74, the past (three more)

After the three of them left, the expression on the old princess's face became serious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The old princess looked at Xiao Che and his son with wise eyes.

Xiao Che smiled lightly, with admiration for the old princess in his eyes. A touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, and the expression on his face sank for a moment, and he told the old princess in detail in a low voice about the collusion between Su Tan and the people of southern Xinjiang.

The old princess's face became more and more heavy, until at last her face sank like water.

She slapped heavily on the small table on Luohan's bed, and the jade bracelet on her wrist broke in response.

"Old Princess!" The light ink beside him exclaimed.

The old princess's sharp gaze shot at Danmo, who suddenly closed her mouth and stepped aside.

"He's really getting bolder!" The old princess squinted her eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Sure enough, the Jiang girl didn't come out of the table!" ”

The meaning of the old princess's words is very intriguing.

Fortunately, several people present could understand the meaning of her words.

The Ministry of Shangshu Mansion, originally in the old princess's father's generation, was the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

The elder brother of the old princess inherited the title of Marquis of Anyuan.

But the good times didn't last long, and after he inherited the title, he became entangled with a girl from the Queen Mother Jiang's maiden family.

At that time, the Jiang family was not the queen mother, but a small concubine in the palace of the first queen, and that Jiang girl was her cousin in the next room.

An Yuanhou not only raised Miss Jiang outside, but also brought her back to the Hou Mansion after she became pregnant, and told Mrs. An Yuanhou to raise Miss Jiang as his wife.

Mrs. An Yuanhou refused, but An Yuanhou was determined to do so, and even the old princess, who married her sister to the Zhennan Palace, couldn't go back to stop her.

Helplessly, in the end, Mrs. An Yuanhou compromised and agreed.

At that time, Mrs. An Yuanhou was also pregnant and was eight months old.

was angry by this incident, and directly gave birth to the eldest son of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

Due to premature birth, the eldest son was not in good health, and Mrs. An Yuanhou suffered from premature birth and dystocia, and her body also suffered and she was sick in bed all year round.

Soon after Mrs. An Yuanhou gave birth to her eldest son, his wife Jiang also gave birth to a boy and was in good health.

An Yuanhou already likes to have more equal wives, but he sees that the health of the second son is not as weak and sick as the eldest son, so he loves and values the second son even more.

The eldest son grew up stumbling in the eyes of An Yuanhou's lack of attention, his wife and younger brother.

Fortunately, there is also the old princess, who is the aunt of the Zhennan Palace, who loves him very much.

Usually pay more attention to clothing, food, housing and transportation, and constantly warn and deter An Yuan and his wife, and the eldest son has always been safe.

Seeing that the eldest son was about to become an adult, it was time to seal the son, and when An Yuanhou also decided to write to seal him as the son of the world under the persuasion of the old princess, Mrs. An Yuanhou went.

The eldest son wanted to keep filial piety for Mrs. An Yuanhou, and the matter of requesting the seal was temporarily shelved.

Who knows, this shelving is forever.

In the second year after Mrs. An Yuanhou died, An Yuanhou straightened his wife as his only wife, and his eldest son also died of illness in a fierce cold.

The second son naturally became the only heir of the Hou Mansion and the best choice for the prince.

The second son is naturally Su Tan.

The mother's family of the former Mrs. An Yuanhou was suspicious of the death of Mrs. An Yuanhou and her eldest son, and they were also good people, so they asked someone to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to check the body of the eldest son, and sure enough, they found a cat in it.

But what the specific reason is, the imperial doctor can't say clearly, only that he didn't die of natural causes.

The mother's family of the former Marquis of Anyuan was angry and sued the first emperor.

The first emperor was still a very wise emperor at that time, so he naturally would not tolerate it, and after finding out what had happened, he cut off the title of Anyuan Houfu, and originally should have sentenced the people of Anyuan Houfu to exile, but for the sake of the old Zhennan Wang, they were only demoted to commoners, and the right to gain fame was not stripped away.

The mother's family of the former Marquis of An Yuan was not convinced, but they could only accept it helplessly. sent someone to the Su family to retrieve the dowry of his aunt and grandmother, and since then he has been cut off from the Su family.

The old princess has always been reluctant to see her step-family Jiang and Su Tan, and after the death of her brother, she has little contact with the Su family.

Su Tan is also a person who can specialize, and out of nowhere he caught up with Empress Gu, who was still the crown prince at the time, Emperor Yongjing, and entered the ministry under the operation of the An family and Empress Gu.

Later, Emperor Yongjing ascended the throne, Empress Gu became Liangdi, and the Anguo Mansion also rose, and Su Tan, who followed them, naturally benefited a lot.

When the crown prince Qi Han was ten years old, Su Tan became the secretary of the ministry.

Thinking of how Su Tan became the secretary of the ministry, the old princess sneered.

She solemnly looked at Xiao Che's father and son and said, "You can do what you want, and you don't have to show mercy." Since he has the courage to collude with the people of southern Xinjiang, he will not need our so-called relatives. I want to see what he wants to do! ”

Xiao Che and Xiao Yan nodded solemnly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, the princess smiled and opened her mouth to break the heaviness in the room: "Tomorrow is the flower viewing banquet held by the queen, and I heard that the queen also specially sent the female officials around her to the Dingguo Mansion to give Zhao'er a post." Xiu Yao, are you going to enter the palace with me and your mother tomorrow? ”

Originally, Xiao Yan would definitely not go to various banquets like this kind of flower appreciation banquet.

Many times before, the Zhennan Wangfu received this kind of post, and both the princess and the Qin family asked Xiao Yan if they wanted to go with them, but Xiao Yan refused all.

But this time, it is also different, the princess believes that her grandson will definitely go.

Really.

Xiao Yan smiled a little, nodded as if embarrassed, and said softly: "Since grandmother has spoken, then the grandson will go with you and mother." ”

The princess and the Qin clan immediately laughed.

Even the old princess at the top had a smile in her eyes.

Qin Shi smiled and paused, and she said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Gu Mingxuan from the Anguo Mansion will also go tomorrow." In my opinion, Queen Gu's flower-viewing banquet this time is afraid that it will be a Hongmen banquet. ”

Xiao Che glanced at the Qin clan soothingly, waved his hand confidently and said, "You don't have to worry. Tomorrow, my mother and Xiu Yao will go with me, and they will protect Zhao'er. ”

After a pause, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Besides, the Duchess of Dingguo and Mrs. Lin will definitely go." The two of them are not easy to mess with. ”

The princess also smiled and agreed: "That's it. Maybe, Queen Gu will have to eat the first row tomorrow. ”

There was a smile in his voice.

Qin thought about it too. The heart that was slightly lifted suddenly relaxed.
