At the Du Family, Du Su's family once told her about a family in the Wu Li Manor, where the woman went to work and was insulted. The woman went home without crying or hanging herself, and instead told her husband the truth about her husband. If the sky collapsed on her husband's side, she would die, but if it did not collapse, she might have a chance, and the result was that her husband forgave her. Du Su's plan was to tell Wei Zhao that before the matter came to an end, he mustn't be discouraged and lose the courage to live, "No matter when or what the circumstances are, you'll always be able to think of living well. This is mother's good daughter." Now that Wei Zhao thought of it, that story was probably made up by the Du Family. They were open and unrestrained in Yan Guo, but on the whole, they still considered it beautiful for the women to be demure and well-mannered. However, the mother's feelings were real. She just wanted her child to be fine.
Choosing a good outcome for all parties in a conditional environment was the wish she most wanted to fulfil.
Unfortunately, this wish was the most difficult to realize.
The Du Family was destined to experience the pain of losing her, and now they only hoped that the four year old children would be able to bring enough comfort to the two elders.
Qing He 30 years of spring, the Pu family's remnant evils took advantage of Princess travel to assassinate, the Third Princess Accompanied by Du Weizhao to save the princess was stabbed twice, the treatment was ineffective, died at the age of only nine, Qing He Di Huai and his family, gave his mother the title of filial wife, and recognized Wei Zhao's virtue.
In the same year, Emperor Qinghe led Princess Ruyi to announce that Princess Ruyi was a princess.
After all, in the past few years, the Emperor had already made a point of taking the princess as his daughter, and everyone had seen her for themselves. Besides, the imperial physician had already made a diagnosis long ago, and it would be better to spend the rest of his life recuperating in peace.
The next day, the imperial edict conferred the title of Imperial Consort to the deceased Imperial Consort. The court official did not object. Imperial Consort Fu was already dead, so there was no need for her to waste money or arrange a grand ceremony. It was just an imperial edict, and the court officials were finally aware of the benefits of Jia Feng's death. If Imperial Concubine Fu was still alive, for the sake of the princess' face, His Majesty might even confer the title of Imperial Consort.
Near the outskirts of Pingxian, in front of a new grave, Du Su's family burned the paper horse with tears and murmured, "Mother originally wanted to buy a little girl for you when you grew up and also let my sister live the life of a young lady. All these years, mother has always regretted sending you to the palace. "Don't be afraid. When mother dies, bury her body next to my sister. Mother will definitely protect you in your next life. I won't make you suffer anymore."
Xue Shaoyun walked back to his room in a daze.
"Didn't second master go to pay respects to the old master and his wife? Why did he return so quickly?" The wife in charge of the house was the eldest girl, Lan Xiang, who had served in front of Lady Xue. She had married the year before last, and was known as the Li family. Lan Xiang had watched Xue Ji Yun grow up, and knew that this young master was the most lonely. Seeing his expression right now, she didn't dare to ask anymore questions. She quickly gave a look to her underlings, then went to wash up and set down some food.
Xue Ning Yun stood in the room and let Lan Xiang pull him. The warm water slightly brought him back to reality. He struggled to get out of the water and wordlessly went to his study.
His mind was filled with the laments of his mother and father. "What a pity, Sister Zhao. She was born well, is smart and intelligent, and even I like her, but I didn't expect her to actually help protect the princess …" "Big brother Yun has been lonely since he was young, but he likes to play around with her. I had originally thought …" He didn't finish his sentence, only letting out a deep sigh.
"He helped the princess avert disaster …" [That's right. Isn't it just a princess with eight characters who accompanied her to the palace? Princess …]
A pot of white magnolia in front of the window was growing in a white flawless porcelain pot. It was ready to bloom and had yet to open.
Sometimes the flowers would bloom, but he couldn't wait for her to turn twenty-five.
When Ju Xiang and her men had finished preparing the meal, Lady Xue realized that Big Cloud had not arrived yet.
"Let's go see Second Master."
"Yes!" The little girl at the door answered. She didn't get far before she saw Xue Junyun striding towards her and hurriedly knelt down to greet him. Second Master turned a blind eye to her and quickly got up.
Xue Duanjing had already sat down, and Xue Qianyun respectfully saluted. Madam Xue affectionately said, "Eat your food."
Xue's great-grandfather was one of the founding fathers of the Yan Dynasty. He had made his fortune in military exploits, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Changping. It was a pity that most of the children and grandchildren were mediocre. Although he was a big family, he could not be compared to the second family, but he had two promising sons, the eldest, High Scholar Xue Mingrui. His wife, Lady Yao, was the daughter of his master, and they were waiting for the imperial court to begin its proper practice before taking part in the examination. Xue Chaoyun had been intelligent since he was young, and his age was as small as a jade. Although he had a somewhat cold and proud temperament, he did not have an overbearing aura. He looked even more powerful than his big brother when he was young.
After the family had finished their meal, Xue Zhengjing was taught a few lessons before he gently asked, "Master Wu, you've come back from Beijing. Are you going to practice martial arts with me tomorrow morning, or with Master Wu?" Even though he was no longer the marquis, his martial arts skills could not be left behind. In the future, Xue Qianyun would take part in the college exams, the country exams, and the assembly tests, without a good body, which was already delayed a bit by the eldest son, whose former age was good and health was not good, and who stayed in Ping County for a period of time. His body was actually getting stronger every day, so he respectfully told Xue Qiuyun some martial arts skills, which seemed to be very effective in the past few years.
Xue Ning Yun stood in the middle of the room and looked at his mother, then said to his father, "Your son wishes to formally take Master Wu as his master."
When Lady Xue heard this and was about to speak, she was stopped by Xue Duanjing's hand. He looked at his son anxiously. It was one thing to practice martial arts with Master Wu, but after paying respects to Master Wu, should they take the martial arts exam or something? Not to mention the peace of the country, even if the country was not peaceful, she didn't want her son to fight and kill all day.
"It's not impossible to be under Master Wu's tutelage, but I want to know your plan. Do you want to focus on practicing martial arts, or do you want to focus on literature and attend the Academy Competition two years from now?"
"My son is still a scholar."
She left her parents and went back to her study. A picture of a plum blossom hung on the east wall of the study, with only four budding plum blossoms. He had personally drawn that plum blossom and cut it out with scissors. Everyone in the study knew that it was Second Master's treasure and couldn't easily touch it.
Although she was unwilling, Mrs. Xue still prepared things for the ceremony. She knelt down respectfully on the ground and handed over a letter, kowtow, and a cup of tea.
Although Master Wu was a general of the Xue Clan, he had great talent in martial arts. If it wasn't for the fact that Xue Xianyun had good roots, he wouldn't have been willing to do so. Earlier, when Xue Zhengjing didn't mention it, he had hinted that the Second Master had good bones, but Xue Zhengjing had chuckled at the time, so Master Wu could only laugh.
As the Third Princess had originally lived in the main hall of the Eastern Palace, she didn't need to move after becoming a daughter. She still lived in the Hall of Huazhi, which meant that her items had been replaced with a variety of accessories.
The bestowal ceremony was extremely grand. Tutor Wang often bestowed the title of first rank Crown Prince Grand Tutor, while Tutor Qian bestowed the title of first rank Crown Prince Grand Tutor. Zhou Xuan became the commander of the Eastern Palace guards, and Lin mama became a seventh rank official. The four bamboos were still the maids of the East Palace. Originally, the princess wanted them to each take a position as a female official. In any case, she could decide on the positions in the Eastern Palace, such as Si Le, Pian, Si Xiang and Si Jiu. Only Du Xi, who was not fond of writing and did not like martial arts (she did not want to train her muscles), had taken on the post of a teacher, which was to say, a title.
Tian, Zhao, Yue, and Jiang came to celebrate with gifts. Emissary Jiang specially sent a letter from King Jiang, which Emperor Qing He handed over to his daughter.
"Your … Your Highness, I heard that the sixth prince of Jiang Country is deeply loved by King Jiang. Is that true?" Ever since the Third Princess had helped her a few years ago, Xu Lin had gradually opened her heart to her. In her heart, she was extremely dependent on her, and she would do anything she wanted to help her.
Zhu Ru Yi, the princess of Yan Kingdom, smiled when she heard this. "You've heard of it, and yet you're still asking me."
If I had two things, a beloved one and a casual one, I wouldn't have taken out the one I loved first." Ji Panpan was now a small female official in the Eastern Palace. She knew quite a lot about helping Lin mama, but she was a good girl who liked to be straightforward. Ru Yi felt that this was also the reason why Lin mama liked her.
"Whether you like it or not, it's true that Prince Jiang is capable." King Jiang had used a thousand horses in exchange for Jiang Liu's reputation as a student of Yan City. In other words, when Prince Jiang Liu came to exchange knowledge, he was exchanging students, not protons. To be able to tell King Jiang to give up a thousand horses, this prince was worthy of their attention. What they valued wasn't his identity, but his scheming ability. It seemed that the more children King Jiang had, the better it would be. Those who wanted to advance, would naturally make a living.
The red bamboo still didn't change its gossiping habits, "I wonder how this Prince Jiang looks like?"
Zhu Ruyi did not reply, but instead said, "At the palace banquet tomorrow, Grand Princess Jing Yan's health is not good, and she will not be able to make it here. Tomorrow, an old man from General Xuan De's estate will be coming over. She's already old, so Ji Panpan told Lin mama that she'll have two servants come over to serve her. " This year, he was also in his sixties, and was conferred the title of Princess Jingyan. She and the Prince Consort had a deep relationship, and the Prince Consort had always been widowed after his death and had no children, so the withering of the royal family was also true. Zhu Ru Yi didn't even have a close relative.
The various female officials and domestic servants in the Eastern Palace only interacted with each other in the Eastern Palace. Apart from the head bodyguards, therefore, it was none other than Zhu Ru Yi who was to serve in the Eastern Palace.
Red Bamboo and Ji Panpan hurriedly agreed. As for the rest of the women, they weren't important to the woman. They had their own Lin mama to receive them according to the rules.
