Chapter five hundred and twentieth, the so-called emperor's grace
"Do you know that your grandmother also had a daughter, and you also had an aunt?" The Queen Mother leaned back slowly and slowly told the past, "If it weren't for Princess Ming and the eldest daughter, your aunt might still be there now, and she wouldn't be here either.
I won’t let your grandmother experience the pain of losing a daughter.”
"I... don't know." The look of shock on Yu Xijiao's face couldn't deceive anyone, and her eyes suddenly widened.
The Queen Mother carefully examined Yu Xijiao's appearance and was very satisfied with her reaction. She really didn't know.
"This matter... is not allowed to be mentioned by others now, because it concerns the former Southern Tang Dynasty and the current Southern Tang Dynasty. Now the country still wants to have peace talks with the current Southern Tang Dynasty, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, the emperor will not discuss the past things.
Let people discuss it at will, and try not to talk about it."
The Queen Mother said.
"Grandma...can't you tell me?" Yu Xijiao asked in confusion.
"Your grandmother... the Ai family once asked her not to talk about this past, but she didn't ask her not to say anything. It's just that your grandmother doesn't want to recall this past, and she probably won't want to talk about it anymore.
." said the Queen Mother.
Yu Xi pursed her lips, her eyes falling on her fingertips, her head slightly lowered, her long eyelashes hiding the depth of her eyes.
If the Empress Dowager hadn't checked her face specifically just now, she would have almost believed it...
"My aunt...why is she gone? What does she have to do with the Southern Tang Dynasty? Why doesn't grandma like Princess Minghe?" Yu Xijiao asked difficult questions one after another.
She doesn't know everything.
"More than ten years ago, the Southern Tang Dynasty took the initiative to marry our Dajin and was willing to negotiate peace. The emperor chose Xu Xin'er, the daughter of the eldest princess of Minghe, which was the most suitable. Xu Xin'er is still unmarried... and she was good-looking. At that time, the Ai family
I also read it and found that she is indeed the most suitable."
The Queen Mother said.
Xu Xin'er? Mrs. Min Guo Gong? Yu Xijiao's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly thought of this name. This was what her mother told herself in private. Mrs. Min Guo had a bad character. There was a banquet at Min Guo's mansion.
, my mother didn’t let her go, so she took the post and came back early.
At that time, I was still wondering why, but my mother only said this vaguely.
I didn't take it to heart. It was both a Duke's Mansion and the Duke Min's Mansion, just like the now-declined Xuanping Hou's Mansion.
Girls don't know exactly how much.
"It took a lot of time from the selection to the final decision, and even the final decree. Who would have expected that at the last moment, when the Ai family was about to officially decide that Xu Xin'er would marry to the Southern Tang Dynasty and become the crown prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty,
Princess Minghe and the eldest princess took Xu Xin'er to the palace overnight and asked to see the Ai family."
The Queen Mother paused for a moment when she said this. In fact, there were some things she didn't think she could say to Yu Xijiao, but Wanyin was right. There was a grudge between Ming and the eldest princess and An and the eldest princess. This could really eliminate the problem.
The only person who can share the hatred is Yu Xijiao. This past event that was sealed back then must be told to Yu Xijiao first.
To be honest, this incident cannot be blamed on Princess Ming and Dachang. It can only be said that it was a mistake.
Yu Xijiao is also a reasonable person, so she will definitely understand the truth behind this, and even more understand the helplessness of the Queen Mother at that time.
"Ming and the eldest princess said that Xu Xin'er and Prince Min Guo were in love with each other. The two people had a long-standing friendship and asked the Ai family to grant them a marriage. However, at that time, Prince Min Guo had already had a marriage contract with your aunt, but Xu Xin'er
Her attitude was also very firm, she only said that even if she could not be his wife, she would still be willing to be his concubine."
The Queen Mother continued.
"After that, the Ai family asked Duke Min Guo to enter the palace. He also expressed his willingness to marry Xu Xin'er as an equal wife and admitted that the two of them were in love. Princess An and the eldest princess brought your aunt into the palace. After hearing this,
, your aunt reacted fiercely and wanted to break off the engagement with Prince Min. The quarrel was huge. Prince Min was unwilling to break off the engagement. Your aunt was fierce and only said she was willing to marry to the Southern Tang Dynasty..."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at Yu Xijiao with sad eyes, "Your aunt was too fierce back then. Even if the engagement was terminated, there was no need to marry Nan Tang. But at that time, she was in a hurry, so everyone said this.
Then your aunt begged the Ai family for permission. The Ai family...the Ai family could not bear to let your aunt leave, but your aunt was determined not to see them, so in the end she had no choice but to marry far away."
Can you only marry far away? Marry to the Southern Tang Dynasty? And today’s Southern Tang Dynasty is not the original Southern Tang Dynasty?
Yu Xijiao's fingers trembled, and she slowly put on some details that she didn't care about. She pinched her stiff fingers, and then...a sneer flashed in her eyes.
No wonder my grandmother was frustrated, no wonder my father was useless, it turns out... they all make sense!
"What happened next?" Seeing the Queen Mother's silence, Yu Xijiao seemed to have just woken up and asked urgently.
"Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty fell and the Southern Tang royal family died. Your aunt... was also missing. It is said that she died in the rebellion and did not escape." The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, "On the one hand, this matter
It is your aunt who is too stubborn, and on the other hand, it is indeed the fault of Duke Min Guo and Xu Xin'er. Your aunt really doesn't want to see them, so she asked to marry far away."
When the Queen Mother said this, she wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Your aunt also grew up under the watch of the Ai family. She grew up like a smart Yuxue, but when she grew up, she married far away due to state affairs, and then...
Then he left and never came back. The kindness of Marquis Xuanping and the royal family has been added to this kindness. To be honest, the Ai family would rather have married Xu Xin'er."
Whoever marries will die.
Xu Xin'er stole her aunt's marriage and became the wife of Duke Min Guo, but her aunt died early. Not to mention Princess An and the eldest princess, even Yu Xijiao couldn't tolerate this hatred just hearing about it.
Some of the past speculations about Princess Ming and the eldest princess became clear immediately. Those who couldn't figure out the joints connected, and then they realized how big a blow this incident had to the eldest princess An and the eldest princess.
And the so-called favor of the royal family really sounds like a joke.
"What happened between you and Xu Anjiao is like a reappearance of what happened back then. But don't imitate your aunt and act on your own initiative. If your aunt had agreed to let Xu Xin'er enter Min Guo's palace as a common wife, now she would be nothing more than a wife.
She is just an ordinary wife. She has been suppressed by your aunt all her life, so nothing will happen to your aunt. It is a pity that your aunt refused to listen to her advice at the beginning, and now she is asking your grandmother to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. "
"The Empress Dowager, so... the eldest princess Minghe's house is trying to steal the marriage of the minister daughter again?" Yu Xijiao raised her clear eyes and looked at the Queen Mother.
The girl's eyes were clear and careless, just looking at her like this, as if she could see into people's hearts.
"If you agree, she will always be under you." The Queen Mother was stunned and felt a little ashamed for no reason, but she still coughed and replied.
"The Queen Mother, I don't want to do it," Yu Xijiao said calmly.
This answer was beyond the Queen Mother's expectation. She looked at Yu Xijiao in astonishment, almost not believing what she heard. It was almost treasonous to say this to her face.
"Empress Dowager, if I say yes, it would be unfilial. My grandmother's heart is so broken, and my aunt's death is all because of Princess Minghe. If I say yes again, it would be unfilial. I will never see you again."
Grandma." Yu Xijiao stood up, knelt down, and said again, "The Queen Mother, I hope that the Queen Mother will punish me if I can't cross the threshold in my heart."
The Queen Mother coughed heavily, turned her head and covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. She felt as if there was something heavily blocked in her throat, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
The confidant Nanny hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back, finally getting the Queen Mother to recover. The Nanny brought tea. The Queen Mother took a sip and then put it down. Her eyes fell on Yu Xijiao again. At this moment, she felt strangely harmonious.
The two figures overlapped at the beginning. They were both daughters of the Yu family. After more than ten years, the two figures looked like the same person.
It was the same thing he said back then, and he said it in front of everyone.
Now, even though it was only to him, he still said the same thing.
Time and space seemed to overlap on the two people, and even their faces at this moment seemed to suddenly and surprisingly overlap, as if they were the same person.
The Queen Mother had also observed Yu Xijiao before and felt that she and her aunt were not very similar. There were only one or two things that looked somewhat similar, but now she realized that there was no difference between her and her aunt.
What comes back is the girl who never took a step back.
Her throat seemed to be blocked again, and the Queen Mother had to cough, waving her hands while coughing.
"Miss Yu, please go down first. The Queen Mother needs to rest for a while." Mammy understood what the Queen Mother meant and hurriedly said to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao bowed to the Queen Mother and then stood up and left.
Standing in the corridor, he narrowed his eyes and looked at a corner of the sky outside the hall, and the corners of his lips curled up silently, with a hint of ridicule.
My grandfather saved two generations of emperors, but finally died of his injuries. For such a great kindness, he still asked his aunt to marry and marry far away. The royal family is really cruel.
The emperor, who always flaunted himself as the most grateful emperor, just let his aunt marry far away? She didn't believe it, so there was no other way.
Xu Xin'er and Prince Min Guo had an affair, and they ended up in front of the Queen Mother. But in the end, the two people who did wrong things were fine. Only the aunt had to be forced to marry far away. The so-called emperor's favor... is really huge.
ah……
The aunt's marriage can be regarded as resolving the dilemma of the Jin Dynasty, but now no one talks about the aunt. They are ordered not to talk about the aunt anymore, just to please the current Southern Tang royal family, but the so-called peace talks are actually only for this period of time.
The thing, my aunt's thing happened so long ago.
Have you been in peace talks for so long, or have you been preparing for peace talks?
How useless and cold.
When she was Yu Lanxuan, she had never heard anyone talk about her aunt. Everyone in the know didn't speak. It must be the royal intention. Just now the Queen Mother looked at her face as she spoke. When she saw that she was really surprised, she
He showed a satisfied smile because he was afraid that his grandmother would tell him this.
Are you worried about grandma?
I always feel that there are more things behind my grandmother's frustration. That line also involves my father's incompetence. Although my father is a little more indecisive, he is not so incompetent, so this has something to do with my aunt...
"Miss Yu San, can I have a few words with you?" A gentle voice interrupted Yu Xijiao's thoughts. She narrowed her eyes and turned around slowly...
