When Meng Qingqian said „helping”, the queen mother then felt that is not quite a little right. 在孟清浅说“成全”的时候,太后便感觉有点不太对劲。 This daughter's personality she most understood, when can „all want”, is „I all wants”. When can „following up a victory with hot pursuit”, certainly is „following up a victory with hot pursuit”. Needs „taking decisive measures” time, can without hesitation „taking decisive measures”. 这个女儿的性格她最了解,能“全都要”时,一定是“我全都要”。能“乘胜追击”时,一定是“乘胜追击”。需要“壮士断腕”的时候,一定会毫不犹豫地“壮士断腕”。 Even if falls into the hopeless situation, will find the way to nip the next meat on you. 哪怕是陷入绝境,也会想办法在你身上咬下一口肉来。 These years, let alone „helping”, was „puts your horse” not to say. 这么些年,别说“成全”,就是“放你一马”也没说过。 Today is when actually strange, treats He Yun Xiao and Nanzhu engagement, is indecisive, is „helping”, does not seem like usual her completely. 今天倒是奇怪,对待何云霄和南珠的婚约时,又是优柔寡断,又是“成全”,完全不像是平时的她。 Abatement traces, the queen mother have no reason not to feel right. 除却这种蛛丝马迹,太后心里也没理由地感觉不对。 She felt with the intuition, if complies with He Yuanhao today smoothly, marries Hou Residence to be the wife Nanzhu, after being clear, certainly will suffer a loss. 她凭直觉觉得,假如今天顺顺利利地答应何元豪,把南珠嫁到侯府去做正妻,清浅以后一定会吃大亏。 Although pondered with sane, in the clear method, supposed she must oppose with Nanzhu, Nanzhu is impossible to have a wee bit odds of success. 虽然用理智来思考,以清浅的手段,假设她要和南珠作对,南珠不可能有一丁点胜算。 But the queen mother does not have feeling of origin, oneself good daughter certainly unable to fight Nanzhu. 但太后就是没由来的觉得,自己的好女儿一定斗不过南珠。 This intuition lets her own a little surprise. 这种直觉让她自己都有点诧异。 First cannot comply with He Yuanhao in any case! 反正先不能答应何元豪！ Drag! 拖！ The queen mother is rubbing the temples, said lazy: „Labor is industrious.” 太后揉着太阳穴,慵懒道:“工勤。” When Li Gongqin as queen mother biological nephew, sister of the emperor biological cousin, in addition Daqi Ministry of Rites Shangshu of concurrent job, in addition concurrent job the father of Li Jin holds concurrent jobs again, the nature the rank highest queen mother follows the lead by brothers. 李工勤身为太后亲侄子,长公主亲表哥,加上兼职的大齐礼部尚书,再加上兼职之余再兼职的李进之父,自然以同气连枝又辈分最高的太后马首是瞻。 Sees the queen mother to call him, he stops chatting immediately, leaves ranks to bend the waist said submissively: „Feudal official.” 见太后叫他,他就立马停止说笑,出列弯腰拱手道:“臣在。” The queen mother continues to depend on the chair, is rubbing the temples, makes appearance that works with the heart to be nerve-racking. 太后继续靠在椅子上,揉着太阳穴,做出一副劳心伤神的样子。 Afterward, writing all over the scarlet folding booklet of gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family, gives the palace maid, after the smart palace maid receives the folding booklet, hands over to give Li Gongqin. 随后,把写满聘礼的大红折子,递给宫女,机灵的宫女接到折子后,又转手递给李工勤。 „Labor is industrious, gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family specification that the marriage sister of the emperor needs, I somewhat record am unclear. You as Ministry of Rites Shangshu, have to run the responsibility of etiquette. Takes the careful checkup this folding booklet, after checking, reports again to me.” “工勤,嫁娶长公主所需的聘礼规格,我有些记不清了。你身为礼部尚书,自有掌管礼法之责。把这折子拿回去仔细核对,核对好之后,再呈报给我。” The folding booklet to Li Gongqin on, everyone on the scene had not thought that has anything is not right. 折子到了李工勤手上,在场的所有人也没觉得有什么不对。 The queen mother has a bad memory, normal.

This matter had set, finally gives birth to „examination gift list” such a not too big nor too small trick. 只有何元豪娶儿媳心急。此事本已经定下,结果又生出“审查礼单”这样一个不大不小的幺蛾子。 Although examines the gift list unable to examine anything.

If the engagement does not have a reliable news, has towed, said that did not permit to tow not to have. 虽然审礼单是审不出什么东西来的。但久经沙场的何元豪明白,速战速决,迟则生变的道理。婚约若没个准信,一直拖下去,说不准就拖没了。 He Yuanhao thought early asked to bestow marriage is not simple, now looks, that's true. 何元豪早觉得求赐婚一事没那么简单,如今一看,确实如此。 On the side of him sighed accurate of intuition secretly, an attempt made the final effort. 他一边暗叹自己直觉的准确,一遍尝试做最后的努力。 „Li brother, may I ask to examine gift list a time, how long can need?” “李兄,敢问审查一次礼单,得需多长时间？” Li Gongqin with the scarlet folding booklet, said self-confidently: „Examination gift list folding booklet minor matter, even if hands over by my child Li Jin completes, still only takes one day.” 李工勤手拿大红折子,自信地说:“审查礼单折子这种小事,即便是交由我儿李进完成,也仅需一天。” He Yuanhao has naturally listened to the Li Jin given name, at this time one hear of Li Jin must examine again, said hastily: „Li Shangshu, this is gets married related to Hou Residence, the marital important matter of Hou Residence mistress candidate, please do it yourself ten million/countless. The work you take the trouble, this matter, even if Hou Residence owes you a favor.” 何元豪自然听过李进的大名,此时再一听李进要审,连忙道:“李尚书,这是有关侯府娶亲,侯府主母人选的婚姻大事,请您千万亲力亲为。劳你费心,此事,就算侯府欠你一个人情。” Li Gongqin complies saying: „Good, if I examine, the half day is enough.” 李工勤答应道:“好,若我来审,半日足以。” He Yuanhao one hear of half day, have not then said anything. 何元豪一听半日,便没说什么。 Oneself exhort personally, Ministry of Rites Shangshu examines personally, is related to the important matter of sister of the emperor marriage, the efficiency of half day conclusion is then quick. Only if queen mother wants to fudge, otherwise, does not have the accidental/surprised possibility decisively. 自己亲自嘱咐,礼部尚书亲自审查,事关长公主嫁娶的大事,半日便结束的效率已然很快。除非是太后本人想动手脚,不然,断然没有出意外的可能。 Is only looking at the attitude of queen mother, knows that she is glad to facilitate the engagement, even if she works not the common sense, is still insufficient to renege in an instant. 只瞧着太后的态度,也知道她乐得促成婚约,即便她做事并无常理,也不至于转眼变卦。 Let alone postpones for quite a while. 何况只是延后半天。 This matter is steady. 此事稳矣。 ...... …… Today's afternoon, to the Lin Xuan palace, and is no different. 今日的下午,对麟萱宫来说,并无什么不同。 Apricot and other palace maids, sprinkle with water and sweep the courtyard as usual, washes and starches the clothing, prepares the food...... 杏儿和其他宫女们,照例是洒扫院子,浆洗衣物,准备食材…… But the master in Lin Xuan palace, 而麟萱宫的主人, Nanzhu sister of the emperor Meng Qingrou, as usual, in afternoon calm warming Yangxia, coming out from palace.
