Chapter 175: Xu Zigui's counterattack and Feng Jiuqing's request
Today, the queen finally got better, and met Feng Jiuqing in the Fengqi Palace, and was preparing a meal with the emperor Feng Jiuqing and Mo Ziyuan, but suddenly saw Jinxi coming in from outside with an anxious face
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Lord Yunjin knelt outside the hall and begged to see you. The slave looked at the county lord as if he had been wronged, and her eyes were swollen from crying."
When Mo Ziyuan heard Xu Zigui's eyes swollen from crying, his heart tightened, and the breath on his body became cold. Feng Jiuqing heard Xu Zigui crying, and almost jumped up from her seat to go out to see what happened to Xu Zigui, but in the end, for the sake of safety, she still held back.
Not only Mo Ziyuan and Feng Jiuqing were distressed, but even the queen was distressed, and hurriedly got up from her seat and asked: "Why are you still kneeling on the ground, why don't you go and bring people ......in" While saying, he frowned and looked at the emperor: "The emperor and the prince will greet His Royal Highness Jiu for dinner first, and the matter of returning to the children and concubines will be solved."
Who knew that the emperor shook his head and said: "It's okay, Yun Jin has always understood proportion, kneeling outside the palace and crying at this time must have been greatly wronged, let that child come in, I can also make decisions for that child."
When the queen and the crown prince heard that the emperor was willing to take care of Xu Zigui's affairs, they were all overjoyed, and the queen hurriedly asked Jinxi to invite people in, and looked at Feng Jiuqing suspiciously, and asked
"Your Majesty, Gui'er is a girl who has not yet left the cabinet...... said, his eyes swept Mo Ziyuan and Feng Jiuqing again, and the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.
The emperor looked at the two of them, hesitated for a while and said: "Yuan'er and Yunjin, that kid don't know how many times they have met, there is no need to avoid suspicion, His Royal Highness Feng Jiu is from Yingli, and there is no need to avoid the cumbersome rules of our Great Zhou."
When the emperor said this, the queen couldn't say anything more. also stopped mentioning topics that people avoided, and just waited quietly for Xu Zi to come in.
As a result, as soon as Xu Zigui came in, the queen stood up from the chair, and without waiting for Xu Zigui to salute everyone, she hugged Xu Zigui into her arms, and said distressedly
"Jinxi said that your eyes are swollen from crying, and this palace only thinks that Jinxi is exaggerating, look at you, how much you have been wronged. My eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying."
"Niangniang" Xu Zigui gently pushed the queen away. Kneeling on the ground all of a sudden, he first kowtowed to a few people and saluted, seeing that the emperor was also there. Zhu Qiang said with tears in his heart
"It just so happens that the emperor is also here today, and it saves the trouble of the mother" said, kowtowed to the emperor, and continued: "Your Majesty." Yun Jin begged the emperor to take back the title of the lord of Yunjin County, and it was good to win the hearts of the people."
"Presumptuous!" Hearing Xu Zigui say this, the emperor slapped the table angrily. shouted angrily: "It's child's play to ban the title!" Do you say that you will take it back? I just told the queen that you have always known how to measure things, but you don't want to be so confused! ”
"Your Majesty," the queen stood beside Xu Zigui while wiping her tears while defending Xu Zigui: "The emperor also knows that Gui'er, this kid has always known how to measure, something must have happened." Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to beg the emperor to take back her title in such a daze."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Zigui anxiously and said, "You kid, what grievances have you suffered." Let's talk to the emperor with this palace, this palace will definitely make decisions for you."
The emperor glanced at Xu Zigui deeply. Frowning: "What kind of grievance did you suffer to make you speak so unscrupulously, let's talk to me"
Xu Zigui looked up at the emperor, then at the queen, and the tears that had been contained fell again: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it has been rumored on the street that Yun Jin is bullying the weak and winning people's love, saying that Yun Jin is bullying people and snatching love with a knife, and he really can't afford the title given by the emperor......" said, paused and continued: "Yun Jin didn't take it to heart at first, and then such rumors became worse and worse, so Yun Jin sent someone to inquire about what Yun Jin did to cause such a big public opinion, but when I inquired, I found out that it turned out to be ...... It turned out ......"
"What was it? Who is so bold that even the dignified county lord dares to arrange it! ”
Although Mo Ziyuan's voice was steady and calm, and his feelings could not be heard from his tone, Xu Zigui could still see from the movements of his hand on the table that he was clenched into a fist, and Mo Ziyuan was also angry at this moment.
The emperor looked at Mo Ziyuan quietly, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Fu looked at Xu Zigui and said lightly: "Who is so bold?" ”
"It turned out that a few days ago, Yun Jin went to Tianxiangyuan to see the branch of the step, and wanted to buy it only to learn that it had been booked by Miss Cheng, Yun Jin couldn't, so he had to say a pity and give up, who knew that after two days there were such rumors, Yun Jin only thought that the shopkeeper of Tianxiangyuan was greedy for Miss Cheng's silver but did not want to give the goods to Miss Cheng, and the brother tied up the shopkeeper to ask only to know that the shopkeeper of the step shake Tianxiangyuan had been sent to Cheng Fu to ......"
"Miss Cheng? Which Cheng girl? ”
The queen frowned, things in Tianxiangyuan have always been very expensive, and those who can afford to buy things in Tianxiangyuan not only need silver, but also need power, both are indispensable, why doesn't she remember that there is a family surnamed Cheng in the powerful family in Shangjing?
Mo Ziyuan knew when he heard Tianxiangyuan that Xu Zigui was probably pretending to be here, and he didn't know who he was going to fix. Although he knew that Xu Zigui was crying like this, he was pretending to be wronged like this, but he was still very distressed to see Xu Zigui's two eyes swollen into walnuts - which one was so bold that his prospective daughter-in-law deliberately swollen his eyes in order to deal with her!
Zhu Mo Ziyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding in the middle, how can such a rumor come out?" ”
Well, if Xu Zigui knew that Mo Ziyuan had such thoughts, he would definitely not dislike Mo Ziyuan's unreasonableness. When he heard Mo Ziyuan's question, Xu Zigui knew that Mo Ziyuan knew that he was pretending, and he was giving himself a way so that he could go down, so he wiped his tears again and again, and continued
"It is the niece of Mrs. Wan Shangshu, who came to live with her mother at her aunt's house in Beijing a few days ago...... At first, Yun Jin only thought that there was any misunderstanding, and asked the shopkeeper of Tianxiangyuan to know that it turned out to be ......" As he spoke, Xu Zigui wiped his tears again, glanced at the queen aggrievedly, and continued
"It turned out that when Miss Cheng went to Tianxiangyuan to pick up the step shake, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Garden just said casually before taking out the step shake, 'A few days ago, the lord of Yunjin County also took a fancy to this step shake', who knew that after Miss Cheng heard this, she didn't even care about the step shake, turned around and left......"
"This palace is going to be confused by you," Before Xu Zigui finished speaking, the queen hurriedly interrupted and asked, "You said earlier that the shopkeeper of Tianxiangyuan sent that step to the Cheng Mansion." Just now I said that Miss Cheng is the niece of Mrs. Wanshangshu and lives in Wanfu, which is ...... It's not the shopkeeper of Tianxiangyuan, he should send someone to send things to Wanfu."
"Niangniang doesn't know," Xu Zigui's face showed a slight anger: "A few days ago, my eldest cousin had a miscarriage, and Yunjin's grandfather and uncle went to Wanfu to force them to drive Miss Cheng's mother and daughter out of Wanfu!" ”
"Sister Kite has a miscarriage?" The queen was shocked: "Why hasn't this palace heard of it?" Sister Kite's miscarriage is related to Cheng's mother and daughter? ”
Xu Zigui nodded and told Qin Siyuan about the process of having a miscarriage. Crying while talking: "...... It's not that Yunjin spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It's really Cheng's mother and daughter who are deliberately framing Yunjin"
"Presumptuous!" The queen shouted angrily: "It's just too deceitful! ”
"Oh my God, the most poisonous woman in Da Zhou has such a source" Feng Jiuqing also added to the chaos, and after speaking, she looked at Xu Zigui with ill intentions and said: "Even such a beautiful and lovely girl is really vicious."
Xu Zigui secretly twitched the corners of his mouth. Mo Ziyuan glanced at Feng Jiuqing coldly. Feng Jiuqing didn't dare to add any more chaos to the spirit, and sat on the bench and honestly waited for the emperor's verdict
The emperor directly slapped the table and shook out the tea in the cup on the table: "Yun Jin is the county lord of my own family, these people are really bold, slandering the county lord of the dynasty is simply a capital crime!" ”
Xu Zigui hurriedly kowtowed to intercede for Cheng's mother and daughter: "Your Majesty." Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Yun Jin has long looked down on these things in Zhengyuan Temple for so long. It's just that he came to the palace to cry for a while because he was really wronged today, and Yun Jin didn't want to put them to death...... The Emperor is gracious"
Xu Zigui's appearance seemed to be the strictness of the things he had just considered, and his acting skills were realistic, and Mo Ziyuan believed it when he looked at him realistically, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head and laugh. In his heart, he was thinking about how to avenge Xu Zigui.
The queen also thought that if it was really because Xu Zi returned to his life, it would not be good for Xu Zi's reputation in the future, so she personally changed a cup of tea for the emperor and comforted: "Gui'er is right. Such a thing can be big or small, if the emperor can trust his concubines. It's better to leave it to the concubine."
The emperor also reacted at this time, knowing that if Xu Zi's return to life would not be good for Xu Zi's reputation in the future, he would follow the steps given by the queen: "The queen naturally believed in it, so I will hand it over to the queen to handle it."
After speaking, he got up and nodded to the queen: "In this way, I will take the prince and His Royal Highness Fengjiu to the Heart Cultivation Palace for dinner."
The queen nodded, and after sending the emperor away with Xu Zigui, Xu Zigui saw that the queen's face was not very good, so he retired.
Sure enough, after Xu Zi returned, the queen then patted Mama Sun beside her and went to Cheng Mansion and Wanshang Mansion to invite people, and asked them to stand outside the Fengqi Palace and wait for half an hour before sending Jinxi out with the "Four Books of Women", and let Mrs. Wan and Aunt Cheng's mother and daughter kneel on the ground and listen to Jinxi finish reading the entire "Four Books of Women". And when the queen went out with "The Four Books of Women" in Jinxi, she said, "Read it slowly, let the three of them slowly understand"
Jinxi naturally understood what the queen meant, and the left and right was to let the three of them kneel for a while, and he held the "Four Books of Women" and paused one sentence at a time, and did not finish the whole book until it was dark.
The three of Mrs. Wan listened to Jinxi's lecture and didn't dare to move, they kept kneeling on the ground and even lost their legs. thought that Jinxi would be finished after reading "The Four Books of Women", but who knew that the queen added another sentence: "The Cheng family has a female name and a gorgeous dress, but I don't know how to understand, I am immoral and incompetent, and I can't afford to be a wife." He let them go back, but he didn't send anyone to send them out, and the maids who came with them didn't have the orders of their masters, so they also knelt until now, and now several people supported each other and moved out step by step, not to mention how painful it was
Cheng Huashang is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, but now she has been cut off by the queen's mother's words - who dares to marry a woman like Cheng Huashang who has been reprimanded by the queen like this? Although Cheng Huashang has never thought about being the wife of the main house, she has always wanted to be small for Wan Yanting, but now that the queen has said this, and because of Qin Siyuan's matter, it is impossible for her to marry Wan Yanting again. In this way, all her retreats were cut off.
Geng's relationship with his sister has been very good since he was a child, and now that he has suffered such insults, he has long hated Qin Siyuan in his heart, although it is very painful to move out step by step at this time, but he has already begun to think about how to torture Qin Siyuan after he goes back. And every time he took a step and every time his leg hurt, his heart became more determined to torture Qin Siyuan.
It's just that at this moment, the Geng family didn't know that the emperor had already reprimanded Wan Shangshu and Wan Yanting in the imperial study. It is not a joke to slander the lord of the dynasty, so the Geng clan is now only thinking about how to torture Qin Siyuan when he goes back, but he doesn't know what the result of Wanfu waiting for him is.
What happened after Geng's return to Wanfu is not to be said for the time being, and it is said that after the emperor left Fengqi Palace, he first ordered the prince to accompany Feng Jiuqing to dinner, and the emperor himself went to the imperial study to call Wanshangshu and his son into the palace to hint a few words, and after the father and son left the palace, Feng Jiuqing asked to see the emperor outside the imperial study
Hearing that Feng Jiuqing was still asking to see him outside the imperial study so late, he couldn't help frowning and looked at Li Shunde and asked, "Why did you come here so late?" Do you know what's going on? ”
Li Shunde shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, but His Royal Highness Feng Jiu said that he had something important to say to the emperor, and the slave came to pass it on."
Hearing that Feng Jiuqing had something important to see, the emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly-since Feng Chenqing was imprisoned in the palace, Feng Jiuqing had come to Da Zhou for so long, but he didn't even mention his brother, let alone intercede for his brother.
At this time, Feng Jiuqing said that there was an urgent matter to see, and it was difficult for the emperor not to think about it. He nodded expressionlessly, signaling Li Shunde to invite people in.
Who knew that after Feng Jiuqing came in and saluted the emperor, he learned the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty and knelt in front of the emperor at once: "Your Majesty, Feng Jiu fell in love with the Lord of Yunjin at first sight in the palace of the queen's mother, and hoped that the emperor would give the Lord of Yunjin County to Feng Jiu as a concubine."
"You fell in love with Lord Yunjin at first sight?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes, thinking that Xu Zigui is only twelve years old now, and his face has not grown much, but he can also vaguely see that he must be one of the best beauties in the capital in the future, and it is no wonder that one or two of them fell in love with this girl at first sight
Feng Jiuqing thought that the emperor was sure of his thoughts about Xu Zigui, and nodded his head like a chicken meter by meter: "Feng Jiu only knew that there would be such a beautiful and lovely woman in the world since he saw the Lord of Yunjin, and Feng Jiu has been thinking about the appearance of the Lord of Yunjin since he left the Fengqi Palace, so he came cheekily to ask the emperor for marriage."
Feng Jiuqing's words were a bit exaggerated, but the emperor heard Feng Jiuqing's determination to marry Xu Zigui.
The emperor was reluctant to marry Mo Leyuan before he summoned Ji Mingyue back, and in those days, he seemed to hear the queen mother say something casually, and Ji Mingyue seemed to have her mind on Mo Ziyuan...... If Xu Zigui is married to Yingli, Xu Zigui is Feng Jiuqing's personal request, and the emperor is very confident that with Xu Zigui's talent and appearance, Feng Jiuqing will be tied to death, and he can also ease the relationship between the two countries with his own efforts when the relationship between the two countries is tense in the future...... It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone
The emperor was about to nod, but he remembered that he heard that Xu Zigui had been wronged in Fengqi Palace today, although he looked very calm on his face, but in fact, Mo Ziyuan, whose hands had been clenched into fists, was a little hesitant
After hesitating for a long time, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind and said (to be continued)
