Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 191
Empress Dowager Zheng and Wen Chan were admiring the flowers on the terrace of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when the messenger came up and said: "The emperor and the son are here."

Although there are many princes in the Manchu Dynasty, all the princes are just floating clouds in front of the princes of King Yan.

Before the two of them had time to react, the little emperor had already stepped in, and behind him was Xiao Huai, the son of Prince Yan?

The little emperor saluted and stood beside him.

Because Yangxing Hall is an outer hall, there is no bead curtain, and Xiao Huai stands on the side of the curtain, so it is regarded as guarding the system.

He greeted the Empress Dowager Zheng, then looked at Wen Chan and smiled: "The old lady is also here."

Wen Chan still had to show some courtesy to Xiao Huai, but she was a little baffled by his bright smile today.

Empress Dowager Zheng gave them seats: "Is there something wrong with sending cold into the palace?"

Xiao Huai sat down with his robes lifted, took the tea brought by the eunuch and said: "A few days ago, the emperor bestowed marriages on a group of young ladies, and the ministers heard that the whole court was full of joy, and those who were hand-picked for marriage were all shouting for the emperor's favor. mighty.

"It just so happened that there were still some young girls who had left the school grounds that day, but didn't have their turn? Therefore, I think this matter can continue.

"So just now, the minister went to chat with the emperor. When the chat got interesting, he couldn't help but came to look for the queen mother."

The little emperor pursed his lips and looked at him.

Empress Dowager Zheng was interested when she heard this, and immediately looked at Wen Chan.

Wen Chan was also surprised, right now she was worrying that there was no one to help her, Xiao Huai came here for the wedding?

After thinking for a while, he said: "What the son said is true. Most of the young ladies who died that day have not yet married, and the old man also feels that this blessing can continue."

Xiao Huai said with a smile: "You can't just favor the officials in the capital, I personally think that the military generals stationed at the border, and the low-level officials who have served abroad for many years, these people can be regarded as dedicated to the Great Zhou.

"Especially the centurion commanders and thousand commanders under our Five Armies Commander's Mansion.

"Because of hereditary military households, I am afraid that they will not have the opportunity to honor their ancestors for generations. I privately think that they should also enjoy the same blessing."

When Wen Chan heard this, her expression froze for a moment!
Although it was Xiao Huai who thought of a place with her, it was too coincidental...

Why does it sound like someone just whispered this in his ear for her?

But she just said that in the mansion, and what she said was not so clear, no matter how powerful his minions in the Yan Wang Mansion are, it is impossible to reach out to her An Rongtang, and he is staring at her as an old man. What does the wife do?
Apart from the mansion, she was the only one who mentioned this matter to Empress Dowager Zheng just now, but it is obviously even more impossible for the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

The Empress Dowager Zheng was so guarded against King Yan's Mansion that she couldn't get a good night's sleep, so how could she allow people around her to report to King Yan's Mansion?

Besides, if you set up eyes and ears in the palace, as long as you catch him, you can't escape the crime of disrespect.

"Why did you suddenly think of this?"

She was doubtful here, and Empress Dowager Zheng had already asked.

"As the deputy commander of the Fifth Army, I think it is reasonable to seek some benefits for the generals under his command."

Xiao Huai opened his mouth and said: "If so many outstanding ladies in the whole Zhou Dynasty were all pointed out to the civil officials and Beijing officials, the people below would think it was unfair.

"The civil servants and military generals are all courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I privately think that the emperor should be exposed to both rain and dew."

What she said was well-founded, which actually made Queen Mother Zheng nod her head.

Wen Chan also dispelled some doubts.

Xiao Huai, as the son of King Yan's mansion who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, has a good reason to consider for his generals.

Especially since he killed so many generals not long ago, if he can get a few young ladies to go back to marry him now, he will definitely win back some goodwill.

But she was still not so relieved, and after thinking for a while, she asked again: "Then I don't know whose family the lady thinks is suitable?"

Shen Xi is so eye-catching, Xiao Huai should not miss her if he wants to give marriages to military households.

Furthermore, the little emperor even bestowed nine marriages, all of which bypassed Shen Xi, so couldn't it be regarded as specially reserved for border military households?

Xiao Huai said here: "Naturally, the more excellent it is, the more it can reflect the sincerity of the court. What do you think, Mrs. Madam?"

He smiled with white teeth, looking really handsome and charming man.

Wen Chan couldn't refute, not only couldn't refute, but could only nod along with his words.

Who was better on the school field that day, needless to say?Of course it was Shen Xi who was the leader!

With his words, it will be easy to handle!

She turned her head and said to Empress Dowager Zheng: "Look, Empress Dowager, even the crown prince said so.

"The leader, Shen Xixiu, is smart and wise, and he is the most suitable candidate for the imperial court to award marriages to the soldiers guarding the border!
"I also ask the queen mother to make a decisive decision, and ask the emperor to give an imperial edict earlier!"

"Hey--"

As soon as she finished speaking here, before Queen Mother Zheng had time to reply, Xiao Huai waved her hands and said again: "In terms of excellence, how can Shen Xi compare to Miss Song from your residence?
"The border area is not a school field, except for the barbarians who disturb the border, there are also bandits who roam around from time to time.

"Miss Song is both civil and military. She is a first-class female high school hero in Dazhou. No one can suppress her in this matter!"

Empress Dowager Zheng was slightly taken aback.

Wen Chan's heart trembled!

Looking up at Xiao Huai, he blurted out, "How could it be Sister Jiao?! The leader at that time was clearly—"

"Who said that the leader must be the best? Does the old lady think Miss Song is not good enough?"

Xiao Huai took a strong glance from behind the teacup: "The old lady is the last noble lady in Daqin and the highest ranked lady in the world, so what's the point of losing a mere competition?
"The old matriarch is full of wind and moon, and she doesn't care about these false names.

"Could it be that you, old man, want to say that the young lady you teach yourself is not as good as an orphaned girl from a third-rank official family? Shen Xi just won by luck."

Wen Chan raised it to her throat in one breath, and the blood all over her body rushed to her head and limbs!

Of course she couldn't admit that Song Jiao was worse than Shen Xi, the young lady of the Han family became famous because she was trained by her noble daughter!

But can she still admit that Song Jiao is stronger than Shen Xi?It's okay for others to flatter her, but how could she put gold on her own face?
And no matter how she refused to admit defeat, the fact was in the eyes of everyone in the world. Even if she wrote the first four characters on Song Jiao's face, who would really think she was amazing?
Xiao Huai has clearly dug a big hole for him here!
If she said that Song Jiao was indeed better than Shen Xi, or if she acquiesced, wouldn't that just let Xiao Huai take the conversation, so that Queen Mother Zheng would marry Song Jiao to a military household? !
She was actually caught by a junior with words!
She gritted her molars for a while and said: "According to what the prince said, this marriage represents not only the emperor's reward, but also the welfare that the prince specially strives for for the military households, so how can the court prove that the marriage is not given by a leader?" Sincerity?!"
