As soon as Mrs. Zheng left, the courtyard of the study became quiet for a while, and the two brothers Ji Wei and Ji Xiang appeared out of nowhere and quietly entered the study.
Ji Xiang's face returned to normal when he saw them, and the saliva on his face was wiped clean. He acted as if nothing had happened before, glanced at his two sons and said, "Let your daughter-in-laws restrain themselves in the past few days." In the mansion, don't go out, and you don't go to banquets or anything like that."
The two sons responded, and Ji Wei bowed and asked, "Father, Hao'er made such a fuss in Chaoshang..."
"The thing has already happened, and it's useless to regret it. Misfortune comes with blessings. This matter may not be a disaster. It depends on what step the King of Yizhou has made."
Ji Xiang said in a low voice: "Father, last year because of Hao'er's demise, Tang Zhihe took the opportunity to take a lot of good land from various families and distribute it to the victims. Most of our family gave it away, and now we still have some in our hands. Check it out..."
Ji Xiang's face was a bit ugly, "I wrote a letter to the clan elders. The clan relatives who stayed in Yizhou were too careless in doing things. They shouldn't have meddled in the affairs of the victims in the first place. Fortunately, they donated most of them last year. Let’s donate the rest while the autumn harvest is over.”
Ji Wei: "I'm afraid some people won't."
Ji Xiang snorted coldly and said, "They can't do this, they are really stubborn, and then compensate them with some money."
Ji Xiang's hair was already gray, but now he's even more grey. His family has a big business, so it's not that easy.
Ji's father and son had an urgent discussion, and Mrs. Ji, who led Ji Hao back to the backyard, twisted Ji Hao's ears and patted him several times, then sat on the chair angrily and said, "Your mouth, this is a lesson in eating not enough?"
Ji Hao bowed his head honestly.
Mrs. Ji sighed when she saw it, and waved her hand: "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk about you, you can go back to the house and rest."
Ji Hao knelt in front of Mrs. Ji, grabbed her knees and raised his head and asked, "Grandma, will Zhou Man and the others have something to do?"
Mrs. Ji still likes that little girl Zhou Man very much. Hearing this, she sighed and said, "Who knows, but if what she told is true, the King of Yizhou will feel bad about it. She is also benevolent." Ren."
Ji Hao opened his mouth wide and asked in a low voice, "Can't grandfather protect her?"
"Him?" Mrs. Ji snorted coldly. It would be good if he didn't shrink back and be a bastard, but of course he couldn't say that about his grandfather in front of the children, so Mrs. Ji changed her rhetoric, "Your grandfather is even ashamed of himself." I can't care about it."
Ji Hao just sat on the ground, leaned on his grandmother's knee and said nothing.
Old Mr. Tang had just returned home from the palace, and his daughter-in-law had already led someone to greet him quickly. Ten steps away, he saluted and said, "Father, Mr. Wei is here. My daughter-in-law invited him to wait in the front hall."
Old Master Tang paused as he returned to his study, nodded and said, "Go and rest, I'll see him."
"yes."
After Mrs. Tang left, Mrs. Tang glanced at a servant behind her. It was her natal family's dowry, specially for her to run errands.
The little servant understood, and ran to chat with the old man's little servant, and at the same time a servant girl also followed.
Master Old Tang led Wei Zhi to the study room, the two of them closed the door and sat down, sighing in unison.
Old Master Tang asked Wei Zhi, "Is this what His Majesty meant?"
Wei knew: "If it wasn't for His Majesty's intention, I really don't understand why the two children would sue at this time."
He frowned and said, "But why?"
Seeing that Mr. Tang did not speak, Wei Zhi frowned, "Why, you know?"
Old Master Tang said: "When I entered the palace today, some of my subordinates said that there are private contacts with officials, and they want to mention the East Palace at the banquet."
Wei Zhi frowned and asked, "What's the matter in the East Palace? Isn't the East Palace very quiet recently?"
"How close is it recently?" Old Master Tang said: "The matter of Su Jian's fall from the horse has been settled in a daze, but the matter of the concubine's concubine in the East Palace has not been followed. I have inquired with Lao Feng, and he is also very complaining. It was found out, but His Majesty suppressed it, and he didn't want to close the case in a muddle-headed way, so this matter just stays there."
"It's considered private for the crown prince to kidnap the brothers of the Du family, but the courtiers don't admit it, let alone smashing the third prince's mansion." Old Master Tang shook his head and said: "Many people don't say it publicly. In private, I have doubts about Donggong, how can he be king in the future if he behaves so willfully and recklessly?"
Wei Zhi frowned, "Just for this?"
Old Master Tang shook his head and said: "I don't know much, I only know that someone wants to write a joint letter to the prince, but I don't know what it is. His Majesty obviously doesn't want the king of Yizhou to use the two princes as knives, so he moved ahead of time." Difficulty."
"That should be informed in advance, those two children are obviously unprepared..."
Old Master Tang had a different idea, "Looking at what Zhou Man is wearing, do you think they are unprepared?"
Wei Zhi frowned, and shook his head after a long time, "No, with Mrs. Liu's personality, she must not let Bai Shan sue on a day like today, and it is impossible for her not to know me."
Having said that, Wei Zhi looked up at Old Master Tang, and asked, "What's going on with the Xiang family in Dongxi Village?"
Old Master Tang held his forehead and said, "I don't know."
Wei Zhi looked suspicious, "You don't know?"
Old Master Tang became angry from embarrassment: "If I say I don't know, I just don't know. How can I know what that kid did?"
Wei Zhi withdrew his gaze.
The two of them sighed together again, and began to worry about tomorrow's court meeting.
Originally, they should take a rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...
But now that such a big incident broke out, it was impossible for Xiu Mu, and it would be good if he didn't die from exhaustion.
But at this time, the most tired one should be the queen.
Ever since the Queen Mother was sent back to the room, Princess Yizhou has been kneeling on the ground crying. Princess Yunfeng changed her clothes and was stopped by the Queen's people before reaching the main hall. When the Queen Mother came back, they knew what happened in the front hall. After what happened, she wanted to go to the front hall with a whip to find Zhou Man, but was stopped by the queen's people and took her down to rest.
The queen mother really had a headache and a heartache, and she couldn't take care of her at all. She sent the queen away under the pretext of resting, and began to send out her own people continuously.
After a lot of tossing, she didn't receive the news until it was dark. Her people couldn't even get out of the palace gate, and they were all caught or tripped. If it wasn't dark and the palace gate fell, she I'm afraid I don't even know.
In the harem, only the queen can have this ability.
So when the queen mother got angry, she called the queen to kneel in the palace. When the emperor finally finished seeing the people he should see and returned to the harem, Mingda, who had been waiting, ran over and said, "Father, go and save the queen mother, the queen mother!" She has been kneeling in the imperial grandmother's palace."
The emperor's complexion changed, he patted Ming Da's hand, and ordered Ming Da to be sent back to the palace to rest, and strode towards the Empress Dowager's Palace.
