Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mrs. Shen

When Mrs. Shen sent her daughter and son-in-law away, Yun Fenghuang was crying and beating in the Huanhua Hall: "Although my concubine's uncle and aunt have many heirs, brother twenty-one is the most outstanding. Earlier, Yunan When His Royal Highness the eldest princess is happy, the eldest aunt always wonders when Brother Twenty-one and Sui'an will get good news. For this reason, the grandmother of the family takes the lead in praying for blessings, but she is afraid of teaching His Royal Highness the eldest princess to think about it, so I haven't said it all the time! Now... now... now, mother and daughter are called concubines, how can I explain it to my family?!"

"Originally, because my mother was not the eldest daughter-in-law, but for various reasons, she overtook my aunt to take charge of the house, so my aunt had a lot of opinions."

"In addition to such a thing, I am afraid that even the grandmother will blame the mother!"

"This is what the son-in-law wanted. You heard it just now, Ah Huang. It's not like we didn't give him a chance to repent." Chunjia persuaded with a little guilt, "But he insists on going his own way, what can we do? If he wants to abandon Sui'an, we can stop him a bit, he is wholeheartedly treating Sui'an now, you think we can't do it?"

Yun Fenghuang said angrily: "The one who has benefited now is the golden branches and jade leaves. Of course you must applaud! But brother twenty-one is so innocent, because the dirty villain of the royal family murdered His Royal Highness Princess Sui'an. I can't have any heirs!!!"

Chunjia said: "He doesn't want it himself, even if we force it to him, if he doesn't want to raise it, it's a waste of a good child, right? In fact, as long as you ignore the power and fame, take Suian and go back to seclusion, and be a pair of gods The dependents are also excellent. How many people dream of it, but they can't think of it..."

"Then when will Your Majesty go back to seclusion with my concubine?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, why don't you take the lead in your dream of looking for the relatives of the gods, "Your Majesty is so big-hearted and can't let go, how old is Brother Twenty-one? That's all right now If you can see it clearly, then what are you going to do with marriage, you might as well just become a monk!"

Chunjia didn't change his face, and said: "Nowadays, the country is troubled by internal and external troubles. It's not that I can't let go, I can't let go! In the future, when the sea is clear and the rivers are clean, why don't I want to take care of it and spend more time with you and the children?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't believe a single word of this kind of nonsense, and besides, there was a day when Chunjia wanted to go back to hermitage, but she was not happy: Oh, she left after working so hard and didn't enjoy much? Who is that for the sake of perfecting? Is she such a person who hides merit and fame so deeply? ? ?

So he sneered and said: "Your Majesty can't let go of the world, so do you think, whether it's Mrs. Xie or a concubine, the current situation is the time for Brother Twenty-One to let go?"

"Twisted melons are not sweet, the son-in-law has made up his mind, and you persuaded him just now, so what if he doesn't listen?" Chunjia comforted, "It's really not possible, I will call your uncles and aunts to the Imperial Capital, and tell them in person, Is it done?"

Yun Fenghuang glared at him for a moment, turned his face away and cried again: "What is your identity? Tell me in person, of course my uncle and aunt did not say no, even if they dared to be angry, they would not dare to say no! But looking back, they resented, In the end, it’s not the concubine and the mother? The concubine’s mother is also a very old person, and she should be entertaining her grandchildren at home, but because of the concubine, she traveled all the way south to the imperial capital, and she had to pay for this kind of money. What a terrible thing! In the final analysis, it is the unfilial piety of this concubine's daughter. If I had known that I would have died, I wouldn't have said that I would drag my own mother down now!"

When she said that, Chunjia couldn't help but take a look of relief, and coughed dryly: "No, absolutely not, I will personally help you deal with the aftermath, how can I let you suffer such grievances? Besides..."

"Is this helping our mother and daughter to deal with the aftermath?" Yun Fenghuang asked bluntly, "Could it be that we caused this?! This is simply helping the son-in-law and Sui'an to deal with the aftermath!"

He also said about Sui'an, "Although the son-in-law is not from a high family background, it is obvious to all the Lord how he has treated His Royal Highness Sui'an all these years! As a result, the son-in-law impulsively promised his whole life, and His Highness cried and cried without a single word to stop him! Thanks to my concubine's body, I have returned to you before." I thought His Highness was a good person, but now I see nothing more than that, in the end, I only think about myself, and I don't think about my son-in-law at all!"

Hearing this, Chunjia dispelled her doubts about Yun Fenghuang, and felt that the imperial concubine even scolded Sui'an at the moment, showing her true feelings, which was in line with what he knew about Yun Fenghuang's disposition, not just pretending.

He turned his mind, and said softly: "Think about this matter, although the son-in-law is swearing, but if the oath is effective, what court laws are needed? He is now on the tip of his horn, and he will regret it in the future. Quietly looking for the two concubines to have children, how can I destroy their father and son? But Suian really can't have children. As you said, after Sui'an descended, he and his son-in-law have always been loving and happy, what is lacking It was nothing more than her own flesh and blood. As a result, she was killed once, but the real culprit has not been caught so far... She is only so old this year, and her heart is in a mess. looking at yourself?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said: "The concubine wants to see herself. When His Highness calms down, will she help the son-in-law to ask His Majesty to take back his life?"

"...Why should we bother with the affairs of their husband and wife?" Chunjia said seriously, "As long as they live comfortably by themselves?"

Yun Fenghuang said angrily: "The one who benefits is His Majesty's younger sister, of course His Majesty said so! But among my Xie family's descendants, this is the most outstanding one, and it turned out..."

She bit her lip, looked at Chun Jia bitterly, and said, half crying, "Your Majesty is really cruel!"

Chunjia knew what she had to say, if Xie Wuzheng was to be guarded by Sui'an, the imperial concubine would probably compromise after venting.

In the final analysis, it was the fact that he let Xie Wuzheng become an official, which made Yun Fenghuang and Xie family unacceptable.

As Yun Fenghuang said, Xie Wuzheng is currently the most outstanding among the Xie family's children, and it's not that kind of outstanding, it's obviously a lot higher, and it's not at the same level as the other brothers. .

Looking at the Xie family, only Yun Fenghuang's aptitude can stabilize him.

Such a Qilin'er Qianliju, the Yin family of the Luo family, the Ouyang family, and the Meng family will all be cultivated with all their strength.

What's more, it's the Xie family who is not high and needs to be promoted urgently?

If Chunjia asked the other children of the Xie clan to sacrifice their future to be happy with the eldest princess, Yunfenghuang probably had to haggle for the price, but Xie Wuzheng...he would definitely be reluctant to change Chunjia if it were Yunfenghuang.

"It's not that I'm cruel." He denied it very calmly at this moment, and said, "In fact, I also wanted to force him to give up, but he agreed so firmly, so what can I do? I can't go back on what I said."

Yun Fenghuang knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, so he cried: "Then brother 21 is still young anyway, after the limelight is over, are you willing to get him back?"

"... Then he has to be willing, doesn't he?" Chunjia choked, and immediately coaxed softly, "If he and Suian live comfortably in the fief and are not willing to be an official, no matter how much I force him, I will not Great? After all, the son-in-law has been wronged so much, it's not good to make him unhappy in the future."

Why didn't this stupid king die immediately and let King Qin ascend the throne? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang was so angry that he took off the hairpin and hit him, letting him go: "I don't want to see you!!!!"

Chunjia catches the hairpin with sharp eyes and quick hands, and persuades: "Actually, the son-in-law and Sui'an are in love with each other, maybe in this life, he only wants to have one person who wants to be with him forever?"

That's Bengong's first cousin, what does he think? Bengong still doesn't know? !

And what the hell is wishing that people of one mind will never leave each other. I don't even have such a loving son and daughter. How can my brothers be so promising? ? ?

Why don't you think so yourself!

On this day Chunjia hurriedly exited Xuanqing Palace amidst the imperial concubine's roar.

When the news reached Chongchang Hall, Gu Zhen twitched his lips indifferently: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What does it have to do with us?"

She might as well pay more attention to Gu Su's side if she has a thankless time.

The queen doesn't care, the others feel sour, and they have no choice but to sigh with regret. No noble concubine is virtuous and virtuous, and she is not the first in terms of beauty. How can the emperor pamper her like this?

The emperor, who was considered to be doting on his imperial concubine, turned his head and said to the confidant maid sent by Mrs. Shen: "It is my intention to thank the son-in-law for becoming an official. Since his mind is all on Sui'an, what is it like to be distracted from his official career?" What's more, it's inevitable to play tricks every time in the officialdom, Xie Consort is young, and he rarely went to the place of love and moon before, if he accidentally misses, wouldn't it just cause trouble for Sui'an?"

"Having said that, but to be an official, this..." The maid looked embarrassed, "The concubine said, knowing that His Majesty loves His Highness, but after all, the son-in-law is young, and it is the time when he is in the prime of life and has a bright future, especially if there is a concubine. I am afraid that the imperial concubine and Mrs. Xie will be very disappointed if they are so retired."

Although Mrs. Shen was partial to her own daughter and wished that Xie Wuzheng would guard Suian without heirs for the rest of her life, she really had no intention of letting Xie Wuzheng become an official.

One is that, in her opinion, even if Xie Wuzheng made this oath willingly, after a long time, the freshness will recede, especially when she gets older and sees other people's families surrounded by children and grandchildren, she will inevitably feel lonely, and then regret being young and frivolous, At this time, only the promotion in the official career can give Xie Wuzheng satisfaction and comfort. This also restrains Xie Wuzheng from making mistakes, and even has to coax Sui'an to be happy; the second is, Even though Sui'angui is the eldest princess, it's not easy for the emperor's daughter to be in power at the moment, and the wealth and status depend on the husband's family after all.

Don't talk about Mrs. Xie, there is nothing to look forward to.

Xie Wuzheng was originally a very promising young talent, if he was abandoned by Chunjia like this, where would Suian be in the future even if he had no worries about food and clothing?

Shen Taipin thinks that this is too unfair to her daughter. After all, Sui'an can't compare with Minghui in all kinds of treatment. She admits that there is a difference between concubine and concubine, but from heirs to husband's power and status, she is not as good as Yun'an. She is really not reconciled .

The maids sent here at this moment spoke in a tactful manner, but what they said inside and outside the meaning were all disapproving of Xie Wuzheng's official resignation.

"My concubine's worries are clear to me." But Chunjia said slowly, "However, before Xie Wuzheng was ranked, he was good at maneuvering and had a strong heart. Suian is innocent and simple. To be honest, I'm afraid she won't be able to fight against her." This son-in-law. Originally, this is nothing. Xie is a smart man, so he will understand how to treat Sui'an. The problem is that Sui'an can't bear children. Now that the world is heavy with children, the son-in-law offered to guard Sui'an for the rest of his life. Of course, he and Sui'an are still in love with each other, but the main reason is probably to win people's hearts and make a name for himself. Originally, whoever holds an important position in the court can do it or not. He is not only my brother-in-law, but also the concubine's cousin, and also has Talent, it’s not like I can’t fulfill him!”

"But this kind of person, even the heirs who are deeply valued nowadays, can be used as bargaining chips, which shows that he has a hard heart. If he is allowed to hang around in the court, when he reaches a high position in the future, even I will be polite. Even if they are raising a foreign family outside, giving birth to an illegitimate child, and even trying to force Sui'an to take him into the house...does the mother-in-law want Sui'an to take such a risk?"

"For such an ambitious person, it's better not to give him any chance from the beginning."

"As for my concubine's worries, I'm also aware of it. Well, if Xie Wuzheng can always treat Sui'an well, after thirty or fifty years, it's not like I can't confer a title on him."

Anyway, this kind of canonization is based on Xie Wuzheng's keeping his promise, which means that Xie Wuzheng can't have any heirs, and the imperial court who helped to adopt him after his death doesn't recognize him, so this title is purely awarded to Xie Wuzheng. Fight for a person, and he will be gone when he dies.

Quan regarded it as a piece of meat hanging in front of Xie Wuzheng, tempting and forcing him not to neglect Suian.

The maid made sense after thinking about it, so she bowed her knees and resigned, and went back to Mrs. Shen.

Shen Taipin's expression was very complicated when she heard it, and she sighed softly after a while, and said: "It's true that you can be a noble concubine, and you can also lose a noble concubine. At the beginning, I only wanted to be the concubine's sister-in-law. Although I need to be more cautious in my words and deeds, I can't thank you It is not a bad thing to have Concubine Min take care of her as an ordinary family, but this time she was tricked by Concubine Min!"

Seeing that the maid was puzzled, she explained slowly, "If Xie Wuzheng is only Sui'an's son-in-law but has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, even if His Majesty finds out that he intends to buy people's hearts, he won't mind, and will directly fulfill him, let him He publicizes his reputation everywhere, and at the same time, he will keep a close eye on his every move, and he is not allowed to betray Sui'an... But he is not only the first cousin of the noble concubine, but also the most watched child of the Xie family. In this way, the front and rear palaces are all in the first place The Empress Dowager’s natal family suffered a lot when they gained power, but now that the Empress Dowager is a bit outstanding, who in her natal family is being watched closely just in case?”

"Like Gu's and Ouyang's well-established and well-known families, it's okay. After years of accumulation, they know best what posture to take and what to do."

"A newly promoted family like the Xie family, what do you know? Isn't it a violation of His Majesty's taboo to just focus on improving the family?"

"Of course they have nothing to do. If they don't work hard, the imperial concubine will have no idea. Even if she knows that she won't please His Majesty, she will have to do it deliberately at this moment."

"All in all, Xie Wuzheng is a son-in-law and a concubine's cousin. This dual identity is enough for him to have a smooth career. Coupled with his own talent and appearance, he may be a person who can be a general in the future. Right now But if you gain fame again, how can you still use it in the future?"

The palace maid couldn't help but said: "Concubine Tai, but above the temple, important ministers are needed after all."

"But Your Majesty has been constrained, will you choose people and things that will stumbling you?" Shen Taipin said, "Behind Xie Wuzheng are my son, the flesh and blood of the late emperor, and the favored imperial concubine and empress. All of them are people whose Majesty is either wary or unbearable, His Majesty suffered a lot when he took the throne and suffered a lot, so he must plan ahead."

"Who said that the Ji family was able to exert power in the government and the public, not only because they made great contributions to Shenzong's ascension to the throne, but also because they were Shenzong's Yue family?"

"Such a lesson, three or two generations of monarchs and ministers, I'm afraid they won't forget it."

"Your Majesty, in order not to make it difficult for Sui'an and the imperial concubine to beg him for Xie Wuzheng one day, but he would rather not give Xie Wuzheng any chance, and only reward Sui'an for his entire life!"

The concubine pinched her brows and sighed, "Even if my son-in-law doesn't dare to say it clearly, he still doesn't know how much he hates us."

After a pause, she murmured, "That's impossible... I only have one daughter in Sui'an, how can I not think about her? Although the son-in-law is not as important as the daughter, but the son-in-law doesn't like it, how can Sui'an live well?" How about comfortable?"

She has to figure out a way.

Um, or, to find the imperial concubine?
