Chapter 137: Seizure of power
The Xiao family's New Year has been deserted, Xiao Jingkang has hardly regretted why he agreed to send his daughter away, the family lacks a baby daughter, and even the New Year seems to have lost the fun of previous years.
So the Qin family remembered her husband and youngest son; Xiao Jingkang's family misses Xiao Yao; Li Jiaoying misses her husband; Yuan Yutong thought that he could spend the New Year comfortably and happily after getting rid of the little demon star, but everyone else was thinking about his family, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't sleep steadily. If her elation didn't seem appropriate, she had to go with the flow and pretend to be a loving mother.
The most restless person in the New Year is Xiao Jun, who asked his father countless times a day, "When will my sister come back, we are both going to celebrate our birthdays, let's pick her up!" ”
A husband, plus a son, Tong Mingyu is two big heads every day, she really wants to ask this father and son, you can manage the peace now, what about after she gets married! Can you still go back to your parents' house every year for the New Year? Unless you recruit a son-in-law for Ping An as your father-in-law and husband said, but this candidate is not said to have it, what if there is no suitable one, will you raise your daughter for a lifetime? Tong Mingyu has a hunch that among the four children, her daughter's marriage will be the most troublesome and troublesome.
The atmosphere in King Jing's mansion is not much better than that of the Xiao family, and the Empress Dowager Han actually issued an edict a year ago to send Concubine Han's mother and daughter back to the palace. When the emperor got the news, Concubine Han was already on her way back to the palace, and Yun Yichen could only watch, and there was nowhere to go.
Yin Qianhua is much calmer than the emperor and Yun Yichen, she has been in charge of the palace for nearly a year, the rules that should be established have been established, and the people who should be replaced have also been changed. Concubine Han can only show off her power in her own Splendid Garden now, and there is no place for her to speak in the palace for a long time.
However, just in case, Yin Qianhua warned her children to be careful of the people in Jinxiuyuan, even if it is a maid, don't be gullible, the brother and sister quickly nodded and said that they had remembered the words of the concubine, and they would definitely guard against Concubine Han and her group.
Although the emperor was put on the table by his own mother, since he can sit in that position, who will be obedient! Not long after Concubine Han returned to the palace, the emperor ordered many masters to surround the Splendid Garden. The reason turned out to be that she was afraid that Concubine Han would leave the palace for too long, and there might be someone in the palace who would bully their mother and daughter, so they sent someone to name them. In order to protect them, three people were actually placed under house arrest.
When Empress Dowager Han heard the news, she immediately went to question her son what he wanted to do.
"Queen Mother, my son is also doing this for the good of Concubine Han, she is a person with a noble status and much more decent than the imperial brother's concubine. In case the servants in the palace are snubbed, the people sent by her son can also support her! The emperor was sarcastic, and his tone was neither salty nor light.
"What's wrong with the queen mother letting your cousin go back to the palace, which family has a married daughter who will live in her mother's house for a year." Empress Dowager Han didn't think she was wrong.
"Can you only see Concubine Han in your eyes? According to her temperament, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not do something when Brother Xuan is away, if something happens in the palace, how will her son explain to Brother Xuan. ”
"The queen mother has already warned her to settle down, and she will never do foolish things again."
"Confused, hehe, the queen mother is a person who is bent on the Han family and the Han family, since you are so worried about the people and affairs of the Han family, there must be no extra time to take care of the harem, my son will order the queen to be in charge of the harem, you just need to be busy with the affairs of the two national mansions."
"You ......" This is to seize power, the Empress Dowager Han actually doesn't want to think about it, in the harem of the past dynasties, the queen should be the rightful hostess, and there is no dynasty and generation where the queen mother has the sole power. The emperor thought that the Empress Dowager Han had paid a lot for her son, so she always turned a blind eye to her and cronyism. If it weren't for the Han family's imminent move, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Han's desire to lift her mother's family more and more, the emperor might still continue to pretend to be confused.
"My son still has something to do, go back to the imperial study first, Chen He asked people to go to the palaces to inform them, from now on, the affairs of the harem will be in the hands of the queen, and the queen mother will not interfere again."
"Yes." Chen He went down to deliver the order.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you!" The palace maids and eunuchs in Fengxiang Palace shouted for a while.
The emperor paused, stood still for a moment and then continued to move forward, now is not the time to be soft-hearted, if he compromises today, then things will not be easy to do in the future.
In the past, as long as he had any discomfort, the two sons would be very nervous, but now that the younger son is separated from him, and the eldest son has become ignorant today, at this moment, the Empress Dowager Han is really a little flustered and scared.
The emperor, who returned to the imperial study, sat there for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly before going to see the excerpts. It's not that he doesn't care about his own mother, even if he knows that the queen mother often uses this method to coerce and coerce himself and Brother Xuan, the brothers still try their best to cooperate, what do they get in the end?
The Empress Dowager Han did not attend the banquet on the first day of the new year because she was unwell, and the emperor sent someone to send many supplements, and then asked the queen to attend with herself.
This year, because King Jing was not there, Yun Yichen entered the palace alone, he first went to Fengxiang Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Han, and after a few formulaic greetings, Yun Yichen turned around and wanted to leave.
"Ah Chen, do you also blame the emperor's grandmother?"
"Grandchildren don't dare." Don't dare not not blame, Yun Yichen lowered his head and replied.
"Don't dare." Empress Dowager Han slowly chewed these two words, this is her good son and grandson, now all her wings are stiff, and they have learned to resist their own queen mother, hum, the more you look down on the Han family, the more the mourning family has to lift them up. Since he was able to get his two nieces into the palace and the palace more than ten years ago, he can definitely marry his nieces and granddaughters to two outstanding grandsons now, and no one wants to stop his plan.
"The imperial grandmother is also thinking about your father, if Concubine Han does not go back, there will definitely be people in Kyoto who will point fingers at the palace, your father and even you, and there are many things that are rumors, and they can't be trusted, Ah Chen must believe in the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother will never harm you."
"Thank you to the imperial grandmother for thinking about the palace and her grandson everywhere." Yun Yichen lowered his head and replied, unable to hear joy and anger.
"A few days ago, someone sent a few of the best horses to the Korean Mansion, and Grandpa Guo immediately thought of you, why didn't he let others choose first, saying that he must wait for you to pick before it can be the turn of the buddies in the mansion, do you see when you have free time, how about a trip?"
This is seeing that he is not interested in the granddaughter of the Han family, does the Han Gong plan to go into battle in person? Hehe...... Yun Yichen couldn't understand the Han family's way of thinking. They have already sent a person like Concubine Han to stir up the miasma in the palace, and they actually want to get a granddaughter in. Even if you think with your toes, you should know that you won't agree at all. Don't say that Han Yueyan is not very good, even if she is the number one beauty in the world, she will never marry her.
"Grandson thank you for the kindness of the Guogong Mansion, but there are already many famous horses in the palace, and there is really no extra place to place horses, please ask the imperial grandmother to refuse instead of grandchildren! If you have nothing else to do, and your grandson still has to go to see the emperor's uncle, you will retire first. After saying this, Yun Yichen didn't look at Empress Dowager Han's face, turned around and left the hall.
Yun Yichen thought as he walked, even if he couldn't marry a wife in his life, he would never want the granddaughter of the Han family, and he didn't know who set the rules, a man can get married after he is fifteen years old, and he has to learn from his father that he will not marry if he is less than twenty, it is best to be like the fourth master of the Xiao family, and wait until twenty-five before mentioning marriage, hey, how can I think of the Xiao family again!
A face that was sometimes playful and sometimes tearful appeared in his mind again, Yun Yichen quickly shook his head after realizing this, he must have not slept well last night, and his head became bad, otherwise how could he suddenly think of the little girl?
Yun Yichen was summoned to the imperial study by the emperor after the banquet.
"What have you been up to lately?" The emperor knows his nephew's temper very well, if you don't ask, he will not say a word, this kid has never taken the initiative.
"Practice martial arts and study." Yun Yichen replied simply and concisely.
"You kid ......" is more precious than his own emperor, except when he was with Xiao Jiu, I haven't seen him talk much, what if there is a daughter-in-law in the future, do you want other girls to accommodate you everywhere? Why don't you match the granddaughter of the Han family to him, lest others have to think badly about this person who doesn't understand taste and amorous feelings every day in the future.
"But there is news from my father."
"Your father is very good now, he and General Xiao have already met, and it is estimated that in a while, they will be back."
Yun Yichen raised his head and looked at the emperor seriously, as if he was afraid of being deceived, which made the emperor very unhappy, and dared to openly question that this guy from the emperor was definitely the first, should he consider writing a marriage decree or something, otherwise this kid will become more and more lawless.
"I am not only your uncle, but also an emperor, is it necessary to lie to you?" Can you not me off? Originally, I wanted to praise him for taking good care of the palace for a year and giving him something to show encouragement, but now? It's gone, it's all gone, who made him angry with himself.
"That...... General Xiao went to pick up my father, Wang Yougong, and when he returns, shouldn't Uncle Huang reward him well? ”
"For example?" The emperor asked.
"As for what to reward and how to reward it, that's your business."
"You're asking for it! Or pleading! "Is there such a request from you, stinky boy? That's not right! Didn't they all say that Ah Chen and General Xiao were incompatible? He's singing that kind of play now!
Yun Yichen's idea is very simple, he has helped the old man to ask for a reward, and the little girl will never be angry anymore!
