Immediate Aftermath (3)
The matter of the establishment is still fermenting in the court, the Chu family is still silent, and Zhen Guogong also smells a trace of something wrong from it, but the arrow has to be sent.
Since Xia Xin was killed, Xia Xiang has a straight face no matter who he sees, and he is even more cold than before.
Originally, Zhen Guogong wanted to ask him for advice, but now it is inconvenient to come to the door to ask him like this.
As for how hard Xia Dun is still working to avenge his daughter, these are not what Zhen Guogong cares about.
Emperor Cheng Ji is unwilling to establish the queen again, so even if he does more, it is in vain.
Lord Chu has been watching coldly, just to see how this farce will end for Zhen Guogong.
Originally, when King Xie Jun of Qi returned triumphantly from the southwest, the Duke of Zhenguo and the others were already preparing to ask for the queen in the court, but because of the uproar between Xie Jun and Xu Zhao, they had to be shelved until now.
And the current situation is obviously not good for the Yan family.
Although Emperor Cheng Ji did not clearly state his attitude towards the establishment of the queen in the court, when he summoned Xie Jun, he had already vaguely told him that he would not establish the queen again. Emperor Cheng Ji told Xie Jun that his original intention was to ask Xie Jun to dissuade Zhen Guogong, but this didn't seem to have any effect; It was not the prince's turn to intervene in the matter, and from the moment the prince of Zhenguo began to speak, this matter was already out of his control.
This is a bureau, but unfortunately it was Zhen Guogong who took the initiative to enter the game.
Princess Guanghua was pregnant and went to the palace to visit Mrs. Yan; Mrs. Yan has been a little sullen recently, and she didn't smile until she saw her daughter's slightly bulging lower abdomen.
"Mother, you're going to be a grandmother." Princess Guanghua said with a chuckle.
"It's all so fast." Mrs. Yan tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled.
The relationship between Princess Guanghua and Mrs. Yan has not been close, one is because Mrs. Yan cares more about her only son Xie Jun, and the other is that Princess Guanghua feels that when she was young, Mrs. Yan pushed herself to her grandmother for the sake of her brother, and she was estranged.
It was only because Princess Guanghua was also a parent that she felt that it was not easy for her mother, and she became a little closer to Mrs. Yan.
But every time she entered the palace, she would hear Mrs. Yan mention Xie Jun, which made Princess Guanghua a little unhappy.
In fact, although Mrs. Yan is partial to Xie Jun, she also really loves this daughter.
King Xie Jun of Qi and Princess Guanghua are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and when Mrs. Yan gave birth to their brother and sister, they were injured and could not get pregnant again. And when their brother and sister were born, it was a chaotic situation in the world, and the Yan family was sent back to the Yan family to avoid trouble, and the young brother and sister stayed behind Mrs. Xie to take care of them; When the world decided that the Yan family came back from the Yan family, Mrs. Xie sent the child back to the Yan family, but unfortunately Xiao Zexi at that time cried day and night after returning to his biological mother, because there was no way for Mrs. Xie to continue to take Xiao Zexi back to her side.
Although she is her own daughter, she was not brought up by herself, and in Mrs. Yan's opinion, it is naturally different from Xie Jun, who was raised by herself since she was a child.
Looking at Princess Guanghua's slightly bulging lower abdomen, Mrs. Yan suddenly remembered that Xie Jun and Ji Ruoli were also married, and if Ji Ruoli could conceive an heir as soon as possible, then she would be at ease.
Mrs. Yan carefully admonished again, and heard Princess Guanghua say with some complaints: "The former father's father asked the horse to return to the army again, and I don't know if his father can come back when the child is born." ”
"It's a good thing that men are ambitious and make contributions in all directions." Mrs. Yan only said.
"Even so, I always feel a little uneasy." Princess Guanghua whispered.
Mrs. Yan couldn't help but sigh: "When I remembered that when I was pregnant with your brothers and sisters, I was also worried all day and night. At that time, it was still the situation of the previous dynasty, His Majesty was still the prince of Ningyuan, and the main mother was the eldest princess; Although I am the niece of the old lady, I am just a concubine who cannot be put on the stage. At that time, I was pregnant with a child, and the eldest princess looked at me virtuous and gentle, but I was terrified every night, for fear that I would not even be able to save my life; Later, the Fu thief rebelled, the old marquis was killed in Beijing, the prince entered the king of Beijing, and the wind in Ningjiang was loud, I was really afraid. ”
In fact, Princess Guanghua had heard stories from more than 20 years ago when she was young, but now that she is getting older, she feels more and more that some things are very strange.
However, she didn't dare to ask her mother, for fear that her mother would be angry.
So after thinking about it, Princess Guanghua decided to turn the page and asked: "Mother, my daughter recently heard that the court reconsidered the matter of the queen, but my uncle's performance was rejected. ”
"I didn't have much hope; If Your Majesty really has the heart to stand up, it should be mentioned after the first queen's mourning, why wait until now. Mrs. Yan took a sip of tea, still feeling very bitter in her mouth.
"The daughter couldn't see it before, and the father and the queen were still so affectionate to the queen mother." After Princess Guanghua said this, she felt that this sentence didn't seem quite right; Since she remembered, the emperor was indifferent to Xuanhou, and whether she was affectionate or not, let alone the word long-term affection.
Princess Guanghua vaguely remembered some things when she was young, but she couldn't remember them very clearly, it was like a dream.
Maybe it was a dream!
Mrs. Yan just sneered and narrowed her eyes: "Your Majesty and the first queen, this is really hard to say." After a pause, she said to Princess Guanghua, "But after all, this is an elder's business, you are a junior, so it is inconvenient to know more." ”
In fact, Princess Guanghua was still young when Empress Xuan died, and her impression of Empress Xuan was limited to being the wife of her father and the biological mother of Yun Ci.
Although Princess Guanghua also had many doubts in her heart, since Mrs. Yan said that it was inconvenient for her to know, she didn't ask anything more.
"By the way, Zexi, there is a sentence, the mother still has to remind you." Mrs. Yan seemed to suddenly remember, and then she told her earnestly, "Mother Concubine knows that you and the second prince have grown up beside the Queen Mother since childhood, and they have a good relationship. It's just that you are out of the cabinet now, and you will soon be a mother, and there are some things you still have to understand. Your concubine, General Xiao Zhu, is the son of General Zhu and has a bright future; Your Majesty has always disliked the second prince, you know, in short, if you don't get too close to him, Your Majesty will not be happy. ”
Hearing that the mother concubine actually said this, Princess Guanghua was slightly unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but she only said: "The daughter knows that the mother concubine is for the good of her daughter, and the daughter wrote it down." "It's one thing to write it down, but it's another thing to disobey it.
However, Mrs. Yan didn't expect so much, and now that Princess Guanghua rarely responded, she smiled with satisfaction: "After all, Wen Yuan is your brother, not something that others can compare." ”
Princess Guanghua lowered her eyes, just listened to Mrs. Yan's words, and did not speak.
