Chapter 24: Marriage (3)
Concubine Ying immediately left her seat, bowed, and said respectfully: "The queen said this, the concubine can't stand it, you know, because you are not in good health, the emperor specially let the concubine have the power to manage the six palaces, and the concubine has acted since she acted with you everywhere, and now it is all for the child, for fear that Changjue and the girl of the Jin family will have a bad time after becoming a family, you want to say that the concubine is fighting with you, and the concubine has nothing to say, so she can only be punished." ”
"You ...... mouth"
"As for Miss Jin, she is not ashamed." Concubine Ying grabbed a vacancy and put the words in, where can the other party be allowed to deduct a few more charges, "Since the queen mother looks down on her for not respecting herself, she will reward us with the left concubine of Changyuan, which is just right, so as not to enter the palace of Prince Gong, and the mother will not be pleasing to the eye everywhere, and it will be even worse if she is angry." ”
Looking at her such a humble and arrogant appearance, the queen knew that she had lost the game completely, and sure enough, the emperor couldn't stand it from the sidelines, and said directly: "You can calm down, the queen is also thinking about Changjue, and she is a little out of shape for a while, no matter what, I can't blame you for this matter, since this girl from the Jin family already admires our Changyuan, it is naturally the best to put it in the Qi Palace." ”
Emperor Chrysostom's words, even if they were said casually, were the final word, and the expression on the queen's face instantly dimmed a lot, and she slowly leaned on the chair, full of depression, and seemed to be no longer angry.
Wei Changjue sat down, feeling a little uncomfortable for his mother, and just wanted to stand up and say that he didn't care about this, Wei Changyuan had slowly walked to the court, and after saluting, he said, "Son, thank you for your father's grace." ”
Princess Qi has always been sensible, but she didn't come out with him to salute at this time, and she was really uncomfortable in her heart.
And Concubine Ying was full of kindness, and said gently: "In the future in the palace, you have to live a good life, Huayin, you also have to remember what your identity is, and persuade Changyuan to spread out." ”
Xiao Huayin was pointed, and had to stand up, blessed his body, lowered his head fiercely, and didn't know where to look, "Yes, the teachings of the concubine, the sons have remembered it." ”
Concubine Ying has been thinking about stuffing Pei Lanyi to her son again, and looked at the emperor with a smile, "It is said that good things come in pairs, Changyuan has a side concubine, and in the position of the concubine, it is good to put another talent, so that the palace of the king of Qi can be regarded as complete." ”
The emperor just smiled lightly, with little interest, "What kind of woman do you like?" ”
In front of him, Concubine Ying has always been responsive, so she said with a smile, "The eldest girl of Pei Gui of the Ministry of War is a straightforward child, and the concubine has met her a few times and said a few words, thinking that if she enters the Qi Palace, she can help with some Huayin." ”
Xiao Huayin lowered her head and bit her lip silently, there was really a cramp in her heart, originally she was the only serious hostess in the Qi Palace, although Wei Changyuan didn't treat her with the top of her heart, she was also loved many times, and never let those concubines have any publicity in front of her.
Originally, the life of the husband and wife was also passed vividly, but as soon as it was stuffed, two women were stuffed in, and Wei Changyuan had already told her that one side concubine and two concubines would definitely be filled, and she, as the princess of Qi, had to show a magnanimous attitude, don't let others see the jokes, and don't make the mother unhappy.
Xiao Huayin should accept it on the surface, but in her heart it seems to be tormented in a frying pot, which woman is willing to share her loving husband with others? What's more, her age is far from the time when she is alive and well.
The brain was hot, and when the words came out, Xiao Huayin was startled, she really didn't expect that she had the courage to refute her mother-in-law in person, "Erchen heard that Pei Da girl is very illiterate, and she was even beaten by Master Pei for family law, and Erchen sent her something to comfort her, she didn't seem to be very grateful, if a person like her became the princess of Qi, it would not be a good thing for our Highness." ”
Concubine Ying never expected her daughter-in-law to dismantle her own stage like this, and she was stunned before suppressing the anger in her heart, and said: "You are young, you don't understand yet, Miss Pei is a little naughty, but her mind is pure, such a person is easy to get along with." ”
However, before Xiao Huayin could say anything, the emperor opened his mouth, "Pei Gui is a daughter-in-law, I feel wronged to be a concubine, and the little girl will feel uncomfortable at that time, and she will not be able to live a good life with Changyuan." You, as a mother, love your son as it should be, but you must think about it more, and it is a good thing to be in harmony with the whole palace of Qi. I looked at Huayin and thought very well this time. ”
Ying Guifei "chuckled" in her heart, the emperor's words were gentle, but she obviously felt a trace of dislike, as a pillow person who had been with her for many years, Ying Guifei immediately left her seat and bowed, "Thank you for the emperor's consideration of Changyuan, the concubine is like an initiation, this Pei girl, it is still good not to enter the palace of Qi." ”
"Okay, I'm just reminding you, what to do, get up, it's time to talk about Changjue."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Wei Changyuan suddenly said: "Back to my father's words, Erchen thinks that there is really a good marriage right now, and Miss Pei is a little wronged to be a concubine, but doesn't the third brother just don't have a concubine?" What's more, the third brother has always been kind and elegant, and when he meets Miss Pei, he is naughty and lively, but he is a good couple. ”
The queen saw that the emperor's face was slightly loose, and she was a little anxious, she didn't think too much about what future Pei Gui would have, and thought that Pei Lan was arrogant, thinking that her son was already being wronged everywhere, if he came to the top again, how would he be depressed in the future, so she quickly found a reason to refuse, "Her father is only a positive fifth grade, and he is worthy of my emperor, I am afraid it is not suitable." ”
Concubine Ying didn't understand why her son wanted to push a family like the Pei family, which would inevitably be reused in the future, to Wei Changjue's side, frowning, and standing with the queen for the first time, "What Niangniang said is that Miss Pei is a concubine, and her identity is still a little out of reach." ”
Who Cheng thought that the emperor seemed to think that this proposal was very good, and asked Wei Changjue directly, "What do you think, you have also seen Miss Pei." ”
Wei Changjue stood up and hung his head since he started talking about his marriage, and it was difficult to distinguish the taste in his heart at the moment, if it was according to his own thoughts, even a girl like Fang Wanyu who had only met a few times would not want to be harmed, and Pei Lanyi, who sincerely comforted him, was even more reluctant to bring it to the fire pit, but for some reason, the words of refusal swirled around his mouth, but he couldn't say it.
The emperor also smiled and said: "What's the matter, the prince just chooses a concubine, his father is a five-grade person, and he is not a very small official, and Pei Gui is worried about the country and the people, I appreciate it a lot, and the daughter he taught is also upright and upright, just for Changjue's housekeeper." ”
What else did Concubine Ying want to say, but the emperor had already looked at Wei Changjue, "Tell me yourself, how about marrying such a girl?" ”
Wei Changjue's ghost made a mistake, and there were two scenes in his mind: the first was Lan Yi holding a heavy jujube wood abacus, and the momentum was like a little tiger with teeth and claws, shouting "Come on, go on"; The second was that it was a cold night, Lan Yi had a comforting smile in his eyes, and his tone was gentle, telling Wei Changjue that he was very skinny, and he had come over all these years.
Her situation doesn't look very good, but she is still trying to warm others, she wants to save the little girl, and she wants to make up for the lack of heart for a prince like herself.
For the sake of such a little warmth, Wei Changjue's thousands of thoughts finally condensed together, and when he gave his hand, he said such a sentence steadily, "Miss Pei's father is loyal and patriotic, and the sons and daughters hope that there will be more loyal and righteous people in our dynasty, and the sons are very willing to marry Miss Pei as the concubine." ”
The emperor smiled "haha", "That's it, let's just decide, just like when Changqi Changyuan married his wife, Changjue and Changze also married together, and the two princesses passed the door on the same day, and the palace was going to be lively." Then he looked at Concubine Ying, "The queen is frail, these things need to be handled by you, it's hard work." ”
Concubine Ying slowly left her seat and saluted slowly, "Thank you for the emperor's compassion, it is the duty and blessing of the concubine to share the worries of the emperor and the queen." Then she glanced at Wei Changyuan and didn't say anything more.
And the queen lost her soul, and even forgot about thanksgiving, all she thought about was why the sons of Concubine Ying married girls, fathers or grandfathers in the family, all of them were officials of the third grade, and their own children had to suffer such grievances.
Later, the banquet was dispersed, and Concubine Ying sent the emperor and queen away, and immediately asked Wei Changyuan to go back to Changfu Palace with her, saying that she had something to ask him, but Wei Changyuan was unwilling, and said directly: "Mother, my son is already old, and it is so late now, it is quite inconvenient to go to your palace again, so if you have something to say, you can talk to your son here." ”
Concubine Ying was helpless, withdrew from the palace people, and asked Princess Qi to wait outside, before she asked in a low voice: "Didn't you arrange it before, let that girl from the Pei family enter the palace of Qi?" Why did you change the hexagram temporarily? It's just a matter of changing the hexagram, what do you do with the third child? Now it seems that Pei Lanyi's status in the family is not high, but where can Pei return to the future, we know it, what do you do to let the third child pick up this ready-made cheap? ”
Wei Changyuan sneered, "Isn't Pei Lanyi very arrogant, saying that her concubine is not a concubine, then let her marry the third child, let her know that the wife is not so easy to do, and the people in his palace are probably just about the same as a dog in my palace of King Qi." ”
Ying Guifei was so angry that she couldn't do it, "What are you doing with a woman about this?" She is so young, even if she is arrogant, she will be finished after grinding, but now it is good, the wood is already in the boat, and you have completely tied the Pei family and Wei Changjue together. ”
Wei Changyuan sneered, "If you tie it, you can tie it, what kind of flowers can you turn up." Mother concubine, you first accepted a side concubine for me, and then you want to stuff the concubine in, even if Huayin is generous, it is somewhat uncomfortable, besides, the father's tone is obviously unwilling to let Pei Lanyi enter the Qi Palace, why should we not get along with our father. ”
"You're stupid, you're stupid." Speaking of this, Concubine Ying was even more annoyed, "Your father doesn't agree at this time, and the palace naturally won't keep mentioning it, when he is in a good mood one day, grind it, and things will be fine, you have to ...... Today, Huayin is too, and she even refuted me in public, is there a daughter-in-law like her? You call her in, and I have something to say to her. ”
"Okay, Mother, it's not worth saying so much. Huayin is very virtuous, there is no need to celebrate the festival and accuse her of being bad and bad. ”
Concubine Ying was very unhappy when she saw him protecting his wife, and said with a calm face: "What if you say two words about her, I am a mother-in-law, and I don't even have the qualifications to teach my daughter-in-law?" It's not a bad thing for you to love her, but don't do it, it's a serious thing to spread out. ”
Wei Changyuan was a little impatient, not to mention that his wife's health was not very good, after giving birth to her eldest daughter, she was blindly willing to get sick, and now she was waiting outside in the ice and snow, but she couldn't stand it, "Your son and I don't have to rely on so many women, Jin Yiyan is enough, and then Pei Lanyi, maybe there will be a fall out in the Qi Palace, besides, Pei Lanyi is very uninteresting, I don't like her to dangle in front of me, push it to the third plague god, the two of them have a bad life is just what I want." Besides, no one said that you can't teach your daughter-in-law, but it's just a holiday today, so why bother to add another blockage to your mother's heart? If nothing else, the retainer retired. ”
After that, he arched his hand and left the Qihua Palace, leaving Concubine Ying alone here sullen and angry, this anger naturally can't be sent to his own son, and he can only pity Princess Qi, who was selected by thousands of people before, is being hated by all kinds in her mother-in-law's heart at the moment.
And the situation of the queen's mother and son is quite similar to that of Ying Guifei, the palace people are all driven away, and Wei Changjue is also comforting his mother, "There are a lot of rumors about Pei Lanyi, but there are many that can't be counted, she is not a brainless person, and her son needs to be like this." ”
The queen was desolate, "But her mother's family is that status, you look at Concubine Ying, the eldest son has to be liked by your father, I won't say it, the younger son hasn't made any achievements in the court, he has to match the daughters of several generations of meritorious families, why can you only take Pei Lanyi?" As she spoke, she whimpered, "After all, it's your queen mother who I don't use." ”
Wei Changjue was very patient, knowing that his mother didn't like to cry, but he had accumulated too many grievances during this time, and he didn't hold it for a while, so he said slowly: "Queen Mother, if you say so, Pei Lanyi's grandfather is also a generation of famous ministers, and Pei Gui has an upright temperament, he is a clear stream in the court, and his son does not dare to get involved in too much government politics, but he privately speculates that Pei Guihui will be a pivotal figure in the future military department." ”
"But, Pei Lanyi was spoiled by him! She is not a gentle woman who can know cold and hot and accompany you. ”
"How do you know that she can't be with her son before she passes through the door?" Wei Changjue smiled and looked very determined, "Besides, in the famous ladies, people who are gentle and docile like the second emperor's sister-in-law are easy to find, but it is not easy to find those with a strong temperament, not to mention that this Pei Lanyi is not only temperamental, but also smart and knows how to advance and retreat, such a woman will not be bullied by those minions in King Gong's mansion." ”
