The boss of the end of the world wears a red building, if you don't agree, just hold it

The Emperor knew very well what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

However, he would never let Xuan Zheng marry the daughter of Zhuge family. That family is so arrogant now because of the queen mother. If they marry Xuan Zheng again, they will be so angry that their eyes will be on top of their heads.

Besides, Xuan Zheng has the girl from the Lin family in his heart. He heard that she is a girl with excellent appearance and good character. I am afraid that other people will not be in his eyes.

But girls in the boudoir rarely go out, and even if they do, they are surrounded by people, so the information they can get is really limited.

The emperor said calmly: "Xuan Zheng is still young and his character is not yet determined. If we rashly let him marry, I am afraid it will delay the girl's marriage."

"Your Majesty is too worried. They are all adults, but they are still young." The Queen Mother laughed, "In this case, you should find someone who knows you well."

The emperor sneered in his heart. He knew his mother's ambitions were growing. "You are joking, mother. Given Xuan Zheng's personality, if there was a girl he liked among the girls he knew, he would have long asked me to grant him a marriage."

His meaning was very clear, but the Queen Mother played dumb. "The Emperor doesn't know this. At his age, the more he has someone in his heart, the less he dares to say it."

What she said sounded like a heavenly book. Xuan Zheng was brought up by the emperor, but he had no idea that Xuan Zheng was such a shy and timid person.

The emperor felt that if Xuan Zheng liked someone, he would use all means to get that person. I'm afraid the word "dare not" would not exist in his mind.

Like the girl from the Lin family, when Xuan Zheng heard that the imperial concubine wanted her and Jia Baoyu to get closer, he immediately frowned and said no.

His overbearing personality will never change.

However, the Emperor did not intend to tell the Empress Dowager about this. If she knew about it, she might interfere.

"Mother is also aware of Xuan Zheng's temper. We still need to get his approval on this matter. Otherwise, when he gets angry, who knows what he might do." The emperor's words reminded the empress dowager of something that happened a few years ago.

Xuan Zheng was still young at that time. He didn't know what the troublesome boy from her brother's family said to make him lose his temper. He directly threw the boy into the pool, and a hole was smashed into the ice surface.

It was a cold winter day, so cold that people couldn't even stretch out their hands. Xuan Zheng was so cruel that he forced the boy to soak in the pool for an unknown amount of time with a dagger. When she rushed over, she saw that her poor nephew had actually frozen to death.

Now her nephew is sick every other day, and it is all due to the illness he had at that time.

Every time her sister-in-law entered the palace, she would cry and wail about her poor son. The empress dowager could do nothing about Xuan Zheng and could only do her best to compensate her mother's family.

That was the first time the Queen Mother saw Xuan Zheng lose his temper. His eyes were bloodshot. He was clearly a child who had not grown up, but he looked terrifying.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment. She didn't want to see him again, so she could only say, "If Xuan Zheng is willing, no matter which girl she is, the Emperor cannot stop him."

The emperor already knew who Xuan Zheng liked. Hearing this, he did not hesitate and said directly: "If he asks, I will grant them marriage immediately without hesitation."

"You don't have any jokes?"

"You have no joke!"

The two smiled at each other, each with their own thoughts.

The Queen Mother felt much better after receiving this promise. Given the appearance and character of her niece's granddaughter, if Xuan Zheng was still not willing, what else did he want? Could he want to find a fairy?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Why hasn't Yunqing come here yet?

There was still a pile of unprocessed memorials in the imperial study. The emperor stood up to leave, but was stopped by the empress dowager, "I still have something to say. Why are you so impatient to listen to me?"

"What are you talking about, mother?" The emperor sat down helplessly. "There are still some memorials in the imperial study that I haven't read yet."

The Queen Mother said unhappily, "I will just say a few words. It won't take up much time."

"I heard that you have been favoring only one person recently, causing complaints in the harem." The Queen Mother disapproved, as if she was thinking about the emperor. "I am not saying anything, you are the emperor, you should treat everyone equally. How can you do what you want? It will hurt the hearts of everyone in the harem."

The emperor said, "I understand, my son. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw first."

When the Empress Dowager had not yet become the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had not yet become the Emperor, the mother and son had a very deep relationship and would often drink tea and talk about interesting things in their spare time.

But now it is no longer possible.

The Queen Mother sighed and asked, "Why hasn't Miss Yunqing come yet? Send someone to check and see if she was delayed on the way."

"Yes."

Zhuge Yunqing had often been going in and out of the palace since he was a child. Once he entered the palace, he did not need a eunuch to lead the way, but went to the empress dowager with two personal maids.

It’s just... my pace is a bit slow.

Hua Feng whispered, "Young lady, you'd better hurry up. The Queen Mother will get impatient and the Master will scold you again."

Hua Yu snorted coquettishly, "Scold her if you want. The master has been instigated by Aunt Sun and has scolded our girl countless times. It's just a few words that don't hurt her. What else can we do?"

"What are you talking about, you little bitch?" Hua Feng looked around cautiously. "Instead of trying to persuade the girls, you're fanning the flames here. I'll tell Madam Kong when I get back."

Hua Yu was most afraid of Madam Kong's mouth, and immediately begged for mercy, "Good sister, good sister, please don't tell Madam Kong, I don't want to get calluses on my ears."

Zhuge Yunqing got a headache from the noise from the two of them.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Hua Feng said seriously, "Miss, you said that the Queen Mother summoned you to the palace. Is it to chat for a while or does she have something to tell you?"

Zhuge Yunqing curled the corners of his lips, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

Chat?

Every time the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace, she had a purpose. Only her mother would naively think that the Queen Mother liked her and that was why she often summoned her to the palace to keep her company.

"You'll know when you get there. It's useless to overthink."

As soon as the Queen Mother saw Zhuge Yunqing, she put on her concerned look again, which made people feel uneasy. "Yunqing girl, come here quickly and let me take a look."

Zhuge Yunqing took a few steps forward in silence, allowing her to pull him and look him up and down.

"Girl Yunqing is really a beauty. Look at her little face. She is really pretty." The Queen Mother said to the dowry nanny with a smile, "Look, she didn't seem to be this tall when she entered the palace last time. Now she has become even more beautiful."

The dowry maid also smiled and said, "The eldest girl has been pretty since she was a child. Now that she has grown up, I think she has some of the charm of the young Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "You are the only one who can say nice things to please me."

Hua Feng and Hua Yu stood aside, with their heads down and not daring to look upwards, but they couldn't help but think a lot in their hearts.

What the girl hates most is when people say she looks like someone from the Zhuge family.

She had the charm of the empress dowager when she was young, which was considered a compliment by others, but not by her daughter.

The Queen Mother took Zhuge Yunqing aside and talked to her about some personal matters before getting to the point. "Yunqing has grown into a big girl now. It's time to find her a husband."

Zhuge Yunqing raised his head suddenly.

So this time, he just uses her lifelong event as a bargaining chip to consolidate his position and power?
