Cousin Chitose Chitose

Jiang Lian hugged Jiang Yuanwan tightly in his arms, and his heart seemed to be full. This is his sister who is connected by blood!

"These years, I have suffered for you."

Although Jiang Yuanwan said that she was brought into the mansion by the Marquis of Changning and hadn't suffered much, Jiang Lian didn't believe it.

When her parents died, Jiang Yuanwan was still so young.How could she not be afraid of being suddenly sent from the palace to a poor nunnery with no relatives around her?Even later, Marquis Changning found her by accident and took her into the mansion to raise her as a relative's lady, but she was sent under the fence, and every scrap of paper, stitch and thread would depend on the face of the person. None of those women in the house are good stubble, how can they be as comfortable as living in their own?

"A Yuan, in the future, brother will take good care of you and won't let you suffer."

Jiang Yuanwan lay obediently in Jiang Lian's arms, feeling warm in her heart.

Her brother's arms are firm and strong, with him around, it seems that she can shield her from the storm, the wind, the frost, and the sword.She no longer has to worry about things outside.

It's good to have the feeling of my brother's pain.

The exhausted boats and cars along the way seem to disappear in this embrace.

Seeing Jiang Yuanwan's reliance on Jiang Lian made Wei Yichen feel a little sour.Jiang Yuanwan had never been so dependent on her before.Jiang Yuanwan has always been quite self-reliant in front of him, even if the two have established a relationship now.

But in the face of Jiang Lian, who has not reunited for a long time, Jiang Yuanwan showed the attitude of a little daughter, acting like a baby and being dependent, like a small animal that has found a home, showing a truly relaxed attitude.

Wei Yichen finally understands why his brother-in-law can't get along well with his brother-in-law, for example, he has a lot of opinions on his brother-in-law now!Why didn't he let go of his wife after hugging her for so long?His daughter-in-law couldn't see him anymore!

"Yuanyuan, don't forget the purpose of our trip." Wei Yichen reminded from the side.

"By the way, I am here this time because I have something extremely important to bring to my brother."

With that said, Jiang Yuanwan looked around, she couldn't discuss such important matters in public: "Let's talk in another place."

After a while, several people sat in Jiang Lian's house at the border.

There are Jiang Lian's personal soldiers outside the house, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuanwan took out the imperial decree from her bosom and handed it to Jiang Lian: "This is the secret decree left by the emperor's uncle, the emperor's grandfather. With this imperial decree, we can justifiably eradicate the Empress Dowager Liu .”

Jiang Lian solemnly opened the imperial decree, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly asked: "Recently, what happened in Beijing?"

"When we left, I heard that the emperor wanted to make you the heir apparent, but the Empress Dowager Liu disagreed, and the two were at a stalemate."

Jiang Lian sighed, and handed the imperial decree to General Zhuang and Zhuang Tan: "You guys should take a look too."

After General Zhuang and Zhuang Qin read the imperial decree, the former was frowning, feeling that a big change was about to happen; the latter showed excitement.

"Father, with this imperial decree, we can bring down the queen mother! The emperor intends to appoint His Highness as the crown prince. Without the hindrance of the queen mother, this will no longer be a problem."

General Zhuang gave him a cold gouging look: "Have you ever thought about why the emperor handed over this imperial decree to us? This shows that the emperor can no longer suppress the queen mother, and we might go to the step of remonstrating."

"Father, I know you hope that the capital will be fine, and the emperor will be fine, but this is not something we can decide." Zhuang Qin said seriously: "The Empress Dowager Liu has always been unwilling to settle down, and this time she even murdered the emperor. If you don't bring troops back to the capital, do you really want to see Empress Dowager Liu kill the emperor, and then cover the sky with one hand?"

His father was a first-class expert in war, but he was a little pedantic in the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and he couldn't get around it for a while.However, with him around, he would always try to persuade his father.

"Father, it's not that we're restless this time, it's the queen mother who doesn't let us be. This imperial decree is a letter from the emperor asking for help. Are you going to ignore the emperor's request for help?"

Upon hearing this, General Zhuang stared blankly at the imperial decree and remained silent for a long time.

"Your Highness, what do you think we should do with this matter?" Zhuang Qin handed over the initiative to Jiang Lian.

Jiang Lian thought for a moment, and said: "Most of the imperial guards are now in the hands of the queen mother. If the emperor wants to get rid of the queen mother and take back the power, it is impossible to rely on this imperial decree. Therefore, we want to let the queen mother The only way to act according to the late emperor's will is by force."

"In my opinion, let's take this imperial decree and contact the generals who were loyal to the late emperor and the emperor, and fight back to the capital together to eradicate the traitors and help the orthodox!"

The process of persuasion was not very smooth. Many generals still had concerns about fighting back to the capital. After all, if they did such a thing, they would be labeled as treason if they were not careful.

At the same time, the situation in Beijing and China became more and more serious.

General Zhuang defeated the people of Beiliang, and he handed over the paperwork for his subordinates early on, but Chaozhong kept holding the paperwork without any response.

The emperor announced Jiang Lian's identity in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and stated that he wanted to make Jiang Lian the crown prince. This was strongly opposed by the Queen Mother's party: "The emperor is not childless, so why appoint someone else's son?"

The emperor said with a pale face: "The country is dependent on the king. If I have a strong body, I can teach the prince slowly and see if he is suitable to be a king."

"But now, I don't know which day it will be useless. In my great Qi, there are barbarians in the east staring at it, and the barbarians in the south are submissive, and the power of the former dynasty in the west is still not wiped out. Although the people of Northern Liang are temporarily defeated, But it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Under such circumstances, how can I safely hand over the country to a child who doesn't know if he can grow up?"

Empress Dowager Liu said: "There are so many ministers in the court to assist you, what else do you have to worry about?"

The emperor said quietly: "I can still be the master now, and the court and the central government will have to argue for a long time about the frontline war and the establishment of the reserve. If it is replaced by a new emperor who is not sure about his decision, I am afraid that the foreign enemy will not come here in the future. People fought first."

This remark was endorsed by many courtiers.

If there is a milk emperor sitting on the throne, after all, it is not as reassuring as an adult emperor who can make up his mind.

The crown prince proposed by the emperor is the eldest son of Crown Prince Kang Yu, which is very suitable in name, but in terms of his own talent - the eldest grandson of the emperor was quite talented at the beginning, and now he has made great achievements in the battle against Beiliang , both civil and military, it is more appropriate.

It is better to have such a crown prince come back to preside over the overall situation than to completely fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Liu.Empress Dowager Liu is... really hard to describe.

Even some ministers who wanted to seize power also agreed with Jiang Lian as the crown prince.Jiang Lian has been far away from the center of power for many years, and has a shallow foundation in the court. After returning, how dare he ignore the opinions of the veterans?On the contrary, Empress Dowager Liu has controlled the government for many years. If she is allowed to hold the new emperor in the palm of her hand, these old officials will have to take the path of courtiers to curry favor with Empress Dowager Liu if they want to go further in the future.

But at this time, the emperor suddenly asked: "General Li, what do you think about the establishment of the crown prince?"

This General Li is the uncle of Concubine Li Xian in the palace.Suddenly asked this question by the emperor, General Li said without looking sideways: "This matter is of great importance, and I dare not discuss it rashly."

The emperor smiled but said, "So, Li Aiqing is not ready to make a statement?"

General Li's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and the emperor completely sank when he saw this.

The Li family was originally a supporter of the emperor, but in this matter, considering their own interests, they chose to remain silent, neither agreeing with the Empress Dowager Liu nor the emperor.

If the emperor succeeds, then the Li family is still an unwavering imperial party, and all they need to give up is a niece in the palace, but if the Empress Dowager Liu's plan is successful, the next emperor will have half of the Li family. The blood of the family!For the Li family, this was an irresistible temptation.Although the Empress Dowager Liu will be an obstacle, the Li family may not be unable to contend with the Empress Dowager Liu due to their identity as the mother of the new emperor.

The emperor naturally saw General Li's thoughts, and he was quite disappointed with General Li.I thought that General Li was the most upright minister, but who knows, he still couldn't resist the erosion of power-desire.

Seeing the emperor's expression, General Li's heart tightened.

Seeing that the emperor gained the upper hand in the turmoil of establishing a reserve, the emperor fell ill again that night.

Zhuang Qin paced restlessly in the room: "The queen mother must not be allowed to regain the initiative, otherwise, our plan may come to naught."

Wei Yichen and the emperor had a very good relationship, and when he heard the news of the emperor's repeated illness, he also frowned: "You're right, we can't drag it on any longer, the more it drags on, the worse it will be for us. The military generals on the sidelines will take a dose of strong medicine."

"What do you mean?" After getting along these days, General Zhuang also knew that Mr. Wen, this grandson, had a lot of tricks.I don't know how a man as upright as Mr. Wen, with a bad temper and a bad temper, gave birth to such a grandson.

"You say, if we tell those generals that Empress Dowager Liu already knows that we have a 'close relationship' with them these days, what will they think? Empress Dowager Liu has never been a tolerant person."

Zhuang Tan's eyes lit up: "You are right. Now, Empress Dowager Liu is about to regain power. If they know that they have been targeted by Empress Dowager Liu, they have no choice but to help us achieve success." It's time!"

With that said, Zhuang Tan gave Wei Yichen an appreciative glance.

Fortunately, this person is now on their side, otherwise, I'm afraid they will have a headache.

"This plan is feasible, even those generals are not fools. We have to think about how to implement it, so as to win their trust." Jiang Lian said.

"I would like to help my brother." Jiang Yuanwan, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly said at this moment: "I am from the capital, if I say that when I was in the middle of the capital, I often heard people from the queen's party talk about replacing these generals, These generals must still believe a thing or two." As she spoke, she blinked at Jiang Lian: "Anyway, I'm just an 'outspoken, unseen' woman in the back room, if I accidentally reveal something, It also makes sense."

Seeing that Jiang Yuanwan, a junior, is so active, General Zhuang is naturally not far behind.

He is a person who accepts death, which is a bad thing, but also a good thing.His temper made it more difficult for Zhuang Qin and Jiang Lian to persuade him to join the gang, but once he decided that Jiang Lian was the most suitable person to be the prince, he would spare no effort to help Jiang Lian.

"I can also talk to my colleagues about how the Empress Dowager Liu guarded against me and stabbed me in the back. Anyway, this is the truth." General Zhuang has always been straight-hearted, and everyone knows that he will not It was created out of nothing, and after listening to his words, one would naturally feel a sense of death on the lips and teeth, and the antipathy towards the Queen Mother would naturally increase in his heart, and he would be closer to Jiang Lian and others invisibly.

Seeing this, Wei Yichen said, "Then I will be responsible for persuading these generals in the end." He is a civil servant, and his words are all practiced by scolding and fighting with others on a daily basis. A military general with a single-minded mind is no problem.Moreover, he has another identity, he is the emperor's confidant, and if he persuades these military generals, these generals may be easier to accept.

The three quickly acted separately.

These days, under the repeated persuasion of the first emperor Jiang Lian and others, the generals have already wavered.At this time, seeing that they took out their maces again, they naturally agreed.

With the legacy of the late emperor and the support of Wei Yichen, the confidant of the current emperor, what are they afraid of?But for the Empress Dowager, if they don't try to suppress this woman again, I'm afraid they will all be killed to make room for the Empress Dowager's cronies!

……

In August of the sixth year of Zhaoyuan, Jiang Lian and others attacked the capital under the banner of saving the emperor and punishing traitors.Due to the large number of troops, even though Empress Dowager Liu quickly sent generals close to her to deal with Jiang Lian and others, they were still defeated.Jiang Lian and others attacked the capital like a broken bamboo all the way.

Just when Empress Dowager Liu was in a state of desperation and wanted to use the emperor as a shield, she found that the emperor had been taken out of the palace by her cronies out of the secret passage at some point.

Jiang Lian and others who arrived in the capital did not rush to besiege the palace after ensuring the safety of the emperor. Evidence from Beiliang people.

This incident caused an uproar in the court.Although the ministers had given up hope on Empress Dowager Liu's political quality and overall outlook, this incident still shocked them.

Does Empress Dowager Liu have no bottom line in order to seize power?How stupid!

If her son has been in power, even if all the power in her hands is taken away, she will not lack in glory and wealth for the rest of her life.But she actually cooperates with people from Beiliang!Doesn't she know that she is seeking skin from a tiger?If General Zhuang failed to stop the Beiliang people and let the Beiliang people attack all the way, half of Daqi's country would be exposed to the Beiliang people's iron cavalry immediately!

This is the first time that the courtiers have gritted their teeth against the Empress Dowager Liu.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Lian took out the late emperor's will and advised Empress Dowager Liu to act according to the late emperor's will and be buried for the late emperor.

Empress Dowager Liu naturally refused. Morally, she immediately fell into a disadvantage.Those who supported the emperor naturally criticized her, and even those who supported her, whether because of the situation or disagreed with some of her actions, stopped speaking out for her.

Although Empress Dowager Liu is in control of the Imperial Guard Army, she no longer has the biggest bargaining chip that can restrain Jiang Lian and others and generals - the emperor.The idea in her hands was not enough for the army brought by Jiang Lian, and it was only a matter of time before she became a prisoner.

These days, Empress Dowager Liu is like an ant on a hot pot every day, and she can't even sleep well, because she is afraid that she will suddenly wake up one day and find that she has been put on the neck with a knife.

Empress Dowager Liu even suspected that Jiang Lian was deliberately torturing her.Obviously as long as Jiang Lian gives an order, the palace will be breached and she will become Jiang Lian's prisoner, but Jiang Lian is like a cat playing with a mouse, taking pleasure in teasing her.

In fact, Empress Dowager Liu guessed right, Jiang Lian was indeed seeking revenge for his father and mother.

During the period when the witchcraft disaster broke out, his father could not sleep all day long, and his mother was also worried and frightened. In the end, they were forced to a dead end...

Although the person who directly framed Jiang Lian and Jiang Yuanwan's parents was not Empress Dowager Liu, Empress Dowager Liu also contributed to the flames for her own selfishness.Now, except for the Empress Dowager Liu, those who harmed the Crown Prince Kang Yu and the Crown Princess have been dealt with by the late Emperor.Naturally, Jiang Lian would ask Empress Dowager Liu to settle this account.

Empress Dowager Liu was terrified for several days, and the palace people around her also followed her in fear for several days.These days, the palace people are all in a state of high tension, and no one can take a good rest.

However, Empress Dowager Liu has become extremely difficult to serve at this time.

She was uneasy in her heart, so she easily got angry because of some trivial things, and shouted and killed the people under her opponents.Under such circumstances, the people below were naturally resentful towards her.

If Empress Dowager Liu is still in power, the people below will not dare to offend her no matter what.Unfortunately, she was almost unable to turn over, and if she was still so arrogant, the people below would hate her day after day.

One night, Empress Dowager Liu slept very deeply.It wasn't until the feeling of suffocation came that she realized that she was strangled by silk and satin by a group of court ladies and eunuchs whom she usually looked down upon!

The maids and eunuchs panicked when they found out that Empress Dowager Liu had woken up, but soon, one of the eunuchs said, "If we do this, there will be no turning back! If the Empress Dowager does not die here today, the one who will die is Let's work harder and send the Empress Dowager back to the west!"

"The first emperor had a decree long ago for the empress dowager to be buried for him. Now, we are not considered to be guilty of the following, but we can only be regarded as following the imperial decree of the late emperor."

Soon, the maids and eunuchs calmed down, and the silk around Empress Dowager Liu's neck was tightened again.

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were wide open, and she was about to sternly reprimand the eunuch, but when she saw him approaching her, she sneered coldly: "Empress Dowager, when you don't treat the slaves as human beings, I'm afraid you would have never imagined that you would die in our place today." In the hands of these insignificant little people?"

These were the last words Empress Dowager Liu heard.

Everyone was ready for Empress Dowager Liu's stubborn resistance, and was finally executed by Jiang Lian.

Who would have expected that Empress Dowager Liu would die in such a ridiculous and absurd manner in the end?

After learning the news of Empress Dowager Liu's death, the emperor was silent for a long time before saying, "That's fine."

His mother committed many sins and hurt many people.Although he died disgracefully now, it can be regarded as atonement.

"I know that my mother has done a lot of things for you brothers and sisters, but death is like a lamp going out. I hope you don't make things difficult for her after her death." The emperor called Jiang Lian and Jiang Yuanwan brothers and sisters to him, Said these words to them.

No matter how much the Empress Dowager Liu is wrong, it is his mother after all, and he will always keep her safe after death.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, we won't do anything to the empress dowager—I will send her to be buried with the late emperor, and her name as empress dowager will always be kept."

The first emperor originally wanted to be buried with Empress Cishun, but Empress Cishun hated the first emperor so much during her lifetime. After she hanged herself and died, the first emperor personally buried her in the concubine mausoleum.The first emperor felt ashamed of her, so he did not touch her tomb.

As for Mrs. Liu, she was originally the most beloved concubine of the late emperor, but before the late emperor made his fortune, the two of them had already reached the point where they were in conflict.Jiang Lian felt that the first emperor might not be willing to see Mrs. Liu.

But that's good, isn't it?These two people have similar temperaments, and they are not good guys.They are together, presumably will not be lonely.

Jiang Lian's hatred for Empress Dowager Liu is pure, but his feelings for the first emperor are much more complicated.

When he was young, Emperor Xian held him on his knees and proudly said that he was worthy of being his grandson. After he was enlightened, Emperor Xian also taught him and sent people to pay attention to his studies... He was once a respected person to Emperor Xian. Those who respect and admire.But later, it was also the first emperor who pushed their family into the abyss and ruined his family.

Now, Jiang Lian can no longer tell whether he loves the late emperor more or hates him more.

Next, Jiang Lian and Jiang Yuanwan recognized their ancestors under the arrangement of the clan, and they regained their royal surnames, namely Zhou Lian and Zhou Yuanwan.

Zhou Yuanwan hasn't moved out of Changning Hou Mansion yet.On the day the emperor sent someone to the Marquis of Changning's mansion to announce the decree, everyone in the Marquis of Changning's mansion was shocked except for the two insiders, Marquis of Changning and Mrs. Tai.

"Isn't Jiang Yuanwan just an orphan girl? How could she suddenly become Zhou Yuanwan? Is this a mistake?" The second lady said in disbelief.

"Are you suspecting that the miscellaneous family is spreading the imperial decree?" The eunuch proclaiming the decree gave the second lady a bad look, and when he turned to face Zhou Yuanwan, he was respectful again: "Princess Zhaohua, please accept the imperial decree, let The slave should go back and return to life."

The emperor is already planning to pass the imperial edict located in Zhou Lian!As soon as Zhou Lian came to the throne, Zhou Yuanwan, as Zhou Lian's only younger sister, should have such a respectable status!

However, these people around do not know.Just the name of Princess Zhaohua knocked them out of their wits.

"Princess Zhaohua? Jiang Yuanwan is actually the princess of the royal family?"

"Zajia reminds all the ladies that the identity of Princess Zhaohua is different from before. Ladies, you can no longer call Princess Zhaohua by her name directly. You should also salute to Princess Zhaohua when you see Princess Zhaohua. Otherwise, you will commit the following crimes. .”

Seeing that Zhou Yuanwan had accepted the imperial edict, the eunuch wanted to sell her a favor, so he slapped the people around her for her.

Then, he was satisfied to see the panic on the faces of these women.

"Princess, the servant will go back first. If you have anything to do, just send someone to tell the servant."

While Zhou Yuanwan was talking to the eunuch Xuanzhi, the wives and ladies in the Marquis of Changning's residence were also whispering.

"Did Hou Ye know about this early in the morning?"

Someone thumped their feet and stomped their chests: "No wonder, no wonder Marquis Changning loved Jiang so much before... Princess, if there is any good thing, let her pick it first. On weekdays in the mansion, others never allow others to bully her... Mrs. Tai is right Her attitude is also very strange... Hey, why didn't I expect that her background would be so unusual!"

Because it is a common thing to have a red top and a white one, many people in the mansion, from the masters at the top to the servants at the bottom, have offended and neglected Jiang Yuanwan - such as the second wife and Wei Jinshu's mother and daughter, the third wife and Wei Jinshu Jinyi mother and daughter, as well as the fourth wife and Wei Jinxiu mother and daughter.

At this time, they really regretted it.

Zhou Yuanwan had just sent the eunuch away when she saw the people in front of her waiting in line to plead guilty to her: "In the past, we were ignorant and offended the princess. Please don't remember the villain's mistakes, sir. Get acquainted with us."

"Did anything happen in the past? I forgot." Zhou Yuanwan said lightly.

Jiang Yuanwan looked at the faces that were once arrogant but now humble, and felt very boring.

She never intended to get entangled with these people.As long as these people don't jump up and down in front of her in the future, she will naturally not do anything to them.

These people didn't know what Zhou Yuanwan was thinking. Seeing Zhou Yuanwan's indifferent attitude, they just thought that Zhou Yuanwan was unwilling to forgive them, and their hearts became more panicked, so they did many things to please Zhou Yuanwan.

Today, some of them dedicate the treasures they found with great difficulty to Zhou Yuanwan, and tomorrow they will bring the newly acquired materials for Zhou Yuanwan to choose first, and some people even ask their mother clan to buy things in Zhou Yuanwan's shop to promote Zhou Yuanwan's shop .

All of this made Zhou Yuanwan dumbfounded.

After the name of Princess Zhaohua spread, the business of Zhou Yuanwan's various shops improved a lot. After all, the name of Princess Royal is quite famous.

Zhou Yuanwan previously spent 7 taels of silver and emptied her savings. Now, it is not too much to describe her as a rich man.If what happened there happened again, according to her current financial resources, she would never worry about money again.

I have to admit that power is really easy to use.

On this day, Mrs. Changning Hou just woke up, and suddenly heard the excitement outside, she couldn't help asking: "Has anything good happened in the mansion recently?"

Mrs. Changninghou's confidant maid was transferred away by Changninghou long ago, and the rest of the maidservants she had a relationship with also left this icehouse-like place in search of connections.The ones still staying by her side are maidservants with no background.

Seeing Madam Changning Hou lose power, these maidservants naturally couldn't have a good attitude towards her.

"Of course it's a good thing. Someone from the palace came to pick up Princess Zhaohua, who lives in our house."

"Princess Zhaohua?" Mrs. Changning Hou's face was full of bewilderment.When will there be an extra princess in the house, why doesn't she know?

Seeing this, the servant girl curled her lips and smiled uneasy and kindly: "Ma'am, I'm afraid she doesn't know yet, this Princess Zhaohua is the Miss Biao of our family! Now, Miss Biao has finally come to the end of all her hardships."

This maid obviously knew about the festivities between Mrs. Changning Hou and Zhou Yuanwan.She deliberately said these words in front of Mrs. Changning Hou, just to stimulate Mrs. Changning Hou.

Madam Changning Hou was stunned.

To her, the words "Princess Zhaohua" seemed to have been heard somewhere.She thought about it carefully, and then remembered the identity of the other party.

The orphan of Crown Prince Kang Yu!The Marquis of Changning actually adopted the orphan of Crown Prince Kang Yu!Doesn't this mean that the Marquis of Changning had already had a different heart? ! ! !

Mrs. Changning Hou burst into laughter suddenly, and then burst into tears.

"Master Hou, it's hard for you to lie to me!"

She felt that she had lived like a fool all these years.

She used to think that Marquis Changning would marry her because he liked her.Now Fang knows that she was completely taken advantage of by Marquis Changning.

"Where's my aunt? With my aunt here, how could my aunt allow Crown Prince Kang Yu to come out in the same vein?"

The servant girl's eyes flickered: "Don't you know? The empress dowager passed away as early as last month. The first emperor left a decree for the empress dowager to be buried."

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Mrs. Changning Hou let out a desperate roar from her throat like a beast driven to a desperate situation.

The servant girl who was talking to her took a step back, catching the trace: "If you don't believe what the servant girl said, you can find someone else to ask and see if the servant girl has lied to you."

The next day, when the maids went to wake Mrs. Changninghou up, they found her crazy.

……

The wife of the Marquis of Changning had also targeted Zhou Yuanwan several times, but she wondered if her son had raised Zhou Yuanwan after all.Zhou Yuanwan has to think about this friendship no matter what, and still treat her respectfully.

Now that Zhou Yuanwan has recovered her identity, it's time to repay the family.

However, Mrs. Tai soon discovered that Zhou Yuanwan treated her only because of face.On the surface, he was close, but in fact he didn't take her seriously in his heart—just like she had treated her before.

This made Mrs. Tai, who was used to being the pinnacle of the pagoda, very uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.

Zhou Yuanwan's attitude became more and more obvious when there was a comparison between the Cai family and the Wang family.

Cai Yueqin and Wang Mengyao, who treat Zhou Yuanwan sincerely, have benefited to varying degrees because of Zhou Yuanwan.Only the Wei family, who clearly raised Zhou Yuanwan, only received some money and words of gratitude from the outside.If Mrs. Tai asked for something - for example, when she wanted to ask for a position for her natal nephew, Zhou Yuanwan would refuse her.

If Mrs. Tai wants to use the kindness of taking care of Zhou Yuanwan before, Zhou Yuanwan will immediately say with a smile that she still remembers how Mrs. Tai "took care" of her in the past, for example, asking Wei Jinxuan to hold a banquet for her to apologize Sometimes, in order to give Wei Jinxuan a sigh of relief, she deliberately asked her to wait at the door; for example, when the second wife wanted to mess up their housekeeping, the first thing Madam Tai thought of was how to push the matter to Zhou Yuanwan body...

Zhou Yuanwan has never been a stingy person, but she is born with a good brain, remembering things better than others

It's fine if Mrs. Tai doesn't come to provoke her, thinking of the kindness of the Wei family's upbringing, she will always treat Mrs. Tai respectfully.But if Mrs. Tai insists on taking this kindness as a blessing... then I'm sorry!Zhou Yuanwan has never been a master who will suffer!

When Mrs. Tai was crying with Marquis Changning, Marquis Changning had no choice but to comfort her: "Fortunately, brother Chen has the foresight and has already captured Yuanyuan. When she marries into our mansion and becomes our daughter-in-law, why don't you still marry her?" Can you make a profit for our family?"

Mrs. Tai felt that what she said made sense, and this time she burst into laughter.

None of them thought that Zhou Yuanwan would never marry into the Marquis of Changning.

Half a month later, the dying emperor wrote an imperial edict to pass the throne to Zhou Lian.

After Zhou Lian ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to canonize his younger sister as the eldest princess of Zhaohua, with two thousand households in the city, and bestowed the eldest princess mansion.

The second thing is to add officials and ranks to those ministers who supported him.

Of course Wei Yichen was among them.However, he rejected Zhou Lian's reward, expressing his admiration for Princess Zhaohua and only wanting to be Princess Zhaohua's son-in-law.

Zhou Lian thought about it and agreed.

Although he didn't like the big-tailed wolf that took his sister away, he was still sincere to his sister.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yuanwan has already identified Wei Yichen, so what can Zhou Lian, an older brother, do?Of course, I can only recognize it by pinching my nose.

Three months later, Emperor Zhao died of illness.

Due to the emperor's grand travels and the need to observe filial piety, Zhou Yuanwan dressed very plainly.

Zhou Yuanwan didn't have much contact with this uncle in name, even if she was sad, it was very limited.

But Wei Yichen and Prince Rong's son Zhou Jing were really sad about Emperor Zhao's departure.After all, Emperor Zhao was the one they swore allegiance to, and they shared weal and woe with Emperor Zhao.

Seeing Wei Yichen's depression, Zhou Yuanwan felt distressed. These days, she has been changing ways to please Wei Yichen.

Ever since Zhou Yuanwan moved to the Princess Eldest Mansion, it was very difficult for Wei Yichen to meet her.However, these days, the two always "encounter" on the street, Wei Yichen thought about it for a while, and then understood what was going on, and his heart warmed slightly.

Someone was caring about him, silently comforting him in his own way... With this recognition, Wei Yichen gradually came out of the haze of losing his best friend and lord.

In the future, another person will participate in his joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys.

That being the case, he can't stay depressed forever, he has to cheer up for Zhou Yuanwan.

It was also because of this experience that Wei Yichen realized how much Zhou Yuanwan cared about him.Although his mood gradually improved under Zhou Yuanwan's various actions, he still had a sad face, waiting to see how Zhou Yuanwan planned to comfort him.

Zhou Yuanwan was in a hurry at first, but after discovering Wei Yichen's little thoughts, she was so angry that she ignored him for three whole days.

Wei Yichen coaxed her for a while before coaxing her well.

"If you do this again in the future, don't expect me to talk to you." Zhou Yuanwan warned.

"No, I won't dare again."

A year later, Princess Zhaohua married Wei Yichen.

On that day, the scene was extraordinarily grand.

Because the eldest princess Zhaohua is the only direct sister at present, she gave her sister a large dowry, and personally participated in the marriage, handing over her sister's hand to Wei Yichen's.

"I entrusted my sister to you because I saw your sincerity. If you dare to treat my sister badly in the future..."
