Chapter 656: Dog Eats Dog
Xu Yan entered the palace like this, without the scenery she imagined, and there was no high position. It was just a small cyan sedan chair, and the eunuchs in the palace entered through the side door of the palace. There was no palace person to greet him, let alone the emperor's cousin.
And the palace where Xu Yan lives looks gorgeous, but because it is only the position of a nobleman, he lives with the other four nobles. This night, Xu Yan cleaned up early, wearing bright makeup and a faint fragrance of roses.
I didn't even dare to use it for dinner, for fear of indecent behavior. Who knew that Xu Yan waited all night hungry, but still did not wait for the emperor.
Xu Yan was extremely aggrieved, what did her cousin mean, and she didn't know how to understand herself at all. It's enough to give yourself a noble position, and my cousin didn't come on the first night of entering the palace, isn't this a joke to let the rest of the harem see me?
Especially that He family, what a bullshit queen, this qiē should have been her own, if it wasn't for her plan at the beginning, today's queen would be herself. The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and the more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became.
Liu Yue looked at the two letters in front of the table, one was Mo Li's and the other was Nangong Ming's. Liu Yue didn't know what to say, Mo Li always brought happiness to herself, talking about the anecdotes of fighting in the northern Xinjiang, and how cold it was in the northern Xinjiang.
Liu Yue felt that although she had not gone to northern Xinjiang, she was clear about how strong the wind was in northern Xinjiang, how thick the snow was, and how blue the sky was. Liu Yue likes to read Mo Li's letters, which are very simple and true.
But Nangong Ming's letter, every time I see Liu Yue, I feel hot, because this is not the letter that Liu Yue wants to see. Every word in the letter will make Liu Yue afraid. What kind of emotion this is, Liu Yue herself can't tell.
So many years have passed, why is Nangong Ming still so persistent? Did I agree to Nangong Ming's conditions before, was it wrong? This gave him hope, but it hurt him.
Liu Yue still tore up the letter, and then read it helplessly, and sighed again after reading it. In fact, Xie Ruoyu is not bad, but he is a little ruthless.
If she is a good one, it is not bad to match Nangong Ming. It will not let Nangong Ming until now, there is no one around him who knows cold and heat, and there is no child. That's it, there is a definite number for every qiē. In my mother's words, fate hasn't arrived yet!
Liu Yue slowly spread out the paper and began to reply to the two of them. In the letter, there are still caring and intimate words, from clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Of course, it will also talk about the situation of C's son, but the letter to Nangong Ming has changed from two words to one sentence. Instead of giving Nangong Ming hope, if you don't decide to tell him, the fate is exhausted, and there is no need to be persistent.
The movement of the Xu Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and the Fu family is either marrying with the various mansions, or feasting the noblewomen of the capital. Mrs. Xu is now proud, and even those princesses, seeing Mrs. Xu, have to be polite.
She is the emperor's maternal grandmother and the mother of the Empress Dowager Xu. Now at this time and that time, even if the princess is what, she can't give Mrs. Xu some face.
Liu Yue had to sit with those ladies and say false and polite words, but the Xu family's banquet would not work if she didn't come.
Fortunately, there are also some familiar and more stable ladies, Liu Yue can chat with everyone. In fact, no one wants to come to see Mrs. Xu's spring breeze, but Mrs. Xu wants to show it to everyone, so she can only watch it patiently.
The Lin family doesn't care, anyway, when the grandmother of the Xu family went to Wu Mansion to see her grandson a few days ago, she showed off her vigorously. The things given to the grandson are all rewarded by the palace.
Although the Lin family is not happy, but when people send things to their grandsons, is it difficult to put on a stinky face? can only reluctantly accompany the smiling face, fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law is not stupid, and she did not take it in the house because of this. Otherwise, the Lin family will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts, this will be the scenery of the Xu family, but how long will this scenery last?
Liu Yue drank the tea in the cup, and did not feel that the tea was delicious because the tea was good. On the contrary, I feel that the Xu family has been too showy, and such a precious tea is used to entertain guests, which is not what it is.
"Yue'er, are the two children okay?" Lin asked with concern.
Liu Yue put down the tea bowl: "It's okay, these days are much better." Brother Jing has gained weight again! ”
At the mention of his grandson, Wu Lin's face was happy, "No, I felt a lot heavier when I hugged him this morning." ”
"My sister now has a grandson, it's really enviable!" Liu Yue's face was happy, Brother Jing is indeed cute, and Liu Yue has also hugged her, but her arms will hurt if she hugs her for a long time.
Wu Lin smiled proudly: "It's not, but Yue'er, you can't envy this, your two boys will have to wait for more than ten years to marry a wife and have children?" ”
Liu Yue pretended to be pityful, "No, it seems that I have to wait!" ”
While the two were talking, a lady on the side whispered: "I heard that no, the emperor carried Xu Yan into the palace again." But fortunately, he is just a nobleman, and he can't turn over any storms! ”
The other lady looked disdainful, "Maybe there is Xu Ge Lao, and there is the relationship between the Xu family and the emperor."
It's not impossible to be a queen, the emperor has always relied on the Xu family, and he is even more obedient to Xu Gelao's words, if Xu Gelao opens his mouth, can the emperor still be rejected? ”
The chubby woman on the side couldn't help but pity, "No, it's hard to have a queen in the He family, and maybe it will fall one day, and I don't know how the He family's face will be put at that time." ”
"Whatever? The things in this capital are the same every day, and we can still watch the show. After speaking, everyone talked about other things, and stopped talking about Queen He and Xu Yan.
However, the Lin family couldn't help but whisper: "Xu Yan is not favored in the palace, I heard that Queen He is pressed to death." ”
Liu Yue smiled coldly: "The He family and the Xu family are not good things, just watch them eat dogs!" ”
Lin thinks about it, when the emperor seized the throne that day, Lord He was the same as Xu Ge Lao, and supported the emperor with all his might. I don't know why the Emperor Taishang looked away at the beginning and chose the He family as the prince's Yue family.
The He family is the same utilitarian, and it is no different from the Xu family. But think about it, as long as the crown prince becomes the emperor, the He family will be able to produce the queen, can the He family not support it?
Now it depends on how Xu Yan and Queen He are in the palace, and of course, the He Mansion and the Xu Mansion outside the palace will also fight openly and secretly. The more intense the fight between these two houses, the better, so that everyone can have a good show. Isn't it?
The capital still seems to be calm, and the spring is full of dark tides. First of all, the ministers began to focus on the emperor's harem, and asked the emperor to choose concubines and spread out for the royal family. Thinking about it, the emperor and the queen have been married for many years, and it seems that the queen's stomach has not moved.
This royal heir is a big troublemaker, which is related to the design of the country, and the ministers don't want the emperor to be like the emperor, the heir is too thin.
Although the emperor did not object. But it seems that the enthusiasm is not good, and I always feel that the ministers are too lenient. is so anxious to let himself choose a concubine, and talk about the heir, is it difficult for the ministers to feel that they can't give birth and make the concubine conceive.
It's that men are unhappy and make people doubt their abilities, so although the emperor didn't object, he was very disgusted in his heart. However, the selection of concubines is necessary, which is related to the balance between the former dynasty and the harem.
And the matter of choosing a concubine is naturally handled by the queen. The emperor didn't want to pay attention to these things at all, as if he was the emperor, and even what daughter he slept with had to look at the faces of the ministers.
In order to win over the ministers, they had to sleep with the daughters of the minister's house, so that the minister's daughter would be favored. This made the emperor feel like a stallion, he had to spoil the concubines and concubines, and he had to complete the task.
Empress He had long expected the matter of choosing a concubine, the emperor ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the previous dynasty, choosing a concubine was the best way to appease the ministers.
Therefore, the queen is very fast, and directly chooses the concubines for the emperor, and the grade is determined according to the concubine's mother's love power.
When Queen He looked at the beautiful portraits of those concubines, she felt very uncomfortable, but she had to continue to position herself and choose concubines with dignified character and outstanding appearance.
You can't send any rags to the emperor's arms, if the concubine is too ugly or too honest, it will make people say that the queen is intolerable. Therefore, it is really difficult to choose a concubine.
After several days of hard work, Queen He finally selected the candidate and set the position.
was going to show it to the emperor, but who knew that the emperor didn't look at it directly, and said that the queen was in charge. Although Queen He is happy, this is because the emperor does not care about these concubines who are about to enter the palace, which is naturally a good thing for the queen.
But at the same time, Empress He was worried that the emperor was too willful, but whenever the emperor felt unhappy, the emperor would not do it, or ignore it. How can we shoulder the burden of the country?
After the queen chose the candidates, she naturally issued an order to inform these chosen families and let them prepare. Waiting to enter the palace at any time to serve the emperor, but at this time, some people were not convinced, and some people said that the candidates selected by the queen were mainly people close to the He family.
Or that the queen crossed the rules and didn't show the emperor a look, so she set the position. Although Empress He was aggrieved, she also understood in her heart that when she first became a queen, some people questioned that it was normal for her to issue a decree, and these people were just bullying herself when she first became a queen, and she didn't dare to win people lightly.
The queen didn't want to be enemies of these ministers, so she went directly to the emperor and cried. The emperor was even more dissatisfied when he saw that his queen had been bullied by the ministers. Since he is the emperor and the king of a country, why should he be bound by these ministers?
After the emperor appeased the queen, he only felt very tired, he used to watch his father deal with the affairs of the court, and he didn't think how tired his father was, but he really waited until the emperor himself dealt with these major affairs in the court, and then he felt powerless.
There are many things that the emperor doesn't know how to make decisions at all, and he doesn't know how to deal with them. So looking at the mountains of twists and turns on the dragon case, the emperor sighed weakly. He turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and pass on Xu Ge Lao!"
The eunuchs are used to it, and the emperor must ask Xu Ge Lao to accompany him when he deals with the government every day. This excerpt is said to be handled by the emperor, but in fact, it is all Xu Ge Lao who is making the idea.
The eunuchs have no opinion on the emperor so much, although they have some complaints in their hearts, but this national event has nothing to do with the eunuchs.
The Emperor Taishang gasped weakly, "The emperor really showed all the excerpts to Xu Ge Lao, and asked Xu Ge Lao to accompany a batch of excerpts every day?" ”R1152
