Wudinghou Mansion
The front leg sent out the invitation, and the back leg, Princess Yongjia, urged Guo Chang and his wife Yishi to set off.
Guo Chang supported the eldest princess and advised: "Grandma, please slow down, are you so impatient? You are three generations older than the emperor. Even if you want to go at night, he has to wait respectfully. My grandson has lived for twenty-nine years, and this is the first time I have seen you so anxious."
The eldest princess reprimanded with a serious look on her face: "What do you know about your children? It will be too late. Now you can burn some incense. If it weren't for the connections your great-grandfather and grandfather accumulated in the military, we would How is it possible to get news in time and know the direction of the war?
Last night we received news that the war has restarted. This is the last battle in the battle to defend Beijing. The Oara army only has enough food and grass for ten days, so it must retreat within ten days. By then, the war in the capital will be over. .
And the new king's prestige will become as high as ever with the victory of the war. You must remember that the icing on the cake is never as good as providing help in times of need. This is our last chance to bet on our side and invest in the new king.
After the new king is completely defeated, do you think he will still ignore us? I'm going today, so you guys should stop talking and let me talk to the emperor.
The emperor had previously called on the loyal and loyal men in Beijing to participate in the night raid and contribute to the country. Let us present five hundred of our brave and elite slaves to serve in front of the battle. If that doesn't work, I'll send more servants to protect you, and you can go to the battlefield in person. If you can achieve some military exploits, our hope of getting back the title will be increased. "
Guo Chang sighed: "Then let's give it a try. You can only treat a dead horse as a living horse. In fact, I don't have much hope for my grandson."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Yongjia couldn't help but look stern and felt sad: "Hey, if I don't return to the title, I won't be able to rest in peace. If I really despair in the end, I will crash to death in front of Fengtian Palace. Under Shi Jiuquan, I'm waiting to hear Sun's explanation in front of my father."
Seeing that the eldest princess was talking more and more, Yishi quickly comforted her: "Grandma and husband, don't be discouraged. My daughter-in-law heard that our new king is acting absurdly and elusively, and maybe he will turn towards us." .
If the time comes when the new king becomes unreasonable, it will not be too late for grandma to be cruel. "
Princess Yongjia's face brightened slightly when she heard this, and she urged everyone to leave quickly. Anyway, it's a knife to extend your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head. If you meet the new king quickly, you will know the result quickly, so you don't have to worry about it.
Not long after, a group of people got on the carriage and walked through the streets and alleys to Prince Qi's Mansion.
At this time, the main entrance of Prince Qi's Mansion was wide open. The carriage of the eldest princess drove directly in from the main entrance and stopped in front of the main hall.
Zhu Qiyu had already been waiting at the entrance of the main hall with the concubine, princess and other noble concubines.
When the carriage stopped and the eldest princess stepped out of the car, Zhu Qiyu quickly bowed deeply and respectfully, and then quickly stepped forward to help the eldest princess.
The remaining people, including the concubine, all chose to kneel down and salute, which gave the eldest princess enough face.
When the eldest princess saw that the new king was being treated with such courtesy, she calmed down a little and hurriedly smiled at everyone: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it. Princess Xuanyi, please get up, and all the princesses and noble concubines should stop being so polite."
So everyone stood up, and the concubine also came forward. She and Zhu Qiyu supported the eldest princess on the left and right, and entered the main hall.
As soon as they entered the main hall, the concubine and Zhu Qiyu made way for the eldest princess to take the throne. The eldest princess wanted to resign humbly, so the concubine smiled and persuaded: "Old ancestors, don't be polite. Now we are only talking about family etiquette in our own home. When we get out of this door, let Qi Yu show off to the emperor." Go to the shelf.”
After hearing the words, the eldest princess no longer insisted and took the main seat, while the concubine sat aside and talked with her. Zhu Qiyu sat down at the bottom. After seeing the ceremony, the other concubines left in the name of preparing lunch, leaving room for a few people to discuss the matter.
It was not easy for the eldest princess to discuss her title as soon as she came up, so she had to make some family arrangements with the concubine. Not long after, Lin Xiangyu came forward to serve tea in person. The eldest princess pulled Lin Xiangyu and smiled and said: "This child is so handsome and beautiful. Qi Yu has such vicious eyes. He has chosen a good princess. Come, come over and let me take a closer look. .”
The eldest princess looked left and right, taking a closer look, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, so she pulled Lin Xiangyu to sit next to her.
Now there were only three hosts and three guests left in the main hall. The princess was hugged by the eldest princess, and the concubine could not do the work herself. Zhu Qiyu had to stand up and serve tea to Guo Chang and Yishi in person.
Guo Chang and his wife were a little flattered and quickly gave in. Zhu Qiyu was very affectionate. While serving tea, he called uncle and aunt at each mouth, and he was very close to them.
Guo Chang's grandmother, the eldest princess of Yongjia in front of her, and Zhu Qiyu's great-grandfather are biological siblings. Although they are a bit far apart, it is indeed correct for Zhu Qiyu to call him uncle.
The eldest princess took a sip of tea and smiled at Lin Xiangyu: "Good girl, Qi Yu usually doesn't bully you, right? Why do I hear from outside that Qi Yu usually treats you as slaves and orders you to work every day."
Lin Xiangyu pretended to have an aggrieved expression on her face: "My ancestors are right. We fifteen sisters are living a really hard life. It doesn't matter if our husband calls us to work every day. As the saying goes, we obey our father at home and our husband when we get married. It is the right thing to be a cow and a horse for your husband.
But our husbands always abuse us. Look at us, we don’t even have any servant girls, let alone eunuchs or eunuchs. Have you ever seen a princess or concubine who has no one to wait on her and has to do everything by herself? Ancestor, you have to make the decision for us. "
The eldest princess smiled and said: "The girl is right. You don't have any maids. This matter has become famous in the capital. This is ironclad evidence that Qi Yu abused you."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he quickly shouted: "You are wronged, ancestor, don't listen to the nonsense of the narrow-minded little princess. On weekdays, I can't bear to beat or scold these fifteen daughters-in-law. I can't bear to even lift a finger." I haven't touched them, and I haven't even said a harsh word to them.
All food, clothing, housing, transportation, monthly and yearly expenses are provided at double the Queen's standard, and this does not include what is given on weekdays. Yesterday I gave each of them 10,000 taels of silver as pocket money, and I filed a lawsuit today. Do you think they are guilty or not? "
Lin Xiangyu continued to complain: "Ancestor, you don't know that my husband said he would give us 10,000 taels of pocket money each, but he refused to hire a tailor and forced us to make our own clothes. My husband also designed and asked for us. Make weird clothes and wear them according to his ideas. Do you think he is mean? "
Lin Xiangyu blushed as she spoke.
Zhu Qiyu pointed at his little princess and said fiercely: "Okay, just complain blindly, complain hard, complain to your heart's content, and wait until you get back to the room in the afternoon to see how I beat you."
Lin Xiangyu shook the eldest princess's arm and said coquettishly: "Ancestor, look, our great slave owner has revealed his secrets. Just now he said that he would never touch a finger of ours, but the words have not yet been completely settled. In a blink of an eye he will hit me."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's all a joke. I watched Qi Yu grow up. He is really a good boy with an honest eye. He has been pure and kind since he was a child. Even if he treats the maids The maid is always kind and cheerful.
If you say that you were fighting in the boudoir, I believe it, but if he really beats you, then I find it a bit unbelievable. If Qi Yu really dares to hit you, come to me and I will help you deal with him.
You and your wife are both good children. Let's live a happy life together in the future. Don't be like our family, which is about to burst out of its head. "
Seeing that the topic was getting to the point, Zhu Qiyu answered: "I met the Supreme Emperor at Xizhimen today, and I have already asked the Supreme Emperor for his instructions. Since the Hongxi Dynasty, the court has been filled with traitors.
After the fight is over, I have to concentrate on bringing order to the chaos. For the traitors left over from the Hongxi, Xuande, and Zhengtong dynasties, those who should be punished should be punished, those who should be demoted should be demoted, and those who should have their homes confiscated. Even the dead traitors, such as San Yang and others, must be liquidated.
The Supreme Emperor has already given his approval. Following the Emperor's decree, I will begin to clear up various remaining issues. "
The eldest princess heard this and sneered: "To be honest with the emperor, I completely hate Sanyang. My only son cannot get back the title he deserves because of their obstruction, and he will not be able to rest in peace until his death." .
If I could see their three traitors being liquidated, I would be willing to die. "
