[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Brother Fourteen ate a big bag of snacks, and almost cried after eating.

He smacked his mouth, savoring the sweetness of the pastries, and thinking about how he lived his life like this.

Now the daughter-in-law resents herself, he has not been at home for the past two years, and the children do not kiss him.Living at home is like living in a prison cell, and life becomes more and more boring.

Brother Fourteen thought to himself, after such a long time, the daughter-in-law should calm down, right?Why don't you go to the main courtyard tonight, have a good talk with her, and untie the knot in your heart.

There are pastries to pad his stomach, Brother Fourteen is not very hungry, he has no appetite at all after seeing the dinner delivered.Elder Fourteen ordered the dinner to be withdrawn, he changed his clothes and went directly to the main courtyard.

Fourteen Fujin was eating with the children, and the children quickly got up and saluted when Fourteen elder brother came.

Fourteen Fujin glanced at him and turned his head impatiently.

She asked the children to sit down and continue eating, "You, Ama, have eaten, and you are not allowed to be picky eaters when you eat yours."

Elder Fourteen also smiled and said: "Yes, I have eaten, you all eat slowly, don't worry."

Children are sensitive to the fact that something is wrong between their parents, but they can't control it and can only pretend not to know.

The children left after eating, and Fourteen Fujin ordered people to take away the leftovers, not even leaving a leaf of vegetables for Fourteenth Elder Brother.

"What are you doing here?" Fourteen Fujin asked coldly.

Brother Fourteen sighed, "It's been so many days, you should not be so angry! I came to admit my mistake, I was wrong, I only cared about myself and ignored you and the child, but..."

"No but!" Fourteen Fujin's eyes filled with tears, she shouted hoarsely, "No but, you have no heart, you are not human, for fame and fortune, you don't even want a wife and children."

Fourteen Fujin didn't want to expose her weakness in front of Fourteenth Elder Brother, but she still couldn't hold back, tears gushed out.

"We have been married for so many years. I have done housework for you and raised children for you. How have I ever done anything wrong to you? Why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to our children? You can hate me, but The children are your own flesh and blood, yet you have the heart to abandon them!"

Elder Fourteen explained: "You misunderstood me, I have made preparations, and I will not let you have any accidents. Besides, there is Er Niang in the capital, Fourth Brother will not take you as hostages."

"You put your hope on other people's soft-heartedness?" Fourteen Fujin found it unbelievable, "Forget it, stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"

It sounds like an excuse for your sophistry. She cried and scolded, things have already happened, and it doesn't help to talk about them.

Fourteenth elder brother sighed: "I know you are sad, I know I was wrong, I will never dare again in the future. Give me a chance and let me make up for you, okay?"

"Make it up?" Fourteen Fujin sneered, "Did you meet Eighth Brother's confidant today? If you make such a desperate effort, sooner or later, the whole family will go to prison with you. We are cowardly, but we can't bear such a situation." 'make up'!"

"You even know this?" Elder Fourteen said, "I'm bored at home, and finally someone came to see me, and I'll see you. Don't worry, I didn't promise him anything, I just said a few words and dismissed him." he's gone."

Fourteen Fujin looked at Fourteenth Elder Brother, seeing that he didn't look like a liar, he felt much relieved.

"It's better like this. I don't want to open my eyes and be locked up in a prison."

The fourteenth elder brother went to hold his wife's hand, "I have figured it out these days, the fourth brother can't use me anymore, he has my handle in his hand, as long as I dare to mess around, he will show evidence of my treason .

I don't expect great wealth in the future, I just hope that our family can be safe and happy. "

Fourteen Fujin looked at him sadly, if he had this kind of awareness long ago, how great would it be?It's too late to say this now, the pimple in her heart can't be smoothed out, they can't go back.

Fourteen Fujin broke away from Fourteenth Elder Brother's hand, "It's good if you can think like this, I won't make things difficult for you anymore, don't come to me if you have nothing to do, we two just don't bother each other, let's go our own way! "

Brother Fourteen was in a hurry, "Aren't you willing to forgive me?"

"It's late at night, you should go back."

Fourteenth Fujin kicked Fourteenth Brother out and stood outside the main courtyard. Fourteenth Brother sighed. It seems that the husband and wife can only do this in the future...

The current [-]th Fujin is like a frightened bird, and she can't feel at ease even if there is even a slight disturbance.

She made a special trip to the palace to tell Shuwan about He Zhuo.

Shuwan persuaded her to relax, He Zhuo was just carrying something to see Elder Fourteen, even if he was uneasy and kind, he couldn't do much in such a short time of visiting.

Shuwan said it was all right, Fourteen Fujin was relieved.She completely put aside this matter and went home with peace of mind, Shuwan picked up this matter and kept it in her heart.

He Zhuo was born as a Jinshi, very talented, he was very loyal to the eighth elder brother, when his daughter was taken into the eighth elder brother's mansion, and raised next to the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother was very kind to the child, and spoiled her like It's like a serious little master in the house.

Every move of He Zhuo is worthy of attention, Shuwan thought that when the fourth elder brother came back, she had to remind the fourth elder brother to send someone to watch He Zhuo.

While she was still thinking about something, Chun'er shouted chirpingly: "Empress, Empress, look who's coming!"

Shuwan was very dissatisfied when her thoughts were interrupted, "Chun'er, what are you arguing about!"

Chun'er ran in happily, and covered her mouth when she heard Shuwan yelling at her.

"The Queen Mother..."

Shuwan turned her head, "Who's here?"

Chun'er raised the curtain, and a beautiful woman walked in excitedly, knelt down and kowtowed to Shuwan.

"Slave Xia'er pays respects to master!"

Surprised and delighted, Shuwan jumped up to help Xia'er up, and looked up and down while holding her arm.

"How many years have we not seen each other?"

Xia'er laughed, her eyes became sore when she smiled, "It's been almost 20 years, and when I see the master again, the master is still as handsome as before."

Shuwan blushed a little, "I have wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, how can I have any charm! You didn't tell me when you came back, which shocked me. I still think, Chun'er has served me for so long, except when I was young. She's a bit off-the-wall and loves to joke around, but now she's a stable and gentle housekeeper, why is she bluffing again when she's fine, it turns out you're back!"

Chun'er smiled and said, "Mother, tell me, it's rare for me to bluff once, how good is it?"

Shuwan hurriedly said: "Okay, ok, terrific, blah blah, blah blah, croak!"

The three of them laughed together, Shuwan took Chun'er and Xia'er's hands, and led them to sit on the couch.

Chun'er and Xia'er didn't dare to sit down, so they finally moved two small stools and sat opposite Shuwan.

"Is your journey going smoothly when you come back from Jiangnan?" Shuwan asked, "I see that you look like a busy person. You entered the palace right after you entered the city, right?"

Xia'er nodded, "Everything went well on the way back. This servant is anxious to see you, and I don't care about your appearance, so I ask your empress to punish you."

Shuwan waved her hand, "There are not so many rules between us, are you tired? I'll let Chun'er arrange a place for you right now, you go take a shower, change your clothes, eat something and sleep, we can talk tomorrow if we have something to say. "

Xia'er hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is no rush to take a bath and change clothes, the servant has something important to tell you."

"what's up?"

"It's a long story, please listen to me slowly."

Chun'er poured Xia'er a cup of tea, and Xia'er took two sips to moisten her throat.

"The matter starts from the moment when the emperor ascended the throne. I know that the emperor is ecstatic. I think about such a great event, and I should also express my feelings. There are many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. I will find someone to invite scholars to write poems. , Select good poems and good words, and put them together in a booklet and present them to the emperor."

Shuwan smiled and nodded, Xia'er has really improved, and her flattering tricks are very good.

Xia'er said: "Usually this slave only deals with ladies and wives of various families, and doesn't know anything about scholars. This time I sent someone to write a collection of poems, and this slave found that the emperor's reputation among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River is not very good..."

Shuwan raised her eyebrows, "Is there such a thing?"

Xia'er smiled wryly and nodded, "At first, the slave didn't believe it, because the emperor had a good reputation among scholars before. If the reputation is not good, the slave has been in Jiangnan for so long, even though he doesn't deal with scholars, he should have heard something. the wind.

The servant felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to inquire deeply, and found out that these scholars heard the rumors from nowhere, and they even secretly propagated..."

"Promote what?"

Xia'er lowered her voice, as if she didn't dare to say it, "They preached that the emperor's throne came from a wrong path, and that the late emperor's death was something else, it was...he was poisoned to death."

Shuwan's heart skipped a beat. The late emperor's death was indeed due to poisoning, which was related to the royal family's face. Few people knew about the poisoning of the late emperor. How could this matter spread to the south of the Yangtze River?

Xia'er went on to say: "The rumors are getting worse and worse. The servant is really worried. He immediately ordered people to prepare his bags and hurried all the way back to the capital. I won't say anything about it. In a few days, the emperor will also receive a secret letter from the minister. , but I want to see the emperor and master, so I made this trip."

Shuwan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, this matter is really important, I will let the emperor pay attention."

She smiled again: "How is your life in Jiangnan? Do you still want to go back when you come back this time? Now I am the master and empress, and you are more honorable than before when you serve by my side."

Xia'er smiled and said: "Look at the orders of the master, if the master needs me, I will serve you here, if the master needs me to go back to Jiangnan to collect information, I will go back to Jiangnan."

Shuwan thought for a while, but couldn't make up her mind at the moment.

Jiangnan is rich and has many scholars. This is a very important place.Of course Shuwan hoped that Xia'er would stay there and watch over the fourth elder brother, but she couldn't bear Xia'er in her heart...

When she couldn't figure it out for a while, Shuwan stopped thinking about it, "You stay here first, and we'll talk about this in a few days."
