Chapter 80: Choice
In order not to embarrass the two parties, Lan Xi proposed a compromise method. The Queen Mother has not yet arrived at the moment, and the banquet is not the beginning, so let Wen Xue'er leave early, and no one else will know except for everyone present. As long as the queen orders the seal, no one will say it. In this way, Xiao Zhiyan will not be in a dilemma. It can be regarded as giving the Wen family face and Wen Jiang face, and it will not make Mrs. Xu unable to come to the stage at the moment.
Lan Xi's idea can be described as excellent. It did not hurt the harmony of the Prime Minister and the royal family, but also made Wen Xueer's face. If someone spreads this matter in the future, the world will know about it, and they will not think that Xiao Zhiyan's handling method is not good.
Not only is it a concubine's dream, but it is not considered a broken rule, and letting the concubine go to the palace banquet will not chill the hearts of the old ministers and their relatives.
Xiao Zhiyan listened to it and also felt that it was very good, and it was a feasible method. But the final decision is still in the hands of the ladies at this banquet. If they don't, then no matter how good the method is, it can't be used.
"This palace looks, Miss Lan's idea is very good. What do you think? In this way, the wish of the girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be fulfilled, and Mrs. Xiang will not be in a dilemma. Even if the prime minister knows, he won't blame Mrs. Xiang. Miss Wen Er left at this moment, and the Queen Mother would not know that the Prime Minister Yue Ju brought a concubine to the palace banquet, so naturally she would not blame. With the best of both worlds, I'm afraid there is nothing better than this method. Although Xiao Zhiyan was in an inquiring tone, he also wanted to decide. After all, this matter will be difficult to handle if it drags on for a long time.
It's not that Xiao Zhiyan is difficult to do, but Mrs. Xu is difficult to do. The Queen Mother attaches the most importance to respect and humility, and if the Queen Mother knows that Mrs. Xu brought a concubine to the palace for a banquet, she will definitely be furious. At that time, this matter was not so simple to end. It may even affect the reputation of the entire prime minister's house.
Therefore, Xiao Zhiyan thought about it for a moment and planned to make a decision. For the sake of such a thing as offending the royal family for a concubine, Xiao Zhiyan is sure that Mrs. Xu will not do it. She could even feel that Mrs. Xu also wanted to send Wen Xue'er away quickly at this moment. This method couldn't be better.
Mrs. Xu and Xiao Zhiyan haven't decided yet, and Wen Xue'er over there is anxious when she hears these words. Wen Xue'er entered the palace, not to really want to see the style of the mother of the country, nor to see what the banquet in the palace was like. She has only one purpose, and that is to replace Wen Yunxuan.
If you want to replace Wen Yunxuan, you must be affirmed by the superiors. But now, Wen Xue'er was about to be driven away before she even saw the Queen Mother's face, how could Wen Xue'er be happy?
It's just that there seems to be no room for Wen Xue'er to speak in this matter. It was all Xiao Zhiyan and Mrs. Xu discussing.
"Since the mother thinks it is good, the concubine should obey herself. Niangniang thinks about the concubine everywhere, and the concubine is grateful. It's just that the mother doesn't know that the concubine in the family has always been an idea and favored by the father. The rest of the family, I'm afraid they can't be the master of our second young lady. Let's ask Xue'er what she thinks, lest we think it's kind and people don't appreciate it. If you tell the concubine behind your back, the concubine will ······ Niangniang also knows that it is difficult to be a mother-in-law. Especially when it is the mother-in-law of these favored concubines, it is even more difficult. It's okay to be an obedient person, but if it's a disobedient, disobedient, disobedient and unfilial thing, this ······" Of course, Mrs. Xu was willing to let Xiao Zhiyan come forward and send someone to send Wen Xue'er back, but before sending her back, Mrs. Xu tried her best to discredit Wen Xue'er.
The purpose is naturally to ruin Wen Xue'er, so that she will never have room to fight with Wen Yunxuan anymore.
Actually, it's not that Mrs. Xu smeared Wen Xue'er. Wen Xue'er is at home on weekdays, and this is almost the case. Mrs. Xu just avoided the trivial and exaggerated slightly.
Mrs. Xu didn't finish her words, but none of the people present were like human spirits. I also heard a rough idea, although everyone knew that Mrs. Xu was exaggerating, but no one would stand up for Wen Xue'er. After all, a concubine wants to climb on the head of her concubine and replace her. This matter, no matter which wife is in the family, will never allow such a thing to happen.
Wen Xue'er came to the palace banquet today, which was not a smart move. On such an occasion, Wen Xue'er's identity seems out of place, and no one will speak for Wen Xue'er. Even Mrs. Yun, who is a sworn enemy with Mrs. Xu, is just watching the show coldly now, and she has no intention of helping Wen Xue'er at all.
"Since it is the child of the prime minister, it is also the child of Mrs. Xiang. No matter what you are, you want to call your mother. As a mother, she can naturally make decisions about her children's affairs. Could it be that what child can be disobedient and unfilial to his mother? Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan's face changed, but he didn't expect Mrs. Xu to be so intolerant of this concubine.
In the past, such things were spread in private. Even if the concubine is really excessive, the grandmother will not say anything on the surface. Someone asked, and the grandmother also looked like she was aggrieved and praised. But even so, others know what it means.
There has never been anyone like Mrs. Xu. In front of the public, he told his suffering to the superiors, saying that the concubines and concubines in the family were disrespectful.
Mrs. Xu's move is to completely destroy Wen Xue'er!
"Yes, what Niangniang said is that the concubine is stupid. However, the concubine thinks it's better for us to ask Xue'er for her opinion. In case Xue'er didn't think like this in her heart, it was the concubine's own assertion to be a mother-in-law. Mrs. Xu treated Xiao Zhiyan very respectfully, but she still asked Xiao Zhiyan to ask Wen Xue'er what she meant, and Wen Xue'er disagreed.
"That's it, in that case, Miss Wen Er chooses for herself! Mrs. Xiang said that she can't be your master, then you can choose for yourself, after all, she is not your biological mother, no matter how good she is, some people will gossip. Now the choice is yours, you can do it yourself! Do you want the palace to send someone to send you back at this moment, or do you want to stay here all the time, waiting for the banquet to let the queen mother see what you look like. So that the entire prime minister's house will be convicted and reprimanded by the queen mother together with you. Which is more important, I think Miss Wen Er also has a sense of proportion in her heart. This matter, this palace doesn't want to do too much, and it's not good to spread it. After all, it is the daughter's family, and reputation is the most important thing. Xiao Zhiyan looked at Mrs. Xu and Wen Xue'er at the bottom irritably, and felt for the first time that such a thing could be so difficult to handle.
