Chapter 175: Tone
After Emperor Chu and Xiao Yu talked for a while, Xiao Yu knew in his heart that it was better not to talk too much about some things from his standpoint, so he took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.
"Why don't you stay with me for lunch?" Emperor Chu asked.
"Erchen met his sister when he came to Lingyun Palace, and Erchen thought that he hadn't entered the palace for a while to say goodbye to his mother, and he just entered the palace today, and he would go to Yihua Palace to say goodbye to his mother after a while."
"Well, then there you go."
"The retainers retired."
Xiao Yu came to Yihua Palace, and Xiao Xuan, who got the news, immediately greeted him.
"I just told my mother that my brother will come over today, and my mother specially asked people to prepare a few dishes that my brother likes to eat." Xiao Xuan grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and pulled him to the hall. "My brother came earlier than I expected, what did my father mean when he summoned my brother into the palace?"
"You're a girl's family, don't ask so much." Xiao Yu said with a smile. "If you ask any more nonsense, I will go to your mother to sue you."
"Brother is so stingy." Xiao Xuan pouted, but didn't ask any more.
Seeing the eldest son coming, Concubine Liu was naturally happy.
"Xuan'er go down." Concubine Liu Huang had something to say to Xiao Yu, and after lunch, she wanted to break away from Xiao Xuan on the side.
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yu, and then at Emperor Liu's concubine, so she had to go down obediently.
After waiting for Xiao Xuan to leave, Emperor Liu's concubine glanced at Suihong, who immediately understood and sent all the people serving in the palace outside, leaving only Suihong and the other two henchmen to serve in the palace.
"It seems that the concubine already knows what happened in the court yesterday?" Sui Hong served tea to Emperor Liu's concubine and Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu said with a smile to Emperor Liu's concubine.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, I know what is so strange about this matter, and now that the imperial capital has discussed this matter, even if I don't know about it today, it will reach my ears in two days." Emperor Liu said. "Your father urgently summoned you to the palace today, what did you say?"
"The father knows it in his heart, and he probably already knows the role of the second brother in this case." Xiao Yu said bluntly. "Although it is not a pity that the Jiangnan prefect committed a major crime and died, but the mother concubine has been with her father for many years and knows that her father is a person. In addition, yesterday in the court, the father did not say anything to the second brother, and the father was hesitating about how to deal with the second brother. ”
"And how did you answer?"
"In the matter of the second brother, Erchen thinks it's better not to speak casually."
"You're right, Your Majesty summoned you to the palace to ask, and most of them have also tried to see your attitude towards your younger brothers and sisters." Emperor Liu said. "None of our mother and son can take care of this trouble, just take care of ourselves, and leave the rest to Your Majesty and the Queen to worry about."
Last night, she also learned that the second prince might be involved in the case of stealing official salt in Jiangnan, and she was uneasy, causing her heart disease to almost relapse at night.
Fortunately, Jinxiu found it in time, and the queen's window was also always stocked with life-saving medicine, and at the first time, she found that the queen was short of breath and her face was purple, so she immediately took out the pill, broke the queen's mouth and let her take the medicine, and brought a thin ginseng slice for the queen to hold under her tongue.
After a long time like this, waiting for the queen's breathing to gradually calm down, Jinxiu just wanted to get up and ask the palace maid who was keeping vigil outside to invite the imperial doctor to come over, but she hadn't fully stood up, and her sleeve was pulled by the queen who couldn't speak on the bed for the time being.
"Niangniang, you almost had a heart attack just now, and the slave maid took pictures for the health of Niangniang's phoenix body, at least you have to ask the imperial doctor to come and see Niangniang." Jinxiu turned back and persuaded the queen on the bed.
"No。。。。。 No way. "It took a long time for the queen to calm down before she was able to speak again." If you send someone to the Imperial Doctor late at night and ask the Imperial Doctor on duty to come and see me, the fact that I have a heart disease will be known to everyone. ”
"But can the mother's body still hold up?" Jinxiu looked worried. "It's safer to ask a doctor to come over."
"Isn't my body clear to me?" The queen stretched out her hand and motioned for Jinxiu to help her up.
Jinxiu immediately grabbed the queen's arm, helped her to get up, and then took a pillow to put behind her.
"Go down and let me be alone."
"Okay, the slave will go to the outside to guard, and the mother will summon the slave and maid if she has something."
On this day, the imperial capital was particularly lively, and most of the noble families who had stolen official salt in Jiangnan got the news.
Duan Shaolan returned to the Jinqiwei duty when he was in good health, and when he returned from duty, he saw a carriage parked outside the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion with the logo of the Qinghe Princess's Mansion.
Seeing that Duan Shaolan was sitting on a horse and did not get off the horse, the concierge stepped forward to ask. Duan Shaolan learned that this afternoon, the eldest princess of Qinghe personally came to the mansion to find the county lord of Duansu to speak.
The daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe is the current Countess of Yongchang, and she is the biological mother of the second prince's side concubine Liao.
At such a moment, the eldest princess of Qinghe visited the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, and on the surface, she came to visit the pregnant Duansu County Lord, but what she actually came for, Duan Shaolan knew it in his heart.
"You go to the second room to send a message to the county lord, saying that I have an appointment for a banquet today, and I won't go back to the house for dinner." With that, Duan Shaolan tightened the reins, turned around the dock and rode away from the Zhenguo Mansion.
After Duan Shaolan walked away, he stopped and thought about it before deciding to continue towards the Six Princes' Mansion.
Xiao Jun, who had already returned to his mansion, was now playing with the children in the courtyard, and when he heard the news that Duan Shaolan was coming, Xiao Jun summoned the nurses who were waiting on the side, and asked them to take the children back to the courtyard of the Sixth Imperial Concubine Zhao.
"Rare guest." Xiao Jun quickly stepped into the front hall of the hospitality and saw Duan Shaolan sitting in the hall. "Why did you get here today? I invited you to drink a few days ago, didn't you still say that you wanted to go back to the house to accompany the county lord of Duansu? ”
"Today, the eldest princess of Qinghe arrived at the house, I probably guessed her intention, so I had to avoid it."
"I see." After Xiao Jun sat down, someone came over to serve tea. "Waiting for the Jiangnan Prefect to be escorted back, everyone in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion is afraid that they will be even more impatient."
The eldest princess of Qinghe was entrusted by her daughter to come to the Zhenguo Mansion and directly asked to meet the lord of Duansu, who was of the same generation as her.
The eldest princess of Qinghe is respectful and much older than the main Duansu county, even if the two are not close, the original Duansu county lord who refused to see the guest on the grounds of being pregnant has no way, so he can only ask people to invite the eldest princess of Qinghe into the second room.
The eldest princess of Qinghe didn't come empty-handed, she brought a lot of things, and the county lord of Duansu couldn't shirk it again and again, so she could only accept them all.
The eldest princess of Qinghe can be regarded as the eldest sister of Emperor Chu, although her status among the royal family of the imperial capital cannot be compared with the eldest princess of Yongshou, the relationship between the eldest princess of Qinghe and the emperor of Chu is also average, but the daughters of the first emperor are also few, and they are much more famous, and now there is only one such eldest princess Qinghe who is still in the world, so Emperor Chu is still very kind to such an eldest sister on weekdays.
The lord of Duansu County is easy to get tired during pregnancy, and now the eldest princess of Qinghe is sitting in front of her and talking round after round, but she doesn't see her explain her intentions, and she is reluctant to leave.
The county lord of Duansu was so sleepy that his eyes were about to be unable to open.
The concierge's subordinates came over to spread the word, saying that Duan Shaolan couldn't come back to accompany the Duansu County Lord for dinner after going out for a banquet today, so the eldest princess of Qinghe got up and said goodbye.
Today's Yongchang Earl's Mansion is already a mess, Yongchangbo's eldest son Liao Yongheng let go of his foreign appointment and is not in the imperial capital, Yongchangbo and the only sister-in-law of the step-wife Liao Yongnian has been dead for many years, and there are still a bunch of concubines left in the mansion who have been raised by the step-wife, which is useless at the moment.
"How did you find out so well?" The daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe, now Mrs. Yongchangbo, pulled Yongchangbo's collar and asked. "Didn't you say at the time that this thing was foolproof?"
"Is there anything foolproof in this world?" Yongchangbo has always had no way to take Mrs. Yongchangbo. "It's not that the second brother and his subordinates made a mistake, it should have been that rainy night that solved all the problems, who would have expected that the county surnamed Qin would be so fateful, not only escaped, but also came to the imperial capital to complain!"
"Mother has already passed the word from the other side, and she hasn't seen any of the people in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion that she should have seen." The vain return of the eldest princess of Qinghe, Mrs. Yongchangbo has already received the news. "My sister-in-law took my mother's name card and went to many mansions today, but no one in charge of the family was willing to come out to meet."
"If you want me to say, it's better to call Brother Heng back." Yongchangbo is a person who has always had no ideas, and now in this situation, he thinks of his eldest son. "Brother Heng is better than those who don't know anything in the house, I don't know how much. Having him come back is also a help to the house. ”
"Let him come back and do what!" As soon as Mrs. Yongchangbo heard her husband's words, she was immediately so angry that her eyebrows stood upside down, and the tips of her sharp nails were eager to pinch into Yongchangbo's flesh. "He regards you and me as enemies, and I am afraid that I wish you and I would die sooner, so that he can come back and inherit the title of Earl Yongchang."
It's good that Yongchangbo didn't mention Liao Yongheng, but when he talked about it, Mrs. Yongchangbo couldn't help but think of her dead sister-in-law Liao Yongnian,
"Didn't he let it out? Do you no longer recognize you as your father? Mrs. Yongchangbo said. It's just right that he didn't come back, and it was even more convenient for him to die outside, and now my Nian brother is gone, but Nian Ge'er left Viagra before leaving, and I want to fight for my grandson to win this title! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about! Back then, His Majesty said that this title was reserved for Brother Heng, was it you a woman who said that it could be changed? Mrs. Yongchangbo changed the topic as she spoke, and Yongchangbo hurriedly covered his mouth. It's all this time, and I don't know if I can keep the title at the moment! ”
