Yuan Qingling went to the Qiankun Hall to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor asked about Aunt Xi, and Yuan Qing said: "While she was recuperating, Chu Shoufu went to visit her. She was much energetic. As for the outside world, no one dared to say anything anymore."
"But you are listless, what's the matter?" asked the Supreme Emperor.
Yuan Qing Lingcai remembered what happened to the Eighth Prince and said: "I'm fine, Grandfather. If someone from the Queen's side asks why the Eighth Prince has a pair of glasses, just say that they were given to you by you."
The Supreme Emperor said coldly: "Needless to say, the Queen does not dare to ask."
Yuan Qing was startled.
Eunuch Chang explained: "The queen is also from the Chu family."
Yuan Qingling sat down and looked at the Supreme Emperor, "Grandfather, Chu Shoufu, do you really trust him?"
"What do you have to say?" The Supreme Emperor glanced at her and asked.
Yuan Qingling was a little confused, "I just think that I always thought that he was a careerist. My father waited quietly to curry favor with him, but he blocked the door. He also asked my father to ask Lao Wu to divorce me, in order to get rid of me.
Lao Wu married Chu Mingyang. When I saw him for the first time, I thought he was fierce."
The Supreme Emperor raised his hand and ordered people to close the palace door.
Eunuch Chang went out and stood guard outside.
The Supreme Emperor then spoke earnestly and sincerely: "He must have disliked you and your father at first. You must know who your father is and how you came to be Princess Chu. You also know in your heart that he has always been optimistic about Lao Wu.
, why do you want the fifth child to marry the daughter of Jinghou Mansion? Especially, you were really very bad at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are immoral and evil."
Yuan Qingling comforted herself in her heart, saying that she was talking about the former Yuan Qingling, not her.
"I don't think he thinks highly of Lao Wu. It's just that he twice wanted to marry Chu Mingyang to Lao Wu, and he obviously didn't do justice to the matter of Marquis Huiding." Yuan Qing Ling said.
After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor smiled, "What kind of justice is it? He has to be a good person? Who do you characterize him as? If he is good to Auntie Xi, he must be good to each of you? He was
If I don’t like you or your father, I will inevitably make things difficult for your father. My fifth daughter-in-law, let me tell you, he is not a heinous person, but he is definitely not a gentleman. He is the chief minister of the government and has a lot of power.
A person has the power of life and death, so don't arbitrarily characterize him as a good person or a bad person. There are many kinds of people, especially in his position. If necessary, he can even sacrifice his relatives, let alone irrelevant people like you."
"That's not what I meant," Yuan Qingling explained, "I just think that regarding the matter of Marquis Huiding, he is obviously biased and wants to protect him."
"Because Huidinghou is capable." The Supreme Emperor sighed, "Do you think it is so easy to find a capable person in this civil and military dynasty? It is a pity that Huidinghou is so bad. What Chu Da regrets is that the court has lost an available person.
He is a talented person, Hui Dinghou is a person he has trained for a long time, and it is time to put him to great use."
When it comes to politics, Yuan Qingling really doesn’t understand much.
However, Yuan Qingling understood what the Supreme Emperor meant.
To the chief minister of the current dynasty, the injustice of a princess who has made no contribution to the country is indeed nothing compared to the loss of a person who is truly useful to the country.
This is what he thinks.
This is why many times, even though we know that a person has bad deeds, we still have to reuse him.
"You can say that Chu Da is unkind and unjust, but he has done many practical things for the Northern Tang Dynasty. Every citizen of the Northern Tang Dynasty who lives and works in peace and contentment should be grateful to him." The Supreme Emperor said again.
Yuan Qingling hesitated for a moment, "Then you just said that he supports Lao Wu..."
"Lao Wu is not a thing in the pond. He will turn into a dragon when encountering storms. But at present, he still lacks some experience. You should be happy." The Supreme Emperor said meaningfully.
Yuan Qingling was not happy.
The so-called storms are actually hardships.
Women all over the world hope to marry a great hero.
But when I got married, my wishes became very dull. I just wanted him to be safe, healthy and well.
As for whether she can make a successful career, she doesn't think it's that important as long as she can live a decent life and isn't so poor that she has to beg for food.
However, it was difficult for Yuan Qingling to say these words in front of the Supreme Emperor.
Because, as far as she knew, the Supreme Emperor was also optimistic about Lao Wu.
Nowadays, among the three giants, they all look to Lao Wu.
As long as they push it, it can happen.
She suddenly felt melancholy. What exactly was the so-called situation? She used to think that Lao Wu was very capable, but after they got better, she always felt that Lao Wu was not as wise as before.
Perhaps it was because of the personal relationship between the children.
She felt guilty and did not dare to look at the Emperor.
Two days later, Princess Sun came and asked her for the menu for King Sun's birthday.
Yuan Qing Lingcai remembered that Prince Sun had come to the mansion several times before, saying that he wanted to taste the dishes of the imperial chef in preparation for his birthday.
She said: "Second sister-in-law, I have a question. Didn't my second brother's birthday come early? I came here to taste the dishes in the past few months just for my birthday."
"Do you believe him? He is just a glutton." Princess Sun said angrily, "He has lost his face just for food, so why does he need a birthday?"
Yuan Qingling couldn't help laughing, "Is that so?"
Princess Sun lowered her voice and said, "By the way, did you know that King Qi and Princess Qi are making peace with each other?"
Yuan Qingling nodded, "I heard that Concubine Yuan lives in my house. She told me this."
Princess Sun said with a thorough expression, "This matter is 90% impossible."
"How do you say it?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Sun said coldly: "Chu Mingcui is not stupid. If she and Li go out, is it possible that she can still find someone like Lao Qi? Lao Qi is the emperor's legitimate son. He is gentle and elegant. She can't find him even with a big lantern.
How willing is she to give up after finding such a good person? My head is my guarantee for her."
Yuan Qingling smiled, "Don't be too confident, maybe you will really be willing to let it go."
"Unless your fifth child says you want her, she can't leave." Princess Sun was very sure.
Yuan Qingling said awkwardly: "Why is it related to my family again?"
Princess Sun said earnestly and sincerely: "Don't blame the second sister-in-law for being careless. You are right to be more careful about everything, especially at this juncture. You must be careful not to stick to it. It is so difficult to be afraid of pestering your daughter. Lao Wu and she grew up as childhood sweethearts, and we have a friendship.
If you pester for the first time, you may be able to refuse sternly, but if you pester a few times, you will always fall behind, and men sometimes cannot be trusted."
Yuan Qing Ling was taught, "I know, I will keep a closer eye."
"Lao Wu cares about you, but I just don't know how far he can go. If you don't give up your dignity and self-esteem, men will be easily moved." Princess Sun sighed deeply, as if she had been there before.
Yuan Qingling heard this and asked: "Did the second brother meet some domineering woman?"
Princess Sun raised her hand, looking disdainful of him, "He is a person who has nothing to do but eat. It's not him, it's the third child."
"Third brother King Wei?" Yuan Qing Ling was startled, "What's wrong with him?"
King Wei has always had a good reputation, and he and Princess Cui of Wei are considered a loving couple.
What's going on between the two of them?
"Last year, a woman came to the door and said that thanks to the life-saving grace of King Wei and his wife, she was willing to stay in the palace as a slave and maid to repay King Wei's great kindness. Princess Wei allowed her to stay, but she did not expect that this woman is pregnant now."
