Mrs. Wei had known about this matter before, and she agreed with a smile. She glanced to the side, and Nanny Hua quickly handed over a generous purse.
The young eunuch took it with a smile on his face, and followed Nanny Hua to the front to drink.
Ever since the Wei family regained their status, it has become a lucrative job for the Wei family to announce imperial decrees. Everyone knows that the rewards given by the Wei family are extremely generous.
Old Madam Wei ignored him. She glanced at the rewards and told Aunt Hua to pack them up. She sighed softly, "Your Highness is right. In the current situation, the best thing to do is to leave."
Emperor Longqing was unable to balance the relationship between the two palaces. The two palaces had old grudges, and then there was the competition for favor and conflict of interests. Sooner or later, chaos would arise.
These two are the treasures of Emperor Longqing. If either of them gets into trouble, Emperor Longqing will not be happy. Who knows how much trouble it will cause.
It’s better to avoid it.
Wei An remained silent.
In fact, the Ming family and the Feng family had bet on the wrong person in the first place.
Emperor Longqing was indeed a good man, but a good man may not necessarily be a good emperor.
Power always tends to distort a person's original character.
Emperor Longqing was a good man praised by everyone at the time. Didn't the Ming and Feng families support him to ascend the throne against all odds because they thought he was a kind person
However, no matter how kind a person is, once he reaches this position, he will become unrecognizable.
Especially for someone who is originally weak.
Wei An had seen a lot of people like this in his previous life. They were inherently inferior and always felt inferior to others in every way. Once they succeeded, they always had a guilty conscience and a sense of uneasiness.
Just like Emperor Longqing, when he was a prince, he could still donate porridge and rice everywhere, be friendly to his brothers and sisters, and not be arrogant to his in-laws. But when he was supported to the throne without the previous emperor leaving a will to designate an heir, he began to change.
All of his brothers were strong. Some were not good at leading troops in battles, some had made achievements in other areas, and some were extremely favored by the previous emperor. He thought that all of them were better than himself.
And there are so many things that can be possessed in that position.
Of course he was reluctant to leave, and his brothers were restless, so he looked at everyone as if they had bad intentions.
In the end, he fell into the King of Chu's trap of sowing discord and cut off his own arm.
The ministers below are not without complaints.
It's just that the cabinet left by the late emperor had outstanding talents like Xia Song, who were good at making plans, and the late emperor worked hard to govern the country, so the country prospered and all the states were submissive to him. That's why there has never been any major chaos.
As long as there is no chaos and Emperor Longqing has not made any major mistakes, it will be difficult for anything to go wrong.
The King of Chu also saw through this, which is why he always did things like the Ming family, hoping to make Emperor Longqing lose the support of the people.
Although Emperor Longqing was suspicious, he did not have any bad habits.
Even when it came to women, he didn't have an excessive fondness for them, and his favorite was always the empress.
Over the years, the censors have scolded him all the time, but they can only scold him for one thing, which is that he does not have many offspring.
Wei An was a little annoyed.
The identities of the Wei family and Prince Zheng destined them to be guilty of original sin in front of Emperor Longqing.
They clearly had no intention at the beginning.
Although the Ming family and Zheng are both victims, because of their status as victims, there are always people who want to use them as scapegoats.
Emperor Longqing suspected that they might harbor resentment.
And those who have ulterior motives have been trying to prove that they have resentment.
We just hope that Emperor Longqing will go crazy and kill them all, so that there will be a bloody beginning.
This was the original King of Chu.
The people behind Mr. Xie II may not be holding the same idea now.
Being at the center of the storm, always being plotted against and always having to live in fear, Wei An felt that he had had enough of that.
She raised her head and glanced at Old Madam Wei, and then spoke coldly, "It may not be possible to avoid it."
If hiding was really useful, the Wei family would not have ended up like this.
These people are always like this, they think they are superior and don't treat others as human beings.
Their own emotions are the real emotions; others should not live like human beings and are not worthy of having emotions.
Old Mrs. Wei lowered her head and sighed almost silently.
After comforting Mrs. Xie San, he said to Wei An, "Forget it."
The situation is stronger than us. What else can we do except compromise
Wei An nodded without saying anything. The second and third wives came in together and said to Old Madam Wei with a smile that Miss Ding and the wife of Earl Qinghe had come together.
It was the wife of Earl Qinghe who brought Miss Ding to pay New Year's greetings. Earl Qinghe had already watched the servants set off firecrackers, and was then welcomed by the Fifth Master to have a drink.
Old Madam Wei smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Please come in."
She didn't like the wife of the Earl of Qinghe, but Miss Ding was a really nice person. After meeting her a few times, she knew that she was a kind-hearted person.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe still had a stern face and was hardly smiling. She greeted Old Madam Wei somewhat stiffly, said a few auspicious words dryly, and then sat aside without moving.
Old Mrs. Wei didn't care either.
Lady Qinghe was not enjoying her own good life but was determined to compete with her husband.
It's not uncommon for a stepmother to dislike a concubine's son, but it's rare for one to do so to the extent of the Lady of the Earl of Qinghe. When she brought the Third Young Master Lin out when he was a child, no one could tell that she was not nice to him - she dressed him up neatly, with the best clothes and accessories, and even a dazzling gold necklace around his neck.
But gradually, she found out what kind of life Young Master Lin was leading behind the scenes.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe had her own way of torturing people. She was a loving mother in front of outsiders, but when she returned home, she didn't treat her illegitimate son as a human being. She set rules for the mother of the Third Young Master Lin. She lied to her in the cold and snowy weather and said that the Third Young Master Lin fell into the lake because he was playing around, so the concubine jumped into the pond to rescue him... ...
This is how Concubine Lin Shufei and Young Master Lin got here.
So she didn't find it strange at all when the Third Young Master Lin killed the Lin family's elder brother who had committed a crime.
Things will eventually backfire. Lady Qinghe has really gone too far.
By now, the illegitimate son had grown up, and the illegitimate daughter had become a phoenix. She had tried every possible means, but to no avail, so she began to torture herself.
He has become the mean person he is today.
What's the point
Old Mrs. Wei turned around and spoke to Miss Ding.
Miss Ding replied seriously, and then went to look at Wei An with a smile, a little shy and a little embarrassed: "Originally my mother didn't let me go out, but I wanted to come over and see you first..."
He glanced at the girl behind him, then took a box and handed it to Wei An: "This is... for you... I don't know if it's suitable..."
