A Thousand Hills

Chapter 156

The relationship between Xie Moru and the Fifth Prince became more and more harmonious, and the Fifth Prince was able to listen to Xie Moru's opinions. Now that the fraud case is over and the Ministry of Rituals is not very busy, he often goes to his emperor's father to send warmth, everything, What are the specialties of Ximan, and the local products of Nan'an, and they often accompany Emperor Mu Yuan to have meals and drink tea to express his concern. You said that you disgusted the eldest prince, and the eldest prince said, "I don't know why you are so petty, father. What is not the best in the emperor, he prefers to get these little things."

Cui Shi then said, "Although it is small, it is also the filial piety of His Highness the Fifth Prince. I often go to my concubine's place. Your Highness should not be busy with important matters. Your Highness is the eldest brother, so you should be more filial to your father." The family is also a little dissatisfied, and they are very courteous, and they can't do it unless they compare others.It stands to reason that Cui Shi has always been generous, so he shouldn't have thought this way.However, since the earthquake last year, her mother-in-law Zhao Guifei would mention to her from time to time how the concubine of the Fifth Prince's Mansion is so outstanding and pleasing to the eye.Cui is not stupid, how could she not understand what her mother-in-law meant, it was just taught by the bastard of the Fifth Prince's Mansion.If you want something else, the mother-in-law said, Cui Shi naturally wants to listen to it and change it, only this matter, Cui Shi is really wronged.It's not that she doesn't have a son, since she has a son, she naturally wants to take care of her son.As for the concubine, there are a lot of nurses and maids, is it possible that she still needs to watch with her bawdy eyes?What's more, can the Fifth Prince's Mansion be compared with their village?The four prince's mansions together with the East Palace, only the fifth prince's mansion has no concubine son, Xie Moru will have to count on the concubine son in the future, can she not teach her well?
Cui Shi didn't believe that her mother-in-law didn't even understand this reason, and she was born to find fault with herself, Cui Shi was naturally not very happy.Now there are moths in the fifth prince's mansion again, so Cui couldn't hold back and said a few sour words to fan the flames.

The eldest prince said, "Now the Ministry of War is busy, how can I be like the fifth child and go to the front of the father when I have nothing to do?"

After all, Mrs. Cui came from everyone. When she realized that her emotions were wrong, she immediately corrected herself and said, "Actually, His Highness was thinking too much. Which one of your Highnesses is not filial. Think about it, the fraud case caused a lot of trouble. Well, the Fifth Highness didn't have the same intentions. Thinking about it, he came up with this idea now that he is free. His Highness is busy with the Ministry of War, and he is so devoted to his work. Father Anneng doesn't know. Let me tell you, we don't have to join in. This is interesting, otherwise, seeing how industrious and careless the Fifth Prince is, His Highnesses put aside the important affairs of the country at hand, and instead do these small things, who will the important affairs of the country be entrusted to?" He also advised her husband, "People and people are also the same. It's not the same, look at these girls in the house, they serve people thoughtfully and properly, they are good hands. Your Highness has to do big things, if you ask His Highness to do some errands of serving people, it would be overkill."

The eldest prince laughed happily and said, "You also have times like this." Isn't it?Look at the virtue of the fifth child in front of his father, the one who serves tea and water, grabs the man's errand!
Cui Shi said, "Just as an example, what's the narrowness?" Alas, what's the matter, or is there really a suspicion in my heart against the Fifth Prince's House, why do I always say such sour words.

The eldest prince laughed for a while, and then put the matter aside.

A few days later, a happy event happened in the palace. The sixth prince got the eldest son. Faced with this, many people's reaction was: The sixth prince is not married yet, right?
In fact, the sixth prince's father is picking a wife for him, and the sixth prince's fourth brother is busy building a mansion for him. Then, the sixth prince's daughter-in-law is still there, and she gave birth to the eldest son.

Mrs. Cui said, "The matter of the sixth prince..." sighed, and ordered the maid to prepare for the third baptism of the eldest son of the sixth prince.

The eldest prince didn't take it seriously, he wanted to enter the palace and congratulate the sixth younger brother, so yes, as for the bastard before entering the main room, his mansion also had the bastard first!
Dong Gong didn't care too much about the eldest prince's behavior. He was a rich man, and he didn't worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law. It didn't matter if he had a concubine in advance.On the contrary, the fourth prince said to the fifth prince in private, "It's not good for the sixth brother. Why should he let his wife come in first, and then talk about the concubine." He is a sensible person. The daughter-in-law brings the dowry and the resources of her natal family to marry in. She also has to take care of the inner house and raise children.

The fifth prince and the fourth prince have a good relationship and have a common language. Hearing what the fourth prince said, he took it for granted, and said, "Isn't that right? The sixth brother is also, so what's the rush? Even those who have servants should take precautions." As for the matter of the concubine, it is better to discuss it with the sixth younger siblings first." The fifth prince hoped that his concubine would not have a concubine for many years, but his wife was virtuous and taught the children very well.Moreover, the wife can not only help manage the inner room and teach the children, even the fifth prince himself has to admit that after getting married, he will be guided by Xie Moru.Like the sixth prince, the marriage has not yet happened, and the eldest son was born first, so there is no one who can marry into the royal family.

The age gap between the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince is a bit big, and the sixth prince has his own biological mother, Concubine Liu Xian, so it is not their turn to express their opinions. Moreover, the sixth prince has just had a son, so it is not a good time Go splash cold water.

The four princes and the five princes babbled once, and then they broke up.

The three baptisms of a concubine born to the emperor's grandson were originally nothing unusual, but because the emperor's grandson's father was still unmarried, it was a little bit eye-catching.The main point is to compare the first five princes. Even the prince of the East Palace is very polite. He had no concubine children before marriage.The sixth prince suddenly had a concubine's eldest son, which surprised everyone.

In fact, when you think about it, it's not abnormal, even in ordinary wealthy families, there are also concubines who have children before the main wife enters the family. Of course, generally such wealthy families will be secretly picked on.After all, the daughter of a well-matched family is not a Chinese cabbage.Fortunately, the royal family is not an ordinary wealthy family. Although the sixth prince has a concubine's eldest son, the sixth prince's concubine is still a popular candidate.

Since it was the third baptism of the eldest son of the sixth prince and concubine, and the sixth prince is unmarried now, the three baptisms were performed by Liu Xianfei, the biological mother of the sixth prince.Concubine Liu Xian could only see joy on her face, because the Sixth Prince was still living in the palace, Empress Dowager Hu was most willing to join in the fun, and her old man actually went to visit the great-grandson in the uterus of the Sixth Prince, Empress Dowager Hu was alarmed, the harem was full of people All the concubines went.Of course, the princes and concubines also arrived earlier.

Empress Dowager Hu had something to say when she saw Xie Moru, so she looked at Xie Moru and sighed, "Women, the most important thing is to carry on the family line. Having a son is meritorious." Xie Moru ignored the Queen Mother Hu at all. While talking, there was a trace of indifference between her brows, she turned her face away, and was not prepared to find any opinions on such "high opinions" like Queen Mother Hu.Empress Dowager Hu thought that Xie Moru was not very happy, and she was very proud of being able to make things difficult for Xie Moru, she asked Concubine Liu Xian, "Poor girl, she is a good girl, she gave birth to a son for Xiao Liu, she must be given a title." This sentence almost didn't choke Concubine Liu Xian to death.

Concubine Liu Xian hurriedly said, "She was originally asked to serve Xiao Liu, this was originally her duty, how dare she ask for a reward from the empress."

Empress Dowager Hu said, "It's different after giving birth to a son. Serving tea and water for many years is not as good as adding sons and grandchildren to our royal family." She was directly promoted to side concubine.

Concubine Liu Xian really wished she could vomit out a mouthful of old blood, congratulations were already on the sidelines.Concubine Liu Xian had no choice but to brace her head to deal with it, Xie Moru was just watching a farce.She went to Shuren Palace to visit Concubine Su without eating the three wines. Empress Dowager Hu complained to the emperor's son in the evening, "Xiao Liu's happy life, Ai's family went to drink, and she would not give Xiao Liu such shame as a sister-in-law. Fortunately, Xiao Liu has a heart, otherwise I don’t know how to be unhappy.” He complained to his son Xie Moru for a while, “Isn’t it just that the girl who gave birth to Xiao Liu’s son is a palace lady? The Ai family knows, She looks down on Aijia..." Then she shed a few more tears.

"The queen mother thinks too much, it will definitely not be like this. It is also the credit of the side concubine of Xiao Wu's house that Xiao Wu and I can escape from danger automatically. Isn't side concubine Ling also a palace lady?" Emperor Mu Yuan smiled and changed the subject , asked, "Is it still lively to drink and eat today?"

"It's very lively. Concubine Zhao and Concubine Xie have all gone, and the Crown Princess and the eldest daughter-in-law are also here. It's very lively, but it's a pity that the emperor is not free." Empress Dowager Hu was quite regretful.

Emperor Mu Yuan coaxed his old lady, "It's good to be lively." Emperor Mu Yuan was not the Queen Mother Hu, he was born fainted.When the crown prince's eldest son was born, of course, at that time the crown prince had not yet registered in the East Palace, and the branch office was outside, so Emperor Mu Yuan only increased the rewards and did not come in person.Now the six princes and the eldest son of the concubine are doing the three baptisms, if he comes in person, what will it be?

After coaxing my old lady for a few years, Emperor Mu Yuan went to Concubine Xie's palace.

Concubine Xie Guifei is the aunt of Xie Moru's direct relative, even if the aunt and nephew do not have much communication on weekdays, Concubine Xie will speak on Xie Moru's side, not to mention, it is not Xie Moru's fault to say it out of conscience.Seeing Emperor Mu Yuan asking about the three baptisms of the six princes and concubines, Concubine Xie said, "It's pretty good. The baby is fat and crying very loudly. It's getting colder. When the season changes, Concubine Su is weak and can't brag about it." The wind didn't pass. If I didn't see my mother-in-law, I was naturally concerned about it. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like mother and daughter, I think Mo Ru was a little worried, so I went to Concubine Su's palace."

What you say is so reasonable and realistic.

It wasn't at all to excuse Xie Moru, mainly because Emperor Mu Yuan also knew that Xie Moru and Concubine Su really had a good relationship.Moreover, Concubine Su is indeed not in good health, and on this occasion, all the dignified concubines in the palace went with the Queen Mother, and did not see her own mother-in-law, of course Xie Moru, a daughter-in-law, had to go to greet her.Emperor Mu Yuan knew what was going on.As for Empress Dowager Hu's promotion to the palace man to be a side concubine, Concubine Xie didn't mention it at all.

After listening to Concubine Xie Guifei, Emperor Mu Yuan rested in Linzhi Palace.

Concubine Liu Xian summoned the sixth prince to come forward and reprimanded her, "Give me some peace! Before your royal brothers got married, although it was inevitable that concubines like concubines would serve on them, none of them gave birth to a concubine like you. Come!"

The sixth prince, Weiwei, asked his mother, "The thing about the side concubine that the emperor's grandmother said..."

"You still dare to mention it!" Concubine Liu Xian slapped her palms on the table, "Of course it is meritorious to have a son. You can give birth to more children in the future. How many side concubines do you have for them? The empress dowager said That's right, this is their duty! Is there any special reward for doing what is within their duty? If you are not a concubine, let's wait until your daughter-in-law comes in."

The sixth prince didn't dare to say any more, he resigned from his mother and went back to his courtyard to visit his son.

To say that the six princes had a concubine's eldest son earlier was just a little surprising, but in the blink of an eye, the mother of the concubine's eldest son was registered as a side concubine at the three banquets, and people have some opinions.

It is acceptable for people to have a concubine's eldest son before marriage. After all, it is the royal family. The old Mu's family is especially short of children, so I understand.But just because she gave birth to a son, it is difficult to understand that a palace lady was registered as a side concubine.Even the eldest prince said, "What's wrong with the emperor's grandmother?" Thinking of himself, or what?
Cui sighed straight away, "It will be difficult for the sixth sibling in the future."

Since Empress Dowager Hu has always favored the Eastern Palace, the Eastern Palace will not comment on this matter.

The third prince, who has always been gentle, said when he heard about this from his wife, "Isn't this quite in line with the rules?"

The fourth prince complained directly, "The old lady thinks that when she thinks about it, it's when she comes out."

The fifth prince said, "Where are you going? Where is the emperor's grandmother doing things like this? How can there be any rules in the future?"

Xie Moru said lightly, "The Empress Dowager is just enjoying her mouth, don't worry, this matter will not be accomplished. Your Majesty is not confused." See?This is how rights are ruined bit by bit by stupidity, hasn't Charity Palace noticed it yet?When a person's words have no weight, what is the value of this person?
