197 Zhao Yanran's doubts

Three years of filial piety, that is, noble as Zhao Yanran, have lost a lot of weight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this thinness is not emaciation, her complexion is still white and red, radiant, and her body is more slender and charming, fading the baby fat when she was a girl, a little less immature, and a little more delicate and mature.

They're not the same people they used to be.

Xia Chu smiled and nodded: "Niangniang can call it whatever she likes, isn't it me anyway?" Her attitude was not too respectful, as if it was still the same as before, but she maintained a trace of distance between the monarch and the minister.

It is not estrangement, but because the minister is the king, there will inevitably be a class difference. When Zhao Yanran just entered the palace, she didn't have the queen's bearing that she has now, and her sense of distance was not strong, but three years have passed, and everything is different from before.

"Yuan Min, I have something to ask you." Even so, Zhao Yanran's straightforward temperament has not changed much, she looked at Xia Chu's eyes, and asked very seriously: "You know me, I don't want to say those polite words to you, I just hope you can answer me honestly." ”

"Excuse me, mother." Since she retreated, Xia Chu knew that she must have something to inquire about, otherwise she just said a few private words about her daughter's family, why even drive out her henchmen? She can confess like this, Xia Chu's heart is a little more relaxed, it is naturally impossible to know everything, but if it is an irrelevant matter, as long as she knows, she doesn't mind saying it to her.

"Back then, Sister Bang Qiu whispered to me that she wanted me to be careful against Wu Jieyu." Zhao Yanran said with a straight face. "I don't know if my sister in late autumn has a grudge with Wu Jieyu?"

Wu Jieyu refers to Wu Qingyun, half a year ago, she was demoted by the emperor by one level for making a mistake, and she was moved from the main hall of her Weiyang Palace to the side hall, the reason was that she was disrespectful to the first emperor, but she didn't know what exactly happened to annoy the emperor - even Zhao Yanran, the lady of the main palace, didn't know, it was the emperor himself who sent her down - for this reason, she also snubbed her for a period of time, and never went to Weiyang Palace.

However, after the filial piety, among the several palace concubines favored by the emperor, Wu Qingyun had the most times, but it didn't look like she was annoyed.

It turned out that Xia Bangqiu still reminded Zhao Yanran.

At the beginning of Xia, I remembered what Xia Bangqiu said about the 'novel', Wu Qingyun was the main room, and Zhao Yanran was a side concubine, or was completely snubbed by the emperor, just a side concubine who was just a chess piece, she and Wu Qingyun fought from the prince's mansion to the palace, and almost never won.

Xia Bangqiu is a simple character, she is good friends with Zhao Yanran, and she is wary of Wu Qingyun in her heart, she will subconsciously remind her, but she doesn't know that when she says this, others will inevitably be careful.

Zhao Yanran is good, she never said it after listening to it, and at first she just thought that she was not on good terms with this cousin.

Xia Chu glanced at Zhao Yanran's face twice, and there was no jealousy or resentment, but she didn't know why she mentioned this?

Isn't it Wu Qingyun what did she do again?

"The second sister didn't have anything to do with my cousin before, and the relationship was only general," Xia Chu pondered for a moment and said, "But my cousin seems to have a prejudice against my mother's family and has always been very hostile, so I think it should be because of this." ”

Xia Chu's words are not a lie, even in the novel that Xia Bangqiu said, Wu Qingyun has never looked at their sisters squarely, and only regards Xia Xue as a lifelong enemy, but in Xia Bangqiu's words, Xia Xue has become 'cannon fodder' in the first half of the period, and the Xia family has also been pitted without a comeback. Xia Bangqiu and Xia Chu are just 'supporting roles in supporting roles', so naturally they won't look at it in the eyes of the protagonist, but they are tired.

The Xia and Wu families are in-laws, why would Wu Qingyun be hostile to the Xia family? Zhao Yanran frowned, puzzled, and looked at Xia Chu with a hint of inquiry and questioning in her eyes: "Is it just so?" ”

saw Xia Chu nodding affirmatively: "Yes." ”

Rebirth and 'crossing' are too unbelievable in themselves, she is able to accept it because she is also one of them, and even so, it has been several years of psychological construction before she can agree, and gradually doubts the people next to her - such as Gu Teng. However, if she met a woman like Xia Bangqiu in her previous life, she would definitely only think that she was crazy and talked nonsense, how could she accept her remarks that seemed to be unreliable at all?

For example, Wu Qingyun is the main room and Zhao Yanran is the side concubine, which is extremely unreliable in her eyes! Wu Qingyun's family background is mediocre, and her mother's family has no advantage of taking a shot, how can she sit in the position of step-concubine? Zhao Yanran was born in a famous family, her father was a king with a different surname in the dynasty, and her status was noble, how could she allow her daughter to be small? Even if it's the prince's side concubine, it's impossible!

But now, as she said, she did ask the emperor to marry Wu Qingyun, but this time, it was just a side concubine!

Even so, it's incredible! Think about it carefully, the emperor at that time seemed to be bewitched by a ghost, and he had to marry the daughter of a fourth-rank official as a concubine, and the Wu family had no connections, no financial resources, and no power, what did he want?

It can't be true love, right?

Xia Bangqiu said that Wu Qingyun had a "heroine halo", and she was confused and didn't know what she meant, but then she understood a little.

This time, the first emperor still agreed that he married the woman he 'liked', but only as a side concubine, and at the same time, the queen mother at that time, the current queen mother, gave a decree to give the daughter of King Luo to the second prince as a step-concubine.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yanran was older and a concubine, she wouldn't be able to afford to be the original concubine!

The two of them are very different, didn't Zhao Yanran belittle Luo Wangfu by being on the side? It's no wonder that Lord Luo is not angry! The first emperor shouldn't be such a dizzy person, if there is no other reason, then it can only be attributed to the 'heroine's aura' that Xia Bangqiu said!

Things have taken an unexpected turn, as if there is an invisible hand that has set the chaotic chess game right, and brought this twisted relationship back to its original position!

In this regard, Xia Chu did not have any relief, but was a little faintly afraid.

Because she doesn't know if she and Luo Ziqian are also 'mistakes' in this, whether they will be easily erased!

It's not that if you die once, you won't be afraid of death, on the contrary, Xia Chu feels that she is even more afraid of death!

Her parents are harmonious, her brother is pampered, her sister is smart, her aunt and sister-in-law get along like sisters, and her little nephews are also lively and smart, if all this is wrong, how can she face the pain of losing these?

And then there is the Gu family...... The old woman and her mother-in-law were both kind people, and she was not familiar with her father-in-law, but she also knew that he was an invincible general in the mouths of the generals, and his reputation was enough to deter the enemy! And although her Gu Teng was also reborn, he treated her very well, and he didn't have any other thoughts, and both of them tacitly agreed not to ask about each other's past lives - knowing that it didn't make sense to ask, so they didn't ask.

Let her give it all up, she can't do it!

"The Xia family has been ...... to the Wu family" Zhao Yanran subconsciously said the guess in her heart, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong, smiled at her apologetically, and said, "I don't doubt your family, it's just that this is for no reason...... There has to be a reason. ”

Xia Chu understood what she meant, but she couldn't explain it, even Xia Bangqiu didn't dare to say it, she just heard about Xia Xue and Wu Qingyun's "past life" entanglement, and she didn't know it.

If she can't get something right, she will never say it in her mouth, but only let it settle into her heart!

"Back to Niangniang, I don't know, after all, the elders won't tell us about the things of the previous generation." Knowing that Zhao Yanran thought of something else, Xia Chu simply followed her tone and said vaguely: "But I still remember some things when I was a child, when my cousin often came to our house, and the relationship with the eldest sister was very close, and the second sister was a little envious, saying that the cousin was like the eldest sister's own sister......"

When she talked about the original incident, she showed a faint smile, as if recalling the events of her childhood: "At that time, the second sister always had to be close to her cousin, and the eldest sister was not very disturbed, so she always hid in her grandmother's place, and the second sister was very afraid of her grandmother and did not dare to make a fuss in front of her." ”

This second sister is the original one.

The original second sister, she also thought that she had forgotten it, and she didn't want to think about it now, but it was still lifelike. She is a little weak and a little thoughtful, but in fact, she is not close to Xia Xue, and it is probably because of this that she is very jealous that Wu Qingyun always sticks to Xia Xue openly - obviously they are sisters!

In her previous life, Xia Chu was a standard noble daughter, and she was very dignified in front of her younger siblings. Although there are concubines in the family, it will not be very obvious - Xia Xue will not despise her half-sister under the upbringing of Luo Ziqian, but the Wu family does not like Xia Bangqiu, and Xia Xue will naturally not go against her mother's will to take care of this sister.

After Xia Bangqiu came, there was such a big movement, if it weren't for Xia Xue's distress that this sister was pinched by her subordinates and deliberately covered up for her, she would not have been able to drive the dead nurse out of the house so easily!

Zhao Yanran looked at her expression, the nostalgia and smile on her face were not faked in the slightest, and she knew that what she said must be the truth. It's just that in this way, she is even more confused in her heart, is it really just that Xia Wanqiu is jealous that Wu Qingyun has a better relationship with her sister, so she is not pleasing to the eye? No, that's not right...... At that time, Xia Bangqiu was mysterious and secretive, and told her to be careful, that look was clearly afraid that Wu Qingyun would do something bad to her!

She remembered that Xia Chu just said that when she was a child, she had a flash of inspiration, so she continued to ask, "That...... And then? ”

Xia Bangqiu glanced at Zhao Yanran, and was really a transparent person, and said with a smile: "Later, my cousin decided to marry...... I don't interact much. ”

After getting married, you can't always walk around the house, which sounds normal.

But if they are really cousins who have a good relationship, how can they be estranged because of this?

Engagement? Zhao Yanran suddenly remembered this matter, at first when she just returned to Beijing, she didn't know about it. Wu Qingyun is a person on which card is it worth thinking about?

If it weren't for the marriage later, my father would have inquired about the second prince...... No, the emperor personally asked the emperor to marry such a side concubine, she didn't know what kind of green onion Wu Qingyun was!

The news that came back was also very shocking.

That Wu Qingyun is married, and she is still the famous Jin family in Beijing! Of course, later the Jin family made such a shameless thing, so they quit their relatives.

However, this retreat ...... It seems that there are quirks too!

According to his father, the Wu family obviously knew from the beginning that the Jin family was a very 'unbearable' person, after all, his reputation was not only after he was married! still set such a family affair for his daughter, which shows that this is tacit. Even if the maidservant girl is pregnant, and the Jin family is not sensible and foolish, the elders of the Jin family are not confused, and they will never let such a maid have a child in the family when the daughter-in-law has not passed the door! This thing is not small, it is not big, as long as the child in the womb of the servant girl goes, it is just a romantic affair!

How could the Wu family be so resolute and withdraw their relatives!

At that time, she didn't pay attention, but she remembered that her father sneered and said that the Wu family's heart is higher than the sky!

After asking carefully, I realized that when Wu Qingyun withdrew from her family, it happened to be before the decree of the draft in the palace was issued!

But the problem is that the original draft was not proposed by hundreds of officials, but was held by the emperor for his unmarried sons, and there was no news in advance...... Wu family, how did you find out?

And that maid has always been the eldest and youngest of the Jin family before, and has been safe and sound for several years, how can it happen that she was pregnant at that time?

Could it be ...... Can anyone know if the prophet has not?

Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yanran hurriedly shook off the 'unreliable' thought that appeared in her mind, but in the bottom of her heart, she finally fell into a thorn.

In this way, Wu Qingyun's hatred of the Xia family should be something after she got married. Su Wen Najin's family is a perverted embryo, and there are groups of wives and concubines in the family...... At that time, at the marriage banquet, it was not by chance that he fell in love with a girl from the Xia family?

At that time, Xia Bangqiu and the beginning of Xia were still young, even if they were outstanding, they were just children, and the only possibility was Xia Xue.

But Xia Xue has already been married, isn't she?

Zhao Yanran only felt that her head was a mess, and she simply stopped thinking about these things about the Xia and Wu families, and looked at the calm gaze at the beginning of last summer, for some reason, her heart suddenly settled down a lot, paused, and said: "I will suddenly ask about this, in fact, it is not for nothing...... A few days ago, Wu Jieyu was punished, but I didn't know the reason, and the emperor didn't talk about it, but asked me to let Wu Jieyu move to the palace...... I asked the reason, but he only said one sentence, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! ”

Visible...... Wu Qingyun probably said something amazing......

At that time, the emperor's face was full of anger, and he immediately asked her Fengyin to issue an edict to demote Wu Qingyun to Jieyu! It can be seen that Wu Qingyun was really annoyed, but it didn't take long for her to fall in love again! (To be continued.) )
