The recent years are not good for everything is not going well, Bo Wanghou can't suppress the anger in his heart, first the court officials have been transferred, the five southwest provinces are frequently transferred, people who don't know the details look at it but it is also ordinary, Bo Wanghou is shocked, this transfer is aimed at the Zhao family, there are many changes in the civil officials above the five grades with the background of the Zhao family, and the network of the Zhao family's painstaking operation is disrupted.

Lu Yufeng has been guarding Guangxi for more than ten years, and the emperor's grace is mighty, and this time he also got the opportunity to be promoted, so he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

Bo Wanghou's face is very unsightly, Guangxi's piece of living water and wealth is widely implicated, which really makes the court find out the clues, and the Zhao family's century-old foundation is over, and now this kind of situation is very unfavorable to the Zhao family, and the court is staring at it.

On an evening when dark clouds covered the moon, the king of Yanci and the marquis of Bowang met at the Tongzhou Manor.

"What should we do now?"

Yanci's concubine Xiao Shuhui is not quiet in her heart, she is the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, when she first got married, she won the favor of her in-laws, because she couldn't give birth to a son, and gradually faded out of the family center, Yanci County King took a family to live in the fiefdom, and the prince stayed in the palace of the capital, Xiao Shuhui held several flower-viewing banquets at this time of year.

The weather in the winter moon is over, the flowers are withering outside, and the flowers are blooming in the greenhouse of the palace, and there are all kinds of seasonal flowers.

Xiao Shuhui was busy socializing, held several flower viewing parties, composed poems and sang and, she didn't know what the situation was, she only knew that the old county king's temper was getting more and more irritable, the Zhao family is now out of power, their family and the Zhao family have a lot of involvement, at this critical juncture, it is her responsibility as the eldest son and daughter-in-law to show her ease and comfort.

One is prosperous, one is lost, and this big tree is still flourishing, and the roots are rotten.

The old princess came back with the third lady today, Xiao Shuhui waited in the Yan Tower, waited for more than an hour, the old princess's car finally arrived at the gate, Xiao Shuhui hurriedly led someone to meet her, personally helped the old princess get out of the car, and a beauty also came down from the car behind, the third lady Li Yurong was wearing a red satin cloak, carefully protecting her stomach, and shouted a sister-in-law with a smile.

Xiao Shuhui helped the old princess to greet Yinyin, the old princess also smiled, and sat in a soft sedan chair by her service, and the third lady Li Shiyurong smiled on the side, "Sister-in-law has worked hard to do some housework." ”

Xiao Shuhui said with a smile, "My younger siblings are working harder and harder to serve my mother-in-law. ”

The maids and servants hugged into the inner courtyard, set up a wine banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, the Li family was decent in front of the old princess, the old princess took pity on her for being pregnant, and exempted her from serving, only Xiao Shuhui clothed the vegetables, and after the meal, sent the Li family down to rest first, and the old princess dismissed the maids around her and grabbed Xiao Shuhui, "My son, have you heard anything in the capital?" ”

Xiao Shuhui said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law heard an interesting story, the Qiu family has become more and more famous in the past two or three months, it is Qiu Daring Qiu Yihai who was on the original book, Qiu Daring just put it home not long ago, the old kiln. Bustard. The son came to the door to spend wine and silver, but it was owed by his grandson, and within two days his fifth son's concubine hit the door again, and a mother-in-law led her daughter to the door to recognize her relatives, saying that it was the flesh and blood of the old man Qiu, and the illegitimate son of the Qiu family more than 30 years ago, and the people who came to the door to gamble debts, and the money that put the seal also hit the door, and it was true that the old man Qiu was half dead in anger, but he couldn't die, the head of the Qiu family was very afraid of being implicated, and he had been removed from the family, and his family couldn't go back to his hometown, and the court said that the Qiu family was immoral and ordered to return to his hometown. ”

The old princess sighed, "I heard this on the road, there is a way out of the story, and there is inevitably a fuel behind it, and the Qiu family is completely finished." ”

The Qiu family is not even a periphery, just following the trend of waving flags and shouting, and the old princess doesn't care.

"The wind is very tight right now, you are guarding the capital, you have to be clear-eyed, what is the young lady of the Fang family doing in Jiangnan, what is one of her married daughters doing with the injury of Marquis Li, my son, have you paid attention."

Xiao Shuhui also lowered her voice, "The daughter-in-law first only heard that Mrs. Li was going to Jiangnan, and ordered someone to send Lu Yi silver, and then inquired that the emperor secretly summoned Mrs. Fang Shao, and the prince's original servants all followed Mrs. Fang Shao, and the prince returned to that small courtyard to spend most of the day, on the surface, the prince set up a school there and met a few people. ”

The old princess held her hand tightly, pondered for a while, and then said Li Yurong, "The sick and crooked one of the Liu family is now recuperating in Zhuangzi, your third brother and sister are the nominal sister of the prince, and if you are pregnant, if you give birth to a son, you will inherit it in your name, and your third brother and sister are also willing, the title of viscount has been inherited, and you also have a backer." ”

Xiao Shuhui's face turned a little pale, "Thank you mother-in-law for your pity, my daughter-in-law is incompetent and failed to help my husband pass the incense." ”

The old princess patted her shoulder and sighed, "You are acting in an atmospheric manner, that Li family is a small family, and has a foxy face, for the sake of the prince's face, your father and I can only lift her, and this family can only be relieved if it is handed over to your old prince." ”

Xiao Shuhui burst into tears, and she had to say some heartfelt words, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law played a mother-daughter relationship.

The old princess Yanci has not been to the capital for two years, she wants to see her granddaughter first, the Zhao family has lost power, Lu Yan'er has not seen her husband yet, the old princess wants to take her granddaughter back to live for a few days, and she sent someone to deliver a letter early in the morning, Lu Yan'er came back dressed up, and saw her grandmother throw herself into her arms and cry bitterly.

The old lady hugged her granddaughter in tears and persuaded, "It is said that Hongyi is a good one, and he is married by the Queen Mother, how decent is it, how can I think there will be these changes." ”

Lu Yan'er was so hateful that her eyes erupted with fire, she didn't even call her aunt anymore, she pointed at Xiao Shuhui and scolded, "You vicious woman, you are all stirred up, if you weren't for your courtesy in front of the Queen Mother, how would the Queen Mother give me a marriage, I would have married Brother Shen a long time ago, my grandfather wanted me to marry Brother Shen, you broke us up for your daughter, and your daughter couldn't marry the prince!" ”

Men and women with the same surname are not married, and I didn't expect Brother Shen's identity at the beginning.

The old princess still wants to save face for her daughter-in-law, seeing Lu Yan'er crying sadly, the old princess hurriedly coaxed her, "Don't say these words anymore, you are the wife of the Zhao family, this is a certainty, Zhao Hongyi has made great contributions at a young age, how good is this husband, will he come back sooner or later?" ”

Lu Yan'er almost beat her aunt, what is so good about Zhao Hongyi, just a martial artist, where can he compare to His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Shen, who was haunted by her dreams, felt that he was extraordinary at the time, and he was really a natural dragon species, and the girl was a woman in name, but she was a virgin. The woman's body is still thinking about it.

Lu Yan'er was willing to listen to Li Yurong, and the old lady asked the Li family to persuade her to stay with her granddaughter for a few more days.

In the exquisite bronze mirror is a somewhat tired goose egg face, the eyes are still bright, and there are fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, Xiao Shuhui is not young anymore, she retains the tail of youth when she is well maintained, and she looks graceful and atmospheric under the careful dress, Xiao Shuhui has been tormented in her heart for the past few days, her mother-in-law came from the fiefdom, Li Yurong called her sister-in-law with a concubine, and her niece resented her and hated her.

These can be endured, she can't tolerate the idea of her family beating her daughter!

The maid came in and whispered, "Juan Bi came to look for the slave and maid, and talked to the slave and maid, the third lady is really bold." ”

Juan Bi is the maid of the third lady Li Shiyurong, and she is the eyeliner sent by Xiao Shuhui in the past.

"The third lady is there to bewitch Miss Table, saying that it will be a banquet in the palace for two days, looking for an opportunity to meet the prince, and saying that it will lead people to break through when the time comes, and the prince can't help but accept Miss Table, anyway, he and Zhao Hongyi don't have a hole room."

Xiao Shuhui shivered excitedly, and Li Yurong thought she was doing something.

"Give her a piece of silver, and let her say something quickly."

The maid said yes and went out, Xiao Shuhui twisted her hands together, what should she do?

It has been more than ten years since I married into the Yanci Palace, and I have enjoyed many blessings, the ambition of the old prince of Yanci, those things in secret, there are some shadows over the years, the old prince has a heart of disobedience, and Xiao Shuhui does not want to accompany the funeral.

She doesn't even have a son, so she shouldn't have mixed in this troubled water.

Daughter Yuanyuan is the root of her life, she was stupid to succeed Li Yurong's son, Li Yurong's son has not been born yet, and her tail has been cocked to the sky, a sister-in-law, I bah! The thing that is a concubine, a calculated idiot, and proudly wants to be a matchmaker for Yuanyuan, even regardless of seniority, what is he like to be a brother, the little fart child has the name of a son.

Xiao Shuhui's face became more and more pale, and her eyes were dark in the bronze mirror, it was time to make a choice.

If their mother and daughter can surrender, Yuanyuan's can keep safe, otherwise the father-in-law's plot will be exposed, and the whole family will behead the nine clans, she will have no escape, and Yuanyuan will die without a place to be buried, even if the father-in-law succeeds, can their mother and daughter be better, women have no sons, and it is useless to say anything.

Xiao Shuhui thought of the prince again, Brother Shen, who is a big ghost, and now Zhou Yun, who playfully said that he would be her guest of the scene, but returned the letterhead that could put her to death, the daughter and the brother and sister in the prince's name, if Yuanyuan can be pardoned by the prince, she can rest assured when she dies.

After thinking about it all night, knowing some secrets intentionally or unintentionally over the years, Xiao Shuhui made up her mind that she would exchange the secrets she knew for the safety of her mother and daughter.

In the morning, I asked my mother-in-law to say goodbye, Xiao Shuhui said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law wants to hand over the sign to the palace today, and ask the queen to go to the palace." ”

The old lady knew that she missed her daughter, and after thinking about it, she smiled and said, "It's time for the old body to say goodbye to the queen's mother, let's go with our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and you can also take a look at Yuanyuan." ”

Xiao Shuhui served her mother-in-law to change her clothes, and Li Yurong heard that she was going too, and she also wanted to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.

Xiao Shuhui covered her mouth and smiled, "How busy is His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid the third brother and sister won't have a chance to meet." ”

Li Yurong said with a smile, "I have a different relationship with the prince, the princess is my sister, I always ask to see the capital once I have all the courtesies, otherwise the prince will say that my third sister doesn't understand the rules." ”

The old princess also looked forward to the Li family being able to have a relationship with the prince, so she took her with her, and Lu Yan'er also wanted to ask the queen mother for peace, so Xiao Shuhui helped the old lady to sit in a car, and Li and Lu Yan'er took a car.

The queen saw the sign asking for a meeting, and nodded and invited them in. R1152
