"Madam, this is a letter from the slave maid of Diao County!"

A grandmother handed the letter in her hand into Yin Lihua's hand.

"Diao Juncheng?"

Although there is no bulge in the abdomen, Yin Lihua, who has been confirmed to be pregnant, is full of questions, although the relationship between the Diao family and the Yin family is irreversible, but Diao Juncheng has never contacted Yin Lihua in order to avoid suspicion, or to show that he is an official and upright, but now he suddenly wrote a letter, which of course made Yin Lihua a little puzzled.

Yin Lihua has been staying in the yard in recent days because she is pregnant, and what has happened outside recently is not clear at all.

Mama whispered to Yin Lihua: "Madam, now there are crazy rumors outside, saying that the Hanging Mirror Division is arresting people everywhere, and it is aimed at Diao Juncheng, saying that Diao Juncheng has committed a lot of crimes, and it is difficult to write, madam, you say, Diao Juncheng is a generous elder in Luanzhou, and since he served as the Beiping County Cheng, the family is praised, how can there be a sin?" Is there some misunderstanding in this? ”

Yin Lihua opened the letter, and Mama looked at Yin Lihua, whose brows were getting tighter and tighter, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

"Mama Zhao, you are a concubine's close person, you have been following you from Luanzhou to this Beiping, you tell me, what should I do?"

Yin Lihua suddenly asked.

Mama Zhao looked at Yin Lihua with a confused expression, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, what did Diao Juncheng say in the letter?" ”

Yin Lihua sighed and said: "You are right, Diao Juncheng said in the letter that the Hanging Mirror Division maliciously fabricated charges in order to establish merit, and the target is to know our Luanzhou family, because although our Luanzhou family is rich, it has no foundation in Beiping, and there is no member of the three grades or more, so this has become the goal of the Hanging Mirror Division, he hopes that I can show his mind in front of His Royal Highness, and there is no crime of corruption and perversion of the law!" ”

Mama Zhao hurriedly said: "Madam, this Diao Juncheng is the face of our Luanzhou family, if there is no Diao Juncheng in Beiping, Luanzhou people don't know how much bullying they will suffer, and the reputation of the Hanging Mirror Division even the old slave I know that it is particularly bad, if you can help a group of Diao Juncheng, Madam, you can help it!" ”

"Why don't I write a letter to my father and ask?"

Yin Lihua said suddenly.

Mama Zhao stopped: "Madam, how far is this Beiping from Luancheng?" Even if the fast horse comes and goes, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a few months, and the actions of the Hanging Mirror Division are so frequent, according to His Highness's temperament, I am afraid that this matter must be solved before the New Year! ”

"You're right, you're right!"

Yin Lihua nodded frequently, but she still couldn't make up her mind, but kept saying: "You let me think about it, I'm thinking about it..."

"Madame!"

Mama Zhao pointed to the child in Yin Lihua's belly and said, "You are pregnant with Your Highness's child, even if Your Highness does not agree, Your Highness will not be able to do anything to our Yin family, so why don't you try it?" ”

Yin Lihua hesitated for a moment, then nodded, then got up, and said to Mama Zhao: "Your Highness should be in the study now, I will make some pastries and send them to Your Highness, if it is late, Your Highness may go to bed elsewhere." ”

Mama Zhao held Yin Lihua's arm and said to Yin Lihua: "That old slave helps Mrs. ”

"Good!"

Yin Lihua prepared a box of pastries, and took the maids and grandmothers to the study where Liu De was, and met Ma Yuxuan and Liu De's eldest son Liu Zhao on the way.

Although Liu De's harem except for the concubine Chen Ying, the other concubines are all of the same rank, but in fact, according to time, status, family background, and even Liu De's degree of favor, etc., there is naturally a ranking, and Ma Yuxuan gave birth to Liu De's eldest son, plus his own ability and his younger brother also has a certain status in the army, so it is natural to become the third person after Chen Ying and Li Lan.

Gao Taotao and Ma Yuxuan are the most difficult to deal with, but in the Qian family, they still value Ma Yuxuan more, and Gao Taotao only gave birth to a daughter, so he is not as good as Ma Yuxuan in status.

Yin Lihua hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Ma Yuxuan.

Ma Yuxuan glanced at the food box in Yin Lihua's hand meaningfully, nodded, and left.

Yin Lihua waited until Ma Yuxuan walked away before she dared to stand up straight, and Mama Zhao was still thinking on the side, "When Madame gives birth to a little son, you don't have to salute in front of her." ”

"Okay, don't say more, it's just a salute, Sister Ma has never bullied us!"

Yin Lihua has a good temperament, and she also explained a sentence for Ma Yuxuan.

Mama Zhao didn't have much to say when she saw this.

When Yin Lihua arrived outside Liu De's study, she saw Dian Wei standing outside the door with a halberd like Mount Tai.

Dian Wei saw Yin Lihua, bowed slightly and said, "Mrs. Yin!" ”

Yin Lihua didn't dare to take it in front of Dian Wei, so she also returned the salute and said: "General Dian, the concubine made some pastries for His Royal Highness, and asked General Dian to give a word or two." ”

Dian Wei nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, Madame." ”

Dian Wei went in for a while, then came out and said to Yin Lihua: "Your Highness, please ask Madame to come in." ”

Yin Lihua nodded, and entered the study with the food box, while Mama Zhao and the others could only wait outside.

When Yin Lihua saw Liu De, Liu De just put a piece of music in his hand next to him, obviously just finished reading it.

Liu De glanced up at Yin Lihua and said with a smile: "You are pregnant now, you still have to rest quietly!" ”

Yin Lihua replied: "The doctor said that it is better to walk around more!" ”

Liu De nodded, "It's too!" Walking around is good for your physical and mental health. ”

Yin Lihua stepped forward a few steps, opened the food box, and said to Liu De: "Husband, the concubine has made a few pastries for you, you have been busy all day, take care of your body!" ”

"Haha!"

Liu De smiled, put down the brush in his hand, and said: "Speaking of which, today is not so tired, it's okay if you don't say it, this is indeed a little hungry, let Gu see, what delicious food have you made." ”

"There are hazelnut cakes, osmanthus cakes, and your favorite date cakes..."

Liu De listened and nodded again and again, "The jujube cake is good, the jujube cake is good!" ”

took out a piece of jujube cake from the food box, raised his head and swallowed the jujube cake, and then gave a thumbs up, "If you want to say that this is a pastry, it is still the best you make." ”

"If the husband likes it, the concubine will make it for you every day."

Yin Lihua was also full of joy, watching Liu De eat happily, Yin Lihua wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu De saw that Yin Lihua had something in his heart, put down the pastry in his hand, took Yin Lihua's hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" Look at you like you're in trouble? ”

Yin Lihua's lips opened slightly, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her mind, and finally she didn't say anything about Diao Juncheng, but found an excuse: "The concubine has been away from home for a long time, but she misses her father, mother, brother, and younger brother a little." ”

Liu De suddenly said: "Lone should have thought of it a long time ago, this is Lonely, but you are pregnant, and now the weather is even more changeable, it is not suitable to travel far, in this way, Lone wrote a letter, let Yin Zhi and Yin Xing enter Beijing, serve as an official position, with him and the two of them, you will not be too homesick, and when you give birth to a child and take care of your body, Lone will allow you to return to your hometown." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, concubine!"

Yin Lihua's eyes were slightly red, and she hurriedly thanked.
