812 Raising and lowering wives and concubines

The old prince asked, "Don't you hate her?" ”

"Hate! Of course I hated, I hated for many years and wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh. She was calm and didn't want to hide anything, "But later, I made a wish to the Buddha, as long as I can live like a human being and recognize Ah Yan, I am willing to let go of my hatred." Even if it's Princess Ye, I can ignore it. ”

However, it is so difficult to do it.

Now she lets go because she knows that the old princess Ye has completely fallen out of favor, and she will no longer hurt Yuwenyan's family.

Princess Ye Lao is not Yu Wenyan's mother-in-law, and she has hurt the princess and the prince three times and twice, and there is no reason to live in the palace on the left shoulder of the imperial city.

For a long time, Ling Wei was so hateful, she couldn't wait to eat Ye Piaopiao's flesh and drink her blood, but as time went by, and with the success of her poisoning, she no longer hated. Instead, she hoped to watch her son grow up safely and healthily from afar, and then Yu Wenyan married a wife and had children, and she also watched from afar, only hoping that their family would be happy and smooth.

The old prince took a long breath, "She is indeed a jealous woman, Lang Zhong said that Concubine Yao was poisoned, in addition to Zhu Shi, the wives and concubines who lived in the Weizhou palace were poisoned. The poison served by the two Zhaoxun and Xing can't be cured, Concubine Yao will come to the Imperial Palace later, and the king wants to try to detoxify her. Concubine Yao's second child was miscarried! ”

The most pity is the first one, it's been five months, and when it falls, you can tell the difference between male and female, it's a male fetus, and Concubine Yao has been suffering from this for a while.

Ling Wei asked, "How can this be?" ”

The old prince said bitterly: "It's the hand of the Ye family." ”

Ling Wei realized that in the past, in order to save Yu Wenyan's life, she tried to give infertility medicine to the old princess of Diye. Old Princess Ye actually gave such medicine to the old prince's other concubines.

It's a rare time to talk like this. This is very unfamiliar, but the old prince has a sense of familiarity. said: "Concubine Yao treats this king sincerely, and she can't be deprived of the right to be a mother." gave birth to a son is Wei Pinghou. got the fief of three counties, and this king wanted to treat her well. ”

Ling Wei hung her head, if a woman can't be a mother, it will be the biggest punishment in this life. "The old prince is relieved, the famous doctor in the Yiji Medical Center is the most powerful, and he will definitely be able to detoxify Concubine Yao, and Concubine Yao will definitely be able to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the prince one day."

The old prince smiled, knowing that she would not please herself, even if she was pretentious and laughing, "This king wants to talk to you." When Concubine Yao arrives, you can get along with her well, she is a capable and virtuous person. ”

Ling Wei really didn't think about dealing with any woman, "As long as she doesn't hurt the child, the slut doesn't dare to hurt people, if she hurts people, the slut is not soft." ”

Her child is Yu Wenyan, and Yu Wenyan's child is her grandson, as well as her daughter-in-law Su Yan. As long as she doesn't hurt them, she doesn't hurt anyone. But if someone hurts her child and she doesn't know how to fight back, she's really a fool. Even more than twenty years ago. In order to protect Yu Wenyan, she will also calculate the old princess and drug the old princess. It is difficult for the old princess to get pregnant. More than 20 years later, she will be even more crazy to protect her children than she was back then. The tiger wolf still knows how to protect the child, let alone her.

The old prince was still sighing in his heart earlier. said that she was a kind woman, and said this in the blink of an eye.

"I'll come over when she settles down the affairs of the Weizhou Palace. This king went to Ronghe Courtyard to rest. ”

The old prince made it look like he was leaving, as long as she said a word to leave him, tonight, he would stay here. When he looked at it carefully, his demeanor was humble, there was no intention of retaining it, his demeanor was peaceful, and there was no reluctance.

To her, he was just an accident.

What she is tied to is Yu Wenyan, the son she conceived and gave birth to in October.

Yu Wenyan attacked the title of prince, she is Yu Wenyan's mother, she has nothing to ask for, all she wants is to live in peace with her son for the rest of her life.

The old prince came out of Lan Ruoyuan.

Fu Chengyi of Ronghe Yuan has always refused to go to the Weizhou Palace, waiting for the old prince to come to the imperial city one day and become husband and wife. She is in the imperial city, Su Yan will not hurt her, and let her help take care of the embroidery room, and she can take care of her own wedding shop and Zhuangzi, and her life is comfortable.

That night, the old prince and Fu Chengyi had a round room.

Fu Chengyi got early the next morning, sent the maid to receive the ingredients, and prepared breakfast in the small kitchen in his own courtyard.

Before she could do a good job, the old prince got up.

He ordered the eunuch who served with him to go to the large kitchen to fetch ginseng soup, ate a bowl and left. rushed to the palace to greet the queen mother and the emperor, and more importantly, he still had some things to do.

As Ling Wei said, Princess Ye Lao can't be in a high position, let alone be the most noble woman in the palace, otherwise she will hurt people, she is like a tiger that looks tame, but a tiger is a tiger, and she can hurt people at any time.

The old prince saw the queen mother, and talked about it for a while, his age was about the same as the queen mother, the former prince Qianming was the most beloved son of the first emperor, and the old prince was the most valued brother of the first emperor. After chatting for a while, the old prince brought the topic to Yu Wenyan.

The Queen Mother answered: "After Ah Yan got married, she acted more and more prudently. ”

The old prince told Yu Wenyan's life experience together.

The Queen Mother and Yun Fang were surprised when they heard it, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and then looked at the old prince, his face was solemn, and there was a little pain in his eyes, such a big thing didn't seem to be true.

The old prince said that the old princess Ye poisoned his wife and concubine, and mentioned that Concubine Yao had slipped two children in a row, and after the New Year's Festival, he had to meet an old man with superb medical skills, and only then did he find out that Concubine Yao and several others were poisoned.

The Queen Mother said: "You want to divorce your wife? ”

The old prince hung his head, not daring to look at the queen mother, this is a great disrespectful sin, and said in a low voice: "She is jealous and childless, and she should have taken a break." I have been a husband and wife for more than 20 years, but this kind of big crime cannot go unpunished, and the minister wants to ask the queen mother for a grace to reduce her to serve, and set up Yu Wenyan's biological mother Ling as a side concubine. ”

Demoting the main concubine to the last concubine is a big deal.

The Queen Mother asked, "Have you thought about it?" If the Ye family is demoted to serve, what will happen to the two daughters she gave birth to, according to the rules, they will be demoted. ”

The rules of the Northern Qi Dynasty are strict, and it is in the prince's palace. She is also the daughter of the prince and the daughter of her son-in-law. was born as a first-class county lord; The daughter of the side concubine is the second-class county lord; The daughters born to other concubines are third-class county lords. Although it is a third-class county lord, it is the same as the county lord.

For Zixia, the old prince has less affection, but in the end it is his eldest daughter.

Qingxia hurt the hearts of Yuwenyan and his wife, yesterday he asked the mother-in-law in the house again, and heard that the Yaodong 100-day banquet, world friends, relatives and friends came, Zixia gave a set of clothes worn by the child as a gift, Qingxia is a dime.

The old prince was quite chilled when he heard it!

As Su Yan said, the two sisters have known Yu Wenyan's life story for a long time. didn't treat Yu Wenyan as a brother. is really stupid, whether it is a family or ordinary people, only a woman with a mother's family can be looked up to by her in-laws. They acted like this, which broke the hearts of Yu Wenyan and his wife early, and it will not be easy to live in the future.

"Zixia, as the eldest daughter, according to the rules, although she was born to a concubine, she should also be a second-class county lord. As for Qingxia, she will be demoted to a third-class county lord. This is a royal rule and cannot be broken. ”

For more than a year, all the thoughts of the old prince were put on the road of building canals in Weizhou, and he was accompanied by Zhu to serve. Thinking that Lianzhu was poisoned by others in his service, he gave birth to Hongxia, the lord of the three counties.

He said again: "Concubine Zhu in the Weizhou Mansion served, and gave birth to a small county lord for this king last year. Even though it was born prematurely, it was healthy and cute. Although this pearl is a girl, it is also virtuous. With this king, he suffered a lot on the Weizhou Canal. This king wants to ask the queen mother for a favor and promote her position. Let her be a Chengyi. ”

The Queen Mother laughed, looked at Yun Fang and said, "Okay! Isn't it a great thing that you have another daughter, and that you are lucky enough to have another son this year? The first emperor has knowledge under the spring, look at the concubines around you like flowers, and the mansion will be imported, you will be pleased. ”

The old prince held the tea cup and took a sip in a decent manner.

The Queen Mother said: "Can you write the paperwork?" The mourning family asked Yunfang to be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. ”

The old prince took out two copies of the excerpts from his arms, Yun Fang took it, the queen mother looked at it, and said: "First send one to the Internal Affairs Office to report, and then send one to the Ministry of Rites, urging the Ministry of Rites to seal and send it to the emperor for a look." ”

The old prince has not been to the imperial city for more than a year, and this time he came here for this matter, and he can be regarded as taking time out of his busy schedule to come to the imperial city.

The Queen Mother asked, "How long will you stay in the Imperial City this time?" ”

The old prince put down the teacup and replied: "This time I went to the imperial city, one is to raise silver taels, and the other is for the affairs of the Ye family and the Ling family. When the emperor issued the holy decree of Jin Feng Ling, the minister should also rush back to Weizhou, and now the river canal has been repaired to four counties, and three counties are under construction. The canal still has eight miles to reach Yanping County, and the magistrate of Yanping County took the people of the county to start repairing the canal and paving the road early in the morning, and they can be irrigated just by closing it, and they want to repair it as soon as possible, so that the people of Yanping can irrigate the fertile land earlier. ”

The Queen Mother had heard someone say earlier that Weizhou was going to build the canal, and she was afraid that it would take three years, "Now look at it, how long will it take to build the Weizhou canal?" ”

The old prince almost didn't think about it, and gestured with three at hand.

The Queen Mother exclaimed: "Only three months? ”

The old prince said: "Back to the Queen Mother, exactly." Yanping, Daya and other counties began to build canals and paved roads in the autumn of last year, and now they have all completed eight or nine out of ten, just waiting for the main canal to be repaired and can be used. The minister went to Yanping and Daya to see, and the magistrates of these two counties were all second-class jinshi who won last year, and they were also attentive, and the quality of the canals was well repaired. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family heard that after the canal is repaired, the saline-alkali land in Yanping can also be turned into fertile land after smouldering, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, exactly."

The Queen Mother looked at the palace people on the side, and her face was happy, "This Weizhou has suddenly become a rich land." "I looked at the left and right unexpectedly, if this is the case everywhere in Northern Qi, this treasury is still full of silver.

The old prince hugged his fists and said: "Last autumn, Pengdong and Laixian had a bumper harvest, and the rice and wheat were very good. This is also the heart of the people of Pengdong and Laixian. If it weren't for the emperor's Longen, who ordered Weizhou to repair canals and pave roads, it would be difficult for these two counties to have a bumper harvest, and it would be even more difficult for the people to eat enough. ”

The Queen Mother thought about the golden crops everywhere, and she was happy in her heart, but she didn't think that after Yuwen Qian resigned to the prince, she could still do such a big thing in Weizhou. (To be continued......)
