Chapter 246 246: Pick a better one
There are still lengths for the five fingers to stick out. Xiangye dotes on Aunt Qiu, so he naturally wants to give her the best. It is impossible to surpass his wife in terms of status, so he will subsidize him in money. As a concubine, he will find her A noble husband.
But no matter what, Mr. Xiang has always respected and loved his wife. No matter how much he likes Aunt Qiu, he has never been too much. So over the years, although Mrs. Qiu has been at odds with each other, she has never been unable to tolerate Aunt Qiu.
Firstly, because Aunt Qiu never acted domineeringly against his wife because of the favor of the prime minister, and secondly, the wife also knew that if one Aunt Qiu was killed, another one might not be as safe as Aunt Qiu.
As for the other aunts in the mansion, they really lived a lower-key life than the other.
"Hmph!" Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, her face was cold.
Because of this, she couldn''t ask Liu Anyu to marry the second prince.
Madam Liu ate something in a hurry, and then entered the palace in a carriage.
When Aunt Qiu heard Ai Xiang''s report, her heart rose into her throat. Liu Anyu didn''t fall asleep almost all night, and came to Aunt Qiu''s yard early in the morning. There was a sumptuous breakfast on the pear wood round table in the flower hall, and neither mother nor daughter stuttered.
Anxiously waiting, this waiting is one day.
At sunset, Mrs. Liu returned home with a slightly tired body.
Aunt Qiu wanted to rush to the main courtyard immediately, but she thought that she was too eager to go there without being summoned by his wife, and the food was too ugly, so she held back.
Later, I heard that my wife went back to the house and changed her clothes, and went to the study in the front yard to wait for the Prime Minister to come back.
Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu were simply restless.
As soon as Liu Xiang returned to the mansion, he saw the manager waiting at the door.
"Master Xiang, Madam returned home in the evening, and is waiting for you in the study."
When Liu Xiang heard the words, he didn''t care about changing his official uniform, and strode towards the study.
Pushing the door and entering, I saw Mrs. Liu sitting in an armchair drinking tea. Before Mrs. Liu got up to salute, Prime Minister Liu said: "Madam, what does your empress say when you enter the palace today?"
Mrs. Liu was blessed, and shook her head in embarrassment: "Master, I have tried my best, Concubine Shu is not satisfied with the birth date of the sixth girl, and today she sent me to the other girls in the mansion. Let Wang Momo take it to Xiangguo Temple together, and finally Wang Momo went back to the palace, took the master''s order to show the empress, and finally found that the fourth girl and the second prince''s horoscope are the most compatible, Shu Concubine Empress should even decide on the four. The girl is the second prince''s side concubine."
Liu Xiang looked at Mrs. Liu in shock, then frowned and said, "In terms of appearance and talent, Hui''er is not as good as Yu''er. Didn''t you tell your mother clearly?"
Mrs. Liu said: "Of course I talked to my mother, but my mother said that good looks are enough. As for talent, although it is a concubine, as the daughter of the prime minister, it is impossible to be as stupid as a pig, and marry a wife and a virtuous person. Since the fourth girl is destined to be destined to be with the second prince, it is destined, maybe only because of this fate, the second prince''s future road will be smoother, if she marries the sixth girl, it will be difficult and dangerous."
After hearing Madam Liu''s words, Liu Xiang frowned even deeper.
Thinking that he had promised Aunt Qiu not long ago, Concubine Shu decisively denied Yu''er in the blink of an eye, Liu Xiang felt like being slapped in the face, but he couldn''t refute it.
After all, he wants to plan for his daughter, and Concubine Shu also thinks about her son.
Besides, if Concubine Shu disagrees, do I have to break with her?
"The empress has made up her mind?" Liu Xiang asked.
Madam Liu sighed, nodded and said: "Well, what you mean by empress, is the daughter of the Liu family anyway, it doesn''t matter who we choose."
That''s what I said, but Yoo Sang always wanted to give Liu An Yu more and better.
"Forget it, let''s go to fourth girl, you can teach me a lesson later." Liu Xiang said with a tense expression.
No matter what, it was always his daughter who entered the second prince''s residence.
Madam Liu answered with her head bowed, a gloomy look flashed in her slightly restrained eyes.
"The concubine has resigned."
Liu Xiang nodded expressionlessly.
After standing in the study for a long time, he went to see Aunt Qiu.
When Aunt Qiu and Liu Anyu saw Xiang Liu, they couldn''t wait to greet him.
"Master Xiang, what''s the matter?" Aunt Qiu looked at Liu Xiang nervously and asked.
Liu Xiang''s face was a bit ugly: "The empress has chosen the fourth girl, and her birthday horoscope and the second prince are a match made in heaven."
When Aunt Qiu heard the words, there was a bang in her mind, and her mind went blank.
Liu Anyu''s face was as pale as paper, and her pitch-black eyes were as big as copper bells: "No...impossible, the empress obviously likes me, why did she choose Fourth Sister, it''s impossible..."
As she spoke, she burst into tears with a "wow", thinking that the wealth that she had at her fingertips fell on Liu Anhui''s head, Liu Anyu felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
Since she is going to lose the election, why give her hope.
Fortunately, I didn''t explicitly tell her that I would become the second prince''s side concubine at the beginning.
She always thought that she could be a side concubine, and she had fantasized about her future life more than once in her mind, but now she told her mother that she no longer wanted her, and chose Liu Anhui.
Aunt Qiu heard her daughter''s distressed and desolate cries, and hurriedly hugged her in her arms: "Miss Six, don''t be sad, you have nothing to do with the second prince, Xiangye will definitely choose a better one for you."
"Ummmmmmmmmmmm..." Better?
Is there a better husband than the second prince in the capital?
Could it be possible for the father to let another daughter of the Liu family enter the second prince''s mansion?
Concubine Shu''s use of her horoscope to talk about things is tantamount to cutting off her thoughts.
Liu Anyu just kept crying, Qi Qi Ai Ai''s cry was not unpleasant, it just made Liu Xiang a little distressed, after all, he talked too much and gave his daughter full of hope, but he didn''t want to make a mistake.
If he hadn''t pointed it out so bluntly at the beginning, maybe his daughter wouldn''t be so sad.
"Don''t worry, Yu''er, Dad will definitely pick you a good husband-in-law, marry you well, and make you a real wife." Liu Xiang comforted.
Liu Anyu buried her head on Aunt Qiu''s shoulder, sobbing weakly, but her heart was filled with hatred.
The best husband-in-law?
No matter how noble the status is, can there be noble concubines of the future emperor?
Aunt Qiu showed a forced smile at Xiang Liu, and said: "Master Xiang, Miss Six just can''t think about it for a while, the concubine will persuade her well, time is fate, it''s hers, no one can take it away, it''s not hers, take it away." Can''t take it either."
Liu Xiang heard the words, and looked at Aunt Qiu with relief: "You are a sensible person, and you should know that my love for Yu''er is true."
"Well, I know all about it, Mr. Xiang is busy with affairs, and you are so worried, isn''t it my fault?" Aunt Qiu said in a soft and pleasant voice.
"Yu''er is my daughter, I don''t worry about who cares." Liu Xiangdao: "But the concubine Shu is not willing, and I can''t force it. This matter is a foregone conclusion, and you don''t have any complaints. Anyway, for Madam''s sake I have tried my best on this matter, but even though she is Concubine Shu''s elder sister, she cannot control Concubine Shu''s thoughts."
Aunt Qiu smiled lightly and nodded: "I understand, so I don''t dare to complain."
