Chapter Twenty-Nine: Calculating
"I can see it, Concubine Yu is also a cool character, otherwise she wouldn't be able to raise it, an open-minded daughter like you." Wei Baofu is quite accurate in seeing people, if she didn't know that this mother and daughter could get along, she wouldn't take the initiative to approach.
Although there is no shortage of beautiful women in the palace, the two sisters are outstanding, although they are still a little immature, standing together, but they are also extremely eye-catching, at this time the palace concubines also came out, and when they saw the little sisters coming over, they were also very polite.
Concubine Yu's face was ruddy, with a smile on her face, she knew that she was in a good mood at a glance, and when she saw her daughter coming, she said with a smile: "I still think you are going to talk for a while, and you are ready to go back to the palace directly, and the county lord should not go to my palace to sit." ”
Wei Baofufu saluted and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, you also know that I just moved over, and there are still a lot of things in the house that have not been put in place, and when I clean them up, I will go to the door to disturb them." ”
Concubine Yu liked her down-and-out appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, follow me, don't be polite, I'm the most easy-going, you'll know later, then we'll go first." ”
Saying goodbye to Wei Baozhen, she looked at the back of the mother and daughter leaving together, and she didn't know how long she looked at it, and suddenly felt that the sun was a little dazzling, and her eyes were unconsciously full of tears, "If your mother is still there, your relationship must be better than theirs." ”
Concubine Shu's voice suddenly sounded behind her, she was wearing a pink palace dress today, her complexion was particularly moist and good-looking, looking at Wei Baofu's eyes full of worry, Wei Baofu was stunned, and tears crossed his face.
She brushed it away casually and said with some embarrassment: "Let the mother smile, this sunshine is a little dazzling." Wei Baofu didn't know how to face her for a while, originally, her aunt could have a good future, and she didn't have to get involved in these things.
"Auntie, is it worth it? Don't you want to be yourself? In the end, Wei Baofu didn't hold back, Wei Baofu still asked, but fortunately, no one around was watching, and she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
Concubine Shu smiled indifferently, "Although you are smart, you are still too young, you have experienced few things, many things, nothing is worth it, it depends on what you think, in my heart, there are people who care more, her wish is mine, what she can't do, I can only help her, everything is as it should be." ”
"You don't want to bewitch Baofu here, did the mourning family forget to warn you, stay away from my Baofu, she has nothing to do with you." The Queen Mother's voice came from behind the two of them, she wanted to come out for a walk, but who knew but saw Concubine Shu and Wei Baofu standing there talking.
This scene seemed to poke her lungs, where could she bear it, she couldn't wait to pounce on Concubine Shu and slap her, Wei Baofu hurriedly walked to her side and said softly: "Grandmother, don't be angry, I just happened to meet Concubine Shu and say hello." ”
Where can the Queen Mother listen to the explanation now, Concubine Shu also retracted her previous look, with a soft smile on her face, as if she was wearing a mask, and said softly: "The Queen Mother should not be in a hurry, the concubine is just here to pass on a message, the old lady of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion wants to see the county lord, and I hope the county lord can go to the mansion when he is free." ”
Originally, Concubine Shu didn't want to spread this, she naturally knew what her mother had in mind, but at this moment, she had to say, the Queen Mother laughed mockingly: "The old lady of the Hou Mansion is really big, the mourning family returned to the palace, she didn't know how to come to ask for peace, and dared to let the county lord of the mourning family go to see her, it's really a big face, you tell her, if you want to see someone, you hand over the sign and wait for the mourning family to summon her." ”
After speaking, he pulled Wei Baofu into the house without looking back, as if Concubine Shu was some kind of beast, Wei Baofu turned his head and smiled apologetically at Concubine Shu, she couldn't ignore her grandmother's mood, now is not the time to tell her the truth, if grandmother knows, the fourth prince may be his father's widow, but I am afraid that she may kill the emperor immediately.
Concubine Shu didn't mind the Queen Mother's treatment like this, she still smiled, turned around and left with a thousand demeanors, people always have a little sustenance, hate or resent, always need something to support it.
Not to mention how Wei Baofu wanted to comfort the Queen Mother, the masters of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, but because of some news from Wei Baofu, they were a little impetuous, although there were no courtiers present on the day of the family banquet, but the emperor did not block the news.
There are many people in the palace, the news leaks quickly, and some powerful people with roots also know the performance of the county lord of Kangping, in their hearts, the background of the county lord of Kangping should be the best to grasp.
Unexpectedly, she dared to confront the prince directly, and she could make him unable to come to the stage and retreat, which made the family who originally wanted to fight her idea also began to weigh it.
The old lady of the Yongyi Hou Mansion, although she loved to compete with her sister-in-law when she was young, she was not brainless.
Yongyi waited for the court, the old lady sent someone to call him to her yard, the old lady is a blessed one, there are two sons and two daughters under her knees, the eldest son is the lord, the second son is released, the eldest daughter is the princess, the second daughter is the concubine, in the eyes of outsiders, it is really beautiful, but the worry in her heart has never been less.
At this moment, the old lady fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand, glanced up at her eldest son, and said to Zhao Jingshen: "You have come all the way with the county lord, you should know a thing or two about her, she is as powerful as rumored." ”
Zhao Jingshen thought of Wei Baofu's various performances, and his heart was a little mixed, and he said cautiously: "Grandmother, you didn't ask much before, and I didn't say much, the county lord is not an ordinary girl, she is far from being comparable to ordinary girls in terms of temperament and intelligence." ”
The old lady's eyes lit up, and she said with some surprise: "Is it possible, the queen mother can really train a good girl, I underestimated her before?" ”
Yong Yihou couldn't cry or laugh, "Mother, we're talking about the county lord of Kangping, don't think about it, you are so old, you have to fight with your aunt, it's time to rest." The old lady was immediately displeased, "What are you talking about, no matter how old you are, who can't have a competitive spirit, I want to meet that girl." ”
"Grandmother, I'm afraid that the county lord doesn't want to have more dealings with us, she is very cold to me and my second brother, and she doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with it." Zhao Jingshen had no choice but to tell the truth, and the old lady said very indifferently: "Since she is so smart, she should know that our family has not interacted with her for the sake of her all these years, and it is also for her good. ”
Yong Yi Hou pondered: "That being said, the child should be annoyed, I was a little hesitant before, doubting whether she could be the head of our family, but now it seems that I am afraid that it is just suitable, I have a wrist and an identity, and I also have a silver body, and there is a concubine in the palace to take care of it, I don't think there is anything bad." ”
The old lady squinted at him, and said mockingly: "I'm afraid that your daughter-in-law is not happy, but she is still thinking about her own niece, besides, the county lord's side, I am afraid that the queen mother will not nod, and now the most important thing is how to repair the relationship between the two sides, although the child is unwilling to get close to us, but she is definitely going to come this time, after all, she is still unclear about many things." ”
Back then, the emperor had such a mind about his brother and daughter-in-law, their daughter was ashamed, and naturally preferred to die rather than obey, and the Yongyi Marquis Mansion did not have this mind, but how could they have the confidence to oppose it, just because they had no power to compete with it, they had to slowly figure it out, and Zhao Yunyan was even more frightened and depressed because of this incident, and their Zhao family also hated the emperor.
"Depth of Field, you are not young now, and you are the heir of our Hou Mansion, you have made a decision about your marriage." Although the old lady is sometimes a little overbearing, she is not a person who cares about the wishes of her children and grandchildren.
Zhao Jingshen cleared his throat uncomfortably, he is now slowly coming back to his senses, he is moved by the county lord, if he really marries her, he is also very willing, "Grandmother, my grandson doesn't have any ideas for the time being, I still listen to you and my father." ”
The old lady and Yong Yihou naturally hope that the lord of Kangping will marry into the door, Mrs. Hou's niece is a delicate and weak character who cries at every turn, and the old lady also looks down on her, she is more willing to marry her granddaughter in public and private.
"Then your mother's side, what kind of regulations do you have, although her maiden niece is a little difficult to get on the stage, but in the end it is also your cousin, if you are so clearly disgusted, then your mother is estimated to have a trouble, and then you will have to block the county lord, and you are afraid that this splint is indispensable."
Zhao Jingshen was a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Grandmother, the county lord is not a girl who is at the mercy of others, even if I have thoughts, it is my unilateral matter, besides, now she has a deep prejudice against our family, I am afraid that she will not want to deal with us for a while." ”
Yong Yihou sighed, although he was the head of the family, he was not unsophisticated, glanced at the old lady, and patiently persuaded: "If my mother is willing, it is better to go to the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, after all these years, our house is owed to her after all." ”
The old lady threw the Buddha beads in her hand and smashed them straight at Yong Yihou, hating iron and steel: "What do you owe?" If it weren't for the good son she raised, I would have died early? My Nuan'er uses a strong smile every day, and my hard-working granddaughter, all of this, it's not the old woman, obviously she owes me, why do you want me to bow to her? ”
When she first married into the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, the old lady also wanted to be good friends with this sister-in-law, but she was spoiled by her father and brother at home, and she didn't eat at all, she always let her be wronged, and it was just a matter of being wronged, thinking that she would marry sooner or later, and she would endure it.
But who would have thought that after she married the first emperor, she didn't have a smile for a few years, the first emperor cherished her, and the current emperor hugged her to raise, at first she had no children, and it was reasonable to say to the emperor, but in the end she had her own son, and often ignored the emperor, which made the emperor have a long grudge and caused trouble.
In the old lady's view, karma is a cycle of heavenly retribution, but all this should not be retribution on her daughter.
