Chapter 494

Empress Dowager Su's illness has invisibly caused many undercurrents.

A family like the Su family would never watch the power of the harem fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Cao.

However, although Zijin also thought about the situation of the Su family, He Zijin, as an onlooker, obviously had different thinking. He Zijin privately told A Nian, "For the Su family, it is our family. Regardless of the relationship between our two families, I like Empress Dowager Su more. But there is one thing, Empress Dowager Cao is no longer popular, and this is also the current biological mother."

A Nian obviously has his own opinion on power. A Nian said, "This matter has nothing to do with identity. Not to mention the biological mother of today, the current ancestor Emperor Taizong reborn and wants to regain the government. It is not like the master who can control the government. A big family like the Su family will not take a step back easily."

He Zijin and A Nian gossip, "Then do you think the Su family will retreat or not?"

A Nian thought for a while, "The Su family will never retreat at the moment. Shangshu Su is in the cabinet, and it is good for personal relationships with the Empress Dowager. The Cao family is not as good as the Su family. Furthermore, Empress Dowager Su has a right position, and she is the first emperor and the first emperor and the first emperor are the first to be the queen, and the Cao family is one short of their status. At this time, the Su family will never retreat."

"What about the future?"

"In the future, unless the court changes suddenly." A Nian said, "The family of the Su family is a family of eunuchs, and the Cao family is just a family of outbreaks. Moreover, the Cao family is not very smart when it comes to doing things. The Cao family is 80% thinking about what his sister said. After all, they are from the outside of His Majesty's bloodline, and they are only prone to being arrogant. However, this sentence should be spoken before His Majesty takes power. Now the Empress Dowager and the Cabinet are in power, and his family is still indifferent. At present, Empress Dowager Cao is still there, and for the sake of Empress Dowager Cao, his family is not in a position to prevent him from falling. After that, if he keeps like this, he will not be able to lose for two or three generations."

In fact, these general trends in the harem and court have nothing to do with the Jiang family. The couple, the side-born, like to talk privately.

After having a gossip at home, He Zijin will unconsciously pay attention to it if he enters the palace again.

For example, when the news of Empress Dowager Su's slightly ill came out, there were many more women who came to the palace to pay tribute. After all, this is the current legitimate mother and the current empress dowager. Empress Dowager Su is gentle and has a very good reputation in the imperial decree. Many relatives and old friends heard that Empress Dowager Su was sick, and those who could enter the palace handed over a sign to greet him.

Among them are Princess Wenhui and her daughter Miss Liu Yueliu.

Liu Yue's mother was the princess, her father was the earl, and the late emperor gave her an order to personally give her marriage to the present emperor. This marriage is absolutely for sure. Liu Yue is the future queen of the central palace. Therefore, when she heard that Empress Dowager Su was ill, Princess Wen Hui hurriedly took her daughter to the palace to pay her respects.

The Empress Dowager was also very concerned about Empress Dowager Su. The Empress Dowager said, "Asu has always been filial to me. A few days ago, because of my Qianqiu Festival, she had to do everything herself and refused to slack off at all. She was tired. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. She had to get up yesterday. I told her to rest for a few more days, otherwise I would not be at ease."

Princess Wen Hui smiled and said, "Auntie is like a daughter of the Empress Dowager. The name of wise and filial piety in the court is also known to everyone. I was very worried when I heard that the Empress Dowager was sick and hurriedly took Ayue to the palace to visit. I knew that the Empress Dowager was not seriously injured, so I felt relieved." Princess Wen Hui was the eldest daughter of the Emperor Renzong, the eldest daughter of King Jin. In terms of seniority, she was the niece of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said, "You are here just in time. I haven't seen Ayue for a few days. Even Asu misses her very much." He then ordered the palace servants to take Liu Yue to Yongshou Palace to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Su.

Empress Dowager Cao stood up and said, "I'm going to visit my sister and mother, why not take Ayue there."

"That's good." The Empress Dowager nodded and agreed.

When Liu Yue left, the Empress Dowager asked Princess Wen Hui again, "Is your mother-in-law good?"

Princess Wen Hui said, "Before Ayue and I went out, my mother-in-law also asked me to greet Aunt Hou on her behalf."

The Empress Dowager laughed, "I'm all good here. As long as they take care of themselves, I'll feel at ease."

Even if He Zijin was an attendant, he knew that the Empress Dowager and the Liu family were not ordinary friendship after hearing this.

He Zijin didn't know what happened next, because when it came, she would teach the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun.

However, a few days later, when He Zijin came to the palace to teach according to time, the Empress Dowager told her, "Dunning told me that the eldest princess and Jiachun are older and should learn to manage some things, so that they can live in separate palaces and separate places in the future. I thought that this is the case. Duanning can help me manage some common affairs when he is as old as them. In this way, the courses of your gentlemen may change." I reduced some courses for the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun, and Zijin did this four classes a month, and it was directly changed to twice.

When He Zijin went home and talked about this, Su Bing said privately, "I went back to my parents' home. My mother said that Empress Dowager Cao originally suggested that the girl from the Liu family learn together, but the Empress Dowager did not agree."

He Zijin's eyebrows thumped and said, "Empress Dowager Cao likes Miss Liu very much."

Su Bing said, "Think so, Miss Liu was personally granted marriage to the emperor by the late emperor. From now on, she will be the empress and Empress Cao will be the mother-in-law. From now on, she will be the mother-in-law."

He Zijin smiled and said, "It's the same as us."

Su Bing wrinkled his nose and whispered, "Although Empress Cao's status is noble, my wife wants to say that Empress Cao's temperament is not easy to please. It's just that the Liu family is powerful and is trying to win over the Liu family now."

He Zijin said, "Originally, the late emperor gave a marriage, and Count Liu was His Majesty's father-in-law, and Duke Liu was the father-in-law of the Tai State. Such an identity is still to win over. Although I came to the imperial capital for a relatively shallow life, I know that the Liu family is the most loyal."

"It is not to win over the country. If it is to win over the country and the court, even if it is not to win over the loyal ministers of the Liu family, they will be trembling with fear. This is just to win over the Liu family." Su Bing said, "Although Miss Liu wants to marry Your Majesty, after all, she has not yet married, so how can she go to the in-laws' house to manage the business before she has not passed the family?"

He Zijin thought about it, "I don't know what the Liu family thinks about."

Su Bing said, "I used to hear from my father that Duke Liu was a favorite general under Emperor Renzong. Duke Liu studied literature at the time. At that time, Emperor Renzong was still a vassal king. The vassal territory was in Fujian. Duke Liu began to enter the Fujian Palace to be an official. The reason why he turned into a military affairs was the recommendation of the Empress Dowager. Later, Duke Liu soared into the sky and became the great war god of our Dongmu Dynasty. Therefore, he was awarded the title of Duke."

He Zijin had also heard of some stories about Duke Liu, but He Zijin knew mostly because of the hearsay, not as detailed as Su Bing. When he was in Ci'en Palace, He Zijin felt that the Empress Dowager and the Liu family had a different relationship and did not want to be such an old friendship. He Zijin looked slightly. It seemed that the Empress Dowager must have a good intention in this way.

He Zijin really felt that the Empress Dowager was really a good person.

The Liu family had just sent the Cao family to speak, and the Count Liu Yu's face froze when he smiled. When he returned to the room, Princess Wen Hui asked, "What are the Cao family here to do?"

Liu Yu said, "Come and tell me that Empress Dowager Cao wants his daughter to marry into the palace sooner or later, so he wants to teach her daughter to become familiar with the palace affairs earlier, but he doesn't expect that the Empress Dowager did not allow him. The Cao family came to advise me not to think too much."

"What's this?" Princess Wen Hui was unhappy when she heard this and said, "Auntie is not a good intention."

"The original words are not like this, the original words are tactful, but that's what it means." Liu Yu poured himself tea and said, "The Cao family has made the Empress Dowager too narrowly think about the Empress Dowager. In the past, Empress Dowager Su was in charge of the palace affairs. Empress Dowager Su was not in good condition, so Empress Dowager Cao took over. If Princess Duanning didn't like Empress Dowager Cao, she wouldn't have asked the Grand Princess to share the palace affairs. What's more, Empress Dowager Su was just a little sick, so she wouldn't have been doing well. The Grand Princess and Princess Jiachun were all noble girls, and they were just right to learn palace affairs. Our Ayue had not married Your Majesty yet, so why did she go to help manage the affairs without crossing the door? What's more, when she went to the palace now, Ayue was stuck between the two palaces and it was difficult to be a human being. The Empress Dowager knew that our family was in a difficult situation, so she didn't respond to this matter. How could the Cao family come here to tell me again?"

In a word, who is stupid when you are stuck in the imperial capital?

Princess Wen Hui had a little worried look on her eyebrows and said, "The Cao family is now in chaos, so I don't have to pay attention to him. I am worried about something. My husband took Ayue to the palace to pay homage to Empress Su, and Empress Cao insisted on taking her over. Ayue came back and told me that Empress Cao sat in Empress Su's place and talked a lot. Ayue didn't say a word on the turn, and Empress Cao took her out."

Princess Wen Hui was born in the vassal palace. Emperor Taizong was her own grandfather. She was also a member of four generations of emperors. Princess Wen Hui said, "When the late emperor had not given a marriage, Ayue often came to the palace with me to pay tribute to my aunt and Empress Su. Empress Su is kind and gentle, and treats Ayue very well. Ayue also likes Empress Su very much. After the late emperor gave the marriage, we should be filial at the first time. Ayue has not entered the palace for several days. When she entered the palace, Empress Cao liked Ayue, so I was naturally happy. Ayue here, there were two mother-in-laws in the palace. I think Empress Cao's temperament is a bit strong." Princess Wen Hui said directly that Empress Cao was afraid that Empress Dowager Su would not be able to live in peace with Empress Dowager Su. Originally, the affairs of the Empress Dowager of the two palaces had nothing to do with Princess Wen Hui, but because the late emperor gave the marriage, the daughter would be the queen in the future, Princess Wen Hui was worried that her daughter would be very worried.

Liu Yu said, "At present, Ayue and Your Majesty are young, so why don't you worry about these things? Besides, the two empress dowagers have to listen to the empress dowager. Ayue enters the palace and as long as she serves the empress dowager, you don't have to worry."

Princess Wen Hui said repeatedly, "Auntie is really unmatched." Although Princess Wen Hui has always had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, her father, King Jin, was a little bit when he was young. How could she say that? Anyway, everyone was young at that time. King Jin, who was the eldest uncle, had a quarrel with the Empress Dowager, who was the young aunt back then. Now that the Empress Dowager takes care of Liu Yue, how can Princess Wen Hui not be grateful?

The Liu family was full of gratitude to the Empress Dowager, while the Su family was not as simple as Su Bing said.

Su Bing is already a married granddaughter, and she cannot reach the core of the family.

Mrs. Su was discussing with her husband at this time, "Didn't you say that Miss Liu will definitely be able to attend the palace affairs? Why haven't you done it now?"

"I originally thought that it would be best if Miss Liu's affairs were promoted by us or any princess. How could the Cao family ask the Cao family to bring up this matter first?" Su Buyu frowned, "You check the people in the family."

Mrs. Su's eyes changed slightly, "Master, is it that someone leaked the news?"

Su Buyu snorted coldly and then said, "The Empress Dowager rejected this matter, and it is not a big deal for our Empress."

"I heard from my niece-in-law that Empress Dowager Cao was very fond of Miss Liu in front of our empress."

"If the Liu family is easy to win over, they will not marry his girl now." Su Buyu said, "Be careful, Empress Dowager Cao wants to win over the Liu family, and there will be some actions in the future. The woman is nothing more than calling Miss Liu into the palace to talk or reward things. The Empress has always been calm and letting the Empress keep her healthy, and I have my own explanation."

Mrs. Su quickly agreed.

Su's family was investigated inside and outside, and Su Buyu was sure that the news at home had leaked. However, he could not find out who leaked it for the time being, so he had to press the matter for the time being. After all, the matter was also known by the Duke Chengen's Mansion and could not be considered very confidential. It was easy for him to investigate, but it was difficult for Chengen's Mansion to investigate.

Next, Empress Dowager Cao's actions were as expected by Su Buyu. Every now and then, she ordered people to take Liu Yue into the palace to speak, and she was rewarded from time to time, making a kind face. The Su family took a detrimental move, and the Cao family has been willing to marry the imperial capital recently. For example, the eldest grandson of the Cao family just now decided to set up the granddaughter of the eldest princess Yongfu. The Su family did nothing, but arranged people to praise the Liu family's future in front of the Cao family.

The Cao family had just married the Grand Princess Yongfu Palace, and there were many girls waiting to be married. When they thought, the Liu family was a famous family in the imperial capital. Liu Fufeng, the Duke of Liu Guo, had two titles, one was an earl and the other was a duke. How decent and prominent is this. In the imperial capital, the one that can be compared with the Liu family is that Princess Wenkang's husband's house, Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. The Li family of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion has two titles.

The Cao family also wanted to marry the Li family at first, but the Li family was very snobbish and looked down on him, and refused to marry him. The Cao family was holding their breath. When they thought of the Liu family, they felt that they had a better future than the Li family. It was nothing else. Liu Yue was the future queen. Once Liu Yue was in the central palace, according to the rules, the Liu family would definitely have another title. The father of the queen has always been named Cheng Ben Duke.

Therefore, when the Cao family thought, the Liu family was really an excellent marriage partner. In addition, in recent days, Empress Dowager Cao has been very close to Liu Yue. The close Liu Yue has planned to pretend to be sick for a while, but she really can't stand it anymore.

The Cao family had a red heart and wanted to marry the Liu family. When the matchmaker mentioned it, Liu Yu immediately said, "My father is still filial. How could I say kinship to my son at this time? Motti!" If it weren't for the Cao family's face to be the foreigner of His Majesty, Liu Yu would have to drive the matchmaker out. In this way, he would have had a bad face to serve tea and see off guests.

Princess Wen Hui was so angry that she was the princess of the royal family, her son, and later the heir of the count. Princess Wen Hui even went to the wealthy families of aristocratic families to look for her daughter-in-law. Even if the Cao family was his Majesty's outer family, Princess Wen Hui never considered his girl. What's more, Princess Wen Hui had always been close to the Queen Mother and had an emotional preference for the Queen Mother, so she didn't like Queen Mother Cao very much on weekdays. Moreover, the Cao family came from a poor family, although they were no longer cold now. Earl Cao was also a second-rank governor at the time, but with Princess Wen Hui's vision, it was still impossible to take the daughter of the Cao family.

Therefore, he was very angry.

The matchmaker replied to the Cao family, saying that Duke Liu is still in filial piety, and the Cao family also said, "Although Duke Liu is in filial piety, Earl Liu has become filial piety, let alone the children of the Count Liu family, who are also filial."

The matchmaker only hated himself for taking on this mission happily, but it was unexpectedly full. The matchmaker looked bitter and said, "The old lady is so sad that she wants to build a house in front of the grave. The Liu family is not at all socializing. I blame me for not being careful. It is indeed not appropriate to mention it at this time." People are really sad about the death of their elders, and filial piety is not a good way to show off. It is impossible for grandfather to be filial. Grandsons here discuss marriages, and there is no such reason in the world.

The Cao family was a little disappointed and had to wait until Duke Liu made a filial piety before discussing it.

Duke Liu was very quick to show filial piety. Duke Liu was filial to his grandmother, and he was filial to one year. He waited for Duke Liu to maintain his filial piety period and became the Minister of War again. The Cao family has not mentioned the matter of in-laws yet. Princess Wen Hui acted very quickly. Princess Wen Hui asked Grand Chief of Changtai as a matchmaker and asked the eldest princess for her eldest son.

The Empress Dowager laughed, "I have nothing to worry about when I see you and Ayu. But the eldest princess is still young, so I have to keep her in the palace for a few more years. You are not allowed to be anxious."

When Princess Wen Hui saw that the Empress Dowager agreed, she was very happy and said, "Yes. I just think that the eldest princess is so good. I really like her. I am afraid that I will not speak first and ask someone to steal her. Therefore, I asked Aunt Changtai to mention it first."

Because it was a royal happy event, the Empress Dowager told Your Majesty that Your Majesty also believed that the Liu family was worthy of the princess, so she personally ordered the cabinet to entrust the marriage.

The Cao family had been thinking about this for a long time, and did not predict the Liu family's direct ruler. Not only did the Cao family's plan fail, but it was just a humiliation of face. How could he bear it? When Mrs. Cao entered the palace, she couldn't help talking with the empress dowager's daughter. Empress Dowager Cao also knew about the marriage between her parents and the Liu family. Empress Dowager Cao also did not expect that the Liu family would dare to do this! Empress Dowager Cao was so angry that she alienated Liu Yue from then on. She felt very sorry for her parents' niece and said to her mother, "I don't think that child Axuan is unlucky. When my mother is free, she just takes Axuan to the palace to talk to me. The emperor has to study and follow the politics every day. I have no one around me, so I am really lonely."
