Concubine Jing thought very well, but the next day she asked for peace, but the queen left her alone, and in the name of praying for the dragon seed in Concubine Ning's womb, she was detained in the Buddhist hall in the apse of Kunning Palace, copied the scriptures for a whole day, and did not let her leave until nightfall.

When she walked out of the small Buddha hall, her legs were trembling, and her wrists were even more sore, but the queen looked at her with a smile and said, "Praying for blessings is the most sincere, tomorrow, Song Ying will wait for her sister in the small Buddha hall, sister don't miss the time." ”

Concubine Jing listened to the queen's words, and her heart was so bitter that she didn't dare to refuse. Her impression of the emperor can no longer be worse.

"If you go back to Niangniang, the concubine is sincerely praying for Sister Ning and the child in her womb, and she will not miss the time." She lowered her head in humiliation, almost crushing her mouth full of silver teeth.

The queen received the letter and waved her hand.

Concubine Jing took Ah Huai's hand and retreated.

Back in Chonghua Palace, she closed the door and slapped Ah Huai with her backhand. Ah Huai was beaten by her and fell to the ground, got up again, and knelt at her feet.

Concubine Jing was still puzzled, stepped on her left wrist, crushed it hard, and said angrily, "You said that the queen didn't know what happened nineteen years ago, if she didn't know, could she humiliate the palace like this?" ”

"Niangniang spare her life, it is the slave maid who should not talk nonsense," Ah Huai couldn't bear Concubine Jing's crushing, and begged with a crying voice, "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid really know that she is wrong, please beg the slave to spare the slave and the maid this time!" The slave doesn't dare anymore......"

"Do you want this palace to spare you?" Concubine Jing looked at her coldly, squatted down in front of her, and pinched her chin hard, "But who can spare this palace?" ”

Ah Huai shivered at Concubine Shangjing's cruel gaze, and his whole body tensed.

Concubine Jing shook her off vigorously, "Go get the needle!" ”

Aunt Huai knew Concubine Jing's methods, the fear in her eyes deepened, she stepped back on her knees, took a sewing needle from the wooden box on the Bogu shelf, and handed it to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing took the sewing needle and stabbed her behind fiercely, Ah Huai didn't dare to scream, gritted her teeth tightly, and bit her lower lip with blood, and her mouth was full of rust.

"Let's go down!" Half an hour later, Concubine Jing finally vented enough and asked her to step down.

Aunt Huai was out of strength, as if she had been fished out of the water, and walked out.

At the beginning of the next day, she appeared in the dormitory as if nothing had happened, served Concubine Jing and got up, and went to Kunning Palace......

In Yilan Palace, when Lu Guifei learned of Concubine Jing's tragic situation, she sneered a few times happily, and said, "Concubine Jing, a slut, has finally suffered retribution!" ”

Aunt Wanhua stood aside, and was about to open her mouth to echo, when a figure ran in outside, it was Dezhuang, the great eunuch of the Three Princes' Mansion.

Seeing Dezhuang, Lu Guifei and Aunt Wanhua both changed their faces, "Why did you enter the palace, but there is news from the third prince?" Aunt Wanhua asked in a solemn voice.

Dezhuang knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "If you go back to your mother, the third prince has found it." ”

"Where's De'er?" Lu Guifei got up suddenly and asked urgently.

Dezhuang snorted, unspeakable.

"You minion, dumb?" Seeing this, Aunt Wanhua glared at him unhappily and shouted, "Don't reply to Niangniang's words quickly." ”

Only then did Dezhuang stiffen his neck and say, "Third prince...... He was found in the Nanfeng Pavilion in Wenyang County, and when the Tiger Pavilion found someone, the Third Prince was already the number one in the Pavilion......"

After listening to Dezhuang's words, Lu Guifei couldn't get up in one breath, her face was red with anger, and she almost fainted.

Aunt Wanhua's face also changed, she gave Concubine Lu Guifei a gloomy face, and asked, "Then now the three princes are back?" ”

Dezhuang swallowed his saliva and trembled, "I took it back, but I used too much medicine when I was in the South Wind Pavilion, master...... I can't live without a man anymore......"

"You can't live without a man, what does that mean?" Lu Guifei is a lady in the end, and she doesn't understand the rules of Flower Street and Willow Lane.

But Aunt Wanhua understood, and she whispered a few words in Lu Guifei's ear.

After hearing this, Lu Guifei was furious and said, "Beast! Those brutes! The palace wants to play the emperor and put them all to death! ”

"Mother's anger!" Aunt Wanhua knelt down at the feet of Lu Guifei and said urgently, "The future of the third prince is limitless, and there is no room for the slightest stain on his body. ”

When Lu Guifei heard Aunt Wanhua say this, she flicked her sleeves hard, looked at her with red eyes and said, "Then how about you want this palace?" ”

Aunt Wanhua looked up at Concubine Lu Guifei, paused, raised her hand and made a gesture to wipe her neck, and said coldly, "Kill them all." ”

Lu Guifei: "......"

Her pupils shrank, she looked at Aunt Wanhua, and after a long time, she said coldly, "This matter will be handed over to you, be sure to ...... Be sure to kill all the people who know De'er's identity. "Her son will replace the prince in the future, and he must not leave the slightest stain.

Aunt Wanhua saw that her master had calmed down, muttered for a moment, and said, "This is not enough, the mother has to find another person to take on the identity of the oiran." ”

Lu Guifei's eyes lit up, "You mean, transfer all the dirty names and stigma to that person's body?" ”

Aunt Wanhua bowed, "Exactly!" ”

"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" Lu Guifei bent down, personally helped Aunt Wanhua up, held her hand and explained, "Also, during this time, De'er's life should not be easy, you will go out of the palace with Dezhuang later, help the palace take a good look at him, and when he is better, you will come back." ”

"Slaves obey!"

Lu Guifei glanced at Dezhuang who was kneeling on the ground again, her phoenix eyes were cold, and she threatened, "You are the person trusted by the palace, and you are also the head of the Three Princes' Mansion, and the palace of the Three Princes' Mansion will be handed over to you. ”

"The minion has written down ......," Dezhuang agreed, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness.

"Go ahead!" After beating Dezhuang, Lu Guifei endured her grief and gave a gentle explanation to Aunt Wanhua.

Aunt Wanhua bowed her body and thanked her, turned around and retreated, Dezhuang kowtowed, and followed.

National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin returned to Luoshen Garden, it was already afternoon.

After riding all the way in the carriage, she was very tired, and after seeing it, she drank a glass of rose dew and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already a little dark.

"Yun Jiang," she called out in a hoarse voice, and Yun Jiang quickly came in, lit the lamp, hung up the curtain, and said with a smile, "The girl is awake, thirsty, right?" The slave and maid went and poured you a cup of warm water, drank it, and then got up. ”

Lu Nianjin nodded, Yun Jiang quickly brought a glass of warm water, she took two sips, and her originally dry throat was much more comfortable.

"Hasn't the prince come back yet?" Putting down the teacup, she asked softly.

Yun Jiang served her and put on her coat, and said, "Not yet, but dinner is ready, warm on the stove, the girl can eat it first, and it is okay to eat it together when the prince comes back." ”

"Then wait for the prince to come back and eat together," Lu Nianjin said, "I'm not hungry yet." ”

"That girl is ...... now"

"Let's go to the pharmacy," Lu Nianjin said, "Mrs. Wan Gong Han, I want to make some pills to warm the uterus and relieve pain for her." ”

Yun Jiang stood up and smiled, "The girl treats Mrs. Wan so well. ”

Lu Nianjin didn't say anything, holding her hand and walking out.

The next day, when Zhang received a few bottles of pills that Lu Nianjin had prepared for her, she was grateful, if it weren't for Lu Nianjin not being in front of her, she was afraid that she would cry.

She has a thin relationship in this life, her father and mother died early, and she married into the Wan family before she was married, Wan Zhong is a son-in-law, she is more than dignified, not charming enough, the relationship between husband and wife is plain, never considerate, and her mother-in-law is a strong one, and she can't wait to step her into the mud.

Over the years, in addition to the crescent moon and these maiden servants, Lu Nianjin is the first person who is willing to care about her, take care of her, and take her to heart, and she really can't wait to repay her with everything she has.

What's more, her kindness to her is more than that, she also saved her three lives in peace and security.

Thinking like this, Zhang made a decision in his heart, a very important decision.

Lu Nianjin only learned about Zhang's crazy move five days later, and the wife of the richest man in Jinling and the wife of Wan Daguan actually took the initiative to become a slave and sold herself to her.

In other words, in the future, her person and her life will belong to the National Teacher's Mansion and belong to her.

"Madame, what's the matter?" Lu Nianjin glanced at her disapprovingly and said.

Zhang's appearance was relaxed, "The crown princess doesn't have to take it to heart, I am willing to become a slave and sell myself to you with a copper plate." It is also my reward for my priceless trust in you. ”

Lu Nianjin: "......"

After a long time, she sighed softly, "That's it, since you think it's good, then so be it!" Just as this slave contract is a secret between you and me, when you regret it, come to me again, I will never embarrass you. ”

"Thank you, Crown Princess!" Zhang said with sincere gratitude.

Then, the two talked about the reopening of Wisteria Mansion.

After the big frame was finished, Lu Nianjin glanced at Yun Shu, and Yun Shu immediately handed over a small notebook.

Lu Nianjin handed the small note to Zhang's and said, "This is the specific charter of the Wisteria Mansion that I wrote, including the recipes on the first and second floors, the entertainment on the third floor and the arrangements for the inn on the fourth floor, you take a closer look, if there is no problem, arrange it as soon as possible, it is best to open in the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as to host some big banquets and make a reputation." ”

Zhang took Xiao Za over, looked at it carefully, and said, "There are many dishes on it, which I have never heard of or seen before. ”

Lu Nianjin smiled faintly, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and said, "My grandfather was a very famous chef in Shuzhou, and my mother was also very good at cooking. ”

When Zhang heard her say this, a touch of gloom appeared on his face, "I'm sorry, I made the crown princess feel in love." ”

"It's okay," Lu Nianjin put down the teacup and waved his hand, "I've been used to it all these years." ”

It took Zhang half an hour to finish reading the small note written by Lu Nianjin, the more she looked back, the more shocked her heart became, after reading it, she looked at Lu Nianjin excitedly, "With the crown princess in charge, our Wisteria Mansion will definitely be ten times more popular than the previous Wisteria Mansion after it opens, oh no, a hundred times." ”

"I hope so." Lu Nianjin said, "Actually, in addition to restaurants, I also want to do a pharmaceutical business, jewelry and clothing business......

Hearing her say this, Zhang frowned slightly, and after a while, he said in a suspicious voice, "Crown Princess, you won't have a grudge against Miss Meng, right?" "Otherwise, what you want to do is all Meng Qingting's opponent.

"What if I say yes?" Lu Nianjin looked at Zhang's with eyes like water and asked rhetorically.

Zhang smiled heartily, "I'm already the crown princess, so naturally I have to help the princess." ”

Lu Nianjin nodded, "There is Mrs. Lao, when these shops open, I will give you 20% of dry shares, what do you think?" ”

The Zhang family didn't care much about these, Lu Nianjin was her life-saving benefactor, even if she gave her for nothing, she was also willing, so she only said at the moment, "It's all up to the princess." ”

After finishing the matter, as if she remembered something, she took out a brocade box from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Nianjindao, "I haven't congratulated the crown princess on being pregnant again, this hairpin should be my congratulatory gift." ”

Lu Nianjin took the brocade box, and on the red velvet cloth, there was a pool of flowing white jade, warm and moist, full of water, and it was carved from the best mutton fat jade at a glance.

"This is the dowry that my grandmother prepared for me when she was alive, and it is said that it was a tribute from the previous dynasty, and it only flowed out of the palace when the dynasty changed." Zhang explained the origin of the white hosta with a smile.

Lu Nianjin felt that it was a little precious and wanted to refuse, but Zhang said, "Compared with the princess's kindness to me and Ping'er and An'er, this hairpin is just a thing outside the body, it is really light, so the princess will accept it." ”

She has already said this, Lu Nianjin can only accept it.

At this time, Ugin had already fallen to the west, and Zhang estimated that the prince would return soon, so he offered his farewell.

Lu Nianjin knew her intentions, looked at Yun Shu, and said, "You send Mrs. Wan for me." ”

"Yes, girl!" Yun Shu agreed, and led the Zhang family outside.

After Zhang left, Lu Nianjin stood up and held Yun Jiang's hand for a while.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked at Yun Jiang and said, "How has Huanxi been these days, do you know?" ”

Yun Jiang said, "The slave maid asked Xiaohuan to help keep an eye on it, and I heard her say that Huanxi took the medicine prescribed by the girl, and now the edema has receded, and the spots on his face have faded, Chen Fu has moved back to sleep since two days ago, and several maids of red peony and red medicine have been beaten, and they don't dare to go to Chen Fu to fight for the wind and be jealous." ”

"That's good," Lu Nianjin breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Fuken had changed his ways.

What she didn't know was that Chen Fu's painful change was completely forced.

He was tortured for five full days, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he changed his temper.

After talking about Huanxi, not long after, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then, Xiao Xun opened the curtain and walked in.

He came back very late these days, Lu Nianjin stepped forward, and couldn't help but be curious, "Why did the prince come back so early today?" ”

Xiao Xun raised his hand, rubbed it on her heart, and said, "Father and Emperor officially made a decree today, sealing Jiang Xinyue as a princess, and pro-Japanese country, Jiang Qiuyue and Qing Yao as concubines, three days later, after the send-off banquet, Mo Mingren will take a wife and two concubines to return to the Japanese country." ”

Lu Nianjin nodded, "As soon as he leaves, the autumn season will begin, right?" ”

Xiao Xun snorted, pulled her to sit down on the Luohan bed, and said, "This palace knows that you value the Huang family, a few days ago, this palace sent a big Confucian to the Huang family. ”

Lu Nianjin's eyes lit up, and he understood what he meant, "Does the prince want the eldest brother to be my dependence?" ”

Xiao Xun glanced at her, "Could it be that you want to rely on the Lu family?" ”

"By the Lu family?" Lu Nianjin sneered, "I'm not a fool, if the Lu family is reliable, sows can go up trees." ”

Xiao Xun: "......"

After Lu Nianjin spoke, she realized that she was bald, she stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, turned her face away, coughed, and changed the topic, "In the past few days, how has the queen mother's headache?" Have you ever recidived? ”

Xiao Xun smiled, "With your help, it is naturally a medicine to cure the disease." ”

"Oh," Lu Nianjin replied sullenly, and just as he didn't know what to say, Ah Yuan came in to urge dinner.

Lu Nianjin caught the steps and immediately went down the pole.

Because Master Wudong passed away less than a month ago, Lu Nianjin specially explained that the kitchen continued to be a vegetarian.

Yes, today's diet is still all vegetarian, Lu Nianjin is pregnant, but she likes to eat something light, Xiao Xun is heavy, and the amount of food is inevitably much lighter.

Lu Nianjin looked at him like this, put down the jade chopstick, and tried to say, "Or, I'll personally cook and prepare a few meals for the prince?" ”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Xun raised his head to look at her, shook it gently, and said, "No need, you are pregnant, how can this palace be willing to let you continue to cook." ”

"Then forget it," Lu Nianjin was not reluctant.

After dinner, the two went to the garden to eat as usual.

After walking for two quarters of an hour, Lu Nianjin was tired, raised his head and asked Xiao, "It's almost, let's go back!" ”

Xiao Xun nodded, led her in the direction of Luoshen Garden, and when he was about to arrive at Luoshen Garden, he suddenly clenched her hand and said, "The third day of September is the birthday of Chengguo Gong, is your birthday gift ready?" ”

Lu Nianjin was stunned when he heard this, "Not yet, not yet." ”

"Let's start preparing in the next few days." Xiao Xun nodded, "At that time, this palace will accompany you back." ”

He didn't forget how thrilling the old lady happened when she celebrated her birthday last year, if he hadn't softened for a while, Ling Xuan followed and secretly protected her, but now, the grass on her grave was three feet high.

Lu Nianjin knew that the most important thing in ancient times was filial piety, the elders could not be loving, but the younger generations could not be filial.

Chengguogong's birthday banquet, as long as she still has a breath of air, she must go, even if she climbs, she must climb back, otherwise those officials in the Yushitai will never let her go, and Concubine Lu and Concubine Jing will definitely not let her go!

As they spoke, the two arrived at Luoshen Garden.

Xiao Xun sent Lu Nianjin in, and then went back to the front yard, he still had some newspapers to deal with.

As soon as the time turned, it was time for the feast three days later.

For such a grand banquet, Lu Nianjin naturally wanted to enter the palace, because she was pregnant, so she deliberately brought the four Yun with her, just in case.

As usual, she went to the queen's Kunning Palace first.

Jiang Rongyue arrived one step ahead of her, and was holding the queen's arm to speak, when she saw her come in, a touch of unnaturalness flashed on her face, and she paused for a moment before getting up and bowing, "Rongrong has seen my cousin, please say hello to my cousin." ”

Lu Nianjin glanced at the veil on her face, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, perhaps because of the makeup, the previous hideous wound was much smoother, and there was almost no trace of injury through a layer of haze, but there was a little more beauty like a flower across the clouds. The eye makeup is also more delicate than before, and she deserves to be the first beauty in the capital.

"Cousin doesn't have to be polite," she retracted her gaze and cried faintly.

Jiang Rongyue straightened up, and after she sat down, Fu sat down next to the queen again, touched her face and said, "Thanks to the ointment that my cousin made for me, otherwise I might not be able to see anyone for the rest of my life." ”

Lu Nianjin glanced at her, "Those six bottles of scar removal cream are the queen mother's thoughts to her cousin, and my cousin should thank the queen mother." ”

Jiang Rongyue didn't know that the queen had a silver ticket, she looked at the queen in surprise, and when the queen saw this, she patted her hand lightly and said, "The palace wants to give the crown princess 30,000 taels of silver tickets, but she didn't accept it." ”

When Jiang Rongyue heard this, the expression on her face became uncomfortable, and she said, "My cousin-in-law has always been filial. ”

The queen felt the same way, "What you said is that your cousin-in-law and your cousin are extremely filial, and the three of you are good children. ”

Because of the improvement of the relationship with Lu Nianjin, the queen is no longer obsessed with stuffing Jiang Rongyue into the East Palace, and she wants to get along with Lu Nianjin even more now, otherwise, in the future, if she commits another trouble, she won't treat her, what can I do?

A headache can kill someone! No matter how important a niece is, is it important to have her own life?

Jiang Rongyue didn't know why the queen had changed her attitude towards Lu Nianjin, she only felt that her heart was very sour, obviously before, there was only one her in her aunt's heart, and even her cousin's status had to be in the back row, but suddenly, her cousin-in-law's status surpassed her.

This is something she cannot tolerate.

The queen has always been close to Jiang Rongyue, and with just one glance, she found that something was wrong with her, she frowned, looked at her suspiciously, and said with concern, "Rongrong, what's wrong with you?" But not feeling well? Do you want Imperial Doctor Xuan to take a look? ”

"No," Jiang Rongyue quickly shook her head and explained when she heard the queen's inquiry, "Auntie, I'm not uncomfortable...... I just think that the relationship between you and your cousin-in-law is getting better and better, but I'm afraid that in a few years, even my status in your heart will not be as good as my cousin-in-law! ”

She said half-truths, half coquettish, half temptation.

The queen shook her head and laughed, and blamed her, "You child, this palace is just such a child as your cousin, and his crown princess is not equal to half a daughter of this palace!" Can this palace not hurt your cousin? ”
