Chapter 10 Xu Pingzhi: You two are waiting for me
"It's just one year that my father was furious for some reason, and sent the queen mother into the cold palace, and even wanted to abolish the queen. But I was given a death advice by a hundred civil and military officials, and I hadn't started to remember it at that time. Princess Huaiqing said helplessly:
Although the queen mother came out of the cold palace in the second year, the father and the emperor did not go to the queen mother's bedroom. The Four Emperor Brothers were also snubbed because of this. And since the birth of this palace, it has not been liked by his father.
"Chen Guifei is actually a very jealous and cautious person. Although the eldest prince was later crowned the crown prince, she was never at ease and has always been very hostile to me and the four emperor brothers.
"It's not that I'm narrow-minded, do you know why Lin'an doesn't deal with me?"
Xu Qi'an's heart moved: "Instigated by Concubine Chen?"
Huaiqing nodded slowly: "Lin'an is deeply favored by her father and the emperor, and he indulges her in every way. In the first few years, Chen Guifei was worried that the prince's status was unstable, and often instigated Lin'an to stir up trouble and make it difficult for me. ”
Poor Lin'an, you must have been bullied very badly....... Although it was Lin'an who provoked trouble, Xu Qi'an still felt sorry for Lin'an, not that he preferred mounting, the eldest wife and the younger wife's, the palms and backs of their hands were full of meat.
I just feel that with the rank of mounting, I will be bullied to death by Huaiqing.
After thinking about it, this may be what Chen Guifei wants, the more she understands her daughter, the more she asks her to provoke, so that this can achieve the effect.
Just imagine, Emperor Yuan Jing loved Lin'an, but was repeatedly bullied by Huaiqing and cried, can Emperor Yuan Jing not hate Huaiqing.
"What is the reason for His Majesty's abolition?" asked Xu Qi'an.
"There is no reason, so I was reprimanded by the ministers. Huaiqing shook his head.
The abolition of the queen is the same as the abolition of the crown prince, which is not only the emperor's family affair, but also a national event. The scholar class can't easily divorce his wife, let alone the queen, the mother of the world.
There is no reason, how could the civil and military officials agree to the abolition of Emperor Yuan Jing.
But, if there is no reason, Emperor Yuan Jing will suddenly be angry and want to abolish the queen?
There must be a hidden meaning behind this.
"How many years did this happen in Yuanjing?" Xu Qi'an asked, feeling that he was too gossipy, and added:
"It may be related to the Fu Fei case..... Ah no, the humble duty did not doubt the meaning of the queen's mother. ”
Princess Huaiqing glanced at him sideways, and said lightly: "If you are curious, you can ask directly, what are the reasons." ”
....... Xu Qi'an was a little embarrassed.
"Thirteen years of Yuanjing. Huaiqing retracted his gaze, looked into the distance, and said, "As for the reason, I don't know. Even after asking the queen many times, she did not answer. ”
In the thirteenth year of Yuanjing, it is somewhat familiar....... Xu Qi'an nodded: "Princess Xie told me." ”
He originally thought that Emperor Yuanjing did not appoint the four princes because the crown prince was relatively dull, but now it seems that there is a deeper reason behind it.
That's right, although the crown prince is not particularly shrewd, how good can the fourth prince be...... Well, it is not ruled out that the four princes are clumsy....... Turning around and asking Duke Wei, with his vicious eyes, he said that what the four princes are, how the four princes are.
After walking a few steps, Huaiqing suddenly said: "Why did you end in a hurry today? With your ability, you will not have to go home to "consider." ”
Xu Qi'an felt that Huaiqing was more honest with him, and he should also be honest, which was conducive to maintaining a good relationship.
"Humiliation is just an attempt to stall for time. Xu Qi'an said.
"Stalling for time?" Huaiqing frowned.
"Yes," sniffing the faint body fragrance of the eldest princess, Xu Qi'an said helplessly:
"I offended too many people in the Sangbo case and the Yunzhou case, and Your Majesty didn't like me either, so I was originally going to be posthumously named a viscount. But it was canceled due to the resurrection of the lowly office.
"Later, Your Majesty promised that as long as Concubine Fu's case was investigated, I would be re-named the son of Changle County. ”
I was so hard.
"Do you think that my father will not be trustworthy?" Princess Huaiqing agreed: "This plan is good, if you don't become a knight for one day, you will delay it for one day." ”
Xu Qi'an glanced at her unexpectedly, it was worthy of Wei Yuan's day, this idea was very synchronous.
The so-called gentleman has no jokes, not that the emperor can't lie, but describes the national policy and holy decree issued by the emperor.
Therefore, if Emperor Yuan Jing is not knighted for a day, Xu Qi'an will delay it for a day, so as not to make the dog emperor speak.
"It's not too early, let's go home first. Xu Qi'an glanced at the sky, and now when he returns home, he can still catch lunch.
"Hmm. Huaiqing bowed his head.
........
On the other side, Emperor Yuanjing's dormitory.
Half an hour before lunch, Emperor Yuan Jing, who had finished meditating, returned to the dormitory, and his companion ran in happily and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, there has been significant progress in the case of Concubine Fu, there has been significant progress. ”
Emperor Yuanjing was stunned, immediately put on a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Say." ”
The old eunuch relayed the information reported by the little eunuch to Emperor Yuan Jing word for word, and the latter listened silently and did not make a statement.
"Your Majesty....." The old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "The old slave dares to ask, is the prince innocent?"
Emperor Yuan Jing shook his head slightly: "It's too early...... In just two days, he was able to preliminarily find out the context of the case, Xu Qi'an is indeed a talent, but he has more eyes. ”
He snorted coldly and said, "Go and urge the cabinet, prepare the edict earlier, and don't choose a good day and an auspicious day." ”
Last time, he asked the old eunuch to go to the cabinet to deliver the decree, and the cabinet took it, but on the grounds that there was no auspicious day recently, it was delayed.
"Yes. ”
...........
Second Uncle Xu, who was in charge of the daily patrol, returned home with a helmet, and the saber on his back swayed with his footsteps.
There is a half-hour break at noon, and Xu Pingzhi, who is the head of a hundred households, will go back to the house to eat at this time and drink tea for a while by the way.
The kitchen was still busy with lunch, and my aunt was planting a newly bought gentleman's orchid in the backyard, and she was wearing a light blue robe and a pleated long skirt of the same color, embroidered with intricate moire patterns.
When the orchid is planted by bending down, it highlights the slender waist and plump hips.
Second Uncle Xu held his helmet, stood not far away, and cleared his throat: "Madam, I'm hungry, you go to the room to urge." ”
The aunt planted flowers by herself and ignored them.
"Ma'am?"
"What are you shouting," the aunt said with a cold expression: "Is Lord Xu going to socialize with his colleagues tonight, and he won't come back." ”
Second Uncle Xu was stunned: "Madam, what are you talking about?" ”
The aunt planted the last Junzi orchid, clapped her hands, pinched her waist, and smiled coldly:
"What is the saying? Yes, blood is thicker than water. Your own nephew, who has developed and never forgotten you, knows to secretly stuff silver for your second uncle. ”
Second Uncle Xu was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart How long ago did Da Lang stuff me with silver, it was before he went to Yunzhou, why did he return this old account to you.
"Wow, Da Lang just jumped out of the coffin yesterday, went out that day, and didn't return at night, how could he have time to stuff me with silver. ”
Second Uncle Xu definitely didn't admit it, and he didn't admit it, not to mention that it was a fictitious thing.
When the aunt heard this, she fryed the pot, raised her eyebrows, and said loudly: "Xu Pingzhi, you really want to take fifty taels of private money to secretly Qinglou."
"Erlang told me this morning that Xu Ningyan secretly stuffed you fifty taels, I thought that if you admit it, then you will be exposed, but I didn't expect you to really want to hide it privately.
"You don't admit it, do you, will Erlang lie to me? Xu Pingzhi, you have no conscience, the old lady runs this family, works hard, and pulls your unlucky nephew to grow up, you repay me like this?"
"What about Erlang? Let him come out. Second Uncle Xu was angry.
"Phew, Erlang is making up for sleep, don't quarrel with him, don't open the topic, you can't pay fifty taels. ”
“..... I'll hand it over, madam, don't be angry. Second Uncle Xu entered the bedroom dejectedly, and in order to prevent his aunt from discovering the place where the silver ticket was hidden, he walked quickly.
After entering the bedroom, he went straight to Xu Lingyin's small room, lifted his daughter's bed, and at the bottom was all his private money, a total of eighty taels.
Uncle Xu bit his heart and pulled out two silver tickets of twenty taels and two silver bills of five taels.
At this time, he suddenly saw a bag of green oranges on the small table next to the bed.
Green oranges are not simple oranges in Xu Pingzhi's eyes, so he is particularly sensitive to green oranges, and he immediately became suspicious.
"Green oranges are sour and astringent, and they are usually made for medicinal purposes, so why buy them for no reason? ”
With doubts flashing in his heart, Second Uncle Xu left the wing, returned to the courtyard, and obediently presented the silver ticket.
The aunt's face was a little pale, she snorted, took out a delicate little purse in her arms, and put away the silver ticket.
Xu Pingzhi took the opportunity to ask: "Why is there a green orange on the Lingyin table?
"Jiro bought it. ”
Fifty taels arrived, and the aunt said with satisfaction.
Erlang bought it, why did Erlang buy this thing....... His purpose in buying green oranges should be different from mine....... Wrong!
Second Uncle Xu's heart moved: "Erlang was the same as Da Lang last night, and he didn't return all night, right." ”
"Erlang went to socialize with his colleagues, and as for your nephew, who knows where his ghost went. Auntie rolled her eyes.
If it weren't for the previous social deaths, Xu Pingzhi would have deeply agreed with his wife's words. But now, he knows what kind of man his son is.
Da Lang didn't return all night, and Erlang didn't return all night........ According to what I know about Da Lang, he probably went to the Jiaofang Division, but the green orange was bought back by Erlang.......
"Jiro smells of oranges, right? Xu Pingzhi asked casually.
The aunt nodded indifferently, admiring the gentleman's orchid she had planted.
The answer is obvious...... It was Da Lang who taught Erlang, and if nothing else, Da Lang sold me, so Erlang made up a fictitious private money to beat me..... Bastard things, even Lao Tzu dares to calculate.
Xu Pingzhi said in a deep voice: "It seems that Erlang has had a headache recently. ”
"Huh?"
The aunt looked at her blankly, she was still very interested in her son.
"Green oranges can soothe the spirit, treat headaches, and have many benefits, otherwise this thing is sour and astringent, and there are still people selling it?" Xu Pingzhi said.
Green oranges do have medicinal value, but the treatment of headaches is made up by Second Uncle Xu, anyway, the five fingers do not touch the spring water, and it is impossible for the wife who does not read much to see through it.
"It must be that the pressure of Chunyu is too much. Auntie was immediately distressed.
"Madam, Erlang hasn't started a family yet, you as a mother should take care of it, don't fiddle with flowers and plants all day long. The second uncle taught:
"This is Jiro bought it and ate it himself, why did you put it in Suzune's room. ”
The aunt is not the kind of motherly type of woman, probably because of her beauty, she is particularly arrogant and squeamish. The care for children is far from the level of asking for warmth.
That's why I was often yelled by the annoying Xu Lingyin, and when I was eating, I handed over my young daughter to Lu'e to take care of, and I was happy when I had a good meal.
"It was Erlang himself who gave it to Lingyin, and I thought it would be a pity to lose it, so I put it in her room and ate it when I came back. Auntie explained.
"Okay, don't talk about it, hurry up and take the green orange to the kitchen, let the cook girls stew the soup, and Erlang will drink it when he wakes up." By the way, stew a bowl for Da Lang too. After Xu Pingzhi finished speaking, he hurriedly added:
"This soup is not delicious, Da Lang probably won't want it, and your aunt can't stop him. You let Lingyue stew together, and when he comes back in the evening, I'm not afraid that he won't drink it. ”
The aunt nodded, twisted her small waist to get the green oranges.
As soon as lunch was made in the house, Xu Dalang came back, took off the gong and saber, threw them on the ground, sat down at the table, and greeted:
"Has the second uncle come back for lunch now?"
"I'll come back to eat later, I just received my appointment this morning, and from tomorrow I won't patrol the outer city, but the inner city. Xu Pingzhi drank the soup with a cold expression.
From the outer city to the inner city, the position has not changed, but the salary has been improved by one grade.
"Good thing, good thing!"
Xu Qi'an took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by Lu E, and said in his heart What happened to the second uncle today, with an unhappy look.
At this time, Xu Erlang came out sleepy-eyed, glanced at the eldest brother, and the brothers tacitly agreed.
"Dad, did you quarrel with your mother today?" Xu Erlang said tentatively, sitting down as he said this.
"Hmph, don't let me worry about them one by one, it's better to be Erlang, in the end, it came out of my mother's belly. The aunt glared at her uncle and nephew.
The corners of Xu Erlang's mouth turned up slightly.
Xu Pingzhi looked at his aunt's personal maid quietly, and said, "Lu'e, go to the room to see if the soup is stewed." ”
Lu E responded obediently and walked out of the side hall in small steps.
"What kind of soup?"
Xu Qi'an, who had lost his daughter last night, asked with great interest.
"It's for you and Erlang to make up for it. Auntie said.
Xu Qi'an and Xu Xinnian glanced at each other, feeling not good, how did the aunt (mother) know that we were going to make up for our body?
After a while, Lu E came in with a large pot of soup, and the rich sour taste came to her face.
The large porcelain bowl was placed on the table, and the yellow-orange soup was floated with sliced green oranges, and the skin had not even been peeled.
The aunt personally served soup for Xu New Year, and complained: "Erlang, why don't you tell your mother about your headache, seeing that spring is coming, it's wrong for your mother, and your mother didn't take good care of you."
"This green orange soup is specially stewed for you by my mother. ”
Green orange soup?!
Xu Xinnian looked dazed, and said in his heart, how can green oranges be stewed, isn't this going to drink dead people.
"Mother, my headache is that I drank too much wine, and I socialized with my colleagues last night......" Xu Xinnian glanced at his eldest brother with a little weakness.
Green orange stew....... Who came up with the dark cuisine, Xu Qi'an almost laughed, and said seriously:
"Green orange soup is a big supplement, Erlang must drink more. ”
"You have it too. Second Uncle Xu said lightly: "This soup was stewed by Lingyue and your aunt. ”
“?”
A big question mark appeared in Xu Qi'an's mind.
"I'm a god refining realm martial artist, do I need this thing?" Xu Qi'an asked rhetorically.
"Big brother!" Xu Lingyue said softly: "You just drink a bowl, people have stewed it for a long time." ”
Xu Qi'an couldn't help but look at the little brother.
The little brother was also looking at him.
Both brothers want each other to rise to the top.
“.......”
"Tons and tons tons and tons ......."
In the end, they both drank a big bowl, choked on tears, and their stomachs turned upside down.
"Hahahaha, eat, eat. Second Uncle Xu drank a little wine and showed a simple smile.

PS: Thank you for the reward from the alliance leader of "Silent Little Zhuge ". In the past few days, I haven't had the alliance leader to add more, mainly because of 10,000+ daily updates, which is the limit of my daily changes.
I originally wanted to fix the typo, but when I saw this point in time, I decided to send it first and then change it.
