Chapter 1,209
Speaking of the eldest princess, Lingxuan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Master, I don't know much about the eldest princess. Few people in the palace mention the eldest princess. This is a taboo!"
"I only know that the eldest princess has never returned to the palace to visit the Queen Mother since she went to Jingsi'an!"
Ling Yu found it unbelievable. The Queen Mother was the eldest princess's biological mother. How could any daughter not miss her mother after she was gone for so many years?
"Has the Queen Mother visited her?"
Lingxuan thought hard and then said: "I should have gone to see her once. It was three years after the eldest princess went to Jingsi Nunnery. The Queen Mother took Nanny Wei there. When she came back, the Queen Mother fell seriously ill!"
"There were rumors at the time that the eldest princess was unfilial and made the Queen Mother sad, which was why the Queen Mother fell ill when she came back!"
"Later, the Queen Mother herself came out to refute the rumors, saying that her illness was just due to fatigue from the journey and had nothing to do with the eldest princess, so the rumors slowly stopped!"
"It seems that the Queen Mother has never seen her since then! The Emperor was afraid that the Queen Mother would be sad, so he forbade anyone to mention the eldest princess, and we didn't even dare to discuss it."
When Lingxuan said this, she felt aggrieved on behalf of the Queen Mother: "The eldest princess is so heartless. She doesn't even want her mother for a man?"
"I can't imagine that there are such people in the world. If it were me, I would never be able to bear the heart of not seeing my mother!"
Ling Yu couldn't imagine that there was no deep hatred between mother and daughter. Is it worth being separated from each other forever?
Wait, is there really any deep hatred here?
But Ling Yu didn't know much, so even if she guessed there was something fishy, she wouldn't be able to find out for a while.
Later, Xiao Lintian came back with a heavy look on his face.
Ling Yu's heart sank and she asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Lintian said solemnly: "Weicheng has accompanied Murong Yansong into the palace and has reached an agreement with the emperor. The two countries will form an alliance. Murong Qing will marry He Rong. The wedding will be held ten days later!"
"What?"
Ling Yu stood up suddenly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"What exactly do Wei Cheng and the He family want to do?"
"I don't believe that Murong Yansong would betroth his sister like this just because he stayed at Hejiazhuangzi for one night!"
The relationship between the Murong brothers and sisters is very good. Before, Murong Qing confidently said that Murong Yansong would not sacrifice his marriage for profit.
But at this time, Murong Yansong made the decision for her to get married without Murong Qing's consent.
Either the He family promised Murong Yansong some extraordinary benefits, or Murong Yansong was being blackmailed!
But what can the He family use to blackmail Murong Yansong?
Ling Yu couldn't understand, so she asked.
Xiao Lintian also had a look of temptation. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the inn later to use my congratulations to meet Murong Yansong. I'll just ask him!"
Ling Yu shook her head: "I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything from Murong Yansong for a while!"
"Weicheng knows that we have a good relationship with the Murong brothers and sisters. If they threaten Murong Yansong, they will never give you a chance to get close to Murong Yansong before the wedding!"
"Xiao Lintian, I have a feeling that Wei Cheng went to war to invite the eldest princess back this time, not just because of the marriage!"
"By the way, the eldest princess should be back, right? Did she also go to see the Queen Mother?"
Xiao Lintian nodded: "When we went to see Xiahou Danruo being whipped, the old lady of the He family accompanied the eldest princess into the palace! I heard that the eldest princess had been kneeling outside the Queen Mother's Palace, saying that she was unfilial and had not come back to visit the Queen Mother in so many years! "
"In the end, the Queen Mother personally came out to help her up. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried in public!"
