Qixuan Episode (5)
The reason why Qiyou hesitated was because he knew that once he told Yuxi about this, Yun Qixuan would definitely be punished. Don't say anything, I'm afraid Qixuan will become even worse if this continues.
Huang Si Ling really couldn't see it, and said: "You don't have to tell the queen mother, tell the emperor about it first, and see what the emperor has to say?" It's no use for the husband to struggle here alone.
In fact, according to Huang Siling's thinking, she thinks it's best to tell Yuxi and Yunqing about this matter. Although Qihao is the emperor, he is just the elder brother. Although it is said that an elder brother is like a father, that is on the premise that the parents are not present. With their parents still around, even if the emperor wanted to discipline King Xuan, he had to ask the two elders for their opinions first.
It's just that Huang Siling is worried that if Yuxi strikes too hard, Qiyou will blame him for coming up with ideas. Although Qiyou is normally shrewd, he values affection. Once Qixuan is convicted of a serious crime, it will affect the relationship between husband and wife, so Huang Siling dare not take the risk to gamble.
Qiyou thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Brother tomorrow."
The next day, Qiyou went into the palace to find Qihao with a pair of panda eyes.
After summarizing the matter, Qiyou said: "Brother, third brother can't go on like this! If he doesn't care, he will be really useless." In the past, he was just a little irresponsible to his wife and children, but at least he would go to the house every time he came back. Visit Yunqing and Yuxi. And every time I go to Baihuayuan, I always bring gifts. But this time, I felt a little dizzy.
Qi Hao was silent for a while and said: "This matter, let's ask what parents think first!"
"I'm afraid that when mother finds out, she will punish the third brother severely." Twenty years ago, the third brother wanted to die for Zhong Wanting, and his mother dealt a ruthless blow. If his mother wants to make another move this time, it must be more ruthless than last time.
Qi Hao looked at Qi Xuan and said: "If we don't tell, you will be able to hide it from your parents? By then, I am afraid that your parents will even blame us."
Qi Xuan remained silent.
At this time, Yunqing was frowning and said to Yuxi: "Qixuan came back the day before yesterday, why don't you come to see us on the third day?"
Yu Xi was watering the flowers, and when she heard this, she said, "I think there must be some delay." Apart from being a little confused about women's sex these years, Qi Xuan was not out of line in other aspects. So Yuxi just opened and closed her eyes. Five of the six sons and daughters are promising, and the remaining one is useless. Furthermore, Dai Yanxin propped up the palace to teach several children, which is not bad in general.
Yun Qing was not happy: "He is alone, what can he be delayed by?" If it was Qihao or Qiyou, it might be delayed by business. But Qixuan, in the second year after getting married, resigned from his job in the Ministry of Rites and returned to Baitan Academy. For more than ten years, he has been wandering outside.
In fact, Yunqing can't understand Qixuan's appearance very much.
They just scolded, scolded and beat them, and were even kicked out to suffer. As a result, dogs still can't change eating shit. Therefore, Yunqing did not withdraw either. And Yu Xi didn't care, no matter how dissatisfied he was, there was nothing he could do.
Yu Xi said nonchalantly: "When he comes, you can ask him." She has scolded Qi Xuan enough these years, so that she is not willing to scold anymore. It's useless, scolding is just a waste of words.
Just as Yun Qing was about to speak, he heard the servant girl say outside: "The Emperor, Empress Dowager, just now someone from the palace said that the Emperor and King You are coming to have lunch at noon." If you don't say hello in advance, you will have nothing to eat when you come.
Yu Xi's expression froze when she heard this, and then she handed the water bottle to the maid next to her: "Let someone come in."
The little eunuch came in quickly.
Yu Xi asked: "When the emperor said this, was King You by his side?"
The little eunuch prostrated himself on the ground, and said respectfully: "Go back to the empress dowager, at that time Prince You was by the emperor's side."
Yu Xi waved the little eunuch down.
Yun Qing felt that Yu Xi's behavior was a bit strange, and asked in puzzlement: "What's the matter?" Before Qi Hao and Qi You came over for dinner, although Yu Xi didn't say anything, she was happy in her heart. But this time, the attitude is very strange.
Yuxi smiled, but the smile was deep enough to see: "It's nothing, tell the cook to make her cook more dishes that Qihao and Qiyou like to eat."
Yun Qing didn't think too much, and immediately said happily: "Let them make mutton dumplings, um, and make braised lamb chops."
Yuxi didn't speak out against it.
At 2:00 noon, Qihao and Qiyou arrived at Baihuayuan. At this time, the dishes were not cooked yet.
Yun Qing asked strangely: "Why are you here so early?" The two brothers came together before, and they usually didn't arrive until half past noon. Today came earlier.
After Yu Xi asked the two to sit down, she asked, "Tell me! What did Yun Qixuan do again?"
Qiyou didn't speak, just looked at Qihao.
Qihao smiled and said: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, except that Ah Xuan went to Huangzhuang in the suburbs early yesterday morning. Qiyou felt that he didn't miss you two elders, so he was very angry."
Yun Qing asked: "Is he going to Huangzhuang for something?" If there is something serious, it's okay to come to Baihuayuan to see them in a few days later.
Qixuan said: "I had an argument with him the day before yesterday, and he went to Zhuangzi to relax when he was in a bad mood."
Yuxi is not such a person to be fooled: "Although your father and I are old, we are not deaf and blind. Why on earth did Yun Qixuan quarrel with you? Why did he go to Zhuangzi?"
Qihao said: "Father, mother, let me tell you, don't worry about getting angry."
Yuxi said: "As long as he is still alive, I won't be in a hurry to get angry." Anyway, she no longer has any expectations for Qixuan. As long as she is still alive, no matter what happens, she cannot be hit.
Yun Qing sat on the stool, holding the armrests of the stool with both hands: "Tell me, what did he do again?" Six children, just such a fool.
Qiyou said: "Third Brother said he didn't have any money to lend me money for Brother Shi's wedding, but I didn't borrow it."
Yun Qing's face turned dark when he heard this: "Brother Mo doesn't care about him, what are you doing borrowing money in such a hurry?"
"Yeah! So I didn't borrow him, but he got angry and quarreled with me."
Yun Qing scolded angrily: "It must be that you have no money to spend and drink outside, so I borrowed money from you in the name of Brother Mo. Why did I give birth to such a bastard?"
Qiyou quickly nodded and said: "I was also worried about this, so I didn't borrow him. I have already sent someone to inquire about what the third brother is doing. Why do you need so much money?"
Yuxi smiled but said: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Even if Brother Mo is not engaged yet, if Yun Qixuan really borrows money for Brother Mo's marriage, Qiyou will definitely borrow money. Therefore, this matter is not as simple as he said.
Don't look at Qiyou in the court hall relying on Qihao's support to be boundless, the ministers of civil and military affairs would like to detour when they see him. But in front of Yuxi, he was too honest.
For Qixuan, Qiyou bit the bullet and said: "Mother, it's really about borrowing money."
"The thing about borrowing money is true, but the reason for not borrowing money is false." No matter what, it is impossible for Qiyou to fabricate such a reason to deceive the old couple.
"Why can't I hide anything from you, mother! The third brother borrowed money from me, and I originally planned to borrow it from him. But when the third brother borrowed the money, his tone was very contemptuous, and he said that the borrowed money would be deducted from the year-end dividends. I was a little displeased at that time." I am happy, so I don’t want to lend him money.” No one’s money comes from the wind, although his two shops make money, but it is also hard earned. Qi Xuan's attitude made him feel uncomfortable.
"Why did you quarrel again later?"
Qiyou said: "Everyone knows that I have money, and he won't believe me if I say I don't have money, so I casually said that my mother doesn't allow me to lend him money. Who knows that he will know that I lied to him after returning to the palace." , turned back and scolded me."
"What are you scolding?"
Qiyou glanced at Yu Xi secretly, and then said in a low voice: "I only have money in my eyes, and no brotherhood."
"anything else?"
Qiyou said: "I couldn't be more angry at the time. I said that all these years he cared about himself and cared about his parents, his wife and children. He retorted angrily at that time, saying that he was chasing his dream."
Hearing this, Yu Xi thought about it. If you chase your dreams, you don't need your parents.
Yuxi's expression was still very calm: "Then what did he go to Huangzhuang yesterday?"
Qiyou paused, and said: "He's in a bad mood, go to Huangzhuang to relax..." His heart was swallowed under Yuxi's sharp eyes.
"I don't want to say the same thing again."
Seeing that Qiyou was still silent, Qihao said: "Qixuan brought a woman back from Henan, and Princess Xuan didn't know why she was not allowed to stay in the mansion and sent to Huangzhuang." Needless to say, Yuxi can also say clear. Concubine Xuan is not a jealous person, since she is not allowed to stay in the palace, there must be something wrong with this woman.
"What is the origin of this woman?"
Qiyou didn't want to say it, but he had to say to Shang Yuxi: "It is said that she is a widow. According to the news from my people who came back from the investigation, she said that she looks ordinary. I was afraid that the third brother would know that I was investigating him and would be unhappy, so he didn't continue to inquire. gone."
Yuxi said with a blank face: "I don't even remember my parents for a woman who came out of nowhere. I really gave birth to a good son!"
Qiyou hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be angry. You don't know the third brother's temper, and he will return to Beijing after a few days of freshness." The main reason is that Qixuan is obsessed with this woman, even if he wants to hide it from Yuyu. Sooner or later, Xi will know.
If there is a serious matter, the delay is justifiable. Now, for the sake of a woman, he doesn't even come to visit them when he returns to Beijing. At this moment, Yunqing was both sad and sad.
Seeing Yunqing's appearance, Qiyou hurriedly said: "Father, don't be sad, the third brother is just confused for a while. Father, tomorrow, no, I will let him go back to Beijing in the afternoon."
At this time, Mei Lan said outside: "The dishes are ready, Empress Dowager, do you want to serve?"
Yuxi hummed, and then said to Qihao: "Let's eat!"
"Mother, how do you plan to punish third brother?" Without an accurate answer, he felt uneasy.
Yu Xi said: "You don't need to know this."
Even though there were many dishes he liked on the dinner table, Qiyou still didn't have the slightest appetite.
After lunch, Qiyou asked Yuxi: "Mother, tell me, what do you plan to do with third brother?" In this way, he didn't know what to do.
Yuxi's expression was very indifferent: "Don't worry, no matter how ridiculous he is, I can't do anything to kill my son."
Hearing this, Qiyou's heart rose to his throat.
