Chapter 204 Welcome the eldest lady and uncle back home
Because he was not sure of His Majesty's intentions, Qingpinghou didn't want to go out at all for the past two days. He repeatedly recalled the situation on the day of the interview at home, trying to figure out: Why!
But he couldn't discuss these details with Mrs. Qingpinghou.
So Mrs. Qingpinghou went to several aristocratic families and didn't understand the situation before she came back to ask questions.
"The intention of the Changping Marquis Mansion is to wait for Heng'er to issue the imperial edict before they are willing to get married. But now Heng'er's imperial edict to confer the crown prince has not been issued. Isn't this... Heng'er is already so old! I'm worried.
!"
"..."
Qingpinghou held his forehead tiredly, feeling severe pain in his temples.
"Master Hou, this is incredible! This is incredible!"
Mrs. Qingpinghou's heart skipped a beat, she opened the study door and cursed: "How can you talk? Drag me down and hit you ten times!"
The housekeeper was also startled outside and quickly admitted his mistake: "Madam, the servants were reckless. You can punish them as long as they don't delay their work."
Nowadays, the Qingping Marquis Mansion is having a hard time, and it cannot afford to support so many people. Some idle places have begun to lay off people.
There are not enough people.
Mrs. Qingpinghou took a few breaths and then asked: "What happened? Are you in such a panic?"
The boy brought by the housekeeper then stepped forward and replied: "We who were watching outside Xinghua Hutong just saw that a group of eunuch guards from the palace entered the eldest son's house and presented two large cars as rewards." p>
"What?" Mrs. Qingpinghou was stunned.
The title was revoked here, but something was rewarded over there. What does that mean?
"Is there anything else?" Qingpinghou had already walked out and asked standing by the door.
"For the time being... I haven't heard any other news yet, so I'll keep an eye on it..." The boy was smart and was immediately ready to squat again.
Just as the boy was about to go out, he heard footsteps running over and bumped into the boy!
"Father! Mother! It's not good! It's not good!" But it was Qi Yunheng.
Qi Yunheng couldn't care less about fighting with the boy and was panting when he rushed in.
Marquis Qingping was furious and said angrily: "What does it look like to be in a panic?"
With this virtue, do you still want to sit on the throne of the world?
Qingpinghou suddenly felt that this second son was not very good.
Qi Yunheng gasped for breath, and it took him a while to regain his breath. He raised his head and said: "The palace suddenly issued an order to make Qi Yunxiao the fourth-rank Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and let him go on a mission to the Xia Kingdom!"
Qingpinghou: "!!!"
Mrs. Qingpinghou: "!!!"
Seeing his parents stunned, as if they were stupid, Qi Yunheng stamped his feet: "Father! Mother, you should think of a solution! This... what on earth is going on?"
Qingpinghou came to his senses: "Isn't this impossible?"
Mrs. Qingpinghou also suspected that her son had heard wrongly: "With his dark forehead, can he go to Honglu Temple? Can he still be a young minister? And... can he also represent our Da Qi as an envoy to the Xia Kingdom?"
"It's true! He is going to represent Da Qi as an envoy to the Xia Kingdom! Prince Cheng told me the news!"
Although Prince Cheng’s face looked ugly when he said that.
"This... this..." Qingpinghou and Mrs. Qingpinghou looked at each other!
Not only did the Marquis of Qingping and his wife look at each other, there was also a quarrel in the court.
We all have the same ambition: It’s not like our court is depleted of people who can speak. There are so many good-looking officials, and we want to use a man with a black forehead and an unfilial piety who was deprived of the title of Crown Prince to be the young minister of Honglu Temple?
Your Majesty, don’t you dislike being embarrassed?
The new emperor did not argue with them and asked people to announce that Qi Yunxiao would go to the palace.
When Qi Yunxiao, wearing no hat and court uniform, walked into the palace with an upright figure, all the officials: "..."
The new emperor faintly groaned: "What? Are you stupid? You can't speak? Go on!"
Some officials questioned: "I heard that Mr. Qi has had a dark forehead since he was born. This person in front of me...can't be fake, right?"
An official immediately responded: "Perhaps something was used to cover it up?"
The new emperor did not reprimand him, but asked Qi Yunxiao to stand in front of the questioning official: "Here, he is standing in front of you. You can reach out and touch it yourself."
That official really took advantage of it!
But Qi Yunxiao's forehead was almost red when he rubbed it, and nothing else came off.
The official could only admit that Qi Yunxiao didn't use foundation or anything.
But soon, someone again complained about Qi Yunxiao's "unfilial piety".
The new emperor was furious, and squinted his eyes at the official who was kneeling in opposition: "I remember that Wang Shilang also renewed his marriage. Could it be that Wang Shilang also thinks that there is no problem in using the late wife's dowry to support a family?"
"I heard that the dowries of the late Madam Wang Shilang's family have been sealed up in the warehouse? Are they said to be left as a dowry for the late Madam's only daughter?"
"Did you use it secretly? If I don't use it for you, then your eldest daughter is being unfilial?"
Well, Xintei’s mouth is also very poisonous.
It was about the reputation of the whole family. Wang Shilang was so frightened that he hurriedly cried out: "Your Majesty, there are no minor ministers! No minor ministers! Those dowries have all been sealed, and there is no shortage at all..."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty understood: Dare Qingpinghou Mansion used the eldest son’s mother’s dowry!
Qi Yunxiao wouldn't let them use it, so they said Qi Yunxiao was unfilial?
He also sued to deprive Qi Yunxiao of his crown prince title?!
Ah yo!
When this matter was brought to the court, it was really embarrassing.
Now that His Majesty is on Qi Yunxiao's side, everyone has ceased their activities, but the reputation of Qingpinghou Mansion has been completely ruined.
Qi Yunxiao was waiting in the capital, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to send someone to prepare gifts for the Xia Kingdom.
The gift is not complicated, just silk, jewelry and jade.
The new emperor asked Qi Yunxiao to discuss the food of Xia State.
Silks, satin, jewelry and jade can be used without them, but food cannot be used.
This year Daqi was hit by a disaster, which made life difficult for many people. In order to provide disaster relief, the court even opened porridge sheds, which cost a lot of food. Now the inventory is running low.
But Xia Kingdom was not affected much, and its grain output was said to be very good.
What the new emperor means is to ask Qi Yunxiao to purchase food and see if there are any other opportunities for cooperation...
While waiting to prepare things, Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao walked to the door of Duke Wei's Mansion openly.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion has been closed for several years because the owner has been away from home for a long time. The servants in the family all come in and out through the corner door, and they are usually very low-key and never eventful.
When Shen Qingyu walked to the majestic door and knocked on the door knocker, many people were surprised: Where did this fool come from? The Duke Wei's mansion has not had an owner for many years, so the door has long been closed.
Don’t you know how to go to Jiaomen when you’re looking for someone?
Sure enough, an enthusiastic aunt reminded: "Girl, if you want to find someone, go to the corner door! The door won't open."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the side door opened a crack, and a boy who looked like a boy came out, whispered something to Shen Qingyu, and the door was closed.
"Look, girl, I didn't lie to you, did I? This door has not been opened for several years..."
Before Auntie could finish her words, she heard a creak, and the door of Duke Wei's Mansion, which had been dusty for several years, suddenly opened!
"Welcome the eldest lady and uncle back home!"
"Welcome the eldest lady and uncle back home!"
"Welcome the eldest lady and uncle back home..."
The neat and loud greetings from the servants made people passing by outside look sideways and stop, looking over in disbelief.
It seems that my mother has already written to them and made it clear.
Shen Qingyu grinned and turned to look at Qi Yunxiao: "Let's go in."
