Concubine Raiders

It is said that Xu Lingyi has come back. Eleven Niang and Zhen elder sister are busy welcoming him. After saluting, they embrace him to salute and greet Mrs. Tai.

Too madam did not wait for him to get up, already urgent way: "how to come back so late." He pointed to the other side and asked him to sit down.

"The emperor left me to talk. It happened that someone from the imperial family went back to the first sacrifice ceremony of the fifth prince, and then he sat down a little longer."

The funeral ceremony of the five princes stopped for three days, mourned for five days, and the eleventh day was the "first sacrifice".

Mrs. Tai immediately said, "what does the emperor say?"

Xu Lingyi said with a wry smile: "ten thousand gold and silver ingots, ten thousand paper money, thirty-one feasts, nineteen sheep and nine wine. Officials from the four ranks, below the prince, above the general, princes and uncles, as well as the inner and outer wives of life, gathered in the sacrificial hall to read, drink and salute. "

Everyone was startled.

"Ten thousand gold and silver paper, thirty-one feasts," the second lady pondered, "is there too much..."

Xu Lingyi nodded: "it's not only me, but also the patriarchal clan's mansion that feels too much. But the emperor's attitude is very firm, and we don't have much to say, so it's settled. "

The second lady looked at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly.

They didn't talk again.

Mrs. Tai is also in deep thought.

Eleven Niang made a wink at Zhen's younger sister, and they went out quietly.

Face to face, Zhun elder brother's face is ruddy and too madam's small servant girl in the room, Xiao Shao, talks and laughs and walks in.

See eleven Niang and Zhen elder sister son, he big voice way: "mother, I kicked 11 today, more than small peony three."

Eleven Niang see surrounded by his small servant girl hand also holding a few shuttlecock, know that they are in the back cover room kicking shuttlecock. Smiling and touching his head, he said, "you can kick eleven already, good, good!"

He grinned, a little smug.

"Your father's in there talking to grandma. Let's talk in a low voice." Eleven Niang whispered to him.

Zhun elder brother immediately nods, uses very small very small voice to small peony way: "we kick again tomorrow."

Xiao Shao whispered "yes". She followed Zhun's maid and daughter-in-law to salute the eleven Niang. As soon as she got up, Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu and Xu Sijian came over.

Zhun elder brother immediately toward them low voice way: "father father is inside and grandmother talk, want to speak in a low voice."

In recent days, the atmosphere at home is tense, and several children know that, now listening to Zhun elder brother's saying, his eyes all show a few uneasiness. He goes forward to salute eleven Niang lightly, but the voice of his wife comes from the inner room: "is brother Qin, brother Yu, are they coming?"

"Yes Xu Siqin answered in a loud voice at once.

"Come in!" Taifu said, "your fourth uncle is here too!"

Xu Si Qin and his three men straightened their lapels and entered the inner room.

Eleven Niang also led Zhun elder brother and Zhen elder sister son to follow in.

The children saluted their elders, and the third master and the third lady came.

They looked gloomy. They changed their old smile and looked happy from their brows.

The Third Master asked the fifth Prince's "first sacrifice" with concern. Xu Lingyi said simply. The couple couldn't help but chatter. The third lady even said with a smile: "since the emperor has given such a favor, she still has a favor to our empress."

Mrs. Tai, Xu Lingyi and the second Madame did not speak, and their faces were even less cheerful. The atmosphere in the room suddenly sank.

The third master glared at the third lady.

The third lady awkwardly said, "I, am I wrong?"

Eleven Niang saw a way: "want to come is like this." And asked the little servant girl: "go to have a look, is the meal ready?"

Too madam three people's facial expressions slightly some ease.

Everyone was relieved.

The little servant girl answered and went, five ye and five madams came over with a smile.

Too madam laughs: "how did you also come?"

The fifth master salutes the fifth lady, who has already exempted the fifth lady's gift.

"It's rare to be so leisurely. Come here and be lively."

Just saying, the little servant girl came in and said, "the mothers say they can eat at any time."

"Let's have dinner then." Too Madame said to get up, two madams busy to help, everyone around to go to the East.

After dinner, Mrs. Tai didn't leave anyone, so we all went back to have a rest quickly: "we have to celebrate the new year, and we have to attend the first sacrifice and the great sacrifice."

Xu Lingyi's respectful voice should be "yes", and the people were separated.

Back in the room, Xu Lingyi's face sank. After washing, they went to bed. He lay down on his back, looked at the top of the tent, and sighed in a low voice: "today the Ministry of rites came to discuss the matter of the fifth prince. The emperor changed his previous gentleness and showed very stubborn There is even a taste of prosperity for those who follow me, and those who go against me die! "

Eleven Niang listens to body a shock to sit up: "shun me to be prosperous, inverse me to die?"

Xu Lingyi's expression was a little confused and recalled: "it's not exactly It's very stiff. The official said, "there are more gold and silver ingots for Prince Li Tong." the emperor jumped up and smashed an inkstone. If he Gonggong didn't block it, the ritual officer would have splashed blood five feet It's the first time I've known him for such a long time that I've seen him lose his temper I saw that he was in a bad mood. After the ceremony officer left, he sat down for a while and was ready to leave The emperor left me alone Without saying anything, he sat in the warm Pavilion for a long time. Let me step down again... "He who is in charge of the game has a good view.

The emperor called for the man, but he sat silent

Eleven Niang's brain is turning fast.

He is the emperor. What can't be said?

They are monarchs and ministers, but also brothers and uncles Monarch and minister, of course, can say anything, but if it is the husband, with the death of the fifth prince, such silence will become understandable.

Eleven Niang asks cautiously: "Hou ye also did not take the initiative to say what with emperor?"

"How can you not talk! It's just a few greetings. " Xu Lingyi chuckled helplessly. A trace of self mockery flashed in her eyes. "You know Mr. Deng's attitude. He had been in the Academy for more than thirty years, but he didn't have a better teacher to introduce him. He was totally in a hurry. I'm afraid it's more than I can say! " At the end of the speech, I was disappointed.

What does Mr. Deng explain?

Is the present situation very complex, even as the emperor's teacher Mr. Deng also does not want to get involved? Or does Mr. Deng think that the emperor would "die of the cunning rabbit and hide the good bow" and not want to go too close to the Xu family? Or now that we have the honor of the emperor, we just want to be alone?

Eleven Niang pondered: "Marquis, don't you say that you will resign after the new year? I think it's better to quit now... "

She thought about the changes of the third master and the third lady.

Knowing that they want to go out, the couple are smiling all day long. The third lady takes the housekeeper as a hot potato and tries her best to tell herself how to manage the house. At the end of the day, it's because of the vision of a new life that there will be such a change. If Xu Lingyi loses her promise, of course, there is a reason for it. But apart from her strong disappointment, the husband and wife can't live without a little resentment. The 11 niangs who are not in charge of the family are not forced to do so. Now, she is more relaxed if she is not in charge. What's more, although the three ladies are a little greedy, the water is clear and there is no fish. Who sits in that position is the same. Speaking of it, the third lady did a good job. A lot of positions have been reduced, and the expenses at home are less than when yuanniang was in

Xu Lingyi wryly said, "I don't want to. But at this time, I'm afraid that the emperor thinks that I'm going to retreat in order to advance. Instead, there will be a gap. "

Eleven Niang heard: "Niang said, when you were young, you often went into the palace to see the emperor. The emperor treated the Marquis like his own brother. You broke Shun Wang's head, or the emperor tried to cover it up. "

Xu Lingyi's eyes darkened: "it was when I was a child..."

However, eleven Niang said: "even so, the love of childhood is there. Didn't you talk to my wife about being with the empress two days ago? The Emperor may not forget it. " Her voice was slow and a little low. In this quiet night, it was like a cup of mellow tea, with the warmth of the heart. "Besides, you are small, what can't you say? Even if you rely on him or you are ruffian, you can say something difficult... "

No matter whether it is out of concern or taboo, the emperor must be very concerned about the Xu family. The family affairs may not be hidden from the emperor's ears and eyes. It's better to play a sad card and gently tell the emperor about his family's affairs. On the one hand, it can avoid the emperor's thinking that Xu Lingyi is playing the trick of retreating; the second is to weaken the relationship between the monarch and the ministers and emphasize the relationship between relatives; the third is to weaken the image of Xu Lingyi, or even the image of the Xu family. If such a strong man has intractable problems that cannot be solved, he can only bear it helplessly. I believe that the emperor will reevaluate Xu Lingyi's ability and even be happy to see the contradictions within the Xu family. Therefore, the third master's official career may be more smooth.

Xu Lingyi understood his wife's intention after a little thought.

He didn't speak for a long time.

After all, he is an aristocratic family. His pride is in his bones. It would be hard for him to withdraw from the officialdom on the grounds of such a thing.

Eleven Niang didn't expect that he could change his mind if he spoke two words. He said in a soft voice: "those who have achieved great things will not be bound by small details. The merits and demerits of thousands of years are evaluated by later generations. What's more, the winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy... "

Hearing this, Xu Lingyi could not help but stare at his wife and fell into meditation.

******

on the 11th, the first sacrifice ceremony was held in Sishan gate, and on the 12th, officials of the Ministry of internal affairs held a "Yi sacrifice ceremony" for the fifth prince. The scene is also grand. Gold and silver ingots and paper money each 2000, five meals, five sheep, five wine. On the thirteenth day, a great sacrifice was held, and the emperor came in person. The ceremony was the same as the first sacrifice, and only nine wine was changed into five wine. At this time, the queen was ill. The emperor ordered Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Yongping to visit the palace.

Mrs. Tai was worried and didn't sleep all night. The next morning, she looked tired and took eleven Niang to Kunning palace.

The atmosphere of Kunning palace is dignified. The Empress Dowager's mother came to see the doctor. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. 11 stood outside for more than two hours. At noon, the Empress Dowager rose to leave.

The empress herself sent her out.

Eleven Niang found her make-up gorgeous, eyes with Qi color, difficult to cover the weariness between the eyebrows, the heart can not help a tight.
