Chapter 230: The Imperial Response
The housekeeper of the county palace bowed to the ground, trembling, and Han Xing said, "In front of Your Majesty, there is one thing to say, not to hide it, not to lie." ”
"Since Aunt Yu was in charge of the public middle school, she has been greedy for more than dozens of taels of silver. The housekeeper shook his legs and said, "How much, the small one is really not clear, yesterday, the big housekeeper, the second housekeeper was found by the princess, twisted and sent to the official, the family property was confiscated, and the family members were also sold." ”
"So much silver?" Qi Zongwen frowned when he heard the numbers, just one aunt can be greedy for so much ink, and there are also housekeepers in the mansion, if the amount is not large, why not twist the officials, how much silver is there in this county palace in a year, and the rewards for the New Year's Festival are so much.
Huai Ping was gloomy, there was annoyance, and there was also dissatisfaction, this housekeeper was not ranked in the county king's mansion before, who knows if someone else told him something when he brought him here, standing on the princess's side.
"Since the aunt housekeeping, the princess, all the expenses in the princess's small courtyard are the princess's own responsibility, and she has never used a penny from the princess, the princess and the two masters, they are. ”
Qi Zongwen couldn't bear it, stood up and patted the table with Huaiping and said, "You are confused." ”
Huaiping immediately knelt down, his head bowed to the ground, his heart was full of disbelief, princess, princess is not a person who has no temper at all, if she is treated like this, she should come and tell him, why haven't she noticed it for a year. ”
With the old Hou tears, "It's nothing to spend some money, when the little girl got married, the old minister bought her a thick dowry, even raising a few more children, but the king of the county can't be so unlucky, you just want the princess to support this family, you also have to make trade-offs, you are reluctant to the princess's silver, and you are reluctant to let the slut of the merchant's messy roots, the good things in the world are let you touch." ”
"Anyway, it's also a married couple, she vomited blood in front of you, so you don't feel a little distressed?"
"I'm not. King Huaiping raised his head suddenly, "I didn't mean to be angry with her, and I didn't know that she would vomit blood." ”
"She and Yu'er have always been on discord, I'm just, I'm just in a hurry, and I didn't ask the reason. ”
"Didn't you say something to her?" asked him at the court, "The only two sons under your knees now are out of her arms, and you say that she is a crazy woman in front of everyone, and you don't care about your young son, and you don't want these two sons to inherit the throne of the county, do you?"
"When your beloved slut gives birth to a child, will my two innocent grandsons have to be sent to a dead end by their biological father?"
"It's not. Huaiping glared back, "How can my father-in-law think of me like this, tiger poison is not yet a child." ”
"People are terrible, don't you understand?" said Suihou bitterly, "You said that their biological mother is crazy, how will they deal with themselves in the future?"
Sui Hou turned to bow to His Majesty, "The old minister begs His Majesty for mercy, sympathizes with the old minister and serves the country loyally all his life, don't let the old minister send the white-haired person to the black-haired person." ”
"With Hou's words, it really makes me embarrassed. Qi Zongwen walked down and mixed up with Suihou, "This matter, the Qi family can't stand you." ”
"When the queen mother suddenly pointed out the marriage, the old minister didn't say a word, and prepared a dowry, and His Majesty also saw it in his eyes at the beginning, and wanted to say kiss to the county king, how many families avoided it, and hid their daughters. ”
"It's the little girl's blessing, she can't afford such a big blessing as the princess of the county, and please ask Your Majesty to call the shots, just go to each place. ”
"Father-in-law. Huaiping was shocked, he thought that Suihou had found His Majesty just to give the princess an explanation, but he didn't expect him to be gracious and break off.
"Father-in-law loves his daughter, is he going to give her a dead end?"
"If she stays in the county king's mansion, it will really be a dead end. Sui Hou said, "I don't want to lose face, I just want my son to live well." ”
"Follow. Qi Zongwen increased his voice and said, "I will give you an explanation." ”
Suihou was led out by Han Xing, Qi Zongwen looked at Huaiping condescendingly, and sighed after half a sound, "I, I really don't know what to say about you." ”
Huai Ping was silent.
"My father loved you very much when he was alive, even when he was dying, he also asked me to treat you well, I think that I will see his old man in the future and have something to say, what about you, what do you see how you live your own life?"
"Your Majesty won't really let me divorce my wife, right?" Huaiping looked up at the clubhouse, "I haven't had a princess divorced yet, and cold words will force her to death." ”
"Now that you know you're worried, why did you go earlier?" Qi Zongwen said, "Sui Hou begged me like this, can I act as if nothing happened? ”
"I, I can send Yu'er away, I won't see her for the rest of my life. Huaiping bowed his head and said, "In the future, respect and love the princess, and there will never be such a thing again." ”
"It's late. Qi Zongwen sighed, "Could it be that I want you to come to such a point? If you two reconcile and separate, the entire royal family will be disgraced." ”
"When you saw the princess vomiting blood, you should have thought of a later move, even if you stopped the marquis from coming to me to complain, this matter can be covered up, no matter what you say in private, I should not know. Qi Zongwen said bitterly, "But you didn't stop it, you didn't think about any tricks." ”
"Suihou, he is a meritorious family, he has always been aware of his intentions, loyal and patriotic, he is kneeling and crying here at such an age, crying and begging, do you let me not see it?"
"That's not how it works. ”
"Besides, the princess has been in charge of the family since she married you, there is nothing wrong with it, and she gave birth to two sons for you, and now you are so bad to her because of a concubine, if I follow the marquis, I will not be able to spare you. Qi Zongwen said angrily, "If you weren't the king of the county, the Suihou family would have put a sack on you and beaten you with a stick." ”
This is really not nothing, when Qi Zongwen was still the prince, there was also such a high-ranking gentleman in the capital, who doted on his concubines, was not good to his wife, and his wife's background was not low.
Jing Zhaoyin couldn't find anyone's hand to move, and the adults of the two in-laws made an appointment for wine, and said to each other that their children were not, and the matter was over.
The gentleman begged for a beating, and then he didn't dare to be disrespectful to his wife, and he also cultivated some true feelings during the period of recuperation.
But this has to be an equal match between the two families, the wife's family is too weak to dare to do it, if the husband's family is a royal family, even if the wife is from a famous family, he will not dare to move, and if the hat of despising the imperial power is buttoned down, he will be exiled by the family.
"Then there's no way to do it?" Huai Ping asked in a daze, all this happened too suddenly, he couldn't accept it.
"Now it depends on whether your good uncle Wang can convince Suihou whether things have taken a turn for the better, otherwise. Qi Zongwen shook his head, let Huaiping stay where he was, and he left first.
Qin Yunyi's words were only halfway seen, Qi Zongwen came back with an unhappy face, got up to greet him, "What's so difficult with Suihou? Your Majesty has been gone for a while." ”
"Don't say it, it's an annoyance. Qi Zongwen said.
Qin Yunyi touched the sweat on the back of his neck, pushed him to change into a regular clothes, and then came out, just enough to have a bowl of mung bean juice with ice, Qi Zongwen didn't have enough bowls, and shouted another bowl.
"Dinner was going to be served right away. Qin Yunyi reminded him, but he didn't stop it.
While he was having dinner, the chamberlain hurried in and said that the good king had come, "Let him come in." Qi Zongwen said, "Add him a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
Qin Yunyi wanted to get up and leave them a quiet place to talk, Qi Zongwen pulled her down, "You eat yours." ”
When King Shanwang came in and saw that His Majesty was eating, he hurriedly bent down and said that he was rude, "It's okay, you sit down and talk while eating." ”
Qin Yunyi saw that he was sweating profusely, so he motioned to the palace maid to come up with a towel and wipe it for the good king.
"What did Suihou say?" Qi Zongwen asked.
When the good king heard this, he immediately showed a bitter face, "Suihou has no other thoughts, just to reconcile and separate, if you can't reconcile, you can divorce your wife." ”
"This matter is that Huaiping can't live with others, and now let him divorce his wife, who has become of the Qi family?" Qi Zongwen said.
The Good King nodded, "Isn't it?"
"Suihou has been prepared, and in the past year, the princess of the county has suffered a lot of grievances. The good king said, "The piles and piles are counted carefully, so that I feel sorry for others, how can I still persuade others." ”
"Okay, this is just a difficult thing for you. Qi Zongwen said, "After all, our two uncles did their best, and Huaiping should be responsible for the wrong things he did." ”
"I used to look at him so well, how could I do such a thing?" King Shanwang also sighed and said, "The first time I said that the family of relatives, because the fighting method between Li Guigui and the Queen Mother was gone, who in Beijing was willing to marry her daughter to her at that time? ”
"The princess of the county married him, and I didn't hear anything wrong, and the princess also said at home that she occasionally met the princess of the county, which was a spring breeze, amiable, and the child also gave birth to two, so there is really no place to live with him. ”
"Why is he so obsessed with his mind and doing such a thing of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife. ”
The good king Wuzi was still sighing, Qi Zongwen had already made a decision, he called Han Xing, went to the county princess's mansion to spread my will, and said that the princess of the county was weak, and I agreed to follow the request of the marquis, let the princess of the county be divided into Bepfu, and will take care of her body.
When the good king heard this, he said to Qi Zongwen, "Your Majesty is benevolent, but I am afraid of following Hou Na." ”
After all, as long as the marquis is categorical, as long as it is separated, this Beppu has been divided, and I am afraid that I am unwilling.
"Suihou can figure it out, it's easy for my daughter to part, but it's probably difficult to see my grandson again. Qin Yunyi quickly understood His Majesty's intentions, so he explained to King Shan, "The child who is the youngest of the princess of the county was separated from her mother before she was two years old, and this is going to kill both parties. ”
"Since His Majesty has allowed her to divide Beppu, she is still the princess of the county, and the two children can live next to her, which is the best way at the moment. ”
"It's just that I still have to bother you to persuade the county king, at least within this year, don't come forward to disturb the life of the princess of the county and her mother, and after that, whether you want the father and son to meet, or the husband and wife reunite, let them discuss it themselves. ”
Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, this is obviously what he meant, and nodded and said that he knew, and he was about to retire.
When the good king retired, Qin Yunyi looked at Qi Zongwen, "This matter is solved, why is Your Majesty still unhappy?"
