Although Yinzhen received a notice from Xiaoshunzi and Wanqing that day, he did not immediately cancel the ban in the Qian family's courtyard, nor did he send someone to take me out. However, from the fact that my meal and Qian's meal were delivered again without slackening, it can be seen that things seem to have taken a turn for the better.

I guessed Yinzhen's thoughts, but I felt that he might not want to meddle in this matter for the time being because of Honghui's bad mood in death, or because he didn't want to fall out with Chang Fujin for the sake of his concubine, so Kangxi felt that he was not strict in governing his family, so he deliberately compromised this matter first according to the wishes of the Wulanala clan, and planned to solve it later.

At night, Junko sneaked in to visit me, knowing that everything was okay, and she was relieved. By the way, he said: "After all, the little brother is the eldest son of the Baylor Mansion, and he is the heir of the emperor's grandchildren, and now he is gone if he says it, and the palace is also alarmed, and now the master is busy with official business, and he has to discuss the funeral of the little elder brother with the Ministry of Rites, and he has to take into account the face and emotions of Fujin in front of people, so Qian Gege was temporarily suppressed by the master, saying that the deceased is the greatest, and he will talk about it after the little elder brother is buried." The master also said that there is chaos in the house now, and it is inevitable that people will be annoyed. Now that he has entered this courtyard, he just accompanies Qian Gege to avoid here first, and then go back after the matter is over. “

Xiao Shunzi's words confirmed my guess and put me at ease. It is estimated that it will take three to five days to wait for Honghui to stop his spirit and be buried at the earliest, and on the day of the burial, Qian and I will inevitably be in the funeral procession. On that day, even if the Ulanala clan doesn't want to let us out, they will have to take care of the good reputation she has always guarded. Some things are like this, and once there is a gap that can be accommodated, it can be easily resolved.

The next day, someone came in and changed the color of all the joy in the courtyard to plain white, after all, the eldest son of the fourth prince died of illness and the regulations of ordinary concubines are different, and the entire funeral is handled by the Ministry of Rites in accordance with the regulations of the emperor and grandson. In the next few days of the most chaotic days in the house, the Qian family's courtyard became the most peaceful place to escape from the world, and it was not until the middle of June, on the day of the burial chosen by the Ministry of Rites, that Qian and I naturally left the courtyard.

As soon as Honghui's funeral was completed, the Ulanala clan, who had been in a trance because of the pain of losing his son, finally fell ill due to excessive grief. The right to dispose of the big and small affairs of the inner courtyard fell into the hands of the Li family of the side Fujin under the Yan Fujin with the acquiescence of Yinzhen.

The Li family, who had been silent for a long time, replaced some of the people around her on the second day after getting the right to dispose of it. Xiao Shunzi secretly heard the news that those who were replaced may be the eyeliner of the Ulanala clan, and it even includes the closest to the Li family, Zhilan.

Qian Lan turned out to be a member of the Wulanala clan, this is what I didn't expect, but when I think about it, it is indeed possible, after all, if it weren't for the instigation of Li's absolute cronies, Li is not the kind of woman who would be stupid enough to jump into the pit. Now that the Li family has woken up, judging from this silent means of replacing the hidden piles around her, she is not as stupid as she saw before, after experiencing this series of fall from grace and betrayal, and then regaining her rights, as the only woman in the current house who has children, whether it is for herself or for her son, she may no longer be the person who was so easy to deal with before. And her resentment towards me will inevitably intensify on me, and it seems that the peaceful days are really coming to an end again.

No matter what the Li family will do to me, life will always have to be lived, and there is no other way than to be careful. I returned to my courtyard and continued to live the life of a housemaid, but the only thing that changed was that there were more Qian's frequent comings and goings.

During that time, Qian relied on and trusted me almost to the point of obedience, and even if I said that the sun came out at night, she would probably agree with me without thinking.

But the most funny and speechless thing is that I found out that if this kid is left in modern times, he is probably a legendary super foodie. Since I came to my hospital to eat a meal in the hospital, I would come to eat every time I had a meal, and finally let people send the food delivered from the dining room directly to my hospital, which was called to accompany me to eat. In the end, the food in the dining room did not move, but it divided most of my food. But even so, looking at Qian's particularly pleasing appearance, there was still no way to refuse her wishes, so she simply let her rub it if she wanted to.

With the Qian family coming over to accompany me every day, the boring days are like adding a touch of color, and even Yunhui and they say that my smile is getting more and more.

But bad things always come unexpectedly. The Li family, who was in power, began to ask a few geges in the palace to settle down every morning and dusk in the posture of a hostess. It stands to reason that such a morning and evening greeting is a regulation that only needs to be for Chang Fujin, but she took it for granted that she began to enjoy such an honor.

It's just that from the moment I decided to start joining this battle without gunpowder, my life has almost become a game of chess and a gamble. Everything is deducing one step and deducing the next three or five steps. And when it comes to things that I can't control, I'm betting on what little knowledge and sense of history I have.

For example, I thought about it for a long time and finally chose to refuse on the grounds that my name was not right. It happened that Qian was also there that day, and she asked puzzledly: "Sister just said that she wouldn't go, aren't you afraid that Fang Fujin will be angry, and she will be embarrassed in the future?"

I sighed lightly and replied with a wry smile: "Fang Fujin does this for three purposes, one is to elevate her own position, so that the people in the mansion will feel that her son will be the future master of this mansion, and at the same time, she will also improve her son's status and status by the way. Second, Chang Fujin is sick, this disease is a heart disease, I'm afraid it won't be cured in three or five days. Besides, everyone in the house thinks that the Fujin who has lost her son is like a bird with broken wings, even if the children in the house have to call her a mother in name, but after all, she is not her own child, and she is not close to her, and she will inevitably lose power in the future. Naturally, Fujin also thought so, so she wanted to take this opportunity to slap Chang Fujin in the face and weaken Chang Fujin's influence. Three to the house into you newcomers, her limelight is gone, women, sometimes you can't get the favor of men, you will want to take the women who are favored by men in your hands, so as to satisfy your vanity. But ......"

Speaking of this, I glanced at Qian's and saw that she was listening intently to my analysis of Li's mentality, so I suddenly stopped talking and asked, "Do you want to be favored by the master?"

Qian was listening to me talk about Li, but I didn't know why I turned the topic to her, shook his head in a daze and said, "I don't know him, what does it matter if he spoils me or not." Besides, even if he is spoiled, it's not the same as being a concubine, like that Degege, no matter how favored he is, he can't surpass Fujin and Side Fujin, so this kind of pet is not beneficial, and it's not that you can eat more good things during the New Year. “

I burst out laughing, poked her forehead, and quipped, "You girl can eat in less than three sentences." Have you ever thought that although you don't know him, he has already become your husband, and when you grow up, maybe you will still be his woman in the future, warm his bed, receive him for him, and when you have a child, you will also want to be favored by him, even if it is not for yourself, you will also fight for a place for your child, and when the time comes, will you still be able to say this as you do now?"

Qian Shi listened to me and looked very serious, she thought for a long time, and said: "I think that although the master rarely comes to my sister's place, he is actually very good to my sister, and almost responds to requests, why doesn't my sister fight for this favor?"

I didn't get her answer, but she was generalized, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I only said: "Maybe I see some things too thoroughly and understand too well, but I don't have the heart to fight for these, as long as he can occasionally remember that there is still me as a person, and he can reach out and pull me when I need him." “

Qian saw the faint sadness in my expression, took my hand and said: "My mother died early, when she was alive, my father and her had a good relationship and respected each other, and even if my mother died, my father did not remarry. He told my brother and me that a key with a lock is the most reliable in this world, and there is only one lock, but there are many keys, which will always be remembered by thieves, which is not good for the family. Therefore, after his brother got married, he never had the idea of taking a concubine, and he had a harmonious relationship with his sister-in-law, which was enviable. Originally, I also wanted to find such a lover who could live a lifetime of Qin Se and Ming, but I had no choice but to ......"

Qian pursed her lips and didn't say any more, I knew that what she wanted to say later was somewhat resentful, and such resentment was taboo for the grace of the royal gift, so she continued: "It seems that we are really sisters, and your thoughts are not what I think." But since you can't get it in this life, you can only keep your heart and live it well. Only when you are strong in your heart can you be tenacious. “

Qian nodded and said: "The most desperate time after I entered the house was when my sister appeared and saved me, if my sister doesn't want to fight, I don't fight, anyway, I don't care if I am favored or not, it's a big deal that our sisters depend on each other, and we will have a care in the future, and live comfortably." As long as my sister cooks food for me every day, I will be satisfied. “

Qian said and giggled, and remembered that I hadn't finished what I had just said, so he urged: "My sister hasn't finished what she said just now, you can't be so appetizing, why doesn't my sister go to Side Fujin to ask for peace?"

I laughed with her, and when she asked me again, I smiled and continued, "You are a blessed one, and I can still protect you here for a while, and the only one I can rely on is myself, so I have to plan for the future." I'm not afraid to tell you, just imagine, Fang Fujin's current strength is nothing more than relying on the two prerequisites of Chang Fujin's illness and the death of his eldest son. But this Baylor Mansion is the Baylor Mansion of the fourth master after all, and the fourth master is a person who attaches great importance to the rules. Fang Fujin is now in power, but it is an expedient measure, Yan Fujin will inevitably take back this right after he recovers from his illness, and then it will be just a matter of a word from the masters, Fang Fujin is just a side room after all, as long as she can't sit in that position, everything she is doing now is in vain, but it will become a handle and a sin. "However, Fujin has no heirs now, and there will still be a day when Fujin will be more expensive than her mother and son, and how should my sister deal with herself at that time." "Although the Qian family is simply greedy, he is not a stupid person, and the women of the scholarly family have a seven-trick heart, so they immediately thought of this problem. "Not necessarily. My eyes flashed, my eyes and smile became deeper, and then her words said: "The fourth master is in his prime, and now there are so many women in the house, everyone may have heirs left. Therefore, once there are other people in the mansion who have children, and Chang Fujin will adopt the child to his side, then it doesn't matter whether Fang Fujin has a biological son or not, what matters is whose child they want to cultivate as a successor. "But then again, right now, Fu Jin is gaining power, not to mention that she is half the master of the house, and my sister is so clear that she doesn't give her face, I'm afraid it will be very difficult in the future." "Qian understands what I mean, but is more worried about the situation I'm going to face now. "I know, but the relationship between me and Fang Fujin is almost like water and fire, and there is almost no room for turnaround, in this case, why bother to bow down and look down on her face, and finally be humiliated and suppressed by her. The lesser of two evils, I must choose the side that is more beneficial to me. Now although Chang Fujin is sick, but one day the illness will be better, and the Li family will eventually lose power, so what I am doing now is to mark an attitude, there is no so-called half master here, since I have long been classified as the Fujin faction, I only have the two masters of the fourth master and the Fujin in my eyes. As for the side Fujin, even if she is the side Fujin who the emperor is marrying, she still has a side word after all, and she is the same as us, but the status is slightly higher and it is just a concubine. Do you know the rules of gambling in casinos? When everyone is overwhelmed, it's often easier to open small. I'm just making a gamble now, only by recognizing the situation, when everyone is on the side, I stand on the side of Chang Fujin, and then I can live in this mansion and seek a way back. Do you understand?" I looked at Qian, but she didn't know that my choice was not only gambling on my own future, but also helping her plan for her future. "Although I still don't understand it, my sister is an assertive person, and she must have a reason for what she wants to do. Tomorrow's greetings, I won't go, even if Fang Fujin wants to use any means, I can't let my sister suffer alone, and the two of them will take care of each other. After listening to my words, Qian made a decision that surprised but moved me.

I touched her head and didn't refuse her kindness. In fact, there was originally a meaning that she should not go, but Xu was trying to test her and never said it directly. If she were on the side of the Ulanala clan with me, my plan for her would be half the battle. On the contrary, in this case, everyone will have the heart to protect themselves, and I will not alienate her, but I will no longer value her and help her with anything. Thankfully, she didn't let herself down, and the gamble was worth it. (To be continued.) )
