Sweet Beauty Chapter 67: After marriage

These days, Xiang Yilan and Xiang Yiwei have been living in the palace, and don't know anything about things outside the palace. At this time, seeing this change, I was immediately stunned.

Xiang Yilan heard Jiang Yu's proposal to marry Rong Jingshu and then rejected the marriage directly. His face was on fire, his brain "buzzed", and when he heard the accusation about his grandfather, the blood all over his body As if being pulled away, he could barely keep himself from fainting by holding on to the armrest of the chair.

Emperor Jing Yuan looked at Concubine Xiang, frowned and said, "Huaizhi is just telling the truth, what are you doing, no matter if it is true or not, the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple will be responsible for investigating these matters. Marriage is a major event, but it is not at all sloppy. Huaizhi's request to marry the person whose mother and concubine agrees is his filial piety, so you don't have to cry like this at the Mid-Autumn Festival and the mother's birthday banquet."

The Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed and said: "Since the imperial concubine is not feeling well, let's go back to the palace to rest. Huaizhi's marriage, in fact, the Aijia has received a letter from the Princess of Shu a few days ago, asking for Huaizhi to marry the Rong family. Girl, the truth is that this girl is the one she has seen since she was a child, and she is most familiar with it. Aijia was hesitant at first, feeling that the official position of the Rong family was low and wronged Huaizhi. Now that Huaizhi is willing, His Majesty also feels that his temperament matches. , that would be better."

"These are not related to any court affairs. You are His Majesty's noble concubine, and you help the queen to manage the harem. When you know that the harem is not allowed to do politics, why are you so out of touch today?"

After hearing this, Concubine Xiang felt as if she had been slapped with a slap, and the words she had thought about were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it anymore...

The impeachment of her father happened just a few days ago. She hasn't summoned her family to the palace these days. How could she know this so clearly in the harem? Thinking about it is a sin...

Furthermore, Jiang Yu has already sternly refused to marry, and it is useless to say more, it is just self-inflicted humiliation.

She turned her head to look at Empress Hua subconsciously. The two looked at each other. Empress Hua frowned slightly, her face full of surprise and disapproval, but in her eyes, Concubine Xiang clearly saw the sneer and arrogance. proud.

Xiang Guifei's fingernails pierced into the palm of her hand. She hated her heart so much, but she woke up. She bowed her head, knelt down and cried to Empress Dowager Zhuang and Her Majesty, "The concubine knows it's wrong. It was the concubine who heard the third son. She refused to marry Lan Er on the grounds of her father's trumped-up accusations, and she was frightened for a while, so she lost her sense of proportion.

Emperor Jing Yuan stared at her for a moment with a sullen face, and then said in a cold voice: "If that's the case, then you should follow what your mother said, and go back to the palace to rest first, and you don't have to attend today's dinner. "

Xiang Guifei's eyes lit up again, she forcibly endured the humiliation in her heart, answered "No", got up and left with her maid bowing her head.

Rao is Xiang Yilan and Sister Yiwei who have been well-bred on weekdays, but at this time, she was pale, scared, ashamed, and anxious, and she was trembling all over but she didn't know what to do.

But it seems that everyone has forgotten the two of them. After the trouble with Concubine Xiang Gui just now, Empress Dowager Zhuang seems to have lost interest in this beautiful girl, bestowing marriage, and so on. Continuing to preside over the palace banquet, Emperor Jing Yuan personally supported him back to the Cishou Palace.

The empress dowager and the emperor all left the table, and the three princes and sons resigned. The queen was in a good mood for these new and beautiful women, and it didn't take long to announce the dismissal of the table.

When the empresses left, the female officer in charge came to arrange for the beautiful girls to return to their residences to pack up and send them out of the palace.

In this palace, everyone's words and deeds are noticed, and when they turn around, they may reach the ears of His Majesty and the ladies of each palace. Even if everyone has their own thoughts, they dare not reveal the slightest bit, and they all treat each other with trepidation. After Gong Niangniang and several princes of the domain left, they got up and left with the female official in charge.

But it doesn't include Huayu Rong, because Jiang Jue's answer did not suit her heart, and she was not in good spirits, and the past ten days were really not a good life. She saw the old enemy Xiang Yilan Xiang Yi Sister Wei's embarrassed appearance made her heart feel more relaxed.

She snorted coldly, and when she walked in front of them, she sneered in a low voice, "If you want to learn to do things, you must learn to be a person first, so that the daughter who is taught by others doesn't know where the face comes from and wants to teach others. Do your part well, huh! Let's think about your part first!"

Xiang Yilan was embarrassed and angry, tears welling in his eyes, Xiang Yiwei couldn't help but wanted to pounce, but was held down by Xiang Yilan.

Hua Yurong looked at the two of them with a snort, turned away without bothering, and snorted again when she passed Jingshu, muttering a "demon girl" in a voice that can only be heard close by, and then raised her voice. went.

Jing Shu didn't feel anything about being so provocative to Hua Yurong, but Liang Mengru, who was beside her, laughed out loud, and whispered to Jing Shu: "Miss Rong, you don't have to know her in general, she This is a loss of face, a bad mood, jealousy and hatred for you."

Jing Shu shook her head and said with a smile: "How could I care about these verbal disputes with her, don't worry, if you want to care, I will fight back, such an innocuous little thing, I will never embarrass myself in my heart. "

Liang Mengru thought to herself, it really was the person who was the one from the King of Shu family, how could she only be beautiful, but she stopped talking, just nodded with a smile, and followed the female officer in charge who came over to leave.

The beautiful girls left, and at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet where Emperor Jing Yuan held a banquet for officials of the third rank and above, as well as nobles from the clan, Emperor Jing Yuan directly announced that he would confer the marriage of the third lady of Chengen Gongfu, Hua Shiyu Rong, to the fifth son of King Kang. Jiang Jue, Cui Shiyuexi, the granddaughter of Cui Zhe, the minister of rites, and Jiang Lian, the second son of the King of Fujian, and Rongshijingshu, the daughter of Rongqian, the minister of labor, were in Jiang Yu, the third son of the king of Shu.

At the same time, Emperor Jing Yuan also specially said that although Rong Qian, the minister of industry, was a descendant of General Rong Rong's mansion in the previous dynasty, he was a subject of Da Zhou. There is nothing wrong with benefiting the people. As for his recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestry after learning his identity, the Rong family had a great life-saving grace to the whole Bai family, and they entrusted their youngest son to the Bai family in troubled times.

His Majesty said that there is no unfilial piety in Rong Langzhong, that is, there is no unfilial piety, so the next day, the Ministry of Industry sent Rong Langzhong to return to the yamen to continue to serve. Not long after this matter, Tian Zhengqi, Minister of Works, wrote a book to ask for an official post on the grounds of being "old and infirm", but His Majesty didn't hold back much. With a stroke of the pen, it was confirmed.

At the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, Emperor Jing Yuan only announced the marriage of the prince of the vassal, without mentioning the concubine, but the response of the concubine was definitely no less than the marriage of the prince of the vassal.

Because on the second day, everyone knew that His Majesty had enshrined Liang Mengru, the granddaughter of Liang Shoufu's family, as the second-rank Zhaorong, the granddaughter of the Hou family of Ningping as the beauty of the fifth-rank, and the daughter of the prefect of another place, Liu Shi, as the follower The noble of the fifth grade.

Although there are only three people in the draft harem, one of them is the granddaughter of His Majesty's confidant, Shoufu, and Zhao Rong, who was canonized as a second-grade person as soon as he entered the palace.

Contacting the incident of Concubine Xiang's father Anxi Hou being involved in the court, one cannot help but feel that the pattern of the harem is about to change, and if Liang Zhaorong has a child, it is definitely not the child of an ordinary concubine. fostered.

So the passive situation of the Hua family can be imagined. Therefore, Xiangzheng, the Marquis of Anxi and the minister of officials, was involved. The person sat in the position of the Anxi Hou family, and began to worry about the position of the prince.

It is not difficult to detect the secret actions of the Hua family to Xiang Jia, and the fact that the Marquis of Anxi was involved is indeed related to the fact that the in-law of the Hua family, Anxi Marquis, used to be a subordinate to the military. It was completely recorded in the Hua family, and he hated the Hua family very much. When he took a breather, he started to fight back fiercely.

Let's talk about returning to Rong's house, although Master Rong Er knew the result long ago, but Master Rong Er received his Majesty's imperial decree for his daughter's marriage and the Mid-Autumn Moon cake specially presented by the palace. Master Rong Er was still so excited that his eyes were wet. It's because these days are so bad, right? His heart was still hanging before the marriage decree came down. His little daughter's marriage was decided, and his heart was also fixed.

As long as the youngest daughter successfully marries into the Shu Palace, other matters will be solved, such as the marriage of the eldest daughter, those false rumors about the youngest daughter, her official position, etc. Unconsciously, Master Rong Er also began to have blind trust in his future son-in-law...

As expected by Mr. Rong Er, Rong Jingyu's marriage did take a turn for the worse.

Not to mention that when Jingshu was still in the palace a few days ago, the old man of the Yun family personally came to the house for his son in the Changshan camp to ask for the marriage of Rong Jingyu. The Rong family was at a low point, but although the second master Rong had a good impression of Yun Zheng, he was still a lot more cautious after his daughter was divorced several times.

He has probably realized that his own vision for his son-in-law is still not good enough. It is related to his daughter's life. He still has to wait for his wife to return to Beijing and ask her to help the staff and staff to see each other. .

Master Rong Er was still in the joy of his youngest daughter being married. He thought of such a big event, and he naturally told his wife to share it with him, and there must be many affairs in the family that need to be handled by his wife. A letter was sent to Mrs. Chen, who was still in the middle of Shu. If her body allowed her, she hired a guard to send her and her son Yuan Geer back to Beijing as soon as possible.

At the same time, he asked his wife to take the daughter's dowry back to the capital by the way. After returning, she would continue to buy her daughter's dowry. After all, she was married to the palace, and she must not let her daughter's dowry be thin.

Of course, this time he was too embarrassed to mention the eldest daughter's dowry, but his wife was virtuous, he knew that he didn't mention it. Now that he has returned to the ancestry and changed his surname to Rong, there are no elders in the family, and the eldest daughter's wife will also decide will handle.

At this time, although he didn't want to admit it, he was still very fortunate that he had left the White Mansion. And it is obvious that when he returned to Beijing before, his wife had already given him to the Bai family, and no longer gave him control...

In short, Mr. Rong Er was very busy after receiving His Majesty's imperial decree for marriage, especially when he returned to the Ministry of Industry and started to work the next day.

What Mr. Rong never imagined was that not long after the marriage was granted, the eldest daughter's ex-fiancé, the Zheng family, came to the door.

The third master of the Zheng family, Zheng Han, who served as the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, came to apologize in person, and sincerely expressed his desire to resume the engagement.

Master Zheng San said earnestly: "Brother Qian, we have been classmates for several years and have known each other for decades. You should know that my younger brother is not that kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich or clings to the powerful. Rumors, I believed the absurd and unfilial saying, so I forced my wife to take the Geng Tie token and broke off the engagement with Brother Qian privately when my younger brother was not in Beijing... You don't know, for this reason, the dog is at home It's also been unhappy."

"Now that Brother Qian's stigma has been resolved, my old lady has no reason to object to this marriage, so the younger brother came over with a thick face to ask if Brother Qian could renew the marriage contract between Xiao Er and Ling Ai..."

Master Rong Er's face is ugly. If he was in the past, he might have believed these words a little bit. Who told him that there was such a domineering old lady in his family?

But now he didn't sweep Master Zheng San out of the house because he cared about his elegant image.

What the old lady of the Zheng family said about breaking the marriage contract was what the old lady of the Zheng family meant. Before the youngest daughter was given the marriage and His Majesty personally rectified her name, she had never even met her friend who had been with her for decades, and had no explanation. So I sent my servants to force my family to revoke the marriage...

Even if it's all Mrs. Zheng's intentions, with such a grandmother, will her daughter have a better life in the future when she gets married?

Thinking of the eldest daughter's face and smiling face in those days, Master Rong Er was angry, and he didn't want to say more to Master Zheng San, but said: "A promise of a gentleman is worth as much as a thousand pieces of gold. This marriage contract is about , how can it be like a child's play if you say that you will retreat, and if you continue, you will continue?"

Then, regardless of Mr. Zheng San's ashamed and sincere appearance, he directly called the servant to see off the guest.

Let's say that Mr. Zheng San was invited by the servant to be sent out of the living room, and unexpectedly saw Rong Jingyu.

Rong Jingyu stood quietly in the corridor and looked at him with indifferent eyes and a half-smile expression.

Master Zheng San solemnized his face, put on a sincere look again, and said, "My dear niece, the divorce is really a misunderstanding, it's all because my old lady misheard the rumors... Aye, Aye He's been having a hard time over this matter these days..."

"It's very difficult?" Rong Jingyu said with a half-smile, "Isn't he very comfortable because he broke off the engagement? Finally, he doesn't have to coax his uncle and grandmother's cousin every day to beg her to be happy. This time, he Then you can marry her seriously, instead of secretly thinking about how to coax her into a concubine..."

Looking at Master Zheng San's disbelief and sudden change of face, Rong Jingyu continued with a sarcastic smile, "What? Could it be that your family still dislikes that cousin's family background? Anyway, it's the old lady who has the final say. , can't her own mother's family dislike it?"

This matter was when Jing Shu saw that she was unhappy and unhappy that she was divorced from her relatives, and she was investigated and told her that it was this kind of person. Gao Xiang, so as not to let my sister fall into the fire pit by mistake....

Master Zheng San's lips trembled, wanting to explain and reprimand, just after saying "Nice niece, where did you hear this...", when he heard a clear voice calling "sister" diagonally behind , interrupted him.

While he was stunned, Rong Jingyu gave him a slight nod, then turned around without hesitation and walked towards the place where the sound was made. Only Mr. Zheng San stood still, watching the two sisters from afar The figure disappeared, embarrassed and angry, or the servant of the second master on the side reminded him several times before he woke up, and then left in a hurry.

Let's say that Mr. Rong Er is still in the wrath of Mr. Zheng San's visit, just thinking about how there are such shameless people in this world....

On the second day of this incident, Mrs. Bai came to visit in person. What Mr. Rong could never have imagined was that Mrs. Bai came to visit this time for his eldest daughter's marriage.
