Chapter Fourteen: Bad News From the Du Family

Du Langu entered the court last year, and now he is the Minister of the Household Department. Although he has not yet presided over the entire Household Department, Chunjia relies heavily on him.

Therefore, the family members are proud of the spring breeze, and they are respected in the banquets in the imperial capital.

It's just that he came from a low background after all, and originally had a teacher Cui Wan to rely on, and knew a lot of inside information, but after being favored by the emperor, he took the initiative to distance himself from Cui Wan. Now the only contact with Gongwei is Yi Xingen.

But the Seventh Queen revealed Zhaoqing's life experience, and King Qin Zhaoqing knew of the existence of his biological mother... At this moment, Yi Xingen is busy picking herself up, so how could she take the initiative to send them news?

As for the others, one doesn't know that it was Du Langu's daughter who let it go, and the other is that Yi Xingen has helped Yun Fenghuang with many things in the past two years, but she is happy to see the noble concubine being cheated by the daughter of a general under her command , too busy to watch the fun.

In short, when the oral order for Du Langu's wife and daughter to practice at Shanyuan Temple arrived at Du's mansion, Du Langu's family was shocked and at a loss.

Du Langu's wife, Qian Shi, was the first to suspect Yi Xing'en: "Could it be that the empress hated the concubine or the queen in the palace? But how could this be so angry at the concubine and the children?!"

"Madam Qian should stop being suspicious." The servant who delivered the letter gave her a sullen look, and said with a smirk, "Ms. Zhaorong has always been cautious in her words and deeds. Who has she offended during these years in the palace? In fact, if it weren't for Empress Zhaorong's decency in front of the imperial concubine, this time, Madam Qian still has a few daughters, so she wouldn't have the opportunity at all! If you want to blame it, blame you for not being able to teach your daughter!"

Said Du Langu, who squinted and frowned in thought, "Also, knowing that Mrs. Du is an upright official, I am afraid that after Mrs. Qian goes, there will be no one to take care of the back house, which will distract Mrs. Du. Therefore, His Majesty specially bestowed four talents A maid with both good looks and good looks, serve your lord!"

He intentionally reminded, "These palace maids were all selected with the help of the imperial concubine, and I hope Master Du will treat you more kindly in the future!"

Qian Shi was still in shock at first, but she couldn't help turning pale when she heard the words: "This... the imperial concubine?!"

"You take the children down." Du Langu vaguely sensed something, waved his hand, and after dismissing the idlers, he asked the servant alone.

He has always been upright and upright, back then even his only biological sister, Yi Xingen, did not pretend to be polite.

At this moment, it is not beneficial to say that I am asking for advice.

The servant simply knew that the emperor liked his upright temperament, so he didn't dare to be too negligent. After holding Joe for a while, seeing his sincerity, he revealed the news: "Master Du, don't think that this is the concubine's unreasonable concubine. You are in trouble. In fact, because of the thoughtful service of Empress Zhaorong in front of the empress, the empress has always given you a lot of support. Like you before when you were transferred back to Beijing, there were other people who wanted this lady. After Zhaorong heard the news, she went to the imperial concubine to pay her respects, and no one dared to use their brains anymore..."

Du Langu frowned slightly as he listened, he really didn't know what happened.

But according to his temperament, he would rather lose than go through the back door.

It's just that the deal is done, and now that I say this, it's as if I've got a bargain and I'm acting like a good boy.

He regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, but I don't know why the noble concubine treats the minister's wife and daughter like this?"

"Today, the Seventh Emperor's daughter slipped her tongue in the women's school, and yelled at Princess Zhaoqing and His Royal Highness King Qin's life experience." The servant said lightly, and Du Langu couldn't help but change his expression.

Although he has never really looked down upon Concubine Min, a concubine who is so eloquent and ruthless, but he has to admit that this concubine is really not easy to mess with!

The servant continued: "The two highnesses have always been loved and loved, how can they bear it? Why don't you go to the Huanhua Palace to confront the imperial concubine immediately? I don't know how to tell the imperial concubine, oh, the empress is crying... the whole The Xuanqing Palace didn't dare to vent their spirits at this moment! In this way, Empress Zhaorong took off her hairpin outside with the Seventh Imperial Daughter to wait for the crime, knelt for a long time, and finally the Empress reluctantly comforted the two Highnesses, and called them in... In short, the Seventh Emperor's daughter confessed in person that the life experiences of the two Highnesses are based on what Ling Ai said. The reason why Ling Ai would say this is to persuade the Seventh Emperor to help her teach the Miss Wei family..."

"Now the Concubine De concubine may also hate Ling Ai."

"The imperial concubine is kind-hearted, and she doesn't want to argue with children, so she speaks to His Majesty, and asks Madam to take a few young ladies to the Taoist temple to cultivate her heart, so as not to be more open-minded in the future, and bring trouble to you!"

"As for the maidservants, the imperial concubine considers that you, as an official of the imperial court, are busy with official duties, so you probably don't have time to discipline the young ladies. So I don't want to cause you any trouble. Your Madam and the young ladies went out to practice. Always arrange someone to serve you..."

Du Langu looked serious, knowing that things were troublesome.

If Concubine Min found fault for nothing, he could still argue for his wife and daughter.

If it was just his daughter who accidentally leaked the life experiences of the two Highnesses, he can also confidently express that this is the truth, what is there to say?

The point is, the reason why his daughter leaked her life experience was to persuade the seventh emperor daughter to help deal with Miss Wei's family. This... Based on this, how can the Du Langu and his wife be cleared of the charge of lax parenting?

If the imperial concubine pursued him together, he would have nothing to say.

"I understand." Du Langu thought for a while, thanked the servant, and asked, "It's just... I don't know if the empress once said that Zhuojing and the little girls' practice will end ?”

Letting go to the Taoist temple to practice, and at the same time arrange for the male master to serve the beautiful palace servants. Compared with the turmoil caused by the two heirs knowing their own backgrounds, to be honest, considering the vicious actions of the imperial concubine in the past, it is not too cruel.

The point is, he only said to let him go to practice, but he didn't say when he would come back!

If this makes his wife and daughter live a lifetime in the Taoist temple...

This punishment is very, very heavy!

The servant waved his hand: "The imperial concubine is still angry, so she didn't say anything. In short, Mrs. Du, we advise you not to fight against the empress right now. I know you are loyal, brave, and iron-blooded, but... there is no one else Here, our family will let you know: Right now, even His Majesty dare not persuade the imperial concubine or empress!"

Even Chunjia is afraid, why don't you give it a try?

I really thought you were a courtier and noble concubine, so I couldn't do anything to you?

"After all, there is still Lady Zhaorong in the palace." Seeing Du Langu's expression fluctuating, the waiter worried that this well-known direct minister would not really try the concubine's methods. After all, he was a courtier who was valued by the emperor. Waiter, you have to think about the emperor.

He quickly softened his tone and reminded, "It just happened now, and the imperial concubine is so angry that no one dares to intercede... Your lord, why not let your wife and daughter go to Shanyuan Temple first, and after a few days, the imperial concubine calms down and arrives You don't need to tell me about the time, the empress Zhaorong can still watch her sister-in-law and nieces watching all the time? It's just that if Mrs. Zun and the ladies come back in the future, the adults should teach them more when they have time. After all, there are some words, It really shouldn't be said!"

Du Langu weighed it for a while, and finally gave a wry smile, and thanked him.

Although he is upright, although he doesn't like the concubine, he is not stupid.

When he is righteous, he dares to hate the imperial concubine.

The main reason is that he knows that he is quite important in Chunjia's mind.

After all, they are the courtiers that the emperor gathered when he was secretly accumulating strength, and he can be regarded as following the earlier direct line.

Even though Chunjia prefers the noble concubine, she will not sit back and watch the noble concubine ruin her trusted arm.

But this was when his side was not caught.

Now the noble concubine occupies the truth, although Du Langu suspects that she intends to let Qian's mother and daughter stay in the Taoist temple for a lifetime, but the noble concubine has not said so at present, and it seems like a false accusation to ask the emperor for help... It is true that what the servant said is right, let's go first Let the wife and daughter go to the Taoist temple to stay for a period of time. If the concubine refuses to allow people to come back, then ask the emperor for help.

Thinking of this, he sent his servant away politely, turned around and explained the ins and outs to Mrs. Qian, who suddenly felt bitter, twisted the ears of several daughters and asked one by one: "Who is it that keeps the door open?! Didn’t I say, some things, we just need to know for ourselves, don’t let them out! You told the Seventh Princess not to say anything, and you still want to persuade the Seventh Princess to target Miss Wei?! Don’t you know that the Concubine De and the Concubine of the Wei family are very good? Like something, it’s fine if the seventh princess didn’t listen to you, if she did, how could this matter be trivial?!”

Although she came from a low family background, she was able to be married by the upright Du Langu back then, and she has never taken any concubines over the years, so she is quite savvy.

It's just limited by family background and vision, and I didn't pay enough attention to many details.

At that time, it was not intentional to reveal the royal secrets to the young daughters, but it was mentioned by chance while chatting with the confidantes. However, because Du Langu was clean and the mansion was small, the daughters were playing games and they happened to be hiding nearby, so it was a real surprise. with.

After discovering it, she specifically told her not to let it out. At that time, the daughters all promised well, but... Obviously, the children's promises were not so credible after all.

After some cross-examination, it turned out that her second daughter was fighting against Miss Wei at a banquet, because she was inferior to her in every aspect. In a fit of anger, she wanted to ask the prince's cousin to help vent her anger, but the seventh prince didn't dare to agree. Such a mess was caused today!

Qian Shi was trembling with anger, if her husband was not still in front of her, she really wanted to point at this woman and yell at her right away!

In fact, it's okay to just go to the Taoist temple to practice for a few days. For her, what worries her most is the four maids that the imperial concubine gave under the guise of the emperor's name.

After all, she came from a low family background. If she hadn't married Du Langu early and had given birth to several children, and Du Langu herself was obsessed with official career and had little interest in beauty, she might not be the main wife of Du's mansion. Sit tight.

As a result, seeing the children growing up, Du Langu didn't have any intention of changing his mind. He thought that he was doomed in this life. With the help of his second daughter, the mother and daughter went to the Taoist temple and didn't know when they would be able to come back. I know that the servant girl arranged by the noble concubine must not only be beautiful, but also especially good at serving.

It's just that Du Langu didn't deliberately pursue beauty, and when he was entertaining with his colleagues, he didn't refuse when others called a prostitute to serve him.

Even though she still had Qian's mother and daughter in her heart at first, after a while, who knows if she will be seduced by the palace maid?

If the palace maid gives birth to an heir during this period, it will directly divide the property that should belong to the Qian family's children. If it is a male heir, it will also take away the resources and contacts accumulated by Du Langu in his future career!

The most important thing is that these palace maids came under the banner of Yuci, even if Mrs. Qian came back to the mansion later, there is no reason to do anything to them.

But the family was carefully selected by the imperial concubine, what world has not been seen in the palace? When it comes to house fights, it's not that Qian is belittling herself, she really doesn't think she will be able to overwhelm the "rich gift" arranged by the imperial concubine.

Especially this is not just one or two, but a total of four palace maids!

It can be said that thanks to the gift of the second daughter, the few happy days of Qian's wife are completely over from today!

"...This matter is our fault." Du Langu looked at his second daughter and sighed. At this time, he pays attention to daughters avoiding fathers and sons and mothers. He usually doesn't care about children, but he raises sons himself. As for daughters , has always given full power to his wife.

Before, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qian's teaching.

Anyway, Qian Shi himself was not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he also asked a female teacher to give advice.

As for the others, in terms of morality, Du Langu thinks that the Qian family is not bad, logically speaking, the daughters will not be disabled by education.

But who would have thought it would be like this?

He wanted to say a few words to his second daughter, but seeing that she was crying out of breath, he couldn't bear it, hesitated for a while, and said nothing, just said to Mrs. Qian, "You guys go to watch, I'll be with you The servant has inquired about it, and after a while, the noble concubine calms down, and then asks Zhaorong to help intercede. It is impossible to keep you there all the time."

Qian Shi reluctantly agreed with a smile, her heart was extremely sour, Du Langu was not in the mood to take care of the four palace maids given by the emperor at the moment, but... the man who turned around came to him, is Du Langu really not interested?

She went to pack her things with a heavy heart. After all, the words sent by the imperial concubine in person were conveyed through the emperor's oral order. How could she dare to delay?

The mother and daughter were all upset, they could only pray secretly, hoping that Zhaorong would calm down the imperial concubine's anger as soon as possible!
