Pick up
Mrs. Su frowned slightly: "Which Mrs. Ye?" β
Ye Tingling said with a smile: "It's the Yunluo girl next to the Queen Mother in the past, the lady and the nobles are forgetful, probably forget, this girl is personally given by His Majesty to marry Lord Ye of Danqing Pavilion as his wife, and on the day she got married, it was still the Queen Mother who put a hijab on her hands." What a blessing it is. β
Mrs. Su nodded, and then wondered: "Then how can she be in the palace today?" β
Ye Ting ordered: "Today, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth came back from Zishan Hall, saying that he must see Mrs. Ye, no, the slaves and maids went to Lord Ye's house overnight yesterday to make an order. He smiled and complimented: "Who in the palace is not envious of such good luck as Mrs. Ye?" Only when he was born in Su Xiang's family and had the honor to serve his wife and the queen mother can he have such a blessing. β
Mrs. Su smiled and talked to the court order for a while, and after the person left, she hesitated for a moment, but still retreated, bypassed the garden in the house, and walked outside Su Shi's study, seeing that there was no maid guarding the door, she knew that Su Shi was probably discussing important matters with her sons inside, so she gently buckled the door: "Master, it's me." β
The second son, Su Xuan, personally opened the door for her, helped her to the chair and sat down, and asked, "What's the matter with my mother?" β
Mrs. Su saw that this study was still the same as usual, with blue bricks and white walls, and the display was exquisite, and there was an ebony table in the middle, except for the carved chair in the first seat, five rosewood chairs were neatly placed on both sides...... Thinking of this, Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel sad, she barely calmed down, and said with a smile: "You go out first, I have something to say to your father." β
After the three sons went out in turn, Mrs. Su looked sad and looked at Su Shi with a very sad gaze: "Master, you clearly said that you didn't involve Wei'er, he is only two or three years older than Ah Jin, and he hasn't married yet, how can you ......?"
"It was precisely because I was too soft-hearted and thought too much about Huo'er and Wei'er that Huo'er didn't know the severity and made such a big mistake!" Su Shi said hatefully: "Now I am willing to even give up Ah Jin, Wei'er is the son of the Su family, how can she be alone?" β
Mrs. Su snorted: "Master, when you wanted to make a job, it was because Your Majesty was very mean to our Su family, and you wanted to teach us to live a better life...... But in such a day now, where can it be compared to the beginning? β
"Madame doesn't understand, now that Huo'er is in prison, although there is no worry about his life, but after all, he has been in the office for many years, and there are a lot of involvement. This matter has already made His Royal Highness very dissatisfied, and now if I don't use the last two chess pieces in front of His Highness, how can he trust me? How do we get there? β
"That's our kid, not a pawn!" Mrs. Su burst into tears: "Master, someone from the palace came to teach me to make snacks and send them in, you can't be so ruthless...... Master, the concubine has been married to the master for decades, and she has never obeyed the master's words, only this one thing, begging the master not to force the concubine to do such a thing again! β
As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Su Shi and said with tears in her eyes: "Have you forgotten how happy your master was when Ah Ying was born?" Our five sons, none of them are as much as Ah Yu's favorite little daughter, is your favorite little daughter, can the master really bear it?! β
Su Shi looked at her with a calm face for a long time, and finally sighed and helped her up with his own hands: "Madame is right, why don't I feel sorry for our children?" He wiped his tears for Mrs. Su and said softly: "Well, since that's the case, then I'll listen to Mrs. β
Mrs. Su burst into tears and laughed, and said in surprise: "Is what the master said true?" β
"My wife and I have been husband and wife for so long, doesn't my wife still understand my temperament? However, since the palace has issued an order, and Ah Ying likes it, Mrs. still sends this snack as usual. Seeing that Mrs. Su's face changed, she hurriedly said: "Madame, don't worry, you just have to do it, and your husband will never interfere for half a point." β
Mrs. Su relieved her heart and made a big gift with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, master!" Su Shi smiled slightly, and said: "I see that the food box that Mrs. often uses is also old, and I am afraid that the hot pastries used to hold will damage the flavor. β
Mrs. Su smiled: "I know that the master feels sorry for his daughter, and even such a trivial matter as eating snacks has to worry about her." Because he saw a few plates of fresh fruits on the side of the case, he picked a water chestnut casually:
Yi'er saw that she was about to give birth, although Wen Po had been guarding the courtyard for a long time, and the imperial doctor in the palace had already said it. But I still can't let go of it in my heart after all, Chen'er is far away in Youzhou, and she has no one to talk to, so she is probably depressed in her heart, but she is thinner than before. I remember that Yi'er loves to eat water chestnuts the most, and the master has a protΓ©gΓ© who is not in Zhenze as a prefect, and the water chestnuts there are very good, can you please send him some fresh ones? β
Su Shi nodded slightly: "It's not difficult to do, I'll just fix a book." β
Mrs. Su sighed and said: "Yi'er and Qi'er are the best, I don't dare to teach her and Hui'er until now that Qi'er actually committed suicide when she left Su's mansion." Her eyes turned red again: "Qi'er's child can be regarded as something I grew up watching, and he is very filial when he marries, and I am really sad in my heart." β
Su Shi said: "She is Mo Yingqin's daughter, rather than going to the detention center to suffer all the humiliation, it is better to clean up by herself." He sat in the study all morning, and at this time he felt a sore back, so he got up and said, "Madame will accompany me to the garden for a walk, my neck hurts tightly." β
Mrs. Su was about to speak, but there was a sudden uproar outside, and the little maid in An Xunyi's room rushed straight in, sweating profusely, and couldn't even speak: "Old lady...... The third lady she ...... The third lady is red! β
An Junyi is the first time to give birth, naturally it is very difficult, fortunately, Mrs. Su and the two daughters-in-law of the Su family have always been very good at running the house, and the Su Mansion is busy but not chaotic.
was so busy until the evening, An Junyi finally gave birth to a fat baby boy smoothly, Mrs. Su was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to the court to report the news, and the court order did not dare to slack off after learning the news, and hurried to Changle Palace, and smiled from afar: "The slave maid said hello to the Queen Mother, An Shuren just added a white and cute little boy to the Su Mansion, and the Queen Mother is an aunt again!" β
When she came to report the news, Su Ying and Pei Ming were staring at the chessboard intently, thinking about which step to take to catch Pei Zhao all, and they were naturally overjoyed when they heard the news: "Yes, what happened to my sister-in-law?" β
Ye Tingling said with a smile: "An Shuren is all right, just wait for the little boy to pass the full moon, and then bring it to the Queen Mother to say goodbye!" β
Su Ying was surprised and delighted, so excited that she couldn't even speak. This little nephew is not like the old-fashioned dolls of the eldest brother and second brother's family, not much younger than her, and this is the first time she has found the feeling of being an aunt. She rubbed her hair excitedly, ran into the dormitory in a few steps, held a sandalwood box and handed it to the court order: "If you send this home, you will say that this is my congratulatory gift to my little nephew!" β
Pei Ming listened to it for a long time, and he was also happy, he didn't learn in vain in the two months he came to Zishantang, at least now, he can sort out the seniority very clearly, isn't the nephew of the queen mother his younger brother! He thought about it and clumsily, clumsily untied a piece of jade pendant on his waist and handed it over: "And this, this is a gift from the prince to his younger brother, this piece of jade is very expensive, don't bump into it!" β
Hearing this, Ye Tingling trembled, carefully tucked the jade pendant into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The little prince is really a blessing, to be so favored by the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness." β
Pei Zhao sat quietly on the side, and saw that Su Ming and Pei Ming, one big and one young, were all looking happy, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and ordered the court order: "Go and prepare a reward quickly, double the amount according to the usual example, and since the An family has given birth to an heir, the rank of the foreign wife will be promoted by one more." β
The court order said respectfully: "The treatment of the queen mother's family has always been very different, Your Majesty does not have to worry, the slave and maid must order the palace people to prepare carefully." β
Pei Ming always felt that he was too stingy to give a piece of jade pendant, he listened to the court order while thinking hard, and just heard the sentence "The treatment of the Su family should be very different", and he couldn't help but light up.
If you want something different from that, wouldn't the ink treasure drawn by His Thirteenth Highness himself be precious?! Pei Ming said impromptuly: "Tell this prince, what does my brother look like?" I'm going to paint a portrait of him and give it to him myself when he's full moon. β
Ye Tingling said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, the slave maid just received the report and immediately rushed to Changle Palace, besides, the slave maid has a low status, so there is really no blessing to take a look at the appearance of the little boy." β
"Huh?" Pei Ming couldn't figure it out: "Didn't you just tell my mother that the Su family added a white and cute little boy?" β
Ye Tingling's expression was very embarrassed, and Su Ying coughed lightly twice: "You go down first." She hurriedly thanked her and walked out of the hall quickly, thinking of Pei Zhao's instructions, she was very amazed in her heart.
Although she is a woman in the deep palace, she can hear some outside events, like everyone else, she thinks that the Su family has not fallen for a hundred years, and it is already a thorn in the side of His Majesty, and only today do she realize that the Su family is still the Su family.
is like this An Shuren, she is not the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is not the eldest son, and even her husband was demoted to Youzhou by His Majesty more than half a year ago, but she has the same treatment as the eldest wife and second lady of the Su family, which shows the weight of the Su family in His Majesty's heart. Ye Tingling suddenly remembered the cousin of the second lady of the Su family, the high-ranking Shen Shanggong, who had been sneered at by several female officials because of the Su family's affairs in recent days, and now since this is the case, she can no longer pretend not to see it, she must reprimand them well, don't offend Shen Shanggong again. After the people left, he pinched Pei Ming's bun face with hatred: "You little fool, people just say a few flattering words to compliment, why are you still serious?" β
Pei Ming still looked dumbfounded: "Why does she want to say flattering words?" β
"Well, in order to make us happy, it's like saying that you are very smart and heroic, and that you are an outstanding man like your imperial brother, aren't you happy?"
Pei Ming finally nodded clearly: "It turns out that words that sound comfortable are flattery, and the words of the queen mother are also flattering words to the imperial brother, right?" He looked at Pei Zhao with a smile: "Brother Huang, are you happy to hear it?" β
Pei Zhao pinched his chubby face like Su Ying, and said with a smile: "I'm happy, I'm happy about whatever your queen mother says." β
