Yuan Qingling left Fengqi Palace and went to the Qiankun Palace of the Supreme Emperor.
The Emperor's place is probably the place in the entire palace that is least affected by the death of Concubine Xian.
After seeing the ceremony, Yuan Qingling asked, "Isn't Prince Anfeng here?"
Eunuch Chang said with a smile: "They have returned to the Su family. They will leave Beijing only after the princess's wedding."
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "We are all detached from the world, how can we always live in a land that smells like copper?"
Yuan Qingling knew that the couple would not stay in the same place for long, and they were indeed happier than gods.
It's great. If one day, she and Lao Wu can be like Prince Anfeng and his wife, all they think about every day is what to eat tonight, how happy they will be!
"By the way, did they come back specifically for this matter?" Yuan Qingling asked, remembering the conversation with Princess Anfeng in Shangxuanyue Pavilion. How great it would be if everything could develop as she said.
It's a pity that so many branches have arisen.
The Supreme Emperor leaned lazily on the back of the chair, put his feet on the small table, squinted his eyes and looked at the string of warm sunshine coming from outside the palace, "That's not necessarily the case. Something happened to Princess An before, so they also stopped by.
Come back and have a look.”
When Yuan Qingling heard about the Su family, she thought it was the Su family of the Concubine Xian. She was startled and then remembered that it was the natal family of Princess Anfeng.
Eunuch Chang said, "Mr. Su Laohou will die in two days. They brought him back to worship him."
"So that's it." Yuan Qingling felt a little emotional, "I heard that the Marquis of Su State was also very powerful in the past. The Su family is the same as the Chu family today. Why are they all withdrawing from the court one after another now?"
"This is what the old Marquis strictly ordered when he was still alive. The descendants of the Su family must slowly fade out of the court. For at least three generations, if they hold office, it cannot be an important position. After three generations, they can obtain meritorious service and enter the court. As for the future
Success depends on the individual." Chang Gong is fair.
Yuan Qingling felt that the old marquis had the same idea as Chu Shoufu. A big tree attracts wind, and having power over the government and the public seems to be majestic, but in fact it is surrounded by dangers.
In the era of imperial dictatorship, the emperor had the power of life and death. Once the emperor and his courtiers were in power, the Su family would naturally make countless enemies. Even the emperor who sat in a high position had trouble sleeping and eating, feeling that it was a great threat.
.
He was aware of current affairs, slowly faded away from his peak state, was entrusted by the imperial court, became famous and wealthy, and was highly respected in both the government and the public. This would be conducive to the comeback of his descendants three generations later. He was really worthy of being defeated.
The truth that extremes must decline.
On the other hand, if we look at the Su family, the natal family of Xian Fei, there is no sage. If the people in power of the Su family understood this truth, they would not be in this situation today.
Yuan Qingling stayed in the palace until evening, then took the snacks out of the palace.
The dim sum children were tired from playing and fell asleep on the carriage. Yuan Qingling listened to the sound of horse hooves and looked at the childish faces of the sleeping children, feeling filled with emotion.
Let's also say that since King Ji suffered a defeat in the morning on the eighth day of the lunar month, he has been locked up in his mansion. Chu Mingyang had just had hope, but suddenly it failed again. He couldn't help but vent his anger on King Ji. He was furious.
Then, he actually yelled "trash" at King Ji.
King Ji thought she had something ulterior motives, so he became angry and slapped her.
Chu Mingyang had been spoiled since he was a child and had been scolded rarely. How had he ever suffered such grievances? He immediately made a scene and made a mess in the house. King Ji was so angry that he walked away.
Chu Mingyang smashed a lot, cried a lot, felt that there was no hope in life, and was discouraged. He happened to see Princess Ji and the princess admiring plum blossoms in the yard. She was in a leisurely manner and was very content with herself.
They didn't seem to be bothered by these trivial matters, so they couldn't help but get so angry that they even ran to Princess Ji and scolded her.
