In just over ten days, this pair of loving grandparents and grandchildren went from crying and sympathizing with each other to a cold war and turning against each other, and quickly reached the current tit-for-tat and hostile situation.
The old princess felt that no matter what her reason was, she had done her best to be kind to Yan Tingyue over the years. Yan Tingyue should be filial to her if he was not filial to anyone else. No matter how hard he worked, it would not be enough to repay her for her love.
But Yan Tingyue felt that she was being nice to her with ulterior motives and calculations, and was not sincere at all...Now he has caused her to fall into this situation and her face has been torn apart. Why should she be filial to her?
Besides, she is now simply counting the days and waiting for death, so why should she just live her life to her heart's content? Why should she serve such an old hag?
Yan Tingyue didn't want any children at first.
She had heard from others that if one stuffed musk in the belly button one would not get pregnant, but things happened so quickly that before she asked anyone to buy musk, she heard that something had happened to Yan Shiyue.
Fortunately, she didn't buy it. Now, she relies on this child to survive.
When the imperial physician diagnosed her pulse as slippery yesterday, she was truly relieved.
She knew that she would be left with only her son in the future...but what could she do?
Anyway, she is barefoot now and is not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you want to make trouble, then come on!
...
...
New Year's Eve just passed like this.
The next day, the old princess woke up from her nap, turned over, and was about to order tea.
But I heard a few servants talking at the back window: "I heard that the fifth daughter we found was made a royal princess!"
The old princess stopped scolding immediately and listened with her eyes wide open.
"Oh?" The servant asked, "Why is she named an imperial princess? Isn't Wu Niang the daughter of Prince An's mansion? Even if the emperor likes her, it would be fine to just name her a princess, but why can he name her an imperial princess?"
"You don't know this, right?" The servant said, "I heard that when the Jade Inspection Bureau examined blood relatives, it found two pairs of blood relatives, the emperor and the imperial concubine, and the second master and his wife, all of whom are her biological father and mother."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Of course, how dare I lie? The imperial decree has been issued, saying that this has never happened!"
"It seems that this Fifth Lady is really the Lady of Fortune..."
"Hush!" The man lowered his voice: "Of course it's Lady Fu. Or can this person in our room use the method of borrowing Fu to extend his life?"
He sighed, "Actually, if you ask me, this is a blind decision. As an elder, you are treated like this by the younger generation, and you are labeled as unkind. But if the younger generation knew about this, shouldn't they take the initiative to ask for the blessing? Otherwise, can they watch the elder die of illness? Besides, even if the blessing is borrowed, she will still be alive and well, and it won't do any harm to her."
"That's true. Some things just depend on how you deal with them. Our old princess is just too honest."
The old princess listened quietly.
I didn't expect that the little troublemaker would have such great fortune!
She had been in the inner chamber all her life and was best at this kind of trick. Of course, she could see that these two people were instructed by someone and deliberately passed the message to her.
But so what? Since they mentioned the imperial edict, they were not lying!
They were right. If the younger generation knew that she was seriously ill and wanted to borrow her blessing, they couldn't refuse! Not to mention that it would not harm her, even if they asked her to exchange her life for hers, they couldn't refuse!
Otherwise it would be extremely unfilial!
How can an unfilial person become the Goddess of Fortune?
She should make good use of this opportunity. If she does, it won't be difficult for her to return to the palace and enjoy the honor again.
The old princess closed her eyes and thought quietly.
…………
To be honest, Yan Shiyue's days in the palace were not very good.
There are all kinds of rules and etiquette, and all kinds of small talk when meeting people... Emperor Ming Yandi, the emperor, has a grand court meeting on New Year's Day. Who would dare to believe that he can't sleep in all year round? It's such a high-risk and high-pressure job. I don't know why everyone wants to do it.
And here is the princess.
The only unmarried women in the palace were the Sixth Princess, the Seventh Princess, and the Eighth Princess. They had no titles and were all younger than her.
After all, after recognizing her ancestral roots, her birthday was also confirmed. She will be fifteen years old on August 15th of this year.
The Sixth Princess was born in the same year as her, in December. The Seventh Princess was one year younger, and the Eighth Princess was only one year old, so her count can be ignored.
A group of six or seven came to visit her.
When they met for the first time, Yan Shiyue felt a little unhappy and decided not to see each other again.
After all, he is young, has been pampered, has not experienced the hardships of life, and cannot conceal his emotions well.
That kind of arrogance due to one's status, that kind of grievance of condescending, that kind of contempt for her behavior and rules... and the deliberate intimacy and flattery on their faces formed two extremes, which made people feel so embarrassed.
In fact, Emperor Ming Yan was a man who took great care in educating his son, but paid little attention to the princess.
After all, in this era, it is the mistress's responsibility to educate her daughter. Even in ordinary people, the head of the family rarely takes care of his daughter.
Extreme inferiority complex will give rise to extreme arrogance. If one is ignored for a long time, he will become more fond of showing off and being decent, and become more arrogant.
Yan Shiyue was too lazy to argue with them, but she didn't like them either.
The three of them chatted for a while without getting along, and her mother came to rescue her. Yan Shiyue rushed over and hugged her as soon as she entered: "Mother, you are really amazing. How did you know that we can't talk to each other?"
The Imperial Concubine shushed her and chuckled, "No one can talk to them. Fortunately, there is no chance to chat for long. We can just deal with it."
She glanced at her and laughed, "You've been in the palace for the past few days like a monkey on a rope. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to hold back and have a fit, so I quickly asked someone to bring you here."
Mom!
Real mother! How can you say that to your daughter? No matter how you look at it, she will be a stunning beauty in the future!
But Yan Shiyue had to admit that she was right.
She reluctantly stayed in the palace for another night, and when she saw that Emperor Ming Yan was not there, she left.
As soon as I got home, I found a lot of posts at home.
The imperial examination was approaching. Before and after the New Year, many candidates from other places came to the capital to take part in the subsequent imperial examination. Many of them were scholars from Qinzhou. Some were for her, some were for Xu Wenqu, Tang Shirong, and even Huo Qiyang.
She really didn't know how to deal with this kind of post, so she went to ask Yan Shirui.
Yan Shirui smiled and said, "At this time, which family doesn't receive a few invitations from candidates? You don't need to care about it, but you are the Queen of Qinzhou after all, and your reputation is well-known. What I mean is that you can ask someone to send some wine and food to the Qinzhou Guild Hall, and then say a few nice words...
Anyway, you are a woman, so it is not impolite not to show up. But you'd better hide yourself these days. If people see you on the street, you will inevitably get into trouble. Especially, don't go to Deshan Garden as much as possible. Sometimes these scholars will do something wrong, and it's really hard to say. They are the ones who act noble, ahem... they are also the ones who act noble. In short, it's better to stay away from them."
When Yan Shiyue heard him cough, he immediately had wrong thoughts, thinking, could there be another candidate who would recommend himself for her bed?
