Chapter 488: Xie Xiaoyu
The Qing man pondered for a moment, and said: "If you go back to your mother, when you suspected the twenty-one son, the most important thing is the heir. But now, looking at it, the twenty-one son is really not in a hurry?"
In other words, Yun Fenghuang might really be overthinking it.
Yun Fenghuang himself was also a little uncertain, frowned for a moment, and sighed: "That's right. But brother twenty-one suddenly came to ask for someone, you said, although the old servant made a vow, the people sent by this palace are just doing it. It was shown to the loving empress dowager, in fact, brother 21 must maintain his innocence with them and has absolutely nothing to do with them! But if brother 21 hides so deeply, will he cheat me at that time?"
"But since the twenty-first son is not in a hurry to have an heir, why does he treat the empress like this and the eighteenth son?" The Qing people thought that the imperial concubine might be too suspicious.
She could understand Yun Fenghuang being so cautious.
Who told Xie Xiaoyu not to be a human being before?
These are brothers who grew up together, so suddenly the imperial concubine made such a move, it's no wonder that the imperial concubine may not be a good cousin now.
But the problem is, "Mistress, think about it. Although the actions of the Eighteenth Young Master were abrupt, the main reason is that we did not suspect him. Otherwise, the actions of the Eighteenth Young Master can actually be speculated. After all, such an honor as the Lord Shang With the opportunity, in the world, how many men have missed it, can they not be very sad and never forget? At that time, when His Majesty let out the rumor and wanted to choose sons-in-law for the three His Highnesses, he heard that the front and rear palaces were all acting on the wind, and countless people used their own methods. , The fight was in full swing! This is His Majesty's clear indication that he will not choose from the noble sons of the noble family! Otherwise, the sons of the poor family will not even get a chance!"
"But this does not mean that the noble son of the noble family does not want to honor the lord, it is just that he is frightened by His Majesty and dare not make a move."
"How many people envied His Royal Highness Minghui's current son-in-law when he was elected?"
"This is His Royal Highness Minghui's humble appearance and short-tempered temper, not to mention His Royal Highness Sui'an is gentle, demure and easy to talk to?"
"Marry a wife and get a princess, buy it on flat land - the government!"
"The eighteenth son is also a human being. Who can have no selfishness? Didn't you privately feel sorry for the madam back then, saying that if the eighteenth son is not married, how can the opportunity of the lord take advantage of the big house?"
Yun Fenghuang was silent.
The Qing people said again: "How calm you and your wife are, you still feel sorry for the eighteenth son. How can the eighteenth son himself, young and vigorous, bear such loss? And it's not the maidservant who helps the eighteenth son pull If you want to say that the reason why the first eighteen young wives returned to the underworld with both souls, it is also the responsibility of the first eighteen young wives themselves. Originally, Xie Jiajiang’s family was right, and the first eighteen young wives were right. The Eighteenth Prince, you don’t give in at all, the newlyweds are a little jealous, it’s okay to add more interest. But the question is, since you became a concubine, the Xie family and the Jiang family are still well-connected, right?"
"Even the Jiang family has a county horse, but that's the support of the empress, isn't it?"
"If the eighteenth young lady in front was a sensible one, she should have understood at that time that she is not qualified to dictate to the eighteenth young master, and she will be unforgiving!"
"Yes, you are her direct cousin, and his wife is her direct aunt, but as the saying goes, is she related to you and your wife, or is the eighteenth son related to you two? Do you even need to think about it! You He was very courteous to his wife, and he didn't underestimate her because the lintel of Jiang's family was far inferior to that of Xie's. Instead, he vented his anger on her as the eighteenth son... But as the adults said in court, at this time, The first eighteen young ladies should stand up and be a good person, not only to step down the steps of the eighteen young masters, but also to show their gentleness and graciousness! If so, why did the eighteen young masters lay down such a murderous hand?"
"In the final analysis, the first eighteen young ladies couldn't figure it out. They thought they were blood relatives with you and your wife, and you two were polite to her. She took it as her own blessing!"
"If she is a virtuous and virtuous person, the eighteenth son will be forced to kill his wife and son?!"
The people of the Qing Dynasty were confident and confident, "Look at the eighteen young wives today, they are still high-ranking and prominent officials. Even if they are concubines, they have always been raised in front of their aunts. The status of education and treatment, which one is not ten blocks ahead of the first eighteen young wives? Today's eighteenth young lady, has she ever been rude to the eighteenth young master? So the first eighteen young lady is simply to blame, and even harmed her own child and husband! If you want this servant to tell her, she shouldn't have been allowed in in the first place!"
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, thinking about the behavior and attitude of the two sister-in-laws before and after, he was a little speechless for a while...
Indeed, Xie Jiangshi, as her direct cousin who grew up with her, had been engaged to Xie Xiaoyu since she was a child, and had no fear of Xie Xiaoyu at all.
Even after Yun Fenghuang became a concubine, Xie Jiangshi was still a little restrained when he came to see her, but later seeing that Yun Fenghuang treated her as before, she was not shy, and soon she still behaved according to her previous attitude... …
At that time, Yun Fenghuang didn't care too much. After all, one was a cousin and the other was a brother. In her opinion, neither of them was an outsider, but someone she could absolutely trust. She is rampant in the harem, does she still need to find a sense of presence in her own people?
Therefore, not only did he not dislike Xie Jiang's generosity, but he also enjoyed this cousin's invisibility.
As a result, Xie Jiang's family became even more invisible. After catching the matter of her husband raising a concubine outside, she never planned to settle down from the beginning to the end.
In her opinion, there is no need for her to settle down.
Even Yun Fenghuang didn't think there was anything wrong with helping this cousin...
On the other hand, Xiao Cui's family, although this person's family background is much better than that of Xie Jiang's family, he grew up listening to Concubine Min's achievements.
Even the sister Cui Lianye, whom she had always looked up to, had been in the palace for many years, but was beaten so hard by the noble concubine that she had to bow her head and surrender.
In this case, how could she dare to put on airs of a noble girl to Xie Xiaoyu after passing through the door?
That is the hard work of a good wife and mother who has been cautious in words and deeds since the newlyweds.
After all, from her natal family to concubine Shu's first sister to the dowry, everyone hit her against the sky, so she must be able to win Xie Xiaoyu's heart.
This is Concubine Min's brother, and Concubine Min's closest brother, as long as Xie Xiaoyu is coaxed well, not only will her position be stable, but also the Cui family and Concubine Shu will benefit.
On the other hand, if she makes Xie Xiaoyu unhappy, then Xie Xiaoyu will tell Concubine Min later, then Little Cui, the Cui family, and Concubine Shu may all be unable to eat and walk around... How could Little Cui dare to disobey Xie Xiaoyu? ?
"...In any case, the eighteenth sister-in-law in front is the wife of the eighteenth brother after all, and it is also a close relationship." Yun Fenghuang finally sighed and said, "The eighteenth brother doesn't like her, tell her in private. Bengong still has a mother, so maybe at the beginning, she will not be approved. But she will definitely tell her cousin in private, treat him better, and don't always tell him to lose face outside. If he keeps getting along with his cousin, what is he going to do? He and Ben Gong are brothers and sisters, can Ben Gong really force him? At that time, he will always find a way to reconcile and divorce for them, and they will marry each other. In that case, how could it be like this?"
The Qing people sighed: "Your Majesty, of course you say that now, but think about it, if you didn't know that the Eighteenth Prince would do such a murderous thing, how could you agree to such a thing? Even if you agreed, Madam would not nod." The first eighteen young wives were selected by the madam after personally inspecting the many nieces of her natal family, and they were hired with due courtesy... Ask the madam to divorce her and go home, can the madam be ashamed?"
The most important thing is, "Forgive me for saying something unpleasant, you and the eighteenth son grew up together, maybe you didn't notice when you were young, the treatment of the eighteenth son in the clan, no, it was in the fourth The treatment of the house is far worse than yours!"
"Although he is the son of the eldest son, he is the youngest among the four sons of the wife. The first three sons occupy a lot of the master's and madam's energy, and the next are you and the two younger sisters, Miss Six... The master and his wife have four sons in a row Finally, a young lady came. How can you still pay attention to Mr. Eighteen? At the beginning, Mr. Eighteen helped you target Miss Six. In fact, he was not only partial to your biological sister, but also because Mr. Eighteen really hated Miss Six. of."
"Because if Miss Six hadn't been born, he should have enjoyed the partiality of being the youngest son of the firstborn for several years."
But because of Xie Fenghuan's birth, even if she was a concubine, she was brought by the Jiang family and treated her as if she was her own, and she was no different from a concubine.
Afterwards, Yun Fenghuang, the direct daughter, was born, and Xie Xiaoyu, the youngest son of the direct line, had no reputation, but he didn't have all kinds of care and treatment for the youngest son of other families.
Moreover, Yunfenghuang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he started fighting with his concubine sister when he was a little old, and the endless tricks made Sifang jump at the sky.
Jiang shi is exhausted just to deal with the conflict between these two daughters, how can he care about Xie Xiaoyu?
"The eighteenth son is different from you." The Qing people looked at Yun Fenghuang with a complicated expression, "You have been favored since childhood, if there is anything you don't like, you have to say it on the spot, if you don't do it right away, you Not only will you get angry, but you will also have various means to express dissatisfaction... So since childhood, whenever you say something bad, when do you think someone will worry about it for you immediately? But it is not the case for the eighteenth son, he has grown up since he was a child Few people care about him, although he has everything that a concubine should have, but the favor and attention that you and Miss Six have enjoyed are rare."
"You think he is dissatisfied with the first eighteen young ladies, you can say so..."
"But this is you."
"Eighteen son, he can't say it."
"He made some requests when he was a child, but the master and wife are too busy to take care of them."
"The other elders can't care about..."
"So in the mind of the Eighteenth Young Master, his request is difficult for the family to understand and agree to."
"About reconciling and divorcing with the first eighteen young ladies, and getting married separately. In his opinion, if such a big matter is mentioned first, he will definitely be blamed; secondly, it is useless to say it. Impossible to reconcile."
"So he'd rather do it himself."
"And I also took a fluke mentality afterwards, and dared not let you know."
"So empress, there is no need for you to doubt the son-in-law just because of the eighteenth son... You are different from the eighteenth son, and so is the son-in-law."
Yun Fenghuang listened with complicated expression, unable to speak for a long time.
