Chapter 134: The Eldest Princess's Matter
It is not yet known whether Sister Hui'er's plan has been approved by her godfather Dingbeihou. was sent by the old lady to pick him up in a hurry.
When leaving, he happened to meet Zhang Guyuan in a hurry to return from school, and the two just met in a hurry and didn't say anything, so they separated.
Xia looked at her with hidden worries on his face, but he still couldn't take her seriously from the Chu family.
"I will tell you what happened to you through the eldest princess, and the seventh princess will also let the eldest princess tell you, and when you get to the palace, you just have to wait." Xia could only explain in such a whisper.
Although Sister Hui had doubts, she also nodded in response.
When she hurried back to the house, as soon as she entered the Shoukang Hall, she saw that the old lady who was usually resting in bed at this moment was radiant, dressed noble and elegant, sitting in the hall and laughing with an old woman. When he saw her walk in, he smiled at the old woman beside him: "Look, this is my third granddaughter who doesn't grow up." ”
Seeing this, Sister Hui smiled at the old woman, then narrowed her eyes and bowed: "Granddaughter greets grandmother and greets distinguished guests." ”
"Well, Sister Laihui, this is Mrs. Qinghehou of the Hou clan." The old lady stretched out her hand and beckoned to Sister Hui'er, introducing the people around her
"Greetings to Madame." Sister Hui saluted again.
"Well, it's a good boy, she once danced in the queen's palace, and the queen also told me that she thinks she is a well-behaved child who knows how to be polite."
Mrs. Qinghehou is a very soft-spoken old woman, although her face has long been covered with traces of time, but she is also beautiful and looks amiable.
But because of her special status, Sister Hui still didn't dare to slack off, "Madame's false praise is just some ordinary skills taught by Mr. Boudoir, but it is the queen's pity." ”
"You don't have to be modest, the people the queen values will definitely not be wrong." After Mrs. Qinghe Hou said this, she looked at the old lady and smiled, as if she had a deep meaning. Sister Hui was unpredictable, but she suddenly felt flustered.
"Okay, you're tired too, go down and rest. By the way, I heard that you don't think about eating and drinking lately, this is not good, if you want to eat something in the evening, just tell the small kitchen, if not, just let the people below do it. The old lady hadn't said such "heartwarming" words to Sister Hui for a long time, which made her even more uneasy.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qinghehou smiled and said: "You are really a good grandmother, and the lady in the capital has a good heart." ”
When Sister Hui'er heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she bowed with a smile: "Grandmother, madam, Hui'er will step back first, so as not to prevent grandmother and Mrs. from talking." ”
"Well, go ahead."
As soon as Sister Hui came out of the door of Shoukangtang, she beckoned the ink painting that had been following behind her to come forward: "Go, inquire, why did this Mrs. Qinghe Hou come here, why did the old lady call me back in a hurry?" ”
Mo Hua was also present at the time, so he naturally noticed something unusual and quickly nodded in response.
Two days passed, Sister Hui looked for ink paintings every day to inquire about the situation, and the ink paintings all hung their heads and shook their heads with shame on their faces.
Sister Hui looked at it and became more and more uneasy. Even when it was time to go into the palace to accompany him, he forgot about it, but Qiu Ju packed up her baggage and came to remind her to remember.
Sister Hui thought that she could get another news after entering the palace, but she was a little energetic, and kept comforting herself in her heart: If that thing can be done, the old lady's life is not guaranteed, where is there any strength to rectify her.
Entering the palace with such thoughts, he has lived two or three absent-minded days.
"Sister Hui'er, what's wrong with you? Look at the appearance that you have been unruly since you entered the palace, could it be that you have encountered some difficulties? Yan Youlan, who lived in the same hall, couldn't help but ask when she saw that she was like this.
"Oh, nothing." Sister Hui shook her head and unconsciously turned a page of the book in her hand.
"Don't turn it, in such a small half an hour, you have read most of "Mencius". This morning, too, the princess called you for a long time and did not see you answering her. In the afternoon, I bumped into the third princess again, but I was almost not beaten by the ancestor! It was our princess who stopped it, and the third princess let you go because of what our princess had helped before. Every time I enter the palace, I have to tell the family for a long time, saying that this palace is the most careful and attentive place, if you do this again, you are afraid that you will get into trouble! If you have something difficult in your heart, you may wish to tell me about it, and let's think about it together. Sister Lan snatched the book from her hand and said worriedly.
Sister Hui smiled gratefully: "It's really nothing, but a few days ago, Mrs. Qinghehou came to my grandmother's place, and my grandmother summoned me to meet her." I'm not afraid of your jokes, you know what the situation is in the house, but since Mrs. Qinghe Hou came that day, my grandmother suddenly became kind to me again, and I felt uneasy. ”
In the end, she wants to be a companion to read, Sister Lan has also inquired a little about her, and the others may not know, but the Xia family must have known about accompanying her into the palace to complain.
Sister Lan, as the second girl of Yan Ge's hometown, although there must be fights in the mansion where several generations are in the same house, she has never encountered such a vicious grandmother and these chaotic poisonous schemes.
Hearing what Sister Hui said, her face was even more worried, so she came up with an idea: "The matter of the third princess last time was so complicated, and it was also the way for the seventh princess to think of it, we might as well go and beg the princess and let the princess support you." ”
"Forget it, Xu Ye also thinks too much, but it is still inconvenient to involve the princess in these family affairs." Sister Hui shook her head and said
The old lady is not a person who doesn't know that she is the seventh princess, but she still dares to calculate, so she naturally has a way to avoid the princess. What's more, the old lady didn't do anything at this time, if the seventh princess rashly came forward to support her, I am afraid that she will also be criticized.
"By the way, Sister Lan, do you know why the eldest princess got the title of eldest princess? I remember the laws of Great Xia, only the emperor's sisters can be crowned the eldest princess. Sister Hui remembered what Xia said, so she asked the doubts in her heart, which could be regarded as preparing for the meeting on another day.
"Oh, this, you are afraid that you also know that when the canonization was made, the edict drafted by Zhongshu Province said that the eldest princess was the eldest princess, and she was educated by the former queen, with both ability and political integrity, and a gentle and dignified temperament, which was an example for the princesses, so she was named the eldest princess."
"Yes, but I heard that the eldest princess is not from Queen Jiao's family, her biological mother is not high, and there is no one in the maternal family who is an official." Sister Hui nodded and continued.
According to the practice of the Great Xia Dynasty, since the founding of the dynasty, no father was named the eldest princess when he was the emperor.
There were two in the previous dynasty, but one was added to the princess because the princess was the queen's concubine, and the descendants were powerful and had countless contributions, and there was no seal; The other is also a descendant, and he once personally put on the battle to defend the country, so he was able to be sealed.
"I once heard my grandmother talk to my mother and several aunts, but I didn't know whether it was true or not. said that Queen Jiao's had nothing to do for many years, so she raised the eldest princess by her side and treated her like a daughter since she was a child. But later, due to the matter of the crown prince, the Jiao family was expelled from Beijing, and the Jiao family queen was not spared when she was pregnant with Liujia. Everyone thought that the eldest princess would also fall out of favor from then on, and at that time, there were many self-righteous harem people who harmed the eldest princess. But this matter was later learned by the emperor, and the emperor gave the title of the eldest princess, and no one dared to bully the eldest princess after that. Sister Lan lowered her voice and whispered.
Sister Hui felt that although the latter version was a little incredible, the truth might be hidden behind this incredible.
Nodding his head, he said, "Oh, I see." In the past, I saw that the eldest princess was very stylish, but I never thought that there would be such a past. ”
"Yes, nobles also have nobles' sufferings, and when the seventh princess becomes an adult, we will also go home, and I am afraid that we will be able to avoid these rights and wrongs at that time." Sister Lan nodded and sighed.
After that, the two talked about some miscellaneous rumors in the palace, until they were tired and turned off the lights and went to sleep.
(If you want to know what Sister Hui's plan is, you have to collect and pay attention to it!) )
