Chapter 431: Before the Wedding
Mingzhu shuddered. She thought of the palace people in Changxin Palace who died because they witnessed the Empress Dowager's illness.
"Later, I tried my best to learn that the doctor told the Empress Dowager that there was something in her head, and if she was not treated, her vertigo would get worse and worse, until she was bedridden, her vision was blurred, and her head would hurt so much that she couldn't bear it." Fu Cong's tone was very solemn, "The Empress Dowager asked, how can it be cured, and the doctor replied, unless you open your head and take out the contents inside." ”
So the Empress Dowager did not hesitate to kill this doctor. In fact, what the doctor said was still reliable, Mingzhu remembered that the Empress Dowager's condition was such a development process, but the statement of opening the head was too terrifying: "The Empress Dowager definitely doesn't believe it." ”
"Yes, she thinks that someone wants to take the opportunity to harm her, and she doesn't dare to gamble, and she is even more afraid that the leakage of her illness will cause turmoil, so she killed this person." Fu Cong smiled bitterly: "Even I was suspected, because I introduced the person." ”
The Empress Dowager said at the time that he was too selfish, and asked his son-in-law to ignore his sister and ignore orthodoxy for personal gain, and said that he had mistaken him. Political disagreement, he can't explain it, the rift between the two people can be regarded as something that can no longer be repaired.
Mingzhu knew that Fu Cong must be very sad, she put her hand on the back of Fu Cong's hand, and then realized that her father was very old, and there were already age spots on his hands, and she was a little sour: "Daddy, don't care what others say, I know what kind of person you are." ”
"Your aunt is sick and lonely, and she has been locked up in the palace for a long time, and her temperament is inevitably eccentric, you are more considerate of her, but you have to stay away from her, I am afraid that she will suddenly not be able to think about it one day, and even you will not tolerate it. Don't provoke her, in case she suddenly dies, it won't do us any good. The decline and division of the Fu family will begin tomorrow. The reason why I want to tell you these things is because I am afraid that you don't know anything, you only know how to be coquettish and angry, and you will be disliked. ”
Fu Zifei's father and daughter have entered Beijing, and the Empress Dowager will probably summon the father and daughter tomorrow, and then give Fu Mingcheng a position, supporting Fu Mingcheng and the Prime Minister's Mansion to fight, and there are people on both sides of the clan to support it, so the fate of family division is inevitable.
Mingzhu felt that her eyes were astringent, and she said softly: "Daddy, don't worry, I won't be willful anymore." "She will not let them suffer when they are old, nor will she let her brother and sister-in-law and nephews and nieces suffer, she will do everything she can to protect her relatives and the children in her womb, as well as herself.
On the nineteenth day of the winter month, the king of Lin'an and the lord of Wusun got married, and the northern foot and Wusun officially formed an alliance.
Mingzhu lived in her mother's house for two days, and the rumors outside were already flying all over the sky, Yu Wenchu asked people to send her clothes and jewelry the night before, saying that she wanted her to attend the wedding that day, as if she was afraid that she would be angry and refused to show up and lose the face of the British Palace.
Mingzhu got up early to dress up, and on this occasion, as usual, she had to wear a formal princess dress, so that she could look solemn. Before she could clean up, Su Lan came in and said softly: "The eldest girl is here, or the slave maid told her to ask her to wait outside?" ”
The big girl Su Lan said was Fu Zifei. Because she was the oldest among the girls in the Fu family, everyone in the prime minister's mansion called her the eldest girl, and Wenwen moved one back to become the second girl.
As Fu Cong expected, yesterday the Empress Dowager couldn't wait to summon the father and daughter, and asked Liang Youyi to send them back in person, and at the same time gave Mingzhu an order, asking her to take Fu Zifei to appear at Yu Wenyou's wedding, on the grounds that Fu Zifei grew up in Jiangnan and was not very familiar with the rules and etiquette in Beijing, so she should attend more such ceremonies and banquets.
As for why Fu Zifei didn't follow Fu's daughters to attend? Because the most critical part of the royal family's wedding can only be attended by members of the royal family, Fu Zifei must be with Mingzhu.
After Liang Youyi left, the female dependents of the Fu family were a little depressed, they originally had plans and plans to take Fu Zifei everywhere, but now that the Empress Dowager is intervening, they have to do things, but there is no favor at all. Especially the Empress Dowager also named Mingzhu to take people with her, which feels like Mingzhu, which means that from now on, the person who is most favored by the Empress Dowager is no longer Mingzhu, but Fu Zifei.
Su Lan was afraid that Mingzhu would feel uncomfortable, so she said that she didn't want Fu Zifei to come in.
Mingzhu doesn't care, she still has this belly: "Since she is here, let her in." There's no need to embarrass people about such trivial matters. "Before the enemy made a move, they fought on their own, how stupid can this be?
Fu Zifei came in with a silver-red white fox fur cloak, and said shyly and timidly: "Auntie, I'm not late, am I?" ”
"No, on the contrary, it came too early." Mingzhu glanced at Fu Zifei with a smile, she was wearing a royal blue cloud brocade leather jacket, a pomegranate red cloud brocade leather skirt underneath, combing a double bun, and wearing a gold-inlaid red coral small phoenix hairpin, which looked festive and beautiful, and was very playful and cute, which was very in line with the identity of one of the four concubines in the future.
Fu Zifei lowered his head a little embarrassed, and said softly: "It's the first time I've participated in this kind of banquet, and I don't know when to go out, for fear of missing my aunt's business, so I got up early...... I didn't expect to come early and disturb my aunt. Why don't I go back first? ”
This little girl's heart is really too much. Mingzhu's words just now were just a joke with her, but she didn't expect her to say so much. But he didn't explain, and asked her, "You came by yourself, right?" After getting the affirmation, he smiled and asked Su Mei: "Give the eldest girl a cup of hot ginger tea to warm up, and then let them prepare one more person's breakfast, I want the eldest girl to get up early, and she hasn't had time to eat yet." ”
"Thank you, Auntie." Fu Zifei's eyes lit up, she was afraid that Mingzhu would annoy her, and would find an excuse to embarrass her or dump her, and not take her to the wedding of King Lin'an, so she got up and dressed up a long time ago, only to hear that Mingzhu's side of the light was on and hurried over, naturally there was no breakfast. I thought I was going to be hungry, but I didn't expect Mingzhu to be so gentle and considerate.
"What's this? We are a family. Mingzhu called her over, put a pair of colorful gems and pearls on her head, and asked her to look in the mirror: "This is the same as the gemstone bracelet I gave you that day, and it was all given to me by the Empress Dowager back then." I'm still wearing a handicap.,I didn't wear this flower.,It's only suitable for a little girl to wear.,Yesterday I specially asked people to go back to the house to get it.,Match it for you.,It's the most suitable.。 ”
Fu Zifei looked at the mirror for a while, then looked back at Mingzhu, and a thin layer of mist appeared in his eyes: "Auntie, you treat me so well." ”
