boudoir

Chapter 398
Liuli exchanged a few words with Chen Yuan, and then invited her into the open room in the garden.

Except for Chen Yuan, the noble ladies who were invited here today are all familiar with Liuli, and most of them didn't come back to Dingbei Prince's Mansion for the first time, strolling in the garden, admiring the flowers and looking at the lake and mountain scenery is very free.Liuli asked Mrs. Mu to invite Qi Mulan over, since she was unable to move herself, so she asked their aunt and sister-in-law to entertain her.

Here Chen Yuan was invited into the Changxuan, and all present were handkerchiefs from Liuli, so he naturally came forward to chat with enthusiasm, no matter how unsociable Chen Yuan was, he still had at least some etiquette, seeing these young mistresses from the noble mansion treat him like this Enthusiastic, but also let go of some restraints, and chatted about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Liuli has been listening with a smile on the side, until they have laid the groundwork for a long time, she gave them a wink, then got up and said to Chen Yuan: "Ms. Chen likes the layout, I am not good at chess, but my husband Guo Xia was a master in the early years. She once gave me a pair of chess pieces, which is very interesting, follow me up to Chaoqing Hall and have a look."

Chen Yuan got up and said: "Mr. Guo's name is like thunder, and the gift to the princess must be extraordinary. If Chen Yuan can see it, he is really lucky."

Lu Muyang smiled and said: "Miss Chen is young, she speaks like an old scholar."

Chen Yuan blushed, and said: "Chen Yuan is dull by nature, the princess laughed."

Liuli glanced at Lu Muyang, turned her head and smiled with Chen Ai, "Miss Chen, follow me."

After leaving the back garden, there were gradually fewer people, Liuli walked slowly, and Chen Yuan knew that she was pregnant, so he deliberately walked slower with her pace.After passing the hallway, Liuli looked at her with a smile and said, "How old is Miss Chen?"

Chen Yuan said, "It's already sixteen."

Liuli nodded: "It's really an age like a flower and a jade." After walking a few steps slowly, she went up the corridor, and she smiled again: "We Qijia and the palace have always been close, thanks to the blessing of the Holy One, don't take us Huai'an The king is an outsider, but he is regarded as a brother. For this honor, we dare not forget the emperor's kindness. In the future, if the girl enters the palace, you don't dislike it, and you can always call us to talk."

What she said came from the bottom of her heart. No matter what, it was always beneficial and harmless to be able to repair the relationship with the future queen.Although the Qi family and his son are the most powerful ministers in the dynasty, who would think that they have too many connections?What's more, this time it was Lu Zhao himself who ordered her to persuade Chen Yuan. No matter what, after the matter is completed, both sides can settle well.Compared with letting other people enter the palace to proclaim later, this has many advantages.

That is because it was beneficial to the Qi government that contributed to this matter, so she chose to agree to Lu Zhao.Otherwise, how could she really have no way to apply for Jin Xuan's household registration?So no matter whether Chen Ai really didn't want to enter the palace or was just being hypocritical, she would do it well for the sake of praying for the palace.

What is the most powerful minister in the world, if you want to do it, you must be the most powerful minister in the past and present!Although Chen Yuan has a strong temper and is not good at gentleness, this is her weakness, but for Liuli, this is an advantage.

However, Chen Yuan stopped and his face turned pale.

Liuli turned around and said, "What's the matter, girl?"

Chen Yuan's lips parted slightly, and he uttered a sentence for a long time: "My concubine's words, I forgive Chen Yuan for not being able to bear it."

"Oh?" Liuli paused, and said, "Why can't you afford it?"

Chen Yuan bit his lower lip and said: "Chen Yuan, I have no blessing to accept the emperor's grace."

Liuli looked at her, and after a short while, she slowly said: "Miss, do you have someone you like?"

"No!" Chen Yuan froze and knelt down, "Chen Yuan never had a man in his heart!"

"Then I don't understand. The Holy Majesty ordered that you can take charge of the harem after entering the palace. Why don't you do such a thing?" Liuli slowed down her tone, and added a trace of contemplation.

Chen Yuan knelt on the ground, looked at the ground, and said for a long time: "Chen Yuan is not sure that he will be able to win the favor for a long time. There are more beauties in the six palaces than fish and geese. Even if Chen Yuan has a bit of beauty, it can't live up to the years."

This is really a sensible person!Liuli looked at the top of her head and sighed secretly.After a while, she said, "Do you think our prince treats me well?"

Chen Yuan paused, and said: "The prince treats the princess, naturally he treats the gods and couples, which makes people envious. But it is also because the prince's kindness to the princess has spread all over the world, so it is more believed that it is true and pure. The love lies in the people, not in the palace."

"Then why do you think the prince is nice to me?" She asked again.

"Naturally, it's because of the character and wisdom of the princess."

"That's right." Liuli said: "You also know that the prince loves me so much not because of my appearance, so you should know that what can really keep a person for a lifetime is not her facial features or figure, but whether she has Things that can impress that person. There are so many pinks and daisies in the six palaces, why did the late emperor have a special liking for the Empress Dowager Luo? You are not a peerless figure, why did the Holy One pick you alone? You are a smart person, why do you want to learn from others? ?The true and pure feelings in the world, caring about people, not places.”

Chen Yuan didn't speak, and knelt without moving.

Liuli smiled, turned to look at the lofty Yuntian, and said: "You still think so now, then let me ask you, if Chen Hui married you to a well-matched heir or son, what do you think, after you get married? Is your life guaranteed to be happy? Will your husband be able to stick to you for the rest of his life, never take a concubine, never get close to other women, and never lose interest in you when you are old and decrepit?"

Chen Yuan raised his head, his eyes were a little confused.

Liuli said: "It's a man's nature to like the new and dislike the old, but some people can restrain themselves for the one they love, while others don't care. No matter whether emperors, generals, or traffickers, the difference between them is that one has conditions and the other does not. If our King Huai'an was just an ordinary citizen, it wouldn't make you feel so rare for him to treat me like this, right? He had the condition, but he didn't do it, so this became a great feat in your eyes. But in In his opinion, this is what he should do.

"There are still not many people like him in the world. I can't guarantee that you will never meet him, but you are already sixteen, and you still have more than three years to try your luck. After three years, you don't choose You have to be matched by a judge according to the law. Are you willing to do this? You definitely don’t want to. No girl will be willing to marry like this. So in a big chance, you still have to choose a blind marriage at random, and then live a happy life after marriage. Living the days of endless struggle with concubines and concubine children.

"In this way, since marrying an ordinary man is as risky as marrying an emperor, why not choose the one with greater added value? At least, in addition to having a complete man, you also have the qualification to sit in the same country as him. "

Chen Yuan opened her eyes wide and looked at her, her lips trembled slightly, and her shoulders drooped weakly. It seemed that after these words, she suddenly realized that there was still some possibility that she could fully grasp her own destiny.

Marrying is indeed risky. Whether it is marrying an emperor or a commoner, it is a low-probability event for a man to stick to one another. Women can't afford to lose time, so they can only do whatever they want.

Since they all depend on luck, in comparison, it really seems to be better to choose the one with better conditions.

"Wangfei means that a woman still can't control her own destiny in her life?" She raised her head and asked unwillingly.The woman in front of me is almost a legend. Everyone in the world knows that she was originally an illegitimate daughter. Now she is sitting in the position of the prince and concubine, and she completely owns the most heroic and powerful man in the world. She is a successful person. If you don't believe her, she will think that women should compromise with fate!

"No!" Liuli turned around and said with a smile, "On the contrary, I think the fate of a woman is also in my own hands." , you are not like me. You have parents who hold you in your hands as treasure, so you don’t have to worry about it in your mother’s house. The life of a woman after marriage is the life that she can control. Your husband, your children, Your family will be greatly affected by your attitudes and ideas. Whether a woman lives well or not depends not on the man, but on herself."

Chen Yuan looked at her half-understood, his eyes were blurred but convinced.

"However, even if this is the case, my Chen family doesn't have any contacts in Beijing. Even if I become this empress, I may not be able to assist the Holy Majesty."

"Why not?" Liuli bent down and took her hand, helped her up, and said with a smile, "You are so smart, you should be able to see through it. Your Chen family has only been in Beijing for ten years, and you don't have any connections. Why is your majesty alone?" I chose you alone? Look at how many dignitaries and senior officials in Beijing have accumulated since the establishment of the dynasty? The way to be a king is balance, and there is no external worry at the moment. If the Holy One picks out a queen from the dignitaries , aren't you afraid that the descendant's family will become powerful and cause disputes among relatives?"

Chen Yuan's body shook violently, and his shoulders that had been straight before suddenly dropped, "What the princess said really made Chen Yuan suddenly enlightened! I really got into a dead end!"

Liuli smiled and said: "As long as you use your virtuous and virtuous virtue to assist the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will naturally protect you forever. Besides, as ministers of the auxiliary country, we Qijia are naturally willing to see the emperor and empress reconcile. Although your Chen family I don't have a lot of contacts, but don't you know me now?"

It is no exaggeration for her to say that the ten contacts that the Chen family has casually made in the capital are not as reliable and useful as having a relationship with a Qi family.If Lu Zhao can determine the prosperity and decline of the Qi family, then the Qi family can also determine whether the queen is favored or not. When Lu Zhao makes the Qi family's position more stable, the Qi family can also protect the stability of the queen for a long time. The queen can balance the harem Now, Lu Zhao will of course have more energy to rule the world.

These three parties complement each other. Although the Qi family seems to be suspected of being a big one, but the Qi family has no ambitions for imperial power. Otherwise, where would it be Lu Zhao's turn to sit on this dragon chair?Lu Zhao knew this very well, so anyone could move, but Qijia couldn't.
