"Rumours, what kind of rumors?" Song Zi said, "I'm staying in the capital, and I haven't heard any rumors that are not good for my sister."

He has always arranged for his subordinates to always pay attention to the public opinion in the capital, and to know what they see. Smart people are good at capturing enough useful information from the ever-changing wind direction. The person in the Golden Temple, a smile or a word on his face, will be ignored. Break it down into a single word, and dig out the meaning behind it.

The relevant public opinion in the Zuoxiang Mansion is the focus of monitoring requested by Song Zi. If there are really rumors that are unfavorable to his sister, the people below should report to him as soon as possible.Or is it that his subordinates are not doing well, and it is time to rectify.

Princess Ming'an shook her head: "It's not bad rumors, it's all about complimenting your elder sister, the praise is so extravagant, it's almost like saying that your elder sister is a fairy."

"Isn't it good to praise her? My sister has always been very fond of it. It would be great if my sister would switch with me. This is the truth, it can't be called a rumor."

If it was just a compliment, Song Zi could understand why the people below did not report it. Unlike him, Song Jing was well-known and she was a typical example of a noble woman with both talent and beauty.One day the wind direction in the capital changed and started to pour dirty water on Song Jing, and the people below would report to him.

"It's not as good as what you said." Although Song Jing has always been confident and generous.But being praised so bluntly by close family members, I still feel a little embarrassed.

"My sister is smart and beautiful, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although the embroidery skills are a bit poor, our family can't afford to hire a good embroidery lady." For the noble ladies of Kyoto, Having a good embroiderer is just icing on the cake, and if you don't have it, it's all right.

His elder sister learned how to manage a large house. She can settle accounts, employ people, know how to do business, and be a housewife.

Song Zi has always felt that his older sister is worthy of someone better, but it is difficult for a person to fight against the same era and society. His elder sister likes children very much, and she also looks forward to being a successful mother, so Song Zi He will not use the way of later generations to deliberately guide his elder sister, and fully respect every choice made by the other party from the heart.

It can be said that Princess Ming'an has heard compliments since she was a child, that is, when she first married Song Mingcheng, she was pissed off by some high-married little sisters for a while.But in the end, as Song and Ming Chengguan became more and more powerful, this kind of yin and yang voice gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by praise that could make people feel high.Regardless of whether it's true or false, these people will definitely praise her, Song Mingcheng, and her sons and daughters in different ways in front of her.

Because many people praised her, she took it for granted, so she didn't care at first:

"Your sister is excellent, and I think it's normal for many people to praise her, but I also know that no matter how good a person is in this world, it is impossible for everyone to like her. People who used to hate your sister, suddenly Saying good things about your sister behind her back, do you think it's okay?"

Song Zi cooperated and said: "It's not right." He would confront his elder sister in the face, basically his elder sister's opponent, and his parents also opposed the leftist faction.People who have plans for you praise you for being normal, and those who have enemies with you praise you, there must be a conspiracy behind it.Although his elder sister is good, she doesn't have the halo of the heroine that everyone loves in the book.

"That's right." Princess Ming'an gave her son an approving look. As expected of her son, he is so smart, "I don't think it's right for my mother. So people suppressed the rumors, but they couldn't suppress them. Instead, they became more and more serious." more intense."

Princess Ming'an glanced at her daughter: "Didn't I go to Master Qingdeng to tell your sister's fortune in the early years, the master said that your sister has the fate of a phoenix, I had planned to send your sister into the palace at the beginning , but in the past two years, knowing what happened to those women back then, Wei Niang has completely dispelled this idea, and it is absolutely impossible to do anything to promote rumors."

Song Jing held Princess Ming'an's hand: "Mother, you are my own mother, and my daughter knows that you are dedicated to me."

"Mother, I mean, is there a possibility that sister's rumors can't be suppressed, but dad is behind the scenes? He wants to create momentum for sister so that she can become queen."

No wonder Song Zi thinks this way, his father is indeed a courtier with a strong desire for power, he looks gentle and elegant, but in the depths of his eyes is the ambition that cannot be concealed, and it is normal to have ambition. Yes, few officials hope that they will not do well, and everyone is desperately trying to climb up.

"Nonsense! Unfilial son, speak ill of me in front of your sister and mother!" Zuo Xiang also rushed over, just in time to hear the conversation between the mother and son outside the door, and heard the unfilial son slandering himself again, so hurried Jumping out to clarify to himself, he was really angry and funny when he heard this.He has already worshiped the prime minister, so he doesn't need to rely on his daughter to gain glory and wealth.

Song Zi cast a faint look: That's right, you are this kind of person.The most troublesome thing in this family is his own father.His father dared to disregard the safety of his family and rebel, so there was nothing he couldn't do.

The latter was so angry with his eyes, what a shame!Why did he just hit the bastard with a feather duster just now?

Princess Ming'an said two good words on behalf of her husband: "This has nothing to do with your father. I thought so too at the beginning. When I came back, I had a fight with him. He said he didn't do it himself. I believe it. You Father, he used all his connections to investigate that day, it was your father's former rivals who did it. They even hypocritically handed over the papers, advocating your sister in front of the emperor, insisting on sending your sister to the palace to suffer. "

Princess Ming An spoke, tears streaming down her face: "Your elder sister was young before, didn't she happen to miss two drafts, she is almost old now, I didn't plan to let her go this time. Once you go, you can talk to your aunt and grandma and find a way to brush it off without any pain. But they handed over the booklet, and your sister will not go through such a process when the time comes."

The draft is usually held every three to five years, and the general election is to select unmarried women of the right age from the people.Family members of officials, as long as they meet the age requirements and are not engaged, they have to enter the primary election.However, the emperor generally doesn't care so much. This kind of draft is presided over by the queen mother, empress, and noble concubine.Now there is no queen in the emperor's palace, and there are no other noble concubines, so the concubine will arrange it.

As long as the emperor doesn't open his mouth to keep people, if his own daughter doesn't want to go in, if he thinks about it a little bit, he can be eliminated in the first round.Princess Ming'an has a cousin aunt who is a concubine in the palace, if she really wants to hold a talent show, she can do something.

It has been ten years since the emperor ascended the throne. Not long after he ascended the throne for the first time, the palace arranged a small-scale draft. That time it was done by the regent. He went out, but the regent sent a lot of people in.

Under normal circumstances, when a beautiful girl enters the palace, she will choose to be over 13 years old. The little girl is about to have menarche and has the ability to give birth.After all, the purpose of the emperor's selection of concubines is to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family and continue the blood of the Sima family.At that time, the emperor was sixteen, and Princess Ming'an's son and daughter were only eight years old, and they were still young, so she never thought about it.

The first time I couldn't reach it, and after four or five years, Song Jing's age was appropriate. As a result, the regent who controlled the government in the past was gone, and the queen mother was gone.The son of heaven took the reason of keeping filial piety for his mother and stopped a draft. Song Jing just missed this time at the right age.

In the whole world, could it be that the best girl in the world, no matter whether the emperor likes it or not, should enter the palace as a concubine, and Song Jing's age is just in time for the final round of the draft.

"They did this because they wanted to use your sister as a target. Our family is simple, where did we learn such insidious things? At the beginning, my idea now taught your sister to be too upright. It will take a while I don't know how to teach you, if you really enter the palace, you will be calculated to have no bones left."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and she lost her ladylike demeanor, and she began to scold coquettishly: "You said that old man was dismissed from his official position because he offended the emperor. His majesty let him go home at a very old age." If you get grandson, isn't that what makes him happy? An old man in his 70s and [-]s, he doesn't have daughters and granddaughters, he is so vicious to other people's daughters, he can't deal with your father, so he will take your sister, woo woo woo... ... My son, why did he offend such a group of villains."

Two lines of tears kept falling from Princess Ming'an's glamorous face, and the tears fell more and more. It was as if the reservoir had opened its gates to release the flood directly.

Song Mingcheng couldn't bear the heartbroken crying of his lovely wife, so he hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears for Princess Ming'an: "Don't cry, Ma'am, I'm solving this matter, Jing'er got married, so naturally There is no need to enter the palace."

It is difficult to completely stop the rumors. These people are saying good things and gilding Song Jing. It is impossible for them to stop the rumors and pour dirty water on their daughter.The countermeasure is naturally to get married earlier. Although the emperor is violent, he will not rob his own courtiers' wives.The Regent did this kind of thing back then, and the current Holy Majesty should hate this matter deeply.

Song Mingcheng looked at his son, and said earnestly: "Lu Shanqing is not that good, but he is indeed the most suitable so far."

This child really can't speak. As a father, he naturally weighed and planned carefully, how could he be willing to push his daughter into the fire pit.

Song Zi asked him: "Does Lu Shanqing like my sister?"

Song Mingcheng said proudly: "Your sister is so nice, naturally no one would dislike her."

How can there be so many people who fall in love at first sight and then fall in love deeply, most of them get along slowly after getting married, and love each other.As long as the character passes the test, it may be a little lighter and not so vigorous, but life will still be comfortable after all.

The head of the family made the final decision: "At such an old age, you are still fooling around like a child. It is not up to you to make decisions about your sister's marriage. This matter is so settled. I will discuss it in a few days Go into the palace and ask His Majesty for an imperial decree, the marriage bestowed by the emperor, even if your father and I have misunderstood it, I am not afraid of Lu Shanqing's recklessness."

"Since a marriage can be given, is there no other suitable person in the world? I have to find Lu Shanqing, even if he can't like sister in his life, he will like someone else in the future."

It's not that there are others, but there are not many people who have such suitable conditions and don't make Song Jing feel disgusted.

"You have to say that you counted it again." After living for so long, Song Mingcheng never knew that his youngest son was capable of fortune-telling.

The reason Song Zi gave was really inappropriate, it was like a child who didn't want his sister to marry off, so he messed around.

Song Jing pursed her lips. In fact, she didn't really want to rush her marriage, but she also knew that if she didn't want to enter the palace, she had to settle the matter as soon as possible. In such a short time, she had to choose One, you can't pick and choose slowly.

This world is always harsh on women, and it's not easy to get along with each other. After a long delay, she was said to be promiscuous.Song Jing said: "A Fang, I don't hate him."

Entering the palace, dying, marrying Lu Shanqing, dying, it seems that there is a hand in the middle who has arranged everything, Song Jing's fate is fixed, the fate of their family is fixed, no one can escape death, Song Zi did that in private Many, how willing to accept fate.

He didn't control his emotions well, he punched the table, and directly punched a hole in the table, which shocked the whole family.

Song Zi's mind became hot: "Whoever said that a suitable candidate cannot be found in a short time, I will know a more suitable candidate."

Princess Ming An hiccupped: "Who?"

"Director of the Trial and Criminal Division, Ling Yi."

Hearing this name, Song Mingcheng almost slipped his feet.

"What nonsense are you kidding?"

"I think it's very appropriate. Who is Lu Shanqing? Someone who is not important to His Majesty. Even if the marriage is settled, if rumors spread that sister is the Phoenix's life." He said, Ling Yi is different. Yes, he is young, has a good-looking face and a good figure, and is deeply trusted by the emperor. His wife, His Majesty will not take away the beauty of others. "

Song Zi changed the topic: "Mother, can you guarantee that the master who told my sister's fortune back then would not tell outsiders that my sister has the fate of the Phoenix?"

Dragon and phoenix, dragon and phoenix, those who have the life of the phoenix are the life of the queen, and the queen can only marry the emperor. Which man in the world dares to marry a woman who is the life of the queen.

Princess Ming'an muttered: "Grandmaster Qingdeng is an eminent monk, so he wouldn't do such a thing. And those people definitely don't want your sister to be a queen, so how could they help spread such rumors."

"Is it so easy to be the queen of a tyrant? What if they use this method to make the emperor misunderstand our family and think that daddy did it."

Normal people would think, how can an opponent splash dirty water, and say good things to their enemies. Song Jing's good reputation must be blown by their Song family.The emperor is moody, and if they brag so much, they may not be able to get what they want, but it may be counterproductive.

Song Zi said, "If I said that when I was eight years old, I dreamed that my sister became a queen, and then our whole family would be ransacked."

Song Zi couldn't pretend anymore, it was time for a showdown with his family.
