Chapter 204 Put it in the whirlpool, how can it be unique

In the four-year Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, the Duke of Wei was all invited. Except for Sanlang and Silang, the two common daughters of Sanniang and Ba Niang were not qualified to attend the palace banquet. Ba Niang did not feel depressed. She seemed that she had never wanted to participate in the palace banquet. Only Sanniang had a very distorted heart. Gan.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, at most, Yichen and Yijing were present. Er Niang and Si Niang were also not qualified, so San Niang did not feel any uncomfortable, and from time to time used this thing to ridicul Er Niang.

But this year, all the legitimate mothers are qualified to go to the banquet, which undoubtedly showed the low status of the third mother, which made her gritt her teeth and feel full of grievances, sad and unwillingness. She vented her anger at the maids one by one in the yard and cried a lot.

After hearing this, Aunt Cui was very anxious and begged to go to Duke Wei one night: "My lord, my concubine knows everything, but after all, she is the daughter of my concubine..." When Aunt Cui untied her official clothes and changed into a soft purple satin collar, Aunt Cui hesitated and said a little nervously. Half a sentence.

Duke Wei blocked her hands, which were wearing a buckle, lifted her robe and sat down steadily, and relied himself with the teacup to quench his thirst. Then he turned back from political affairs and public affairs and frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with A Luo?"

Aunt Cui was so shocked that she took a step back and hid her body in the shadow of the lamp. A panicked face drooped even more and quickly said, "A Luo didn't do anything. She was worried about it."

Duke Wei rubbed his eyebrows. With the two sword eyebrows raised lightly, he reached out and pulled Aunt Cui and asked her to sit beside him: "You are her biological mother. It's reasonable for her. Don't shrink so much. Just say it directly."

When Aunt Cui heard the words, her heart was relieved, followed by a warmth. When she raised her eyes, her eyes were slightly red. Before she could say anything, she actually choked. Duke Wei looked at her extremely timid and frowned again: "What, who made you feel wronged?"

"The prince misunderstood." But when Aunt Cui heard this, she hurriedly wiped her tears: "Madam, she has always been tolerant and maintained by her maidservant, how can the maidservant be aggrie... Just thinking of A Luo, she will also be married next year. She is still half a year older than the fifth mother. The fifth mother has taken care of the dowry by herself to study common affairs, but A Luo has not had many opportunities to go out... Lord, this time At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the women in the house were invited, but A Luo... blamed the concubine for implicating her.

It turned out that for this matter, Duke Wei was a little impatient, so he let go of his hand, scratched the tea noodles with a covered bell, and then said, "A Luo has become more and more proud because I have indulged her since she was a child."

Aunt Cui stood up in shock.

"You are right to think of her, and you don't need to be so trembling." Having said this, Wei Guogong's voice was a little heavier: "It's only clear that A Luo is a concubine. On some occasions, if she attends, she is afraid that she will be more neglected and rejected. She is unruly. If she quarrels with others, it is not conducive to her reputation."

"It's a maid and concubine, I can't imagine..." Aunt Cui burst into tears.

Duke Wei was quite helpless. He secretly thought that Cui was too timid. Although it could attract pity, it was true that she could not teach her daughter like this. If she cried like her, she would not please her husband's house in the future and would be questioned as "family tutoring", and said, "Don't worry. I will tell my wife. If there is a suitable banquet, you should let A Luo attend together. If there is her marriage, I will carefully choose a safe and talented and virtuous son for her, and she will never be wronged.

The third woman on this side is unwilling, but the seventh woman who was originally invited over there pestered Xu's coquettishness, just because she didn't want to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet--

"I've heard many times from the fifth sister. The palace banquet is the most dull and boring, and there are many noble people present. The worship ceremony makes people sweat all over their bodies, and they can't talk and laugh freely. All day long, they have to follow the rules and pretend to be a smiling wooden stake. They don't even think about half full of the table. In front of delicious food, they can only stop. , after a sunset, my stomach was empty, my cheeks were painful, my waist was sore and my legs were weak. This was not a banquet. It was obviously suffering. My mother is doing well, so I have to stay at home with my third sister and eighth sister.

Xu is choosing the dress for Qi Niang to go to the banquet. Hearing this, she was helpless: "You are almost twelve years old, and you are born in such a family as our family. You can avoid it once and avoid it for a lifetime."

"I don't care, and I can avoid it once." Qi Niang wrapped around Xu's arm and almost curled up into shrimp: "Niang, I will definitely have a stomachache on that day. I can tell you here first. If you must let me go, I will pretend to be sick. Grandma has to ask a doctor again after hearing about it."

Xu can't laugh or cry.

Su Yi was busy outside for a day and went back to the house. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that her daughter was threatening with a "killer mace". Instead, she felt interesting. When she came over, she patted Qi Niang on the shoulder: "You only have this trick. Why don't you change it to a headache? I think your mother didn't want to attend the palace banquet. On a hot day, a woman Tang swuggled up with the symptoms of heat.

Xu looked at her husband angrily: "Nonsense, when can I be so tossed around?" But he quickly put down the dress in his hand and asked the maids to retreat and change clothes for Su Yu.

"Lan'er really doesn't want to go to the palace banquet?" Su Yu waited for Xu to untie her clothes and put on her robe. Seeing that her daughter was still lying on the couch with a sad face, she beat her little fist and took a hidden pillow to calm down and said with a smile.

Qiniang quickly changed her coquettish partner and went straight to Su Zhi's arms. She put her little arm around her father's neck and begged.

It made Su Yu more and more happy. She rubbed her red cheeks full of love and pity. Looking at Xu Shi, who shook her head and said, "This time, it's just two years of idleness. As for the time, you used to be the most bored with the palace banquet. At that time, I tried my best to go to the ladies's banquet and didn't see you when I looked through Qiushui. I didn't know that I was absent again due to illness. Despite this, I didn't see that you lost the demeanor of everyone later.

Hearing this, Xu turned around in shame and had to compromise: "The third master spoil her. I don't bother to argue."

When Qi Niang heard this, she immediately refreshed and stood up from the couch with cheering. She looked at her mother's blushing face, squeezed her lips and smiled, but saluted according to the rules: "Dad is tired for a day, and my daughter will not bother. Let's go back to the room to simmer the soup." As soon as he lifted the curtain, he leaned into half of his body and said, "Dad will be idle another day, and tell me the funny story of how to 'see through the autumn water'."

Taking advantage of Xu's "fierce" eyes, Qi Niang shook the curtain and ran away, leaving a yard full of laughter.

Xu was angry with Su Yu: "The third master can't be like this. Lan'er's eyes are big, and she is still talking nonsense in front of her..." Without saying anything, she was caught in her arms. Xu didn't have time to refuse, and a lingering kiss suddenly came, making her no longer have strength.

For a long time, it was not until their breaths were messy that Su Yu ended the kiss. He touched Xu's forehead, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Your daughter is so big that you are still the same as before."

attracted two light and heavy punches and hit them on the shoulder.

Su Yu then let go of Xu: "Don't make trouble. I have something to discuss with you."

Xu is speechless... How can the nonsense person become himself? But when he saw that Su Yi was sitting upright again and restrained his eyebrows, he stopped talking about those gossip and sat down across the case.

Su Yi said that the party dispute caused by the case of Southern Zhejiang in the past two days, and the third prince received the imperial order and was to torture a suspect who was escorted back by Peng Xiang.

Xu also frowned slightly.

Although she has a good relationship with Su Yi, she doesn't often listen to Su Yi's political discussion. Every time, there is something important for her to help her.

What will happen to the Third Highness? In other terms, it should help the prince." Xu's guess.

"The queen will be able to understand the holy will, otherwise the emperor will not hand over this case to the Third Highness." Su Yi did not mention the prince, but only said the queen, which seemed to have a deep meaning: "This matter is secretly planned by Yu Er, and the Third Highness came forward, which is also one of his plans."

Xu nodded slightly: "So, the southern Zhejiang officials can't get away with the law this time."

Su Yu rolled up at the corners of his lips: "This is natural, but it is not enough to shake the foundation of Jinxiang. While attacking the southern Zhejiang officials, he has to let Jinxiang stand back..."

Xu was stunned, thought about it for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Is it the prince's plan again?"

"Yes, madam, did you think of the key?"

"I guess as a concubine, is it to divide the interest alliance between the nobles?"

Su Qi nod with satisfaction: "If Madam is a man, she is enough to stand in the court."

"But I'm afraid it's not that easy. Jin Xiang is a resourceful person and may not understand it."

"That's why I have to force him. In fact, Jin Xiang is too arrogant, which is a weakness in itself. Kyoto Xungui has frequent exchanges with him and is of interest, which makes him pay more important to him. However, those people in southern Zhejiang have no small contradictions with Jin Xiang. For example, Yang Jihou went to Ninghai to serve as a common acquaintance because he could not be a secretary of the Ministry of officials. Jin This person is greedy, and the suppression of his subordinates and relatives has occurred frequently. The arrogance of the officials in southern Zhejiang has something to do with his greed. Yuan'er chose southern Zhejiang first, and he also felt that it was easier to provoke than others.

"Is it true that Southern Zhejiang is full of corrupt officials?"

"Of course not, but the Third Highness should reign again." Su Yi smiled.

Xu thought for a while: "In this way, as long as Jin Xiang's hands, the nobles of Southern Zhejiang will seek another asylum in order to protect themselves..." Suddenly, he was shocked: "Will it be the eldest brother? In this way, can we stand against Kim?"

"Sooner or later, Chen'er is Princess Fu now. Since her mother agreed to marry the Tian family, the Duke's mansion has been in the whirlpool."

"What about the third master's concubine?" Xu stabilized his mind and asked again.

"Kuan Jian's step, if Zhuo Shangshu is the leader and he takes the lead in gathering public discussion and urging Jin Xiang to give up southern Zhejiang, this matter will be counted as five points." Su Yi patted Xu's hand and Wen Yan said, "I discussed it with my eldest brother. Compared with you, it is safer for you to come forward than your sister-in-law. Concubine Zhuo has an aunt who married far away from Qiongzhou, that is, Mrs. Wang. She has some friendship with you in the past. Your relationship with Concubine Zhuo at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is not abrupt, which makes her alert."

So he told Xu in detail about the contradiction between Donggong Zhuo and Yang Erfei. Su Yi seriously told him, "This matter depends on whether it can be done without revealing traces. Zhuo Shangshu must not be suspicious, but let Jin Xiang be on guard."

Xu's governor was also involved in the important matter. After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "My concubine can only do her best. If I can't find the right time, I would rather not say more than let Zhuo Fei realize it."
