Seeing the ministers driving away from the main gate of Situ Mansion one by one, Huang Lin, who was in charge of staring at the old Situ, frowned slightly with a group of soldiers and horses from the Five Cities, "Head, this Lord Situ has invited so many ministers, sons and nobles to come, I'm afraid it's something important to discuss, right?"

"Do we want to report this to Captain Liu?"

"Well, you go and report, we'll continue to guard here, and we'll see the situation again. ”

Huang Lin nodded and sent three people back to pay respects.

At the same time, the back door of Situ's mansion also quietly opened, and the woman who helped the kitchen took advantage of the vacancy she had bought in the morning to leave Situ's mansion, ran through the streets and alleys towards the alley of the slums, and then slapped open the firewood door of a household, shouting, "Old man, old man!"

"What's the matter?"

The old man had just come back from night, and was about to rest, when he heard the movement and got up again.

"Oh no, Lord Situ and the ministers are going to abolish Her Royal Highness!" the person who came anxiously explained the situation in Situ's mansion last night, "What should we do, we can't let them remove the princess, then who will be in charge of us in the future?"

"What?"

"No, I have to quickly inform Lao Wan and Phoenix Feather Tail!"

The old man hurriedly turned around and went back to the house, put on his coat again, and walked out.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, there's news, I'll come back to inform you, I have to hurry up to buy groceries now, so I can't be discovered." The woman took the basket and went to the bazaar to buy it.

"Well, you go back first, be careful. ”

The old man advised, and also went out with his things and went to the Wanji wonton shop.

……

And the ministers left Situ Mansion and immediately rushed to the next destination.

Ruo Ao Ling Yin's inner study in the main courtyard.

Because of today's rest, they wanted to let Lord Yin rest at home, so everyone ordered people to go to Ruo Ao's mansion, and on such an occasion, Ruo Ao Ziliang and Lao Situ were naturally not present, and it was inconvenient to attend.

After Li Lao's words were finished, the inner study of the main courtyard of Ling Yin was suddenly quiet, and all the henchmen were waiting for the reply of the middle-aged man sitting behind the long case, after all, if they wanted to move the princess, they still had to ask Lord Ling Yin what he meant, and with his permission, they dared to really do it.

At this moment, a cold morning breeze blew in from the open windows.

Xu didn't sleep all night, and everyone felt a trace of fatigue and a thorough coolness hit their skin, bringing a cold, and they couldn't help but tighten the court clothes that they didn't have time to change all day and night.

Ling Yin, who was sitting in the middle and wearing a wide robe, did not speak for a long time.

The heads of the major clans did not dare to speak out, and some even had a little retreat because of the dark color that made Lord Yin secretive.

After a long time, Ling Yin Zi's hands that had been crossed on the case stood up, looked at everyone with a pair of deep eyes, nodded slightly and said, "Since the princess is so disrespectful of etiquette and the family, a princess who will affect the interests of the family really needs to let her understand the truth of the existence of the family." Even if she is my daughter-in-law, she can't be tolerated, otherwise, as the head of the Ruo Ao clan and as the commander of a country, I don't know how to give an explanation to all the clans who support my Ruo Ao clan. ”

It's just that his slightly raised volume makes people still can't help but realize that this is making Lord Yin angry.

Even if the evil act of suppressing the princess is proposed, it should be brought forward by Lord Ling Yin first, rather than their collective coercion, but this also means that Lord Ling Yin has already made a choice: between the family and the princess.

Everyone confessed on the one hand, and praised Yin for having the overall situation.

Li Lao stroked his white beard and said slowly, "I say on behalf of everyone, Wanwang Ling Yin should not be angry.

Our move today is just to hope that we can calm down the turmoil of the displaced people's case, and second, we can knock on the common people who are now more and more forgetful, after all, the system of respect and humility for thousands of years must be respected, and the order of the co-governance of Shiqing and the royal family in the past 300 years of my Great Chu cannot be chaotic.

We impeached the princess only to exert pressure.

I just hope that the lady can see the good of our family.

On the other hand, if the princess can't see our family's support for her, it will inevitably be discordant with the monarch and the ministers in the future.

And today, everyone said that this does not mean that we do not support the decision of Lord Ling Yin, on the contrary, we will support every wise decision of Lord Ling Yin and the horse in the future, and we will always follow Lord Ling Yin and the horse, don't you say?"

Ling Yin Ziban kept his brows calm, looking at the courtiers and henchmen in the study, he raised his hand when he heard this, and said loudly, "Okay, needless to say, this matter Ben Yin already understands everyone's worries."

However, everyone needs to know that now my eldest nephew Yue Jiao is the root cause of the chaos in Yingdu, and his wolf ambition is not small, and he endures pain and kills his relatives like a son, all for the stability and prosperity of the entire family.

And the princess is just a woman after all, and she will inevitably have a husband and children in the future, which will not affect our overall situation.

Therefore, Ben Yin can temporarily make concessions for the sake of the family, but in the country, Ben Yin will not give an inch!"

Hearing this, the ministers' hearts sank slightly, knowing that Lord Ling Yin would continue to attack Captain Ruoao, but this was no longer what they cared about.

Regardless of whether the dynasty changes or not, all they care about is that the interests of the family cannot be shaken.

This is the fundamental order, and no one can defend it.

"Yes, what Lord Yin said is extremely true!"

When the discussion was over, everyone dispersed, and Yin Zi walked out along the inner study, the autumn breeze outside the house was refreshing, only occasionally a few dark clouds drifted by, and after receiving this good time, the civil officials on the left and right have been following him, quietly holding bamboo slips and pens in their hands.

Even when Mrs. Wang came, she was stopped from speaking out.

Madame Wang asked from a distance why so many courtiers had gathered in the butler's study today.

The housekeeper didn't know whether to answer, so he only bowed his head and replied, "Madam, I'm afraid that Lord Ling Yin is for the sake of the displaced people's case again, after all, now that the prince has been on the expedition for more than a month, the adults are worried." ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she somehow panicked and showed a trace of worry.

And she didn't know much about it, so she could only tell the butler to prepare lunch.

……

In the palace, after the zigzag corridor dotted with wisteria flowers, you can vaguely see the chrysanthemums blooming all over the golden garden of the royal garden, a pair of mother and daughter who are more delicate than flowers, at this time the young woman, wearing a purple long skirt, delicate and charming, the mother is wearing a loose eight-tailed phoenix robe, although she is pregnant, it is rare to carry the jade couch in the garden to bask in the sun, from time to time to direct the gardener to prune the flower branches, and from time to time there are palace maids feeding her sour dates, which is very comfortable.

Gege's laughter.

Through the golden chrysanthemums, there is a faint sound.

The king of Chu took Zhao Changzhi and followed by a group of attendants, seeing the mother and daughter laughing so happily, he laughed and approached, "I haven't seen my concubine so happy for a long time, and sure enough, Zhao'er is back, and this palace is much more joyful." ”

When the people in the temple heard the voice, they all bowed down and shouted in unison, "King Jin'an".

Mi Zhao and Aunt Li also helped Princess Wu to stay and salute, and when the King of Chu saw it, he hurriedly ordered Zhao Chang to pick up Mi Zhao, and he held Princess Wu in vain, "Ai Concubine, pregnant and weak, I have suffered for the widow." These customs are not used between our old husbands and wives. ”

"The King's ......"

Princess Wu glared at him, her jade finger tapped at him, and whispered, "In front of my daughter, this should still have the courtesy, otherwise how can we have the face of our heavenly family? ”

King Chu laughed, "Zhao'er has not seen it since she was a child, not to mention that there are only three of us in this palace now, and there are no outsiders, so all the red tape in the court can be saved." ”

When Mi Zhao heard this, he immediately pulled Princess Wu's other arm and said with a smile, "Mother, as long as your father is here, you and your father will say something that Zhao'er can't listen to." ”

"Your father and daughter are now playing tricks on me. ”

Princess Wu pretended to cross her waist and said, causing the King of Chu to laugh out loud again, "If there is a father, there must be a daughter!"

Finally, the rare two-day rest day every month, hugging his wife and daughter, the family went back to the palace with a smile, and the king of Chu felt as if he had returned to his own home, and he didn't have to hold the king's shelf all day long like in the court, and he couldn't be lazy or sleep.

Only this Purple Smoke Palace can make him feel a rare family happiness.

He entered the locker room under the service of Zhao Changshi, took off his court clothes, changed into a Chinese robe, and when he walked out of the dressing room, he saw Mi Zhao holding a pair of deerskin boots guarding outside, "Father, this is the sika deer that Zhao'er hunted with his own hands on the mountain of the ancestral temple, and then ordered someone to make the boots, the father has bad legs and feet, which is difficult to move an inch every winter, and it is just right to wear these deerskin boots." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mi Zhao bent down and wanted to put on his boots for the king of Chu himself.

Seeing this, Zhao Changzhi naturally hurriedly grabbed this job, put on boots for the king of Chu, and the king of Chu walked a few steps, and was really warm, and his heart was moved, and he praised, "Haha...... Well, sure enough, Zhao'er is the most intimate princess of the widow. ”

said that it was a small banquet, but it was not also very rich, basically following the taste of the king of Chu, a family of three sat at the same table to eat, and the king of Chu regained the feeling of being happy as a family, which made the king of Chu extremely relaxed.

Mi Zhao quipped, "My father is not a family of three now, but a family of four, don't forget that the mother concubine has a younger brother in her belly, otherwise he will definitely be jealous when he comes out in the future." ”

King Chu patted his head and nodded repeatedly, then his big hand landed on the towering belly of Princess Wu beside him and said to the child inside, "Lone almost forgot about you!"

"Ai Concubine, Gu has already thought of a name for our beloved son, so he is called Xi, he is the last heir of my Chu State. ”

"The widow shall love him as a treasure, and give him the best of the widow. ”

Princess Wu said slowly, "The king must remember today's words, don't make our mother and son sad." ”

After a long time, a noise sounded, and Zhao Changshou walked into the hall and said, "The king, old Situ, Sima They are waiting outside the palace, saying that they have something to ask to see the king." ”

"What's the matter?"

King Chu immediately accepted the smile on his face and immediately stepped down.

It's really a good rest day every month, and I can always meet a few people who are bored with self-deprecation.

"I'm afraid it's for the sake of the displaced people's case. ”

Zhao Changshou looked at him and bowed down and replied, "If the king doesn't want to pay attention to it, why don't Zhao De order someone to persuade them to send them away?"

"Well, if you want to talk about the case, let's talk about it when the day after tomorrow, today and tomorrow, the widow will rest, accompany the concubine, see you and see you!"

The King of Chu frowned when he heard this, and waved his hand.

"Why didn't the king see it, the case of the displaced people is a big deal!" Princess Wu said next to him.

"If there is a result, it will naturally be told in the court, and now I ask to see it in private, I am afraid that there will be no good thing. The king of Chu said reluctantly, he was most annoyed by these private seekers, and there were no good things nine out of ten.

"Then the king will be gone! Accompany the concubine for two days. ”

Mi Zhao sat on the other side of him, and said with a smile, "According to Imperial Doctor Fang, the mother concubine is old, maybe there will be premature birth, does Imperial Doctor Fang say yes?"

"Yes, the princess is an advanced maternal age, and her body is different from that of a young woman, and if she waits until she gives birth at term, the child may be too big, and the princess will have more difficulty when she gives birth. Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Fang stepped forward and bowed back.

When the King of Chu heard this, he immediately panicked, "Then do you want Imperial Doctor Zheng to join you, so that the widow can rest assured!"

"Father, you are too worried, Imperial Doctor Fang is a holy hand in gynecology, and there are several female doctors, midwives, and witches to help each other, and they will be able to ensure that the mother and concubine are happy. Mi Zhao said on the side, and Imperial Doctor Fang also assured again and again, "The princess is only weak, and it is more secure to be born prematurely in the safety of the mother and child. ”

"Okay, the widow doesn't want to leave Concubine Ai for the past two days. ”

When the King of Chu heard this, he was slightly relieved and carefully accompanied Princess Wu.

After everyone withdrew from the dormitory, leaving only the King of Chu and Princess Wu to take a lunch break, and returned to their own dormitory to close the door, Mi Zhao retreated left and right, leaving only the imperial doctor Fang and asked, "Is everything ready?"

"Ready, princess, rest assured. ”

Imperial Doctor Fang looked at Mi Zhao's more plump and bewitching figure, "It's just what Fang wants, I don't know if the princess can give it?"

"What do you want?"

Qi Zhao sketched the handsome face of Imperial Doctor Fang, and said with a smile on his red lips, "This princess can't give you anything except for a title for the time being, what else can't I give you." ”

The two of them both fell on the soft couch, Qin Hong guarded the door, not letting people approach, and lowered his head tightly, pretending not to hear any sound.
