Chapter 105 The storm comes
The next day, someone came to the palace.
It was Wang Chengxi next to Emperor Chongzhao.
He was the one who came to carry the plaque "Ren Shan Hui Nu", and he was still the one who came to convey the good news today. He is very good at laughing, and no matter who sees him, a smile will suddenly appear in his eyes.
Such people are probably likable.
Xue Yuechen smiled and told the servants to prepare generous gifts to welcome him into the game.
"Eunuch Wang invites you in the house, Ms. Xue is here now..."
Chengxi bowed slightly and said with a smile: "It's not easy to work hard. Our family comes to pass on the oral orders of Your Majesty, but we dare not delay the errands. We will leave after saying a few words. Don't disturb you, don't disturb the princess..."
He was very polite and never took offense just because he was serving in front of the imperial court.
"Why should I be polite to me?" Xue Yuechen smiled and stuffed a bag full of money into Wang Chengxi's hand with his own hands.
"My father-in-law is busy, so I can't keep you. It's also appropriate to invite you to have a cup of hot tea."
Wang Chengxi stopped refusing.
Sometimes, not checking cash in front of the emperor makes people feel suspicious. It is better to follow the human relationship and the world. He knew this well and smiled and greeted him with a smile.
Xue Sui's "had not been cured", so he slowed down much.
When she entered the house, everyone had arrived.
Wang Chengxi held back his smile and stood up and proclaimed the decree loudly.
"According to the oral order of Your Majesty, Xue, the Duan Palace, is gentle, kind, respectful, and thrifty, and is virtuous and capable. He serves Duan and has great virtues. He is specially promoted to the wife of Duan Palace and is given the title of "Peace". I hope that in the future, I will abide by the morality of my wife and uphold the morality of my wife and uphold the morality of my wife in the future. Original aspiration, uphold diligence and work together to nourish the emperor's grace. I admire this-"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone knelt on the ground and bowed.
After reading the order, Wang Chengxi bent his straight back down, as if he had changed his body immediately, and kept bowing in front of Xue Yuechen, smiling.
"Princess, Mrs. Ping'an, congratulations, congratulations, we will go back and report our lives."
With the title of "Madam Ping'an" is a world of difference from the "Madam Ru" mentioned by Li Zhao.
If a wife is like a wife, she is not much higher than an ordinary concubine. "Madam Ping'an" was officially granted a title, and with the emperor's oral blessing, he stepped into the ranks of noble ladies with at least half his foot.
Xue Sui had already learned in advance that there was no surprise on her face and returned the gift calmly.
This calmness and calmness made Wang Chengxi take a few more glances.
"Madam must take good care of herself and give birth to the grandson for His Majesty as soon as possible. By then, rewards and grace will inevitably be indispensable..."
Xue Sui: "Thank you, my father-in-law, for your advice."
Wang Chengxi waved his hand, "Madam is out, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Xue Yuechen looked at the smiles piled up on Wang Chengxi's face, and his expression became stiff for a moment. He held the handkerchief and clenched it slightly unconsciously.
The sixth sister was given a title, and she was already full of joy and honor.
However, when she learned from Wang Chengxi that it was Li Huan who personally went to the palace to invite the decree, her mood instantly fell to a low point, and she couldn't help but feel a little sluggish when she stepped on the ground, as if she couldn't touch the ground, with a heavy head...
The last time Li Huan spoke to Concubine Xiao personally, it was for Concubine Zhang.
She said she met him since childhood and had a childhood affectionate relationship, but over the years, she has not seen any deep affection.
Because Li Huan never favored other women in the home, she had a stable status and was unshakable. She always looked to be tolerant and generous, and was indifferent to the world...
At this time, the feeling of stuffiness in her chest told her...
In fact, she was far from as generous as she thought.
-
When Miss Xue Liu received the news that she was promoted to "Madam Ping An" and soon passed it back to the Xue family.
So Qian bought several more tables.
She seemed to have chicken blood injected, and her feet were arranged without touching the ground, as if her own daughter was favored, and she wanted to tell the world.
Old Mrs. Cui's face was blushing and she couldn't stop smiling.
"I saw that Liu Yatou was a promising girl at the beginning, but now it has come true. My old lady, she is not as dazzling as she looks at the right person..."
Mrs. Fu sat aside, tugging the corners of her mouth, and sneered in her heart.
What a group of villains who are tempted by the flames, disgusting!
How could the old lady have ever had a good look on Xue Liu?
Wasn't she also afraid that the "Seven Evils Disaster Star" would implicate her son's future and corrupt the Xue family's lintel? Now, I am pretending to be a good person.
Disrespect for the old man!
She only dared to complain about these words in her heart, and she looked like a puppet on her face, cold and hard, and sat without saying a word, looking at the delicacies on the table, and she didn't want to move the chopsticks.
Qian smiled, "Sister-in-law, look at it, but aren't very happy?"
Fu showed a touch of imperceptible mockery and responded slowly.
"I think that there are not none of our girls who have a promising prospect. But it is worthy of such a big fanfare to have a concubine who has a wife?"
Qian looked at the disdain in her eyes and pulled the corner of her mouth.
"That's right, it's not as good as my sister-in-law, who gave birth to a highly respected concubine in the royal family? You are the mother of the eighth fortune star, shining the lintel... Who doesn't know about this in the capital? If God hadn't had the will, the sixth girl would have died long ago, I am outside, and my life is so hard, how can I compare myself with the big girl? ”
Mrs. Fu's face turned pale and pointed at her face: "You..."
Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, why is his face so bad? But the food is not up to the taste? I heard that my sister-in-law has been suffering from nightmares recently, and she has to take the tonic medicinal meal of ten taels of silver every day to calm down. But she wants to Let the stove make a new serving for you? ”
Qian took the power of the family, and Fu usually disliked her. The sarcasm inside and outside made Fu's face flushed and angry.
But before I could respond, a violent cough broke out from my throat...
Seeing this, Qian smiled and ordered the company to be in charge.
"I'll ask Dr. Zhang later, what good medicine is there? No matter how much money you are worth, you can send it to Qinglan Hospital. Don't drag a minor illness into a serious illness. Others say that I, a sister-in-law, are harsh sister-in-law... ”
Killing someone to kill your heart!
Qian really knows how to curse people.
I didn't say a single dirty word, and my face didn't change.
Seeing that Fu was coughing so hard that he was not relieving, Xue Qingxiu gave Qian a look and signaled that she could stop at the right time, and then turned to pour wine for Xue Qingzhi.
"Brother, let's drink it, no matter what the women and men do. When they talk about theirs, let's drink ours..."
Xue Qingzhi sat there, his face not very well.
No matter which daughter is favored, it is a good thing for the Xue family...
But the sixth girl acted unpredictably. The things that happened in the Xue Mansion in the past were like a big stone blocking his heart, pressing him tightly, heavy and indescribable awkward.
As the Minister of Justice, Xue Qingzhi knew the details of several cases thoroughly than others. He had no evidence to suspect Xue Liu, and there was no need to implicate his daughter...
But for some reason, every time I see Xue Sui, I feel uncomfortable all over.
He used to think it was guilty.
If you think about it carefully, it’s not.
He couldn't say it, and silently picked up the wine cup and accepted his congratulations.
Xue Qingxiu smiled and was really happy for Xue Sui. She was happy alone. Her tongue was knotted, her cheeks flushed, and she became drunk.
"My wife, it won't take long. The mansion is afraid that it will be held again to celebrate."
Qian's eyes lit up instantly.
"What's the good thing about Husband?"
Xue Qingxiu sat upright, with his shoulders straight, making it difficult to hide his compliment on his face.
"Last month of martial arts performance, my husband showed my skills and led a hundred people to break through three formations in a row! General Yiwu gave me golden arrows in public and wanted to promote me to the Yizhi School Captain."
He said and patted his chest, "From the future, your husband will also command five hundred cavalry, a seventh-rank court official..."
The Yizhi School Captain is not of very high rank, but he is a real military general.
It is obvious that General Yiwu trained Xue Qingxiu as his confidant, and he really appreciated him.
Qian was so happy that his husband had a smooth future, and he was so excited that he stroked his sleeves and praised him.
"Then let's do a special job, and invite all the relatives who usually underestimate our third room and let them take a good look at the majesty of our third master..."
"It's not possible to use it, it's not possible to use it!" Xue Qingxiu was shocked and hurriedly held Qian's arm, "The big tree attracts wind, don't be arrogant when doing things... Let's have fun in the house."
Qian also knew the pros and cons, and just said that he was just taking the opportunity to stimulate Fu and vent his old grievances.
And Old Mrs. Cui couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw him being so cautious. Saburo is really sensible!
He is no longer the reckless playboy who used to do things.
The Xue family celebrated happily. Xue Yueying, who came back to her parents' home to report the good news in the afternoon, seemed to have been slapped loudly on the face.
She became ugly on the day of her wedding, and shortly after she got married, Gu Jie was sent to prison.
The fourth girl in the Xue family was the most favored girl, who married the Gaomen Marquis' Mansion. She thought she could live a glorious life, but she ended up in a very embarrassed state.
She hasn't returned to her parents' home to show off.
Now that Gu Jie is out of prison, another doctor has found that her son is carrying a handle in her belly. He thought that he could be proud when he returned to his parents' home today...
As a result, when I came back, I heard that Xue Liu was promoted to the title...
Not only that, King Duan also felt pity for Xue Liu's weak and sickly body. He wanted to give up the civil affairs in the capital and take her to the villa for summer vacation...
Listening to the old lady praising Xue Liu, the third lady even said without any remarks that she was a lucky star...
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Xue Yueying clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.
She is obviously the one who deserves glory, and she is the one who is praised and honored by everyone. How could Xue Liu, an abandoned daughter, be as good as her concubine, the head lady in the Marquis’s mansion?
She felt that she had been greatly humiliated.
Gu Jie is blamed for being cowardly and unscrupulous...
The big sister blamed her for being partial and protecting Xue Liu.
The eldest lady blamed her for being cold and vicious.
It is strange that Hou Jingyuan has a title but has no ability.
It’s also a big fault for her father who loves her the most, not supporting him...
As the Minister of Justice, he holds great power. If he is willing to help, how could Gu Jie be imprisoned? Why did it end up in such a miserable end?
Of course, what she hates the most is Xue Liu.
"Why? Why is she?"
She could no longer hold it back, tears burst out from her eyes,
-
At the end of May, the heat became stronger and stronger.
The sun shines across the treetops, as if it is about to steam the person.
Xue Suizheng and Jinshu were looking for a new recipe and thinking about the drinks to relieve the heat. Mu Yueju's girl Yuzhu came to report.
"Madam Ping'an, the princess sent her maid to come and inform her. The day to go to the villa with the prince is set, on May 26th. There are not a few days left. What should I take with my wife? Get it packed up earlier, don't be too busy and delay the time. The princess also ordered the chariot officer to prepare three carriages for the wife. Madam, look, are the three cars enough? If not enough, just speak." >
Xue Sui smiled slightly. "All that's enough, thank you for the princess for me."
Jade pendant respectfully bowed his body to salute.
"Then my maid will report back to the princess..."
Xue Sui said, "Miss, wait."
Jade pendant stopped, "What else does Madam have to do?"
Xue Sui smiled and looked at Jinshu,
Jinshu understood it and took out a red coral bead hairpin.
"This is our wife's wish. Look at this hairpin, it's like tailor-made for the Jade Girl."
She turned around and took a sandalwood food box from Ruyi.
"The snacks here were made by our wife for the princess. I hope the girl will tell the princess that she will remember the princess' great kindness. If it weren't for the princess' protection, how could the lady live a stable life in this mansion?"
Yupeng understood what she meant and smiled restrainedly.
"Thank you, my wife, for your reward. I will report it word for word."
Xue Yuechen felt uncomfortable because of Li Huan's favor, so Xue Sui felt something.
Otherwise, she would tell her such news in person, and would ask her about those trivial matters in person, and would not send a girl to verbally convey it.
As soon as Jade Pendant left, Jinshu sighed.
"The princess knows that the girl has no intention of competing for favor, but she still competes so much. It is really a trouble she is looking for."
Xue Sui lowered her head, looked at the bowl of black medicine on the cabinet, and frowned slightly.
"It is a crime to bear a treasure. She is afraid that I will not be loved by the prince, and she is afraid that I will be too popular and rob her favor... In this deep courtyard, she has tried her best to be prepared for people, which is ordinary. ”
It’s not just Xue Yuechen’s fear.
The whole woman in the back house of the royal palace will look at her.
Jinshu nodded.
"The favor of King Duan is inexplicably coming. Don't the girl find it strange?"
What's strange about it?
It's nothing more than Li Huan's suspicion of her.
Xue Sui smiled.
"Praise and kill."
It’s a favor, it’s also a killing.
Jinshu asked: "How does that girl deal with it?"
Xue Sui: "Conquer people with virtue."
-
After Xue Yueying received the news, she came to the palace to pay homage to Xue Yuechen.
At noon, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her expression was even more anxious.
"I heard that Prince Duan's garden is elegant and has built several ice cellars, lotus ponds and water pavilions, water wheels, bamboo buildings, and water cups and water cups, which can relieve the heat the most. My sister has a big belly and is unable to move, and she has been very healthy recently. It's so heavy, it's so hot. I want to ask my elder sister to give me mercy, and my sister also wants to go with her cool..."
She spoke, how could Xue Yuechen, who is the eldest sister, not respond?
What's more, the fourth girl has a personality. She knows that she should not ask her for a request. Maybe she will hold a grudge and turn around and say something in front of her father.
Xue Yuechen smiled and said, "The prince will take advantage of these few days of rest and invite some relatives and friends to go to the villa to cook tea and discuss poetry. You can join in the fun together."
The invitations to King Duan are usually royal relatives or princes and nobles. Usually they will find a reason to gather together to be elegant and write poems and write poems. This is not particularly rare.
But no one expected that Prince Li Zhao was also invited.
Moreover, Li Zhao did not refuse and agreed happily.
When Aji came to reply to the news, Li Huan was discussing the implementation rules after the reform of criminal law with his aide Liu Yin in his study. He looked up and was silent for a long time after hearing the sound.
"Have you asked His Highness the Crown Prince, how are you feeling better recently?"
As we all know, not only Princess Pingle was sick a while ago, but Li Zhao also had a illness for many days.
The servant Aji said, "When you say to the prince, the villain asked. Doctor Zhang is asking for the prince's pulse, saying that your prince is just hot and weak in body, and his liver yang is slightly hypertrophic. The scenery in the prince's villa is pleasant, cool and comfortable, and it is most suitable. Rest."
He paused, bent down slightly, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness the Prince also said that he was very pleased that he was grateful to the prince for his concern. Even if he was not feeling well, he would definitely go to the prince's invitation."
Li Huan thought for a moment and smiled slightly.
"You have done a good job, go down and receive the reward."
Aji thanked him repeatedly and smiled.
Liu Yin knelt on the bamboo mat opposite Li Huan. Seeing a rare hesitation in His Highness Duan's eyes, he couldn't help but frown and bowed:
"The prince went to the appointment regardless of his illness, which is unusual. Your Highness must be careful to deal with it..."
A "boom" came from the sky.
A muffled thunder seemed to fall from the eaves.
Li Huan smiled indifferently, stood up and walked to the window. The wind in the courtyard was blowing and the leaves were whistling. It was originally a beautiful and sunny weather, but in an instant, there was dark clouds, revealing an inexplicable weirdness.
"The storm is coming!"
On the first day of the 2025 Lunar New Year, I wish you all prosperity and everything goes well!
Xue Sui: Today is also a long chapter, only one chapter has been updated.
Li Zhao: It’s a pity that I’m not doing anything…
Xue Sui: Although the prince left a little early last night, he has been living in the hearts of his readers.
Li Zhao: Thank you, Xue Ping'an.
