In the end, the matter of accepting people in the East Palace was still over, but Emperor Jianjia's purpose was also partially achieved: Dingxi Hou Qiu Jinglan asked to be released.

With his title and the official positions he has held, the top officials who are capped outside can be regarded as derogatory. However, since Qiu Jinglan proposed it, he had his own reasons: "I served as the general of Zhenxi, and that was a matter of the former Rui." At that time, the person who really presided over was actually Mr. Ren, not me. Seriously, I'm still too young - in the early years, there were many natural and man-made disasters, and I didn't dare to leave the center. Now that the situation is stable, I should go to the bottom to sharpen and sharpen, and if I don't go now, will I be embarrassed to wait until I am old and my legs are weak and then run around? ”

It makes sense to say this, Emperor Jianjia is very satisfied with his knowledge: "He went out to sharpen for ten years and then came back, at that time Lang'er was already an adult, and he had not been in contact with his uncle for ten years, and he was trained by me, no matter how much the princess said good things to her mother-in-law, she would not want to coax my grandson!" ”

…… failed to give his son a stopper, Emperor Jianjia took this as a condition, and now he has directly taken his grandson to Funing Palace to raise him personally.

He is determined to prevent his grandson from being cheated by outsiders in the future!

Qiu Yulan understood the father-in-law's mind after her husband's explanation, and she thought: "This is doing too many evils to the point that my heart is weak!" ”

Like Empress Dowager Gu, a mother who can even give up her own son in order to compete for power and profit, where can there be so many in this world?!

Empress Dowager Rui Xin Fubing can't do it!

Qiu Yulan thinks that she is also a normal mother - how could she go to pit her son?! What's more, Qiu Jinglan is not that kind of person!

In the final analysis, Emperor Jianjia still cheated too many relatives in the process of ascending to the throne, especially his niece as an uncle, who was particularly miserable and ruthless. Back then, I was barefoot and was not afraid to wear shoes, but now I am afraid of being barefoot when I wear shoes. So how suspicious he looked at Qiu Jinglan was because he was so insidious when he was in Qiu Jinglan's position!

However, Emperor Jianjia is both an elder and an emperor, so he can't say it too bluntly - Jiang Yashuang touched his chin and changed the topic awkwardly: "Aunt Fifth came to talk to you two days ago?" What was said? ”

"I was about to tell you!" At the mention of this, Qiu Yulan was suddenly solemn, "The fifth aunt misses Cousin Xin, especially King Lu is gone, and Cousin Xin is alone in Lu Di, it's really pitiful!" Thinking that several years have passed now, and few people continue to care about those things in Qianrui, do you want to take her back to Beijing so that she can be reunited with her family? ”

Jiang Yashuang doesn't have much contact with Xin Fubing, but because of Qiu Yulan, she doesn't have a bad impression of this cousin. Naturally, there is no opinion at this moment: "I'll go back and tell my father!" ”

Xin Fubing also has the identity of Empress Dowager Rui, and her return to Beijing will inevitably be political. Without the permission of Emperor Jianjia, Lu Di may not be willing to release people.

When it came to this Empress Dowager Rui, Jiang Yashuang thought of another person - but he promised this person back then not to mention it to anyone else, even his wife.

So when I was free the next day, I disguised myself and went to the "Mourning Villa".

In the palatial courtyard, in the most deserted corner, Jiang Yashuang saw another cousin who was also wearing a hat in the inner room: the former eldest princess of Rui Yongfu, and now Chu Weitong, who is incognito.

"What is my cousin doing again? I heard that my cousin-in-law is pregnant, and you are still busy with state affairs, so it's interesting to spend time watching me, a wasted person? Chu Weitong's tone was cold, obviously unwelcoming him.

Jiang Yashuang was not offended by her attitude, but felt distressed: "You still refuse to see Bicheng? ”

"Can I still see people like this?" Chu Weitong asked a cold rhetorical question, which made Jiang Yashuang speechless for a long time - when Emperor Jianjia directed the tragedy of killing his mother and sister and son in Ganquan Palace, he showed mercy to the innocent and not necessarily dead Princess Yongfu and did not take her life.

But for Chu Weitong, this kind of mercy is better not to stay!

Because although she survived, her face was damaged by the fire!

When Chu Weitong was intact, her appearance was comparable to that of Qiu Lulan - although this was said by her mother Jiang Tianluan, it was inevitable that she would be biased towards her daughter. But to be fair, Chu Weitong's beauty is not much worse than Qiu Weilan's. is so popular, once lost, it is already a tragedy that most people are about to collapse, not to mention that she also lost her mother who doted on her on the same day?!

Thinking about it further, her father, brother, and nephew...... How many people's deaths are related to the uncle of Jianjiadi?

She is still willing to see Jiang Yashuang now, and she is still willing to talk to this cousin, which shows that the two have grown up together and have a deep relationship.

"Bicheng already knew about your situation." Even so, Jiang Yashuang spoke cautiously, for fear that something would stimulate this cousin, and she would be as hysterical as when the accident happened - but then again, if it weren't for Chu Weitong's toss, it would still be a question whether Empress Tao would survive until she died later: Chu Weitong knew that he was disfigured, his mother was burned alive, and everything began after his uncle's calculations, and all the fierce reactions were appeased by Empress Tao.

Now that Queen Tao is gone, Chu Weitong resolutely refuses to meet with anyone other than Jiang Yashuang, in case she makes trouble again, Jiang Yashuang's identity will definitely not be able to accompany her here in person, and if she forcibly calls someone else at that time, maybe Chu Weitong will be more stimulated...... So Jiang Yashuang pondered while saying, "He is also very uncomfortable, he has been blaming himself all these years, if he can realize that something is wrong as soon as possible, he will not let you enter the palace that day!" It has been several years since this annex was given to him, but you see that he is still alone, in the end, he still remembers you and does not want to have others! ”

Chu Weitong was indifferent: "It's none of my business whether he has anyone else, I'm already dead anyway!" ”

After a pause, he sneered again, "Don't worry too much about him - he is the only son of the Duke and his wife of Minguo, how can he have no queen?" After a few years, it will naturally be full of wives and concubines! ”

"Not necessarily, I'm afraid." Jiang Yashuang was disappointed when she heard the previous sentence, but her heart was relieved when she heard the latter sentence, and she said quietly, "A few days ago, someone from the Ou family mentioned to him about the heir, and he was already discussing with the seventeenth brother-in-law to succeed his concubine. ”

Seeing that Chu Weitong didn't speak, he continued, "You also know that the seventeenth sister is jealous, and the seventeenth brother-in-law's concubine has not been doing well. So the seventeenth brother-in-law is very much in favor of this matter, and the seventeenth sister is also willing to leave in front of her, so as not to be an eyesore! ”

His seventeenth sister Jiang Qisheng, who married far away in Northern Xinjiang that year, was the wife of Ou Bicheng's cousin Ou Bikong.

However, the relationship between the husband and wife is not very good - the Ou family was born recklessly, and the family style is fierce and short-sighted, especially there are not many children in this generation, which one is a baby; Jiang Qisheng is pampered and brutal, and he is not willing to be coaxed. So after they got married, no one refused to bow their heads from the time they got married, and their relationship went on so coldly and never picked up.

When Empress Minrou was in northern Xinjiang, because she hated concubines, Ou Bikong, as the heir of the Ou family and the son-in-law of the Jiang family, was often called to her to care about her, and she didn't dare to commit crimes against the wind, so although she snubbed his wife, she didn't dare to do anything.

After Empress Minrou left the northern frontier, he lost his imminent fear, and began to recruit people - as Emperor Jianjia's iron stalk confidant, and even the nephew of the Duke of Minguo who could even deceive the eldest son and the youngest son, Ou Bikong had nothing to fear of his wife's maiden family, because everyone knew that if Emperor Jianjia was chosen, there could only be one between the Duke of Minguo and King Gui, and he would definitely choose the former!

Of course, Jiang Qisheng is now the daughter of the sect, and Emperor Jianjia has no intention of settling old accounts with King Gui, and Ou Bikong does not dare to do anything to his wife.

Therefore, it created a situation where Ou Bikong favored the concubine but did not dare to kill his wife, and Jiang Qisheng killed the concubine but could not take out the children and her husband.

However, Ou Bikong is in the prime of life after all, and he still has some ideas about the future, and it is impossible to spend all his energy on maintaining his children in the backyard.

In this case, Ou Bicheng wants to succeed his concubine as an heir, of course he will not have an opinion.

Not to mention the relationship between the two cousins, Ou Bicheng is the prince of Minguo, Ou Bikong's father died early, and he himself has not earned a knighthood yet! can find a rich and noble background for his son through his cousin, even if this son has little to do with him after that, how can he not approve?

These Chu Weitong also knew that after hearing it, he didn't say anything for a long time.

Jiang Yashuang thought for a while, feeling that she didn't immediately continue to say, "What does this have to do with me", there is still hope, and she was worried that the persecution would be self-defeating, so she changed the topic and said something else...... Sensing that Chu Weitong was clearly distracted, he became more and more sure in his heart, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, Sister Seventeen also knows that the heir of Bicheng will definitely inherit the title of Duke Minguo, and she doesn't want to let her concubine take advantage, and intends to let his own flesh and blood succeed - the seventeenth brother-in-law refuses, and the husband and wife are at a stalemate, and this matter has not yet been decided." Otherwise, Yitong changed his mind and was willing to continue to live with Bicheng, the two of them gave birth to an heir, but they already had an heir in front of them, what is the trouble! ”

Counting Chu Weitong's accident until now, it has been the sixth year, and Ou Bicheng has waited for six years, even if he is willing to continue to wait, but the youth is silently tossing in regret, which really can't help but make people feel embarrassed - Queen Tao didn't wait for the day when her granddaughter figured it out, and went with extreme regret.

Recalling the imperial grandmother's earnest entrustment before her death, Jiang Yashuang took a deep breath: Although he has not fulfilled the wish of this imperial grandmother and promoted the reconciliation of Chu Weitong and Ou Bicheng, the attitude that this cousin has always insisted on has finally begun to soften, hasn't it?

He remembered what his wife said to comfort him back then, and when he said goodbye, he also told his cousin: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, just get through it!" Of course, there is also his promise to Queen Tao, and his obligations to his cousin as a cousin, "Don't worry about those people outside, everything, there are brothers!" ”
