Chapter 374 Princess Xinling
Song Yixiao at the moment their own matters are tangled, although Pei Yourui this will enter the palace twice a day to the dowager empress dowager’s behavior is somewhat strange, but then thought, “Perhaps this sister in law misses her mother-in-law to treat her well, so she wants to do her filial piety for her mother-in-law?”
And it’s not a concern.
And Pei Yourui side received the news, and indeed only a day after the next day to carry Jane Qingyue back.
“In fact, the dowager empress originally also intends to send Qing Yue back this day, so that you don’t have to worry.” Pei You Rui smiled as she came and said, “I’ve been asked to do a favor, but this child is really cute, no wonder you’re not in a position to enter the palace right now, the dowager empress can’t help but pick her up and take her over to be happy in her lap.”
Saying that, he pointed to the disk phoenix necklace circle in front of Jian Qing Yue’s chest, “It is said that this is what Mother wore when she was a child! This morning, the Empress Dowager purposely made people rummage through the cupboards to find it, and specifically gave it to Qing Yue.”
“The dowager empress dowager so loving, partial I this is not good to go to thank the grace, can only wait out of filial piety and then go to give her old man please.” Song Yi smile to pay attention to an observation, found that the daughter of this trip to the palace back, body accessories are almost all changed all over, it is estimated that in addition to the Dowager Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and other people also have a hand, busy said, “today but have to thank you sister.”
Since she reminded Jian Xubai, Pei You Rui seems to Jane Yiyu, Changxing Princess of these two secret grudges, couples were called to the front of the Grand Princess of Jin reprimanded, although they said that there is no grudge, in the end, a layer of a faint barrier.
So Pei Yourui this back also did not stay, but polite a few words, drink a mouth of tea also left.
After she left, Song Yixiao is holding her daughter in her lap, while teasing her to talk, while asking the subordinate with the daughter into the palace, Jane Qing Yue these two days in the palace may have annoyed the Empress Dowager, Chi-Qiang came in, reported, “Hengshan Wang Fu’s great grandma sent a pastry to, said the great grandma due to heavy pregnancy inconvenience travel, these days have not been able to come to see you, the heart is really missed! Therefore, he wanted to give you an invitation in person, and go back to give an explanation to the Great Young Grandmother as well!”
“Although this grand young lady Kong’s relationship with me has never been bad due to my mother’s sake, she has never had much to do with each other.” Song Yixiao was surprised to hear that, “Especially since she’s not easy to get pregnant this time, from the end of last year when I invited my mother to pay my respects, I heard that the eldest couple of the Hengshan Royal Family are doing their best to wait for the birth of the first heir – this is a non-new year and non-holiday season, so why did you suddenly want to think of sending me pastries? ”
She mused, and said, “Send her over to talk!”
As he said this, he handed Jian Qing Yue over to the nursemaids and signaled them to take their daughter back to the house first.
A few moments later, the people sent by the Kong Clan were brought in, Song Yixiao looked at them and saw that they were familiar with them – it was Lian Yue, who she had dealt with when she was not out of the Cabinet, but this time she had already dressed up as a woman, and she thought that she had been promised to someone else.
After Lian Yue had asked for peace and conveyed Kong’s greetings and concern, she still had no intention of retiring.
Song Yixiao see the situation will look at the left and right, to be idle people are retired, sure enough, Lian Yue revealed a solemn color, said, “my family’s great grandma has a few words, earlier would like to say to the lady, just afraid of the lady misunderstanding, did not dare to open the voice! But yesterday the eldest young granny sent someone to see the Xinling county princess, think really can’t drag on! So, even if it may make you mad …”
“Xinling?!” Song Yixiao was taken aback before she could hear it, “What happened to her?”
Although it is said that because the two sisters are young, whether it is Xinling County Princess Lu Thuoer, or the already gone Anyang County Princess Lu Zuier, and Song Yixiao this half-sister did not get along with, however, exactly the same mother and siblings, Song Yixiao’s concern for these two sisters, will never be less than Lu Guanyun.
Previously, when County Lord Anyang died young, she was so sad that she spent the night in the garden blowing in the night wind before she could hold down her emotions.
Listening to the meaning of Lian Yue’s words, the only remaining sister seemed to have gone wrong, how could she not be anxious?
For a moment, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand!
“Mrs. please don’t be anxious!” Lian Yue saw the situation and busily pacified, “Xin Ling County Lord is only occasionally feeling a small illness, now the fifth young granny in charge of the family has already asked the Imperial Doctor to look at it and prescribe a prescription, and it is expected that eating it for two days will make it better.”
Song Yixiao then breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good – but I don’t know what sister-in-law Kong wanted you to bring me?”
“You know the situation of our royal family, ma’am.” Lian Yue pursed her lips and said, “His Majesty’s mother’s filial piety has not yet been removed, but his wife’s filial piety has been added to it, and the younger sons and young grandmothers underneath them also have to observe their mother’s filial piety. So, nowadays, the one who can preside over the center feed, besides the eldest young granny, is only the fifth young granny!”
Song Yixiao’s mind was quick-witted, and hearing this was already clear, he couldn’t help but change his face slightly.
Sure enough, Lian Yue continued, “The great grandma’s pregnancy, now already sitting seven hope eight, you also know, earlier after the loss of Sun Gongzi, the great grandma depressed for many years, this is not easy to have a pregnancy, really do not dare to be distracted! Moreover, with her limited mobility, she can’t even worry about it. I can’t even worry about it!”
“It is so that the only one taking care of the inner house right now is the Fifth Young Grandmother!”
“Fifth Young Grandmother did sincerely want to do everything right and take care of the Seventh Prince and Lord Xinling as well.”
“The problem is that the Fifth Young Grandmother’s maiden family is only a mere sixth-ranked official!”
“Here, the slave girl dares to borrow the words of the eldest young granny: the fifth young granny’s insights are limited, her talents are mediocre, and she has only entered the door for a short period of time, and even before the Queen Consort went there, when the eldest young granny’s pregnancy wasn’t heavy, she taught her a little hand-to-hand, but she was still confused!”
“So for a while now, the inner house of the king’s house has really been …”
Lian Yue revealed a helpless look, “But both the prince and the second prince are still in mourning, it’s impossible for these two to immediately marry a capable and knowledgeable one into the house to take care of the inside and outside, right?”
“Like this time when County Lord Xinling contracted an illness, it was due to the inattentiveness of those around her.”
“Although the Fifth Young Grandma invited the Imperial Physician upon hearing of the incident, she also personally boiled and fed the medicine to County Mistress Xinling, fulfilling her duties as a sister-in-law. However, if she were a truly capable house mother, there would be no need for her to take this medicine at all!”
“Mrs. also know: the county princess at the beginning of the year that would have just been very sick, originally white and tender people, to now are thin and small, this look, where can not stand three days of illness?”
“That’s why Great Young Grandmother sent her slave girl to tell you these things – purely out of concern for County Lord Xinling, and absolutely nothing else!”
“As for what you want to do, ma’am, the Great Young Grandmother says she listens to you!”
Song Yixiao heard these words, only to feel sour and astringent in her heart, “This retribution also came too quickly! However, Zhuo’er is only four years old this year, and the sins she suffered earlier were not enough? Now, why is he in such a mess?”
The reason why the Hengshan Royal House’s Fifth Young Grandmother couldn’t take care of the large Royal House when her mother-in-law passed away and her eldest sister-in-law was in labor is not because this Fifth Young Grandmother was personally chosen by Wei Mengying for her concubine son?
She is so qualified as a stepmother, the fifth son Lu Zimiao has always been like a transparent person in the house and not valued, Wei Mengying chose his wife, of course, it is according to the low birth, honest character, low ability of these standards, lest the daughter-in-law enter the door, to become the second Jin.
As a result, this fifth young granny was really as Wei Mengying expected, honest and obedient and good at bullying – but in the end, it was still a pitfall for Wei Mengying’s own daughter!
“I understand all of sister-in-law Kong’s good intentions, how could I misunderstand her?” Song Yixiao was sad for a while before collecting her emotions and gently said to Lian Yue, “Let me think about this matter, I’ll go and thank sister-in-law Kong again in a couple of days.”
Lian Yue was busy saying that she didn’t dare.
Song Yi smiled and rewarded her with a pair of gold collars, and sent her away.
“Chi Qiang, go to the front and see if husband is busy?” After Lian Yue left, Song Yixiao pondered for a moment and called out to the maid to instruct, “If he’s not busy, ask him to come over, I have something to discuss with him.”
A few moments later Jian Xubai came in, Song Yi smile signaling the subordinates are out, this is the language of the Lotus Moon one by one with him, and finally said, “I want to thrive to take over some days, at least to live until she’s strong, will not be underneath a careless on the sick, and then send her back to Hengshan Wang Fu, can it?”
“This is the right thing to do.” Jian Xu Bai has been worried that after the truth is exposed, his wife will turn against him, and now there is an opportunity to please his sister-in-law, how can he let go? Besides, Lu Zhuo Er does not want him to serve him personally, but it is just a matter of sending a few subordinates, then said, “It is also our negligence these days, Hengshan Wang Fu since the mother in law went away, there is really nothing that can hold up the scene of the female family members. Earlier thought, should have taken sister over.”
Speaking here, he asked, “Do you want to bring your brother-in-law over to stay with you for a few days?”
“I’m not very worried about Guanyun!” Song Yi smiled and shook her head, “Firstly, he wasn’t in the car when my mother was assassinated, he didn’t get shocked in person, and he didn’t get sick afterward; secondly, Sister-in-law Kong didn’t mention him, so I think that he should be doing well, after all, the Prince of Hengshan has cared for him the most in the past two years; thirdly, he has Mother Bo by his side, that’s an old man left behind by my mother, who watched the several of us grow up, and will certainly be attentive to him. ”
She trusted Mother Bo, not so much in Mother Bo’s character, but in this mother’s scheming: after losing Wei Mengying as a backer, if Mother Bo didn’t want to lose her power from now on, she could only count on Lu Guanyun.
After all, Lu Guanyun is also Hengshan King’s own son, even if he is not the one who will inherit the royal house in the future, he will not be too downtrodden – he is He Lou Duhan’s disciple, so maybe he won’t have to rely on his father’s shade in the future, and he will be able to have a good career?
That’s why Bo’s mom will definitely put her best foot forward to take care of Lu Guanyun.
Thinking of this, Song Yixiao couldn’t help but feel a little heartbroken, regardless of Hengshan King, or Wei Mengying’s life, and now including the thin mother who is a slave, the most important thing is still Lu Guanyun.
Obviously, Lu Zhuo’er and Lu Zui’er suffered the most in the assassination of their birth mother, and even Lu Zui’er died prematurely as a result – but Mother Bo never asked to take care of these two little princesses, but instead seized the opportunity to go to Lu Guanyun’s side!
Although it is the norm to follow the trend, Song Yixiao still feels aggrieved for her half-sister.
She calmed down before continuing, “But although Prince Hengshan doesn’t bring Thuo’er with him at all times like he does with Guanyun, he isn’t someone who cares about his daughter at all in the end, so I don’t know if he’ll be willing to release her?”
This is just a simple matter for Jian Xu Bai, he has the backing of the Empress Dowager, as long as it is not a major issue related to the livelihood of the people, even the Duanhua Emperor will have to comply; not to mention that it is just a matter of transferring his wife and sister to his residence for some days to adjust, and is not going to harm the Xinling County Lord, how could the King of Hengshan not agree to it?
In this way, two days later, Xinling County Lord Lu Zhuo’er was picked up along with her nursemaid and others.
Looking at the thin and small, timid and silent sister, Song Yixiao heart so hard, rare cold daughter, holding her in her arms warm words to pacify for a long time, Fang personally took her to see where she lives.
Only after Lu Zhuo’er was settled, the people underneath came to report, “The Wei family is coming!”
“Wei family?” Song Yixiao sniffed, and her eyes went cold: although she was able to sympathize with Wei Chan’s actions of betraying Wei Mengying, and was forced to let the Wei family off the hook due to various considerations, Wei Mengying was in the end her own mother – not retaliating didn’t mean that she still intended to continue to interact with the foreign family.
At this moment, when he heard that the Wei family had sent someone over, naturally, it was impossible for him to welcome them as warmly as before, and he was silent for quite a while before he faintly said, “Bring them over!”
She’d like to see what this foreign family was up to again!
