Everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew the Yu family, and the Yu family in Yingchuan had been a great family that no one could surpass for a hundred years.
Such a glorious family was ordered by Emperor Wen to behead all the men of the family due to crimes. The men of the other branches were exiled thousands of miles away, and the women were all sent to the Jiaofangsi.
Yan Xiu was surprised: "But everyone thinks that my mother-in-law is the Yu family in Luling."
In both Yingchuan and Luling, the Yu family is a common surname, but the Luling Yu family is particularly mediocre compared to the Yingchuan Yu family, and does not have the famous name and achievements of the latter.
Although the two were aristocrats of the same origin in ancient times, through the vicissitudes of time, the aristocratic bloodline of the Luling line had long been diluted to the point where they were even ridiculed by modern people for their inaction.
Zhu Sijia tells Yan Xiu everything about that year.
Yan Xiu was slightly surprised.
In this story, his aunt Zhang Fu, who he remembered as mean and tactful, had been a bright and kind-hearted girl before she got married. She even did not hesitate to change Zhu Sijia's mother's place of origin to save her.
When a maid named Yu appeared next to the girl Zhang Fu, everyone thought that the maid was from the Yu family in Luling, not the Yu family in Yingchuan.
Long before Zhang Fu was pregnant and chose to send Yu Shiniang to King Yan's bed, King Yan had already tried to seduce Yu Shiniang by force in private.
It's just that Yu Shiniang was loyal to Zhang Fu and had no intention of surpassing her. However, King Yan still wanted to take advantage of her, so Yu Shiniang had to declare her family status and reveal her identity. This made King Yan fear her as the daughter of a criminal minister. The identity is far away.
She herself could not have expected that Zhang Fu would eventually make her the concubine of King Yan.
King Yan knew that she had a special status, but he had coveted her for a long time, so he silently chose to accept her generously, and still claimed that his concubine was from Luling.
After Zhu Sijia finished speaking, she didn't dare to look into Yan Xiu's eyes.
Da Qin is not a country that advocates bloodline theory, but that doesn't mean that Yan Xiu and the world can tolerate her having half of the Yingchuan Yu family's blood.
Yan Xiu could feel her slightly stiff body, and he stretched his hand along her back again and again, just like he had comforted her countless times before:
"Cicada wants to use this to make a big fuss and help my mother-in-law reconcile with King Yan?"
Seeing that he didn't pay much attention to it, Zhu Sijia looked at him with tears in her nose and looked at him: "Exactly."
Yan Xiu: "But in this case, my mother-in-law will not be able to be the royal wife."
Zhu Sijia: "Didn't Xuanzhi consecrate my mother to me just to vent my anger? Even my mother felt that she deserved this for having no merit and no reputation. If she is gone, she will be gone. She will be gone. And Yuan Cun, if Yuan Cun lives up to his expectations, what's the harm in earning another one for her?"
When he originally issued the decree to confer the imperial title on the Yu family, Yan Xiu didn't think so much. It was true that he was venting his anger on Zhu Sijia, but his purpose was to oppose the two empress dowager sisters.
It was unintentional, but he didn't expect to be able to take advantage of this matter today. Yan Xiu secretly sighed, a man should indulge and accommodate the one he loves without any bottom line.
Yan Xiu had a smile in his eyes: "Okay, whatever Cicada wants to do, remember that I can rely on you in everything. But this matter is not simple. You still need to discuss it with your mother-in-law in private, and then choose a good time to tell the truth."
Congratulations to Scarlett, she hugged his neck and kissed him: "Thank you very much."
Yan Xiu's eyes became darker and darker when he looked at her, as if there was a slow wildfire. He moved his Adam's apple and lowered his voice a little: "Is this gift I gave to my mother-in-law a qualified New Year's gift?"
Zhu Sijia: "Of course it is the best."
Yan Xiu's hands began to become restless: "Have you ever thought about how to repay me? Apart from the dragon you want to embroider, you should give me a dragon son no matter what."
In just over a month, Scarlett will be exactly eighteen years old.
It's time for his eldest son to come to the world, and there will be no need for those messy Bizixiang.
This also touched Zhu Sijia's pain point. She had made love with Yan Xiu so many times, but there was no movement in her stomach at all.
Could it be that she was really having difficulty giving birth?
Zhu Sijia suddenly whispered: "I, I, I will work hard."
What a gullible little bunny.
Yan Xiu lowered his head and locked lips with hers.
Yuxiu Palace.
Yan Xing said goodbye to Mrs. Chen and returned home. Mrs. Chen accidentally said:
"You, when you come back to my concubine's place, you want to run back even before the stool is hot. It just so happens that I have some peace and quiet. I need to rest early. I will continue to teach Zhaoyi embroidery tomorrow."
She was showing off to her son in secret and overtly her current situation in the palace. The Queen Mother, a temptress, had severed all ties with her son and there was no chance of her coming back. Now she was the senior one in the harem.
I wish Scarlett could get close to her, and the people around her would be more discerning. Her life would be much more nourishing than before, and her appearance would be much younger.
Unexpectedly, when Yan Xing heard her words, he immediately tensed up and asked hurriedly: "Is Zhu Zhaoyi going to cause trouble for you?"
He knew Zhu Sijia's character very well, she hated evil as much as she hated her, and she had a clear sense of love and hate. She would not give an ounce of sympathy to people she didn't like, and would never give in to someone she didn't like. Even if she would give Concubine Chen some face, she would never be so close to her.
The only possibility is that she is looking for the right opportunity to take revenge on Mrs. Chen.
Seeing Yan Xing's anxious look, Grandma Hou smiled and said:
"My lord, you are worrying too much. This old servant has seen what happened during this period. Zhaoyi treated the concubine very well. When she came to Yuxiu Palace for advice, she acted like a junior. Why is it so difficult to say it?"
Concubine Chen was also confused: "Yes, I have never harmed Zhaoyi. Even when the palace was the most panicked because of the rumor that she was a cat demon, I never said anything bad about her. Why do you have to worry about her? Harm me?"
Harm?
Yan Xing smiled helplessly.
In his previous life, his mother-in-law had tortured Zhu Sijia a lot, and even he, a man, could not stand those weird and horrifying methods. Zhu Sijia would have seen a ghost if he could get along with her calmly in this life.
But if it is true as Aunt Hou said, Zhu Sijia only wanted to sew pajamas for Yan Xiu, so she put aside her grudge and got closer to Mrs. Chen, then...
That's stupid. How could she live her whole life again and still not have the memory of having fallen into trouble with men, so she had to do everything for Yan Xiu?
But since she has no intention of harming Mrs. Chen, let her go.
Just thinking that he himself had never worn the clothes sewn by Zhu Sijia himself made Yan Xing feel jealous and jealous.
…
On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Sijia, at Yan Xiu's suggestion, changed into a palace maid's clothes, smeared her face with makeup and secretly left the palace, transforming into a salt-free girl.
Suiyu was forced to dress up as a little eunuch and accompany her.
The night before, Suiyu secretly sent a message to Zhu Siying, asking her to take Mr. Yu out today and meet her at Baiweizhai.
Zhu Scarlett and the others went to Baiweizhai first. When she was bored, she listened to the gossip of the diners around her.
"In three days, the Marquis of Guangping will be torn apart by a chariot and exposed to the public. Tsk, Your Majesty is really used to this..."
I dare not say cruelty.
"I think your Majesty punished you well in this matter. I heard that the Marquis of Guangping dared to poison the eldest princess! Such a serious crime is nothing more than treason. The Marquis of Guangping will execute him alone, and the rest will be exiled. Your Majesty show mercy."
