Xiao Biesheng is newly married, tender and sweet, and tired of carriage and horses, Fuyi slept soundly this night, and woke up at dawn the next day, so he hurried to dress up, and before he could go to his grandmother to say goodbye, he was going to enter the palace to see the queen to tell the Empress Dowager Yang and the eldest lady.

When she went out, Chu Xue sent someone to say that she would go to the palace gate to pick up help, and then the two of them went to Nanping Hou's Mansion to congratulate her.

Fu Yi responded, but she went out late, and left the palace late, and the two of them met again, it was past noon.

"Let my sister-in-law wait for a long time." Fuyi got into the carriage, sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Xue handed her tea, and asked with a smile, "Look at you tired, can you have lunch?" ”

Fu Yi said: "It was the lunch that was delayed, the emperor and concubine gave the meal, I only cared about the rules, I didn't know what to stuff into my mouth, and my stomach was panicking." ”

The warm tea was under the stomach, and Fu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, took the gift list handed by his sister-in-law, and said while looking at it: "It turns out that the Marquis of Nanping also begged the emperor to send them the matter of harmony. ”

Chu Xue said: "No, the whole capital thinks that the Qin Mansion has been chosen." However, no matter who it is, it is pitiful, and this is goodbye. ”

Fu Yi sighed: "We can't take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion." ”

After that, Chu Xue said some housework, and Fu Yi mentioned that Xinghua Hall had been vacated, and asked his brother and sister-in-law to move over.

There are countless families who come to congratulate them, and the carriages and sedan chairs outside the palace can't be seen along the street, and the carriage of the Duke's Palace can't pass for a while.

"Young lady, I'm afraid we'll have to wait." The next person came to say, "There are people waiting in front of you, and the Hou Mansion can't cope anymore." ”

"It's okay." Chu Xue responded, "There is always a first come, first come, let's wait." ”

However, it didn't take long to learn that the Duchess was coming, and the steward of the Marquis of Nanping trotted out all the way out, and personally sent the carriage and horses of the Zhu family straight to the door of the house.

"What's going on, I've never seen such hospitality, even if it's a royal banquet, I haven't heard of people waiting in the sedan chair, the Nanping Marquis Mansion is really eye-opening." I saw a young woman in bright clothes and full of jewels get out of the carriage and reprimand loudly, "This person from the Zhu family has horns on his head, and he is not an ordinary person, you are extraordinary, you are extraordinarily courteous?" ”

The steward of the Marquis of Nanping Mansion was already busy, his eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't recognize the person in front of him, so he had to tell him the little guy on the side: "This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongqing." ”

The steward hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, but the young woman took a bite and ordered his subordinates to throw the congratulatory gifts on the side of the road and take them away.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion watched silently, and Chu Xue and Fuyi didn't hear about it until they were on the way home.

Chu Xue was embarrassed and said, "Is this our offense to the eldest princess's mansion, or is the Hou mansion offended them?" ”

Fu Yi also felt that things were not easy to do, remembering that when she left the palace before, she ignored the eldest princess who walked by because she was thinking about her heart, and she was sarcastic and sarcastic to her face, and that one was very unfriendly to the Duke's Palace.

But thinking about it, what really makes the eldest princess of Yongqing unpleasant should be the queen and even the new monarch.

"Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart, the Marquis of Nanping has been lonely for many years, and today I heard a few young ladies say that the family has not had such a big battle for many years, and they are all messed up." Fuyi comforted, "We are just guests, guests are as they please, and it's not that we have to encroach on the eldest princess's mansion, not to mention that it's only her daughter-in-law who comes, and there is no seal, you are far above her." ”

Chu Xue sighed: "This eldest princess is used to being domineering, as was the case during the reign of the first emperor. Now that her biological mother has been crowned the crown princess again, she has not changed her domineering temper and brought her daughter-in-law like this. How to throw the congratulatory gift on the side of the road, this is not a slap on the face of the Hou Mansion, it is trampling on the dignity of the emperor and queen. ”

This matter will definitely not end here, Fu Yi is a little more vigilant in his heart, and the restless people are by no means the only one who is restless.

Emperor Xian and Prince Sheng have sibling brothers, they are royal blood, and they have also had the opportunity to touch the dragon chair, since Prince Sheng can rebel, why can't they rebel?

Fu Yi couldn't help but feel the emperor's difficulty in his heart, as if even the first emperor killed Prince Sheng, it became reasonable.

When the two of them returned home, it was almost evening, and when they entered the door, they met the third lady and walked to the inner courtyard, and took the initiative to hug Xiao Zhen'er, and the mother went to see her grandmother with a smile.

The third lady sent another person to spread a message outside the door: "After Pingli comes back, let him go to the old lady's house to eat, we are all there." ”

But Pingli didn't think about going home today, he thought that he could see Qin Hao in the school, but who knew that Qin Hao was punished for making trouble on the street that day, and he could only return after five days.

Pingli stayed up in the school all day in a groggy manner, and after leaving school, he and his brothers went to the Taiwei Mansion to find someone.

Walking out of the country, the carriages and horses from various houses outside the door came to welcome their sons-in-law, and they walked out with a big grin, and the brothers around them suddenly said: "Why are they all looking at us, what's the matter?" ”

Pingli raised his head, and sure enough, whether it was those domestic servants or his classmates who were about to go back, they all looked at him in unison, and even the brothers around him confirmed: "Are they looking at Pingli?" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Pingli looked dazed, "I just returned to Beijing last night. ”

The brothers went to inquire, and even took their respective servants to take the initiative to come forward to pray, but after learning the reason, they didn't dare to say it to Pingli, and their embarrassed faces were perfunctory: "Let's go, go to the Taiwei Mansion to fish for people." ”

"What's going on, why are they looking at me?" Pingli is not confused, "Something happened to our family?" ”

"No, what ...... then" The brothers were hesitant, and finally couldn't resist the insistence of Pingli, and said, "Say that you and the third young lady of your family are ambiguous, and your uncle and sister-in-law are in the same room, meet late at night, and do unethical things." ”

Pingli exploded instantly, rushed to the front of the person and scolded: "Who is spreading rumors, there is a kind of stand up for the master, I am going to dig out your eyeballs and fall on the ground and trample on them, which bastard is spreading rumors, stand up for me!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to offend the Duke's Mansion easily, and they all pulled the carriage and horses away, but no matter how angry they were, this rumor still spread.

In the past three hundred years, the Zhongguo Mansion has always been upright and upright with its family style, and it is the first time it has encountered such a bad thing.

What is convincing is that many people know that this time it was Pingli who escorted Fuyi to visit the eldest lady Yang, the young uncle and sister-in-law, and went back and forth for seven or eight days, and who knows what happened on the way.

The unbearable words still entered the Duke's Palace, but what made Fuyi suspicious was that this rumor was not made up casually, and he actually knew that in the post house late at night, his uncle and sister-in-law talked and laughed, knew that Pingli practiced martial arts in the middle of the night, and made his sister-in-law serve tea and send water to ask for warmth, and then there was nothing along the way to enjoy the sunset by the river, what intimacy, it turned out that seventy or eighty percent of it was something that actually happened between Fuyi and Pingli.

Obviously, among the servants who went to the fiefdom with him, there was a mole.

At night, when Zhu Rong returned home with anger, Zhengming told him that the young lady had tied up all the people who accompanied him this time, but there was one missing, and the whole family was searched, and there was no trace.

"That's the one missing, and it's been bought." Zhu Rong said, "Among the people who were kidnapped, are there any suspicious ones?" ”

"I'll wait until you come back and interrogate me." Zhengming said, "You said that this matter is making trouble, who is this aimed at, is it possible that our fourth brother has offended people outside?" ”

"Where's Pingli?"

"In Xiyuan, the third master and the third lady looked at it, but the fourth brother was angry."

Zhu Rong strode back to Qingqiu Pavilion, full of anxiety and anger, worried about helping her to be embarrassed and sad, who knew that the person in question was holding Huizhi's hand quietly and correcting her handwriting.

"Third brother." When Huizhi saw his brother, he was happy, "You can come back." ”

Fu Yi let go of his hand, and smiled gently: "Hui'er has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Zhu Rong calmed down and asked his sister, "What's the matter?" ”

Huizhi put away the pen and ink, walked over to salute his brother, and then said: "Father and mother want me to convey, please ask the third brother to calm down, this matter is not urgent, they will take good care of my brother and not let him go outside to cause trouble." My father said that it is a matter of the reputation of the third sister-in-law, and it can't be left at that, so please ask the third brother to find out and see who is spreading rumors behind it. Since there is a spy in our family, we must be more careful in the future, and leave the matter of cleaning the door at home to them, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhu Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Greet the third uncle and aunt for me, I will see them again tomorrow, and there is peace, tell him not to be angry, I will definitely give him justice." ”

Fuyi called the citron and Cuizhu: "Good life to send the girl back to Xiyuan, be careful not to stumble on the road." ”

The couple watched Huizhi leave, Zhu Rong heard Fuyi's sigh, he was very distressed, and hugged his wife: "I must find out the truth." ”

Fu Yi was calm: "If you want to say that I have offended people recently, it is the eldest princess of Yongqing." ”

Zhu Rong didn't understand: "What kind of relationship do you have with her, how do you offend her?" ”
