Chapter 1040 We are all Mr.'s in-laws
If Princess Haiyan wants to be the Queen of Liang, she will have to remarry... Huang Sining thought so, and so did Mrs. Wen.
Wen actually had no bad intentions, he was just simply surprised.
The news was really too shocking. A widow who had been married and had given birth to three children was going to cross the flames of war between two countries and wear another phoenix crown?
It's really hard to imagine.
But Princess Haiyan’s mother, Tang Chujun, had also been married, had two children, and married the retired emperor in a grand ceremony, didn’t she?
The most honorable woman in the North Wing today is not the young Queen Wei Pingting, but the Empress Dowager Tang Chujun.
Because everyone knows that the one who truly holds the real power is the emperor emeritus, and Emperor Wenxuan is just a decoration.
Huang Si Ning sneered, her tone cold, "Has the wind direction in the North Wing changed now? Is a second-married daughter more valuable?"
The smile on Mrs. Huo's face gradually cooled, and a layer of frost suddenly appeared in her eyes, "Are you making irresponsible remarks about the honorable Empress Dowager?"
She slammed her fingertips on the table, causing the teacup to shake and splash a few drops of brown water. "Do you know that what you just said is a serious crime of disrespect?"
Making irresponsible comments about the royal family can be a big or small offense, but once it is exposed, you will lose your head.
Mrs. Wen was furious at her daughter for not fighting back. She glared at her daughter fiercely and apologized with a smile, "The child didn't mean that. She..."
Huo's face was filled with sneer and contempt. "Child? Sister-in-law, have you forgotten how she was expelled from the clan? There's still a child!"
She looked up at Huang Si Ning, and what she saw was... a child! She looked a few years older than her mother, Mrs. Wen.
She laughed, "Yeah, kids, hehe... whoever sows the bitter fruit will have to bear it himself."
The mission I came here for today has not been completed yet. "By the way, aren't you curious about who Emperor Liang is?"
The mother and daughter's eyelids twitched at the same time.
They both knew Huo's character too well. He would not come to her for no reason, and when he did, it was either for no good or to cause trouble.
The two did not respond, and it did not affect Mrs. Huo who continued to tell other news. "This time, the envoys from Liang State went to Beiyi specifically to welcome the bride. The Emperor of Liang offered half of his country as a betrothal gift, and wanted to take our gentleman as his queen."
When she said the word "sir", she seemed quite proud, as if she was a member of her mother's family.
Is there anything wrong with this perception? The princess is the princess of their northern wing, and the gentleman is the gentleman recognized by their Huang family. In terms of emotion and reason, they are definitely the mother's family!
The mystery was almost solved. Mrs. Huo raised her sleeve to hide her half smile, "Are you really not curious about who Emperor Liang is?"
This is the second time she asked this question! Wen was also really curious, "Who is Emperor Liang?"
How could he fall in love with a widow with three children? Are all women in the world extinct? Or does Emperor Liang have some plans for Beiyi?
This is all the possibilities Wen could think of.
However, Huang Si Ning was different, because she immediately thought of the rumor that "the prince consort is not dead." But she found it unbelievable, "It can't be the prince consort, right?"
Mrs. Huo smiled and slapped the table, "Hey, I have to say, Ning'er has some brains!"
Although it’s not much, I’ve thought of what I should think of.
Huang Si Ning's face turned pale and her body suddenly went limp.
No! Impossible! Writing a storybook? It was already legendary that a palace guard became the emperor's wife. Later, the emperor's wife became the general of Weibei and died in battle. Now tell her that he is not only alive, but is actually the emperor of Liang?
What a joke!
Do not believe!
I don't believe it! I won't believe it even if you kill me!
Mrs. Huo knew that she didn't believe it, but what did it matter?
Her mission was completed, and she stood up. "I'm leaving now, sister-in-law. Please be careful with your words and actions. I understand that you are a loving mother and a filial daughter, but if your eldest brother and the old masters find out, your position as the legal wife will be in jeopardy. In everything, you should consider yourself and the family more."
Mrs. Wen gritted her teeth and said, "Second brother's wife, I understand. I'll let Ning'er go after dinner."
Mrs. Huo looked at Huang Sining, whose face was pale, shook her head, and walked out of the courtyard.
You're trying to steal a man from a princess, but you don't even look in the mirror!
In the room, Huang Si Ning was in a state of disbelief. "Impossible! The consort can't be Emperor Liang!" She murmured, "Half of the country! Using the country as a betrothal gift, are you crazy? Crazy!"
"Does it matter to you whether the prince consort is Emperor Liang or not? What does it have to do with you if he offers half of his kingdom to marry someone?" Mrs. Wen rubbed her temples. "Ning'er, just live your own life well, that's better than anything else!"
"Why can Shi Anxia live well when I can't?" Huang Si Ning murmured, "She is a widow! She can only be a widow!"
At this time, a maid came over and asked Wen to go to the main hall to discuss matters.
Wen agreed and said to Zhang Mama, "You send the young lady out through the corner gate."
Mother Zhang agreed.
Mrs. Wen remembered something and took out a stack of banknotes from the box and handed them to her daughter, saying, "Go back first. If I am free some other day, I will come to Ruyi Inn to look for you."
You’d better not come to the Huang Mansion!
Huang Si Ning frowned and reached out to take the banknote, "Mother is also annoyed by me?"
Wen's heart was extremely bitter, "Ning'er..."
"Stop talking, I understand!" Huang Si Ning rolled her eyes and curled her lips, "I'll just leave."
After saying that, she turned around and left the yard without looking back at Wen.
Tears welled up in Wen's eyes. She was extremely sad and even more upset that she had failed to give birth to a son to take care of her in her old age.
Aunt Meng came in with her son in her arms at some point. Seeing her mistress crying, she didn't know whether to leave or stay.
Wen wiped her tears and asked, "What's the matter?"
Aunt Meng looked embarrassed. "Second Master has asked everyone in the family to go to the main hall to discuss matters, and all the concubines in the rooms are also going. I thought... maybe it would be better if I go with the mistress?"
She always put herself in a proper position, and when she gave birth to a son, she would record it under the name of the legal mother. She would never go beyond the mistress's name just because she gave birth to a son.
Wen had seen through her thoughts very clearly over the years, seeing her son in her arms grow up to be plump, fair, and tender, so adorable.
Yes, son, isn't there a ready-made one? She thought that as long as she treated the child well, the child and his aunt would be able to feel it.
What does it matter if they are biological children or not? The one just now is a biological child, but he also has leaks everywhere.
Wen suddenly understood, stretched out her hand to the child, and said softly, "Mom, can you hug me?"
The child immediately laughed, opened his arms and threw himself into her arms, "Mother, mother..."
Mrs. Wen smiled, and Aunt Meng also smiled gently.
The two of them took their children to the main hall to discuss matters. They just listened and had no say.
The topic of the Huang family's discussion was to call on the most famous literati in the North Wing who were willing to marry far away and help the gentleman, to go to Liang State together in the name of the Huang family.
The scene was very lively.
"It's worth it sir!"
"We are all Mr.'s family!"
"Let's give the ancestral 'Shadow River Map' to the gentleman as a dowry!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the old man will definitely agree!"
"Well, let's all go back and discuss it. Take out all the things that have been kept at the bottom of the box and choose them. We will add a few loads of dowry for the master."
"I think it's fine. The dowry prepared by the court belongs to the court, and what we prepare is ours. They are separate and there is no conflict..."
Huang Si Ning, who had returned and was eavesdropping outside, felt her blood rushing suddenly, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
