Chapter 692 - Heavy Gift (No. 4 Eight Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Yingsleeve returned to Xie's house, leaned against the wall of the bed, and hooked his finger at Xie Dongliang.
Xie Dongli leaned over, "What's wrong?" ”
Yingsleeve stretched out his arms, hugged his neck, put his head on his head, and whispered: "Don't worry, I did it on purpose, in fact, there is no discomfort......"
"You, are you comfortable, I don't know yet?" Xie Dongli also stretched out his arm and took her into his arms, "Your Majesty and the imperial concubine really didn't do it authentically, don't blame you for being angry." They have made my wife and son angry, and I will not let them have a good time. ”
Yingsleeve was happy when she heard it, but she still knew the severity, and persuaded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know that you protect our mother and son, and I don't suffer a loss." That Wanhuang concubine was so stunned by me that she was hiccuped. After saying that, he smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Xie Dongli smiled, "You can laugh at this kind of thing, isn't it stupid?" ”
Touching her head, holding it in his arms, listening to his pounding heartbeat, this is his life......
Ying Sleeve is a pregnant person in the end, this child is also extremely domineering and abrasive, today Ying Sleeve used a little more energy, and soon got tired, nestled in Xie Dongli's arms and fell asleep.
Xie Dongli was reluctant to put her down, patted her back and sat on the edge of the bed, coaxing her like a child.
When Yingsleeve was completely asleep, Xie Dongli walked out lightly.
Lifting the curtain and going out to the outer courtyard, Xie Dongli sat in the hall for a while.
The next person served tea, he held it in his hand and tasted it, and he had an idea in his mind for a while.
Emperor Wan's concubine is becoming more and more restless, she must knock and knock, otherwise she doesn't know what to do.
Xie Dongli narrowed his eyes. A lot of thoughts came to mind about the maiden family of Emperor Wan's concubine.
Emperor Wan's father, Tan Jiuling, was originally a magistrate, and when Xie Dongli went down to Jiangnan with his sleeves as a minister, he passed by Tan Jiuling's county. Landed there.
Tan Qiuwan, that is, Concubine Wan, was selected by Xie Dongli at that time and sent to the palace.
Now, of course, Tan Jiuling is not only a magistrate.
He is already the prefect, and Emperor Yuan Hong has made him an earl, and he is about to move to the capital.
Xie Dongli put down the teacup and turned the jasper wrench in his hand. Took the idea.
He got up and went to the study in the outer courtyard and transferred Tan Jiuling's file.
This man was not honest when he was the magistrate, and his hand was stretched too long. That's it, and the most important thing is that there are a few life lawsuits that are not clear.
According to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, when the title is promoted, the Prime Minister's Pavilion must review it as usual. Only those who make no big mistakes can be knighted.
If the Prime Minister's Pavilion calls back. Even His Majesty the Emperor was helpless.
In fact, for the emperor, this is also a good thing.
The price of the knighthood is actually too great, to give the fief, to give silver, the whole family to the royal family, the days are long, the population is too large to support.
However, the people who have made great contributions to the knighthood in the past are a good thing, and the Prime Minister's Pavilion is only the icing on the cake. I won't be out of sight to find faults.
But if you want to pick, you can't do it.
This is also the reason why the five-phase family has been calling for wind and rain in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom for so many years.
There is a lot of power in the hands. Almost against the imperial power.
Xie Dongli picked up the pen, filled in the word "reconsider" on Tan Jiuling's knighthood form, and attached his several life lawsuits, wrote them into the file, and promulgated them all over the world.
Prime Minister Xie Dacheng has always been resolute in doing things.
If he wants to disgust you in the first year of junior high school, he won't wait until the second year of junior high school.
Therefore, on the night of the first day of the new year, Emperor Wan's concubine knew about her father's knighthood, and was stopped by the Prime Minister's Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, you want to help your concubines! The concubine's father has always been law-abiding, loyal to His Majesty, and raised Yu'er for a year, these are all merits, why can't it work in the Prime Minister's Pavilion? Emperor Wan's concubine knelt on the ground, crying so hard that she couldn't speak, "Besides, it's okay for so many people to be knighted, and there is an accident here with the partial concubine, this is a slap in the face of the concubine!" - It's also a slap in the face! ”
Emperor Yuan Hong didn't expect that Xie Dongli would go wrong with Tan Jiuling's knighthood.
He was listlessly draped in a big hat, nestled on the couch, and said weakly: "This is stipulated by the law, and I can't do it, I can't say that I can change it." ”
"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court is sealed, how can the Prime Minister's Pavilion send a letter?" Emperor Wan's concubine was still indignant, what she was most afraid of was actually Xie Dongli, but she didn't dare to take him out and say that everyone knew that Xie Dongli was her backstage, if people knew that they turned against her, then her and Yu'er's situation would be even more dangerous.
Emperor Yuan Hong shook his head, "You don't know this, the imperial court is sealed, and the Prime Minister's Pavilion is not sealed." They take turns to be on duty every year, and if something happens, they can deal with it in time. ”
"Huh? This...... This...... Couldn't the concubine's father be knighted? The concubine was sad and disappointed, and the whole person sat on the ground, her hairpins and sideburns were messy, and her eyes were distracted.
Emperor Yuan Hong looked away, did not nod, did not shake his head, and said lightly: "You go to see Yu'er, I am a little tired." ”
Emperor Wan's concubine knew that Emperor Yuan Hong was tired, so she hurriedly got up and left, hugging her son.
Looking at Yu'er's smiling little appearance, Emperor Wan's concubine's heart was like a knife.
This feeling of being slapped in the face again and again in public is really uncomfortable.
Just because she is not a girl from a five-phase family, she works harder than anyone else in the palace.
Even if she sits in a high position, those people can still restrain her.
So she must not lose Xie Donglian's support.
Emperor Wan's concubine took out a handkerchief and woke up her nose, and decided to find an opportunity to go to Xie's house to find Xie Dongli to be soft, and then give Yingsleeve some grace.
After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Wan's concubine called her confidant palace maid over: "Send the mutton fat jade with skin sent by the mother's family of the palace to Guanyin to the princess of the country." ”
"Huh? Niangniang, isn't that your favorite goddess of mercy? The palace maid was surprised, and invited Guanyin from the inner hall of the palace of Emperor Wan's concubine.
The jade body is more white and jelly-like, without a little variegation, the base is a pale pink lotus, which is carved from the natural pale pink skin of the seed material, the knife is skillful, and the face of the goddess of mercy is even more lifelike.
Emperor Wan's favorite in the first two years was to worship this goddess of mercy.
But now, in order to save Xie Dongli, she can afford to sacrifice no matter how big she is.
"Mouthy. Hurry up and send it to the Xie family, in the second year of junior high school tomorrow, they have no mother's house to go back to, the house should be very deserted, let's take the initiative to show goodwill, they will appreciate it. Emperor Wan said through gritted teeth, but her fingers were about to tear the handkerchief on her hand.
The palace maid responded, and early in the morning of the second day of the first lunar month the next day, she carried a huge gift box through the market and went to Xie's house.
The second day of the first lunar month is the day when the married daughter returns home with her son-in-law and son.
There are already pedestrians on the streets of the capital.
This palace maid came to the door of the Xie family with a gift from the imperial concubine, thinking that the Xie family must be a good person at this time.
Because the Xie family has been separated, Xie Dongli and Yingsleeve, who live in this house now, have not yet given birth to their children, how can there be a girl to return to the door?
But she was wrong.
Early in the morning, there were a lot of cars parked at the gate of the Xie family, and it seemed that they were all official eunuchs.
This palace maid was a little dizzy.
No way?
Now that it has come to this point to please Prime Minister Xie Dacheng?
Claiming to be his son-in-law and treating him as a father-in-law?!
Isn't it only the son-in-law who comes to the door in the second year of junior high school?
The palace maid knocked on the corner door and said to the door arrogantly: "I am a female official in the palace, and the princess has given a gift to Her Royal Highness the princess, and I ask Her Royal Highness the princess to accept the decree." ”
The door looked her up and down, opened the door and let the group in.
The palace maid quietly asked the doorman: "Is the house busy today?" ”
The man smiled: "Today is the day when my aunts and grandmothers come home, how can they not be busy?" ”
"But Prime Minister Xie doesn't have a daughter?" The palace maid asked in wonder.
"Our uncle doesn't have a daughter, but the daughters of the two cousins of the Liu family come to our house today. I used to be a family, so I couldn't stop walking around because of the separation, right? The man grinned and sent the men to the guest house in the outer courtyard.
Ying Sleeve was talking to a few nieces in the upper room of the inner courtyard, it was her and Xie Donglian's niece who did not change their surnames before, but now they can only be regarded as nieces.
But in the end, they grew up in this family, and their parents were not in the capital, so Yingsleeve received them.
The people who came today were Lu Ruilan's two daughters and Ning Shumei's two daughters, both of whom brought their husbands and children, and were very affectionate to Ying Sleeve and Xie Dongli.
Yingsleeve asked with a smile: "You are really, your father and mother let you not have to run around for the New Year, so you really don't go?" The eldest cousin and the second cousin now only have their own family for the New Year, and they are also lonely, right? ”
Today, these people came to the door, and Ying Sleeve learned that Liu Dongyi, Lu Ruilan, Liu Dongming, and Ning Shumei, two couples, did not let their children go to them for the New Year.
Liu Dongyi and Lu Ruilan were in Leizhou in the south of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, while Liu Dongming and Ning Shumei were in the capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom.
It is true that the capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom is too far away, but Liu Dongyi and Lu Ruilan are in Leizhou, in the south of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and they don't let their children go to celebrate the New Year, which is a little interesting.
Yingsleeve asked Lu Ruilan's daughter Xie Tongxin, "Don't you really plan to go to Leizhou to see your father?" There is no family reunion for the New Year, what do you think? ”
Xie Tongxin hurriedly said: "Cousin, my father and my mother will leave for the capital today, and they should be there in three days." When the time comes, please invite my cousin and aunt to my house for a reunion dinner, and I hope that my cousin and aunt will appreciate it! ”
Her husband once helped her mother Lu Ruilan offend Yingsleeve fiercely, Xie Tongxin was very embarrassed, and flattered Yingsleeve carefully, hoping that she could dissipate her anger, and she could go to her cousin Xie Dongli to give her husband a way to live.
When Ying Sleeve heard this, she understood that Lu Ruilan was coming to the capital again, and she would definitely not leave in the short term when she came over this time.
In the middle of the groaning, a mother-in-law at the door reported back: "Madam, the imperial concubine Niangniang gave Mrs. a New Year's gift." ”
Yingsleeve got up and stood up, and said to the people in the room: "Sit down, and I will come when I go." ”
She came to the guest courtyard of the outer courtyard, saw the palace maid, looked at the gift with a smile, and said: "Emperor Wan's concubine is polite, it is useless, I am afraid that I will not be able to accept such a valuable gift." ”
