A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 668 Suspicion
In the court hall of the Yin Kingdom, the direction of the wind changed in waves.

In the past, there were people who made troubles and tried to drive a wedge between King Yin Wu and the emperor while King Wu of Yin was not in court.

The emperor cooperated from time to time on the surface, but in his heart he was happy to see the results.

This morning, someone impeached King Wu of Yin to take credit for his pride, and there was a batch of military pay that he failed to implement. However, the emperor never expected that Xie Hongbo, the Xie family, would stand up and speak for King Wu of Yin.

It is also said that although King Wu of Yin has dealt with it, he also reviewed the military supplies of the Beijing Central Camp and the frontier defenses, and then approved it. In fact, the payment did not touch his hands.

When Xie Hongbo stood up to speak, not only did the emperor's expression change unpredictably, but the entire court hall was also so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Xie Hongbo held the wat board and bowed, and said again: "The king of Yin Wu is the emperor's right-hand man and the pillar of the country. He has made a lot of contributions to the court so far. Therefore, I think that this matter will have to wait until after the king of Yin Wu returns to the court. Late."

The emperor pondered: "Xie Aiqing is right."

Thanks to Xie Hongbo, in the later early courts, the number of courtiers who impeached King Wu of Yin became less and less. In the end, even the emperor thought of reading the papers on the impeachment of King Wu of Yin.

As soon as the books were opened, many of them praised King Wu of Yin and said good things for King Wu of Yin.

Even the old accounts of the impeachment of King Yin Wu in the past, Xie Hongbo's cabinet took the initiative to reverse the case and clarify it for King Yin Wu, and dealt with a group of officials who were not practical and slandered and framed.

The unprecedented calm and harmony in the court hall.

The more this happened, the more subtle feeling arose in the emperor's heart, which made him depressed for several days.

After the court, the emperor returned to the imperial study, opened a few notebooks, looked at them twice, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and threw the notebooks on the ground.

The two eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down to pick it up.

Huang Gonggong said: "The emperor calm down." He asked the little eunuch to pick up the booklet, and then waved his hand to remove the person.

The emperor asked inexplicably: "Recently, King Wu of Yin and the Xie family have gotten quite close?"

Eunuch Huang said: "This old slave dare not speculate."

The emperor gave Eunuch Huang a look of authority without anger, and said, "I want you to speculate? I want you to investigate the situation of the two families!"

He originally used King Yin Wu to contend against the Xie family, but if the two families finally come together, what will happen?

He will never allow such a thing to happen.

***
Recently, a doggerel circulated in the market.

King Wu of Yin defeated Hades.

The kid was beaten and fled everywhere.

Not afraid of vicious dogs biting, not afraid of foreign enemies;

Disarm the weapons before the battle, and shoot the enemy general with a bow.

The kid was so scared that he peed in his pants.

Soar together in the nine heavens, and compete with each other in the lower world;
Yinghui can compete with the sun and the moon to shine.

When Yan'er read this doggerel to Meng Yan, Meng Yan's expression changed a few times.

She looked up at Yan'er and said, "Where did you hear that?"

Yan'er said: "Nowadays the children in the market are singing this, it has been sung in recent two days."

In the past, adults in Beijing used King Yin Wu to scare children. For children who don't know the world, King Yin Wu may be a monster.Even if what they are singing now, they don't know what they are singing, they just know how to say it.

Meng Yan said: "Chongyi, find someone to check and see who first spread this thing."

Here, the emperor was in the imperial study, looking at the doggerel written on the paper with a very gloomy expression.

After a long time, he said: "Now the people in the capital love King Yin Wu, are they rushing to sing praises for him?"

Eunuch Huang bowed and stood aside, saying: "Your Majesty, don't take the words of children in the market to heart."

The emperor said coldly, "What about the things I asked you to investigate?"

Eunuch Huang said: "This morning, I heard that Mrs. Xie's family went to the Yin Wu Palace in person and brought a lot of gifts."

In fact, Xie's family did send someone to visit Prince Yin Wu's residence.

And it was none other than the second Mrs. Xie who lost all face in Shouwang Mansion last time.

Mrs. Xie Er came to the door with a gift, saying that she was coming to make amends, and the housekeeper hurriedly reported to Meng Yan.

Meng Yan said: "It's a sensitive period right now, so this gift from the Xie family came just in time."

The housekeeper said: "How about, the old slave went to refuse."

Meng Yan said: "If you refuse, she will keep the gift. No matter how the palace handles it afterwards, the emperor will believe that the palace has taken it. The emperor will definitely be suspicious of the prince."

The steward also knew that this gift could not be accepted, and said: "Is there any other way for the princess?"

Meng Yan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you tell her to wait outside the door, and I'll go over later."

When Meng Yan went to the front yard, Mrs. Xie and her servants were waiting outside the gate of the palace with gifts.The butler obeyed Meng Yan's literal instructions, and really asked Mrs. Xie to wait outside the door, so she might take a step in the door.

This second Mrs. Xie usually hugged her from front to back, if it were from another family, she would have been invited into the door like offering to a Bodhisattva, and treated her with good tea and fruits.

But she waited a long time outside the gate of Prince Yin Wu's mansion, not to mention drinking good tea, she didn't even have a chance to sit in the door.

Second Madam Xie had never been so neglected before, she was already full of anger.But had to wait patiently.

Finally, when Meng Yan came late, Mrs. Xie had a stiff smile on her face and exchanged a few words with Meng Yan.

Meng Yan stood in the door frame, and still didn't intend to invite her in.

Second Madam Xie said: "I came here this time to apologize to Wang Hao and Mrs. Xia for what happened last time. Prepare a mere gift. I hope Wang Hao will not dislike you."

If it wasn't for Madam Xie's orders today, she would be absolutely unwilling to come here.

The mistress said, no matter how Meng Yan is also Princess Yin Wu, if she reaches out and doesn't hit the smiling face, she just needs to deliver the courtesy.

But these rules and etiquette in Beijing are not very restrictive to Meng Yan, as long as she wants to hit, it doesn't matter whether you are crying or smiling.

Meng Yan looked at Mrs. Xie Er, smiled, and said, "Madam's injuries have healed? Since you came to apologize, do you admit that what happened last time was purely framed and slandered by you?"

Second Madam Xie dryly said: "What happened last time was purely a misunderstanding, I just came to resolve the misunderstanding with the princess."

Meng Yan smiled gently: "Look, Madam, how should I pay for this gift?"

Mrs. Xie Er looked back at the presents her person was holding, and said, "I hope the princess will accept these, it is my heart."

Meng Yan shook her head and said, "This is too dishonest."

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, and said: "What does the princess think, how can you be sincere?"

Meng Yan was still smiling, and said lightly, "Kneel down to me."

As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper of the palace, Chongyi and the others didn't respond, but Mrs. Xie's complexion changed, and she couldn't even maintain her forced and stiff smile.

Second Madam Xie's voice rose two points: "You want me to kneel to you?"
