Huo Yuan, who was standing in the column of military generals, glanced at the small-eyed imperial doctor, and said to the emperor Zhu Yi of His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the minister is helpless, I believe that many people know that the grandmother of the minister's family was deceived into ordering a daughter who lost her virginity, and the minister is afraid that he will wear this green hat late when he knows, and all the people sitting here are men, who wants to wear this green hat?" ”

His eyes flashed over, and some of the old men coughed solemnly, thinking that the young man really dared to say it, but the young man secretly supported the response, cuckold is the biggest insult to a man, as long as it is bloody, a man will not tolerate it.

Zhu Yi didn't say anything, but he still agreed with Huo Yuan's words on his face, and this reaction would only be more intense for the generals.

Huo Yuan glanced at Viscount Zhou, who had an ugly expression on his face, hmph, if he didn't cover up his ugly things, he still wanted to take them out and embarrass the world, so don't expect him to help him cover them up, so he said seriously: "Shengshang Mingjian, it's not that the minister wants to bring such private matters to the court, but someone doesn't know what to do, and he wears the big hat of using the public for personal gain." As a military general, the minister did not dare to say that he had made great achievements in war, at least he had sweated and shed blood for the country, and after suffering such a great shame, the brothers helped to find the party concerned to confront him, which was just out of the righteousness of the brothers, and it was not an order on official affairs. "Bow again, "The Holy Lord handed over the Imperial Forest Army to the ministers to practice, and the ministers must mingle with them, otherwise the real ministers can't convince the people, how can they lead this team?" If you can't bring them well, how can you protect the safety of the capital? They did this just to vent their anger for their ministers, and besides, they did not disturb the people from beginning to end, and it was just the righteousness of a few brothers. ”

After speaking, he immediately knelt in front of the temple.

The Imperial Doctor suddenly broke into a cold sweat, he thought that Huo Yuan, a general, must be a big boss, so he would obey the instructions of Viscount Zhou, but now looking back, this person has just made great achievements in Ruyang City, and he has won the favor of the saint, otherwise how would he hand over the Imperial Forest Army to his training? I really kicked the iron plate this time, and I couldn't help but look at Viscount Zhou, who was a shrunken turtle, with hatred.

Ye Xuyao didn't make a sound from beginning to end, Huo Yuan could handle these things by himself, not to mention that he also received the wind in advance? If he can't even settle this, in his opinion, Huo Yuan still doesn't want to gain a foothold in the court, so let's return to his hometown as soon as possible.

"Huo Qing's family is a minister of humerus to me, this matter is not a big deal, and it is impossible for me to see a meritorious minister being practiced like this, that is also despising me as the emperor, there is no need to make a big fuss about this matter, Huo Qing's family should get up." Zhu Yi's expression was stern.

Huo Yuan, as the temporary commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is very normal to be able to subdue some people, and he is still very enlightened as an emperor, but this also reminds him to look for a new commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Looking at the sweaty Doctor Yu Shi, he said: "Don't make a big fuss about catching a little bit of everything, I don't want you to have a next time, go back." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to pursue it." Doctor Yu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to the original column.

Zhu Yi glanced at the ministers, the emperor's majesty was so powerful that a group of courtiers were a little trembling.

After retiring from the dynasty, Huo Yuan and Ye Xuyao withdrew from the hall together.

Seeing Viscount Zhou walking out with a black face, Ye Xuyao said: "It seems that he is in a dead fight with you." ”

"I'm not afraid of him." Huo Yuan looked coldly at the unpleasant back.

"The Zhou family has been the viscount for a hundred years, and there are no amazing and brilliant characters in this generation, so Viscount Zhou alone can barely support it, and there are not many brothers who can help, it seems that the fall of the Zhou family is an inevitable end." Ye Xuyao also said with a cold face.

When his wife mentioned the Zhou family, she must have gritted her teeth, thinking about it, she still remembered Zhou Lou's words for slandering Lin Qi that day, the battle between the court and the court has always been like this, since you can't be friends, you can only use all means to destroy the opponent, unless he is really clean as a lotus, or he will be able to dig out a few pieces of sludge.

In comparison, the situation of the Ye family in the major families is quite good, at least most of the sons of the old marquis Ye are mixed well, although the official is not the best, but he can be regarded as having a foothold in the court, not to mention the grandson who inherited the title, he is in a high position at such a young age, and the future is very bright.

Huo Yuan understood the meaning of Ye Xuyao's words as soon as he heard it, and his eyes lit up, "If you have any good plans, you can say it, let's discuss one or two, I have long been displeased with this person, but I used to think that it was still my grandmother's maiden family in the end, and it was the so-called not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, but now I don't have this concern." After a pause, "My cousin's wife, that is, Zhou Lou's maiden family, was also defeated a few years ago, and the Lou family didn't even have the qualifications to stay in the capital, and they had already returned to their hometowns with their clans, and if they wanted to revive their family, they would only need the efforts of one or two generations." ”

In other words, the Zhou family does not have much help, and according to a family like the Zhou family, it is difficult for their daughter to marry a concubine who is a real wealthy family to inherit the family business, which accelerates the process of decay even more, otherwise how would he raise a daughter like Zhou Zhiqing who corrupts the door?

Often such things happen, not only because of the grandmother's lack of strict discipline in governing the family, but also because there must be deeper reasons, which is why the Zhou family cannot become the first choice for marriages of other major families.

Ye Xuyao wants to deal with the Zhou family, and he will inevitably find out about his family's affairs, in fact, he is also a person who protects his shortcomings, because of his love for Wu and Wu, so he will never let go of the person who makes his mother unhappy.

The two looked at each other tacitly, before looking away.

"Today's trouble, I'm afraid that you, the acting commander of the Royal Forest Army, are about to come to an end." Ye Xuyao said.

Huo Yuan's face was full of indifference, "This position is a hot potato, I have wanted to get rid of it for a long time, and now that I am making such a fuss, it is exactly what I want to take back from the saint." ”

He had no intention of taking this position, and compared to it, it was better to return to the border guard.

Ye Xuyao rarely hooked his lips and smiled, he had already said that Huo Yuan was not likable, and he had always been an unprofitable person.

It was difficult for Lin Qi to go to inspect the Jade Skin Fang, check the account books, and the recent profit was more than the same period last year, and his heart was also beautiful, and Wang Zhou's newly opened branch was also operating normally, and the dividends at the end of the year should be very considerable.

Close the account book and explain a few words to the shopkeeper, she was about to put on the curtain and prepare to leave and return home, after all, Ming'er Huo's family is about to come to propose, she still has to go back to prepare, this is a major event in her life, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't expect it.

At this time, an old woman came in, with a well-dressed grandmother who was carefully looking at the goods of the Jade Skin Shop, Lin Qi saw that the other clerks were busy and couldn't greet the old woman, so he had to put down the curtain, stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is the latest skin cream produced by our Jade Skin Shop, which can remove yellow gas and spots on the face, the old lady is interested, why not buy a bottle to try?" ”

When the old woman heard the voice, she turned her head to look at Lin Qi, she was a little surprised at first, and then she looked up and down without a trace, especially at her waist and hips carefully, and after looking at her for a long time, a smile appeared on her face, and she seemed to be extremely satisfied.

Lin Qi's scalp was numb when she saw it, what did this old woman mean by looking at her like this?

The old woman took it when she saw it, and hurriedly took the bottle of skin ointment and said, "Can I really get rid of the spots on my face when I use it?" ”

"You can't get rid of it all, but it's still very effective." Lin Qi said with a smile, and then looked at the old woman's face carefully, even if she was old, the skin on the old woman's face was still very smooth, and it could be seen that she was extremely well-maintained on weekdays, and she must be a pampered person, otherwise where could she maintain such good skin? "I have several products here that can be used together to see more results, the old lady's skin is excellent, there is no need to make a special skin cream......"

She led the old woman around the store, then picked up the skin ointment suitable for the old woman's use and introduced them one by one, and in a short time, the grandmother behind the old woman already had several boxes of products from the Jade Skin Workshop in her hands.

The old woman just listened to Lin Qi's introduction with a smile, but her eyes were not on the skin cream in Lin Qi's hand, but on her face.

It's just that she did it a little secretively, so she didn't let Lin Qi find out, so after taking a turn in the store, she simply bought all the products introduced by Lin Qi, spending a total of nearly 1,000 taels of silver.

Lin Qi is used to seeing the generous spending of guests in the Jade Skin Workshop, but it is really not uncommon to see the old woman in front of her who is as generous, so seeing her make a good move, her heart is also very happy, this order can at least net five or six hundred taels of silver, so it is very profitable to say that the rouge gouache is done.

The old woman left the Jade Skin Workshop very satisfied, and Lin Qi even sent her into the carriage before returning, after all, it was an old man, so her attitude was very good, and she also reached out to help the old woman get into the carriage.

The old woman sat firmly in the carriage, saw Lin Qi standing aside to see her off, nodded with a smile on her face, and motioned for her to hurry into the store when it was cold.

Waiting for the carriage to depart, Lin Qi returned to the store.

At this time, the old woman ordered someone to pull down the curtains of the car, looked at the skin cream in her hand, and looked thoughtfully.

"Old princess, it's really good for the old slave to look at this girl, the fly in the ointment is to show up in this store, and it is inevitable that there will be gains and losses."

"Her family is in the middle of the road, and it is rare to be like this. Although there is an eldest sister who married into the Hou Mansion of Xiangyang, this mother's family is not always dependent on the Hou Mansion for relief, and self-reliance is more important, which is quite rare in this regard. Moreover, this shop is a women's business, and the number of foreign men she can see is limited, so she doesn't need to be too harsh. ”

The grandmother who spoke before saw that her master was very satisfied with Lin Qi, so she stopped picking thorns.

The old princess of Duanwangfu sighed again and said: "My granddaughter-in-law is a little dull, and it is inevitable that she will be rigid in handling things, this second girl of the Lin family has entered the door, and her lively temperament has become complementary to her, and it may be beneficial to our Duanwangfu." ”

At this point, she really recognized her grandson's vision, and this time it was not nonsense. What impressed Lin Qi the most was her hearty smile and clean eyes, which were much stronger than a woman in her grandson's backyard, and she was also happy to have her great-grandson born by Lin Qi.

"So, is the old princess really going to fulfill the prince?" The grandmother on the side smiled.

"I'm just such a grandson, who else can he fulfill if he doesn't fulfill it?" The old princess also smiled easily, "Ming'er, I will go to the palace to ask for this will, and it can be regarded as a matter of my heart." ”

Lin Qi, who had just gotten into the carriage and was about to return home, couldn't help but chirp, and Xiyu on the side hurriedly said when he saw this: "Girl, what's wrong?" But infected with wind and cold? ”

Lin Qi rubbed his itchy nose with his hand, "It's okay, it's just a little itchy, it's okay." ”

She thought that it would be Huo Yuan who was thinking about her, and when she thought about it, a few blushes floated on her face, and she really couldn't understand the mood of being married before it was her turn.

When the Huo family came to propose, Lin Lu's family paid more attention than anyone else, and they swept the courtyard early, and even hung up the red lanterns, and the whole mansion suddenly looked a lot more festive.

Lin Long was pregnant and it was not good to attend this occasion, so he went back to his parents' house the day before and told Lin Lu a few words, and he was very sorry in his heart. However, for the sake of her sister and the fetus in her womb, she could only endure it, but she still sent Ruyan back to watch the ceremony, and went back to learn from her.

Ye Zhong was afraid that she couldn't help but go back to her parents' house, so he invited her to sit down next to her early in the morning, in her eyes, it was naturally the daughter-in-law's belly that the grandson was more important.

"You don't have to worry so much, I see that your second mother is also a capable person, and she will definitely handle things properly." Ye Zhong's said.

"That's right, in fact, it's not that Erniang is worried about it, she has always treated our sister and brother very well, but when it comes to my only sister, how can I not be very worried?" Lin Long hugged his eldest son and said.

Ye Zhongshi had to persuade a few more words, and even Ye Manzi on the side laughed at Lin Long a few words, and Lin Long had no choice but to drink the sweet soup calmly.

This time, in addition to the iceman, there were naturally Huo Yan and Huo Yuan, Quan Meihuan felt embarrassed, and proposed marriage for his biological daughter on behalf of his stepson, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel right, so he didn't show up.

Lin Lu and Lin Dong greeted them early in the morning.

Lin Dong is young but old and steady, even if he and Huo Yan don't like each other, they still receive him very politely, originally this occasion should be the most ideal for the elders of the Lin family to preside, but the only third uncle in Beijing Lin Chuang and the Lin family sisters and brothers have a bad relationship, and the other elders are far away in Suzhou, and if they want to call them, they can't save the fire, so in the end, only Lin Dong, the only man, saves the scene.

The iceman looked at the half-grown teenager and also felt that the Lin family was thin, but what should be said still had to be said.

Fortunately, Ye Xuyao, the eldest son-in-law of the Lin family, appeared later, and the scene on the Lin family's side was better.

Lin Qi hid behind the screen and watched for a long time, her cheeks were red for a long time, compared with the last proposal, this time she really felt that she was about to get married.

Especially Huo Yuan, who was sitting upright, consciously looked at the screen, and as soon as the eyes of the two met in the air, Lin Qi's face was so red that it seemed to burn.

Huo Yuan couldn't hide the smile on his face, after waiting for so long and finally getting what he wanted, this good mood can be imagined.

At the same time, the old princess of Duanwangfu also entered the palace to meet the queen mother.

Since the Queen Mother has nightmares every night, her face has become worse and worse, and she has lost her concentration, and she looks a lot older than before.

Not only that, but her suspicions became heavier and heavier, and she found that her nightmare was a little strange, as if she was secretly harmed, after all, she had done such evil things, so she would naturally think deeply.

So she thought that there should be ghosts around her, so she turned the dormitory upside down, and found a few drugs that would make people hallucinate, this time she was terrible, she suspected the palace attendants of the entire palace, and everyone was arrested and interrogated, whether it was a confidant or not, she couldn't believe anyone at the moment.

This time the number of wrongful cases doubled, in order to get rid of the crime, everyone bit each other, and the queen mother couldn't tell who was a good person and who was a bad person for a while, so in order to get rid of it once and for all, she punished this cadre and others heavily, and sent them away, in order to prevent Su Ziyu from interfering in her bedroom, she personally selected a group of palace attendants.

I thought I wouldn't have nightmares this time, but I still dreamed of the past as soon as I fell asleep, especially the people she killed turned into ghosts and asked her for her life, not to mention sleeping all night, it was difficult to even close your eyes and take a nap.

She began to toss a group of palace attendants again, sending them away, disposing of them, so that the harem was not peaceful for a while, everyone was in danger, and even the concubines who wanted to curry favor with the Queen Mother and pretend to be filial in the hope of meeting the emperor on the throne were far away, who knows if the Queen Mother's next person to be severely punished will be herself? After all, everyone is very willing to die.

Under such suspicion, the Queen Mother's condition did not improve, but took a sharp turn for the worse, and emaciation was the first and most obvious feature.

The old princess of Duanwangfu was also taken aback when she saw it, "Niangniang, who are you?" ”

The Queen Mother lifted her weak eyelashes, glanced at her and lowered them again, "The mourning family is estimated to have fallen into someone else's scheme, but it's a pity that this person is hiding too deeply, and the mourning family hasn't been found out to deal with it." In fact, she didn't suspect Su Ziyu, after all, the person in the palace who wanted her life the most was Su Ziyu, but she didn't get the slightest evidence, so she couldn't help her. Even if she slandered Su Ziyu in front of her son, she didn't get half a point good, and her son also said that she was suspicious, and her condition would never get better if she continued like this.

The old princess said: "This harem has never been peaceful, so you have to take care." "Personally bring up the tea bowl and feed the Queen Mother tea.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and waved her hand, "I can't die yet, she wants to be satisfied, but I am not as good as she wants." ”

Who is she referring to, the old princess can guess one or two, but it is not easy to say the name of this person, so as not to cause trouble from her mouth.

She comforted the Queen Mother for a long time, and then carefully mentioned, "The courtiers want to trouble the mother for something?" ”

"Oh? What's the matter? The Queen Mother looked at the old princess listlessly, but she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy.

The old princess pondered carefully in her heart for a while, and then said: "It's not for my unworthy grandson, Niangniang also knows that he is close to the age of standing and his knees are still empty, and this reputation is not very good, so I have no choice but to give up my old face and ask Niangniang to give me a marriage decree." ”

It is clear that if you go to propose marriage, you will be blasted out by the woman's family.

The Queen Mother knew about the evil deeds of Duan Wangye, and she had always disliked such a royal child, but the old princess had a good relationship with her, so she had no choice but to ask: "Which daughter is it?" ”

"The Lin family's is the sister of Mrs. Xiangyang Hou." The old princess smiled and said.

"Who?" The Queen Mother sat up straight suddenly, and her expression suddenly became violent, changing her appearance from the old dragon clock.
