Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
During the autumn harvest, the fields are full of gold, which is very gratifying.
In the past two years, the weather has been beautiful, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the harvest has been good.
It's a pity that in a bumper harvest year, the price of grain is cheap.
Yan Yunqi and Zhong Shuyun have successively reported the news of pregnancy.
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.
Emperor Yongtai even gave the second prince's mansion and the third prince's mansion rich rewards.
In addition to being happy, he also asked the second prince Xiao Chengwen if he wanted to enter the court as an official?
Xiao Chengwen bowed, "The son-in-law is in poor health, and he can't share his father's worries, and the son-in-law is guilty!" ”
"What a sin!"
Because of Xiao Chengwen's plea, Emperor Yongtai was rare and generous, and rewarded him with two granges, a number of gold, silver and jade.
When the other princes saw it, they muttered sourly in private.
"The reward of my father is too easy to take. Gai Ming'er, if His Royal Highness is sick, I don't know if my father will give him a rich reward. ”
Dream on!
Emperor Yongtai is stingy by nature.
This time, Xiao Chengwen caught up with the good time to get a rich reward.
If you change another time and don't get scolded, you can be lucky.
……
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, ended his training in the Northern Army and returned to the dynasty as an official.
Unexpectedly, the news of Zhong Shuyun's pregnancy came out on the front foot, and Queen Tao gave a number of beauties on the back foot, and all of them were outstanding.
was so angry that Zhong Shuyun gritted his teeth.
When the third prince Xiao Chengyi returned home, she began to complain of stomach pain.
The elders did not dare to resign, but they also had to take into account the feelings of their wives.
So, Xiao Chengyi left the beauties rewarded by the palace on the one hand, and refused to let the beauties be a hundred steps away.
Zhong Shuyun is finally comfortable.
But she forgot that there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
The beauties rewarded by Queen Tao are not stupid.
The mountain is not me, I will go to the mountain.
The three princes didn't get close to them, so they tried every means to take advantage of all kinds of loopholes and take the initiative to get close to the three princes.
came and went, with persistence, beauty, talent, and a pitiful expression, a beauty finally won the third prince Xiao Chengyi.
If there is one, there are two......
When Zhong Shuyun learned the truth, Xiao Chengyi was fortunate to have all the beauties rewarded by Queen Tao.
Zhong Shuyun cried very badly.
Fortunately, she is young, in good health, the fetus is stable, and after a while, the child has not moved at all, and is still healthy.
Zhong Shuyun is not convinced!
She didn't want to believe that her good married life was less than a year.
How could Xiao Chengyi let her down?
She treats him wholeheartedly, overcomes obstacles for him, and seeks perfection, but he is so ruthless.
She was wronged, she cried, only in exchange for Xiao Chengyi's comfort, but not in exchange for the promise of not returning to the fortunate beauty.
Eating the marrow and knowing the taste, Xiao Chengyi naturally refused to give up the beauties in the backyard.
Zhong Shuyun made a lot of trouble, and he was a little impatient, complaining in private that she was not sensible.
He is a dignified son, and he raises a few concubines and beauties in the backyard, which is justified.
Father and mother, so loving. But the harem is not a concubine like a cloud, but a prince and a princess, born one after another.
Did the Queen Mother say anything?
As long as the father does not favor a concubine, the queen mother has always turned a blind eye.
Why can't Zhong Shuyun learn from his mother, learn to open one eye and close one eye.
He promises not to favor one person alone, but only to rain and dew.
But he didn't want to think that Queen Tao had such determination, she was born smart, and she had the ability to practice for many years.
Zhong Shuyun is a young man, he has never experienced it, and he has not even encountered any decent setbacks, how can he compare with Queen Tao.
In this world, there are very few women who can compare to Queen Tao.
Obviously, Xiao Chengyi's requirements for Zhong Shuyun are a bit harsh.
……
Zhong Shuyun had no choice but to go back to her parents' house for help.
For Xiao Chengyi's love of the new and dislike of the old, Princess Chengyang is also very angry.
But this time, she didn't plan to stand up for Zhong Shuyun.
"Men, it's all a virtue. As for you, don't take him too seriously, the most important thing now is the child in the belly. As long as you get a man in one fell swoop and give birth to the eldest son, even if there are a thousand fox spirits, they will not be able to shake your status. Of course, I will ask your brother to talk to the third prince, no matter what, he shouldn't be angry with you. If you have something to say, it's all for the sake of the children. ”
Zhong Shuyun was disappointed.
Princess Chengyang comforted her again, "There will be more similar things in the future, you have to learn to explain yourself." Like your father, don't you also raise a few foxes to roam in the backyard. ”
Zhong Shuyun bit her lip and couldn't accept it.
She is single-minded to Xiao Chengyi and is 100% emotional.
Naturally, I hope that Xiao Chengyi can also repay her 100% affection.
However, Xiao Chengyi went to pamper other women, and gave care and tenderness to other women, she couldn't stand it.
The thought of him hugging other women made her heart throb.
Princess Chengyang sighed, "You, I have already reminded you that you can't be too affectionate." There is no man in the world who can be trusted. ”
Zhong Shuyun cried hard and stayed at her mother's house for three days.
It wasn't until Xiao Chengyi personally went to the princess's mansion to pick her up and promised to care more about her in the future that she followed back to the prince's mansion.
……
Recently, Queen Tao has been in a good mood.
She just saw that her daughter-in-law Zhong Shuyun was not pleasing to the eye, and specially rewarded beauties for favor.
It doesn't matter if the trick is old, just use it.
Sure enough, this move was very smooth against Zhong Shuyun.
They all went back to their parents' house to cry, and they stayed at their parents' house for three days, obviously angry.
Will it hurt the baby in the belly?
Empress Tao had already consulted the imperial doctor and confirmed that the child in Zhong Shuyun's belly was healthy and could withstand the toss before she could do it.
She wants to teach Zhong Shuyun a lesson, and she is even warning Princess Chengyang.
She will not interfere in her son's affairs in the future. Otherwise, clean up your daughter.
Princess Chengyang received this warning.
The anger in my heart can't be suppressed.
In private, Princess Chengyang complained to her son, "If it weren't for your sister's brainlessness and her insistence on marrying the third prince, why should this palace be afraid of Queen Tao, why should she be threatened by her." It's so deceitful. I knew that Queen Tao was not a good thing, so the palace should not follow the meaning of the book rhyme and marry the queen. Where is this marriage, it is clearly a feud. ”
"Mother's anger!"
"The anger in Bengong's heart can't be suppressed, so I have to find a way to vent my anger."
Princess Chengyang thought about it, and after being reminded by Qingke, she finally made a plan.
Queen Tao grinds her daughter, and she grinds the Tao family.
……
The Tao family suffered a lawsuit, or the official sued the official, reported and exposed each other, and alarmed Emperor Yongtai.
Emperor Yongtai was furious and ordered Jin Wuwei to cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case.
Boss Tao entered the palace to meet Queen Tao and asked for help.
The lawsuit involved a tax and silver case a few years ago.
It was already pressed down, but I don't know which way of the gods I provoked, but it was turned out again, and it came to the emperor.
"Queen, you have to find a way to put this matter to rest. Otherwise, the consequences of this time will be unimaginable! ”
Empress Tao frowned, "You and Bengong are honest, who did you offend?" Why would someone turn over a case from a few years ago? ”
"I didn't offend anyone!" Boss Tao looked wronged, "Since my father passed away, I have been a man with my tail between my legs according to your instructions, and I am polite to everyone." Even the little clerk who guards the door at the yamen, I can't offend. ”
Queen Tao frowned, "Have you found out, who is behind it?" ”
"I only found out the head of an official surnamed Sun, who pleaded guilty to the law and was executed in the tax and silver case that year. The person who made trouble this time was the son of an official surnamed Sun on the surface, saying that he wanted to avenge his unjust death. ”
Empress Tao was annoyed, "You let people apologize for their crimes, didn't you do a good job in the aftermath of the Sun family?" ”
"Wronged! I personally checked it, and the aftermath was handled properly, all the money that should have been given was given, and the mouth that should have been sealed was sealed. How did I know that the Sun family was a bastard, and a few years later, he suddenly repented and bit our Tao family. ”
"It seems that someone behind it was instructed to deliberately target the Tao family. Check, be sure to find out who is behind the mastermind. ”
Boss Tao looked powerless, "I can't find out." At least my people didn't find out. ”
Empress Tao scolded, "Incompetent! Father-in-law Mei, you personally investigate this matter, and you must find out the truth. ”
"No!" Young Eunuch Mei bowed down to receive the order.
Boss Tao's heart was still hanging in the air, "Your Majesty, what should I do?" Queen, you have to help, our Tao family can't withstand the turmoil anymore. ”
Empress Tao took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, this palace will find a way." You hurry back and clean up what should be handled, and seal all the mouths that should be sealed. Hongu didn't want to hear anyone bite the Tao family again. ”
"The queen can rest assured that it will be done properly."
……
Young Eunuch Mei mobilized his subordinates to personally preside over the investigation, and his efficiency and depth were by no means comparable to those of the Tao family.
A few days later, he finally found the clues.
He hurried to Weiyang Palace, "Empress Qiqi, there is news about that matter." ”
Empress Tao instantly cheered up, "Who is it?" ”
According to the old slave's understanding, before the case was turned over, the Sun family had seen a middle-aged man. According to the description, the old slave found out about this person's whereabouts, and it seems that he had met a distant relative of the Zhong family. ”
"The Zhong family? Are you sure it's the Zhong family? Empress Tao was surprised.
Young Eunuch Mei nodded heavily, "The old slave has confirmed again and again, it should be right." ”
Empress Tao gritted her teeth, "So, the person who instructed the Sun family to turn over this case is Princess Chengyang?" She took revenge on Hongu because of what happened before? ”
Young Eunuch Mei didn't dare to say anything.
Anyone with eyes could see Queen Tao's anger burning all over her body.
Syllable!
Queen Tao shook her sleeves and swept all the objects on the table to the ground, making a loud noise.
"It's too much of a deception! This palace is just a small lesson to Zhong Shuyun, and she is going to put the Tao family to death. is so vicious, how can this palace tolerate her. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Queen Tao's face was hideous and distorted, "First suppress this matter and take the Tao family out." Princess Chengyang, you check it for the palace, no matter how big or small, check it all. If you don't believe it, this palace can't catch her handle. ”
"The old slave obeys! It's just that Niangniang really wants to go to war with Princess Chengyang? After all, it's a ...... in-laws."
"When she instructed someone to murder the Tao family, did she ever think that the palace was her in-laws? She is unkind, and Hugh blames the palace for its injustice. ”
