Chapter 222
"Brother is coming back? The mother is relieved that her daughter will definitely catch up with her brother. Brother, I've been in Lingzhou for more than a year, so it's time to come back, right? Why didn't my mother tell my father that it would be better for my brother to come back as soon as possible? When the time comes, my brother will be at home, and my father will not treat us too much for my brother's sake. Besides, it is better to be an official outside than to be an official in Youjing, and your majesty will watch every move at the foot of the imperial city, if your brother does a good job, you naturally don't have to rely on your father's support, and your majesty will give your brother an official by himself. When the time comes, the three of us won't have to look at Daddy's face anymore. As long as my brother is talented, he will definitely be appreciated by His Majesty, and at that time, my mother won't have to worry about the Snow Academy stealing our place, right? "Wen Yunxuan has had the best relationship with Wen Guqian since she was a child, and when Mrs. Xu just gave birth to Wen Yunxuan, she had not yet come out of the blow of Wen Jiang's concubine.
Those aunts and concubines in the backyard, Mrs. Xu also cares about them, and whenever she is angry with them, she doesn't have the time to care about Wen Yunxuan at all. When Wen Yunxuan was young, she always followed Wen Guqian, and Wen Guqian took Wen Yunxuan wherever she went. Even though she grew up, Wen Yunxuan still had this habit, and before Wen Guqian went to Lingzhou, she often followed Wen Guqian out.
Later, Wen Guqian was assigned by Wen Jiang to Lingzhou, and Wen Yunxuan reduced the number of times she went out and nested quietly in her own yard. I haven't seen Wen Guqian for more than a year, and Wen Yunxuan naturally misses it very much. Wen Yunxuan also didn't want her brother to be outside for so long, Lingzhou was too far away from Youjing, and the journey was difficult, and if something happened, the Wen family wouldn't have time to protect Wen Guqian.
In short, the risks outside are much higher than those in Youjing. Wen Yunxuan was also really worried about Wen Guqian's safety, so she wanted Mrs. Xu to think of letting Wen Guqian stay in Youjing.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a long time coming. I mentioned to your father a few days ago that your father meant that it would take at least three years to be released, which is the rule. It's not good, because your brother is the prime minister's son-in-law, so this rule is broken. Later, I went to ask your grandfather again, and this is also the statement. I am afraid that your brother will come back early and be known by His Majesty, and he will not be favored by the Holy Grace, but will cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied, and the gains will outweigh the losses. In this case, let your brother bear with it a little longer, and when the time comes, if your father still doesn't let go, then your grandfather will personally mention it to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty order your brother to come back. "Mrs. Xu doesn't miss her son.
First, Wen Guqian is the first child of Mrs. Xu and Wen Jiang. At that time, Wen Jiang was meticulous to Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu was also hands-on with Wen Guqian, and Wen Guqian was also a child that Mrs. Xu poured a lot of hope into. Second, Wen Jiang always felt a little guilty about this eldest son-in-law, so as long as Wen Guqian was at home, Wen Jiang would more or less come to Ningxiang Pavilion to sit down, and those aunts and concubines in the backyard were also very respectful to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu and Wen Yunxuan's life is more like a wife and concubine than now.
Therefore, Mrs. Xu asked about Wen Guqian's return early. It's just a result, but it's not satisfying.
"Okay, more than a year has passed, is there another year? After the elder brother returns, the daughter should also have a firm foothold in the palace of the king, and when the time comes, it is also appropriate to let the king go to His Majesty to say good things. Let's not look at Daddy's face and beg Daddy to go to His Majesty to find an official position for my brother. "Wen Jiang is really good to Wen Guqian, but Wen Jiang also likes to see Mrs. Xu begging him. Every time he wanted to do something for Wen Guqian, Wen Jiang would let Mrs. Xu know first, and then let Mrs. Xu beg him before he would do it.
It's been like this for so many years. Wen Yunxuan has had enough of this life, but Wen Jiang is in charge of their affairs, and they can't do it without Wen Jiang. Now that she finally has the opportunity to cross the Wen River, Wen Yunxuan is really desperate!
"Yes, it's a good thing when you think about it." Mrs. Xu nodded, and she agreed with what Wen Yunxuan said.
Wen Yunxuan saluted Mrs. Xu, and then withdrew and went back to her own room.
When Mrs. Xu saw that Wen Yunxuan was gone, the sleepiness swept over again, and she cleaned up and lay down to take a nap. Who knows, as soon as Mrs. Xu closed her eyes, someone called her outside again.
"Madame, ma'am!" It was the voice of the big girl Xiangtan beside Mrs. Xu, and her voice was slightly urgent. Mrs. Xu was originally dissatisfied, and now she was even more unhappy when she was disturbed to rest. I just listened to Xiangtan's voice and was a little anxious, and I also thought that Xiangtan knew that she was resting, and she wouldn't bother if it wasn't an urgent matter. Helplessly, Mrs. Xu sat up again.
"Come in!" Mrs. Xu fought hard and waited for Xiangtan to come in and say something.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiangtan walk in front of her and stop, Mrs. Xu asked what could make Xiangtan so anxious.
"The slave maid heard that the Queen Mother had returned, and now the carriage and horse have arrived outside the Youjing City. I heard that the Queen Mother came back quietly, and she didn't make a big deal about it or order someone to pick it up. However, the slave maid also heard a news that the queen was going to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the queen mother's return. I think I will invite the ladies and ladies of each house to go together. Madame, do you want Miss to prepare in advance? Xiangtan heard the news from elsewhere, so she hurried back to tell Mrs. Xu.
I want Mrs. Xu to talk to Wen Yunxuan, so that Wen Yunxuan can prepare in advance. So as not to be in a hurry when you get to, it will not be good if you break the rules in the palace.
"The Queen Mother is back? Also, His Majesty did not follow the Queen Mother's wishes, but took the lead in issuing a holy decree to the King and the girl of our family, and the Queen Mother was anxious to come back. The queen's banquet is just to tell the world that the queen mother has returned from Hanshan Temple to pray for the blessing of the country, and there should be no other purpose. It's just that since everyone else knows this news, why hasn't the inner servant sent an edict to the various governments? It's noon now, and I don't know when tomorrow's banquet will be, if I get up early and enter the palace, then the hour will be a little rushed. If you enter the palace after noon, it will be a dinner party, and the time is not urgent. It's just that this ordinary banquet has not yet been set up for the evening. But this queen ······ Why don't you let people preach the message? When Mrs. Xu heard Xiangtan say this, the dissatisfied look on her face disappeared, and she began to show a puzzled look.
Since it is a banquet, the Wen family must be indispensable. But the queen has not let anyone come over until now······
