Xiaoyue carried out the family law in the second gate, and beat the two rough girls with ten boards each, and Ye Yichen saw it when he came back. Ye Yichen thought about it and didn't ask after all. It is Yulan's responsibility to manage the inner house, and Yulan doesn't think about how important the affairs of the inner house are, and Ye Yichen doesn't look at it even more.

He can't be busy with the affairs outside, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the inner house, not to mention that if he interferes in the affairs of the inner house, it is meddling in Yulan's purview, which is a bit overstepping.

He believes in Yulan's character, so he will toss with him.

Xiaoyue finished her errand, and wanted to come back to report to Yulan, but when she saw Ye Yichen in the house, she didn't enter the house. The next morning, when Ye Yichen went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Xiaoyue came into the house and drove away the girl in the house, Yulan glanced at her and asked, "It's all done?" ”

Xiaoyue nodded: "The two little girls have been driven away, and the mother-in-law in charge has also been punished!" The slave maid passed on a few big girls who had a good relationship and asked, and the princess dealt with these few people who didn't understand the rules, and the house was much quieter! During this time, Xiaoyue, under Yulan's instructions, had a good relationship with several daughters-in-law and girls in the house, and many news in the house could be known in time.

Yulan stuffed a clove of tangerines into her mouth, and asked her with a smile: "Then have you found out the clue?" Who is saying bad things about me behind my back, and who is adding fuel to the fire? ”

Xiaoyue felt a lot of pressure for a while, in this kind of populous mansion, rumors are the easiest to breed and spread, how easy it is to find out who is behind the scenes! Xiaoyue gritted her teeth: "Give the slave a little more time, and the slave will definitely be able to find out this matter clearly!" ”

Yulan nodded: "You go, how much can you find out." Within three days, give me an explanation! "Asking Xiaoyue to do these things is also to train her, just like Mother Qian, Yulan is tired to death.

Xiaoyue saluted and turned to go down, and Yulan called a little girl who passed the word and said, "Go and pass the red-sleeved girl in!" ”

Yesterday, Yulan sent down two mouthy and tongue-in-law girls on the second door, and called the girls and mothers-in-law of the house to see, there was already a sense of deterrence and charm in it, the rumors about the princess in the past two days, Red Sleeves also heard a lot, and it was inevitable that she was a little worried in her heart, and Yulan called her over She had a little drum in her heart.

It wouldn't be doubting her rhythm, would it? She really regretted it now, she shouldn't have fought with the princess like that when she first entered the palace. This princess looked kind, and the time of the council housekeeper on weekdays was not a little less than that of the white princess in front of her.

But I don't know what's going on, the prince likes her, and many of the originally unruly subordinates in the house have slowly leaned over. What kind of means did she use, and Red Sleeves didn't even understand it, how could this kind of ability not make her frightened. Since the prince of Zhilu Dao even sent his own deed to her, Red Sleeves is really much more honest, to say that she is not convinced by Yulan, but she really doesn't dare to act rashly. This rumor has nothing to do with her.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw that Yulan's face was fine, and the red sleeves finally let go of most of his worries. After seeing the ceremony, Yulan didn't mention the rumors, but just ordered: "Seeing that it is the Midyear Festival, it is a big deal to go to the various houses to pay tribute." I asked the housekeeper's mother, in previous years, the gift list was decided by you and the eldest grandmother, and this year you are also wasted, first draw up the list and show it to me! I'll revise it as I see fit! ”

Red Sleeves was stunned when she heard this, Yulan didn't wait for her to raise objections, and then said: "You compared last year's gift list and gave you three days, is it enough?" ”

It is very difficult to say that the matter of going to the salute is very complicated, because this year's princess is the princess Yulan, and even if the red sleeves are so tired that they vomit blood, the credit is also the princess of the other family. Red Sleeves really didn't want to do it.

Yulan seemed to see through her thoughts, and said lightly: "I also saw that you have followed the prince for so many years and done old things, so I handed over such an important thing to you to do." You just have to do it well, and if you do it well, I will naturally reward you. But if something goes wrong, then you will not lose your own face, but also the face of our prince, and the face of our palace, and you will weigh what the consequences will be at that time! ”

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the red sleeves, and he said: "The slave and maid should do their best!" ”

Yulan smiled and said, "Very good!" She took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I'm not the one who waits for a small belly." If I wanted to send you, I would have done it a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now, and I didn't see how pleasing you were when I opened the skylight and said bright words, but I felt that you had been waiting for the prince for so many years, and there was no merit and hard work, so I didn't want to meet you in general! ”

Red Sleeves lowered his head and said nothing. She really understood the methods of this princess. Knowing that Lu Dao had caused her a lot of stumbling blocks, she still used herself boldly and confidently, letting herself help her take care of the entire inner courtyard of the palace, and often asked herself to come to the main courtyard, so she was not afraid that she would take the opportunity to see Ye Yichen.

Red Sleeves thought she had some conspiracy in it at first, but after a long time, she finally understood, people just have that confidence, that is, they have that self-confidence, that is, they believe that they can hold the heart of the prince, even if you swagger in front of the prince, it is useless!

And the prince is really good to her.

Just as Yulan said, Yulan really wants to clean her up, the evidence in her hand is ready-made, and she can be sent away at any time. Yulan didn't move her, it was really for the sake of the prince's face.

At that moment, Red Sleeves thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. She knelt down on her knees: "In the past, the slave maid was blinded by lard, so that she would compete with the princess like that, your lord has a lot of disagreements with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are grateful, and from now on they will definitely change their past mistakes and serve the princess well!" In the past, please forgive the princess! He kowtowed.

Yulan waited for her to kowtow three times, and then asked the girl to help her up. She smiled faintly: "Very good, you are sensible." Follow me and do a good job, and I will naturally not treat you badly. Your future way out, I will naturally arrange it for you! ”

What Red Sleeves meant just now was to submit a petition to her, and Yulan reciprocated the favor and told her: Don't worry about following sister, sister will at least let you drink soup if you eat meat, although you can't be with the prince anymore, sister will pick a good family for you.

Red Sleeves bowed his head respectfully and said, "Thank you, Princess!" ”

Yulan waved his hand; "If it's okay, you can go down and draw up a gift list!" Red Sleeves just went.

Xiaoyu saw that the tea on Yulan's table was a little cold, so she changed a cup of hot one for her, and said softly: "Why is the princess so kind to this little hoof!" ”

Yulan smiled slightly: "After all, she is the person next to the prince, she really sent her down, and the prince's face is not good-looking, isn't this very good, and there are people who help us work, why not do it!" "To be honest, Red Sleeves is still quite capable, she is busy with her mother's affairs for a while, entrusting the housework to Qi and Red Sleeves, although Qi is a leader, in fact, it is Red Sleeves who really plays a leading role. She can handle the thousands of affairs of a huge palace in an orderly manner, and now it is proper to be a general manager.

The master and servant were talking, and the little girl came in and said, "Back to the princess, the daughter of the Jinyi guard who commanded Master Ma is here, and she has already entered the palace." ”

Yulan asked someone to send a letter to Ma Yunniang yesterday, asking her to come to the palace today as a guest, and Ma Yunniang immediately sent her mother-in-law over, saying that she would definitely arrive today. Sure enough, here it was. Yulan had already prepared everything, got up and said, "Let's go and welcome Miss Ma!" ”

The area of the palace is very large, and the distance from the main courtyard to the second gate is very far, and Yulan usually has a frame in the inner courtyard. Yulan got into the car and arrived at the second gate within a while, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Ma Yunniang also came. Seeing Yulan personally greet him at the second gate, he couldn't help but be very moved: "It's really a sin and a sin for the princess of labor to greet her personally!" ”

Yulan stepped forward with a smile and took her hand and said, "What princess is not a princess, I treat you as a good friend, we are still the same as before!" ”

Although Ma Yunniang is also considered to be a beautiful girl, her father and brother are both military generals, and they are favored at home, so they are a little lively in their gentle temperament, she was still a little nervous before she came, and now she is slowly relaxed when she sees Yulan.

Yulan took her hand and let her get into her carriage, walking towards the main house while pointing out the layout and architecture of the palace. Ma Yunniang had never seen such a magnificent architectural complex, and when she saw the magnificence of the palace, she was extremely envious for a while.

When she arrived at the main room, Yulan invited Ma Yunniang into the flower hall, and the people brought all kinds of exquisite tea and fruit snacks, which were very exquisite, Ma Yunniang picked up a piece and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise it: "This dim sum is so delicious, it won't be made by the imperial chef in the palace, right?" ”

Yulan smiled and nodded: "If you like it, go back and ask them to make more for you to bring back!" "The small kitchens waiting for Ye Yichen are all the imperial kitchens in the palace, and Yulan eats the food they cook every day, and he doesn't feel anything anymore. Ma Yunniang's face was full of envy.

The imperial chef is the one who cooks for the emperor!

Ma Yunniang said: "I really didn't expect that one day you would be a princess!" She and Yulan gossiped for a while, and when she saw that after Yulan became the princess, her attitude towards her was exactly the same as before, so she relaxed. The two talked happily, and Ma Yunniang quickly regained the feeling she had when she got along with Yulan before.

Yulan blinked: "I didn't expect it either!" After a pause, Yulan said: "I heard that you have already made a marriage, and you won't tell me!" ”

Ma Yunniang sighed: "I don't have the blessing of you, I can marry someone like the prince, and I have no in-laws, no concubines, and I will be the master of the house when I marry." My father didn't know what Lu Dao thought, so he hurriedly set me a marriage, and the man was not in the capital! For this matter, my mother and my father had a very big quarrel, my father used to listen to my mother, but this time he insisted on marrying me! ”

Yulan was slightly stunned when she heard this: "Who is the man?" ”

Ma Yunniang smacked her and said, "How can you ask other girls like that?" ”

Yulan said with a smile; "Don't tell me you don't know what to do!"

Ma Yunniang squirmed for a long time, lowered her head, and said with a blushing face: "He is the son of the political envoy of Henan, and he has a reputation for lifting people!" ”

Yulan nodded and said, "It's a good family business!" "The political envoy is a member of the three grades, and the status of civil officials is higher than that of military officials, and it is very hard for Master Ma to find such a family affair for Ma Yunniang.

Ma Yunniang said sadly: "My father decided to marry me out at the end of the year!" I won't be allowed to live the New Year! ”

Yulan was stunned and said, "So urgent! "Generally, everyone is married, and it takes at least a year to complete the six ceremonies according to the rules until they get married. It's only four months until the end of the year, which is a bit too rushed. No wonder Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma quarrel at home.

Forget about marrying your daughter outside Beijing, and marry so urgently!

This rain is really a little surprising. Could it be that Master Ma was afraid of getting involved in the dispute between the crown prince and King Zhao, so he married his daughter outside? So what's the reason for being in such a hurry?

Yulan had no choice but to persuade: "Your father and your brother love you so much, they will never harm you." ”

Ma Yunniang nodded, and said with some interest: "Marry and marry, I'm just a little reluctant to leave my father and mother, reluctant to leave here!" ”

Yulan comforted: "When your future father-in-law goes one step further and becomes the head of the sixth department as a squire, you can follow the scenery back to Beijing!" ”

Ma Yunniang said: "I hope so!" She paused, and suddenly said, "I heard that your cousin has appointed Miss Hubu Shangshu Mansion this time, there should be no change this time, right?" ”

Yulan didn't expect that Ma Yunniang was still concerned about Ye Yichen's marriage. Thinking of the woman's marriage at this time, she couldn't get the slightest idea, so she could only sigh: "Although my cousin is good, he is not your lover!" ”

Ye Yichen came back in the evening, the two went to bed early after eating, and after a harmonious meal, Yulan suddenly asked him: "Is the emperor's health not very good?" ”

Ye Yichen said, "How do you know the Dao?" ”

Yulan told Ma Yunniang about her visit today. The most Lu said: "Master Ma married Yun Niang to Zhengzhou, probably to avoid the dispute between the prince and King Zhao, this is easy to understand, but he is so anxious to let Yun Niang marry, I can't figure out why Lu?" Master Ma is a believer next to the emperor, I wonder if he will know that the emperor's health is not good, and he is afraid that Yun Niang will be in such a hurry to marry her out! ”

Ye Yichen said lightly: "The emperor has recently favored Zhang Daochang of the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect. Zhang Daochang's best thing is alchemy and mercury burning! ”

Yulan understood as soon as he heard it: "You mean, the old Tao of Longhu Mountain refined that kind of medicine for the emperor?" "I've watched this kind of episode on TV a lot before, but I didn't expect it to really exist in reality.

Ye Yichen nodded; The Xiao family continued to purchase stunning beauties everywhere to give to the emperor, and the emperor's body was already empty, but he still took this kind of tiger wave medicine every day. A few days ago, he was still connected to the fourth daughter with the support of medicinal power, I think he has really lived enough! ”

Yulan was taken aback, and it took a long time before he exhaled and said, "The Xiao family is going to kill the emperor at this time!" ”

Ye Yichen sneered: "If you want to kill the emperor, how can it be the Xiao family?" ”

Yuqing Palace, early in the morning, Yuxia dressed up flowers and branches came to the main hall to greet Yuxin, the concubine. In the past few days, the prince has been resting in her room, and she sent the prince away every day to come to see Yuxin, not so much to say goodbye, but to say that she is angry Yuxin.

After a while, the green branch walked out: "The prince and concubine, please go back, the mother is unwell, today's please be exempt!" ”

For several days, Yuxin was closed to customers, but Yuxia held back her energy, but she had nowhere to sprinkle, and her whole body was really uncomfortable. At this time, he said: "Niangniang is sick, I, the crown princess, should naturally serve in front of Niangniang's bed, you go in again to report, and say that the concubine wants to see Niangniang!" "For so many days, except for the day when the crown prince and concubine were crowned, she went to the main hall to give Yuxin a bowl of tea, and she never saw Yuxin's face again.

Lu Zhi sneered: "You just need to wait for the good prince, Niangniang, there are palace maids and grandmothers here, and there are eunuchs no matter how bad you are, where do you need to find your big driver!" The slave has already said that the mother doesn't want to see you, and it will be the same no matter how many times you report it. You'd better go back! ”

Yuxia saw that it didn't make sense, so she had to snort, turn around and leave. As soon as I returned to the side hall, I saw a grandmother walking in with a little palace maid, who was holding a bowl of black decoction in her hand.

Yuxia's face changed suddenly. The grandmother gave Yuxia a salute and said politely: "Please drink this decoction!" ”

Yuxia picked up the medicine bowl, closed her eyes, and was about to drink it in one gulp, but the pungent smell of medicine rushed into her nostrils, and Yuxia suddenly exploded: "What the hell is this, why do you want me to drink this every day?" I don't drink! I don't drink! ”

She smashed the medicine bowl to the ground.

The old lady is the one who does the old errand, and she is not ashamed or annoyed when she sees this situation, but she just looks at Yuxia very calmly and says: "The old slave is also on an errand, please don't embarrass the old slave." ”

She didn't talk nonsense, just waved her hand, and immediately walked in two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists, Yuxia couldn't help but be startled when she saw it: "What are you going to do?" ”

The woman said: "If the noble man refuses to drink it himself, the old slave can only find someone to help you!" ”

Yuxia screamed: "I am the crown princess of the queen's own concubine, the prince rests in my palace every night, how dare you dog slaves do this to me?" ”

The old lady smiled faintly, and her words were full of sarcasm: "It's because the prince rests in your room every night that you can't help but drink this child-avoiding soup!" As for you saying that you are the queen's own seal, the old slave is not talented, it was sent by the queen mother herself, you will not forget too much, forget about it so quickly! Yuxia entered the East Palace in this way, the purpose was to succeed, how could the queen treat her, the queen didn't want to see her, and the old lady sent by the queen naturally had to keep up with the master, which was doubly unwelcome.

The old lady waved her hand impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't help the nobleman drink the medicine, we can go back and pay off!" ”

The two mothers-in-law walked in one left and one right, grabbed Yuxia's two arms, and the little girl came over with a bowl of soup and medicine, and poured it into Yuxia.

Until I was sure that Yuxia drank not a drop left. The old lady signaled the two mothers-in-law to let go of Yuxia, and she said lightly: "In this way, I won't disturb the nobles' rest, and the old slave will go to restore the princess's life, so I will leave!" "Then he took a few people out of the side hall.

Yuxia jumped behind and scolded: "You old immortal, you wait for me, sooner or later one day I will make your whole family die well!" ”

The old lady just sneered and muttered to herself: "When you become the crown princess, let's talk about it!" "The old lady has been in the palace for half her life, and in her opinion, Yuxia's hope of becoming the crown princess is 0.

It wasn't until the old lady walked away that Kumquat trembled and persuaded: "Master, don't scold, they are all gone!" "I can't hear any more scolding.

Yuxia waved her sleeves, swept the medicine bowl on the table to the ground, and gasped: "Sooner or later, one day, I will trample all these people who bully me and despise me under my feet!" ”

Kumquat persuaded: "Master, dissipate your anger!" She persuaded her for a long time, and Yuxia finally calmed down a little. She originally thought that everything would be fine when she became the crown princess, but who knew that Lu Dao was not as beautiful as she imagined. She had been fighting with Yuxin for so many years when she was at home, and she didn't think she was so powerful, but when she really arrived in the palace, she realized that Yuxin had the name of the crown princess, and it was too easy to clean her up.

On the day of the concubine, Yuxin went to the queen of Kunning Palace and begged two grandmothers of the seventh grade to come over. The reason is very sufficient: "The crown princess has just entered the palace, and she doesn't understand any rules, so she has to find two grandmothers to adjust and teach her!" "The queen has no good impression of Yuxia, so naturally she will not refute the face of the crown princess.

The old lady was one of them.

These two grandmothers taught her rules and etiquette every day. As long as she is a little wrong, Mama will not beat or punish her, but just ask her to kneel, and she will kneel for an hour or two, and she will kneel her legs completely unconscious. Yuxia has been pampered since she was a child, but she didn't expect to enter the East Palace of her dreams, and she was the first to be tortured like this, how can her heart be calm?

Not only that, on the day that Yuxia sealed the concubines, Yuxin promoted several concubines to be placed in several side halls of Yuqing Palace. All of them are young girls, and Yuxia realized that it is impossible to dominate the prince when she enters the East Palace.

She could only try her best to compete with these low-level concubines for favor. But she is still in her mother's filial piety, and it is said that although the prince welcomed her into the door, the husband and wife still cannot have sex together. Although no one dares to care behind closed doors, it's okay to sneak into the same room, but it won't look good if you get a child.

So Yuxia and those concubines compete for favor Yuxin doesn't care at all, she never asks someone to lead the prince to the main hall, and she doesn't care if the prince wants to sleep with Yuxia, anyway, after sleeping, she will definitely send her grandmother to send a bowl of avoidance soup. Yuxia cried in front of the prince about this, but the prince was on Yuxin's side, after all, the child was really made, and it was still the prince's face.

Yuxia found that she had entered a dead end, if she didn't pull the prince to her palace for the night, it wouldn't be long before the prince could completely forget her, but if she pulled the prince over for the night, she would have to drink this shunzi soup every day, Yuxin didn't have to do anything in it at all, she drank it for a year and a half, and it was very likely that she wouldn't even be able to give birth to a child in the future!

Yuxia is about to go crazy, but she is in a dilemma, even if Yuxin digs a pit in front of her, she can only jump in without hesitation! She kept cursing, and Kumquat refused to listen to her persuasions. For a long time, I suddenly remembered something: "No, with Yuxin's little slut's temperament, how could she be afraid to meet me?" She's been refusing to see me for so long, there must be something going on here! ‘·
