What happened at this tea party was soon told to Qin Hanzhen.

The tea party was originally a small gathering between the Xiuning Palace, the Xiang Palace, and another county palace, and although there were many women in the clan, not everyone was invited. These three families are related to each other, and they are considered a small circle, so they have set the rule that they must take turns to be the boss every month. Qin Hanzhen was not in the system of these three families, so although he was very familiar with Princess Xiuning, he did not participate in it.

After the tea party, he took the initiative to find the door of the Suning County Palace, and informed Qin Hanzhen of what happened at the tea party, as well as the various news circulating, that is, the concubine of another county palace that held this regular tea party with Xiuning Wangfu and Xiangwangfu, the princess of Huangyang County, Sun.

Speaking of Zhao Yan, the king of Huangyang County, he is actually about the same age as Zhao Mo, slightly two years older, and now he has just reached the crown. But he and Zhao Mo are not of the same generation, he is the old son of a brother of the first emperor, although he is not a descendant, but he was also born to the prince's side concubine, and his status is not low. However, when he was still young, his father died, and he had to live with his biological mother and eldest brother.

When he was sixteen years old, he had not yet been officially canonized, his biological mother had died, and his eldest brother did not take care of these things for him, but sat back and watched his eldest sister-in-law separate him from the family in the name that he was about to become an adult. The children of the clan have an independent door, and the sect's mansion will arrange the residence and land, so his brothers almost let him go out of the house, and only allow him to bring his own personal belongings and three or two personal servants. But he is quite ambitious and motivated, even if life was more difficult when he first set up the door, he also supported the small family with his own ability.

He first begged the elders in the clan, and found a petty official in the sect's mansion, and when he had a little more money, he used the money to make some small investments and small transactions, and accumulated his net worth little by little. He has a good mind, he is also diligent and conscientious, he knows how to make good friends with his brothers and nephews in the clan, his popularity is very good, and he accidentally got in touch with Zhao Qiong. It is probably because he is considered to be a more promising young generation in the clan, and the emperor also looks at him pleasing to the eye, and after inspecting his character, he gave him the fief of Huangyang at the new clan knighthood ceremony in April this year. As the son of his prince, he should also be crowned the king of the county.

The fief of Huangyang was originally intended by the emperor to be given to the youngest son of the King of Shu, but the latter was already dead, and this fief was naturally still in the hands of the imperial court. This place is not rich, but it is a relatively large place, even under the nose of King Qin, there are many people who take a fancy to it. But no one could have imagined that this land would be cheaper in the end. Now that he has become the king of the county, he has a fief of real power, his official position in the Zongren Mansion has also been promoted, and he has married a new wife, which is the time to be complacent. With Zhao Qiong's introduction, he has a very good relationship with Zhao Mo, and occasionally sits together to drink and chat. Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen got married, and he was one of the officials of the Zongren Mansion who came to the deacon.

And his wife, Sun, also has a relationship with Qin Hanzhen.

Sun is the maiden niece and granddaughter of Princess Xiuning, that is, the cousin of Lu Chuming's fiancée, Miss Sun. At the beginning, there were rumors in the capital, all saying that the East Palace might choose the daughter of a high-ranking official as the side room, which caused many famous daughters who did not want to be concubines to worry about marriage for themselves in a panic. The princess of Huangyang County was almost promised by her mother to a cousin of her grandfather's family who was not very successful, but Princess Xiuning couldn't see it, so she resolutely shouted to stop, and picked Zhao Li in the clan again, and personally acted as a matchmaker, so that this marriage was achieved. The princess of Huangyang County, the Sun family, and the king of Huangyang County are also newly married, and they only entered the door one month earlier than Qin Hanzhen. Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo got married, and she also came to the new house to see the bride, but Qin Hanzhen didn't pay special attention to it.

Now that the two have officially met, they feel very cordial when they talk to each other about the relationship between the two.

Sun is beautiful, generous, and a somewhat straightforward temperament, and is the kind of person who has something to say. She and Zhao Qi, the king of Huangyang County, are actually not the same personality, but they are unexpectedly very compatible, and the husband and wife are also very affectionate. Whether she is her mother or her husband, she is very confident, and her husband is willing to spoil her, so she will not have too many worries when she speaks and acts. She was just married to a clan wife, and she first integrated into this circle, although she was led by her aunt and grandmother, Princess Xiuning, but there were still many things she was not used to. For some clan ladies who love to chew their tongues and can't see other people's good practices, she is very unaccustomed to it. Therefore, when she came to Qin Hanzhen, she accidentally mentioned that there were other concubines chewing her tongue, and when she saw that Qin Hanzhen was interested, she said everything about it.

Qin Hanzhen wasn't very angry, although some people chewed her and Zhao Mo's tongues, which made people a little annoyed, but her mouth grew on others, how could she care about so much? She is not a gold and silver treasure, can everyone like it? Even if it is a gold and silver treasure, there are still many people who think it is cheesy!

She was just a little curious: "It's so obvious to say bad things about our husband and wife, and this method of provocation is too crude." I don't know which sister-in-law has such a big face? My aunt told me that I should be wary when I see her in the future. ”

"You should be on guard. That person is still sweet in front of the elders, and he is the most obedient person. If I hadn't heard her chew her tongue a few times, and what she said every time was not good, I wouldn't have dared to believe that she was that kind of person!" Sun Shi, the princess of Huangyang County, said, "It is the wife of the eldest son of the second master of the Xiangwang Mansion, I remember that her husband is called Zhao Lu, although he is the eldest son, he is the fourth in the grandchildren of the Xiangwang Mansion, so the people of the same generation call her the fourth grandmother of Lu Si." ”

Qin Hanzhen had a pretty and somewhat mean face in his mind, and he knew it: "It turned out to be her." I remember seeing her twice. On the day of the wedding, she followed Princess Xiang to the new house. Later, I went to Xiangwangfu to give a thank you gift, and I met her again. She seems to be quite favored by Princess Xiang's side. ”

Princess Sun of Huangyang County disagreed: "That was in the past! She said the wrong thing several times at the tea party, and now she has fallen out of favor in front of Princess Xiang!"

At the same time, there was another granddaughter-in-law of Princess Xiang who fell out of favor. Sun also remembered that her husband was Zhao Tao, the second son of the third room of the Xiangwang Mansion, and he was the eighth among his peers, so others called his wife Grandma Tao Ba. This Grandma Tao Ba and Grandma Lu Si's maiden family are distant cousins, and she has no idea herself, she has always been used to following Grandma Lu Si as a follower, and she always has a nostril out of air when something happens. But without Grandma Lu Si leading, she can't become a climate.

This is the housework of the Xiang Palace, and Qin Hanzhen doesn't care much, she only asks the Sun family one question: "Do many people know about the rumors about the relationship between the crown princess and Chen Liangyuan and Chu Liangyuan?" Zhao Mo often goes in and out of the palace, and Qin Bai is also a frequent visitor in the palace, it is not unusual for these two to know these insiders. But the Xiangwang Mansion ......

Although the king of Xiang did not participate in the seizure of the heir that year, it is rumored that his attitude is biased, so after the emperor ascended the throne, even if he did not liquidate him, he was not close to him. The king of Xiang couldn't return to the fiefdom, and he couldn't even collect the full amount of the income from the fiefdom, but he didn't dare to say a word of complaint, and lived honestly with trepidation. Such a Xiangwang Mansion, a granddaughter-in-law who is not very powerful, how can she know so much inside information in the palace? In other words, if it is a female dependant of another clan, Qin Hanzhen may have believed it a long time ago.

Sun hesitated for a moment: "Seriously, I really didn't know before. But after marrying into the county king's mansion, you can often hear about it. When I first heard about it, I was surprised. My aunt and grandmother rarely mentioned these things to our sisters in the past, and advised us to ignore them, forget what we have heard, and don't talk about it, let alone spread it. However, even if I don't say it myself, I can't stop some people from breaking their mouths. The ladies in the clan are probably too idle, and many people like to talk about other people's housework. ”

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "In this way, these news are mainly circulated in the clan?" The Sun family is a minister and a prince, but if Princess Xiuning doesn't spread it, the Sun family will have no other channels to contact these news. In other words, the source of the spread is not on the side of the civil officials? Otherwise, with the connections of the Sun family in the civil official circle, it is impossible for them not to have heard of it.

Sun replied: "Anyway, many people in the clan know about it, but it's not only the clan that knows, so I can't say for sure. At the tea party that day, there were many female dependents who came, and each of them had different backgrounds. Since they love to chew their tongues and can't control their mouths, who knows if they will tell their mothers' family? or ...... Did they hear it from their mother's family?"

Speaking of this, Sun paused for a moment: "Actually, the discord between the wives and concubines of the East Palace is not a big deal. Although at the tea party that day, everyone said that the crown princess didn't like Chen Liangyuan, and they were a little worried about what would happen to Chen Liangyuan after she gave birth, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that even if the crown princess intended to go to her mother and keep her son, the queen mother, the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince would not allow it. The crown princess was not such a ruthless person, but even if she could really be ruthless, she was not as powerful in the palace as she used to be, and it was not so easy for her wishes to come true. Don't look at the Queen Mother, who doesn't seem to like to take care of things, if she really wants to take care of it, no one in the palace can go past her. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Auntie is right." Immediately after that, he asked, "The disagreement between the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess...... Auntie heard about it too?"

Sun said: "The Zhao Lu family is shouting everywhere, I don't think it's hard not to hear about it." I don't know where she heard these nonsense words, there are so many female relatives in the clan who love to listen, so she has to chase and ask. My aunt and grandmother frowned several times, but unfortunately Princess Xiang was also interested, so my aunt and grandmother didn't have much to say. ”

Qin Hanzhen groaned slightly, and then asked about the maiden families of Grandma Lu Si and Grandma Tao Ba, and learned that these two were actually the daughters of the military attache family, but their father was not from Ma, Cai, Min, Su, Yun and other families, but served in the local government, and the highest was to be the commander of the four grades. But Sun mentioned one more thing, that is, Grandma Lu Si's maiden brother is now working as an errand in the city guard, and he is newly added, and it is said that he has left the relationship with the crown princess.

Qin Han said sincerely, the crown princess can still manage the personnel of the city guards? She is busy pretending to be sick every day to make trouble with other members of the royal family, and urging the prince to spoil Chu Liangyuan, so she can't be busy, how can she manage such a trivial matter? Needless to say, the force behind this must be inseparable from Chu Zhengfang. But if Grandma Lu Si's maiden brother has a relationship with Chu Zhengfang, then her source is very problematic......

Could it be that the Chu family is deliberately making a noise? But this rumor is clearly detrimental to the reputation of the crown princess, and the Chu family relied on the crown princess to get today's powerful position, would they stupidly destroy the Great Wall?
