Helian looked at the gift from her only grandson and was very disappointed. She shook her head and said, "That's all, Afeng is still a child after all!"
Aunt Qiu knew that the old lady was just comforting her. She could see very clearly that the disappointment on Taijun's face had overshadowed the joy just now.
When Qiurong returned to Tingxue Pavilion, she saw Bei Tangjin leaning on the bed with a tired look on her face. She stepped forward to report the situation just now and said, "Miss, everything went well."
Bei Tangjin waved his hand, indicating that Qiu Rong could go down, and said: "I understand."
But Qiu Rong obviously had something on his mind and was very worried, saying: "But Miss, do you really not plan to give the parrot to Prince Jinming's Mansion?"
Bei Tangjin was very tired after a long day today and said, "I have my own opinion on this matter. You don't have to worry. Go down and have a good rest. It's been a busy day."
Seeing that Bei Tangjin was not worried at all, Qiu Rong finally felt relieved. Since the young lady has a way, she should come up with a perfect strategy.
Since Bei Tangjin had an outstanding performance in combat in the army, and was very good at defeating many with less, rarely making mistakes, and being proficient in accidents, Qiu Rong was very confident in Bei Tangjin and believed that her daughter could solve any trouble.
It wasn't until Qiu Rong left that Beitang Jin sighed deeply. In fact, she was extremely hesitant about whether to send the parrot to Prince Ming's Mansion.
If she sends the parrot to Prince Ming's Mansion, it is obviously a sign of weakness. In fact, there is nothing wrong with showing weakness. The most important thing is that the reason why she should not show weakness is that the other party forces him to show weakness. In this case, if she really softens, I am afraid that the other party will
He may not let her go. When he recalled Prince Ming's proud smile, Bei Tangjin became more certain of his opinion.
But if she didn’t give the parrot to Prince Ming, she would be openly opposing Prince Ming! The other party would have even more reason to confront her, and it might even cause her to become a stumbling block!
It won’t work if you send it, and it won’t work if you don’t...
Bei Tangjin's head was a little confused and she couldn't figure it out. What should she do? Prince Ming wanted to see the parrot early tomorrow morning! So she had to come up with a perfect plan before tomorrow morning!
It's just that her current state is obviously not suitable for thinking about things, so Bei Tangjin puts simpler things first and sorts them out in her mind.
In her previous life, she didn't meet the Helian family on the first day she arrived in Beitang Mansion, let alone any gifts! Back then, she really didn't understand the rules of these big families, so she easily fell into the trap of the other party.
When she went to see Helian on the second day, she was completely shut up. In the end, she even gave him a gift that made Helian extremely displeased. This made her grandmother, who was very fond of chanting Buddha's name, dislike her very much.
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that under the influence of this old lady, his father Beitang Xun hated her even more for her infamous reputation!
With the lessons learned from her previous life, Bei Tangjin was naturally well prepared. She bought the gift before meeting Bei Tang Xun, and ordered Qiu Rong to secretly deliver it to the old lady before going to the banquet, so as not to alert the snake and Wang Yuanxiang.
Discovered and noticed by Beitang Feng.
In order not to alert the snake, Bei Tangjin did not tell Qiu Rong the truth. She was planning to frame Bei Tang Feng. First, after getting along with each other for this period of time, and Bei Tang Jin's memories of his past life, she discovered that although Bei Tang Feng
She is only twelve years old, but she is extremely smart and thoughtful. If she finds anything a little strange, she will be very vigilant and get to the bottom of it. Therefore, she did not tell Qiurong to avoid being discovered by Beitang Peak in advance.
.
Secondly, Qiu Rong had always thought that Beitang Feng was a good person and treated them well. Therefore, if Bei Tangjin suddenly told her that Beitang Feng was actually a person with evil intentions, I am afraid Qiu Rong would not be so serious.
Believe it or even doubt it. Therefore, it is inevitable that you will be sloppy in getting things done and miss the best opportunity!
Due to various considerations, Beitang Jin chose to let Qiurong and Chuntao discover Beitang Feng's evil intentions on their own, so that things would be easier for them to do.
As for why she wanted to give a blue and white porcelain tea set, it was naturally because she had to consider the future birthday party of the old lady and make some necessary arrangements in advance!
Since Beitang Feng wants her to lose the heart of the old lady, then she will naturally treat him in the same way as he does!
After settling Wang Yuanxiang and promising to rest at Shuyunzhai later, Beitang Xun hurriedly went to see his mother.
At this time, Helian was still chanting sutras, but he stopped when he heard his son coming.
"The son pays homage to his mother." After not seeing Helian for three years, Beitang Xun knelt on the ground and buttoned his head three times.
"Get up and talk." Even when dealing with his son, Helian still had a very cold attitude.
"If a son is unfilial, he cannot be by his mother's side." Beitang Xun said guiltily. Last year, the old lady fell ill and he was unable to leave while fighting in the army. Therefore, thinking about it now, he felt very guilty.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. You don't have to blame yourself, just stand up and speak." Helian still held the Buddhist beads in his hand without raising his eyes.
Xun of the Northern Tang Dynasty had long been accustomed to Helian's indifferent attitude, and he said: "My son has disappointed his mother. Although his son has outstanding military achievements, the emperor did not make him a marquis, and even allowed his son to stay in Dadu. The son wanted to
It’s hard to get ahead like this!”
Beitang Xun was very disappointed with the emperor's decision. He even resented the emperor. Since the emperor liked his daughter so much, logically speaking, there should be no problem for him to be promoted to a higher rank. However, he did not expect that not only was he not promoted, but he was never promoted.
If you want to stay in Dadu for a long time, it will be difficult to go to the border and gain military exploits!
After Beitang Xun finished speaking, Helian finally opened her eyes, with a disappointed look on her face. Although she was chanting Buddha at home, she also knew that Beitang Xun had good news frequently, and even in her heart, her son had long been a
He was a Marquis, but he didn't expect that his son would miss out on the title so easily! What a pity!
After a long while, Helian sighed and said: "God's will is like this, why should you worry about it? You don't have to care too much!"
Beitang Xun was naturally very unbalanced in his heart, but he had to maintain a stable posture in front of his mother to reassure her.
"Although my son has not been promoted to an official position, Ajin has won a lot of honors for Beitang Jin. His Majesty loves her very much and bestowed upon her the four words 'loyalty, filial piety, sincerity and elegance'. I think she will be able to hang it in front of Beitang Mansion in the near future."
Got it!"
Although Helian heard some rumors that Bei Tang Jin had performed well this time and received a commendation from the emperor, but he did not know what the specific award was. He heard that the emperor actually awarded Bei Tang Jin the four words "loyalty, filial piety, sincerity and elegance"
, Helian was very shocked. Many people never get these four words in their entire lives, but it is really amazing that Beitang Jin received such an honor at such a young age.
"Is this girl so outstanding? When Qingxue had to send this child to the border, I felt that this child's life would be ruined. After all, any woman who comes back from the border will be criticized by the world, even this one
Even though the child has made great achievements in battle, he cannot get rid of the rumors. In the past, Princess Pinghua also made great achievements in battle and was praised and loved by the emperor. Isn’t it because she grew up in the army and was criticized after returning to the capital, so that she finally died in depression?
Huh? But I didn’t expect His Majesty the Emperor to value this child so much. Does His Majesty have other intentions..."
At this point, Helian stopped suddenly, looked at Beitang Xun, and asked for confirmation, but Beitang Xun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has never hinted this. I think your Majesty is deeply in love with the Queen, so he will not take any more concubines."
Come on!"
Helian's face relaxed and he said: "It seems that this child is really lucky!"
Beitang Xun also felt that his daughter was very blessed and lucky. Not only did she avoid being framed, she was also a blessing in disguise. Thinking of this, Beitang Xun added: "Not only that, Ajin got Princess Yongchang at the celebration banquet.
He has blue eyes and is called a bosom friend by the princess. Do you think this child is strange?"
When Helian heard the words "Princess Yongchang", his eyebrows jumped suddenly. The reason is that anyone who tries to cling to Princess Yongchang will not end well, especially when Queen Qingyue, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei, has already
Even though she was seventeen years old, no one dared to marry her. It was because she had offended Princess Yongchang.
She subconsciously thought that Bei Tangjin might have offended Princess Yongchang. In that case, the entire Beitang family would be in trouble! However, what surprised her was that it was Princess Yongchang who was willing to make friends with Bei Tangjin. Then
In this case, the Beitang family will naturally be lucky! After all, His Majesty loves this daughter so much that even if it is a pearl in the sky, His Majesty will hold it up and give it to Princess Yongchang.
"How can this girl win the favor of the proud and self-proclaimed Princess Yongchang?" Helian couldn't help but wonder that in most cities, there were many ladies from famous families and talented women everywhere. Prince Yongchang didn't even bother to date, but he did this to his granddaughter who grew up in the border area.
Looking at it differently, there must be a reason for this!
Beitang Xun couldn't hide the pride and joy in his heart, and said: "It was Ajin who used the sound of the flute to simulate the sounds of other instruments to please Princess Yongchang, so Princess Yongchang said that Ajin was her confidant! It seems that Ajin is the same as Ajin.
Princess Yongchang is destined."
Helian doesn't like musical instruments, but he also knows that it is not easy to simulate the sounds of other instruments with Xiao. It requires years of practice. It is said that Princess Yongchang practiced for five years before she could simulate the sounds of other instruments with Xiao, and it was extremely vivid.
, but she has never heard of it before. Then Bei Tangjin should have gone through several years of hard training!
"I still neglected this child too much. She turned out to be so good. If Qingxue knew better, she would be happy." Helianshi, who had always been cold and rigid, showed a rare and loving smile on his face.
"What mother said is that in a few days, my son will go to see Qingxue in person. It has been ten years, and my son has not been able to see her for ten years. Today, Ajin has become famous, so she must be able to forgive me!"
Thinking of what happened back then, Helian sighed and said: "It's all fate, why should you blame yourself? After so many years, there is no need to torture yourself anymore. Even forgiveness should be enough!"
