The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 251, Mrs. He's Thoughts

Xiyuan was the place where the crown prince lived before, if the crown prince comes in the future, it will be taken away by others, it will be bad.

Mrs. He thought far, and solemnly warned, "Try not to move the other side of the Xiyuan, and send someone to clean it. If the Crown Princess can come often, it's not bad to take a nap once in a while."

When Li Shi nodded hurriedly, she felt much more at ease, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will definitely make good arrangements."

"Mother, my daughter's yard is too small to fit in. After two days, my brother and sister will come, and there will be no place to go."

He Chunlian also hurriedly said, such a good thing, it is natural to curry favor, and you can't always let others take it.

Mrs. Li's expression flickered when she heard the words, she pursed her lips and said nothing, and looked at Mrs. He.

Mrs. He was silent for a while, the youngest daughter was full of anticipation, although the yard is big, but the youngest daughter is married after all, if it is fine as a guest, if it is a long stay, it will inevitably make people laugh.

"How about this, let the brothers and sisters come and live first, and it will be convenient to invite Mr. Private School to teach in the future."

After Mrs. He finished speaking, He Chunlian's face collapsed, "Mother?"

"There will be a guest room in the yard for you. It's okay to come here often, and the rules can't be broken."

Mrs. He said lightly, she must not be laughed at.

Seeing Mrs. He said so with a determined face, He Chunlian could only nod her head, but she made up her mind to hug Mrs. He's thigh tightly and take the opportunity to climb up the high branch of the prince.

Because of the He family's coming to the capital, with the relationship between the prince and the emperor, they suddenly jumped to the capital's upstart.

How many people came up to catch up with him, but He Guogong was a serious man, with a stern face, and a bit of imposing manner.

It's not as good as Second Master He's sharp tongue. Second Master He is busy making friends and inquired about the official titles in Kyoto. The most popular one is Third Master Su.

The crown princess's biological father, and his son is a powerful general who is in charge of public security and order in Kyoto. He has been on the battlefield and won the trust of the emperor.

No matter what the point is, Second Master He will curry favor with Third Master Su.

No, early in the morning, Second Master He discussed with Mrs. He.

"Mother, we've been in the capital for a few days. Although we can't enter the palace, we can visit the Su family. After all, we are in-laws, so we should move around."

The Li family also echoed, "Yes, mother, I heard that the princess is very filial. Let's take the initiative to visit the Su family and leave a good impression on the Su family."

Mrs. He frowned. She had been thinking about this for the past two days, and she was a little hesitant when it was mentioned.

"It's not good to be so rash."

Mrs. Li smiled, "Mother, we are close relatives of the prince, we are closer than the Su family, it's too late for the Su family to curry favor with us, how could we be rash?"

"She's right. Mother and eldest brother have already arranged official posts, but the son hasn't."

Second Master He looked at Mrs. He courteously, his lips were as sweet as honey, and Mrs. He coaxed him to nod.

"Success! Prepare some gifts first, and post a post to go to Su's house. It just so happens that I also want to know what the princess likes."

It took several days for Madam He to finally come to her senses, she is the prince's real grandmother, she has a straight waist, she slowly puts on airs and pays attention to the rules.

Mrs. He nodded, Second Master He smiled like a flower, and hurriedly told Mrs. Li to prepare.

"Where's Sister Yue?" Mrs. He glanced at Nanny Liu beside her.

Mrs. Li's small face sank slightly, and she glanced at Second Master He, who was immersed in joy and didn't see it, Mrs. Li moved her lips, seeing that Mrs. He was in high spirits, she didn't speak.

Yang Yue, fifteen years old, is the eldest daughter of Mrs. He's eldest daughter. Her biological mother died young. Mrs. He raised her under her knees when she saw how pitiful she was. She loved her very much on weekdays.

"Grandmother."

While speaking, a charming woman was dressed in a light green long dress, her gestures were graceful, her face was beautiful, her skin was fat, her oval face had curved brows, her figure was tall, her temperament was gentle, and her eyes were full of gentleness.

Holding tea in her hand, Yang Yue bent slightly when she saw Mrs. Li and Second Master He.

"I've met my second uncle and my second aunt."

Second Master He waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, get up."

Yang Yue nodded, then walked up to Mrs. He, and handed over the tea in her hand.

"Grandmother, try it, it's Yue'er's new one."

Mrs. He picked up a piece and tasted it, "That's right, the craftsmanship is getting better and better. I'll ask the housekeeper to make some clothes for you. I'll be a guest in two days, so you can wear them better."

Mrs. He said thoughtfully.

Li Shi stood aside and endured, looking at Yang Yue's outstanding appearance, he smiled half a smile, "Yes, in the blink of an eye, Sister Yue has grown up so much, it's time to dress up."

Yang Yue smiled slightly, "Grandmother, Yue'er has been feeling unwell for the past few days, and it's not convenient to go out as a guest, why don't you let Cousin Wan and Cousin Qi go, the two younger sisters are the most pleasing, and Yue'er is stupid, It's Yue'er's fault for embarrassing the Duke's Mansion."

After Yang Yue finished speaking, Li's eyes lit up, seeing Yang Yue's expression, she softened three points.

Count her wise!

Mrs. He heard, "Then go and rest."

Then he turned his head to look at Mrs. Li, "The sisters in the mansion each make three sets of clothes and three sets of jewelry, all from the public, then let sister Wan do it."

Li Shi was in a good mood, not to mention three sets, ten sets were also willing, this time is generous.

"Mother, I haven't come back all these years. Thanks to sister Yue's care, my daughter-in-law feels very sorry. Yue'er, my aunt will make two more sets for you!"

When Madam He heard it, the corner of her mouth smiled deeply.

"Thank you, Second Aunt." Yang Yue lowered his head and bowed in salute.

Su family
Holding the invitation card in her hand, Ling frowned, "The He family is here to visit, we can't neglect it, go and prepare first."

Ling said to Yi Ren, who nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, slaves will prepare now."

Su Ting happened to be resting today, and stayed with Qi Long'er. Hearing this, he turned to look at Ling.

"Mother, the He family is the prince's close relatives. My son has inquired about it in private. Except for the integrity of the Duke, the rest of the He family is mediocre. There is only the prince's level, so we really can't neglect it."

After thinking about it, Su Ting still said it, and said it restrainedly.

Qi Long'er looked puzzled, "What happened to the He family?"

"The second house of the He family has long been separated, and they haven't been back for several years. A few years ago, Princess Qingyang's reputation was not good, which hindered the development of the second house. No, I came back only when I heard that the He family was called to Beijing."

Ling Shi also inquired around. For people like Erfang, she has seen a lot, and she forgets righteousness for profit.

"The mother you mentioned understands that there is a certain amount of relaxation, never neglecting or flattering. Although the emperor conferred titles and granted the mansion, he didn't reward the He family. It's okay to make small troubles, as long as you don't be blinded by the power." .”

Su Ting nodded, "That's the reason."

Only then did Qi Long'er suddenly understand.

At this moment, Third Master Su walked in with a solemn expression, and Ling Shi hurried forward.

"what happened?"

"Father was ill a few days ago, I'm afraid he's going to die, I've already asked the emperor for leave, and I'm leaving today to go back and have a look."

After all, it's a father-son relationship. Third Master Su really can't never meet each other. The eldest brother is dead, and the mother is also dead. As time goes by, all the grievances and grievances in the past have disappeared.

Just as Su Ting was about to speak, Third Master Su said, "You stay at home and take care of your mother and your daughter-in-law. You fast in the mansion for a few days, and don't know the rest. I'll go back and have a look."

Ling pursed her lips, "Master, I'll pack your things for you."

Third Master Su nodded.

In the afternoon, Mr. Su took a few guards and left the city in plain clothes.

"Let's decline it first, the Su residence will not accept guests for the time being, let's talk about it in a few days." Ling said.

The old man is critically ill, and this time is really not suitable for receiving guests.

Su Ting didn't feel much, after all, he didn't have much impression of the old man, let alone Qi Long'er.

Along the way, Su Ting walked back slowly with Qi Long'er in his arms, every step was extremely slow.

"Husband, originally I wanted to take some time to see my sister. This delay, I don't know when we can meet again. It's really not easy to be alone in the palace with a child."

Qi Long'er was thinking about Su Han in her heart, unlike herself, she was always accompanied by her mother-in-law and husband.

Su Ting squeezed Qi Long'er's fingertips, her tall figure could completely cover Qi Long'er, making Qi Long'er look very petite.

"When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will stop by to have a look."

Qi Long'er nodded, "Husband, when will the war in the Southwest end?"

"almost."

Su Ting just smiled but said nothing, Qi Long'er couldn't quite see the deep meaning in that smile.

However, it's better to be like this, lest Su Han be alone in the palace, except for the maids, no relatives are around to greet him.

"The Su Mansion refused?" Mrs. Li was holding the tea in her hand and almost fell, her face was a little embarrassed.

"Third Madam said that the Su Mansion is not suitable for seeing guests these days, and will entertain the Duke's Mansion in a few days."

The boy who delivered the message said.

Mrs. He's complexion is also ugly. The Su family is too shameless. After all, they are also close relatives of the prince. No wonder there are rumors in the capital that the Su family is a powerful person who should not be messed with.

Li Shi glanced at Yang Yue, and suddenly began to feel distressed about those sets of clothes.

Yang Yue kept his head down all the time, with a calm expression on his face.

At this moment, He Guogong walked in, dressed in brocade clothes, unsmiling, although he was forty years old, he was full of uncontrollable air-conditioning.

"Mother, Mr. Su's father is critically ill, and he has already asked for leave this morning."

Mrs. He heard it, "So that's the case, it's a mistake."

Li Shi's face was embarrassed when she heard the words, because she was still slandering the Su family just now.

"Since that's the case, let's put this matter aside for now. The He family has just moved here, and there are still many important matters to be dealt with. It's okay to take a breath. At least the Su family already knows our intentions."

Mrs. He said.

He Guogong nodded upon hearing this.

"Brother, I've been here for so many days, can you arrange a job for my younger brother?"

He Erye smiled and stepped forward, biting the bullet and facing He Guogong's sharp eyes, feeling a little apprehensive.

Second Master He looked at Mrs. He as if asking for help. Mrs. He felt sorry for her son, so she said, "Grandpa, your second brother finally came to the capital and suffered all his life. You are his big brother. If you don't help him help him?"

Second Master He nodded hastily, "Brother, just help me, it's fine for someone to be a part-time official, at least so that the younger brother can support the family."

"Brother, you are the Duke of the country now, but the master is white. The master used to be a county magistrate, so he should be similar to the governor."

Li's eyes are sharp, and the position of Governor of Kyoto is vacant. If Second Lord He can sit on it, Li will be able to straighten up and walk sideways in the future.

He Guogong's face darkened, "Governor of the capital? Second brother, don't be kidding me. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with anything. The emperor conferred the title for Qingyang's sake. A person should be content. Mother, the higher you climb, the higher you fall." The worse it gets, the He family can't repeat the tragedy of Jin'an Hou's family in the past few days."

"Then how can it be the same?" Second Master He immediately retorted, his face collapsing.

"It's not the same? Marquis Jin'an is the emperor's own son. His whole family was beheaded, and he was sentenced to death at the gate of the palace. If Marquis Jin'an can't beg to die, what am I?"

He Guogong was about to be laughed out of anger, Second Master He wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Mrs. He's eyes, after all, he just refused to help, so there was so much nonsense.

"Your elder brother is right. We have just arrived in the capital and have not yet established a firm foothold. We are a little too hasty. However, the Duke of the State, the Jin'an Hou Mansion has committed a serious crime of treason. We are close relatives of the crown prince. We want to help How can you generalize about the prince.”

Mrs. He didn't take it seriously. In the past few days, all kinds of posts received soft hands, and the flattery of the wives has already made Mrs. He lose her former shrewdness and become intoxicated by it.

"Second brother, don't worry, you can't rush this matter."

Mrs. He comforted Second Master He, and Second Master He's expression finally eased.

"Mother!" He Guogong pursed his lips tightly, "As long as we don't hold back, we don't need to worry about the prince's affairs, just close the door and live our own lives, and don't participate in court affairs."

"Brother?" He Erye was reluctant at first, "How can this be meddling in other people's business? The crown prince has not ascended the throne, so many ministers must be dissatisfied. We are all a family and support the crown prince so that the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne. With a strong background, you won’t be underestimated.”

Second Master He said again slowly, "Brother, I understand that you are cautious and don't want to drag the crown prince down, but if the He family doesn't even have anyone who looks like a supporter, how will outsiders think of the He family?"

"Brother, what the master said is right. Look at the Su Mansion. It is a powerful family, and the prince's back is straight. Look around the prince. Apart from the princess, there is not even a side concubine. It's not that he lacks confidence. Afraid of offending the Su family."

Mrs. Li also joined in, trying to persuade, "If the prince is confident enough, he won't even dare to accept a concubine because of other people's feelings. We should take advantage of this time to rise up and support the prince."

Mrs. He's originally firm heart suddenly turned to the second room, "Your second brother is right, the crown prince has a noble status, so he should have more concubines. It's only because the Su family's background is too powerful. Don't forget, the crown prince has not There is no heir under my knees, this is a big matter, and it cannot be sloppy."

He Guogong frowned, "Mother, the crown prince is the crown prince of a country. His surname is Qi but not He. It's not our turn to intervene. Besides, the crown prince has not returned yet, so we don't need to worry about it."

He Guogong has only heard about Qi Yao, but has never seen it. It has been almost 20 years, and there is an extra eldest son out of nowhere. He Guogong feels very uncomfortable.

He Guogong was very sorry when he heard that Qingyang had dystocia and the child died suddenly, but now he is told that the child is not dead and he has become the prince.

He Guogong had a hard time adjusting his mind, he didn't allow anyone to disturb him, he didn't help the crown prince, he owed him so much, and now he was thinking of exploiting him, He Guogong couldn't do it.

"What do you call that?" Mrs. He's face darkened, "The crown prince is honorable, but he is also your son, my grandson, how can the descendants of the He family live outside, how do you let your mother face He after she dies?" The ancestors of the family?"

He Guogong was startled, "Mother, don't you want the prince to recognize his ancestors? Change your surname?"

After He Guogong finished speaking, Second Master He was also stunned, and quickly looked at Mrs. He.

"The crown prince is your eldest son, so he must return to the He family. What's so strange about that?"

Mrs. He had already thought about it early in the morning. The crown prince must be named He, so that the He family line can rise and flourish. Even the next emperor will still be named He.

He Guogong's face was gloomy, "Let's all go down, no one is allowed to come in."

Screening away the waiters in the room, Yang Yue lowered her head and followed them out, not wanting to get involved in this matter.

He Guogong took a deep breath, "Mother, the world belongs to the Qi family, and it is named He surname. If this word spreads, it is a serious crime of treason! Maybe it will implicate the nine clans. If the prince changes his surname, the emperor will be the eternal family of the Qi family." A sinner, mother thinks, will the emperor let the He family go?"

Only then did He Guogong know what Mrs. He was thinking, and he was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat. Some things must be ordered in advance to avoid making big mistakes.

Mrs. He was completely dazzled, and only thought about the problem from her own perspective.

He Guogong's words, He Erye agrees, it's no wonder that the emperor agrees to change his surname, then the country has changed hands, he stood up in shock by his mother's words.

"Mother, elder brother is right, don't mess around, this is a serious crime, besides, elder brother has a son under his knees, doesn't he?"

Mrs. He choked, her face flushed red, she was speechless by He Guogong's words, but she was reprimanded by the two of them in class, and she was a bit stubborn and couldn't turn the corner.
