That day when Jian Xu Bai returned to the mansion, he told his wife about the results of his prying and asked her to arrange for someone to deliver a message to Xie Yi Ren.
Song Yi smile out to order a good back, he said to pick up the old lady Duanmu things, “today into the palace, in passing with the Royal grandmother mentioned, the Royal grandmother is also very favorable, and to us from now on to change the mouth to call the aunt grandmother for grandmother.”
“I actually forgot about this!” Song Yixiao suddenly realized this as soon as she heard it and clapped her hands, “It’s good that you remembered! Otherwise you would have left the Dowager Empress out in the cold!”
Jian Xu Bai comforted her for a few moments and mused, “Imperial grandmother suggested that we rush to invite grandmother to the mansion for a reunion before the MidAutumn Festival, so that the festival can be lively.”
“Then what else is there to say?” Song Yi smiled and looked at the copper leak in the corner of the room, “I’m afraid it’s too late for today, let’s go invite grandmother tomorrow?”
Seeing that Jian Xu Bai nodded, he called into Tie Jin, ordering her to go and throw the invitation, lest the family board the door the next day in an abrupt manner, disturbing Old Lady Duanmu.
Old Lady Duanmu’s side learned that the Yan Duke’s family was coming to visit them, and felt a bit surprised, “The Duke’s side, is there something going on?”
Mossy Jin followed Song Yixiao’s instructions and only said, “Your Ladyship has adopted a new son, the young son of Song, who is now being raised with County Lord Xinling and County Lord Chaoping, and Your Lordship and Your Ladyship are thinking that they haven’t met their elders yet, so they want to ask if you’re available for tomorrow?”
Hearing her say that, Old Lady Duanmu assumed that she was just leading her righteous sons to come and ask for peace, so she said, “Naturally, they are free, let them come tomorrow!”
After Tess Jin left, Old Lady Duanmu called Lu He Ai, Lu He Yu brothers to the front, told them that tomorrow the Duke of Yan’s family will come to the matter, ordered them to go to prepare a gift to meet.
I do not want to the next day, Jian Xubai couple really led the three children to come, just when a “grandmother”, but the old lady Duanmu shouted slightly stunned, followed by the end of the salute, the two couples implied that they would like to discuss things with the old lady alone to wait for the idlers to go down, Jian Xubai will be Said, “The MidAutumn Festival is coming soon, but father is not yet full of worry, inconvenient to come to the imperial capital, now only our couple to welcome grandmother back to the house, I wonder when it is convenient for grandmother to move?”
Without waiting for Old Lady Duanmu to excuse herself, she added, “That’s what Imperial Grandmother said yesterday.”
“… is that you now inherited the third house, but I in the end only your grandmother, not your grandmother.” Duanmu old lady for this sudden invitation, stunned for a moment, eyes seem to have water light flashes, but after a moment or smile and said, “Which has with you a piece of reason to live? Besides, it’s not like I don’t have anyone to take care of me now, aren’t He Ai and He Yu both on my knees?”
Song Yixiao busily said, “In fact, it’s not just that she wants to ask grandmother to move to the Duke of Yan Mansion so that it’s convenient for us to fulfill our filial duties, but also that she has a request for grandmother!”
He then told Lu Thuoer’s situation, took out a handkerchief and lightly pressed the corners of his eyes, saying, “Since Dui’er’s death, I have only one sister left with the same mother! If I can’t take good care of her, how can I face my mother’s family in the future? But I’m young and shallow, and I don’t have much experience in raising small children, so although my heart aches for her, I don’t know what to do to treat her well.”
He added, “As the saying goes, if there’s an old man in the family, there’s a treasure. Originally, this kind of thing is to consult the elders! But Grandma knows that there are no elders in my mother’s family, and although my grandmother is still healthy, I have so many aunts and uncles and cousins, so how can she worry about them? Moreover, I am not afraid to say with grandmother: when my mother’s mother passed away, I and my family had some disagreements over this, these two years are not very close to each other, now looking for the door to think also embarrassed!”
“And my husband’s elders, such as the Dowager Empress Dowager and the current Second Auntie, have all been in poor health lately, and are not in a position to be disturbed. Thinking about it, I can only put the idea to you! I beg you to help us for the sake of father!”
Old Lady Duanmu knew that she was just looking for an excuse, and after pondering for a while, she shook her head and said, “I’ve heard of such a situation with County Mistress Xinling, it’s nothing more than being frightened. It’s a good thing she’s young, let her be raised with Chaoping and Xuan’er and the rest of them, after a few years, it will always ease up.”
“As for staying at your place or not, Tsuru Ai and Tsuru Yu …”
Song Yi smiled and interjected, ”The two cousins are of course also living there together! Didn’t we agree before? We will also be helping with the marriage of the two cousins! After Grandmother and the two cousins live there, it will be easier to do these things, right?”
However, this day despite the couple’s good words, Old Lady Duanmu shook her head.
Even after Jian Xu Bai found an excuse to go out and convince Lu He Ai and Lu He Yu to help persuade Old Lady Duanmu, the old lady only said, “Let’s talk about it after some days!”
Her such an attitude makes Song Yixiao puzzled and also feel surprised, because originally thought that Mrs. Duanmu had perhaps before in order to be close to the Su family, alienated from the Yan State Ducal Palace, can not put face, so do not want to agree.
But then Jane Qing Yue three children back to the hall, look at the old lady Duanmu look, clearly on Jane Qing Yue love a lot from the arms to the arms can not let go, and even couples look at the evening, had to say goodbye, the old lady several times to say, look at her look is clearly very want to Jane Qing Yue to stay.
But in the end, he still kissed Jian Qingyue, and handed her over to Song Yixiao, “If you have the heart, you can always bring the children to see me in the future!”
When Old Lady Duanmu said these words, although her expression was calm, her tone revealed inexplicable pathos.
Song Yixiao guessed that there must be some inside information, but when she returned to the Duke of Yan’s residence, she asked her husband about it, and Jian Xubai pondered for a long time, but also shook his head in fact, Song Yixiao suspected that her husband might not really know anything, but was just unwilling to tell himself.
If it was before, there was nothing she could do even if she was disgruntled in her heart.
But now …
On the following day, she found an excuse to ask Song Luyan to come over, and after gossiping and dismissing her subordinates, she talked about how she wanted to ask Mrs. Duanmu to come and live in the mansion but was refused, and then sighed, “I mentioned this matter to my husband, and in addition to doing my filial piety, I also genuinely want to be guided by my elders. However, I don’t know why, grandmother obviously very loving, also very like Chao Ping, but never agreed to come to live. You know, although I am the first daughter of Jiangnan Hall, but because of various reasons, but did not grow up in the Song family, so for the grandmother such as the idea of people from such a background, really can not speculate on what, thinking that you may have some knowledge, but do not know if you can point to point to me?”
“Sister said this, how am I worthy of instructing sister?” Song Luoyan busily said, “I’m not quite sure what Old Lady Duanmu thinks, but I remember that there is an uncle and grandmother in my family, also surnamed Duanmu, who is Old Lady Duanmu’s mother’s family sister, and I’ve heard the elders say that the uncle and grandmother had dealings with Old Lady Duanmu when they were in the court, so maybe I can find out from the uncle and grandmother. Only the uncle’s grandmother counted a number of years did not meet with Old Lady Duanmu, can not help sister’s favor, but also not certain.”
Song Yixiao said in a pleasant manner, “That’s true! I’m already overjoyed that you’re willing to help, would I still rely on you?”
“I’d love to have my sister fall in love with me!” Song Luoyan laughed and opened her arms in a gesture to hug her, “I love you so much as soon as I see you, I can’t wait to be in love with you for the rest of my life!”
“Then what about Shen Shuangjiao?” Song Yixiao gave a giggle and said, “It would be strange if he didn’t fight me to the death!”
Frost Horn is the character for Shen Biansheng, the husband of Song Luoyan.
The two of them joked around for a while, discussing the upcoming MidAutumn Festival, and Song Luoyan took her leave.
Within a few days the MidAutumn Festival arrived this year’s MidAutumn Festival was as usual cold and quiet, due to the death of the Daikoku Grand Princess and his wife, and even a bit of tension.
Because wellinformed people were very worried that the Dowager Empress would lash out at the MidAutumn Festival Banquet and make the Empress and Empress lose face in public.
However, when the people entered the palace in fear and trepidation, they found that the situation was better than expected: the Dowager Empress was not present at all.
Although the reason why the Empress Dowager did not attend was because she felt that on such a day of reunion, looking at a hall full of people, none of whom were her own children conceived in October, she felt unable to bear it, and this reason more or less fell into the face of the Empress Dowager, but how is it better than falling out with the Empress Dowager in public?
“Let’s drink from this bottle and wish Imperial Aunt Jin a speedy recovery!” Empress Wei took the initiative to raise the bottle in order to ease the atmosphere at this time, although the Empress had not yet left her father’s filial piety, the twoyear period of great auspiciousness had already expired, and she could resume her proper bedtime, drinking wine and eating meat and said with a smile, “I hope that in the coming year, both the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Aunt of the Kingdom of Jin will be able to enjoy the same happiness with us! We are happy together!”
The crowd responded to the situation and rounded out the scene in the end.
The next day of the MidAutumn Festival is the Duanhua Emperor’s birthday festival, is worried about the Empress Dowager’s trouble, the emperor, naturally do not want to celebrate, and even the family feast was not set, only with Empress Wei went to pay tribute to the Emperor of Xianjia and Cui Guifei, and then went to the Mingren Palace and Huiyi Palace to the Empress Dowager, Empress Su kowtowed.
As usual, the Empress Dowager had nothing good to say to them, but Empress Su specialized in cooking herself and made them a bowl of longevity noodles.
Although it is said that Empress Su’s craftsmanship is very general, but after listening to the palace people said that this is the Empress got up early in the morning, from the dough, kneading, rolling out every step of the way, never pretend to be someone else, really handmade, Duanhua Emperor and Empress Wei are very touched.
Although … this first mother is not on the same page with them, compared to the Empress Dowager, she is really considerate, okay?
“Let’s give more additions when Changxing descends!” The Empress and Empress returned to the Weiyang Palace after eating longevity noodles at Empress Su’s place and conferred like this.
As for being moved to spare the king of Su … that is of course impossible.
Two festivals passed and the time turned to September.
After the Chongyang Festival, the hundred days of the Dai Guo Grand Princess couple expired, and Jian Xubai was finally able to move back to the backyard the couple had not been in bed together for long, and the side horse harnessed by the eldest princess of Changxing’s remarriage was announced, and it was none other than He Qian, whom Empress Wei had previously shown to Jian Xubai.
Because the eldest princess of Changxing has already descended once, the mansion, dowry, and manpower, are all readily available.
So the wedding announcement, as long as the process is to go, although this time has been close to the end of the year, up and down is not too busy.
This day Song Yixiao was working on the list of congratulatory gifts for Changxing’s first marriage, drawing up the gift list for this time, when the maid came up to report that Song Luoyan had suddenly come, and looked a little anxious Song Yixiao remembered that she had entrusted this clanswoman to spy on Old Lady Duanmu’s affairs last month, and assumed that Xilang’s side had finally replied, and busily put aside the things in her hand to stand up, “Quickly please!”
Which knows that a few moments later, the two sat down in the small flower hall and cleared the scene, but Song Luoyan said in an urgent voice, “Sister, something big has happened!”
Song Yixiao was surprised, only to ask for details, Song Luoyan has continued, “Song House side just got the exact news, the reason why the Dai Guo Grand Princess and her husband and wife received the decree after self . The reason why the Grand Princess of Dai Guo and her wife killed themselves after receiving the decree is suspected to be related to Lu!”
