Back at Jingren Palace, the group had eaten and drank, and their bodies felt a little tired. Let the two children go down to rest first, and she was asked by Qian to go to her house to talk and rest.

The warmth in the room made people drowsy, but thinking that this was the first time to celebrate the Spring Festival in the palace according to the rules, although they had already been informed of the process arrangements and rules and etiquette, but when they thought of the family banquet, they were also worried that something else would go wrong, so the two of them did not dare to sleep, and leaned on the warm couch left and right, chatting with their spirits, while waiting for the attendants sent by the Qian family to report back the news of the inquiry.

"The two princesses next to the queen today, do you know what the origin is? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

I was originally a little curious about this matter, and when I heard Qian's question, I thought about it and said: "The queen said before that she was unwell, so as not to save our morning and dusk, and then my side was non-constant, so there was less movement to the queen's side, but I really didn't hear her mention it." It's also strange to say, and I haven't heard Xu Fuduo talk about it. As he spoke, he looked at Xu Fuduo, who was waiting on the side, and asked, "Do you know?"

Xu Fuduo has been waiting by his side, listening to us talk about the origin of the three princesses, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped being a little anxious to speak, but the masters were talking, and those who were slaves could not intervene casually, so they could only be anxious on the side. Until I asked, he hurriedly stepped forward and said a thousand times: "The master forgives the sin, the slave did get the letter before this matter, but at that time the master was still fasting and bathing, and the slave didn't say anything about it when he thought it wasn't a big deal, and then he was busy with Zhang Luo's New Year's affairs, and he forgot about it when he came and went, the slave should die, please punish the master." ”

"Don't say anything about the New Year's Eve and don't punish you for dying, just say that your mouth is far worse than Xiao Shunzi. Qian listened to Xu Fuduo's confession, his face sank slightly, and he said lightly. Although the Qian family has a soft temperament and is very generous to her subordinates on weekdays, the people who have been in the top position for a long time have more or less developed a rich temper, and now she is also in her thirties. This age is in the prime of modern times, but in this era of general life expectancy, it is considered to be in the twilight. Over the years, I have seen a lot of life and death, and naturally I don't like to hear people say these bad things on such a festive and auspicious day.

As soon as Xu Fuduo saw that he had made a taboo in speaking, even Concubine Xi, who had always been good-tempered, spoke out, and didn't dare to speak again, but just fell to the ground and didn't dare to move, waiting for me to deal with it.

I have been friends with Qian for 20 years, how can I not know her thoughts. Naturally, I understand that Qian's unhappiness is not just because of Xu Fuduo's words, but also because of the Li family's fault-finding at the family banquet, especially when she also suspects that Dong Mei's choice of the hairpin is deliberate, so when she heard Xu Fuduo's words of defense, and thought that Xiao Shunzi was doing everything properly when she was there, she became resentful and dissatisfied with these servants and maids around me.

I have always been indifferent to these taboo words of life and death, but when I saw Qian open his mouth, I thought that I might indeed be too indulgent to the people around me to cause them to be either rash or reckless, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I am afraid that it will be a curse or a blessing to anyone in the long run.

At present, the people in Jingren Palace, Qian is surrounded by old people who have been serving her since she was in the palace, but they are reliable and safe. Only on his side has always been a person who does not look for people for everything, except for Xu Fuduo, who was arranged by Xiaoshunzi and can be close, everyone else is assigned by the palace, and the background and character of these people are really difficult to say.

As for this winter plum, although Su Peisheng specially helped select it after entering the palace, Su Peisheng also has a lot of things to do around Yinzhen, and it is impossible to take care of everything, so it is inevitable that people will take advantage of loopholes. Even if this incident today was not intentional by Dongmei, but when it happened, this person can't be reused.

Maybe it's just an excuse to use Xu Fuduo's incident as an excuse to wait for the New Year to tidy up these people around him and in Jingren Palace. Thinking so in his heart, when he opened his mouth to Xu Fuduo, his face and words were also a little cold, and he said lightly:

"You are becoming more and more careless about doing things now, I let you do things, and you dare to make your own decisions and conceal it? When is the importance of the news decided by you? One or two, but you think that I am too good to you on weekdays, and you can start to neglect it? There is also the matter of taking the wrong hairpin in Dongmei this year, you know that the emperor does not want to see Concubine Yi, and you stared at it without reminding you, this is a deliberate collaboration to make me a stumbling block?"

How can the person arranged by Xiao Shunzi be a stupid, not to mention that he can be mixed with human essence after staying in the palace for a long time, and if he wants to live in peace, he must learn to guess the master's intentions, otherwise he will be doomed if he makes a wrong step. Xu Fuduo knows very well that he is my confidant, and I naturally will not suspect that he is teaming up with outsiders to deal with me. At first, he heard that my words were not good, perhaps because he was afraid that I would blame him for delaying the news and not reporting it, and he was a little nervous and panicked, but when he heard my last sentence mention Dongmei and hairpins, he seemed to think of something at once, and the whole tense body relaxed and listened to me quietly.

Sensing his subtle changes, I guessed that he should also have a glimpse of my thoughts, so I took a sip of the teacup in my hand, took advantage of this gap to ease his attitude, and led the topic to the three princesses who suddenly appeared, and said: "This New Year, put aside the punishment in advance, and tell me what the family background of those three girls is?"

Xu Fuduo figured out my attitude, made up his mind, and hurriedly told the news he got before.

It turned out that the three princesses at the family banquet were the three adopted daughters under Yongzheng's name soon after he ascended the throne.

With a cowardly and weak look, although the demeanor is decent, but everywhere is restrained, the older one is the sixth daughter born to the "waste prince" Yinren side Fujin Tang clan, and now raised under the name of Yongzheng is respected as the second princess, until she was named Princess Heshuo Shushen when she got married.

In my memory, this princess Heshuo Shushen really had a bad life. In September of the year she was born, her father Yinren's status as the prince was abolished, and the whole family was in a state of captivity. The life of Yinren, who was abolished and restored, was not easy, and those people in his house were also in fear with him. In the fifty-first year of Kangxi, her father was deposed again, and she was four years old at that time, so she might have left some memories, which should be a very terrifying memory. The crown prince was deposed and imprisoned, and she lost her freedom with her. Although Kangxi ensured a normal supply in terms of clothing, the confined life still cast a shadow on her childhood, making her character appear cautious and cowardly. In later generations, some red scholars said that Qin Keqing in "Dream of Red Mansions" was based on her, and they didn't know how true or false it was.
