Chapter 903 Imperial Concubine
Xu Liang didn't know why the palace summoned him.
When he arrived at the front hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Xun was already waiting in the study. Seeing that Xie Mingxi was also there, Xu Liang heaved a sigh of relief and greeted Xiao Xun. After Xiao Xun gave him his seat, he said, "I thought the emperor was The important minister is going to Chuzhou immediately."
"Then when do you plan to go?" Now that he was talking about business, Xiao Xun said, "You have to know that Wu Feng's army is the one who turned against Chen Min. If the court doesn't do something, everyone will dare to turn against it in the future. Anything can easily arouse their resentment."
Xu Liang hurriedly said seriously, "Your Majesty, all those who followed Chen Min's rebellion that day have been killed, and none of them remained. Today's Wu Feng Army exists in name only, what I mean is that the name Wu Feng Army should not be used. Yes, marry a new number."
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to salute, "Please give me your name, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Xun didn't bother to think about it, so he said, "Then give it the name Youyun!"
He beckoned Xu Liang to sit down, "I'll write two words to you later, and I'll talk about the business first. It's like this. The Xie family is your fifth aunt, who is worried about marrying. You think of a way. She will go back to Long'an Temple to offer incense today. , and you, just help her be a matchmaker, you can't write two words of "thank you" in one stroke, and you have to do things beautifully and satisfy both parties."
Xu Liang was taken aback immediately, he took a sharp breath, "Your Majesty, does the Empress know about this?"
"My sister doesn't know, and you are not allowed to let my sister know. You know, I know, the emperor knows about this matter, and no one else is allowed to know."
After all, it is not something glorious, how can a big man help others to be a matchmaker? Xu Liang had to agree.
Xu Liang scratched his head, "Okay, I know, but let me know the reason! I'm not an outsider."
Xie Mingxi simply told what happened, "She went too far, and the second sister even slapped her. She insisted that the second sister apologize to her. Are you willing to vent your anger on my second sister?"
"Did you talk to brother-in-law like that? When can I not say it?" Xu Liang quickly stood up, "Your Majesty, I'm going to get busy now, otherwise, she will be in trouble if she can't wait for anyone to leave. "
After going out, Xu Liang's eyes turned frosty. He couldn't help but think of Xie Zhihui's unhappy appearance yesterday. She refused to tell him, probably because it was too embarrassing.
How can a sister-in-law miss her brother-in-law, it's still a family! It's no wonder that she is so angry, the empress has always been kind to her sisters, so sister Hui must be so angry!
While going out, Xu Liang was thinking about who would be the most suitable. Since she was his aunt, he couldn't let her become a concubine, otherwise, he would lose face to his two sisters.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Liang left the palace, he met Xiao Huai, the king of Mengjin County.
The old county king offended Xie Zhiwei back then, and was locked up and taken to Beijing. Before the three divisions could interrogate him, he feared his crime and committed suicide in the imperial prison. The emperor thought of his clan and let his son Xiao Huai inherit the title. It has been three or four years since then , Xiao Huai is seventeen years old, and he is also born with a good-looking talent, but because of his suspicion with Xie Zhiwei, no one dares to take care of him, and he has not yet married.
Xu Liang stepped forward with his horse in his belly, Xiao Huai was going to dismount to salute Xu Liang, which frightened Xu Liang, "Your Majesty, are you going to send the future to prison?"
Xiao Huai hurriedly cupped his hands and said humbly, "My lord, you are the brave general in front of the emperor, and I can't even flatter you. You are too polite."
The two brothers are running hand in hand.
Xie Zhiwei asked Du Gui to go to Xie's house and ordered Mrs. Hong and Xie Congyun to enter the palace.
Xie Congyun dressed up well before walking to the second door. When he heard that Xie Zhiwei had summoned him, he stomped his feet angrily, "I won't enter the palace, hmph, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
It was Li Chun who came to pass the decree. Seeing this appearance, he smiled and said to Mrs. Hong, "It's also thanks to the empress's natal family. If someone from another family is replaced, it's really hard to say. The slave is alive." At this age, I have never seen anyone who dares to disobey the order."
This beating finally made Mrs. Hong look serious, and scolded Xie Congyun, "Nonsense, what do you look like?"
She went up and stuffed a purse for Li Chun, "Elder-in-law, we will follow you into the palace!"
Xie Congyun wanted to escape from the carriage several times, Mrs. Hong said, "What's the use of going to Long'an Temple now? You're looking at the empress and not going, and the emperor is alone?"
Xie Congyun's face turned red. She was not embarrassed by her mother's puncture, and hugged her mother's arm, "Mother, if I enter the palace, can I be named an imperial concubine?"
Mrs. Hong couldn't help but think, what would it be like if her daughter was named imperial concubine?
It's also Xie's family, but look at the long house, full of dignitaries, even the eleven-year-old Brother Xi is a ninth-rank follower, although the accompanying reading is not very useful now, it is impossible to really enter the palace to accompany the prince to study, but at any rate It's also fame!
Xie Zhiwei heard that Xu Liang pulled King Mengjin to speak, so he guessed what the three of Xiao Xun were up to. She knew that Xiao Xun was very proud and hated being missed. If Xie Congyun was not her cousin, if there was a trouble, her face would be ugly, and she might not deal with it so gently.
She can't really let Xiao Xun and the others do such a thing. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If there is any news, the reputation of the Xie family will be ruined. What face will the Xie family's daughter have in the future?
Xie Zhiwei simply took the bottom line and called Aunt Hong and Xie Congyun into the palace.
She was promoted to the seat of Kunning Palace. As soon as Xie Congyun came in, he saw her sitting on the high phoenix seat, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. He didn't even have a grand ceremony for conferring, so he couldn't wait to put on a mother's ceremony To whom is the world to be seen?
Mrs. Hong inevitably thought more, but she had no choice but to pull her daughter forward and saluted respectfully, "I pay my respects to the empress!"
Xie Zhiwei raised his hand, and Bai Ling stepped forward to help Mrs. Hong up, and sat on the chair at the bottom, while the maids served tea.
"I also heard that Fifth Sister felt resentful towards me because I didn't reward her with this jade bracelet?"
"Empress, I don't know who spread the rumor behind her back. There is absolutely no such thing. Even if there is, it is because Sister Yun is ignorant. The Empress is the elder sister, so she must not be as fussy as her. If it spreads , It's really embarrassing!"
Mrs. Hong was not afraid of being ashamed if it was spread, but she was afraid that if the word spread from the palace, what good reputation would her daughter have? How to have a good marriage in the future?
"It's natural, can I still argue with Fifth Sister?" Xie Zhiwei's sharp eyes fell on Xie Congyun, the cold light in his eyes flashed past, and he smiled and asked Xie Congyun some concerns, "It's rare to come in Gong, I heard that the Imperial Garden is not bad, I will ask Nanzhang to accompany you to go shopping!"
