Concubine Raiders Chapter 170: Growing (medium)

Chapter 170 Growth (Part 2)

I heard that Xu Lingyi was back. Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen hurriedly greeted him. After saluting, they hugged him to salute and greet Mrs. Tai.

The lady hasn't waited for him to get up, and hastily said: "Why didn't you come back so late?" He pointed to the other side and asked him to sit down.

"The emperor left me and talked about it. Just as people from the clan mansion returned to the first sacrifice of the fifth prince, they sat for a while."

The funeral of the five princes stopped for three days, and the funeral was five days, and the eleventh was the "first sacrifice."

Mrs. Tai immediately said: "What did the emperor say?"

Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly: "Ten thousand gold and silver paper ingots, ten thousand paper money, thirty-one tables for feasts, nineteen sheep, nine wines. Below the prince, the clan relatives above the general Feng'en, and the above four Officials on top of the line and women of domestic and foreign affairs gathered at the memorial place to read sacrificial texts, drink wine, and salute."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Ten thousand gold and silver paper blooms, thirty-one tables for a feast," the second lady groaned, "will it be too much..."

Xu Lingyi nodded: "Not only I, but the clan family also feels too much. But the emperor's attitude is very firm, and everyone is hard to say anything, so it is settled."

The second lady looked at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly.

The two said nothing.

Mrs. Tai was also lost in thought.

Eleven Niang winked at Sister Zhen, and the two quietly stepped out.

When I met Brother Chen, with a ruddy face, Xiao Shao, the little maid in Mrs. Tai's room, walked in talking and laughing.

Seeing Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen, he said loudly: "Mother, I kicked eleven today, three more than Xiao Shao."

Eleven mothers saw that the little maid who surrounded him was still holding a few shuttlecocks in her hands, and knew that they were kicking the shuttlecocks in the back cover room. He smiled and touched his head: "I can kick eleven, yes, yes!"

He smiled with a raised face, a little smug.

"Your dad is talking to grandmother inside, let's talk quietly." Eleven Niang whispered to him.

Brother Chen nodded immediately and said to Xiao Shao in a very small voice: "We will kick again tomorrow."

Xiao Shao whispered "Yes", followed the maid and daughter-in-law who came in with Brother Qian, and squatted down to salute the eleven mothers. Just getting up, Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu and Xu Sijian came over.

Brother Jian immediately whispered towards them: "Daddy is talking to grandmother inside. Please speak quietly."

The atmosphere in the house these days is tense. Several children know it. Now, listening to Brother Chen said that, there are some uneasiness in his eyes. He lightly stepped forward to salute the eleven mothers, but there was a message from the interior of Mrs. Tai. Voice: "Is Brother Qin and Brother Yu here?"

"Yes!" Xu Siqin immediately replied loudly.

"Come in!" said the lady, "your uncle is here too!"

The three of Xu Siqin trimmed their clothes and entered the interior room.

Eleven Niang also led Brother Chen and Sister Zhen to follow in.

The children saluted the elders, and the third master and the third wife came.

They looked sad, they changed their smiles from the past, and there was joy from their brows.

San Ye asked concerned about the "first sacrifice ceremony" of the fifth prince. Xu Lingyi said in a nutshell, the two couldn't help but spit their tongues, and the third lady smiled even more: "Since the emperor has given such grace, he still favors our empress and empress."

Mrs. Tai, Xu Lingyi and the second wife did not speak, and their faces were even less happy, and the atmosphere in the room sank suddenly.

San Ye winked at San Madam.

The third lady said awkwardly: "I, am I wrong?"

Eleven mothers met and said: "I think so." Then asked the little maid next to him: "Go and see, are the food ready?"

The expressions of the three of Mrs. Tai's faces eased slightly.

Everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The little maid went, and the fifth master and the fifth lady came over with a smile.

Madam Tai laughed: "Why are you here too?"

Fifth Master salutes Mrs. Tai-Mrs. Tai has already forgiven the ceremony of Fifth Lady.

"It is rare to be so leisurely, come here to lively and lively."

While talking, the little maid came in and said: "Moms say that they can serve meals anytime."

"Let's have dinner, then!" Madam Tai said and got up. The second wife hurriedly stepped forward to help, and everyone rushed to the Toji room.

After eating, Mrs. Tai didn't leave anyone, so everyone went back to rest soon: "It's going to celebrate the Chinese New Year again, and I'm going to the first festival and the big festival again."

Xu Lingyi replied "Yes", and everyone separated.

Back in the room, Xu Lingyi's face sank, and the two of them went to bed after washing. He lay down on his back, looked at the top of the tent, breathed a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "Today the Ministry of Rites is here to discuss the matter of the five princes. The emperor has changed his gentleness from the past and behaved very stubbornly... even those who follow me prosper. The taste of death against me!"

Eleven mother shook her body and sat up: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die?"

Xu Lingyi's expression was a little dazed, and she recalled: "It's not entirely... it's just a special bluntness. The official ceremonial officer just said, "There are more gold and silver ingots for the Prince of Li and Prince", and the emperor jumped up suddenly. An inkstone smashed over. If it hadn’t been for Mr. He’s blocking it, the courtesy officer would have been splattering blood for five feet... I’ve known him for so long, and it’s the first time I saw his temper like this... I looked at him I was in a bad mood, and I was ready to leave after the ceremonial officer left for a while... But the emperor left me alone... Without saying anything, he sat in the warm pavilion for a long time. Let me retreat..."

The authorities are obsessed, and the bystanders are clear.

The emperor called people away, but sat silently...

Eleven Niang's mind turned quickly.

He is the emperor, what can't you say?

They are the princes and ministers, and even the uncle Lang...The princes, naturally, can say anything, but if it is the uncle Lang, with the death of the five princes, this silence becomes understandable.

Eleven Niang asked carefully: "Hou Ye didn't take the initiative to say something to the emperor?"

"How can you not speak! It's just a few trivial greetings." Xu Lingyi smiled helplessly, a trace of self-deprecating flashed in his eyes, "You know Mr. Deng's attitude. He has been in the Imperial Academy for more than 30 years. , There is no better husband to introduce him, it is completely anxious to distinguish. I am afraid that I have said too much!" At the end of the sentence, I was already confused.

Mr. Deng hastily dismissed, what does it mean?

The current situation is very complicated. Even Mr. Deng, who is an emperor, does not want to get involved? Or is it that Mr. Deng thinks that the emperor will be "cunning rabbits and good bows" and is not willing to go too close to the Xu family? Or do you now have the honor of being an emperor, just want to be alone?

Eleven Niang deliberately said: "Hou Ye, didn't you say that you will resign in the next year? I think it is better to resign now..."

She thought of the changes in Sanye and Sanma during this time.

Knowing to be released, the couple laughed all day long, and the third wife tried her best to tell herself how to keep the housekeeper like a hot potato. In the final analysis, it is because of the vision of a new life that this change will occur. If Xu Lingyi loses his promise, of course there is a reason for the matter, but apart from the intense disappointment, it is impossible for the couple to have a little bit of resentment. The eleven mother, who is not in charge, does not force her. She is more relaxed when she is not in charge. Besides, although the third wife is a bit greedy, there are no fish in the water. It is the same for whoever sits in that position. Speaking of which, the third lady did a pretty good job. A lot of locations have been streamlined, and the expenses at home are also less than when Yuanniang was here...

Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to. But at this time, I'm afraid that the emperor thought I was retreating for advancement, but a gap was created."

Eleven mother listened: "Mother said, when you were young, you used to go to the palace to see the emperor. The emperor treats Master Hou like his own brother. You broke King Shun’s head and the emperor tried to cover it. Of."

Xu Lingyi's eyes darkened: "That was when I was young..."

Eleven mothers said: "Although this is the case, the love when you were a child is there. Didn't you also talk to your concubine about being with the empress and empress when you were young? The emperor might not forget." Her voice was soothing and a little low. In this quiet night, it was like a cup of mellow tea, with a warmth that directly pointed at people's hearts. "What's more, you are young, and there is nothing you can't say? You can even rely on it and scorn. Say what you’re embarrassing to..."

Whether it is out of concern or taboo, the emperor must be very concerned about the Xu family, and the family's affairs may not be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears. It’s better to play the card of grief and be honest with the emperor about family affairs. First, you can prevent the emperor from thinking that Xu Lingyi is playing a trick of retreat; second, you can dilute the relationship between the monarch and ministers and emphasize the relationship between relatives; third, you can weaken the image of Xu Lingyi , And even weaken the image of the Xu family-men are measured by meritorious deeds. In this regard, Xu Lingyi is undoubtedly a strong one. If such a strong man has difficult problems that cannot be solved, he can only tolerate it reluctantly. I believe that the emperor will re-evaluate Xu Lingyi’s ability, and he will even be happy to comment on the contradictions within the Xu family, which may lead to the success of the third master’s official career. More smoothly.

Xu Lingyi understood his wife's intentions after a little thought.

He didn't say anything for a long time.

After all, he is a family member, arrogance is in his bones. Let him withdraw from officialdom on the grounds of this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accept for a while.

Eleven Niang didn't expect him to change his mind with a few words. He whispered softly: "Successful things do not stick to the trivialities. Success and failures will be evaluated by future generations. Besides, the winners are the kings and the losers are the invaders..."

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but stared at his wife, lost in thought.

The first memorial ceremony was held at Sishanmen on the 11th~IndoMTL.com~On the 12th, officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs held the "Year Sacrifice" for the five princes. The scene is also very grand. Gold and silver paper ingots and paper money were two thousand each, five feasts, five sheep, and five wines. On the 13th, the great sacrifice ceremony was held. The emperor came in person and the ceremony was the same as the first sacrifice. Only the nine wines were changed to five wines. At this moment, the Empress Empress became ill. The emperor ordered Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Yongpinghou to visit the palace.

Mrs. Tai was very worried and didn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, she took her eleven mothers to Kunning Palace with a tired look.

The atmosphere in Kunning Palace was solemn. The Empress Dowager and the others came to visit the patient earlier. Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang waited outside for more than two hours. Seeing noon, the Empress Dowager stood up and left.

The Queen Empress personally sent it out.

Eleven Niang finds that she has gorgeous makeup, her eyes are bright, and she can't hide the fatigue between her eyebrows, and her heart can't help but feel tight.
