[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Concubine De's eyes were burning with anger, and when Shuwan left, she still gave something.

Back home, Xiaoyan held the incense burner favored by Defei and filled it with spices.

The fourth elder brother was stunned when he saw the incense burner when he came home, "Where did this come from? I've never seen this at home."

Shuwan said: "I have the cheek to beg it from Er Niang."

Xiaoyan lit the spices, saluted with the other maids and left.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Shuwan sighed with the fourth elder brother.

"Today the fifth princess had a quarrel with the empress. Erniang wanted to give the fourteenth brother a red coral decoration. The red coral in her treasury was not as good as the coral in her younger sister's dowry. The empress wanted to exchange it with the fifth princess. The fifth princess After getting jealous, I quarreled with Empress directly, saying that Empress was partial."

The fourth elder brother hurriedly asked: "What did you say?"

"At the beginning, I persuaded Er Niang a few words, and Er Niang asked me to comment, so I just said it straight, and I said that I also think you are partial."

The fourth elder brother sighed: "Silly girl! You are too sincere! Their mother and daughter quarrel, what are you getting involved in? They are mothers and daughters, no matter how they quarrel, they don't hold grudges, you can't!"

Alas, I know, you are fighting for me.But after so many years, I'm used to it, and I don't feel regretful in my heart. "

Shuwan: "I'm not doing it for you either. Your Majesty keeps asking me, so I'll just tell the truth!"

Shuwan pulled the fourth elder brother to sit down, "I remember, we have two red coral plants in our house. Although they are not big, they are a pair. I will send someone to the warehouse to find them. Come out, you send someone to quietly deliver the things to Er Niang."

Shuwan taught the fourth elder brother what to say.

"You just say, you already know what happened in the palace. My sister is still young, and she is a spoiled aunt who grew up spoiled. She is not going well in her in-law's house. She is angry and can only go back to her mother's house to act like a baby. Please don't blame her. Sister. As for you, since you were young, you knew that it was not easy for Er Niang to live in the palace. You don’t want to fight with your younger siblings, as long as Er Niang remembers you in her heart. I gave these two corals to my younger brother for display, congratulating him on his wedding joy."

Shuwan said again: "By the way, the most important point, you remember to point out that you took out these two corals behind my back. It's better to say a few bad things about me, and you don't have to make up for me."

"Nonsense!" said the fourth elder brother, "I can't sell you just to please my mother."

Shuwan didn't care, "What's the matter! As long as you do what I say, Erniang will be ashamed and love you. Even if the emperor knows about it, he will praise you for your filial piety."

"Don't be in a hurry to please the Empress, please don't make up your mind, just take care of yourself."

Shuwan sneered, "If you don't do it, I'll help you! Come on! Call Su Peisheng, I have something to tell him!"

Fourth elder brother: "Hiss, you!"

Shuwan raised her eyebrows, telling him to be honest and not delay her from doing business.

Su Peisheng is a smart person, and after a few instructions from Shuwan, he will know what to do.

He took the coral and sent it to the palace, and then returned happily to his command.

"The concubine de concubine was very moved, and rewarded the servant with a lot of money. It made the county king and Fujin laugh. It's not that the servant has confiscated the reward, but this kind of face is really rare.

The concubine de concubine said, the thing was received, and the heart was also received.She told the county king not to be angry with Fujin. Fujin is a good daughter-in-law, but she is outspoken. In terms of filial piety, she is the same as the county king. "

Shuwan said: "It's all right now, with my elder brother comforting me, the empress should feel much better. My elder brother will go to coax the fifth princess again, so everyone will be happy."

The fourth elder brother rubbed his forehead, the relationship is really troublesome!

The next day, the fourth elder brother went to the fifth princess's mansion, he had a sincere talk with the fifth princess, and finally the fifth princess went to the palace to reconcile with the concubine De.

In the next few days, Concubine De didn't ask Shuwan to enter the palace again, she handled the fourteenth elder brother's wedding by herself, and didn't ask Fifth Princess and Shuwan to help.

Shuwan thought that this matter was handled satisfactorily, and felt that the eccentric incident should be over. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the fourteenth elder brother came to the door and quarreled with the fourth elder brother in the front yard.

Su Peisheng hurriedly sent someone to ask Shuwan to come to the rescue, but he couldn't persuade him, he was afraid that if the quarrel continued, the fourth elder brother and the brothers would fight.

Shuwan didn't care about anything else, she put down what she was doing, and hurried to the front yard. Standing at the gate of the yard, she heard the quarrel in the room.

Fourteenth elder brother yelled loudly: "Who is angry with Er Niang? It's not you! The king of Yongjun is so great now, his own Er Niang doesn't even look down on him!"

Fourth elder brother: "Stop messing around here, when will I get mad at my mother!"

"It's not that you are angry, why is Erniang crying? You put on airs outside the palace, and everyone who sees you has to call out to the prince in a low voice. Others are afraid of you, but I am not!"

Shuwan frowned, and walked quickly into the room.

"You brothers, don't quarrel, and your family has something to say!" Shuwan squeezed out a smile and persuaded softly, "Don't be angry, brother fourteen, you finally come here, sister-in-law will buy food and drinks, let's talk while drinking We are all family, what can we not talk about?"

The fourteenth elder brother put his hands behind his back and sneered disdainfully, "Sister-in-law, don't pretend to be kind here. The king of Yongjun can't often go to the Yonghe Palace to pay his respects. Usually, it's the sister-in-law who tells stories in front of his mother. No one in the capital knows that the king of Yongjun is afraid of his wife. , he is not filial, maybe it was his sister-in-law who instigated him!"

Shuwan was furious immediately, and the smile on her face could not be squeezed out.

"Fourteenth brother, I know you are angry, I can understand your mood, but there are some things you can't say nonsense!"

The fourteenth elder brother looked at Shuwan up and down, "Sister-in-law, don't pretend to be virtuous, and you can't pretend that you are not. Why did Er Niang cry a few days ago, don't you think I don't know? It is clear that sister-in-law is telling the truth, saying that Er Niang is partial !"

The fourteenth elder brother scolded the fourth elder brother again, "You are still the king of Yongjun! I despise you the most. What kind of man are you? You can't even control your daughter-in-law when you go outside! Such an unvirtuous wife, you can't stop her!"

The fourth elder brother said angrily: "Shut up! You have no place to speak here!"

Shuwan is different from others, the angrier she is, the calmer she is.She clenched her fists, her eyes swept back and forth on Brother Fourteen's face.She wanted to slap Brother Fourteen very much, but this was not possible, the emperor was the most defensive, she could not do anything, even if she did it, she was justified and unreasonable.

She sniffed again, and smelled the faint smell of alcohol on Brother Fourteen, it seemed that he had eaten alcohol outside, and he was crazy to come here to drink.

The fourth elder brother was so angry that his hands shook, he pointed at the door and shouted at the fourteenth elder brother: "You! Get out of here!"

Brother Fourteen: "I won't leave! If you don't apologize to Er Niang, I won't leave!"

Shuwan walked to the table and slapped it hard, causing the teacup on the table to jump up.

Shuwan asked Fourteenth Brother in a cold voice, "Who are you? Whose order did you follow? Why do you teach me and Fourteenth Brother a lesson?"

Elder Fourteen was startled, he came back to his senses, and shouted, "You guys are unfilial, you deserve to be scolded!"

Shuwan sneered, "I have bad things, I have to be taught by my parents-in-law! Si elder brother has things that he can't do, and he should let the emperor and the concubine De concubine teach him a lesson. You are my younger brother and my uncle, so you dare Come scold me!

Hehe, you still have the face to scold us for being unfilial, if God strikes a thunderstorm, he should strike you first! "

Shuwan took a step forward and stood in front of Brother Fourteen, forcing him to take two steps back.

"If you talk about being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, you are No.1! Over the years, how did the fourth elder brother treat you? Has he ever treated you badly? You are a coward! A coward! When the fifth princess was wronged, why didn't you see me?" You go to Tong Jia's mansion to show off your power? Now you are bullying me and my brother, you are really excited!"

Shuwan put her hips on her hips, acting like a shrew, she spit on Brother Fourteen's face.

"Bah! It's useless! You've grown a head for nothing! That's your elder brother, and I'm your sister-in-law. I don't even know who you are, and what you've read all these years has been in the stomach of a dog! "

Shuwan saw a sword on the wall, pulled it out and threw it on the ground.

"Come on! Fourteenth elder brother is so majestic, come and kill me! If you don't kill me today, you won't be a man!"

Fourteenth brother has never seen a shrew swearing at the street, and he was so scared that he woke up from the wine.

The fourth elder brother was so frightened that he hurried over to stop Shuwan, "Okay, it's more than that, it won't be!"

The old fourteen was drunk and drunk, he is not sober now, if you are on fire at this time, if he really stabs you with a sword, it is not worth it.

The fourth elder brother put his arms around Shuwan's waist and dragged her back.Shuwan struggled to run forward, cursing.

"You bullying coward, today I will fight with you! I will risk my life, and I will show everyone that Brother Fourteen is amazing. He wants to force his own sister-in-law to death! I am dead! , even a ghost can't spare you!"

Shuwan's eyes were red and her hair was disheveled, as if she wanted to eat people.

The fourth elder brother saw that the fourteenth elder brother was still standing there in a daze, and scolded angrily: "Idiot! Don't hurry up and run! Your fourth sister-in-law has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and ten or so thick eunuchs can't get close to her, I can't stop it soon Already!"

Su Peisheng didn't care about his dignity, he grabbed Brother Fourteen by his sleeve and pushed him away.

"Brother Fourteen, go, if you don't go, it will be too late!"

Brother Fourteen didn't know what would happen if it was too late, he was pushed out in a daze.

Shuwan broke away from the fourth elder brother, picked up the sword on the ground and rushed out.

"Aren't you going to kill me? Why did you run away? I've washed my neck and stretched it out, so you did it!"

Brother Fourteen didn't dare to stay, he ran out in a panic, and the eunuchs around him couldn't keep up.

A strange scene appeared in the palace of Yongjun, the fourteenth elder brother was running in front, and Shuwan was chasing behind with a sword in his hand, shouting that the fourteenth elder brother should come and kill her.The fourth elder brother and many eunuchs chased after the two.

Fourteenth elder brother rushed out of the county palace, Shuwan stopped, threw away the sword, sat on the ground and began to pat her thigh and cry.

"I'm dead, my brother-in-law pointed at my nose and scolded me, and even killed me, what face do I have!"

The fourteenth elder brother's eunuch bypassed Shuwan and escaped after the master.

The fourth elder brother came to help Shuwan up, "Okay! Stop making trouble! You are like a shrew, don't be ashamed of yourself!"

Shuwan wiped away her tears, "I can't help it, Elder Fourteen drank too much, it doesn't make sense for you to reason with him. You nobles are omnipotent, but no one inside or outside the palace has ever dared to do anything." To make trouble in front of you, there is only a shrew in this world who can deal with a shrew, and I can only use this trick."

The fourth elder brother was covered with sweat, "Then you can't use a knife or a sword! What if he really picks up the sword and stabs you?"

"Based on my skills, I may not be able to beat him, but it's not a problem to avoid him." Shuwan said regretfully, "I really hope he stabs me with a sword, then I'm more reasonable."

The fourth elder brother helped her brush her hair, "Forget it, people have already driven away, you go back to your room to freshen up!"

Shuwan nodded, "I'll go back to wash and change clothes, you order someone to set up the car, and the two of us will go to the palace."

"It's not a big deal, it's not worth entering the palace, why bother the emperor's empress."

Shuwan glared at him, "No! You can't spoil him with this matter! You have to beat him up today, or he will make trouble when he gets drunk! I'm not a concubine, so whoever gets used to him!"

Shuwan told the fourth elder brother, "I will enter the palace, and after two quarters of an hour, you will go out and chase me. At that time, I will file a complaint, and you will stop me. One of us is a good person, and the other is a wicked person!"

Shuwan insisted on going to the palace to sue, and the fourth elder brother also agreed. He was tired of this younger brother, and he didn't like Shuwan being wronged.

"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you."

Shuwan went back to the house and made her eyes red with ginger.

Chun'er asked: "Fu Jin, how about we put on more powder, wear less jewelry, and paint a cute and pitiful look?"

"No! What it is like to enter the palace on weekdays is what it is like today. The concubine De has been in the palace for so long, and she has never seen any means. If she deliberately puts on a pitiful look, she won't like it. "

Chun'er dressed Shuwan luxuriously and dignifiedly, and Shuwan sat in the carriage, rehearsing her rhetoric after entering the palace.

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De was very surprised when she heard that Shuwan asked to see her.

"It's not too early or too late, what is she here for? Please come in!"

After Shuwan entered the room, she knelt on the ground respectfully and made a big salute.

Concubine De was surprised, "Get up quickly, you are so polite, how can you do such a great ceremony?"

With tears in her eyes, Shuwan straightened her back and knelt on the ground.

"Emiang, no, empress, I dare not call you Ernian again. My daughter-in-law has been married to the fourth elder brother for so many years, and she thinks she is filial and respectful to her. If the daughter-in-law does something wrong, Ernian will beat me and scold me. Yes, but my daughter-in-law can never bear other people's insults!"

Concubine De frowned, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I didn't blame you when you yelled in front of me in the past. I never sent someone to insult you!"

Concubine De thought for a while and said: "Oh, I understand. Is it the thing you said a few days ago that I was biased?"

Concubine De sighed, she reflected on herself, she was indeed a bit biased.

"That incident was a joke between our mothers. You said I was biased, but I didn't scold you. I even rewarded you with an incense burner. You got all the benefits. Why did you feel wronged?"

Shuwan burst into tears, "Just now, the fourteenth brother heard the rumors from somewhere. He came to the county palace, scolded me and the fourth elder brother regardless of right and wrong, and said that I was not filial to my mother.

All these years, how I have treated Er Niang, Er Niang, you are in your heart.It's just that my mouth is a little bit bad, but my heart is not bad. I treat you like my own mother and never talk to you.

I thought about it and didn't understand what was wrong.After much deliberation, I only said that you were biased a few days ago. "

Shuwan fell on the ground and cried: "Emiang, the fourteenth brother is my brother. He said I was ugly and my mouth was bad, but I didn't take it to heart. But he said I was not filial, how can I bear the crime?" Even my brother-in-law scolded me for being unfilial, and this reputation spread, how can I behave..."

Concubine De was so angry that her heart was beating wildly, she hurriedly asked the palace maid to help Shuwan up.

"Fourteen, this child is really worrying!"

Concubine De came over and took Shuwan's hand.

"Good boy, I know you've been wronged. This... Fourteen is still young and ignorant, so don't worry about it like him. When he comes back from outside, I will definitely clean him up and vent my anger on you!"

Shuwan is very dissatisfied with this statement. If it is now, teenage boys are indeed children, and it is time to rebel.But it's different here, Brother Fourteen is about to get married, and he is an adult.Children in the palace are precocious and know more than ordinary children.

The fourteenth elder brother obviously didn't pay attention to his brother and sister-in-law, thinking that the whole world was his mother-in-law, and everyone spoiled him.

Shuwan knew in her heart that Elder Fourteen drank too much and didn't have the heart to plan carefully.When he went to the county prince's mansion to make trouble, he didn't think about it at all.But he must know subconsciously that it is useless for him to get angry if he scolds fourth brother, and if he sues Concubine De, Concubine De will let her elder brother give way to her younger brother.

Concubine De must be reluctant to punish him, at most she would scold him a few words and copy some books, this kind of punishment is not painful or itchy.

Shuwan's tears fell one by one, and she said woodenly: "What Er Niang said is that the Fourteenth Brother is still a child."

Concubine De smiled, "Yes! He is ignorant, I will teach him, and such things will never happen again."

Shuwan shrank her shoulders, her eyes seemed to lose light.

"Daughter-in-law doesn't dare to think about the future. If you ask around the capital, whose uncle would point at his sister-in-law's nose and scold her? Is a sister-in-law who is scolded by my uncle a good thing? There are so many sister-in-laws, why does he just scold me? No Scolding others? A lot of words make money, and a pile of bones burns. I have no reputation, and I can't live anymore."

Concubine De's face turned pale with fright, and Concubine De had always looked energetic and optimistic, Concubine De had never seen her like this.

"My dear boy, don't be too foolish! You are good, everyone will see it, and I will help you speak up, so that no one can talk about you. There is room for change in everything, and it's not as serious as you think!"

Shuwan remained silent, and Concubine De was not sure what she meant.She kept calling for people to tell Fourteenth Elder Brother to enter the palace quickly and apologize to Shuwan.

Shuwan's maid remembered crying, but Chun'er wanted to go to Concubine Ladd's sleeve but didn't dare, so she tugged on Mammy's sleeve and asked her to go to the side to talk.

"Fu Jin has never been like this before. This incident has hit Fujin too hard. Anyone can say that Fujin is not good. The fourteenth brother is the younger brother of the fourth brother. These years, during festivals and birthdays, Fujin has carefully prepared gifts. How could he Can... well, I'm being rude, I shouldn't be talking about this.

In fact, Fujin entered the palace secretly. Before she cried and complained at home, the county king became impatient.The king of the county said that he was his biological younger brother. He was not clear-headed after drinking some wine, so it would not be a problem to say a few words.Fujin's complexion changed at that moment, he looked like a wooden man sitting on the carriage, as if he had lost all energy. "

Chun'er cried: "Mommy, please tell Empress Defei to think of a way! When I was young, there was a little daughter-in-law next door, and my in-laws said a few words. If I couldn't think about it for a while, I..."

"Shut up!" Mammy scolded, "You can talk nonsense!"

Mammy was also scared, she hurriedly dragged Defei to the side, and whispered something to her.Concubine De concubine looked at Chun'er, her face also turned pale.

It's hard to explain such things as being on the edge of a dead end. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.The women in this palace dare not kill themselves for fear of hurting their mother's family, but some concubines live too hard, are melancholy, lack energy, and live like walking corpses.Shuwan's current state is exactly the same as theirs.

Concubine De saw Shu Wansheng's loveless appearance, and didn't know how to persuade her.

At this moment, Emperor Xuande and Concubine Shuwan went to Qianqing Palace.

Concubine De was even more uncertain, did the emperor know so soon?What kind of ear report is this, how can the word be spread so quickly?
