Chapter 410: The Past Should Be Today
"Auntie, you are also an old man who is waiting for me, have you forgotten the rules in Changchun Palace." When the imperial concubine heard Aunt Sun mention the past, her eyes flashed softly for a moment, and then she returned to her usual coldness, "Don't mention the past again." ”
"Niangniang, the slave maid is the old lady's dowry maid, and the slave maid follows the lady and watches you grow up." It is precisely because Aunt Sun is the dowry maid of Mrs. Xiao that she grew up watching the imperial concubine, and she knows that the imperial concubine is also as lively as Shangguan Yunxin when she is not out of the cabinet, but because she is the daughter of a big family, her temperament is also very well raised, and she is not as domineering and domineering as the eldest lady of Zuo Xiangfu now.
Because the imperial concubine Xiao Wenyuan is the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, and she is the most outstanding among the young ladies of the Xiao family, General Xiao knows that the Xiao family is a nobleman, and collecting favors in one body is a collection of grievances, so he has a good plan to send his daughter to the palace and be the emperor's pillow.
If the daughter can be favored, can give birth to a prince for Emperor Qi, and can capture the emperor's true heart, it will be an extra layer of protection for the Xiao family.
General Xiao has many children, but Mrs. Xiao only has a beloved daughter of Xiao Wenyuan, and she is reluctant to send her into the palace to accompany the emperor, but General Xiao is determined to send Xiao Wenyuan into the palace, and only by sending Xiao's daughter into the palace can the Xiao family's loyalty to the emperor be demonstrated.
As the saying goes, once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, not to mention that Emperor Qi was originally afraid of the Xiao family, who had been afraid of the century-old gate valve, and agreed to welcome Xiao Wenyuan into the palace, but in fact, it contained the double meaning of grace and constraint.
If the Xiao family is loyal to the emperor and never gives birth to two hearts, Emperor Qi will naturally always treat Xiao Wenyuan, the only young daughter of the Xiao family, but if the Xiao family has two hearts, then Emperor Qi's pillow person, the imperial concubine Xiao Wenyuan, is naturally the first to be affected by the rebellious maternal family.
Mrs. Xiao only has a beloved daughter, Xiao Wenyuan, naturally she can't bear to marry into the royal family, for the sake of her daughter's lifelong happiness, Mrs. Xiao was almost about to tear her face with General Xiao.
Seeing that his father and mother were arguing over him, Xiao Wenyuan's answer was that he was willing to enter the palace to accompany the holy driver.
At that time, Xiao Wenyuan was the only young daughter of the Xiao family, and she grew up in the palm of Mrs. Xiao's hand since she was a child.
Although Ye Lanshuang is famous in the imperial capital, the Ye family is after all a family of clear streams for generations, and it is not as noble as the Xiao family's generations of hairpins, and the identity of the imperial concubine Xiao Wenyuan at that time is naturally more expensive than Ye Lanshuang.
At that time, Ye Lanshuang and Xiao Wenyuan were equal in terms of talent, but in terms of background, the imperial concubine Xiao Wenyuan was slightly overwhelmed by Ye Lanshuang, Xiao Wenyuan at that time was a proud girl like a peacock in the general's mansion, and the only one who could compare with her in the imperial capital was Ye Lanshuang of Taifu Mansion.
Ye Lanshuang was born in the noble Taifu Mansion for generations, although she was the crown emperor, she never cared about the name outside her body, even if Xiao Wenyuan personally invited her to come over to enjoy the flowers that year, she was politely rejected by Ye Lanshuang.
The young lady of the noble family of the imperial capital Gaomen, who invited to enjoy the flowers or the poetry club, looked like she was meeting friends with literature on the surface, but in fact she was secretly competing, trying to suppress the other party.
Among the nobles of the imperial capital, only Xiao Wenyuan of General Xiao's Mansion and Ye Lanshuang of Ye Taifu's Mansion are the most outstanding, both of them are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their wonderful dancing posture is a must in the imperial capital, and it is really difficult to distinguish between them for a while.
At that time, although Ye Lanshuang was indifferent, Xiao Wenyuan, who was born in a century-old family, was a competitive person, and she had always been dissatisfied with Ye Lanshuang, who could be compared with her, and wanted to compete with her.
At that time, Xiao Wenyuan relied on the nobles of the court, and she was the first talented woman in the imperial capital, so she ignored Mrs. Xiao's persuasion and responded to General Xiao's good plan to send her to Ziyun City.
Xiao Wenyuan when she was a girl, although her temperament was a little arrogant, she was not as high-flying and domineering as Ning Banghua now, and no one in her eyes even if she competed with Ye Lanshuang, she wanted to win in a dignified manner, and she did not have any harmful thoughts.
When she first entered the palace, Xiao Wenyuan was bright and lively, relying on the identity of General Xiao's concubine, and she never felt sorry for those low-level concubines.
Although Xiao Wenyuan entered the palace at the request of General Xiao, when he saw Emperor Qi with a jade face that year, he was also born with admiration, and when Emperor Qi saw the bright and lively Xiao Wenyuan, he also held her in the palm of his hand and pampered her for a while.
Because the Xiao family is a century-old family, Xiao Wenyuan was canonized as a concubine by Emperor Qi when he first entered the palace, and the nobles of ordinary families entered the palace but canonized the position of Chang, even if it was a noble family, it was only a noble person who was awarded the honor of a nobleman, Xiao Wenyuan was a concubine as soon as he entered the palace, and he was the master of the palace, and he didn't know how many nobles of the imperial capital were envious at that time.
The lintel of the Xiao family is higher than that of the Ye family, and Xiao Wenyuan married into the heavenly family and became the Xiao concubine of Changchun Palace, for a while, Xiao Wenyuan's status was naturally far higher than Ye Lanshuang, and since then, the honor of the first talented woman in the imperial capital has steadily fallen on Xiao Wenyuan's head.
That year, Xiao Wenyuan was a new upstart to be favored, and within two years of entering the palace, he gave birth to the eldest prince Shangguan Qingyuan, Xiao Wenyuan was in the limelight for a while, and at that time, Xiao Wenyuan thought that he would have a lifelong dependence on the prince, but Emperor Qi resolutely welcomed Rong, the daughter of Prince Rong, into Ziyun City.
Rong Yue is the daughter of the Rong family, the Rong family is just a foreign surname vassal king, no power in his hands, should not be afraid, but Rong Yue was raised in Shoukang Palace since childhood, the queen mother has a childhood friendship with Emperor Qi, if it were not for Rong Yue's stubborn temperament, insisting on refusing to enter the palace as a concubine, Emperor Qi and her childhood friendship and refusing to embarrass her, presumably she would have been Emperor Qi's concubine.
Xiao Wenyuan, who was as proud as a peacock, suddenly realized one day that if there was no Rong Yue, even if she Xiao Wenyuan was the daughter of a century-old family, she would not be able to enter the palace.
It wasn't until Rong Yue entered the palace and was canonized as Concubine Rong that Xiao Wenyuan at that time clearly realized that Emperor Qi had never been moved by her, and Emperor Qi had always wanted to welcome Rong Yue into the palace alone, if it weren't for Rong Yue's mother family, which was far inferior to Xiao Wenyuan's mother's family, if it weren't for the Emperor Taishang at that time, Emperor Qi was afraid that he would have already moved to welcome Rong Yue into Ziyun City.
