Chapter 169: Gossip
Tuoxin Treasure Pavilion's blessing, now all over the capital know that the prince of Qing'an Hou and Mrs. Shizi are not in harmony, this Mrs. Luo ran to live in the house in Huanzhou, maybe because there are people outside Luo Yu who are angry.
But how long has it been since Mrs. Qing'an Hou is gone? It's only been a year and a half, and before this filial piety period has passed, Luo Yu dares to get an outer room out? Anyone who participates in him will have enough for him. Besides, how long has Chunting just given birth, and for a while, the ladies in the capital sympathized with Chunting.
Feng Xixi, who was in Beijing, didn't know the inside story, and specially wrote a letter to Chunting and Bai Huanru, first asking if the matter was true, and then saying that he would suppress this matter as soon as possible, if Luo Yu really had someone outside, then hurry up and give the outer room a sum of money to tell her to go as far as possible, the matter can't be delayed, now the capital is already full of rumors, you must quickly cut through the mess, and solve the matter first in a petty way.
In fact, who can really not touch the slightest meat in the filial piety period, but just boil the soup diligently, don't make a big move, and others will turn a blind eye, and the right to be invisible. It's just that no one can be like Luo Yu, and there is not even a maid around him, if Luo Yu has an outer room outside, it is really a rare thing.
Chunting was a little amused after receiving Feng Xixi's letter, and immediately wrote a reply to explain the matter clearly. She just asked the crisp bird to say that she and Luo Yu copied a fight, as for why it was rumored to be like that outside, it was none of her business. How can the two of them live without quarreling, who can have no contradiction at all, she just had a few words with Luo Yu, but it was rumored outside that Luo Yu had someone outside, and it was really terrifying.
The matter made a big fuss, and even Emperor Huaiwen, who was in the palace, knew about it, and mentioned it to the queen at lunch one day, "I heard that the kid of the Luo family raised people outside, but the queen also heard about it?" ”
The queen was serving Emperor Huaiwen a dish on the side, and she just smiled when she heard the words, "The concubine also listened to the others say a few words, but how much of the words spread outside can be true, the emperor should only listen to a joke." The boy of the Luo family spent a lot of effort to marry his daughter-in-law back then, and now he has two sons, which shows that Mrs. Luo has a deep friendship. ”
That being said, there are a few men who don't steal, and now there are a few new concubines in Emperor Huaiwen's harem, even if the ranking is not high, and there are no heirs, but just being in the palace is enough to find someone to respond.
Emperor Huaiwen was noncommittal, and the topic suddenly turned to something else, "Princess Cheng is still in the palace now?" ”
"Yes." The queen's voice is soft, she is already over forty years old, but her voice is still young, and her words are like a breeze, which makes people very useful, "Princess Cheng is not in good health, the son is born prematurely, and she is also a little frail, and it is more convenient to live in the palace." ”
Emperor Huaiwen snorted meaninglessly, "Two days ago, King Cheng also handed in a fold, saying that he wanted to take the princess and the prince back, if I approved him, would he have to ask me for a fief?" ”
In the affairs of the previous dynasty, the queen was reluctant to interfere too much, lest Emperor Huaiwen be suspicious. When Emperor Huaiwen was still King Liang, he was indeed willing to say a few words to her about everything, but now the man in front of him is already an emperor, and who can guess the emperor's thoughts.
"The emperor and King Cheng ......have a deep brotherly relationship," the queen glanced at Emperor Huaiwen's expression, and then continued, "Even if King Cheng stays in Beijing, there is nothing inappropriate." If it really doesn't work, the emperor can also follow Taizu's example and find a fief near the capital. ”
The empress didn't have any substantive suggestions in what she said, and Emperor Huaiwen wouldn't be really stupid enough to set aside a fief near the capital for King Cheng. This topic ended, neither of them spoke, and after finishing their lunch in silence, Emperor Huaiwen went to the imperial study, and the queen went to the east palace.
The queen has not been to the East Palace for a long time, since Emperor Huaiwen ascended the throne and crowned her eldest son as the crown prince, her child seems to be busy all of a sudden, like a child who has not yet learned to walk, but wants to force him to run. The queen sometimes regrets why she didn't force the prince to learn those ways of governing the country earlier, but she couldn't do that. Emperor Huaiwen is in the prime of life, but the prince has prepared early, what is his intention?
The crown prince, just looking glorious on the surface, he can't be too good, he can't be outstanding, he must be cautious about his father, and he must always be on guard against his brother. The crown prince was not Emperor Huaiwen's favorite child, or Emperor Huaiwen did not have a preference for that child, and he was named the crown prince only because he was his eldest son.
Speaking from the heart, Emperor Huaiwen has done well enough, he is not obsessed with beauty, he does not favor the prince to mislead the courtiers, he is diligent and loves the people, he has not made any major mistakes since he ascended the throne, and he has also pacified the civil strife in the Southern Tang Dynasty. But such an excellent emperor sometimes makes the queen feel a little unsteady.
King Cheng and Emperor Huaiwen are compatriots, when Emperor Wai was in power, Emperor Huaiwen, who was still King of Liang, in order to go out of Beijing to his fiefdom, even asked King Cheng to stay in the capital as a proton, just by virtue of this friendship, shouldn't Emperor Huaiwen be grateful after ascending the throne and release King Cheng out of Beijing as soon as possible?
The queen walked to the East Palace, did not let people spread the word, stood in front of the window and watched the prince study hard in the palace, stunned for a while, did not alarm the prince, and turned away.
The rumors that Luo Yu raised the outer room seem to have overshadowed the previous discussion on whether King Cheng should go out of Beijing, and the excerpts handed over by the court in the past few days are all impeachment of Luo Yu. Emperor Huaiwen didn't say anything after reading it, but just took advantage of his free time to pass Luo Yu into the palace one day.
Luo Yu was found by Emperor Huaiwen to talk, and Chunting was also found by Bai Huanru to talk. Bai Huanru specially asked the children to go out to play before she came, and she sat with Chun Ting, and first said: "Have you heard all the rumors in Beijing in the past few days?" ”
Chun Ting was a little puzzled, nodded and said, "Naturally, I heard it." "The news was released by herself, how could she not hear it.
Bai Huanru continued: "Yesterday, your brother-in-law wrote to me, saying that there are not a few people who impeached Yi'an these days, and along this line, I found out a lot of interesting things. ”
Chun Ting nodded again, she didn't care too much about the affairs of the court, and she did this after discussing this matter with Luo Yu, and the fact that things had developed to this point also meant that Chun Ting was adding fuel to the fire.
Bai Huanru sighed, "I was a person who didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, but you and I have known each other for many years, and now we are sisters, so I will talk one more time, just to dislike people." ”
When the words came to this point, Chunting became serious, "Sister, you just say, I'm not smart, you also know, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, if you can see it, just say it." ”
Bai Huanru patted Chunting's hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so serious, I just want to ask you, over the years, Yi'an has been good to you?" ”
Chun Ting didn't know why Bai Huanru asked like this, but he still said very honestly: "Yi'an is naturally very good to me. ”
Bai Huanru bowed, "Actually, I wasn't optimistic about the marriage of the two of you back then, I thought that when you reach your age, I will find a more stable steward to marry you, but Yi'an begged me to agree to this family business." On the old lady's side, he said it himself, I didn't interfere for half a minute, I thought he couldn't make sense, so he would back down, who knew and asked him to make sense. ”
Luo Yu didn't mention these things to Chunting, Chunting only knew that when he retreated, Luo Yu took a big step forward, walked to her side, and pulled her into his life.
Chunting didn't speak, Bai Huanru continued: "Over the years, Yi'an really can't care about you anymore, if you say that the only thing that treats you badly, is that you couldn't be by your side when you were pregnant with Brother Pan, so that you gave birth to the child alone, but I was by your side at that time." Look at which family in the capital now doesn't have a few concubines around, what kind of character is Yi'an, when he was in the past, he was a demon king of the world, if he didn't marry you, how could he be as clean as he is today. ”
Seeing that Chunting was still silent, Bai Huanru sighed, "Think about what you did this time, think about it from the perspective of Yi'an, won't this matter become a thorn in his heart?" Don't you have any other way? ”
The next method is not nothing, but Chunting just came up with the idea of doing it at random, so he ordered Juan Chi and Crisp Bird to do it, and even during this time, Luo Yu has been in the capital and has not come to Huanzhou. Since Chunting came to Huanzhou, Luo Yu has to come every two or three days, and because he has to cooperate with Chunting's play, Luo Yu has never been to Huanzhou.
Chunting felt that what Bai Huanru said made sense, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this matter was her fault, and the fault was that she failed to consider Luo Yu's feelings, so it was up to her to make up for it.
Luo Yu was called by Emperor Huaiwen to go to the palace and was talked about for nearly an hour, after leaving the palace, he went to Zhuangzi, yesterday a Zhuangzi sent someone to say that something was wrong, Luo Yu personally went to a trip, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dark.
After entering the courtyard, he found that the lights in the house were on, Luo Yu didn't care, he just thought that the next person had prepared dinner and waited for him to come back, but he had already eaten at the Zhuangzi. After entering the house, I really saw that the food was prepared on the table, and it was still hot, and I was just about to call someone to come in and take the food down, when I suddenly felt someone behind me hugging me.
Luo Yu didn't turn back, just smelling the familiar scent of the person behind him, he already knew who it was.
