Chapter 149

"What about her, just so-so. The person next to him disagreed, "Her father and elder brother are the ones who are truly amazing."Xie Yulang and Xiao Yulang are both beautiful and charming, not like people in the world. "Besides, not only good looks, but also good knowledge. One is Tanhua, the other is champion, the best among Qingliu scholars.

No one dared to speak too much on this occasion, just a few words.After the congratulations, all women, regardless of whether they are married inside or outside, will receive the banquet in the palace.Congratulations and banquets are very honorable things for a married woman, and everyone happily attends the table.

During the banquet, the Empress Dowager Duanxian specially ordered the palace people to call Mrs. Xie, the wife of Nanning Hou Shizi, and said a lot of good words, "Whoever is a woman, do good to your parents-in-law and husband, don't talk too much, don't be jealous." The Empress Dowager Duanxian thanked her Very kind.

Among the wives, there are high-ranking women who are close to the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and there are also low-ranking women who can only sit under the sweet-scented osmanthus. Those who can peek can't help but peek over.I saw that Mrs. Xie agreed meekly, respectfully, with very thoughtful etiquette.

"Are you really not jealous?" A young lady on the lower right of Empress Dowager Xu asked with a smile: "You are so young, if you can really not be jealous, it will be considered rare. In front of the Empress Dowager, you have to tell the truth, Don't tell lies." This young lady was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her spirits were high, and she was obviously of a very high class.

"In front of the Empress Dowager, how dare you tell lies? I really don't feel jealous. Women in the Nanning Marquis Mansion don't need to be jealous at all." Liu Nian smiled and said tenderly.The men in the Nanning Marquis Mansion are all clean and self-sufficient, why are women jealous?No need.

The young lady sneered a few times, "I'm not jealous, I have some beautiful maids here, take them back to serve your heirs." She is Empress Dowager Xu's niece, Lan Shi, so naturally she will advance and retreat with Empress Dowager Xu.When the first emperor was here, no matter whether it was the court or the harem, they couldn't do anything to Nanning Marquis Mansion.Now that the late emperor is gone, even if it is impossible to convict the Nanning Marquis Mansion and Dongchang Marquis Mansion immediately, at least he can arrange people in their families to take care of it slowly.Mrs. Nanning Marquis is old, resourceful and decisive, and can't be dealt with. The wife of this world is young and inexperienced. In front of the Queen Mother, she must only agree to it.

A mansion like the Marquis of Nanning is not easy to break through from the outside, but how about starting from the inside?Send a few enchanting and stunning beauties in, and within a few months, they will be able to cooperate with the inside and outside, and weave evidence of the Nanning Marquis Mansion's rebellion and collusion with the enemy.At that time, whether the emperor believes it or not, for the crime of treason, he would rather believe it or not, and would rather kill the wrong than let it go.In this way, Nanning Marquis Mansion and Dongchang Marquis Mansion will be miserable and wiped out.

Empress Dowager Xu looked very kind, "Yes, take it back. Remember, you must be magnanimous and tolerant, and don't be jealous." This Zhuo family is a bloodless family. The daughter-in-law was snatched away by the Nanning Marquis. Don't move!Since the Zhuo family didn't move, they had no choice but to do so.Now, no matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, he treats himself extremely respectfully and filially.Don't take advantage of this time to do things, but when to wait.

"My husband is very picky." Liu Nian looked shy and embarrassed, "Does the beauty who serves him need to be talented or have a noble status. He...he wants a noble woman..." The voice became more and more Low, in the end, only those who are close to the Queen Mother Xu can hear it.

Empress Dowager Xu understood.This Mrs. Xie, she is a concubine!Although the Marquis of Nanning had no choice but to marry her, they felt that her status was not enough and wanted to find another noble woman.Isn't this easy to handle, the big maids in the Palace of Mercy Ning, the celebrities around the Empress Dowager, no one will be disrespectful when they go out of the palace.Since Nanning Marquis wanted a woman of noble status, they gave him two court ladies.

At the banquet, all the wives looked at it for real. Empress Dowager Xu bestowed two dignified and beautiful maids, Mrs. Xie, the wife of Nanning Marquis Mansion, thanked them respectfully and docilely, with a look of gratitude.There is no other way, the queen mother bestowed a beauty, even if she wanted to take a bite out of hatred in her heart, she would thank her again and again and sing her praises.It doesn't matter which family is the wife, it can only be like this.

When the banquet was about to end, a sudden change happened.The two maids thanked the Empress Dowager Xu, and they wanted to meet Mrs. Xie according to the ceremony.Naturally, Mrs. Xie did not dare to accept the gift, and repeatedly declined.The two palace maids relied on their identities, so it's fine to be courteous twice.

According to the system of this dynasty, when a palace maid goes out of the palace, according to the rules, the imperial physician is required to diagnose the pulse.Theoretically speaking, all the maids in this palace belong to the emperor and can be lucky at any time.Wouldn't it be a big deal if the emperor got lucky with a lowly maid in the palace one day and forgot about it in a blink of an eye, but the maid was already pregnant?

Empress Dowager Xu bestowed the maids in front of all the wives, and when the two maids were ordered to go back to their room to pack their clothes, someone came from the imperial hospital.The two maids were quite impatient, "I don't need to do any labor to check the pulse!" We won't even be able to see the emperor's face, aren't you just worrying about it?
The imperial physician's duty, how could he listen to them, just insisted with a smile, "Please give me the pulse." Had a diagnosis.After this diagnosis, things came out.

"Congratulations, my lord, I've been pregnant for more than a month!" The imperial doctor cupped his hands and congratulated the two maids anxiously and angrily, "You are talking nonsense!" They are still virgins, how could they be pregnant?Lonely in the palace, seeing that she could go out of the palace and marry to Nanning Hou's mansion to serve a young and handsome eldest son, but was ruined by this inexplicable imperial doctor!
The imperial physician took out a small white bottle and ordered someone to feed them a sip.After drinking this potion, any doctor who comes to check the pulse will say "I am indeed pregnant", and nothing will happen again.The two maids were fed the potion and looked at each other in despair.No matter how stupid they are, they also know that something is wrong.

The imperial physician, surnamed Su, was young, in his 30s.Imperial Physician Su gave the two maids a satisfied look, very good, my future depends entirely on you.Don't blame me for being ruthless, just the two of you, even if you go to Nanning Marquis Mansion, you will die.

At the banquet, all the wives were stunned: Imperial Physician Su rushed in anxiously, knelt and trembled in front of Empress Dowager Xu, "Miss Bao and Maid Shi...no...don't leave the palace." The two maids, one surnamed Bao, One surnamed Shi.

Empress Dowager Xu was furious, "Why can't you leave the palace? Tell me!" Even a little imperial doctor dared to challenge herself, the Empress Dowager?The Marquis of Nanning has always been tough, and they didn't dare to reject these two maids. What's the matter with you?

Imperial Physician Su prostrated himself on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead, "The Empress Dowager, Maid Bao and Maid Shi... are really not allowed to leave the palace...they are pregnant!"

When Imperial Physician Su said these words, he was really shocked.A few timid people passed out on the spot, and a lot of them were frightened.Empress Dowager Duanxian, what is the matter with you, sending the palace maid who is pregnant with a dragon fetus out of the palace to Nanning Marquis Mansion?What are you going to do.No matter how much you are the aunt's mother, the empress dowager of the world, you can't be so shabby to the emperor.

Not to mention the royal family, even if it is an ordinary official's family, or a mansion of a meritorious official, it can't be justified for a aunt to make such a fuss about the eldest son!Other things can be ambiguous, and the offspring and lineage cannot be messed up.

Empress Dowager Xu stood up and shouted sharply: "Bold! How dare you defile Ai's family!" These two maids were his confidantes, and they wanted to give them to the emperor, but the emperor didn't even look at them.The two of them must still be virgins, and they can't be wrong anyway.

Empress Zhuo was very at a loss, and looked at the Empress Dowager Duanrong, Liang Shi, as if asking for help.Empress Dowager Liang stood up gracefully, "Your Excellencies, please go back." I ate, drank, and watched the show, so why don't you leave?The wives suddenly realized that they had to say goodbye one by one, and they left in a short time.This kind of royal privacy, the less you know, the better.

Even though he is gone, who doesn't listen to the letter behind his ears?The palace is strictly forbidden, and it is difficult to inquire about the news. After waiting until the fifth day of the first lunar month, no one knows the truth.From the sixth day of the first lunar month, it was vaguely heard that the Compassionate Ning Palace killed two maids, His Majesty the Emperor shed tears for these two maids.

The courtiers quit.Before the opening of the government office on the tenth day of the first lunar month, a speech officer risked his life to go to the court, and scolded the Empress Dowager Duanxian fiercely, "The heart of a snake and scorpion, Lu Zhi is reborn!" Fang Gang, on the one hand, was really angry, and on the other hand, he wanted to be famous, and he finally seized the opportunity to scold the empress dowager, opened his voice, and shouted to everyone in the world.

His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been filial to the Empress Dowager, did not blame Zhang Li this time.Empress Dowager Xu really wanted to argue, but she didn't know what to say: the two maids died that night, and the death was exactly the same as the woman who died of a miscarriage.At this moment, Empress Dowager Xu suddenly realized that the emperor's filial son had already controlled the entire palace, including the Palace of Compassion and Ning where she lived.

When Empress Dowager Xu was in a panic, the emperor acted like a filial son to all civil and military officials, wholeheartedly wanting to maintain the majesty of his aunt. "Sacred Benevolence and Filial Piety!" After suffering such a big loss, it is too lenient to give such preferential treatment to the aunt who has no birth or support.Who in the court didn't know that the emperor's biological mother was the Empress Dowager Liang, and his adoptive mother was Empress Xiaomin Yuan, who had never been close to the Empress Dowager Xu since childhood.

The Celestial Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and for a while, the emperor's reputation reached an unprecedented peak.Empress Dowager Xu is still working as her empress dowager in the palace, but the courtiers will no longer persuade the emperor to "be kind and virtuous empress dowager" as before.

Empress Dowager Xu has no strength, she relies on her status, and civil servants who value etiquette and filial piety.If even civil servants stopped supporting her, Empress Dowager Xu would be lonely day after day in the deep palace.

"Little boy, you are really cruel." Nanning Hou Mansion, Yaya shook her head and sighed at Fleeting Years.Didn't I just remind you that "The Empress Dowager Duanxian has no other skills, maybe she will give you two beautiful court ladies", so you came up with this countermeasure!I have to say that this strategy is quite effective, and the emperor likes it very much.

"I'm not ruthless, I'm so gentle." Liu Qing whispered, "If others don't provoke me, I will definitely not. If others provoke me, I will return ten times or eight times. I'm sorry for her."

"No, no." Liu Nian said it before, and immediately changed his words, "Daddy taught you, you can do it, but you can't say it. How did I say it, no, no." If Fourth Master Xie heard it, he would definitely look at it with a half-smile Come here, with sarcasm in your eyes.The Marquis of Nanning and Empress Dowager Xu are already immortal, so there is no need to say it.

Yayachi questioned: "Daddy, did he teach you this way? Little boy, is your brother the same?" Tang Nian is such a pure man, he is different from his sister.

Fleeting Nian giggled, "The days are long, you take your time to see." Yaya, you don't know what kind of person is next to your pillow, do you dare to sleep at night?What are you pretending, Tang Lang is obviously very good.

Xie family, fourth master Xie drank New Year's wine during the day, and went to Jingxinyuan to mess around with He Li at night, "A Li, you give me a baby. It should be small, white, and soft. It should be cute if you smile, Will be mischievous."

While feeding him hangover soup, He Li gently agreed, "Okay, give birth to a baby." Now that he is in his early forties, he still wants a baby?I've been thinking about this for years, but I can't do it.In the past, when my wife hadn't given birth to Fifth Young Master, I was really worried all day long, lest I accidentally get pregnant with one of them.After giving birth to Tang'er, it took five or six years before she became pregnant with Xiaoqi.After that, there was no movement.I would be happy to have another baby, how can I, how old is this.

Fourth Master Xie drank hangover soup, washed up in the clean room, and fell asleep.Mao Ying and Hu Ying cleaned up the room and retreated out quietly.When Mao Ying walked to the door, she couldn't help but glanced back, praying in her heart: Auntie, you can't hold back, you must tell fourth master.

Waking up early this morning, the fourth wife called He Li and Yuan Zhaoquan to her side to do some errands such as pouring tea and water, and opening the curtains.The fourth wife and the wives and grandmothers of relatives drank New Year's wine, and Yuan Zhao and He Li stood behind to serve them, standing for two or three hours.

There is nothing to say about this, it's the job of aunts.Auntie, serving the mistress during the day and the master at night, no matter how hard or tired she is, she has no place to complain, so she can only hold on by herself.Yuan Zhao's body was weak, and he passed out when he reached the gate of Rongyue Courtyard.It's not auspicious to ask a doctor or take medicine for those who are born in the new year, so they can only be raised in bed.He Li was physically stronger than Yuan Zhao, but he couldn't stand such a violent toss, his feet were sore and his legs hurt, and his body was weak.

Mao Ying was careful, so she soaked He Li's feet in hot water, which made her feel better. "Are you going to tell the fourth master, or the sixth young master and the princess?" Mao Ying asked with concern while soaking He Li's feet.

He Li shook his head, "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't talk about it." It's just the pain of flesh and blood, and they don't tell anyone.In the past few days, Yulang, Tang'er, and Yaya went out to drink New Year's wine every day, and they were busy enough.It's fine if you can't help yourself, and you must not add to the chaos.

Mao Ying gritted her teeth, "Do you think you are still young? You are in your early forties, how can you bear it?" It is common for wives and grandmas of rich families to be accompanied by concubines Ji, but they are all young and beautiful.Furthermore, someone is replacing them, so it won't take a long time for one stop.The Xie family, the fourth master only has Aunt Yuan and Aunt He, who are not too young, how can they afford this.

Huying is purely a young man who doesn't know how to feel sad, so he came up with an idea, "It's easy to handle, let the fourth master take in a few more young and beautiful girls, and it's over? There is such a concubine like that standing behind my wife. Enough style!" You can rest.

As soon as Hu Ying said this, Mao Ying gave him two vicious stares.Hu Ying was too frightened to speak anymore, her sister must have thought that she had evil intentions, which was really wronged.For a character like Fourth Master, I am content to just take a look at him from time to time, so how can I expect to be able to kiss Fangze once in a while?
He Li smiled, "Seriously, you two don't say a word when you leave this door. Even in this door, you are not allowed to mention a word when you see the Fourth Master, the Sixth Young Master, and the princess." Look at it for two days to see what the wife means, but think again.

After dinner, Tang Nian and Ya Ya brought Zi Yi to play for a while.He Li was leaning on the kang, while Zi Yi sat beside her, chattering for a while.Regardless of whether he understood or not, He Li smiled and nodded, full of praise, the boy Yi was very happy.

He Li didn't say anything until Tang Nian's family left.Mao Ying was anxious for her and wanted to persuade her again, so Fourth Master Xie came.Mao Ying didn't have any other thoughts, she just wished that He Li would tell her tactfully that she would be spared this drudgery tomorrow, so that she would fall ill like Aunt Yuan.
