Both the couple have decided that there can be no more little phoenixes.
Two babies and five children are already overwhelming. If you add another little phoenix, you will go crazy, so safety measures must be sufficient.
Although the fifth child is looking forward to having a girl, he really doesn't want to have another child. The two of them have agreed that if they really want a girl, they should wait until the second child is older and then take another one back to raise. The fifth child is not afraid that the child will cause trouble.
, but I am afraid that it will be in danger if Lao Yuan gives birth to a child.
He is unwilling to take risks. He wants a daughter, but it is dispensable. His wife is the most important thing.
Yu Wenhao returned to Jingzhao Mansion the next day, and the Marquis of Zhenbei came to see him, saying that he wanted to talk to him about something important.
Yu Wenhao probably thought that it was because of Concubine Hu's matter, so he invited her to the side hall, sat down and talked, and it turned out that it was because of what Xiao Laoshi said.
Yu Wenhao said: "How old is Xiao Lao Shi? Why does everyone take notice of what he said? Mr. Hou, you are also serious. No one has said anything, and you still hold on to him. How boring.
"
The Marquis of Zhenbei hesitated for a while, then said with a pale face: "No, I taught him that sentence."
Yu Wenhao was startled, "What? Did you teach it?"
"It's not teaching!" Zhenbei Hou looked regretful and paused: "I just said it casually. Who knew that this kid remembered it and even said it at the dinner? When I heard about it, I almost died of fright.
.”
Yu Wenhao looked at him and said calmly: "Okay, no one knows about this, and you don't want to talk about it in front of anyone."
The Marquis of Zhenbei said with a mournful face, "Someone knows about it and has already reported it to the emperor. Someone in the palace sent a message asking me to enter the palace tomorrow."
"Who reported it to the emperor? In front of whom did you say it? Why are you so confused?" Yu Wenhao was really angry with him. The Marquis of Zhenbei definitely didn't have that intention. He just didn't restrain his words and always liked it.
Talking big words, Jing Jingyan said before that his habit will kill him.
The Marquis of Zhenbei sighed, "That day when I went to the palace to see my empress, the tenth prince asked me to play with him in the yard. As he was playing, he became more interested. He said that he would be a general like me in the future, so I said casually.
He is smart and will be able to become not only a general but also an emperor in the future. This is just a joke and I don't take it seriously."
"Who listened then?"
"There were quite a few of the people who were waiting in the palace, and I didn't pay much attention to them. I only knew that there were a few people playing with them, and they were three or four feet away from each other. Who knew that I would ask people to listen?"
Marquis Zhenbei said, sighing deeply, "I have been accused of being too powerful in the past, but later I realized that I was wrong, and after restraining myself for so many days, who knew that I would be so mean again and say such a thing? Your Highness,
You have to believe me, I never meant that, I just said it casually."
"What's the use of my king trusting you? You have to have your father's trust." Yu Wenhao was very angry when he thought about it. He glared at him and said: "How many times have I told you? Empress Hu is the one who is favored now.
At that time, your every word and deed would be watched by others, and you would be used to find fault with the empress, but now it is better, and even the tenth child will be implicated."
The Marquis of Zhenbei said: "I'm just afraid of causing trouble to the empress and the tenth prince. Otherwise, I'm not afraid. At most, it's my life and my head. Well, Your Highness, please stop scolding me. The old lady has already scolded me to death."
"You should go back and think about it carefully. Who was present that day? I didn't inform Empress Hu when I heard what you said, but now I have informed my father. No matter what, this person must be found out."
"It needs to be investigated. Can your Highness go to the palace tomorrow and say a few words to me in front of the emperor?" In the past, Zhenbeihou would act like his father-in-law in front of the emperor, but now he is really afraid, fearing that he will harm his daughter.
and the tenth prince.
"No, my father will believe you, but you must ask clearly." Zhenbei Hou has no tricks, and his father knows better than him. He paused and said: "But before meeting the saint, you should send someone
Send a message to Empress Hu and tell her this matter, otherwise she won't know the truth. If you are summoned to the palace tomorrow to question this matter, she will think you are innocent and there is no chance of causing trouble."
"Now that there is no order, I can't enter the palace. Can you trouble Your Highness to ask the Crown Princess to come for me?" Zhenbei Hou actually lowered his face and begged.
Yu Wenhao knew that Concubine Hu had a strong temperament. If she didn't know anything, she would really cause trouble later, so he said: "Well, I will send someone back to inform the Crown Princess and ask her to enter the palace to see Empress Hu as soon as possible."
"Thank you, thank you, Your Highness!" the Marquis of Zhenbei whined. He really didn't know why he was acting like this.
Yu Wenhao frowned slightly, looking at Zhenbei Hou like this, how can he still look like the high-spirited general he once was? This capital really does not raise military generals, and is cautious in its conduct, fearing that it will be pulled by the tail, which will only damage its ambition.
But there was nothing that could be done, because military generals always had bad habits, which were the most disliked by civil servants, especially the slightly arrogant arrogance of military generals. In addition, Concubine Hu was favored, so how many pairs of eyes were staring at him?
If you don't make this mistake today, there will be other mistakes tomorrow. You can't escape unless you are outside.
Yuan Qingling heard the report and hurried into the palace to tell Concubine Hu about it.
Concubine Hu never dreamed that it was her father who instigated it, and she was so angry that she burst into tears, "No wonder on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I sent a petition saying that I wanted to invite my mother's family to the palace, but the emperor refused outright. It turned out to be because of this."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Did the Emperor know about it on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"
"I must know, otherwise why would I refuse? In the past, he was very happy for my mother-in-law's family to come to the palace to accompany me." Concubine Hu originally felt very aggrieved, but now, her face was pale, and she looked at Yuan Qing Ling asked
Said: "Tell me, will the emperor believe my father? Is it unintentional to believe him?"
Yuan Qingling comforted and said: "It's hard to say whether the emperor believed it before, but he must believe it now. Think about it, the emperor already knew about it on the fourth day of the year, but he didn't let the Marquis come into the palace to question him. This shows that he must have investigated it privately.
, I only asked him to come into the palace to give him a few words of warning after making sure nothing happened."
Concubine Hu said in panic: "Then what if after investigation we find that he has this intention?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "How could it be? The Marquis definitely doesn't have this intention, and if the emperor thinks that he does, he will not point it out, but suppress it secretly. Now that he can be summoned to the palace for questioning, he must be convinced.
He, I want to give him a few words of warning so that he can be careful about what he says in the future. After all, this concerns the Tenth Prince, and the Emperor also cares about it, and is unwilling to cause trouble for the Tenth Prince."
After listening to Yuan Qingling's analysis, Concubine Hu felt that it made sense. She breathed a sigh of relief and then said bitterly: "Father, it's true. I told him several times to tell him not to speak to anyone.
We need to be more cautious. Now that he is working for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have gained favor in the palace, there will be people who want to see us in trouble. He just didn't pay attention. Something really happened this time, right? Hey, I'd better ask the emperor to transfer him away.
Let’s go to the capital, otherwise with his temperament, bigger things will happen in the future.”
