Da Suining

Chapter 108

The Clan Mansion, as the name suggests, is the place where the descendants of the clan are concerned. Whether it is the relatives of the emperor or the elder brother and princess in the palace, once they make a mistake, they will often be stuffed into the Clan Mansion to think about their mistakes.

Naturally, going to the clan's mansion will not use torture, nor will you suffer much grievance. Most of Xuanguo's clan's mansions are for the common people to see.

The emperor threw Guo Kai to the clan mansion to protect him.

Mr. Zhou has ups and downs in the officialdom, so how could he not know it? He lifted up his robe and knelt down, and even helped Guo Kai to speak: "The second prince is still young, what did he do that violated the rules, the emperor should not get angry, and be careful. People cannot be resurrected after death. During his lifetime, the father-in-law was highly valued by the emperor, he has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't want the emperor's heirs to be harmed."

The emperor didn't speak, but his expression was fine, which showed that he had listened to Lord Zhou's words.

Mr. Zhou said again: "The matter has already happened, and Baxi has already paid for his life. It is fair that he killed the person. Anyway, no one saw the second prince instructing him to kill, maybe Baxi just bit him casually." What? It’s not bad for him to die.”

There are good reasons for resolving the siege for the emperor.

The emperor needs such subordinates very much.

The rain stopped.

The eunuchs began to clean the palace.

The little eunuch bowed to add tea, and the emperor specially asked the little eunuch to serve tea to Mr. Zhou and Suining.

Being able to drink the tea in the palace shows that the emperor thinks highly of it. How many ministers of the palace have come, the emperor may not give tea.

Master Zhou happily drank all his tea, waiting for the emperor's reward.

"Zhou Sheng, Qingcheng is under the emperor's feet, it is very important. I entrust it to your jurisdiction, I don't want this kind of thing to happen under your rule, it shows that your supervision is not effective."

"I'm guilty." Zhou Sheng quickly put down the teacup and knelt down.

"Because you caught the culprit very quickly, and the real culprit has already died under the law, I will not pursue it. I will fine you three months of silver. You have to be more careful in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Master Zhou wiped his sweat.

"There is a maid by my side, who is very careful in serving people. I am busy watching you, and your sleeves are a little frayed today. I will reward you for this maid. It is better to stay by your side and take care of her." .”

After the emperor finished speaking, he saw a woman with a goose-feather fan and a high bun coming over, with red phoenix eyes, deep eyes, flowing eyes, gentle like water.Looking at the lines of the whole body, it is ups and downs, the neck is white and long, the buttocks are round and looks good, a pair of small feet are wearing gray embroidered shoes with navy blue flowers, and the waist is very soft when walking, almost silent.

She kowtowed to the emperor first, and then obediently retreated outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait for Mr. Zhou.

The woman who hangs in front of the emperor, even if she is a sweeper, is also beautiful and beautiful, even more beautiful than ordinary noble girls.

A three-month salary fine and a reward for a woman, Mr. Zhou clearly earned it.The emperor also blocked Yoyo's mouth.

The emperor dismissed Mr. Zhou first, and Mr. Zhou led the maid and left in a hurry.

Then, the emperor withdrew the servants again.

Only the emperor, the concubine and Xiang Suining remained in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Concubine He, do you really not know about the matter of Jie'er?"

Concubine He felt aggrieved, obviously she came to deliver soup, why did the emperor still suspect that it was her?Immediately, he went forward and rubbed the emperor's shoulder, and said in a very aggrieved tone: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about it."

"Your mother didn't know anything about your son getting into such a disaster, isn't it a mistake?"

Concubine He couldn't speak anymore.

"Ciao'er has been taken by you since he was a child. In recent years, his skills have not improved, and he has done a lot of things that ruined human lives. You mother should also reflect on yourself. I put Cheng'er in the clan's mansion, you Don't go to visit, let alone send food and money, let him meditate on his own past, it will be good for him."

"Your Majesty, how could Jie'er have been wronged like this since she was a child? It was only a eunuch who died, and Jie'er was born to the Emperor."

The emperor raised his head slowly, looking at Concubine He with burning eyes.

Concubine He withdrew her hand, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was extremely quiet.

The group of crows above the palace must also know that the rain has stopped, and they are flapping their wings and circling in the air at the moment, the sound is high-pitched and long, which makes one's hair stand on end.

After a long time, Concubine He knelt down and said: "Qi'er is the second son of the emperor, he is not young, it's time to share the burden for the emperor, he did such a thing, let the emperor worry, please don't blame."

"Miss Xianger, what do you want to say?"

The emperor finally asked Xiang Suining.

Xiang Suining silently thought about it in his heart.

Master Zhou protected Guo Kai, and the emperor rewarded him. Obviously, the emperor protected Guo Kai.

Concubine He defended Guo Wei, but the emperor reprimanded her again.

The emperor's thoughts?
Capricious and treacherous.

This question is not easy to talk about.

"I...I want to go home. It's been too long since I've been out. I'm hungry." Xiang Suining pretended to be confused. She had seniors and juniors, and if she said something wrong, it would implicate Xiang's family. It's never wrong to pretend to be stupid of.

All she can do is go here.

The emperor laughed, and asked the court lady to pack several packs of imperial snacks, and personally delivered Xiang Suining to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "You are innocent, clever, gentle, and can talk, which is better than me My brother is stronger, if he is with you in the future... it will save me some trouble."

Xiang Suining had never looked Guo Cheng in the right eye, the emperor would know that.

Even though they were two people who would bite each other as soon as they met, the emperor actually wanted to pull the red line.

The emperor is also pretending to be confused.

I thought that if this happened, the emperor would kill the idea of ​​making do with Xiang Suining and Guo Kai, but unexpectedly he didn't mean that at all.

Chenghuan Hall.

Due to the rain, water flooded out of the four large vats in the courtyard of Cheng Huan Hall. Lotus roots were planted in the large vats, and the lotus leaves were in fields. At this moment, the lotus leaves are full of bean-sized water droplets, which are white and bright, very beautiful.

The big red fish raised in the tank was washed out by the water, bent like a crescent moon, and bounced up in the courtyard as soon as its head and tail struggled. The body was very slippery, and the fish jumped farther when it heard a "chuck".

Really unable to catch, the little eunuch took out his net, but before he caught any fish, the little eunuch slipped under his feet, and kicked the fish away.Another little palace lady joined in, a few fishes were so busy that everyone was thrown off their feet, but no one made any unnecessary noise.

In front of the screen wall is a cluster of beautiful crabapple flowers. The crabapple flowers are pink and purple, and they are densely packed together. The flowers are so dense that the leaves below cannot be seen from above.Now after wind and rain, half of the crabapple flowers broke off their branches and fell to the ground. It's a pity to see a thick layer of petals.

The little maid picked up the crabapple flowers in a bamboo basket, picked up four baskets in total, and mentioned the nave of Chenghuan Palace to show to Concubine Mei, how beautiful the crabapple flowers are after the rain, the rain on the crabapple flowers has not yet cleared.

The concubines in other palaces like rain very much, because when it rains, there will be poems.

For example, "It rains on the apricot blossoms when the clothes are wet, and the willow wind blows on the face is not cold", such as "The clouds rise at the beginning of the stream, the sun sinks, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the buildings", such as "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the mist and rain", such as "The autumn shade does not disperse and the frost flies late, leaving the withered lotus to listen to the sound of rain."

After all, when it’s raining, it’s easy to find a topic, whether it’s sad or melancholy, chat casually, and you can chat with the emperor for a long time.In case the emperor feels pity for this again, it is possible to sleep with the emperor for one night, after all the women in the palace are all greedy for the emperor's body, and they have to seize any opportunity.

The court lady brought begonia flowers to Concubine Mei. It is a good topic to talk about falling rain and falling flowers.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Mei didn't accept the trick at all, she didn't even look at the crabapple flower, she didn't have that kind of talent, anyone who knew her well knew that she hadn't read any books, so she couldn't play that trick.

Even she doesn't like the rain.

"Washed my fish, broke my flowers, this damn rain." Concubine Mei Gui lay there crookedly, being served by her maidservants and beating her legs.

Outside the set-up window is the bustling summer scene, the air after the rain is very fresh, the fragrance of crabapple flowers can be heard faintly, and the green grass under the porch has grown taller again, with a strong smell of green grass.

Concubine Mei tilted her head lazily. There was a large mole on her neck, which was as big as half a palm. When she tilted her neck, the mole ran out from her collar.

When she was born, there was a mole on her neck. As she grew up, the mole grew. By the time she was a teenager, the mole had grown to the size of the bottom of the bowl. Although she had invited many doctors to see her, she couldn't control it with medicine. It doesn't matter how much money is spent.

Let it grow.

It stands to reason that a medical examination is required before entering the palace, and Concubine Mei with such a mole would not have been elected. Who asked the emperor to specify that she should be chosen.Over the years, I have also reached the position of imperial concubine. What is even more exciting is that there is no empress above her, so she almost has the final say in the harem. Those little hoofs dare to play tricks in front of the emperor to give her When paying respects, everyone has to put away their fox tails and pretend to be virtuous and virtuous.

At this moment, all the concubines have just been dismissed, and it is rare to have a word with her son Guo Cong.

Guo Cong came back from the study room, although he took an umbrella, his robe was also wet. He just changed into clean clothes and sat under the window to pick up the book again.He is a book lover, and he is thinner, with the air of a scholar.

Concubine Mei felt proud when she saw this son. She was a rough person, but she gave birth to such a progressive child. Even Master Chen, who was in the study, praised the writing.

"If you read books for a long time, you will spoil your eyes. Read less. When you become an emperor, some people under your command are well-educated people. You just need to manage them well." Concubine Mei tied a piece of it herself. The watermelon was passed to Guo Cong: "Hurry up and eat, summer is almost over, and the last watermelon is left."

Guo Cong winked at Chang Nan, Concubine Mei's personal maid, and Chang Nan waved his hand, and all the servants left.

"Mother shouldn't say in front of the servants that I will be the emperor in the future. It's not good for people who are interested to hear." Guo Cong is not very old, and he already knows to mention his mother. Concubine Mei's words don't matter , There are eyes and ears everywhere in this palace, how can we not guard against it?
Concubine Mei didn't take it seriously: "You are the eldest son of the emperor, and my mother's family also snatched this river for him... So the crown prince will be yours sooner or later, and you will not be the emperor in the future. The few princes you have are like raw melon eggs, and you are much better than them."

"Mother——" Guo Cong looked out through the window, but fortunately no one was there, so he said: "Father has many sons, and there are several who are similar to my age. Mother, don't say that I am the prince, second prince. Although Guo Kai is less educated, he is better than me when it comes to martial arts."

"I heard that your father threw him into the clan mansion, and I don't know what mistake he made again. It's better to throw him away from the clan mansion, so that his mother won't be delusional every day, and want her son to be the prince."

Chang Nan whispered the word outside, saying that it was the Fifth Prince Guo who wanted to see him.

Guo Yi is three years younger than Guo Cong, in terms of appearance, he is well-rounded, and his homework is also good, he is indispensable for any activities in the palace.

It's a pity that his mother's family background is not high, so according to her matrilineal background, Guo Yide will be in the back row.

He seldom came to Concubine Mei, and Concubine Mei was also a little surprised.

Guo Cong only thought that Guo Yi was looking for him, and asked him when they met, "Fifth brother, but what did Master Chen confess?"

"I have something to tell the imperial concubine and the eldest brother." Guo Yi was soaked in the rain, his clothes were still wet, and now he stood in the corner like a drowned rat, his hair tied with a jade crown was still dripping.

"To make a long story short, don't delay your going back to change your clothes." Concubine Mei Guifei's words of concern didn't sound very pleasant, as if she was going to kick someone out if she said something wrong.

Guo Yi was a little embarrassed.

"Fifth brother, what do you want to tell us?" Guo Cong asked Guo Yi to wipe a thick blanket, pointed him to a stool, and asked the maid to bring him a bowl of tea.

Guo Yi glanced at the crowd, seeming to have something to hide.

Concubine Mei doesn't like the chicken thief's small eyes.

A concubine, who came to Chenghuan Palace, sneaking, doesn't seem to be serious.

Guo Cong understood and asked the waiters to retreat.

"Imperial concubine, elder brother, do you know? The second prince, Guo Kai, was imprisoned by his father in the clan mansion."

An afterthought.

Guo Kai was taken to the clan's mansion, and he met countless court ladies and eunuchs along the way. The news had already spread, who wouldn't know?

Concubine Mei gave Guo Yi an indescribable look.

"Do you know why Guo Kai was arrested? Because he ordered Baxi, the tea eunuch in the palace, to kill Eunuch Chang."

"What did you say?" Concubine Mei Gui said in high spirits, "Come here, bring some tea and melon seeds to the Fifth Prince."

Guo Yi told the story of Guo Kai's collusion with Baxi to kill people: "At first, Baxi didn't want to confess the second prince, so I helped him."

Concubine Mei looked at Guo Cong, and Guo Cong looked at Guo Yi.

Guo Yi said proudly: "Ba Xi is not dead, Guo Wei will definitely rescue him, why not kill Ba Xi, let him think it was Guo Kai who did it, and if he speaks out about colluding with Guo Wei to harm others in a fit of anger, the emperor will definitely be angry. "

"Why did you hurt Baxi?"

"I sent someone to deliver food to the cell. The food and drinks were poisonous. Then I told him that the second prince brought him the food. The second prince quickly rescued him. He was unprepared and ate a lot."

Concubine Mei was silent.

Guo Cong was silent.

I didn't realize that Guo Yi, the fifth prince who had just grown up, had such a trick.

Just now I said that these princes are all like melon eggs, Guo Yi is obviously not melon eggs, he is very ripe.

I underestimated him.

Concubine Mei despises Guo Yi a hundred times in her heart, for someone whose mind is taller than her stature, if he can frame Guo Wei, how could he not frame Guo Cong?This person's character is worrying and cannot be ignored.
