past life fifteen
Xu Qian and Ayu finalized the day and invited the relatives of the Duke's Mansion to come to the royal palace to have a meal at the end of the month.
The post was sent to the Duke's Mansion, and the manager was handed over to the old lady Xu.
Can Old Mrs. Xu not tell that the younger son is actually a drunkard?
After all, I am still young. I still like to compete for strength and be competitive.
Old Mrs. Xu did not agree with her younger son's prestige in front of his brothers and sisters-in-law after he was appointed as the king, but her son's title of the king and moved to the mansion was a great joy, and the whole family should go over to celebrate.
In the evening of that day, Mrs. Xu ordered someone to call her son, daughter-in-law, nephew, niece, grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and a series of great-grandson-in-law.
The people were all here, the old, young, big, small, and the house was filled with the house, and the family could just set up four or five tables.
Old Mrs. Xu put on the Western reading glasses rewarded by the late emperor and picked up the post and read it.
The people in the east and west courtyards and four rooms have different expressions.
The relationship between the West Court and Xu Qian was quite friendly. Xu Qian was granted the title of King of a different surname and became the Regent. They benefited from it and were happy to go to the royal palace to celebrate.
The two rooms in the East Courtyard are not very good-looking.
Let’s talk about the big room first.
The Duke Xu Yan is still thinking about finding opportunities to occupy Ayu's body. Now, the fifth brother has been appointed as the prince, and Ayu has become the princess. The princess always has guards to follow him when traveling. Xu Yan has never had a chance in his life. Xu Yan dared not take action if he has the opportunity. His official position and power are not as powerful as Lao Wu. The troubles are too great and the gains are not worth the loss, not to mention that Emperor Mingxi is also Ayu's cousin.
He lowered his eyes, unhappy, but did not reveal any other complicated emotions.
Princess Rong Hua's face looked even worse than crying.
Her status was noble at the beginning because she was the younger sister of Emperor Jianyuan. Now Emperor Jianyuan has become the late emperor. Emperor Mingxi has appointed other eldest princesses as eldest princesses, but she has not been named. It is obviously because she hated her for the Cao clan. She encouraged Xu Yan to remind Emperor Mingxi to give her a letter, but Xu Yan refused and finally invited a minister. What did Emperor Mingxi say?
Emperor Mingxi said: "Old Mrs. Xu is my grandmother. After marrying into the Duke's Mansion, he has always regarded himself as a Xu wife. Princess Ronghua also married into the Duke's Mansion. It is appropriate to follow the example of the old Mrs. Wang, who should follow the old Mrs. Wang, take care of his husband and children and abide by the wife's decree. Don't be obsessed with the glory of the eldest princess. If I confer her, how can I deal with it?"
With the example of Mrs. Xu, it is really hard for the ministers to persuade him again.
Even since Emperor Xi of Ming came out, Princess Ronghua went out to visit again, and others stopped calling her Princess, but changed her words to call her Duke's wife.
Princess Ronghua was already full of anger for this, and she couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. Her face was haggard and listless. Later, she learned that Xu Qian had become the princess of Wang Ayu, a different surname. Princess Ronghua was almost vomiting blood.
The one who looks worse than Princess Rong Hua is Xu Ke's wife, Princess Nankang, who is in name only.
In order to marry Xu Ke, Princess Nankang used all kinds of methods to squeeze Ayu, and even made up his mind to murder Ayu's life. Nowadays, most people think that Princess Zhuang Wu has nothing to do with the Cao family. People who have met Ayu know that Princess Zhuang Wu is Ayu, the biological cousin of Emperor Mingxi, and even Emperor Mingxi named Xu Qian the king, probably to take care of Ayu, the cousin.
Emperor Mingxi valued Ayu so much, if Emperor Mingxi knew what she had done...
The more Princess Nankang thought about it, the more she felt that she was about to finish.
Xu Ke stood beside Princess Nankang, and Princess Nankang's hand was holding the hem of her clothes. Xu Ke was upset and turned his head away.
To this day, Xu Ke no longer dares to hope to save Ayu, and he doesn't have the same face to see Ayu. Compared with the hardships Ayu suffered after marrying him, the fifth uncle was willing to marry Ayu and take good care of Ayu. Xu Ke was only happy for Ayu. What he failed to do, the fifth uncle did, and Ayu finally lived a comfortable life that she deserves.
Xu Ke has already planned that next year he will ask for an errand, leaving the capital far away, leaving his mother and Princess Nankang.
Only when he left did the gossip about Uncle Wu and Ayu completely disappear.
At this moment, Xu Ke's heart was as calm as water.
Next to the big house, there is a second-bedroom family standing.
The former crown princess Xu Qiong is the girl born in the second wife.
If the former crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, Mr. Xu Er and Mrs. Xu Er will be the emperor's father-in-law and mother-in-law. With a great honor, even the big house will be respected by them. Now the former crown prince has died on the charge of harming loyal and kind-hearted people and forcing the palace to usurp the throne. Xu Qiong, Cao Wei and other former crown prince's family were living outside the city and could not leave for life. The second couple will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Xu was quite calm. The water splashed by his married daughter, and his daughter had broken him and his son and grandson. As long as he was loyal to Emperor Mingxi, Emperor Mingxi would not make things difficult for the sake of the old lady, and the family still had hope.
Mrs. Xu Er felt uncomfortable, but who told her to be Emperor Mingxi?
Mrs. Xu Er is very self-aware. If she cannot resist the emperor, she can only bear it peacefully. She also found that Princess Ronghua was the most miserable person in the mansion after Emperor Mingxi ascended the throne. After going out, she also brought more female relatives to Princess Ronghua to take advantage of her. Mrs. Xu Er suddenly balanced a lot and hoped that Princess Ronghua would attract the attention of Emperor Mingxi and let Emperor Mingxi forget her former prince's mother-in-law.
"Everyone is ready, let's go all the way at the end of the month." Old Mrs. Xu ordered.
All the younger generations say it is.
As a result, at the end of the month, Old Mrs. Xu finally came to the front hall with the time. She glanced over and found that two people were missing.
Old Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and looked at her eldest son.
Xu Yan winked at his second son Xu Ke, who told Xu Ke that this matter was all caused by Xu Ke.
Xu Ke explained helplessly: "Grandmother, mother and princess are in poor health..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly and looked at him and said, "I'm not sure, then you go and prepare two sedan chairs and let someone carry them onto the carriage."
Old Mrs. Xu didn't quite agree with the show of Lao Wu before, because she didn't want to cause anything to make the Xu family become a topic of conversation for the people of the capital after dinner, but Lao Wu wanted to be ashamed. Princess Rong Hua, Princess Nankang was actually very fair. There was no reason, so Princess Rong Hua could only bully Ayu, and Ayu could not be found.
Today, she took the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to let the fifth couple vent their anger. When she turned around, as long as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at peace, the royal family and the Duke's mansion would be in peace, and she would no longer help anyone.
Xu Ke showed hesitation and it was nothing to carry Princess Nankang, so he asked him to carry her mother...
Although my mother owes Ayu a lot, she was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him. I think she knew that my mother would definitely be humiliated by her fifth uncle this time.
Xu Ke couldn't bear it.
The young man couldn't bear it, so Old Mrs. Xu looked at her eldest son again.
Xu Yan did not hesitate and ordered the manager to make arrangements.
Princess Ronghua was lying on the bed in case Old Mrs. Xu came to see if she was really sick.
Unexpectedly, the old pious woman was even more cruel than she thought, so she actually asked someone to take her over!
Princess Ronghua was so angry that she couldn't lie down, so she lifted the quilt and stood up!
Just go, so what if Ayu becomes a princess? She is still the eldest princess Ronghua granted by the late emperor. She doesn’t have to kneel down when she sees Ayu. In front of so many people, Xu Qian and Ayu can still openly force her to kneel down?
With anger, Princess Rong Hua quickly changed into her gorgeous and noble princess outfit and went to the front hall with great momentum.
Mrs. Xu Er’s current fun comes from Princess Rong Hua.
Looking at Old Lady Xu, Mrs. Xu Er tentatively mocked Princess Rong Hua and said, "Why didn't my sister-in-law come in a sedan chair? I'm better?"
Princess Ronghua raised her chin proudly and regarded her as a swallow.
Mrs. Xu Er curled her lips.
After waiting for a while, Princess Nankang also came, of course she came by herself, but she was wearing an inconspicuous dress, covered in dust, obviously having accepted her fate, without the fierce fighting spirit of Princess Ronghua.
It was time to arrive, and Old Mrs. Xu took the lead in getting on the carriage. The whole family rode on the carriage and the horses rode on the horses, and headed towards the Zhuangwu Palace in a mighty manner.
Xu Qian, who became the prince, walked out of the palace like before and rarely interacted with ministers. Today he just invited his own relatives.
Some people want to teach a lesson, some people want to invite Xu Qian, and the palace is in order.
While waiting, Ayu sat with him in the lobby, and the wet nurse next to him was holding Princess Ruan Ruan who had just eaten milk.
Ayu is soft-hearted and easy to satisfy. Now the culprit of the Cao clan is dead. Emperor Mingxi has cleared the grievances of the Cao clan. She and Xu Qian also live a loving and happy life. She has a beautiful and lovely daughter. After becoming the princess, if Xu Qian had not insisted, Ayu would not have thought of going to take revenge on Princess Rong Hua or Princess Nankang.
However, when Princess Rong Hua stepped into the lobby with a arrogant look, Ayu saw the mean face that once slandered her and her aunt, Ayu couldn't help but straighten her back and couldn't help but want to show off her power and let Princess Rong Hua taste the feeling of being humiliated and helpless and must endure it.
Old Mrs. Xu is Xu Qian's mother and Ayu's mother-in-law. It is said that she can't accept the couple.
But when the empress and concubine returned to her parents' home, their parents had to kneel down to salute, showing that the imperial power was greater than everything else. Besides, she worshipped her, Princess Ronghua had no excuse to not kneel down.
Therefore, Old Mrs. Xu was the first to bend her knees.
Ayu was anxious, and Xu Qian had already walked over quickly and held his mother.
When the royal family manager met, he winked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan understood that he swallowed the unwillingness in his heart, led his family to kneel down and said respectfully: "I will pay homage to the prince and princess to my family."
Mr. Xu and others knelt down.
The prince Xu Shen and three generations also knelt down.
The fourth generation of the Xu family's great-grandchildren also knelt down.
Only Princess Rong Hua, beside Xu Yan, stood there with a straight figure.
The manager of the royal family frowned and scolded: "Bold, why doesn't the Duke's wife kneel?"
Princess Ronghua was about to call herself the eldest princess, but Xu Yan's face sank, and he grabbed her wrist and pulled the person down.
He was too strong, and Princess Ronghua was unprepared and did not kneel down. She pounced down and knelt down to the ground at the feet of Xu Qian and Ayu.
When she lies, the lobby is silent.
Ayu looked at Princess Ronghua lying at her feet, and it was undeniable that she was in a very happy mood.
Princess Rong Hua, who was lying there in shame in front of everyone, looked at the embroidered shoes of the princess embroidered with phoenixes under the hem of Ayu's skirt, and her eyes suddenly surged madness!
She is Princess Ronghua, and she would rather die than bow to Ayu!
The ruthless thoughts sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain, and quickly emerged in Princess Ronghua's heart. She suddenly pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and used all her strength to pierce Ayu's feet!
However, Princess Ronghua raised her hand and Xu Qian kicked her boots and put them directly on Princess Ronghua's face, which was coated with a thick layer of powder!
Xu Qian never hit a woman, but he put in a lot of strength in this kick.
Xu Qian had long wanted to pay back the pain that Princess Rong Hua had put on Ayu!
Chapter completed!
