[Red House] Lixian
Chapter 53
Of the three halls of the Ming Dynasty, Zichen is the most expensive.
"The Zichen Palace is the emperor's bedroom, and it is also where the cabinet summons many confidant ministers. When will I be able to enter the Zichen Palace?"
Situ Yun was full of wild thoughts, walked through the white jade pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes, and stepped into the Zichen Hall.
There is a stove in the hall, and wool blankets from the Western Regions are spread on the floor.While walking, Situ Yun thought: "What's wrong with not being able to have sex? Anyway, Wei Qian looks good, even if you invite a Bodhisattva to worship at home, at least it's pleasing to the eye, isn't it? on the tree?"
What Wei Qian said, Situ Yun didn't believe it at first, but he found a few stable women to test, and the final result had to confirm that Wei Qian was indeed physically disabled.
There is a difference between men and women, Situ Yun couldn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard from his confidants and maidservants that he did see that there was only a small slit in Wei Qian's lower body, and he couldn't have sex.
However, Situ Yun did not directly regret the marriage, and returned to Chang'an to meet the emperor after comforting him.
"Besides, Wei Qian has such a defect, so there's no need to worry about it." With the handle in hand, there's no need to worry about her retaliation in the future.
Walking into the hall, seeing the sage reading the memorial, he knelt down to pay his respects.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for a while, the sage smiled and ordered him to get up and give him a seat, and then asked about Situ Yun's daily routine.
The two chatted for a while, the saint's question seemed casual, but Situ Yun was terrified.
How is your relationship with General Li? How many times have you gone out for dinner? What do you think of the character of those generals and officials?
After all, the Tian family is ruthless!Situ Yun carefully considered how to deal with the emperor's problems, so as not to think that he was forming a party for personal gain.
It wasn't until the sage nodded in satisfaction that he heaved a sigh of relief, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
Afterwards, the sage said: "You have made great contributions this time, and tomorrow morning, the emperor will crown you a prince. In this way, except for your ninth brother, the other brothers will all be princes!" Allowing the fourth brother to succeed to the throne can also protect the future prospects of these brothers.
The saint laughed heartily: "Besides that, what else do you want?"
"I met a woman when I went south this time." Situ Yun looked at the saint's face, unable to see the truth, and gritted his teeth: "It's the daughter of the Jinlingwei General's Mansion—"
Suddenly, the eunuchs and guards on duty outside heard a crackling sound coming from inside, and then the saint thundered furiously and drove Situ Yun back to think about his past.
After scolding Situ Yun, the saint was still angry, and said to Liu Sheng, the eunuch next to him: "Look, this kid is really lawless! This time he went south to marry without permission, but he never put me in his eyes! I let him go south Accumulating meritorious service, for the sake of his future family business, is it for him to go and have a romantic relationship?"
Liu Sheng weighed the money sent by Concubine Chen, and said with a flattering smile: "The matter is serious. Didn't His Royal Highness tell you? At that time, Miss Wei's family was trapped by rumors, and she was a benefactor from the past, so she came to ask for marriage in desperation." .And didn't Miss Wei also say that she was unwilling to climb high, so she asked His Highness to come back first? Whether this will happen or not is entirely up to His Majesty. If His Majesty refuses, just find an excuse to wipe it off. But if this is the case, then Wei In the future, Miss Jia will no longer propose a marriage."
The saint was silent, touching a piece of golden lock presented by the Seventh Prince.There are four words "Fu Shou Kang Ning" on the golden lock, which is what I gave to Jia Daishan at the beginning.
This was given to Jia Daishan by him back then, and later Jia Daishan handed it to Wei Qian, and it became Wei Qian's carry-on item.Wei Qian knew that this marriage was not easy to do, so she gave the golden lock to Situ Yun as a token, in order to borrow her grandfather's favor.
"That's right, if we don't let Miss Wei Jia marry Yun'er, I'm afraid there are really only two ways to hang herself or become a monk in the future." Thinking about Jia Daishan's love in the past, the saint hesitated endlessly.
"However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is willing to take such a risk for this woman, especially at this critical moment when he is about to become a prince, he is indeed a benevolent person." Liu Sheng mentioned without any trace, and the saint frowned and pondered.
After Situ Yun went back, he talked about it with his staff.
The staff member waved a feather fan and was dressed as a Confucian scholar. It is said that he was the queen of Zhuge Wuhou.After hearing Situ Yun's words, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is a good move. In this way, you will stand out from the princes. Although you lose your Sacred Heart temporarily, you will leave a good reputation in the hearts of the Saints. And to the princes As far as we are concerned, it is also a hint that His Highness has no intention of reunification."
If you really care about the position of emperor, how dare you do such a thing that the saint hates?
"That's right, the emperor is still there, so there's no need to argue with the brothers now."
To become a prince and to have wings of his own, those elder brothers should also care about his younger brother's attitude.It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to think behind closed doors and avoid some people's open and hidden arrows.By the way, if someone wants to marry his daughter into the palace, he also needs to consider the possible resentment of the saint.
The seventh prince made a great contribution, but was immediately reprimanded by the sage to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, which immediately caused disturbances in the court, the public and the harem.
Quite a few people who wanted to get married to the palace were discouraged, the rest of the people had an ambiguous attitude, and there were not many people who really kept their stance.
As soon as Concubine Chen in the harem heard the news, she immediately sent someone to the palace to inquire.
Situ Yun calmly studied at home, and when he heard someone from his concubine mother come to inquire, he said to the visitor: "Go back and tell concubine mother, I will let concubine enter the palace tomorrow to pay my respects, and I will explain clearly to her then."
Situ Yun's concubine is the daughter of a fourth-rank official, and she is worse than Wei Qian in terms of status.At this time, I felt uneasy, and entered the study after Chen Fei's people left.
Situ Yun was wearing a mink fur and read the history books of the former Tang Dynasty with great interest.
"Your Highness, I made you a bowl of ginseng tea. You just came back, don't be too tired." Holding the ginseng tea with his own hands, Situ Yun took it immediately: "Why, are you also worried about the rumors outside?"
The concubine's face froze, and she quickly waved her hands: "I only know my identity. If His Highness likes the younger sister of the Wei family, he will definitely take care of her as his own younger sister in the future."
In contrast, the two behaved differently and decided to judge.
Situ Yun sighed in his heart. He was weak back then, and his mother and concubine couldn't talk in the harem, so this finger marriage was just a random fourth-rank official.In terms of family background, she is no more than middle-class in Chang'an, and a daughter from such a family is only fair in terms of vision and heart, and managing the palace.
"Did you suffer a lot from the sisters-in-law of the emperor?"
"A few sisters-in-law are okay with concubines." The princess lowered her eyebrows, and Situ Yun waved her hand and said, "Okay, I don't know your temperament yet? It's all about reporting good news and not worrying. Among the few princesses, you are the one with the worst status." , my sisters-in-law didn’t even give me face back then, let alone you? You must have suffered a lot. But don’t worry, what will this king do to you if you are a wife of a scum? In the future, you don’t have to So careful."
Open the tea lid, the amber liquid is dotted with red dots.Push away the wolfberries, sip the ginseng tea: "Tomorrow you enter the palace to greet the concubine mother, and tell her by the way. The daughter of the Wei family saved my life a few years ago, and now she died because of an adulterer. It is righteous to welcome into the palace with the concubine's gift! You don't have to worry about seducing the lord, I have met Miss Wei three times in total, we haven't spoken a few times, and there are outsiders guarding us."
Situ Yun's expression was dull: "As for the gossip of outsiders, don't pay attention to it. I will go to the Zichen Palace to plead guilty to my father when my father's anger subsides."
When the princess heard this, she felt relieved: "The concubine will report back to the concubine mother in this way tomorrow."
On the second day, the princess entered the palace to pay her respects, and explained Situ Yun's intentions.When Concubine Chen heard this, she said helplessly: "Yun'er has been like this since she was a child, and the decision is that it is difficult for this concubine, my mother, to come back. Forget it, if that's the case, I will help him." So, she went to Zichen Palace to help plead.
The previous dynasty affected the harem, and the harem also affected the previous dynasty, and the news spread out not long after.
Wu Mansion, the home of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty.After coming down to court, Wu Zhengde went home to find his son: "I remember that your eldest girl is not too young now, right? Later, I will ask my daughter-in-law to go to the palace and settle the marriage with the Seventh Prince."
"Seven princes?"
"Yes, it's him."
Looking at his old father, he hurriedly said, "Didn't it mean that the Seventh Prince is now rejected by His Majesty?"
"That's right, this morning, His Majesty the Seventh Prince was supposed to be discussing the issue of becoming king, but His Majesty skipped over it. However, the Seventh Prince came out in person and was willing to use his military merits to pay for this side concubine." Wu Zhengde narrowed his eyes: "Seventh Prince The prince's move is wonderful! The rejection at this time is a good thing for the future." After all, it is a veteran who has experienced two dynasties, Wu Zhengde immediately made a plan, and said: "You just do it, your father is on the emperor's side. Let me solve it, and it happens to be able to sell a favor to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
Wu Zhengde has gone through two dynasties, how can he not understand the mind of this boss in these years of ups and downs?
Although she is angry now, she may not be without some appreciation for the Seventh Prince's move.As long as it is operated properly, the Seventh Prince can be regarded as a potential stock.
After the father and son got together, Wu Zhengde entered the palace again to ask the saint to give him a marriage.
When the sage heard that Wu Zhengde was going to marry his granddaughter to Situ Yun, he wondered: "Nowadays everyone knows that Lao Qi was reprimanded and locked up by me, why do you want to marry your own granddaughter?"
"Old ministers don't care about their husband's family status, they only care about their character." Wu Zhengde praised himself and said respectfully: "The seventh prince is both wise and brave, and his filial piety can be shown. Now he is willing to make such sacrifices to save his life. I will also take good care of my granddaughter."
"Hmph! It's nothing more than a lecherous person. Nanxia will fascinate him once, so what's the responsibility?" The saint said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"The old minister also went to ask someone. There are so many people in the entourage of His Highness Nanxia. It is said that His Highness only met Miss Wei's family three times. The only time he had a lot of contact was when he was saving lives. But Miss Wei was only in her early ten years old. How can I confuse others? Could it be some enchantress reincarnated?"
The saint nodded secretly, and he also ordered someone to report the actions of Situ Yun and his party.He has some understanding of what Wei Qian did in Jinling.If you really want to say where Situ Yun got his favor, it's probably the lawsuit with Xue's family back then.
"The daughter of the Wei family behaves properly, and Yun'er is justified in her eyes. As for her identity, the Yuan daughter of a third-rank official and the granddaughter of Duke Rong is also appropriate." Thinking of the poor family background of Princess Situ Yun in the past, the saint has a heart. Choose two concubines with good backgrounds for him.
He didn't directly reject Wu Zhengde's words, but secretly asked people to calculate his birth date and investigate his fate.
Now that Zhang Qingyuan is working in the Taoist Department, he and Qin Tianjian worked together to calculate the fate of the three people.
Qin Tianjian was originally the place where the astronomy and calendar were calculated in the past dynasties, and there are many astrological experts in it.
Situ Yun had a noble life, and the two of them didn't say much in their eyes.Although it is not a perfect match with Miss Wu's fate, it is also considered good.But the two of them frowned as they calculated Wei Qian's fate.
Zhang Qingyuan knew that Wei Qian was practicing immortality, so he didn't pay much attention.But Qin Tianjian's complexion was wrong: "It's strange, according to my Ziwei's calculation, how can I not calculate the fate of this girl from the Wei family?"
Wei Qian's cultivation method is based on the Big Dipper and Nine Stars, and she pays homage to Nine Heavens Dougao, this lady is the mother of stars.One of her sons is Ziwei the Lord of the Stars, the founder of Ziwei Doushu.
In terms of origin, Wei Qian's fate disappeared after cultivating Taoism, how can ordinary people calculate it with Ziwei's numbers?
Not long after, the inspector Qintian was sweating profusely, and the sage asked: "Why, is there a problem with this girl's fate?" Thinking of Wei Qianke's death of two fiancés, even the sage couldn't help but murmured that she might not know her fate Is there a problem?
"This..." Qin Tian inspector hesitated: "I use astrology to calculate, this woman should have died young, but the fate star looms noble, presumably the origin is extraordinary."
"Ahem..." Zhang Qingyuan hurriedly took over the words: "Your Majesty, all people with noble fate must have a calamity. This is the calamity of jealousy. This girl will have a calamity when she is born, and she will enjoy glory and wealth in her lifetime. If you can't survive, you will die, and your life will be empty."
Officer Qin Tian couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this: "There is such a saying in astrology."
Zhang Qingyuan continued: "This girl was born in a family of officials, but her fate is very noble, which is very acceptable. According to Pindao's understanding, her two fiancés, one is from Baiding, and the other is from the post-inspector. They have low status and shallow fate. , couldn't bear the extravagance of this girl, so they all lost their blessings. If you want to get married, the threshold for this girl must be raised."
"Your daughter?" The saint was a little sensitive: "Why is it so expensive? You can't marry unless you are a prince? Or..." Directly facing the emperor?
"That's not necessary, the country's important ministers are worthy enough. And if you are a scholar, you must use the appearance of Wenqu and Wenchang, and choose one of the first three. If you are talking about a military officer, you must be the reincarnation of Wuqu, a person who dominates the party. But your highness Living in the Dragon Qi, being a prince is worthy enough."
After hearing this, the sage said again: "So, this girl's fate is more honorable than Wu Ge's granddaughter?"
Qin Tianjian official said: "Exactly."
The sage pondered for a long time: "Don't spread the words of today, let's go!"
In the early morning of the next day, the sage decreed that Situ Yun be conferred the title of Prince Rui, and marry the old granddaughter of Wu Ge and the granddaughter of the late Duke Rong.However, Wei Qian still has a funeral going on, so she was kind enough to let her get married after she was filial piety.
As soon as Jinkou opened, Wei Qian secretly felt that there was a cause and effect in his body that involved Chang'an.
"From now on, this life will be difficult." Xuanyun said softly to herself, and Xuanyun, who was helping her feel her pulse, said, "Aren't you worried that this marriage won't work out? You foolishly use medicine to lock the yin, if the Seventh Prince goes back on his word, what do you think?" manage!"
"Senior Sister, don't worry, Junior Sister looks at people with a level. Your Highness is not stupid, and her marriage with me is still worth using. Whether it is for him or me, regretting the marriage is just a lose-lose move."
Wei Qian didn't think Situ Yun was an idiot. "Besides, before he left, I gave him the golden lock that my grandfather gave me. It is said that it was given by the current Holy Majesty. As long as the Holy Majesty cares about the friendship, the marriage is not difficult."
Xuanyun shook her head and put her hands down: "Okay, you are fine. But the medicine you took is really too heavy." Xuanyun disapproved and gave Xuanyun a look: "Junior Sister Xuanyun is too, unexpectedly Qian'er's kind of cruel medicine. If it weren't for her immortal body, there are no taboos, what should I do if the medicine hurts me?"
Wei Qian wanted to hide from a group of stable women's inspections, and did not collude in advance.Instead, they really used drugs to deceive, and even prepared themselves for Situ Yun to watch in person.
Fortunately, things went smoothly in the future, and Wei Qian didn't need to compromise her family's reputation.
Thousands of miles of marriage is linked by a thread, Jing Huan Fairy stands on the cloud and looks at the entangled red thread between Chang'an and Jinling.
"This marriage has really come true, but—" Looking carefully, the two red lines have no knots, one goddess has no heart, and the other has no dreams. This marriage is completely in a formality.
Wei Qian took the opportunity to find a clean place to concentrate on enlightenment, while Situ Yun managed his own power, fighting for the position of the dragon, and didn't care about Wei Qian at all.
The angry Jing Huan fairy stomped her feet: "I want Wei Qian to enter my lovesickness door and understand my love bliss. If this continues, the two will get married and respect each other like a guest for the rest of their lives. In the end, Wei Qian can still leave in a hurry , calmly fly fairy."
Fairy Jing Huan was originally born in the love of men and women, and she has a paranoid temper.Being aroused by Wei Qian, he was just like targeting He Xiangu back then, vowing to throw her into a world of love, just like what happened to Bai Mudan back then.
"No, they must be tempted!" Xiangu looked around the world, ready to deceive people further.
Accompanied by the sage Chrysostom, a bunch of rewards fell into the three mansions of Wu, Jia and Wei.The former dynasty was shaken again, and besides many people praising Wu Ge for his foresight, more people went to curry favor with the current Prince Rui.
The fourth prince squinted his eyes, and after returning to the mansion, he found his concubine Zhou.
"I remember that you have a cousin who was going to marry Lao Qi not long ago?"
"There was such a thing, but later Lao Qi was rejected by his father, and the marriage fell through."
"Let her marry now, at least not let the seventh child join the camp of the third child."
"Now?" Wang Hao was startled: "Now Lao Qi's side concubine has been decided, how to arrange it?"
"The side concubine is gone, isn't there still a concubine's room? It's really not possible, a lowly concubine can go in through the back door." The fourth prince is sullen. Although there are rumors in the palace that the father is going to pass the throne to him, he is skeptical. How do you believe it?It's better to prepare early, and it's best to grasp others.
"A lowly concubine?" Zhou's face was pale. She was from everyone. Although her cousin is not from the direct line, let her marry as a lowly concubine?Will the Zhou family still be human in the future?The second uncle can't explain it either!
"Then, Wangfei and Empress, how do you choose?" The Fourth Prince said quietly, "Let other people take over, how will we guarantee our interests then?"
Not only the fourth prince, but several other princes are also thinking about wooing Situ Yun from various aspects.Some people gave gold, some gave beauties, Situ Yun accepted them all, and told the saint directly when he turned around.
The sage laughed, comforting him and accepting everything, but what he thinks of these people in his heart is unknown to others.
It's just that in the days that followed, when facing the other princes, she became more enthusiastic towards Situ Yun, as if she deliberately put him on the fire to roast him.
In Jia's mansion, when the news came, Mrs. Wang spat out some sour words.Not long ago, about Wei Qian and Situ Yun's incident, she hadn't stopped gossiping in front of Wang Xifeng.
At the beginning, Wang Xifeng and Jia She took over her rights for the housekeeper, and offended her aunt severely. The relationship between the two has not been good these years, and it is only peaceful on the surface.
When the reward from Daming Palace came down, Wang Xifeng and Daiyu were beaming. The two of them had a good relationship with Wei Qian. They wished them sincerely and discussed whether to return the gift. They happened to hear Mrs. Wang gossiping behind her back. .
"It's said that the parents ordered the matchmaker's words. Look, it is the daughter taught by Jia Mei, with a coquettish face, who actually persuaded the prince and parents to protest. It is also a saint who can't bear the suffering of his own son, otherwise he would not agree to this. A marriage?"
"I see, Wei Qian won't stay in the palace for long in the future. Is the inside of the palace the same as the outside? I don't know how he will die then."
Having said this, Daiyu immediately frowned, with an unhappy expression on her face.She didn't get along well with Mrs. Wang, among other things, based on Jia Min's relationship with Mrs. Wang back then, it was all thanks to Jia Mu's support that she was able to maintain a kind face towards her.
"Yo! Look at what Auntie said, why is Auntie dissatisfied with this marriage of Wei's cousin? Could it be that she is going to jump out to protest?" Wang Xifeng spoke quickly and scolded directly.
Mrs. Wang was talking to the people around her, when she suddenly saw Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu standing among the flowers, she was startled.Before he could speak, Wang Xifeng made a big deal out of his head.
"If my aunt is dissatisfied, why not go to the Daming Palace to find a saint or Concubine Chen to refuse?"
"I almost forgot that my aunt doesn't even have the status of a royal lady. If you want to take care of Cousin Qian's marriage, why don't you hurry up and ask Mr. Zheng to work hard and give you a destiny so that you can go to the palace in the future!"
"Speaking of which, Cousin Qian still has the status of a township lord, and Aunt Mei still has a second-rank mandate. We will meet when the time comes, but Auntie, you salute Aunt Mei and Cousin."
After stabbing Mrs. Wang severely, Wang Xifeng pulled Lin Daiyu away.
On the way, Lin Daiyu was full of worries. Wang Xifeng thought she was worried about Wei Qian, so she explained, "Don't pay attention to her. It's not like you don't understand my aunt. Back then, she didn't get along well with her two sister-in-laws, and she treated you and Qian'er like a child." What's more, in the final analysis, this matter is jealous of my cousin. The old man's granddaughters all have lovers, but the granddaughter is still suffering in the palace!"
Thinking that there was no news about Yuan Chun in the palace, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sighed: "You just came here not long ago, and I haven't seen your elder sister. When the old man was not healthy, the elder sister and Qian'er were here to serve. The two stood Together, with that demeanor and aura, your eldest sister is indeed not inferior to Qianer. As for the three girls Yingchun—" Wang Xifeng shook her head: "After all, the house is not as good as it was when the old man was alive."
Wang Xifeng married into the Rongguo Mansion for the sake of Jia Lian's son-in-law, but only after she got married did she really realize what it means to taste the bitter fruit by herself.
Here, the status of the granddaughter-in-law is really not high.Jia's mother also claimed to be a kind person, and the senior servants in the mansion were not to be touched. Wang Xifeng was not unreasonable at first.
Even now, it is just the housekeeper of the general, and there is the big Buddha of Jia Mu on it to make offerings from time to time.
"Forget it, let's think about how to give Qian'er a gift."
Not to mention the back house, it is in the front.Jia Amnesty also took the opportunity to use the banner to support the Seventh Prince. With Wei Qian's relationship, the two parties will go further.
The officials who were supported by Jia Daishan back then and the people in control were secretly win over by the Seventh Prince. After the Fifth Prince lost power, he secretly rose up and quietly attacked the military power.
And when the news reached Jinling, Jia Mei burst out laughing on the spot, and added three bowls of rice that night, feeling happy.Not long ago, the city was full of wind and rain, and the boss had to be taken to the temple to become a monk.But after this time, I finally don't have to worry about the eldest brother's marriage anymore, even this marriage is much better than the first two.
Looking at all the officials and eunuchs in the city, there is no one whose marriage is comparable to this one.
After knowing this, Mrs. Huang's face was also radiant, her spirits improved a lot, and she was busy preparing Wei Qian's dowry.
But in the eyes of a discerning person, this is undoubtedly a flashback, and his life is not long.
A few days later, Mrs. Huang let go and left. Huang Yuan hurried back to arrange the funeral with Wei Qian.
But among all the people in Jinling, the Xue family was the one who was most afraid of Wei Qian.
Xue Pan had secretly contributed to the rumors that spread all over the city at the beginning, and he was obviously one of the beneficiaries of this matter, so he couldn't get rid of his involvement.Fearing that Wei Qian would take advantage of the situation to pursue him, and Xue Pan's reputation in Jinling would be completely ruined, the family discussed it and set off for Chang'an to join Mrs. Wang.
"The Zichen Palace is the emperor's bedroom, and it is also where the cabinet summons many confidant ministers. When will I be able to enter the Zichen Palace?"
Situ Yun was full of wild thoughts, walked through the white jade pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes, and stepped into the Zichen Hall.
There is a stove in the hall, and wool blankets from the Western Regions are spread on the floor.While walking, Situ Yun thought: "What's wrong with not being able to have sex? Anyway, Wei Qian looks good, even if you invite a Bodhisattva to worship at home, at least it's pleasing to the eye, isn't it? on the tree?"
What Wei Qian said, Situ Yun didn't believe it at first, but he found a few stable women to test, and the final result had to confirm that Wei Qian was indeed physically disabled.
There is a difference between men and women, Situ Yun couldn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard from his confidants and maidservants that he did see that there was only a small slit in Wei Qian's lower body, and he couldn't have sex.
However, Situ Yun did not directly regret the marriage, and returned to Chang'an to meet the emperor after comforting him.
"Besides, Wei Qian has such a defect, so there's no need to worry about it." With the handle in hand, there's no need to worry about her retaliation in the future.
Walking into the hall, seeing the sage reading the memorial, he knelt down to pay his respects.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for a while, the sage smiled and ordered him to get up and give him a seat, and then asked about Situ Yun's daily routine.
The two chatted for a while, the saint's question seemed casual, but Situ Yun was terrified.
How is your relationship with General Li? How many times have you gone out for dinner? What do you think of the character of those generals and officials?
After all, the Tian family is ruthless!Situ Yun carefully considered how to deal with the emperor's problems, so as not to think that he was forming a party for personal gain.
It wasn't until the sage nodded in satisfaction that he heaved a sigh of relief, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
Afterwards, the sage said: "You have made great contributions this time, and tomorrow morning, the emperor will crown you a prince. In this way, except for your ninth brother, the other brothers will all be princes!" Allowing the fourth brother to succeed to the throne can also protect the future prospects of these brothers.
The saint laughed heartily: "Besides that, what else do you want?"
"I met a woman when I went south this time." Situ Yun looked at the saint's face, unable to see the truth, and gritted his teeth: "It's the daughter of the Jinlingwei General's Mansion—"
Suddenly, the eunuchs and guards on duty outside heard a crackling sound coming from inside, and then the saint thundered furiously and drove Situ Yun back to think about his past.
After scolding Situ Yun, the saint was still angry, and said to Liu Sheng, the eunuch next to him: "Look, this kid is really lawless! This time he went south to marry without permission, but he never put me in his eyes! I let him go south Accumulating meritorious service, for the sake of his future family business, is it for him to go and have a romantic relationship?"
Liu Sheng weighed the money sent by Concubine Chen, and said with a flattering smile: "The matter is serious. Didn't His Royal Highness tell you? At that time, Miss Wei's family was trapped by rumors, and she was a benefactor from the past, so she came to ask for marriage in desperation." .And didn't Miss Wei also say that she was unwilling to climb high, so she asked His Highness to come back first? Whether this will happen or not is entirely up to His Majesty. If His Majesty refuses, just find an excuse to wipe it off. But if this is the case, then Wei In the future, Miss Jia will no longer propose a marriage."
The saint was silent, touching a piece of golden lock presented by the Seventh Prince.There are four words "Fu Shou Kang Ning" on the golden lock, which is what I gave to Jia Daishan at the beginning.
This was given to Jia Daishan by him back then, and later Jia Daishan handed it to Wei Qian, and it became Wei Qian's carry-on item.Wei Qian knew that this marriage was not easy to do, so she gave the golden lock to Situ Yun as a token, in order to borrow her grandfather's favor.
"That's right, if we don't let Miss Wei Jia marry Yun'er, I'm afraid there are really only two ways to hang herself or become a monk in the future." Thinking about Jia Daishan's love in the past, the saint hesitated endlessly.
"However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is willing to take such a risk for this woman, especially at this critical moment when he is about to become a prince, he is indeed a benevolent person." Liu Sheng mentioned without any trace, and the saint frowned and pondered.
After Situ Yun went back, he talked about it with his staff.
The staff member waved a feather fan and was dressed as a Confucian scholar. It is said that he was the queen of Zhuge Wuhou.After hearing Situ Yun's words, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is a good move. In this way, you will stand out from the princes. Although you lose your Sacred Heart temporarily, you will leave a good reputation in the hearts of the Saints. And to the princes As far as we are concerned, it is also a hint that His Highness has no intention of reunification."
If you really care about the position of emperor, how dare you do such a thing that the saint hates?
"That's right, the emperor is still there, so there's no need to argue with the brothers now."
To become a prince and to have wings of his own, those elder brothers should also care about his younger brother's attitude.It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to think behind closed doors and avoid some people's open and hidden arrows.By the way, if someone wants to marry his daughter into the palace, he also needs to consider the possible resentment of the saint.
The seventh prince made a great contribution, but was immediately reprimanded by the sage to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, which immediately caused disturbances in the court, the public and the harem.
Quite a few people who wanted to get married to the palace were discouraged, the rest of the people had an ambiguous attitude, and there were not many people who really kept their stance.
As soon as Concubine Chen in the harem heard the news, she immediately sent someone to the palace to inquire.
Situ Yun calmly studied at home, and when he heard someone from his concubine mother come to inquire, he said to the visitor: "Go back and tell concubine mother, I will let concubine enter the palace tomorrow to pay my respects, and I will explain clearly to her then."
Situ Yun's concubine is the daughter of a fourth-rank official, and she is worse than Wei Qian in terms of status.At this time, I felt uneasy, and entered the study after Chen Fei's people left.
Situ Yun was wearing a mink fur and read the history books of the former Tang Dynasty with great interest.
"Your Highness, I made you a bowl of ginseng tea. You just came back, don't be too tired." Holding the ginseng tea with his own hands, Situ Yun took it immediately: "Why, are you also worried about the rumors outside?"
The concubine's face froze, and she quickly waved her hands: "I only know my identity. If His Highness likes the younger sister of the Wei family, he will definitely take care of her as his own younger sister in the future."
In contrast, the two behaved differently and decided to judge.
Situ Yun sighed in his heart. He was weak back then, and his mother and concubine couldn't talk in the harem, so this finger marriage was just a random fourth-rank official.In terms of family background, she is no more than middle-class in Chang'an, and a daughter from such a family is only fair in terms of vision and heart, and managing the palace.
"Did you suffer a lot from the sisters-in-law of the emperor?"
"A few sisters-in-law are okay with concubines." The princess lowered her eyebrows, and Situ Yun waved her hand and said, "Okay, I don't know your temperament yet? It's all about reporting good news and not worrying. Among the few princesses, you are the one with the worst status." , my sisters-in-law didn’t even give me face back then, let alone you? You must have suffered a lot. But don’t worry, what will this king do to you if you are a wife of a scum? In the future, you don’t have to So careful."
Open the tea lid, the amber liquid is dotted with red dots.Push away the wolfberries, sip the ginseng tea: "Tomorrow you enter the palace to greet the concubine mother, and tell her by the way. The daughter of the Wei family saved my life a few years ago, and now she died because of an adulterer. It is righteous to welcome into the palace with the concubine's gift! You don't have to worry about seducing the lord, I have met Miss Wei three times in total, we haven't spoken a few times, and there are outsiders guarding us."
Situ Yun's expression was dull: "As for the gossip of outsiders, don't pay attention to it. I will go to the Zichen Palace to plead guilty to my father when my father's anger subsides."
When the princess heard this, she felt relieved: "The concubine will report back to the concubine mother in this way tomorrow."
On the second day, the princess entered the palace to pay her respects, and explained Situ Yun's intentions.When Concubine Chen heard this, she said helplessly: "Yun'er has been like this since she was a child, and the decision is that it is difficult for this concubine, my mother, to come back. Forget it, if that's the case, I will help him." So, she went to Zichen Palace to help plead.
The previous dynasty affected the harem, and the harem also affected the previous dynasty, and the news spread out not long after.
Wu Mansion, the home of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty.After coming down to court, Wu Zhengde went home to find his son: "I remember that your eldest girl is not too young now, right? Later, I will ask my daughter-in-law to go to the palace and settle the marriage with the Seventh Prince."
"Seven princes?"
"Yes, it's him."
Looking at his old father, he hurriedly said, "Didn't it mean that the Seventh Prince is now rejected by His Majesty?"
"That's right, this morning, His Majesty the Seventh Prince was supposed to be discussing the issue of becoming king, but His Majesty skipped over it. However, the Seventh Prince came out in person and was willing to use his military merits to pay for this side concubine." Wu Zhengde narrowed his eyes: "Seventh Prince The prince's move is wonderful! The rejection at this time is a good thing for the future." After all, it is a veteran who has experienced two dynasties, Wu Zhengde immediately made a plan, and said: "You just do it, your father is on the emperor's side. Let me solve it, and it happens to be able to sell a favor to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
Wu Zhengde has gone through two dynasties, how can he not understand the mind of this boss in these years of ups and downs?
Although she is angry now, she may not be without some appreciation for the Seventh Prince's move.As long as it is operated properly, the Seventh Prince can be regarded as a potential stock.
After the father and son got together, Wu Zhengde entered the palace again to ask the saint to give him a marriage.
When the sage heard that Wu Zhengde was going to marry his granddaughter to Situ Yun, he wondered: "Nowadays everyone knows that Lao Qi was reprimanded and locked up by me, why do you want to marry your own granddaughter?"
"Old ministers don't care about their husband's family status, they only care about their character." Wu Zhengde praised himself and said respectfully: "The seventh prince is both wise and brave, and his filial piety can be shown. Now he is willing to make such sacrifices to save his life. I will also take good care of my granddaughter."
"Hmph! It's nothing more than a lecherous person. Nanxia will fascinate him once, so what's the responsibility?" The saint said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"The old minister also went to ask someone. There are so many people in the entourage of His Highness Nanxia. It is said that His Highness only met Miss Wei's family three times. The only time he had a lot of contact was when he was saving lives. But Miss Wei was only in her early ten years old. How can I confuse others? Could it be some enchantress reincarnated?"
The saint nodded secretly, and he also ordered someone to report the actions of Situ Yun and his party.He has some understanding of what Wei Qian did in Jinling.If you really want to say where Situ Yun got his favor, it's probably the lawsuit with Xue's family back then.
"The daughter of the Wei family behaves properly, and Yun'er is justified in her eyes. As for her identity, the Yuan daughter of a third-rank official and the granddaughter of Duke Rong is also appropriate." Thinking of the poor family background of Princess Situ Yun in the past, the saint has a heart. Choose two concubines with good backgrounds for him.
He didn't directly reject Wu Zhengde's words, but secretly asked people to calculate his birth date and investigate his fate.
Now that Zhang Qingyuan is working in the Taoist Department, he and Qin Tianjian worked together to calculate the fate of the three people.
Qin Tianjian was originally the place where the astronomy and calendar were calculated in the past dynasties, and there are many astrological experts in it.
Situ Yun had a noble life, and the two of them didn't say much in their eyes.Although it is not a perfect match with Miss Wu's fate, it is also considered good.But the two of them frowned as they calculated Wei Qian's fate.
Zhang Qingyuan knew that Wei Qian was practicing immortality, so he didn't pay much attention.But Qin Tianjian's complexion was wrong: "It's strange, according to my Ziwei's calculation, how can I not calculate the fate of this girl from the Wei family?"
Wei Qian's cultivation method is based on the Big Dipper and Nine Stars, and she pays homage to Nine Heavens Dougao, this lady is the mother of stars.One of her sons is Ziwei the Lord of the Stars, the founder of Ziwei Doushu.
In terms of origin, Wei Qian's fate disappeared after cultivating Taoism, how can ordinary people calculate it with Ziwei's numbers?
Not long after, the inspector Qintian was sweating profusely, and the sage asked: "Why, is there a problem with this girl's fate?" Thinking of Wei Qianke's death of two fiancés, even the sage couldn't help but murmured that she might not know her fate Is there a problem?
"This..." Qin Tian inspector hesitated: "I use astrology to calculate, this woman should have died young, but the fate star looms noble, presumably the origin is extraordinary."
"Ahem..." Zhang Qingyuan hurriedly took over the words: "Your Majesty, all people with noble fate must have a calamity. This is the calamity of jealousy. This girl will have a calamity when she is born, and she will enjoy glory and wealth in her lifetime. If you can't survive, you will die, and your life will be empty."
Officer Qin Tian couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this: "There is such a saying in astrology."
Zhang Qingyuan continued: "This girl was born in a family of officials, but her fate is very noble, which is very acceptable. According to Pindao's understanding, her two fiancés, one is from Baiding, and the other is from the post-inspector. They have low status and shallow fate. , couldn't bear the extravagance of this girl, so they all lost their blessings. If you want to get married, the threshold for this girl must be raised."
"Your daughter?" The saint was a little sensitive: "Why is it so expensive? You can't marry unless you are a prince? Or..." Directly facing the emperor?
"That's not necessary, the country's important ministers are worthy enough. And if you are a scholar, you must use the appearance of Wenqu and Wenchang, and choose one of the first three. If you are talking about a military officer, you must be the reincarnation of Wuqu, a person who dominates the party. But your highness Living in the Dragon Qi, being a prince is worthy enough."
After hearing this, the sage said again: "So, this girl's fate is more honorable than Wu Ge's granddaughter?"
Qin Tianjian official said: "Exactly."
The sage pondered for a long time: "Don't spread the words of today, let's go!"
In the early morning of the next day, the sage decreed that Situ Yun be conferred the title of Prince Rui, and marry the old granddaughter of Wu Ge and the granddaughter of the late Duke Rong.However, Wei Qian still has a funeral going on, so she was kind enough to let her get married after she was filial piety.
As soon as Jinkou opened, Wei Qian secretly felt that there was a cause and effect in his body that involved Chang'an.
"From now on, this life will be difficult." Xuanyun said softly to herself, and Xuanyun, who was helping her feel her pulse, said, "Aren't you worried that this marriage won't work out? You foolishly use medicine to lock the yin, if the Seventh Prince goes back on his word, what do you think?" manage!"
"Senior Sister, don't worry, Junior Sister looks at people with a level. Your Highness is not stupid, and her marriage with me is still worth using. Whether it is for him or me, regretting the marriage is just a lose-lose move."
Wei Qian didn't think Situ Yun was an idiot. "Besides, before he left, I gave him the golden lock that my grandfather gave me. It is said that it was given by the current Holy Majesty. As long as the Holy Majesty cares about the friendship, the marriage is not difficult."
Xuanyun shook her head and put her hands down: "Okay, you are fine. But the medicine you took is really too heavy." Xuanyun disapproved and gave Xuanyun a look: "Junior Sister Xuanyun is too, unexpectedly Qian'er's kind of cruel medicine. If it weren't for her immortal body, there are no taboos, what should I do if the medicine hurts me?"
Wei Qian wanted to hide from a group of stable women's inspections, and did not collude in advance.Instead, they really used drugs to deceive, and even prepared themselves for Situ Yun to watch in person.
Fortunately, things went smoothly in the future, and Wei Qian didn't need to compromise her family's reputation.
Thousands of miles of marriage is linked by a thread, Jing Huan Fairy stands on the cloud and looks at the entangled red thread between Chang'an and Jinling.
"This marriage has really come true, but—" Looking carefully, the two red lines have no knots, one goddess has no heart, and the other has no dreams. This marriage is completely in a formality.
Wei Qian took the opportunity to find a clean place to concentrate on enlightenment, while Situ Yun managed his own power, fighting for the position of the dragon, and didn't care about Wei Qian at all.
The angry Jing Huan fairy stomped her feet: "I want Wei Qian to enter my lovesickness door and understand my love bliss. If this continues, the two will get married and respect each other like a guest for the rest of their lives. In the end, Wei Qian can still leave in a hurry , calmly fly fairy."
Fairy Jing Huan was originally born in the love of men and women, and she has a paranoid temper.Being aroused by Wei Qian, he was just like targeting He Xiangu back then, vowing to throw her into a world of love, just like what happened to Bai Mudan back then.
"No, they must be tempted!" Xiangu looked around the world, ready to deceive people further.
Accompanied by the sage Chrysostom, a bunch of rewards fell into the three mansions of Wu, Jia and Wei.The former dynasty was shaken again, and besides many people praising Wu Ge for his foresight, more people went to curry favor with the current Prince Rui.
The fourth prince squinted his eyes, and after returning to the mansion, he found his concubine Zhou.
"I remember that you have a cousin who was going to marry Lao Qi not long ago?"
"There was such a thing, but later Lao Qi was rejected by his father, and the marriage fell through."
"Let her marry now, at least not let the seventh child join the camp of the third child."
"Now?" Wang Hao was startled: "Now Lao Qi's side concubine has been decided, how to arrange it?"
"The side concubine is gone, isn't there still a concubine's room? It's really not possible, a lowly concubine can go in through the back door." The fourth prince is sullen. Although there are rumors in the palace that the father is going to pass the throne to him, he is skeptical. How do you believe it?It's better to prepare early, and it's best to grasp others.
"A lowly concubine?" Zhou's face was pale. She was from everyone. Although her cousin is not from the direct line, let her marry as a lowly concubine?Will the Zhou family still be human in the future?The second uncle can't explain it either!
"Then, Wangfei and Empress, how do you choose?" The Fourth Prince said quietly, "Let other people take over, how will we guarantee our interests then?"
Not only the fourth prince, but several other princes are also thinking about wooing Situ Yun from various aspects.Some people gave gold, some gave beauties, Situ Yun accepted them all, and told the saint directly when he turned around.
The sage laughed, comforting him and accepting everything, but what he thinks of these people in his heart is unknown to others.
It's just that in the days that followed, when facing the other princes, she became more enthusiastic towards Situ Yun, as if she deliberately put him on the fire to roast him.
In Jia's mansion, when the news came, Mrs. Wang spat out some sour words.Not long ago, about Wei Qian and Situ Yun's incident, she hadn't stopped gossiping in front of Wang Xifeng.
At the beginning, Wang Xifeng and Jia She took over her rights for the housekeeper, and offended her aunt severely. The relationship between the two has not been good these years, and it is only peaceful on the surface.
When the reward from Daming Palace came down, Wang Xifeng and Daiyu were beaming. The two of them had a good relationship with Wei Qian. They wished them sincerely and discussed whether to return the gift. They happened to hear Mrs. Wang gossiping behind her back. .
"It's said that the parents ordered the matchmaker's words. Look, it is the daughter taught by Jia Mei, with a coquettish face, who actually persuaded the prince and parents to protest. It is also a saint who can't bear the suffering of his own son, otherwise he would not agree to this. A marriage?"
"I see, Wei Qian won't stay in the palace for long in the future. Is the inside of the palace the same as the outside? I don't know how he will die then."
Having said this, Daiyu immediately frowned, with an unhappy expression on her face.She didn't get along well with Mrs. Wang, among other things, based on Jia Min's relationship with Mrs. Wang back then, it was all thanks to Jia Mu's support that she was able to maintain a kind face towards her.
"Yo! Look at what Auntie said, why is Auntie dissatisfied with this marriage of Wei's cousin? Could it be that she is going to jump out to protest?" Wang Xifeng spoke quickly and scolded directly.
Mrs. Wang was talking to the people around her, when she suddenly saw Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu standing among the flowers, she was startled.Before he could speak, Wang Xifeng made a big deal out of his head.
"If my aunt is dissatisfied, why not go to the Daming Palace to find a saint or Concubine Chen to refuse?"
"I almost forgot that my aunt doesn't even have the status of a royal lady. If you want to take care of Cousin Qian's marriage, why don't you hurry up and ask Mr. Zheng to work hard and give you a destiny so that you can go to the palace in the future!"
"Speaking of which, Cousin Qian still has the status of a township lord, and Aunt Mei still has a second-rank mandate. We will meet when the time comes, but Auntie, you salute Aunt Mei and Cousin."
After stabbing Mrs. Wang severely, Wang Xifeng pulled Lin Daiyu away.
On the way, Lin Daiyu was full of worries. Wang Xifeng thought she was worried about Wei Qian, so she explained, "Don't pay attention to her. It's not like you don't understand my aunt. Back then, she didn't get along well with her two sister-in-laws, and she treated you and Qian'er like a child." What's more, in the final analysis, this matter is jealous of my cousin. The old man's granddaughters all have lovers, but the granddaughter is still suffering in the palace!"
Thinking that there was no news about Yuan Chun in the palace, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sighed: "You just came here not long ago, and I haven't seen your elder sister. When the old man was not healthy, the elder sister and Qian'er were here to serve. The two stood Together, with that demeanor and aura, your eldest sister is indeed not inferior to Qianer. As for the three girls Yingchun—" Wang Xifeng shook her head: "After all, the house is not as good as it was when the old man was alive."
Wang Xifeng married into the Rongguo Mansion for the sake of Jia Lian's son-in-law, but only after she got married did she really realize what it means to taste the bitter fruit by herself.
Here, the status of the granddaughter-in-law is really not high.Jia's mother also claimed to be a kind person, and the senior servants in the mansion were not to be touched. Wang Xifeng was not unreasonable at first.
Even now, it is just the housekeeper of the general, and there is the big Buddha of Jia Mu on it to make offerings from time to time.
"Forget it, let's think about how to give Qian'er a gift."
Not to mention the back house, it is in the front.Jia Amnesty also took the opportunity to use the banner to support the Seventh Prince. With Wei Qian's relationship, the two parties will go further.
The officials who were supported by Jia Daishan back then and the people in control were secretly win over by the Seventh Prince. After the Fifth Prince lost power, he secretly rose up and quietly attacked the military power.
And when the news reached Jinling, Jia Mei burst out laughing on the spot, and added three bowls of rice that night, feeling happy.Not long ago, the city was full of wind and rain, and the boss had to be taken to the temple to become a monk.But after this time, I finally don't have to worry about the eldest brother's marriage anymore, even this marriage is much better than the first two.
Looking at all the officials and eunuchs in the city, there is no one whose marriage is comparable to this one.
After knowing this, Mrs. Huang's face was also radiant, her spirits improved a lot, and she was busy preparing Wei Qian's dowry.
But in the eyes of a discerning person, this is undoubtedly a flashback, and his life is not long.
A few days later, Mrs. Huang let go and left. Huang Yuan hurried back to arrange the funeral with Wei Qian.
But among all the people in Jinling, the Xue family was the one who was most afraid of Wei Qian.
Xue Pan had secretly contributed to the rumors that spread all over the city at the beginning, and he was obviously one of the beneficiaries of this matter, so he couldn't get rid of his involvement.Fearing that Wei Qian would take advantage of the situation to pursue him, and Xue Pan's reputation in Jinling would be completely ruined, the family discussed it and set off for Chang'an to join Mrs. Wang.
