"That's possible." Chen Xi touched her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry. When the father was there, the Dingguo Mansion and the King of Yu must have been rich and safe. A hundred years after his father, the crown prince ascended the throne, he was determined to be a Ming monarch and holy lord, since the throne has been decided, what did he do to embarrass his own brother for no reason? Wouldn't it be more conducive to his reputation as a virtuous monarch to make him a rich and idle king? ”

"I hope it's as you say." Du Mingxin sighed.

In the end, this incident brought a little aftermath in the capital.

A few days after the party in the villa, Xu Yuan's third brother had dinner in Hongbin Building, and happened to meet Deng Hong, Shen Jiazheng and others who were also drinking here. Because both sides were a little drunk, somehow they didn't agree and got into a fight.

Deng Hong is not a person who practices martial arts, and secondly, because of the matter of the villa, he has some reasons for the Xu family, so he repeatedly retreats to Xu Laosan.

Xu Laosan was unusual, grabbing Deng Hong was a violent beating, although there was a group of small servants from the Anguo Mansion on the side, but he couldn't get close.

After the beating, Xu Laosan walked away. Although Deng Hong did not have the slightest trace of injury on his face, when he went home and called the doctor to take a look, he found that his body was covered with bruises and bruises.

Duchess An Guo was so angry that she immediately asked someone to prepare a car to enter the palace to sue the royal complaint, but was stopped by Deng Hong. He knew that what he was doing was not on the table, and if Chen Yuantai knew about it, he might even implicate the prince.

For the sake of the prince, the Xu family did not report the matter of the villa to Chen Yuantai, but Chen Yuantai still knew about it after all.

The reason is that he went to Kunning Palace to visit the four princes two days ago, and when he saw the queen sitting by the kang and weeping, he asked about it.

The queen didn't know what Deng Hong had done in the villa, but she just listened to her mother crying about her nephew's grievances of being beaten and humiliated and unwilling to make a noise, and listened to the advice of the doctor Gao who had recently diagnosed her pulse, so she was aggrieved and told Chen Yuantai that Deng Hong was beaten by Xu Laosan, and euphemistically expressed that although her family was wronged, she thought that the other party was the Dingguo Mansion, and for the sake of the overall situation of the court, she did not make a noise and endured humiliation.

If this matter is put in normal times, or if it is a change of family, the queen's strategy is no better. Chen Yuantai will not only feel that the Deng family knows how to restrain and avoid, but also feel that the queen has also learned what it means to take care of the overall situation.

However, the three brothers of the Xu family grew up under Chen Yuantai's watch, what kind of temperament they have, Chen Yuantai couldn't be clearer, he didn't have to think about it to know that there must be something strange inside.

The next day, Chen Yuantai summoned Chen Xi into the palace and asked about it in the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace.

Chen Xi didn't hide it, and told the matter one by one, even the fact that King Yu later apologized to Xu Yuan in the carriage.

Chen Yuantai frowned, and thought for a long time before asking: "Does the prince know about this matter?" ”

Chen Xi replied honestly: "Erchen doesn't know. ”

Chen Yuantai thought for a while, and then waved his hand to let Chen Xi retreat.

In the afternoon, the Qianqing Palace issued two holy decrees, the first is to canonize Xu Yuan as the lord of Pingyang County, the second is to marry the king of Yu and the lord of Pingyang County, and in the coming year, the lord of Pingyang County and the queen of Pingyang, choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage.

After Duke Dingguo took his wife into the palace to thank him, there was no big celebration in the mansion. Ten days later, news came out from the Dingguo Mansion, saying that April next year was the 10th anniversary of the death of Xu Xing's father.

After sending Xu Yuan off, Du Mingxin was a little depressed when he came back.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xi changed his clothes and came out, and when he saw that she looked listless, he hugged her and sat beside him.

"Dingguo Gong is so cautious...... The emperor's attitude was so obvious, he still sent Sister Xu and the third prince back to their hometown to think about it. Du Mingxin said in frustration.

"This is the cleverness of Dingguo Gong," Chen Xi hugged her and smiled, "Those who know know that his family is in charge, but those who don't know think that the emperor can reach out and slap the queen's family in the face for the sake of Dingguo Mansion." If he doesn't make some gestures, how can he speak in front of the prince? sent Mrs. Xu away, but also because she didn't want her to be idle by the queen and the Anguo Mansion. ”

"What about the prince?" Du Mingxin tilted his head and asked Chen Xi, "This matter has been making trouble for so many days, what does the prince have to say?" ”

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "No, he still reads and writes every day and practices riding and archery, but I can see that he is not in a good mood." ”

"So this thing...... Or has something to do with him. Du Mingxin's heart sank.

"It's informed, and then push the boat with the water." Chen Xi sighed, "In the end, let my father see that he is dissatisfied with King Yu and the Dingguo Mansion." ”

"Then the emperor ......" Du Mingxin frowned. If he doesn't punish him, he is afraid that he will enlarge the prince's mind and make him think that his father has decided something, and he can still mix it in. If it is a punishment, a careless mistake will make the two sides enmity......

"My father transferred Li Qian, the young Zhan of the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace, to the Internal Affairs Mansion and was responsible for the construction of the Yuwang Mansion."

cut off the auxiliary officials around the prince and went to repair the mansion for King Yu...... In order to avoid suspicion, the prince will also ask this Li Qian to repair the Yuwang Mansion beautifully.

"After that......" Du Ming was a little worried, Chen Xi's identity was too sensitive. He is only loyal to Chen Yuantai alone, but if there are too many such things, will he offend the prince? For example, in front of him, will the prince blame Chen Xi for not helping him hide a thing or two?

"Don't worry," Chen Xi comforted her, "I don't have anything to do with the storage position, how big of a deal can it be?" All of us are given by our father and God now, and it is really out of control, and I still have the ability to protect you and Brother Kun'er's safety. It's a big deal, let's not want this glory and wealth! Right? ”

Du Mingxin nodded vigorously and said, "I just want you and Brother Kun, and I don't want anything on the side." ”

After the Double Ninth Festival, Du Mingxin ran to the Xingguo Mansion frequently. Yuan Ying has been pregnant for more than eight months, and like Du Mingxin, she has no elders around to take care of her, and everything is handled by the husband and wife.

"You can rest assured!" Yuan Ying saw that Du Mingxin was here again today, so she smiled and said, "Mrs. Wen has delivered her sister-in-law before, and your uncle has also invited Imperial Doctor Wang to come to me from time to time, and the nurse has also been found." There are countless small clothes, quilts, and diapers, and I am worried about how I can use them up. ”

"If you can't use it up, give it to the second child!" Du Mingxin put Brother Kun on the kang and let him crawl back and forth to play. "Look at what my uncle means, I'm afraid I'm going to have a child with you for the rest of my life!"

"If he wants to have more children, I'll give him a few more concubines, why bother me!" Yuan Ying smiled sweetly.

Du Mingxin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Speaking of such a big thing at this time, who secretly told me last time, saying that the two girls who arranged for my uncle were sent out by my uncle?" Who wiped his tears and told me that he would be good to my uncle for the rest of his life? ”

Yuan Ying said embarrassedly: "Treat you as a caring person, you make fun of me!" ”
