Chapter 199: The Undercurrent of Yipingbo's Mansion
Song Yixiao had promised to help Wei Chan in her marriage earlier, and when she heard this, she said, "Where is it?" What is the appearance of talent? β
"It's from Jiannan, the surname is Cheng, the name is Chongjun, and the word is Muwei." Qiao Qin 1510 said, "As for the people, the slave didn't see it, listen to Mu Da. The grandmother's description is quite upright and fair-skinned, the only child in the family, but both parents have passed away - it is said that both parents were sick before they died, and they took medicine for many years, so the situation is not very good. β
"It doesn't matter if you're from a family!" Song Yixiao thought secretly, "Not to mention that if this person can be named on the gold list, it will be impossible to be poor for a long time; Let's just say that it is impossible for the Wei family not to marry my cousin, and I can also add some makeup for her! I can't help my cousin and her future husband! β
She was worried about Wei Chan's previous experience - but now she only knew that the Wei family was looking at Cheng Chongjun, and it was not clear what the two sides were talking about, so she didn't press all kinds of assumptions, and only asked: "What kind of palm and eye method does my aunt want me to make?" β
Qiao Qin said: "The Wei family originally planned to let the cousin come forward in two days, ask the Cheng son to eat somewhere, and ask the lady to go and observe in the dark with the Wei family's daughters. But I heard that His Majesty has been in poor health recently, and I think that my grandfather and wife may need to enter the palace to inquire about the nobles, and I am afraid that I will not have time. In a few days, it will be the period of the apricot list, and I plan to wait for the spring to pass. β
At this time, February had not yet arrived, and Song Yixiao heard that it would be more than half a month after the press, and she also felt that she would definitely be free by then, so she bowed her head and said: "Go back and pick up the beads and send them to the Wei family, and give them to my grandmother, aunt, cousin, and cousin!" β
Sent Qiaoqin to clean up the beads, Song Yixiao took the tea bowl from Jin Xun's hand and took a sip, and the subordinates who went to Yipingbo's Mansion also came back to restore their lives, saying that the Xu family was afraid of disturbing the Yanguo Mansion too much, so they specially sent a small servant to serve their own family.
The Xu family's move is very suspicious of underestimating Song Yixiao-the dignified national mansion, not the old and the young, there are many people who can't take care of things, and even the earl can't greet the prince well, isn't this the incompetence of the mastermother?
However, although Song Yixiao didn't like it in his heart, he couldn't say anything on the scene, so he just said: "Then take him to Cousin Xu's yard, and call the people in front of him to say hello!" β
He also asked someone to go to the kitchen and advise, "Porridge, hot water, and chicken soup have been prepared all night, don't be lazy, lest your husband or Cousin Xu wake up hungry in the middle of the night!" β
After these trivial matters were disposed of, Song Yixiao hurriedly ate some food, and after freshening up, he was settled.
The next morning, she woke up when she heard the movement, and saw Jian Xubai sitting on the edge of the couch dressing, glanced at the lights outside the tent, and knew that it was still early, so she couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty, is it about to go to court?" β
Even if Emperor Xianjia is diligent in government, the queen mother and concubines will discourage it, right?
"Nope." Jian Xubai turned his head when he heard this, his long eyelashes were dragged out by the light, and his eyes were as bright as stars, and explained, "It's just that I'm used to it, and I went to bed early yesterday." β
After tying his clothes while speaking, he leaned over to kiss her - Song Yixiao avoided it with disgust: "I haven't freshened up yet!" β
The two frolicked for a while, and in the end let Jian Xubai steal a few incense on the side of her cheeks, Song Yixiao hugged the pillow full of green silk, and asked about the reason why Emperor Xianjia fainted this time, "Yesterday, Aunt Jia came over and said that my mother's birthday banquet was not held." I asked Your Majesty at the time, my aunt is unknown, what is going on? β
"It's a recurrence of an old disease." Jian Xubai frowned slightly when he heard this, "I heard the emperor's grandmother say that the emperor's uncle was slandered by Shentu Guifei when he was a teenager, and in order to defend himself in the face of the saint, in the autumn and winter season, he knelt for more than four hours in the pouring rain outside the emperor's bedroom. Later, due to the obstruction of Shentu Guifei, no one in the Tai Hospital dared to treat the imperial uncle, or the aunt of Daiguo, who had not declined at that time, asked her uncle for help, found an excuse to take the imperial uncle out of the palace, found a private doctor, and prescribed medicine. β
However, "firstly, it delayed the opportunity for treatment, and secondly, the doctor's medical skills were not as good as the imperial doctor, so he fell into the root of the disease, which is also the reason why the imperial uncle often summoned the imperial physician after he ascended the throne!" β
His face was a little gloomy, "Seven years ago, the imperial uncle fainted in the imperial garden, and the time he blocked the news, it was also for this reason!" β
"And you came back yesterday and said you were fine?" Song Yixiao heard her mother-in-law say that Emperor Xianjia had a hard time before he ascended the throne, but at that time, the eldest princess was only speaking in general, so she didn't feel deeply; After listening to her husband tell specific examples, she realized that after Emperor Xianjia came to power, he killed all his half-brothers and sisters except King Yi, which was really not for nothing.
The Ninety-Five Supreme's connivance and helplessness towards the eldest princess of the Acting Country is not for nothing.
She frowned lightly and asked in a low voice, "But is it really okay?" β
ββThe poor physical condition of the emperor seven years ago directly contributed to Queen Su's collusion with the Duke of Ji Guogong to delay the war, in order to lead the troops to seize the palace after her death!
Although this news was well concealed in the palace, if it wasn't revealed in vain, Song Yixiao, who grew up in the imperial capital, would not have heard of it at all. But it can make the queen and the Duke of Ji make up their minds to take risks, obviously Emperor Xianjia was in danger at that time!
Now that the emperor's old illness has relapsed, only a short day and night have passed, and I don't know if it's true or not?
"The imperial doctor told the emperor's grandmother that it was okay, and I thought it should be true." In the vernacular, he said so, but his expression was not relaxed, "But then I need to recuperate for a few days." If nothing else, the emperor's grandmother should persuade the imperial uncle to let the crown prince preside over the government on his behalf - the acting aunt will also take the opportunity to recommend King Wei to the court to 'share the worries' for the imperial uncle! β
Song Yixiao understood what he was worried about: "The prince is so young that he may not be able to suppress Jin Suke and other old ministers!" Qiu Shuxia is now pressing step by step, without His Majesty pressing the battle above the court, the prince has the name of regent, but it is difficult to get his way! β
"There's another problem." Jian Xubai groaned, "On the night of the Lantern Festival Palace banquet, Concubine Cui Guifei beat the warm beauty in public, which angered the imperial uncle and was punished and grounded. It's nothing if it's normal, but it's a big bad thing right now! β
Emperor Xianjia has always been diligent in government, unless it is a New Year's holiday, he spends at least half a day on court politics, and the remaining half a day has to ask the queen mother for peace, check the homework of the princes and grandchildren, and summon the courtiers and clansmen...... Only then can the harem be taken care of.
But now that he has to recuperate, it is a good time for the concubines to be courteous - especially when Queen Su has accepted a stunning warm beauty under her command, this situation is simply a godsend; The acting princess can also visit the palace from time to time under the pretext of caring for her brother; Only the prince's biological mother, Cui Guifei, is still grounded!
It is true that the Queen Mother supports the East Palace, but the Queen Mother is old, and she is the mother of Emperor Xianjia.
This will make the emperor wake up, and the queen mother can't continue to stay in the emperor's bedroom all day long like the concubine, right? It is impossible to learn from the acting princess who is still in the prime of life, and run towards Xuanming Palace in three days!
In this way, King Wei and King Zhao both had someone to help talk in front of Emperor Xianjia, but the East Palace lost a city invisibly!
"Since Your Majesty is biased towards the crown prince in the court, is it possible for this to speak out and relieve Cui Guifei's grounding?" Song Yi smiled and reminded, "Although it is inconvenient for the Queen Mother to take care of Your Majesty in Xuanming Palace in person, she will definitely send someone to visit her day and night, or can she mention it to Your Majesty at that time?" β
Jian Xubai shook his head and said: "Yesterday, before we left the palace, it happened that the imperial aunt was arranging for the concubine to serve the illness, and the crown princess mentioned the concubine, but the imperial aunt said, 'Your mother was grounded because she angered your father and the emperor before, and now your father is fine, the imperial doctor repeatedly told him not to worry about his mind, what if he hears the concubine and remembers those messy things', the princess was speechless on the spot!" β
Song Yixiao was also speechless: "The queen is the queen in the end!" β
As soon as Empress Su said this, whoever goes to Emperor Xianjia and Cui Guifei will be suspected of deliberately not letting Emperor Xianjia recuperate!
Even if the Empress Dowager is willing to say it herself, the crown prince and his wife will have to stop them - because they have to prove that they absolutely have no intention of hoping that Emperor Xianjia will die early so that the East Palace can ascend the throne quickly!
"Fortunately, the imperial uncle is not a soft-eared person." Jian thought for a while and said, "But in the next court dispute, I can't count on the emperor's uncle to pull the bias, and the victory or defeat can only depend on their own means!" β
Speaking kung fu, Song Yixiao has also finished dressing, and the husband and wife have called in to serve.
After freshening up, I went to the flower hall for breakfast, asked about Xu Xi's oath, and learned that he was also up, so Jian Xubai instructed left and right: "Today is my mother's birthday, although my mother is worried about the imperial uncle and has no intention of setting up a banquet, but we still have to go to He Yihe - go and ask Cousin Xu, do you want to go with us first, or go back to Yipingbo's Mansion first?" β
The next person went to the meeting, and came back to say: "Xu Shizi wants to go with the two of them, but he entered the palace in a hurry before, and the birthday ceremony is still in Yipingbo's Mansion, so I asked if the two of you can stay less?" β
"My mother is my cousin's aunt, and she is not an outsider." Jian Xubai said, "Let's go over first, and then send someone to Yipingbo's Mansion to get it." There is no banquet today, but I went to my mother to talk! β
When this word reached Xu Xioa, he agreed.
At that moment, the three of them went out together - Jian Xubai could no longer accompany his wife in the car, but rode a horse with Xu Xio.
The two of their cousins were talking in front, and Song Yixiao was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, but Ji Su suddenly came to the window of the car halfway and asked quietly: "Madam, last night, when the curfew was about to happen, did the subordinate who went to Xu's house to get something for Xu Shizi bring back a little girl from the Xu family?" β
"Is there such a thingβwhat's wrong?" Song Yi opened his eyes with a smile and asked in some surprise.
When she mentioned this, she was a little unhappy until now!
But I heard Ji Su say: "Just now Xu Shizi told our grandfather that the backyard of the uncle's mansion is now in charge of an aunt of the uncle, and that aunt is from a humble background and does not know the etiquette, please don't worry about her!" β
Song Yixiao immediately heard the meaning inside, and said in surprise: "This aunt is also bold!" If Aunt Lu Guo is not there, Cousin Xu will not be hurt? ! β
She is not familiar with Yi Pingbo's mansion, but she only heard that Yi Pingbo was also one of the bigwigs in the court when he was the first emperor, and he was still the elder sister of Emperor Xianjia, Princess Lu, but the relationship between the husband and wife was not very good, and the eldest princess of Lu died of depression - I don't know if this is the reason, Yi Pingbo is basically in a state of leisure in this dynasty.
After the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, Yi Pingbo did not renew the strings in order to show his awe and respect for the royal family, but he also accepted several aunts.
Xie Yiren, the quasi-world's wife, has not yet passed the door, there is no serious hostess in Yipingbo's Mansion, and the backyard is temporarily held by her aunt, although it is not in accordance with the rules, it is barely an expedient measure.
But this aunt is intent on dissociating the relationship between Xu Xioan and the Yanguo Mansion, but her heart can be punished!
Ji Su chuckled when he heard this, and said, "Who said it wasn't?" It's just that now Your Majesty is good, Xu Shizi doesn't want to add more troubles to the Queen Mother's eyes, so he repeatedly asks his grandfather and wife to read it in his face, don't spread the matter! β
"Cousin Xu is really pure filial piety!" Song Yi smiled and bowed slightly through the curtain and agreed, but secretly frowned, thinking, "I don't know if Sister Xie knows about this?" If you don't know, you have to tell her quickly, and tell her to be on guard! β
- Lu Ko'er had a simple idea before, but Xie Yiren reminded her that she only knew; Now that he knows that there is a problem in Yipingbo's Mansion, how can Song Yixiao not return the favor?
