The newly bought house in the capital is in Yangliu Hutong, with three in and three out. There are fifty-two rooms in total.

It is said that Mu Xuan bought this place for five hundred taels of silver.

These four hundred taels are not counted, and in the following days, people have rebuilt a few places, planted flowers and plants, newly painted the walls, and then built a few pieces of furniture, which is a total of six or seven hundred expenses.

Rong Zheng took the people in her room to live in a new house in the capital, which was very empty because of the small population.

Just a few days after staying, Rong Zheng discussed with Bai's mother: "After getting ready, I will go to the scissors alley, let people prepare a congratulatory gift, prepare the car, and I will take Sister Yuan to visit." ”

Rong Zheng has just arrived in the capital, and he has to visit his uncle's house. As for the affairs in the palace, it is better to wait for Mu Xuan to come back and then go with him.

Mother Bai promised and ordered someone to do it.

has changed the place, Sister Yuan is not used to it, and she always has to cry a few times to sleep well these nights. Rong Zheng was also distressed when he looked at it, and said to the nurse: "I have to work hard for you this time." Hopefully she'll get better in a while. ”

The nurse said, "Don't worry, grandma, the eldest lady will get used to it soon." ”

"I wish she did."

"Grandma, there's a post for you to see." Pingkang walked outside the curtain to report.

Rong Zheng hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What post?" ”

"Grandma will know when she sees it."

Yutang took the post and held it to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng glanced at the apricot-yellow flower paper, and when he opened it again, Juanxiu's handwriting was displayed in front of him. After reading through, it turned out that the crown princess sent her and invited her to Chengqian Palace as a guest.

She has been in the capital for a few days, and she hasn't moved around yet, how can the princess know that she has come to Beijing, and the news is quite well-informed.

"I'm afraid I can't do it if I want to be idle for a few days now. Let's prepare to prepare, and when I come back from the palace, I will prepare to go to Scissors Alley. ”

The crown princess personally invited her, which is indeed a big deal. Rong Zheng attached great importance to it, and ordered someone to hand over the sign of the audience, and agreed to enter the palace tomorrow.

She called Sister Yuan over and instructed carefully: "The palace is not as good as being at home, don't cry casually." When the time comes, you can call your mother whatever you want, and you have to be obedient, you know? ”

Rong Zheng thought that when he entered the palace, he always had to meet his eldest sister, but he hadn't seen Rong Yun for more than three years, and he didn't know how she was doing.

After lunch the next day, Rong Zheng took his daughter in the car that had been prepared long ago and went all the way to the palace.

The last time she entered the palace was not long after she was newly married, and Mu Xuan brought her here. In the blink of an eye, the daughters in her arms were so old. There was a delay of an hour and a half on the road from Yangliu Hutong to the Imperial Palace, and when the car stopped, someone opened the curtain for her. The nurse came up and picked her up for Sister Yuan. Rong Zheng stepped on a stool and got out of the car. Soon, an attendant came up and asked: "May I ask if it is the grandmother Xuan of the Yuwang Mansion?" ”

Adding the previous title was really a bit embarrassing, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I'm here to visit the crown princess." Ask your father-in-law to lead the way. ”

The chamberlain bowed and said, "Please come with the slave." ”

Although it was not the first time to come, the nine-fold palace with red walls and yellow tiles still made Rong Zheng lose his way.

She followed the chamberlain through the palace gates until she entered a courtyard full of exotic flowers and plants.

A palace maid immediately gave Rong Zheng a gift, and then opened the black lacquered bamboo curtain for her and invited her in.

Rong Zheng pulled Sister Yuan with one hand and stepped into the threshold. The threshold is a little high, Sister Yuan'er has short calves and wore a bulky dress when she went out today, and when she stepped in, she stepped on the skirt, if it wasn't for Rong Zheng pulling her, she would definitely have a heel.

Sister Yuan immediately opened her mouth and cried, Rong Zheng hugged her daughter up, and wiped the tears on her face with some annoyance.

The female official next to the crown princess greeted her, and said with a smiling face: "Grandma Xuan, please go here!" ”

Rong Zheng apologetically hugged Sister Yuan and followed the female official to the princess's house. This female official Rong Zheng still remembers that the person called "Aunt Dong" is a second-grade female official next to the crown princess, who is responsible for helping the princess to usher in a very decent aunt.

Rong Zheng said hello to Aunt Dong, who was very kind and took the initiative to talk to Rong Zheng.

"Niangniang knew that Grandma Xuan had come to Beijing, and immediately said that she would invite you to come in and sit down. This is the eldest lady, she was born so cute. ”

The two talked and laughed all the way, and came to the palace of the crown princess. Aunt Dong said through the curtain: "Niangniang, Grandma Xuan is here." ”

"Invite her in."

Aunt Dong took the initiative to open the bead curtain for Rong Zheng, and Rong Zheng thanked Aunt Dong and bowed into the house with her daughter.

The crown princess was wearing a stone-blue tuanhua silk swallow suit, wearing a red gold crown, and was sitting on the treasure couch. On the couch, there was also a child about the same age as Sister Yuan, with an apricot-yellow satin robe and a small mustache. Looks like a girl.

Rong Zheng put his daughter down and hurriedly gave a big gift to the crown princess. Before I came, I taught Sister Yuan, and when Sister Yuan saw her mother kneeling down and kowtowing, she also knelt down, and she wanted to learn to kowtow, but she didn't know the severity, so she heard a bang and knocked on the ground. If it weren't for the carpet, I was afraid that Sister Yuan'er's forehead would immediately have a small bag.

Sure enough, Sister Yuan started crying, crying and shouting: "Mother, it hurts!" ”

Rong Zheng was very embarrassed.

Seeing this, the crown princess smiled and said, "Get up quickly." Don't be polite. ”

Rong Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, took his daughter in his arms and looked at her forehead carefully, the same as the surrounding skin, and didn't see the difference. Motioned to the nurse to lead Sister Yuan.

"It's really rude, Sister Yuan, she is still young, and she doesn't understand much after teaching her." Rong Zheng was apologetic.

The crown princess smiled kindly: "What's the matter, children are not like this." Your daughter is so beautiful. As he spoke, there was a look of envy in his eyes, and he beckoned to Sister Yuan and motioned for her to come over.

Sister Yuan glanced at her mother, and Rong Zheng nodded to her. Sister Yuan had the courage to walk towards the crown princess. The crown princess opened her arms and hugged Sister Yuan. The little child in front of her couldn't stop looking at her when she saw Sister Yuan. Later, when I saw the crown princess and Sister Yuan laughing, and teasing Sister Yuan with things, she ignored herself, and she opened her mouth to cry.

The crown princess was also a little helpless, so she had to go to appease the other one.

"How old is your sister, how many months did she give birth?"

Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "On the birthday of February 27, I am a little more than two years old. ”

The crown princess pulled one in one hand and said with a smile: "Then our brother Rui'er will be a month older." It doesn't look like much. ”

It turned out to be a boy, Rong Zheng was sweating all over his head, and he thought he was a golden county lord.

"I have raised a total of three children, all of them are boys, and the other side concubines and concubines also raise sons, and our prince has a total of six sons, and he has not given birth to a daughter. I really like to see your sister. ”

The crown princess took out the box that had been prepared a long time ago, which was a gift from her sister.

Sister Yuan was already bold, and she became familiar with it after a while. However, the child was not very easy to talk in front of him, so the princess asked the palace maid and the nurse to take Brother Rui and Sister Yuan down together, and told Haosheng to watch and not to have anything happen.

There were no children in the house, and it immediately became very quiet.

The crown princess leaned back, her expression very gentle.

"Two years ago, I heard that you were going to buy a house in Beijing, why did it take more than two years to move here?"

Rong Zheng said truthfully: "Husband, he didn't come back in the northwest, and the concubine moved to live alone, so it's strangely lonely." In Bianliang, there is also the county lord as a companion. ”

The crown princess smiled again and asked, "By the way, how is your county lord's body?" In the early years, your husband asked us to ****** to find a doctor, but I don't know if he helped anything? ”

Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "This matter is thanks to the help of the prince, and Doctor Guan has no choice before." It was the prince who helped recommend this Zhong Taiyi with good skills. The county lord's body has recovered a lot, and he is already much better. ”

The crown princess showed a relieved smile on her face, nodded and said, "That's good." ”

The two gossiped for a while, and the princess suddenly remembered Rong Yunlai, who was also a woman from the Rong family, and hurriedly asked people to invite Rong Cai to come over.

"You sisters may not have seen each other in a long time, have you?"

Rong Zheng replied: "Yes, I have only met twice at the end of the thirteenth year when I went to Beijing with the palace. Rong Zheng said in his heart, and he didn't know if the eldest sister was doing well. Have you been wronged in the palace?

The crown princess said: "Sisters, different sides of the world, it is so easy to meet somewhere." But you don't know yet, your eldest sister is pregnant, and it's only three months old here. It's a great thing to celebrate. In the future, it will be a great merit for her to give birth to a dragon son and a dragon girl. The emperor will definitely give her a good place. ”

The fate of the eldest sister is no different from the previous life, so what about the future? Although the eldest sister gave birth to the princess smoothly, the princess died early before she was four years old, and the pain of losing her daughter hit the eldest sister very hard, so that she has been depressed, and she was not favored in the first place, and she never had a child since. He died early.

Rong Zheng was a little distracted for a moment.

The crown princess only thought that Rong Zheng missed her sisters, and she didn't care.

"Your husband heard that he was very brave in the camp and made a lot of contributions. The prince liked it very much. I've been here for more than three years, and I want to call him back, and in the future, I will give him a high-ranking official and rely on him! ”

Rong Zheng knew the development trend behind, and she was a little frightened when she heard the words of the crown princess, she was afraid that Mu Xuan would not get a good ending, and she was afraid that this dependence would be called a sharp blade in the end, and let their family perish. Rong Zhengqiang held back the turbulent waves in his heart, and said some humble words to the crown princess with a smile.

Not long after, someone announced: "Rongcai people are here." ”

The crown princess hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

Rong Zheng turned his head, and at the sound of the curtain, a noblewoman in brocade clothes walked over, and a green-clothed palace maid supported her left hand. Rong Zheng has already stood up. Rong Yun also noticed Rong Zheng, and his face couldn't hide his surprise.

Rong Yun resisted the excitement of meeting her sisters, and wanted to salute the crown princess. The crown princess hurriedly said, "Excuse me." It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant, and besides, we're all juniors. ”

Only then did Rong Zheng say to Rong Yunfu: "Please be safe!" ”

Rong Yun personally stepped forward and grabbed Rong Zheng's arm and said, "Third sister, don't do this." ”

Seeing that their sisters were going to catch up, the princess took the initiative to say, "Let's invite Cairen and Grandma Xuan to talk to Xijijian first." ”

Rong Yun and Rong Zheng gratefully retired.

When he came out, Rong Zheng came to the porch and saw Sister Yuan and Brother Rui chasing and playing in the yard, very happy. I forgot about her as a mother at all.

Rong Zheng called: "Sister Yuan, come here!" ”

When Sister Yuan heard her mother calling, she was a little hesitant to go over until the nurse pulled her over.

Rong Yun saw this little girl, and her heart was clear, she bent over, touched Sister Yuan's hair affectionately, and said, "The little girl is so beautiful." ”

Rong Zheng said to Sister Yuan: "Hurry up and call the talented lady." ”

Rong Yun smiled: "It's right to call Auntie." ”

Sister Yuan looked at Rong Yun and then looked at Rong Zheng with some doubts, and finally smiled toothily, and said to Rong Zheng: "Two mothers! ”

Rong Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, Rong Yun and Rong Zheng were a little similar, so Sister Yuan ran out of such a remark. Rong Yun saw that Sister Yuan was young, so articulate and intelligent, and she liked it even more. Rong Zheng knew that Rong Yun was pregnant with a child, and he was afraid that Sister Yuan would be ignorant and hurt Rong Yun, so he let Sister Yuan continue to play. Here accompanied Rong Yun to the west room that the crown princess said.

After the two sat down, the palace maid put on the tea fruit and retreated. There are only those who are left with them.

Rong Yun sent them down as well, and the sisters were talking.

"I just heard from the crown princess that the mother is happy, it's really a good thing."

Rong Yun was still a little embarrassed, and said with a little shyness: "It's only been four months here, and the fetal position has just been firmly seated." You don't know how much sin I have suffered with him. I used to throw up a lot last month, but it's better here. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "It's not the same when I was pregnant with our sister Yuan. ”

"The third sister is not, what signs did you have at the beginning?"

The sisters made a comparison about the signs of pregnancy. Both sisters had similar symptoms. Rong Yun stretched out his hand and gently stroked his belly, which was not very prominent, and said, "I invited three imperial doctors to come and check the pulse, two of them said it was a girl, and one said it was a boy." ”

"Does the mother like her son or her daughter?" Rong Zheng asked very directly.

Of course Rong Yun wants a son, and his son will be reliable in the future. If she gives birth to a princess and marries in the future, she won't have much to do. If you give birth to a son and become a vassal king, if you are lucky, you may be able to live with your son when you are old.

Rong Yun said shyly in his heart: "I hope to be a prince and have another princess in the future." ”

The eldest sister's idea is very beautiful, but Rong Zheng is reluctant to tell the eldest sister the truth about the future, and said with a smile: "The prince is good, with the prince and the mother, there is also an extra guarantee." ”

Rong Yun asked Rong Zheng a lot of things to pay attention to during pregnancy, and Rong Zheng also communicated with Rong Yun one by one. The sisters haven't seen each other for more than two years, and the last time they met, because Rong Yun was not favored and was ostracized, they were still a little bleak. This time, because Rong Yun was pregnant, she saw hope, and her whole spirit was also refreshed, and even Rong Zheng was sincerely happy for her sister. (To be continued.) )
