Although Zhang Qingyan was only a successor and not a direct descendant, it was still the blood of the Zhang family. With the reputation of Zhang's family among scholars, before Zhang Qingyan entered the palace, there were already scholars who wrote poems and essays for her, and praised her marriage with Emperor Qilong.
It's a pity that no amount of gorgeous rhetoric, no matter how wonderful the praise, can't hide the fact that Emperor Qilong is already very old. A 16- or 17-year-old flowery woman, married to a man older than her father, could get anything but the noble phoenix position.
But Zhang Qingyan doesn't care. For her, it doesn't matter what the emperor looks like or how old he is. What matters is that she will soon become a famous queen in history. Chance
She listened to the poems praising her, listening to the compliments to her, and even she herself thought that she was the most outstanding woman in the world, what a talented and virtuous county master of Minhui, what a dignified princess of Shengjun, What is the best princess in the world, what is it compared to her
She is the queen and the most honorable woman in the world. These noble ladies who were once complimented and praised as high above all have to kneel in front of her. How refreshing is this.
"Miss, Mrs. Zhang is here. Madam invites you to meet the old lady in the front hall." A maid came in from the flower hall, and when she saw Zhang Qingyan was reading, she whispered, "Madam said, the old lady has seen many nobles, let her Giving more advice will also benefit you in your future days in the palace.”
Zhang Qingyan frowned when she heard the words, remembering the dignified and almost arrogant face of the master's old lady Zhang, and said, "When I went to the master's house to greet her, when is this person not looking high and high, and now that our family is gaining power, I want to climb It's ridiculous."
The maid was so disrespectful when she heard this, she wanted to cover her ears and pretend she didn't hear it, but the young lady is the future queen, and she didn't dare to show even the slightest disrespect.
In the front hall, Mrs. Zhang put down the tea cup in her hand calmly, and slowly wiped the corner of her mouth: "It seems that your girls don't have time to see my old lady. Well, it's getting late, I should be back."
"Old lady!" Mother Zhang's face turned red, but she had a dull personality and was not good at speaking. Seeing that the old lady of the host family was angry with her daughter, she quickly got up to help Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang had experienced the pain of losing her child, and now her heart is very peaceful. She glanced at the panic-stricken mother Zhang, patted the back of her hand lightly, and went out the door with a sigh.
Everyone outside thought that the Zhang family had flourished since then, but she felt that the Zhang family was now stuck in a quagmire that they could not climb out of. The emperor is very old and has no children. The grandson is young and born with ominous signs. Zhang Qingyan, a girl who doesn't know the world, enters the cannibalistic place in the palace. How capable is she to give birth to a prince
What is Zhang Qingyan's ability to do things that the concubines and concubines with deep hearts in the palace can't do
What's more, with the turbulent situation in the dynasty, Zhang Qingyan's temperament, to save his life is to accumulate a few lifetimes of virtue, and still want to have children
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Mrs. Zhang's mouth, thinking about her son who died inexplicably, and thinking about the filthy royal family, there was a trace of hatred in her eyes.
When she was about to get into the carriage, holding the maid's hand, she suddenly saw the royal guard of honor passing by the princess outside the alley. She couldn't help but glanced at it a few more times, and turned to ask the maid next to her, "Is Princess Xian passing by over there?"
The maid glanced carefully: "It seems that Princess Xian's car is passing by."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and sighed helplessly after she got into the carriage. Her son died early, and her eldest daughter was not a worry. She was jealous and short-sighted. They are brothers, I am afraid that they have already offended the family of Yi Anhou.
And her granddaughter, who was sent to the Taoist temple, didn't know what right or wrong she caused, but she forced the Hua family, who has always been generous to future generations, to do this, which is not a trivial thing to think about.
The only thing that makes her happy is that only her grandson Shang knows how to make progress and has a close relationship with the younger generation. I heard that Princess Lian Xian is also quite close to him. A few days ago, he even sent the answer sheets of the past imperial examinations to his grandson. It can be seen from this move that the Hua family values his grandson.
No one from the aristocratic family can get rid of the support of the family. If even the entire family is not welcome, unless the entire court changes the world, or this life will be out of the limelight.
Now, seeing that the saint is getting worse and worse, although King Sheng seems to be in the limelight, in fact, compared with the famous King Xian, who is loved by quite famous people, he is actually inferior.
If the king is...
Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to think about it any longer, and began to lean against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to rest.
I just ask Zhang Qingyan's family to be unaware of the last resorts of King Xian, otherwise, with Hua's status in King Xian's heart, after a hundred years of being a saint, I am afraid that even the Zhang family will be implicated.
Hua Xiwan didn't know that the old lady of the Zhang family was thinking about herself. She went out today not for others, but to see Hua Yiliu.
A few days ago, Hua Yiliu was clamoring to see her, but she ignored it. Who would have guessed that she started to go crazy in the past two days, not only smashing things, but also hurting the Taoist nun in the temple, and tossing the maidservant beside her. , she had no choice but to go out for this trip.
In her memory, although Hua Yiliu had a dull temper, she was not a tyrannical person. Now that the trouble was like this, even in the eyes of her second uncle, she had to go this way.
"Princess, here we are."
Hua Xiwan supported Hongying's hand and got off the carriage, and the Taoist priests who had always received her gave each other a Taoist salute, and then smiled and said, "My sister has come to the temple to recuperate recently because she is not feeling well, and I've disturbed the Taoist priests."
"Immeasurable longevity, Sanqing mercy, and trouble," Nudao led Hua Xiwan into the Taoist temple, all the way to the west, and after everyone came to a quiet and pleasant courtyard, Nudao stopped and said, "Gongde Lord, in front of it is the courtyard where Layman Hua lives, please."
"Thank you, Daoist Master," Hua Xiwan brought a group of maids and eunuchs to the yard. Before entering the main room, she heard the sound of beating and beating from the room, and her brows wrinkled slightly.
Seeing this, Hongying took a few steps forward and said, "Slave Hongying, meet Miss Tang."
The main room suddenly fell silent. After a while, the main door slowly opened. The door was opened by a little girl who was a little shy, wearing a half-old gown. When she saw that it was Hua Xiwan, she looked like a turtle dove. He seemed to be huddled in the corner of the door.
Seeing the appearance of the little maid, Hongying frowned slightly, looked up at the door, and saw Hua Yiliu sitting at the huanghuali wood table. Hua Yiliu was wearing a willow-colored Confucian dress, and her hair, which was combed into a lily bun, had a ruby-inlaid golden step swaying, giving it an indescribable swagger.
"You are finally here," Hua Yiliu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then slowly put down the teacup, took out the embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, "My sister wants to see you, It's not easy enough."
Hongying's brows furrowed even tighter. Miss Tang's attitude and tone seemed a bit like a princess. What did she want to do
Hua Xiwan's eyes slowly swept across Hua Yiliu's wrist wearing a jade-encrusted gold bracelet, and smiled lightly: "If it's hot today, wearing a gold bracelet is not very comfortable after all. My sister has two pairs of glazed bracelets. If you dislike it, play it with it." How could she not see that Hua Yiliu's attitude towards her was not right, she is not someone who repays her grievances with virtue, and since others don't give her face, she can't afford to give her face to others to beat.
"My sister is a princess now, and I don't have any rare items. My sister, I am blessed, but I don't deserve these good things!" Hua Yiliu suddenly sneered and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and suddenly the good china shattered into pieces , the little maid who was hiding in the corner of the door was even more frightened, as if she was extremely afraid of Hua Yiliu's move.
Seeing Hua Yiliu's moody appearance, Hua Xiwan was not angry, but sat down on a nearby chair, slowly waving the fan in her hand, and looked at Hua Yiliu with a smile that was not a smile: "My sister's name is I'm here, I don't know why?"
"Let me out!" Hua Yiliu looked at her with burning eyes, "I know you can definitely let me out!"
Hua Xiwan shook her fan's hand for a moment, looked up at the elegant furnishings in the room, and sighed: "Sister's condition, please forgive my sister."
"Why?!"
"Why can you be my master?"
"Even if you are the princess, are you the only one who is the daughter of the Hua family?!"
Hua Yiliu stared at Hua Xiwan with split eyes, if it wasn't for the two strong maids blocking him, I'm afraid she would have jumped in front of Hua Xiwan.
Hua Xiwan saw Hua Yiliu's crazy look of resentment, and an indescribable complex meaning rose in her heart: "I originally thought that if my sister left that family, I would be able to live a peaceful life again, but I didn't expect it to happen. come this far."
Hua Yiliu, who was still mad at the beginning, was stunned like a lightning strike, and after a while, she covered her face and cried, "What do you think, you are now a prince and concubine, and you have become the envy of everyone in the capital. Woman, have you ever thought of my difficulties?"
Hongying, who has always been quick-tempered, couldn't help but said, "Miss Tang, your marriage is under the control of the second lady, so what does it have to do with our princess? With the support of you at the door of the house, how could our princess ever feel sorry for you. On the contrary, it was you who deliberately misled Princess Minhui back then, leading the royal family to think that the princess was really a shameless girl, if it wasn’t for you…”
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today," Hua Xiwan didn't want Hongying to talk too much, she looked at Hua Yiliu, who was full of resentment, and suddenly lost her interest, "I asked myself whether Where I am sorry for my sister, since my sister is full of resentment towards me, then I have nothing to say."
"From childhood to adulthood, you are always better than me, and your father is a marquis. The father and brother in the house love you and protect you. All day long, you just enjoy watching flowers, tasting delicious food, and learning some martial arts to spend your days lazy. But as for me, I study the way of women all day long and manage the family. Even so, I'm not as good as you in every way, don't you just have a better face than me?" Hua Yiliu sneered, "If your face is not there, it will be obvious. Will the king still fall in love with you?"
After listening to this, Hua Xiwan said with a smile: "So what? To test a man's mind, I have to scratch my face?"
What Hua Yiliu hated the most was Hua Xiwan's inattentive look, as if as long as she opened her mouth, the things she wanted would be delivered to her. But they are all daughters of the Hua family. Why are some people lucky and others unfortunate
Even Hua Yiliu herself doesn't know when she started to be jealous of Hua Xiwan, maybe it was when her always cold grandmother was extra gentle to the third sister, or maybe it was when it was rumored that the third sister was pretty good looking but she was able to marry King Xian. , or her marriage was unfortunate, and she became the famous Princess Xian, or the person she liked was... She once also hoped that Hua Xiwan would have a good life, but when Hua Xiwan gets better, the better , but when she could only live like a withered life, she gradually had hatred in her heart.
Unable to hate her parents, Hua Xiwan, who is so beautiful, has become an outlet for her emotions.
"Sister spoke so sternly to me, but what I relied on was my tolerance for my mother's family," Hua Xiwan's smile gradually subsided, "Our cousins have been more than ten years old, you naturally know that I will not be because of a man. It wants your life. But you never thought about whether the man you are thinking about will give you one more look and whether he will kill you."
Hua Xiwan was fed up with the matter of Hua Yiliu, so she simply said, "The Hua family sent you to Taoist Temple, but to save your life. If you really want to leave, I will not stop you. The Hua family can keep you. For a while, can you keep you forever?"
Hua Yiliu was stunned for a moment, she wanted to say that King Xian with such a beautiful moon could not be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but she couldn't say it when she opened her voice.
After a long while, he covered his mouth and leaned back on the chair feebly.
Seeing her like this, Hua Xiwan stood up and said in a calm tone: "If elder sister calms down, think about the road in the future, Taoist temple is a pure place for the gods, if you continue to make trouble like this, it will disturb the spiritual retreat. , that's not very good."
After saying this, she walked out of the door. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Hua Yiliu. She looked back, and Hua Yiliu was sitting on the chair with a strange expression.
"Is everything my sister just said true?"
Hua Xiwan sighed: "Why should I lie to you about this kind of thing?"
"I see." Hua Yiliu lowered her head to hide her emotions, and after a while she raised her head and smiled at Hua Xiwan: "Sister walk slowly, I won't send you off."
Hua Xiwan nodded and stepped out of the threshold.
"Be careful on the road."
Hua Xiwan turned back and saw Hua Yiliu's face hidden in the shadow of the light, but the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed.
