"The eldest lady came to beg me, but she was willing to seek the near and far." Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Liu Ruoxi thought about it for a while and said with a smile, "In this matter, the eldest lady doesn't need to look for anyone, just tell the second sister." If you want to say that you are well-connected, who can compare to the eldest princess. The second sister is so valued by the eldest princess, and the second sister mentions it to the eldest princess, and she will definitely be able to find a wishful home for the eldest sister. ”

She ...... Second girl, she ......" Mrs. Liu's face showed an embarrassed expression.

"It's strange to ask her to be useful." Liu Ruoyuan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Don't say that she doesn't have such a good intention, even if she does, she doesn't have the ability." ”

"You don't have to say a word." Mrs. Liu glared at Liu Ruoyuan in a hurry, and said in a low voice.

Liu Ruoyuan snorted, but immediately stopped talking. Liu Ruoyuan looked at it from the side, and she was a little puzzled, Liu Ruoyuan's temper, if it was left in the past, where would it be so easy to be obedient.

"How can the second girl compare with Mrs., just ask Mrs. to bother, so it will be fulfilled." Mrs. Liu Tai tried her best to accompany Caution.

Even so, Liu Ruoxi would not rashly agree. But this matter is not only Liu Ruoyuan or Mrs. Liu's own business, so Liu Ruoyuan didn't say anything at the moment, so she only quietly glanced at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu coughed dryly.

"Big Lady ......"

"Go down and rest first." Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to say anything, Mrs. Liu suddenly spoke.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan both looked at Mrs. Liu, and the two of them immediately got up and saluted and left.

“…… These days, I often talk about her, the big girl is a lot more sensible, and her temperament has smoothed out a lot. You are now in the palace, not as at home as before, and you don't need me to tell you many things, and you know better in your heart than I am an old woman. "When Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan are sent away, Mrs. Liu will talk to Liu Ruoyuan." …… It's already a little unsightly. The family is also thinking about ......"

"I see." Mrs. Liu said this, what else did Liu Ruoxi not understand, "I don't dare to guarantee anything, just ask the old lady to rest assured, I will find a way when I go back." ”

"Hey." When Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Ruoxi no longer shirked, and agreed very happily, she was immediately relieved. Liu Ruoxi is indeed a good child who understands the truth very well, and also attaches great importance to love and righteousness and attaches importance to his mother's family. "You can consider this matter for yourself, and don't pay attention to their own careful thoughts."

"Yes. The granddaughter made a note of it. Liu Ruoxi nodded in agreement. Mrs. Liu's meaning is to be the right family and get by in the face of the Liu family. As for Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan's unrealistic thoughts, they don't need to think about it. Things have come to this point, and the thoughts and opinions of the mother and daughter are completely insignificant.

Because Liu Ruoxi's body was inconvenient, the banquet for Liu Ruoxi was set up in Mrs. Liu's room. When the food was put on the table, there was nothing fishy at all, which was naturally for the sake of taking care of Liu Ruoxi. Even so, when Liu Ruoxi sat down at the table. still left the old lady sent by the Su family to serve by his side. After eating, Liu Ruoxi still went to Mrs. Liu's house.

Rong Chenghan also had a banquet over there and came over with Second Master Liu and Liu Yuwen, Liu Ruoxi and Second Mrs. Liu sat on the couch, and Second Master Liu took Rong Chenghan and Liu Yuwen to sit around the table. Everyone drank tea. While gossiping about some homely things. The main topic is Liu Ruoxi's physical condition.

Liu Yuwen is still young, and the child in Liu Ruoxi's belly will be the first grandchild of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu. It is reasonable for the two people to pay special attention.

"It's not easy for their women's family at this time. Cheng Han, you have to be more considerate. Second Master Liu said to Rong Chenghan with a smile.

Rong Chenghan naturally didn't have anything else to say, only smiled and nodded. As soon as they talked in the house for a while, the two old ladies who had been arranged to go out for tea came back to serve. The meaning of the words is to urge Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan to return to the palace.

Liu Ruoxi was a little reluctant, but Mrs. Liu persuaded her to go back quickly.

"You've been out for a long time, and it's normal for your mother-in-law to be worried." Second Mrs. Liu said to Liu Ruoxi, "Come back when you're free, or I'll go over and see you." I'm fine right now. ”

The two old grandmothers were very careful, and Liu Ruoxi happened to remember what Mrs. Liu San said and Mrs. Liu's entrustment, she thought about it and nodded. After sitting for a while, Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan got up and came out.

When I returned to the palace, I still saw the Su family first. Su asked Liu Ruoxi a few words, and let Liu Ruoxi go back to the room to rest.

"Third child, you wait." Rong Chenghan also came out with Liu Ruoxi, but was suddenly stopped by the Su family.

"What does the concubine command?" Rong Chenghan stood still, while signaling that Liu Ruoxi didn't need to avoid it, and was waiting for him next to him.

Su Shi looked at Rong Chenghan, and then at Liu Ruoxi, knowing in her heart that the young couple was very affectionate, although she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she was unwilling to show it in front of Rong Chenghan.

"Your father has been very busy lately, you have to be free, you should be more careful. If you can help your father, you should help more. Your father is king...... After all, it's a few years old. Su instructed Rong Chenghan.

The old prince has been very busy recently, and Liu Ruoxi also knows about this. She listened to what Rong Chenghan said, the emperor is now adjusting the four sides of the defense, and he doesn't know how many things are common. The old prince is familiar with military affairs and geography, and has been stationed in the north, west, and south, and the emperor often talks to the old prince, and many things are also shared with the old prince.

Rong Chenghan was also called by the emperor, but Rong Chenghan was still young after all, and although he was very familiar with northern Xinjiang, he had not been to other places. Compared with the old prince, Rong Chenghan is naturally much easier, and he is young, so he doesn't regard these as burdens.

“…… The third watch hasn't slept yet, and he got up without a watch, and he forgot to sleep and eat, how could he go on like this. Su Shi showed a sad face, and said to Rong Chenghan, "I persuaded him, where is he willing to listen, only say that it is a major matter of the family and the country, and it is the emperor's trust." Hey, you advise your father, that your body is important. ”

"Yes, Princess." Rong Chenghan nodded in response.

Su Shi seemed to have a lot to say, but when he looked at Rong Chenghan, he stopped talking, and finally only sighed and waved his hand at Rong Chenghan.

"That's it. You have to take it to heart. Go ahead. ”

After Su Shi finished speaking, he measured his body and lowered his head slightly, his expression was quite depressed.

Back in Yunshuiju, Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan changed their homely clothes and went to the water pavilion behind. Now the summer is scorching, the water pavilion is near the water, the surrounding flowers and trees are lush, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is a good place to enjoy the coolness. Mama Chang had already led people to put down curtains around the water pavilion, and a couch and a small table were placed in the water pavilion. Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan rested on the couch to enjoy the coolness.

Gently shaking the palace fan, Liu Ruoxi asked Rong Chenghan what he thought of Su's instructions.

"My father was loyal and devoted to the country. He will do his best to do such a great thing. Persuasion is not persuadable. Rong Chenghan said.

"What then. What the mother said, regardless of anything else for the time being, the father's body is important, but there is no doubt about it. Liu Ruoxi said, while pushing away the pillow, she simply leaned on Rong Chenghan's body. Lowered his voice and whispered to Rong Chenghan.

"Ahan, you are a well-known man. With you, let's go out of the house and live by ourselves, whatever. I'm not worried at all. But in this palace, the father is the pillar. With the father and the king here, it's all good, but there is some chaos. It's also suppressed, and it won't be too outrageous if you don't dare. But if there is anything in the body of the father, it will be ......"

If they can go out by then, that's fine. If you still can't get out, you're going to fall into chaos, and it's impossible to be alone.

Liu Ruoxi: This is still more tactful. Rong Chenghan naturally knew no less about the situation of the palace than Liu Ruoxi, and he thought deeply of Liu Ruoxi's words. The problem of the palace, as long as there is the old prince for a day, it will not be a problem.

But the old prince is already in the age of sixties, who can live forever.

If the old prince is gone, the palace will face many serious problems. The first one is that there is a lack of successors. The glory of several generations of Yongjing Palaces was fought out immediately. But now the heir of the palace, Rong Chengyi, is indulging in the pear orchard, and most of the time he inherited the throne is to be an idle prince. And with Rong Jin's current physical condition, he must not go on a horse to lead the troops to fight in the future, and the imperial doctor has already made a judgment.

The problem of lack of successors, unless the old prince lives for another twenty years, and when Rong Jin grows up/he marries a wife and has children, he pins his hopes on his great-grandson.

If this is still something that can be considered later, but if something happens to the old prince, the palace still has many problems that will be faced immediately.

Rong Chenghan won't think of these things, but he won't think about them for the time being. Because the old prince looks very healthy now, the old prince's posthumous affairs are still a long time later, and there is no need to think about it now.

Liu Ruoxi gossiped like this and said these words to Rong Chenghan in order not to make Rong Chenghan feel sudden and suspicious, and at the same time, it could also play a role in reminding Rong Chenghan.

There are some things that smart people will do, which is what smart people will do, that is, as the saying goes, be prepared.

"I will go and persuade my father." Rong Chenghan said slowly, not only that, if there is anything he can do for the old prince, he will do it.

"My father is just too serious, and he likes to do some things himself. I'll do my best, though. ”

"Hmm." Liu Ruoxi nodded.

Speaking of the old prince's business, the only person who can help in this mansion now is Rong Chenghan. Su must have known this, so he deliberately said those words to Rong Chenghan.

"There is a family temple in our house?" Liu Ruoxi asked as if unintentionally.

"Yes, just north of the city." Rong Chenghan nodded, "Why did you suddenly ask about this, you want to go to the family temple for incense?" ”

"I heard that the seventh sister lived in the Su family's family temple. The family temple of the Su family is very close to the family temple of the palace. …… Some people also saw the seventh sister go to the family temple of the palace a few times, dodging and dodging, as if to avoid people's eyes. Liu Ruoxi thought about it for a while, and told Rong Chenghan all the news she heard from Mrs. Liu San.

Now, Liu Ruoxi has decided that these things are no longer hidden from Rong Chenghan. The so-called one person is short-minded, and two people are long-term. She and Rong Chenghan joined hands to be able to look at what they wanted. This is the experience that Liu Ruoxi has gained from living in the palace for this time, and she has a lot of life now, and most of them depend on it.

"Auntie......" Rong Chenghan lowered his head and looked straight into Liu Ruoxi's eyes.

"Well, it's not like I'm going to hide it from you." Liu Ruoxi smiled, "I instructed people to pay more attention to the seventh sister." The reason is not hidden from you......" Liu Ruoxi sued Rong Chenghan, she did this because she felt that Su Qingnuan was an unstable factor.

"It's not that I'm jealous......," Liu Ruoxi added with a smile.

"Is there anyone living in the family temple?"

Rong Chenghan couldn't answer this question for a while.

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate." Rong Chenghan said.

"If you ask someone to ask, remember to be careful and don't ...... Act rashly and alert the enemy. Liu Ruoxi said meaningfully. Su Qingnuan is a woman with a strong sense of purpose in speaking and doing things, Liu Ruoxi doesn't believe that Su Qingnuan will spend time doing useless things.

Is Su Qingnuan planning something?

Liu Ruoxi wanted to find out, but she didn't want to alarm Su Qingnuan.

"I know, don't worry, auntie."

Liu Ruoxi nodded, Rong Chenghan really didn't have anything to worry about.

Rong Chenghan arranged for someone to investigate the family temple and what Su Qingnuan was secretly doing, Liu Ruoxi thought about it here, and asked Mama Chang to call two capable housekeepers' daughters-in-law over. Liu Ruoji told the daughters-in-law that she was idle and bored now, and she wanted to chat with a few old people who were familiar with the old palace. The housekeepers and daughters-in-law were all shrewd, and after listening to Liu Ruoxi's words, they went down to make arrangements, and soon, they found four old grandmothers.

These four old grandmothers are all old people in the palace, and now that they are old, they have only returned home to raise them.

Liu Ruoxi asked people to bring tea fruits, chatted with these old ladies slowly, and gradually led the topic to the family temple.

"In addition to those monks raised in our house, there are other people living in the temple now?" Liu Ruoxi seemed to ask unintentionally.

“…… And no one else. ”

"I've been out for a long time, but I don't know this."

Several old women had different answers, Liu Ruoxi glanced at several people, and did not ask any more questions at the moment, and chatted for a while, Liu Ruoxi asked people to take out a few rulers to reward these old women, and then sent someone to send a few old women out, only saying that they would call them to talk when they were free in the future.

When it was approaching evening, Liu Ruoxi called a housekeeper's daughter-in-law again.

"During the day, I heard the old ladies tell some stories, and I thought it was very interesting. Especially the old lady surnamed Li, I think she is the best at telling stories. You go and invite someone over again......" Liu Ruoxi quietly instructed the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, "Come in through the back corner door." It's getting late, be careful on the road and don't alarm anyone. ”

This daughter-in-law has been accepted by Liu Ruoxi as a confidant, and she is more clever than others, after listening to Liu Ruoxi's instructions, she already understood in her heart, and hurriedly agreed to go out.

"Madam, this is ......," Mama Chang asked Liu Ruoxi on the side.

"During the day, the big guy was talking, and I asked if there were any other people living in the temple. They all said they didn't know, but when I looked at their faces, one of them probably really didn't know, and the other three didn't necessarily know. Especially this old lady surnamed Li. Liu Ruoxi told Mama Chang, "Her man was in charge of sending silver rice to the family temple, and she has been walking around the inner courtyard of the palace since she was a child. I think she must know a lot. Moreover, after I finished asking, she also secretly looked at me several times. ”

Of the four old grandmothers, three may know something, but judging from the appearance of the other two of them, I am afraid that they are not as easy to speak as this Li Mama. Therefore, Liu Ruoxi did not ask at that time, and only arranged for someone to call Mama Li over alone in the evening to inquire again.

"If my guess is correct, Su Qingnuan went to the family temple in the palace, not for anything, but for someone in the family temple." Liu Ruoxi gently flicked the charcoal in the hand stove with a copper chopstick, and said in a low voice.

Who lives in the family temple of the palace, even Rong Chenghan doesn't know. Look at the fact that the palace is so secretive about this matter, and what kind of old things and grievances are entangled in it that cannot be touched.

Liu Ruoxi wanted to know. (To be continued......)
