Chapter 380 The barefooted are not afraid of wearing shoes
This pair of grandparents and grandsons who love each other, in just a few days, went from holding each other's hands and crying for each other, to a cold war and turning against each other, looking at each other with disgust, and quickly reached the current tit-for-tat relationship.
The old princess felt that no matter what she did, she had done her best to Yan Tingyue over the years. As a person, Yan Tingyue should be filial to anyone who was not filial to her. No beating, scolding, hard work or complaint would be enough to repay her for her kindness.
of favor.
But Yan Tingyue felt that her kindness to her had ulterior motives and calculations, and was not sincere at all... Now that she has been reduced to this situation, her face is torn, why should she be filial to her?
Besides, she is just counting the days and waiting for death. Why is she still serving such an old pious woman if she doesn't want to live happily ever after?
Yan Tingyue didn't originally want any children.
She had heard others say that if you put musk in your belly button, you would not get pregnant, but the incident happened so quickly. Before she could ask anyone to buy musk, she heard that something had happened to Yan Shiyue.
Fortunately, she didn't buy it. Now, she relies entirely on this child to survive in the world.
When the imperial doctor took out the Hua pulse yesterday, she was really relieved.
It's not that she didn't know that she would leave her mother alone in the future...but what could she do?
Anyway, she is barefoot now and is not afraid of wearing shoes. If she wants to make a scene, then come on!
New Year's Eve passed like this.
The next day, the old princess woke up from her nap, turned over, and was about to order tea.
But I heard several servants talking through the back window: "I heard that the fifth lady we found has been made a princess!"
The old princess stopped scolding her immediately and listened with wide eyes.
"Oh?" the servant said, "Why was she crowned the emperor's princess? Isn't Wu Niang a child of Prince An's palace? Even if the emperor likes her, it would be enough to make her a princess, but she can still be crowned the emperor's princess?"
"You don't know about this, right?" the servant said, "I heard that when the Yu Jian Department conducted a blood test, it was found that two pairs of blood relatives, the emperor and the imperial concubine, and the second master and his wife, are all her biological father and mother."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Of course, how dare I lie? The imperial edict has been issued, saying that this matter has never happened!"
"It seems that this Fifth Lady is really the Lady of Fortune..."
"Hush!" The man lowered his voice: "Of course it's the Lady of Fortune. How about this person in our house borrowing blessings to extend her life?"
He sighed, "Actually, let me tell you, this matter was done blindly. As an elder, you would be called unkind to the juniors like this. But if the juniors knew about this kind of thing first, they shouldn't take the initiative to ask for it.
Lend me your blessing? Otherwise, I can still watch my elders die of illness? Besides, if I borrow my blessing, won’t she still be alive and kicking? It won’t do any harm to her.”
"That's right. There are some things. It just depends on what to do. Our old princess is just too honest."
The old princess listened quietly.
I didn’t expect that little hooves that disturbed the family could have such great fortune!
She has been living in the back house all her life, and this kind of trick is what she is best at. Of course she can see that these two people were instigated by others to deliberately pass the message to her.
But so what? Since they mentioned the imperial edict, they weren’t lying!
What they said was right. If the younger generation knew that her illness was a blessing, they couldn't refuse at all! Not to mention that it was no harm to her, even if they asked her to give her life in exchange for hers, they couldn't refuse!
Otherwise it would be extremely unfilial!
How can a very unfilial person be the Queen of Fortune?
She should make good use of this matter. If she makes good use of it, it will not be difficult for her to return to the palace and enjoy honor again.
The old princess closed her eyes and began to calculate quietly.
…………
Life in the palace was, to be honest, not that great.
There are all kinds of rules and etiquette, and all kinds of idle chatter when meeting... Who would dare to believe that Emperor Ming Yan, who had a big court meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year and couldn't sleep in all year round? For such a high-risk and high-pressure profession, I don't know
Everyone wants to do it for whatever reason.
And the princess's side.
The only unmarried people in the palace are the sixth and seventh princesses. The eighth princess has no title and is younger than her.
After all, after acknowledging her ancestor and returning to the clan, her birth date was also clarified. She will be fifteen years old on August 15th this year.
The sixth princess is the same year as her, and her birthday is in December. The seventh princess is one year younger, and the eighth princess is only one year old, so it is ignored.
Six or seven people came to visit her together.
The first time they met, Yan Shiyue felt a little unhappy and decided not to see each other again.
After all, he is young, pampered, has not been beaten by life, and cannot hide his emotions very well.
The arrogance of self-reliance on status, the grievance of condescension, the disdain for her behavioral rules...combined with the deliberate affection and flattery on their faces formed two extremes, which were almost embarrassing to watch.
In fact, Emperor Ming Yan raised his sons carefully, but he didn't pay much attention to the princess.
After all, in this era, it is the responsibility of the matron to educate her daughters. Even among the people, the head of the family seldom cares about his daughters.
Extreme inferiority will give rise to extreme pride. If you are ignored for a long time, you will become more like to show off and be dignified and show off your airs.
Yan Shiyue was too lazy to argue with them, but she didn't like them either.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then her mother-in-law came to rescue her. Yan Shiyue went in and rushed over to hug her: "Mom, you are so awesome, how did you know that we can't talk and go together?
"
The imperial concubine shushed her and laughed softly: "No one can chat with them. Fortunately, there is no chance to talk more. Let's just deal with it."
She glanced at her and said with a smile: "You have been in the palace for these few days, just like a monkey on a rope. I was afraid that you couldn't help but have an attack on the spot, so I quickly asked someone to bring you here."
Mother!
Really, my dear mother! Have you ever said that about your daughter? She will be a person who will conquer the entire country in the future!
But Yan Shiyue had to admit that she was right.
She reluctantly stayed in the palace for one more night, and when Emperor Ming Yan was not around, she left the palace.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Deshan Garden was officially opened. Before the firecrackers were set off, guests were already pouring in.
In addition to idle and itchy dandies, many candidates from out of town came to the capital to participate in the subsequent examinations before and after.
At this time, there are various poetry gatherings, drinking parties, and hometown associations everywhere, so Deshan Garden, which has the word "Deshan" and mainly focuses on chess and card entertainment, and is relatively elegant, immediately became their first choice.
.
As soon as Yan Shiyue returned home, she found that there were many posts at home.
Many of them were invested by scholars from Qinzhou, some were given to her, some were given to Xu Wenqu, Tang Shirong, and even Huo Qiyang.
Neither Xu Wenqu nor Tang Shirong liked socializing, and even if they became officials in the future, they would not take the long-sleeved and dancing route, so they never attended such gatherings.
But Xu Wenqu luckily said that he stayed at home and did not go out. When Tang Shirong went to the Imperial Academy, he was actually stopped several times by people... and he refused to leave.
After all, transportation is inconvenient these days. We will try it once every three years. If you don’t get one out of ten, you will have to go back and wait for another three years. You can’t blame these people for trying every possible way to make a profit. (To be continued)
