Chapter 80: Temptation
Jiang was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Nonsense! What is the identity of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, how can she deign to come to me to say goodbye? ”
While speaking, he led the crowd to greet him, and met the eldest princess and his wife in the court, and saw Sui An come up to perform a family salute, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said: "If the courtier goes to ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for peace, how dare you work Your Highness?" ”
The eldest princess of Sui'an noticed that she looked at Xie Wuzheng's eyes with reproach, and said with a smile: "Aunt is the concubine of the concubine, isn't she also the elder of Sui'an?" The juniors greet the elders, of course, where is there any labor that does not work? When the aunt said this, she was out of sight. ”
"Your Highness is a golden branch and a jade leaf." When Jiang heard this, he was moved, "Is it the same as an ordinary woman?" The courtiers are just a country person, and they can't afford such courtesy from His Royal Highness. ”
Princess Sui'an said: "The aunt is virtuous and virtuous, and her daughter is well-gmannered, and she is a virtuous person respected by the royal brothers, so what should she not deserve?" ”
The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, sat down together, and had to talk about goodbye.
The Jiang family talked to Xie Wuzheng about some big house things, probably that everything was fine at home, so let them not worry.
And Xie Wuzheng and his wife sued the Jiang family, and they failed to stop the fight between the Xie family and the children some time ago: "It made the mother sad, and it also involved the four aunts running thousands of miles." ”
"Where can I blame you for this?" Jiang sighed lightly when he heard this, and said, "I know the nature of twenty-one best, and he has always been a child who abides by the rules. Now that the children in the family are older than you, where can you pull your face to say anything about them? The concubine blames other people, why do you blame you? I know you're all sensible people. But it's those few who are confused, and they ruin the family's feelings. But since they are all the blood of the Xie family, as long as they are not obsessed and unrealize, they will still be their own family after all! ”
There is such a harmony between relatives.
The Jiang family left Xie Wuzheng and his wife to have dinner together, and during the banquet, Xie Wuzheng served vegetables for the eldest princess of Sui'an, which was natural, and the eldest princess of Sui'an was still a little shy at first, and paid attention to the expression of the Jiang family from time to time.
After eating, rinsing their mouths, and saying a few words of gossip, the Jiang family personally sent them to the Weeping Flower Gate, and the eldest princess and the concubine left in absence.
Jiang Ai helped Jiang back to the room, made her a warm rose dew, mixed it with some honey, Jiang drank it slowly, and asked softly, "What do you think?" ”
"The horse coaxed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess very well." Jiang Ai said, "I didn't live up to the hard work of the concubine Niangniang...... Alas, it's just that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yun'an is counting that the days are about to be born, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Sui'an has no news, no wonder the eldest lady is anxious, and she doesn't forget to tell you to urge when she is lucky. ”
"Sister-in-law is a fool." Jiang said lightly, "What kind of family is Xie?" It is already a blessing to be able to still be the master, and I still want to climb high branches without paying at all, what is it not a dream? Not to mention that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Sui'an has only been in the door for many years, even if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has no heirs in her life, our family should hold her respectfully! This is still Her Royal Highness the eldest princess guarding the woman, changing the sex - harder, looking for a prime minister outside, so that he was born not the heir of the Xie family's children, but as long as His Majesty does not dislike this heir, we have to pinch our noses and admit it...... If you don't have any consciousness at all, you shouldn't have taken this family business in the first place! ”
Jiang Ai smiled and said, "The eldest lady is such a person since she was born, and she can't afford things. This is when you come to the imperial capital, she is so pouting, if she sees Her Royal Highness the eldest princess herself, how can she dare to make irresponsible remarks? ”
"Don't talk about her." Jiang sighed and said, "My sister-in-law has been confused all her life, and the heirs under her knees used to look at it like that. I haven't noticed this twenty-one before, and I always feel that although he is not bad, his studies are okay, but that's what happened. Who knows, but he is a clumsy person, but now look, this scheming city is not much worse than the concubine. ”
"You say that, but you lift him up." Jiang Ai thinks, "He can have today, in the final analysis, he is still stained with the light of his mother!" There is no mother, he is so talented and talented, and it is his turn to be a royal colt? Even if the performance is acceptable now, in the final analysis, it is the mother's suggestion that he is willing to listen to. Our mother is the one who started from scratch to this day, how can he compare? ”
Jiang said: "No matter how he got to this day, with his status as a concubine, and the eldest princess's obedience to him, and even for the fact that he is willing to condescend to come to me to greet him, we must not despise him!" ”
Speaking of this, holding his breath and making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, Fang sighed a little melancholy, saying that he had known that things would be like this, "I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to marry Eighteen in the first place." ”
Otherwise, if Xie Driyu, who shares a Xixi seat with Yun Fenghuang's mother, is unmarried, how can it be the turn of the person who gets the big house to do such a good thing as a horse?
"Let's not talk about that." It is impossible for the first marriage of the golden branch and jade leaf to be a continuation for people, even if there are exceptions, it must be quite a heavy minister or a heavy minister, and it is not the turn of a person like the Xie family, so the Jiang family does not regret it, and said, "It's just that the mother is in the deep palace, and the children outside used to be managed by Xiao Jiu, but now it seems that Xie Yu's talent and prestige are insufficient, and he can't suppress the younger brothers below." According to our selfishness, of course, we hope that Thirteen can go up, but this is not a ...... You say, in the long run, who will be the head of the family? ”
Jiang Ai said in a low voice: "That's why I want you to come over and give the thirteenth son and eighteen sons some guidance, presumably this is also the meaning of the palace mother." After all, where can cousins compare with brothers who are siblings of the same mother? ”
Jiang said: "Everyone has selfish intentions, and I naturally hope that my children will take any benefits, and my children will take any leads." But Niangniang's side is okay, we can't help, all we can do is not to make trouble for her, the problem is, thirteen and eighteen are looking at it now, but it may not be the opponent of twenty-one! ”
…… Yun Fenghuang in the palace has received the news of the arrival of Jiang's mother and son, so he is a little nostalgic: "I haven't seen the eighteenth brother for several years, and the eighteenth sister-in-law, I used to play with her when I was in the boudoir, I don't know what it looks like now?" ”
Qing Ren said: "Or Ming'er let's mention it to Your Majesty, and let the eighteenth prince and the eighteenth young lady enter the palace to meet you?" ”
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "Let's see when my mother will deliver the post, anyway, everyone is here, and I am not in a hurry." Maybe my mother wants to talk to Xie Yu and them first? ”
As he was talking, a message came from outside, saying that the concubine asked to see him.
"Why are you here now?" Yun Fenghuan was a little surprised when he heard this, and ordered someone to invite him to the flower hall to serve tea, and he went in to change into the clothes and skirts of the guests, and then went, and then waved his hand to stop Concubine Shu's salute, and asked, "Isn't there something wrong?" ”
Because Concubine Shu was not very comfortable some time ago, the two days of greeting were intermittent, and it was impossible for her to come and walk around without anything.
Listening to the words of the concubine at this moment, she really showed a look of wanting to say something.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang asked his subordinates to withdraw, and Concubine Shu cautiously explained her intentions: "Niangniang, you know, not long ago, the princess of Yiguo was gone, and she walked very undignified......
In the face of many rumors, the Yiguo Mansion insisted on claiming that it was the son of the world who had a postpartum blood collapse, and the grandson who was born prematurely was not saved because of weakness, and the mother and son died one after another.
Because of the promotion of this statement, few people in the market believe it, and the high-ranking families are even clearer.
It's just that although the Han family is not a first-class family, it is also the lintel of the five generations of officials, although there has been some decline in the past two years, in the end, the ancestor Yu Ze is still there, and the old lady and old lady who have been raising their family for a long time are crying and begging everywhere, plus the father and son of the Duke of Yiguo always have to think of the dignity of the Duke of Yiguo, all in all, everyone still follows the declaration of the Duke of Yiguo, and it will be tactful at best, which can be regarded as a dignity given to each other by the magnates.
These Yun Fenghuan knew it in their hearts, and said at this moment: "This matter, could it be that it has something to do with your family?" ”
“…… Yesterday, a family handed over a message, saying that the Yiguo Gong entrusted someone to inquire about whether the housemate Fulu had allowed someone. Concubine Shu carefully observed Yun Fenghuan's expression and said, "Although it is just a probe for the wind, the family does not dare to answer without permission, so let the concubine come and tell the mother." ”
Yun Fenghuan looked calm and said with a smile: "How can you tell this palace about such things?" Although this palace is the daughter of the Yun family, the son of the world is the cousin of this palace, how can there be a reason in this world for a cousin to be the marriage of the main cousin? Not to mention my uncle and aunt. ”
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Don't dare to hide it from Niangniang, it's like this, the family didn't have much contact with the Yun family in the past, because they don't know the temperament of the prince, and the Yiguo Mansion is easy to get along with?" Fulu is a cousin of a concubine, and she is also a favorite daughter of the family. Of course, the uncle and aunt at home hope that she can entrust her beloved. Although the prince of Yiguo has gone, there are no heirs left under his knees, and the prince is still young, and he is also a person who is both talented and neat, and it is rumored that the prince and the princess of Liguo are also very kind...... But as the saying goes, knowing the face but not the heart, the concubine does not know whether Fulu and the prince will definitely join the contract. Therefore, thinking that Niangniang is the cousin of the prince, may I help solve one or two doubts? ”
Implication: The status of the prince of Yiguo is stable, although he has been married, and remarrying is a continuation, but everyone knows that Xiao Han's smothering of his parents and children is considered to be a bad thing for the whole family, and in contrast, the requirements for the bride are greatly reduced.
In addition, Yunqike is young and handsome, and his conduct is not bad, this time his wife and children died, most people seem to be responsible for Xiao Han's family, especially after Xiao Han's smothering of his parents and children, there is no Yuan match heir left to hinder the eyes of his stepwife, in fact, it is the treatment of Yuan match...... After all, as far as Xiao Han's approach is concerned, the so-called treatment such as letting Xu Xian give Yuan a salute during the New Year's festival and a joint funeral in the future, I also know that the Yun family will definitely not give it.
And the Han family didn't have the face to ask for it.
In short, the Ouyang family was more tempted by this family matter, but they were afraid of offending Yun Fenghuan because of this, so they asked Concubine Shu to come over to say hello in advance.
If they got Yun Fenghuan's consent, they would also agree.
"The status of this palace was low at that time, although because of Concubine Xie, I often went in and out of the Guogong Mansion, but I was not very familiar with the people in the Guogong Mansion." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "It's about your cousin's life, this palace doesn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise, I will miss her for a lifetime, what can I do?" ”
"Niangniang......" Concubine Shu thought she was unwilling, but she felt sorry in her heart, and subconsciously called out.
But he heard Yun Fenghuang say: "It's just that the palace is a little curious, the funeral of the Yiguo Mansion has just been completed, why is the uncle so eager to choose a famous lady for the son?" ”
Although the Yun family must hate Xiao Han to death now, and they will not be willing to let Yun Qike keep her filial piety, but since they all claim that Xiao Han died of a postpartum blood collapse, they are so anxious to let Yun Qike marry again, isn't this a rush to let the Yun family settle down, so that the outside world thinks that Yun Qike has no conscience!
Or is the desire of Yun Zhao and his wife to hold their grandson so strong that they can't even wait for ten days and half a month?
"Niangniang, what Yiguo Gong means is to settle the marriage first, and then perform the six ceremonies in a few months." Concubine Shu hurriedly said, "But it wasn't announced immediately. ”
But this is still too urgent.
Yun Fenghuang hadn't thought about whether to support the marriage between the Ouyang family and the Yun family, and prevaricated to send away Concubine Shu, so he wondered why Yun Zhao was in such a hurry?
She thought about it for a long time to no avail, and when she saw Chunjia coming over in the evening, she asked him: "A lady concubine came over today, and the concubine said that the princess of Yiguo privately wanted to say that her cousin was making a continuation for the prince, and the concubine felt that this was also a hurry!" Isn't there any recent change in the Guogong Mansion? ”
Chun Jia thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Isn't the biggest change in the Guogong Mansion now what the poisonous woman of the Xiao Han clan did?" ”
"Is there anything else going on?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Then why is my uncle so anxious? ”
“…… Xu was angry with Xiao Han, right? Chunjia wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed vividly, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to, push it, since the Ouyang family asked Concubine Shu to come over and ask you what you mean, obviously even if you have a heart for this family business, you still value you more in the end." ”
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "I'm afraid that after the resignation, the Duke of Yiguo will be sad and provoke His Majesty's pity!" ”
"I also love you more." Chunjia said calmly, "Don't you know? ”
Yun Feng said in his heart If you really hurt me more, Xiao Han still has a chance to commit suicide?
She didn't bother to talk about this with the emperor, so she admitted it with a smile, and then diverted the topic and said something else: "Counting the days, Concubine Xian is about to be born, and there will be good news in the next two days." ”
Chunjia was not very interested in Yuan Yiniang, so she casually said a few perfunctory words, but remembered: "Yun'an is also about the same time, I am thinking about whether to give the child something reward." ”
…… Why isn't my sister-in-law pregnant?
Yun Fenghuang regretted in his heart, and said: "According to the concubine's opinion, even if Your Majesty wants to be gracious, you still have to wait for Her Royal Highness Princess Yun'an to raise her body and bones?" Otherwise, when the time comes, wave after wave of congratulations, don't give her any chronic illness in her confinement, it will be troublesome. ”
Drag it out, in case there is good news in Sui'an, you can also rub a wave!
Chunjia didn't know what she was thinking, and when she thought about it, she bowed her head: "Then wait until the child is full of weeks." ”
Waiting for the next morning, Yun Fenghuang asked Chen Jing to inquire if there was anything bad to publicize in the Yiguo Mansion in the past two days?
But Chen Jing investigated and told her that the atmosphere in the Yiguo Mansion had not been very good in the past two days, but nothing had changed.
And in the afternoon, Concubine Shu came over again, and the words were that if the concubine was willing to agree to this family business, the Ouyang family was willing to give a certain benefit as a reward for her noble hand.
