Wei and De looked at each other and asked in astonishment: "Could it be that my father's fainting before... was a fake?"
Father Wei said coldly: "If I didn't do this, how could I have made Xiuyan change her mind and agree to serve the emperor!"
Hearing this, the two of them suddenly understood. Wei De even said suddenly: "So that's it. Why did my father suddenly change his attitude and protect that dead girl Xiuyan like this? It turns out that this is why my father is really smart."
Father Wei glanced at him and said: "You two only need to know this in your heart. Don't reveal any traces, lest Xiuyan changes her mind after knowing about it. Even I won't be able to do anything about it."
Wei De said quickly: "Father, don't worry, my second brother and I will definitely keep the secret and never let Xiuyan know anything about it."
Father Wei nodded slowly and said: "As long as you can get through this, you two brothers will no longer have to succumb to low-level officials, and your future will be bright. At that time, the Wei family will truly stand out, and you will no longer have to live in the same situation as before.
Don’t dare to fight or snatch things.”
"Father is right." After saying this, Wei Xing said with some confusion: "But then again, why did the emperor suddenly fall in love with Xiuyan? Didn't he always dislike Xiuyan before?"
When Father Wei heard this, he frowned and said, "I find this strange too. I will look for an opportunity to ask the Queen later to see if she knows."
Wei De thought for a moment and said: "Father, although the emperor accepted Xiuyan now and gave him Guangxiu Garden, Xiuyan has always been nameless and has no status, and what he can do to help us is limited. We still have to find a way to let Xiuyan
Just enter the palace."
"Take this slowly. Doing it too hastily will only be counterproductive." Seeing what Wei's father said, the two stopped talking. After dawn, Hong Zhou came as promised. After learning that Wei Xiuyan had changed her mind and agreed to serve Hong Li,
She was very happy and immediately took her to Guangxiu Garden. From then on, she lived here, and her daily life was taken care of by the servants in the garden. As for the money, she would also be allocated directly from the inner treasury.
Two days later, Wei Jingxuan learned from Wei's father's letter what had happened in these days. After putting down the letter, her face had cleared away the previous gloom and she said hello repeatedly.
Mao Gui was the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing her like this, he chuckled and said, "Seeing that the master is so happy, I dare to guess that the matter that has troubled the master for many days should have been solved."
Wei Jingxuan chuckled and said: "Yes, the emperor not only recalled his father and the others, but also took in Xiuyan and placed her in Guangxiu Garden. Although there are some deviations, in general, it is still according to the palace's vision.
Development, how can I be unhappy?"
"Guangxiu Garden?" Qiaoyu said in surprise: "So the emperor doesn't intend to let the second lady enter the palace?"
Wei Jingxuan's smile faltered slightly, and she said helplessly: "After all, the matter between Xiuyan and Sixth Brother is so big, it is unprecedented for the emperor to accept her, and entering the palace... is difficult!"
Qiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Master, I really can't understand why the emperor suddenly accepted the second young lady. Hasn't he always hated the second young lady?" After saying this, she remembered that Wei Jingxuan had forbidden her to ask these questions.
,even
He hurriedly lowered his head. Fortunately, Wei Jingxuan was in a good mood this time and did not get angry. She just said calmly: "Anything is possible. The key is whether you can find the right place. The emperor has a wise life. The only weakness is the queen and Twelve Ah."
elder brother."
Although Qiaoyu didn't quite understand it yet, she could tell that the fact that the Wei family could change so much overnight probably had something to do with the Queen and her 12th elder brother.
Mao Gui whispered: "Master, is it true that the second lady can't enter the palace? Then won't it be difficult for you and her to take care of her in the future?"
Wei Jingxuan waved her hand and said: "Let's discuss this later. I am more concerned about He Jing and the others at the moment. How long will it take before the Emperor is willing to let them return to Yongshou Palace?"
Mao Gui said flatteringly: "Since the emperor has forgiven the master and the others, I believe that the master will soon return to his favor. By then, he will naturally be able to bring the two princesses back."
"I hope so!" With that said, Wei Jingxuan took out the prescription that Zhuang Zheng had given her before and said, "For tomorrow, go to Guangxiu Garden to meet Xiuyan and tell her that this prescription has some properties."
She should take it every day to benefit her body. In addition..." Her eyes flashed slightly and she said: "The remaining prescription from before was asked to be temporarily stopped by her to avoid conflict with the medicinal properties. You should be aware of this."
Mao Gui said knowingly: "Master, don't worry, I will tell the second lady."
In the next few days, although Hongli did not summon Wei Jingxuan, he no longer prohibited her from going to his brother's house to visit He Jing and others. He also rewarded her with things, which showed that she was on the verge of a comeback. Those noble people often saw this.
, naturally entering and leaving the Yongshou Palace more frequently.
However, Wei Jingxuan was not in a happy mood. Wei Xiuyan returned the prescription she asked Mao Gui to bring intact, and even put down her words and said not to interact with each other again in the future. Mao Gui asked why.
, she only said that Wei Jingxuan knew it in her heart, and refused to say a word about the rest. After Mao Gui brought the words back, Wei Jingxuan was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on, so she could only slowly think about the problems.
On the first day of March, Wei Jingxuan finally received Hongli's blessing again, and her position as concubine, which had been on shaky ground, was once again firmly established. Wei De and Wei Xing were also awarded the eighth rank by Hongli respectively.
Although the official title was just a casual job, it was enough for them to be happy. In addition, Hongli also rewarded the Wei family with a daughter.
For a moment, there were many opinions in the palace. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were puzzled. Although Wei Jingxuan was favored again, she was not very favored. Why did Hongli treat her family so favorably?
On this day, Wei Jingxuan went to Cining Palace to pay her respects. When she entered the Nuan Pavilion, she saw Ling Ruo copying Buddhist scriptures at her desk, while Mrs. Hu was grinding ink aside. She did not dare to disturb her and waited quietly aside until Ling Ruo stopped writing.
He bowed in front of him and said, "I send my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed." When he could stand behind him, he turned to the Queen Mother again.
Mrs. Hu saluted, then took the food box from Qiaoyu, and whispered: "I heard that the Queen Mother has lost her appetite recently, so I specially picked the fresh lotus leaves that had just grown, washed them and made soup with them.
The rice and rock sugar are boiled into porridge. It tastes sweet and refreshing. Her Majesty may wish to try it."
Ling Ruo did not order anyone to take it, but just looked at Wei Jingxuan steadily. After a while, she said: "My concubine, you are very good!"
Wei Jingxuan smiled apologetically and said: "Being filial to the Queen Mother is a matter that belongs to the concubine. I don't dare to praise the Queen Mother!"
Ling Ruo's eyes suddenly darkened, and there was endless agility hidden in his brows, "Do you really think Ai Jia is praising you?"
Wei Jingxuan heard something was wrong and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother, please calm down. I wonder what I did wrong to make the Queen Mother angry?"
