Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoyue instructed the four maids in the house: "You go around and take a look, which young lady lives around us?" Jin Qiao went to the door to guard, don't go far, just around this tent, and when he saw someone coming, he signaled loudly. ”

"Yes."

After the maids all went out, Yan Xiaoyue took Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, my sister did something wrong about this, and I shouldn't keep hiding it from you." Don't talk first, listen to me, and after listening, you will treat it as if there is no time, what to do and what to do, you know? ”

After seeing Xiaoxiao nodded, Yan Xiaoyue organized the language, "The current emperor has ascended the throne and named the former crown princess as the queen of benevolence and righteousness, but there is still the current queen by his side, then, King Jin and King Ning have become concubines, and they are both qualified for the dispute between the princes." And the father-in-law was the emperor's confidant, so he naturally became the object of the two kings' struggle. ”

sighed, "But the two princes have already married wives, especially the King of Jin, the positions of the concubines on both sides are full, and it is impossible for you to blatantly carry it in as a lady, so who will his target be?" ”

After waiting for a while to give Xiaoxiao time to think, sure enough, Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaoyue with wide eyes and frightened, and Yan Xiaoyue nodded. Then he said: "Although King Ning's Mansion is better, one princess and one side concubine, and one side concubine's position is vacant, but King Ning's situation is not very good. Although he is the emperor's son-in-law, he is not the emperor's favorite son-in-law. ”

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but interrupt: "How do you say that? ”

Yan Xiaoyue thought for a while, "This is related to the government, Li Yuxian, the princess of Jin, was born in the Anguo Mansion, the Anguo Duke is in charge of the northwest military power, and among the concubines on both sides of the Jin Dynasty, Li Yanran is from the Zhongshu Ling Mansion, He Shiyu is from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and there are several ladies, all of whom are not ordinary and ordinary characters. Especially the princess of Jin, who guarded the palace of the king of Jin as solid, how could she hear any rumors that were unfavorable to the king of Jin in the past two years? ”

"Instead, look at King Ning again. Princess Ning is actually her cousin, and she is still such an unreliable person, and she still has no children. The side concubine Chen Ling'er is the daughter of the head of the household. I heard that it's not bad, I already have an eldest son, but this good person was personally asked by King Ning, so isn't the comparison obvious? ”

Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Sister, isn't it good for Princess Ning to be King Ning's cousin?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue said helplessly: "Of course it's not good." Princess Ning Jian Wanyan is the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, the queen's niece, no matter who she marries, she is the help of King Ning, but she is married to King Ning, and she can't manage the affairs of the palace, which is simply the biggest obstacle to King Ning. ”

Xiaoxiao asked again: "But isn't Li Yanran, the side concubine of King Jin, also the cousin of King Jin?" ”

"How can it be the same? Li Yanran's grandfather was Zhongshuling, one of the giants in the civil service, while An Guogong and Pingyang Marquis mostly relied on military merits to make marquises, and they had no rights in the officialdom. Compared with the two, isn't King Jin much smoother than King Ning in the court? ”

Thinking of this, I would say more, "The emperor transferred his father-in-law to the imperial city to serve as the secretary of the ministry, and he may not have the idea of balancing the king of Jin." After all, the current ruler is still His Majesty, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch? King Jin was still a little anxious, and his father-in-law wanted to reach out to us before he could stand on his feet. ”

Xiaoxiao recovered after a long time, and hurriedly said: "This imperial city is so dangerous, ah, sister, will you be okay?" Why don't we go and live in the temple? ”

Yan Xiaoyue was taken aback by Yang Xiao'er. Then he comforted: "It's okay, with those rumors a few days ago, the Jin Palace's Mansion will definitely not dare to make any more moves, and I believe that the emperor will not watch any of us enter the palace." You can rest assured. ”

Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Yan Xiaoyue looked at Xiaoxiao seriously: "Since I have told you all this, then I will finish it at once, I am afraid that your family affairs cannot wait until you are eighteen years old, it is estimated that you will talk about it later, you have to be prepared, take a look." Someone with closed eyes will tell me, and I'll have someone inquire for you. ”

Xiaoxiao said shyly: "What, if you want to get married, you will be the first." ”

Yan Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Of course I'm the first, but, Xiaoxiao, marrying someone is a woman's second reincarnation, you have to see it." ”

Xiaoxiao nodded, and said sweetly: "I know, I must tell my sister when the time comes, and let my sister help me palm, I can't be wrong." “

Since it is said that family affairs, Yan Xiaoyue mentioned the candidate that Yang Mocheng likes, "The father-in-law can't stand in line, so we can't choose the factions that are directly related to the palace." During this time, I helped you choose the most suitable two, one is the Jiang family and the other is the Zhu family. ”

Observing Yang Xiao'er's face, and seeing that she was listening carefully, she continued: "The two families are better than the Zhu family, the Jiang family has a big business, the inner courtyard is complicated, Jiang Siyan is the eldest grandson, but his father was exiled and could not return to Beijing, which shows that the house is not very peaceful." I heard that the Jiang family also has a second son, and he has not returned to the imperial city after going out to study for several years. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Xiaoyue thought of the man with an extremely presumptuous gaze she had just seen, could she be the second son of the Jiang family?

Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Jiang Gongzi looks very gentle, but it makes people feel unfathomable, I ...... It's always a little scary. ”

Yan Xiaoyue nodded, remembering Jiang Siyan's words and deeds in Huguo Temple, and did not persuade much, and asked, "What about Zhu Bin?" He is the second son of the Zhu family, and he will not have to bear the heavy responsibility of the family in the future, and he can live his own small life after the family is separated, which is very good. However, the most touching thing is the family rule of the Zhu family, the wife can only take a concubine if she has no children in her thirties, and in this regard, many young ladies in the imperial city are extremely satisfied. ”

In this era, the status of women is low, only the wife can still occupy a little weight in the family, the concubines can't be on the stage, and the most favored can only be regarded as half a master, not to mention the same as a room, that is, a servant of the subordinate.

Xiaoxiao's face was flushed, and she said with some envy: "It is extremely rare to take a concubine without a child at thirty." ”

Yan Xiaoyue nodded Xiaoxiao's forehead, and didn't say much, the Zhu family is just relatively better, if you marry and break up Xiaoxiao doesn't have to serve her in-laws, then Xiaoyue has no opinion, if not, then you have to think about it carefully.

Yan Xiaoyue was drinking tea to moisten her throat, and Jin Qiao came in to say: A maid in the palace said that the meal was delivered.

Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, sorted out each other's clothes, and let people in.

The person who came was a green-clothed slave maid, and after seeing the ceremony, he stood up and said loudly: "Slave maid Caiyun has seen two young ladies, according to the mouth of the queen's mother, the ladies of each province will rest in their own residence for one night, and they will gather tomorrow." Please get ready, ladies and ladies, and besides, this is today's dinner, ladies please use it. After speaking, he handed the food box in his hand to Jin Ling, who was standing aside.

Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao stood up and saluted the queen's residence, and Xiaoyue said, "Thank you, auntie, please tell the mother, the courtiers should abide by it." ”

Caiyun then continued: "Then may I ask the young lady what else to order, if not, the slave will retire." ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Auntie has a heart, our sisters live well." Jin Qiao, send Aunt Caiyun. He gave Jin Qiao a look.

Jin Qiao took out a purse from his arms and handed it to her palm while he was supporting Caiyun, Caiyun pinched it without changing his face, and then smiled and happily withdrew. It seems that Jin Qiao gave a big red envelope, it looks weightless, but there are actually five taels of silver tickets in it. (To be continued.) )
