Su Yuwu's birthday did not have a higher standard because of her aunt's presence. It was just a separate banquet in the third room, and the contemporaries Liu and Wei Changying went to sit together. Mrs. Su was still in the bedroom... Mrs. Deng asked the kitchen in the bedroom to add some of her daughter's favorite dishes. When Su Pingzhan came back in the afternoon, Mrs. Su personally served her parents tea, and took advantage of the situation to get down to business with her parents' home today.
In the third room, Mrs. Liu seemed to be a little pushy because her interest was ruined by Mrs. Qian. Wei Changying took advantage of her inattention and told Wei Zhengyin exactly what happened when he met Gu Naizheng. Naturally, he was a little worried about Su Yuli.
Wei Zhengyin was not surprised after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Your future cousin-in-law is indeed a bit different from ordinary people, but I know that I will teach your cousin in the future. Don't worry, although he is not very understanding, it's okay. A matter of character.”
My aunt had said so. After all, she was the one who chose Su Yuli's husband. There was no way that Wei Zhengyin would harm his own daughter. Therefore, Wei Changying couldn't say anything more to Gu Naizheng, and thought to himself, I hope this is the case, otherwise Su Yuli will be pitiful in the future. Not to mention what Gu Naizheng did to her, just looking at the experiences of brothers Huo Zhaoyu and Huo Chenyuan that day, we know that people like Gu Naizheng, those who are close to him, will inevitably be affected by him and complained by him.
At this time, Su Yuli came over with a smile and asked, "Cousin, what did you secretly tell your mother?"
Because Mrs. Liu was here, Su Yuli's voice was not low when she asked this question. Mrs. Liu was also looking over. The chief guard Ying didn't want to mention Gu Naizheng anymore, so he said, "I told my aunt that I saw him when I came into the palace yesterday." Her Royal Highness Princess Anji.”
When Mrs. Liu and Su Yuli heard this, they asked in unison: "Then can you treat His Highness with courtesy?"
... The intimidation of His Highness was indeed extraordinary. Guard Chief Ying secretly wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I followed my mother. My mother reminded me to be respectful to His Highness."
"Isn't that right?" Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "His Highness can't afford to offend anyone. They all hope that she will get off her hair soon. Otherwise, if they see her and are rude, this Highness will think It’s no joke to look down on her.”
Su Yuli also said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Anji loves to be more serious. She is not as easy-going as other people in the palace, so it is better to treat her with courtesy."
Guard Chief Ying said solemnly: "I remember it very well now."
Mrs. Liu asked: "When you met Her Highness, what was she doing? Did she get into trouble with Princess Linchuan again?"
"How did sister-in-law know?" Wei Changying asked in surprise.
Wei Zhengyin said with a smile: "It seems that these two Jinzhiyuye have been having trouble for more than a year? It seems that Princess Anji is deliberately trying to make trouble until Princess Linchuan comes down and leaves the palace."
Mrs. Liu and Su Yuli calculated it and nodded together: "It's been more than a year."
Su Yuli explained the reason to Wei Changying: "I can't tell you the details last time in Weiyang Palace. The reason why Princess Anji and Princess Linchuan were not getting along was because there was a banquet held in the palace to celebrate the Qianqiu Festival last year. On that day, Mrs. Zhenyi also She went to the banquet to congratulate the Queen, but she didn't sit for long before she asked to leave early because of a cough. Princess Anji was about to leave with her mother and concubine. However, Mrs. Zhenyi was considerate of her daughter who stayed with her all the time and rarely played with others. On the Qianqiu Festival, all the ladies came to the palace and wanted to make Princess Anji happy, so she was not allowed to send him away and ordered her to go find Princess Linchuan. "
Mrs. Liu took the words and said: "Princess Linchuan also drank a few too many drinks that day. In a relaxed mood, when she saw Princess Anji coming over, she asked why. Knowing that Mrs. Zhenyi was unwell and returning to the palace, she sent her to join her sister. While sitting at the table, Princess Linchuan made fun of Princess Anji—Princess Linchuan spoke too much."
Guard Chief Ying Zi wanted to ask: "But I don't know what Princess Linchuan said?"
"Princess Anji's maiden name is just the word 'Ying'." Ms. Liu said with a wry smile, "You know the royal surname, but Princess Linchuan just made fun of Princess Anji's name. Ask Princess Anji if she knows why. Mrs. Zhenyi is always sick? Princess Anji didn't know why, so Princess Linchuan said it was because Princess Anji's name was chosen poorly. Shenying was the same as "moan", and Princess Anji still served Mrs. Zhenyi every day. Can Mrs. Zhenyi not be tossing and turning and moaning?"
"..." Wei Changying was speechless. He had seen the proud and arrogant Princess Linchuan being dragged away by the shrewish Princess Anji at the birthday party yesterday, threatening and intimidating her. She cried so hard that her manners were completely lost. She also felt that Princess Linchuan was pitiful. Now that she heard it, she was not a light-hearted person. Even if Princess Anji was not favored, her maiden name was not chosen by the Holy One. Eighty-nine times out of ten, it would not be chosen by the Holy One. , otherwise Princess Linchuan wouldn't make fun of her name. It was probably given by Princess Anji's biological mother, Mrs. Zhenyi.
Princess Linchuan, relying on the Holy Emperor's favor and being raised under the Queen's lap, not only criticized Mrs. Zhenyi for giving her daughter an unlucky name, but also secretly mocked Mrs. Zhenyi for lingering on the sickbed because she gave her daughter such a name. There was also a vague saying Princess Anji is unlucky, so the more diligently she serves her mother-in-law, the more she will harm her mother-in-law!
What daughter can tolerate such words? Even if she is the daughter of a minister, anyone with any sense of integrity will still go to the queen and cry.
Not to mention the very filial Princess Anji who serves Mrs. Zhenyi!
Thinking of the way Princess Anji grabbed Princess Linchuan's clothes in front of Weiyang Palace yesterday and scolded her, "If you don't leave, I'll take off all your clothes," Wei Changying asked cautiously: "What about Princess Anji at that time?"
Mrs. Liu said helplessly: "This is the difficulty of this mistress - she immediately burst into tears, jumped up from the table, and ran to the main hall of Changle without even wearing silk shoes to ask the Queen to make the decision for her! "
This made Wei Changying very surprised. According to what she saw and what everyone said about Princess Anji, she should just press Princess Linchuan and fight for her life!
"So we don't dare to mess with her." Su Yuli said while clasping her fingers, "Look, Princess Anji took offense when the married woman was offended. In the end, in the name of disrespecting the Tian family, the married woman was forced to leave her natal family. A good ending; Princess Linchuan humiliated her mother, but Princess Anji did not choose to fight with her sister on the spot and be accused of disturbing the Qianqiu Festival. Instead, she went to the palace to cry to the queen in public, forcing the queen to punish Princess Linchuan on the spot. She took off her hairpin and went to Doujin Palace to apologize to Madam Zhenyi. After Madam Zhenyi forgave Princess Linchuan, the Queen also grounded Princess Linchuan for three months and deducted one year from Princess Linchuan to compensate Princess Anji - this was still The Holy One doted on Princess Linchuan but disliked Mrs. Zhenyi, and did not care about Princess Linchuan's disrespect for Madam Zhenyi. Later, Princess Anji provoked Princess Linchuan, always talking about big and small things, even if the Holy One wanted to do so. The most severe punishment for Princess Anji is to kneel down for a day and a night. "
Wei Changying said: "Princess Anji is not old, kneeling for a day and a night is not a big deal, right?" One day and one night is really a long time, even when Wei Changying went to punish her by kneeling, she knelt in the summer. It was fine for a few hours, but I had to kneel for a whole day and a night without help and still couldn't get up.
She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Princess Anji doesn't look like she has practiced martial arts. She actually knelt down like this and is not afraid of receiving the same punishment next time. This princess is really tough.
"Princess Anji served Mrs. Zhenyi with great filial piety. In order to pray to God to protect Mrs. Zhenyi, she often knelt all night when praying." Mrs. Liu made a helpless gesture and said, "That time the Holy Emperor punished her to kneel in the imperial garden. , as a result, she spent the whole night praying for the Holy Emperor and Mrs. Zhenyi in the imperial garden, and asked the people in front of the Holy Emperor to report her flesh and blood. The Holy Spirit originally felt that the punishment was too severe in anger, but Princess Anji refused to tell the truth. Princess Linchuan apologized, which made the saint unable to get off the stage, so he blurted out the whole day and night. Later, I heard that Princess Anji not only showed no grievances, but even prayed for herself while she was kneeling. The saint didn't say anything, and then punished her. Princess Anji will be left to the Queen."
Wei Zhengyin smiled lightly and said: "Our queen has always been soft-hearted and treats the princes and princesses as if they were her own children, regardless of whether they are her own children. Moreover, Princess Linchuan was raised under the queen's knees, so the queen should not be too partial to the princess she raised. , but he treated the sick Mrs. Zhenyi’s only biological flesh and blood badly, so every punishment was not painful or itchy.”
Wei Changying understood the ins and outs of the grudge between the two princesses Linchuan and Anji, and he couldn't help but feel that Princess Linchuan really brought trouble from her mouth and provoked such a mistress.
But the reason why she provoked Princess Anji is really hard to sympathize with: if Princess Anji hadn't been fierce and shrewd, suppressing Linchuan to death, Mrs. Zhenyi would have been a first-class wife and the concubine of Princess Linchuan for many years. It's pitiful enough to be childless and weak and sick. Princess Linchuan's own biological mother died early and in a suspicious manner. She also made fun of Anji's mother and concubine in front of Princess Anji. This is not for Princess Anji's heart. Stab
In particular, Mrs. Zhenyi has completely fallen out of favor, and there is nothing she can do about Princess Linchuan. After all, she is also a high-ranking concubine serving the emperor. When she comes to Linchuan, she is bullied by a concubine and ridiculed and humiliated. If she didn't have a powerful daughter to stand up for her, In this tone, Doujin Palace mother and daughter were bullied too badly.
By discussing the topic of the two princesses, Su Yuwu's birthday party ended in such a lively and harmonious way.
After the banquet, Ms. Liu said she was not feeling well, so Su Yuli accompanied her to take a nap in her room. Wei Zhengyin called Wei Changying to come to the flower hall to talk. She had to give some advice to her daughter-in-law's niece as her own aunt. .
Wei Changying told her about her eldest aunt Wei Shengxian again. Wei Zhengyin said: "They also sent me a message. I took Yuli there two days ago. The house is pretty good." It's neat. It's just that everything hasn't been set up yet. It's just enough for now. But I guess it's because you just arrived in the imperial capital. Your uncle has a rich family and has accumulated a lot of savings after serving as an official abroad for many years. Otherwise, he wouldn't offend the clan members. Jealousy—Now they just have a house in the imperial capital, which doesn’t mean anything to them.”
"Those tribesmen went too far..."
Wei Zhengyin muttered: "This is also because your eldest aunt and uncle are both too weak in temperament. If it were Princess Anji, the tribe would just ask her not to cause trouble for them. Thank God."
Although Wei Changying had never seen Wei Shengxian in her natal family, he knew from the attitude of his grandmother, Mrs. Song, towards her second uncle's family, that Mrs. Song would never be able to raise a domineering concubine. Even if Wei Shengxian has the skills and vigor of Princess Anji, it will be useless in the hands of Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song is not as afraid of the Holy Emperor as Queen Gu. The old lady can even beat Wei Huan. Who dares to have a concubine? To make her displeased
She vaguely felt that it would be difficult for her eldest aunt to develop a fierce temperament because of her background, but Wei Changying also knew that saying this would somewhat accuse her grandmother. She would never think so, so she said: "I don't care about this matter." I remembered it a few days ago and wrote to my grandmother.”
Wei Zhengyin said: "It's okay to tell your mother. I told your eldest aunt when I went back. The next time the tribesmen come to the door to force me, ask her to try to hold them back and send someone to tell me. I will go and argue with those people." -Your eldest aunt and uncle are in their prime of life, and the two girls under their knees are legitimate children. Who dares to say that they are not blessed with biological children? Who dares to curse people in person like this? Let me cut off this vicious mouth with scissors! Even if it doesn't happen in the future, how to adopt it is a matter of the future. The Song family in Jiangnan is also one of the six clans in the country! I don't believe that the descendants of the Song family are so shameless and want to steal family property. I won’t care!”
Wei Changying said with a smile: "Second aunt is still more powerful. If you put it this way, those people are afraid of being purged, and they don't dare to bully eldest aunt's family anymore." At this time, the clan power, especially those with the origins of the six clans in the sea, Even the most remote branch disciples are hard to change. Take Min Zhixia, for example. If he hadn't been a son of the Quyin Min family, the Duanmu family would not have married their daughter to him.
Because of his status as a son of Quyin's Min family, Min Zhixia was also one of the noble clans, so he was qualified to marry the daughter of the Duanmu family. Otherwise, he is very good... Unless the Shen family has prospered from the army to the point of ruling the world, otherwise the common people will not marry the daughter of the family.
Not to mention that it has long been a common practice for nobles in the officialdom to join forces to squeeze out poor families.
Therefore, what we children are most afraid of is having their names removed from the genealogy due to various reasons.
"This is also because Song Yuwang is your biological uncle." Wei Zhengyin sighed and said, "When you go back, ask your mother-in-law for instructions, and go see them when you have time to let those worthless people know about you. Even though my eldest aunt is a concubine, we, the Wei family, will not deny her after marrying her off."
Because Mrs. Song was too powerful, even though she had few children, she had no choice but to let Wei Huan take concubines. However, she suppressed the concubines and concubine's children to death, and no one dared to go beyond her and no one dared to be disrespectful. When in front of Madam Song's biological children, each of these concubine children was more obedient and humble than the last. Therefore, as the legitimate daughter, Wei Zhengyin, like the legitimate granddaughter Wei Changying, had no dislike for the brothers and sisters who were born as concubines. Both the aunt and nephew were very sympathetic to Wei Shengxian's experience.
Wei Changying didn't want to talk about the training he received, and said: "I am also thinking about it. I just finished my fourth brother's marriage. I will mention it to my mother-in-law when I get the chance this time." (To be continued)
