Chapter 254: Together in the same boat
She paused, and her tone became tougher: "When she comes back, I have to protect her well, but I can't let people hurt her anymore, otherwise I'll be so sorry for my sister." ”
Lan Guifei recalled what happened when she first entered the palace, she was pregnant, was diagnosed as a male fetus, was jealous of the queen, found her fault, and sent her to kneel under the scorching sun for two hours. It was her sister who saved her desperately, and did not hesitate to offend the queen. Later, when I gave birth, it was the same, everything was arranged by my sister, and the queen was not given the slightest chance, so that the second prince could be born peacefully. It's a pity that her sister protected her, but she was not able to protect herself. What an injustice the way of the world!
"Until Tachibana really returns to my side, this matter should not be said. Emperor Zhou commanded.
"Yes. ”
"One more thing. Lan Guifei said, "The marriage of the second prince, the concubine originally fell in love with Jiang Huawei, but His Majesty asked her to lead the troops at the border pass, and now she is impressive, I am afraid that she will not be willing to marry someone to be a princess." Have you ever thought about what kind of daughter-in-law you will find for our son?"
"I was going to discuss this matter with you tomorrow. Emperor Zhou said, "There is a fold on the table, you can open it and take a look." ”
Lan Guifei opened the fold, took a quick look, and said, "This is?"
"I sent someone to inquire, Qi Shuai's second daughter is gentle and generous, beautiful and moving, worthy of our son. Emperor Zhou said.
"Qi Shuai?" Lan Guifei paused for a moment, although she lived in the harem, she still knew a little about the situation ahead. Now the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is divided into five points, one point is in the hands of His Majesty himself, two points are in the hands of Marquis Xuanyuan, and one point is scattered in the hands of other generals, then there is another point in the hands of this Qi Shuai, whose strength is much greater than that of General Jiang back then. If you marry him, coupled with the support of His Majesty, then the second child will have enough strength to compete with the crown prince.
It's just that this Qi Shuai has never participated in the dispute between the two princes, even if the two had the intention to win over, they all returned, and His Majesty has never made a clear statement. Everyone thought that this Qi Shuai would only guard the northern border in his duty, unless someone raised an army to rebel, otherwise no matter how much trouble these two princes had, even if they poked a hole in the capital, he would not take a look here.
Your Majesty, is this a clear statement that you want to support the second child?
Concubine Lan was both happy and afraid.
In fact, it is no wonder that His Majesty would think about this, now when His Majesty is still there, the queen will recklessly hurt the people His Majesty cares about, in case His Majesty is gone, many people now will have no way to live in the future. In addition, this time the queen is desperate to deal with Orange An, which makes His Majesty make up his mind!
However, if this matter is clear, the second child will once again be a thorn in the side of the prince, and he will take any extreme measures when he knows that he will be deposed? After all, whether it is the position of the crown prince or the future throne, for a mother, the safety of her son is the most important thing.
"Don't like it?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Naturally not, Your Majesty thinks so much about the second prince, and the concubines are happy and moved in their hearts. Concubine Lan hurriedly said, "It's just that I can't believe it." Does Your Majesty know what the consequences of this marriage decree will be if it is issued?
"You are still rational and have not been blinded by these interests. Emperor Zhou said, "This is the result of my careful deliberation in the past few days. I gave them a chance, and they let me down too much, for the sake of the Great Zhou, for the safety of those I cared about, I had to make this decision. Perhaps it was too late for me to make this decision, and I should have made this decree a long time ago. ”
"Since it is the result of His Majesty's careful consideration, then the concubine will not say anything more. Concubine Lan said, "The concubine thanked Your Majesty Long En for the second prince. ”
"This holy order will be sent out when Tachibana returns. Emperor Zhou said, "Some things will come sooner or later, and some psychological preparations will be done." ”
Concubine Lan smiled and said, "No matter what happens, no matter when, the concubine will be by Your Majesty's side, no matter what decision Your Majesty makes, the concubine will support Your Majesty!"
"This is my good concubine!" Emperor Zhou said, "If she is still alive, she should always stand behind me like you, supporting me." ”
The moonlight is as cool as water.
At this moment, in the Qihou Mansion, there was silence and a sad atmosphere.
The white flags in the mansion have not been removed, but they are embellished with some joyful colors, for no other reason, tomorrow is the day when Su Zilin, the second son of the Marquis of Qi, will inherit the title of Marquis of Qi.
After experiencing Su Chengle's unconscious, Su Hongguang's death, the death of the eldest lady and Su Changle, the disappearance of Su Cheng'an, and the death of the old lady, the Qihou Mansion finally took a breath and did not let all the grief corrode.
"Mother, third sister. Su Yulian walked over slowly and sat on the stone bench, "Why don't you go to rest yet." ”
"Can't sleep. Su Jinyan shook her head, "I haven't slept well for a long time, and I always feel that everything is a dream." When I wake up, this Qihou Mansion, our home, is still the same as before. ”
"We still have to accept the reality, and we have to live our lives. Aren't our mothers and sons good?" Su Yulian persuaded.
"It's really impermanent. Su Jinyan said, "What a beautiful situation the eldest lady and mother and daughter were in the past, but they ended up like that, although the three of us have never been proud, but now we can reunite safely." I used to feel unwilling, I felt that I deserved better, but after watching Su Changle's ending, I was very satisfied with myself. Peace is the greatest blessing, who knows what kind of joke God will play with you in the future!"
"It's best that you can figure it out. Su Yulian hooked her lips slightly, "Contentment is always happy!"
The third lady held the hands of her two daughters and said, "It is the greatest blessing that we can stay together." It is also a good thing that Tang An and Zixuan can ignore the past suspicions, and when the Qihou Mansion is facing storms again and again, a few of us can still enjoy Qingfu. I don't complain about anyone, I just hope that Tangerine can come back safely, and our Qihou Mansion can't lose anyone. ”
"She'll come back safely. Su Yulian said, "I have always believed that she is not an ordinary person, and she will definitely not have an accident." ”
"You're all here. I saw the second lady and the eldest grandson Huiqing walking hand in hand.
The eldest grandson Huiqing said with a smile: "The moonlight is good tonight, we happen to get together, we might as well have a drink." Then someone brought drinks and side dishes.
She glanced at everyone and said: "A lot of things have happened in the Hou Mansion in recent days, and I am also very busy, it is inevitable that I will be negligent to you, and thanks to you for not caring and always helping me, I am grateful, I would like to give you a drink." ”
Su Yulian said: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, so many things have happened since you just married into the Qihou Mansion." Zixuan has always been busy with his own affairs, and the big and small things in this family are supported by you and the second lady, and we have to thank you, this glass of wine, we should respect you. ”
"We don't care who respects whom. The second lady smiled, "Although we are women's families, but thanks to our hand in hand and in the same boat, we can get through the difficulties, this glass of wine, we respect each other, but also respect ourselves." ”
Everyone drank a glass of wine, and Su Jinyan sighed slightly: "Actually, what the eldest brother didn't expect me to hear, he would actually give up the title of Qi Hou." Now that the Qihou Mansion is almost supported by the eldest brother, no one will object to him inheriting the throne, but I didn't expect that he would be willing to give up the throne to the second brother. ”
"A position is important, but the affection of flesh and blood is even more important. Eldest Sun Huiqing smiled slightly, "Zixuan cares about you flesh and blood relatives very much, but as long as he is there, the Qihou Mansion will not collapse, and you will not be wronged." In the past, although there were many people in our Hou Mansion, they may not be united, but now although there are only a few of us left, our hearts are together, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!"
She sighed slightly: "Right now, I'm waiting for Tachibana to come back safely." ”
Under the same moonlight, the same moon is as cool as water.
Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun leaned together to admire the moon, and at this time, Qin Yang entered and said a few words in Gu Tingjun's ear.
Gu Tingjun first paused slightly, and then said to Su Tang'an with a smile: "You wait here first, we have an acquaintance, I will go to greet you." ”
"Hmm. Su Juan nodded, looking forward to the acquaintance of the two.
"Your name is Qin Yang, right?" Su Tang'an asked, looking at Qin Yang.
"Yes, the subordinate is Qin Yang, young lady. Qin Yang hugged his fists and glanced at Su Cheng'an, but he didn't dare to look closely, he only felt that this young lady who had lost her memory was much cuter than the original young lady.
"Did we know each other before?" asked Su Juan.
"The subordinates follow Childe's side every day, and we naturally know each other. Qin Yang said, "Qing'er should be very happy to know the news that the young lady is still alive, but we are coming to Yuguo, we can't take her with us, leaving her alone in the Huainan Palace, for fear that she will leak her mouth, so I didn't tell her the news that you are safe and sound." But after the young lady went back, it was the biggest surprise. ”
"Qing'er, this name is so kind, our relationship should be very good, right?" asked Su Tang'an.
"Yes, though you are called servants of the master, you are sisters. Qin Yang said.
As he spoke, he only heard Gu Tingjun's excited voice coming, and said with a smile: "Tang An, look, who's coming?"
Su Tang'an raised her eyes and saw a woman in white standing next to Gu Tingjun, although she looked young, she had a feeling of seeing through the world, which made people unable to guess her age, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is she?"
