Chapter 70 Finger Marriage(2/3)
Ji Xiaotang still lowered his head, as if he hadn't looked at the things in the tray at all. He just raised his hand and touched it casually, and then touched a jade pendant in his hand.
"The Lord of Anle County chose Prince An." Concubine Zheng's eyes were pointed, and she saw Ji Xiaotang holding a white jade ball of dragon pendant.
Empress Dowager Han also laughed.
"You little girl, you have some thoughts." It means that Ji Xiaotang did not choose randomly, but chose King An.
Ji Xiaotang didn't argue if she said this. Because she knew that no matter what she said or did now, the news would spread, and she chose Qin Zhen.
That's right, she really chose Qin Zhen.
"Summon King An to the palace immediately. I don't know how happy he will be when he knows this news!" Empress Dowager Han said with a laugh, "To be honest, I am a prince, I have been very blessed. I have already had two beauties before, and now Xiaotang has been added. This blessing has actually come to him."
When Empress Han said this, Empress Han and Concubine Zheng also agreed to make up for the fun.
At this time, Ji Xiaotang didn't have to say anything.
"But I'm not afraid of any of you saying I'm partial. Among these girls, the only one I like the most is Xiaotang. Xiaotang. If you go to Prince An's Mansion in the future, if you don't feel good, just come to the palace and tell me that the Ai family will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Ji Xiaotang immediately agreed, obviously she valued Empress Dowager Han's promise very much.
Empress Dowager Han became happier.
"In recent years, Xiaotang's marriage has made me most happy." Empress Dowager Han was indeed very happy, or proud.
Manipulating her marriage was the most proud thing in the past few years. Ji Xiaotang secretly explained the words of Empress Dowager Han.
Empress Dowager Han said that she would make decisions for Ji Xiaotang in the future, not just empty words. She immediately gave Ji Xiaotang a gold medal.
"With this gold medal, you can enter the palace no matter when you go, no one will stop you." Empress Dowager Han told Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang carefully put the gold medal away.
"The Empress Dowager really loves County Lord Anle as her biological daughter." Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "After this young daughter gets married, she can't help but feel a little chubby. She also has to go back to her parents' home in the middle of the night. The Empress Dowager thought about County Lord Anle very thoughtful."
This sentence made Queen Mother Han laugh again.
Qin Zhen came soon and happily accepted the order and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Han.
"The mother really loves me the most."
"I'll be good at it when I get it." Empress Dowager Han angrily said to Qin Zhen.
"My mother, since the mother pointed Xiaotang in marriage to me, my son-in-law still has one more thing to ask for the mother."
"What's the matter?" asked Empress Dowager Han.
"It's the business of the two concubines, I just want to..."
Ji Xiaotang immediately knew what Qin Zhen was going to say. She coughed dryly, then stood up, and happened to stop Qin Zhen's words.
"Please rest assured by the Queen Mother, I will definitely live in harmony with the two concubines." Ji Xiaotang's words were not so much about Empress Dowager Han, but rather about Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang in surprise.
Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen needs the power of the Zheng family and the Song family, and she also needs it.
They need the power of the Zheng family and the Song family.
This is not the women in the back home who compete for favor. What they want to compete for is bigger things and they have bigger goals.
From the moment he picked up the white jade pendant, Ji Xiaotang was no longer Ji Xiaotang.
Empress Dowager Han was stunned for a moment, then nodded, praising Ji Xiaotang as a virtuous woman. Before she could officially become Princess An, she already had the demeanor of Princess An.
"You are still lucky." Empress Dowager Han then said to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen naturally laughed.
"You just said the two concubines. What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Han asked Qin Zhen again.
Qin Zhen glanced at Ji Xiaotang quickly and spoke again, naturally he would not say that he would withdraw the two concubines.
"I want to ask the Queen Mother to give me a good day."
Qin Zhen wanted to marry a concubine in a row and take two concubines, so the time must be arranged naturally.
"...I can't let Xiaotang down." Qin Zhen also said. Ji Xiaotang is the official concubine, and he loves in his heart.
It’s okay to have a good time when the concubine enters the house, but Ji Xiaotang does have to choose one when the concubine enters the house. Even if Qin Zhen doesn’t ask about Empress Dowager Han, Empress Dowager Han has long had a suggestion on this.
"I have to ask Xiaotang's family to prepare. According to my opinion, it is time for Xiaotang to celebrate her birthday. It will be scheduled for the second day of the eighth month." Empress Dowager Han told Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang that she had asked someone to check the almanac. The second day of the eighth month was a good zodiac day for marriage.
It has been June now, and it takes less than two months to early August. Qin Zhen felt that the time was a bit long, but Ji Xiaotang felt a little hasty.
She thought that Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er would definitely think so.
But since Empress Dowager Han had decided and Qin Zhen had no objection, Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"Xiaotang is going home to prepare for marriage, so I won't stay with Xiaotang for more." At the same time, Empress Dowager Han finally agreed to Ji Xiaotang's request to leave the palace and go home.
Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang left Empress Dowager Han together. Qin Zhen did not avoid it and followed Ji Xiaotang into the side hall.
Madam Fang wanted to serve, but was also sent away by Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen did not use hints, but almost made it clear. His relationship with Ji Xiaotang is now different, and he can't wait to say a few words to Ji Xiaotang.
Although Madam Fang wanted to monitor the two of them, she had to leave with a smile.
"Xiaotang," Qin Zhen carefully looked at Ji Xiaotang's face, his tone was a little anxious, "About Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue, Xiaotang, you don't have to force it, you will cover it all with me. In less than a day, I will give you a satisfactory result."
Qin Zhen’s meaning was to worry that Ji Xiaotang had to hold on in front of Empress Dowager Han just now.
No matter what, Ji Xiaotang is also a young girl who is still young and unmarried.
Ji Xiaotang was calm and took the teacup sent by Xiu'er and gave it to Qin Zhen with his own hands.
"Prince, I said that in front of the Queen Mother, without any slightest force." He gave Qin Zhen a cup of tea, Ji Xiaotang took another cup and took a sip. "I am satisfied with the prince's intention of treating me."
When Ji Xiaotang had a vague premonition in her heart that she might marry Qin Zhen, she never had the idea of monopolizing Qin Zhen. Even if Qin Zhen had a special liking for her, or they were in love with each other, as Qin Zhen had almost no such possibility.
It would be fine if Qin Zhen was a prince of Xiaoyao, but Qin Zhen was not.
Thinking of two love, love, and joy, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but think of Qi Younian again, and her heart was a little ache. If the partner who got married to her was Qi Younian, she wouldn't have been so generous. That day, in front of Qin Min's spirit, she saw Qi Younian's mother. Qi Younian's father had a concubine, and they were all concubines who were carried after giving birth to a son.
At that time, Ji Xiaotang knew that Qi Younian's mother was not in good health back then. After giving birth to a daughter, she had never been pregnant for several years. For the sake of her offspring, she chose several complications for Qi Younian's father.
The Weiwu Marquis Mansion is a family of military generals, and the more sons the better. Although every marquis of all generations have married the royal family and is very loving to the original wife of the royal family, there are many concubines because they want more and stronger sons.
Qi Younian will inherit the Weiwu Hou Mansion afterwards.
At that time, Ji Xiaotang felt a little disgusted and was thinking about what to do in the future. As long as she was the only one, there would be no problem with Qi Younian, but the pressure on the Weiwu Hou Mansion would be quite high.
At that time, she was thinking too much.
Thinking about this, Ji Xiaotang's mouth slightly raised.
"Xiaotang..." Qin Zhen didn't know what Ji Xiaotang was thinking, but when he saw her lowered her head, he called out for a while.
"The prince, Prince An, and Ayou are fighting to marry me in front of the empress dowager. The court and the country have already discussed me. Now the prince wants to reject the two concubines for me, but I am afraid that before I enter the gate of Prince An's mansion, I will be the most jealous woman and beauty in the world."
Ji Xiaotang said this sentence with a smile.
"Xiaotang, we don't need to care about those meaningless discussions. If you are unhappy, I will immediately find a way to calm down the comments." Qin Zhen said immediately.
Ji Xiaotang gently placed the teacup on the kang table.
"It's better to lose things like this than to block it. Besides, I didn't take it to heart."
"The prince is not an ordinary person, the prince and me are not an ordinary couple..."
Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little sensitive to Ji Xiaotang's words.
"Xiaotang, I would rather be an ordinary couple with you."
"Prince, you misunderstood." Ji Xiaotang immediately knew what Qin Zhen was worried about, but he did not explain much. "The Zheng family and the Song family could make their daughter accused of the prince, but they thought they were optimistic about the prince and wanted to rely on the prince. If the prince rejected the two concubines, not only would he keep the two families out of the house, but would also form two enemies from now on."
"The prince should also know that in the current situation, he can only advance but not retreat. The prince needs the Zheng family and the Song family, and I also need it."
To accomplish what she wants to accomplish, Qin Zhen’s current strength is not enough. Not to mention two concubines, even if there are two more, Ji Xiaotang welcomes him as long as the other party has reliable strength behind him.
Therefore, what she said in front of Empress Dowager Han was completely heartfelt. She would definitely get along well with Zheng Zi and Song Xinyue.
"Xiaotang..." Ji Xiaotang was so excited that Qin Zhen was a little excited.
Excited, Qin Zhen held Ji Xiaotang's hand.
Ji Xiaotang subconsciously dodged for a moment, and let Qin Zhen hold it.
There are some things she has to face.
She and Qin Zhen are consistent in their overall goals. Thinking of this, their overall goals have always been the same.
Maybe, there is really a so-called destiny.
At this moment, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but have such an idea in her heart. But this idea did not stay in her heart for long.
The two of them naturally had a lot to say, but it was not suitable to say it in the Cining Palace.
"From now on, we have a lifetime. Xiaotang, I wish I could pick you up by the mansion immediately." This was what Qin Zhen said to Ji Xiaotang when he left.
When Qin Zhen left, Ji Xiaotang called Madam Cheng and the maids he served to come to pack up, and then went to say goodbye to Empress Dowager Han.
