Chapter 609: To Each His Own Needs
Pei Yourui's matter can be decided, Jiang Muyao suddenly came to the door, and Ai Ai smiled with Song Yi and talked about the eldest princess of Yushan: "Do you think it is possible for her to be with Su Ergongzi?" β
Song Yi smiled and said in surprise: "How can I say this for sure?" What's more, the second son of Su has not yet been filial to his father, even if Tofu Jun comes forward, it would be too rude to tell him this. β
"Of course it's rude to tell Second Prince Su directly, but the Queen Mother is the second son of Su's aunt." Jiang Muyao said a little unnaturally, "You have a good relationship with Queen Nie, can you help ask the queen to come forward and mediate to see if there is any hope?" β
When these words came out, Song Yixiao didn't speak, Jiang Muyao sighed dejectedly, "Forget it, because of the matter of Wei's mother and son, the Queen Mother has not had a good face for Your Majesty during this time, let alone the queen?" β
There is no need for Song Yi to ask with a smile, she told the story herself, "Two days ago, Yushan's birthday, because of the affairs of the Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, this year she didn't even make a big deal on the Holy Birthday Festival, and it was even more impossible for her to be an eldest princess." So only the queen mother gave the table and noodles, and the emperor and queen each had a reward, so I didn't call you. This time I entered the palace and saw that Yushan was haggard a lot, and my aunt said that she still couldn't forget the second son of Su - when I retired, Yushan sent me, crying all the way from the side hall of Huiyi Palace to the gate of the palace, saying that I was really pleased with the second son of Su, and I couldn't bear to ......"
"Didn't Concubine Jiang go directly to the Queen Mother or the Empress?" The ninth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the eldest princess of Yushan, Song Yixiao naturally remembered this, although people did not enter the palace to congratulate, the gift was delivered. Counting Song Yixiao, she also belongs to the noble lady who is more familiar with the palace, so she naturally understands that the relationship between Concubine Jiang and Empress Dowager Su is still okay, the eldest princess of Yushan is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she has been infatuated with Su Shaoge for many years, Concubine Jiang may not have the face to intercede with her daughter in person - why ask Jiang Muyao to mediate from herself?
Jiang Muyao smiled bitterly: "My aunt begged the Queen Mother at the end of last year, but after the Queen Mother mentioned this to Second Prince Su, Second Prince Su never gave her a word. β
She pursed her lips, "No, Yushan now wants to ask His Majesty for help and personally test the mind of Second Prince Su - but you also know that due to the matter of Wei's mother and son, the Queen Mother has been annoyed by Your Majesty these days, and it is impossible to take the initiative to summon Your Majesty for the sake of Yushan's affairs." My aunt is just the concubine of the first emperor, and now in terms of name, it is the side room of His Majesty's uncle, why do you think you can rashly invite Your Majesty to the side hall to speak? There is no rule for concubines to go to Xuanming Palace in this dynasty. β
This is the gap between the main palace and the side room, even if the Empress Dowager Su is not the biological mother of Emperor Sutai, for the fact that she is the main room of Emperor Xianjia, she is also a serious elder of Emperor Sutai, and she has the right to call Emperor Sutai around.
But Concubine Jiang couldn't do this - I thought that when I was raised under the knees of the Empress Dowager, when I was a child, except for the Weiyang Palace where the Empress Dowager Su, a serious imperial aunt, was located, the other concubines in the harem, even if they were old enough to be his mother. 's concubine's residence, he has never set foot in the slightest.
Therefore, even if Concubine Jiang had the heart to ask Emperor Su Tai for her daughter, after losing the channel of Empress Dowager Su, she was helpless, and she couldn't help but make up her mind from her niece and take the road outside the palace.
Jiang Muyao and Song Yixiao have also been friends for many years, and since they have already poured beans from the bamboo tube at this moment, they don't care to make it clear, "Originally, my aunt could also send someone to Weiyang Palace privately to ask for help from Queen Nie." However, my aunt didn't have much friendship with Empress Nie; Second, Queen Nie's temperament, although my aunt has always been in the deep palace, she has also heard of it. So I'm worried that she will refuse, when the time comes, my aunt will have no face and a small matter, and she will leak the news and go out, which will ruin Yushan's reputation, but tell Yushan to be a person in the future? β
Song Yi smiled when she heard this, and couldn't help but defend Nie Wuying: "Although the queen doesn't have any thoughts, according to my understanding of her, she is not such an unreasonable person. β
"After all, you still have a bigger face." Jiang Muyao hurriedly said, "If you don't feel embarrassed, don't you...... Help Yushan once? β
Song Yi smiled and stroked her lower abdomen: "When I go out now, I have to have the permission of my grandmother to do it-you know, there have been too many things in the past few months, Aunt Yun frowned several times, and repeatedly told me to recuperate, although the past two days have been much better, I am afraid that my grandmother is still not at ease." β
"Always put your body first." Jiang Muyao said with concern when she heard this, "How are you doing?" I knew you wouldn't be able to bother, so I wouldn't bother you today! Don't worry about this, although Yushan is thinking about Su Shaoge, but in the past few years, everyone can see that they are shallow, but don't bother you because of this! β
The two then talked about Song Yixiao's pregnancy, and seeing that the time was not early, Jiang Muyao also offered to leave.
The bell accompanied Song Yi to the second gate to send off the guests, the master and servant returned to the back hall, the bell handed over the warm rose dew, and said curiously: "Although the slave maid has not seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan much, but I remember in a trance that Her Royal Highness is also a beauty, and she is so concerned about the second son of Su, I really don't know what the second son of Su has been unmoved?" β
"If Second Prince Su really didn't want to get involved in this family business, he would have refused as early as when Concubine Jiang asked the Empress Dowager to test his intentions!" Song Yixiao took a sip of rose dew, but said lightly, "Where can Concubine Jiang's mother and daughter have hope until now?" β
Bell was surprised when he heard this: "Madame means that Second Prince Su actually intends to be the master?" But why did the Queen Mother come forward in person, but he refused to give permission? The Queen Mother is his aunt! What else is there to say to my aunt? β
What's more, Su Shaoge is a man, and he doesn't need to take a shelf like a woman at all - besides, the government and the opposition have long known that the eldest princess of Yushan is infatuated with him, even if he wants to take a shelf, after so many years, this shelf is enough, okay?
Since he has the intention of agreeing to this family business, why is he still vague so far? It's not a husband, is it?
Bell is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a man who is good-looking, but Su Shaoge has always given the world the impression that he is not the kind of bastard who plays with girls' feelings, especially the feelings of the eldest princess, why is he here?
- Could it be that this second son is shy? Thinking of this, the bell inexplicably wanted to laugh.
"The Queen Mother is full of love for Second Prince Su, and she must have been moved by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan, so she personally told Second Prince Su about this matter for Her Royal Highness." Song Yixiao chuckled lightly and said, "But if you think about it, if Second Prince Su nodded at that time...... What will Your Majesty do if he finds out? β
"Your Majesty's words ......" Bell pondered for a moment and hesitated, "Madame is saying that Your Majesty will object to this family business?" β
She felt that it was unlikely, when Emperor Xianjia was there before, the reason why he resolutely opposed the descent of his daughter to Su Shaoge was mainly because he decided to set up an eldest son early on, and he was destined to suppress the Su family - and even not give the Su family a good end, so if Su Shaoge made a horse for the eldest princess of Yushan, wouldn't he also suffer from the pond fish?
When Emperor Xianjia calculated the family lords, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and his half-brothers and sisters, although he was ruthless, he always loved his children.
Especially his daughter is less than his son, there are only two princesses, even if the eldest princess of Yushan is not from the middle palace, how can she not look at the baby?
Since this former emperor has no good intentions towards Su Shaoge, of course it is impossible to marry his own daughter to him!
But the current Emperor Su Tai is Su Shaoge's cousin, and he has also been taught by Su Shaoge - he just doesn't want the Su family to be too big, and he won't be like the first emperor, so he won't let his cousin still be the master, right?
After all, the eldest princess of Yushan can't threaten Emperor Sutai at all, saying that the eldest princess can have as much dignity and power in the future, then it's not Emperor Sutai who has the final say?
Why did Emperor Sutai have to stop Sister Shu from being with his cousin?
However, the bell knew that Song Yi was smiling at the city's deepness, since he said so, most of the reason was in it because he couldn't guess?
Just thinking like this, who expected Song Yi to smile but snorted coldly and said, "How can Your Majesty oppose this marriage!" Your Majesty wishes this marriage was about the same! β
Bell was stunned and said, "That?!" β
She really can't figure it out!
"This is a very simple truth: if the second prince Su agreed to this family affair in front of the queen mother, and then His Majesty also agreed, then he has to be grateful to the royal family and is willing to give him the eldest princess." Song Yi sneered, "But now he has always refused to express his position, but he also does not refuse, Concubine Jiang for the sake of her daughter, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan has to beg Your Majesty for his concern for him - at this time, it is Your Majesty who persuades and coaxes the second son of Su to be the master!" Do you think it can be the same? β
She squinted her eyes slightly, and said lightly, "The former is that Your Majesty took the opportunity to repay part of the Su family's affection, but the latter is that Your Majesty owes the Su family a few points...... How shrewd is Su Ergongzi, how could he suffer such a loss?! β
The bell suddenly suddenly said, and couldn't help but say: "But if you do this, where will you put the face of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan?" Second Prince Su doesn't pity His Royal Highness too much! β
It's not that she doesn't know that Su Shaoge is a calculating person, but as a woman, she always feels that a man is deep in the city, and even a woman who has been happy with her for many years is really ungraceful.
"Children of the family, naturally everything must give priority to the family." Song Yixiao felt that it was not strange for Su Shaoge to do this, "What's more, the Su family's kindness to His Majesty's support and assistance was not given by the second son of Su alone, how could he let the entire Su family suffer losses because of his marriage?" β
"Besides, do you think Sister Jiang came to invite me into the palace to beg the queen, who came up with this idea?"
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan is so simple that sex. Son, you may not be able to come up with this curve to save the country - I don't think it's Concubine Jiang's idea, or the Jiang family's plan! β
"Under the banner of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Chengquan Yushan, I owe Your Majesty a favor, so it is natural to be close to Your Majesty!"
"This is a conspiracy, each takes what he needs: Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan gets the coveted horse; Su Ergongzi not only solved his life's major events, but also did not harm the interests of the family; The Jiang family has the opportunity to become His Majesty's henchmen - the former dynasty and the harem, these people who can make a name for themselves should not be underestimated! β
"But I hope that after this second prince is still the master, he can be kind to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" Bell has been with Wei Mengying for many years, and she is definitely not an innocent person, but at this moment, she can't help but feel a little compassion for the eldest princess of Yushan, after all, as the eldest princess of Yushan, she has been obsessed with a man for many years, and finally the family finally decided to marry her, but she has not forgotten to use this matter to consider the family - this kind of truth is simply realistic and frustrating.
She asked a little wistfully, "Then the lady will enter the palace and tell the queen about this?" β
"Of course." Song Yi smiled and said, "The consensual thing is not harmful to our Yanguo Mansion, why not do it?" β
What she just said about taking what she needs, in fact, she didn't mention the harvest of the Yanguo Mansion - the Yanguo Mansion threaded the needle from it, whether it was the mother and daughter of the eldest princess of Yushan, the Jiang family, Jiang Muyao, the emperor, Su Shaoge...... I also owe the Yanguo Mansion a favor!
Especially Nie Wuying, is it true that Concubine Jiang is afraid that if she goes directly to beg her directly, she will be rejected and unable to get off the stage because she heard that this queen is simple-minded?
In Song Yixiao's opinion, this is just an excuse - Concubine Jiang actually deliberately pushed this matter to the Yanguo Mansion.
The reason is very simple, Concubine Jiang can't help Nie Wuying with anything, but Song Yixiao is different.
So if Concubine Jiang went directly to Nie Wuying, even if Nie Wuying helped her do something, Concubine Jiang could only thank her, or give her something-these were insignificant things for Nie Wuying.
However, Song Yixiao, the lady of Yan Guo, is not, Yan Guogong is as simple as the sun is in the middle of the day, and Queen Nie, who is from an embarrassing background and has no city government, needs the support of Yan Guogong very much.
So for Nie Wuying, it was better for Song Yixiao to beg her than for Concubine Jiang and the eldest princess of Yushan to beg her together.
And this matter is also good for Song Yixiao, no matter how you say it, Nie Wuying is the queen and the master of the middle palace, Song Yixiao, as the lady of the country, can influence the queen, of course, this is a very shameful thing.
"I don't know whose idea it was?" Song Yixiao said secretly in his heart, "It's really calculated in all aspects, and all the people who are calculated are happy to see it come true-Concubine Jiang, or the Jiang family, is there really such a talent?" β
She thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of Jiang Muyao's husband Yuan Xuepei, the Marquis of Boling who had just recovered his original identity like herselfβalthough he has been claiming to be recuperating on the couch recently, recuperating from old diseases, but it is no problem to come up with an idea for his wife's maiden family?
"It's no wonder that Sister Pei wants to stay away from the imperial capital, surrounded by such thoughtful characters, how dare she interact with them from time to time if she doesn't have a few heart-to-heart eyes?" Song Yi smiled at this and pursed the corners of his lips.
Just as he was about to speak, the bell said again: "In that case, why did you refuse when Madame Jiang begged you?" β
"Who told you that I was politely refusing to say that?" Song Yi smiled and said, "You're really getting more and more confusedβ"
The voice was low, "In the past, there were only two people in this mansion, my husband and me, and I made my own ideas about this kind of thing!" But you think, even if my father is still in Liaozhou to keep filial piety, my grandmother will live in the house! Serious elders are here, how can you not tell your elders when you go in and out? Even if she doesn't care about these red tapes, we as juniors can't be pampered and arrogant because of this, it's too presumptuous! This matter of entering the palace naturally has to ask my grandmother for approval! β
She thought to herself that Princess Chengyang didn't care about red tape - it's strange!
That's the last generation of Jinxiutang's daughters, and the most typical feature of the big family is how good the rules are?
Although Song Yixiao said that he was born in Jiangnantang, he didn't know anything about the rules of the family's gate valve, but just looking at the two concubines of Princess Chengyang, Lu Heyu and Lu Heai, in front of her grandmother, you can know the preferences of this grandmother!
Even if Princess Chengyang is not a person who has to behave in front of her and dare not come out of the atmosphere, she will definitely not hate the juniors for paying attention to her and respecting her - in fact, she doesn't want the juniors to pay attention to people who respect herself, really, very, rare.
Sure enough, half an hour later, news came from Guansong Xiaozhu, saying that Princess Chengyang had finished her lunch nap.
Song Yixiao took people over to ask for peace, and by the way, she told Jiang Muyao what she wanted, Princess Chengyang listened to it, and showed a smile that was not a smile, obviously seeing through her mind at a glance that she was just here to go through the motions, but she didn't point it out, but hooked the corners of her mouth again, Fang chuckled and said: "Go back and call Aunt Yun to show you, if she says you can go out, I won't stop you - for the New Year, if you can promote a marriage, it will be a celebration!" β
Princess Chengyang really didn't want to interfere with Song Yixiao's power, but her granddaughter-in-law knew how to respect her, and she was happy to accept it.
With her permission here, Song Yixiao entered the palace the next day.
It is easier and more convenient for her to enter the palace now than when Emperor Xianjia was there, because at that time, she mainly relied on the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and her simple face to enter and exit the palace.
Now it is the privilege given to her by Nie Wuying, the lord of the Six Palaces, - inside and out, she knows that Emperor Sutai loves the queen, and the queen respects Mrs. Yanguo very much, and she dare not slack off on her, and almost shush all the way to Weiyang Palace.
Song Yixiao was still talking about things on the road, but before she entered the Changle Palace, Nie Wuying welcomed her into the inner room, and after she was sent back, she frowned and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, Your Majesty told me yesterday that there are people in the palace!" β
