After Xie Jun had a banquet at the Chen Mansion, he returned to the Xie Mansion smelling of alcohol.
Xie Jun was the most handsome man in the capital when he was young. Now in his forties, he has grown a beard, has a graceful demeanor, a tall figure, and a handsome face. He is still unrivaled in his middle-aged handsomeness. He is also the noble Minister of Etiquette.
, the important minister of humerus in Daqi.
The two aunts were waiting at the main entrance. When they saw Xie Jun, they each came forward to welcome him warmly and attentively, calling softly: "The master has finally returned home."
"My concubine has been waiting here!"
These two aunts have been in the family for more than ten years. They each gave birth to Xie Rouxi and Xie Yuanlou. They have served Xie Jun tenderly and thoughtfully over the years. Xie Jun has never renewed his marriage, and it seems that it is impossible for him to renew his marriage.
.The two aunts naturally wish for this.
Not being a mistress is the ultimate dream of every aunt in the world.
The two aunts lived happily and contentedly in Xie's residence, and served Xie Jun even more devotedly.
Xie Jun held the hands of his aunts and walked in with soft and floating steps.
Mrs. Xu didn't go to bed either, so she sent her maid to wait at the front door. When she heard that Xie Jun was back, she immediately sent someone to the kitchen with the prepared sobering soup.
Mrs. Xu personally brought the sobering soup. Xie Jun couldn't be rude and was about to stand up to say thank you. Hear Mrs. Xu laugh and say: "Why should a family be so out of touch? You drank too much at the party. Sit down and rest soon.
I also drank the soup."
Xie Jun was not polite and said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble, mother."
Picked up the hangover soup and drank it slowly.
Every time Xie Jun came home from drinking at night, Mrs. Xu would wait for him and prepare sobering soup.
Relationships come from getting along, and this is absolutely true.
Xie Jun and Xu, mother and son who are separated by belly, were hostile to each other at the beginning, and later became hypocritical. Now they have been together for more than ten years, and they have become as close as mother and son.
After Xie Jun finished drinking the hangover soup, Mrs. Xu opened her mouth again and smiled: "Ajun, I have to tell you something."
Xie Jun raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
"Today, Mrs. Sun and I led Zi Jin into the palace to pay our respects to the Queen. The Queen and Princess Aluo liked Zi Jin very much and wanted to keep Zi Jin in the palace for a few days. I agreed." Mrs. Xu smiled.
said.
A trace of satisfaction and complacency flashed in Xie Jun's eyes: "Good, good! So good!"
The Xie family is full of glory, all because of Xie Mingxi.
Unfortunately, Xie Mingxi's treatment of her natal family is quite cold and not very kind. Compared with the time when Empress Yu spared no effort to support her natal family, Xie Mingxi is stingy in this regard. In the end, Xie Mingxi's feelings towards the Xie family are all
It arose because of Aunt Ding and her son.
This is also what makes Xie Jun most frustrated and helpless.
Fortunately, Xie Yuanting and Sun gave birth to a good daughter. Xie Zijin's appearance is five points like that of her biological aunt, and she is smart and intelligent, so she is favored by Xie Mingxi. Princess A Luo also likes this beautiful and lovely cousin very much.
Since last year, Xie Zijin has often been taken to the palace to pay respects, and he has always been generously rewarded in the palace.
This time, Xie Zijin was directly left to live in the palace. This also showed the favor of Queen Xie to her natal family. Very good, very good!
Mrs. Xu smiled again and said, "Yes! We all think this is a good thing and are very happy. But Yuan Ting was not happy and lost his temper with Mrs. Sun."
Oh! Xie Yuanting still dares to lose his temper at Mr. Sun?
Xie Jun was surprised: "What happened next?"
Xu coughed and said, "I've already called the doctor."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun's expression was complicated, and he couldn't say anything. After a while, he said: "Ms. Sun is still pregnant, so it's not appropriate to get angry. Mother advised her to be more careful."
Xie Jun is quite satisfied with Sun as his daughter-in-law. Sun's greatest contribution is to tightly control Xie Yuanting. Today's Xie family does not need Xie Yuanting to add glory to their family.
Not causing trouble is Xie Jun's highest expectation for Xie Yuanting.
Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement.
Xie Jun thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "When mother came into the palace today, did she talk to the Queen about the heir?"
The emperor and the empress had been married for ten years, and the couple loved each other very much. The emperor only favored the middle palace and never wanted to accept the concubine. The deep affection between the emperor and the empress has become a good story in Daqi.
But Xie Jun still has the biggest hidden worry in his heart.
Due to the continuous observance of filial piety, the emperor and empress have only Princess Aluo under their knees, and there is no prince yet. Now that the period of filial piety is finally over, Xie Mingxi must get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to a legitimate prince, so that she can truly secure her position in the middle palace.
.
"That's true," Ms. Xu said helplessly, "But you also know the Queen's temper. Just look at me and you won't dare to talk too much."
This is true.
Empress Xie's majesty was growing day by day. Not to mention the Xu family, even Xie Jun felt embarrassed when he saw Xie Mingxi. After being glanced at, he could not say more words.
Xie Jun sighed: "That's it! The Queen is the most intelligent and astute. She must have already thought of such an important matter."
Mrs. Xu also smiled and chimed in and said good things: "The Empress is blessed with kindness. In the past few years, she has been observing filial piety one after another, which has delayed the birth of her children. This year is the filial piety period, and there will definitely be good news soon."
I hope so.
Xie Jun smiled and nodded.
…
"Ouch!"
Xie Yuanting, who was lying on the bed, turned over and accidentally touched the wound on his arm. He immediately bared his teeth and screamed.
Sun glanced at Xie Yuanting: "Does it hurt?"
Xie Yuanting immediately said: "It doesn't hurt, I just shouted casually to relieve my boredom."
Mrs. Sun snorted softly, stroking her slightly swollen belly with one hand, while scolding: "The Queen likes Zijin, and Princess Aluo also likes Zijin very much. She wants to keep Zijin in the palace for a few days. How is this?
His grace is a good thing that no one else can ask for."
"It's good for you that you actually quarreled with me over this matter. You're not afraid of being laughed at if you tell me."
Xie Yuanting received a severe beating and was so upset that he turned over and became silent.
He and Xie Mingxi have had a feud for a long time, and there will probably never be a day when they can resolve their feud.
He is not willing to let his daughter get close to Xie Mingxi at all. He does not care about any favor!
When Sun saw Xie Yuanting's stubborn character, he felt helpless.
Xie Yuanting was indeed afraid of her and listened to her in almost everything. However, when his daughter was involved, Xie Yuanting became a mighty and unyielding man and refused to give in.
Sun didn't do anything blindly, and would occasionally say soft words: "I know that you and the Queen have a deep quarrel, and that brother and sister are at odds with each other. Therefore, I never force you to see the Queen. I always go to the palace to see you."
"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Zijin's future."
"The Queen likes Zi Jin, shows her favor and gives him some support. When Zi Jin grows up, why worry about not being able to find a good husband?"
Xie Yuanting replied firmly: "I will be happy to raise my daughter for the rest of my life."
Mrs. Sun sighed: "You still rely on your father-in-law to support you. How can you support your daughter for the rest of your life?"
