Chapter 677 Family Reunion, Princess Returns
Just after the Cold Clothes Festival in the first year of Yuanhe, the King of Chu and his wife returned to Beijing from Bingzhou, and a group of ships arrived at Tongzhou Port.
The day before yesterday, the King's Mansion of Chu received a message and arranged his subordinates and stewants to go to Tongzhou to welcome him. Although the elders were not in trouble with the etiquette, they went to greet them in person. The son of the Duke of Wei and his wife, Sanlang Suxiong and Silang Suwei also arrived at the port in advance. In addition, those who spontaneously rushed to Tongzhou also included the great-grandson of Princess Shou Taifei, the brothers Yu Ji and Nanyang County. Wang, and Princess Pingle, who had a big belly, and her trembling husband Wei Yuan.
Yijing's best friend was "wung her arms" by Wei Eleven Niang and quickly formed a group. Of course, the specific personnel were Zhuo Nianyu, Peng Lan, Xie Siniang, who had married into the Wei family, and Liao Qing, the wife of Nan Gu.
Anran was also pregnant at this time, so he stayed in the palace and waited, and did not go to the ferry with her husband Yin Yong.
When the ship entered the port, it was a feeling of holding hands when meeting relatives and friends.
Thinking that more relatives and friends are still looking forward to Jinyang, beautiful scenery certainly does not plan to rest in Tongzhou.
The royal palace in Suzhengfang has been full of guests since early morning. Of course, the family has been sent out by the Duke of Wei, and there are several in-laws. In addition to the Qin family, who feel embarrassed, there are also women's family members to congratulate each other. In addition to Princess Kang and several daughters-in-law will not be absent. In addition, Mrs. Xie of the Duke of Zhen , came to the royal palace early to help the old princess receive his relatives and friends. Yu Dong's crime was exposed and the whole family was extinct. The marriage friendship between the Xie family and the royal palace of Chu was not affected, but also went to another level. King Xian also swept away the previous coldness and had a normal enthusiasm for his uncle's family.
The women of the Yan family in Yongchang Houfu are not willing to lag behind. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren and all rooms are attended by important personnel, which shows the joy of the safe return of the princess. This also seems to represent the attitude of the empress dowager. At least her old man does not intend to pursue the princess's captrated without indiscriminate, which undoubtedly makes the heart of the eldest princess. Her head was slightly loose, but the mistress Huang's stepmother was not so gratified. At this time, she was obviously guarded by her husband's family, and then Mrs. Hou died of illness, but the Hou and his wife became more and more indifferent to her, as if they ignored it. Her mother's family could not count on it at all, and even the eldest daughter who was extremely filial to her. Since the death of King Fu, for some reason, his attitude has also changed, and his name has generally been changed to "Madam" according to the beautiful scenery. Not to mention obeying, he is too lazy to say more words to her. At several palace banquets, Yichen's attitude towards Huang's family made everyone sad, and gradually there were rumors of Huang's "wry-heartedness".
Seeing that the reputation that has been hard for many years is unbearable, Huang did not have the heart to do superficial work. When attending the banquet with his family, she became more far-fetched and became a smile - she can't hide it from those noble women. At present, who doesn't know that Chen and Qin families and the Duke of Wei are not at the same level, but Huang's heart is single-minded. Thinking about pleasing the two families, they rushed to flatter the empress dowager. With their eyes, they could see that Huang and the Duke of Wei were "a different way".
However, most of the nobles have interest entangles, and it is difficult for each room to achieve complete harmony. However, once there is a small dispute within the family, most of them become secondary to be provoked. Let alone the honor and humiliation of the relationship, it is bound to be united with the outside world. Therefore, the noble women are all committed to the behavior of Huang's elbows. He sneered and secretly laughed at her for being unruly and stupid.
Even the Qin and Chen families did not really pay attention to the Huang family, and when she was a chess piece that could be discarded in a short time, it was far less important than Huang Tao. Although she was "kind" to Huang Shi on the surface, she was really not friendly in her heart, and even revealed that However, it is easy to see that he is arrogant and superior, which makes Huang's heart more and more depressed.
She also secretly sneered - after a day, her son Su Qian inherited the title and became a believer of the emperor, and her brother Huang Tao is in the sky. Let's see if these people dare to despise her.
All friendships are hypocritical. Only the word "power" in the world is the key to determining honor. At that time, these so-called powerful nobles will always crawl in front of her and flatter slaves.
The Huang family is in the inner house, and her vision is short-sighted. It is not only the Duke of Wei himself who is afraid of the dragon chair, but the military power of the Su family. Even if her plan succeeds, it will be difficult for Su Xiong to retain the old situation in the future. The power of the Duke of the State is increasingly reduced. Sooner or later, he will become an empty duke. No matter how heavy Huang Tao is, he can keep it. It is probably Su Xiong's title. Huang wants to replace the eldest princess one day to become the object of the powerful and nobles, but it is just a mirror.
She didn't even know that her brother Huang Tao had had foresight, but she hid her in the drum - Huang Tao knew that he was unable to reverse the emperor's fear and suppression of the Duke of Wei, but what he planned was that in the future, he could also bring his sister and nephews, so as not to make their mother and son poor. Although they were no longer powerful, Returning the beautiful clothes and food to enjoy the honor. When the emperor suppresses the power and the unification of power, he will sooner or later take a policy to appease the old nobles. In terms of his loyal minister, he may also use Su Xiong one or twice. As long as he wins the Sacred Heart, he will not be afraid that there will be a day to regain his family prestige in the future.
Of course, it is impossible to hold the power as it is now, which is enough to restrain the emperor's power, but among the suppressed powerful groups, it is not impossible to show a higher head.
I have to say that Huang Tao still cares about family affection, and it is also a blessing for Huang to have this brother.
People's return is always looking forward to a bright future, but things are often unsatiable and always so cruel and ruthless.
When I heard that the king of Chu's car had arrived at Suzhengfang, the Rongxi Hall, which was full of Jiji, suddenly cheered. The old princess and the eldest princess worked closely together, and many women's families rejoiced one after another. Mrs. Xie and Anran took the lead to wait for the hanging flower door. Huang still sat in the chair with his mind and did not move her seat, or the third wife Xu's. When she woke up, she woke up like a dream. She was touching the cold eyes of the eldest princess, and the smile at the corners of her lips trembled again.
Today is not for a banquet. Many relatives and friends are conscious. After being polite with the princess of Chu, who returned from the disaster, most of them went to the banquet hall, leaving time for the princess to talk to their close relatives after a long separation. In this way, the stepmother Huang, who was sitting among the crowd, became more and more conspicuous - she was dismissed by the eldest princess. Obviously, she doesn't need to be present to care.
Only the eldest princess, Duke Wei, Su Yi and Wang's father and son knew about the truth of the abatriation. Not to mention that Su Xing and his sisters were hiding it in the drum, the Su family's aunts were not very good, and even the old princess did not understand it. Therefore, Yijing only said Yu's instructions and responded to the family's concerns with Qi Jiatang.
Yi Jing did not intend to hide it from the old princess, and felt it was really difficult to feel at ease, but Yu Yu did not agree with her telling the truth: "Whether the princess was captivated by the emperor or saved by the Qi family, she has never done anything wrong. She doesn't need to feel guilty. She hide it from her grandmother because she is frank and simple. If you are not good at planning, in case you spill your mouth, you will make waves if you are detected by someone with ulsibling intentions. At that time, your grandmother will blame herself. Not to mention your grandmother, if this matter can be concealed, it should not spread further.
Yi Jing didn't insist any more and lied in front of the old princess with one heart.
There was no publicity about Xiaoxiao's birth for the time being. Yi Jing only told the two grandmothers, and in front of the king, of course, Yu Yu explained it.
The old princess believed that Xiaoxiao was detained by Qi Jiatang, but the eldest princess found an opportunity to chat with beautiful scenery in private. Only then did beautiful scenery tell her grandmother about her experience for the rest of the year. The eldest princess was so angry that she filmed the case repeatedly: "Don't worry about you and your son. If Sanlang is still obsessed in the future, I will personally pick up Xiaoxiao and see him. Dare to disobey.
Yijing asked about the family again. She knew that the eldest sister-in-law had given birth to a little nephew in the old year, and the fourth uncle had also had a son. The second sister had just given birth to a daughter. At this time, the third sister had no good news and did not often contact with her mother's family. The fourth sister was still away from her husband's house. It is said that she had also had a son. The eldest sister's second daughter Xin'an has been able to run away. The sixth sister My sister's marriage is still undecided.
"The marriage of the seventh girl has an eyebrow. It is the nephew of your third aunt's sister-in-law. The family is a poetry and calligraphy family, and Xiaolangjun is also a talented person. I don't have any worries about your third aunt's vision. Even the sixth girl, I have been thinking about it. As you know, the sixth girl has always been high-hearted, although she doesn't care much about the family. , but in my private heart, I have always been willing that my husband is also talented and elegant in the future. She does not deserve such a good son-in-law, but she can't find a good one for a while. Either she is not suitable for her age, or she is a family... At present, the emperor is very afraid of the Duke of the country. I prefer the family of poetry and books, and I try to avoid the powerful families.
In fact, there are many talented and perfect children among the children of poor families. The eldest princess has always not paid much attention to the other party's family and pays attention to the family style. However, because the lintel of the Duke of Wei is placed here, those poor families are not easy to get married, let alone trying to marry the Duke of Wei. Although the eldest princess is moved, she wants to inquire about it. It takes some effort to come.
"Since I'm back, I can also keep some heart for my sixth sister. The Yang family and the Peng family are both a family of poetry and books. I took time to talk to Aliu Alan, and then there are Wei Hongru. The students are all over the north and south. I'm not afraid of asking about Lang Jun, who has a solemn and noble character, but maybe he is not in Beijing. I'm afraid that the sixth sister will marry far away." The scenery said.
If there is a suitable person, the eldest princess should have made a decision. She is still hesitant until this time, indicating that there is no satisfactory candidate in Jinyang.
Yi Jing never thought that the next day, she and Yu Yu went to Ci'an Palace with an edict and were confronted by the empress dowager. In front of the empress dowager, they mentioned the marriage of their sixth sister.
