Chapter 778: Resignation
"Who said that harem women can't see Song Changqing? Is Huanhuan an ordinary harem woman?"
Xiao Shaotang's hippie smile.
He knew that she must still be in a bad mood, otherwise his queen would not be an ordinary harem woman.
Bai Chenghuan didn't go around the bend with him anymore, and said directly:
"I only know that he is a talent, and the emperor will use it if he thinks it is useful, and if he thinks it is unusable, he will do it. β
Anyway, the Song family was originally a mixed bag, with both people like Song Wenru who were loyal to the monarch, and people like Song Wende who lived like scum.
She also remembered that in the short dream about the ending of Xu Chenghuan's previous life, among the people who led the courtiers to coerce the emperor, Song Changqing seemed to be the one who took the lead.
Needless to say, this person must have been a very good minister in his previous life, and it would be a pity if Xiao Shaotang was allowed to abandon him without seeing it.
Then she made a face to Xiao Shaotang:
"Just tell me honestly, where did you go?"
Xiao Shaotang smiled and said nothing, Bai Chenghuan understood, and said hurriedly:
"Are you going to the Weiguo Mansion? What do you want to do? In Jingchunyuan, you have promised me that even if the Zhongyi Mansion does something wrong, you will never be angry with the Weiguo Mansion! My mother must be very angry at this time, why do you still want to provoke them?"
made such a will, with her mother's temperament, she must be very angry in her heart, she felt that it was too late to make up for it, Xiao Shaotang wanted to do it against her?
Xiao Shaotang did not answer this question directly, but repeatedly tried to fool the test:
"Where did I provoke them? It's just a matter of saying a few fair words, don't worry, Duchess Weiguo won't be angry anymore soon, really!"
Xiao Shaotang is seventy or eighty percent sure, and the Weiguo Mansion can only pinch his nose and suffer this loss this time.
Otherwise, they will rely on Cheng Huan's favor to make trouble with him, the emperor!
This time, the Weiguo Mansion will either stop hurting Cheng Huan's heart as before, and can still use Cheng Huan as a confidence, or it will obediently obey the order, so that Cheng Huan will die for their heart!
Bai Chenghuan was skeptical, but no matter how he asked and thought about it, Xiao Shaotang refused to say anything more.
Two days later, just when the people in the capital felt that with the temperament of the Duchess of Weiguo, they were going to make a big fuss, but the Duke of Weiguo solemnly ordered someone to invite the official media, and went to the Zhongyi Mansion to discuss the marriage of Xu Chengle and Shi Wanrou with the Zhongyi Uncle.
The eyes of everyone in the capital are about to fall to the ground, not to mention, just to say the Zhang family, it is really unbelievable!
"No, Shi Yuzhen, how can she agree? Why didn't she go and beg the queen mother? What did she want to do?"
Zhang tore up the big red wedding post and threw it on the ground, and yelled at the official media who came to the door.
Obviously, they had a fight that day, and after being separated by Xu Chenglin and Zhongyibo, Shi Yuzhen's attitude was still very tough.
She also repeatedly begged her to enter the palace to intercede with the queen, but now she is so resigned to fate, what is going on?
Wang Guanmei was stunned by her unruly appearance.
Wang Guan's media originally thought that this was the emperor's will, and the Weiguo Mansion had no opinions, so what other opinions could the Zhongyi Bofu have?
was disrespectful to the royal family, and he was not punished, but he just married his daughter to his sister-in-law's house, what is this Zhongyi Bo dissatisfied with?
Wang Guanmei was stunned for only a moment, then stood up and said goodbye with great momentum:
"If Madame is dissatisfied, go directly to the emperor and tell the emperor, what's the use of being angry with the lower officials here?
After speaking, he didn't care what kind of face Zhang was, and brushed his sleeves away.
According to common sense, their official media is not as good as ordinary matchmakers, where they go, even if they don't want to, they are polite and polite, how can there be such a thing?
She has to sue her when she goes back!
Zhang's was full of resentment, so he watched coldly as Wang's official media got up and said goodbye, and he didn't even let people send it out, let alone the red envelopes that ordinary official media should have when they came to their doors.
But the Zhang family didn't know how powerful it was, but Zhongyibo, who rushed to hear the news, knew.
Knowing that the official media of the king was leaving with anger, Zhongyibo, who had never touched a finger of the Zhang family, couldn't hold back and slapped the Zhang family hard!
"What the hell do you have in your head? The older you get, the more confused you become, and if you don't kill this family, you're not reconciled, aren't you?"
Zhang Shi was stunned by this sudden slap, covered his face and didn't even have the strength to cry, and said in a trembling voice:
"Shi Yubao! Your sister came to beat me before, and today you come to beat me again, your Shi family is so majestic, do you want to put me to death? Do I want to watch my daughter jump into the fire pit?!"
"You can't bear to watch, why didn't you resist the decree at the spring banquet that day? Why don't you dare?"
Uncle Zhongyi was so angry that his eyes were red:
"Stupid woman! What a complete stupid woman! Do you know that the official media of Daqi is under the control of the household department, and now the household department is a celebrity in front of the emperor, if she goes back and makes a decision, do you think the emperor can be gracious again? If you are really confused to the point where you can't manage the family, then you don't care about this family!"
Hearing Zhongyibo say such cruel words, and then thinking about the concubines in the family who had no children, but were eyeing each other, Zhang couldn't help but shudder, but she was unwilling:
"But Shi Yuzhen, she obviously doesn't agree, she doesn't agree!
Zhongyibo was silent for a moment, and his heart was already like a mirror about his sister's situation-
I heard that after the spring banquet was dispersed that day, the emperor went to the Weiguo Mansion, sister, I'm afraid it's also unthinkable, right?
Zhongyibo closed his eyes and was ruthless:
"She asked people to come to the door, naturally she couldn't reverse it - accept her fate, since you dare to do such a thing, you will have to pay the price. β
"I didn't let Wanrou completely ruin her life, and she could still marry into the Weiguo Mansion...... Enough is enough, stop tossing around...... You also think about our sons, do you have to let their careers be ruined?"
Zhang couldn't speak anymore.
The two sons followed the path of military attachΓ©s, and they have been stationed outside, working hard to improve their qualifications, and do not often return to the capital.
So in this huge Zhongyi Uncle's mansion, the only daughter unconsciously became her favorite one.
But she clearly knows that in the eyes of her husband, the son who inherits the family business is always the most important.
She knew that no matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to let the emperor's anger extend to her son!
"Pity my Wanrou, ...... in this life" Zhang couldn't help but cry again.
After listening to the crying of the past few days, Zhongyi Bo was already extremely tired, and frowned:
"Now that I know that I am crying, what did I do earlier? If you want to blame the adopted daughter for not teaching her mother, you can only blame yourself! The matter has come to this, it is useless for you to cry, prepare a dowry for her as soon as possible, and give her more silver to dowry, I want to have Yuzhen in charge of the Weiguo Mansion, and I will not treat her badly!"
Zhang hung his head and silently wiped away his tears without saying a word.
Zhongyibo looked at her pitiful appearance, and after many years of affection, he slowed down, and then said in a low voice:
"Since the incident with Xue Yuntao, Wanrou has already begun to have a strange heart, haven't you noticed? Now like this, it's better, it's better than her making a bigger mistake and being out of control!"
"This marriage, except that Xu Chengle is a concubine, is already good for her, you have to know that the emperor allowed her to choose Xu Chengle in the end, which is already extraordinarily gracious!
After a long time, Zhang nodded slightly, and then began to be a little afraid:
"Then today, the official media woman ......"
Zhongyibo calmed down and thought about it before saying:
"I'll go to the Weiguo Mansion in person, this is a matter of the two families, as long as the Weiguo Mansion doesn't say anything, and then appeases the matchmaker, I won't be afraid of this matter." β
Indeed, Wang Guan's media went to the Weiguo Mansion first, and after indignantly saying the attitude of the Zhongyi Mansion, the expression of the Duchess of Weiguo did not fluctuate at all, as long as the person presented a red envelope with a thick stack of silver tickets.
"Thank you, Lord Wang. In that case, let's ask Lord Wang to make another trip another day. As for this matter, please don't take it to heart, my sister-in-law, I can't think about it for a while, there are also some, and I ask Lord Wang to forgive me. β
The official media of Daqi is barely classy, but it is rarely called an "adult" by people.
In the past, the unattainable Duchess of Weiguo was so polite, and Wang Guanmei understood in his heart what Duchess Weiguo meant, this is to suppress this matter.
Wang Guanmei also understood in his heart that if he went to the emperor to complain for this tone, even if he could punish Mrs. Zhongyibo, the result would also offend the Weiguo Mansion, which was not cost-effective for her.
In the end, people are flesh and blood, it seems that she has to endure this breath.
Wang Guanmedia's reached out to take the red envelope, and he didn't say anything.
So Zhang was worried at home for a few more days, and when Wang Guanmedia came to the door again, he had to take the Geng post, only saying that he would let people go to the eight characters and drag it for the time being.
But on the surface, the two families have successfully entered the stage of marriage proposal.
Such a calm and calm situation made the people in the capital who originally wanted to see the Duchess of Weiguo make a big fuss, and those who saw the emperor dislike the Duchess of Weiguo were a little disappointed.
Bai Chenghuan was cold from the bottom of his heart-
It is inevitable that my mother will be angry, but my mother actually accepted it!
Such a resolute attitude, without even asking a word in front of her, made her already understand the determination of the Weiguo Mansion not to have anything to do with her anymore!
The spring in March was just right, but Bai Chenghuan was sitting in the luxurious Huaqing Palace.
Mother kisses them, they don't want her at all, they want to treat her as a stranger through and through!
She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears and be seen, so she had to hide behind the heavy curtains.
But when she hid in a quiet corner, looking up at the empty void above her head, she found that she couldn't even shed tears.
Mourning is greater than dying, to this point, what is there not to give up?
Shake Hui was quietly by her side, she was the only one who knew part of her master's secrets.
She could see the depths of the queen's black and white eyes, the sadness that could not be dissolved like thick ink, but she could only watch.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but redden.
If she didn't know the queen's secret, she might not be able to empathize with the queen's grief at this moment.
But it was precisely because she knew something that she felt sorry for the queen.
Since the Weiguo Mansion can't treat the queen mother consistently, why did he admit it back in the first place?
If you have never gotten it, then it's okay, for so many years, let the queen mother put so much admiration on them, but now they have to be cut off alive, isn't this crushing people's hearts?
I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that Bai Chenghuan turned his deep pupils slightly.
Her grievances and helplessness flowed between the curtains:
"Shake Hui, she promised me that even if I wasn't her own, she would never want me...... How can she talk and not count, doesn't she promise me?"
Since knowing the truth of the matter, Bai Chenghuan has always felt remorse and guilt in his heart, and this is the first time that he has been wronged.
But full of grievances, she can't say it to anyone, only this person who has followed her all the way may make her sadness and despair a little wanton.
Shao Hui took two soft pillows from outside the curtain and stuffed them behind Bai Chenghuan's waist, making her sit more comfortably, and then said slowly:
"Mother, people's hearts are unpredictable, no matter what happens, Niangniang must always remember that it is not your fault...... Even for the sake of the little prince in your womb, you can't be so sad anymore......"
"Duchess Weiguo can't understand, Niangniang still has the emperor and Mrs. Qiuguo, don't you want to be like this......"
Shao Hui persuaded on the side, but felt powerless.
No matter how much it is, I'm afraid it won't be able to heal the scars on the queen's heart.
Bai Chenghuan did not respond again.
But it's one thing to understand these truths, but how can it be possible to really stop the heart like water?
The two personal grandmothers outside have been waiting for a long time with a group of palace people, and they haven't seen the queen come out, so they can't help worrying.
Just as he was thinking about whether to break in, the emperor finally came.
Xiao Shaotang waved everyone away, and when he walked in, he saw Bai Chenghuan sitting alone in the corner of the main hall, looking lonely, and his face was like ashes.
Shao Hui lowered her head, saluted silently, and then withdrew.
"Huanhuan, I'm here. β
He stepped forward, leaned over in front of her, knelt down on one knee in front of her, and stretched out his arms to hug her.
But in an instant, she was poked into the bottom of her heart by her gaze.
Helpless, sad, and mixed with despair.
Things seemed to go his way, but he wasn't happy.
"Huanhuan, this matter ......"
He tried to explain, but she threw herself into his arms with red eyes.
"Xiao Shaotang, my mother and father, and my brother, don't want me anymore...... But I don't blame anyone, and I can't blame you...... Because I knew for a long time that there would be such a day, and I didn't want to believe it, and I deceived myself...... But there will always be a day of this. β
"Xiao Shaotang, I accept my fate. β
Suddenly, like a tired bird, she finally chose to land.
His heart trembled, and he could only hold her tightly in his arms and murmur over and over again:
"It will pass, everything will pass...... And I'm ......."
The days are like flowing water, passing through the whirlpool, and then beginning to flow calmly again.
The queen's reward was still sent to the Weiguo Mansion like flowing water, and the Weiguo Mansion also thanked her according to the rules, and everything looked so calm.
But Shao Hui felt that the queen's smile was different from before.
