Chapter 607: Marrying a Wife and Marrying Virtue
When Emperor Sutai quietly entered the backyard of King Su's mansion, Nie Wuying had already been settled—she had already been much weaker than usual after a long journey, and she needed to rest for a few days.
Who knows that when I came back, I received the biological mother who was forced to self. The bad news, not to mention the mental blow, the condolences also consume the already small amount of physical strength, what else is there to rest?
Today I entered the palace and went to Yanhou Mansion, so I ran around, and I naturally felt tired at night, so I went to bed early.
After being woken up by Emperor Sutai while shaking and whispering, Nie Wuying was confused for a while before she was startled, sat up subconsciously, and said in surprise: "Why are you here?!" ”
"I heard that after you went to the emperor's grandmother's side today, I didn't seem to be very happy, and I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I came out at night to take a look." Emperor Sutai was now wearing a set of regular clothes for the chamberlain, obviously slipping out in disguise, he touched Nie Wuying's long hair that had fallen down, and pulled the quilt that slipped down when she sat up for her, and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”
She said...... "Nie Wuying took advantage of the candle outside the tent to clearly see the exhaustion between her husband's eyebrows, thinking of the great changes in these days, Emperor Sutai as the center of the vortex, the pressure can be imagined!" Now that the third watch has to sneak out of the palace for herself in the middle of the night, she feels very uncomfortable, and she doesn't want to trouble him more and more, so she pauses and pretends to be an understatement, "She said something about the past, but I don't really remember it." ”
It's just that she doesn't have any city government, Emperor Sutai and her are married to each other, and they are most familiar with each other day and night, but they can see at a glance that their wife is lying.
He left the palace in the middle of the night, the time was urgent, and he didn't have time to coax slowly, and as soon as his mind changed, he said: "You'd better tell me sentence by sentence, otherwise we won't know the way of the imperial grandmother when we turn back." ”
Nie Wuying's face changed when she heard this: "The Empress Dowager is targeting me at most, but you are her grandson!" ”
"The family affection of the heavenly family has been thin since ancient times, do you think the imperial aunt of the country is still the aunt of the third brother!" Emperor Sutai thought to himself, did his wife really suffer a grievance in front of his imperial grandmother? He groaned in his heart and said softly, "This kind of thing can't be said for sure. ”
Nie Wuying was frightened, she didn't dare to hide it anymore, and hurriedly told her what had happened, and finally said worriedly: "You said that the Empress Dowager has any other intentions?" ”
"Is it just for good intentions?" Emperor Sutai's face sank like water when he heard this, and he said hesitantly, "I'm afraid that we won't be able to pinch up with Yanhou and his wife!" He was really unhappy at the moment - Emperor Sutai was of course wary and even hostile to Jian Xubai, but he was a person who could distinguish between the important and the important, and at the moment, whether it was for the sake of the overall situation or for his own safety, he couldn't turn his face against Jian Xubai!
And the Empress Dowager conveyed to him through Nie Wuying on this eye bone, "You can't even protect your own wife", how many meanings does this mean?
Although Emperor Sutai is much more cheerful and peaceful than Emperor Xianjia, this does not mean that he has no temper.
Especially in his growth process, the Empress Dowager did not have as much contact with him as the Su family - he was still wary of the Su family, let alone the Empress Dowager?
At this moment, countless thoughts suddenly came to my heart, and I fixed my mind before I said, "Grandmother Huang is deliberately divisive, you don't pay attention to her!" You and I are married, and it is a matter of course that you are in the middle palace! Our future children should also be registered as reserves! ”
After a pause at this point, Emperor Sutai raised his head, held his wife's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "But I'll be honest with you, I don't have the ability to promise at the moment, and you will be the only one in the harem in the future." ”
Since ancient times, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are the norm, the Yongping Emperor in the former Yong period, it is said that the Empress Dowager Su with the boudoir name "such as painting", can be said to be like glue all her life, but even the harem of the Yongping Emperor has had a noble concubine and a Zhaoyi, as well as a number of low-level palace concubines.
Even if those people were decorations, Emperor Sutai had a very clear understanding of his current situation and the extent he might reach in the future.
He knew that he couldn't fight for his wife to the end on the issue of the harem.
He doesn't have that ability.
Not now, not in the future - even if he is really in power and doesn't need to look at anyone's eyes, but the Empress Dowager Su is still there.
Although Emperor Su Tai is sincere to Nie Wuying, he is not a person who can give up everything and ignore his biological mother for the sake of mutual affection.
So he must make a certain degree of concession, otherwise Empress Dowager Su is only afraid that she will be the first to kill Nie Wuying with her own hands!
After all, no mother would like a daughter-in-law who brings great pressure and trouble to her son.
Emperor Sutai could only promise his wife two things: the rear position and the storage position.
If Nie Wuying was Empress Wei, she would definitely breathe a sigh of relief at this moment, and even be grateful to her husband.
However, she was not—so even though she knew that her husband himself was helpless, her expression quickly darkened, and she said lonely, "I know." ”
"I heard that you went to Yanhou Mansion today and met Cousin-in-law Song?" Emperor Su Tai was also very uncomfortable when he saw her like this, but he couldn't think of any words of comfort at the moment, so he couldn't help but stroke the hair scattered on her shoulders, and after being silent for a while, he decided to divert the topic, "Did you tell your cousin about this?" What can my cousin say? ”
"I didn't tell my cousin-in-law, I was afraid that she would be pregnant and worry about me." Nie Wuying shook her head and said, "But my cousin-in-law told me a lot of things about the elders......
She paused before continuing, "I was going to ask the fourth brother to find out, but now I feel that I don't have the face to see him at all." ”
Emperor Sutai groaned, roughly guessed what Song Yixiao told her, reached out and shook her arm, and comforted: "Those are all in the past." If Yan Hou can't let go of his feelings, how can Cousin-in-law Song receive you today? ”
"Those inside stories, the Queen Mother and the eldest sister didn't tell me before." Nie Wuying looked at the lights outside the tent, looking a little complaining and a little bored, "They are talking about it, but they are a little bit of a pouting that I hate the Yanhou Mansion——"
When she said this, she froze her mouth, and a trace of sadness passed between her eyebrows: In fact, what Nie Wuying really felt unhappy about was not that she was aware that her grandmother and half-brother and sister were trying to instigate herself to be the vanguard of revenge for the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.
After all, people are eccentric, and Nie Wuying herself felt that she had no face to avenge her biological mother, but she could understand their resentment towards Yanhou Mansion.
But these people tried to take advantage of her, and at the same time felt that she would not end well—what did this make her feel like?
Although the county lord of Qingjiang did not speak directly like the Empress Dowager, between the words, it always naturally revealed, "Sister, you are from a background like you, where can you afford the blessings of the mother's world?" It's going to be fine, I'm afraid you won't live long."
That kind of secret pity and regret really made Nie Wuying feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that she didn't say anything because she didn't want to ask Song Yixiao for help before.
At this moment, in front of her husband, she couldn't help but confide, and felt very dazed, "Worm slave, will we fall out with Yanhou Mansion in the future?" ”
Emperor Sutai stared at his wife quietly and said gently, "Don't you want to fall out with them?" Even if Yan Hou forced his mother-in-law to death with his own mouth? ”
He deliberately bit the word "mother-in-law" and reminded his wife that it was Nie Wuying's biological mother.
"I don't know." Nie Wuying was silent for a long time before she said, "If it's just for my mother's business, I don't think it's necessary...... Originally, it was my mother's fault first, not to mention that the fourth brother did what he did at the beginning, also to protect me and the eldest sister, standing in his position, it is not easy to do so much. If it were him, I think...... I'll probably leave everything to Old Lady Duanmu and then don't think about it, right? ”
"If just because I am my mother's biological daughter, I don't ask to take revenge on the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law, then the children and relatives of the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law will have a reason to retaliate against me in the future?"
"When will this be retribution?"
"Mother went, the fourth brother said, this matter ends here - I think this is very good, whether it is our generation, or our future children and grandchildren, we don't need to entangle the grievances of our predecessors, we don't have to bear the burden of our elders, we can have our own life and fun."
"If I go underground in the future and see my mother, she reproaches me for being unfilial to her, and I admit it."
She pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Emperor Sutai, "Of course, this is only from my personal point of view. Because I don't know anything about the court, if you need to fall out with them......"
Nie Wuying sighed softly, "Of course I'm on your side—I only hope that in the future, if you can, you can show mercy to your fourth sister-in-law!" Before I left the cabinet, she was the one who accompanied me the most. Almost all the people I knew when I was in the boudoir were introduced by her. If it weren't for her, I would have been very lonely during that time. I don't want anything bad about her...... Of course, the fourth sister-in-law is always less important than you. ”
"Imperial grandmother, they always think that you can't be a qualified queen with such a temperament." Emperor Sutai listened quietly, and when he came here, he also sighed and clenched her hand, and said warmly, "Actually, this is because they have more intrigues and dirty things, and they have forgotten the simplest truth: marry a wife and marry virtue!" ”
"Your virtue and tolerance are enough to be worthy of that seat in the Changle Palace." The young emperor looked at his wife gently, "Tomorrow I will make an appointment with Yanhou to meet and talk to him frankly!" ”
Nie Wuying was stunned, and couldn't help but blush, and said helplessly: "I ......"
opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say - she hadn't heard the words of praise, and after the two got married, Emperor Sutai often praised her.
But those are probably sweet words under the moon before the flowers.
But it was the first time I heard her husband so serious and formal, saying that she was "virtuous" and "tolerant".
Nie Wuying felt overwhelmed, she never felt that she was "virtuous" or "tolerant", because she never wanted Emperor Sutai to have other women to serve her, so she even secretly hoped that her husband would not be the emperor, and she didn't even have confidence in taking care of a harem in the future - Emperor Sutai praised her so much, it was hard not to make her think that she was perfunctory or cheating.
But the husband's attitude is so affirmative and solemn......
Nie Wuying sent her husband away in a trance, and then turned back to the inner room, only to remember that she forgot to ask, her husband asked Jian to confess, what do you want to talk about?
And will they be able to negotiate?
