When the prince left the palace, he didn't dare to delay, and rushed back to Tongzhou overnight. He vaguely remembered that the princess's sister was married to the son of Lord Niu in Beizhen, and the envoy in Beizhen was precisely the edict of Jinyiwei.

Although the prince was scolded by the emperor, Cheng Enbo couldn't help but rescue, and he did a lot of ** events through his uncle, for example, he bought a big house in the suburbs of Beijing, which was full of beauties, and there were many disgraces...... In case Cheng Enbo didn't open the door and say something, then the emperor would not be as simple as reprimanding a few words.

The prince then sent a close staff member to stay in Beijing and set up and down the division. He sent a little eunuch back to the East Palace, and brought a message to the crown princess, asking the princess to talk to her brother-in-law's family, and asking Lord Niu to take care of Cheng Enbo in prison.

The eunuch didn't dare to delay after getting the prince's order, and hurriedly returned to Yuqing Palace, and saw Yuxin asking the prince to say, although Yuxin and the prince are still short in time, but the palace is indeed a very exercise place, Yuxin has been thinking a lot now.

Now, the prince's uncle has just been arrested and imprisoned, and the prince has been reprimanded by the emperor and has returned to Tongzhou without even returning to the East Palace. The emperor has been in a good mood these days, everyone in the palace has lowered his eyebrows and is pleasing to his eyes, and Yuxin feels that it is better to reduce his feelings. The idea of letting the eldest lady enter the palace just flashed and was extinguished by her. Finally, it was decided that after the palace gate was opened tomorrow, he would send Green Branch to Niufu to pass the news to Yufei.

On the second day, Green Branch left the Forbidden City and went to Niufu to see Yufei. After a while, a little girl led the green branch in. In the main room, because it was still a national funeral, Yufei wore plain clothes, a silver hairpin on his head, and sat on the Taishi's chair to receive the green branch ceremony.

I haven't seen her for a while, Yufei's complexion is good, she has gained a little weight, her face is a little rounder, and she already has a little grandmother's bearing, and she is dressed as a woman and looks like a green branch and is uncomfortable for a while. After a few words, Yufei asked, "Is the crown princess in good health?" Are you still used to living in the palace? ”

Midoriwig replied respectfully; "The crown prince has gone to Tongzhou on an errand now, and the crown princess has stayed in the East Palace, everything is fine!"

Yu Fei smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a sneer on her face: "Now that the eighth sister is the crown princess, she is extremely prominent, so naturally everything is fine!" The sour breath choked the green branches. She has been with Yuxin for more than ten years, and she knows a lot about the four girls and the eight girls, but when these four girls are in the house, they look down at everything when they are in the house, how can they marry out of the house and look like a different person?

Green Branch didn't say much, only told Yufei Yuxin's message. When Yufei heard this, he pondered for a moment before he said: "I'm a woman's family, and I shouldn't care about this kind of external affairs, but since the princess found me and has a sisterhood, I won't stand idly by. ”

After sending away the green branches, Yufei took the maid to the front study to find Niu Zheng in person. Niu Zheng's heart is quite a little uncomfortable, he was born in a family of military generals, but he doesn't like to dance guns and sticks, he has some talent in reading, and he was admitted to the examination at a young age, so he is very complacent, I thought that this year's spring will be on the gold list, and he will be an official in the court since then, but who knows the death of the queen mother, this year's spring will be canceled, Niu Zheng has been preparing for a long time, and there is no place to release it after saving up a breath. These days, it is the nose that is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes.

Yufei arrived at Niu Mansion, and her life was not comfortable, she originally thought that she was the granddaughter of Shoufu, and marrying Niu Zheng was a low marriage, and Niu Zheng was not allowed to hold her. Now that Lord Niu has not been transferred, her mother-in-law has a lot of complaints about her, and she is a little unhappy with the young grandmother, that is, the wife of the eldest young master of the Niu family, and Yufei's sister-in-law is quite discordant, and this day will not stop.

At the same time, Niu served as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu and married the daughter of the Guangxi General Army. Concubines are born to be a pair of enemies. Yufei married into the Niu family will inevitably be compared with the young grandmother, in terms of identity, she is a concubine, others are concubines, she was born in a prime minister's house, and her status is high, which can be regarded as making up for it. But as soon as the dowry was compared, she suffered a big loss.

It turned out that the general soldier of Guangxi made some money in office, so the eldest and youngest grandmothers had more than 100 marriages, which was very rich. Yufei's marriage is only sixty-four lifts, and many of them are still false, how can this matter be concealed from the woman in the back house. The eldest grandmother helped her mother-in-law manage the house, and she didn't stab her with this matter. Yufei's face is gone, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, so he is angry with the eldest wife.

Yufei saw that her husband cared for a few words, and told her not to study too hard, so as not to hurt her body, and then the two were relatively speechless. These days, Niu Zheng can't say anything good or bad about Yufei, and he can barely be regarded as respectful. Niu Zheng, as a literati, naturally likes the tunes of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and originally thought that Yufei, as the granddaughter of the first assistant, should be very good at this, but who knew that she didn't know anything, and Niu Zheng couldn't help but be disappointed.

After starting a sweet period of marriage, Niu Zheng and Yufei faded. Before getting married, Niu Zheng used two beautiful girls, one of whom was called Danxiang, who was not only beautiful and charming, but also quite poetic, Niu Zheng was quite fond of her, and always loved to rest in her room. Yufei was quite scared for a while.

It's just that these two girls have always been respectful to her on the surface, and she can't get any handles, because both of them are Mrs. Niu to her son, and Yufei is not easy to deal with.

She finally realized that she had no right to be a housekeeper, and she had no heirs, and it was not so easy for the Niu family to gain a firm foothold. She couldn't help but touch her flat lower abdomen. If only I could have a son! But the damn national mourning made her plan to go all in the soup.

Generally speaking, although it is a national funeral, the minister and his wife Yuanfang Emperor generally turn a blind eye, as long as they don't make too much trouble, no one cares, and secretly gives birth to a man and a woman, as long as they don't publicize themselves, there is no big hindrance, but the Niu family is different from other families. As a close confidant of the emperor, the Niu family must of course pay more attention to these aspects, so that Niu Zheng was like a prince during the national funeral, but he did not dare to have sex with his wife. If you have a physiological problem, you can only find Danxiang to solve it, and drink a bowl of avoidance soup afterwards. Yufei is really bitter and can't say it!

Thinking about her heart, Yu Fei finally told her husband about the princess's intention. Niu Zheng said: "Since the prince has ordered it like this, we naturally don't want to be lazy!" When my father left the office, I went to tell him in person. ”

The two politely said a few more words, and Yufei went back to the inner courtyard. Seeing his wife walking away, Niu Zheng had a sneer on his face. The prince didn't understand the situation, he thought that he was the prince and Lord Niu was a courtier, and it was not a matter of words for him to ask the courtiers to do things. Where do you know that the Niu family has no relationship with the Xiao family on the surface, but in fact has an extremely close relationship with the Xiao family. The Xiao family also threw an olive branch to this son of heaven, but Lord Niu swayed from side to side and kept undecided.

Of course, Niu Zheng knew this, but he didn't plan to tell Yufei. In the evening, when Lord Niu returned home, Niu Zheng told him about it. Lord Niu was also ridiculous when he heard it, the fact that the prince was too undisciplined. Before, Xiao Zongsheng also asked someone to come to him and told him to wait for Cheng Enbo. Lord Niu thought about it carefully, how to deal with it, it depends on the emperor's attitude!

On the other side, the green branch said goodbye to Yufei and came to Yang's mansion. Before leaving, Yuxin personally instructed Lu Zhi to take this opportunity to go back to Yang's Mansion and say hello to the old lady.

The Forbidden City Palace is strictly forbidden, and Green Branch is also the first time to go home after entering the palace, and when he arrived at the second gate of Yang's Mansion, he was a little emotional. When the old lady heard that Green Branch was back, she saw her in Songhetang in person.

When the green branch arrived at the Songhe Hall, I saw the old lady dressed neatly, sitting on the top, and her expression was still a little sad. The eldest wife, the second wife, the fifth wife, Yulan, and Yuqing are all there. After seeing the gift one by one, Yuxin brought gifts to everyone, the old lady and all the wives are all good tribute satin, the sisters are the palace imperial style palace flowers, and Chengzong and other brothers are one side of the inkstone.

The eldest lady was unable to enter the palace to see Yuxin last time due to illness, and now it is not so easy to enter the palace again, so she couldn't wait for the old lady to ask, so she asked Lu Zhi urgently: "Is Xin'er in the palace good?" ”

The second wife coughed lightly...... The old lady was still sitting on the head, and the eldest lady reacted and trespassed. Since the death of the Queen Mother, the eldest lady has felt that she has lost her big backer, and she has become more and more sensitive to these things. The old lady didn't pay attention to these subtleties, but just stared at the green branch and waited for her to speak.

Lu Zhi bowed his head and said, "The girl is fine, but I miss the old lady and the ladies, as well as the young master and the girls." Not long after the girl entered the palace, she is now catching up with the filial piety of the queen mother, and it is inconvenient to summon the family over. These are the emperor's and queen's rewards on weekdays, and the girl specially asked the slaves and maids to send them to the old lady and the ladies, and they are also tainted with royal blessings. ”

The old lady called Green Branch to her side, and asked Yuxin about her living and eating situation, and the relationship between the Eastern Prince and the people, and Green Branch replied one by one, of course, good news and not bad news.

Cheng Enbo's eldest wife heard about the emperor's imprisonment early in the morning, and at this time she couldn't help asking: "The prince's uncle was imprisoned by the emperor, has the emperor been angry with the prince and the princess?" Ever since she heard the news, the eldest lady was so nervous that she didn't sleep well all night. Of course, the reprimand of the prince in the emperor's palace is a secret within the palace, and the eldest lady has no way of knowing the way.

Green Branch said: "That's not true! Yesterday, the imperial dining room made a good snack, and the emperor also sent someone to reward the crown princess......"

The eldest lady patted her chest, chanted the Buddha again and again, and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

During this time, the old lady called Yulan to Songfeng Shushe to read the recitals whenever he was free, although he never mentioned to Yulan about the court once, Yulan gradually had a rough outline of these. I know that the eldest lady is still too naïve, ancient times was definitely not an era of fighting alone, it was easy to raid the family and exterminate the clan, and if something happened to one person, relatives would also be unlucky. What's more, everything that happened around the prince has far-reaching political significance, and the emperor will definitely eat and hang up if the emperor disregards the face of the prince and the queen and puts Cheng Enbo in prison. I just hope it doesn't affect Yuxin.

The old lady obviously understood the truth of this, and asked in detail. The old lady insisted on asking a few words, feeling a wave of tiredness coming, and the successive illnesses had already hurt her vitality. asked Xinghuang to reward the green branches, and asked her to go back to wait for Yuxin, so she waved her hand tiredly and said, "I'm a little tired, you all go down." ”

The eldest lady was about to take the green branch back to Yining Ju to ask questions, so she took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye. The second wife said: "The old lady looks bad at you, but what is wrong, do you want your daughter-in-law to ask someone to invite the doctor to come and take a look?" ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "That's it! It's not a big deal, I'm just a little tired, just take a break, and you don't have to look for a doctor. You all go and get busy, just leave me with a few verses to read! ”

Yulan waited for her grandmother in front of her bed every day, and everyone in the family looked at her, and no one was too careful, so everyone gave a salute and retreated.

When everyone was gone, Yulan and Xinghuang helped the old lady into the inner room, took off the hairpin ring on their heads, and removed the clothes on their bodies, the old lady lay on the kang, Yulan knelt on the bed and stepped on the foot, and said softly: "Old lady, you take a rest first, and when you wake up, your granddaughter will read the scriptures to you, okay?" ”

The old lady waved her hand, closed her eyes for a while, then opened her eyes, looked at Yulan and said, "Girl, you went to Yuqing Palace a few days ago, you told your grandmother, is Xin'er good?" ”

"Grandmother forgives her sins, it's not that your granddaughter deliberately hides it from you, but she actually sees her grandmother holding her body, and I'm afraid that you will get angry when you hear the news......"

The old lady interrupted her and said, "You don't have to say more about these words, I know that you have always been filial, and you only tell me how Xin'er is now!" ”

Yulan had to talk about the situation that Yuxin was facing. The old lady sighed after hearing this: "Xin'er, this child, it's really hard for her." When the eldest daughter-in-law wanted to marry her into the palace, I just didn't approve of it, but I didn't think that things had come to this point, hey, ...... "I feel sorry for my granddaughter: "The East Palace is not like ordinary people, I can't hold down the position of Xin Yatou after all, let's go, tomorrow I will call Su's mother into the palace to wait for the princess, with her side to mention it, my heart can be put down!" ”

Yulan was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother, Mother Su is a person you are used to, and you can't leave for a moment, what should you do if you give it to your eighth sister?" Besides, at this time, the Queen Mother has just gone, and the war outside is unfavorable, so it is better to be still......"

Only then did the old lady react: "I'm old and confused, it's really not good to stuff people in the palace at this time!" ”

"Grandmother, I know that you love your eighth sister, but the days are her own, we are relatives, it's okay to be a reminder, but it's impossible to think of everything for her. Whether you can gain a foothold in the palace or not depends on the eighth sister herself! I see that the eighth sister has grown a lot. I shouldn't speak, after all, she is the daughter of the Yang Mansion, and now when the prince is still able to use the Yang family, it will not be bad to treat the eighth sister, don't you say? ”

The old lady thought about it for a long time, and finally dispelled the idea of giving Su's mother to Yuxin. "It's rare that you can have this insight! I'm getting old after all! "After all, it's already old.

Yulan comforted her a few more words. The old lady felt something, and suddenly said: "Lan girl, if you feel that the child of the Xie family has wronged you, just tell your grandmother, grandmother will always let you find a satisfactory gentleman!" Grandmother must not tell you to follow in Xin'er's footsteps again! ”

Hearing this, somehow a sour feeling surged in Yulan's heart, and the lonely and indifferent man filled his entire chest in an instant, and every time he met, he recalled it countless times in his heart. But a dignified prince, even if he has now become a widower, he is also a hot widower in Dachu, will he look at his background like this? Yulan laughed self-deprecatingly, this obsession was just nothingness after all, and even thinking about it made her feel very funny. What's more, the royal family is intriguing, she has really seen enough, and she doesn't want to get involved! Forget it, love is too extravagant, I can't afford it!

There were some words that Yulan couldn't say, so she only spoke: "Grandmother, everything is fine with the Xie family, and the granddaughter is willing!" ”
