However, at this moment, after receiving the letter from his niece, Uncle Huo was no longer so happy.
The old lady of the Huo family did not rush to speak.
She fiddled with a string of agarwood beads.
After a long while, he suddenly said, "Where's the rubbing drawing of the jade pendant? Let me see it!"
"yes!"
Uncle Huo agreed, quickly stood up, and handed the drawings to his mother.
The old lady put the bracelet back on her wrist, took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
"This jade pendant looks familiar! I saw it on Concubine Dong when I entered the palace two years ago!"
The old lady’s rank is high enough and her status is noble enough.
She is one of the most famous ladies in Beijing.
Therefore, she was qualified to attend all banquets held in the palace, big or small.
The seats are relatively forward.
She was also familiar with the peerless and beautiful Concubine Dong.
Seeing the jade pendant drawing instantly awakened my memory.
"Wu Niang also mentioned that Ah Jiu unconsciously mentioned 'Wei Xian' in his dream?"
The old lady looked up at her son. "You were at the Honglu Temple. A few months ago, when the Ninth Prince led an envoy to the Feng Dynasty, you should have known that the envoy leading the delegation was Wei Xian!"
If Ajiu was just a farmer or an ordinary citizen, he might have heard of the delegation, but he would definitely not know who the leader of the delegation was!
Therefore, this is also one of the proofs that "Ajiu" has an extraordinary origin.
Second Uncle Huo: ...
He pursed his lips and said nothing in rebuttal.
Because it is a fact that Wei Xian was the leader of the delegation.
Uncle Huo helped with matters related to the Ninth Prince's study tour in Feng Dynasty with the diplomatic delegation.
He knew the details very well.
"The age and appearance match! The only problem is, if we reveal this, we'll be caught up in the fighting among the princes."
With just a letter from her granddaughter, the old lady roughly understood the situation and predicted what might happen in the future.
Uncle Huo stood with his head bowed, his attitude very respectful. "That's why I'm a little hesitant because I'm worried about this!"
Are royal affairs so easy to deal with?
Not to mention, the Huo family's status is sensitive. If anyone intervenes rashly, Emperor Qing will be the first to disagree.
The old lady smiled coldly, "We have long since broken off ties with the royal family."
"Besides, since we failed to marry Princess Ruyang, it's unlikely that we can completely distance ourselves from this matter!"
At first, the old lady had no intention of marrying the eldest princess.
Their Huo family has never had any ties with the royal family or clan members.
However, the eldest princess was very active and praised Huo Wuniang in public several times.
Her thoughts are just as clear as Sima Zhao's.
The Huo family simply can't keep playing dumb.
The old lady thought again that although the eldest princess was a daughter of the royal family, she had married into the Duke's Mansion, and her son was also the prince of the Duke's Mansion, not a member of the Qing family.
The Huo family is marrying into the Duke's Mansion, so it doesn't count as violating ancestral teachings.
For many reasons, the old lady agreed.
But she never expected that the eldest princess's son was a fool, and the eldest princess was also a person who would turn her back on her.
When the old lady thought of the rumors her granddaughter had suffered a few days ago, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
Of course, they were just some rumors, and the old lady, who had experienced countless ups and downs, would not take them too seriously.
Mainly through this incident, the old lady knew the character of Princess Ruyang - arrogant, unreasonable, bullying, and unscrupulous!
Even if the marriage with other powerful families in the capital fails, they will not become enemies.
The worst case scenario is that we stop interacting with each other and become strangers.
But the eldest princess was too domineering and unreasonable. For such a domineering person, if she owed others, she would not feel guilty, but would instead "retaliate" even more severely.
It seems that as long as the "victim" disappears, all the wrong things he has done can be wiped out.
The old lady had every reason to worry, "The eldest princess has already held a grudge against our Huo family! Even if we give in, she will find ways to plot against us!"
Now that we've become enemies, there's no need to have any more illusions.
But the eldest princess is Emperor Qing's biological sister. As long as Emperor Qing is around, the Huo family can only endure, give in, and be on guard against the eldest princess at all times.
"There's a saying that goes, 'A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.'"
Although the old lady is a woman and is old, she comes from a noble family and married into the general's mansion, so she is very strong in her bones.
"I think Wu Niang has a good idea! The Ninth Prince is an opportunity!"
The old lady thought about it again and again and finally made a decision.
Uncle Huo was still a little worried, but he was the most filial son and believed in his mother's vision and decision.
"Okay! Mother, what should we do next?"
"Do you want me to write a memorial and report this matter?"
Second Uncle Huo might not be as capable as his elder brother, but he is not mediocre either.
Since he agreed with his mother's decision, he began to think hard about the next countermeasures.
"Yes! As a subject, I must be loyal to His Majesty! If anything happens, I must report it immediately."
The old lady said with a smile.
Obviously, she was very satisfied with her second son's performance!
ps: I haven’t asked for monthly tickets for a long time, hehe, please give me a monthly ticket!
