Chapter 57: Resistance to the Decree
When Wei Mengying fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and instructed her daughter bitterly, Cui's house, Cheng's family, who was also a mother, was full of sadness: "Pian'er, do you want the entire Cui family to end well?!" β
Three steps away, Cui Jianlian, who was wearing a cloak, did not wear a coat, only a pink narrow-sleeved shirt, holding a hairpin, and his eyes were resolute: "I said, except for Cousin Lusan, I will not marry anyone!" β
"But now the decree has been madeβ"
"Yizhi?" Cui Jianlian sneered, "Who is going to invite and who is going to marry-when I don't know?" I slapped the county lord of Qingjiang in the face at the banquet, how could she say good things to me in front of the queen mother? If you hadn't done anything, how could the Queen Mother have pointed me out to the prince as a side concubine! β
Cheng's words were stopped, and after a while, he choked up: "If Guanlun is interested in you, you should be the mother who wants to force you?" β
What's more, "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Hengshan Wangfu have fought openly and secretly for the position of the prince of the world, how many times have they fought openly and secretly these days, you don't know it!" That Wei Shi recently became pregnant again, and the king of Hengshan was overjoyed, and even the stepdaughter she brought into the palace was rewarded, even if the princess of Hengshan was an elder, she also fell behind! Such a muddy water, you said what did you go to do? β
Cui Jianlian gritted his teeth and said: "If I marry the third cousin of Lu, in the face of the prince's cousin, the son born to the slut of the Wei family is also worthy of fighting with the third cousin?!" β
"It's shameless and skinless!" Cheng bit his lower lip, and before he could persuade his daughter again, a cold drink came from outside the door, and Cui Ziyu, who was wearing court clothes, walked in slowly, his eyes were cold, and his face was calm, "Let's not say that Princess Wei can't let Lu Guanlun marry you, it's Lu Guanlun himself, how can he look down on you?" Why do you want to stuff you into the East Palace, and you don't want to think that we just don't care about you, and you can get your wish?! β
Cui Jianlian's face turned pale when he heard this-Cheng couldn't bear it: "Master! β
"Now that the wood is in the boat, you have to enter this East Palace, and you have to enter if you don't enter!" However, Cui Ziyu ignored her at all, and only looked at her daughter coldly, "You can die if you want to!" It's a good father and daughter, I will try my best to send Lu Guanlun underground to reunite with you after you die-"
"Daddy, are you crazy?!" Cui Jianlian screamed, "Cousin Lu San is your nephew!" β
Cui Ziyu sneered lightly: "The daughter I worked so hard to raise died because of that kid, why can't I find him to fight for my life?!" Nephew? How can a nephew have a daughter? β
After speaking, he didn't look at her desperate appearance, and only threw down a sentence: "Honestly dress up and go out to receive the order, and then enter the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Prince!" So if you are good, he is good and the Cui family is good, otherwise, if you are not good, he will be even worse! β
And he walked away!
Hearing the undoubted firmness in his tone, Cui saw that he was stunned for a long time, and the hairpin in his hand fell to the ground with a "ding", and the person also lost all his strength, and was paralyzed in Cheng's low voice!
β¦β¦ For such a major event as resisting the decree, the Cui family naturally covered it tightly and did not let people know about it.
Although the lieutenant who passed the decree was puzzled by Cui Jianlian's appearance after a long time, and his face was pale and unpopular, he pretended to be indifferent when he read the face of the concubine and the prince, and two land deeds were stuffed into his sleeves.
Let's talk about the Hengshan Palace-Song Yixiao listened to Wei Mengying's teachings for two hours before finding an opportunity to retire.
When the person went out of the courtyard, he was stopped by the eldest girl Lan Hui in front of the concubine, and said that the concubine was invited.
Fortunately, the concubine didn't really like her, but she just read the meaning for the sake of Yi's will.
shouted Song Yixiao to the front and back, said some polite words lightly, rewarded some things, and sent her away, but it didn't take much effort.
"Congratulations, cousin! Congratulations cousin! Only then did she return to Hanxia Xiaozhu, Wei Chan took the lead to greet her and congratulate her, her eyes were crooked with a smile, like a crescent moon, and under the overflowing joy, there was a trace of envy that was well hidden, "I heard that my cousin-in-law is both talented and beautiful, and he is a prince of the country, and his cousin is a match made in heaven!" β
"You can't hide from being lazy when you say good things!" Song Yi smiled and pinched her cheek, "The concubine's birthday gift must be rushed out, you have to give me a hand!" β
Wei Chan is the same as Jinxun, and the embroiderers are far inferior to Song Yixiao, so she can't really help her. But it's no problem to get started, especially Wei Chan is careful, after Song Yixiao asked her to help twice, even Jinxun didn't like to call - just thinking of starting here, she unexpectedly remembered Zhiqin again: "In my previous life, Zhiqin embroiderers were better than me......"
But Zhiqin, which was crippled six years ago, is now not even able to hold scissors, let alone delicate embroidery needles?
With a sigh of relief, Song Yixiao took her cousin's arm and entered the room where the embroidery frame was resting - the two cousins knew that the time was urgent, so they laughed briefly and began to do serious things.
Embroidered until the time of the palm lamp, Zhao's mother came in to urge the meal, and the two stopped.
"It's hard work cousin today!" Song Yixiao sat in the flower hall where the meal was served, let Jin Xun pinch his arm, and looked at Wei Chan, who was also full of color, apologetically, "The things sent in the past two days, my cousin can only take what he likes, don't see me!" β
Wei Chan was also not polite, and said with a smile: "Cousin Taifei He's set of mutton fat jade head noodles, I like it very much." Will my cousin think that I am a lion with a big mouth, but I want such a valuable thing when I take a hand? β
"How can a set of noodles be enough?" The concubine doesn't like Song Yixiao, Song Yixiao doesn't have a good impression of the concubine, and she is impatient to use the things given by the concubine, now Wei Chan wants it, that's the best, so she said briskly, "You also pick half of those clothes you like, where can I wear them alone?" β.
This will Wei Chan excused herself: "Two days ago, when my aunt asked someone to make summer clothes for my cousin, she also brought me the size by the way, how can I ask for my cousin's clothes again?" β
Song Yixiao wanted to persuade again, but the next person had already begun to pass the food in, so he interrupted the words of the two sisters.
After eating, Zhao's mother persuaded Song Yixiao to take a break at night: "It's still too late to calculate the time, especially now that Miss Biao is giving you a hand, why stay up late?" It hurts the eyes, and it's not good for the skin. The princess knows that she must be disgusted with the slaves and maids for not serving well! β
Wei Chan was also beside her to help, and Song Yixiao nodded after a while of silence - Wei Chan hurriedly called someone to fetch Shuanglu and wanted to play with Song Yixiao.
"I don't know how to do this, but don't ruin your interest!" Song Yi smiled and hurriedly said, "Either you call Jinxun to accompany you, she is better than me." β
She is telling the truth, no matter how good the talent is, people's energy is limited after all. She has spent most of her time on talent over the years, and she is inevitably unfamiliar with the way of play.
"Isn't this just to practice with my cousin?" Wei Chan played with the dice and said, "My cousin's sister-in-law is a master of this way." That's not all, it is said that Miss Pei made the effort to learn this only for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom! After the cousin passed the door, the concubine came and went, accompanied the eldest princess, I am afraid that there will be two rounds! β
Song Yi smiled and said in surprise: "What Miss Pei?" β
"Cousin, you don't know yet?" Wei Chan was surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood, "After you received the order, you went to your aunt and concubine successively, I don't think anyone told you?" Today, there are three edicts in the palace, all of which are marriage-the first is to the Cui Mansion, and the Miss Cui family wants to be the prince's side concubine; The second way is the palace, you and Grandpa Jane; The third Pei family is the sister of Miss Pei and Grandpa Jian, Jian Yiyu! β
He also said, "My cousin and Miss Pei don't seem to be very familiar with each other, when I went out with my mother before, I heard that Miss Pei is good at Shuanglu, and since a few years ago, I have often accompanied Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to play this!" This time she was chosen, and I am afraid that she will also be favored by the eldest princess. β
Song Yixiao thought for a while before remembering the Miss Pei she was talking about, her name seems to be Yourui, and her father Pei He is the current scholar of Hanlin Academy.
At the banquet, she was one of the girls who the county lord of Qingjiang specially pointed out for questioning.
As usual, this is not the point, the point is that her relationship with the Jian family, or her relationship with the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, is really a little different: she is the niece of Pei Ze, the second concubine of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.
Pei is Xianjia and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom in the first year of marriage, this person is said to be heroic and talented, when he was a teenager, he was a famous romantic figure in the imperial capital, otherwise he would not be favored by the eldest princess.
It's a pity that his life was short, and he fell off his horse and died in less than half a year as a colt, leaving no heirs.
Less than a year after his death, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom chose a horse again, which is the current Jian concubine, and Jian Likuang.
Although the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has long ceased to be the wife of the Pei family, she has always had a good relationship with the Pei family.
"I really don't know if you don't say it!" Song Yi smiled and said, "I really didn't have a deep relationship with Miss Pei before...... Twin Continents? Let's try a few rounds. β
Although Jian Xubai, as a national prince, does not need to live with his elders and brothers, he always has to take care of his face during the New Year's holidays, and if he can't play together at that time, he will inevitably be excluded!
Especially the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the first daughter and three sons, the lord of Qingjiang and not mentioned, the second son Shouchun Bo Dou Rouchi, his wife and children are all right, and the eldest princess regardless of whether she is in love or not, for the sake of her grandchildren, the eldest princess also has to give her some face.
The quasi-third daughter-in-law, Pei Yourui, although she has not yet passed the door, can be regarded as the eldest princess who grew up. This marriage may be the master of the eldest princess herself, and it has already hurt her mother-in-law before she enters the door.
Song Yixiao is the only one, her background is not obvious, her background is embarrassing, if she doesn't know how to please her mother-in-law, how can she not be compared to her concubine?
She was not a high-minded person in the first place, but she listened to Wei Chan's reminder and was as good as she was.
It's just that I can't help but think about what Wei Chan said about the three purposes of one day: "Cui Jianlian really entered the East Palace...... The status of the crown princess is not low! Especially since she will be the imperial concubine in the future! β
And although she has been unexpectedly married, the Duchess of the Kingdom is just a first-class fate - no matter how favored Jian Xubai is, she is not a prince after all! Besides, it's really hard to say whether he is willing to help him settle old accounts!
"What should I do?" Song Yixiao thought while playing Shuanglu with Wei Chan, "Zhiqin's hatred has dragged on for six years!" β
