Chapter 57: Struggle
Qi Xuanhui has always unswervingly maintained a bottom line, that is, he will never let his sweetheart be exposed to his mother too early.
And his insistence is all to protect all the interests of his lover, and he is to seize all the time and do his best to smooth the gap between the two.
Only when the two of them stand on a relatively equal level can Qi Xuanhui give all the best to Cui Wanqing.
Probably only by doing this will he feel worthy of the wonderful love he has realized in this life.
There is no need for anyone to remind Qi Xuanhui, he knows in his heart like a mirror that with the current position of the Cui family, it is okay for his mother to not know now.
Once he knows the matter between him and Cui Wanqing, even if he doesn't pull out the matter of Fengyun Mountain, Cui Wanqing will be in the sky, that is, the life of the concubine.
If it involved the cause and effect of his serious injury, who was he with at that time, his wife thought of these clues, and felt unhappy, and it was reasonable to make him a lady at will.
Qi Xuanhui was ashamed of Cui Wanqing in his previous life, and he fell in love with Cui Wanqing in this life, and the two moods that made him engrave in his heart overlapped at the same time, it was doomed, he had to let Cui Wanqing be a good princess!
But if you take this Aunt Huang on the road together
Well, I can't cover anything with that
Before leaving Beijing, Qi Xuanhui had a lot of taboos, and in order to leave the capital smoothly first, he didn't dare to have any superfluous moves.
As soon as he got on the boat, his top priority. It is to take down Aunt Huang completely.
In Qi Xuanhui's heart, he had actually made up his mind, if this Aunt Huang was on the road, she would stay, and if she was pretentious, she wanted to use the queen mother to pinch him.
Then people will be directly put in a sack, decorated with two stones, and thrown into the river to feed the fish!
Anyway, if he returns to the capital, it will take a year or two at the earliest, and such a long time is enough for the queen mother and her old man to extinguish the fire.
No matter how you say it. Aunt Huang is just a minion. How could the queen mother really be annoyed with her son because of a minion?
Unexpectedly, Aunt Huang is too fine, from Qi Xuanhui's tone and expression. I guessed it.
People are under the eaves. I had to bow my head. In order to save her life, she still chose to surrender to Qi Xuanhui.
From the moment she realized that she was on a cliff, Aunt Huang no longer dared to be dismissive. She is cautious and takes out all her housekeeping skills.
took Qi Xuanhui's housekeeper seriously, not only did he obey the other five mothers who accompanied him, but even the twenty-eight maids bowed down to her.
The housekeeping skills she deliberately showed did make Qi Xuanhui feel a little sorry for his talents.
This prince has lived for two lifetimes, and he doesn't care about the inner house, and he chose Cui Wanqing as the sword in his hand in the past, and now, let Aunt Huang have real ability, and it doesn't hurt to take care of it for a while.
When Cui Wanqing marries in the future, she can entrust everything to the new good princess, with such a thought, Qi Xuanhui deliberately saved a little face for Aunt Huang in front of everyone.
After arriving in Jiangzhou, after the events of the past few days, Aunt Huang has fully understood that this good prince rushed to the south in such a hurry to chase after his sweetheart.
As for the one that sang with himself, it seems that now it is all for the sake of the beauty's future.
Aunt Huang entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and has been in the backyard of the deep palace all her life, from a low-class palace maid to an aunt in charge of the Shangyi Bureau, she has long been familiar with royal affairs.
For example, the original marriage of Prince Rui was decided by the Queen Mother after careful consideration in order to increase the bargaining chips for her eldest son.
And the current good prince, although he does not need to be engaged for the sake of interests, but as a prince who is valued by both the queen mother and the saint, his concubine must also be a noble one.
But the Cui family's family background is there, and it is okay to be a side concubine, and the main concubine is really a few levels behind.
And this Miss Cui Jiajiu, who is favored by the good prince, is not very tall because of her age.
Looks, no matter how good you say, it's just a middle-upper, childishness hasn't faded yet, and it's not much to do with beautiful women, that is, a beautiful woman.
The only bright spot in the whole body is that she is gentle and amiable, generous and dignified, and speaks very skillfully, which can make people easily like her.
By the way, add one more point to her, and that is to be generous.
On that day, Aunt Huang took someone to Cui's house to give a gift, and a total of ten people went, except for the two of them, one of them got a red seal of ten taels of silver.
The rest of those who traveled with him also received a reward of five taels of silver, which was definitely a generous offer.
Judging from this point alone, people say that the Cui family is rich, which is really not a lie.
But just because you have money, you want to sit on the throne of the good princess, that is impossible.
Aunt Huang thought to herself, with the scheming of the good prince, she must have a plan for the Cui Mansion, what is this prince here to do this time, she knows a little bit of rumors.
If Qi Xuanhui can really make an eye-catching contribution, when the time comes, he will propose marriage in front of the Queen Mother, and his waist will be harder.
Of course, all of this must have a premise, that is, before the dust settles, Cui Mansion can make the Queen Mother look up to it!
Aunt Huang is not a person who is blinded by her ears and eyes, she knows that the eldest lady of the Cui family is already a noble concubine, no matter whether she can give birth to the prince smoothly or not, this concubine will definitely not run.
Just look at it, is it to reward her for opening up branches for the royal family and being promoted to the concubine position, or is it to appease the poor person who has lost her arrogance, and she is given the concubine position.
As for Cui Wanyun, who has just been named Yun Concubine, she is also the concubine of the Cui family's West Mansion, this female Yanguan harem, if she can really join hands with the noble concubine.
Within ten years of the harem, no one could compete with the two sisters.
And the third son of the Cui family has long been favored by the saint, and he asked him to help him run errands before he ascended the throne, not to mention this Enke who also participated in this year's Enke?
Aunt Huang can almost imagine this third son of Cui. With such two sisters escorting, what a beautiful career will be in the future.
Clear-eyed people know that the future of the Cui family is bright, but if you want to really improve your status, you have to operate for at least two or three years.
And this is the key to why Qi Xuanhui wanted to hide it from the Queen Mother!
The more Aunt Huang saw it, the more she couldn't figure it out, this ordinary Miss Cui Jiu was only thirteen years old, and she was not as stunning as her sister.
What virtue does she have, how can she make everything excellent good prince. So for her?
It's so nuanced. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's exhausting, right?
Aunt Huang thinks that good luck accounts for the vast majority, and as for the rest, it can probably only be explained by casting eyes and agreeing to one's heart.
But see you Cui Wanqing today. This one's way of doing things. It made Aunt Huang have to start over. Face up to yourself about luck, whether it's correct.
From the wit that Cui Wanqing showed when she was not on the painting boat. I calmly coped with emergencies.
At this point, the elegant and dignified temperament that exuded from the inside out made Aunt Huang's original low favorability towards Cui Wanqing unconsciously climb up by two points.
It's just that these slight favorites are far from enough to meet all the requirements for a princess in Aunt Huang's mind.
She looked at the sedan chair swaying up and down, and thought to herself, "This day is still long, I am not in a hurry, old slave, but I want to take a good look, what kind of surprise can this good prince identify Miss Nine still bring to people?" ”
Aunt Huang didn't realize it, and I don't know when Cui Wanqing had succeeded, arousing her curiosity.
This person is the most afraid of curiosity, once you start to be curious about something, or someone, it will not be far from the time when you fall into the pit
Seeing Cui Wanqing board the painting boat, Qi Xuanhui's heart suddenly felt lost, and he held the vermilion column with his hand, and stood still silently.
After a long time, it was not until the lake surface, when the leisurely painting boat landed on the shore, that he moved his somewhat stiff legs and walked slowly out of the pavilion.
At this time, looking into the distance, on the dock on the other side of the lake, the distinctive green yarn soft sedan car has gone away.
There is only one green gauze soft sedan chair of this material in Manchuria, which was specially ordered by Qi Xuanhui to be specially made for Cui Wanqing's visit.
Not only does it look beautiful, but it is also very comfortable to sit up, as soon as it was completed, Qi Xuanhui personally sat on it and tried it, and nodded in approval when he was satisfied.
Now I see the beautiful woman sitting in the sedan chair, but I can't ask in person, "This sedan chair is still comfortable?" ”
It's a really choke-wrenching feeling
Qi Xuanhui put his hands behind his back, sighed softly, and seemingly unintentionally dispersed, and the last place he stopped was a corner of the back half of Guan Cui Hall.
He seemed to mumble to himself, "Alas, this young lady of the Cui family, do you like it?" Still don't like it? ”
After speaking, Qi Xuanhui raised his head, his gaze passed through the gorgeous eaves of Guan Cui Pavilion, and glanced at the blue sky and white clouds in mid-air.
He stood quietly and majestically, and his tall back was not far from the handsome bamboo forest beside him.
The only difference is that the bamboo forest is swaying in the wind, while Qi Xuanhui is standing steadily and does not move.
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded at the top of the pavilion, "Your Majesty can't ask for it, I'm afraid that the young lady of the family will be wronged if she marries a rough man with no long things." ”
Qi Xuanhui felt that the shape of the white cloud on the left was a bit like a pipa standing up, and asked very casually: "Then you are angry outside, will you be angry with your wife when you go home?" ”
"Well, who gave his subordinates a sense of anger, and his subordinates naturally wanted to find him to make up for it, and make his wife angry, wouldn't it be no different from a scoundrel in the market?" In that deep voice, it was natural, with the spirit of a big man.
Qi Xuanhui turned his body slightly, and his eyes moved to the right, and he felt that the white cloud like a pipa just now looked like a garlic from this angle
I couldn't help but smile a little more in my tone, "Oh." Will your private house be kept by your wife? ”
"Ho, look at what you asked, Lord Wang, such an embarrassing identity as a minister, if there is really a young lady who does not dislike it and marries in, naturally everything will be handed over to others." This time, there was a hint of heartfelt emotion in that deep voice.
"Then you will be developed in the future, will you pamper the beautiful concubine? Don't like chaff? Qi Xuanhui saw two completely different objects from the same cloud in the change of angle.
While secretly feeling fun, he also has a touch of his own feelings.
"If you marry a wife who shares my weal and sorrow with me, and advances and retreats together, can you be disgusted by wealth? That's like a brute! In a deep voice, he replied resolutely.
"Oh, in that case, what is she subjected to?" Qi Xuanhui was very natural and asked the final topic.
Zhang Jianchen was questioned by him this way, and his head was too big, he was a secret guard today, and he couldn't show up on the eaves.
could only lean on the ridge of the roof, scratched his head quite crampedly, and said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from the prince, the Cui family is a century-old family, and the family history of the subordinates makes people blush when they say it." ”
"Your Majesty is really afraid that Miss Cui will be dissatisfied after knowing the truth, this marriage will take a lifetime, and it will always be a young lady who is willing."
"Nonsense, you are a serious grandson of the prince first, how can you be arrogant!"
"Your grandmother and uncle are confused, they listen to your aunt's slander, they treat your mother and son badly, and they are at fault, what do you have to do with it?" When Qi Xuanhui said this, he was a little angry, withdrew his gaze from the research clouds, and snorted coldly: "You come down to this king!" ”
In Qi Xuanhui's two lives, he has never looked down on Cheng Wangye, this is really a big straw bag.
vacated the position of the eldest and attacked the king, but he didn't do anything about people.
I am a greedy and lustful person, and I love to compare, and I will lose a huge palace.
In the end, they hit their own nephew with the idea, and the shameless couple insisted on toppling the old princess, and separated the widowed brother and daughter-in-law and the young nephew out of the palace very unfairly.
occupied the property that the old prince gave to his younger brother at the beginning, so that he could continue to squander.
This incident caused a lot of trouble in the capital at the beginning, but Zhang Jianchen's grandfather's family was weak, and Princess Cheng got close to the concubines in the palace.
And in Emperor Jingyuan's heart, he was desperate, these foreign kings were all gone, where would they come forward to uphold justice?
On the day Zhang Jianchen's mother and son moved out of Chengwang's mansion, Zhang Jianchen's grandfather vomited blood angrily and went not long after.
From this moment on, the three families formed a blood feud.
Later, Zhang Jianchen grew up and was still very promising, and Cheng Wangye asked people to make peace with him, wanting this nephew to go back to the palace to live, so as to add a little confidence to Cheng Wangfu.
But Zhang Jianchen was not moved at all, and remained silent about this matter, estimating that this feud would be remembered until death. (To be continued......)
