The Wife is First - 77 Chapter 77 No fight

Qiu rested in Prince Cheng’s Mansion before going back in the evening. Jing Shao took back all the rewards that the female family could use, and brought them back to his mother-in-law.

“Your Majesty, these things are over-the-counter, I can’t use them.” Mrs. Qiu looked at the golden phoenix hairpin on the plate and said helplessly. This kind of hairpin can only be used by ladies of second rank or above. She is a concubine and only has a third rank title.

“There’s no need to hold it and look at it, or give it away. There are no female relatives in Prince Cheng’s palace, so keeping it would be a waste.” Jing Shao said disapprovingly. In fact, no one dared to say anything even if he used it. After all, it was a gift from the emperor, and Prince Cheng would pass it on to others. it is also fine.

Mrs. Qiu got on the carriage with a smile on her face. Mu Hanzhang turned back to Jing Shao and said, “I’ll go talk to father. You can eat dinner by yourself.”

Jing Shao raised his hand to push back a strand of his hair that ran in front of him, and said dissatisfied, “I’ll go too.”

Mu Hanzhang laughed and said, “I can’t tell my father where you are.” After all, it was a family scandal, and the Marquis of Beiwei might be furious if his boss was exposed in front of the prince.

“Okay then,” Jing Shao helped his princess into the carriage, “Then I’ll go to my brother’s place to have some food, and I’ll pick you up later.”

Logically speaking, you shouldn’t stay at other people’s homes for dinner. Although Jingchen was very happy that his brother came here to have dinner, he still had to reprimand him: “How unbecoming is it to run around at night?”

“My daughter-in-law has returned to her parents’ home, and no one cares about me.” Jing Shao sat down at the dinner table and said confidently.

Jingchen had no choice but to order someone to bring in another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Princess Rui has not yet given birth, and her concubine has never been allowed to serve at the table, so Jingchen also eats by himself, which is much more lively with his younger brother accompanying him.

“Mrs. Yongchangbo went to Yongning Palace today.” Jingchen asked someone to bring a bottle of wine and had two drinks with his brother.

“Yongning Palace?” Jing Shao took a bite of the chicken leg and raised his head in confusion, “The Queen Mother doesn’t care about anything, what is she doing there?”

“Crying and fussing, Yan said that King Cheng beat Uncle Yongchang, and roundaboutly said that the Jing family had treated Zhongliang badly.” Jing Chen slowly drank a glass of wine.

“Let her make trouble. If this word reaches the ears of Father, Uncle Yongchang will not be able to eat it and walk away.” Jing Shao sneered. Have these people been kicked in the head by a donkey recently? Just do something stupid.

“Of course she won’t say this directly.” Jingchen shook his head. Although the Queen Mother in Anning Palace didn’t care about anything, her identity was there. If Mrs. Yongchang Bo went there to cry, the news would soon spread throughout the capital. She was talking about how the ancestor Yongchang Bo who conquered the world for Taizu could only get an earl. Now after becoming a king and defeating Zhongliang, he also wants to make his princess a marquis. There is no such truth in the world.

“Hmph, after all, they still can’t stand the idea of ​​conferring a title to Jun Qing.” Jing Shao said angrily, thinking about Jun Qing’s innocent smile yesterday, he would earn this title for his princess no matter what.

Mrs. Yongchang Bo is staying in the palace tonight, and I am afraid there will be more trouble tomorrow. If the Queen Mother really intervenes at this rate, the matter of the title of Marquis may really be postponed. After all, the Queen Mother’s identity is there, and the Emperor will not She must really want to give Princess Cheng this title.

Jingchen put down his cup, pondered for a moment and said, “I have an idea.”

The two brothers got together and discussed for a long time. Jing Shao put down his job and was about to run out, but Jing Chen grabbed him and said, “Why are you in a hurry? Come with me to see your nephew first.”

Jing Shao didn’t understand what was going on, and was scolded by his brother again. He said that the one who was anxious about this matter was the one asking for help, and he needed to show a posture before the matter could be done. Understanding what his brother meant, Jing Shao had no choice but to follow his brother to see his nephew.

There were two small cradles placed in the Nuannuan hut. Jing Shao went over to take a look and saw that they were actually two children. He couldn’t help but look at his brother in confusion. Jingchen explained that the older child was born to a Wang Ji and was half a month older than the second son.

“So, my brother actually has four sons?” Jing Shao was surprised. He looked carefully and saw that his legitimate son was still young, red, with wrinkled skin. He looked quite ugly, and his breath was weak. It seemed that Not very healthy. As for Wang Ji’s child, who is older, the red color has faded, and his facial features are exquisite, white and tender, which is very pleasing to the eye.

After looking at the child and talking to his brother for a while, Jing Shao rode Xiao Hei to Bei Weihou Mansion.

“I will never do those stupid things again. You go back and tell the prince that the horses from the northwest are ready and will be transported to the capital one after another.” The Marquis of Beiwei sighed. Jing Shao asked him to sell horses before, but then Starting a business is like pouring salt. If you are found out, it will be a crime of beheading. He has been running it carefully, and he has achieved some results in the past six months.

Mu Hanzhang narrowed his eyes. Jing Shao did mention asking the Marquis of Beiwei to send him some horses privately. His father kept pushing back. Now that he was saying this, he was ready to stand on the same boat as the Jing Shao brothers. He raised his hand and said The father refilled his cup of tea: “There is one more thing I need to discuss with my father.”

“Say it.” Marquis Beiwei picked up the tea cup, which was very heart-warming. Mu Lingbao would never give him, a father, half a cup of tea.

“Brother’s body,” Mu Hanzhang paused, pretending not to notice his father’s sudden action of clenching the cup, “What is father going to do?”

Mu Jin frowned. He must have known something when he said this. He couldn’t help but sigh: “He brought it upon himself, what can I do?”

“My father already knows about this.” No longer letting the Marquis of Beiwei play a trick, Mu Hanzhang made it clear, “How does my father plan to keep the title of the Marquis of Beiwei?” The royal family will never let a useless person be the heir apparent. , if this matter spreads, if the prince is not deposed, the title will be deposed.

Mu Jin gasped: “What do you think?” A pair of sharp eyes stared at Mu Hanzhang. The fourth prince had already threatened him with this matter, and now King Cheng wanted to threaten him too?

Mu Hanzhang put down the cup and looked at his father quietly: “The two sons of the third uncle’s family are also suffering from the cold. Mother made this known to everyone, so naturally she cannot let the third uncle inherit the title.” Mu Jin’s third brother was his only direct brother. The others were concubines and were not eligible to inherit the title. Mrs. Beiwei Marquis publicized the injuries of Mu Huafeng’s two brothers everywhere to prevent the title from being lost.

Marquis Beiwei clenched his fists. That woman was really worried that the world would be in chaos: “In your opinion, what should our family do?” The look in his eyes softened slightly. The second son said this just to give him some advice. Yes, I couldn’t help but let down most of my guard.

“Li Shisun.” Mu Hanzhang said firmly. Mu Lingbao’s eldest son is already three years old, and he will be able to apply for an imperial edict when he turns six in two years.

Mu Jin frowned: “Of course I have thought about this, but Lingbao is still there, what should I say about this matter?” The prince is upright and in his prime, but he changed his name to a grandson. Others will definitely want an explanation. When the time comes, Mu Lingbao will be abolished. If something goes wrong, you have to expose it, but the result will still be the same.

“Father, don’t worry about this. My son will definitely help you do it.” Mu Hanzhang’s voice was as gentle as Jin Chang’s, but his tone was slightly slower, his words were clear, and he had absolute confidence, which was easy to convince.

“What conditions did King Cheng have?” Mu Jin nodded. Now he believed the second son’s words. After all, he was about to become a marquis, and he would not be greedy for the title in his family.

“My mother is pregnant.” Mu Hanzhang narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice.

“What?” Mu Jin suddenly stood up, “When did it happen?”

“My son doesn’t ask for anything, he just wants his father to keep them safe.” Mu Hanzhang stood up and looked at the Marquis of Beiwei. “The prince also means the same thing.”

Marquis Beiwei looked at him intently and was stunned for a long time: “Don’t you want your brother to inherit the title?”

Mu Hanzhang shook his head and showed a sarcastic smile: “It’s not sure whether he is a boy or a girl. I just hope that he can grow up safely, and I don’t expect anything else.”

Hearing this, Mu Jin thought of his concubines who had miscarriages and Mu Hanzhang who almost died. He felt a little uneasy for a moment and sat down dejectedly: “It was my father who was incompetent… this vicious woman!” Some things happened back then. I can’t tell, but now I think about it, if Mrs. Beiweihou hadn’t done it, why would it have been such a coincidence all these years? His concubine and concubine were rarely born safely, and the one Mu Hanzhang was born almost didn’t survive.

Not long after, Jing Shao came on horseback to take his princess back to her home.

“Don’t worry, even if it’s for the sake of the Hou Mansion, I will definitely do a good job in this matter.” Mu Jin personally sent his son out and promised again and again.

Mu Hanzhang nodded, put his hand in Jing Shao’s, and used his strength to get on his horse.

“There is something new today.” Jing Shao sat down with his own princess in his arms, and said to Mu Jin with a smile, “Mrs. Yongchang came to Anning Palace and cried, saying that she did not want Jun Qing to be knighted.”

Mu Jin immediately became nervous: “Is there such a thing?”

“Isn’t that right? My princess’s contribution is not as good as that of our ancestor Yongchang Bo.” Jing Shao sneered, “Jun Qing’s ancestor’s contribution is greater than that of Yongchang Bo. In terms of birth, she is not inferior to him. Father-in-law, do you think so or not?”

The face of the Marquis of Beiwei was very ugly, and he smiled dryly and said: “That’s natural.” If this matter gets too big, the emperor might just go along with the situation and not grant the title. Then it would be terrible to just give the title of Marquis of Beiwei to Mu Hanzhang. . Mu Hanzhang would not have any heirs, and the title of Marquis of Beiwei would no longer be hereditary, and the entire family would be doomed.

After finishing the conversation, Jing Shao said goodbye to the Marquis of Beiwei with a smile, and left with his princess.

Beiweihou was full of anger and walked directly towards Beiweihou’s wife’s yard.

“No!” Mrs. Beiwei Marquis screamed, “Lingbao’s health is broken, and I have my eldest grandson, so it’s not his turn to get married and inherit the title!” She has worried too much these days, and she has become ten years old. Years old, now shouting loudly, looking a bit scary.

“As long as the emperor can successfully ennoble him, the position of Marquis of Beiwei will not fall to the wayside.” Marquis of Beiwei said with suppressed anger.

“Just because he still wants to be granted a title?” Mrs. Marquis of Beiwei heard this, and her voice became louder and louder. He was born from a cheap concubine. Marrying a prince would be a promotion for him, and he still wants to be granted a title of marquis! She had spent half her life earning her son the title of heir apparent. How could he, Mu Hanzhang, get the same title as his son without any effort, or even steal his son’s title?

The Marquis of Beiwei’s wife turned around a few times and suddenly said to the Marquis of Beiwei: “Master Marquis, we can’t let this happen. The emperor is trying to cut off our family’s title! As long as the king of Cheng is divorced from Hanzhang, he will If you are not a member of the royal family, then…”

“Pah!” Marquis Beiwei couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped her to the ground. “I’ve been talking for a long time, but you haven’t listened to a single word! You poisonous woman, your heart is stained black with ink!”

“Master Hou…I am doing this all to protect the Hou Mansion!” Mrs. Beiwei Hou jumped up and said sharply.

“Shut up!” Hou Beiwei yelled, “Why do you keep the Hou Mansion just because of your crippled son? Or because of your grandson who can’t even speak a word?”

Mrs. Beiweihou listened blankly to her husband’s scolding, and finally covered her face and cried.

“Listen carefully to me. We are on the same boat as King Cheng now. As long as Hanzhang can be successfully granted the title of marquis, King Cheng will be able to protect our descendants and the emperor will not say anything.” Beiwei Hou said bluntly. Staring at the Marquis of Beiwei, he said.

When Mrs. Beiweihou heard the word “grandson”, she stopped crying immediately.

“There’s only one thing. You have to deal with Mrs. Yongchang Bo.” Mu Jin said solemnly.
