Xuanyuan Yuzhen didn't expect Qingyan to say this. He knew that Qilian Yuran could forgive Emperor Hongjia partly because of Qingyan, but to be honest, she didn't know what the reason was, and Qi Lianyu Ran also seldom mentioned Qilian Qingyan in front of him, as if she had walked away from the nightmare five years ago.
It was only because of this reason that Emperor Hongjia could be forgiven, and all of this was Qingyan's credit.
Wei Sheng Minning looked at Qing Yan and looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen with a smile, "Uncle, what does Miss Su mean by this? Why does she call my aunt her mother's concubine?"
Wei Sheng Minning knew that Qilian Yuran was deeply loved by Emperor Hongjia, so he could think that the concubine Qingyan mentioned must be Qilian Yuran.
Qingyan looked at Wei Sheng Minning and said with a smile, "I guess Minning doesn't know that I am the adopted daughter of the Imperial Concubine, so I also call the Imperial Concubine my mother's concubine in name."
Weisheng Minning listened to Qingyan and smiled and nodded, "I see." He nodded clearly.
"I will remember to tell my mother about that matter." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qingyan and said with a smile, "I heard that the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion seems to have taken action recently, Yan'er, do you know?"
Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and shook her head, "I don't know. I only know that Ning Siyao went to Ye Jiqing to cooperate, but was rejected later."
Murong Jingxuan looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said with a stern face, "What other ideas has that old immortal come up with?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen smiled and said, "What other good ideas can there be? The triennial draft will begin next spring, so Marquis Jingguo will naturally set his goal on this."
When Qingyan heard the news, she smiled and curved her lips, "It seems that Marquis Jingguo wants to send his eldest daughter to the palace, but my father is also very old. It seems that you princes want to It’s a disaster.”
"It's not certain." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at them and shook his head helplessly, "The beautiful girls selected before who did not get favor and status will be kicked out of the palace after reaching a certain age. In this way My entire youth has been spent in the palace, and my father has no interest in such things."
After thinking about it, Qingyan felt that what Xuanyuan Yuzhen said was very reasonable, but those ministers did not think so. They felt that as long as they sent women to the palace, their fame, wealth and career would be guaranteed. Even if they don't get the emperor's favor, even if they end up being kicked out of the palace, it's still a good thing for them.
"Do you think Su Yan will let his daughter participate in the draft?" Murong Jingxuan looked at them and said seriously, "But according to Su Yan's attitude, it is impossible not to send his daughter to the palace. .”
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at them and nodded seriously, "Su Ming is no exception."
Su Yun, Su Yan and Su Ming are brothers. However, Su Yan and Su Ming gave up the idea of shrouding their bodies in horse leather and instead wanted to prosper in the court. However, in the end, they never thought that they would fall. to this point.
But now that there is such a road in front of them, they naturally will not give up.
Su Ming now only has one concubine left - Su Qingting, but Su Yan also has Su Qingwen, his legitimate daughter.
"Yan'er, what do you think?" Murong Jingxuan said and turned his eyes to Qingyan.
"Of course I'm thinking about what to do now?" Qingyan said as she curved her lips, "The draft will start next spring, so we'll see how the third prince performs during this period."
"I heard that the third child and the fifth child often hang out together now." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked seriously as she remembered the news delivered by the secret guard a few days ago, "Then now, except for the second child, there is no one who is the prince at all. opponent."
Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and nodded seriously, "Having said that, fourth brother, you have to know that Xuanyuan Yufan is also a person who is unwilling to be subordinate to others. You will definitely try every means to win over the courtiers. "
"You mean this is Concubine Yi's idea?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen said with a smile as she looked at the jade ring, "But if that's really the case, maybe everything will be easier to handle."
Qingyan looked at them and nodded seriously. Then she looked at Murong Jingxuan and said helplessly, "Your Highness, I'm hungry. I wonder if I can talk about these things after lunch."
Murong Jingxuan listened to Qingyan's words and said with a doting look, "Of course."
Then the child brought up the exquisite menu, and Qingyan ordered a few of her favorite dishes without thinking. Although she was not picky about food, she still had an appetite after looking at those exquisite dishes.
When Wei Sheng Minning listened to those dishes, he couldn't help but look at Qingyan. He clearly remembered that these dishes were all the dishes that her mother loved during her lifetime.
When he thought of this, he raised the corners of his lips bitterly. If his mother was still alive, she would probably order something he likes to eat.
Qingyan finally ordered a few pastries, and these pastries were Wei Sheng Min Ning's favorite things to eat on weekdays.
Seeing the surprised look on Wei Sheng Minning's face, Xuanyuan Yuzhen smiled and said, "Min Ning, why do you look so surprised? Maybe the pastries from Julongzhai don't suit your taste."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen naturally didn't know what Weisheng Minning was thinking, but these pastries were indeed Qingyan's favorite pastries on weekdays.
Weisheng Minning looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Su's hobbies are the same as mine. I also like these pastries."
Qingyan still kept a smile on her face as she listened to his words, "That's my honor."
Qingyan naturally knew that these were the things that Wei Sheng Minning liked to eat, but now she lacked nothing but this and could only watch helplessly as he sank into the darkness step by step, unable to extricate himself.
Wei Sheng Minning still felt that Qingyan had a familiar feeling inexplicably, as if Qilian Qingyan was still by his side, but he knew that the girl in front of him was not her mother-in-law.
"Min Ning, the food in Julongzhai is not something you can eat casually." Xuanyuan Yuzhen said with a smile as he looked at Min Ning's appearance.
Wei Sheng Minning looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and nodded seriously, "I understand." He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Everyone at the dinner table maintained the attitude of "eat without saying anything" and ate their lunch seriously at the table, but Wei Sheng Minning kept his eyes on Qingyan from time to time.
Looking at Qingyan's eating movements, Weisheng Minning couldn't help but frown. Su Qingyan with such words was really too similar to his mother-in-law. He tried not to let these thoughts appear in his mind. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
After his mother died, he really hadn't felt such an atmosphere for a long time.
