Fortunately, both of them had their heads buried, so no one saw them.
After he kowtowed, Su Mu Qing picked up a piece of paper beside him, lit it up with a candle, and threw it into the metal basin.
He passed some to Jiang Wanyan, and the two of them knelt side by side, not saying a word.
Halfway through the paper, Jiang Wanyan thought that this silence would at least last until it was over. Unexpectedly, Su Mu Qing suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Didn't you always want to know about my mother? I'll tell you now. "
"Now?" Jiang Wanyan was a little shocked. Did he have to say all this in front of the tablet?
However, Su Mu Qing was not afraid. He nodded, and his eyes reflected the flames as he said, "My mother's mother, the Wei family, is one of the three great families in the Xia Kingdom. Their power in the Xia Kingdom is great, so my mother has always had people that we want to enter the palace for."
"My grandfather was the current emperor's teacher of enlightenment, and after ignoring politics, my grandfather replaced him. At that time, the Wei family was the most illustrious family in the Xia Kingdom, and countless people tried their best to get close to them." Su Muqing paused and sat up straighter. "And at that time, the Emperor was still young. He was in need of the Wei family the most, so he always gave them authority."
When Grandfather and Grandfather sent my mother to the palace, the empress dowager was very unhappy. She felt that my mother was an explosive the Wei family sent to the Emperor's side, so for various reasons, the empress dowager promoted my Wen Family's daughter to the palace. Because my mother's mother's family was the Wei family, when we entered the palace, we sealed the Imperial Consort Shu. At this point, Su Mu Qing suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Wan Yan and chuckled, "My mother is very beautiful."
These words were said randomly, causing Jiang Wanyan, who was completely focused on listening to the story, to be confused, "Ah?"
Seeing that she had gone stupid, Su Mu Qing suddenly grinned. "You're also very beautiful."
This time, Jiang Wanyan's face turned completely red, and she immediately lowered her head and said, "I'm talking about serious matters! No one can flourish to the extreme, and then what! "
Su Mu Qing smiled for a while before restraining his smile. "The daughter of the Wen Family entered the palace and only gave a small title of nobility, and it was even given under the insistence of the empress dowager. At that time, the Wen Family wasn't considered a big family, but because he was friends with the empress dowager's family, the empress dowager favored his."
"I heard from the seniors in the palace that when my mother first entered the palace, His Majesty really liked her. At that time, he doted on her a lot, and young emperors and beautiful concubines always had many possibilities of stories. It's not going to kill her. " Su Mu Qing took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
He had never stayed behind to call anyone his father. In his heart, that man who was so high and mighty was not his father, but the Emperor.
"Su Muchang was not born easy. At that time, the empress dowager did not want to have a child with the bloodline of the Wei family, and she kept indulging the concubine in dealing with my mother. It took a lot of effort before she was born, and the emperor really liked it. Su Mu Qing laughed mockingly, "Therefore, mother also has high hopes for Su Muchang, and sincerely hopes that he can do as the Emperor wishes."
"With the first one, I never thought of having another one." "Perhaps it's an accident. My mother has me again, and the imperial physician at that time said that I'm a girl, that's why I signed up. I was born in a daze, and the only one that didn't understand it was a boy."
"At that time, the Wei family should have been in its prime. Possessing two princes would make it seem as if they were above the status of one man and tens of thousands of people." Su Mu Qing paused for a moment and looked at the tablet in front of him. "However, prosperity and decline are the destinies that every dynasty cannot escape."
"The Emperor's wings are already full, so naturally he can't tolerate the Wei family being so powerful. He began to favor the Imperial Consort Wen, and intentionally or unintentionally, he drove them away. "These things are mostly told to me by the nuns. A few years ago, Qing Yi also found a few fragments, and even if they were pieced together, the truth of that year could only be infinitely close. If I really wanted to know, it would be almost impossible, at that time I was still too young. I can't protect anyone. "
What happened that year. Perhaps only those few people in the palace would know. However, everyone had their own opinions and opinions. What others saw and what they thought might not be true. In the end, too many people's emotions were mixed in.
It was almost impossible to truly restore what happened back then. However, a few major events should have been mild.
Jiang Wanyan did not interrupt, but waited until Su Mu Qing had slightly calmed down before he continued, "The Wei family is weakened, and the crime is that our mother deliberately murdered the dragon embryo. We can't find out what happened exactly, but the cause of the Wei family's destruction is indeed this."
"How much the empress dowager participated in? How much the emperor participated in? And how much the Wen Family participated in? I don't know. At that time, my mother definitely didn't know either. No one listened to her excuses, so the emperor doesn't believe her." Su Mu Qing's voice lowered, "Perhaps he knew that my mother was innocent, but he deliberately planned to do so."
After that, in order to pacify Wen Family, or perhaps to reward Wen Family, the Emperor ascended to Imperial Consort Wen as his concubine, and the Wen Family was promoted as a matter of course, receiving a share of the Wei family's spoils.
Su Mu Qing was still young, so all of her hopes rested with Su Muchang. The emperor liked Su Muchang so much, she hoped that Su Muchang could take back her favour, and restore the Wei family's decline.
Because he was afraid of losing, because he was in a hurry to gain benefits, Imperial Consort Shu often scolded Su Muchang, hoping that he would be able to do the best.
It was also around that time that Su Muchang was very close with Wen Ye.
"Qingyi found out that Wen Family knew about the change in my mother's mood at the time. He intentionally approached Su Muchang to get close to him and treated him extremely well. At that time, the mother often scolded him harshly, and the concubine said the mother did it because she loved me. " As the light in the Ancestral Hall gradually dimmed, Jiang Wan Yan felt that his body was a little cold, "This is probably the reason why after this, when a concubine is unable to bear children, Su Muchang is actually willing to be raised by a concubine."
