This question was thought about for a while before he said vaguely: "It's just a child's fight, where is it worth remembering for so long?" What's more, when the King of Shu goes to the East Palace, he may not mention King Su. ”

Song Yixiao fell silent when he heard this.

When she remembered the smallpox incident last year, how obvious was Emperor Duanhua's intention to eradicate the two kings of Suxiang?

This time, whether the King of Shu mentioned King Su or not, since even the Xie family thought of the sex of the King of Shu. The son is used to being made by King Su, what will Emperor Duanhua think, do you still need to say it?

"The second aunt is most worried about the fifth sister." She knew that her husband was actually powerless in this matter, after all, this was not a personal grudge, this was a struggle for the throne - Emperor Duanhua, who came to power by relying on the bias of Xianjia Dila, would definitely not be relieved not to kill the two younger brothers who once forced him into an embarrassing situation.

But Song Yixiao couldn't help but say, "The second aunt is in a very bad situation now. ”

"Ming'er, I ask to see Your Majesty to see if there is a chance to mention this!" Jian Xubai drank tea for a while, and finally said this.

In fact, the couple with a heavy heart didn't know that the emperor and queen in the palace were also having a headache about this matter: "Have you been there for Concubine Xu?" What did she say? ”

"When I went, Concubine Xu was kind and pleasant, and said that this matter was wrong with the fifth brother, and she shouldn't use grasshoppers to mess with the prince's heart to concentrate on learning, and she shouldn't go to the East Palace to be rude to the prince, and it is natural to be beaten." Empress Wei rubbed her eyebrows and said tiredly, "But of course these are all scenes - listening to the news from the people below, Mother Xu has been distressed like something in the past two days, when the queen mother went to comfort her with Mother Jiang before, she once pulled Mother Jiang to cry to her father, and there were words of 'If the first emperor is still here, how can we hard-working people fall into such a situation'." ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Emperor Duanhua's face was ugly, Empress Wei sighed and comforted, "Your Majesty doesn't have to take this to heart!" It's just the words of Concubine Xu's distress for her son! Think about the earlier Concubine Mao, Concubine Xu, who is only the fifth brother and one child, because she never expects him to do anything in the future, and she is very pampered! Although the fifth brother took the initiative to go to the East Palace to trouble the prince this time, it was the fifth brother who was injured after all, and it was normal for Concubine Xu to have a grudge against us. ”

"If you feel sorry for the child, you feel sorry for the child, and we don't mean to favor the prince!" But Emperor Duanhua still felt very unhappy, "Your dignified queen, didn't you also go over to apologize to her, and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose the fifth brother's good life?" To put it mildly, although the fifth brother and the prince are the same age, but the fifth brother is the elder, he is also twelve years old, not very young, for a grasshopper to go to the East Palace to reason with the prince, like what words! The prince is impulsive, how can the fifth brother be at fault? Even if the father is still there, in this matter, it is impossible to blame the prince! What does it mean to say 'if the first emperor is still there'?! It's as if we're harsh on their mother and son! ”

If you want to put it aside, Emperor Duanhua will not care much about Concubine Xu's words, but during this time, he is frequently frustrated - every time he is in a hurry, he will think of Emperor Xianjia when he is there, no matter the previous dynasty or harem, he is easy to deal with things, in contrast, he, the successor who Emperor Xianjia has devoted his life to cultivating, is simply unwatchable!

How can you hear words like "if the first emperor is still there" now?

But the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, "At the beginning of the year, the fifth brother said that the jade pendant tied around my waist was good, and I took it off on the spot to reward him - that jade pendant you know, it was given by my father and the emperor during his lifetime, and I usually used it all the time, and it is also a beloved thing." The fifth brother casually boasted about it, and I gave it up! If I don't care about him, I will give him such a face?! At that time, what did Concubine Xu do not say, 'If the first emperor is still there'?! ”

"It's also that the prince is too impulsive, and he doesn't have the strength that a prince should have!" Empress Wei heard that he had the intention of pursuing it, and hurriedly said, "The people who served him were also brainless, and they actually asked him to smash the fifth brother with a paperweight in a fit of anger - the loss didn't hit the vital point, only some blood was shed!" If there really is three long and two short, not to mention how we want to explain to Concubine Xu, the reputation of the prince alone will be over! ”

"After all, the prince is young, not to mention that the fifth brother is in a hurry to embarrass him, he still can't bear to care, this is too untemperamental!" Emperor Duanhua doesn't think so, since Emperor Xianjia left, hasn't he endured enough in the past two years?

Why should his own son endure it?

"But if this matter is to be investigated, it will be difficult for Miss Xiao Xie of the Lai Guo Mansion not to be involved." Empress Wei muttered, "Lai Guogong is an old man who has followed His Majesty Emperor Taizu, and he has always been respectful, I don't think it's necessary to lose face to them for such a little thing!" Moreover, Miss Xiao Xie's own sister is Cousin Xu's wife, Cousin Xu, who has been with us for many years. ”

The most important thing is, "The imperial grandmother is doubting that we don't miss the love of flesh and blood these days, how can the imperial grandmother have a handle on this eyebone?" ”

When Emperor Duanhua heard this, his face was ugly for a long time before he said, "Then what do you say?" ”

"It's serious to perfunctory the imperial grandmother first." Empress Wei stretched out her hand to stroke his frowning brows, and said softly, "Grandmother Huang's life is not easy, ups and downs, let's be grandchildren, how can we not let her live a peaceful old age?" ”

- The great-grandson of the Empress Dowager is going to have children, how long can she live?

Why bother to fight with this old lady again, endure her to death, what is the princess of Shu, how can you clean it up?

"The ancients made words, which makes sense!" Emperor Duanhua was silent for a long time before he said lightly.

A knife on the head of the word ninja.

When will this knife no longer cut into his heart, but will be held up arbitrarily to those who make him unhappy?

Jian Xubai and his wife didn't know that the emperor had decided to settle the matter, and the next morning, Jian Xubai entered the palace as promised.

He did not go directly to Xuanming Palace to find Emperor Duanhua, but first went to the Qingxi Hall of Mingren Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager saw him, she smiled slightly: "Why did Ah Xu'er come to see the mourning family today?" Why didn't you bring Chaoping over? ”

"I was going to bring her here, but Shanyao recognized a righteous son in Liaozhou before, and he was one year older than Chaoping." Jian Xubai explained, "Their children hit it off at first sight, and they were willing to settle down until midnight yesterday, and they couldn't get up today." I was afraid that after forcing her to get up, it would be disgraceful to come to the emperor's grandmother, so I didn't take her. ”

"Don't!" The Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "At her age, when she is growing up, she will let her sleep if she is greedy - but she still has to take care of it, how can such a young child let them stay up late?" Hengzhu hasn't gone to school now, so how can I play during the day? ”

asked about Song Xuan's situation again, "Why did your daughter-in-law suddenly think of accepting a righteous son?" What kind of child is it? ”

"Xuan'er is a child of Shanyao's mother's family, it was his father who went to Liaozhou to deal with some industrial disputes, and when he learned that Shanyao was in the city, he brought him to visit." Jian Xubai said, "As a result, Shanyao felt that Xuan'er was very suitable for her eyes, and after telling her father to agree, she recognized him as her righteous son." The child's appearance is white and beautiful, and his temperament is also very gentle and sensible, but he is a painful person, and after I have seen it, I also think it is no wonder that Shanyao likes him. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she almost knew what to expect, but she didn't care much about this kind of thing, so she said to Yuguo: "When you want to give Chaoping something in the future, you remind the mourning family that the Yanguo Mansion is now not two children, but three children!" ”

"Thank you for your grandmother's grace!" Jian Xubai knew that the Empress Dowager had deliberately written down Song Xuan, which was nothing more than to save face, so she knelt down and thanked her.

"You were raised by a mourning family, who do you hurt if your mourning family doesn't hurt you?" The Empress Dowager patted her side kindly, "What are you kneeling on, come and talk!" ”

After Jian Xubai got up and sat down beside her, she deliberately looked at Jian Xubai's forehead - the scars from the kowtow when she came back to intercede last time were already very faint, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully, but the Queen Mother's eyes still showed a touch of distress.

Then he sighed: "You know the thoughts of the mourning family clearly, but why do you want to invite the mourning family?" ”

Jian Xubai was about to explain, but the Empress Dowager sighed again: "I can't blame you, the emperor sent a message, and you don't want to listen!" ”

"I'm also afraid that the emperor's grandmother will hurt your gods!" Jian Xubai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother actually don't force it. ”

"The mourning family has its own opinions on this matter, so don't worry about it anymore!" The Empress Dowager's face was slightly gloomy, she waved her hand, and said, "Although your daughter-in-law has recognized a righteous son, she is not your biological son in the end!" After the 100 days of the Daiguo couple are full next month, you must also be attentive! ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager cared about her heirs, Jian Xubai groaned, raised her head and said: "Speaking of which, Shanyao discussed something with me two days ago, and I was just about to ask the imperial grandmother to give me an idea?" ”

The Empress Dowager said with concern: "What is the matter?" ”

"Before Shanyao said that before returning to the imperial capital, there were only two places to see my father write letters: one was for me, and the other was for my aunt and grandmother." Jian Xubai observed the Empress Dowager's expression as she spoke, and said, "So I want to take my aunt and grandmother to the Yanguo Mansion to fulfill filial piety——"

At this point he paused.

The Empress Dowager listened quietly, her expression unchanged, but her eyes showed a complicated look.

After Jian Xubai succeeded to the third room, he took Jian Limiao and the county lord of Yishui as his parents, so his maternal grandmother also became the old lady of Duanmu.

The reason why she still shouts "aunt and grandmother" is nothing more than worrying about the mood of the queen mother.

After all, although the Empress Dowager has several grandchildren, there is no doubt that the one she loves and cares about the most is Jian Xubai.

Now Jian Xubai and his wife want to take the old lady Duanmu back to the house to fulfill their filial piety, if they don't say hello to the Queen Mother first, the Queen Mother will inevitably feel alienated - this Song Yixiao is negligent, after all, she doesn't get along much with the Queen Mother, but Jian Xubai is not, taking advantage of entering the palace today, she naturally wants to come over for a visit.

"That's as it should be!" The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, patted Jian Xubai's hand, and said gently, "You kid, why are you still calling 'aunt and grandmother' now?" They all called Jin Guo's 'second aunt', how could they still treat Mrs. Duanmu as an aunt and grandmother? That's your mother's mother-in-law a few days ago, before you all came back, the mourning family told the old lady Duanmu that after Jian Li Miao's filial piety, it was necessary to support her. And you can't leave their aunts and nephews alone? ”

After a pause, "It's hard for your daughter-in-law to have filial piety, Jian Limiao hasn't come back yet, she actually thought of this first!" According to the mourning family, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, after leaving the palace today, you will take the old lady Duanmu to the Yanguo Mansion, so that it is just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you can also have a small reunion! ”

Speaking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Good boy, you came here to mourn the family today, specifically to talk about this matter, right?" How? Afraid of jealousy? ”

Jian Xubai was indeed worried that the Empress Dowager would feel lost because of this—but of course he wouldn't admit it: "The Imperial Grandmother has wronged me!" Obviously, I haven't seen you for two days, and I'm worried about this! ”

"Your daughter-in-law didn't have two grandmothers earlier." The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, and did not continue to poke him, only patted the back of his hand and said gently, "So you don't have to worry that the mourning family will not be able to see you filial piety to the old lady Duanmu, speaking of which, Duanmu is also a hard life - however, if you care about the thoughts of the mourning family like this, the mourning family is also very happy!" ”

After this matter was settled, Jian Xubai talked to the Empress Dowager again, and then retired.
