On the first day of the new year, the ladies of the Decree ordered to enter the palace to meet the queen according to the custom.

I have to get up before dawn, wait outside the palace gate in the cold winter, and then wait in the Jiaofang Palace. After the audience, the palace banquet was given, and the dishes in the palace banquet had been prepared a long time ago, and there was no heat at the time of the banquet, and there was no taste in the mouth. It was also inconvenient for everyone to eat and drink in the palace, and each of them had a few chopsticks.

After the palace banquet, the singers and dancers in the palace sang and danced. Only at this time can the ladies breathe a little sigh of relief and whisper a few laughs.

In the past few months, the Yong'an Hou Mansion has been constantly right and wrong. Mrs. Yong'anhou's words, deeds and actions have also become the focus of attention of Mrs. Yong'an.

Before entering the palace, Mrs. Yong'an Hou was warned by Yong'an Hou's "reminder". No matter how depressed you are, you have to pretend to be casual and squeeze out a smile.

With the intention of Mrs. Yong'an Hou, she couldn't wait to immediately find another good family for Pei Zhang, and fiercely hit back at the blind Yasukuni Mansion. It can also wash away the humiliation of Pei Zhang's resignation.

However, Yong'an Hou ignored Pei Zhang, and Pei Zhang was also cold and indifferent to family affairs. It's useless for her to be in a hurry, so she can only be patient, wait for the rumors to pass, and then find relatives for her son.

What is hateful and annoying is that it is almost impossible to find someone who is higher and better than Miss Ye San. If it can be compared with the Yasukuni Mansion, there are not a few in the entire capital.

The only concubine of the Pingguo Mansion married the eldest princess, and the Weiguo Mansion still has a lady of the right age, but she is a concubine. The Marquis of Jinning and the Marquis of Yong'an have always been mismatched, so there is no need to consider it. Zhu Qixuan of the Pingxi Hou Mansion married into the Zheng family. The concubine of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion is only ten years old......

Mrs. Yong'an Hou swept her eyes around, and the more she calculated, the more anxious she became.

There is no suitable one in the Xungui Marquis Mansion, otherwise, he would also follow the Ye family and marry Wenchen?

After the palace banquet was dispersed, all the ladies ordered to leave the palace one by one.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was left behind, waiting for Empress Pei to summon her alone. This scenery that others envied made Mrs. Yong'an Hou frightened.

I don't know when she was afraid to enter the palace, and she didn't dare to see Queen Pei alone.

After waiting for half an hour, the palace maid led her into the side hall.

As soon as Mrs. Yong'an Hou raised her eyes, she saw Princess Shouning beside Queen Pei, and the heart in her throat finally slowly fell back to its original position.

……

Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't want to see Empress Pei, and Empress Pei was even more disgusted with Mrs. Yong'anhou.

Today's summoning of Mrs. Yong'an Hou is for Princess Shouning.

After deciding on the family, Princess Shouning felt aggrieved. She couldn't bear to change Emperor Xuanhe's mind, so she cried in front of Empress Pei from time to time.

Queen Pei was overwhelmed, so she simply summoned Mrs. Yong'an Hou: "Shouning and Pei Jue set a family affair, and the emperor also ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious date for the wedding, which is on the tenth day of the fifth month." ”

"Shouning, if you have anything to ask, just ask your aunt directly."

Princess Shouning looked reluctant, and opened her mouth to ask, "Uncle, Pei Jue is two years younger than me. Xiaoliu said that Pei Jue has a modest temperament, yes or no? ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was in no mood to praise Pei Jue at all.

However, the family matter has been decided, and there is no possibility of change. She had to pinch her nose and say good things about Pei Jue: "Yes, Pei Jue is gentle and polite, filial and respectful to his parents, and very respectful to his brother. ”

Hey?

Why is it more pleasant to praise the more you say?

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was not in a good mood, and added: "Compared to Ah Zhang, it is not too bad." ”

Empress Pei glanced at Mrs. Yong'an Hou.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou's heart was cold, she cleared her throat, and quickly changed her words: "I was joking just now." In fact, Pei Jue is very outstanding and can be regarded as a concubine. Your Royal Highness the Princess, rest assured! ”

Princess Shouning heard this compliment, and her heart calmed down a little: "How does he look?" ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Yong'an Hou to open her mouth, Princess Shouning said again: "You don't have to compare with Cousin Pei Zhang, I just want to know, how does he compare with Zhu Qijue?" ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou: "......"

Affection: Princess Shouning is not angry with her own concubine, not as good as Princess Kangning's concubine.

Don't say anything else, just this one is enough to make Princess Shouning's heart unhappy.

Queen Pei said lightly: "You can tell the truth." ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou calmed down and said: "Zhu Juma was born with a handsome face, and he is still three points better than a woman. Pei Jue is handsome and handsome, and he is not the same type as Zhu Juma. However, it is not weaker than Zhu Juma. ”

Princess Shouning's mood was a little smoother, and she turned her head to look at Queen Pei: "Queen Mother, before the wedding, I want to see Pei Jue." ”

Empress Pei frowned slightly: "You are in the palace, how can you be so rash Meng Lang." ”

Zhu Qijue and Princess Kangning met before marriage because Zhu Qijue was on an errand in the palace, and they met "by chance". Pei Jue has no official or position, and he is a foreign man, how can he enter the palace without permission?

Princess Shouning still didn't give up: "He can't enter the palace, I can always leave the palace!" The Yong'an Hou Mansion is my uncle's house, not an outsider. I'll go to Yong'an Hou's Mansion for a trip! ”

Empress Pei's face was slightly gloomy: "Nonsense! You and Pei Jue were given marriage, and the wedding date was set. Now go to the future husband's house, what kind of system will it become! Never! ”

As soon as Empress Pei sank her face, Feng Wei was magnificent, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't dare to look up.

Princess Shouning didn't dare to say anything, but thought in her heart. The queen mother won't let me go to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, so I'll change the way.

……

There was a palace banquet in the palace every day, and Princess Shouning met Princess Kangning on the second day and pulled her to whisper.

Princess Corning was a little embarrassed and wanted to open her mouth to refuse.

"Don't you want to help me with this little favor?" Princess Shouning saw that Princess Kangning was delayed, and she was immediately annoyed, and immediately turned her face.

Princess Kangning has a supple temperament, and she has been used to being bullied by Princess Shouning since she was a child, so she nodded subconsciously: "Sister Huang, don't be angry, I'll help you." ”

Princess Shouning turned her anger into joy: "This is about the same." ”

Princess Corning smiled bitterly in her heart.

When she returned home in the evening, Princess Kangning had a bitter face.

Zhu Qijue was distressed when he saw this: "What's wrong?" Did Princess Shouning bully you again? ”

Princess Kangning sighed: "The imperial sister wants to see Pei's second son." The queen mother did not allow her to go to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, so she found me. Let me invite her to my princess's mansion in the name of a New Year's banquet. Then, you go privately and invite Pei Er Gongzi to be a guest. ”

If I didn't agree, she turned upset. I had no choice but to say yes. ”

Zhu Qijue: "......"

Princess Corning is good at everything, but her temperament is too soft and too easy to handle.

"If this matter is known by the father and queen mother, they will definitely blame you." Zhu Qijue frowned: "This is a thankless task. ”

Princess Kangning made a bitter face: "Then what should I do?" The royal sister stared at me, and I couldn't ignore it. ”

Zhu Qijue also sighed: "Forget it, I'll arrange it!" ”
