[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 301

This is actually Princess Lingxian's own experience, when her biological mother Huo was once a concubine, she also lived a life of arrogance in the palace, a real golden branch and jade leaves.

But later, Shen Jun, the sixth prince who was deeply liked by her father, died violently, and Shen Jun's mother, Deng Guifei, went crazy and demanded a thorough investigation. At that time, the Huo family didn't think much about it at all, and privately sighed two sentences to his young daughter, and was glad that he only gave birth to a daughter, Princess Lingxian. Princess, generally speaking, it doesn't hinder anyone, the mother and son depend on each other to live, and they are not afraid of falling out of favor and dying of loneliness.

But I didn't want to find out about the Huo family this time, Princess Lingxian still remembers the look of surprise and disbelief when the concubine learned that the palace people accused her of colluding with Ji Ying to murder the six princes - there is no biological prince and no adoption of any prince, and the Huo family mother and daughter have never had any conflict and too much contact with Deng Guifei's mother and son, why did the Huo family take the risk of murdering the six princes???

Such a hoarse defense was finally in vain in the face of several "ironclad evidence".

After the Huo family was taken away, Princess Lingxian never saw her again, and she still didn't know where her mother was buried. Thinking of the practice of discarding the straw mats to the mass graves outside the city after the death of the palace people, Princess Lingxian didn't even dare to continue to think about it, I was afraid that she would not be able to bear the truth.

Because of the Huo family, Princess Lingxian, who was originally mediocre, completely fell out of favor in front of her father. Sometimes it's not as good as today's Princess Anji, if she hadn't met the colt, maybe no one would have paid attention to her, and when she reached the age of age, she would only be lightly promised by the queen to marry someone, how could she know the future of good and bad?

When she was struggling in the palace, Princess Lingxian had no less than her favored sisters. For example, the princesses accepted the teachings of the female officials together, and some favored princesses had a loose temperament and refused to pay attention, which slowed down the process......

Princess Lingxian knows that her status as a princess is actually meaningless, after all, her disgrace is already a matter known to the government and the public. Even the mother's mother's mother, the Huo family, was faint with her...... Su Nianchu married Wei Changfeng, and the power of his mother's family that he could really rely on was his father's family.

Although Su Xiuqin's parents died before she got married, Su Pingzhan still attaches great importance to her brother's only flesh and blood. Back then, because Su Xiuqin violated Su Pingzhan's intentions and forcibly begged Princess Shang Lingxian, Su Pingzhan was so angry that he punished his nephew very much, so that the two uncles and nephews almost did not interact. But after the mediation of Princess Lingxian over the years, both sides have actually let go of their grudges, but they haven't officially moved around because of one level.

But the nephew can't be compared with the parent, not to mention that Su Pingzhan also has three sons under his knees?

From the perspective of background, Su Nianchu is a head lower than Wei Changfeng, and he is married to Fengzhou. Even though Wei Changfeng will definitely enter the court as an official in the future, Su Nianchu has to set up rules under the hands of the two mothers-in-law.

Although Ruiyutang has declined a lot over the years, Princess Lingxian knows that a family with big roots like the Fengzhou Wei Clan, even if it is declining for a while, it should not be underestimated. Just look at how proud the main church was before, isn't it still a side sect here? Not to mention that the Marquis of Jingcheng were all sent to Fengzhou to live for a long time.

Therefore, Princess Lingxian is afraid that she and the concubine have always pampered her daughter, don't let her daughter be casual, and after passing the door, she will neglect her husband and family - don't mention the others in Ruiyutang, just talk about Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song, which one is easy to serve?

The princess kept teaching her daughter to abide by the harem after leaving the cabinet, so that she could serve her husband and elders, and teach her various experiences and experiences in the palace; On the other hand, he discussed with his concubine Su Xiuqin about officially moving around with Su Pingzhan.

Su Xiuqin fell in love with Princess Lingxian at first sight not long after returning to the emperor after three years of filial piety in Qingzhou.

Due to the three-year separation, he was inevitably estranged from his uncle, and he was fiercely opposed to the marriage by his uncle, and he was full of resentment. After Su Pingzhan refused to propose marriage to him, the young and vigorous Su Xiuqin simply took advantage of the convenience of her imperial guards at that time to ask the saint for marriage. After this matter became a foregone conclusion, Su Ping was so angry that he personally changed the family law, and the two uncles and nephews broke up and did not communicate again.

In the middle, Princess Lingxian was worried about her husband's future, and once went to Su Mansion to ask Su Pingzhan and Mrs. Deng for guilt - after all, Su Xiuqin was also the master at that time, and Su Pingzhan saw that Princess Lingxian was so considerate of the concubine, and she also softened her tone, and Mrs. Deng, who has always been kind to others, helped to speak...... However, after Princess Lingxian went back, she wanted her husband to go with her to visit her uncle and aunt again, Su Xiuqin thought about the scene of being used by her uncle in front of the family, and then she was ridiculed and ridiculed by her cousins, and her anger did not disappear, but she resolutely refused to allow it.

It dragged on like this.

But now for the sake of her daughter, Su Xiuqin had no choice but to put down her little face, prepare a gift, and take the princess to Su Mansion to ask for guilt.

Su Pingzhan also knew their intentions, although he felt that this nephew was a little too stubborn. However, whether it is their own blood and bones, do they be elders, and there will always be a few disobedient people when there are more juniors.

What's more, Princess Lingxian has always respected him very much, just like an ordinary person's niece and daughter-in-law.

So Su Pingzhan reunited with his nephew and nephew very happily, left them to eat, waved back left and right, Su Xiuqin did not beat around the bush, and directly talked about the marriage: "My nephew didn't expect Nian Chu to have the future he has now, but now that the holy decree has been issued, he also begged his uncle to give his nephew some guidance." ”

Su Ping stretched his beard and said lightly: "The first thing I want to tell you is to be prepared for Deng Guifei!" ”

"Uncle is worried, nephew is also aware. However, this marriage was proposed by the concubine, and when she entered the palace to thank her, she had to thank the concubine. Su Xiuqin said in embarrassment, he was not confused, although his wife was a princess, but the saint had always ignored this daughter, Wei Changfeng was rumored to be both talented and good-looking, and it was very likely that he would take over the Fengzhou Wei family's son in the future, the concubine would actually ask the saint to give Su Nianchu, not to mention the grievances between the concubine and the biological mother of the fairy princess, even if there is no grievance, why does the concubine do this?

Even if Concubine Deng Guifei doesn't have a daughter, doesn't she have a niece? Deng Wanwan, the sister of her beloved nephew Deng Zongqi, has to go into the palace to accompany her for three days! This Deng Wanwan has no one yet, and the concubine actually cares about the granddaughter of the enemy who at least nominally murdered her only son, and she also found such a good husband candidate for Su Nianchu, if she didn't have a plan, it was really a hell.

In fact, Su Xiuqin and his wife came to see Su Pingzhan today, Princess Lingxian thought shallowly, and only thought about reconciling with her husband's uncle and the owner of the Su family in Qingzhou, and her daughter would rely more on her daughter when she left the pavilion in the future; Su Xiuqin was afraid of being dragged into the water by Concubine Deng, so she specially asked her uncle to help her come up with an idea.

Su Pingzhan listened to his nephew's words, snorted, and said: "It's a perfunctory scene, I mean you don't often associate with Mingguang Palace because of this matter, so that you will ask someone to get caught in the net for a daughter's marriage!" ”

"But if the concubine keeps calling ...... in the future"

"Have you forgotten that there is another queen in the palace?" Su Pingzhan asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid the queen is thinking about how to stop the concubine from summoning you now!" ”

Su Xiuqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded herself for really caring about it, he hadn't heard of the fight between the concubine and the queen, but he was worried about his daughter and worried about other people in his family, and he even forgot such a simple truth. After settling down, Su Xiuqin asked again: "The elders in Ruiyu Hall love Wei Changfeng very much, and the nephew also loves the beginning, I'm afraid she doesn't like her husband's family, so what can I do?" ”

"In fact, the key is only one person, and that is Mrs. Song." Su Pingzhan said, "If it weren't for this old lady to protect her sons and grandchildren, Wei Huan would have set Wei Shengyi's status decades ago. No matter how good Wei Changfeng is, at most, he will take over the Duke of Changshan from Wei Huan as the eldest son and grandson. ”

"If I guessed correctly, Wei Changfeng's marriage should have been decided by Mrs. Song." Seeing that Su Xiuqin was silent, Su Pingzhan stroked the long beard under her chin, squinted her eyes, and said slowly, "Old Madam Song has two biggest wishes in her life, one is that Wei Zhenghong will recover completely, and the second is that Ruiyutang will be taken over by her grandson Wei Changfeng. I couldn't get sick in the previous season, so let's leave it alone. The latter one is how you are going to teach this child next! ”

Su Xiuqin muttered, "Please make it clear to your uncle." ”

Su Pingzhan said lightly: "Nian Chu's appearance and etiquette are not what Old Madam Song values the most, because Wei Changfeng is Wei Zhenghong's only son, and he has no relatives and brothers to assist. His opponent is his uncle who is dozens of years older than him, and Wei Shengyi also has three sons under his knees! Therefore, Mrs. Song's most urgent requirement for her granddaughter-in-law is to be able to assist Wei Changfeng! In fact, I am not optimistic about this marriage, not that Nian Chu is not good, Nian Chu has a bright appearance, a lively and bright temperament, and a gentle temperament, good etiquette, and a good heart, which is very flattering from the perspective of everyone's ladies. But Nian Chu is not the kind of good that Mrs. Song wants! What Mrs. Song wants is someone who is a well-connected person who has a city government in her chest and is desperate for Wei Changfeng, and who can share Wei Changfeng's worries inside and out! ”

"......" Su Xiuqin was silent for a long time, and then said, "What my uncle said is very true, but now the wood is complete." "If a daughter marries well, of course the father is happy. But if you marry and everyone envy you, but you don't have a good life inside, Su Xiuqin really can't rest assured. However, the decree has been made, and even if he can refuse the temptation of this marriage with all his heart, it is not his decision now.

Su Ping stroked his beard for a moment and said, "Princess Lingxian's foreign family is the Huo family. ”

I didn't understand what he was doing when he suddenly mentioned this matter, Su Xiuqin was stunned for a moment before saying: "Yes, but the Huo family is also very cold to her, and she has had occasional contacts during the New Year over the years, and she just sent someone to do it." ”

"Although it is cold, the scene has always been passable." Su Pingzhan said indifferently, "One of the daughters of the Huo family married Song Zaitian, the eldest son of Sikong Song Yuwang, and this Mrs. Huo is always Nianchu's cousin." ”

Su Xiuqin said blankly: "What does uncle mean?" ”

"Song Yuwang's only daughter, the former quasi-crown princess, and the old lady Song and Mrs. Song of Ruiyutang are both from the Song clan in Jiangnan, and they are very close by blood." Su Pingzhan said slowly, "This quasi-princess was given to the prince very early, and when she was young, the old lady of Jiangnan Hall was carefully taught by the old lady of Jiangnan Hall compared to the requirements of the mother's world, and she passed by Fengzhou when she returned to Beijing before, and lived in Fengzhou for a few months, accompanying her aunt Mrs. Song...... I inquired, it is said that both Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song appreciate the talents and virtues of this Miss Song. You can ask Nian Chu to visit her cousin more often, and ask the eldest lady of the Song family for advice by the way. ”

Only then did Su Xiuqin understand what Su Pingzhan meant, and said busily: "Yes." ”

"The eldest lady of the Song family is also the cousin of your third cousin Shen's nephew, and you can also ask Wei Changfeng for advice through her in the future." Su Pingzhan said lightly, "After all, Wei Changfeng only has one sibling sister, and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song are famous for favoring these two sisters and brothers. ”
