Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 186 Uncle Guo is ashamed and reminds the plum blossoms (1)
Empress Dowager Jia also frowned when she saw that the prince had asked someone to invite Hong Rou in: "You child, you always do what you say, and now you have invited a commoner into the palace!"

"The empress dowager can't stay overnight if she feels uncomfortable. I must ask you clearly today. The emperor personally interrogated the thief king in the south of the Yangtze River and the leader of the peasants in the northwest uprising in the Jinluan Palace. Aren't they all ordinary people? How can the empress dowager not interrogate a mere trifle at the foot of the capital?" The proprietress?" The prince smiled brightly, his peach blossom eyes made the old man overwhelmed, and he gently pinched his grandson's handsome cheek.

But it is said that the one-horse carriage of the royal horse drove out of the city gate quickly, crossed the Hulong River, and galloped to the target shop in Jinbao Street in a short while.

Hong Yan was restocking, there was a ladder beside the cabinet, and she was halfway up the ladder with the box in her arms. Xu Muzhen supported the ladder, shaking it deliberately from time to time, which made Hong Yan furious, and lowered her head angrily: "I'll go down later Watch your face carefully!"

During these days, when Xu Muzhen saw his cousin's new shop opening, she was afraid that Hong Yan would not be able to hold on to the scene alone, so she often came over and occasionally helped the two in command, and it's the same today.Hong Yan saw that although he didn't understand business, it was good to work hard, so she let him stay.Both of them are free and easy people, and they don't have the restraint of the businessman and the proprietress. At this moment, as usual, they are laughing and busy. There is a creaking sound at the door, and someone walks in quickly.

The person who came was wearing a jade-colored palace robe, and said loudly: "Is Miss Hongrou here? Master is here to invite you, please go with the servants!"

Hong Yan came down from the ladder, not knowing who this person was: "May I ask who this official is?" Xu Muzhen saw at a glance that the palace servant was actually the eunuch next to the prince, was surprised, and pulled him aside .

The eunuch naturally knew Xu Muzhen too, seeing that he was here, it was even better, so he briefly talked about the affairs in the palace and the crown prince's explanation.

Xu Muzhen was relieved, and instead pulled Hong Yan to the back of the shop.

He bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Hong Yan, my cousin is having a banquet in the palace, someone has exposed that you are in contact with her cousin and wants to tarnish her reputation, you are now entering the palace," he whispered.

Before Hong Yan met the sisters on the flower boat, she had also heard about Hanjiao. Now she heard someone making an excuse, she took a deep breath, remembered every word in her heart, and nodded.

After Xu Muzhen finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and then said: "In addition to helping my cousin, it is also an opportunity to turn your family around and let you see the light, but there are also certain risks, can you do it?"

"As long as she can help the eldest girl, Hong Yan doesn't care about the rest."

The cousin was right.

Xu Muzhen's heart twitched, and he suddenly grabbed the back of Hong Rou's head and pulled it to his face. Her forehead was touching his lips, as if to make her feel at ease. After all, her father and brother were beheaded by the court, and now they are entering the palace , There will definitely be some emotion and discomfort in my heart.

Hong Yan's heart thumped, she always fought with him, occasionally she would do it, but this time, she didn't fend him off like last time.

The horseshoe galloped, carrying Hong Yan and drove straight into the palace gate.

By Chengtian Lake, Hong Yan was brought to the Empress Dowager Jia and knelt down in front of everyone.

Dressed in a red dress, tied up in a low bun, with beautiful makeup and delicate features, she is dressed like a woman from a good family from head to toe, exuding a bit of heroism and sass that ordinary ladies don't have.

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a prostitute.

It would be a pity if he really fell into the dust.

Empress Dowager Jia looked regretful, but the kneeling woman had already opened her mouth: "Hong Yan, the daughter of the guilty minister, wept and kowtowed at the Empress Dowager."

The criminal's daughter?What's the meaning?The girls were in an uproar.

Empress Dowager Jia got up from the armchair all at once.

Yun Wanqin was also trembling all over, and glared at the prince, what kind of trouble is this guy going to do!

"Who is under the rank?" Zhu Shun spoke first, with a surprised tone, "Say it clearly!"

Hong Yan knelt down on the ground. For the first time in more than three years, she was finally able to say her surname and family name in broad daylight. She let out a deep breath from her chest. She was extremely refreshed. Even death is worth it. Enduring the vibrato : "Hong Yan, the daughter of the guilty minister, is originally from Tangzhou, and Hong Sihan, the gate leader of Tangzhou, is my father!"

"Tangzhou? Hong Sihan?" Zhu Shun took a deep breath. At that time, Tangzhou City was destroyed overnight by the Mengnu Kingdom. The emperor was furious and sent the censor to judge the responsibility. After the censor checked, all the military officers in charge of the Tangzhou battle, Including the commander-in-chief, deputy generals, commanders, and generals, all of them were beheaded and abandoned the city for the crime of dereliction of duty. Hong Sihan, who was led by the city gate of the fourth rank, was no exception. All the family members of the officials who were punished were also exiled to Beimo .

Why would a city gate leader's daughter appear here?
With tears in her words, Hong Rou continued: "On the way to exile, all the family members of the minister and daughter-in-law couldn't bear the torture, and died one after another without even having a place to bury them. A roll of straw mats, a bundle of straw mats, and a grave bag were buried anywhere, leaving only one courtier and daughter in the Hong family. I thought that I would not be able to make it through sooner or later, and the corpse was exposed in the wilderness, but an official who escorted the exile lost a gamble on the road. Qian, motivated by wealth, fabricated a servant status for his courtiers, under the pseudonym Hong Yan, and sold them to Yazi. After several twists and turns, the courtiers were sold to the Wanchun Flower Boat in the capital. I thought this life would be so humiliating, but I didn’t expect it When I met Miss Yun's family, I gave the courtier's daughter a place to make a living, and let the courtier's daughter guard a shop. There is still hope of survival, but the courtier knows that she is still in the body of a sinner, so she dare not confide in Miss Yun. I have been lying to Ms. Yun for a long time, and I have owed Ms. Yun's kindness. Today I learned that my minister's dirty experience almost harmed Ms. Yun's reputation. It is unbearable. I have to prove that Ms. Yun is not wrong, the daughter of a criminal minister She was not born with a humble background, at most Miss Yun unknowingly rescued a distressed person who was about to survive! The Holy Majesty is wise, the Empress Dowager is wise, which law is promulgated to prevent people from doing good and enjoying themselves?"

There was another discussion all around.

This Hong Yan turned out to be an official woman, but she was killed by a traitor and left in the prostitution.

The officials who escorted the exiled prisoners all the way to enrich their own pockets or become lustful, smuggled female prisoners or raped female prisoners. How could the Empress Dowager Jia not know about such dirty things in officialdom, but she didn't expect that there was one in front of her.

Zhu Shun took a peek at the queen mother, his face calm, and he turned to Hongrou: "It's not your fault that you were betrayed by officials who perverted the law, but after all, you still have to be punished, and you exposed your background to protect Miss Yun's family, do you know that?" Will he be sent back to Beimo to serve the rest of the sentence?"

Hong Rou said loudly: "If the imperial court convicts my father and the military officers of Tangzhou that they are indeed guilty, then the minister will have nothing to complain about after serving the rest of the sentence! What is there to be afraid of in Beimo? These years, the minister has survived such a serious crime , maybe I can survive the exile in Beimo, and I still have a day to be a good citizen!"

Zhu Shun's eyes moved, but she had nothing to say, she was really a tough woman, but Hong Yan said again: "Just before serving the sentence, there is one more thing, I don't want the Queen Mother to be deceived, and I also hope that the daughters of noble households will be deceived." Take a closer look and see who is not obeying boudoir training!"
