Chapter 412 Pillow Style
Chapter 412 Pillow Style
"Can this still happen?"
Hearing Leng Qingyu and Mrs. Tian talking about this topic, everyone else also leaned over to listen.
Speaking of which, although outsiders think that they married well, how many of them did not come from aristocratic families?
Although Leng Qingyu and Madam Tian were not from aristocratic families, they were both wealthy and well-off.
After getting married, they should have continued to live a life of luxury and worry-free.
However, as they grow older and their looks fade, they gradually develop a sense of crisis, fearing that they are out of favor and will be replaced by newcomers.
If the imperial court really enacted such a law to prevent these men from getting more and more and to protect the interests of the mistresses of the house, which woman would not be tempted?
"Mrs. Leng, is this what you said feasible?"
"That's right. All the people working in the court are men. How could they make laws specifically to restrain themselves?"
"That is indeed impossible."
After a few discussions, everyone became discouraged.
Leng Qingyu said, "Who said it's not possible! Although all the people working in the court are men, they still have to listen to the one at the top, right?"
"Mrs. Leng is saying..."
Women are not allowed to discuss state affairs, let alone such a sensitive issue.
But they all understood what Leng Qingyu meant.
The little grandson of the emperor is now in the Prince Qin's Mansion, living under the supervision of Madam Leng.
If Leng Qingyu could persuade the little grandson of the emperor, then it would be just a matter of time before he succeeded to the throne.
"By the way, I heard that although the little grandson has been living in the Qinwang Mansion, he has always been loved by the Ruiwang and listens to the Ruiwang in everything, right?"
Mrs. Gao asked tentatively.
If the little grandson of the emperor listens to Prince Rui in everything, Leng Qingyu's words would be like looking at the moon in the water, which would be useless.
Leng Qingyu understood what Madam Gao meant and said with a smile: "Changan is of royal blood after all. He is concerned about the country and the people at a young age, and always puts the interests of the people first.
And this child has strong empathy.
After arriving in the capital, I don’t know where I heard about my master’s story.”
Leng Qingyu took the initiative to talk about Lu Tingen, which surprised everyone present.
Leng Qingyu seemed not to notice everyone's gazes, and continued, "He heard about my master's affairs and thought that my master had a concubine outside and no longer cared about the mansion. The child hugged me and cried for a long time.
They said that my grandmother was such a good person and worked so hard, she shouldn't be treated like this.
Men are busy with state affairs outside, and women are also worried about trivial matters at home. "
At this point, Leng Qingyu smiled.
"Later, I explained the misunderstanding to him, and the little grandson was no longer so sad.
However, he said at the time that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely make a law to guarantee the status of the women in the harem.
So the thing I just mentioned was not something I came up with, but something that this kid brought up!"
"what?"
The ladies were even more surprised.
How could a little kid have such an idea?
It is so rare to find someone who can truly care about them.
Because of this thought, the balance in Mrs. Gao's heart has tilted.
If one really had to choose between the third prince and the little grandson to become the future emperor, the little grandson would definitely be more suitable.
However...Mrs. Gao thought of her master's instructions again.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Madam Leng, how did this little grandson of the emperor end up wandering outside? Why haven't I heard about it before?"
Since this question concerns royal secrets, everyone became interested as soon as it was asked.
"Yes, yes. How did the little grandson of the emperor end up wandering outside? How did he grow up there?"
"Does the little grandson remember what happened before?"
The more courageous ones asked directly: "Isn't the little emperor's grandson coming back this time to avenge his father?"
……
Leng Qingyu waited until everyone finished asking questions before he spoke: "What happened back then was quite complicated and it's hard to explain it in a few words. To put it simply, before the prince got into trouble, he sent the little grandson away, which saved the child's life.
As for revenge..."
Leng Qingyu paused deliberately when she spoke here, and the ladies present all showed nervousness on their faces.
"The little grandson of the emperor is a man of great righteousness, but the revenge that should be taken must still be taken. Moreover, as a son, it is only natural for me to avenge my father."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the ladies all changed.
Leng Qingyu continued, "But every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If someone hadn't deliberately framed him, the prince wouldn't have fallen into that situation.
Now the instigator has revealed his true colors, and the emperor has ordered the third prince to be imprisoned in the clan house. As long as this man receives a fair trial, the prince will have avenged his great hatred.
As for the others,
Leng Qingyu looked around and said, "For people like us, we have no idea of the whole story, so it's understandable that we were deceived for a while.
The little grandson of the emperor can naturally tell the difference."
"Yes, yes, yes. My master had no idea what happened back then. He only knew that the emperor was furious with the prince and placed him under house arrest in the prince's mansion. As a court official, I must help the emperor solve his problems."
Mrs. Qiao responded immediately.
The other ladies also nodded frequently.
Madam Zhao agreed, "Madam Qiao is right. Speaking of which, my master once secretly shed tears in the study room. He felt that it was a pity for the prince."
"Who says it's not true? My master also told me secretly that the prince must have been wrongly accused.
But at that time, my master was a lowly person and had no say in the matter."
"that is,"
Seeing that everyone was disassociating themselves from the case, Madam Gao also hurriedly said, "My master has always believed that the prince is innocent, but he cannot go to the northern border to find proof for the prince. Now if the emperor can overturn the case for the prince, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"That's it."
Several ladies expressed their feelings, and Leng Qingyu smiled and said, "You wouldn't know it until you tell me that there are so many people who are complaining about the prince behind his back.
To be honest, because the little grandson now lives in my house, I pay a little more attention to this matter.
With this concern, he discovered that there were so many people in the court supporting the third prince.
Those who support the Third Prince may have been his accomplices. Prince Rui has been investigating this matter, and once he finds out, he will definitely not let them go. "
Leng Qingyu spoke in a very soft voice, but his words carried a weight of a thousand pounds.
We can let bygones be bygones. If we still support the Third Prince now, we are going against Prince Rui.
Once the young grandson succeeds to the throne, these people will not have a good ending.
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Leng Qingyu smiled and said, "But these are things that men have to consider. We women just need to take care of our own little piece of land."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Everyone agreed.
This rare meeting ended after mutual testing.
After Mrs. Gao returned home, she immediately conveyed Leng Qingyu's words to her husband.
"From what they said, they don't care about what happened in the past anymore. It all depends on who they stand on now!"
Mrs. Gao concluded.
Mr. Gao nodded, "I understand what King Rui means. I'll think about it again!"
If it were in the past, after Mr. Gao expressed his considerations, Mrs. Gao would never continue to interfere.
But what happened today has already made Mrs. Gao biased in her mind.
When she heard her master say that he would consider it, she quickly said, "In my opinion, there is no need to consider this matter any further.
The Emperor now regards the Third Prince as a thorn in his side. Even if it were not for the sake of his little grandson, he would not let him go. Even if Lord Fang and the others tried their best, they might not be able to save the situation.
On the other hand, the little grandson has the support of Prince Rui and is loved by the emperor. It would be wise to choose to fight with the little grandson!"
Mr. Gao looked at his wife with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.
Mrs. Gao shut up immediately.
"I made a mistake. Master, please think about it carefully."
Madam Gao and her daughter turned to leave, and Master Gao suddenly caught sight of the jars in their hands and asked, "Is what you are holding the reason why Madam Leng asked you to go?"
Mrs. Gao retracted her hand slightly, then took out the small jade jar in her hand.
"Yeah, that's it. They say it's some magical facial cream, but I guess it doesn't have the effects they say it does."
The daughter also nodded and said, "That's right, it's a bit too mysterious to say that you can look younger after using it."
"Of course I am. I have been using rouge and powder for half my life, and I have never seen anything like this."
Mr. Gao looked at the small jade jar and only felt that the jar was light and delicate. He did not see anything special about it, so he said, "No matter how effective it is, since it is Madam Leng's family business, you should support it appropriately and get closer to the little emperor's grandson's faction."
"Master, have you decided to stand on the side of the little grandson?"
Mrs. Gao looked delighted.
Mr. Gao nodded and said, "What you just said is exactly what I was thinking."
After saying that, he looked outside and said, "I look at the sky of Daliang and I'm afraid it's going to change."
……
After seeing off the ladies, Ye Xinran asked, "Mother said that she wanted to win over the noble families in Beijing. I don't think the husband of Mrs. Tian holds an important position, so why did she specially invite him?"
Leng Qingyu scratched Ye Xinran's nose and said, "You figured this out."
She explained, "Although Mrs. Tian was not from a high-class family, her husband really did something wrong, so many wives of officials knew about their family affairs and would often talk about them.
In fact, the main reason for inviting her here today was to give the other ladies a warning.
They think that what happens in the court has nothing to do with them, but I want to let them know that who becomes the emperor will affect their vital interests.
"Let them understand the relationship, and then flatter their masters!"
Ye Xinran understood immediately.
"That's what it means."
Leng Qingyu said.
"Mom, I find you are so smart!" Ye Xinran praised sincerely.
Leng Qingyu glanced at her and said, "Don't pretend to be ignorant. This is the idea of my good son-in-law, your good husband."
Ye Xinran blushed immediately, "I haven't seen him for several days, how would I know."
"You two!"
Leng Qingyu couldn't help but sigh, "After these few busy days, you can spend some quality time together."
Ye Xinran nodded.
"Just wait until everything is settled."
"Speaking of it,"
Leng Qingyu looked at her daughter and asked, "What's the difference between the magic facial cream you made this time and the snow facial cream you sold before?"
Ye Xinran shook her head, "There is not much difference, the main ingredients are the same, but the scar removal effect is weakened.
When Li Mo and I discussed it before, we were planning to set the price higher. Now, in order to win over those ladies, we have to temporarily lower the price.
After they have used them well, they will definitely come to me to buy them. At that time, it will depend on whose master treats the little grandson well, and who will get it."
Leng Qingyu smiled and said, "We have taken a multi-pronged approach. In our opinion, the throne belongs to Chang'an."
When the two returned home, they just saw Chang'an's carriage parked in front of the gate of the Prince Qin's Mansion.
Zhang Qian lifted the curtain and carried Chang'an down from the carriage.
Chang'an had a serious look on his face, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't even notice Ye Xinran and Leng Qingyu not far away.
"Chang'an!"
Ye Xinran called his name, which brought Changan back to his senses.
Changan saw Ye Xinran and immediately opened his arms and ran towards him. Ye Xinran immediately warned him, "Slow down, don't fall."
Changan hugged Ye Xinran's waist and rubbed his head against her before saying, "It's still best to be with Auntie. Although Auntie asked me to treat Grandpa Huang as Auntie, Changan doesn't like it at all."
"Did Chang'an suffer any injustice in the palace today?"
Ye Xinran asked Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian immediately replied, "The little grandson followed his usual habit of studying in the imperial study and then having lunch with the emperor. Nothing unusual happened."
Seeing that Zhang Qian didn't know, Ye Xinran turned her gaze to Chang'an.
Chang An lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said slowly, "Don't be angry if I tell you this, auntie."
"Ah."
Ye Xinran responded.
Changan: "Today, the Emperor asked me when my aunt could accompany me to the palace. I didn't know how to answer him. He asked me this several times before."
Ye Xinran recalled his cold and slippery eyes on the day when he treated the emperor, and couldn't help feeling a chill.
She raised her hand and touched Changan's head, and asked, "What did you answer?"
Changan whispered, "I just said that I don't know the way to the palace yet, and I can't let my aunt accompany me into the palace until I remember everything.
Originally, the Emperor agreed.
But today he asked again, and said that there were palace maids and eunuchs leading the way, so it didn't matter if I couldn't remember.
Tell me to take my aunt there tomorrow!"
"He is such a shameless bastard..."
Leng Qingyu couldn't help but want to curse, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately stopped and turned to look around.
Ye Xinran said: "Mom, don't be angry, let's go home first and talk about it after we get home."
