Chapter Seventy-Five: A Thousand People and a Thousand Faces, Mother's Heart
After the queen threw down Jiang Tianhe and entered the hall, she didn't look at Chu Shao, but turned into a secluded corridor, looked at no one on the left and right, bit her lower lip, and went into the small garden outside the corridor.
After walking back and forth in the small garden several times, she finally sat down on the swing under the shade of the willows, and while gently swaying in the wind, tears fell from her eyes: "What are you talking about the Jiang family using me as a puppet, mother, you are so anxious to strengthen the Xin family, and you want to stuff your brother's daughter to Shao'er as a wife, why don't you want Shao'er to be a puppet in the future?" ”
"I don't care if I'm a puppet at all, anyway, I'm a woman, I don't understand those military affairs, and I don't want to. that heart! ”
"But how can I bear to let Shao'er follow the path of his father and his emperor's grandfather!"
The former emperor who grew up in the deep palace and was subject to women all his life, never resisted the strong mother and the spicy wife in his life, and was used by these two sides to the end without resistance, and still had to die well, and how many children did he have? Although the current emperor is in and out of the posture of idle clouds and wild cranes, the queen knows that this is just his way of survival.
"Your Majesty's biological mother is Concubine Wu, but since I entered the palace, what I have seen is that His Majesty has been thinking about how to serve his mother all day long - it is true that the mother is higher than the biological mother, but in the end, it is the biological mother and son, will Your Majesty not want to accompany Concubine Wu and give grace to the Wu family? He never mentioned it, it was just that he was afraid of the Jiang family and didn't dare to do that! The queen wiped her face in frustration and thought in a daze, "Even if you are good to me, I'm afraid most of the reason is because I am the queen mother's choice, right?" As the Son of Heaven, he is cautious in his words and deeds everywhere...... It's not as good as an ordinary noble kid! ”
"Your Majesty has been living a very hard life, can't even Shao'er escape such a fate?"
There are thousands of people and faces in this world, including the mother of the Empress Dowager Gu, who did not hesitate to kill her son for her own selfish desires and power; There are also Xin Fubing, even if the mother is in the world, she has no desire for power, and her wish is only a mother who loves her children from beginning to end.
So what Jiang Tianhe did today really disappointed her to the extreme: "Since the Jiang family has been regent for two dynasties, how can it be an exception when it comes to Shao's childhood?" Xin Jia...... The Xin family is just tirelessly trying to be the next Jiang family! I'm a weak female streamer, how can I help Shao'er avoid the scourge of being a puppet in his day?! ”
Thinking about the life of her own son in the future, she will live a life where her life hangs by a thread and she is trembling, and the queen feels that everything is burning!
But not only was she helpless, but she didn't dare to confide in anyone - her mother's family didn't understand, her husband didn't dare to say it, even if she was her friends Qiu Lulan and Zhuang Man, she couldn't rest assured! can only take advantage of this time when there is no one, cry alone on the swing for a while to talk and vent.
At this moment, the queen didn't know that when she was silently weeping, in the flowers not far away, the emperor in a light robe stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were deep.
…… The turmoil in the palace, the parties involved tacitly covered up the past. So Jingzhong doesn't know for the time being that the Qin State Mansion is busy running Jiang Huibao's full moon wine - I don't know if Chu Yitong really made a request, or if he is doing a full set with Shui Jin, in short, Miss Twenty-four's full moon wine will indeed have a lot of changes with Jiang Huiying.
So the people at the banquet chewed the root of their tongues: "Women are more precious than their fathers, but what is the difference between the sons and daughters of this world!" Although the nineteenth son can study and has a future, he is only a young son after all! ”
Of course, the person who said this was far away from Qiu Yulan's seat, but it was Ruan Ciyi who heard it when he was going around.
After the dismissal, he came to remind her: "Don't let these rumors and rumors calculate!" The so-called family and everything is prosperous, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are still there, and there has never been a daughter-in-law who has never liked to provoke a family of infighting-I'd rather let your eighth sister-in-law be a little bit of a sister-in-law, and never fight with her for a moment's anger! Anyway, the person in charge of the house now is not your room, and your eighth sister-in-law can't embarrass you! ”
Qiu Yulan thought that this was very right, and smiled: "How can you turn over the tricks with the banquet, don't you forget it after eating?" That's why those idlers have that mind muttering! ”
"That's it!" Ruan Ciyi nodded approvingly, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are both understanding people, even if they are not in Beijing, if you really want to know something, you can't get the news!" So don't forget to be young and orderly! ”
"Don't worry, eldest cousin, I won't tell people to laugh at a few words!" Qiu Yulan smiled and diverted the topic, "How is Xi'er doing?" He can stick to you very much, this time you rushed back to eat the wedding wine, but you didn't take him, I'm afraid he will be in a hurry! ”
Ruan Ciyi sighed: "No way, he can't help but be hot, I'm afraid he can't stand running back and forth this day!" ”
In fact, such a hot Tianruan Ciyi felt hard back and forth, and she really knew that Chu Yitong and Qiu Yulan's concubine relationship was not very harmonious, and Qiu Yulan's mother's family had no relatives, so she was afraid that if she didn't arrive, Chu Yitong would think that she was deliberately slacking, and when the time came, she would be angry with Qiu Yulan's head - so she insisted on coming to eat and drink.
The twists and turns in the middle of Qiu Yulan also know, and she can't help but hint that Ruan Ciyi doesn't have to care too much about Chu Yitong's attitude in the future, after all: "The eldest cousin also knows that the Guogong Mansion is my fourteenth sister-in-law, and she has a good relationship with me." Although my eighth sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law of the fourth room, in fact, she has always lived her own way, and it is common for ten days and half a month to meet when she asks for peace in front of her grandmother. ”
Ruan Ciyi borrowed a room in her courtyard for one night, and the next day rushed back to Dizi Mountain to see her son.
Qiu Yulan sent her to the door, but when she returned to the yard, she saw that the swing didn't know when it came from the back door, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't you go to Dizi Mountain to escape the summer this year?" ”
"If you have a business, I'm not sure if I can do it, so my sister-in-law asked me to ask." Swing sat on her soft couch peeling grapes and eating, and it took a long time to free her hands and mouth, and pointed to a letterhead on the table not far away, and said, "It's not easy to move anyone's hands!" ”
Qiu Yulan took out a handkerchief and threw it over: "Wipe your mouth!" Look at the juice dripping on the skirt! ”
Then he sat down and picked up the letterhead and opened it, and after reading it, he said, "I haven't heard of this person either, so I'll show it to my grandmother later...... Come along! ”
Swing sighed: "I'm going to be a lady again!" ”
"It's only a few words, but can't bear it?" Qiu Yulan smiled, and suddenly remembered and asked, "Sister-in-law?" Qiu Nie and Mei Xue can be considered married? When was it, why didn't you say anything? ”
"The two of them are busy now, and I still urged me to do this family business, how can I have the time to talk about pomp?" Swing said disappreciatively, "Say it again...... Are you sure I told you, it's convenient for you to go and drink the wedding wine? Shall I come and talk to you now? ”
This is also - Qiu Nie and Mei Xue are walking the rivers and lakes, although it is said that those who can mix to a certain scale in the rivers and lakes will definitely have something to do with the government, but they will not admit it on the scene. It's really not good for Qiu Nie to deal with them openly, so as not to break the rules in the circle.
smiled and said, "Then I'll make up the gift!" ”
"Don't be rich!" The swing knocked on her without any psychological pressure.
Qiu Yulan glanced at her: "Say it as if I used to be stingy?" ”
After a few words, the swing finished eating the grapes, and was dragged into the inner room by Qiu Yulan to change into a clean dress, and then took the letter to find Mrs. Tao to report.
Old Madam Tao was a little surprised to see them coming, but soon beckoned them to sit with a smile. is especially enthusiastic about swings: "I haven't seen you these days, Yishu looks like she's thin?" "Just angry at Qiu Lan, "You sister don't give her a good life and nourishment!" ”
"She's in the summer! You just can't get fat this season. Qiu Yulan said with a smile, "It's not bad that my granddaughter-in-law doesn't hurt her!" ”
The corners of Swing's mouth twitched when she heard this, but she was pretending to be a lady, and she couldn't jump out to confess, so she had to bow her head and smile softly in a gentle and shy manner, as if she acquiesced.
Mrs. Tao is also the scene of the scene, and she doesn't speculate about the truth when she hears the words, so she pulls the swing and asks for warmth and cares about her "bitter summer". It wasn't until Qiu Yulan pulled the topic back on the letterhead that she said, "Go back and let Mother Hu take it to the palace to ask, I don't know any of this...... In a hurry? ”
Seeing that the swing nodded obediently, he said, "Then let her go tomorrow!" ”
…… The next day, Hu's mother took a carriage out of the city, and came back five days later, in addition to bringing back the news that the person was indeed the queen mother's secret son, and it was not easy to kill, she also brought back a message: "Mrs. Wugu forcibly wanted to say goodbye to a young lady of the Chen family, and forced that young lady to commit suicide in front of the palace!" Fortunately, the forbidden army killed the dagger in time to save his life! Now it's all over the mountains! ”
Old Madam Tao suddenly frowned: "What kind of crazy crane is going on this day?!" ”
Jiang Tianhe's girlhood is acute though. son, but at that time, it was not very annoying, and the elders said that she was a quick talker. After leaving the cabinet, he has been released with his husband, and he has not seen him for many years, but now after he comes back, he looks more and more unassuming, and he has become a short-sighted vulgar woman, and he has gone up with snobbery and arrogance.
To be honest, the rapid expansion of the Xin family in the past two years was probably instigated by her.
Even the young queen can see this, and the elders of Mrs. Tao's class know it even more - that is, the Xin family is also in-law in the end, although they have been grabbing food everywhere in the past two years, they are subject to a weak foundation and limited results, so they didn't give her a long memory.
Now that I heard that she actually did this kind of thing, this appearance is simply too ugly!
Mrs. Tao was not tired in her heart, and thought: "It's time to find an opportunity to remind my younger brothers and sisters when I go back, she is such a daughter, it really makes trouble to the point that it doesn't end well, and Tianluan is also embarrassed!" ”
I heard Mother Hu sigh: "Isn't it for His Royal Highness King Han to tie his hair in the year, and when this summer vacation is over, he will be registered as the king and officially choose a concubine?!" ”
The heirs of the first emperor were very prosperous, and there were more than twenty princes and princesses combined, and the rankings were separated. The emperor is ranked seventh, and the eighth and ninth emperor brothers below him died before they lived to be a few years old, followed by the tenth emperor brother Chu Weiyong - this imperial brother and the eldest princess Le Xin are the same biological mother, Qu Baolin when the first emperor was born, and now Qu Taifei.
Although Concubine Qu did not participate in the Queen Mother's Party during the dispute between the two queens, she was not the queen's party, so her children have been in a state of self-destruction. Chu Weiyong was never crowned king when he was the first emperor, but when he ascended the throne today, he added his brothers and sisters as usual and gave him the title of King of Han.
King Han's fate can be regarded as unfortunate, and he was lightened by Gu Yan in his early years. Suspicion of being thin, so it has always been very low-key - but no matter how low-key it is, after all, it is a serious royal brother, and when the queen mother forgets with the emperor when he is old, the Ministry of Rites also reminds him to marry a concubine and open a house.
With such a reminder, the families in the court and the central government also woke up: "This is another princess!" ”
"But what's the fun of the Xin family?!" Old Madam Tao laughed angrily, "They all have queens in their family, and the family is not allowed to drink some soup after eating meat?!" How powerful our Jiang family is, who else is the princess surnamed Jiang among the kings except for Xiao Fifteen?! ”
