Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 180 Double Ninth Festival (Part [-])
The empress dowager's old face sank again and again, "Emperor, you are becoming more and more outspoken."

Emperor Yonglong stood up without changing his expression, "I have been reviewing the memorials all morning, my son is very tired, if the mother has nothing else to do, please go ahead, my son will go back to the dormitory for a lunch break."

It's rare to come here, the Queen Mother will naturally not leave here, and she has to find something to do before she is willing to give up.

"Aijia heard that you grounded King Jin some time ago, why?"

He Lianjin's remarks that day were indeed excessive, but Emperor Yonglong was sure that no one would dare to reveal the matter, so he calmly said: "The second child said something wrong, and my minister punished him by confinement in Lingquan Palace to think about his mistakes. "

The queen mother snorted coldly, "Isn't it rare for the king of Jin to say the wrong thing and make Longyan furious? If the emperor is reluctant to punish him, he might as well hand it over to the Ai family, and the Ai family promises to subdue him once."

Emperor Yonglong said: "It's just a wrong word, it won't be so serious, it's enough to restrain your feet and think about your mistakes. Besides, Erchen is still alive, and Erchen's son made a mistake, so there is no reason for the empress to worry about it." ?”

Listen, these words are all about defending He Lianjin's unfilial son. To the point of going to jail.

The empress dowager said sternly, "Emperor, don't you think that you are too lenient to King Jin?"

Of course Emperor Yonglong knew why the Empress Dowager said these things. She came here because of Concubine Xiao, but after she came, she found that Concubine Xiao was making trouble for no reason, and she was frustrated by Emperor Yonglong's remarks just now, so she had to find an excuse Only by letting off steam can you balance your heart, and the best topic to cut into is the least worrying King Jin.

Ever since Luo Lan was appointed as empress, the Empress Dowager has been making things difficult for a day or two. Emperor Yonglong didn't care, "Jin Wang just made a few mistakes, and didn't commit any murders. I can't let people put me down immediately." Was he arrested and put in jail?"

The queen mother said bitterly: "There are no children who are always rebellious, only parents who don't care about their hearts. As the saying goes, like a mother, like a son, King Jin can develop his temperament today, and he doesn't care about his seemingly dignified and virtuous. His biological mother cannot get rid of the relationship, if the emperor doesn't want to find a way to deal with it, King Jin's rat shit will really lose the royal family's face."

Sure enough, after all the talk, it still had to go around the queen.

As a queen mother, if she doesn't look forward to Lan'er's death, she won't be reconciled to it!
Emperor Yonglong smiled instead of anger, "The empress mother is very true, like a mother, like a daughter, my son recently heard that Princess Yongping bought a spacious and secluded house outside, and there are countless beautiful men in the house, and Princess Yongping herself , often go to the mansion to have fun behind Wei's back, this kind of dirty behavior that insults my royal style should be dealt with properly."

The implication is that you can't even wipe off Concubine Xiao's ass, so what's the point of pointing fingers at the queen all day long?
Glancing at Empress Dowager Xiao's stiff and ugly face, Emperor Yonglong said in a consulting tone: "Since the empress mother is here, why don't you come up with an idea, how should I deal with this matter so that it can be considered a good cure?"

The Empress Dowager had also heard about Princess Yongping He Lianzhu raising her noodle head, but at the time she thought it was just outsiders gossiping, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Although Concubine Xiao Huanggui is her niece, she is no different from her daughter due to her degree of preference. Just now, the sentence "Like a mother, like a son" just slapped me hard in the face.

It was because of a "mother" like her that she taught a "daughter" like Concubine Xiao who ignored the face of the royal family and allowed her daughter to raise her face.

Others don't know, maybe they thought that He Lianzhu's face raising was acquiesced by her, the once empress dowager.

Her complexion became more and more ugly, and Empress Dowager Xiao felt a little bit unstoppable.

Emperor Yonglong looked calm.

In fact, as a son, he had no intention and did not want to compete with his biological mother like this, but there was Xiao Mingxi between mother and son. By the way, putting that guilt on Xiao Shi will only fuel Xiao Shi's arrogance.

It is true that he favors the empress, but he is not so stupid that he is obsessed with beauty and ignores the government. If the empress really made a big mistake, he will still deal with it according to the law.

As for the second son, who has been a headache for him for many years, it's worth not mentioning it.

Emperor Yonglong was so aggressive, even if the queen mother wanted to find a step down for herself, she couldn't do it, but if there was no step down, it was impossible to stand still, she snorted coldly, "Aijia is just a casual mention, the emperor, are you The king of a country, whoever he wants to deal with, and how to deal with it, he can do what he sees, without having to ask Aijia."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his wide sleeves and walked away. When he went outside, he saw Concubine Xiao Huanggui, and his eyes showed a bit of indisputable annoyance.

Concubine Xiao Huang didn't know what she did wrong to offend the Empress Dowager, she was puzzled, "Empress Dowager?"

The queen mother glanced at her, "You are quite capable."

Concubine Xiao Huang became more and more puzzled, "I am afraid, and I hope the Queen Mother will enlighten me."

How could the Empress Dowager embarrass Concubine Xiao by telling about He Lianzhu in public, and left after taking a deep look at her.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xiao knew very well about He Lianzhu's matter. The reason why Emperor Yonglong brought it up was to threaten her. If he was more tolerant to Empress Luo in the future, then he would turn a blind eye to it. Up until the end, it will only hurt the face of the entire royal family, but if she still picks her nose and eyes at Queen Luo, then he doesn't mind breaking the jar, and let the world see how good the Queen Mother has taught her. niece.

"Has the Queen Mother gone away?" In the imperial study, Emperor Yonglong rubbed his forehead.

Eunuch Zhang nodded, "Go back to the emperor, the Empress Dowager has already gone back to the Palace of Compassion."

"Let's go too." Emperor Yonglong ordered, and then walked out of the imperial study.

Seeing him coming out, Concubine Xiao's face immediately showed joy, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yonglong gave her a serious look, "What else do you have?"

Concubine Xiao Huanggui said: "I don't ask the emperor to forgive me, but the emperor can agree to let me go to the imperial prison to see Yu'er."

The queen mother's reaction made her reflect on herself as quickly as possible, and then she realized that she was too impatient, and she shouldn't have come to plead at this moment, so she immediately changed her words.

Xiao took the initiative to take a step back, and Emperor Yonglong didn't intend to continue pestering him.

"It's up to you." Putting down three words, he led the person back to the dormitory.

That night, Imperial Concubine Xiao went to Jin Yiwei's imperial prison alone, and met He Lianyu.

He was locked inside for a few days, and although he was not tortured, He Lianyu looked rather haggard, and his bones were broken.

Seeing Concubine Xiao Huanggui, he was a little surprised, "Why is Mother Concubine here?"

Concubine Xiao Huang had tears in her eyes, "Yu'er, concubine mother is helpless, there is no way to ask the emperor to forgive you."

When He Lianyu heard this, his expression changed immediately, "Mother Concubine has gone to beg Father?"

Concubine Xiao Huang nodded.

He Lianyu secretly scolded a fool in his heart.

In the prison for the past few days, he sorted out the whole thing back and forth, and he was even more convinced that since he went south to relieve the disaster, someone had planned for him along the way, and that he could be imprisoned in Jinyiwei's imperial prison was also the ultimate goal of the other party. , and before the disaster situation in the south stabilizes, the most taboo thing is to intercede with the emperor, because in this way, not only will he not be able to exonerate him, but it will also leave the impression that the emperor and the officials are looking for faults. Seriously, because of this intercession, the crime was made bigger and bigger.

He Lianyu looked at Concubine Xiao Huanggui, thinking that this woman had never cared about his life and death before, why was she so active in interceding for him this time?

Could it be that there is also He Lianjin's eyeliner beside Concubine Xiao, was it He Lianjin's trick?
He Lianyu's speculation was correct, it was indeed He Lianjin who placed the female officer next to Concubine Xiao Huanggui to persuade Concubine Xiao to go to Emperor Yonglong to intercede.

If you don't intercede, then after a period of time when the disaster situation in the south stabilizes, Emperor Yonglong may retry the case and send He Lianyu a lighter sentence, but the assist by the imperial concubine Xiao made He Lianyu's image in Emperor Yonglong's heart even worse it is good.

"Yu'er?" Seeing that He Lianyu's face was livid, Royal Concubine Xiao hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell, I will send for the imperial physician right away."

He Lianyu closed his eyes, hiding the hostility in his eyes, "Thank you, mother and concubine, for your concern, my son is fine."

Many things, if you talk to Concubine Xiao Huanggui, it will cause side effects. He Lianyu can only be bored in his heart. Concubine Xiao Huanggui is a quick-tempered person with a pinch of salt. If she knows that He Lianjin has placed eyeliner beside her, wait When she returned to Changxin Palace, she ordered that she couldn't hold back and called the maids one by one to investigate. In this way, she would scare the snake in advance, and she would not know how she died by then.

"Mother and concubine, don't go to the father to intercede on behalf of the son." He Lianyu suddenly said: "If you take the initiative to intercede, not only will you not be forgiven by the father, but it will aggravate the crime of the son."

Concubine Xiao's face showed anxiety, "Then do you have a way to get your father to release you as soon as possible?"

"Wait." He Lianyu only answered one word.

"Wait?" Concubine Xiao Huang was taken aback, "Just do this and wait for nothing?"

"Well." He Lianyu said: "This time, it was because of my son's carelessness that he was calculated by others. The other party's purpose is naturally to hope that I will ask my mother and concubine to go to the father to intercede in front of the emperor when I am disheartened. First of all, it will definitely make Father Huang Longyan furious. So the more this happens, the more we have to calm down, pretend that nothing happened, and not let the opponent succeed. It's just a few days in prison, To my son, this is nothing difficult."

Hearing what He Lianyu said, Imperial Concubine Xiao couldn't help but think of Empress Luo.

When He Lianjin was grounded in Lingquan Palace because he offended Long Yan, Empress Luo was like a normal person, she never went to Emperor Yonglong to intercede. Concubine Xiao Huang always thought that Empress Luo relied on the emperor's special favor, So I'm sure that He Lianjin will be fine.Now that I think about it, it's not that Empress Luo just knows Emperor Yonglong too well, knowing that the result of pleading will only make her son worse, so she pretends not to know anything, even if she meets Emperor Yonglong, she doesn't mention anything about He Lianjin , still greeted with a smile.

At this moment, Concubine Xiao deeply reflected that her understanding of the emperor was not as good as that of Empress Luo, no wonder she was often displeased by the emperor.

It seems that the Empress Dowager is right. Empress Luo only looks pure and harmless on the surface, but is actually a scheming femme fatale. Otherwise, no woman can win the emperor's favor for decades. If you just look at that face, you will already be bored up.Empress Luo was able to retain the emperor's heart, except for that face, it was more by means.

The crazily growing jealousy distorted Concubine Xiao's face, she said with a sullen face, "Don't worry, Yu'er, the mother concubine will always find a way to get you out safely."

He Lianyu was a little worried, and reminded again, "The concubine mother must never go to the emperor to intercede."

"I know." Concubine Xiao Huanggui nodded, "Besides begging for mercy, there are thousands of ways, and there is always one that will let you out."

-

In the afternoon of this day, Emperor Yonglong came to Weiyang Palace, and Empress Luo led Weiyang Palace up and down to greet him.

Seeing her, Emperor Yonglong's originally stern eyebrows softened instantly, but due to the presence of the palace servants, it was difficult to call her by her nickname, "The empress does not need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Luo got up and saw that Emperor Yonglong's brows were a little tired, and asked with concern: "Thinking about it, there is another problem in government affairs. Why don't you take a lunch break in my bedroom, my concubine recently consulted Fan The Imperial Physician, put medicinal materials that can help sleep and relieve fatigue in the embroidered pillow, I have tried it myself, and the effect is good."

Such unwavering concern would make any man's heart flutter, let alone Emperor Yonglong, who had just nestled with the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao two days ago.

Empress Luo has such a charm that she can make all the unhappiness in Emperor Yonglong's heart dissipate invisible.

"Lan'er, you have a heart." Emperor Yonglong's eyes became more gentle, and he walked over to hold her hand.

Empress Luo smiled lightly, "This concubine is the emperor's first wife, so doing these things for you is what I should do. What's more, compared to the government affairs that the emperor has to deal with every day, being a medicine pillow is nothing at all."

Emperor Yonglong followed her to the sleeping hall, and after retreating a group of servants, he lay down on the phoenix couch with his clothes on, and embraced Empress Luo in his arms.

Empress Luo snuggled into his arms obediently, seeing that Emperor Yonglong had something on his mind, she was not in a hurry to ask, after so many years of husband and wife, she knew him well, if she wanted to speak, he would speak up.

Emperor Yonglong suddenly sighed softly, "Since Lan'er entered the palace, she has been targeted by the Queen Mother. For this, have you ever blamed me?"

Empress Luo paused, "Does the emperor want to listen to my concubine's heart?"

"nature."

"I have complained." Empress Luo gently traced the lines on the brocade mattress with her fingertips, and said slowly: "In the few years when I first entered the palace, the Queen Mother repeatedly picked the thorns on my concubine's body. No matter what I did or how I did it, she always I can find out the dissatisfaction and criticize at will. At that time, I was young, and I dared not say it, but I was complaining in my heart. Didn’t the emperor say that he would love me for the rest of my life? Why did I have to be with my mother-in-law every day? In an incompatible relationship?
Later, when I became a mother and my heart gradually matured, I realized that it was not because I did something wrong, but because I was not the queen mother's niece.

Indeed, I am not the Empress Dowager's niece, nor can I become her niece, but I am the emperor's first wife, and following the emperor is a matter of a lifetime, even if the queen mother doesn't like the concubine, I still have to live on as usual, concubine Still have to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace every morning and evening.Because no matter how bad she is, she is also your biological mother, the emperor, your concubine's mother-in-law!The emperor is a son and a husband at the same time, it must be very embarrassing to be caught in the middle, so the concubine thought that no matter what the queen mother said, she would not talk back to her, so as not to embarrass the emperor.

The concubine did blame the emperor at first, but now, the concubine only feels grateful, because of me, you and your biological mother have had a deadlocked relationship for 20 years.As long as you listen to the queen mother's words and say to alienate me, your relationship with her will never be what it is now, but the emperor has always remembered the promise of the year, and has never spoken ill to the concubine because of the queen mother, even if it is you I am so busy with government affairs, when I see my concubine, I will always put those things aside and face each other with a smile. As an emperor, you are supposed to be high above me, the ninety-five-year-old, but why do you do this for my concubine.Therefore, apart from being grateful, I don't know what else to use to describe my mood. "

These words directly touched the heartstrings of Emperor Yonglong.

Because Empress Luo is not from the perspective of the mother of a country, but from the perspective of a wife and daughter-in-law to express her thoughts over the years. If she said from the beginning that she had never complained to him, she would do everything voluntarily. This type of words, he must feel false.No one's patience has no bottom line. Emperor Yonglong himself knew how much the Empress Dowager had gone too far in those years, so it is completely understandable for the Empress to say such words.

"Lan'er, I really saw you right." Emperor Yonglong kissed her forehead, "I have been on the throne for more than 20 years, and there are more and more concubines in the harem. They may be young and beautiful, or they may be gentle and understanding, but No one can be like my Lan'er, who has kept her heart unchanged for [-] years, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, modesty and prudence."

Empress Luo smiled, "It's only because that person is the emperor that my concubine will treat you like a day for more than [-] years. If you change someone else, it's not necessarily so."

Emperor Yonglong nodded.

Empress Luo said: "I heard from the palace people that the emperor stayed in the imperial study for the whole morning, and even had lunch in the imperial study. With such a busy government affairs, he must have been exhausted long ago. The concubine will not bother the emperor. You Rest well, and when the time comes, I will wake you up by myself."

After finishing speaking, Empress Luo wanted to get up and stay on the bed.

Emperor Yonglong grabbed her wrist, "Lan'er hasn't been with me for a while, today, let's take a lunch break with me!"

Empress Luo paused when she stayed in the bed.

Emperor Yonglong took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms again.

Empress Luo didn't struggle either, she quietly pressed against his chest and breathed lightly, counting his heartbeat.

Thinking about being extremely tired, Emperor Yonglong soon let out the sound of even breathing.

Empress Luo slightly moved her head, and happened to be able to see his side face, the weather-beaten fine lines at the corners of her eyes made her feel distressed.

Stretching out her hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, she sighed softly, continued to cling to his arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

-

He Lianjin, who was restrained by Emperor Yonglong for more than half a month, was finally "forced" to do the homework assigned by Mr. Shang Shufang, and because of this, he was relieved of the restraint, moved out of Lingquan Palace, and lived in the Prince Jin's Mansion outside.

It is said that it was about the emperor's government, and I don't know how the devil in the world got away with it. He wrote an article eloquently, which made Yonglong Emperor smile for the first time.

However, the attention of the officials did not last for a long time, because not long after, the virtuous king He Lianyu was also released from Jin Yiwei's prison, and Emperor Yonglong cut off most of his power, and He Lianyu His hidden piles have been destroyed, and it is difficult to do anything, and now he is equivalent to an idle prince.

He Lianjin is incompetent, He Lianyu has been slashed from power, and now the most proud person is Wei Wang He Lianxun. He has been very active in the court recently. Taking advantage of He Lianyu's loss of power, he vigorously displayed himself in front of Emperor Yonglong, and slowly, his favor in the eyes of all officials gradually increased.

Finally, the confinement was lifted, and He Lianjin didn't have to go to the Duke's Mansion secretly, because he had lived here for a year before, He Lianjin completely regarded the Duke's Mansion as his own home, and came and went freely.

He drank tea in Su Yan's tea house again today.

Seeing the joy written on his brows, Su Yan asked with a smile, "Has anything good happened to your lord recently? It looks like you're in a good mood."

He Lianjin smiled, "He Lianyu's popularity has plummeted, and now all the officials have turned their attention to Wei Wang He Lianxun, so this king is naturally in a good mood."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, "Does the lord want to wait for these two people to fight?"

"That's exactly what I mean." He Lianjin nodded, leaned back, and lazily put his hands behind his head, "After so many years of being the devil king of the world, he suddenly confronted He Lianyu head-on. Let them fight first, and it will be easier for me to pick up a leak last."

"Then congratulate the prince in advance for his wish to be fulfilled." Su Yan said while picking chrysanthemums in the garden with a small bamboo basket.

He Lianjin glanced at him, "What are you doing with that thing?"

"Brew chrysanthemum wine." Su Yan said: "I didn't have time to make it last year, but this year just happened to be free, so make it and drink it next year."

He Lianjin thought about it, it turned out that the Double Ninth Festival was approaching.

"It seems that you have even planned how to spend the Double Ninth Festival?"

Su Yan said: "Wei Wei said that this year's Double Ninth Festival wants to go out to enjoy the autumn, why, the prince is also interested?"

He Lianjin said: "My king's interest naturally comes from someone. If she goes, I will go. If she doesn't go, then it's meaningless for me to go alone."

This is the so-called "thousands of scenery are less than one person", right?
Su Yan actually understood it quite well, so he just smiled lightly, he didn't force He Lianjin to go or not.

-

On the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September, Yun Chuwei was going to go out to enjoy the autumn. Of course, she would not go alone, so she invited many people, Xu Han and Xu Mao, two brothers and sisters, He Lian Shuang and Wu Yong, and even Dongyang Houfu. On the other hand, Yun Chuwei also handed out posts to all the cousins. As for whether to go or not, it doesn't matter, as long as she feels like it.

But when it comes to Dongyang Marquis Mansion, there is a person who is troublesome, Yun Chuwei thought about it, and decided to go there in person.

Dongyang Hou's Mansion is busier than the Duke's Mansion these days, busy brewing chrysanthemum wine to make Chongyang cakes. The chrysanthemum wine brewed last year has been brought out. Naturally, some must be brewed and stored in the cellar this year, otherwise there will be no drinking next year.Although it can be bought outside, Fan is used to doing it by himself.

When Yun Chuwei came, Fan was leading people to pick chrysanthemums in the garden.

"Mother, are you busy?" Yun Chu greeted with a smile.

When Fan heard the voice, she was overjoyed, and turned her head, "Wei girl, why are you here?"

"I have nothing to do, come and drop by." Yun Chuwei said while sitting down on the stone bench, picked up a freshly picked chrysanthemum from the bamboo basket beside it, sniffed it, and then said with satisfaction: "This year The chrysanthemums bloomed better than last year."

"Actually, the flowers are still the same flowers." Fan said: "People are also people from last year, but their mood is not the same as last year. The mood of viewing flowers is different, and the smell you smell is naturally different."

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, this is a good point, the perception of the same thing is different under different moods.

"Mom, have you received my post?"

"Yes, I got it." Fan nodded, "I asked your sister-in-law, and she said she wanted to play with you."

Yun Chuwei hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law can't see, what if something happens when I go?" Last year, when a group of people went to the temple fair, Huang Miaoyu was blinded by Yi Bai, Yun Chuwei still remembers it vividly, she doesn't want to This year's Double Ninth Festival has some surprises, otherwise the Huang family should really kill them.

Fan was also very helpless, "It's not that I haven't persuaded her, but she has to listen. I'm getting more and more confused about what she's thinking now."

Yun Chu lowered his voice slightly, and asked again: "Did brother write to her?"

"Instead, there was a letter." Fan said, "Your brother said that he will be back in the middle of next month."

"So early? Didn't you say you won't be back until the New Year?"

"At first I thought so too, but he explained in his letter that it was his first year to go to Northern Xinjiang, and your father was behind him, so he could come back earlier this year."

"So, sister-in-law wants to go out with us because she knows that brother will be back next month?" Yun Chu asked slightly.

"Perhaps, she should want to go out to relax and relax. This is what your grandfather often told her to tell her not to be bored in the house all day, and to be careful if she gets sick, and to go out for a walk more often."

In her heart, Yun Chuwei didn't want to take Huang Miaoyu with her. She always felt that this woman was a smart woman, and she would only give up if she made a fuss no matter what she did, but she couldn't refuse her strong request to go with her. Bar?Otherwise, it is estimated that I will cry, make trouble and hang myself in a while.
