Chapter 147: Dragging His Feet (3)
He knelt down and kowtowed, closed his eyes and said, "The son has nothing to say, please ask my father to surrender." ”
The emperor pondered for a while, and said coldly: "The face of the Heavenly Family has been lost, and I must be vigilant and alert to you." From today onwards, the amount of money in the Yu Palace's Mansion will be halved, and as for the title, ......"
Before he finished speaking, he hesitated whether to be ruthless, and a small eunuch outside looked at him twice, as if he had something to say, and the emperor said to Liu Gonggong: "What's wrong?" You go and ask. ”
Gonggong Liu hurriedly went over to ask for an understanding, and came back and whispered: "Your Majesty, the concubine is kneeling outside the Qianming Palace." ”
Wei Changze was taken aback, "What does this matter have to do with the concubine, why should the concubine ask for guilt?" ”
The emperor said angrily: "Shut up, the concubine is atoning for your sins!" See? The mistakes you make will be borne by your mother, and people in the world will not only feel that the heavenly family has no bearing, but also that your mother and concubine have not taught her son well! ”
Wei Changze was no longer convinced, he was still very distressed about his mother, and said dejectedly: "Erchen knows his mistake, Erchen really knows his mistake." I beg my father not to blame my mother, how can you punish your sons, don't let your mother suffer such a crime? ”
The emperor has already thought about it, the matter has become big, in order not to let people poke their backbones and speak, the results of the treatment must be convincing to the people.
The prince drove the woman who shared the bed crazy, to put it mildly, it was violent and immoral, since she didn't cut the knight now, then Concubine Ying would have to be punished more or less, so that the mother and son could share the burden, at least let those infamy not only go to Wei Changze.
The emperor felt that he and Concubine Ying should have a good heart, and they both thought of this, so she took off the hairpin and asked for guilt.
"You go back and reflect, in the past two months, you don't have to go to court." The emperor made a final decision, and then tapped the other sons, "If you have nothing to do with this matter, don't think that it is too much to look at other people's jokes, as my child, you must always keep a clear head, and understand what you should do and what you should not do. ”
Then he flicked his sleeves and said, "Get out!" ”
The princes hurriedly retired, and after walking out of the Qianming Palace, Wei Changze saw that the concubine was wearing plain clothes on the first day of the New Year, with a cloak and eyes kneeling firmly, and he was so distressed that he wanted to rush up and help her up.
However, this time, Wei Changyuan would never allow his younger brother to do anything bad, he pulled him with his hand and said in a low voice: "The mother concubine has already done this for you, if you have a little conscience, don't add to the chaos." ”
Wei Changze's eyes were red, in the past, Mu Hesheng was beaten, Pei Miaoqing was harmed, Miss Ling had an accident, and even he indulged and got sick, he felt nothing, only this time, he really felt that he was very wrong.
Concubine Ying looked ahead, as if she hadn't seen this crowd, and knelt there straight, only looking in the direction of Qianming Palace.
Her gaze was firm, her clothes were properly dressed, and she didn't move, even if she knelt there, no one could step on it.
And after all, she is the emperor's concubine, no matter what the situation, as long as the position is still there, she can't be disrespected, the princes all abide by the rules, and they salute when they pass, Wei Changze followed behind the brothers, and the long flick was extremely serious.
Wei Changjue and the others went out of the palace together, and at this juncture, no one deliberately touched the moldy head of the Yu Palace, and they got into their own carriages and went their separate ways.
Lan Yi has been waiting for news at home, and after hearing that Wei Changjue came back, she hurried over to inquire, Wei Changjue told about this morning's incident, and she was relieved to learn that it did not affect Prince Gong's mansion.
After that, some news came out in the palace one after another, and Concubine Yan Daoying was reprimanded by the emperor and asked to go back to Changfu Palace for seven days, so she could reflect.
It is said that when Concubine Ying went back, she did not sit on her shoulders, wore a single dress, walked to Changfu Palace step by step, and when she met the palace people, she was still the same as before, and others did not dare to underestimate it, and saluted respectfully, and she accepted it calmly.
However, the six palaces are all looking at her jokes, in recent years, Concubine Ying has held great power, even if she has sisters, she is just someone else clinging, and when she is unlucky, even if she has no grudge against her, she will say "happy" from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that as a mother, she came out to bear all this, making the other concubines gloat, and somewhat sighed.
As soon as Wei Changze returned to Yuwang's Mansion, he had a heavy mother-son relationship in his heart, and he lost his temper at Mu Hesheng, "Isn't the back house all in your hands, how can you let her run out?" Do you know how I was scolded by my father this morning, and how I got out of the Qianming Palace?! And my mother, I have never seen her suffer such a sin since I was a child! ”
Mu Hesheng looked at him, not shocked or impatient, and asked calmly: "After this incident, can you still be the prince?" ”
"Can be a fart!" He burst into a foul mouth, "My virtue is now known to everyone in the capital, and after a while, the whole world will know that even if my father makes the youngest Changshu the prince, he will not let me do it!" ”
Mu Hesheng got up, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over, but was directly snatched by Wei Changze and smashed to the ground.
The teacup was torn apart, and the crisp sound attracted the temptation of the servant in front of the door, "Your Highness? ”
"Get out, get out!"
Mu Hesheng sighed, turned around and said, "You guys close the door and go down first, don't tell outsiders about the things in the house." ”
The minions hurriedly closed the door.
Mu Hesheng turned around, sat down beside Wei Changze, and said calmly: "I know you have a belly of fire, but you shouldn't be angry at me at this moment, those people who turn around must tell the concubine." Don't worry, I'm not saying that the concubine has arranged someone in our house, what's wrong, but if she knows about it, she must be worried. ”
Wei Changze was full of gratitude to his mother, and naturally he didn't allow others to say anything bad, but fortunately, Mu Hesheng was like an interpreter flower at this time, he understood what he was thinking, and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss Ling's matter has happened, the mother concubine stands up and carries it for you, you can bear it well, she is a mother, she feels sorry for you the most, if you don't appreciate it, but feel crooked guilty, she will be even more uncomfortable." ”
Wei Changze gritted his teeth, "You're right, the mother concubine has paid too much for us, and we can't let her be angry anymore." I shouldn't, shouldn't have accepted so many women in. ”
Mu Hesheng sneered in his heart, but his face was generous and peaceful, and he only blindly comforted, "In this world, some people like money, some people like reading, and some people like women. Although you like this, you don't really treat me as a wife, in fact, all the things in the house are all done by themselves, and you can't be blamed. It's just that how the bell girl went out and how she got into the street, it's very strange. ”
Wei Changze suspected that it was naturally Mu Hesheng before, but when he heard her say this, he was not like it, and he was a little confused for a while, and asked: "Isn't it because the people in the palace didn't take care of it?" You don't even know? ”
Mu Hesheng shook his head, "After all, I am not in charge of the palace, I asked and asked, they were all shirking their responsibilities, only saying that the guards were negligent for a while, and they dozed off, and they were slipped out by her. And the person sent by the mother, I can't even punish him, so the truth hasn't been asked yet. ”
Wei Changze suddenly got up, "Then I'll ask them." ”
Mu Hesheng hurriedly grabbed him and said softly: "Why bother, they are all people sent by the concubine, you ask them, you are losing the face of the concubine." At this time, don't care which subordinate let Miss Ling go, and wait for the matter to be cold and over, and then investigate. It's just that when you go back to it, you should also think about it, if you can't be the prince, whose heart is it? ”
Obviously, there are so many brothers, but after the accumulation of all kinds of things in the past, the only one who has this kind of ability to reach the sky with his hands and eyes is the second emperor brother who is floating in Wei Changze's mind now.
"Not really...... For the position of the crown prince, is it really even his own brother who wants to be harmed? He muttered.
Mu Hesheng instead comforted him, "It's not harmful, in fact, it's just the result of making a loss of virtue, at most it is useless, compared to the kind of treason and collaboration with the enemy, it can be said that it is not painful." ”
"Doesn't it hurt?" Wei Changze snorted coldly, "If you really don't hurt yourself, you don't know how much it hurts." Our family is all in charge of the people sent by the mother's concubine, so it is very likely that the mother's concubine let the bell girl out, so I have no fate with the East Palace, isn't it just paving the way for the second brother? ”
Mu Hesheng said softly: "I just had a faint idea in my heart, but I never thought that you would say it directly." In this case, to put it bluntly, it's just our speculation, let's be quiet, don't let the concubine's people listen to it and chew the root of the tongue, and make the concubine sad. ”
"They only care about whether they are sad or not, but they never think that I am sad or not." Wei Changze slammed his fist on the table, dejected, and extremely sad.
At this time, only Mu Hesheng was by his side, and he seemed to be thinking about him wholeheartedly, Wei Changze seemed to be seeing his wife for the first time, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Let's have a good time in the future." ”
Mu Hesheng said "um" lightly, did not say "good", nor did he say "bad", and then coaxed his husband to eat lunch, and then served him to take a nap, and then came out of the main house with a tired face.
Dong Zhi had been guarding outside, and after seeing Mu Hesheng, he said timidly: "Miss...... You ......"
Mu Hesheng didn't have to listen to her to know what to say, so he raised his eyes directly and asked, "Did you see it?" Only when he is down, will he be very good to me, men are like this, when they are soaring, they have long hugged left and right and don't know where to put their wives, and when they have nothing, they suddenly wake up to who is with him. ”
Dong Zhi couldn't help but say: "The future of His Royal Highness King Keyu is also your future, you cut off all his ways, if we are suppressed by the new emperor in the future, your life will also be very hard." ”
"The days of the Third Emperor Uncle, do you look at the bitterness?" Mu Hesheng smiled indifferently, "It's not bitter." What is the pain of being able to have a life, to enjoy glory and wealth, and to be able to live a life in peace and quiet in your own house without worrying? It is because these people always feel that the money in their hands is not enough, the glory and power on their bodies are not enough, and they want more women, so they will fight. All kinds of calculations and thousands of constraints are the real suffering. ”
Dong Zhi found that he couldn't talk more and more about his own young lady, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "After that, do we have to do such a thing again?" ”
Mu Hesheng shook his head, "It's about not necessary, he should, he can't get up again." ”
In fact, everyone knows that the back house is in chaos, if it is left with other princes, it may not be a big deal, but Wei Changze has a special identity, and he was a popular candidate for succession before, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at him, staring at Changfu Palace.
Moreover, the fawning of the emperor on Chinese New Year's Eve is too obvious, and if the emperor forgives him very easily, a hat that pampers the harem and causes cronyism will probably be detained by future historians.
It's just a few words from Mu Hesheng, although she persuaded Wei Changze, but she couldn't deceive Concubine Ying, she returned to Changfu Palace with dignity, thought about it a little, and let people check it, and then understood what happened in the middle, so as soon as the grounding period was lifted, she asked Mu Hesheng to take Pei Miaoqing into the palace to ask for peace.
Mu Hesheng has been to Changfu Palace many times, but he can't get too much of Concubine Ying's good face, and this time it's even more so, Concubine Ying has a calm face from the beginning, looks at her curtsy and salutes, and said coldly: "You go out first, this palace has something to say to Concubine Pei." ”
Mu Hesheng was stunned, no matter how he was not treated in the past, he would not be so faceless when he came with the concubine, so he could only bow at the end, "Yes, the retainer will retire." ”
As soon as she walked out of the house, the door was closed by Qinghe, and the two people inside couldn't hear anything at all.
Concubine Ying glanced at Pei Miaoqing, these days, she has grown a lot more rounded, I think it was Changfu Palace that gave her some face, so the whole palace of Prince Gong did not dare to be disrespectful to her.
"Are you having a good time these days?" Ying Guifei picked up the hand stove next to her and dialed it.
Pei Miaoqing smiled with her, "It's all thanks to the concubine." ”
"Thanks to the blessing of the palace, but you didn't help the palace, you will take advantage of it."
The expression was faint, without a little anger, but Pei Miaoqing was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "The concubine doesn't dare, and the concubine can't find a chance to start, like an iron bucket in Prince Gong's Mansion, the little county lord and Princess Gong are always surrounded by many people, and the concubine body even chased Pei's mansion over, and she can only have a face-to-face with the lord of Chengning County...... There are so many people on the other side, but there is only one concubine, no matter how many ways I think of it, I can't do it! ”
Concubine Ying smiled coldly, "Even if it is an iron bucket, there is a day when it is rusty, no matter how meticulous the people of Prince Gong's Mansion are, they may not be negligent for a moment, this palace left you alone, just to tell you that there is an opportunity in front of you, it just depends on whether you are willing to do it ruthlessly." ”
