Chapter 95 Hit the Nail on the Head
Chunjia straightened her robes before entering the flower hall.
Inside, Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, holding the teacup in her hand absentmindedly, handing it to her lips several times, but she put it down because of anxiety.
Seeing Shengjia entering, he hurriedly got up to salute.
"Concubine Shen, you don't need to be too polite." Chun Jiaxu gave her a hand, and asked her to sit down, and he sat on the head with his robe lifted, and asked her why she came.
Shen Taipin was rather anxious, according to the rules, it was not good for concubine and heir to meet each other in private, but as a concubine during Xiaozong's time, she always lived with Ji Sheng.
There is neither intersection nor friendship with Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu.
So after Ji Sheng left, she and Wu Taipin had no channel to communicate with the emperor, and this time they were forced to rush to Xuanqing Palace desperately.
After all, this is better than going to Taichu Palace to find Chunjia, right?
"Your Majesty." Seeing that Chunjia's attitude was still kind, Shen Taipin calmed down and said in a low voice, "The matter of Suian..."
Chunjia sighed in her heart, if anyone wanted Xiaozong's flesh and blood to be peaceful, he must be one of them.
But the matter has come to this point, he can only force himself, and said softly: "My wife, this is all my fault."
The emperor spent about a stick of incense admitting that he was wrong, and euphemistically expressed that he would never treat Sui'an and his wife badly, and even hinted that he would promote Concubine Shen to be a concubine. In short, he promised a lot of conditions and promised that there would never be any Similar things and so on... In the end, I asked Mrs. Shen politely, but is there any other request?
"Your Majesty." Mrs. Shen tried to speak a few times before but couldn't find a chance to interject, so she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty knows everything, we mother and daughter have nothing else to say. However, no matter how you say it, Suian is not quite right. Maybe he gave birth to a son-in-law and a daughter for the son-in-law, this..."
"I know." Chunjia had a headache for a while. If the son-in-law was someone else, even if he came from a high family like Yunxi guest Zheng Fengli, he hinted that the clansmen of the son-in-law would definitely keep a close eye on the son-in-law, so that Mrs. Shen would not be allowed to mess around. Concubine mother and daughter to explain.
But Xie Wuzheng...
This cousin is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
It's okay to let her follow her brother, but it's just compensation but she won't be polite.
It's just that Mrs. Shen came to ask in person, and Chunjia couldn't ignore it, so she said, "I personally chose the son-in-law for Sui'an. Since I was honored by the Lord, my wife and concubine must have seen how he treats Sui'an. Li. Even though such a thing happened, it was not Sui'an's fault after all. In the final analysis, Sui'an was greatly wronged this time. If the son-in-law neglected Sui'an because of this, no matter what my mother-in-law said, I would not be the first one to spare him! Mother-in-law If you are worried, I will call him into the palace tomorrow and interrogate him personally."
"Your Majesty, that's not the case." Shen Taipin said hastily, "Wu Zheng was chosen by His Majesty personally for Sui'an as a wishful gentleman. How could he be such a person? In fact, I came to look for Your Majesty right now, but It's because someone came to the eldest princess's mansion and said something, I don't know what to do. I was afraid that the imperial concubine might misunderstand, so I came here to report to His Majesty regardless of decency."
Chunjia's expression changed, and she looked at her as if she had heard some bad news, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Can I ask my concubine to show me?"
Shen Taipin squeezed the veil tightly and said: "Your Majesty, just now His Royal Highness Yun'an and his son-in-law went to visit Sui'an at the Princess Chang'an's mansion. The two sisters were crying because of Sui'an's affairs. The two son-in-law went to comfort him. ... He swore to Sui'an in public with his family and his own future, that in this life, there will only be one Sui'an, and no one else! Moreover, it was not God who moved Sui'an to conceive, otherwise he would rather have no heirs for life , and never think about it!"
"..." Chunjia squinted her eyes, quickly thinking about the intentions of Xie Wuzheng's move, and whether this was Xie Wuzheng's own intention, or Xie's, or the imperial concubine's intention?
I remember two days ago, the concubine's biological mother, Jiang, went in and out of the palace continuously, could it be...?
Seeing the eager expression of Shen Taipin not far away, he didn't have time to think, and said gently, "Really? I don't know about it yet, but the son-in-law is so caring and at peace, the mother-in-law should be happy."
"Your Majesty said so." Shen Taipin stammered, "It's just... just a good-looking son-in-law, and a handsome man of the Xie family. If this young man has no heir because of Sui'an, what... what does he look like? Even in front of the imperial concubine, he is not easy to explain. Do you think this is the truth? Therefore, I would like to ask His Majesty to personally order him to withdraw his oath."
When she said that, she subconsciously grasped the veil in her hand.
Sitting at the top, Chunjia could clearly see this little action, but she didn't know that Taipin Shen came here to ask him to order the son-in-law to take back the oath, rather, she wanted to take the opportunity to test whether this matter could be settled. finalized?
It's no wonder that Taipin Shen came from a humble background, and her mother's family is basically the one that can't be ignored. After serving Xiaozong for a while, the daughter of Princess Sui'an is her only hope.
Originally relying on the first emperor Yu Ze, the son-in-law who descended from Sui'an, despite his poor family background, is still a young talent in his own right, with the support of his favorite concubine and cousin. , when the family is happy and happy. As a result, Sui'an can't give birth now. If Xie Wuzheng is only a child of the Xie family, it's fine. Shen Taipin thought to herself that with Sui'an's background, as long as the mother and daughter cry to Chunjia, the emperor will not care about sacrificing one The son-in-law fulfilled the good story of his sympathy for his step-sister.
But Xie Wuzheng is still Concubine Min's direct cousin.
In terms of crying, complaining, acting like a baby, and influencing the holy will, Shen Taipin's mother and daughter dare not compare with Yun Fenghuang.
So Taipin Shen got the news, and couldn't wait for it to spread, so she immediately came to find her. Her thinking was that it was a retreat.
Come here first and make a gesture that the son-in-law cannot be sacrificed like this, then even if Yun Fenghuang is partial to his brother and forbids this, she and Suian will have a reasonable reputation at least so that they will not offend the favored concubine, nor will they let him People outside talked about their bullying.
This can be exchanged for some benefits.
If the imperial concubine does not object, then Sui'an is just picking up a single-minded husband for nothing, and it will be even better.
"After all, the son-in-law and Sui'an live together. Even if the noble concubine cares about them, she can't intervene too much." Chunjia thought about it, and then said gently, "The son-in-law is not an impulsive person, since Having said this, I must have thought twice. Of course, whether it is the son-in-law or Sui'an, they are still young... How about this, I will call them into the palace later to ask, what is going on?"
Shen Taipin was a little disappointed that she didn't get an answer on the spot, but thinking about it, this trip was not in vain. At least the emperor had roughly revealed the compensation plan just now. To be honest, these certainly cannot completely make up for Sui'an's crimes. But the matter has come to this point, the current Zhonggong has no choice but to adopt the prince as his son, let alone Sui'an?
I can only comfort myself that I can get a little bit.
After she left, Yun Fenghuang came in from the back, and angrily expressed his disapproval after entering the door: "Your Majesty, brother twenty-one is out of his mind, please ignore him!"
Chunjia speculates that the imperial concubine's attitude is just pretending to clear the matter, or is she really ignorant?
He took a sip of the tea, and persuaded in a slow voice: "The son-in-law and Sui'an have always been loving and harmonious, and now that such a big incident happened to Suian, he must be feeling extremely uncomfortable. His eyes say what to do." It's human nature to act inappropriately, so why do you mind?"
Because the specific ins and outs are still unclear, the emperor left room for what he said. He didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed. He just persuaded the imperial concubine to calm down. Come on, let's make it clear in person."
After a pause, he asked someone to call Yun'an and his wife, after all, the couple were witnesses.
The two eldest princess mansions are not far from the gate of the palace, and the palace servants went to pass on the oral order, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Taichu Palace to wait for orders.
Here, Yunfeng Huang must go there, but Chunjia had no choice but to allow her to listen outside, and repeatedly told her not to make a sound, so as not to disturb his questioning.
So the emperor moved to Taichu Palace and asked the four people about the oath, Suian started to cry as soon as he heard it, Yun An supported her and comforted her in a low voice, he stopped talking, Xie Wuzheng looked at Suian worriedly, and then said Admit it, and ask the emperor for permission very frankly.
Zheng Fengyu glanced at him in admiration, cupped his hands and said to Dan Chi: "Your Majesty, this is true, but...because of my sister's affairs, my sister's brother-in-law must have been restless for the past two days and looked haggard." many."
In other words, he felt that Xie Wuzheng said this because he really loved Sui'an, but it might also be impulsive.
Chunjia mused, because he had so much to do, he didn't pay much attention to Xie Wuzheng, an immature courtier like Xie Wuzheng, even with the dual identities of the concubine's brother and brother-in-law.
The impression of Xie Wuzheng is that this person is probably the most outstanding child of the Xie clan. In terms of talent, learning, scheming and ability, he is much better than the noble son who is well-educated by a wealthy family.
So at this moment, I have some doubts, suspecting that Xie Wuzheng is either himself or listened to the advice of others, the emphasis is on the noble concubine, and wants to use the love sage to invite people's hearts;
Anyway, the emperor didn't believe that Xie Wuzheng really had such deep affection for Sui'an.
It's not that he thinks that Xie Wuzheng's character is not good, or that Suian is not the kind of person who will be sympathized with wholeheartedly by her husband.
It's because Xie Wuzheng and Sui'an have only been married for a year, and they've never seen each other before. Where can there be so much affection?
Especially this year, the couple came over smoothly and smoothly.
If this is the case, Xie Wuzheng is willing to spend his heart and soul for Sui'an and even not want any heirs, then unless these two people are really destined for marriage: Xie Wuzheng owed Sui'an in his previous life, and he owed a lot, so he deserved it The kind that will last a lifetime.
If the two have been married for ten years, have experienced all kinds of ups and downs together, and still remain true to their original intentions, then Chunjia is more willing to believe that Xie Wuzheng is sincere.
Think about it, Concubine Min is such a lively and eye-catching person, Chunjia feels that she really likes Yun Fenghuang, so why not just because of her when she doesn't like it? Even making Queen Mother Yuan disappointed and sad, it started after getting along with Yun Fenghuang for a few days.
What did he say before that?
He himself can tolerate all kinds of capricious nonsense of the noble concubine, but the Queen Mother Yuan must be treated respectfully by the noble concubine!
...Chunjia felt that Xie Wuzheng might not be as tough as himself, but since he was an outstanding young talent, and not the kind of prodigal master who was famous for his talent, he felt somewhat rough in his heart, how could it be so easy Captured by Sui'an?
"I think Xie Concubine is indeed a little too haggard." Chunjia then said to Xie Wuzheng, "I don't want to pursue what you said so excitedly, but you must not be so impulsive in the future. The news just spread to the inner chamber , The noble concubine is very sad. Originally, the noble concubine has been very angry with Sui'an for the past two days, but now she hears what the son-in-law said, and she becomes even more sad."
Hearing that Sui'an's crying stopped slightly, Yun'an lightly patted her on the back, raised her head and said, "Brother Emperor, Sui'an didn't mean that, and kept telling the son-in-law not to do this. But the son-in-law is angry..."
"Sister Huang, Wu Zheng is not an impulsive speech out of anger." Yun An's words were interrupted by Xie Wu Zheng in the middle. lungs."
Yun An looked embarrassed and looked at Chun Jia.
Chunjia's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "You all go out, I will have a word with my son-in-law."
So Yun'an and his wife helped Sui'an, who was still weeping, to retreat to the side hall, and the servants in the hall also left one after another, leaving only the monarch and his ministers.
"Your Majesty." Xie Wuzheng immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, and said in a deep voice, "Please allow your Majesty!"
"Do you know what you're doing?" Chunjia didn't help and didn't cry out, she just asked calmly, "Are you taking the future princess who is clean and self-disciplined and devoted to love, and your future fate as an heir, In exchange for rising to the top!"
Xie Wuzheng's body vibrated visibly, and he thought quickly in his heart. After a while, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "No matter what your Majesty says, in my heart, there is only His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"
"I practiced Zuo on the fifteenth day, and got married in the same year." Chunjia's tone was very casual, "Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, there are groups of concubines with different temperaments. So I can be considered to be used to romantic affairs. What is your opinion of Suian? What are you thinking, I am very clear in my heart. It’s just that Sui’an’s mother and daughter are happy, and I don’t care that you have been lying to her. Originally, if Sui’an can have his own flesh and blood, even if you go out for sex in two years, as long as you are not so foolish as to spoil her Concubine kills wife, as long as Sui'an doesn't tell me, I don't bother to care about those trivial matters. Everything that influences you in the future will be inherited by Sui'an's children. They are the blood of Emperor Xiaozong, and I will naturally find ways to treat them favorably he."
"But now that something has gone wrong in Sui'an, no matter if it's an unrelated child, or you will take a concubine in the future, adopt and adopt Sui'an, in terms of status, you can't compare with the emperor's nephew who really flows from Xiaozong's blood."
"I have a deep understanding of this myself."
"So you just use this method to stand out, don't you?"
Xie Wuzheng was sweating profusely, but still insisted: "I dare not, I have no such intention!"
Yun Fenghuang, who was eavesdropping from the back of the palace, immediately frowned: The emperor who can break free from powerful officials like the Ji family and hold down the regent is not a cheap lamp. Chunjia wanted to fool him when he was not pretending to be confused. , where is it so easy?
Xie Wuzheng answered without hesitation, but...
The Son of Heaven was not at all arguing with him about whether his feelings for Sui'an were true or false.
Chunjia smiled, and wrote lightly: "Never have such intentions? Then if I let you take advantage of this incident, please resign yourself from office and go to seclusion, take the eldest princess to the fief, and be a pair of happy and carefree gods. How about avoiding the current gossip in the capital? Would you like to?"
