That woman was none other than Ling Yue.
At this moment, Ling Yue and the young Marquis Tuoba Yu were standing under a thick plum tree, looking up at the beautiful scenery of red plum trees reflecting the snow, and seemed to be talking very happily.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, the branches of the plum tree swayed, and the snow fell.
Ling Zihan felt her eyes darken and she fell into the warmth. The breath that accompanied her pillow every night was lingering in her nose. The arm that often used as a pillow for her circled her back and held it close to her.
She huddled tightly in her arms, shielded by her cloak.
When Luoxue passed by with the certificate, Xuanyuan Huang shook off his cloak. Ling Zihan looked at the Luoxue in his hair and said angrily: "Look at you, the snow is all over your head. Be careful, the water has melted and your head is frozen."
As she said that, she took the silk, stood on tiptoes, and gently brushed the snowflakes off his head. Originally she was concentrating wholeheartedly, but she was distracted by Xia Xia's laughter and Die Ying's faint smile.
Embarrassed, my hands froze in mid-air and I paused for a moment.
As he continued to clear the snow, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the Marquis of Tubo on the other side did the same thing as Xuanyuan Huang. He also used his cloak to paw snow for Ling Yue, and Ling Yue let him go.
Later, she was also sweeping the snowflakes from his braid.
"Brother, look, the Marquis of Tubo is really blessed!"
"No, everyone says that this girl from the Central Plains is very shy. In my opinion, her boldness is not inferior to our girls from Dongling and Beiyan. Princess, don't you think so?"
Two voices came at the same time, the intersecting butterfly shadow was sighing with envy, and Wanyan Feiyang was teasing and testing.
Ling Zihan didn't answer, she pointed in the direction of the side courtyard and said to the female officer leading the way: "Miss Sui'er, let's go over there and have a look!"
Bypassing Ling Yue and the others, everyone went to the plum grove in the side courtyard, still laughing and chatting, and admired it for a while. Unknowingly, it was time to chat about dinner. The few of them were invited back to Anshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother.
After having a meal with a smile, it is considered that the Laba Festival has passed.
Originally, Ling Zihan was supposed to return home, but the Empress Dowager wanted her and Xuanyuan Huang to stay. If they stayed for a few more days, they would naturally not be able to leave. As for Murong Minyou and the others, they were still foreign guests after all, so it was inconvenient to stay.
In the palace, a car was sent back to the inn.
In the evening, Emperor Chen summoned Xuanyuan Huang, leaving Ling Zihan to talk to the Queen Mother.
As the two of them chatted, the topic was unknowingly led by the Queen Mother to the Marquis of Tubo.
"Girl Han, have you seen Tuoba Yu today?"
"Tuoba Yu?" Ling Zihan, who was eating sour plums, was stunned for a moment. The strange name appeared in his mind, and then he nodded and said: "We met twice, but we didn't talk much. What, why is the imperial grandmother doing this?
Word?"
"It's good to have seen him. What do you think of this child?"
The Queen Mother asked with a smile, as if chatting casually, but what was hidden in her eyes was not leisurely.
"It's okay." After thinking for a while, Ling Zihan murmured in her heart, why does the Queen Mother ask this when she has nothing to do? Then she remembered that Xuanyuan Huang once said that Tuoba Yu came to the palace to propose marriage, so she put it down
He picked up the sour plum in his hand and turned to the Queen Mother and said: "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't know what other people are like. After all, whether this person's character is noble or light."
You can't tell just by looking at them. But the Tuoba family is a Tubo noble, and Tuoba Yu, the marquis, is also well-known. He is young and promising, so he is not much different. Of course, the imperial grandmother
If you ask your grandson's daughter-in-law what little Marquis Tuoba looks like and what his figure is like, she can only say one partial answer: He is not as good as the prince from her family!"
Sticking out her tongue playfully, Ling Zihan's cute words amused the Queen Mother.
"Girl, let me ask you a question. Even though you have given so many answers, you still haven't forgotten to praise your prince. You are preparing to gnash the teeth of the Ai family!"
"Don't you dare!" Ling Zihan waved her hands repeatedly, making a look like I was afraid, and said with a smile: "The teeth of our ancestors are very noble. If my granddaughter-in-law acidifies them, let alone my father, I will not be able to bear them."
Even the prince will fight his grandson-in-law to the death."
"Haha, you!"
Sighing, the Queen Mother instructed Aunt Gui Fang to bring a bunch of scrolls and bring them to Ling Zihan. Ling Zihan looked at the pile of scrolls like a hill in front of her and was slightly startled and said: "Royal Grandmother, this is
What is it? Could it be that you have collected paintings by famous artists and asked your granddaughter-in-law to come and appreciate them for you?"
"Hey, the Ai family doesn't like those sour things. But if we have to say that they are famous paintings, they can be considered. They are all painted by palace painters, but they don't have the freehand landscapes you want to see. They are all pictures of beauties.
!” Raising her hand, the Queen Mother still held the white jade cup cover in her hand, just like that.
He casually pointed in the direction of Ling Zihan and teased her: "In terms of beauty, you are also one of the first-class beauties in our Western Dynasty. Among the beauties, you are definitely top-notch. Naturally, you have good taste.
.Come and see if there is any beauty here that can catch your eye."
"Why do you want to get in the eyes of your grandson? Is it possible that the imperial grandmother wants her to choose a concubine for the prince? This grandson must be bold enough to resist the imperial decree and disrespect her. She is still newly married. If you are so arrogant,
, but you bullied your grandson-in-law."
Ling Zihan knew quite well what the Queen Mother wanted her to do, but she still deliberately teased her and made a very plaintive look, making the Queen Mother laugh. She pointed at her and asked Grandma Guifang to pinch her ears.
.
"You girl, stop fooling around. If your words fall into Lao Jiu's ears, then the Ai family will become a sinner. By then, he will not come to the Ai family and cause trouble!" Waved her hand, the Queen Mother
He stopped the pile of scrolls again and ordered Sui'er Yue'er to help unfold them. "You two, go and help."
Spread it out and let Girl Han look over one by one." After a pause, he turned to Ling Zihan and said, "Girl, just take a look and help the Ai family choose. If you find the one you feel comfortable with, let Guifang bring it.
, let the Ai family take a look. The Ai family, I want to use your eyes to choose a wife for Tuoba Yu."
Sure enough.
Ling Zihan smiled faintly, approached the scroll, picked up one scroll, and asked Sui'er to unfold it. He held it up, looked at it, and then picked another scroll, and Yue'er unfolded it. Just like this, he opened the scroll one by one and compared it.
After looking at it, Ling Zihan picked out all the ones with closed eyes.
They were presented to the Queen Mother one by one. She listened to Grandma Gui Fang repeating the net worth of each girl in the painting in a calm tone. The family background was really very clear, and it was almost eight generations of their ancestors.
His grave was dug out to see where it was.
Listening to that boring thing, Ling Zihan was so sleepy that she wanted to yawn for a long time, but she kept holding it in. It wasn't until the Queen Mother finished reading the last picture that she suddenly said: "Girl Han, is there any one of these women who is you?"
What do you particularly like?"
"No." Ling Zihan told the truth, "My granddaughter-in-law has never liked dummies. Whatever is beautiful in the painting can be modified, but it is far more beautiful than the real thing. Moreover, my granddaughter-in-law heard that Tuoba Yu's mother
, is a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, as gentle as smoke, and very virtuous. In contrast, Lord Tuoba came to Beijing to propose marriage this time, and he also wanted to marry a woman who was as gentle and virtuous as his mother."
"Oh? Then you are saying that none of the people here are gentle and virtuous?" The Queen Mother's eyes darkened, and she looked at Ling Zihan with a half-smile, as if she liked what she said and was looking forward to an answer.
Ling Zihan shook her head and whispered: "That's not the case. Imperial Grandma, earlier, my grandson's daughter-in-law had never set foot in the land of the Western Dynasties. How did the people of the Western Dynasty spread rumors about my grandson's daughter-in-law? She was a witch, a bloodthirsty demon, and ugly.
A silent witch. But after meeting her grandson-in-law, does the Imperial Grandmother feel that her grandson-in-law is still the witch everyone thinks she is?"
"Of course not. The Ai family understands, but today, no matter what, you have to give the Ai family an answer. Do you have any suitable candidates that you would like to recommend? After all, you are also a lady from a well-known family in the capital. Naturally, you will not be interested in young ladies from other families.
You will have some understanding.”
No one knows what the Queen Mother is planning in her heart. Even Ling Zihan is only halfway there.
After thinking for a while, she said: "My granddaughter-in-law has only just entered the capital, and she doesn't have close contacts with the ladies from various families in the capital, so I don't know much about it. But my grandson-daughter-in-law does have a candidate who can be recommended to the Queen Mother."
"Who? The girl you brought into the palace today?"
"Yes, she is the second daughter of the Ling family, Ling Yue, who is eighteen years old. She is waiting for marriage and is of marriageable age." Looking at the smile on the Queen Mother's face, Ling Zihan answered a little cautiously.
The Queen Mother pondered, looking down at Ling Zihan, as if she wanted to read something from her eyes. After a long time, she nodded and said: "I have seen that girl before. She has a dignified appearance, is very polite, and is a good girl.
But this status is a bit low after all. However, Girl Han, you have never gotten along well with the Ling family, so why did you recommend this child to the Ai family? It seems that you must have interacted with her.
"
"The Imperial Grandmother is very aware of everything and her grandson daughter-in-law does not dare to show favoritism. Sister Ling Yue and her grandson daughter-in-law are indeed on good terms at home. The sister has an indifferent temperament and is very open-minded about everything. My grandson's daughter-in-law is ostracized everywhere in the house, but she is the only one.
I also brought my granddaughter-in-law with me
Like sisters. Therefore, the granddaughter-in-law believes that Ling Yue, who has experienced all kinds of things, is more suitable to marry far away than any other rich lady. Moreover, when she came to the palace today to pay her respects to the imperial grandmother, the granddaughter-in-law and the prince spoke together.
Mr. Hou touched one
Just then, Lord Tuoba saw that the prince and his grandson-in-law were coming to pay their respects. He was afraid that sister Lingyue would be bored, so he invited her to enjoy the snow with her. Later, when the royal grandmother was resting, we met two more people in the plum garden.
I saw from a distance, Tuoba Hou Yeji
In order to be considerate of Sister Ling Yue, I took a detour and left. When I came back, I spent some time alone with my sister, and then I learned from my sister that Lord Tuoba had confessed his feelings to her. It turned out that the two of them were together.
It’s love at first sight!”
Raising her head, Ling Zihan looked at the silent Queen Mother, suddenly stood up, slowly lowered her arms, and said sincerely: "Royal Grandmother, instead of giving him a person whom the Marquis doesn't care about at all, it would be better to give him a thoughtful gift.
Firstly, it will complete the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and secondly, it will allow the Marquis to continue to serve us.
The granddaughter-in-law believes that the status of sister Ling Yue’s mother is not important. Since they are getting married, they will definitely be named princess or princess, given a royal surname, and will marry on behalf of the Tian family. As for Prime Minister Ling, he is a very popular minister. If there is
Such an honor can also be used to appease him and show the emperor's favor - it's so majestic!"
Her eyes were filled with perseverance, and the perseverance in her heart was indeed going to cut off Ling Xiang's path...
