Chapter 394: Go to the East Palace Again
Since the death of her husband Liang Bangrui, Yongning has never worn colored clothes, and for 20 years, she has been wearing white plain clothes.
On the one hand, Yongning used this to show her husband's attitude of keeping festivals. On the other hand, it is Yongning's own heart, she likes to be quiet, she doesn't like red and green, and with her bumpy fate, she is pessimistic about everything.
In the eyes of outsiders, this princess is really a pity. In fact, it is very likely that she did not even see her husband's appearance clearly.
On the wedding night, Liang Bangrui was not in the cave room, but in the ward. Until their deaths, the husband and wife did not see each other.
This is undoubtedly the greatest misfortune for a wife. And the marriage itself is a tragedy.
If it weren't for the status of a princess, Yongning wouldn't have to keep a festival for a husband who had never even met him.
Perhaps, this is the greatest sorrow of being a princess.
Everything, involuntarily.
She wasn't keeping a festival for herself, she was keeping a festival for the royal family.
For 20 years, Yongning has always been dressed in white, spending his years day after day.
Twenty years ago, when she got married, her young appearance has become her memory, however, the years have not made her old, but only made her grow up and mature, and even more made her have a faint sadness invisibly.
Under the halo of the princess, the fact that Zhu Yaoyuan is a widow cannot be concealed.
A middle-aged widow, sitting alone in a gazebo, embroidering children's shoes, this picture is a bit bleak.
The good ministers outside the pavilion did not have any sense of amazement at the moment when they saw Yongning's face. Because, at this moment, there is only one other person in his heart. That figure kept flashing in his mind, so that Deliangchen no longer had the heart to look at Yongning's appearance.
Although he had long known that Xi Li had given birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter were safe, but when he suddenly heard the news of her from Yongning's mouth, Liangchen was still in turmoil, or rather, he couldn't be at peace.
Even, he couldn't wait to run to the East Palace and Li Cui'er now.
He wanted to take another look at the stupid woman recorded in the history books, the woman who had been alone with him for days, the woman who was across the wall from him when he was leaving.
He had a lot to say to her, but he didn't know where to start.
In short, his mind was in turmoil.
………
"Has the prince's brother added a thousand gold?" Shou Ning was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know anything about this matter.
When Yongning saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly: "Over there in the East Palace, don't you care at all?" Anyway, Chang Luo is your big brother. ”
"Fourth aunt, I..." Shou Ning blushed, a little ashamed.
Because of the matter of his mother and brother Chang Xun, Shou Ning and his eldest brother Chang Luo didn't move around at all, and they couldn't even talk about being close, so how did they know that the eldest brother had recently added a daughter. If Yongning hadn't told her, she probably wouldn't have known about it all along.
Yongning knew the reason, she pondered for a moment, and said to her niece: "Chang Luo is loyal, you still have to go to him when you are free to be a sister..."
Speaking of this, he told his niece earnestly, "Shouning, you remember, no matter who is the prince, those of us who are princesses don't care, we just need to do our part." It's all a family, the back of the hand is meat, and the palm of the hand is also meat, and it is not a good thing for those of us who are princesses. ”
Yongning said very tactfully, Shouning is not a child, she understands what her aunt means.
The eldest brother Chang Luo is already the crown prince, and he will be the next son of heaven in the future, if it is because of his mother and brother Chang Xun, Shou Ning has always been inclose to Chang Luo, and even indifferent. Then in the future, as far as Princess Shouning's Mansion is concerned, there will definitely be only disadvantages and no advantages.
There is a saying among the people, calling my uncle a father-in-law. It means that no matter what happens to the uncle's family, the uncle cannot take sides, and must treat what happened to the uncle's family from the most fair perspective. Otherwise, it's not good to offend anyone.
On the princess Shouning, things are more at stake than the folk.
Yongning obviously hopes that his niece will know about this stake, so that there will be no trouble in the future.
Prince Chang Luo is loyal, but no matter how honest a person is, there are times when he loses his temper.
Honest people lose their temper, and they are also the most scary. Besides, that honest man is the emperor.
If the prince is Chang Xun, Yongning doesn't have to talk much, but the prince is Chang Luo, and she, as an aunt, can't help but remind her niece.
As far as Yongning herself is concerned, whether Chang Luo or Chang Xun, whoever is the prince, she is an aunt, and she doesn't have to weigh any interests.
She embroidered children's shoes for Chang Luo's new daughter, just out of the love of the elders. Although he is only thirty-four years old, Yongning's heart has really aged.
She likes children, and when she went to the East Palace six days ago to visit Li Xuanshi, who was not yet a full moon, and the niece and granddaughter who were still in infancy, Yongning really liked it in her heart.
When she returned, she started making these children's shoes.
Between the stitches and threads, it is not only her elders' love for the younger generations, but also her sadness and regret.
If she and Liang Bangrui have children, then now, it is very likely that she will also be a grandmother.
……..
"Fourth aunt, I wrote it down."
Shou Ning nodded, she no longer understands the world, and always knows her aunt's kindness. This matter is indeed what she did wrong, she is already married, and she should think more about Princess Shouning's mansion than her mother and Chang Xun.
Yongning snorted slightly, she didn't want to say much more about the extra words, as long as her niece knew it.
As the daughter of the Zhu family, as a princess, she is actually not much better than the common people's family. Inside and outside, walking on thin ice, being careful in life and doing things, there will always be no mistakes.
"Why did you have time to come and see my aunt today?" Yongning glanced outside the pavilion and found that only one little eunuch followed, and he didn't see the figure of Shouning's horse, so he couldn't help but ask where Ran Xingrang was.
"Fourth aunt, Xing Rang asked his father to send it to the Guozijian for reflection." Shou Ning's eyes turned red.
Yongning was taken aback: "What happened?" ”
"Fourth aunt, you don't know, Mother Liang in my house..."Shou Ning told her aunt what happened recently, Xu was a little emotional, and in the end, she was so angry that she choked up.
"My niece came this time to ask my aunt to enter the palace to help me avenge my father's grievances." Shou Ning held his aunt's hand just like when he was wronged when he was a child.
Yongning sighed, she was deceived by slaves and maids back then, so that her life was ruined. Now that my niece has been deceived by Diao Nu again, I feel the same way. She didn't shirk it, got up slowly, pulled Shou Ning and said, "I haven't been in the palace to visit my mother for some days, so I'll enter the palace tomorrow and take a look at your father by the way." ”
"Thank you, aunt!"
Shou Ning is very grateful, his father loves the fourth aunt the most, and when she enters the palace to talk about it, his father will definitely give himself and the horse justice.
"You said it all, I am your aunt, and if my aunt doesn't help your niece, will she still help those slaves?"
Yongning smiled, wiped the tears from the corners of his niece's eyes with a handkerchief, and his eyes fell on Wei Liangchen, who was a little unrelenting, only to notice that the other party was already in a green robe at a young age. She is a princess, and she is naturally clear about the affairs of the inner court, and she wears a green robe at a young age, this little eunuch obviously has some background, but she doesn't know which Da Jue's name is.
Because of Shouning's orders, plus thinking about Xi Li's affairs, Liangchen has been standing silently outside the pavilion, not realizing that Yongning is looking at him.
Seeing that his aunt's eyes were a little puzzled, Shou Ning hurriedly whispered Wei Liangchen's identity to Yongning, and at the same time told the other party about saving the concubine Ran Xingrang outside the Xihua Gate.
"And this? Diao Nu is so bold that even the horses dare to fight! Yongning was a little angry, his niece didn't say anything about it just now.
"But isn't it, then Zhao Jinchao is bold, if it weren't for Father-in-law Wei to rescue him in time, Xing Rang would probably be killed by them." While Shou Ning looked hateful, he was also frightened, if Xiao Wei's father-in-law was not there, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell your grandmother and father about this matter, and I must let those slaves know the rules!"
Yongning thought of Liang Bangrui being beaten to death by a eunuch on the street, and became more and more determined to help his niece get justice. Not for her niece but also for her, she couldn't do anything about those slaves back then, but now, she can't let the tragedy happen again no matter what.
Liangchen had already reacted at this time, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked up at the pavilion slightly.
It's just that when he looked over, Yongning was turning sideways, making it impossible for him to see the other party's appearance clearly. But from the side, the figure is not too slim, it belongs to the plump but not too heady kind.
I want to come to this princess to pamper and worry, and she is not interested in fitness and weight loss these years, so she has become a natural slightly chubby type. Vaguely, Yongning's sideways body reminded Liangchen of the female English teacher in middle school in his previous life, wearing glasses and quiet writing. Like, there are six or seven points.
Although Wei Liangchen was a good eunuch, Yongning was reluctant to talk to him because of his knot. Shou Ning got her aunt's approval, so she let go of her worries, and instead talked to her aunt about the children's shoes.
After a while, Shouning said goodbye to her aunt, and Yongning smiled and asked the palace people to send her. Liangchen was quite sorry when he left, because he still didn't see Yongning's appearance clearly.
Out of the princess's mansion, Shou Ning said to Liangchen with some embarrassment: "I was embarrassed by my father-in-law just now, my fourth aunt's temper..."
Liangchen smiled and said a few words, to the effect that Shouning doesn't have to be like this, he has also heard a little about Princess Yongning, so he won't mind at all.
Shou Ning said "um", and said to Liangchen with some gratitude: "My father-in-law is really a good person, if it weren't for my father-in-law today, I wouldn't know what to do." ”
"The road is uneven, pull out... Our family can't see slaves and bully the master, Your Highness must not say that again, this is our family's duty. If not, our family will be sorry for the emperor. The good minister looked loyal.
Although Shouning is one or two years older than Liangchen, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he is simple-minded.
Thinking of something, Shou Ning hesitated again, and whispered to Liangchen: "Father-in-law, but I don't know where Mother Liang is?" "Her Royal Highness the princess is thinking of Mother Liang.
Liangchen hurriedly said: "Oh, Your Highness, rest assured, our family is just taking care of it, and we will send Liang's mother to the correctional department when we turn around." After His Royal Highness Yongning enters the palace, the emperor should also be punished. ”
After giving Shou Ning a reassuring pill, Liangchen saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Shou Ning to get in the car, and he was a good person to the end, ready to send Her Royal Highness the princess back.
Once born and twice ripe, Princess Shouning's Mansion will be a good place for his father-in-law Wei in the future. When you need to use this princess, you can go straight to the door.
When he arrived at the car, Shou Ning seemed to have something on his mind, and hesitated not to get into the car. Seeing this, Liangchen couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness still has something?" ”
"The prince has recently given birth to a daughter, and I want to buy some small items to send to me." Xiao Wei's father-in-law is a good person, Gu Dao is warm-hearted, and Shou Ning did not hide it from him.
"This is as it should be, Your Highness has a heart."
Liangchen nodded, you Shouning is also an aunt, and it is natural to buy gifts for your niece. Could it be true that because your mother and your eldest brother are incompatible with the East Palace? If you do this, you Shouning will suffer.
"But," Shou Ning was a little undecided, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask Liangchen, "Gonggong Wei, do you think I should go to the East Palace?" ”
Liangchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, pretended to ponder, and then affirmed: "Your Highness, it is reasonable for you to go, even if you don't go, you have to send the gift." ”
"Okay then, I'll go buy some gifts first, and I'll go to the East Palace tomorrow."
Shou Ning really has no opinions, and he can't make up his mind, so he will take Xiao Wei's father-in-law as the standard. immediately asked Liangchen to send her to a famous jewelry store in Beijing.
In addition to women's jewelry, the store also sells children's gold and silver jewelry, such as longevity locks, triangular hammers and the like.
Liangchen pondered on the road whether to charge a large amount of money and use money to let His Royal Highness Shouning know the brightness of his father-in-law Wei, but when he arrived at the place, he found that he was thinking too much. After the things are bought, there is no need for Shouning to settle the bill, the store has its own special bill, and it will be sent to the princess's mansion when you turn around.
Out of the store, looking at the small gift box in his hand, Shou Ning couldn't make up his mind again. In the end, she still shook her head and said to Liangchen: "Forget it, I still don't go, if the mother concubine knows, she will definitely blame me." ”
Liangchen is a little big-headed, you, the princess, will say go, and then say no, whether to go or not.
Women, just trouble.
Shou Ning seemed to have made up his mind and went straight to the car, and Liangchen didn't say anything when he saw it.
To be honest, Shou Ning's not going to the East Palace now is actually not a bad thing. After all, her own mess hasn't been finished yet, if she goes to the East Palace to let Concubine Zheng know about it, if she is angry, maybe something will happen again.
Liangchen figured it out and drove Shou Ning back.
After returning to the princess's mansion, Liangchen stopped the car, and someone from the princess's mansion came over to drive the carriage to the back. Liangchen was about to say goodbye to Shou Ning, but Shou Ning suddenly said to him: "Otherwise, Grandpa Wei will help me send this gift to the East Palace." ”
"Our family?"
Liangchen was stunned for a moment: And this good thing?
Seeing that Liangchen was stunned, Shou Ning thought that the other party was not available or unwilling, so he hurriedly said: "If the father-in-law is inconvenient, then forget it, I'll send someone else." ”
"No, no, Your Highness, I'm free, I'll help you send things to the East Palace."
Liangchen is in a hurry, and if he has the opportunity to go to the East Palace again, he can't find a lantern!
