An Jin insisted on looking at her grandmother, although her grandmother's expression softened, but she did not answer An Jin after all, in her eyes, An Jin is still too young, and there are some things that she should not be able to understand and accept.

"Sister Jin'er, your grandmother will definitely help her solve the matter of your third sister." After speaking, he smiled at An Jin as if he was appeased, "Some things are not that my grandmother doesn't tell you, but they involve too much, how can you explain them clearly in a few words?" There are some things that you need to take time to feel and understand. ”

An Jin listened to her grandmother's words, strangely relaxed, and even a little crying and laughing, and instantly came out of the fact that she was discussing a very strict problem with her grandmother, it was really her grandmother's profound appearance of coaxing children that made her feel a little happy, and she felt a little annoyed.

"Grandmother, can I know?" The old lady and An Jin were both startled, one looked up and the other turned their heads, and they both saw Ruan Anzheng with a miserable face standing outside the door, lifting the curtain with his hand, and looking at the old lady in a daze, "Grandmother, can I know?" Ruan Anzheng trembled his lips and repeated softly, with a stubbornness that bordered on numbness on his bright and beautiful face.

"Sister Zheng." The old lady was a little caught off guard, but subconsciously called. She looked at the girl who came slowly and knelt down in front of her, looking up at herself, her eyes were persistent and stubborn, her heart seemed to be strangled by something, and she was in pain. She seemed to have returned to seventeen years ago, and her youngest daughter Xi'er also knelt down and begged herself like this, and looked at herself with such eyes. Among several granddaughters, both in personality and appearance, Sister Zheng is the most like her daughter, but I didn't expect that their fate would be so similar. No, Sister Zheng'er's situation is much worse than that of her daughter, and it can't be compared at all.

Back then, the one who was in the position of the crown prince, upright, steady and handsome, was already very majestic, he watched Xi'er grow up since he was a child, and he was also deeply in love with Xi'er. Although the Zhao family does not have much real power, but the family is noble, and the daughters in the house are amazing, so it has almost become a practice since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, and one of the daughters of the Zhao family in each generation must enter the harem or marry the prince. At that time, the eldest daughter was married to Su Xiang's second son Su Hu, and now the political envoy of Jinzhou, only the youngest daughter was left in the family.

It's just that at that time, the prince already had a concubine and three side concubines, all of whom were daughters or clan daughters of important ministers in the court, and there were already several concubines, she felt that Xi'er had been too pampered since she was a child, and her temperament was pure, and she was not suitable for marrying into the prince's mansion, so she was the king of Shu, the seventh prince who did not have a concubine, although the king of Shu wanted to be a vassal in the future, and he was reluctant to give up, but it was better than marrying into the prince's mansion and being gnawed to the scum.

But I never expected that my daughter would fall in love with the prince who was seven or eight years older than her, so it was okay, and she could only marry like this. At that time, the palace had already greeted his own family, and he was waiting for the palace to give marriage after the begging festival, but he never expected that the wedding day would be changed, and the queen mother Yizhi gave another five-grade official's daughter Min as the prince's side concubine, and this Min was also the granddaughter of the commander of Huainan.

The configuration of the prince's mansion is a concubine with four side concubines, and the last side concubine position is given to the Min family, so if the daughter wants to enter the prince's mansion again, she can enter as a concubine, but the concubine of the Shunguo Mansion is already a grievance when she enters the prince's mansion as a side concubine, how can she be a concubine?

The prince begged Grandpa Guo to hope that Grandpa Guo would be considerate and said that he would compensate Xi'er, but how to compensate? They later learned that the marriage was temporarily changed, and the prince knew in advance, and the queen mother specially recruited the prince to ask him what he meant before the marriage, and he acquiesced.

The prince hoped that his daughter could suffer some grievances for him, or wait a little longer, but his daughter insisted on begging the grandfather of the country and herself, and married into the Ruan family, which was about to decline. and the prince have never seen each other, and even from the noble social circle, they rarely appeared.

"Grandmother, will you sue us? In this way, my sister and I also have a preparation in our hearts, so as not to be bullied, and we can't do it without knowing the situation. An Jin looked at Ruan Anji, who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly, what is going on is still clear and it is better to be prepared early to deal with it, "The second prince is still preaching everywhere when he asks to marry the third sister, this is forcing the third sister to comply." That fat pig's head, let the third sister marry her, or be small, this is not disgusting for the third sister alone, it is disgusting for the whole family. ”

Ruan Anzheng was kneeling in front of her grandmother in a panic, these days her mother took her around on a blind date without success, and she was humiliated everywhere, so that she slowly realized the severity of the matter from the disdain and resentment of the second prince's courtship. Except for the in-laws, their mother rarely took them to the banquets of the noble family, and they were far away from the royal family and had little contact. Because the grandmother favored her mother, the Shunguo Mansion and the relatives were very kind to their sisters, and there was no contempt for them, and the sister was about to marry into the Shunguo Mansion, so they did not have a deep sense of their identity and situation in their hearts. Even because of the noble pride that their mother and second sister Ruan Antan unconsciously brought out in their bones, they also subtly changed a lot.

Ruan Anzheng accidentally heard Zhuang Lingxi's words relayed by An Jin, and she was originally resentful and frightened, but An Jin's words just now successfully disgusted her, and at the same time, it also diluted her panic and depression a lot, and slowly calmed down. Ruan Anzheng seemed to see the corners of her grandmother's mouth twitch, putting aside all kinds of complicated feelings, Ruan Anzheng continued An Jin's words: "Grandmother, please tell your granddaughter, granddaughter is blunt, she doesn't know what her situation is, and she doesn't even know that she is in danger, how to deal with herself?" ”

The old lady pulled up Ruan Anji, hugged her and sat down on the bed of Anjian, looking at her bright and moving color that resembled a little daughter, and felt a pity in her heart, she looked at Anjin who had sat up from the bed, although she was still young, but she was already amazingly smart, presumably in a few years, she might be even better than her sisters. With such a complexion, and the blood of the Zhao family, but he was born in the declining Ruan family, he is not good at planning, but I don't know how many people will calculate.

The old lady shook Ruan Anzheng's hand, stared at them and said, "Okay, Sister Ji'er, Sister Jin'er, since you insist on knowing, this book is also closely related to you, and my grandmother will sue you." But you remember, you are not only the daughters of the Nguyen family, but also the granddaughters of the Shun Quoc Mansion, and no matter what, your grandmother will stand behind you. ”

After saying this, she staggered her gaze, stared at the dark night outside the window, and said slowly: "You know that the daughter of our Zhao family has a tradition of marrying with the royal family. Not to mention far, that is, in the period of the first emperor, there were queen mothers and concubine mothers, that is, the later Empress Dowager Ciyi and Zhao Taifei Niangniang, all from the Zhao family. And in your generation, your eldest cousin is also married to the third prince of the queen's concubine. But don't you think it's strange? None of your mother's generation married into the royal family. The old lady said slowly, looking proud and a little sad.

What's so strange about this, An Geun said to herself. I remember reading books in the past that said that the emperor likes balance the most, if there is really any descendant, sooner or later it will have to be destroyed, how can you be a relative all the time, aren't all relatives very mysterious? When the power grows to the extreme, it will either be destroyed or shrink on its own. The Zhao family's existence like this is strange enough. She has never seen the former royal family so glorious, and she has become a legendary descendant.

But An Jin didn't want to talk to her grandmother, so she suppressed her doubts and curiosity.

"Actually, it would have been possible for your mother and your great-aunt to marry into the royal family. But by mistake, your eldest aunt rejected the third prince's proposal to marry and married the second son of Su Xiang at that time, who is now your eldest uncle. Your mother, who by chance missed the present day when she was still a prince, married your father. The old lady said word by word.

An Jin complained in her heart, sure enough, it really made her right, so bloody, she thought she wore a declining Hou Mansion Fighting Book, and later found out that it was a legend of a wealthy family, and now it is a palace love and hatred. However, as long as it doesn't affect her good life, she doesn't really mind what she comes. She is such a person, the life of the previous life, the life of the present life, as long as she can live a good life of eating and waiting for death, she doesn't mind how big the change in the unexpected world is, as long as she doesn't have to work hard to get rid of the scum, she must work hard to make her heart and bones barely live, she can live very well.

And Ruan Anzheng is not very calm. She looked at her grandmother in shock and disbelief. This is no wonder of her, although she is a little arrogant, but she has always been a well-behaved Miss Houfu, she has never and dare not think about her mother's scandal, in her eyes, her mother still chose her father because of love, so many years, her father loves her mother very much, even if she has no children, she has never taken a concubine. She originally thought that just like her mother, it would be very good to find a family background, and to be able to live a respectful life like her father and mother.

But her grandmother's words gave her an indescribable trepidation, as if she was going to break something and release a demon that would ruin her life and beliefs.

"Mother...... Mother is so faithful, is she willing to offend His Majesty and marry his father? She muttered as if holding on to something.

An Jin couldn't help but glance at the third sister with a broken face with some sympathy, and her grandmother said that "I missed the present day when I was still the prince at the time" by chance, and things can't be so simple. Today, His Majesty is much older than his mother, and when his mother is about to get married, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince should all be born, so it can't be a normal marriage. Shouldn't it be that His Majesty the Emperor wants to take it by force, and the princess has no choice but to find someone to marry? She is not like Ruan Anzheng, she feels that her father and mother are affectionate, she feels that the two are two parallel lines, both of them live in their own worlds, because of their needs, they just make do with each other.

The old lady did not deny Ruan Anzheng's words, but her eyes changed, and then she slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at the two sisters and said, "Those things, after all, are your mother's old things, so you don't need to ask deeply." You just need to understand your situation, the possible dangers, and know how to deal with yourself. ”

Ruan Anzheng's eyes were already dyed with a thin water, she couldn't hold back her tears, bit her lip stubbornly, and asked, "Grandmother, what should I do, how can I refuse the second prince?" For more than a year, she already knows how difficult it is for her to get married. The people of the upper family in Jingzhong did not want to marry her at all, "If it is, if the second prince really asks for His Majesty's marriage, then what should I do?" After saying that, something suddenly occurred to him, and he said decisively, "If this is the case, I will leave the house." ”

Resisting the will and going to the ordination? An Jinyi, do you think you are the orphan of some great hero or the daughter of some prince's favorite minister? If you want to become a monk, you also need an identity. is the princess and the county lord, the emperor asked them to go to the barren land, and they made it clear that they were going to die, and they also had to say thank their father and emperor/majesty xià Longen, and their daughters/courtiers will not dishonor the dignity of the Great Qi Dynasty and live up to their mission.

Grandmother sighed, shook her head, and then looked into the distance again, and said in a slightly calm tone: "Sister Zheng, don't worry, this matter, grandmother has her own ideas, and she will not let this happen." ”
