Chapter 242 The Marquis's Mansion abuses me

Empress Dowager Hu told the emperor about Xue Mei’s thoughts: “She wants to ask His Majesty to grant her permission to open a house.”

Xue Mei has been running around all day long during this period.

She was selling favors everywhere and expressed her demands clearly.

Her great help was Concubine Dan Tai.

After the imperial concubine was so angry that she vomited blood by Xue Yutan last time, Xue Mei came to see her several times and taught her a set of yoga exercises.

"The Empress practices secretly, don't let people learn it." Xue Mei said.

The more mysterious it is, the more others will be concerned, otherwise they will not take it seriously.

The imperial concubine was indeed very jealous.

After several months of yoga training, the imperial concubine felt that her waist, legs and feet became more flexible, and her arms and lower abdomen became tighter. The imperial concubine was full of joy.

In addition, she had a kidney cut and her body did not have much problem. Compared with the past, she did not feel very weak. She was very grateful to Xue Mei.

Xue Mei wanted to open a mansion, but the imperial concubine felt that this matter was unlikely to succeed, so she tried her best to help Xue Mei turn around.

The imperial concubine is just the emperor's concubine. When she talks to the emperor, she may be rejected by His Majesty.

But Empress Dowager Hu is different.

So, the imperial concubine rarely whispered and begged Empress Dowager Hu to plead with her.

Empress Dowager Hu is in a good mood, and Xue Mei is in the palace all day long. When Empress Dowager Hu sees her, she will think of her various benefits and also wants to give her to her good grandson Xiao Mingyu.

"...Your Majesty may not know that the Yongning Marquis Mansion is really unreasonable! Concubine Xue was so indecent that she was so evil, and her younger brother was even more prodigal.

The Ai family heard that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion carried a concubine's daughter very high. The concubine even took King Yu and asked King Yu to go against the imperial concubine." said Empress Dowager Hu.

Empress Dowager Hu had heard of these words before.

This time, Dan Tai came over and cried in front of her, saying that her son was unfilial.

Empress Dowager Hu was quite touched when she heard this - her son was just like that.

"I'm sorry Princess Chengyang, who lives in a broken house at home and spends additional money on food and drink. I heard that last time she was forced to hang her because of a dog." Empress Dowager Hu said.

The more I talked about it, the more angry the Empress Dowager Hu became.

Xue Mei is so good as a woman.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this.

Xue Mei, whom he had seen, was quite a bit unlucky, and she didn't even take him as the emperor seriously.

The emperor naturally thought that Xue Mei was also a local tyrant at home.

"My mother, don't listen to nonsense." The emperor didn't believe it very much, "I see that Princess Chengyang is not like this, so she won't be bullied."

"You don't understand!" said Empress Dowager Hu. "How arrogant you are outside is based on your ability; if you are at home, filial piety is suppressed. How dare she act rashly in front of her grandmother and father?"

emperor:"……"

This is too gigging to Xue Mei's face.

With her personality, can she still have "filial piety" in her eyes?

It is true that you are unwilling to accept the control of your family. It is nonsense to say that you are abused.

"She is the princess you named him. What's wrong with her being allowed to open the house early? If she doesn't obey filial piety, she should get married at such an old age.

If you marry someone, you can naturally open a house." Empress Dowager Hu said, "The Ai family is not forcing you, you can do it yourself. If you still remember that she has kindness to your mother, let her open a house."

Emperor: "Mother, the treasury is now tight, and the Ministry of Works has no money to allocate it to build a mansion for her."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this. Princess Chengyang paid for it himself. She had earned a lot of money from her oil-paper umbrella," said Empress Dowager Hu.

The emperor's heart moved slightly.

Oil paper umbrellas are indeed very profitable.

Since the imperial court listed tung croakers as the official camp and were not allowed to trade them privately, and tung croakers could be taxed, Xiao Mingyu's business has been making money every day.

He gave half of the money to the emperor's private treasury.

It is only early May now, and the silver sent to the emperor has been hundreds of thousands of taels.

Xue Mei also accounts for 10%, so she has at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in her savings.

She is quite rich.

She could take care of herself when she opened a house, and maybe she could do some business with Mingyu to make money for the emperor.

The emperor and the empress dowager's health depended on her to take care of her.

"My mother, I send someone to investigate. If the Yongning Marquis Mansion did treat her badly, I will make an exception and allow her to open the mansion." The emperor said.

Queen Mother Hu was very happy: "Let her come back and kowtow to His Majesty and thank you."

When you open the Princess’ Mansion, it is naturally the same as when you open the Princess’ Mansion, you need to have official documents from the Ministry of Rites.

It is natural for the princess to get married and open a mansion. If Xue Mei got married, she would naturally have a mansion for the princess.

But she didn't, and she couldn't marry within two or three years, so the matter was very complicated.

How do you explain to the Ministry of Rites to open a house for her?

During the morning court, when talking about Enko, the emperor mentioned Xue Mei, saying that she had proposed the idea.

Because this idea has not hurt the interests of the prominent clan at present, naturally no one scolded Xue Mei for this, and only praised the emperor for accepting all the virtuous words, and was actually a wise ruler.

"I heard that Princess Chengyang, who was granted imperial title, was abused in Yongning Marquis' Mansion?" the emperor suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned.

Xue Chi, who was standing at the end of all officials, was also a little surprised when he heard this.

The courtiers looked at each other.

Want to discuss this matter in the morning court?

"Princess Chengyang is my title, and it is related to my face. If I beat her, I will hurt me. Do you think it is a trivial matter?" asked the emperor.

The ministers quickly said that they didn't dare.

"Dali Temple investigates this case, for example, Princess Chengyang was forced to invest in a burger, and had to spend money on food at home, and the house was dilapidated, etc., to see if it is true." The emperor said.

The Minister of the Dali Temple immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, in this hall, the Minister of War is the princess's uncle, and the head of the Ministry of Rites is her brother, why not ask them?"

Everyone looked at Xue Chi and Xue Jingsheng.

Xue Jingsheng first made a list: "Your Majesty, I am a concubine's son in my family and was expelled from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. When I was in my house, it was true that the princess would invest in money, and the food and money were also true. The courtyard was dilapidated and the Marquis' Mansion was dilapidated everywhere."

When the court officials heard this, they seemed to be in a panic and whispered.

Xue Chi was also called to the forefront by the emperor and asked him whether it was true or not.

"…I invested in the market last year. At that time, the empress was still paralyzed. I don't know the specific reason, but I only knew that it was because a dog started fighting.

It is true that the food costs money, but the princess herself is sarcastic and she needs additional supplements, so she gives the money. It is not that the Marquis's Mansion does not provide food." Xue Chi said.

Every word he said was to defend the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, but when everyone heard it, they knew that the Marquis' Mansion abused Xue Mei was the real thing.

What a tricky person is, isn’t it just that the food given by the Hou Mansion is not good?

Isn't this abusive?

The emperor was furious: "It's outrageous! The princess is second only to the princess, and is the title of my niece. The Yongning Marquis' Mansion despises me so much, and comes to scold the Yongning Marquis!"

After saying that, the emperor read an imperial edict to scold the Marquis of Yongning, and asked someone to write it and went to the Xue family to announce the edict.

At the same time, the emperor said to the Ministry of Rites: "Since the princess is abused, he cannot be wronged anymore. The Ministry of Rites has prepared documents and opened a mansion for Princess Chengyang."

No one of the court officials opposed it.

How to object?

Princess Chengyang, who said to the emperor, you regard him as your niece, was forced to commit suicide in the Marquis's Mansion and refused to eat enough. Let's just bear it?

Isn't this a curse?

Besides, the princess will open a mansion sooner or later. It is just a precedent to open a mansion before she gets married.

Just like Enko, there are always precedents.

Besides, this matter did not hinder anyone's interests. The Minister of War and the Head of the Ministry of Rites admitted this matter, which shows that they are on Princess Chengyang's side, so why should others be evil people?

This matter was settled quickly.

The imperial edict came to the Xue family again.

This time, it was not for Xue Mei, but for Yongning Hou.

Yongning Hou was so surprised that he almost laughed, so he quickly changed his clothes to answer the order.
