The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 491 501: Dirty tricks

With the new emperor ascending the throne, everything is waiting to be done.

After the filial piety period, the capital became more and more lively.

Especially the Gu's, Xu's, and Jiao's families were bustling with traffic and horses.

The Second Mrs. Xu was so annoyed by the Third Mrs. Xu recently, she simply avoided her sister-in-law in Shuangyu Hutong, and complained to her non-stop when she entered the door.

Mrs. Xu was also a little worried. Hearing what her sister-in-law said, her face inevitably looked a little ugly, so she said directly: "They just saw that they were going out with the empress, and they all wanted to get a share of the pie. If you don’t have the ability to swallow it, you really don’t know what to say.”

Mrs. Xu looked a bit haggard, and sighed, with a bit of helplessness, "If I had no choice, I wouldn't come to you more. I really can't stand the clingy work of the third lady."

"What exactly does she want to do?" Xu Shi was also angry, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't say it out.

"What else can I do? I just feel that I am a relative of the emperor now, and my vision is higher."

"What kind of royal relative is she? No decent relative is so arrogant. Second sister-in-law, second brother doesn't care about this matter?"

"Your second brother's shoes hit his heels when he was busy in the official department. Sometimes he didn't go home at night, so he rested in the palace duty room. To tell you the truth, although your second brother and I are husband and wife, but these three or five It's not uncommon to not see one side of the sky." Second Mrs. Xu looked even more worried.

"As a woman in the inner house, I don't understand the affairs of the court, but the affairs of the house are clear. You tell the third sister-in-law, if she is making such a fuss, don't blame me for being merciless, as if no one else knows her idea. Thoughts." Xu nearly slapped the table.

Seeing that my sister-in-law was so angry, Mrs. Xu asked tentatively: "There is really no news from the family. This... I heard that there are ministers in the court who have already submitted papers and invited the emperor to draft." Suddenly, "Your Majesty has been married to the Emperor for a year. If there is no movement in her stomach, it is a crime."

How could Mrs. Xu not know this, how many wives of other families have come to her to inquire about news recently, and even those who recommended themselves are disgusting.

"It's just been married for a year. In this year, the prince went to the border for several months, and kept mourning for three months. He counted on his fingers how long the two husband and wife can be together. This villain just doesn't want to see other people's husband and wife consummating their love. "

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was furious, Mrs. Xu naturally knew this truth.

But does she only know?
I'm afraid there is no one in the capital who doesn't know about it, but why do they still play tricks and spread rumors like this?
Isn't it just that the harem of the current emperor is empty, with only one queen accompanying him, and one side concubine is still in the palace.

Everyone knew about Concubine Qiao, that Empress Dowager Hui had given a strong competition to the emperor, and the emperor might not like it.

The position of concubine in the harem is empty, so it is a great advantage to be able to send her daughter into the palace at this time, and it is easy to get ahead.

That's why these people put all their energy into it.

"Is there any way for you to send a message to enter the palace? You must let the empress know the situation outside." Otherwise, if you don't know what's going on outside in the palace, you will be afraid of other people's advice.

Mrs. Xu shook her head, "How can there be any way? The palace rules are strict, and it is not easy to get in and out. If you send a message at will, isn't this hurting your empress?"

Mrs. Xu Second Madam sighed sadly, "Then there is no other way?"

"Unless the empress summons." Xu frowned, "but the empress has always been careful in her actions. You haven't been seen for several months, and even Chenqiao Hutong has not received a favor."

"I can only wait?"

"I can only wait."

The two looked at each other helplessly.

Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Xu Er and said: "Sister Ci should be married. The second sister-in-law should put more effort into urging the third sister-in-law. Don't mind the matter that the heart is higher than the sky and the fate is thinner than paper." Come on, a family of sisters has no reason to let outsiders see jokes."

The Second Madam Xu sighed, how could she not know what the Third Madam Xu was up to?
But I just thought that if the emperor wanted to draft to enrich the harem, Xu Nianci's age would be just right, and she and the empress were cousins, so she would be sent to the palace in the name of being a good companion to benefit the family.

Mrs. Xu explained what she said, that is to block this road.

But Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter's temperament, Mrs. Xu frowned and said: "You know your third sister-in-law's temperament, and I can only advise a little, but I can't decide whether to listen or not."

"That's too much work for the second sister-in-law. With your words, I feel more at ease." Mrs. Xu thanked her sincerely.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Second Madam Xu smiled, "Your Majesty has become a queen, and now our sister Ying's marriage is really sweet."

This is to show her heart, the second sister-in-law has no intention of sending her daughter to the palace.

"It is necessary to choose one carefully. Sister Ying is a stable and generous child, and she gets along well with her mother. She has a deep bond of affection. When she comes out of the cabinet, she will definitely be honored." Xu can still promise this, with Yunran's temperament No matter how Xu Chaoying leaves the pavilion, it will be the icing on the cake and let her get married in a beautiful way.

Mrs. Xu's second heart cuddled, the bond between her and the queen was not as good as that of sister-in-law, and sister-in-law and the queen were almost the same as mother and daughter.

If she promised this, the empress would naturally give Sister Ying face.

Mrs. Xu stood up and said, "I have to go to your third sister-in-law's place, and I will disturb you some other day."

Knowing that Mrs. Xu was going to be a lobbyist, Mrs. Xu sent her sister-in-law back in person, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty's temperament, don't let her slap the Xu family's face when the time comes."

Mrs. Xu's heart trembled. There are many men in the Xu family who are officials, and Mr. Xu is still waiting for a vacancy. Now there is a queen in the in-law's family. Even if you look at this, Mr. Xu's vacancy may soon can come down.

The Third Master Xu has not yet entered Beijing, and the Fourth Master Xu is in Baoding, only his own man is working in the Ministry of Officials, under the eyes of the Empress.

If the third room annoyed the queen, it would be their second room who would be the most ashamed.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu's footsteps became a little anxious, and she got on the carriage and hurried away.

After sending Mrs. Xu away, Mrs. Xu went back to the yard, thought for a while and wrote a letter herself, called the eldest son back from the academy, and told him in a low voice, "You go and call Brother Fan, you two brothers together Go to see the First Prince, and ask the First Prince to deliver this letter to the Empress."

Gu Meng jumped, "Mother, what happened?"

Xu didn't want to disturb his son's study, so he patted his son on the shoulder and said: "It's all about the inner house, you can't interfere with it as a man, just let the empress know about it, don't worry about it."

It's better not to involve men in the matter of the back house. He also pointed out that his son Qiu Wei can go to high school in one fell swoop, and he will shine on the lintel.
