When the incident in Prince Xuan's Mansion broke out, only two or three of the concubines in the backyard were left, and the rest were sold off and killed with a stick.
This matter was carried out quietly, but no one who knew about it dared to say anything to the outside world. It was related to the dignity of the royal family. The concubine in the backyard actually had an affair with a man, and there were more than one. This made the royal family who always pay the most attention to the dignity of the royal family. How could the emperor endure it, thinking that his youngest son, whom he loved the most, had to endure such humiliation? If he hadn't happened upon him by chance, he would still have been hiding him!
Emperor Zongwen immediately ordered that all the concubines and maids in the backyard who were involved in the matter be killed with sticks, and the rest were sold.
There are only two or three people left. These two or three were begged by Mo Xuetong personally. Because of her poor health, the backyard was neglected, and she was willing to pick a few good ones and promote them as aunts. She will definitely do so in the future. Tighten the backyard, and nothing like this will happen again.
This plea took responsibility without any jealousy, and also took the initiative to ask for promotion to several concubine positions. It was very considerate of the overall situation and made Emperor Zong Wen's angry heart calm down a lot. Only then did he think of this My daughter-in-law is too young to know these twists and turns, and she is not in good health. Lao Ba also has too many concubines in the backyard.
Forget it, let’s take this opportunity to clean it all up!
Originally, Emperor Zongwen wanted to clean up all the people, but this time he ignored Lao Ba's objection and gave Lao Ba two more ladies from famous families, and they also became serious concubines. Lao Ba was a special prince, according to the rules There are also names for the second concubine and the fourth concubine. These are all able to be married to the royal family. As for the other wives and aunts, it is just casual. They don't need to be married to the royal family anyway, so no one cares about it.
But now Mo Xuetong has taken the initiative and wants to deal with everyone at once, but it is not very good and it is difficult to stop Youyou. The reason for this cannot be said, otherwise I will be talked about for the rest of my life. , but it’s the best idea to keep a few faces in front of her. It seems that the eighth daughter-in-law is not only generous, but also smart.
Another thing that satisfied Emperor Zongwen the most was that he was still blessed. Emperor Zongwen did not forget that the reason why Mo Xuetong came in so early was because his son was seriously injured at that time. The doctors were helpless and had no choice but to think of a happy occasion. This time, I didn't expect that it would be over in one fell swoop. Not to mention the great blessings, I was also destined to Lao Ba. Now that something like this happened, I knelt down to help cover it up.
Emperor Zongwen's anger subsided, and he thought that the eighth daughter-in-law was a good one!
In the end, this matter was based on the theme of someone plotting to kill Prince Xuan, and conspired with others through concubines. All the people involved were thrown into prison and disappeared silently. The rest were mainly rectified, and the other concubines in the backyard were put into prison. After they were sold, Mo Xuetong chose two more to be his concubines, which happened to make three with Aunt Qin, and they could be regarded as the real concubines of the palace.
Although there are no high-grade concubines like those on Dudian, fortunately among the other palaces, only Prince Chu's Palace has side concubines. This is still the case where the main concubine is crazy, so Prince Xuan's Palace does not have side concubines or concubines. Not being picky, at least I have a few concubines who are pretty attractive to me.

The two newly selected ones were Yun Ji who was promoted to Aunt Yun, and Wen Ji who was promoted to Aunt Wen.
The reason why these two were chosen was because they had fathers and brothers who were officials. Yunji's father was a sixth-rank imperial official. She was a concubine in the family. It was her father who sent his daughter to the palace, and the Queen Mother gave her a gift. She went to Prince Xuan's Mansion and made good friends with Feng Jueran. As for Aunt Wen, she was a legitimate daughter, but her eldest brother was only a seventh-grade county magistrate in a small county near the capital, so he was sent to Xuan without a name or status. The palace.
Now that the three aunts were confirmed in the mansion, Mo Xuetong also cleaned up the backyard and re-divided the courtyard. The two gates in front of the back door were also removed. The three aunts lived in the same courtyard and were divided into different groups. Some maids and women went over to wait on them, each telling them to abide by the rules in the backyard, otherwise no one would be able to protect them if something happened.
So many people died in the backyard, and all the other concubines were sold, leaving only the three of them. The rabbit died and the fox was sad. It was quite sad to think that although everyone had done some dirty tricks in the past, they were all gone at once. It was sad, and then thinking about the ruthlessness of their own prince, the three of them had no intention of fighting for a while, and they all stayed in the yard obediently.
Mo Xuetong only met them once, and did not ask them to come over every day to say hello. She only said that she would come over when something happened. She couldn't bear to see those people. Although she knew that Feng Juoran did not go to their place, she thought of them. As a person, I feel very comfortable in my heart.
Things were going on in Prince Xuan's Mansion, and the backyard was being cleaned up. People in the capital only chatted a few words, and then stopped paying attention, because all the students who took part in the scientific examinations had finished their exams, and that day the Gongyuan Academy In front of the door, there was a lot of traffic, and there was a swarm of cars and servants from various families coming to pick up people.
After taking the exam for so many days, you have to eat and drink. There are not many people who can really endure it without falling down from exhaustion. Most of these students are weak scholars who usually just read and write. , wherever they pass by, everyone is in dire straits.
"Brother, here, here!" Qin Yuxuan stared at the people coming out of the tribute courtyard with wide eyes. He waited until he saw Qin Yufeng, who looked tired, jumped up and shouted.
Qin Yufeng saw him, smiled slightly, came out of the team and turned to Qin Yuxuan.
"Brother, how did you do in the exam?" Qin Yuxuan couldn't wait any longer and squeezed over to lift the food basket in his hand, asking anxiously.
"It's not bad!" Qin Yufeng rubbed his forehead and held Qin Yuxuan's hand to get into the carriage. Qin Yuxuan also jumped in and put down the food basket in his hand, "Father said you must be very sleepy, so he asked you not to worry about it for now. Just doze off and I'll call you when you get to the end of the field."
"Hmm!" Qin Yufeng nodded and closed his eyes. He was really sleepy. Although he also paid attention to exercise on weekdays, he couldn't help but couldn't eat or sleep well these days. He turned his head and rubbed it. He rubbed his forehead without being polite, leaned on the couch on the side and dozed off.
Qin Yuxuan asked the carriage driver to start, and the carriage slowly squeezed out of the crowd and came to the door of Qin Mansion.
It didn't take long for them to arrive in front of the Qin Mansion. Qin Yuxuan woke up Qin Yufeng and asked someone to carry a food basket. He followed Qin Yufeng who had regained his energy a little and walked in. They first arrived at Mrs. Qin's yard. Not only was Mrs. Yu there, but also Qin Zheng was also there. After seeing the ceremony, Qin Zheng asked some academic questions. Qin Yufeng answered them one by one, making Qin Zheng nod his head and look at his son with relief.
He has always been very satisfied with his eldest son, but he was unwilling to enter the competition before, which gave him a headache. Now that he is finally willing to give it a try, he does not feel any dissatisfaction with his son. He is still very confident in his talent and learning. Although he is not said to be able to get into the first class, there should be no problem in getting on the list.
On this side, Qin Yufeng and his son were talking enthusiastically, but Mrs. Yu was a little absent-minded. Standing behind Mrs. Qin, she was constantly lifting her shoulders. The corner of her eye swept over the calm eldest son and the always jumpy second son. The son lowered his head sadly again, seemingly focused on his back, but in fact he had already wandered away from the world.
No one else in the room noticed anything unusual about her, but Qin Yufeng's eyes fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, and a trace of thought flashed in the corner of his eyes. Qin Zheng didn't talk to him much, knowing that he was very sleepy at this time, so he called someone. He came to serve him food and then asked him to go back to rest and sleep.
After all, such a big test is the most hurtful!
The fact that Qin Yufeng was able to stand up showed that he was in good physical condition and was doing well after regular exercise.
Qin Yufeng was not polite. After eating some food, he went to his yard to rest. However, Qin Yuxuan stayed and was scolded by Qin Zheng again, asking him to learn more from his brother. Of course, Qin Yuxuan also repeatedly said that he could learn martial arts. Of course, Qin Zheng also scolded him. The Qin family valued etiquette among poets and had always looked down upon people with a martial arts background.
But when I saw my youngest son drooping his head and being scolded listlessly, I felt that at least this kid wanted to make progress. He was not meant to study in the first place, and any further study would be in vain. I couldn't stand scolding him anymore, so I simply let him go back to the yard. After thinking about it, Qin Zheng said a few words to his mother and left because of something else. There were only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the yard.
"What happened today? Why is Feng'er not in high spirits when she comes back?" Mrs. Qin signaled Yushi to stop, turned her head and asked dissatisfiedly, Yushi hammered weakly, she was the one who felt the most.
"Maybe it was because I was thinking about Feng'er coming out last night and I went to bed late because I was happy, so I felt a little unwell at this time." Mrs. Yu hurriedly put away all her worries, turned around and said with a careful smile, this old lady is a shrewd person. , and the reputation of the family is the most important, so how dare you tell her about her affairs.
"Then rest more and think less about things that don't exist. After a while, let someone make some soup for Feng'er to drink. Feng'er is your son. Don't get involved in other people's affairs. You are our Qin family first. My daughter-in-law, and secondly the daughter of the Yu family." Mrs. Qin's face turned cold and she stared at the Yu family closely.
Mrs. Yu's heart felt cold after saying this, and she hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "Yes, mother, I have already asked someone to make a body-restoring soup. I will add more heat later to make the soup more fragrant. Wait until Maple When my son wakes up, I will send it to him."
Does the old lady know something? Otherwise, why would he hit her like this! Mrs. Qin was usually quite polite to her, but this time she was merciless, which meant that she had grasped something. Yu's face was a little pale, she bit her lip, with a forced smile on her face, and she didn't dare to let the old lady see it. out of her panic.
"That's the best. Feng'er is already so old. When the results are announced this time, you can focus on choosing a suitable wife for him. Several of you in the Yu family have bad intentions and are not worthy of Feng'er, so don't bother. Yes." Mrs. Qin looked at her seriously, then waved her hand after a while.
Nowadays, people from the Yu family are coming to Beijing one after another, and there are indeed several young ladies who are suitable for marriage. Yufeng's wife, Mrs. Chen, has hinted to the Yu family several times that the two families can become in-laws and have a better relationship with each other. Mrs. Yu has been tempted to support her. If her daughter-in-law was her niece, she would be more agreeable. But now looking at the old lady's attitude, she knew that there was no discussion, so she dared to bring it up. She just nodded her head. (To be continued)
