The beauty of the lady

Chapter 29

Xuan Shaoling didn't seem surprised, nodded slightly, then looked at Zhou Tang who was sleeping next to Mrs. Zhao, and said with a soft smile, "This is my aunt's son, right?"

"Well, it's Zhou Tang."

"Auntie, please don't blame your ancestors for that incident many years ago. The Duke of Anguo's mansion has resentment towards the Chengbeihou's mansion. After all, my aunt is the heart of my ancestors and the old man. Over the years, the Jingzhong Zanying family It was not easy with all the princes' houses, and the emperor suppressed them severely. However, the ancestors were not angry because their aunt left the Zhao family. On the contrary, they were relieved. It was gone in just two months. The old ancestor kept blaming himself in his heart all these years, and he was also glad that his aunt escaped from the dragon's pond and tiger's lair. Let me tell my aunt that if my aunt comes to Beijing, he will give her all the dowry that he has saved for her over the years. Zhao Xingyu married Xu Xian seven years ago. The next child, and now the uncle has not been crowned the crown prince, probably the woman is playing tricks behind the scenes, the uncle said, Chengbei Hou Mansion, aunt should not go back if she can, if she knows that aunt is still alive, it is for the sake of the world's tongue , will also be taken back and fall into the hands of that woman."

Mrs. Zhao didn't come to her senses for a long time after hearing this long passage.

Just when Xuan Shaoling thought she couldn't speak, she heard her still soft voice like warm wind rippling gently in her ears.

"Brother Ling, I won't go back. I feel very good here. He has always been considerate and caring to me. Although he is not rich or illiterate, he always only has me in his heart. Your sister Sensible, the food is delicious, but you don’t have a chance to taste it, the capital, I don’t want to go back, but if Mei’er wants to go to the capital in the future, even if it’s a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, I have to go back again , at least not now."

Xuan Shaoling nodded, he didn't expect his aunt to go back with him this time, presumably the old ancestor thought so too, but when the old man was alive, his aunt didn't die, and no one knew about her, this time Presumably the same is true.

"Don't worry, aunt. The emperor is seriously ill now, and most of the government affairs are in the hands of Prince Chun. Not to mention the emperor's courtiers, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the powerful queen mother have to be subdued in the hands of Prince Chun. It won't be long before the succession of the crown prince will also be emptied of government affairs, and then maybe we will have a chance to turn things around, and if Duke An's government can really survive this period, my grandfather will definitely make decisions for my aunt."

"Prince Chun?" Zhao was stunned, "If I remember correctly, that prince is only 13 years old this year, not as old as you."

Xuan Shaoling frowned and smiled bitterly, "There is no other way. He is the youngest and most favored son of the late emperor, and he is also the descendant of the empress dowager. Although he is young, he is well versed in the affairs of the court and palace. Not to mention he is as cunning as he is." Two phases and six divisions, even the former ministers of the auxiliary country were willing to bow down, and suffered a lot of losses and plots in his hands. I heard from Mr. Chen Ge that the Queen Mother intended to let Prince Chun succeed the emperor after the death of the emperor, but was rejected by Prince Chun. Refused."

"Why?" Mrs. Zhao frowned. It stands to reason that Chen Ge is always the nephew of the empress dowager's natal family. What he said must not be false. If the young Prince Chun really intends to get involved in the court, why not himself? Assuming the throne, if this is the case, as the first emperor's direct son, even if he is replaced by the abolished crown prince, it is justifiable, why should he refuse?

"This nephew doesn't know." Xuan Shaoling shook his head, "When I came, my grandfather asked my nephew to tell my aunt about the affairs of the capital. If my aunt really wanted to avenge my aunt, he would spend the entire country. The government, pave the way for my aunt."

Zhao Shi was really stupid now, she didn't expect that her uncle, who had already taken care of her, would let her nephew bring her these words.

Xuan Shaoling seemed to know what was going on in her heart. He held her hands that were no longer smooth and delicate, and his heart was slightly sour. When he was young, he often asked his father to carry her to Chengbeihou's mansion. That's why he played with this aunt. At that time, she had a bright smile and a beautiful appearance, and there were not many others in the entire capital who could match her, but who would have thought that the hands that once held him would become very rough after seeing each other for so many years. I know, but I don’t know how long it will take to feel dejected.

My aunt is the daughter of the old man and the old ancestor, and the grandfather and the second uncle love each other like eyes, and they have made good friends with Zhao Xingyu, the youngest son of the old Chengbeihou, since they were young. Who would have thought that Zhao Xingyu was a beast with a face like a beast? , when An Guogong's mansion helped him successfully compete for the position of the next son, he ignored his aunt and grandmother as if nothing, and after he accepted the title, he even took a few concubines, the old man and the old ancestor were naturally filled with anger Unfortunately, at that time when the new emperor came to the throne, he tried his best to suppress the families of the rich and powerful in Beijing.

"Grandfather and second uncle have always been hard to let go of the matter of aunt and grandmother. An Guogong's mansion is also united. It will not give up until Chengbei Hou's mansion is overthrown. At least let aunt and grandmother under the nine springs feel at ease. As long as uncle inherits the title , we are still like a family.”

Mrs. Zhao patted Xuan Shaoling's hand with emotion, and sighed: "Brother Ling, go back and tell your grandfather that the Zhao family's affairs will naturally be settled by the Zhao family. Don't make a move. Before I left, the mansion was involved with people from the six departments. I'm afraid it's not the same as before. I'm just worried about your cousin now. You go back and tell him not to Fighting with Zhao Xingyu, he won't let your cousin become a knight, just because we all have the blood of An Guogong on our bodies, and besides, the knighthood is not as good as an official position, and it is not as good as earning it yourself Stand firm."

"Could it be that my aunt just watched the Chengbeihou Mansion fall into that woman's hands?" Xuan Shaoling was astonished.

"Of course not. Didn't you just say that Prince Chun is still young, and this kind of person has a fickle temperament. The Duke of Anguo's government should not act rashly at this time. What we need to do now is no matter who is the emperor, our allegiance is always the dragon." The person on the chair, don't form a party, the wind cannot be drawn, although there are risks, but it is much safer than neutrality after all, the world is turning around, and it is only in the hands of the Ye family, and it will never Falling elsewhere."

After hearing this sentence, Xuan Shaoling smiled, "Grandpa told me when he came, that my aunt must also support his decision, I didn't expect it to be true."

"Yeah, who told my mother and your grandfather to be brothers and sisters? They were all taught by my grandfather. Where can I go?" After speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Xuan Shaoling and asked: "Butler Zhao How is the family?"

"Don't worry, aunt. Although aunt and nanny disappeared together, and Housekeeper Zhao's family was also implicated, it was only a pain of flesh and blood. Later, when they were sold, father secretly intercepted them, and now they are placed in the Duke's mansion. on the Zhuangzi."
