Chapter 798: Peace
Since the rift is irreparable, Lin Zhixuan believes that even if she is clever at this moment, and tells the old lady what Xie Jinnian did in the palace, the old lady will definitely defend her granddaughter, and she will no longer believe that Lin Zhixuan is innocent, after all, the Xie family will not get the queen's position after all, and Xie Jinnian and Sister Xin will enter the palace in the future, according to Xie Jinnian's temper, it is almost impossible to be safe with Sister Xin.
Moreover, Wei Mingxu didn't want to tolerate the tumor of the Northwest Army anymore, and the weak peace between the Xie family and the Jingwang Mansion was unsustainable since the election of the concubine this time.
Lin Zhixuan knew that the more she cared about Chu Nan at the moment, the more concerned she was, the more the old lady would humiliate her as revenge for herself, so it was better to break it off like this. Lin Zhixuan didn't mention Chu Nan at all, but suddenly smiled and said to the old lady: "Oh, I'm sick, but I was infected by Jinnian with hysteria?"
The old lady of the Xie family immediately changed her face, Lin Zhixuan told the old lady Xie what Xie Jinnian did at the spring banquet that day, Lin Zhixuan believed that if she said this, Xie Jinnian would not have the courage to tell the old lady. Her position as queen was lost by herself who was not careful for a while.
Even if the old lady didn't believe it, and went back to interrogate Xie Jinnian carefully, or other young ladies who were gathered around to know what had happened, they would definitely know that what they said was true.
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "I only heard Chu Nan say that the girl of the Xie family was very good, and she also said this in front of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, but I never thought that she would be such a girl that day, I thought she had hysteria." ”
Old Madam Xie was trembling with anger, but she still struggled to maintain Xie Jinnian's face.
Lin Zhixuan was calm, so maybe the old lady could sprinkle all her anger on Xie Jinnian and ignore Chu Nan.
After half a day's commitment,-for-tat, although both of them were smiling, even half of the sincerity in that smile no longer existed. The old lady didn't stay in King Jing's Mansion for dinner, she was like an arrow, and wanted to go back and ask Xie Jinnian what happened that day!
Only then did she return to the Zhongyong Mansion, the old lady was going to send Xie Jinnian to come over for questioning, seeing that the old lady's face was not good, Bai Shi hurriedly said that Xie Jinnian came back yesterday and was too sad and sick.
The old lady's originally angry heart was half gray in an instant, and when she looked at her in Xie Jinnian's room, she looked at Xie Jinnian's pitiful appearance of being angry and crying without eating or drinking, and the old lady's questioning words were also blocked in her mouth.
That's it, this child has lost the position of queen, and it is too late to protect her, so how can he bear to blame her again.
Wei Mingxu had a sincere conversation with the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was perfunctory, and only said: "Ah Zhi is reluctant, and I am also reluctant, she said that if she doesn't enter the roster, she won't enter the roster, but that day, Qin Tianjian gave Sister Xin and the emperor eight characters, and everything is compatible, and the mourning family really can't think of any reason to refuse." Could it be that Sister Xin can still say that Sister Xin has a hidden illness? Then she will not marry in the future?"
Although what the Empress Dowager said was reasonable, it was not the answer Wei Mingxu wanted, Wei Mingxu only said: "Mother, there are some things that Ah Zhi naturally has her reasons for doing that, there are many things, Ah Zhi's meaning is also my meaning, we have discussed it in our own study, not just because we are reluctant." If Yanxian does such an outrageous thing again in the future, his mother should discipline him more, instead of blindly indulging him, so as not to cause a big disaster in the future. ”
The Empress Dowager was really unhappy, but she really had a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother: "Yes, now you have discussed everything with her, and you will come to inform me when you are decided, but you have forgotten that everything in the past was to discuss with your mother." ”
Wei Mingxu felt that the Empress Dowager was a little chilling when she said this, and even a little nonsense: "Mother, I just feel that it is convenient for Ah Zhi to enter and exit the harem, so I let her tell you everything." Hasn't my mother always liked Ah Zhi?"
The Empress Dowager looked cold: "I like her well, don't I listen to her now? Isn't it what she says? Now it's just one thing that doesn't suit her mind, so she will throw her face to show me, and let you come over to accuse the mourning family."
It's good for the queen mother to let her do it, the mourning family can't make their own decisions about everything, isn't it? It's just a country girl, isn't it for their Lin family to raise her to be the queen?"
The words have already been said to this point, Wei Mingxu didn't want to say more, only confessed, and persuaded the empress dowager a few words before retiring.
Wei Mingxu's attitude towards the Empress Dowager was very lamenting and emotional, with mixed tastes. went back to Lin Zhixuan, after all, she shirked the sentence that her mother was old, and her mind was even more elusive. It is a melancholy look at the sky, and there is no name.
Sister Xin'er's ceremony to seal the lord of Shuzhe County is set on the sixth day of the fourth month, and that day is also Sister Xin'er's birthday. Almost all the princesses and princesses in Beijing came to congratulate each other.
The wedding of the emperor and queen was set on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and the rest of the harem concubines entered the palace on June 16 ten days later.
The emperor's wedding, but the major events up and down the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy together, Wei Mingxu arranged Lin Jiahong into the Ministry of Households on the grounds that Liao was young and was afraid that he would not be busy, after all, he is now a legitimate ruler. The people led by the Xie family made a fuss, saying that the Jingwang Mansion was fake for public and private interests.
At the beginning, in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Zhixuan did not even put Sister Xin'er's name in the roster, and the Empress Dowager Yu discussed the choice of the queen, but on the day of the Spring Festival banquet, someone behaved inappropriately, and the emperor personally repented, and he wanted to choose a person who was not on the list, everything was the emperor's will, and the people of Jingwangfu tried their best to stop it, but they didn't stop it, who can blame it?
Xie Bingchu didn't believe this, and only said that Wei Mingxu was pretending, and they must have arranged for the little emperor to temporarily repent, and they wanted to say it on purpose.
But Xie Bingchu's rhetoric is completely untenable, what was the situation that day, so many people saw that almost all the ladies of the dignitaries in the capital saw the emperor's repentance with their own eyes, and saw that Lin Zhixuan and the empress dowager were at a loss by the emperor. So everything is what the emperor meant.
Wei Mingxu and his party also retorted: "If Xie Guogong is not satisfied, just go and impeach the emperor." ”
Xie Bingchu also felt ashamed, and made a fuss, but after all, he returned in vain. What's more, he has been friends with Wei Mingxu over the years, and many people who were neutral or supported him in the past secretly fell to Wei Mingxu, and this sudden confrontation greatly reduced the power of the Xie family.
Wei Mingxu really mentioned that Wu Yinghou should return to Beijing to marry Xie Jinnian, after all, he also sealed the concubine.
