The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Qi Hou returned to the front and was very unhappy.

He knows the Tan family very well: he has no city in his heart, he is gentle and affectionate, he is kind-hearted, he takes the overall situation into consideration, he behaves in a measured way, and he never goes beyond the rules...

It was the first time in my memory that he was so rude and malicious as he was today.

Is it because she has a deep prejudice against Mr. Wen, or is Mr. Wen really going too far?
Thinking back on every detail of so many years, I fell into deep thought.

Although Qi Wu didn't accompany him to the East Palace, he still went around in a circle after finishing his work. As a result, Wen Yu really didn't come back.

So, I waited for a while by the car outside the door. Anyway, with Li Jiang here, I wouldn't be bored.

And that Hu Fei had already hid aside.

Wen Yu came out and sent Yan Zhu home first, and then the young couple also went home.

As soon as I entered the second door, someone was waiting, smiling and saluting: "Fifth Master, Fifth Grandma, Mr. Marquis invites you."

It was common for the Marquis to find Qi Wu, and this was the first time he asked Wen Yu to come over.

When the old Marquis saw the young couple entering the door, Qi Wu actually gave Wen Yu a hand!
Okay... He picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"grandfather."

"Yeah. Are you back? Everyone, please sit down!"

As soon as his butt touched the stool, "Mr. Wen, did you go to the East Palace today?" the Marquis asked.

"Yes, grandfather." Wen Yu secretly guessed why the old man called him here.

"Have you met His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I saw it. I also saw the grandson concubine and the general's concubine."

"Tell your grandfather about this..." He looked like he wanted to know from the beginning.

"Grandpa, the concubine is a good friend of my grandson-in-law. Sometimes, he will ask her to go to the East Palace to talk to her. She also likes the bacon rice dumplings and snacks in the store. She often sends someone to get it, or asks the store to I sent it here for a taste. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Great Grandson occasionally tasted it and liked it very much. So... the grandson's daughter-in-law will occasionally send some food over. But don't worry, Grandpa, everything you bring will be available in the East Palace. Checked by a dedicated person.”

The Marquis did not speak, and Wen Yu could only continue: "I went to see the concubine today. Then, accompanied by the concubine, I went to the study of His Highness the Prince. His Highness asked the grandson's daughter-in-law about the situation of the shop. The granddaughter-in-law said: Now the shop is He is already a big tax payer. I sincerely ask His Highness the Crown Prince to reward him at the end of the year." She smiled brightly.

The Marquis raised his eyebrows. This mode of getting along with him surprised him a little.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his subordinates to note it down and said he would report it to the Emperor."

The Marquis nodded: "Although the words are a little casual, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't blame him, so that's fine. However, my grandfather feels inappropriate about those foods. You must know that His Highness's taboos are not just those that are commonly known. He is weak. , I have never eaten or used it before, and I can’t try it easily.

Although you said that someone from the East Palace will check, it is related to the safety of the prince, and no one can bear any consequences. So, don’t do this in the future. But you can discuss the specific operation with your concubine. "

"What my grandfather said is true. My granddaughter-in-law will consider it carefully and find an appropriate way to deal with this matter. When the time comes, she will report it to my grandfather."

"Yes." Mr. Hou was quite satisfied with Wen Yu's attitude. He then asked: "Who is that person named Yan Zhu?!"

"Yan Zhu is the daughter-in-law's companion since she was a child. Her mother has a certain relationship with her mother. She is also the goddaughter of grandson-in-law's uncle. She also met and had a good relationship with the general's concubine. Therefore, when entering the palace, , will ask my granddaughter-in-law to take her with her."

The Marquis said nothing.

Wen Yu added: "Yan Zhu is a beautiful girl with good conduct, kindness and a simple mind."

The Marquis's expression did not change, but he was thinking to himself: How come these words seem to mean something...

Thinking of Tan's meaning just now, my heart felt a little heavy.

"She has been by my grandson-in-law's side for so many years... we can be said to have grown up dependent on each other. Now, some of the dishes in the store are made by her.

She is very talented in cooking. Embroidery and other work are also recognized by the masters in the shop. It can be said that he is self-taught without a teacher! But maybe it's too clever in some areas...and a bit clumsy in others. He even often gets silly!
She often didn't know how to misinterpret what His Highness the Crown Prince said. Therefore, he often made His Highness laugh.

Grandfather, as the crown prince, the prince cannot eat anything he wants in the world! ? If she really likes Yan Zhu's cooking, it would be Yan Zhu's honor to let her work as a cook in the palace for a few years to serve His Highness. When you have free time, ask her to come over, make some food, talk and laugh... Maybe it is: as wise as a prince, there are too many smart people around, too many intrigues, malicious intentions, and people who dig holes and set traps step by step. Therefore, what he values ​​more is simplicity and simplicity..."

Mr. Hou's heart was pounding. He felt that she seemed to be referring to "someone", but he had no evidence...

Hearing this made him quite angry, but also extremely depressed.

……

Li Qihuan settled the prince and gave instructions to the eunuch before returning to the concubine's room. "Father, have you gone to bed?" Jiang Pingting was gentler to him than before.

"He went to sleep. He said he felt much better!"

"Today, my father drank a big bowl of spicy soup, and then he broke out in a sweat. He said that his nose was clear and his body felt loose! Let's get out quickly and let Daban take care of us."

"It's much more comfortable to sweat like this than to drink medicine. I'm really tired today..."

He frowned.

She stood up behind him and rubbed Pingting's neck. "Would you like to take a hot bath?"

Taisun hummed softly.

"I haven't seen you, are you busy at the front?" Jiang Pingting asked the people around her to prepare hot water, and then came back to press the hot water.

"Yes. She and Dong Zhanshi and a few others are busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. Originally, it was my father who took the lead... I have so many things on my hands that I can't take care of them at the moment."

"Then to what extent they have achieved it, will the empress or Dong Zhanshi report the progress to the prince, or to you?"

The grandson frowned and said, "My mother and I both said not to disturb my father yet. He is just catching a cold now. If it develops, he may be aroused. Mr. Dong Zhan is quite capable, but in my impression, he really didn't report it to me." What's going on..."

"Your Highness, I should not interfere in these matters, but..."

"Say it!"

"You mentioned Dong Zhanshi to me twice. He is an official of the East Palace and should be responsible to His Highness the Crown Prince and to you.

The father was in poor health, so the empress did a lot of things for him, but no matter how much she did, it was just a supplement... Let's not mention the empress's thoughts. But Dong James' approach is a bit strange. Which subordinate official is not aiming to accompany him to become an important minister in the court one day?
Therefore, he helped the empress, and the more he did, the better. Is there really going to be a day when the empress can put her hand into Jinluan and seek a future for him? If he couldn't do it...then why was he willing to help? "

Taisun listened with a serious expression.

……

The young couple returned to their room, and Xiao Ji came over: "The Fourth Grandma is here to say Ruyi..."

After listening to Wen Yu, it turned out that it was the old woman who was instigating the trouble again. She really wasn't short-changed at all!
"Wulang, grandfather wants to give the title to Qi Youduan, right?!"

To the third uncle, just name him! Qi Wu, who had just changed his clothes, smiled and sat next to her: "That must be the intention! Otherwise, there has been no heir apparent for so many years..."

"Can the emperor agree?"

"In this regard, according to national laws and family rules, the rules are for the legitimate eldest son. However, under normal circumstances, it is based on the rule that if there is a legitimate son in the family, it cannot be given to the concubine. In other matters, the court does not interfere much. My grandfather, in front of the emperor, It’s also a bit thin. If there are no accidents, I should leave it alone.”

"Since the emperor doesn't care, let's mention it openly. Are you afraid of hurting the eldest son's face?"

"That's not clear."

"what are you thinking?"

"I don't want to get involved with this family's things. Speaking of which, marrying you really cost the Qi family some money. My previous expenses..." He didn't know what he thought of and stopped.

"You don't want to get involved, and neither does the eldest master? It's obviously his thing, but he wants to give it to his stepmother's younger brother! In the future, will he have the nerve to come out of this house? People won't ask: Qi Youyi, what have you committed? That’s wrong, why didn’t the Qi family pass on the title to you?”

Wen Yu shook her thin neck and acted vividly.

Qi Wu's love was so powerful that he pulled her into laughter.

"Tell me, how did he respond at that time? There is also his mother-in-law who is more like a mother-in-law. She keeps saying that she loves her. But when it comes to the knot, I want to see how she loves her."

"Ayu, don't worry about these unhappy people, I will take good care of you!"

"You've been talking a lot of sweet words recently!" Wen Yu looked at him and smiled.

Qi Wu blushed.

"I have a lot of money, so I don't need you... Hey, hurry up and get me a royal decree! I even knelt down when I saw the grandson in the East Palace today! Really... my skirt was dirty and my knees hurt. "

"Where does it hurt? I'll rub it for you, husband..." Now Qi Wu opened his mouth and came.

"Oh...it's not there! It's not here either...you..."
