Chapter 50: Suspicion
The meeting place is set up in an independent hall that sits south and faces north behind the Fengyi Palace, carved beams and painted buildings, open in all directions, similar to pavilions, and hangs the plaque "Zhenyong Palace". For example, a small number of women who ordered to meet the queen were all located here.
Xu Ruliang entered with the queen and stepped directly to the east phoenix seat.
There are four red velvet cushions in front of the phoenix chair, and in front of the right kneeling is the second lady Bao, and then Wen Luo; In front of the left kneeling is the Sanpin lady, Xie Ying's mother Ping, and behind him is kneeling Xie Ying. Xie Zhaoyi was originally sitting in the lower right position, but she also got up to show a little respect, and the fifth princess stood behind her stiffly.
Xu Ruliang was surprised.
Although the capital of Jokhang is located in the northwest, the national body is dominated by the Central Plains culture, and the right is respected.
If this life is different from the previous life, and Xie Ying replaces Wen Luo and is canonized as the second princess, then, according to the grade system, the mother and daughter of the Xie family should kneel on the right, and the mother and daughter of the Wen family kneel on the left.
But the reality is quite the opposite.
Could it be ......
Xu Ruliang thought of a situation and was almost dumbfounded.
The conversation between the queen and the mother and daughter of the Wen family and the Xie family quickly verified her guess.
The queen turned to Xu Ruliang and said softly: "You were still resting the day before yesterday, and the palace didn't mention it to you, that is Miss Wen, who is about to become your second cousin-in-law." There is also Sister Xie, you should change your name to Sister Yongyang in the future. ”
Xu Ruliang's heart "groaned".
Obviously, Xie Ying won the championship, and the emperor should marry the "Oiran" and the second prince. But the Oiran was named the county lord, and the candidate for marriage was still Wen Luo - could it be that the emperor's marriage was not valued by the "Oiran" at all, but by Wen Luo?
No wonder Xie Zhaoyi can't be arrogant!
But in this way......
Too many clues poured into his mind at the same time, Xu Ruliang was so confused that he could barely think, so he had to hurriedly suppress all his thoughts, obey the queen's words, and salute Wen Luo and Xie Ying respectively.
Wen Luo seemed to be prepared, and took off the agate bracelet on his wrist to give Xu Ruliang as a meeting gift.
Xie Ying had seen it before, so he only returned the favor slightly.
Xu Ruliang accepted the gift, obediently returned to the queen's side, and stood with him until the end, until he returned to the Yanfu Palace, he was still restless.
Default...... Default...... Could it be that the selection of the god of flowers for the Hundred Flowers Banquet is just a disguise, and all of them are under the control of the emperor, no matter who is elected as the god of flowers, the person who will be given the marriage in the end will still be Wen Luo?
The marriage between Wen Luo and the second prince is just a move by Emperor Yonghe?
Xu Ruliang remembered her own marriage in her previous life.
In the previous life, Mu Lianxuan ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and he was not in charge of the government at the beginning of his reign, and the military and political power was controlled by several major lords.
On the eve of Mu Lianxuan's pro-government, the chief of the inner government during the Yonghe period, the father-in-law Gao, who had returned to his hometown, handed over a post back to the palace, and read out an edict of the emperor in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, giving marriage to Xu Ruliang and Mu Lianxuan, and selecting Xu Ruliang as Mu Lianxuan's queen.
Many people say that it was an edict forged by King Pingyang, otherwise why didn't the emperor read it out when he just died?
Xu Ruliang also cautiously inquired about Mu Lianxuan, but Mu Lianxuan just rubbed her head dotingly and told her not to think about it.
At that time, she was just a simple child, and she only listened to Mu Lianxuan's words. Now, after a lifetime of growth and transformation, I have been exposed to the art of imperial power, and there are some things, but I can take a look at it from a different perspective......
If you are the Emperor of Yonghe......
Xu Ruliang's breathing stagnated, and his heart was cold.
When he was first reborn, he was only annoyed that he neglected to guard against poisonous women and mothers in his previous life; When I think about it later, it may have been a premeditation by Mu Lianxuan; Later, it was discovered that his father might have interfered in the death of his brother and grandfather; Even now, I suddenly found that I had neglected a crucial person-Emperor Yonghe!
In my impression, this emperor is not only the Son of Heaven, but also her uncle.
In the two short years of getting along in the previous life, every time I saw her, Emperor Yonghe always looked loving, responded to her requests, and doted on her, as if she was the precious "Seven Princesses" like pearls.
was so kind and kind that she forgot that this uncle was not only her uncle, but also the emperor of the Jokhang country!
And the Xu family, in the eyes of the world, is a traitor with wolf ambitions.
Will Emperor Yonghe treat the daughter of a powerful minister sincerely?
If that holy decree was indeed left by the will of Emperor Yonghe, why was it not issued at that time, but it was not announced until the year when Mu Lianxuan was weak and pro-government?
Xu Ruliang recalled his fate in his previous life, and couldn't help but feel chills at his fingertips.
The results of the previous life just proved that doing so could create a deceptive illusion, as if the holy decree was forged by the Xu family. gave the ministers and historians the handle, impeached her, criticized her, tried to depose her, and let the Xu family stand in the muddy and filthy stream, and there were words of suffering......
In fact, Emperor Yonghe is the one who deceived her the most and counted her deadliest!
Xu Ruliang coldly hooked the corners of his mouth.
It's a shame that he still respects this holy king in the mouth of the people as a loving father, but it turns out that he is just a clown in front of him...... Yes, yes, think about Mu Lianxuan, a natural strategist, how can he be a loving father?
"It should have been thought of a long time ago!"
"Does the county lord already know?" Yun Bocha came in from the outer hall and asked in a little surprise.
Xu Ruliang put away his thoughts and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Yun Bo presented a red gilded invitation, and said: "The queen mother sent someone to send a message, and the third day of the next month, the county lord of Liyang and the ceremony will invite you to attend the ceremony." ”
The words on the invitation look like the handwriting of the county lord of Liyang.
Xu Ruliang raised his eyebrows almost invisibly.
That day, she refused the kindness of the county lord of Liyang, and she didn't feel the displeasure of the county lord of Liyang, but the prestige of the family was more important at that time, and she had no choice. But I'm afraid that the friend of the county lord of Liyang will not be able to make friends.
Unexpectedly, the county lord of Liyang would personally write a post inviting her to watch the ceremony...... It should be at the behest of Princess Yu.
Why did Princess Yu suddenly attach so much importance to her?
If it was said that it was because of Mu Su's gambling contract that he brought her into the palace in Pingyang Palace, now that they have no intersection at all, what reason is there to invite her to attend?
There was also the previous Hundred Flowers Banquet.
In the previous life, although it was not broken, most of the women of the clan such as Princess Yu stood on the Wen Wei faction.
In this life, Xu Ruliang clearly remembers that the younger generation of clan wives led by Princess Yu voted for Xie Ying in the selection stage.
Why is this happening?
Xu Ruliang put down the invitation in his hand, paced to the window, and looked out the window at the lush forests and bamboos, and his heart was heavy.
So many different things have happened in this life compared to previous lives.
These differences must be due to some factors that have changed. For example, she was reborn and became treacherous, so that the poisonous woman could not go well with everything; For example, the rebirth of the second prince became excellent, which made Xuanxuan have a sense of crisis and get closer to the Xu family......
However, the impact of her change was limited to the interior of the Binh Duong Palace.
And the second prince, although he has become a person with outstanding martial arts, superb equestrian skills, and superb medical skills, but the rumors about him in the outside world are still "sick seedlings" and "bedridden all year round", which shows that the second prince has done a very good job of covering up purposefully, and the impact will not affect Wen Luo and Xie Ying.
So, the change in the competition between Wen Luo and Xie Ying, whose change is the impact?
Is it Wen Luo who wants to avoid disaster when he is reborn, or Xie Ying who wants to save it, or who wants to be manipulated by a third party?
How many reborn people are there around?
Are they friend or foe?
If you make a heavy change, will you startle the snake or expose the target?
The feeling of being in the dark is very tricky.
Xu Ruliang didn't want to rashly do something uncertain, so he said to Yunbo: "I am already panicking in the palace, and I just want to do more than less, but the sister of the county lord of Liyang and Lu are big days...... I'll go meet the Queen Mother first. ”
Yunbo looked relieved, nodded and responded with "yes", and served Xu Ruliang to go to Fengyi Palace.
