Concubine Biography

Chapter 90

Fu'er was a little surprised to see Chen Zheng and Chen Qi appearing together in Zhaoyang Palace, "Father, brother? Why did you come together? Did something happen at home?"

Chen Zheng and Chen Qi saluted, Chen Zheng went to the side with a cold face and opened the medicine box, Chen Qi smiled awkwardly, "Ma'am, I have something good to tell you."

"A good thing?" Fu'er looked at Chen Zheng's face suspiciously, what would a good thing look like?
Chen Qi nodded, "Little sister is born, a girl is born, she is carved in pink and jade, she is very beautiful."

"Xi'er gave birth to a daughter?" Fu'er said pleasantly, but looking at Chen Zheng's black face, she quickly thought of a possibility, and immediately said with a straight face, "What? Is Han Sima upset?"

"Humph, he dares!" Chen Zheng said with a beard and staring eyes, "I was not unhappy when a delicate girl I raised with great difficulty married an old man like him, so why would he dare to be unhappy?"

Jiao Didi... Chen Qi was slightly ashamed.

"No, no, Han Sima is very happy. He said that it would be good to have a daughter, so that he can have a wife in the future, so as not to be bullied by outsiders." Chen Qi hurriedly explained.

Fu'er covered her mouth and smiled lightly, recruiting?Thanks to Han Ze for thinking it out, but according to Han Ze's temperament, it's not impossible to say such nonsense.

"Then why is dad unhappy?" Fu'er pointed at Chen Zheng and whispered.

Chen Qi made a mouth shape, the second child Chen Shun.

Fu'er understood, and when Chen Zheng got his pulse, he asked with a smile, "Father, did Second Brother make you angry again?"

Chen Zheng said angrily, "That one doesn't take the exam, don't mention him!"

It seems that he is really angry, "Father, what's wrong with the second brother? If he makes you angry, you can hit him. It's not good to be angry." Fu'er persuaded with a smile.

"Tell me, after studying for so many years, he was admitted as a scholar, and he still can't pass the exam for Juren. He is not too young, he is in his 20s. I will make him a family. Take it easy, forget it if you can't read it well, anyway, you can't read it well, so just stop reading it, and find a real businessman to live a good life, and he still insists on me, and you have to continue reading!" Chen Zheng said angrily.

Chen Qi added on the side, "Father is angry that the second child is not motivated. A few days ago, someone asked someone to find him an errand, which was to help the Chinese Academy to copy and organize some things on the pen. He refused to die, saying that he would take the exam again. , Mother told him about marriage, but he didn't agree, saying that he would never get married if he failed the exam, which made his parents very angry."

Fu'er sighed slightly, and persuaded Chen Zheng, "Father, you also know that the second brother has such a temper. He likes to read since he was a child, and he can't scream when he plunges into the book. The family doesn't lack his little money. Let him go."

"I'm not mad at him for not going to the National Academy. You said that he is such a big man, and getting married is good for him, right? I follow a group of students outside reciting some sour poems all day long, and call it Fengya. What does he know about Fengya? Stomach The goods here are not enough for people to see. No, a few days ago, I was arguing with people about Taigong fishing. People said that Taigong fishing is good, but he just said it was stupid. You talk about him, thinking in your mind what?"

The more Chen Zheng talked, the angrier he became, and the more Fuer listened, the happier he became. Even Hua Lian covered her mouth and laughed.

"You just let him go, it's not worthwhile for you to get angry and hurt your body." Fu'er could only persuade him like this.

Chen Zheng snorted, "I think he has lost his mind by reading!"

"Yes, yes, the second brother is the stupidest." Fu'er laughed along with her.

"Mother Concubine!" Li Peiling's voice came from the door, and the two little guys were dressed exactly the same again, and came in holding hands.

As soon as Chen Zheng saw the two little princes, he immediately burst into joy, "I have seen the second and third princes."

"Grandpa, uncle!" Li Peiling cheered, threw herself into Chen Zheng's arms, grabbed Chen Zheng's beard and laughed loudly.

Chen Zheng said with a smile on his face as he said, "Second prince, come quickly and let the minister feel your pulse, and see if the second prince is not getting any stronger recently."

Li Peiyan blinked and looked at Chen Qi, Chen Qi stepped forward to hug him, Li Peiyan turned his head, and buried his head in Fu'er's arms.

"He's a little afraid of strangers." Fu'er explained.

Chen Qi didn't care either, and nodded with a smile, "Kids are like this, it'll be fine when they grow up."

The father and son asked Li Peiling and Li Peiyan for Ping An pulse.

Chen Zheng took out three more sachets from his bosom, "This is the peace talisman your mother begged for you and your child, please keep it, your mother, it is also your mother's wish."

Fu'er took the sachet and nodded, "My daughter will definitely keep it safe."

"This year's imperial examination, your second brother will take the exam, and Lu'er's husband will also take the exam. The couple have already returned to Beijing from their hometown." Chen Zheng sighed.

"The third sister is back too?" Fu'er hugged Li Peiyuan.

Chen Zheng nodded, and the corners of his eyes were a little watery, "You sisters, Shou'er's life is the worst. If Lu'er's husband can get the ranking, this girl will be considered a top."

"What's the third brother-in-law's name? I'll ask about the results later." Fu'er said with concern.

Chen Qi said from the side, "Third brother-in-law is very high-minded. He obviously has no money, but this time he returned to Beijing and brought eight-color gift boxes to our house. Dad wanted them to live in our house, but he didn't want to. He insisted on staying with us." Looking for a house outside, I went to see it, life is very tight."

"Let's forget it, the third son-in-law is high-minded, let him go, pass the exam if he can, let's talk if he can't." Chen Zheng shook his head and said helplessly.

When Fu'er heard this, she thought about it, it's a good thing to have a high ambition, and she is willing to rely on her own strength to pass the exam, and she doesn't dare to be so tough without two skills.

After some gossip, Chen Zheng and his son left Zhaoyang Palace.

Inside Xuanming Hall.

Li Jiarong closed the memorial in front of him with a snap, picked up another memorial in front of him and opened it, quickly read it and closed it again with a snap.

Xiao Qinzi watched Li Jiarong's expression carefully, and shook his head secretly, it's over, the emperor will definitely get angry soon.

"Take these booklets and set up Fengyi Palace." Li Jiarong had a sullen face, and Xiao Qinzi hurriedly responded.

Arriving at Fengyi Palace, Li Jiarong got off the dragon chariot, and before he approached, he heard the sound of reading, "The way of university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in the ultimate good. After knowing the end, there is determination, and then there is determination. Be able to be quiet, be quiet and then be at peace, be at peace and then be able to worry, and then be able to gain after thinking. Things have their origins and ends, and things have their beginnings and ends. Knowing the sequence of events is the shortest path..."

It is "University".

Li Jiarong stopped, listened intently for a while, turned his mind, walked to the side, saw the window of Su's house was wide open, Li Peixiang's head was reading bit by bit, after reading for a while, Li Peixiang was bitter Said to the side with a straight face, "Queen, I can't recite it."

"No, I have to memorize it today." Su's serious voice sounded, Li Peixiang turned his head and continued to read while shaking his head with a bitter face.

Li Jiarong thought for a while, sighed lowly, turned around and said to Xiao Qinzi, "Let's go back to Xuanming Hall."

"Go back to Xuanming Palace?" Xiao Qinzi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the booklet in his hand, "Then..."

"Let's go." Li Jiarong stopped talking and walked straight to the palace gate.

In the evening, Li Jiarong walked to the desk after finishing his meal, and frowned when he saw the memorial lying on the side, "Xiao Qinzi, go invite the queen over."

Xiao Qinzi responded, and went to pass the message in doubt.

Li Jiarong rubbed his forehead and leaned on the back of the chair, his face full of deep weakness.

Su Clan came over soon, she hurried into the Xuanming Hall, saw Li Jiarong leaning on the back of the chair with closed eyes and said with concern, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to rest first?"

"Queen," Li Jiarong said wearily, "you should take a look at the notes on the table first."

Su looked suspiciously at the stack of memorials on the table, and when she walked over, her face turned pale instantly. She flipped through it faster and faster, and the more she looked at the back, the colder her vest felt.

"Your Majesty!" Su Shi knelt down in front of Li Jiarong with a plop, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this..."

Li Jiarong opened her eyes and looked at Su Shi, "Queen, get up, sit down and talk."

The Su family got up tremblingly, and sat on the chair next to him. Li Jiarong pointed to the memorial and said, "These are the documents for the impeachment of your concubine Su Jun and your brother-in-law Wei Hao. The prefect of the county, the flood of the Yellow River, did not think about how to deal with it, but concealed it and did not report it, resulting in the destruction of the embankment, the flooding of tens of thousands of fertile fields along the coast, and the loss of countless people. The money sent by the imperial court for disaster relief was abruptly cut off in his hands Half! There is also Wei Hao, as a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, buying and selling officials, accepting countless bribes, with more than 200 land properties, house deeds, and various shops under his name alone, he is really rich."

Su's heart jumped when he heard that, he tilted his body and knelt down again, "Your Majesty, my concubine... don't know these things...."

"You get up first," Li Jiarong raised his head slightly, and said calmly, "Not only that, your deceased brother and sister, Su Er's first wife's mother's family filed an imperial lawsuit, claiming that Su Er poisoned his wife and joined forces with your mother Mrs. Su poisoned your elder brother and his wife, abused your nephew, and all kinds of evil deeds are too numerous to enumerate in order to seize the family property."

"Queen, what do you think I should do?"

Su slumped on the chair, not knowing how to answer at all.

Li Jiarong just looked at her and didn't speak.

The silence in the hall was suffocating, Su looked up at Li Jiarong, wondering what Li Jiarong was going to do.

"I don't know my concubine, my concubine, please ask the emperor... to show me."

Li Jiarong sighed, stood up, and said slowly, "Queen, I think it's because of Peixiang and because I've been with you for more than ten years. This time, I will spare your Su family. The impeachment I have kept will not be issued, you remember, it is only this one time."

"As a queen, you are the mother of the country first, then Zhen's wife, then Peixiang's mother, and finally the daughter of the Su family. You... please restrain your family well."

Li Jiarong's back was facing Su's, his figure was thin but cold.

Facing his back, Su slowly knelt down, "Concubine... Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go down."

Su Clan stood up staggeringly, reluctantly bowed his knees and saluted, and moved out of the hall step by step. When he reached the door, Su Clan couldn't help but look back at Li Jiarong.

"Your Majesty... If it was the concubine's family who committed the crime today, would you do the same?"

Li Jiarong looked back at her, his face was cold and without any tenderness.

"Queen," Li Jiarong said, "her family won't have that chance, her father is very timid."

Su pulled out a bitter smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine...Understood."

Yes, Chen's father was timid, so he would not dare to steal imperial edicts like her father, would not arrange for his children and relatives to enter various important yamen, and would not give birth to a group of bold children like them...

Only this one time……

Su smiled slightly, Your Majesty, you still can't bear it after all.
