The Third Lady didn't know about Madam Kong. Madam Kong said that her grandson was ill, so she gave Madam Kong half a day off. When Madam Kong came back, she told her, "If you have any difficulties, just come and tell me."
Although the Third Lady was indeed a somewhat selfish person in the past, she was always very kind to her own people. As her confidante, Madam Kong had received countless benefits from her.
She cried tears of gratitude.
The Third Lady smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? What's the matter? You are my wet nurse. Mother gave you to me and told me to take care of you until the end of your life."
These words made Grandma Kong feel even more ashamed, and she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Fortunately, the maid outside came in and said that the wife of the Marquis of Ping'an had arrived. The Third Lady stopped talking and smiled at Madam Kong and said gently, "Madam, go and pack your things quickly. You don't have to accompany me. Madam Ping'an is here to see the old lady. I will take her there."
Nanny Kong still had tears in her eyes, but she dared not say anything, fearing that she would not be able to hold it in if she said a few more words, so she responded hastily.
The Third Lady led Ginkgo out of the door and greeted the Marquis of Ping'an at the second gate with a smile: "The Marquis is finally here. We old ladies have been waiting anxiously..."
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An came with her daughter-in-law. Seeing that the Third Madam did not show any worry about being surrounded by the Royal Guards, she also smiled and said, "I have kept the old lady waiting for a long time. I originally said I would come yesterday, but something happened at home, so I was delayed until the afternoon. It would be impolite to come in the afternoon, and I was afraid of offending the old lady, so I came today."
The Wei family has weathered so many storms and still stood firm. Just as Marquis Ping'an said before I came here, as long as they have not fallen despite such a thing, they will not be afraid of any storms.
The Wei family is an evergreen family. The current emperor may not be able to hold on at any time. As long as they can survive him, the ministers will not support Prince Linjiang. Do they really want to support the Sixth Prince, who may die at any time, to ascend the throne
The country relies on Changjun. Now the Tartars in the northwest are making great trouble. Who dares to let a child shoulder such an important task? No one can bear this responsibility and dare not leave a legacy of reviling.
As for the relationship between the Wei family and the palace, there is no need to mention it. With Prince Zheng and Shen Chen as the link, the Wei family will definitely be one of the most popular people around the new emperor in the future.
The wife of Marquis Ping'an had already thought it through clearly when she introduced Fourth Miss Xu to Wei Yangqing. This boat had already been boarded whether she wanted to or not, and now that it was on board, she had to row it well and not let it sink midway.
After all, we are all in the same boat. If it sinks, we will all be finished.
The Third Lady laughed, "You are such a fool. With the relationship between our two families and the affection between you and the old lady, why should you care about these things? In the morning and afternoon, other people may have such concerns, but you really don't have to. How could the old lady care about these things with you?"
Saying this, the relationship was invisibly brought closer.
The wife of Marquis Ping'an was very happy and chatted happily with the Third Lady all the way to the old lady's yard. Only then did she meet Old Madam Wei accompanied by the Third Lady.
The Third Madam knew that the old lady had something important to tell Mrs. Ping'an, so she only sat for a moment before standing up and said, "My uncle will probably be here today, and my wife has prepared a banquet. Mrs. Ping'an, since you are here, please eat before you leave. Please do me a favor."
When Mrs. Ping'an Hou heard this, her eyebrows jumped - Wei Yangqing is back
King Zheng was missing, but he came back first. Did he bring back any news
She was a little surprised, but she smiled happily: "Okay, that would be the best. Oh, what a coincidence, otherwise I should have brought Xu Si along."
Old Madam Wei glanced at the Third Madam, nodded to her, and then shook her head at the Marquis of Ping An's wife and said, "Don't worry, there is still a long time to go. If they are destined to meet, they will meet naturally."
Mrs. Wei met Miss Xu once later. She was indeed a cautious person. People with such experiences are the ones who want to live a good life the most. Mrs. Wei has seen countless people and knew at a glance that she was a smart person.
It's the kind of real intelligence, not the kind of cleverness that is self-righteous.
Truly smart people are always good at weighing gains and losses. They know what to do and what not to do, and they also know the price to pay and what to gain from doing everything.
In fact, it is best to get along with such people.
Moreover, Fourth Miss Xu is really good-looking and has the potential to tie down Wei Yangqing.
The only thing that Old Mrs. Wei has been worried about all these years is her son. Although he is already in his mid-life and old enough to get married, his personality is not reassuring. Without a reliable wife to look after him, there is no telling what he will do.
Old Madam Wei was not afraid that anything would happen to him, as the mother-son relationship had already been worn out by the Ming family incident. However, she was afraid that he would bring trouble to the Wei family, and by extension, Wei An and Ming Jing.
I can't help but worry more about him.
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An also smiled obediently: "You are right. If we are destined to meet, we will meet even if we are thousands of miles apart. If we are not destined to meet, we will not even know each other. It doesn't matter if we meet face to face for a moment."
The Third Madam bowed to Old Madam Wei and Lady Ping An and said goodbye: "Today's dinner is held at Zhaixing Tower. It's autumn now, and it's not that hot anymore. There's a breeze there, so it's a perfect place."
Mrs. Wei smiled and responded, "You have considered it very carefully. Thank you for your hard work."
The third lady hurriedly shook her head and said she dared not, then she retreated with a smile.
Old Madam Wei looked at the wife of Marquis Ping'an, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She was silent for a moment before asking her, "What's going on in the palace?"
The wife of Marquis Ping'an knew that the purpose of Old Lady Wei calling her here must be related to this matter. After all, Marquis Ping'an is the commander of the Jinwu Guard, in charge of the imperial guards. He is now a close minister of the emperor, so he knows more than ordinary people.
After a pause, she looked at Old Madam Wei and said, "A few days ago, Princess Yonghe asked His Majesty for help, saying that she was not in good health and was afraid that she would never be able to return to Beijing after getting married, so she wanted to stay with His Majesty for a while longer and asked His Majesty to postpone the wedding."
Emperor Longqing had originally been nice to Princess Yonghe out of consideration for Empress Fang. Although Princess Yonghe later had a scandal with Marquis Guanzhong, and Emperor Longqing was very disappointed in her, he was ultimately a soft-hearted man, and he would easily be swayed by whatever others said.
After Princess Yonghe softened her stance and begged so earnestly, he agreed.
Who knew that it would be so accurate and would lead to such a big incident later.
Princess Yonghe has never been a person who can’t keep her temper, but I didn’t expect her to be so patient this time. (To be continued)
