10 buns and slag

Sure enough, in the evening, the palace people who went to pick up Zhao Wanrong reported that Lord Zhao had come with the car and asked to meet the queen.

It's all this time, and it's always inappropriate for the foreign minister to ask to see him, so Zhao Yanrong should have rejected her father's request, and only took her sister in to meet Pei's family.

Although Zhao Wanrong is only seven years old, she is tall and has long legs, beautiful facial features with heroic spirit, and her appearance is not with Zhao Fengchun at all, but she is seven or eight points like the Pei family. She was a child in the end, and when she first entered the palace, she was thrown out of the clouds when she saw her mother, holding Pei's hand, and refusing to let go of anything.

She has not been close to Zhao Yanrong since she was a child, and now that this eldest sister has become the mother of a country and has a noble status, she does not dare to approach. However, Zhao Yanrong likes her very much, and thinks that this child is polite and lively, and there is no trace of bear childishness on his body, which is very likable.

"Mother, does my mother really want to live here today and not go home?" probably felt that this queen sister was very gentle and kind, and Zhao Wanrong was no longer as restrained as she was just now, and a bright smile appeared on her tense little face.

"Yes, not only my mother, but my sister wants to keep you here for a few more days, is Wanrong willing?" Zhao Yanrong smiled and handed her a crispy fruit, "Sister will take you to have a good time in the palace." ”

Wanrong showed a happy expression on her face, but she still looked at Pei Shi and shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, although Wanrong doesn't know the rules of the palace, she also knows the difference between inside and outside, and she doesn't dare to stay longer." She thought about it, looked at Zhao Yanrong's face, and suddenly said: "Actually, I miss my uncle a little, I don't know if I can go to my uncle's house with my mother for a few days after leaving the palace." ”

Pei's face tightened, and he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense, let's go home when we leave the palace." ”

Zhao Yanrong raised her eyebrows, and she already had a plan in her heart.

Fortunately, although Pei's is weak, the daughter she raised did not follow her temperament.

At night, Zhao Yanrong sent Pei Shi to sleep by herself, and then pulled Wanrong to sleep with her.

The two sisters gossiped for most of the night, and Mulan urged her a few times before falling asleep.

Wanrong certainly felt that the eldest sister of the queen had changed a lot, and it turned out that a cold heart finally knew that it was pasted back to her mother. And Zhao Yanrong also made it clear what had happened in the mansion in the more than three months since she left the Zhao Mansion.

Originally, Pei's family was set up at home, Zhao Yanrong was brought up by her grandmother Mrs. Zhao, and she was not close to her, even if she entered the palace as a mother, Pei's situation at home has not changed much. If you want scenery, it is the scenery of the Zhao family. However, because of Zhao Yanrong's miracle on the wedding night, she offended the queen mother and annoyed the emperor, and the joy of the Zhao family became a heavy burden for the family.

So Pei was scolded by her mother-in-law every day, saying that Zhao Yanrong would be confused, and it was all taken by the Pei family.

The last bit of housekeeping power is also in the hands of the mother-in-law, and it falls into the hands of Aunt Duan.

After being placed under house arrest in Zhaoyang Hall because of the boredom in the palace, Mrs. Zhao directly forced Pei to take out her dowry, saying that she wanted to hand it over to Zhao Fengchun to walk around outside, so as to find the best doctor to treat Niangniang.

"Now we are squeezed into a small courtyard, and even the number of people who serve us has been reduced by half, and many of the good things my mother gave me have been snatched away by those people." As soon as she mentioned this, Zhao Wanrong was angry, "That's all my mother's dowry, surnamed Pei or not Zhao, what qualifications do they have to snatch it?" My mother is weak and weak, but whenever I come forward to fight with them, I can't always defeat her own initiative to soften her body, and in the end she still succeeds. ”

The dowry is a thing given by the mother's family to the daughter of the marriage, and it does not belong to the husband's family.

If it is known that the Zhao family robbed the daughter-in-law's dowry, it will become the first laughing thing in the capital.

"That is, my mother loves face, but if she is willing to say a thing or two to her uncle's family about this kind of thing, it is impossible for my uncle to watch our mother and son being bullied like this." That's why Wanrong thought about going to live at her uncle's house, so Pei Shi hurriedly stopped her, she knew her daughter's temper, and she had been bullied too much in the past few months, she was afraid that Zhao Wanrong would cry to Pei Yi and tear apart the good face she had carefully maintained for many years.

Zhao Yanrong thought about it, and then laughed: "What is the use of this trivial matter Uncle Labor, my mother can't stand up, isn't there still you?" I entered the palace, you are the most valuable daughter of the Zhao family, as long as you can stand up by yourself, you don't need to be afraid of those women. Even in front of your grandmother, as long as you follow the rules, she can't do anything about you. ”

Wanrong thought about it, and her eyes lit up.

"What are rules? Mother is a wife, she is a concubine, you are a concubine, they are concubines, the share of the master and servant is put away, and the difference between the concubines is there, if they want to exceed their duties and exceed the rules, you don't have to save face, and clean up fiercely. Zhao Yanrong's eyebrows stretched, very comfortable, "I only remember that there is me standing behind you, my uncle, and the champion Hou Pei's family." Even his father, he didn't dare to offend the Pei family! ”

Zhao Wanrong silently read it several times in her heart, and she had already made up her mind in her heart.

"But my uncle's house still has to go, and there is no need to say it too plainly, my uncle is a smart person, and it is impossible for him not to hear the slightest movement of what kind of life you live in the Zhao Mansion. However, my mother is the daughter of Pei's marriage, and if my mother doesn't mention some things, it will be difficult for him to go over and make decisions for you. I still have to live, even if I want to get out, my uncle has to have a reason to get ahead. Zhao Yanrong closed her eyes and said slowly, "Grandmother is old, I think this is towards Aunt Duan, but I don't know that she is so partial, it will only make the Duan family die earlier." Look, as long as you go to the Champion Mansion, your father will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will still ask you to go back. As long as he asks, the conditions are in your hands. It's just that this time I still have to hold some hands, my father has a good face, properly save some face, leave some leeway, and he will not fight hard for an aunt and your mother and daughter in the future. ”

Zhao Wanrong imagined that her father personally brought someone to pick up the mother and son home, and she didn't feel excited, and she tossed and turned on the bed without stopping.

Zhao Yanrong raised her hand and touched her sister's hairy heart, and laughed silently.

The next morning, before Zhao Fengchun had time to enter the palace, the emperor came early.

At that time, Zhao Yanrong was eating with Pei Shi and Wanrong, and the emperor didn't let people pass it on, so he took Debao into the inner hall, and saw the queen sitting in a bun behind the Eight Immortals case, I don't know what she was talking about, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was smiling happily.

Although it is not a brocade dress, nor is it glossy and pink, it has a smooth ironing feeling that makes people feel like eating an ice bowl on a dog day.

The three women, big and small, sat together like this, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious and warm, which made Li Rui's mood relax a lot.

"What are you talking about? So happy. Debao took off his cloak, and Li Rui strode over.

The mother and daughter, who were still laughing, were all startled, and hurriedly got up and bowed.

Li Rui helped them all up and talked.

When the emperor came, they naturally couldn't eat any more breakfast. Yanrong asked people to clean up the table, and gave Li Rui a new cup of tea, before saying with a smile: "Why did the emperor come so early today?" ”

yes, how did you have the spare time to get here? Shouldn't you be crooked in which concubine's bed at this time?

Pei developed the habit of getting up early in Zhao's house, and Zhao Yanrong got up early in order to accompany her stepmother to dinner. It's good to get up early, otherwise, I would have been blocked in bed by the emperor at this time.

Zhao Yanrong couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do? Do you want to come and have breakfast with her to connect with your relationship?

"Has the emperor eaten?" Taking the tea cup in Li Rui's hand, Zhao Yanrong asked the father-in-law Debao who was standing behind the emperor.

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor has already eaten." Eunuch Debao grew up with Li Rui, although he was only in his twenties, he was very capable and steady, and he also knew the emperor's mind best. Although he only followed the emperor to Zhaoyang Hall twice, the way the emperor looked at the queen made him feel very different from before. At this time, when the queen asked again, he naturally accompanied twelve points of caution and added twelve points of respect.

"There is no morning today, I wake up early, that is, I walk everywhere." The young emperor held the shelf, raised his chin slightly, and pretended to be the emperor, "I just walked near the Zhaoyang Palace, so come and see the queen, how do you feel today?" Aren't you better? ”

The emperor was wearing a azure dark embroidered gold moire regular dress, and only two hostas were tied on his head, which was very leisurely. Look at his dress, he shouldn't have found a concubine to sleep with yesterday.

It is not close to the emperor's dormitory to the Zhaoyang Palace, so how early does he have to get up to wander around the Zhaoyang Palace.

Zhao Yanrong smiled, with a little shyness on her face: "Yesterday, the concubine's mother came into the palace, and the concubine thought that she and her sister hadn't seen her and her sister for many days, so they let them stay in Zhaoyang Hall for a night, but the concubine was rude and forgot to tell the emperor." ”

Pei's is Pei Yi's sister-in-law, and for Pei Yi's sake, Li Rui also has to be courteous to Pei's family. Pei Yi is Li Rui's close comrade-in-arms, so he chose Zhao Yanrong as the queen.

originally thought that in the end, it was Pei Yi's niece, and it should be no worse, but he didn't expect to marry into the door to know that this Miss Zhao was a good mallet, which disappointed him and regretted it for a long time. However, the queen is sick, but her temperament is much more cheerful and smooth, and there is also a shadow of Pei Houye in her actions, which makes Li Rui, who has no hope, full of blood again, and his mood has become very good.

"It's all my own family, so I don't need these false courtesies. If Mrs. Zhao is free, it is good to stay in the palace for a few more days. The day before yesterday, the champion Hou also told me about the past when Princess Pingyang was stationed at Niangzi Pass and defeated the 30,000 Dirong army with 5,000 horsepower. My aunt and grandmother didn't let her shave her eyebrows, but unfortunately she passed away too early. When my father was alive, every time I mentioned my aunt and grandmother, I was sincerely impressed. ”

After Princess Pingyang married Pei Du, she gave birth to two girls and a boy. Because Princess Pingyang followed her father back then, she made countless contributions, which is very different from other princesses. So the eldest daughter was born and was named the lord of Tai'an County. But she hasn't been pregnant since. Princess Pingyang also wanted to carry Pei Du two concubines so that she could give birth to a few sons, but Pei Du refused to agree. When the county lord of Tai'an was ten years old, the couple were already disheartened, and they were planning to have a son from the Pei family's side branch, but they didn't expect Princess Pingyang to be pregnant again.

In the first year, she gave birth to her second daughter, Pei Jin, and in the second year, she gave birth to her eldest son, Pei Yi.

I don't know if it's because she gave birth to two children in a row and dragged her body down, or because she is old, Princess Pingyang has been weak and sick since her son was born.

finally survived until the eldest daughter married Zhao Fengchun, and she died, leaving a pair of young children.

Hearing the emperor mention his mother, who died young, Pei's eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his head.

She was also seven or eight years old when she lost her mother, so she couldn't bear to look at the daughter left by her sister. When Zhao Fengchun asked to marry, Pei Du was no longer a director, and all the affairs of the family were handed over to Pei Yi. The younger brother repeatedly dissuaded her, feeling that it was not appropriate for the second sister to be a continuation, but Pei Jin made up her mind to take care of her young daughter for her sister, and also felt that her brother-in-law was talented, affectionate and righteous, and was a man worthy of being entrusted for life.

I didn't expect that what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth.

Only when I got married did I really appreciate what kind of life my sister lived in the Zhao family back then.

But at that time, her father was seriously ill and her younger brother was young, so she didn't want them to be sad, so she also learned from her sister, hid everything in her heart, and forced her to pretend to be happy.

If the mother is still alive and knows that this son-in-law is so different from the outside, maybe she will shoot her in the Zhao mansion, beat the son-in-law first, and then force the Zhao family to write a peace paper.

Pei Shi looked at Zhao Wanrong and sighed silently.

The emperor and the empress hadn't said a word yet, and a eunuch suddenly came from outside to report.

"Lord Zhao, the secretary of the household department outside the palace, asks to see Niangniang."

Pei's heart was sour, and when he suddenly heard her husband's name, she was shocked, and the tea in her hand also splashed out.

"Lord Zhao also brought a lady and a young lady, saying that they were going to enter the palace together to greet the mother." The eunuch is also a good person, looking at the queen's face, "They don't have the brand of the mother's mother, so they are waiting outside the palace, and when they see it, they ask the mother to show it." ”

"Ma'am? Miss? Zhao Yanrong looked at Pei Shi and Zhao Wanrong who were sitting at the bottom of the head with a surprised expression, "Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao are sitting here, where are there another Mrs. and Miss?" Mother, do you know who they are? ”
