Chapter 117: The Imperial Palace

There were bursts of crying, the listeners were sad, the listeners wept, but Webster was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, as if he was dead.

With the crying of the Xiang family.

The two officials in charge of salvage suddenly felt a lightness in their hands, and involuntarily lifted up, and easily lifted the corpse out.

Hongchen took a step forward, shook off his clothes, and just covered the corpse's body, but turned his head sideways and didn't look.

The people of the Xiang family rushed forward in unison, howling and crying.

The surrounding officials glanced at it, and suddenly shivered all over their bodies - listening to that, and looking at the moss on the stone just now, this well has been sealed for at least more than a year, and the corpse is said to have been rotting for a long time.

But although the corpse was swollen a little, it could still see its facial features.

Just now, there was a pair of eyes of a servant, and he even felt that the corpse's eyes were rolling, and he was so excited that he almost ran away in fright.

The second elder of the Xiang family was not afraid at all, and the whole person threw himself on his wet daughter.

Hongchen beckoned.

The black shadow wrapped around Wei's body trembled, and Hongchen sighed, "Come on, meet your father and brother, go to the Netherworld as soon as possible, and be reincarnated." ”

Old Man Xiang was stunned for a moment and raised his head suddenly.

The surrounding officials desperately meditated - not strange, not strange!

They also knew that Hongchen was a spirit girl, and they still knew a little about her identity, so they were barely afraid when they encountered such a thing.

On an errand in the capital, you don't have to see any demons and monsters, and sometimes you are more unlucky to meet a murderer than to meet a ghost.

An errand officer who can serve as an errand in the yamen. In fact, they all have a bit of ability, although in many novels, they all belong to the characters who let those heroes kill in one move, but in this world, learning to become a martial artist, selling goods to the emperor's family, even if he is a servant, he is also eating in the official gate, such a small official, the noble identity is not eye-catching. For the common people. That's as big as the sky.

"Niu Niu, Niu Niu, are you there?"

A strong wind blew, and it was drizzling like silk, but suddenly it was thick with clouds. The wind is blowing. The way the rain is coming.

Master Xiang stiffened his neck. Refuses to bow their heads.

Hongchen walked over and whispered, "She's on your right." ”

Old Man Xiang smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand that should be well maintained, but it was already pale and thin. Accurately patted Miss Xiang's back.

"Niuniu, you child is disobedient, every time you get into trouble, you get tired of being coquettish by your father's side, you know it early, you know it is better to keep you for a lifetime!"

The old man's hot tears were so hot that some outsiders present couldn't help wiping their tears.

Now that this Miss Xiang's resentment has dissipated, it takes more effort to show her form, unlike when she is at home, she can do it with a single talisman.

Hongchen thought about it, gritted his teeth, took out a purple-red talisman from the Yujue space, lit it and waved it at the black shadow.

The next moment.

A dignified and elegant woman sat on her knees and rested her head on her father's shoulder.

"Hoo ......"

Several gasped and held their breath.

The old and young of the Xiang family collected their tears, and their faces showed three points of joy, and the little brother Xiang switched and said: "Sister, brother always bullies me, he hasn't come back, if you go home, I don't know how uncomfortable it will be to see you when I go home." ”

The young lady leaned down and nestled in his father's arms in a vain: "My daughter is not filial! ”

For such a long time, she could only haunt Wei and Ouyang Hao, worrying about her old father and younger brother, but she couldn't do anything......

Hateful turned her head and glared at Wei, Miss sneered: "Hmph, you are so vicious to other people's daughters, aren't you afraid of God?" God has eyes, everything you think you do, you can really hide it forever! ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned away.

Just listening to the resentment in this young lady's voice makes people shudder - I don't know how deep the two sins of the Ouyang family, mother and son, are.

Webster was already trembling with fright, and there was no trace of blood on his face, more like a dead person than the girl of the Xiang family.

I only listened to the young lady tell the public what she encountered in Ouyang's house, word by word, and everyone was furious when they heard it, and they couldn't believe it!

What kind of person is Ouyang Hao, the well-known weak scholars around, people are also kind, even if the family is not rich, there is nothing to say to the neighbors, after listening to their daughter-in-law at this time, everyone is a little unbelievable, if it is not the current saying that it is the soul of the dead, I am afraid that no one would have thought that he is gentle and elegant, only eight buckets high, and he is the most promising Ouyang Gongzi in the neighborhood, and he is a pervert who can torture his wife to death with his own hands!

Those who have daughters are even more uncomfortable.

There are several people who can't wait to go to see their daughters, and if they marry thousands of miles away, they will be even more worried.

Those daughters who haven't married yet can't help but tremble - their daughters are married, but they have to marry someone who knows the roots!

But look at the two Ouyang family, it's useless just to investigate, he is wearing a layer of fake skin outside, if this matter is not exposed, even the neighbors will say that he is a good person, if the young lady of the Xiang family is alive, I am afraid that it is to expose the truth, and no one can believe it.

Zhu Kuai sighed, and didn't dare to look at Miss Xiang, but said: "Please rest assured, our master will definitely find out the truth after taking the case, and give justice to the deceased." ”

Miss Xiang Ying bowed down.

Even if it's just a ghost, everyone is afraid of it, but this girl looks so delicate and beautiful, if someone else's family marries such a daughter-in-law, then she must be very happy, the dowry is rich, the father is a celebrity, although the eldest brother has not been examined, but he is also a good person, and the money earned is enough for the eight generations of a family to live comfortably.

Such a good woman, but she ended up where she is now!

For a while, many people shouted: "If you don't arrest Ouyang Hao, it's a brute." ”

"Beasts are inferior!"

Wei Shi didn't say a word, but when she heard her son mentioned, she suddenly struggled to sit up, and kowtowed desperately to the Xiang family: "It's all my fault, it's my idea, my son is just filial, listen to me, if you want to arrest me, my son is innocent, he is innocent." The Ouyang family is the only one of his seedlings......"

She seemed to grow old overnight, her skin wrinkled and her face dark.

Miss Xiang was unmoved, and sneered: "Your mother and son are not good things, don't think I don't know, you have tasted the benefits in me, and it is becoming more and more out of control, because I dislike Zhou Weiwei is from a businessman, and my son has been admitted to the Jinshi and has soared." I don't look down on people. Just didn't do it endlessly, poisoned her to death, hum, what else are you talking about. It's a good thing to die of chaff when you're famous. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"No wonder!"

A neighbor of the Ouyang family shuddered. "That daughter-in-law of theirs has a good temper. It's very well-behaved, and when I came, I looked very healthy, and I will see you in half a year after marrying. I've lost a lot of weight, and I'm sick, hey, now that I think about it, I don't know how much torture I suffered! ”

The crowd was excited, and a group of officials rushed into the door, dragging Ouyang Hao, who was sick and groggy, out of the door like dragging dead dogs.

Webster threw himself over and hugged his son, tearing and scratching, his voice hoarse: "Stop, stop, it's none of my son's business...... You, it's all you! ”

She turned her head, staring at Hongchen with cracked teeth, "You are a mourning star, it's all you, if it weren't for my son's liking of you......"

Hongchen sneered.

"Phew!"

The little young master of the Xiang family pounced on him and bit Wei's arm, screaming in pain.

The little young master slapped his head and face again.

The officials should not have seen it.

The little young master was so tired that he was out of breath, and was dragged away by his father, but the others also exploded at once, and shouted angrily: "If this young lady hadn't exposed your poisonous snake, I wouldn't have known how many daughters of other people's families would have been harmed!" ”

One of the surrounding onlookers spat at the mouth and threw a shoe upper, and some people picked up the stones and threw the soil hard, and after a while, Webster's head broke and bleed.

Hongchen swallowed a word back into his stomach, blinked, forgot what he wanted to say for a moment, shook his head, and said coldly: "You also said that your son is filial, I see that he has an extremely evil face, not a filial son, his habit of bullying the weak is probably not only on his wife, but even you, who are mothers, have not been beaten by him." ”

Everyone was shocked.

Assault on mother?

That's a great sin of unfilial piety!

Wei gritted his teeth and said nothing, twitching all over, but everyone immediately understood that what Miss Hongchen said was the truth.

The group is incredible!

Hongchen was even more furious in his heart: "You know what kind of beast your son is, and you dare to harm other people's good women, I think people like you should also be cut by a thousand knives!" ”

She took a deep breath, "Well, if you have such a son, even if your retribution has arrived." ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

The rest of the things are naturally handled by the government, and she will not stare at it from beginning to end, but just leave Ouyang's house and get in the car, and there is still a lot of discussion outside, and she can vaguely hear Webster's hissing and heart-splitting cry.

However, no matter how loud she cried, no one sympathized.

Within two days, Zhou Weiwei's father and mother also came to find her, and I heard that the two of them almost didn't use a knife to slaughter Wei and Ouyang Hao.

Especially Ouyang Hao, the flesh on his arm was bitten off in two pieces.

If the people of the yamen do not like them, they should not know it.

Hongchen personally did the ritual and sent Zhou Weiwei away, although her family was sad, but Zhou Weiwei has always been a obedient and contented person, as soon as she understood the cause of her death, she no longer had nostalgia for the world.

When it came to the young lady of the Xiang family, she was reluctant to let her father and mother, reluctant to give up her younger brother, and she hadn't seen her eldest brother yet, so she was full of unwillingness to leave.

Hongchen was also helpless, let her stay, it's okay for a short time, it's not a good thing for a long time, let's just say Ouyang Hao, his illness is not a sudden, but has been infected by yin qi for many years, and Hongchen has rushed down so it has an attack.

The girl of the Xiang family stayed with her parents, and the old man was weak and would not be long before he got sick.

Hongchen can only let this family choose by themselves.

"If you have to keep your daughter by your side, then she may be able to stay for a few years, after a few years, I am afraid that she will be delirious and become a ghost, and then she will have a master of the Tao to surpass her, but the old man Xiang will not be sad, so he has enjoyed the joy of family for a few years, and I am afraid that he will be on Huangquan Road as early as possible, and he will wait for the father and daughter members at that time."

Old Man Xiang still has to speak.

The young lady of the Xiang family has already knelt down and kowtowed to beg for excess.

Since we met, we have fate.

Hongchen thought about it, then took out a book from his arms, took a wisp of green silk from Miss Xiang's family, and said for a while: "Miss Xiang has no great merit in her life. Although it is a vain death, it has already turned into a bad spirit, and the next time he is reincarnated, he can still be an adult, but if nothing else, he is just an ordinary family, and he is not as filial to his father and son now, and he is happy. ”

Shaking her head, she took the young lady's green silk again and wrapped it around the fingers of the young master of the Xiang family. Silently recited: "This life is shallow. The love is long, and I hope that the next life will still be married. ”

As he spoke, the green silk was entangled, and a butterfly pattern was entangled.

The Xiang family watched with amazement. Hongchen said softly: "I don't know if I can do it." Xiang Gongzi got married as soon as possible. Maybe your sister will be reincarnated as your daughter, or maybe it's a niece or something. If she can still enter the family in the future, there must be a small butterfly birthmark on her body, you should pay attention. ”

The old man was overjoyed.

Miss Xiang's pale face also showed a bit of joy.

The matter is finally over, in fact, it still takes some effort, Hongchen doesn't mind, it's rare to have the opportunity to try his newly learned spell to see how much success rate there is.

It rained for a few days.

Fortunately, on the day of the Hongchen canonization ceremony, the rain stopped and the sun was shining.

The canonization ceremony of the county lord was not complicated, Hongchen put on the court clothes, greeted the envoy and deputy envoy, and received the treasure book.

But it didn't come to pass, and it was the old lady Yu.

The deputy envoy is that Yang Shi.

I don't know what the Lord of Long Live thinks, the canonized county lord actually worked the two of them, but the specifications are not low, but they are a little special.

enshrined the treasure book, and when it was so solemn, it was difficult for Hongchen to say a few words to Mrs. Yu, but Mrs. Tai was very happy, even if she was old and was pulled back to work, she didn't show boredom.

As soon as the etiquette was over, Master Yang and the others did not go back to resume their lives for the time being.

"It is said that the mansion should be prepared for the county lord first, but His Majesty sent a message and asked the Ministry of Industry to pick a few good ones, let you choose by yourself, and the inner mansion did not overstep the bounds."

In fact, His Majesty is in a hurry, and he must first let Hongchen set his name, and the Inner Government, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry are in a mess, so it is inevitable that there will be some small unconventional etiquette.

It's just that no one will be more true than this.

Hongchen smiled: "The Ministry of Engineering sent all the drawings back early in the morning, saying that it was not in a hurry, when it was ready, and then I would go to the inner house to select some useful people." ”

Only then did Yang Shi feel relieved, and after a few more gossips, he went back to resume his life.

Later, Luo Niang and the others looked at Hongchen's court clothes, and only felt that they were like heavens and people in the sun, and took a deep breath: "...... Miss, this is actually the county lord? ”

It's hot!

As soon as Hongchen returned to the courtyard, he first removed the crown, loose and loose, and did not dare to take off the court clothes, and immediately entered the palace to thank the emperor and empress.

According to the rules of the past, I am afraid that I will have to get together with the rest of the royal family.

As soon as she thought about this, she couldn't help laughing, she racked her brains to pull the relationship, and she wanted to blend in with this top circle of ladies, but she didn't think that she would do anything in this life, so she became the county lord by herself.

This providence is really unpredictable.

Hongchen rode into the palace in the county lord's chariot according to the rules, went to worship the emperor, and then went to worship the queen.

In her last life, she only entered the palace gate during the year-end banquet, but she had the impression that it was already after King Li ascended the throne, and that person was very generous to his concubines, and his generous means was to take out the useless jewelry ornaments in the treasury for the concubines, and the palace decoration was shining.

At present, the emperor is very different, the whole palace is simple and atmospheric, the details are meticulously crafted, there are not many gold and silver ornaments, but really carefully study, I am afraid it will cost a lot, no wonder the eunuchs of the palace can earn a group of wives and concubines within three years, and the emperor's silver is still the best to earn.

Hongchen smiled unconsciously, thinking that His Majesty couldn't save, but he was poor and particular about it in such a place, and it was obvious that saving was also empty.

The Queen's Ganquan Palace has been newly renovated, and the layout is brighter than the gloomy atmosphere elsewhere, and the windows are made of fine yarn, which is transparent inside and out.

The little eunuch followed Hongchen diligently, and said softly: "The county lord is careful to step down. ”

But in a moment, the gate of Ganquan Palace was opened, and the eldest aunt came out to greet her in person, holding Hongchen's hand and entering.

In the row of little eunuchs in the back, the little palace maid was dumbfounded.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Queen Mother hadn't seen anyone in years! ”

"This is the new master, and I will remember it in the future, if I accidentally offend one day, I will have your good fruit to eat."

The little eunuch snorted coldly.

Hongchen had already seen the queen at this time.

At first glance, it is different from what I imagined. I always heard outside that the queen had fallen out of favor for many years, and she didn't see outsiders, and the woman wanted to ask for a meeting, but she rarely got permission, even her own family, she didn't want to see her, in this case, she must be a gloomy woman.

Hongchen couldn't be clearer that once a woman in the world loses the favor of a man, she will age in almost a short time.

See you today. She suddenly felt that the emperor deserved to be the emperor. It's really powerful enough, with such a peerless beauty poked in the palace, she can be snubbed.

Although the empress was younger than the emperor, she was nearly fifty years old. At this time, she was already past the age of being a grandmother. It is possible that even four generations are in the same house. But now that I look at it, she is still young, although there are fine lines at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. But it's not ugly, but mature, that kind of mature femininity, mixed with the temperament and demeanor of a girl, lively and quiet, which makes people forget the vulgar.

Hongchen exhaled, and she suddenly felt extremely honored-it turned out that some people said that she was like a queen, and she didn't take it very seriously, and from now on, she should listen to this sentence as the highest praise.

"Poof."

The eldest aunt laughed.

The queen is also in vain.

Even though Hongchen didn't say what was in his heart, it was rare that he didn't hide the expression on his face, so much so that everyone in the room laughed.

The queen is also cheerful, half unrestrained, and said with a smile: "I know that your crown is also heavy, and the court clothes are also heavy, I'm afraid that I want to go home and rest, crooked, come, let Su Niang pinch you, how can I go to see your brothers and sisters later, don't rub it until the evening, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home." ”

As he spoke, he asked someone to take a snack.

Su Niang really walked over, and without waiting for Hongchen to refuse, she held her shoulder and rubbed it gently, and as soon as she got started, she saw the foundation, only two times, and Hongchen suddenly felt that the weight on her body was three catties lighter.

The queen didn't say anything, not even a word about the Xia family, and didn't mention a word about Princess Chen Wan, but the feelings revealed between her eyebrows were like water, extremely gentle, Hongchen lowered her head, and her heart was slightly sour.

It's just a little bit.

Maybe because she is the queen and a real blood relative, as long as there is a little kindness, it makes people feel very nostalgic.

After a while, someone from outside came to report, saying that the little county lords and the little county kings had arrived, so she asked Su Niang to send Hongchen out.

"Don't worry, those who are more elite won't tire you."

As for the fool who is not a human spirit, he will not put it in the eyes of Hongchen if he thinks about it.

A group of small masters who are also very dignified in the palace have occupied the Taibai Pavilion by the Taiye Pool.

As soon as Hongchen came, the group of people was very enthusiastic and welcomed her to her seat.

"Come, come, today is a good day for the lord of Rong'an, and he should be respected!"

As soon as the lord of Ronghua saw Hongchen, he said loudly, pulled her sleeve, pulled her to sit down, and showed that he was very close.

"But, old rules, you have to give a meeting gift!"

Hongchen smiled, was as kind as a stream, clapped his hands, and Su Niang brought the palace maids over and distributed gifts one by one.

She obviously hasn't seen anyone before, but no one has admitted her mistake, you know, although she can be so face-saving, a serious and titled county lord, although there are not many, but there are more than ten people, and the relationship is still very complicated, she is so casual, very inappropriate to admit all the people, for a while to everyone's surprise, a little contempt in my heart, but also slightly restrained.

Although the county lord of Rong'an has been in the limelight recently, everyone is a serious prince's mansion, the daughter from the Hou Mansion, where did she come from, and when she entered Beijing, she was crowned the county lord, and she was really as many as grains of sand?

Naturally, I am angry!

It is true that in this good day, everyone is a smart person, and they will not embarrass her, and if they lose the face of the Long Live Lord, they will inevitably have a darker mind and wait for her to make a fool of themselves.

Not to mention anything else, just walking, sitting and lying, as well as the rules of eating in the palace, it is very particular, any woman outside who comes to the banquet, prepares three or two months in advance, and shows timidity when she comes in, just her?

People are stunned that it is simple, and there is nothing wrong with half a step, if it is full of ingenuity, it is just the result of the assault at a glance, but it is natural, and the posture is much more comfortable than them.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the banquet was different.

Su Niang was also a little surprised, she came with her, and there was more or less the meaning of the county lord supporting the scene, with her there, it represented the queen's attitude, so that these little masters would not make too much trouble, so that people could not get off the stage.

Originally, the atmosphere was harmonious, and after a few gossips, the girls who were sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly stood up, walked to Hongchen's side, and asked, "I heard that you are a spirit girl?" Maybe a blessing dance? Or will it tell? Show one for me to see. ”

These words brought out a hint of frivolity.

There was a sudden silence.

Hongchen blinked, remembering that this person was also a county lord, and after being a hero, he became a county lord from his mother's womb, with a foreign surname and a surname Qian, although he did not have a title, he was still very valued by the emperor, after all, it was a faΓ§ade project.

Su Niang frowned.

Hongchen smiled all of a sudden, smiled and picked up a piece of dim sum to eat, without saying a word.

The little girl glared: "What? Don't you want to give me this face? ”

"No." Hongchen glanced at her, "Your Majesty is here, and I am also willing to make divination, so I will give him the old man's fortune, and I am willing to dance the blessing dance, so I will dance, and I am not interested in this today." (To be continued.) )
