Chapter 229
In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Zhenwen did not enter the palace much.
It's just that this matter can be big or small, she doesn't dare to ignore it, and as soon as she knows about it, she will enter the palace.
"This is a letter from my sister-in-law who came to report it to me." Their eldest brother didn't plan to say anything to the crown princess at all.
But come to think of it, even people have to accept it, and there is nothing he can't do.
The eldest brother of the crown princess, Na Yiliang, was a maidservant who was a concubine, and it was really embarrassing to say this.
Liu Zhenji also had a head blanket when he heard this, "How did this happen?" ”
Their eldest brother was confused, but over the years, he can still see it clearly.
"My sister-in-law said that I have to accept it." Liu Zhenwen said that her eyes were a little red, "My sister-in-law can't do anything about him, the eldest brother also told his mother about this first, saying that he is a prosperous man and has saved his life." ”
"Still?" Yoo Jung-gil's expression was pale.
"This matter, I don't know if it's true or not, I don't know what the eldest brother told her, anyway, my mother has already responded, my mother doesn't know that the princess of the Yiliang country is here to dedicate it to the prince, she only thinks that the eldest brother has taken a fancy to the people from foreign countries who come to pay tribute." On the one hand, Liu Zhenwen hated her eldest brother's unclear brain, and on the other hand, she hated him even more for dragging her old mother who was about to die of illness into the water.
If my mother knew that it was a slut who blocked their Zhenjier's house, I was afraid that she would be angry to death.
Yoo Jung-gil has a splitting headache.
For the Liu family, she asked herself all her heart.
In order to ask the Liu family on his father's side to bully this side, Zhou Rongjun sent people to use means to suppress that side.
In order to avoid another turmoil in the willow bow, people are even more imprisoned.
When Mrs. Liu died a few years ago, it was Zhou Rongjun who asked the people over there to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, and even the Liu family on their side did not need to keep filial piety.
The two brothers, they helped in private.
She thought that the eldest brother had no talent and no vision, but as long as An An had a share, his glory, wealth and future would be indispensable in the future.
But after helping him for so long, he still can't help Adou.
"Zhenjier?" Seeing that her sister didn't speak, Liu Zhenwen was a little panicked.
Yoo Jung-gil has a headache and can't speak, what should she do about this?
This matter has already passed through her mother, and their eldest brother is so fast, how can he give her a place to maneuver.
"Already in the boat?" Yoo Jung-gil asked her sister.
"I'm going to carry someone tomorrow, and my sister-in-law, it's just what I said yesterday, I just learned about it, so I'm here to ask you for ideas." Liu Zhenwen smiled bitterly.
"It's not like it's unprepared." Yoo Jung-gil muttered to himself.
It's unexpectedly fast.
"Do you want to see Big Brother?"
"See?" Liu Zhenji thought about it and shook his head slowly, "No, I see, is it possible for people to say that my eldest brother wants a concubine, and I can't take care of my sister?" ”
This matter, one of her married daughters, even if she is the crown princess, can't care about it.
Especially let people know that it was a concubine from Yiliang, and after being known, the sewage in the big basin splashed on her, and she couldn't wash it clean.
"Then, let him ask for it?"
"Hmm." Liu Zhenji nodded, nodded to Jinghua next to him, and whispered a few words in the ear of Jinghua who bent down.
"Sister, don't worry, mother's side, I will find someone to take care of me." originally thought that her mother had the filial piety of her eldest brother, and she just had to worry about her identity, but now it seems that it still can't be done.
"What about big brother?"
"Leave it to him." Liu Zhenji said lightly, "You go back and tell your sister-in-law that she will take care of her nephews well, so that nothing will go wrong, and then I will not be able to manage it so much." ”
If she was as confused as their father, she, who was an aunt, would have to be ruthless again.
Liu Zhenwen half-lowered her head, but now she suddenly raised her cold face and looked at her sister in a daze.
She could tell that Zhen Jier was planning to give up her brother.
"Zhenjier......" she screamed abruptly.
"Hmm." Yoo Jung-gil smiled at her sister, and in her mind, she already remembered how to transfer her brother's important position to an irrelevant department.
If it is continuous, it will be broken, and it will be chaotic if it is constantly stopped.
Since her brother didn't think about her, it was useless for her to think about him no matter how much she thought about him.
You can't drag the whole family into the water because of him.
He didn't care about his offspring, she had to take care of it, and she had another brother to take care of.
"Mother, just hide it from her, it's time for her, don't let her worry about it." Everything Liu Zhenji did for the Liu family, in the final analysis, was for her mother, and she didn't want to end up worrying about her mother.
"Sister." Liu Zhenwen took her hand and looked at her thin face with pity.
Zhenjill doesn't like to smile as much as she used to.
Carefree was far away from her.
They didn't help her much, they always let her worry about it, but I didn't expect that after all these years, they would embarrass her.
"The weather is also cool in September, when the time comes, you can take Da Lang and them to follow your brother-in-law to take office well, go out, don't be afraid of difficulties, do more things, and benefit future generations." A family can't be good, my sister is smart, and my second brother is also visionary and courageous, and the Liu family that they are separated from is not much different.
It's just that the second brother went out to serve as an official, and no one took care of it, so the eldest brother fell off the chain.
"September?" This is the first time that Liu Zhenwen has clearly known the time when her husband was released.
"Hmm." It hadn't been decided yet, but Yoo Jung-gil thought about it, it was better to let her sister and them out early.
Otherwise, it will also fall into the pool of sewage in Jingli, and it will be useless for Sister Yu at that time.
"Then you can prepare now?" Liu Zhenwen whispered, looking at her sister and not letting go.
Jia Wenbiao didn't tell her about this, I think my sister knew about it from the prince, and Jia Wenbiao may not know it.
"Let's prepare for it in the next few days, the prince will tell his brother-in-law in the next two days." Yoo Jung-gil said with a smile.
Liu Zhenwen originally reported the news, but she didn't expect such news, so she said a few words to Liu Zhenji and left the palace.
She has too many things to prepare, although she has done it before, but next month's business, it is not a few days, and there are some things that she has not done yet.
After Liu Zhenwen left in a hurry, Liu Zhenji called Shui Yue to tell Gonggong Su to let the prince come back earlier today.
She easily does not disturb Zhou Rongjun's political affairs, as a prince who did not inherit the throne, but inherited the emperor's government affairs, Zhou Rongjun can have a few days of leisure in a year, but sometimes if the crown princess has something, he will try to take half the sky to come out, whether it is to accompany her, accompany the children, or sit quietly for a long time, he is very willing.
As long as the crown princess speaks.
Now the crown princess said to let him return to the palace early in the evening, and he rushed to the courtiers of the cabinet before evening.
After the courtiers retreated, he didn't go to the desk, and walked directly to the palace.
There was still a while before the sun went down, and Liu Zhenji also expected that he would come back earlier, but he didn't think it would be earlier than she thought, so the face of the day, which had been cold for a long time, finally softened.
The change in her expression was seen in the eyes of the prince, who was extremely sensitive to her emotions, and the prince immediately frowned, "What's wrong?" ”
Who is this who is not happy with her?
"You're back so early." Yoo Jung-gil went to hold his hand.
She looked up and saw that it was still early, so she turned around and walked out, intending to pick up Yuyu from class.
"Where is Chen'an now?" She asked the people around her again.
"The slave maid just learned that the little county lord went to pick up the imperial grandson from class." Father-in-law Su knew and interjected to answer.
"Exactly." Hearing that the youngest daughter was as attentive to her little brother as ever, Liu Zhenji's eyes softened a little.
Zhou Rongjun was unmoved by these words, and still looked at her with a frown.
Liu Zhenji whispered on the road that Liu Zhicheng was going to marry Princess Yiliang's maidservant, and also lightly talked about passing through her mother Kong's way.
"Brother-in-law, can you arrange for him to leave Beijing next month?" At the end, Yoo Jung-gil said that he wanted to discuss with him.
"Hmm." The prince nodded, his face was cold, and he answered very simply.
Liu Zhenji looked up at his cold face, smiled, didn't know what to say, leaned his head on his shoulder and sighed leisurely, "I'm thinking now if it was right to separate the family from the Liu family in the first place." ”
There is no big family in the town, and if you don't do anything, it is easy to go wrong and bring your family tired.
The current Liu family, the old mother is bedridden, the second brother Liu Zhiping went to the Northeast as an official, and there is no one to persuade him, her eldest brother is not doing whatever he wants, he was taken advantage of, he is still loyal to the enemy, but she can only be less cost-effective for him, and some things still have to be carried for him, so as not to burden his family.
"What's the situation, you sent someone to investigate?" Zhou Rongjun touched her face, knowing that she said it softly, she still felt uncomfortable.
She basically never bothered him with her own affairs, and the few times she begged him to be accommodating and cared for were all related to the Liu family.
"Sent." When Yoo Jung-gil said this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
In fact, after her second brother left, she sent someone to Liufu to take care of her mother, and by the way, she also looked at Liufu.
But before, no one came to report.
Someone just came, and they said that they didn't know about it.
The person sent to the principal is also a capable and careful person under them, but they have all hidden it from the eyes of this principal, think about it, if it wasn't for her eldest brother's willingness to cooperate, how could she hide it?
As a result, her heart grew even colder.
She really didn't understand whether her eldest brother had been hit by the cup, or if he had been delusioned and had done something that meant nothing to him to do.
She told him what the spies had reported earlier.
"Yi Liang did it?" Zhou Rongjun curled the corners of his mouth coldly, "It's finely done." ”
Quietly, I want to act extremely carefully.
I don't know how much I planned.
"Well, I think so too, I can't stop it, it's better not to stop it." Since he took the safety of the family as compensation, she, who was a sister, could not afford to lose, so she had to clean up this mess for him.
Zhou Rongjun didn't speak, looked up and touched her face.
Although the concubine has no status, the princess's brother married the maidservant of a princess of a small country as a concubine, which also invisibly lowered her status, of course he was not happy.
However, she was already unhappy, and there was no need for him to keep a straight face to make her even more uncomfortable.
"It's okay," he softened his face and tone softened, "just let him belittle himself, whether he wants to do it or has other troubles, you don't have to worry about him, he can carry the concubine if he wants, and in a few years, no one will remember it." ”
In fact, it won't take a few years, and in a few months, the concubine will become a thing of the past.
You can't let her stay alive and be an eyesore.
"Huh." Yoo Jung-gil chuckled.
**
The eldest brother of the crown princess carried a maid of Yiliang Country, and somehow, many people in the capital knew about it.
In this palace, Yiliangguo also said that the princess was in better health and wanted to come to see the princess tomorrow.
I don't know how the people outside spread this, but when Jinghua came to tell Liu Zhenji, she said that the embassies of several countries were saying that the princess of Yiliang Kingdom was sick, and it was all her loyal palace maid Chong Xichong.
also said that the princess was benevolent and righteous, although she was a palace maid around her who went out to be a concubine, the dowry was extremely rich, and she could be a young lady in a wealthy family.
The crown princess smiled after hearing this, and asked Princess Lan beside her, "I don't know if Princess Lan is willing to go out for me and go to see the little princess Yiliang for me." ”
Princess Lan was reserved with a forehead, "I should go on this trip for the crown princess." ”
This Princess Yiliang secretly belittled the crown princess, and clearly raised her own behavior, Princess Lan didn't need to turn her head much, she could understand the meaning of this, and she also had her own way, so she went to fight first.
Princess Lan went to see Princess Yiliang.
Princess Yiliang's name is Duo'er, her appearance is superior, her facial features are very deep, and she has a different style, especially the faint sickness between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes me feel pity, and when Princess Lan saw this Princess Yiliang, her heart was also stagnant.
The crown princess has an older sister, who is a well-known and unforgettable cold and glamorous beauty in Bian Jingli, and the princess of Yiliang has a cold and glamorous appearance, which impresses the seeer, and there is a sick beauty temperament that makes people palpitate between her eyebrows and eyes, this kind of beauty is too unique.
I can't forget who saw her.
Princess Lan retracted the noble heart in her heart towards the princess of the small country, and her eyes became softer and softer.
Princess Lan is a very typical noblewoman of the Zhou Dynasty, she exudes gentleness from her bones, and people like them, the more gentle they are, the more ruthless their hearts are.
What to do, what not to do, its resoluteness, never inferior to a ruthless and cold-hearted man.
She waited for Princess Yiliang to meet her first, and then returned a half-salute, and after Princess Yiliang was helped to sit down, she also sat down slowly, smiling and humane, "Our princess said that you can see her tomorrow, and I am very happy in my heart, let me come to see you first." ”
The female official who could speak Yiliang relayed these words, only to see Princess Yiliang let out a faint voice and moved the corners of her mouth twice.
The voice is very slow, delicate with a little cold snort, especially intriguing.
"Our princess said that I thank the crown princess for her hospitality."
"Hmm." Princess Lan raised her head and said gently, "It's just that I see that this princess is not in good health, so in order to avoid the sick body staining our princess, I will pass the illness, or wait until my body is all well, and then go to see our princess." ”
The word "let's go", she also sighed, very regretful.
With that, she stood up, "I think I'd better leave early......
As he spoke, he got up, hooked his chin at the sitting Princess Yiliang, and without waiting for her to respond, he turned around and left with the aunt and maid in charge.
After going back, Princess Lan didn't enter the palace the next day, and let people tell the palace the news, telling the crown princess that she was sick with Princess Yiliang in the embassy of Yiliang, and now she is too sick to get up......
The crown princess sent the imperial doctor to see Princess Lan.
The doctor came back to report that it was an epidemic.
At this time, for some reason, in the Yiliang Embassy, there was news that many people were sick and asked the doctor to enter the door.
The fact that the Yiliang people were infected with the epidemic was reported to the prince by the Tai Hospital, and after a while, the Shuntian Mansion had already sent an official messenger to control the people of the Yiliang Embassy.
The people of Beijing panicked because of this, they were most afraid of epidemics, this kind of thing, once people get touched, nine out of nine will die, and the gods will be difficult to save.
Therefore, the people of Beijing hope to invite those people from Yiliang Country out of Beijing.
The newly entered aunt in the Liufu Mansion was also invited back to the Yiliang Embassy and waited to be checked.
Liu Zhenji also knew at this time that this new aunt of Liufu had been in her body for two months.
**
Liu Zhicheng begged to come to Liu Zhenji.
Before, he planned to meet Kong.
But he was stopped by Yoo Jung-gil's men.
Ever since the new aunt entered the door, Liu Zhenji had already let her into the people of the Liu Mansion and did not let Liu Zhicheng see their mother.
Liu Zhicheng, she also sent someone to follow, and she was not afraid of being known by her brother, she was now eyeing him.
was going to talk about his transfer, but thinking that Jia Wenbiao's matter was more important than his, he would get his brother-in-law and sister out first and then move him, but he didn't think that an aunt was taken away, Liu Zhicheng didn't worry about his future, and he had to come to see her.
Yoo Jung-gil also wanted to know what her eldest brother thought, so she agreed to him.
Knowing that she wanted to see Liu Zhicheng, the prince sent the head of his guards over.
Before Liu Zhicheng saw her, he stripped naked, was checked from his toes to his hair, and even doused him with cold water and soaked it in hot potion, and wore the clothes prepared in the palace before he saw Liu Zhenji.
Rao was like this, and he didn't back down.
Naturally, Yoo Jung-gil heard about it.
The prince was afraid of accidents, and although the incident of the Yiliang epidemic was the cause of her side, the prince, who knew the inside story, was still cautious about her, and of course she was very happy in her heart.
But Liu Zhicheng was obviously treated as a sick body, and he still had to come to her with all the pains, and he was not afraid to pass the sick body to her, and Liu Zhenji was really cold to him.
"Weichen has seen the crown princess." Liu Zhicheng came in and saw Liu Zhenji, who was sitting on the side waiting for him, and saw that she didn't sit on the top seat, and his face warmed up.
My sister has never been a domineering person, even if she is the crown princess, it is the same as in the past.
She has a very soft heart.
Thinking about something, she had to do it.
"Well, sit." Yoo Jung-gil bowed his head at him and motioned for him to sit down under her.
Maybe the relationship between their brother and sister is not so deep, after the initial absurdity and the feeling of being sentenced have subsided, the unbelievable feeling just now is not so serious, and Liu Zhenji is also very calm.
Her expression was a little cold, but her tone was still gentle, and Liu Zhicheng became more and more sure that he, the little sister, still had him as the eldest brother in his heart.
After all, he is the eldest son of the Liu family, his mother is still sick, and his sister always has to take care of it.
"I'm coming," Liu Zhicheng hesitated, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "It's embarrassing that my sister is here." ”
"How?" The palace maid served tea, and Liu Zhenji took her cup, took a sip, and said lightly.
"I don't know if my sister knows about taking a new concubine for my brother." Liu Zhicheng had some shame on his face.
"Yes." Yoo Jung-gil didn't intend to deny it.
"Does that sister know that she is the maid next to Princess Yiliang Duo'er."
Liu Zhenji put the teacup on the table and looked at her nonchalantly at her eldest brother with a shameful face and a worried expression, this year, Liu Zhicheng has been quite proud, so that face, even with these two expressions, still can't hide his high spirits.
Liu Zhicheng is only in his early thirties, the two sons and two daughters born to her mother are good-looking, he is naturally handsome, such a noble uncle, the court is handsome, his sister is the crown princess, and the future is immeasurable, and he actually took a fancy to the maid next to the princess of a small country.
If she had taken a look at a princess, she would have to look up to him.
I don't know what he thinks, but he can open up to her as a maidservant as a concubine.
"How did you fall in love with her?" Liu Zhenji casually lifted the tea lid and said lightly.
"That's the ......" Liu Zhicheng saw that there was no anger on her face, his heart was relieved, his expression relaxed, and he slowly said to her.
It turned out that Liu Zhicheng went to the county hundreds of miles ago in the capital to investigate a case of deception and concealment by a county order, and met the county order to chase and kill him halfway, unfortunately fell into the water, and was just rescued by the Yiliang maid who passed by the county to enter Beijing, the maid was washing clothes by the river, and after saving him, she was soaked, and in order to avoid the pursuers, the two of them were wet and hid behind a dense bush......
"The child was also there that time," Liu Zhicheng's face was full of shame, "It's my brother's fault." ”
After that, he looked at Liu Zhenji and smiled bitterly, "Sister, after all, it is the flesh and blood of the Liu family, and my mother also knows, I carried her into the door because she had a body, otherwise, my mother didn't want to embarrass your sister-in-law......"
"The little woman happened to be washing clothes by the river?" Liu Zhenji smiled and asked him, "Yiliang Kingdom needs the princess's personal maid to wash clothes by the river on the way to the capital?" ”
"Yiliang is very poor, especially Princess Duo'er, who is not in good health and is not loved by Emperor Yiliang," Liu Zhicheng hurriedly argued, "The places where they hit the top are all wild shops outside the county, I heard that they can come to Bian Jing, it is Princess Duo'er's mother who privately pasted half of her face, so she was able to make the trip, the people around Princess Duo'er are all wasted generals who are not wanted by the Yiliang monarch, sister, you haven't seen them, if you have seen them, you know how shabby they are, Princess Duo'er is a princess of a country, plain clothes and plain noodles, It's so ......."
said, sighed heavily, and said very regretfully, "That's not even half of my sister, she couldn't come to see her sister before, and she didn't have good medicinal materials to treat her illness, so she dragged it out again and again, and she couldn't enter the palace to see her sister, and asked her sister not to be weird." ”
