Raised baby is reborn
Chapter 68
Empress Dowager Sun seems to be soft-tempered, but she is very stubborn when things happen, no matter how much Mingshu persuades her, she refuses to agree.
Ming Shu had no choice but to leave by herself.
After returning to the Tai Chi Hall, the eldest princess also came back.
After the two raised their eyes and looked at each other, they both showed helpless expressions. Mingshu said first: "The queen mother is still angry. I will talk to her later, why are you back?"
"What has Your Majesty been up to these days?" Qin Tangxi's eyes stayed on Mingshu's eyelids, pretending to be surprised: "Your Majesty's eyes are black and blue, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
"Yesterday..." Ming Shu pondered, a look of helplessness appeared on her face, she hesitated to speak, "Sister, I..."
"What's wrong?" Qin Tangxi's heart was lifted high by her, "Are you in trouble?"
"Well, have you ever seen someone get married?" Mingshu whispered.
Not hearing her soft voice for a long time, Qin Tangxi was a little surprised for a moment, but soon got used to it, and said with a smile: "I have seen royal marriages, but I have never seen civil marriages."
The same is true for Mingshu, she has been playing with the eldest princess since she was a child, and she usually goes in and out of official mansions, and folk marriages are only seen in books.
"But you can see him if you want. Your Majesty, change into your clothes, and I will take you to meet him."
"Now?" Mingshu was surprised.
Qin Tangxi nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's now. Da Wei's wedding will be at night, and His Majesty will change clothes and go out of the palace. Maybe we can see each other again."
"Okay, wait for me." Ming Shu nodded quickly, and trotted back to the bedroom with her skirt in hand.
He ran so fast all the way that the palace servants behind him couldn't catch up.
After changing their clothes, the two quietly left the palace.
Weddings are also evening ceremonies, so they are all held at dusk.
The carriage was blocked after entering the alley, Mingshu lifted the curtain, Qin Tangxi smiled and said, "There are people in the alley to greet relatives."
Looking up, there is a man in red clothes sitting in a brand new robe, looking high-spirited, holding a big red flower on the horse's head, followed by a group of people, with drums and drums ringing.
"Where is this going?" Mingshu was curious.
"To meet the bride."
The newcomer walked past the carriage, Ming Shu raised his head to look over, the man looked ordinary, and his whole body was full of joy.
After the welcoming procession left, the carriage followed, following them all the way.
When I arrived at the gate of Yifu, the gate of the mansion was closed tightly, but the lanterns in front of the gate of the mansion were scarlet.
Mingshu was surprised: "Why did you close the door?"
"The customs of the Great Wei Dynasty are intended to be tested."
"Test? What if the man leaves at this time?" Ming Shu was puzzled, especially if there were so many people shutting their doors and making too much noise, it would be a happy event.
Qin Tangxi laughed, "No, if you can't even stand this test, you will definitely be unreliable in the future."
Mingshu glanced at the door of the mansion and said, "Sister, I want to go in."
"No, don't spoil their good deeds. With your thoughts, what do you do if you scare the newcomers away." Qin Tangxi held her down, and Mingshu's thoughts became more and more serious. Maybe the trouble would not end.
Ming Shu leaned against the car window and faintly heard someone reciting poems, so she got out of the car immediately to have a look.Qin Tangxi took her hand and approached with her.
The two squeezed into the crowd, and the door of the mansion opened, and a group of people rushed in immediately, cheering.
"Interesting." Ming Shu said enviously.
Qin Tangxi shook her head helplessly, "Why do you envy them?"
"They are getting married, and they have the orders of their parents." Mingshu regretted, her eyebrows drooping, and she turned to look at the person beside her, "Sister, will you obey your parents' orders?"
"No, I will listen to Your Majesty." Qin Tangxi smiled lightly, with a look of pampering that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, how can it be so easy, the relationship between her and Mingshu is destined to never see the light in this life.
Her gentleness was like flowing water, gurgling and slowly, Mingshu felt relieved in an instant, and whispered in her ear: "We can also have such a marriage."
Marriage... Qin Tangxi's heart skipped a beat, the surroundings were too noisy, but Mingshu's voice was particularly clear.
Emptiness and emptiness, only this word.
Somehow, some things were relieved, she smiled and said, "You really like me?"
"Sister likes me, I like sister, it's not good to let your years of feelings go to waste. Qin Tangxi, the years are still very long, I firmly believe that we will survive until that day." Ming Shu's eyebrows curved, Holding Qin Tangxi's hand slightly, he winked at her, "Let's go in and have a look."
There are people inside and outside the door, and the voices are noisy and bustling. When you enter the door, you can know that it is a courtyard with three entrances.
The two of them walked in along with the people, and along the way they saw people holding red things, red means festive, she said happily: "Red is beautiful."
"Red is dignified and rich." Qin Tangxi responded.
No one in the house knew them, but there were so many guests that they couldn't tell them apart. The two behaved well, and if the master saw them, they would only be the other's family members.
When they walked to the backyard, they saw a large group of people again. Ming Shu pulled Qin Tangxi and walked over.
A woman's shrill voice came from inside: "No, no, read one more."
Ming Shu was curious: "What do you read?"
Qin Tangxi explained her doubts: "A poem for makeup."
As soon as the conversation stopped, I heard the man's deep voice, "I don't know what night it is, so I urge..."
Mingshu stepped on her feet and glanced inside, "Why don't you see the bride?"
"I haven't finished reading the poem, just wait." Qin Tangxi comforted.
The man read a few more poems, and the people inside laughed loudly. The door opened with a bang, and Ming Shu jumped up, "Open, open."
Qin Tangxi held her down, "It's just that someone else got married, what are you happy about?"
"I'll be happy, I'll go and have a look." Mingshu held Qin Tangxi's hand and went in together, squeezing in with others.
There was a person sitting on the couch in the house, wearing a stunning red dress, holding a fan in his hand, the fan covered his entire face, from Mingshu's perspective, no makeup could be seen.
Mingshu frowned and said impatiently, "What is this, it's so troublesome."
No wonder grandma said that getting married is very complicated, just looking at her eyes gives her a headache, if she wants to deal with it one by one, it must be a big event that has been busy for a long time.
"But fan."
The newcomer was extremely shy, blushing and approaching the bride in front of the couch, his eyes fixed on the fan, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Everyone around was amused, and even Qin Tangxi showed off his face slightly.
Mingshu's eyes fell on the bride's wedding dress, which was gorgeous and beautiful. She quietly grabbed Qin Tangxi's hand: "Sister, is everyone's wedding dress different?"
"Yes, it's different. According to everyone's thinking, the folks embroider the wedding dresses themselves." Qin Tangxi followed her gaze, and the girl's wedding dress was red, festive and delicate.
Suddenly, she understood what was going on.
Mingshu said happily, "Shall I embroider for you?"
"You don't even know how to sew clothes. When you embroider your wedding dress, I'll be old too." Qin Tangxi joked.
Ming Shu chattered, a man walked out from the crowd, and walked out with his bride on his back, "Who is this?"
"The elder brother or younger brother of the bride, marry behind her back."
Ming Shu nodded, and continued to walk out with a group of people, and the bride got into the sedan chair.After a while, the car curtain was lifted, and a handful of chopsticks were thrown out.
The sedan chair started, and the owner poured out a basin of water.
Qin Tangxi first explained: "There is a saying that the water thrown by a married daughter cannot be recovered."
Suddenly added a bit of sadness.
Ming Shu froze and didn't speak any more.
"Go and have a look." Qin Tangxi led her into the carriage, and when the carriage started, someone sprinkled a lot of copper coins.Mingshu said first, "This is Xiqian."
"En." Qin Tangxi nodded.
The carriage followed slowly behind the welcoming team, and after walking for a while, someone sprinkled money, and the common people followed behind to pick it up, until it reached the gate of the bride's mansion.
Getting off the sedan chair in the new mansion, stepping over the brazier, worshiping heaven and earth, and many etiquettes.
Mingshu stood at the door and didn't follow in. Feeling a sense of disappointment in her heart, but soon suppressed the disappointment, and took the eldest princess's hand back to the car.
The first thing she said after sitting down was: "Sister, the red wedding dress is beautiful."
Qin Tangxi frowned: "The royal family's are more gorgeous."
Ming Shu disagreed: "The queen's crown dress is more exquisite, would you wear it?"
"I want to wear it, but I can't." Qin Tangxi felt it was funny, and there was a burst of warmth in his heart, which he hadn't felt for a long time, "Mingshu, how does it feel to be here today?"
"Although getting married is joyful, but I always feel lost. You see, the water that was poured out in the end seems to cut off the bride's back. Why do you have to do it so desperately?" There are still many old customs that bind women.
After getting married, the man has a family and a house, but the woman is not as good as before, and even her parents don't want her anymore.
She showed an angry look, which made Qin Tangxi laugh, "This is the way of the world. There are many women getting married in this dynasty. You can see how much controversy was caused when the first couple appeared. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. What an outrage."
Ming Shu was still unhappy, leaning against her, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the car, the sky was getting dark, and another day passed by.
Qin Tangxi did not enter the palace, and after watching the emperor enter the palace gate, he turned back to the princess mansion.
After changing her clothes, she led the people to Zuiyanfang.
****
Zuiyanfang is a newly opened flower building recently. A wealthy businessman from Jiangnan came to sell this Yulouchun, which had been sealed for a year, from Chaotang. After renovation, it was renamed Zuiyanfang.
The difference from before is that Zuiyanfang only accepts female customers.
There are more and more women in the Great Wei Dynasty, especially among the nobles, they will have a few lovers. When the eldest princess paid a lot of money to buy a woman, it is said that they have been raised in the mansion until now.
The women in Zuiyanfang have one advantage, their bodies are as soft as bones, soft and obedient.
After entering Zuiyanfang, you will see the rockery in the middle of the hall, with lush green grass and lush greenery, giving people a fresh and pleasant feeling.
Compared with the feasting and feasting of Yulouchun before, the hall now has more elegance of mountains and rivers.
After Qin Tangxi came in, a few girls sat in twos and threes under the rockery. They were not tall, with slender waists and gentle temperament.
If you look closely, there is a bit of Mingshu's previous temperament.
She smiled, and thought of Zhao Hui's words: Zuiyanfang is the sub-helm of Tianli Sect.
After a new customer arrived, the girls swarmed up, Qin Tangxi was unmoved, "I want to see Su He."
"She's not free, Princess Pingxiang is inside."
"Oh, is she so popular?" Qin Tangxi asked politely.
One person said: "Listen to her name, what kind of branches and leaves are supporting Su, and the wind and grass are blowing up. Why are you playing so arrogantly here?"
Qin Tangxi nodded, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."
"Oh, don't go..."
After boarding the carriage, the coachman swung his whip and drove towards the mansion. Tangxi in the carriage held his forehead and meditated. In order to defeat Emperor Ming's private soldiers that day, he gave Tianli Sect a sweet treat. He never thought that it would cause trouble today.
Hurting the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred, I never thought that Tianli Sect would extend its hand into Luoyang.
After returning to the Princess Mansion, the staff waited for a long time, and when they met, they reported: "Your Highness, I have checked Su He. This person is the eldest daughter of a county magistrate. After the county magistrate was imprisoned for corruption, Su He was sold to Hualou .”
"Well, send a message to Princess Zhang An, saying that the mainstream of Pingxiang County is Lianzuiyanfang, and she will be easy to discipline."
The staff member leaned over to respond, and said subconsciously: "Su He is leading Princess Pingxiang, is there some ulterior secret?"
"They're all playing wild in Luoyang City, what's more ulterior secret. You go and watch, and make an appointment with Su He for me by the way."
"I'll do it now." The staff responded, and after a few steps back, the Eldest Princess said again: "Be quiet, don't let His Majesty know."
Mingshu knew that she had to demolish Zuiyanfang.
****
A few days after Rongchang Hou was imprisoned, the court was peaceful, and he followed the clues, leading to many corruption cases one after another.
The emperor took this great opportunity to kill some corrupt officials and exchange for fresh blood.
After coming down to the court, the emperor thought of those warriors who had been idled by her, and after thinking about it, he sent them to guard the city gate and take turns to replace them.
This is the second sentence, it can only be accomplished if you can endure the misery.
After dealing with these matters, the emperor went to Qing'an Palace again, and the sound of birds was heard from afar.
She signaled the palace servants not to report, she approached quietly, approached the palace door and heard a voice from inside: "Chu Jiu, don't be angry if you say Nan Shu."
Then Chu Jiu really said: "Nan Shu don't be angry."
Mingshu was surprised, can she still be coaxed like this?
One person and one bird in the hall got along very happily, she didn't want to go in and disturb her, so she stopped outside the hall door and turned around quietly.
When I returned to Taiji Hall, the servant rushed to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the son of Rongchang Hou died of illness."
"Died of illness?" Ming Shu paused, how could a man who was alive and well die just as soon as he died, or died of illness.
Wu Wen was in good health enough to kill nine cows, she smiled and said, "Let people go collect the bones and send the corpses to Marquis Rongchang."
How could such a great gift be given up?
****
In the afternoon, Empress Dowager Sun went out of the palace to pray for blessings in the temple, but the emperor wanted to see her off in person, but everyone got into the car, and was forced out by Empress Dowager Sun.
The emperor sighed and had a plan in mind, so he went to the princess mansion to wait.
The eldest princess was not in the mansion, and after entering the mansion with the order, she went all the way to the outside of Concubine An's Buddhist hall.
Not long after waiting outside, I saw Empress Dowager Sun coming in.
Sure enough, praying for blessings is a lie.
After Empress Dowager Sun entered the house, the maid was kicked out of the yard, which happened to give her a great opportunity.
Mingshu walked to the window, through the window paper, holding her breath and concentrating, after a while, the bird's voice of Chujiu came from inside: "Nan Shu, don't be angry, Nan Shu, don't be angry."
Ming Shu: "..." She suddenly wanted to get Chu Jiu back.
There are many figures inside, but the voices of the two are particularly clear, "Sun Suyu, you are such an interesting bird."
"Not as interesting as you."
Mingshu's eyes widened and she leaned close to her ears to listen.
The little girl who was engrossed didn't notice that someone was approaching behind her. There was a voice from inside again, but she only heard a few words, and suddenly someone covered her ears.
Mingshu was so frightened that she wanted to shout, but she didn't want to, her mouth was blocked, and a familiar and comforting voice came from her ears: "Qin Tangning, just listen to the elders' private affairs just like this for the emperor."
The king of Xin'an got a daughter, and took the word Ning.
****
After being caught on the spot, Qin Tangxi took him back to his yard. Mingshu stood at the base of the wall, looked at the roof, looked at her, and said angrily, "I, I'm the emperor now."
"Well, you are the emperor." Qin Tangxi didn't raise his eyes, his eyes fell on the paper in his hand, and he didn't raise his head at all.
Mingshu was sullen, and said stubbornly, "You're the next one."
Qin Tangxi nodded while looking at the document, "The minister committed the crime below."
Mingshu immediately lost her temper, and raised her foot to go back, but Qin Tangxi immediately reminded: "Stop, don't move."
"You..." Mingshu leaned back against the wall, gritted her teeth and relaxed, swallowed her anger and said, "Don't you want to know what they said?"
"Don't listen to insults." Qin Tangxi said indifferently.
"No, I just want to tell you." Mingshu trotted up to her, reached out and held down the document in her hand, and stared at her with her face up.
Only then did Qin Tangxi raise his eyes, watching her eyes tremble slightly, watching the light in her eyes slowly reveal a bit of unruly.
Looking at each other, Mingshu's eyes reflected her appearance.
Qin Tangxi looked at herself in her eyes, feeling a little strange in a trance.
The evening wind from outside was blowing towards her, blowing Mingshu's hair towards her, and it fell softly on the little girl's body. She stretched out her hand, and slowly put it on Mingshu's waist.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
Ming Shu froze for a moment, this is a good idea, if you tell her, it won't work in the future.
She slowly refused, "Don't say anything wrong."
"Huh?" Qin Tangxi was displeased, and the hand on her waist slowly moved down, taking advantage of the situation to pat her behind, "Do you want to keep it for yourself?"
"How do you know?"
Qin Tangxi watched Mingshu's rosy mouth open and close, and gently moved towards it, raised her head, and stroked it slowly with her index finger: "Because, I told the queen mother that."
"You..." Mingshu drew out her tone in surprise, almost unable to believe it.
Qin Tangxi slapped her again, "Stop your curiosity, have you finished reading today's memorial?"
"No." Ming Shu stepped back decisively, blocked her back with both hands, and said confidently: "I am the Empress Dowager of Filial Piety."
"Filial piety sneaking outside the house to listen to the root of the wall?" Qin Tangxi raised her hand again as a matter of course, but Ming Shu had already run away, and her hands were empty. She said again: "I forgot what I overheard."
"You, why don't you use that to coax me?" Ming Shu's face flushed, she clearly knew how to coax a girl, but she didn't do it, and told others to go.
Qin Tangxi lowered her eyes and sorted out the dark lines on the cuffs, "I don't think you need to coax."
"Hmph..." Ming Shu glanced at her, turned around and trotted away from the Princess Mansion.
****
Wu Fan's body was sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Two days later, Marquis Rongchang wanted to see the emperor.
Qin Tangxi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, so he didn't care when he heard it.After reporting to the emperor, the emperor refused to see him.
"Why didn't His Majesty disappear?" Qin Tangxi was puzzled.
"I don't see it, let's talk about it after exhausting his strength. It's going to be summer soon, and Wu Yan's body will slowly rot if it is not buried in the ground. I will order people to block the news, so that Empress Dowager Wu can't disturb her peace of mind to worship the Buddha." The emperor played Taking the brush in his hand, he twirled the pen around with his thin white fingers, and landed it firmly in the palm of his hand.
Qin Tangxi's gaze was gradually attracted to her hands, which were slender and fair, with well-defined joints, well-manicured nails, and the round curves were clean.
Not stained with dust.
She looked at it for a while, then slowly shifted her gaze, "Your Majesty wants to reverse the case to Duke Xin through him?"
"Hmm." Mingshu put down the brush, her eyes were fixed, "Sister, I found something."
It has been almost two years since her father was wronged. It's not that she can't find out, but that there are some cruxes in the middle.
My father seems to have contacts with people from Tianli Sect.
She found some documents from the middle case, found a small painting in the documents, opened it and said: "It says that my father met some strangers before the accident, and the servants in the mansion said that they were not officials, let alone subordinates. One of them A woman. Later, I vaguely remembered that there was indeed a woman who passed by Duke Xinguo’s mansion, and I drew a portrait of the woman based on my impressions, but the time has passed so long, I don’t know that I don’t remember everything.”
"Tianli Sect has been established for five years. The leader is a woman, the daughter of King Chu Xiang. Counting her age, she should be only 28 or [-] years old." Qin Tangxi took the portrait, and her eyes fell on the tear mole in front of her eyes.
"Is it a posthumous child?" Ming Shu wondered.
"Well, it should be. If there is a child, King Chu Xiang should take it back to the mansion instead of letting it stay outside." Qin Tangxi thought about it, and Xin Guogong did not show mercy. After careful consideration, it is a posthumous child.
Ming Shu held her chin, "That woman seems to be no older than you said."
"Leave it alone." Qin Tangxi accepted the portrait, carefully instructed Mingshu to do some political affairs, and then left.
When I got back to the princess mansion, I asked someone to find Zhao Hui.
****
Mingshu went to the prison of Dali Temple to meet Rongchanghou when summer came.
Wu Yan's body was placed in the prison cell, and he stayed with Rongchang Hou every day. Fortunately, the cell was cold and the body would not rot too quickly.
But when Mingshu entered the cell, she could already smell a rotten smell, even a little choking, so she covered her nose and walked in.
In just a few days, Marquis Rongchang aged ten years old, his temples were pale, and he sat alone in a dark corner.
"Rongchanghou, I'm here, what do you want to say?" Mingshu walked in, Wu Fan's body was at her feet, she didn't even dare to look at it, trying to calm herself down.
When Marquis Rongchang saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly climbed to her feet: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, please let my son be buried in the earth and enjoy the coffin..."
He kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead pounding loudly, and Mingshu took two steps back unconsciously in fright.
"I only have a few words, you can answer honestly."
The emperor's voice was trembling, but Marquis Rongchang didn't hear it clearly, he just kept kowtowing: "I beg your Majesty..."
"Let me ask you, did Duke Xin Zhao Ye commit treason?"
The trembling man stopped abruptly, raised his head, revealing his ferocious facial features, the blood on his forehead slid across his eyes and bridge of nose, resembling a tragic scene of bleeding from all seven orifices.After Mingshu saw it, her whole body trembled, and she even got goosebumps.
She was afraid, but Rongchanghou laughed, as if Yan Luo came from hell, his facial features were distorted when he laughed: "He did not treason, but he raised the daughter of a traitor..."
"The rebel's daughter?" Ming Shu was puzzled.
The author has something to say: I'm too sleepy, so I'll post first, good night.
感谢在2021-04-0621:21:37~2021-04-0719:27:05期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 2 bottles of Ana;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Ming Shu had no choice but to leave by herself.
After returning to the Tai Chi Hall, the eldest princess also came back.
After the two raised their eyes and looked at each other, they both showed helpless expressions. Mingshu said first: "The queen mother is still angry. I will talk to her later, why are you back?"
"What has Your Majesty been up to these days?" Qin Tangxi's eyes stayed on Mingshu's eyelids, pretending to be surprised: "Your Majesty's eyes are black and blue, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
"Yesterday..." Ming Shu pondered, a look of helplessness appeared on her face, she hesitated to speak, "Sister, I..."
"What's wrong?" Qin Tangxi's heart was lifted high by her, "Are you in trouble?"
"Well, have you ever seen someone get married?" Mingshu whispered.
Not hearing her soft voice for a long time, Qin Tangxi was a little surprised for a moment, but soon got used to it, and said with a smile: "I have seen royal marriages, but I have never seen civil marriages."
The same is true for Mingshu, she has been playing with the eldest princess since she was a child, and she usually goes in and out of official mansions, and folk marriages are only seen in books.
"But you can see him if you want. Your Majesty, change into your clothes, and I will take you to meet him."
"Now?" Mingshu was surprised.
Qin Tangxi nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's now. Da Wei's wedding will be at night, and His Majesty will change clothes and go out of the palace. Maybe we can see each other again."
"Okay, wait for me." Ming Shu nodded quickly, and trotted back to the bedroom with her skirt in hand.
He ran so fast all the way that the palace servants behind him couldn't catch up.
After changing their clothes, the two quietly left the palace.

"You don't even know how to sew clothes. When you embroider your wedding dress, I'll be old too." Qin Tangxi joked.
Ming Shu chattered, a man walked out from the crowd, and walked out with his bride on his back, "Who is this?"
"The elder brother or younger brother of the bride, marry behind her back."
Ming Shu nodded, and continued to walk out with a group of people, and the bride got into the sedan chair.After a while, the car curtain was lifted, and a handful of chopsticks were thrown out.
The sedan chair started, and the owner poured out a basin of water.
Qin Tangxi first explained: "There is a saying that the water thrown by a married daughter cannot be recovered."
Suddenly added a bit of sadness.
Ming Shu froze and didn't speak any more.
"Go and have a look." Qin Tangxi led her into the carriage, and when the carriage started, someone sprinkled a lot of copper coins.Mingshu said first, "This is Xiqian."
"En." Qin Tangxi nodded.
The carriage followed slowly behind the welcoming team, and after walking for a while, someone sprinkled money, and the common people followed behind to pick it up, until it reached the gate of the bride's mansion.
Getting off the sedan chair in the new mansion, stepping over the brazier, worshiping heaven and earth, and many etiquettes.
Mingshu stood at the door and didn't follow in. Feeling a sense of disappointment in her heart, but soon suppressed the disappointment, and took the eldest princess's hand back to the car.
The first thing she said after sitting down was: "Sister, the red wedding dress is beautiful."
Qin Tangxi frowned: "The royal family's are more gorgeous."
Ming Shu disagreed: "The queen's crown dress is more exquisite, would you wear it?"
"I want to wear it, but I can't." Qin Tangxi felt it was funny, and there was a burst of warmth in his heart, which he hadn't felt for a long time, "Mingshu, how does it feel to be here today?"
"Although getting married is joyful, but I always feel lost. You see, the water that was poured out in the end seems to cut off the bride's back. Why do you have to do it so desperately?" There are still many old customs that bind women.
After getting married, the man has a family and a house, but the woman is not as good as before, and even her parents don't want her anymore.
She showed an angry look, which made Qin Tangxi laugh, "This is the way of the world. There are many women getting married in this dynasty. You can see how much controversy was caused when the first couple appeared. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. What an outrage."
Ming Shu was still unhappy, leaning against her, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the car, the sky was getting dark, and another day passed by.
Qin Tangxi did not enter the palace, and after watching the emperor enter the palace gate, he turned back to the princess mansion.
After changing her clothes, she led the people to Zuiyanfang.
****
Zuiyanfang is a newly opened flower building recently. A wealthy businessman from Jiangnan came to sell this Yulouchun, which had been sealed for a year, from Chaotang. After renovation, it was renamed Zuiyanfang.
The difference from before is that Zuiyanfang only accepts female customers.
There are more and more women in the Great Wei Dynasty, especially among the nobles, they will have a few lovers. When the eldest princess paid a lot of money to buy a woman, it is said that they have been raised in the mansion until now.
The women in Zuiyanfang have one advantage, their bodies are as soft as bones, soft and obedient.
After entering Zuiyanfang, you will see the rockery in the middle of the hall, with lush green grass and lush greenery, giving people a fresh and pleasant feeling.
Compared with the feasting and feasting of Yulouchun before, the hall now has more elegance of mountains and rivers.
After Qin Tangxi came in, a few girls sat in twos and threes under the rockery. They were not tall, with slender waists and gentle temperament.
If you look closely, there is a bit of Mingshu's previous temperament.
She smiled, and thought of Zhao Hui's words: Zuiyanfang is the sub-helm of Tianli Sect.
After a new customer arrived, the girls swarmed up, Qin Tangxi was unmoved, "I want to see Su He."
"She's not free, Princess Pingxiang is inside."
"Oh, is she so popular?" Qin Tangxi asked politely.
One person said: "Listen to her name, what kind of branches and leaves are supporting Su, and the wind and grass are blowing up. Why are you playing so arrogantly here?"
Qin Tangxi nodded, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."
"Oh, don't go..."
After boarding the carriage, the coachman swung his whip and drove towards the mansion. Tangxi in the carriage held his forehead and meditated. In order to defeat Emperor Ming's private soldiers that day, he gave Tianli Sect a sweet treat. He never thought that it would cause trouble today.
Hurting the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred, I never thought that Tianli Sect would extend its hand into Luoyang.
After returning to the Princess Mansion, the staff waited for a long time, and when they met, they reported: "Your Highness, I have checked Su He. This person is the eldest daughter of a county magistrate. After the county magistrate was imprisoned for corruption, Su He was sold to Hualou .”
"Well, send a message to Princess Zhang An, saying that the mainstream of Pingxiang County is Lianzuiyanfang, and she will be easy to discipline."
The staff member leaned over to respond, and said subconsciously: "Su He is leading Princess Pingxiang, is there some ulterior secret?"
"They're all playing wild in Luoyang City, what's more ulterior secret. You go and watch, and make an appointment with Su He for me by the way."
"I'll do it now." The staff responded, and after a few steps back, the Eldest Princess said again: "Be quiet, don't let His Majesty know."
Mingshu knew that she had to demolish Zuiyanfang.
****
A few days after Rongchang Hou was imprisoned, the court was peaceful, and he followed the clues, leading to many corruption cases one after another.
The emperor took this great opportunity to kill some corrupt officials and exchange for fresh blood.
After coming down to the court, the emperor thought of those warriors who had been idled by her, and after thinking about it, he sent them to guard the city gate and take turns to replace them.
This is the second sentence, it can only be accomplished if you can endure the misery.
After dealing with these matters, the emperor went to Qing'an Palace again, and the sound of birds was heard from afar.
She signaled the palace servants not to report, she approached quietly, approached the palace door and heard a voice from inside: "Chu Jiu, don't be angry if you say Nan Shu."
Then Chu Jiu really said: "Nan Shu don't be angry."
Mingshu was surprised, can she still be coaxed like this?
One person and one bird in the hall got along very happily, she didn't want to go in and disturb her, so she stopped outside the hall door and turned around quietly.
When I returned to Taiji Hall, the servant rushed to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the son of Rongchang Hou died of illness."
"Died of illness?" Ming Shu paused, how could a man who was alive and well die just as soon as he died, or died of illness.
Wu Wen was in good health enough to kill nine cows, she smiled and said, "Let people go collect the bones and send the corpses to Marquis Rongchang."
How could such a great gift be given up?
****
In the afternoon, Empress Dowager Sun went out of the palace to pray for blessings in the temple, but the emperor wanted to see her off in person, but everyone got into the car, and was forced out by Empress Dowager Sun.
The emperor sighed and had a plan in mind, so he went to the princess mansion to wait.
The eldest princess was not in the mansion, and after entering the mansion with the order, she went all the way to the outside of Concubine An's Buddhist hall.
Not long after waiting outside, I saw Empress Dowager Sun coming in.
Sure enough, praying for blessings is a lie.
After Empress Dowager Sun entered the house, the maid was kicked out of the yard, which happened to give her a great opportunity.
Mingshu walked to the window, through the window paper, holding her breath and concentrating, after a while, the bird's voice of Chujiu came from inside: "Nan Shu, don't be angry, Nan Shu, don't be angry."
Ming Shu: "..." She suddenly wanted to get Chu Jiu back.
There are many figures inside, but the voices of the two are particularly clear, "Sun Suyu, you are such an interesting bird."
"Not as interesting as you."
Mingshu's eyes widened and she leaned close to her ears to listen.
The little girl who was engrossed didn't notice that someone was approaching behind her. There was a voice from inside again, but she only heard a few words, and suddenly someone covered her ears.
Mingshu was so frightened that she wanted to shout, but she didn't want to, her mouth was blocked, and a familiar and comforting voice came from her ears: "Qin Tangning, just listen to the elders' private affairs just like this for the emperor."
The king of Xin'an got a daughter, and took the word Ning.
****
After being caught on the spot, Qin Tangxi took him back to his yard. Mingshu stood at the base of the wall, looked at the roof, looked at her, and said angrily, "I, I'm the emperor now."
"Well, you are the emperor." Qin Tangxi didn't raise his eyes, his eyes fell on the paper in his hand, and he didn't raise his head at all.
Mingshu was sullen, and said stubbornly, "You're the next one."
Qin Tangxi nodded while looking at the document, "The minister committed the crime below."
Mingshu immediately lost her temper, and raised her foot to go back, but Qin Tangxi immediately reminded: "Stop, don't move."
"You..." Mingshu leaned back against the wall, gritted her teeth and relaxed, swallowed her anger and said, "Don't you want to know what they said?"
"Don't listen to insults." Qin Tangxi said indifferently.
"No, I just want to tell you." Mingshu trotted up to her, reached out and held down the document in her hand, and stared at her with her face up.
Only then did Qin Tangxi raise his eyes, watching her eyes tremble slightly, watching the light in her eyes slowly reveal a bit of unruly.
Looking at each other, Mingshu's eyes reflected her appearance.
Qin Tangxi looked at herself in her eyes, feeling a little strange in a trance.
The evening wind from outside was blowing towards her, blowing Mingshu's hair towards her, and it fell softly on the little girl's body. She stretched out her hand, and slowly put it on Mingshu's waist.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
Ming Shu froze for a moment, this is a good idea, if you tell her, it won't work in the future.
She slowly refused, "Don't say anything wrong."
"Huh?" Qin Tangxi was displeased, and the hand on her waist slowly moved down, taking advantage of the situation to pat her behind, "Do you want to keep it for yourself?"
"How do you know?"
Qin Tangxi watched Mingshu's rosy mouth open and close, and gently moved towards it, raised her head, and stroked it slowly with her index finger: "Because, I told the queen mother that."
"You..." Mingshu drew out her tone in surprise, almost unable to believe it.
Qin Tangxi slapped her again, "Stop your curiosity, have you finished reading today's memorial?"
"No." Ming Shu stepped back decisively, blocked her back with both hands, and said confidently: "I am the Empress Dowager of Filial Piety."
"Filial piety sneaking outside the house to listen to the root of the wall?" Qin Tangxi raised her hand again as a matter of course, but Ming Shu had already run away, and her hands were empty. She said again: "I forgot what I overheard."
"You, why don't you use that to coax me?" Ming Shu's face flushed, she clearly knew how to coax a girl, but she didn't do it, and told others to go.
Qin Tangxi lowered her eyes and sorted out the dark lines on the cuffs, "I don't think you need to coax."
"Hmph..." Ming Shu glanced at her, turned around and trotted away from the Princess Mansion.
****
Wu Fan's body was sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Two days later, Marquis Rongchang wanted to see the emperor.
Qin Tangxi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, so he didn't care when he heard it.After reporting to the emperor, the emperor refused to see him.
"Why didn't His Majesty disappear?" Qin Tangxi was puzzled.
"I don't see it, let's talk about it after exhausting his strength. It's going to be summer soon, and Wu Yan's body will slowly rot if it is not buried in the ground. I will order people to block the news, so that Empress Dowager Wu can't disturb her peace of mind to worship the Buddha." The emperor played Taking the brush in his hand, he twirled the pen around with his thin white fingers, and landed it firmly in the palm of his hand.
Qin Tangxi's gaze was gradually attracted to her hands, which were slender and fair, with well-defined joints, well-manicured nails, and the round curves were clean.
Not stained with dust.
She looked at it for a while, then slowly shifted her gaze, "Your Majesty wants to reverse the case to Duke Xin through him?"
"Hmm." Mingshu put down the brush, her eyes were fixed, "Sister, I found something."
It has been almost two years since her father was wronged. It's not that she can't find out, but that there are some cruxes in the middle.
My father seems to have contacts with people from Tianli Sect.
She found some documents from the middle case, found a small painting in the documents, opened it and said: "It says that my father met some strangers before the accident, and the servants in the mansion said that they were not officials, let alone subordinates. One of them A woman. Later, I vaguely remembered that there was indeed a woman who passed by Duke Xinguo’s mansion, and I drew a portrait of the woman based on my impressions, but the time has passed so long, I don’t know that I don’t remember everything.”
"Tianli Sect has been established for five years. The leader is a woman, the daughter of King Chu Xiang. Counting her age, she should be only 28 or [-] years old." Qin Tangxi took the portrait, and her eyes fell on the tear mole in front of her eyes.
"Is it a posthumous child?" Ming Shu wondered.
"Well, it should be. If there is a child, King Chu Xiang should take it back to the mansion instead of letting it stay outside." Qin Tangxi thought about it, and Xin Guogong did not show mercy. After careful consideration, it is a posthumous child.
Ming Shu held her chin, "That woman seems to be no older than you said."
"Leave it alone." Qin Tangxi accepted the portrait, carefully instructed Mingshu to do some political affairs, and then left.
When I got back to the princess mansion, I asked someone to find Zhao Hui.
****
Mingshu went to the prison of Dali Temple to meet Rongchanghou when summer came.
Wu Yan's body was placed in the prison cell, and he stayed with Rongchang Hou every day. Fortunately, the cell was cold and the body would not rot too quickly.
But when Mingshu entered the cell, she could already smell a rotten smell, even a little choking, so she covered her nose and walked in.
In just a few days, Marquis Rongchang aged ten years old, his temples were pale, and he sat alone in a dark corner.
"Rongchanghou, I'm here, what do you want to say?" Mingshu walked in, Wu Fan's body was at her feet, she didn't even dare to look at it, trying to calm herself down.
When Marquis Rongchang saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly climbed to her feet: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, please let my son be buried in the earth and enjoy the coffin..."
He kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead pounding loudly, and Mingshu took two steps back unconsciously in fright.
"I only have a few words, you can answer honestly."
The emperor's voice was trembling, but Marquis Rongchang didn't hear it clearly, he just kept kowtowing: "I beg your Majesty..."
"Let me ask you, did Duke Xin Zhao Ye commit treason?"
The trembling man stopped abruptly, raised his head, revealing his ferocious facial features, the blood on his forehead slid across his eyes and bridge of nose, resembling a tragic scene of bleeding from all seven orifices.After Mingshu saw it, her whole body trembled, and she even got goosebumps.
She was afraid, but Rongchanghou laughed, as if Yan Luo came from hell, his facial features were distorted when he laughed: "He did not treason, but he raised the daughter of a traitor..."
"The rebel's daughter?" Ming Shu was puzzled.
The author has something to say: I'm too sleepy, so I'll post first, good night.
