Although there were only two people in the room, Shen Zangfeng still lowered his voice and said almost close to his wife's ear: "The relationship between the imperial concubine and the queen is like fire and water. They are so auspicious that the imperial concubine loves her and she has already fallen deeply into it. If we are allowed to do this, My cousin is married to Xiangzhi, and if the concubine's affair fails in the future, it will be difficult not to be implicated, but why bother? "
When Wei Changying heard this, he was shocked and said: "Why do you think the imperial concubine will lose?" She was not only worried about Deng Zongqi, she must know that Song Zaishui also worked with the Deng family to break off the engagement with the royal family, and the Wei family intervened that time. Taking the lead... Although it cannot be said that Song and Wei are on the side of Concubine Deng, they are also leaning towards Concubine Deng.
Especially Song Zaishui's break-up of engagement, which seemed grand and grand on the surface, but actually offended the queen and the prince to some extent! Under such circumstances, Wei Changying naturally hoped that Queen Gu would fall and the current crown prince would be deposed before he could feel at ease.
But now hearing what Shen Zangfeng means... he doesn't think highly of Concubine Deng? Shen Zangfeng has served the emperor for several years and has a good heart. Naturally, his opinions carry great weight. Guard Chief Ying Zi did not dare to neglect him and pushed his arm, "How could you think so?"
Shen Zangfeng smiled and touched her cheek and said, "Don't worry... In fact, if it had been ten years ago, I would not have thought that Xiangqian's future was not good, but it is different now." He pondered for a moment before saying, " The Holy Master is over sixty years old. Although he is said to have always been healthy, he is getting older after all. "
"Although Your Majesty rarely comes to court and doesn't often ask about political affairs, this world is still in the hands of Your Majesty after all." Shen Zangfeng spoke very slowly because he had to consider his words, "A few months ago, I heard from His Majesty himself. It has been said that since ancient times, how many of those who have lived long lives have been blessed
Wei Changying understood: "Your Majesty, now... do you like peace and quiet or do you like movement?"
"That's right." Shen Zangfeng said slowly, "So, it's better not to promise our cousin to Xiangzhi."
The Holy Emperor is no longer young, not to mention that the previous harems of this dynasty are not at peace - although the Liu family of the Yuan Dynasty was not abandoned, the two successors led to the two deposed princes, which was a major event that affected the world.
It's just that when the first two princes were deposed, the Holy Emperor was still in his prime, and he easily suppressed the waves caused by the deposed princes. But now His Majesty is older... Maybe His Majesty still has the ability to depose another prince, but His Majesty's heart is already tired: His Majesty himself believes that he has been blessed more profoundly than the emperors since ancient times, and he is obviously ready to control it. Preparation for collapse.
In this case, the Holy One certainly didn't want to make any more trouble. Although the prince was licentious, Queen Gu was very clever. How could it be so easy to shake the status of the queen and the prince? Unless it is a serious crime such as treason with conclusive evidence, but Queen Gu is not stupid. The saint is so old, and her son is a legitimate crown prince, and he is still young... She herself is younger than Concubine Deng, why is she in a hurry? It should be Concubine Deng who is so anxious.
According to this speculation, Concubine Deng is indeed not in a good situation.
Wei Changying sighed and said, "I received Mr. Deng's help in Xiaozhu Mountain last year. I have always been very grateful to him, but I didn't expect him to be in a critical situation now. It's a pity."
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "I am also very grateful to him." He then comforted, "Xiangzhi is born very much like the sixth prince. Concubine Deng has always loved him sincerely. Once things are hopeless, she will definitely plan a way out for him. After all, the Deng family He is also from a wealthy family, so the Queen may not be able to do anything to him."
That's what they say, but Deng Zongqi's parents died, and his father had grudges with his clan members, especially his uncle who was the leader of the Deng clan. His only supporter was Concubine Deng. Once Concubine Deng Gui falls, it’s strange that Deng Zongqi will not be implicated! At that time, the clan may not protect him, but will probably hand him over in exchange for peace and wealth for the clan.
But things have not happened yet, and although Wei Changying was grateful to Deng Zongqi for his help that day, he was not worried about it. He sighed with emotion, and then turned the topic back to finding husbands for sisters Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan: "This way. It seems that Mr. Deng is really not suitable for him. Originally, my eldest aunt had no children. It is said that because she had some property, she was very persecuted by the tribe. I think it is better for my two cousins to choose families with good nature and some family connections. He will also avoid being oppressed by his brothers or brothers in the future."
Because the persecution by his clan members was a matter within the Song clan, Shen Zangfeng could not say anything. He only reminded: "Why don't you tell your mother about this matter? My mother is familiar with the children of all the families in the imperial capital, and there are almost no women in the imperial capital who are not familiar with her." Mother's."
"I forgot about Bingpoxiang today." Wei Changying bit his lip and said, "And the fourth sister has not been married yet..." Mrs. Su has her own biological daughter to take care of, so if there is a good candidate, of course she will give it to her biological daughter. She has a daughter, and her daughter-in-law’s cousin has moved on to two or three levels of relationship. Even if she agrees to save face, how much attention can she pay to her
"How many more husbands can Zang Ning have?" Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "Besides, you also know Zang Ning's temperament. In order for her to live well with her husband in the future, many candidates are good, but her mother can't. I can’t rest assured that she will go there.”
Before going to Princess Linchuan's birthday party, Wei Changying also felt that Shen Zangning's sister-in-law was too out-of-touch, cunning and weird and not easy to get close to. However, Shen Zangning always protected his sister-in-law in the palace, and met the eleventh prince in the imperial garden with his two cousins, Su Yufei and Su Yuyin. The cruel eleventh prince inquired about Su Yufei's origins. Shen Zangning responded calmly and pretended to call Su Yufei Wei Lingyue - the most rare thing is that Shen Zangning did this. He was not blindly bold, but he thought about all the consequences at that moment, and did so lightly. This solved the crisis of cousin Su Yufei being proposed to marry by the eleventh prince.
After that, Wei Changying always felt that Shen Zangning looked unruly, but in fact he knew very well in his heart that he did not dare to underestimate this sister-in-law. At this moment, he defended Shen Zangning and said, "I think the fourth sister is very good."
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "She is not confused in big things, but she is more willful in small things. Everyone in the family dotes on her, and after leaving the court, her husband may not be willing to be so tolerant. So the mother thinks it is better to choose a family for her. He has a good temperament." He sighed, "Not only do you think Deng Xiangzhi is good, but if he wasn't too involved with Concubine Deng, I would have given Zang Ning to him."
"Alas!" Wei Changying sighed, and the couple said a few more words. They heard the sound of a watch coming from far outside. It seemed to be the third watch. Wei Changying did not dare to talk to her husband anymore for fear of him. Tomorrow, I was not very energetic, so I said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
When he got up the next day, Guard Chief Ying mentioned the marriage of his two cousins to Mrs. Su when he paid his respects. He said, "Although my eldest aunt grew up in the imperial capital, she had been in office with my eldest uncle for more than ten years. Both cousins are still married this time." I came back to the imperial capital, and I don’t know anyone now. My eldest aunt entrusted me with the matter, but although my daughter-in-law agreed to do it out of kindness to my aunt, she hadn’t been here for a long time, so what else could she do? Please be kind to my mother and help my daughter-in-law this time! Otherwise, my daughter-in-law won’t know how to explain it to my eldest aunt!”
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu had just collected the incense distributed by Wei Chang Ying last night, and it was only a night before. It was not good for them to undermine their younger siblings now, so they all helped talk together and said with a smile: "We have also benefited. , but I asked my mother for help together with my three siblings.”
"Three people are in a crowd, and everyone is talking about it. It seems that I can't help it?" Mrs. Su smiled when she saw this, and said: "Isn't that box of Bingsouxiang yesterday a thank you gift from your eldest aunt in advance?"
Seeing that her mother-in-law was in a good mood, Wei Changying also joked: "To tell my mother, it's really not the case! It's just that the eldest aunt was surprised when her daughter-in-law was surprised by the fragrance of ice. She said that since the daughter-in-law had elders in the room, she definitely did not go beyond the rules of the elders using strange fragrances. That's why we divided the boxes into two. It's just that the daughter-in-law gave the mother a guarantee, and the eldest aunt is the daughter-in-law's two cousins. If the mother helps the eldest aunt in this situation, the eldest aunt will say anything. I came to thank my mother in person."
"Your eldest aunt is really well behaved!" Mrs. Su said with a smile, "I just gave you a box to put it in. I don't think you will hide it secretly when you come back. She will teach you a lesson. But your grandmother When I was in the imperial capital, I was famous for being strict in running the family. The rules and manners of your aunts when they were young were all learned by each family in private, so it’s no wonder that your eldest aunt said this. "
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu both laughed and said: "Just listening to the behavior of the eldest aunt, the third brother and sister, I know that Mrs. Song was very strict in her nurturing. It's strange that the third brother and sister are so popular. It's the old lady who has such strict rules herself." What she teaches is different from ordinary ladies.”
Wei Changying absolutely believed that his grandmother was strict in running the family - even now, Mrs. Song can manage half of Ruiyu Hall's family. I just didn't expect that my grandmother was so rigorous in running the family that several aunts became role models for ladies in the imperial capital at that time. It's no wonder that after so many years, the highest role model in my aunt's mind is still her aunt, and she even taught her two daughters to be like this grandmother. Imagine it as an extremely perfect existence.
She thought about writing this to her family next time, so that her grandmother would be happy, but she humbly said to her two sisters-in-law: "I don't dare to take these words seriously, my grandmother's rules are very strict." Yes, it’s just that she always loves me. When it comes to this rule, I can’t go far enough from my two sisters-in-law.”
"The third brother and sister are so humble." Ms. Liu said with a smile, "This kind of humility is not comparable to that of many ladies. Are you saying that you haven't learned the rules well?"
Duanmu said: "No matter how humble you are, it's useless. The rules are here and we can all see them clearly!"
Wei Changying said: "When it comes to these rules, I have a lot to learn from my two sisters-in-law. Aren't the two sisters-in-law the daughters of everyone? So, if you praise me like this, the female relatives of the family say, I can still listen to my mother and two sisters-in-law with a shy face, but I dare not admit that I am just a foil in front of my mother and two sisters-in-law."
The three sisters-in-law all laughed and told each other how humble they were.
In the meantime, Mrs. Su turned around and muttered a few words to Aunt Tao, then turned around and said with a smile: "Since I have received the fragrance of a thousand pieces of gold, how can I not help with this little thing? I have almost all the children from all the families in the imperial capital. From what I heard, it’s just that your eldest sister and second sister have been out of the cabinet for a few years. Zang Ning, her temperament, I really don’t have the shame to look after her for her if I don’t polish it off - I haven’t done much inquiring in the past two years, you two How old are the cousins? How do they look and behave? What kind of family does your eldest aunt want to tell them? "
Wei Changying smiled and complimented Mrs. Su, and said a few good words to Shen Zangning, and then said: "The eldest cousin's maiden name is Xiyue, she is now sixteen, and the second cousin's maiden name is Ru Xuan, who has not yet reached hairpin, but she is The same age as the fourth sister. They both have beautiful looks. To be honest with my mother, the eldest cousin has the same profile as my daughter-in-law, but is much prettier than her. The second cousin is also a beauty, and both of them have gentle and quiet temperaments. What kind of family, my eldest aunt said, it would be better if the family is well matched, the elders are generous, the person has good conduct, and has some talents. "
Mrs. Su said with a sigh: "She looks just like you, she is a beauty!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Mother is right. Third brother and sister, you only need to say that your eldest cousin looks like you, and we will know what a beauty she is."
"Don't talk so much about your second cousin. Just talk about how it compares to you. As long as she's not completely different from you, she's definitely a rare person." Duanmu said with a smile.
Wei Changying blushed with embarrassment: "The two sisters-in-law are the beauties, but they come to make fun of me."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu were about to answer the conversation when Mrs. Su said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take over this matter. Please let me think about it carefully. I'll draw up an order with you tomorrow and talk to you in detail. "
"My daughter-in-law thanks my mother on behalf of my eldest aunt!" Wei Changying said with a smile as he was busy blessing his blessing. (To be continued)
