Jian Ying watched Concubine Wen lead her into the inner room, and sent all the girls out, knowing that people had guessed her intentions.

However, it takes skill for women to chat with each other, and Rao knows each other well, and they can't put on a menacing posture as soon as they come up. Whether to say it or not, how much to say, it depends on the mood.

So from today's weather to the Teng family's proposal to propose, from the proposal to Zhou Qin's crying in the blue courtyard early in the morning, from crying to King Ji'an's attitude towards his children, and finally led the topic to the old lady.

According to Concubine Wen, the old lady is a person who pays great attention to maintenance, she is nearly fifty years old, and her face is still as tender and smooth as a thirty-year-old person, and she can't even see a few wrinkles.

The foundation is also good, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, a melon seed face, a cherry mouth, slender fingers, a slender figure, and an elegant bearing. Don't say that those daughters-in-law and wives are young girls who are ashamed of themselves in front of her.

You can see how beautiful she was when she was young.

Concubine Wen Shu has never seen the old princess, but I heard the old man in the house say that when the old prince was alive, he was very precious to the old lady. I'd rather suffer myself than let the old lady suffer a little grievance, and the clothes and jewelry at four o'clock have never been broken.

Except for the old lady, she has never been contaminated with any woman, and she is wholeheartedly devoted to the old lady until she dies.

Maybe he likes his wife too much, and he seems a little cold to his son.

King Ji'an was not very close to the old prince, and after the old prince passed away, he rarely heard him mention his father.

It is a deep mother-son relationship with the old lady, whether it is before or after the king, she is very filial to the old lady and is very in awe.

The old lady is dignified and quiet most of the time, and occasionally loses her temper, but she is thunderous and extremely intimidating. King Ji'an is over thirty years old, and he was glared at by the old lady, and he had to tremble for a long time.

Not to mention those of them who are daughters-in-law.

When the old lady was alive, everyone in the house was well-behaved. Which one dares to make a mistake?

The Meng family is also one of the best families in Qufu, and when the Meng family first got married, they looked down on King Ji'an, an upstart who had stepped on shit luck, and always put on everyone's daughter. Vainly trying to hold the king of Ji'an in the palm of his hand.

The old lady neither reprimanded nor persuaded, but only wrote a letter and sent someone to the capital. It didn't take long for the first emperor to point out a side concubine to King Ji'an, which is now the white side concubine.

The registered daughter of the second grade of the capital. Appearance, family background, character, and bearing all overpower Meng's head everywhere.

The more Meng targeted her, the more protective the old lady became, and Concubine Bai became more and more favored in front of King Ji'an. When Concubine Bai became pregnant, Meng Shi was completely panicked, and finally knelt in front of the old lady and bowed her head to admit her mistake.

The old lady still didn't say a word, but it didn't take long. Concubine Bai slipped the tire inexplicably.

Meng Shi was not stupid, he guessed that Concubine Bai's slippery tire must be the handiwork of the old lady, and he became more and more jealous of the old lady's decisive means of killing, and he didn't dare to make waves. gave birth to Zhou Qing and Zhou Han two sisters and brothers one after another, and honestly taught each other husband and children.

Concubine Bai has never been able to conceive a child, and it was not until Zhou Qing and Zhou Han's sister and brother grew up to be four or five years old that they became pregnant with Zhou Xiang again, and at that time Meng had been missing for more than two years.

"Good and decent, how could Princess Meng disappear?" Jian Ying interjected and asked.

"It is said that on the way to Mount Tai to incense and repay wishes, I met refugees who fled. They were robbed and separated from their subordinates. Concubine Wen sighed and shook her head, "In those years, it was just in time for the severe drought in the northwest, and many displaced people flocked to the southeast. When you are hungry, you will smash and rob, similar to bandits. ”

Jian Ying couldn't help frowning, "Since there are homeless people making trouble, why does Princess Meng take the risk of going out?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't entered the palace at that time, I listened to the old people in the palace." Concubine Wen Shu picked up the teacup and took a small sip. staring at the green tea, he said casually, "There are some rumors outside that Princess Meng was quietly disposed of by the old lady because she offended the old lady." ”

Jian Ying's heart jumped, but she smiled: "This is impossible, right?" ”

"Yes." Concubine Wen Shu said casually, "After Princess Meng disappeared, the old lady put the eldest girl and the prince by her side to raise her, and she had to ask about everything in person.

It wasn't until the first princess entered the door for two or three years that she was in poor spirits, so she let them out, and the first princess took care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”

Jian Ying knew that the Meng family couldn't ask anything about this line, so she changed her tone and said, "So, Concubine Bai was also in the limelight for a while?" ”

"More than just the scenery?" Concubine Wen Shu smiled faintly, "In the five or six years that Princess Meng disappeared, Concubine Bai was alone in this mansion, and the prince also relied on her very much, and he once had the idea of straightening her right. ”

Jian Yingxin said Sure enough, Concubine Bai is also a person with a story, "In this case, why is it like being separated from my father now?" ”

"It may have something to do with the Bai family." Concubine Wen used a speculative tone, but the expression on her face was determined, "Concubine Bai's father was originally a big official, a favorite of the first emperor. Later, he was involved in the smuggling of Gongmi in Jiangnan and was demoted out of the capital.

When the Bai family had an accident, Concubine Bai's eldest brother also came to Jinan Mansion to ask the prince for help. It is said that the old lady didn't even let him enter the gate, and directly ordered the people to be driven away.

Concubine Bai fell seriously ill for this, and the prince felt sorry for Concubine Bai, so he wrote a letter to the emperor without telling the old lady. The old lady was furious when she found out and punished the prince for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.

Since then, Concubine Bai has been disgusted by the old lady, and the prince has been cold to her day by day, and even the second girl has been carried to the old lady's room to be raised, and no one dares to mention the matter of rectification.

The old lady originally fell in love with the eldest lady of the Fang family in the capital, and planned to hire a ...... to fill the house for the prince."

"Miss Fang?" Jian Ying was a little surprised.

Concubine Wen looked at her and couldn't help but smile, "It's not the princess, it's the princess's aunt."

That Miss Fang is also a well-known symbol in the capital, and the old lady likes her very much, and even changed her marriage certificate. Who knew that the prince disagreed, but he took a fancy to the daughter of a teaching gentleman......"

Jian Ying couldn't help but widen her eyes, "The first concubine is the father himself?" ”

"Yes, in order to marry the first princess, the prince turned his face with the old lady for the first time in his life. The mother and son were in a stalemate for several months, but in the end, the old concubine compromised, withdrew the marriage letter from the Fang family, and allowed the first princess to enter the door.

Probably didn't marry according to her own wishes, the old lady has always been very distant from the first princess, and even with the second young master, she is not very close.

When the first princess was pregnant, the old lady picked her to be a concubine for the prince. ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Wen Shu pointed to her face, "Actually, I look a little similar to the first princess." ”
