Chapter 580 (1/2)
When the sandalwood box was opened, there was a letter in it.
Seeing the letter, Chu Zhi suddenly hesitated: ”if this is the Queen's last words to the crown prince, it's inappropriate for us to open it like this.”
Meng Wan said, ”if so, why don't you hand it over to the crown prince? Don't you think it's strange? The queen has something to say. She has to write a letter and hide it in the dark box? Is she afraid of being found or doesn't want to be found? We were hit by it, what if?”
Understanding the meaning of Meng Wan's words, Chu Zhi bit his teeth and said, ”let's have a look.”
But no one thought that the opening of this letter would reveal a secret that had been hidden for 20 years and set off an uproar in the whole girder.
The letter briefly describes the half life of the former queen, Li Meishu.
When Li Meishu was a girl, Xiao Qirong looked at her and asked her to marry her. The heavenly family gave her a marriage, and the former Emperor personally presided over it. The glory of the Li family reached its peak for a while.
No matter how many concubines Xiao Qirong has, his favor and respect for Li Meishu have never changed. The Li family has unlimited honor. Li Meishu knows that her majesty loves her.
Two years later, the state of Chu made peace with the state of Liang and sent two princesses LINGJI and Lianji.
Princess Lianji was born by the empress of the state of Chu. She once had the name of a saint. She had excellent medical skills. She was full of poetry and books. Her heart was kind and gentle. She was respected and loved by the people of the state of Chu; Although Princess LINGJI's birth is not high, she is a witch of the state of Chu. She is deeply loved by the high priest of the state of Chu and is also a person of great status.
Chu sent the two princesses to make peace, which shows their sincere attitude.
The queen thought that emperor Xiao would leave them all. However, the imperial supervisor said that Lianji clashed with her Majesty's fate. If it was a princess, it might bring disaster to the state of Liang. In addition, General Han took the initiative to ask for an order to marry. It turned out that general Han had known and promised to marry the princess long ago. This time, Lianji was also promised by General Han.
Seeing that the Xiao emperor was embarrassed, the queen took the initiative to make peace: ”in that case, it's better to give Lianji to General Han as his wife and canonize LINGJI as Lingfei. It's just the best of both worlds.”
Han Zhishan won the war. He didn't want anything. He wanted Lianji. Coincidentally, Lianji clashed with the life of emperor Xiao, and LINGJI was beneficial to the country. The Queen's arrangement was the most reasonable.
Han Zhishan, who had Princess Lianji, became more and more loyal to the Xiao emperor. The queen knew the safety of the state of Liang. Thanks to Han Zhishan's protection, she treated Lianji with great courtesy. However, somehow, Lianji didn't like to come to the palace, and Princess Ling always said some meaningful words when she saw that Lianji was in the same frame with the queen. Although the queen was kind, she was not stupid, After hearing this with emperor Xiao, Emperor Xiao said, ”they didn't get along well when they fought in the state of Chu. It's good if you ask them to meet and don't fight.”
Don't say that the state of Chu is the state of Liang. There are many discord between princes and princesses, so the queen knows what's going on. After that, she doesn't ask them to meet again.
And Ling Fei said to the queen, ”the empress is really kind-hearted. You think my sister is a fairy and a confidant. Unexpectedly, it's just a story of a farmer and a snake.”
At that time, the empress felt that Ling Fei was stirring up discord. After all, they had always been hostile.
Until later, Lianji suddenly fell ill, and the Marquis rushed back to take care of her. It was not long before Lianji became pregnant. In addition, she hurt her body when she gave birth to Han Zhan. Since then, Lianji rarely entered the palace, that is, all the palace banquets on New Year's Eve recuperated in the Marquis house.
