Xu's illness was quickly cured.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the Xu family entered the palace to meet Empress Xie.

Fulin Palace is the sleeping palace where Emperor Jianwen lived when he was young, and this palace was carefully renovated before Sheng Hong lived in Fulin Palace. Now it has become the emperor's bedroom.

Empress Dowager Yu has been living in the Jiaofang Palace, which is also the largest dormitory in the harem. Fu Lin Gong is more than a step smaller. Because the emperor and queen all live here, they gradually have the momentum of surpassing the palace.

Empress Xie met the Xu family in the inner room.

The so-called closeness is not based on what is said in the mouth, but can be glimpsed in the details.

After Xu was led into the inner room, the heart that had been uneasy all the way quickly fell back into place. It seems that Xie Mingxi is still willing to carry his mother's family. Otherwise, how could she enter the queen's chamber today?

"My grandmother was sick a few days ago, and I was very worried." Xie Mingxi said with a smile: "Fortunately, my grandmother has recovered and can enter the palace today, which is quite comforting in my heart." ”

Xu's cheekiness is also spicy, and he laughed in a low voice: "There are no outsiders here, don't shame me." I was so scared that I didn't dare to enter the palace, for fear of causing trouble for my mother. Ah Jun also asked me to come here today. ”

"Ah Jun has been tossing and turning for the past few days, and he is anxious to get angry. Everyone has lost weight. He asked me to come into the palace and ask Niangniang, why did the emperor refuse to knight the Xie family? Is the emperor dissatisfied with the Xie family? ”

Xu spoke frankly and directly.

Xie Mingxi didn't go around the bend anymore, and said lightly: "The emperor is not dissatisfied with the Xie family. It's just that the emperor wants to ban the practice of knighthood. ”

Xu was taken aback and blurted out: "What Niangniang said is true? ”

"The title of the Yu family was awarded by the first emperor thirty years ago. As a son of man, the emperor was worried about his mother, so it was inconvenient to cut the title of the Yu family. ”

Xie Mingxi said unhurriedly: "However, the glory of the Yu family has also ended here. ”

"Lord Yu is over seventy years old and often complains of illness. When Lord Yu closes his eyes, the title of Duke Cheng'en will be withdrawn. The Yu family will become an ordinary eunuch home again. As for what happens in the future, as the emperor said, it depends on whether the descendants of the Yu family will succeed. ”

"The Mei family and the Xie family did not have much success in the Guo Dynasty. With only Concubine Mei and me, the queen, enjoying decades of glory and wealth, how unfair it is to the conscientious courtiers in the court. ”

"Grandmother is here today, and I will give her a word."

"You don't have to think about the knighthood anymore."

"The wealth of the Xie family can only come by the efforts of the Xie family."

This remark had a big impact on the Xu family. Xu Shi was dumbfounded, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, Xie Mingxi's familiar and friendly face suddenly became distant and unfamiliar.

Xie Mingxi's lips were still smiling: "Grandmother doesn't have to be frightened. The emperor appoints only talents, and he can only have the ability to work hard, and he will have a bright future. My father went from the Honglu Temple of the Four Grades to the current Ministry of Rites. Perhaps, there will be an opportunity to go further in the future. ”

"Yuanzhou's cousin is in Shudi, Yuan Wei is outstanding in his studies, and it will not be difficult to enter the examination in the future. The fifth brother is also quite intelligent, and it is not difficult to become a talent if he teaches carefully. ”

"Grandmother can sit and wait for her happiness, and she doesn't need to worry."

Xu finally reacted and squeezed out a smile: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

……

Xu stayed in the Fulin Palace for a long time, and was fortunate to have lunch with Queen Xie before returning home.

After Xu returned home, he told Xie Jun what Xie Mingxi said as it was.

Xie Jun was naturally extremely disappointed in his heart. No matter how disappointed I am, I can't help it. The Xie family is not a famous family, and there are no powerful clansmen. Xie Jun can make a book, most of which is the work of his son-in-law.

Sheng Hong refused to knight his wife, he could only be an empty prince.

Fortunately, Xie Mingxi hinted that "there will be opportunities to go further in the future". If you can enter the cabinet in the future, it will be great...... The huge carrot hung in front of his nose, and most of the resentment in Xie Jun's heart subsided.

As for the Mei family, they didn't even have the confidence to enter the palace to inquire.

Concubine Mei is just a concubine, the mother of the Son of Heaven is the Empress Dowager Yu, and the Yu family is the serious foreign family of the Son of Heaven!

Moreover, the Mei family is used to being cautious, and they are very fortunate to have been promoted to a higher official position. Knighthood or something, if you don't have it, you won't have it! The days are much better than they used to be.

Empress Dowager Yu sits in the Jiaofang Palace, and the news in the palace cannot be hidden from her ears and eyes.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Yu sneered.

In the eyes of Empress Dowager Yu, Sheng Hong's appearance was to deal with the Yu family.

What will never be knighted, it's all!

Who is not selfish? As the Son of Heaven, it is only natural to benefit the mother and wife! Sheng Hong put on the appearance of a righteous and awe-inspiring saint, just to take the opportunity to suppress the Yu family, and then suppress her, the queen mother!

"Queen Mother, what should I do about this?" Empress Dowager Yu's mother has long passed away, and the one who entered the palace today is Empress Dowager Yu's maiden brother-in-law Zhou.

Zhou is not young, he is in his forties this year, and no matter how well he takes care of it, he also has wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes.

At this time, the Zhou family was worried, and the wrinkles could almost catch the flies: "The emperor even refused to reward the Mei family and the Xie family, let alone put our Yu family in his eyes." ”

Mrs. Yu's face was gloomy.

Zhou sighed in a low voice: "My father-in-law has been sick on the couch since the New Year, and the Queen Mother rewarded the imperial doctor to the house. The imperial doctor is quite dedicated, but his father-in-law is getting old, and I'm afraid it's ......."

All the hidden worries are contained in the unfinished words.

Lord Yu lived to be 70 years old, which is a rare high life. Now that I can't afford to be sick, it's hard to say how long I can survive. Seeing the actions of the Son of Heaven, as soon as Lord Yu leaves, I am afraid that the title of Duke Chengen will be withdrawn.

Empress Dowager Yu frowned slightly, and then slowed down her voice: "Don't worry!" The mourners will not sit idly by. ”

Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a busy smile: "Yes, yes, with the Queen Mother here, how can the emperor treat the Yu family lightly." ”

Empress Dowager Yu snorted lightly in her heart, and then asked, "Fourth Uncle has been safe recently?" ”

The fourth uncle in the mouth of Empress Dowager Yu is called Yu Guangzheng, who is the cousin of Lord Yu and the father of the deceased Concubine Yu. The death of Concubine Yu also set off a storm in the Yu family. Fortunately, it was pressed down in time.

Yu Guangzheng also had a "serious illness" and rarely appeared in front of people.

Zhou responded euphemistically: "It's still the same." ”

Greed is human nature.

At that time, Empress Dowager Yu revealed that she wanted her cousin of the same clan to enter the palace, and Yu Guangzheng immediately moved her mind and took the initiative to send her daughter into the palace. When Concubine Yu Shu gave birth to the prince, Yu Guangzheng dreamed of his grandson being the emperor.

This dream has come true!

Unfortunately, the dream was too short-lived and too cruel. In less than three years, Emperor Jian'an was killed by his brothers, and the king of Shu, who was the weakest in the past, jumped onto the dragon chair.

Yu Guangzheng died of his daughter and grandson, and his dreams were shattered, so he could only continue to "recuperate".
