Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin didn't know how Xiao Ziqing delayed it. However, for more than a month after that, the Queen Mother did not issue an order for Xiao Ziqing and Xia Hou Huanyan to marry, nor did she mention that Shi Fuyin should marry Xiao Ziqing.
Concubine's affairs.
During this period, Mr. Shi brought a confession to the palace. The emperor did not summon him. He only asked the chief steward of the inner court to give an oral instruction to Mr. Shi.
"The emperor has issued a decree that the family's upbringing is not strict, and it is hoped that the children in the family will be strictly disciplined!"
After hearing these words, Mr. Shi returned to his uncle's house with a heavy heart. The rest of the Shi family also had serious expressions on their faces.
Shi Fuyin felt very guilty and blamed herself for this.
Shi Fuxin held her sister's hand: "Didn't I say that the whole family will suffer when we are prosperous and suffer losses? When we are glorious, they take advantage of it. If something happens to us, they will have to bear the consequences together."
"No one in this world can only enjoy benefits without giving anything."
This is the truth, but it is really difficult not to be affected when something happens to her. Shi Fuyin suppressed the discomfort in her heart and began to learn the ways of being a servant with Nanny Leng.
Shi Fuyin was very convinced of her sister's medical skills and knew that her sister would not make fun of her life-long event.
Her younger sister helped her get the opportunity to marry into Duke An Guo's palace. Whether she can seize the opportunity or not depends on herself.
The future head wife of Duke An Guo’s Mansion cannot just give birth to children!
Every April, the emperor would bring his relatives, civil and military officials to Xiangguo Temple to pray. The Wuchang Bo Mansion had not participated in such an occasion for a long time, but this year, someone from the palace came to inform them that April 15th
Go to Xiangguo Temple to pray with the emperor.
This shocked the whole family!
"Father, mother, isn't the palace angry with us because of Sister Yin's matter?"
Mr. Shi Wu looked at Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi with surprise on his face, and the rest of the Shi family had the same expression.
Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi didn't say anything, but looked at the door of the courtyard. When they saw Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi coming back, they looked expectantly.
"Have you heard? Which palace does the father-in-law who sent us the message come from?"
Mr. Shi glanced at Shi Zhenghe and his family: "They are from Shoukang Palace."
Hearing this, Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi looked at each other, both of them looking unhappy.
Has the Empress Dowager not given up her plan to point Sister Yin to Duke An?
Others also reacted and looked at Shi Fuyin.
Shi Fuyin ignored them. At this moment, Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e's face turned pale. She and Shi Fuxin were busy trying to comfort them.
"Dad, Mom, it's okay."
"That is, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Hearing what Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin said, Mr. Shi's eyelids twitched and he glanced at Mrs. Shi.
When Mrs. Shi saw it, she sighed and said to Shi Fuyin: "Sister Yin, this time you go to Xiangguo Temple to pray. You can't contradict the Empress Dowager."
Shi Fuxinhuan looked at the Shi family and suddenly said: "What if the Empress Dowager asks my sister to be a concubine for Duke An Guo?"
Mrs. Shi fell silent, and everyone else avoided Shi Fuxin's gaze.
Seeing this, Shi Fuxin glanced at her father and her mother's eyes dimmed. Although she felt a little distressed, she did not regret asking this.
You must let your parents know that in the hearts of the Shi family, the interests of the uncle's house will always be higher than theirs.
It's not that the people in this mansion have no family affection for them, it's just that once this family affection is involved in the interests of the uncle's house, they have to give up their position.
Shi Zhenghe frowned and looked at Shi Fuyin: "Sister Yin, don't be afraid. If you don't go today, I will resign from the Military and Horse Department tomorrow. I will take you out of the capital tomorrow."
Jin Yue'e nodded hurriedly: "I'll go back and pack my things right away."
Hearing this, Mr. Shi immediately scolded: "Nonsense!" He pointed at Shi Zhenghe with trembling fingers, "Although the Soldiers and Horses Division only patrols the streets, you have been a sergeant for several years. Even if you look at it, you should understand the ways of the people in the capital.
Well, if you leave like this, aren't you obviously slapping the Queen Mother in the face?"
"Even if you don't think about the uncle's house, don't you think about Wulang and Jiulang? You ran away, Wulang is still arresting the yamen in the south, and Jiulang is still working in the palace. Do you want to put your two sons to death?"
Shi Zhenghe said with a painful expression: "But I can't just watch Sister Yin become someone's concubine."
The old man Shi looked at Shi Zhenghe with hatred: "There is a difference between a concubine and a concubine. Duke An is a first-class Duke. Even if Sister Yin is a concubine, it is better than marrying into an ordinary family."
Hearing this, Shi Fuyin couldn't listen anymore and immediately stood up: "Grandpa, stop talking. My father feels sorry for me and said some angry words. Don't worry, I will not contradict the Empress Dowager again."
Mr. Shi's eyes flickered and he did not dare to look at Shi Fuyin.
Mrs. Shi wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it, so she finally let out a long sigh.
Shi Fuyin said, "My grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother didn't look very good. Sister Xin and I took them back to Yiguiyuan to rest."
Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e left with their two daughters without saying anything.
Watching the four people leave, Mrs. Shi looked at Mr. Shi with disapproval: "You shouldn't have said what you just said."
When the old man saw that his children and grandchildren were all still there, he felt a little unable to get off the stage, so he said harshly: "Aren't I so angry? Listen to what Zhenghe said. He actually wants to take Sister Yin and Sister Xin away from the capital. This capital is what they said.
Can you leave as soon as you leave? I don’t know how to be an uncle at all. I think about Wulang and Jiulang."
Mrs. Shi didn't want to embarrass Mr. Shi too much in front of her children and grandchildren, so she kept a sullen face and said nothing more.
The old man Shi felt a little shameless, snorted, got up and left.
As soon as he left, Mr. Shi and others followed him.
Mrs. Shi waved her hands to Mrs. Shi and others, asking them to step back as well.
Finally, everyone else left, but Mrs. Shi stayed.
Mrs. Shi looked at Mrs. Shi: "Is there anything else?"
Mrs. Shi hesitated and said: "Mother, you said that the Empress Dowager sent an order for the uncle to accompany the uncle to Xiangguo Temple. Could it have something to do with Princess Qingyang's mansion?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Speaking of Princess Qingyang's Mansion, Mrs. Shi also thought of the Shengzi Pill, and her face was filled with joy: "Counting the days, if the Shengzi Pill is effective, then Princess Yongshou should have already
So happy."
Mrs. Shi nodded hurriedly.
The happiness on Mrs. Shi's face did not last long, and she sighed: "If the Shengzi Pills are really effective, Sister Yin, who has taken two Shengzi Pills, will not give up."
Who would be dissatisfied with having too many heirs, especially the Xiao family, where only An Guogong is the only one left now.
After hearing this, Mrs. Shi also sighed: "It's a pity that Sister Yin's child is gone."
The Empress Dowager asked the Wuchang Bo Mansion to accompany them to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. Duke Dingguo's Mansion soon learned of the news.
When Mrs. Dingguo found out, she immediately became anxious.
"Mom, don't walk around like this, it makes me dizzy."
Mrs. Dingguo looked at her daughter's heartless look and nodded her forehead with hatred: "The Empress Dowager notified Wuchang Bofu to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray together. What does this mean?"
"It means that the Empress Dowager has not given up the idea of giving Shi Fuyin to Duke An Guo as his concubine. Why don't you girl know how to be anxious?"
Xiahou Huanyan said in a low voice: "Is it useful for me to be anxious? I can still prevent the Queen Mother from proposing a marriage."
"you"
Mrs. Dingguo didn't want to talk anymore and thought for a moment: "No, we can't let Shi Fuyin enter Anguo's mansion. I'll go find my ancestors."
Xiahou Huanyan watched Duke Dingguo's wife hurried to Xiahou's courtyard and looked at the birdcage hanging under the eaves of the corridor with a bitter expression.
What is the difference between her now and the bird in the cage?
It was obviously her lifelong event, but she didn't have any decision-making power.
At first she was angry when she found out that Shi Fuyin was going to be a concubine for Duke An Guo, but as time went by, she was no longer angry.
She knew very well that she didn't like Duke An Guo. After marriage, as long as they could respect each other and treat each other as guests, she would be satisfied.
It is impossible for An Guogong to have no concubines. Since there will definitely be other women in the backyard, it is not so difficult to accept Shi Fuyin as a concubine.
Even if her mother told her that Duke An Guo and Shi Fuyin had been in secret for a long time, she didn't care. With the support of Duke Dingguo, no matter how much Duke An Guo liked Shi Fuyin, she could only be the mistress of Duke An Guo's Palace.
.
It's just a pity, she likes Shi Fuyin very much. If she really becomes An Guogong's concubine, they may never be able to go back to the past.
In a marriage, she not only lost her freedom, but also lost her friends. It was heartbreaking to think about it.
On April 15th, everyone in the Shi family got up early in the morning. Under the supervision of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, the female family members dressed neatly and made sure there was nothing inappropriate before getting into the carriage and heading to Xiangguo Temple.
When the Shi family arrived at Xiangguo Temple, many carriages had stopped at the entrance of Xiangguo Temple. As soon as they got off the carriages, people around them cast strange looks.
Mrs. Shi took the female members of the Shi family into Xiangguo Temple without changing her expression, found a seat and sat down.
Because they were repeatedly told not to talk nonsense at home, the girls of the Shi family could only silently watch the people around them without even whispering.
Half an hour later, the emperor's dragon chariot arrived.
As soon as the emperor arrived, the prayers officially began.
After standing outside the palace for more than two hours, the prayers were finally over. The emperor took the civil and military officials to the apse to have a meal. The female family members also led the queen to the side hall next to the apse to have a meal.
After standing for a long time, Mrs. Shi was already tired. With the help of Mrs. Shi, she had just found a place to sit down when Eunuch Xia, who was beside the Queen Mother, came over.
"Mrs. Shi, the Empress Dowager would like to meet the girl from the Shi family. Please follow me to the wing next door."
When the Empress Dowager summoned her, Mrs. Shi didn't dare to neglect her. She quickly took the girls of the Shi family and followed Eunuch Xia to the wing next door.
Everyone understood that the Empress Dowager wanted to see Shi Fuyin, but when all the girls in the Shi family were called away, the female relatives present were a little confused.
In the side room, the Queen Mother was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Beside her, there was an old monk with a white beard who was also sitting on the futon.
After Mrs. Shi came in with the girls of the Shi family, she immediately knelt down to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother glanced at Eunuch Xia. Eunuch Xia smiled and stepped forward to help Mrs. Shi up. As for the girls of the Shi family, they did not scream.
"Keep your head up!"
Shi Fuxin slowly raised her head, and then met the old monk's eyes.
The old monk looked at Shi Fuxin with a trace of surprise in his eyes, then he touched his beard with a smile and looked away again.
Noticing the old monk looking at the girls of the Shi family one by one, Shi Fuxin frowned. What was the Empress Dowager doing? Let the old monk in front of her read their faces?
About a quarter of an hour later, the old monk nodded towards the Queen Mother, and then Eunuch Xia left with Mrs. Shi and the girls of the Shi family.
"Master Wuxiang, among those girls just now, are there any who have many children and many blessings?"
As soon as the people left, the Empress Dowager looked at the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Wuxiang.
Master Wuxiang touched his beard, smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up: "Which one is it?"
Master Wuxiang smiled and said: "Many of the girls summoned by the Empress Dowager this time are blessed. Among them, the girl in pink and the girl in blue are more blessed."
The Empress Dowager did not expect that Master Wuxiang would be so optimistic about the girls of the Shi family. The girl in pink seemed to be the sixth girl of the Shi family, and Shi Fuyin happened to be wearing a blue skirt.
Thinking of Princess Yongshou who had been diagnosed with pregnancy, the Empress Dowager pondered for a moment and took out three birth dates: "Master Wuxiang, please help the Ai family do the calculations to see which of these two birth dates matches better.
This one.”
There are three birthday cards, one is Xiao Ziqing's, and the other two are Xiahou Huanyan's and Shi Fuyin's.
Master Wuxiang picked up the birth date, raised his right hand high, and began to calculate.
Two quarters of an hour after the end of the month, Master Wuxiang looked at the Empress Dowager and gave the Empress Dowager a birthday card.
The Empress Dowager took it over and looked at it. She was startled for a moment, and then seemed to relax.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That’s all, as long as Shi Fuyin can really give birth to a lot of heirs for the Xiao family, her identity will be almost the same!
After coming out of the wing, even though they were tired and hungry, Mrs. Shi and the girls of the Shi family had no intention of eating.
Shi Fuxin glanced at Xiaofang, who immediately left the side hall and came back soon.
"Girl, I found out that the old monk is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Wuxiang. I heard that Master Wuxiang is the best at reading people's faces."
Shi Fuxin looked relieved and actually called them over for a photoshoot.
Soon, Shi Fuxin became worried again. The Empress Dowager called the sisters to see their photos. The real purpose was probably to see if her sister was suitable for Xiao Ziqing.
It is unreliable to base the marriage between her sister and Xiao Ziqing entirely on the fortune-telling of an old monk.
"I don't know if Master Wuxiang is just a name in vain, or if he really has the right way to practice?"
Shi Fuxin murmured something in a low voice. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Eunuch Xia coming again. This time, he only called Shi Fuyin away.
Seeing this, Shi Fuxin felt happy.
It seems that the matter between her sister and Xiao Ziqing should be settled.
Mrs. Shi and the female family members of the Shi family also seemed to understand something, and they also looked excited.
At that time, the family was happy, but the female family members of Duke Dingguo's palace looked ugly.
After returning from Xiangguo Temple, Mrs. Dingguo did not think about food or tea, and her brows were not raised.
When Xiahou Huanyan saw it, he couldn't help but comfort him: "Mother, it's not a big deal for the Empress Dowager to summon Shi Fuyin at Xiangguo Temple. Don't do this."
Mrs. Dingguo looked at her daughter and sighed: "Silly boy, I think the Queen Mother seems to have other thoughts."
Xiahou Huanyan was puzzled: "What else are you thinking about?"
Mrs. Dingguo Gong: "Master Wuxiang never reads people's faces easily. Today, the Queen Mother asked her to show it to Shi Fuyin. Do you know what this means? A concubine, why is this!"
Xiahou Huanyan paused for a moment, then opened his eyes in surprise: "Mother, are you saying that the Empress Dowager wants Fuyin to be the official wife of Duke An Guo?"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
"That's great. If Fuyin marries An Guogong, I won't have to marry him."
Seeing that her daughter was still laughing, Mrs. Ding Guo Gong really had a headache: "You idiot, don't even think about it. Everyone in the capital knows that the Empress Dowager wants to marry you to An Guo Gong. If in the end,
The person who marries An Guogong is not you, but Shi Fuyin, so you and our Dingguo Palace will really be embarrassed."
