvious to all. Is there any guarantee that Wanqi Army will not become stronger one day? It is a rare opportunity to win General Ma to the royal side early. "

The queen next to her also said that the young lady from the Ma family had outstanding appearance, was dignified and elegant, and was a perfect match for the prince.

Emperor Shengyuan listened to what the two said and carefully thought about the stakes. Well, the Ma family was always outnumbered by Wan Qiyuan. If...

This was a good idea. Before, I subconsciously rejected everything related to Wan Qiyuan and him. Now after listening to the prince's words, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that what the prince said was right, so I immediately gave the prince a marriage edict.

The prince and the queen left the imperial study, looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Majesty, go prepare the betrothal gift and be careful."

"Yes, Queen Mother"

The queen straightened her back, sat upright on the gorgeous queen's exclusive chariot, and said, "Go back to the palace."

"Get off," as the eunuch chanted, the group returned to Feng Ling Palace in a mighty manner.

The prince left in a hurry, and Prime Minister Liu saw the prince from afar.

"Prince..." he shouted hurriedly. Before he could reach the prince, he was nowhere to be seen. Prime Minister Liu was unwilling to give in and went straight to the East Palace.

Panting, he chased him to the gate of the East Palace. Prime Minister Liu stepped forward to ask the eunuch at the gate to pass the news. The answer he received was that the prince had to prepare the betrothal gift in person today so that he could go to the general's mansion to hire him. He was very busy and did not have time to see Prime Minister Liu, so he asked him to come visit him next time.

Prime Minister Liu learned that the prince was going to personally prepare the betrothal gift. This was not good news! Knowing that he would not be able to see the prince today, he frowned and returned home thoughtfully.

The major court officials in the imperial capital were also surprised by the selection of the crown princess. No one expected that she would be a young lady from a third-grade general's family.

That is the Crown Princess. The future Queen must be a first-class official or a young lady from a noble family! How much this hurts the ladies!

The ministers couldn't figure out the reason, so they could only ignore the changes.

But this did not include the Minister of War, Zhang Chenggang. He always felt that this matter was so strange that he must have missed something, so as soon as Zhang Shangshu returned to the house, he called his staff Yu Hui into the study.
