"But one year, for some unknown reason, my father became furious and threw his mother into the cold palace, and even wanted to depose her. However, she was remonstrated by all the civil and military officials and sent back. At that time, I didn't even begin to remember." Princess Huaiqing said helplessly:

"Although my mother came out of the cold palace the next year, my father never went to my mother's palace again. Because of this, the fourth emperor brother was left out. And I have not been liked by my father since I was born.

"Concubine Chen is actually a very jealous and petty person. Even though the eldest prince was later granted the title of prince, she was still worried and was always hostile to me and the fourth prince brother.

"This is not my narrow-mindedness. Do you know why Lin'an doesn't deal with me?"

Xu Qian's heart moved: "Did Concubine Chen instigate it?"

Huaiqing nodded slowly: "Lin'an was deeply favored by my father and he indulged her in every possible way. In the first few years, Concubine Chen was worried that the prince's status would be unstable, so she often encouraged Lin'an to stir up trouble and make things difficult for me."

Poor Lin'an, you must have been bullied miserably. Even though it was Lin'an who started the trouble, Xu Qi'an still felt sorry for Lin'an. It's not that he prefers framed clothes. The palms and backs of the hands of the older wife and the younger wife are full of flesh.

I just feel that with my rank, I will be bullied to death by Huaiqing.

On second thought, this may be what Concubine Chen wants. The more she understands her daughter, the more she can be provoked. Only then can the effect be achieved.

Just imagine, Emperor Yuan Jing dotes on Lin'an, but is repeatedly bullied by Huaiqing. How can Emperor Yuan Jing not hate Huaiqing?

"What is your Majesty's reason for deposing the queen?" Xu Qian asked.

"There is no reason, so I was rebuked by the officials." Huaiqing shook his head.

The abolition of a queen is the same as the abolition of a prince. It is not only the emperor's family matter, but also a national matter. The scholar-bureaucrat class cannot easily divorce their wives, let alone the empress, whose mother honors the world.

There is no reason why the civil and military officials could agree to Emperor Yuan Jing's dethronement.

However, if there is no reason, Emperor Yuan Jing will suddenly become furious and want to depose the queen?

There must be a hidden secret behind this.

"When did this happen in Yuanjing?" After Xu Qian asked, he felt that he was too gossipy and added:

"It may be related to the case of Concubine Fu. No, I have no intention of doubting the Empress."

Princess Huaiqing glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "If you are curious, just ask directly. There are so many reasons."

Xu Qian was a little embarrassed.

"The thirteenth year of Yuanjing." Huaiqing withdrew his gaze, looked into the distance, and said, "As for the reason, I don't know. Even if I asked my mother many times later, she didn't answer."

In the thirteenth year of Yuanjing, Xu Qi'an was somewhat familiar and nodded: "Thank you, Princess, for telling me."

He originally thought that Emperor Yuan Jing did not appoint the fourth prince because the prince was dull, but now it seems that there is a deeper reason behind it.

Yes, although the prince is not particularly shrewd, how can the fourth prince be any better? Well, we cannot rule out the possibility that the fourth prince is hiding his clumsiness. Ask Wei Gong later. With his vicious eyes, what did he say about the fourth prince?

how.

After walking a few steps, Huaiqing suddenly said: "Why did you end it in such a hurry today? With your ability, you won't have to go home and "think it over."

Xu Qian felt that Huaiqing was more honest with him and he should also be more honest, which would help maintain a good relationship.

"Jin Zhi just wants to delay time." Xu Qian said.

"Delaying time?" Huaiqing frowned.

"Yes," Xu Qian said helplessly, smelling the eldest princess's faint body fragrance:

"Bizhi offended too many people in the Sangbo case and the Yunzhou case, and His Majesty didn't like me either. He originally planned to make me a Viscount. But it was canceled due to Bizhi's resurrection.

"Later, His Majesty promised that as long as he investigated Concubine Fu's case carefully, he would re-title me as the Prince of Changle County."

It's so hard for me.

"Do you think my father will break his promise?" Princess Huaiqing agreed: "This is a good plan. If you don't get a title for one day, you will delay it for one day."

Xu Qi'an glanced at her unexpectedly, as expected of Wei Yuan, these thoughts were very synchronized.

The so-called Jun Wu Xiyan does not mean that the emperor will not lie, but it describes the national policies and imperial edicts issued by the emperor.

Therefore, if Emperor Yuan Jing did not grant a title for a day, Xu Qi'an would delay it for a day, lest the Dog Emperor's words would be ignored.

"It's getting late, I have to go back to my hometown first." Xu Qian looked at the sky and realized that if he could go back to his hometown now, he could still catch lunch.

"Yeah." Huaiqing nodded.

On the other side is the palace of Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.

Half an hour before lunch, Emperor Yuan Jing returned to his palace after finishing his meditation. His companion ran in happily and said with a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty, there has been significant progress in the case of Concubine Fu. There has been significant progress."

Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned, immediately put on a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Say."

The old eunuch relayed the information reported by the young eunuch to Emperor Yuan Jing word for word, and the latter listened silently without making any comment.

"Your Majesty," the old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said, "I dare to ask, is the prince innocent?"

Emperor Yuan Jing shook his head slightly: "It is too early to be able to initially figure out the context of the case in just two days. Xu Qi'an is indeed a talent, but he is just too thoughtful."

He snorted coldly and said: "Go and urge the cabinet to draft the edict as early as possible. There is no need to choose a good day."

Last time he asked the old eunuch to deliver the order to the cabinet, and the cabinet accepted it, but delayed it on the grounds that there were no auspicious days recently.

"As commanded."

Uncle Xu, who was in charge of the Japanese patrol, returned home with his helmet in his arms, the saber on his back swaying with his footsteps.

There is a half-hour break at noon. As the head of a hundred households, Xu Pingzhi will go back to his house to have a meal and drink tea for a while.

The kitchen was still busy with lunch, and my aunt was planting newly bought clivias in the backyard. She was wearing a light blue Luo Shang, a pleated long skirt of the same color, and the skirt was embroidered with complicated cloud patterns.

When bending down to plant orchids, her slender waist and plump hips are highlighted.

Second Uncle Xu held his helmet, stood not far away, and cleared his throat: "Madam, I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen to hurry up."

Auntie was busy planting flowers and ignored her.

"lady?"

"What are you shouting for?" Auntie said with a cold expression: "Mr. Xu, are you going to socialize with your colleagues tonight? You won't be back."

Uncle Xu was stunned: "What are you talking about, ma'am?"

Auntie planted the last clivia, clapped her hands, pinched her waist, and smiled coldly:

"What's the saying? Yes, blood is thicker than water. Your nephew will never forget you when he gets rich. He knows how to secretly stuff money into your second uncle."

Second Uncle Xu was shocked when he heard this. He said to himself that it was a long time ago that Dalang gave me money. It was before he went to Yunzhou. Why did you dig out this old account?

"How could that happen? Da Lang just jumped out of the coffin yesterday. He was out that day and stayed up all night. How could he have time to stuff me with money?"

Second Uncle Xu will definitely not admit it, and he will not admit it if it exists, not to mention that it is a lie.

When my aunt heard this, she was furious. She raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "Xu Pingzhi, you really want to sneak into a brothel with fifty taels of private money.

"Erlang told me this morning that Xu Ningyan secretly stuffed you fifty taels. I thought that if you admitted it, it would be revealed, but I didn't expect that you really wanted to keep it secretly.

"You don't admit it, right? Erlang would lie to me? Xu Pingzhi, you have no conscience. I run this family with all your heart and soul, and even brought up your unlucky nephew. Is this how you repay me?"

"Where's Erlang? Let him come out." Uncle Xu was angry.

"Bah, Erlang is catching up on his sleep. Don't disturb him or change the subject. Do you want to pay fifty taels?"

"I'll hand it over, madam, don't be angry." Uncle Xu entered the bedroom dejectedly. In order to prevent his aunt from discovering where the banknotes were hidden, he walked very quickly.

After entering the bedroom, he went straight to Xu Lingyin's small wing and lifted up his daughter's bedding. Underneath was all his private money, a total of eighty taels.

Xu Ershu gritted his teeth and took out two twenty-tael and two fifty-tael banknotes.

At this time, he suddenly saw a bag of green oranges placed on the small table beside the bed.

Green oranges are not just oranges in Xu Pingzhi's eyes, so he is particularly sensitive to green oranges and immediately became suspicious.

"Green tangerines are sour and astringent. They are usually used for medicinal purposes. Why did you buy them for no reason? They are still kept in Suzune's room."

With doubts flashing in his heart, Uncle Xu left the wing, returned to the yard, and obediently handed over the banknote.

Auntie's face brightened slightly, she snorted, took out her delicate little purse, and put away the banknotes.

Xu Pingzhi took advantage of the situation and asked: "Why are there green tangerines on Lingyin's table? Did Dalang buy them?"

"Erlang bought it."

Fifty taels arrived, and my aunt said with satisfaction.

Erlang bought it, why did Erlang buy this thing? His purpose of buying green tangerines should be different from mine, right?

Second Uncle Xu's heart moved: "Erlang, like Dalang, stayed out all night last night, right?"

"Erlang went to socialize with his colleagues. As for your nephew, who knows where his ghost has gone." Auntie rolled her eyes.

If it hadn't been for the previous social deaths, Xu Pingzhi would have fully agreed with his wife's words. But now, he knows what kind of person his son is.

Dalang stayed away all night, and Erlang also stayed away all night. According to my understanding of Dalang, he probably went to Jiaofangsi, but it was Erlang who bought the green orange.

"Erlang smells like orange, right?" Xu Pingzhi asked casually.

Auntie nodded indifferently, admiring the Clivia she planted.

The obvious answer is that Dalang taught Erlang. If nothing else, Dalang betrayed me, so Erlang made up fictitious personal money to beat my bastard, and even I dared to scheme.

Xu Pingzhi said in a deep voice: "It seems that Erlang has been having a headache recently."
