Pei Yi is dead.
Died when Mu Qingyu was four years old.
Her faith collapsed and she was worried. Even though she didn't want to leave her daughter behind, she was unable to do anything and died on the bed.
Less than two months after her death, Mu Mingyuan renewed her relationship and welcomed Kong Yijia into the house.
At that time, Kong You had also been promoted from a fifth-rank scholar to a third-rank salt transport envoy. He was wealthy and had real power. In addition, Kong Yijia was the one who eloped with him after all. A wife was not as good as a concubine, and a concubine was not as good as a thief. Kong Yijia was good at catching people's hearts.
His feelings for Kong Yijia are naturally different. He also doesn’t want the smart son and daughter Kong Yijia gave birth to to him to become common children, so he helps Kong Yijia to be straight.
It was also the decline of the Weiwu Hou Mansion. As long as someone could seize the title, or be an official of the fourth rank or above, Mu Mingyuan would not dare to be so presumptuous! After this incident, the Weiwu Hou Mansion and the Mu family broke up.
For this reason, the imperial censor also impeached Mu Mingyuan, saying that he could not cultivate his moral integrity and manage his family, and his inner house was in chaos, so why did he hold an important position?
If Mu Mingyuan's teacher, who regarded him as his own son, had not intervened and suppressed the matter, Mu Mingyuan might have ended up as an official.
But, who in the capital didn’t know about this at that time?
When it comes to Mu Mingyuan being so angry with his wife that he straightened up his wife, and his illegitimate children have the status of legitimate children, who wouldn’t laugh in secret?
It is said that the Mu family was born as a profit-seeking businessman after all, and they were good at climbing and calculating, but they allowed the chaos in the backyard, doted on concubines and destroyed their wives, which was despised by others! It's just a pity that Miss Pei of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion was so green, tender, gentle and intelligent back then.
The woman married an inhumane person and ended up with a miserable fate. It is also a pity that the daughter born to Miss Pei lost her mother at such a young age. How can her life be easy?
It was precisely because of this voice of pity that it somehow reached the emperor's ears. After the emperor summoned her and asked him about it in person, he was afraid that he would think of Mu Qingyu again, so she saved her life and was able to grow up.
But even so, the eldest daughter of the Mu family was not treated as the eldest daughter should be. She lived alone in a courtyard with several servants arranged by Kong Yijia, and she never attended a gathering of the noble ladies in the capital.
opportunities.
More than ten years have passed. As Mu Mingyuan was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with a high and powerful position, this incident seemed to have faded out of people's memory.
But in their hearts, an illegitimate daughter is an illegitimate daughter. Even if she is plated with gold, Mu Manqi is still not as innocent as Mu Qingyu.
Qin Xuran, the prince of Dingyuanhou, actually married Mu Manqi. Obviously, the situation in the capital has developed in the original direction.
The haze deep in the eyes of the fourth prince Chu Yuncheng was so thick that it could not be resolved.
At this time, neither the eldest prince's faction nor the fourth prince's faction had any intention of teasing and running against Chu Xinyuan.
Chu Juan has been disabled since he was a child, and he knows that he has no hope of that position. Being an idle prince is his final outcome. Even the brothers who covet that position in their hearts will not be on guard against him. On the contrary, he is the most popular one.
With him mediating in the middle, the atmosphere was not so tense.
The queen was in a good mood today and summoned many noble ladies after the banquet.
Especially Kong Zhiyou, the daughter of General Kong, she asked several questions in a gentle manner and was very cordial in her conversation.
Ming Qinxue and Jiang Xintong, the granddaughter of Jiang Taifu, who were summoned at the same time as Kong Zhiyou, the queen only asked a few polite questions.
But Kong Xi was not happy at all about the queen's favor.
Why does the queen only have superficial kindness towards Ming Qinxue? That’s because Ming Qinxue is the daughter of that old fox Ming Chongjun, and it’s not a secret that the old fox supports the eldest prince.
Ming Chongjun intended to betroth Ming Qinxue to the eldest prince, but he was afraid of the emperor's suspicion, so he did not mention it for the time being. This is also the reason why the eldest prince has not yet married a concubine despite being twenty-two years old.
No matter how good the queen was to her, Ming Chongjun would never marry Ming Qinxue to the fourth prince.
But Kong Zhiyou is different.
As the leader of the military generals, Kong Xi holds a high position and has always remained neutral. If Kong Zhiyou marries the fourth prince as his concubine, he will stand in the fourth prince's camp just as Queen Wei's natal family supports the fourth prince.
