Chapter 553: The Rumors
Princess Guojun also knew that the affairs in the court were beyond the scope of Old Concubine Xue's ability, or in other words, this matter would definitely have an impact on the Royal Mansion of Guojun, and Old Concubine Xue would definitely refuse to do it.
Old Concubine Xue can even ignore Lewen's lifelong happiness, not to mention the King of Guojun, think more sinisterly, if the King of Guojun has any misfortune in this incident, the Guojun Mansion will definitely have grace, for the old Concubine Xue, the glory of the Guojun Mansion is far more important than the safety of the King of Guojun.
Anyway, King Guojun is not the biological son of Old Concubine Xue, the original succession of King Guojun was just to inherit the incense, and now that the prince has it, don't worry about no successor, if what happens to King Guojun, Old Concubine Xue will have the final say in this mansion.
This is also the reason why Princess Guojun did not discuss with Old Lady Xue, she knew that Old Lady Xue would definitely not agree.
has been a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades, and Old Concubine Xue naturally knows what Princess Guojun is thinking, and she is probably very dissatisfied with her mother-in-law.
But there is no way, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been contradictory since ancient times, not to mention that they have not succeeded, but the old lady Xue still persuaded: "It is normal for you to worry about your husband, but the stakes are high, our Guojun Mansion and Dingwangfu have no friendship, this kind of major matter, Princess Ding may not help." ”
It is still light to say that there is no friendship, with the previous attitude of Princess Guojun towards Princess Ding, it is not too much to have any suspicions.
Princess Guojun didn't think that if she said a few soft words to someone, they would help, but she just felt that she should test Princess Ding's attitude first, and then ask others if necessary. When Mrs. Meng went to say Xiang, she expected that the princess would not dare to be disrespectful to her mother-in-law, so she said to Mrs. Xue: "Daughter-in-law, there is no other way to think about it, so let's try it, I don't know what is going on with the prince of the county now, and the daughter-in-law is really worried." ”
Old Concubine Xue also has nothing to say, it is easy to misunderstand if she talks too much, anyway, Princess Guojun just asked the Li family to test it, but with the Li family's usual words. Unless the princess of Guojun told it word by word. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find out anything, and this kind of begging, Princess Guojun will definitely not be able to pull her face to beg for a concubine, and in the end she may only be able to do nothing.
But now the news mentioned by Princess Guojun is particularly important.
Old Concubine Xue faintly felt that something was not quite right. She has not paid attention to the affairs of the DPRK and China for many days. For almost a year. I always feel that Yancheng has changed too much, and now there is such a strange thing, is the sky in Yancheng going to change color again?
Come to think of it. Old Concubine Xue didn't know what it felt, maybe she was alone at home, bored, her life was too ordinary, and something was really going to happen, but it would make people feel excited.
Old Concubine Xue suddenly felt that she was not old enough, not old enough to be indifferent to everything around her, and she had lived to this age and experienced a lot of things.
As Old Concubine Xue expected, the Li family did not test Princess Ding's attitude.
Even the people sent by Princess Guojun to secretly observe in the Dingwang Mansion came back to report that Princess Ding had not been out at all in the past few days, and the people in the palace had not come to and from the Meng family, so I thought that the princess Dingding did not take this matter to heart.
Princess Guojun was disappointed but still refused to give up, thinking about it, she had to put down her body and go to Meng's house to beg Mrs. Meng to see if Mrs. Meng could help.
She really couldn't wait any longer, and she didn't pick any good days, so she simply changed her clothes and went straight to the door.
When Mrs. Meng saw Princess Guojun's post, she was a little surprised and worried, thinking that her son's situation during these days made Princess Guojun aware of it, and she came to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt.
Stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife. Mrs. Meng couldn't avoid it, so she could only bite the bullet and ask Princess Guojun to be invited to the flower hall to serve tea.
Seeing Princess Guojun and saying a few polite words, Mrs. Meng could see that Princess Guojun didn't seem to have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and there was a hint of flattery in her smile, and there was no mention of dissatisfaction with her son in her words.
This made Mrs. Meng feel at ease a little, it's not good to come to Xingshi to ask for sin, probably the princess of Guojun has something to ask for the Meng family, this kind of thing is also very common for her, with Xiaofu marrying into the Dingwang Mansion, Master Meng's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and people come to the door all day long to ask for this, ask for that, she is already used to it.
And thinking about it, if the request mentioned by Princess Guojun is not too much, as long as she can do it, she will try to help as much as possible, and the in-laws should help each other, and besides, the recent situation of her son, seriously, I am a little sorry for others.
After all, it was his son who provoked the fireworks woman first, and then that kind of thing happened, and there is no evidence that this matter is related to the Guojun Palace, but it makes the family suffer from gossip, and it is really unintentional.
Princess Guojun is not a person who is good at begging people, she has been pampered all her life, and there is nothing to bow her head to, this time she asked her to pull down her face to beg for someone, and she was a little speechless for a while, so she talked without a match, thinking about what topic to use to lead to this matter.
Mrs. Meng is still good at this, since she plans to help, why not speak first, and the favor will be greater, so she found a topic and slowly led to the request of Princess Guojun.
After listening to Princess Guojun's worries, Mrs. Meng was embarrassed, if it was an ordinary thing, Meng could do it, she must have tried her best to persuade Meng Ye to do it, but Princess Guojun This matter is really not something that Meng can also do.
If you want to go out even against the wind, you must go to ask for small blessings, and in this situation, how can you ask for small blessings?
Xiaofu didn't even want to help his brother-in-law Master Dong's affairs, he had to help, and he fell into the well, at this time, if he went to ask Xiaofu for the matter of Guojun Wangfu, Xiaofu would not help, after all, this matter is much more difficult than his brother-in-law's official position.
Princess Guojun observed her words and looks, and could see Mrs. Meng's entanglement, and couldn't help but say in a pleading tone: "If it is an ordinary matter, I will definitely not come to trouble my mother-in-law, but it is just about the prince of our family...... The prince of our family has always been in poor health. This Dajing mission has frequent accidents, and the county prince has stayed on the road for a long time, this town is short of doctors and medicines, how can our county king stand it, and we have to ask my mother to help in this matter, just for Lewen's sake, if the county prince has something, how about calling us Lewen?"
Mrs. Meng naturally knew that if something happened to King Guojun, Miss Lewen would have to keep filial piety for three years. Naturally, the family affair was delayed.
If it had been before. She may still be a little worried that she won't be able to hold her grandson sooner, but now, she thinks about it. Maybe that's not a bad thing either. If you can drag it out for three years to get married. The son's mood can slowly calm down, and things will be buffered, and no one knows what the situation will be after three years.
It is also a solution to the dilemma. The thought flashed, and Mrs. Meng immediately dispelled it, she had made up her mind earlier that she would not do those things that hurt heaven and reason, and she wanted to accumulate merit to atone for her past sins, and now she had such a vicious thought for the sake of her son, how could this be?
It's just this request from the king of Guojun, what should I do?
took the liberty of begging Xiaofu, Xiaofu would definitely not agree, if she wanted to perfunctory Princess Guojun, in fact, she couldn't do anything.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Meng could only sincerely say to King Guojun that she could try to ask, but she didn't know what the result would be, after all, this was a major matter in the court, and it was not something that a woman could decide.
Princess Guojun is naturally very grateful, it is enough to get such a promise, and she can't force too much.
Sent away the princess of Guojun.
Mrs. Meng thought about how to come to the door, and she couldn't rush to the door and open her mouth directly.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to find someone who was familiar with Xiaofu first, and first test Xiaofu's tone, this kind of thing is naturally not good to let the maid pass the word, so she thought of Mrs. Quansi, and now the only way to determine Xiaofu's tone is through Mrs. Quansi.
……
Dingwang's mansion.
In the glazed courtyard, Haitang looked back at her room with some anxiety, and made sure that everything was packed up and nothing was left behind, so she sat down and waited for the steward to come.
The person in charge of tea procurement in the house is a steward named Zheng Chang, but the difficult stewards of the outer courtyard cannot easily come to the inner courtyard.
She came to Zheng Chang through Zheng Chang's wife, Zheng Niangzi, to ask Zheng Chang to buy some tea.
On that day, Mrs. Zheng suddenly told her that there was a tea house opened by a relative who needed help, and she was quite proficient in the tea ceremony on weekdays, and asked her if she would like to go to the tea house to help.
Haitang feels that there is no good thing about pies in the sky, the better Zheng Niangzi said, the more she thinks it is unlikely, now that life is stable in the backyard of Dingwang's Mansion, why bother to go outside to accept the wind and rain?
The tea house outside needs help, as long as the price is right, I am afraid that I will not be able to invite anyone? Why do you need her to help a woman? It is not very credible, so she politely declined Zheng Niangzi's proposal at the moment.
Zheng Niangzi did not give up, and lobbied again and again, saying that there are fewer and fewer people in this Liuli Courtyard now, although the prince is back, maybe it will be more lively, but she is not young, how many years can she be a singer? Can she stay in the palace for a lifetime?
Mrs. Zheng was eloquent, and she lobbied again and again, which made Begonia a little moved.
But she is still worried that it is a scam at this time, maybe this Zheng lady is going to deceive her somewhere.
Zheng Niangzi heard her worries, smiled and said that she was really worried in vain, she is still a person in the palace after all, Zheng Niangzi's husband Zheng Chang is the housekeeper of the house, trusted by the prince, and she is a mother who is a housekeeper in the inner courtyard.
Although Zheng Niangzi's words hurt Haitang's self-esteem a little, she also knew that she was a little old, and she was no longer a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and she was indeed not sold for a good price.
But I still think it's a little incredible.
In order to dispel Haitang's worries, Zheng Niangzi specially invited Xue Niang, who had managed Liuli Courtyard before, Xue Niang is now married, the family is harmonious, and she lives a small life as an ordinary person, but from time to time she will return to the palace to visit the old people in the palace and talk to everyone.
Most of the girls in the glazed courtyard have no relatives and no reason, they all regard Xue Niang as a relative, if there is anything to make up their minds, they will discuss it with Xue Niang, Xue Niang now knows some people outside, big things can't help, some small things can still be very helpful, and they are also enthusiastic.
Zheng Niangzi's words, Haitang didn't believe it, but Xue Niang said, she believed it.
Xue Niang confirmed that the matter of the tea house is indeed true, and the owner of the tea house is actually a woman, because of this, she wants to find a woman to help, and women are always easier to deal with.
In other words, find a woman to deal with those men outside, other women must be taboo to show up, some people don't do it, and they won't mind these small details too much if they want to come to Begonia.
Begonia was a little relieved.
I also followed Zheng Niangzi and Xue Niang to the tea house to see, after going, I was attracted by those good teas, she worked hard to save money, and she has tasted a lot of good tea, but compared to the varieties of this tea house, it is still less.
Immediately agreed to go to the tea house to help.
The girls of Liuliyuan can go freely during this time.
Begonia didn't have anything to worry about, so she packed up her belongings, and waited for Zheng Niangzi to pick it up, it was a little sad to say, she had been in this glass courtyard for a few years, but she couldn't even find a friend to say goodbye to.
The sisters in the past are all scattered, and she doesn't know how they are doing now, and whether they are doing well.
I want to be like them, and I started to live in another life, I thought I could stay in Dingwang Mansion for a lifetime, the last time I met the girl named Xiaoyi, I also said that I wanted to live like this, and it didn't take long for her to leave.
Thinking of that Xiaoyi, she felt that the world was impermanent, and she thought that there was a good friend who was about to have a good conversation, but she saw it in a hurry that day, and she didn't see Xiaoyi, so she asked the steward, and the steward said that there was no newcomer to Liuliyuan recently, and there was no girl named Xiaoyi.
Haitang didn't give up, and asked a few more, all of them said that they hadn't seen such a girl, not to mention that there was no one in the Liuli Courtyard, even if it was the entire palace, there was no maid named Xiaoyi.
But obviously they talked for a long time that day, and Begonia had a strange feeling, shouldn't it be that day that he met a ghost?
However, she was optimistic by nature, and she didn't forget if she couldn't find it, and she didn't take it to heart. (To be continued......)
