Chapter 44: Ambition
In Jingyi Courtyard, the old lady was discussing important matters with several daughters-in-law.
"The queen's intention is to send the prince to live in the palace for a while. β
Everyone was amazed.
Duan couldn't help but say, "Mother, when did this happen?"
The old lady said: "Grandpa Guo entered the palace yesterday, and the queen mother personally told Grandpa Guo. β
"What about the emperor? What is the emperor's attitude?" Jiang said. It is not a trivial matter for the prince of the country to live in the house of a courtier. Without the emperor's approval, what the queen said was in vain.
The old lady said: "The emperor acquiesced." He also said that our Qin family is the prince's foreign family, and now that the prince is still young, the feelings cultivated when the power is weak are more intimate. β
Now everyone was even more surprised.
Since ancient times, emperors have been afraid of their courtiers, especially dislike courtiers to be too close to the prince. Not to mention a foreigner, that is the most taboo thing for the emperor.
But Emperor Wan Xuan did the opposite, and actually generously sent the prince to the Qin family to be raised, and said such seemingly innocent words.
The Qin family, can you really refuse this honor sent to the door?
Nowadays, there are not many descendants of the Qin family who are officials in the court.
Although the Qin family has been martial arts for generations, the descendants have gradually declined in recent generations, and there is only one grandfather in the previous generation.
Grandpa Guo commanded the Northwest Corps and fought for Emperor Wan Xuan in the south and the north, establishing immortal meritorious deeds, which also re-established the first-class status of the Qin family in the family.
Perhaps the bravery of Grandpa Guo has exhausted the essence of the martial arts of the next generation of the Qin family, making the men of Qin Sanye's generation weaker than martial arts, not only can they not produce generals with troops, but there are not even a few ordinary sergeants.
Qin Hui, the son of the world, is mediocre and inactive, if he does not occupy the order of the eldest and youngest, it will not be his turn to be crowned the son.
The second son, Qin Xiao, is good at business, and now the entire Qin Mansion is taken care of by him, although the annual income is not too impressive, it is still much better than most noble families.
The third son, Qin Ye, can be regarded as a relatively good descendant in this generation. is still in the reign of Emperor Wenxi, he was in the Jinshi, if it weren't for the perverse behavior of the two Queen Mothers, he would have been a proper champion.
After Emperor Wan Xuan made an incident, because of the old man's standing in line, he also followed Emperor Wan Xuan and helped do a lot of things. Therefore, after Emperor Wan Xuan ascended the throne, he was given the official position of a servant of the ministry. And with his ability, given time, it is not impossible to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.
Grandpa Guo and the old lady can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is better than that of an ordinary couple, so they only accepted a concubine and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Although Qin Hua was born as a concubine, Grandpa Guo treated him like other sons and did not treat him badly. Even marrying a wife is respecting his meaning and marrying the woman he likes.
Grandpa Guo doesn't expect this son to get ahead, he just hopes that he won't lose the face of the Guogong Mansion.
Since the next generation of the Qin family can't produce the talent of a general, Grandpa Guo has no choice but to endure the pain of cutting his love and give up the handsome seal to others.
Such a Qin family looks bright on the outside, but it is already overwhelmed on the inside.
If the queen is not favored, or Qin Sanye's errand goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe for the Qin family. The old lady saw this qi clearly, so she gathered the daughters-in-law to talk about things.
In fact, they don't need to really make any ideas, Grandpa Guo has already discussed it with his sons, and he has talked to the old lady in private, and at this time he just informed him.
It doesn't matter what the purpose of the emperor's move is.
With the current situation of the Qin family, they can only obey orders.
The people present were all the daughters of the eunuchs, and after a little thought, they understood the reason.
The old lady saw that her daughters-in-law knew everything, so she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued: "The prince is not yet five years old, so it is naturally inconvenient for him to live in the outer courtyard. According to my opinion, let the prince live in Liuxiangyuan, well, I have to change the name, the three words 'Liuxiangyuan' are vulgar. β
Duan couldn't help but smile in his heart: Cut, it's not vulgar, it's not your old self.
When the old lady was young, she preferred military uniforms, so she was slightly lacking in talent, so she naturally couldn't get any elegant names.
Jiang Shi smiled at the old lady's wishes: "Why don't you call it Jinhui Courtyard?"
The old lady smiled and clapped her hands, shouted a few "good" words, and then discussed the reception with her daughters-in-law.
Now she is the middle feed in the Jiang family's presiding mansion, so most of the things fall on her head. The old lady favored the third daughter-in-law, so she asked the other daughters-in-law to help.
Song was in charge of cleaning up the yard.
Duan is in charge of the furnishings and other things in the courtyard.
Qi's dim sum was delicious, and Jiang handed over some of the chores in the stove room to her to take care of.
When Qin Yue got the news, it was already the next day, and he was so shocked that he almost smashed the dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand.
"The emperor actually agreed?" Qin Yue muttered with a look of surprise on his face.
Mama Wu said: "The old lady said it in front of several ladies, can it be fake?"
Which one of these plays is he?
The crown prince Feng Zhao, one year younger than her, was born by the queen's mother, and was crowned the prince on the day of the full moon, and then announced to the world. If nothing else, he will be the next generation of the Emperor of the Dadu Dynasty. It's a pity that after decades of life, drinking saliva will still choke on it, and the possibility of no accident is too small.
Qin Yue secretly mocked in his heart.
Because she didn't like her fourth aunt Qin Li, she didn't like her son, the prince's cousin, either.
This is disgust with the U.
But now that it's a fact, she can't stop it if she wants to.
It was just the opposite of Qin Yue's bad mood.
Qin Yu and Qin Wan, who got the news of the prince's entry into the mansion, were so excited that they didn't sleep all night.
The crown prince, except for the emperor's uncle, is the most authoritative figure in most of the capital. He is still young and ignorant now, as long as he coaxes him well, are you still afraid that he will not be able to reap the benefits?
The naΓ―ve Qin Wan even naively thought: Perhaps, she can still get a princess to sit on, and she will be the queen of the world in the future.
Qin Wan is not the only one who has this idea, but the fourth lady Qin Yuan also thinks so.
In the last life, almost, just a little, she became a veritable crown princess, but unfortunately she was destroyed by Duan Chen's bad thing, otherwise she would not have been able to take the turn of the fifth sister.
In terms of beauty, talent, and resourcefulness, he is not inferior to the fifth sister, or even better than the fifth sister. But in the eyes of outsiders, she has always been a concubine who can't be on the stage, how can she be the crown princess?
But is identity a thing that she can choose by herself? Why is it that after a man has made a meritorious service, he can "be a hero and not ask where he comes from," while a woman must have an identity that matches the noble position if she wants to sit in a high position? Why?
If you can't succeed in one life, you will seek it again in the next life.
God opened my eyes after all and gave me a second chance.
In this life, it will definitely be possible!
Qin Yuan couldn't help but sneer, fifth sister, it's not that I'm ruthless as a sister, but in this world, people don't do it for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!
