Chapter 22: Princess Cheng
Although Ying Shu does not have deep contact with her father, she understands that once she is involved in anything that may damage the future and reputation of officialdom, then it is useless to explain and admit mistakes. The Aunt Wang of the Narcissus Pavilion is an example.
If she hadn't been pregnant and successfully gave birth, I am afraid that she would still be disliked by Wang Ying now.
She sighed silently in her heart, but she could only listen to Wang Ying's reprimand and admit her mistakes.
It's just that she was a little unconvinced in her heart after all, and couldn't help arguing a few words: "Although my father thinks I'm wrong, but my father doesn't want to think about it, if I follow that Qi is always talking, then I'm afraid that it will be spread by someone with a heart in the future, which will be good for our family's reputation?" And my father didn't want to think about it, Sister Ruotong was also there at the beginning, and Sister Ruotong will be the princess in the future, so don't you leave the princess alone? The daughter didn't want to be contaminated with right and wrong, so she was so kind to remind Qi Chang to be there. It's just that now this matter has been turned out again, but I'm afraid that my father doesn't know what he said in Dongzhimen. ”
Wang Ying couldn't hold it on her face, so she naturally had a dark face, pointed at Ying Shu and said: "Now I don't know how to be loved by your mother-in-law!" That's a matter from above, I have long taught you to be patient in everything, and the limelight elsewhere, the affairs of the masters above, what are you not blindly mixed with? Why can't you stay in your carriage honestly? ”
Ying Shu actually knew that it was useless to say anything in such a situation, but although she came to ancient times, she was weak and pretended to be small, but she also had a bit of a shaft in her bones, so she was naturally angry, so she couldn't help but say these words of argument to Wang Ying, which made Wang Ying furious, and scolded repeatedly: "Why did I give birth to such a daughter as you?" You kneel and reflect on what your daughter's family should do and what your daughter's family should say! ”
When the news of Haoyuetang came, Mrs. Wang was also furious, but Mrs. Zhang comforted: "The old lady should hurry up and take a look, like this, won't the third girl break her knees?" ”
Who knew that the old lady Wang said with a dark face: "Who cares about her?" I had told her a long time ago that everything should be leisurely, and don't rush to the front for everything, but now it's good, but she was scolded by her father. Let her kneel for a long time. ”
Mrs. Wang looked at Mr. Zhang on the side, and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and prepare some herbal soup? ”
Zhang Lao Lao said angrily: "I still said that I don't want to care, isn't this in a hurry to care about the third girl?" I'm afraid that the third girl has something. ”
Old Lady Wang sighed and said, "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just that since Qi Youzhen will put such a trivial matter in front of him, he can't be regarded as a good person to get along with." The old man entered the cabinet in the middle of the court, and the ranking is not as good as Qi Youzhen, if he doesn't express his position, who knows what turmoil will be in the future. This punishment is kneeling, and it can be regarded as an explanation, and there is no need for the Qi family to be unforgiving in the future. ”
Zhang Lao nodded: "After all, you still care about the third girl, don't you?" ”
"The life of the girl is too bitter. It's just that this time it's really Shu Ya's own fault, and now that she is contaminated with the princess and Chang in the Prince's East Palace, what will be the turmoil in the future, it's really ...... I want to be the Empress Dowager Zhaohui...... Alas...... I don't want all the girls in our family to marry into the royal family, and I think about how to stay away from the royal family. But it's a ...... or two."
Mr. Zhang was silent, naturally knowing that this was a piece of Mrs. Wang's heart, and the people who had been deeply exposed to the whirlpool of power back then naturally had lingering palpitations about power now, and they became more and more frightened.
Fortunately, Wang Ying was really reluctant to punish Yingshu after all, and only knelt for a moment before ordering Yingshu to go behind closed doors and think about it, and Yingshu was taken care of by Mrs. Wang and Yinghuan for medicine and massage.
Ying Shu frowned and said, "It hurts me to death, it's better for my grandmother and big sister." ”
Old Mrs. Wang had a gloomy face, but she was already distressed in her heart: "You naturally deserve it, who told you to argue with your father like this?" ”
Ying Huan was protecting Ying Shu: "Grandmother, I also heard about the situation that day. Is it difficult for Ying Shu to prevent the ready-made princess from protecting her, but is she going to protect a squire who is unknown in the selection? Who would have known that a squire would have to surpass his father in the cabinet ranks? ”
Mrs. Wang couldn't cry or laugh, but she had a serious face: "Come on, it can be seen that I can't mean the two of you." You, the eldest sister, might as well think about yourself first. Waiting for the auspicious day of the crown princess to be announced, I am afraid that the paper that canonized you as the princess will also come down. This is no match for the prince in the palace, and the concubines in the palace are not easy to mess with. The rules that you have been asked to learn these days, have you learned them all? ”
Ying Huan lowered her head, and the expression on her face was very complicated.
Ying Shu was shocked: "Why is the big sister going to get married so soon?" Can't you stay longer? ”
Mrs. Wang said in disgust: "What are you talking about? Tell me, why do you stay longer? Isn't this something given by the palace? These days, you can stay away from your big sister, but you have to ask your big sister to learn more. ”
Ying Shu lowered her head and pouted: "But if the eldest sister becomes a princess, even if she is not married, she will not be able to see each other in her own family." It's like Ruotong's sister, isn't it difficult to get close in the future? ”
A few people who said something couldn't help but have a sour nose, but after all, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but let go and said: "That's it, while you can get close, let's get closer." The girl of our family, how can I give it. ”
In the evening, Ying Shu couldn't sleep because of knee pain, so she struggled to get up and wanted to eat something, she didn't want to make people uneasy, so she got off the ground and quietly prepared to slowly walk to the small kitchen to make some milk tea by herself.
Thinking that it would not be easy for Wang Ruotong to meet each other when she entered the East Palace in the future, and it was not easy to drink milk tea, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
It's just that she walked lightly, and when she passed the door of her eldest sister Ying Huan's room, she saw that the candle had already been extinguished, but there was a subtle voice.
"Zhu Gongzi said, this matter is sooner or later, and His Majesty's will is no wonder to the girl. Please also cherish the girl, and don't worry about it in the future. If the girl arrives at the palace and needs Zhu Gongzi one day, Zhu Gongzi will definitely do her best to help. ”
Although the voice was extremely subtle, Ying Shu could still hear Ying Huan's faint crying voice: "What can I do?" It's all fate, if I knew it was like this, I shouldn't have ......"
It was the voice of Ying Huan's maid Xia Qu: "Girl, now you have to listen to the slave's advice." It's impossible, you just forgot to wish Gongzi, and His Royal Highness is also a good thing. When we get married, we still have a good life. As for Zhu Gongzi, if there is a fate, why force it? ”
Ying Huan sighed: "I know, if I don't let it go, I'm afraid that my Wang family will be finished." ”
Ying Shu stayed outside, but she was terrified when she heard it, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and now she didn't want to drink any milk tea, so she hurriedly returned to her house.
She stumbled back, but her heart was palpitating, and she even felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
From an outsider's point of view, the Wang family is full of glory and wealth, and the marriages of several female brothers are all rich and noble, but now it seems that they know what is going on.
Even Ying Huan, the noble eldest daughter, is like this, so where should he, who is not a concubine, go.
She began to think more and more desperately about the history of this period in her mind, almost giving herself a headache.
But with such a panic, only by exploring the history of the year can we find a place of peace of mind.
Combing through history, the first emperor Suzong was Li Chun, and the current emperor is the third son of the first emperor, and he was born to Zhang Qingyi, the concubine of Chunxi who shook the dynasty; And what she remembered was that although the current crown prince was the "good man" Dezong, it seemed that there was some kind of emperor between the two fathers and sons.
Think again, think again. Yingshu tried hard to force herself to think about this history again, and she had to remember it clearly.
Counting the current kings, she finally remembered that the king who would succeed to the throne in the future was King Cheng, not any emperor in Beijing today.
She shook her head, eager to pound her head to think of this, but when the confused memory gradually became clearer, she became more and more frightened.
Clearly remember, what is the princess of King Cheng...... Wang's.
Wang's.
It's like being hit on the ground by a heavy stone, begging for a hammer, and never getting up again.
In addition to the Wang family of his own family, what else is the Wang family.
Naturally, this queen should be restless, and the future dynasty will be chaotic, with external and internal troubles, and the throne is clearly in turmoil. How can you sit in peace, and how can you ensure that your family is safe and prosperous.
As for what it was, Ying Shu didn't know it anymore.
She has always had a bad memory, and she doesn't know much about history, and when she really got to ancient times, she was really a little confused.
With such thoughts, Ying Shu couldn't sleep all night, and when she got up with puffy eyelids the next day, when she opened her eyes and saw Ying Huan, she hugged Ying Huan and cried.
Ying Huan said that Ying Shu was reluctant to herself, so she comforted Ying Shu for a long time.
And the day when the day when the princess was issued on paper that everyone was looking forward to came, the Wang Mansion really waited for the holy decree in the palace: "Change the title of Li Ming, the king of Hejun, to the throne of Prince Cheng, and give the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Wang family as the step-concubine, and marry on September 20." ”
The Wang family all felt that they were proud of their eyebrows, and happily offered the holy decree on the incense shore to worship and worship, and soon there were maids in the palace here, separating the main hall of the Wang family, and it was a place for the princess to live before leaving the pavilion.
The father and daughter are happy in the end, and there will be no eldest daughter in the Wang family in the future, only Princess Cheng.
And when the Wang family was immersed in joy, it caused a panic in the capital, and the epidemic broke out.
When the time comes, the joy dissipates and there is only sorrow and panic.
