Chapter 95 Could the person you choose be a fairy from heaven?
Xie Jingmo knew that she was going to visit her family.
He didn't point it out.
Ask the waiter to bring some food.
Yun Zhao lowered his head and ate without saying anything.
"The Prince's Mansion is two streets away from here. If you get tired of staying at the inn, you can stay there. There are plenty of rooms, so take your pick."
Yun Zhao lowered his head and responded, "Yeah."
Xie Jingmo looked at the top of her head, feeling a little annoyed.
"Just buy whatever you want to eat. I just left the money in your room."
Yun Zhao still responded: "Yeah."
Xie Jingmo looked at her.
Seven years.
Still like this.
When I am unhappy, I don’t like to talk, and even if I do speak, my words are very simple.
After eating, Yun Zhao went upstairs and opened the door. There was a heavy bag of silver on the table.
Yun Zhao took a look and saw several gold ingots inside.
Yun Zhao: “…”
She felt sleepy, so after putting the silver away, she turned over and went to sleep.
Xie Jingmo stayed in the restaurant downstairs until midnight, and only left after the lights upstairs went out.
Imperial Palace.
"Empress Dowager, the general stayed with the Emperor for a while today. When he left the palace, he left with the Prime Minister. They laughed all the way. We were too far apart to know what they were talking about. But in the end, the Prime Minister seemed to stop laughing and got into the carriage with a serious expression."
"After that, the general went to the military camp and stayed at the Yuefu Inn until late at night."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother paused in her act of serving tea. "Yuefu Inn? With whom?"
"I don't know. As you know, the general is on high alert, so we shouldn't get too close. When the general left, the inn was already closed. To avoid alerting the enemy, I'll send someone to ask tomorrow."
The Queen Mother sighed, "Maybe he's a good friend in the army. Never mind, there's no need to ask. You should pay more attention to Jing Mo's movements. He has a very unstable personality. After returning to the capital with a great victory, I don't know how many women in the imperial court are coveting the position of princess. Don't let these people succeed. I have to carefully choose Jing Mo's future wife."
Little Li: "I will arrange it right away and have someone keep an eye on the prince."
And at the same time.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Did you see anything?" Guo Tao was worried.
"I saw it," the servant whispered back, "After the general came out of the barracks, he went straight to the Yuefu Inn and saw a frail man inside."
Guo Tao gasped, "Look carefully! It's a man!"
The servant nodded. "I went in. I looked inside and saw a thin man. He kept his head down while eating. The general was watching him coaxingly. They have a close relationship. Anyway, I have never seen our master look at anyone like that. It's very strange."
Guo Tao's heart was completely dead.
He felt a sense of sadness in his heart: no matter how careful you are, you can't guard against a thief in your own home.
I originally thought that Xie Jingmo would gain military merit and ensure a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, if I throw him into the army, where there are all kinds of men, wouldn't he be more comfortable in it?
Guo Tao frowned and couldn't utter a word.
the next day.
The Queen Mother called Guo Tao over.
Holding six paintings, he said, "Prime Minister, please come and show me this. This is Li Yuanyuan, the daughter of a Hanlin scholar. She is pretty and well-educated. These are the daughters of the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Military Affairs, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works. Of course, the one I like most is Qiaoqiao from your family. She grew up with Jing Mo and they are childhood sweethearts.
When Jing Mo went to war, she cried for three months at home. Now she is grown up. If the Prime Minister thinks it is suitable, why not call Jing Mo over? If he agrees, can the marriage be settled? "
"Jing Mo has been on the military expedition for seven years. By now, men of his age in the capital would have many children. I must hurry up and arrange for Jing Mo to have one."
The Prime Minister knew very well that his daughter admired Xie Jingmo.
Can--
"Why--"
"Empress Dowager, I have something else to do in the morning court, so I will leave first."
After the Prime Minister left, the Queen Mother asked Little Li Zi beside her in confusion, "What's going on? Didn't the Prime Minister always try to bring Qiaoqiao and Jingmo together? Why is he so indifferent now?"
Little Lizi smiled. "I'm afraid the Prime Minister also knows that it's not easy to force the General's marriage. You also know the General's temper. If an imperial decree is really issued and he doesn't like it, he might really disobey it. Queen Mother, why don't you take it slow?"
If an imperial decree is really issued and is rejected, it will be a bad ending.
The Queen Mother sighed, "Go get some gifts and give them to the girls in the paintings. This will encourage them to try their best and not end up not being liked by Jing Mo, which would be a waste of effort."
As soon as Xie Jingmo got up early and entered the palace, he saw Wang Zhong, who was beside the emperor, running out in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Xie Jingmo asked.
Wang Zhong was holding a painting in his hand, which didn't look clear, but looked like a woman.
"General, great news! The Emperor has selected several women officials to enter the palace, and the rest have been issued. However, the woman in this painting doesn't have a name marked on it. I'm afraid the official overlooked it. I'm going to ask who this woman is so I can report back to the Emperor as soon as possible."
Xie Jingmo was interested in these and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Wang Zhong laughed, took the painting and ran away like the wind.
As she ran, she excitedly said, "This girl is so lucky! The emperor took a liking to her and promised her a concubine. This is such a great blessing! I wonder if this girl must be so happy!"
Xie Jingmo watched the man run away before turning around and continuing walking forward.
Before they were halfway there, Xiao Yunzi said to Xie Jingmo with a smile, "General, the Queen Mother asks you to come over."
As soon as Xie Jingmo walked into the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw a table full of portraits.
He had a blank expression on his face. "Didn't your uncle tell you?"
The Queen Mother didn't look at Xie Jingmo, but only looked at the portraits in front of her, and thought every one of them was good.
It is normal for a man to have three or four wives, so Jing Mo might as well find a few more at once.
"Your uncle?" The voice in the background was absent-minded. "What does this have to do with him? Jing Mo, come and take a look. Are there any girls here that you like?"
"Qiaoqiao, you've seen a lot, so I didn't refuse them from taking the portrait. Qiaoqiao is your uncle's daughter, and we've been close since childhood. If she becomes a princess, your uncle will definitely be happy."
Xie Jingmo glanced at the girls in the portraits.
"Qiaoqiao acts like a tomboy. I don't like it."
The Queen Mother immediately said: "The daughter of Hanlin, Li Yuanyuan, is well-educated and well-mannered."
Xie Jingmo: "It's ugly, I can't eat it."
The Empress Dowager: "Ministry of Personnel Wang Sisi? Her beauty is so stunning that it captivates all."
Xie Jingmo: "Short."
The Queen Mother said enthusiastically, "Yu Huanhuan from the Ministry of Rites? He's tall and straight."
Xie Jingmo: "Fat."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "Ministry of War Li Xiumei, her father really likes you."
Xie Jingmo: "The father is good, but the daughter is stupid."
The Queen Mother nearly gnashed her teeth to pieces. "Ministry of Works Gao Yuyu, this girl is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and I heard she's unrivaled in talent!"
Xie Jingmo: "It's fine if you look at it one way or the other, but when you put them together, it's just boring."
"Bang!" The Queen Mother was furious.
"You don't want this, you don't want that, the daughters of all the important officials are in front of you, and you are not satisfied with any of them. Fine, tell me which girl you like! I want to see, can the one you choose be as beautiful as a fairy in heaven?!"
