Extra 3: Lost a Long Time Ago

Mrs. Song also looked excited. The Queen wanted to summon them, which showed that she was thinking about their past relationship. The matter of Ming Zhao's entry into the court should be finalized.

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zhu quickly freshened up and followed the palace attendants into the palace.

Yu Youyao only wore Yanju's regular clothes, but she was still noble and majestic. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zhu quickly knelt down to worship, but they were deeply moved in their hearts.

She had been fond of Yu Youyao since she was a child. She felt that her mother died young, her grandmother was seriously ill and lingering on the bed, her father didn't care, and her stepmother was scheming. In such a family, it was really rare for her to still have a bright mind and not be timid.

But who would have thought that a sweet and cute person in the past would have such a good fortune? !

Yu Youyao quickly asked someone to help them get up and give them a seat.

When both parties met, they both expressed a lot of emotion. It was inevitable to talk about old friendships and current situations. However, due to the different status of Yu Youyao, Mrs. Song was inevitably a bit reserved when talking to Mr. Zhu.

Yu Youyao had mixed feelings in her heart, and then asked Song Wanhui: "How is Sister Song doing?"

Mentioning Song Wanhui, Mrs. Song's face showed a smile: "Not long after our family went to Xi'an, the clan helped to set up a bridge and arranged a marriage for Wanhui. It was General Huaiyong who guarded the Wei River. The former emperor One of the young generals under his command, General Huaiyong’s family has some connections with ours. After we arrived in Xi’an, we came to visit, and somehow we fell in love with Wanhui…”

Yu Youyao knew this.

General Huaiyong was a direct descendant of Yin Huaixi. He was a fourth-rank official and was twenty-six years old. When the two parties announced their marriage, Yin Huaixi got the news immediately and informed her of General Huaiyong's character and the situation at home in a letter. .

General Huaiyong's father was also a young general under King Zhou Li. After he died in the battle, only orphans and widowers were left in the family, and they were often cared for by King Zhou Li.

After Yin Huaixi ascended the throne, he was rewarded based on his merits, and he was awarded the title of General Huaiyong, General Zhaoyong, with an official rank of third rank, and he was also a high-ranking official in the territory.

Yu Youyao laughed: "General Zhaoyong has a noble character. The emperor often praises him. It is also a rare good marriage. The old lady has really good taste."

General Zhaoyong has only one mother in his family, and she is also a good-natured person. General Zhaoyong himself has a good character and is worthy of being entrusted with his life. So after learning about the marriage, Yu Youyao did not get involved.

The smile on Mrs. Zhu's face deepened: "Isn't that true? I was worried earlier. The two of them had just gotten engaged and rushed to get married. I was always unsure. But after Wanhui married into the General's Mansion, , I have the same temperament as my mother-in-law, there is nothing messy at home, the couple is living a solid life, I am very happy to see it."

At that time, General Huaiyong was twenty-six years old, six or seven years older than Wanhui. She was a little unhappy because her mother-in-law insisted on getting married, and Wanhui also had some feelings for General Huaiyong, so she had to reluctantly agree.

Considering that both parties were quite old, the marriage was arranged quickly, and I was worried that I might have wronged Wanhui.

Who knew that on the day of the wedding, General Zhaoyong went out of the city to hunt a pair of live geese before dawn, and followed the wedding team to the Song family.

It is said that since the two parties got engaged, General Zhaoyong began to hunt geese every day.

Geese are loyal birds and are committed to their spouses. When the wild geese fly south and north, the two geese fly together. They are no longer alone. There is a saying of "carrying the hand of the child and growing old together with the child." Meaning.

Only then did the Song family truly agree with this marriage.

Looking at the smiles on Mrs. Zhu's and Mrs. Song's faces, one could tell that Song Wanhui was living a comfortable life, and Yu Youyao was also truly happy for her.

On the second day, Song Mingzhao received the imperial edict and entered the palace to meet the new emperor.

Seeing the condescending king sitting on the dragon throne, Song Mingzhao suddenly remembered that when he went to visit the Yu Mansion in the past, the new emperor who was still "Cousin Zhou" sat next to his "cousin" and took a pair of tweezers to help him. A scene of peeling longans and pine nuts for "cousin" to eat.

Only you know whether the lotus heart is bitter or not.

Song Mingzhao slowly lowered his head, his heart filled with madness and unwillingness to shout. At this moment, seeing the new emperor like this, he thought of the past scenes frame by frame, and suddenly realized:

He had already lost.

Song Mingzhao filled the vacancy of Zuo Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who Yu Zongzong was really interested in, and appointed a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion to enter the cabinet and rise to prominence.

After Song Mingzhao returned home, the palace sent an oral edict from the new emperor.

Return the old residence of Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, grant it the title of "Song Mansion", and grant the title of "Mrs. Qin" to the old lady of Song Dynasty. As for the Zhu family, it depends on the son Song Mingzhao.

Since ancient times, the title of wife and mother-in-law is nothing more than that.

Returning to the 'Song Mansion', Song Mingzhao was almost sick. He decorated and arranged Jiuzhaoxuan bit by bit according to the way it looked in the nightmare after 'Yu Youyao' married into the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. It seemed that this was the only way he could feel his heart. Only when his heart is at ease can he truly belong. The dream that once made him miserable has now become his only comfort in this life.

…

After Song Mingzhao entered the dynasty, Emperor Zhaoyong decreed that Yu Zongshen should be named "Wenzhonggong", posthumously named "Wenzhong", and titled "Yu Wenzhonggong".

He became the second minister after Zhang Yanghao, the Duke of Wenzhong, to be posthumously named "Gong Wenzhong".

For a time, there were different opinions.

Some people believe that Yu Zongshen devoted his whole life to the Zhou Dynasty and died of illness and fatigue, so he was worthy of the name Yu Wenzhonggong.

Some people also believe that when Duke Wenzhong of Yu was still alive, he launched the "abandon the capital to protect the north" and helped the new emperor to pacify the northern border. It is natural for the new emperor to pursue posthumous titles and generous rewards.

There are also a few people who are jealous that the Yu clan is favored by the new emperor:

It is believed that Yu Zongshen deceived the world and stole his reputation. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he hired a large number of Yu clan members. This was obviously because of his lust and his stupidity and his favor to his relatives.

…

Later, he rectified the names of some former ministers, including Duke Ning Guo, his son Ning Guo Gong, and Mr. Lu Ge.

He restored the title of Ning Guogong and named the eldest son of Ning Guogong "Zhongyonghou".

It is very rare to have two nobles in one dynasty.

In addition, Queen Ning was given the title of 'Mrs. Rongguo', the first-grade Madam of Gaoming, and even Princess Liyang was given the title of 'Princess Qiuli'.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had long been destroyed, and the former titles of Queen Ning and Princess Liyang were in name only, and they no longer had the honor they once had.

He was considered decent enough.

If the Ning clan can be more diligent, they can be reused after entering the dynasty, and the revival of the Ning clan is just around the corner.

Yin Huaixi said quietly: "Did Mrs. Rongguo say when she will leave the palace?"

Eunuch Zhu hurriedly said: "Earlier, Mrs. Rongguo asked to see the emperor and asked the servants to send her away. There has been no movement from Yikun Palace in the past few days. I guess she has not seen the emperor, and it will be delayed for some time."

The words were spoken very tactfully, and the meaning was twisted three times, except that she did not say clearly that Mrs. Rong Guo was greedy and unwilling to leave the palace like this. She stayed in the palace and refused to leave until she saw the emperor.

He also felt that Queen Ning was ignorant.

Haha, we have all the extras you want, including Yu Zongshen’s extras, I’m still hesitating. . . To be honest, I don't want my daughter's mother to have anything to do with anyone in the Yu family, so I'm hesitant. . . .
