Chapter 717 A Strange Dream
Princess Anfeng said: "If Concubine Xian doesn't make a fuss, the marriage will be held smoothly and smoothly, everyone will be happy, but if Concubine Xian makes a fuss... the princess gets married, her mother curses, and there is chaos outside. What's that?
Now the emperor's dilemma is that he cannot kill Concubine Xian before the princess gets married. He always feels sorry for his daughter, and he is unwilling to be troubled by this bad habit, and he cannot mess with etiquette. If Concubine Xian dies, the princess will have to be filial and can only drag it first."
Yuan Qingling thought to himself: How could he delay?
Now the emperor is eager to turn the Fourth Master into his son-in-law. If the Fourth Master had no idea of getting married, he would not be in a hurry for a while. But the Fourth Master had this idea and Leng Jingyan actually gave him a stack of lists. Those who could talk to Leng Jingyan were all people in high positions.
Why is the emperor not in a hurry?
Are you afraid that the Fourth Master will cultivate power after marrying a senior official in Beijing?
As Lao Wu said, it is another matter to say whether you can get a bargain from the Fourth Master, but you must be firmly in your hands so that you can be sure of everything.
Therefore, the marriage cannot be delayed. The Virtue probably knows this. Seeing that the emperor would not kill the princess before the marriage, he thought of letting go and seizing the position of the imperial concubine and cultivating the power of the Su family.
Yuan Qingling sighed in her heart. The game between these high-ranking people is really bloodless, and she thought it was a good marriage.
"If you don't agree, I believe that the emperor will ask the fifth brother to go to another place to do the job, but this will lead to the relationship between father and son."
Prince Anfeng said.
Yuan Qingling thought about it over and over again and had to say, "If there is really no other way, then you can only do this. The Empress Dowager persuaded the Virtuous Concubine, and the Wu Lao was also persuaded. Even you can't persuade them tonight, so there is really no other way out."
Princess Anfeng said: "Now everyone wants to save her life, but she can't resist her own desire to hit the knife."
Yes, actually, Concubine Xian is very annoying, but because she is the biological mother of Lao Wu, many people want to save her life, but she doesn't want to. Who can do it?
In the distance, the sound of firecrackers came, and a big crackling sound was heard. What kind of undercurrents are there in the peaceful and prosperous times?
After the evening banquet, Yuwenhao asked someone to send Yuan Qingling and his children back to the house first. He was still unable to leave. He was the prince. Although he did not live in the Eastern Palace, he had to stay in the palace for a long time. Not only him, many princes and princes stayed until very late.
Yuan Qingling took the child back to the mansion. Grandma had not eaten yet, so she was waiting for her to come back.
She asked the wet nurse to take the child to bed, and then wiped her face and came out.
"You don't have to wait for me, aren't you hungry?"
Yuan Qingling saw the steaming food on the table, all of which were delicious home-cooked side dishes, which were made by grandma, and her eyes suddenly became hot.
Grandma Yuan pulled her down and looked at her and sighed softly, "Grandma must wait for you to have this New Year's Eve dinner with you. In the year when you had an accident, every household was setting off firecrackers and watching the Spring Festival Gala. They were reunited, but our house was deserted and no one even said anything. That night, your mother cried all night. When the next day, her eyes were swollen and her nose was stuffed, and she couldn't speak. Someone came to pay New Year's greetings. Your mother said she had a cold. When she said this, her tears came down and she hurried back to the room to hide."
Yuan Qingling's nose was sore that she couldn't help but cry. Homesickness and kindness were always the biggest pain in her heart.
Grandma Yuan took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears and looked at her kindly, "Don't cry, just be together. They know your current situation and I will definitely be able to have a good year. Come on, don't cry, don't cry, make a New Year wish."
Yuan Qingling turned to laugh. When he was young, during the New Year, his grandmother would always ask her and her brother to make wishes during the New Year dinner, saying that when the New Year’s Day was on the first day, his wish would come true.
My childhood wish was nothing more than eating and having fun. Grandma would prepare it in advance, and pretend to be Santa Claus on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
What a happy childhood, but unfortunately I can't go back.
"Hurry, make a wish!"
Grandma urged.
Yuan Qingling then put his hands together, closed his eyes, and recited several sentences in his heart, hoping that he would still meet his parents and brother in his lifetime.
She opened her eyes and saw her grandmother looking at her with earnest eyes, "What wish did you make?"
Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "I made a big wish, hoping that I could get up early tomorrow morning and eat the dumplings made by my grandmother."
Grandma Yuan smiled, "That will definitely be achieved."
The grandparents and grandsons started eating. Yuan Qingling was not full in the palace and deliberately kept half of his stomach to eat with his grandmother. After talking to Princess Anfeng, he was even less in the mood to eat. Therefore, when he saw these delicious and hot meals, he immediately had a big appetite.
After dinner, the grandparents and grandchildren sat under the lamp and chatted, talking about happy things in the past. Sometimes, under specific festivals and atmospheres, they would miss home even more.
Yuan Qingling had a dream at night, dreaming that she returned to the New Year when she was a child, her mother bought her a new down, bright red one. She put the down on her body, but found that the down was bleeding and it hurt like a needle. She cried hard and asked her mother to help her take off the down. Her mother came over to help her, but she couldn't take it off. The down tightly wrapped around her, and there were so many sharp needles in it, which pierced into her flesh, and her mother hugged her and cried together.
"Yuan, wake up!"
Someone called softly in his ear, his tone was burning. She felt her hands holding her, covering her warm lips, and gradually she felt the pain of the needle disappear.
It's the fifth old man.
She slowly opened her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be heavy. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure shaking outside her eyes and then closed again.
She was still dreaming, but there was no bloody down in the dream. She dreamed that she was standing on the other side of the river. Lao Wu was watching her from afar. She wanted to go over, but there were no bridges or boats on the river. She watched Lao Wu dive into the river and swim.
She sat on the shore and waited. The wind was strong and it was very cold. The flowers and plants on the river bank changed color. The sun hid in the clouds and the sky suddenly became darker.
She waited for a long time, but she didn't wait until Lao Wu got up from the river.
Her heart felt very calm, as if she knew where Lao Wu was, so she took off her shoes and walked down the river. The water slowly soaked her waist, chest, and neck until the cold water poured into her mouth and nose. Her heart was still calm.
The breath was taken away from her chest, and the powerful sense of pressure made her unable to breathe.
Then, suddenly, someone hugged her waist and soared into the sky. The air suddenly came back. She took a deep breath, and the pressure in her chest disappeared, and someone stroked her face.
She opened her eyes, the light was dim, and what caught her eye was Lao Wu's anxious face and his red eyes.
"You're waking up!"
His voice even more swallowed, and he hugged her tightly with both hands.
