Chapter 448: Chapter 449

This question Jian Xu Bai pondered for a while before vaguely saying, “It’s just a child’s fight, where is it worth remembering for so long? Besides, when King Shu goes to the Eastern Palace, he may not mention King Su.”

Song Yixiao sniffed and fell silent.

She recalled that when the smallpox incident occurred last year, how obvious was Emperor Duanhua’s desire to eliminate the two kings of Su Xiang?

This time, no matter whether King Shu mentioned King Su or not, since even Xie’s family thought that King Shu’s nature is the result of King Su’s habit, what will the Duanhua Emperor think? Since even Xie’s family has thought that King Shu’s character is spoiled by King Su, what will Emperor Duanhua think, is there any need to say?

“What Second Auntie is most uneasy about is Fifth Sister.” She knew that her husband was actually powerless in this matter, after all, this wasn’t a personal grudge, this was a battle for the throne Emperor Duanhua, who had come to power by relying on Emperor Xianjia’s pulling the strings, would never feel at ease without killing the two younger brothers who had once forced him into a wretched situation.

But Song Yixiao still couldn’t help but say, “Second Auntie is in a bad situation right now.”

“Tomorrow I’ll seek an audience with His Majesty and see if there’s a chance to mention this!” Jian Xu Bai sipped his tea for a while and finally said this.

In fact, the heavy mood of the couple do not know, this will be the palace of the empress is also in the matter of headaches, “Xu mother consort side has been? What did she say?”

“When I went to the mother consort Xu is pleasant, straight said this thing is the fifth brother is not right, should not take grasshoppers messed up the crown prince to concentrate on the heart of the study, more should not go to the East Palace to the crown prince insolent, received a beating is also rightfully.” Empress Wei rubbed her brow and said tiredly, “But of course these are just words listening to the news from the people underneath, Mother Consort Xu has been heartbroken for the past two days, and when Mother and Mother Consort Jiang went to comfort her, she had pulled Mother Consort Jiang to cry to her father, and there was a ‘If the late Emperor was still alive, we, the bitter ones, would have been able to get away with this’. late emperor was still around, how could we bitter people be reduced to such a situation’.”

Speaking here, seeing Emperor Duanhua’s ugly face, Empress Wei sighed and said, “Your Majesty, there’s no need to take this to heart! It’s just the words of Consort Xu’s heartbroken son! Think about the earlier Consort Mao Consort Xu only had one child, and because she never expected him to do anything in the future, she was very spoiled! This time, although it is the fifth brother initiative to go to the East Palace to find the Prince trouble, but after all, the injury is the fifth brother, Xu mother consort to us some resentment is also common sense.”

“If you feel sorry for the child, then feel sorry for the child, we have no intention of favoring the crown prince!” However, Emperor Duanhua still felt very unhappy, “You, the Empress, didn’t you specifically go over to make amends to her and ask the doctor to give the fifth brother a good diagnosis? To put it bluntly, although the fifth brother and the crown prince are the same age, but in the end, the fifth brother is the elder, he is also twelve years old, not very small, for a grasshopper to go to the East Palace and the crown prince theory, like what words! The crown prince is certainly impulsive, but is the fifth brother not at fault? Even if the father is still alive, in this matter, it is impossible to blame the crown prince! If you have to say something ‘if the late emperor is still alive’, what does this mean? It’s as if we’re being harsh on them!”

To put aside the usual, the Duanhua Emperor will not be very concerned about the words of Princess Xu, but this period of time, he was frequently frustrated every time his hands are busy will think of the Emperor Xianjia in the time, regardless of the front and back of the Palace, dispose of things are easy and light, compared to him, this Emperor Xianjia devoted a lifetime of efforts to cultivate out of the successor, simply can not be looked at!

How can you hear the words “if the late emperor were still alive”?

But the more I think the more angry, “the beginning of the year that will be, five brothers said I waist tie the jade pendant good, I was on the spot to solve down to reward him that piece of jade pendant you know, is the father of the emperor’s life before the gift, I have been usually used, but also counted as a beloved thing. Fifth brother casually so a boast, I shed out! If I am not interested in him, will give him such a face? At that time Xu mother consort do what not say ‘if the late emperor is still there’?!”

“It’s also the crown prince who is too impulsive, without the capacity that the Crown Prince should have!” Empress Wei heard his intention to pursue, busy said, “serving his people are also some brainless, even told him to take the paperweight smashed the fifth brother in a fit of rage luckily did not hit the vitals, only shed some blood! If there is really a long or short, not to mention how we have to explain to Mrs. Xu, the reputation of the Crown Prince alone will also be over!”

“After all, the crown prince is young, not to mention the fifth brother rushed to make things difficult for him, if he can still bear to not take it personally, this is also too temperamentless!” Emperor Duanhua didn’t think so, since Emperor Xianjia’s departure, hasn’t he endured enough in the past two years?

Why should my own son have to put up with it?

“But if this matter is to be pursued, it would be hard for Miss Xiao Xie of the Duke of Laiguo’s residence not to be involved.” Empress Wei mused, “The Duke of Laiguo is an old man who has followed His Majesty the Great Ancestor, and has always been respectful, so I don’t think it’s necessary to disgrace them over such a matter! Furthermore, Miss Xiao Xie’s own sister is Cousin Xu’s wife Cousin Xu, too, has been with us for many years.”

The most important thing is that, “The Royal Grandmother these days is suspecting that we do not miss the love of flesh and blood, at this juncture, how can we ask the Royal Grandmother to get the word again?”

When Emperor Duanhua heard this, his face was ugly for a long time before he said, “So what do you say?”

“First put the imperial grandmother perfunctory is serious.” Empress Wei reached out to stroke his furrowed brow, softly saying, “Imperial grandmother’s life is not easy, stormy, we do grandchildren, which can not let her live a peaceful old age?”

How long will the Dowager Empress’s greatgrandson live when she’s expecting a child?

Why bother with this old lady hard top, bear with a simmering death of her, what Xu Taifei Shu Wang, how do you want to clean up can not be?

“The ancients made words, very sensible!” Emperor Duanhua was silent for a long time before he faintly said.

Tolerance.

When will the knife stop cutting into his own heart and be raised with abandon to those who make him unhappy?

The couple did not know that the emperor and the queen have decided to put things to rest, the next morning, Jian Xubai or in accordance with the said into the palace.

Instead of heading directly to Xuanming Palace to find Emperor Duanhua, he first went to Qingxi Hall of Mingren Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager saw him, she smiled slightly, “Why did A Xu come to see me today? Why didn’t you bring Chao Ping here?”

“Originally, I was going to bring her here, but Shan Mei recognized a righteous son in Liaozhou before, one year older than Chaoping.” Jian Xubai explained, “They are small children who are like friends at first sight, and yesterday they played until midnight before they were willing to settle down, and today they are a little bit unable to get up. I’m afraid that after forcing her to get up, she will lose her manners when she comes to the Royal Grandmother, so I didn’t bring her.”

“But don’t!” Empress Dowager busy said, “Her age is the time to grow her body, greedy to sleep let her sleep but should be controlled or should be controlled, how can such a small child let them stay up all night? In any case, she’s not in school now, so she can play as much as she wants during the day.”

He also asked about Song Xuan, “Why did your daughterinlaw suddenly think of accepting a righteous son? What kind of child is it?”

“Xuan’er is the son of the mother’s family, his father went to Liaozhou to dispose of some industrial disputes, and learned that the good Myrtle in the city, so they brought him to visit.” Jian Xubai said, “The result of the good Myrtle think Xuan’er is very suitable for the eyes, reported to the father agreed, then recognized him as a righteous son. The child’s appearance is white and beautiful, and his temperament is also very gentle and understanding, but it is an attractive person to love, after I have seen it, I also think it is no wonder that the good Myrtle likes him.”

The Dowager Empress heard this and almost had a number in her heart, but she didn’t really care about this kind of thing, so she said to Jade Fruit, “In the future, when you want to give something to Chaoping, you remind the mourning family that the Duke of Yan’s House is not two children now, it’s three children!”

“Thank you, Grandmother Emperor for your grace!” Knowing that the Dowager Empress purposely noted down Song Xuan for no other reason than to give herself face, Jian Xu Bai busily knelt down to thank him.

“You were raised by the mourning family, who does the mourning family love if not you?” The Dowager Empress kindly patted her side, “What are you kneeling for, come over and talk!”

After Jian Xu Bai rose as instructed and sat beside her, she deliberately examined Jian Xu Bai’s forehead the bruises from knocking his head when he came over to say his love last time had been very faint, and could not be seen without a closer look, but a touch of heartache still appeared in the eyes of the Dowager Empress Dowager.

Then he sighed, “You know clearly what is in the heart of the mourner, yet why bother to recruit the mourner?”

Jian Xu Bai was about to explain, but the Empress Dowager sighed again, “You can’t be blamed, the Empress Dowager gave her word, and it’s not good for you not to listen!”

“I’m also afraid that you, Imperial Grandmother, will hurt your spirit!” Jian Xu Bai hurriedly said, “His Majesty and the Empress Mother didn’t actually force the issue.”

“I have my own opinion on this matter, so you should leave it alone!” The Empress Dowager’s face sank slightly as she waved her hand and said, “Although your daughterinlaw has recognized a righteous son, he is not your own son after all! Next month when the Dai Guo couple’s 100 days are up, you should also be on the ball!”

Seeing that the Dowager Empress was concerned about her heir, Jian Xu Bai mused and raised his head, “Speaking of which, Shan Mei discussed something with me two days ago, and I was about to ask Imperial Grandmother to give me an idea?”

The Empress Dowager was concerned, “What is it?”

“Shan Mei said that before she returned to the imperial capital, looking at father’s letters, there were only two places to go: one for me and one for aunt grandmother.” Jian Xu Bai observed the Empress Dowager’s expression as he spoke, saying, “So the thought of picking up Aunt Grandmother from the Duke of Yan’s Mansion to fulfill her filial duties”

Here he paused.

The Empress Dowager listened quietly, her face expression unchanged, but her eyes showed a complex color.

After Jian Xu Bai succeeded to the third house, he took Jian Li Miao and County Princess Yi Shui as his parents, so that his maternal grandmother, too, became Old Lady Duanmu.

The only reason why I still call out “aunt grandmother” is because I am concerned about the mood of the Empress Dowager.

After all, although the Dowager Empress had several grandchildren, the one she loved and cared for the most was undoubtedly Jian Xu Bai.

Now the Jian Xubai couple to take the Duanmu old lady back to the house filial piety, if not with the Empress Dowager first greetings, the Empress Dowager inevitably feel alienated this point Song Yixiao is negligent, after all, she and the Empress Dowager do not get along much, but Jian Xubai is not, take advantage of the today into the palace, naturally, to come over to the trip.

“This is what should happen!” Empress Dowager pursed her lips, patted Jian Xu Bai’s hand, and said gently, “You child, why are you still calling out ‘aunt grandmother’ now? You’ve called Jin Guo ‘Second Auntie’, how can you still treat Old Lady Duanmu as an aunt? That is your current mother’s own mother some days ago, before you all came back, I said with Mrs. Duanmu, after Jian Li Miao out of filial piety, is necessary to support her. And you can’t possibly tell their aunt and nephew to live alone.”

After a pause, “It’s hard for your daughterinlaw to have filial piety, Jian Li Miao has not yet returned, she even thought of this matter first! According to my view, choose the day is not as good as the day, today out of the palace, you will be Duanmu old lady Yan Guo Gongfu to go, so just in time for the MidAutumn Festival, but also can be a small reunion!”

Speaking here, she smiled to herself, ”Good boy, you came to the mourning house today specifically to talk about this matter, right? What? Afraid that I will be jealous?”

Jian Xu Bai was indeed worried that the Empress Dowager would feel lost because of this but of course he wouldn’t admit it, “Imperial grandmother has wronged me! Obviously I haven’t seen you for two days and I’m worried about you!”

“It’s not like your daughterinlaw didn’t have two grandmothers earlier.” The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and did not continue to poke at him, only patting the back of his hand and saying mildly, “So you don’t have to worry that the Mourner will not be able to see you honoring Old Lady Duanmu, to put it mildly, Duanmu, she is also bitterly illfated however, if you care so much about the Mourner’s thoughts, the Mourner’s heart is also very happy! ”

After this matter was settled, Jian Xu Bai accompanied the Empress Dowager for a few more words before he retired.
