When the emperor arrived at Cining Palace, the eldest prince Zhao Zhen happened to come out of Cining Palace.

"The retainer hasn't come to greet the imperial grandmother for a long time, and it just so happened that he entered the palace today, so he came to Cining Palace to visit the imperial grandmother." The eldest prince said respectfully.

The biological mother of the eldest prince is the deceased Qing Concubine, Qing Concubine and Concubine De are cousins, after the death of Qing Concubine, the eldest prince was raised by Concubine De, in addition to the eldest prince, Concubine De has her own four princes and two princesses, and the queen only gave birth to three princes and the eldest princess, so that Concubine De's children are one more than the queen.

The emperor bowed his head, he still attached great importance to this eldest son, if it weren't for the eldest prince and not the queen, I am afraid that the crown prince would have been established long ago.

"Okay, you have filial piety, this is very good, since you have entered the palace, let's also go and see the queen and Concubine De." The Emperor said.

"No." The eldest prince said.

The emperor happily walked into Cining Palace, and as soon as he entered, he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.

The third princess is also there, she is only six years old, and there are tears on her palm-sized little face. The Queen Mother sat on the rose chair with an expressionless face, but the emperor knew that the Queen Mother was unhappy.

The Emperor laughed; "The boss just left, did he make you angry? Tell me that I will punish him to come to Cining Palace and kneel. ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "The boss is a sensible person, what are you punishing him for?" I just heard about the Marquis of Qingyuan's mansion, and my heart was panicked. ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother pointed to the third princess and said, "Look, Jiahui is scared." ”

The third princess flattened her mouth and said with a sob: "Cousin Yao gave me a little rabbit made of white fox fur, and another one for her sister Linlin...... Linlin is dead......"

The emperor sighed and said to the female official on the side, "Send the third princess back." ”

The third princess saluted the emperor and the queen mother, wiped her tears, and followed the female official out.

Seeing that the third princess was gone, the emperor said: "That Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is a mud that can't be pasted on the wall, and when my father was there, I didn't mention them, but you see, alas, it is obviously a fierce general, and he wants to learn the style of a scholar, and he will learn like that, but they have learned some styles that can't be put on the table." ”

The Queen Mother's heart moved, and she hesitated and asked: "The mourning family will not interfere in the affairs of the court, but if the emperor wants to dispose of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, you must also think about Yaoyao, Yaoyao is still a girl of the Hua family after all." ”

The emperor hurriedly reassured: "Queen Mother, I came to see you just to ask you to come forward......

Two days later, the Queen Mother summoned Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Lu, and the second wife of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion in Cining Palace.

An hour later, Mrs. Cai staggered out of Cining Palace with a red face and red ears, and the first-class makeup and hair accessories were gone.

Mrs. Lu followed her, but she didn't help her, while the second lady walked at the back, smiling adorningly.

The Queen Mother reprimanded her in front of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, and took away her title.

When she left the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, she was still Mrs. Cai, and when she came back, she was already Mrs. Cai.

As the head of the house, Mrs. Lu could not escape the blame, and the Queen Mother asked her to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to copy Buddhist scriptures for three months.

Ci'en Temple was built by Emperor Gaozong of the Great Zhou Dynasty for his biological mother, and it is the place where the emperor's relatives and noble daughters cultivated the Buddha.

Since Mrs. Cai no longer has a seal, she is not worthy of copying scriptures in the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, in the three months that you are away, my brother-in-law will definitely take care of the big and small affairs in the house for you." The second wife said.

Mrs. Lu glared at her and said coldly: "Don't work for the second brother and sister, you and the second master should stay in your own home." ”

Weren't you happy when you parted? Do you want to come back and take care of the three and four? Dream on.

According to the instructions of the Queen Mother, Mrs. Lu didn't even return to the house, only took a maid and went directly to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Although the second wife was unhappy, she still accompanied Mrs. Cai back to the Qingyuan Marquis's mansion, only then did she know that the eunuch had just come to read the holy decree, and the Qingyuan Marquis was demoted to Qingyuan Bo, and the old man Hua Da was not strict in governing the family, and he was fined one year.

The second wife got the news, and she didn't even enter the second door, turned around and left.

The red sleeves and green sleeves supported Mrs. Cai and walked towards Chunhui Hall, and a mother-in-law ran in front of her, and said in a panic: "Old lady, the old man is asking people to move your things out, saying that Chunhui Hall is going to be sealed." ”

Is this because Chunhui Hall won't even let her live?

Mrs. Cai was angry: "This unfilial thing! ”

But no matter how Mrs. Cai scolded, Master Hua didn't show up, or Master Hua Si came over and placed her in a remote courtyard.

"Mother, dissipate your anger, don't be angry. The eldest brother is an official in the court, and it is difficult for him to do it. ”

Old Mrs. Cai spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the face of Master Hua Si, and scolded: "You dog-like thing, as cheap as your mother-in-law, get out, get away!" ”

Master Hua Si knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and hurriedly retreated, until there was no one next to him, and he wiped the thick phlegm off his face with a handkerchief.

The matter of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion soon spread throughout the capital, and the two children of the long house were already preparing to discuss marriage, so that the matchmaker did not dare to come to the door again.

Uncle Cai and Mrs. Cai quarreled for two more days, and after some bargaining, Master Hua took five thousand taels of silver out, and they gave up, Qingyuan Hou Mansion, no, now it is Qingyuan Bo Mansion, and finally restored tranquility.

The weather in the capital is getting hotter, but Hua Jingyao's mood is getting better and better.

Today, the wind is mild and the sun is shining, and she took a few summer shirts newly sewn for her father to Zhelu Lane.

Before I entered the alley, I saw a lot of people gathered outside Zhelu Alley, and the cry of a woman came.

Sting ran over and soon came back, saying, "Girl, there is a lady who came to the capital with her child to look for a husband, but when she arrived, she found out that her husband had stopped marrying another wife, and this lady was crying." ”

"Hey, all the people who live here are scholars, where is this lady and her father-in-law?" Hua Jingyao asked.

has a beautiful father who lives alone, and when his daughter is not at ease, he asked Shi Yi to check all the neighbors in this alley.

"It's Chen Juren who lives in the alley, this lady claims that she is Chen Juren's wife." Sting said.

Hua Jingyao raised a hand behind her: "Xiao Ai." ”

Xiao Ai quickly handed a palm-sized booklet to her, Hua Jingyao opened the booklet and found the page of Chen Juren at the entrance of the alley.

Chen Juren's name is Chen Wenchao, a native of Tongzhou, his parents died, his wife Liu, and a pair of twins. After Chen Juren was lifted, he lived in the capital with his wife and children.

Chen Juren is serious, does not go to the hook column, does not like to go to those poetry and tea parties, there is no concubine room and no room, the only hobby is writing, he is a frequent visitor to the pen washing lane, and his calligraphy is famous among the students in the capital.
