"But one year, for so unknown reason, my father was furious and sent my mother to the cold palace, and even wanted to depose her. But he was persuaded to do so by all the civil and military officials. I didn't even start to rember things at that ti." Princess Huaiqing said helplessly:
"Although my mother ca out of the cold palace the next year, my father never went to her bedroom again. My fourth brother was also neglected because of this. And I have never been liked by my father since I was born.
"Concubine Chen is actually a very jealous and petty person. Although the eldest prince was later nad the crown prince, she was still worried and always hostile to and my fourth brother.
"It's not that I'm narrow-minded. Do you know why Lin'an doesn't get along with ?"
Xu Qi'an's heart moved: "Did Concubine Chen instigated it?"
Huaiqing nodded slowly: "Lin'an is deeply loved by my father, and he indulges her in every way. In the first few years, Concubine Chen was worried that the prince's position was unstable, and she often instigated Lin'an to make trouble and make things difficult for ." Poor Lin'an, you must have bullied her badly. Although it was Lin'an who caused the trouble, Xu Qi'an still felt sorry for Lin'an. It's not that I favor Biao Biao. The first wife and the second wife are all flesh.
I just think that with Biao Biao's level, she will be bullied to death by Huaiqing.
On second thought, this may be what Concubine Chen wants. The more she knows her daughter, the more she lets her provoke, and this can achieve the effect.
Imagine that Emperor Yuan Jing dotes on Lin'an, but she is repeatedly bullied by Huaiqing and cries. How can Emperor Yuan Jing not hate Huaiqing?
"What is the reason for your majesty to depose the queen?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"There is no reason, so I was advised to die by the ministers." Huaiqing shook his head.
Deposing the empress is the sa as deposing the crown prince. It is not only the emperor's family affair, but also a national affair. The scholar-officials cannot easily divorce their wives, let alone the empress, who is the mother of the country.
Without a reason, how could the civil and military officials agree to Emperor Yuan Jing's deposing the empress.
But, if there is no reason, would Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly beco furious and want to depose the empress?
There must be a hidden story behind this.
"In which year of Yuan Jing did this happen?" After asking, Xu Qian'an felt that he was too gossipy and added:
"It may be related to the Fufei case. No, I don't doubt the empress's intention."
Princess Huaiqing glanced at him sideways and said lightly: "If you are curious, just ask directly. There are no so many reasons."
Xu Qian'an was a little embarrassed.
"The thirteenth year of Yuan Jing." Huai Qing retracted his gaze, looked into the distance, and said: "As for the reason, I don't know. Even though I asked my mother many tis later, she didn't answer."
The thirteenth year of Yuan Jing, it sounds familiar. Xu Qi'an nodded: "Thank you, Princess, for telling ."
He originally thought that Emperor Yuan Jing did not establish the fourth prince because the crown prince was dull, but now it seems that there are deeper reasons behind it.
Yes, although the crown prince is not particularly smart, how good can the fourth prince be? Well, it is not ruled out that the fourth prince may hide his shortcomings. Go back and ask Duke Wei. With his vicious eyes, he says what the fourth prince is like, and the fourth prince is like that.
After walking a few steps, Huai Qing suddenly said: "Why did you end it in a hurry today? With your ability, you don't have to go ho to "consider"."
Xu Qi'an felt that Huai Qing was more honest with him, and he should also be more honest, which would help maintain a good relationship.
"I just want to delay ti." Xu Qi'an said.
"Delay ti?" Huai Qing frowned.
"Yes," slling the princess's faint body fragrance, Xu Qian'an said helplessly:
"I offended too many people in the Sangpo case and the Yunzhou case. His Majesty didn't like either. He originally planned to confer the title of Viscount. But it was cancelled because of my resurrection.
"Later, His Majesty promised that as long as the case of Concubine Fu was investigated carefully, he would re-confer the title of Changle County Master."
It's really hard for .
"Do you think your father will break his promise?" Princess Huaiqing agreed, "This plan is good. If you don't confer the title one day, you will delay it one day."
Xu Qian'an looked at her unexpectedly. It was worthy of Wei Yuan's day. This idea was very synchronized.
The so-called "the emperor does not joke" does not an that the emperor will not lie. It describes the national policy and imperial edict issued by the emperor.
Therefore, if Emperor Yuan Jing does not confer the title one day, Xu Qian'an will delay it one day, so as not to let the dog emperor break his promise.
"It's getting late. I'll go back to the mansion first. "Xu Qian'an glanced at the sky. If he returned ho now, he could still catch up with lunch.
"Yes." Huaiqing nodded
On the other side, Emperor Yuan Jing's bedroom.
Half an hour before lunch, Emperor Yuan Jing returned to his bedroom after finishing his ditation. His companion ran in happily, smiling:
"Your Majesty, there has been a major progress in the case of Concubine Fu. There has been a major progress."
Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned, and imdiately put on a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Speak."
The old eunuch relayed the information reported by the young eunuch to Emperor Yuan Jing without missing a word. The latter listened silently and did not express his opinion.
"Your Majesty," the old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said: "I dare to ask, is the prince innocent?"
Emperor Yuan Jing shook his head slightly: "It's too early. In just two days, he was able to initially understand the case. Xu Qian'an is indeed a talent, but he is a little more thoughtful.
||
He snorted coldly and said, "Go and urge the cabinet to draft the imperial edict as soon as possible. There is no need to choose an auspicious day."
Last ti he asked the old eunuch to convey the imperial edict to the cabinet, and the cabinet accepted it, but delayed it on the grounds that there was no auspicious day recently.
"Yes, sir."
Second Uncle Xu, who was in charge of the daily patrol, returned to the mansion with his helt in his arms, and the sword on his waist swayed with his steps.
There was a half-hour break at noon. As the head of a hundred households, Xu Pingzhi would return to the mansion to have a al and drink so tea.
The kitchen was still busy with lunch. My aunt was planting the newly bought Clivia in the backyard. She was wearing a light blue Luoshang and a pleated long skirt of the sa color. The dress was embroidered with complicated cloud patterns.
When she bent down to plant orchids, her slender waist and plump buttocks were highlighted.
Second Uncle Xu held his helt and stood not far away. He cleared his throat: "Madam, I'm
hungry. Go to the kitchen to urge them."
Aunt planted flowers by herself and ignored him.
"Madam?"
"What are you shouting about?" Aunt said with a cold expression: "Is Lord Xu going to
socialize with his colleagues tonight and not coming back?"
Second Uncle Xu was stunned: "Madam, what are you talking about?"
After planting the last Clivia, Aunt clapped her hands, pinched her waist, and smiled coldly:
"What's the saying? Yes, blood is thicker than water. Your nephew, even after he beca rich, never forgot you and secretly gave you money." Second Uncle Xu was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself that it was a long ti ago that Dalang gave money. It was before he went to Yunzhou. Why did you dig up this old account?
"No way, Dalang just jumped out of the coffin yesterday. He went out that day and didn't co back at night. How could he have ti to give money?"
Uncle Xu would definitely not admit it, even if there was one, let alone it was a fabricated
story.
When Auntie heard this, she was furious, her eyebrows were raised, and she said loudly: "Xu Pingzhi, you really want to take fifty taels of private money and go to the brothel secretly. "Erlang told this morning that Xu Ningyan secretly gave you fifty taels. I thought if you admitted it, it would be a one-shot deal, but I didn't expect you really wanted to keep it. "You don't admit it, right? Will Erlang lie to ? Xu Pingzhi, you have no conscience. I run this family, work hard, and raise your unlucky nephew. Is this how you repay ?" "Where is Erlang? Let him co out." Uncle Xu was angry.
"Bah, Erlang is catching up on his sleep, don't bother him, don't change the subject, fifty taels, are you going to hand it over or not?"
"I will, madam, don't be angry. "Uncle Xu walked into the bedroom dejectedly. In order to prevent his aunt from finding the place where he hid the banknotes, he walked quickly. After entering the bedroom, he went straight to Xu Lingyin's small room and lifted up his daughter's bedding. Underneath was all his private money, a total of eighty taels. Uncle Xu gritted his teeth and took out two twenty-tael and two five-tael banknotes. At this ti, he suddenly saw a bag of green tangerines on the small table beside the bed.
In Xu Pingzhi's eyes, green tangerines are not simple tangerines, so he is particularly sensitive to green tangerines and imdiately beca suspicious.
"Green tangerines are sour and astringent, usually used to make dicine. Why buy them for
no reason? And put them in Lingyin's room. "
With doubts flashing in his mind, Uncle Xu left the wing room, returned to the yard, and
obediently handed over the banknotes.
Aunt's face was slightly relieved, she snorted, took out a delicate little purse from her bosom,
and put away the banknotes.
Xu Pingzhi asked: "Why are there green tangerines on Lingyin's table? Did Dalang buy
them?"
"It was Erlang who bought them."
Fifty taels arrived, and Aunt said with satisfaction.
Erlang bought them, why did Erlang buy this thing? His purpose for buying green tangerines
should be different from mine, right!
Uncle Xu's heart moved: "Erlang was the sa as Dalang last night, and he didn't co back
all night, right."
"Erlang went out to socialize with his colleagues. As for your nephew, who knows where his ghost has gone. "Aunt rolled her eyes.
If it weren't for the social death he had experienced a few tis before, Xu Pingzhi would
have deeply agreed with his wife's words. But now, he knows what kind of person his son is. Dalang didn't co back all night, and Erlang didn't co back all night either. According to my understanding of Dalang, he probably went to the Jiaofangsi, but the green oranges were bought by Erlang.
"Erlang slls like oranges, right?" Xu Pingzhi asked casually.
Aunt nodded indifferently, admiring the Clivia she planted.
The answer is obvious. It was Dalang who taught Erlang. If nothing unexpected happened,
Dalang betrayed , so Erlang made up a fictitious private money to blackmail , and even dared to calculate Laozi.
Xu Pingzhi said in a deep voice: "It seems that Erlang has a headache recently."
"Huh?" Aunt looked at her blankly, she was still very concerned about her son.
"Green tangerines can soothe the spirit, treat headaches, and have many other benefits.
Otherwise, this thing is sour and astringent, and people still sell it?" Xu Pingzhi said. Green tangerines do have dicinal value, but the cure for headaches was made up by Uncle
Xu. Anyway, his wife, who has never been involved in school and has not read much, can't see through it.
"It must be that the pressure of the Spring Examination is too great." Aunt was imdiately
distressed.
"Madam, Erlang has not yet started a family. You, as a mother, should take good care of him and don't fiddle with flowers and plants all day long." Uncle Xu taught: "This is what Erlang bought to eat himself. Why did you put it in Lingyin's room?"
Aunt is not the kind of loving mother. Maybe because of her beauty, she is particularly arrogant and spoiled. Her care for her children is far from the level of caring for them.
That's why she is often annoyed by the annoying Xu Lingyin. Whenever she eats, she leaves her young daughter to Lu'e to take care of her and eats happily. "Erlang gave it to Lingyin himself. I thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so I put it in her room and waited for Fangtang to co back to eat it." Aunt explained. "Okay, stop talking. Hurry up and take the green oranges to the kitchen and ask the cooks to
make soup. Erlang will need it when he wakes up. Oh, and make a bowl for Dalang as well." After Xu Pingzhi finished speaking, he hurriedly added:
"This soup is not delicious. Dalang probably won't want it. You, as his aunt, can't control him.
You can ask Lingyue to make it together. When he cos back in the evening, he won't drink
it."
Aunt nodded and twisted her waist to get the green tangerines.
As soon as the lunch in the mansion was ready, Xu Dalang ca back, took off the gong and
sword, threw them on the ground, sat at the table, and greeted:
"Is the second uncle back for lunch now?"
"I will co back to eat in the future. I just received the appointnt this morning. I will no
longer
patrol the outer city from tomorrow, but the inner city." Xu Pingzhi drank the soup
with a cold expression.
From the outer city to the inner city, the position has not changed, but the treatnt has been
improved by one grade.
"Good, good!"
Xu Qian'an took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Lu'e, wondering what happened to
the second uncle today, he looked unhappy.
At this ti, Xu Erlang ca out sleepily, glanced at his eldest brother, and the two brothers
understood each other tacitly.
"Dad, did you quarrel with mother today? "Xu Erlang said tentatively, sitting down as he said
this.
"Humph, none of you can make worry less. Erlang is still the best, after all, he was born
from my mother's belly." Aunt glared at the uncle and nephew.
Xu Erlang's mouth curled up slightly.
Xu Pingzhi looked at his aunt's personal maid calmly and said, "Lv'e, go to the kitchen to see
if the soup is ready."
Lv'e responded obediently and walked out of the side hall.
"What soup?"
Xu Qi'an, who had spent all his money last night, asked with great interest.
"It's for you and Erlang to replenish your body." said his aunt.
Xu Qi'an and Xu Xinnian looked at each other and felt bad. How did our aunt (mother) know
that we wanted to replenish our bodies?
Not long after, Lv'e ca in with a large pot of soup, and the strong sour sll hit us.
A large porcelain bowl was placed on the table, and sliced green tangerines were floating in
the orange soup, without even peeling the skin.
Auntie personally served soup to Xu Xinnian, complaining: "Erlang, why didn't you tell
about your headache? I'm about to take the imperial examination. I'm wrong. I didn't take
good care of you."
"This green tangerine soup is specially made for you."
Green tangerine soup?!
This, isn't this the green tangerine I bought? Xu Xinnian looked confused, thinking how can
green tangerines be used to make soup? Isn't this going to kill people?
"Mom, I have a headache because I drank too much. I was socializing with colleagues last
night." Xu Xinnian looked at his elder brother with a guilty conscience.
Who ca up with the dark dish of green tangerine soup? Xu Qian'an almost laughed out loud
and said seriously:
"Green tangerine soup is very nutritious. Erlang must drink more."
"You have it too." Second Uncle Xu said indifferently: "This soup was made by Lingyue and
your aunt with great effort."
nạn n
A big question mark appeared in Xu Qian'an's mind.
"I am a martial artist in the realm of spiritual cultivation, do I need this thing?" Xu Qian'an
asked back.
"Brother!" Xu Lingyue said softly: "Just drink one bowl, I have been stewing it for a long
ti."
Xu Qian'an couldn't help but look at his younger brother.
The younger brother was also looking at him.
Both brothers hoped that the other would rise up.

"Ton ton ton ton ton"
In the end, they both drank a big bowl, choked with tears, and their stomachs churned.
"Hahahaha, let's eat." Uncle Xu drank a little wine and showed a simple smile
