Just like now, Pei Zhishuo didn't even figure out that the people who turned their family upside down were the father and daughter of the Jiang family, so he dared to repeatedly jump on Jiang Xinyue's thunderbolt.
Jiang Yankun couldn't help but light some wax for him.
Princess Lihua was just a sideshow. Jiang Xinyue's eyes fell on the Jiang family for a moment. Seeing Jiang Yuncai glaring angrily at a certain minister's wife, she frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired. I want to go first." Go back and rest.”
She was still pregnant with a child, and she couldn't bear the New Year's Eve banquet even after a long day of exhaustion.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said with concern: "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, go to the Imperial Hospital and call for help. I will see you later."
Jiang Xinyue nodded, winked at Magpie before leaving, and looked in the direction of her mother and eldest aunt.
Although Magpie is not particularly smart, she has a tacit understanding between master and servant for many years. With Jiang Xinyue's look, she understood the meaning without thinking too much.
Su Ruyue's eyes averted, not daring to confront Jiang Yuncai, and kept hiding behind Mrs. Su.
After Mrs. Su noticed it, she protected her daughter behind her. She looked at Jiang Yuncai with her cold eyes and forced her back: "Ruyue is not afraid. She is restless. She knows that the Pei family is going to take action against them, but she still has to go out and run around. Is that right?" She has ruined her sister's reputation, no wonder we want to break off the engagement."
Although the Su family also knew that Jiang Yuncai was innocent, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Yunxia, in the final analysis, the Su family was also a well-known family in the capital. If the Jiang family had not given birth to a beloved concubine, they would not have achieved what they have today.
But compared to aristocratic families like the Su family, it was still far behind.
So what's wrong with her not wanting her son to marry Jiang Yunxia?
Who knows when the imperial concubine’s enemies will reveal that she has a cousin who was once sold to a brothel?
That person followed the clues and found out that Jiang Yunxia was that cousin's biological sister. Where should the Su family put their face?
At that time, people didn't care if you were rescued quickly, and no one would believe your innocence. They would make the words as unpleasant as possible.
It is reasonable for them to regret their marriage.
Even if the Jiang family complained to the imperial concubine, there was no reason to force the second son of his family to marry Jiang Yuncai.
"Madam, the Imperial Concubine invites you and your eldest aunt to go to Hexi Palace for a chat."
As usual, the palace servants in Hexi Palace also received generous rewards this year, and they were even more attentive in serving their master.
The last time Mrs. Sun came here was to ask Jiang Xinyue to save Jiang Yuncai. At that time, she was just crying and didn't even notice the luxury and exquisiteness of Hexi Palace.
This time when the magpie brought her in again, her eyes never stopped. She lamented at one moment that Jiang Xinyue was capable and that the people in her palace were very well-behaved. At the same time, she lamented that the emperor loved Jiang Xinyue so much.
Take a look at the Hexi Palace. Even the inconspicuous grass in the courtyard used for decoration is made of purple pearl grass that is rarely seen among the people.
Not to mention those precious but haphazardly placed flowers and plants in the courtyard and under the corridor.
The entire palace is exquisitely arranged, and there is a set of natural landscapes running through the backyard, with exotic flowers and plants, water covering the fog, and it is like a fairyland.
But right now, she doesn't have much mood to sigh.
Ever since Jiang Xinyue asked why her eldest cousin didn't come, Jiang Yuncai's tears kept flowing: "It's my fault. I caused my sister to have her engagement broken off by the Su family. My sister and Su Erlang fell in love, but The Su family probably guessed what happened that day and insisted on breaking off the engagement. Dad felt that Su Erlang couldn't bear the responsibility, so he took back his sister's Geng Tie and broke off the marriage with the Su family."
"My uncle is right. If Su Erlang and his eldest cousin expressed their sincerity to each other a long time ago, but they can't even convince their parents, even if I ask the emperor to issue an order in the future to force my eldest cousin to marry into the Su family, there will be a lot of hardship. .”
If Su Erlang is really serious, he should do everything possible to marry his eldest cousin and protect her throughout her life.
He is the second son. I heard that Mrs. Su loves this younger son very much. As long as he wants to, there are many ways to make Mrs. Su compromise.
What broke Jiang Yunxia's heart now was simply that he chose his parents between his parents and his lover, so what else is there to say?
When two people get married, they separate from their families and build a new family for two people. It does not require the woman to leave her family and integrate into the man's family, where she will suffer all the grievances, be a lowly child, and serve her parents-in-law, just to win. Approval from the man’s family.
Therefore, it is appropriate to take the essence and remove the dross from some things passed down by our ancestors, in order to change the status of some women in the family.
Mrs. Sun sighed: "That's true, but Sister Xia is a stubborn person. Ever since she broke off the engagement, she has lost her life. The day before yesterday, she went to the yard to drink in thin clothes and played all night. The girls didn't even try to stop the cold wind, so they contracted the cold before the New Year's Eve party and were bedridden."
Mrs. Sun was also angry that Jiang Yunxia failed to live up to her expectations and would die if the engagement was annulled. It was a joke to the perfidious Su family.
When word spread, they thought that the girl from the Jiang family couldn't get married and they were determined to stay with the Su family.
But she couldn't bear to scold her too much. This was an unreasonable disaster for Jiang Yunxia.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but slap herself again: "It's all my fault. I didn't tell them that the Pei family was eyeing us. I always felt that what could happen if there were so many people together in a public place? The result? ...The result is like this..."
"Auntie, don't blame yourself."
Jiang Xinyue explained to her: "There is always a gap in a hundred dense places. Those people hide in the dark, like rats in the gutter. They will bite us when they get the chance. Avoiding them is not a long-term solution. I can only say eat. Every time you go through a ditch, you will gain wisdom. In the future, you should take what your eldest aunt says to me in mind."
It is useless to blame anyone now. Instead of scolding and complaining, it is better to think of a good way to help Jiang Yunxia see clearly.
The back door of Jiangzhai——
Su Changlin, the second son of the Su family, carried a small baggage on his back and climbed over the wall with the help of his servant.
"Cough cough cough..."
Jiang Yunxia sat on the edge of the bed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and said to the maids beside her: "You all go down! Tonight is New Year's Eve. If you stay with me, you won't be able to watch the New Year with your family." .I’m fine, I fell asleep after drinking the medicine.”
Little girls, you look at me and I look at you: "But the madam said, let the slaves guard the girl, and you must not ask you to blow the cold wind again."
Jiang Yunxia shook her head again: "I won't go out, and I don't have the strength to move."
After speaking, she closed her eyes weakly, as if she had spoken too much and had used up all her energy.
