Chapter 304: The Princess's Marriage
Gu Shao didn't believe Song Yixiao, and Song Yixiao actually didn't trust him either-so although Song Yixiao and Gu Tongxu had a very happy conversation that day, when they talked about the rise, Song Yixiao also gave her an invitation sticker sent by the Princess's Mansion of the Jin Kingdom two days ago.
The post was for Nie Wuying's birthday.
Nie Wuying's life experience is not easy to announce, her personality is not public, and she is even a little inferior, so in previous years, her birthday was only congratulated by her own family.
But this year is different, she and King Su have already made a marriage, even if King Su will most likely not stay in the imperial capital for a long time in the future, he will always start to manage his own connections. Therefore, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom personally spoke, and she must give her little daughter a good time this year.
In view of the narrow relationship between Nie Wuying and Sakura, after the eldest princess got the invitation sticker, she specially sent some blank ones to her daughters-in-law, so that the sister-in-law could also introduce some favors to the sister-in-law that she might use now or in the future.
Song Yixiao introduced the ins and outs of the banquet to Gu Tongxu, and reacted: "Gu Xiang's granddaughter is coming over now, maybe it's also the idea of this invitation, right?" β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom wanted Nie Wuying to get to know more people at the birthday banquet, why didn't Gu Tongxu have this need?
After all, Gu Tongxu grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and went to the imperial capital for the first time in his life, so he is not familiar with life here. Qiu Zhiyin, who she is about to marry, was not a man of the hour, her biological father Liu Zhenxi has been ambushed, and her heir father Qiu Shuxia is a loser in the battle for the throne, it would be good if such a situation could not be settled by the autumn queen, and what scenery can you hope for?
It's just that the father and son of the Qiu family still have grievances with the Yan Guogong and his wife, who are about to rise-one can imagine how difficult it will be for Gu Tongxu to integrate into the circle of nobles in the imperial capital after he leaves the cabinet?
But if she got Song Yixiao's recommendation and participated in the birthday banquet of the county lord of Jinghui before leaving the cabinet, it would undoubtedly be a good start.
"This Gu Xiang is really shrewd!" After Song Yixiao understood this, she couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of her lips, "It's a pity, now it's not a question of whether I am willing to let go of Qiu Zhiyin, but whether Qiu Zhiyin is willing to give up avenging his biological father." Gu Xiangruo only spent effort on me, but it was also in vain! β
After sending Gu Tongxu away on this day, she saw that it was still early, and she was about to order someone to go to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to tell me about her invitation to Miss Gu's family-Jin Xun was called to her, and suddenly reported in front of her: Nie Wuying is here!
"What's wrong?" Song Yixiao thought that the sister-in-law was very thoughtful and came to see herself, because the two would be close, and she was also pregnant, so she didn't go to greet her in person, but only ordered Jinxun to do it for her.
How could I think that after a while, Nie Wuying was introduced into the door by Jinxun, but she was deeply locked and sullen.
Song Yixiao suddenly swallowed the joking words that came to his lips, and said in surprise, "But Jin Xun was rude and neglected my sister?" β
"What did the fourth sister-in-law say?" Nie Wuying smiled when she heard this, and she also felt a little sad, and said angrily, "Who doesn't know that Jin Xun is the proud person in front of her sister-in-law, and she is the most stable and considerate in doing things, how could she offend me?" β
Saying that, he sighed, "It's me who is annoying myself - Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan has gone to the eldest princess's mansion to ask to see her mother!" β
Song Yixiao heard this, looked left and right, and waited for everyone to retreat before asking, "But I don't know what happened to Her Royal Highness the princess asking to see her mother?" β
Ask this question, she can actually guess eight. Nine is not far from ten.
Sure enough, Nie Wuying said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan heard that Second Prince Su will leave the capital in the near future and go to Northern Xinjiang to serve as an official, and she is very worried. It's just that I pleaded with the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor to no avail, so after thinking about it, I found a reason to leave the palace and go to ask my mother. β
If it was just such a thing, she wouldn't have been so worried that she would come over to find Song Yixiao, but she would come here because, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan said to her mother, after she left, her mother's face was extremely ugly!" I've never seen my mother look like that, I shouted several times underneath, but my mother didn't even notice! Aunt Jiayo pulled her sleeves for a while, and her mother came back to her senses! β
So she was very worried, "It's just that I asked for a while, but my mother refused to say, she just said that she was tired and asked me to retire - but I really don't feel at ease, thinking that sister-in-law, you are good friends with Miss Jiang, can you please ask Miss Jiang to persuade Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan, don't be so angry in the future?" In the end, the mother is the aunt of Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
"Is there such a thing? How is that mother now? Song Yixiao was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want me to go over and have a look?" β
Nie Wuying shook her head and said, "My mother only asked the imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse yesterday, although I was sad, but it didn't hurt for me to look at it." But I was hurt by Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan! β
Song Yixiao thought to herself that this matter is to find Jiang Muyao, I'm afraid there is no way, Princess Yushan was for Su Shaoge, but her father Emperor Xianjia was stunned, then the queen mother, the queen, and the virtuous concubine can be said to be coaxed in turns, she has to be willing to listen, and she will not find her aunt this time!
Those few people want to have an identity and a generation, and it doesn't work to say that it doesn't work, even if Jiang Muyao has a good relationship with Princess Yushan, in the end she is just a cousin of the same generation, but what can she do?
However, the sister-in-law came to ask for help in person, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has always been a good mother-in-law, Song Yixiao didn't care about it, and said after a while: "I'll hand over a post to Sister Jiang later, and ask her to come over and talk about it." β
Nie Wuying hurriedly thanked her, and asked about her sister-in-law's recent situation with concern - the two sisters-in-law chatted for a while, she was thinking about the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, although it was almost faint, she still refused to keep her sister-in-law's meal and insisted on leaving.
Not long after she left, Jian Xubai also dispersed.
Listening to his wife talk about today's two visitors, Jian Xubai was not interested in Gu Tongxu's coming, but was quite surprised by what Nie Wuying said: "Yushan is too nonsense, my mother has never asked about the government, let alone the current Su family?" Concubine Xian doesn't care about her! β
"It is said that Her Royal Highness the princess has found other reasons to leave the palace, but I am afraid that Concubine Xian Niangniang will not know that she is going to find her mother?" Song Yixiao reminded, "When Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan injured the third brother earlier, didn't Concubine Xian Niangniang apologize and even kneel down to her mother to plead? If you know the princess's plan, how can she let it go? β
Speaking of the virtuous concubine, the princess who worked hard to raise the prince, in order to win the prince, not only disregarded the grace of parenting and defected to the princess of the country, but also abandoned her nieces and nephews; The only biological daughter is not a worry-free - one of the four concubines, she was stunned by two children who were brought up by her own hands.
"After all, it's spoiled." Jian Xubai groaned, "Miss Jiang is here tomorrow, you ask her to tell Yushan, if Su Zhiyong leaves the imperial capital, there may be a day to return to the dynasty, if she stays, then the future is uncertain." If it weren't for the face of the emperor's aunt, the emperor's uncle would not have given him this opportunity to avoid the limelight! If Yushan really likes Su Zhiyong, it's better to have a little heart! Don't just care about your child's temper, but do all the things that trick people! β
But before Song Yixiao could answer, he said again, "Forget it, since she first asked the imperial grandmother to make trouble with the imperial uncle, how could the imperial grandmother and the imperial uncle not tell her this truth?" I guess she didn't listen. Since you have already handed over the post to Miss Jiang, let Miss Jiang try it! If you really can't do it, you don't have to worry too much, although the imperial uncle is a loving father, she won't let Yushan be too nonsense in this matter, and she will find an excuse to go out of the palace to disturb her mother next time, but it's not so easy. β
Song Yi smiled and said, "Then I'll tell Sister Jiang like this tomorrow." β
Just as he was saying this, the subordinate who went to Jiang's house to deliver the message also came back, saying that Jiang Muyao had promised to visit him the next day.
But the next day, Song Yixiao had already ordered someone to prepare Jiang Muyao's favorite tea and pastries, but she couldn't see anyone left and right-until it was almost noon, and the Jiang family sent a maid to make amends for her: "Something happened in the house suddenly, my young lady can't come today, and I have to come tomorrow to ask for the guilt, Mrs. Wanwang Haihan!" β
With Song Yixiao's friendship with Jiang Muyao, it is not a big deal to miss an appointment once in a while, but she is very puzzled: "I don't know what happened to your mansion?" β
But the maid avoided mentioning it: "The slave and maid don't know either." β
Seeing this, Song Yixiao didn't ask any more questions, and after saying that she didn't mind, she sent her away.
After the maid retreated, she ordered Jin Xun to go to the front yard to inquire, and there was a rumor about the Jiang family's accident outside-Jin Xun went once, and came back to say: "I only know that early this morning, the palace sent someone to the Jiang family, and it seems to be the person of the virtuous concubine." But the man left not long after entering the Jiang Mansion, and no one knew what he said. β
Song Yixiao felt that this matter must have something to do with Princess Yushan's actions yesterday, but she didn't know what Concubine Xian was going to do.
Fortunately, Jiang Muyao didn't miss the appointment the next day, and arrived at the Yanguo Mansion at the time when Jian Xubai was on a bad day, and after the two met each other, she naturally apologized first: "I promised to come over yesterday, but I packed up and prepared to go out, but I caught up with something!" β
Song Yixiao didn't want to reveal what happened yesterday, so she didn't ask directly, but only asked, "Is it all solved?" Otherwise, I'm not in a hurry here, you take care of your family first. β
"It's not solved, it's just that this matter can't be solved by me." Jiang Muyao didn't mean to hide it, and after hinting that she waved back left and right, she confessed, "My aunt plans to descend Yushan to my third brother - my mother was anxious when she heard the news, but my father asked to be released for my sake before, but now that she is not in the imperial capital, there is no one in the family who is determined to do anything, so it is a little messy, because I can't go away." β
"Your third brother?" Song Yixiao suddenly remembered that at the Shangshi Festival last year, when Jiang Muyao and Wei Yinlian both wanted to introduce their brothers to themselves, Wei Yinlian revealed that Jiang Muyao's third brother "There are already several people in the room", of course, this does not mean that Jiang Sangongzi is not a good thing, after all, the current atmosphere is like this.
People like Jian Xubai, Lu Guanlun, and Yuan Xuepei, who had no one around before they got married, were very few special cases.
What's more, Jiang Muyao also refuted that "I will send it out before I get married" - according to the view at the moment, this belongs to a family with rules.
The problem is, Princess Yushan has something to remember about Su Shaoge, Jiang Muyao knows, so will the Jiang family not know?!
Song Yixiao couldn't help but be speechless when she thought of this, "How could Concubine Xian Niangniang arrange it like this?" β
Although it is not very smooth for Concubine Jiang Xian to choose a horse for Princess Yushan in Cuihua Mountain, she doesn't bring such a nephew, right?
Jiang Muyao said helplessly: "My aunt can't help it, after all, you also know Yushan's temperament." If it descends to someone else's house, how can you say it will be able to hold her down? When the time comes, I don't know what will happen to her - my aunt thinks that the Jiang family is Yushan's foreign family, and my father and mother grew up watching Yushan, and Yushan usually respects them, so she should be able to control her a little, right? β
- After all, Princess Yushan had revealed the idea of learning from Princess Changxing and snatching her sweetheart before, in case she would learn from the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom in the future, and continue to fight her sweetheart after she fell, wouldn't she lose her royal face?
Su Shaoge's fiancΓ©e, the little county lord of Yiwang, is the cousin of Princess Yushan!
It's the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who is famous for her love of men, and she has never beaten the idea of the handsome and dashing Fuyang Marquis-now Fuyangbo!
What's more, Princess Yushan and the crown prince are not the same mother, even if the prince loves his younger siblings, he will definitely not be able to compare with Emperor Xianjia to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom in the future; Even if it can be compared, the prince's control over the court is far inferior to Emperor Xianjia, Princess Yushan really made a big scandal, and the prince just wanted to protect her, most of them were powerless.
Therefore, Concubine Jiang Xian could only hit her mother's head with her idea, and wanted to restrain her daughter through her relatives.
However, although Song Yixiao understands Concubine Jiang Xian's mother's heart, she doesn't think it's a good way: "But being a niece is different from being a daughter-in-law, not to mention that Her Royal Highness Princess Yushan must build a mansion alone after her fall, and she will rarely live with her in-laws at that time." β
Since they don't live together, can Jiang Yin and his wife still run to the princess's mansion all day long to criticize their niece and daughter-in-law?
And Jiang Sangongzi is only the cousin of Princess Yushan, even if the princess respects her elders, he is not in this category - not to mention that Song Yixiao is very skeptical about whether Princess Yushan really respects her elders, after all, the queen mother and the emperor, the virtuous concubine, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom are also the elders of the princess, aren't they?
"Isn't it?" Jiang Muyao sighed, "Yesterday, I discussed at home until midnight, and finally decided to write a letter to my father and let my father decideββ"
Speaking of this, I remembered something, "Two days ago, Miss Gu arrived in the imperial capital, it seems that she came to visit you first?" β
"That's right." Song Yi smiled, "What's wrong?" β
"She lives in Song Mansion now." Jiang Muyao's tone was a little strange and said, "It is said that Mrs. Pang was grateful for Gu Xiang's care to Lord Song, thinking that the Gu family now has no other female dependents in the imperial capital, so she specially took her to live." β
