Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 100: Mother-in-law
Queen Qiao sighed for a moment, then cheered up and smiled: "No matter what, your grandfather and grandmother always love you. Don't alienate them."
Li Jing nodded with a smile.
Queen Qiao smiled again: "You don't have to worry about things like recruiting. Just wait until you marry Miss Lu Si."
Mentioning Lu Mingyu, Li Jing's eyes lit up a bit: "Thank you mother."
Queen Qiao is also a visitor, how can she not see the joy in her son's eyes. He couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "Your grandmother said something right. A thousand good things are not as good as your heart. You like Miss Lu Si. If you marry her in the future, you will have a good life."
That Fourth Miss Lu is not a soft and easy-going temperament.
This sentence, Queen Qiao did not say it, and showed it in her eyes.
Li Jing smiled meaningfully: "My mother doesn't have to worry about me. Even if she is angry, she will only act against others, not against me."
Queen Qiao suppressed the worries in her heart and echoed with a smile: "I hope so."
Li Jing smiled but said nothing.
"Report to the Empress," Cai Lan smiled and reported: "The Empress Dowager sent a message asking the Empress to go to Shouning Palace."
Empress Dowager Zhao doesn't pay much attention to Queen Qiao on weekdays. It is rare to take the initiative to call today, and it must be something important.
Queen Qiao thought for a moment, and then guessed one or two.
She got up with a smile: "Bengong will go to Shouning Palace."
……
Before a cup of tea, Queen Qiao entered the Shouning Palace and smiled and greeted her: "My daughter-in-law has seen her mother."
The Empress Dowager Zhao swept her eyes and smiled lightly: "The Queen is not polite, sit down and talk!"
The Empress Dowager Zhao is fifty-eight years old this year, approaching her sixtieth year. However, Empress Dowager Zhao always pays attention to maintenance, and her slightly gray hair must be dyed black. I dress up every day, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes and brows are mostly covered by powder.
A graceful empress dowager.
On the outside, it doesn't look like a mean person.
Actually, Empress Dowager Zhao's reputation inside and outside the palace is not very good. She is neither shrewd nor powerful, but she is still partial, blindly partial to Concubine Qin, but she is lukewarm to her serious daughter-in-law, Queen Qiao.
Perhaps, most of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like this. I can't say the specific reason, that is, I don't see you well, and you don't see me as happy and comfortable.
Queen Qiao was accustomed to her mother-in-law's indifference and partiality. After thanking her, she sat down.
Empress Dowager Zhao didn't have to go around and ask directly: "How do you plan to handle the marriage of the three princes?"
Sure enough, it was for the marriage of the princes.
Queen Qiao replied respectfully: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs completed the construction of the Prince's Mansion two years ago. Now that the princes have decided on marriage, the daughter-in-law plans to order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to renovate and relocate the three Prince's Mansion. "
This also has precedents to follow.
One month before the first prince got married, he moved out of the palace and moved into the prince's mansion. At the time of the big wedding, Mrs. Liang passed the door to marry the eldest prince concubine.
The three brothers of the second prince got married, and naturally they also got married in the prince's mansion.
The Prince's Palace was built several years ago. After going out of the palace gate, you will arrive by horse-drawn carriage and tea kung fu. Several palaces of princes, two palaces of princesses, and other close relatives of the royal family also lived near the palace.
Empress Qiao said that she had three brothers. Empress Zhao was quite satisfied, and her voice softened a bit: "The second prince and the third prince have all reached the age of marriage. The fourth prince is two years younger, and the wedding date should be one or two late. Years, don't be in a hurry. The second prince's mansion and the third prince's mansion will be cleaned up first."
Empress Dowager Zhao doesn't want to see her daughter-in-law, but the princes are all her grandsons. Even though he is partial to the fourth prince, he is also very concerned about the marriage of the second prince and the third prince.
Queen Joe responded with a smile.
The Empress Dowager Zhao asked in detail about the dowry.
Queen Qiao said calmly: "My daughter-in-law has also carefully thought about accepting the betrothal. The eldest prince is a concubine, and he went to Liang's house to deliver the betrothal that day. The total price of the betrothal gift was about 10,000 taels."
"The daughter-in-law thought, the third prince and the fourth prince are the same as the eldest prince. The second prince is a direct descendant, so he should be 30% higher than the concubine prince. Therefore, the daughter-in-law will prepare the betrothal gift according to this standard. ?"
There is a difference between the descendants and concubines.
Queen Joe speaks rightly.
The Queen Mother Zhao listened, but it was slightly harsh.
What happened to the concubine?
She was also the eldest daughter of the Zhao family back then. The head of the Li family died of his original wife and married her concubine as his successor. Fortunately, the deceased first wife only gave birth to two daughters, and within two years of her entering the door, she gave birth to a son Li Yuan.
She is a concubine, and her son is the eldest son of the Li family. When Li Yuan was sixteen, he married the daughter of the Qiao family as his wife.
When did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go wrong?
Probably the proud and reserved daughter of the Qiao family is a bit dazzling, making her mother-in-law less happy. She was cold and critical, and Qiao Shi had to endure it, and there was inevitably some resentment in her heart.
Especially after the Qin family passed the door. She sympathized with her aunt and niece, and she was especially fond of her fourth grandson. The daughter-in-law Qiao was dissatisfied, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more estranged.
However, she didn't care whether she was estranged or not.
As a mother-in-law, she has the upper hand over her daughter-in-law. She is the empress dowager, and Queen Qiao can only respectfully make concessions and compromise.
The Empress Dowager Zhao glanced at Queen Qiao and said lightly: "The queen is not afraid of losing the reputation of being unkind to her first-class mother?"
Queen Qiao sneered in her heart.
Empress Dowager Zhao is rarely picky about what she does.
Queen Qiao replied calmly: "If the dowry gifts are the same and the descendants are the same, it would be a joke in the eyes of people who pay attention to etiquette."
The Queen Mother Zhao's eyes were slightly cold, and she snorted from her nose: "The Ai family is old, and I don't know what jokes are not jokes. The Ai family just loves a few grandsons, who are obviously brothers and sisters of the direct relatives, but they have to be separated. Three, six, nine and so on. There is no need for others to instigate, there will be a gap between the brothers first."
The Empress Dowager Zhao deliberately found fault, and spoke quite harshly.
Queen Qiao's heart was full of anger, but her face did not show it~IndoMTL.com~ smiled and replied: "The mother-in-law said so, the daughter-in-law doesn't know what to say. If it is just food and clothing, the daughter-in-law will They will be treated equally. In the case of betrothal gifts, it cannot be done like this. Otherwise, if the imperial censors in the court heard the news and impeached the third prince and the fourth prince, how could this palace bear it?”
The Queen Mother Zhao frowned and gave Queen Qiao a deep look.
Queen Joe sat upright, not moving.
Other things can be compromised, but it is about the dignity and decency of the son-in-law, and must not be compromised.
The Empress Dowager Zhao saw that Queen Qiao did not enter the oil and salt, and she felt annoyed in her heart, and said lightly: "Ai's family is a little tired, the Queen does not need to accompany Ai's family here, let's retire first!"
Queen Qiao respectfully got up and retire.
When Empress Qiao left, Empress Dowager Zhao snorted heavily: "What a majestic empress!"
The dissatisfaction in his tone almost gushed out.
