There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 454 What is a "husband and wife"?

Emperor Xianzong had limited time, so he came here to solve the problem. After issuing the order, he looked at the queen and signaled to the maid who came with the queen: "Take the empress back, let's say that the empress was fainted by those servants." , hurt your body, from today onwards, the Kunning Palace will be closed, the empress will rest and recuperate, and the palace affairs will be temporarily handed over to the noble concubine."

Dagong's daughter didn't dare to take a breath, two eunuchs and four old maids came up and carried the Empress Empress onto a stretcher, and four powerful eunuchs came in and carried the stretcher back to Kunning Palace.

After Queen Wang left, the Empress Dowager Zhou said, "I'm afraid Zhen'er is not very willing to take over the palace affairs."

The Queen Mother Zhou knew Wan Zhen'er's temper too well, so how many palace affairs are there in the harem?Wan Zhen'er is definitely not willing to take over.

The little prince also said: "Father, concubine mother is a person who has more things than less things, she is too busy to take care of the fifth younger brother."

"Then let Concubine Shao handle it." Emperor Xianzong said very casually, "But Concubine Shao is just a concubine. From today onwards, I will be promoted to Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Shao is also very good." The Queen Mother Zhou actually didn't like Concubine Shao, but Emperor Xianzong liked it, so she stopped fighting against her son.

"Eldest grandson, why...why do you want to visit your aunt?" The Queen Mother Zhou didn't believe that the little prince was doing it on a whim.

Ask the eldest grandson in front of his son, the Empress Dowager Zhou naturally has her intentions.

The Empress Dowager Zhou also came out. After being the "Queen Dowager" for so many years, she understood a truth that her son is filial to her, but this "filial piety" is within the scope of his "son", not the scope of "emperor" Inside.

The emperor has no scope, no matter how noisy the ministers are, if the emperor doesn't nod, they can't do anything.

So she didn't want the little prince to be too interested in women's affairs, that would not be a qualified heir apparent.

She likes this grandson very much. Concubine Wan Gui is also very close to the Zhou family and cares about her daughter. This is what the Queen Mother is most satisfied with.

The son doesn't have to worry about it, but the daughter needs her, especially the grandson is now grown up.

"It's because the mother and concubine are going to show the eldest sister a concubine. The grandson doesn't know how the eldest sister lives after she gets married, so he asked the scholar Zuo Chunfang to take the grandson out of the palace to see the imperial aunts. They are all princesses. , living in the Tenth Prince’s Mansion, in order to be able to see the truth, my grandson went there in casual clothes, and I haven’t changed my clothes yet!” The little prince tugged at his little robe: “Master Wu took his grandson out, because he didn’t want to It was shocking, easy to follow, and happened to meet Mr. Wantong Wan. Mr. Wan was afraid that it would be unsafe to go out with the little manpower brought by his grandson, so he brought someone to escort him personally. His grandson had prepared gifts for the aunts, but it turned out... …”

The result is not worth mentioning.

"You are also worried about your sister." The Queen Mother Zhou touched the neck of her eldest grandson: "Good boy, your Chongqing aunt..."

"Aunt Chongqing is very good." The little prince said: "When my grandson left, Aunt Chongqing was picking a wife for Cousin Xian with my uncle!"

Because the atmosphere was too heavy before, the little prince studied the situation of choosing a daughter-in-law, especially Wantong's criticism of those girls, which made Emperor Xianzong very satisfied. Jin Yiwei should have such confidence.

Empress Dowager Zhou was terrified: "Thanks to Zhongming, otherwise, wouldn't Chongqing have to choose a bad daughter-in-law?"

"Eldest Uncle said that there will be a suitable candidate in the future, and first please Master Wan to give him a hand." The little prince gestured: "In case the eldest cousin comes back from marrying a shrew."

What the little prince said came alive, which made Emperor Xianzong and Queen Mother Zhou happy for a while.

Wu Youwei had been waiting for the little prince to come back in Ciqing Palace, but at night, the gate of the palace was closed, and the little prince didn't come back, so he had to go home.

Only when I got home did I know that Wantong has something to do tonight, so I won't come back for dinner tonight. As for sleeping?Not sure either.

"Then I'll eat it myself!" Wu Youwei was listless, the weather was hot, and it finally cooled down a bit at night, and the kitchen didn't dare to cook him something too greasy for fear of losing his appetite, so he only served him water For the noodles, the stewed meat is shredded pork with green peppers. Your Excellency will not come back today.

Everyone in the family knows that adults don't like to eat chili.

In fact, Wu Youwei was just fooling Wantong to play, he has spiritual water in hand, it doesn't matter what he eats, that life can still be dripping.......

I made two more cold dishes for him, and a pot of cold sour plum soup by the way.

After Wu Youwei ate, he didn't feel it, and it was hot outside, so he had to stay in the room to enjoy the cool, and write and draw pictures by the way.

When he went to bed, Wantong didn't come back, and no one said anything, so he fell into a drowsy sleep.

As everyone knows, Wantong is busy enough tonight.

The Ten Princes' Mansion was also brightly lit all night.

After the princesses entered the palace, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the Ten Princes' Mansion, Jin Yiwei came in, and all the servants' rooms were confiscated.

Things that don't belong to them, it's profitable to talk about it, but it's stealing if you can't tell it!

Another female arrester from the six doors came to count the dowries of the princesses, and the dowry list of the princesses was also transferred from the clan mansion.

Thanks to Concubine Zhou Jing's convenience, otherwise, he would not have found out the dowry lists of all the princesses so quickly.

There are very few people in the princess mansion who have not made mistakes. The woman in charge steals the princess's jewelry and ornaments, and the father-in-law withholds the expenses of the princess mansion.

The daughter of the big palace pretends to be the monthly money of the ordinary court lady; the ordinary court lady can only swallow her anger.

There is also the beautiful Omiya daughter hooking up with the son-in-law, and the son-in-law only thinks about the beautiful woman and not the princess....

Wantong really worked hard for his eldest niece.

There is no cover up at all, all the opponents and those who seduce the son-in-law have been revealed.

The next morning, without waiting for the morning court, Wantong led his people to directly search all the houses of the son-in-law with problems!

Of course, Zhou Jing’s family, the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Chongqing, does not need to be confiscated, nor does the family of Ma Cheng, the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Yixing. There are also several princesses who are honest people, but those like Xue Huan, the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Changde, have to be searched. Check it out.

However, when Princess Yixing knew about it, she even sent someone to greet Wantong and asked him to go to the house of Ma Cheng, the son-in-law, to "see".

This Eldest Princess of Yixing is a formidable person, she is worried that the son-in-law is outside, fearing that he will not be able to control her waistband.

Wantong was also not polite, and he took people to copy Ma Cheng's son-in-law's house in order to save face.

In the end... a concubine and two sons of Ma Cheng's son-in-law were copied out!

It turned out that Ma Cheng's son-in-law had a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, but if he married the princess, he couldn't marry another, and it was impossible for him to take a concubine. Moreover, the eldest princess of Yixing only gave birth to two daughters, but no son yet.

And this cousin gave birth to two sons for him!

Now it's lively.

Wantong had no choice but to go to the palace to report to Emperor Xianzong after the early court.

"Where did Yixing feel sorry for him? He came from a mere mud-legged family, and he was a high-ranking man with Yixing, and he even had a cousin from childhood? Why did you like your cousin so long ago to choose a son-in-law?" Because when the eldest princess of Yixing chose a son-in-law, she was Emperor Xianzong presided over it, of course I remember Ma Cheng.

Back then, Ma Cheng was the most simple and honest among all the candidates, he blushed when he smiled, and said that no matter what happened in the future, he would never accept a concubine, and hoped to treat the princess with respect as a guest, and raise his eyebrows in the same way.

Ma Cheng has studied, but he is not outstanding. He only passed the exam as a scholar, and he can meet the land tax at home.

It’s just that Ma Cheng seems to be honest, but he is actually a good-looking person. No matter how well-maintained the princess of Yixing is, she is getting old, but his cousin is more than ten years younger than Ma Cheng. Very good, but I can't stand the change of this person's identity, and the person gradually changes.

In the end, Ma Cheng and this little cousin were called "Master" and "Madam" at home, while outside Ma Cheng was the son-in-law, and that cousin was "Madam".

Of course, they didn't dare to disclose their relationship, and the only thing they didn't know was Ma Cheng's cousin. Besides, the Ma family was a landlord, a commoner class, and there was no intersection or overlap with the life circle of Princess Yixing.

So it has been five or six years, and it has not been discovered!

The two sons ran away at the age of four or five, calling the little cousin "mother" and "mother", and calling Ma Cheng's son-in-law "father" and "father".

How could Emperor Xianzong not be angry?

Where is the eldest princess of Yixing placed in this way?

Princess Yixing didn't know about it yet, and Wantong was the first to ask Emperor Xianzong what to do.

After all, the other party is a son-in-law, although there is something wrong, but it should not be Wantong to deal with it.

"Shut up in the Imperial Prison!" Emperor Xianzong said, "We'll talk about it after I discuss it with my sister."

After all, Yixing still has two daughters and brothers who are outside.

"Then what about the rest...the sons-in-law?" Wantong asked, "They are all... sent to prison?"

"Everyone will be sent to prison!" Emperor Xianzong was annoyed to death.

Some of these sons-in-law have affairs with court ladies, and some secretly take concubines at home. What's the matter?

If you want to take a concubine, don't you take part in the selection of a concubine?

Now that Emperor Xianzong wants to kill them, he has to consider the feelings of the princesses.

Not to mention how depressed.

And outside, it was completely lively.

The sons-in-law were also wronged. When they went to see the princess, the housekeeper asked for favors from them. It was understandable to give something, but their appetite became bigger and bigger. Seeing the princess cost money!

It can range from five or sixty taels to more than a thousand. Those from honorable families are fine and don’t care about that little money, but most of the sons-in-law are from ordinary families. It is really incomprehensible, why do they have to spend money to see their wives?

To be ordered around by a servant girl, and the princess doesn't care about it?

After a long time, the princess and concubine who don't have any feelings for each other, what good results can there be?

There are a lot of women outside, anyway, the princess will not come out and walk around in the ten princes' mansion, let alone chatting with her uncle and aunt, so the princess is an honor, and she can live her own life by herself.

The only one who suffers is the princess, which is equivalent to being a widow!

Who cares about that?

From their point of view, the princess lives in the ten princes' mansion with gold and jade, so where in the world are they still suffering?

But Wantong led people to surround the ten princes' mansions, and even ransacked the houses of several son-in-laws, which made them unbearable.

Qin Hui still has three friends, not to mention the sons-in-law.

Their origins may be different, but they are also son-in-law.

So they got entangled together and wanted to enter the palace to intercede.

On the other side, Wu Youwei came to the upper study room of Ciqing Palace early in the morning.

The one used by the prince is called the upper study room, and the one used by the emperor is called the imperial study room.

The little prince was already sitting, but he still didn't see Wantong.

"Why don't you see Master Wan?" Wu Youwei asked the little prince.

"Little uncle seems to be very busy." The little prince was also a little absent-minded, and the child leaned on his chin with one hand and said: "Sir, what are husband and wife?"

Wu Youwei smiled: "Husband and wife are a kind of relationship between human beings. It refers to the main role relationship in the family where a man and a woman who are physically mature are bound together by marriage. , A man is called a husband, and a woman is called a wife. Once a husband and wife are united, they will naturally form an orderly family role relationship. If one party is not tolerant and forbearing, the relationship between husband and wife will exist in name only or even disintegrate. Both husband and wife can only consciously share their own possessions, help and achievements The obligation to meet the needs of the other party does not have the right to require the other party to meet their own needs according to their own expectations and to be the judge of the other party's behavior."

Wu Youwei's explanation is the definition of husband and wife in later generations, not the understanding of husband and wife in this era.

The little prince understood a bit after hearing this: "Then... the emperor father and the queen mother are husband and wife, but...but...."

Wu Youwei asked him, "But what?"

The little prince whispered: "But why, the father doesn't tolerate the empress at all? The mother passed out yesterday, and the father... took away her right to manage the harem and handed it over to Concubine Shao Shu."

This made the little prince even more curious about the "husband and wife". The eldest aunt of Chongqing and the eldest uncle of the horse are husband and wife, and they seem to respect each other like guests; then why can't the father and the mother be on the same level?
