Chapter 557: Past events
"In fact, after the Lu family confiscated the house, Princess Lu was still in charge of the rear house of Prince Hui. Her salary was not reduced, and she still followed the prince into the palace during the Chinese New Year. It was only later that she did not want to manage the rear house, so she gave the housekeeper the power. Concubine Xie, who was still a concubine at the time, and my aunt."
Sheng Yuan was even more puzzled when she heard that, although the Lu family's house confiscation was inappropriate and implicated Empress Lu, the late emperor had sent the entire family into exile, and yet he dared to let this daughter-in-law be in charge of his son's back house... it seemed a little bit... strangeness.
Is this arrogance or fearlessness?
"It seems to mean that the late emperor issued an imperial edict. It probably means that as the royal daughter-in-law, Queen Lu is not affected by the Lu family."
Sheng Yuan's eyes began to question.
Good fellow, is the late emperor kind or big-hearted?
"Could it be guilt?"
After your anger subsides, you realize that it was wrong to express your anger, right? !
But the emperor wants to save face and is too embarrassed to change his mind, so he can only treat other girls favorably?
Sheng Yuan made a lot of guesses but had no answer.
After all, Anyu may not know this either.
"But if you feel guilty, why did you later pardon the Chen family but say nothing about the Lu family?" Anyu was also curious.
Sheng Yuan's eyes flashed slightly.
In her opinion, there are two situations.
Either the teacher-student relationship between the former Crown Prince and Lu Guangshan was close, and the suicide of the former Crown Prince was indeed related to Lu Guangshan; or Lu Guangshan must bear the blame, and the blame cannot be removed.
As for what kind of situation it is, time has passed and circumstances have changed, so it is neither possible nor necessary to explore.
Of course, Sheng Yuan did not tell Anyu about this speculation.
It's not that I'm worried about An Yu, the main reason is that although Empress Lu lives in seclusion and rarely shows up, she is a queen after all, and she may not have spies in the harem. An Yu often comes in and out of Qingyuan Palace and Huaning Palace, so it's better not to think too much.
Anyu also felt that he was getting more and more biased, so he immediately brought the topic back to Chen Fengsheng: "Although the Chen family was recalled to Kyoto, the late emperor did not reinstate Chen Fengsheng to his post, but only gave him a foreign minister to keep him idle at home. In addition, the emperor did not reinstate Chen Fengsheng to his post. It is to allow his descendants to continue scientific examinations."
When Sheng Yuan heard this, he counted on his fingers how many people named Chen were in the court.
Seeing how cute she was, Anyu smiled on his originally serious expression: "Sister Yuan, stop counting. There are no children in the Chen family who are officials in the court yet!"
"No?" Sheng Yuan thought that people like the Chen family who had reached high positions would not be content with being ordinary.
"I don't know if I'm afraid. Before my uncle ascended the throne, the Chen family had no disciples to take scientific examinations. In fact, in those years of the Chen family, all the children of the Chen family kept Chen Fengsheng in the mansion to study and study. There were few even a mansion. Stepping out is like not hearing what is happening outside the window, and only reading the books of sages."
"This Chen Shoufu is a capable man." Sheng Yuan felt that this man was a ruthless person!
Just because he can still suppress his desire for power after falling from a high position and follow his children's hard work and wait for a long time, he is not a simple person!
Of course, who can be the first assistant is simple!
"Of course it's not easy! You see, after my uncle ascended the throne, when the subject was opened for the first time, his children couldn't wait to sign up! It's just that the first time, the Chen family didn't release the core children of the direct branch, but sent the side branches The student is used as a stepping stone for temptation.”
Sheng Yuanxin said that maybe the Chen family was afraid that the emperor would remember their engagement with Concubine An.
After all, it seems that the emperor still attaches great importance to Concubine An.
"The marriage contract between my aunt and the Chen family was given by the late emperor himself. After the Chen family was exiled, the late emperor felt sorry for his old friend's daughter and was afraid that others would gossip about her, so he gave my aunt to King Hui at the time. The emperor became a concubine."
Anyu said that after returning to Chen's house, he thought about it and made up the part of the poem that he had forgotten before.
Sheng Yuanxin said, OK. Although Concubine An's marriage has some twists and turns, it is not without a solution.
It's just that the image of the late emperor in her memory has changed.
People are complicated, and people who become emperors are even more complicated.
"So, you've been talking about the Chen family for a long time, because you don't want them to appear in the sight of the emperor and Concubine An?" Sheng Yuan felt that this was unnecessary.
The atmosphere in Dachu is open, even outside the capital, and it is common for girls to remarry.
I won’t go into details about the inheritance of Da Chucai for two generations. Let’s just talk about the two dynasties of Yan and Chen. Many queens and beloved concubines remarried into the palace.
There is also the ex-wife of the Duke who became the concubine of a certain county prince; the girl who was a widow several times married the number one scholar and became the wife of the first assistant.
Therefore, let alone let the children of the Chen family take the imperial examination, even if Chen Xian, who is engaged to Concubine An, is admitted to the cabinet, the emperor may not care. At most, he will take this matter as amusement, and make fun of Concubine An. That’s all.
"I'm not angry because of this!" Anyu felt that Sheng Yuan looked down on him. He was not one of those pedantic people from Qian Qi!
"???" Sheng Yuan blinked.
She didn't say whether she believed it or not, she just looked at him like this!
An Yu made her uncomfortable and said angrily: "I am the third prince of Qi, my cousin! He actually regards Chen Xian as his mentor and his adviser! Do you think this is appropriate?!"
"The scribe who gave him the advice to approach me, couldn't be that Chen Qian?!" Sheng Yuan narrowed her eyes.
"Ah?! How did you know?!" After An Yu finished speaking, he realized that he had said something stupid again.
"Haha." Good, she remembered them.
"You can see it! It's not scary for Chen Zhan to approach the third prince, but he is clearly going for Conglong Zhigong! Such a guy with a city government should stay away! What a wolf of ambition!" An Yu thumped Standing on the stone table, he said with hatred.
"Concubine An didn't want to stop him?" Sheng Yuan felt that with this kind of relationship, he was not a subordinate designated by the emperor. The third prince himself put Chen Xian in front of him, which was purely a sign that his head was caught by the door.
"He is very different now from when he was a child. Not to mention his aunt's words, even the emperor's words, he may not be truly convinced." Anyu hates growing up. When he grows up, his cousin no longer looks like his cousin.
"Wait! Tell me...does the third prince know that the Chen family and Concubine An were engaged?"
Sheng Yuan suddenly discovered the key to the problem.
After all, this matter is a bit far away, who would be so discreet about mentioning this to the third prince.
"Also, how do you know so clearly about Concubine An?"
Even though they are aunt and nephew, no adult would tell a child about his or her marriage experience, right? !
"..." An Yu whispered, "I heard it from Duke An Guo's mansion."
When the emperor was still the prince, he would often be taken back to live for a while by people from Lao Anguo's mansion. He heard about this from that mansion.
As for whether the third prince knows...he doesn't think it is clear.
After all, his aunt had an eye on the third prince. Even if she didn't know it at the time, she also knew it when Chen Xian approached the third prince.
It can only be said that in the eyes of the third prince, Chen Title is useful.
