... Ru Ming of the Sheng family is going all out to prepare for the wedding next year, and naturally has no time to inquire about the concerns of the Gaomi Palace about the betrothal gift.
The only people who really knew nothing about this were the juniors like Sheng Weiqiao.
The two generations of the old man and his wife, the old man and his wife, know it well without asking.
After all, the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family deliberately increased the dowry for Sheng Weiqiao, in order to force the Gaomi palace to increase the dowry and help Rong Suihe gain the crown of Gaomi.
Because Princess Gaomi took the initiative to set the betrothal gift at one million taels, which was already beyond the limit that King Gaomi could accept, all the elders of Sheng Weiqiao remained silent.
In fact, if King Gaomi insists and refuses to agree, they will find the right time to find him at the door and try every means to force King Gaomi to bleed!
Anyway, from the moment the marriage between Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Shuihe is finalized, the huge betrothal gift will be for sure!
For this, Mrs. Feng and the others did not feel any guilt at all: Who told the King of Gaomi to wrong Rong Suihe for his unkind intentions and not to do so? That prince would definitely not give Rong Suihe any property!
Even if you give it, it's probably just scraps. It doesn't make much money, it's very time-consuming, and it's a lot of trouble.
Sheng Weiqiao asked if she would not marry Rong Suihe. Sheng, Feng, Xuan Yu and the four Xu family members would no matter what kind of treatment Rong Suihe encountered in the local area. The king's life is really hard, so forget it.
But since Sheng Weiqiao asked to marry that person, the husband and wife became one, Rong Suihe's interests were also equal to Sheng Weiqiao's interests, and the mistreatment Rong Suihe suffered was equal to Sheng Weiqiao's losses... How could that work? ! !
The Xu family is just fine. Mrs. Feng, Xuan Yu, Feng Shi, and Sheng Lanci are all struggling in the business world. They are smart and capable, so how can they be willing to let the painful junior Ping Hong suffer? What about grievances
Didn’t I, the King of Gaomi, refuse to give my younger son anything, guard him with all my strength, and suppress him with all my strength
They just wanted to force me to bleed!
I really want to see my son thrive with my blood!
Not knowing what the elders were thinking behind their backs, when Sheng Weiqiao saw the betrothal gift list, he flipped through it briefly and then put it away and said, "It's so long, I won't read it."
Xuanyu Feng laughed and scolded her: "Why don't I care about the betrothal gift that will be given to us later? My parents are really big-hearted, so they don't worry about me leaving the court!"
"I have an aunt!" Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao threw herself into her arms, hugged her neck and acted coquettishly, "Aunt, can you help him watch and teach him what to do?"
"He can teach me a lifetime?" Xuanyu Feng nodded her forehead and asked someone to bring the betrothal gift list to her, intending to read it while giving guidance to her worried niece.
Just when the bill was in her lap, a maid outside came to report with a serious face: "Mrs. Feng, County Lord, someone has come from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother has summoned the County Lord! At that time, our old lady, Mrs. , the in-laws and the old lady, many of them are not here, would you like to ask Mrs. Feng to come up with an idea from the county chief?"
Both aunt and nephew were surprised when they heard this.
Although Sheng Weiqiao had a good relationship with Empress Meng before, when she arrived in Chang'an and sent ceremonial gifts to various places, she did not forget the empress and empress dowager in the palace.
But after the news spread that she and Rong Suihe had an affair, she was inevitably assigned to the Gaomi King's faction.
So how can the friendship with Queen Meng continue
At that time, the queen asked to summon Sheng Weiqiao... Who knows what the purpose was
Even if Sheng Weiqiao believed that the queen would not fall out with him immediately, he could not believe Meng's.
And Queen Ruming is also a chess piece of the Meng family...
"I'm going to lie down in the tent first!" Xuan Yu Feng made a decision immediately, "Cao Wai said that because I was preparing to leave the cabinet for months, I accidentally caught the cold... He went out and took a look!"
Then there is the advantage of having reliable elders, so you don’t have to worry about everything by yourself.
Sheng Weiqiao obediently entered the tent.
Xuan Yu and Feng Shi hurried back to the house where they lived, changed into the guests' clothes as quickly as possible, and went to see the official who came to the erotic palace.
Zhongguan was very kind. Although Xuan Yu Feng did not have any title, he did not hesitate to call her "Madam" and took the initiative to salute. Finally, he said: "His mother-in-law and Kangzhao County Lord have always been on good terms. I heard that the County Lord came back and there was something wrong." During the confinement period, I thought that the county master's luggage should be almost ready, and I missed him in my heart, so I ordered my servant to invite the county master to the palace to say goodbye."
That statement was unreasonable, but Xuan Yu Feng did not show any apologies: "When the Empress summoned me, my niece should have gone immediately. Isn't it a coincidence that the child had been preparing some things for leaving the cabinet in the past two months? I actually caught wind and cold. If I didn't go to the palace at that time and passed the illness, I would be able to give it to the nobles, then... "
The Zhongguan said unexpectedly: "The county master is ill? Are you sorry?"
Xuanyu Feng was afraid that the queen would be very demanding in the future, but she was also worried about pretending to be ill, and the family didn't even take any side medicine. If she spread the word and exposed her secret, she said vaguely: "If you don't ask for it, then it's the child." Since I've been spoiled by them, I just want to stay in bed for a few more days."
"I hope the county lord will get better soon, otherwise the empress will be very worried if she finds out." The lieutenant-general was worried, and after some greetings, he left.
When leaving, he declined Xuan Yu Feng's purse twice, but after Xuan Yu Feng's slick persuasion, Dong Fei took it hesitantly. After taking it, Dong squeezed it consciously, but it was soft. .
Xuanyu Feng explained in a low voice just right: "The gold and silver hammers are too hard and will hurt people when placed in the purse, so I put silver notes in them."
The lieutenant general was startled, and his face showed joy. As a waiter in front of the queen, he shouldn't be so ignorant, let alone so impatient.
But the Didong people always followed their masters. When Queen Meng was in her natal family, she was not very proud. Even after the news that she was confirmed as the successor spread among the Meng family on a small scale, due to the mother Jiao Yu The existence of women, as well as Zheng Guogong's own disgust with his wife, also stemmed from the fact that he was no longer in charge of the affairs.
After entering the palace, she was disgraced by the Shu sisters just after their wedding, and she has never slept with Emperor Xuan Jing until now.
Such a queen could only rely on the existence of the Meng family to avoid being thrown into the cold palace.
So where is the glory of the Queen's waiters
Did the central official go out of the palace specifically to spread the news? Nor did he get benefits, but he didn't get very generous benefits... After all, Queen Meng at that time was not so prominent that people gave her a lot of money. .
At that time, everyone in Chang'an was talking about the marriage of Rong Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao. Because the betrothal gifts and dowries of the two were unprecedented in the history of the country, the mainstream of public opinion changed from "the marriage of brother and sister is not reasonable". "Disagreement" has become "Such a grand event has never happened before in the country. If you can see the splendid scene of those two weddings in the month, your death will not be in vain."
The Zhongguan people in the palace also heard that Sheng Weiqiao had a wealthy aunt who generously gave five hundred thousand taels of silver to supplement her beauty. They knew that the silver note given by Xuan Yu Feng must be of a large amount, so she was happy. I couldn't help but ask, "What are your orders, madam?"
"It's nothing." Xuanyu Feng originally thought that the people in front of the queen would be more difficult to bribe. At that time, seeing the look of the lieutenant, she was startled. Then she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Just deny him." Jia Qiaoer has always said that he has a good relationship with the Queen, but they have come all the way and have never met the Queen. Thinking about the Lord of the Sixth Palace, whether they are in awe of him or not. I just want to know that time the Queen of the East summoned his Qiaoer , apart from reminiscing about old times... you really don’t have any other instructions?”
When Xuan Yu Feng said that, he calmly took out another purse from his sleeve.
Seeing this, the Zhongguan hesitated for a moment, but soon became calm and said in a low voice: "Actually, there are other matters. Seeing if you are the direct aunt of Kangzhao County Lord, he will tell you and ask for your help." Go and convey a message to the county lord. When the county lord is well, be sure to enter the palace as soon as possible..."
Xuanyu Feng's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She thought trouble was coming, but she didn't want the official to continue, "After all, after Prince Mi Zhen came back from Nanfeng County, he asked the Queen to send Sheng Xi to guard her. If I were to be transferred back to the Mi Zhen County Prince's Mansion, the guards of Shengxi would not leave at that time, and their empress would also be in a dilemma, so why don't we plan to invite the county lord into the palace to discuss it carefully?"
"Shengxi?" Xuanyu Feng was stunned when she heard this. Of course she knew Gongsun Xi. After all, that man was always around Rong Suihe. But for Xuanyu Feng, who once devoted himself to eradicating serious troubles for his sister and niece, Why don't Rong Suihe's servants understand
Why did that man from Bu Nao become a bodyguard? Wasn't he the Queen's bodyguard
Xuanyu Feng's thoughts suddenly changed and he asked, "I wonder why the guards of Shengxi... How did they put the empress in trouble?"
The lieutenant general made an expression like "I don't know what to say." He spread his legs and said, "I can't get involved in that matter. The county master has to meet with the empress."
Xuanyu Feng thought that he probably couldn't ask more questions, so he handed the purse he took out, walked him to the door personally, exchanged a few words with him, watched the wrong person board the car and drove away, then turned around and went back. Mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran to find Sheng Weiqiao and asked, "What's going on with Sheng Xi?!"
"Ah Xi?" Sheng Weiqiao had almost forgotten about Gongsun Xi. He only remembered it when his aunt asked him about it and said, "What? Did he ask someone in the palace to bring him a message? Ah, that's right. Why didn't Mi Zhen forget him so much?" Is Wangchungong transferred?"
Xuan Yu Feng said dissatisfied: "He doesn't know anything, and I'm just here to ask him questions?! So what's going on?!"
Seeing that her aunt Qiu was angry, Sheng Weiqiao got up and recounted the whole story in a low voice, then said in confusion: "...According to the agreement between the Queen and Mi Zhen at that time, Ah Xi should have been transferred away from Wangchun Palace long ago! Why were you working as a guard at Wangchun Palace at that time?"
"Is that easy to say?" Xuanyu Feng frowned for a while and then sneered, "The palace people have already said that Mi Zhen wanted to beg him to go to the county prince's palace, but he refused, and the queen was probably in his way. Whether it was because of the savior, it was hard to force him away... He thought that the boy was probably ambitious and no longer wanted to work under Mi Zhen's legs, so he was planning to take refuge with the Meng family under his identity as the Queen's savior! "
"...Isn't that too bad?" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Even if the Meng family doesn't know whether Axi followed Mi Zhen since childhood, but because Axi comes from his Sheng family , coupled with the fact that he has made an engagement with Mi Zhen during the Ming Dynasty, can he be trusted when he joins the Meng family?"
What's more, Gongsun Xi's ability is mainly for assassination and the like. Meng's family has been prosperous for so many years, and there is a son of Zheng Guogong in the northern Xinjiang army. It is definitely not in short supply.
Gongsun Xi defected to the past... How can he be put to good use
No matter what you think, can you continue to be Rong Suihe's number one confidant
"Did he and Mi Zhen grow up together?" Wu Xuan Yu Feng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Did he betray Mi Zhen to Meng?!"
