Chapter 915: Explanation
Of course, Wen didn't know that his children had become popular marriages in the eyes of others within a day.
She took her two daughters into a carriage and returned to her official residence, and on the way, she asked Xie Mulin about Xiao Rui's background. She had already heard Princess Yan and Master Jing Ming talk about the specific situation, what she wanted to know was, when did her daughter learn the truth?
Xie Mulin told her honestly: "When we passed by the capital, didn't we stay for a while? The eldest princess of Yongning also used our family's garden to set up a banquet to entertain His Royal Highness King Yan, who returned to Beijing from afar. At that time, Xiao Rui followed King Yan into the garden, found a gap, and called me to talk. He told me that he suddenly knew his true life experience for a while, and he was quite surprised, but because Aunt Li had the intention of looking for a short-sightedness, he was busy persuading his biological mother and couldn't care about anything else. When he came to his senses, he began to think about it and told me the truth. Because he had already proposed to his father, and he had also obtained permission, just waiting for General Xiao to open his mouth to propose, and the marriage would be decided. He didn't plan to break the contract, and King Yan didn't mean it, so the marriage contract still had to continue, so he couldn't hide the truth from me, otherwise it would be no different from cheating on marriage. I think that with my father's person, he shouldn't change his hexagram, so it doesn't matter if I tell Xiao Rui. β
Wen's eyes widened, and Xie Yinghui hurriedly took her sister's hand: "You two actually met in private?!" In the garden...... Could it be when you went to look for me?! β
Xie Mulin nodded: "He should have been in the garden for a long time, and he is a junior valued by His Royal Highness King Yan, even if his life experience is not exposed, the attendants of King Yan's Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion will buy his account, so it doesn't take much effort for him to ask someone to find me." Although it is a little inappropriate to meet alone, what he wants to tell me is really not easy for others to hear, so he can only commit a taboo. Fortunately, he was well prepared, and no one noticed about it, and there was no gossip afterwards. Moreover, he asked me to meet, and he should have received the permission and help of His Royal Highness King Yan. β
Xie Yinghui thought that she had met Huang Yan more than once in private, so she naturally couldn't say anything about her sister, so she just said: "Fortunately, Xiao Rui acted quite well and didn't bother you with anything." β
Wen wanted to speak again and again, but after all, he didn't blame his daughter, but only asked: "Since you know the truth inside, why don't you tell your father and me?" β
Xie Mulin smiled embarrassedly: "This kind of thing...... It is related to the rank of King Yan when he was young, as well as the black history of the Xiao family's generations, if I tell them all...... It always felt like something was wrong. Anyway, Xiao Rui also said that King Yan had reported his situation to the palace, the queen mother and the emperor were all aware, and several old princes in the clan also saw his name recorded on the clan jade. Now that the name has been decided, the matter will definitely be made public in the future, and sooner or later Daddy and Mother will know the truth, and then let King Yan personally tell Daddy. We do the ...... of the younger generations It's inconvenient to tell the stories of the elders when they were young. β
Wen remembered that Master Jing mentioned that Xiao Rui was the son of the fiancΓ©e of King Yan and Xiao Mingzhu...... I also felt quite embarrassed in my heart. is obviously a childhood sweetheart, a couple who should have been married for life, but failed to get married because of a mistake, and left behind a parent who should have been the eldest son but could only be reduced to a concubine or illegitimate child. King Yan now looks both stable and wise, but when he was young, he was indeed too ridiculous. No wonder General Xiao Mingde holds a grudge, even if he knows that the so-called concubine he adopted is the only heir of King Yan, he has to hide the child's background for many years and refuse to return him to his biological father.
Wen sighed: "Xiao Rui's kid is not easy. "He was originally the eldest son of the righteous son, and he had the right to inherit the palace that no one questioned, but now he has become an illegitimate son with no name and no share, and whether he can become a prince depends on the holy will. He has been a concubine in the Xiao family for many years in the past, and he doesn't know how many grievances he has suffered. Fortunately, now King Yan has recognized his son back, otherwise wouldn't he be too pitiful? The golden branches and jade leaves have fallen into dust, which is really embarrassing.
Xie Yinghui asked her sister: "Is he still called Xiao Rui now?" Now that you have recognized your ancestors and returned to your ancestors, you should always have a real name, right? What's called Zhu? β
Xie Mulin thought for a while: "Because King Yan and Princess Yan have followed the holy decree before, and their true identities have not been announced for the time being, so he has always been active in Beiping City under the name Xiao Rui. As for his name on the clan jade, I really don't know. But I remember that he already had a table name, which was called 'Chonglin'. His Royal Highness King Yan has always called him like this, and his expression should not change. If his father and mother feel that it is inappropriate to continue to call him Xiao Rui, then call him 'Chonglin'. β
Wen nodded, and sighed again: "Chonglin, this child can have today, that Aunt Li-no, it's Master Jingming, it's really a lot of merit." She is obviously not married, but she lives in the Xiao family as Chonglin's biological mother, and has always kept in mind the entrustment of the old master, taking care of Miss Xiao's orphans, loyal maids in the world, but that's it! She looked at Xie Mulin, "I remember you said earlier that when Chonglin first learned about his background, Master Jing Ming still wanted to kill himself?" Why?! β
Xie Mulin said: "It seems that the emperor is unhappy, right?" Although the main culprit who concealed Xiao Rui's life experience back then was General Xiao Mingde, General Xiao was the emperor's confidant and important minister, and he had the merit of supporting him, so the emperor was not angry with him, so he turned his anger on Master Jingming. Master Jing also didn't want to embarrass Xiao Rui, so she had the idea of committing suicide. Xiao Rui was very worried, although he was still very awkward in his heart, but he still went to beg King Yan in person, and King Yan went to plead with the queen mother and the emperor, and the emperor was relieved and let Master Jingming become a nun and mix up this matter. β
This approach is a bit scummy.
The Wen family kept his mouth shut and didn't make any comments on the emperor's way of acting, Xie Yinghui was a little uncontrollable after all: "Didn't the emperor get angry because Master Jing protected the only heir of King Yan and made the successor of King Yan's mansion?" "Straight to conspiracy theories.
Wen Shi hurriedly said: "Sister Hui, don't think nonsense! "The carriage is still outside. Although there are not many pedestrians on the street, it is troublesome to listen to them.
Xie Yinghui has listened to the Cao family's gossip about the royal family since she was a child, and she doesn't think there is anything about it. But now that she respects Wen very much, she obediently stops talking. She just asked her second sister Xie Mulin with some curiosity: "It's strange, since the second sister's fiancΓ© has become the only son of King Yan." Now that the queen mother is still in the palace, the emperor and King Yan also seem to have a deep brotherhood, if there is no special reason, they should not insist on succeeding the prince as the heir, right? Will Xiao Rui become the prince of King Yan? Wouldn't the second sister want to become the princess of King Yan? That Mrs. Xu and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family are menacing today, making people scratch their heads, and I don't know when they offended them. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's just for the throne of the princess of King Yan, right? β
Xie Mulin smiled and said, "What do they think in their hearts? Anyway, in the future, they won't be able to fight this kind of idea! β
