Chapter 177: Fate
Qi Jiao's promotion to a noble concubine and Qi Yun's will to be named a noble person also spread to the Zhang Mansion. The old lady was very uncomfortable when she heard it, she didn't expect her second son and his wife to be so ruthless, and send a good girl to that kind of unsightly place. But after all, Qi Yun is a concubine, and she has done such a thing to Saiyu before, no matter what the reason, it shows that this child is also confused, and the old lady didn't say anything, but she has to worry about the reputation of the Zhang family, and two sisters in the family have entered the palace, which is a big obstacle to the reputation of the Zhang family.
Thinking of this, the old lady called Zhang Hou and his wife to her room. The Wang family fulfilled his wish, and it was the time when he was smiling, and Zhang Hou was also very happy that the emperor could appreciate Qi Yun, so that the Zhang family had a double guarantee. At this time, someone came to report that the old lady had an invitation, and the couple hurriedly cleaned up and went to the old lady's Zhengde Hall.
When the old lady saw that Zhang Hou and his wife were angry, she hated how she could teach such a son.
"Mother, I don't know what is the matter with calling my son over at this time?" Zhang Hou looked at his mother and asked.
"What else can I do, is there still the Zhang family in the eyes of your husband and wife, one is not enough, send the other one in, I don't know what you earned, I only know that it is the reputation of the Zhang family that is lost. ”
"Mother, what you say, after this Qi Jiao was made a concubine, the master was promoted without being an official. As soon as the Wang family heard the old lady accuse them of sending the child to the palace, they hurriedly said, originally wanted to express Qi Jiao's contribution to the family, but who knew that this would provoke the old lady and Zhang Hou at the same time.
"You see, before I heard this outside, I said it first in my own house. Could it be that the officials of our Zhang family are all obtained by selling their daughters?" The old lady looked at Zhang Hou, her eyes full of sarcasm. Zhang Hou didn't feel good in his heart, even if he thought so in his heart, he would never put such words on the surface, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart about why the Wang family was so open-mouthed.
The mother was angry, there was actually an inside story about this matter, and the son had not had time to report it to his mother. ”
"Insider. What's going on?"
"That's right, Qi Jiao has not been pregnant for a year since she married into the prince's mansion, and her mother is not at ease. I found a very famous female doctor to show Qi Jiao, who knew that the female doctor said that Qi Jiao was poisoned by the cold, and she may not have the opportunity to conceive a child in this life. ”
"What did you say?" the old lady's voice trembled.
"What's going on?"
"This son doesn't know either?" The old lady listened to Zhang Hou's words and looked at the Wang family, and the Wang family felt weak for a while. But he still insisted on saying:
"The daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on? If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have sent Qi Yun in. In the future, Qi Yun will have a man and a woman, and Qi Jiao will also have a person to rely on, and besides, the two sisters can take care of each other when they are there. The old lady shook her head,
"Have you ever thought about it, the prince's mansion has never had an heir, what is the reason for this? Qi Yun can conceive a child if she goes?"
"Mother's meaning ......" Zhang Hou listened to the old lady's words, and also regretted that he didn't think it through at that time, if so, wouldn't he give up a daughter in vain. Wang didn't say anything, as long as it was for her daughter's good in her heart. What is a mere Qi Yun? The old lady looked at Zhang Hou and his wife, and said that they had not thought about it thoroughly, and they both had remorse, so she said:
"Now that I know that I regret it, what did I do when I sent my daughter to the palace? According to the current situation in the palace, there will be no children in the palace before the queen mother has no children. ”
Zhang Hou listened to the old lady's words and glared at Wang, who lowered his head and didn't see it.
"Mother, this matter is a son's lack of thought. I didn't ask my mother what she meant, I really shouldn't have been, but the matter has come to this, and we can only help the two sisters. Gain a foothold in the palace. ”
"Forget it, your own daughters can do it yourself, I can't care about it at my age. The old lady sighed and said, after all, she was different from Qi Yun and Sai Yu.
"It's just that this matter is related to the reputation of our Zhang family, so you have to be more careful in the future. Zhang Hou knew that this matter was settled in the old lady's place, and hurriedly agreed.
However, it was said that this news was also transmitted to Shandong Fuwang Mansion along with other news. King Fu and Li Yi looked at each other when they got the news. They really couldn't understand why the Zhang family would send another daughter into the palace in such a disregard for their reputation. The Zhang family was originally a scholarly family, so his reputation in Shilin was greatly reduced.
"My royal brother is really no one to care about now, the barbarians in the north are eyeing him, but he has no interest in state affairs, and he is nostalgic for the harem all day long, the former imperial brother is not like this. King Fu said with some indignation.
"Maybe we didn't find it before, and now it's just the original form. Li Yi said.
"If that were the case, my father would be disappointed. Although King Fu and the first emperor do not have a deep relationship, they are still a little embarrassed about the sudden death of the first emperor, after all, it is the nature of father and son.
"Lord Wang, Brother Chongzheng said in this letter that there is a saying circulating in the capital that the first emperor may not have died of illness. It is said that when the first emperor died, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in front of him. ”
"But the imperial brother is the heir of his father's emperor, and Concubine Lian is said to be his father's favorite concubine, what motive do they have to harm people?"
"It's hard to say, I guess if there is really anything, the palace people at that time have also been dealt with. Nothing will be left for people to find out. ”
"Yes, it's probably not easy to investigate this matter. The royal brother didn't even allow a few of us brothers to go back to the funeral, I don't know if there is anything to hide it. But now the position of the imperial brother is stable, Wen has the king and the scholar is a general Wenchen, and the military general led by your uncle, the situation is good. ”
The two talked for a while, and Li Yi went back to his house. Today, Shi went to the temple to listen to the master's teachings, and he didn't come back at night, so Li Yi went back to his courtyard directly. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw several maids doing needlework together. As soon as they saw Li Yi coming back, they quickly stood up and saluted, although this uncle didn't lose his temper or speak loudly, he rarely smiled in front of them, so they were all a little afraid of Li Yi.
"What about your young grandmother?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Less...... Young grandma is ...... I am resting inside. Qiu Yan whispered, as soon as she saw Li Yi, her face was a little red, and she was a little uneasy to speak. Li Yi snorted and walked straight in, without even looking at her.
Since Saitama was pregnant, she was always prone to sleepiness and had to sleep for a few hours every day. At this time, Li Yi saw Saitama sleeping peacefully, covered with an apricot-red silk quilt, and his arms were placed outside, revealing a snow-white lotus root. Qiushuang was doing work next to her, and when she saw Li Yi standing up and saluting, she was about to say something, but Li Yi waved her hand, went to the back room to wash her face, and changed into homely clothes. Qiushuang knew that Li Yi didn't like people to stay here, so she saluted and quietly withdrew.
Li Yi saw that Saitama was sleeping comfortably, so he also took off his shoes and lay on the bed. Gently picked up Saitama's arm and put it under the quilt, looking at her sleeping face intently. It seems that staying by Saitama's side always gives him a sense of peace, and before he knows it, he also feels sleepy, and he actually falls asleep.
When Saitama woke up, he felt that there was someone next to him, so he hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Yi, and he couldn't help but feel a lot better. Li Yi's nose is very good-looking, as straight as a knife cut, which makes people want to touch it. Saitama had such thoughts at this time, but as soon as her hand touched her destination, she was caught. It turned out that Li Yi had woken up a long time ago and deliberately teased Saitama.
"You slept so soundly, like a piggy. Li Yi said with a smile, and nodded Saitama's nose.
"I've been sleepy lately, so I don't know if there's any problem?" Saitama said quietly.
"The imperial doctor comes to check the pulse every day, there should be no problem, don't worry about it. Li Yi comforted.
"What's the news in Beijing lately?" Saitama always gets news about the capital from Li Yi, and waiting for a letter from the family is really a long process.
"It's nothing special, but there's one related to your Zhang family. Li Yi deliberately sold a pass.
"What is it, what's the matter?" Saitama asked.
"Do you have anything to thank me for?" Li Yi's eyes were full of banter, Saitama knew that Li Yi was joking with her and playing tricks again, but in order to quickly know the news of the family, she still compromised. Saitama stepped forward and kissed Li Yi lightly on the cheek.
"This news is important, it's not enough!" Li Yi put on a businesslike appearance, so angry that Saitama turned his head and ignored him.
"I really don't want to know?" Li Yi teased Saitama again.
"You're bullying me!" Saitama said angrily.
"Then I'll apologize to you!" Li Yi kissed Saitama on the lips as he spoke, and only reluctantly let go when he realized that his body was about to lose control.
"It's so hard, there's still eight months left. Li Yi muttered, and Saitama looked at him, covering his mouth and laughing.
"Tell me what the hell is going on. ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that your third sister was named Concubine Zhao. ”
"My stepmother must have been glad that she finally got her wish. Saitama wasn't very interested in it.
"I'm afraid it's not all happy. Li Yi said.
"Why?"
"Because your fourth sister has been made a nobleman. ”
"What, the fourth sister has also entered the palace?" Saitama said in surprise.
"Hmm. ”
"But I haven't heard of the emperor's draft girl recently. ”
"She shouldn't have been drafted, it is estimated that your third sister got in. ”
"But why did she get someone to go in and share her favor, didn't she hear that she was very favored by the emperor?" Saiyu was a little puzzled, how could someone like Xiang Qijiao let Qi Yun share a husband with her. She was really puzzled. (To be continued.) )
