Chapter 390
Wei Ruo, the Ninth Prince of Sick Yangzi, was brought to Mrs. Yuan.
Also present were Nanny Qin and another Nanny Wei Ruo had never seen before.
Nanny Qin introduced to Wei Ruo: "Miss, this is Nanny Zeng."
Wei Ruo looked at the person, and Wei Ruo could tell from Nanny Qin's tone and demeanor that although they were both from the palace, Mother, but Mother Zeng’s status should be slightly higher than that of Mother Qin.
"Old slave, I have met the eldest girl." Aunt Zeng was slightly blessed, and her attitude toward Wei Ruo was just like Aunt Qin's, polite and courteous.
"Mother Zeng." Wei Ruochong nodded and said hello.
"Miss, these are all gifts given to you by your empress. Thank you for your contribution to the people of Taizhou Prefecture." There
were several boxes beside Grandma Zeng, covered with red cloth.
Although he couldn't see the things inside for the moment, Wei Ruo knew from the ceremony that the things were not bad and should be some valuable and good things.
"Thank you for your gift." Wei Ruo thanked him.
She thought to herself that this Concubine Hui was kinder than her son, and she knew how to give her gifts, and it was not in vain that she had led her son to achieve great results.
"Young lady, you don't have to be polite. These rewards given by the empress are also approved by the Holy Emperor. They are obtained by the eldest girl's ability."
Wei Ruo followed Mrs. Yuan to preside over the disaster relief work and received a commendation. However, because she was the legitimate daughter of the clan, the emperor could not directly Reward, let the seventh prince's mother and concubine who are related to this incident give a reward, which not only expresses attitude, but is also polite.
"The daughter of the common people thanks your Majesty for your kindness." Wei Ruo said hurriedly.
"The empress said that when the eldest daughter goes to the capital, she must summon her and thank her in person." Grandma Zeng said very politely.
"The women of the people are frightened, but they try their best and don't dare to claim credit." Wei Ruo replied hurriedly.
Nanny Zeng took Wei Ruo's hand and patted the back of Wei Ruo's hand gently: "Miss, I hope to see you benefiting more people again in the future, and taking the same responsibility to save all peoples as His Majesty the Seventh Prince. .”
Wei Ruo smiled lightly and immediately understood the meaning of Nanny Zeng's words.
This is a hint that he wants her to continue to stand by Chu Lan in the future.
Wei Ruo replied: "Mommy, as a female prostitute, there are not many places where I can be used. It is because of Mrs. Yuan's appreciation and support that I have this opportunity to do my best for the people. My ability I've already shown everything, and I can't help with anything else." "
Girl, don't belittle yourself. Even the things you are doing now are already beyond the reach of many famous ladies." Zeng Grandma said.
Wei Ruo just responded with a smile.
Mrs. Yuan knew that Wei Ruo was not very good at dealing with this situation, so she came forward and said to Nanny Zeng: "Mommy, sister Ruo'er is almost embarrassed by what you said. I won't allow you to put too much pressure on her. Yes."
"Okay, okay." Mother Zeng responded with a smile, "I can see that the princess really likes the eldest daughter, but she is afraid that I, an old woman, will scare the eldest daughter." "That's not because of fear
. You? I’ve heard of your name, Nanny Zeng, since I was a child." Mrs. Yuan joked with a smile.
Mrs. Yuan often went to the palace, and she was an old acquaintance with several favored nuns in the palace, including the senior Nanny Zeng.
"My Royal Highness, what you say makes me, an old lady, very scared. If the old prince takes it seriously, then my old lady's head will not be saved!" Grandma Zeng said with a smile on her face.
The two nuns chatted with Mrs. Yuan and Wei Ruo for a long time. The three of them mainly talked. Wei Ruo only occasionally seconded and spoke less.
After chatting for more than a quarter of an hour, Nanny Zeng and Nanny Qin said goodbye to Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yuan sent Qingyi to see the two nannies off. Mrs. Yuan and Wei Ruo were the only ones left in the house.
Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo in a gentle tone: "Although Concubine Hui is not favored, she has given birth to a capable seventh prince, and her status in the palace is unshakable. That Aunt Zeng is an old man in the palace. In the past Those who serve in front of the Queen Mother are a bit thin-faced even in front of the Emperor."
Wei Ruo nodded, "Thank you Madam for your suggestion, I'll take note of it."
Mrs. Yuan said again: "The reward given to you by Concubine Hui this time should be authorized by the Holy Emperor, so you don't have to worry about getting involved with the Seventh Prince." "I thought about it." Wei Ruodao said,
Wei Ruo was already on the way here Have thought about this issue.
Concubine Hui is a concubine, and it would be too stupid to blatantly give gifts to the clan daughter if she is trying to win Wei Ruo over to her side.
Mrs. Yuan's words confirmed Wei Ruo's thoughts.
It can be seen from this that Wei Mingyong's worries are simply unnecessary, they are just his self-righteous and stupid ideas.
As she spoke, Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo: "Speaking of which, before you came, Grandma Zeng told me about a major event that happened in Beijing recently." "
What was it?"
"You may have heard of it too. Now the Crown Prince In the competition, the most popular candidates are the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince. The Sixth Prince's maternal ancestor is powerful and has many supporters in the court; while the Seventh Prince's own abilities are more outstanding than the Sixth Prince. Originally, the Sixth Prince was more powerful between the two. I have some hope, but the recent disaster relief efforts by the Sixth Prince have been fruitless, and the Seventh Prince has made military exploits, which has raised the voice of the Seventh Prince." "I have heard a little bit."
Wei Ruo didn't understand why Mrs. Yuan mentioned this at this time.
"Then you probably don't know that the Ninth Prince has appeared and the situation is about to change." Mrs. Yuan said in surprise.
"Ninth Prince?" Wei Ruo looked at Mrs. Yuan in surprise.
"Yes, Ninth Prince." Mrs. Yuan was very sure.
"I have heard some rumors about the Ninth Prince before, but they should be just rumors. They can't be taken seriously, right?"
Wei Ruohui has a basis for thinking so. In the original work, Chu Lan won the battle for the inheritance. In the end, No Ninth Prince appeared either.
The Ninth Prince only exists in people's conversations, and his status in the heart of the emperor is probably similar to the status of the late Bai Yueguang in the heart of the male protagonist.
Whenever the Sixth and Seventh Princes had something that made the Emperor feel dissatisfied, the Emperor would think of the child he had with his beloved Queen Xu.
Although the child died as soon as he was born, it did not prevent him from being regarded as the best and most perfect son in the emperor's heart.
"I originally thought so too, but I didn't expect this person to actually show up. And it was at a critical time when Xu Guogong's treason case was being retried," Mrs. Yuan said.
"Is he the real Ninth Prince? Is there someone pretending to be him?" Wei Ruo asked.
Mrs. Yuan shook her head: "I'm not sure now, but the people who escorted this person back to the capital were all former ministers of Queen Xu, and they also had the tokens of Queen Xu. This is something that ordinary people who want to impersonate can't do." Wei
Ruo He frowned, a little confused.
This does not appear in the original work!
"But...there seems to be something wrong with this Ninth Prince. He is very sick and looks like he won't live long." Mrs. Yuan added.
