Blessed

Chapter 83
Not only the Jiang family was worried, but also Concubine Mu Gui in the palace. In five years, she was not sure what Concubine Concubine thought about Yuzhu.The original plan was because I knew that the concubine didn't like Yuzhu's appearance, so I wanted to separate Yuzhu from the second princess, the third princess and the fourth prince. After two or three years, the princesses will grow up and recruit sons-in-law, and there will be no time after they get married. The relationship will fade away.But it has been five years, and there is still no movement from the concubine.

Regardless of the fact that there are not many people around the concubine, she can't ask for news inside, so she doesn't know what's going on in the imperial temple in recent years.

In the past five years, Concubine Mu Gui's appearance has also undergone some changes. After all, she is getting older, the lines on both sides of her nose are a little darker, and the corners of her eyes are frowning, but her skin is well maintained, fair and smooth.She was anxious, and asked the third prince Zhao Minyi who came in from outside the palace, "My lord, is there any movement at the imperial temple? I feel a little uneasy at the bottom of my heart. You said, the concubine will not really return to the palace."

Zhao Min also came over and sat down on the couch, comforting Concubine Mu Gui, "Mother, don't worry, the concubine has lived in the imperial temple for more than ten years, and she has long been used to it. How could she return to the palace because of an outsider? I think the emperor also plans to take the Miss Jiang Si has announced that she has returned to the capital, after all she has grown up, if she stays in the Imperial Temple, she is afraid that the Jiang family will have opinions."

Speaking of the Jiang family, Concubine Mu Gui felt a little angry. In the past five years, the status of the Jiang family has grown steadily.Not a year after Yuzhu went to the imperial temple, the old brave Yibo felt that he was getting old, so he gave up the title to Jiang Anwen, the eldest son of the Jiang family. During the autumn hunting that year, Jiang Anwen also followed him, but someone assassinated him, and Jiang Anwen replaced the emperor by accident. After blocking an arrow and making such a contribution, the emperor raised the third-class earl to the marquis.

The Yongyibo Mansion became the Yongyi Hou Mansion.

The emperor saw that his official position was a little low, so he promoted him to an official position. Now he is a fifth-rank Yushi Zhongcheng, which is also a real official position, and he is a person close to the emperor.

Not only that, the champion named Xie Che adopted by the Jiang family was sent by the emperor to the north for disaster relief. How many people have died, and many facts have been dealt with in the past five years. A few days ago, he was appointed by the emperor as the servant of the official department. People can reach.

Even Yuzhu's fourth elder brother, Jiang Jin, is now a household doctor on the fifth rank, and his second elder brother Jiang Heng is an advising doctor on the fifth rank.Yuzhu's father, Jiang Ansu, has never been promoted to an official position, but has been working as a Dali Zheng in Dali Temple. He has tried many cases in recent years, and he is favored by the emperor. He is waiting for the Dali Temple minister to become an official.

This Jiang family has five real official positions, and the eldest girl is still the concubine of the crown prince, who gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. This status is basically unshakable in the capital.

Yes, even if the Jiang family doesn't have the first-rank and second-rank official positions, no one dares to offend the Jiang family today.

How can such a situation make Concubine Mu feel at ease? The Jiang family belongs to the empress and prince's side. The more powerful the Jiang family is, the more unfavorable it is to her son.

In the past two years, Concubine Mu Gui wanted to consolidate the position of the third prince. She wanted to marry him and win connections, so she looked at Shen Mei from the Duke of Zhen's mansion. At that time, that girl was exactly fifteen, so she was the age of her relatives, and she was Jiahe again. Her daughter is considered the third prince's cousin, and the Duke holds the military power. If she can win her over, it will be a great help to the third prince.

She called Jiahe into the palace to get in touch with her. To be honest, she looked down on Jiahe, and she knew all about Jiahe, so she didn't have to be like a mother.It's not okay to look down on her. Marrying someone else's daughter is always a matter of discussion, so she smiled and said, "Sister, your family's Meier has also reached the age of marriage. Look at Min Yi. Although he is older than Meier How many years older, but there is no concubine around me, Min Yi also likes Meier very much, why don't you tell your Meier to Min Yi to be a concubine, what does my sister think?"

In the past few years, Jiahe has been quite peaceful in the capital, hiding in the small Buddhist hall of the Duke's mansion, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, not going out of the door, and not caring about the rewards.Originally, Shen Mei was still clinging to her, but she didn't get close to her much in the next few years.

When she came, Shen Xian had looked for her, and Jiahe was a little afraid of this eldest son, firstly, he felt that he owed him, and secondly, this child had a very cold temper.When she entered the palace, Shen Xian was wearing a big cloak and standing under the corridor. After several years, his figure became taller and taller. Just standing there looked majestic and majestic, which shocked her. She heard his cold voice , "Concubine Mu Gui wants you to enter the palace. If you talk about Meier's marriage, you can just refuse, and say that the matter is up to the Duke."

Jiahe knew that Shen Xian was smart, he was careful at every step, he must have guessed something.

As soon as she entered the palace, Concubine Mu Gui pulled her to say a good word, and she talked about Meier's marriage. It was exactly as Shen Xian guessed. The marriage is all decided by the Duke of the State, the eldest girl in our mansion got married a few years ago, and the marriage was agreed to only after writing to the Duke of the State, so I can't decide the child's marriage."

Concubine Mu Gui smiled, "You are the mistress of the Duke's Mansion. How can you say nothing about the marriage of the two children? As long as you agree, the marriage can be settled. The reason for the marriage of your eldest daughter is the Duke's decision. You are the aunt, that is a concubine daughter, it is not good for you to make the decision, this is left to the Duke of the country to decide, but Ah Mei is your child."

Jiahe was also a little moved, the third prince was Meier's cousin, handsome and talented, and he was still a concubine, so this marriage was still possible.

However, when Jiahe thought of Shen Xian's indifference, she was a little afraid to speak.After thinking about it, he finally sighed, "I can't decide on Mei'er's marriage. If the imperial concubine really wants to talk about marriage, you might as well write a letter and ask the Duke."

The child had always resented her, and rashly arranged a marriage for her, fearing that she would resent her even more.

Concubine Mu Gui was annoyed, she couldn't show it on her face, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll write a letter to Duke Guo to ask."

When the letter was written, the Duke returned the letter in a very face-saving way, and sent it to the palace quickly. Concubine Mu Guifei opened it, but the Duke disagreed, and angrily threw the letter into the charcoal basin and burned it on the spot.

Grandpa Guo is not stupid, he sees these things in the officialdom very clearly, Concubine Mu Gui wants to marry his daughter because she likes the military power in his hands, of course she refuses, he is away all the year round, doesn't get along with his daughter much, but also I don't want her to fall into such a pit.

The third prince did not marry Chen Mei, but married the daughter of another prince's family.However, this incident was enough to make Concubine Mu regret it for a long time.

Thinking about the past few years, from the defeat of the Jiang family to the present glory, she murmured, "Is it really because of Jiang Yuzhu? She is so blessed to bring the entire Jiang family back to life?" Thinking, didn't the Jiang family return to the capital from the third room, and Jiang Yuzhu got the lucky lottery and started to get better a little bit?
Concubine Mu Gui thought, could it be that if she let Min Yi marry Jiang Yuzhu, it would also bring them good luck?

Naturally, Yuzhu doesn't know what's going on in the capital. She has stayed on the mountain for the past few years, so she still knows about some movements at home, and her brothers and uncles' official positions have changed.She also knows a thing or two about the situation of the Shen family. Shen Mei goes up to the mountain to see her every few months. The playmates who were together at the beginning have grown into big girls, and they are all old enough to say goodbye.

As for Shen Xian's situation, she also knows something about it. From Shen Mei's mouth, she heard that the emperor handed over the power of the Jinyiwei to him, and now he is the commander of the Jinyiwei. fear him.

She secretly went to the mountains to pick elm money for several days, and the concubine ate for several days without coughing, and she slept more peacefully at night.

In the middle of April, Yuzhu got up early in the morning to meditate, and had breakfast with Qingshuang Qinghuan and the others. The concubine called Yuzhu to come over and entered the room. , the corners of her eyes were full of frowns, but the look in her eyes was very kind. Yuzhu probably guessed something, and stood silently beside the concubine without saying a word.

Concubine Toffee also felt uncomfortable. Over the years, she rarely interacted with younger generations. After coming here, these little nuns respected her and feared her very much.Only Yuzhu, when she is an ordinary old man, speaks gracefully to her, never pretending to be afraid, after getting along with her for so many years, she has long regarded Yuzhu as her granddaughter, how could she be willing to leave.But this place is not for these little girls. When Yuzhu grows up, she always has to go down the mountain to marry and live her own life.

The concubine held Yuzhu's hand, and before she could say anything, seeing Yuzhu's tears falling in strings, she was so distressed that she took a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's tears, "Why are you crying, don't cry, no You have to give me a bad heart."

Yuzhu's tears were still pattering, her voice was a little hoarse, "Is the empress dowager planning to let me go back?"

What a smart girl.

Concubine Tai took Yuzhu to sit down, and sighed, "You have been here for five years, but these are the years that make me most happy. You have grown up too, and it is impossible for you to stay with me on the mountain for the rest of your life. The family members must not die in a hurry, and the emperor will not allow it, I am afraid that in the next few days, the emperor will order you to go down the mountain."

Yuzhu's eyes were a little swollen from crying, "But I don't want to bear what the concubine to do." She knew that the concubine would not go down the mountain.

She treats Concubine Toffee like a grandmother, so the five-year relationship is no joke.

"Good boy, don't cry." The concubine caressed Yuzhu's back, a little sad, "You know, I won't leave here, but Yuzhu can come to visit me on the mountain from time to time, can't she?"

Yuzhu remembered that the two had just met, and that the concubine's indifference and dislike towards her, so much so that her kindness towards her now was in stark contrast.

The two chatted for a long time, and Yuzhu also figured it out. The concubine did not want to go down the mountain, but she could go up the mountain often, so she could still accompany the concubine.

After waiting for a few days, Emperor Ruiwu actually sent an eunuch to announce the decree, asking Yuzhu to come down the mountain.

This eunuch should be an old man in the palace. It seems that the concubine still knows him. After the decree was announced, the concubine asked someone to serve tea, and left the eunuch to talk, and asked about the situation in the palace. Said, then said, "It's because the emperor misses you so much, he always wants you to go back to the palace to enjoy the blessings. He said yes, you are the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor is really worried about living here."
