readx; Mrs. Pei was stunned, she gradually understood what her daughter meant, 'Yang family second', she muttered to herself, "How come?" How could he become the second in the Yang family? ”

At this time, Mingyue also calmed down, she sat beside her mother, and said in a low voice: "Mother, if the Dugu family can be as talented as the Pei family and the Cui family, maybe it doesn't matter, but our Dugu family, you have also seen, except for the eldest brother who has a little talent, everyone else is mediocre, including my father, he is far from being compared with his uncle, our Dugu family has not been out of Jinshi for fifty years, one generation is not as good as the next, and most of the young generation now are gentlemen. Yesterday I heard that Huaiyuan and Huaiqing of the second uncle's family went to the orchid wine shop to drink flower wine, and the suspect was not well served, and injured the guy and the shopkeeper, and also spoke wildly in front of Qian Niuwei and thousands of onlookers, saying that they were the brothers-in-law of King Zhao, saying that they were Wang Fa, mother, I am worried! If Da Lang really has the order of the emperor in the future, why did the Dugu family become the first relative of Datang? If my sister also follows Da Lang, Da Lang will inevitably treat the Dugu family well, the official and the knight, and the Dugu family will be full of glory, at that time, whether the Dugu family can afford this kind of glory, glory plus body, if there is no talent to complement it, I am worried that it will harm the Dugu family, mother, daughter is really worried! ”

Mrs. Pei then understood her daughter's thoughts, she was thinking for the long-term of the Dugu family, Mrs. Pei felt guilty in her heart, it turned out that she had misunderstood her daughter, she held her daughter's hand, and smiled with relief: "I know, it is my mother who blames you, hey!" Why didn't you say it earlier, you kid?"

"The daughter is afraid that her father will know, and he will not understand her daughter. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mrs. Pei nodded, what kind of person is her husband, she knows very well in her heart, she seems to be shrewd and capable, but in fact, she is not, especially in the lack of vision in major matters, if she hadn't insisted on it, he would have sent her daughter to the palace to please the old emperor who was about to enter the earth, not to mention her daughter, but also to hurt Dugu Manmen, her daughter's worries are not superfluous, if her husband knows about this matter, he will definitely be furious again, scolding her daughter for not thinking about the future of Dugu's family, man! In many cases, they attach too much importance to immediate interests, and it is not as good as a woman to think about it in the long term.

She smiled and said: "I understand your thoughts, but don't say anything about it, leave a little leeway for your sister, maybe the matter is not as serious as you think, the Yang family is ugly because of Li Longji's mediocrity, Li Qingan is not that kind of person, besides, the Dugu family is also a family for hundreds of years, not the Yang family's nouveau riche, as long as the constraints are strict, the Dugu family will still have talents, like your grandfather, like your brother, all very good, my mother knows that you are very careful, but you are in the game after all, I haven't seen a lot of things enough, don't be too wronged by yourself, let your sister go with the flow! All right? ”

Mingyue nodded silently, and agreed to her mother's request, and at this time, a maid's report came from outside the door: "Princess, there is a distinguished guest visiting outside the house." ”

"Who is it?" Mingyue asked.

"It's Empress Zhang!"

"Ahh Mingyue was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and said to her mother: "Mother, I'll go and meet her, you drink the medicine first." ”

Mrs. Pei was not at ease, and told her daughter: "This Empress Zhang is not a good person, and the person who comes is not good, you have to be careful!" ”

"I know, I'll be careful."

Mingyue hurriedly went out, Mrs. Pei shook her head gently, she felt that her eldest daughter was too tired to live, and she cared too much about what others thought of her, so why bother? But the two sons of the second child are too much, she has to tell her husband about it, she can't indulge them, and make Mingyue embarrassed, thinking of this, she struggled to sit up, and said to the personal maid: "Help me go to the master!" ”

．．．．．．． Generally speaking, the queen comes to the minister's house to visit the family, which is an extremely rare thing, most of the minister's family members are summoned into the palace, even if they come to the minister's house by chance, it is also extremely grand, and the pomp is very large, and it is extremely rare to visit in a low-key manner like Queen Zhang, there is no way, Li Heng's power is weak, and Chang'an County is not under his control, and Queen Zhang can only descend to the rank and visit Dugu Mingyue like an ordinary visitor.

Not only that, she had to apply to Qianniuwei in advance before she came, and she could only enter Chang'an County after obtaining consent, in addition, her guards were not allowed to enter Chang'an County, and they were all waiting on Zhuque Street, and more than 1,000 sergeants from Qianniuwei escorted her to Dugu Mansion.

Empress Zhang is worthy of being a very powerful woman, she not only left the guards on Zhuque Street, but also only brought two palace maids, not even the eunuchs and other palace maids, and even the coachman who drove the carriage was arranged by Qianniuwei, her face did not change, as if nothing had happened.

The carriage stopped in front of the heavily guarded Dugu Mansion, Zhang Liangdi, with the support of the two palace maids, stepped out of the carriage, and at this time, Dugu Mingyue was already waiting at the door.

Although Zhang Liangdi is the queen, Mingyue knows that her husband did not recognize Li Heng as the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so she can't treat Zhang Liangdi as the queen, and she can't pay homage to the queen with courtesy, otherwise this will give people a misunderstanding and make others think that Li Qingan also recognized Li Heng, her words and deeds represent Li Qingan's attitude, and she can't be careless.

Mingyue just regarded Zhang Liangdi as a distinguished guest, and stepped forward to salute Yingying and said, "Little sister Mingyue sees Princess Zhang." ”

Zhang Liangdi heard her call herself a princess, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, she really didn't admit that she was the queen, if it was a princess, then she would be on the same level as Mingyue, she was Princess Yong, and Mingyue was Princess Zhao, Mingyue was not rude to call her like this.

Zhang Liangdi's face was not a little gloomy, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mingyue's arm affectionately and said, "I heard that Lingtang was sick, so the saint specially ordered me to visit. ”

Of course, Mingyue knew that coming to visit her mother was just an excuse, and she was looking for herself, so she smiled and said: "My mother is just dying a little sick, so I worry you, come, please sit in the house!" ”

Mingyue let Zhang Liangdi into the noble room, and ordered the maid to serve tea, the two sat down separately, Zhang Liangdi gave the palace maid a look, the palace maid immediately handed over a box, Zhang Liangdi opened the box, inside was an extremely rare thousand-year-old wild ginseng, she pushed the box in front of Mingyue, and said with a smile: "This is a little heart of the saint, to give Lingtang a nourishment." ”

Mingyue's principle surname is very strong, if Zhang Liangdi said that it was the prince's intention, or Suo's surname didn't say anything, maybe Mingyue would accept it, this is a gift of hospitality, but Zhang Liangdi emphasized that this is the intention of the saint, so, how can Mingyue accept it?

She smiled and pushed the thousand-year-old ginseng back, and said with a smile: "My mother's body is hot, and the doctor has repeatedly told me not to eat ginseng and astragalus and other hot medicines, we have received the princess's wishes, but we can't accept things." ”

"This ....."

Zhang Liangdi was speechless, she didn't expect Mingyue to be so tough, she didn't even refuse to accept her things, she was stunned for a while, she knew in her heart what the problem was? Then he smiled again: "Actually, this is not a gift from the saint, but a little bit of my heart, although I don't need it now, there will be a chance in the future, my sister will accept it first!" ”

Mingyue smiled, didn't say yes, didn't say no, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, waiting for Zhang Liangdi's next words, Zhang Liangdi had a feeling of punching the air, she felt that Mingyue was not as young and ignorant as she imagined, she put away the idea of despising Mingyue, and slowly said what she meant today.

"Princess Zhao, I came to your mansion, one is to visit Lingtang's illness, and the other is entrusted by the saint to discuss the knighthood of Lingzi, the saint intends to make Lingzi the king, and the actual grant is 3,000 households, if the princess does not like the title of king, you can put forward your own intentions, and the saint will definitely consider it."

Generally speaking, the prince's son-in-law is the prince of the county, and it is impossible to be the prince again, only the eldest son of the prince has the opportunity to be crowned the prince, Li Heng intends to seal Li Qing'an's son as the prince, which is obviously a special kind of wooing, and it is also one of the series of concessions he prepared, the purpose is to ask Li Qing'an to recognize his throne, and the first step is to open a gap from Mingyue, as long as Mingyue agrees, he will immediately issue an edict to seal Li Qing'an's son as the prince, so that he can grasp the initiative of public opinion.

Of course, Li Heng knew that Li Qingan would not agree easily, but Princess Zhao might not understand this truth, maybe she loved her son, so she agreed in one breath.

Mingyue smiled and said nothing, Zhang Liangdi thought she was tempted, so she encouraged her again: "In fact, the saint has always been obsessed with the old feelings of the Dugu family, the saint has said more than once, the Dugu family has contributed to the community, and it should be treated favorably, the saint not only wants to make Lingzi the prince, but also enshrine Lingzi as the prince of the country, and Lingtang as the lady of the country, so that the lonely family can enjoy the glory and wealth, this is the original words of the saint, the princess should think about it!" ”

At this time, Mingyue smiled faintly, pushed the ginseng back to her, stood up and said, "Send me off!" ”

Zhang Liangdi was stunned, Dugu Mingyue was actually driving herself away, she had visited dozens of ministers, and no one dared to be rude to herself like this, she could no longer restrain the annoyance in her heart, grabbed the ginseng, and said hatefully: "Okay!" If the opportunity comes, then you won't regret it later. ”

After speaking, she walked outside quickly, Mingyue didn't send her, turned around and went back to her room.

．．．．．．． Mingyue had just walked to the gate of her courtyard, but her sister Mingzhu ran over, "Sister, wait for me." ”

Mingyue turned around suddenly, she heard that her sister's tone was the same as before, and there was no longer that reluctant tone, and she suddenly felt a burst of joy in her heart.

"Mingzhu, what's wrong?"

"Daddy told me to invite you to visit!"

Mingzhu's eyebrows were no longer the gloom of noon, as if the sun had broken through the clouds, because her mother told her that her sister would no longer force her to marry, which made her overjoyed, and a boulder was removed from her heart.

Mingzhu stepped forward and whispered in her sister's ear: "It's a matter of the second uncle's family, and the aunt and the second uncle are here." ”

Mingyue's brows furrowed, she knew that it must be for her two cousins Huaiyuan and Huaiqing to drink and hurt someone, and now both of them have been temporarily detained by Qianniuwei, and the second uncle and second aunt have come to her to intercede?

"What's Daddy's attitude?"

Mingzhu pouted and said, "What other attitude can Daddy have?" He must have asked you to intercede, sister, I mean, you'd better not go, those two bastards should teach them a lesson, otherwise they will cause even more trouble in the future. ”

Mingyue groaned, it's not good not to go, after all, it's her second uncle and aunt, she has to give her father a little face, thinking of this, she nodded and said, "I'll go and see the situation first!" ”

Mingyue walked quickly to the small guest hall in the back house, and as soon as she entered the door, her second uncle Dugu Haojun and her aunt Mrs. Qu both stood up and said with a smile: "Mingyue! We're here to trouble you. ”

Mingyue smiled: "Second uncle and second aunt, don't be polite, they are all your own family, please sit down!" ”

Dugu Haoran next to him breathed a sigh of relief, he knew the temper of his eldest daughter, if she didn't do it, she wouldn't give herself face, as long as she came, things would be easy to do.

The incident happened yesterday evening, Dugu Haojun's two sons Huaiyuan and Huaiqing went to the orchid wine shop in Xishi to drink flower wine, drank too much, so they couldn't hold back the scale, and forcibly insulted the orchid who accompanied the wine, and was stopped by the guys who rushed in, so the two brothers became angry, and the entourage started together, smashed the wine shop to pieces, and smashed the guy and the shopkeeper with a chair, and shouted to thousands of onlookers, they are Li Qing'an's brother-in-law, they are Wang Fa, who dares to disagree?

It happened that Nan Jiyun led a team of Qianniuwei to pass here, and when he heard the reputation of his two brothers as bad generals, he immediately ordered someone to arrest the two of them into the barracks, and sent someone to report to the princess.

The two brothers have not been released yet, and they are anxious about their parents, so they rushed to Mingyue to intercede, Dugu Haojun sighed: "My two rebels have been spoiled by me since they were children, and the amount of alcohol is small, and they don't know anything after drinking a little wine, I'm afraid even they don't know what they did yesterday and what they said?" Mingyue, they are your cousins, they are all from the Dugu clan, you can help them this time! ”

Dugu Haoran next to him also said: "Yes! Mingyue, you can help the second uncle and aunt! They are not in good health, in case something happens to Huaiyuan and Huaiqing, how can this be. ”

Mingyue smiled faintly and said: "Father thinks the problem is too serious, the two cousins will not have anything, I think it is a good thing to teach them a lesson, to prevent them from causing more trouble in the future, I think in two days, the one who should lose money will lose money, the one who should apologize will apologize, the matter will be solved, they will be released, father and second uncle don't worry." ”

Dugu Haojun and his wife glanced at each other, and their eyes showed dissatisfaction, what is this called a solution, isn't this just to cut the face of their Dugu family? What is the difference between this and ordinary civilians.

Aunt Mrs. Qu couldn't help but say: "Huaiyuan and Huaiqing have been stubborn since they were children, and it's not the first time they have caused trouble, but the government heard that they are the children of the Dugu family, so they didn't say a word, they released them immediately, and they didn't even care, why did Mingyue of our family become a princess, and the status of the Dugu family declined?" I don't understand that. ”

Mrs. Qu's words were very unpleasant, and the contradiction was directly aimed at Mingyue, Mingyue was also slightly angry in her heart, she restrained the dissatisfaction in her heart, and still said calmly: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has always governed the army strictly, when have you heard that the Anxi army has disturbed the people?" The more his own people, the stricter his requirements, the Dugu family can't be arrogant just because they are the relatives of King Zhao, on the contrary, the Dugu family should take the lead in abiding by the law and discipline and treating the weak well, this is the style of the century-old family, in order to win the respect of the world, otherwise, what is the difference between the Dugu family and the Yang family? ”

"Mingyue, what you said is wrong."

Dugu Haojun was extremely dissatisfied and said: "Since ancient times, the Dugu family is a relative of the emperor, of course they should be treated preferentially, Huaiyuan and Huaiqing are not going to kill people and set fires, they just smashed a Hu people's wine shop and injured two people, what's the big deal, originally!" Qianniuwei shouldn't arrest people, this has seriously damaged the reputation of our Dugu family, I don't pursue them, they still refuse to let go, doesn't that Nan Jiyun even understand this bit of human sophistication? I see what he understands, he just wants to deliberately cut the face of the Dugu family, and also cut your face, by the way, I heard that his wife's surname is Cui, could it be the Cui family? Mingyue, you have to be careful! It is likely that the Cui family is also thinking of sending their daughter to Li Qingan. ”

"Second uncle, don't talk nonsense, General Nan's wife has nothing to do with the Cui family."

Mingyue finally got angry, she said with a cold face: "Smash the wine shop, I can come to pay for them, hurt people, I can go to appease and apologize, but Huaiyuan and Huaiqing must be punished accordingly, this is my principle, I will not give in to this." ”

There was silence in the small guest hall, and suddenly, Dugu Haoran stood up with his wife, and said with a gloomy face: "This is my family's business, I don't dare to work with Princess Zhao, I will not have these two sons, let the Anxi army kill them, they are to blame, and they are to leave!" ”

The couple rushed away angrily, and after a while, Dugu Haoran also calmed down and said slowly: "Mingyue, you disappointed me too much." ”

He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, Mingyue sat in the lobby, fell into deep contemplation, I don't know how long it took, she sighed softly and got up and went back to her courtyard.

Back in the room, Mingzhu was teasing her nephew to play, the little guy was tickling and giggling, seeing her sister coming back, Mingzhu quickly got up and asked, "How is it?" ”

Mingyue shook her head, and Mingzhu sneered and said: "I knew that this would be the case, the second uncle and the second aunt are famous for protecting their shortcomings, and so are the third master's family, how can they listen to your advice, Huaiyuan and Huaiqing will be killed by them sooner or later." ”

"Don't talk about it."

Mingyue picked up her son, kissed him on the little cheek, and said to Mingzhu: "I have already decided, I will move out of Dugu Mansion tomorrow and go to my own home in Huaiyuanfang, do you want to go with me?" ”

"As long as you don't force me to marry, I'll go with you."

"Don't worry! Since I have promised my mother, I will not regret it, you go and pack your things, and by the way, go and tell Ruhua to say for me, and ask her to pack her things too. ”

Mingzhu lives with Ruhua, and Mingzhu happily agrees and hurries away.

At this time, Mingyue's face turned cold, she handed over her son to the nurse, walked to the desk, and wrote four words on the paper with a pen: 'Severely punished according to law!' ’

He folded the note, handed it to his personal maid and said, "You quickly hand it over to General Nan Jiyun and tell her that the reputation of the general is more important than Mount Tai." ”
