Empress snatches dried fish

Not long after, Geng Bai'an only felt that the carriage stopped suddenly and shook violently, and Geng Bai'an fell out of Yu Gan's arms.Fortunately, Ji Yinian had quick eyesight and quickly brought Geng Bai'an back, only to save Geng Bai'an from falling into a dog and eating shit.

Ji Yi said in a young voice: "It's okay, you all get up."

Geng Bai'an opened his eyes in horror, his little heart was beating wildly, he accidentally saw the three palace servants get up from the posture lying on the ground, and immediately understood what they did at that moment just now - lying on the ground ready to give Use yourself as a meat pad, even if you fall, you will not be injured.And because it's best not to see the queen's embarrassing appearance, so they buried their heads between their arms when they lay down.

After discovering this phenomenon, Geng Bai'an was both moved and sad when he saw them relieved.What moved me was that I didn't hurt these little girls in vain for so many days. It seemed that it was a subconscious reaction. I was really afraid of her hands.What is sad is the sad system of this era, because they have to do it even if they are unwilling, because they cannot afford the consequences of ineffective protection.

For example, when Geng Bai'an was assassinated, if someone came up to block a sword and died, then it would be a credit, and he could even exchange his own life for his whole family's food and clothing for the rest of their lives.But if the people nearby didn't come to stop him, even if Geng Bai'an just made a cut somewhere, normally the palace servant or eunuch would suffer at least dozens of boards.

Of course, it's right that this kind of thing won't happen here in Geng Bai'an.

At this moment, there was only a commotion outside, and Shu Yonghe's angry voice was heard again, Geng Bai'an frowned: "Come on, let's go down and see what happened."

"But you..." Yu Gan gently tugged on Geng Bai'an's sleeve, seeing that she was curious, he didn't stop her.

With Cui Xin's support, Yu Gan jumped off the carriage, Ji Yinian jumped off directly, and even hugged Geng Bai'an after landing.Geng Bai'an nodded gratefully at her, she was already motion sick to the point that her head was swollen, if she jumped off, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable.Geng Bai'an rubbed his temples, and walked slowly towards the front of the team.

After walking in, I saw two women, one old and one young, kneeling on the ground. In front of them stood Shu Yonghe with an angry face and Shu Hongyu with an indifferent expression beside them. There were also several courtiers standing around them, and Some people also slowly gathered after Geng Bai'an.Now that the emperor and empress had already got off the carriage, they didn't dare to sit in the carriage, so they could only come down to check the situation.

"What's going on here?"

Lin Song answered Geng Bai'an's words while helping the book Yonghe Shunqi: "Go back to the empress, these two women chased along the foot of the mountain, collided with the chariot and horse in front, disturbed the royal chariot and horse, as usual, they should be beheaded, but the emperor is merciful. I asked about the situation. As a result, these two unreasonable women didn't know what to do, and made the emperor angry."

Geng Bai'an frowned, it's probably not a small matter to make Soymilk such a good-tempered person so popular.

After some inquiries, I found out that the two women, the old and the young, turned out to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Because this daughter-in-law gave birth to three girls, the mother-in-law disliked her anyway, and often beat and scolded her.Poor young daughter-in-law is responsible for the housework, taking care of the children, serving her in-laws, serving her husband who "only reads sage books", and doing embroidery work to subsidize the family when she finds time.

But even so, the mother-in-law was still not satisfied, until her fourth child gave birth to a daughter, the mother-in-law was completely angry.In just a few days, he planned to strangle his newborn granddaughter, but unfortunately, he was caught by his daughter-in-law just after he strangled her.The daughter-in-law was furious when she saw her daughter being strangled to death, so she mustered up the courage to go forward and push the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law picked up a kitchen knife and tried to cut her, but the daughter-in-law turned around and ran away.

Geng Bai'an pointed to the young woman: "Where is her husband?"

Shu Yonghe laughed angrily: "I guess he is studying at home, he doesn't care about anything, even his daughter's death, his mother and daughter-in-law are choking each other."

Geng Bai'an blinked in disbelief, then looked at the young woman: "What's your husband's name?"

The young woman was already trembling with fright because she collided with the royal chariot and horses, and seeing their displeasure, now she dared not even announce her husband's name, for fear of affecting his official career.But the old lady at the side thought something good was going on, and immediately said: "This nobleman, the old lady's son is named Li Zhengqi, he is a well-known scholar from all over the world, and he will enter Chongjing next year to catch the exam. I hope you... ..."

"Bold! This is the empress!" Su Qi immediately interrupted her words when she heard something wrong.The empress is already suffering from motion sickness all the way, if she gets angry again, what can she do?

Geng Bai'an closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Where is the official secretary?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stepped forward immediately: "The minister is here."

"Go to their village and check. If there is such a person as Li Zhengqi, he will be put on the blacklist. Starting from Li Zhengqi, three generations will not be allowed to take part in the scientific examination." It's not good for me to adore the country."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was taken aback, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, obviously he only needed to send someone to do such chores for the country people, but the queen actually wanted him to go in person.But even though he was a little dissatisfied, after all the Queen spoke, he had no choice but to agree, and could only agree: "Yes, I will go later."

Geng Bai'an is now very grateful for the stipulation that Empress Chongguo must participate in politics, otherwise he would not be able to make this decision at all.Even if he told Soy Milk, if he spoke his mind again, he would be labeled as a harem participating in politics.

When the two women heard this, they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying and shouting about how difficult it was for Li Zhengqi to study.

Shu Yonghe had a headache when he heard it, and he had no choice but to spit out two words: "Four generations."

The two cried even louder.

Shu Yonghe gradually became impatient, and Geng Bai'an saw a vein popping out on the side of his forehead: "Five generations! If you don't keep your mouth shut, your Li family, no matter the direct line or the collateral line, will never be hired!"

After finishing speaking, the two also stopped crying.

It's scary enough to never be hired, but if you add collateral, doesn't it almost cover the entire village?At that time, their family will make the whole village hate them.

Some of the courtiers who understood Geng Bai'an all admired Geng Bai'an, especially in the eyes of Shu Yonghe, the old and stubborn Prime Minister Tang, who looked at Geng Bai'an's back for a long time, then lowered his head and shook his head. I don't know if he was sighing that the queen is more decisive than the emperor. , still lamenting that her granddaughter is completely inferior to her.

Although this queen seems to be indifferent to everything, but if you are careful, you will find that she can always grasp the most important key when dealing with things.Although Chongguo has regulations for empresses to participate in politics, most of the empresses are young ladies raised in deep boudoirs, who have no power to make decisions about the affairs of the family and the country.

As for queens like Geng Bai'an, there may not be any in the history of Chongguo, but they are definitely very few.From this moment on, they also began to put aside their prejudices and face up to Geng Bai'an's ability.

After solving the most fundamental problem, Shu Yonghe's eyes also focused on these two people.Not to mention that the young woman's hair was disheveled, she had obviously been beaten, even the hatchet dropped by the old woman's side was impossible to ignore.

So he asked the young woman what she wanted to do with her mother-in-law.Unexpectedly, the young woman just hesitated for a moment, and opened her mouth to say "filial piety", to the effect that she forgave her mother-in-law and so on.

"After all, the common woman gave birth to four daughters in a row, and it was the common woman's fault that they did not pass on the family line to the Li family." After the young woman finished speaking, the older woman was still angrily waving her hand to hit her, if Shu Yonghe hadn't kicked her in time. Open her hand, really dare to hit someone in front of the emperor.

The performance of the two hurt Geng Bai'an's eyes.

Ever since she became friends with Wang Leshui Ji Yinian, Geng Bai'an in private has no rules at all, plus her relationship with Soy Milk, she can do whatever she wants. To be honest, apart from the environment, everything else is no different from modern times. .The attitude towards eunuchs and palace servants is just like the boss treats employees, just giving them wages to do things, usually they move and do laundry, Geng Bai'an will not beat and scold them casually.

Even if they made a mistake, they would only deduct their wages and the like, although this was a big punishment for them—of course, except for those who deliberately provoked trouble, it was just right to use the queen's status to suppress people.

But now, she finally recognized the truth.Although this is not the time and space where I originally lived, it is indeed an ancient, feudal society.Even if the queen enters politics and the status of women has improved somewhat compared to her own time and space, many concepts have been deeply rooted in her bones.Even a woman who can act impulsively against her mother-in-law after seeing her daughter being killed, but after calming down a little, she will be overwhelmed by the so-called "reasonable" and "filial piety" mountains and dare not resist.

Shu Yonghe's reaction was much bigger than Geng Bai'an's. He pointed at the young woman and shouted: "Even if you don't think about it for yourself, it's your own daughter! Your daughter was born in October!"

If it was his daughter, what would the baby be like?Shu Yonghe himself doesn't know, but he knows that if someone hurts his child's hair, he will definitely rush to fight the other party.But I didn't expect that I could see such a situation with my own eyes. Isn't my daughter a human being?The two people in front of them are both women. According to their own ideas, shouldn't they also die long ago?

The young woman probably thought of her little daughter who was strangled to death, and wiped away her tears, but said nothing.

Just as Shu Yonghe was about to speak again, he was stopped by Geng Bai'an.

"An'an?" Shu Yonghe didn't expect that the one who stopped him would be Geng Bai'an, the only person present who had the same three views as him.

I saw Geng Bai'an shook his head in disappointment, and spit out two words to him: "Slavery."

Shu Yonghe was startled when he heard this, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.Yes, isn't that what it is?The thinking of people in this era is always incomparable with them.In such an era, women are doomed to be victims. Only the daughters of powerful and wealthy families can live a happy life.But the so-called "happy days" are nothing more than marrying a good family, having a gentle husband, taking care of the husband and raising the children until they grow old?

They can't see the real world at all.

So Shu Yonghe let them go and didn't punish them. After all, not hiring the fifth generation is already the biggest punishment for their family.As for what will happen to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after returning home, he doesn't want to care about it anymore.

After getting into the carriage, Geng Bai'an felt even more uncomfortable, not only physically, but also in his heart.A bold idea gradually came to mind, but the carriage swayed all the way and made her dizzy, so she didn't want to think about it for the time being.

……

As soon as he returned to the palace, Ji Yinian was gone.The weak Geng Bai'an was helped out of the carriage by Suqi and Yu Gan, one on the left and the other on the right. When Ji Yinian was not seen, he knew that she must have gone to look for Wang Leshui.Although he didn't stay in the hunting ground for a few days, Ji Yinian also hunted a lot of prey in the limited time, including a pure white rabbit.

At that time, Geng Bai'an wanted the rabbit skin, but Ji Yinian refused to give it to him, but now he probably went to Wang Leshui to offer the treasure.

Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know when this silly girl will understand her own thoughts. She mentions Wang Leshui all day long, and when she is exposed, she becomes arrogant and makes excuses.Even Suqi, a careless girl, would sigh, "Mrs. Yinian and Mrs. Leshui have such a good relationship", but she herself doesn't know anything.

Geng Bai'an patted Yu Gan's hand with a pale face: "Xiao Yugan, you have worked hard on this journey, you should go back and rest first. We have already returned to the palace, and the walking chariot is there, so don't be afraid that I will not be able to walk steadily."

Yu Gan looked at the walking chariot in front of him, nodded, turned around, and with the support of Cui Xin, got on his own chariot and headed for Feiqiong Palace.

After finally returning to Yong'an Hall, the moment Geng Bai'an lay down on his couch, he felt that the world was not spinning like that, and he felt like he had been completely revived and reborn.

However, Geng Bai'an, who returned to the palace, did not live in peace for a few days, and the palace immediately became lively.It was the end of November now, and the New Year would be one month later. On the third day after they came back, the Queen Mother also returned to the palace, bringing back two girls who looked exactly the same.

"Sister-in-law!"

Geng Bai'an looked at the pair of twins in front of him who looked exactly the same but could be perfectly separated in terms of temperament, his right eyelid kept twitching - as the saying goes, it's a bad omen!Although Geng Bai'an had never met them, she had heard their voices through the hijab on the day of her wedding. If she remembered correctly, these two were the two princesses who were fighting to lift her hijab that day.

The fourth princess and the fifth princess are the sons of the current queen mother and Shu Yonghe's only two younger sisters. They are only 12 years old this year.Because Guoxue is where the princes study, they were sent to women's colleges like other princesses from the age of seven.There are not only princesses in the women's academy, but also daughters of many high-ranking and noble families, and ordinary people can't get in at all.

According to the usual practice, they can only go back to the palace every year during the Chinese New Year, but this year they went back and forth one more time because of Shu Yonghe's wedding.

At that wedding, they just came and went in a hurry, and stayed in the palace for a few days. On the morning of the second day after Shu Yonghe got married, the two princesses were sent back to the women's academy, so Geng Bai'an had no chance to see these two sisters at all. true face.After a long time, Geng Bai'an also forgot about it.So when the Empress Dowager brought the two children back to Geng Bai'an, Geng Bai'an was confused and didn't know what to do.

On the first day, I climbed a tree to pick fruit in the imperial garden, but because I couldn't climb it, someone cut down the tree in a rage.The next day, the koi were dropped in the imperial garden, because the koi had been fed long ago and did not take the bait, so in a fit of rage, someone caught more than a dozen of them and fed them to the cat.On the third day, I suddenly wanted to learn how bees make honey, so I plucked all the few flowers that bloom in this season in the imperial garden, and finally I only tossed for a while and gave up...

And so on.

They haven't come back for a few days, and the imperial garden has been overwhelmed by them.I don't know what the two little girls have to worry about with the Royal Garden, and they don't go anywhere else, so they just catch up with the Royal Garden and build it vigorously. No wonder they were sent out to study early.You must know that ordinary princesses are not sent to the academy until they are ten years old, but these two were sent away when they were only seven years old.

Seven years old is the age when people hate dogs. This decision is very reasonable.

The fourth princess, Shu Yunlan, is a very active little girl, or it is not quite appropriate to say that she is active, it should be said that she is a brat who is suspected of suffering from ADHD.She is always restless, even if you ask her to sit obediently, she still has to look around and play with her hands, usually she is the one who climbs trees, runs wildly, chases cats and dogs, etc. .He doesn't talk much but speaks his heart quickly, he can say whatever he has, and he never gives face to anyone because of his status, he looks like the arrogant version of Ji Yinian.

And the fifth princess Shu Yunruo is a little girl who looks knowledgeable, gentle and demure with a little cuteness, which complements Shu Yunlan's personality very well-but this is just what she looks like.She usually speaks softly, glutinously and cutely, but behind her back she is limp and limp.She was the one who came up with all the mischief behind her back, and Shu Yunlan did it.But if someone taught Shu Yunlan a lesson because of this, except for her parents and her first brother, everyone else would be crazily retaliated by the little girl. This is one of the reasons why everyone holds these two sisters in their hands.

I was really scared!

"Sister-in-law, why not play with us!" This day, Geng Bai'an had just returned to Yong'an Hall in the early morning to hold a regular meeting for everyone, when two little girls came up to greet each of them and hugged Geng Bai'an's arm like two dog skin plasters. Can't get rid of it.

Shu Yunlan and Shu Yunruo liked Geng Bai'an's sister-in-law quite a lot. I heard that she was not only knowledgeable and talented, but also came from a general's residence, so she knew some kung fu.This alone can't attract them, because I met Mrs. Yu Qing when I was bored two days ago, she said that their sister-in-law is a wonderful person and always thinks of strange new things, which attracts them every day. Come and pester the queen's wife.

Geng Bai'an really couldn't bear them, so he invited them to eat skewered hot pot, and wanted to be quiet for a few days.Unexpectedly, since the Chuan Chuan Guo started, it would be out of control, and the twins even thought that Yu Qing hadn't lied to them, so they relied on Geng Bai'an.

Because both arms are hugged by one left and one right, Geng Bai'an has a headache and can't hold his forehead. Fortunately, the doors of ancient houses are double doors, which are relatively large. Unable to enter the main hall of Yong'an Hall smoothly.When he walked in, he obviously heard a low snicker, and Geng Bai'an knew it must be from Ji Yinian without even looking.

Wang Leshui, Ji Yinian and Yu Gan had nothing but ridicule for Geng Bai'an's miserable situation, but the other two showed it in private, while Ji Yinian was more straightforward and never concealed it.

Except for these three people, the concubine's attitude towards Geng Bai'an is either envious or jealous, because Geng Bai'an himself is the queen, and he is deeply loved by the emperor.It's okay to be loved by the emperor, but he also won over the more favored Yu Gan and Wang Ji, two old people who used to serve in the palace.It's fine for a few people who are favored and senior to stick together, the emperor is just these two precious sisters, and when they see Geng Bai'an, they stick to it like brown sugar, making it impossible for others to do it.

This led to the embarrassing situation where Geng Bai'an was ridiculed by his own people but envied and envied by outsiders.

It is said that Tang Xiaohan went there to make friends with the two princesses on the first day they returned to the palace, but at first he couldn't find anyone, and when he went to look for them the next day, he hit a wall.On the way back to the dormitory, she cursed, somehow the two little demon kings found out, and the next day she made her cry for her father and mother, and she didn't even come to the regular meeting in the morning.After that, Tang Xiaohan hid away when he saw them, let alone approaching them, and the others were even more frightened.

On the contrary, Yu Qing is also a wimpy person, and secretly dumped these two little devil kings to Geng Bai'an with a few words.Fortunately, Geng Bai'an and the others didn't know, otherwise Yu Qing would really be unable to eat and walk away.

As a queen, Geng Bai'an has always been the center of people's attention, but it is really embarrassing to have no personal freedom like this, so she lowered her head and whispered: "You two first find a place to sit obediently and wait for me, and when I finish my work, I will take you to play .”

Shu Yunlan and Shu Yunruo looked at each other, then nodded: "Good sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law Huang is an interesting person, they must not make Aunt Huang angry, otherwise she will not be able to deal with her without playing with herself, what a loss.

So Geng Bai'an saw the two bouncing up to the main seat, one of them sat firmly on one side, there was obviously a space left in the middle, and they both waved to Geng Bai'an: "Sister-in-law Huang, come quickly."

Geng Bai'an couldn't help rolling his eyes, and walked forward step by step helplessly, starting the daily regular meeting—these two guys don't know whether this is their bedroom or his own.

Recently, there was nothing else going on in the palace other than preparing for the New Year, and this matter was originally handled by Geng Bai'an alone, so there was no need to tell the concubines, so the regular meeting ended after a few minutes.During the period, the two sisters were very obedient without arguing, except that the fourth princess Shu Yunlan started playing with Geng Bai'an's sleeve because she couldn't sit still, everything was perfect.
