Baochai heard that Li Kun had found her mother's house, and she was worried about what the eldest sister-in-law had planned, so she hurriedly returned to her parents' house from the Lin Mansion: "Mother, didn't you promise her anything?"

Aunt Xue asked someone to fetch things for Baochai, while rolling her eyes and said, "Who am I? Can I go around her so easily? You put a hundred and twenty hearts, even if she makes up her mind to our family, it depends on whether I can accept her calculations." ”

Baochai smiled bitterly: "I never thought that Sister-in-law Zhu was such a powerful character. ”

Aunt Xue sneered: "Why isn't she? She is the daughter of the Li family, she is raised by an orthodox grandmother, and she can read and write, and her scheming methods are no worse than anyone else." Do you really think she's virtuous and talented? Then you're really wrong. ”

"When I was in the Grand View Garden, I watched coldly for a long time, Feng Yatou just underestimated her, I saw Xia Jingui also underestimated her, it looks like her housekeeper is not as good as Feng Yatou, she can't compare to Xia Jingui, that is, she is smarter than them, not only does the dowry not pay a penny, but also fills her own pocket. No one below said that she was bad, but they only said that she was not as spicy as Feng Yatou, and she was more virtuous and soft than Feng Yatou, which shows her ability. ”

"And then there is, Feng Yatou's yard, every day is messy, everyone has it, and there is still a person in the maid around her who is instigating up and down; her yard, since she married in, when has there been a mess? Which of the maids around her is not obedient, telling them to go east, they dare not go west?"

Baochai lowered her head and thought about it carefully, isn't it just as her mother said? Baochai was surprised: "Sister-in-law Zhu is so powerful. ”

Aunt Xue snorted coldly, "You just knew?"

He pointed to Baochai's forehead and said: "Fortunately, my mother is smart, you are a good fate, and you have met such a good person as your uncle, otherwise if we fall into the hole of Rongguo Mansion, your life will really be over." That Grandma Zhu alone is enough for you to drink a pot. ”

Baochai's face turned red, and then she hugged her mother and said, "My mother loves me, better than my aunt's cousin." ”

"Hmph!" Aunt Xue sneered: "My sister was just stunned by the fly-headed Xiaoli!"

......

Emperor Xiaode not only recovered the military power of the Nan'an Palace, but also dismissed his subordinates.

Because Concubine Nan'an approached the queen mother to intercede, Emperor Xiaode exempted the king of Nan'an from death, cut his throne, demoted him to an auxiliary general, and asked the Nan'an palace to take out one million taels of silver to ransom people.

Concubine Nan'an received this grace and hurriedly went back to collect money to redeem people. The generals who followed the king of Nan'an were not so lucky, except for those who were not guilty of much sin, such as Jia Lan, who were clerks in the rear, and Emperor Xiaode allowed them to pool money to atone for their sins, and the rest of them were all dismissed, their property confiscated, and both men and women were reduced to slavery.

Aunt Xue was entrusted by Mrs. Li to use the silver she left behind to buy the Sun family, help them bury General Sun, and subsidize his family to return to his hometown with 500 taels of silver.

The king of Beijing County saw the tragic situation of the Nan'an Palace, and quickly handed over the military power automatically, and Emperor Xiaode saw that he was interested, so he was happy to leave them as an idle county king.

In the Qinzheng Palace, there are only four people: the emperor, Dai Quan, Lin Zhao and Tong Lin.

Hearing the news of the transfer of power by the King of Beijing, Lin Zhao smiled and said: "The King of Beijing County is a wonderful person, and he knows that he takes the initiative to hand over the military power. ”

Emperor Xiaode snorted: "He naturally knows current affairs. In the past, when he inherited the throne, he was in a state of affairs and did not interfere with political affairs. As soon as the incident in the Nan'an Palace, he understood better how to choose, if he wanted to leave his life and the throne, he had no military power, and the two could not be accommodated. ”

Lin Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now that he has handed over the military power, won't Your Majesty reward him with some grace?"

Emperor Xiaode said: "I left him the throne, isn't it a reward for his grace?

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the princess of Beijing heard that she can't give birth, and the prince of Beijing may not have the original concubine in his life, what's the use of keeping this hereditary throne? ”

Emperor Xiaode smiled: "It's not bad that Princess Beijing can't give birth." At the beginning, I wanted to tell them the matchmaker, but their family refused, and they chose such a good family business, and now they can't give birth, who is to blame? ”

Dai Quan and Tong Lin snickered on the side.

Lin Zhao looked indifferent, and arched his hand: "It's not that the minister is worried about this, but I think that Concubine Beijing's heart must be blue with regret at this time, according to his calculations, I am afraid that something unbearable will happen." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xiaode raised his eyebrows.

The concubine of the northern realm was born in the bull family of Zhenguo, and the princess of Beijing was born in the family of the prince of Xiuguo, if something happened to these two women, he Xiaode Emperor believed that the Jinyi Guard and the Dragon Guard had a hundred ways to follow the vine and touch the melon, and the two families would disappear completely.

Thinking of this, he laughed: "When death is on the verge of death, what kind of infighting do you want to engage in, then don't blame me for being rude!"

......

Concubine Beijing's intestines are green at this time? She is so remorseful that her whole body is green. At the beginning, I took a fancy to this daughter-in-law, because her family's character and education, appearance, rules, scheming, and means were all good, a hundred times stronger than ordinary people, and she was qualified to be a queen, so she resigned from the matchmaker when Emperor Xiaode was in the palace.

What Cheng thought, she actually can't give birth!

This is a big joke, a princess who can't have children, what is she going to do? Has she broken the inheritance of the Beijing Palace? His Majesty has decreed that a son who is not the original concubine cannot inherit the throne, otherwise she would have given her son Dona a side concubine.

Concubine Beijing frowned, pinched a prescription and said, "Are you sure that this prescription is effective? can it really cure the princess's illness?"

Mama Zhang, who was beside Concubine Beijing, said with a smile: "Concubine, don't worry, this time this recipe was bought from the south by a slave and maid at a special cost, and it is said that several women have given birth to sons, so it's no problem! ”

Concubine Beijing nodded and said, "That's it, let's try this last time." If it still doesn't work......".

Mama Zhang was excited, and she was busy laughing.

Princess Beijing saw the medicine brought by Mama Zhang, sneered, and said, "Mama, where did you ask for a recipe?"

Mama Zhang bowed down and said: "Princess, this recipe was bought from the south, it was originally used by the Wuman clan, but the old slave spent a lot of energy and financial resources to ask someone to take this recipe, princess, for the sake of the little prince, you can drink it." Toffee...... But I'm tired of waiting. ”

Princess Beijing is a smart person, and as soon as she heard it, she understood the voice of Mama Zhang's words, and her heart moved, so she said: "In this case, present it." ”

Mama Zhang put down the medicine bowl and bowed backwards.

Princess Beijing looked at the medicine bowl, her face was very ugly. The maid beside her persuaded: "Princess, you just drink it, maybe it will work this time?"

Princess Beijing said bitterly: "I also hope it can be effective." But closed month, how much bitter juice have I drunk over the years, and which time has it been effective? The last time I went back to my parents' house, my mother asked the doctor to come and show me, because a few years ago, I drank those soups and water to nourish my body, which completely damaged my body, and I could not have any more children in this life. ”

Closed Moon was startled: "Princess, what should I do then......?" If she knew about it, she wouldn't let you go. The slave remembered that His Majesty decreed that if the original spouse had no children, the son of the stepfamily would be listed by the prince, and he could still inherit the throne. ”

Princess Beijing said indifferently: "I know. Didn't Mama Zhang just say it? The concubine was already impatient. If there is no way to give birth to an heir, the concubine ...... It's about to go after me. ”

Closed Yue hurriedly knelt down: "The princess ......"

Princess Beijing closed her eyes and said, "It's okay, I know it in my heart, and I won't really go as she wants." The concubine dislikes me for not being able to give birth to children, but my body is bad, and a large part of it is caused by the concubine's potion, and this matter can't be left as it is. ”
