The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 78 Going to the Princess Banquet ([-])

No one expected that the emperor would be angry, and the eldest princess was taken aback, "Brother emperor!"

"Then tell me, what kind of story Mrs. He told you that you think it's a sarcasm."

The eldest princess was in a dilemma, she didn't speak, and kept silent willfully.The emperor suddenly felt ashamed, pointed to a lady standing not far from Fang Xiuyi and said, "Say it!"

Seeing the situation, the lady didn't dare to say anything, she could only refute and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I didn't hear clearly at that time."

Fang Xiuyi was actually very grateful that the emperor didn't ask her to tell the story at the time, which to a certain extent gave her some face, so when she saw that the emperor was about to get angry, she said decisively: " Your Majesty, the story is told by the concubine, I am afraid that no one is more familiar with it than the concubine, so why not let the concubine tell your majesty."

"Okay, say it!"

Fang Xiuyi repeated the story just now, but the male guests didn't know the cause and effect at that time, and they didn't think the story was ironic.

"Sister, is this what Mrs. He said at the time?"

"Yes, brother."

"Then why can't I hear the meaning of sarcasm? Have you heard it?" the emperor asked the officials.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being dull. I don't have the intelligence of the eldest princess. I really can't hear the sarcasm." Wen Renyi said coolly.

"Then please ask the emperor to solve the confusion!"

The eldest princess was silent again, this puzzle is really hard to solve.

"What about the queen? You should know a thing or two, right?"

The queen looked at the emperor in embarrassment, and then at the eldest princess, saying that the man-made disaster star is a lie in itself, how can I say it here.

"Your Majesty, I feel that today may be a misunderstanding. I think everyone may be a little tired, so why not let's go."

The emperor knew it well, and he also knew that his sister was going to act recklessly, and the queen might just sit back and watch, but I'm afraid it would not be so easy to give up.

Sure enough, He Huai'an quit. He said righteously: "Your Majesty, please let your minister be presumptuous. The eldest princess was just now in front of everyone and accused her wife of framing her, but she did fall into the water. Furthermore, my wife listened to the eldest princess and told stories, but The eldest princess said that my wife was sarcasm. Now, the two things have not been investigated clearly. Although my wife's background is low, she can't be compromised at will. Your Majesty, please be careful!"

"Well, since this is the case, Mrs. He, tell me what happened at that time?" The emperor threw the question to Fang Xiuyi again, since you feel wronged, you can talk about it yourself.

Fang Xiuyi was quickly sorting out her thoughts. She said that she should not make even the slightest mistake, and if there was even the slightest thing that was different from the scene at that time, she would put herself at a disadvantage.

However, what she didn't expect was that someone came forward for her.

"Your Majesty. The concubine just heard everything, why don't I let the concubine talk about it."

Everyone looked at the speaker in surprise. It was Mrs. Cheng who just met Fang Xiuyi today.In this situation, no one wants to go through this muddy water, but this Mrs. Cheng took the initiative to step forward, which is really unbelievable.

"Okay, Mrs. Cheng, you can say it better!"

"Your Majesty, the details are as follows. At that time, everyone was admiring the scenery on the bridge. The eldest princess and Mrs. He talked about the past. She said that when Mrs. He used to make a living in some families, her own luck was not good, and she brought them There is a disaster, it is an ominous person, Mrs. He hopes that the eldest princess will not speak nonsense. But the eldest princess said that there is another suffering master in the mansion, so she just said it face to face. After the suffering master has finished speaking, Mrs. An advises everyone not to disappoint the beautiful scenery and not to say such nonsense But the eldest princess said that since Mrs. He used to make a living by telling stories, she asked Mrs. He to tell everyone present, so Mrs. He told the story that Her Majesty just heard."

Mrs. Cheng spoke fluently and clearly, and after a few words, the emperor and officials already knew almost everything.

"Madam An, is there a mistake in what Madam Cheng said?" Since Madam An was mentioned, the emperor asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, there is no mistake."

"Prince, is that so?"

The eldest princess opened her mouth to deny it, but so many people heard it at that time, and what Mrs. Cheng said was not exaggerated or distorted at all, "Yes, Brother Huang."

"Since there are still some bitter masters in your mansion, then bring them up." The emperor may also be a little disappointed with this younger sister, who hasn't grown up after so many years.

After learning about the good deeds Fang Xiuyi did while sitting with the Queen Mother, the eldest princess wanted to express her mother's breath, so she thought of such a trick to ruin Fang Xiuyi's reputation, but the development of the matter was beyond her expectation.

Mrs. Chang was brought in, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up. I heard the eldest princess say that you are Mrs. He's sufferer. Tell me what kind of suffering it is."

Where did Mrs. Chang think of such a big battle, she just hoped to follow the path of the eldest princess and find a job for her family, why would she still want to meet the emperor.

Mrs. Chang looked at the eldest princess in fear, and the eldest princess glared at her angrily.Mrs. Chang was so frightened that she hurriedly repeated what she said at the time.

After such a toss, everyone knows why that story is a sarcasm.But that's not the case, Mrs. Chang wanted to exploit the Eldest Princess, and the Eldest Princess took the opportunity to stab Fang Xiuyi. Unexpectedly, Fang Xiuyi successfully countered with a story without swearing.Many people looked at Fang Xiuyi with amazement, they didn't expect He Huai'an's wife who appeared suddenly to be so intelligent.

"You bastard! The matter of scheming and attaching to the association is also used to spread around, take it down!" The emperor was also angry.

Mrs. Chang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, crying, "Princess, help me! My lord..."

Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess yelled sharply: "Gag her mouth yet, foul language!"

Poor Mrs. Chang didn't understand what was going on, so she was dragged out.There was silence in the hall, and many people knew that the emperor's most taboo was these words of attachment.

The emperor knew that his younger sister was pampered and grew up with a simple mind, a domineering personality, and a straightforward approach, but it was the first time that she acted so stupidly in public.He looked at Fang Xiuyi with complicated emotions, from his contempt for this woman at the beginning, to his surprise at her later, to his admiration for this scene with a little hatred.

"Brother Huang, I know I was wrong, please make amends, Brother Huang." Seeing that the situation was wrong, the eldest princess took the initiative to admit her mistake, even though she had no sense of mistake.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Brother Huang, I shouldn't have listened to other people's rumors." The eldest princess has been favored all her life, and she doesn't have a strong sense of danger, so she added, "But, Brother Huang, Mrs. He really jumped in by herself." , has nothing to do with me, the emperor can ask the queen."

In this regard, although Fang Xiuyi was a victim, he also expressed deep sympathy for the eldest princess.Originally, this matter could be settled in a muddle-headed way, but the eldest princess insisted on bringing it up.

"Okay, since you want to make it clear, then, Empress, you can also say it." The emperor seemed to have given up his expectation of the eldest princess.

The queen is smarter than the eldest princess, and she glanced at the eldest princess with a bit of resentment, but could only reply: "Return to your majesty, the eldest princess is right, Mrs. He said she was going to jump off."

There was an uproar in the audience, although everyone guessed that Fang Xiuyi jumped off by himself, but it was a bit too shocking to say it openly.

"Madam He, what do you say?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine never said such a thing. I really fell into the water by accident."

"Nonsense! You said at the time that you were going to jump off." The princess was so angry that she stood up.

"Your Majesty, I dare to swear to the sky that I never said that!" Fang Xiuyi said decisively.

"Mrs. Cheng, since you just said that you have seen everything, then you can talk about it again." For some reason, Fang Xiuyi always felt that this Mrs. Cheng seemed very unusual, why the emperor kept making her talk.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I really did not hear Mrs. He say this."

"You..." The Eldest Princess pointed to the other wives and asked, "Did no one hear you?"

No one spoke at the bottom, Fang Xiuyi was only talking to the queen and the eldest princess at that time, how could it be possible for others to hear it.

"Enough!" The emperor stopped.

"Brother Huang, she really jumped down by herself. She even took my hand and put it on her body, making others think that I pushed her down. Brother Huang, this Fang family is really a vicious person, Brother Huang must be careful!"

"Ridiculous! Mrs. Gu, since you were standing opposite Mrs. He, what did you see then?" The emperor had sinister intentions and pushed this problem to Mrs. Gu.

Gu Zhun and He Huai'an are good friends, everyone knows it, but they are too close.

"Return to Your Majesty, I only saw Mrs. He fall into the water at that time." Mrs. Gu's words were ambiguous, neither saying that Fang Xiuyi did not do it, nor did she say that Fang Xiuyi did it.

"Brother Huang..." The eldest princess was not reconciled, and wanted to say something else.

"Shut up!" The emperor saw Fang Xiuyi standing there silently, and then thought of his sister, his heart burst into flames, "Today is a good day, it is because of the two of you who destroyed it, and did not want to repent, and made progress. The eldest princess As a royal princess, without thinking about the overall situation, she was punished not to leave the palace for one month, and to copy the "Diamond Sutra" once. He Fang committed a crime by speaking out, took away the first-rank order, copied "The Analects of Confucius" ten times, and was not allowed to leave the palace for one month."

Maybe the emperor felt that he still couldn't let go of his hatred, and said to the other wives: "You guys, copy "The Analects of Confucius" twice when you go back, and check the school randomly after one month."

"Brother Huang..." The eldest princess didn't expect this kind of punishment, of course she didn't want to,
"Within one month, no one is allowed to enter the Princess's mansion, except for daily purchases!" The emperor slapped his hands hard.

The eldest princess didn't dare to say more, the veins in her clenched hands were exposed, and she stared at Fang Xiuyi viciously.

Fang Xiuyi knelt on the ground and thanked her naturally. For her, this first-grade product is not very useful now, and it doesn't matter if she has it or not. It's a good thing to let her not leave the house, even if she doesn't leave the house for a year. She can do it too.

The other wives also had no choice but to say yes, but a few wives showed embarrassment, although it was slight, but because the emperor wanted to vent his anger, they were keenly caught.

"You guys, what's the problem? Do you think I've punished you improperly?"

The ladies were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and even said no.

"Then what concerns do you have?"

"My concubine is illiterate." Finally, a lady explained the reason.

"Okay, okay, I can't read! Which family's adults?"

When the emperor spoke, several adults quickly knelt down.

"It's not wrong to be illiterate, but as a family member of a court minister, how can you be uneducated? Go back and educate your wife!"

Several adults quickly kowtowed to thank you.

I thought it was over, but He Huaian knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, my wife's absence today disturbed Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Eldest Princess. I feel deeply guilty about the lack of responsibility. I ask for a one-year fine and resignation for one month. Except for purchasing, the Shangshu Mansion will be closed for one month."

"Okay, I will do as you wish. However, the jokes I heard from Mrs. He just now are good, how about my wife write me a hundred jokes within a month?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I will try my best to complete it."

"Wen Aiqing, since He Aiqing asked to resign for a month, you can temporarily receive the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"The minister obeys the order."

The emperor left with the queen, and the eldest princess also angrily threw all the guests into the hall and left.

Everyone, you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything, because no one expected such an ending.But most of the men looked at He Huai'an with complicated expressions.Since He Huai'an had his wife, I heard that as long as he doesn't go home at noon, his wife will send people to bring a lot of food and drink; I heard that Madam He was beaten in the Queen Mother's Palace, but the Queen Mother's niece was also demoted to the palace ; I heard that there was a murder case in Qian's mother's grave; I heard that Mr. He's daughter beat someone and was grounded for a month.It wasn't until I saw it today that I realized that these rumors are too illusory, far less shocking than what I saw with my own eyes and ears today.

This Mrs. He dared to play tricks in public. Not only did she earn face for herself, but she also made the eldest princess recite unwarranted guesses. They all knew that this Mrs. He probably deliberately made people think that the eldest princess was in a hurry. Push her into the water.The point is that the emperor was embarrassed, and his sister lost face in front of all the officials and concubines.It's no wonder that such a woman has always been low-key and seldom leaves the house. She is so self-aware. With such destructive power, if she often comes out, she won't cause a lot of trouble? !
The women didn't think so much. Many of them naturally thought of Mrs. Chang's words, and agreed with Mrs. Chang's statement in their hearts. This Mrs. He is really a disaster. She was destroyed, and she was punished for copying "The Analects of Confucius".But there is also something gratifying, the always arrogant and domineering eldest princess dared to push people into the water, was fined, and was reprimanded by the emperor, this is really gratifying!

The eldest princess left, and the son-in-law appeared.

"I'm sorry, I didn't greet you well today, and I will make amends another day. I will send you adults out." The son-in-law had a gentle face.

No matter how much trouble the consort sent out, everyone politely declined, but in the end everyone went out together in a mighty way.Originally, the wives wanted to wait for the sedan chairs from the mansion to arrive at the door, and then go back in their own carriages, but after such an accident, everyone didn't want to wait for a long time, so they all walked to the door to take the carriage.

So, for the first time, and possibly the last time, it will all take the family as the unit, and every adult will walk to the gate in groups of three or four, and then get on the carriage in order, one after another. The scene was spectacular.
