Chapter 608: Foregone conclusion
Realizing the plan of Marquis Zhongyi, Mrs. Duanmu even felt chills all over her body. This was too much. You must know that the royal family is no better than the common people, but even for ordinary common people, the main wife who has a legitimate son will not be forgivable unless she has committed something unforgivable.
Mistake, otherwise it cannot be given up easily.
If it really comes to the point where she insists on divorcing her wife without even caring about her legitimate son, then this woman will be sent to a temple to be imprisoned for the rest of her life, even if she is not imprisoned in a pig cage.
And the royal family didn't even talk about divorcing their wives. Most of them were done with a piece of white silk. The idea of Zhongyi Houfu was no different from killing people. Why didn't he think through it from the beginning?
While Mrs. Duanmu was in a daze, Mrs. Jin once again pressed Su Yiqing and asked her whether Prince Ding's Palace should give an explanation to Marquis Zhongyi.
The anger in Su Yiqing's heart kept rising, but she knew that the angrier she became, the more she had to stay rational to avoid suffering a loss. She pinched the palm of her hand hard, and after calming down, she slowly said: "What do you think the old lady should do to Zhongyi?"
An explanation from the Marquis? Even if it is according to what the old concubine said, the prince is eager to save people. How can I say this? He shouldn't bear any responsibility, right?"
"I didn't say that Yufeng was guilty, but..." Mrs. Jin lengthened her voice and showed a weird smile, "I think back then, when Yufeng was ordered to go to Dajing as an envoy, he encountered similar people.
Things, it is said that a general in Dajing at that time also
In order to save Princess Baozhen during the attack, she had a physical relationship with Baozhen... I think Princess Ding must have heard of this, right? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Since Yufeng thinks this matter is
It should be, so I don’t need to tell you how to explain it, right?”
Mentioning the past, Su Yiqing pinched herself hard again, and then said softly: "I heard the prince mentioned this matter, and the prince was quite regretful about it. He was young at the time and did not think carefully about some things. An accident
The wrong marriage created caused a tragedy. After thinking about it, the prince is even more aware that such a reluctant marriage will only harm others and himself."
"How is this the same?" Old Concubine Jin didn't expect Su Yiqing to be so eloquent. In addition, she didn't know if Lian Yufeng had really said similar things, and she couldn't bring him to confront him. Even if they did, he would still have to pay back what the couple said in the boudoir.
Can't refute, the most important thing
In fact, the two marriages at that time both ended in tragedy. After Baozhen returned to China, she was imprisoned in the ancestral temple because she had insulted the national system, and she never came out again. Princess Dajing, who was married to Lian Yufeng, was even stolen.
The catastrophe involved no one in life and no body in death, which was particularly disgraceful.
"How is it different? They are all marriages that were made out of necessity." Su Yiqing looked at Old Concubine Jin pretending to be puzzled, "Marriage, especially, cannot be forced. Two people have to get along for a lifetime, so they cannot be forced."
"Although Zhongyi Houfu is a noble family, the young lady in their family has upheld the family motto since childhood and abided by the three obediences and four virtues. Starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal." Mrs. Jin glanced at Su Yiqing as she spoke and added, "
This is different from your family of military commanders. Besides, Miss Rong is both talented and beautiful, and she is a perfect match for Yu Feng."
The outsiders present, including the palace maids and eunuchs, all seemed to be watching a good show. After all, this matter had nothing to do with them. Watching others make fools of themselves was a pleasure for some people, especially those with low status, who not only had no regard for the weak,
He has no sympathy and likes to see the weak being bullied.
It is already a great disgrace for a wife to say that her husband is a good match for other women. Faced with the insult from Mrs. Jin, Su Yiqing became calmer and said: "I also believe in the Marquis Zhongyi.
The family tradition is rigorous, and Miss Houfu is extremely well-educated."
This brief sentence made Youshi blush a little. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she still had a sense of shame. Her behavior today could not be called kind. Besides, even a high-class concubine was still a concubine after all. It was really not too honorable.
, if she was not plotting for the future, how could she endure her daughter being so wronged? But now that it was clearly pointed out, she was even more embarrassed, especially since Princess Ding looked at her when she spoke, and the irony was even more obvious.
Although Youshi was angry, she still maintained a smile on her face and nodded slightly towards Mrs. Jin, seemingly hinting at something.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jin's next sentence was: "Since Princess Ding is doubtful about this matter, let Prince Ding come over and explain it clearly to see if it is a forced marriage."
Even though Su Yiqing had been through strong winds and waves, she was still shocked when she heard Mrs. Jin's suggestion in front of everyone, and her brows could not help but frown slightly.
Judging from the expressions of these people, they seemed sure that Lian Yufeng would agree. Did they reach any agreement in advance? Before coming, she once asked Lian Yufeng what Queen Ni's purpose was in meeting her. Lian Yufeng was a little vague, so he
It was said to be an ordinary banquet, but she felt something was wrong at that time. No matter what, it had to be revealed. This was Empress Ni's main purpose. Even Yu Feng was so well-informed, it was impossible that she couldn't catch it at all.
Could it be that he was hiding it from her on purpose, or that he didn't know how to speak?
According to Mrs. Jin, history is repeating itself. The people of Zhongyi Marquis bring old events to bear on each other. It is difficult for Lian Yufeng to refuse. If he goes too far, he will completely offend Zhongyi Marquis for a marriage.
Forging such a sworn enemy is very uneconomical for Lian Yufeng, who has serious plans in the court.
Thinking of this possibility, Su Yiqing felt a chill in her heart, but she still didn't believe that Lian Yufeng would really be like this. With his intelligence, he would definitely come up with a solution to both problems.
A palace maid went outside to send a message, and soon the eunuch sent a message, "To the concubine, Prince Ding is already outside."
Mrs. Jin said calmly: "Although there are only women here, we are all relatives. There is no need to be rigid. Please come in, Prince Ding."
Lian Yufeng walked in slowly, and his intoxicating grace made all the women present, regardless of their age, follow his figure involuntarily. Su Yiqing was no exception, but her heart sank little by little. Lian Yufeng
Ever since I entered the palace, my eyes have not moved away, and I have never even glanced here.
After saluting, Mrs. Jin ordered someone to give her a seat, and then asked with a kind smile: "Yu Feng, long time no see, you have always been kind."
Lian Yufeng smiled slightly: "Thanks to the old concubine, it's quite good."
"I remember when I first met you, you were so tall that you couldn't even walk unsteadily. Your grandmother took you into the palace with you. Time flies so fast. A few decades have passed. At that time, I didn't even have a white hair.
My hair is all white now." Mrs. Jin sighed as she recalled the past.
"The old concubine still looks the same as before, she doesn't look older." Lian Yufeng comforted her.
"You guys can make me, an old woman, happy. I know that I am old, and other women at my age have four generations of children living under the same roof..." Mrs. Jin said and changed the subject, "But don't
A man of your age, and his son is about to get married, so you should work harder, for having more sons is a blessing."
"That's what the old concubine said." Lian Yufeng replied with a smile.
Mrs. Jin added: "Just now I mentioned to your wife about Miss Zhongyi Marquis. Your wife may have some misunderstandings. Why don't you tell me your intention while everyone is here, whether you are willing to marry Marquis Zhongyi.
The lady of the house? Don’t force it.”
At that moment, Su Yiqing couldn't help but stare at Lian Yufeng. Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still hoped for a little surprise.
"If Miss Rong doesn't feel wronged, it's my blessing." Lian Yufeng answered without hesitation.
A simple sentence defeated all Su Yiqing's hopes. She didn't look at anyone else's expression and only slowly lowered her eyes.
Mrs. Duanmu couldn't bear it for a while, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't have the right to speak at this moment.
Mrs. Jin smiled with satisfaction and said: "In this case, while everyone is here, this matter has been settled. Although it is wronged to allow Miss Fifth to resign herself to the position of concubine, the due etiquette must still be observed.
…”
Su Yiqing couldn't listen to a word of what these people said next, she just thought it was ridiculous. She really took herself seriously, thinking that they would try their best to set up some complicated trap to make her annoyed. What happened?
Or do rights and interests trump everything else?
No one wants to listen to her opinions seriously. Of course, it would be nice if she could understand her own interests and let everyone happily continue to wear that hypocritical mask. But if she doesn't know how to flatter her, it doesn't matter. No one has to.
Ask her for permission.
In this case, Su Yiqing won't have to worry about it anymore and just do whatever these people want.
Probably seeing that Su Yiqing's expression was really wrong, Mrs. Jin Youshi and others had achieved their goal, so they didn't ask any more questions, lest this concubine who was born in a humble background and grew up in the countryside would say something embarrassing and make everyone look bad.
Can't hang on.
In the end, Queen Ni never appeared again, and the people present didn't care.
Su Yiqing didn't know how she left the palace. She couldn't listen to what Mrs. Jin, Youshi and others said in the end. She only knew that all this seemed to have nothing to do with her, and it didn't matter what she thought.
important.
Everything is a foregone conclusion.
Prince Ding's Mansion will soon have a happy event, marrying a noble concubine, and the mistress of Prince Ding's Mansion is just a decoration in that splendid mansion. In fact, she has not been without feelings all along.
, it’s just that sometimes there is always a glimmer of hope, even if I know that it is a luxury hope and cannot be realized.
She can tolerate anything, but she can never tolerate sharing a husband with other women. Even if Yufeng has other women outside, she doesn't know, but it's okay, but she feels that as long as she doesn't pursue it, those women will not appear in front of her.
