The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 27

Before Anguo was ready, the carriage of Pingjiang Houfu arrived. A maid helped Madam Ping Jianghou to get out of the carriage, and Wei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, met with Madam Ping Jianghou, and welcomed them to the inner courtyard.

Xu Che jumped off the horse, drew out the silver spear on the horse and held a flower in his hand, obviously not intending to put down the weapon.

Lou Jianyu rushed to greet her with a smile. Seeing Nan, San Shulou looked at the shiny silver gun, couldn’t help but shrank his neck, and hid behind his second brother.

Seeing Zhang in the second uncle building, seeing the battle, I felt a little drumming in my heart. Those in the Pingjiang Hou’s family are strong in martial arts and have a bad temper. If they don’t agree with each other, they will fight it out. Today, it seems that the visitor is not good. Do you still want your own son to accompany you?

Xu Che ignored everyone, and walked in with a dark face. According to what he meant, he even told Lou Jianyu what the truth was, and he was out of anger by hitting him directly, but he was trained by his sister-in-law and asked him to say a few words today, waiting for Lou Jing to make an idea.

The eldest aunt entered the inner courtyard, and the second aunt and the third aunt brought their family’s daughter-in-law and unmarried daughter to greet them.

The second aunt smiled and said, “My sister-in-law hasn’t come for a long time.” She took her new daughter-in-law and showed it to Mrs. Ping Jianghou.

The eldest aunt smiled reservedly and rewarded the second aunt’s daughter-in-law with a pair of red gold bracelets. The third aunt hurriedly pulled her daughter to show off to Mrs. Ping Jianghou, and obtained a South Sea pearl hairpin.

Wei looked at the crowd around Madam Pingjianghou, and secretly squeezed the veil in his hand. When his sister-in-law, Mrs. Yongningbo, came, she didn’t see these wives so diligent. After all, she still looked down on her frail family.

Madam Pingjiang Hou was not welcome, and sat directly on the main seat, “My sister-in-law went early and Zhuoyu got married. We should send someone from the Xu family. However, the mountains are high and the road is far away. I hope my wife will not be surprised. “

If Lou Jing’s other aunts came, Wei would not be suppressed, but this great aunt was the first-class Mrs. Pingjiang Hou, and her Wei’s was just a continuation, even Mrs. Guo’s wife was only a first-class seal.

“My sister-in-law is really polite. Lingnan is three thousand miles away from Beijing. It’s not easy to be able to come over so quickly.” Wei Shi suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said with a smile.

“My sister-in-law has passed away, Zhuoyu married again, and I can’t control anything else,” Mrs. Ping Jianghou had a deep gaze. She had been a mistress for many years, and she had an unangered and prestigious stern. I heard that someone in this mansion swallowed my sister-in-law’s dowry.”

“Hiss—” Both aunts and aunts gasped, staring at each other. Regardless of whether the division is divided or not, if the aunt’s mother passes away, all the dowry must be returned to the aunt’s son. Who dares to swallow this wife’s dowry? I couldn’t help but look at the gloomy Wei family. Now the lady of the country is presiding over the central feed of the house. Who else is there besides her?

The smile on Wei’s face can no longer be maintained, and he calmly said: “Sister-in-law’s words are really strange. Sister Xu’s dowry is in the hands of the son, and no one can be greedy.”

Before I was waiting to say anything, the mother-in-law’s report came from outside the door, “The princess has returned to the house, and she has also brought her gift from the empress.”

Everyone stood up at once, but the reward from the Queen Empress had to go to the front hall to pick it up. The unmarried girl and daughter-in-law stayed in the inner courtyard, and the others all tidied their clothes and headed to the front hall.

“The Empress Empress said, Madam Pingjiang Hou rarely came to the capital, but the empress summoned it for the inconvenience of men. She gave a pair of special rubies, two pairs of emerald bracelets, a plate of pearls, and ten brocades…” Lou Jing followed by Fengyi Palace. The **** read the reward list aloud.

Everyone followed the aunt and knelt down to give thanks. Wei was so angry that his ribs ached. Lou Jing specially invited the empress for the reward, wasn’t it just to exalt his aunt’s status?

As a matter of fact, if a super-first-class foreign wife enters Beijing, she will always go to the palace to see the queen. Only after Sejong married a man, the maid could not easily see the queen. It’s fine if the queen doesn’t know. If you hear about it, you only need to give a reward to show that you know it. The ratio of rewards to aunts is more generous, but it’s just that Xu’s family is now considered royal in-laws.

“Auntie, let me ask the queen to say hello.” After rewarding the big eunuch, Lou Jing smiled and embraced Mrs. Ping Jianghou.

“After you go back to the palace, you must kowtow to the Queen Empress again for me.” The aunt was also very happy, patted Lou Jing’s hand and smiled.

“What are you doing when you come back?” Lou Jianyu said in a bad mood. If the prince is not accompanied, the prince can’t go out of the palace easily. Today Lou Jing invited his third uncle here, and he must have been uneasy.

Lou Jing raised his head, the smile on his face was still as gentle as a breeze, and said warmly: “I’m here to ask for my mother’s dowry.”

Xiao Chengjun looked at the Taoist priest standing in the center of the main hall, and suddenly felt very ridiculous. The national event has been reduced to a decision by an unknown Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest was named Tao Miao, and his Taoist name was ethereal. He was just said by the Tianjian Supervisor of Qinqin, who can infer the major events in the world without watching the stars at night.

Tao Miao wore a gray robe with a sparse and gray beard, holding a long whisk, chin raised slightly, eyes blurred, and a look of compassion and compassion. The mountains are moving and the court is unstable. As for what it refers to, it must be counted as a hexagram.”

“Then do it quickly.” An official said, but did not dare to stand up.

Xiao Chengjun slowly watched the people present. Some showed disdain, some fell silent, and some followed him… the faces of scholars were suddenly distorted into ghosts and charms, as if they were on the hall of a red-pillar dragon. , It was not the officials above the third rank of the imperial court, but a group of cows, ghosts and snakes, who were jumping stiffly listening to the copper bell of the gods.

“Father, my son has the right to play.” Xiao Chengjun stepped out and interrupted the so-called phantom real person’s ritual.

“When your mother passed away, all those dowries were given to you. What do you want to do now?” Anguo Gonglou saw Yu walking up quickly and stared at Lou Jing.

“I don’t know this. Father should ask her husband if she is right.” Lou Jing still smiled mildly, but he shivered with anger and coveted Mrs. Tu Yuan to marry him. This was a serious crime.

“The crown prince must not spit blood, I have never seen any dowry!” Wei thought carefully about the accounts of the family and determined that there was no problem. A few days ago, she asked Cheng Xiuru for the accounts of Zhuquetang, and the son married. Yes, those who should have been put under the public administration…wait, the accounts of Zhuquetang, she didn’t ask for it how many times, why did Cheng Xiuru be so neat this time?

Wei Clan couldn’t help but raised his head to look at Lou Jing, facing the Mei Ruo Han Xing’s eyes, with a smile at the end of the eyes. There was no temperature in the eyes, making her feel chills.

“In that case, I won’t make things clear today. If there is any misunderstanding in this, wouldn’t it hurt the peace of a family?” Madam Ping Jianghou smiled and said to everyone.

“Yes, yes, it’s better to figure it out. It would be no good if the wife was greeted by Mrs. Tuyuan’s dowry.” The second aunt is always watching the excitement, and the third aunt has no idea. Then nodded.

Lou Jianyu stared at Lou Jing fiercely. This rebellious son was obviously here to find fault today. “Everyone is going to the front hall.” He wanted to see what tricks this little beast was going to play.

Everyone went to the main hall of Anguo Gongfu, and a silk screen with four fans was erected in the middle, and men and women sat separately.

“You are talking about who is greedy for your mother’s dowry?” Lou Jianyu drank a sip of tea, suppressing his heart, and said coldly, “If you can’t show evidence, even if you are a princess, I will I will sue you in front of the emperor for disrespectful mother-in-law!”

There was no sound in the hall, and even the ethereal real person was silent. Everyone looked at the prince who was kneeling under His Majesty.

Xiao Chengjun, dressed in apricot-yellow prince’s court clothes, knelt straight under the red carpet.

He is the prince. When he went to court, he was qualified to stand above his majesty’s rank. After accepting the courtesy of a hundred officials, he would kneel to the emperor. But he never stood in that position. At first, his father praised him for his modesty, but later he felt that he was cowardly, and now he thinks that he deliberately trapped the monarch in unrighteousness.

It’s ridiculous, but it’s all written in the memorials of the Imperial Study. The so-called three people become tigers, and there are too many people who say that Emperor Chunde does not believe it, not to mention that Emperor Chunde has always been soft-hearted.

“You just, what did you say?” Emperor Chunde took the memorial presented by the prince, and said every word.

“Erchen is ashamed of the emperor’s father, but he asked the emperor to abolish the position of prince son of the emperor.” Xiao Chengjun replied with a calm face and clear words. When he said it in the Imperial Study Room yesterday, Emperor Chunde might think he I was angry, and I said it in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty today, and I can’t take it back again.

There was an uproar in the court, and even the right-hand Chen Shichang was very surprised. Then Tao Miao didn’t say anything, why did the prince admit his fate?

“I have read the emperor’s way since I was a child, but my aptitude is dull, and I won’t be able to match the emperor’s father,” Xiao Chengjun’s voice is calm and powerful, like the sound of gold and stone hitting, and every word is in the hearts of people. I don’t know why I came to such a field. As the prince of a country, I can’t understand the actions of his officials, the direction of the court, and the burden of the emperor’s father. He is not the talent of the prince. , But please father, take the position of the prince of the prince!”

After the prince finished speaking, he leaned over to face the emperor on the dragon chair, and bowed three times slowly and firmly.

At this time, at the Anguo Government House, Lou Jianyu looked at the account book in his hand, and he was the same as the hundreds of civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty.

The shop in the Fortune Building in the capital, Fanxian County’s 580 acres of fertile fields, glazed jade horses, unicorn jade 璎luo… piles after piles are exactly the dowry of his original wife Xu, but this account book is what the next room said. “Suzaku Hall’s Public Accounts”!
