The hard-working update is coming, and it's been quite hard these days. Dear friends, do you have a ticket, there is only one last day left at the end of the month. Why, what, what.

------Off topic------

Li Muqing hooked the corners of his lips and smiled gently, "Old mussels can give birth to pearls." I'm telling him that if he wants to give birth to pearls, it will take at least three years. Let's stay up slowly! It just depends on whether he can survive or not. ”

Mrs. Right Prime Minister was puzzled, "Every move in Beijing should not be able to hide from Prince Ying and Princess Zheng and the second son of Zheng." Why do you go out of your way to sue Qin Zheng? ”

The man answered and withdrew.

"Go and inform Brother Qin Zheng of the news of Mrs. Yongkanghou's pregnancy." Li Muqing commanded.

"Childe!" One person appeared next to the car.

Li Muqing sat in the car with her mother, raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and shouted outside, "Someone." ”

Mrs. Right Xiang also felt that Mrs. Yongkang Hou was too pregnant. I don't know if I should feel that Yongkang Hou has been too lucky for so many years. In any time of ups and downs, the Yongkang Hou Mansion always happened too coincidentally to stabilize the mansion.

Concubine Lin thought that Mrs. Yongkang Hou was pregnant at this time, as long as she didn't commit a big deal, the emperor would open up. Even if the queen catches her dowry girl and spreads rumors to slander Xie Fanghua, as the mother of the country and the mother of the world, she can no longer be harsh. She was pregnant.

Compared with the emperor and several important ministers of the court, who didn't take this matter seriously, the female dependents who got the news with them had a lot of ideas.

The right minister also thinks it's not a strange thing, after all, in the spring, his house has just been aborted because of the concubine. It's just a little embarrassing.

Zuo Xiang felt that this was a strange thing, and he didn't have any thoughts about it, because the Yongkang Hou Mansion had no children for many years, so it seemed that Mrs. Yongkang Hou was pregnant. It is not too unusual that he had an heir born in the left prime minister's mansion the year before last.

Prince Ying thought that Yongkang Hou was about the same age as him, and he actually had a child again. Thinking about Mrs. Yongkang Hou and his princess, they are not much different. If her princess is also pregnant...... Thinking of this, he immediately stopped, when his princess gave birth to Qin Lian, her vitality was greatly damaged, and the doctor said that she would not be pregnant anymore. Even if she can get pregnant, she loves Qin Zheng so much, she shouldn't want it anymore. Besides, he didn't want her to be tired anymore. With children and daughters, all by his side, he is already content.

Gonggong Wu sat in the car with the emperor, thinking that Yan Xiaohou ran away from home, and a son came to the Yongkang Marquis Mansion. I just don't know if this baby is a boy or not. If it is a boy, then it is difficult to say who the hereditary person of the Hou Mansion will be in the future.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Old man, what virtue has Yongkang Hou accumulated?" This time, the little marquis of Yanting doesn't have to look forward to it. ”

The news of Mrs. Yongkanghou's joy spread to the ears of the emperor and Prince Ying, left and right ministers in less than half a cup of tea.

The carriage of the Yongkang Hou Mansion and the carriage of the Sun Taiyi Mansion walked towards the Yongkang Hou Mansion together.

Doctor Sun returned to his carriage.

"It's good!" Yongkang Hou happily got into the carriage and told the coachman to hurry back to his house.

Imperial Physician Sun couldn't cry or laugh, "Master Hou, there is your wife lying in this carriage, and then sit on you, where is there still an old man's place?" Get in the car! The old man goes to his carriage and follows you to the Hou Mansion. ”

"Let's go! Get in the car! Yongkang Hou dragged Imperial Doctor Sun into the car.

Doctor Sun thought that he was also miserable, running back and forth, and he was too tired to do it. But the people of Yongkang Hou and Yongkang Hou Mansion are not gentlemen, and they are serious villains. It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Besides, he is now old and prosperous, and he just happened to catch up, how can he not ask for some money? The Yongkang Hou Mansion also has a lot of rare things. So, he nodded happily, "Okay, the old man will go to the Hou Mansion with the Hou Ye." ”

Yongkang Hou hurriedly said, "Quickly, Imperial Doctor Sun, you can go to Yongkang Hou's Mansion with me now." Give her a prescription. ”

"Mrs. hasn't rested well these days, she is exhausted, her pulse is a little vague and unstable, the old man prescribes a prescription for her, she eats well, don't worry about it anymore, she will raise it with peace of mind, she should be able to keep the fetus, no big problem." Doctor Sun said.

When Yongkang Hou was confirmed, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to pick up Imperial Doctor Sun, and he was at a loss like a young hairy boy, "She is pregnant, and she was even drenched in the rain today, this is ...... Now fainted...... It's all right......"

Doctor Sun sighed, "The old man has been practicing medicine for most of his life, can't he even diagnose a happy pulse?" Mrs. Zun's vein is indeed a happy vein. ”

Yongkang Hou woke up, grabbed Imperial Physician Sun's arm, and said excitedly, "Sun ...... Taiyi ...... Is it really joyful? Did you diagnose the wrong pulse? ”

Imperial Physician Sun looked at Yongkang Hou and laughed, "Master Hou, Madame's joy is a great joy, what kind of expression do you have?" ”

Yongkang Hou couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

No one would have thought that at this time, she would be happy again. It's been nearly fifteen years.

Since Mrs. Yongkang Hou gave birth to Yan Lan, her belly has not moved for many years, and she has never been pregnant again. Although Taiyi has always been in good health, he has not been able to conceive again year after year. The old lady of the Yongkang Hou Mansion openly and secretly said that the Yongkang Hou Lady had told her to be more generous, allowing him to walk around the concubine's house and add more heirs to the mansion. But Mrs. Yongkang Hou was indifferent and did not agree in any case. In addition, she is already tough, and the old lady has the same temperament as her. So, over time, the old lady didn't say anything. Because that's how she came back then. Rebirth is also a concubine, and may not be able to survive in her hands. Just think about it.

Not only Yongkang Hou was stunned, but the guards and coachmen around Yongkang Hou's Mansion were already stunned.

Yongkang Hou's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Imperial Doctor Sun in disbelief, and his whole person was stunned.

"Honoring Mrs. is the happy pulse." Doctor Sun said.

"What's the joy of?" Yongkang Hou looked at Imperial Physician Sun inexplicably.

Imperial Physician Sun shook his head, carefully and seriously checked his pulse for a while, and after a long time, he put down his hand and said to Yongkang Hou, "Congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye." ”

"What's wrong? Isn't she so good? Yongkang Hou raised his heart.

Imperial Physician Sun nodded and immediately took the pulse of Mrs. Yongkang Hou. As soon as his hand touched the pulse of Madame Yongkang Hou, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Imperial Doctor Sun, take a look at Humble Jing. Why did she faint? "Before Yongkang Hou let him drive, let Imperial Doctor Sun take the pulse.

After a while, Imperial Physician Sun was dragged off his carriage by the chief butler of the Yongkang Hou Mansion and hurried to the carriage of the Yongkang Hou Mansion.

Yongkang Hou carried his wife into the carriage.

The chief butler of the Yongkang Hou Mansion immediately personally pulled out his legs and chased after Imperial Doctor Sun in the direction that he had just left.

"Don't go yet!" Yongkang Hou urged.

"Master Hou, the slave just saw Imperial Physician Sun's carriage following the emperor's procession. The slave went to ask for Imperial Doctor Sun. The chief butler of the Yongkang Hou Mansion immediately said.

Yongkang Hou turned around, and saw his wife fainting and planted on the ground, his face changed, and he also shouted, and quickly turned back and squatted down to help her up, and called twice, Mrs. Yongkang Hou did not move, he was in a hurry, "Come on, call the doctor." ”

"Madame!" Someone shouted.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou followed Yongkang Hou for two steps, her eyes were dark, and she suddenly fainted to the ground.

"Let's go! Let's go home. Seeing that his wife was silent, this was the city gate, and he didn't want the people to see the jokes, he walked towards the carriage.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou knew that she didn't discuss this matter with him, and coupled with her usual toughness to force her son away, Yongkang Hou complained about her behind her back, no matter how strong she was, after all, she was also a woman, so she could only be silent.

Until the emperor's party left the city gate, Yongkang Hou glanced at the water stains on his and his wife's bodies, and sighed, "This time I was lost face by you in Beijing!" ”

The carriages on the left and right walked by, but they did not stop.

Prince Ying glanced at Marquis Yongkang, did not speak, lowered the curtain, and ordered the carriage to return to Prince Ying's mansion.

The emperor gave the order to set off, and the team slowly walked towards the palace.

"Yes!" Yongkang Hou breathed a sigh of relief, this was passed in front of the emperor.

The Emperor stared at the Marquis of Yongkang for a moment, and saw that she had stayed in the rain for too long, and her face was cold, and her face turned pale. But the look doesn't look like a lie. He waved his hand and lowered the curtain and said in a deep voice, "Yongkang Hou, let's take your wife back to the house first!" Naturally, I will find out about this matter. ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head, "No! ”

"But what else is there but the letter that spontaneously ruined?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the concubines don't dare to deceive the emperor with nonsense. It was someone who gave me an anonymous letter. Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.

"You said someone gave you an anonymous letter. Say that there will be a fire in the Dharma Buddha Temple today? The emperor's face sank.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou knew that if she didn't confess, then the emperor found out that the Yongkang Marquis Mansion was guilty of deception, so she told the emperor how she received the dart anonymous letter, and said that she was really angry that her son couldn't find it these days, and Miss Fanghua was like nothing, so she thought of a way to defile her statement.

Yongkang Hou gritted his teeth and reached out to poke his wife.

The emperor glanced at Prince Ying, and seeing that Prince Ying had no feelings, he asked, "Only spreading rumors?" ”

The old man Yongkang Hou shook his face, glanced at the carriage next to him, the curtain was opened, and Prince Ying was looking at them. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The unfilial son of Yanting has always been in love with Miss Fanghua, and Miss Fanghua was assigned to marry the second son of Zheng, and she ran away from home in a negative mood. Madame has always been dissatisfied with Miss Fanghua. ”

"When did the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong have a grudge against your wife?" The emperor asked knowingly.

"The Fafo Temple caught fire, and the lady slandered the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion for polluting the Buddhist Temple, which angered the heavens, and ordered her to marry and take a walk. The queen took the lady's dowry girl. The lady entered the palace to ask the queen for her guilt, but the lady was gone. The old minister could only take her to ask the emperor for his guilt. The emperor forgives the sin, and the old minister will strictly manage his wife in the future, and will not let her seek revenge against Miss Fanghua. Yongkang Hou said.

"Let's talk about it! What did you do wrong? The emperor asked slowly.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou has always been afraid of the emperor, and she lowered her head when she heard this.

Yongkang Hou's face turned red.

The emperor looked at the two of them and snorted coldly at Yongkang Hou, "Are you just not strict with your housekeeper today?" When have you been strict with your housekeepers? Isn't everyone aware of the reputation of the bureau? ”

"The old minister and his wife greet the emperor! The lady did something wrong, and the old minister was not strict with the housekeeper, so he specially came to ask the emperor for the crime. Yongkang Hou considered the words, pulled his wife and knelt on the ground regardless of the dirt on the ground.

After a short time, the Marquis of Yongkang and his wife braved the rain to come to the emperor's carriage.

Wu Quan should be, and hurriedly ran with an umbrella to call Yongkang Hou and his wife.

He lifted the curtain and looked out, the two people were almost drenched in soup, he lowered his face and ordered Wu Quan, "You go and call them over." ”

Although the emperor is outside the palace, he also knows the capital well. Every move in the capital was reported to him at any time. He naturally knew that Mrs. Yongkanghou's dowry spread rumors that were unfavorable to Xie Fanghua.

At the same time, Wu Quan had already handed the news that the Marquis of Yongkang and his wife were waiting here in the rain to the emperor.

He pondered for a moment, and then instructed the coachman to aside, waiting for the emperor's carriage to come forward.

Someone reported the matter to Prince Ying, Prince Ying poked his head out of the carriage, and saw the Marquis of Yongkang and his wife who had been drenched like chickens in soup, and now it was raining heavily, and the two of them were waiting like this, obviously waiting for an hour. It's almost unrecognizable as the dignified Yongkang Marquis and his wife.

The carriage of the Prince's Mansion was in front of the road, followed by the emperor's carriage, and at the end was the carriage of equal people on the left and right.

The emperor, Prince Ying, the left and right ministers, Concubine Lin, the right minister's wife, Li Muqing, the eighth prince and others just stepped into the city gate. I saw that the Marquis of Yongkang and his wife did not have an umbrella, and waited for the city gate in the rain.

Qin Lian stuck out her tongue at the queen.

"You girl!" The queen laughed and scolded.

Qin Lian sighed, "The more lively the better, then there will be a good show to watch, so that we don't have to be idle and bored." ”

"It's okay if they don't come back. It is also to take the opportunity to find out the wind direction and the attitude of the emperor in these high-ranking mansions in the court. The queen said in a low voice, "Just half a day ago, the capital was as lively as oil. If this is thoroughly investigated later, I'm afraid it will be even more lively. ”

Qin Lian nodded, and said with some complaints, "My mother and brother are really interesting. We're worried about them to death in the palace. But they were so good that they didn't even return to Beijing. I went to the courtyard leisurely. Don't they know that this Jingzhong is now in chaos? ”

"Then it will have to wait for the rain to stop, since he is back, it is not easy. I think I'll be staying a little longer. You can always see it. The queen touched Qin Lian's head.

"Then I'll go find him." Qin Lian said.

The queen smiled, "If he doesn't come to the capital now, you won't be able to see him if you want to." ”

"Is it so wonderful? Aunt Huang, I must meet her when the time comes. I don't like monks, but I like monks. Qin Lian said.

"I see!" The queen nodded.

It is said that he was in the Qingyun Mountain and a friend set up a gossip stargazing array, and happened to catch a glimpse of the celestial phenomena in the capital of Southern Qin. The stars of Southern Qin shifted, the sea of stars was vertical and horizontal, the clouds were discolored, and the fire burned the heavenly peak. It's a bad omen. At that time, he only comprehended the first half of the star hexagram, and the Taoism was too shallow to understand the second half of the star hexagram. So, I set off for a walk. "The little eunuch told him locally.

"I'm confused too!" The queen looked at the little eunuch, "Why did he come back?" Can you find out? ”

"Why did he come back now?" Qin was puzzled.

The queen nodded and sighed, "Back then, the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan were the two major families surnamed Cui. The background is comparable to Xie's. Cui Yuwan of the Cui clan of Boling married Xie Ying, the son of the Marquis of Zhongyong. Cui Zijing of the Qinghe Cui clan is your mother, married to Prince Ying, Qin Huang, who is your father. The marriage of these two great families balanced the Xie family and the royal family. Later, soon after the emperor ascended the throne, the old lady of the Cui clan of Boling left, and Cui Jing met a Taoist who traveled to Southern Qin, and he had nothing to love, so he abandoned his home and ran away from the Tao. Soon after he left, Xie Ying and Cui Yuwan were both killed, and the eldest son of the Boling Cui clan, who is now General Wuwei, asked for an order to go to the border of Mobei. Since then, the Boling Cui clan has withdrawn from the circle of nobles in Beijing. faded out of sight. ”

"Aunt Huang, do you know him?" Qin Lian was puzzled.

The queen was stunned for a moment and said, "He actually came back." ”

"It's him." The little eunuch nodded.

"You're talking about Cui Jing, who has been away from home for nearly twenty years?" The queen was stunned.

"The slave forgot to tell you, Cui Lao was the head of the Boling Cui clan back then, that is, the father of the deceased lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." The little eunuch said, "Cui Lao just returned to Beijing today, and he happened to catch up with the fire in the Fafo Temple, so he followed the emperor and Xie Shizi to the Fafo Temple. ”

"Who is Elder Cui?" Qin Lian wondered.

"Returning to the county lord, it is said that Cui Lao doesn't like the capital, so Xie Shizi took him to another garden. The princess, the second son of Zheng, and Miss Fanghua also followed. The little eunuch replied.

Qin Lian nodded, frowned and asked the little eunuch, "My mother, brother, and future sister-in-law have not returned to Beijing?" Where did they go? ”

"Now that it's raining outside, the rumors about Miss Zhongyong's Mansion have changed again. What the Holy Spirit protects the body, God and Buddha bless. Although the Marquis of Yongkang took the opportunity to slander her, it was not harmed now. Rumors can be big or small. The queen patted Qin Lian's hand, "If the Yongkang Marquis Mansion only did this one thing, then what if the emperor spares her?" Even if it's heavy, it's not heavy. If he did more than this, then even if Marquis Yongkang rushed to the city gate with his wife to ask the emperor for his guilt, the emperor did not say that he would spare him. Prince Ying's Mansion and Zhongyong's Mansion will not do it. ”

"What a hate! Could it be that the imperial uncle will spare him? Qin Lian gritted her teeth.

After the queen in the palace got the news, she said to Qin Lian with a smile, "The Yongkang Marquis Mansion can stand for more than two hundred years, with Emperor Taizu fighting the world, and later being named a hereditary marquis, the emperor has changed for several generations, and the Yongkang Marquis Mansion is still not falling." There is also the way of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion in the middle. ”

After discussing with his wife, Yongkang Hou braved the rain and went to the North City Gate to wait for the emperor. They wanted to ask the emperor in advance as soon as the emperor entered the city gate.

When the emperor arranged the affairs of the Dharma Buddha Temple and set off for Beijing, the palace and the mansions of the high gates also received the news of the emperor's return to Beijing.
