Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 176 Extra Story [-]: Xiao Lie's Chapter (Must Read the Extra Topic)

Daliang Shengjing
After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up. In the Fushou Palace, the Empress Dowager only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath for the past few days.

The Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager Rong came to Fushou Palace early in the morning to pay their respects, and brought out Aunt Ruyi's breakfast as it was.

The Empress Dowager Rong said worriedly, "Does the Empress Dowager have no appetite?"

Aunt Ruyi invited Ann, and said, "Yes, it happens that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are here, please persuade the Empress Dowager to eat something."

The Supreme Emperor frowned and said, "What the hell is going on? Is there nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

Aunt Ruyi sighed and shook her head.

Empress Dowager Rong brought out the bird's nest porridge on the tray, and said, "Go down, Your Majesty is here, Empress Dowager should be able to listen."

"Yes, Aunt Ruyi brought people down."

The Queen Mother and the two entered the inner hall with porridge.

The Empress Dowager Xiao was wearing a maroon satin palace dress with blessings and longevity, leaning halfway on the low couch, closing her eyes and resting her mind, when she heard the sound of the bead curtain, she said in displeasure, "The Ai family said not to eat, so there is no need to persuade!"

"Mother!"

The Supreme Emperor yelled, and the Empress Dowager Xiao opened her eyes, saw it was the two of them, sat up and laughed, "So it's you!"

The Empress Dowager Rong stepped forward, sat on the mahogany round stool, and said softly, "As my aunt said, the Empress Dowager didn't have breakfast, how can I do this?"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the bird's nest porridge in her hand, and sighed, "The Ai family really has no appetite, I can't eat it."

"Otherwise, another imperial doctor will come to the queen mother for diagnosis and treatment." The Supreme Emperor said.

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head, "Ai's body is clear to me, it cannot be cured by medicine and stones, so you don't have to worry about it!"

After hearing the words, Empress Dowager Rong and the Supreme Emperor looked at each other, knowing that Empress Dowager Xiao had something to say, she put down the porridge bowl, beat Empress Xiao's leg, and said, "If the Empress Dowager is on your mind, please talk to my concubine!"

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed deeply, "Lie'er has been on the throne for three years, and there are no queens or concubines in the harem. The Ai family is worried about Daliang's successors!"

That's it!

The Empress Dowager Rong paused for beating her legs, and said with downcast eyes, "It's my concubine's fault!"

The Supreme Emperor's face darkened a bit, "I'm also at fault for this matter!"

"No, it's the concubine's fault! Back then, I should have tried everything possible to keep Su Jiu, and Lie'er wouldn't be so persistent in suffering." The Empress Dowager Rong's eyes were filled with pain.

The Supreme Emperor stood up and patted the Empress Dowager Rong on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't blame yourself, the marriage is God's will, you can't force it, that girl Jiu'er is already married, and Lie'er is destined to have no fate!"

"Blindly obsessed with the past, isn't Lie'er going to marry a queen in this life? You two are confused!" Empress Xiao said angrily.

"The empress dowager calm down!"

"Queen mother calm down!"

The Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor said in unison.

"The empress dowager didn't know something. The concubine showed the portraits of women from some clans to the emperor several times, and also deliberately arranged some flower feasts to let those women enter the palace, but the emperor didn't let go or be tempted. The concubine really It's helpless!" The Empress Dowager Rong bowed her head.

The Supreme Emperor served tea and said with a low smile, "I didn't expect Lie'er to be so infatuated."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager Rong raised her eyes and glanced at the man.

Empress Dowager Xiao reprimanded, "You still have the heart to tease here, so hurry up and think of a way!"

The Supreme Emperor put down the teacup, frowning as if trying hard to think.

Empress Dowager Xiao said to Empress Dowager Rong, "There is a portrait of a woman in your palace, take it and let Aijia see it!"

"Yes! The concubine will go right away!" The Empress Dowager Rong got up and went back to the palace to pick up the portrait in person.

Soon, Empress Dowager Rong took out the portrait and handed it to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at them one by one, picked out the three most pleasing to the eye, and said, "This is Zhang Taifu's granddaughter, and this is a lady from Lu Shangshu's family. Who is this girl?"

The Empress Dowager Rong stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the woman in the portrait was dressed more refreshingly than others, with an oval face, autumn eyes and cherry lips, it could not be said to be stunning, but it made people look very comfortable.

"This is the daughter of Ye Zhong, the third rank Taichangqing newly transferred to Beijing. Ye Chu was in Zhuozhou before. I heard that she was weak and sick when she was young. She was raised as a man in the temple before returning home when she was ten years old."

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, "The Ai family thinks that these three people are all good, why don't they all be recruited into the palace, and given titles first, Lie'er will follow if he doesn't!"

The Supreme Emperor frowned and said, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this is not good!"

Empress Dowager Xiao said, "Then what do you think?"

"I understand Lie'er's temperament. If you force him like this, it will make him more resistant. Why don't you let him choose one to enter the palace, maybe it will be better!" the emperor said.

Empress Dowager Xiao thought for a while, and said, "How about this, you send someone to call Lie'er here, and say that Ai's family is seriously ill!"

"This," the Empress Dowager Rong felt uncomfortable.

"If you hesitate any longer, Lie'er will really become a loner!" Empress Dowager Xiao said urgently.

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was really angry, the Supreme Emperor hurriedly said, "My son, I will send someone to call Lie'er, and the queen mother must not be angry!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered the personal servant behind him to find Xiao Lie and come to Fushou Palace.

Xiao Lie was reading the memorial in the imperial study, and when the palace people reported that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, his expression changed, he put down the memorial, and walked quickly to Fushou Palace.

"How is the imperial grandmother?" Xiao Lie asked anxiously with strides.

"Back to the emperor, the empress dowager has not thought about eating and drinking for many days, the imperial doctor is helpless, her health is worrying!" the chief eunuch Liu Yun said worriedly.

Xiao Lie's face was tense, and he quickly stepped into the Fu Harem.

"Emperor's Grandmother!" Xiao Lie called out first as soon as he entered the inner hall, and seeing the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were also there, he hurriedly greeted her again.

"Lie'er, come here!" Empress Dowager Xiao lay on the couch, her voice sounded weak, she stretched out her hand to Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie walked over immediately, knelt down in front of the couch, held her hand, frowned and said, "Emperor Grandmother, what do you think?"

"Grandmother is probably dying!" Empress Dowager Xiao closed her eyes and shook her head.

"No way!" Xiao Lie looked anxious, turned his head and said, "Father, call the imperial physician over immediately!"

Empress Dowager Rong said, "All the imperial doctors have come to see me, the Empress Dowager is suffering from a heart attack."

"Heart disease?" Xiao Lie raised his eyebrows lightly.

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "It's a heart disease, because you refused to accept the queen, and your grandmother was so depressed that her chest was pressed, and she didn't want to eat or drink."

Xiao Lie's long eyes darkened, and he lowered his head lightly.

"Lie'er!" Empress Dowager Xiao held Xiao Lie's hand and said earnestly, "Your marriage is not only your own business, but also concerns the great cause of the country. Do you really want to let the emperor's grandmother die in peace?"

Xiao Lie frowned, "Grandmother will definitely live a long life!"

"Lie'er, the empress dowager is right, you can't be stubborn any longer!" said the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Rong hurriedly took the three portraits that Empress Dowager Xiao picked out just now to Xiao Lie, "These three women are all dignified and virtuous, virtuous and virtuous women, even if you don't bring them all into the palace, at least choose one or two of them. That's fine too."

Xiao Lie didn't even look at those portraits, his handsome face sank slightly, "Mother, why do you force me? When I want to accept a concubine, I will naturally accept it."

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard the words, she immediately gasped for breath, breathing out but not breathing in, as if she was about to pass out.

"Grandma!"

"Mother!"

The three of them shouted anxiously.

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and shook her head in pain, and said with difficulty, "Lie'er, if you don't accept your concubine, you won't have to see Ai's family again!"

"Grandmother," Xiao Lie said with pain in his eyes.

"Lie'er, are you really going to force your grandmother to death?"

"Lie'er, don't be so stubborn!"

"Jiu Yatou is already married. Didn't you say that you have let go, and you also want to forget the past, why don't you give yourself a chance?"

"It's been three years, which emperor's harem has been vacant for three years, what do you make the ministers think?"

……

With the persuasion of the Empress Dowager Rong and the Supreme Emperor, coupled with the anxious expression of the Empress Dowager Xiao, Xiao Lie felt his heart was in a mess, and when he closed his eyes, Jun's face was full of tangles.

"All right!"

Finally, Xiao Lie interrupted the words of the Empress Dowager Rong and the others, and said suddenly, "Okay, my minister chooses my concubine!"

"Is what Lie'er said true?" Empress Dowager Xiao sat up immediately, her excited eyes began to shine.

Xiao Lie smiled wryly, knowing that the emperor's grandmother was deliberately persecuting him, but she had to compromise.

Maybe the queen mother is right, he really should give himself a chance to come out.

Empress Dowager Rong said with a smile, "Lie'er is the emperor, he promises everything he says, so naturally he can't go back on his word."

After finishing speaking, he immediately handed the three portraits to Xiao Lie, "Look, Lie'er, which of these three women do you like?"

Xiao Lie didn't answer, and took the top one casually, "Just this one!"

The portrait on the top is exactly the woman Empress Xiao asked about just now, Ye Chu, the prostitute daughter of the Ye family.

……

Ye's family had been in Shengjing for three months, visited their relatives in the capital, and had just stabilized.

The mistress of the Ye family was surnamed Du, she was from Zhuozhou, she was jealous by nature, so Ye Zhong never married a concubine in his whole life, and only had two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter Ye Chu and the second daughter Ye Mei were both born of Du's family.

Ye Zhong was a clean and honest official who knew people and made good use of them. He was always fair and honest as the prefect of Zhuozhou, and was deeply loved by the people.

The only thing that has been criticized in his life is that he is afraid of his wife.

Du Shi is also a daughter of a famous family. When she was young, she looked like a fairy, and she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was dignified and virtuous in the eyes of outsiders. .

At the beginning of March, everything wakes up, warblers fly and grass grows

In the evening of that day, Ye Chu came back from the outside with his maid, Sixi, wearing a smoky green light blouse, with satin-like black hair tied to one temple on the top of his head, and the rest scattered behind him, with an oval face, peach-blossom eyes, Qiong Nose and cherry mouth, slender body, gentle temperament, like the misty rain in March, gentle and gentle, full of Jiangnan flavor.

As the saying goes, people are not judged by their appearance. Ye Chu has a gentle appearance, just like her mother, but her personality is very much like her father who was born in the north.

The master and servant entered the inner courtyard, and as soon as they turned around the corridor, they saw their mother and younger sister Ye Mei walking slowly.

Ye Mei first smiled and said, "Elder Sister is going out again?"

Ye Mei looks more like his father Ye Zhong, not as charming and handsome as Ye Chu, but his personality is gentler.

Mrs. Du swept Ye Chu's dusty shoes, and said displeasedly, "As a boudoir girl, you should stay out of the door, why are you wandering around again? You are still the elder sister, you should give Mei You have to be a good example!"

Sixi hurriedly said, "Ma'am, I misunderstood. The eldest lady heard that the second lady's powder was used up yesterday, and she was afraid that the second lady who bought it would be unsatisfactory, so she went out to buy it herself!"

After finishing speaking, he took out the powder box from the basket, and handed a box to Du Shi first, "Miss also bought it for Madam, this is from Yuyifang in the city, and it is the best in the capital."

Ye Mei also took the powder box and said with a smile, "Thank you, Eldest Sister!"

Ye Chu pursed his lips and smiled at her.

Only then did Du's face soften a little, and he said, "Even so, a young lady can't step on her shoes so dirty, and she won't go back to her room to change them!"

Ye Chu lowered his eyes and nodded obediently, "Yes, my daughter knows!"

Mrs. Du turned her head to look at Ye Mei, her gaze became more gentle immediately, and she said with a smile, "A makeup fan seems to make you happy, your father is about to go down, let's go to the kitchen to see what we made for dinner today, do you like it?" of?"

Although both Ye Chu and Ye Mei were born of Du Shi, a bowl of water can never be leveled, and the palms and backs of hands are also thick, so Du Shi prefers the youngest daughter Ye Mei.

Ye Mei was two years younger than Ye Chu and had just reached the age of Ji this year. When Ye Chu was sent to the temple, Ye Mei was just born. For the next ten years, Du Shi grew up guarding Ye Mei. When she returned home at the age of [-], Du Shi did not feel pity for her eldest daughter because of her loneliness in the temple, but became closer to Ye Mei who had been growing up by her side.

While talking, Du Shi took Ye Mei to the direction of the kitchen.

Ye Chu also walked to his yard.

After entering the room, Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief, lay on his back on the low couch, and said to Sixi, "We have already visited this capital city, and we will go out of the city if we play again!"

Sixi sat on the low couch and pinched Ye Chu's legs, and said lazily, "Master, you haven't gone to the palace yet!"

Ye Chu pursed his lips and thought for a while, "When my father enters the palace, I will sneak away with him!"

Sixi just said casually, and heard that Ye Chuzhen was going, sighed, "Miss, don't just think about playing, you see that the second lady is by Madam's side every day, and she is very fond of her, you can learn from the second lady!"

Ye Chu wrapped his fingers around the braids on his chest, lowered his eyebrows and said innocently, "Even if I don't leave my mother all day, she won't like me as much as she likes my little sister, but will annoy her instead."

Sixi frowned and sighed, "Fortunately, Master still loves you!"

The master and servant were chatting for two days, when the door was knocked, a servant girl came in and said respectfully, "Miss, the master is back, let you go to the front yard."

Ye Chu raised his head, "What are you doing in the front yard?"

"I heard that there is an imperial decree, and all the family members are required to receive the decree!"

Ye Chu was unhappy, and muttered, "It must be some kind of reward from the palace. The royal family is really troublesome. You can reward it, but they have to kneel for a long time to be grateful."

"Miss, don't dare to talk nonsense, hurry up!" Sixi took another pair of clean embroidered shoes and put them on for Ye Chu.

Ye Chu was the last to arrive, Master Ye, Shi Du, and Ye Mei were already waiting there.

Seeing Ye Chu dawdling and dazed, Du felt annoyed, glanced at her, and shouted, "Hurry up!"

It was Eunuch Fu who delivered the decree, and when he saw Ye Chu coming, he laughed and said, "Miss is here, the miscellaneous family wants rice paper!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ye Zhong knelt down with his wife and daughter.

"Following heaven's destiny, the emperor ordered that Ye Chu, the eldest daughter of Taichangqing Ye Zhong, is intelligent, quick-witted, diligent and docile, and has both internal and external advantages. She is specially conferred the title of Concubine Virtue, and she will enter the palace on a certain day. Hereby!"

As soon as Fu Gonggong's characteristic high-pitched and long-pitched voice fell, Ye Zhong and Du Shi raised their heads suddenly, with surprise on their faces, and hurriedly knelt down to thank them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, my lord Ron!"

At this moment, Ye Zhong suddenly remembered that when Ye Chu was going down the mountain, he met an old monk on the way, looking at the ten-year-old Ye Chudao,

"This girl was born with a phoenix bone. In the future, she will be the mother of the world and become rich and powerful. Please benefactor to cultivate her well."

At that time, he thought that the monk was talking nonsense and didn't take it to heart, and he had forgotten about it for so many years, but he suddenly remembered it today.

Ye Chu didn't think about it, and was still kneeling there, when Sixi suddenly pulled his arm down, "Miss, thank you!"

Only then did Ye Chu realize, Concubine Feng?
She was favored by the emperor and was about to enter the palace?
Eunuch Fu handed over the imperial decree to Ye Zhong, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mrs. Ye, congratulations to Mrs. Ye, there are so many happy events! Let the eldest lady prepare, and the sedan chair will be sent from the palace in two days to take the eldest lady into the palace for the great gift of concubine concubine !"

"Okay, okay, thank you, father-in-law!" Ye Zhong was overwhelmed with excitement.

He has been in Beijing for three months, and what he heard the most during the court was the ministers talking about the emperor's harem. Some people said that the emperor once fell in love with a commoner girl, and it was because she had never accepted a concubine or married an empress.

Some people also said that the emperor could not forget the former concubine Princess Yulong, so now he is not willing to accept the queen.

Anyway, the matter of this concubine is a heart disease for the ministers. How many ministers want to marry their daughters into the harem, but they have nothing to do with the current majesty.

Never thought that the first one the emperor married was his daughter.

This is an honor, but it is also worrying. After all, it is not so easy to be a woman in the harem.

Of course, you still have to look happy on the face, and send off Eunuch Fu with gratitude.

After sending Eunuch Fu back, Mrs. Du hurried forward and asked happily, "It's true, our Chu'er is going to be a concubine!"

Ye Zhong smiled and said, "The imperial decree has come down, so it is true!"

Ye Mei turned her head to look at Ye Chu, and said with a coquettish smile, "Congratulations, elder sister!"

Mrs. Du also took Ye Chu's hand and said, "I didn't expect my daughter to become a concubine in the palace. It's really great!"

It was the first time for Ye Chu to see Du Shi showing such a happy and surprised look to him, and he bent his lips into a smile, before the smile fully unfolded, Du Shi muttered again, "It would be even better if it was Meier!"

Ye Zhong's face darkened, "What did Madam say?"

Mrs. Du also knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly took Ye Chu's hand and said, "What I mean is, if Mei'er and Chu'er both enter the palace and become concubines, our family will be fine!"

Ye Zhong said in a deep voice, "It's not easy to be an empress in the palace, there are more rules in the royal family than ordinary people, and..."

There is also the fight for favor among the concubines, it is simply a battlefield, the knife does not see blood, and the murder is invisible. His daughter does not have so many exquisite thoughts, and she does not know whether entering the palace is a blessing or a curse?
Du Shi was immersed in joy, and didn't take Ye Zhong's words to heart at all.

Ye Chu lowered his head, not recovering from the sudden news, subconsciously resisted.

She heard that once a woman enters the palace, she can't come out again, and she has to compete with many women for men.

"Chu'er don't need to think too much, the emperor is a benevolent king, he will treat you kindly, go back and prepare yourself!" Ye Zhongci said softly.

"Yes!" Ye Chu thanked his parents and went back to his yard gracefully.

After getting out of the sight of Ye Zhong and Du Shi, Ye Chu walked faster and faster, without the slightest poise and dignity just now, and his face darkened.

Back in his room, Ye Chu slumped on the chair and said dejectedly, "Sixi, I'm done!"

Sixi poured her a cup of tea, "What nonsense is Miss talking about?"

Ye Chu grabbed the clothes on Sixi's chest, with tears in her peach blossom eyes, she was about to cry, her appearance was so charming,
"It's all your fault for your crow's mouth, why did you say that I haven't entered the palace yet, now it's all right, I'm going to enter the palace, and I can't come out again!"

Sixi knew that her young lady would look like this when she was sad. People saw her and her heart softened. In fact, she was very vicious, so she hurriedly pulled her hand away, "I think it's very good, this is your mother. No one else can ask for it.”

Ye Chu bit his lips and sneered, "You don't have freedom, and you have to compete with other women, do you think it's okay?"

Sixi said, "I heard that the current sage is pure and ascetic, and there is not a single concubine in the harem, so, miss, you are unique!"

"What about after that?" Ye Chu asked.

"In the future," Sixi hesitated, then squinted and smiled, "Let's talk about the future later!"

Ye Chu shook his head, "No, I'm going to see my father, I don't want to be a concubine!"

After making up her mind, Ye Chu walked out the door and went to the study to meet her father.

"Miss," Sixi hurriedly followed.

Ye Chu walked very fast, the wind was blowing under his feet, and when he arrived outside the study, he was about to knock on the door when he heard his father's surprised voice from inside,
"What? Madame wants Mei'er to enter the palace instead of Chu'er?"

Du Shi said, "Why is the master surprised? I don't think Chu'er is very happy, why not replace it with Meier, anyway, the emperor doesn't know who Ye's parents are?"

Ye Zhong shook his head again and again, "I know Madam has always favored Meier, so I want her to enter the palace as a concubine, but this is absolutely impossible! I will follow Madam in other matters, this matter must never be done, if the emperor finds out, it is a The crime of deceiving the emperor is to search the family and execute him."

Du Shi said, "Is it that serious?"

"Of course!" Ye Zhong said affirmatively, "Besides, the harem is also very complicated. Meier is spoiled by you, so she may not be able to be a concubine!"

Du Shi sneered, "What do you say so much, I think you are biased towards Ye Chu!"

"Then you still favor Mei'er!"

"The concubine is not biased towards Meier, but just thinks that Chuer is not as smart as Meier, and is afraid that she will not be able to be a concubine and not be favored by the emperor."

"The old man thinks Chu'er is good!"

The couple had an argument in the room, outside the door Ye Chu's heart felt cold, and his palms were slowly clenched.

Turning to Sixi and whispering, "Knock!"

"Hey!" Sixi naturally also heard the conversation at the door, feeling very sorry for his young lady, and didn't understand that they were all Madam's own children, why Madam was so unfair?

Sixi stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door opened quickly. Ye Zhong was surprised when he saw Ye Chu outside the door, and hurriedly said, "Is Chu Er okay?"

Ye Chu didn't seem to hear the house's words, his face was normal, and he smiled softly,

"Father, mother, my daughter would like to ask, what do I need to prepare for entering the palace?"
