Tang Zhenzhen pouted and complained to her mother unhappily,""Mother, big brother actually lied." Most importantly, he actually lied to her, this kind and lovely sister! Really, really, really detestable.
The General's wife nodded, her eyes wide open with an inexplicable emotion."Awesome, your brother finally knows how to lie!”
Tang Zhenzhen really wanted to ask aloud when she heard the General's wife's words." Am I really your biological daughter?" However, he knew his mother's character, so he still asked with a gossipy tone,"Mother, do you know who the woman Big Brother brought back this time is?”
The General's wife shook her head and picked up a cup of tea. She said lightly,""I've never seen her. Your brother said she was a lady from a wealthy family, but I've never seen her before. Your brother brought her back and said that he wanted to marry that girl.”
"Mother, you're so calm. Aren't you afraid that big brother will be deceived?”She widened her eyes in confusion. Logically speaking, her mother would not agree to her brother's request for such a woman with no status, even though that girl was really gentle.
Who would have thought that his mother would be so magnanimous? She slammed the table and said heroically,""Your brother, it's already good enough that someone wants that stuffy gourd. We don't have the right to be picky. Let mother see, that girl was blind enough to fall for your brother, that's already your brother's respect.”
Although she said that, she believed that her son had good taste in people. She would not interfere with the child's marriage. As long as the child liked it, it was fine. Moreover, in their General's Estate, a person was not afraid of a crooked shadow. What was there to be afraid of?
However, when Tang Zhenzhen heard these bold words, she silently mourned for Tang Zhong for three minutes. She thought to herself that she was wrong. Her brother was not his biological son!
Since the General's wife had said so, Tang Zhenzhen naturally agreed. In terms of marriage, her mother and father were very democratic. If she had a gentle sister-in-law, she would be the happiest!
He did not say anything and nodded in agreement. Xu Mo did not have as comfortable a time as Tang Zhenzhen. He had wanted to look for Tang Zhenzhen at noon, but he did not expect to be summoned to the harem by his mother early in the morning.
"Son, look at the portrait in my hand. Mother has seen this child before. She is an extremely gentle daughter of a noble family!”When the Empress spoke of the daughter of a noble family, she deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was deliberately letting the Crown Prince hear it.
The corners of the Crown Prince's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know what kind of stimulation his mother had received today. She called him over early in the morning and didn't say anything. She even asked the palace maid to bring over a large pile of portraits.
He looked at the huge palace. There were only him and his mother left. The palace maids and eunuchs had been dismissed by his mother long ago. The two of them were surrounded by portraits.
Xu Mo really wanted to ask. There were so many young ladies in the imperial capital. He had seen a portrait of her casually. Moreover, they were all young ladies from noble families. How could there be such a coincidence?
Besides, why didn't you put Tang Zhenzhen's portrait inside? Although he knew that his mother was dissatisfied with Zhenxin, he did not expect that on the second day of Xuchang's wedding, his mother would actually not accept the tea and waste time with him.
No matter how many times he complained in his heart, he still smiled and said,"Mother, this woman's mouth is too big.”
The Empress looked at the portrait in her hand in surprise. She looked left and right, but she didn't see a big mouth. However, since her son had said so, it was fine.
Xu Mo casually put the portrait aside and took out another chapter to repeat the words he had said before. He looked at his son with hope and finally could not help but say,"Mother, what's wrong with you today? These portraits are either big mouths or big faces. I wonder who painted them.”
The Empress was also surprised when she heard Xu Mo's words. Why was it that when she looked at him just now, she found him pleasing to the eye, but now she found him unpleasant to the eye when her son said that? Was it really her fault for picking the person in the portrait?
Casually putting the portrait aside, the anxiety in his heart was gone. He asked calmly,"Then what kind of woman does my son like?”
Xu Mo thought for a moment." Your son likes lively people with small mouths and big eyes. They can cause trouble and comfort people…" He mentioned many characteristics, but Tang Zhenzhen's face was outlined in the Empress's mind.
She clenched the cup of water in her hand tightly and interrupted Xu Mo."Since my son has spoken in such detail, there must be someone in your heart. Why don't you tell mother about it? Mother can also give you advice.”
Xu Mo let out a long sigh. He guessed that his mother must have thought of his feelings for Tang Zhenzhen. After all, he had already made it so obvious yesterday. There was no point in hiding it anymore. He might as well say Tang Zhenzhen's name openly.
The Empress did not expect Xu Mo to really say Tang Zhenzhen's name. She slammed the table and stood up with a slightly angry expression."My son, there are so many young ladies from noble families. Why do you only like Tang Zhenzhen?”
Xu Mo did not want to be outdone. He respected his mother and had never defied her since he was young. However, he would not give in to Tang Zhenzhen."Mother, there are so many daughters from noble families. Why can't we let Tang Zhenzhen? Is the General's Estate not worthy of the position of the Crown Princess?”
The Empress sat in her chair and thought for a moment before sighing. She knew Xu Mo's personality, but she had never expected him to defy her for Tang Zhenzhen.
She had really underestimated Tang Zhenzhen. She whispered,""Her personality is not suitable for the position of Crown Princess. Moreover, she is the daughter of a general. If you want to marry her, it will definitely not be easy.”
"I won't marry anyone other than Tang Zhenzhen." Xu Mo immediately knelt down with a determined look on his face. It was as if he was not going to get up unless he agreed.
The Empress sighed helplessly. This kind of thing was not up to her to decide. The harem was not allowed to participate in politics, so she could only mention it in front of the Emperor.
The son she was most proud of was kneeling on her ground because of another woman. The Empress felt a little aggrieved.
She put down the teacup in her hand and pointed at him with a reproachful expression."Mother didn't say that you can't marry Tang Zhenzhen. Besides, is this matter up to Mother to decide? You're old and have your own thoughts. Mother will naturally obey you.”
Xu Mo immediately raised his head happily and kowtowed a few times. He said happily,"Thank you, Mother." As long as his mother agreed, he believed that his father would not blame him.
His father did not want other princes to marry Tang Zhenzhen because of him. He had been appointed as the Crown Prince since he was young. If he did not use the military strength of the generals, there would probably be people who would rebel when he ascended the throne.
If Tang Zhenzhen were to marry him, his father would probably be more than happy to do so.
The Empress felt that it was still an unknown. However, when she saw the surprise and gratitude on the child's face, who had been like an adult since he was young, she felt relieved. Forget it, children had their own thoughts.
No matter how disobedient Tang Zhenzhen was, it was fine to send a few nannies over to teach her manners after she got married.
Perhaps it was because she loved Tang Zhenzhen, the Empress felt a little better about Tang Zhenzhen at this time.
Xu Mo was extremely happy. He hurried out of the palace and arrived at the General's Estate. Seeing the people coming and going in the estate, he was a little surprised. He went in and grabbed a person casually as if there was no one else around and asked,"Did something happen in the residence?”
Originally, this person was still in a hurry, but he was suddenly caught by someone. Naturally, he was very angry. Just as he turned around and wanted to scold, he did not expect it to be the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince had been going in and out of the General's Mansion recently, so all the servants knew him. The servant was so frightened that he threw everything in his hand and knelt on the ground."Replying to the Crown Prince, there is an important guest in the residence.”
Xu Mo frowned. Did he look so scared? He was a little frustrated. He waved his hand to let the kneeling person leave and quickly walked into the living room.
She couldn't help but wonder who that important guest was. Could it be Xu Chang? However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. Xu Chang should be in the palace at this time and drinking tea with Shangguan Jiali.
Just as she reached the door, a figure bumped into her. She sat down reflexively and rubbed her aching forehead. She cried out with a hint of complaint," Who is it? Why did it suddenly appear?"
When she looked up, she saw Xu Mo's face full of self-blame and concern. She was shocked and quickly retreated.
Her eyes widened as if she hadn't reacted yet. After a while, she hurriedly took a step back and glared at him."Why did you suddenly appear? You gave me a fright!”
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't see you."”
Tang Zhenzhen also knew that she was in the wrong. She stuck out her tongue in her heart, but she still pretended to be generous and waved her hand. That made Xu Mo laugh.
However, when he saw the servant following behind her, he asked in surprise,"Zhenzhen, what happened in the residence? Why are you coming and going? I heard that someone from the family has come?”
Tang Zhenzhen nodded with a smile and pride.""Of course. I have a sister-in-law now, so I'm naturally very happy.”
As she spoke, she pulled Xu Mo along and ran inside, as if she really wanted to introduce him to the sister-in-law in her heart.
Xu Mo was surprised to hear that. Why hadn't he heard that Major General Tang had a wife?
However, he didn't know when Major General Tang had returned.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:23AM
