Chapter 304: Canonization of the County Lord
The Queen Mother whimpered for a while, and then she cleaned up her emotions under the persuasion of Emperor Xianjia, and asked about the experience with a strong spirit, and she was also deeply embarrassed: "According to the prince's trust in you, it is not difficult to remind him to guard against the princess in the future, the difficulty is that the prince is still young, if there is a gap in the princess because of this, and even with Zhong Ling in the future, this is not good!" ”
"This kind of thing can't be told to others, the son can only ask his mother!" Emperor Xianjia smiled bitterly and poured tea for the Queen Mother, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were calm, his body he knew in his own heart, how unwilling he was not at ease, and he had already vented in private, and today he confessed to the Queen Mother, but he was more worried that the Queen Mother would not be able to accept it when she was old.
Now seeing that the Queen Mother has calmed down, the emperor has quickly returned to normal - in fact, even how to deal with the crown princess, the emperor has a plan, which will be said, but it is just to find a reason to repair the mother-son relationship with the Queen Mother.
It's just that the Queen Mother didn't know his calculations, but she thought about it seriously for a while before giving her opinion: "The princess usually advances and retreats to a certain extent, and she is also very attentive to the prince. When you get older in the future, it will be impossible to continue to obey the princess. ”
After a pause, the Queen Mother said again, "The most important thing is that you belong to the crown prince, and at the moment, the prince has no other heirs other than Zhong Ling." On this kind of eye joint bone, the East Palace should be stable and not moved lightly! ”
Speaking of this, she said softly, "Emperor, what do you think? ”
"What the queen mother said is very true!" This is also Emperor Xianjia's plan - the mother and son glanced at each other, tacitly: although the emperor can't last a few days, the queen mother is old and strong, even if the princess's mother-in-law Cui Guifei is dead, and the relationship between the mother-in-law Queen Su and the East Palace is embarrassing, and the queen mother will inevitably be too bad to control them in the future, but the queen mother, the grandmother, can play the role of urging the princess!
If the queen mother's body has always been good, there is still hope for it to last until the king of Zhongling County grows up.
If you are still not at ease at that time, find a reason to dispose of the crown princess before you die, that is.
Of course, the reason why Emperor Xianjia is willing to let the crown princess go is actually for the relationship between the queen mother and the prince: the two ancestors and grandsons were originally very close, but there was a gap because of the princess of the country, and the emperor has no time to slowly mediate with them, although the queen mother is the prince's own grandmother, even if the emperor is gone, the prince cannot do anything to the queen mother, but the emperor hopes that they can restore harmony.
"After the queen mother heard that I didn't live long, she had no heart to oppose the crown prince's accession to the throne, and entrusted the crown princess to the queen mother. In the future, the prince will know that the queen mother will love him after all, and it is expected that there will be no more mustard. When Emperor Xianjia thought of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was relieved, and he suddenly felt a violent dizziness in his head!
"My son, what's wrong with you?!" The Queen Mother was still considering whether the treatment of the crown princess was appropriate, and when she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye, she was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to hold it, and was about to call someone in, but Emperor Xianjia waved his hand weakly and stopped in a low voice: "The queen mother can't - the matter of fighting for the crown is over, I still have to hold on for a few days, otherwise people's hearts will be unstable, and this will be ...... Don't ...... Cannot...... Spread the news that something happened to me! ”
…… On the Qingxi Palace, when the Queen Mother was worried about the emperor and the six gods had no owner, in the Weiyang Palace and the Changle Palace, Queen Su's mother and son were also relatively gloomy.
"Your Majesty has already helped you tell the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom." After a long silence, Queen Su forced a smile and said, "In two days, Nie Wuying will be crowned the county lord and married you." ”
The queen looked at King Zhao - no, this should be called King Su nodded expressionlessly, her heart was sour, she hurriedly turned her face away to hide her emotions, "King Su's Mansion is already under construction, have you been to see it, are you satisfied?" If you are not satisfied......"
"Suwangfu is very good." King Su interrupted her words lightly, "What's more, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace." ”
The queen's face turned pale when she heard this, her lips chattered for a moment, and she wanted to say something to comfort him, but she couldn't think of any suitable words, and her tears fell uncontrollably-King Su under the Danqi heard the suppressed sobbing, looked up, his pupils shrank, and he slowed down his tone: "The mansion won't live long, Queen Mother...... The queen doesn't have to worry too much, not to mention that the mansion was built by His Majesty himself, how dare the Ministry of Industry cut corners? ”
After a pause, he said, "Besides, I don't care about these ......."
Sensing that the queen heard this, she cried even more sadly, King Su closed her eyes, and said after a while, "Or I will send someone to ask Cousin Nie and change it according to her liking?" ”
He actually doesn't want to see Nie Wuying recently, not that he doesn't like this cousin with an embarrassing background, it's just that although King Su is not like the crown prince, he has been meticulously cared for and favored by Emperor Xianjia since he was a child, but he also grew up in the stars and moons - in terms of age, he is still a full round younger than the prince.
The thirteen-year-old boy was hit at first glance, or was personally passed by his father to the blow of his uncle who had never seen him, King Su has not been able to come back to his senses to this day, he only feels that there is nowhere to vent in his chest and he doesn't know how to vent, the double dignity of the young man and the nobles of heaven make him instinctively want to hide, so as not to see those all kinds of eyes, or ridicule or pity.
Especially the latter, if it was from Nie Wuying, the young King Su couldn't imagine what kind of cruelty it was?
If it weren't for his own mother who summoned him today, he wouldn't have entered the palace at all.
But now in order to comfort Queen Su, he can only mention Nie Wuying - sure enough, when the queen heard this, her sadness was a little subdued, and after wiping her face indiscriminately, she held back her tears and said in a hazy voice: "Is it time to do this, in the end she will be the hostess in the future, you don't care, she may not care, you have to ask her preferences." ”
The reason why the queen took the initiative to mention Nie Wuying was naturally because she thought that her son had planted such a big heel this time, and now the only thing that can comfort him is that he can marry his sweetheart.
In fact, not only did the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom not want King Su to be her son-in-law, but the queen also didn't want Nie Wuying to be her daughter-in-law, after all, Nie Wuying's life experience was already a tacit secret among the top nobles. Who would marry a son to an illegitimate daughter whose father is unknown?
But the queen is very satisfied with Nie Wuying now - no matter how embarrassing and unpleasant this girl's life experience is, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom loves her without adulteration!
King Su, who lost a lot in the seizure of the crown, now needs the support and protection of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom very much!
"This is compared to the blood hosta of Yiqi Lianlizhi, from the hand of Ye Zhufu, a famous craftsman in the time of Wei Xuanzong, and at the end of the Wei Dynasty, as the dowry of the daughter of my Qingzhou Su family, I married to the Shen family in Xiliang." Queen Su pulled out the red sandalwood box that had been prepared long ago from the low one, the wooden box was about one foot square, the box was carved with a lotus and a winged bird, the side was a peony flower and leaf, the four corners were wrapped with gold leaf, and the gold leaf was embedded with a night pearl, which was luxurious but simple, revealing a clear atmosphere of the years.
After opening, but on the brocade cushioned in the box, there is a pair of rare blood hostas, bright as blood, very delicate: the hairpin body is round, the hairpin head is a winged bird, the lower is a connecting branch, the feathers are lifelike, and the branches and leaves are like life.
The queen looked at the pair of blood hostas, and her eyes revealed reminiscence, "At that time, the Xiliang Shen family established the third son Shen Zangfeng as the heir, and Shen Zangfeng was married to the Wei daughter of Fengzhou since he was a child, and the pair of hairpins were sent to the Wei daughter before they got married. Later, although Wei's daughter and Shen Zangfeng experienced the turbulent times at the end of the Wei Dynasty and the beginning of Yongfeng, they also loved each other and grew old together. ”
She handed the box to King Su, "When Shen Zangfeng's granddaughter left the pavilion, she brought this pair of hairpins back to the Su family in Qingzhou, and after more than two hundred years, they became the bottom of the box when I married His Majesty." Now I also take it as a gift to Nie Wuying, and I hope that in the future, like Shen Zangfeng and Wei's daughter, even if you experience twists and turns, you can also be peaceful and happy, and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren! ”
After the words of the red sandalwood box and Queen Su's blessing were conveyed to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom rubbed the body of the box, sighed for a long time, and ordered someone to call Nie Wuying to him: "Good life to collect, this pair of hairpins is not only valuable in itself, but also a painstaking effort of the queen!" ”
Nie Wuying cautiously caught it: "Yes!" ”
The eldest princess agreed with her daughter to accept the hairpin of Biyiqi Lianlizhizhi and jade, which was tantamount to semi-openly agreeing to the marriage.
Within two days, the Empress Dowager decreed that Pei Yourui and Nie Wuying were the county lords of Jingmin and Jinghui respectively.
Jing Min and Jing Hui are not county names, but pure titles - originally the royal family only planned to canonize the county lord to Nie Wuying, and the only reason for the canonization was that he was afraid that King Su would lose face.
After all, the failure of King Su's struggle for the crown prince is already at a low point, and at this time, if he marries an illegitimate concubine, even if others know that he and Nie Wu Yingyuan are in love, it is inevitable that the former emperor's concubine has fallen into the dust, and he can't even marry a princess from a serious background, so he can only succumb to a so-called "righteous daughter" whose father is unknown.
But from the psychology of Emperor Xianjia's compensation, as well as the consideration of King Su's future, Nie Wuying is the most suitable candidate.
So I can only mention my identity to Nie Wuying, but Nie Wuying's father is unknown, and her "adoptive mother" is already the eldest princess, and the only way to mention her identity is to canonize her.
As a "righteous daughter", of course, she is one level lower than her own daughter, so she is only named the county lord - but the royal attitude has already been shown: Princess Su, despite her embarrassing background, is recognized and valued by the royal family.
And to give her to King Su, there is absolutely no intention to look down on King Su!
It's just that Yi Zhi was prepared, and after hearing the news, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom personally entered the palace and found Emperor Xianjia to discuss: "Now Yourui is also under my knees, and she gets along with Dancing Sakura day and night like a sister, and now she is only sealed with Dancing Sakura but not her, although the child has always been sensible and will never have any ideas because of this, but I look at it and feel pitiful." ”
The emperor has always respected the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and he should respond without thinking about it: "Then let's seal the county lord together!" ”
In this way, Pei Yourui was stained with Nie Wuying's light, and became the county lord of Jingmin from Miss Pei.
However, although there are many people who envy her good luck, Pei Yourui herself is actually not very happy, after thanking her on the scene, she still guards her father's filial piety without leaving home, and her speech and behavior are as usual, without the slightest intention of being overjoyed and pampered because of the county lord.
There are envious, jealous and hateful people who privately talk about her arrogance, an orphan girl whose parents are dead and her brother and sister-in-law are not close, how can He De be treated so favorably by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom?
But the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom sneered when she heard such rumors: "I just like Yourui's temperament that is not moved by wealth, and that thing that is so frivolous that she can't wait for heaven when she lifts it up a little bit, so it is not worthy of my heart - not to mention who said that Yourui is an orphan girl?" Isn't the stepmother a mother?! ”
After the eldest princess's words came out, Pei Yourui fell into a reputation of "calm and pure filial piety", although she was too old at this time, and at least she had to be filial before she could leave the cabinet, but she secretly tested the eldest princess's tone, revealing that there were more people who wanted to propose marriage.
It's just that Pei Yourui doesn't care who the person who comes to propose marriage is, she always refuses to talk about marriage under the pretext of filial piety - the eldest princess is reluctant to say anything about her, thinking that she is in good health now and can protect her for a few years, so that's it.
It was Nie Wuying, and a few days after the county lord's seal, the holy decree came down and gave the king of marriage to Su.
