"Grandma, this is the bird's nest porridge sent by the kitchen. Please drink it while it's hot! It's almost cold." Bi Tao advised.
Normally, grandma would drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the afternoon without fail. But now, even though the porridge was almost cold, she didn't even move. Bitao was a little worried.
Yurong waved her hands: "No, I can't drink it."
She had to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible and could not let Emperor Feng'an's plan come true. Although Li Xun wanted her to beg him, this incident must have really happened.
"Bi Tao, take a letter back to my mother for me and ask her to reply quickly."
"What are you doing..." Bitao didn't understand why she was asked to deliver the letter at this time.
I only heard Yurong say: "This is an extremely urgent matter. Please go and come back quickly. I only trust you."
Bitao's expression froze, and she did not dare to delay.
This letter was asking about the date of Yang Zhao's departure. Zhu replied very quickly and even said to Bitao happily, "You can let your grandmother rest assured. If our old man is promoted again this time, it will be even more impossible for her to stay in the Wei family."
After reading the letter, Yurong sneered. Sure enough, her father really went to the northern border. It was not his fault. He always followed the lead of the emperor and his wife. For so many years, he obeyed their orders. He probably really thought that he was going there to achieve great things, not to die.
Although the Wei family was the co-leader of the aristocratic families, many of them were dissatisfied, especially the Du family of the East Palace Army. Although the two families were related by marriage, after the eldest son of the Du family, Du Chong, became the prince's companion, they often acted in a way that was insincere and insincere.
Even if Yang Zhao didn't want to get involved, the Du family would still be alienated.
Besides, Yurong knew her father, and he was not really a smart person.
At this moment, only she can go with him, and she has to ask her father-in-law for permission.
At that time, Wei Rui and Zhou Ziying were sitting opposite each other and eating. Zhou Ziying was telling a funny story about his youngest son, "He can turn over now, that is -"
"Prime Minister, someone from the grandmother's place came to report something."
It was so late, Zhou Ziying glanced at Wei Xiang, and was about to say something when Wei Xiang stood up and said to Zhou Ziying, "You use it first, I'll go take a look."
My daughter-in-law entered the palace today, and she came to me with something to ask. I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.
"But, Master——"
Wei Xiang left without listening to the end.
Zhou Ziying was so angry that she pounded the table. It was her maid who advised her, "Madam, please don't let others see it. We all know your pain."
This was her dowry maid, who had been through hardships together. To be honest, the Zhou family did not agree with her marrying Wei Xiang. She had followed Wei Xuanning around before, causing so much trouble, and now she was going to marry someone else's father. Although she was now the wife of Wei Xiang and had received real benefits, she did not dare to offend her in front of those real ladies from aristocratic families, but they said a lot of gossip behind her back.
After finally having a child, I seemed to have found my feet.
But in this mansion, everyone favors Wei Duzhi more and ignores the first lady and her son.
"Bai Que, do you think the Prime Minister cares about me?" It was obvious that he was very tolerant of her on weekdays.
Bai Que nodded, "The Prime Minister is naturally very good to you. Whenever our Zhou family encountered any difficulties, the Prime Minister always came to our rescue."
But Zhou Ziying said something shocking, "Who do you think is prettier, me or my grandmother? Is the Prime Minister also interested in Yang Yurong now?"
"This, this...is impossible." Bai Que thought this was too horrifying.
What's more, grandma and grandpa have always had a good relationship.
Zhou Ziying sat down and said slowly, "I went to the palace the other day, and my cousin said that His Majesty also had special feelings for her. Whenever she went to the palace, His Majesty would go to the Queen's bedroom late at night, or accompany her for meals during the day. Can you imagine what kind of person the Emperor is? He could be attracted to her, let alone the Prime Minister, who is just like Daji and Baosi. No, those people at least only seduced the monarch. I think she is so unruly, I'm afraid she is almost the same as a prostitute."
She has never been a dignified and virtuous person, but in this life she pretended to be a virtuous woman in order to survive.
Bai Que was frightened to death, thinking that Zhou Ziying had some kind of hysteria, and hurriedly whispered: "Madam, how can you say such a thing? What if someone hears it?"
"So what if I heard it?" Zhou Ziying felt confused and grabbed Bai Que and asked, "You think the Prime Minister is just attracted to her because of her beauty?"
Bai Que shook her head: "Madam, please stop imagining. I see that the Prime Minister and the Madam are investigating separately. Isn't the Madam afraid that the Young Master will know? Why would she go along with the Prime Minister? You care too much about the Prime Minister. Don't mention this matter again."
Zhou Ziying sneered: "If there was no private relationship, why would she give the belt to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister would treat it as a treasure. They gave it to me in front of me, just treating me as a fool."
"No, the eldest lady clearly gave one each to you and the Prime Minister. You're worrying too much." Bai Que was not really thinking about Yurong, but was afraid that Zhou Ziying would make a big fuss, and then the Prime Minister would dislike her and abandon her.
Even if the grandmother really had something going on with the prime minister, what could they do?
You know, the Zhou family is not as good as the Yang family. The eldest grandmother's father is the empress's confidant, and the eldest grandmother was also named Princess Zhaolan. Even if she really had something with the prime minister, who can say anything?
Zhou Ziying suddenly showed a strange smile, "If Wei Xuanning knew all this, would he still like Yang Yurong?" She really couldn't wait to know.
But it is said that Yurong was kneeling in front of Wei Xiang at this time, and said in a serious tone: "Only if my daughter-in-law goes, this matter can be solved."
Wei Xiang's eyes were indifferent. "It's just that each of them serves his own master. Your father may not listen to you, and Xuan Ning may not listen to you either. Your trip is in vain."
"But if my father dies, how will I cope with the future? I'm afraid the emperor won't let me stay in the Wei family any longer. I know it's hard to persuade them given my status, but it's up to people to decide. Since I'm going, I must be sure."
His daughter-in-law was really smart. He and Xuan Ning probably knew that the emperor had inserted someone else, so it was not a big deal to insert Yang Zhao, because Yang Zhao was the confidant of the emperor and empress. Although he was not a shrewd and capable person, he was obedient. If the emperor and empress pointed east, he would never go west.
But they didn't expect that the real purpose of the emperor and empress was not to insert someone to disrupt the family, but to kill Yang Zhao.
He also knew his son well. Xuan Ning was not a man with a heart as hard as stone. "Xuan Ning may not kill your father."
"The eldest son has always been very kind to his daughter-in-law, so he will naturally show mercy, but don't forget that the Du family is still here. If they stir up trouble and incite others, my father will not be able to survive."
Wei Xiang looked abashed, yet somewhat amused. "Even so, it is not a bad thing for you. You have already been named a princess. The emperor is planning to use you so much, so you must be very useful. If that is the case, why bother clinging to the Yu Wei family?"
Yurong was stunned.
Yes, with my ability, why should I worry? I can just take advantage of the situation and win the trust of Emperor Feng'an. Why do I have to do this? Could it be that I am really attracted to Wei Xuanning?
