Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 98: Cooking raw rice into cooked rice

(triple)

"Yourong, pack up and get ready to get married."

In Shouning Palace, Queen Ma came here and looked at Princess Ningguo and said.

Hearing Queen Ma's words, Princess Ning Guo was stunned and looked surprised.

In fact, this matter was a bit too sudden.

Why did my mother suddenly want me to get married?

Although now, there are only three days left before the originally scheduled wedding day.

She's been thinking about this a lot lately.

But...but what my mother said to me now was too surprising and too sudden.

Originally, he had already despaired of this matter.

I feel that it is simply impossible to get married according to the originally planned wedding date.

But how could I have imagined that my mother would actually say such a thing now.

"This...Mother, this is a bit...a little bit bad, isn't it?

Father...Father, his decree to annul the engagement between me and Young Master Mei has not been annulled yet...

Besides, my father is not in the capital at this time, so he is getting married behind his back..."

Princess Ningguo said hesitantly.

It's not that she doesn't want to get married to Mei Yin.

Actually...actually, there are too many irregularities in this matter.

When my mother told her this, she didn’t have any warning...

Empress Ma reached out to hold her daughter's hand and said, "Yourong, what's wrong?

It is because your father is not in Beijing at this time that your mother can make the decision to marry you and Mei Yin.

Your father has a stubborn temper and can no longer stand on this matter.

I can see that he actually confirmed that what Mei Yin said was true after the incident in Zhongdu City broke out.

I am also hesitant about resuming our engagement.

But I don't want to lose face because of it.

Therefore, even if he knew that he was wrong, he did not want to make any changes in this matter.

Before he left Beijing, I specifically asked him about this matter.

I asked more than once.

He said that there is no possibility between you and Mei Yin.

In this case, you can't blame me for doing this at this time!

If my mother hadn't been so tough on this matter.

You and Mei Yin's child may really miss each other and regret it for the rest of your life.

Face is important, but compared with your happiness, I think face is not that important.

Since you know something is wrong, you need to correct it immediately.

There is no need to hold on there for the so-called face.

The trouble made my daughter feel uncomfortable, and she had a knot that she could not untie for the rest of her life. "

Hearing Queen Ma's words, Princess Ningguo's eyes were red and she was emotional.

Lying in Queen Ma's arms, she hugged her mother tightly.

"Mother, it's just...it's just that my father is so determined on this matter.

If you make this decision while he is away from Beijing, then... when your father comes back, won't you... won't you be furious? "

When Queen Ma heard this, she snorted and said:

"What happened if he came back?

When he came back, the raw rice had already been cooked. How could he still be like this?

Can you turn cooked rice into uncooked rice?

He pinched his nose and had to admit it to me!

Yourong, you don’t understand your father.

He doesn't care about face in some things.

But when it comes to some things, he is extremely concerned about saving face.

Regarding your matter, if mother hadn't come and done this, it would be impossible for you two to live in Mei Yin in this life.

If I didn't know about it through him, I would have handled the matter forcefully.

Then your father will complain at best.

Later, he would admit this himself, and the matter would be over.

As for his reaction on this matter, he was too strong and too passive.

Mom has a way to deal with him.

You don't have to worry too much about these things. If your mother is here, I will definitely handle this matter for you properly. "

Listening to what her mother said, Princess Ningguo's heart was filled with emotion.

It’s great to have my mother here!

"But Yourong, if you get married at this time, you will be a little wronged.

Although mother can make the decision to marry you off, she is afraid that your father will get the news and cause some trouble.

So I don’t dare to prepare you for too long in advance, and I don’t dare to do anything big for you.

I can only manage it a little and let you get married hastily.

Without your father here, my mother wouldn’t be able to hold a banquet with relatives and friends, or allow you to marry in a glorious way…”

Hearing what Empress Ma said, Princess Ning Guo said hurriedly: "Mom, this is enough. This is really enough.

What mother did for her daughter was good enough.

My daughter will never be able to repay my mother's kindness.

This is already much better than the best outcome my daughter could have imagined.

What else could my daughter be dissatisfied with?

My daughter doesn't feel wronged, she just feels happy.

The daughter knows how much her mother loves her daughter.

For the sake of my daughter, how determined I am this time..."

Hearing what Princess Ning Guo said, Queen Ma put her hand on her back and patted her gently.

It's like coaxing Princess Ningguo to sleep when she was a child.

"After all, it's people like Li Shanchang who caused this matter.

If they hadn't caused this trouble, they would have gone too far in Zhongdu City, and they were so powerful.

Others, even if they knew what they were doing there, did not dare to say anything and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Mei Yin is so smart that he would not choose to make such a fuss at the Lantern Festival dinner.

Let your marriage have such twists and turns. "

After listening to Queen Ma’s words, Princess Ningguo. There was light in his eyes.

Originally, she was thinking that in the matter of Zhongdu City, there was a high possibility that it would be like what Mr. Mei said.

What Mr. Mei said is true.

He told his father the things that no one dared to say due to the power of Li Shanchang and others.

In order to prevent his father from making mistakes and to prevent innocent people from dying.

He doesn't care about personal honor or disgrace, personal gain or loss, and that's why he made such a fuss at the Lantern Festival dinner.

Now it seems that my idea is indeed right!

Mr. Mei really didn't lie about this matter!

As expected, it was Li Shanchang and others who made too much trouble.

Think about it, how much authority South Korea's Lee Sun has!

Before this, how determined was my father in moving the capital to Zhongdu.

Even people like Liu Bowen were defeated.

It can be said that in this matter, whoever mentions it will be unlucky!

But my own Mr. Mei just dared to stand up and expose this matter!

How unafraid of power and sacrifice!

How for the common people and for righteousness!

My own Mr. Mei is really a noble and upright person!

There are really tens of thousands of people going there!

Only such a person is his ideal husband and can be worthy of him!

Only such a person is worthy of being entrusted with him for life.

If you can get married to such a person, how can you care about whether the wedding is grand or not?

Princess Ning Guo originally had a good impression of Mei Yin.

Now, after learning from Queen Ma that what happened in Zhongdu City was true, her favorability towards Mei Yin has increased even more.

I just feel that Mei Yin is a rare good match in the world.

Sure enough, this kind of self-imagination is the most deadly.

Queen Ma stayed here for a while, looking at her daughter's happy face, she couldn't help but smile.

I feel more and more certain about the decision I made this time.

This is how it should be done!

For no other reason than to see his daughter look so happy, it was worth it.

Of course, the most fundamental thing about this matter is that the facts prove that what Mei Yin said is correct.

There are no lies in Zhongdu City.

Otherwise, even if Empress Ma wanted to bring Mei Yin and her daughter together, she would be powerless.

I don’t dare and won’t really make this decision.

In addition to these, Queen Ma made this decision for a more important reason.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang learned about some of Mei Yin's actions after coming to Shuangshui Village, Queen Ma's interest in what Mei Yin did in Shuangshui Village has greatly increased.

In the evening, he would take the initiative to ask Zhu Yuanzhang about Mei Yin.

The more I know, the more interested I become in Mei Yin.

I feel that Mei Yin's behavior is not like ordinary people.

This kid is capable of great things.

It can bring a lot of good luck to Ming Dynasty.

It is best to keep such an outstanding person firmly in your own home.

You can't miss out on such a good son-in-law just because Chongba has some face.

From Queen Ma's point of view, by letting her daughter continue to marry Mei Yin.

Not only can the previous misunderstanding be resolved, it will also prevent Mei Yin from having a grudge against his own family.

He can also turn such a capable and extraordinary son-in-law into a family.

Let him contribute better to Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that her consideration not only took into account her daughter's personal issues.

At the same time, Ming Dynasty was also taken into consideration.

It is not unreasonable for Empress Ma to become a wise empress in history.

After leaving Shouning Palace, Queen Ma did not do anything else.

Instead, he recruited some people first.

"I am not allowed to inform Zhongdu about Yourong's marriage, and I am not allowed to tell His Majesty!"

Empress Ma didn't know, even though Chongba had gone to Zhongdu and was not here.

But the major events that happened in Yingtian Fucheng could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

There will be people who will send important events happening here every day.

Although it is only two or three days before Yourong gets married.

Even if someone quickly sent a message to that side at this moment, Chongba would not have time to stop it.

But she still wanted to do this perfectly without any setbacks.

After hearing what Queen Ma said, the people who were summoned were all stunned.

They looked at each other quietly, and then took the order aloud to express that they had taken note of it.

Empress Ma looked at them and said, "Don't think about agreeing on the surface and then turning around and telling Your Majesty the matter behind your back.

I won't agree to this.

Also, you don’t have to worry that His Majesty will embarrass you because you didn’t report this matter when he comes back.

I will explain everything to Your Majesty, and I will take full responsibility for anything.

I won't let him take out his anger on you. "

Upon hearing what Empress Ma said, these people immediately agreed.

Some of the worries in my heart were completely gone.

The Queen is the Queen, and she does things openly!

I won't let slaves like them be in trouble.

They also believed that after the Empress said this, this matter would really not implicate them in the future.

After explaining this matter first, Queen Ma gave many instructions and asked people to quickly clean up and take care of things.

Although she told Princess Ningguo that there was no way for her to do anything about this wedding.

But even if you can't do anything big, you can't be too shabby.

After all, there are still some basic preparations that should be made.

"Go and ask Duke Cao to come."

After Queen Ma arranged some things, she spoke to people again.

"It's brother-in-law Cao Guogong."

It would be impossible not to add this sentence. After all, there are two Cao Guogongs now.

After receiving Queen Ma's instructions, someone quickly left...

As for Shouning Palace, Princess Ningguo was still filled with surprises at this time.

Xiaochan and I started to pack things quickly.

I am happy that my mother has made such a decision for me.

At the same time, it also carries some yearning and expectation.

Looking forward to the wonderful life after getting married to Mr. Mei.

At the same time, he seemed uneasy.

There is a fear of the future...

Most women who want to get married always have complicated emotions.

Of course, her mood was complicated. As she packed up her things to get married, Princess Ningguo didn't hesitate at all...

……

Following Queen Ma's order, the palace and many places in Yingtianfu City became a little lively.

At this time, the old Duke of Cao, Li Zhen, was sitting in the room, listening to the old servant next to him reading a letter to him.

After hearing this letter, Li Zhen sat there without saying a word, stroking her crutches.

After a while of this, he sighed and said, "Jinglong, this grandson, can really give us problems.

How could this be so easy to handle?

The superiors have already issued an imperial edict and settled this matter.

Even though I am the brother-in-law of the superior, I have some thin noodles with the superior and the empress.

But this thing is different.

Everything else is easy to talk about, but this matter...according to the superior's temper, it is not so easy to change his mind..."

Li Zhen said aloud, her heart full of embarrassment.

I think this is really difficult to do.

"Besides, the superior is not in Yingtianfu City at this time. Let me think about how to talk to the superior..."

The more I think about it, the more I find it difficult to do this.

But even if it is difficult to handle, Li Zhen will try her best to solve this matter.

First of all, this is my eldest grandson. This is the first time he has written to me asking for help since he came to Shuangshui Village.

Although I hate that iron cannot become steel, I hate that iron cannot become steel, but after all, he is his eldest grandson. Another thing is that Li Zhen also saw the changes in his grandson after he came to Shuangshui Village and got along with Mei Yin through many things.

Mei Yin is indeed a capable person.

I had sent Jinglong's grandson there before because I wanted to use it to make friends with Mei Yin and correct Jinglong's shortcomings.

Now I find that Mei Yin is really not that simple, and he is a capable person.

In such a big matter, you definitely need to help.

Even if this favor is very difficult to help, I still have to find a way to help.

Just as he was thinking about this, someone came to report that the Queen had sent someone to invite the Lord to the palace to discuss matters...

After hearing the news, the old Duke of Cao, Li Zhen, couldn't help but be stunned.

He never expected that Queen Ma would invite her to the palace to discuss matters at this time.

Is there anything you need to discuss with yourself?

Li Zhen, Duke of Cao, looked very surprised.

His family knows his own affairs, and he really knows how capable he is.

He was originally a farmer and had no skills.

At the beginning, I couldn't get married.

He met his wife when he was not young.

Chongba became the emperor and treated him so well not just because he was his brother-in-law.

Another important reason is that I treated my superiors very well back then.

I don't treat him as an outsider, I really treat him as a younger brother.

At first, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law's family had many children and little land.

Even poor people don’t have enough to eat.

Although my family is a little richer, it can't be said that it's much richer. It's just better than Chongpachi and the others.

Under such circumstances, whenever Chongba came, he would ask his wife to bake more pancakes so that Chongba would be full.

After Chongba leaves, he will wrap some more pancakes for him to take home.

At that time, I never thought much about it. I just thought that this was my brother-in-law who had not enough to eat all year round.

When he comes to his place, no matter what he says, he must eat to his full stomach.

But who could have imagined that Chongba would eventually become the emperor.

Return the cakes you gave him a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times in return!

I really don't have much ability, I'm just an old man.

The one who is truly capable is his own son.

I have never been concerned about world affairs, so why does the Queen want to discuss things with me now?

Why is it my turn to discuss this matter with myself?

Li Zhen was filled with doubts.

"Are they looking for Wen Zhong? Did they hear wrongly?"

Li Zhen thought for a moment and said aloud.

The superior is not in Yingtianfu City now. Wen Zhong is the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion and has important responsibilities.

It is normal for the Queen to seek help from Wen Zhong when she has something to do.

The titles of both father and son are Cao Guogong.

It is very possible that some people heard it wrong.

"Reporting to the master, I heard you right, I am looking for you."

At this time, Li Zhen no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly went out and asked face to face.

After confirming that it was indeed him who was looking for him, he was suddenly filled with surprise.

But he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly changed his clothes. Get on the carriage and hurried to the imperial city.

While walking on the road, I kept thinking about what the Queen wanted to do with me.

As we were approaching the imperial city, suddenly an idea flashed in my mind and I came up with a reason.

This...the original wedding date between Yourong and Mei Yin will be here in three days.

The queen called me to go at this time, could it be... for this matter?

As an old man, he seems to be only useful for some household chores.

For other things, it has absolutely no use for itself.

The more I think about it, the more it seems possible.

But when I think about it more carefully, I find it unbelievable.

After all, this was Chongpachi's decree to annul the engagement.

Now that Chongba is not in Beijing, does the Empress really dare to take care of this matter herself?

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was impossible.

Although I thought it was impossible, I hoped in my heart that it was true.

If it was true, then he would be able to explain to his grandson Jinglong.

You can also make a good relationship.

He actually felt that the boy Mei Yin was a good match for the girl Yourong.

A talented woman.

When the two of them stand together, they are like a golden boy and a beautiful girl, they should become a couple.

At the same time, he also decided that even if the Queen summoned him this time, it would not be to discuss the matter.

Finally, we must discuss their marriage with the Queen and make arrangements.

This man is old, but he just likes to play matchmaker for young people...

……

"Second brother, are you here?"

Seeing Li Zhen coming from a distance, Empress Ma quickly rushed to greet him.

Before the person even arrived, he already smiled and started talking to say hello.

Li Zhen, Duke of Cao, married Zhu Yuanzhang's second sister.

Li Zhen is also Zhu Yuanzhang's second brother-in-law.

However, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Empress Ma thought that the second brother-in-law was worthy of him.

Instead, he always called him second brother.

In this way, it seems close.

Li Zhen saw Queen Ma coming over. Although she was seventy-three years old and old, she also walked faster with a cane to show respect.

And perform the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping.

The panicked Empress Ma stopped her again and again.

"Second brother, stay out of the house. What kind of etiquette do you have as a family?

I can't bear this gift from you.

If you really salute me, you won’t curse me to death when Chongba comes back and finds out. "

After greetings, they came to a palace, where the palace maid and eunuch served tea.

Queen Ma also has a straightforward temperament. She is not used to making many detours when it comes to certain things?

Then he looked at Li Zhen and said, "Second brother, I've asked you to come here today because there's something I want to ask for, Second brother, for your help."

Li Zhen had been thinking about this matter, and immediately said hurriedly: "Queen, please tell me, as long as it is useful for an old man like me, I will definitely help to handle it properly."

Empress Ma heard this and said, "With the words of my second brother, I feel relieved.

Second brother, you also know about the marriage between Yourong and Mei Yin, right?

In three days, the original date will be reached.

Mei Yin made such a fuss at the Lantern Festival dinner, which made Chongba furious and broke off their engagement.

But now, news came that what Mei Yin said was all true.

Chongba has already rushed to Zhongdu to deal with these matters.

That means that in this matter, Mei Yin did nothing wrong and had both merit and demerit.

It's just that Jonghachi is a good-looking person.

Some things go right into the bull's horns, and even nine bulls can't pull them back.

So I planned to marry Yourong according to the original wedding date without his consent.

Let the marriage of this young couple continue..."

It’s really all about this!

After Li Zhen heard Queen Ma's words, she was surprised and suddenly felt happy in her heart.

If that's the case, this matter will be easy to handle.

Originally, I was still thinking about this matter and it was difficult to say.

Who could have imagined that the Queen would be even more intense than she thought.

How dare you actually act like this.

"Of course this is good!"

Li Zhen spoke up: "To be honest, Jinglong also sent me a letter, saying that he was very optimistic about the marriage between Mei Yin and Yourong.

I would like to ask the Queen, the Queen, and Your Majesty to have a chat with me.

I've been thinking about how to speak.

I didn’t expect that your heart, the Queen, would already be here.

This is of course very good. "

After saying that, he continued: "It's just... I am not in the capital at the moment.

If...if the matter is settled like this, will he be able to bear it when he comes back? "

After hearing this, Queen Ma said: "Don't worry about this second brother, you don't know his temper.

If he really waits for him to turn around on this matter, the two of them will never even think about getting married in this life.

We did it without his consent, so we got it done.

He lost his temper and the matter was over.

From now on, we will still be good friends with Mei Yin. "

After hearing what Empress Ma said, Li Zhen had a smile on her face.

He opened his mouth and said, "I don't know, Queen, why do you want me to come here to help you?

Just say it. "

Empress Ma heard this and said: "Everything else is easy to talk about, but there is one thing that is difficult to handle.

That is Chongba, the father, who went to Fengyang and was not in the capital.

I am also a womanly person.

Things at home can be managed.

But he couldn't send Yourong to Shuangshui Village.

There are no other elders in the family, so I want to ask my second brother to send Yourong there on your wedding day..."

After listening to Queen Ma's words, Li Zhen smiled and said: "I don't know what it is.

Please rest assured, I will definitely do it well.

As Yourong's uncle, I have a duty.

It is also an honor for me to be able to see this child off and give instructions to Mei Yin in person. "

After listening to Li Zhen's words, Queen Ma showed a smile on her face.

"With your words, Second Brother, I feel relieved.

You Rong is getting married, but we don’t have any elders here to send her off, so it’s really not good-looking..."

……

"How come Yingtianfu City has become so lively today?

It also looks like a palace purchase. "

In the Runan Marquis Mansion, Mei Sizu, who had returned from outside, looked a little strange and said.

Mei Sizu felt uncomfortable at the moment.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang led many people to Zhongdu City this time.

I want to see what Zhongdu City has been built in advance.

This is when you look like you have a long face.

But in the end, he, the Marquis of Runan, was left behind and stayed in the capital.

Couldn't go along.

He gets angry just thinking about not being able to participate in such a prosperous time.

He naturally blamed Mei Yin for this incident.

It must be because of this bullshit Mei Yin, she went too far this time and got herself in trouble!

So much so that the superior had a lot of opinions about his Mei family, so he didn't take him there this time.

Deliberately alienating his own Mei family.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

"The palace is going on a shopping spree? It seems like there hasn't been any major events in the palace recently, right?"

Mei Yi, who was still lying there recovering from his injuries, looked confused when he heard this.

"The Queen is also frugal and rarely buys things on a large scale.

what is it today?

Dad... tell me, could it be that... you want to hold a wedding for Mei Yin?

Counting the time, there were only three days left in the engagement they had originally made.

Apart from this, there seems to be no other major events. "

Mei Yi suddenly remembered something, and a somewhat unbelievable voice rang out.

"A wedding for them?"

Hearing this, Mei Sizu's voice couldn't help but become louder.

With some surprise and uncertainty.

He immediately shook his head: "Impossible! How is this possible!

This was the order personally issued by the current superior, and it was abolished.

Now this will has not been withdrawn.

It's impossible for both of them.

Besides, now that the superior is in charge, because Zhongdu City is well built, Long Yan is very happy, so he brought so many courtiers to Zhongdu City to watch.

It shows that His Majesty’s heart is in this central capital.

The Korean father managed things beautifully.

What is the status of a Korean public servant?

His Majesty is obviously on the Korean side.

Since Mr. Han has managed things well and won His Majesty's trust, Mei Yin can only be the unlucky one.

Under such circumstances, Mei Yin, that bastard, still wants to get married according to the original time. How is it possible?

Besides, even the Queen really means this.

But now that the superior is not at home, she would never dare to make the decision to let the two of them get married.

Impossible, there must be something else! "

After listening to what his father said, Mei Yi also felt that his idea just now was quite unreliable.

Did your head twitch just now?

Are you pretending to be shit?

How could such an idea come to mind!

Mei Yin caused such a fuss and already made people angry.

He was hated to death by the Korean Duke, as well as the current emperor, empress and others.

The engagement was annulled by the emperor himself.

Regarding the matter of Zhongdu City, His Majesty is obviously on the side of the Korean Duke.

Everyone has already gone to Zhongdu City.

Under such circumstances, how could the Queen marry her daughter on the original date?

He Mei Yin, don’t think about this again in this life!

I can only marry a girl with thick legs from the country!

When such thoughts arose in her heart, Mei Yi's mood became much better...
