The emperor is embarrassed

Although Mrs. Jiang is an elder, and she is very old now, she dare not be disrespectful in front of the Empress Dowager Wei.

This kind of respect does not only come from the identity of Queen Mother Wei. In fact, when Queen Mother Wei was young, she was raised in Kunning Palace. Even though Mrs. Jiang was an aunt, she did not dare to underestimate Queen Mother Wei.

Now that Empress Dowager Wei has given birth to an incredible son, Mrs. Jiang is naturally more careful.

Furthermore, if she can open her mouth about today's matter, she can't ask Madam Yongninghou to come along.Mrs. Jiang took a peek at the Empress Dowager Wei's face, and couldn't see what was good or bad, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty also knows that the Lin family and our family are engaged. I wanted to marry Sister Kuan as soon as possible. After some discussions at home, we agreed. Who knew we didn't know that this brother of the Lin family actually had a cousin who was a good match in the mansion. It's absurd to say, brother Lin My son wanted to accept his cousin as a child, and although Sister Kuan was displeased, she agreed in the end. But according to the rules, this aunt was required to set up a concubine's rule. Who knows when this aunt will be pregnant , unexpectedly had a miscarriage.”

"This matter was brought up by someone with a heart to make a fuss, saying that our daughter of the Wei family is not virtuous, and Lin Ge'er does not repair the book. It is really annoying." Jiang glanced at the Queen Mother Wei's expression, I dare not say anything more.

There was no difference behind Mrs. Wei, and said, "Since you have a clear conscience, you don't have to worry about anything. I'm here, and it's okay to give the Wei family justice. The Lin family, although the Linye branch has not been enshrined, is it the mother of Princess Lan? family, and his parent’s house also has the title of marquis. If someone raises this matter, it will be brought to the imperial capital for trial, and it will be innocent." Looking at Mrs. Jiang, the Empress Dowager Wei said calmly, "No one can be wronged. Don't worry, Auntie. Even if you have the Imperial History Ben, as long as you keep yourself upright, it will be fine."

When Queen Mother Wei said this, Mrs. Jiang was in a difficult situation for a while.

Mrs. Yongning Hou said angrily, "Second Aunt, the Empress Dowager is from our own family. In front of the Empress, what else do you have to hide? Isn't it heresy?"

Only then did Mrs. Jiang explain the matter in detail from beginning to end.

Now because of the Queen Mother Wei's status, although the Wei family has not modestly resigned from the title of Duke Cheng En, no one can underestimate the mother family of the Queen Mother Wei.No matter how low-key the Yongning Hou Mansion is, the Wei family's limelight among the wealthy families in the imperial capital is still the same for a while.

Otherwise, the Lin family can't take the initiative to marry the Wei family.

Marriage is a good thing to take two surnames.

The Lin family was able to marry the Wei family, so naturally they had some plans.In this matter, the two families have a tacit understanding.

As a result, no one expected that the Empress Dowager Wei chose a daughter from the Wei clan to marry Cheng Engong's son.

In this way, the Lin family will inevitably be paranoid.

At home, Wei Shikuan is also a pampered lady. Although she is not the official branch of the Marquis of Yongning, her grandfather and the old Marquis of Yongning are direct brothers. They were once officials to first-rank generals. Once married into the Lin family, her husband, Lin Wencai, was quite gentle and handsome, and Lin Wencai was the younger brother of Feng Minglan's wife, Princess Lin.

In this marriage, no matter in terms of the interests of both parties, whether they are well-matched, or whether they are talented or beautiful, they are a good match.

Concubine Lin is a first-rank concubine in terms of status, and in terms of relatives, she is Wei Shikuan's serious mother-in-law's aunt.As a nephew and daughter-in-law, Wei Shikuan naturally respected Princess Lin who lived in her natal family.

Besides, the fact that Concubine Lin lived in her natal family was originally Feng Mingrui's wife, Princess Wei, who was the boss.Since her husband passed away and her son was in his infancy in the palace, Princess Wei sent away the other concubines and concubines in the mansion, so it was inevitable that she would be lonely living in the empty palace.

Regardless of Wei An's poor reputation outside, he has been married for many years, has no children, and treats his nephews and nieces very well.Knowing the difficulty of Princess Wei, Wei An went to the palace to ask for an order, and took Princess Wei back to live in the mansion.

Since Princess Wei has this grace, other concubines such as Feng Minglan's Princess Lin and Feng Mingxiang's Princess Tian also benefited from the honor of Princess Wei and received this grace.

Being able to return to her natal home in a fair and honest manner, Princess Lin does not live in her natal home for a long time like Princess Wei, but runs between her natal palace and the palace.

The matter of the Wang family is related to Princess Lin.

Concubine Lin stayed at her natal family from time to time. The Lin family indeed had a distant cousin who came here because her parents died young.Now that we're married, it's really hard to drive people out.

This Miss Wang's Cousin is smart and has an outstanding appearance. She fell in the eyes of Princess Lin early on and was raised by Princess Lin's side. It was originally used by Princess Lin to win over her husband in a few years.However, Feng Minglan died early, and Miss Wang's cousin was useless.

Concubine Lin often goes back to her natal home, so she takes Miss Wang's cousin with her.

Lin Wencai married Wei Shikuan, [-]% because of Wei Shikuan's surname.

Wei Shikuan has pretty features, and if you say she is beautiful, she is definitely not as good as Miss Wang's Biao.

In fact, in terms of seniority, Lin Wencai is a generation younger than Miss Wang's Biao, so if she really counts, she should be called a cousin.It's just that Miss Wang's Biao is young, the same age as Wei Shikuan, and two years younger than Lin Wencai.Just young, beautiful and pleasant.

Since the Wei family dared to marry Wei Shikuan into the Wei family, Wei Shikuan's character and ability are not bad.

Before the wedding, her husband had an affair with the Wang family. Although Wei Shikuan was quite disgusted, the head of the Lin family tied Lin Wencai to the ancestral hall and had his flesh and blood bruised, which was regarded as an confession to Wei Shikuan.

Then Princess Yao'an interceded, and since the raw rice was ripe, Wei Shikuan recognized Wang.

At that time, I made it clear that the wives and concubines were superior and inferior, and their identities were clearly defined.

Since the Wang family is a concubine, Wei Shikuan will not exempt her from the rules that should be established.Even if Wang Shikuan was slender and pitiful, Wei Shikuan just followed the rules, even if Lin Wencai was resting in Wang's room, as soon as Wei Shikuan got up, Wang would have to crawl out of bed and go to the main room. serve.Lin Wencai had some criticisms, so Wei Shikuan went to Princess Yao'an and Lin Wencai's mother-in-law Chu to comment.

Wei Shikuan said, "The state owns the state laws, and the family has family rules. As an aunt and concubine, she serves by the side of the main room and establishes rules. Not to mention us, a rich family of officials, even ordinary landlords and rich people, have to have this Pay attention."

"I don't know what to do with Wang's concubine and take the money from the previous cousin?" Wei Shikuan said with a gentle smile, "I also know that the uncle likes her, Wife regards her husband as heaven, uncle likes her, and in the past, I don't care about her. If I can't even establish rules, I really don't know if there is any place for me to stand. "

Princess Yao'an and the Chu family had no choice but to comfort Wei Shikuan in a loud voice, because the Wang family came from Princess Lin's side, so even if they beat her, they must be restrained.

What's more, Mrs. Wang was born slender and graceful, and in the past, others served her.Now as a concubine, she served tea and water in Wei Shikuan's house, opened the curtain and fanned the fan, and fell ill within a few days.Wei Shikuan immediately asked the imperial physician to provide a large bowl of medicinal soup, and sealed the Wang's courtyard tightly. It was difficult for Lin Wencai to take a look.

Wei Shikuan spoke eloquently, with good reasons, "Ms. Wang is sick, be careful and let the uncle get angry."

Lin Wencai was fully prepared before marrying Wei Shikuan, knowing that his wife was from a noble family, and the matter of the Wang family, although she was very fond of it, but fortunately, the Wei family had a heart, and Lin Wencai had comforted Wei Shikuan .

However, after accepting the Wang family, Lin Wencai felt that Wei Shikuan was becoming more and more unkind.He quarreled with Wei Shikuan several times, Wei Shikuan just asked his mother-in-law's elders to comment, Lin Wencai was miserable.

However, no one expected that after Wang's illness recovered, she would have a miscarriage while serving Wei Shikuan.

When Wang cried for her child, she cried over three or five times, and most of them were dead.

Lin Wencai felt sorry for the Wang family and the child, and she didn't know how this matter got to Princess Lin's ears.Mrs. Wang was trained by Concubine Lin alone. Furthermore, Mrs. Wang is very familiar with the maids and nurses beside Concubine Lin.Therefore, Princess Lin felt a little bit dissatisfied with Wei Shikuan when the matter of the Wang family came out.

The dissatisfaction here is not only dissatisfaction with Wei Shikuan, since the Queen Mother Wei married Wei's daughter and Cheng Engong's son, the Lin family and Princess Lin have been full of complaints about the hedging of the Wei family. .

Now that the Wang family has had a miscarriage, Concubine Lin pointed out, "Poor, it's still a boy. When it is born, it will be Wen Cai's eldest son. The elder brother died early, and I don't worry about it, it is Wen Cai and his brothers." After finishing speaking, she was still sad. sigh.

Wei Shikuan got up and said, "I guess it's all my fault. The concubine is pregnant. I don't even know if she doesn't tell me. Now that the grandpa's heirs are damaged, I know I have no talent or virtue, so I voluntarily go to court and beg. "With a blessing, Wei Shikuan ignored the expressions of Concubine Lin and Princess Yao'an, turned around and left.

Although Concubine Lin and Princess Yao'an were half-dead from anger, luckily they were not dizzy.At this juncture, not to mention that the Wang family is just a miscarriage, even if the Wang family is strangled to death by Wei Shikuan, the Lin family cannot lose the Wei family's in-laws.

Concubine Lin was not easy to lose face, Princess Yao'an glanced at her daughter-in-law Chu, who quickly got up to catch up with Wei Shikuan, and said a good word with a smile.However, Wei Shikuan made up his mind and said with a smile, "I haven't been back to my mother's house for a long time. I heard that my mother is not in good health. I just wanted to tell my wife and go back to see my mother. Now there are many idle rooms in my yard. , I can’t take care of uncle when I go back to my mother’s house, and Mrs. Wang is sick again, so I have to ask the concubine to point out a few sisters with outstanding eyebrows and outstanding character to take care of uncle.”

Wei Shikuan went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out to people, but bad things go a long way.

What's more, in such a critical season, countless pairs of eyes are fixed on the Lin family and Princess Lin.

Mrs. Jiang's entry into the palace was nothing more than feeling dissatisfied with what the Lin family had done and came to complain.

Empress Dowager Wei thought, she is still a little impatient and immature.

It's not that Wei Shikuan was at fault for this matter, but Wei Shikuan didn't handle it too well.

Mrs. Jiang sighed, "It was just a trivial matter. I heard that I don't know how to let the outsiders know. If it is shouted out in the court, wouldn't it hurt my face?"

"The old Marquis has always been cautious, and the old general in the family is also strict in managing the family. Now that something like this has happened, I am really ashamed of the wise teachings of the empress dowager." Mrs. Jiang then linked this matter with the reputation of the Yongning Hou Mansion. She didn't believe that Queen Mother Wei could ignore it.

"It's just family affairs, Second Aunt doesn't need to worry about it." The Empress Dowager Wei said, "Even if there is a censor to participate in the performance, it is just a crime of lax family management."

The Empress Dowager Wei's care for the family is actually not obvious, and the rewards given by the royal family to the Marquis of Yongning are also under the Wei family of Cheng'en Gongfu.

Now the emperor has been ill for a long time and cannot manage affairs. Even if the Empress Dowager Wei temporarily takes over the government, if the emperor is in danger, it will be a problem how the Empress Dowager Wei will deal with herself, not to mention the little power in the hands of the Empress Dowager Wei.

Whether it's the emperor's return to the court, or the emperor's grandson ascending the throne.

The decline of the Wei family is a foregone conclusion.

This is the common opinion of most people in the imperial capital, otherwise the Lin family wouldn't be able to make Wei Shikuan look bad.

But the key point is that the Empress Dowager Wei and the Wei family are still in power, and the emperor who has been ill has not died yet.If the Lin family did this, the bridge would be demolished before they crossed the river.

At this time, if the Wei family endured this tone, they would no longer need to be human.

When Mrs. Jiang entered the palace, she was looking for the support of Empress Dowager Wei.

As a result, Queen Mother Wei's attitude, what does it mean to say whether it is cold or not, and whether it is hot or not, Madam Jiang didn't know for a while.On the contrary, Mrs. Yongning Hou knew the Queen Mother better, and said respectfully, "Yes, the mother said so, and the family has a backbone."

Although they are all surnamed Wei, in the next room, Mrs. Yongninghou's eldest son has been studying with her in the palace.Moreover, in the view of Mrs. Yongning Hou, now that the Wei family is in power, even if the emperor's grandson is established, the Wei family can still speak.

Now the Lin family doesn't know what to do, and there is Keli, the young grandson of Prince Rui.

The reason why she accompanied Mrs. Jiang into the palace was nothing more than to tell the Empress Dowager Wei clearly about this, hoping to help the Empress Dowager Wei in the matter of setting up the emperor's grandson.

Seeing how the Lin family behaved like this, the Queen Mother Wei really had to sigh with gratitude to the Wei family.Although the Wei family's heirs are not prosperous, among the brothers, Wei Ning, the father-in-law, is the only one who is smart and capable. Although Wei An is a bit of a dude, he is also a sensible person.

It is not unreasonable for the Wei family to gain a foothold in the elite circle of the imperial capital.

The muddle-headed lawsuit between the Lin family and the Wei family was quickly settled under the attack of the censor's report that the Lin family's curtain book was not repaired, the concubine was spoiled and his wife was destroyed, and the Wei family taught the daughter ineffectively.

Originally, Lin Wencai's top official was taken away, and Wang was found by Wei Kuanshi when she was still in her confinement. She paid 500 taels of silver and married her off from afar.Moreover, the Lin family promised that unless Wei Shikuan's son was born, they would never accept Lin Wen as a concubine.

After watching this big show, Lu An Hou said, "The Lin and Wei families are very knowledgeable." After being demoted, they had the intention to think about their mistakes behind closed doors.Even if he could come out now, with the Marquis's head on his head, Duke Lu An would not like to see anyone.Now the feng shui turns, watching the Wei family's joke once, Lu'anhou Fangjue feels at ease.

Mr. Min Jing laughed, "Compared with Wei Ziyao, the Lin family is far behind. Wei Ziyao is a real person who doesn't show his face, and he who doesn't show his face will take the lead." Damn, Wei Zimin finally got out, and now it seems that Wei Ziyao also Don't wait.The Lin family married the daughter of the Wei family, and Wei Ziyao hooked up with the Marquis of Yongning 800 years ago.

Regardless of Wei Ziyao's reputation, the Wei family really took the lead in the matter of the emperor's grandson becoming the crown prince.As long as the Empress Dowager Wei has no problems with her mind, it is almost self-evident whether she chooses the Lin family with deep roots and Ye Xing who is not taught, or the Wei family with weak children.

Of course, Marquis Lu An and Duke Min Jing were just talking and joking, and from their standpoint, they also tended to be the little grandson of Princess Wei.

Duke Min Jing glanced at Marquis Lu An, "Now is the time to put the matter of setting up the emperor's grandson to the court to talk about it."

Marquis Lu An looked back, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager Wei will not get along well."

"Is it okay to get along with her? She is a girl, so it's better to follow God's will!"
