Chapter Seventy-Three: Indefensible (2)
There has always been no shortage of fights in the homes of wealthy nobles, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, a century-old noble family, is naturally no exception. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Pei Tingyan's brothers and sisters were young, because Cheng Enhou's old man was unproductive, the people in the other rooms in the house openly and secretly suppressed the people who bullied the second room.
Later, Pei Tingyan had the title of Marquis of Wuning, and married the pearl of the first assistant of the cabinet as his wife, and then Pei Tingyu married into the royal family, and the status of the second room in the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion can be described as rising.
Especially after Pei Tingyu became the mother of a country, even Pei Tingyan's eldest uncle, the prince of Weiyuan Hou, was not as effective as Pei Tingyan in the mansion.
People's jealousy is inevitable, although everyone comes from the same vein, but for people who are better than themselves, even if they are close relatives, they can't like it.
Helplessly, the second room is powerful, and each room has a lot of reliance on Pei Tingyan, and even Lao Weiyuan has handed over a large part of the power in his hand to him in recent years.
In addition, Gu Xi himself acted very steadily and generously, and took great care of all the rooms in the house, although others were jealous but more convinced, although there were small conflicts between the houses in the house in the past 20 years, they never went out of the house.
Therefore, among the descendants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the one who has the most stable foothold and can give the most support to the queen is none other than the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Empress Pei enjoyed the support that her brother and sister-in-law had worked hard to bring her, and on the other hand, she used the most vicious heart to calculate her own nieces, so how could Gu Xi not hate?
The people in the other rooms of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion may not really hope that Pei Tingyan will be unlucky, but seeing that the couple in the second room have a disagreement, they have some mentality of watching a play.
Anyway, this is Fengxiang Palace, and it can be regarded as the territory of his own family, even if he really makes a fool of himself, he will be suppressed to the greatest extent.
The eldest son of the second room who is high up, Uncle Wu Ninghou, is not something you can see every day.
And the arrogant and arrogant lord of Ruijia, who in the mansion hasn't seen her face? I didn't expect her to be an impostor!
Such a lively is simply not to see in vain!
Everyone present pricked up their ears and listened to Gu Xi's words word for word.
Sure enough, if you eat too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, you will get tired of it, and guarding Gu Xi, a beauty with a peerless appearance, Pei Tingyan will still steal fish.
Back then, the maid didn't know what kind of person she was, and her methods were so clever.
Not only can he hook up with Wu Ninghou, but he can also conceive a child smoothly.
Not only was she conceived and given birth smoothly, but she was also able to play a magical trick, and Shengsheng put a maidservant daughter in the position of the concubine of the Hou Mansion and even the county lord.
It's just unconvincing.
How keen Emperor Yongtai was, the dragon's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the Marquis of Wuning and his wife, the rest of the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion and others have gone to the side hall to wait. ”
It doesn't matter if these people want to see Pei Tingyan make a fool of himself, but they shouldn't look at Gu Xi with gloating eyes, he absolutely can't tolerate this.
The palace people were ordered to invite a group of people to the side hall, and even Pei Jinxin, who was still in a daze, was half-pulled and half-dragged out by Pei Jincheng.
In the main hall, only the emperor and Pei Tingyan and his wife remained, as well as Liu Shun and Mama Zheng's two henchmen.
Emperor Yongtai's face finally softened a little, and he said softly: "You husband and wife don't have to kneel, everyone is not an outsider, sit down and talk slowly." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Gu Xi finally stopped being stubborn, stood up with Pei Tingyan's support, and walked to the side and sat down.
"Gu Xi, listen to the meaning of your words, the matter of changing the baby girl back then had nothing to do with Pei Tingyan, but was done by that maid?"
Gu Xi said calmly: "Exactly, although the Hou Ye will inevitably make mistakes sometimes, he has always loved his concubines and several children, and he will never persecute his concubine for the sake of a concubine who is a mere lowly maid."
Pei Tingyan blocked his chest in one breath, he couldn't go up or down, he was uncomfortable, and when he made a mistake, his wife was really merciful to him.
And Pei Tingyu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
She and her baby daughter turned out to be sluts and concubines in the mouth of this slut?
If His Majesty hadn't been there, she would have prevented this thousand-year-old fox spirit from seeing the sun tomorrow morning!
Emperor Yongtai's attention was not on the Pei brothers and sisters, and his question was only directed at Gu Xi: "The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is a hairpin family, as Mrs. Hou, you are still surrounded by servants on weekdays, why do you let such cheap maids find the opportunity to calculate when you give birth?"
The sharp light that flashed in Gu Ximei's eyes lightly crossed Queen Pei's face, and she said in a very sad tone: "When the concubine gave birth to her daughter, the queen mother was present. ”
There were many people who knew that Gu Xi was born prematurely, but where exactly he was born prematurely, and the details would not be passed on to people to know.
No matter how much Emperor Yongtai cared about Gu Xi, it was not easy to inquire about her giving birth to a child back then.
Gu Xifangcai's words sounded very simple, but they invisibly set a trap for Queen Pei.
How shrewd Pei Tingyu is, how could Emperor Yongtai, as her husband, not know?
Since she was present when her sister-in-law gave birth, why would she allow such a thing to happen under her eyes?
Or is that such a thing was manipulated by her at all, otherwise how could she have loved Pei Jinxin so much for so many years, and even surpassed the second prince.
People who are emperors are suspicious, and Emperor Yongtai is naturally no exception, but in which direction he will be suspicious, and how Empress Pei will deal with it is not in the scope of Gu Xi's concern.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongtai immediately turned his head to look at Queen Pei beside him and said, "The queen was also there that day?"
Queen Pei's long nails pierced her palms, and she had to pretend to be ashamed on her face and said, "Yes, the concubine was indeed there at that time, but ......"
As she spoke, she whimpered and cried, as if she was heartbroken for not protecting her sister-in-law and niece.
Just as Emperor Yongtai knew her, she also knew very well that he was not easy to fool, and sometimes crying was much better than defending.
Gu Xi sneered in his heart, vicious woman, you think that you can fool the things of the year by crying in two voices, you are just pretending to cry now, and I won't be able to cry if you want to cry later!
Pei Tingyan was furious in her heart on the side, her sister has always boasted of being smart, but in fact, she is Gu Xi's opponent.
When Gu Xi treated you as a sister, you were a treasure, and when she treated you as an enemy, you were not even as good as grass mustard!
It's a pity that he is a dignified seven-foot man, but today he can only sit and watch his wife and sister fight like this, and he can't intervene at all.
I just hope that these two women don't get dizzy in their brains, and don't shake out everything that should be said and shouldn't be said in order to compete for a moment.
Of course, Gu Xi will not be dizzy, let alone compete with Pei Tingyu for any momentary anger.
What she wants is to get justice for her daughter, so that Pei Tingyu can suffer the consequences of her own suffering, and she can't say anything about her suffering.
Only a fool will hurt a thousand people and hurt herself eight hundred, she still has to save her life and watch her baby daughter get married and have children!
She said poignantly: "Your Majesty, at that time, Niangniang had just lost the little princess, and it was also the mud bodhisattva who could not protect herself, so she can't be blamed for this matter." ”
