At this moment, everyone's attention at the tea party is not on the tea and snacks. After listening to Princess Yan's words, everyone knew that it was impossible to get more news from her for the time being, so they couldn't hold back and wanted to communicate with each other privately. Mrs. Xie has always been a kind person, so she must not be too stingy, right?

Princess Yan also seemed to understand everyone's thoughts very well, and did not detain everyone to the banquet anymore, but ordered people to serve fresh plum blossom-themed snacks and add plum tea, so that the guests could just enjoy themselves, and if they wanted to enjoy the plum blossoms, they would just walk around the garden. Today, the back garden of the palace has been cleared, there are no idle people, and the guests can fall in love with wherever they want. If there is an inconvenient place to entertain guests, there will be maids to discourage them.

Then Princess Yan invited Mrs. Xie Wen and the two Miss Xie to go to the warm house to enjoy the flowers with her. The mother and daughter of the Xie family got up and followed very cooperatively, leaving Aunt Wu Qiongye to continue to greet the guests.

Mrs. Wan secretly choked herself, and watched Wen leave with her two daughters with Princess Yan, thinking about whether she wanted to use an excuse to visit the garden, and secretly followed with her two daughters to see what Princess Yan and Princess Wen said. As soon as Princess Yan left, the governor's wife quickly took over the responsibility of presiding over the tea party, replacing Princess Yan, cooperating with Wu Qiongye, and appeasing all the officials and relatives present. She called a group of officials and wives to her, repeated Princess Yan's explanation, and told them not to leak the news of the tea party casually after returning home, even if they wanted to tell their families, at most mention it to their husbands, and others should not say more, so as not to leak the news.

If the capital is blamed at that time, King Yan and his wife are both nobles of the clan, at most they will be reprimanded twice, and these officials who are ordered by the imperial court will never have good fruits to eat if they openly disobey the holy decree!

All the wives were secretly vigilant, and even Mrs. Wan, who originally had the intention of writing a letter to her home in Beijing, was stunned, thinking that it was safer for her to ask her husband before writing a letter. Of course, everyone knows that the only secret to be kept is the identity of Xiao Rui, the only son of King Yan, and as for how Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Tuesday, and Miss Thursday were embarrassed during the banquet, there was nothing to hide. Everyone only needs to vaguely bring about the relationship between the marriage partner that Mrs. Xu wants to make the Thursday girl compete for and Yanwangfu, and the rest can be played to your heart's content!

Everyone is not unaffected by Mrs. Xu's anger, several ladies have been robbed of the limelight by the Thursday girl, and they have openly stepped on their faces, and they have long wanted to vent their anger. It's rare to have such an opportunity, how could they miss it?!

Miss Wan said a lot of words in her mother's ear, and she lied to her sister Miss Wan Si again, and Mrs. Wan's attention immediately turned away from the Xie family's mother and daughter. She gathered with the group of noble ladies who gathered to whisper, and participated in a discussion about how to promote the embarrassed image of Mrs. Xu and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family in the outside world.

Xie Mulin, together with his mother and eldest sister, walked slowly in the back garden of the palace with Princess Yan, and after walking less than a cup of tea, they came to a bamboo forest house. Although the bamboo here is not very verdant, the layout and scenery are very good. There was a pleasant smell in the air, and in Xie Mulin's impression, this fragrance seemed to be common in the famous temple, so he guessed that this was about a Buddhist hall.

Needless to say, this must be the temporary residence of Xiao Rui's biological mother, Aunt Li, in the Yanwang Mansion.

While leading the way in front, Princess Yan said to the Wen family kindly: "Aunt Li, who raised Rui Ge'er, became a monk within two days after arriving in Beiping City. This was originally the emperor's intention, and Sister Li did not intend to disobey it. In fact, since the death of her old master, Sister Xiao, she has developed the habit of worshipping Buddha all year round, and although she is not a monk, she is also a layman at home. Now that she can finally give up the red dust, the green lantern ancient Buddha, and live a pure life, it can be regarded as fulfilling her long-standing wish. ”

Hearing this, Wen Shi had a stomach of questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he hesitated and felt that now seemed to be the time to ask, so he hesitated to respond, and his face couldn't help but show a little strange color.

Princess Yan saw it clearly, smiled and shook her hand: "Don't worry, Sister Li is in the fine house, I will take you to meet her first, and then tell you in detail." In fact...... It's not that the prince and I deliberately conceal the truth and deceive our in-laws, but ...... This is really what the emperor meant! The emperor seems to be planning to conceal the news of the successors of the Yan Palace, to appease the hearts of the princes in the palace, and make them think that they still have a way back and will not do anything drastic...... The prince and I have lived in Beiping for a long time, far away from the capital, and I really don't know much about the things in the palace, and I don't know what the emperor thinks. The emperor has an order, and we will do it. Now that Mrs. Xu has revealed this secret, others are gone, but here in our in-laws, we should no longer hide it. ”

Wen Shi made up his mind in his heart, glanced back at his daughter Xie Mulin, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Chonglin is also a child that our master is optimistic about, and I know that he is a reliable son-in-law, otherwise the master would not have agreed to this marriage." Although Chonglin's identity has changed now, since the prince and princess have no intention of withdrawing from the marriage, the lord and I will naturally keep our promises. Since the two families are still in-laws, we will not force our in-laws to tell the secrets that are not easy to say. Everything naturally depends on the emperor's will. ”

Princess Yan laughed when she heard this, patted the back of Wen's hand and said, "Don't worry, if the emperor knows what happened, he will never be surprised by this." ”

While speaking, the group had already entered the main hall of the house. Sure enough, there is a statue of Guanyin here, like the Buddha in front of the incense. Aunt Li, who Xie Mulin was familiar with, was wearing a paddy field robe, sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the Buddha, slowly stood up when she heard the sound, turned to face the visitors, smiled slightly, and gave a monk's etiquette: "Amitabha." Jingming has met several donors. ”

Xie Mulin was stunned, knowing that the word "Jingming" was Aunt Li's legal name after she became a monk, but somehow, her mood was a little gloomy.

However, Master Jing looked very calm, smiled and invited Princess Yan and the mother and daughter of the Xie family to come to the quiet room in the second room to have tea. When everyone had seen the salute and sat down, she nodded to Princess Yan and began her story with a flat smile.
