Xiao Baoxin couldn’t understand why Xiao Jing ‘ai had jumped out again.
The two of them had clearly fallen out with each other. Every time she saw her, she pouted, but she still had the face to jump around in front of her. She was the one who remembered to eat but not to fight, right?
“I told you, if you say something like that again, I’ll beat you up.”Xiao Baoxin sneered. Being pregnant with this child had delayed her a lot of things. Otherwise, she would have kicked him long ago. Would she still need to talk?
“Do you think I won’t dare to do anything in the Xie family?
Cai Wei forcefully interjected with her imagination. In the Xie family, you even beat up the legitimate daughter of the Xie family’s third wife, what more people do you have in your family?
She was worried that if Second Madam Xiao stood up and resisted, she would bump into her own wife when she struggled, so she quickly took over, -Furen, don’t hurt your body. If there’s anything, this servant will do it. Furen, leave it to this servant.”
No matter how Xiao Baoxin twisted Xiao Jing ai s arm, Xiao Jing’ ai was so angry that her face turned purple.
“You master and servant have gone too far.”
Without waiting for Xiao Baoxin to speak, Cai Wei opened her mouth to persuade him,’”‘Second Niangzi, don’t speak so much. Our Furen has a bad temper. You can’t beat her, so why bother?”
The maids and old women who looked over from afar did not dare to come forward and walked away.
Everyone knew that Xie Xian was now an extremely important official and had truly carried the banner of the Xie family. Moreover, he was a person who doted on his wife excessively. Usually, he was already holding his hands in fear of melting. Now that he was pregnant, he was a person who could do whatever he wanted in the entire Xie family. No one was willing to step forward and attract taboos.
He pretended not to look at her, and not only did he pretend not to look, he did not dare to spread rumors after he left.
Back then, the new daughter-in-law had dared to beat up the children of the Xie family and the maids of the third household. It was a shock to these servants. They dared to gossip about anyone, but they did not dare to gossip about her.
– Did you see it?” Xiao Baoxin smiled, his beautiful eyes moving. “This is my house. Do you think they dare to speak up for you or accuse me? You dare to come and find trouble with me? Do you think I’ll spoil you?”
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s face was completely swept away, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Regardless of whether she could win or not, she really couldn’t do anything about this problem of fighting easily. She couldn’t beat him.
What kind of person raised what kind of bird? Even Xiao Baoxin’s maid was so arrogant.” Let go of me. You’re just a slave. Do you have the right to hit me?1“‘ Cai Wei was as unmoving as a mountain. She was not qualified to make a move, but the Second Mother Xiao who spoke had the qualifications to shout at other people’s servants?
When Xie Xian returned to the manor, he saw this scene from afar. His maid was using the grappling hand, and he didn’t know who she was betting on. Their clothes were bright, and their status was not bad.
It was only when she got closer that she saw that it was her own wife’s cousin who lived next door. It was Second Lady Xiao.
The wife of the master of Yang Shao’s residence.
He and Xiao Baoxin had already agreed that if there were no government affairs, he would go to the Imperial Censor’s Office with her. If he could not go, Xiao Baoxin would also bring a heavy gift.
It was obvious that he couldn’t get away today, but thanks to Xiao Ning, Emperor Yong Ping knew that today was her coming-of-age day, so he asked him to bring a congratulatory gift over. Only then did he return to the residence early.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, all kinds of matters were extremely trivial.
Before those provincial governors who had been summoned to see Emperor Yuheng left, Emperor Yuheng died, so they all stayed in Jiankang. From the moment Empress Wang launched the coup to the moment the new emperor ascended the throne, these provincial governors had no chance to leave.
In the past, Emperor Yong Ping only wanted to destroy Empress Wang and the Crown Prince, and then he could rest easy.
However, the congratulatory memorials from various places gave Emperor Yong Ping a heavy blow. After hearing Xie Xian’s words, they were shocked to realize that the court situation was so complicated and changeable. For a moment, they were somewhat numb.
He didn’t know if he should let these provincial governors go or leave them in Jiankang.
If they were all sent back, would they inherit the position or switch places so that they wouldn’t be able to bully them for a long time and let them grow bigger?
These few days, they had gathered the ministers for a meeting and released the undisputed ones from Jiankang first.
After releasing six or seven of them, the provincial governors who stayed behind felt a little scared. No one knew what the new emperor’s temperament was like. If it was a fatuous emperor who liked to kill, their heads would be lost. They immediately used their connections to move around and wanted to hurry back to their posts.
Xie Xian supported the provincial governors to return to their places as soon as possible. A group of dragons could not do without a leader, and the lower levels would be in chaos. However, it could not help that the ministers in the court were very afraid. With both sides pulling a big saw, Emperor Yong Ping could not act arbitrarily, so he returned batch by batch.
Today, he should have met the last two provincial governors. One was the eldest son of the former Zhou Chancellor’s family, who had a lot of disputes in the local area and had some tough methods. The other was the Jiaozhou provincial governor, Song Xingyuan.
Song Xingyuan was the new emperor’s uncle, but he was younger than the new emperor, only sixteen years old.
When Emperor Yu Heng ascended the throne and massacred the imperial clan, he saw that this little brother was too young and could not do anything, so he let him go. He was conferred the title of King Yiyang and sent far away to Jiaozhou to be a provincial governor without military power.
If the Zhou provincial governor was because the Zhou family and the Xiao family were on bad terms, and Emperor Yong Ping was concerned about Sikong Xiao, he would always want to replace him and leave him for the last time, then the Jiaozhou provincial governor was simply too inconspicuous and had been forgotten…
Who knew that Prince Yiyang was a narrow-minded person. Seeing that the wind was not right, he was so frightened that he fled. He actually secretly sent him out of Jiankang City with a few trusted aides.
It was only when Emperor Yong Ping summoned him that the people below realized that Prince Yi Yang was gone…
Emperor Yong Ping was frightened. This was not as simple as running away. The entire world was the land of the king. If he ran, he would not be able to escape from Daliang. If he went back, he would be held accountable by the central government, but he still ran away.
That meant that they were not afraid of being held accountable. They might not have thought about it after running away. They might go back and rebel.
Immediately, he sent Xue Jing ‘er to lead the troops to pursue.
Because Xue Jing ‘er and Xie Xian had gone to Kuaiji to quell the rebellion, they carried out the Earth Punishment. After returning to Jiankang, they were deeply loved by Emperor Yuheng and were granted the title of General of the Left Guard Palace.
When Emperor Yong Ping ascended the throne, Xie Xian recommended him to be the leading general and took over Xue Mu’s position.
Because of Prince Yiyang, Emperor Yongping had no more thoughts. He only met with the governor of Zhou and appointed him as the governor of Jiaozhou. He took office on the same day and dismissed the governor.
Governor Zhou complained endlessly. He was previously the governor of Xiangzhou, and he could not be said to be very rich, but at least there was no chaos.
Lord Yiyang wasn’t someone who could run away easily. If he was caught, then so be it. If he wasn’t caught, then what kind of responsibility was he? Even if he went over, he would be courting death.
However, Emperor Yong Ping was a man of his words, so he could not say anything about it. He resentfully received the imperial edict and returned to the residence.
Privately, they believed that it was Xie Xian who had set up the trap. At that time, it was Zhou Siniang who had offended Xiao Baoxin and was sent to the nunnery outside the city by Empress Wang’s order. Chancellor Zhou was also dismissed from his post because of this.
The second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Dun, had also been involved in this matter because he had verbally offended Xie Xian. Now, it was his turn. Emperor Yong Ping had helped the Xie and Xiao families lift the sedan chair onto the dragon chair. If it wasn’t for these two families obstructing them, even if he was transferred, he wouldn’t have been thrown to Jiaozhou like he was banished.
Although he agreed verbally, after returning to the residence, he closed his doors and refused to come out. He claimed that he was ill and did not obey the imperial edict. Not long after, he was dismissed by Emperor Yong Ping. Of course, this was for later..
