On a summer afternoon, the coolest place in Xinglin Hutong is the pavilion on the garden rockery.

Jiang took a nap, called Cui Keyin, and went to the pavilion to cool off surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law.

With a warm wind blowing on your face, it doesn't feel cool, it only makes people uncomfortable.

Cuihuan presented iced mung bean soup, and Jiang Shi drank it while saying, "From last night to now, my eyelids have been jumping, and I don't know what will happen?" ”

Cui Keyin gently stirred the mung bean soup with a small silver spoon, and the crushed ice in the bowl made a slight tinkling sound, and said, "The weather is too hot, which makes people upset and irritable." Isn't the aunt not resting well, but her eyes are tired? Eyelid jumping, sometimes because the eyes are too tired. ”

"But it's not," Jiang Shi was nervous for a long time, and when he heard Cui Keyin say this, he immediately smiled: "It was too hot last night, your eldest uncle couldn't sleep, so I fanned him in the middle of the night." ”

"Just take a break." Cui Keyin comforted her.

The two drank mung bean soup and gossiped, but they didn't feel as hot as just now.

When he saw Shen, Jiang called the mother-in-law on the stove and arranged dinner, while Cui Keyin watched from the sidelines.

A little girl from Shangjiao's chief horn hurriedly ran over, ignoring the sweat on her face, and saluted: "Madam, the master is back, please come over." ”

"Coming back so early?" Jiang Shi was shocked and said, "Is there really an accident?" ”

Jiang asked Cui Keyin to return to Huayue Xuan first, and she hurriedly returned to Chunshan Residence.

Cui Zhenyi walked around the banquet room, and as soon as he saw her come in, he immediately said: "Oh no, the emperor decreed that officials above the third grade, Xungui's family, and unmarried girls of appropriate age should enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet held by the queen mother." ”

This is not a year, what kind of palace banquet is held? If there is no strangeness, there are really ghosts.

"I inquired quietly, it turned out that it was to choose a concubine for King Jin." Cui Zhenyi looked at Jiang: "You say, what should we do?" ”

Jiang sighed: "No wonder my eyelids keep jumping." ”

Cui Zhenyi continued to circle around the room until Jiang was dizzy, and then stopped and said, "In this way, we will report Keyin's illness so that she doesn't have to go." ”

The weather is so hot, and there are many people who get sick from heat stroke, and it is not bad to be a single one.

Jiang said: "If you don't hide like this, won't the emperor condemn you?" ”

This is a crime of deception.

"I'll talk about it later, but avoid this level first." Cui Zhenyi said.

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Jiang naturally supported it.

"Don't let Keyin know." Cui Zhenyi advised: "She's still young, don't let her be scared." ”

At dinner, Cui Keyin saw that Cui Zhenyi was not unusual, but Jiang didn't dare to look at her, which was very strange, so she asked Lu Ying to inquire, but she couldn't inquire, so she had to throw this matter away.

In the evening, Zhou Heng came and said, "How many silver taels did your family send to Wang Zhe?" ”

Cui Keyin was puzzled and said, "Why did you send him a silver ticket?" ”

Could it be that because he asked for a silver ticket, the eldest uncle came back from the yamen an hour early? The eldest uncle is not such a person.

Zhou Heng sneered and said: "He instigated the Queen Mother to make a fuss about my family affairs and accept bribes from them, and he made at least tens of thousands of taels on this trip." ”

Who would dare not bribe the person who sent the girl to the palace banquet? Who dares to guarantee that her daughter will not eat bad things, will not get lost, will not lose face in front of everyone, and will not say the wrong thing to dislike the Queen Mother?

Cui Keyin looked at him with a pair of wonderful eyes and said, "How can he profit from your family affairs?" ”

Zhou Heng asked rhetorically: "Don't you attend the palace banquet in three days?" ”

Cui Keyin can be considered to understand, it turns out that for this, the eldest uncle hurried home to discuss countermeasures with the eldest aunt.

"I shouldn't have participated, my uncle and aunt didn't tell me about it." Cui Keyin thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is estimated that Wang Zhe will not be able to earn the silver taels of his uncle." ”

"Really?" Zhou Heng couldn't say that he was disappointed or happy, so he sat down slightly and left.

Lu Ying had just made tea, and the pastel teacup was still in her hand, and she couldn't help but ask Cui Keyin: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Cui Keyin didn't answer.

Cui Zhenyi really reported that he was sick, and the chamberlain handed it over, and the queen mother said: "The body is too weak, take care of it at home." ”

There is no intention to see Cui Keyin's illness.

Cui Zhenyi's heart was finally put back in his stomach.

In the end, it is not his biological parents, Jiang thought about it, for fear of being resented by Cui Keyin in the future, so he still found an opportunity to tell Cui Keyin about it: "What your eldest uncle means, no matter how good the royal family is, it is better to find a proper family and live your own life behind closed doors." ”

Cui Keyin expressed her understanding: "The eldest uncle is also thinking about me. ”

Jiang Shi was very pleased: "It's good that you can think so." ”

Cui Keyin didn't go to the palace banquet, Miss Yao Liu went, and when she came to visit the door, she talked about Li Xiuxiu and couldn't laugh: "...... dressed up in a flamboyant manner, wearing twelve moonflower skirts, and playing a song of phoenix begging for a phoenix. So what, after the banquet, the Queen Mother did not leave her to speak. ”

I want to come to the Queen Mother to leave Miss Yao Liu to speak.

Cui Keyin said: "Can King Jin be present?" ”

"I didn't see it." Miss Yao Liu said: "The Queen Mother and the Empress, as well as Concubine Chen Guifei have all arrived. It's ridiculous that Li Xiuxiu has robbed the queen of the limelight, how can the ladies like her? ”

Cui Keyin didn't want to talk about Li Xiuxiu, so she diverted the topic elsewhere.

However, many people said that in order to marry his daughter to the King of Jin, Marquis Dingyuan gave Wang Zhe 5,000 taels and asked him to take care of the palace.

Cui Zhenyi shook his head and sighed: "Wang Zhe is really bold, he even dares to take this kind of money." ”

Cui Keyin was silent, in the eyes of many people, King Jin was not as powerful as Wang Zhe. Relying on the emperor's favor and taking care of the prince's family affairs, what else does he dare not do?

When Zhou Heng came, Cui Keyin asked him, "Did you go that day?" ”

"Go." Zhou Heng said calmly: "Brother Huang and I stood behind the wisteria flowers and watched their various hypocrisies. ”

Cui Keyin looked at him, saw that he didn't look angry and sad, and quipped: "It can be seen how much they want to conclude a good relationship with you." ”

"You want to be the princess of Jin, right?" The air in the room suddenly cooled, and Zhou Heng said lightly: "What does it have to do with me!" ”

Cui Keyin instructed Lu Ying: "Make a cup of red robe for the prince." ”

Zhou Heng returned to his nonchalant demeanor and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to remember." ”

Do you remember that he loves to drink the big red robe?

Cui Keyin also laughed and joked: "How many people want to flatter the prince There is no way, I can serve a cup of tea to the prince, but the ancestral tomb is smoking." ”

"You don't have to comfort me." Zhou Heng said: "How many people think that my life will not be long." However, even if I die, my wife is also a princess and enjoys royal honor. ”

That's his sorrow, isn't it?

Thinking that the eldest uncle was precisely because of this, he didn't want to have anything to do with him, Cui Keyin didn't know how to comfort him.

Neither of them spoke, except for the cicadas in the trees outside chirping higher than one after another.
