The fourth wife said indifferently: "What's the matter, even if you don't participate in the imperial examination or become an official, you can't let Sister Qiong be a princess who is a princess, how many princesses have ended up well since ancient times? Sister Qiong is our heart, you can't sacrifice Sister Qiong for the sake of the prince's future and their future, you know?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhen Wanyi nodded, "The prince has retired now, and Brother Heng is not the one who uses his sister to seek a future, mother, don't worry." ”

The fourth lady bit her lip and nodded, "I brought Brother Xuan into the house today, but I really want to propose marriage to Brother Xuan'er, Brother Xuan heard the news of the marriage in the country this morning, and he couldn't go to school, so he directly took leave with the master and hurried back to the house to pull me over, I haven't seen him so flustered for so many years." That kid is a hearted person, and he has defended Sister Qiong since he was a child, and you can rest assured that you will hand over Sister Qiong to him. ”

"Mother, it's not that I'm not worried, it's just that Sister Qiong hasn't been in time yet, and the appointment will attract gossip in a hurry, maybe Your Majesty didn't put the idea on Sister Qiong, but we don't trust Your Majesty when we do this. You must know that the second princess is seventeen years old, do you think the queen dares to marry the second princess during this time?"

The fourth lady sighed, she was also stunned by this news, just thinking that no one could do anything about setting Sister Qiong'er, but she forgot that there was a second princess above Sister Qiong'er, if the Rongwang Mansion moved first, wouldn't it be a handle to the queen? Maybe at this time, whoever can't hold their breath first and who messes up their hands and feet will lose the opportunity and position.

She is concerned about chaos, forgetting the majesty of imperial power, if His Majesty makes up his mind to make Qi Qiong and kiss, even if Qi Qiong is married, he will also be sent to kiss.

"Alas, my mother doesn't understand this court thing, but Wan'er, my mother only tells you one thing, you have your mother's family behind you, although we can't do anything else, but as long as you need it, we are not afraid of swords, mountains and fires. ”

Zhen Wanyi took her mother's hand with emotion, "Knowing my mother, my daughter will not be polite to you if she is in need." ”

Seeing off the fourth wife and Brother Xuan, and ushering in the imperial concubine, Zhen Wanyi hurriedly led the imperial concubine to sit down on the low couch, "Why did you still come here on such a cold day, just let the maid pass on something, I'll go over to see you." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's snowing outside, and the road is very slippery, it's better for me to come over, and your body is not as good as usual now." ”

Zhen Wanyi served the boiled almond tea, "How can I be so delicate, you should pay more attention to it when you are old." ”

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea, "It's still your almond tea brewed deliciously, the chef of the Plum Courtyard can't make this taste." ”

"The mother concubine likes her daughter-in-law to let Mama Zhang go to the plum garden to serve. ”

The Empress Dowager drank a small half bowl before putting down the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, and besides, I don't like to eat these sweets and snacks when I'm old, Mama Zhang is of little use to me, it's better to keep this for you, you have a lot of children here, and it's the time to grow your body, and you have to prepare some snacks from time to time when you are hungry on weekdays." ”

What does the plum garden want, the chef will not, even if he takes a fancy to the master of the imperial dining room, he can also call it. said that the dim sum master didn't need it, so Zhen Wanyi was no longer reluctant.

"When the concubine wants to eat, she only asks people to order, uh, every afternoon in the future, my daughter-in-law will let someone bring you almond tea. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, "It's okay." Drink some hot and sweet soup on this day, so let Sister Qiong'er send it to me, isn't Sister Qiong learning housekeeping during this time, just let her go to me, so as not to disturb your tranquility. ”

Zhen Wanyi nodded spontaneously, "Okay, I'll ask Sister Qiong'er to bring you almond tea every day in the future, just when she said that she didn't want to go out recently." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, obviously very pleased that Sister Qiong'er could understand this. "You don't have to worry too much, even if Your Majesty chooses our Sister Qiong, I can also have a way to prevent Sister Qiong'er from getting on the sedan chair. ”

Zhen Wanyi was puzzled: "What way?"

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and squinted, "If Sister Qiong's hairpin is white, will Your Majesty still send the daughter of the guard to kiss?"

The hairpin white flower means filial piety, and the imperial concubine definitely did not refer to Zhen Wanyi and Qi Rong when she said this, and she was the oldest elder in the mansion. Zhen Wanyi's eyes widened, and she said hurriedly: "Mother, don't do stupid things, even if you keep the system, there are still hot filial piety to marry, and it's okay to say that Your Majesty is lovely, how can you have such an idea?"

The imperial concubine saw that her daughter-in-law was really anxious about herself, and couldn't help but smile sincerely, "Don't worry, if it wasn't for that point, I wouldn't have done anything stupid." Don't stop me, listen to me. I should have left thirty-six years ago, and the reason why I stayed until now is just for the sake of my children's debts. Later, I had God's mercy and let the prince return to Beijing, and I had to be pardoned by His Majesty so that I could get along with the prince and you for seventeen years, these seventeen years were stolen, and I could live with you and the prince in the same place for seventeen years, I had nothing else to ask for. Really, nothing more. ”

The expression on the face of the Empress Dowager was extremely relaxed and comfortable, and she spoke without scruples, which made Zhen Wanyi's temples jump one by one when she heard it, for fear that the Empress Dowager would really go to extremes and threaten His Majesty with her life.

"Mother, you really can't think like this, we have so many ways, how can you not use yourself to exchange for Sister Qiong'er's happiness, just now my mother came over and wanted to marry Sister Qiong and Brother Xuan in advance? What kind of face do you want me and Sister Qiong to have to meet the prince and face the world? Isn't this a pleasure for relatives and enemies? You must dispel this idea, you know, concubine?"

Zhen Wanyi looked at the imperial concubine steadily, her eyes full of worry, for fear that if she didn't pay attention to the imperial concubine, she would die and let Sister Qiong refuse to kiss her. If this is the case, Sister Qiong'er's life will also be ruined.

The Empress Dowager held her mouth and nodded helplessly, don't the women in this palace often play this drama of crying, making trouble and hanging herself?

"I'm not really going to threaten with death, but you have to guard against the queen, if the queen uses this trick, there are people in our house, don't worry, everything has me." ”

Looking at the gorgeous hair of the crown princess's temples, Zhen Wanyi was full of emotion, it was really her blessing to have such a mother-in-law and family.

"Mother, don't worry, there is a prince at home, he will not let us down. Besides, there is Brother Heng and Brother Jue, and they will do their part as brothers. ”

As he spoke, he told the Empress Dowager about Brother Heng and Brother Jue'er's plans, and the Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, "Okay, I won't worry about this matter, if there is a need for me, Wan'er just say it." ”

Zhen Wanyi nodded, and made up her mind in her heart, no matter what the future, she would not reveal a word to the imperial concubine. But today's words of the imperial concubine were said word for word to Sister Qiong, and Sister Qiong was moved to tears, running more diligently in the plum courtyard, staying longer, and accompanying the imperial concubine to cut flowers and plants every day, practicing calligraphy, playing double land, and leisurely ushered in the New Year.
