Vol 2 Chapter 1049: Wronged (three shifts)

"People in the world hold high and low. I ate closed doors in Chang'an Palace one after another. Have you ever thought that if this matter is spread, I will lose face and it will be a small matter.
Xiao Qin'er was annoyed and in a bad mood.
Liu Yi snorted, "You are trying to save face and suffer."
Xiao Qin'er was angry, "I don't want face, how can this family support it? Can you count on you? Tell me about yourself, how many years have been decadent, how long have you not asked about things in the house. Children's Have you ever been concerned about marriage? Weddings and funerals are not costly.
If you lose face, and can continue to communicate with the palace with everyone's face, can those merchants be willing to do business with the palace? I ran far, and ran faster than anyone else. "
While talking, Xiao Qin'er was wronged.
Her eyes were red.
Liu Yi sighed.
Xiao Qin'er rubbed his eyes and said: "Nowadays, no more than before, businesses are willing to cooperate with our palace, and they are willing to share profits, and what they see is face. If face is lost, so many children in the palace will gradually reach the age of marriage. Where do you ask me to pick up the money. It’s not enough to rely on the little money I saved before.
If you can serve as an official in the court and reconcile your relationship with your majesty, I wouldn't have worked so hard and tried my best to get the relationship between the queen and the empress. People think that you are your majesty's own brother, and you have to reuse it. I don't need to worry about it then, someone will come to send you money. "
"You don't accept the kind of money delivered to your door." Liu Yi reminded solemnly.
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "You are like this, and you have not shown up for a long time, so ghosts will give us money."
Liu Yi frowned, "Is the mansion really so difficult? Investing in so many properties for the queen empress, it makes no sense that the mansion has no money!"
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "Did you not listen to what I said to you just now? Investing in the Queen’s Niangniang’s property indeed earns dividends every year, which is enough for the expenses of the mansion. But don’t forget, the children are getting older. There are ten times more places to spend money than in the past.
The girl’s dowry, the buddies’ dowry, do you want money? To marry a wife, do you want to repair the courtyard and rearrange it? Favors, do you want money? Thanks to the small population in the palace, it saved us a lot of money. Otherwise, it would cost twenty thousand taels of silver for a year to talk about the human relations in the palace alone. "
Listening to Xiao Qin'er settle the accounts, Liu Yi's head was big.
He said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, tomorrow I will go to the palace to please my mother, and I will intercede with you by the way."
Xiao Qin'er reminded: "Mother must be exempted from the punishment of copying the Diamond Sutra. You tell the mother that I have already known the mistake. In the future, whenever the clan is a little turbulent, I will send someone to tell Duke Wen."
"If you did this early, how could the queen punish you?" Liu Yi complained about her.
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "It's not because the mother is nagging more and more, every time I enter the palace, I will always be taken down. I also said that I treat the concubine and the concubine harshly. You can say something fair from your conscience, I have never treated you harshly. Concubine and concubine? I really show no pretensions to them. I can't talk about good, but I can never talk about bad. I have no less money to give them."
Liu Yi said twice, "You didn't punish them for kneeling and copying scriptures."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "Who told your concubines and concubines to not abide by the rules and to be embarrassed outside, I naturally have to punish them."
"Don't take a bite of'your concubine'. They are also your concubine, and they have to call you mother."
"Thank you Bumin! Your concubines should have taken care of them. The last time I was beaten by Ruyang, I have been honest for half a year. I have been looking at them recently, and they seem to be rebellious."
"Training the children is the responsibility of the mistress." Liu Yi reminded Xiao Qin'er.
Pooh!
Xiao Qin'er said unceremoniously: "I can indeed help you discipline them, but I am not happy. The discipline is strict, and others say that I treat my concubines and concubines harshly. The discipline is loose, and others should say that I am indifferent and abolish the concubines and concubines. Up.
All in all, I am not a human being inside and out, so I am wrong. Since everything is wrong, I simply do nothing. They only provide food, clothing, shelter, and other aspects of their parental discipline, so it is not my turn to worry. Besides, you don't worry about being a father, I'm an auntie who cares about her. "
This is really ugly and straightforward enough.
Liu Yi rubbed his eyebrows, "I know that you have been working hard all these years, so don't complain."
"Then you don't make demands of me either." Xiao Qin'er sullenly refused to give in.
Liu Yi surrendered, "I don't ask for it, and don't complain."
After several years of living as an otaku, Liu Yi is no longer good at arguing with others.
He didn't even bother to speak.
The otaku life is about to give him up.
However, he feels good about himself.
However, this cannot continue.
There was a vague voice in my heart, telling him so.
Liu Yi was very distressed.
...
Early the next morning, he was neatly dressed, ready to enter the palace to ask for peace.
He asked Xiao Qin'er, "Are you really entering the palace with me?"
Xiao Qin'er shook his head, "You first intercede for me, the queen forgave me, and I will enter the palace again to please peace."
Liu Yi smiled, "I didn't expect you to admit counsel."
Xiao Qin'er grinned, wishing to bite Liu Yi.
Liu Yi took the carriage to the palace, handed the sign, and entered the palace smoothly.
All the way to Weiyang Palace.
There was laughter in the hall.
Liu Yi asked the servant, "Who is there? Could someone enter the palace to please the Queen Mother today?"
"Enlighten the prince, the empress has made a schedule. The toffees take turns to enter the palace to ask for peace, and speak with the queen mother to relieve their boredom. It is Princess Xiao who enters the palace to ask for peace."
"Ms. Xiao?" Liu Yi frowned, and wanted to turn around and leave.
He didn't want to see Xiao Shuer, Xiao Zhaoyi of the first emperor.
However, Lord Wen had already walked out and invited him in.
Liu Yi took a deep breath and could only bite the bullet and walk into the hall.
"Please peace after son gives mother!"
"You are finally willing to go to the palace to visit this palace." The Queen Mother complained again, but also sad and sad.
She gave birth to two sons, one is the emperor and the other is the prince. Everyone takes her fate.
Who could have imagined that the emperor's son would be separated from her and would only come to Weiyang Palace for two days a month to ask for peace. Leave without saying a few words.
The prince's son was languishing all day long, staying at the gate of the palace, and depressed.
Whenever the Queen Mother thinks of her two sons, she feels uncomfortable.
Coupled with the absence of Huyang, no one dared to argue with her anymore, the Queen Mother really felt lonely and her heart became colder.
Even if she was accompanied by the clan girl and the concubine of the first emperor entered the palace to speak to relieve her boredom, she still chose to be alone.
"The son is not filial, let the queen worry." Liu Yi respectfully, never looked at Xiao Shuer.
Empress Dowager Pei waved to him, "Come here and let my palace take a look."
Liu Yi stepped forward and let the Queen Mother Pei look at it.
Xiao Shuer took the opportunity to say goodbye, "The queen mother and the prince must have a lot to say, and the concubine will leave first."
Empress Dowager Pei will naturally not keep her.
Liu Yi watched her leave, frowning slightly, "If the queen mother is not happy to see her, just ask someone to dismiss her. Don't waste your tongue with her."
"It's not as serious as you think. She entered the palace to greet the house, and by the way, she said to relieve her boredom. The little princes and princes left behind by the first emperor are all grown up, and they are expecting a good marriage from the palace. "
"The emperor's brother and the queen have to worry about this, and the mother does not have to worry about them."
The Queen Mother happily said, "The palace listens to you, regardless of them. How can you figure it out today, are you willing to enter the palace to please the palace?"
Liu Yi will inevitably have some deficiencies.
Fortunately, the mother and son, the Queen Mother was indeed a little angry when she learned that Liu Yi was pleading for Xiao Qin'er. But only for a while.
"Why didn't Xiao Qin'er go to the palace to apologize, and even instigate you."
"For one thing, he knew that his son hadn't been in the palace for half a year, and the queen mother missed it very much. Secondly, she was also timid and afraid, afraid that the queen would scold her."
"She also has times of fear, which is really rare. When she violated the yang and yin of the house, how could she not be afraid. Didn't she just look at the house when she was old and lack energy, so she started playing tricks."
"Qin'er really loves to be clever, but she is not bad-hearted. She has always respected her mother's queen and refused to enter the palace before, not because she is perfunctory, but because she is afraid of losing face."
"How can she lose face? Could this palace eat her?"
The Queen Mother snorted, extremely dissatisfied. I don’t know how to find a decent one for excuses.
I don't know if I was sick, I was afraid of getting sick, so I didn't go to the palace to ask for peace several times.
Liu Yi didn't conceal it, "Qin'er ate several times behind closed doors in Chang'an Palace, and felt embarrassed, and later did not enter the palace."
Empress Dowager Pei smiled contemptuously, "Oh! I heard about this. The queen is busy and has no time to chat with her, telling her to eat closed doors, she feels uncomfortable. I am afraid that someone in the palace will gossip and talk about it. She refuses to enter the palace to ask for peace. Look at her for this."
Liu Yi smiled and said: "She is a person of no great promise. The queen does not have to care about her. It is better to avoid her copying the Diamond Sutra."
Empress Dowager Pei squinted Liu Yi, her boss dissatisfied.
"You and Qin'er, when the relationship is so good, you even went to my palace to intercede for her."
"Old couples, old wives, no matter how many contradictions there are, it's just too easy."
"Sure enough, I have grown up. Forget it, that's all, this palace will exempt her from punishment. Go back and tell her that on the first day of the next month, you must enter the palace and give peace to the palace. Otherwise, the palace will punish her."
"Thank you, queen! Don't worry, the first son will enter the palace with her at the beginning of next month, please."
"Next month, you will also enter the palace!" The Queen Mother was very happy.
She was so happy for the first time since Huyang passed away.
Liu Yi accompanied her to lunch again, and did not leave until after a nap.
The Queen Mother slept contentedly.
Liu Yi went out of the palace as an otaku and planned to return to the palace directly.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Shuer would block him halfway.
"Lord Duan, are you free? I have something to tell you." Xiao Shu'er raised the carriage curtain with a smile.
Although it was an inquiry, the attitude was very tough, and Liu Yi could not refuse it.
