No. 123 The sorrowful old man Liu
On the bustling streets of the capital, there are bursts of shouting and bargaining, and the people are simple.
Liu Fangshen has been very unlucky recently, not only has he received suppression from above on the official road, but even the Liufu industry that is spread all over the edge of the capital, and the traffic of shops has been greatly lost.
What made him most depressed was that yesterday he learned the news from Brother Xu that Liu Ruyue was not only living like a moon in the palace, and was favored by the emperor and the queen mother, but also pregnant for more than five months!
The news was unbelievable to him, like a nightmare. At this time, the news of Xinna's concubine's pregnancy came in recent months.
Pregnant! Liu Fangshen swore that he would never hear these words again in his life, it was a rhythm of death. It's almost not your own life, and you don't care what the small ones do.
After drinking for a while, he returned to Liufu at nightfall. But I saw that the house was full of joy and lights. Looking at the joyful smile on the old lady's face, she couldn't breathe in her heart, so she had no choice but to rest in the calligraphy on the spot.
Due to last night's cold face, it was early in the morning, and the old lady stared at Liu Fangshen in the house with the step-lady and the aunts in the backyard, which was comparable to a three-hall trial.
"Sir, what's wrong with you. Now that the sixth aunt is pregnant, and the news of the peace war between the two countries has been issued, Liufu has finally survived the crisis, and double happiness is coming. ”
"That's it, sir. The house is about to be happy, don't worry about your face all day. ”
"Master, wait a few months for Sister Rui'er to also enter the palace, and you can also help some Liufu, which is another great thing."
The aunts started to say one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right. The old lady on the throne saw that Liu Fangshen's face was getting darker and darker, and she didn't bother to lower her face.
"Alright. You are also quiet, you are all big people, and you learn to be like a little girl all day long. ”
When the aunts heard this, they hurriedly shut up. The old lady is the number one in charge of the backyard, and whoever dares to offend, even the step-lady has to whisper to flatter.
There was no sound in the room in an instant, and the old lady was very satisfied, and this feeling of holding real power was fluttering.
"Aunt Six, don't you all tell me to go down and arrive on time this morning."
Mrs. Steproom brushed her long sleeves and took a sip of tea: "The old lady is angry, the sixth aunt is happy for the first time, after all, she is still young and doesn't understand the rules." ”
"Humph! I think she has no fear, let alone give birth to a little master in the future, and there is no shortage of this child in Liufu. ”
The step-lady was steady, with a false smile on her face: "Old lady, don't order people to go down and urge some." ”
"Well, command the next side. From today on, there is no need to pass on the sixth aunt to all matters in the house. Let her give birth in the yard and raise the baby, and she must not walk around at will. ”
The old lady is nothing more than grounding the sixth aunt like this. As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the aunts flashed with joy. The sixth aunt is Xinna's concubine, young and beautiful, and she acts arrogantly on weekdays, and they can't see it for a long time.
"Fang Shen, what are you calling everyone here for today?"
Liu Fangshen, who was worried about things, frowned, nodded at the old lady, and then waved his hand to the subordinates standing guard everywhere.
"You all stand down and stand guard outside the door, and when the sixth aunt comes, do as the old lady instructs."
"Yes, sir."
All the subordinates retreated in an orderly manner, and they did not forget their kindness to close the door of the paper paste. The aunts, the old lady, the stepwife, etc., were secretly shocked and full of doubts about Liu Fangshen in an instant.
Liu Fangshen scanned everyone with a calm face.
"I heard a piece of news from outside. This matter should only be known to the old lady and her wife, but because the incident is too big, the slightest carelessness in the future will cause huge damage to the Liu Mansion. Therefore, you also have the right to know. ”
The you're referring to are, of course, these aunts. The aunts who were mentioned were even more curious and uneasy about what Liu Fangshen was going to say next.
"Long story short. Liufu did not survive the crisis, but really fell into a huge crisis. The second lady of Liufu entered the palace and became a concubine, and now she is not only favored by the emperor and the queen mother, but in just three years, she is often promoted to the fourth grade Ronghua, and she is also pregnant with a dragon heir. This is a great fortune for the country, but it is also a disaster for Liufu. ”
"It can't be! A few months ago, Qing Liguo posted that he was this slut, and now that he is fighting, how can the emperor favor her. ”
"Yes, sir. I heard that the Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time and ignores trivial matters. This cheap hoof is not as good as Sister Xue'er and Sister Fang'er, how can she get into the eyes of the Queen Mother. ”
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked, but she was more panicked. She would rather believe that Liu Fangshen was deceived and lost face. I don't want to believe that this is the case.
"What are you arguing about one or two!" Liu Fangshen yelled impatiently: "You just have to listen quietly. The reason why Liufu was suppressed was that I also ordered someone to inquire yesterday. The source of all this is that the Queen Mother is helping Liu Ronghua in the dark. From now on, your mouths will be tighter, and you will be the master of real power in the harem. But don't let the trouble come out of your mouth, and it will affect the Liu Mansion. ”
"......"
"Except for the old lady and the lady, you all step down."
The aunts looked at each other, and reluctantly withdrew from the house. When the step-lady saw that she was quiet, a worried look on her face that could no longer be stopped.
"Master, your news is really reliable. If this is the case, what should Liufu do? A few months later, Rui'er draft ......"
"There is only one way to do it now, that is, you and your mother will enter the palace to visit Liu Ronghua together. The palace stipulates that if a concubine is pregnant, her family members will have the opportunity to enter the palace to see her. ”
The old lady's face suddenly changed: "What! Now, do you want your mother to kneel in front of her and beg in a low voice. ”
"Mother, that's not what I mean." Liu Fangshen sighed: "Liu Ronghua has been kind-hearted since she was a child, if she is really willing to see you, it means that there is still Liufu in her heart, and she will never continue to embarrass Liufu for this." ”
"Master, it's not that you forgot. Now the reason why Liufu is like this is all thanks to her. ”
"Even so, what can be. Fortunately, the rumors released a while ago have not been confirmed, so you can coax a few words in front of her. The future of Liufu and the future of Sister Rui'er can only depend on you. ”
When the stepwife heard that she wanted to see the damn Liu Ruyue, she had to lower her voice, and she was reluctant to do so from the bottom of her heart.
"Master, now she has just been promoted, and she is not a concubine, so she has nothing to be arrogant about. There are many concubines in the palace who are pregnant, and it is another thing that they may not be able to give birth. Otherwise, now the Daqian Dynasty is not just a princess, no. ”
"Madame is right. But the problem is that Liu Ronghua is already pregnant for May, and it is impossible to have a miscarriage, and now she is protected by the Queen Mother. After a long time, wait a few more years, and Concubine Feng is in sight. ”
Hearing this, the old lady only felt that the darkness in front of her was overwhelming, and the whole person was about to fall, but fortunately, there was a table to support her.
