Lu Yu, the Marquis of Wenzhong, lived by the shadow of his ancestors, and the official positions donated to his son were all idle, and Lu Roujia's father was the Zuo Governor of the Imperial History. The official of the imperial history is also idle, he doesn't have to work hard for government affairs, he has nothing to do when he is idle, pick someone who doesn't like his eyes, and scold a few words without pain.

Originally, this was nothing, but the key was that Huo Zongyuan was the queen's nephew, and the entire Huo family was helping the prince.

When the King of Wei was not reprimanded and confined at the beginning, he competed for favor and had a war of words, and the most lively thing about jumping up and down was the gang of imperial historians, and now the Huo family has pulled this right-handed governor of the imperial history over, what is the idea of fighting, isn't it obvious?

That Huo Zongyuan is notorious, and people with a little family background are not very willing to marry him, let alone expect to marry a serious prince in the mansion, and the eldest princess Huazhen was still worried about this before, and vaguely mentioned that she wanted to ask Concubine Cui to find a good marriage.

Now it's good, Lu Roujia has a little bit of a difference, seeing that she may not be able to marry into Duanwang's Mansion, and even have to be tired of it, the queen and the eldest princess Huazhen drilled the gap and told Huo Zongyuan, the famous overlord, who was so clever!

Too clever!

Displeasure flashed across Concubine Cui's face.

However, in front of Shen Fei, she didn't say much, she thought about these things thoroughly in her heart, so she was not in the mood to be perfunctory with Shen Yan, rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "I'm tired after copying Buddhist scriptures for a long time, I'll go and rest for a while." ”

Shen Yu saw the opportunity to retreat.

When I left Yongfu Palace, there were dark clouds outside, as if there was going to be a thunderstorm. She walked outside the Yonghe Palace, and the little eunuch at the door hurriedly entered to report, and after a while, Xu Yan walked out, and the two met in His Majesty, Xu Yan said in a low voice: "The imperial brother has just fallen asleep after taking medicine, let's go out of the palace first." ”

"Your Majesty, he ......," Shen Yu was surprised.

However, the palace is not a good place to talk, the two of them went out of the palace and got into the carriage, and there was a rumbling thunder outside, and after a while, a raindrop the size of a bean fell and rustled the leaves.

Shen Yu still remembered the question just now, "Isn't the emperor good?" ”

"I was angry after watching Feng Song just now, and Daoist Lan served him to take medicine and rest, and told me to leave the palace first."

Shen Yu didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in such a short period of time after she left, and couldn't help asking, "What can make the emperor angry like that?" ”

"Someone went up to impeach King Wei, listing crimes such as bribery and power, forming a party for personal gain, arrogance and lasciviousness, etc., the imperial brother didn't do anything at first, but then I didn't know if he remembered something, and suddenly he was so angry that he changed color, and I didn't make a fuss."

It's this King Wei again...... Alas.

Shen Yu sighed and asked again, "Is the matter that the queen said decided?" ”

"The two governments have already agreed, don't worry." Xu Yan remembered Shen Yan's cautious appearance before, and couldn't help but take her into his arms, "What about you, did you make the concubine happy?" ”

"Of course it's a qiē smooth. Even if the concubine may not like me, at least she will not be angry with me because of it. Alas, at the moment, I don't expect the concubine to like me, as long as she doesn't look at me unpleasantly, even if I burn high incense. Shen Yan smiled as she ate.

Xu Yan also felt the same way, "There are too many rights and wrongs in the capital, and when there is less turmoil, I will ask the imperial brother for what he means and take you to Mobei for a walk." ”

"Is it okay?" Shen Yu was pleasantly surprised.

"Why not?" Xu Yan is determined.

*

The impeachment of the King of Wei really had an effect, and the King of Wei, who had been confined at home for a period of three years, did not even have time to resist, and was ordered by Emperor Huiping to take away the head of the palace, Shi Si, except for the most basic servants and maids, and no longer be worshiped by any prince.

That's basically what it means to keep him alive.

Shen Yu didn't have too deep feelings about this, and in mid-June, the weather in the capital was hot, so she asked Aunt Jiang and Jiang Zhen, Jiang Ling, and the princess of Nanping County, Meng Yan, and the county lord of Rouyin, to go to Miaofeng Mountain outside the capital to escape the summer.

Miaofeng Mountain is about forty or fifty miles away from the capital, surrounded by peaks, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, many high-ranking noble families in the capital have built another residence here, every summer when the heat is scorching, they come here in groups to cool off.

Although Xu Yan was not keen on this matter, he made a lot of contributions to the battlefield, and Emperor Huiping not only rewarded gold, silver and jade silk, but also rewarded a separate garden in this Miaofeng Mountain.

The garden is located on the mountainside, the government has built a smooth road around the mountain, the thick shade on both sides covers the sky and the sun, and when the breeze blows slowly, it makes people feel refreshed a lot.

Xu Yan has not taken care of it since he won this garden, but when Emperor Huiping rewarded the house, he rewarded the people who took care of the house, and although it was vacant in the past two years, the servants and maids in it were still sprinkled and cleaned as usual.

The Nanping County Mansion also has a separate garden in this area, but it is separated from the Duanwang Mansion by two hills, so she doesn't toss it, and lives with Aunt Jiang and others, which is more lively.

In the afternoon, when they were idle and enjoying the coolness, Shen Yu found Aunt Jiang.

After all, she had never been married, and Mrs. Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good relationship back then, and she didn't have much experience to pass on to her, so she had to ask Aunt Jiang for an idea.

Talking about the causes and consequences of Concubine Cui's desire to stuff Lu Roujia in, Shen Yan was a little distressed, "Auntie, you are also a mother-in-law, can you give me a trick?" Although I don't have to wait for the concubine from time to time, it is inevitable that I will enter the palace, and if I don't get along well, His Royal Highness's face will not look good. ”

Aunt Xue looked at her with a smile, "I look at His Royal Highness Duanwang, I want you to enter the palace less and enjoy happiness outside with peace of mind." Why do you want to compromise and get it all right? ”

Shen Yan's face turned red, "Although he said this, if I get into trouble with the concubine too stiffly, it will still damage his reputation in the end." ”

- She doesn't have the ability to move forward side by side with Xu Yan at the moment, so she can't help him, but she can't hold him back.

What is it to be temporarily wronged? It would be a good thing if the relationship between the concubine and Xu Yan could be eased, and it would save her a lot of trouble.

I didn't think anything about it before, but now I'm more and more reluctant to make it difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

Aunt Jiang immediately guessed her thoughts, and couldn't help patting the back of her hand, "It's a good thing that you are willing to do this for King Duan." In fact, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are just like that, with the status of the concubine, I am afraid that they can't look down on the little jasper in our Luling City, right? ”

Shen Yu nodded honestly.

Aunt Jiang continued: "His Royal Highness King Duan has not married a concubine all these years, and this time he suddenly proposed to marry, the concubine should be happy, but he wants to marry a folk girl as a concubine, and the concubine is definitely not happy in her heart, not to mention that the concubine has fallen in love with Lu Roujia, and it is always easy to compare it when facing you, and the mustard in her heart is even deeper." ”

"That's true, the concubine has mentioned Lu Roujia's Houmen background several times, presumably she really doesn't like my identity."

"That's it, you see that among the dozen or so princes now, which one of them didn't follow the rituals of the heavenly family when they married? His Royal Highness Duanwang is good, all the way from the capital to Luling to greet his relatives in person, this is naturally because he is considerate of you, and wants to tell everyone that he holds you in the palm of his hand, but in the concubine's place, what will she think? ”

Shen Yan twisted her clothes and bit her lip, "She will think that His Royal Highness spoils me too much, which is not a good thing." ”

Aunt Jiang nodded, "If it were me, I would naturally be willing to see that your cousin and sister-in-law have a harmonious relationship and get along well." But if your cousin disobeys the family precepts for the sake of your sister-in-law, goes against the will of me and your uncle, and even adds to my heart in order to defend you, do you think I can like your sister-in-law? ”

Shen Yu Huo Ran raised her head and changed places, as if this was really the case.

If she were herself, if her brother married a daughter-in-law in the future and disobeyed her mother everywhere, she would not be happy.

So Lu Roujia is just a trivial matter, what the concubine really has in her heart is Xu Yan's expression of "marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother"!

Aunt Jiang looked at her demeanor and felt relieved, "Figured it out?" ”

"Understood." When Shen Yu found the crux of the problem, she felt that her thoughts were much smoother.

Aunt Jiang explained to her again, "Although the relationship between the concubine and His Royal Highness King Duan may not be close, everyone in the world who is a mother, even if she is deliberately neglected, still cares about her son in her heart." Like me, even now, I selfishly hope that your cousin will listen to me and act according to my will. As a concubine, she naturally hopes so. ”

"Then I'll go back and talk to His Highness, and don't let him get involved in the future, right?"

"That Lu Roujia's matter, in fact, it's very good to deal with it like this, the concubine deliberately embarrassed you, just to let you know her status and make you obedient. She's an old man, so what's the point if you follow it? Although it is ugly to hear, it is very effective to coax people. You only have to remember one thing, what the concubine wants is decency, you give her this, and she will live in peace. ”

Shen Yu had some understanding, but there was one last doubt, "But Yang Fengyin is violated, wouldn't it be bad to be discovered by the concubine?" ”

"This is your child's straightforwardness and honesty." Aunt Jiang smiled, "The concubine entered the palace when she was a teenager, and she has been in the palace for decades, and even the queen mother has died, but she is firmly sitting in the position of the concubine, is it by mistake?" She actually knows these things. Left and right, do you not want to follow her wishes and let the side concubine enter the door, on the one hand, you directly refute her face and insist on refusing, on the other hand, you are disobedient but still flattering her to your heart's content, which is better? ”

"It's the latter, of course." Shen Yu smiled, "Aunt really can see through!" “

Aunt Jiang smiled, "You just entered the door, if you blindly disobey, it will only make her more and more unhappy." If you just flatter and follow her, you will be too wronged and despised by her. Now this is just right, so that she knows that you will flatter her and respect her, but you will not let her rub it round. ”

After saying this, Shen Yu was empowered, and immediately toasted Aunt Jiang with three cups of tea.

The two of them were talking about themselves here, and in the back garden of Duanwang's Mansion, Xu Yan was also sitting opposite Jiang Wenying. Different from Shen Yan's relaxed closeness, the atmosphere of these two is a little dignified.
