The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1855

[Chapter 1855 Qi Xuan Fanwai (13)]

It was snowing heavily outside, but the inside of Baihuayuan was as warm as spring.

Yu Sheng handed Yuxi a piece of paper and said, “The Empress Dowager, this is what Gu Jiu sent back.” Gu Jiu was the driver who followed Qi Xuan.

After reading it, Yuxi nodded: “It’s a good thing for him to have someone who understands by his side.” Dai Yanxin deliberately asked those concubines if they would like to accompany Qixuan to Jiangnan, but it was Yuxi’s. mean.

Oak-hee just broke Qi Xuan’s illusion and let him know that these women followed him not because of him, but because of his status. Although this won’t change Qi Xuan’s problem of being a good woman, at least it makes him realize that without the help of his parents and siblings, he is nothing.

Yun Qing happened to enter the room, and when he heard this, he asked, “Is there any news from Qi Xuan?” As he said, he took off his big sweater.

Yu Xi snorted and recounted what Aunt Dou had said: “After taking so many concubines, I finally met a good one.” She knew that Aunt Dou sacrificed herself to follow the soon-to-be-taken for the sake of her son’s future. Qi Xuan under house arrest. Even so, Oak-hee still admired her.

After listening, Yun Qing nodded and said, “It’s really good for him to have such a sensible person by his side.” Dai Shi is smart and capable, but he doesn’t like it very much. Obviously he doesn’t like Qi Xuan, but he can pretend to like it and think about Qi Xuan. And Qi Xuan was wrong, she never persuaded her, she just watched from the sidelines. Therefore, even if Dai Yanxin had properly cooked the Prince Xuan’s mansion and cultivated his children into talents, his attitude towards them had always been indifferent.

After thinking about it, Yun Qing said, “When she comes back with Qi Xuan, you can mention her as a side concubine.”

Yuxi didn’t make a statement, only said: “I’ll talk about the future.” Now the key is to make Qixuan better, and the rest must be put aside.

Yun Qing nodded and said nothing more.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the school is on holiday. On this day, Dai Yanxin came to report to Yuxi on the situation of Wenhua Hall this semester.

Oak-hee made a few comments after listening. Dai Yanxin nodded again and again, saying that he would improve next semester.

After chatting about business affairs, Yuxi took a picture scroll to Dai Yanxin and said, “This is what Ah Xuan left when he was leaving, you should keep it well!”

Dai Yanxin was suspicious, but she didn’t ask any more questions, but accepted the painting respectfully: “Empress mother, is the prince okay now?” In the winter, he was kicked out of the capital.

“It’s good.” After speaking, Yuxi didn’t want to talk about this topic again: “The marriage between Hongmin and the eldest girl of the Wen family should also be decided.” Yuxi knew the private agreement between the two. And at the end of last month, the eldest girl from the Wen family was already in bed.

Dai Yanxin frowned and said, “This child has made a stubborn effort and said that he must wait for the prince to come back before getting married.”

Yuxi glanced at Dai Yanxin. His eyes were calm and unwavering, but it made people feel a pressure for no reason.

Dai Yanxin’s heart skipped a beat. Even though she was valued by Yuxi, she was still very attached to her.

Yuxi didn’t answer this question, but said, “Tell Hongmin that since you have made an appointment with the Wen family to wait for the eldest daughter of the Wen family to come to the house to propose marriage, you can’t keep your word.” The most important thing about being a man is to say do it. If you can’t win people’s trust, you won’t be able to do anything in the future.

Dai Yanxin nodded and talked about another matter: “Mother, the prince leaves a message when he leaves, and asks me to send away all the concubines who have no children and no daughters.” Qixuan means to release those who have no children. After that, Dai Yanxin secretly changed the concept.

Oak-hee wasn’t interested in these things, but he still said, “If they are willing to remarry, it’s natural, and if they don’t want to, don’t force it.” This is the principle of adoption and support.

After a pause, Yu Xi said, “The expenses of Prince Xuan’s mansion are too big, so we need to reduce it by at least two-thirds. We can’t get married, I really want you to pay for your private house.” Yun Qixuan didn’t care, they couldn’t afford it. Face.

Dai Yanxin knew that Yuxi was warning her to stop and not go too far: “Okay.”

Yu Xi hummed and said, “After Brother Mao and the others get married, find them a job or an estate that can support the family, and then divide them up!” The brother Mao mentioned here ranks third in the palace. Concubine out. The grandsons of the royal direct descendants all have a date in their names, but the concubines do not.

Oak-hee didn’t like concubines, nor did he like his grandchildren. It’s just that the blood of her and Yun Qing was also shed on these children. If Yun Qing didn’t have any food to eat in the future, Yun Qing would definitely be very sad if he knew. Therefore, Yuxi also specifically instructed Dai Yanxin not to allow such a thing to happen.

“Okay.” She planned to do it even if Oak-hee didn’t mention it. Not for their own reputation, nor for Hongmin alone, can’t let these concubines have nothing to live on.

On the way back, Shui Lan looked at the scroll and asked, “Princess, is this a reward from the Queen Mother?”

Dai Yanxin hummed, but although she lacked interest, she still took the scroll and opened it.

Shui Lan was very surprised when she looked at the person on the painting: “Princess, this is you! Princess, has the queen mother asked a painter to paint you?”

Dai Yanxin was stunned when he looked at himself in the painting.

After taking it over, Dai Yanxin said to himself, “I never imagined that he would paint for me. Besides, he put his heart into it.”

Shui Lan didn’t know that this painting was painted by Qi Xuan. In everyone’s heart, all Qi Xuan’s thoughts were on the woman. So hearing this, Shui Lan couldn’t help thinking too much.

At this time, Dai Yanxin’s mind was on the painting, but he didn’t find the water blue one.

Back at the palace, Dai Yanxin called over the concubine, who had no children. Of the sixteen concubines, four had never conceived, and six had children but died.

Dai Yanxin looked at the four and said, “Before the lord left the capital, he told me that I would find a good family for your childless concubines to marry.”

Among them, Concubine Xin, the eldest who had never been pregnant, was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: “Princess, the concubine is the prince’s person in life, and the ghost of the prince in death. Princess, the cheap concubine would rather die than go.” She is thirty this year. One year old, even if you remarry, you will not be able to marry a good family. It is better to stay in the palace than to marry and be rubbed by others. Anyway, in the palace every day, I will not worry about it in the second half of my life.

Dai Yanxin said, “You can leave if you don’t want to. But if you want to remarry, not only can you take what you have with you, but I will also give each of you an extra 1,000 taels of silver as a dowry.” .

In the end, eight were willing to remarry. Those who have given birth to children and died are all among them. They were thinking that Qi Xuan would only come back if they didn’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. It is better to remarry than to stay in the house empty. Anyway, they can bear and support, and they will have a son and a half daughter after marriage, and they will also rely on them when they are old. Otherwise, if you stay in the palace, you will be alone for life.

Dai Yanxin nodded and said, “Okay, I will choose a good family for you.” This is considered a second marriage, and it is impossible to choose a good family. But as long as the man is of good character and responsible and his family is decent, then it’s almost done.

Sending out the unborn concubine is only the first step. Next, Dai Yanxin began to reduce the government’s expenses. Including her, everyone’s monthly bill is halved. In addition, the government began to lay off staff. The number of people serving around him has been reduced by one third since Dai Yanxin himself. In addition, all the people who have no errands in the house are also removed, and the guards in the house are also reduced by half.

Qixuan was under house arrest by Yuxi, as everyone in the know knew. Now that they were sent away from the capital, everyone speculated that Yun Qing and Yu Xi were tired of this son. Therefore, everyone can understand Dai Yanxin’s move. When the family had no choice but to cut costs without laying off staff to support such a grand show, the palace would soon fall.

Also because of the need to reduce expenses, in addition to cutting new clothes, jewelry and rouge for the New Year, all these are gone. Moreover, the meals are not as rich as they used to be, they have changed to one meat and one vegetarian, and there is not even a soup. If you want to eat, you have to pay for your private room. The concubines in the palace finally knew the impact of Qi Xuan’s house arrest on them.

The concubine of Xuanwang’s mansion felt that life was difficult, and Qixuan also felt that this day was like a year.

Because he was unable to travel due to heavy snowfall, Huang Zhijian rented a small farmyard. Unfortunately, this family does not have a pankang. After sleeping until the middle of the night, Qi Xuan woke up from the cold.

“Sister Dou, get up for me.” Although Qi Xuan and Aunt Dou slept in the same bed, they each had a quilt.

Originally, I wanted to call Aunt Dou to get up and go out to get firewood and come in to make it warm, but no matter how I called it, I couldn’t wake up. In desperation, he wanted to get firewood by himself.

As soon as the door was opened, the wind came in from outside, making him shiver from the cold.

After closing the door, Qi Xuan called out to Huang Zhijian and Gu Jiu. Unfortunately, neither of them responded to him.

Qi Xuan couldn’t help but scolded: “One by one, they all slept like dead pigs.” The question is, why did these people not get cold, and he woke up alone.

Qi Xuan is not a person who will endure silently. If he can’t wake Aunt Dou, he wants to squeeze into Aunt Dou’s bed. As a result, she was kicked out of bed by Concubine Dou.

Qi Xuan got up from the cold ground and said angrily, “What are you doing?”

Since Aunt Dou scolded Qi Xuan angrily last time and Huang Zhijian and Gu Jiu didn’t blame her, she became more courageous.

“If you don’t sleep yourself, will you make everyone unable to sleep?” It’s not dead, how could Aunt Dou not wake up when Qi Xuan screamed so loudly just now.

Qi Xuan instantly understood: “So you just pretended?”

Aunt Dou sneered, pretending? I and she disdain to pretend, just don’t want to talk to Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan didn’t care about getting angry, and said, “I’m very cold, you go get some firewood and come in.” Make a fire and it won’t be so cold.

Aunt Dou knew what Qi Xuan was thinking, and looked at Qi Xuan like an idiot: “The house is so short, if you want to start a fire in the house, aren’t you afraid of burning yourself here?” She didn’t want to die, she wanted to go back to Beijing to accompany her. son.

Qi Xuan was shivering from the freeze at this time: “If you want to go, you can go quickly.”

“Go, go by yourself.” After saying this, Concubine Dou rolled up the quilt even tighter.

ps:O(∩_∩)O~, I wish you a healthy Dragon Boat Festival.
