Xie Ning put his arm around the emperor, and was a little sleepy, when he heard the emperor cough lightly twice. Her consciousness suddenly withdrew from the half-dream, half-awake, and asked softly, "Do you want to drink saliva?" ”

"I don't feel thirsty." The emperor tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "Woke you up?" ”

"I'm not asleep yet."

The emperor hugged the warm and gentle woman in his arms and whispered: "Shi Shunyi and the others came to drink tea today, did they say something unpleasant?" ”

Xie Ning hummed sleepily: "No, the concubines can't go out, they come to sit and talk, it's more lively." ”

"Today in Yanning Palace, I saw the two girls of the Lin family."

Xie Ning came to some spirits: "The concubine didn't see it, I heard Gao Jieyu say that she was very beautiful, and she was more knowledgeable than Huajiao. ”

"Are you unhappy?"

Xie Ning moved her neck, and a strand of hair pierced her neck a little bit: "A little bit, the concubine is careful, listening to others who are stronger than herself, her heart must be sour." ”

The emperor curled the corners of his mouth and laughed, but thinking that she might be embarrassed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I know that you are careful." Don't worry, I don't have the leisure to do these things now. "I don't want the Lin family to get their wish.

Before he arrived at Yanning Palace, he knew that Concubine Shu should have some plans, but they couldn't wait in front of Princess Yuyao, which not only made the emperor feel disgusted, but even began to be impatient with the Lin family's urgency and greed.

Concubine Shu should know what to do.

Concubine Shu is a shrewd woman, a little too shrewd.

Of course, the emperor wouldn't like stupid women who couldn't even understand words, but he didn't like Concubine Shu either. Sometimes when he looks at Concubine Shu, he always thinks of Concubine Shu's grandfather, uncle and her father, the Lin family is particularly cunning, they are sophisticated and play with political skills, holding the banner of righteousness, morality, and justice in the world to grab benefits in their pockets. The spices and other things consumed by Concubine Shu's bathing have to cost her a season's monthly silver, and even the emperor will feel pain to support such a concubine who is extravagant, in fact, this cost is not given by the royal family, it is Concubine Shu's own private room, and the Lin family behind her is supporting her life.

Speaking of the Lin family, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Xie Ning.

There was another thing I didn't have time to tell her today, and she must be happy to know it.

It doesn't matter, she'll find out in two days.

The next day, Concubine Shu sent off a guest, and she sent her niece away.

The people in the palace felt that they all had the answer. After Chen Jieyu heard the news, she thought of the fact that the emperor left Yanning Palace yesterday.

"Concubine Shu, this is abandoning the car to protect the handsome. Thinking about it, her cousin is just that, if her niece and nephew also stay in the palace, what will others say about the emperor? Wouldn't it hurt the emperor's reputation? Chen Jieyu's temper changed greatly after this grounding, although the emperor did not demote her rank or punish her in other ways, but since she lifted the grounding, the emperor has not summoned her once.

At this time, Concubine Shu brought her maiden girl into the palace again, and Chen Jieyu felt more and more hopeless to turn over, and her heart was full of resentment.

There are many people who think like her.

Some people, including Bai Hongqi, saw her cruel determination from Concubine Shu's decision.

If Concubine Shu wants to give birth to a child in her womb, her niece is born to Concubine Shu's brother, and her cousin is in the next room, which one is farther? The long house used Concubine Shu to suppress the different voices of others in the Lin family, and Concubine Shu left her cousin to want to give birth to a child in her womb, and the biological mother of the child after giving birth to her son became an obstacle for her.

Bai Hongqi found that the emperor was surprisingly disgusted by this matter, and he couldn't tell whether it was for the Lin family or for Concubine Shu.

After a long time in the palace, I will see everything, and it is difficult to feel particularly shocked and angry about something. Bai Hongqi has only one code of conduct, and only the emperor's orders are obeyed. Whoever the emperor likes, he likes. Whoever the emperor hates, Bai Hongqi will definitely spare no effort to squeeze out and suppress the other party.

In the past, Bai Hongqi was polite to Concubine Shu, and the same was true to Concubine Xian. Even when the queen was still there, Bai Hongqi never flattered the queen, because the emperor didn't like the queen from the beginning.

The queen and the queen mother are aunts and nephews, and the queen mother didn't even ask the emperor when she arranged this marriage, Bai Hongqi felt that he would not like such a queen if he was the emperor. What's more, the queen's appearance is like her own aunt, so people can't find the words to praise her, and they can only say that she has a good character. The queen's mantra is "the queen mother says", everything is the queen mother's decision, a living echo worm.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu were sealed after entering the house, and Concubine Xian's body was not very good at that time, especially in winter, when she was wrapped thickly, and she couldn't see anyone when she saw her clothes. Concubine Shu looked generous, gentle, and eloquent at that time, and she was much stronger than the queen and the virtuous concubine.

Bai Hongqi suddenly remembered that many years ago, the emperor and Concubine Shu also had love, although the time was very short.

What ended Concubine Shu's sweet days?

It's been so long that I can't remember it clearly.

Hu Rong scratched his head and went to find Fang Shanggong.

"Then Mrs. Xie is renting a house, I heard that she originally wanted to buy it, but the house she fancy is three entrances with a garden, the asking price is not low, she can't pay the money, and she wants to empty the gloves white wolf." Hu Rong looked disgusted when he spoke: "She must have moved out the name of her master to bluff others." ”

The result was not bluffed.

This made Hu Rongdu feel embarrassed for his master. Half because Xie Meiren actually has such a bad relative, and half because he raised Xie Meiren's name and still can't bluff the people in the capital.

"Those who can do dental work and Chinese people are shrewd like monkeys, and the big mansions that can handle the three entrances in the inner city have a backstage, and they are only relatives of the harem beauties...... It doesn't frighten them. ”

Hu Rong looked bitter: "Let's not talk about renting a house, there is one more troublesome thing, she wants to find her daughter-in-law's family, especially her lame daughter, and found a few matchmakers to say that her niece and nephew are now pregnant with a dragon seed and are going to give birth to a prince, the implication is that whoever wants to marry her lame daughter will become the emperor's brother-in-law, the prince's uncle, and the future glory and wealth are unlimited!" Listen to what this is? ”

This made Hu Rong's lungs almost explode.

Fang Shanggong smiled very indifferently, and was also a little helpless: "People can't choose their parents, even if they don't make it any longer, they are also Xie Meiren's relatives." ”

"What kind of relative is this? It's just a demon who knocks out the bones and sucks the marrow. ”

"yes." Fang Shanggong suddenly asked, "How did you enter the palace?" ”

Hu Rong was stunned for a moment before saying: "There is no food at home, and you won't starve to death if you enter the palace." ”

"I'm just like you." Fang Shanggong's gaze fell on his sleeve: "Why is your sleeve broken?" ”

She didn't say that Hu Rong didn't notice it, he raised his hand to take a look, and the sleeve was indeed broken, and the crack was still threaded, it must have been accidentally broken by a wedge or something.

Qingmei brought the sewing box, Hu Rong took off the robe, and Qingmei threaded the needle and thread to sew for him. Hu Rongli was wearing a jacket, the jacket was a little short, it was last autumn, and he grew a little bigger. It looked too unseemly not to wear a robe in front of Fang Shanggong, Hu Rong pulled the hem of the clothes and wanted to pull the clothes down again.

"Do you think it's better in the palace or at home?" Fang Shanggong asked.

No one had asked him such a thing before, Hu Rong said: "The palace is very good, well-fed and warmly clothed." I heard that the family has been good in the past two years, and I can eat enough. "In this way, the younger brother will not have to cut a knife and enter the palace as a eunuch.

If you want him to say what's good, he really can't say.

"There is no one in my family anymore, and I entered the palace as a palace maid because my family was poor. If the family had enough to eat and could feed all the children, you and I might not be able to enter the palace. ”

Hu Rong agrees with this.

"But Xie Meiren is different from you and me. The Xie family did not lack a bite to eat, and they also sent their daughter to the palace. I didn't ask her whether she was alive or dead for a few years, and when I knew that she was proud, I hurried up and wanted to be rich and noble. ”

Hu Rong didn't quite understand what Fang Shanggong meant, he had a vague idea in his heart, but it wasn't clear yet.

"It's hard for a clean official to cut off family affairs." Fang Shanggong didn't say anything more.

Qingmei's needlework has grown a lot, and there are basically no traces to be seen after making up for it. Hu Rong thanked her and took the robe and put it on.

Can't even Fang Shanggong do it?

Hu Rong pondered over and over again what to do with this family? I heard Xie say that the three of them don't plan to return to their hometown, they want to live in the capital, and the people from their hometown are also coming to the capital, I heard that even the old lady is going to Beijing together.

With such a brazen family, Hu Rong felt that it was not worth it to give them the benefit of a penny. It's better to trample them under your feet like bedbugs and run them over hard.

But that would hurt Xie Meiren's face too much. When it is said that Xie Meiren's mother's family is so depressed and has such a scoundrel character, it is inevitable that he will be despised together with Xie Meiren.

Sure enough, as Fang Shanggong said, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs. I can't complain that I heard Zhou Yuchen say before that he wanted to fight a mouse and was afraid of hurting the jade bottle.

Those people are really annoying, but they have the same surname as Xie Meiren.

If only they could go far away and never come back.

Of course, Hu Rong knew that he was wishful thinking. No one who comes to the capital will be reluctant to leave. Compared with the capital, who wants to live in the backwoods? In the capital, there are the world's first-class power and wealth, there are outstanding people gathered from all over the world, and everything that makes people dazzled.

There must be a way. Hu Rong secretly cheered himself up, the solutions were all thought up by people. The master's belly is getting bigger and bigger, but the spirit and appetite are very good, the imperial doctor comes to ask for the pulse every day, the emperor comes over every other day, and often stays in Yong'an Palace, this pet is now the first in the harem.

Hu Rong only wants to continue such a good life, and there must be no variables.
