822 hints by play
Back at the Baohe Palace, the Eighth Prince personally coaxed the ark to sleep, took the hot tea poured by the Eighth Prince and drank it.
Today, the eighth prince talked a lot, and asked the second aunt and wife of Xie Fu, and he saw him for the first time, and learned that two uncles came to Beijing, and said that he would have time to go out of the palace one day and make an appointment to have tea together.
The Eighth Imperial Concubine said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't make an appointment to go to the play, I heard my mother say that my cousin came to Beijing to participate in the examination, and I have to continue to study hard." ”
The eighth prince was interested when he heard it, "That's a lift? That's really good, when the time comes, I have to go and see for myself to see my uncle's demeanor." ”
"The concubine has never seen her cousin, the second aunt has been in Jiangnan, and they all say that Jiangnan is beautiful, and when she was young, she went back to her uncle's house in Sufu with her mother, and listened to the opera troupe invited by the house, and there are also some Jiangnan operas. ”
"Oh, what operas have Mei Niang heard?"
"My mother loves to listen to operas, but my mother said that they are all lively, and some of the plays are all nonsense, just listen to the singing. ”
The eighth prince, who loves to listen to operas, is even more interested, and he originally felt that his mother-in-law would say witty words from time to time, so he pulled the princess to sit down, and asked her to tell her which drama was nonsense.
After the Eighth Princesses sat down, they covered their mouths before they could say anything, and the Eighth Prince was so anxious that he said: "Good Meiniang, let's listen to it, don't worry, I won't learn it to the Queen Mother again." ”
Originally, the Eighth Emperor Princess, who was going to use this as an introduction, said: "When my mother first read the story of the West Chamber, she said that it must have been written by a poor literati, and the little lady of a big family was not accompanied by a few subordinates? or at least two personal maids followed in the inner house, and if she went out, she was even more of a bunch of maids and wives, so why was there a matchmaker back and forth in the play? Relatives from the house or sons of the world's friends, there is no need, the little lady will not go to see, how can it be so easy to enter a living person in the house, the concubine was young at that time, and he didn't understand, so he listened, and the mother also said that he couldn't believe him if he didn't have a marriage, even if it was a cousin, this kind of person just relied on his mouth to coax the little lady, and he wouldn't consider whether he was a cousin in the future, that kind of person was the most unreliable, and if a serious man really liked it, he would definitely let the family let the elders come forward. ”
The princess already knew the way of His Royal Highness's pursuit of his wife, so she praised it in the words of her mother-in-law, and listened to the eighth prince beautifully, or my mother-in-law understands me, but isn't it, I just begged my father and queen mother, and I didn't dare to say a word to the beautiful woman, fortunately, no, otherwise my mother-in-law would definitely not marry Meiniang to me.
"That's right, that's the reason, that play, I also told the queen mother, saying that a prime minister's mansion is so messy?"
Seeing the eighth prince's smug nod, the princess knew that it was in his heart.
"There was another scene, and my mother said it was even funnier. ”
Before she finished speaking, the Eighth Prince couldn't stop laughing, and the Eighth Prince was so anxious that he asked which play he wanted to hear made his mother-in-law feel more funny.
"There is a wife in the palace who gave birth to two little ladies in a row, and the wife and concubine are pregnant, but the wife is afraid of having another little lady, so she asked her sister to prepare for her to find a baby boy, and the newborn daughter was replaced. ”
The Eighth Prince is strange, why hasn't he seen this play?
The princess explained, "The concubine has not seen it, but she heard from her mother, and her mother said that she heard it when she was a child, and she asked her grandmother if the newborn child would not cry, otherwise the crying of the two children would not be found by others, and the mother also said that let the grandmother give more dowry maids in the future to guard her, so as not to be replaced by children in the future." ”
The eighth prince was so laughed by his mother-in-law's words that he leaned on the bed, not daring to make a loud noise, for fear of disturbing the son who was sleeping in the back room.
"Mother said that later the daughter was adopted by the artist, and because she got acquainted with the son who was replaced, when the concubine entered the house, the mother said that the outside mixed in, just look at the face to know if it is a family, even if it is not like a father, it must be like an uncle and an aunt, the family stands in one place, whether it is biological or not, how can you not see it?, if you let Cousin Song and my four brothers be in one place, as long as you are not blind, you will know at a glance which one is not surnamed Xie. If you want to change the child, unless you don't give birth at your husband's house, isn't there a play on the road, in the wild, and giving birth near the temple, the mother said, is this reasonable, and when you give birth outside and take it back to the house, where does the husband's family know if it is their own blood and bones. ”
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he remembered what Concubine Gang Jiang said about Duanhe County Palace.
The Eighth Imperial Concubine didn't notice his slightly changing face, and continued to laugh coquettishly: "These words can't be read by the little lady, and they are all crooked, so my mother gave the concubine a lot of books, saying that reading books makes people reasonable, knows what is right and what is wrong, and the concubine can have today, and I am very grateful to my mother." ”
The Eighth Imperial Concubine stopped mentioning opera, and talked about her mother-in-law's usual teachings to her, as if she was talking about opera casually just now.
Although she suspected that Jiang Yifang would return to Beijing with a fake son, she couldn't say the reason for her suspicions, saying that Jiang Yifang would not have children, how do you know?
Give the Eighth Prince a reminder, this kind of thing that confuses the royal bloodline, I believe that the Eighth Prince will not care, it is good to find out whether it is a misunderstanding, if it is true, then the royal family will not tolerate it.
As for whether it is revenge for Jiang Yifang's torture of her in the dream, after all, it is just a dream, there is no evidence, and it is impossible to do anything to her because she is now the princess, but if she dares to hold a child and pretend to be a descendant of the royal family, she will find her own death.
The speaker is intentional, the listener is also intentional, and the princess laughed for a while, the eighth prince went out and went to the study, pondered for a long time, wanted to find someone to inquire, Dong Gui definitely can't, he knows, the father also knows, find someone who can do things, just Meiniang said that the cousin of the Song family, it must be Song Pengfei, I heard that he was a guard, yes, it's him, go to him tomorrow.
After listening to what the Eighth Prince asked him to inquire, the Eighth Prince also stuffed a silver ticket and said that he would send a reliable person to Jiangnan, Song Pengfei opened his mouth in surprise and even forgot to shirk.
Has this prince's cousin-in-law read too much of the book? Dare to think of such a ridiculous thing? That Zhou Yiran's daughter-in-law has shit in her head? Dare to confuse the royal blood?
Song Pengfei nodded and promised to keep it secret and find someone to investigate the matter, but the eighth prince couldn't tell others to leave.
But Song Pengfei was the first to ask his father, but he didn't want to, his father knew that Uncle Xie must know, and before he found someone to leave Beijing, then Meng Jiao and the others must have made a fuss in Beijing.
Looking for the eldest uncle? No, the eldest uncle is too stupid, he knows that he is the first to report to the emperor, his grandfather is too old, and the prince of the elder brother is still in his mind, but he also has to find out and then say that he will see if the Song family can benefit from this matter.
Song Pengfei figured it out, and began to think about how to investigate this matter.
