Princess Anfeng said: "If Concubine Xian doesn't make trouble, the wedding will go smoothly and everyone will be happy. But if Concubine Xian makes trouble... the princess will get married and her mother will curse. There will be chaos outside. What is this? Nowadays,
The emperor's embarrassment was that he couldn't kill the concubine before the princess got married. He always felt sorry for his daughter and was unwilling to get into trouble, and he couldn't mess with the etiquette. If the concubine died, the princess had to keep her filial piety. The only way was to do it first
Dragging.”
Yuan Qing Lingxin said: How can it be delayed? Now the emperor can't wait to make the fourth master his son-in-law. If the fourth master had not had the idea of getting married, he would not be anxious for a while, but it happened that the fourth master had this idea and remained calm.
Yan actually gave him a stack of lists. Those who could talk to Calm Yan were all high-ranking people.
Why is the emperor not in a hurry? Is he afraid that the fourth master will gain influence after marrying a high-ranking official in the capital?
As Lao Wu said, whether you can take advantage of Fourth Master is another matter. But you must firmly grasp it in your hands. Only then can you be sure of nothing.
Therefore, the marriage must not be delayed, and Concubine Xian probably knew this. She knew that the emperor would not kill the princess before her marriage, so she decided to give it a go and try to seize the position of imperial concubine and cultivate the power of the Su family.
Yuan Qingling sighed in her heart. The game between these high-ranking people was so ruthless that she thought it was a good marriage.
"If you don't agree, the emperor will probably ask Lao Wu to go to other places for business. However, in this way, the relationship between father and son will deteriorate." Princess Anfeng said.
Yuan Qing Ling thought about it again and again and said: "If there is really no other way, then this is the only way. The Queen Mother has persuaded Concubine Xian, and Lao Wu has also tried to persuade her. If even you can't persuade me tonight, then there is really nothing else."
There's a way out."
Princess Anfeng said: "Now everyone wants to save her life, but she can't help but keep wanting to hit her with a knife."
Yes, in fact, Concubine Xian is very annoying, but because she is Lao Wu's biological mother, many people want to save her life, but she herself is unwilling. Who can do anything?
In the distance, there was the sound of firecrackers, crackling loudly. What kind of waves and undercurrents were under the peaceful and prosperous age?
After the dinner in the evening, Yu Wenhao asked people to send Yuan Qingling and her children back to their home first. He could not leave yet. He was the prince. Although he did not live in the East Palace, he had to stay in the palace. Not only him, many princes and princes also stayed.
Arrived very late.
Yuan Qingling took the child back to the house. Grandma hadn't eaten yet and was waiting for her to come back.
She asked the wet nurse to take the baby to bed, and then she came out after wiping her face.
"You don't have to wait for me, aren't you hungry?" Yuan Qingling's eyes suddenly warmed when she saw the steaming meals on the table. They were all home-cooked and delicious side dishes, which grandma was good at cooking.
Grandma Yuan pulled her to sit down, looked at her and sighed softly, "Grandma must wait for you and have this New Year's Eve dinner with you. The year you had the accident, every household was setting off firecrackers and watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year.
, we were all reunited, but our house was deserted and no one even talked to each other. That night, your mother cried all night long. When you woke up the next day, your mother's eyes were swollen and her nose was stuffy.
I was speechless. Someone came over to pay New Year greetings. Your mother said she had a cold. When she said this, her tears fell and she hurried back to the room to hide. "
Yuan Qingling's nose felt sore and she couldn't help crying. Nostalgia and family kindness were always the biggest pain in her heart.
Grandma Yuan took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and looked at her kindly, "Don't cry, just be together. They know your current situation, and you will definitely have a good year this year. Come on, don't cry, don't cry,
Make a New Year’s wish.”
Yuan Qing's cry turned into a smile. When she was young, her grandma would always ask her and her brother to make wishes during the New Year's Eve dinner, saying that their wishes would come true on the first day of the new year.
When I was a child, my wishes were nothing more than food and fun. My grandma would prepare them in advance and dress up as Santa Claus to give them gifts on the first day of the new year.
What a happy childhood, it’s a pity that we can never go back.
"Quickly, make a wish!" Grandma urged.
Yuan Qingling clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and recited a few words silently in her heart, hoping to see her parents and brother again in her lifetime.
She opened her eyes and saw her grandma looking at her with earnest eyes, "What wish did you make?"
Yuan Qingling smiled and said: "I made a big wish. I hope that when I get up early tomorrow, I can eat glutinous rice balls made by grandma."
Grandma Yuan smiled, "That can definitely be achieved."
The grandfather and grandson started to eat. Yuan Qingling was not full in the palace, so she deliberately left half of her stomach to eat with her grandma. After talking to Princess Anfeng, she was even more in no mood to eat, so when she saw
These delicious and hot meals will whet your appetite immediately.
After eating, the grandfather and grandson sat under the lamp and chatted, talking about happy things in the past. Sometimes, under certain festivals and atmosphere, they would feel even more homesick.
Yuan Qingling had a dream at night. She dreamed that she went back to the Chinese New Year when she was a child. Her mother bought her a new down, a bright red one. She put it on, but found that the down was dripping with blood.
Her body felt like needles pricking her body, so she cried hard and asked her mother to help her take off the down. Her mother ran over to help her, but she couldn't take it off. The down wrapped her tightly around her, and there were many slivers growing in it.
The needle pierced into her flesh, and her mother hugged her and cried together.
"Yuan, wake up!" Someone called softly in her ear with an anxious tone. She felt a pair of hands hugging her and warm lips covering her. She gradually felt the pain of the needle prick disappear.
It's Lao Wu.
She slowly opened her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be extremely heavy. When she opened her eyes, she only saw a figure shaking outside her eyes, and then closed them again.
She still fell into a dream, but the bloody down was no longer in the dream. She dreamed of standing on the other side of the river, with Lao Wu watching her from a distance. She wanted to go there, but there was no bridge or boat on the river, so she just watched helplessly.
Watching Lao Wu plunge into the river to swim over.
She sat on the bank and waited. The wind was very strong and cold. The flowers and plants on the river bank had changed color. The sun hid behind the clouds, and the sky suddenly became gray.
She waited for a long time, but did not wait until Lao Wu got up from the river.
Her heart actually felt very calm, as if she knew where Lao Wu was, so she took off her shoes and walked down to the river. The water slowly soaked into her waist, chest, and neck, until the cold water filled her mouth and nose.
My heart is still calm.
Her breath was taken away from her chest, and the strong pressure forced her to breathe.
Then, suddenly, someone hugged her waist and rose into the sky. The air suddenly came back. She took a deep breath, the pressure in her chest disappeared, and someone touched her face.
She opened her eyes, the light was dim, and what came into view was Lao Wu's anxious face and his red eyes.
"You're finally awake!" His voice became even more choked, and he held her tightly with both hands.
