87_87437 Song Qinglian returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, her face was a little unpleasant. The maids didn't dare to say much, but hugged her back to the leisurely fast. She took off her complicated second-grade women's clothes and put on a homely half-old autumn-colored flower-sprinkled mink jacket.

The eldest maid Marigold also helped neatly take off the gold silk inlaid ruby double luan on Song Qinglian's head, and then helped her surround the pearl silver fox skin, and then said with a smile: "Madame, but I'm tired, wait for the slave to help you pinch your legs!" ”

Song Qinglian lowered her eyes slightly, rubbed her temples that were a little swollen, and said, "It's okay, where did Grandpa Guo go?" ”

Marigold looked outside and said, "I don't know what kind of good book the prince found for Grandpa Guo, which made Grandpa Guo seem to have a treasure, and he has been reading it in the study for a day." ”

"It's okay, after watching it for a long time, I have to have a headache at night." Song Qinglian couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and walked to the study.

Guo Tinghui, the prince of Zhenguo, was really sitting in the study, looking at a blue thread-bound book in his hand with fascination. Song Qinglian smiled slightly, and instructed Marigold: "Go, bring a bowl of walnut cheese stewed in the kitchen." ”

"Yes." Marigold said yes crisply, retreated, and carefully helped cover the door of the study. The couple were left in the house.

Guo Tinghui raised his head when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "It's not that the queen wants to keep you for dinner, why did you come back so early." "Grandpa Guo is also in his early forties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and there is no trace of white hair, and the black silk is tied to the top of his hair with a mutton fat white hosta. Wearing a homely dark green calamus pattern cotton brocade robe, he was a little elegant. No one could see that he was the commander of a side with 100,000 heavy troops.

Song Qinglian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It is said that the most favored concubine in the palace sprained her foot when she was appreciating plums, and was later diagnosed with a dragon fetus. Niangniang, where is she still in the mood to keep me for dinner, I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish it again. The tone was quite embarrassing.

Guo Tinghui said disappreciably: "She is the queen, and those concubines don't care if they are favored, to put it bluntly, they are just concubines." The children they give birth to must call her the queen mother, and the lady does not have to sigh like this. ”

"That being said, I'm afraid that Niangniang will still feel uncomfortable." Song Qinglian still felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Come to think of it, the head of the house will really feel happy when she sees the child born by the concubine, and it is estimated that she will have the mind to eat it raw. It's a pity that Hui'er is the queen, and she usually doesn't care how high her heart is, but this harem is the most intolerant place.

Guo Tinghui obviously didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so he picked up the notebook in his hand and handed it to Song Qinglian's eyes, and said with a smile: "Madam, please look at this paragraph." ”

Song Qinglian took the script, but saw such a description: the lakes and mountains are flying and the rocks are printed with blue waves, and the stone walls are not enough to insert water into the mountains. The boat climbed to the top, and the lake light washed the cold jade. The cold jade surged in front of the banquet, and 200,000 acres of clouds and smoke. A crane can't fly, and the sky seems to be fateful

Song Qinglian couldn't put it down: "There is such a wonder in the world! Although it is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, Song Qinglian, as the daughter of the prince and the young master, still has a lot of research on these poems and songs.

Guo Tinghui said with a smile: "This is a travelogue given to me by Cheng Hei today, and I especially love this description of Huashan Luohan Rock." In a few years, when I am relieved of military affairs and become an idle grandfather, I must take my wife with me to see for myself. ”

As soon as she spoke, Song Qinglian was shy, and her fair cheeks were also stained with redness. Although she is nearly forty years old, because of the love of husband and wife, coupled with proper maintenance, all things in the family are taken care of by Mrs. Guo. She only needs to be concerned about the business of her dowry shop once in a while, and how the harvest is on the estate, so she looks like she is just in her early thirties.

She squirmed, and suddenly remembered what she said to Queen Guo in the palace, and hurriedly asked: "Today in the palace, I heard the emperor say that the heir beat Zhang Shilang's eldest son, does Grandpa Guo know about this?" “

"I've heard a little." Guo Tinghui said indifferently: "Don't say it's the eldest son, even if you beat Zhang Shilang himself, our Guogong Mansion can afford it." Who let them act so badly, and their own flesh and blood are so wasted, can he still be justified? ”

"That being said, it's not good to beat up the court officials!" Song Qinglian also felt that although her son acted recklessly, he could also be called chivalrous. But who doesn't know that there is the current queen and the crown prince standing behind the Zhenguo Mansion, and the heir's reckless behavior will affect the reputation of the queen and the prince between the government and the opposition, as well as the face in front of the emperor.

Guo Tinghui saw that Song Qinglian was still entangled, so he said with some amusement: "Could it be that the emperor has the intention of blaming the heir for this matter?" ”

Song Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said: "That's not true, the emperor still praised him." And I listened to the meaning of the queen's words, and estimated that the emperor still wanted the heir to enter the criminal department. ”

"Since the emperor doesn't mean to blame the heir, why are you in a hurry!" Guo Tinghui's eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile: "Now that the four seas are peaceful, the emperor has advocated strict laws several times at court meetings. The criminal department is very good, in charge of the world's criminal name, suitable for the heir's temperament. ”

Song Qinglian sighed and said, "I naturally know that the criminal department is very good, but it is the military department that the heir himself wants. I don't know if the kid will be unhappy. ”

"The emperor's will comes down, and he has to be happy if he is not happy." Guo Tinghui lowered his head and set his eyes on the travelogue in his hand again. Song Qinglian is a woman in the end, and her knowledge is still shallow. Guo Tinghui knew that if Guo Chengsi hadn't made this scene brainlessly, he might not have the opportunity to serve in the Criminal Department.

The most taboo thing for the emperor has always been that the courtiers form gangs, especially the foreign family of the future prince, if the power in his hands is too great, it is very likely to form a trend of forcing the palace. And the current emperor Zhu Xian is young, strong and ambitious, although he has set up the queen's son Zhu Houde as the crown prince, but he is also jealous of the queen's maiden town.

Guo Tinghui, the Duke of Zhenguo, has been in charge of the 100,000 Beijing battalion stationed outside Chang'an City for many years, and most of the officers and soldiers in the army are his brothers in Paoze, and he holds half a tiger talisman in his hand. When Zhu Xian was able to ascend the throne smoothly, he relied on Guo Tinghui to help him exterminate several rebels. It was Guo Tinghui's illustrious support that laid the foundation for Guo Chenghui's position as queen and Zhu Houde's position as the crown prince.

But now Zhu Xian no longer needs the support of this father-in-law, his Guo Tinghui's power in the army is unbreakable, if he still has a lot of friendship with the civil officials, it is estimated that the town's mansion will not be far from the house.

And Guo Chenghei beat Zhang Shilang's eldest son violently, in fact, he has inadvertently offended those pedantic and courtesy who like to go online. But this is the situation that the emperor wants to see the most, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Xian is willing to put Guo Chengsi in the Criminal Department. Of course, that's also the easiest place to offend people.

At this moment, Marigold pushed the door and walked in with a small black lacquered tea tray. On the tea tray is an enamelled white plum blossom red ground bowl with steaming milk-skinned walnut cheese.

"Drink it while it's hot, Imperial Doctor Feng said, this walnut is the most brain-replenishing. Your headache is caused by overuse of your brain on weekdays, and drinking this is just the right thing to make up. Song Qinglian personally picked up the bowl of walnut cheese with milk skin and sent it to Guo Tinghui, under her eager gaze, Guo Tinghui had to put down the travelogue in his hand, picked up the white jade spoon, and ate it slowly.

Seeing Jiang Tinghui's sweet food, Song Qinglian was also very happy in her heart, and she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed as if she remembered something. Seeing this, Guo Tinghui put down the spoon and asked with great interest: "Madame remembered what happened, she was so happy." ”

Song Qinglian said with a smile: "I only said that the emperor has every opportunity every day, but I didn't expect that he is also a person who likes to have a long tongue." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Tinghui said strangely.

Song Qinglian parroted what Zhu Xian and Zhao Quan said about the backyard of Zhang Shilang's house. Then he said with a smile: "I only vaguely heard that Zhang Lang's family is headed by an aunt, and the banquets between various mansions on weekdays have forgotten her intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, the concubine of Zhang's family is fourteen years old, but she is not high or low, and she has not yet decided on her mother-in-law's family. Unexpectedly, the emperor even knew how many aunts he had in his family, and all of them were concubines, so he knew such a thing. ”

Guo Tinghui's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he said with a smile: "Maybe Zhang Shilang wants to keep his family's concubine and wait for the triennial draft." Song Qinglian can laugh at Zhu Xian's long tongue, but he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Because of his casual conversation with Song Qinglian today, maybe tomorrow it will be recorded and placed on Zhu Xian's desk.

Guo Tinghui knew that Zhu Xian also maintained a large group of secret guards, which were directly controlled by the emperor himself, and were specifically responsible for secretly collecting intelligence. Especially the world-honored people who hold power in their hands, they are the focus of those secret guards. It is estimated that no matter how big or small the family is, none of them can escape their surveillance. To put it mildly, maybe whoever had the grape trellis the night before fell down, Zhu Xian would know the next day.

As a servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Shilang is responsible for the management, assessment, promotion and other matters of the officials, and he is also a relatively important department in the imperial court, so of course he will be closely cared for by these secret guards.

Zhao Quan couldn't talk much at all, he must have been ordered by Zhu Xian to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

Guo Tinghui didn't want to comment too much on this matter, so he picked up the travelogue again and read it with relish. At this time, a mother-in-law outside the door sent a madder flower and gold invitation, saying that it was sent by the housekeeper in the eldest princess's mansion. Marigold took it and handed it over to Song Qinglian.

Song Qinglian hadn't opened it yet, so she said with a smile: "It must be that the eldest princess can't be idle, and she has come up with some tricks to invite us to get together." When she opened the invitation that still exuded a dark fragrance, after reading it carefully, she said with a smile: "Sure enough, I guessed correctly, the eldest princess Ming'er held a plum appreciation meeting in her garden." She also said that the Taiye Lake in her garden has formed a thick layer of ice, and the young masters and sons in each mansion can go to play ice hockey. This time the heir will have fun. ”

The eldest princess is her aunt who is now long lived, and Song Qinglian has also been her companion in the past, so she can be said to be a veritable sister in the boudoir. Later, Song Qinglian married Guo Tinghui, who was still a son at the time, and the husband and wife were harmonious, with children and daughters, but they were also happy.

Although the eldest princess is a royal heir, her fate is bumpy. After marrying the eldest son, he has always been in love with Qin Se and Ming, and the biggest regret is that he has no heirs. The eldest princess and the concubine had been looking for medical advice in the first few years, but after a long time, Fu Siyuan had to sigh that his fate was not related to the heir, and he gave up the treatment.

Although it is a great pity to have no children, it is not too bleak for the eldest princess to be accompanied by the colt wholeheartedly. Who knew that just five years ago, the colt took a group of relatives to hunt in the suburbs, and accidentally stumbled and slipped down a mountain stream. Zhu Xian sent people to climb the entire mountain cliff, but there was no one alive or dead. And no wonder, because at the foot of the mountain, there is a large rushing river. If a person falls into the river, whether he is dead or alive, he will be washed far away in an instant, and it is very difficult to find it again.

For five years, because the body of the colt was not found, the eldest princess had always believed that the pony had not died, but was waiting for her to rescue her somewhere, so she never gave up the search.

It's just that five years have been too lonely, and the eldest princess often thinks of some excuses, holds some parties, and invites some court wives and young ladies in various mansions to have fun and pass the lonely days. And Song Qinglian, as the eldest princess's companion and best friend, plus she is the queen's own mother, is naturally one of the distinguished guests who are invited every time
