Chapter four hundred and ninety-two, door-to-door exchange of provocations, forcibly suppressing
"Your Majesty, this is what happened to this mother-in-law. I hope you will forgive me." Mrs. Yu said with a guilty look on her face.
Mr. Xiang took a deep look at Mrs. Yu: "Since it is Mrs. Yu's wish, I will not pursue this matter for the time being, but a man should have sneaked into your house, dressed as a maid, and finally in
After stealing from the house, he left through the back door."
"Xiang Your Majesty, the Hou Mansion is in trouble, and Xuan'er is not here. As an old woman, I am helpless. I have sent many people outside to search and investigate, but there is nothing I can do. My mother-in-law is the person who is in charge of this matter.
Whenever there is some news, she will be sent to investigate."
Mrs. Yu closed her eyes in pain and breathed heavily.
Looking at her old appearance and the scar on her forehead, she said to the adults: "Mrs. Yu Tai, thank you for your trouble."
"It's not a matter of effort. This is what I promised Boyang at the beginning. He ended up...such an end at the border. I feel sad. Now there is only one heir left, Xuan'er. The entire Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is looking forward to his return.
, he can’t make any mistakes, otherwise... otherwise he will die hundreds of times and he will be guilty of it.”
After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, two cloudy tears fell from her eyes.
He sighed to the Lord and stood up: "Madam, I still have something to do, so I have to go check it out again."
"Excuse me, sir." Mrs. Yu turned sideways to hide the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Mr. Xiang came out of the house and looked at the messy yard, the government servants and the panicked servants he had brought with him. He suddenly felt very boring. Investigating the case, if the master was not willing to investigate further, he would
Why bother so much? I looked up at the sky and walked out.
"Sir, what should I do about the mother-in-law?" A government servant quickly ran over and asked.
"I'll check with the dozen or so people again. If there's nothing unusual, I'll let them go." He said to the adult, flicking his sleeves.
"Sir, that woman is suspicious." The yamen servant said in confusion. The woman's words did not match up with her words, and many places did not connect. It was obvious at a glance that there was something wrong.
"The lady in their residence said that there are some things that she cannot tell us clearly. She specially sent this woman to find the Crown Prince Zhengyuan Hou. As long as there are some clues, she will definitely check them out. Some of them have clues, and some of them don't.
In order to prevent danger to Crown Prince Zhengyuan Hou, I specifically asked her not to talk nonsense."
He sneered at the adults.
It was Mrs. Yu who had the accident, and it was Mrs. Yu who was beaten. However, it was also Mrs. Yu who stopped him from investigating the case. She clearly had something to hide from her, so how could Sir Xiang not understand it.
"Sir, what should we do now?" the officer asked.
"After a while, if nothing happens, I will release the person, and then secretly keep an eye on the woman. If something really happens to her, she will definitely leave the house again. After leaving the house, keep an eye on where she goes."
He sneered at the adults, no matter what Mrs. Yu thought, since this matter was in his territory, it was not Mrs. Yu's final decision.
Things have happened again and again, and no trace has been found. Not to mention Mr. Xiang, even the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are under increased pressure. They urgently need to solve a case and let the emperor know that these yamen that maintain public security are not just for free.
Compared to murder and assassination cases, this case is much less involved.
Check, you must check...
The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion was in chaos again, and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion next door welcomed the eldest princess of Minghe and the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother's reward was directly given to the Xuanping Hou Mansion. It was inconvenient for Yu Ruiwen to lie in bed, so Mrs. Zhou and the three girls welcomed the guests.
Princess Ming and the eldest daughter brought their granddaughter Xu Anjiao over. They sat down separately as guest and host, and the maid served tea and then left.
"Yu Xijiao, Prince Qi has a bad temper and behaves as he pleases. The Queen Mother has known about the incident of taking shelter from the rain that day and disturbing Miss Yu. She specially sent me to bring the jewelry as a reward."
Ming and the eldest princess looked Yu Xijiao up and down, then put down the tea cup in their hands.
"I dare not take it as a reward from the Queen Mother." Yu Xijiao stood up in a hurry.
"Since the Queen Mother has rewarded you, please thank me." Princess Ming and the eldest princess said softly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward." Yu Xijiao knelt down.
Princess Ming and the eldest princess waved their hands, and three palace ladies came forward, each holding a carved brocade box in their hands and placing it on the table in the middle.
Open the upper lid and exit each one.
Each carved brocade box contains a set of jewelry, a gorgeous necklace, an exquisite hairpin, and a Huasheng with a gold wire curtain. Each piece exudes extreme magnificence, and they are all jewelry that is only one in a thousand.
Then they saw Princess Minghe who had so many jewelry, and she couldn't help but admire them secretly.
This mission was specially requested by Ming and the eldest princess. They also knew that the Queen Mother's actions were extraordinary, but they did not expect it to be so extraordinary. For a moment, they thought of the way their granddaughter did not think about food and tea during this period. There was anger in her eyes. Originally, these should be all
What belonged to his granddaughter has now fallen into the hands of Yu Xijiao.
Seeing their granddaughter lowering her head sadly, Ming and the eldest princess became even more angry.
He coughed lowly: "Miss Yu, do you know why the Queen Mother wants to reward these jewelry?"
Yu Xijiao was helped to stand up at this time. She glanced at the jewelry on the table and shook her head: "I don't know, little girl."
"Look how many sisters you have in your house?" Princess Minghe asked calmly.
"There are three sisters in the little girl's house." Yu Xijiao didn't think this was anything to ask, but since Ming and the eldest princess asked, she just listened.
"Since the Queen Mother has rewarded three sets, and you have three sisters in your house, Miss Yu still doesn't understand the profound meaning of this?" Ming and the eldest princess asked with a smile, the expression on their faces looked much kinder, "The Queen Mother is always right
When I talk about Miss Yu San, she is not only a smart girl, but also dignified and decent."
Princess Ming and Dachang had something to say.
Yu Xijiao looked confused, blinked her watery eyes, and then said with a face full of emotion: "The Queen Mother is so complimentary."
Ming and the eldest princess felt that the girl in front of them was a bit stupid. She had already said it to this point and she still didn't understand it. She was outstanding, but her brain didn't work very well. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "Queen Mother
I don’t know if the Queen Mother is being complimentary, I just know that since the sisters are in harmony, this jewelry should belong to each of the sisters in your house, so that no one will say that the Queen Mother is partial.”
Sure enough, this is about allocating jewelry for myself.
Moreover, the name he used was the one he was willing to use. His eyes thoughtfully glanced at the chamberlain standing next to the eldest princess Minghe. This chamberlain was the person sent by the former empress dowager...
"My aunt is absolutely right." Yu Xijiao nodded and smiled.
"In that case, I will divide it for you. The most distinguished person in your family in the future will be the second girl. Naturally, the second girl has to be chosen first, then the third girl, and finally the eldest girl. Is that possible?" Princess Minghe said.
He pressed the handkerchief on the corner of his lips and said slowly.
A concubine of Prince Duan is weighing on the head of Prince Qi's concubine. Not only is it impossible, but it cannot be said that it is completely correct. It just depends on how others understand it.
The Queen Mother has always loved Feng Yu and favored him more than the other princes. Regardless of whether there is another meaning in this, at least on the surface that is the case.
If he admits it like this, it means that the concubine of King Rui is really higher than the crown prince of Qi. This is something he, the crown prince of Qi, personally admits. In turn, it means that Feng Yu is far inferior to Prince Duan and Feng Lanxiu.
, at most, he has the status of a guard beside him.
This is a humiliation and a slap in the face to the entire Prince Qi's palace.
If it gets serious, it will even affect the status of Prince Qi's palace in the country.
The first step was to suppress herself, and she also wanted to agree willingly. Yu Xijiao smiled, raised her head slightly, and said bluntly: "Auntie, this... I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"
The smile on Princess Minghe's face froze. She didn't expect Yu Xijiao to be so courageous. She looked at Yu Xijiao coldly. Yu Xijiao responded calmly, her smile as gentle and elegant as ever, neither humble nor overbearing.
The room suddenly became quiet. Xu Anjiao's eyes slid over Yu Xijiao's delicate and beautiful face, and a hint of ridicule curled on her lips. She was really overestimating her abilities.
"Yu Xijiao, what do you mean?" Princess Ming and the eldest daughter's expressions darkened before they finally spoke.
"Auntie, I feel that since these jewelry are a gift from the Queen Mother to my daughter, they should not be separated, otherwise I will not be able to live up to the Queen Mother's gift." Yu Xijiao's fingers were lightly drawn in the air, with a smile on her face.
With a bit of harmless playfulness and indifference.
"The Queen Mother specially rewarded three items." Ming and the eldest princess' words were almost squeezed out from between the teeth.
"Auntie, why did the Queen Mother reward you?" Yu Xijiao asked with a hint of astonishment on her face after thinking for a while.
"It's because of Prince Qi." Princess Ming and the eldest princess said one word at a time, their eyes falling on Yu Xijiao with pressure.
However, Yu Xijiao seemed to be unaware of anything and said: "Since it is the Queen Mother who rewards Prince Qi for being the crown prince, why should she give it to the second sister, the future concubine of Prince Duan? And let Prince Duan's concubine choose first, no?
Do you know if this is the Queen Mother’s intention or Prince Duan’s intention?”
Yu Xijiao blinked her beautiful eyes, and her smile became more and more innocent, "Although my daughter was born in the capital, she grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan places great importance on etiquette, and the Xie family is a century-old family. My grandmother once taught my daughter that royal etiquette cannot be wrong.
, if you make a mistake, don’t respond randomly, otherwise you will break the rules.”
The Xie family in Jiangnan is famous all over the world.
"Yu Xijiao, what are you talking about? My grandmother was kind enough to help you share the jewelry. How can she be so particular about it?" Upon hearing this, Xu Anjiao immediately knew something was wrong, and immediately stood up and accused angrily.
Ming and the eldest princess stared at Yu Xijiao with cold eyes without saying a word.
On the other hand, the chamberlain who was following Minghe and the eldest princess narrowed his eyes as he smiled.
"Is it my aunt who wants to make the decision for my little girl?" Yu Xijiao raised her head in surprise. After speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and stepped back, "If my aunt thinks that one of Prince Duan's concubines can suppress the crown prince's concubine,
On the other hand, the little girl has nothing to say, Ming and the eldest princess please do it."
These words completely destroyed Ming and the eldest princess's army, turning Yu Xijiao's "willingness" into Ming and the eldest princess's "forced distribution according to their own wishes"...
