Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 68
Rong Qinlan was anxious: "I don't want to marry that nerd of my eldest cousin. My mother is partial. They sent the eldest sister to the palace to become a concubine, but they want to give my family to a young man from a merchant family."

Her maternal grandfather's family was a merchant's family. Although it was said that the family had a great business, it could not be compared with the powerful people of this family and would always be inferior to them.

Her mother was often teased by this wealthy lady because she was born into a merchant family.It wasn't until her father earned her a life that she raised her head among these wealthy ladies.

Although my uncle wanted to change the family background and let my eldest cousin study and take the scientific examination, my eldest cousin also became a scholar.But her eldest cousin is a dull person, he only studies books, he is a nerd, and his appearance is very ordinary.Only people from her maternal grandfather's family and her mother thought that her eldest cousin was a promising person.

When Rong Qi heard his sister talking like this, he immediately frowned: "You can't talk like this. Mingxiu has also passed the scholar examination. It will only be a matter of time before he passes the examination and becomes a Jinshi. Mother asked you to marry Mingxiu. It's completely unreasonable. For your own good."

"Think about it..." Rong Qi analyzed it for his sister. "Grandpa's family are all our relatives. When you marry, our two families will become closer to each other. Your uncle and aunt have loved you since you were a child, and they are honest and honest people. If you marry, they will naturally treat you well. , I won’t let you suffer any injustice.”

"My mother has arranged this marriage for you precisely because she loves you and knows that you were raised by her. She doesn't want you to be punished by your mother-in-law after you get married." Mother also has good intentions!

Rong Qinlan looked at her mother who was having a lively chat with Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in front of her, and snorted coldly: "She does have good intentions. But it's just to promote her natal family and tie her natal family closely to our Rong family. Good intentions together.”

In order to promote her mother's family, she, the noble daughter of the Household Secretary and the direct sister of Lan Bin, was married off to a scholar from a merchant family. Only her mother could do such a thing.She is not doing it for her daughter's benefit at all, but for the benefit of her parents' family.

"Lan'er..." Rong Qi's face became serious.How could she say that about her mother?
Rong Qinlan felt very aggrieved and said with red eyes: "Anyway, I will never marry my eldest cousin."

With her status, she should have married a prince and grandson with outstanding talents. If she really married her eldest cousin, the noble ladies who usually play with her would laugh at her to death.

"..." Rong Qi opened his mouth and quickly closed it again.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later!Saying it here will only make people laugh if others hear it.

Rong Qinlan looked at the handsome man sitting under the glazed lamp with faint eyes. Her heart beat a few minutes faster and jumped to him.

King Jue came alone today, and she had not heard anyone talk about Princess Jue. It seemed that he had not married the main concubine yet.Later, she would go find her sister and ask her sister to talk to the emperor and grant her a marriage to His Highness King Jue.

My sister said that the emperor loved her very much. Although he could not accompany her often due to busy state affairs, he rewarded her with many good things.Every time I went to her palace, I treated her very gently.

Every time she heard her sister talk about the emperor's kindness to her, she felt envious and wanted to have a handsome and noble husband.His Royal Highness, King Jue, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Although His Highness the Ninth Prince has not yet married a concubine, the concubine in this mansion has even given birth to a child for him, and this His Highness the Ninth Prince is delicious and is as fat as two Jue Wangs.

Then, King Pluto, King Yu and the Ninth Prince Feng Chenghong also came. When they entered the palace, everyone except King Jue stood up and saluted them.

After almost all the tables in the palace were occupied, the eunuch was heard singing loudly: "The Queen Mother has arrived, the Emperor has arrived." Everyone in the palace stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, or knelt down in their positions to salute.They all said loudly in unison: "Welcoming ministers/concubines pay homage to the emperor and the empress dowager. I wish the empress dowager good health and long life."

The Queen Mother stood on top, looking down at the courtiers and royal relatives below. She didn't see her precious son, the Night King. She frowned slightly and raised her hand with a smile: "Everyone, get up!"

It’s already this time, why haven’t Ye’er and Princess Ye arrived yet?Didn’t Princess Ye enter the palace long ago?We even watched a play with her in the afternoon!
"Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up, lowered their heads and returned to their seats.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor also took their seats. The gold-edged table was placed on the platform on the steps. The two tables were separated by a hand-width gap, and there was no distinction between them.

After the Queen Mother and the Emperor sat down, the concubines also walked in from the side door of the inner hall and sat at the tables placed on either side of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, one table for two.Jiang Shuyi was not only alone, but also sat in the corner, where she could only see the back of the emperor's head.

"King of the Night, Princess of the Night is here." The eunuch standing at the door sang loudly.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, her night had come.

The expressions of the people in the palace were different. King Yu and King Pluto both had sarcastic expressions on their faces. They, the Sixth Emperor Brother, really like to be in the limelight as always!He had obviously entered the palace early in the morning, but he had to wait until everyone had arrived, so he was late.

King Chang'an glanced at his nephew who walked into the palace with his princess, and then looked at the emperor sitting above him, lowering his eyelids to block the calculation in his eyes.

Feng Chenghan wore a blue brocade dress with gold thread trimming, a gold crown on his head, and a ruby-encrusted belt around his waist. He walked into the palace with a smile on his face.

Qin Xueyao, wearing a light blue gauze palace dress, lowered her head and walked side by side with him.Originally, she entered the palace in the afternoon. After entering the palace, she stayed with her mother and even watched the play with the Queen Mother all afternoon.After the Night King entered the palace, he found her and asked her to enter the palace with him.

She was the Night Princess now, so she should enter the palace with him, so she didn't feel anything wrong.But when the time came, everyone entered the palace, and the Night King took her to drink tea in the pavilion.She urged several times, but he said there was no rush.Hearing the eunuchs singing that the emperor and the queen mother had arrived, he left the pavilion and came to the music hall.

He was clearly doing this to gain a sense of presence, to let everyone know how unique he, Fengcheng Ye was, and to highlight his identity and status.

"My brother/concubine pays homage to the Emperor, and pays homage to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother eternal beauty and long life." The two of them knelt down and worshiped together.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother quickly said: "Get up quickly, get up quickly."

The two stood up, and Pluto said with a smile: "How come the Sixth Emperor is late for the Queen Mother's birthday party? You will have to punish yourself with three drinks later."

Doesn't being late mean that you don't pay attention to it and don't take it to heart?
