At this time, Concubine Yao showed a thin anger on her face, this was the first time she was angry with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Yao smiled, not impressed.

"Don't be nervous, there are my people watching at the door, and no outsiders will approach. ”

Concubine Yao's face sank, and the air suddenly became tense. Mrs. Yao was shocked to realize that she was no longer the submissive concubine in her own house, but Concubine Yao who could compete with the crown princess.

"Mother, don't say anything like that again. Concubine Yao's voice revealed coldness.

Forced by her momentum, an unnatural look appeared on Mrs. Yao's face. But I took a sip in my heart, and sure enough, it either crawled out of my stomach, or I couldn't raise it.

But he smiled and said, "Okay, don't say it." Mother said no more. ”

"It's just that if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Brother Chong'er. Mrs. Yao's voice was lowered, and she said, "The emperor has three thousand harems, and there are dozens of palace concubines with heirs. ”

didn't dare to mention the matter after the crown prince ascended the throne, so Mrs. Yao had no choice but to knock on the side. Concubine Yao obviously listened to this, and silently thought in her heart that after the crown prince ascended the throne, she would definitely expand the harem.

The heir has always been a major event for the emperor, and even if the prince does not want to, the courtiers will play the draft.

When that happens, your advantage will be gradually weakened. Those more delicate girls entered the palace and gave birth to children one after another, will he still think of himself?

To be honest, she wasn't sure.

Besides, the women who are elected to the palace will also have noble backgrounds, and what advantages will she have at that time? The only thing she can rely on is her own pair of children.

Mrs. Yao's words scratched her itch. Concubine Yao kept silent and listened to what Mrs. Yao said next.

"Zhilan, you have to believe that your mother will not harm you. Mrs. Yao's voice was a little cold, and the words she spit out penetrated into Concubine Yao's heart like a poisonous snake.

She wanted to cover her ears, but she really wanted to hear what Mrs. Yao would say next.

"Get rid of Xu Wanzhen and let Zhiyue become Wu Zhengxiang's side. You have the support of the martial arts, and there is Zhiyue blowing the wind in the ears of the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, what do you want?"

These words made Concubine Yao's heart flutter.

She squeezed the Ropa tightly in her hand, pursed lips to reveal that she was fighting fiercely inside. Mrs. Yao raised her from childhood to adulthood, and when she saw her like this, she knew that she had moved.

Mrs. Yao's words, like a snake letter spit out in the dark, lingered in her ears. "You just need to plan well and get rid of an irrelevant person to get a chance. Why not do it?"

Concubine Yao bit her lip and kept warning herself in her heart.

Don't be fooled!

As long as he doesn't do anything, he can be one of the four concubines. That position, like a pie falling from the sky, fell on his head. Too much delusion will make things worse.

However, another thought was roaring in her mind.

Yao Zhilan, Yao Zhilan, don't be too naïve! After he ascended the throne, he was the emperor on the high, at that time, why did he fight with the crown princess who became the queen?

The crown princess now has two sons and a daughter, and the prince and her husband are deeply in love, and her position is extremely stable.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to deal with those newcomers, where will I still have the energy to seek benefits for my own children.

My father is a secretary of the military department, and he must want to go further. The support he can get from him is limited, but his father wants to get more help from him.

If, if Yao Zhiyue really got her wish and had the support of the martial arts family behind her, wouldn't it be easy to advance and retreat?

Seeing the change in the expression on her face, Mrs. Yao knew that she was already quite moved. At this time, it is not advisable to press too hard, and she must be given time to figure it out for herself.

"Zhilan, the stakes are very important, you can think about it slowly. Mrs. Yao said: "It's just that this opportunity is only once, and it's too late for you to regret it if you miss it!"

Concubine Yao's voice was harsh, and she said, "Mother, let me think about it carefully." ”

After Mrs. Yao left, Concubine Yao locked herself in the room for about half a day before she asked someone to come in and serve.

The maids around her all felt a little strange, why did Concubine Yao's face become so ugly after Mrs. Yao left this time?

Among them, there was a maid in a pink jacket skirt, who kept such an unusualness in her heart.

……

For the people of Luoyang City, the birthday banquet held in Xu's house today is worth talking about for a long time.

A dilapidated merchant can be the envy of everyone in just a few years. Among the people who congratulate today, there are not only merchants, but also nobles and officials.

The Zhen family, the imperial merchant who imprisoned the Xu family, specially escorted the children of the Zhen family who lured Xu Wenmin back then, and kowtowed to admit their mistakes at Mrs. Xu's birthday banquet. In addition, he gave a heavy gift that was far beyond the normal range.

At a glance, the discerning person knew that the Zhen family was taking this opportunity to apologize semi-publicly.

And the Xu family is really kind to others, and since the retort family can be willing to face, they generously accept the apology of the retort family.

Twilight gradually came up from the horizon, and even the most lively feast had come to an end. The man of the Xu family stood at the door and said goodbye to the guests who came to congratulate him.

The people of the Tu family also left one after another, and Tu Manfen and Mr. Ning got into a carriage and drove towards Ningfu.

Xu Wan was really the last to leave, saying goodbye to her grandmother and family, and Wu Zhengxiang personally helped her into the carriage.

……

Towards the end of the year, the streets are still bustling with activity. Mr. Ning was not in a hurry, so he ordered the subordinates of the Ning Mansion to drive the carriage and walk slowly in the crowd.

At this time, a man dressed as a guard suddenly appeared in front of him. He stretched out his hand to stop the carriage and saluted: "Mr. Ning, Qingmei Jushi, my family is invited." ”

Tu Manfen's pretty face turned red, and she was called a green plum monk, and there was no one else except him.

Mr. Ning winked at her and said with a smile, "I thought he was about to appear." But no, people are coming. ”

If it was according to Wang Leyu's wishes, he couldn't wait to come to see Tu Manfen on the first day of returning to Beijing. But he is a rule-based person who will not disregard official affairs for the sake of his children's private interests.

This is also where Mr. Ning thinks highly of him, and he is not informal.

Tu Manfen lowered her head in shame, not knowing what to say.

At this meeting, she had a strong premonition that he would ask her to marry. However, she hadn't thought about it at all. Whether to agree or not, she has not yet clarified her mind.

Without waiting for her to speak, Mr. Ning smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go meet him." ”

Tu Manfen was a little nervous, and grabbed a few folds of the skirt with both hands. She shook her head and said, "Sir, I, I haven't thought about it yet. ”

Mr. Ning asked rhetorically, "Then when will you be able to think about it?"
