Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 792
When Princess Xingnan heard this, she couldn't help but feel worse, and finally realized which aspect of the changes in human relationships and ways of the world that Aweng's family letter referred to, and also realized that people's hearts are sinister and the world is difficult. come out.

The Concubine Shan mentioned by the empress dowager was not the widow of the first emperor, but the widow of the late Langya filial king Sima Po, so she had a sister-in-law relationship with the empress dowager.The first emperor and Langya Xiaowang were born of the same mother, so the relationship between Shantai Concubine and Empress Dowager is closer than that of other clan kings' families.

Concubine Shan is also a hard-working person. Not long after her husband died, her youngest son also died.Although he was born in a wealthy family, he only lacks the most ordinary human relationship and family affection.Princess Xingnan has no lack of sympathy for this hard-fated aunt and aunt. She often visits her and invites Concubine Shan to meet her at the mansion to relieve her loneliness.

In her impression, Concubine Shan is gentle and docile, she is the first-class well-educated aristocratic woman nowadays.So before the mother directly called her name, Princess Xingnan never expected that someone like Concubine Shan would join the recent turmoil in the capital.

Although she has no body letter so far, Princess Xingnan is always brooding, feeling that she has let down the love of her husband and Weng Yu, but as the husband said, they are still young now, and this kind of thing can be done naturally , and there is no need to be so urgent as to deliberately chase.Moreover, Princess Xingnan still feels that her heart is far from mature. If she really wants to become a mother, she is also worried that she will not be able to bear the responsibility of parenting.

Although the queen mother's words sounded nothing, but at this moment, even if Princess Xingnan was slow-witted, she could still feel something was wrong.

After pondering for a while, she raised her head and looked at the queen seriously, trying to see more clues from her face.

"Why do you, lady, look at me so much? Such deeds are originally the destiny of a wife and family, are you still ashamed to hear about them?"

Being watched by her daughter like this, the empress dowager also felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously turned her head to avoid Princess Xingnan's gaze, and her tone was a little bit annoyed: "Do you still think that you are still a teenager? Such a big matter as human relations and succession, It is necessary to keep in mind all the time!"

The empress dowager's attitude made Princess Xingnan feel that an invisible barrier had formed between her and the queen mother, and it was already difficult to treat the queen mother with the innocent attitude before.She was already full of disappointment in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she pretended to say angrily: "Even if the mother doesn't say it, how dare I ignore this kind of woman's destiny. I'm just angry with Princess Shan. I saw her a few days ago. Well, since she has this idea, she doesn't tell me, instead she wants to explain it to the queen mother, and let me be blamed for nothing, it's really disgusting!"

"Concubine Shan doesn't speak bluntly to you, it is to save your girl's face. She is not a traitor who is easy to gossip, she also listens to the discussions of various clans, and is worried that it will hurt your woman's moral reputation, so she has no choice but to ask I said it. Now that I understand my mistakes, I should introspect and make amends. How can I blame others? When I see Concubine Shan in the future, remember not to be rude!"

The Empress Dowager has no lack of protection for Concubine Shan, and she also knows that her daughter is a little impulsive, not to mention that her husband's family is booming now, if she is really tired of Concubine Shan, there will be no shortage of flattering people if the corner of her mouth is crooked. To embarrass the concubine, so she reprimanded her seriously.

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she sneered in her heart, but she still maintained an angry expression on her face: "I'm just a young woman with deep ties, I don't know about state affairs and family affairs, and I don't know about righteous laws and regulations. I don't feel tired of staying with each other! So far, the north and the south can't see each other. I feel bitter in my heart, who can I tell? Now I have nothing to say. The mother said that because of public affairs, she turned her heart to others and came to blame me. I really can't bear the grievance!"

"Those idlers may not know, but the queen mother doesn't know? In the early years, the uncle and deacon caused chaos, the king was trapped, and the queen mother was expelled. My husband was not afraid of danger, and returned to the capital Qinwang! Resisting rebellious thieves. Young companions and husbands and wives, because of this, they are separated for a long time. At that time, the country is in peril. I dare not complain, but I am afraid of this farewell. I will wash my face with tears all day long, praying for peace!"

"After returning to the capital, all businesses withered, and the capital was in ruins. Although the husband and wife were close, the husband was busy day and night, and forgot to eat at night. At that time, I really wanted to ask, why did my husband work alone because there are so many sages at home and abroad? Lang alone! I'm also afraid of narrow mindedness, ignorance of the general idea, bad words and harmful things, so I can only bear it in my arms!"

"Earlier, poor soldiers from the Jie Kingdom came south, and millions of troops arrived in Huai in an instant. As a result, my husband worked tirelessly, and couldn't bear to live up to the king's order, so he resolutely went north to the place where there would be no death! At that time, there were all sages inside and outside, who could say that? Will I win? That day I crossed the river willfully, and I have decided to live and die together with my husband, and I will never suffer the pain of parting from life or death again!"

"Since my husband has used things, all kinds of piles can be counted. I have always been confused. Why do I say that there are sages inside and outside, but my husband must be used for things? Count all kinds, if there is one that can be done by the sages of the time, Husband and wife don't need to be separated for a long time, maybe a baby will be born early!"

Speaking of this, Princess Xingnan stood up from the table, her pretty face flushed with anger: "I'm not boasting about my beauty, I just ask my mother to be upright. In the past few years, when was it not because of helplessness? When was it not that I had to do it?" I see other people holding things in their arms, and I feel miserable. Those gossiping people, although they are benefited, still use it to slander me for immorality. Evil words and slander! This time, I can’t bear it any longer. Just as my mother said, the strong enemy has been broken, and the country has no worries. The positions of dolphins and dogs will not harm state affairs. Whoever dares to slander me, I will step on them The door of the family, so that her family can go north to share the labor. My husband and wife return to the hometown, and if we have nothing to go out, we will never return to the capital!"

Seeing that Princess Xingnan was so excited, she was extremely angry, and the empress dowager also froze there, half angry, half guilty, not knowing how to respond for a while.

At the beginning, Princess Xingnan still acted intentionally, but at the end of the speech, tears could not help gushing from her eyes, and after a while, she covered her face with her hands and began to sob: "Who doesn't know that leisure is the best? Who wants to be parted for a long time? I The husband’s family is rich and wealthy, and even if the husband lives in bed and supports him for the rest of his life, there will be no shortage of what the third generation will use! If it’s not for thinking about the great kindness of the father, if it’s not for worrying about the mother’s empress being alone, if it’s not for fear that the emperor will be young and helpless, why, why... ...I put my life aside and my family in the country, I dare not ask extravagant rewards, I just want to live up to this world! Why do people say such evil, but also blame my wife for the decline of virtue..."

"You, you... Xing Nan, the queen mother didn't mean that, you, stop your tears! Sigh, how can I forget everything you said, just, just..."

The Empress Dowager saw Princess Xingnan weeping, she became confused for a while, and became even more incoherent.She even stepped down from the seat herself, and walked to the side of the crying princess, the corners of her mouth twitched, not knowing how to comfort her.

Princess Xingnan cried louder and louder, and the empress dowager also remembered all the good things in the past, and gradually felt a sense of pity in her heart, and gradually became angry: "My son-in-law is a great talent, and his loyalty is unparalleled in this world. Whenever there is a national crisis, you will always face the difficulties. The lady has endured parting for a long time, it is already difficult for you, but you still have to be hurt by gossip and slander, really, really..."

Speaking of this, the empress dowager's eyes gradually filled with tears. Her wife's temperament is indeed not gentle, but when there was chaos in the early years, she was able to risk her life to rescue her.But no matter how nice the words of other people are, they are hard to trust in times of crisis.As a mother, when her daughter was so criticized, not only could she not understand her daughter's difficulties, but she felt a little guilty for embarrassing her with outsiders.

Although Princess Xingnan was still crying at her desk, she did not forget to pay attention to the changes in her mother's expression.Her heartache at this moment is not completely fake, but it is not because of the reason she said, but because she deeply feels that her close relatives are becoming estranged day by day, and the family relationship is no longer as simple as it used to be.Especially in the early years, when the father was dying and was about to die, that kind of helplessness and loneliness, just thinking about it, felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart.

When the Empress Dowager heard her daughter's cry, she gradually began to cry silently, while Princess Xingnan gradually held back her cry and raised her head, her eyes were still red, but her face was full of determination: "Boldly ask The queen mother immediately ordered my husband to return to the capital, and my husband and I returned to the hometown immediately, and did not want to be hurt or stigmatized for a moment! The country has its own peace and happiness, so far away, everyone will make a bad noise!"

The empress dowager's heart was full of emotion at the moment, but after hearing what Princess Xingnan said, her complexion couldn't help changing, she frowned and said: "You lady always don't think deeply, and your words and deeds are so rash! Weizhou is currently in Huaihe. The upper body is under a great responsibility, how can it be said that it will be recalled? If you have endured the hardships in the past, you can’t bear it for a little longer? When there is a verdict on the Huaishang matter, this time I will let Wei Zhou stay in the capital. ..."

"Everyone in the world is treacherous, so why should I endure it? Even if state affairs are still the most important thing right now, I will never bear those disgusting voices anymore! Today I will bid farewell to my mother and go to Concubine Shan to inquire and visit one by one!"

Princess Xingnan said viciously again: "Mother, you don't have to persuade me, even if you seize the country and get a crime, I will never tolerate those vicious talkers calmly living their lives and uttering disgusting voices!"

"You, you can't be like this, don't be willful!"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she felt anxious again, she knew very well that her girl was self-willed and had no fear of anything, since she said so, there was no need to doubt her courage.But originally it was just some boudoir women's gossip, if it becomes big, or if it becomes known to everyone, then the situation will not end well.At that time, Princess Xingnan may lose her reputation, and Wu Xingshen's family will not be able to resign, so she will definitely not let it go.Such a few gossips may cause Jiangdong to be in chaos again.

"I can't recall my husband immediately, and I can't retaliate against those disgusting voices. Am I just going to let others slander me like this? My mother was still teaching me how to be a woman. How can I be decent? Even if Mrs. Weng doesn’t see each other, and husband doesn’t abandon me, how can I feel at ease?”

When Princess Xingnan spoke up to this point, hatred was already in her eyes: "When the Concubine Shan taught her mother, did the queen ever think that the Shan family or its close clans would have a girl of the right age who could take the place of my wife, the Shen family? bit?"

When the Empress Dowager heard what Princess Xingnan said, her complexion changed drastically.In fact, she didn't care about the words that the son-in-law and the princess hadn't said so far. After hearing it, she didn't take it seriously.But as more people talked about it, she gradually took her heart. In addition, everyone in the city was rejoicing because of Huainan's victory, and the Shen family, especially Shen Zhezi, had an even higher reputation.

Although this would not make the empress dowager feel wary of Shen Zhezi, but with the frequent gossip of those clan wives, she also felt that it was undoubtedly a good thing for the princess to add children to the Shen family.After all, after the great victory in Huainan, the Shen family, as a relative clan, was much more powerful and able to provide support than her mother's Yu family.Moreover, at such a young age, Shen Zhezi showed his sharpness. Using this as an excuse to keep him in the capital for a few years is a good thing both in public and in private.

As for the affairs on the Huai River, although the Qingxu family headed by the Wang family cannot be trusted, except for the Wang family, there is no one to trust in foreign affairs.At that time, the clan will choose the young and strong, and all the families in the court will also choose the virtuous and talented, and go to the north to serve, so as to avoid the dominance of one family.

But what Princess Xingnan said made the Empress Dowager vigilant. Could it be that those clansmen and family members who babbled in front of her every day were just pure gossip?Or, do they each have ulterior motives?
It seems that the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with Concubine Yang before, because she learned from chatting with those wives some time ago that when the late emperor chose a son-in-law for Princess Xingnan, Concubine Yang actually hoped to ration her own daughter to Princess Xingnan instead of Princess Xingnan. Shi's!
There is no need to talk about the past, but now the talent of this virtuous son-in-law of her family is known to the whole world, and he has made great achievements. He is far superior to his peers and is a leader in the world.At such a moment, those wives tried their best to criticize her daughter for nothing. Their intentions are so dark and sinister that people dare not think about it. It's ridiculous that she thought it could be used as a way to keep her son-in-law in the capital and balance her life. An excuse for everyone's momentum!

People's hearts and morals are too sinister!

Thinking of this, the empress dowager couldn't help shivering, and then held Princess Xingnan's hand and said shyly: "I can't understand evil words and treacherous intentions for a while, and I almost missed my wife! People's hearts are unpredictable, treachery is really terrible. Disgusting! Even if a young couple has nothing to do, what kind of weird thing is it? Why are they chattering and talking endlessly! Don’t worry, my lady, your grandma is in the hall, and my children will never be trapped by adultery!"

"Words are in people's mouths, and evil breeds people's hearts. How can we stop them by force? If we are trapped in state affairs and my husband can't return to the capital immediately, then please mother-in-law take pity on my husband and wife and send me across the river. Stay in the capital for bad words and attacks."

Princess Xingnan saw that her mother had already spoken for her, so she hurriedly said again.The situation in Jiangdong is too complicated, she really doesn't want to stay for a moment longer, only by her husband's side can she feel at ease.Those treacherous people want to say that the empress dowager will detain her husband in Jiangzuo, so as to replace her husband to claim meritorious deeds, but if all the family members cross the river, this excuse is no longer valid, even if others have other reasons to say, it must be Fu Lang can handle it too.

After the empress dowager heard the words, there was no lack of embarrassment: "Jiangbei is not yet ruled by Wang Hua, and now it is bitter cold and turbulent..."

"Could it be that the queen mother endured the verbal attacks on me and couldn't defend herself?"

When Princess Xingnan spoke up to this point, her tone became tough again: "If my mother doesn't help me, then I can only help myself! Whoever speaks evil words to hurt my relationship as husband and wife can only show it with a sword, and there will be no mercy! "
