This year's New Year, the feeling of Yongjiahou Mansion is a little different from previous years.

Qin Ping and Qin An brothers have returned to the capital, Wu Shaoying, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun and others have been added to the Hou Mansion, plus Qin An has added a younger son, Wu Shaoying has already decided on a family affair, and the Yongjia Hou Mansion is full of joy, which is much more lively than in previous years.

In the New Year's Dynasty, Yongjiahou Qin Bai is no longer alone in the palace, he has two sons as companions, and there is also a Wu Shaoying at home with two junior brothers to deal with the visitors who come to the door, which is very reassuring. And the Niu family went to worship the Queen Mother, and also had a little daughter-in-law Xiao Feng as a companion, compared to previous years, there was only one eldest granddaughter, so it was naturally much more satisfying.

Although Qin Hanzhen can also accompany her to entertain all walks of life, but in terms of communication, the daughter of the boudoir is not as convenient as a married woman. Therefore, this year, although Qin Hanzhen was embarrassed to enter the palace because of his betrothed relationship, he could only stay at home and watch his younger siblings, Niu's trip to the palace was still very smooth. At the same time, Xiao Feng's family had a lot of contacts with the female dependents of the military generals' families, and when they entered the palace, they could talk to a large group of relatives and friends, as well as the female dependents of their husbands, bosses, and colleagues, and they were more lively than Qin Hanzhen. She has a new son, even if she discusses the children's scriptures with others, she can make new friends with many young women, and even the queen mother and several concubines and concubines are very interested in listening to the topic of raising children.

The Queen Mother raised the little grandson and the little county lord of the Shu Prince's Mansion in front of her, and the health of the two children was not very good, so she paid special attention to this topic. Usually in the palace, the Queen Mother can only discuss this kind of thing with the crown princess Tang and Chen Liangdi, and there is no one in the harem who has raised children, so she can only listen. But the crown princess Tang raised her daughter very carefully, but the health of the county lord of Minshun was not very good, Chen Liangdi's son died directly, and the queen mother didn't trust their experience very much. It's nice to hear something useful from others.

I don't know if it's because of the discussion on how to raise children, after a lot of discussion, the relationship between the queen mother and the Niu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seems to be a lot closer, and she also quipped: "Your eldest granddaughter is embarrassed? Why don't you come to the palace to see the mourning family? Gai Ming'er brought your eldest girl into the palace, right? The mourning family hasn't seen her for a few days. ”

Niu smiled and agreed. In fact, the ladies of their Qin family's three rooms really don't like to enter the palace, that is, Qin Bai is summoned to meet the emperor from time to time, or to meet the prince of the East Palace. In contrast, she and her granddaughter Qin Hanzhen enter the palace far less often than the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Changfang Xu, Yao and Min families every year. She is really not used to it, and her husband alone is enough to maintain a friendly relationship between the family and the palace, so why let her come forward again? Niu Shi just promised first, and whether he would enter the palace again later, he would talk about it when the time came.

The Queen Mother is actually not familiar with the Qin family's three rooms, just because she has a good impression of Zhao Mo, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo have already decided to be married, and now seeing that the Niu family and Xiao Feng's family are cordial, she just mentioned it in passing. Even if Qin Hanzhen marries and has few palaces, she will definitely come to see her from time to time after she gets married, she is not in a hurry. After chatting with the Niu family and Xiao Feng for a while, and talking to the old lady of the Tang family for a few more words, she turned to the princess of the Shu family: "The mourning family looks at you more and more deteriorating, when I saw you last time, it was not so serious, why has it been so long, and the illness has not been cured? Have you taken your medicine properly? Otherwise, how could you not have seen any improvement?"

The princess of the King of Shu smiled weakly: "Empress Dowager Xie is merciful, the courtiers are fine, it's just that she didn't sleep well last night, and she looks a little worse, and she will get better soon." ”

The Queen Mother didn't believe this, and was silent for a while, before saying to her: "Relax in everything, what do you want to do with so much? You still have two children, even if it is for the sake of the children, you must first take care of your body." ”

The princess of the king of Shu responded softly. The Queen Mother didn't know if she had listened to her words, but what could she say when she looked like this? Looking at the large number of royal relatives and nobles of the clan in the palace, it was not the right time to say anything more, so she had to turn to other orders and continue to talk about family life, in order to show the royal favor.

Niu Shi heard it clearly, and she was a little curious, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, the Shu Wangfu has nothing to do with the Qin family, and even has some old grudges with the future grandson-in-law Zhao Mo, so she doesn't need to meddle in things. If she really wants to know any inside information, she asked her husband Qin Bai to inquire, isn't it?

There are many orders as calm as the Niu family in Cining Palace, but not everyone can suppress their curiosity. There are many female dependents who participated in the Great Pilgrimage of the Inner Court today, and they have heard a little bit of gossip. When the Niu family helped Xiao Feng's hand out of the gate of Cining Palace, he heard the daughters of other families whispering in private: "The Chen family doesn't know what is crazy, the girl sent to the East Palace, seeing that she can't climb the prince, has started the idea of the prince of Shu......"

"Poor princess of Shu, she is so sick that she can't be at peace......"

"The princess of the King of Shu is sick like this, and I don't know how long she can last, should the Chen family set their eyes on her, and plan to let their own girl replace her......"

"The Shu King's Mansion doesn't exist anymore, the Prince of Shu is a virtual shelf, and the Chen family can actually take a fancy to him......"

"It's a virtual shelf, and it's also a real prince's viscount. Now that the Chen family is like that, can they still marry their daughter into the truly powerful clan palace? Now that there is no Liao Wangfu, the son of the king of Yiyang has become a cripple again, and the son of the king of Shu is talented and good-looking, his limbs are sound, and his title is also real......

"Someone asked Chen Liangdi, she also lost her temper, she really pretended. If she didn't have that heart, why did she let her sister run into the prince of Shu......"

The Niu family and Xiao Feng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, when did this gossip news spread? Their Yongjiahou Mansion was really busy with Wu Shaoying's wedding and Sister Zhang's coming to the door, and they were so busy that they hadn't heard of it at all?

Not to mention that the female dependents of the Qin family were surprised by the new gossip of the prince of Shu, Zhao Mo, who had just finished the New Year's worship ceremony in the front hall, was also surprised. He was the one who entered the palace twice in three days, and he didn't even hear about it. The female relatives who lived in the East Palace, regardless of whether she was the prince's woman or not, how could she have a relationship with the prince of Shu? Zhao Mo had no friendship with the prince of Shu, so it was difficult to find the person concerned to inquire, and he didn't want to deal with the Chen family, so he turned to other clan elders.

As a result, the elders of the clan first asked him about helping Zhao Hao recognize his biological daughter: "Good boy, you are a kind-hearted person." Zhao Bei has lived to this age, he has no children and no daughters, and he is so sick, you help him recognize his daughter, so that he will not end up alone, he is really a kind person! It's just that kind of idle matter, you don't have to care. Originally, she was kind, but didn't you hear how Zhao Yan's daughter-in-law said bad things about you behind her back? She calculated that she wanted to take Zhao Quan's family wealth, and now that the good things have failed, it is on you to blame, and tell people that you bullied their orphans and widows. If her man hadn't had a bad heart, their family wouldn't have ended up where they are now. I don't know how to introspect, and I started someone else's idea. Don't pay attention to her! It's just that Zhao Jie is also very ridiculous, you have helped him so much, he didn't even have a thank you gift, and when he heard others say bad things about you, he didn't know how to protect you, it's really not like words!

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's good that I'm worthy of my conscience, besides...... I didn't want to help with this. My father had a friendship with Uncle Jie at the beginning, but now I can't bear to see Uncle Jie alone......"

The elders of the clan suddenly sighed: "You kid, you are too filial and kind! You Lao Tzu doesn't even go out of the house now, but only allows you to run errands outside, what are you doing listening to him like that? You Lao Tzu was in the same place with Zhao Jie back then, did you do something good or not? This kind of friendship is also worth it for him to still talk about it?!"

After praising Zhao Mo for a long time, and scolding Zhao Shuo, Zhao Jie, Zhao Zhu, and Zhao Tong's wife and children for a long time, several clan elders told Zhao Mo the news he wanted to know: "A few days ago, the one in the Shu Wangfu went to the East Palace to see the prince, and by the way, he sent a New Year's gift, but I didn't expect to meet the girl who was sent to the palace by the Chen family." Chen Liangdi is too old to give birth, so the Chen family sent her sister into the palace to be her companion, and who doesn't know what kind of idea she has in mind? How wise is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How could he allow the Chen family to mess around? Even the Crown Princess's maiden family has not yet given it to the East Palace. If you really want to add people to the East Palace, it is also ordered by the emperor and the queen mother, and the good family is selected in a serious way. The girl of the Chen family has lived in the East Palace for a few months, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not taken care of it. The crown princess ordered Chen Liangdi to send people out of the palace, and told Chen Liangdi to stay alive or dead. As a result, there was such a misfortune. I am afraid that Chen Liangdi saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really unintentional, and he was unwilling to let his sister out of the palace, so he set his sights on the prince of Shu. ”

The prince of Shu is a married man, and there is nothing good, but his title is real, and Yuan's wife is said to be sick and dying. When she dies, the prince of Shu will definitely continue the strings. The girls of the middle-class eunuchs know that the prince of Shu has no real power, and it is estimated that they will not be able to look down on the Chen family? The Chen family can't produce another Chen Liangdi, add a royal grandson, and then have a prince and princess to compensate, which is better than nothing.

It's just that when this kind of news comes out, what will the princess of Shu think in her heart? It is said that she has been hit hard and is now getting sicker......

Zhao Mo listened to the gossip and felt very strange in his heart. The Chen family and Chen Liangdi were both bent on going to the emperor and grandson, so how could they be willing to let the daughter of the Chen family marry the prince of Shu, an idler of the clan who had already lost his power, to fill the house? What's more, he entered the palace twice in three days, and often went to the East Palace.
