Chapter 8 Taking a long-term view
Given the situation of Wen Yan at this time, it is not easy to deliver the letter to the Shen Palace by hand.
But you can't tell Mrs. Gui this.
Whether to give a gift from a warm banquet or not, it would not be able to reach it. The old lady would not know anyway, so she nodded and agreed.
Of course, Mrs. Gui's move was not simply a reminder of Wen Yan. She wanted a reassurance even more - is the relationship between Wen Yan and Huo Yixiao really as Wen Yan said, and she had already remembered it in Concubine Huo's heart, and she would only wait two years later to discuss the marriage.
Mrs. Gui waited for a while, but only waited for Wen Yan to nod, but without further explanation, she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
She didn't believe Wen Yan didn't understand. The little girl looked soft and well-behaved, and she understood in her heart.
Otherwise, if you can say a few words, Wen Huiyan will obey?
Mrs. Gui blamed Wen Yan for not being up to the point, so she had to make it clear: "What kind of person is that person? Tell me carefully to my grandmother?"
"Who?" Wen Yan pretended not to understand, and before Mrs. Gui named her, she suddenly realized, "Grandma, are you asking the princess."
Mrs. Gui raised her throat in one breath, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"You know, Princess Cheng'an is the same year as me," said Wen Yan. "In the year when the princess was born, the emperor was appointed as the princess by the late emperor. The emperor regarded the princess as Furui and was very pampered. The princess loves to laugh and has a good temperament. I have been with her for five years and is very kind."
Mrs. Gui listened with a smile, and there was no trace of force in her smile: "That's good, that's good, let's talk to her grandmother again?"
Wen Yan pissed the old lady's appetite and understood that too much was not enough, so she said something that Mrs. Gui wanted to hear.
The emperor's biological mother was Han Xuanshi, who was extremely ordinary in the harem of the late emperor Fengping. Therefore, after the emperor was born, he was taken to Concubine Huo to raise him.
Compared to her biological mother, the emperor has a deeper relationship with Concubine Huo.
In the 38th and 41st year of Emperor Fengping, Empress Shen, two sons of Empress Shen in the Central Palace died of illness one after another, leaving only one daughter. Shen had no more parent-child and had to support other princes in the dispute over the throne.
Empress Shen chose the current emperor.
The two helped each other, Empress Shen helped the emperor become the crown prince and ascended the great treasure again, and the emperor allowed the Shen family to advance one step further.
"The year I entered the palace, the Empress Dowager was already seriously ill. The Emperor would go to greet the Empress Dowager on the first day of the month and the fifteenth day of the month. Once, I heard the princess mention it and said that the emperor and the Empress Dowager had a quarrel for some reason, and the quarrel was very unhappy...
I happened to hear two old nannies talking, and mentioned that the emperor did not like the Empress of the Central Palace and the Empress De, because these two were chosen by the Empress Dowager when the Emperor had not yet become the crown prince.
The emperor and Concubine Huo have a very good relationship. Regardless of whether they are busy or not, they will definitely give their congratulations to Concubine every three days..."
Wen Yan spoke quickly and calmly, which also left a lot of time for Mrs. Gui to think.
Wen Yan knew about the old palace events, but they should not be known to "Wen Yan now". Therefore, she could not say it explicitly, and could only lead Mrs. Gui's thoughts to those.
Mrs. Gui's idea was indeed called by Wen Yan to take it away.
In addition to things that everyone knows, Wen Yan's statement confirmed some of her previous speculations, such as the relationship between the emperor and the Shen family and the Huo family.
The three "mothers" have different statuses to the emperor.
Han Xuanshi left early, and the emperor posthumously conferred his title after he ascended the throne. His regrets and nostalgia could only be expressed by adding posthumous titles and adding them;
Empress Chen became Empress Chen, and the emperor was awe-inspiring and dissatisfied with her. His success was the help of Shen and the control and control of Shen. Although Empress Chen had passed away, he could not easily remove the donkey and touch the foundation of the Shen family;
Concubine Huo is the most respected by the emperor, and the Huo family is also deeply trusted by the emperor. Huo Yixiao grew up as a child of the Huo family, which is enough to show how strong this trust is.
The emperor treats Concubine Huo like a child treats his mother, but is not a mother and son connected by blood. Judging from Mrs. Gui's experience, under such a relationship, Concubine Huo will not ask the emperor for whatever he wants, but once he speaks, the emperor will not refuse perfunctorily.
This is Wen Yan's heart. With the emperor's respect for Concubine Huo and his preference for Concubine Huo, as long as Concubine Huo supports, the marriage will be accomplished.
Wen Yan saw that Mrs. Gui was thinking and said, "Although I don't know who Huo Yixiao's biological mother is, I know that his biological mother was secretly sent to the Huo family for childbirth during pregnancy, all because of the Empress Dowager Shen.
When the Empress Dowager passed away, the emperor turned around and took Huo Yixiao back to the palace as a prince.
Don’t like the Shen family, Huo Yixiao.”
Mrs. Gui rolled her eyes.
Calculate the years, Huo Yixiao's biological mother was pregnant after Empress Dowager Shen sent the current Empress and Concubine De to the emperor.
In other words, Shen arranged two people, but asked another woman to emerge.
If she were Empress Dowager Chen, she wouldn't want to keep this woman.
The emperor and Concubine Huo wanted to protect him and sent the person away, so this matter made sense.
Mrs. Gui straightened it out and sat up straight: "The remaining daughter of the Empress Dowager is Princess Yongshou, right?"
Wen Yan said: "Yes."
Even though Mrs. Gui is good at not showing her emotions, her expression is extremely complicated for a moment.
She suppressed her emotions and said, "Grandma is tired, Sister Yan will go back first."
After Wen Yan left, Mrs. Gui's face collapsed and she pounded the pillow heavily.
No wonder, no wonder Concubine Huo didn't mind the charges of the Xia family and Wen Yan's parents, because she didn't like the powerful Empress Dowager Chen and the Shen family. The person who had severely suffered the face of Princess Yongshou in the capital was not the eldest son of their Wen family, Wen Yan's father Wen Ziliang?
Wen Ziliang was once the pride of Mrs. Gui. He was very knowledgeable in terms of talent; he was as good as Pan An in terms of appearance; he was as handsome as Pan An; he was as handsome as a gentle person in terms of character and character.
Even if the husband died early, the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion had already come to an end. With such a son, Mrs. Gui's chin could be raised to the sky.
Wen Ziliang went to the imperial examination and became an official, and was appointed as the sect of the Taifu Xia. At that time, it was the reign of the late emperor. During the palace examination, he not only received the praise of the late emperor, but also the heart of Princess Yongshou.
Princess Yongshou wanted to recruit Wen Ziliang as her son-in-law.
Mrs. Gui was ecstatic. The marriage was completed. Wen Ziliang not only soared into the sky, but also allowed his two younger brothers to lose less stumbling after entering the officialdom.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ziliang refused to agree. Even if Shen, who was still the queen at that time, was on the condition that he would "renew" the Wen family's title later, Wen Ziliang was still unwilling to do so.
Far away in Lin'an City, Mrs. Gui, who was one step late in everything, was almost angry to death by this straightforward son!
Princess Yongshou failed to pursue Wen Ziliang, so she made a big joke, hoping that the late emperor would remove the title of the marquis' mansion in advance. Thanks to the late emperor's reputation, this matter was considered over.
But Mrs. Gui couldn't get over it. The title she was longing for, and she was determined to live for a long time, which means she would have been more secure for a few years, but her son pushed out the "long-term" one.
Later, Wen Ziliang married the second daughter of Taifu Xia. Although it was also a good marriage, he was still far behind the royal princess who was within reach at that time.
So much so that Mrs. Gui saw that Xia’s eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not nose.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law lives in Lin'an and my daughter-in-law is in the capital, separated by two places. I only meet when I visit relatives, so I can be considered as having peace.
Mrs. Gui’s dislike of Wen Yan’s siblings also comes from this.
Last year, when the Xia family was in trouble, Wen Ziliang and his wife broke it in it. Mrs. Gui could guess that there must be Shen's injustice.
After the incident, Concubine Huo still agreed with this marriage. Perhaps Huo Yixiao liked Wen Yan, and secondly, he could use Wen Yan's existence to make the Shen family face, kill two birds and four birds that Mrs. Gui still didn't know. Isn't this what those powerful figures are most good at?
Thinking about this, Mrs. Gui is mixed with all kinds of emotions.
Wen Yan’s marriage cannot be ruined. It is a good thing that she can beat Mrs. Shunpingbo back to the humiliation today.
But then again, if Wen Ziliang had not rejected the eldest princess back then, the title of Ding'an Marquis' Mansion could last for a long time, how could she be angry with Shunping Bo’s Mansion now!
The origins of three daughters-in-law are worse than those of the other.
The granddaughter's marriage was full of difficulties and he suffered a cold face.
When I tell my grandchildren about marriage...
Mrs. Gui took a deep breath and couldn't help comforting herself. The Shen family looked at the scenery, but the Huo family had no bright future. When Wen Ziliang became the eldest princess's son-in-law, when Shen family was in trouble, their Wen family would be implicated.
And as long as the matter between Wen Yan and Huo Yixiao is completed, will the rest of the brothers and sisters still be a problem?
