169 Real Causes
In the blink of an eye, it was half a month, Wang Jingshu had already passed Qianzhou, and the carriage was rushing all the way to the north.
"Master, this day and night non-stop rush, the servant is afraid that your body will not be able to stand it, so it is too tiring. It is better to rest for two days, and now through Qianzhou, it is Qingcheng, which belongs to the fiefdom of King Yu. ”
Qingcheng, the fief of King Yu Zhu Zhenming. The younger brother of the current emperor, because he was not valued by the first emperor, and he was inactive, so the first emperor hastily found Qingcheng and asked him to be the king. Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he seemed to deliberately forget this brotherly and not grant him any new city. And this King Yu was happy and comfortable, only entered the palace once during the New Year's Festival, and returned to the fiefdom on the first day of the New Year.
Wang Jingshu had only met hastily once at the palace banquet.
"This Qingcheng is very small, I'm afraid that King Yu will know that we are here, and he can't publicize it, let Lu Qing go to find a restaurant, let's have a meal, take a break and leave." Originally, she said that she would not stay in the princely fiefdom, but everyone was tired at this time, and she thought about it again and again and finally shouted to stop, "Rest in Qingcheng for half a day, and leave again in the evening." ”
Lin Youxiao answered and got out of the carriage.
In the past few days, Wang Jingshu sat in a sore carriage all the way, unable to lift her energy, and felt as uncomfortable as if she was paralyzed. She should have had a good rest, but she couldn't.
Wang Fu asked the family to send the message quickly, looking for her all the way, and she did not receive the letter until early this morning. The family told her to write a letter quickly, and immediately take it back to Wang's mansion for the old man to read.
From Wang Jingshu's reading of the letter to the time it was about to be noon, almost two hours had passed. The letters were still there. She didn't pick it up and didn't know how to reply to it.
As for what is written in the letter...... Wang Jingshu didn't want to think about it. It's nothing more than those meanings, the emperor has taken the eldest grandson under his knees to raise him, in order to prove to the world that there are successors in the East Palace, so the Wang Mansion ministers persuaded King Ning not to be the end of the crossbow, and the one who knows the times is Junjie, so that she can go to Pingzhou to maneuver more.
She really didn't know how to reply.
I really don't know...... Why was her father so persistent? Loyalty is a good thing, but it should not come at the cost of the lives of family members. If she really persuaded King Ning or was discovered by King Ning, I don't know if she would have her life and live to ascend the throne in the East Palace.
As for how to reply...... She also had a hard time. She wanted to do it for herself once, and she didn't want to obey Wang Fu again. Not why is it glorious and rich, not for the mother's honor of the world, but for her wishes. I don't know when her wish came true: his wish can come true, and one day he will be able to climb the imperial city tower and overlook the whole world.
But this letter ......
Eventually, it was difficult.
The eldest brother knew that day that her heart was biased towards the prince, and she chose the prince, why did she write such a letter to bother him. The words in this letter, which she recognized, must be her brother's handwriting.
The first time I did this kind of thing, I was obviously the eyeliner of others, but now I have become a traitor.
No wonder, since ancient times, the relationship has been the saddest.
But Wang Jingshu thought about it, how could he know this love word...... I felt a little gloomy in my heart, and finally took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared next to me, and wrote a word respectfully on the white paper, reading.
The less you write, the more ambiguous it becomes.
After Fang wrote, Lin Youxiao entered the carriage, "Master, the Lu guards went to look for it." ”
"Okay." Wang Jingshu quickly folded the letter. Hand it to her, "You go and help me give it to that Wang Fu family." ”
She pronounced the word Wang Fu out of her mouth, since when did 'home' become 'Wang family' and then 'Wang Fu', becoming more and more alienated.
Lin Youxiao heard something, but he didn't persuade him, "Don't you see it?" Don't ask about the situation of everyone in Wangfu? ”
Wang Jingshu waved her hand, "No need, no news is the best news." In only two months, Ling Yi should marry and go to the Qin family in the future. ”
"Everything I wanted to tell my brother before has been instructed, and now I don't have anything to say."
In the entire Wang Mansion, only her cousin Ling Yi was still a little worried about Wang Jingshu. His brothers and sisters didn't want to ask a couple of questions, and occasionally Wang Jingshu sighed that she didn't know whether they had failed as a person or failed as a person......
Since marrying into the palace, her heart has become farther and farther away from her mother's Wang Mansion, not because of different choices, nor because of feelings, she knows in her heart that feelings are only a small part, and the prince doesn't like her, so it's not interesting for her to be wishful thinking. The real reason is that she doesn't want to be controlled by others, she doesn't want to be a pawn, she doesn't want to be a human eyeliner and is doomed to lose in the end. She has to be herself, to be the real Wang Jingshu.
Her fate can only be in her own hands, and if it is in the hands of others, it can only be a losing word. And she doesn't want to lose, at least she won't throw in the towel like other women.
Thinking of Princess Yi's words in the past few days, speaking of which, Wang Jingshu has not tasted the taste of waiting from dark to dawn. But she knew that no matter how dark the night was, she would definitely be able to get through it and usher in the light. All the light in this world is ushered in by human efforts and perseverance.
That being the case, Lin Youxiao didn't want to persuade him, "Then I'll ask the Wang family to reply after receiving the letter." ”
Wang Jingshu responded, seeing that Lin Youxiao received the letter and got out of the carriage, she immediately lifted the curtain, looked at the road she came from in confusion, unconsciously clenched the jade pendant in her hand, and muttered softly, "From the time I was born to the time I married into the royal family, I never made my own decisions." But this time, after going to Pingzhou, I want to be the master for myself. Father, this time, I have made a choice. I don't listen to you, each is his master, and I hope that when our father and daughter meet again, the Wang Mansion will be the same as before. ”
In the past, her life was given by Wangfu, but now her life is her own and does not belong to anyone.
Wang Jingshu's heart is like a new life, and she has made a decision that she will never regret in her life. No matter the future, no matter tomorrow, she will definitely work hard to go on.
Until noon, Lu Qing found a good restaurant, and the carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant to facilitate getting off the carriage. The ladies wore hats and went inside, and were instead taken up by Xiao Er to the quiet box on the third floor.
Lin Youxiao said to everyone for Wang Jingshu, "You are tired all the way, let Xiao Er serve the best dishes here, eat and drink enough, rest well in the afternoon, and set off in the evening." ”
The guards only knew how to listen to their masters, and they had no opinions, and soon they all went to the second floor for dinner. But Rong Ruofen in the box was unhappy and undoubtedly showed on her face, she had been in the dust all the way at a young age, and she had already regretted that she was not at the beginning, what Pingzhou was going to, it was better to live a comfortable life in Rongfu. It was easy to rest in Qingcheng, I thought I could rest for two days, but it turned out to be one afternoon. This will be full of complaints, "Master Princess, really only rest here for half a day?" I'll be on my way overnight. ”
Wang Jingshu said truthfully, "Qingcheng is too small, it is the fief of the prince, leave as soon as possible, so as not to trouble the Yu Palace." ”
Rong Ruofen couldn't figure it out, they were all princes and princes, so why not bother with it? Why do you always pass by the palace and do not enter, and even when you reach a princely fiefdom, you have to hurry up...... "What does this have to do with this?" They are all royal families, they are all royal relatives, why not walk around normally? Why do you pass by the palace every time you don't enter? You should pay a visit. ”
"What does the Yuwang Mansion here have to do with you?"
There are some things that Wang Jingshu can't explain, this royal family can't walk back and forth like the people for no reason, if they are denounced by someone with a heart, but the disaster of forming a party for personal gain, the whole palace will be unlucky. Moreover, it was not good for her to visit the prince so abruptly, and the prince was not there.
She only said one sentence, "Qingcheng is the fief of Prince Yu." King Yu is the uncle of the prince. ”
"Then you're not going to visit Prince Yu?"
Wang Jingshu shook her head, "When you go out, don't talk about these rights and wrongs, lest the wall have ears to target us." ”
Rong Ruofen finally lowered her head.
But they never imagined that King Yu's Mansion would know after all, because of the advice of the soldiers at the city gate.
Keishong was so small that few outsiders stopped here, so even the soldiers at the gate of the city could tell that it was a foreigner, and it seemed to be from Kyoto. Coming from Kyoto is not a big deal, but the materials used in the carriage are excellent, like those in the palace of King Yu, which can only be used by the royal family. This matter was quickly reported to King Yu's mansion.
Originally, King Yu didn't care, but he was reminded by his princess, "The concubine heard that King Ning went to the fiefdom with his wife and concubine, maybe he was passing by our Qingcheng." The prince might as well write a post to explore the truth. If it is true, I invited him to come in and live for two days, King Ning is the queen's parent, and it is not a bad thing for us to be polite. If it weren't King Ning, it might be someone else. Being polite to them doesn't do any harm to our Yu Palace. ”
Having said that, Zhu Zhenming still has some concerns, "Princes can't form parties for personal gain." Although he did nothing, he remembered the rules and ceremonies and patriarchal laws one by one. Forming a party for personal gain is a taboo for the emperor.
But Princess Yu He didn't think so, and had her own humble opinion, "Now the Yu Palace's mansion has become extinct." You have promised to establish an heir several times, but the emperor has not issued an edict for a long time, so he knows that he wants us to be the heir, and it is absolutely impossible to establish an heir for you. In this way, when we die, Qingcheng will return to the imperial court. But it doesn't matter if we die, you should think about our only daughter, what if she is the noble county lord, there is no father and no brother to rely on, how should you survive your life in your in-law's family after you call Jiaqing? If we have a little friendship with other princes, maybe in the future, people will help Jiaqing in this affection, so that she will not be isolated in her mother-in-law's house. ”
Zhu Zhenming is a little good, there is only one princess in the house, and there are no other concubines, but because of this, she has only one daughter, and she has not been married for a long time. He gradually got older, and he had no son to inherit the title, so he thought about succeeding his own brother King De's concubine to inherit his throne, and went to the court many times, but the emperor did not have an answer for a long time, seeing that the days were passing day by day, and his own health was not very good, and he would die one day. King Yu's title, Qingcheng fiefdom, he doesn't care, the only thing he cares about is him and the only daughter of the princess, the lord of Jiaqing, Zhu Yu.
After thinking about it, he felt that what the princess said was not unreasonable, and finally wrote a post in person and ordered the palace housekeeper to find it.
And Wang Jingshu received the post from Yu Wangfu when it was just three o'clock, and she was particularly surprised, how could the palace know?
They...... Crooked?
