Chapter 128: Betting on each other
At the top of the hall, Xiao Yuhong sat on the main seat. Empress Dowager Zhao sat in the upper left seat, followed by the noble concubine Huo Mengluo. Empress Meng Yunting sat in the upper right seat.
The seats below are arranged in a row according to the rank of the official.
The first two seats are empty, the seat on the left is Xiao Yulin's, and the seat on the right is Xiao Ziteng's. Behind the seats on both sides, there are several princes and princesses sitting separately.
In the seats lined up, other important ministers and wives sit on the main seat, and the children of the relatives sit behind the important ministers.
Xiao Yulin and Xiao Ziteng walked into the main hall side by side, and bowed in front of the hall one by one.
"The son has seen the queen mother! I've seen the royal brother and sister-in-law! ”
"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother! The sons have seen their father, the emperor and the queen mother! ”
Xiao Yuhong raised his hand and said, "It's all exempt!" ”
Xiao Yuhong has never smiled in front of the ministers, and only when he arrived at the Empress Dowager Zhao could he see some smiles on his face.
The ministers and family members bowed down and said, "I've seen Lord Rui!" I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
Xiao Yuhong flicked his hand again and said, "Sit down!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone took their seats.
The singer and the dancer walked to the hall to perform again, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded.
Empress Dowager Zhao glanced at Xiao Yulin and Xiao Ziteng, and then said to Xiao Yulin with a smile: "You two uncles and nephews have a good relationship, and they like to be together in everything!" Who missed the time today, why did they enter the palace at this time? ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Oh, Queen Mother, there are guests from the Erchen Mansion today, and the Erchen entertains the guests, so that he overslept in the afternoon. It was the prince who came to the house to urge his son, and the son knew that he had missed the time. ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Yes! When the imperial grandmother and grandson went to the imperial uncle's mansion, the imperial uncle was still sleeping in bed! The grandson knew that it was not too early, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he asked the imperial uncle to sit in the grandson's sedan chair and entered the palace together. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao also knew that Zhong Yuqi went to King Rui's Mansion today. When Xiao Yulin, he overslept while entertaining guests, and his face was not good-looking for a moment. However, soon Empress Dowager Zhao regained her smile.
Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said to Xiao Ziteng: "The status of the prince is precious, but King Rui is the prince and your elder, and it is not indispensable for King Rui to sit in your sedan chair." This is also clear, your uncles and nephews are deeply affectionate! In the future, your uncle and nephew will also complement each other! ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "That's natural! The grandson and the imperial uncle have grown up together, and the imperial uncle has no less to take care of his grandchildren! Uncle Huang is good to his grandson! ”
Xiao Yuhong's face did not change, but who could know that he was a little unhappy at this time.
Meng Yunting also smiled and said to Xiao Ziteng: "Although King Rui is your uncle, he is only one year older than you, you can't always make trouble for King Rui!" ”
Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said to Meng Yunting: "King Rui is more skinny than the prince, and it is a good thing that King Rui does not cause trouble for the prince!" In the future, if King Rui has any difficulties, the prince will also deal with King Rui's life! ”
Meng Yunting said: "The queen mother is too worried! The prince and King Rui have a deep relationship, and they will help each other if they have anything to do. ”
"Hehehe......"
Empress Dowager Zhao only smiled.
Meng Yunting also had a smile on her face, glanced at Xiao Zixing, the second prince who was sitting behind Xiao Yulin, and then glanced at Huo Mengluo defiantly, and then naturally withdrew her gaze.
Meng Yunting was born in a family of military generals, and General Meng had some disagreements with Prime Minister Huo Cheng back then, so they made their own bets.
Prime Minister Huo Cheng has always been a former prince's faction, so he naturally bet on the former prince and married his sister-in-law in the house to the former prince. Empress Dowager Zhao's maiden family is also a family of military generals, and she has a relationship with General Meng, and General Meng naturally bet on Xiao Yuhong, the sixth prince, and also married his sister-in-law in his house to Xiao Yuhong.
However, Prime Minister Huo Cheng, who was a chicken thief, noticed some signs, and in order to achieve a win-win situation, he later married his sister in the house to Xiao Yuhong as a side concubine. This is also the reason why the former crown prince fell so quickly, because Prime Minister Huo Cheng made a wall grass.
Xiao Yuhong has always been wary of Prime Minister Huo, although Prime Minister Huo Chengxiang was prepared with both hands, he did not refuse Prime Minister Huo's overtures, and Prime Minister Huo Chengxiang did more harm than harm to himself.
However, Empress Dowager Zhao was not satisfied.
In order to win over the power, Empress Dowager Zhao not only asked Xiao Yuhong to marry Huo Yunting as a concubine, but also let Zhao Rong'er, the daughter of the Zhao family, be Xiao Yuhong's side concubine. Now Prime Minister Huo Cheng's purpose is unknown, she doesn't want Prime Minister Huo Cheng to take the lead, but she can't refuse Prime Minister Huo Cheng, so she set the day of accepting the two side concubines on the same day.
At that time, there was a polite system, in order to respect the original match and maintain the status of the eldest son, if you want to take a concubine, you need to go to the house for three years before you can go to school, so Huo Mengluo and Zhao Rong'er entered the Six Princes' Mansion on the same day.
Xiao Yuhong was not idle, and the concubines on both sides could not be despised lightly, so in front of the mother-in-law on both sides, he took the form of drawing lots, and finally caught Zhao Rong'er's name.
Later, this matter also became the talk of others after dinner. It wasn't until Xiao Yuhong's situation became clear that everyone didn't dare to talk about this matter anymore.
Meng Yunting became pregnant after marrying Xiao Yuhong, and gave birth to her son Xiao Ziteng, which can be described as a great joy. Later, he gave birth to a big county lord such as the jade county lord.
At the same time, Huo Mengluo and Zhao Rong'er successively gave birth to Xiao Zixing, the second son, and Zhao Rong'er gave birth to the second county lord, Yangchun County Lord. This made the Huo family secretly proud for a while, and the Zhao family was very depressed.
However, Zhao Rong'er still had the fourth son Xiao Ziyan behind her, which made the Zhao family breathe a sigh of relief.
Later, Meng Yunting had the three county lords Mingyu county lords, and Huo Mengluo had the four county lords Yuerong county lords.
Xiao Yuhong didn't want these families to become bigger in his heart, and he rarely stayed in their yard in the future. In addition, there are several concubines in Xinna, and Xiao Yuhong himself is busy with official business, which becomes the reason why he does not go to these courtyards.
Xiao Yuhong has a concubine, who is not from a high background, and is the daughter of the Imperial History Mansion, named Zhang Luyao.
At that time, Xiao Yuhong went to Zhang's mansion for trivial matters, and happened to meet Zhang Luyao, so he fell in love with her at first sight. It's a pity that Xiao Yuhong can't be the master of the marriage, so he has to take her as a concubine.
After Zhang Luyao entered the house, she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus for Xiao Yuhong, the third son Xiao Ziqian and the county lord Siyu of the five counties. After Xiao Yuhong ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhang Luyao was still a favorite concubine and was given the title "Mu".
Even if Zhang Luyao is favored, she also knows that she is wise and cautious. Even at this banquet, she politely rejected Xiao Yuhong on the grounds that it did not conform to the etiquette system.
For banquets with outsiders, ordinary concubines in the harem are not allowed to attend. They were only allowed to attend banquets in the royal family.
After Zhao Rong'er gave birth to the lord of Yangchun, people became depressed because of the pressure. finally had a fourth son, Zhao Rong'er was sick because of the big change in mood, and it didn't take long for her to go.
