Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 88
When the car stopped outside the palace gate, Cui Yinshui took the footstool and placed it next to the car. Jiafu got out of the car, was led into the palace, turned around, and finally walked to the hall where Pei Youan had led the thanksgiving the next morning at the wedding day, entered, and stopped at the outer hall. Cui Yinshui asked her to wait a while, hurried in, and came out after a while, then led Jiafu in, walked to the entrance of the inner hall, and whispered: “Long live, Zhen’s is here.”
Li Yuangui walked out and signaled Cui Yinshui to retreat. Jiafu was grateful for his secret arrangement to Pei Youan, but it was not easy to thank him, so he blessed him, Li Yuangui hurriedly backed down, and whispered: “Follow me.” Turned around and walked in.
Gaffer settled down, followed the pace, and walked in. The emperor was still sitting on the Huanghuali Chilong-patterned chair that day, dressed in a dragon robe. He looked thinner, but his expression was severe and he lacked the kindness of the day. He looked like, seeing him cast two eyes on him, bowed his head, knelt down on a mat on the ground, and bowed down.
Li Yuangui also went out, only Jiafu and the emperor were left in the hall. The emperor said flat, then said: “Li Yuangui said you want to see me, what’s the matter?” The tone was light.
Jia Fu thanked her, but still kneeled, saying, “Long live, the guilty courtier’s wife asks for long live, but she begs for her kindness, and the guilty courtier’s wife also goes to the north. The family man is guilty of long live, if he has been punished, the sinner The wife should collect his body for him, and now he is fortunate to have long live forgiveness and save his life. Since ancient times, the husband and wife have been together, and the sinners and wives are willing to sin and walk with him.”
She said, secretly paying attention to the emperor’s expression, and seeing that although his expression was still cold, but he did not look angry, she bowed her head again, and said: “Besides the same sin, I dare not deceive Long live, it is also out of worry. The Northland is bitterly cold. , The wind and sand were violent, and the women of the guilty ministers heard that in those places, it was snowy and icy in November, and the family husband was weak since childhood. In these years, first of all, the guilty courtesy married him. In 1970, he stayed at home for a handful of years. He was already exhausted and worried, but now he went there again. No one knew whether he was warm or cold. The guilty wives worried that his clothes were not warm, and the old illness recurred. If it’s not good, it failed Long Live’s grace to stay.”
What she said was to remind the emperor, but it was not what she thought in her heart, her eyes flushed.
“He took the blame for it! I gave him several opportunities, but he ignored it!”
The emperor finally spoke, no longer the indifferent tone he had when he talked to him a moment ago, and his tone was slightly raised.
Seeing him with a slightly excited expression, Jiafu lowered his head: “When my grandmother was dying, she had withdrawn from others and spoke to the criminals’ wives and her husband’s life experience. The husband’s name was the eldest son of Weiguo Gongfu, but his father adopted him from outside. Then, the family husband’s real father was a brother of the opposite sex. He was unable to support him because of some reasons. His mother died two days after giving birth to him. His life experience was extremely pitiful. The grandmother said that she would take the family husband. Regarding her as a grandson, she knew that he was frail and sick. After she left, the only thing she could not worry about was him. She ordered the guilty minister to take care of her family husband for her no matter what. The guilty minister agreed at the time, but now she dare not abandon him. Long live to be kind again, and to tolerate the sinful ministers’ wives to go along with them. Not only do they perform their duties as wives, but also all the promises they made to their grandmothers.”
There was silence in the hall, and the emperor never spoke.
While waiting, Jia Fu quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor. Seeing that his gaze was stagnant and motionless, he expected that he had just said that, and he must have poked out the memory of the scene when he visited his grandmother that day, so he bowed his head again.
“I ask you, where did you come from? Do you know the origin of this thing?”
After a long while, the emperor finally spoke again, his voice low.
Jiafu raised his eyes and saw the blue jade pendant, which was taken out by the emperor from nowhere and held it in his hand. His two eyes were cast towards him, their eyes gloomy and obscure.
When Pei Youan came to Quanzhou and handed it out, it was said that this jade pendant was left by his father before his death.
But after knowing Pei Youan’s real life experience, Jiafu felt that it was not that simple.
She had secretly inquired from the old man in Pei’s family, saying that Pei Wenjing loved orchids since she was a child. She is also good at painting, and there is still a painting that she painted in the old Mrs. Pei. The inscribed seal is Wulan Qiujun. It is becoming more and more certain that this jade pendant with blue patterns must be Pei Wenjing’s relic. When she entered Beijing this time, she was anxious to see the emperor, but the emperor was too late to see.
Based on the closeness of the emperor and Pei Wenjing back then, Jiafu expected that he must recognize this jade pendant, but it had nothing to do with the jade pendant, but he was not sure. Seeing the emperor’s look at this moment, based on a kind of intuition, he immediately concluded that the emperor not only recognized it. This thing, and most likely, should have a great relationship with Yupei.
She said: “Long live, this jade pendant is a token of the marriage contract given by the husband.”
“In that case, why did you pass it to me? What do you mean by this?” the emperor asked again, his expression tense and his tone slightly aggressive.
Jia Fu said: “Long live this, this is also the grandmother’s dying order. My grandmother once said that if one day later, if the family is in trouble, she will ask the sinners to hold this face saint. To solve the problem of the family husband. A few days ago, the criminal minister’s wife was eager to see Long live, but long live was delayed. Thinking of the grandmother’s instructions that day, she boldly presented the jade pendant. The criminal wife did not know what crime the family had committed, so she did not dare to ask. But the sin must be unforgivable, otherwise, long live the wiseness will definitely not be so irritated, so I dare not ask for forgiveness for the family husband. “
The emperor sat down for a while, his expression gradually slowed down, and after a while, he suddenly asked: “Madame Pei mentioned anything else about this jade pendant to you?”
The family husband raised his eyes and saw that the emperor’s eyes were fixed on him, his expression seemed a little nervous, and he looked down and said: “Just listen to the grandmother’s words, two days before the death of the family’s biological mother, the palm of his hand kept holding this pendant, before he died. , Fang solemnly placed this pendant in the family’s infant…”
She stopped.
“Did she mention to you that before Youan’s birth mother was dying, did she have resentment?”
The emperor leaned forward, his voice a little unstable.
Gaffer shook his head: “Grandma was very weak at the time, so she said a few words, and stopped. The criminal minister did not dare to ask more. It’s just…”
She lowered her head and whispered: “It’s just what the sinner’s wife thinks. If a woman holds something before she dies, she must be caring for someone who is concerned about that thing. How can she hate it? What’s more, I will leave it solemnly to my children. I must hope that this thing will bless my children, so that my life will be free from disasters and pain, and joy and worry free.”
The emperor remained motionless, with a look of joy and sadness, with tears in his eyes. For a long time, he got up from his seat, pinched the jade pendant, left Jiafu, turned away, and walked away slowly, the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing.
Gaffer didn’t dare to get up, just like that, alone, kneeling in the empty hall.
A moment later, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Li Yuangui walked in quickly. Seeing Jiafu still kneeling like that, he personally came to help, with a smile on his face, saying: “Chen, good deed, long live your request, allow you Go with it.”
Those words just now are actually just Jiafu based on her own guesses, following the emperor’s intentions, which is just a mistake. It is expected that Pei Wenjing is knowledgeable in the sky, and should understand her painstaking efforts at this moment, and will not blame her. Hearing that the emperor finally let go, he was overjoyed, holding back the tears he was about to shed, and thanking Li Yuangui.
Li Yuangui said: “I’m just a slave, so why dare you to thank you. Long live just said that you know the truth better than Master Pei. Long live is very pleased. After all, a monarch and minister, Master Pei has done a lot in the past, how long live your treatment of Master Pei, you I know it in my heart. Long live said, Master Pei has been ill-intentioned this time, so the sin is unforgivable. If you go over there, you should also explain the truth to Master Pei. If you are loyal to the emperor as your father, long live you can forgive him, and your couple can also Come back early.”
Li Yuangui said, Jiafu nodded, wishing to leave immediately. Li Yuangui also looked out and smiled and said, “There will be no delay. If you pack up your belongings, our family will send someone to send you as soon as possible.”
