Chapter 267

Ginger is old and hot, and Empress Dowager Xia's words cut her hard work in half.

It doesn't matter, Yuan Zhao's desired effect has been achieved.

For example, calling You Changgeng, and asking Hongye to heal his injuries logically; and then letting everyone see her humiliation, the willingness of the third prince and the old King Qing to speak for her is an excellent proof.

After this dinner, I believe that Le An would not dare to pick on her so blatantly again.

After all, she is the son-in-law. For the sake of her husband's face and the honor of her husband's family, her willfulness and savagery must be restrained.

Of course, Yuan Zhao didn't think that the Empress Dowager Xia was defending herself. The other party was just protecting the royal family's reputation and the emperor's face.It's all superficial work, once you tear your face, you will die.

But who can predict what will happen tomorrow?Is everyone Liu Taibu?
"Come on, tell me, where did the idea for the dressing room come from? Where did you get the idea to transform it?" The new emperor asked with great interest.

Before, the courtiers said that Yuan Zhao's move was purely to vent his anger, and the queen also asked him to ask about it during the banquet tonight.

If there is no progress in the renovation of the dressing room, he will indeed suspect that Yuan Zhao has resentment and has to guard against it.However, after the female relatives from various prefectures went to Dongping Lane to see what happened, these doubts have long since dissipated.

He asked this question tonight out of curiosity, how did she come up with such complicated steps?
"Sister Chen is boring. Boring makes people progress." Yuan Zhao joked, "I'm not used to being idle at home. I wander around the mansion every day. When I see the sundial, I think of the smell when changing clothes... Sigh, really It's indecent, don't mention it."

It made Xindi laugh heartily, and she also smiled slightly.

Before entering the palace, she thought about whether or not she should suggest that His Majesty use objects such as glazed hourglasses to make a living and enrich the treasury.

When she saw the old king Qing and the third prince speaking for her, she changed her mind instantly and stopped talking.

Although the glazed hourglass and the like are small gadgets, they are considered by the Feng clan to be exclusive to the powerful.It was a symbol of nobility, a manifestation of their superiority, why did she bother to touch the bottom line of these people?
She is the only one who is so smart in such a huge dynasty?

Her surname is Beiyue, and she thinks that everything she does is for the court, and she is a loyal minister; but in the eyes of others, she has ulterior motives, evil intentions, and a sycophantic minister.

Generally speaking, the fate of loyal ministers is rough and rough.Even if he devotes himself to serving the country and being the king, he will eventually lose the lives of the whole family in vain.

In Fengwu, her family has been wronged for many years, and finally two members of the royal family stood up for her.Isn't it stupid to touch the interests of the rich and powerful to create hatred for oneself and even the clan at this time?Wouldn't it be nice to be her sufferer?

Thoughts turn a thousand times, misfortunes and blessings are only in one thought.

As a courtier, as a general, you must have the consciousness of a general; as a woman, you must abide by the rules that women do not enter the temple.

Especially the latter one, it is almost the red line of the world.

Unless she holds the world's soldiers and horses in her hands, otherwise, she will just spend the rest of her life cating in a corner.

……

Yuan Zhao and the new emperor talked heart-to-heart in the side hall; the empress dowager Meng Tai was also tired, and went back to the palace to rest.The eldest princess Feng Shi hurriedly followed, and only begged her mother to protect Ah Zhao when she arrived at Yongshou Palace.

"...Zhao'er was separated from Sister Jiang's mother and daughter since she was a child, and lived in Dantai Mountain for a long time in order not to hinder Le'an... Isn't that enough? The queen, the son and the minister dare not ask for anything extravagantly, but I beg for Beiyue to be punished by His Majesty Let her live more comfortably before!

Queen Mother, I beg you! "

Looking at her daughter who was kneeling on the ground and weeping, the Empress Dowager Meng sat on the couch and sighed silently.

And Empress Dowager Xia also took the opportunity to return to Changfu Palace, and asked her servants to quietly summon Princess Le'an and her son-in-law, and reprimanded her:
"You are not young anymore, and you are now a son-in-law, so you should live your life in peace! Don't stare at Yuan Zhao with cross-eyed eyes, provoke her to find fault everywhere, and force her to oppose you? Your Majesty cut her off." , her brother is bound to rebel.

Kill her brother again, and make Mubai exhausted by stationing at the border for many years, so you will be happy to be a widow, right?You were very clever when you were young, but how come you are getting more and more stupid when you grow up..."

"Mother's queen!" Her husband was present, but her mother's scolding became more and more ugly, Le An interrupted hastily ashamed.

"Now you know it's embarrassing? Why did you go?" The Empress Dowager Xia was very angry, but she had to scold her son-in-law in consideration of her daughter's face, "And you, Mubai, you are older than Le'an , when she gets confused, you have to persuade her..."

The side hall and the harem are both busy, and the royal relatives and relatives in the front hall are greeted and entertained by Empress Jiang.However, Yuan Zhao's aunt Yue Taifei did not attend. She was absent on the grounds that she had not recovered soon and was inconvenient to show her face.

Everyone knew that she didn't want to show up because of her embarrassing status.

For the new emperor, she was an elder, and she never attended such occasions during the first emperor's reign.The first emperor never forced her, so he let her be her own.

Concubine Yue did not come, but Princess Jingping was at the banquet.

She is an adult and should come out and see the world.After the banquet was over, he returned to Yungui Palace, seeing that Concubine Yue hadn't rested yet, he chatted with her.Concubine Yue was not interested in the banquet, but Princess Jingping still told what happened tonight.

"Mother Concubine, why does Sixth Sister keep getting along with Elder Sister? The two seem to have a lot of hatred..." The girl puffed her cheeks and asked in confusion.

"What kind of hatred can a child have? It's just a trivial fight, it's not worth it." Concubine Yue said casually, embroidering clothes for her adoptive daughter while urging, "It's cold in the night, go and rest .”

"Can't sleep," Princess Jingping pursed her lips, staring at the concubine's nimble hands with envy, "Mother and concubine embroider really well, I wish I had half of your skills!"

"Well," Concubine Yue said unhappily when mentioning this, "If you are willing to talk less and do more, and move your little finger, you won't be so emotional."

When Princess Jingping heard this, she giggled lowly, showing her daughter's charming demeanor.

……

At the time of Xu, the rewards from the palace were sent to the residences of the important officials in the court; at the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, the banquet in the palace dispersed, and the relatives of the emperor left the palace with the rewards of the new emperor, and returned to their mansions to reunite with their families to watch the new year.

Yuan Zhao was no exception. He came out of the side hall and went to Yungui Palace to greet his aunt.In the end, after receiving the reward from the royal family and a jade ruyi from the Empress Dowager Xia, she left the palace with Princess Erniang and went straight to the Duke's Mansion.

The people in the Duke's Mansion have been waiting for a long time, and it is rare for a family to reunite with endless joy.

Yuan Zhao and Er Niang went to the ancestral hall first, offered incense to their ancestors, the old Duke and the Jiang family, and then came out to have a happy gathering with everyone.

For the New Year's Eve, Yuan Zhao wants to stay in the Duke's mansion to watch the new year, and no one can persuade him.And Erniang, who spent the night with her grandchildren, couldn't bear to leave.But as the eldest princess, she had to go back to her mansion to watch the new year.

Since the old Duke passed away, every New Year's Eve, Mrs. Yan took the children to the Princess Mansion to accompany Erniang.

This year was no exception, You Sanlang took Yan Shi and the children to go together, Erniang hugged her grandchildren and laughed all the way in the carriage.

And Yuan Zhao stayed in the Duke's mansion with his brothers and sisters to watch the new year.

The whole family chatted and laughed happily in the main hall, speaking freely.Until midnight, the female relatives and children went back to the house to rest, and the brothers and sister-in-laws were still chatting with Uncle Ji Wu, Feng Changshi and others in the main hall.

In the dead of night, Yuan Zhao left the lively main hall, returned to the ancestral hall alone, and knelt silently in front of the spiritual tablets of his parents.

This kneeling, kneeling until dawn.
