Chapter 213, The Secret of the Palace
The rewards of Su Jinyan and others were sent to the Pingguo Mansion with the emperor's holy decree, and everyone's rewards were individual, and the five-room Xifeng Courtyard was particularly lively these days.
The so-called one person ascends to heaven, and the Su Jinyan sisters are named in front of the emperor, and there are naturally countless knots in the door.
What made Su Jinyan amused the most was that her cheap uncle and cheap aunt came to visit again the day after the emperor's reward.
Compared with the visit a few months ago, this time Uncle Cheap and the others were wearing ordinary clothes, their faces were yellow, and they looked seriously malnourished at a glance.
The Xie family came to the door under the guise of the family of the fifth young lady of the Pingguo Mansion, and the Xie family met for the sake of face, but it was this side, and the Xie family was unbelievable.
When she got married, although she didn't bring the same family as the Xie family to marry, her brother's family would not be so poor······
Uncle Cheap and Uncle Aunt Cheap crackled and told Xie what happened to them, Xie couldn't bear it, and was about to loosen his mouth and leak some silver from his fingers to the Xie family, when Su Jinyan stopped Xie's bodhisattva heart.
The temperament of the Xie family, Su Jinyan knew it clearly from Gu Xingda's shopkeeper, not to mention that the Xie family would be so down, and it had an inseparable relationship with her.
She still remembered the last time she was at home, how arrogant the Xie family was to visit, and now it was all just for the silver.
In her words, this cheap uncle's family is just a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, and the silver given to them today is definitely endless······
From the mouth of the Xie family, Su Jinyan also learned a shocking news, it turned out that the reason why Uncle Cheap had fallen to this point was inseparable from Xie Lan, the daughter of the Xie family.
Three months ago, although the Xie family owed a lot of foreign debts, they still had a house, a Zhuangzi, and a field or something, but after the last time the family of three came to the Su family, the proposal to give the twelve-year-old concubine Xie Yun to the acting king was rejected by the Xie family.
After the three returned home, it didn't take long for the concubine Xie Lan to use her appearance to hook up with Tian Bowen, the eldest son of the Tian family.
Gaoding Bofu also has the title of uncle, and the Xie family is down, where can it be compared with Gaoding Bofu.
Moreover, before falling in love with the eldest prince, Tian Yuexin, the daughter of the Gaoding uncle in the stage of talking about marriage, after the eldest prince lost power, he turned around and hooked up with the second prince from the jade concubine, and the east window incident, the emperor gave Tian Yuexin to the second prince as a side concubine in order to cover up the scandal of the royal family, and the wedding date was set for half a month later.
Although the Xie family was defeated, there was only real estate and land, but it just made up for the emptiness of the treasury of Gaoding Bofu.
So Xie Lan relied on the freshness of Tian Bowen, the son of Gaodingbo's mansion, and forced the Xie family to give her the real estate and land as a dowry, and married into Gaodingbo's mansion as she wished, becoming the concubine of Tian Bowen, the son of Gaodingbo.
The Xie family was desperate and went to the government to beat the drum and voice their grievances, but when the government learned that this matter involved the Gaoding Bofu and the second prince from Yu Guifei, they drove the Xie family out of the court.
What happened to the Xie family, Su Jinyan listened to it with relish, if it weren't for the presence of the Xie family at this moment, Su Jinyan really wanted to raise his head and laugh, retribution, the cycle of cause and effect, the Xie family would have fallen to this point······
The Xie family was desperate, and at this time, Su Jinyan and others were rewarded by the emperor, so they simply begged to come to the door, and the meaning of the words was to let the Xie family give them silver for the sake of the brothers and sisters.
Su Jinyan has never let go of what this cheap uncle did in his previous life, how could he give them silver at this time?
However, she gave the Xie family a trick with a bad taste, and asked the Xie family to ask Aunt Xie in the seventh room to give silver, if Aunt Xie in the seventh room gave silver, they would naturally give silver in the fifth room.
Su Jinyan also knows a little about Aunt Xie in the seventh room, she is selfish, and the point is that her ability to turn her face and not recognize people is very powerful.
In their previous lives, after their mother Xie died of illness, their sisters also begged to go to Aunt Xie in the seventh room, and Aunt Xie sent them away when they said goodbye······
Of course, in order to prevent the Xie family from uniting with Aunt Xie of the seventh room, Su Jinyan also bought off a maid from the west cross courtyard of the Zhiqiu Courtyard of the seventh room, and asked her to say some words to sow discord in front of Aunt Xie, the purpose of which was to prevent the Xie family and Aunt Xie of the seventh room from uniting to calculate them.
The three girls in the fifth room of the Su family were rewarded by the emperor, and this matter did not need to be deliberately publicized, and it was also spread all over Lin'an City.
Because his father died in battle, the second room of the Jiang family of the Yingguo Mansion, who got the county barony, was lifeless after getting the news.
Jiang Wanru, the youngest daughter of the second room of the Jiang family, and Su Qingyi, the righteous daughter of the fifth room of the Su family, were given to marry the king as a side concubine.
Later, because Su Qingyi and others went to the battlefield, the king chased them to the battlefield, and the marriage had to be postponed.
Now that the acting king is back, this wedding date should also be put on the agenda, but when it comes, such a thing comes out, even if Jiang Wanru's heart is tied to the acting king, she feels aggrieved at this time.
What's more, her sister-in-law's sister-in-law came to say a few words from time to time, and a simple-hearted girl began to blacken.
Regarding the matter of the Jiang family's second room, the Ying Guo Mansion did not pay much attention to it, and the Ying Guo Mansion was also very busy these days.
Jiang Hongyu, the second son of the Jiang family in Yingguo Mansion, has reached the age of seventeen, but he still hasn't decided on his family, because he went to the battlefield, this person doesn't have to make a family matter, and now that he has returned, this marriage should also be put on the agenda.
Jiang Hongxuan, the eldest son of the head of the Yingguo Mansion, married the eldest princess of Ximeng four years ago, and the marriage of the second son was naturally not good to cross the eldest son and marry a princess back.
However, Jiang Hongyu never nodded, which made the Dongluo County Lord a mother, and then simply held a banquet, invited the nobles of the family and the women of the palace to come to the house, and let the son choose by himself.
Ever since Jiang Hongyu saw the relationship between the Seventh Prince and Su Jinyan on the battlefield, the whole person has been in a daze, as if he had lost three souls and seven spirits.
His compatriot's younger brother, fourteen-year-old Jiang Hongsheng, also somewhat understood some of his brother's thoughts, and he was also very helpless in his heart, according to his meaning, there are so many women in the world, why torture himself so much for a woman who has not yet grown up?
"Second brother, I don't understand, what's so good about this seventeen girls of the Su family, so fierce, you may not be able to suppress it if you marry back, not to mention His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince······." Jiang Hongsheng came to Jiang Hongyu's courtyard in line with the idea of enlightening his second brother.
Seeing that his second brother was looking in the direction of the Pingguo Mansion in a daze, Jiang Hongsheng muttered about his dissatisfaction.
According to Jiang Hongsheng's words, this is just a few meetings, and his second brother is so unrelenting, if he really wants to marry back, won't the family be a mess.
He clearly remembered the terrible way the little girl who was three years younger than himself trained them, when the posture was incorrect, or when she wanted to be lazy, the whip in her hand was drawn, and now he thought about it, and he still felt afraid?
In his eyes, he was a female man at all, at a young age, he could do it like this, and he didn't blink an eye, if this really became his second sister-in-law, his life would not be easy······
It's not just Jiang Hongsheng who thinks so, the sons and daughters of the family who left books and ran away and went to the battlefield, the whip who didn't have a patriotic Su Jinyan, now that they think about it, they are still afraid for a while!
Jiang Hongyu turned his head and glared at his compatriot brother fiercely, and Jiang Hongsheng immediately shut up.
How does he feel that his second brother has also changed, the second brother who used to be cynical and often run out over the wall to play has also become the same as the little witch?
Jiang Hongsheng complained to his second brother, but he didn't notice that a maid serving tea and water in the corner was holding her breath and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
Su Jinyan didn't know that she was strict with those sons and daughters of the family when she went to the northern battlefield before, and she had the title of Little Witch, if she knew, she would probably laugh three times.
When she is willing to torture them like that, doesn't she also want them to improve their strength, otherwise they will become the enemy's sword ghost when they go to the battlefield, and now it is good, thankless······
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, it is a good day to get married, and on this day, the Su family of Pingguo Mansion hung up red silk early and laid out the red carpet.
The water-red wedding dress was worn on Su Qingyi's body, Su Qingyi sat in front of the dresser, and let the grooming grandmother from the palace paint her exquisite makeup layer by layer.
is good looking in itself, and now when he dresses up so carefully, he immediately shines brightly.
It came out of the palace, and I was surprised to see many beauties in grooming, such a posture, if it wasn't for the low background, it would definitely not be just a side concubine.
Because Su Qingyi is the righteous daughter of the fifth room, she did not go to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors when she got married, but with the support of the palace maid arranged by the palace on behalf of the king, and the dowry maid prepared by the Xie family, after bidding farewell to the grandfather Su Yao and the Du family in Tingfeng Hall, he was carried out of the Pingguo Mansion by Su Jingbin, the eldest son of the eldest house.
After Su Qingyi entered the sedan chair, the acting king took the welcoming team all the way to the second room of the Jiang family, and also welcomed Jiang Wanru into the sedan chair before returning to the palace of the king.
The palace is located in the street of the palace, on the left is the residence of the thirteenth son of the first emperor, and on the right is the residence of the great prince.
The Acting Palace's Mansion was already full of friends, and the prince was married, and the ministers of the court and the central government naturally came to the door to congratulate him.
After worshipping heaven and earth, Su Qingyi and Jiang Wanru, the two side concubines, were sent into their respective courtyards, and the happy ladies said some auspicious words before they withdrew.
Su Jinyan looked at Su Qingyi's ten-mile red makeup marriage, and his heart was full of relief, in his previous life, because of his mother, Tsing Yi made a concubine for his uncle in the big house, and then died in less than a year, and now he is alive again, and being able to marry the acting king and become the side concubine of the acting king can be regarded as his own compensation for her.
Regarding Jiang Wanru, the other side concubine of the acting king, Su Jinyan naturally inquired about it, and learned that Jiang Wanru's dowry was not as grand as the dowry they prepared for their righteous sister, so Su Jinyan was relieved.
Originally, she was worried that the righteous sister was only the righteous daughter of the Su family after all, and Jiang Wanru was the concubine of the second branch of the Jiang family, and she was the daughter of an authentic family, and she was worried that after the righteous sister entered the palace of the acting king, she would be bullied by Jiang Wanru.
Now it's okay, the marriage was given before, the righteous sister was before Jiang Wanru of the Jiang family, and then the righteous sister was rewarded by the emperor, and now the dowry of the righteous sister is twice as much as Jiang Wanru.
The acting king only married a side concubine, not a concubine, so the emperor did not come in person, but just asked people to send some congratulatory gifts.
The emperor instructed the palace people around him to send the congratulatory gift to the younger brother of the king to the palace of the king, and the back foot was invited by the old lady next to the queen mother of Jianzhang Palace.
Although he was reluctant to go to Jianzhang Palace, because of filial piety, the emperor still moved to Jianzhang Palace!
When he arrived at Jianzhang Palace, the emperor realized that he had been deceived again, and the grandmother who came to invite him said that the queen mother was no longer good, but now what he saw was the queen mother who was not bad at all.
"Is the emperor going to leave as soon as he comes?" The emperor's face sank, and he turned around and wanted to leave Jianzhang Palace, but stopped because of the Queen Mother's words.
The queen mother's appearance at the moment, where is there a terminally ill appearance, she is clearly in good spirits, and I don't know where these palace people can see that the queen mother is not good!
"The queen mother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" The emperor naturally knew that the queen mother deceived him to come, so he should have something to say, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, so he spoke directly.
People in the world don't know, in fact, the emperor and the eldest princess of Nanyang are not the biological children of the queen mother, but a palace maid next to the queen mother.
In the past, he was afraid of the mother-son relationship, and the emperor has always swallowed his anger, but since he learned that he was not the biological son of the queen mother, the dissatisfaction that the emperor had suppressed for many years suddenly broke out, so he was not merciless to the Zhang family!
Forty years ago, when the queen mother was still the first queen, because of a miscarriage injured her body, so it was difficult to conceive a child, for the sake of status, the queen mother let a palace maid around her serve the emperor instead, and then gave birth to the current emperor.
The palace maid was the son of the Zhang family, and the lives of the family were all in the hands of the queen mother, so she naturally had to swallow her anger.
Later, somehow, the emperor suddenly came to the palace maid again, and the palace maid was pregnant again, and this matter was known to the queen mother who was still the queen at the time, so she hid it from the emperor and locked the palace maid in the secret room, and announced that she was pregnant.
After the pregnancy in October, the palace girl gave birth to a daughter, and the queen mother also gave birth at that time, and then everything went naturally, and the princess of the palace girl became the queen mother.
Because of having a son and a daughter, the status of the queen mother and queen was secured, and there was no need for the palace maid to stay, so she was secretly executed······
The deceased is gone, the queen mother's family at that time was too powerful, and the in-laws were intertwined, although the emperor knew about it, he did not pursue it.
Maybe in the eyes of the former emperor, she was just a palace maid who was favored by chance, and when she died, she died, no big deal!
(Note: The former emperor did not know that the prince born to his queen was also born to the palace maid······ )
