Chapter 42: The Shen family who got into trouble

The young master of Qinglu came from the swaying trees. His robe and big sleeves were fluttering, and his clothes were filled with fairy spirit.

Hua Jingyao couldn't help but open her eyes wide, but unfortunately when the man walked out of the shadow of the tree, what Hua Jingyao saw was still a beautiful face.

He only has a beautiful eyebrows and eyes, not even a cinnabar mole, and is not on the same step as his father.

"Qinglu has met the eldest lady." Qinglu Young Master bowed respectfully.

Hua Jingyao smiled cleverly and looked at Qinglu up and down. Obviously, the deer in the garden had all seen her sister before. Then she didn't have to be polite.

"I originally wanted to hear Mr. Lu play the piano clearly, but unfortunately the smell here was bad, so I immediately lost all my interest."

Young Master Qing Lu gave another gift: "It is really a mistake for Xiao Ke to fail to return home with great pleasure."

"It's okay, let's go somewhere else."

Hua Jingyao left after saying that, and took Xiaoli out of Lumingyuan without even looking back.

She asked Xiaoli to stay on the west road and returned to the embroidery garden. As soon as she sat down, the eldest maid Ziwei walked in.

"Girl, Madam You just came. The eldest princess sent someone back from the palace to deliver a letter to you, asking you to come to the palace to talk to the Empress Dowager after you return home."

Hua Jingyao asked, "The Empress Dowager is in a hurry to find me. Do you know what's wrong?"

Ziwei looked around, and Xiao Ai and Xiao Xia hurriedly retreated.

Ziwei then said, "Madam You asked me to tell you in advance so that you can understand it in your heart. Something happened to the Duke of Yongguo's mansion again. The fourth prince who happened this time was the fourth prince. This matter has been suppressed and now it can't be suppressed. The empress dowager still knows it. The eldest princess asked the girl to enter the palace and talk to the empress dowager."

It's Yongguo Duke's Mansion again?

This Yongguo Duke’s Mansion has caused disasters, why did something happen again and again?

First, there was something wrong with Duke Yong, then there was something wrong with Duke Yong and Madam. A while ago, Princess Zhaoyang was the one who did the rituals for Duke Yong for Duke Yong. Only a few days later did something wrong with Duke Yong's mansion.

"How many people are there in the Yongguo Duke's Mansion?" Hua Jingyao wanted to know how many more things could happen to the Yongguo Duke's Mansion.

Ziwei said, "Miss, I'm afraid I've forgotten that the second wife of the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion has been separated and lived in another house. After the death of the prince and the prince's wife, there was no master in the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion. Even the fourth son, I heard about it for the first time, and I don't know if it's from the legitimate branch."

Hua Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief. The fourth son was eighteen or ninety from other housemen of the Shen family. At this time of her previous life, she was only four years old and had no idea of ​​anything. After she returned to the capital from Guangxi, the Shen family of the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion had long lost its former glory. The Duke of Yongguo, Shen Feng, who inherited the title, was ignorant, raised an actor and a young prostitute, and made the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion a mess.

"Help me change my clothes, I will enter the palace now." Hua Jingyao said.

The queen mother's surname is Shen, and she is the aunt of the Shen family of the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion. The deceased Duke of Yongguo Shen Dongli is her nephew, and the newly-deceased prince Shen Yuan is her nephew.

Among the great nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the holy favors remain unchanged, and if the Shen family is called second, no one dares to be the first.

The predecessor of the Duke of Yongguo was the Mansion of the Marquis of the King of Yong. Before Emperor Renzong Zhao Ji, the Shen family was a first-class title and married the royal family for generations. Renzong was not kind and Dezong raised troops to retake the world. The Shen family not only made a safe transition, but also made an indelible contribution. The Duke of the King of Yongguo was also transformed into the Duke of Yongguo.

Emperor Xiaozong even conferred the eldest daughter of the Shen family as the queen, and the empress dowager was later called the Queen Mother of Shen.

In the past, Renzong was unvirtuous and killed all the descendants of the Zhao family. Dezong and the old princess were the last two men of the Zhao family. Dezong was sick and had no children. Emperor Xiaozong was actually the eldest princess' grandson. He came from the Qin family of Tianxin Pavilion. Emperor Dezong recorded it in the royal family's Jade Genealogy and succeeded to the throne as his descendant.

In fact, there was a lineage of King Qing at that time. Although it was not a legitimate branch, if the old King Qing had not taken action, Dezong and the princess would not have escaped. However, the Qing Palace had made a statement early in the morning. King Qing even married his granddaughter Chen Yiyi to Xiaozong, who was still the descendant at that time. This Chen Yiyi was later named Empress Chen.

If the same surname cannot be married, the descendants of Xiaozong often marry relatives of the Prince Qing’s Mansion. For example, the current empress dowager is the Shen family of the Duke of Yongguo’s Mansion. She was the branch of the Queen Mother Chen’s younger brother Chen Chi. The current empress’s surname is Zhu, and her grandmother, Princess Shouping, comes from Prince Qing’s Mansion.

The Shen family has always had a bad life, and now it is almost dead. Hua Jingyao sighed. Even if the fourth son of Shen is not from the legitimate branch, the empress dowager will be very sad. There are too few members of the Shen family.

This was the first time Hua Jingyao saw the Queen Mother. When she entered the palace in her previous life, the Queen Mother had already entered the imperial tomb.

The empress dowager in front of her was younger than she thought, less than fifty years old, wearing a plain coat, but she didn't apply powder, her face turned yellow, her eyes were swollen, and she was half leaning against Xiangfei's couch.

After the Prince of Yongguo Chen Yuan and his newlywed wife died suddenly, the empress dowager fell ill. Now she has finally become energetic and wants to hang her horse. Unexpectedly, bad news comes again, something happened to Mr. Chen!

Seeing Hua Jingyao, the Empress Dowager forced a smile: "My son, why haven't I come to visit my grandmother these days? Your mother said you went to a villa. Your villa is so small, what's the fun thing?"

Hua Jingyao understood as soon as he heard this. The Empress Dowager didn't know about the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion. This would be fine, so as not to be sad about the Shen family's affairs and would not have the leisure to shook his face at the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

"Aren't Yaoyao here? My house is small, but the palace is big, grandmother, I want to watch a puppet show. You have a great face. Can you talk to the Qin family?" Hua Jingyao simply squatted in front of the couch and shook it with the queen mother's sleeve.

The Empress Dowager was amused and cried, and said to the eldest princess Zhaoyang: "The child is like every day. The Ai family hasn't seen her for a few days. Look, she is like she has changed her temper and can still cheat, but she is exactly the same as when you were a child."

Princess Zhaoyang said angrily: "Look at what you said, who else can I like if the daughter I gave birth to is not like me? However, when I was a child, I also loved watching puppet shows, and I wished I could run to the Qin family every day."

The Qin family’s puppet show is a unique one. Although other families also imitate it, the imitation is imitation, which cannot be compared with the Qin family.

If it is an ordinary opera troupe, you can watch it if you want to, but the Qin family performs puppet shows are all maids and mothers in the back house. Unless they are invited by the female family of the Qin family, outsiders will not be able to see it.

"That's right, you were just thinking about going to the Qin family to see it, but when you look at this little thing, you have to send the Ai family. When the Ai family spoke, the Qin family could only send the puppet show to the palace to show you? Tell me, who did she learn this from? She used to be so well-behaved, but now she learned to be a Pihouer." The queen mother smiled. Despite this, she thought it would be better for a child to be more lively. Yaoyao was too quiet before.

"Grandma, you agree, okay? Please." Hua Jingyao began to shake the empress dowager's arm again.
