Concubine like a house

Chapter 93 Delicate Dice An Red Bean (2)
After finishing the words, a "poof" laughter came from the hall at the right time, which came from Concubine Ye Gui on the right side of Emperor Nie.She lightly clapped her palms to express her agreement: "As expected of Mrs. Chuxiu, this opinion is deeply sympathetic to this palace. Marquis Li Xin and his wife are deeply in love with each other, even if he dies young, he still keeps it in his heart. Now, being a widow is much more difficult."

Originally, the words just before Chuxiu made the empress look bad, but now Concubine Ye Gui added fuel and jealousy, which made her face even more sullen.

Chuxiu cast a thankful look at Concubine Ye Gui, and greeted her in the mouth: "The concubine is a concubine who is loved by thousands of people, and there are two princes, King Mu and King Chengjun, who are at her knees. I am really envious of this concubine."

"I am also very envious of Madam! I ask myself that at this age, I still don't know how to behave. It's all because the Holy Majesty is considerate and forgiving... Otherwise, I would have been a widow a long time ago." Concubine Ye Gui glanced lightly at Emperor Nie. She glanced at her and smiled again, "But having a child under my knee is indeed a comforting thing."

Chuxiu and Concubine Ye Gui sang together, choking the empress until Ming had nothing to say.As we all know, Empress Ming's only son, the eldest prince, died young, and the King Fu whom she secretly supported also failed in the rebellion. Now she has no heir, which is more sad than losing her husband's favor.It has to be said that Concubine Ye Gui is very good at handling her pain points.

But what's strange is that the empress and concubine's jealousy was put on the bright side, but Emperor Nie kept watching with a smile on his face, without any interference or displeasure; looking at the princes in the hall, they were also very indifferent, as if I've watched this passage a thousand times.

It was only then that Chuxiu realized that no matter whether she was here tonight or not, Concubine Ye Gui and the Empress Tomorrow would never stop.Now that she understands this truth, Chuxiu doesn't care much about it. After she understands what the other party says, she can at most perfunctory a few words, which is really quite clean.Emperor Nie also came to sing and dance at the right time, and chatted with all the princes about the family life, leaving Xiuxiu to be bored, still didn't understand why Emperor Nie invited himself to the banquet.

Is it just for the show?Competing with Concubine Ye Gui after seeing the light?Chuxiu couldn't help but glance at Mu Wang who was sitting opposite him again, this time he didn't see Mu Wang looking back, but found that Cheng Jun Wang was looking at him.Chuxiu questioned him with puzzled eyes, but the other party seemed guilty, buried his head in sipping a glass, and did not respond.

Tonight's palace banquet is really strange and tense, and Chuxiu has no choice but to adapt to all changes.It wasn't until the end of the palace banquet that the Empress of Ming Dynasty suddenly became interested again, and held on to Chuxiu again: "In the past, I only heard the name of my wife, but I just saw her today, and I know that she is the most beautiful lady in the world. With your talent and appearance, don't you want to live forever?" To guard Yun's forever?"

Why did you mention "widowhood" again?Chuxiu was a little impatient, silent and unwilling to respond.

Unexpectedly, Empress Ming could be aggressive: "Yun Mansion and Mu Wang's Mansion are located in the same place, and Madam is a woman, so Mu Wang should help him a lot." After saying that, she looked at Emperor Nie pretending to be comforting, "No wonder Madam Chuxiu would support her. King Mu... According to my concubine, with the help of the Yun family, King Mu will surely unify the north and the south smoothly, so you can rest assured."

At this point, Chuxiu finally understood what Empress Ming meant.She smiled meaningfully at herself, and her rude words just now were not aimed at Yun, nor because she knew that she was Han Chu... She was targeting Mu Wang!

Empress Ming said so much in a roundabout way, but she wanted to accuse herself of having an affair with King Mu.First of all, he said that he supported Mu Wang for his meritorious service, and then repeatedly mentioned that he was young and widowed, and that Yun Mansion and Mu Wang Mansion were in the same city and helped each other... It turned out that he wanted to pour dirty water on himself and Mu Wang!
Others can bear it, but when it comes to "chastity", Chuxiu will never allow others to gossip!She admitted that she was annoyed, and looked at Mu Wang with a gloomy expression, his phoenix eyes glowed with a black cold light, which was quite frightening.

Seeing this, Chuxiu gained a lot of confidence. She knew that she should keep silent at this moment, and let King Mu explain and refute, but she couldn't do it, and couldn't bear it anymore. Empress Ming touched her bottom line...Chu Xiuzang Yu's hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, and she wanted to get up to refute, but someone was a step ahead of her—at this moment, Nie Peixiao stood up suddenly, and said to Empress Ming with a half-smile: "The empress mother is very right. My son I finally understand why Miss Ming married the Helian family."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Seeing Nie Peixiao mentioning her niece Ming Ying, Ming Hou couldn't help but listen carefully. "If my son remembers correctly, the Ming Mansion and Helian Mansion were only half a street away. Presumably, Lord Helian helped you a lot before your mother got married. That's why you know how to repay your kindness and insist on sending Miss Ming to you. Promised to Lord Helian's only son. I don't know if I guessed it right?" Nie Peixiao smiled, not hiding her irony.

Empress Ming suddenly changed color: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Spend money to support Seventh Brother's rescue. In the same way, Ming Mansion and Helian Mansion are closer, so didn't Lord Helian help you before? Then why did you marry your own niece?"

These words were refuted to the point of being impeccable, and Empress Ming's delicate face has gradually become distorted.However, Nie Peixiao looked at her without fear, and the smile on her lips became even wider: "The queen mother accused my son of talking nonsense, but my son learned it from you. The queen mother is the empress of Nanxi, and her mother respects the world, her words and deeds It can be set as a model for the whole country. Could it be that my son did not learn the right thing?"

Now that Empress Ming and Concubine Ye Gui have already blatantly turned against each other, as the son of Concubine Ye Gui, Nie Peixiao naturally disdains to maintain harmony with Empress Ming.

Hearing this, Empress Ming was already trembling with anger, and because outsiders were present, she couldn't get angry, so she just sneered: "Good! Good! A good son brought up by Concubine Ye Gui."

"It's not as good as the mother's mother." Nie Peixiao was very calm.Empress Mingzhen was repeatedly poked at the pain of her son, so she gave Concubine Ye Gui a vicious look.

The latter pretended not to see it, stroking the jade bracelet on his wrist, and said to Nie Peixiao with a slight smile: "Xiao'er, you are drunk." It is pampering.Nie Peixiao responded with a smile: "Well, my son is a little drunk and lost his composure in front of the father." Emperor Nie waved his hand and ordered him to sit down with a vague expression.Chuxiu saw all this tonight and was very surprised.If she hadn't experienced and seen it with her own eyes, she would not have known that the conflicts in Yingyuan Palace had intensified to this point, and even the etiquette on face was no longer maintained.But since that's the case, what kind of family banquet is there?It's a good New Year's Eve, isn't it all about having your own life?Chu Xiu felt disgusted by this, so she simply calmed down and wanted to find an excuse to leave the meeting first. "It's all quiet, the New Year's Eve family dinner, just say something that makes people laugh." Finally, Emperor Nie opened his mouth, but smiled at Chuxiu, "Ma'am, don't blame, the Queen and King Chengjun have no malicious intentions, but I just wanted to show my compliments to Mrs.

commend?It was the first time Chuxiu heard such a compliment, but she didn't want to make trouble again, so she forced a smile: "How could it be? Your Majesty just joked."

Emperor Nie continued to laugh and said: "Actually, what the empress said is correct. The Yun family supported half of Nanxi's property, and now they have done a great job in saving her. The madam really deserves it. It is really 'women don't give up to men'."

Tonight's topic is finally here!Chuxiu couldn't help raising his spirits: "My lord is absurd." Nie Di laughed: "I taught my wife a joke. I invited my wife to the banquet today, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to reward... But, the Yun family is the most wealthy in the world. Since I don't serve as an official, I don't know what to reward. Gold, silver and jewelry, high officials and rich salary, I'm afraid the Yun family won't like it."

Emperor Nie pointed to King Mu who was seated next, and smiled again: "You and Madam are in the same city, and you have some contacts on weekdays, why don't you tell me what is the most suitable reward?"

Mu Wang pretended to be deliberate when he heard the words, then slowly got up, and replied: "In my humble opinion, Mrs. Chuxiu, as the mistress of the house, naturally values ​​the reputation of the Yun family the most. Why don't you make a plan to build a few memorial archways in Yanlan City? , and give it to the Yun family with the imperial pen, so that the world can watch it, and it will surely become a good story in the world."

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Nie immediately applauded: "It really is a good idea! Please explain carefully." King Mu's face did not change, and he continued to smile: "First, the reason why Yun's support for his minister's rescue is for Loyalty deserves a "Loyalty Archway"; secondly, the Yun family is a wealthy businessman in the world, and he should be given an "Integrity Archway"; '; Fourth..."

King Mu paused for a moment, then looked at Chuxiu: "Fourth, madam is chaste and strong, and she is unswerving, and she deserves a 'Chastity Archway' the most."

A chastity archway can not only block the mouths of the world, and prevent the world from getting involved in an affair with Mrs. Chuxiu; moreover, it can also stop the wishful thinking of the ninth younger brother Nie Peixiao.King Mu thought that this idea couldn't be better.Presumably, Mrs. Chuxiu would not refuse.

"Good! It is indeed a good idea! The four memorial archways of loyalty, honesty, charity, and chastity must be built with the best stone materials, and they will become the landmarks of Yanlan City!" Nie Di laughed loudly, and turned to look out. Xiu, "I think this is a good idea, what do you think Madam?"

Giving memorial archway?This is indeed a good thing.But inexplicably, Chuxiu only felt a burst of sadness welling up in his heart.It is said that "the heavenly family is ruthless", and today she really saw it.Even if he is as decisive as King Mu, he still cherishes his reputation so much. After being splashed with dirty water, he only thinks about how he can get out.

Chuxiu suddenly felt that he was stupid, that he was completely used as a target tonight.King Mu had already seen through Empress Ming's mind and knew that she suspected that the two had an affair, so he invited her into the palace to hear all this with his own eyes, and then clarified through Emperor Nie, and gave four memorial archways as a token of friendship.

If you just look at what happened tonight, Chuxiu only feels resentment.I was involved in power struggles for no reason, was used face to face, and was crushed by several archways and could not resist... But in the long run, these four archways are beneficial to the Yun family.Besides, I have no intention of remarrying, and it would be a good thing to have an extra chastity archway, not only to stop Youyou's mouth, but also to make Mrs. Tai feel at ease.

After all, Yun's prestige is more important in Chuxiu's heart than her own pride.Besides, with this chastity archway, Shen Yu's thoughts can be completely broken.So Chuxiu straightened his body and got up from his seat, saluting slowly: "My concubine is very grateful for the grace of the Holy One, this is the luck of the Yun family."

Yes!She is the head mistress of the Yun family, so she must not be underestimated!Especially, don't let King Mu look down on you!An idea flashed through Chuxiu's mind, she suddenly raised her head to look at Emperor Nie, smiled forcefully and said, "However, I still have one more request."

"Madam, but it's okay." "Since the erection of the memorial archways was proposed by His Royal Highness Mu Wang, I implore King Mu to stamp the inscriptions and seals on these four memorial archways.

As the Empress said, the Yun Mansion and Mu Wang's Mansion are in the same city, if His Royal Highness Mu Wang personally handles this matter, it will be more reasonable, and it will be more able to stop the villain's mouth. "Chuxiu spoke while glancing at Mu Wang from the corner of his eye, his words were powerful and frank.

She didn't care much about Emperor Nie's personal inscription with his imperial pen, it was naturally not as good as King Mu's inscription.Now he, Nie Qi, is only the crown prince of Nanxi and the prince of Yizhou, but in the near future, he will be the founding king of the country, and his name will be passed down through the ages!Obviously, Mu Wang's characters are more valuable than Nie Di's characters, and they will also become Yun's talisman in disguise.

It was King Mu who forced her first, so she can't be blamed for turning against the general!Tangtang Mu Wang himself proposed to build a memorial archway for the Yun family. If he praised Yun's "loyalty, integrity, and good deeds" in his own hand, Chuxiu also wanted to see if he would slap himself in the mouth after he ascended the throne in the future!
Chuxiu pretended to be sincere and looked at Emperor Nie. Seeing that he hesitated slightly, he couldn't help sighing sadly: "As the empress said, there are villains in this world who want to destroy the reputation of His Royal Highness King Mu and my concubine. .If this chastity memorial archway is inscribed by you, it has the intention of concealing it, which will make the world speculate. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell has to be untied. It would be better if His Royal Highness King Mu personally inscribed it, so as to truly return my innocence!"

After finishing speaking, Chuxiu looked sideways at King Mu, and asked calmly, "I don't know what you think, Your Highness?" King Mu naturally knew that Chuxiu's words were just superficial rhetoric, and her real intention was to force him to express his position. It will not embarrass the Yun family, and these four archways are iron proof.King Mu felt that he was being rebelled against by the army out of Xiuxiu, so he couldn't help squinting his phoenix eyes to meet him.

Although the latter is a weak girl, her demeanor is extremely firm, as if telling him what it means to "repay the other with the same way".

King Mu suddenly became angry, and he was about to say a cold refusal.But at this moment, he suddenly saw a drop of tears in Chu Xiu's eyes, like grievance, like resentment, shooting straight to the bottom of his heart.At this moment, this expression, very much like someone, suddenly caused his chest to throb.

He thought of Luan Su.And Luan Su's mother clan is the Yun family.With just this sudden thought, Chuxiu in front of him seemed to have become the person in his heart.By chance, he compromised, the murderous intent disappeared from the phoenix eyes, and he nodded slowly with a smile: "Madam's words are very true, this king is very honored." King Mu agreed!Chuxiu finally let out a long sigh of relief. Before he could say a word of thanks, he only heard a "bang", Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun, shook his right hand, and the wine glass slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.Chuxiu subconsciously looked at the wine glass, but he didn't know what material it was made of, it was not only not broken when it fell on the ground, but rolled a few times and fell to the center of the hall.For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the cup, and then they turned to Nie Peixiao together.

Chuxiu took a look.With just one glance, what I saw was the gloomy, cold, and sharp handsome face of Prince Cheng.What is Nie Peixiao's expression?Chuxiu was a little puzzled, and looking at Emperor Nie and the others, they also looked at him with puzzled expressions.Concubine Ye was eager to love her son, she hurriedly got up and asked, "What's wrong with you?" However, Nie Peixiao stared blankly at King Mu with a gloomy expression, as if she had never heard of it.How could King Mu not know what Nie Peixiao meant?He was afraid that this younger brother was used to being a prodigal, and would do something out of the ordinary in public, so he hurriedly smiled at the emperor and concubine on the altar: "It seems that the ninth brother is really drunk." King Mu understood, what happened tonight There are winners and losers at palace banquets.He lent out Xiuxiu to get rid of his stigma, and Chuxiu also borrowed him to preserve the glory of the Yun family. He and Mrs. Chuxiu were barely evenly matched.The loser seems to be the queen, but in fact the real loser is his ninth brother Nie Peixiao.

A chastity archway has sentenced the love of Chengjun King to death...
