Chapter 33: Cause and Effect 1
Du Hongyu, who is in the mouth of several sisters, was born in the Wenguo Mansion and is the niece of Du Guifei, the favorite concubine of the first emperor.
Du Guifei has two sibling brothers, now Du Chong, the Duke of Wenguo, is Du Guifei's second brother, Du Guifei's eldest brother is named Du Yuan, when he was young, he and his wife were killed in the mountains and forests, leaving a son and a daughter, a son also died of illness in the second year after Du Yuan's death, leaving only a daughter Du Hongyu who grew up in the pampering of everyone.
In the tenth year of Yanhe, in March, fifteen-year-old Du Hongyu saw Ding Xiangyan, a new science detective on the street, fell in love at first sight, with the help of Du Guifei, in early April, the first emperor married Ding Xiangyan and Du Hongyu, and in June of the same year, Du Hongyu married Ding Shangshu Mansion as he wished, and became the wife of Ding Xiangyan, the flower explorer.
The conflict between the Wei sisters and Du Hongyu occurred in early April of the same year, on the same day, under the intentional arrangement of Du Guifei, the palace held two banquets for talented men and beauties, at that time, Wei Ya and Wei Xian were ten years old, Wei Man was nine years old, Wei Feng was eight years old, the four sisters did not learn from other ladies to "meet" the talent, but they didn't want to, but coincidentally met the famous Ding Tanhua in the remote corner of the fragrance dyeing garden, and more coincidentally, Du Hongyu who was found was hit by a square, poor Wei family four sisters are young not to mention, didn't even be able to say a word to Ding Tanhua, but she still angered the jealous Miss Du, who framed the Wei sisters on the spot for destroying Du Guifei's favorite pot of peony flowers, causing the four sisters of the Wei family to be punished for kneeling for nearly half an hour before getting up.
"Naturally, I haven't forgotten," thinking of the scene at that time, Wei Ya's face couldn't help but become resentful, and she said angrily: "I think about how arrogant that Du Hongyu was at the beginning, she dropped the pot of Zhao powder in front of us, but she told Du Guifei that it was the four sisters who fell into it when they were fighting......"
"Humph! The daughter of a vulgar merchant! Wei Xian sneered: "I thought that I could do whatever I wanted for a lifetime by relying on the power of Concubine Du, heh!" She never dreamed that she would lose her life so quickly...... I really want to see what kind of life she has been living in the past few months, and it's strange that the Ding family, who has endured her for five or six years, can make her feel better......"
"By the way, I remembered it when I said this, that Ding Tanhua," Wei Ya asked suspiciously: "It's Du Hongyu's father-in-law Ding Xiangyan, where did he go?" Why haven't you heard of him? ”
"Did you forget, eldest sister?" Wei Xian hurriedly reminded: "Ding Xiangyan went to Fujian in early May this year, and this is what the eldest sister told me." ”
Du Guifei was martyred at the end of March, in mid-April, Ding Mansion made a vacancy for Ding Xiangyan in Fujian, in early May, Ding Xiangyan left Beijing to take office, and within two days, Ding Mansion spread the news that Du Hongyu was sick.
"Yes." Wei Ya thought about it and said suddenly: "I remember, Du Hongyu fell ill shortly after Ding Xiangyan left Beijing. ”
"Anything that is sick or not is just a trick." Wei Feng said mockingly: "Why is Ding Mansion in a hurry to let Ding Xiangyan go out? It's just that he has nothing to do with Du Hongyu's death, now it's okay, after getting the news of Du Hongyu's death, Ding Xiangyan doesn't know how to be happy......"
"How can the fourth sister say that, no matter what......" Wei Ya paused for a moment before frowning: "They are both husband and wife." ”
"Huh!" Wei Feng laughed mockingly, lowered his head and drank tea, ignoring Wei Ya's words.
Weiya, who was ignored, was on fire.
"Eldest sister," Wei Xian hurriedly called Wei Ya, who wanted to quarrel with Wei Feng, and analyzed softly: "Du Hongyu is so domineering and domineering, the eldest sister also knows, since she married into the Ding Mansion, it is either rumored that she killed the maid, or she is angry with her mother-in-law...... Does the eldest sister remember? She even relied on Du Guifei's momentum to let Ding Xiangyan's mother kneel for her...... Such a woman, how could Ding Xiangyan care about her husband and wife? ”
Wei Xian's argument was reasonable, Wei Ya was speechless, she glared at Wei Xian unhappily, and reluctantly responded: "Okay." ”
"The second sister can see it clearly." Wei Feng played with the tea cup in his hand and said coldly: "Ding Xiangyan doesn't have any husband and wife love for Du Hongyu, he is afraid that he hates Du Hongyu very much, you haven't heard of it yet, Ding Mansion has released the news that Ding Xiangyan's sister-in-law is seriously ill." ”
"Ahh Wei Ya exclaimed.
The room also resounded with the sound of heaving gasps.
"No, it won't!" Thinking of Du Hongyu, whose cause of death was unknown, Wei Ya said in disbelief: "They won't be so ruthless, that kid is also the blood of the Ding family, how can they bear it......"
"Huh! In the eyes of the people of Dingfu, the bloodline is nothing! Wei Feng said in a solemn tone: "They are determined to remove all involvement with Du Guifei, even on the day of Du Hongyu's funeral, the Ding Mansion did not let the child show up, and even did everything possible to prevent Du Qingyu from seeing the child...... What is the idea of Dingfu? It's so obvious! ”
"In that case...... So cruel! Wei Ya couldn't bear to say.
"Du Qingyu actually went to Ding's Mansion to offer condolences!" Wei Xian asked with curiosity on her face, "Did she really go?" ”
"Humph!" Wei Feng sneered and said, "Du Hongyu is afraid that she can't think of it, there is only one Du Qingyu in the huge Wenguo Mansion to send her ......"
"Then ......" Wei Xian asked gossipingly, "Can anyone embarrass Du Qingyu?" ”
"Humph! At this time, she should stay in the Wenguo Mansion honestly," Wei Feng said disdainfully: "But she ran out to grandstand......"
"How?" Wei Xian asked nervously and excitedly, "Is there really anyone who embarrass Du Qingyu?" The fourth sister will talk about it, how did she embarrass her? ”
Wei Man in the corner glanced around at everyone, but saw that whether it was a young lady or a maid, even the young Wei Yun had an interested look on her face, and she couldn't help but secretly guess Du Qingyu's identity.
"Who has the strength to embarrass her? It's nothing more than a small loss in words. Wei Feng looked too lazy to talk about Du Qingyu.
"Yes," Wei Xian's eyes flashed, and she said with some disappointment, "At present, no one dares to do anything to her." ”
"The grandfather and prince of the Wenguo Mansion did not go to the Ding Mansion, only Du Qingyu still went to mourn with the love of sisterhood...... I admire Du Qingyu for this. Wei Ya said on a matter-by-case basis, and then, thinking of something, she looked at the door, and then said softly: "I'll tell you, my mother told me that Du Qingyu will enter the palace nine times out of ten......"
"Did Mother really say that?" Wei Xian whispered excitedly: "If you say so, it is rumored that the emperor likes her, is it true?" ”
"Nonsense!" Wei Feng suddenly became angry and said: "With her foxy appearance, how can the emperor like her!" ”
Everyone looked at Wei Feng in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly lost her temper.
"Yo! What's going on? ”
Everyone came back to their senses and looked for prestige, and saw Tao's mother standing at the door, looking at the five sisters with doubts on her face.
"The sisters just gossiped a few words." Weiman stood up and said with a smile, "Grandmother asked Mom to come and call us." ”
"Oh!" Mother Tao's eyes flickered a few times, and when she saw Wei Xian shaking her head gently, she smiled and said, "A few young ladies are in a hurry, right?" Mrs. Tai invited the ladies to come in and talk. ”
……
Yanhe four years, the second day of the second month of February, the first emperor began the first southern tour after ascending the throne, the royal drive all the way to the south, in late March through the famous rich place Dongyang County, and a short stay, one day, the first emperor suddenly interested, micro service and only took a eunuch to go to the famous Mochou Lake in Dongyang County at night, but unfortunately fell into the water, at a critical juncture, the boat of Du Shi, the richest daughter of Dongyang County, happened to pass by, which allowed the first emperor to survive.
At this point, the Du family, who had just turned fifteen, lived in the palace of the first emperor.
The royal car of the southern tour was stagnant in Dongyang County for two months, to the beginning of June, the emperor decreed that Du Shi was Zhaoyi and ordered the royal car to set off for Beijing, to arrive in the capital in mid-August, Du entered the harem on the same day and was promoted to Hua Fei by a holy decree, in November of the same year, Du was pregnant, in June of the following year, Du gave birth to eight princes, the first emperor Dayue, promoted Du to the queen, the concubine above the concubine, since then, to the first emperor died in ten years, Du Guifei three thousand favored in one, become a generation of legends.
However, with such a Du clan, Wei Man couldn't figure out why she ended up with a bleak end of martyrdom.
"Before Du Guifei was martyred, wasn't there any sign of falling out of favor?" After listening to Cheng's mother's story about Du Guifei's deeds, Wei Man pondered for a moment and asked puzzledly: "Isn't there a little rumor in the palace that Du Guifei has fallen out of favor?" ”
"Du Guifei has always been very favored by the first emperor, and I really haven't heard of any rumors about her falling out of favor back then......" Cheng's mother recalled for a while, and said: "A month before the first emperor died, he also ordered someone to find countless high-quality jadeites and threw them from a high place, so that Du Guifei listened to the sound of the jade breaking for half an hour, just because Du Guifei inadvertently praised the sound of the jadeite breaking......"
This is the emperor's favor, which is used to being beautiful and makes people intoxicated.
However, if he is so honored, why is he so ruthless at the end of his life?
If Du Guifei showed no signs of falling out of favor, then could it be that the Eighth Prince had done something?
"Where's King Cheng?" Wei Man asked, "Did King Cheng do something to anger the first emperor?" ”
"No, right...... The first emperor has always loved His Royal Highness King Cheng very much, at that time, there were rumors in the capital that the first emperor intended to pass on the throne to His Royal Highness King Cheng......" Cheng's mother thought about it, and whispered: "It's also strange to say, King Cheng had to be taught by the first emperor himself when he was young, and he was crowned king at the age of twelve...... Well, the day before the death of the first emperor, he suddenly issued a decree to declare King Cheng and put King Cheng under house arrest in King Cheng's mansion...... Because it was the will of the first emperor, King Cheng is still locked up in the palace, and he has not even been able to attend the funeral of the first emperor. ”
