Eight Treasures Trousseau

Chapter 65: true and false

Views:

The next morning, Mutong delivered the things to the third master Hua's mansion, and also received a thank you message and a pair of embroidered shoes made by the second lady Hua for the princess. The uppers of the embroidered shoes are made of high-quality brocade, with beautiful patterns embroidered on them. Rao Shimu has seen many nobles, and he has to praise the shoes for their beautiful work. It can be seen that the people who make the shoes are very attentive. .

After returning to the palace, Mu Tong told Hua Sanye's mansion in 1510, and presented the embroidered shoes made by Hua Chuyu for Hua Xiwan.

"Such beautiful shoes," Hua Xiwan opened the box and said with a smile, "It's this time, and the second sister is still thinking about making me a pair of beautiful shoes."

Yan Jinqiu laughed when he heard the words: "Listen to what you said, I'm afraid this is not the first pair of shoes that the second cousin made for you?"

"Second sister's embroidery work is very good, and I have not been interested in embroidery since I was a child, so I used to make clothes and shoes for me in my spare time, but now she is about to get married, and she still misses me. Holding the embroidered shoes, Hua Xiwan remembered that after she rescued Hua Chuyu from the pond, Hua Chuyu treated herself like her own sister. After all these years, Hua Chuyu is still like this.

Yan Jinqiu nodded, he was not good at commenting on the daughters of the Hua family, but whoever was sincere or fake to Hua Xiwan, he still remembered: "She treats you like this, and you don't care about her in vain. ."

Hua Xiwan laughed, Yan Jinqiu's words were a bit biased, and he meant to speak on her side everywhere, but she understood that to Yan Jinqiu, she was his princess, and whether others were good or bad, he naturally will be judged from his point of view.

This is probably human nature, and she would not be hypocritical to think that Yan Jinqiu was not good enough to her family, so she smiled helplessly: "Sister relationship is to be maintained with sincerity, who wants to exchange sincerity for falseness, My second sister and I have been sisters for many years, and naturally we can't help but feel better for each other."

"I heard that the second cousin is engaged to the heir of the Hewen Hou family?" Yan Jinqiu said casually, as if he suddenly remembered this, "Hewen Hou heir is in the capital, and he can be considered a gentleman who is the same on the outside. He was a good choice."

Hua Xiwan looked at Yan Jinqiu suspiciously. Is this true or false? Hewen Hou Lin's family is the prince's family, and when Hua Chuyu is married to the Lin family, Yan Jinqiu is not worried

Her eyes were so straightforward that Yan Jinqiu could see what she was thinking at a glance, and he stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped her forehead: "The Lin family has been upright and caring about the people from generation to generation, and they are very respected by the people. Lin Zhengde is even more so. Young and promising, pure-minded, and not a lustful person, such a person is worthy of your second sister."

Be honest and inform the people.

Young and promising, pure-hearted.

Hua Xiwan recalled how the queen disliked the crown prince in the past, and vaguely guessed a possibility that the Lin family was a little dissatisfied with the prince's actions, so after the crown prince married into the royal family, the Lin family was still very estranged from the prince's lineage, so Only when the queen treats the princess will she have such an attitude.

She was originally worried that the Lin family would treat Hua Chuyu badly, but now that she thinks about it carefully, the engagement of the first-born son of the Lin family to Hua Chuyu was considered a low marriage. In addition to valuing Hua Chuyu, the Lin family's request to marry Hua Chuyu may have other factors.

For example, they feel that Yan Jinqiu is not an ambitious person, so even if he has an in-law relationship with the Hua family, it doesn't matter. Another example is that they simply think that the Hua family is good, and Hua Chuyu is even better, so they want to marry him back. Another possibility is that the Lin family wanted to be tied up with Yan Jinqiu.

The more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, Hua Xiwan was too lazy to think about it any more, so she rubbed her forehead: "Since you say this person is good, then I will temporarily believe that he is good, and if he dares to be bad to the second sister in the future, I will rely on it. With your power, bring someone to the door."

"Okay." Yan Jinqiu replied with a smile, and then let the servant pass the meal, and the two washed their hands and prepared for lunch.

However, just after the dish was served, before the two of them had used two chopsticks, they heard shocking news that the Queen's family, the Fang family, was surrounded by the Guards.

Since the death of the prince, the Fang family has kept a low profile a lot, and now they are suddenly surrounded by the Janissaries. I don't know what serious crime was committed? The Guards are equivalent to the emperor's personal soldiers. When a minister commits a crime, it is basically Weiwei Temple to arrest people. Marble or the Ministry of Officials will try the case. Now the Guards suddenly replaced the work of Weiwei Temple. Don't think much.

Hua Xiwan didn't wonder for a long time. After half an hour, the news from the palace came out silently.

"The queen tried to poison the crown princess?" Hua Xiwan looked at Mu Tong who was passing the message in shock. She couldn't believe it. The queen is a woman who is very good at forbearance and planning, why did she suddenly do such an impulsive thing

Yan Jinqiu was also a little surprised. He was slightly startled, and then asked, "Is the news accurate?"

Mutong replied: "According to our people in the palace, the emperor was very angry about this matter, and wanted to abolish the queen, the emperor had a big fight in the house, and then the emperor ordered the imperial guards to surround the Fang family. The reason is to suspect that the Fang family and the queen conspired to poison the princess and the child in the prince's womb."

"The emperor is threatening the queen with the Fang family?" Hua Xiwan thought of the child in the prince's womb, as well as the deceased prince. Without a son, the queen has no hope, and the sanity and composure of the past may only have three points left, and more of it is madness. The emperor asked the imperial guards to surround the Fang's house, but to tell the queen to shut up, not to say everything that should be said and should not be said.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiwan suddenly felt disgusted in her heart. She originally thought that the prince was not a thing, but now it seems that the emperor is the most scumbag. The prince just inherited his style, and the scum is not enough, so Kill yourself.

What Hua Xiwan could think of, Yan Jinqiu also quickly figured out what was going on, but he thought more than Hua Xiwan: "Our people don't make any moves, let's see and talk about it." Who knows this is true, Or did the emperor and the queen play a play together to seduce the fish

A woman like the queen would rather go to her mother to keep a child, raise the child in the womb of the crown prince to grow up, and then become a respected empress dowager, and would not do such impulsive things. What's more, this news was only heard by people in the palace. Many people outside the palace still didn't know what was going on, and they would not have guessed that the queen would want to kill the child in the prince's womb.

In the eyes of the world, the queen should be more looking forward to the birth of the fetus than the emperor, so others will only think that the Fang family has done something, but will not think of what the queen has done. Anyway, in the eyes of everyone in Beijing, the Fang family It is normal for Feng Yang's domineering relatives to cause things that make the emperor unhappy.

Then there are only three kinds of people who can guess that the queen wants to poison the crown princess. One is the one who peeps at the harem with ambition; One is the one who knows too much about the harem, the other may be the person who once plotted against the prince so that he could not have an heir; the third is the person who knew that the fetus in the prince's womb was not the heir of the prince, but the heir of the emperor.

No matter which one of these three types of people is hooked, the emperor will not allow him to live, because in this world, only the dead can control their own mouths.

Hua Xiwan saw that Yan Jinqiu's expression was a bit wrong, and guessed that the matter might be more complicated than she thought, she suddenly felt sleepy, so she reluctantly drank a bowl of soup, walked around the house for a few times, and threw it away. Yan Jinqiu, who had a deep face, went back to his room and went to sleep.

A life that is too complicated is not suitable for her. She doesn't want to use her brain to age too fast, so she should go to take a beauty sleep in the afternoon.

"Your Highness, do you mean to suspect that this is a fraud?" Mu Tong was a little surprised, he didn't think of this level.

"Whether it's a fraud or not, it actually has nothing to do with us," Yan Jinqiu said with a half-smiling smile, "I'm just an idle prince who spends his days leisurely."

Mu Tong was suddenly stunned, and said with a bow: "Your Highness is wise."

The queen looked at the man sitting beside her indifferently, and after drinking 30% of a cup of tea, she said lightly, "The emperor is so sure that someone will jump out?"

"Ambitious people, how can they be willing to miss this good show?" Emperor Qilong and the Empress have become increasingly speechless recently, but seeing the Empress' haggard expression, she seems to have aged several years in just a few months. , He also felt a bit of guilt in his heart, "After the child is born, it will be raised by you, and the princess will go to the Taoist Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for the prince, and there will be no need to return to the palace in the future."

"The emperor is actually willing?" The queen looked up at the emperor, but there was no emotion in her eyes.

"There's nothing to give up, that's your grandson. I'll keep it in front of you, and I can rest assured." Emperor Qilong said calmly, "Even if the throne cannot be passed on to his son, he can still pass it on to his grandson."

The Queen's expression moved slightly, holding the teacup in her hands for a long while: "I understand, it's just that when a woman gives birth to a child, it is like breaking through a door of life and death, and life and death are uncertain."

Hearing this, the emperor looked at the empress with a complicated expression, paused for a moment and said, "This matter is ordained by the heavens."

"As long as the emperor doesn't feel distressed in the future." The queen put down the cup and said with a sullen expression, "Please rest assured, the emperor, the concubine will take good care of the prince concubine until...the emperor's grandson is born."

Emperor Qilong gave her a deep look, put down the teacup and stood up, "If that's the case, I can rest assured."

Seeing that he was leaving, the queen got up and gave a Wanfu ceremony: "The emperor walks slowly."

The emperor was about to open his mouth and closed it again. He looked at the queen's bowed head, turned around and walked out of the gate.

The queen looked up at his back, with no emotion in her eyes, as if the man who walked out was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
