Chapter 362 You are three times more beautiful than spring.
Old Lady Ning: "Then let me tell you slowly."
She pondered for a moment and tried to explain the whole story.
"At that time, the late emperor had five sons, and the ones he valued the most were the Prince of Yan and the Crown Prince."
"The late emperor and the late queen were a young couple, so it goes without saying that they were affectionate. He loved the Prince of Yan, so he valued the Prince of Yan's mother."
"If you want to talk about favoritism, it would be the birth mother of that person, Concubine Yue."
She also said it tactfully.
At that time, Emperor Ying Qian's birth mother was the late emperor's favorite. Therefore, although her mother's family was weak, she still got the position of concubine. But the emperor was the most ruthless, and if there were more, they would be gone. He never thought that the third prince born to Concubine Yue was qualified to sit on the throne.
"Concubine Yue had a miscarriage at the time and begged the late emperor to give Su Chan to her. As soon as the imperial edict of marriage was delivered to the Ning family, the nanny brought her into the palace."
"She was satisfied with the achievements of the Ningguo Marquis' ancestors and felt that Su Chan's status was worthy of her son. But
she blamed the Ning family for being too lax in teaching and said that your mother-in-law was not worthy of being a royal daughter-in-law." Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?
She was almost laughing out loud.
On the one hand, she relied on the Ningguo Marquis's mansion as a noble family, and on the other hand, she was nitpicking. She was
really a double-edged sword.
How could Mrs. Ning not be indignant?
But everyone felt that the Ning family had gotten a great bargain, that it was the royal
family that showed their favor, and that Su Chan was lucky. What an honor it was to be a prince's consort.
"At first, Concubine Yue was quite restrained and allowed Su Chan to come back once a month."
"Su Chan was obviously wronged when she came back for the first time. I raised her to be plump and white, but she has obviously lost weight. Her chin is even pointed."
A six-year-old girl is only pleasing if she has flesh on her face.
"She threw herself into my arms, crying out of breath, saying she would never go to the palace again, saying she hated Concubine Yue and the Third Prince. She also lifted her sleeves to show me the bruises on her arms, saying that whenever she made a mistake in copying Buddhist scriptures, the nanny holding the cane would scold her and make her unable to calm down."
Old Lady Ning was very distressed at the time.
What could be possible?
The nanny dared to do this, but it was just Concubine Yue's intention.
But she couldn't find any fault with them.
If we really want to talk about it, we should thank Concubine Yue for caring about Ning Suchan.
"Su Chan begged me several times, but she had to enter the palace. After a long time, she also knew that her family could not protect her. The deep palace and the gardens were overlapping, and a high wall divided the palace into two worlds."
"She had to get up before dawn and wait outside the Yuefei Palace. When people woke up, they would help her wash up."
"After breakfast, there were eight nurses taking turns to teach her, and she endured like this day after day. She has a calm temperament and suffers less."
Old Lady Ning paused.
As a mother, she just wants her children to be happy and healthy.
How can it be easy to be a prince's consort?
"Until the prince was deposed by the late emperor and died in confinement. The late queen could not accept the bad news and followed him in just half a year."
"In spite of his grief, the late emperor still loved the Prince of Yan, but he was reluctant to appoint a crown prince."
Yu Tingwan's mind moved slightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't interrupt.
How could the other princes not have thoughts?
How could Concubine Yue not want to be the queen?
How could she not be more picky?
"At that time, the harem was managed by Concubine Yue and the mother of Prince Yan, Concubine Zhao. Concubine Yue kept Su Chan by her side every day."
"Except for simple poems and songs, Ning Su Chan was good at everything else. Her popularity was no less than Jia Shan's. People outside said it was Concubine Yue's credit."
Not to mention the Guan Shunguo Mansion, Concubine Yue originally trained her to be the future Crown Princess.
Old Lady Ning: "My Su Chan also came back once a month to half a year, then a year, then two years..., and finally I could only look at her a few times every time the palace held a banquet."
At that time, Ning Su Chan would no longer run towards her like she did in her childhood, with her eyes bent and calling her mother coquettishly.
She would only salute her.
The movements were standard and the etiquette was standardized.
——"Mother."
"Later, the late emperor's mind was unpredictable. He didn't like the court officials surrounding the Prince of Yan. How could he not see the thoughts of Concubine Yue and the third prince?" He
cancelled the marriage of the daughter of the Ningguo Marquis's mansion and found the current queen, the daughter of the Zhou family, for the third prince to marry as a warning to the emperor. The Zhou family
at that time was not prominent, but it was not the current Zhouguo Duke's mansion.
"I was angry at the time. Why did the royal family waste Su Chan's youth? They were the ones who wanted to marry her, and they were the ones who wanted to divorce her. It was only my Su Chan who suffered. However, the Ningguo Marquis's mansion could only suffer this loss. But fortunately, the marriage was cancelled. After all these years of anticipation, she finally came back from the palace."
But too many years have passed, and everything has changed.
The little kid who played in the mud when no one was looking, thinking that no one saw him and was still laughing, has long been bound by rules, rigid and cold.
She won't say.
- "Mom, I want to eat candy cakes."
She will only be cold and indifferent.
- "The food outside is not clean. My daughter shouldn't be so greedy. The mother should be like this
." She won't say anything else.
- "Mom, the weather is good, let's go fly kites."
She will only show no emotion.
- "It's time for my daughter to copy the Buddhist scriptures. If you don't have anything important to tell me, I will leave first."
"I was afraid that she would feel bad at the time. After all, she and that guy were engaged since childhood, so there is some affection between them."
"But she didn't."
"I don't know if she is hiding her thoughts too deeply or if she really doesn't care."
Old Madam Ning closed her eyes.
"Perhaps the royal family intended to compensate, or perhaps wanted to humiliate the Shunguo Mansion, or perhaps for other reasons, they granted your mother a marriage with the eldest son of the Wei family three days before the wedding."
The Ning family wanted to keep their daughter for a few more years, but they had to prepare for her marriage.
"I was afraid that she would resist, but she knelt down respectfully to receive the imperial decree. After sending the eunuch away, she only said to me that she had wronged the eldest son of the Wei family."
When the Wei family sent the betrothal gifts to the door, Ning Suchan did not show up.
On the day of the wedding, Madam Ning was combing her hair and was about to let her live a good life.
She said in a calm voice.
——"Don't worry, mother, my daughter will be a good lady in the Shunguo Mansion."
Madam Ning sighed.
"Fortunately, the son-in-law is a good man who can tolerate your mother's bad temper."
She looked at Yu Tingwan who had been silent for a long time: "Do you think I talk too much?"
Yu Tingwan came back to his senses: "No, I was just a little shocked."
"It's not your fault that you haven't heard anyone mention it. Since that person married another woman, Su Chan married into the Wei family, and it involved the late emperor. No one in the entire Shangjing dared to bring it up again."
Old Lady Ning retracted her gaze.
Everything was obviously fine, but in the end, the King of Yan did not ascend the throne.
However, she did not mention these things again. Instead, she
said.
"I watched Guizhi grow up. He is good in every way. The children of noble families look up to him. To be frank, even the children of the royal family are not as good as him."
"But his mother is harsh. He has a good life, but he is not living a happy life."
"Everyone says Guizhi is filial, but they don't look like mother and son at all. Everything is caused by your mother-in-law, and she deserves it."
"But grandma feels bad. Your mother-in-law is my flesh and blood."
Yu Tingwan pursed her lips and looked at the cypress tree outside: "Grandma, do you want me to mediate?"
Yu Tingwan sorted out her words and whispered, "As a new bride, I'm afraid..."
"No."
Her head was touched lovingly.
"The matter between them, mother and son, has not been solved for all these years. I don't know why. This time, Guizhi escaped from death, and it seems that there is more estrangement. How can grandma make things difficult for you?"
"Suchan is willing to teach you how to manage the household, and did not invite the master to come to the house, which shows that she is satisfied with you."
Old Madam Ning looked at Yu Tingwan: "You look three times brighter than the spring scenery outside."
"After Guizhi married you, he was not as steady and solemn as in previous years. Even I feel happy when I see you."
"As a mother, I really have selfish motives. I just want you to accompany her more and lend her some vitality."
