Although Hua Xiwan was well aware of the filth between the emperor and the crown prince, there was a bit of sadness on her face, she wiped the reddish corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a sense of disappointment: "Then there will be Eunuch Laoma, the crown prince. Now that it's gone, it's really heartbreaking."
"My concubine, please condolences. If the Crown Princess Zaizhiling knew that you were so sad, she would not be able to feel at ease." Eunuch Ma also had a look of regret, but in front of Hua Xiwan, who was still sad, he still tried his best to comfort him.
"You're right," Hua Xiwan smiled reluctantly, "then you will be tired a lot these days."
"The slaves don't dare." Eunuch Ma was still respectful on the face, but he was secretly shocked. He originally thought that Princess Xian was favored by her father and brother since she was a child, and she was very considerate after her marriage. She must be a simple-minded person. Who knows There was nothing wrong with his words and deeds.
Sure enough, how can a woman who can sit firmly and show her concubine without a concubine in the entire palace really have no scheming, but it is because outsiders subconsciously judge people by their appearance after seeing her appearance.
In the next corner, Princess Duanhe, who had been mute all the time, looked at Eunuch Ma and Hua Xiwan's attitude with cold eyes, frowning slightly. There are many female relatives in the side hall, and Hua Xiwan is not the only concubine. Why did Eunuch Ma come to meet her
The more she thought about it, the more ugly Princess Duanhe's face became. She couldn't help but look back at Princess Minhui, who was sitting in the other corner, and stroked the plain white flower on her temples. .
Now that the queen has been abolished and the queen dowager has died, there is no one in charge of the entire harem. So when the crown princess died, some of the palace servants in the palace who didn't have long brains had all kinds of thoughts, causing the harem rumours to continue, and it was very unbearable. Some people even dared to rumor that the crown prince and the emperor were picking ashes, provoking the emperor's anger and killing him many people.
Here, before the crown princess was buried, rumors were flying all over the place, and there was even a commotion among the people. Someone who was bold actually made up a biography of another emperor and the crown prince, and made a vigorous compilation of "Chang Si Song". Provoked a lot of people applauded.
The people of Weiwei Temple wanted to seal it up, but they were not easy to do so. These vulgar novels are always there, not to mention that this biography was written in a tragic way, and there were plots of patriotism and loyalty to the monarch. What reason did they use to prohibit the dissemination of the biography, saying Is this book alluding to royalty? Or is the impact bad
Isn't this not self-advising, there is no silver 300 taels here
Some rumors are passed on and no one takes them seriously, but if they are banned, it will only spread the rumors in private, and even make people who didn't trust them believe in the content of the rumors.
It is a pity that Emperor Qilong had a good reputation all his life, but he still lost such a reputation in his later years. Emperor Qilong also knew that he could not ban the rumors of the people in an upright manner. In the end, he just let it go, and turned his head to marry the daughter of the Zhang family, who had always been a scholarly family.
Soon there were rumors among the people that the emperor went to Zhang's family in private, and when he saw Zhang's daughter, he suddenly thought that he was a concubine of a god, and was shocked by the gods. He even asked his parents for Zhang's daughter.
As for how the emperor went to the Zhang family to meet the girl from the side branch, how could ordinary girls see Tianyan under the heavy guards, the common people would not care, anyway, many people swear that this Zhang family girl looks good That is a whole country and a city, even Princess Xian can't compare.
Hua Xiwan, who was innocently used by the common people as a reference, was speechless when she heard the rumors from the outside world. Is this girl beautiful or not, how could she be linked to her
Now that the crown princess had just passed the first seven, she thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, but as a result, the old emperor was going to marry the queen, and the one who was married to the second aunt's family was a supporter, which was really interesting.
The daughter of the Zhang family, who will enter the palace in two months, is named Qingyan. Hua Xiwan has never met her, but before she got married, she heard her second aunt praise her good looks. .
With the current age of Emperor Qilong, he should not be the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, but now there are rumors that the emperor fell in love with Zhang Qingyan at first sight, and fell in love at first sight. Could it be that Emperor Qilong wanted to wash away the ashes before cleaning up? Stigma
What could be more curious than the most noble man in the world falling in love with a certain beauty at first sight
So whether the emperor is really tempted or not, he can only be tempted for his own reputation.
If the emperor really took the ashes with the crown prince, how could he be tempted by others so easily, so the matter of the ashes must be a rumor, someone with a heart to slander the emperor and the deceased crown princess.
Even the dead are not spared, how immoral this is, such people should be spurned.
The common people follow the crowd, or they like to gossip. The truth is not that important to them. The important thing is that the gossip is interesting, and that’s enough.
"Yan Boyi is capable of pushing the emperor to this point," Yan Jinqiu said with a half-smile after reading the various legends his subordinates had collected from the folk, throwing the information aside, and suddenly said with a sullen face: "But What is this Zhang Qingyan, and what does she compare with my princess?"
Mu Tong silently lowered his head lower.
"Shh!"
A stack of documents was thrown at his feet, and he buried his waist down again.
"Keep an eye on Yan Boyi. If he does something, we will help him." Yan Jinqiu took a deep breath and stood up from the desk, "Go to the princess."
Hua Xiwan didn't know that her man was careful because of rumors outside, because she felt that Yan Jinqiu would not take such trivial matters that even her own family would care about. So it wasn't until the two of them finished their lunch and stayed together alone, and Yan Jinqiu was dissatisfied with the Zhang family's virginity in his words, that he realized that something was wrong.
Is it because the younger brother of the second aunt's mother's family offended Yan Jinqiu at the beginning, so he has always disliked the Zhang family, and even Zhang Qingyan, who has a side branch, can't get into his eyes
"How do you know that this girl from the Zhang family is not very good? Could it be that you have met her?" Hua Xiwan leaned lazily on his shoulder and looked at him suspiciously from the corner of her eyes, "Otherwise, how could you know her so well? "The Hua family and the Zhang family are related by marriage, and they still don't know what the girl next to them is like.
"Where did you think of where you went?" Yan Jinqiu smiled helplessly, "It's just that this side member of the Zhang family is very ignorant of current affairs, but he just entered the palace to be a decoration queen, and he is too embarrassed to use you as a raft, I really don't know about the palace. What are their thoughts?"
Although the Zhang family has a clear name for hundreds of years, up to now, only the main family still has a bit of the spirit of the ancestors, and these side branches are not very popular. If it is not because the emperor is old and married again Is it a successor, where will this queen get their family's person
What's more, behind the Zhang family and the emperor...
Because whoever is the main line of the real family doesn't know the emperor's tricks, who would be willing to send his innocent daughter to the palace to be a mud bodhisattva who can't talk and do things at will.
"What's on your mind?" Hua Xiwan asked suspiciously.
Yan Jinqiu sneered, patted the back of her hand, and sighed: "Your second aunt's parents' side branch is not a worry. Where do you think the rumors that use you as a comparison come from?"
Hua Xiwan suddenly said, "Is their family using me to make a statement?"
Yan Jinqiu sighed and acquiesced. After a while, he said, "I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would think too much. Now that I've reached this point, I can't do it if I don't tell you."
Seeing his serious expression, Hua Xiwan sat up straight, ready to listen carefully to Yan Jinqiu's secrets behind Zhang's family.
"Although the Zhang family is an aristocratic family admired by countless scholars, but if you think about it, is the Zhang family really as noble as the world's rumors say?"
Hua Xiwan thought of her second aunt and the great deeds that the Zhang family had done in the past dynasties, and suddenly realized that after the Zhang family's fame in recent decades, the royal family was suspected of "hyping up" the Zhang family.
"It is not so much that the current Zhang family is a well-known scholarly family, it is better to say that the Zhang family is a loyal dog raised by the royal family. They are indisputable on the face of the world, but in fact they are the emperor's private eyeliner, not only attracting scholars from all over the world, but also helping The emperor has a lot of secrets of the family," Yan Jinqiu sneered, "If the Zhang family was a hundred years ago, it is indeed worthy of admiration, but now..."
"No, if that's the case, how could the emperor think that I took my appearance without any salt?" Hua Xiwan shook her head and said, "My second aunt knows what I look like."
"Do you think as long as the Zhang family can do things for the emperor?" Yan Jinqiu sighed, "Your second aunt is not very friendly to you, and if you want to say bad things about you, why would she go back to her mother's house to defend you specially? I'm afraid that those rumors back then also included her credit." How could he tell Hua Xiwan, with the mind and means of the second aunt of the Hua family, how could the Zhang family feel at ease to let her do these things that require brains
No matter how unpleasant Mrs Zhang is, she is now a woman of the Hua family, so he should save some face for his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family.
Hua Xiwan was at a loss for words, should she still thank her second aunt for her selfless dedication
"No, fortunately she is jealous of you, otherwise how could I marry you," Yan Jinqiu said with a smile, "It seems that even God is helping me, and God told us that we are a natural couple."
It's not so much God's will, it's a mistake. If the second aunt could not be jealous back then, the third aunt was not dissatisfied with the Hou Mansion, and the big sister did not imply the Minhui County Master because of jealousy, so that the Minhui County Master thought she was ugly. If there is no salt, then she and Yan Jinqiu will not have such a marriage.
Or maybe her parents and brothers didn't protect her like this, and they worked hard for her, so she and Yan Jinqiu couldn't get to this point.
Could it be that there really is a so-called fate destined for marriage
She is a staunch materialist, and she really feels slapped in the face when she encounters something like Transcending God's Will.
"It's no wonder that after the second aunt's younger brother died, the emperor made a special trip to confer a title on the old man of the Zhang family, and also adopted a child from the side. There is such a reason," Hua Xiwan sighed, "I just said that the one was not so kind."
Hearing Hua Xiwan mentioning the young master of the Zhang family, Yan Jinqiu's eyelids moved slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Whatever the Zhang family's plans, they had to take the necessary risks when they connected with the above. We can only blame their Zhang family for their lack of heart for their untimely death."
Hua Xiwan scratched her chin and sighed in her heart. No wonder the royal family died early. Excessive use of the brain can lead to premature aging!
