CHAPTER 40
Within two days, the news of Duchess Chengguo's new recognition of her goddaughter spread throughout the capital.
Not to mention the dignity given by the queen. Even people who don't have the eyesight can see the direction of the wind clearly.
It's just that the ladies in the back house want to pay more attention to the little girl in the Ye Mansion, and the men in the previous dynasty think that Queen Yuan has already started to help the prince set up his own team.
The identity of the eldest son of the crown prince was crowned the prince when he was born, and he had his brother and the second prince later. The third prince is only more than two years old now, and by the time he grows up, the prince's team will already be stable. Some of the ministers who have divided the wind direction already know the emperor's idea very well in their hearts, as long as the prince does not make major mistakes in the future, the country will definitely be stable.
Of course, there are also unwilling, such as Concubine Jing, who raised the three princes.
Concubine Jing is the concubine of the Nan'an Hou family, and there is a sister who also entered the palace, which is the biological mother of the third prince, but her sister is a weak one, and she died not long after giving birth to the third prince. So the family began to support her on the throne, so that she raised the third prince from a concubine with an inconspicuous position, and thus became a concubine.
Concubine Jing is also a wonderful person, unlike the daughter-in-law carefully cultivated by the family, she grew up with her aunt, although her mother-in-law often takes her with her to teach, but in the end it is better to be intimate with her aunt.
Her aunt is also a powerful figure in the back house, her status is very low, and she didn't even have a side concubine, but she firmly controlled Nan Anhou's heart, otherwise Nan Anhou might not have chosen her to enter the palace among so many concubines.
If there is anyone who is very unhappy about the Duchess of Chengguo's admitting to her relatives, this is probably the only one.
The Chengguo Mansion has narrowed the relationship with the cabinet scholar Ye Ling, if the prince chooses another crown princess who is very tough in the background, then the third prince really has no chance at all.
Within two days, Concubine Jing put Mrs. Nan Anhou into the palace to speak. Mrs. Nan Anhou also brought Concubine Jing's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, very appropriately.
The third prince is now naughty and cute, unlike the two royal brothers who inherited the handsome appearance of the Zhu family, he is more like the people of the Nan'an Hou family. With big eyes, a round face, red lips and white teeth, it makes people happy to look at.
Mrs. Nan'anhou naturally loves her grandson very much, and after talking to Concubine Jing for a while, she asked about the three princes, and Concubine Jing asked her to bring the three princes, and she personally took the three princes to play outside.
Aunt Zhang stayed behind to talk to Concubine Jing.
After retiring from the palace, Concubine Jing expressed her worries: "Seeing the prince grow up day by day, our three princes seem to have no chance at all. ”
Of course, she only dared to say this to her aunt, Mrs. Nan Anhou is the most peaceful person, if she dares to leak a little bit of such words, Mrs. Nan Anhou will have to advise the old man for a long time.
Aunt Zhang thought for a while and said, "Now that the third master is still young, Niangniang should not be in a hurry, everything is not a foregone conclusion." ”
"Where is my hurry, it's really that the age difference between the two princes is too much. If you don't do it now, it will be too late to say anything in two years. ”
Aunt Zhang is not sensitive to the wind direction of the previous dynasty, but she knows very well about the battle in the back house, "I heard that the bachelor in Ye Mansion is married to the Jing'an County Lord of Xinwang Mansion." It doesn't seem to be very congenial. ”
Concubine Jing didn't understand why her aunt said this, and Aunt Zhang continued: "The things outside are gentlemen, but there is always a gap in this back house." Now that Ye Fu has been handed to the live target in front of Niangniang's eyes, just wait for the opportunity to move. ”
Aunt Zhang is the most secure in doing things, Concubine Jing asked herself if she couldn't compare to her aunt's exquisite heart, because she couldn't get along alone for long, so the two talked shallowly for a while, and Concubine Jing handed over this matter to Aunt Zhang to do.
Not long after, Mrs. Nan Anhou came back with the third prince, and the palace people from Concubine Jing had already been called back. A few people continued to laugh as if nothing had happened-
Runrun, after recognizing her relatives, she spent more time with Ruyi, the two went in and out together, and Ruyi often called her to live in Chengguo Mansion. After coming and going, she became familiar with everyone in the Chengguo Mansion.
Duchess Chengguo really likes her, took the good materials in the warehouse, and cut a very decent dress for her and Ruyi, and kept them for the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother.
It stands to reason that Runrun's identity is not accompanied by her mother, and at most she will follow her grandmother in and kowtow. Now because of this relationship with the Duchess of Chengguo, the identity is different. And the Duchess of Chengguo also knew that Manjing didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at it, and she wanted to bring Runrun more and more decently.
Therefore, in the days before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Runrun has been living in the Chengguo Mansion.
On this day, Runrun just got out of school and was ready to go back with Ruyi.
saw that his two brothers were already waiting at the door.
Ye Yu was a little more active, and when he saw her, he ran up and grabbed her hand, "The family sent a letter saying that my uncle is back, let us go back together!" ”
The last time Ye Qi, the eldest man of the Ye family, came back, it was during the Chinese New Year, and it had been more than half a year.
Although Runrun didn't spend much time with her uncle, her uncle treated her very well, brought her a lot of gifts every time she came back, and told her a lot of interesting stories outside.
Runrun was overjoyed, said hello to Ruyi, and followed his brothers into his own carriage.
Back in the house, as soon as the two brothers got off the carriage, Runrun couldn't wait to follow them, squatting on the wheels and opening his arms to them.
It's to be hugged.
Runrun now thinks of himself as a little adult, and he usually does what he can do by himself, but now he suddenly wants to hug him, Ye Yu is very happy, and just wants to go up and hug his soft sister down, his eldest brother Ye Heng has already bumped him aside without saying a word, and he went up to hug Runrun.
Runrun was steadily hugged down by her eldest brother, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she ran into the house.
Because the Duchess of Chengguo prepared a lot of snacks for her, all of which were packed in a bulging small schoolbag on her crossbody, it was a little troublesome to run, so she pressed the schoolbag strap on her shoulder with one hand and the bag with the other.
Ye Heng, Ye Yu and a group of subordinates hurriedly followed.
Runrun ran all the way to the old lady's yard unimpeded, and the maid opened the curtain for her, and she herself got into it first.
Ye Qi, the eldest man of the Ye family, was talking to the old lady, and when he saw her, he pretended to be surprised and exaggerated loudly: "Oh, look at who this is, big girl, I can't recognize it!" ”
Runrun's face was crimson, and a few playful strands of hair were scattered on her forehead, and she replied loudly: "Grandmother, I'm back!" Then he saw Ye Qi and said, "Uncle! Runrun misses you so much! He ran over again.
Ye Qi smiled: "Don't run, don't run, uncle won't go, be careful not to fall." ”
Runrun had already rushed to her eyes with a smile on her face, and pounced on her knee.
Ye Qi is five years older than Ye Ling, and unlike Ye Ling, who is white and beardless and quite handsome, she has a very good-looking beard, and with her gentle expression at this time, she is very kind.
Runrun has been the most delicate one in the family since she was a child, and Ye Qi hugged her more than her two biological daughters.
The old lady pretended to be angry, "Okay, your uncle is back, and there is no one else in his eyes?" ”
Runrun hurriedly said: "No, no, I also miss my grandmother and other people in the family these days!" It's just that she stayed there for three or five days in Ruyi, and compared with her uncle who hasn't seen her for more than half a year, she still wants her uncle more.
Speaking kung fu, Ye Heng and Ye Yu brothers also came over. Runrun is still young, and she is a pampered girl, there are no taboos at home, they can't be as careless as her, when they entered the house, they were also first 'grandmother', 'uncle', 'aunt' and 'aunt' called someone, and they saw the salute, and then they were called to talk by Ye Qi.
Ye Qi simply asked the two brothers about their reading, and Runrun sat on his lap and listened without saying a word, very well-behaved.
The old lady saw that they were harmonious, and naturally rejoiced in her heart, and said to Su Shi beside her: "It's rare for the boss to come back, you can go to the kitchen in a while and add a few more dishes." ”
Su Shi nodded absentmindedly, and instead of looking at Ye Qi, he looked at Ya Qi next to him for a while, and looked at Xiuqiong who was sitting silently on the side.
An hour ago, she was very happy.
But right now, she couldn't laugh.
After Ye Qi came back, he first asked the old lady to say goodbye, and then went back to the house to freshen up and change clothes. It was at that time that Ye Qi told her one thing.
The husband and wife get together less and leave more, Ye Qi is away all the year round, if there are no other women around, Su himself will not believe it. But she doesn't care about those very much, anyway, she keeps them outside, and if she doesn't bring them home, she can't even be considered an aunt. But this time, Ye Qi brought back a person. It's still a body with a body!
Ye Qi has only told her about this matter at present, and the old lady doesn't know yet. But it always has to be said, the old lady was afraid that she could only be happy at that time. There is no man in the big house, which has become a problem for everyone. It's just that she took pity on her Ya Jue, and blamed herself for not being angry and not giving him a brother......
Thinking of this, Su Shi's eyes almost turned red.
Ya Jue was careful and found that something was wrong with her mother. Obviously, when my father sent a letter saying that I was going back, my mother was looking forward to the stars and the moon every day, and when my father entered the door just now, my mother was also both happy and excited.
Feeling Ya Jue's concerned gaze, Su Shi smiled softly at her and said softly: "It's okay, I thought about your father coming back yesterday, I didn't sleep well, and I have a headache right now." ”
