Donggong Zhangjiao

Royal study room.

Pei Yao looked at the folder handed over by Xu Hanlin in his hand and took a long breath.

"What kind of injustice did Xu Lingyi suffer in the palace these days?"

He asked, and Hong Zheng answered quickly.

"Not long ago, Xu Lingyi and Empress Wanbin had a verbal conflict. Empress Wanbin punished Xu Lingyi and her personal maids on the grounds that Xu Lingyi had offended her superiors, had no dignity, and was not strict with her subordinates."

"What kind of punishment?" Pei Yao raised his eyes.

Hong Zheng looked embarrassed and whispered, "Shang Zui, I heard that the beating was not very light. Xu Lingyi went all the way back to Xianfu Palace, and many palace people saw it."

After hearing this, Pei Yao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"No wonder Xu Hanlin handed over a note saying that the old lady at home is not in good health now. She has been thinking about seeing Xu Lingyi for the past few days and asked my permission."

"Well, Xu Lingyi must be very loved by the elders at home. In the past year, he has experienced a lot of things in the palace, and the family is also worried about her."

Hong Zheng kept silent about the harem fight and only talked about human nature.

Pei Yao chuckled lightly, "You are considerate of others, so do you think I will agree to this?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, please spare this slave. How dare I say such things? I only know that Your Majesty has always been benevolent, kind, and considerate of his ministers." Hong Zheng hurriedly apologized.

But this seems not to be said, but it is all said.

Since he is caring for his subordinates, why would he not allow the old lady at home to come in and visit?

"Okay, let's go and inform the Queen and Xu Lingyi so that we can arrange things properly."

Pei Yao lowered his head, closed the fold in his hand, and put it aside.

Naturally, the queen would not sing a different tune. Originally, the Lu family and the Xu family were married, and she and Xu Lingyi were in the same boat.

If you don't give me this little face, how can the two families be close friends?

The old lady of the Xu family entered the palace the next morning. Together with Mrs. Xu's wife, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the palace.

This is normal. Mrs. Xu is old, so she naturally needs someone to take care of her when she enters the palace.

After entering the palace, I first went to pay my respects to the queen. The queen saw her in person, drank a cup of tea, and rewarded her with something before letting her leave.

Outside Fengxuan Palace, Xiaozhi was obviously waiting.

After meeting the old lady and his wife of the Xu family, they were busy leading people to Xianfu Palace.

"Grandma, mother!"

Xu Lingyi, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, couldn't hold back when she saw her relatives. She cried and walked forward quickly and threw herself at the two of them.

"My wife, please see the order!"

Mrs. Xu's eyes were red. While looking at her granddaughter who had lost a lot of weight, she saluted and reminded Xu Lingyi to pay attention to the rules.

"There are no outsiders here. Grandma and mother don't need to be polite. Come in and sit down." Xu Lingyi said with a tearful smile.

He took Old Mrs. Xu's hand and helped her in.

After entering the house and closing the door, until she was the only one left in the house, Mrs. Xu took Xu Lingyi's hand and kept stroking it.

"My Jiaojiao, you have suffered."

"Grandma." Xu Yingyi cried, "It's my granddaughter who is unfilial and makes grandma worried."

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes with distress, "Your father and I didn't support your entry into the palace at the beginning. You refused to listen. Now that you have suffered like this, we feel really..."

"Well, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to talk about it anymore." Old Mrs. Xu sighed, and then looked aside, "Hongdou, you are older. What has been the situation in the palace in the past year since Lingyi has been in the palace? How about me? Talk about it.”

"Yes, old lady."

Hongdou came forward and bowed, and then told her everything that had happened in the past year. Listen, Mrs. Xu spoke first.

"Look at it this way, the emperor still values ​​you because of our family, but in terms of true love, I'm afraid he doesn't have much."

"Mom, how can you say that?" Xu Lingyi pouted.

She desperately wanted to enter the palace and marry the most noble man in Daqi. Naturally, she was looking forward to becoming a favorite concubine. After entering the palace, she saw that Pei Yao had a good temperament and appearance, and he was her support for the rest of her life. Naturally, she fell in love with him. , listening to my mother’s words, I felt uncomfortable.

"If I don't say ugly things and ask you to wake up, how will you live in the future?" Mrs. Xu was a little more stern.

Old Mrs. Xu also said, "What your mother said is true, but don't be discouraged. If the emperor doesn't like you, then you have to find a way to make the emperor like you. It all depends on people. I don't believe it. When Concubine Zhao first entered the East Palace, , with that status, the emperor will like her at first sight, right?"

Listening to what the two of them said, Xu Lingyi's eyes showed a bit of irritation.

"I want to, but I don't know what to do."

"Whatever the Emperor likes, you can do whatever you want, and it will be like that, isn't it?" Mrs. Xu said softly, "If you don't want to compete for favor, then just be down-to-earth, safe and sound, and just have nothing to do with the world. , for the sake of the Xu family, if you behave well and are sensible, the emperor will naturally treat you well."

Obviously Mrs. Xu is more optimistic about the latter way of survival, and when she talks about it, she is particularly serious and thoughtful.

Xu Lingyi didn't know whether he heard it or not, but he nodded in response anyway.

At this time, the old lady of the Xu family asked again in a deep voice.

"You have always taken good care of your body. According to Hongdou, you have not fallen out of favor after being in the palace for so long. Why haven't you gotten pregnant?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingyi was suddenly reminded of the memory of Qinheyuan, and her expression turned bad for a moment.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's fate that hasn't come yet. Isn't Concubine Wan of Yichun Palace not pregnant yet?"

"I don't care about others, but you need someone to rely on."

Mrs. Xu had a serious face. As she spoke, she waved to a nun who was following her to come forward.

Xu Lingyi had not been paying attention just now, but now she realized that this nanny was not the one who usually served her grandmother.

At this moment, the nanny had already checked Xu Lingyi's pulse under the instructions of Mrs. Xu.

"Mrs. Du, how are you?" Mrs. Xu asked hurriedly.

Withdrawing her hand, Mrs. Du said in a deep voice, "There is no problem with the pulse. Ling Yi is in good health, has sufficient blood and energy, and has never been cold."

"So, since Ling Yi is still not pregnant, it's not because she was harmed by others?" Old Mrs. Xu asked.

Mrs. Du nodded, "It should be so, but I still give Ling Yi a prescription to help with pregnancy. If Ling Yi drinks it according to the prescription, it should be helpful."

"Thank you very much!" Mrs. Xu nodded.

Xu Lingyi came to his senses at this moment, and was also touched that his family thought of him so much.

It is not easy to enter the palace. Xu Lingyi's status is not high, so naturally she cannot keep her mother's family to eat.

After sitting in Xianfu Palace for more than half an hour, the Xu family was sent out of the palace.

In the afternoon, Xu Lingyi's palace invited an imperial doctor, saying that Xu Lingyi was feeling unwell, dizzy and nauseated.

The imperial doctor went to see her and said that it was because Xu Lingyi missed her family too much and was originally in a bad mood. Now that she suddenly met her mother-in-law and was separated, her mood fluctuated too much.

The meaning of heart disease.

In Jingqian Palace, Pei Yao learned about this. After reading the book, he went to Xianfu Palace.

The so-called acting is a complete set.

In Fengxuan Palace, the queen listened to the news, and after a moment of silence, she said in a deep voice.

"It's been so long since the limelight has passed. Let's continue to use the things from the past."
