Seeing her smile, the old Princess of Zhennan felt relieved and smiled too. She reached out to touch her head, held her in her arms, and explained the reason to her: "I know you have a lot of grievances in your heart, but An An, no matter how aggrieved you are, you can't let these grievances lead you astray..."
There were many things she couldn't do anything about, so she had to be extra nice to Wei An, wanting to let Wei An know that there were not only cold relatives in this world, but also a grandmother who loved her dearly. When she saw Wei An looking up, his eyes were wet like a deer, as if he was about to cry, and she sighed and said, "Your grandmother doesn't like you, it's not because of you, don't feel bad about yourself because of this... You have to respect yourself, then others will respect you."
As long as one's mind is firm, the rumors outside will not hurt anyone. The old Princess Zhennan hopes Wei An understands this truth.
Wei An nodded, his eyes were clear and clean, he looked at the old Princess Zhennan, pursed his lips and asked her: "Grandmother... Why doesn't grandma like mother?"
Wei An actually knew all these old stories, but no one told her in her early years. She always thought that it was because of her stupidity and badness that made countless old ladies hate her so much. But when she went to Yuzhang and heard more things, and when she married Peng Caichen and heard more palace secrets, she realized that it was not the case.
Her mother, who had always been so noble and aloof, had once used all means to steal other people's things.
Wei An thought about it many times. If she were Old Lady Wei, to be fair, what would she say about forgiving her daughter-in-law? What would she say about treating her daughter-in-law's children well? It would be merciful to be able to resist strangling them to death with her own hands.
But she didn't know much before, and she wanted to know more.
In the dim light, she actually had a not-so-good but very strong premonition - the reason why Mrs. Wei always tolerated her even though she hated her, and the reason why Princess Changning doubted her background, were all because of this face.
The old Princess Zhennan paused in her embrace, slowly pushed her away, nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, shook her head: "Your mother made a mistake..." She refused to say what the mistake was: "You just need to know that it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong at all."
When she thought of this, heavy guilt, anger, and many other emotions surged up in her heart. She could hardly hold on any longer, so she asked Nanny Chen to take Wei An to rest. She leaned back on the big pillow, her eyes fixed.
She did not give birth to a good daughter. Changning was spoiled by the old prince since she was a child. There was nothing in the world that she could not get. Emperor Longqing was also happy to indulge her. Even Princess Chang'an suffered at her hands.
Therefore, they are raised to be lawless and shameless.
The old princess was stunned when the word "shameless" popped up in her mind. One day she would actually use such an unbearable word to describe her own daughter, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with this word.
It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, but the worst thing is not admitting it and still holding on to it.
As Wei An grew up, she understood more and more why Princess Changning treated Wei An coldly.
Knowing this makes me even more disappointed.
Isn’t it because Wei An was born at the same time as Ming Yuyou’s daughter, and Ming Yuyou’s daughter died
She felt upset and took it out on Wei An.
It was as if if Wei An had not been born, Ming Yuyou and Ming Yuyou’s daughter would not have died.
There was no way Changning could resolve the knot in her heart. Over the years, her inner demons had grown deeper and deeper. She had scolded and beaten him, and even went to Yuzhang in person, but to no avail. All she got in return was Changning's indifference day after day.
This time it was even worse. Everyone had gifts for the festival in Beijing, and they were all good, except for Wei An, whose clothes didn't even fit. What kind of mother is Chang Ning?! How can she be a mother?!
She raised her eyelids and saw Nanny Chen came in quietly, lifted the blanket for her, and asked her, "Are you asleep?"
Nanny Chen nodded and opened all the windows on all sides for ventilation. The fragrance of the gardenia flowers outside blew in with the wind, refreshing the eyes and ears.
The old princess didn't even blink: "Go write a letter to Changning and tell her that she doesn't need to interfere in An'an's affairs in the future. I will take care of it. Tell her to bring back An'an's birth date wrapped in red paper."
Nanny Chen's heart skipped a beat and she hesitated: "But..."
The old princess shook her head: "There is no but. It will be too late if we delay any further. We can't delay any longer..." She looked at Nanny Chen with a sharp gaze: "The people above are getting more and more confused. An An's face..."
Nanny Chen suddenly felt her heart pounding and she subconsciously looked around.
Emperor Longqing was already nearly 70 years old, but he had no son. He had a son before, and he was the biological son of Empress Ming. However, with the successive downfall of the Ming and Sheng families, the prince died in unclear circumstances.
After the death of the crown prince, the princes of Emperor Longqing's reign seemed to be cursed. There were only three princes in total, two of whom died, and the third one was only twelve years old, but he was also sickly and sickly.
Emperor Longqing, who had fought so hard for his country, was unwilling to accept the fact that he had no son. What could he do? Of course, he had to expand his harem to have sons. He had more beauties, more Taoist priests, and more elixirs.
After taking too many pills, he became weird and his behavior has become more and more absurd in recent years.
Just two years ago, a local official wrote a memorial to him in which he was severely criticized.
They said that he was unfilial to his superiors, unfaithful to his wife, indifferent to state affairs and unkind to the people, and that he occupied the throne but did not do what an emperor should do. Everyone in the world would spit on him.
Emperor Longqing was so angry that he wanted to kill the man on the spot.
But that man was not afraid of death at all and had already prepared a coffin. Emperor Longqing was not stupid after all. He knew that killing him would spread the contents of the abusive memorial more and more widely, so he just endured it.
However, he has been acting even more unscrupulously since then. Recently, when there were discussions in the court about thoroughly investigating the Ming family, news immediately spread that remnants of the Ming family had appeared in Yunnan.
If someone mentions Wei An's face again...
Emperor Longqing was capable of doing anything absurd... What kind of virtue could be expected from a prince who was once an unpopular prince and ascended to the throne with the help of Yue family, a man who could put away his bows and birds after becoming rich and powerful
If he had good morals, the Ming and Sheng families...
I forgot to set the time again. Fortunately, I found it early~~~
