239, the palace is happy(1/2)
Concubine Liu wanted to persuade Princess Xinyang again. The little palace maid reported that Prince of Dingguo was coming, and Princess Xinyang supported her waist with one hand.
"Don't worry about the mother's mother. My daughter knows it. The prince is here to pick up her daughter. My daughter will go back today and go to the palace to visit her mother's mother another day."
"Go."
Princess Xinyang nodded and walked out. She saw the handsome young man under the corridor and unconsciously thought of Princess Duanmin.
On the way, Princess Xinyang couldn't help asking, "Chang Xun, no, now it should be Princess Duanmin. She was adopted by her mother and queen. Now she is the legitimate princess, with a noble status..."
"What does the princess want to say?" asked the princess of Dingguo Hou.
Princess Xinyang squinted her eyes and looked at her, "Duan Min's identity has changed. She will stay in Kyoto City in the future and will not marry far away. I am worried that Duan Min will target me or be unfavorable to Dingguo Marquis' Mansion because of me and you."
"The princess is worried too much. It is her own blessing to have the luck of Princess Duanmin today, and Princess Duanmin is not such a person."
After hearing this, Princess Xinyang felt worse and her voice became colder, "You know Duanmin's character."
The prince of Dingguo was puzzled. It was clearly what Princess Xinyang mentioned by himself, so why did he blame him?
"Let's go, go home!"
Princess Xinyang is domineering and not being able to dominate. She has always been domineering in the Marquis’ Mansion of Dingguo, not to mention a concubine, as long as the Marquis of Dingguo dares to be with any maid, she will definitely not be able to see the maid the next day.
In front of outsiders, Princess Xinyang has always been well-behaved, considerate and generous, and understanding. Everyone praised the prince of the country for being blessed and married a princess to go back.
Only the prince of Dingguo knew in his heart what the real life was like.
...
Wei Shi accompanied Princess Duan Min to treat her legs every day, and would take a medicine bath every now and then. When Princess Duan Min heard that the team of marriage had left, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Qi, thank you, and the second emperor brother."
"You are polite princess. There are still people in this world who care about the princess, right?"
"Yeah!" Princess Duan Min nodded, with the corners of her mouth curled up, and it felt so good to be spoiled. She had never experienced being cared for since she was a child. "In the future, I will live for myself and not let the second emperor worry."
"That's right." Wei Jing reached out to take care of the black show for Princess Duan Min, and tried the temperature of the water with her fingertips. "Soak it for another half an hour today."
"good."
Princess Duanmin is very obedient. The more she is, the more distressing it is. Wei Jing sat on a chair next to her and asked quietly, "Does the princess still care about the prince?"
Princess Duanmin turned her head to look at Wei Xi, her eyes flashed with dullness, and she bit her red lips for a long time before she said, "Am I useless?"
"No, the princess is very good, it's just bad luck." Wei Jing hesitated whether to tell Princess Duanmin about the situation of Princess Marquis of Dingguo and Princess Xinyang. Before he could speak, he heard Princess Duanmin shake his head, "Xiaoqi, don't worry, I won't worry about what doesn't belong to me. Now I am the legitimate princess of Beijin and have a noble status, so I don't want to do those embarrassing things. I can't lose the face of the second emperor."
Wei Jing smiled, "It's good that the princess can think so, it's because the prince is not worthy of you."
"Xiao Qi, everything has passed, I have slowly let it go."
"The princess said very much."
As time goes by, and Princess Duanmin actively cooperates with the treatment, the effect is significant. Princess Duanmin can slowly move her steps with the help of the palace maids. Princess Duanmin is very excited. In just a few months, her temperament is like a different person.
Xiao Zhan came to see him once, and Princess Duan Min walked slowly towards Xiao Zhan, "Second Brother, thanks to Xiao Qi."
Xiao Zhan glanced at Wei Jin, his eyes full of gratitude. Wei Jin pouted, "Your Highness owes me another favor."
"Stop talking about favors, everyone belongs to you." Xiao Zhan lowered his voice and said, Wei Shi's face was blushing, and he glared at Xiao Zhan with annoyance.
Princess Duanmin grinned, "When I get ready, I won't leave Xiaoqi by my side."
"What the princess said? Could it be that she disliked me?"
"It's time to leave the palace." Xiao Zhan interrupted Wei Jin. After Wei Jin stayed in the palace for a day, Xiao Zhan's heart would never relax. If Wei Jin made any mistakes in the palace or was injured, Xiao Zhan would definitely not be able to spare himself.
Princess Duanmin held Wei Jing in her hand, "How could I dislike you? It's just that you stayed with me, and the second emperor brother was restless every day."
"The princess has learned bad things, and she actually joked with me." Wei Jing squinted her eyes with Princess Duan Min, and the atmosphere of the three of them was just right.
Xiao Zhan couldn't stay for too long, so he left for a while. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Wei Yin to be careful in everything, and brought a lot of her favorite snacks to Wei Yin.
"The second emperor brother is so nice. Xiaoqi, you will definitely be very happy in the future."
Wei Jing curled her lips and smiled, "That's it, I found it myself."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Occasionally, Concubine Li Xian would come to visit Princess Duan Min. The two of them sat for an hour and couldn't say a few words. Most of the time, Princess Duan Min would keep silent with her head down. Concubine Li Xian sighed from time to time and said some apologies.
"The matter has passed, the mother doesn't have to take it to heart, the son has forgotten."
Concubine Lixian held Princess Duanmin's hand, "You are already the legitimate princess, the queen treats you well. As long as you are well-behaved and gentle, your life will be fine, and no one will force you to kiss..."
"What the mother said is, this is what the son minister earned with his life. The mother really cherishes his son minister very much."
Concubine Li Xian let go of her hand, "Mother knows that you are still blaming your mother. Chang Xun, it's useless to be a mother and can't protect you. Seeing your body getting better day by day, Mother and Mother are happy for you."
"Um."
After sitting for a while, Concubine Li Xian felt so upset when she saw Princess Duanmin's depressed look. She didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she stood up and left.
After the man left, Princess Duanmin looked up at the sky and shouted softly, "Xiao Qi?"
"I am here."
"Actually, the person whom the mother is most sorry for is the second emperor's brother, not me."
Wei Jing bent down and sat on the small stool, holding his chin with one hand and listening carefully. Princess Duanmin looked sideways, "It was the mother's suggestion that the second emperor's brother be the host. It was the mother who personally sent the second emperor to Nanliang. This trip took a full ten years, and the mother ignored him."
Wei Jing was shocked, and he really didn't know about this.
"why is that?"
Princess Duanmin shook her head, "I don't know either. I once asked my mother and thought about whether the second prince was not born by the mother, so the mother wouldn't care?"
"What's the result?"
"It's better to adopt it than this. The nanny in the palace said that when the mother was pregnant with the second emperor, she was very gentle, but later, she became cold and ignored the second emperor. When she was a child, the second emperor was introverted and bullied outside and came back from injury, but the mother didn't even look at it."
Is there any such mother in the world?
Wei Jin heard the thrust in his heart and felt sorry for Xiao Zhan for no reason. Xiao Zhan would never talk about this. Even though he was treated like this, Wei Jin could see that Xiao Zhan still had the position of Concubine Li Xian in his heart, but he just didn't mention it.
"Probably because of the eldest prince Heng Wang?"
Princess Duan Min nodded, "Concubine Liu and her mother are cousins. They entered the palace together. The grandfather's family is much better to the eldest brother than to the second brother. Although her grandfather does not beat and scold the second brother, she is very distant. She is very intimate with the eldest brother and will give her homework in person. Once, the grandfather and the second brother went to the grandfather's family, but the grandfather sent the second brother back to the palace and left the eldest brother to spend the night in the Su family. Later, the second brother knew that the grandfather's family did not like him, so they gradually stopped going."
"Your Highness did not make any mistakes at that time. Why did Old Master Su treat Your Highness like this?"
"I'm afraid that Concubine Liu is unhappy. The Su family and the Liu family are dedicated to supporting the eldest brother and do not leave any opportunity to ease the second brother."
"It can be argued that the relationship between the Second Highness and the Su family is much closer than that between King Heng and the Su family. The Su family's attitude is indeed unpredictable."
Even if King Heng ascended the throne one day, what benefits could the Su family get? At most, it would be promoted. The one who gets the most benefits is the Liu family, the family of King Heng.
But if Xiao Zhan ascended the throne and became emperor, the Su family would be the new emperor's grandfather's family. The Su family had an emperor and an empress dowager. What a glory?
Princess Duanmin looked around and saw that there was no one around. She held Wei Jing's hand and whispered, "I once heard my grandfather talk to my mother. My grandfather said that the second emperor's brother had no hope of ascending the throne as emperor. In order to protect the Su family, he had to rely on the Liu family."
"Where does this start?"
"I don't know very well what exactly, and my mother never says it."
Wei Gui's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered the first time he saw Xiao Zhan in Nanliang. Xiao Zhan was infected with a poison in his body. He would be tortured every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Although this poison was removed, who actually sent it?
"Xiao Qi, if one day I become a stumbling block for the Second Emperor Brother, if someone threatens the Second Emperor Brother, please remember that you don't care about me. I don't blame the Second Emperor Brother, nor do I hate him. As long as the Second Emperor Brother lives well, I will be fine."
Wei Ji patted Princess Duanmin's hand in reverse, "Don't talk nonsense, how can you do it if you have fewer family members? If Your Highness can't protect you, even if you sit in that position, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life. The princess is not allowed to be stupid."
Princess Duanmin's eyes turned red, "Xiaoqi, I have never felt that I was so important."
"Of course it's important, you can't be missing."
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year was that Princess Duanmin could walk, her cheeks were as beautiful as jade, and her complexion was good. She sat obediently under Queen Ruan’s knees, and the ladies who came to worship Queen Ruan were all stunned when they saw this.
Is this Princess Duanmin?
Concubine Liu was also shocked and glanced at Princess Duanmin's knees, "The eldest princess has a straight leg and foot. What doctor can heal the eldest princess? The queen needs a lot of rewards."
Queen Ruan pulled Princess Duan Min and smiled slightly, "Duan Min is a lucky child. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. It is also the lucky star of my palace. This is Duan Min's own fortune. Only Duan Min Chenghuan's knees are around me, which also relieves my loneliness."
"In a few days, Princess Duanmin should be seventeen years old. She is in her prime and has such a beautiful child. I don't know whose son will be lucky in the future." Concubine Liu said as she glanced at Concubine Qin not far away, and Concubine Qin immediately agreed.
"Yes, let her go over the past. People always have to look forward. Although Princess Duanmin has no chance with the Princess of Dingguo and has not been married to Wu, she can still survive and save her life. She can stay in Beijin and have the status of a princess, so it is not difficult to find a good husband."
This statement clearly mocked Princess Duanmin in all kinds of past. When the ladies present heard this, they immediately avoided Princess Duanmin.
Princess Duanmin raised her eyebrows, "The princess can't understand what Qin Fei said. It was the father who had terminated the marriage with the Prince of Dingguo Marquis. Is Qin Fei blaming her father or accusing Xinyang of taking advantage of the danger and marrying the Prince of Dingguo Marquis because of her identity as a princess?"
Concubine Qin was stunned, as if she could not believe her ears. The timid and cowardly princess dared to retort her in public.
"I don't want to be married to the Wu Kingdom. This matter has been a long time since it has been mentioned in public. What does Qin mean? This princess has been a royal princess since she was born. Why did it seem like this princess bullying others in the eyes of Qin?"
"Princess, Concubine Qin did not mean this. Why did the princess wrongly accuse others? There is no reason to be accused of the crime. Besides, what Concubine Qin said was the fact." Concubine Liu was not afraid and snorted coldly.
"Rareless!" Princess Duan Min frowned and pointed at Concubine Liu, "Concubine Liu has been in the palace for so many years, but she has forgotten the rules. This princess is a first-rank princess. Concubine Qin is just a second-rank princess and slandered this princess in public. Concubine Liu even helped Concubine Qin speak, but he takes this princess seriously?"
Suddenly, he was pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded him not knowing the rules. Concubine Liu was stunned and was still scolded by an inconspicuous princess in public. How could Concubine Liu bear such grievances?
"The eldest princess is so powerful. She has become the legitimate princess and even her aura is different. The Empress, I and Concubine Qin are elders at least. I just kindly mentioned a few words, but I actually treated the eldest princess like this."
Concubine Liu was so angry that she directly pointed her finger at Empress Ruan. For so many years, Empress Ruan did not ask about right or wrong and lived in seclusion in Fengqi Palace, and even handed over the power. Concubine Liu was inferior to ten thousand people, and almost forgot how to write the word "tolerance".
