Chapter 512: Respectful Gestures of Favor Turning Danger into Relief
Because Concubine Shou had Xiao Xie's personally led the "visit without telling her", when Yijing got the news and rushed to the main hall of Rongxi Hall, she saw an old lady with a serious face and gray sideburns sitting on it, and the old princess who was next to the case was a little nervous.
Yi Jing sighed secretly, and said in her heart that these people really hate to panic and make trouble for her, and they are really indomitable, going forward and repeatingly.
Only then did he squat down and bend his knees, and the "chief judge" on the seat snorted coldly: "I didn't take a closer look last time, but this time, the Su family is really born well, no wonder it will seduce His Royal Highness so much that His Royal Highness will never forget it." ”
Yijing's temples suddenly felt a dull pain - the person who came was quite unkind, and this was too vicious!
The old princess had heard Concubine Shou inexplicably blame Yijing for damaging the reputation of the clan, but she didn't want to explain it, so she had to wait for Yijing to come for a retrial, and her heart hung in her throat, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but shoot the case: "What is this word, concubine!" ”
Yi Jing hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old princess to sit down first, and secretly glanced at Xiao Xie, seeing that the corners of her lips couldn't help twitching, and the schadenfreude was already on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and her heart was cold and sinking.
"The big truth! They all say that you are confused, and you are really a gullible one, so you can ask your granddaughter-in-law if she has a dispute with the concubine Li of the Three Princes' Mansion during the Shangyuan Festival this year...... Even if the Li family was at fault and collided with her, she didn't deserve to die, so she was given poisoned wine by His Royal Highness, and she was a good family! ”
The old princess was shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly looked at Yijing.
Yi Jingqiang held back the anger in his heart - stepmother is a good method, the crime she found this time is really "indefensible", and she actually moved such a difficult master as Concubine Shou - no better than Mrs. Xie San, who has the rank of a concubine and is the head of the clan, she can't be disrespectful to her no matter what, and the queen mother intends to let her great-granddaughter and relatives, and at this juncture, she can't contradict and conflict with Concubine Shou, maybe her family will have to have a step-sister to come over.
Fortunately, because she took precautions, she also inquired about Concubine Shou's personality.
The branch of King Shou has declined in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, and Concubine Shou is the step-room, it is said that she is the daughter of Shangjia, and she is as fierce as fire. Because the eldest son of King Shou was executed by Emperor Ai, her own son was later succeeded to the title, but the youngest son who was executed by Emperor Ai was also born to Concubine Shou, when King Shou seized the title for sin, Concubine Shou complained even more about Gaozu ignoring the old feelings, after Taizong ascended the throne, Concubine Shou's descendants were not reused, and Concubine Shou was more upset.
The concubine also has two concubines, although it later became the Dalong clan, this mother-in-law in order to suppress the concubine, the daughter-in-law she is looking for is not a wang family, but she doesn't want to be gentle and virtuous, the queen mother and the first three girls, except for the one who talks a lot, are the granddaughters of the two concubines of Concubine Shou.
And Concubine Shou Chu Xin deliberately married the daughter-in-law of the only concubine to the noble daughter-in-law, but it was the Hedong Lion, and the methods were ruthless, and she made many concubines die strangely and unbelievably, for example, one of them actually ate the poisonous mushroom in his own garden by mistake, and the other was actually stung to death by a poisonous scorpion......
Back then, King Shou was so romantic, but there was no concubine and concubine.
Princess Shou was also a short-lived person, and died of illness in her early thirties.
The concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to find a daughter from a high-ranking family for her son to be the successor, but at that time, King Shou had been robbed of the title, and it was such a reputation, and the concubine had not been able to take advantage of her wishes.
The son later "died of depression" - according to Yijing's inquiry, he was infected with a dirty disease and died.
The concubine held her breath, and still did not consider the choice of her granddaughter-in-law, and the result was ...... The dignitaries who are willing to marry her family are all because their daughters are "notorious", and they really can't find a suitable marriage, and in desperation, they think that although marrying into an idle clan has no practical benefits, they can save face.
Therefore, Concubine Shou's two granddaughters-in-law are also arrogant.
Join the saying that if you are not a family, you will not enter a family.
Yijing observed that day, although the great-granddaughter of the concubine knew some manners and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the queen mother, she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, for example, she secretly sarcastically sarcastically that the two were concubines, not as noble as her.
Yijing is very reluctant to succeed such a "girl" over, if she really lets her get along in the future, there is a case, Concubine Shou will be difficult enough.
But although King Kang only has one concubine in Pingle, there are three concubines, one is married, and two are still in the boudoir, so there is really no need to succeed one.
However, she also discussed with Yu Feng, and she might be able to persuade the saint not to use such an obvious routine as "succession".
At this time, Yi Jing thought quickly - although Concubine Shou was arrogant, she was not an eventful person, she should be secretly dissatisfied with Gaozu, she never took the initiative to interact with the prince or the prince's mansion, she had no friendship with Xiao Xie, and she had no hatred with herself.
As long as it's not just to vent your anger.
Xiao Xie used such a sharp knife this time, and he was not afraid of hurting his own hands, as well as Jiang Yue, who was hiding in the dark...... Think you can be alone if you don't get ahead?
Yijing's heart was cold.
So the princess's answer was very gentle and unreasonable: "Grandmother, on the Shangyuan Festival, I made an appointment with Wei, Zhuo and other little ladies to go to the teahouse to watch the lanterns, and I did have a slight quarrel with the people in the Three Princes' Mansion. ”
Concubine Shou was unforgiving, and sneered: "Since you admit it, if you don't kneel down to receive the punishment, the daughter-in-law of my clan can tolerate a slut who has to keep the woman's way." ”
The old princess was so angry that she shot the case again: "The concubine can't spew blood, even if my granddaughter-in-law has a quarrel with that Li family, she is disposed of by the Third Highness and has nothing to do with the Chu Palace." ”
Seeing that Concubine Shou was about to be angry, Yi Jing hurriedly comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry, the old concubine is the head of the clan, and it is reasonable to be angry for a while after listening to these gossips, for the sake of the granddaughter-in-law's reputation and the reputation of the clan, out of good intentions." Turning his face, he smiled at Concubine Shou: "Don't blame my grandmother, old lady, she has always loved me, and I can't help but feel anxious when I hear this." ”
Concubine Shou was stunned, and said in her heart that this Su clan was not as arrogant, pampered and arrogant as the rumors, and looked like a gentle person...... She shows weakness like this, how can she still be angry?
Yijing followed and said: "I don't know who the old lady heard from that the third highness gave death to a concubine from a good background, this matter can't be said casually, I was wronged or secondary, if this word spreads into the palace, the saint and the queen mother will be investigated, and the old lady also knows that the saint hates the most is persecuting the people, but if the third highness is innocent, or can't find the real evidence to prove it, the saint and the queen mother are afraid that they will be investigated for the rumors and slanderers, and the matter involves the prince, the old lady can be cautious." ”
Concubine Shou was completely stunned.
Although she is domineering, she has some complaints about the heavenly family in her heart, and she also knows how to be jealous of the monarch's authority, so she has never dared to say the rebellious words in her heart over the years, and as she grows older, she has more knowledge, and she also knows that the future of her children and grandchildren who are neglected by the heavenly family is worried, for example, if she wants to marry her great-grandson now, it will be difficult to find a daughter from a high-ranking family.
Today, I heard that the Su family looked down on her granddaughter, and laughed at her family behind Pingle's windfall, and was angry for a while, but the key was that Xiao Xie promised her great-grandson the position of commander - she was born in a businessman, and she couldn't afford to be early if she was profitable, and she would compete for the first place if she was profitable.
But being reminded like this, Concubine Shou thought that this should not be said, but His Royal Highness was raised by the queen, and he was a brother to the prince...... Oops, if you are not prepared for a while, you almost fell into someone else's trap!
Didn't Xiao Xie's daughter marry into the Chen family? That's the mother family of the Four Princes!
Concubine Shou's face changed abruptly, from red to blue, and there was still anger in her eyes, but she turned a corner and rushed towards Xiao Xie, who had not yet reacted.
Yi Jing saw that "the treacherous plan succeeded", he breathed a sigh of relief, and became more and more gentle and submissive, and further set up a friendship with him: "Some time ago, I saw the three great-granddaughters of the old lady in Ci'an Palace, all of whom are of the age of flowers and jade, and they are all knowledgeable, especially An Le is the most refreshing and lively, even the Queen Mother is full of praise for her, saying that An Le's temperament is as straightforward as your heart, and when I saw the old lady today, it was really true." "He turned the old lady's barbarism into virtue.
An Le is naturally the one who is hearty on the surface and dark on the inside, but she is the great-granddaughter of Concubine Shou, Yijing's words are a little untrue, but there is no pressure at all to say it. Because the Queen Mother did praise An Le, although it was because it was more appropriate to choose a descendant daughter and relatives.
Of course, Concubine Shou knows that An Le was edicted to enter the palace - her two grandchildren, respectively, are married to noble daughters, as if they are two Hedong lions, the advantage is that the great-grandchildren are not concubines, and the grandsons are more sensible than their sons, they have not learned to find flowers and ask willows, and their literary talents are not as good as those children of the family, but they are very sophisticated in riding and archery, but unfortunately they are not reused by the heavenly family, An Le is the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson, in addition to the New Year or the grand ceremony or the sacrifice when there is a chance to enter the palace, and has never been edicted, this time An Le entered the palace, Concubine Shou is very concerned, also suspected that the queen mother finally remembered her branch, and wanted to give An Le a good marriage, if she married into a noble family, it would also be helpful to her grandson and great-grandson.
How can Concubine Shou not pay attention to it, but when she asks and asks, An Le can't tell the truth, only that the Queen Mother is very kind to her.
At this time, Concubine Shou further remembered the Queen Mother's closeness to Yijing, and hurriedly asked: "The Queen Mother is really happy and happy?" ”
Yijing naturally smiled and said yes, recalling the Queen Mother's praise for An Le at that time, and carefully explained it to Concubine Shou.
Xiao Xie never thought that things would change like this, and he was stunned in the chair for a long time, and couldn't help but interject: "Old lady......"
"Shut up!" Concubine Shou roared angrily, and was reminded by Xiao Xie's family, so she stopped and changed to a pleasant face, gritted her teeth, and her cheeks protruded slightly, before she said to the old princess: "Today I was confused, and I was instigated by Brother Dong's daughter-in-law, first I heard her say that Jing'er and Pingle laughed at my eldest granddaughter behind her back, alas, you also know that Pingle was too disagreeable at that time, and dared to whip the elders, she also has to call my granddaughter a clan aunt!" I only said that Jing'er was better and more peaceful, and I was as arrogant as her, but I didn't know that when I looked at it today, I didn't look like that kind of person. ”
The old princess also came back to her senses at this time, and glared at Xiao Xie's fiercely: "Kneel!" ”
Yes, this time the beautiful scenery can only stand by and watch.
Concubine Shou continued to count: "The latter words were also said by Brother Dong's daughter-in-law, she is Jing'er's aunt, and she lives in one place, I just thought that she was also thinking about the younger generations, but I didn't expect it to be out of nowhere, if it wasn't for Jing'er's reminder, I was also surrounded by her, the second daughter-in-law, I didn't say you, although Brother Dong is not your own child, you don't have to worry too much about gossip, you still have to be disciplined." ”
Xiao Xie wanted to cry without tears, and until now he still couldn't believe that a good start was such a crime, not only did he not rectify the beautiful scene, but he became a trial...... The original plan was to rely on Su's sophistry and argumentation, and the old princess was biased, even if he would not implement the charges, as long as he collided with Concubine Shou, Concubine Shou would definitely spread the word about Su's arrogance and personal morality...... This old pious woman, who bears the name of being a bully in vain, but she didn't think about it, but she was a soft egg, and she was scared by the Su family in two sentences, she really dared to think that she was for the reputation of the clan, phew! It's not that she thinks it's profitable and hates the Su family for underestimating her family.
Yijing pondered for a while, and said in her heart that she still couldn't embarrass the "elders" in front of outsiders, hurting her "virtuous name", and if she wanted to punish Xiao Xie, she had to wait for the send-off, so she persuaded: "The old lady is angry, don't misunderstand the second aunt, she thinks that she is also deceived by outsiders, and thinks that her grandmother will not believe it, and it is also out of kindness to connive at my mistakes in the future and damage the reputation of the clan, it is also out of kindness, it is good to say this, there are no outsiders here, you can't go out, the old lady and relax." Regarding Xiao Xie's slander and mocking Mrs. Sheng Xingbo behind her back, Yijing was really powerless and chose to turn a deaf ear.
Concubine Shou got the steps, of course, she had to go down the slope and get off the donkey, and only praised Yijing: "This girl is young, she really understands righteousness, and she is broad-minded, no wonder the Queen Mother also loves her as a granddaughter, and the second daughter-in-law is so blessed." ”
Yijing persuaded the old princess again: "Grandmother, the second aunt still has to do housework, you should forgive her first." "Personally helped Xiao Xie up.
Xiao Xie grinded his teeth with hatred, but he had to swallow his anger to express his "apologies" to Yijing, and said a bunch of guilty words, seeing that the old princess waved his hand impatiently, he retreated as relieved, only to hear the voice of the princess behind him as pleasant as a yellow warbler: "The old lady is so easy to come back, it is really a rare guest, let me be a host today, please move to Guan Sui Yuan, at this time the courtyard is full of plum blossoms, let's gossip while enjoying the flowers, but we have to use dinner before letting the old lady go back......"
Xiao Xie saw a burst of Venus dancing in front of him, almost planting an upside down.
What a Sue! You are flattering, you are servile, you are cunning and sinister, you vixen!
We'll see!
