Chapter 190: Unwilling (5K Asking for a Monthly Pass, Ji Yu'er Spirit Pet 1+2)
"Imperial grandmother?" The imperial grandson and the county lord Ying Lan were taken aback by the reaction of the queen mother, and the two looked at each other, both puzzled.
In their impression, the imperial grandmother Qi Xueyun has always been a graceful and luxurious, steady and intelligent woman, and it is rare to lose her temper like this.
Of course, the palace maids and eunuchs who have followed Qi Xueyun for a long time all remember that the queen mother once had a stricter gaffe than this, that is, on the morning when the former prince died violently......
Qi Xueyun caught a glimpse of the shocked eyes of the imperial grandson and the county lord Ying Lan, realized his gaffe, quickly calmed down, and said to the imperial grandson and the county lord Ying Lan in a tone of hatred: "You guys, you are still too young, and you haven't thought through many problems clearly. ”
"Grandchildren and granddaughters would like to hear about it." The imperial grandson and the county lord Ying Lan bowed down and said.
Qi Xueyun walked down from the high couch of Suhua Broken Brocade, tied her hands, and came to the gate of the main hall of the East Palace, looked at the vermilion gate and the empty courtyard, sighed, and turned back and said: "The Changxing Marquis Mansion has a heavy army, if Ying Lan marries Murong Changqing, what is the situation?" Will your imperial grandfather be reassured? ”
The military power is on the side, that is, when the imperial power is weak.
Emperor Yuan Hong, such a shrewd person, would definitely not allow this to happen.
"Besides, if Murong Changqing becomes the county master, and later inherits the Changxing Marquis Mansion, and the power and military power are concentrated in one person, when the time comes, either others can't tolerate him, or he can't tolerate others, what kind of consequences will there be, have you thought about it?" Qi Xueyun's voice had regained her calmness, and she spoke much more calmly.
The imperial grandson and the county lord Ying Lan both gasped, bowed together and said, "Imperial grandmother." It's because we're not thinking it through. ”
Lord Ying Lan also distinguished: "Imperial grandmother, granddaughter didn't think so much, let alone think about anything else. I just want to help my eldest brother a little more......" She glanced at the imperial grandson with some embarrassment.
Although the imperial grandson did not say anything. In his heart, he deeply understood Empress Qi Xueyun's words, and felt that he suddenly understood why the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother praised Murong Changqing and Situ Yingsleeve's family affairs so much!
Obviously, one is the son of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, the head of the three marquis and the five prime ministers, and the other is just the daughter of a merchant who is not in the stream, although there is also a concubine of the prime minister as a mother-in-law, but the girl who marries out spills the water, this relationship is just like a fig leaf, barely able to be less expensive.
It turned out that this family affair could be recognized by everyone. It is because a family is too high and too powerful, and the Changxing Marquis Mansion no longer needs to find a high-ranking family to marry. Climbing nepotism.
Moreover, their marriage with the Situ family can also avoid the emperor's natural suspicion.
Lord Ying Lan figured this out, but he just pulled the corners of his mouth and said mockingly: "...... It's a pity. This is a good relationship that everyone praises. It's no longer possible. ”
"Impossible? Sister, what do you mean? The imperial grandson was stunned, and his brows furrowed.
"I just heard that the Situ family and Murong Shizi broke off their marriage contract. Murong Shizi himself may not know it. Lord Yinglan's voice had a faint pity.
Empress Qi Xueyun took a step forward suddenly, glared at Lord Ying Lan, and said angrily: "What did you say? Divorced!? How can it be? The palace has just given a dowry! - How dare they resist?! ”
“…… Imperial grandmother, they were originally just married, and they didn't get married? The emperor's grandfather did not give a marriage either. Why can't they quit their families? Lord Ying Lan stepped forward and held Qi Xueyun's arm. Slowly walked towards the outside of the main hall of the East Palace, "Don't worry about it." Anyway, it's a matter of the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, since we can't recruit them, let's just watch the excitement......"
"No, this palace is going to ask His Majesty for advice. - If you have a family affair, how can you say that you will retreat! Queen Qi Xueyun was very unwilling.
She returned to the inner hall and immediately sent someone to ask Emperor Yuan Hong if he was free, she had something to say to him.
Since the concubine entered the palace, and later the lord of Yinglan County brought a few women into the palace, Emperor Yuanhong rarely came to her queen's bedroom, and most of them watched the chapter in the imperial study of the outer hall to see the deputy minister, and when he returned to the inner palace, he went to sit in the palace of the concubine and other low-level concubines.
Now that the queen wants to talk to Emperor Yuan Hong, she has to order someone to pass the word.
Although she was not happy, she thought that she had been spoiled for so many years, and it would be too cheap to be jealous of those young women, so she could only pretend to be generous and put on a happy look.
Emperor Yuan Hong was invited over by the eunuch and asked, "Zitong, is there something wrong?" I'm still reading the recital, and the exam is about to start, and the exam questions haven't been decided yet. ”
Empress Qi's eyes flashed, and she struggled with the imperial examination questions and her son's life, and finally decided that her son's lifelong events were more important at present.
Anyway, there is an imperial examination every three years, and the son's original wife has only one in his life.
"Your Majesty, that's right. The concubine just heard that the eldest lady of the Situ family and the Murong prince of the Changxing Marquis Mansion had withdrawn, which is not good. The relationship between the two of them, Your Majesty, you have personally praised it at the beginning. They are now quietly withdrawing from their relatives, completely not giving His Majesty face. According to the concubines, should you send them a decree to give marriage, so that they should not be too hasty? Empress Qi personally presented a cup of fragrant tea to Emperor Yuan Hong, "Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty's favorite." ”
Emperor Yuan Hong took the colorful peony dragon pattern teacup, looked down at the green and transparent tea like jasper, took a sip, and asked carefully, "What's the matter?" Is it a divorce? Who refunded whom? ”
Empress Qi was suffocated, and secretly said that the emperor was old, and he was actually quite gossipy...... She smiled and shook her head, "The concubine also just heard what Ying Lan's girl said." If you want to know the details, why don't you call her over and talk? ”
Emperor Yuan Hong nodded, held the tea cup and played with it, and said leisurely: "I heard that Shen Xiang's daughter has returned from illness, and today is the day of the osmanthus banquet in Situ Mansion, I really didn't expect such a ......."
"Your Majesty really knows this Situ family well......" Queen Qi said half-sourly, half-jokingly.
Emperor Yuan Hong put down the teacup and raised his eyes to glance at her quickly.
A fine light flashed in his cloudy eyes, before Empress Qi looked back at him. He lowered his eyelids again, blocking Queen Qi's tentative sight, and said with a smile: "That's nature." Prime Minister Shen Dacheng said many times in front of me. I wanted me to go to Situ Mansion to sit down and support his daughter, but I didn't bother to go. ”
Empress Qi sneered in her heart, but she didn't poke him on her face.
The two gossiped a few words, and the county lord Ying Lan had already rushed over.
After saluting Emperor Yuanhong and Empress Qi respectively, Lord Ying Lan told her what she knew.
"Oh? In this way, did Mrs. Shen take the initiative to withdraw from her family? Emperor Yuan Hong groaned. Staring at the lid of the secret porcelain teacup, he fell silent.
Lord Ying Lan walked over and carried a small teapot of purple sand carved flowers and birds, and personally refilled the tea for Emperor Yuanhong, "Imperial grandfather." Before this rain, the dragon well has to be tasted for the second time, you see this water, is it a lot clearer? ”
Emperor Yuan Hong smiled gently, and nodded in response to the Lan County Lord. "Ying Lan brews a good tea."
Empress Qi waited for a long time. Seeing that Emperor Yuan Hong still didn't speak, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, you still send a will to give marriage ......"
Emperor Yuan Hong interrupted her and said gently but firmly, "Zitong, I can't do this. ”
"Why? You are the emperor! Who can control you? "Queen Qi is in a hurry, she really wants Murong Changqing to marry Situ Yingsleeve, this is the only compensation for her poor son......
Emperor Yuan Hong stood up. Walking outside the hall, he said lightly: "Although I am the Son of Heaven. But I can't take care of my courtiers' family affairs. In the matter of marriage, you must listen to the orders of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker have never heard of listening to the will of the king! ”
"But in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the emperor often gave marriage! The ministers and people below are all proud to be married by the emperor! Empress Qi said unwillingly behind Emperor Yuan Hong's back.
Emperor Yuan Hong stopped, sighed, his eyes swept over her face, and said, "But this is the Eastern Yuan, not the Northern Qi!" ”
"Your Majesty, are you really not married?!" Empress Qi clenched her fists.
If she could, she would like to make a decree to marry herself.
But she also knew that if Emperor Yuanhong didn't agree, even if she made an edict, she would be rejected, and she would only slap herself in the face.
She didn't dare to make a mistake, because it was about the Situ family, and although Emperor Yuan Hong pretended to be light-hearted, he would definitely not let her be confused......
"Grandmother Huang, forget it. The emperor's grandfather said that it doesn't matter, and you don't care about the Situ family. They can't get on the stage, you care about them so much, they can't afford it, they will be blessed. Lord Ying Lan bit his lip and stepped forward to persuade softly.
As soon as Empress Qi heard Lord Yinglan's words, she knew that she misunderstood that she was doing this for the Situ family.
That's fine, let her misunderstand.
Empress Qi waved her hand disheartenedly, "Ying Lan, you go down." Hongu is a little tired and needs to rest. ”
……
Murong Changqing returned to the Hou Mansion from the palace and learned the news like a thunderbolt from the sky.
"What?! Divorce?! Bold slave! - How dare you say it! Murong Changqing only felt a rush of blood rushing into his brain, and he couldn't control himself at all.
Syllable!
He raised his arm, slapped him hard, and beat the servant girl who had told him the news straight out, flying from the door to the wall of the courtyard, and hit it hard, before rolling face down to the ground, motionless, and soon the blue brick ground under her showed red blood.
Murong Changqing didn't even look at her, and ran to the courtyard of his mother's kiss Lu Ruifeng angrily.
"Mother! Mother! What's going on? Why did you quit?! Murong Changqing roared at Lu Ruifeng, his anger uncontrollable.
Lu Ruifeng hurriedly said: "Changqing, don't be angry. Alas, my mother doesn't want to do this. But you Aunt Shen...... Aunt Shen ......" Lu Ruifeng cried as she spoke.
Seeing Lu Ruifeng crying, Murong Changqing's dizzy brain slowly calmed down.
He quietly watched Lu Ruifeng crying, and after a while, he said, "...... Mother, is there any misunderstanding? Aunt Shen doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person. ”
"Misunderstanding? I don't know what the misunderstanding is. Lu Ruifeng wiped his tears with a handkerchief, choked up, and said, "I just praised the girl with a few words, and poked your Aunt Shen's eyes." She can't see others saying that Ying Sleeve is not good at all. How, you say, is this possible? Yingsleeve is not a saint, and he is not a saint, so he still doesn't let people say it? ”
Murong Changqing agreed with Lu Ruifeng's words.
In the morning, he said to Shen Yongjie that "loving mothers are more defeated", and when he heard Lu Ruifeng say the same, he felt very cordial. Hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be sad. Aunt Shen may have not been able to be by the side of the Yingsleeve siblings for so many years, so she loves them a little. Wait a while. She came back to her senses and would naturally come to us. After a pause, Murong Changqing said again: "Mother, if Aunt Shen repents and comes to you, don't show her face, just respond to her happily......
Lu Ruifeng: "......" Now she firmly believes that she is right to retreat!
"Evergreen. Don't think about it so much. You are the prince of the Marquis of Changxing, the noble daughter of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, you can choose whatever you want. The Situ family has a good calculation. I also want to match the dark fragrance of their family to you. Hehe, my sister doesn't want you, so I'll replace it with my sister, what is our Changxing Hou Mansion? Lu Ruifeng said sneeringly. I took the fan and fanned it casually.
"Dark incense? She's so much smaller than me. How can it be? Murong Changqing also felt ridiculous, "I'm already seventeen, and I'll be eighteen next year." Mother, you should first cover the yard of marriage. Aunt Shen was just confused for a while. If you quit with me, how can Yingsleeve find a better family? You can rest assured, I will definitely enter the door next year! ”
He thought about it again and again, but he still felt that apart from himself, Situ Yingsleeve couldn't find a better person.
Although now he has withdrawn from his family. But as long as he goes to show his sincerity to Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen will definitely marry Ying Sleeve to him!
Lu Ruifeng looked at him. I wanted to stop talking, but finally changed the topic and said, "It's okay, your yard should be built first, so as not to be in a hurry when something happens in the future." ”
The mother and son began to discuss what to build for Murong Changqing's new courtyard.
"Madam, madam, something happened...... Lu Ruifeng's mother-in-law walked in quietly, leaned into Lu Ruifeng's ear and said, "...... A servant girl who was beaten in his yard just now swallowed his breath when he carried it down......"
Lu Ruifeng's heart trembled, glanced at Murong Changqing, and saw that his face was gloomy, so he whispered to the mother-in-law: "Don't make a fuss, where is the son of the world who killed him?" It's that she made a mistake, was punished, and couldn't stand it. - Give them fifty taels of silver, and send them well......"
The woman answered, and went to cook by herself.
When Murong Changqing heard this, he also regretted the weight of his hands, looked at his palms, got up and returned to his courtyard, and ordered someone to send fifty taels of silver to the maid's house.
The maid's family is the son of the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, although it is sad that the daughter died, but the master rewarded a hundred taels of silver, and they couldn't sell one hundred taels of silver when they sold ten daughters, so they didn't mention this matter again, and still worked as an errand in the Changxing Marquis Mansion, flattering Lu Ruifeng and Murong Changqing without mentioning it.
……
In Situ's mansion, the family was busy with the osmanthus banquet for a day, and now they are too lazy to move.
Shen Yongjie, Situ Yingsleeve, and Situ Chenlei sat under the vine trellis in the backyard of Zhiguitang and watched the sunset, eating tea and sitting idly.
Shen Yongjie thought about today's events carefully, and asked Situ Yingsleeve: "By the way, I want to ask you, what's going on today?" How did your needlework get out of the way? What do the maids and wives eat? ”
It's a complete disaster.
Situ Ying's sleeve moved.
yes, what happened this morning was such a coincidence......
"Celery, mulberry, come in." Situ Yingsleeve raised his voice and shouted.
Cai Qin and Cai Sang came in from outside the door, bowed down to her and said, "Miss, what do you command?" ”
"What just happened? How did you knock the sewing cabinet open? Situ Yingsleeve stared at the two of them and asked.
The only people who knew that she was sewing and mending Xie Dongliang's pants were Cai Qin and Cai Sang.
If this matter leaks out, then the mole is only among these two people.
Cai Qin didn't make a sound.
Cai Sang glanced at her and said, "Previously, it was the second miss who put the plum bottle of the pitcher on the sewing cabinet, but later when Miss Tang and Miss Shen were fighting, she knocked down the plum bottle, and then the needlework cabinet was also knocked open and fell out......"
Cai Qin said in a low voice: "It's the slave's fault, the hands and feet are too slow, and when I picked up the pants, I was seen by Miss Tang." ”
Cai Sang glanced at Cai Qin again, lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Situ Yingsleeve saw the expressions of both of them in his eyes, and he was very emotional.
These two maids followed her in the last life, until she committed suicide by jumping into the white tower, and they never left her.
In this life, at least one of the two of them has changed......
Shen Yongjie knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.
She said quietly, "It's okay, you guys go out." ”
Cai Qin and Cai Sang hurriedly curtsied and went out backwards.
"Looks like you're going to buy another maid too." Shen Yongjie said with a smile, not taking it to heart, "I just took over the affairs of the family, and the family will change up and down, you don't have to worry." ”
Situ Yingsleeve pursed her lips and begged Shen Yongjie: "Mother, I should deal with the matter of these two maids myself." ”
After all, after following her for so many years, she worked hard without credit in her previous life, and she didn't want to do too much.
Shen Yongjie patted her hand, "Don't be soft-hearted, just do what you want." If you tolerate it, my mother will help you make up for it. ”
Situ Yingsleeve sneered, squeezed in Shen Yongjie's arms, and said, "Mother, don't scare me, I'm cowardly." ”
"Are you cowardly? I don't think you're a little cowardly. Shen Yongjie smiled and quipped, "Then Murong Changqing is going to scare me to death, you can still hide calmly from him......"
“…… Maybe Murong Gongzi didn't use all his strength. Situ Yingsleeve still said a good word for Murong Changqing, she didn't think that Murong Changqing really had the intention of killing her.
Of course, her self-confidence is based on the premise that she has kung fu. If she can't carry it on her shoulders and can't lift her hands like other ordinary women, then she really has to worry about her life.
……
At night, Situ Yingsleeve kept tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
She was waiting for Master.
Since her mother returned, her master has rarely come over.
In the past two months, I have only come three times.
This time, it's a month away.
She had a hunch that Master would definitely come tonight.
Sure enough, she waited until midnight, and finally heard the familiar sound of the flute again, and was overjoyed, jumped up from the bed, changed into a water back, covered with a dark tight-fitting narrow-sleeved shirt, and wore deerskin over-the-knee boots, and galloped towards the backyard.
This time, instead of standing, the Master sat on the Lying Cow Rock, with a verdant flute lying across his lips.
Hearing her coming, the tune changed from long to cheerful, and she was in a good mood.
