Chapter 20: The Quarrel

"I knew that I was going to be the prime minister's daughter, so Ouyang Yunshu's identity really can't be on the stage." The eldest prince entered the palace concubine in the name of inviting An, and paced back and forth with a slightly restless expression.

"How old is that girl, and it will take two years to get married, and it is rumored that she is still a sick child." Concubine Yuan is also not very optimistic about Ouyang Yun, if her son is so good, if it weren't for the wrong time, how could she still marry a concubine daughter as a side concubine.

"Father likes Ouyang Xichao, at least the Ouyang family is such a young lady." The eldest prince retorted: "Didn't you also see that Ouyang Yun, who was cheap, actually disrespectful to his sister-in-law by virtue of marriage, what is the use of marrying this kind of woman." ”

"You also know that your father loves this Zunyi County Lord very much, so it's hard for you to rob your father of the emperor's woman!" Yuan Guifei really had a sulky stomach, and was cut in public by a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up, if it weren't for the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she really wanted to teach that girl a lesson.

"Mother!" The eldest prince shouted: "Calm down, if my father really has the intention of bringing him into the **, he will not make him the county lord." ”

"What do you know, your father's eyes are very special when he looks at that girl, I have been married to the emperor for more than 20 years, can't I even see this." Yuan Guifei's face flashed.

"Being crowned a county lord is just a role in elevating your status, if your father is happy, maybe the lord of the palace will not be stingy." How could Concubine Yuan not be jealous.

"Why is the mother so confused." The eldest prince faced the beautiful woman in the palace and said: "If the father really likes the county lord, it is just a matter of one sentence, even if he is young, it is not impossible to accompany him in the palace for two years, why bother to be named the county lord, don't think about it, the mother concubine forgot that there is the second and third, the third is now fourteen years old, and the second is the second, the second is nineteen years old, and there are only two side concubines." ”

The eldest prince's words woke up Yuan Guifei at once, "You're right. "In the past few years, the emperor has gone to the palace less and less, and the year before last it was enriched again, although there were only a dozen concubines selected into the palace, except for the more people who went to the Min Guiren, the rest of the newcomers have not been exposed to the rain and dew. And the royal heirs, except for the three princes, are all princesses. The third prince has no mother concubine and no maternal power can not become a climate, and now there is only the second prince left, a good concubine Chen dares to use her as a gunman, such a vicious strategy, and blame herself for being caught by Concubine Chen's words at that time, and did not think about it.

"Are you saying that the emperor will point out the county lord to Mu Rong as a concubine?" Yuan Guifei was a little unsure.

"It's very likely." The eldest prince frowned deeply and said, "I shouldn't have agreed to Ouyang Yun's marriage if I knew it." He regrets it very much now, looking at his father's love for the lord of Zunyi on the day of the birthday banquet, he can know that the benefits of marrying her are greater than that of marrying Ouyang Yun, and the dignified and noble spirit of a girl is enough to show the difference between concubines and concubines.

"Once the marriage is decided, there is no room for change." Yuan Guifei knew her son's intentions, it was true that she didn't like Ouyang Xichao, not only because of her face, but because she couldn't get used to the cold face of the high-looking face, if compared with Ouyang Yunyi, it was really better to marry a county lord and come back to be useful to her son, but she always felt in her heart that she was afraid that her son would not be able to suppress it if she married a county lord, and it would be a big taboo if there was a fire in the backyard.

"Can the mother concubine go to find out her father's tone?" The eldest prince can't think of any good way now, "The person I can't get can't be cheaper." ”

"You have to be prepared." Yuan Guifei was also uneasy in her heart.

"That is, you can't let her enter the palace, and you can't let her marry the second child." The eldest prince lowered his eyes and pondered: "If you really can't do it, you can only do it." ”

"What do you want to do?" When she heard her son's words, Concubine Yuan was startled for no reason.

"Let her marry the third child and not be the second!" The eldest prince looked up at his mother and concubine, looking very solemn.

"The third child can't do it, if the third child gets Ouyang Ye's support, it will become a big obstacle for you." Yuan Guifei immediately overturned her son's words, "The third child has been raised by the emperor's side all these years, and there will be any variables if he can't keep it." "She couldn't let her son take the risk.

"The third child has not entered the court now, how can we wait for him to be sixteen years old, if we control it properly behind our backs, when he marries the concubine and then enters the court, his son has already gained a firm foothold in the court, where does he go to win over the courtiers as a yellow-mouthed child, and now the biggest hidden danger is the second child, but there are people in his mother's family who are on an errand in the northwest military camp, although it is not a very important position, but it is better than nothing." The eldest prince had already thought about who his worst enemy would be in the future.

Yuan Guifei was still relieved, and told her son to leave as soon as possible, and the harem could not keep a foreign man, even if it was her own son.

The streets and alleys are full of people in the city, and it is a lively and peaceful scene.

"Hey, why is the eldest lady of Ouyang Mansion a sister-in-law, she is only thirteen years old, and the one who came out is two years older than her, isn't it ranked in order of teeth? It's a surprise. Someone asked about the puzzle in their hearts.

"Alas, this is the old yellow calendar, you only know today." The person who answered shook his head in sympathy.

"Where is it late, didn't it come out of the palace, I thought it was also arranged in tooth order." The man replied.

"It's strange to say, it should be the concubine at the top, after all, the age is there." One person explained, "But since Miss Sister-in-law returned home, she changed the old calendar, and the eldest daughter called her the eldest lady, and the concubine naturally ranked second, so the Prime Minister agreed without saying anything." ”

"Isn't that a resentment between the concubines and concubines, and contradictions arise, how can the house live in peace?"

"You're really right, didn't there be such a thing at the palace banquet before." Someone gloated.

"There is a difference between the descendants since ancient times, which will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction."

"Tell me about the palace." There are good deeds urging.

"The county lord secretly told the sister in front of the ministers and their relatives that night, it was not the matter of the slaves of the Duobao Pavilion who bullied the master, and this matter was mentioned by the second concubine Yuanchen who was in charge of the harem."

"I want to see the jokes of the Prime Minister's Mansion, after all, it's an unspeakable thing, and it's been made known to everyone."

"I don't know what Concubine Yuan thinks, she actually gave the face of the prime minister in public, but the eldest prince wants to marry the concubine of the prime minister's family as a side concubine, but I don't know what kind of trouble this is."

"I heard that I was afraid that the county lord would enter the palace as a concubine, and everyone also knew the saint's favor for the county lord, in my opinion, it was the concern that caused the saint to be displeased, and the birthday banquet was just half over and left with the county lord." None of this is a secret, after all, it was difficult for so many people to be present that night to block the crowd.

"The county lord is only thirteen years old, how can it be so easy to enter the palace before he is even younger." Everyone laughed after hearing this, and their hearts were like a mirror, the girl fifteen and Lu heralded adulthood, can get married, the most important thing is to be able to round the house, thirteen years old tsk is still a hairy child, how can you get off the hair without growing up.

"The county lord is really bold, he gave the face of the second concubine of Yuanchen in public, and insinuated that Sister Shu's unvirtuous talent made the matter of Duobao Pavilion staged."

"How do the two sisters get along in the house, only the Liu family takes care of the backyard in the house, and the second daughter is her own child, and the county lord will inevitably suffer some grievances."

"Huh, you have to worry too much about this, who is the county lord, you should forget about Zhao Mingli, that is the lifeblood of the people as soon as he makes a move, and the cruel means still make people's hairs stand on end."

"Outside the mansion is outside the mansion, relying on the love of the prime minister and the saint, she has no scruples, and in the mansion, she can't help but play the prestige of the county lord's temper."

"Then you are very wrong, the first time you entered the Xiangfu County Lord, you were only eleven years old, for some reason, the Liu family found a discipline mother for her, but in fact, it was also kind but somehow it was done, but it made people gouge out the eyes of the grandmother, and the old lady was also a poor person, and she was gouged out of her eyes because she was not in a hurry to be treated."

"The most poisonous woman's heart, only eleven years old dare to disregard people's lives, it's really chilling." One person dissatisfied.

"I guess you must be from out of town, there are many twists and turns, and it's not for nothing that she, a little girl who has just entered Beijing, can be manipulated by others."

"Oh, what's that?" The man wondered, "Is there anything wrong with it?" ”

"You think, a little girl who is only eleven years old has been away for eleven years, why don't she raise her grandmother, Xiangfu is a family of Wang family, she is the master of the eight classics, you don't know the rules can learn slowly and you have to be in a hurry to find what to raise your grandmother, it must be that Aunt Liu is afraid that this daughter will come back and strengthen the status of her own daughter, so she will find a person who sends her own personal person from the beginning, and stays next to the county lord to do surveillance, the county lord is also a hard stubble, in front of the Liu family, he asked someone to gouge out the eyes of the raised grandmother, gave a frightening lesson, so far there is no reason to be wronged. Don't believe it, like those big families who have a clear distinction between the high and low, the concubines and concubines are trying their best to please their mothers in the house, and even more so they don't take the concubines and concubines as people, these dirty things abound, but no one says it, some things can't just look at the surface, but the inside is very deep! ”

"Brother Tai's words are true, this Zunyi County Lord is more than a step above the daughters of other clans, if you don't have the ability, how dare you cause trouble, you can see the signs from the Zhao family."

"Besides, as the county lord said, it's the housework of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how much trouble you want, and what does it matter to us ordinary people, it's just a pleasure."

"That's right, as the saying goes, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and everyone cares about the frost on the tiles."

"By the grace of the Holy Lord, do you think the lord of the county will be summoned to the palace?"

"Who can guess for sure?"

"Master." Hongming swept the people on the other side who were talking in full swing unhappily, and looked at his master worriedly.

"Let's go." Xi Chao doesn't care about what others say, she is her, she can do whatever she wants, how can she let others beak.

"Yes." Hongming and Luyin glanced at each other, and silently followed their master away.

The three of them walked slowly along the street, and Hongming and Luyin naturally found the shadow that had been embellished behind them in the teahouse, and whispered: "Master, what to do with the person behind him, it looks like Ah Yuan, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xi Chao frowned slightly, stopped, turned around and looked behind him, it was Ah Yuan.

Ah Yuan came to look for the county lord on the order of the prime minister, and he didn't dare to rush forward to disturb after following the two streets, so as not to be unprovoked and could only follow from afar, and found an opportunity to step forward, and when he saw the three masters and servants in front of him, he stopped and was startled, and stepped forward quickly.

"County Lord, my lord asked the county lord to go back to his house." Ah Yuan conveyed Ouyang Ye's meaning, and carefully observed this young lady who didn't even care about her own master.

"What?" Xi Chao's short two words showed her impatience, she was very busy inspecting the shop today.

"The lord said that he had something important to discuss with the county lord, and asked the county lord to return to his house." Ah Yuan couldn't help but shudder when he was stared at by Xi Chao coldly.

Xi Chao stared at Ah Yuan silently, unable to think of why Ouyang Ye was in a hurry to find her, and said after a while: "Evening." "The exact time was not given.

Ah Yuan had no choice but to respond first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay his life when he went back, "The little one will go back to the house and inform Xiangye." ”

Xichao no longer looked at Ah Yuan and turned around in the direction he came, and Hongming and Luyin hurriedly followed.

Ah Yuanjian straightened his waist after the three of them left, wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, and secretly felt that the county lord had become even more fierce than before, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

Ah Yuan didn't know that after two years, it was normal for the Xi Dynasty to have changed, but it was not as sharp as he imagined, and the momentum of the Xi Dynasty at this moment had been somewhat restrained, and the sword was already not to be underestimated before it was unsheathed.

Ouyang Ye went back to the house early today to wait for the Xi Dynasty, and the master and servant of the Xi Dynasty went to the Prime Minister's Mansion after dinner, and even if he went back, he didn't plan to stay.

The two of them were relatively speechless in the study, and Ouyang Ye became more and more unable to see through the titular daughter in front of him, and sighed lightly: "Why don't you go back to the house and tell me when you return to Shangjing?" "As soon as you open your mouth, you are questioning.

Xi Chao raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Ouyang Ye and said, "Why do you want to tell you?" There was a bit of ridicule in the shallow words.

"Don't forget who you are now!" Ouyang Ye couldn't control his feelings a little once he was in Shangxi Dynasty, "The matter of Duobao Pavilion was originally turned into a small matter because of a big matter, and you wanted to make it known to everyone, and you made the Prime Minister lose face." ”

"Oh, what a sin to be added." There was an inexhaustible condensation in the soft words, and Xi Chao sneered: "Who relied on power to oppress people and lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you know better than me." ”

Ouyang Ye was stunned, knowing that he had said the wrong thing before, even then it was impossible for him to apologize to the girl in front of him, so he said: "You know that she is a person who can't be carried clearly, just laugh it off, make such a big battle, do you have a light on your face!" ”

"If she deceives me, I have to endure it, why, I have never tolerated the word in my life." There was disdain and anger in the dark pupils of the Xi Dynasty, and his voice was indeed light and calm.

"If you don't enter the genealogy, you will be a member of the Ouyang family for a day, what are you without the Ouyang family?" Ouyang Ye was extremely annoyed and rebuked loudly: "You can do whatever you want in the mansion, it's better to be more restrained outside the mansion, and if you continue to be unscrupulous like this, don't regret it until the day." ”

"You're threatening me!" Xi Chao's eyes shot a terrifying sharp light, and Ouyang Ye couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Don't forget what your identity is, Ouyang Yun has repeatedly provoked her, if it weren't for the fact that you are still loyal to the Lord, how would she be allowed to live to this day." Xi Chao's flat voice was suitable for the cold cold.

Ouyang Ye was shocked, blaming himself for getting carried away, and he couldn't take care of anything when his anger came up, the ancestor in front of him was a murderous star who didn't blink.

"There's no next time, you should know." On the one hand, Xi Chao is talking about Ouyang Ye's next offense, and on the other hand, he is also talking about Ouyang Yun's repeated ignorance.

"What did you call me back?" Xi Chao didn't come back to listen to Ouyang Ye's reprimand.

"Where do you live now?" Ouyang Ye calmed down and asked, "Why don't you go back to the house?" ”

"If you're just asking about it, you don't have to send someone to find me back in the future." Xi Chao said: "It's up to me whether I can go back to my house or not, and I don't bother the prime minister." ”

"How can the daughter of the Prime Minister live outside!" If Ouyang Ye hadn't been afraid that the Xi Dynasty would have caused trouble outside, he wouldn't have let her go back to the house, and he would have made the house restless because of the quarrel with Ouyang Yun.

"No one knows where the rumors are." How could Xi Chao not understand Ouyang Ye's intentions.

"If there is no Fuchu, I can be a lot quieter." Xi Chao glanced at Ouyang Ye meaningfully.

Ouyang Ye couldn't, he could only watch Xi Chao turn around and leave, but he couldn't say a single reason to leave him, and couldn't help but sigh at his failure as a nominal father.

"Master, Ouyang Yun was a little out of order when she returned home on the night of the banquet, so she asked the doctor to prescribe a calming decoction." Hong Ming said in a low voice what had happened in the mansion in the past few days.

"Keep an eye on it." Xi Chao didn't care about these little things, she was afraid that villains like Liu's mother and daughter would make trouble, although there would be no major incidents, but she would also make herself troubled.

"Yes." Hong Ming replied

On Shui Yueju's side, Wang Ma ran into the house in a hurry, dismissed Yahuan and closed the door, seeing that Ouyang Yun was also there, she looked at Aunt Liu with a slight hesitation.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Liu knew that something was happening when she saw that Mother Wang's expression was wrong, and she didn't avoid her daughter.

"The county lord came back, went directly into Xiangye's study and talked for a long time, and just left." Wang's mother reported the truth.

"But what did they say in the study?" That's what Aunt Liu cares about the most.

"No, only Ah Yuan was left guarding outside the door, so it's hard to inquire." Wang Ma said: "But some girls heard the quarrel, and I don't know what it was for." ”

"That's enough." Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said: "There is a quarrel that shows that the master is teaching that cheap girl a lesson, and I still think that she will stay in the house, at least stay one night away." ”

"Why did Dad let the slut go, why didn't he punish her?" Ouyang Yun's expression became cold for a moment when he mentioned Xi Chao.

"How many pairs of eyes are staring outside, even if your father wants to deal with that cheap girl, it's not good to do it now, and reprimanding is indispensable." Aunt Liu took her daughter's hand and persuaded her in a good voice: "Don't worry, there is always a chance to clean up that cheap girl, the most important thing for you now is to prepare a dowry, although the side concubine is customized, but you have to pass your eyes." ”

"Hmph, wait until I marry into the Great Prince's Mansion to see how arrogant the slut is." Ouyang Yun said viciously.

"It's late tonight, go back and have a good rest, don't think about waiting to get married." Aunt Liu was afraid that her daughter would be crazy again, so she didn't let her think about anything else.

"My mother will accompany me tomorrow to see how the wedding dress embroidered by the embroidered mother is." When Ouyang Yun talked about marriage, her heart was full of joy, and her eyebrows were full of smiles.

"Okay." Aunt Liu smiled and sent her daughter back to the room.

"Mother Wang, what do you think is the reason why the master let the cheap girl come back this time?" Aunt Liu frowned slightly in thought.

"According to the old slave's opinion, one is to let her go back to live in the house, and the other is to reprimand her intentions for the young lady's affairs." Wang Ma said what she thought in her heart.

"Didn't anyone find out where the cheap girl lives?" Aunt Liu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything abnormal, so she re-sorted out what had happened in the past few days.

"The people who sent her didn't even see her figure." Wang Ma said: "If it is discovered, it will not be justified. "I'm very frightened of the county lord's methods.

"Forget it." Aunt Liu rubbed her forehead with a headache and said, "The most important thing now is Yun'er's marriage." ”

"Yes, Miss's marriage is important." Wang Ma also thinks that the royal marriage cannot be stubble.

Xi Chao, who returned to Fengyang Building, was still reading books at this time, and two years was enough time for her to enrich a lot, and some of the content in her mind had been practiced and proved to be useful, she didn't have to think about where the things in her mind came from and how they were imprinted in her mind, she just needed to understand that those things that seemed weird were extremely useful to her, and they were able to help the people around her, and two years was enough for her to absorb those things, and she benefited a lot.

"Master, the emperor asked when the master would return to the palace?" Hongming replaced the cold tea and handed over the freshly made lotus seed soup.

"In two days." Returning to the palace too early will cause some people to be unnecessarily suspicious, and Xi Chao knows it.

"It's getting late, it's time for the master to rest." Hongming called Hongrui to come in and clean up and make the bed himself.

There were still lights and candles in the imperial study, and the snap was particularly abrupt in the quiet hall, and Mu Haoyu angrily threw down the music in his hand.

"The harem is getting bolder and bigger." There was a cold chill in his voice.

"The emperor is angry." Li Desheng poured a cup of tea and served it.

"It's hard for me not to be angry, but the second child actually hit Chao'er's head with the idea." Mu Haoyu really hated that he couldn't kill the second son who didn't make it.

"What did the second prince do?" Li Desheng looked suspicious.

"Look at it." Mu Haoyu motioned for Li Desheng to take a look.

Li Desheng opened it and looked at it, and suddenly his face became extremely ugly, not for anything else, it was written that the second prince wanted to marry Xi Dynasty as a concubine.

"How dare he think of my Xi Dynasty!" Mu Haoyu was angry, obviously forgetting the fact that the two were brothers and sisters at the same time.

"The second prince is too eager." Li Desheng sighed: "I was pressed by the eldest prince, and I have to marry the prime minister's concubine as a side concubine." The meaning is self-explanatory.

"I'm afraid that the beast boss has taken advantage of the big and tried to test me." Mu Haoyu aired.
