After hearing this message, Empress Dowager Hui'an did not look gloating. She just fed her daughter to eat while asking calmly: "What's the specific situation? Fan, be good, open her mouth wide-"

Ji Zishan sat cross-legged on the couch, shaking her fat arms that were as soft as lotus roots. At the same time, she opened her mouth and responded obediently to Empress Dowager Hui'an: "Ah--" Brother Yuanbao always had to come like this before feeding her to eat, which made her develop the habit of reacting.

"So good." Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled slightly and stuffed a small spoon into her little daughter's mouth.

In the atmosphere of taking care of the little master, Madam Biyun reported the news outside the palace and said softly that she knew with her master that Ji Zishan, who was the little master, naturally heard it. It turned out that the eldest girl from the Wu family of Fujinhou Mansion had been talking about marriage, marriage proposal, name-question, and literary rituals with the young master of the Taipu Temple Shaoqing. Before the ceremony was about to be entrusted, the late emperor passed away without warning.

When a king passes away, all officials and families with titles must be mourned for one year. During this period, no banquets or marriages are allowed.

In this way, the marriage between the Wu family and the Lu family can only be put on hold for the time being.

After going abroad for a year later, the Wu family was waiting for the Lu family to come and get a job, so that the marriage ceremony would be officially completed. Unexpectedly, when waiting around, the Lu family came to get a job. After the Wu family realized something was wrong, they came to ask what was going on. The official statement given by the Lu family was that the Lu family's son was not a fool this year. When the Wu family ruthlessly said, he realized that the Lu family of this turtle and regretted the marriage!

"Depending on the situation, the Lu family has made up their minds to quit this marriage." Madam Biyun pursed her lips and said in a slight contempt and disdain, "The eldest girl of the Wu family is already seventeen years old. The young master of the Lu family can afford to waste. That girl Wu can't afford to wait." Who knows what will happen to the young master of the Lu family in another year? "The Lu family is also a bad family style. She doesn't want to take the reputation of voluntarily quitting the marriage, so she wastes the girl like this."

Empress Dowager Hui'an gently stirred the fish soup in the bowl and asked, "Is the Wu family so easy to suffer a loss?"

"How can it be?" Madam Biyun raised her soft veil and smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth. "The Wu family didn't get a correct statement, so she turned her back on the spot and said she wanted to find the palace to make the decision." The Wu family's reliance in the palace was the Concubine Wu and the second prince Ji Ziming, but the mother and son had no power and the other had no power. In the end, this matter would definitely extend to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. "Would the Empress have to make the decision for the Wu family...?"

The corner of Empress Dowager Hui'an's mouth curled up slightly, "If Concubine De mentioned this, the Ai family will make the decision with the Wu family. If she doesn't mention it, then it will be fine." As she said that, she scooped up a spoonful of warm fish soup and sent it to her little daughter's mouth, coaxing, "Fan, come and have another bite."

Ji Zishan let out a whimper and swallowed the light and fragrant fish soup, but she was a little puzzled.

The Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is just a fourth-rank official position, while the Fujin Hou Mansion is a second-class marquis. Ji Zishan was very surprised. How unbearable is this big girl from the Wu family, or how talented the young master of the Lu family is? How come the two families with a big status gap are connected? Moreover, it seems that the Wu family is still disliked now. Is there anything inside that she doesn't know?

The inside story is naturally getting bigger.

When the old Empress Wu was still alive, the Wu family in the Fujinhou Mansion was truly glorious and well-known. However, when the old Empress Wu passed away, the Wu family's status in the circle of nobles instantly plummeted. Logically speaking, even if the old Empress Wu passed away, the Wu family still had Concubine De, who was born in the Fujinhou Mansion, and the second prince she had born into. However, these two future backers offended the queen and prince at that time.

Just imagine, which family with a noble family will marry a martial family that has offended the future emperor.

Furthermore, even if we don’t mention the grudges and hatreds of the palace, just talking about the family style and family background of the Wu family, to put it bluntly, the title of the Wu family’s Marquis’s mansion is actually an empty air, and the power that can be used to play is really negligible. There is no need for a real wealthy family to marry the Wu family, and they also have to take the risk of liquidating the new emperor in the future. If they can’t eat mutton, they will be flirting with it. Only those with a funny mind will do such a stupid thing.

In that case, families who are willing to marry Fu Jinhou Mansion are either down-and-out clans with glamorous appearances and unbearable inner selfs, or ordinary portals who want to take advantage of the opportunity to get to power.

Mr. Lu, the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, belongs to the latter category.

When he wanted to marry the Wu family, Mr. Lu carefully considered it. Although the old Empress Wu was gone, the Wu family was still the emperor's uncle's family. Even if the emperor did not value his uncle's family very much, he would not allow the Wu family to decline completely. It always depends on the deceased mother and take care of it. This is one of them.

Secondly, there are unexpected situations in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune at any time. Although the queen is loved by the emperor and the prince is also very popular with the emperor, who can guarantee that the queen and the prince can always win the holy heart. If there is any mistake in doing things in the future, Concubine De and the second prince will be completely likely to rise to power. What's more, the emperor at that time was strong and healthy, and in full bloom, everything was really possible.

Third, even if the prince really inherits the throne in the future, it will be many years later. If he can take advantage of the Wu family to seek some benefits over the years, it will naturally be wonderful. As long as he notices that the new emperor has a tendency to liquidate the Wu family's in-laws, his family will quickly cut off the marriage with the Wu family, and he will not be implicated too much. In his family, there are more cannon fodders.

After thinking about it, Mr. Lu always felt that it was feasible, so he made up his mind to marry the Wu family. After all, wealth and honor are in danger.

Unexpectedly, when he beat Mr. Lu to death, what he could not have expected was that he had just joined Xiaoding with the Wu family, Emperor Xuanren... He suddenly died.

Mr. Lu was stunned.

After being stunned, Mr. Lu guessed the new emperor's heart.

As the prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely deal with the mother and son of Concubine De who has been against him. Mr. Lu also knows the will of the last emperor to take care of Concubine De and son of Concubine De. He thought to himself that with the last emperor's will, the new emperor will not be too quick and have nothing to do, but he cannot exclaim his anger. The new emperor must be unhappy, right...

Therefore, Mr. Lu decided to let out a rant for the new emperor. First, he could cut off his marriage with the Wu family and not be suspicious or rolled his eyes from the new emperor. Second, he could also be considered a slap in the new emperor's fart. If the new emperor was comfortable being flattered by him, then it would be no problem to be promoted to the new emperor...

Mr. Lu, who had already made a decision, pretended not to marry the Wu family. His family was a son, and it was no big deal to get married two or three years later. The girl from the Wu family was not good. She was seventeen years old this year, and she would become an old girl after waiting for two or three years. If the Wu family couldn't afford to wait, she would naturally mention the matter of resigning from marriage first. In this way, his family would not have to bear the reputation of resigning from marriage.

Mr. Lu felt that he was so wise.

As for the threat of the Wu family to complain to the palace, Mr. Lu did not take it seriously. He did not expressly say that he would retire from the marriage and regret the marriage. It was because his son was destined to be Tai Sui this year, so it was not appropriate to get married, otherwise there would be a bloody disaster. Even if the Empress Dowager and His Majesty really interfered, his family would have an impeccable and perfect excuse. Besides, will the Empress Dowager and His Majesty decide for the Wu family? If you don’t take any harm, the Wu family should burn the incense.

So, Mr. Lu is now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Given the information Ji Zishan has now absorbed, he naturally does not know the reason for this series of accidents.

But there is one thing she understands very well. Her empress dowager's mother and Jin Dattie's biological brother really don't like Concubine De, who was born in Fujinhou Mansion, and Ji Ziming, the second brother born to Concubine De.

"Fan, I'm full, can I take two steps?" Empress Dowager Hui'an handed the soup bowl with fish soup, poked the young girl's face with a smile, and tried to make her stand up and learn to walk. By next month, the little girl will be one year old. Whether it's talking or walking, she should look a little bit small.

Ji Zishan fell down, rolled around and shouted, "Brother..."

Empress Dowager Hui'an reached out to poke the little girl's belly and smiled and said, "Your brother Yuanbao is writing next door. When he finishes writing, he will come back to play with you." Since the little girl was born, her little son has been lying beside her cradles almost every day, looking at a small ball of powder and meat, growing into a lively and cute little baby girl day by day. The little daughter is also very close to her little son because she can see her little son every day.

The relationship between the brother and sister is harmonious, and Empress Dowager Hui'an is naturally happy to see it. She reached out to pick up the little girl who was rolling on the couch. Empress Dowager Hui'an coaxed her: "Okay, fan it, take a few steps to show her..."

Ji Zishan's body softened and fell into Empress Dowager Hui'an's arms again, turning into a particularly sticky piece of braised candy. Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled and patted her daughter's little butt and said angrily: "What a little naughty..."

Three days later, it is the day when the concubines and their families enter the palace to visit their relatives every month.

Concubine De's mother, Mrs. Wu, and now Mrs. Wu, also entered the palace together to visit her daughter and sister-in-law who had been promoted to Concubine. The three middle-aged and elderly women met. Concubine De's face was so depressed that she was unrestrained. Mrs. Wu looked sad and uncomfortable, but Mrs. Wu was full of anger. The girl Wu, who was deliberately embarrassed at the wedding, was her biological daughter.

After seeing the ceremony, the three of them sat down. It was okay for Mrs. Wu to care about her daughter in the palace first. When she heard her mother's concern, Concubine De couldn't help but slam the table and said with red eyes: "The people in Fu'an Palace, seeing that I lost power, no one dared to bully me..." Fu'an Palace is a general term for the elderly care palaces of the concubines of the late emperors. There are many palaces built in it, with higher positions, better living conditions, lower living conditions, and poor living conditions.

Mrs. Wu squeezed her handkerchief and wiped her tears and said, "How did they bully you? Did the Empress Dowager ignore it at all?"

Concubine De twisted her handkerchief and said angrily: "They worked together to squeeze me with words, and told me that my face was very dull. If my aunt was still there, how could they be so arrogant? I would have slapped them in the face..."

"Oh, my little ancestor." Mrs. Wu didn't care about wiping her tears and sighed repeatedly, "Didn't you tell you that our family is weak now, and you can't do anything wrong with your temperament. As long as you abide by the palace rules, the Empress Dowager will not be able to hold the handle, and you dare not do anything to you easily. If you stretch your neck alone, you are afraid that no one will cut it down with one knife..."

Concubine De raised her beautiful neck slightly: "She dares? The late emperor said that she wants her to take good care of her..."

Mrs. Wu was really defeated by her daughter's 'innocence': "Then you and the second prince respect the Empress Dowager more. You two should still look like the same way you used to do. How do you ask the Empress Dowager to take care of you? Be obedient and don't be arrogant anymore. When encountering small things, you should bear it. If the concubines and concubines are too much, you will go and find the Empress Dowager to make decisions for you. The decree left to you and the Second Prince, you should use it on this, rather than using it to fight against the Empress Dowager."

Concubine De didn't listen to the honest advice, and just pulled the veil with an irritable look on her face.

At this time, Mrs. Wu gently pulled Mrs. Wu's sleeve and begged mournfully: "Mom..."

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu lamented in her heart and said to her daughter: "There is something at home. I'm afraid you need to ask the Empress Dowager for a love affair."

The Lu family was determined to spend time with her Wu family. The eldest granddaughter was already seventeen years old. If she really retired, where would she go to find a suitable family for a while? There was no suitable young man at the relatives who were closer. Moreover, the fault of this marriage was not her own. If her family was to swallow her bitter berries this time, then what place would the Wu family have to gain a foothold in the future?
