Chapter 18 Harmony

Today is a rare sunny day, the early sun is rising, slowly melting the ice and snow, and the faint soft light is sprinkled on the white sky, plating a layer of gold edge for the overnight snow, which is very beautiful.

Yelin was originally the most vibrant place in Changkang Palace, there is no one, because the grass and trees here are deep, there are often birds falling and living in summer, warblers crying, very lively, and in winter, the nest on the dead branches has long been vacant, and the snow covers the branches and leaves, covered in silver.

Walking into Yelin, going up the stairs, walking through the long verandah, beside a small but delicate and clear lake, there is a quiet and chic, and strict courtyard, the door is just a sprinkled maid in brocade clothes, the face is immature and the expression is quiet, doing the work in hand, no head to ear.

This is the residence of Chen Liu, the old lady of Changkang Palace.

Mrs. Liu was in the house at this time, and Song Feng was beating her legs lightly and heavily, and Qingquan was squeezing her shoulders comfortably behind her.

These two, together with Ziye Xia He, are the eldest maids beside Old Madam Liu of Yelin, and they are also the most trusted people by Old Madam Liu's side.

At this time, Ye Lin came to a guest.

"His Royal Highness's orders, the old body has done according to it, but unfortunately her life is not dead, and now the old body has grounded her in the garden, what's the matter, is Your Highness still not satisfied?" Old Madam Liu looked at the person in front of her, and her tone was a little impatient.

"Back to the old lady, what His Royal Highness means, people, it's better to release it, grounding won't solve the problem." The tone of the person who came was respectful, and he did not slack off at all to Mrs. Liu.

"Let it out, hmph, it's a good grounding, why do you want to release it again, isn't your Highness happy to see her a long time ago?"

"Back to the old lady, His Royal Highness means that the grounding is only temporary, and it is only one life in addition to the disaster, the old lady is not as good as her, she is free, and only then can she make mistakes, and if she makes mistakes, she can be completely cleaned up, right?"

"It's not that I said her, my granddaughter-in-law, etiquette and poetry books, proficient in everything, really a lady, others can't find the slightest mistake, otherwise, why did your Royal Highness use such a method to force her, let it out, I'm afraid it's as simple as you think." Old Madam Liu snorted lightly.

"If she doesn't make mistakes, can't she lead her down the wrong path? I heard that the prince has a new favorite, and he turned a deaf ear to her, this is a woman in her prime, doesn't the old lady understand the heart of a woman of such an age? ”

Old Madam Liu's half-closed eyes opened, and she sat up suddenly, staring at the visitor for a long time, and was silent for a long time.

The people who came were not afraid, but they just looked back at Mrs. Liu, and their young faces did not show the slightest timidity.

The atmosphere cooled down all at once.

After nearly a hundred breaths of effort, Mrs. Liu finally spoke, "Sue your Highness, the old body knows." ”

Only then did a smile appear on the face of the person who came, and he got up to say goodbye, but he hesitated before leaving, and turned back to salute Old Madam Liu, "Old Madam really doesn't want to know why our Royal Highness is determined to embarrass your young lady?" ”

Old Madam Liu closed her eyes again, lay down on the chaise longue, and replied without hesitation, "I don't want to, if the old body knows, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will not let go of the old body, as long as the old body knows, my granddaughter-in-law has offended your Royal Highness, if I don't cooperate, it will bring trouble to our Changkang Palace." ”

"The old lady is worthy of being an old lady, she is really shrewd, no wonder she ...... at the beginning" The person who came seemed to remember something, and finally didn't say anything, "That's it, the old lady must not want to mention the past, so she will retire." ”

This time, Mrs. Liu never opened her eyes again, breathing calmly, as if she was really asleep.

When she heard that the footsteps outside had really disappeared, Mrs. Liu opened her eyes and looked at Song Feng, who was beating her legs expressionlessly in front of her, and showed a trace of satisfaction in her eyes.

"I'm going to ask you to come to Aunt Huan." Old Madam Liu said to each other with a pleasant face.

"Yes." Song Feng got up and left as he was told.

"You can also go and take a break, let's see if the small kitchen has made tea crisp and spicy tofu skin buns today, your aunt Huan's favorite food." The old lady said to Qingquan, who was still pinching her shoulder.

"Yes."

Qingquan also stopped, saluted and went out.

After a while, Aunt Huan pushed the door open and came in, but there was no one behind her.

Ye Lin's aunt Huan is a person who beats a child to serve the old lady, and when she was young, she fell into a sick bed in order to protect the old lady, and now in Ye Lin, there are also maids to serve, and the children and nephews in the family also respect her very much, and in Ye Lin, she is also half a master.

As soon as the old lady encountered a difficult matter, she habitually consulted with Aunt Huan, and there could be no one around when discussing, which was also a habit for many years.

"Old lady, this ...... How can this be done, you have to think about it, a person committed suicide, and said, if the reputation of unchastity spreads, it will also be a stain on our palace. Aunt Huan listened to the old lady's words with a shocked expression.

The old lady looked sad, "I don't know this, for the sake of the palace, not to mention the old prince and me, even you have a lot of credit, but now the situation is different, in the past, our old prince was the most trusted brother of the first emperor, and the old prince has no one to blame for my contribution to the Jokhang Kingdom, but now, the first emperor is gone, the old prince is gone, and the second prince His Royal Highness who was the most favored by the first emperor and our old prince is gone!" The eldest princess of Herong single-handedly sent her younger brother, the seventh prince who was the least valued in the past, to the throne. The emperor has long been afraid of our Changkang Palace, otherwise how could he have refused to let us go back to the fiefdom for so many years, nor did he reuse the sons and nephews of our palace, and now the granddaughter-in-law has offended Princess Herong, do you say that we can have any other way than to do what the eldest princess does? ”

Huan Gu was silent, Princess Herong and the current saint are born of the same mother, now the two most powerful people in the world, the former mother concubine is just an unfavored Jieyu, the first to give birth to a daughter to the first emperor, that is, the eldest princess of Herong, but then was left out in the cold for many years, until the first emperor remembered the old love and favored again, and actually gave birth to the seventh prince, that is, the current saint, the first emperor proposed to promote Zhaorong, which is considered to be ranked among the nine concubines, but not even the fourth concubine.

Princess Herong is the eldest princess of the first emperor, although she is a woman, but her means are fierce and ruthless, she married out of the palace and assisted the husband, and made great contributions to the Jokhang country, and died in the East Palace, when the second prince of the East Palace died, the first emperor came forward to stabilize the situation when he was seriously ill, and cleaned up a few restless younger brothers and rebels.

"Now, the daughter of the eldest princess is as old as Xiulin." Xiulin is Chen Hao's small character.

"Yes, time is really unforgiving."

I don't know if today's eldest princess Herong still has the courage and demeanor of the past, but it doesn't matter, even if she doesn't have these now, Changkang Wangfu can't afford to provoke it, because the emperor respects the most is the eldest sister of Herong, and even the daughter of the eldest princess of Herong was named Princess Jiahe by the emperor on the day she was born, which shows the sacred heart.

The two people in the room fell into memories in the sigh......
