The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 17 The reason
When Tu Ying'er got the things, she said that her cousin was the best, and she didn't want to exchange things anymore.Bianfei ran out of the house with his things in his hands, and the maid beside him trotted to keep up.

Seeing her daughter like this, Princess Li shook her head with a wry smile, and said embarrassedly to Mu Xu,

"Ying'er is an ignorant girl, she spoiled us, don't worry about it, I'll take you to her father Wang Zangbao Zhai later and let you pick another one you like."

Mu Xu replied with a smile,

"What did my aunt say, this girl is so cute, I also think of her as my own sister in my heart."

"Besides, I don't like those. I was in my uncle's study just now, and I just thought the tiger carved in red jadeite was strange."

Before Mu Xu could say anything more, Tu Rui couldn't help it, showing a flattering expression, and said to Princess Li,

"Concubine Mu, let me go in and have a look too, I'll only pick one." He said and raised a finger.

Princess Li doesn't speak softly to him like she does to her daughter,
"If you don't speak up, for the sake of asking Xu'er to be a rescuer, let's forget about today's business."

"You still want benefits, how about giving you twenty boards?"

Tu Rui hurriedly begged for mercy, and kept winking at Mu Xu while talking.Unexpectedly, Princess Li saw his little movements clearly, before Mu Xu could speak, she said,
"Xu'er, you don't need to plead for this bastard, I'm not just because of his privately taking Ying'er out today."

Mu Xu had no choice but to spread his hands and made a helpless gesture towards Tu Rui.

Only Princess Li continued to sternly say, "Today I will go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother. Princess Zhongshun told me in front of so many people that his family, Tu Yu, saw you went to Liuyun Pavilion."

"I'm also curious to ask, what is Liuyun Pavilion, and I will know that it is a kind of place that is neither three nor four."

"In front of so many people, I was so ashamed that I almost found a crack in the ground."

Hearing what the concubine mother said, Tu Rui hurriedly knelt down, and Mu Xu couldn't sit still, so he also stood up and bowed to listen to the training.

Princess Li picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea before continuing, "You don't know how embarrassing I am today, how did I give birth to such an unworthy obstacle like you."

Tu Rui argued in a low voice, "Mother and Concubine, it must be that villain Tu Qi who is solicitous, he obviously took me there. And I only stayed for half an hour, and came out without doing anything."

Concubine Li sneered, "If I hadn't returned home today and asked you clearly and you didn't do anything, you thought you could still stand here and talk."

Seeing that her tone softened, Mu Xu said a few good words for Tu Rui.

Princess Li didn't really want to teach her son a lesson, otherwise she wouldn't have done it in front of her nephew, she just gave him a warning.

After hearing Mu Xu's words, he reprimanded Tu Rui a few more words before getting him up, and finally grounded him for a month, not allowing him to leave the house.

Seeing that Tu Rui was being honest, Mu Xu quickly sat down, asked the servant girl to bring snacks and fruits, and chatted with Mu Xu.

Mu Xu thought of Tu Qi, who was the son of the loyal and obedient prince, soliciting gossip.Thinking of meeting Tu Jin when he entered the mansion, he thought it would be better to remind Princess Li, after all, Tu Rui was a bit reckless.

At that moment, he said that he had something to say to his aunt, and asked the maid in the room to go out.Concubine Li saw that he must have something important to say, so she agreed and sent a maid to guard the door.

Mu Xu immediately told her how he met Tu Jin at the gate of the palace, and told her carefully to see her pensive face.

Again I said my guess,

"My aunt also knows that I have not been back to Beijing, but even so, I have heard a lot of rumors about my cousin."

"I only found out after getting along with my cousin these two days that these rumors are wrong. My cousin is just a bit more straightforward, so how could he be so unbearable."

After a pause, he said,
"If I hadn't gotten along with my cousin and understood his personality, I would have believed these rumors for a long time."

"What's more, outsiders don't know my cousin. After hearing so many people's rumors, I'm afraid that white people will also be rumored to be black."

Concubine Li smiled wryly, "You don't have to say good things for Rui'er, how can I, a mother, not know what kind of temper he is."

"It's reckless to put it nicely, but it's not brainless to put it badly."

As he spoke, he glared at Tu Rui, but Tu Rui didn't dare to refute, and lowered his head to his crotch.

Then Princess Li ignored him and forced him to thank Mu Xu.

Mu Xu naturally said no, but Princess Li refused to let him sit and receive a salute from Tu Rui.Then he said, "Thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"And you're right, the rumors about Rui'er outside are probably spread on purpose."

"I've heard it in the past, and I only thought it was children's nonsense. When you said it today, I realized that it was someone dancing a sword in Xiangzhuang, and it was aimed at Pei Gong."

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to Mu Xufu, saying,
"Not only Rui'er, I also have to thank you this time."

Mu Xu didn't dare to accept her gift, so he hurriedly stood up and turned sideways, and after letting her offer, he bowed back again, Fang said,

"What did my aunt say? My cousin and I hit it off right away. Besides, I'm the only male in my family, and only a concubine sister. It's still far away in Fengtian Mansion."

"In my heart, my cousin is just like a brother, so you don't have to thank me, I should help my cousin."

Hearing what he said, Princess Li couldn't help nodding her head slightly. Seeing him becoming more and more kind, Tu Rui was also moved by the side.

Mu Xu looked at Princess Li's pensive look, and couldn't help asking,

"Since my aunt said that someone is interested in Peigong, I have a guess."

Princess Li smiled wryly, "You are not an outsider, and you are not afraid to tell you about the dirty things in our house. Maybe you can give my aunt some advice."

Mu Xu nodded, and Princess Li then said,
"In ordinary people's mansions, before the main wife gives birth to a child, the concubines must use contraception. Even if a concubine is pregnant, the child must be aborted."

Mu Xu's heart moved, and he asked, "But the problem lies with this concubine. Could it be that uncle is protecting her?"

"In the past, your uncle only liked to chat with Qing Ke in the mansion, and then collected antiques, but he couldn't do such a thing as spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife."

Princess Li paused, calmed down and continued,
"The problem lies with your uncle's biological mother, Concubine Huang in the palace."

"Your uncle and I were married by the Supreme Emperor himself. I didn't know until I married into the palace. It turns out that Huang Taifei's favorite concubine is someone else."

"But this concubine has something to do with Concubine Huang?"

Seeing Mu Xu's reaction, Princess Li also nodded and admitted,
"Yes, she is the niece of Concubine Huang's natal family."

Mu Xu saw her talking about Huang Taifei to her mother-in-law, and he knew in his heart that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law might not be harmonious, so it was inconvenient for him to say more. will socket.

Then Princess Li said bitterly again,
"I am the Concubine Zhongjing who was appointed by the Supreme Emperor. At first I thought that even if she doesn't like me now, it will be fine after a long time. But my son was too young and naive at that time, thinking too much about people's hearts. Too simple."

Speaking of this, she saw her heart fluttering, obviously out of anger, Tu Rui hurried forward and patted her mother on the back, so that she could relax.

Mu Xu also stepped forward and handed over the teacup. Princess Li took a sip of the tea and calmed down. She patted the hands of her son and nephew to indicate that she was fine.

The two of them returned to their seats and sat down.

Concubine Li got better after venting, and then she narrated what happened next.

It turned out that half a year after she married King Zhongjing, King Zhongjing once went to the palace to pay his respects to his mother and concubine, and the Huang family was also there.He had seen this cousin of his mother's natal family before, but he didn't care.

Unexpectedly, King Zhongjing stayed in the palace to accompany his mother and concubine for lunch that day. After a few glasses of wine, he became a little drunk. Concubine Huang ordered her niece to help her son go to the back hall to rest.

I don't know what happened, but the two of them achieved a good thing in a daze.

King Zhongjing was not stupid, he knew that he had plotted against him, but the person who plotted against him was his own mother, so he had no choice but to admit it, and reluctantly led Huang back to the palace, but he was also angry in his heart. She rejected her mother's idea of ​​promoting Huang as a side concubine.

When Mrs. Huang arrived at the palace, Zhongjing Wang and his wife had objections to her, so they kept her at arm's length and refused to talk to her.

Unexpectedly, Huang was pregnant just once in the palace.This Mrs. Huang was also very scheming, and kept it a secret. By the time Princess Li knew about it, it was already too late, and she missed the best time to abort the child.

Coupled with the protection of the mother-in-law in the palace, she had no choice but to let her give birth to this child, which is Tu Jin.

King Zhongjing was not happy at first, but he was a man after all, and he didn't know the ways of back houses. When he saw Huang's son gave birth to him, he was so excited, he forgave her and made her a side concubine.
