Chapter 208: Then take a gamble
After getting a satisfied daughter-in-law, the old lady came to the palace happily all the way, and only when she arrived at the gate of the imperial city did she restrain her smile and solemnly follow the attendant inside.
Princess Min has now relegated her fever to Da'an, but she still lives in the palace of the concubine, I don't know if she doesn't want to leave, or if the emperor intends to stay.
But this doesn't make sense in any reason, and it should have gossiped about things that Min Cheng couldn't hold her head up, and the ministers figured out the emperor's thoughts, and had already warned their families not to talk nonsense, so as not to get into trouble.
Zhu Rong sent his grandmother into the inner palace, and then turned to the front of the main hall, Zhu Chengqian was about to go to the court, and saw his son from afar.
The father and son hurriedly said a few words, and the eunuch of the main hall summoned the ministers to the court, and they walked on the road well, when Jin Dongsheng suddenly caught up from behind and squeezed the two behind him.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" The colleagues on the side came forward to help, watched Jin Dongsheng swagger forward, shook his head and said, "It's too self-conscious, the lower official heard that the day before yesterday, his son rode a horse and rampaged on the street, injured pedestrians and people, and entangled in the court. ”
I wish Chengqian a good self-cultivation: "It's okay, they have just arrived, they don't know the rules of the capital, you and I should be more tolerant, and it will be fine in the future." ”
After saying that, he glanced at his son, and the father and son went to the pilgrimage to see the emperor together.
In the inner palace, the old lady met with the concubine and Princess Min, and the concubine sat for a while because she received the gift of the family yesterday, and then said that she wanted to go out for a walk, so that they could talk alone.
Since Min Ji learned that her husband and son were still alive, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart after changing the strength she had been holding on to for five years.
In this way, lest she be exposed to others, and after drinking that day, she felt abnormal, and she should have left the table early and went home to seek a way to save her, but she decided to make a scene so that the emperor could see her helplessness and pity.
It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor's old feelings were undiminished, not only distressed and pitiful, but also angry, and he had to arrest people and bring them to justice.
"Niangniang......" The old lady got up from her seat and knelt down towards Min Hui.
Princess Min hurriedly said: "What is the old lady doing, please hurry up." ”
The old lady said, "Niangniang Rong." ”
The old lady knows the personality of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, instead of deceiving and lying, it is better to tell the truth, pity the elderly person, knelt for a long time to tell the ugly things about her daughter-in-law, mentioning that she was instructed by the concubine, the old lady said: "The concubine is not shirking responsibility, she just wants to let Niangniang know what happened, and I beg Niangniang to open up to my stupid woman." ”
Princess Min got up and helped: "You sit down and talk." She said, "The concubine and I have always been at odds, and she will do these things, and I guessed it." On that day, it was rumored in Beijing that I had a secret knot with Renzhu, insinuating that I was doing indecent things with the emperor, and someone found out at that time that it was related to your mansion. I didn't want to worry about the fact that the two mansions were in-laws, but I didn't want to think that the second lady of your mansion would attack me even harder. ”
The old lady was about to kneel down again, but Princess Min stopped her and said: "The person who should kowtow to me to make amends, hide at home like a turtle, and push you, the white-haired old man, out to suffer the crime, old lady, don't blame me for talking too much about your housework, the family is like this, and the house will not last long." ”
"Yes......"
"I didn't want the emperor to make a big deal for me, I just wanted to ask the emperor to stop and calm things down." Princess Min said, "But since the old lady begged me, why don't you ask for one thing too?" ”
The old lady hurriedly got up: "Niangniang commands, how dare you mention the word request, please ask Niangniang to command." ”
Princess Min said: "Even if I have recovered now, for some reasons, there is no suitable excuse to leave the palace, I want to take Yao Nian out, but it is difficult to speak." Whenever this matter is mentioned, the queen is perfunctory, not to mention the emperor. ”
The old lady thought secretly in her heart and asked, "What does Niangniang mean?" ”
Princess Min said with a smile: "There is a happy event in your family, I also heard about it in the palace, and I just happened to help the child, her father and the prince are old friends." I thought, they Yan family has no relatives in Beijing, so they can't come and live in your mansion, or find an inn outside, since they are the children of Jizhou, they are all the children of me and the prince, I want Fuyi to marry from the palace, do you think it is appropriate? ”
The old lady said: "This is a great kindness, how inappropriate, thank you for your love." ”
Princess Min said with a smile: "Then you can tell the eldest lady, and she will open up this matter to the queen, so that I can let Nian'er and I go out to do some family affairs and prepare for the marriage of the two mansions." ”
Things are trivial, but the grievances and grievances can be big or small, I wish the family to stand for 300 years, that is, she made the right choice in every turmoil, and next, it should be her children and grandchildren to make a choice again.
The old lady was born in the door, and since she was a child, she watched her father and brother fight on the battlefield and defend the country, but now the emperor seeks peace in everything, and the small countries of Fanbang dare to attack.
Although the singing and dancing in Beijing is prosperous, but the border wars have been frequent in recent years, and it has not stopped, and she has been dissatisfied for a long time, but nothing can be changed except dissatisfaction, and even the children of her mother's family have long been at home.
The carriage slowly drove towards the house, and the old lady closed her eyes and thought, Princess Min's family is like this, the house will not last long, the same is true for the family, and even more so for the country.
At that time, Taizu stepped on blood all the way, entered the capital from Jizhou, beheaded the monarch and destroyed the ministers, and rescued the people from the dire situation of the former Zhao.
The old lady opened her eyes and said slowly: "Then take a gamble, if there is no peaceful and prosperous world, how can I have the peace of my children and grandchildren." ”
Four or five days later, the ceremonial officials who went to Kishu to announce the decree returned to the capital to report to the emperor, but Zhu Chengqian and his wife explained the matter of the old lady of the Yan family, but they were in vain.
Since the two young men had no dispute in this marriage and were innocent, the emperor affirmed the auspicious day that Zhu Rong planned to choose, and wished that the two families would be married on July 17.
Zhu Chengqian's wish was disappointed, and he had fantasized countless times that he wanted to organize a grand and grand wedding for his son, but at this moment, he was in a state of interest and could not arouse his interest at all.
In Xinghuatang, Wang's mother recovered from her injuries, returned to the eldest lady, and persuaded the master: "When you enter the door, you are the daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law makes the rules, what does she dare to do?" ”
The eldest lady really hated it: "If she dares to be disrespectful to me and give up everything, I can't let her live well, what have I earned in this family all my life." ”
Before the words fell, someone from the inner courtyard spread the word, saying that the old lady wanted to see her son and daughter-in-law, Zhu Chengqian had already come out of the study and was waiting for his wife at the door, and the eldest lady was not easy to say, so she followed reluctantly.
Unexpectedly, the old lady asked her daughter-in-law to enter the palace and told the queen that she was looking forward to helping her to marry from Prince Sheng's mansion, and she had already agreed with Princess Min, so she almost told the queen.
There was no promise or not to say this matter in front of the emperor, and the emperor and empress could not force people to stay, but there must always be someone to speak, and it is obviously more reasonable to take the position of the Zhu family.
But the eldest lady knows that the emperor is jealous of Jizhou, and she just wants to help a common person, and the old lady has to be involved with Prince Sheng's mansion, isn't she looking for death?
"My daughter-in-law can't promise you this." The eldest lady resolutely objected, "Is the mother confused, why did the father and son die, do you want me to make it clear to you?" That's it, it's too late for people to walk around Prince Sheng's mansion, how can you still let your granddaughter-in-law marry from their family's door. ”
The old lady disagreed: "Your daughter-in-law is still someone else's daughter-in-law, one day when it comes to life and death, you think that if you don't have this one thing, you will be able to get rid of it." ”
The eldest lady said coldly: "Han'er is a widow, and it has nothing to do with the palace for a long time, and Min Ji also promised me that she would return Han'er's freedom." In short, our family, the farther away from the palace, the better, I must not agree to this matter. ”
The old lady said: "If the princess accepts the righteous daughter, her status will be noble, and I am also for the good of your son." ”
The eldest lady didn't wait for her husband to speak, so she said: "You don't care what the child's background is, you are coaxing your son to say these things, but you probably don't know that this marriage, the lord is reluctant, even if he wants to be the emperor's righteous daughter at this time, he is reluctant." ”
"Shut up." Zhu Chengqian finally spoke, and gave his wife a look, "You go back first, and I'll explain to my mother." ”
The eldest lady was furious: "Don't blame me for disrespecting my mother, you just say that I won't agree." ”
She brushed her sleeves away, and when she went out, she also recited the sentence: "It's really old and confused...... The movement was not afraid that the old lady would hear it, so she deliberately said it to her mother-in-law.
Zhu Chengqian was embarrassed, bowed down and said, "Mother, don't worry about her, she is also thinking about this family." ”
The old lady didn't bother to pay attention to it, and looked at her son with a smile: "I think you are very troubled now, I look down on Fuyi's background, but people have got the emperor's marriage, which makes you infinitely beautiful." said that the help is not good, the child has good conduct, talent and appearance, and more importantly, the brain is good, very smart, and it is difficult to pick a child who is comparable to her in the capital, for this family, it is no better. But you are worried that since then, your son has a daughter-in-law and forgets his father, and the child you bothered to raise will be abducted. ”
Zhu Chengqian pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and said nothing.
The old lady said: "You still complain about me, and you are full of determination, I made up lies to deceive you and Rong'er." ”
Zhu Chengqian suppressed his anger and said: "Mother is true or not, the son doesn't care, the son just wants to know, is Rong'er trying to fulfill you, or if he has discussed it with you to deceive me." ”
The old lady said calmly: "This matter is all in your own heart, your son is yours, and he has no second father." If one day, you don't want him, what else can he do? ”
