"Big brother, you have to be the master of our mother and son!" Zhao Mingli's mother, Wu, knelt on the ground and cried.

The eldest brother called by the Wu family is Zhao Qi, the eldest family of this generation, the Zhao family is considered a noble family, and the side branch is also Zhao Mingli's father's branch, because the Zhao family's son is thin, after Zhao Mingli's father died, he brought the mother and son who depended on each other to live with the Zhao family's house. Zhao Qi only has one son who is one year older than Zhao Mingli, and the two are quite natural to play together, but they don't want Zhao Mingli to be angry the older he is, which really confirms the sentence, when he is young, it may not be good, Zhao Qi is afraid that Zhao Mingli will bring his only son badly, so he dragged the princess's face and sent him to study in the Chinese school. Zhao Mingli somehow became more and more lazy and lazy, and began to bully women and men outside, which was ridiculous. Fortunately, no one was killed, and Zhao Qi turned a blind eye to this nephew and didn't control it much. Besides, this Duan princess Zhao Ya is the sister of Zhao Qi's mother, and since the first emperor married Duan Wang, she has often brought her mother's family with her, so Zhao Qi can sit in the post of inspector.

Now Zhao Mingli has been castrated into a eunuch for no reason, and the side of this branch is completely cut off from the incense, although Zhao Mingli is a little sneering, but after all, he is a descendant of the Zhao family, how can he swallow this breath, isn't this a slap in the face of the Zhao family!

"Okay, I have sent someone to investigate this matter, and the descendants of the Zhao family must not be tolerated if they dare to move!" Zhao Qi put down his cruel words, and Wu heard the promise of Zhiqu's departure.

The matter couldn't be concealed at all, not to mention that Xi Chao didn't intend to hide it, and when he saw Ouyang Ye, he knew what it was about.

"Why are you so impulsive!" As soon as Ouyang Ye heard the news, he knew that it was Xi Chao's hand, and who else in this Shangjing could do something that cut off people's lives just because of a word.

"Impulsive, ridiculous!" The Xi Dynasty has run out of patience for Ouyang Ye's repeated visits, "The blatant responsibility of the emperor is enough for his Zhao family to be beheaded." ”

Ouyang Ye stiffened when he heard this: "But your current identity is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion." "Again and again, if you don't go out, you will get into trouble as soon as you go out, how can he have time to clean up the aftermath.

"I am the daughter of the prime minister, can't the prime minister solve such a trivial matter?" Xi Chao said coldly: "There is also a little bit of punishment for the Liu family and the Liu family, and if it is committed against me again, it will not be punished a little." The words fell and let Hongrui send off the guests.

Ouyang Ye is not without eyes and ears in the mansion, he is also aware of the scene that happened in the teahouse, he originally thought that it was just a coincidence, and he had more tongues, and the meaning of listening to Xi Chao's words was actually purposeful. Since the Xi Dynasty came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has been in a constant situation, and he has grown a little more gray hair for this, which is really worrying.

"Madam, Xiangye went back to the study when he came out of Pinglan Garden." Mother Wang got the report from the people outside Lanyuan and immediately replied to Aunt Liu, "It doesn't look very good, I don't know what it's for?" ”

"Someone is going to check." Aunt Liu didn't believe that the lord would go to see the cheap girl for no reason, something must have happened.

"It's already staring." Wang's mother has always been thoughtful, and said: "The servant woman who bought today heard an interesting story on the street. He explained that Zhao Mingli had become a eunuch.

Aunt Liu was surprised when she heard this: "The Zhao family is the maiden family of Princess Duan, who is so bold and dares to move the Zhao family?" ”

"No, people on the street are speculating about the man's identity." Wang Ma whispered: "According to the old slave, there must be something strange in this matter, otherwise who can be ruthless and directly abolish people." ”

Aunt Liu was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "The three of them also went out that night, do you have any impression of the time after you come back?" ”

After Aunt Liu mentioned that Wang Ma thought about it again, she exclaimed, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a low voice: "Madame thinks that the one did it?" ”

"Not impossible." Aunt Liu always blamed the matter on that slut, and she always vaguely felt that something must have happened to the old man who suddenly went to Lan Yuan, otherwise how could his face be wrong.

Wang Ma thought about it carefully and said: "There is not much difference in the hour, and it makes a little unreasonable for her to go to that kind of dirty place." "Not to mention the waste of people.

"Let people inquire about it, pay attention to the people around the master, and see what they are doing." Whenever there is a chance to rectify that slut, Aunt Liu will never let it go.

Wang Ma nodded, and with uneasy feelings in her heart, she went out to find someone who was firmly in place to inquire.

"Master, Aunt Liu sent someone out." Hongming opened his mouth, because he was not at ease, he had been sending people to monitor the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and Aunt Liu was naturally included in it.

"Hmph, still don't give up." Xi Chao has always ignored fools like Aunt Liu.

Xichao still goes out early and returns late, what it should be is what it should be, as if that thing was not done by her, she is not afraid of people to check, and what can be found out after checking, even if she finds out on her head, she is a dignified prime minister, whether it is Princess Duan or the Zhao family, what can she do with her, and since she dares to do it, she knows the consequences, how can she do without two brushes in her hand.

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the shop opened by the Xi Dynasty has been on the right track, so that she doesn't have to worry about it, the affairs of the Zhao family have not stopped, and even the Duanwang Mansion has also come forward, and still hasn't found out a clue, which is not in a hurry for the Zhao family.

Zhao Mingli was sober, and his brain was completely stupid when he was frightened by this incident, and he stared at a certain place all day long, no matter who called him, he was so anxious that Wu's eyes were swollen from crying.

"The person has still not been found, and I don't know when I will find out?" At the wonton stew stall, the two chatted about the Zhao family.

"But you have to wait." It doesn't matter if it's already hanging high, and I'm happy to watch the play.

"yes." As soon as the words fell, he turned his head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a man and two women coming out of Duobao Pavilion, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and was shocked on the spot.

"What's wrong with you?" The person next to him asked with concern.

"Then, that, you see, does it look like it?" The incoherence of the words spoken is puzzling.

"What are you talking about?" The man followed his gaze and saw a few backs that did not react for a while.

"Well, why can't you see your face clearly?" The man patted his thigh regretfully, leaned over to his friend, and his voice was extremely low, "Just now, I saw the three people who came out of the Duobao Pavilion, they happened to be a man and two women, although the woman couldn't see her face clearly, but the man, no, no, no, it should be a teenager, yes, a teenager, but a little like the one I saw on the Red Street last time." He happened to be there that day and night to witness a qiē.

"Really?" The listener screamed, and suddenly felt that the news was too exciting, and hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"I looked like it, and I didn't have time to see it clearly." That's humane.

"Go, go, go up and see, maybe it's not just you think it's like it." The man excitedly pulled his friend and left.

Many people saw what happened to Zhao Mingli that night, and naturally paid special attention to the appearance of one of the protagonists. Xichao's undisguised behavior after the accident is not that no one noticed, even if it was confirmed, he didn't dare to say it rashly, for no other reason, it was nothing more than the fear of the family behind the teenager, and this matter would be delayed again and again, because there was no conclusive evidence to prove that it was done by the teenager, and it turned out that some witnesses could not be found for a while, after all, Red Street is a chaotic place, and there are many people coming and going, but the other protagonist who can act as a witness is now a fool at all, how can he prove it, and how to prove it, there is no good way for a while, The Xi Dynasty will travel more openly.

"Yes, yes, yes." The two took a shortcut into the alley, overtook the Xi Dynasty and the three of them waited in front, standing in front of the stall and pretending to look at the things on the stall, and paying attention to other places from time to time.

"I have a very good look in my eyes." The man said triumphantly.

"Let's go, follow and see whose house it is." The man was determined to pull his friend along.

"Okay, you're not afraid of being discovered." If you know it in your heart, you can get it, what kind of troubled water.

The man was right when he thought about it, and gave up stupidly.

"You little slut, even you dare to take Miss Ben seriously!" pinched a few handfuls of the little girl rings fiercely, and broke a set of good porcelain that I just got back the day before yesterday, but I still didn't understand my hatred.

When Aunt Liu entered the house, she saw the debris and debris on the ground and the little girl ring who was kneeling on the broken porcelain piece and crying red eyes, the sharp porcelain piece cut the leg of the girl ring, and the blood beads soaked through the pants and ooped out.

"Yun'er." Aunt Liu frowned, raised her hand to send a room of frightened maids, and pulled her daughter to sit down.

"What's going on here?" Since Xiu'er's incident, Ouyang Yun was frightened, her temperament became more and more irritable, and she threw things and scolded the maids around her at every turn. Today's daughter is still as well-behaved and lovely as before, and this is to blame on the little slut.

"It's not good for her to make tea, and that look is annoying." Ouyang Yun snorted angrily and said, "I don't have a useful maid ring by my side." ”

Aunt Liu was secretly frightened, the Yahuan around her daughter was twice as much as that of Pinglanyuan, and the Yahuan who was punished was even more every two or three days, and the Yahuan in how to use it couldn't withstand her daughter's indiscriminate beating and scolding.

"Yun'er, my mother asked Wang Ma to buy a few maid rings from outside the house and send them back, so as not to understand the rules." What can Aunt Liu say, where is the mother willing to blame her daughter, she has to rely on the child's temperament.

"What about the slut?" Ouyang Yun still couldn't forget what Xi Chao had done to her.

"It's out, wouldn't it be better if she wasn't in the house." Aunt Liu took her daughter's hand and said, "My mother came today to tell you about tomorrow's flower viewing party." ”

All the ladies who have official status in Beijing like to have a banquet or something for various reasons, which can not only get closer to their husbands in their careers, but also listen to gossip to pass the time.

The flower viewing party happened to be in the Duanwang Mansion, and the princess came forward to feast on the wives of officials above the fourth grade in the court, although Aunt Liu was the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion but there was no old lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion and no wife, so she took advantage of it, and there was a post sent to the house for each banquet.

"Tomorrow, you will dress up and go to Duanwang's Mansion with your mother." Aunt Liu asked Yahuan to bring a set of freshly beaten pearl heads to her daughter.

"And the slut is going too?" Ouyang Yun couldn't put it down when she saw the exquisitely made pearl head in the box, and didn't forget to ask the person she hated the most.

"If she wants to go, her mother won't take her there." Aunt Liu knew her daughter's worries, after all, the slut was a daughter who had entered the family tree, how would she deal with herself if she went to Nayun'er.

"That's good." Ouyang Yun was satisfied.

"When you go to the palace tomorrow, you have to pay more attention, take out the shelf of the prime minister's daughter, don't let people look down on it." Aunt Liu was afraid that her daughter would have an accident when she arrived at the palace, so she gave a few extra advice.

"Got it, mother." Ouyang Yun responded to his heart but didn't think so, his eyes only stared at the thumb-sized pearl on his hand and squinted.

Aunt Liu saw that her daughter didn't care about it, so she couldn't help but ask: "Please be the family members of officials above the fourth grade, don't take it seriously, maybe which lady will be your future mother-in-law in the future." ”

Ouyang Yun came back to her senses and asked, "Have you invited the sons of each family?" ”

"There should be a few sons of the right age." Aunt Liu didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, but "Pay more attention to your conversations, those young ladies are all human spirits." "I'm afraid that my daughter will say the wrong thing and make people look down on her, after all, my daughter is a concubine, and there is a difference in identity between her and those young ladies, if it weren't for the fact that the lord has not renewed the string so far, she would not have such a face to see the official wife.

"Well, I know in my heart that I won't lose the face of the Prime Minister." It's not the first time Ouyang Yun has followed Aunt Liu out to participate in a banquet, there are some things she knows more or less, as long as the slut doesn't go, she is like a fish in water.

After telling her daughter Aunt Liu, she went back to her house, she had to prepare the clothes she would wear tomorrow, but she couldn't be rude in front of Princess Duan for the first time.

The next day, Aunt Liu took Ouyang Yun, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, to Duanwang's Mansion in a carriage, and walked in with the mother-in-law who came to greet her. Nineteen years old has already been engaged, and the marriage will be completed next month.

Aunt Liu didn't look down on those concubines, but now she regrets it a little, there is a man in Duanwangfu, and he will inherit the throne of Duanwang in the future, and marry him in the future, so she will marry the prince of a dynasty, that is a very noble person, but unfortunately, pity, what is the use, only blame yourself for being short-sighted and not seeing the wealth in front of you. If only I could meet a few official sons today, I would go to Yemen with my daughter to be a householder.

Liu's mother and daughter had their own plans in their hearts, and they followed their mother-in-law into the banquet place without showing their faces, and several official wives and ladies had already arrived.

Everyone greeted each other politely, sat down, tasted the best clouds, used exquisite snacks, chatted with a few ladies, and waited for everyone to arrive.

"The princess has arrived." After a while, everyone gathered, and Princess Duan got the letter and slowly walked into the house.

Princess Duan walked in with Shi Shiran, the hand of the maid ring, holding a fairy peach bun that is often combed by noble ladies nowadays, the black and thick hair is more and more human-faced, obliquely inserted with a red gold phoenix inlaid with beads and filigree carved steps to shake the hairpin, the raindrop-shaped vermilion ruby falls between the forehead, and the chain with a complex pattern carved into a pure gold material is strung together, and the eyes are more and more lined like autumn water, wearing a set of red palace clothes, the material is the best Shu brocade, and the clothes are embroidered with rich and auspicious patterns outlined with gold threads. Just looking at the grandeur of this whole body is staggering.

All the ladies and ladies gathered up and saluted Princess Duan, and when the princess sat down, everyone returned to the table and sat down.

Several wives of first-class officials said a lot of flattering good things about the princess with a smile, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and there was a sentence about the new anecdotes they had heard.

I don't know who picked the head, so I talked about the interesting story of the son of the Zhao family a few days ago, and a few people with eyes glanced at the princess and were silent, after all, the princess and the Zhao family are close to each other, although it is a side branch, but everyone knows that the Zhao family is thin, otherwise they would not let Zhao Mingli do anything wrong.

Princess Duan felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard it at first glance, but when she thought that she could find out more or less about the situation from the words of these official wives, she didn't say anything to stop it.

Seeing Princess Duan sitting quietly and tasting tea, the official lady who spoke before breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "That person is too vicious. ”

"Yes, no one has been found so far, and it has been full of wind and rain." Someone answered.

"I heard that there were a lot of people who saw the incident that night, why didn't anyone report it?"

"It's just that they're all greedy people who shoot to death."

"Probably because I was afraid of angering the boy, I couldn't eat and walked around."

"If you can shoot without any scruples, how dare you do it without some background."

The ladies and ladies were talking about it, but there was no new news, and Princess Duan listened a little impatient and changed the topic.

The women are not talking about clothes and jewelry or talking about whose young lady is virtuous and handsome, and each of them reviews the news for their children, and is optimistic about the character of the young lady and son, so as to achieve the purpose of marriage.

After lunch, Princess Duan mentioned that since it was a flower-viewing banquet, she could not lose the protagonist, and led the ladies and ladies to the small garden to watch the newly cultivated flowers.

Aunt Liu's mother and daughter followed Princess Duan affectionately, and from time to time said some funny things to attract attention, the big tree of Duanwangfu can be held firmly, although it can't be married, but how can people also be relatives of the emperor, if they can get the attention of Princess Duan, maybe their daughter can become the princess, even if it is a side concubine, it is better than marrying a few officials.

Everyone walked all the way and said, lining the surrounding scenery is extraordinarily beautiful, suddenly there was a commotion not far ahead, everyone stopped curiously, Princess Duan frowned slightly, and called the personal grandmother around her to see what happened.

When the princess walked through the branch, the noise had stopped, and she saw two people facing each other, one was her own prince with a guard, and a coarse cloth man was tied to the ground, and on the other side were a man and two women, who did not seem to be very old.

As soon as Princess Duan saw the young man, she felt extremely uncomfortable, not for anything else Zhao Mingli's trouble, her mother's family had to urge again, and everyone outside looked at the excitement of Duanwang's mansion, how could she not be in a hurry.

The ladies and ladies of the officials leaned forward to see what was going on, and when Duan Wang Ye looked at the young man who was very good-looking just by the side face, he was full of doubts in his heart, what kind of identity did that young man dare to face Duan Wang Ye.

Aunt Liu, who was following Princess Duan, recognized the young man who made her extremely hated at first sight, and secretly cursed when she would appear in Duanwang's mansion, and it seemed that there was friction with Duanwangye.

Before Aunt Liu came back to her senses from her doubts, Ouyang Yun saw that the young man didn't want to blurt out suddenly: "That cheap" suddenly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly changed her words, "Why is she here?" The subordinates subconsciously had to pull Aunt Liu's sleeve and wait for an explanation, but they didn't want to attract the attention of the ladies and ladies with just one sentence, and their curiosity became stronger and stronger.
