Chapter Twenty-Six: Bitten by a Dog
The Ye family of Changguo Mansion is the mother of the queen's mother, a scholarly family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the ancestors have always been pure ministers, only loyal to the emperor, and do not participate in party struggles. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The Ye family married the daughter to the prince back then, and this prince did not participate in the seizure of the heir, but could only be a rich and idle king, who knew that it was this one who inherited the throne in the end. Since Ye Man was going to be the queen, the Changguo Mansion has fallen silent, and the Changguo Duke has been unwell at home for the reason. The eldest son, as the prince, only held an idle position in the court, and had no daughters under his knees, and the second son was a magistrate of the fourth grade, and he was in Lincheng with a small family, and it was normal not to come to the banquet.
Wei Ping, the prime minister of the Chu State, was a great writer in the south of the Yangtze River, and after the establishment of the Chu State, the first emperor invited him to serve as the prime minister. Prime Minister Wei is indeed talented and capable, and can be called the pillar of the country. Moreover, the Wei family is also the way of pure ministers, dedicated to the country and the people, and never participates in partisan contention, which is really a rare good appearance.
Wei Yan sat on the seat, her eyes were smart, she looked at Chu Shuhuang, and saw Chu Shuhuang looking at her and smiled slightly. I'm afraid that only Wei Yan is really here to play, although Wei Yan is only ten years old, but this has nothing to do with age.
Mrs. Weiyuan Houshizi and the second lady of Weiyuan Houfu and Su Jing came to see the play, or there was a secret mission.
Mrs. Ningping Hou took Qiu Ying with her, but unfortunately Qiu Ying was only twelve years old and a little younger.
Seeing Xu Biyao, Chu Shuhuang was very surprised, and he didn't know whether the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion was intentional or unintentional. Mrs. Jingyuan Hou took Xu Biyao to sit upright, with a gentle face, while the people from Weiyuan Houfu next to her also had a faint look, but it was a little intriguing in comparison.
The people who came today were all concubines, and suddenly Chu Shuhuang found a problem, whether it was Mrs. or Miss, they were just lightly swept their eyebrows. Chu Shuhuang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, on such a hot day, it was really embarrassing for these people, if it was makeup, it would be interesting.
Princess Changyang saw that Chu Shuhuang didn't mean to speak, and she and Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis started a family routine: "Aunt is getting better these days, and the concubine is still worried that her aunt won't think about it?" ”
"It's not a big deal, let the mother rest assured. If you are bitten by a dog, you will be cured, and this matter is not taken seriously by the Marquis of Jingyuan. Mrs. Jingyuan said loudly, and the noisy crowd was quiet.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi, who was at the bottom, had a gloomy face, and was just about to speak, but was dragged by the second lady next to her, and whispered something.
Princess Changyang didn't seem to see these sabre-rattling, and comforted Mrs. Jingyuan a few words. Mrs. Ning Pinghou next to her said with a smile: "Princess Shengping is really getting more and more beautiful, like a little fairy, Princess Changyang is gentle and graceful, quite standardized, and she is well educated." Then he turned to Qiu Ying and said, "My Ying'er has to learn more about the princess's manners, and I can also raise my eyes by looking at it every day." ”
Qiu Ying grinned, looked at the two princesses and blinked, "Mother don't worry, Ying'er will." also asked the two princesses to teach Ying'er more. After saying that, he bowed.
With Mrs. Ningping Hou taking the lead, everyone praised one after another, and everyone resumed their excitement again, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness just now, only the people in Weiyuan Houfu seemed out of place with everyone.
After a while, the queen led all the concubines in the harem to arrive, and after the queen said some opening remarks, the banquet officially began. On a piece of paper, there are all kinds of fruits, all kinds of colors, and all kinds of flavors in the glass-streamer, bright and crystal utensils.
The palace people brought a bowl of glass cups in front of each person, and in the bowl was milky white sugar cheese like snow and frost, and in the middle were red, yellow, and white pieces of fruit. The queen introduced to everyone that the red ones are cherries, the yellow ones are mangoes and pineapples, and the white ones are lychees, so please taste one or two.
During the banquet, singing and dancing were prosperous, and everyone kept praising the deliciousness of the fruit feast, as if everyone was here to taste the fruit. Chu Shuhuang looked at it, and the sleepiness came up little by little, and the queen couldn't cry or laugh, so she was sent back to Xuanyage.
Two days later, a decree came out that Concubine Sheng was Zheng Rong, the daughter of Zheng Weiqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and was married in November. The eldest lady of the Ningping Hou Mansion, Qiu Li, is the side concubine and will enter the palace in March next year.
The Zheng family was also a big family in the early years, but the vitality of the family was damaged in the early years of the war, and many defeats were lost over the years. Zheng Weiqi's wife is surnamed Chen, and she is the sister of General Chen. General Chen is the general of Diezhangling who has been trained by the great prince this time, commanding an army of 150,000 troops, which can be said to be the third person after the Marquis of Weiyuan and the Marquis of Jingyuan.
The girl of the Ningping Hou Mansion was a side concubine, Chu Shuhuang couldn't help but think of the lost "Spring Sang Tu", the Hou Mansion that was about to lose, and it was also a comfort to the old minister after the incident.
……
After Ning Pinghou received the holy decree, Lao Huai was very relieved, although it was worse than the daughter he wanted to enter the palace, but his niece was also his own family. Qiu Jiace loves to paint alone and has no interest in court politics, but with his identity as a companion, and the daughter of the Qiu family as a concubine, the next generation of the Qiu family can still shine in the court.
After Ning Pinghou waited for the letter to dry, he folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Qiu Jiace, who was standing below. "When you go back, give the letter to your uncle, and spend more time with your grandmother by the way, and come back with Li'er after the New Year."
"I have already made it clear in the letter that should be said, you have been with His Royal Highness King Sheng for many years, by the way, talk to Li'er more, and let her wait carefully."
"Bring more people, the road may not be peaceful, everything has more eyes. The messenger of the Ministry of Rites has already left, so you should hurry up and go, it is best to get to the front. ”
Qiu Jiace packed up the letter, said goodbye to his father, took some five hundred guards, and hurriedly got on his horse and went out of the city.
……
At this time, Zheng Mansion, Zheng Weiqi and his wife were also educating their daughter. Although the Zheng family is not as good as before, Zheng Wei is a genius and has a good way to teach his son, otherwise how could the queen let her son marry his daughter.
"My son married into the royal family, he should be dignified and frugal, benevolent and filial, and not let his own temperament be." Zheng Weiqi looked at his daughter and said softly.
"Daddy, don't worry, my daughter is awake." Zheng Rong replied obediently.
"You have always been calm, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get into the eyes of the queen's mother, but Daddy is not worried." Zheng Weiqi paused, and then said: "The emperor in the court is strong, although there are Concubine Su and Concubine Xu, it is also unshakable, His Royal Highness King Sheng was taught by the emperor, calm and serious, knowledgeable and courteous, I think it has a lot of influence. Then the topic changed, "But since ancient times, there are many royal rights and wrongs, although there is a queen in the palace who has insight into everything, but there has always been no shortage of insidious and cunning villains. ”
Zheng Rong comforted: "My daughter will be careful and follow the rules, and she will be able to live a stable life, and my father can rest assured." ”
Zheng Weiqi said worriedly: "You have a pure mind, fortunately, you are more astute, not only to serve His Royal Highness thoroughly, but also to serve the queen mother must do her best, Princess Shengping must be attentive, and you can benefit more in the future." ”
Zheng Rong straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "Daddy's teachings and daughters are kept in mind, and they must act cautiously when they enter the royal family, abide by etiquette and law, and put safety first. ”
Zheng Weiqi nodded, and said distressedly: "In the future, my Zheng family should follow the example of the Changguo Mansion, and my son can only rely on himself for everything." ”
After Zheng Weiqi left, Mrs. Chen accompanied her daughter and whispered......
……
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi sat in her daughter's room, the maids and grandmothers who were waiting were all sent out, and Su Zheng lay on the bed silently. Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi enlightened for a long time, and then talked about the attitude of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion these days, but Su Zheng still did not react.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi's heart darkened, and she wiped her tears as she spoke, "I discussed it with your father, the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is like this, you don't want to marry." When you get better, I will find you a kind family from afar, and they won't dare to bully you, and your father and I will be relieved. ”
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi smoothed Su Zheng's hair: "My son is not angry, the body is himself, and it is not worth it for that kind of person." ”
Su Zheng still looked at the curtain steadily, and Mrs. Wei Yuan Hou Shizi sighed and left silently.
The next morning, the maid in front of Su Zheng went to the room of Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi to report: "Miss said that it is good to take care of your body and marry into the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and I implore Mrs. to allow Miss to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate." ”
Bang Dang! The small round ivory openwork mirror in the hand of Mrs. Wei Yuan Hou Shizi fell to the ground, "Zheng'er really said that?" ”
"Well, Miss is taking a walk in the courtyard after breakfast now."
Mrs. Wei Yuan Hou Shizi didn't care about picking out any more jewelry, and hurried to her daughter's yard.
