Wu's face changed a few times when he saw the palace in front of him, and finally turned around and said, "I don't want to stay in the palace, go and tell the emperor that Shaosheng and Shaotai are both grown up, so I'll just live with them."
Mother Liu, who was sent to watch over her, smiled and said, "This is also the emperor's filial piety. After all, the concubine has served the old master for more than 20 years, and all the officials in the court are watching. The emperor should be responsible for your retirement."
How about that?
She instructed those people to go up to be an empress dowager, not a concubine.
Now that Qi Xiuyuan has set her identity as the concubine, what binding force does she have on him?
Isn't staying in the palace and letting him round and flatten it?
Mrs Wu pushed away Madam Liu's hand and said solemnly, "Anyway, I don't live here."
Mrs Wu rushed out, and Li Jinghua appeared in front of her in full costume.
Although the two sides rarely deal with each other, Mrs Wu was her mother-in-law after all. Mrs Wu was not afraid of her and raised her chin to look at her, "Miss Li, you dare to stop me?"
Li Jinghua had just heard the story of Qi Xiuyuan's childhood, and had a bad sense of the Wu family, so she naturally did not save face for her at this time, "Taifei Wu, this palace was given to you by the emperor, from now on, you can rest assured here. Yes."
"Miss Li!" Mrs Wu shouted angrily.
"Bold," Wen Cui took a step forward, frowned and shouted: "Wu Taifei, you can call the queen's surname directly? You are just a concubine. If it wasn't for the fact that you served the old master for more than 20 years, the emperor and the queen took pity on you. You, just because you have murdered King Rongjun once was enough to behead ten times, the emperor and the queen are kind, not only are you not grateful, but you dare to call the queen like that!"
Wu's face changed drastically, she looked to the left and right, but saw that everyone bowed their heads, and no one stood out for her.
Li Jinghua waved his hand and said to her: "If Concubine Wu is obedient, it will be good, if not, naturally there is a better place than this palace."
Wu's face pale and said: "You, you can't treat me like this, I am Qi Xiuyuan's stepmother and his mother, he is unfilial!"
Li Jinghua raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The righting of the concubine's room needs the approval letter of the mistress's mother's family, and whether it is from the yamen's documents or the family tree, you are only the concubine of the father-in-law. How can you say it after the room?"
Li Jinghua said: "As for you stealing from the Qi Palace Mistress for 20 years, the emperor does not intend to pursue it now, but if you insist on making trouble, the emperor may not change his mind."
"By the way, the emperor has designated the second uncle and the third uncle as Marquis of Anle and Marquis of Anping. If the concubine wants to see them and talk to this palace, this palace will let people come in to greet you according to the rules."
Wu's face was pale, her two sons were in Qi Xiuyuan's hands, and she only now deeply felt the pain of being a knife and me being a fish.
But that was the beginning for her.
When she was with Qi Feng, she seldom went out for walks because of her bad name, but it was not like she didn't walk around.
As long as no one mentions it deliberately, no one will know that she was a concubine, so she occasionally goes out to banquets and shopping, but when she enters the palace, it seems that she is the only one in the whole palace. Don't talk to her without asking them.
Even asked them questions and answered dryly, without a caring person by her side, she was completely isolated.
Coupled with the fear in the deep palace, Wu Shi couldn't stand it after only half a month, and strongly demanded to see his two sons.
But people are not the ones she can see when she wants to. Li Jinghua has been delaying until the Chinese New Year to let her see the faces of her two sons.
But seeing it is worse than not seeing it.
The Wu family was terrified, and Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai, who had been bullied by Qi Xiuyuan since childhood, were even more terrified.
At first, they also thought that they would become children of the royal family, not only to be a prince, but also to show off their grand plans.
But Qi Xiuyuan neglected them at first, and after the courtiers gradually demanded to reward them, he just gave them a marquis without real power.
Compared with Qi Haoran, who has military power, it is extremely difficult for them to even enter the palace, and their mother has also changed from a step room to a concubine room, and they are even more from a direct son to a concubine.
The old things in Qi Mansion were turned up one by one, and Qi Shaotai paid it back, but Qi Shaosheng remembered Qi Xiuyuan's fierceness when he was a child, and the words he said when he stared at him with red eyes, he said, " My mother was killed by your aunt!"
If Zhu Wan was really killed by his mother, would Qi Xiuyuan, who was already the emperor, let them go?
Qi Shaosheng began to blame his mother, and this New Year's Eve he brought this emotion into the palace to see the Wu family.
Although Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai were summoned to the palace to attend the palace banquet, Qi Xiuyuan did not summon them alone, but only had them pass a message to them, so that they could take time to see Concubine Wu, show their filial piety, and be able to stay by the emperor's side at all times, even staying overnight. Fan Zijin is in stark contrast.
Those who didn't know thought that Fan Zijin was the emperor's younger brother.
Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai felt even more resentment in their hearts when they saw it. They didn't dare to show their faces under Qi Xiuyuan's eyelids.
And Wu shi has only entered the palace for less than half a year, and she is almost ten years old. She lives by missing her son. Seeing her two sons at this time is like grabbing the last straw.
But when the two children spoke, they blamed her for being so bad at Qi Xiuyuan back then, so that their brothers had a bad relationship, and now they still need to live a life of trepidation.
Wu's face was full of shock, and his lips trembled as he said, "You blame me? Even you blame me? But if I'm not cruel to him, can you be the son of the Qi family? Can you be held in the palm of your hand to grow so big?"
Qi Shaosheng was a little irritable, and said harshly: "Taofei, what's the use of talking about this now? The most important thing is how to get rid of the anger in the eldest brother's heart, otherwise the sons will have a rare life of peace."
"Yes, mother," Qi Shaotai said with a frown, "Second brother and I can't stay at home all the time, we have to find a real job, or just be a powerless lord, who recognizes us? But to be an official, we must Got past the big brother."
Wu's heart was chilled, and she vaguely understood why Qi Xiuyuan let her see her two sons at this time, she asked blankly: "Then what do you say?"
Qi Shaosheng frowned and said, "The crux of the eldest brother's heart is nothing more than his mother's death. It's better for my mother to explain it to him. After all, it's better to solve the enemy than it is, and everyone is still a family with the same roots."
Wu Shi smiled and asked, "Explain what? Explain how I killed his mother?"
The faces of the two brothers changed greatly, and Qi Shaosheng's voice changed, "She, did you really kill her?"
Wu Shi slowly put away the smile on her face, wiped a handful of tears, looked at him coldly, and said, "If she doesn't die, where would you get the identity of the direct son, who would know about your second young master in the Qi residence? My son, Don't you think it's too late to ask this question now?"
Qi Shaosheng's face was dark.
Qi Shaotai opened his mouth wide and stood aside with his neck tucked in.
Mr. Wu looked at the sky outside through the window, and said softly, "He wants to torture us to death. You bullied him so much in the past, do you think he will let go of his grudges and become good brothers with you? Stop dreaming, he is busy now. We can't take care of us when dealing with state affairs, but when we take care of it, none of you can escape."
Brother Qi Shaosheng shuddered.
Mr. Wu turned around and grabbed their hands and said, "So, let's go while he can't take care of us, Sheng'er, you said you want to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, so we'll stay in our hometown. When I come back, although I will be poorer, it is better than being frightened here."
"As long as we're not in front of him, he won't be able to remember us. If you raise a few more children, maybe you will be able to make a difference..."
