Chapter 552: Reaction
The prince's wedding is closed today.
Emperor Jianwen was served by the young and delicate beauty Lianxiang and had breakfast. Then, he went to Cining Palace with Empress Yu and accompanied Empress Dowager Li to gossip.
After the mother and son reconciled, they never mentioned the events of that day. However, there is always a rift in the heart, which is not as intimate as before.
In just over a year, Empress Dowager Li has aged a lot, her hair is gray, and there are many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes on her forehead. The original habit of wearing red and heavy makeup has also changed. The dress is much more elegant, and it also shows a droopy old state.
“…… Xiao Qi got married today, and the mourning family also counted a matter of concern. Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "The Xiao family is about to give birth, and if you add a great-grandson to the mourning family, the mourning family will be even more happy." ”
Although Empress Dowager Li prefers the four princes, the third prince is also a serious grandson.
It's just that the biological mother of the third prince is surnamed Yu, and the third prince and Queen Yu are particularly close. This is a taboo for Empress Dowager Li.
In front of Emperor Jianwen, Empress Dowager Li would not reveal it. When mentioning Xiao, the tone is also particularly intimate.
Several daughters-in-law are all from famous families, with outstanding talents and appearances, and each has its own strengths.
Xiao Yuhan is the most gentle and virtuous, and Emperor Jianwen is also quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and smiled when he heard this: "I am just as happy to give birth to the emperor's granddaughter." ”
Empress Dowager Li glanced at Empress Yu, who was smiling and silent, and said pointedly: "The heir of the Heavenly Family." How can the granddaughter of the emperor and the grandson of the emperor be compared. According to the mourning family, it is better to give birth to a grandson. The mourning family is looking forward to the prosperity of their heirs, and in the future, the mourning family will be able to see the first emperor underground, and they will be at ease. ”
Empress Yu secretly sneered in her heart.
Empress Dowager Li would often stab her in the heart with such words.
In the past, she was often depressed and depressed because of this. Today, however, these words could not shake her for a long time.
It was Emperor Jianwen, who was a little unhappy, and his voice was slightly deep: "There are many concubines, but the most painful one is Changping." The queen mother's words, is it not that she doesn't like Changping? ”
Empress Dowager Li was choked once, and her face was a little ugly. Soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Changping is the only granddaughter of the mourning family, and the mourning family regards her as an eyeball, how can they not hurt her." When the emperor said such things, he came to poke the heart of the mourning family! ”
Empress Dowager Li's tone softened, and Emperor Jianwen didn't say more, and responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my words that are inappropriate, don't be annoyed." ”
Empress Yu smiled and opened her mouth and said, "The emperor is rarely free today, why don't you dine with your mother in Cining Palace?" ”
Emperor Jianwen smiled happily: "It's okay." ”
Empress Dowager Li was sullen in her heart, don't mention it. I had to squeeze out a happy smile and praise Queen Yu's filial piety against my will.
The atmosphere can barely be regarded as a happy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Grandpa Lu hurriedly walked in. Gonggong Lu, who has always been calm and calm, actually looked panicked at this time: "Emperor Qi, the Seventh Prince met an assassin on the way to welcome his relatives today!" ”
……
What the?
Emperor Jianwen's smile suddenly condensed, and he got up suddenly: "What did you say?" ”
Empress Yu was also taken aback, Huo Ran stood up: "How can there be assassins?" How are the Seven Princes now? Can you get hurt? Can any of the rest of the princes be injured? ”
Even the Empress Dowager Li couldn't sit still, and got up with anger on her face: "Bastard! Who is so bold and bold that he dares to assassinate the prince in broad daylight! ”
Even the Son of Heaven dares to assassinate, let alone the Prince.
Father-in-law Lu muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, and quickly told the story: "...... Among the people who watched the excitement, more than a dozen were injured, and two lost their lives. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was not seriously injured, and the rest of the Royal Highnesses were also safe. ”
Emperor Jianwen breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was still gloomy: "Xuanzhen has issued an edict to the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate this matter." ”
Father-in-law Lu was busy.
Empress Yu frowned and said, "Today, the Seventh Prince was injured, so it is not appropriate to visit the church to get married." It seems that the family affair had to be rescheduled. ”
As soon as the words came out, Empress Dowager Li snorted coldly: "This Xie Mingxi is really hard-hitting." Before he could pass through the door, the Seven Princes were assassinated and wounded. If he really worships the church, will the Seven Emperors still have their lives? According to the mourning family, this family business is just over here. Another is to choose a famous lady for the Seven Princes as his wife. ”
Empress Dowager Li has never seen Xie Mingxi, so she can't talk about good feelings and bad feelings.
However, Concubine Li once said in front of Empress Dowager Li that Xie Mingxi was not, and Li Xiangru also implicitly revealed some old grudges with Xie Mingxi.
Let Empress Dowager Li take the initiative to deal with Xie Mingxi, Concubine Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not so capable.
If you step on it, it's fine.
Emperor Jianwen was noncommittal, and said casually: "I will talk about this matter later." It is inconvenient to visit the church today, and choose another auspicious day to get married. ”
The Seventh Prince was injured, and it was indeed not appropriate to pay homage to the church again.
Empress Yu also had no objection, and after thinking about it for a while, she nodded and responded: "What the emperor said is that the concubine will order someone to go to the Xie family to announce the phoenix's decree." ”
If Emperor Jianwen had the idea of choosing another concubine of the Seventh Emperor, she would definitely find a way to stop it. No matter what, she couldn't watch her friend and lover suffer such a loss.
Then, Empress Yu called Yu Qiao and ordered her to go down.
After Yu Qiao received the order, he immediately went out of the palace and went to the Xie family. As for the Seven Princes' Mansion, there was Gong Lu who led the imperial doctor to go.
……
An hour later.
Grandpa Lu has not yet returned.
Yu Qiao, who went to the Xie family to announce Feng's will, came back with a different look: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave is a step too late." Miss Xie San has taken a sedan chair and gone to the Seven Princes' Mansion. ”
Empress Yu: "......"
Empress Yu almost thought she had misheard: "What did you say?" The Seventh Prince was injured and failed to greet his relatives. How did Xie Mingxi get to the Seven Princes' Mansion? ”
Yu Qiao replied with a complicated expression: "Lord Xie personally gave the marriage and sent Miss Xie San to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. The sedan chair has reached the halfway point, the slave is incompetent, and I don't know how to announce the phoenix's will. I had to go back to the palace to report to my mother, and ask my mother to show me. ”
Empress Yu: "......"
Empress Yu was silent for a long time, but she sighed lightly with a smile and whispered to herself: "The future is terrifying!" ”
What a Xie Mingxi!
It's a good plan to strike first!
Even the royal family did not stop the daughter-in-law from taking the initiative to visit the church. As long as he has done the worship ceremony today, Xie Mingxi will be a serious concubine of the Seventh Emperor.
As for gossip such as being teased for "taking the initiative to send it to the door", it may be troublesome for other women, but for Xie Mingxi, who is strong-minded, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Xie Mingxi's step blocked all possible conspiracy calculations in the future!
It's terrifying!
Empress Yu sighed again in her heart, the corners of her mouth curved, and she got up and went to the Yiqing Hall in person. Inform Emperor Jianwen of this matter: "...... The emperor and the concubine sent Yu Qiao to announce the message. Unexpectedly, Xie Mingxi had taken a sedan chair and went to the Seven Princes' Mansion to pay homage. There is no need to reschedule or change the date. ”
Emperor Jianwen: "......"
