Chapter 686 Compromise with death
The edict of Ci'an Palace saw that the edict of Mrs. Wei Guo and Liu Niang was brought by Wei Zhao. Although the eldest princess was caught off guard, because Wei Zhao hinted that it was actually a holy meaning and intended to ask Liu Niang's wishes, this short sentence had several meanings. The eldest princess also understood that the empress dowager had no choice but to force There is no worry about the marriage. After all, whether Liu Niang married into the Chen family has nothing to do with the overall situation. It is impossible for the emperor to come forward to forcibly marry in person, which caused controversy. Since the Empress Dowager asked Wei Zhao to go this trip, it also implies peace of mind.
The eldest princess did not have the leisure to meet the Huang family. She only told Liu Niang carefully, so that she did not need to be afraid. She only said the words in her heart and didn't have to worry about other things.
Liu Niang still looks light and clear, listening carefully and responding to promises one by one.
The foreign woman entered the palace, and her car was not allowed to enter the imperial city, but the Empress Dowager arranged the palace and pick-up in advance. Huang and Liu Niang did not need to walk in. Even so, when they arrived at Shenwumen, the two had to fall.
There is still a long way to enter from Shunzhen Gate, through the Royal Garden, and around the West Sixth Palace to Ci'an Palace.
Huang Shi pressed his forehead and staggered, and his whole body was almost not crooked on Liu Niang. In a blink of an eye, he became weak and dizzy.
This has entered late autumn and October. Is it possible to get heatstroke?
Wei Zhao, who was inseparable, felt deeply puzzled. Of course, he had to help Liu Niang help Huang and ask gently.
Huang pressed his hand on his chest and said breathlessly, "I'm old, and I often feel powerless and palpitated..."
Although Wei Zhao felt that something was unusual, he could not ignore his dignified lady and insisted on a patient to go to Ci'an Palace, so he had to ask the attendant to call a doctor, but he was stopped by Huang: "Don't bother, I'll just take a break for a while."
After a little hesitation, Wei Zhao had to help Huang to a shelter pavilion in front of the artificial stone before Yangxingzhai. When Huang was seated, Wei Zhao saw that her forehead trembled with her hands, and even cold sweat oozed out of her forehead, which did not seem to pretend, so he suggested that in order to avoid waiting for a long time, he would go back to the Ci'an Palace first. You can also ask for an order to arrange a sedan chair to pick up the Duke's wife.
Huang didn't even have the strength to thank her. Liu Niang was still a deep blessing and said calmly, "Thank you, aunt."
The two used to be good friends in the boudoir, but Wei Zhao was already a female official at this time, and Liu Niang also had to be called "aunt".
Although he was in the harem and the foreign minister was not allowed to set foot, Wei Zhao was still not at ease and told the two attendants to wait outside the pavilion and be careful not to let others collide, so he quickly walked away.
Of course, the internal servant was only waiting under the steps, and it was not easy to coexist with the "lonely man and woman". Seeing that her mother seemed to be afraid of cold, Liu Niang quickly closed the windshield door of the pavilion. She turned around and saw that Huang had stood up, and there was no disease.
Liu Niang lowered her eyes and covered the dark and unclear emotions in her dark eyes.
"Wind, my child." Opening her mouth was an emotional call. Huang's eyes were slightly red, but she saw her daughter standing with lowered her eyes and her face was calm, which made it difficult for her to speak.
In the face of this silent and somewhat stubborn daughter, Huang is indeed a little helpless.
"Mother knew that it was wrong for you to marry into the Chen family." She sighed. This was indeed a little true. As a mother, Huang was not satisfied with Chen Liulang's talent, but since she was instructed by Huang Tao to show her goodwill to the Chen family, she actually had the idea of marriage.
Liu Niang's life was hard. She was also born as the direct daughter of the Duke of Wei, but she had no chance to marry into the heavenly family from the beginning. Although the seventh prince and the sixth daughter were of age at the beginning, the Huang family looked down on the seventh prince at all. Sure enough, after succeeding to the throne, the seventh prince was immediately banned. At present, although he was released, he was only given the title of a prince. In fact, there was even an idle clan. Not as good as.
The parents and children of the late emperor did not enter Huang's eyes, let alone the ordinary clan.
She also knew that the eldest princess would never allow Liu Niang to become the imperial concubine.
Then the Chen family is undoubtedly the best choice. Unfortunately, only one Liulang's marriage has not been decided, and the subordinate Langjun is a concubine.
The Empress Dowager and Chen decided to promote this marriage, and the Huang family had no objection.
Not only that, she has to force Liu Niang to compromise today. Once Liu Niang agrees, she will not tell the eldest princess her words of "persuasion". The eldest princess will definitely suspect that the Empress Dowager forced Liu Niang to go against her will.
Huang took a deep breath and pretended not to be affected by Liu Niang's silent attitude. He would have planned to talk in detail. For Chen Liulang's turn around, he told An Hui the same words to Yijing: "I'm your biological mother, and you are the only biological daughter. If Chen Liulang is hopeless. The mother will not be so tolerant, but Fenger... You always like to read the mansion, and you are bound to understand that the emperor is very afraid of your father. The government is already in a dilemma, and it is difficult to protect the powerful authority of the late emperor. The Chen family is the father of the empress dowager. If you can marry with him, you can guarantee the family.
Liu Niang had heard this, and was not surprised at this time, but she only said lightly, "Grandma and father have never been worried about the honor and disgrace of the family, but my mother is attentive to everything. In usual, my mother doesn't like to watch the mansion to copy the government, but she has such insights."
Huang took a deep breath and naturally heard his daughter's irony.
"Mother, are you really not selfish for the honor and disgrace of the Su family?" Liu Niang's tone was still peaceful: "Mother might as well confess to her daughter, do you intend to inherit the title and try to let the third brother inherit it?"
Huang's tearful eyes touched Liu Niang's deep eyes, and her eyebrows jumped fiercely. When she wanted to scold her, she couldn't say it when she came to her mouth.
Now that she has come to this point, what's the use of maintaining a virtuous surface? The person in front of her is her biological daughter who was pregnant in October, the sister of Sanlang's mother's compatriots, not Huang Wan's daughter, not the two white-eyed wolves of Yichen and Yijing.
She took a deep breath again: "Feng'er, what kind of life my mother has been in the past few years. I believe you have heard and witnessed it. Since I married into the Su family, my words and deeds have been filial and cautious, and the family has never been good. But your grandmother has never trusted me because I am a concubine. The fifth girl has been deeply wary of me because of the Song family. That's all. She actually incited your grandmother and father, and later even Chen'er frowned at me!"
"Don't think your brother and sister-in-law treat me filial piety on the surface, and they don't treat me as my mother for a long time!"
"If they hadn't treated me like this, how could I have such a thought? Feng'er, don't believe your fifth sister. She is bound to make you feel better. Feng'er, Xi'er is your own brother. If he is well, you will rely on you in the future, and your mother will have a better day.
Huang held Liu Niang's hand tightly: "Mother knows why you are close to your fifth sister, stupid girl, and you admire your fifth brother-in-law..."
"Mother, be careful!" Liu Niang finally changed color, and two fierce lights burst out of her originally calm eyes.
Huang was stunned, but his palms were harder and tightened Liu Niang's delicate jade wrists.
"My mother regards me as Qin Qi?" In a flash, Liu Niang regained her calmness, and a trace of sarcasm provoked: "I told my mother what I heard and witnessed was that you were scheming and had been detected by your grandmother and father for a long time. However, looking at me and my third brother, she never pursued you, but only warned a little caution. Although you did not feed in the palm of your palm, but Zu My mother and father have never treated me harshly, that is, the eldest sister and fifth sister. Although I don't know what you have done to them and why you alienated them, they have not said a word of their mother in front of me and my third brother.
"That's their hypocrisy!"
"The two sisters are hypocritical, the brother and sister-in-law are hypocritical, and the grandmother and father are also hypocritical, but they have never thought of using me to force me, and the mother who thinks of me makes me compromise for wealth and power."
Every word went straight into Huang's chest like a sharp thorn, and the blood stained her cheeks and almost oozed out of her eyes.
"Feng'er, is that what you think?" If you ask, you will be weak and powerless.
"If the mother feels that her father is aggrieved and her grandmother is harsh, why not speak upright? In my eyes, my family is not unknown and indistinguishable from good and evil, but what I have witnessed is that my mother is superficially filial to her grandmother, superficially loving her father, and superficially loving her brothers and sisters, but in her heart, she feels that they have treated you harshly, so she has early resentment. Liu Niang shook her head: "Even your biological daughter, who was pregnant in October, was so obscene that she thought I had an intention to my brother-in-law?"
"There is only one truth in what my mother said today, that is, you really care about your third brother."
"But mother, how can the third brother ignore his relatives for the sake of power? In your eyes, the third brother is also so obscene.
After saying this, Liu Niang turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Huang's sleeve.
She knelt down.
On her knees, facing her daughter.
Because if you can't convince Liu Niang today, then the Empress Dowager will no longer trust her, and there is no chance of winning.
"Feng'er, if you don't care about my mother's life, what's the use of me living in the world? Listen carefully. If you refuse this marriage in Ci'an Palace, I will immediately end up in front of you on the way back."
Liu Niang did not hesitate. As soon as Huang's knees fell to the ground, she helped her up: "I promise you, but mother, one day you will regret it."
No, I won't, Huang looked at her daughter Xuan's straight back and thought silently.
You will.
Liuniang opened the pavilion and carved door and looked at the autumn clouds outside - you will, because I originally thought that marrying the Chen family was not an intolerable humiliation, but I was unwilling to be used and forced, but mother, in order to make me compromise, you made a bet on our mother-daughter relationship.
Count me in return for your birth.
