Chapter 188: The Princess's Marriage (Part II)
Such news is not good news, and there is too little good news.
Wei Changying accepted the letter and things with joy, and generously rewarded her with a pair of silver collars - when the building was gone, she couldn't wait to open the letter and read it first.
Xu is Xiliang war is urgent, Shen Zangfeng wrote it in a hurry, and the handwriting seems to be very sloppy: it is roughly to report safety, and then condolences to her about pregnancy and childbirth, and asked whether the mother and child are Kangtai, and how is Shen Xuanfu's 'wife'...... After saying the short words in the homely routine, he said a few sweet words, and talked about the things he gave her for her birthday this time.
Because there was nothing to produce in Xiliang, Shen Zangfeng wanted to send something to his wife to celebrate her birthday, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while. However, he had set a trap with his boss and Du Lieutenant Shen Youjia to ambush Di Dadan Yu Muxiuer, although he made Mushuer escape, but killed his tent Ten Eagles. The soldier found a piece of blood 'jade' the size of a thumb from one of the eagles, and because the 'jade' and 'color' were excellent, he knew that it was worth a lot of money, so he did not dare to swallow it 'privately', so he handed it over in exchange for merit.
Shen Zangfeng saw it at Shen Youjia, so he exchanged one of his daggers with him, and 'handed over' to the craftsman to make a pair of winged bird earrings, which was not only a birthday gift for his wife, but also a complete set of hairpins with the 'jade' pair of hairpins given by Mrs. Su before.
After reading the letter, Wei Changying happily opened the brocade box sent with the letter, but saw that the winged bird earrings inside were really 'jade' and 'color', red, 'glamorous', and bright, as if the blood that had not yet congealed was also there. The question is...... The carving of the winged bird is definitely not as good as the pair of hairpins given by Mrs. Su, not to mention, even the red gold ear trays with edging also show the roughness of the craftsman's craftsmanship.
No matter how you look at it, it's a waste of a good piece of blood 'jade'......
Not only Wei Changying, but also the Huang family and others who came up hugged the mood of "Mrs. gave the hairpin 'Yan' to press the group hairpin, which is usually not good for jewelry, and now the son can be regarded as making up the matching earrings", but when he saw such a pair of earrings, he was disappointed, and really felt that Shen Zangfeng's 'wave' fee: Such a good blood 'jade' is rare to see in the valve reading, Gongzi, you can't find a suitable craftsman in Xiliang, so you can't send the original stone, let's find the Ye family in the imperial capital to do it......
However, because it was sent by Shen Zangfeng, and it was sent from Xiliang in the pinching day, Wei Changying was disappointed and immediately put it on happily, ordered someone to take the bronze mirror up, looked left and right at the mirror, and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”
Everyone will not sweep her interest, and say that it looks good.
Because of the letter and this pair of earrings, Wei Changying was in a good mood for the next few days.
But at the end of May, a sudden news came out of the palace, which surprised her: Madame Zhenyi was seriously ill, so sick that she was on the verge of death.
The saint has always regarded the concubines who have lost interest as nothing, even if Mrs. Zhenyi is a lady from the first grade, the saint will not visit her now.
However, the virtuous queen and the noble concubine wanted to do their best, and as soon as they went, Mrs. Zhenyi dragged her last breath and begged them for one thing - hoping to see the decline of the 'daughter' before she died.
Mrs. Zhenyi also has the eleventh prince under her name, Shenbo, who has been crowned the king of Yi, and it is not good to mention only Anji and not Shenbo. But Mrs. Zhenyi also has a reason: "The concubine is from a humble background, and she is very ignorant, how can she raise a princess?" Over the years, Ying'er has had many misdeeds between her life and her daughter, and she is really worried about her! Fortunately, Bo'er is a prince, and he moved to Jiamu Palace after he was ten years old, and he has his own mentors and friends, so he will not be delayed by cheap concubines. Now the concubine is afraid that she has been sick and ignorant over the years, so that Ying'er has no good name outside, and no one will want her to ...... in the future."
When she said this, both the queen and the concubine inevitably wanted to comfort her, and they all said that Princess Anji was actually fine, which made Mrs. Zhenyi relax and take care of herself.
However, Mrs. Zhenyi didn't believe this, insisted that her life would not last long, and she was worried that Princess Anji, who had a fierce reputation, would not be wanted, so she must watch Princess Anji descend, at least make a marriage before she can close her eyes, and ask the queen and the concubine to fulfill her.
When the queen and the concubine saw her like this, they more or less guessed in their hearts that she had taken a fancy to someone, so they made a tentative speech.
But if they don't agree, where will Mrs. Zhenyi say? Pushing back and forth like this, Mrs. Zhenyi vomited blood...... Angie, who was hiding behind the screen, suddenly became anxious, and ran out to serve her while saying that she didn't want to descend, ask for 'sex', and wait for the concubine to live alone for the rest of her life...... Mrs. Zhenyi prayed again on the couch with tears in her eyes......
The Doujin Palace was 'messy', and the queen and the concubine were also 'messy' in their hearts, so they hurriedly left first. When I returned to my respective palaces, I had to summon my confidants to discuss: "Looking at Zhenyi's appearance, it really won't take too long, and Anji is indeed seen as a flood beast outside, and I really don't know who in the Shi clan dares to ask for her in the future." ”
"Mrs. Zhenyi has fallen out of favor for a long time, and Princess Anji is not favored by the saints, and the mother and daughter can only count on the mercy of Weiyang and Mingguang Palace." The henchmen of the two palaces all said this, "That's why I'm begging my mother to agree like this today." ”
"It's just that the palace got the news before, and the person Anji likes is Wei Changfeng." It was Concubine Deng Guifei who said this, she frowned and said, "Now that Wei Changfeng has made a marriage with Anji's nephew 'daughter' and Lingxian's 'daughter' Su Nianchu, who does Zhen want Princess Anji to descend to now?" ”
Empress Gu said this: "Previously, the Duanmu clan instigated Qingxin because of his young 'daughter' Wei Changjuan, and in order to exonerate Wei Changjuan, Anji seemed to have a fancy to Wei Changfeng and had a long conversation with Wei Changying 'privately' to the palace. The main palace later made people pay attention, and at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, sure enough, Anji took advantage of the large number of people and took the initiative to get close to Wei Changyun, and Wei Changying didn't seem to see her, so she let people 'expose' the news to the Deng family, and sure enough, the Deng family brought down the palace's heart, and immediately told the matter through the desire of the saint to eradicate the valve for a long time. The palace also took advantage of this matter to give the Deng clan the enemy of Ruiyutang. Now Mrs. Zhenyi wants Anji to drop quickly...... Could it be that Fengzhou is over there? ”
Yun said: "But didn't the messenger who delivered the decree before say that Chang Shan Gong had already agreed to this 'door' marriage? ”
"Didn't the Song family also urge Song Zaishui to return to Beijing to get married? But later Song Zaishui broke his appearance, and they were 'embarrassed' to marry such a 'girl' to Xun'er - can this blame them for not fulfilling their promise? Who outside doesn't say that the Song family is the one who has been wronged? Empress Gu snorted and said, "An old fox like Wei Huan, what did he agree to?" He swore to heaven that he couldn't believe it! Do you think he will leave himself a good chance to break his oath? ”
The Yun family groaned for a moment and said: "It's just that Su Nianchu is the 'daughter' of the Su family, and she is still the nephew 'daughter' of Her Royal Highness Princess Anji...... Her Royal Highness Princess Anji can give Wei Changfeng the help that is not as good as Su Nianchu! That is, Her Royal Highness the princess herself is more powerful, and she is more spicy than Su Nianchu. But can those things in the Wei family be solved by being spicy? ”
"That's right." Queen Gu narrowed her eyes and said, "But this time on Linchuan's birthday, Wei Changying didn't go to the banquet because she wanted to guard her aunt's filial piety, and Anji didn't see her after looking around, so she went to find her sister-in-law Shen Zangning, and muttered something in private...... Anji was not familiar with Shen Zangning before, but now she asked her to pass the word, obviously in a hurry! And keep staring at Wei Changying? ”
"A few days ago, Princess Lingxian sent cherries into the palace, and invited everyone in the palace to try new dishes in the princess's mansion?" Yun suddenly thought of it!
Empress Gu frowned and said, "If Lingxian is doing this to deliver news for Wei Changying, who has filial piety and is inconvenient to enter the palace, then it seems that it should not be Wei Changfeng who wants Mrs. Zhenyi to let Anji go down now." ”
How can a mother-in-law help her half-sister rob her 'son-in-law'?
The Yun family pondered for a moment and said, "The maid thinks that Mrs. Zhenyi has fallen out of favor for many years, and although Her Royal Highness Princess Anji is spicy, she acts in her own way. Her Royal Highness Princess Anji had injured Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin before, and now that she wants to ask for Niangniang's grace, especially good people will definitely not dare to count on it. Why don't you agree to Mrs. Zhenyi first? After all, His Royal Highness King Yi's unfilial piety, since Niangniang hasn't talked about it with the saint. Why don't you ask the Holy Lord to show mercy to Mrs. Zhenyi this time? ”
Queen Gu understood what she meant, and couldn't help but smile: "That's what I said, a princess is going to fall after all, so what's wrong with accumulating virtue this time?" Mrs. Zhenyi is not only a 'girl', how can Shen Bo also raise it under her name! She is so sick now, she has to see that her children and daughters have become a family, so that she can leave without worry! ”
The queen thought that she could push the boat down the river and agree to Mrs. Zhenyi's request, so that Shenbo could also get married quickly - lest he be filial piety and use the wedding to delay Chenguang who went to the fiefdom. Concubine Deng also thought of it, and immediately put aside the matter of who Mrs. Zhenyi wanted to drop Princess Anji to, and quickly discussed with Yao Tao: "Gu's cheap 'woman' will definitely agree, what should this palace do?" ”
Yao Tao thought about it for a while, and said: "If the queen wants to be sympathetic to Mrs. Zhenyi and Princess Anji, it is not easy for the mother to stop her directly." How about this, the mother first allowed Mrs. Zhenyi, and waited for her to say who she wanted, and then stopped her, how about this? ”
Deng Guifei thought about it, and only this method could stop Queen Gu.
Since the two concubines had made a plan, they each sent someone to Doujin Palace to tell Mrs. Zhenyi that they were willing to state their wishes for her in front of the saint, but I didn't know if Mrs. Zhenyi had a candidate for a concubine?
Mrs. Zhenyi knew that the two sides must have their own plans for asking such a question, but now she has no way to bypass these two 'daughters' who have descended directly except for the blessing of God, so she had to pray silently for a moment and said: "I heard that Huo Zhao's 'jade', the eldest son of the Huo clan in Yunxia, is humble and generous, and has the grace to tolerate people, maybe he can tolerate Ying'er?" ”
Knowing the candidate for Mrs. Zhenyi, the queen and the concubine were a little surprised at first: "Huo Zhao 'jade'? This person doesn't seem to be very famous among the children of the famous 'door'? How did Zhenyi's mother and 'daughter' find out? ”
Some palace people reminded: "Her Royal Highness Princess Anji was close to Wei Changying before, and Huo Shenyuan, the cousin of Huo Zhao's 'jade', is Situ Weiyu, and is the disciple of Wei Changying's uncle." Xu Wei Changying recommended him to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"In this way, is it still the handiwork of Rui Yutang?" Empress Gu pondered for a while and decided to pretend not to know, "Come and prepare, this palace is going to Xuanming Palace!" ”
Deng Guifei smiled slightly: "Ruiyutang, Anji actually dared to collude with Ruiyutang." Let's look at the Gu family's cheap 'woman' tongue and lotus 'flower', can you persuade the saint to follow Ruiyutang's wishes? ”
However, the two concubines went to the Shengshang to have a 'lip' war of words, in the end, Queen Gu was better, and when Deng Guifei said that the matter might be Ruiyutang behind her back, she immediately reminded the saint with something in her words: "The concubine certainly pities Mrs. Zhenyi and Anji, the child, but Huo Zhao's 'jade' is the son of the Yunxia Huo family, whether the Huo family is willing to be the master, we still don't know?" ”
These words made the saint immediately think of Rui Yutang's strange obedience - Wei Huan is a very deep city, Wei Changfeng is the only grandson he personally cultivated, and his wife, Mrs. Song, who also wants to support his 'sexual' life, how could he agree to the royal arrogant marriage?
Empress Gu's words were tantamount to implying that the Holy Lord could once again test whether the Wei family really planned something by asking the meaning of the Huo family?
