Family Has a Concubine

On the first day of April, the new emperor and empress were escorted out of the palace by courtiers. Yanxi led 10,000 imperial troops, and He Pei led 30,000 Beijing guards to escort the emperor out of Beijing to Fahua Temple.

Liao Shoufu and Mr. Zhou will take care of the court affairs.

April is a beautiful spring, and everything is busy in the court, and Ye Tangcai is busy enough at home.

The day to start the trip to Yingcheng is coming. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we will set off on the seventh day of May.

The time to move the grave was on April 18th.

Before that, there was Chu Yao's first birthday, and he had to hold a weekly banquet at that time. The full moon wine collided with the national funeral, which is enough to wrong the child, so this time the two of Zhou Yetangcai and Zhou Yetangcai decided to have a good time.

But Ye Tangcai was inexperienced, so early the next morning, Wen and Miao came to teach Ye Tangcai.

When Ye Lingjiao heard the news, she also came over to join in the fun with her baby in her arms.

The Xici room in Yuntang residence was covered with soft cushions, several adults sat on the ground, chatting together, and two children crawled around in the middle.

"Get ready scriptures, wooden swords, coins, rouge, toys..." Wen said.

"If you get the scriptures, you will be a student in the future. Mu Jian is a general, Abacus is a wealthy businessman, and Rouge is... a flamboyant woman." Ye Lingjiao giggled as she spoke.

Ye Tangcai snorted softly: "Then just don't put the rouge on."

"No." Ye Lingjiao immediately retorted, "Otherwise, it's not called catching Zhou."

"By the way, what did your Tian Tian catch last time?" Ye Tang asked.

Ye Ling smiled coquettishly: "I got the pen, my Tian Tian will be a talented woman in the future."

"Hahaha! Mother—" Tiantian stood up tremblingly when she heard Ye Lingjiao say her name, and rushed towards Ye Lingjiao.

Ye Lingjiao was knocked sideways by her, hugged her and smiled: "You little pig, you are as strong as a calf."

Ye Tangcai looked envious, Tian Tian was only half a month older than Chu Yao, and now he could walk and call his mother.

Thinking about it, Ye Tang picked up Chu Yao and asked him to stand up.

Gently letting go, he stood up for a while, then immediately sat back on the ground, looked at her helplessly, and said with a small mouth: "Wow, wow..."

Ye Tangcai narrowed his eyes: "Don't cry and act like a baby! Call your mother quickly! Come on, mother——"

"wine--"

"No, no, it's mother!" Ye Tang pointed his slender index finger up and taught him.

Chu Yao pouted, and lowered his head to play with the little wooden tiger.

Wen said with a smile: "The baby was born three months prematurely, so it's naturally not as good as a full-term one. Besides, he's only ten years old, so it's not too late."

Ye Lingjiao said, "I heard that children who talk late are smarter."

"Hmm—" Chu Yao threw the little tiger in his hand, and crawled into Ye Tangcai's arms to rub against it.

Ye Tangcai snorted softly and pinched his little nose: "You! What a coquettish ghost, but you are a boy, what will you do in the future?"

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Xiaoyue walked in: "Third Grandma, post in the palace."

"A post from the palace?" Ye Tangcai turned her head, "Bring it here."

Xiaoyue opened the bead curtain and came in, handing the post to Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tang opened it, ten lines at a glance.

"In the palace, who is it?" Ye Lingjiao asked.

"The Empress Dowager." Ye Tangcai said with a smile: "In the past, the third master and I would visit the emperor in the palace on the second day of every month, and then I would visit the Empress Dowager. This month, because the emperor is out of the palace at Fahua Temple, we I didn’t enter the palace. The Empress Dowager didn’t see me, so she sent someone to call me.”

"Oh." Ye Lingjiao nodded.

Ye Tangcai had told Ye Lingjiao about this.

The empress dowager is the grandmother of the king of Liang. She was optimistic about the abolished prince and empress Zheng before, but the one who ascended the throne became the king of Liang. Therefore, the King of Liang was not too close to the Empress Dowager, that is, they were generally cared for.

"I heard that it's lonely in the palace." Miao sighed. "It's still early, are you going?"

Ye Tangcai said: "Then let's go, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

After all, it's the Empress Dowager, who sent someone to summon her, so how can I brush her face.

"Mother, grandma, you can do what you want here. Let the kitchen make whatever you want for lunch. I will go into the palace now, and I will leave the palace with the third master later." Ye Tangcai stood up while holding the child. Chu Yunpan is still going to court in the palace now, and will leave the palace together at that time.

"Okay, can we still be polite to you? I'm not a guest, so I don't need you to greet me." Wen said with a smile.

Chu Yunpan has a bad relationship with Qin, Wen is his mother-in-law, and Wen is like a master here. This is her daughter's house, how polite are you?

"By the way, did you bring your child in?" Wen asked. "How about we show you."

Ye Tangcai sighed slightly: "This little iron egg will cry if he doesn't see me for more than a quarter of an hour, unless he falls asleep."

Ye Tangcai changed her clothes, and brought her nanny and Huiran into the palace together.

After entering the palace, he went directly to Shouan Palace in a sedan chair.

Walking into the main hall, I saw a wealthy old lady in her eighties sitting there.

Seeing Ye Tangcai, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes: "Oh, you've come."

Ye Tangcai smiled slightly: "See the Empress Dowager."

Contacting her once a month, Ye Tangcai is already very familiar with her. The Empress Dowager is also a chatty person, especially children.

"I look forward to the second day of junior high school every month, but you didn't come today." The Empress Dowager said.

Seeing her disappointed expression, Ye Tangcai said: "The emperor is out of the palace, I'm afraid that entering the palace will disturb your empress's peace."

"Where is it?" The Empress Dowager snorted softly in feigned annoyance, "I don't think you can make it in time. Haha, bring the child here, and Ai's family will give you a hug."

Ye Tangcai had no choice but to carry the child forward.

The Empress Dowager teased the children for a while, and the two began to chat.

After talking for nearly two quarters of an hour, the Empress Dowager said with some embarrassment: "Oh, when will the emperor give birth to a monk and grandson for the Ai family!"

Ye Tangcai chuckled and didn't speak. She didn't dare to intervene in this kind of issue about royal heirs.

"Well, the Ai family has a few private words to tell the princess." The Empress Dowager said.

Ye Tangcai looked back at the nanny and Huiran, only to see Chu Yao in the nanny's arms groaning, never quiet for a moment.

The nanny smiled and said, "Shizi likes the parrot hanging in the corridor outside the most. Let's take him out to have a look."

Ye Tangcai nodded, and the nanny and Huiran turned around and went out.

The maids and maids all went out, Ye Tangcai said: "I don't know what the empress wants to say to the minister's wife?"

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "What else can I say, it's the issue of heirs."

Ye Tangcai knew that she couldn't do without interrupting if she wanted to: "Your Majesty, forgive my wife for taking the piss, the emperor's heir is a problem, and my wife can't help!"

"No." The empress dowager shook her head, "The emperor is not useless! He had several children before, but unfortunately they were not born. At that time, for some reason, he did not allow the backyard to have children. Now he is enthroned I was at odds with the queen some time ago, and I didn’t want to enter the harem. The emperor’s child is so temperamental... Ai’s family doesn’t dare to say him. Now it’s hard to get along with the queen and love him a lot. But half a year later, the queen There is no news at all. Ai's family even suspects that she is not in good health...Anyway, now that Ai's family sees it, he is anxious, and only hopes that he will enter the harem more often to see if there is any good news."

"Uh... Your Majesty is right." Ye Tangcai nodded.

"But the Ai family told him once before, but he didn't listen. He only went to the queen's place, and not anywhere else." The empress dowager looked helpless, "The Ai family knows that the princess and the queen have a very good relationship. This time the two return to Beijing Afterwards, the concubine persuaded the queen more, and asked the queen to let the emperor go to another palace for a walk."

Ye Tangcai drank tea with her head down. She has a good relationship with Shangguan Yun? Well, this is indeed an outsider's opinion! But between them, only you know.

Ye Tangcai had no choice but to nod: "My wife tried my best to persuade you, but there is no guarantee of success!" She would pass on the word, but she couldn't guarantee success.

"That's good." The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "By the way, you won't be eating at Fengyi Palace today, so you can eat with Ai's family! Made in the kitchen of Ai's house The food is unique."

"Okay." Ye Tangcai smiled slightly.

"Whatever you want to eat, you can just say it." The Empress Dowager gave the nanny behind her a wink, "Take out the menu and let the princess choose carefully."

The old nanny behind her agreed to leave, and after a while, brought a booklet.

Ye Tangcai flipped through the pages, and the Empress Dowager kept giving her advice, asking how this dish was and which dish was mild or salty.

"Third Grandma! Third Grandma!" Suddenly, a scream sounded, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Ye Tangcai was startled, it was Huiran's voice, Huiran was a polite person, how could she scream like that, it startled Ye Tangcai.

"Third grandma!" Hui Ran ran in with a pale face, followed by a palace lady in green.

"Presumptuous!" The court lady standing beside the Empress Dowager shouted coldly, "You actually yelled in front of the Empress Dowager."

"What's the matter?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly.

"Servant..." Hui Ran knelt down with a plop, but looked at Ye Tangcai: "My son... my son is gone!"

Ye Tangcai jumped up: "What did you say? The baby disappeared? What's going on?"

"Ah?" The Empress Dowager was also shocked, "What nonsense, this is the Shouan Palace. Aren't you watching parrots in the corridor? Xiuchun, tell me!"

The palace lady named Xiuchun said with a pale face: "Miss Huiran and Nanny Du just went out with the son in their arms, and the slaves and Ganoderma lucidum followed. Let's look at the hanging parrots on the corridor in front of us. Who knows...one of them I just jumped up and pulled Miss Huiran... Anyway, her clothes were dirty. The servant took her to change... When we came back... the nanny and ganoderma were gone... The servant thought they had gone out for a stroll ..."

Huiran was about to cry, and said, "But when we went out, we saw Mrs. Du flustered, saying that the son was gone! Mrs. Du said, after sister Xiuchun and I left, the parrot pulled something on the nurse's shoe again, and the nurse Very angry, the maid named Lingzhi took over the son, the nanny bent over and wiped the shoes with a handkerchief, and when she got up, both the ganoderma and the son were gone! We searched around, but there was still no one, so I had to report back first, nanny Still looking."

"What? You mean, Ganoderma lucidum took the child away?" The Empress Dowager turned to Ye Tangcai and said, "Ganoderma lucidum is the second-class maid of the Ai family. She carried the child out of Shouan Palace, maybe she wanted to take the child to play. Play. Children are very playful, and they want everything they see, but they forget about Ganoderma lucidum.”

But Ye Tangcai couldn't calm down: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you must get the child back now."

"Of course. Lingzhi's lowly maidservant is really out of order!" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Mother Zhuang, take someone to find that little hoof of Lingzhi for Aijia!"

"Yes." Nanny Zhuang agreed and turned to leave.

The Empress Dowager turned around and said to Ye Tangcai: "Don't worry. This is the imperial palace! You can't get lost! Ganoderma lucidum will worry the princess. When she comes back, the Ai family will punish her severely!"

Ye Tangcai was still in a hurry: "Hui Ran, go and see if the third master has come to court."

The Empress Dowager was a little unhappy, and said: "Okay. Yun'er, take Huiran to the outside of the hall."

A palace lady behind the empress dowager came out, Hui Ran followed behind the palace lady and left in a hurry.

"Don't worry! Come on, you continue to choose the dishes on this menu." The Empress Dowager laughed.

Ye Tang threw all her heart on her son, she didn't have any thoughts about picking food, she just said: "The child must be crying now, the courtier's wife went outside to look for him."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said: "Well, Aijia is also a mother, so I know you are impatient." She even stood up.

Ye Tangcai had no choice but to walk out of the palace gate with her, followed by a group of court ladies and eunuchs.

After going out the door, I saw Mrs. Du crying and walking towards Ye Tangcai, kneeling in front of Ye Tangcai with a plop: "Princess... this servant is not optimistic about the son... I have searched everywhere, but I still can't find it."

The Empress Dowager said: "That's because you don't know the way. Now more than 20 people have been sent to look for it! And they also informed the gate guards and the imperial guards, where did she go? Is it true that no one saw her? Don't worry, it's very easy." There will be news soon."
