In the afternoon, Lan Sheng sent snacks from the small kitchen to Tang'er, and said to Luthos: "The young lady said, now that the weather is cooling, it is time to prepare a few winter clothes for the young master Tang'er." I will send the material for a while, all of which are cloud satin rewarded by the palace, and the young lady said that the cloud satin is the most delicate and soft, suitable for children to wear on the body. ”

The green pothos suddenly understood what Wei Qingqing meant, Wei Qingqing is still protecting Tang'er, who dares to chew the root of the tongue next to him, that is, he can't get along with the young lady.

"Yes."

Pothos immediately smiled in response.

Lan Sheng watched her serve Tang'er with all her heart, and his eyes deepened a little: "The next words are not what the young lady meant, but what I meant, pothos, you can just listen to it." ”

"Yes."

The green pothos looked at Lan Sheng cautiously, and when she saw the pity in Lan Sheng's eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head.

Lan Sheng saw that she was also smart enough to know what she was doing wrong, so her words softened: "In the end, Tang'er is not surnamed Rong, the young lady is kind-hearted, and she left him to take care of him in the Guogong Mansion, but she can't keep him for a lifetime." Otherwise, when he grows up, how will you let him deal with himself? Or to put it another way, how can the future children of the second master and the young lady deal with themselves? ”

"The slave is just ......" Pothos wanted to explain, but found that there was nothing to say.

For Tang'er, since the second master recognized this child, she listened to the Duchess of the country, and took care of this child as the eldest son of the second master wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that one day would suddenly come. Tang'er became a child who had nothing to do with the second master.

Lan Sheng patted her hand comfortingly and left.

The pothos was silent for a long time before she thought about taking a snack to coax Tang'er who was in the back room, but found that Tang'er was standing quietly behind the curtain.

Green Pothos was distressed: "Tang'er, the young lady means ......"

"I know." Tang'er smiled and showed her little white teeth at the pothos: "Tang'er is not young and sensible." ”

The green pothos was even more distressed, but she looked in the direction of Wei Qingqing and had to swallow the words in her mouth.

But the news that Wei Qingqing had been ill for a long time spread quickly.

"Really?"

In the guest room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Rong Minghuo happily looked at the people who were talking back and forth.

The little guy nodded: "It's true." I heard that I am still sick and can't be awake for two hours a day. ”

Rong Minghuo immediately rewarded the little guy, but while he was happy, he was a little puzzled, he poisoned people, it would not be so difficult to solve, the hospital of Youtai Hospital was coming out, not to mention healing, it should gradually get better, why is there no sign of improvement at all?

By the way, it must be because Wei Qingqing's body is too weak, and when she sees her, she looks like a weak willow supporting the wind.

Rong Minghuo sneered, only saying that God was helping.

Rong Ruizhang glanced at him, already aware that something was wrong, but seeing that he was still complacent, he only smiled, didn't mention much, and talked to him about another thing.

"The Five Princes?"

Rong Minghuo stared at Rong Ruizhang in surprise: "Hasn't the fifth prince disappeared for so many years, and the emperor doesn't pay much attention to him." Why did he go back to the capital again? ”

"Not only did I go back to the capital, but there seems to be someone's shadow behind me." Rong Ruizhang was suspicious.

"Who's someone?"

Rong Minghuo asked.

Rong Ruizhang glanced at the anxious Rong Minghuo, and did not say anything explicitly, but said: "But the fifth prince suddenly threw an olive branch, and we don't have to rush to kick it away." The four princes thought that only he could attach to me, and there would be stumbling blocks like the Ma family and Yang Daxian, and this time, it would be good to use the five princes to frustrate the four princes' spirit. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"The fifth prince has me here, but you have to do another thing for me." Rong Ruizhang said.

"What?"

"The prince has been too quiet lately, and without him coming out to hide from others, our actions will soon be noticed." Rong Ruizhang calculated that there were less than two years left before the sudden death of the crown prince, and during this time, he happened to be used to prepare forces for the four princes.

But the premise is that the fourth prince is willing to obey his own orders!

sent Rong Minghuo away, and the little guy on one side asked Rong Ruizhang: "Xiangye doesn't seem to have told Master Rong anything?" ”

"I originally thought that this person still has some merit, but now it seems that he can be so arrogant in the Guogong Mansion, all thanks to the deliberate connivance of the Guogong Mansion, such a stupid person, if he knows too much, it will be bad." Rong Ruizhang thought of Wei Qingqing, he couldn't understand Wei Qingqing's temperament now, if it was really Rong Minghuo who was poisoned, she was afraid that she would have found out long ago.

But now he is still 'lingering on the sickbed', but I am afraid that like myself, I realize that Rong Minghuo is just a stupid person, and the person who really poisoned him is just using Rong Minghuo.

"I remember that there is still a hundred-year-old ginseng in the house?" Rong Ruizhang asked.

"There's another one."

"Send it to the Guogong Mansion, even if it's me, the first small gift I give her." Rong Ruizhang sneered, turned his head to look at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Wei Qingqing had selected for himself when he was on the table, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Sooner or later, I want you to return to the palm of my hand!" ”

When Rong Ruizhang's ginseng was delivered, Wei Qingqing directly asked people to take it to stew soup and distribute it to the people in the courtyard to drink.

Although this ginseng was sent by Rong Ruizhang, it was something she had worked hard to search for from everywhere, in the final analysis, it was still her own thing, and it couldn't be wasted!

"Young lady, someone from the palace replied, saying that since you are unwell, you don't need to go to the palace to serve, just stay at home to recuperate."

In the evening, news came from Mama Cao.

Wei Qingqing knew that this was the result of the mediation of the Duchess of the Kingdom, but the result was not perfect, although Wei Qingqing did not enter the palace, but the Duchess of the Kingdom entered the palace.

"Young lady don't have to worry." Mama Cao saw that Wei Qingqing felt guilty on her face, and comforted: "The Queen Mother is charitable, and she also loves her wife, and her wife will not be wronged when she enters the palace." ”

"Yes."

"Madame entered the palace today, and I also saw Concubine Ru and Concubine Chen, the two ladies looked very good, and Mrs. also said that she wanted to ask the ladies for some health care recipes for the young lady." Mama Cao laughed.

Wei Qingqing looked up and saw Mama Cao's meaningful eyes.

Concubine Ru is a member of the Ma family, even if she is a member of the four princes, she is so close to Concubine Chen, it must be the emperor's instructions, so Mrs. Chen suddenly returned to Beijing. is Chen Sanniang's career handled extremely low-key and rigorously, could it be that the emperor specially recalled him to assist the four princes?

Then the emperor made the Guogong Mansion the help of the six princes, what is this for?

Do you force your son and the court officials to be hostile to each other and fight each other?

Seeing that Wei Qingqing had already thought about it, Mama Cao didn't say anything more, and bowed and retreated.

Wei Qingqing couldn't understand the emperor's mind more and more, but she didn't have so much energy to guess now, as soon as it was dark, her thoughts about Rong Che came like a tide, almost engulfing her.

I didn't feel that I used to get along day and night, but now that we are separated, I realize that I don't know when I have been so affectionate with him.

In the distance, so did Rong Che.

Coming out of the room where the emperor was temporarily resting, Rong Che stood under the big tree, looking at the cold full moon, his heart had never fallen, his Qingqing, he had already lost her once because he was far away, and he couldn't experience such pain again.

"Master, I've found Mr. Han."

Kun appeared and whispered.

"Send it back to the capital immediately."

"Mr. Han is already on his way back, but this time he was indeed deliberately lured away, using the bait made by Mr. Han's long-deceased master." Kun looked at Rong Che, this time, it was deliberately designed by someone who was very familiar with them.

But I can also understand Mr. Han about this person, no, now there is only one person in the capital - Uncle Ronghai.

Rong Che's brows locked together: "Write a letter." Tell the eldest brother Mr. Han about the journey back to Beijing. ”

Kun knew that Rong Che was about to be tempted, so he immediately responded.

But when Kun left, Rong Che was completely worried about Wei Qingqing, who was alone in Beijing.

"Is it Second Master Rong?"

Thinking about it, a guard came to ask not far away.

Rong Che looked at it coldly, and the guards were shivering from the cold, so he hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "There is an urgent report from the southwest, and the emperor will leave immediately." ”

Rong Che's hand behind him tightened, this time the riot in the southwest came too suddenly, but he had already arranged several waves of people to investigate, but there was no return, which was also one of the reasons why he chose to come out with the emperor, the southwest is close to Saibei, if the southwest is in chaos, Saibei will inevitably be implicated, and then the biggest reliance of the Guogong Mansion will be something.

When the letter was delivered to Rong Hai, it was already the next day.

He slept on the warm couch in the eldest princess's room all night, got up and heard the news, and was about to go out, but saw that the eldest princess also woke up at some point: "It's still cold outside, you read the letter in the house, it was sent by the second brother, presumably just to ask the second brother and sister about it." ”

Rong Hai looked at the eldest princess, who was now more and more soft towards herself, and smiled slightly: "It's still early, the princess is resting for a while." So saying, he opened the beaded curtain and went out.

Seeing him like this, the eldest princess was already tightly gripping her clothes in the quilt: "Are you still angry with me?" ”

The bead curtain shook, Rong Hai stopped, looked back at her with a smile: "I don't have any anger in my heart." ”

"Then why do you come back and you don't look like you used to be?" The eldest princess asked him.

Once in the north of the country. Although she hated him, she always kept her duty as husband and wife, sleeping with him on the couch every day, although he only touched herself when he was drunk, but she never went to sleep on the warm couch when she didn't let him sleep.

But this time she changed her mind, but he refused to sleep on the couch with her, preferring to sleep on the warm couch every day!

Rong Hai looked at the eldest princess through the swaying bead curtain, and for a while, he just smiled bitterly, left a good rest, and left.

Rong Hai!

The eldest princess wanted to stop him, but she still had her pride, her self-esteem, her reserve and arrogance for more than ten years, and finally, she left the words of calling him in the bottom of her heart.

"Your Highness, the colt only takes pity on your miscarriage, so he will not be close to you. Don't worry. The maid on the side hurriedly comforted: "The horse has been treating you for more than ten years, you were unwilling to be with him and away from him at the beginning, and now you have a change of heart, it is too late for him to be happy, how can he be angry with you?" ”

"I'm just worried about him and mind if I ...... Li Yu"

"How could it be, Master Horse didn't mind before, and now he won't." The maid hurriedly said.

When the eldest princess heard this, she looked at her with teary eyes: "Really? ”

"It's true, how could the slave lie to you?" The maid laughed.

The eldest princess was relieved, but Rong Hai, who never went out: "Let someone inquire about what is written in Rong Che's letter." ”

"Yes."

"I went to invite the young lady to come again, and I said that I wanted to invite her to talk to me." The eldest princess said, her eyes staring at the incense burning in the incense burner: "The previous incense is also re-lit, I think she will like it." ”

The maid wanted to speak and stopped, but was glared back by the eldest princess.

The maid hurriedly lowered her head and went to invite Wei Qingqing.

When Wei Qingqing came, the eldest princess had already changed her clothes and got up, looking haggard, but it was not serious, and her face was thinly powdered, but she could also see that she had dressed up with her heart.

Wei Qingqing saluted, and smelled the faint fragrance in the room.

Wei Qingqing made wine with flowers and fruits by herself, and she was naturally very sensitive to the fragrance, she remembered that the eldest princess had a miscarriage more than a month ago, and this incense was smoked in the house.

Wei Qingqing secretly glanced at Lan Zhi, and sat down quietly on the warm couch on the side of the eldest princess.

"Are you getting better?" The eldest princess asked her first.

"Thanks to the Imperial Doctor, it's a lot better." Wei Qingqing said.

The eldest princess asked people to bring tea: "It's the snow top with emerald in the palace." You taste it. ”

Wei Qingqing looked at the eldest princess who was drinking tea with her eyes down, and naturally took the teacup, but as soon as the tea cup was opened, a cold aroma came to her nose, which was also the taste of the tea she drank on the day of the eldest princess's miscarriage.

Wei Qingqing lowered her eyes and took a sip, only to hear the eldest princess talk about the purpose of calling her here.

"I've always admired erudite women, and it's almost November. I heard from the horse that there is an early plum garden in this house, and the plum blossoms bloom very early, and I would like to invite a few talented women to enjoy the plum blossoms together. The eldest princess said, paused, and saw that Wei Qingqing didn't answer, so she looked at her directly: "The concubine has mentioned Mr. Yan's talent many times, and I see that the second brother and sister are also very close to Mr. Yan, so it is better for the second brother and sister to make this post for me and invite her to enjoy the plum." ”

Wei Qingqing's eyebrows jumped: "Mr. Yan has been sorting out ancient books in his house recently. If you know that the eldest princess is invited, you must be very happy, but I heard that Mr. Yan's father has arranged for someone to come to the capital to pick her up, and I don't know if he can catch up with it. ”

Yan Ruan's father was the first emperor's teacher, and he was also quite famous among the literati students, and if the eldest princess wanted to attack Yan Ruan, she would also have to weigh the influence of the Chinese people in the imperial court.

Moreover, this time, the six princes also intended to compete for the prince's return.

The eldest princess's mind was pierced, and she stared at Wei Qingqing coldly.

Wei Qingqing coughed a few times in discomfort, put down the tea, and smiled: "This tea tastes so good, but I don't know much about tea, I just feel that the aroma in this tea is exactly the same as the last time I drank it, which is really a waste of such a good tea." ”

When the words fell, the maid beside the eldest princess took half a step back nervously.

Wei Qingqing glanced at her and looked at the eldest princess: "Now that the weather is cold, Your Highness has just had a miscarriage, and it is not advisable to walk around outside, otherwise it is easy to fall ill." ”

"Thank you for your concern, since Mr. Yan can't come, presumably Miss Zhu can also come, she is the daughter of a university scholar, and she must be brilliant." After speaking, the eldest princess said directly to the maid beside her: "You go to the next post, by the way, I am afraid that Miss Zhu is not lively enough, and Miss Xu of the Xu family, the county lord of Chiyang of the Wei Mansion, are also invited." ”

Wei Qingqing looked at the eldest princess, but the eldest princess didn't seem to care: "Mr. Yan also posted there, the concubine has been uncertain recently, if Mr. Yan is here, it must be better." ”

Wei Qingqing saw that she was so careless, and knew that it was useless to talk to her more.

I used to think that the eldest princess was a smart and elegant and arrogant person, but now that I look at it, she is just a spoiled princess, and her arrogance and intelligence are all exchanged for Rong Hai's tolerance.

"Young lady. Something happened! ”

As he was talking, suddenly the pothos ran over in a panic.

Wei Qingqing saw that the eldest prince was listening, so she had to let the green pothos come in and reply.

As soon as Lu Pothos came in, she knelt down in front of Wei Qingqing, and said eagerly: "Fang Cai's slave maid was negligent, and he disappeared Young Master Tang'er, so that someone went to look for it, and then I knew that it was Mrs. Le Wu who came to the house and took him away." ”

Lan Sheng on one side looked at the messed up pothos, his eyebrows tightened slightly: "Young Master Tang'er is the biological son of Mrs. Le Wu, isn't it normal for her to pick up people, what are you doing so anxiously?" ”

"Slave maid...... Slave ......"

The pothos' eyes were a little confused.

The eldest princess's tea lid brushed the tea, and said lightly: "I didn't expect the second brother and sister to like to raise sons for others, and they can be so enthusiastic about women and children who have nothing to do with each other, how can they be so angry with me?" ”

"Qingqing doesn't dare." Wei Qingqing heard the meaning of the eldest princess's question, and immediately got up and saluted, but the eldest princess didn't mean to tell her to get up, only said disappointedly: "That's it." In your eyes, I'm afraid I'm not as good as an outsider, what dare not, don't dare, you did it. ”

Wei Qingqing frowned, and besides, she had been sent out by the eldest princess.

Not long after he came out, news came out in the capital, saying that Wei Qingqing was pampered and arrogant, and she didn't even pay attention to the eldest princess, and she was already disrespectful.

As soon as the words turned, it quickly became Rong Che's disrespect for the royal family, not only conniving at his wife's disrespect for the eldest princess, but also disrespecting the royal family's disobedience.

When Wei Qingqing heard these news, she was crooked on the chaise longue next to the koi pond, throwing fish food without a match, listening to Lan Zhi angrily come to pass the word, and only asked: "What is the prince's attitude?" ”

"The prince naturally seized this handle, not only cured our lord of a trumped-up charge of not being strict with his goddaughter, but also took the opportunity to take our master's official position from the fifth grade and demoted him to a government office that did not see the light of day." Lan Zhi huffed: "As for the second master, this is that the second master has not returned to Beijing yet, if he does, he will have to be arranged." ”

After Lan Zhi finished speaking, she saw Lan Sheng walking quickly, and looked at Wei Qingqing with a solemn face: "Someone came from outside, saying that it was on the order of the crown prince to punish you with twenty boards to set an example." ”

"Twenty boards?"

Lan Zhi's face turned white: "Miss's body bones, how can she withstand these twenty boards?" ”

Wei Qingqing was calmer than them, since the eldest princess had handed over this handle, how could the prince let himself go easily?
