Seeing that the old lady wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao couldn't help asking, "What does Mother want to say?" ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "I'm just afraid that she will go to make trouble with red makeup." Don't you know, didn't the Sixth Highness go with red makeup on the night of the palace banquet, and the Sixth Highness is really ...... It's really more and more like the regent. Words and deeds, there is no one who is not the same, and it is completely two people from before. But it was clearly a person, so this is a change. His Royal Highness has changed, there must be the promotion of Empress Dowager Li and the regent behind this, plus the injuries on his body have been healed, which may be a big turn for the better, so we can't let go of the red makeup yet. ”

Xiao's eyes lit up, "Mother means, there is still hope for red makeup?" ”

The old lady said to her: "Whether there is hope or not, first, depends on whether she fights for herself, second, it depends on whether our night family is willing to cooperate, and third, it depends on whether Ye Wenyan is willing to let her go." If you are willing to let it go, everything is easy to say, if you are not willing to ......," the old lady sighed, "I only knew that the child was willful and spoiled the old man, but now it seems that this is not the case. She has her own ideas, and she still holds grudges, the most important thing is that she must have a big backer behind her. So I'm afraid that she will go to the red makeup, and I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness's plan to start again will be disrupted by her. ”

For the word "falling short", Ye Jingsheng and his family were really touched, even so deep that as long as these four words were mentioned, the two of them collectively trembled.

What a good plan, it's just one step away, it's just one step away from success! As a result, as soon as Ye Wenyan came back, he smashed everything at his fingertips. Sometimes they are thinking, on the second day of the lunar month, even if Ye Wenyan comes back an hour late, or half an hour, as long as she comes back after the death of the first emperor, then everything is a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much she makes trouble, she will not be able to enter the palace.

It's a pity, how can there be so many assumptions, a fall short is a failure, and there is no regret. But now that things have taken a turn for the better, His Royal Highness the Sixth has actually been cured, and the whole person has changed, which is really good news.

So Xiao Shi said: "When I turn around, I will send someone to the Suwang Courtyard to send a message, so that they can make preparations first." If it's a big deal, close the door, or simply move to a place that no one knows about. In short, don't meet the four girls, as long as you don't see each other, things won't be big. ”

Ye Jingsheng is not optimistic, "Mother said that she has a big backer behind her, but there is speculation? ”

The old lady panicked, and there was a name that had almost rushed out of her mouth, but she swallowed it back. Then he shook his head: "No, but the left and right are just that Yunchen." ”

Xichun, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth: "What's the matter with that arrow, the red arrow?" Why did an arrow suddenly appear in front of us and pierce our shoulders? Is it a ghost? The more she talked, the more panicked she became, and finally simply knelt down and said to the old lady, "I have a guess, old lady, the concubine has a guess." Do you say, is it true that the fourth lady died on the second day of the lunar month, and the one who came back later was not a living person, but a ghost. Otherwise, why would she be so white? Yes, not only is her face white, but she is also cold, I used to be a first-class maid by her side, and I have been in contact with her, so I know that she is very cold, and she is not the body temperature that a living person should have. So you say, is she a ghost or not? ”

When he said this, Liu was almost frightened and cried, and the whole person shrank in the chair and trembled.

The old lady was also afraid, but what she was afraid of was not a ghost, she was afraid, in case she thought wrongly, Ye Wenyan's backer was not Yun Chen, then this matter would not be easy to do, and if she went against Ye Wenyan again, she would really be looking for death.

For a while, there was a brief silence in the room, and Xichun wanted to say something, but this silence made her dare not speak.

I don't know how long it was, but I finally heard Ye Jingsheng say, "What the hell, where did the ghost come from?" said that Wen Yan's backer that night was Yun Chen, and you don't know who Yun Chen was waiting for. I heard that the one who is the most protective of the short, it must be Yun Chen's begging, so there are these things, and there is nothing to think of. ”

The old lady immediately nodded and scolded Xichun: "A maid is a maid, I don't know anything." Our Northern Qi is not without god-like figures, so it is normal for such a fact to occur. Who let that Yunchen take a fancy to Ye Wenyan, so in the future, you still have to restrain yourself, at least don't let her feel too much on the surface, otherwise if you come again, your life will be gone. ”

After listening to this explanation, Xichun stopped thinking about ghosts, but she didn't understand, "I didn't do anything, why did I take me with me?" Looking at the Liu family again, my heart was even more unfair, "Why is Sister Liu okay?" If the whole family suffers, shouldn't Sister Liu be the same as us? Why did you just let her go? No, there are also five young ladies, both of them have been spared, what does this mean? Could it be that you are in the same group as Miss Four? ”

The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table again, "When is it, are you still competing for favor?" Why I piggyback on you, don't you understand? Who did you crawl out from under and forget so quickly? Hum! The one who turned his back on the old master, you expect her to spare you? ”

Ye Jingsheng looked at Xichun and took the initiative to play a round for her: "Mother, don't be angry, let's think about what to do in the future." ”

The old lady snorted coldly again, "What should I do?" I'm not telling you how to live your life and how to live your life. I told you so much yesterday, you have to go to heart. Your father is gone, but our night family still has to hold up, otherwise sooner or later someone will be kicked out of the inner city of Lin'an, and it won't look good at that time. ”

She said and looked at the Xiao family again, the housewife was still sitting on the ground, and she couldn't help but be angry that Ye Jingsheng didn't pay attention to the Xiao family, and she was angry that the Xiao family herself was not angry. "Quickly help your daughter-in-law up! She is the head of my general's mansion and your wife, if you still want to think about it, you can live a good life with your wife. Only husband and wife can fight against foreign enemies together, otherwise you will only have to wait for death. Don't blame the old body for scaring you, you should have experienced it yourself these days. ”

Ye Jingsheng was obedient this time, not only helped Xiao Shi up, but also helped her pull the corner of her clothes, and even wiped her tears for her.

Xiao wanted to cry again as soon as he was wronged, but he hurriedly comforted him softly, it looked like he was really a loving couple.

The old lady was very satisfied with this, nodded and said, "Go back, the old body is also tired." ”

The husband and wife saluted the old lady and walked out of the house first. The old lady glanced at Xichun and said coldly: "Don't follow up quickly!" A concubine is a slave and a maid, and a slave and a maid must serve the master, the lord and the lady are your masters, you cheer me up! The night family doesn't keep useless people, since you follow your master, you have to give him a child, if you can't even give birth to a child, it doesn't make sense for this concubine to be inappropriate. ”

Although the words were not good, Xichun also understood that the old lady was telling her to work hard. Although Xiao is the main mother of this family, after all, she is old, and she is definitely not as good as her. Now that the second young master is not welcomed, she will be killed by the master, if she can give birth to a son, then she will be able to squeeze the second lady in one fell swoop in the future.

She was very happy, and hurriedly chased Ye Jingsheng away.

Liu also got up to say goodbye, and the old lady remembered that she seemed to have seen Ye Chulian at the door just now, and wanted to ask her where she went and why she came, but when she looked at the door, she found that the person was missing again, and she couldn't help but get angry.

"It's useless for a son, it's useless for a daughter who isn't a daughter-in-law!" The old lady sighed again and again.

Jun Tao hurriedly comforted, "The son is still useful, the second master and the second lady still have to have a useful son-in-law, at least they can inherit the family business in the future." ”

"You know what." The old lady waved her hand impatiently, "The Ye family is the home of military generals, and there are two generals in a row, and such a family will be feared by the royal family." The more military power is in hand, the more you must know how to avoid suspicion, so the boss asked Feiyu to read and learn calligraphy, but he only didn't teach him martial arts, which is the reason. It is impossible for the Ye family to produce a third generation of generals, otherwise the three generations of the army are all subordinates of the Ye family, how can the royal family rest assured? That's why the old body always said that the son was useless, and the daughter had to be useful, because the daughter could enter the palace, and then use the power of the night family to protect her position in the harem and protect the children she gave birth to. Then if her child can become an emperor in the future, it will be a result that both the royal family and the night family are willing to see. ”

Jun Tao nodded and echoed: "The old lady is right, it's the slave who thinks less. But that's not what I thought in my heart.

Is the royal family really willing to see the daughter of the night family enter the palace? Are you really willing to let the child born to the daughter of the Ye family sit on the throne? Once this is done, how powerful will the night family have?

I'm afraid that this is not what the royal family wants to see, let alone what the old generals and generals think. In the entire Ye family, only the old lady has such ambitions, and only the old lady wants to make the Ye family's power go further.

Seeing Jun Tao thinking about things, the old lady snorted again, "I know what you think, you think that the old man didn't have such ambitions when he was alive?" Hmph, if it really didn't, he wouldn't have set up a family affair for the Sixth Highness for that night. At that time, it seemed that His Royal Highness the Sixth was going to inherit the throne, so the old man and I were the same. ”

Jun Tao didn't say anything, she was a slave raised by the old lady since she was a child, so naturally everything was according to the old lady, but in this matter, she believed that the old general didn't think so. Because long before the fourth lady was engaged, the old general returned all the military power that should be handed over to the royal family on the grounds of old age, otherwise the first emperor would not have been able to marry the fourth lady and the sixth highness.

In the final analysis, this is a deal, one is for the granddaughter, and the other is for the Ye family to no longer be feared by the royal family, and the other is to let the Ye family take the initiative to return the military power and remove more than half of the power of the Ye family. No matter how you look at it, the night family is giving in, and the royal family wins.

She helped the old lady into the house, and the old lady said as she walked: "If my daughter can live until now, how can Northern Qi be such a world!" ”
