Chapter 289: Mother and Daughter
It can be said that in addition to the slight blood relationship of the same lineage, Xiao Shaozhang, the king of Pingliang who has no fief, and the old king Wu of the former Zongzheng Mansion of the Great Qi Sect, these two people actually have no emotional foundation with Xiao Shaoyuan and Xiao Yuanjin.
However, relying on the so-called blood and family affection, these two people are not less with Xiao Shaoke, and they are thinking about Xiao Shaoyuan and Xiao Yuanjin.
Xiao Shaoyuan is as impatient as he is with these three, but for the eldest princess Xiao Yuanjiu, Xiao Shaoyuan still has a father-daughter relationship.
When Xiao Yuanjin took the initiative to take the eldest princess Xiao Yuanjiu out of Huangjue Temple, Xiao Shaoyuan had already sent someone to Huangjue Temple.
However, after Xiao Yuanjiu learned that Xiao Shaoyuan did not plan to take back his women who were stranded in Huangjue Temple, but planned to give them a sum of money so that they could be properly dismissed, Xiao Yuanjiu chose to continue to stay in Huangjue Temple.
She can understand Xiao Shaoyuan, who was forced to accept those women, and didn't want to see those women who would make him recall the unpleasant past, but at the same time, she also knew very well that her biological mother Zhang Meiren would definitely not be willing to take the severance money back to her parents' house.
The Zhang family is just an ordinary family of ordinary petty officials, and when she returns to her parents' house, her life is definitely not as good as staying in Xiao Yuanjin's Zhaowang Mansion.
When she returned to her parents' home, she was an old woman who was disliked by the former emperor of Daqi, but if she stayed in King Zhao's Mansion, she would become the only woman by Xiao Shaoyuan's side.
This is only a world difference in status, and on the material level, the treatment of Zhaowangfu must be several grades better than that of the Zhang family.
Xiao Yuanjiu knew that with Zhang Meiren's character, she would definitely take the opportunity of Xiao Shaoyuan to pick up her biological daughter, that is, Xiao Yuanjiu, and couldn't help but say that she would rely on it directly.
But how could Xiao Yuanjiu cause such trouble to Xiao Shaoyuan and Xiao Yuanjin?
That is King Zhao's Mansion, which belongs to Xiao Yuanjin, Xiao Shaoyuan is Xiao Yuanjin's biological father, and it is reasonable for him to live in it.
The second prince and the little milk baby of the late emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, these two are the half-brothers of the eldest prince.
Xiao Shaoke, who has to live there, is not only Xiao Yuanjin's uncle, but also has been a classmate with Xiao Yuanjin for many years.
They moved in, and she, Xiao Yuanjin's younger sister, could barely say anything about it, but Zhang Meiren, why did she live in Xiao Yuanjin's Zhaowang Mansion with Xiao Yuanjiu when Xiao Shaoyuan had already decided to dismiss their concubines?
Xiao Yuanjiu didn't want to block Xiao Shaoyuan, nor did she want to make trouble for Xiao Yuanjin, plus she had a special identity, and she had a confused biological mother like Zhang Meiren, a good marriage and a husband or something, Xiao Yuanjiu didn't expect it for a long time, so she simply chose to continue to live in Huangjue Temple.
However, Zhang Meiren, who she wants to accompany and watch, is obviously not uncommon to Xiao Yuanjiu's good intentions.
Zhang Meiren doesn't want a stable life with few desires, she just wants to live a better life with Princess Celestia than before.
Hearing Yu Zizhen ask her if the eldest princess didn't know at all, Zhang Meiren subconsciously wanted to lie, but after looking at Yu Zizhen's smiling gaze, Zhang Meiren couldn't help but tremble.
This sudden sense of crisis made her think back coldly, this is not a foolish person, but a proper legend who founded Dahua as a woman.
"Yes, yes." The survival instinct of the little people came into play again at this moment, and Zhang Meiren lowered her eyebrows and told the truth.
Yu Zizhen sighed, "In this case, how did Zhang Meiren come from the eldest princess to live a very hard life?" As you said, the eldest princess has an older brother, and she was an acquaintance of mine when she was a child, so how did she get mixed up to make her life very miserable? ”
She focused on the four words "very bitter", and she was not afraid that the people around her would have a different opinion of her and Xiao Yuanjin because of this.
In fact, Yu Zizhen really doesn't have any weakness in her heart, she doesn't have a ghost in her heart, of course, she won't mind telling everything in the open.
Zhang Meiren was speechless for a moment when she asked, she racked her brains and thought for a long time before finally coming up with a reasonable explanation, "Yes, it is the eldest princess, she is afraid of causing trouble to you and the imperial husband, so she endures everything by herself, and she dare not find you and the imperial husband." ”
Yu Zizhen chuckled, "As far as I know, King Zhao has already sent someone to invite the eldest princess before he married me. It's the eldest princess herself who doesn't want to go to King Zhao's Mansion, she wants to stay in Huangjue Temple to accompany you. ”
Zhang Meiren was struck by lightning, "This, how is this possible?" ”
"How could it be?" After getting the news that Zhang Meiren had run away, she immediately scattered her hands, and finally found her whereabouts, and immediately hurried over The eldest princess was so angry that her face turned blue, "I did refuse the person sent by the Zhaowang Mansion to pick me up, and it was indeed because I wanted to stay in Huangjue Temple and take care of you nearby." ”
The matter has come to this, the eldest princess can't take care of her and Zhang Meiren's face problems, she can't take care of what family ugliness is not publicized, she only knows that she must not let Yu Zizhen and Xiao Yuanjin lose their reputation because of her.
Her eyes blinked, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You don't want to take the severance money back to your parents' house, and I don't worry about leaving you alone in Huangjue Temple, so I can only stay there to take care of you?"
"Although I am very sorry for my father like this, my father still has my brother after all, and I am the only one under your knees. I can't bear to see you alone, and you are often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light, so I reluctantly gave up reuniting with my father. ”
"My father and brother are considerate of me, not only did they not embarrass me because of my selfishness, but they have always taken care of me more, I am too late to be grateful, how can I be so unsatisfactory that I need you to sneak out, and I will not hesitate to rush into Your Majesty to complain about me?"
"Are you accusing me of ignoring my father for the sake of filial piety to you, when you are saying this in front of Your Majesty?"
Zhang Meiren subconsciously shook her head, of course she didn't mean that! Celestia crawled out of her belly, for her sake, isn't that what Celestia should do? On the contrary, if she doesn't care about herself, then she really deserves to be thundered!
She eagerly denied it, "Of course not! I am, I don't want you to continue to live in Huangjue Temple. ”
She doesn't care if the dead girl can't live in Huangjue Temple, but if the dead girl lives in Huangjue Temple, she can't live in Zhaowangfu under the banner of taking care of her daughter, which Zhang Meiren can't bear.
She wants to go to King Zhao's Mansion, she wants to live a good life!
