Chapter 224: An Awkward Wedding Banquet
Murong Jing came with a lot of worry about her father, but she never expected that she would be scolded by her father.
In particular, her father has been helping outsiders without thinking about her, which makes her even more angry.
The person who can make the high-ranking queen mother angry and dare not speak, there is only one Murong Tai in the world.
No way, who let this be her father, and her father is still sick.
"Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang's favorite granddaughter, even if she doesn't marry into the imperial city, she will have a better future......"
"Father, you only understand other people's daughters and granddaughters, and you also feel sorry for me!"
Murong Jing said, "Every step I have taken in this palace has been difficult, just like the assassination of the Jiang family, how many times have I escaped death?" ”
"The fate of the women in the palace is something they can control, just duckweed in the turbulent waves."
"You...... Full of crooked reasoning! ”
Murong Tai didn't want to argue with Murong Jing anymore, what their father and daughter said were fundamentally two things in the world.
If it continues, they will probably quarrel even more fiercely.
He waved his hand impatiently, "You can go, I don't need someone of such noble status like you to serve the sick in front of my sickbed." ”
"That's it, father, you can recuperate in peace, I'll come back in a few days." Murong got up quietly.
There are many things that really can't be said in three words, especially now that my father is angry, everything she says and does is wrong and wrong.
Murong Jing decided to wait for his father's health to improve, and then talk about Empress Jiang and the Jiang family.
Here, the old general drove the Queen Mother who came to visit the sick out of the room, and the commotion was very loud.
The old general slacked off the Queen Mother, and the rest of the Murong Mansion didn't dare.
Brother and sister-in-law, concubine, a large number of people are respectfully guarding the courtyard, ready to listen to orders at any time.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, my father has been in the army all his life, and he has always had this temper."
The eldest brother Murong Zhuo came closer, "Don't take it to heart. ”
"Thank you, brother, for your explanation," Murong Jing nodded, "The Mourning family knows the truth." ”
"Speaking of which, it's indeed the fault of the mourning family, but the starting point of everything I did was for the emperor and our Murong family to be better......
The two brothers naturally understood her difficulties, "Queen Mother, don't worry, father is here to appease us." ”
Murong Jing nodded, "The responsibility of taking care of my father will be handed over to you." ”
At this time, the eldest Murong Zhuo's wife, Yu Shi, stepped forward.
"Queen Mother, the meals are ready, can you eat here at noon and then go back to the palace?"
"Yes, you have lived in the palace for a long time, and it is rare to go back to your parents' house once, and it just so happens that Princess Nianyun is also ......"
"Forget it," Murong Jing shook his head, "Staying here will only make my father even more unhappy." ”
"The mourning family is going back to the palace, and my father's illness is always being informed."
"Yes, congratulations to the Queen Mother!"
Seeing that Murong Jing insisted on leaving, everyone knew that the old general's words had more or less hurt the Queen Mother.
The Murong family sent Murong Jing away, and the relieved Yu family whispered beside her husband, "Is my father too strict with the Queen Mother?" ”
"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the matter of Queen Jiang is indeed miserable, but what can the Queen Mother do? As long as there is the slightest movement in the palace, the sky will fall apart outside......"
"Alas," Murong Zhuo let out a long sigh, "Father is a fiery temper that is not known on the battlefield, and I don't understand the kind of deception in the palace, so I can only try my best to relieve him!" ”
"And the Jiang family, we have to treat it well, in the final analysis, my father's anger is still related to the resentment of Mrs. Jiang."
Yu nodded, "I understand, I'll walk around the Jiang family more and take a look......"
Su Nianyun accompanied the Queen Mother into the carriage.
As soon as Murong Jing got into the carriage, he leaned on the carriage tiredly.
"Queen Mother, are you not feeling well?" Su Nianyun hurriedly touched Murong Jing's wrist.
Murong Jing grabbed Su Nianyun's hand instead, "The mourning family is fine, you came here today, you must have known about the rumors spread outside, right?" ”
Su Nianyun nodded.
Murong Jing sighed, "Do you also think that it is irresponsible for the mourning family to know the truth but not deal with Empress Zheng?" ”
Su Nianyun shook his head, "The Queen Mother is in charge of the Six Palaces, there are many things to consider, and there must be a reason why the Queen Mother does not act." ”
"Sure enough, it's my daughter, always with me."
Murong Jing held Su Nianyun in her arms, and she was exhausted and drew strength from Su Nianyun.
After sending the Queen Mother into the palace gate, Su Nianyun got into his carriage and walked to Chen's mansion.
When he returned to Chen's mansion, he received an invitation to the prince's wedding.
Su Nianyun is the daughter of the Queen Mother, and it is not wrong to invite her in the number of rites.
The wedding day of the East Palace should have been a rare lively day in the capital.
However, affected by the rumors that Empress Zheng poisoned Empress Jiang, many ministers who were good friends with the Jiang family did not attend the prince's wedding banquet.
It's just that a few ministers don't come, which won't make the prince angry, and when he becomes the emperor in the future, he will always be able to find a place to come.
The most important thing is that the father did not come.
Because of the influence of rumors, the queen mother did not dare to come, for fear of adding to her son's blockage.
And the father didn't want to come because of the things that the queen mother did.
This is the most faceless thing for him.
Attending the prince's wedding banquet, Su Nianyun could also feel the prince's embarrassment and displeasure.
It was expected that the atmosphere of the wedding banquet would be bad, and she didn't want to attend it.
However, there was no reason why she should not come.
If the marriage was earlier, she could also say that it was inconvenient for her to be pregnant.
But she has been giving birth for three months, and she really can't find any other excuse.
So she had no choice but to take part in it, and she sat in silence among the princesses, large and small.
Princess Shunyang did not appear, and she claimed to be sick.
But all the women knew that it was because she once again asked the emperor to marry Xiao Xiaohou, which was frustrated.
The emperor, who has always loved Qingyang and Shunyang, spoke harshly about Shunyang this time.
Just as the emperor was angry because of Empress Zheng's murder of Empress Jiang and framing Concubine Li's child, Shunyang could be said to have hit the muzzle of the gun directly.
The emperor directly took Shunyang first.
Shunyang was frightened when he saw his father angry for the first time, and then he fell ill.
didn't see Shunyang, which was a big regret for Su Nianyun.
Because in her impression, she almost forgot what Shunyang looked like.
But it was this woman who might be the culprit who caused her misery in her previous life.
Su Nianyun was in a state of loss, when she saw Qingyang looking at her.
Su Nianyun smiled at her in a friendly manner, but Qingyang turned his head arrogantly.
Qingyang has always bullied Su Nianyun, although the prince and the emperor are now centrifuged, but she doesn't want to be looked down upon by others, especially Su Nianyun.
She tried her best to maintain a lofty momentum in Su Nianyun, but she didn't know, but Su Nianyun had a touch of sympathy for her.
Because in the near future, her reliance will fall one after another.
First, several crimes of the queen were exposed one by one, and she was demoted to a concubine and a nobleman by the emperor, and finally entered the cold palace.
Then there was the prince's unworthiness, incompetence and violence, who was deprived of the prince's position and then assigned to the border......
And Princess Qingyang was even more miserable, being married to a widower to fill the house.
However, Shunyang is not included in this.
I think it's because she is not Queen Zheng's biological daughter, so the impact is relatively small.
It is also possible that she reached some agreement with Zhao Chengji, the eighteenth prince.
In short, not seeing her to the wedding banquet today may be a precursor to breaking away from Empress Zheng's faction.
