After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

The news that Xiao Huai was not dead quickly spread throughout Shangjing.Many families began to reorient how to get along with Yongning Hou Mansion.

Before Xiao Huai died, the emperor's attitude towards the Yongning Hou Mansion was both gracious and wary.Now that Xiao Huai is not dead and has made great contributions, the emperor should be more vigilant towards the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Moreover, Xiao Huai has not returned to Beijing now, and he does not know what his attitude is, so most of the dignitaries respect the Yongning Hou Mansion but do not plan to have more contacts.

Everyone was waiting and watching, and the business of the guild hall was not as good as before.But the ones that are close to each other on weekdays, such as Nanling Bo's Mansion and General Xiang's Mansion, as well as Qi Mansion and Xiaoyao Wang Mansion, are still the same as before.

Not to mention Tang Guogong's Mansion and Wuyang Bo's Mansion, everyone is in-laws, and both are prosperous and all are lost.

Today, Tang Shuyi was chatting with Xiao Yuzhu about where Xiao Yuming had gone, and whether the people sent out had found Xiao Yuchen. Steward Zhao trotted over to report, "Ma'am, an imperial edict has come from the palace."

"Who is going to deliver the decree?" Tang Shuyi stood up and asked.

"It's Eunuch Jiao who is in front of the emperor, and he brought a lot of rewards," Zhao steward said.

Tang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she didn't come to find fault.She brought Xiao Yuzhu to the front hall, Jiao Kangsheng quickly saluted them when he saw them, then looked around and asked, "Is Second Young Master here?"

Tang Shuyi sighed heavily, "I was in a hurry. I knew his father was not dead, so I made a noise and went to the northwest. I didn't watch him and ran away. I just sent someone out to look for him."

Jiao Kangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then you have to find it quickly."

Tang Shuyi sighed, "No, I'm going to die of worry."

Jiao Kangsheng followed with a sigh, and then said: "Mrs. Hou, accept the order."

Tang Shuyi hurriedly pulled Xiao Yuzhu to kneel down, and Jiao Kangsheng began to read the imperial decree.The general meaning is that Xiao Huai endured humiliation for the sake of Daqian Dynasty, and now he has made great contributions, so he should be rewarded, and then there will be a series of rewards.

Today's emperor also has merits, such as saving face.This is good for face, look at this reward, it is really very generous.Gold, silver, jewellery, silk and satin, and a large amount of land are really extraordinary.

It has to be said that Xiao Huai's ability to make money is really top-notch.

Should this be considered the joint property of the husband and wife after marriage?

Tang Shuyi was thinking wildly, and asked someone to move the things into the warehouse.Jiao Kangsheng returned to the palace, and when he saw the emperor, he told the story of how the Daoyongning Hou Mansion delivered the decree.

Hearing that Xiao Yuming had set off for the northwest by himself, the emperor snorted heavily, "Even Xingzhou is useless, doesn't it mean that Xiao Er was not found out of Yongning Hou's mansion? Now that Mrs. Yongning Hou has said it, it means that Xiao Er has already come out Just go."

Lian Xingzhou was the person he sent to watch over the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Jiao Kangsheng lowered his head and pretended he didn't exist. After a while, the emperor said again: "Xiao Huai blamed me for not trusting him, but did he ever trust me? It didn't matter, so he took his son away. Thinking about it, Xiao Yuchen must have gone too." northwest."

The emperor suddenly felt powerless, very powerless.In the past few days, he has been sleepless all night, trying to check and balance Xiao Huai, but there is no good way.Every time at this time, he hated, hated himself for not having a good son.If he could have a son like Xiao Huai, why would he be worried?

He sighed heavily, let alone a son like Xiao Huai, even the dude Xiao Er is changing for the better, but none of his sons are struggling.

At this moment, a young eunuch came in and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, King Sujun is asking to see you."

The emperor frowned. This Prince Su was the younger brother of the late emperor. He had a good relationship with the late emperor. The late emperor gave him the title of county king, but he had no fiefdom and lived in Shangjing all the time.

This King Sujun is the oldest in the royal family, and he is considered the highest in terms of seniority, so his words still carry some weight.

"Come in, please," said the emperor.

The little eunuch went out, and King Su came in after a while.He is more than 80 years old, his hair and beard are all white, but he is very energetic.

The emperor stood up, "Uncle Emperor, how are you doing today?"

King Su Jun was supported by the eunuch to sit down, and said: "I'm fine."

The emperor hummed, "What's the matter with the emperor today?"

The expression on King Sujun's face was a bit indescribable, he said: "Your Majesty, it's a big taboo for a family to have no successors, let alone you, Your Majesty."

The emperor was drinking tea, and after listening to King Su's words, he suddenly felt that the tea soup in his mouth was extremely bitter.He had several sons, but it was said that he had no successors.

Then I heard King Sujun say again: "It's not that the age of the emperor can't be reproduced. Why don't you recruit more women into the palace. Choose some knowledgeable and intelligent ones."

Hearing this, the emperor almost couldn't hold back his face. Is this saying that the women in his harem are stupid, so the sons he gave birth to are also stupid?He wanted to be angry, but he was right, but his sons were all stupid.

After thinking for a while, he said, "What's the emperor's idea?"

"This time, we will select a woman with a good reputation in the capital," Sujun Wang said, "I heard that there is a ranking of talented women in the capital, so I will choose from there."

The emperor drooped his old eyelids to think, and felt that King Su's proposal was not bad.The children born to smart women are more likely to be smart.

"Let me think about what the emperor said." The emperor said.

"Okay." King Sujun took a sip of tea from his cup, and said again: "Your Majesty, it was the late emperor's last wish to conquer Rouli Kingdom. That Rouli Kingdom has always regarded us as fat meat. Taking down Rouli will last for thousands of years." Xiao Huai needs to appease now, not to provoke, if you have any ideas, wait until you take down Rouli Kingdom."

"Uncle, I understand." The emperor said.

Does he want to kill Xiao Huai?Think, dream.But he can't, and he can't do it now.

King Su hummed, and then got up, "I'm here today to talk to the emperor, I'm fine, I'm leaving."

He stepped out, the emperor got up and said: "Jiao Kangsheng, send Su Junwang off."

Jiao Kangsheng hurried over to help King Shangsu go out, the emperor sat there frowning and thinking.

Tang Shuyi didn't know that Tang Guogong's work of "birthing" had already started, and the next day she took Xiao Yuzhu to Huguangxie. Yesterday she made an appointment with Mrs. Nanlingbo and Mrs. Xiang Dajiang to play cards in the guild hall.

When she arrived, Mrs. Nanlingbo and General Xiang's wife hadn't arrived yet, so she took Xiao Yuzhu to the "office" first, and as soon as she sat down, Cuiyun came to report, "Someone asked to see him, and he said he was from the northwest."

Tang Shuyi frowned slightly, and said, "Please come in."
