The lord of the great county listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Yuan, pursed his mouth, bowed his head and saluted: "Emperor Xie's great-grandmother, that is, the emperor's great-grandmother, maternal grandmother, Liu'er has been out for a long time, I am afraid that the mother concubine is worried, so I still retired first, and I will come back another day to ask the emperor's great-grandmother and grandmother to say goodbye." ”

The eldest princess Yonghua still kept silent with a dark face, and the Empress Dowager Yuan had already nodded and said, "Also, your mother must have heard the rumors, and I am afraid that she is very concerned about you." Go back to your mother, and relax her heart. ”

Then he turned to the two cousins of the Yuan family who were standing aside, and said, "You two should also go down, and go to your mother to calm their hearts, lest they mishear any rumors and worry that something has happened to you." ”

A few people were busy saluting and should leave. When they walked away, Princess Yonghua snorted coldly: "They are all conscienceless, but they pity my Xiang'er." ”

Empress Dowager Yuan said unhappily: "That's also your granddaughter, and you should have a score for your partiality." Seeing that Li Xiangjun was still there next to him, he looked really pitiful, so he didn't say anything more ugly after all, but said, "This is not about Liu'er, you forced her like this, wouldn't it be the anger of the second child to let her go back, you should also know that Xiao'er's situation is not good, and that is also your daughter." ”

The eldest princess Yonghua stopped talking, but she looked down at the little daughter she was holding, and couldn't help but hate: "Then is this matter just over?" Xiang'er suffered such a great sin. Li Xiangjun's eyes turned red again when he heard this. The eldest princess Yonghua paused, and then said, "And you see that if the slut of the Ruan family really enters the Second Prince's Mansion, where is there a foothold for my Xiao'er, I am also anxious for Xiao'er." ”

Empress Dowager Yuan said with a little headache: "I have my own measure in this matter, don't meddle in extraneous branches." In his heart, he had secretly decided that he must try his best to find an opportunity to give Ruan Anzheng to his maiden nephew Yuan Buliang, otherwise the deeper Concubine Zhao intervenes, the more difficult things will inevitably be, and if Ruan Anzheng is really given to the third prince, things will be even worse.

Let's say that the big county lord walked all the way to Concubine De's depth of field courtyard, while playing a drum in his heart, he also recalled Yuan Qi's words in his ear before: "Although the Ruan family is in decline, the Shunguo Mansion has a high reputation, and Concubine De has always wanted to marry the Shunguo Mansion, but the status of the daughter of the Guogong Mansion is too high, and she can't be a side concubine, she must want to accept the granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion, the Ruan family girl." But now that the third lady of the Ruan family is raised in the concubine Niangniang, Concubine De Niangniang is worried that she can't find an excuse, if this matter is big, the Ruan family will be at a loss, and Miss Ruan San will have a bad reputation. ”

The lord of the county didn't believe that Empress Dowager Yuan and Princess Yonghua would harm his mother, but Yuan Qi's words were not unreasonable. Thinking of Ruan Anjian's words again, her face darkened, and she couldn't tell that her aunt really had the idea of marrying her father, and she heard that her aunt's marriage was difficult, and ordinary good people were unwilling to marry.

In this way, the big county lord who had over-brained supplementation went to Concubine De's residence, Jingshen Courtyard, and waited for more than half an hour before waiting back for Concubine De, who went to judge the entries of the Qiqiao Club, and his mother, the second princess, who was on the side.

Concubine De saw Jiang Liu, the gray lord who was standing in the courtyard to greet her, and she didn't glance at it, so she went straight to the hall. When he walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, he took the water handed by the palace maid and cleaned his hands, wiped it carefully, wiped the ointment of the handguards, and then slowly raised his eyes to look at the big county lord standing below, and said with a smile: "I heard that today the big county lord of our family is very majestic and beat the granddaughter of the Zhao family of the Shunguo Mansion, but is it true?" ”

The second princess's face turned pale, but she didn't dare to say anything to cover up the past for her daughter, so she had to secretly give her daughter a look, hoping that she could follow Concubine De to admit her mistake, so she turned the big thing into a small one, and put the matter away, don't be as stubborn as usual to make things bigger, and when you go home, you have to be drugged again, and you will be rejected by the second prince.

Jiang Liu saw the sad eyes of his mother, and believed Yuan Qi's words even more, so he accepted his usually stunned and stubborn donkey-like temperament, and replied to Concubine De obediently: "Imperial grandmother, Miss Ruan is still polite, and Liu'er has never done anything with them. It's just that my aunt doesn't like others to say that she looks ugly, so she will make trouble. ”

Concubine De glanced at her in surprise, smiled more and more gently, and said, "Since this is the case, let's pay it back." The girl of the Ruan family is the granddaughter of the Zhao family of the concubine Niangniang's mother, and she must be a good child, and if you have the opportunity, you have to be good friends with them. You are a dignified royal county lord, but don't learn from such a petty family, do such shameless things, and lose your identity. ”

After speaking, he beckoned Jiang Liu to step forward, pulled him closer and took a closer look, and said: "I must still be frightened, I have to be careful in the future, don't listen to the instigation of others, and use people as a gunman." ”

Here, the second princess saw that her daughter was not punished, and she was very relieved, but Concubine De's mouth "did such a shameless thing" and "listened to the instigation of others" meant that she was referring to her own sister-in-law, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Concubine De instructed the palace maid to boil some sour jujube kernel soup, and the way was to suppress the shock of the big county lord, and when she turned her head, she saw that her daughter-in-law had a complicated complexion and a sneer in her heart, but her face remained unchanged and said to her daughter-in-law: "Our Liu'er is also older, and the second daughter-in-law, you should also put more effort to teach her. ”

The second princess became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly responded: "Concubine Xie taught, and the daughter-in-law knows, and she will teach Liu'er when she goes back." ”

Concubine De looked down at Jiang Liu's wide eyes, a little stunned, and her heart softened, so she reached out and touched Jiang Liu's head, and said to the second princess: "Don't be too strict, our family Liu'er is a good child, it would be good if you put more effort into her." You are the second concubine, you need to have the appearance of a virtuous concubine, the second prince's mansion is good, you will naturally be fine. ”

The second princess felt bitter in her heart, but she still bowed her head.

It wasn't until Shen Shi that Ruan Anshu, who was in a coma, woke up. The Zhao family had already inquired about the matter clearly, and when the dust settled, they left Concubine Zhao, led their daughters to stay by Ruan Anshu's bedside, and did not take their daughters to meet Concubine Zhao.

The result of this begging meeting came out, Ruan Anzheng's carved Buddha girl actually won a seventh, although the ranking was not high, it also won a ranking, which is very good, but everyone here is very worried, no one is happy because of this, and the Zhao family is even more worried because of Concubine Zhao's words.

Seeing Ruan Anshu wake up, Zhao asked the imperial doctor that it should be okay to walk slowly in a carriage, so he asked the maid to say goodbye to Concubine Zhao, and led his daughters to bring the niece back to Ruan's mansion.

Aunt Fan in Qinglian Courtyard looked at Concubine Zhao's slightly tired expression, and gently persuaded: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, Miss Xi, she will always understand Niangniang's hard work." ”

Concubine Zhao sneered and said, "She understands? She never understood it in her life. ”

Aunt Fan couldn't take this easily, so she changed the topic and said: "Miss Ruan Jiaqi is a good one, smart, quick-eyed, and courageous, if you cultivate it, it will be a good one." Niangniang, you have done your best for the Zhao family. After all, she is Concubine Zhao's confidant, and she knows Concubine Zhao's thoughts.

Concubine Zhao pressed her forehead, shook her head and said softly: "If it were me, I wouldn't want to care about these things anymore, but Changhua is having a hard time in Lingnan, how can I ignore her." I heard that the king of Lingnan favored Concubine Bai alone, and he loved the eldest son of Concubine Bai even more. Speaking of this, he felt bitter and resentful, and said in a calm tone, "I heard that they even want Ye'er to marry the daughter of the Bai family as the princess, how dare they?!" ”

When Aunt Fan heard this, she felt uncomfortable, so she only persuaded: "The princess's status is precious, and the prince is even more calm and capable, so the mother doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Concubine Zhao nodded, closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed again for a long time, "Everyone in the world has a legend that the Zhao family has a peerless beauty, but when I see the woman of the Zhao family, I can't help but feel exaggerated." In fact, those are all misinformation, the Zhao family does have peerless beauties, but not all of them, only one of the generations, but I never thought that this generation was actually out of the daughter who married outside. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Aunt Fan thought of the little girl's eyes like a meteor in the night that had just been dismantled, and said with a smile: "When you see it, you will know." ”

Here, An Jin got into the carriage home, walked a short distance, and saw Ruan Anji's slightly melancholy face through the curtain of the car, only to remember that she had forgotten a very important thing, and she actually forgot to find an opportunity to ask Ruan Anzheng about the jade pendant! However, thinking that his mother said that Ruan Anzheng would come home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had to comfort himself and ask again at that time.

Back to Ruan's Mansion, there was a rush of war again, Aunt Liu of the big house saw that her daughter was carried back, and she almost fainted, she felt sorry for her daughter but didn't dare to blame the Zhao family, so she only endured crying and guarded the daughter who was carried back to the big house and kept shedding tears.

The old lady also heard the rumors, and first went to see Ruan Anshu in person, Ruan Anshu was lying down, and only said intermittently: "The eldest princess's young lady sees that the third sister is good-looking, so she wants to ruin her appearance, I am next to the third sister, and I can't ignore the third sister." After speaking, her face turned a little pale, and the old lady was shocked when she heard it, and she was busy ordering her to rest, and she went back to Shou'an Hall by herself, and called everyone from the Zhao family to Shou'an Hall for questioning.

The old lady heard that the source of this accident was because An Jin did not salute the lord of the second prince's mansion, and later offended the young lady of the eldest princess's mansion, and she was very unhappy.

The old lady reprimanded An Jin and said: "The daughter's family should be virtuous and virtuous, respectful and courteous, your words are reckless and absurd, where is what the daughter of the boudoir should say, so you offended Miss Li's family, and led the things behind, that's it, you dared to hit people later, it was simply a loss of face for the daughter of the Ruan family." He said to Zhao again, "When I went back, I immediately prepared a gift and took this evil obstacle to the eldest princess's mansion to apologize, and I must ask the eldest princess to forgive this evil obstacle before I can come back." ”

The old lady was originally under the influence of the Liu family, with the idea of marrying Ruan Anzheng back to the Liu family to supplement her mother's family, but later got a hint from Concubine De that she wanted to give Ruan Anzheng to the second prince as a side concubine, thinking that this was also a good future, so she rested her original thoughts. But this time, these little ones actually offended the big county lord of the Second Prince's Mansion, the second princess's maiden princess's house, and Ruan Anzheng will have to beg for a living under the second princess in the future, but how can he be good?
