"Good boy, why are you here?" The two came out of the small Buddha hall, and the concubine asked.

Meibian said, "My mother asked me to follow her to learn housekeeping, and I just came out of Chengqing Garden, so I wanted to come and see my grandmother." ”

"You've got a heart." The concubine said, "I remember that you were very familiar with the scriptures in the past, and you copied the scriptures quickly and well. It's just that you're young and have a lot to do, so you don't have to put your spirit here like I did. It's better to take care of the prince and your mother-in-law. ”

If this consolation is not from the heart, I am afraid it will not be said. Meibian's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he said in a low voice, "Grandmother actually has a lot to do, why bother reciting scriptures every day?" ”

"What can I do?" The concubine said, "I'm old, I can't stand the excitement of your young people." I live alone, and it's good to be quiet and quiet. ”

"When my grandmother said that, I was going to be sad. I originally thought that you are so powerful, what problems will you encounter in the future, if it is not easy to ask the princess, I will come here to ask you. If you say that, I won't dare to come. He walked over to her and squatted down beside her lap, then reached out and hugged her knee, put his head on it, and said coquettishly.

"That's stupid." The concubine smiled very gently, "I have never been a housekeeper, and I have never been in charge of things, it is useless for you to ask me about such a thing, it is only serious to ask your mother-in-law to mention you more." ”

"I don't believe it, grandmother, you have such a powerful son as your father, and you have chosen such a good daughter-in-law, it must be very powerful. At least you can't be wrong with a human eye. Ay...... I knew that my grandmother was reluctant to teach because of my limited qualifications. Then you don't have to coax me with those words. He sighed.

When the concubine heard the previous sentence first, her expression was still a little gloomy-although her son was born to her, she was not raised. Although the daughter-in-law also nodded her head, she was not the one who could be picked. Nothing in her life has been her own decision--when she hears the back, her eyebrows are crooked, and the gloom that she has just given birth disappears completely, which is really laughable.

"You are so good at pestering people, no matter how powerful your mother-in-law is, she can't stand it. It's better for you to please her and let her teach you all the skills. The concubine teased her.

Meibian disagreed, "I naturally want to go to my mother's place, but my grandmother can't let it go either." ”

The concubine finally laughed.

It's not the kind of smile that always hangs on the face, but from the heart, laughing.

"You girl, why didn't you see you like this before?" She asked with a smile.

He said, "At that time, she was not your granddaughter-in-law, so it was not easy to expose, lest you look down on me." Now even if you don't like it, you can't drive me away! ”

The concubine raised her hand and nodded at her, but she couldn't stop laughing and couldn't speak.

She's probably never been so happy in her life.

The eyebrows rested on her lap and looked up at her. She actually gets along very little with her elders, and she doesn't know exactly how to be coquettish. But I've seen too much in the past, and while I envy it, I can't help but remember some. Generally speaking, it is to treat yourself as a scoundrel child and stalk him.

Now it seems that it worked well.

The concubine laughed for a while before slowly stopping. It's just that his face and eyes are still soft, and the movement of stroking the hair next to his eyebrows is much gentler, "You are a good boy, come and talk to me when you have time in the future." It's just that I really don't have much to teach you. ”

"If Grandmother doesn't want to go, give me someone close to you! The people around you all came out of the palace with you, they must be very powerful, I will study with you, and I will not be stunned when I enter the palace in the future. He thought about it, raised his head and said to the concubine.

Mama Xu, who was standing in the room and waiting, heard this and immediately looked up at the concubine. If ordinary people opened this mouth, I'm afraid the concubine would have been annoyed. She just brought out a few people from the palace, and she didn't want another person from the palace all these years, but there were still people who calculated her people here, so it didn't seem like it.

But when the princess said this, the princess seemed very happy, and there was still a smile on her face. It was a smile she hadn't seen before, and Mama Xu couldn't help but lower her head again.

She heard the concubine say, "I know that you monkey has other plans, anyway, which one do you have a crush on?" ”

"It's Mr. Sun." With a smile on his eyebrows, "I'm afraid my grandmother won't be willing to give it to me." ”

"There are only two of Sun Jing and Mama Xu around me, and you are going to leave one?" The concubine asked. The tone was really not angry.

"It's because I know that there are only two around my grandmother who can be used, so I only need one." You are definitely not used to the absence of Mama Xu's service by your side. I had no choice but to ask Mr. Sun to take care of it. ”

"In that case, if I don't agree, it won't seem to hurt you." The concubine said, "You go and talk to Sun Jing yourself, if you can move him, I will give it to you." ”

"Don't go back on that grandmother." Although there is still a test, her eyebrows are as if she is already hers, and she is very proud. Then he couldn't wait to go out with his skirt to find Sun Jing.

Mama Xu took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you really want to give her Mr. Sun?" ”

This Chief Sun looked inconspicuous in the Fuwang Mansion, and now he doesn't even care about the affairs of Shoushan Hall. But it was a person who came out of Taiji Palace at the beginning. Serving Emperor Sejong is also very knowledgeable. Later, if he hadn't been suppressed, he wouldn't have followed his master by coincidence. If it weren't for his help, the concubine's days in the palace would probably have to be tribulated.

The concubine looked up at the window, and said in a light tone, "Staying with me is really wronged by him." Just let him go. ”

"The ...... of the princess"

"After all, it's my granddaughter-in-law, and it's very rare to have this thought, whether it's true or not." The concubine said, "You don't have to say it again, I have made up my mind." ”

What kind of character is the concubine, the little calculation on her eyebrows is all in her eyes.

But she has lived in Fuwangfu Mansion for so many years, and she has been living in this deserted and unpopular Shoushan Hall, which is really lonely.

There can be this kind of thought on the side of the eyebrows, unlike other people in the palace, who tremble cautiously when they mention Shoushantang, and the concubine also wants to see what she can do.

Mama Xu knew what the concubine meant, so she kept silent and retreated.

The person who gave the concubine the idea to make an alliance with the Queen Mother and send her son to the Queen Mother's knees was Sun Jing. As it turned out, he made the right choice. However, after all, it was also this idea, so that the concubine did not take care of her son for a day, even if she lives in the palace now, she is still so alienated from the younger generations. If the concubine has no trace of mustard in her heart, it must be false. However, this love is really to be inherited.

Sun Jing used to be the chief manager, but after coming to the palace, he has been idle, and I am afraid that he will not be able to sit still for a long time. However, the people around the princess were very complete back then, and when the princess moved in, she had already held the palace firmly in the palm of her hand, so it was naturally difficult to place her own people in the past. Otherwise, if the princess thinks that this mother-in-law wants to seize her power, she will be too wronged.

Now that the princess took the initiative to propose it, and the concubine also agreed, it seems that Mama Xu has almost decided this matter.

It is said that the princess is lucky, otherwise why would so many things just happen to let her catch up with the best time? What others can't think of, she can do it in three or two sentences.

The princess once praised her for being blessed, and now it seems that there is some truth in it, not just to promote her.

It was similar to what Mama Xu expected, and after a while, she came back with a smile on her eyebrows, "Manager Sun has already agreed." Thank you grandmother. ”

"Thank me for what?" The concubine said, "If you have your own ability, he is willing to follow you." In my case, it's buried. ”

"Then grandmother, I'll go back first!" I didn't sit down on my eyebrows, and I said two words and left.

Mama Xu's face changed slightly, how could the princess be such a short-sighted person, and she found what she wanted, and she didn't even perfunctory?

However, when she looked at the concubine's face again, she was still as usual, sitting there and drinking tea quietly.

After a cup of tea, Mama Xu heard the noise outside, and when she went out, she saw that it was the princess who brought people, and she didn't know what she had moved, and it was noisy.

When the things were brought in, she found that it was a large screen, almost the size of a whole wall, and the embroidery was exquisite, and the bottom was still made of yellow sandalwood, which was beautiful and atmospheric. The eyebrows were moved directly into the house, and they were placed opposite the couch where the concubine was sitting.

After setting it up, she stepped back and looked at it a few times before she turned her head sideways and asked, "Grandmother, can you see how it is to be placed like this?" ”

"I heard that there is such a thing in your dowry, and when you dry your dowry, everyone in the capital is amazed. How did it get to me? The concubine asked with a smile.

He said, "Your beloved things have been given to me, and I will naturally exchange them for my beloved things." This screen is painted with a famous garden near the capital, a total of more than 10, for the grandmother to enjoy the play, if you look at which one you like, I will let the son of the world go to discuss with someone to borrow, let's also go to enjoy a day? By the way, two of them belong to our family, so they don't have to be borrowed. ”

"Our garden?" The concubine was not impressed.

Covering his eyebrows and snickering, "One is made up by Zifang himself, and it is his private property." The other is Yingyue's dowry, and when she passes the door, isn't it our family? Speaking of which, this screen was given to me by Yingyue, and now it should be regarded as the two of us honoring our grandmother. ”

Mama Xu was amazed at this time. This princess is much smarter than she thought. I can't see it just now, this hand is really indescribable. Together with the concubines who haven't passed the door yet, they are all flattered together.

No wonder the master values it.

After talking to the concubine for a while, he really said goodbye and left. However, that day, the concubine did not go to the small Buddha hall to do evening classes when the time came, but kept sitting on the couch and looked carefully at the screen opposite.

There was such a big commotion on the side of the eyebrows, and the entire palace was spread. First, the princess called her to question, and when Yuan Ziqing came back, she asked again.

Knowing that she used the screen to exchange someone from the concubine, Yuan Ziqing couldn't help laughing, "Only you can get these things." It's a shame that your grandmother likes you and doesn't get angry. ”

"You know what?" "Grandmother is old, isn't it boring to live alone?" Otherwise, how could she worship the Buddha every day? At least pass the time. In the future, I often went over to accompany her, and then led her out to see the scenery of the landscape, and then got a few lively little girls to serve in the Shoushan Hall. At that time, the concubine will definitely not be in a hurry to worship any Buddha. ”

Yuan Ziqing was thoughtful when he heard this, "Hearing you say this, it seems that there is indeed some truth. In the past, we were only afraid that the concubine would be displeased, and we were blindly cautious, but now it seems that we are afraid that we have lost the way of getting along with the family. ”

"That's it, the son of the world really understands it at all." He smiled and praised him.

Yuan Ziqing pinched her nose, "You want to say that I am a fan of the authorities, such a simple thing, I still need you to remind you to see it, right?" ”

He sat down beside him, "But it doesn't hurt to make you proud for a while." After all, it's your credit. It's just that you don't know what kind of life we had when we were in the palace, so you weren't as cautious as we were. It's a mistake for you. ”

"Speaking of the sky, this is also the first thing I thought of, right? How can the prince thank me? He asked proudly.

Yuan Ziqing smiled, "Then what do you want?" ”

He nodded his chin and said, "Yes, it's better to tell my mother tomorrow and let her add two lively girls to Shoushan Hall." ”

"You asked for someone from Shoushantang, why don't you go and tell your mother yourself?"

"Don't mention it, my mother reprimanded me today, saying that it was disrespectful to my elders, and I should never do this in the future. If I mention it again, she'll be angry again. He said with a bitter face.

The problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very complicated, if the other people in the Fu Wangfu Mansion are because they are afraid of the concubine's mood, then Princess Fu really doesn't want any big changes. Otherwise, if the concubine is unhappy, it will be her daughter-in-law's fault. Even if she does what she does at the eyebrows, it will become that she has not taught her juniors well.

Both Meibian and Yuan Ziqing knew this, so Meibian pushed him out and scolded her son, Princess Fu at most. What he said could still be heard, but it wasn't necessarily the case when it came to eyebrows.

So Yuan Ziqing didn't hesitate much, and quickly agreed.

On the second day, Meibian deliberately followed Yuan Ziqing to Chengqing Garden, King Fu and the princess were there, and they happened to say it in front of them. Obviously, the two elders also discussed it last night, so Yuan Ziqing opened his mouth, and King Fu agreed. The expected rebuke did not materialize.

After King Fu and Yuan Ziqing left, Princess Fu looked at her eyebrows and said, "Look at you, I am scared, could it be that I, as a mother-in-law, will eat you?" ”

I had to pretend to be stupid. Princess Fu didn't say much, and continued to teach her while dealing with family affairs. The morning passed, and Meibian benefited a lot. came out of Chengqing Garden, and ran to Shoushan Hall to eat.

This became the rule. She went to Chengqing Garden in the morning, was in Shoushan Hall in the afternoon, and happened to go home with Yuan Ziqing in the evening, so she didn't waste time at all.

When the concubine was alone, she was often a vegetarian, but after Meibian also ate here, it was not good for young people to follow her vegetarian diet - the concubine also pointed to her great-grandson and crawled out of Meibian's stomach, and eating too much vegetarian food was naturally no good.

Gradually, the dietary structure of Shoushantang has also undergone some changes. Except for going to the small Buddha hall in the morning to do a morning class, the concubine now hardly sees any signs of worshipping the Buddha in the Shoushan Hall at other times. The two new little girls chattered and couldn't be idle all day long, which caused everyone else to seem to be much more lively.

In addition, after Meibian went to Shoushan Hall every day, other people inevitably had to go to say hello sooner or later, and the place became more and more lively, and the smile on the concubine's face became more and more day by day.

In fact, what else does a person of her age want? It's just children and grandchildren around their knees. Now that even this idea has come true, I am naturally satisfied, and my complexion has changed a lot. When she entered the palace this month, the queen mother was very surprised by her changes, and when she heard that it was the credit of her granddaughter-in-law, she couldn't help but complain of bitterness.

The Queen Mother naturally also has grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law.

However, things in the palace are much more complicated than outside, and everyone naturally can't get along with the Queen Mother like ordinary people. It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't know their thoughts, so she hasn't forced it.

It's just that a side room of the prince gave birth to a son before, and he is the first child in this generation, although it is not from the crown princess, but the queen mother is still very happy and wants to take the child to herself to raise for a while.

But the crown princess didn't know how to get the news, so she ran to the queen and cried. This incident started, the queen mother's face was not good-looking, the child was not held, but the princess had no good face since then.

"It's like coming to my Shou'an Palace, and the child is going to be killed!" The queen mother complained to the concubine, "I told the emperor, if that child has any three longs and two shorts, just take my life!" ”

The concubine was amazed.

actually said such a thing, it can be seen that the queen mother really can't bear the crown princess for a day.

Although the emperor is not a filial son, he still has a lot of feelings for the queen mother. Besides, this time it was indeed the crown princess who passed it. In ordinary people, the elders have to raise their children on their behalf, which is an honor that can't be asked for. This is even more true in the palace, the child brought up by the Queen Mother herself, can she still be wrong?

The partial crown princess is short-sighted, not only refused, but also used this way. As long as she made the scene better, it wouldn't come to this point.

Now I am afraid that the emperor has doubts about the crown prince and the crown princess. If you can't handle a small thing, can you still expect him to manage the country's major affairs? - Although the matter was done by the crown princess, the crown prince did not repair the inner curtain, so naturally he also suffered it.

The concubine persuaded the Queen Mother a few words, while thinking about the impact of this incident and the position of the Fuwang Mansion in it.

This woman is not conspicuous, but Fuwangfu can be firmly valued by the emperor and not be feared, but she has contributed most of her strength in it. It's just that this kind of thing can't be seen by outsiders.

Yuan Ziqing said to Meibian that the Fu Wangfu cannot be inclined to the prince's affairs. But Meibian later confirmed that they were actually tendentious, but they couldn't show it on the surface.

And now that the crown prince has lost the emperor's heart, it is an excellent opportunity.

Mei Pan naturally didn't know about these things that happened in the palace now, and she was talking to Sun Jing.

"Mr. Sun, please take a seat." politely invited him to sit down, and let people serve tea, and then said on his eyebrows, "Mr. Sun has been here for nearly a month, what do you think of here?" ”

"Does the princess want to hear good words or the truth?"

"Isn't it good to tell the truth?" Eyebrows asked.

Sun Jing said unceremoniously, "Of course, the truth may also be a good thing, but here is the princess, I'm afraid it's not." ”

"Then tell me the truth." He said, "If I want to listen to good words, I don't need to invite you over." ”

Sun Jing came here, she didn't say a word and dried people for a month, Sun Jing was a little arrogant, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy. There will be a chance here, of course, you will not be welcome.

So he completely degraded the entire Hidden Bamboo Garden from top to bottom. During this period, Xingyun was about to jump out and argue with him several times, but was stopped by his eyebrows.

"It's not good, but it's the truth." After Sun Jing finished speaking, he said, "If I want to ask Manager Sun to manage the Hidden Bamboo Garden for me, will you dislike this place for being too small?" ”

Meibian actually knew very well in his heart that the people in the Hidden Bamboo Garden were each part of her and Yuan Ziqing, and then the garden was expanded, and Princess Fu transferred another part. At present, these three groups of people are actually working independently, and there is no center at all. She and Yuan Ziqing are not good at managing these people, and there are no such talents around them. This time, Sun Jing wants to come over, and she is determined to rectify it.

Zhou Yingyue said a sentence in the past that is very reasonable: if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?

It's the same with the other way around. She can't even manage her own garden, how can she take care of the affairs of the Fu Wangfu? But in major matters, you can take ideas, and someone must be responsible for these specific affairs. But there are no suitable people around her and Yuan Ziqing. - Xingyun is not good at managing the people on Yuan Ziqing's side, and the people on Yuan Ziqing's side are not good at managing her people.

Now Sun Jing's identity is just right.

"The princess is serious." Sun Jing immediately said, "The master has orders, let's be slaves, just do things." ”

After thinking about it, he felt that he should still give him some hope, so he said, "I am now learning housekeeping with my mother, and I can't take care of the things in the garden for a while." I don't care what you do, as long as it turns out. ”

One is to give him power, and the other is to let him know that the princess will be a housekeeper in the future. Now in charge of the Hidden Bamboo Garden, it may not be in charge for the rest of his life.

Sun Jing weighed it for himself and said, "I only need a month." ”
