The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 372: Big Wedding (1)
In the He family, He Ying and He Sen have been feeling uneasy ever since they knew that the future Princess Ping was a girl from the Zhao family whose He family had retired.Although it was said that the girl from the Zhao family wanted to withdraw from the marriage, in the end it was caused by He Zhiyan's desire to withdraw from the engagement.I'm afraid that the girl of the Zhao family will hold a grudge and revenge on the He family after marrying King Ping, that would be terrible.

Now that He Ying heard the Queen's news that his wife had entered the palace, he knew that it was probably because of that Princess Ping.King Ping must have been offended now, and their He family has long been labeled as the Li family, and there is no other way to go.He Ying was cruel, thinking that it would only tarnish the reputation of that girl of the Zhao family, and it would be best not to let her marry into Prince Ping's mansion.

The three wives arrived at Fengyi Palace, visited the queen, and after a few gossips, the queen really asked about Zhao Anran.

Empress Li first asked the Wen family, "I heard that Mr. Qian was the magistrate of Hejiang County in Luzhou at the beginning, and he and the Zhao family are old acquaintances?"

Wen replied respectfully: "As for the Empress, Miss Zhao's father had once served as a teacher to my husband, and the third concubine married into the Zhao family at that time, and she was Miss Zhao's cousin."

The queen naturally found out about these things.She didn't mention it before because she just wanted to see Wen's attitude. From the current point of view, Wen's respectful and frank confession is quite satisfactory to her.

"Since Mrs. Qian is familiar with the Zhao family, she should also be familiar with the girl from the Zhao family, right? Tell me, how about that girl? Is she worthy of Prince Ping?"

Wen replied cautiously: "The eldest daughter of the Zhao family has met her as a concubine since she was a child. She is a very smart and lovely girl. To tell you the truth, my husband still wanted to make Miss Zhao his daughter-in-law back then, but it was too late. One step from the He family."

"Oh?" The queen's people did not investigate this, so they asked, "Is it the wife's second son?"

Wen shi lowered his head and replied embarrassedly: "If you go back to your mother, it is not the second son of the concubine, but the eldest son..."

The queen was surprised: "General Zhen Guo? They are not of the same age, right?"

Wen said in shame: "Ms. Zhao was only five years old at the time, and our brother Rui was nineteen. We all thought that he would treat Ms. Zhao like a daughter. Who knew..."

Hearing this, the queen was a little worried.The Li family does not have military power in their hands now, and the only guard of honor in military power is General Qian Rui.But if General Zhen Guo is really interested in Miss Zhao, they can't touch her casually.

Empress Li thought for a while, and then asked Mrs. He: "Since the daughter of the Zhao family has been engaged to your He family since childhood, why would she withdraw before marriage?"

Mrs. He received her husband's advice, and replied: "I'm going to tell you, my concubine's grand-nephew fell ill when he returned to his hometown to welcome his relatives. He had invited doctors all over Luzhou, but none of them recovered. On the contrary, the closer the marriage was, the more seriously ill he became. The entire Jiangyang city is rumored that the girl from the Zhao family is destined for Kefu. That's why our He family is thinking of retiring. I didn't expect that the concubine's nephew would be cured without medicine just after writing the letter of resignation. Madam, are you surprised? Strange? Afterwards, the whole of Luzhou knew about that girl, Kefu, who couldn't get married in her hometown of Hejiang, so she came to the capital."

Wen frowned slightly. She had heard her son-in-law Zhao Annan say that since the death of her second uncle, the He family had become estranged from the Zhao family.Back then, the divorce was also because the second son of the He family pretended to be sick and refused to pay homage.However, now that Mrs. He has said so, it is not easy for her to refute directly.

Empress Li was very happy when she heard Madam He's words, but she scolded with a cold face: "Miss Zhao will soon be Princess Ping, I don't want to hear any bad rumors, you know?"

"Yes, yes, I know." Mrs. He didn't know why the queen was angry. Didn't the master say that the queen would like to hear this?
When Wen heard this, he thought the queen was protecting the face of the royal family, and felt relieved.

Empress Li left Mrs. Li, and let Mrs. Wen and Mrs. He go back first.

Mrs. Li was also a little uneasy, what exactly did the queen want to ask when she stayed here?

Speaking of which, although the Li family is the offspring of the Li family in Longxi, when it comes to seniority, they still call the queen an aunt.

Empress Li asked her directly: "You have been married to General Zhen Guo for many years, and you only have one daughter under your knees. Are you not in a hurry? Are your in-laws in a hurry?"

Mrs. Li lowered her head and said with a blushing face, "He's at the border, what's the use of being anxious?"

"You don't know how to send someone to the border to serve him? When a son is born, won't it be your son if you raise it under your name?"

Li said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine has not thought about it this way, but, but the husband doesn't want it, so what can I do as a concubine..."

"Could it be that General Qian is still thinking of others?" Empress Li asked repeatedly, but she just wanted to ask this question.

Mrs. Li lowered her head, as if she didn't know how to answer, she hesitated for a while before saying: "When the husband came back at the beginning of the year, he asked Ms. Zhao if she would like to be a wife, but Ms. Zhao didn't agree..."

Empress Li said a few more words about Li Shi, and let her go back out of the palace.Then, Empress Li considered this matter carefully.It seems that Ke Fu, the daughter of the Zhao family, is real. Since the emperor doesn't let her take care of this matter, then she can ignore it. If King Ping is killed when he just got married, it can't be her fault.

If Prince Ping was really killed, maybe Miss Zhao would take Prince Ping's power to join their Li family based on her relationship with the Qian family in the past, in exchange for prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life.

If Queen Li knew what An Wang had done, she would not have such a beautiful dream.It's a pity that everyone in the Li family has a bad habit. They look down on women and don't tell women much about anything.Therefore, although Empress Li is a queen, she has no idea what King An and Li Shangshu did outside the palace.Only when Wang An and the Li family needed her to do something, they would send someone to send a message.

As a result, preparations for King Ping's wedding began again.

On August [-]rd, someone from the Shu Palace came to pick up Gu Wanniang and Wei Xiuqin.An Ran's voice has just improved, and she can barely speak a few words. She thought that she now has an official status in the Shu Palace, worried that her mother would miss her, and also wanted to let her father and mother meet, so she sent Someone went to Zhao's house to pick up my mother and cousin.Because the sister-in-law was pregnant, she just sent a gift to her, and she will not meet her this time.
