Splendid Temple

Bicui leaned into Su Yuemei's ear and said, "Madam, there is news from front that the eldest lady and the eldest young master are back, and Miss Xiao Yuelan from the Prime Minister's Mansion and Miss Zhao Ling'er from the Zhongyong Mansion are also here. ”

"What! I can't imagine that Yu Jin has been gone for so many years and there is no news, and her life is so big, and she didn't die outside! And that Xiao Yuelan, how did a person who had died come to our house to join in the fun! Shouldn't she go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first? ”

Su Yuemei said in shock.

Yu Yao, who was sitting on the soft collapse, put down the hibiscus cake in her hand, and said worriedly: "Mother, what should I do?" Now that the county lord of Changle and the third prince have been grounded, King Ning's side has not been in touch with us for a long time, and there are fewer and fewer people we can rely on. ”

Su Yuemei patted Yu Yao's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's not the end yet." Mother will not let their brother and sister overpower you and Yuhao. ”

"Mother, you call my brother back, now Yujin is back. Grandmother has always protected the brother and sister, if the brother does not come back, I am afraid that the family will not have the status of an elder brother in the future. ”

Yu Yao said anxiously.

Su Yuemei hesitated: "Your brother is at a critical moment now, what if he comes back at this time and affects him to participate in the imperial examination?" I don't think it's appropriate. ”

"Husband, madam, there is another thing that may be related to the second young master's imperial examination."

Bicui said hesitantly.

Su Yuemei said unhappily: "What else is going on?" Say it all at once! ”

"Just now, Gonggong Chen in the palace came to announce the decree, and the emperor dismissed the lord from his position. The slave maid thought that this would probably affect the second young master's next imperial examination. ”

Bicui said worriedly.

Yu Yao grabbed Bicui's hand in surprise and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Bicui nodded and said affirmatively: "The slave doesn't dare to lie, this matter has been spread all over the house." ”

"It's over! Finished! My Hao'er, the hard-working Hao'er! ”

Su Yuemei cried bitterly.

Yu Yao sat down on the soft collapse and said in disbelief: "Why is the emperor so ruthless, my father has been an official in the court for so many years, although it is useless, but he has never made a mistake, how can he say that he will be dismissed?" By the way, what about grandmother, isn't grandmother and the Queen Mother cousins? Didn't grandmother go into the palace to ask the queen mother? ”

Bicui shook her head and said, "I heard that Gonggong Chen told the old lady directly, saying that it would be useful to wait for the old man to quit his addiction and then ask the queen mother." ”

"Mother, it seems that my brother can't go through the path of the imperial examination, what should I do? Why don't you ask your grandfather if there's anything else you can do? Now that the eldest sister has been named the county lord, she has overpowered me, if the eldest brother gets anything more, what should we do? I'm afraid that there will be no more future. ”

Yu Yao said scaredly.

Su Yue stood up with a frown, wiped her tears and said, "You're right, I'll go find your grandfather now." By the way, Bicui, you spread the news that Xiao Yuelan lives in our house, a Yurun and Yujin are already troublesome enough, and Xiao Yuelan must not be added again. This Xiao Yuelan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it's better to hurry up and invite this plague god out. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Beecy answered and left.

Imperial Historian's House

Without waiting for the guards to report, Su Yuemei hurriedly pushed away Su Yushi's study.

Su Yushi, who was reviewing the official documents, was taken aback and asked:

"Yuemei, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Poof!"

Su Yuemei knelt on the ground without thinking about it, and pleaded:

"Father, daughter, please help Hao'er, daughter really can't help it."

Su Yushi hurriedly helped Su Yuemei up and asked, "Yuemei, you hurry up." Tell me what's going on? I also asked Hao'er's master a few days ago, and the master said that Hao'er is in good shape now, and it will be very promising if he continues to maintain the imperial examination. ”

Su Yuemei said bitterly: "According to our original plan, the master became addicted, but I didn't expect this to be known by the emperor." The emperor was furious and dismissed the lord from his official position. Father, I am afraid that Hao'er's imperial examination will not work, and the emperor will definitely have scruples. ”

Su Yushi asked puzzledly: "How could the emperor know about this matter?" It stands to reason that Old Madam Yu won't let people spread this matter at all. ”

Su Yuemei cried and shook her head, and said, "I don't know, Gonggong Chen has already come to the mansion to preach the holy decree. Father, what do you say we should do now? What should Hao'er do in the future! ”

"Don't worry, let me think."

Su Yushi sat back in the Taishi chair and said.

Su Yuemei bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Father, didn't you always say that your brother has an empty stomach of ink, but he is unwilling to enter the court as an official and cannot take over your class?" Why don't you let Hao'er try it? ”

Su Yushi thought that some time ago, Dr. Xu came over to check the pulse of his daughter-in-law who had been pregnant for a few months, and said that this baby was very likely to be a son, and he dreamed of a grandson. So, he hesitated:

"What's the difference between this and the imperial examination? The emperor will still know. Unless ......"

Su Yuemei asked nervously, "Unless what?" ”

"Unless you donate money to Hao'er in the local government, Hao'er's political achievements will be outstanding in the future, and I will say most good things for him in the court, then it is not impossible to return to Beijing as an official."

Su Yushi suggested.

Su Yuemei shook her head again and again: "Go to the place?" That's not good, Hao'er is so young, he has never suffered a little, and I don't worry about him going alone. Father, is there really no other way? ”

Su Yushi said distressedly: "This, I can't think of anything else at this time, this thing is too sudden." ”

Su Yuemei begged unwillingly: "Father, you must help Hao'er, he was grown up by you." ”

Su Yushi pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Concubine Sun of Prince Ying's Mansion has been looking for her in-law for the county lord of Changle recently, and that is the only county lord in my dynasty, I think that in the future, her husband, Prince Ying will not treat him badly." It's better for you to use your brains in this matter, Hao'er is not bad-looking, and his knowledge is good, so it is not impossible to become a county horse. ”

"Did you marry Hao'er so early? I'm afraid the old lady will disagree. Father, you don't know, Yujin is back, and the old lady has always come to see Yujin. ”

Su Yuemei frowned and said.

Su Yushi laughed and said, "If Concubine Sun insists on this, I don't think Old Lady Yu can do anything, right?" ”

Su Yue's eyebrows lit up and asked, "Father, what are your good ideas?" ”

Su Yushi said in a deep voice: "Hasn't Prince Ying been looking for the handle of King Ning's Mansion all along? If we tell Concubine Sun that there is an addictive demon fruit hidden in the Ning Palace, do you think Concubine Sun will still disagree? ”

Su Yuemei said worriedly: "But in this way, we will completely offend Ning Wangfu, what if they pull us into the water at that time?" ”

Su Yushi shook his head and said, "All along, it has been Su Qiang who connects with the other side, but who can prove that Su Qiang is the person from our house?" Since he was a child, he has never appeared in our house openly. How can people be exactly the same when they are young and when they grow up, so it is impossible for Ning Wangfu to pull us as cushions. Besides, the emperor has wanted to deal with Ning Wangfu for a long time, but he is only suffering from Meiyu's opportunity. Do you say that once the opportunity comes to the door, the emperor will hold us back? ”

Su Yuemei said happily: "I know, then I will ask Yu Yao to go to Prince Ying's Mansion tomorrow in the name of visiting the county lord of Changle." ”

Su Yushi nodded and said, "Well, you can." ”

The second day, the Prince's Palace

Yu Yao respectfully bowed to Concubine Sun and said:

"I've seen the side concubine. I was afraid that the county lord would be bored, so I specially found some novel ways to relieve her boredom. ”

Concubine Sun fiddled with a bunch of things in the hands of the little maid next to her, and said with a smile:

"It's still your heart, and you don't lose so many years to treat you like a sister. Sit down, don't stand. ”

Yu Yao said gratefully: "Thank you Concubine Niangniang." Actually, there is one more thing I came over today. ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

Concubine Sun asked curiously.

Yu Yao took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and said, "Don't hide it from Concubine Niangniang, in fact, my mother actually wants to marry you, but she rushed over for fear of frightening you, so she asked me to come and ask." Mother said that if Niangniang agrees, she will help you find a way to bring down Ning Wangfu and let the third prince regain his freedom. ”

Concubine Sun's good-looking phoenix eyes narrowed, and she said tentatively: "Oh? I don't know what Madame Jade can do? As far as I know, now Yu Shangshu, oh no, Yu Rongxuan has even lost the black gauze hat. I don't know what else Mrs. Yu can find to find a way to bring down Ning Wangfu? ”

Yu Yao felt that the sound of her heartbeat was louder than the voice of Concubine Sun's words! Therefore, Concubine Sun's words, Yu Yao didn't listen to a few words at all, but her mind was still desperately thinking about how to reply, and finally she had to say according to what Su Yuemei said before going out:

"Back to the side concubine, my mother didn't say more. However, my mother said that as long as you agree to this family business, then she will definitely help in the affairs of the third prince in the future, and she will never let you down. ”

Concubine Sun raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't say more?" ”

Yu Yao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Well, this side concubine is tired."

Concubine Sun closed her eyes, leaned against the soft collapse and said.

Yu Yao immediately stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Niangniang, have a good rest, I will retire first." ”

After Yuyao walked away, Concubine Sun's nurse Mama Xin hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"Niangniang, will you marry the county lord to the second son of the Jade Mansion?"

Concubine Sun snorted coldly and said, "He is also worthy!" A clown who jumps off the beam dares to climb it? ”

"But the third son is so wronged, are you willing?"

Mama Xin said distressedly.

Concubine Sun straightened up and said with a smile, "How could I let King Ning's Mansion fall?" As long as King Ning's Mansion is there, then this battle for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor is not a one-sided situation. The princess has two sons, a prince, and a general, and we do not have the strength to compete with the princess, nor the ability to compete with the Ning Wangfu, but I know that the snipe and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits! I'm going to be the fisherman! ”

Mama Xin asked in surprise, "Could it be that Niangniang has a countermeasure?" ”

"Go, you send someone to send the news from Yu Yao to King Ning's Mansion today, just say that this is our sincerity. If they succeed in the future, don't forget us. ”

Concubine Sun said with a smile.

"Yes, it's just that the county lord's family affairs are related to the happiness of her life, and the mother must be cautious."

Mama Xin thought about it and persuaded her.

Concubine Sun smiled faintly and said, "I know you love those two children, don't worry, I won't be wronged Changle." Go ahead. ”

"The old slave will go now, don't worry."

Mama Xin nodded, turned and left.

"Mother, what about these things? Do you want to send it to the county lord? ”

The little maid stepped forward and asked.

Concubine Sun waved her hand and said, "Don't you know that the county lord is grounded?" I threw all these things that couldn't be on the table for me, and my eyes hurt to watch. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

The little maid nodded and exited the room.
