A group of people sat and laughed together, among which Jia Min and Mrs. Liu were particularly close to each other, but there were many topics to talk about, obviously they should be meeting for the first time, but they had a tacit understanding, like sisters who had not seen each other for many years.

Because both of them are proficient in writing and ink, have brilliant literary talents, have similar hobbies, and have both left the capital and traveled abroad, others have never thought much about it, and even Jia's mother sighed again and again, saying that she missed it.

After laughing for a while, seeing the time of the meal, Jia's mother politely left Mrs. Liu to eat, Mrs. Liu smiled and declined, only saying that she had just returned to the capital, and there were still a lot of things that had not been cleaned up, so she said goodbye this time, and when she left, Mrs. Liu and Jia Min were already able to be called sisters.

Mrs. Liu took Jia Min's hand and said: "I have no plans to travel for the time being, I will have to stay in the capital for a long time in the future, I fell in love with my sister, I want to visit my sister often, I don't know if my sister is too troublesome?" ”

Jia Min smiled: "I don't have anything to do in Beijing, my sister is coming, that's the best, just to be with me." ”

Mrs. Liu looked at Mother Jia again: "Then I will bother the old lady in the future." ”

Mother Jia smiled kindly: "Don't bother, everyone knows that my wife is the most lively, I can't wait for you juniors to bother me more." ”

Everyone laughed when he said this.

After Mrs. Liu left, everyone had eaten together, and then dispersed, and Jia's mother left her daughter alone to talk for a while.

After talking about Mrs. Liu, Jia Min took the opportunity to ask: "I followed my master to Yangzhou early, but I didn't know about this Miss Liu, there are many things I don't understand today, mother tell me quickly." ”

Jia Mu nodded Jia Min's nose like when she was a child, and scolded with a smile: "You little ghost spirit, I knew you were going to ask?" If you don't do anything, I'll leave you behind, no wonder you don't know this Miss Liu, although she is an old relative, but when she was a child, the Wen'an Hou Mansion had nothing to do with our family, and then when she had an accident, you left the capital early. ”

It turned out that, according to Jia's mother, the heirs of the Marquis of Wen'an were not prosperous, and the old Wen'anhou and his wife only had one son, and after the wife had a difficult birth, he never remarried.

This Wen Anhou, like his old son, is also a lover, and Mrs. Wen Anhou only got a son and a daughter, but when he went to the battlefield, Wen Anhou and his son died together, leaving only Mrs. Wen Anhou and her daughter.

Mrs. Wen Anhou has a weak temperament, and her husband is deeply in love, and her only son also went, since then her health has not been good, she is sick and sick lying in bed for a long time, and she has no heart to take her daughter out to socialize, so the relationship with the various provinces in Beijing will gradually fade, and she will entrust her daughter to her nephew, and soon after the two got married, she died.

"At that time, this Liu girl almost married her husband's family with the property of the entire Wen'an Hou Mansion, that is, Sun Shilang's mansion, ten miles of red makeup, which was even more exaggerated than when you got married."

But who would have thought that the two young couples were only good for a year, the title of the second son of Sun on the gold list, and soon after the champion of high school, the two of them were reconciled and separated, and there were faint rumors in the capital, saying that Miss Liu did not abide by the women's way, and the Sun family was kind, and she did not make trouble in the face of the deceased Mrs. Wen'anhou.

The rumor was suppressed and silenced not long after, and Miss Liu left the capital and disappeared without a trace. It's just that less than a year after that, the second son of Sun became a concubine and became the princess of Changle.

"When we are all fools, where is there such a coincidence, just reconciled and left the lord, if Miss Liu really does not abide by the woman's way, the Sun family will be so easy to speak, I am afraid I don't know when"

Mother Jia lowered her voice, "That second son of Sun and that secretly hooked up, my dynasty is different from the previous dynasty, the concubine can also be awarded a real position in the court, the favored princess and orphan daughter, the Sun family naturally knows how to choose." Now the second son of Sun is young, and he is already a waiter from the second grade. ”

After gossiping about this past to Jia Min, Jia's mother sighed and said: "This Miss Liu is also a poor person, and I have also seen the second son of Sun, a beautiful son, and a young champion, who knew that there was such a good thing inside, and I met the princess?" ”

said and was a little lucky, "Fortunately, Aunt Lin is a good one, and I haven't met a princess, but my Min'er is not Miss Liu, there is Rongguo Mansion behind her, what about the princess, there is no reason to rob other people's husbands!" ”

As soon as Jia Min sighed, she heard Jia's mother's words, and was a little crying and laughing by her mother's divergent thinking, but somehow, Jia Min always felt a little disobedient, no matter how she looked at it, the Mrs. Liu she knew really didn't look like it, it wasn't like such a pitiful thing, I'm afraid things are more than that.

So, what is the little pitiful little girl in Jia's mother's mouth doing at this time?

"Madame, those people are really excessive!" The little maid was angry, and when she came back, she had just heard an ear of gossip, and the words that came out of the mouths of the old people who knew the old things were not very good, so they were quite worthless to their own ladies.

Mrs. Liu was very calm, with a smile on her face: "You just fart when they fart, why bother whether the fart is fragrant or not?" ”

"Madam, don't be so vulgar, you are also Miss Hou Mansion now." ”

Half a sound, he looked at Mrs. Liu secretly, and the expression on his face changed, full of hesitation.

When she peeked at Mrs. Liu's face again, Mrs. Liu finally spoke: "If you have anything, just say it, you don't need to put on this expression." ”

He smiled weakly, and when he saw Mrs. Liu's expression as usual, he boldly asked, "Madam, you are so wise, martial, smart and clever, why did you marry that bastard in the first place?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and she regretted it a lot, thinking that she had poked Mrs. Liu's sad place, she was very sorry in her heart, she originally looked at Mrs. Liu's consistent attitude, and thought that she didn't care anymore, but she didn't expect it

Also, when a woman marries her husband, she hopes to be with her husband for the rest of her life and meet a lover, even if she is as free and easy as Mrs. Liu, it is about the same. I can't think that Mrs. really doesn't care because Mrs. has always been free and easy and accustomed to herself.

I was annoyed in my heart, and I was about to apologize, but I heard Mrs. Liu say: "My mother decided on my marriage without authorization at that time, and I was not happy, but I can't help it."

I couldn't help but ask, "What can I do?" ”

"It's a misconception!" Mrs. Liu regretted that her old problem was probably not cured, and she seemed to have recalled something, so she couldn't help but sigh, "Although my former prime minister's character is not very good, but that temperament and beauty are really the best in the world." ”

：“”

Talking to Mrs. Liu over there, after Jia Min chatted with Jia's mother, when she went back, she told Lin Xuanyu about Mrs. Liu, Lin Xuanyu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it, she didn't expect Aunt Liu to have such a past.

Jia Min said: "In the future, we will have frequent contact with your Aunt Liu, and if your Aunt Liu doesn't talk about this matter, you don't have to mention it again." ”

Lin Xuanyu nodded: "Don't worry, my son will save it." ”

The return of Mrs. Liu was only a small splash in the capital, except for a few related figures who were quite concerned, and soon fell silent without causing any fluctuations.

Now in the capital, on the cusp of the storm is the retrial of Prince Yizhong's case, the emperor often goes to the court to listen these days, and a group of old ministers thought that they were going to set off a bloody storm again.

Unexpectedly, although the emperor was concerned about this matter, ordered the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be tried, and recalled many families who had been exiled because of the case of Prince Yizhong, but there was no major action in the court for the time being.

But at this time, in the harem, the emperor sealed several concubines, and then investigated their identities carefully, they were all girls from the family of the emperor's old ministers.

The original female history of the Queen's Palace, Jia Yuanchun Jia Nushi, who was born in the second room of Rongguo Mansion, is among the ranks of this promotion, and was directly sealed as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and was crowned as a virtuous concubine. actually jumped over a group of low-ranking concubines, flew up to the branches, and became the second only concubine in the palace to the queen.

The Jia Mansion outside the palace suddenly ushered in the eunuch decree, knowing that Jia Yuanchun had become a concubine, most of the people in the second mansion of Rongning were very excited, especially the second room, and when they came back from the palace, Mrs. Wang walked with a gust of wind, only to feel quite raised eyebrows, the Bodhisattva who originally lowered his eyebrows and was kind now held his head high, although he tried his best to hide it, it was still difficult to hide the pride between his eyebrows.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Jia Min: "If there is anything to happen to my niece in the future, my sister just needs to find Niangniang, Niangniang and niece are relatives related by blood, and they will take good care of it." ”

Seeing Mrs. Wang's arrogant appearance, Jia Min felt sorry in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law like this, if anything happens to my Daiyu, she will definitely trouble Niangniang, I just hope that Niangniang will not shirk it when the time comes." ”

When Mother Jia heard this, she also said: "Yes, Min'er rest assured, the mother and mother have said so in person, the mother is filial, and she will take good care of Daiyu." ”

Although Mother Jia was happy for Yuan Chun, she was always a little embarrassed when she thought about the shape in the court now, and when she saw Mrs. Wang so arrogant, she couldn't help but stab a few words.

Mrs. Wang was caught up by their mother and daughter's words, and choked for a while, and she hesitated a little in her heart, did she talk too much, what if the Lin girl in the palace stuck to her Yuanchun?

And outside, Jia Zhen also complimented Jia Zheng again and again, saying that he will be the grandfather of the country in the future, and he should take care of him more, Jia Zheng touched his beard and said modestly: "Where is the father-in-law, don't talk nonsense, I just hope that the nobles can remember Jun'en in the future and repay Rong'en." ”

Jia Zhen heard what he said, and saw him acting again, and secretly scolded him in his heart, but at this time, Jia Yuanchun sealed the concubine, and in the future, Ning Guofu may also rely on this concubine, so he didn't show it on his face, and still talked nonsense like he didn't want money.

Except for Jia Baoyu, who was worried about his sister, and Jia Huan, who knew that this was the beginning of the decline of Jiafu, the second room was full of spring breeze, but everyone in the big room next door had mixed tastes at this time.

Originally, if Jia Lian didn't know the old things, and he didn't know what Jia Zheng did secretly, he was probably overjoyed, and after the deep end, Rongguo Mansion had a mother as a backer, but now he knows.

What's more, because of the return of the emperor and grandson, his foreign family is also on the list of returning to Beijing this time, and he and his father have specially gone to do something for this, but now Jia Yuanchun has made a concubine, so what should happen after Jiafu?

Jia Lian secretly glanced at Jia Yu's face, but saw that Jia Yu was also looking at him, looking inexplicable, and seeing that Jia Zheng was still surrounded by several people from Ning Guofu, Jia Yu snorted coldly and simply shook his hand and left.

Jia Yu's sudden departure made the scene embarrassing for a while, Jia Zheng was not very good-looking, and sighed: "Alas, my brother, ashamed and ashamed"

Jia Lian hurriedly played a round game, wiped his ass for his untimely Lao Tzu, apologized to Jia Zheng and complimented him a few words, and under the pretext of persuading his father, he followed Jia Yu away.

As for Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's thinking is very simple, she is a profit-oriented person, she heard Jia Lian say those things, and she was also angry, but now she feels that no matter what the second room does behind her back, the second room has taken refuge in the emperor, and Jia Yuanchun has become a concubine.

Don't say anything to watch from the wall, withdraw cautiously, take advantage of the emperor's ability to use them, stand in line, and only then can you go further in the future, and Rongguofu can also take this hitchhike and go straight up.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng has to respect this hot mother, as for the future, Wang Xifeng's eyes narrowed, and he always had to see which benefit was greater.

In the big room, it was Mrs. Xing who was most sincerely happy about this, and she only felt that the plaque of Rongguo Mansion would be brighter in the future, and then looked at Yingchun's young and beautiful face, and couldn't help but have some thoughts in her heart.

Everyone in the Jia Mansion outside the palace had different thoughts, but Jia Yuanchun in the palace was not as happy as everyone thought.

She is very happy to be crowned as a concubine once, after all, she has been in the palace for several years, and now she is almost twenty, and she really can't afford it, but the emperor has been promoted without warning, and she is still such a nondescript title as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, which really makes her feel a little uneasy in her heart, and she always feels unsteady.

And the master that Jia Yuanchun originally served, the queen's palace, was filled with a low pressure.

Although the queen also knew that the emperor's promotion was unusual, no matter what the reason, there were suddenly several more concubines in the palace, and it was a fact that the high-ranking concubines were not a happy thing for the queen who wanted to control the harem in her hands.

Not only the queen, but the rest of the concubines in the palace who were not promoted were also unpleasant, and the only concubine in the palace, Lan Guifei, was Yousheng, since the will was issued, the consumption of porcelain in the palace suddenly doubled several times.

Facing the queen mother with a cold expression, everyone in Jingren Palace did not dare to gnaw, and it was not until the arrival of the queen mother's little padded jacket - Princess Anrou that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, smiled and took Princess An Rou's hand, and cared for her, and after An Rou had eaten at the queen's place, and took a nap for a while, the queen let An Rou leave and went to the afternoon class.

It's just that today Daiyu found that Princess Anrou seemed to have something in her heart, although she was gentle and kind as always, but from time to time she would come out for a while, frowning slightly, and seemed to have thousands of sorrows.

Daiyu is sometimes sluggish, sometimes extremely keen, Princess Anrou's mind seems to have been since she came out of Jingren Palace, but because the next thing is to go to school, and surrounded by palace people, Daiyu held her questions all the way with difficulty, until the group passed by the Imperial Garden, and was thinking about finding an opportunity to ask, but heard Princess An Rou say softly: "You go down first, I want to go alone." ”

At this time, Mama Lin was not there, and it was Lin Daiyu who had the highest rank next to An Rou, Lin Daiyu looked at An Rou and was a little uneasy: "Why don't you let the lower official accompany the princess?" If the princess is alone, the lower officials are really not at ease. ”

Princess An Rou looked at Daiyu, saw the concern in Daiyu's eyes, her heart warmed, and seeing her insistence, Princess An Rou, who has never been good at refusing, pursed her lips and nodded.

Daiyu took the shawl from a palace maid, Baochai saw that Princess Anrou did not want to be accompanied by many people, and instructed Daiyu a few words, and after telling not to go far, Daiyu and Anrou walked forward together, and Baochai and the others waited in place.

The strange flowers and plants in the royal garden compete for beauty, the rockery and strange stones are elegant, surrounded by green water, and the birds are singing, but Princess Anrou has no time to watch, only walking silently all the way, Daiyu followed behind, seeing that Anrou was a little tired, pointing to the pavilion among the flowers on the side, "Why don't you go there and sit for a while?" ”

An Rou was also a little tired, so she didn't object, and was pulled by Daiyu to the pavilion, and sat on the stone bench to rest her feet for the time being.

Daiyu sat next to An Rou, and seeing that An Rou still didn't speak, she asked, "But what happened?" His Highness seemed to have something on his mind. ”

An Rou listened to her inquiry, and when she thought of the situation of the queen mother, her heart was sour, and she actually shed tears.

Seeing An Rou crying, Daiyu couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief from her hand, wiped An Rou's tears, and gently patted An Rou's back as Jia Min had done, and coaxed: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay." ”

An Rou grew up in the palace, although she has brothers and sisters, she was not born to the same mother, and she was affectionate on the surface, but in fact she had her own thoughts. Although Mama Lin and the queen mother take care of her very much, they are different from sisters of the same age.

Although An Rou is timid and shy, she is the most sensitive to people's good and evil feelings, she can feel that Daiyu likes her very much, her mind is pure, and she has kindness from the beginning, which is why she will intercede for Daiyu, just as Daiyu likes An Rou, An Rou also likes Daiyu, the new sister, and feels very reliable.

Feeling Daiyu patting her back gently, her gentle feelings gradually stabilized, and she stopped crying, Xu is environment was too relaxed, Xu was impulsive, and couldn't help but say: "Sister Lin, why do you say that my father wants so many women?" ”

Daiyu didn't expect An Rou to be worried about this, so she couldn't help but be stunned, thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Because, he is the emperor?" ”

An Rou lay on the stone table sullenly: "Can't you only be with my mother?" ”

Although Lin Ruhai had concubines in the past, after his brother and sister Lin Daiyu and Lin Xuanyu were born, they sent away several concubines, and since then they have lived wholeheartedly with Jia Min, so Daiyu really can't understand An Rou's feelings, but a little substitution, if Lin Ruhai has other concubines, if those concubines also give birth to children called Lin Ruhai's father, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but shudder, and immediately empathized with Princess An Rou, it was really not a human life.

An Rou said again: "I also know that it is impossible, that is, I feel sorry for my mother, sometimes I feel that this is really not interesting, if my father is not the emperor" She herself overturned her assumption halfway, "Forget it, whether my father is the emperor or not, he must have many women." ”

Sighing, An Rou thought of herself again: "Am I going to do the same in the future?" ”

Daiyu shook her head again and again: "No, the emperor is older than the queen, so the queen listens to the emperor, Her Royal Highness is a princess, bigger than the horse, and the horse will naturally listen to His Royal Highness in the future." "It's very categorical.

But An Rou shook her head: "But Sister Anping is also a princess, so she gave her two concubines." ”

Daiyu: ""

Daiyu was speechless for a while, and comforted: "Then Your Highness will not give the concubine to the concubine, if the concubine wants to accept" Daiyu thought for a while and promised, "And the queen mother, she will not ignore His Highness, I will also protect His Highness, and never let the concubine bully you." ”

It was also An Rou who was ignorant, seemed to understand and seemed to be confused, so she opened her mouth, and met Daiyu who had no scruples, and the two little girls who were less than ten years old talked about lifelong events seriously.

Hearing Daiyu's words, An Rou couldn't help but smile and said, "The queen mother treats me the best, but how can Sister Lin protect me?" ”

Daiyu patted her chest: "I'm amazing." ”

An Rou couldn't help but think of Daiyu's talent show when she was re-elected, although An Rou did not show up at that time, she secretly hid behind the palace to watch, thinking about Daiyu's skills at that time, she was envious: "I know, I peeked at Sister Lin's re-election, my sister is really majestic, if only I could be like that." ”

An Rou herself is delicate and frail, but she is most envious of those vigorous characters, and the dramas she loves to watch since she was a child are not the elegant and beautiful "Peony Pavilion" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", but "Sun Xingzhi Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Jiang Ziya Beheads the Gods" and so on.

Seeing that she was interested, Daiyu couldn't help but think of a few of her students in Jiafu, ah yes, and the big apprentices in the palace, but unfortunately these people are afraid that they can't teach them personally, looking at the delicate Princess Anrou in front of her, her heart suddenly itched: "Or, if Your Highness wants to learn, why don't you follow me to learn?" ”

An Rou's eyes lit up, and she quickly lost her lustre: "They won't allow me to learn." ”

Daiyu blinked: "Then we will practice secretly in Changle Palace, and everyone will be surprised when the time comes." ”

An Rou also blinked: "Is it okay?" ”

Daiyu's voice was gentle: "Of course you can." ”

An Rou hesitated a little: "That's it, isn't it?" "The good boy An Rou secretly did things behind the adult's back for the first time, and she was a little cautious.

Daiyu patted An Rou on the shoulder: "This is not a bad thing, not to mention that it is good for the body, if you practice martial arts, you will not be so weak in the future, if the horse dares to bully you in the future, we will beat him together until it is good, no problem." ”

An Rou: ""

An Rou hesitated for a while, but after all, she couldn't resist the eagerness to try, nodded, and the two little girls looked at each other and laughed like stealing cats.
