Of course Princess Gaomi was very angry when she learned that Rong Suihe admitted in public that he was afraid of Sheng Weiqiao: "He said that the little girl was a fuel-efficient lamp! Sure enough, she had been married for more than half a year, and she didn't know how to give in front of others. Husband, save some face! If the Sheng family has raised their daughter like that, she is completely uneducated!"
Aunt Zhao asked: "When Dongci sent the things over, could you please give a few words to the princess?"
Speaking of which, Aunt Zhao usually refused to persuade Princess Gaomi to make peace when she was dissatisfied with Sheng Weiqiao.
That's not to say that Aunt Wei Yu has any special affection for Sheng Weiqiao. I wonder if you consider that Rong Shuihe dotes on the princess of the county very much, but is emotionally alienated from his own mother, Princess Gaomi. She was worried that Princess Gaomi would be too harsh on Sheng Weiqiao, which would worsen the already close relationship between mother and son.
That time in Bu Nao, Aunt Zhao was a little dissatisfied with Sheng Weiqiao: she knows I am favored and knows that I will take care of her husband, can you
In front of people, especially in front of officials like Ni Jidao, Dai Gulian, and Lou Peng, if my husband admits that he is afraid of me, in Aunt Zhao's opinion, that would be really ignorant!
Even if Rong Suihe said that, Sheng Weiqiao was not present at all, and even a discerning person could see it. Rong Suihe made an excuse for rejecting several requests from Ni Jidao. However, for those who favor Rong Suihe, it is wrong. Unavoidably, he couldn't help but anger Sheng Wei and Qiao Buqi Xianhui: "I can't go to Dai's house to make a big fuss. I should be more thoughtful and ask Ni Jidao. Why don't they dare to ask? Why don't they have no reason to ask Rong Suihe?"
So Aunt Zhao didn't want to help Sheng Weiqiao shut up that time.
However, when Princess Gaomi heard this, she shook her head and sneered: "He really doesn't like He'er's wife, but if some people think that he will willingly serve as a spearman for them, are they wrong?" !”
Do you think she is stupid
Because of Ruru's large-scale invasion, northern Xinjiang was not the focus of the country's attention at that time. Not long after the past few months, news about western Xinjiang had actually spread, and it spread to the palace, so that the princess heard it. Behind the scenes, What is the person’s intention? Do you think she can’t see it
Don't you want her to find trouble with Sheng Weiqiao
Although Princess Gaomi really looked down upon her daughter-in-law and felt that Sheng Weiqiao was unworthy of her son from head to toe, she was not so confused as to step into the trap knowing that someone was instigating her!
At this moment, not only did he not intend to cause trouble to Sheng Weiqiao, he ordered Aunt Zhao, "I will ask people to pack some rouge, gouache, clothing, jewelry, etc., and send them to Western Xinjiang when the weather is not at its worst." He's daughter-in-law, by the way, tell her to ignore those nonsense words. He, the mother-in-law, didn't say anything about their young couple. Who else has the right to gossip?! If anyone dares to talk too much, I tell her not to. Give him the color, and if anything happens, he will bear it!"
There was no secret about Princess Gaomi's dislike of Sheng Weiqiao. At that time, Changan Zai Dongdong knew about Rong Suihe's public admission of xenophobia, and he probably wanted to watch the fun.
Of course, Mrs. Sheng and his party in Chang'an, including the Xu family, were all worried.
Mr. Sheng specially asked Mrs. Nan of Marquis Ningwei to go to the palace to see Princess Gaomi and try to explain to Sheng Weiqiao.
Although Nan made a mistake after visiting Princess Gaomi and said that the princess thought it was not the interest between a young couple, and outsiders were not qualified to comment, there was still a lot of discussion in private.
Even Empress Dowager Meng was persuaded by Meng's family and specially summoned Princess Gaomi into the palace to comment on the matter: "Although Mi Zhen is famous for her love for the princess of the county, can it be that the state-owned legal family has family rules? It is unreasonable to be too indulgent." !”
"Is the Empress Mother saying that? Empress Bu Nao also knows that Kang Zhao has always been gentle and virtuous, otherwise the Empress Mother and the Emperor's Wife would not have agreed to grant her the title of County Lord, right?" It turned out that Princess Gaomi said calmly, "So He'er It's a joke to say that you are afraid of Kang Zhao, but it's because Kang Zhao has always been virtuous, and those who persuaded him are not serious. He'er follows the good, and that's a good thing. It turns out that I don't know what those people are thinking, and treat them well. What happened to the couple?"
Taking advantage of the situation, he begged, "That matter is really too much. I really beg my mother to make the decision for Kang Zhao and his wife!"
Empress Dowager Meng was older, and she was not a very powerful person in the first place. If her energy was low, her reaction would be slower. After hearing this, she thought for a while and then said: "Of course Kang Zhao is good. Bu Nao is a good daughter. With Being a good daughter-in-law will definitely make a difference. Whether the Ai family treats her as a granddaughter now, it doesn't matter whether she has a little temper or a little temperament. However, since she was treated by Mi Zhen at that time My wife is the granddaughter-in-law of the Ai family. Isn’t it that the Ai family doesn’t like those willful and squeamish things in the past? After all, doesn’t the Ai family love Mi Zhen more?”
"I'm ashamed to say that my daughter-in-law doesn't love He'er as much as my mother does." Princess Gaomi said lightly, "My daughter-in-law treats Kang Zhao as her own daughter, so her little tempers, little tempers, and so on, my daughter-in-law doesn't care. I think that means young people are energetic! It’s not like my daughter-in-law stays in the house all day long and feels gloomy."
Empress Dowager Meng saw that Sheng Weiqiao had a problem with whether she refused to admit her fault, and was too lazy to waste any more time. She was just looking for an excuse to send her away. However, Mrs. Xiang, who was accompanying her at the moment, was unwilling to accept it and interrupted with a smile: "Although It is said that the princess of Mi Zhen County was unanimously approved by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother before her marriage. She obviously has a very good nature. As people say, people are fickle. The princess of Mi Zhen County had been in confinement in Western Xinjiang for some time at that time. I heard that the folk customs there Women's habits are fierce and fierce, especially unlike ours in Chang'an. Can't we say that the leader of the Jishan bandits is actually a female?"
"Perhaps the princess of Mi Zhen County has changed her temperament after she went to Western Xinjiang? So the princess did not blame her for the snacks, so that the prince of the county would not be wronged and feel sorry for you later?"
Princess Gaomi was smiling and didn't even look at her: "As for the housework, my mother asked if it was considerate, so I won't worry about it to Madam! After all, Madam Xiang is entering the palace this time, and she will definitely ask to visit the Spring Palace later. Queen, please go back to the Duke's Palace, and please personally take care of the Eighth Young Master. My wife is already gone, so how can I bother you again with the affairs of their Palace?"
"..." Mrs. Xiang was furious. She couldn't tell whether Princess Gaomi was mocking her own daughter for being a widow and her own son being disabled. !
If she didn't wait for her attack, Empress Dowager Meng gave a dry cough and said: "Okay! The Ai family is exhausted, let's go do whatever we need to do. Wait until the Ai family is well again, then ask us to shut up!"
When the Queen Mother said that, she looked at Mrs. Xiang helplessly. That former confidant, the female official, was too forgetful. Isn't Princess Gaomi a fuel-efficient lamp? Haven't you seen her Queen Mother always being polite to her nominal daughter-in-law
Although that woman had not been out and about for fifteen years because she was sad that her young son was living abroad, but just looking at the palace of the grandson and grandson in the side hall of Xinshou Palace, Princess Deping was nothing more than a mere concubine. There are only two legitimate daughters, so if you give them up, you will give them up.
No matter how you say it, Concubine Mo is not the biological mother of King Gaomi. Even if she did something that made King Gaomi displeased, she is still ignored by the huge palace of Gaomi. Even if she is not the biological son of King Gaomi, she will only attend the New Year's Eve banquet every year. Now, after drinking for three rounds, I took the time to go to the side hall of Xinshou Palace to talk to her for a while, and then hurriedly went there to have a good dinner... The Queen Mother would not think that the government affairs of the King of Gaomi would be so complicated. There are many rifts between mother and son, and it is obvious that the root cause must be Princess Gaomi.
From that incident alone, we knew that the princess was definitely not as sick as she appeared to be.
Mrs. Xiang's mind is at the bottom among ordinary ladies. Wouldn't you be humiliating yourself by trying to compete with her
"Mother, who doesn't know that Mrs. Zhao is most disgusted with Princess Meng of Mi Zhen County?" However, Mrs. Xiang didn't know Empress Dowager Meng's kindness. After Princess Gaomi resigned and left, she quickly said to the Empress Dowager, "Just now you asked her in person, but she It’s full of nonsense, it’s obvious that I don’t take you seriously!”
Empress Dowager Meng sighed. She couldn't help but scolded anyone else. However, after all, Mrs. Xiang had been with the old man for many years and had a good confinement for a few days after marrying into Zheng Guogong's house. The Empress Dowager felt a little pity in her heart. She said gently and gently: "Of course she doesn't take the Yi family seriously. After all, I don't want to think about whose wife she is? If they are a filial couple, why would the Yi family worry so much?"
He added, "Moreover, she refused to admit her fault in front of the Ai family and Kang Zhao was dissatisfied. Who knows what Si Dongli was thinking?"
Seeing the Queen Mother's lack of interest, Mrs. Xiang didn't dare to pester her. She angrily went to the Spring Palace to see Queen Meng. As soon as they met, she said bad things about Princess Gaomi: "Look at the way she looks like she's letting out her breath but not taking it in! I don't know how terrible it is. Can’t she live past next year? Didn’t she remind her that as a mother-in-law, she shouldn’t indulge her daughter-in-law too much, as if she doesn’t know that she doesn’t like Sheng Weiqiao, but in turn pokes fun at his heart!”
Empress Meng was the most impatient when she muttered about those things that were not there. After hearing this, she said lukewarmly: "Didn't that person who was pointed out to King Gaomi personally by the late emperor himself, her own mother-in-law, Concubine Mo, fight against her? I Why are you provoking her? If I don’t offend her, why would she take the initiative to cause trouble for me? "
"Whose daughter am I?!" Mrs. Xiang said dissatisfiedly, "He was so angry that he didn't forget to come see me. Can't I be more considerate to him?!"
The queen said: "If he begs for my daughter, he won't let me come in and walk away at that time... What's the matter? I can't think of him even if nothing happens!"
"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Xiang said angrily, "Can't he really come to see me tomorrow?"
The queen said "hmm": "Then I saw it, can I leave?"
"Is it because I am so angry with him all the time that he doesn't want to come!" Mrs. Xiang burst into tears immediately, "Then I feel that he doesn't love me and doesn't come to see me often!"
The relationship between mother and daughter was not good to begin with. They always felt aggrieved, and they probably complained about each other when they met.
After some bickering at that time, Mrs. Xiang reluctantly explained the purpose of her visit: "Although my brother is disabled, he has recovered a lot after that period of recuperation. After what happened to him, he actually Have you calmed down and stopped fooling around like before? At that time, I also wanted to do something. If nothing else, I just wanted to say that once something is accomplished in the future, I won’t end up with nothing because I haven’t accomplished anything yet. turn out to be."
"If Meng's affairs come true in the future, not to mention what he will do, he is afraid of not getting a title or something?" Queen Meng refused to admit it, but in her heart she had always cared about Mrs. Xiang's preference for boys over girls. When she heard this He sneered, "After all, if the Meng family succeeds in usurping the throne, Zheng Guogong will be the third brother. When the time comes, Bage will be the emperor's younger brother if he is not the prince."
"According to the rules of the dynasty, the prince will be crowned king regardless of whether he is favored or not. The only difference is whether he has more power or not!"
"If not my dear brother, I expect that the third brother will not be stingy... After all, the kind of person like Bage who seeks ability but no ability, fame and fame, and virtue but no virtue is very crippled. He is not a threat at all. No matter how much favor he adds, he will not be stingy. I won’t become the third brother’s pet peeve, so what better way to act as a guise of brothers and sisters, isn’t it?”
Mrs. Xiang threw the teacup on the table angrily: "What did I say? It's rare that my brother is willing to come in, why can't I say a few nice words?!"
Queen Meng said coldly: "He is entering, what does it matter to him?! Anyway, I have my son in my eyes, and he has himself in his eyes! Our mother and son are not living well, and we will not forget to drag him down! We are living a good life. , and wouldn’t remember to support him! In that case, what did I tell him about Zhi Tong? Not to mention that he was a chess piece at that time and had no power at all in his legs, so he couldn’t help us with anything! That’s it! Yes, he doesn’t want to help either!”
"Even if I don't have power now, would my third brother always think highly of me and recommend me to be the queen?" Mrs. Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "What if I am willing to write him a personal letter to explain my brother's presence?" What do you mean, will my third brother give me that face!? I don’t want to do that little thing for my brothers, so I’m embarrassed to blame them for alienating me?!”
The queen said coldly: "Then it's no? He has never met the third brother at all, but he gave him a good future. It's too late for him to be grateful, so why can he continue to cause trouble to him?"
... The mother and daughter quarreled for more than half an hour that day, and Mrs. Xiang left in tears.
After she left, the queen was in a bad mood. She walked around the bedroom dozens of times before telling Chun Lai with a stern face: "If she comes again in the future, I will find an excuse to send her away! He doesn't want to see her again." she!"
Chunlai cautiously agreed, and then heard Queen Meng continue, "It's very bad. Don't tell him the news about their mother and son from now on!!!"
Queen Meng felt that she was dealing with a biological mother and brother like Mrs. Xiang and Meng Boheng, and it was as if she had committed sins in her previous life!
But they didn't know that after Mrs. Xiang left the imperial city in tears, she returned to Zheng Guogong's mansion. She met the eldest maid again and came to report tremblingly, saying: "The Duke just ordered that the ink at the Tenth Young Master's house is very bad. I’ll ask you to come back and send a better batch over.”
Very well, "The Didong people gave a bridegroom to the Duke of Guo yesterday. The Duke liked it very much and planned to give it to the newlyweds. He asked his wife to prepare something for the newlyweds. The ratio was much better than before... I used to be more charming. Aunt Yu!"
