Old Madam Liu straightened the money tattoo on her body, and was about to give Mrs. Yan some more eye medicine, at this time Yan Sansi brought the county lord of Qinghe to ask for peace, her mind turned, her eyes fell on the county lord of Qinghe, and her face was thoughtful.

The lord of Qinghe County stepped forward a few steps, and saluted: "It was late after eating yesterday, and my father and mother left me for one night, so I couldn't come back last night, and I hope the old lady won't be surprised." ”

Since she brought out the King of Pingle County, Old Madam Yan didn't say much, so she suppressed the fire and nodded: "The guests are almost here, you can go with me to meet the guests." ”

Mrs. Liu seized the opportunity to interject: "The second daughter-in-law is pregnant, no wonder the princess and princess of the mother's family are worried about it, it is not easy to walk at night." ”

She smiled again and said to the county lord of Qinghe: "You have to pay attention to your body, your body is important." ”

The county lord of Qinghe has never looked at the down-and-out Liu family in his eyes, but now it is rare to take a look at her, but he didn't say anything, turned around and went out with Mrs. Yan.

Over there, Aunt Yan took Chonglan to recognize customers, and saw a woman in brocade clothes come out of the shadow wall of the second gate, this woman is in her forties, her body is rich, and her face is round.

It was only a few dozen steps from the main gate to the courtyard, but she put on a good show, and was helped by a few maids and maids to walk slowly enough to have a stick of incense.

Aunt Yan frowned, as if she was very displeased, and whispered in Chonglan's ear: "This is Princess Ping, not a good one, you should be careful." ”

Chonglan thought of King Ping, who should give people a concubine, and couldn't help frowning: "Then should I avoid it first?" ”

Aunt Yan gently pulled her: "What are you afraid of, with my brother, what can she do to you?" Don't fall for yourself. ”

Chonglan nodded, now that Princess Ping had already walked to her, she couldn't leave if she wanted to, so she could only take the initiative to take a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "The princess is here, we have lost our welcome, and I hope you will forgive you." ”

Princess Ping smiled and said kindly: "This is a joke, who in the entire Jinling City doesn't know, Governor Yan values you so much, even if there is an omission, it's not a big deal, how can I forgive my sins?" ”

She said very kindly, and her tone was sincere, but there was always something wrong, Chonglan didn't know if she was too careful, so she could only smile and say a scene: "The princess is charitable." ”

Princess Ping didn't know what it meant, smiled at her, and actually took her hand and walked to the main hall, while saying: "People pay attention to fate when they get along with each other, and when I see you today, I am very close to fate, but it's a pity that Governor Yan is a little colder, otherwise we can get closer." ”

If ordinary people heard that Princess Ping was willing to be closer to him, they would have asked him closely, but Chong Lan's heart moved, and his mind brightened up in an instant, and he said politely: "Jin Nian is a junior and a subordinate, and he only has respect for you and the prince, and your willingness to be close is a blessing for me and him." ”

Princess Ping glanced at her, smiled slightly, and looked at the surrounding environment again: "Your Qi family has a big business, as a bride, you should be quite busy, right?" ”

Chonglan resolutely didn't give her a chance to talk to the bottom, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm young and can't help much, it's all the elders in the family who work hard, and I can only learn from the side." ”

Princess Ping frowned slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The prince and I originally thought that you had just married in, and everything was busy, so we were afraid that the elders in the family would be dissatisfied with the places where Governor Yan could not serve, so we specially sent someone over to help you share your worries, but now it seems that there is no need for it." ”

Chonglan pretended not to know about this, looked at her in surprise and said, "Jin Nian didn't tell me about this, I think he has his own opinion." ”

Princess Ping sighed slowly: "A few years ago, the prince picked a number of innocent and good-looking women to stay at home and raise them as daughters, and now he is reluctant to marry them far away, so he wants to find a few families nearby in Jinling to send them over. ”

She pressed the corner of her forehead with the handkerchief in her hand unhurriedly, and in a blink of an eye, she changed her smiling face again, pulled Chonglan's hand and patted it: "Now that I see that you are busy in the house, I want to come and ask you, I want to send someone into the house to help you share your worries and give you a boost, I don't know if you are allowed or not?" ”

Old Madam Yan and the county lord of Qinghe walked in at this time, and happened to hear this, Old Madam Yan had wanted to give Yan He a concubine for a long time, but she was driven by Chonglan's marriage, but she still rushed to her baby son, and she didn't know what to say.

Now seeing Princess Ping asking, she also stood in place and waited for Chonglan to answer, while the county lord of Qinghe looked like a good show, waiting sideways to see Chonglan's gaffe and make a fool of himself.

She also said helpfully: "What the princess said is that I see that my daughter-in-law is working very hard to run the courtyard and the courtyard alone, so I should find someone capable to help her." ”

Aunt Yan was angry, but it was not easy to interject at this time, she turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Yan, and when she saw her expressions of approval, she scolded in her heart, are the people in the palace so easy to receive?

Princess Ping turned her head to look at her when she heard this, and looked straight at Chonglan, although there was a smile on her face, there was already a threat in her eyes: "Several children in the palace are extremely obedient and intelligent. Teaching it will help you a lot, and you should not shirk it. ”

This person wants to come in, it is not only a matter of concubines, who knows what the people sent by King Ping have in mind, and the emperor has been alone for these years, and he has been very dissatisfied with the various behaviors of these vassal kings, if Yan He accepts the people given by King Ping, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not think much about it.

Chonglan folded her hands elegantly, slowly looked at Princess Ping who was waiting for her to answer, and said with a gentle smile: "Whatever the princess said, didn't I tell you everything, the hardest thing in the house is my grandmother, uncle and father-in-law, as well as the second lady and several other aunts, since you are so compassionate, it is better to give them first." ”

She ignored the sharp and resentful looks of the county lord of Qinghe and the sixth aunt, and still said leisurely: "There is such a good thing, as a junior, we should naturally honor our elders, how can we take the lead in monopolizing it, do you say this is the reason?" ”

She brought out filial piety, and everyone else felt justified, even if she felt unreasonable, she couldn't find a rebuttal.

Princess Ping was about to speak again, but Aunt Yan stepped forward and pulled Chonglan away, smiling falsely and politely at Princess Ping: "Lan'er still has to go to see the elders, and the princess is at her own convenience." ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled Chonglan and left, Princess Ping saw that the two of them were walking fast, and for the sake of manners, it was not easy to catch up, so she had to stand in place and secretly annoyed.

Yan He was already impermeable enough, but he didn't expect his wife to be even more slippery, what kind of pot with what lid.

Aunt Yan was afraid that Princess Ping would entangle her again, so she simply pulled her directly to the main table made by the main family.

Old Madam Yan sat on the top and was angry at Chonglan: "Usually you are careful and take care of the affairs of the concubine's room, and I put up with it, but now you are so rude to Princess Ping, are you not afraid of ruining the future of your brother?" ”

Chonglan really couldn't stand her not knowing how to pretend to understand, she was obviously a fool and had to pretend to be a smart person's virtue, so she took a deep breath and said: "I don't understand what Grandmother said, Jinnian's future depends on his own ability, and he relies on the favor of the emperor, what does it have to do with King Ping?" ”

She thought about it, and was afraid that Old Madam Yan would still be entangled, so she ruthlessly took a fierce medicine and lowered her voice not far from her: "To put it mildly, the saint was almost held hostage and usurped by the anti-king as soon as he succeeded to the throne, and he didn't see any prince come to help at that time, didn't the saint have a little resentment in his heart against the princes from all walks of life?" If you see that your blue-eyed courtiers have close contacts with the prince, what do you think the emperor will think? ”

Old Madam Yan was stunned, and she continued: "Since ancient times, the courtiers who colluded with the prince have raided the family and exterminated the clan. ”

In fact, sending a concubine is not so serious, but these are enough to deceive Mrs. Yan, who has lived in the house for a long time.

Old Madam Yan was successfully frightened, her voice trembled, and she couldn't immediately drive out Princess Ping and Ping, and said in a trembling voice: "How is this good?" ”

Chonglan slapped a stick and began to give sweet dates again, and continued to flicker: "You don't have to worry too much, just don't take what King Ping gave." ”

Old Madam Yan's heart was only half of a little gone, and she shook Chonglan's hand and said apologetically: "You still have the insight to make up your mind, it's right that you don't accept it, so I shouldn't have said this about you." ”

Chonglan smiled secretly in her heart, and said with a solemn face: "Where did you say, I was originally your junior, and it is also appropriate to be lectured by you." ”

Mrs. Yan saw that she was more amiable again, and pulled her for a while before letting her go.

The county lord of Qinghe sat at the bottom left and sneered secretly, suddenly picked up the wine, poured a glass shallowly, handed it to Chonglan and said: "There are a lot of things at home these days, I have worked hard for you, I will toast you." ”

Chonglan is pregnant now, and she must not be able to drink, but the county lord of Qinghe is her mother-in-law, and it is difficult to refuse directly, so she just said: "My daughter-in-law is unwell and can't drink, and I hope the second lady will forgive her sins." ”

The lord of Qinghe County ordered someone to investigate, and knew that the doctor invited by Chonglan a few days ago was a good hand in obstetrics and gynecology, but now seeing her refusal, he was a little sure in his heart, and still handed the wine glass forward: "Drink less, this is sweet rice wine, if you don't drink it, it won't hinder anything." ”

Chonglan staggered away quietly: "The second lady is still pregnant, how can she drink?" If I hurt the child in my belly, wouldn't my father blame me? ”

After she finished speaking, she lifted the teapot and poured two teas, and handed one cup to the county lord of Qinghe: "Since the second lady and I can't drink wine, it's better to replace the bar with tea. ”

After she finished speaking, she drank it all, and the county lord of Qinghe secretly gritted her teeth, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to drink the wine cup in her hand slowly.

Chonglan didn't want to stay at the main table for long, and was about to talk to a few familiar ladies, but she was stopped by the lord of Qinghe County again, and ordered someone to clip a crab to her plate: "You try this, the crab that was just sent down at the bottom is big and delicious, and it is suitable to eat it with ginger vinegar." ”
