Chapter 212: Might
Yuxia and Yuxin have been fighting in their mother's house for so many years, and they know each other's roots, although Yuxin has transformed and matured after marrying into the East Palace, but it is impossible for many things on the roots to change all at once.
According to Yuxin's strong temperament, Yuxia is so provocative, she goes to her main hall every day to ask for a meeting, this represents a war between two people, and she will definitely face it!
Why did she hold back this time? What was she afraid of?
Not only did she not see her, but she lived in a simple place, and she didn't even get out of the temple door!
Thinking of the day of the tea ceremony, the girls and mothers-in-law around Yuxin were like facing a great enemy, and they were very vigilant, and Yuxin's hands were always unnaturally placed on her stomach. Yuxia's mind flashed, and she exclaimed, "She can't be pregnant, right?" ”
As early as just now, Yuxia sent all the palace maids in the side hall out of the palace. She and Kumquat were the only ones left in the room, and it was convenient to talk.
When Yuxia came in, she begged for a lot, and finally brought in a kumquat, and the other palace maids who waited were all given by Yuxin, as for the eunuchs, there were none, and Yuxia's current position was not qualified to call eunuchs.
After officially becoming the crown princess, Yuxin assigned eight palace maids to her to wait, and the palace maids looked very well-behaved, but Yuxin gave it, where did Yuxia dare to use it?
She wanted to bring in the girl who had waited for her when she was in the Yang Mansion, but where was the harem so easy to come in, the palace maids who could come in and wait were all selected through a small selection, and the family must be innocent, and the three generations of ancestors must be carefully checked!
She mentioned this matter to the prince, but the prince refused to help her. Bring in the maid who served in her mother's house, and the queen has to nod her to do this. With the current status of Yuxia in the queen's mind, it would be strange if the queen could nod. The prince also advised Yuxia to keep to herself during this time, today and tomorrow, how can such a frivolous queen like her?
After the most trouble, there is only one kumquat left to be trusted by Yuxia's side.
Kumquat was also a little clever, she lowered her voice and said, "The slave and maid looked at it coldly, but the prince has never entered that person's door?" During this time, the prince rested in Yuxia's house most of the time, and the rest of the time was scattered in the house of several newly promoted concubines.
Don't say the night in the main hall, you rarely go!
"If you don't enter her room now, you won't have to enter before!" Yuxia frowned, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like it. Yuxia empathized, if she was pregnant like Yuxin, in such a situation surrounded by wolves, she would definitely be obscure, and wait for three months to stabilize the fetal gas before announcing it.
Yuxin was originally a concubine, and her identity alone overwhelmed her, if she was allowed to give birth to the eldest son of the prince, her status would be as stable as Mount Tai. The crown prince will be the emperor in the future, so isn't Yuxin's son born to be the next prince? Yuxia said that she couldn't let anything like this happen.
Yuxia looked at Kumquat's eyes and ordered directly: "You don't have to wait for me these days, take time to walk around with the palace maids and grandmothers, if she is really pregnant, there will be clues to be found, and a few places in the dining room and pharmacy must not be hidden!" As soon as Kumquat entered the door of the East Palace, he began to focus on building a good relationship with the palace maids and grandmothers, inviting guests to give gifts and dinners, and piling up a lot of silver.
Kumquat trembled when he heard this, it was taboo to inquire about the master's affairs, especially since the other party was the crown princess. If Yuxin is caught, she must be beaten to death.
Yuxia also saw Kumquat's hesitation, she grabbed Kumquat's hand and said, "Kumquat, the only person I can trust now is you." You are my personal girl, you can only be good when I am good, you understand this truth. Let's inquire quietly, side by side, and we can't get anything serious. When I become the crown princess in the future, I will definitely promote you to be the eldest aunt of Yuqing Palace! "It's another official and a wish, and the kumquat has just gone.
Kumquat went down, but Yuxia was still not at ease, and kept walking around the house!
This kumquat was busy inquiring about the news, and the three days over there passed quickly, Xiaoyue used all the strength to eat milk this time, and went into the main room to send people out, Xiaoyue said: "A few days before the rumors came out, Mrs. Wu on the needlework, Mrs. Zhang who watched the treasury, and several other old people brought over by Princess Bai, took turns to ask Concubine Qi for peace for several days, and each time she spoke for a long time. And then the rumors came out against you......"
Yulan was not very surprised when she heard this. The current subordinates in the palace are also full of three points, a force in the internal affairs office, the companion room brought by Princess Bai in front is a force of force, and then Yulan brought another wave of people over, and it is another force.
Mrs. Wu and others were married by the Bai family in front of her, and Princess Bai ran in the palace for several years and gave birth to a son, so she naturally placed her own people in important positions. After Yulan entered the palace, because she was the stepfamily, she moved the marriage of the princess in front of her, and it was always not good to say it, and there was not much change in personnel. Mrs. Wu was in charge of the needlework, but Yulan didn't move her nest. There are thousands of people in this palace, and the master and his subordinates have to make clothes all year round, and Mrs. Wu really made a lot of money in this position.
According to the rules of previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival palace should make a new set of autumn clothes for the people in the palace, which is equivalent to the welfare of the festival, but Yulan has seen the summer clothes made by Mrs. Wu for the people, the materials and quality of the clothes are not half a star, and the people in the palace cannot wear too badly.
Yulan saw that she had gone too far, so he called her over and beat her and fined her half a year's silver rice. She was not asked to do the extra set of clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and instructed the steward to give each person a tael of silver according to the head, and if they were willing to make clothes, they would go out to find a ready-to-wear shop to do it.
The silver is according to the hair of a person, and it is impossible for anyone to take advantage of it. The subordinates were naturally grateful to Dade and praised each other, but Mrs. Wu lost face and lost oil and water, so she naturally hated Yulan to the core.
After listening to it, Yulan understood everything. This must have been instigated by Qi Shi to deliberately say something bad to ruin her reputation.
Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said: "This is a troublemaker, princess, you treat them so kindly, you didn't go to their errands, they are still calculating you behind your back, it's really wolf-hearted!" "It is said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, even Yulan removed all the stewards left by the Bai family and replaced them with his own companion room, and others couldn't say anything. It's already very generous to do this.
Yulan sighed and said, "Some people are white-eyed wolves who can't be fed!" I kept them because I just looked at Brother Wen'er's face! "According to the rules, the mother's dowry should be left to her own children, and when Ye Minwen grows up in the future, Mrs. Wu and her gang will follow Ye Minwen, and it is not impossible for Yulan to send them down, they are always not as righteous and bold as Princess Bai, and I am afraid that Ye Minwen will inevitably complain when he grows up in the future.
It's not easy to be a stepmother!
Xiaoyue finished reporting and asked, "Princess, what should I do next?" ”
Yulan sighed: "This kind of thing can happen, and it is also due to my lax housekeeping!" In the past, I always thought that there was no need to force people to death, but now it seems that I am still a little too soft-hearted. Since they did the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen, Sister Bai, the housekeeper mothers who came to marry, if they are willing to go out, I will give five hundred taels of silver to each family to release them, and if they don't want to go out, they will be sent to the other courtyard to do a stewardship. These troublemakers, staying in the palace will only cause trouble in the inner house, and no one can stay. ”
Thinking about the Qi family, she kept jumping out to fight with her in the ring these days, without the credit of these people's provocation, Wu Pozi's relationship with the Qi family must be closer, Yulan's reputation has been damaged, her status has declined, and the Qi family's status has gone up, and they can also benefit.
Xiaoyue was greatly excited when she heard this: "Slave and maid, let's arrange it!" Yulan nodded. Waiting for Ye Yichen to come back at night, after all, it involves Princess Bai's companion room, these people are kept, and they will all be Ye Minwen's minions in the future. Yulan still said hello to Ye Yichen before he moved. Ye Yichen didn't bother with the affairs of the inner house, which was his respect for his wife, and it didn't mean that he didn't know about it.
If you are well-informed, he is no worse than the East Factory and the West Factory!
Ye Yichen just laughed when he heard this: "You can just call the shots about the affairs of the back house!" You don't have to report everything to me! But he was thinking in his heart: These slaves who oppress their masters should be sent down well, but I don't know how Lu Dao Yulan will send them down.
He also wanted to see how Yulan did it!
The next day, Yulan ascended to the throne in Jiaqing Hall, she didn't like to wear too formal clothes on weekdays, but this time she wore a red embroidered gold dress, which was quite formal, a bit similar to a dress. Yulan did a good job at the top, and asked the girls to pass all the five rooms of Princess Bai in.
Since that day, Xiaoyue Ermen sent down two little girls who chewed their tongues, and punished the mother who called the little girl, and Mother Wu and the others had some drums in their hearts. In the past, when Yulan didn't enter the mansion, although the Qi family was half a master, but their real master was Ye Minwen, and the Qi family belonged to the escrow, they were in the most important position, with rich oil and water and no one to take care of the house, and their lives were simply better than the gods.
When Yulan entered the door, although they didn't move their positions, the rules of the house had changed a lot, and it was not so easy for them to make money unscrupulously. They instigated the Qi clan to fight with Yulan everywhere, hoping that when the Qi clan got up, they could also benefit from it.
Who knows that this time Yulan is not only very fast, but also not as gentle and gentle as before, the board is also really beaten, I thought that Yulan was the new daughter-in-law, her face is tender, and many things are not easy to do, not to mention that her face is not good-looking. I thought it would be okay to beat two little girls who committed crimes on her head, but then I heard that the big girl next to her was investigating the matter.
The people in the house are divided into three factions, Princess Bai's companion and the girls and grandmothers from the Internal Affairs Office have been in constant friction, and when Princess Bai was in power, she slowly collected all the power into her own companion room, and the people in the Internal Affairs Office have long hated them to the bone.
Xiaoyue just let out the news, and countless people from the Internal Affairs Office rushed to provide her with news. Xiaoyue inquired repeatedly, and soon found out the truth of the matter.
Mrs. Wu and the others entered the Jiaqing Hall, and saw more than a dozen mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists standing on both sides, and immediately felt that the atmosphere was different.
Yulan glanced at them, these five families can be married as Princess Bai's companions, they are all born to the Bai family, they have been raised in the palace for so many years, all of them are white and fat, and the one who takes the lead is Mrs. Wu.
Yulan Road; "I called you here this time because I have something to tell you. There are too many people in our house, and the house is too crowded, I have discussed it with the prince, and there are only a few masters in the house, so I can't call so many people, and it's a waste to keep them. I decided to release people out of Lu in batches, and you have been a subordinate for a lifetime, and I will release you out of Lu this time and prepare five hundred silver for you, and return the deed to you, you will be a good citizen when you go out, and it is better to buy a few acres of land and be an old lady than to be a subordinate here? "Five hundred taels of silver is a huge amount of money at that, and with this settling-in fee, they can live well even if they go out.
Yulan pointed out a clear way for them, originally everyone knew that Lu Dao was because of what was going on, and he looked good on his face when he was angry. But there is so much oil and water in the palace, and they can enjoy the honor in peace, which of them is willing to go out. As soon as Yulan finished saying this, the group of people all knelt down at once, and Mrs. Wu nodded and shouted: "I am Princess Bai's companion, princess, you want to let us go, saying that we are making ourselves rich, but in fact, you are driving us out of the palace." When Princess Bai was leaving, she told us to wait for the eldest young master, and even if we died, we would never leave the door of the palace! ”
The people below immediately blew up the nest: "Yes, why did the princess take us away?" ”
"The princess is afraid of the side concubine, and she can't use such a despicable means, right?"
"We still have to wait for the eldest young master, the princess can't just let us go!"
"The princess can't tolerate people like this, let's go to the ancestral hall to cry for the white princess!"
……
Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu trembled with anger when they heard this, they instigated the Qi family and the princess to fight in the ring all day long, stirring up the restlessness of the house, and they were embarrassed to say these words.
Yulan glanced at it, and the two little girls closed the heavy door of Jiaqing Hall, and Yulan sat on it leisurely and let them cry. Anyway, the doors were closed, and they couldn't hear them even if they cried. It's all an interesting show.
These people are just howling, where can they cry tears. Yulan watched them perform almost, and then finally spoke: "Are you done crying?" After crying, it's time for this princess to say a few words, right? ”
Everyone raised their heads one after another, and they were a little speechless for a while at Shang Yulan's cold and slightly cold eyes. Yulan stood up unhurriedly, Xiaoyue hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, Yulan looked condescendingly at the group of housekeepers and daughters-in-law kneeling on the ground, thinking that this little trick could hold her, and they looked down on her too much.
"You are wrong about one thing, what I just said to you is my decision to dispose of you, I am not discussing it with you!" The last sentence of Yulan raised the volume, and everyone trembled when they heard it. She smiled coldly: "You say that I am indiscriminate and lose your hair? You know for yourself whether you have deceived me, my master, and how many things you have done to sow discord! Yulan slapped his palm on the desk next to him. If you don't want to go, I still have a way for you, there are countless farms in the palace, if any of you want to be a farmer or something, I can also fulfill you! But there is one thing, this palace can't let you stay anymore! ”
There was still a cry below, and when Yulan attacked, their crying voices were much quieter, and they didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect in their words.
Seeing that they were still so ignorant of practice, Yulan couldn't help but be furious: "For the sake of your waiting for the white princess in front of you for many years, you have left you dignity and a glimmer of life. Since you have to toast, you don't eat, you don't eat, you drink wine...... Come on, go and call people to come and sell all five of them to the bitter cold land in the north. This princess can still get a few taels of silver! ”
Yesterday, Xiaoyue had prepared everything, and Renyazi had already brought her into the mansion. As soon as she called here, the little girl came in. Yulan's identity is here, if she can't even handle a few people, then it is better to buy a piece of tofu and kill her!
Wu Pozi and the others panicked when they saw the people's teeth, no one expected that the rain would fall so neatly, and there was no room at all, and the five families were all driven out of the palace. These five families may not all be guilty, but Yulan is not the Holy Mother, she really doesn't have the energy to tell who is loyal and who is traitorous, so she simply stews it all in one spoonful, and if you don't eat it, you can only count them unlucky.
When the teeth came, these people were really scared. Yulan Road; "I'll give you the last chance, two ways, one is to take the silver out of the house, and the other is to go to the Zhuangzi to be the head of the village, if you dare to mess around again, sell it directly!" Her voice was small but stern.
Finally, someone couldn't bear it and said, "The slave and maid are going to the farm!" As he spoke, he reported the name of a Zhuangzi.
Someone started, and then it was easy to do, and no one was willing to leave the big backer of the palace, and they all said that they wanted to go to Zhuangzi and continue to serve the palace and the princess.
Seeing that they had accepted the punishment, Yulan didn't bother to say more to them, and turned around and instructed a mother-in-law: "You take someone to help a few mothers pack up their things, and you must move out of Lu within three days!" The voice is quiet, if it is disturbing, I will ask you! "This mother-in-law was assigned by the Internal Affairs Office, and she has been fighting with Princess Bai and her family for half her life, and seeing that they are unlucky, the joy in her heart is mentioned. What's more, if they fall, there will be a lot of positions with oil and water, and she will have a chance to take the position.
She agreed loudly, and more than 20 mothers-in-law came up like wolves and dragged Mrs. Wu and the others away.
Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu were very happy when they saw Yulan cleanly cleaning up Wu Pozi and the others. Mrs. Wu's gang relied on Ye Minwen to support them, not only did they not take ordinary subordinates in their eyes, but even the big girls in front of the current princess like Xiaoyue Xiaoyu were angry with them.
The subordinates cleaned up and the master, and the Qi family made such a fuss, Yulan said that she really didn't have to do it in the future, the princess. Because Qi and Ye Minwen lived together, Yulan directly called Qi over. To be honest, she was tolerant enough to Qi, but Qi's repeatedly challenged her limits, and the clay figure still had three points of fire, and Yulan was really angry.
Yulan sent Princess Bai's companion room and spread all over the house in an instant, Qi Shi also felt chills all over her body after hearing it, she always felt that the Bai family was behind her back, and Ye Minwen was in front of her, Yulan didn't dare to do anything to her, and when the girl came to pass her over, she felt that her legs were a little weak.
Qi really regretted it, she was too much.
When he arrived at Jiaqing Hall, Yulan directly shouted in front of several stewards' daughters-in-law: "Kneel!" ”
Qi was just a maid before, if he could compare with Yulan in terms of knowledge and means, he was intimidated by her momentum, and immediately knelt down obediently. Yulan asked lightly, "Qi, are you guilty?" ”
Qi Shi raised his head in amazement, not knowing what to say! Yulan didn't intend to wait for her to say this, she directly convicted the Qi family: "You are not strict with your majesty, you play right and wrong, disturb the back house, frame the master's mother, everything is a big crime!" ”
Qi Shi was frightened, and his whole body began to tremble!
Yulan directly said the punishment to her: "You give me back to my own yard, think about it behind closed doors, and copy the female ring and the female ring for me three hundred times first!" You will not be allowed to leave the house for three months without my orders. ”
She instructed the mother-in-law on the side: "The maid and mother-in-law beside the Qi family did not fulfill the duty of advice, which is a dereliction of duty, you go and replace all the people in her room." Change a few who know how to do things! ”
Qi didn't know how he got back to his small courtyard. As soon as she came back from the front foot, the mother-in-law who had been ordered by Yulan came and gathered all the maids and mother-in-law around Qi's side in one place, and told them to pack up their things immediately: if you are not good at waiting for the master, you will never have to wait in the future.
These people are all Qi Shi hard work into their hands, all of a sudden to clean up, how can Qi Shi do it, grabbed the woman's arm: "Mom, you wait, I'm going to beg the prince, these are the people who have been waiting for me for more than ten years are loyal to me, I can't ask you to take them away like this!" ”
The mother-in-law is still waiting to make a contribution in front of Yulan, and Yulan is happy to promote her to a good errand. Where do you dare not be unreasonable: "Niangniang, don't embarrass the old slave, the old slave is also acting on the orders of the princess, if the errand is not done well, the old slave can not afford it!" ”
There are more than a dozen people under the Qi family, but the woman brought more than 20 thick mother-in-law with big shoulders and round waists, and the slightest resistance is a big-eared melon seed, these people don't dare to cry out loud, they clean up as quickly as possible, and follow their mother out of the yard.
No matter how Qi begged, that mother-in-law ignored her! Qi Shi looked at the empty courtyard, and for a moment felt as if the sky was about to fall.
As soon as the mother-in-law left, Xiaofeng and Xiao Ying sent the mother-in-law and maid who had picked up the good ones. These two girls originally looked down on Qi's family, and their eyes were full of contempt at this time. Yulan changed all the people around her, and no one cooperated with her no matter how much she wanted to.
finally waited for Ye Yichen to get off the Ya, he would come to the Qi family to see his son every day, and today was no exception. The little girl reported that Qi Shi saw Ye Yichen come in, just like a person who fell into the water saw a life-saving straw, and suddenly knelt at the feet of the prince, crying with tears on her face: "Lord, you want to be the master of the concubine!" Princess she, she took away all the companions of the Bai family, and drove away the waiting people around me, I myself was wronged, but these people were left by the former princess to the eldest young master, if the eldest young master grows up and sees that the people left by his mother to him can't be saved, I don't know how to be sad! ”
