"By the way, Huizhu, do you have any plans for the future?" Xu Muqing looked at Tang Huizhu's delicate and beautiful face, but there was a sense of sorrow in her eyes, and even she felt pity for her. Such a girl with beautiful and clear quality and no desire for wealth and prosperity, wouldn't there be no noble family in the capital who like her?

"What does the Empress mean?" Tang Huizhu didn't understand why Xu Muqing turned the topic to the future so quickly, and asked her a little puzzledly.

Xu Muqing smiled, "I mean, you are confident and strong, and your quality is good. In the past few months, my mother hasn't taken you to the noble ladies' houses to attend banquets or guesthouses? It's been several months in the capital. Have you ever met a young man who is moved by or want to marry? If so, both the palace and the emperor can make the decision for you."

Tang Huizhu's face instantly had a suspicious blush. She said slightly unnaturally, "Madam, she wants to take her daughter to the noble ladies' houses. But her daughter likes quietness and feels it is unnatural to go to those banquets. In addition, she has no familiar friends, so she slowly turned it off."

In fact, she prefers to go into the study and the pharmacy to deal with medicinal materials and make some prescriptions for curing diseases and saving lives, rather than dating and greeting those unfamiliar noble girls. Perhaps because when she was at home, she was the one who was neglected since she was a child.

She thought the queen would blame her for being ungrateful, but Xu Muqing nodded in agreement, "I don't like to go to banquets. Do meaningless things with those noble ladies who are not familiar with and have no common words. They are nothing more than chanting poems and paintings, or they are drinking, and they are competing in secret. Who is more annoying in their hands and is a waste of time. There are not many friends who can make friends with each other, but two or three are enough. Those hypocritical sisterly relationships that are good on the surface but hide from the distance when encountering things, don't want them."

"Empress, it would have been great if we met earlier. I thought so in my heart. Those who are more talented in the secret, whose clothes are beautiful, whose rouge and water powder are better, and whose appearance is better, are simply boring. It is better than the ministers to have more medicinal materials and read two more medical books." Tang Huizhu said with deep emotion. She admires the queen more and more. Such a strong and confident woman is really much better than most of the delicate noble ladies who are kept in the boudoir.

Xu Muqing and Tang Huizhu became more and more acquainted. She looked at Xiao Linye's savior's eyes more and more joyful, "Huizhu, you are so good, I really want to introduce you to my brother and let you be my sister-in-law. If my brother can marry you, it will be his lifelong blessing. You also know medical skills, be virtuous and have a long-term vision, and are much better than most noble girls in the capital. Unfortunately, my brother is a good man, doesn't like beauty, and has no interest in getting married. My parents are so anxious that their hair is white."

She really wanted to introduce Tang Huizhu to Xu Zhiyuan, but when she thought of her brother's picky spirit, she should not criticize such a beautiful girl as useless. She would be embarrassed to see Tang Huizhu again, and she could only press down on this eagerness.

"My brother used to have a bad look. He fell in love with a cruel and ruthless bad woman and was heartbroken. Now he will get angry if he tells him to marry. You say that people are worried but not people."

Tang Huizhu thought to herself, I have met your brother today, and your brother thought I was the woman raised by the emperor outside. Your brother is indeed a good man who loves his sister, but he is just a little too sharp.

But she didn't show any sign of her face, "My marriage is destined by heaven. You don't have to worry too much. Maybe in one or two months, the eldest son will find a girl who is truly in love, and soon want to get married. No one can tell what will happen in the future."

Xu Muqing could only think like this, "You are right. Maybe God wants to test him for another time."

She thought of the past life again. Her brother was confused by Ji Yingyue and devoted himself to Xiao Lince. However, he died before getting married.

The memories of those tragic past lives surged up like a tide. Xu Muqing couldn't help but tremble for several times, and silently told herself that she should be content now. At least her brother is still alive and has not died directly. As for marriage and childbirth, it depends on God's will.

She looked at the blooming wintersweet outside the window, and a light curve appeared on the corner of her mouth. Everything was moving in a good direction. She believed that God would not treat her family badly and would definitely allow her relatives she cared about to have a good home.

From Xu Zhiyuan's marriage event, Xu Muqing turned all her attention to Tang Huizhu, "I will send a few more majestic and powerful palace maids to follow you without leaving any steps. Your cousins ​​will not dare to bully you and force you to do things you don't want to do at all."

She used an unquestionable tone. Tang Huizhu knew that she could not refuse, so she did not refuse again. "My daughter thanked the Empress."

Xu Muqing didn't know what she thought of, her eyes narrowed and a dangerous light burst out, "If they dared to do something wrong, I will let the maids beat them to their noses and faces, making them cry and howl in pain."

"As for the youngest son I love, I will find a way to deal with it. I will give you this anger for you, so you don't have to take it seriously." Xu Muqing is now the most noble hostess of Liang State, and her words can still play a great role. Since she said she wanted to teach Jin Yuanbao a lesson, she would never go back on her word.

"My daughter thanked the Empress here. Huizhu was unforgettable for her kindness to the Emperor and the Empress." She was so lucky in this life that she rescued the Emperor from the river beach, which also changed her life's destiny.

Tang Huizhu came out of the palace and felt much better. Behind her were Feng Qing, Feng Hua, Feng Xue, Feng Yue, etc. palace maids who were originally Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing's confidants, all of whom had killed the enemy on the battlefield. If anyone was blind, come up.

When Xiao Linye finished handling the matter and came back to accompany his wife and children in the evening, Xu Muqing told the story of Jin Yuanbao, the youngest son of Duke Yiguo, was flirting with Tang Huizhu.

"Your Majesty, Tang Huizhu has no relatives in the capital and has no support from her parents, so that people will bully her like this. It is too much for Duke Yi to indulge his son to bully other girls like this. He must teach him a heavy lesson. It will prevent him from going out and seeing beautiful girls in the future. If he wants to kidnap home and become a concubine, he still doesn't know how many girls will suffer."

Xu Muqing's words made Xiao Linye frown, "Duke Yiguo is really too much. How do you teach the child? When I go to court tomorrow, I scold him. If he can't take care of his son well, then let me take care of him personally."

The next morning, when he was in court, Xiao Linye finished his serious business and attacked Duke Yi directly, "Mr. Jin, you really have a good son. In broad daylight, he attacked the noble girl who went to the restaurant to buy wine. He also wanted to steal the noble girl back to be a concubine. Is this how the Duke Yi's mansion taught his son?"

Jin Mingyun didn't know what happened, but suddenly she was attacked by Xiao Linye. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead and knelt directly in front of the emperor. "Please calm down. What happened to the dog son. I don't know what happened to me now. After the court breaks apart, I will find out the truth of the matter. If the dog son really does something ruthless, my son will never give up."

A strong disgust and contempt rose in Xiao Linye's sharp eyes, "The girl Jin Yuanbao wanted to snatch back happened to be the queen's distant cousin and the distant niece of Princess Yaoguang's mother's house. If the girl has no relatives around, your son thought it was a soft persimmon that could be controlled casually, right? If Lord Jin can't even teach his own son well, it will be hard for me to believe that you can discipline your subordinates and be able to handle things within your responsibilities."

His sharp and cold gaze fell on Jin Mingyun, paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, he was already full of threat, "Mr. Jin, please do it yourself. You know how to solve your son's affairs."

Jin Mingyun fell in cold sweat, "Prince, please calm down. When I go back, I will definitely take the dog to apologize to the girl. It's because the dog's eyes are not good and bump into the noble person. I'm really sorry."

Xiao Linye said coldly, "Even if the one who bumped into the queen's cousin, is it the young master of the noble family who wants to rob the young and beautiful girl when he sees the young and beautiful girl? Then he is not a noble girl, so he deserves to be ruined by your son?"

The banging was unceremonious, which made Duke Yiguo so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into it, and his face turned red like ripe shrimps.

"The emperor please calm down. It is the fault of me. I have no way of teaching. I must teach my son well when I go back later. I will never let the son do anything wrong in the future." Jin Mingyun said in shame. He was so angry that he wanted to strangle his youngest son to death. Why do you have to provoke relatives of the queen's family? Do you think you have lived too long?

After Xiao Linye said a few words, he did not continue to be aggressive anymore, "Then please ask Lord Jin to do what he said and leave the court when it's okay."

Jin Mingyun didn't dare to stop at all, so he went home directly. As soon as he entered the door, he yelled angrily, "Where is Jinyuanbao? Where is the bastard? Why don't you get out for me quickly!"

Mrs. Sheng Guogong came over quickly when she heard the sound and said with a little guilty conscience, "Husband, Yuan Bao is feeling a little uncomfortable and is still sleeping. Why are you so angry? Don't wake up your son."

Jin Mingyun walked towards his youngest son's room with murderous intent, "What are you sleeping? Do you know if you have caused trouble? You guy, you just want to kill the whole family, just say, "You guy, you have lost all my face in the court today, you bastard!"

"Husband, don't get angry. Yuanbao has been very obedient for a while and has not caused trouble. How could he embarrass you?"

Duke Yi directly threw his anger on his wife, "Shut up, your kind mother is defeated. Do you know what your son did yesterday, or do you know, don't you want to tell me? The emperor pointed at my nose and started scolding. That girl is the queen's cousin. Your son is lustful and you still help the evil. Do you want to kill the whole family?"

He was so angry that he pushed his wife aside, kicked the door and entered the room, and punched Jin Yuanbao, who was covered in wounds and had a bruised face. "You evil, do you want to kill the whole family?"

Jin Yuanbao grinned in pain, and let out a wail like a pig slaughtering, "Ah——"

"Dad, I really hurt. Do you want to beat me to death?" The playboy sat up and asked with tears in his eyes.

Jin Mingyun slapped his face and slapped it down, "Tell me honestly, what did you do yesterday? Did you bully her? The emperor pointed at my nose in the court and scolded me bloodily. You, a villain, have you lost all your face in the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion. You have to be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted and beat you, and you have implicated your father to be pointed at by others behind your back before you are happy, right?"

Jin Yuanbao's face changed, and there was a ray of fear in his eyes. "Dad, does that girl really know the emperor and have a close relationship?"

Could it be that what her maid said is true? What should I do now? If he provokes the emperor, will it bring death to his family?

"That's the queen's distant cousin, the one protected by the emperor and the emperor. Are you blind? Yesterday, I actually took the ward to beat someone up. Now, the civil and military ministers in the court know what kind of thing you are. If your father's career is ruined in the future, I will see how arrogant you can become."

Jin Mingyun was so angry that she wanted to blow up her son's head. It would be fine if she was not good every day, but she even made such a trick for him.

"Dad, what should I do now? I have already made the person frivolous. Not only was I beaten to the point of being blue and swollen by the girl's guard, but I offended the emperor and the queen. What should I do in the future?" Jin Yuanbao's body trembled like a sieve. At this moment, he regretted it so much that his intestines were blue. Why was he so unlucky? He fell in love with a beautiful girl and thought it was the outer room he raised, but it turned out to be the queen's cousin.

The key is that he said so many dirty words yesterday. If the girl holds a grudge and goes to the queen to mention it from time to time, his father is completely disgusted by the emperor. Will the Duke Yi slowly decline in the future?

Jin Mingyun's anger was burning in a raging way, and he couldn't help but sneer, "Now I know I'm scared? I regret it. What have you done long ago? Get up and prepare for me quickly. Let's go and apologize to the girl."

Jin Yuanbao was very cowardly, his face was blue and purple. He looked as embarrassed as he was. "Dad, what if she didn't forgive me? Why am I so unlucky?"

"Then you have to show your sincerity to apologize. Please restrain me in the future and don't be unable to walk when you see beautiful girls. Those beautiful girls from civilian origins, if you are willing to be concubines, please take them to the backyard. If you want to rob a girl from a civilian, don't blame me for breaking your legs directly. It's so annoying!" Jin Mingyun warned viciously.

So, the Duke of Yiguo and his son prepared valuable gifts, went directly to the yard where Tang Huizhu lived, and knocked on the door carefully.

After the butler was told, Tang Huizhu felt disgusted in her heart, and she said without thinking, "I don't want to see them. Let them get as far as they are."

Not long after, the housekeeper came back again and said with a disgust, "Miss, they won't leave at all. Duke Yi said that the young man bumped into the young man yesterday, because they didn't know Mount Tai. Please don't be as good as they know them. They want to apologize to the young man in person."

Tang Huizhu is really annoyed about these hypocritical relationships. She didn't know each other and had nothing to do with. She was insulted by Dengtuzi yesterday and was already very angry. Now she still has to remember the things yesterday.

She was even more afraid that she could not control herself and directly used the poisonous silver needle to prick the playboy into a eunuch.

"Butler, you don't need to apologize to them. Just let that disciple stay away from me in the future." She encountered so many bad things, and she was even more lazy to waste time on such people.

Jin Mingyuan was rejected again. He said to the butler with embarrassment, "I would like to ask the butler to tell Miss Tang, and said that the emperor had been scolded by the emperor because of the dog son and promised the emperor to come to the door to apologize."

The housekeeper had no choice but to tell Tang Huizhu the details again. Only then did she realize that the emperor specifically scolded Jin Mingyun for being unable to teach her children in the court. She felt indescribable touched.

After thinking about it, he finally let Jin Mingyun bring Jin Yuanbao in without much pleasure.

Jin Yuanbao no longer had the arrogance of yesterday and knelt down at Tang Huizhu, whether it was true or false, at least he lowered his head. "Yesterday, I was blind and hit the girl, and asked the girl to have a lot of it, and forgave me this time. I apologize to the girl here, I'm sorry."

He said, putting the carefully prepared gift of apology on the table, including two thousand-year-old ginseng trees, the hard-to-find Tianshan snow lotus, and all precious medicinal materials to nourish the body.

Tang Huizhu said casually, "I accept your apology, but I ask the young master not to do such excessive things again in the future. When you see a beautiful girl, you have to snatch it home to be a concubine. Do you think it's right? If you want to take a concubine, you will naturally be willing to be a concubine for you. How can you use tough means to snatch it?"

Jin Yuanbao was so frustrated that his old blood almost poured out in his heart. He was obviously beaten to pieces yesterday and his bones were about to break, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. He was so aggrieved, but he still wanted to apologize, just because the girl in front of him had a backer, and his backer was more powerful than his father, so he had to bow his head.

"Miss is right, I will never do such arrogant and domineering things again, I have learned a lesson."

Tang Huizhu didn't want to let Jin Yuanbao go so easily. She curled the corners of her lips and said with a sarcastic sarcasm, "I will naturally accept my apology from my master, but don't forget that your guard beat the queen's brother several times yesterday. I don't know how to calculate the account? I really don't know if the young master had eaten the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard yesterday, and even the queen's brother dared to beat him up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Mingyun and Jin Yuanbao's faces became even more serious, as if there was a feeling of five thunder thunder thunder.

"That young man was the queen's biological brother yesterday?" Jin Yuanbao wanted to faint at this moment, and he wanted to raise his hand and slap himself twice.

What kind of bastard did he do yesterday? How lucky is he tortured these two plague gods? At this moment, he wanted to kill him, but why was he so blind?

When Tang Huizhu saw Jin Yuanbao's face blue and purple, she felt a sense of pleasure, "Sir, your best bet, it's better to go to General Weiyuan's mansion to apologize to Mr. Xu. I don't care about yesterday's incident. As long as the young master stops taking me as a concubine in the future."

Jin Yuanbao's face was hot, and he said awkwardly, "Miss, please rest assured, girl, I will never do anything wrong again. It was my fault yesterday. I apologized to the girl solemnly again."

"Since that's the case, I won't let you have lunch. I am the only one who is not married in the mansion. It's not convenient to ask you to stay. Do you think so?" Tang Huizhu issued a banished order to expel guests without hesitation.

When Jin Mingyun came out with Jin Yuanbao, his eyes turned black and he slapped his son twice again.

"I think you really want to send me to hell before you can give up. I am really going to be killed by you. What should you do now? How can I give birth to such a disaster? The Duke Yi's Mansion will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later." Jin Mingyun's eyes were so red that he could almost drip bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely.

Jin Yuanbao was frightened and cried, "Dad, stop hitting me again. My face hurts a lot. I already know that I was wrong. I will never dare to provoke beautiful girls so unscrupulously again. Isn't it okay? Did my dad want to beat me to death and feel happy?"

The Duke of Yiguo said weakly, "Continue to prepare gifts and go to the general's house to apologize."

He finally understood why the emperor was so angry. In addition to the girl being the queen's distant cousin, and because the queen's brother was wronged, the emperor loved the queen to the core, so he naturally couldn't swallow this breath. He vented all his anger on him in front of the Chinese civil and military ministers in the court.

More than an hour later, Jin Mingyun took Jin Yuanbao to General Weiyuan's mansion and stammered and explained his purpose to come.

Only then did Yang Yaoguang realize that her son was beaten yesterday. When she was not sure about the specific situation, she did not dare to break out and immediately asked someone to call Xu Zhiyuan over.

"Mom, I'm going out to play. What important things do you have to come to me?" Xu Zhiyuan stayed up late until dawn yesterday before going to bed. When he woke up today, he was listless. He had a large area of ​​dark circles in his eyes and looked very embarrassed, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances yesterday.

Yang Yaoguang's hearts were tightly clamped together, and walked up and grabbed his shoulder, and carefully checked them, "You were beaten yesterday, right? Are you injured? Does it hurt?"

"Mom, it's okay, I just got a few hits. It hurt a little at that time, but it didn't hurt yesterday." Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said with an understatement.

Yang Yaoguang stared at Jin Yuanbao hostilely, really trying to beat him up and vent his anger. The Duke Yiguo Mansion has been too arrogant over the years.

"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. Yesterday, I was blind and I actually hit Mr. Xu. I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Jin Yuanbao's knees softened, and he knelt down with a thud, supported his hands and hit the ground heavily, and apologized with tears in his eyes, looking like he regretted and refreshed.

He did not dare to be dishonest. As soon as this was the queen's brother, the queen who protected her parents' family so much, and her unapologized, let Xu Zhiyuan's anger fade. Who knows whether the emperor and the queen will repeatedly suppress the Duke Yiguo Mansion in the future? He doesn't want the Duke Yiguo Mansion to fall like this. It's too terrifying.

Secondly, if his apology is not sincere, his father will beat him hard when he goes back. He has been beaten enough today, so he really doesn't want to be beaten so much that he can't even get up from bed.
To be continued...
