Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 62 Please enter the urn (four)

Xia Qiuling didn't think too much about it and surrendered directly. She also answered Ruan Wei's question without hesitation.

"Master Marquis naturally has old grudges with Master Yu, because Master Marquis's wife, Princess Danyang, had a long-term relationship with Master Yu in those days."

Xia Qiuling said, Ruan Wei choked on a sip of tea.

Ruan Wei's knowledge is not short, but this inside story really made her a little stunned.

That's the Queen's father, Concubine Ming's mother?

The husband and wife of Mrs. Yu are deeply in love. Even if Mrs. Yu has not come out for a long time, Mrs. Yu will not leave, and has never taken a concubine.

Ruan Wei also witnessed how affectionate they were, and she really didn't believe it. She looked at Xia Qiuling suspiciously, trying to find some signs of lying on her face.

Xia Qiuling said in detail: "They have mutual affection, but the late emperor gave the eldest princess Danyang and Xiahou a marriage, and the eldest princess Danyang can only marry according to the holy will."

"At first, the newlyweds were strangers to each other, but they were still respectful."

"Until, the emperor gave Lord Yu a marriage."

"Eldest Princess Danyang went to the Yu Mansion to make a scene, and Lord Yu promised her that she and his wife would just follow the holy will to get married, and there would be no real marriage, so Princess Danyang stopped."

Hearing this, Ruan Wei suddenly remembered that Mrs. Yu had been out of nowhere for many years, and only had a daughter after a long time. Could this be because she never practiced the truth of husband and wife?

Xia Qiuling continued: "But you know what happened later. Lord Yu finally accepted his wife. They gave birth to the queen, and a few years later gave birth to the young son Yu."

Ruan Wei was puzzled: "Even so, Xiahou can't blame the adults."

Xia Qiuling nodded: "After Madam Yu became pregnant, Princess Danyang became a mad woman. She was looking for life and death, not letting Lord Marquis have a happy birthday, beating and scolding the Lord Hou at every turn, and seeking trouble for Madam Yu several times, all of which were taken by her. Yu-sama stopped me."

"There was a lot of fuss about this. At that time, many people knew that Marquis was depressed and felt ashamed, but he couldn't take the Danyang Princess. Over time, a strong resentment developed in his heart."

"These, after all, are royal scandals. Everyone knows it, but they don't dare to spread it out."

"Even at the time of the Huainan Plague, the eldest princess Danyang packed her bags in the mansion and was going to go to Huainan. The Hou Ye planned to make her sick, so she didn't go. Now the eldest princess Danyang is probably still ill."

Xia Qiuling was afraid that she would not believe her, so she continued: "Your Majesty, you have to ask the old officials from 20 years ago, you can always find out about those things."

Ruan Wei thought thoughtfully: "If this is the case, Master Yu must know it, but why did he tell the Empress that he has no old grudges with the Marquis?"

Xia Qiuling didn't find it strange: "This is not a glorious thing, especially since the queen came from Mrs. Yu, how could Mrs. Yu be willing to tell her daughter about her past with other women?"

It is.It is not necessary to tell these inner stories. Lord Yu naturally thinks that he knows what he has in mind, and the queen is also alert. This is enough.

Xia Qiuling added: "Master Hou said that he hates adults so much because Master Yu is not innocent. On the eve of his departure to Huainan, Master Yu took the initiative to meet Princess Danyang. Just this matter, Master Hou thinks , In those years, if Lord Yu had a seduction that seemed like nothing, it would make Princess Danyang unable to let go."

Ruan Wei opened her mouth, subconsciously trying to refute, but finally closed her mouth.

No, Yu adults are not like that kind of person.

What good is hanging a crazy woman?No, it will only stink his own reputation. This kind of detrimental to others should not be done by adults.

If Mr. Yu sees Princess Danyang, I am afraid it is not for reminiscing about the old days, but to talk about other important matters.

But what is the important thing that must be said in person?
It may not be Lord Yu who took the initiative to make an appointment. How can Xia Hou know who made the appointment?
These are not answers that can be answered by thinking hard. Ruan Wei pulled back her thoughts, looked at her and said, "Why did Lord Hou tell you this?"

Xia Qiuling's eyes narrowed: "Master Hou can trust your concubine."

"I can trust you, and there's no need to tell you this," Ruan Wei's exploratory eyes swept across her face.

"I heard what the people in Hou's mansion said." Xia Qiuling changed her words again.

Ruan Wei smiled and said, "This not only hurts Xiahou's face, but also smears the deeds of the eldest princess, which one of you who is destined to tell you?"

Xia Qiuling stopped breathing when she asked.

Ruan Wei tilted her head and asked tentatively, "Did Xiahou's eldest son tell you?"

When Concubine Ming described Xia Qiuling, she said that family ugliness should not be made public. What is family ugliness?Family is involved.

Xiahou and Princess Danyang are pregnant with two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son has a reputation for being wild and arrogant, and the second son is gentle and polite, and if he can have a little affection with a dancer, it is most likely the eldest son Xia Yong.

Ruan Wei had heard that Concubine Ming was very dependent on the two older brothers. She didn't think about it before, but now, she naturally thinks about it.

Concubine Ming had such a mother, and her father lived such a depressing and annoyed life that she would not care much about their children.

Concubine Ming, who lacked the love of her parents, was taken care of by her two older brothers since she was a child.

If my brother is suddenly fascinated by another woman, Concubine Ming will have a feeling of being robbed of my brother.

Therefore, Concubine Ming said that Xia Qiuling, who stole her brother, was a slut.

Of course, this is all wild speculation.

But when Xia Qiuling heard the words "eldest son", her expression was obviously startled, and the panic was evident on her face.

What are you afraid of? It's just that the experience of having a romantic relationship with others will fall into the ears of the emperor.

Ruan Wei is well-mannered, but she still couldn't help laughing.

"What's the panic, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Who hasn't had a green emperor yet?

Ruan Wei looked at her uneasy face, her words changed suddenly, and she asked: "So Xiahou passed his hatred on to the queen and sent you to compete with the queen for favor. Is it just for favor? What else did he ask you to do?"

Xia Qiuling shook his head: "Master Hou only asked his concubine to please the emperor, and he didn't give any orders."

Ruan Wei pondered, this is not impossible.Xia Qiuling is not stupid, she can cleverly capture hearsay information and make full use of it, but she is not clever either.

The most obvious point is that Xia Qiuling has such a face, but she doesn't seem to know what she is favored by, and she dares to disrespect the queen and shout with the queen.

Could it be that she really thinks that the emperor just hates the queen and is no longer a girl.So is Xia Qiuling forever sixteen?
Xia Qiuling suddenly remembered something, and said frankly: "Master Hou also said that the emperor likes the kind of woman who is bright and flamboyant, who will fight against him with every inch, and who does not follow the rules, so... the concubine has become fat and courageous, not intentionally. Disrespectful to the Queen."
