Chapter 18 The Zhang Brothers and Sisters
In order to be able to choose the Crown Princess, Xiao Jing replaced all her last savings with gorgeous clothes, leaving only half a month of rice and grain, which shows that she is determined to win the position of Crown Princess.
Xiao Jing's mother was born with a beautiful woman. She was familiar with various etiquettes in the General's Mansion of the Cavalry since she was young, so her family tutoring was naturally impeccable. Since Zhang Lihua chose her daughter-in-law, she planned to select the crown princess from all families across the country, rather than just the daughters of aristocratic families. So Xiao Jing should not worry about her background, and her self-confidence is even stronger.
This is exactly what Xiao Yi is worried about, because it is very possible to choose the Crown Princess based on his sister's conditions. However, he could not stop his sister from doing everything possible, so Xiao Yi could only hope that God would open his eyes and not let his sister be selected.
In the early morning, I can no longer see my sister's heroic appearance when she was practicing martial arts. Instead, she is wearing a swaying style and dancing. How can she describe her fairy-like posture and jade color?
Xiao Yi was so obsessed that he couldn't help but become jealous. It was really a blessing for many lifetimes to marry his sister.
Xiao Jing, who was practicing boudoir dance, glanced over and saw her younger brother looking dazed, and immediately laughed and said with a sweet smile: "Yi'er, is sister beautiful?"
Xiao Yi was awakened from his intoxication. He was very angry when he thought that his sister went to run for the Crown Princess without any concern for her objection. He immediately snorted and turned back to the room.
The siblings and brothers have been in a cold war for several days. This is the first time that Xiao Jing feels his brother's unhappiness. But Xiao Jing can't take the words of a three-year-old child to heart. As an adult, she has her own opinions.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but sigh, but continued to practice without any intention of remorse.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
On the issue of deposing the queen, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Kong put pressure on Xiao Mohe together. Among them, Concubine Kong gained Xiao Mohe's favor in dealing with the issue of Xiao Jing killing Kong Long, which made Zhang Lihua immediately worried.
In Chengxiang Hall, the Grand Minister of Taifu Temple who had just visited General Xiao Maha, who had just visited Xiao Maha, was reporting the situation to the imperial concubine Zhang Lihua.
This is Zhang Lihua's brother. He was a down-and-out military family, but he never thought that his sister would become more powerful once she was in power. He actually took the job of being a tycoon, a chore that could not be fatter than the fat. After several years, he has become fat, big heads, big ears and red faces, which is completely different from his skinny and bony image.
In order to win over Xiao Moha, Zhang Lihua tried to choose Xiao Jing, the daughter of Xiao Moha, as the crown princess, so as to completely pull Xiao Moha into her camp. Once successful, there will be no suspense about Zhang Lihua becoming the queen.
**It was with this mission to meet Xiao Maha.
However, Xiao Maha hated Chen Shubao very much in his heart. His refusal to rebel due to the name of loyalty and righteousness does not mean that he is willing to marry Chen Shubao.
When Xiao Mohe heard that Zhang Lihua wanted to marry, he refused on the spot.
**Returned without success and told Zhang Lihua truthfully about Xiao Maha's words.
When he learned that Xiao Mohe refused, Zhang Lihua, who was spoiled, couldn't bear to worry about his face. He stood upside down and said very annoyedly: "I don't know how to raise my tribute!"
** said worriedly: "Xiao Moha refused to marry us, and I'm afraid he planned to turn to Concubine Kong. With Kong Fan's support and Xiao Moha's military support, he would be sure to be made queen."
Zhang Lihua snorted coldly: "What if Concubine Kong becomes the queen? Shen'er has been made the crown prince and ascends the throne to the emperor in the future. This palace will still be the queen."
"My sister never thought that the emperor was moody. Today, he was deposed Yin and Shen, and tomorrow he might become another prince. If Concubine Kong was granted the title of queen, his right to speak would be of great importance. Maybe in order to establish her own son, civil and military officials would also lobby the emperor!"
**Hesitated for a moment, but he still said it.
Zhang Lihua is smart, how could she not know the interests of this? She originally planned to choose a commoner daughter of the same origin as hers for the prince, but in order to compete for the throne of the queen, she had to change her mind and marry Xiao Maha. This shows how great Xiao Maha has had on the throne of the queen.
Zhang Lihua said she didn't care, but she was extremely anxious. Tun said indignantly: "What should I do? Could it be that I have to go and ask Xiao Maha in person?"
**Just about to talk, eunuch Cai Liner hurried to ask for a meeting.
Cai Liner is a capable eunuch who was in charge of Zhang Lihua. Although Zhang Lihua was in a bad mood, she had to see him.
Cai Liner came in to pay his respects and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Concubine Zhang! Congratulations to Concubine Zhang!"
Zhang Lihua was confused and asked hurriedly: "Where does the joy come from?"
Cai Liner smiled and said, "I knew that Concubine Zhang was willing to marry General Xiao Maha, so I came to congratulate you."
Zhang Lihua and ** looked at each other and felt embarrassed. The latter said directly: "Eunuch Cai is wrong in this joy!"
Cai Liner was puzzled, and then he immediately told him that Xiao Maha had refused to marry him.
Cai Liner was stunned at first, then smiled charmingly and said, "I'm afraid I have to congratulate you because of this joy!"
Seeing Zhang Lihua and ** frowned immediately, Cai Liner quickly explained: "I will not hide it from the Imperial Concubine, Lord Zhang, I just came from Zongzheng Temple, and Xiao Jing, the daughter of Xiao Maha, has signed up to select the crown princess. Shouldn't you congratulate me?"
Zhang Lihua looked at him and felt unbelievable. The latter quickly asked if it was true. Cai Liner dared to promise that the selection of the crown princess of Zongzheng Temple would definitely find out the identity and origin of the woman who ran for the election, and there is no doubt about this.
Cai Liner then added fuel to the qian of Xiao Mohe's breakup with his ex-wife Zhang Yuhua. Zhang Lihua then remembered that something was true, and she couldn't help but be amazed that God was helping her.
"Don't Xiao Maha want to stay out of the matter? I just don't let you get what you want!"
Zhang Lihua snorted coldly. Although she was dissatisfied with Xiao Mohe repeatedly evaded her, she had to choose to give up her personal prejudice in the face of the huge temptation of the position of queen.
**Suddenly smiled and said, "As long as my sister immediately issued an imperial edict to designate Xiao Jing as the candidate for the Crown Princess, even if Xiao Moha opposes it, it will be useless."
"No!" Cai Lin'er quickly stopped him, "If Concubine Zhang now designates Xiao Jing as the crown princess, then wouldn't the daughters of the civil and military ministers of the court who signed up with Xiao Jing and the daughters of the gentry who would complain?"
** frowned and said, "That's nothing to do! There is only one princess. The key is that my sister is fighting for the throne. Xiao Maha is the one who must win over."
"Mr. Zhang misunderstood what I mean!" Cai Liner smiled and said, "Xiao Jing can be decided as the crown princess, but she cannot make the result public too early, so as not to hurt the sincere heart of major forces to curry favor with Concubine Zhang."
**A little puzzled, but Zhang Lihua understood it and immediately smiled and said, "Eunuch Cai is more thoughtful! If this is the best, the matter will be handled by Eunuch Cai. Although Xiao Mohe is the most important, no other forces should offend him."
Cai Liner was immediately overjoyed when she got the beauty and said quickly: "Concubine Zhang, please rest assured. I know what I know and will do this properly. That is, I guarantee that Xiao Jing will be selected as the Crown Princess in the end, and that other major forces will not be ashamed of face."
"It's so good! I'll have you done it!"
Zhang Lihua nodded with satisfaction. It was appropriate to leave this aspect to Cai Liner.
Cai Liner then received the order and surrendered.
Zhang Lihua removed a big stone in her heart, and her mood suddenly became very good at this moment.
