There are always people in this world who can't stand others doing well. The Su family has been in decline for so many years, but has risen overnight. They are very popular because of their relationship with the emperor's eldest grandson. And their luck cannot be stopped. Even Su Rong, who had a lame leg for many years, has had his leg healed. How can people not be jealous
As soon as this statement came out, the attitude of everyone in the court towards the Su family inevitably became subtle, and even the attitude towards the emperor's eldest grandson became quite complicated.
After all, although it was not the eldest grandson's fault that he grew up outside, and he was framed, isn't it an indisputable fact that you grew up outside? Did you not receive a proper royal education
So, how can we ensure that the emperor’s eldest grandson does not appoint people based on personal connections
You know, these people in the court submitted many memorials to impeach him when he was still Song Heng. Even those who did not submit memorials, to be honest, were not related to Xiao Heng.
After years of hard work to gain a foothold in the court, how can one accept the result of being worse than those who have risen to higher positions
As Su Rong took the actual position, the court's opinion of the emperor's eldest grandson suddenly changed.
After entering October, the Empress Dowager's birthday was getting closer and closer, and the birthday gifts from local officials were sent to the capital one after another, making the capital more lively.
In such a happy and peaceful atmosphere, even the Tian family, which had suffered a great blow, recovered their spirits - this is the advantage of having a big backer. No matter how poor the Tian family is, no matter how low their title is, as long as Queen Mother Tian is there, the Tian family will still be rich and prosperous.
Especially when meeting someone like Queen Mother Qianqiu, who wouldn't compliment the Tian family
Those who came from other places and had no connections almost broke down the door of the Tian family.
The Tian family was extremely busy receiving invitations and gifts, and Madam Tian was a little tired from working non-stop. After finally sending off another imperial edict, she smiled and said, "No wonder they say that when a poor man lives in a busy city, no one cares about him, but when a rich man lives in a remote mountain area, he has distant relatives. You see, when the emperor's eldest grandson was still in the Song family, many ladies disliked him because he was a bastard born to a concubine, and they also disliked his work in the Jinyiwei and his bloody body, so they were afraid to have anything to do with him. But what about now? He is just a different shell, but he is still the same person, right? These people flock to him."
All these people came for Song Heng. They all wanted to bring the girls into the palace through the Empress Dowager's favor to see if they could gain the favor of the Emperor's eldest grandson.
That's ridiculous.
Tian Chengzhong smiled sarcastically, took the tea handed to him by the maid but didn't drink it. After a while, he said indifferently: "You are short-sighted. Just do it perfunctorily."
What's the hurry
He was just the eldest grandson of the emperor. There were cases where the throne was passed to the eldest grandson of the emperor, but there were also many cases where the throne was passed directly to the sons without going through the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Xiao Heng is in the palace now. Others may not know his situation, but how could Tian Chengzhong not know
This stubborn man has not completely let go of the past and is not very respectful to Empress Dowager Tian and others. It is only now that Emperor Yuanfeng is able to tolerate him for the sake of the dead prince.
But human patience is always limited, and it will run out one day.
He knocked on the table and whispered to Mrs. Tian, "Let's wait and see. Talk to the Queen Mother first. Don't be too anxious. Let's put Xiaoxun's matter aside for now."
This daughter is extremely smart. She is much better than the spoiled and self-righteous eldest daughter. Tian Chengzhong now feels that she is much more valuable than Tian Rui.
If this really works in the future, the Tian family's wealth and prosperity may depend on the second daughter.
When Madam Tian heard him say that, she couldn't help but frown slightly. After a while, she said softly, "The Queen Mother has summoned Xiaoxun to the palace again. I think Xiaoxun herself is different from usual."
Tian Chengzhong was about to get up, change his clothes and go out, but when he heard this, he came out from behind the screen and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"You know her personality. She is different from the noisy Rui'er. No matter what happens, she is very calm. Rui'er likes to be lively, but she never joins in." Madam Tian was very worried. She sighed and felt a chill in her stomach, but the breath she exhaled was burning. "Even the Empress Dowager, she told me privately many times that she was sick and refused to go with Rui'er too often. But look, how many times has she been to the palace recently?"
This makes people think more.
Tian Chengzhong uttered an "ah" and had not expected this to happen. He thought for a moment before raising his eyebrows and said, "When Xiaoxun comes back, you can ask her carefully."
It would be even better if my daughter herself wants to do that.
After all, she is a smart person, and smart people definitely know how to get what they want better than ordinary people.
Madam Tian responded and said, "By the way, didn't we say that when our little Xun came of age, we would send an invitation to the Xu family? Now it seems that we should just forget it."
Mr. Xu’s reputation was saved, but the character of the girl from the Xu family was still questioned.
Although the Tian family is a noble and wealthy family, it is precisely because of this that they have to avoid suspicion. If they get too close to Xu Huixian at this critical juncture, they will inevitably attract the attention of those pedantic people and bring bad things to the Empress Dowager.
Tian Chengzhong had no objection to this.
He still had some respect for the Xu family, but he and the Tian family really disliked each other.
So he just hummed casually: "You decide."
On the other side, Tian Xun was massaging the queen mother's shoulders. Her strength was moderate and her acupuncture points were very precise. The queen mother couldn't help but praise her out loud: "Xiao Xun really knows how to do everything. How can such a good girl not be liked?"
The head aunt also followed suit: "That's right, the second young lady is beautiful and gentle, I don't know who will be so lucky to marry our second young lady."
Tian Xun's face immediately turned red and he tried to avoid her.
Queen Mother Tian smiled lovingly and patted her hands: "Don't pay attention to her, our Xiaoxun is very blessed."
As they were speaking, Concubine Pang asked for a meeting. Empress Dowager Tian asked Tian Xun to stay and let Concubine Pang in.
Concubine Pang was talking about Empress Dowager Tian Qianqiu's affairs: "The emperor has ordered a banquet to be held at the Guangfeng Jiyue Pavilion. At that time, the ladies of the inner and outer courts will be invited to celebrate your birthday."
As for the court officials and male members of the royal family, they naturally had a banquet in the front.
Empress Dowager Tian frowned and said, "I have repeatedly said that there is no need to go to such great lengths, but the Emperor just won't listen."
"Your mother's birth is a big deal, and His Majesty is also very filial." Concubine Pang couldn't help laughing: "I heard that even Ryukyu sent a pair of phoenixes to celebrate your birthday. I am not very knowledgeable. This is the first time I have heard of phoenixes in my life. It is only because of Your Majesty that I can see such a grand sight."
