Ever since Bai Muxiao was invited to the palace banquet by the emperor, all the masters in the entire White House were a little uneasy, for fear that she would cause some trouble again. Finally, Bai Muxiao came back from the palace, but when asked what the emperor asked her to do, she only said that she had danced a dance, and after that she asked all kinds of questions.
In the end, Zhou and Yu could only comfort themselves by saying that since the emperor let Bai Muxiao back and did not convict him, it would not be a disaster. Zhou could only force Bai Muxiao to go back to his room and take care of himself. Read some "Women's Training", "Women's Commandments" and so on, and don't go out if you have nothing to do.
Until the early morning of the second day, the emperor's reward was suddenly issued to the White Mansion, which shocked the whole White Mansion. Since Dayu established the Dynasty, the White Mansion has completely declined. It has been a long time since such an honor. Everyone has a feeling as if they have passed away, almost thinking that time has turned back to the most prosperous moment of the Bai family decades ago, when the old man was still alive...
Seeing the boxes of rewards that almost filled the courtyard, Zhou's eyes were clouded with tears, and he did not expect that it was Bai Muxiao, the granddaughter, who brought back the glory of the White House. Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but reflect on herself: Did he neglect this eldest granddaughter too much
An old nanny graciously sent away the palace attendant who came to present the reward, muttering in her heart: The eldest girl is really not simple, she thought she had offended the emperor before, and she might not be able to turn around for the rest of her life. To please the emperor... It seems that the wind direction in this mansion is about to change again.
"Sister Xiao," Mrs. Zhou held Bai Muxiao's hand joyfully, smiling so that the wrinkles on her whole face were squeezed together, looking like a most kind grandmother, "It's a good thing that you have won the emperor's award. , why didn’t you tell grandma earlier?”
Bai Muxiao couldn't be more clear about the temperament of the Bai family, she sneered in her heart, but said humbly on the face: "Grandmother, granddaughter didn't expect the emperor to reward these..."
In fact, Bai Muxiao could more or less guess that some emperors would reward her, just like the sword dance at Fang Banquet last time, the emperor would reward her with gold, silver and jewels if he was happy, and beat her down if he was not happy Muddy... This world is like this, she can only stand up step by step and become a master, so that she will not be bullied.
Yu's heart was extremely unwilling, she didn't expect that the mud would stick to the wall again, stealing the limelight from her daughter Bai Muyan. And Bai Muyan at the side looked at the boxes of good things, her eyes almost turned red, and she pulled La Yushi's sleeve unwillingly.
Mrs. Yu gave her daughter a comforting look, thinking of what the servant said just now, her eyes rolled around, and she said regretfully: "Sister Xiao, it's rare that the emperor treats you so favorably, what do you want? , why did you miss this great opportunity...you just asked for Zhang Jinxin's post!" Yu felt that Bai Muxiao was really stupid, her brain was knocked out, and she didn't try to get a side concubine for this great opportunity. What kind of Jinxin meeting did you actually participate in!
When Mrs. Yu said this, Mrs. Zhou also felt a bit of a pity, but now that the deal is done, so what can be done! Anyway, Sister Xiao has made a big face for their Baifu this time.
What's the meaning of this reluctant concubine position... Bai Muxiao casually glanced at Mrs. Yu, with a trace of contempt hidden in her eyes. If it was a normal day, she would never let Yu Shi go so easily, but the future is long, and for her plan, she still has to let Yu Shi play around for a few days.
Bai Muxiao smiled faintly, and said warmly: "Grandmother, Second Aunt, the Emperor's kindness, rewarded Xiao'er with so many things, and Xiao'er doesn't need so much, Xiao'er thinks it's better to give half to the second younger sister."
Bai Muyan and Yu Shi couldn't believe their ears, they looked at Bai Muxiao in shock. Bai Muyan is joy, this imperial gift is the best thing, whether it is worn now or used as a dowry in the future, it will have a long face!
But Yu's heart was a little bit suspicious. The relationship between her and Bai Muxiao was definitely not harmonious, and it would not be too much to say that they were at odds. What is Bai Muxiao's intention now that she is so close and kind to her daughter Bai Muyan suddenly
Could it be that Bai Muxiao really learned the lesson from last time and learned to be good? Did he dare not challenge himself and did it right
The Zhou family was even more satisfied looking at Bai Muxiao. Although the granddaughter and the second granddaughter occasionally had some disagreements on weekdays, they still remembered their sisters at critical moments. Zhou nodded again and again: "Sister Xiao, good! Grandmother is not very pleased that you have such a distraction." She called Bai Muyan over as well, and held Bai Muyan's hand with her other hand, "You two are always sisters in your own family, and you will help each other in the future."
"Thank you grandma for your teaching." Bai Muxiao and Bai Muyan bowed their knees and bowed in unison. They looked like sisters in harmony, which also made Zhou smile even more heartily.
A gleam flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Grandmother, Jin Xinhui is coming soon, and Xiao'er plans to go to Jialan Temple to pray for blessings in a few days. I heard that although this Jialan Temple is not as famous as Baima Temple and other famous temples, it is better to pray for blessings." It is very effective, and it has another name of 'Zhuangyuan Temple'... "
The Temple of the Number One Scholar? Zhou's intentions were moved, and Bai Muxiao went to the Jinxinhui just to earn a top prize in the female middle school.
Bai Muxiao saw that Zhou's face was loose, and continued: "I heard that since the previous dynasty, there have been several champions who won the champion and went to Jialan Temple to fulfill their vows... By the way," she seemed to think of something, "Remember when the first emperor, Liu Qinghe , Master Wang Lianyu is also the champion of the Jialan Temple." As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Bai Muyan, only to see that the other party's eyes lit up when she heard the name "Wang Lianyu" as she expected, showing a trace of love. interest.
Wang Lianyu is very famous among the folks, and what is widely praised is how he and his wife achieved a fairy couple. Even folk dramas often use him as the protagonist. And Bai Muyan has always loved this kind of love drama similar to "The Romance of the West Chamber". Naturally, she is familiar with Wang Lianyu's story, and she wholeheartedly dreams that she can also meet a talented man like Wang Lianyu...
Bai Muyan's eyes showed yearning, she coquettishly took Zhou's hand and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, Yan'er also wants to go with big sister!"
Jialan Temple... Mrs. Yu was about to stop her, but Mrs. Zhou, who was in a good mood today, readily agreed before her: "Okay, go, go! Let your mother take you and your eldest sister together."
Mrs. Zhou made a final decision, even if Mrs. Yu was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it.
The corners of Bai Muxiao's lips raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
Leaving aside the matter of the Bai family, at this moment in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Nangong Yue had a late sleep today and just got up not long ago, and she was sitting in front of the dressing table in a good mood to dress herself up.
She didn't plan to go out today, so she wasn't in a hurry, so she simply dismissed Baihui Lily and dressed herself up slowly.
She picked out a rose-colored makeup beanie for herself. The gorgeous color made her complexion like jade, and she looked radiant. It can be said that people are more delicate than flowers.
With a smile on her lips, she tied a Chaoyunjinxiang bun for herself, matched the color of her bedding, and inserted a silver-gilt filigree inlaid with rubies and flower-shaped hairpins, and pasted rose-colored flowers on the center of her eyebrows. .
Looking at her radiant face in the bronze mirror, Nangong Yue couldn't help but think of a sentence: "A woman is the face of someone who pleases herself", and the smile in her eyes grew stronger.
At this moment, after Xiao Yi hastily dealt with some trivial matters in the front yard, he couldn't wait to go back to Fufengyuan, opened the bead curtain and walked in. Seeing Nangongyue's gorgeous attire, his eyes lit up and he smiled. Said: "Huh? Which girl is this pretty? Could it be that this son went to the wrong door?"
Nangong Yue turned her head to look at him, sighed intentionally, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the son of Prince Zhennan is handsome, handsome and suave. He is loved by everyone in southern Xinjiang. He is an eighty-year-old old lady and down to three years old. Children, all of them are overwhelmed by the peerless beauty of the son..."
The more Xiao Yi heard it, the bigger the smile on his face, he proudly puffed out his chest, look, how much the stinky girl admires him, and even remembers every word he said firmly.
Smiling, he squeezed the small round stool with Nangong Yue, let her sit on his lap, put his arm around her slender waist, and boasted cheekily: "Stinky girl, since you know how lucky you are , from now on, you should treat me better!" He looked at Nangong Yue in the mirror, and said with a smile on his face, "You look good, you look good in anything you wear!"
When he spoke, the hot air sprayed on Nangong Yue's white ears, causing her to move uneasily, her face became hot, and even the roots of her ears turned red, but she pretended to be indifferent.
Seeing that the blush was about to spread to her cheeks, there was a sound of light footsteps coming from outside, and Thrush cautiously called out from the other side of the curtain: "Shizifei..."
Nangong Yue cleared her throat and asked, "Thrush, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yi was secretly annoyed, thinking that this thrush really doesn't know how to wink, can't he be alone with the stinky girl if he doesn't see him
Huamei didn't know Xiao Yi's thoughts, she paused for a moment, and said: "Concubine Shizi, Sister Yimei is here." Her tone sounded a little stiff.
Nangong Yue frowned, feeling a bad premonition faintly in her heart.
On weekdays, if Yimei came to the palace to see her, she would usually order someone to deliver the news a day or two in advance, but today it happened so suddenly...
"Smelly girl, go get busy." Although Xiao Yi said so, he still hugged Nangong Yue's waist and did not let go.
Nangong Yue could only raise her voice and said to Huamei: "Humei, let Yimei meet me in the small study."
"Yes, Shi Zifei." Hua Mei hurriedly left again, sending a message.
After the sound of the thrush's footsteps went away, Xiao Yi finally let go of Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue's face was still blushing, and after adjusting her clothes, she left the inner room and took Baihui Lily to the small study.
She had just walked to an armchair by the window and sat down when she saw Huamei lift the curtain and Yimei walked into the room slowly. Nangong Yue was afraid that her premonition would come true.
After Yimei saluted Nangong Yue respectfully, she sat down on the footstool following Nangong Yue's instructions.
Yimei lowered her eyes slightly, she didn't speak for a while, and Nangong Yue didn't rush her.
"Shi Zifei," Yimei took a deep breath, and finally raised her eyes, "I am here this time to ask Shi Zifei to be the master of my slave..."
Nangong Yue looked deeply at Yimei, felt her heart throbbing, and said in a deep voice: "Yimei, tell me. As I said, I will always make decisions for you." Although she didn't expect such a thing in her heart. the day comes...
A flash of determination flashed in Yimei's eyes, and she said slowly: "Concubine Shizi, the mother-in-law of the slave girl said yesterday that she would be the master and take concubines for him, and she has already decided on a candidate, saying that she is the daughter of their former neighbor, and she directly took her as a concubine. She sent it to the servant and asked her to kneel down and offer tea to the servant..."
Nangong Yue's face sank like water, "Did you take it?"
Yimei hurriedly shook her head and said: "Naturally there are no servants."
Finally, Yimei knew what she knew... Nangong Yue calmed down, she was afraid that Yimei would get confused, and some things were Yimei's family affairs after all, if Yimei couldn't keep herself on her own, even if she wanted to help, she would have no way to do it.
Yimei's in-law's family is Nangong Yue's accompanying room, and the whole family's deeds are in Nangong Yue's hands. As long as she speaks a word, Yimei's in-law's family will not even think about taking concubines!
Nangong Yue comforted her softly: "Yimei, don't worry, I will immediately order Baihe to call your mother-in-law and the man, I will not allow your man to take a concubine."
Who would have thought that Yimei gritted her teeth, as if she had made a very big decision, and said slowly: "No, Shizi Concubine, this servant wants to reconcile!"
There was a muffled sound outside the curtain, followed by a low cry of pain, obviously someone was eavesdropping outside.
"Come in, you two!"
Nangong Yue rubbed the center of her eyebrows and said, followed Baihe and Huamei to walk in blushingly, her chin was red and swollen, and Baihe looked apologetic, she should be the culprit.
Huamei looked at Yimei embarrassedly and said: "Sister Yimei, I didn't mean to eavesdrop." They were just really worried about Yimei.
Yimei forced a smile, "Humei, don't worry about it." She also knows how much Huamei cares for her... Anyway, everyone will know about it sooner or later.
Huamei bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Sister Yimei, could it be that brother-in-law... he also agreed?" Well, they would reluctantly propose a divorce.
Thinking about it, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She has always respected her brother-in-law, but she did not expect...
Nangong Yue stared at Yimei for a moment, then asked, "Yimei, are you sure?"
Yimei nodded firmly: "Concubine Shizi, I have been thinking about it all night, and I have made up my mind."
"Okay." Nangong Yue didn't say much anymore, and ordered Baihe decisively, "I will serve you with pen and ink!"
Thrush subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold Lily, but soon let go. After all, this is sister Yimei's own choice.
Lily prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone skillfully, and helped sharpen the ink.
"Yimei..." Nangong Yue looked at Yimei and said, "If you have made up your mind, then write this and Li Shu by yourself."
Yimei nodded, walked to the desk, picked up the Langhao brush, stared at the rice paper on the desk, took a deep breath, then leaned over, and began to write with a firm expression.
Her handwriting is beautiful and correct, and every word is written and finished neatly and decisively, but there is a deep sadness...
Huamei watched from the sidelines, her heart ached and her heart ached. Sister Yimei is the most gentle person, she can even be said to be a bit soft-tempered, she must have been bruised all over her body for being so absolute.
At this time, Yimei finally wrote the document of reconciliation and departure, and wrote her name carefully with her own hands. She gently put down the Langhao pen in her hand, picked up the document of reconciliation and departure, looked at it, and a twitch appeared at the corner of her mouth. Smiling, but with tears in the smile, she looked at Nangong Yue and said, "Concubine Shizi, the servant girl has already written it."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and didn't look at the reconciliation document, but said to Baihe and Huamei: "Lily, Thrush, you two take this reconciliation document to Yimei's house and ask Zou Lin to sign it." Zou Linzheng It is the taboo name of Mrs. Yimei.
Baihe and Huamei left at the sound, and after a while, they left the palace quickly in a green-covered carriage and arrived at Zou's house.
Yimei's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lei, saw Lily and Thrush coming, and flatteringly welcomed them in.
The two of Baihe didn't want to say anything more to the old godly woman, so they asked her to invite Zou Lin over. Mrs. Lei felt that Lily and Lily seemed to come if they were not kind, but they were sent by the master, so they could only accept them.
After a while, Zou Lin hurried over, his upright face full of anxiety. He didn't see his wife early in the morning, and he was very worried, but his mother said that his wife was just putting on airs and asked him to air her...
"Thrush..."
Zou Lin was about to ask about Yimei, but was interrupted by Thrush, with a trace of disgust in his eyes, he said: "Brother Zou, sister Yimei entrusted us to give it to you." She handed the reconciliation letter to Zou Lin.
In the past, Huamei always called him brother-in-law, Zou Lin sensitively felt that something was wrong, and took the document with a trembling hand.
The Mrs. Lei on the side frowned, feeling that this daughter-in-law really didn't know what to do, she had tolerated her for long enough, and she still wanted to use the master's family to suppress her mother-in-law! It's really unfilial!
Zou Lin took a deep breath, slowly opened the document, and stood there in a daze, with ringing in his ears. How... how could this happen
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lei asked worriedly, and while taking the paperwork from her son, her eyes widened in disbelief.
I saw that it was written on the paper--
Gai said that the relationship between husband and wife is deep and righteous; when talking about the cause of being together, the vows are far away. As for the reason for a couple, the three lives in the previous life were married, and then they are married to the couple in this life; if there is resentment for three years, there will be enmity. I'm not at peace now, I think it's a grudge from the previous life. Resentment arises from enemies, envy grows as offspring, fate fails, seeing this separation. Since two minds are different, it is difficult to return to one mind, and I will meet with my relatives soon, and each will return to the original way.
I hope that after my husband is separated, I will re-elect a good wife, and play in front of the court. Resolve grievances and knots, let alone hate each other. One is different and two are wide, each is happy.
Finally, the date and signature.
"This... this is..." Mrs. Lei stammered, unable to complete her sentence. How dare Yimei... how dare she write this! It's going to turn the world upside down!
Lily finished the sentence for her kindly: "This is the reconciliation document."
Huamei said: "Brother Zou, as long as you sign your name and press your fingerprint, we will leave."
Zou Lin seemed to have never heard of it, but Mrs. Lei said unconvinced: "Where is Yimei? I want to talk to her... Even if we have to write and leave the book, it is written by our old Zou's family! It is obvious that Yimei cannot be born. , and even stopped my son from taking a concubine, how could she just reconcile if she said reconciliation, even if she really wanted to leave, it should be our family who divorced his wife." , In fact, it means that the two families do not want to completely tear their faces because of a divorce letter. Since ancient times, men have written and divorced letters to their wives. How can it be reversed!
"Mom, stop talking!"
Zou Lin interrupted Mrs. Lei suddenly with a loud voice, which made Mrs. Lei stunned for a moment, and then she sat down on the ground and cried: "The son I raised so hard has a wife and doesn't want a mother. Talk to my old lady! Why am I so miserable!"
Lily was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine how such a top-notch mother-in-law, Yimei, survived all these years.
On weekdays, Zou Lin naturally wanted to coax Mrs. Lei, but at this time, he couldn't care less, and hurriedly said to Huamei: "Sister Huamei, where is Sister Yimei? I have something to say to her." Say... I, I don't agree with Heli!"
Huamei shook her head coldly and said, "Sister Yimei has nothing to say to you. Brother Zou, you should sign soon."
"Brother Zou?" Bai He raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "You're going to hire another woman to give birth to your son. Isn't it in line with your wish that Sister Yimei is willing to abdicate for the virtuous?"
Zou Lin blushed instantly, and explained: "Lily, I only have Yimei in my heart... It's just that my mother wants a grandson..."
Lily sneered disdainfully: "How can there be the best of both worlds? Brother Zou, don't you still want to enjoy the beauty of being equal? Since you are filial, you quickly signed the paperwork. From then on, marriage between men and women is irrelevant! You can naturally find more How many women will give birth to you, and you can give birth to as many as you want!"
Zou Lin was so embarrassed by Bai He's words that he almost didn't dare to look directly at her, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
How could Mrs. Lei want to see her son being scolded like this? She stood up neatly, lifted her chin and said, "What are you talking about, girl! Yimei married into the Zou family for several years, but she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter Yes, for the sake of the Zou family's incense, I am looking for a viable child to carry on the Zou family's lineage, is this wrong?... Even when it comes to the Shizi Concubine, I am justified."
Huamei took a deep breath, and felt that there was no need to reason with this kind of old godmother. How can a man and a mad dog reason
Seeing that Huamei's expression became calmer, Mrs. Lei thought that Huamei had been moved by her words, so she rolled her eyes and said softly: "Humei, I just want to hug a grandson, and I never thought of driving away my grandson." Mei. Yimei is also the one I grew up watching. No matter whether she can give birth or not, she is the daughter-in-law of our old Zou family. This matter is actually very simple, as long as you take a concubine and leave a queen for the Zou family, He will be Yimei's son from now on." After a pause, she continued, "Thrush, I know you have a good relationship with Yimei, so you should go back and persuade Yimei, it's not about Li, it's not women who suffer , not to mention that Yimei will be out of work soon, and if she wants to find a good family in the future, it will not be easy... "
There is no errand... Huamei and Baihe were startled, looked at each other, and Lily asked: "How do you know that Yimei is going to have no errand?"
Mrs. Lei said triumphantly: "The news that the imperial concubine is going to sell 'Huayan' has spread, and no one in the capital knows about it!" Face, the annual dividends are also quite a lot, but once this great job is gone, it will be very different!
That's it! Thrush and Lily understood in an instant.
No wonder Mrs. Lei suddenly forced Yimei so forcefully. It turned out that she thought that Yimei was about to lose her job, and wanted to use this to hold Yimei and force Yimei to submit obediently. As for Zou Lin, he just listened to his mother. Mrs. Lei would do whatever she said. If Yimei continued to follow him for such a man without his own opinions, she would suffer in the future.
This time, Yimei's attitude will be so firm, presumably because of this.
How can a person live a smooth life, Zou Lin is weak and filial, and Mrs. Lei tramples on the highs and lows, how can she promise her life!
Huamei gathered herself together, and said coldly: "We came here at the order of the imperial concubine, and we must not return empty-handed. You should sign quickly, so as not to anger the imperial concubine!"
Princess of the World?! Mrs. Lei turned pale with fright, but secretly hated her in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Yimei was determined to reconcile and leave, and she even asked the concubine Shizi to come forward!
This concubine has the contract of their family in her hand.
The more Mrs. Lei thought about it, the more she panicked. Yimei was just a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and her son could find a better one. There's no point in offending the Crown Princess just because of Yimei.
Mrs. Lei hurriedly handed the reconciliation document to Zou Lin and said, "Son, since she is determined to leave, if she can keep her people but not her heart, you should be obedient and sign."
"Mother..." Zou Lin looked at Mrs. Lei in disbelief, with a painful expression...
After a stick of incense, Baihe and Huamei left Zou's house with He Liwenshu and returned to the palace.
In the small study, not only Nangong Yue was there, An Niang was also by Yimei's side, looking at her with heartache.
After Baihe and Huamei saluted, they told Nangong Yue everything that happened in Zou's house, and then showed her the document of reconciliation.
Nangong Yue's face sank like water, she really didn't expect that the cause of this incident would be because she was pretending to sell her "beautiful face", and her human nature was exposed naked/nakedly in one scene. Nangong Yue gave Yimei a complicated look, but Yimei still wanted to hide it from herself.
Yimei smiled bitterly, and said: "Concubine Shizi, I should thank you concubine Shizi. I remember that concubine Shizi told me before that if the wound festers, you must cut the wound open and remove the pus. The water is released, and the wound will gradually heal."
Yimei could think so clearly, even Nangong Yue was somewhat surprised.
Soft on the outside and strong on the inside, it probably means Yimei.
"Later, you go to Zou's house and bring back Yimei's things and dowry." Nangong Yue ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Shi Zifei." Huamei replied loudly. Sister Yimei got married, and the concubine Shi Zi gave a lot of good things, so the Zou family couldn't be taken advantage of.
Baihe and Huamei retreated again, followed Nangong Yue and said, "Yimei, you should live in the palace for the time being."
An Niang hurriedly echoed: "The concubine Shizi is right, let Yimei live with the servant."
Yimei and Anniang looked at each other, and responded with blessings: "Thank you, Princess Concubine. That servant will be disrespectful."
After asking Anniang to send Yimei away, Nangong Yue waved away Baihui Lily, and left alone in the small study, with a heavy heart, and many pictures of the past appeared in her mind...
After all, Yimei has reached this inevitable step!
"Meow--"
The familiar cry suddenly reached her ears, Nangong Yue looked down, only to find that Xiao Yi and Xiaobai "two cats" were looking at her with their heads tilted.
Xiao Yi forcefully pushed the kitten into her arms, his slightly rude movements made Xiao Bai let out a slightly aggrieved cry: "Meow--" the nails hidden in his paws were ready to go.
Nangong Yue touched the top of Xiaobai's head, it narrowed its eyes in comfort, and retracted its paws.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi said aggrievedly: "Smelly girl, you are biased!"
Nangong Yue's face was full of black lines, and she touched the top of his hair perfunctorily: "Good boy!"
Xiao Yi cooperatively rubbed his head against her palm, but squeezed Xiao Bai, who let out a shrill cry: "Meow!"
Xiaobai struggled to squeeze out from between the two, jumped onto the window sill briskly, and looked at the two entangled common people with contempt.
I've been tired of crooked all day recently! I don't want to play with it anymore!
Xiaobai flicked his head, jumped off the window sill, and walked proudly on the catwalk.
In order to let Yimei relax, Nangong Yue decided to close "Hua Yan" temporarily, and this seemed to confirm the rumor that she was going to sell "Hua Yan". Word of mouth spread, and within a few days, it finally reached the palace...
The queen heard about it from her mother, Mrs. En Guogong. After thinking about it for a while, she joked about the emperor coming to her palace for dinner.
"...Your Majesty, look at how such a rumor spread in this well-behaved capital, A Yi, this dignified son, has reached the point where he wants to sell his wife's dowry."
