Wang Yixing didn't return all night, and Wen Yifang was so worried that he didn't sleep all night and kept waiting for him.

As a result, I waited until dawn to hear from him returning.

Wen Yifang hurriedly went to the mirror to take a photo, and felt that his face was too pale, so he quickly patted his face with rouge, turned around and asked, "Where is Yixing?" Have you returned to the inner courtyard? ”

The maid who came to inform her hurriedly said: "The son didn't go back to the inner courtyard, but in the outer courtyard study." ”

Wen Yishu hurriedly said: "Bring me the soup, I will send it over in person." ”

The maid hurriedly went to help her put the soup in the food box, and went out with her into the outer courtyard.

Wang Yixing's house is very small, and the so-called second gate is just a hanging flower arch in the middle of the three-entry courtyard.

Wen Yifang wore a plain white dress, her head was bare, and she only combed her mustache, and came to Wang Yixing's study in the outer courtyard.

"Yixing, are you back? Where did you go last night? I didn't sleep all night worrying about you. When she arrived at the door, she took the food box from the maid's hand, held it in her hand, and said with a smile at the door, "I stewed some soup for you, you can drink it while it's hot." ”

Wang Yixing is sorting out his things on the bookcase under the window.

Hearing Wen Yi's voice, Wang Yixing's hand movement paused, he didn't look back, and a faint light flashed in his lowered eyes.

“…… No need. His voice was still as gentle and solemn as ever, but his tone was a little different.

Wen Yiroom was sensitively aware of it, she bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and looked at the blue brick and stone floor of the study.

"I've been helping the prince for a while, and I didn't go to the yamen, and there are a lot of things in the ministry. Start today. It's going to be dealt with. It's going to be busy. You guys...... Find a place to move out early. I'm not going to send you off. Wang Yixing turned around, picked up the things on the bookcase, and moved to the back room, leaving only Wen Yi's room with an elegant back in a green shirt.

Wen Yimu raised his head suddenly, his lips trembled, and he almost didn't believe his ears!

He drove them away!

He's chasing them away!

But after the surprise, Wen Yiroom felt panicked again.

If they are driven away, where are they going to live?

Do you really want to sleep on the streets?! Or go to the South Side. Hang out with those inferior people?!

No, she has to think of a way, she can't let Wang Yixing drive them out like this......

Wen Yifang left the food box at the door of the study, and turned around and went back to the inner courtyard in a daze.

……

The Anwa Hall of the Inner Palace.

The Empress Dowager sat on the kang in front of the window and spoke to King Zhao, who was sitting on the brocade across from her.

It can be seen that King Zhao is in a good mood.

The Empress Dowager also got better.

"General Zhou Xiao of the Divine General's Mansion got married, didn't you go to congratulate him in person?" The Empress Dowager stared at King Zhao with a smile on her lips, and her eyes were very kind and kind.

King Zhao paused and said with a smile: "...... Your Majesty won't be happy for me to go. Besides, I don't know them well. ”

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes. Blowing the smoke from the hot tea in his hand, "It's good that you know." ”

King Zhao did not want to continue the topic. Turning his head to look at the Empress Dowager's aging face, she frowned and said, "Imperial Grandmother, have you been too hard working lately?" Or is it Majesty...... Too much for you? I had already begged His Majesty a few days ago. ”

The Empress Dowager raised her head with a smile, "You have a heart, the imperial grandmother really didn't hurt you in vain, and raised you in vain." With that, she put down the teacup and stood up, "Your eldest brother is actually not bad to the mourning family. He is now the emperor, and if he is not good to the mourning family, won't he pour dirty water on himself? ”

King Zhao followed and stood up.

“…… The mourning family is now an old woman, and all six parts have been collected by him. The mourning family's maiden family was taken away by him, there were no soldiers in his hands, and there was a god general's mansion for him to sit in, and he wanted to circle the mourning family to give people a handle. The Empress Dowager's words seemed to be very open-minded, and there was no taste of falling in love with power at all.

King Zhao knew the temperament of the emperor's grandmother, who seemed to be supple and kind and easy to speak, but in fact, he was extremely stubborn in his bones.

With her ability and ability to run the government for 20 years, no matter how you look at it, the imperial grandmother doesn't seem to be such a big fighter.

King Zhao knew it in his heart, so he didn't ask much, just said some gossip, and left.

Emperor Xia Qi really didn't circle the Empress Dowager anymore.

In order to ascend the throne and regain the power in the hands of the Empress Dowager for so many years, he did put the Empress Dowager under house arrest.

Now that the throne has been stabilized, the key is that the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion no longer exists, and the soldiers of the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion are taken over by the Ministry of War.

Coupled with the impartial attitude of the Divine General's Mansion, Emperor Xia Qi no longer circled the Empress Dowager, but just sent someone to secretly monitor her.

After King Zhao left, the Empress Dowager sat down in front of the dressing table and looked in the mirror.

In the mirror, it is no longer as white and greasy as the delicate face of peeling eggs.

A few crow's feet lines appeared at the corners of the eyes, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose were gradually revealed.

Although the current Empress Dowager is still much younger than her real age, she is no longer as beautiful as a young woman in her twenties.

"I often hate and entertain little, and I am willing to love my daughter and smile lightly......" The Empress Dowager looked in the mirror and smiled slightly, "This poem is really well written." ”

Female official Yao stood behind the Empress Dowager with her head bowed, and did not dare to answer.

The Empress Dowager tilted her head, and a glimmer of silver light in the mirror did not escape her eyes.

She looked closely, and it turned out to be a strand of gray hair on her sideburns......

She also finally has gray hair.

The Empress Dowager buckled the mirror on the table and said with a smile: "I really can't accept the old man." ”

Lady Yao's heart moved, and she raised her head and said, "Empress Dowager, do you want to ask Grandma Zheng if there is any special balm?" ”

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly, shook her head and asked, "How is Zheng Yiren doing?" I heard that he was so sick that he couldn't move? ”

"Well, I'm so sick that I can't move, but I can't even speak." Lady Yao's tone was very pity, but the look in her eyes was the opposite, "I went to see her in person a few days ago. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "In this way, she gave me some medicine." The mourners went and fetched it. And he said, "She gave her mourners more than just ointment." ”

She smiled. glanced at Female Officer Yao. "How is it possible that such a miraculous effect can only be applied to the face and body by the balm applied to it? Of course there is something else. ”

"More than balm?" Female Officer Yao was puzzled. Didn't Zheng Suxin always say that it was her balm, coupled with a special hand massage?

The Empress Dowager got up, went to the back room to fetch a small white porcelain vase, and smiled meaningfully: "This is the most useful thing." However, she had an agreement with the mourning family that this thing should not be talked about to others. ”

Lady Yao sighed, and took a closer look at the little white porcelain bottle.

The Empress Dowager put the small white porcelain vase in her sleeve pocket, got up and said, "You go and talk to the emperor." Just said that the mourning family wants to go out for a walk, and ask if it's okay. ”

Female official Yao answered and went to Emperor Xia Qi to spread the word.

Emperor Xia Qi thought for a while and said, "Send someone to protect the imperial grandmother and don't have stubble." ”

The people in the palace responded and went to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for the Empress Dowager to take the female official Yao and the palace maids and guards in the palace to take a big car and quietly leave the palace. I went to Zheng Guogong's Mansion first.

Lady Yao said quietly: "Empress Dowager, do you think you will go to the Duke of Wu's mansion?" ”

Wujiazhuang was burned. Zheng Suxin has been taken back to the Wu Guogong Mansion to recuperate.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Let's go to the Zheng Guogong Mansion first." The mourning family hasn't spoken to Old Man Zheng and Old Madam Zheng for a long time. ”

The cart moved forward slowly, and it didn't take long to come to the door of Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Because the Empress Dowager went out of the palace in micro-clothes, and she did not put on a big guard of honor, the female official Yao personally got out of the car and went to knock in front of Zheng Guogong's corner door.

As soon as the disciple saw Lady Yao's greetings, he hurriedly rushed to the outer study to deliver the letter.

Zheng Guogong was not in the study of the outer courtyard, but in the inner courtyard, talking with Mrs. Zheng.

Today is the second day of Sheng Siyan's marriage to the Divine General's Mansion.

Counting by the hour, she is now serving tea and recognizing her relatives, and she will only go to the temple in the afternoon.

Only after seeing the temple did she truly become a member of the Divine General's Mansion in terms of etiquette.

Old Madam Zheng has always been very excited, but she also knows that this matter is not trivial, so she can only endure herself and can only talk to Old Man Zheng quietly.

The mother-in-law on the second door listened to the report of the door, and hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard to spread the word.

Old Man Zheng hurriedly stood up, "The Empress Dowager is here, I'll go to the gate to greet you." ”

The Empress Dowager helped Lady Yao's men get out of the car and nodded to Old Man Zheng, "Zheng Guogong doesn't have to be polite, let's go in and talk." ”

Old Man Zheng was busy and respectfully invited the Empress Dowager in.

Several palace maids and chamberlains followed them in, while the other guards stayed outside to guard the door.

After entering the Zhengguo Mansion, the Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family will not go to the inner courtyard, just talk to you in the outer courtyard." ”

Old Man Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Then go to my study." With that, he led the Empress Dowager in and came to his outer study in the outer courtyard.

To go to the study, of course, is to get down to business.

Female Officer Yao stood guard at the door, not letting others approach.

Old man Zheng personally poured tea for the Empress Dowager and brought it up, and then sat down with the prime minister.

The Empress Dowager sniffed the teacup, touched her lips slightly, put it aside, and asked Old Man Zheng: "The Four Great Mansions, there is no prince in your Zheng Mansion." Didn't you plan for it at all? ”

Old Man Zheng has also been hesitant about this matter.

It stands to reason that the prince should be the eldest son, but the hereditary position of the four major princes is very important.

Once the prince is not picked well, it will indeed affect the strength of the four major princes.

Of course, Old Man Zheng was very dissatisfied with Zheng Xinghong, the eldest son of the original match.

He was born to Mr. Zheng's original partner Ye desperately, and he was not well raised in his mother's womb, and he has been thin and sick since birth.

finally grew up, but his qualifications were mediocre, and he was not as good as the three sons born by the Jimuro Kang family.

But because Zheng Xinghong's sister-in-law Zheng Suxin was very insistent on this issue in the past, she must have her brother-in-law, that is, Zheng Guogong's eldest son Zheng Xinghong be the son, and the old man Zheng was not good at brushing her mind, but he also refused to give the son of the world to mediocre qualifications so easily, only Zheng Suxin's eldest son Zheng Xinghong was the first to look forward, so he thought of a way, saying that he wanted these four sons to go down to the imperial examination together, and whoever got the higher the ranking in the exam, the position of the son of the world would be.

Old Man Zheng said to the Empress Dowager: "These children are almost the same, and I can't make a decision for a while, so I'm thinking about the next imperial examination." Let them all go. Who's in the highest ranking. Whoever is in this world. ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Old Man Zheng in surprise.

“…… It's a new idea. However, Zheng Yiren is now sick like this, and he can't care so much. Why do you want to create a barrier between the three brothers? The Empress Dowager reminded Old Man Zheng.

Yes, this seems to be able to exclude Zheng Suxin's younger brother Zheng Xinghong from the choice of the son, because he is the worst of the four sons in middle school and can't even write a decent test-taking essay.

But at the same time, it artificially created a situation of competition between Kang's three own sons.

Originally, the position of the son, in a similar situation, the eldest is the most powerful evidence.

If the ability of the elder is too poor. Then among the remaining sons, the elder is also the first, and the young cannot be distinguished.

Zheng Xinghui, the second son of Old Man Zheng and the eldest son of the step-family Kang, is actually the most suitable candidate.

Although his literary name is not as outstanding as Zheng Xiangrong, in addition to Zheng Xiangrong, in the new generation, his literary name is the most prosperous, and he has also written many famous articles that have been recited for a while.

Although he is the son of the stepfamily, he is also the son-in-law, and the younger brother below him was originally extremely obedient to him.

But because of Old Man Zheng, in order to convince Zheng Suxin. came up with the imperial examination, but it would make the three brothers estranged.

There is a conflict of interest. No matter how good the friendship is, it will become impure.

Old Man Zheng let out an "ah" and slapped the table, "The Empress Dowager is right!" It's me who is pedantic. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, "It's not too late. While the mourning family is still alive, I will put an end to this matter for you. As she spoke, her index finger clasped the bookcase of Old Man Zheng, "You write a chapter, please appoint Zheng Xinghui, the eldest son of your step-Murokang family, as the son." The mourning family asked the female official Yao to take it back to the palace, and immediately asked the emperor and the Ministry of Rites to use the seal. ”

is so resolute, and he is about to set the position of the prince of Zheng Guo's mansion.

Old Man Zheng remembered what Zheng Suxin had done to his youngest daughter Zheng Xiangrong, and he really didn't want to return the position of Zheng Guogong to Zheng Suxin's brother-in-law......

That's it, that's what she doesn't want. Just give this position of Zheng Guogong to the eldest brother who wants to be Rong.

Xiang Rong's eldest brother became Zheng Guogong, and he also wanted to ...... and Siyan's protection.

That's it.

Old Man Zheng made up his mind, and his face was solemn, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's concern, the old minister will write a chapter!" ”

Old Man Zheng was the leader of the literary world of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he wrote a piece of music, which was a matter of a wave.

Soon asked Zheng Xinghui, the second son of his concubine, to write the chapter for the prince and send it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked at it and saw that it read: "...... The eldest son, Zheng Xinghong, is weak in all four bodies, shallow in literature and low in talent, and is unworthy of great responsibilities. His younger brother Zheng Xinghui has a kind temperament, filial piety, and high quality, and is a good choice for the son......"

"Well, that's good. - Female Officer Yao! The Empress Dowager nodded again and again.

Zheng Guogong gave his eldest son a comment of "unbearable responsibility" on the chapter inviting the prince to be crowned, which doomed Zheng Suxin's younger brother Zheng Xinghong to be a common man for the rest of his life, not to mention that Zheng Guogong's position is impossible, and he can't even be an ordinary official.

I don't know what kind of mood Zheng Suxin will feel when she sees it......

The Empress Dowager smiled and closed the concerto.

Lady Yao came in response, came over and went out with a concerto, and went to the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Xia Qi heard that it was the idea of the Empress Dowager and Zheng Guogong together, and saw that it was Xinghui, the second son of the Zheng family who was more familiar with him, as the prince, and said busily: "Congratulations to Xinghui." "I quickly used the seal, and then sent it to the Ministry of Rites to use the seal, and put it on the file.

With Female Official Yao out of the horse, this thing that would have taken more than ten days to do was actually done in an hour.

Lady Yao returned to the Zheng Guogong Mansion with the seal edict and the old man Zheng's recital with the emperor and the Ministry of Rites, and presented it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "I really want to congratulate Xinghui." ”

Old Man Zheng saw that the things that had plagued him for more than ten years were actually done in an hour with the help of the Empress Dowager, and he was also very grateful, and hurriedly said: "The old minister will let Xinghui come over and kowtow." ”

Zheng Xinghui was called in a hurry, and it wasn't until he saw the edict that he believed that he was really the prince, and he hurriedly kowtowed to the Empress Dowager gratefully.

The Empress Dowager gave him a reward and took the people away.

Leaving from the Zheng Guo Mansion, the Empress Dowager took people to the Wu Guo Mansion again.

Wu Guogong was not at home, it was Mrs. Wu who led people out to welcome her into the house.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "The mourning family heard that Su Xin was sick, so they came to see her." ”
