The old prince raised his head, "Hand over the keys to all parts of the palace, and from now on, Concubine Yao will take care of the palace." You...... It's so careless, even when the king returns, there is dust everywhere in the upper room. ”

"Father...... Father ...... "Zixia didn't expect that the appearance of the old prince would ask her to hand over the management of the palace as soon as she opened her mouth, and to ask for the keys of each room.

The old prince said sharply: "Don't let this king say it a second time." You are an outsider, what's the matter with taking care of the palace? ”

He said she was an outsider?

Zixia couldn't tell the pain and shook her head silently.

She is married, but she is not an outsider, she is his eldest daughter.

The old prince raised his hand and patted it on the table, "Isn't it that you are greedy for the property of the palace behind your back on this king?" Otherwise, why don't you dare to hand it in? Hand over the keys first, the greedy property, can be returned as soon as possible, in the past, you got married, your mother gave you a lot of dowry, 6,000 acres of fertile land, more than 20 shops, isn't it enough? ”

Zixia didn't understand how to see her father again, it was like a different person, cold to her, as if she was looking at a stranger.

In the warm hall on one side, two young and beautiful women came out, with haggard faces, looking at the old prince and Zixia carefully.

What's going on?

Why is it like a different father?

Zixia was full of doubts. Carefully pulled out a large set of keys from his bosom.

Concubine Yao's nursing mother moved closer a few steps, took it, and said, "Lord Xie." He said thank you, and there was no half of respect in his demeanor.

Concubine Yao said coldly: "Please ask the lord to hand over the deed of sale of the people in the mansion, the title deed under the name of the palace, and the house deed to the concubine." ”

Zixia looked at the old prince, but he stood with his hands in his hands, with his back to Zixia. The old prince was confused in his heart, thinking that Zixia's facial features were not half similar to himself, the more he thought about it, the colder his heart became.

She was born in July after his marriage to Princess Ye, and Princess Ye said that Zixia was born prematurely. The old prince can still vaguely remember her young appearance when she was born, she was much younger than Yu Wenyan when she was born, but the boy was stronger than his daughter's family. Compared with when Qingxia was born, it seems to be about the same size.

He was confused. I can't tell the truth. felt that Zixia was his blood and bones, but he believed the facts of what Lu said more.

The old prince said coldly: "Order, before the account room has checked and checked all the palace's property, Zixia Ye Hao's family must not leave the palace for half a step." ”

These words were like the sharpest knife in the world, Zixia's eyes widened: "Father, for so many years, I have taken care of the palace without merit and hard work, how can I embezzle your property?" ”

"Then what does it mean that you don't hand over the deed of sale, land deed, and house deed? Isn't this an attempt to take it for yourself? ”

Zixia's aggrieved tears couldn't be stopped, and the flutter slid down.

"Alright! It's upset when you look at it! This king hasn't slept for a few days, and you're embarrassed to cry! What a disobedience and unfilial piety! He spat out the last few words. Hurry up and hand over everything to Concubine Yao. ”

Zixia raised her voice. "Deliver! Can't I pay it back? Whining...... Who likes to take care of the palace? Be a fool for one's pains. It's tiring, as if I'm taking advantage of it. Father, what's wrong with you, why do you talk to your daughter like this? For what? If the mother does something wrong, you have to break your promise. Marry another newlywed. ”

"What did she do wrong? Just ask her! Do you think she has the face to question this king? She became a jealous woman, but she was justified. Since he doesn't like to take care of the palace, he will hand over all the things that should be handed over, and this king doesn't want to say it a third time. He was so angry that he didn't even want to pretend to be loving, and he didn't shout: You are not my daughter! It's already considered benevolent.

Concubine Yao said warmly: "Miao Zhaoxun, Xing serve, you can rest in the warm hall of the upper room for a day." Tomorrow morning, let the subordinates clean up your yard. ”

The two of them should say "yes" in unison.

Concubine Yao said to her dowry girl: "Help the prince to rest, the prince is tired enough for the past two days." ”

The old prince held Concubine Yao's hand. He stroked and said, "If she dares to embarrass you, you just have to tell this king." Ah Yan and Qingxia are more reasonable in the end, Zixia is spoiled by her unreasonable mother. ”

Zixia heard the anger in her stomach, and she almost shouted.

Concubine Yao said softly: "Don't worry, the prince will rest for a while, I won't worry about the juniors." ”

This woman......

He looks a few years younger than Zixia. actually said that she was a junior.

Zixia felt humiliated.

Concubine Yao smiled slightly, "I'll accompany the big county lord to get things." She turned her head and exchanged glances with the grandmother and the big girl on the side.

Zixia said: "No need, I'll go get it." ”

She turned around and walked out of the upper room.

Behind him, a grandmother followed, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yao has no other meaning, she doesn't dare to drive the big county lord back and forth, and the old slave will go on a trip in person." ”

As soon as Mama left the courtyard, she called two more guards to follow.

Zixia entered the small courtyard where their husband and wife lived, folded into the inner room, and the old lady followed.

She was about to have a seizure, but Ye Hao in the hibiscus tent had already taken the lead and sneered: "Where did this ignorant mother-in-law come from to the boudoir privately." ”

The old lady owes herself, "The old slave came to take what should be taken on the order of the old prince and Concubine Yao." The deed of sale, the title deed under the name of the king, and the deed of the shop. ”

Ye Hao saw that this grandmother looked calm, not half timid, but a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and was afraid of two points in his heart, and called "Zixia" lightly.

Zixia looked helpless, "There must be something big going on in the Imperial City, but I can't think of what it is." My father has changed. ”

Her heart is so distressed that she is bleeding, tangled and entangled, since she has a child, she has lived her own life, helping to take care of the palace by the way, rarely asking about the lives of her mother, younger brothers, and sisters, and unconsciously, she has also become estranged from Yu Wenyan and Qingxia a lot. The relationship between her younger brother and sister is very good, and she has been close to the Ye family since she was a child.

Zixia climbed up the embroidery pestle, took down a box from the top of the kitchen, with a lock hanging on it, rummaged through the kitchen for a while, took out the key and was about to open it, the old lady took a few steps and grabbed the box, "Don't work for the big county lord, I took the box and the key, and I will present it to Concubine Yao." ”

Ye Hao saw that she was actually robbing, and he was in a hurry, so he jumped out of bed, and although the old mother was old, her body was flexible, and she rushed out of the inner room in the blink of an eye.

Ye Hao was naked, scolded the "old pious woman" and chased out of the room.

Zixia was stunned on one side, she didn't expect such a bold old lady to come to her senses. Grab the door and chase it.

Without thinking about it, the two guards stood beside the old woman.

Mama Yao said sharply: "This is what the old prince meant, the big county is mainly dissatisfied, just ask the old prince." ”

She glanced around, took the key, opened the box, and took a look, there were deeds of sale from the people of the Weizhou Palace, but there were not many, and they were all old. There are also some title deeds and shop deeds. There are also a few silver tickets. It's all five thousand taels or ten thousand taels.

Mama Yao said loudly: "Listen well, the old prince has an order, and without his order, no one is allowed to let go of the Zixia County Lord's family." Violators will be sold cheaply! ”

Zixia said sharply: "Some of them are my dowry!" ”

Mama Yao sneered: "Some are not? ”

Zixia nodded. I couldn't react to the meaning of her words.

Yao Mama said: "It's really strange, how could the property of the palace be put together with the property of the big county lord." Ordinary people will be separated from each other. Zixia was so angry that she wanted to scold, but she couldn't figure out where this grandmother came from, and she didn't even figure out who Concubine Yao was, "If it's really the county lord's thing, after the old prince checks it, he will return it." It should be the county lord who can't run away, it shouldn't be. The county lord can't take it away. ”

With that, she turned and led the two guards away.

Ye Hao looked at her distant back, "Zixia, this is ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Zixia looked dazed, this grandmother would not be so bold for no reason. I'm afraid that she dared to do this because she was instructed by someone, and the old prince was not as close to her as before. "There must be an accident over there in the imperial city, something must have happened to the concubine......" She hugged her head and snuggled into Ye Hao's arms in pain, "Hao, something must have happened, but I don't know what happened to Lu Dao?" Why is it anything, such a big thing, Ah Yan and Qingxia didn't tell me. ”

Concubine Yao took the box brought back by Mama and checked it carefully, "Thirteen deeds of sale, three granges, seven shops, and 35,000 taels of silver tickets, this huge palace, does Mama believe that it is only a little?" ”

Mama Yao shook her head affirmatively.

Concubine Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, "You keep it for me first, go back and wait for the prince to wake up, and show it to him." Concubine Ben was tired and wanted to rest on the warm couch for a while. ”

Mama Yao took the futon, Concubine Yao lay down with her clothes, and fell asleep after a while.

Mama Yao sighed lightly and fought for a while, but there was only such a little thing, which was too far from their resemblance. As the old prince said, these things will be left to the son born to Concubine Yao in the future, and no matter what, other things must be snatched back.

Zixia cried a lot, and sent a confidant to inquire about what happened in the imperial city.

Soon there was news.

A girl replied: "The girl and mother-in-law who came with me refused to say more. There was only a little girl, rewarded some bits of silver and candy and said, saying that it was not long after the lord of Anxi and the prince got married, and the old princess took advantage of the lord of Anxi to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, and actually led the little girl into the boudoir of the county lord of Anxi.

After that, the old prince ordered, the old princess was locked up in the miscellaneous room, and later moved to the Buddhist hall for meditation, that night, the old king carried the embroidery girl of the embroidery room to do the apricot service, and the next night carried the girl of the flower and wood room to make beads to serve......"

Ye Hao felt that something was wrong with this, "The mother concubine led someone to privately bump into the boudoir of the princess's younger siblings, and the father married the side concubine, Namei concubine?" ”

Zixia couldn't say it, "I heard someone say earlier that in the Manchu Dynasty, the Jiang family is the most unprovoked." Jiang Suyan, the lord of Anxi, is the most favored daughter of the Jiang family and a disciple of a master in the world...... How could the mother do such a foolish thing and bring the little girl into the boudoir of the new daughter-in-law to do something? ”

Ye Hao thought about it and thought, "Is there something in this that we don't know." With his father's temperament, he would not marry a side concubine because of this kind of thing. ”

Zixia's heart was in turmoil, she didn't know what to do.

All she can do is wait, and she will definitely be able to wait for the most real result.

It's just that what happened to break the old prince's heart, let him marry a wife and take a concubine, and abandon his oath.

On this day, Zixia was worried.

After Concubine Yao woke up, the first thing she did was to thoroughly check the accounts of the palace.

And he called the stewards of each house, and the bookkeeper came.
