[052] Meet the old lady
"Yes, no one is stupid, but the old concubine controls Dingbei County Prince's Mansion as well as Tietong, and she also protects Princess Changning very tightly. She has nowhere to start if she wants to. There is no other way, but our family is the only choice.
Regardless of how likely it is, what if it happens? Although I have received quite a lot of favor from the emperor and have good momentum, in the end I am still in a position that is neither up to nor down. There will be more of me in the court, not more, and not less. If I
If we go down, there will still be room available. If we don't go down according to the other party's plan, we will only be the one who falls. What does it matter?"
After all, the Han family is just a woman. No matter how capable she is, she will be flustered when encountering this kind of thing.
"Then what should we do now? Isn't it a good idea to let Xuan'er hold the things?"
"Everything is just speculation now. Don't mess up the situation first. The thing is true, and clues will soon be revealed. Then we will do whatever we want. It is a blessing, not a curse, and we cannot avoid it. Or maybe, as you think, follow us
What about the son-in-law whom I had no chance to meet? Xuan'er took it and left it with her. If it was a frame-up, it would be the same in anyone's hands as long as it was in someone else's house. Now that I have told her too much, it is no use worrying her.
."
"I hope it won't be a disaster, otherwise Xuan'er will go home and not enjoy any benefits. She will be burdened by her family first."
Wenren Taibo hugged Mr. Han and said, "My dear, don't worry too much."
After all, Mrs. Han is not a delicate flower. She can survive the storm. "Then do you want to go see the old concubine?"
"Why not? Do whatever you have to do."
"I see."
Xiaocao felt uneasy, not knowing that her parents were in even more trouble.
That night, it can be said that I didn't sleep well at all.
Early the next morning, Wenren Taibo left home early because of the palace examination. Since he ascended the throne today, he has personally drafted the questions for every palace examination. Before he speaks, no one will know what the palace examination will be, which saves the ministers.
some things about us.
However, Emperor Xuanren did not show up for today's palace examination. He just drafted the questions and sent them over. In addition, several important officials in the court also did not show up. Obviously there were some big things to deal with. Although the candidates felt regretful, they
, without a big boss in charge, the pressure is much less, and for most people, they may be able to perform better.
On the other side, Mrs. Han wrote a post and sent it to the Dingbei County Prince's Mansion. No one visited the Dingbei County Prince's Mansion on a daily basis, and the concierge was also familiar with the people in the family. Therefore, the post was quickly handed over to the old concubine.
This person is elderly. There are only a few people who don't like the excitement like Mrs. Wenren. Most people like to be surrounded by laughter and children and grandchildren. The old lady is definitely the latter. However, compared with the old lady, Mrs. Wenren
Come on, the former has many children and grandchildren. Even if he comes here occasionally, he will not feel lonely. If he sees too much, he will feel noisy and annoying. But the latter has a granddaughter under his knees. Even if he is always in front of him, he will still be deserted. This is no longer in front of him.
, and my heart felt even more empty.
Therefore, the old concubine envied the old lady Wenren from the bottom of her heart. When the old concubine accidentally learned that the other party did not like the junior coming to her, she immediately became sour and turned into lemon juice. She couldn't even ask for it, but the other party actually disliked her?
However, the old concubine was dignified and cold, and she would never show it on her face if she had any thoughts.
She quickly replied to Han's post, and she could come to her door at any time. In fact, she had been waiting since she found out that Han's daughter, who was living abroad and had no idea whether she was alive or dead, was found.
In the afternoon, I went to Dingbei County Prince's Mansion. Because I brought Xiaocao to visit the old concubine, I didn't want to bring anyone else with me. However, Wen Renying wanted to go with her. The Han family had always been quite indulgent towards her, so she agreed to bring her with her.
she.
Because of her special status in the family, Princess Changning has almost no close friends in her boudoir. Although the girl’s friends have little influence on the family, those families have many thoughts, so those girls have no intention of dating her.
She was not so pure. Once she was even tempted to meet her foreign man, but the old lady took action decisively.
Originally, she and Wen Renying were close in age, and their families had a good relationship, so they should have been extremely close. However, the difference in temperament between the two was a bit big, and they only had a good relationship. Therefore, life in the boudoir of Princess Changning
You can see how lonely it is.
"I wonder what kind of temperament this sister from Wen family has?" Princess Changning sat next to the old concubine. The quiet and beautiful girl's eyes were bright at this time, with a little expectation and a little excitement.
"You will know when you meet the person." How could the old concubine not know what her granddaughter's state of mind is now? She feels distressed just because she knows it, but there is no way. The Dingbei County Prince's Palace looks like flowers and brocade, and the fire is cooking oil, but it is
One careless move may lead to the destruction of the whole family. I am a sage king with a very high reputation among the people. No military commander can achieve the level of meritorious deeds in any way. And even if he achieves it, with my magnanimity, at most
It is only weakened, not to the point where it cannot be tolerated. However, forming cliques for personal gain is a taboo for those in power at any time. The Dingbei County Prince’s Palace does not want to fall into the trap, and there are people who are trying every possible means to drag them into the trap, so they have to be cautious and cautious.
When the people who heard the news arrived, they greeted the old lady and said hello.
The old concubine's eyes fell on Xiaocao. She had fought with her husband on the battlefield and had been in a high position for many years. The queen mother in the harem was always polite and courteous. Now she also respects her very much and is very majestic. When she deliberately looks at a person.
, very oppressive.
Even though Xiaocao was very nervous, she was a little nervous at the moment.
However, when the old concubine looked at Xiao Cao, who was dignified and generous, with slightly narrowed eyes, she was a little surprised. To be honest, there were not many juniors (including Xiao Cao's father) who could do this to her eyes.
, even those who have been immersed in the officialdom for more than ten years can't help but be cautious and nervous. Because the old lady is upright and hates evil as much as she hates evil, she has developed a pair of sharp eyes through decades of turmoil, and people's hearts seem to be under her gaze.
There is no way to hide. If there is something wrong in your heart, you will not be so confident.
Young people who are neither humble nor arrogant in front of her are not only courageous, but also open-minded and free of haze. Of course, there are also people who have developed the ability to remain calm at a young age. Obviously, this girl is not one of them.
This is very rare. "She is a good girl, and you know that other people's children are good."
Ms. Han was a little nervous at first, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you, old concubine."
"You don't need to be too modest. You have done a good job over the years and the children have been taught well."
Not many people can be praised by the old concubine, but Han is really happy.
The old concubine brought the meeting gift prepared for Xiaocao. It was not very expensive, but it was something very meaningful.
Xiaocao has been a little numb after receiving gifts these past two days, but she is still quite solemn.
But as soon as he sat down, a servant came to announce that someone from the palace was here.
When the old concubine saw that he was the powerful eunuch beside Emperor Xuanren, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little bad.
Chapter completed!
