Joy burst out in Wei Jingxuan's eyebrows, and she stroked her cheek and said, "I saw that the emperor was reluctant to agree before, so I thought he would not agree. Unexpectedly, he suddenly agreed again."
Qiaoyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty must have noticed that the master has mentioned that he has been unwell recently, and is afraid that you will be in danger due to the impending delivery, so he decided to call the second young lady into the palace."
The joy on Wei Jingxuan's face was slightly startled by her words, and she said in a cold voice: "Yes, the emperor is not afraid that this palace is in danger, but that the dragon fetus is in danger. After all..." She raised the corners of her lips,
Word by word: "The dragon fetus is the foundation for settling down in the palace."
Two days later, Hongli ordered Xiao Wu to send an order to the Wei Mansion, summoning Wei Xiuyan to the palace to accompany his concubine. Before Wei Xiuyan entered the palace, word had spread, and there were a lot of discussions in the palace, including those who were envious and those who were jealous.
On this day, Mrs. Hu went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects. While chatting, she mentioned this matter and said doubtfully: "My queen, you said that Wei Jingxuan is in good condition. Why did you suddenly think of letting her sister come into the palace to accompany her? Is it really in the palace?
Feeling lonely and want someone to accompany you?"
Xia Qing sneered: "How can you believe her words? He Jing and Ke are still young and need careful care. How can they be lonely? I think I must have some hidden purpose for this."
Xianyue stroked the golden silk beaded armor on the ring finger of her left hand and said slowly: "Wei Jingxuan never does useless things. Come to think of it...this time will be no exception."
Mrs. Hu frowned and said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out what her intention is."
Qiu Ju said quickly at the side: "Could it be that the concubine feels that she is weak alone and the people in the palace cannot be fully trusted, so she wants to let her sister into the palace to take care of each other."
Before she finished speaking, Madam Hu covered her lips and said with a smile: "You girl is really thoughtful, but do you know how old my concubine's sister is this year?"
Qiu Ju thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "This slave really doesn't know, but my concubine is already over thirty years old, and her sister shouldn't be too young either, almost twenty?"
Faced with her probing words, Xia Qing said: "More than twenty, she was already married when A Luo got married. Now she is at least twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. Have you ever seen the emperor choose a show that is so old?"
As a woman, let alone a widow, even if the Emperor is willing to ask for it, the Queen Mother will not agree to it, so this is absolutely impossible."
Qiu Ju thought about it and said blankly: "Then this slave will not be able to guess your concubine's intention."
After a moment of silence, Xia Qing said: "I want to tell you that the strangest thing is that the emperor agreed to her request. There are many people in the palace who are pregnant with dragon fetuses and even give birth to princes, but there has never been one who can summon his family members.
The palace will accompany you."
"My concubine has always known how to please the emperor, and it's not like Concubine Hui doesn't know that." Mrs. Hu wiped the water stains on her lips and said: "But in this matter, the emperor most likely did it because of the dragon fetus in her belly.
Go ahead, otherwise she won’t be able to agree to it no matter how much she talks about it.”
Xia Qing said with a touch of ridicule: "When did the emperor value the child she gave birth to so much?"
Mrs. Hu sighed and said: "No matter how bad Mrs. Wei is, she will always have a dragon fetus in her belly. The emperor cannot ignore it, not to mention that she is still somewhat favored by the emperor."
Xianyue slightly frowned and said: "The Emperor is not a person who will make exceptions easily. There must be other feelings, but we have no way of knowing it for a while. I have been thinking about Wei Jingxuan's intentions just now, and what Qiu Ju said
, it may not be impossible!”
Hearing this, both Hu and Xia Qing had a look of shock on their faces. The former said in disbelief: "This is impossible. Considering Wei's sister's condition, there is no way the emperor would choose her to be in the palace."
Xia Qing then said: "That's right, empress..."
Xianyue raised her hand to stop Xia Qing from continuing, and stood up and said, "You think it's impossible, so tell me why Wei Jingxuan spent so much effort to beg the emperor to let her sister enter the palace?"
Xia Qing and the other two were left speechless by her question. After a while, they finally said: "If Mrs. Wei really thinks so, I can only say that she is daydreaming."
Xianyue raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Yongshou Palace, and said slowly: "Just watch, you will soon know what Wei Jingxuan's idea is."
On the second day after Xiao Wu delivered the order, Wei Xiuyan, who was dressed in Taoist robes, entered the palace according to the order and followed the palace attendants all the way from Shenwu Gate to Yongshou Palace. When she saw Wei Jingxuan sitting at the top, she felt happy.
, was about to step forward, but thinking of Wei Jingxuan's identity and location, she quickly suppressed the impulse and knelt down and said: "Xiuyan has seen your concubine, may your concubine be safe!"
When she saw Wei Xiuyan for the first time, Qiaoyu was stunned. After she recovered, she quietly pulled Mao Gui's sleeve and said in disbelief: "Is this... really the second lady? She
...How can you be so young?”
Wei Xiuyan is eight years younger than Wei Jingxuan, so she is already twenty-seven this year, and is two years older than Qiaoyu. But when Qiaoyu saw her, she found that she was radiant, youthful, and charming, which was really hard to find.
I believe she is already twenty-seven years old, but she looks like she is only seventeen or eighteen at most.
"Who else can there be except the second young lady?" Mao Gui met Wei Xiuyan more than once when he went in and out of the Wei Mansion. He knew her situation very well, so he never showed any surprise.
Despite Mao Gui's words, Qiaoyu still couldn't believe it. Although people could look younger through various methods of maintaining their appearance, Wei Jingxuan was like this. She looked like twenty people, but that kind of young woman alone
Some youthfulness cannot last forever, and will gradually fade away once you are over twenty; but all this is not true for Wei Xiuyan, and time seems to have stopped on her, which is really surprising.
Wei Jingxuan had been waiting for a long time, and beckoned Wei Xiuyan to come closer. After looking at her carefully, she said with a smile: "Looking left and right, I have been waiting for you to come to me. It is not easy."
Wei Xiuyan smiled and said: "To sum it up, it has been more than ten years since I last saw the empress in the Fu Mansion. I heard that the empress was demoted and banned from the Yongshou Palace. Both Amma and E Niang were worried and helpless.
We couldn't meet each other in the palace, but fortunately, the empress was able to find peace in the end. Not only did she regain her position as concubine, she also gave birth to two little princesses one after another, and now she is pregnant with a dragon fetus."
"It's still too early to say whether it's a good time or not." After saying this, Wei Jingxuan added: "Although you and I haven't seen each other for many years, we are still sisters. There is no need to be so formal. You should call me sister as before."
"Yes." Wei Xiuyan agreed, and then said: "Sister, since the emperor has summoned me to the palace, will there be a decree for canonization within a few days?" The reason why she has not remarried for many years, and according to Wei Jingxuan's words, she is far away from home.
Going to Changchun to see the Taoist nun as her teacher and other things were all to wait for this day. She had been putting it off again and again before, and she thought there was no hope. Unexpectedly, an imperial edict suddenly came to summon her to the palace, which made her extremely happy.
