I'll definitely ask for clarity next time, but this next time, it's actually June. June 12 is the Qianqiu Festival of the queen, they are all women of the clan, and they want to enter the palace to congratulate.

The Xu family, where her biological mother was born, is from the same family as her favorite woman, Queen Yuanli.

When Empress Yuanli died, Jinghu was still a little doll who didn't understand anything, but she had only heard about her.

She has a son and a daughter, and is pregnant with a third child, and her brother has made the position of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, faintly pointing to the throne.

Such a grand situation, Jinghu didn't understand the meaning in the past, but in recent years, she has gradually become sensible and understands what this means to the reigning Empress Zhang.

Of course, Empress Zhang will not like the Xu family, so since Empress Yuanli died, her mother has not entered the palace for many years. Today, too, she followed the princess of the county and her sister-in-law into the palace.

Her eldest brother Jing Shen has military merits, so although her sister-in-law is a concubine and daughter-in-law, she also has a five-grade fate. Every time there is a big banquet in the palace, they also have to enter the palace together to congratulate.

To tell the truth, although the princess of the county is her mother-in-law, she is not too afraid of her.

It's not that she relies on her father's favor to do nonsense, it's just that people always have to be reasonable. What she said made sense, and Jinghu naturally wanted to listen to it, but if it was unreasonable, she would not wronged herself.

Unfortunately, she has been fighting with her mother for many years, and she has become more and more impatient, and there is almost no time when she makes sense to speak, so Jinghu doesn't seem to listen to her very much.

In the past few years, for her unjustified discipline and punishment, my father also protected himself and quarreled with her several times, and in recent years, everyone has kept the surface peaceful more.

Jinghu suddenly felt a little good about having a sister-in-law. From the Qianqian Palace, there were only two people, she and the princess of the county, who couldn't make two carriages with great fanfare.

And her sister-in-law passed the door in Layueli, and there were three female relatives who wanted to enter the palace, so the princess of the county used the excuse that it was too crowded and asked someone to prepare two carriages.

Of course, Jinghu still prefers her sister-in-law to the princess of the county, so she also shares a carriage with her sister-in-law today.

Her sister-in-law seemed to be very interested in the imperial city, and every time she entered the palace, she always had to lift the curtain to see the scenery in the palace.

Jinghu has been used to being wild in the palace since he was a child, and often goes to several princesses, so he doesn't think it's very novel.

It's just that she also thinks it's a little strange, her sister-in-law is a girl from a family of poetry, books and etiquette, why can't she hold back her curiosity about the palace, and can't help but lift the curtain to see the scenery outside the car window.

It can be seen that the rumors are also full of untruths, and not all the girls from Qingliu families must be better than them, the little ladies from the noble clan.

Jing Hu was thinking happily alone, and heard her sister-in-law ask her, "Third sister, do you see if it is the East Palace over there?" ”

Jinghu leaned over, glanced at the window, and nodded, "It's indeed the East Palace." Since I went to Jiangnan, I probably haven't been to Donggong for a long time. ”

She suddenly remembered, "By the way, does my sister-in-law know why Concubine Xu in the East Palace was demoted to Nanyuan by Jinshang?" ”

Ke Mingbi lowered her voice, "Last year, the crown princess was pregnant, and after three months, her health is still not good. Later, it was found out that Concubine Xu had done something inside. ”

"Now when I was angry, I took her place away."

Jinghu didn't expect it to be because of such a thing, and couldn't help but be a little shocked. In her heart, this cousin who is the prince's concubine is very demure, could it be that she was framed by someone, right?

It's no wonder she thinks like this, after all, she is used to seeing wives and concubines fighting each other and falling against each other. But in the East Palace, her cousin is also more favored than the crown princess.

But she was still more dissatisfied with the prince. Since he likes Sister Guannan, why didn't he directly make her the crown princess in the first place, and everyone was bitter when such a thing happened.

"Didn't the prince intercede for her?"

Ke Ming said: "It is precisely because of the intercession that the punishment is more severe today. After all, it is the matter of the heirs, and if such a thing can be tolerated, what else cannot be tolerated? ”

"I'm thinking he's too indistinguishable from the heavy."

pleaded for mercy, but the punishment was heavier. If it hadn't been for her sister-in-law's explanation, she would have had to think about it.

These things were so complicated, and she suddenly didn't want to grow up.

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Ke Mingbi asked her again, "Does the third sister know how many palaces there are in the East Palace and how big they are?" ”

Every time she goes, she goes to Sister Guannan's Qi Nian Palace, and occasionally goes to the Crown Princess's Chunhe Palace, how can she know how big it is?

I don't know if it's her delusion, she thinks that her sister-in-law seems to be particularly interested in Donggong. In the past, she would always take a few more looks.

Jinghu didn't bother to think about what she was thinking, so she just replied first, "I don't have a very good idea of the size of the palace, so I don't know the specific size. ”

"However, I don't think the East Palace seems to be very big, and the furnishings in the Crown Princess's Niangniang Palace don't seem to be as good as those in Princess Zhenjing's Mingse Palace."

Pretending to be a little naïve and unintentional, "Is my sister-in-law interested in the East Palace?" ”

Ke Mingbi's eyes flickered, and then he smiled slightly embarrassedly, "Not really, it's just that my brother was a subordinate of the East Palace when he was not admitted to the Jinshi and instructed the prince in his schoolwork, so I heard him talk about it." ”

"Even now, he is also friendly with the crown prince, and sometimes he stays in the East Palace."

In fact, Ke Mingbi is not interested in the East Palace, she doesn't care, anyway, this palace has nothing to do with their family. Her eldest brother is only the concubine of the county king, not the prince.

On the contrary, after she was poked by her, she smiled with a little embarrassment, and she felt a little interesting.

But compared to her, of course, Ke Mingxu's matter is more important.

"Isn't Brother Ke Shi an official in the Hanlin Academy now? Will you still stay in the East Palace? ”

Ke Mingbi said that his brother was honored, "The prince is the prince, and my brother is a subordinate, so I don't dare to boast, but it can be regarded as a friendship between half a teacher." ”

"Now that my brother is studying in the Hanlin Academy, the prince often has questions to ask him, so he will summon him to the East Palace. Once, my brother came to see me in the palace of the county king, and he was hurriedly summoned by the attendants of the East Palace. ”

Jinghu was thoughtful.

Ke Mingxu came to the house to look for her sister, and she had only seen that once. I don't know if she said that Ke Mingxu was summoned to the East Palace, whether it was before or after. In the future, she still has to pay more attention to the affairs of Hejingtang.

It's been a month since they were separated, and she really missed him.
