Chapter 927 Tell me quickly, what’s going on?
Mrs. Zhou laughed and said, "How can you say that? Our Zhou Yuan is so outstanding! The more I see him, the more I like him. Our Liao Jiu is always quiet, how can he be as caring as Zhou Yuan..."
The Prime Minister's wife hinted to Mrs. Zhou with her eyes that Jiang Lianzhu was still beside her.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Don't twitch your eyes. My daughter-in-law is here. I said the same thing about him, right, daughter-in-law? Am I wrong?"
Jiang Lianzhu nodded naturally, "No, mother is right."
I added silently in my heart that I rarely talk to others all day, but I talk a lot in front of her.
Suddenly, everyone started laughing.
Mrs. Zhou continued, "Let's talk about this behind closed doors. Zhou Yuan is quite good. You can be modest when you go out, but you don't need to be modest at home. Zhou Yuan, when you were born, you were so tiny, and in the blink of an eye, you've grown up and become a man! It's wonderful! Time flies, and your mother and I are old now!"
After saying this, she turned to the Prime Minister's wife and said, "We are all blessed. Our children are excellent, so we can enjoy the blessing with them. We women rely on our fathers and brothers when we are young, on our husbands after we get married, and on our children and grandchildren when we are old. I have my father, brother, and son, but not my husband. You are more fortunate than me. You have your father, brother, husband, and son..."
This brings to mind Liao Changming.
The Prime Minister's wife hurried to comfort him, "Little sister, you are wrong. You have one more goal than others. You have found a wonderful daughter-in-law! This is something that no family can truly envy. There is only one such unique Princess Fu'an in the world."
Mrs. Zhou loved to hear this, and the corners of her mouth curled up, she couldn't help herself.
"Of course not! I have a good daughter-in-law like Lianzhu, no one can compare to her!" His pride was evident.
Jiang Lianzhu also smiled.
When her elders praised her, she agreed in her heart that what they said was right.
But you still need to be reserved, cough.
Then, Mrs. Zhou turned the topic back to Zhou Yuan.
"Yuan'er, you're not young anymore. You've made great contributions. The Emperor will definitely reward you at the beginning of the new year. Let him build on his achievements and serve the court better. It's time for you to consider your lifelong affairs. Do you have any good candidates in mind? Tell us so we can give you some advice..."
The Prime Minister's wife seemed to have been waiting for these words for a long time, and she stood up immediately.
He said to Jiang Lianzhu, "Today, we are here to wish Aunt Zhou Yuan and the princess a happy new year. Secondly, we have an important matter to ask the princess for help!"
Jiang Lianzhu said, "What's the matter? We're family, so just ask."
Zhou Yuan's face suddenly turned red.
He clasped his hands nervously behind his back.
Jiang Lianzhu understood that it was most likely related to Zhou Yuan. Looking at Zhou Yuan's expression, it was most likely what she had guessed.
really,
The Prime Minister's wife said, "It's about our Zhou Yuan's marriage. We Zhou Yuan have a good impression of the Second Princess. We worked together on the border and have a tacit understanding. The Second Princess is also unmarried. We Zhou Yuan want to ask for her hand in marriage. I wonder if it is possible? My Lady Princess, please give us Zhou Yuan some advice..."
This means asking Jiang Lianzhu to act as a matchmaker.
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
There was only the slight mottled sound of the charcoal fire.
Everyone looked at Jiang Lianzhu's expression.
Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to speak without authorization, but she was also a little excited.
The second princess is a good match. This is a good marriage. If it works out, the children will be happy and the elders will be happy to see it happen.
Jiang Lianzhu smiled brightly, "Zhou Yuan has good taste. The Second Princess is a good girl. Okay, I'll go and talk to you. Whether it will be successful depends on the Second Princess's own wishes. If she is willing, let Dabao grant them the marriage. If she is not willing, we won't force them. A forced melon is not sweet."
The Prime Minister's wife hurriedly thanked him, "That's right! Thank you so much, Princess! Zhou Yuan came back and told me, and I scolded him, saying that the Second Princess was so noble that he couldn't possibly marry her. However, Zhou Yuan was stubborn and insisted that I propose marriage. I didn't dare to go directly to the Second Princess, so I had to come to you in a roundabout way. Princess, please help us build a bridge and make connections. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, we can just pretend we never mentioned it and won't tarnish the Princess's reputation."
Jiang Lianzhu ate some melon seeds. "Well, our Zhou Yuan is pretty good, and the Second Princess is pretty good too. Personally, I think they're quite suitable for each other. It just depends on fate..."
Mrs. Zhou was finally able to speak. "Lianzhu is right. Although the Second Princess is noble, our Zhouyuan is not bad either. The Second Princess is in a situation now, with both her parents no longer alive. If she really marries into our Zhou family in the future, we have a large family, and many of them love her. For her, there are only benefits and no disadvantages. Last night, during the reunion dinner, the Second Princess mentioned our Zhouyuan at the table, and she said only good things about us. I think the Second Princess should have a good impression of our Zhouyuan..."
The Prime Minister's wife felt a little relieved, "That couldn't be better."
If you have a good impression, even if you want to refuse, you will not say embarrassing words and you can at least save some face.
That's how it happened.
At noon, the Zhou family stayed in the palace for lunch. It was a rare opportunity for the family to have a meal together throughout the year.
After dinner, Madam Zhou personally escorted them out of the palace.
Liao Jiu didn't come back for lunch and only came back in the afternoon.
He went to find out the truth about the queen's madness, then passed by the prison and went to see Liao Changming and had a meal with him.
Liao Changming kept scolding him, saying that he had no conscience and that it was New Year's Day, so how could he lock his own father up in jail?
He was accused of being unfilial. The Da'an Kingdom put filial piety first, but he, the regent, did not observe filial piety. It was simply ridiculous.
Liao Jiu shut him up with one sentence, "How about we sever the father-son relationship?"
Suddenly, Liao Changming calmed down.
In fact, although Liao Changming said he was in prison, his life here did not feel like prison. He lived in a clean and bright apartment, had delicious meals three times a day, and had entertainment. He raised flowers and birds, and had books and chess pieces whenever he wanted. He was just not allowed to go out and fool around.
"Wife, let's not talk about him anymore. The Six Gates have found out about the crazy queen." Liao Jiu said.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
It turns out that this is what happened.
Didn’t the late queen escape from the tunnel? At first, with the help of the remnants of Baihua Tower, she left the capital and avoided a wave of searches. Later, she was unwilling to give up and secretly came back.
At that time, Wang Laowu had already taken over Baihualou and replaced the new owner, so those people no longer listened to her.
After she secretly returned, she couldn't get anyone to do anything about it, and was discovered by Wang Laowu. He hated the previous owner of the building and took his anger out on her. He sold her to an underground brothel and asked the former queen to entertain customers. Naturally, the former queen refused, so he drugged her...
