Chapter 417: Milk name


Mrs. Wen didn't have the face to enter the palace again to humiliate Li Wei, but shortly after the incident came out, Li Xing accused her of this matter.
"You are now the queen mother. There is no place for me to make any decision to reason, but in this matter, you are indeed cruel and unfeeling. But from a different perspective, you sacrificed your eldest brother, but you have gained a good reputation. , Like the people who are down today, who wouldn't praise you for being wise."
Facing his sister's questioning, Li Wei looked at Li Xing blankly for a long while, and finally said: "Okay, you don't have the right to be beaked about this matter."
These words blocked Li Xing's mouth, and she dared not say anything more, for the first time a rift between the sisters.
After Li Xing retired, Li Wei sat there alone for a long time, until someone reported: "Respect the noble concubine, the princess Ping, please come to please peace time", Li Wei recovered.
She rubbed her eyebrows, pulled her clothes, and went to the Piandian to meet them.
After the concubine Jinggui waited for the salute, the concubine Jinggui asked Princess Ping to hold the child in front of Li Wei and said with a smile: "Queen dowager, look at this grandson."
Li Wei said: "I've seen him, he looks really good. Did you name him right?"
Princess Ping replied: "The prince has drawn up a few names before, but I don't know whether it is a male or a female. I have not decided for a while. I have to consult the prince.
"Does that have a nickname?"
The princess Jinggui spoke: "I haven't taken the nickname yet, but I think that the Queen Mother has a deep Fukuzawa, so I took it to the Queen Mother to see it. Please give the Queen Mother a name, which is also a blessing for this child."
Let her give her a nickname? Li Wei is not good at naming people, she retorted: "I don't read much, I'm afraid I won't get any good names."
Princess Ping said gently: "It's enough to borrow an auspicious word from the Queen Mother."
Li Wei asked the child’s birth date, and then he pondered for a long while and said:
I heard the princesses read the book of Rites the other day. There was a loud voice in the middle and the elephant invisible sentence. I felt that these two sentences are really true. Yes, it contains much wisdom of predecessors, so it's better to call him brother Xi."
Hi brother? ! Princess Jinggui immediately smiled and said, "The name the Queen Mother gave to her has a real history."
"He is the first grandson of the first emperor, and everyone's hope is placed on him. This word can also be used." Li Wei felt that he was really not good at choosing a name.
Princess Ping hugged the young Xi Geer and thanked the Queen Mother for giving her name.
"The name given by the imperial grandmother is very good." Princess Jinggui held Li Wei as much as possible.
Grandma? Li Wei is only twenty years old, so he is a grandmother?
Li Wei called Mother Yun and said, "Go to my warehouse and choose a few suitable materials for Xi Ge'er to cut clothes. I remember that I still have a golden unicorn lock, and I will give it to Xi Ge'er. ."
Princess Jinggui said: "It made the Queen Mother waste."
"This grandson is the right one. It's the first one again. He deserves the reward." Then Li Wei asked about the nanny, and by the way, how well Princess Ping is recovering.
Princess Ping replied: "Perhaps I am young, and I feel almost recovered."
After hearing her daughter-in-law's words, the princess Jinggui had no time to wink her eyes. She wondered how this girl didn't count, and blamed her for not communicating well with her daughter-in-law before coming. She was about to speak, but she heard Li Wei say: "The princess is young, and it is natural to recover quickly. It will be a hundred days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was not cold or hot at that time, and the weather was good. It is better to invite the princess and the youngest son in Beijing. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, return to the fief. The noble concubine can also see her grandson more."
The tone was a negotiating tone, but what Li Wei said was entirely an order.
Now that the matter is over, Princess Jinggui had no choice but to follow Li Wei's words and say: "Okay, just follow the arrangements of the Queen Mother."
The one thing hanging in his heart was solved in this way, and Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Jinggui waited out of Chongqing Palace. Her face was very ugly. When she returned to Yongshou Palace, her face was pulled down instantly.
"You are also a mindless thing, and said that you want you to stay in the capital with your children for a few more years. You have to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Princess Ping also regretted herself when she realized it: "Mother and concubine, you calm down, it's your daughter-in-law. It's a big deal to find other excuses."
"Other excuses?" Princess Jinggui sneered, and then said: "I'm afraid it won't be so easy. You saw how she handled the third child's affairs. She seems to be a little different from before. We thought it was so simple. In the future, you will often bring Xi Ge'er to the palace to walk around, go to Chongqing Palace to sit more, and try your best to get close to her."
"Yes, the mother concubine is right!"
Princess Jinggui sighed. This daughter-in-law was personally selected by the first emperor. She always felt a little short-sighted and not so satisfied. She was really not as smart as Princess Shu. Now it seems that she is not so smart, but at this point, she is not. She could choose, but Gao pinned her hopes on Brother Xi.
"I received a letter from my second child. He said something about his own situation. I also wrote him a reply here, but I couldn't find a suitable person to send him a letter. When you go out, help me with this letter. Take it out and find someone reliable to take it to Guangxi."
"Yes."
After the arrangement, Princess Jinggui expressed that she was tired, and Princess Ping had to leave.
After the princess Ping left, the princess Jinggui and the close-fitting lady in front of her complained: "Such a princess, I am afraid that in the future, she will be hindered."
The grand palace lady said: "It's not necessarily a good thing to be too shrewd. The fate of Princess Shu is now. Besides, our princess is not stupid, but it's just a momentary inconsideration."
Respecting the royal concubine’s bento lunch is comforting. The queen mother wants to increase income and reduce expenditure. First, there are layoffs and then layoffs. Yongshou Palace has also become more deserted.
"Has this month's money check come?"
The palace lady replied: "I got up early and went to the Twelve Yamen to get it back."
"How much money is there this month?"
The answer: "A total of 31, 2, 3, and 7%."
"Just that little money? Enough for what!" Princess Jinggui gritted her teeth and thumped the table: "The whole Yongshou Palace is pointing to such a small amount of money to live, this day is really impossible. I don't know what she is going to do. , I deliberately didn't want people to live a comfortable life for a few days."
The grand palace lady said carefully: "It is said that Chongqing Palace is only two or two more than us."
The concubine Jinggui was surprised: "Chongqing Palace is bigger than ours, and there are more than a dozen people here. With such a small amount of money, how can she comfort the people below?"
The grand palace girl hurriedly said: "Did you forget, Niang Niang? Last time, Chongqing Palace had the largest number of layoffs. Now the difference between the number of people in the two places is not that big."
"Being so cruel to herself, she seems to be a powerful character. I don't know what she is going to do with the money she saved."
These actions of Li Wei make it harder to see what she is going to do. Is it possible that she really wants to follow the example of Emperor Xiaoci?
