Ajiu

Chapter 59
"Father, I still want to beat her up." The tenth prince felt puzzled.

"Xiao Shi, for the sake of your three younger brothers." The emperor reminded in a gentle voice.Whether she is good or not, she is the biological mother of your three younger brothers.

The tenth prince nodded, "Okay, for my brother's sake, I won't annoy her anymore." The emperor felt relieved.

The ten princes did not allow the emperor to ride in a sedan chair, and dragged him slowly along the corridor, "Young junior sister was almost snatched away, and the teacher's wife must have been frightened." The emperor thought so deeply, and ordered his servant to send Lin Youhui out of the palace and back to his residence. Reward a hundred pieces of brocade and ten dendrobium pearls, which is shocking.

Concubine Qiu acted in a disorderly manner, which was quite embarrassing. The emperor's move can be seen as an apology for his favorite concubine.

"Father, I don't want to be crowned king, the ceremony is very tiring." The tenth prince complained.

"Then, it won't be sealed. After two years, when Xiao Shi is old and strong, the ceremony will be held." The emperor smiled awkwardly and agreed.

The ten princes are not crowned kings, so the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth of course have to wait. At least for now, Concubine Qiu still only has three princes, not three sons who are princes.

For the Tenth Prince, there is no difference at all whether or not to be crowned king, and when to be crowned king.He is the biological son of Empress Zhang, and he is naturally more noble than other concubine princes, so he doesn't need the position of prince to increase his majesty.

Concubine Qiu Gui is different.For every benefit her sons gained, her mother gained more honor.If the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth princes are unknown in the palace, who would believe that she is the favorite concubine in the palace?

The cancellation of the original canonization of the prince would have no effect on the tenth prince, but to Concubine Qiu and the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth princes, it would be embarrassing.The status of the ten princes does not need to be proved, they are not.

Concubine Qiu Gui was still complacent and arrogant yesterday, "My son was crowned king when he was young, and I will be an imperial concubine!" Today, all the honors and favors she was looking forward to were all gone, and she would never get them again.

It was not a severe punishment, but it was definitely a heavy blow to Concubine Qiu, who had been used to being arrogant in recent years.The emperor's love has already made Concubine Qiu Gui forget her surname and name. Now, she can probably recall: a concubine who fell into the Xingguo mansion, was almost moldy in the corner, what she owned and what she relied on, But the emperor's favor.Without the emperor's favor, she has nothing and is nothing.

The emperor can pamper her or neglect her.

The emperor said that she couldn't do things, but if she insisted on doing them, she would pay the price.

The emperor is not her father, so he will not pamper her unconditionally and limitlessly.

The tenth prince accompanied the emperor back to the Qianqing Palace, and saw that the ministers were still waiting in place, and among them happened to be Su Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.The tenth prince helped the emperor to sit down, and asked Su Tai solemnly, "Lord Su, what happened to the ceremony that His Majesty ordered you to prepare for the crowning of the king?" Looking at the emperor, the emperor nodded at him with a smile, and the tenth prince told Su Tai old-fashionedly, "Lord Su, this matter is suspended, and we will discuss it in two years."

Su Tai is naughty, he can't obey the tenth prince in front of the emperor, and he also knows that the tenth prince is the empress' favorite young son, so he didn't dare to refute his face, and bowed with a smile, "After I got your majesty's letter, The preparations will begin immediately. If you want to suspend the operation, please ask His Majesty the Tenth Highness to ask His Majesty for a letter, and I will act according to your Majesty's letter."

What he said was very righteous in itself, and he was full of smiles, which made it hard not to feel good.The tenth prince reprimanded him: "Even if I make a prince, the ministers will still be named in front of the prince but not professed as ministers. What is the reason for you to proclaim your ministers in front of me now?"

Su Tai's forehead was sweating, and he knelt down to apologize.The tenth prince snorted, held his head up, and ignored him.

The emperor watched with cold eyes, very satisfied with Xiao Shi, his precious son.Look, my son is not greedy, not vain, and keeps his duty. If the ministers don't treat him with courtesy and just flatter him, he won't like it.

The emperor called the tenth prince, praised him with Wen Yan, and ordered him to go back to school.The tenth prince agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty." He took his leave and left.

The emperor ordered Su Shangshu to get up and continue discussing with the ministers.

The tenth prince walked through the hallway, arrived at Kunning Palace, and told Empress Zhang everything that happened today, "Mother, I really want to beat her up!" Empress Zhang listened carefully from the beginning to the end, and asked with a smile, "Why does Xiao Shi want to beat her up?" What?" Son, tell me why.

"She provokes my teacher's wife and despises me." The tenth prince was annoyed, "Also, she thinks too much about Linjianghou, and is too affectionate towards Linjianghou!"

Queen Zhang smiled meaningfully, "I see."

Too much for the sake of Linjianghou, too much affection for Linjianghou, okay, very good.

After Empress Zhang sent the tenth prince back to class, she sat alone in the side hall for a while, with a slight smile on her lips.Qiu Shi, you seem to be out of luck. I haven't done anything yet, and your luck has already begun.

At dusk, the crown prince and princess came to pay their respects. The crown princess, Tang Shisheng, was dignified and generous, with elegant manners. Standing with the handsome and tall prince, they were clearly a couple.Empress Zhang was happy to see her son and daughter-in-law, but she was unhappy when she thought that they had no son so far.

Empress Zhang reminded Tang tactfully, "Children are important, no matter who gave birth to them, they are all your sons." Tang lowered her head and argued in a low voice, "Second concubines and concubines take turns serving the bed. Somehow, Just nothing happened." Empress Zhang sighed, and ordered a long-faced nanny to take Tang shi to the side hall, and have some private conversations with Tang shi.

Just praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is not enough, how to get pregnant more easily, you have to figure it out carefully.

Empress Zhang and the prince were discussing matters in the palace. Empress Zhang meant to take this opportunity to uproot Concubine Qiu Gui so that she would never be able to stir up trouble again.The crown prince disagreed, "Father will always have a favorite concubine. Without the Qiu family, there will be others. The Qiu family is not shrewd, and the Xingguo government is a bunch of idiots. There is nothing wrong with it. It's good to keep her."

"Besides, we are in a bright place, so we should be quiet and not move. Mother, father...Although he is partial to Qiu, he is not confused. If we do something behind the scenes, it is difficult for him not to find out."

Empress Zhang smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't understand this truth, but I'm just angry." The clay figurines are also somewhat earthy, not to mention that she is the emperor's original wife, the mother of the crown prince and the tenth prince.Concubine Qiu is domineering and domineering, and she has not been pleasing to the eye for a day or two. This time she wants to be promoted to imperial concubine, has a book and a treasure, and competes with the queen, it is really unbearable.

Although it was hard for Empress Zhang to bear this tone, she also knew that what the prince said was right.

"If her sons don't become kings at a young age, and if she doesn't want to be promoted to the so-called imperial concubine, I will endure it for a while longer." Queen Zhang said lightly.

Qiu Shi, originally I could allow you to die in the palace, but you provoked me like this, in the future... unless the emperor can live forever, you will fall into my hands one day.

At that time, the old and new accounts will be settled together!

Empress Zhang was willing to let Concubine Qiu go temporarily, but the Pei and Lin families refused.What?Call my family into the palace and force a four or five-year-old girl to marry?What is the Pei family, what is the Lin family.

The concubine was lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, so she just needs to be a little arrogant in the harem. The queen is generous, and she doesn't have the same knowledge as her.Now that he wants to meddle in the courtier's housework, his hand must be stretched too far.

Lin Shangshu made a special trip to see the emperor, and only said a few words, "Emperor Taizu's death order, even if it is the empress's honor in the harem, he can stop the affairs of the concubines in the palace, that is, outside the palace gate, nothing can happen... The emperor interrupted him with a smile, "I know, it makes sense."

Lin Shangshu wanted to speak again, the emperor ordered his servants to bring several bolts of silk that were only paid in tribute from Suzhou, and a box of high-quality furs from Liaodong.

"I have something to say." Lin Shangshu was coaxed out by the servants, and when he came to the gate of the hall, he still struggled to turn his head.The emperor smiled and waved his hands. The servant understood, and hugged Lin Shangshu like a gust of wind and left.

Lin Shangshu is upright and honest, and he is also winking. The emperor deliberately fooled him, wouldn't he know?As soon as the servant came over, he didn't even wait for the servant to use his strength, he half-pushed and left, but pretended to be aggrieved.

Your Majesty, your beloved concubine is too outrageous, take good care of her!
Seeing Lin Shangshu reluctantly leaving, the emperor laughed loudly.Lao Lin was quite sensible, although he felt aggrieved, he didn't bother too much. If Lao Pei was in Beijing...

The emperor thought about it, Lao Pei was stubborn, and after three sons and eight grandsons, he finally had a baby granddaughter. Being bullied by the Qiu family, Lao Pei would probably give seven or eight memorials in a row, and be righteous Want to punish the Qiu family?
If that's the case, I really lose all face, all face.

The emperor gave Pei Erye [-] treasure notes to show his favor.The treasure banknotes, because the imperial court only distributed them but never recycled them, were almost like waste paper. The treasure banknotes bestowed by the emperor had a symbolic meaning, and there was no benefit at all.Second Master Pei couldn't laugh or cry when he received this reward.

"Anyway, if you know he means sorry, that's it." Lin Youhui pursed his lips and smiled.

Lin Youhui was really tired fighting alone in Guangfu Palace.As soon as the emperor came, he said in an understatement that the Qiu family would marry the Chen family, and no one dared to object to the fact that there was nothing wrong with the Pei family.After the emperor left, Concubine Qiu was stunned, Mrs. Zhu burst into tears, and Lin Youhui was still a little out of breath.

Let you calculate others, now you are dumbfounded.

Lin Youhui felt that although the emperor was not as wise as his father, father-in-law, and husband said, he was not confused or stupid.

After the farce in Guangfu Palace, the emperor stayed alone in Qianqing Palace for three consecutive days without going anywhere.Concubine Qiu brought ginseng soup in person a few times, but she was blocked outside the palace gate by the servants, "Your Majesty, I don't see you." Concubine Qiu returned angrily.

All the ministers in the cabinet breathed a sigh of relief: the emperor no longer mentioned any imperial concubines, and even the four little princes were canceled in advance to be crowned kings. It was very clean.

There was no one who dared to disobey the emperor's will in the Xingguo mansion. They picked and picked among several girls of the right age in the family, and finally chose Qiu Gui, the son's concubine, who was only seven years old. , and Linjiang Hou Mansion exchanged Geng stickers.

After this matter was settled, Mrs. Zhu and Qiu Mei collapsed on the ground together, very happy. "It's a good thing it's not me, it's a good thing it's not me." Qiu Mei was terrified.

The concubine's daughter of the Duke's Mansion married a concubine of the Hou's Mansion, and she was ashamed to death.

Not only Mrs. Zhu was very happy, but also Mrs. Linjianghou was relieved.Qiu Gui is an inconspicuous concubine, and she is not favored in the Qiu family. The eldest brother will not embarrass her own sister, who is a compatriot, because of her concubine, definitely not.

Madam Linjiang Hou smiled triumphantly, "This is your Majesty's word of mouth, the supreme honor." Mrs. Chong Tai and Linjiang Hou showed off again and again, and happily arranged the exchange of Geng Tie.

Chen Lingyun jumped up a bit, the original hostility between his eyebrows was replaced by forbearance, and he looked very calm at first glance.He looked coldly at the smiling Qiu Shi, and really wanted to rush up and tear this woman apart and snatch his Geng Tie back.

He didn't want to marry that Qiu Gui whom he had never met before.He has been to Qiu's house, but Qiu Gui has never shown his face. It can be seen that in Qiu's house, he is a dispensable person, and he may be too ugly to see others, so he does not care.

However, he is not the little boy who would throw a knife at Mrs. Linjiang Hou in a fit of anger a few years ago.He grew up, studied hard in the academy, experienced storms, and learned to forbear.

Let's see if I will marry that ugly monster when I grow up!Chen Lingyun snorted and walked away.

He went to the martial arts hall to practice swords, and a sword danced into a ball of white light.

Mrs. Linjianghou was smiling, and the heart of Linjianghou on the hospital bed was like a knife.This woman, she is determined to destroy Ling'er, she, she actually set up the concubine daughter of the Qiu family as his wife for Ling'er.The concubine of the Qiu family is a poor child who doesn't even care about her biological mother's illness...

"My good sister, she had to walk sideways in the palace a few days ago, saying that she was going to be promoted to the imperial concubine." Madam Linjiang looked at her husband with a smile, and said gloatingly: "It's good to make such a fuss, it's not just her The imperial concubine was ruined, and even the crowning ceremony of the three little princes on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth was cancelled! She really lost her wife and lost her army. Lord Hou, your backer has fallen and can't help you gone."

Mrs. Linjianghou knew that Concubine Qiu was helping Chen Lingyun, and Concubine Qiu was supporting her concubine just to slap her in the face. Of course she was dissatisfied.

However, just like she hated Chen Yong but still hoped that he would live a few more years, she did not wish for Concubine Qiu Gui to be unlucky.For nothing else, the Qiu family has nothing else to rely on, only Concubine Qiu Gui.

The men in the family are all idle and incompetent, what else can they do if they don't point at Concubine Qiu Gui in the palace.

The reason why she sneered was because she held her breath in her heart, it was really uncomfortable and she wanted to complain.

Linjiang Hou has been lying on the hospital bed, half dead, she didn't take it to heart.

If she knew that these words would take away the last hope of Linjianghou and make Linjianghou vomit blood and die, she would not have said it.

She has a son, but the son is still young.

When the son was young, the husband was still useful.

Chen Yong, Marquis of Linjiang with a pale face and dim eyes, Chen Yong, Marquis of Linjiang who had been lying on the hospital bed, sat up suddenly after hearing her words, and asked tremblingly: "You, are you telling the truth? Of? Sister, did she really fall?"

Madam Linjianghou was startled, "Can you sit up?" You have been lying down for a long time.

Chen Yong stared at her for a while, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards.

Lord Linjiang died just like that.

Do not look down.
