Being pierced by Zhen Xuan's words, Ji Shi was a little embarrassed, she didn't answer, but just asked Zhen Xuan to lean her head on her shoulder and stroke Zhen Xuan's spine one by one.

After waking up from that spring, her eldest daughter grew up a lot at once, and the timid and shy child in the past slowly became what she is today, knowing how to advance and retreat, sensible, cautious but not weak and cowardly, and not afraid of things, Ji's indescribable gratification.

Ji Shi always felt that she never took her attention off a pair of children, but in surprise, watching them grow up. Zhen Heng is still young in the end, in addition to being talented in reading, he only knows the rules of etiquette in doing things. And the daughter is eleven years old in a blink of an eye, and she can also get some ideas.

Thinking of this, Ji wanted to tell Zhen Xuan what he was thinking, instead of asking in a roundabout way like Ji Lu planned at the beginning. Her hand didn't stop, she continued to caress it, and slowly spoke: "Xuan'er, my mother will say a few thoughtful words to you." The eldest aunt wants to marry the Yongliang Palace, not by relying on the connection between the Ji family and the Mu family as now, but by letting one of your sisters enter the palace. You go in and out of the palace the most, and you get along well with the Yan family sisters, so your grandmother asked me to ask you, what do you have in your heart, just talk to your mother? ”

Zhen Xuan didn't expect Ji to ask so directly, she had already heard Zhen Lin mention these things, and she didn't feel surprised at this time, but she didn't know how to say to Ji for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "What does Mother think?" ”

"Mother...... Ji Shi unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, and there was a little more care and love between his eyebrows, and said softly, "Mother naturally wants to think about it." The Pei family wants to climb high. But if it's not a wife, but a concubine, not to mention that your mother and your grandmother won't agree, and the long house won't either. Xuan'er. The Pei family has been in business for hundreds of years, and there are many high-ranking officials, but there has never been a clan. It is the glory of the Pei family to be able to produce a princess. ”

Ji paused when he said this, and there was a sigh in his voice: "It's just that no matter how great the glory is, my mother is not willing to exchange my daughter's life." If you don't see the world right, it's going to be too hard. It's just that if you look at the right eye, there are many rules in the palace, which are not as good as ordinary people. Mother is also afraid that you are not used to it. ”

If it weren't for this, Zhen Xuan would probably prevaricate with "there is no eight characters", but Ji's words carried too much pity and love that made Zhen Xuan's eyes red, she reached out to hug Ji, and said, "Mother." I didn't feel unwilling. It's just that the prince is a clan after all, and what we think is one thing, it depends on what they think. ”

Hearing that Zhen Xuan was willing, Ji knew that she definitely didn't hate Yan Mu'an, but if she said how much truth she had, I was afraid that not a girl of this age could understand.

Ji Shi thought for a while, and then asked, "How many times have you been to the palace, have you noticed anything?" ”

Zhen Xuan opened her mouth, wanting to say it, but she didn't know where to start. Ji didn't urge, waiting for her to think slowly.

"Mother, the prince mentioned it to me once." Zhen Xuan said very lightly, with squeamishness and uneasiness, but if she couldn't talk about these things with her mother, then who could make her unreserved and unguarded. "The last time I went with Sister Cong, the prince seemed to mean that he would mention it with the prince and princess. At the Spring Festival banquet, it was Mrs. Mu who made my clothes wet, and pulled me to talk for a while, I don't know if it was because of what the prince said. ”

Ji Shi was a little surprised, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Why haven't I heard you say these things before?" ”

"I don't know what Lu Dao said." Zhen Xuan pouted, leaning closer to Ji's tighter.

This is shyness, Ji couldn't help but smile deeper: "Since the prince has mentioned it to you, my mother also has a bottom in her heart." It's just Xuan'er, let's stand upright and straight, firstly, we can't let the palace look down on you, and secondly, we can't let others spread some rumors, which will ruin your reputation. In the future, when you enter the palace, you will also have to raise your head and hold your chest up. ”

Ji's words were from the bottom of his heart, and as soon as Zhen Xuan's heart warmed, her throat became a little astringent. She nodded emphatically, whispered in a hoarse voice, and said, "Mother, I remember." ”

Ji smiled and said softly: "There is one more thing, Xuan'er, if you feel that the prince is not good and you don't want to go to the palace, just tell your mother directly, and your mother and grandmother will make decisions for you." ”

When Zhen Xuan heard this, the little feeling of emotion dissipated, and she laughed: "Mother, it will be decided so soon." ”

"What's not going on? In a blink of an eye, my Xuan'er is so old, and I don't have a few years to stay by my mother's side. Ji's voice became hoarse as he spoke, "But it's okay, there is still Heng'er here, my mother is waiting for him to marry a daughter-in-law to honor my mother when he grows up." ”

Zhen Xuan leaned on Ji's and said coquettishly: "Mother, my brother and I will definitely honor you, don't worry." ”

The mother and daughter said some intimate words again, and when Mrs. Li took a nap, Ji took Zhen Xuan's hand and went to the old lady's house.

Bang Qin was rubbing her forehead for Mrs. Li, and Ji waved her hand, so that she didn't have to get up to say goodbye.

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Old man, I feel more and more tired when I take a nap." ”

Zhen Xuan said a few witty words to make Mrs. Li happy, pulled the ink and opened the curtain to come in, saying that Zhen Lin had sent someone to invite Zhen Xuan over.

Ji Shi wanted to talk to Mrs. Li alone, so he let Zhen Xuan go.

Bang Qin is a good looker, and as soon as Zhen Xuan left, she added tea to Mrs. Li and Ji's family, and then she also went out.

Ji Shi told Mrs. Li about the conversation with Zhen Xuan, and said, "The prince should like Xuan'er, and Xuan'er doesn't object. ”

Old Mrs. Li bowed her head, sighed, and said: "This is not surprising, speaking of which, the son of the world is a few years older than Xuan'er, how can a child of this age know so much, so a little hazy is also a reasonable thing, and after that, it will make people gossip." ”

"That's what the daughter-in-law meant." Ji Shi looked at Mrs. Li and replied respectfully, "My daughter-in-law also told Xuan'er that you must stand upright and upright, and you can't let people look down on you." ”

"You are Xuan'er's mother, you can say these words properly." Mrs. Li glanced at Ji approvingly, she has become more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law over the years, maybe it is really because she is old and has a peaceful mentality.

Zhen Xuan arrived at Qingrong Hall, thinking that she would ask Mrs. Ma for peace before going to find Zhen Lin, but she unexpectedly met Zhen Lin outside Mrs. Ma's courtyard.

Zhen Lin pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and when she saw Zhen Xuan coming, she said in a low voice: "Originally, I asked you to come over and play chess with me, but I can't play it now." ”

Zhen Xuan was puzzled, and didn't dare to speak loudly, so she said in a suppressed voice: "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

Zhen Lin leaned over and whispered to Zhen Xuan: "It's unheard of, Aunt Li said that the eighth brother molested the maid in her house." ”

Zhen Xuan was also surprised when she heard this, what kind of thing is this? Zhen Hui is a few months younger than Zhen Xuan, that is, eleven years old, and although Zhen Xuan has not had much contact with Zhen Hui, he does not believe that Zhen Hui will do such a thing.

"Where's the maid?" Zhen Xuan asked.

"I hit the pillar, I don't know if I can save it."

It turned out that just now, Aunt Li was looking for the maid next to her, and after looking for a long time, she saw her hiding in the house crying, and after asking carefully, she realized that it was Zhenhui who teased her.

Where would Aunt Li let go of this opportunity, and sued Duan's family. Duan was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and called Zhen Hui, but Zhen Hui didn't recognize it at all, and the maid was ashamed and hit the pillar. Aunt Li cried and shouted and made trouble in front of Mrs. Ma.

As soon as Zhen Lin finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she turned around to see that it was Aunt Chen, who had not shown up for a long time.

Aunt Chen came with red eyes, hurried over, and saw Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan standing outside the courtyard, hurriedly came up and grabbed them, and said, "Fourth Miss, Seventh Miss, they say that about the Eighth Master, the slave absolutely does not believe it." The ladies accompanied the slaves in and said good things to the old lady, and they must ask some more clearly. Fourth Miss, you take care of Eighth Master and Ten Miss on weekdays, you don't believe that this kind of thing will happen, right? ”

Aunt Chen was in a hurry, and her voice became hoarse as she spoke.

Zhen Lin didn't like Aunt Chen, but Aunt Chen was right, she didn't believe it, sighed, and said, "Let's go in first." ”

Aunt Chen nodded busily, Zhen Xuan originally wanted to leave, but in the face of Aunt Chen's expectant gaze, she was a little hesitant.

The dispute between Duan's wife and Aunt Chen's wife and concubine is not something that she can comment on as a niece, but Aunt Chen's mother's heart reminds her of Ji's, and Ji also wanted to confirm her mind before, for fear that she would be wronged a little. And now Aunt Chen is just looking for a life-saving Daoxiang, and she can hold one by one, as long as she doesn't believe that Zhenhui will do foolish things.

Seeing that Zhen Xuan was also walking towards the courtyard, Aunt Chen nodded at her gratefully.

It was not Caimei but Jinhong who was guarding outside the house, and it was obvious that Mrs. Ma attached great importance to this matter.

Jinhong saw Zhen Lin, Zhen Xuan and Aunt Chen coming together, and her face was a little embarrassed: "The old lady is angry." ”

Aunt Chen was even more anxious when she heard this, but no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't get past Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan, so she could only look at them with tears in her eyes.

Zhen Lin nodded slightly to show her understanding, and said in a low voice: "I'll go in and persuade, sister, don't worry." ”

Mrs. Ma didn't tell anyone not to go in and disturb them, Jinhong didn't dare to stop them, so she opened the curtain to let them in.

There were a lot of people in the house, Mrs. Ma was sitting with an angry face, Duan was sitting at the bottom, Aunt Li was standing behind, Zhenhui and Zhenhuan were kneeling in the middle, and there were two maids that Zhen Xuan didn't recognize.

When she stepped forward to ask for peace, Mrs. Ma glanced at them and said coldly, "Why are you here?" ”

Before Zhen Lin could speak, Aunt Chen looked at a pair of children who couldn't cry silently, and knelt down: "If the old lady wants to punish the slave, she will punish the slave, and the slave will invite the two young ladies to come in when she sees them outside." The slave had learned the lesson of the last time, and had been thinking about it behind closed doors, and if he hadn't listened to these words, the slave would not have come out to obstruct the old lady's eyes. Old lady, the slave implored the old lady to give justice, the eighth master would not do such a thing! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
