Chapter Ninety-One: The Omen of the Struggle for Reserve
Finally got this little ancestor away-Chang took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Let you laugh, my sister-in-law is young and ignorant, and she has always been open-mouthed, don't be like her!" β
"She's uncomfortable, I know." Song Yixiao didn't bother with this empty clothes, shook his head and said, "It's just that people can't be resurrected after death, and I hope your family will mourn!" β
"You're magnanimous!" Chang Shi fiddled with the veil in embarrassment, and Fang continued to lead her into the mourning hall, "The elders in the family have been lacking for the past two days, and they can't care about disciplining her. In two days' time, I will take her to plead with you. β
Song Yixiao said again that she didn't care--but she was not familiar with the rest of the Sikong family, and Sikong Yihan made such a fuss again, so after the incense, she really couldn't stay, and after a polite meeting with the Chang family, she left.
When I went out, I happened to meet the maid Lu Yi in front of Xie Yiren who got down from the carriage, saw Song Yi smiling, and was busy: "Hello Grandma Song!" β
"No need to be polite!" Song Yi smiled and waved her hand, and asked with a pleasant face, "Are you from Sister Metabolization?" Is Lai Guogong better? β
The day before yesterday, there was a banquet in the East Palace, and Xie Yiren was also invited, but unfortunately her grandfather Lai Guogong contracted a cold, and Xie Yiren had to serve his grandfather as soon as he came; Second, he was afraid of bringing his illness to the East Palace, so he sued and did not attend the banquet. This Song Yixiao ran into Xie Yiren's maid, and he wanted to ask.
"If you go back to grandma, my old lady's cough is not good, and the young lady can't get out, so I send a slave and maid to pay tribute to me." After Lu Yi answered, he asked her about her current situation, and said, "Miss has always been worried about grandma, and if she knew that the slave maid met you, she would definitely ask carefully." β
Song Yi smiled and praised her for being thoughtful, asked Jinxun to reward her with a purse, and then put down the curtain of the carriage.
After leaving Sikong Mansion, Jin Xun said: "Miss Sikong is such a polite and considerate person, how can she have such a sister?" I can't complain that Miss Xie wants to take care of Lai Guogong, so she doesn't come to mourn in person. β
"That's a deep sisterhood!" Song Yi smiled and frowned, "Besides, Sister Xie's side is also for a reason, how clear are you about the situation in the Laiguo Mansion, as if you saw with your own eyes that she deliberately did not go to mourn in person, who taught you to be so mean?" β
However, scolding Jinxun is scolding Jinxun, Song Yixiao is actually sighing again and again in his heart, "Sikong Yihan is still so dissatisfied with me, and I am afraid that I hate Sister Wei to the core!" No matter how this matter ends in the end, there must be a mustard between the two families - if Sister Sikong is good, how good would it be? β
She returned to the Yanguo Mansion listlessly, changed her clothes and came out, and when she saw Qiao Qin waiting at the bottom with a respectful face, she asked, "What's the matter?" β
"What you said last time, the slave maid just got some news, so I came to report it." Qiao Qin said as he looked at the people around him.
Seeing this, Song Yi smiled and waved his hand to let everyone except Jinxun go down.
Qiao Qin came up and said: "A few days ago, when Lan Hui in front of the concubine went out, she ran into the dowry of Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess, and the two talked for a long time before breaking up. Two days later, the concubine handed over a post asking to see the Queen Mother. β
After the audience, "the concubine returned to the palace, summoned the princess Niangniang to her, waved away the idlers, and even Lan Hui was not present, I don't know what to say." I only know that when the princess retired, her face was very strange, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy. β
Song Yi smiled and thought while listening, and the snow-like fingers kept rubbing on the porcelain wall of ruby red begonia flowers, and said for a while: "You have been serving your mother for a few years, in your opinion, what will make her feel happy and unhappy?" β
"The slave is stupid, and I really can't guess the princess's thoughts." Qiao Qin hesitated for a moment, and said, "But, the slave maid feels that whether it is the concubine or Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess, I am afraid that ...... None of them can alienate the princess from you. β
The concubine is definitely not going to say it, she wants to suppress her stepdaughter-in-law, and now the princess of Hengshan is not surnamed Wei.
As for the acting princess - if she is afraid of this, Wei Mengying can't have anything to do with Song Yixiao, after all, Song Yixiao's mother-in-law, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, is the only person who can control the acting princess except for the queen mother!
Since these two will not be the reason for Wei Mengying's great change in attitude towards her daughter and son-in-law, then ...... The answer is imminent.
- The Queen Mother.
Song Yixiao recalled yesterday's visit: "Although the Queen Mother was kind, after listening to her mother-in-law say that her mother gave birth, instead of caring and rewarding, she said lightly 'I don't know yet' and brought it over." Then he talked about Lu Guanlun's marriage and was very concerned about it - how obvious is this attitude? β
She was not very surprised by this situation, "When he said what he wanted from his wife, he mentioned that his family background was not too good. He was raised by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother naturally turned to him. The achievements of my half-brother, although I cannot be regarded as a prominent background, can be regarded as the power of my mother's family. For the sake of simplicity, the Queen Mother will also choose Lu Guanlun! β
In her selfish heart, she has always disapproved of Lu Guanyun being the son of the world, and when she thinks of this section, she breathes a sigh of relief.
Just after careful consideration, I still felt puzzled, "If it is really the Queen Mother who supports Lu Sangongzi to be the prince, not Yun'er, and exerts pressure on the mother through the concubine, how can the mother have a strange face?" Even if the Queen Mother didn't dare to show her anger, how could she be a big disappointment, right? β
What's more, she was indifferent to her daughter and son-in-law at this eye joint, "Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will know, thinking that she is dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's order and angering the Queen Mother's grandson and granddaughter-in-law?" β
Song Yixiao thought that there must be something inside here, but the news that Qiaoqin heard was limited, so he could only speculate here.
She decided to go back and talk to Jian Xubai to see if he had any suggestions.
"That's beforehand, let me know if there's any progress." Song Yi took a sip of tea with a smile and talked about the replacement in the house, "My mother-in-law has added a new industry, and the manpower is too busy, so I have ordered the chief steward to select a batch from our house and send it over." But in this way, we ourselves will also lack people to call, you see that among the people I marry, there are suitable people to serve in the backyard, draw up a list for me to see! β
After explaining this, the next person came in with a few pots of golden chrysanthemums, saying that they were sent by the Song family: "The person who came said that next month is the birthday of the old lady of the in-laws, and the grandmother of the in-laws is decorating the courtyard. β
"Grandmother's birthday?" Song Yixiao was reminded and told left and right, "Draw up another gift list!" β
glanced at the pots of chrysanthemums, and said, "Take some of the bird's nest that the Queen Mother rewarded last time, add some little girls' toys, and send them to the Song family." β
Stepmother Lu was determined to contact her, Song Yixiao couldn't avoid it, and she could only cooperate, but the estrangement between her and the Song family was definitely not something that Xiaoen Xiaohui could make up. So although he refused to be rude on the scene, he was very tired in his heart.
On this day, Jian Xubai returned to the backyard and saw a pot of golden chrysanthemums that she specially placed in the room, and asked about the calendar, Song Yi smiled and said: "My stepmother sent it, it's really difficult for her, pregnant to organize the birthday banquet for my grandmother, and I have to care about the lack of seasonal flowers here." β
"You don't like the Song family to disturb, don't you just go back and hint at your father?" Jian Xubai took off his robe and said, "I have heard of your father's temperament, if I know that you don't like the things sent by your stepmother, I will definitely not let her send them again." β
"Where can I see him?" Song Yixiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "For my grandmother to live a long life, I can't go back to the Song family at all." Although it is feasible to stop people on the road, you don't know how my father treats me, in case he thinks I am disrespectful to my stepmother, in public, maybe I can't get off the stage! β
Jian Xubai hung the robe on the hanger, pulled up the sleeves of the middle coat, lifted the curtain into the tent, looked at his wife who took the lead in the couch, and seemed to smile: "I said, what are you doing to bring a pot of chrysanthemums to the inner room?" Co-authoring expects me to be a wicked person for you? β
Song Yi smiled and said, "My father looks at me again, how dare he show you his face?" β
"It's not that hard." Jian Xubai leaned over and patted the edge of the couch, his bright red thin lips were slightly hooked, the candle flame not far away shone on his face, in the warm halo, his face was like jade, and his phoenix eyes were as bright as stars without any emotion, but the original handsome silhouette was dyed with a touch of coldness.
The tone was pleasant and harsh, "But what can I do to help you?" β
"If you don't help, forget it." Song Yi smiled when she heard this, immediately accepted the look of anticipation, and said lightly, "Let's get down to business: Aunt Daiguo contacted the concubine before, and then the concubine asked to see the queen mother...... I'm thinking, this is the same as going back to Hengshan Wangfu and refusing to keep us for dinner, isn't it, what's involved? β
She turned her face like a book, one moment she was smiling brightly, and the next moment she was solemn - Jane was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and her face was not very good-looking, and then she said lazily: "If this is the case, it is most likely that Aunt Daiguo wants to win over the Hengshan Mansion for King Wei." However, the king of Hengshan has never been involved in the dispute between the princes, and his aunt is about to be disappointed. β
"So, my mother's previous coldness was also afraid of being involved in the turmoil of the dispute?" Song Yi smiled and muttered secretly, "Jian Xubai is from the prince's sideβ"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask: "When I thanked him last time, I saw that His Majesty loved the prince very much, and it has only been a few days, right?" "Could it be that the prince has lost his sacred heart and his position is unstable?
"When the crown prince was four years old, he was taken by his imperial uncle and raised by himself. The love between father and son can be imagined! Jian Xubai said casually, "It's just that Aunt Daiguo humiliated Cui Guifei in her early years, and she has not reconciled so far, so she naturally has to worry about the future." Partial aunt that sex. The son can't do the sinful thing, and after thinking about it, he will inevitably want to change to the East Palace - the imperial uncle also has a headache! β
Song Yixiao thought to herself, this majesty of this dynasty, but how could the master who could cut down more than forty brothers and sisters in one breath be indecisive in such a major matter?
Eight times out of ten. Nine, I want to borrow the hands of the princess and the king of Wei to sharpen the prince.
After all, as Jane said simply, the current prince was registered at the age of four, and the road to the prince was escorted by Emperor Xianjia, which can be described as smooth sailing. Although the prince has always been not badly evaluated, it is more reassuring to practice his hands.
"Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess, the Acting Princess, may not be clear about this truth, but if it weren't for this, according to Emperor Xianjia's consistent attention to the crown prince, King Wei would have no chance at all! Although it is now used as a whetstone for the prince, there is still a glimmer of hope after all. β
Song Yi smiled and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered Jian Xubai's advice two days ago, and said, "You said that King Zhao is growing up last time?" Could it be that His Royal Highness King Zhao also has to wade through this troubled water? β
Seeing Jian Xubai bowing slightly, her heart couldn't help but sink!
- Although King Zhao is only twelve years old, he is not comparable to King Wei in terms of dignity: this is the concubine of the middle palace.
He is also the only son-in-law of Emperor Xianjia.
The mother family is one of the founding achievements of Darui after the Qingzhou Su family, a famous family in the world when Valle Yue was in power.
Uncle Ji Guogong is a giant in the army.
Cousin Su Shaoge, recognized as the champion talent.
He also has a reputation for being smart and studious, and he is handsome.
This Ruo also moved the heart of contention...... This Darui court, it's hard not to have an undercurrent, right?
"It's no wonder that my mother didn't even see me last time!" Song Yi smiled and sighed, "A single King of Wei may not be able to take the crown prince." But if Zhao Wang also joins in, it won't be easy to say! β
According to Wei Mengying's personality, since the prince is not foolproof, and the Hengshan Royal Mansion has the ancestral training of not participating in the succession, then she can't take this risk - now that she has no relationship with her daughter and son-in-law, if the prince fails in the future, she will naturally not be involved; In the end, the prince succeeded, and she didn't suffer: she was Song Yixiao's mother-in-law in the end, and Lu's stepmother was a little thick-skinned, and Song Yixiao couldn't get rid of it, let alone her biological mother?
It's just that Qiaoqin said that after the mother was summoned by the concubine, she was both happy and unhappy - the displeasure must be because the queen mother supported Lu Guanlun as the prince, which was happy...... Where is the joy again? Song Yi couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, "Even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he may not disobey the order of the queen mother!" If King Wei and King Zhao succeed, it will have nothing to do with Niang! β
She suddenly turned pale, "Shouldn't my mother be optimistic about those two and have already placed bets?" β
