Chapter 220: Expulsion from the Palace
Two hundred and twenty, driven out of the palace
Xuanyuan Lei was shocked by Shangguan Yu's domineering, he didn't expect that such a seemingly weak woman could stand out in the palace, and even the emperor didn't dare to refute it, so he couldn't help but have a good impression of Shangguan Yu.
And for Xuanyuan Lei, as long as he is the one who helps Huo Mei, he can be regarded as his friend, Shangguan Yu was a little surprised at first when he saw the friendly eyes that Xuanyuan Lei threw at him, but when he saw the way he looked at Huo Mei, he understood a little in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Old Madam Wei's troubles for Huo Mei continued, "You keep saying that you didn't stop Ling Er from taking a concubine, but why did you stop Ling Er from marrying Yun'er as a flat wife in the first place?" I think you're a narrow-minded person who pretends to be in front of people! In my opinion, I don't know if the child in your belly is from my family's Wei Ling? ”
Huo Mei was really angry with this old woman, even her stomach shrank, and it hurt a little, she couldn't help but snort, Wei Ling kept holding her hand, feeling that something was wrong with her, she quickly got up and moved over.
"How are you?" Huo Mei stretched out his hand and pushed him, and this guy hugged Huo Mei directly in front of so many people, worried that he would be criticized, so Huo Mei resisted a little.
But Wei Ling thought this action was Huo Mei's resistance to him, and he panicked all of a sudden.
"Don't care about your mother's words, I know you're not that kind of person, and I don't want to marry Liu Yun'er, it's no wonder you!" Wei Ling's voice was not loud, but because of the confrontation between Old Madam Wei and the Empress Dowager, the hall had long been silent. So every word Wei Ling said fell into the ears of those present.
Old Madam Wei was in a hurry now, because Liu Yun'er was sitting not far away, and as soon as she heard Wei Ling's words. Liu Yun'er's complexion changed, and the father and son of the Liu family, who were lords, also darkened their faces, and now they completely offended the Liu family.
Originally, Mrs. Wei wanted to hold Liu Yun'er and directly ask the emperor for marriage, but looking at the current situation, the Liu family was afraid that she would not be willing, and Mrs. Wei was even more angry with Huo Mei.
"Look at it. Look at it, you dare to pretend in front of Your Majesty, and it was like this last time. The victim of the Lin family entered the riot room, I think you are the one who should be punished! ”
Everyone looked at Mrs. Wei's martial arts, and they all helped her pinch a cold sweat, and Shangguan Yu's face turned blue with anger. The palm of his hand slammed down on the table.
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that the Empress Dowager was angry. Mrs. Wei was shocked to realize that she seemed to be a little too forgetful, but she was unconvinced in her heart, the Empress Dowager was only sixteen or seventeen years old, if it weren't for the identity of the Empress Dowager, how could she dare to slap the table in front of Mrs. Wei.
"The Empress Dowager, what the concubines said is the truth!"
"How dare you quibble! Who are you mourners? Who are the people sitting here? You said that Mrs. Wei was pretending, and she almost had a miscarriage in the queen's palace that day, and several imperial doctors diagnosed it. Could it be that His Majesty's imperial doctors are all useless, and you are the most powerful person? Do you dare to tell me to marry a flat wife? What is your will as Your Majesty? His Majesty personally gave the marriage. But you pull something that doesn't go into the stream to be on an equal footing with Mrs. Wei, what do you think you are? Or do you think that the position of the empress dowager of the mourning family should also be handed over to you to sit! ”
At this moment, let alone Shangguan Yu, even Liu Xun frowned, Liu Yun'er's matter Mrs. Wei had approached him, but he didn't agree at the time, letting Wei Ling marry Miss Huo was originally used to appease Sima Mansion, if he married a flat wife right after, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Huo Guang?
And Wei Ling had no intention of Liu Yun'er and rushed to him, Liu Xun didn't want to do this, after all, he was a man, and it was indeed a painful thing to live with a woman he didn't like at all.
Even Liu Xun didn't expect that Mrs. Wei would pull her own banner and bully her daughter-in-law with great fanfare, and she spoke so excessively, she didn't care about Liu Xun's face at all, even if Liu Xun wanted to help her, she couldn't help anymore.
"The old man doesn't know that the daughter of my Huo family has suffered a lot of humiliation in the General's Mansion? What did His Majesty say on the day of the marriage? You promised the old man, my daughter of Sima Mansion will never be bullied! But now, my daughter is still pregnant with the flesh and blood of his Wei family, and this mother-in-law can't wait to give her son a concubine, isn't this to force the old man's daughter to a dead end? Good...... Very good...... The old man didn't know when the General's Mansion could be above His Majesty! ”
Huo Guang spoke, and the people around him began to discuss, Mrs. Wei's face became whiter and whiter, and she secretly glanced at Liu Xun, and saw that Liu Xun was also angry, and Mrs. Wei was really panicked at this moment.
"The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, the concubine is stupid, she has talked so much nonsense, she must be old and confused, please ask the Empress Dowager to forgive the minister's unintentional mistakes for the sake of the concubine's old age!" Shangguan Yu snorted coldly, and looked at the old lady Wei who was kowtowing below with disdain.
Just now, she was showing off her martial arts and depreciating Huo Mei as worthless, and now she is begging for pity with a weak look, how could Shangguan Yu let her go easily.
"From this point of view, Mrs. Wei is really stupid, even the mourning family and His Majesty can accuse, if the mourning family doesn't care about you, I'm afraid you will not know the severity in the future! Come! ”
"The slave is here!" As soon as Shangguan Yu spoke, Sun Liangyu hurriedly stepped forward to respond.
"Put this old thing in a riot room for me! Three days later, I asked her to go back to the general's mansion and instructed her to learn the rules in the violent room, and figured out whose family this Han Dynasty was. wants to mourn the family to teach her, but she has lost the identity of the mourning family and the emperor! ”
Sun Liangyu looked at Liu Xun with some embarrassment, but found that Liu Xun didn't raise his eyes, and seemed to have no objection to Shangguan Yu's request.
"Oh, slave and maid obey!" said that as soon as I Sun Liangyu waved his hand, a guard walked in, dragging Mrs. Wei away, and now Mrs. Wei was really scared.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, are you just watching me being taken away by them?" Wei Ling held Huo Mei's hand tightly and raised his eyes to look at Old Madam Wei. There was helplessness and worry in his eyes.
He knows that don't talk about the Empress Dowager today. I'm afraid that Huo Guang won't let go of Old Madam Wei, so now he can't speak, as soon as he opens his mouth, he may be truthful, and the entire General's Mansion will be affected at that time.
But the old lady Wei was not a lord who stopped, and when she saw that it was useless to shout Wei Ling, she opened her mouth and scolded.
"Okay, you are an unfilial son, you saw that your mother was being bullied. You are indifferent! Before Wei Ling could react, Huo Mei pulled Wei Ling to kneel in front of Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu was stunned.
"Mrs. Wei. What are you doing here? ”
"The concubine begs the mother to let her mother go! She is old, sometimes she speaks incoherently and biasedly, and she doesn't mean to contradict her mother, her mother raised her husband alone. The concubine really doesn't want to see her mother suffer because of me! If you can't dissipate your anger. Send the concubines to the violent chamber together! ”
Shangguan Yu froze for a moment, looking at Huo Mei with a displeased face, she actually didn't want to really lock up Old Madam Wei, it was really this old woman who was too unreasonable, so Shangguan Yu wanted to teach her a lesson.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was limited in emotion, Chang Hui came over and knelt down at the right time and also helped to plead.
"The Empress Dowager, this Wei Ling's mother has never seen much of the world. So I don't know how to scruple when I speak, and my mother wants to teach her a lesson. Why don't you let Wechen educate on your behalf? ”
Shangguan Yu saw that it was Chang Hui, so he smiled slightly.
"Chang Daren can help the mourning family, how can the mourning family say no? General Wei is your apprentice to Lord Chang, so Mrs. Wei naturally respects you, and it seems that she should be more respectful to you than the mourning family! Today's matter is in front of a hundred officials, the mourning family will hand over this old lady to you, Lord Chang, if he still does not repent, and speaks of disrespect to the royal family, then the mourning family will not move her, but directly set off your Chang Mansion! What do you think? ”
Everyone gasped when they heard this, they rarely saw Shangguan Yu on weekdays, they thought that the Empress Dowager was just a woman living in seclusion in the deep palace, but they didn't want the Empress Dowager to have such courage at a young age.
Only Liu Xun and Chang Hui know that this woman, who has been a queen since she was eight years old, has a tenacity that ordinary people do not have, otherwise she would not be able to survive in a place like the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones.
Chang Hui sighed, now he is difficult to ride a tiger, no one except him is willing to save Old Madam Wei, and if Wei Ling speaks, then I am afraid that the emperor will also take action.
"The old minister is willing to vouch for General Wei's mother, if he commits it again, he will be at the disposal of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty!" Shangguan Yu nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Sun Liangyu to order.
"Send this old lady back to the house for reflection, and before Lord Chang is sure that she is really improving, this person is forbidden to enter and leave the palace!"
Sun Liangyu bowed his head in response, and gave the guards a look, Mrs. Wei was taken out of the palace like this, it can be said that she lost face, and she fell ill as soon as she returned to the general's mansion.
Shangguan Yu personally got up and went around to the front to help Huo Mei up, and then pulled Huo Mei to sit on his side, Wei Ling also returned to his position, Liu Xun didn't say anything throughout the whole process, the scene was a little cold, and he saw the emperor wave his hand, the sound of silk and bamboo played, and the banquet continued.
Xuanyuan Lei watched the gaffe just now with great interest, looking like he was watching a good show, and the corners of Wei Ling's eyes twitched.
"You can laugh a little more wickedly, it is estimated that later, Your Majesty will give you a marriage!" Poof, Xuanyuan Lei almost didn't spit it out with the wine bottle, and waited for Wei Ling with a gloomy face.
"Are you the master? I'm not such an eventful mother, forcing my son to take a concubine, and forcing me to come to the emperor! Wei Ling was not stimulated by Xuanyuan Lei, but took a small sip of the wine bottle silently, his eyes were always on Huo Mei's body, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Xuanyuan Lei's demon at all.
Xuanyuan Lei disdained to quarrel with Wei Ling, but he didn't know that his demonic face had become a sweet spot in the banquet, especially the ladies of the official eunuch family, all of whom coveted the head of the Xuanyuan clan.
Soon, it was time for the young ladies to perform their talents, and they were not interested in this Wei Ling at all, but the young generals who were allowed to participate in the banquet stared at the beauties performing in the field with stunned eyes.
Xuanyuan Lei was also not interested in such a woman, so he simply silently observed the people around him, and what he was most curious about was Huo Jun sitting on the left side of the emperor, this woman with the same appearance as Huo Mei, but Xuanyuan Lei couldn't like it.
Even if she looks exactly the same as Huo Mei, Xuanyuan Lei can quickly distinguish the difference between the two, Huo Jun's eyes have too many **, compared to Huo Mei who is indifferent and unfazed, she is really too far behind.
At this moment, Huo Jun only had Liu Xun in his eyes, and he kept currying favor with him, starting to pour vegetables and wine for Liu Xun, but Liu Xun had a pale face and rarely responded to her.
If this is replaced by Huo Mei, I am afraid that he will not bother to please the emperor at all! Thinking of Huo Mei's disdainful expression, Xuanyuan Lei smiled secretly.
"Prince Xuanyuan is entering the palace for the first time, right?" At first, Xuanyuan Lei didn't notice that someone was talking to him, and he knew that the person who spoke out had said it several times before he pulled Xuanyuan Lei's attention back.
Xuanyuan Lei turned around, and then he saw that the person talking to him was a woman in a goose yellow dark robe, seeing Xuanyuan Lei turn his head, the woman's face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked delicate, which made Xuanyuan Lei a little disgusted.
"Are you talking to me?" The woman nodded shyly, and raised her hand to smooth the hair next to her ear, looking distressed, Xuanyuan Lei narrowed her eyes.
"Rou'er saw Childe drinking here alone, so she wanted to talk to Childe!"
Xuanyuan Lei's nostrils snorted, and he didn't even glance at this woman, so he said coldly: "Are you sure you are qualified to talk to this son?" Which green onion are you, you actually accosted me, do you know that what I hate the most is a self-inflicted woman? ”
Wang Yurou knelt beside Xuanyuan Lei with an embarrassed face, feeling terrified, and the people around her seemed to cast curious glances because she deliberately approached Xuanyuan Lei, and these people's eyes swept around Wang Yurou's body, making her feel like pins and needles.
"Childe, Rou'er has no malicious intent, she just wants to ...... It's just to get close to Childe, if you don't like it, Rou'er will leave......"
Wang Yurou almost walked away, returned to her original seat, and began to secretly wipe her tears, which made Huo Mei frown.
"The good girl of the family is so angry with you and cries, Xuanyuan Gongzi, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" As soon as Huo Mei opened his mouth, Shangguan Yu also looked over, even if it was not the first time to see Xuanyuan Lei's appearance, Shangguan Yu would still be shocked by Xuanyuan Lei's demonic face.
"What the master hates the most is a woman who is submissive, obviously in her bones, but she must pretend to be pure and good, and the master wants to vomit when he sees such a woman!" Huo Mei was amused by Xuanyuan Lei's expression, Shangguan Yu also covered his mouth and chuckled, and even Liu Xun turned his face to look at Xuanyuan Lei. (To be continued......)
