Twin Brocade

Chapter 687 Blessing Prayer
And now even if she doesn't get her wish to become a concubine, the girls cultivated by the Li family from childhood to adulthood are still outstanding in this group of harem.

From appearance, figure, to talent and knowledge, she is better than others in everything.

It's a pity that what she met was Emperor Qinglong who was not moved by female sex.Otherwise, she would have favored the harem long ago, so how could she stay low and be small like she is now.

When Chunhe Princess mentioned her, Empress Cao smiled slightly.

This Empress Li is submissive on the surface, but she keeps making small moves in private.Fortunately, she didn't get a higher position, otherwise she might have the ambition to spy on the lower position.

Concubine Fu Xian watched her words and expressions, and hurriedly said: "Children are born in a family and don't know how to speak. Our empress is born beautiful and majestic, how can Li Empress be compared."

Princess Chunhe stuck out her tongue, got up and apologized: "It's Fu'er's fault, so please forgive me this time."

And how could Empress Cao care about her? She praised her youthful intentions as good, but she just found the wrong person.

"Chunhe, get up, I don't mean to blame you." Empress Cao said with a smile, "Chunhe hasn't answered my question yet."

In the past one or two years, Concubine Fu Xian has been coming to Changle Palace more frequently, and she often sends Chunhe over with some seasonal fresh fruits.How could Empress Cao not know what she was thinking.

Chun and the princess are old enough to see each other for marriage.

A concubine princess, apart from being given a title, Emperor Qinglong didn't particularly favor her.Didn't her marriage fall on Empress Cao?
Whether it's in the folk or in the palace, the concubine's marriage has always been decided by the aunt's mother.

Anyway, in the past few days, Empress Cao couldn't make up her mind, so it's better to clarify this matter, look at the son-in-law for Chunhe, and divert her mind.

Princess Chunhe, who was born delicate and delicate, bent her knees and replied, "As for Madam, Fu'er just passed her 13th birthday this year."

"It turns out to be a big girl." Empress Cao said with emotion: "The children are all grown up, and they have reached the age to start a family."

She looked sideways at Concubine Fu Xian, and asked: "I don't know, what is the idea of ​​Concubine Xian? Is there any ready-made candidate for the son-in-law?"

Concubine Fu Xian has always been close to her, and no matter what her intentions are, this kindness is always there.Empress Cao intends to fulfill the marriage between Chun and Princess.

If there is any suitable candidate, she will bestow the marriage and add face to Concubine Fu Xian.

Knowing the elegance after hearing the string song, Concubine Fu Xian hurriedly stood up to express her thanks, and said: "The concubine thanked the empress on Fu'er's behalf. The empress is in charge of the Six Palaces and is still thinking about her marriage. I am really grateful."

It was beyond her expectation that Empress Cao could take the initiative to raise this matter.

Even among the common people, it is common for the mother-in-law to control the marriage of the concubine.

"We've been together for many years, so why do you need to be polite to me?" Empress Cao smiled indifferently, and said, "You guys are optimistic about the candidate, just come and tell me. With me, don't be restrained."

Her marriage to Emperor Qinglong was only for the needs of the family, not for mutual affection.

If you have never loved, how can you be jealous?
Not to mention that he is now the emperor, even if he is a prince, he must have a side concubine and beauty.What Empress Cao cared about was always her own children.

Concubine Fu Xian's mother and daughter kept themselves safe, why did she bother to make things difficult for each other.

With her words, Concubine Fu Xian seemed to have taken a reassurance, and hurriedly pulled Chun and the princess to thank her.

Empress Cao asked the maid to help them up, and said: "Go and peel a plate of pomegranates, we can talk while we eat." She intentionally kept the two of them to pass the time.

However, along with the pomegranate, there was another piece of news that she expected, but she absolutely didn't want to hear.

Her personal maid, Shanmei, brought up a crystal dish, which contained pomegranate seeds that were crystal clear like rubies.

However, those who are familiar with her can see her serious mood at the moment from the slightly drooping corners of her mouth.

Empress Cao's heart tightened, she took the cup of tea she was holding to her lips, and slowly sipped it.

"Your Majesty," Shanmei put the plate on the case table, kneeled down and said, "The Emperor sent back a blessing prayer from the Taimiao, and he just arrived at Yanqing Palace. The Empress Dowager sent someone, please go there .”

Prayer?

In the annual ancestor worship, this situation did not appear.

Empress Cao lowered her eyes, tried her best not to tremble with her hands, and gently put the teacup in her hand back on the table.

"Since the Empress Dowager invited me, the concubine took Fu'er to leave." Concubine Fu Xian got up quickly.Seeing that Empress Cao has something to do, she can't be so ignorant.

Empress Cao nodded in agreement, and sent their mother and daughter out of the palace.

"Send someone to Yanqing Palace first, and I'll come right after I change my clothes." Empress Cao sat in front of the dressing table, and was served by a maid to comb a high bun and change into a wide-sleeved, gold-rimmed robe, luxurious and dignified. .

Shanmei waited on her to tidy up, and asked the other maids in the room to go down to prepare the phoenix chariot for Empress Cao.

In the room, only the two of them were left.

"Your Majesty, it is Fang Hanlin who sent back the blessing prayer." Shanmei said softly.

Sure enough it was him.

Empress Cao tightened her hands by her side, and sighed: "Let's go." Since fate tricked her, she couldn't dodge it, so she could only go head-on.

Who is the expert who advised Wei Yixin?

I'm afraid, if I can successfully help King Qi ascend the throne, this expert will show up to ask for rewards.

Forget it, there is no need to think too much about the future.

In the current situation, the crown prince and King Qi seem to be evenly matched.But the prince is doing a great job in disaster relief and is on his way back to Beijing.Once they arrive in Beijing, the princelings will take action, and will never sit back and watch King Qi grow bigger.

Guan Jinghuan has already taken a clear stand under the prince's command, but Zhu Zihou, the only one who can contend with him, has not expressed his position.

King Qi must establish a team capable of competing with the prince before the prince returns to the capital in order to gain a firm foothold.And all of this is tied to Fang Shuyu.

Feng Nian stopped outside the gate of Yanqing Palace, looked at the steps in front of her, Empress Cao took a deep breath, and walked up slowly, holding her skirt.

"The empress is here." The servant at the door announced loudly.

After entering Yanqing Palace, Empress Cao greeted Empress Dowager Xiao first, and Empress Dowager Xiao gave her a seat.

"The Taishi Bureau watched the stars at night and detected the recoil of Suzaku's well, which led to floods and epidemics in the world." Empress Dowager Xiao said: "The emperor made a blessing prayer, and you and I need to copy a copy so Fang Hanlin sent back to Taimiao."

If Empress Cao hadn't known about it, Wei Yixin had been instructed by that expert to do something behind this.She was afraid that she would believe this extremely reasonable reason, thinking that this was a major event for praying for blessings and offering sacrifices to heaven.

She clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, slightly bowed to Fang Shuyu who was standing in the hall, and said, "Fang Hanlin, you have worked hard."
