When I came back from Wang's mansion, it was already unitary time, and the sky was getting dark.

Wang Jingshu was a little tired when she returned to the imperial city, but she still urgently sent some new gadgets that the two brothers had picked up to Ninghui Hall for the Queen Mother to enjoy.

As soon as he arrived at the Ninghui Palace, there was a palace maid leading Wang Jingshu to the west side hall. For all reasons, Wang Jingshu has never been treated coldly in Ninghui Palace, this time is no exception, as soon as you enter the west side hall, there will be palace maids to present the best dragon well before the rain.

"Princess Niangniang, please rest for a while in the side hall, and the maid will go back to the Queen Mother."

Wang Jingshu treats everyone politely, and naturally there is nothing wrong with it, "Okay." ”

Immediately, the palace maids retired, leaving her alone in the west side hall, and the absence of palace maids seemed to be cold, but it also represented the queen mother's peace of mind about her, and she didn't need to be monitored by the eyes of the palace maids. She has to admit this love.

And at this moment, the Empress Dowager Cheng was talking to the Empress Jiang in the East Side Palace.

The Queen Mother said as if nothing was going on while eating honeydew melons, "The mourning family heard that the fourth child has asked the emperor for instructions many times, and the girl from the Chen family ...... Be a side concubine. ”

One sentence of the fourth child shows that the queen mother's heart is completely biased towards King Ning, and I hope her choice and side are not wrong.

The queen was happy, and still responded respectfully, "Yes," she didn't dare to hide anything, she already knew about it, not to mention that the queen mother didn't care about the affairs of the palace, but her heart was like a mirror. And she hesitated about this, "Pei'er has asked for advice many times, but the saint still hasn't answered. I'm also hesitating about this, "I just had a Zhaoxun and asked for multiple side concubines, she was afraid that the princess would be unhappy, "There are too many women, and there are many rights and wrongs." ”

The Queen Mother had a plan in her heart, "Although the fourth daughter-in-law is a good one, you should also see that the fourth daughter doesn't like her." Since the princess position has called us desirable, let him be the candidate for the side concubine seat. ”

"What's more, where the emperor and the East Palace are there, if we always let women into the fourth house, it will be inappropriate." When it comes to the East Palace, the Queen Mother is on fire in her heart, the prince openly rejects the woman she rewarded and rejects her kindness, Zhu Yuan is really as annoying as his mother.

After thinking about it, he explained two more sentences, "You also let the fourth child be more restrained, and be careful when he speaks and acts under the nose of his father." He wants the so-called Taoguang to raise obscurity, but it is not nonsense. Especially to Wang Fu and to the princess, it is the right thing to respect. ”

"Back then, the emperor and the former empress respected each other like guests, so the emperor still hoped that the princes and concubines would respect each other as harmoniously. It's like how big it is for King Nakang to return to Beijing without authorization, as soon as he mentions the princess and heirs, the emperor let it go lightly, which shows that respecting his wife and giving birth to heirs is extremely important. You have to be good and urge them. ”

These words are not unreasonable, and the queen is full of promises. After all, the matter of listening to the harmony of the queen mother was gloomy, and then listened to another sentence, "Don't take a position on the matter of the side concubine, let the emperor judge it himself." ”

Every sentence has spoken to the queen's heart, in the end, the queen mother is thoughtful and transparent. Gradually, she looked at the Queen Mother, "Yes." ”

When the two wanted to talk about something, there was a palace maid outside the palace to announce that Princess Ning was waiting for the summons in the side hall.

said Cao Cao Cao arrived, it can be seen that you can't talk about people behind your back. The queen responded, "I know." Turning to look at the Queen Mother, with a flattering face, "It was Erchen who asked her to go to the folk to buy some new things for you to enjoy." ”

The Queen Mother not only didn't appreciate it, but also got angry, threw the tea cup in her hand straight to the queen, and shattered it in a moment, "Confused!" "How did she support such a stupid queen. Ambitious but mindless?

"Everyone in the palace is rumoring: The prince did not accept the girl rewarded by the mourning family, which caused the mourning family to be very angry, but at present, no one dares to say anything to persuade anything, because no one dares to offend the East Palace, nor does he dare to offend the mourning family, so they simply pretend to be deaf and dumb. But you asked her to go to the folk to buy new things for the mourning family to enjoy, doesn't this make the prince hate King Ning? ”

"Stupid woman!"

It's a good intention, but it's a wrong thing. The queen was very stunned in her heart, how could she think of these things at that time, she only felt that pleasing the queen mother was the most important, and suddenly forgot the way of balance. What's more, how can you think about everything to the end, people will make mistakes. Maybe the Queen Mother was too careful?

The queen lowered her head and was still scolded by the queen mother, but the queen mother was angry and soon fine. All in all, she just wants to make the queen understand that it is not wrong to please her.

Soon, the palace maid who delivered the message went to the west side hall to say, "The queen mother is resting, please go back to the princess." ”

Wang Jingshu agreed, and there was no doubt that it would go back. How would she have thought that the Queen Mother deliberately refused to meet the princess in order to avoid suspicion.

And this matter is indeed not as simple as the queen thinks.

Princess Ning went out of the imperial city on the front foot to buy new things, and there was an extra fold on the imperial case of the Lizheng Palace on the back foot, which was put together with all the twists and turns that happened in Ning Wangyuan, piled up into a mountain.

Only King Ning is now married to the prince, so it is natural that there are more secret investigations on his recitals.

Although the emperor may not see all of them, he will know what happened to which courtyard and which person occasionally flipped.

Originally, it was not a big deal for the princess to go out of the imperial city to buy new things, but she went to Ninghui Hall immediately after returning to the palace, which attracted the attention of Emperor Zhu Yuanming. I don't know what the Queen Mother means by not seeing the princess? Ning Huidian has always been as strict as an iron bucket, his secret whistle has only been able to do things on the periphery for so long, and he doesn't know what kind of pickled thing he is doing as an emperor.

"It seems that the fourth daughter-in-law is very empty, and the housekeeping rights that are easy to get are not good, but she still has the heart to please the queen mother."

The eunuch standing on the side did not dare to say a word, only lowered his head, so he lowered his presence.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanming took the other folds in the pile, read it, and reviewed two words: Approved.

And over there, Wang Jingshu went back to Ning Wangyuan, changed her clothes in the inner room, and dyed Liu was looking forward to folk gadgets when she was young, Wang Jingshu told her to choose first, and then asked her to distribute them. At this moment, Dyed Smoke hurriedly entered the inner room, and whispered softly, "Princess, the prince came back early, locked himself in the main courtyard, and just now Zhao Xun went inside to persuade and drive her out." Didn't you go back to Wang's Mansion with the prince, but what happened? ”

It must be for Miss Chen! Mama Huifen was indignant in her heart, but the master didn't say anything, but she began to pour bitter water outward, "Didn't you meet a Chen Mansion on the street and something happened." I don't know what kind of fox charm in Chen's mansion hooked the heart of the prince and followed. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent for an instant, and the atmosphere was like an ice cellar frozen, and no one dared to come out of the atmosphere.

Wang Jingshu bit her red lip, and the sorrow in her heart deepened, but she reminded, "Don't mention this matter in the future." Don't ruin the reputation of the Chen Girl. ”

Mama Huifen sighed silently, holding a plate of crystal cakes, the crystal cake food is crystal clear as its name suggests, and it looks good in the petal color plate, and it is lightly placed on the pear blossom wood coffee table next to the couch, "The master is tired for a day, use some food." ”

This crystal cake is a delicacy of the Imperial Gift. It was still hot when it was delivered, but unfortunately Wang Jingshu was not there and could not enjoy it in time. Now that Wang Jingshu is back, this pastry has cooled, but it is also a gift from the emperor no matter what. She didn't want to enjoy it, and ordered, "Send this to the main courtyard for the prince to enjoy, although it is cold, but the royal food can be given, he will not refuse." The prince was still depressed in his heart, and with the matter of Fang Cai, how could she be in any mood.

"Yes." Mama Huifen didn't want to listen to it to the end, so she put the pastries into the food box and sent them to the main courtyard in person.

And the smoke on the side was in shock, and Mama Fang's words made her a little stunned. The fox in Mama's mouth...... Is it the girl in Chen's house? Could it be that she inquired with Dyeryanagi...... The girl Chen that even the palace maid knows? Because of Miss Chen, the prince didn't go to Wang's Mansion again? She remembered that the master had asked that girl Chen that day...... I want to comfort but I don't know where to start, "Master......"

"There are still a lot of independent residences in King Ning's Courtyard, you Ming'er will order someone to clean them up," It's time to sweep up the dust and wait for Miss Chen. To the extent that the prince likes it, it is more than enough to be a side concubine. Maybe he would like to give her princess position to that Chen Eryan. Before the smoke could answer, she spoke again, "Groom me, I'm going to the main courtyard." ”

But it was forgiven, "No, no." Now he will not want to see her, but he will go for fear of another dispute.

Saying that, Wang Jingshu looked at the account book, this family is not so easy to manage. Fortunately, everything is clearly recorded in the ledger, and there is no mistake, she looks fast, and the housekeeper learns faster.

The late autumn was depressed, the harem was peaceful, and the emperor officially issued an order to marry the five princes and the six princes.

——Zhu Tan, the fifth prince of Xu, married Du Shi, the daughter of Du Pao, the prince of the Taifu Temple, as a concubine, and was the concubine of the five princes.

——Zhu Run, the sixth prince of Xu, married Yao, the daughter of Yao Zhong, the imperial historian, as a concubine, and was the concubine of the sixth prince.

The two princes were assigned to marry at the same time, but the princesses' family backgrounds were different, and the two princes were not crowned princes. provoked a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace.

Concubine Rong in Lihua Hall was a little dissatisfied when she heard the holy decree. For a long time, the prince got married and started a business, and the will of the king and the marriage were all made at the same time, and the previous princes were like this, why, this time there was only a marriage and no king? The marriage of a bald prince is not as decent as the marriage of a prince.

The holy decree was transmitted into the East Palace, and the crown princess Ji was playing leaf play with others, and it seemed that it was not about her own high attitude, so she was happy to say: "It's okay now, there are happy events in the palace one after another, but some of them are lively." ”

Accompanying the laughter was the second-grade lady Cui, "Exactly." But no matter how lively it is, he is just a bald prince, and he has no title or title, and it can't be lively. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crown princess laughed loudly, "Oops, it's mush!" ”

"There is a happy event in the palace, and my sister-in-law has a few handfuls of paste, which is really refreshing for happy events." Princess Defu is a pun. Two days ago, Princess Kang slipped and the child in her belly was not saved, and Princess Ning had no movement, and Princess Yi was far away in Raozhou, so the pressure on the crown princess to give birth to a child was less, and now the prince is married and not crowned king, and the pressure on the prince is also less. Naturally, everything goes well in the East Palace.

The crown princess only giggled, and the sound of playing leaves couldn't hide her good mood.

The leaf play played two more rounds.

I don't know when, chatting and chatting, it turned to Princess Ning. The eldest princess said to the effect, "It's been a few months since Princess Ning married into the palace, and she hasn't moved?" I've never been in the palace much, but I've seen her a few times, and she's comfortable. Is it the favor of the king? Outside the imperial city, I also heard that King Ning liked a girl from the Chen Mansion. ”

"Maybe it's another one that won't give birth." The second rank of the lady still laughed unconsciously, "A woman who can't give birth, the queen treats her as a treasure, and it is not Baba'er's plea to ask the saint to marry, but as a result, it is not that she can't have children." ”

It's another ...... that won't give birth A sentence touched the sensitive nerve of the crown princess. It seems that they are all laughing at her, saying that she will not give birth. What if she is the future queen? What if she is so noble? If a woman can't give birth, she is a dwarf and an inferior person.

Why did Princess Kang dare to laugh at her? Isn't it because she has both children and daughters? Isn't it because she gave birth to the only royal grandson born by the concubine? They were talking about the Wang family behind their backs, but the Wang family had only been married into the palace for a few months. But she has been married to the palace for a few years and has not come out, will they also talk about her behind her back and laugh at her?

Seeing that the crown princess stopped playing cards, the other three also stopped.

Over the years, the crown princess has been driven crazy by childbirth, and she can't restrain herself at the moment, so she immediately lost her temper, vented her resentment and hatred thoroughly, and dropped the leaf play, "Get out-"
