Chapter Fifty-Six: Lord of Hengning
At the beginning, Sheng Zi'an and Shizi (diàn) thought about the same, until Aoyagi's words reminded Sheng Zi'an.
Aoyagi said when he was serving Sheng Zi'an to bed: "Madame is really kind and rewarded, now the people in the capital know that Madame has saved the Queen Mother's mother (qíng), who will dare to say that you are not in the future!" ”
It was this sentence that made Sheng Zi'an realize that something was wrong.
"The prince (diàn) thinks that now the noblewomen of various families in the capital, how do they look at the courtiers?"
Sheng Zi'an threw the question to Xiao Jue.
Shizi (diàn) rarely doesn't know how to answer, he has spent a lot of his thoughts on the court over the years, and there are very few of them on women (shēn).
"Please answer Madame." He admitted defeat, but saw Sheng Zi'an smile all of a sudden, and his beautiful face was like a blooming bud in an instant, and the color was amazing.
"Naturally, I am jealous that my courtiers can marry the prince (diàn) and get such a good marriage!" Sheng Zi'an winked at Xiao Jue playfully, and when she saw that a smile appeared in the eyes of the prince (diàn), she was about to tease a few words, but she became serious again.
Blocking the words of Shizi (diàn) in his throat, Sheng Zi'an's fingertips knocked twice on the table: "Shizi (diàn) look, this is where things (qíng) are wrong!" ”
She did it on purpose, looking at Xiao Jue with a helpless look, Sheng Zi felt a lot more relieved, so she explained to Xiao Jue.
"There are many girls in the capital, not because they like courtiers, they socialize with courtiers, but because courtiers are engaged to you under the prince (diàn), so they have to socialize with courtiers. You say, can such a person be really good to his courtiers? ”
Shizi (diàn) shook his head.
"None of the people who came that day really talked to the courtiers, how did the news that came out after the courtiers saved the queen mother, she went back to say that the courtiers were descending to earth..."
Sheng Zi'an laughed self-deprecatingly:
"The courtiers still have a little self-knowledge, after hearing the rumors, if they didn't know that this was themselves, the courtiers would still think that it was a living bodhisattva who came down somewhere!"
"Compare your heart to your heart, if you don't like a person under the son of the world (diàn), will you deliberately say good things about this person in front of others, and then let this person gain a good reputation? Anyway, the courtiers can't do it. ”
Sheng Zi'an said very frankly (dàng): "Unless, in this way, what is good for her, or this is a killing!" Let the courtiers fly higher, the more painful it will be to fall......"
After listening to what Sheng Zi'an said, Xiao Jue's god (qíng) also paid attention to it: "I didn't expect that there are so many unspeakable things in the interaction between you women." I've had a lot of insight today. ”
"How else can three women hold up a show? Under the world (diàn), underestimating a woman will not end well. ”
Xiao Jue spread his hands: "Where do I dare, how dare I look down on Madame?" Madame, don't underestimate it's good to be a husband. ”
After he finished speaking, he asked seriously, "Can I help you keep an eye on it?" ”
"It's not needed for the time being, the courtiers want to see what these people are going to do. Chop the weed, you still have to eradicate the roots!"
After some (rì) children, the Queen Mother really let people pass Sheng Zi'an into the palace.
Sheng Zi'an entered the palace several times, and this time it was also familiar, and when she arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen Mother sat on the main seat, and her complexion was much better than when she was sick that day.
Princess Guide was also there, when she saw Sheng Zi'an coming in. She greeted her excitedly: "Zi'an! ”
She is wearing a light blue dress today, and her makeup is also very light, which looks a lot more pitiful than usual.
She grabbed Sheng Zi'an's arm: "Zi'an, thanks to you that day..."
Sheng Zi'an smiled at her, took out his arm quietly, and saluted the Queen Mother: "The courtiers greet the Queen Mother." ”
"Zi'an is here, hurry up and let the mourning family take a look."
The Queen Mother's (rè) (qíng) this time was different from usual, she smiled and beckoned Sheng Zi'an to pass, Sheng Zi'an did not correct (qíng), and walked over obediently.
"Good girl, thanks to you that day, the mourning family picked up a life...."
"The queen mother's words are serious, the courtiers are just some fur and some carving insect skills, in fact, it still depends on the imperial doctors, and the courtiers dare not take credit."
Sheng Zi'an said with a frank expression (dàng), not a little complacent, the Queen Mother was even more satisfied with it, and felt that she really found a good princess for Xiao Jue.
"You kid, the mourning family said that it was your credit, that is, your credit, the imperial doctor said that if you hadn't acted in time that day, the mourning family would not have been able to come up."
The Queen Mother took Sheng Zi'an's hand, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, she didn't notice it before, and she felt that this child (xìng) was too soft, so she let Guide test it.
Now it seems that it is rare for him to look away, this kid has a clear idea, he is quick to do things, he does not hesitate, he is a person who can achieve great things, and it is rare to be so stable at such a young age.
Princess Guide saw that the Empress Dowager had almost said it, so she came over and blessed Sheng Zi (shēn):
"It's all because I didn't think about it, I almost caused an accident to the imperial grandmother, thanks to Zi'an that day, I really didn't do anything, I was so scared, fortunately Zi'an, you shot in time."
Sheng Zi'an turned to the side (shēn), and his tone was very sincere: "Don't say that, the princess doesn't say that, the matter (rì) (qíng) is still the princess's quick reaction, and she hurriedly called the imperial doctor, how can the courtiers afford the princess's (diàn) ceremony?" The princess (diàn) must not be. ”
Who knows, Guide revealed a somewhat lonely god (qíng), and she forced a smile and said:
"After that day, I knew that what I had done in this matter (qíng) was really outrageous, and I couldn't help it, so I begged the emperor's uncle to take the title of this princess..."
"Otherwise, Guide is really faceless!"
Her words were beyond Sheng Zi'an's expectations, Princess Guide was a powerful person at first glance, because of her princess (shēn) share, she could do this unruly, why did she take the initiative to give up her princess (shēn) share this time?
Seeing her looking, Guide continued: "Originally, it was the emperor's grandmother and imperial uncle who took pity on her and gave Princess Guide the title, but Guide knew in his heart that it was just taking advantage of this time to remove the title of princess, and I felt better in my heart..."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
The Empress Dowager really felt sorry for Guide, and when she saw her shedding tears, she sighed and said to Sheng Zi'an: "Guide is really grateful to you, then (rì) have to beg the emperor to give you the position of the county lord, and said that she would exchange her princess title for it." ”
Sheng Zi'an immediately knelt down: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to see clearly, the courtiers really can't afford this honorific title!" ”
"The emperor said that you can afford it, you can afford it, you are about to marry Jue'er, you can afford this title, wait for this holy decree to come down, you don't have to think too much."
The Queen Mother comforted Sheng Zi'an.
Sheng Zi'an nodded hesitantly, stood up (shēn), like a little girl who didn't understand anything, and was relieved to hear the name of her future husband.
Princess Guide, no, now the lord of Guide, looked at Sheng Zi'an's worried appearance, and also persuaded: "Zi'an, now that the two of us are the same, you don't have so much courtesy with me in the future, I really treat you as a sister!" ”
Sure enough, after a while, the emperor's decree came, and Sheng Zi'an knelt down to accept it.
On the emperor's holy decree, Sheng Zi'an became the county lord, and was named Hengning, the county lord of Hengning.
The fief was next to the fief under King Yu (diàn).
He was also rewarded with some other gold and silver jewels, such as silk and satin, but they were not worth mentioning compared to the county lord's share (shēn).
Even Sheng Zi'an was really surprised, after all, Shizi (diàn) was embarrassed, and he should not be treated by the emperor, why was he so generous this time.
The title given to the county lord of Sheng Zi'an, on the surface, was asked by the county lord of Guide to the emperor and the queen mother for his little sister, but in fact, it was also decided by the emperor and the queen mother after careful consideration.
The Empress Dowager originally felt that Sheng Zi'an's (shēn) share was too low, even if this girl was a good one, it was too different from the (shēn) share of the prince, and it was easy for people to see that Xiao Jue was actually not so favored.
The emperor felt that by virtue of the Empress Dowager's mother, he only raised Sheng Zi'an's share (shēn), but did not raise Sheng Zi'an's maiden family.....
Sheng Zi'an's share of the county lord (shēn) was thus decided.
Shizi (diàn) said that in the future, he would not dare to make a mistake in front of Sheng Zi'an, after all, the lady's (shēn) share is now high.
"Shizi (diàn), you seem to think that the courtier's (shēn) share is low, and this (rì) son can't pass." Sheng Zi'an also likes it now, and lets the prince (diàn) eat this activity.
Then you can see Shizi (diàn) stunned for a moment, and then, the smile will spread from his beautiful and deep eyes, and spread to his face, revealing a somewhat helpless and somewhat doting smile.
"How dare you for your husband, Madam really misunderstood..."He made a gesture to Sheng Zi'an.
"I didn't say it last time, but after seeing the Lord of Guide this time, I was a little more sure."
Sheng Zi'an frowned, and lowered her voice a little: "The illness of the Queen Mother may be related to the Lord of Guide." ”
Hearing this, the smile on the face of the prince (diàn) was retracted, the Queen Mother is one of the few people who is really good to Xiao, for so many years, Xiao Jue has been protected by many Queen Mothers.
I also have a sincere admiration for the Queen Mother, but when I hear that someone is unfavorable to the Queen Mother, how can I sit idly by?
"The courtiers noticed that the smell of incense in the house seemed to be stronger, and the smell was a little unusual..."
Xiao Jue is extremely smart, and he can see through it at all.
"Last time Madame was experimenting with the smell of incense?" He remembered the last time he came, Sheng Zi'an (shēn) said with the heavy smell of incense.
