"You said that the Jiang family's little Jiuniang entered the palace? Doesn't it mean that genius is coming? Xu Jieyu asked the palace maid in surprise.

"The queen canonized Xiao Jiuniang as Yunshui Jun, His Royal Highness the Prince personally passed the decree, and when he came back, the prince brought Xiao Jiuniang back, and the queen personally stood at the gate of the palace and carried Xiao Jiuniang back to the dormitory." When the palace maid said the news she heard, it was not that she was well-informed, but that Queen Jiang's actions were not concealed at all, as long as she was interested, she couldn't hide it.

"It is said that the queen favors her niece, and it is true." Xu Jieyu raised her hand and tightened the beads on her sideburns and said, Xu Jieyu's biological mother of the second princess, her father is the former official of the Jiang family, she has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, and when Empress Jiang entered the palace for many years without pregnancy, Mrs. Wang chose Xu Jieyu to enter the palace to help the queen solidify her pet. Xu Jieyu is as beautiful as a flower, and she can speak well, and she is gentle and gentle, she is very liked by the emperor, and she gave birth to the second princess not long after entering the palace, but unfortunately there is no news about Xu Jieyu's stomach after that.

"The queen has always liked little girls, and she doesn't love the few little princesses in the palace." The palace maid opened her eyes and said nonsense, in addition to being slightly better to the five princesses in Jiang Cai's life, how could she ever see her look at other princesses differently. Jiang Cairen was originally the palace maid next to Queen Jiang, Queen Jiang was weak, when the emperor came to Jiaofang Palace, there was a lot of time spent sleeping by the palace maids, Jiang Cairen was the luckiest one of them, her appearance was not as outstanding as Xu Jieyu, but she was very good at giving birth, but she was favored by the emperor a few times, and gave birth to five princesses and six princes in a row, and the queen promoted her to be a talented person and lived with Xu Jieyu.

Xu Jieyu smiled and said to the palace maid: "Wu Niang's health is better?" "The five mothers in Xu Jieyu's mouth are the five princesses.

"The doctor prescribed medicine, and Wu Niang drank three doses, and she has already gotten better." The palace maid said.

"Let's go see Wu Niang." Xu Jieyu got up and said.

The fifth princess has been having a fever these days, Jiang Cairen just coaxed her daughter to fall asleep after drinking the medicine, and was doing embroidery work, when she heard that Xu Jieyu was visiting, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread and went out, "Xu Jieyu." Jiang Cairen saluted Xu Jieyu.

Xu Jieyu stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Cairen, "There are no outsiders here, they are all their own sisters, so many courtesies, I came to see Wu Niang, she is in better health." Because of the relationship between the queen, Xu Jieyu and Jiang Cairen have a good personal relationship, and Queen Jiang also specially allocated a courtyard for the two to live alone.

"I drank the medicine, I put me to sleep, and I just cried while drinking the medicine." Jiang Cairen mentioned her daughter, with a soft smile on her face, she is from Wu County, and her appearance can only be regarded as delicate compared to the concubine who competes for beauty, after all, she was also selected to enter the palace, if her appearance is really outstanding, she would have been a concubine a long time ago, not a palace maid, but she has a peaceful temperament when she laughs, and her speech is always delicate and soft like flowing water, which makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart. When she entered the Jiaofang Palace, she liked it because of her excellent embroidery and good voice, and even taught her to read a few volumes of scriptures in person, saying that it was easier to fall asleep after listening to her read the scriptures, and the emperor also favored her because the queen had good eyes on her. There are many palace maids in the queen's palace who have been favored by the emperor, and she is the only one who has this luck.

"Children don't like to drink bitter medicine." Xu Jieyu asked the maid to offer the candied fruit she brought, "This is my new candied fruit, she coaxed her to eat a few grains after drinking the medicine." ”

Jiang Cairen asked people to accept it, and personally served tea to Xu Jieyu, she has a low position and a low status, and her residence is definitely not as spacious as Xu Jieyu, but the queen is kind to her, and she usually rewards her constantly, although the residence is small, she has all kinds of organs. The sixth prince had just turned one year old and slept with his nursing mother. Whether it is Xu Jieyu or Jiang Cairen, their son Queen Jiang let the two of them raise them.

Xu Jieyu picked up the female red she put aside, it was a pair of red satin uppers, and a pair of Tilian were vividly embroidered on it, "The embroidery is the same as the real one, is it embroidered for Wu Niang?" "The upper is the size of a palm, not like an adult's upper.

"It's not." Jiang Cairen said with a smile, "It's for Xiao Jiuniang, and I'll take this embroidery." ”

Xu Jieyu nodded and said, "It's a pity that Wu Niang is sick, otherwise she would be able to play with Xiao Jiu Niang." ”

Jiang Cai said: "Wu Niang herself is young, she can't take care of herself, how can she take care of Xiao Jiuniang?" She still had a slight sorrow on her face, obviously still worried about her daughter's body, which made her feel a little more pitiful.

Xu Jieyu said: "Speaking of which, my eldest mother is the best at taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, and I see that Wu Niang's illness is also boring, so why don't I let my eldest mother accompany Wu Niang for a few days." ”

Jiang Cai said: "My little five is very willful, how can I wronged my aunt to take care of it." ”

"Wu Niang is a golden branch and jade leaf, our eldest lady is just a wild girl in the countryside, how can she say that she is wronged." Xu Jieyu smiled lightly.

Seeing Xu Jieyu's insistence, Jiang Cairen could only nod and say, "Then let the eldest lady accompany Xiao Wu to play for a few days." ”

"Sister, don't worry, the eldest mother will take care of Wu Niang together." Xu Jieyu was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Cairen agree.

Jiang Cairen said: "It's all their own relatives, children just play together, and they don't take care of them." ”

The eldest mother mentioned by the two is Xu Jieyu's niece, her younger brother's daughter, Xu Jieyu's father once went to the battlefield with Jiang Rin and Jiang Qian, and was Jiang Rin's personal guard, when he and several other personal guards took turns to carry Jiang Rin out of the pile of dead, except for Xu's father, the remaining guards died, as soon as Jiang Rin was rescued, the Jiang family put these families in the family and recommended them to serve in the army, and they have been taking good care of them all these years. Otherwise, with the Xu family's family background, if there was no care from Queen Jiang, how could she become Jieyu.

Xu Jieyu talked to Jiang Cairen for a while before leaving, Jiang Cairen personally sent Xu Jieyu out, and then turned back to see her daughter, and saw that the five princesses were still sleeping, she was relieved, and ordered the palace maid to bring the six princes.

"Why did the lady respond to Xu Jieyu's words, she just wanted to use the lady as a stepping stone." Jiang Cairen's palace maid was angry, and complained to the Jiang family, "She must want to send their eldest mother to serve Jiang Jiuniang, and want to take the opportunity to curry favor with the prince." "Aunt Xu is five years older than the prince, this age is a bit old, but there is no shortage of such concubines around the noble disciples nowadays, these concubines have grown up serving them since childhood, and when they reach a certain age, they will be taught to know about personnel, and the master's affection is different, as long as such concubines do not make big mistakes, they generally have a good ending. Even the housewife who can't accommodate concubines will find a good family for these people to marry.

There are also two such concubines in the Holy Heaven, who are not high in rank and are not favored, but they will not be left behind every reward. If you are lucky, even if you can't give birth to yourself, take advantage of the fact that you haven't fallen out of favor to pull a sister of your own into the palace to fix your favor, and let your sister give birth to a prince will be able to get out of the way, the biological mother of the three princes is such an identity, and now the two sisters are raising the three princes together, just waiting for the three princes to take the two to the fiefdom when they are adults. Xu Jieyu must have had such an idea. Jiang Jiuniang entered the palace, and Queen Jiang actually greeted her at the door in person, and this love inevitably made people think about it. Jiang Jiuniang has a noble status, and she is the prince's cousin, and she is the best candidate for the crown princess. If Aunt Xu can take this opportunity to make Jiang Jiuniang happy, why can't she worry about the position of a prince concubine in the future? The second princess can also take Aunt Xu to see Jiang Jiuniang, but she still has to go to the study to take classes, and she can't play with Jiang Jiuniang all day long like the fifth princess.

Jiang Cairen smiled softly: "It's not what she thinks, it must be forced by the family." If the queen didn't mean that, she wouldn't allow Aunt Xu to enter the palace, so what if I helped? Comparing her heart to her heart, she can understand Xu Jieyu's suffering, the second princess she gave birth to is also thirteen years old, but so far she has no title, and she doesn't even know where the candidate for the concubine is.

The Xu family has the status of a good citizen, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but there are advantages and disadvantages, now that Jiang Rin is still there, the Jiang family cares about the old feelings, and must take good care of them, but after Jiang Rin leaves, uh? Although there is no personal freedom for slaves and maids, they can also enjoy the shade with their backs against big trees, and the lives of ordinary good people may be worth the lives of the servants of the family. If Xu Jieyu gave birth to a prince, she could also press the heart of the Xu family, but Xu Jieyu only gave birth to a daughter. The royal golden branches and jade leaves are noble and extraordinary in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the real pride of the sky, they are no different from grass mustard.

Take the princess left by the first emperor as an example, the princess who can be put in the eyes of the emperor is only the seventh princess from his mother, the seventh princess has been depressed after the death of the concubine, the third princess wants to please the seventh princess, and introduced her cousin to the second concubine, and is also a personable Langjun, after the two got married, the husband and wife also fell in love, but the good times did not last long, and the seventh princess died of illness less than half a year after marrying the second concubine. The first emperor was furious, not only killed the horse and his three sons, but also exiled the whole family, the third princess was also implicated, took the title of the princess, and the three horses also went to Jiaozhi, and the three princesses died of illness on the way to Jiaozhi. It is said that the princess died and should be buried on the side of the mausoleum of the first emperor, but the remaining anger of the saint did not subside, so the local officials buried the three princesses underground, and the royal golden branches and jade leaves, just because of the introduction of the wrong marriage, resulting in the death of a guest in a foreign land, and the death can not return to the roots, how can it not make people frightened?

Jiang Cairen instructed the nurse of the five princesses: "When you go to see Xiao Jiuniang tomorrow, you let Wu Niang stay away, she is not well yet, don't be sick." ”

"Lady?" The nurse looked at Jiang Cairen puzzled, did she mean not to let Wu Niang get closer to Xiao Jiu Niang?

"The queen won't like Wu Niang to get close to Xiao Jiu Niang." Jiang Cairen is very self-aware, her Wu Niang is not as noble as Xiao Jiu Niang, Jiang Shangshu's granddaughter, Shen Zhongshu's granddaughter, who can compare with her except for the princess from the emperor? Wu Niang wants to follow Xiao Jiu Niang can only be her half-servant, just like the four princesses and Princess Hengshan, Wu Niang is a royal golden branch and jade leaf after all, being a courtier and a half-servant is inevitably out of character, the best way is to stay away from the two. She has sons and daughters, she believes that she is safe, and the queen will let these two children grow up safely, she just waits for her son to grow up and go to the fiefdom to be the queen mother, so why bother wading into this troubled water.

Jiang Cairen was worried that his daughter would not understand, so he told the nurse in detail, this nurse was carefully trained by Jiang Cairen, and she was loyal to Jiang Cairen, nodding again and again.

And Xu Jieyu also called her niece and taught her Chunchun: "The queen is not very close to the prince, the prince has grown up in the East Palace since he was a child, if you see the prince, you must treat him gently, respect him as if he is heaven, and love him as his only brother, you know?" "Everyone in the palace can see that the prince has a strong admiration for the queen, the prince is so stubborn, and it is also the reason why the emperor and queen ignore him, he is still young now, if he can coax the prince now, he will not worry about no glory and wealth in the future.

Aunt Xu is only eight years old this year, and she doesn't know much about her aunt's words, but she still understands the sentence "respect as a day and love as her only brother", and nodded hurriedly, the Xu family is from a bitter background, even if the Jiang family rewards them very richly, they did not squander it, Aunt Xu is the eldest daughter at home, and she is very good at taking care of her younger siblings and housework.

Xu Jieyu said again: "And Jiang Jiuniang, she is only one year old this year, I heard that she is well-behaved, and when she usually doesn't see the prince, you must serve Jiang Jiuniang carefully, do you know?" ”

Aunt Xu nodded again.

Xu Jieyu sighed, if it weren't for Erniang crying when she heard the prince's voice, and fainting when she saw the prince, why would she go to ask Jiang Cairen! This girl is so angry!

In the Guanju Palace, Concubine An Guifei heard that Xiao Jiuniang of the Jiang family had entered the palace, put down the bamboo scissors in her hand to repair flowers, the palace maid grabbed her wrist and waited for her to clean her hands, An Guifei said: "Jiuniang is here, where is Qiniang?" ”

The palace maid whispered about Jiang Zhun. An Guifei's face was frosty when she heard this, "Something that is not angry!" "An Guifei's mother is Mrs. Guo's sister, since An Guifei's father made a big mistake, the Guo family is not very close to the An family, but Mrs. Guo often goes to see her sister, An Guifei has a good relationship with Mrs. Guo, but she doesn't feel like her own aunt at all.

"The eldest lady is angry, and San Lang is also anxious." The palace maid persuaded Concubine An in a low voice.

An Guifei held the teacup in her hand, her expression was indifferent, and she just held her fingers tightly on the teacup, showing that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.

The An family was originally the first minister of Great Qin, and the two generations of queens after the founding of Great Qin were all from the An family, if there was no accident more than 20 years ago, An Guifei would be the third Empress An of Great Qin. But at that time, An Guifei's father was dazzled by interests, not only did he use his hands and feet in the army, but even abandoned the city and fled when the Turkic army came to the city, resulting in a great dissolution of the army's morale, if it wasn't for her grandfather who killed his only son with an arrow and fought to the death with the Turks, the battle of Daqin would have ended in a fiasco, but even if it was victorious, it was a tragic victory. The main general An Tao, the deputy general Hejian Wang Zhao Yi, Guo Da, An Jing, and Jiang Jing died in battle, although Jiang Rin survived, he went to most of his life, and the news spread to the rear in an uproar. At that time, Empress Dowager An and Empress An knelt barefoot in front of Jianzhang Palace to plead guilty for the An family.

Empress Dowager An is the original match of Taizu Zhao Fengxiang, followed Zhao Fengxiang to fight in the north and south, suffered countless hardships, and there are still arrow marks blocked for Taizu, and it is precisely because of that arrow that the Empress Dowager An has not been pregnant after the miscarriage, and the An family has been accompanied by hundreds of lives in order to support Taizu to attack the world, the first emperor is the eldest son of His Royal Highness, and the Empress Dowager An gave up her only daughter in order to protect the first emperor during the war, and not only has the grace of saving his life, but also the grace of nurturing and teaching. And since Empress An married the first emperor, she has worn iron armor to protect the first emperor, and one child died young...... And the generals who died in the battle, except for Jiang Quan, were either the An family's own people, or the An family's in-laws, An Tao was An Guifei's grandfather, An Jing was An Guifei's eldest brother, Zhao Yi was her eldest brother's father-in-law, Guo Da was her uncle, and several families broke bones and tendons.

The first emperor held An Tao's letter of invitation to sin before his death, looked at his mother and wife who were kneeling on the ground, and finally issued an order to erase the official positions and titles of all the clansmen of the An clan, and reward the generals who died in battle. It wasn't until twelve years ago that the first emperor was seriously ill and granted amnesty to the world, and no one from the An family re-entered the office, but the An family was still greatly damaged by this. Concubine An also missed the crown princess because of her father's crimes. Empress Jiang and Concubine An both know in their hearts that at present, seeing that the An family and Jiang Ke have long forgotten their previous grievances and live in harmony, in fact, everyone is waiting, and at the last moment, the new and old grudges will be settled together, if Zhao Heng ascends the throne, the An family will be destroyed, and vice versa.

Concubine An Guifei put down the teacup, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Tomorrow, Mrs. Xuanguo, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Qiniang will enter the palace." ”

The palace people responded.

Just when the people's hearts in the palace were fluctuating because of Queen Jiang's willful actions, Queen Jiang was lying on the ground, holding a rattle and teasing the little doll who was concentrating on playing puzzles, "Ah Zhi, why don't you play with Auntie?" Auntie is so sad. She looked at Jiang Wei pitifully.

Jiang Wei pushed the puzzle in front of Queen Jiang and said very generously, "Auntie play together." She plays puzzles to improve her finger dexterity.

Empress Jiang sat up all of a sudden, hugged Jiang Wei and kissed her, "What's so fun about this puzzle?" Can Auntie take you on a horseback ride? ”

"Good!" Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, riding a horse! Her favorite sport too!

"Not good." Zhao Min heard that the queen had brought her niece into the palace early, and when she got down to the court, she came over curiously to take a look at this little doll, Jiang Ling is a famous beautiful man, Shen Qin's complexion is also outstanding, I think this little doll should be born very well, but as soon as I entered, I heard that Ah Ning was going to take Jiang Wei to ride a horse, and I couldn't cry or laugh, "Ah Ning, how are you like a child, how old is Jiu Niang?" Can I ride a horse? ”

"I'll just hold her." Empress Jiang is very confident in her riding skills, "Besides, I can't ride fast." ”

"That's not going to work either." Zhao Min said with a straight face, "It's getting more and more nonsense." ”

Jiang Wei glared at this beautiful emperor, as an emperor, is he too beautiful? It turned out that Zhao Heng's bear child looked like his father.

Jiang Wei didn't know that Zhao Min was not the eldest son of the first emperor's son-in-law, his mother was the daughter of a criminal minister, and his foreign family, the He family, was originally a family, and later his maternal ancestor was killed by the first emperor due to a mistake, and the female dependents were not in the court. Concubine He was fortunate to be favored by the first emperor as the daughter of a criminal minister, but it is conceivable that her complexion is beautiful and her demeanor is refined, and Zhao Min's appearance is very similar to Concubine He. At that time, Empress An's son-in-law was still there, he was neither a grandson nor an elder, and his mother was still the daughter of a criminal minister, and he was a silent existence in the palace. At that time, the two most dazzling flowers in the palace were Jiang Changhui and An Qing, Jiang Changhui was brutal and willful since childhood, she practiced martial arts since she was a child, Zhao Min was thin when she was young, and she was beaten by Jiang Changhui. And An Guifei is dignified and gentle, and she is very kind to Zhao Min, and the friendship between the two was cultivated when she was young.

Zhao Min looked at him on the little doll and bent down interestingly, "Does Xiao Jiuniang know who I am?" ”

"Uncle." Jiang Wei smiled and stretched out his little hand to wrap his arms around Zhao Min's neck, beauty!

Zhao Min has always been kind to children, don't say that Concubine An's three children, even other princes and princesses in the palace can lie on his lap and be coquettish, Zhao Min is very familiar with holding the doll and letting her sit on his lap, "This child really doesn't recognize life." "The reason why Zhao Min doesn't like Zhao Heng is that when Queen Jiang was pregnant, he began to get sick, and after Zhao Heng was born, there was a time when he almost got seriously ill and went, but it was Concubine An Guifei who cut meat and boiled medicine to cure his illness, so Zhao Min has always disliked the prince very much.

Jiang Changhui said with a smile: "She must have seen His Royal Highness's dragon posture and phoenix chapter, and she was fascinated." ”

"It's like a child, and I even have to eat this bit of vinegar." Zhao Min patted the queen's hand.

Queen Jiang said: "I'm not jealous, I'm telling the truth." "Zhao Min's face is so pleasing, whoever sees it at first sight will like it.

Zhao Min looked at the little doll that looked a little similar to Queen Jiang, "Ah Ning likes Xiao Jiuniang, let her stay in the palace, and she can accompany you." ”

Jiang Wei's ears stood up suddenly, and she stared at Zhao Min cautiously, she never left her father, and a child leaving her father and mother is not conducive to healthy physical and mental growth! This person is really like a bear child, they are all embroidered pillows! Jiang Wei's favorability towards Zhao Min instantly dropped to a negative number.

"No, as long as Ah Shi stays for a few days, otherwise Ah Wen won't cry to death with me." Jiang Changhui never thought of letting his niece be raised in the palace, and she was raised the same as An Qing? Jiang Changhui couldn't imagine it at all. Jiang Wei looked at her aunt with bright eyes, it was still the best aunt, she fell into her aunt's arms, Jiang Changhui smiled and hugged the little girl.

"It's okay, anyway, the Jiang family is close to here." Zhao Min said.

Lady Yan came over at this time, "San Lang and San Niang, can you eat, the prince will come to ask for peace in a while." ”

Zhao Min coughed lightly, "Ah Ning, I still have some twists and turns to watch, so I'll leave first." Zhao Min was angry when he saw Zhao Heng now, especially when he didn't make it, he couldn't wait to beat him up, but if Ah Ning was like this, he would definitely be angry with him, so he would leave.

Jiang Changhui didn't leave him either, wishing he had left early.

During dinner, Jiang Wei wanted to take the opportunity to reconcile with Zhao Heng, but Zhao Heng didn't come, the reason was that he was punished by Shen Yi. This bear kid regarded Shen Yi as his former teacher, and united several little eunuchs to set up various mechanisms for Shen Yi, such as the seemingly normal scattered books, such as a copper basin on the door, and nails embedded in the floor...... Zhao Heng and several gentlemen who came to him were recruited, and he angrily cried to the emperor and refused to take care of the prince anymore.

And who is Shen Yi? He saw Zhao Heng's actions at a glance, and directly picked up the bear child with two fingers and threw him into the trap, and suddenly there was a ghost crying wolf, Zhao Heng changed from wanting to pit Shen Yi to pit himself, Shen Yi sleeved his hand and asked the palace attendant to clean up Zhao Heng, and directly mentioned him to the small book case and ordered him to write big characters. Of course, Zhao Heng didn't buy it, and jumped up to shake off the prince's majesty, but was slapped by Shen Yi and fell down.

He is Zhao Min's concubine, Zhao Min is respectful when he sees him, and he certainly doesn't have any pressure to teach Zhao Heng. After beating him a few times, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally learned the first words of cultivation in his life, which was taught to him by Shen Yi - "Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes" The sentence "Yanzi Chunqiu" came out of "Yanzi Chunqiu". After Mrs. Shen learned that this stinky boy not only once pinched his little granddaughter's face, but also wanted to stuff her into a flower sac, he learned the second sentence, "Jade is not cut, it is not a weapon, people don't learn, they don't know" The sentence "The Book of Rites and Learning" came out of the sentence "The Book of Rites". His current task is to write these two sentences ten times each, and he is not allowed to eat until he finishes them.

When Jiang Wei heard the news, he immediately lit a row of candles for Zhao Min, this baby is holding a pen for the first time today, right? Ten times or something wouldn't be too cruel. Weng Weng is so powerful! actually punished the prince so calmly. Jiang Wei felt that he admired Weng Weng even more!

After Jiang Changhui heard the news of Zhao Heng's punishment, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally found a good teacher. Just when Jiang Changhui and Jiang Wei happily finished dinner together, took a fragrant hot bath, wore bedclothes of the same style and color, and the two aunts and nephews were lying on the bed in a unified posture, Jiang Changhui told a bedtime story, and was about to sleep together, when he heard a howling cry, "A-Niang-"

Hey? The penalty is over so soon? The same thought flashed through the hearts of a certain pair of aunts and nephews at the same time.
