Chapter 159 (1/2)
However, what Miss Zheng didn't expect was that the fourth Prince and concubine appreciated Chu Xi so much.
The fourth Prince and concubine said, ”you like plain and elegant clothes. Your mother just gave you a lot of smoke cage gauze in the palace. I'll send someone to you tomorrow to dress up. The palace likes you little girls. It's pleasing to the eyes. How nice!”
Chu Xi quickly refused, saying that she was humble and couldn't afford it. She was blocked back by the four princes and concubines: ”don't talk nonsense. What is humble or not? They will be sisters in the future!”
After that, he patted her on the back of her hand and said sincerely, ”I can't wait to become a family with my sister. I hope my sister won't let me wait for a long time.”
Chu Xi trembled at the bottom of her heart, her eyebrows and eyes were shy, and she answered low.
Seeing her like this, the fourth Prince and imperial concubine smiled more and more friendly. Obviously, she was very satisfied with Chu Xi.
The fourth imperial concubine paid so much attention to Chu Xi that no matter how many noble women hated her, they didn't dare to neglect her openly. For a time, they were really friendly.
Even if I am not convinced, what can I do? Who told people to gain power!
When it comes to gaining power, I don't know who mentioned that the Meng family will move back to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River.
Hearing the Meng family, Chu Zhi moved in his heart. He didn't know which Meng family they were talking about?
Just thinking, I heard someone ask what Chu Zhi thought: ”which Meng family is it?”
”Which Meng family can there be?” said Hai Xinlan. ”Naturally, it's the Meng family out of the queen.”
Everyone took a breath.
The Meng family is the founder of the country. All the elders of the Meng family are Taifu, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, dignified and virtuous women, good-looking and reasonable. The empress of each dynasty came from the Meng family. This inherent tradition was not broken until the late emperor.
It turned out that at the time of the first emperor, the three painless and disaster free girls of the Meng family died of illness one after another at the time of their wedding.
And the death is strange.
This caused a panic. Rumors were everywhere. People were terrified. It was impossible. The first emperor asked the imperial supervisor to divine. The divination image said that the Meng family woman was incompatible with the first emperor's eight characters. If it was forcibly sealed, it would hinder the country.
Since it was an unwritten rule since the founding of the people's Republic of China that the women of the Meng family should be the queen, the first emperor chose the women of the Meng family as the queen by skipping the eight characters of ”he” and directly decreed to be canonized as the queen.
What the royal family pays most attention to is the eight characters. Because of this tradition, it omits this matter, which leads to this tragedy. It is also ridiculous.
The Meng family lost three daughters in a row. The whole family was in great grief, and the old master Meng fell ill.
On his deathbed, Meng laotaifu asked the former Emperor to go back to his hometown in Jiangnan. Before he died, he looked at his hometown in Jiangnan. It was still useless for the former Emperor to stay again and again, so he could only play it.
When the Meng family left Beijing, the former Emperor personally sent them to ten miles outside the city. It is said that the corners of his eyes were red. He was reluctant to give up the old master Meng.
Now nearly thirty years have passed, and it is surprising that the Meng family is finally coming back.
As soon as haixinlan said this, someone asked, ”why did the Meng family suddenly return to Beijing? Could it be...”
The Crown Princess died of illness three years ago. Now three years later, the crown princess's position is vacant. The court said that the official had asked the emperor to choose the crown princess for the crown prince. Since ancient times, the Meng family has been the queen. Is it because the Meng family came back at this time?
Thinking of this, everyone looked different.
Sure enough, Hai Xinlan sneered and said, ”what else can I do for? It's not obvious that the lice on the bald head! It's a pity...”
Does the Meng family think it's still before? Do they really think that when they come back, they can have a daughter to be a crown princess and a queen in the future?
With the change of the court, the Meng family used to be powerful. After 30 years, it is only in vain. Do you want to compete for the position of crown princess? Oh! Save it!
After haixinlan said it, no one dared to answer.
