Chapter 72 Minghui's Decline

Everyone in Liugong was mentally prepared for Minghui to make a fuss at the wedding.

The queen even ordered her servants to conduct a private rehearsal in advance, so that she could cover up the matter as soon as possible.

This situation directly led to the fact that during the New Year's Eve banquet, everyone looked at Ming Hui in a wrong way.

Minghui looked back coldly, her eyes were full of hostility.

But this is just a small fragment, this year's New Year's Eve banquet is generally very smooth, no one is looking for trouble, no accidents, and the beginning of the happy and happy, the wife ended peacefully.

This year also passed.

The ninth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Chunjia was the most suitable day calculated by the Qin Tianjian for Minghui and Yunxike. The entire imperial capital had not celebrated the New Year celebrations yet, and this rare joyous event was ushered in.

As the only daughter-in-law of Emperor Xiaozong, an important archway for Chunjia to repay the kindness and treat the flesh and blood of the late emperor, Princess Minghui's wedding ceremony was extravagant. , was completed under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry for emergency repairs. It covers a vast area, with gorgeous pavilions, and a large number of rare birds and animals with beautiful meanings are raised in the garden.

And on this day, on the way from the gate of the palace to the Dachang Princess' mansion, every few steps, there will be a pair of octagonal flower pots with coral-red pastel flower and bird patterns lined up beside the road, in which red plum blossoms of different shapes are planted. Blooming slowly against the wind and snow, looking in the heavy snow all over the sky, it seems that clusters of small flames light up happily all the way.

There are also palace people accompanying the eldest princess on the carriage, throwing official money in baskets along the way, attracting countless people to scramble outside the barriers, wishing the eldest princess and the son-in-law to love each other and grow old forever.

When I arrived at the Dachang Princess's mansion, I saw rare treasures everywhere, and there were more than a dozen pots of peonies and peonies that were bloomed by the greenhouse, which cost countless manpower and material resources.

This kind of extravagant cover is rare even in the palace.

After all, from Shenzong to Xiaozong to Chunjia, none of them liked to enjoy themselves. The imperial confinement was influenced by the emperor, even if some people enjoyed it more, they did not dare to overdo it.

Now Chunjia wants to let the world know that he never treated the late emperor's flesh and blood badly, but he must not publicize it so that everyone can see how much courtesy and good things he has given Minghui?

Therefore, Minghui was not grateful, but felt that if Xiaozong was alive, shouldn't these be what he should have done?

She had a cold face, even after being sent to the bridal chamber, she was flattered and joked by many Yun family members, but she was not smiling.

But that was already a relief.

After all, everyone thought that she either made a fuss when she was dressing up before she descended, or when the palace carriages were moving and many people were watching, or she broke up when she was paying homage... Now she entered the bridal chamber, surrounded by nothing but the The person is the trusted female relative that Yun's specially arranged here. If there is any trouble at this moment, it cannot be said that it will have no impact, but it is all within control.

So all the female relatives also pretended not to see the displeasure of the Eldest Princess, and only picked topics that would not irritate her, and talked to her in a flattering tone.

Minghui didn't bother to pay attention to them.

These people were well prepared, and they weren't embarrassed. Anyway, they did their best to accompany her for a long time, and when they saw the son-in-law coming, they retired.

In the palace, the emperor received a report saying that although the Eldest Princess was in a bad mood, nothing had happened to her, so she let go of her heart and said: "The first emperor is just such a prostitute, and her natal family is the Ji family. I don't think it would be easy for Jia En to act, but now that I have descended to Yun's son, it's just a matter of my mind. I just hope that she will have a good life with her son-in-law in the future, and live in peace and beauty. When I go down, I can also explain to the late emperor. "

Everyone said that the emperor was benevolent, and his love and sympathy for the eldest princess and the eldest princess were obvious to all. The late emperor would definitely be satisfied when he saw it below.

Even so, when Chunjia talked to Yun Fenghuang in private, she still said: "Minghui was protected by the common man Ji Sheng earlier, her temperament has always been pure, she has no city, the more she is like this, the less she will easily let go of her grievances. Because this marriage was arranged by me, she will definitely not be satisfied, but she didn't make a fuss at the wedding, either she was brewing a plan that she felt was more secure, or she was waiting for a better opportunity. All in all, this little ancestor is afraid It won't stop."

"Princess Shan is making a fuss, the wedding is over, what noise can there be?" Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that it would be best for Minghui to make a fuss with all his might, and the whole Yun family would be inseparable from the troubles!

On the mouth, he said softly, "Mr. Yun has always been loyal to His Majesty, and will definitely help her persuade her. Besides, the Eldest Princess is simple-minded, and can't think of any serious plans. At most, she will cry and persuade her." That's it. In two years, Your Highness, she will have her own heir, so if you give me some kindness, how will she remember those stupid things in the past?"

Chunjia also thinks the same way: "I hope that the new couple will get along well and give birth to a precious child early."

The imperial concubine felt that although it was impossible for the eldest princess Minghui to keep her own place, even if she made a fuss, it would happen after a while. Even the empress dowager who knew why Minghui didn't bother at the wedding thought so.

As a result, Minghui was beyond their expectations this time: she made a big mess the day after the wedding!

If it is a bride from an ordinary family, of course she will accompany her husband to visit Weng Gu on the second day of the wedding, and meet the whole family by the way.

But the royal golden branches and jade leaves are different from ordinary people. Here in Minghui, it is the parents-in-law and the whole family who come to visit her.

It's not just the in-laws, the patriarch of the Yun clan, Duke Yi, also made preparations with the family, and handed over a post to wait for the summons.

Minghui really met them, although she didn't say a few words, and her attitude was not warm, but at least she had to leave. For the Yun clan who knew her deep feelings for Chunjia, it was all the same. good thing.

The problem is, the eight-month-pregnant son-in-law of the Duke of Yi's mansion showed signs of fetal instability after returning to the mansion of the Duke of Yi. He hurriedly asked the doctor to take a look, and found out that he had eaten something that should not be eaten. . This little Han family came from a rich family, and her mother-in-law was her aunt, because she was not loved by Yun Qike in the first place, and after marriage, Yun Fenghuang happened again, which led to a cold relationship between husband and wife, and it was so difficult to conceive such a child, and she was even forced to conceive. It is conceivable how much attention is paid to the decision to be a male fetus!

Therefore, after hearing the doctor's words, the master and servant were very shocked, and while intensively investigating what went wrong, they reported it to Mrs. Yi Guogong.

The Duke's Mansion was in a hurry, but found that everything in his own mansion was as usual, and he had to suspect that when he went to pay Ming Hui's greetings, there was something wrong with the tea served by the dowry maid.

This kind of thing is not easy to make noise without evidence, especially Minghui's special status, even if she really did it, it is impossible for the Yun family to make her pay any price.

Therefore, Mrs. Yi Guogong did not dare to disturb the eldest princess and the people around the eldest princess, but asked Yunxike's mother to try to pass the word into the eldest princess's mansion, and told Yunxike.

Since Yunxi Ke was valued by Chunjia, Xu Yiguochao's most valued empress was naturally not an incompetent person. While coaxing Minghui, she sent people to the small kitchen for a thorough investigation. It didn't take much effort. The truth was found out: it was indeed Ming Hui who ordered people to put abortion things in Xiao Han's tea!

And it's the kind specially for the forbidden palace, and it can't be imitated by outsiders.

After all, the Yun family was loyal, so Yunxi Ke discussed with Yi Guogong's mansion, but he didn't say anything, and Yi Guogong personally found an excuse to ask Chunjia to see him, and reported the future and some evidence.

Chunjia simply said: "..."

He suppressed his anger and appeased Duke Yi for a while, and promised to give Yun an explanation when Minghui Sanchao returned home, and sent several imperial doctors who were best at maternity and infants from the Imperial Hospital to Duke Yi's mansion to protect Xiao Han. At last, watching Yi Guo announce his retreat, he grabbed the inkstone in front of him and threw it at His Highness!

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Yan Yin hurriedly stepped forward to appease, "His Royal Highness is also momentarily confused..."

"Why was she so confused at the moment!" Chunjia sneered, "She was specially made for me to see!!! I got the throne from Xiaozong, so I should repay the three of them, but could it be that I caused Xiaozong to have no heirs?" ?! Why does she think that I owe her all my life?!"

Yan Yin also felt that Princess Minghui was in a daze, even if she thought the emperor owed her, not to mention that Chunjia was sitting on the throne now, if he turned his back and refused to admit it, what would happen to Xiaozong's parents and daughters?

Could it be possible to pull Xiaozong up from the imperial mausoleum and let them decide?

Why waste the emperor's favor so much?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is confused. Fortunately, the Yun family is loyal and has not said anything so far." Yan Yin calmed down and continued to persuade, "Besides, the son and daughter of the Duke of Yi just moved their fetuses, and now the imperial doctors are rushing over. It is true, and it may not necessarily cause an accident. As the saying goes, auspicious people have their own appearance, maybe they are just safe and sound? If your majesty is furious and angry, if it spreads out, it will be exposed instead. Therefore, please calm down your majesty... In fact, the servants have a The matter is puzzling, although His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess dislikes the Yun family because of her anger, why did she target the son and daughter-in-law of Yi Guogong? After all, the eldest son-in-law is only the cousin of the eldest princess' son-in-law, not even a relative in the same room. "

Chunjia was still angry, but she was distracted, and said with a sneer, "What can't be figured out? It's just that I think the Yun family is the one I rely on most now, Duke Yi. She can't do anything to Duke Yi." The couple set their hands on Duke Yi's daughter-in-law to sow discord between me and Duke Yi!"

Having said that, he hesitated for a while, and asked someone to invite Yun Fenghuang.

It's not that he was careless, after all Yunfenghuang had too many criminal records, and the grievances of the Duke of Tongyi were also very deep.

Earlier when he decided to send Minghui to Yun's son, the reason why he specifically told Yun Fenghuang personally was to use practical actions to imply that this beloved concubine should not make small moves.

At this moment, Ming Hui just dropped, targeting Xiao Han's pregnancy. It cannot be said that Yun Fenghuang must have done it, but the emperor somewhat doubted whether Yun Fenghuang deliberately misled the eldest princess and asked her to do this?

After a while, Yun Fenghuang came over, and after the salute, the emperor still liked her, and after sending her away, he euphemistically expressed his doubts. Yun Fenghuang didn't feel sorry for her at first, but he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately began to think about why Minghui did this Do?

After a while when I understood, my complexion suddenly sank, and I didn't go into details with Chunjia, I just said: "If this matter comes from my concubine's behest, I will make my own death miserable, and the children under my knees will die without a burial. The land, His Majesty is satisfied?"

After finishing speaking, he left with his hands, ignoring Chunjia's call.

This made Chunjia embarrassed and annoyed, he saw that Yun Fenghuang was really wronged, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and he was ashamed to blame her for her disrespect in front of the imperial court, instead, he asked Yan Yin to open his private treasury to get some high-quality treasures as gifts As an apology, on the other hand, a real boredom and hatred towards Minghui came into being.

Because originally Minghui was the daughter of Emperor Xiaozong, in the eyes of Chunjia, who thought she was not ungrateful, she must be extra tolerant. In addition, Minghui was still young when he ascended the throne, and there was also a relationship between siblings for many years. Yes, so even though he planned to kill the Ji family and the common man Ji Sheng, he has always held a tolerant and protective attitude towards Minghui.

But now he is really angry with this sister!

The government affairs were dealt with in a hurry that day, and Chunjia rushed to Huanhua Hall to explain.

As a result, when we got to the door and saw that the door was closed, the palace guard inside said tremblingly: "Your Majesty just took a rest and said that no one is allowed to open it."

This is also why Yun Fenghuang has always been very fond of her, and Chunjia can't screw her in many things, which gave her confidence to stop Sheng Jia.

For example, at this moment, Chunjia was stunned for a while, sighed, she really didn't intend to get angry or force her way in, she just asked about the situation of the imperial concubine through the door, and left in dismay.

After leaving Huanhua Palace, he didn't go to other people's places, and went back to Taichu Palace to resettle.

This was the first day, and he went again the next day, but was still stopped.

Chunjia only thought that the imperial concubine was still angry, and went back to Taichu Palace.

The third day was the day when Princess Minghui returned home, and Chunjia got up early in the morning to wait for her.

When the time came, the Eldest Princess was not seen for a long time, so I sent someone to Qingci Palace to inquire, and found out that the Empress Dowager left the Eldest Princess for lunch with her son-in-law, so she had no plan to come to the emperor.

Yan Yin reported cautiously: "The empress dowager said that she knows that your majesty is busy with everything, anyway, the eldest princess is in the imperial capital. Whenever your majesty misses you, you can meet her at any time. I won't let your majesty and her son-in-law come over to disturb you today. Your Majesty."

Chunjia was expressionless for a moment, but she didn't get angry, she just said: "No matter how busy I am, how could I neglect the matter of my step-sister?"

He got up and ordered to drive to Qingci Palace, "I couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of the imperial grandmother, but I also missed my step-sister, so I went to sit in front of the imperial grandmother and greet her by the way."

A while later, he blocked Minghui in the Qingci Palace, and it could be seen that she had been going well in the past few days, probably there were a lot of people coaxing her from the Yun family, unlike in the palace, since the concubine Ji Sheng left, she It seems that her status has not changed, she is still a golden branch and jade leaf, but the harem does not hold her as much as before.

So at this moment, Ming Hui actually felt radiant.

"Grandmother, I have something to say to Minghui alone." Chunjia felt more and more uncomfortable seeing her like this. Duke Yi's sons and daughters are still doing their best to keep the baby. I fell out with the imperial concubine, but you Have a good time?

He didn't bother with the Empress Dowager, and asked straight to the point.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said, "You're such a grown-up, yet you're still mysterious? What can't the Ai family listen to?"

"It's not that the imperial grandmother can't listen, it's because I'm afraid of disturbing the cleanliness of your old man's place." Chunjia said lightly, "Otherwise, if it's inconvenient for you, it's the same when I call Minghui to Taichu Palace later."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, before she could answer, Minghui readily agreed, saying: "Then let's go to the side hall and talk."
