Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Truth About His Background
The conversation between father and son ended unhappily because of the question he asked, and Si Xianhou did not scold him, but weakly beckoned him to let him out.
"You're old and have your own ideas, and my father just wants you to think about it again."
There is nothing to think about, Wu Zhan has never been more sober than now, what is the position of the son of the world, if he doesn't have it, he doesn't want it.
"Ah Liu, prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace to ask to see Your Majesty."
Ah Liu didn't know what had just happened in the study, and he quickly prepared the carriage and horses.
Wu Zhan has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and he also has the waist card given to him by the queen to enter the palace, so he doesn't need to report in advance.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Sixian is not far from the palace, and the kung fu of the two pillars of incense has arrived.
"Childe, it's here." Ah Liu said as he stood outside the carriage.
When you get to the palace gate, you have to get off the car and walk, no matter how big the official position is, it is no exception.
Wu Zhan got out of the car, and the guards guarding the palace gate knew him, but he still checked the waist card according to the rules.
The palace wall was erected high, and Wu Zhan only felt depressed in the past, but today, this place actually made him a little scared, probably because he had to argue with the owner of this palace wall later.
"Cousin?" Princess Meiruo took Aunt Wang and a group of maids to the Internal Affairs Office today to see if the jewelry she had set not long ago was ready, and who knew that she would meet her cousin here.
Why did my cousin enter the palace? She didn't want to break her head, but she didn't think about what happened in the palace recently.
King Qi has not let anyone else know about the marriage for the time being, so Princess Meiruo does not know about this matter.
Since he met, Wu Zhan didn't plan to hide it from his cousin.
"Your Majesty gave me and that princess of Wei, Gongsun Long, a marriage."
"Huh?" Mei Ruo covered her mouth, obviously frightened by the news.
After that day, she never saw the two princesses of Wei again, and in her heart, she didn't look down on those two, obviously she was raised by the queen of Wei, and she didn't have the slightest bearing, and she couldn't even compare with ordinary official ladies.
Such a woman, or the one who showed her love in public, actually asked her to marry her cousin?
Mei Ruo's first reaction was also unwilling.
"Then my cousin came to the palace this time to prepare to resist the decree?" Princess Meiruo guessed Wu Zhan's intention and asked cautiously.
Wu Zhan nodded.
Mei Ruo continued to cover her mouth, and compared to the marriage, the protest was obviously more surprising and unacceptable to her.
She knows her father's character, and if she resists the decree, she will definitely make him unhappy, so no matter what this person does in the future, it will definitely cause him to be unhappy.
Although my cousin will not worry about his life because of this incident, I am afraid that his future future will be gone.
He is about to participate in the scientific examination, and he will take the official career seriously.
Mei Ruo wanted to persuade her cousin, but she couldn't.
From her point of view, she can completely understand her cousin, if it were herself, I am afraid that she would also fight.
Aunt Wang, who was behind Princess Meiruo, suddenly took a step forward at this time and said, "The second prince might as well go and sit with us, Your Majesty doesn't know what to do at this moment." Let's send someone to inquire first, otherwise if we bump into Your Majesty and be unhappy, it will be difficult for the second son to say anything. ”
This is reasonable, Wu Zhan himself has no manpower in the palace, and his cousin is a trustworthy person, if she is willing to help inquire, it would be fine.
Mei Ruo listened to Aunt Wang's words and immediately agreed, she couldn't help much, she could still do this little thing.
"Drink tea."
When she arrived at Princess Meiruo's palace, Aunt Wang took the lead in pouring a cup of tea for Wu Zhan, and Princess Meiruo herself was not worried about the palace people under her hands, so she decided to go and see what her father was doing.
In this way, even if someone finds out, it can be said that the daughter misses her father and comes to see it.
Aunt Wang didn't leave after serving tea, but walked up to Wu Zhan, and said with a serious expression: "Second son, the old slave knows that he is not qualified to take care of your affairs, but he still has to say a word, but he is just a woman, you will marry it, don't make Your Majesty angry." ”
Wu Zhan has been taken care of by Aunt Wang every time she entered the palace since she was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is half an elder, and she will not be offended when she says this at this time.
He knew that Aunt Wang was from a realistic perspective and thought about her future in the future, but he must fight this time.
Even if he is demoted to a commoner, he believes that with his own ability, he can live well.
He told Aunt Wang about his thoughts, but she reacted very much.
"No, second son, how can you have such thoughts? Please leave the palace now, and don't provoke Your Majesty. ”
Aunt Wang is so tough, it is really a bit abnormal, Wu Zhan knew that he couldn't make sense with her, so he stopped talking.
Aunt Wang was so anxious that she was sweating in place, glanced at Wu Zhan, and then clenched her fists and paced in place.
After hesitating for a long time, Aunt Wang looked outside the door, it was empty at the moment, and the princess had not returned.
It's too late, she must not let the second son destroy herself like this.
Aunt Wang said with a straight face: "Second son, haven't you always wanted to know about your mother's affairs. ”
Wu Zhan was curious: "You have been in the palace all the time, how can you know about my mother?" Even if you're close to your aunt, ......"
"Because your mother is not Mrs. Sixianhou." Aunt Wang interrupted Wu Zhan's words and threw out a bombshell.
"Your mother is the late Queen Mother."
It was as if a thunderbolt from a sunny day slammed into Wu Zhan's body, making him unable to move, how could his mother be an aunt?
He looked at Aunt Wang in surprise, as if waiting for her to continue.
"The queen mother gave birth to two little princes back then, but they both died before the age of three. At first, Niangniang only cared about sadness and didn't think too much about it. ”
Aunt Wang's face was full of reminiscence, as if she was extremely missing her graceful and elegant master.
"Later, Niangniang inadvertently found some signs, the little prince, it seems that he did not die normally."
"When Niangniang was pregnant, her appetite was always normal, and the child she gave birth to was also healthy, and her crying was louder than the other children she had seen. However, the two little princes were diagnosed with congenital hypoplasia within a month of birth. ”
"How so?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Wang glanced at him and sighed: "Yes, the old slave also suspected it at that time, but there was no evidence until the mother was pregnant with a child again, that is, you." ”
"That time, we were very careful, and we checked everything carefully about food and utensils. Even the fetal pills are taken from outside the uterus, and there is absolutely no mistake. ”
"But Niangniang is still afraid, we strictly monitor everything around her, one day, the concubines come to Niangniang to say goodbye, because Niangniang is pregnant, they sit for a while every time and leave, and they will not have intimate contact with Niangniang."
"But that day, Concubine Jing, who was very favored at that time, said a word, saying that the new clothes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so strange that they had a trace of fragrance, and they couldn't be washed off, and she liked it so much."
As soon as this statement came out, some veteran concubines also agreed, and said that they had encountered such material two or three times, but when they asked later, they said that there was no more, and they could only meet it by luck.
