Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 98
The stepmother sent someone to send a beautiful brother and a maid to her unmarried filial stepson, which was already criticized by others.
If the elder brother and maidservant who were sent here were already pregnant...it would be even more intriguing.
It's just that the child in this brother's hands looks so similar to Sir Xie...
The emperor glanced at the child, and then at Lord Xie, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flickered with undisguised light, no different from those gossiping villagers in Baitang Village.
Gossip is the essence of human beings, no matter what position that person is in, they are always curious about such family affairs of Earl Xie's family.
No matter how dull Lord Xie was, he could see the meaning in the emperor's eyes.
The scorching gaze lingered on his and the child's faces, to the effect that if what Xie Huaiyu said was true, the child was most likely his own son!
Sir Xie's face twitched!A gust of hot air rushed from the stomach to the top of the head, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out!
He is not a saint with a pure heart and asceticism. In addition to Lou's family, he also has two beautiful concubines.
But Mr. Xie is not old and confused, how could he fall asleep without knowing it.Not to mention that the brother holding the child is so beautiful, if I have seen it, I will never be unimpressed!
"You! You bastard! How dare you spout blood!" Grandpa Xie became anxious, and raised his hand towards Xie Huaiyu, intending to hit someone in front of the emperor.
If others are like this, no matter how angry he is, he still needs to swallow his breath and make a distinction.
But Xie Huaiyu is his son!It is only natural for Lao Tzu to teach his son!Even the emperor can't say anything!
Xie Huaiyu is not an honest son, if he dared to challenge Lord Xie at home, naturally he would not let him fight.
Lord Xie wanted to hit him, but he quickly dodged to dodge.While hiding, he said: "Father! In front of the Holy One, why did you do this? This child is not your son's. Are you going to force him to admit it? Although the son obeys the father's order, the son is also a descendant of the Xie family. It is so unknown Wouldn't it be shameful for the Xie family to recognize a son in vain? In the future, I will have no face to meet the ancestors of the Xie family!"
The more Xie Huaiyu talked, the angrier Mr. Xie became.The emperor watched the excitement for a while, and probably felt that it was inappropriate.Then he finally opened his mouth and said: "Xie Zheng, what kind of dignity are you in my imperial study, don't hurry up and stop."
Lord Xie had no choice but to back away a few steps, staring fiercely at Xie Huaiyu with his eyes, for fear that his dog would not be able to spit out ivory and say something to ruin his reputation.
After calming Lord Xie, the emperor coughed twice, and asked solemnly: "Master Xie, you just said that this brother's child is not yours... Then do you know who the child's father is? Do you have evidence? This cannot be said indiscriminately.”
"Your Majesty, this child's biological mother is here, and you will know who the child's father is." Xie Huaiyu said, "As for the child's biological father..."
Xie Huaiyu paused, glanced deliberately at Lord Xie, and said meaningfully: "The man was sent by Cao Min's stepmother, Cao Min didn't dare to ask."
"You!" Sir Xie blushed, if the emperor hadn't given the order, he wished he could rush over and tear Xie Huaiyu apart.
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched a few times, and he glanced at Xie Huaiyu.
At first, he thought that this son was upright and upright when he looked at Feng Shuyunlang.This time, it seems that he is a wilting bad guy.
It is true that Mrs. Xie's family sent someone to him, but he clearly saw that this person was pregnant, and deliberately raised it. It is not an easy way to give birth to the child.
Although the emperor was old, he was not a fatuous person, but a tiger with its claws back.
He had already been one step ahead of Lord Xie, saw Xie Huaiyu's strategy, and knew that he was definitely not the biological father of the child.
It's just that this matter has become like this, and there is an uproar in Beijing.Another minister participated in Mr. Xie's poor family management.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide the past.We can only follow Xie Huaiyu's plan to find out the truth of this matter.
As the Ninth Five-Year Supreme himself, but fell into the trap of others, the emperor was naturally dissatisfied, but there was a bit of appreciation in this dissatisfaction.
The Xie family has been the successor for three generations, it is useless for Xie Zheng, but fortunately Xie Huaiyu is shrewd.
It is more beneficial to the Zhao family's country that such a son-like figure wins the title and assists Daxuan Chaogang.
Thinking of this, he asked Lin Shuyu on the side: "My brother who is kneeling over there, tell me. Who is the biological father of this child you gave birth to?"
At this moment, Lin Shuyu's kneeling legs were numb, and the emperor finally spotted him and took a look at Xie Huaiyu.Gritting her teeth, she said what she had prepared a long time ago: "Report to Your Majesty, the untouchable Lin family, my child...my child belongs to Xie Qi, the second young master of the Xie family."
"You are talking nonsense!" As soon as Lin Shuyu said this, Lord Xie was like a thunderbolt.
He originally thought that Xie Huaiyu's birth of an illegitimate child would ruin the family of Xie's family and be abominable.But at this moment, when they heard that the child belonged to Xie Qi, they thought it might as well be Xie Huaiyu's.
Xie Huaiyu and Xie Qi's two sons, Xie Qi can't compare to Xie Huaiyu in everything.
But Xie Qi looks like him, with a noble status.He has paid more attention since he was a child, so he is naturally partial to him.
This matter caused a lot of trouble, and he must use the family law to give an explanation to outsiders.
If the child belongs to Xie Qi, then the person who handles it will change from Xie Huaiyu to Xie Qi.
If Xie Qi is expelled from Xie's house... Mr. Xie is in a cold sweat.
Xie Huaiyu is the only heir to the title, wouldn't he be even more arrogant in the future, and can he take himself as a father seriously?
For Lord Xie, the title of the Xie family is not impossible to pass on to Xie Huaiyu, but he is more willing to use it as a carrot to hang his two sons.Let them obey him for this title and let him control them.
If Xie Huaiyu was expelled from the Xie family, although Xie Qi would inherit the title, he was obedient after all, and his mother was in his hands.And Xie Huaiyu's biological mother is deceased, and his relationship with him is not very close, so he has nothing to handle him.
Although Sir Xie said that he did not acknowledge Lin Shuyu's words on the surface, he actually believed eight percent in his heart.
His own son, he knew it himself.
Xie Qi has a flirtatious nature, seeing this handsome young man, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be tempted.
Besides, this kid looks so similar to him!
He also resented Na Lou, thinking she was stupid.
My son had something wrong, so instead of dealing with it at home quickly, he sent him to the countryside.Now that it's done, there's still a lot of commotion, not only causing him to be attacked and wiped out, but there's nothing they can do to stop him.
At this time, Xie Huaiyu smiled slightly from the side: "So that's the case. Then it makes sense. Fortunately, it's not the father's child, and the father was cleared. No wonder the mother suddenly forced someone to come over. It turned out that she was pregnant with my younger brother." My child, my child, congratulate your father."
What he said, not only did not make Sir Xie feel gratified, but also made him half dead.
When the emperor heard that the child belonged to Xie Qi, he also frowned.
He had already heard about Xie Qi, the second son of the Xie family, and he heard that he often hangs around in Huajie and Liuxiang.This time it was even more absurd. Not only did he have a child, but he almost blamed his brother.
The emperor raised his hand and summoned two palace servants and said, "Come on, go to Xie's house and call Xie Qi for questioning!"
When the palace people arrived at Xie's house, Xie Qi was not at home.After inquiring around, I found out that he had accepted His Highness Zhao Yan's post to go out early in the morning, and now he is probably at His Highness's residence.
A few palace people went to the First Prince's mansion again, but they still couldn't find him. Finally, after asking someone, they found him in the Flower Street in the capital.
When Xie Qi was brought into the palace, she drank a lot and was still a little drunk.Zhao Yan didn't know what was going on, and was afraid that Xie Qi's nonsense would cause trouble for him, so he had no choice but to go to the palace with him.
The palace man who went to find the man reported the matter to the emperor, which really made him furious.
Xie Qi has an unhealthy style, she is obsessed with flower streets and willow alleys, but the eldest prince, as the eldest son of the royal family, should be a model, and it really hurts him to hang out with this Xie Qi.
Thinking about how Zhao Yan had spoken on behalf of Xie Qi earlier, the emperor was even more annoyed.I just think that Xie Qi is really hateful, and she has brought down her good Lin'er!
After pouring down several bowls of sobering soup, Xie Qi finally regained consciousness before being taken into the imperial study.
He is still young and has not yet achieved fame, and he does not know how old he was when he entered the palace last time.
Being brought into the palace suddenly this time, and having to face the saint, Xie Qi inevitably felt apprehensive.
He was brought into the majestic imperial study room, and his legs went limp when he saw the emperor with a worried face.
"Father Wan'an—" His Royal Highness Zhao Yan knelt on the ground and saluted his father.
"Your Majesty, Wan'an—" Xie Qi followed Zhao Yan's example and knelt down, fortunately, she did not lose the imperial etiquette.
Zhao Yan and Xie Qi reeked of alcohol.The emperor frowned, glared at Zhao Yan fiercely, then pointed at Xie Qi and said, "Xie Qi! You are misbehaving. Lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane."
Xie Qi was so scolded by the emperor that she was so frightened that her wine sobered up three points, and she was covered in cold sweat and kowtowed to admit her mistake.If he knew that the emperor would invite him into the palace, even if the gods in the sky came to call him, he would not dare to go out to eat flower wine!
Seeing Xie Qi like this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "I will not mention it beforehand. You had an affair with the young servant in your family before, made her pregnant, and sent her to the old house of Xie's family in the countryside to give birth to a son. Is there a matter?"
Xie Qi was startled, and raised her head, but she didn't know what it was.He was mostly sober at this time, only to notice that his father and elder brother were in the imperial study.
Seeing Xie Huaiyu's leisurely expression, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, he knew that this matter had something to do with him.
He couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this matter is all nonsense. That child belongs to Brother Caomin, Your Majesty must not listen to his nonsense!"
Seeing this, the eldest prince also knew that the emperor called Xie Qi over at this time, and it turned out that it was because of Xie Huaiyu's illegitimate son.
So he distinguished for Xie Qi: "Father, that child was born in the countryside. Xie Qi is in Beijing, how could the child belong to him."
"Xie Huaiyu, what do you say?" The emperor looked at him again when he heard the words.
Xie Huaiyu knew that it was impossible for them to admit the matter like this, but since he dared to set up such a situation, he was already prepared, so he said: "Who does the child belong to, there is no proof. But you can To test relatives, Daxuan has Linglong Grass, which can be used to test the blood relatives of children, as long as you find this grass and test it, you will know."
Hearing what Xie Huaiyu said, Zhao Yan was also taken aback.
Of course he knew that Daxuan had Linglong Grass to test relatives, but this kind of grass was rare, and it was not easy to find it.
He couldn't help looking at Xie Qi again, and saw him say with burning words: "Xie Huaiyu, you are so shameless, knowing that the exquisite grass is rare and hard to find, you dare to tell such a big lie. Do I have children?" Can I make a mistake? Please Your Majesty, this child is definitely not mine."
Xie Qi said with such certainty, Zhao Yan felt a little relieved, what Xie Qi said was true.
Does he still not know whether he has children?
This matter was probably caused by Xie Huaiyu who deliberately delayed and slandered Xie Qi.
"Xie Huaiyu, don't think that Linglong grass is hard to find, so you can slander it at will. If you want to find one or two Linglong grass in my Daxuan dynasty, you can't find it." Zhao Yan threatened.
Unexpectedly, Xie Huaiyu was not threatened by him at all. He just smiled and said indifferently: "Although Linglong grass is hard to find, it is just right. A few days ago, I just learned that someone from the second prince's residence gave me a plant." , why don’t you borrow it from him now. It’s better to return Caomin’s innocence.”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that he and Xie Qi might have fallen into someone else's trap.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Huaiyu carefully.This Xie Huaiyu is on good terms with his second son, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Liang must be involved in this matter, so he must have had some handiwork in it.
At this time, someone from the palace happened to come to report that the second prince, Zhao Liang, had been waiting outside the palace for a long time with his Linglong grass in his arms.
The emperor pursed his lips and snorted coldly. It was a coincidence that he, the second son, was indeed a scheming man.
"So, let that brother bring the child and test it with Linglong Grass!" said the emperor.
Just now when the child was crying, Lin Shuyu was taken by the palace servants, and carried the child to the side hall to feed it.
At this time, just after coaxing the child, he was brought over and walked in with Zhao Liang.
He had just stepped into the hall, when Xie Qi saw his face, she was stunned.
He opened his eyes wide, looking at the brother in front of him and the child in his hand without blinking.
This brother lowered his head, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure. There is a bright red cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.
Xie Qi thinks he is romantic, but he is not sentimental, and he doesn't care about ordinary brothel girls or brothers.Only this Shu'er was loved by him in every possible way, and even thought of redeeming him and raising him in another courtyard.
But it was rare for him to be emotional, but he was completely deceived.It turned out that this Shu'er was not a brother of Xiankeju, but someone his elder brother used to set him up.
He also thought about how depressed he was after the other party left, and after tossing and turning for a long time, he was even more filled with hatred.He didn't care about other things, he got up and rushed to Lin Shuyu, just slapped him, and called a bitch in his mouth.
Lin Shuyu was slapped hard, his face was on fire, and he almost threw the child out.
Xie Qi wanted to hit him a second time, but Xie Huaiyu stopped her and said, "Second brother seems to know this guy very well, if you keep hitting, this kid might be broken."
Seeing Xie Qi's behavior, everyone understood that Xie Qi knew this brother very well, and this child must be Xie Qi's own.
Zhao Yan knew that Xie Qi would not be able to evade this time, so he immediately stepped back a few steps, distanced himself from him and said, "Xie Qi, this child looks so similar to you. You just pretended not to know it earlier! Even I was deceived! "
"Father, the Linglong Grass has already been delivered. Let's test it, lest this brother lie and slander Xie Qi's innocence." Zhao Liang said.
At this point, the emperor can only let people have a test, as expected, Xie Qi is the biological father of this child, this matter will be sealed and there is no possibility of a comeback.
"Xie Qi, do you know your mistake?" The emperor looked at Xie Qi who was being escorted to the ground by two palace servants, and said in disgust: "Since the founding of the emperor, the Xie family has been awarded titles and passed down titles for heroic exploits, and now It has been three generations. In my territory of Daxuan, it is quite famous. But when you come here, you are so inconsiderate. You hang around Huajieliuxiang all day long, and you give birth to an heir out of wedlock. It is humiliating to thank your family! Enterprising, your father has been criticized by others, and your brother's reputation has been compromised, and I, a ninety-five supreme being, still want to take care of your family's mess!"
"It's my humble minister who can't teach his son well!" Lord Xie hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have caused the emperor to worry, and I really have no words to face the Holy Majesty. Please punish the Emperor."
Lord Xie saw that the emperor was extremely displeased with Xie Qi, but Xie Qi was also his beloved son.When Lord Xie said this, he was pleading with the emperor not to punish Xie Qi too harshly.
The emperor could hear the meaning of Lord Xie, and shook his head with a bit of resentment: "It is true that you and the Lou family have no way to teach your son. Xie Qi's punishment is up to you to decide!"
Lord Xie was reluctant to expel Xie Qi from Xie's house, but the punishment should not be too light, otherwise the emperor would be even more dissatisfied.After thinking for a while, he said: "Xie Qi has misbehaved and is not worthy of inheriting the title of the Xie family. I have deprived him of the opportunity to inherit the title and told him to go back and behave himself."
Xie Sir's move is not partial.Although Xie Qi has lost her title, as long as she earns her honor in the examinations, she may not be unable to ascend to the imperial court in the future.
But Xie Qi thought that she was a sure successor before, and everyone who publicized it outside knew it.
Now Sir Xie's move is to put his face on the ground and step on it, but to him, it is already a great blow.
The emperor also knew that Sir Xie was biased, so he deliberately asked Xie Huaiyu: "Master Xie, are you satisfied with Sir Xie's actions?"
Naturally, Xie Huaiyu couldn't say that he was dissatisfied at this time, and refuted the emperor's face, so he said: "Xie Qi is the younger brother of the Caomin. He misbehaved, and the Caomin should discipline his father more, and Caomin is also wrong. If the father does this, the Caomin will not No objection."
Hearing this, the emperor was somewhat satisfied with his attitude.This son is not greedy, but he has some affection for his father and brother, which is not bad.
The second prince, Zhao Liang, also came forward at this time and said: "Father, I inquired about this brother's background just now. Only then did I find out that he is a former minister, the direct son of Master Lin's family who commanded Tongzhi."
As soon as Zhao Liang mentioned it, the emperor also remembered that there was indeed such a person, but he was only a minor official of the fifth rank.
In the past, due to poor disaster relief, the people complained a lot, and many officials were implicated, including Lin Tongzhi.
This Lin Tongzhi was deprived of his official position and exiled, and his family members were also demoted to humble status.However, Lin Tongzhi did not do anything improper other than this, but because the people's grievances were difficult to resolve, he had to be used as an example.
Looking at Lin Shuyu at this time, the emperor felt a little more sympathy.Lin Shuyu is also a pitiful person who has changed from a son-in-law to a lowly one.
Zhao Liang keenly grasped the trace of regret in the emperor's eyes, and continued: "Since this brother has been born of the blood of the Xie family, why not give him a title and exempt him from low status. To the outside world, call him Xie Qi My concubine, this child has been pregnant for a long time, but because it is catching up with Xie's funeral, it is inconvenient to announce it, so I can only send it to the countryside to raise a baby. In this way, the child's name is much more legitimate. Although it is born by the concubine, it is still considered Don't do anything outrageous and immoral. How about an explanation to Mr. Liu?"
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes flickered. The most annoying thing about this matter was the one who complained, Mr. Liu.
There are two groups of courtiers, one is the old dang dominated by the Xie family and other families who inherited the title, and the other is the new dang who came in through scientific research mainly led by Mr. Liu and others.
These two parties have been fighting for a long time, always thinking that the east wind will overwhelm the west wind or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind.However, as the emperor, he naturally hoped that they would be evenly matched and restrain each other.
At this time, Zhao Liang's idea was really in his favor.
In this way, Lord Xie's punishment of Xie Qi can be said to be a severe punishment, and he has an explanation for Master Liu.On the Xie family's side, they also showed affection, which is really a win-win solution.
So the emperor said: "Brother Lin, since you gave birth to the Xie family's blood, for the sake of this child, I will remove your humble status and point you to Xie Qi as a concubine."
Lin Shuyu hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor, and kowtowed three times in a row, expressing her gratitude to the emperor. With this amulet, even when he arrived at Xie's house, Lou and Xie Qi dared not touch him, and he and the child were truly It's safe.
Sir Xie was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to thank him.
Xie Qi didn't have a chance with the title, and married such a concubine and had a son. In the future, better people would no longer consider him.
And Xie Qi looked up at Lin Shuyu at this time.This man lied to him since then, and now he has become his concubine and has a son.
In his heart, he hated this person so much that his teeth itch, but there was even a tinge of joy.
It's just that this joyful thought flashed by, and was suppressed by his reason.
Of course he would not admit that he still has a little affection for Shu'er at this moment.
After the matter of Xie's family was settled, the emperor waved his hand and asked Xie's family to leave.
After everyone left, only his two sons were left in the imperial study.
Zhao Yan and Zhao Liang, he has always loved Zhao Yan more because he is his first son and the eldest son of the Empress Qi's family.
But looking at it now, among these two people, Zhao Liang Chengfu is much deeper than Zhao Yan.
He looked at Zhao Yan again, and remembered that when he found Xie Qi today, he found the two of them eating and drinking in that flower street, accompanied by many brothel dancers.
Although Zhao Yan never really had anything to do with that prostitute, this move has already greatly lost the face of the royal family!
"Zhao Yan!" The emperor scolded him angrily: "As the eldest son of the royal family, I didn't scold you in front of Lord Xie, but I saved face for you. Then what is Xie Qi, you actually made friends with him? Hanging around in such places is really unclear!"
Being scolded by his father, but still in front of Zhao Liang, Zhao Yan fell to his knees with a bang, bowed his head repeatedly and admitted his mistake, but in his heart he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhao Liang and Xie Huaiyu.
After the emperor scolded him, he asked Zhao Yan to leave, leaving Zhao Liang alone.
He looked at Zhao Liang silently for a long time, and then said to him in a deep voice: "Brother loves and is friendly, and younger brother respects and obeys. What do you mean by this sentence?"
Zhao Liang said without hesitation: "This sentence comes from "Zuo Zhuan · Zhao Gong 26 Years", which means that the elder brother should be kind and friendly, and the younger brother should be respectful and obedient."
"Heh, what do you mean by standing outside the hall holding this pot of exquisite grass in advance today?" the emperor said.
Zhao Liang looked up at the emperor and said: "Ruishi is my best friend. He loves and is friendly to Xie Qi, but Xie Qi never respects and obeys him. It's just because Lord Xie can't treat the two sons equally, and there is something in his heart. The bias caused Xie Qi to have the wrong illusion and lead to the current situation. Your Majesty, do you remember that when the minister gave relief to the disaster, he mentioned a businessman surnamed Tang and voluntarily donated 30 shi Food, to solve the crisis of Daxuan."
"I remember..." The emperor frowned, not knowing why his son suddenly mentioned this matter again.
"This businessman surnamed Tang is just a pseudonym, and the person behind it is Xie Huaiyu." Zhao Liang said: "Xie Huaiyu did something that benefited the country and the people, but he didn't dare to say it. He only dared to use his mother's surname as a businessman surnamed Tang. Father, have you ever wondered why? Sir Xie Huaiyu was not happy with such a talent, and he almost let his son Xie Qi inherit the title. In recent years, Daxuan has encountered natural disasters one after another, and the treasury is already empty. The family has repeatedly invaded. If my Daxuan clan is full of dudes like Xie Qi in the future, how long can Daxuan Jiangshan be maintained?"
The emperor was startled, never expecting that Xie Huaiyu had such a background.
Thinking about it this way, this person is indeed a pillar of the country for his righteous deeds.Zhao Liang's win-win with him at this moment is also a long-term vision, for the sake of the Zhao family's society.
After Zhao Liang left, the emperor quietly thought about his two sons.
He used to always think that Zhao Yan was high-spirited and flamboyant, quite like him, and he was born of the empress, so he was also the favorite of him.But now it seems that Zhao Yan acted recklessly and lacked thoughtfulness, because he was spoiled by Queen Qi.
Thinking of Zhao Liang again, I just feel that his meek appearance in the past is similar to that of his deceased mother, which is not lovable.
To this day, Zhao Liang showed his ambition, which made him look at him differently.The descendants of his Zhao family were really different, Zhao Liang acted beforehand, and he had some of his demeanor back then.
At night, Empress Qi asked to see her.
The emperor let her in, and saw that she was holding a bowl of lotus seed soup in her hand.
The Qi family is the official wife that the emperor made before he ascended the throne, she is very beautiful, and he asked for it himself, so she loves her very much.
Otherwise, even if he is in power now, he would not turn a blind eye and let the Qi family grow bigger like this.
The Qi family is now past the age of doubt, this woman has passed such an age, no matter how much she takes care of her, she still looks old.Naturally, it is not as good as those young concubines in the palace.
In the past in Qi's palace, she deliberately made the candlelight dim so that people could not see the marks on her face.
Now here is the Imperial Study Room, where the lights are bright.
The first time the emperor saw her, he saw her loose skin and fine lines around her lips.
A thought flashed in the emperor's mind, he just felt that his empress was really old now, not as unparalleled as when he first saw her.
But for a while, the emperor's love for her did not diminish because of this, he only asked Qi's coming here at this time, I don't know what is the important thing.
As soon as the Qi family saw the emperor, they first apologized, saying that they were incapable of teaching their children, which made the emperor worry.
The emperor was also very relieved in his heart, comforted the Qi family, and did not blame Zhao Yanzhi's fault on the Qi family, but only said that his son's behavior was wrong, and let him guide him to the right path.
Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to blame herself, the Qi family only felt that the other party still loved her as before, so she smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although Yan'er made a mistake this time, the Xie family's matter is too strange. How could that The people around Xie Huaiyu had Xie Qi's child, and this matter was still rumored. Liang'er and Xie Huaiyu had always been friends, but they happened to have this Linglong grass. That Linglong grass is not everywhere Things are very rare. The concubine is afraid... Yan'er is a simple person, because he was caught by someone..."
After she finished speaking, she saw the emperor put down the lotus seed soup in his hand and looked up at her with a strange chill in his eyes.
Mrs. Qi couldn't help shivering, her heart trembled, and then she heard the emperor say: "My descendants of Mrs. Zhao behave uprightly and sit upright, even if they have a trick, they can't get in. You said that you can't teach your children well. I haven't felt it yet, but now it seems that you have spoiled Yan'er, which made him so inconsiderate!"
The emperor looked at Qi Shi again, and felt that under the bright candlelight, she was completely old. In her phoenix eyes, it was no longer the admiration and admiration for herself when she was young, but only the desire and greed for power.
Empress Qi looked at the tall man in front of her, and saw him say to herself with a frosty face: "The wealth and honor of your Qi family today is all given by me. I can give it to you, and I can take it back at any time. Although I am in Inside the palace, but not outside. It is rumored outside that the Qi family is the number one businessman of Daxuan, but Daxuan has been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, do you have half of your mind to share my worries?"
"Even if Xie Huaiyu plotted against Xie Qi, I can only blame Yan'er for not being able to know people clearly and wanting to hang out with that Xie Qi. Besides, Xie Huaiyu donated 30 shi of grain to the disaster victims in the northern border. Just looking at this, the title of the Xie family is also in favor of him!"
In the darkness, the Qi family left the emperor's bedroom wearing a white fox cloak.
She has been married to the Zhao family for more than 20 years, and this is the first time she was driven away by the emperor.
The weather in the capital city in March was quite cold, and a gust of cool wind hit her, even with the cover of the white fox cloak, she couldn't help shivering.
She always felt that she understood this supreme man, but she didn't realize it until today.The him he knew in his heart was not the real him.And everything he owns now, as he said, like duckweed in the water, is all given by him...
If the elder brother and maidservant who were sent here were already pregnant...it would be even more intriguing.
It's just that the child in this brother's hands looks so similar to Sir Xie...
The emperor glanced at the child, and then at Lord Xie, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flickered with undisguised light, no different from those gossiping villagers in Baitang Village.
Gossip is the essence of human beings, no matter what position that person is in, they are always curious about such family affairs of Earl Xie's family.
No matter how dull Lord Xie was, he could see the meaning in the emperor's eyes.
The scorching gaze lingered on his and the child's faces, to the effect that if what Xie Huaiyu said was true, the child was most likely his own son!
Sir Xie's face twitched!A gust of hot air rushed from the stomach to the top of the head, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out!
He is not a saint with a pure heart and asceticism. In addition to Lou's family, he also has two beautiful concubines.
But Mr. Xie is not old and confused, how could he fall asleep without knowing it.Not to mention that the brother holding the child is so beautiful, if I have seen it, I will never be unimpressed!
"You! You bastard! How dare you spout blood!" Grandpa Xie became anxious, and raised his hand towards Xie Huaiyu, intending to hit someone in front of the emperor.
If others are like this, no matter how angry he is, he still needs to swallow his breath and make a distinction.
But Xie Huaiyu is his son!It is only natural for Lao Tzu to teach his son!Even the emperor can't say anything!
Xie Huaiyu is not an honest son, if he dared to challenge Lord Xie at home, naturally he would not let him fight.
Lord Xie wanted to hit him, but he quickly dodged to dodge.While hiding, he said: "Father! In front of the Holy One, why did you do this? This child is not your son's. Are you going to force him to admit it? Although the son obeys the father's order, the son is also a descendant of the Xie family. It is so unknown Wouldn't it be shameful for the Xie family to recognize a son in vain? In the future, I will have no face to meet the ancestors of the Xie family!"
The more Xie Huaiyu talked, the angrier Mr. Xie became.The emperor watched the excitement for a while, and probably felt that it was inappropriate.Then he finally opened his mouth and said: "Xie Zheng, what kind of dignity are you in my imperial study, don't hurry up and stop."
Lord Xie had no choice but to back away a few steps, staring fiercely at Xie Huaiyu with his eyes, for fear that his dog would not be able to spit out ivory and say something to ruin his reputation.
After calming Lord Xie, the emperor coughed twice, and asked solemnly: "Master Xie, you just said that this brother's child is not yours... Then do you know who the child's father is? Do you have evidence? This cannot be said indiscriminately.”
"Your Majesty, this child's biological mother is here, and you will know who the child's father is." Xie Huaiyu said, "As for the child's biological father..."
Xie Huaiyu paused, glanced deliberately at Lord Xie, and said meaningfully: "The man was sent by Cao Min's stepmother, Cao Min didn't dare to ask."
"You!" Sir Xie blushed, if the emperor hadn't given the order, he wished he could rush over and tear Xie Huaiyu apart.
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched a few times, and he glanced at Xie Huaiyu.
At first, he thought that this son was upright and upright when he looked at Feng Shuyunlang.This time, it seems that he is a wilting bad guy.
It is true that Mrs. Xie's family sent someone to him, but he clearly saw that this person was pregnant, and deliberately raised it. It is not an easy way to give birth to the child.
Although the emperor was old, he was not a fatuous person, but a tiger with its claws back.
He had already been one step ahead of Lord Xie, saw Xie Huaiyu's strategy, and knew that he was definitely not the biological father of the child.
It's just that this matter has become like this, and there is an uproar in Beijing.Another minister participated in Mr. Xie's poor family management.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide the past.We can only follow Xie Huaiyu's plan to find out the truth of this matter.
As the Ninth Five-Year Supreme himself, but fell into the trap of others, the emperor was naturally dissatisfied, but there was a bit of appreciation in this dissatisfaction.
The Xie family has been the successor for three generations, it is useless for Xie Zheng, but fortunately Xie Huaiyu is shrewd.
It is more beneficial to the Zhao family's country that such a son-like figure wins the title and assists Daxuan Chaogang.
Thinking of this, he asked Lin Shuyu on the side: "My brother who is kneeling over there, tell me. Who is the biological father of this child you gave birth to?"
At this moment, Lin Shuyu's kneeling legs were numb, and the emperor finally spotted him and took a look at Xie Huaiyu.Gritting her teeth, she said what she had prepared a long time ago: "Report to Your Majesty, the untouchable Lin family, my child...my child belongs to Xie Qi, the second young master of the Xie family."
"You are talking nonsense!" As soon as Lin Shuyu said this, Lord Xie was like a thunderbolt.
He originally thought that Xie Huaiyu's birth of an illegitimate child would ruin the family of Xie's family and be abominable.But at this moment, when they heard that the child belonged to Xie Qi, they thought it might as well be Xie Huaiyu's.
Xie Huaiyu and Xie Qi's two sons, Xie Qi can't compare to Xie Huaiyu in everything.
But Xie Qi looks like him, with a noble status.He has paid more attention since he was a child, so he is naturally partial to him.
This matter caused a lot of trouble, and he must use the family law to give an explanation to outsiders.
If the child belongs to Xie Qi, then the person who handles it will change from Xie Huaiyu to Xie Qi.
If Xie Qi is expelled from Xie's house... Mr. Xie is in a cold sweat.
Xie Huaiyu is the only heir to the title, wouldn't he be even more arrogant in the future, and can he take himself as a father seriously?
For Lord Xie, the title of the Xie family is not impossible to pass on to Xie Huaiyu, but he is more willing to use it as a carrot to hang his two sons.Let them obey him for this title and let him control them.
If Xie Huaiyu was expelled from the Xie family, although Xie Qi would inherit the title, he was obedient after all, and his mother was in his hands.And Xie Huaiyu's biological mother is deceased, and his relationship with him is not very close, so he has nothing to handle him.
Although Sir Xie said that he did not acknowledge Lin Shuyu's words on the surface, he actually believed eight percent in his heart.
His own son, he knew it himself.
Xie Qi has a flirtatious nature, seeing this handsome young man, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be tempted.
Besides, this kid looks so similar to him!
He also resented Na Lou, thinking she was stupid.
My son had something wrong, so instead of dealing with it at home quickly, he sent him to the countryside.Now that it's done, there's still a lot of commotion, not only causing him to be attacked and wiped out, but there's nothing they can do to stop him.
At this time, Xie Huaiyu smiled slightly from the side: "So that's the case. Then it makes sense. Fortunately, it's not the father's child, and the father was cleared. No wonder the mother suddenly forced someone to come over. It turned out that she was pregnant with my younger brother." My child, my child, congratulate your father."
What he said, not only did not make Sir Xie feel gratified, but also made him half dead.
When the emperor heard that the child belonged to Xie Qi, he also frowned.
He had already heard about Xie Qi, the second son of the Xie family, and he heard that he often hangs around in Huajie and Liuxiang.This time it was even more absurd. Not only did he have a child, but he almost blamed his brother.
The emperor raised his hand and summoned two palace servants and said, "Come on, go to Xie's house and call Xie Qi for questioning!"
When the palace people arrived at Xie's house, Xie Qi was not at home.After inquiring around, I found out that he had accepted His Highness Zhao Yan's post to go out early in the morning, and now he is probably at His Highness's residence.
A few palace people went to the First Prince's mansion again, but they still couldn't find him. Finally, after asking someone, they found him in the Flower Street in the capital.
When Xie Qi was brought into the palace, she drank a lot and was still a little drunk.Zhao Yan didn't know what was going on, and was afraid that Xie Qi's nonsense would cause trouble for him, so he had no choice but to go to the palace with him.
The palace man who went to find the man reported the matter to the emperor, which really made him furious.
Xie Qi has an unhealthy style, she is obsessed with flower streets and willow alleys, but the eldest prince, as the eldest son of the royal family, should be a model, and it really hurts him to hang out with this Xie Qi.
Thinking about how Zhao Yan had spoken on behalf of Xie Qi earlier, the emperor was even more annoyed.I just think that Xie Qi is really hateful, and she has brought down her good Lin'er!
After pouring down several bowls of sobering soup, Xie Qi finally regained consciousness before being taken into the imperial study.
He is still young and has not yet achieved fame, and he does not know how old he was when he entered the palace last time.
Being brought into the palace suddenly this time, and having to face the saint, Xie Qi inevitably felt apprehensive.
He was brought into the majestic imperial study room, and his legs went limp when he saw the emperor with a worried face.
"Father Wan'an—" His Royal Highness Zhao Yan knelt on the ground and saluted his father.
"Your Majesty, Wan'an—" Xie Qi followed Zhao Yan's example and knelt down, fortunately, she did not lose the imperial etiquette.
Zhao Yan and Xie Qi reeked of alcohol.The emperor frowned, glared at Zhao Yan fiercely, then pointed at Xie Qi and said, "Xie Qi! You are misbehaving. Lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane."
Xie Qi was so scolded by the emperor that she was so frightened that her wine sobered up three points, and she was covered in cold sweat and kowtowed to admit her mistake.If he knew that the emperor would invite him into the palace, even if the gods in the sky came to call him, he would not dare to go out to eat flower wine!
Seeing Xie Qi like this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "I will not mention it beforehand. You had an affair with the young servant in your family before, made her pregnant, and sent her to the old house of Xie's family in the countryside to give birth to a son. Is there a matter?"
Xie Qi was startled, and raised her head, but she didn't know what it was.He was mostly sober at this time, only to notice that his father and elder brother were in the imperial study.
Seeing Xie Huaiyu's leisurely expression, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, he knew that this matter had something to do with him.
He couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this matter is all nonsense. That child belongs to Brother Caomin, Your Majesty must not listen to his nonsense!"
Seeing this, the eldest prince also knew that the emperor called Xie Qi over at this time, and it turned out that it was because of Xie Huaiyu's illegitimate son.
So he distinguished for Xie Qi: "Father, that child was born in the countryside. Xie Qi is in Beijing, how could the child belong to him."
"Xie Huaiyu, what do you say?" The emperor looked at him again when he heard the words.
Xie Huaiyu knew that it was impossible for them to admit the matter like this, but since he dared to set up such a situation, he was already prepared, so he said: "Who does the child belong to, there is no proof. But you can To test relatives, Daxuan has Linglong Grass, which can be used to test the blood relatives of children, as long as you find this grass and test it, you will know."
Hearing what Xie Huaiyu said, Zhao Yan was also taken aback.
Of course he knew that Daxuan had Linglong Grass to test relatives, but this kind of grass was rare, and it was not easy to find it.
He couldn't help looking at Xie Qi again, and saw him say with burning words: "Xie Huaiyu, you are so shameless, knowing that the exquisite grass is rare and hard to find, you dare to tell such a big lie. Do I have children?" Can I make a mistake? Please Your Majesty, this child is definitely not mine."
Xie Qi said with such certainty, Zhao Yan felt a little relieved, what Xie Qi said was true.
Does he still not know whether he has children?
This matter was probably caused by Xie Huaiyu who deliberately delayed and slandered Xie Qi.
"Xie Huaiyu, don't think that Linglong grass is hard to find, so you can slander it at will. If you want to find one or two Linglong grass in my Daxuan dynasty, you can't find it." Zhao Yan threatened.
Unexpectedly, Xie Huaiyu was not threatened by him at all. He just smiled and said indifferently: "Although Linglong grass is hard to find, it is just right. A few days ago, I just learned that someone from the second prince's residence gave me a plant." , why don’t you borrow it from him now. It’s better to return Caomin’s innocence.”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that he and Xie Qi might have fallen into someone else's trap.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Huaiyu carefully.This Xie Huaiyu is on good terms with his second son, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Liang must be involved in this matter, so he must have had some handiwork in it.
At this time, someone from the palace happened to come to report that the second prince, Zhao Liang, had been waiting outside the palace for a long time with his Linglong grass in his arms.
The emperor pursed his lips and snorted coldly. It was a coincidence that he, the second son, was indeed a scheming man.
"So, let that brother bring the child and test it with Linglong Grass!" said the emperor.
Just now when the child was crying, Lin Shuyu was taken by the palace servants, and carried the child to the side hall to feed it.
At this time, just after coaxing the child, he was brought over and walked in with Zhao Liang.
He had just stepped into the hall, when Xie Qi saw his face, she was stunned.
He opened his eyes wide, looking at the brother in front of him and the child in his hand without blinking.
This brother lowered his head, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure. There is a bright red cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.
Xie Qi thinks he is romantic, but he is not sentimental, and he doesn't care about ordinary brothel girls or brothers.Only this Shu'er was loved by him in every possible way, and even thought of redeeming him and raising him in another courtyard.
But it was rare for him to be emotional, but he was completely deceived.It turned out that this Shu'er was not a brother of Xiankeju, but someone his elder brother used to set him up.
He also thought about how depressed he was after the other party left, and after tossing and turning for a long time, he was even more filled with hatred.He didn't care about other things, he got up and rushed to Lin Shuyu, just slapped him, and called a bitch in his mouth.
Lin Shuyu was slapped hard, his face was on fire, and he almost threw the child out.
Xie Qi wanted to hit him a second time, but Xie Huaiyu stopped her and said, "Second brother seems to know this guy very well, if you keep hitting, this kid might be broken."
Seeing Xie Qi's behavior, everyone understood that Xie Qi knew this brother very well, and this child must be Xie Qi's own.
Zhao Yan knew that Xie Qi would not be able to evade this time, so he immediately stepped back a few steps, distanced himself from him and said, "Xie Qi, this child looks so similar to you. You just pretended not to know it earlier! Even I was deceived! "
"Father, the Linglong Grass has already been delivered. Let's test it, lest this brother lie and slander Xie Qi's innocence." Zhao Liang said.
At this point, the emperor can only let people have a test, as expected, Xie Qi is the biological father of this child, this matter will be sealed and there is no possibility of a comeback.
"Xie Qi, do you know your mistake?" The emperor looked at Xie Qi who was being escorted to the ground by two palace servants, and said in disgust: "Since the founding of the emperor, the Xie family has been awarded titles and passed down titles for heroic exploits, and now It has been three generations. In my territory of Daxuan, it is quite famous. But when you come here, you are so inconsiderate. You hang around Huajieliuxiang all day long, and you give birth to an heir out of wedlock. It is humiliating to thank your family! Enterprising, your father has been criticized by others, and your brother's reputation has been compromised, and I, a ninety-five supreme being, still want to take care of your family's mess!"
"It's my humble minister who can't teach his son well!" Lord Xie hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have caused the emperor to worry, and I really have no words to face the Holy Majesty. Please punish the Emperor."
Lord Xie saw that the emperor was extremely displeased with Xie Qi, but Xie Qi was also his beloved son.When Lord Xie said this, he was pleading with the emperor not to punish Xie Qi too harshly.
The emperor could hear the meaning of Lord Xie, and shook his head with a bit of resentment: "It is true that you and the Lou family have no way to teach your son. Xie Qi's punishment is up to you to decide!"
Lord Xie was reluctant to expel Xie Qi from Xie's house, but the punishment should not be too light, otherwise the emperor would be even more dissatisfied.After thinking for a while, he said: "Xie Qi has misbehaved and is not worthy of inheriting the title of the Xie family. I have deprived him of the opportunity to inherit the title and told him to go back and behave himself."
Xie Sir's move is not partial.Although Xie Qi has lost her title, as long as she earns her honor in the examinations, she may not be unable to ascend to the imperial court in the future.
But Xie Qi thought that she was a sure successor before, and everyone who publicized it outside knew it.
Now Sir Xie's move is to put his face on the ground and step on it, but to him, it is already a great blow.
The emperor also knew that Sir Xie was biased, so he deliberately asked Xie Huaiyu: "Master Xie, are you satisfied with Sir Xie's actions?"
Naturally, Xie Huaiyu couldn't say that he was dissatisfied at this time, and refuted the emperor's face, so he said: "Xie Qi is the younger brother of the Caomin. He misbehaved, and the Caomin should discipline his father more, and Caomin is also wrong. If the father does this, the Caomin will not No objection."
Hearing this, the emperor was somewhat satisfied with his attitude.This son is not greedy, but he has some affection for his father and brother, which is not bad.
The second prince, Zhao Liang, also came forward at this time and said: "Father, I inquired about this brother's background just now. Only then did I find out that he is a former minister, the direct son of Master Lin's family who commanded Tongzhi."
As soon as Zhao Liang mentioned it, the emperor also remembered that there was indeed such a person, but he was only a minor official of the fifth rank.
In the past, due to poor disaster relief, the people complained a lot, and many officials were implicated, including Lin Tongzhi.
This Lin Tongzhi was deprived of his official position and exiled, and his family members were also demoted to humble status.However, Lin Tongzhi did not do anything improper other than this, but because the people's grievances were difficult to resolve, he had to be used as an example.
Looking at Lin Shuyu at this time, the emperor felt a little more sympathy.Lin Shuyu is also a pitiful person who has changed from a son-in-law to a lowly one.
Zhao Liang keenly grasped the trace of regret in the emperor's eyes, and continued: "Since this brother has been born of the blood of the Xie family, why not give him a title and exempt him from low status. To the outside world, call him Xie Qi My concubine, this child has been pregnant for a long time, but because it is catching up with Xie's funeral, it is inconvenient to announce it, so I can only send it to the countryside to raise a baby. In this way, the child's name is much more legitimate. Although it is born by the concubine, it is still considered Don't do anything outrageous and immoral. How about an explanation to Mr. Liu?"
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes flickered. The most annoying thing about this matter was the one who complained, Mr. Liu.
There are two groups of courtiers, one is the old dang dominated by the Xie family and other families who inherited the title, and the other is the new dang who came in through scientific research mainly led by Mr. Liu and others.
These two parties have been fighting for a long time, always thinking that the east wind will overwhelm the west wind or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind.However, as the emperor, he naturally hoped that they would be evenly matched and restrain each other.
At this time, Zhao Liang's idea was really in his favor.
In this way, Lord Xie's punishment of Xie Qi can be said to be a severe punishment, and he has an explanation for Master Liu.On the Xie family's side, they also showed affection, which is really a win-win solution.
So the emperor said: "Brother Lin, since you gave birth to the Xie family's blood, for the sake of this child, I will remove your humble status and point you to Xie Qi as a concubine."
Lin Shuyu hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor, and kowtowed three times in a row, expressing her gratitude to the emperor. With this amulet, even when he arrived at Xie's house, Lou and Xie Qi dared not touch him, and he and the child were truly It's safe.
Sir Xie was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to thank him.
Xie Qi didn't have a chance with the title, and married such a concubine and had a son. In the future, better people would no longer consider him.
And Xie Qi looked up at Lin Shuyu at this time.This man lied to him since then, and now he has become his concubine and has a son.
In his heart, he hated this person so much that his teeth itch, but there was even a tinge of joy.
It's just that this joyful thought flashed by, and was suppressed by his reason.
Of course he would not admit that he still has a little affection for Shu'er at this moment.
After the matter of Xie's family was settled, the emperor waved his hand and asked Xie's family to leave.
After everyone left, only his two sons were left in the imperial study.
Zhao Yan and Zhao Liang, he has always loved Zhao Yan more because he is his first son and the eldest son of the Empress Qi's family.
But looking at it now, among these two people, Zhao Liang Chengfu is much deeper than Zhao Yan.
He looked at Zhao Yan again, and remembered that when he found Xie Qi today, he found the two of them eating and drinking in that flower street, accompanied by many brothel dancers.
Although Zhao Yan never really had anything to do with that prostitute, this move has already greatly lost the face of the royal family!
"Zhao Yan!" The emperor scolded him angrily: "As the eldest son of the royal family, I didn't scold you in front of Lord Xie, but I saved face for you. Then what is Xie Qi, you actually made friends with him? Hanging around in such places is really unclear!"
Being scolded by his father, but still in front of Zhao Liang, Zhao Yan fell to his knees with a bang, bowed his head repeatedly and admitted his mistake, but in his heart he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhao Liang and Xie Huaiyu.
After the emperor scolded him, he asked Zhao Yan to leave, leaving Zhao Liang alone.
He looked at Zhao Liang silently for a long time, and then said to him in a deep voice: "Brother loves and is friendly, and younger brother respects and obeys. What do you mean by this sentence?"
Zhao Liang said without hesitation: "This sentence comes from "Zuo Zhuan · Zhao Gong 26 Years", which means that the elder brother should be kind and friendly, and the younger brother should be respectful and obedient."
"Heh, what do you mean by standing outside the hall holding this pot of exquisite grass in advance today?" the emperor said.
Zhao Liang looked up at the emperor and said: "Ruishi is my best friend. He loves and is friendly to Xie Qi, but Xie Qi never respects and obeys him. It's just because Lord Xie can't treat the two sons equally, and there is something in his heart. The bias caused Xie Qi to have the wrong illusion and lead to the current situation. Your Majesty, do you remember that when the minister gave relief to the disaster, he mentioned a businessman surnamed Tang and voluntarily donated 30 shi Food, to solve the crisis of Daxuan."
"I remember..." The emperor frowned, not knowing why his son suddenly mentioned this matter again.
"This businessman surnamed Tang is just a pseudonym, and the person behind it is Xie Huaiyu." Zhao Liang said: "Xie Huaiyu did something that benefited the country and the people, but he didn't dare to say it. He only dared to use his mother's surname as a businessman surnamed Tang. Father, have you ever wondered why? Sir Xie Huaiyu was not happy with such a talent, and he almost let his son Xie Qi inherit the title. In recent years, Daxuan has encountered natural disasters one after another, and the treasury is already empty. The family has repeatedly invaded. If my Daxuan clan is full of dudes like Xie Qi in the future, how long can Daxuan Jiangshan be maintained?"
The emperor was startled, never expecting that Xie Huaiyu had such a background.
Thinking about it this way, this person is indeed a pillar of the country for his righteous deeds.Zhao Liang's win-win with him at this moment is also a long-term vision, for the sake of the Zhao family's society.
After Zhao Liang left, the emperor quietly thought about his two sons.
He used to always think that Zhao Yan was high-spirited and flamboyant, quite like him, and he was born of the empress, so he was also the favorite of him.But now it seems that Zhao Yan acted recklessly and lacked thoughtfulness, because he was spoiled by Queen Qi.
Thinking of Zhao Liang again, I just feel that his meek appearance in the past is similar to that of his deceased mother, which is not lovable.
To this day, Zhao Liang showed his ambition, which made him look at him differently.The descendants of his Zhao family were really different, Zhao Liang acted beforehand, and he had some of his demeanor back then.
At night, Empress Qi asked to see her.
The emperor let her in, and saw that she was holding a bowl of lotus seed soup in her hand.
The Qi family is the official wife that the emperor made before he ascended the throne, she is very beautiful, and he asked for it himself, so she loves her very much.
Otherwise, even if he is in power now, he would not turn a blind eye and let the Qi family grow bigger like this.
The Qi family is now past the age of doubt, this woman has passed such an age, no matter how much she takes care of her, she still looks old.Naturally, it is not as good as those young concubines in the palace.
In the past in Qi's palace, she deliberately made the candlelight dim so that people could not see the marks on her face.
Now here is the Imperial Study Room, where the lights are bright.
The first time the emperor saw her, he saw her loose skin and fine lines around her lips.
A thought flashed in the emperor's mind, he just felt that his empress was really old now, not as unparalleled as when he first saw her.
But for a while, the emperor's love for her did not diminish because of this, he only asked Qi's coming here at this time, I don't know what is the important thing.
As soon as the Qi family saw the emperor, they first apologized, saying that they were incapable of teaching their children, which made the emperor worry.
The emperor was also very relieved in his heart, comforted the Qi family, and did not blame Zhao Yanzhi's fault on the Qi family, but only said that his son's behavior was wrong, and let him guide him to the right path.
Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to blame herself, the Qi family only felt that the other party still loved her as before, so she smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although Yan'er made a mistake this time, the Xie family's matter is too strange. How could that The people around Xie Huaiyu had Xie Qi's child, and this matter was still rumored. Liang'er and Xie Huaiyu had always been friends, but they happened to have this Linglong grass. That Linglong grass is not everywhere Things are very rare. The concubine is afraid... Yan'er is a simple person, because he was caught by someone..."
After she finished speaking, she saw the emperor put down the lotus seed soup in his hand and looked up at her with a strange chill in his eyes.
Mrs. Qi couldn't help shivering, her heart trembled, and then she heard the emperor say: "My descendants of Mrs. Zhao behave uprightly and sit upright, even if they have a trick, they can't get in. You said that you can't teach your children well. I haven't felt it yet, but now it seems that you have spoiled Yan'er, which made him so inconsiderate!"
The emperor looked at Qi Shi again, and felt that under the bright candlelight, she was completely old. In her phoenix eyes, it was no longer the admiration and admiration for herself when she was young, but only the desire and greed for power.
Empress Qi looked at the tall man in front of her, and saw him say to herself with a frosty face: "The wealth and honor of your Qi family today is all given by me. I can give it to you, and I can take it back at any time. Although I am in Inside the palace, but not outside. It is rumored outside that the Qi family is the number one businessman of Daxuan, but Daxuan has been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, do you have half of your mind to share my worries?"
"Even if Xie Huaiyu plotted against Xie Qi, I can only blame Yan'er for not being able to know people clearly and wanting to hang out with that Xie Qi. Besides, Xie Huaiyu donated 30 shi of grain to the disaster victims in the northern border. Just looking at this, the title of the Xie family is also in favor of him!"
In the darkness, the Qi family left the emperor's bedroom wearing a white fox cloak.
She has been married to the Zhao family for more than 20 years, and this is the first time she was driven away by the emperor.
The weather in the capital city in March was quite cold, and a gust of cool wind hit her, even with the cover of the white fox cloak, she couldn't help shivering.
She always felt that she understood this supreme man, but she didn't realize it until today.The him he knew in his heart was not the real him.And everything he owns now, as he said, like duckweed in the water, is all given by him...
