Chapter 139 Dedication
Princess Sui'an had always wanted to marry her adoptive daughter into the royal family, but she was rejected by the imperial concubine and concubine one after another, and she couldn't help it.
Now that the son-in-law changed his mind, she couldn't help being moved again.
It's just that I heard that the candidate is not the imperial heir under the imperial concubine's knees, but the third prince, but he is somewhat hesitant: "That's good, but it sounds like I don't respect the imperial concubine very much. If that's the case, it's not suitable, right? The blue bird and green magpie belong to the imperial concubine. My niece. How can I marry someone who doesn't respect my elders?"
"In the final analysis, it's all slander and framing by King Chongxin." Xie Wuzheng said in a soft voice, "otherwise, how could His Majesty have not dealt with it? Besides, I don't have much resentment towards the third prince because of the way the noble concubine looks. He is a child who grew up, and because of his background, he has suffered some grievances. The noble concubine even told the minister today that she feels that the third prince has not been easy all these years."
Hearing that the imperial concubine didn't seem to mind the third prince, Sui'an's eyes flashed, and he said, "So, is it the imperial concubine's intention to let our children marry the third prince?"
"The imperial concubine didn't expect this." Xie Wuzheng vetoed it, "You know, she almost failed to wake up this time. Even if she wakes up now, she still needs to recover slowly... Asking for the pulse twice a day, it can be seen that it is not good after all. But how can I have the energy to think about it? When the noble concubine is sighing with the third prince, the minister thought, the left and right middle palaces have been abolished, but the middle palace has an heir, and the noble concubine has not yet. You must become an enemy. King Chu is fine, King Shu has settled down on Princess Weihe, and the twelve princes are the legitimate sons, so I don’t want to say too much, if we don’t marry our child, it will be regarded as turning hostility into jade.”
"After all, it is not a matter of shame for the royal family to kill each other, and the son harms the mother."
"It's good to be able to cover up one or two things."
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Sui'an was almost convinced by these words, but out of prudence, he still said: "The middle palace is abolished, and the third prince's marriage should depend on His Majesty's will. But I am not sure about His Majesty's decision." Thoughts? Or wait until the imperial concubine recovers and have a private conversation with His Majesty, shall we bring this up again?"
"If that time comes, I'm afraid there will be side issues." Xie Wuzheng persuaded, "Your Highness is His Majesty's younger sister, and speaking of it, His Majesty watched him grow up. Your Highness will mention such housework, even if Your Majesty has other considerations." , do you still blame His Highness?"
Sui'an thinks about it too, it's no secret that she hopes to marry her adoptive daughter to the prince.
I failed to achieve my goal earlier, and now I just bring up the old story again.
If it can't be done, as Xie Wuzheng said, the left and right emperors can't do anything to her because of such a proposal; if it can be done, won't she get her wish?
So the next day, he used an excuse to ask the Empress Dowager to enter the palace. After dealing with it in Qingci Palace, he went to Taichu Palace to ask for an audience.
Chunjia is busy at the moment, but the eldest princess always has to give her face. The brothers and sisters met each other and greeted each other for a while. The eldest daughter Xie Qingniao's plan to the third prince: "...my sister is stupid, if this is not right, please forgive me."
Sure enough, the emperor was not angry, but asked: "Is this what you mean, or is it someone else's reminder?"
"This is my sister's own idea." Sui'an didn't mention Xie Wuzheng. She didn't deliberately conceal the emperor, but she considered that, as Xiaozong's own flesh and blood, and a girl, even if she said or did something wrong, as long as she It's not such a big event as treason, the emperor doesn't care about it.
But the emperor may not be so easy to talk to her son-in-law.
Sui'an and Xie Wuzheng are not resentful spouses, on the contrary, they have always had a good relationship as husband and wife.
Even knowing that the son-in-law's tenderness and consideration are partly due to her identity, Suian is not a hypocritical person.
Born as an emperor, this is her blessing, so many people dare not even dream about it, so she still hates it?
Now he said, "Don't dare to hide the truth from the emperor, my sister is not blessed and has no children of her own, so she has always regarded the blue bird and green magpie as her own. Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans. My sister In one day, I can take care of the two children to some extent. If the younger sister is gone, who can the two sisters rely on? But I have to brazenly disturb the blood of the emperor's brother. It's just that the younger sister has been called the emperor over the years. Brother is worried about, but he has never done anything to share his worries. Therefore, if this matter is inappropriate, I hope that Brother Huang will make it clear that Sister Chen is determined not to intentionally embarrass Brother Huang."
In Chunjia's impression, Suian was always silent and docile, and he was considered sensible.
His sister-in-law, who had never intentionally caused trouble for him, had a good impression on him.
In addition, before Sui'an came back to the imperial capital, he had privately proposed to the noble concubine to marry the prince, and Chunjia also knew this.
At this moment, after thinking for a while, he said: "You plan for the righteous daughter, and you are also a kind mother. I have many children, how can I not fulfill you? Don't worry about this matter, I will definitely give you a charter."
So Sui'an resigned with gratitude, and when he returned to the mansion, he told Xie Wuzheng.
Xie Wuzheng immediately noticed the abnormality, and his eyebrows twitched: "Your Majesty said that he has many heirs, and he will definitely fulfill you... So, he promised to let our daughter marry into the royal family, but it may not be the third prince? "
His heart sank. Doesn't this mean that the third prince's position in the emperor's heart is more important than what their siblings estimated?
Sui'an didn't think much about it, she just wanted her daughter to marry a prince, which prince, how to put it, of course she was happy to be able to marry a promising future, but after all, she was not her own daughter, she was just a adopted daughter from a concubine, not enough Expensive. So even the most unfavorable prince is actually a high climber.
He was quite happy at the moment, and said with a smile after hearing the words: "This is also very good, the third princes on the left and right are not very favored."
Maybe he can change to another favored prince?
Xie Wuzheng glanced at her, didn't say anything, and sent someone to send the news to the palace with a few perfunctory words.
After Yun Fenghuang, who was still recuperating, found out, he became more wary of the third prince, but suddenly remembered something: "I proposed marriage to Xiaoqi and Wei Shi earlier, after they refused, who have you been with these days?"
"... If you want to go back to your mother, the servant girl has to ask." Qingren and other servants were stunned when they heard the words, out of embarrassment.
After all, during this period of time, all the energy was put on Yun Fenghuang, but he had long forgotten about Webster.
Chen Jing hurriedly went to inquire, and came to report half a day later: "Returning to your mother, Webster has been cautious in his words and deeds these days. He even declined many invitations on the pretext that the old lady is ill and that the children and grandchildren must be filial. Does it mean self-cultivation?"
"Not long after Wei Changkong's recovery, this family came all the way from Sichuan to the Imperial capital to cultivate themselves?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "It's likely that they got some important promise, and they are afraid that something will happen before things come to fruition, so they are specially careful. Let's go!"
She pondered briefly, and said, "It seems that your Majesty is the concubine candidate that the third prince has chosen, and Wei Xiyan is most likely."
The attendants were all shocked: "Your Majesty?!"
"Your Majesty, what's the point of this?" the Qing said in a deep voice, "When Webster rejected our Seventh Prince, the Third Prince was not as eye-catching as he is today. How can He De ask His Majesty to worry about his marriage personally?!"
It's not that they don't believe the concubine's conjecture, but that they really dare not and don't want to believe it.
Because if the emperor decided on the third prince's concubine candidate at that time, it was Wei's daughter who was famous for her talent but not a top family, what would it mean?
It means that Chunjia had considered passing on to the third prince at that time!
What kind of threat is this to Xuanqing Palace?
"Then tell me, apart from His Majesty's hint, what reason does Webster have for rejecting me?" Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice, "There is a reason why Yin's father and daughter picked Webster on Xiao Qi: Although Webster She is a concubine, but since she is able to become one of the three talented women in the imperial capital, alongside the girls of the Cui family and the Wei family, it is obvious that besides her own talents, she is also well cultivated in the clan."
She herself has enjoyed the benefits of her family's cultivation of fame, so she knows best that no matter how talented this kind of lady who hides in the boudoir is, without the help of her family to manage the publicity, it is impossible to be famous!
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that a decent lady should hold a little bit, and she is alone, how can this reputation be spread?
Webster belonged to a family at the state and county level, and often produced talented people. Because of Wei Changkong, his talent became more and more famous.
Girls from this kind of family, regardless of their nature, at least have a basic upbringing manner.
With a little practice, you will be a qualified mistress.
In addition, although Wei Shi is well-known, there are not many officials, and the highest official position is only Wei Changkong, and his influence in the court is not strong.
From the point of view of Yin's father and daughter, although Wei's entry into the court was late and his official position was weak, he happened to have nothing to do with all parties. He told Wei Xiyan to the Seventh Prince, how much is it that she is one of the three talented women in the imperial capital? It can make up for the gap in family background, and there is no political hidden danger.
But at this moment Yun Fenghuang suddenly discovered...
Such a condition is actually in line with the requirements of the future princess in Chunjia's mind.
The emperor definitely didn't want the crown prince to marry a noble daughter, after all, the Ji family was cold, and the defense and hatred that the Ji family had brought to the children of the Gongxiang family hadn't passed yet.
But you can't marry a girl of ordinary background.
In comparison, Webster's level is more appropriate.
Although Wei Xiyan's appearance is not the best, but as a concubine, appearance is the least important thing.
Besides, Wei Xiyan is more or less a beauty, but she is not outstanding among the beauties.
"Your Majesty, this..." The attendants listened to the concubine's analysis, their hearts fluttered and their faces were shocked. For a moment, the Qing people couldn't help muttering, "This... what should we do?! Could it be that the third prince married Wei? That lowly maidservant of yours, then entered the East Palace?"
Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "His Highness Sui'an spoke in person, and His Majesty only allowed his daughter to marry the prince. It seems that he still wants to tell the third prince about Webster."
"In that case..."
She frowned, feeling that things were tricky, mainly Chunjia.
The emperor is not a fool, no matter what happened to the third prince or Wei Xiyan, I'm afraid he will let go of the clues and investigate thoroughly.
But now Yun Fenghuang doesn't have the confidence to hide the past from under his nose. The reason why the bitter trick was successful is because she created the necessary personality in the emperor's mind in advance, and the emperor never doubted her.
But it is not the case to directly attack the third prince and Wei Xiyan.
No matter how much Chunjia believed that the imperial concubine was a loving mother, if she knew that the imperial concubine had murdered the third prince, would she not suspect that she was faking it?
The master and servant were thinking nervously, when Chie hurried in from the outside room, and reported something with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu made an apology on the table, saying that he is serving as an official for the children of the whole family, and plans to retire to the countryside from now on."
If that's the only way, it's reasonable for Gu Shi to admit cowardice, but it's nothing.
The point is, "The old master said in the letter that he would like to dedicate Miss Jue to His Highness King Qin to serve him."
Yun Fenghuang: "........."
