Luo Jianing took advantage of nothing to do and went to the palace, specifically talking to Concubine De about her sisters' husband-in-law issues.

Yinzhen has already secretly checked Shun Anyan and Zhang Tinglu. They are both very good sons and daughters. They are decent people and each has his own merits. If his sister marries these two, no matter what, they will not make her life miserable.

Comfortable.

Seeing that Yinzhen was satisfied with the two would-be brothers-in-law, Luo Jianing knew that this could be done.

It's just that the Queen Mother has expressed her position, and the Emperor has maintained a tacit attitude towards the Queen Mother's opinions. There is no problem on Yinzhen's side. All that's left is to do the ideological work of Concubine De.

Following the wishes of the Queen Mother, she found a good time to go to the palace and talked to Concubine De in a whisper about this matter.

She also wanted to say something before, but it was a pity that at that time, the various etiquettes of Bafujin's marriage had to go through the motions, and Concubine De, as one of the four concubines, had to arrange everything in the palace, so the two of them could not find a suitable one.

Time to discuss privately.

This time she deliberately found a time when there was nothing going on in the palace, just in time to discuss the matter with Concubine De in detail.

The sun is just right today.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a lounge chair set up under the wisteria flower stand in the yard, and the two of them leaned on the lounge chair and talked leisurely.

"Tong Guowei's grandson?" Concubine De was surprised when she found out about this: "And Zhang Ying's son?"

She had vaguely heard the emperor's mother say before that she wanted to betroth the fifth princess to the child of a minister in the court.

Concubine De did not have much say in the marriage of the fifth princess. After all, no matter how close the fifth princess was to her, she would still be the child that the Queen Mother had grown up with. The Queen Mother should make the final decision on the marriage of the fifth princess.

Moreover, she never worried that her children would suffer.

The Queen Mother has always been kind and loving, and she is even more affectionate towards the children she raised. Concubine De did not have much involvement in the marriage of the fifth princess, which is also a sign of her trust in the Queen Mother.

Now after hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Concubine De knew that the Queen Mother was actually attracted to the young masters of the Tong Jia family and the Zhang family.

Speaking of which, Concubine De still has some feelings for Tong Jia's family.

After all, the late Empress Tong Jia took Yinzhen away to raise, which resulted in a tense relationship between mother and son. This made her somewhat resentful towards Tong Jia.

Fortunately, her son has become closer to her in the past two years, and her attitude towards Tong Jia's family is also different from before.

Concubine De carefully considered the affairs of Tong Jia's family, nodded and said: "The Queen Mother has certainly considered it well. I have met the direct son-in-law of Tong Jia's family, and I have a very good impression."

The last time Shun Anyan came to see Si Fujin, Si Fujin took her with him to see Shun Anyan.

At that time, Concubine De felt that the young man was very good. Now that she knew that he might become her son-in-law, she felt even more satisfied.

As for Zhang Ying’s family…

"The elders of the Zhang family act very appropriately. The Zhang family has very strict upbringing, so the children they educate must be very good." Concubine De was even more satisfied with the Zhang family than Tong Jia's family: "Although I have never met Zhang Tinglu, Zhang Tinglu is very good."

There must be no problem if the scholar's reputation is passed down to the family."

Speaking of this, Concubine De became a little excited. After talking, she went to Si Fujin's side and took Si Fujin's hand: "And the queen mother meant that both of their children should stay in the capital. I, I really don't know how to be grateful.

The Queen Mother is the best!"

Princesses of the Qing Dynasty have always had a tradition of marriage.

The Queen Mother planned to find husbands for the Fifth and Seventh Princesses who were children of Beijing official families, but she never thought that marrying them would be the ultimate favor for them.

With the Queen Mother around, the Emperor wouldn't be able to say much.

So even if we put aside the character, just say that "a family member is an official in Beijing", whether the other party is Zhang Tinglu or Shun Anyan, Concubine De is actually happy.

Concubine De was heartbroken. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to take Sifu Jin to Ningshou Palace no matter what.

She wanted to see the Queen in person and thank her in person.

No matter what, her daughters are still so close to her after they get married and can still see her at any time. This is the greatest kindness her ancestors have shown her.

The Queen Mother happened to have nothing to do right now and was watching the maids doing embroidery work in the courtyard.

Now that she is older, she likes to quietly watch young people doing things. She feels that her mood improves after looking at energetic young people.

When Concubine De met the Queen Mother, she first greeted her with courtesy and polite words.

After the Queen Mother sent everyone around her away, Concubine De happily got to the point.

"Both of these children are fine, both are fine." Concubine De happily asked the Queen Mother again: "I just don't know which one of the four of them the Queen Mother plans to match?"

It was only said before that it was the two princesses and the two sons. Which one was which and which one? Luo Jianing couldn't tell the reason, and Concubine De didn't even know the answer.

It was related to the future happiness of her daughters, and Concubine De was very itchy. When she met the Queen Mother, she naturally asked about this matter first before talking about other things.

Just mentioning this matter made the Queen Mother a little embarrassed.

She didn't think about how to do it specifically.

Before, she was thinking, both children are very good, which one is better to keep as her grandson-in-law?

Then she couldn't choose any one, and looked at both options, so she decided to keep them all.

Now that they have got what they wanted, they have stayed. Now, how to match the two of them with their grandchildren has become a big problem.

The Queen Mother sighed: "I'm old, my mind is spinning. I can't think of such a difficult problem."

After she finished speaking, she saw Concubine De staring at her expectantly, so she simply stared back.

After the two looked at each other for a long time, they seemed to realize something and turned around again.

So the two elders both looked at Sifujin.

Luo Jianing didn't expect that they would ask her to help come up with an idea. She thought about it and said: "Zhang Tinglu is older than Shun Anyan. From the age point of view, it seems good to match the older with the older, and the younger with the younger." That is five.

The princess is with Shun Anyan, while the seventh princess is with Zhang Tinglu.

Concubine De couldn't help but ask: "You are judging by your age. How else can you tell?"

"If it comes to temperament, maybe the other way around is better." Luo Jianing said: "Shun'an has a gentle and gentle face, while the fifth sister is dignified and gentle. If the two of them want to have harmonious temperaments, they can probably play in harmony. And Zhang Tinglu

You may be able to get along well with the outgoing Seventh Sister who is reserved and honest."

What she means is that any pairing is possible, it depends on the elders' choice.

Concubine De was thoughtful.

The Queen Mother reacted first, couldn't help but laugh, pointed at Sifujin and said to Concubine De: "Look at this monkey in our family. When I asked her for her opinion, after she said it over and over again, it didn't look like she had said anything at all!

Shouldn’t this let the two of us make the decision?”

Concubine De was still thinking about her daughter-in-law's remarks just now.

Now after hearing what the Queen Mother said, Concubine De reacted belatedly: "That's right! Isn't this the same as saying nothing?"

The Queen Mother and Concubine De found trouble with Si Fujin this time. They pulled Si Fujin and insisted that she give an accurate idea, otherwise they would not let her go.

After the last three people discussed it for a long time, they decided that the matter did not need to be settled in advance. They could find an appropriate time for the four people to meet briefly and see their reactions before making a decision.

Of course, this meeting cannot be too upright, it is better to keep it secret.

The Queen Mother asked Si Fujin to go home and think about how to arrange this matter.

Anyway, the children are all young. Except for Zhang Tinglu, who is older, the other children are not old. There is no rush to set a time in the evening.

After Luo Jianing returned home, in addition to the "errands" arranged for her by the Queen Mother, there were other things she was also planning.

She took advantage of the recent favorable climate, which was neither too hot nor too cold, and planned to go back to Uranala's house.

She wanted to go back a few days ago, but she had no choice but to send several letters to her mother, but her mother replied and rejected them all. Luo Jianing thought that either something had happened at home, or her mother felt that it was not appropriate at that time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

After all, her mother had agreed to her going home before, but now she refused.

So she didn't go there.

In the past two days, she sent Anfu to Ulanala's house to inquire. The person who met Anfu was her second brother Fuchang. Fuchang said that her mother nodded and asked her to go back. Today she prepared the carriage and planned to go to her parents' home tomorrow morning.

One trip.

That night, when Yinzhen came back, he complained a few words to her: "Why didn't you choose a time when I could go with you? I've been busy with too many things these past two days, so I couldn't go with you.

It’s a trip.”

"I was thinking about choosing a day when the fourth master could accompany me back." Luo Jianing said: "Isn't it possible that my mother was not sure at that time? There must be something going on at home. Now that things at home are settled, I will go back quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble.

If something happens again in a few days, I won’t be able to go.”

Yinzhen also heard Luo Jianing mention that Fei Yanggu, Sifujin's father, has been in poor health recently. Moreover, the Ulanala family has always been cautious in doing things, so he only asked out of concern.

"Then you go." Yinzhen sighed and said, "My father-in-law has been in poor health recently. If anything happens, you can have someone call me at any time."

As he spoke, he remembered something and said in deep thought: "It is said that my mother-in-law has not been feeling well these past few days. Fu Chan has taken leave these past two days, and I heard that he has to take care of his two elders. I just heard about it this evening.

"

As soon as he got home, he mentioned to his wife that his mother-in-law Xu was ill. Just as his wife told him about going to her parents' house, he was a little late.

Fu Chan is Luo Jianing's eldest brother and Yinzhen's uncle.

Luo Jianing didn't expect this.

However, she recalled that when she and her mother attended a banquet before, her mother's face was ugly. She looked a little uncomfortable. She thought she was taking care of her father at the time and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

I don't know what my mother's condition is lately. Fortunately, I can visit her now, so I don't feel too worried.
