Chapter 482 Chapter 483: I don’t know if it’s true or false
Several people’s marriages followed soon after. Song Weiqian and Song Weiyue went south to study again, and the marriage would have to be put on hold. Song Weichang and Song Weiming would start a family after they established their careers.
The third brother, Song Weiyue, was the elder brother. Logically speaking, he should marry first. However, because he insisted on studying and left a message for his younger brother to get married first, even if Cai was dissatisfied, she could not defeat her husband, not to mention that there was a concubine Che who fanned the flames.
Moreover, now that Song Yuming has passed the examination as a Shujishi, Cai can't treat him as lightly as before, so he has to grit his teeth and accept it.
Song Fanchang chose the young daughter of the minister of Honglu Temple, and Song Fanming chose the daughter of a scholar who served as a lecturer. Neither of their parents-in-law was considered a high-ranking family in the capital, but their official reputations were pretty good.
Song Weiran has already married the princess, so when his younger brother marries a daughter-in-law, he doesn’t have to choose someone from a high-ranking family.
Aunt Che was not very satisfied with Song Ming's marriage, but Song Jinxuan came to persuade her, "There are so many people watching at this time, and my aunt must not do anything stupid. My brother entered the Hanlin Academy because he wanted to follow the path of a noble scholar from the Qing Dynasty. This marriage couldn’t be better.”
After all, Aunt Che was just a concubine, with a low background and no knowledge of outside affairs. After hearing what her daughter said, she had no choice but to forget it and whispered: "That's what you said, just wait until the eldest young master gets married." Wife, let’s see what Madam will choose.”
Song Jinxuan saw that Aunt Che's appearance had aged a bit in the past few years, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She knew that she didn't dare to let go for her brother's sake. Now that she finally got through it, things would be better in the future.
"The eldest young master is the legitimate son, and there is no comparison with him. His future career is to be a good official and find his own path. You might as well think about it now and ask your father to spend more money to buy some family property for your younger brother. That's what matters." Song Jinxuan said jokingly.
Instead of letting my aunt think about things, it is better to find something for her to do, so as not to do bad things with good intentions and be caught by the madam again. At this time, it is the younger brother who is embarrassed.
As expected, Aunt Che became more energetic, "You don't have to worry about it, your brother will have no share in his future title, and I won't be able to compensate him for it."
"Then what are you worried about? My brother has a plan and knows how to go. When he marries a wife in the future, my aunt will have to be more careful in her work."
Aunt Che had a bitter look on her face. She was a concubine and couldn't act like a mother-in-law in front of the second young master's wife. She couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of this.
What's the point of being a concubine? If you bend your head and bow your head all your life, you will end up with nothing in your hands.
Aunt Che didn't show her face at all for fear that her daughter would be worried. She also discussed with her daughter what kind of meeting gift she would give her when her new daughter-in-law came in, and how to give it to her.
Song Jinxuan originally thought not to let Aunt Che do this. Her younger siblings came from scholarly families and were very strict about rules, so they might not take a concubine seriously. At most, because she is my younger brother's biological mother, I just show respect to her on weekdays.
But looking at Aunt Che's expectant face, she felt sad, so she still helped her with advice.
They were both very old, so their wedding dates were set a year ago, and they married their wives one after the other.
Yunzhao could not go to watch the ceremony, but he gave the new daughter-in-law a reward. She also gave the betrothal gift to her head, and the ceremony was full of pomp.
After winter, the weather suddenly became colder. The chill was worse than last year. The Queen Mother was older and was the first to fall ill.
The fragrance of medicine came to Shoukang Palace. Under the eaves of the corridor, a young palace maid was boiling medicine. When she saw a group of people, she stood up and saluted.
The door of the main hall opened, and An Shutong hurriedly walked out, "Concubine, I pay my respects to the empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Wan, Concubine Zhuang." "Concubine An, there is no need to be formal, get up. How is the Queen Mother's health today? How is her spirit? Are you okay?" Song Yunzhao walked into the hall and asked.
An Shutong followed several people into the palace and said softly: "The Queen Mother has just fallen asleep after taking the medicine. I'm afraid she won't be able to see the other ladies. Today the imperial doctor came to check her pulse and said that the Queen Mother's evil wind had entered her body and she was slow. Take the medicine slowly, I'm afraid it will take a while."
After all, the Queen Mother is old, so she does not dare to use too strong medical medicine, so she can only regulate it carefully.
Knowing that the Queen Mother was fine, Song Yunzhao felt at ease. She and the Queen Mother had not gotten along very well over the years, but since she became the imperial concubine, the Queen Mother was sensible and did not cause any trouble for her.
If they can live in such peace, Yun Zhao naturally hopes that the Queen Mother will be healthy.
As he spoke, Aunt Yao quickly walked into the palace, "I have seen some of the ladies. Hello, Madam. The Queen Mother is awake. Please invite the ladies to come in and talk."
Song Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Mother Yao, get up quickly. I will go in to pay homage to the Queen Mother right now."
Concubine Shu and others followed. Concubine Wan was weak and could not stand the cold. She had to endure the wind and snow all the way. She did not recover even after entering the palace, and her face turned a little pale.
The medicinal smell in the dormitory is even stronger, and mixed with the smell of sandalwood, it is really unpleasant.
Yun Zhao didn't show any emotion on his face. He looked at the Queen Mother half-sitting on the bed leaning on a soft pillow, and then he brought the three concubines up to greet him, "I would like to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Does the Queen Mother feel better today?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked several people to get up, "It's hard for you to come here. It's very cold today. Don't come here again." Then she looked at Concubine Wan's face and said, "Look at Concubine Wan's face. She's not as good as an old woman like me." Woolen cloth."
Song Yunzhao thought that the Queen Mother had changed her gender, and she actually made jokes, acting like she was in love with them and living in harmony with them.
She didn't want to make trouble, and sat down on a chair beside her, and then said softly: "Originally, the emperor was going to come to visit the Queen Mother in person today, but reports kept coming from the border town. I looked at His Majesty with a solemn expression. I don’t dare to ask any more questions. Your Majesty has asked your concubine to serve the Queen Mother well. Just take good care of your health and come to see you when your Majesty is free."
After listening to the concubine's words, the Queen Mother covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly. She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "National affairs are important. The Ai family is just a minor illness. There is no need to mobilize troops. You have to take care of the second prince, so there is no need." Running back and forth. There is an concubine here in the Ai family, so just don't worry."
An Shutong hurriedly stood up and responded.
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is considerate of my concubines. I am very grateful. Your Majesty the Queen Mother needs to take care of the second prince. Concubine Wan is weak and cannot withstand the cold wind. However, I and Concubine Zhuang are strong and do not need to take care of the children. You But don’t think we are annoying. If you are bored, let me come and relieve your boredom.”
Song Yunzhao looked at the harmonious scene in the room and thought that if Feng Yi saw it, his jaw would drop.
This is the first time that the Queen Mother has returned to the palace in so many years.
I don’t know if it’s sincere or if I have other plans.
