Chapter 100 I'm afraid your mother can't afford it
Apocalypse Palace, Royal Study Room.

I saw Emperor Mingxi with a solemn expression, staring at the letter handed over by the Mo family of the Western Zhou Dynasty in his hand...
After a long time, Fang asked, "Zicheng, you haven't seen the messenger?"

Fang Zicheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites heard the words, bowed and replied: "Return to the emperor. The letter was sent to the Huitong Hall in the name of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the officials of the Huitong Hall accepted it according to the regulations. For many years, Tianqi and the Western Zhou Dynasty have lived in peace. I didn't pay much attention to it, and the person who delivered the letter left after delivering the letter."

"Weichen also just saw the letter, only to realize that it is from the Mohist family of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

For a moment... Emperor Mingxi asked again: "Zicheng, this eleventh uncle has been away for so many years. According to the etiquette of the apocalypse, can he still be allowed to pay homage to Concubine Li?"

Fang Zicheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites heard the words, bowed again and replied: "Returning to the emperor, when Emperor Qianxing was in power, he did not remove the names of the eleven princes from the jade butterflies. After the first emperor came to the throne, he was not a big traitor. , so the Eleventh Prince can only be regarded as temporarily leaving Tianqi to return to his mother's house to fulfill his filial piety. Your Majesty, this is a good name!"

"Now, the Eleventh Prince submits a letter in the name of the Mo family, and wants to come back to pay homage to Concubine Li. We can't stop it."

Emperor Mingxi's eyes froze for a moment, and after a while, Fang said again: "In this case, you can make arrangements according to the ancestral system. It is said in the letter that he will arrive in the near future, and we will talk about the specifics when the eleventh uncle arrives."

Hearing this, Fang Zicheng bowed back and said, "I obey the order. Your Majesty, may I ask where the Eleventh Prince should arrange to live?"

"Zicheng, where do you think it should be arranged?" Emperor Ming Xi asked again.

Seeing that Fang Zicheng hesitated for a moment, Fang replied: "Return to the emperor. What is written in the letter is that the second young master of the Mohist family returned to Tianqi to pay homage to his deceased mother. According to the fact that the Western Zhou Dynasty was a foreign country, he should live in the Honglu Pavilion. However, The Eleventh Prince has a special status, and he came back to pay homage to Concubine Li. I don’t know how to arrange it? Your Majesty, can you ask Prince Yu, after all, Prince Yu and the Eleventh Prince belong to the same generation.”

After a while... Emperor Mingxi said again: "Forget it. You should step back first. I will meet Prince Xuanyu later."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." Fang Zicheng bowed and retreated after hearing the words.

At this moment... Emperor Ming Xi was left alone in the imperial study room. Emperor Ming Xi stretched out his hand and slowly slid his fingers across the words in the letter. But...Murong Yi, since you have already returned to Western Zhou Dynasty, why do you want to come back?Is it really just to pay homage to Concubine Li?Since you have been away for so many years, do you still want to have your place in Tianqi...

After a long time... Emperor Ming Xi, who had regained his composure, called out, "Li Yue."

"Hey..." Li Yue, Eunuch Li hurried in, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming Xi said: "Li Yue, please send this letter to Prince Yu's residence, and ask Uncle Four to help me think about how to arrange a residence for Uncle Eleven, please reply to me as soon as possible. "

Uncle Eleven!Li Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, then he came back to his senses, went forward to take away the letter, bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. The servant will go to Prince Yu's mansion immediately."

Zhu Zhu said again: "Your Majesty, Miss Qiao'er next to Concubine Xian has been waiting outside the palace."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Ming Xi asked impatiently.

Li Yue bowed and replied: "I heard from Miss Qiao'er that it was the concubine Xian who asked her to come here to collect the rewards for Miss Xiao and Miss Xiao."

Emperor Ming Xi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, Fang said again: "Yes, you can make arrangements."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yue bowed and retreated.

At the same time, the Fu'an Tang teahouse in the Marquis of Wu'an.

An Xue bowed and replied: "Go back to the old lady, the miss has already returned to the Jinxiu Pavilion to rest, and I have this servant come over to tell you."

Mrs. Xiao frowned when she heard the words, and asked anxiously, "Is Xi'er feeling unwell?"

Xiao Jinxuan on the side also asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Big Sister?"

Hearing this, An Xue bowed and replied: "Old madam, Second Miss, don't worry. The young lady just had lunch with someone she didn't like, and she was in a bad mood, so she went back to rest first."

"Really?" the old lady asked suspiciously.

"That's true, old lady, I dare not lie to you." An Xue replied.

"That's all. Then you must take good care of Xi'er." Mrs. Xiao ordered.

"Yes, this servant obeys." An Xue bowed again and replied.

She turned her head and said to Xiao Jinxuan: "Second Miss, Miss asked the servant to tell you that she will not accompany you today, and she will definitely have fun with Second Miss some other day."

"It's okay, An Xue, tell my elder sister to let her have a good rest, it's okay for Xuan'er." Xiao Jinxuan replied.

An Xue smiled knowingly, nodded and replied: "Okay, this servant will help Second Young Miss convey the message."

Turning around to Mrs. Xiao again, she bowed and said, "Old lady, the young lady also said that the concubine Xian will probably send a reward to the second lady later, so it is enough for Zhao Momo to accompany the second lady. The second lady then You don't need to go out, lest you meet dirty people and feel bad."

Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." She turned her head and told Mother Zhao, "Xianglan, you will go to the second lady's side in a while, and accompany the second lady to meet the people in the palace. "

Zhao Nanny at the side heard the words, bowed and replied: "Yes, old lady, this old slave knows."

Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, main hall.

······
Qiao'er looked at the two people in the hall, and asked doubtfully, "Second Madam, can Second Miss come out?"

The second wife, Zhao Zhishan, smiled and replied: "Miss Qiao'er, I'm really sorry, Xuan'er took the medicine and fell asleep at the old lady's place. This child feels uncomfortable when she gets sick, so it's really hard to wake her up." , Concubine Xian has always been benevolent, presumably she will not care about children."

Qiao'er frowned when she heard this, why is this second young lady so hard to see, she didn't even come out to receive the reward, she said again: "Second madam, when the maidservant came here in the morning, the second young lady was already resting, why is she still resting now? "

"Second Madam, it's not that a servant is making things difficult for you, it's just that this is a gift from a concubine Xian, it's not proper for the Second Miss not to come out."

The second wife, Zhao Zhishan, heard the words, her voice turned cold for a moment: "Miss Qiao'er, the concubine has already said that Xuan'er took the medicine and fell asleep at the old lady's place. And Zhao Nanny was sent by the old lady to replace the second lady." The young lady came to receive the reward from the concubine Xian. Could it be that you want the old lady to come out to receive the reward from the concubine Xian in person?"

Zhao Momo who was on the side continued to say: "Miss Qiao'er, if you really want the old lady to come out, I don't mind going in to help you convey it. It's just that it's a matter of asking Mrs. Sanzhao to come out to receive the reward from the concubine Xian." If it gets out, I'm afraid your mother-in-law won't be able to afford it."

When Qiao'er heard the words, she was startled for an instant, and bowed to salute and replied: "I don't dare, I just made a slip of the tongue just now. I hope the second lady and Mother Zhao will forgive me." She thought to herself, never come to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion for business again in the future. good!

Only second wife Zhao Zhishan replied: "That's all. The concubine Xian has always been magnanimous, thinking about it, she will definitely not care about children. I once again thanked the concubine Xian for the reward on behalf of Xuan'er."

Qiao'er bowed and replied: "Yes, Second Madam, the servants will definitely convey it to the empress." She turned around and told the people behind her: "Put your things down."

Zhu Zhu hurriedly left the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion with everyone.

At the same time, Zuixian lived in Meixiang Pavilion.

I saw Jiang Mu walking in with a letter in his hand, very puzzled...
