Xiao Han, the first wife of Prince Yi Guo's prince Yun Qike, committed suicide a few years ago and took two of them with him before leaving. No, it should be said that he is the long-awaited direct descendant of Duke Yi's family. Grandson.
After that, Yun Qike didn't get married for several years.
The Yun family once wanted to tell him about Ouyang Fulu's cousin Ouyang Fulu, but due to Yun Fenghuang's objection, the Ouyang family thought that it was not worth marrying because of the imperial concubine's hostility, so they ended up letting it go. Later, Ouyang Fulu married Wang Linglai, the number one scholar who had been engaged to Princess Minghui, and the rumors were very good.
As for Yun Qike, after being a widower for several years, he married Wei Xiyi, one of Wei's legitimate daughters, four years ago.
This Wei family was not from a noble family, but he was from a prominent family in the county.
Marrying Yun Qike as a stepmother is a bit high.
It may be for this reason that after Webster entered the house, he was said to be very virtuous and virtuous. He respected his aunt and cared for his uncle. He and his husband also treated each other well and served her attentively.
The most rare thing is the tolerance and generosity that can be called a model of a noble lady. She had only been married for half a year and had nothing to do, so she showed her face to the dowry maid and gave it to Yun Qike to be a child.
Since then, there has been no news about the concubine from which this maid was born, but she herself gave birth to a legitimate daughter.
Although she was not a legitimate son, she had such a virtuous temperament and was still young. Compared with Yun Qike's many years of emptiness, it was enough for Yunzhao and his wife to be overjoyed and dote on her.
Just last year, Wei Xiyi finally gave birth to a male heir. Although it was rumored that he was not in good health and might not die young, at least the child was still alive. Everyone in Duke Yi's palace was relieved.
Now that the eldest daughter-in-law has taken control of the whole family, Mrs. Yi Guogong willingly retreats to the back court.
My daughter-in-law here gives the orders on everything.
Only during holidays would Mrs. Yi Guogong come out to say hello.
Of course, the Dahan family also had to personally handle matters like entering the palace.
After all, although the King of Qin had no bloodline with the Yun family, he was remembered in the name of Concubine Zhenxi Shu, and he was regarded as the grandson of the Han family's Zhengerbajing.
Dahan was cruel and mean to outsiders, but he was always full of guilt towards his own people, especially his eldest daughter.
Even though the adopted grandson of King Qin had never even seen Concubine Zhenxi, and had a deep relationship with his adoptive mother Yun Fenghuang, the Dahan family still visited him in the palace regularly to commemorate their biological daughter.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was not very familiar with Wei Xiyi, mainly because she had nothing to say to Duke Yi.
Wei Xiyi was obedient again. Every time he came to the palace, he would obediently serve his mother-in-law, never saying another word or doing one more thing.
Yun Fenghuang looked at her twice and felt that she didn't look like a stupid trouble maker, so he ignored her.
This time, the imperial concubine sent a message asking her to enter the palace alone, but did not find the Dahan family. Everyone in Duke Yi's palace was a little worried.
But no matter how suspicious he was, with Yun Fenghuang's waiter waiting for him, Wei Xiyi did not dare to delay. He hurriedly cleaned up and hurried into the palace with the visitor.
"It's nothing important." Yun Fenghuang was waiting for her in the Huanhua Palace. After a few pleasantries, he muttered, "I just have free time today and wanted to see you in the palace to talk, so I didn't bother you. Are you serious?"
Of course Wei Xiyi didn't believe what he said, and he didn't dare to say that he was shocked. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "What did your Majesty say? My wife, Jian Tian, was at home and had nothing to do. Being able to come and stay with your Majesty for a while would be a great pleasure." It is the blessing of my wife."
"Speaking of it, you and I can be considered sisters-in-law, but I don't think so. I have never really cared about my sister-in-law's family before." The concubine's words made Wei Xiyi's heart tremble. He was afraid of hearing something that would make him extremely unhappy and he had to nod his head. things.
I heard Yun Fenghuang continue, "At the palace cultural conference last time, someone gave me some advice, saying that among the three most talented women in the Imperial Capital, there is a sister-in-law's natal family?"
"Your Majesty, you are so beautiful." Wei Xiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Although my wife and Wei Xiyan are indeed sisters of the same race, they do not have the same great-grandfather, but they rarely interact with each other. My wife has grown so big, so When I was worshiping my ancestors, I saw this cousin once outside the ancestral hall. She was still very young at the time, and she was led by her wet nurse to salute many sisters-in-law. My wife gave her a purse, and I never had any contact with her again."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be like this." Yun Fenghuang saw her hurriedly clearing up, and said with a dumb smile, "It's just a casual family thing... Besides, I just took a look at Zezhi upstairs from a distance, but that girl is... She has a good appearance, and her behavior is also quite orderly. I was just going to say that Webster taught her daughter well."
These words sounded like he had a good impression of Wei Xiyan. Wei Xiyi finally relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to express his friendship with Wei Xiyan. He only smiled and said: "I thought your Majesty wanted to know something about my cousin." The thing is, I am not familiar with her, but I am afraid that I will not be able to answer what I say."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and shook his head, but he quickly analyzed in his mind that Wei Xiyi was recognized as an all-rounder from the moment he entered the house.
So before she revealed her dissatisfaction with Wei Xiyan, it should be said that since she mentioned Wei Xiyan, Wei Xiyi should follow the topic and say a few good words about this cousin, even if he didn't immediately express his sympathy for his cousin as a biological sister
At this moment, he seems afraid of being involved... Is it already known that Xuanqing Gong and Wei Xiyan failed to propose marriage
Is Webster's tone so relaxed
The imperial concubine felt a little unhappy. In fact, she didn't expect to get many answers from Wei Xiyi as to why Wei Shi refused to marry the seventh prince.
After all, how many family secrets can a young married woman know
Referring to the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, she was still the Empress of a Kingdom. Wasn't she excluded from the core of the Ji family
But looking at Wei Xiyi's appearance, it was obvious that he had heard some rumors
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Fenghuang didn't point it out, and only talked about business: "At that Japanese literary conference, not only Miss Wei Xiyan, but also a young man, I was also very impressed, and I heard that Zhao Qing even praised her specially. Ichiban?"
"Is the empress talking about Yun Tao's nephew?" Hearing the concubine mention Yun Tao, Wei Xiyi became more and more cautious and said cautiously, "This nephew came back to the imperial capital a few days ago. At that time, his father and brother took him to the Duke's Mansion to give birth to his father. I wish you well, my wife. I have seen him twice, and he is indeed a very energetic child. His temperament is just a little out of control, but I hope he doesn’t offend the mother and the princess."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is just too cautious. I and Zhaoqing are not made of tofu. How can they be so easily collided? As you said, this child is very energetic and full of vigor."
Next, I asked about Yun Tao's situation in detail, including but not limited to Yun Tao's likes and dislikes, growth experience, schoolwork, parents, brothers and sisters...
The whole point is to examine the appearance of the future son-in-law.
This made Wei Xiyi quite nervous. On the one hand, she had been repeatedly reminded of the concubine's deep thoughts and hostility towards the Yun family since she first entered the palace to greet the concubine. On the other hand, she was quite wary of Yun Fenghuang; A step-brother who is not noble enough and not a good match for the Yun family, even if she has a pair of children as bargaining chips, her status in her husband's family is not yet stable.
So if Yun Tao loses the opportunity to be the master or Princess Zhaoqing because of her mishandling at this moment, I know that the pressure from her husband's family will definitely not be small.
The most important thing is that Wei Xiyi really doesn't know much about Yun Tao.
This is her brother-in-law, not his biological brother-in-law. Her husband Yun Qike is several years older than Yun Tao. They say they are brothers, but in fact they are almost a generation apart.
However, Wei Xiyi, who was the successor, had only been married into the Yun family for a few years, and was only a few years older than Yun Tao. At such a young age, he still needed to avoid suspicion.
Where would she pay attention to Yun Tao
Reluctantly, Yun Fenghuang looked like he was confiding in her and kept saying: "This is a big matter. Even if you are an emperor's daughter, getting married is a big event. I have to choose a good one for my child. In terms of Zhaoqing's appearance and status, There are so many people who covet her. As for what my sister-in-law says, I can believe it to a certain extent. After all, my sister-in-law and I are very close sisters-in-law. Who knows if outsiders are trying to fool me?"
Wei Xiyi really wanted to say, the sons and daughters-in-law of the Yunju couple are your serious brothers and sisters-in-law. Why don't you ask them
But with the concubine's smiling face, she really didn't dare, so she could only tell her what she knew as if she were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. In the end, she really couldn't think of any news, and she didn't dare to make it up for fear of being held responsible: the princess who cheated on her marriage could be Not a trivial matter.
Even for a family like the Yun family, it would be a calamity for the entire clan!
Especially the princess's adoptive mother is not a good person.
In the end, Wei Xiyi could only leave his seat, stood up, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is what I know. For the rest, I ask your Majesty to allow me to inquire after I go back, and then come back to report."
She really doesn’t know anymore! ! !
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to blame him. He still smiled, gave her a hand, asked her to get up and return to her seat, and said softly, "I'm just asking for some information from my sister-in-law. Just my sister-in-law." What I said just now has already helped me a lot, so now, how can I ask my sister-in-law to do any more hard work?"
Having said that, she added, "It's just that if I entrust it to someone else, but there is no suitable one, it seems that I can only work with my sister-in-law."
No matter how reluctant Wei Xiyi was, she could only forcefully smile and express that the task of finding out Yun Tao's true nature was left to her!
On this day, she almost resigned in sweat.
After she left, people came up to wait on her. They couldn't help but be curious: "Why do you want to find this Wei family to ask Mr. Yun Tao? Doesn't Mrs. Yi Guo know more?"
"Mrs. Yi Guogong does know more. Even if she goes back to inquire about Yun Tao's situation, with her qualifications, she doesn't need to alarm anyone." Yun Fenghuang picked up the tea, blew it on, and said calmly, "But just because The wife of this generation is young. She only married into the Yun family in the past two years. She has insufficient status and prestige, and her skills are still being sharpened... When she goes to inquire about the affairs of the clan, she must leave traces, so that the news can be spread naturally. Go out and let the outside world know that I have taken a liking to Yun Tao for Zhao Qing!"
She didn’t really want to promise Zhaoqing to Yun Tao!
It was just a pretense to coax those high-ranking nobles who admired Zhaoqing into fighting, just to fish in troubled waters!
