Chapter 040: Talking
Mrs. Yun Zhen glanced at her slightly, and then laughed: "You have been sick inexplicably, but it seems that you have grown up by two points." β
"It's another year, how can you not grow up." Ruosheng looked back sideways, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled.
When Mrs. Yun Zhen heard this, she said: "You can think of the trick in this, it can be seen that you are also smart, and your aunt can be more relieved in the future." β
If she is dumbfounded, what my aunt said, could it be that she was stupid before? She thought about her original appearance in her aunt's mind, and she didn't feel embarrassed, shrunk her hand and sat up straight, and said, "Auntie, if the Duan family gives me another post in the future, I won't find it, and I will refuse directly, maybe?" β
"Oh?" Mrs. Yun Zhen leaned back, and two points of laziness appeared between her eyebrows, "What's feasible about this, if you want to go, you will naturally go; If you don't want to, you don't have to. β
Ruosheng leaned on her shoulder, raised his left hand and gestured, "It's meaningless to go, and others don't want to see me, so why should I rush up." Softly, she hooked her lips slightly, her almond eyes were round, like a cat, revealing a little cunning, "I don't have to go to a banquet like today, if my cousins marry wives and leave the cabinet, or if there is a big event next to me, then I should still go." β
Mrs. Yun Zhen smiled, closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "When you grow up, you can also make your own ideas, very good." β
If the mother is gone, the father himself is still like a child, and he really can't take care of her, so she almost grew up with her aunt. But the aunt shoulders the family's major affairs, and she can't accompany her all the time, and the servant women below don't even dare to speak loudly because Ruosheng is favored in front of Mrs. Yun Zhen, let alone dissuade, she only coaxes her to hold her, and forcibly raises her temperament to be delicate and fierce.
So now she can say such things in front of Mrs. Yun Zhen, and she can analyze it to the truth. Mrs. Yun Zhen was very happy to hear this.
After praising her, she comforted Ruosheng and said, "Okay, the Duan family's affairs will be solved by themselves, and it has nothing to do with you." The criminal department will investigate the case, the Duan family will run, and it won't be long before it will be cracked, you don't have to worry about it, just go back and get a good night's sleep. β
If you are born, you should be one.
Mrs. Yun Zhen opened her eyes, yawned, and said slowly, "As for your eldest aunt's style." Now it's getting more and more out of the table. β
The Duan family has borrowed the Tao to connect the family, and has earned some yellow and white things over the years, but they are generous and generous, and a person with five or six people can't even teach a child.
"The children she taught are not very popular." Mrs. Yun Zhen smiled slightly, sneered, and said, "The emperor still thinks that the girls of the Duan family are becoming famous, and they are all quite famous. has both appearance, and the family is also worth it, maybe you can choose a princess to come out, it's a joke. β
Ruosheng deliberately did not follow the words that her eldest aunt said to her at Duan's house to sue Aunt SΓΉ. originally wanted to simply take this opportunity to make her aunt completely tired of the Duan family, and in the future, she would not have to deal with the Duan family more, so as not to always remember the appearance of the Duan family in her previous life who looked at them coldly.
I never thought about it, but I unexpectedly heard such a big thing.
The third cousin said and did things in the woods. It seems that she has no brains, but the person in Ruosheng's memory is not just like that.
The previous life. The third cousin entered the East Palace and became the crown princess!
The Duan family is prosperous, there are so many girls in Duan Suyun's generation, who are more beautiful than her, more talented than her, and smarter and more capable than her, but why did they pick her?
If it weren't for her worthiness, with the Duan family's habit of valuing interests over affection, why would she be sent there?
It was because the third cousin suddenly made such a move in the begonia forest before, Ruosheng only felt strange and suspicious, instead of being angry that the third cousin dared to slander himself as a murderer. Her words and deeds must have made her so panicked that she would say it first, regardless of the best or the worst.
But Ruosheng listened to his aunt's words at the moment, and the palace didn't seem to have made up his mind, but he just intended to choose someone from the Duan family.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to get married?" β
Mrs. Yun Zhen shook her head, played with a jade pendant tied around her waist with her bare hands, and said, "The candidate has not been decided, and it is still very early." β
It was decided that the candidate for the crown princess was decided, and the Ministry of Industry and Rites each stepped up their busy work, repairing the palace room, preparing the ceremony, and a year and a half passed in a blink of an eye. What's more, now, there are two side concubines by the current prince's side, and it is not so easy to decide who should sit in the position of the main concubine.
But Emperor Jialong's preference for the Duan family was something that Mrs. Yun Zhen didn't expect at first.
The family background of the crown princess can be more prosperous and superior.
The girl of the excerpt family is not low, but it is not high.
"The daughter of the Duan family, if she falls in front of the first prince, she can only be a good woman at best." Madam Yun Zhen suddenly sneered.
Ruosheng was stunned, and then secretly calculated in his heart, and now it is the seventeenth year of Xuanming, then, it has been two years since the death of the first prince, and it has been more than a year since the third son of the emperor, the eldest grandson, Shaocha, was named the crown prince.
The position of the crown prince of Dayin is not determined only by the order of the eldest and youngest, and the establishment of the prince is not simple.
The most unforgettable and horrifying thing is the "death of the son, the noble mother" system set by the ancestors-
Once the prince is made a prince, his biological mother must be given death immediately.
Yes, sometimes, the concubines who gave birth to the crown prince are not as good as those childless and unfavored concubines, after all, they are at least alive, and the crown prince's biological mother has nothing left except for a noble nickname.
Over time, even her children will completely forget about her.
Ruosheng didn't know much about the things in the palace, but she had heard some of the well-known things in the past. For example, the emperor's eldest son contracted smallpox when he was three years old, and his second son was the eldest grandson
At the age of five, he was made a prince, and three days later, his biological mother Yue Guifei was given poisonous wine.
People say that it was Concubine Yue who didn't want to die.
But she died after all, and the second son of the emperor, who was only five years old, lived in the East Palace for more than ten years.
Until two years ago, because the former prince made a terrible mistake, Emperor Jialong was furious, and he immediately ordered to seize the position of the crown prince of the East Palace. However, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, and Emperor Jialong saved the prince's life in the end. He was only degraded as a commoner and exiled to the Western Wilderness.
However, the west is extremely deserted, with many winds and sands along the way, few people, and the environment is extremely harsh, which can be called bitter cold.
The first prince had never suffered such a hardship, and halfway to the west, he fell seriously ill, and because the people around him were not attentive enough, he fell ill. It didn't take long for him to die.
Later, some people said that it was an epidemic, and as soon as the prince left, people in the accompanying team began to be infected one after another.
One passed on one by one, and in the end none of them were alive.
The crown princess was pregnant with Liujia and died on the way to the west.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Jialong regretted it.
But it's too late to regret it.
His spirit gradually weakened, and he has only gotten better in recent days, and he will occasionally summon Mrs. Yun Zhen into the palace to talk, as if gossiping is commonplace. Talk about the children, or reminisce about the past.
"It's a pity......" Xu was mentioning the deceased former prince, and Mrs. Yun Zhen's voice became slightly low.
When he came back to his senses, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
It's a pity for the first prince. Or is it a pity that the unborn child in the crown princess's womb? Or is it a pity that the current prince is only worthy of marrying the daughter of the Duan family as the main concubine?
If you don't know, you can't guess your aunt's thoughts.
Fortunately, no one dared to say these words in front of her, and she didn't expect her to answer.
Sigh. Mrs. Yun Zhen did not say anything more.
The room was quiet, and for a moment I heard only the sound of lights crackling and exploding.
Suddenly, Mrs. Yun Zhen raised her voice and called someone to come in and serve tea.
She is used to drinking Wuyi tea. Ruosheng didn't dare to drink it, because the tea soup was thick and bitter, like taking medicine, and if she couldn't wait for the sweetness, she would be bitter to death first.
If you eat Longjing tea raw, Mrs. Yun Zhen thinks that Longjing is thin and tasteful, so she doesn't like it.
The aunt and nephew have completely different preferences when it comes to eating tea.
Mrs. Yun Zhen asked her to make a cup of Wuyi tea, Ruosheng lowered her head and sniffed, only holding it still, and the corner of her eyes looked at the young man who was slowly withdrawing in the corner.
Yuyin and Lu Youyun ......
The fingers attached to the white porcelain teacup tightened, and she said "Huh": "Auntie, I met someone I didn't expect at the Duan family today. β
"Who is it?"
"Lu Xiang's eldest daughter, Lu Youyun." Ruosheng looked up at Mrs. Yun Zhen, "She looked quite kind, and said a few words, as if she was in love, and took the initiative to invite me to be a guest." β
"Lu Xiang, but he is an amazing person." Mrs. Yun Zhen smiled meaningfully, "His daughter must be no worse." β
Ruosheng said: "The fourth aunt's maiden family is close to Lu Xiang? β
Mrs. Yun Zhen smiled: "Lu Xiang's deceased wife is the daughter of the Lin family, but Mrs. Lu died early, and her death was not honorable, and the two families did not move much, why did you ask about this?" β
"......" Ruosheng was stunned and lowered her head and took a sip of the tea in the cup, there was such a relationship here, she didn't know anything about it. After thinking about it, she drank too much tea without paying attention, and she frowned and pursed her lips and couldn't speak.
This tea is stronger, and my aunt has to let people boil it thicker, which is really no different from medicine.
She wolfishly put down the teacup in her hand to the side, and squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "I heard some broken words, and I happened to think of it, so I asked you." β
"It's like your father, I can't get used to this." Mrs. Yun Zhen didn't ask much when she heard this, she took a sip of tea and shook her head and chuckled, "Speaking of which, your third uncle is not used to drinking Wuyi tea, and no one in this family knows how to eat tea." As she spoke, she suddenly asked Ruosheng: "What happened in Pingzhou?" β
Ruosheng asked Mrs. Yun Zhen's mother Dou to help her ask her third uncle to send someone to Pingzhou, she had thought that her aunt would ask, but she didn't want to ask.
Fortunately, she said the same set of rhetoric to the third uncle, and she will continue to take it out and tell her aunt.
Mrs. Yun Zhen didn't say much after listening, but said: "Since the people have been sent out, let's continue to look for it, it is not difficult to turn over the bottom of such a big place as Pingzhou." β
Ruosheng's heart was slightly relieved when he heard this, and even the bitter taste in his mouth seemed to have gone away, as if there was really a lingering sweetness on the tip of his tongue, fragrant and fragrant.
She blinked and said, "Auntie, when it comes to this, you can go back and assign me a few people to use it." (To be continued......)
