The Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away, and the selection of Shenhuwei is about to begin, and the third brother is practicing martial arts more and more diligently.

The sister-in-law came a few times, once to deliver zongzi, and brought a few letters by the way, that is, her father, the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu asked her to transfer a few letters to An Chengyan, it was Ren Zhuyuan's letterhead, maybe he smelled something, he felt that it was much safer to hand over this letter to An Chengyan than to put it by his side.

One was to bring Song Yue, Song Yue and the third brother were separated for many days, and when they met, they were in tears, if they didn't know the sister-in-law's personality, I almost thought he was abused in the eldest brother's mansion.

Another time I came with Sun Shengnan, Sun Shengnan told me that Qin Shuangwan invited her to incense, and she was afraid of being tripped up, so she invited me to go with me. I can't understand this kind of social etiquette of the celebrities in Dijing, since she refuses to see that she is unhappy, why should she accept it?

Sun Shengnan said distressedly: "I don't want to refuse, but that Ding Qi said that I didn't dare to see the Buddha because I did too many bad things, and I Sun Shengnan did a good job, why didn't I dare?" In hindsight, she was provoking me......"

…… You are naïve.

Seeing that I was not in high spirits, she begged, "You will come with me!" Qin Shuangwan, Jiang Ruoqiao, and Ding Qi are added, I have to be buried to death by them. ”

I asked her, "Is Ding Qi's father named Ding Yaozong?" ”

Sun Shengnan said with disdain: "It's him." This person is uneducated, greedy for money and lustful, bullying others, only married the eleventh concubine last month, one year younger than Ding Qi, the Jingzhong family is making jokes behind their backs, but their own family is not ashamed at all, phew! ”

"Heh," I sneered, "and they won't be around for long." ”

Sun Shengnan said: "You just say this to me, forget it, then Ding Yaozong's hands and feet are all over the sky, and he is used to stumbling people, and my father often suffers from him." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Ding family was originally lost in Beijing, and then the first emperor went to Modi to fight, and the queen mother took it upon herself to take the Ding family to the East Palace as the prince's side concubine, and the Qin family was on an equal footing, and the Qin family and the Ding family actually rose up after the Qian Shu Rebellion," she pouted, "God is really blind." ”

"Isn't the Ding clan as favored as Concubine Xian?" But among the holy concubines, I haven't heard of anyone surnamed Ding.

"Oh!" She said, "Originally, the Ding family was named Concubine Shu by His Majesty, but she could compete with Concubine Xian, but Concubine Shu's life was not good, and she didn't know what strange disease she had a few years ago and died violently." ”

"The Ding family is also strong, Concubine Shu died, they are like no one, and they still want to send Ding Qi to the palace after the year, fortunately, His Majesty is no longer drafted, and Hou Ye can be regarded as doing a good thing." She said again, "Speaking of which, the concubine is still the adoptive mother of the Eighth Prince!" ”

I was shocked, it was her?!

She died of illness and was killed by An Chengyan! However, according to what Sun Shengnan said, Concubine Ding Shu's family is also powerful and not to be underestimated, and she was killed by an unfavored prince who said that he would be killed?

That's, right?

Don't...... Is there someone behind An Chengyan?

Who is it?

is definitely not a virtuous concubine, An Chengyan has a grudge against her for killing her mother, and An Chengyan will not recognize a thief as her mother no matter how spineless she is. What's more, Concubine Xian and Qin Xiang were desperate to kill him and the Eighth Prince day and night, how could they help him?

Who could that be?

Dowager? I suddenly remembered a detail, everyone called Xu Rongchan "Mama Xu" or "Aunt Xu", and he called her "Aunt Rongchan", and he also said that he and the Eighth Prince had lived with the Queen Mother for a while.

However, why would the Queen Mother help an unfavored prince? Pity him? Impossible, if the Queen Mother had such a benevolent heart, she would not be the Queen Mother.

Or is the person behind him ...... Holy?!

"Oh, do you think so?" Sun Shengnan touched me with his elbow and said.

Me: "Yes, yes...... Yes? What the? ”

"Did you listen to me, yes, you're too disrespectful!" When she saw me wandering out of the sky, she exhaled angrily.

I hurriedly smiled: "I didn't pay much attention to what you just said. ”

She said: "I said: Why don't Mrs. You go to incense with us, three against three, and we won't lose to them in momentum." ”

…… Eldest sister, are you going to incense or to war?

I asked my sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, if you also go to incense, you will go with us, and then you will have a care, do you think it is good?" ”

Sister-in-law: "Okay...... Yes? What the? ”

I:......

My sister-in-law has been absent-minded for a long time, and she has been getting thinner and thinner recently, and I can't help but worry: "Sister-in-law, what is on your mind?" ”

She smiled reluctantly: "What's on your mind......"

Sun Shengnan said: "Mrs. You, but have you listened to those long-tongued women chewing the root of their tongues again?" You should not pay attention to them, but what if you have no heirs? It is not without a ...... that Jing Yan succeeded his son in history and finally became the queen mother."

The sister-in-law suddenly got up with red eyes and said: "When you are bothered for a long time, the slave family should also go back, if my sister goes to incense, the slave family will accompany her." ”

She seemed to want to say something to me, but she didn't, and walked away tremblingly.

I blackened my face and said, "Can you stop talking?" ”

Sun Shengnan obediently covered his mouth.

The next day, An Chengyan came to bid me farewell, and he and several officials of Dali Temple wanted to go to Lingshui County to investigate and collect evidence.

I gave him those letters, and I felt that there was no need to hide them from An Chengyan anymore.

Like the famous storyteller Wang Dazui in Biluo City, I told the poignant love story of Mo Xiaoyao and Xu Rongchan and the misfortune of the Mo family's master and apprentice.

An Chengyan listened to it with relish, and ordered Fuxiang to buy two catties of melon seeds halfway.

The master and servant listened and swallowed, and the fragrance of the spiced melon seeds drilled straight into my nose, and I watched them finish the melon seeds, and the story was finished.

I was annoyed and said, "You didn't leave me some!? ”

The eighth prince tugged at the corner of my clothes, and the white and fat little hands were spread out, it was actually a handful of melon seeds, I looked at the shining saliva on the melon seeds, and suddenly felt like it was difficult to ride a tiger.

I squatted down and was about to tell him that I was not going to eat, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was overjoyed and stuffed the melon seeds directly into it.

I:......

Fuxiang applauded and said: "The princess tells this story really wonderfully, you can grab business with the storyteller on Nadong Street if you give a slate." ”

I was embarrassed to be complimented: "Really? I'll tell you the truth, I really want to be a storyteller when I leave the imperial capital......"

An Chengyan's ink eyes narrowed slightly, and he said a line that often appears in the current domineering shopkeeper's script: "Oh? Woman, how many surprises do you have that this king doesn't know? ”

I said, "It's a big greasy smell." ”

An Chengyan: ......

"Okay, this king is not in the capital, Cheng Rui will entrust it to you," his expression became serious, and he took out a black jade seal from his bosom and handed it to me, "You can take this." ”

Fuxiang was surprised: "Your Highness, this ......"

An Chengyan glanced at him, he was busy silencing, but his eyes kept looking at the seal, as if he was very unwilling.

"What's wrong with this jade?" I had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that if I encounter danger, if I take out this jade, a mysterious master will come to the rescue?" ”

It was a seal made of extremely ordinary black jade, and the second brother could find a large handful of jade with a better texture than this in the shop, and the bottom of the seal was engraved with the words "An Chengyan Seal" in the seal. I can't help but think of the plot in the script, often the more ordinary things are, the more useful they are, and for a while, I am overjoyed.

An Chengyan said: "That is the official seal of this king, and there are still some official documents on this king's mansion that have not been approved, so you can help this king approve it." ”

…… Please keep moving!

He suddenly approached me, and a handsome face was so close that I was startled, and I heard him whisper in my ear: "Fourth Miss is always like this, I don't believe in this king. ”

Yes? What do you say...... You can make people believe it.

"You said, Mo Qingran stayed well in northern Xinjiang, why did he have to go to southern Xinjiang with you, could it be that he really fell in love with Miss Fourth at first sight?" His voice was so gentle that it could drip water: "Still, the poison in the north and the Gu in the south ...... Can life be worse than death? ”

He paused, and then said, "Fourth Miss, what do you think?" ”

"You...... You don't want to slander your brother......" I turned my head sharply, almost nose to nose, and I was stunned when I saw myself in his eyes.

He straightened up and looked at me condescendingly, and for a moment there was a sense of oppression from him, a feeling that I had only felt in the Qinghe Temple.

It was an innate imperial spirit.

It dissipated in an instant.

He said: "Then you can go and ask your good brother-in-law what he thinks." ”
