"Then I'm afraid you've chosen the wrong place for the Three Treasure Palace. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "I didn't interfere at all in the matter of choosing the twelve and thirteenth concubines, and naturally there was no place for me to speak." ”

"I shouldn't have come to you for this, but I saw that something was going to happen. My prince used to be in the palace, and the twelve were very deed, and after coming back, he sighed for a long time, and I couldn't do it, so I asked myself to come to the mother to talk about it. Princess Li said, "Whether this thing is done or not, in the end, I will do my best, and the prince does not have to regret it." ”

"Is there anything wrong with the characters personally selected by the Queen Mother and the Empress?" Qin Yunyi said, "Actually, if you want me to say, the twelfth mother is still living in Yushou Palace, if you really don't like it, say it to the Queen Mother, it's no better than you coming back to me." ”

"The twelfth mother was originally just a Jieyu, after the collapse of the first emperor, His Majesty raised it by one level, and now it is Taizhaoyi, both mother and son are honest people who dare not make mistakes, she does not have the dignity and the courage to mention it to the Queen Mother. Princess Li said, "What's more, the Queen Mother has ordered the twelve people, and the Queen Mother is still close to the Queen Mother?"

"Huh?"

"She is the eldest brother of the Queen Mother's eldest daughter, a daughter born after marriage. Princess Li said, "Although she is a concubine, she is the pearl of Cheng'en Gong's palm, and she has been chosen to marry Ning Shanbo's second son, and now it is their eldest daughter who wants to say to Twelve, who is three years younger than Twelve." ”

"Twelve is going to get married and leave the palace, he will be fifteen years old next year, and that girl will only be eleven years old now?" Qin Yunyi asked, she was a little surprised, "It is said that she should not be selected at this age." ”

Nowadays, it is common for men to be of marriage age 18 to 20 and women to 16 to 18, and it is said that the marriage will be two or three years in advance. The prince got married at fifteen, and that was because the prince was too old to avoid the harem, so he got married early and left the palace. Except for child daughters-in-law or special circumstances, it is rare to marry off their daughters at the age of twelve, especially those from wealthy families, the later the daughter stays, the more the family values love, and marrying the daughter too early will be poked in the back.

"yes. Princess Li said, "But the Queen Mother's family is reluctant to have a princess's position, the Queen Mother agrees, and the Queen Mother will not disobey the Queen Mother, after all, the thirteenth princess is from the queen's family." ”

"When she's young, she'll always be older. Qin Yunyi said, "After waiting for eighteen, the age difference between three years old is not much." ”

"If it's young, forget it, twelve is not too old, men and women are not in a hurry, wait a little longer, and others are just a joke that it is a doll to run a family. Princess Li said, "But the niece of the Queen Mother is not an idle person, she is fierce and jealous, and until now, her husband's family has nothing left except for a daughter she gave birth to." ”

"Anyone who serves her husband is a bowl of soup that cuts off children and grandchildren, and some dare to secretly get pregnant, beat the child down for birth, and then sell it to the pickling field, and is cruel to internal methods. Externally, her mother-in-law said a few words to her, and her mother-in-law fainted on the spot, and then insisted on separating from her eldest brother, just to live in two separate places, without listening to her mother-in-law. ”

"Is the family divided?" Qin Yunyi asked.

"Divided. Princess Li said, "Her sister-in-law is a real lady, and she was pointed at her nose and scolded her family for bullying people and taking advantage of the second family, where can she bear this breath." ”

"Also, Ning Shanbo only has one title left now, what is that bit of rice silver worth every year, and the master of the family only has a false position, so the big family is sitting on empty food. ”

"The niece of the Queen Mother, in the end, is the niece of the Queen Mother, where do you dare to touch her. ”

"Such a powerful mother, where can her daughter be peaceful?" said Princess Li, "Twelve heard the news from Tai Zhaoyi, so he begged my prince to help him inquire, who knew that this was the result." ”

"What's more, Tai Zhaoyi originally didn't want to have anything to do with the Queen Mother's family, after all, she was still waiting for her son to be taken out of the palace after the age of forty-five to live the life of the old lady for a few days, this daughter-in-law is the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and she is worried that she will not be taken seriously. ”

Qin Yunyi said, "Tai Zhaoyi didn't dare to speak, didn't Twelve have the courage to tell His Majesty? Your Majesty is very amiable to them." ”

"My mother. Princess Li said, "Even if Your Majesty is kind to him, it doesn't mean that he can arbitrarily negotiate terms with Your Majesty." What's more, Twelve is also worried, he told His Majesty here, the Queen Mother over there has their reasons, and then Her Majesty listened to the Queen Mother, and in the end he offended the Queen Mother, and His Majesty also felt that he was making a big fuss, lacking people's hearts, and not pleasing both sides. ”

"So the prince of my family was going to open this mouth for Twelve, but I persuaded him to go back. Princess Li said, "If there is really one person who can say and change this matter, then it is only you, Niangniang." ”

"What, I'm not afraid of offending the Queen Mother?" Qin Yunyi said with a smile.

"If I feel embarrassed, I haven't been here today. Princess Li said, "I'll drink this cup of tea and leave." ”

Qin Yunyi only laughed, and after that, the two of them really just talked about Fengyue.

After Princess Li left, Miao An asked Qin Yunyi, "Does Niangniang want to help her?"

"Do you think I should help?" Qin Yunyi asked.

"I don't know. Miao An said, "But as Princess Li said, His Royal Highness the Twelfth really wants to marry that woman, which is quite pitiful." ”

"A turnip is a pit, you don't want this turnip, there must be other turnips to fill it. Qin Yunyi said, "How do you know that the radish filled in the back is better than the front?"

"The husband and wife are the most unclear, I don't like to give people the media, matchmaking, it's okay, it's good, it's not good, it's not a person inside and out. Qin Yunyi said, "If Your Majesty tells me about this, I will help her say it, if Your Majesty doesn't mention it to me, it can only be said that it is the destiny of heaven." ”

When it's cold, Qin Yunyi always excuses himself not to go to the Ditai Palace to say goodbye, the weather has warmed up, and he can't be so lazy. Qin Yunyi went to Ditai Palace to invite An Ke, and when the queen asked them to sit down, the eyes of the concubines only looked at her.

"The concubine is in good health?" the queen asked kindly, although she knew that it was just an excuse.

"Thank you for your concern, it's almost fine. Qin Yunyi said.

"The phoenix hairpin on Niangniang's head is really beautiful. Concubine Li said, "It's just that it looks a little familiar." ”

Qin Yunyi looked at her, "The new things sent by the inner division, the palace didn't take a closer look, what's wrong?"

"I remembered. Concubine Li said with a sense of enlightenment, "Isn't this the same as the phoenix hairpin on Jin Zhaoyi's head?"

Everyone looked at Jin Zhaoyi in the last seat, she was already beautiful, Zhaoyi's share was promoted, the inner division saw her new favorite, and she would not be harsh with her, the jewelry and clothes in the new moon were new and orange, and she was a beautiful woman who was rich and rich. Among the black hairs piled up like clouds, there is a phoenix hairpin, which is really the same as the phoenix hairpin on the head of the concubine, but it is slightly smaller.

"The people in this department are getting better and worse at doing things. The queen laughed twice and then rounded the field, "The palace also thinks that the jewelry sent recently is not new, and it is all old." ”

Jin Zhaoyi was a little nervous, she lowered her head, and Concubine Li was still there and said, "When the concubine didn't come, the sisters only felt more and more familiar when they saw Jin Zhaoyi, and now they are sitting with the concubine, so they know where the familiarity comes from, Jin Zhaoyi is now more and more like a concubine." "After all, the concubine likes to dress up gorgeously, everyone knows it.

"This palace looked at Jin Zhaoyi's flowers and bones, and rose a little ashamed for no reason, this palace is already old. Qin Yunyi squinted and smiled.

"You're here, what have we become?" Concubine Xian said with a smile, "You have only been in the mansion for a long time, and you are a year older than Jin Zhaoyi." ”

"Being a year older is also a big one, and time is not forgiving. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "Twelve or thirteen are going to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Also, when we entered the palace, they were just children. The queen also said with feeling, "I grew up when I saw it." ”

"Has the Queen Mother already chosen someone?" Concubine Jia asked, "There will be a big wedding next year, and it is almost decided, otherwise it will be a little rushed." ”

"The Queen Mother has circled a few, and she will only wait for the final report to Your Majesty, and then she can invent the decree. The queen smiled and said, "You can prepare a congratulatory gift for the bride, two at a time, and don't favor one over the other." ”

The topic has been successfully diverted by Qin Yunyi, and Jin Zhaoyi also sighed in her heart with relief.

Qin Yunyi returned to Ronghua Palace, his face sank, he took off the phoenix hairpin, and said to Miaoping, "Return all the jewelry sent by the inner division to me." ”

"All of them?" Myoping asked, "or just this time." ”

"From the moment I entered the palace, all. Qin Yunyi said.

"Yes. Myohei said.

It took eight people from Ronghua Palace to return all the jewelry that the inner division had paid tribute to the inner division, and the aunt of the chief of the internal division looked at such a big battle and didn't understand what was going on, "What's wrong?"

"This is since the mother entered the palace, the inner division of the Ronghua Palace jewelry, the list is here, there are several sets of hairpin rings, it is the mother to reward people, where to go back is also marked, the aunt is clear, and I will sign a name here. Miaoqing, the leader, said.

"Why did the lady suddenly return these?" the aunt didn't understand.

"There is no reason, although Niangniang is not particular, but in the end, she is Your Majesty's concubine, she is not dressed decently, and she is a disgrace to Your Majesty. Miaoqing smiled and said, "In the future, Ronghua Palace's jewelry will be solved by itself, and the internal division will no longer have to worry about it." ”

My aunt was shocked when she heard this, saying how can this work, this is not in line with the rules, she refuses to accept things, Miaoqing also has a way, she just read according to the list, and one person is responsible for opening the box for her aunt to see, and then put it on the table on one side, and finally read it all, Miaoqing said to her aunt, "There is Aunt Lao." ”

After the people from Ronghua Palace left, the palace maid of the inner division came forward and asked her aunt, "What can I do with these?"

"I know what to do?" my aunt said with a headache, "Go and call Si Zhen and go with me to Ronghua Palace to compensate the concubine." ”

"This has no beginning or end, why do you want my aunt to compensate for it. The palace maid muttered.

"Do you still want the concubine to compensate us?" said the aunt, "This Ronghua Palace suddenly came out like this, it must be something that provoked her." ”

Si Zhen came in a hurry, looking at the large and small brocade boxes on the stool on the table and on the ground, he was also stunned, "All returned?"

"Why is that?"

"Who do you ask me and I ask?" the aunt carefully observed her expression, "You really don't know?"

"I don't know. Si Zhen looked dazed.

The two of them took these things to Ronghua Palace again, but they ate a closed door, "Niangniang has rested, and there will be no one here." ”

The two stood in front of the shadow wall of Ronghua Palace for two quarters of an hour, and the wisteria flowers swayed in the spring breeze, it should be a good time in the world, but unfortunately the hearts of my aunt and Si Zhen fell into the ice hole, and none of the cold bubbles bubbled.
