Wentang

Chapter 624 Princess 4
Wu Chang was canonized as the crown princess, not only the outsiders were surprised, but even the Wu family couldn't believe it, especially the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang couldn't accept it.

"How is it possible, how can that little bitch be the princess." Wu Yuanshuang said in disbelief.

Wu Yuanqing shook his head and said, "No matter what the sage and the empress think, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is beyond your control. From now on, we will change our attitude towards their mother and daughter."

Wu Yuan stood up briskly, and said loudly, "What? You want to give in to that bitch?"

Wu Yuanqing said: "So what if you don't accept softness? Go against the Crown Princess?"

Wu Yuan finished his sentence coolly, but still stubbornly said: "I don't care, how that bitch framed me back then, if you hadn't found out in time, brother, I'm afraid I would have become a gambler and was kicked out of the house by my father. This hatred is shared Dai Tian, ​​it is impossible for me to be subdued."

Wu Yuanqing knew his knot, and persuaded him: "You are not a child anymore, you should understand that you have to learn to compromise when you were born in a family like ours."

"Yang's framed you back then. I have never forgotten this hatred. I have been targeting them behind my father's back all these years."

"If Xiaojian...Wu Chang hadn't entered the palace, we would have plenty of ways to deal with their mother and daughter when our father was gone. But now the situation has changed, she has become the princess and has the upper hand, what will happen if we continue to be hostile to them? You should know the consequences."

"Blindly hostile not only can't make us revenge, but it may make us fall into a catastrophe."

"Now we should change our strategy. If she has the upper hand, we will give up temporarily, and then use her power to lift the family to a higher position. Wouldn't it be better to hit the head and bleed?"

Wu Yuanshuang is not stupid, he was moved by his words, but the hatred in his heart is not so easy to let go, so he said unconvinced:
"You take it for granted. If you want to subdue them, will they accept it? I'm afraid that the first thing they will do is clean us up."

Wu Yuanqing knew that his brother had been persuaded, but now he was only stubborn, so he comforted him: "No, we are her biological elder brothers, and she would violate the three principles and five principles if she took action against us, and she would not even think about being a princess by then."

"And do you think it's so easy to gain a firm foothold in the palace? Without external support, she might struggle. Who can she rely on? Only us two brothers."

"Didn't Marquis Qingshui accept her as his apprentice? With the support of Marquis Qingshui, she is afraid that she will lose her footing?" Wu Yuanshuang asked back.

"Although I don't know why Qingshuihou accepted her as an apprentice, who is he? How could he obey Wu Chang's orders? If Wu Chang wants to do something, who can she count on? Order Qingshuihou to do it for her? " Wu Yuanqing said.

Wu Yuanshuang subconsciously shook his head, although the Crown Princess has a high status, she is not qualified to instruct Yue Shan to do things.Yue Shan will support her in major matters, but if she dares to speak out in small matters, it is estimated that this master and apprentice will be able to do it.

In this way, many private affairs must be done by a dedicated and reliable person to help her.Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers are the most suitable candidates, which is also one of the roles of foreign relatives.

Wu Yuanqing continued: "Now you understand, if she married someone else, she might be able to get rid of you and me completely, but after becoming a princess, she can't leave us."

"Cooperation is beneficial to both. As long as she is not stupid, she will reconcile with us, so you don't have to worry about their attitude."

Wu Yuanshuang was completely convinced, but bowing his head to the enemy for a while was a bit overwhelmed by the hurdle in his heart, so he said with a stiff face: "Okay, I will listen to brother."

……

While the two brothers were talking, a similar conversation was going on in another courtyard of Duke Ying's mansion.

"Mother, is the second sister really going to be the princess?" Wu Shu, who was only eight years old, said happily.

She is the third daughter of Wu Yang's family. She is only nine years old this year, and she still has the heart of a child.

"Of course it is true. How could it not be true after the imperial decree has been issued? You see, these are all betrothal gifts from the royal family." Before Wu Yangshi could answer, Wu Shun said enviously.

She is 14 years old this year, which is the age of marriage. No woman has a dream of marrying a good man. In her opinion, marrying the prince is the happiest thing in the world.

It's just a pity that she wasn't the one who became the princess.But she is just pure envy, and has no other negative emotions.

Wu Shu's thinking was even simpler, she didn't even envy her, she just said happily: "After that, the eldest brother and the second brother will not dare to bully us anymore."

The little girl's unintentional words pierced the hearts of Wu Yang, Wu Shun, and Wu Zetian like a needle, and the three who were still immersed in excitement fell silent.

Wu Shu thought he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I'm sorry, I made you angry again."

Mrs. Wu Yang pulled her to her side, patted her head and said, "You did not say anything wrong, it's my mother who thought of something else, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Really?" Wu Shu heaved a sigh of relief, but asked again worriedly.

"Really, how could mother lie to you." Wu Yang said a few words of comfort, and when she was completely relieved, she said: "The palace also gave a lot of interesting things in another room, you go and see Do you like it?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, mother." Wu Shu was so happy that he turned around and ran out. When he ran to the door, he seemed to remember something, then turned to Wu Chang and said, "Thank you, second sister."

Wu Zetian squeezed out a smile and said, "Go ahead, don't mess things up."

"I see." Wu Shuren had disappeared, and only a word came from outside the door.

When Wu Shu left Wushun, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, and said bitterly: "These two beasts have finally fallen into our hands, Second Sister must take care of them this time and avenge us."

"Sister, don't worry, I've been waiting for this day." Wu Zetian also said coldly.

But Wu Yang shook his head and looked at the two sisters and asked, "Are you really going to avenge your elder brother?"

Wu Shun said in surprise: "Mother, what are you talking about, brother, have you forgotten how they treated us?"

Wu Zetian also nodded in agreement.

"Hey." Wu Yang sighed, she really wanted to tell her daughter that there are some things that really cannot be pursued.But how could she be able to speak about those shameful things?
But there is one thing she knows very well, she must find a way to resolve the hatred between her and the Wu brothers, otherwise...

Thinking of this, she couldn't care less about losing face, and said seriously: "I don't blame them for this matter, it's because I did something wrong to them first that they will retaliate like this."

"Huh? What did you do to them? Why didn't I know?" Wu Shun asked in surprise.

"Don't worry about it, anyway, you just need to know that I'm sorry for them first. Ever since your third sister was born, I... I've wanted to resolve this conflict, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity." Wu Yang said:
"It's the best chance for Chang'er to become the princess now. I will seek reconciliation with them, and you should stop hating them."

Wu Zetian seemed to understand something, glanced at his mother and turned his eyes to the side without saying anything.

As if bitten by a cat, Wu Shun jumped up and said, "Are you seeking reconciliation with them? No, I don't agree. I can barely accept not retaliating against them in the future. Don't even think about asking them to apologize."

"How do you say that you are also the wife of your father, Ming Media, and their mother. There is no reason for a mother to apologize to her son. Even if you are wrong, it is a thing of the past, and they have taken revenge. What else do you want?"

"What's more, the second sister is now a princess whose status is much higher than them, and there is no reason to seek reconciliation with them. It is they who beg us to reconcile."

Wu Yang said: "Because Chang'er is going to become the princess, we should reconcile with them."

Wu Shun frowned and looked at her, and said: "Mother, you are not confused, what is the reason for this? Second sister, why don't you talk, please persuade mother."

Wu Zetian sighed and didn't say a word.

Wu Yangshi explained: "It's hard to do it alone, and it's hard to gain a firm foothold in the palace without someone's help. The relatives are the most reliable help."

Wu Shun retorted: "Didn't Second Sister worship Qing Shui Hou as her teacher? Who dares to bully Second Sister if he protects her?"

Wu Yang said: "You can't rely on him for everything, can you? Besides, Marquis Qingshui has his own plans, what should he do when his ideas conflict with Chang'er's?"

"This..." Wu Shun was speechless.

Wu Yang continued: "So Chang'er must have her own confidants, only in this way can she truly secure her position as the crown princess. Blood is thicker than water, and the most trustworthy and cultivated are only those from her natal family."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu Yang rubbed her stomach, and said in a very unpleasant way: "It's a pity that my mother's stomach is not up to par, and I couldn't add a brother for you, otherwise, why would this be the case."

Back then, she designed to frame Wu Yuanshuang because she wanted to drive Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang out of the Wufu step by step, paving the way for her future son.

However, people are not as good as heaven. She gave birth to three daughters in succession and never saw a boy. In addition, she is too old to have children, so she gave up this heart.At this time, it was too late to turn around and build a good relationship with Wu Yuanqing and the two brothers.

Every time she thinks about this incident, she regrets it at the beginning, and she knew why it was so.Sometimes she even wondered if it was Buddha's punishment for her not having a son.

Wu Shun didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he said unconvinced: "Even if you are right, but with their attitude, would they be willing to help Second Sister? Don't be the first to stand up and sell Second Sister .”

Wu Yang shook his head and said: "No, Dalang and Erlang are not stupid, especially Dalang's talent and insight are all the top choices, and he must be able to understand the principle that cooperation can benefit both."

"As long as we give him a step down, it will not be difficult to resolve this misunderstanding. What do you think, Chang'er?"

Wu Zetian finally spoke, and she raised her head and said, "Try their tone first, it's best if you're willing to reconcile, and if you don't want to reconcile... Hmph, without them I can stand firm."

Wu Yang said happily: "It's still Chang'er who thinks clearly. Later, I will ask someone to send a few brocades from the palace to their courtyard, and they will naturally know what to do."

Seeing that her opinion was being ignored, Wu Shun stomped her feet angrily, but Wu Yang and Wu Zetian would not allow her to be petty about the major issues related to the future, and they quickly discussed a strategy.
