Chapter 127: Empress Qiu
"How did it come to that?" In the Weiyang Palace, Queen Qiu was very troubled, took the letter written by Wen Zhiqi, and sighed for a long time, "I also plan to invite Mrs. Wei into the palace in two days to see if there is a chance to mention this matter......"
After Wei Changying and his wife returned to the imperial capital, they sent people to the table on the same day to request to meet the new emperor and the new queen.
And Queen Qiu summoned Wei Changying only the day before yesterday, and expressed to her in person the gratitude for raising her children in that era with the respect of the queen, and Wen Yulan, who was canonized as Princess Xian'an, personally saluted, and the atmosphere can be said to be harmonious.
According to Queen Qiu's thoughts, mentioning the marriage of the younger generation for the first time seems to be too eager, and she has to meet again once or twice.
But when she turned her head and knew that Shen Shuyan had many relatives, the queen decided to try to find out Wei Changying's style when they met for the second time, thinking that this was already calculated, fortunately, she was a man on her side, and it was not ashamed to say it - but who would have thought that she hadn't met Wei Changying for the second time here, and Shen Shuyan actually had a master!
Seeing that Empress Qiu was so worried, Sun Mo, who entered the palace as a small chamberlain in the Wei Dynasty and was promoted to the head of Weiyang Palace by her appreciation, carefully owed the debt, and said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, in fact, Miss Shen Si is excellent, but it is also because she is the daughter of the Shen family. The eldest prince has a noble status, why worry about not having a lady to match? ”
Sun Mo was very apprehensive when he said this, in fact, what he meant in his words was to remind Queen Qiu that Shen Shuyan was the daughter of the Shen family in Xiliang - the queen was born as a country woman, just like Zhong Jie in the past, he thought that no matter how noble the scholar family was, he was a courtier, and when the former Wei Dynasty died, how many of those queen concubines were not from famous families?
Now that the Dayong Dynasty Wei, isn't it a matter for the dignified son to marry the daughter of the valve?
At most, it is more courteous, and the marriage is done in a grand way!
But I didn't notice that the concubines in the six palaces of the new emperor are not from the strictly trained Kabuki people in the family, and the most noble is the righteous daughter - even if there are one or two, in fact, they are all private daughters who are not recognized by the family.
The daughters of serious scholars, even the daughters of distant branches, none of them entered the palace as concubines.
The Wen family, who has a shallow background, even if he becomes the emperor, is still not recognized by the scholar clan and is ashamed to marry.
Empress Qiu didn't know this truth, but Sun Mo, who had been serving in the palace in the past, knew it.
The problem is that he didn't dare to say it too carefully - Queen Qiu has four sons and one daughter, and now there is only one son and one daughter alive. Judging from the queen's usual attitude towards her biological children, she attaches more importance to her son, so that she knows that the Shen family looks down on Wen Zhiqi, and has never considered marrying Shen Shuyan to Wen Zhiqi, God knows what she will do?
Sun Mo couldn't afford to offend the queen, but he didn't dare to offend the Shen family.
Sure enough, Queen Qiu didn't hear the meaning of his words, and was still sighing: "But Qi Er specially wrote a letter to mention this Miss Shen Si, it can be seen that he likes this Miss Shen Si!" "Wen Zhiqi is now at the age of saying that he is married, and Wen Yanzi is not very optimistic about this sister-in-law - but he is a prince anyway.
Of course, Queen Qiu wanted to pick a good choice for her son, and because the first three sons were gone, and this young son had been murdered by a concubine, the queen felt very sorry for him, and was determined to find him a wife who was in love with each other, so she wrote to ask him what he liked.
In fact, Wen Zhiqi knew the gap between the families, but because of his special status, no one would tell him whether it was the Shen family or the Wei family: "In fact, our scholar clan looks down on you upstarts from the countryside at all, even if your father is the emperor!" In our eyes, you are just a bun of dirt buns. And so on.
Therefore, Wen Zhiqi, who was half-understood, confided his heart to Queen Qiu with a sense of luck.
And Empress Qiu thinks that Miss Shen, everyone is beautiful, and after the famous family, it is of course no problem to give her son, the eldest son of the current emperor, she saw that Sun Mo just said a comforting word, thought for a while, sent the others away, and asked him in a low voice: "You said, this is just a word of receiving a token and spreading the news, is there a ...... Is it possible to make this happen? ”
As soon as Sun Mo heard this, he secretly screamed, but now that the queen asked alone, she had to answer, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "If you go back to your mother's words, I'm afraid this won't work, right?" After all, it was said outside that it was Mrs. Wei's younger brother, the fifth son of Ruiyu Hall! What Miss Shen Si promised was the eldest son of Wei Wugongzi's cousin...... The rumors of such people are nine out of ten. ”
Empress Qiu's eyes showed disappointment, looked at him, and frowned slightly: "Is there really no way at all?" ”
“…… Minions are incompetent! At this time, it was still cold, but Sun Mo felt sweaty, and he said with difficulty, "Or can Niangniang ask the meaning of the saint?" ”
He didn't dare to tell Empress Qiu about the mentality of the scholars, and he didn't dare to let Empress Qiu try to sabotage Shen Wei's marriage according to her ideas - he could only move out of Wen Yanzi.
When Queen Qiu heard the word "saint", she lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and said lightly: "Don't you know yet?" The saint stays at Shan Guifei's place every day, and if I want to see the saint now, I have to see the concubine's face! ”
"Niangniang, you are serious!" Sun Mo hurriedly persuaded him, "The Holy Lord also visited Concubine Shan often because she was pregnant." As far as the minions know, the saint has been busy with the affairs of the court these days, and rarely returns to the harem. Besides, you are the queen of the middle palace, how can Concubine Shan compare with you? ”
“…… That's it. Queen Qiu was silent for a moment, but shook her head, put away her son's letter in disappointment, and said, "You go out first, let me be quiet." ”
Sun Mo couldn't help but say: "Actually, Niangniang, you should call yourself 'Bengong'." ”
Queen Qiu didn't care about his mouth, and laughed at herself: "I can't change it for a while......"
"But Shan Guifei and they have all changed their words, if you don't change it, I'm afraid it will ......" Sun Mo's words have already been obvious, if it weren't for the fact that he had no foundation in the palace, it was all thanks to Queen Qiu's appreciation that he had his current status, and Queen Qiu's generosity, which made him feel a little grateful in his heart, with his many years of experience in serving nobles, how could he not say this kind of thing openly.
- The queen still used the self-title of the concubine, but the concubine changed it first. If Queen Qiu could calm the scene, everyone would say that she was approachable and improper. But Queen Qiu clearly doesn't have that momentum, and in this case, she can only rely on honor guards, titles, etc., to support the majesty that a queen should have.
Especially, in front of the concubines.
Now the middle palace is Queen Qiu, but Concubine Shan is in the limelight - she used to have to give a salute to Queen Qiu, but since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, she has saved the courtesy. Queen Qiu came together with her, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Concubine Shan is more like a queen.
But I didn't like it......
For a moment, the master and servant in the hall were silent.
And under the window at the back of the hall, pretending to clean up the flowers and plants, eavesdropped on a little palace maid, and quietly left the Weiyang Palace while no one was paying attention.
Half an hour later, the news had already reached Duanmu Xinmiao's hands.
Duanmu Weimiao was also there, very worried: "The new dynasty was built, you put the eyeliner in front of the queen, in case someone finds out ......"
"It's not that I took the initiative to distribute it, I have treated them a few times earlier, and they are willing to repay this favor - not to mention that if the new emperor does not have time to take care of the palace people to install people now, how can it be so convenient in the future?" Duanmu Xinmiao said seriously, "And Shan is so strong in the palace, do you really want to watch the branch crush our sect?" ”
Her voice was low, "It doesn't matter if we two sisters are, but Sui'er...... Cousin Sanssouci is more reliable than those in the branch, right? ”
"It's just that the queen is obviously weak, and she may not be able to help but get a good order." Duanmu Weimiao used to be the crown princess, and she was also carefully taught by the family in her early years about the dispute between the palace and the concubine, and she was no stranger to it, so she shook her head slightly at this moment and said, "I still think it's too dangerous." "She values her only son, but she also feels sorry for her sister.
Last time, Duanmu Xinmiao went to the epidemic for her nephew, which made her heart like a knife. Now that she has to make calculations for her nephew's future, Duanmu Weimiao feels really sorry for her sister.
Duanmu Xinmiao smiled: "But as long as I do things, you don't think it's not dangerous, eldest sister." You have to do it all for me, so you can rest assured. ”
"But there's less and less I can do to help you now." Duanmu sighed slightly, "There are more and more places that are dragging you down." ”
"My sister still has to talk about dragging, eldest sister, what you said hurts my heart." Duanmu Xinmiao thought for a moment and stood up, "The eldest son of the emperor is actually interested in the fourth young lady of the Shen family, I think it is better to discuss this matter with the third sister-in-law." ”
The third sister-in-law she said was naturally Wei Changying.
Duanmu Weimiao agreed with this: "Mrs. Wei is the current head of the Shen family, and she has many people under her, and our sisters are weak now, so it should be so if we can let her take a hand." ”
So in the afternoon of the next day, Duanmu Xinmiao came to the door in person and told Wei Changying about the incident, and did not hide that he had eyeliner in front of Queen Qiu: "According to the news from the little palace maid, Queen Qiu doesn't seem to know that it is impossible for a family like us to give her daughter to her son." ”
"She still wants to break up this marriage?" Wei Changying was glad that she had received Wei Changxu's token, and asked Wei Changfeng to spread the word. In this way, even if Queen Qiu really mentions it, the Shen family will have something to say, otherwise even if they refuse to marry, they will inevitably pay a heavy price on this eyebone. However, she was also a little worried about Queen Qiu's innocence, "Concubine Shan is now favored by the Sixth Palace, I just heard about it when I came back, she is the righteous daughter of your splendid Duanmu Branch, and she has no worries with you these days, I'm afraid it's a lot of pressure, right?" ”
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have acquiesced in those palace people passing the news to me." It's just that you also know that the two of us sisters don't have any manpower in their hands, and my eldest sister has long seen through these things, and I'm not intrigue-so just tell the third sister-in-law, see what the third sister-in-law means? ”
Wei Changying smiled and said, "This is just right, I have two people here, and I don't know how to place them." It's a good opportunity for you to tell me the news today. ”
