Chapter 20: Xu Qingyan Phoenix Comes to the World
On the day Xu Qingyan was born, it was the first sunny day after the rain, and there was still a bright rainbow hanging in the sky.
At that time, a taxi passed by Xu's mansion, knocked on the door and came in, saying that there was a phoenix here.
The phoenix, that's the symbol of the queen. Xu Ge was about to reprimand the Taoist priest for his nonsense, and ordered someone to give him silver money and let him leave, so that he would not cheat again in the future.
However, as soon as the Taoist priest left on the front foot, Xu Ge Lao took Xu Qingyan's eight characters to find a few famous masters in the world to tell fortunes, but he didn't want to say that this woman had the life of a phoenix.
If one person says this, Xu Ge can think that he is talking nonsense, but if everyone says this, then it is not the case. Elder Xu Ge finally accepted the prophecy that his little granddaughter would be the queen in the future.
After Xu Ge Lao returned home, he called his son and daughter-in-law to him and told them Xu Qingyan's phoenix horoscope.
Master Xu and Mrs. Xu looked at each other, their daughter had just been born, and some people said that she would become the queen in the future.
"Father, is this true?" Mrs. Xu had a faint joy on her face, if her daughter was the queen, then she would be the emperor's mother-in-law. Although Mrs. Xu is still young now, it is difficult to understand what a mother-in-law is, but as long as she thinks that she is the emperor's mother-in-law, this feeling is a little fluttering.
Master Xu stood aside, bowing his head and being silent. Compared with the backhouse woman, his vision is more far-reaching. His daughter is the queen, is this fortunate or unlucky?
The queen, the mother of a country, seems to be noble, but throughout the previous dynasties, there are not many queens with good endings. The queen's position, like walking on thin ice, accidentally turned back into the valley and fell into the valley, shattering her bones, while the queen's maiden family and the queen were both prosperous and lost.
Master Xu couldn't help frowning, it may not be a blessing to have a queen's daughter......
Xu Ge took in the reactions of his son and daughter-in-law, and shook his head helplessly, "I don't know if the matter of the fate chart is true or not." But it is better to believe in everything than to believe in it, and tell me what to do. ”
"Father, if it's true, it's a good thing for our Xu family." Mrs. Xu looked at her husband first, but Master Xu kept his eyes silent, so Mrs. Xu had to say it first.
It's just that as soon as she said this, she was reprimanded by Master Xu: "Nonsense! What do the women of the back house know! ”
Mrs. Xu's face was stupid, "Master, if Yan Yan really becomes a queen in the future, this is a splash of wealth." "Mrs. Xu is also from everyone's background, not because she is so attached to glory and wealth, but because she thinks that her daughter is the queen and is honored and favored, which is a good thing, does anyone think that life is too good?
"The wealth of the sky, then you have to have a life!"
Master Xu held the opposite opinion, looked at his father, and said: "Father, looking at the previous dynasties, how many of the concubine family have a good end?" This earth-pouring wealth ...... Don't! ”
"Master......" Mrs. Xu was dumbfounded, her husband actually said that this wealth should not be done.
It's a godsend, why not?
"Alright, I know what you two mean." These two people had opposite intentions, and Xu Ge simply stopped, lest the two of them quarrel over this matter.
"What does Father think?" Master Xu asked his father.
Master Xu himself is not a person with much wisdom, but he deeply understands that the most far-sighted person in the entire Xu family is his father Xu Gelao. In that year, the war was in chaos, Xu Ge Lao was wise and discerning, and took the whole family to take refuge in the Zhao family, and later the Dayue Dynasty was established, and Xu Ge Lao also successfully became a high-ranking official.
"At the moment, Yan Yan is still young, and I don't know whether the phoenix's horoscope is true or false, so it's pointless to think about it now." When Xu Ge Lao spoke, his eyes skimmed in front of his son and daughter-in-law.
At this time, there is no point in snickering in the heart, and there is no point in worrying.
Both Master Xu and Mrs. Xu had sneering faces, especially Mrs. Xu. It was just a prophecy that they didn't know whether it was true or not, and they almost lost their minds.
"If Yan Yan really enters the palace as the fate chart says in the future, our Xu family will also be the concubine family." Elder Xu Ge said this to tell Master Xu that even if Xu Qingyan was the queen, the Xu family did not need to worry.
"But the concubine family is not so easy." Master Xu was still worried. By the time Xu Qingyan grew up, Xu Ge was already over the age of old, and he didn't know how long he could last. When the time comes, will the Xu family be able to survive the difficulties?
"So from now on, you have to be extra careful not to cause trouble to Yan Yan." Xu Ge Lao Zhengse said, "Regardless of whether the fate chart is true or not, Yan Yan must be raised according to the standards of the concubine since she was a child. From today onwards, you must also be cautious in your words and deeds, and the statements about the life of the phoenix have been tightly covered for me, and they are not allowed to be passed on. ”
If the statement of the phoenix's destiny spreads, there will inevitably be a prince to fight for it, and in the end, Xu Qingyan is afraid that before he takes the position of queen, he has already become a victim of the competition for the throne.
"Anyone who has seen that Taoist priest has been sent away, so as to prevent future troubles. You must also hide these words in your stomach, and do not confide in anyone, including your mother's family, if I know who leaks the news, I will immediately drive him out of the Xu family! "Xu Ge has been an official for a long time, and the majesty that the years have precipitated on him is not comparable to ordinary people. After a sharp speech, he immediately made Master Xu and Mrs. Xu nod their heads again and again, not daring to disobey.
Since then, the Xu family has tightly covered the affairs of their lives, and the only people who know about it are Mr. Xu Ge, Mrs. Xu, and Mr. and Mrs. Xu.
Xu Qingyan received the strictest upbringing since she was a child, and when she was enlightened, Xu Ge Lao taught her from the beginning of a stroke. According to Xu Ge Lao's meaning, Xu Ge Lao does not have great wisdom, and he is already old, and many things are difficult to change, so he can only pin his hopes on Xu Qingyan. In the future, Xu Qingyan will carry the entire Xu family, so she not only wants to be a woman who understands etiquette and talents, but also has the strategies and scheming of the superiors.
As Xu Qingyan grew up, Xu Ge Lao was surprised to find that this little granddaughter was an extremely smart girl, and he also began to believe that maybe the prophecy was true. From Xu Ge Lao's point of view, if Xu Qingyan is the queen, he will inevitably become a generation of virtuous queens.
It's just that there is one thing that Xu Ge Lao has never known. Xu Qingyan is actually very tired, she has received the strictest upbringing since she was a child, and under the teaching of her grandfather, she understands things early, understands etiquette, and knows how to advance and retreat.
She was much more precocious than her peers, but she wasn't happy in her heart. A good upbringing, the ardent expectations of her loved ones, and even her ability to express her true feelings in her heart. She can only bury these unhappiness deep in her heart, and then constantly convince herself to accept her fate.
Until, that day, a man broke into her world.
That person's name is Law Rule.
That year, Xu Qingyan was ten years old.
At that time, the turmoil of the prince's seizure of the heir had become more and more intense, Xu Qingyan was carrying the life of the queen, and Xu Ge should have chosen a prince to support him. But at that time, Xu Qingyan was only ten years old, too young to marry, and for a while, Xu Ge Lao didn't know which prince to choose. There are still several years before Xu Qingyan gets married, and the princes are all adults, and they have decided to get married, and it is not Xu Qingyan's turn.
Whether it is King Zhao or King Yi, Xu Ge simply chooses no one and remains neutral. Who would have thought that a King Qi suddenly appeared later, King Qi is the son of the first emperor, Xu Ge Lao is the best at judging the situation in his life, but he is the only one who has received the favor of the first emperor, so in the face of the heirs of the first emperor, Xu Ge Lao will inevitably be a little biased.
But King Qi has a concubine, and King Qi and Concubine Zheng have a very strong relationship, Xu Ge thought about it and decided to put Xu Qingyan's phoenix life aside for the time being, and according to his judgment, choose Mingjun to support. Regarding the queen's fate, it probably refers to the successor.
From the perspective of the courtiers, King Qi is indeed the most suitable person to inherit the throne. Therefore, he will help King Qi when appropriate, but only within the scope of his ability.
King Qi and the Zhennan Mansion got close, and Xu Ge Lao asked Xu Qingyan to communicate with Xie Qing, the princess of the Zhennan King at that time, for the future.
From the bottom of her heart, Xu Qingyan is willing to associate with Xie Qing, not for anything else, just because she envies Xie Qing. In her opinion, Xie Qing is the happiest person, Yun Jin spoils her, but does not restrain her, she can do whatever she wants.
Xu Qingyan faintly looked forward to the day when she could live like Xie Qing.
This night, Xu Qingyan was sitting in front of the dresser, letting the maid Xia Cicada remove the hairpin on her head.
The hairpins were all taken off, the buns were untied, and the three thousand green silk drapeds were scattered. Looking at herself in the mirror, the corners of Xu Qingyan's lips were lightly raised, she was the happiest at this time of the day, her hairpin was gone, and she no longer had to maintain the dignified elegance of a woman, this moment was the most relaxing moment of the day.
Suddenly, Xu Qingyan's face changed, and through the bronze mirror, she was seeing a figure swaying in the treetops not far away.
Xu Qingyan quickly calmed down, she found the man, but the man didn't know.
"Xia Chan, you go and call Xu An over, I suddenly remembered that I had something to tell him."
Xia Chan didn't know why, "Miss, but it's getting late at this time, why don't you let Xu Escort come over tomorrow?" ”
Xu An was the guard of the Xu family, and Xu Ge Lao allocated him to Xu Qingyan.
"I'm going out tomorrow, and if I call him again tomorrow, it will be too late." Xu Qingyan had a slight anger on his face, "Do as I tell you." ”
Although Xia Chan still didn't understand, she didn't dare to say anything when she saw that Miss seemed to be angry, and hurriedly went out to call Xu An over.
Xu Qingyan picked up a book from the desk as usual, pretending to read it, but in fact, the rest of his eyes were aimed at the bronze mirror. Before Xu An came, she had to hold steady.
However, when her gaze quietly fell on the bronze mirror again, the figure of the person was no longer visible.
Not good!
Xu Qingyan's face changed slightly......
