==Chapter 216==

After sending Hui Niang away, Yao Niang thought for a long time, but her eyebrows remained unchanged.

It's not that she's afraid of causing trouble for herself, her reputation outside the palace isn't very good anyway. Emperor Jin'an has never had a harem. Although he did not mention the reason, some people have long blamed her. The name of 'jealous queen' has been circulated for a long time, and it doesn't matter if there is one more.

What she was thinking about was how to deal with Mr. Li.

There is no doubt that Li was the source of trouble. She was able to smooth things over, but what should she do next time something like this happens again? She could ignore Li and her brother-in-law, but only her sister Huiniang had to consider it.

When her sister talked to her before, Yao Niang could clearly feel that there might be a rift between her sister and her brother-in-law. There must have been a quarrel before entering the palace.

After all, Mrs. Li is her sister’s mother-in-law, so she can’t do anything without dealing with her.

Seeing the empress sitting alone in deep thought, Hongsi and others did not dare to disturb her. It was not until the four treasures made a fuss to find their mother that the palace officials brought them over.

"What happened again?"

The four treasures couldn't speak either, so they just grabbed Yao Niang's skirt without losing it. Nowadays, it is almost impossible for Yao Niang to wear plain clothes. Unless she is far away from the three treasures and four treasures, otherwise she will be harmed by two naughty eggs if she is not careful.

There were calls of greetings outside, it was Emperor Jin'an who had arrived.

He is dressed in regular clothes, a purple-bottomed dragon robe, and a black gauze winged crown on his head. Nowadays, Emperor Jin'an's majesty is getting stronger and stronger. His temperament was handsome and cold in his early years, but now he is more stable and majestic.

When the Four Treasures saw Emperor Jin'an, their eyes lit up and they struggled to get off the ground. Yao Niang put her down, and she stumbled towards Emperor Jin'an, calling her daddy loudly as she walked. Of course, it is not as loud as the second and third treasures, but it is extremely rare for the fourth treasure who has always been soft-spoken.

Yao Niang was a little jealous and looked at her daughter sourly as she threw herself in front of him and hugged his legs.

In a rare move, Emperor Jin'an did not pick up his daughter, but half-bent down and held Si Bao's little hand, walking over here. Yao Niang blinked in confusion. You must know that the father and daughter are usually the most affectionate.

Arrived in front of the Kang, Si Bao looked up at Emperor Jin An, and seemed to be curious about why his father didn't hug him. At this time, Fucheng walked up with a smile, picked her up and put her on the kang, while Emperor Jin'an sat down opposite Yaoniang.

Emperor Jin'an raised his hand slightly and placed it on the Kang table. Yao Niang was curious about what he wanted to do, when she saw his sleeve moving, as if something crawled out of his sleeve.

Before Yao Niang could even look at it, she saw Emperor Jin An flipping his palm and holding the object in his palm. Then it was spread out, and the mother and daughter could see clearly what it was.

It is a puppy, all white, with dark and moist eyes and nose, very cute. It seemed a little uncomfortable lying half in the palm of Emperor Jin'an. His little body twisted and struggled, and it was difficult to get up.

"Oh?"

Si Bao's eyes were wide open, his mouth could not close, and he pointed at the puppy, as if he was asking Emperor Jin'an what it was.

Emperor Jin'an's eyes softened and he said: "It's for Changle."

Although he loved his daughter, he was a man, and he still couldn't do the act of picking his daughter up and kissing her little face whenever he felt happy.

"This is a little puppy. Do you like it, little four?" the wonderful mother asked from the side.

"Four, four..."

The fourth treasure wanted to touch it but did not dare to touch it. He kept looking at his mother.

"Xiao Si'er can touch it."

Yao Niang slowly approached with her little hand. During this period, Si Bao wanted to retract her hand, but Yao Niang did not stop her. She just used her own hand to protect the little hand and touch it together. On the puppy.

The puppy only has short fur, which is soft to the touch.

When Si Bao was making noises about playing with Dahua and the others, Yao Niang taught her that she could only touch but not pinch, so she just touched them carefully with her fingers. During this period, Yaoniang took back her hand, but was discovered by the sensitive Si Bao, and she immediately took it back.

After all, the baby at this age is still quite curious. Sibao touched it again. She touched it once and then again, letting out bursts of giggles. She seemed very happy that she was no longer afraid. .

Si Bao's attention was successfully attracted by the puppy, and he was having a great time. Only then did Yao Niang inform Emperor Jin'an about Hui Niang's entry into the palace.

"What are your plans?" Emperor Jin'an asked.

Nowadays, whenever he encounters something that Yao Niang can solve by herself, Emperor Jin'an will change his earlier attitude of taking everything in and ask her what she means first.

Yao Niang is also used to it and said: "I wonder if I can use Shuntian Mansion to scare her and teach her a lesson so that she will not dare to do it again when she has a better memory in the future."

As she spoke, she looked at Emperor Jin'an and seemed to be asking him if this method was feasible.

"If you think you can, then do it."

Does that mean it's feasible?

Yao Niang called Hong Silk and told her to go down and finish the matter.

*

"Su Huiniang, you are unfilial, I must let Chenger divorce you..."

Li finally got tired of scolding and sat down on the chair panting.

She hasn't called herself my mother for a long time. Don't look at Li Shipo, she also has a lot of face. When I walk outside, I always imitate the behavior of the wives of high-ranking officials, consciously or unconsciously. Although I make a lot of jokes because of my imitation, it is not as vulgar as before.

Ms. Li was so excited this time because Hui Niang was angry.

This little **** actually encouraged her son to lock her up.

Ms. Li didn't think there was anything wrong with loan sharking. So what if people from Shuntian Mansion came to her door? If they wanted to arrest her, she would have been arrested long ago. It was necessary for her to come to her door to ask about the matter. As long as Su Yaoniang was still the queen, the officials would not dare to touch her. Her son was the queen's brother-in-law, and the Yao family were now relatives of the emperor.

I have to say that Su Yaoniang is really lucky!

Every time Mrs. Li would sigh like this, and while sighing, she couldn't help but think of her daughter, Sister Yan.

Although Mrs. Li didn’t know the whereabouts of Sister Yan, now in her heart, she already regarded Sister Yan as dead. While lamenting Su Yaoniang's good luck, she naturally scolded her a lot. If she hadn't stopped her, she would have been sitting in the seat of the emperor's mother-in-law today.

It was the Su family and Su Yaoniang who robbed her and her daughter of their blessing!

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth thinking about it, but luckily she was the only one in the room now, otherwise she would have frightened those girls and women.

Ms. Li was just thinking wildly when the sound of unlocking suddenly sounded outside the door. She immediately stood up and put her hands on her hips, planning to scold Su Huiniang when she came in.

Unfortunately, it was not Su Huiniang who came in, but a few girls.

"Old madam, please come."

"Is Su Huiniang planning to apologize to me and admit her mistake?" Ms. Li had already begun to imagine in her mind how she would teach Su Huiniang a lesson later. She would definitely want her to be humble to her and try to please her in every possible way. Only then will he forgive her. Regardless of how fierce Mrs. Li was scolding her just now, it was just talk. She also knew in her heart that it was because of whose favor the family had such wealth now.

Including Yao Niang, a person that Li has never disdained, she can also be humble and petty when faced with it. When Mrs. Li went to the palace to congratulate her on New Year's Day, when she saw Yao Niang, she almost burst into laughter. So this is what people say about bullying and fearing the strong. They are so philistine that it makes people feel cold.

After seeing all kinds of things in the capital, Ms. Li is no longer the same Ms. Li who used to be so indifferent in front of the King of Jin.

Li specially asked Qiao to let the girl serve her and change her clothes. She also dressed up again before walking out of the room. At this time, she still had the same appearance as when she was in Jinzhou. She was no different from those old ladies from wealthy families in Beijing. She had a reserved expression on her face and her eyes were high above her head. She didn't realize that the place the girls led her to was the front yard.

Yao Cheng had an unbearable expression on his face. He did not look at Mrs. Li, but said to an adult in front of him: "This is my mother. I hope you can be merciful. My mother came from a humble background and entered the capital. Short, I don’t know much about the ways of the world. I was deceived by others, and that’s why I made such a big mistake."

"Easy to say, we are also acting under orders. If the old lady in your house really does not know the inside story and is just being deceived, we will definitely handle it impartially."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the adult ordered his men to capture the Li family.

This group of fierce-looking government officials came forward. Even though Li was not locked, they were enough to frighten her so much that she became stunned and her legs weakened. It wasn't until she was pushed out of the door that she realized what she was doing and screamed miserably: "What are you doing, what are you doing... Cheng'er, what do they want to do... Cheng'er, you unfilial son..."

Yao Cheng bowed to this side from a distance and said: "Mother, it's not that the child is unfilial, but that the mother has made a big mistake and there is really nothing I can do..."

At this time, Mrs. Li still looked like a noble lady. Her hair was in a messy bun, and the gold ornaments on her head fell to the ground. She was crying with snot and tears all over her face:

"Look for Su Yaoniang, look for Su Yaoniang, go quickly..."

"Silence! Could it be you who called the Queen the Queen?"

Seeing the yamen servant's eyes wide open with anger, Mrs. Li was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

But her hard days were still to come. After she was taken away, she was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion Prison.

This Shuntianfu Prison is not an ordinary place. As a prison in an important place in Gyeonggi Province, all those who can be detained in it are criminal thieves and key criminals in murder cases. There is no light here all the year round, and the cells are cramped and small. Even though Li has chosen the best one, it still makes her miserable.

That's it. What scares Li the most is that there will always be some strange noises here. Sometimes it's iron chains smashing the prison door, sometimes it's laughter, sometimes it's sad whimpering, which often makes Li I was so scared that I huddled up in a ball and couldn't sleep all night.

The food is also poor. Each meal only consists of gruel and flour pancakes that are so hard that they can choke you. It is said that this is already considered good. The other prisoners eat sour food, and there is only one meal a day. The supervisor Forget about starving to death.

Li was tortured so much that when she saw the jailers, she would beg or threaten her, but these jailers were like stone men and never paid attention to her. She finally realized why she heard Those strange sounds made these people go crazy due to torture.

At the same time, Shuntian Mansion did not forget to send someone to interrogate her. Li Shi dared to hide everything.

Not only did she cooperate with the wife of the uncle's family to lend loan money, she also cooperated with the wives of two other families. But just as the third wife of the uncle's family said, Mrs. Li doesn't care about things, and may not even know the specific situation inside. All she knew was that it was a partnership business, so she didn't have to pay any capital, and she could just sit back and wait for the dividends.

These people deliberately set a trap for Ms. Li, and it’s not like Ms. Li didn’t know it. She only needed to know two things. She could get money. These people would take the initiative to give her money because they wanted something from her. As for the consequences, they are not within the scope of Li's consideration. From her perspective, the sky will not fall.

These so-called confessions were made in duplicate, one was sent to the palace, and the other was sent to the Yao family.

After reading these **** words, Yao Cheng fell into silence.

Huiniang changed her earlier attitude and said nothing. She even avoided going out, leaving him alone with space to think. As before, Yao Cheng did not disappoint her. After Li was sent back, he began to take care of sending her back to her hometown in the countryside of Jinzhou.

Li Shi was naturally unwilling. The only thing that supported her in walking out of the prison was the thought that as long as she survived this period, she would be fine. Unfortunately, no matter how much she begged, cried, or cursed, she could not stop Yao Cheng's decision to send her back to the countryside.

After finally sending Mrs. Li away, Yao Chengcai took a long breath and said to Huiniang: "You are right. Keeping her in the capital will kill our family."

Huiniang comforted him and said: "Don't say that, it's just a helpless move. If we weren't in the capital, she wouldn't be able to do anything in that small place. But this is the capital, under the emperor's feet, It can lead to disaster at any time. I have thought about going home with you and serving my mother till the end of her life, but firstly, my sister, father, mother and eldest brother are all here, and I don’t want to leave; secondly, Brother Ming and the others are in Beijing, so in the future My future will definitely be better than that in Jinzhou, especially the three children’s studies are at a critical juncture, so I will take care of them.”

"Everything you said is right."

*

While the Yao family was sending Li away, Emperor Jin'an went to the Qianqing Palace.

No one knows what he said to the Emperor, but the Emperor called Zhao Zuo into the palace the next day.

Zhao Zuo has not seen the Supreme Emperor for a long time. The last time was the Chinese New Year. No matter how he asked to see him, the Supreme Emperor kept him out of the palace with excuses such as physical discomfort and self-cultivation.

Actually, Zhao Zuo knew that the Supreme Emperor was not feeling unwell, but he just didn't want to see him. He could vaguely hear the laughter, noise and the sound of the three-stringed drums and drums of the children in the palace while standing outside the palace. To put it bluntly, he was no longer the Emperor's favorite grandson.

It depends on how long you can be favored! Many times, Zhao Zuo thought so unwillingly and jealously.

Today, the Supreme Emperor suddenly summoned him into the palace for the first time. Zhao Zuo was very surprised. He couldn't help but think of something with a guilty conscience. Suddenly he felt that it couldn't be that. He did it secretly and no one would find out.

All kinds of emotions turned into admiration on his face when he saw the Supreme Emperor sitting cross-legged on the Kang. The Emperor's complexion was very good, even better than before before he was seriously ill. The eyebrows are relaxed and the complexion is rosy, which is the result of physical and mental relaxation.

"Grandfather..." The voice contained sadness, grievance, even confusion, sadness, and so on.

When the Supreme Emperor heard this voice, he couldn't help but sigh. This was probably one of the most meaningful voices he had heard in his old age. And these people, without exception, are not good people. Of course, this 'not good people' is relative to the Supreme Emperor.

"Get up. Li Dequan, give me a seat."

I don’t know when, the situation in which the grandfather and grandson got along changed. In the past, Zhao Zuo never treated himself as an outsider when he came to Qianqing Palace, but now he is polite and reserved.

The Supreme Emperor vaguely recalled that it seemed that when the Crown Prince was deposed, no one knew whether he or the other party had changed.

"Have you read any books recently? Is there any good news for Mrs. Wu? The time for you and Mrs. Wu to get married is not short. Children should be the first priority in everything."

Zhao Zuo answered one by one: "My grandson has had nothing to do recently. He was reading "Commentaries on the Analects of Confucius". When he opened the book, he remembered that this book was given to him by his grandfather when he was just reading the fourth book. My grandson's, there are many annotations written by the imperial grandfather, which makes my grandson feel like he has found a treasure, and he is filled with emotion after reading it again.

"As for Wu——"

He paused for a moment, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, but his tone was still respectful: "My grandson really hopes that the Wu family can give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible, but unfortunately there is no good news yet." At the end of the words, his tone darkened. Come down.

The Supreme Emperor did not speak. Zhao Zuo couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the other party, his pupils tightening.

The Supreme Emperor was not listening to him. Instead, he was playing with the fish in the porcelain basin on the Kang table with a jade pole. It could be seen that the Supreme Emperor was very focused and did not look at him.

Zhao Zuo suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment, as if he was showing his charming eyes to a blind man, but he did not dare to say anything and could only lower his head in silence.

After a moment, or two, the Supreme Emperor put down the jade pole in his hand and said slowly: "It would be good if you could calm down and read a book. Stop thinking about things when you have nothing to do, and learn more from your imperial uncles."

Then he yawned, waved, and pointed at Zhao Zuo, and someone led Zhao Zuo down.

Until he left the palace gate, Zhao Zuo still didn't understand what the Supreme Emperor meant.

He felt ashamed and annoyed, feeling that the Supreme Emperor was playing a trick on him by summoning him into the palace without saying anything. Just as he was thinking, a group of people suddenly came over from a short distance away, led by two little kids who were still walking unsteadily.

This pair of little babies are a boy and a girl. They don't look alike, but they are very cute. Their steps were a little hasty, which always made people afraid that they would fall, but they did not let the palace maids and eunuchs next to them hold them, and even helped them a little, and even pushed them away with their small hands.

This group of people soon came to Zhao Zuo and passed him into the palace gate. Zhao Zuo was surrounded by people, and his ears were full of human voices. These voices were not loud, but they were as buzzing as flies, making people feel irritated.

"Little princess, please slow down, you are thrown..."

"Third Prince, please walk slower..."

It wasn't until these people entered the palace door that the sound faded away, but soon Zhao Zuo heard a burst of the little kid's unique and sharp joyful sound, which was also mixed with the old man's rich laughter.

This laughter belongs to the Supreme Emperor. The imperial grandfather had never smiled like this at himself, not even when he was young.

Zhao Zuo was a little dazed, but he was also filled with aggrievedness and shame. Compared with his previous treatment, all this was like a slap on his face.

He was angry and unwilling, but what could he do? There was nothing he could do now, nothing.

His ears rang again with the words of the Supreme Emperor——

"... learn more from your imperial uncles..."

What do you want to learn from them? People who were once disdainful and even sworn enemies now have to kowtow to him or even try to please him?

Maybe he should try to have a son after he returns, preferably a twin. Doesn’t the imperial grandfather like children?

……

After sending away the two grinders who had been clamoring to go to the Qing Palace, Yao Niang spoke to Emperor Jin'an: "It's a good idea to tell my father about this, so as not to make it difficult for you to be caught in the middle. It's not easy." It’s not serious, maybe there will be complaints.”

The so-called thing naturally refers to someone behind the scenes in the previous incident. After all, Emperor Jin'an was not worried about Yao Niang doing this kind of thing, so while agreeing to her, he also asked An Yi to take action.

Who would have thought that An Yi would find something unexpected.

This is not the first time that the gangsters who are responsible for collecting debts have done this kind of thing, and no one has ever lost their lives. Who would have thought that something was wrong this time. They also felt very unjust and unlucky, but little did they know that they were not the ones who killed the man, but someone had tampered with him secretly.

With the current power of Prince Yi Hui, he could only do such sneaky things behind his back, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

However, Emperor Jin'an did not take action to deal with Zhao Zuo. Instead, he left the matter to the Supreme Emperor. Yao Niang's words fit exactly here.

"Don't take this too seriously. It won't cause any trouble. I just feel wronged."

"What's wrong with me? Flies don't bite seamless eggs, so why don't I see him bite my eldest brother and the others? But it would be nice to send Mrs. Li back, so that my sister won't always be angry with her."

Emperor Jin'an nodded slightly, his eyes turned around on her smooth face, and his mood suddenly became very good.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else."

"What did you say?"

When her eyes met his, her face suddenly turned red.

The author has something to say: In fact, Yao Niang learned many of her skills in controlling her husband from her sister.

Yao Cheng does have some problems, for example, he is too narrow-minded, ambitious, wants to climb up, and thinks wealth is a good thing. In front of wealth and his mother, as long as he is given a reason to convince himself, he will Can easily choose the appropriate options.

But Yao Cheng is also one of many ordinary people. In fact, many people are like this, and he has not missed the general direction. This has something to do with conscience, and of course it has something to do with Huiniang's ability to control her husband.

~~~~

As for King An, Zhao Zuo and others, I saw some messages saying why they were not dealt with. The evildoers should be punished for harming the prince by treating him like that. In fact, looking at history, this method is often not applicable to the royal family, especially brothers who were once competitors. They also receive the most elite education from the royal family, and their qualifications may be different, but understanding eye expressions and recognizing interests is a necessary skill.

So after Emperor Jin'an ascended the throne, knowing that they were irresistible, many people changed their attitudes. Just to prevent others from complaining about the word count, they did not write in detail, but King Lu and Zhao Zuo were the iconic representatives. React from the side of the character. ,

For example, King Lu asked King Qing to owe him a favor and brushed his face in front of Emperor Jin'an. For example, Zhao Zuo has always been committed to pleasing the emperor. They are two extremes, so the Supreme Emperor asked Zhao Zuo to learn from his uncles. But Zhao Zuo was disdainful and had already said before that he had fallen into a dead end. Instead of thinking about doing the right things that you should do, you always go astray and work in vain.

Back to the topic, why didn't Emperor Jin'an deal with them? He has already reached the top. A person with an arrogant nature does not seek retribution, but uses absolute strength to completely crush you all. From a practical point of view, just like Yongzheng, whom everyone knows in history, he killed all his brothers and was scolded for how many years? Maybe Yongzheng didn't want to do this, but the time when he ascended the throne was not very good, and he didn't have the absolute strength to crush everyone, so he seemed to be too ruthless.

Whether it's right or wrong, Mianmian is my biological mother, so it's better not to let the Tangzi be scolded.
