live with conscience

Chapter 165 (Catching Bugs)

However, soon, the empress dowager's self-confidence was slapped in the face.

Although, she didn't mind being slapped in the face at all, because she also wanted to applaud the old lady's means and demeanor.

The calculation failed, and the somewhat frustrated emperor could only turn his attention to the empress, and watched with his own eyes the empress who often used loyal slogans to make him lose all face. The white buns are eaten whole.

The queen mother watched with a smile on the side, neither speaking nor stopping.

She figured it out. If the old lady was not hiding something, then she was very lucky.

Otherwise, how could he send out a steamed stuffed bun casually, and would kill the queen who had the greatest hostility towards Xu Guogong's mansion without bloodshed.

The queen mother also knew how to deal with this daughter-in-law in the future.

Who would have thought that the "virtuous and virtuous" empress hated eating leeks to such an extent.

When they ate the first bite of leeks, both the queen mother and the emperor saw the blue and white face of the queen, and both of them were secretly happy.

When the queen was about to vomit, the emperor started to reminisce (nonsense): "I once heard my father say that when the emperor's grandfather was avoiding the chasing soldiers of the previous dynasty, his favorite food was the steamed stuffed bun made by Mrs. Tai Guo. Yes. My father often uses this to teach me that I can’t be an emperor who doesn’t eat minced meat, Zi Tong, what do you think?”

Resisting the urge to vomit out from her stomach, the queen forcibly swallowed the fragrant meat bun into her throat.

After enduring it for a long time, he swallowed the nausea spreading from his throat to his stomach. He raised his mouth and tried to speak, but felt the moistness dripping from his face.

Vision blurred, she cried!

How could anyone like such a terrible thing as leeks and make such a big meat bun!Bigger than my face!

She is a queen, even if she is uncomfortable, she still has to hold on: "The concubine... is really... moved! Grandfather... the ancestors... it is not easy! We are really... so happy."

At the end, the queen seemed to smell the leeks coming out of her mouth, and almost couldn't hold back the urge to vomit.

But in the end, she cleverly blocked it with the meat bag in her hand.

However, in the eyes of the queen mother and the emperor, the queen was even more moved.

Those tears, like broken pearls, could not be restrained from falling.

His Majesty the Emperor swore that he even saw the snot from the tip of the Queen's nose flow into her mouth.

Seeing the empress like this, the embarrassment of the empress' father-in-law, who has been the prime minister for three dynasties all the time, dissipated a lot.

Simply, delightful.

The empress is also a character, under the watchful eyes of the empress dowager and the emperor, within more than half an hour, she forced a big meat bun into her mouth with tears, and she could still maintain her "demeanor" to salute and leave without spitting it out.

But the tear marks on her face should not be too obvious.

Because it is an internal matter of the royal family, the venue has been cleared long ago, and outsiders dare not come in and disturb it at will.

After the queen left and the emperor laughed wantonly, the waiters felt that they couldn't wait any longer, so they hurriedly crawled in to report.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xu Taiguo, together with the three Xu Guogong brothers, smashed Prime Minister Zuo's Zhao Mansion!"

"Cough cough cough..." The emperor who laughed halfway was choked by his own saliva, and almost couldn't breathe: "You...cough cough...what are you talking about?"

Who did what he always wanted to do?

Perhaps it was because the expression on his face was too ferocious, which made the little eunuch who reported it tremble a little.

"Madam Xu Taiguo smashed Prime Minister Zuo's Zhao Mansion, and snatched the two granddaughters of Prime Minister Zhao's family back to the Duke's Mansion... Prime Minister Zhao was knocked out..."

Bang Ka...

Now not only the emperor was surprised, even the queen mother was so shocked that she couldn't hold the teacup and fell to the ground.

The old lady is mighty!

It is said that the old lady was carried out of the palace, and she was very satisfied to see her three burly grandsons, who were already waiting with his subordinates, and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, Zhongwa, Chengwa, Yongwa , let’s go! Lead the way and find a place for your sister! Not everyone can bully our daughter.”

The old lady lost her temper, she didn't even get off the sedan chair, and directly asked her two little grandsons to replace her as bearers and carry her away.

Lin Lan: Just now, to fool the mother and child inside, she used a little more strength, she needs to rest, and there will be a big battle later, she needs to let people see how powerful Mrs. Xu Taiguo is.

To be honest, the old lady hadn't walked to the gate of Zuoxiang Zhao's residence, Zhao's residence had already received the news.

After all, as Zhao Zuoxiang, who was able to compete with the queen's father, the right minister, in the imperial court, Zhao Zuoxiang had a good network in the capital.

As soon as the old lady came out of the palace, she brought her three grandchildren and a group of imperial city guards, and walked towards Zhao's mansion in a mighty manner. Someone had already rushed to report.

It wasn't long before he went to court, and Zhao Zuoxiang, who hadn't even changed his official uniform, immediately led a large family, opened the main door, and greeted him respectfully.

The Zhao family can be regarded as a scholarly family in the Dali Dynasty, because the ancestors were officials who defected from the previous dynasty and returned to Taizu Wudi, so they knew the background of Duke Xu's mansion.

Otherwise, Zhao Zuoxiang would not have suppressed the wishes of his mother and daughter-in-law, and hired Xu Huguo's posthumous daughter as his wife in a high-profile way for his eldest son.

After all, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, the Xu family belongs to the category of five unmarried.

He has always been very satisfied with his decision, because after marrying this daughter-in-law, his official position will be promoted again and again with the acquiescence of Emperor Xingdi.

He knew the status of this super-appointed old lady better than anyone else.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the crutch in the old lady's hand is enough to make him kneel respectfully to greet her.

Nima's, the crutch was carved by Emperor Taizu himself for the old lady. It is said that it was for the old lady to urge Emperor Wen to learn the system of farming and mulberry (so the pit son is really ancestral).

It's an exaggeration to say that this old lady can already beat up the faint king and the treacherous officials with that dragon head staff. If she is accidentally beaten, there is no way to justify it!

Now, the old lady came to her door with a big weapon, so of course he had to greet her with respect.

Another purpose is to show the background of the Zhao family and the domineering in-laws!

However, the respectful Zhao Xiang guessed the beginning, but did not expect the end.

In fact, it's not his fault. Zhao Xiang, who believes in the male lead and the female lead, didn't see the hesitant faces of his mother and wife, otherwise, he would definitely not have made such a stupid decision.

"My in-laws old lady came to Zhao's mansion to make the mansion flourish, please come in."

The old lady signaled her two grandsons to put down the sedan chair, stood up with her familiar crutches, and waved her hands: "No, no, I'm here to pick up my great-granddaughters. You hand them over to me. Just go home. Your family doesn’t want a granddaughter, but ours does! My family has a lot of food, and I can feed ten or eight more granddaughters!”

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao's complexion immediately changed dramatically, knowing that something had happened.

If Zhao Zuoxiang hasn't discovered the problem at this time, he doesn't need to be a leftist, especially when he sees the expressions of his mother and wife, he knows that the matter is related to them.

Although the daughter-in-law was born in the general family, she was also raised by Mrs. Kong and the princess. She is definitely a good candidate for the clan wife. The day before yesterday, he heard from his wife that the daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house for a few days. Let the daughter-in-law relax and don't think too much about it. Now it seems that it is strange for the daughter-in-law to go back to her mother's house without a daughter.

Even though he knew that his family was at fault, Zhao Xiang had no choice but to stand up: "My old lady, is there some misunderstanding in this?"

The old lady waved her hand: "There is no misunderstanding. Your new daughter-in-law has already entered the house and is pregnant. There is no misunderstanding!"

At this moment, Zhao Xiang knew that the matter was not so easy to solve, and immediately asked his wife: "What's going on!"

Zhao Xiang's wife also knew that she couldn't be cowardly at this time: "That's my natal niece, who I found for Biao'er to serve, and she has no status yet. The child is also up to date, and now she is pregnant, but it is less than three months old. , and did not advertise it widely. In the whole capital, I have never seen a daughter-in-law who went back to her natal family angrily because her concubine was pregnant!"

The more I talked, the more confident Zhao Xiang's wife became: "Our Zhao family is not unreasonable, but the daughter-in-law of Biao is now thirty and five years old, and there is no movement. The eldest daughter will be able to see her next year. Arranging waiters is already done with the utmost kindness! I feel wronged for my natal niece, who is pregnant, and there is no nod from the mistress, and I still stay in the Zhao residence without a name or distinction!"

Zhao Xiang: ...

Although there is nothing wrong with this, it is an ordinary family, and it does not apply to Xu Guogong's mansion!

Back then when the Zhao family married a girl from another family, it was written in the marriage certificate that the man would never have a concubine.

Of course, even if it is written like this, if the woman is magnanimous and wants to open up branches and leaves for her husband's family and take in more concubines, no one will be obsessed with it.

However, Emperor Xing knew about the move of the marriage letter, and even privately praised the Zhao family as worthy of being a family!

The emperor has nothing to say in private, what he said is recorded, as long as you check his daily record, the Zhao family doesn't have to be a human anymore!

Seeing that Zhao Xiang wanted to scold his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao couldn't stand it anymore: "I nodded and agreed to this matter. I can't watch Biaoer pass by and stand without a child. My old lady, you are looking for trouble." , just find me! It’s my old woman’s fault!”

The old lady seemed to be confused (actually bored) and half-closed her eyes: "I don't blame you, you don't want Shan girl, you don't want great-granddaughters, my old lady wants whoever you like, I don't care!"

The child who loved her the most was the eldest granddaughter, and even the eldest grandson had to be sidelined, not only because the eldest granddaughter was the only continuation of the eldest son's blood, but also because the eldest granddaughter was the only one among all the children and grandchildren who was willing to accompany the old lady to cultivate the land dish people.

Therefore, when Lin Lan heard that the eldest granddaughter Xu Shan was being bullied by her husband's family and went home to complain, she immediately exploded, thinking that it would be difficult for the old man to go out, so she finished everything in one go, and only then did she enter the palace today Let's talk about messing things up again.

Of course, Prime Minister Zhao can't let his granddaughter be taken away: "Old lady, our Zhao family is in the wrong this time, and I will give an account to the Duke's mansion! Biaoer's son, unless his daughter-in-law admits it, doesn't belong to our Zhao family people!"

Mrs. Zhao wanted to object, but under Zhao Xiang's stare, she stopped talking.

However, they all overestimated the old lady's IQ.

Lin Lan could tell that Prime Minister Zhao was just a cunning thug. He was planning to appease the old lady first, and then find a chance for his daughter-in-law to recognize the son who was in the house!

It is worthy of playing politics.

Unfortunately, it was Lin Lan who met.

Lin Lan, who acted according to her true nature, was very sure that according to the old lady's understanding, this bumbling bumbling bastard just didn't want to return her granddaughter.

She always took the straight line: "That is to say, you don't want to return my great-granddaughter to me?"

Zhao Xiang must insist: "They are the blood of our Zhao family!"

If you let him take him away, the Zhao family will not have to mess around!

Very good, the old lady doesn't like to go round and round, she just likes to go straight: "Zhongwa, did you hear that?"

Xu Guogong, who had just taken office and was called a loyal baby by the old lady, obediently stood at attention and shouted: "I heard it, old ancestor!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Hit me!"
