Chapter 51 Gossip

Since the Regent has the final word on the matter, this matter can be considered settled.

After the matter was settled, the people below thought carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more interesting the arrangement became.

You must know that the little emperor has been carried to Fenglai Palace since he was born, and has been raised under the lap of Queen Mother Zheng. Maybe people will have longing and affection for their biological mother, but if the little emperor has a deep affection for his biological mother who he has never met, everyone is afraid that they will not believe it. Therefore, under the pressure of Empress Dowager Zheng today, the little emperor couldn't wait to nod his head in response to Song Yuan, which is worth thinking about.

From a certain point of view, this also shows that the relationship between the most noble mother and son in the world is not as harmonious as everyone imagined. At least the little emperor is not worried about the Queen Mother Zheng, and does not have enough sense of security, so he only He would choose Song Yuan as soon as he knew that there was a person like Song Yuan. In this case, the little emperor needed a person like Song Yuan by his side, and Song Yuan also needed such an emperor's nephew with the blood of the Song family. .

As for the Regent...

With Song Yuan there, the little emperor in the inner palace would not be left alone, and Empress Dowager Zheng also had scruples, which was naturally a good thing for the regent. Moreover, it was the Prince Regent who single-handedly brought Song Yuan to the capital, and directly promoted his third-rank general Zhaoyong to the commander of the first-rank Imperial Guard. Song Yuan must remember this promotion, right?

What's more, Empress Dowager Zheng is located in the Ci'en Palace and has been in control of the palace for a long time. Wu Jianjiang, the former commander of the Guards, is also a member of the Zheng family, and there are many cronies in the Guards. In this case, if Song Yuan wanted to stabilize his feet, it was not enough to rely on the little emperor, he had to rely on the regent.

In this way, Song Yuan got the position of commander of the Imperial Guard, the emperor felt that he had some protection, and the regent also sold his favor. Except for the disappointment of the Empress Dowager Zheng and the Zheng family, it was really the best result.

Now that the matter has been settled, everyone withdraws.

Although Fu Changxi was the regent, it was difficult for him to stay in the inner palace, so he also got up and left. However, this time he didn't sit back and forth. Instead, he was one step behind, walking side by side with Pei Ge who was walking behind him.

It's not stupid that Pei Ge has his current status. He knows that the Prince Regent has something to say. While dealing with it carefully, he is thinking about what the Prince Regent will say to him at this time.

Unexpectedly, Fu Changxi seemed to be chatting casually with people, and also talked about Song Yuan with Pei Ge: "I think Song Yuan is not too young, and it is pitiful to come to the capital alone, I still think I want to be a matchmaker for him, so I can settle down. Just thinking about it, I only came to the capital not long ago, and I didn’t recognize a few people at the moment.

As he said that, he also reached out and patted Ge Lao Pei's shoulder, almost smashing the old bones of Pei Ge Lao's body with osteoporosis, and he joked like a joke: "If Ge Lao you have a Daughter, it's fine."

Elder Pei Ge: "..."

Elder Pei Ge was a little suspicious that Fu Changxi was looking for trouble and wanted to make fun of himself. However, as a minister, at this moment, he can only respectfully say: "The old minister has only one daughter, and he was married long ago. Now, there are three grandsons and granddaughters combined." Of course, Pei Ge is not old either. Tet added, "In my humble opinion, if Your Highness really has this intention, you can ask the Princess Taichang or the First Princess."

Pei Ge's words are tactful, and the meaning is very clear: the Princess Tailong and the First Princess are now all over the capital to find a princess for Your Highness, and it is very simple to have a few people on hand to give Song Yuan.

What's more, Fu Changxi said in his mouth that Song Yuan "is not too young, and it would be pitiful to come to the capital alone." Why didn't he take a look at himself in the mirror - if the old bachelors were selected in the capital, the first one would definitely be The Regent in front of him. So, when he said these words now, does he really not feel blushing?

Fu Changxi really didn't know that his face was red, but he raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and smiled casually: "Yes, considering the age, the grandsons and granddaughters of the elders are not too young... Today happens to be the day when the women's school makes the list. , the mansion thinks that there is good news waiting for the old man, don't delay here, go back earlier."

Having said that, Fu Changxi also lamented that the examination system for women's school has not been changed for many years, and it is very problematic - the certificate does not have a name on it, it is simply condoning the private sale of the certificate, and don't know how many worms have been fattened.

Elder Pei Ge was not very interested in this, so he just responded casually, still not quite understanding what the Prince Regent meant.

In this way, the two walked away while talking, until they parted ways at the gate of the palace.

Fu Changxi got into his carriage.

The guard bowed and saluted, gently asking for instructions, "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace or to another courtyard?"

"Go to the Western Hills Courtyard." Fu Changxi closed his eyes, thought about it, and then opened his mouth to instruct.

He thought: If his little apprentice doesn't come tomorrow, he will have to arrest him! Always give her a long memory!

*********

Pei Ge watched as the Prince Regent's car drove away, and then got on his own carriage with the help of his servants.

After the curtain was lowered, Pei Ge sat down lazily.

The mattress under him was soft and comfortable. He leaned on it and sat on it, and some stiff body bones loosened, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows again, thinking to himself: What is the Prince Regent trying to say today? Is it to imply that he befriended Song Yuan, or to keep him at a distance from Song Yuan?

Thinking about it, Pei Ge couldn't help but sigh again: There is a chair on the top, and there is such a master who needs to be careful and wait on the top. The days in the court are really getting more and more sad.

Elder Pei Ge felt a little bit of emotion, sighed for a while on the way, and then returned home, there was some bad news waiting at home: today, the children are learning Zhangbang, and the third girl Pei Mingzhu has failed.

The Pei family also sent someone to read the list, but Pei Mingzhu fell off the list, but Zhen Tingyun not only made it on the list, but also got a good score of five A and B.

When Mrs. Pei heard the news, she was sitting in Mrs. Pei's Rongshou Hall, with her second wife, Mrs. Pei. Hearing the news from the next newspaper, she immediately felt a surge of blood, her face burned so badly, her eyes were sore, and she couldn't help but turn red.

Although Mrs. Pei regretted that her granddaughter was not on the list, she was not in such a hurry as Mrs. Pei. Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been strong, turned red, she persuaded others: "Don't worry, it's okay to take the test again next year. ."

"Next year, she'll be in school! After three more years of study, wouldn't she be eighteen?!" The more Mrs. Pei said, the more sad she felt. Her heart seemed to be on fire, and the fire was burning. She really wished she could not live up to her expectations When my daughter came to the front, she gave her a hard slap to relieve her breath.

When Mrs. Pei saw it, it was inevitable that she would also persuade a few words. Of course, it was hard to say what she thought. After all, there was a big gap between her and Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law.

Mrs. Pei was born in a Houmen, but she insisted on the marriage contract when the Pei family was the most difficult, and decided to marry. Therefore, the Pei family valued this eldest daughter-in-law very much, and Uncle Pei also loved this wife very much. Double full. What made Mrs. Pei jealous in particular was that Mrs. Pei also gave birth to a good son, Pei Rusong, who was talented and motivated. Everyone knew that this was the next generation of the Pei family.

But what about Mrs. Pei?

The second Mrs. Pei was only the daughter of a scholar. Although Mrs. Pei had the cheek to ask for a marriage for her second son and old friend, the Pei family was in a difficult time when she came, but she was not as good as her eldest sister-in-law. The most hateful thing is that Mrs. Pei Er had no luck with her son. After giving birth to two girls, her body broke down. She suffered for several years. Seeing that the Pei family was recovering, she could not give birth to a son, so she had to bring a girl up to Pei Er. Lord, I have raised a pair of twins, Pei Manli and Pei Ruzhen.

The girls of the Pei family are all from Ming characters, Ming Zhen, Ming Ya, Mingzhu, even from the name, you can see the identity of Pei Manli.

In the past, Mrs. Pei looked at the elder sister-in-law and felt that the elder sister-in-law was really lucky, and her heart was bubbling with sourness. Now, listening to this, Mrs. Pei felt a lot of suffocation in her chest. She felt that although she only had two daughters, they were both smart and sensible, and she didn't have to worry about it anymore. Sister-in-law is much better, and naturally there are many words of persuasion in her mouth.

This sentence after sentence only persuaded Mrs. Pei to tears, and only said injustice.

Mrs. Pei has always been stubborn, and now she is really uncomfortable because of her daughter's affairs, and there is second Mrs. Pei "persuading" on the side, and she was crying like tears for a while.

As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but persuade a few words.

Mrs. Pei responded, and said her grievances with Mrs. Pei, bowing her head: "...I don't know which life's grievances have been repaired. Reading. As a mother, I begged a lot, I finally begged her to study for a few days, and then I lost the certificate after the exam! Because of her, I really want to lose my face in my life. Yes. She hasn't passed the exam yet, and she will be in school next year. I really, really don't know what to do..."

Originally, for Pei Mingzhu's reputation, it was proof that Mrs. Pei never told outsiders about this. She just wanted to wait for her daughter to be on the list, and the matter was quietly covered up. But now that her daughter was out of the list, she was angry and annoyed, thinking that she was surrounded by her own family, so she didn't hide it anymore - of course, this was also something she had held back in her heart for a long time. Seeing that Pei Mingzhu was out of the list, Zhen Ting Instead, Yun made the list. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't hold back her words.

Pei Ge came in from the outside, and the girl opened the curtain. He happened to hear this sentence, and he suddenly realized something. He asked sharply, "She lost her voucher. How did she take the test?"

When Mrs. Pei heard the sound, she was so shocked that she turned around to look, but when she saw that it was her father-in-law who was the most awe-inspiring in her life, her face was pale for a while, and she was too shocked to speak out.

Elder Pei Ge somehow remembered the gossip that the regent had said before going out of the palace, his always kind face was completely cold, and he asked again: "She lost her voucher. , what was the test like?"
