When Xie Mulin followed his mother Wen and eldest sister Xie Yinghui into the flower hall of Yanwang's Mansion, he met several official wives coming out of it.

Everyone obviously came to visit Princess Yan and inquire about the news of the arrival of the Queen Mother, but judging from the expressions on the faces of these official wives, they probably didn't get the answers they wanted to know, and they all looked depressed.

Wen greeted several official wives and greeted each other. Several official wives knew that she had a good relationship with Princess Yan, and that she was still a child and daughter family unknown to outsiders, since she came, it was very likely that she would find out useful news, so they all enthusiastically persuaded her, and when they knew the details, they would tell the big guys. After all, if the Queen Mother really came to Beiping City, the officials and relatives in the city would definitely go to see her, and they could prepare in advance, don't be rude in front of the nobles, and it is also the dignity of Beiping City.

Wen could only laugh dryly, prevaricating with words first, and did not give a definite promise. She is not stupid, if Princess Yan doesn't plan to talk to these officials and wives about the Queen Mother's northward trip, she naturally won't be able to talk much. Even if the two families are in-laws, the status of the Yan Wangfu is far above the Xie family, for no reason, what reason does she have to offend the serious in-law Princess Yan for the sake of a few official wives who have mediocre friendships?

The official wives didn't know if they were afraid of Wen's thoughts, so they first coaxed her with good words, and then turned around to coax Xie Mulin, the main master, and even Xie Yinghui praised a lot, as if they wanted to coax their mother and daughter with sweet words to make them dizzy. Fortunately, Aunt Wu Qiongye quickly walked out of the flower hall and put on a posture of being ordered to greet Wen's mother and daughter, and several official wives stopped, smiling and watching Wen and Xie Mulin sisters enter the door, and then turned around and walked out.

There was no one else in the flower hall anymore. Princess Yan sat alone on the right seat drinking tea, looking tired. When she saw the three Wen mother and daughter coming in, she hurriedly put down the teacup, a smile appeared on her face, and she stood up and said, "In-laws, please take a seat." You're here for the rumors, right? Since the second half of yesterday, I haven't had any guests here, and it's really noisy. It's a good thing you didn't join in with the others, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do. ”

Wen took his daughters to worship and saw Princess Yan before sitting down on a chair beside her. She asked cautiously, "How many people are coming?" If there is anything inconvenient, the princess will not tell us. Actually, our family didn't think there was anything. The family of the eldest princess of Yongning originally said that they would come to Beiping to visit relatives this year, even if the queen mother was added, it was just a matter of preparing with more care, and there was no need to panic. But others want to ask for more information, and I can't help them......"

In fact, it was Mrs. Wan who brought many neighbors' wives to encourage her. Because the harvest was not as expected in the rumors of the Zhou family, Mrs. Wan got angry and sulked at home and pretended to be sick for a few days, until Mrs. Xu was deflated, and she became active again. The arrival of the Queen Mother is a big event for Beiping City, and she also found a good opportunity for them to have three rooms in their families, so she nests in her in-laws Xie all day long, and persuades the Wen family to come out. Wen couldn't help her, and he was a little curious in his heart, so he asked his husband Xie Pu, knowing that this matter was not taboo, so he had the courage to bring his two daughters to Yanwang's mansion.

Princess Yan didn't know if she had heard the wind beforehand, so she smiled knowingly: "I know, it's Mrs. Wansan, right?" She's always been a good guy. It's a rare thing that she doesn't get involved in such a big event. It's just that your temper is too good, why were you persuaded by her in a few words? She wants to inquire, let her just come by herself, and encourage you to come out like this, what's the matter? ”

Wen smiled embarrassedly: "I'm also a little curious." If the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess go north together, this is a matter of mutual consideration...... I don't know what kind of charter it will be? If our children are careless for a while and make the Queen Mother unhappy, wouldn't it be a missed fate? "Moxue Literature Network

Princess Yan suddenly smiled and said, "You guys are too careful." The Queen Mother has always been kind, since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Ma Juma can take a fancy to your family's Xianzhi, how can the Queen Mother pick his thorn if she has nothing to do? Besides, it is obvious that he is also a child who is familiar with etiquette and is accustomed to seeing nobles, even if he wants to be called to see him, he is also familiar with the way, where will he easily annoy the Queen Mother? Let him feel at ease and just do what he normally would. Don't pretend to do something that goes against your nature, that's the most taboo! ”

Wen hurriedly responded. Xie Yinghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief beside her.

Princess Yan chatted with Wen for a few more words, and soon found out from Wen's narrative that Xie Mulin, as his fiancée, did not reveal a word to his family about Xiao Rui's entry into Beijing. This must have been told by Xiao Rui in advance, but Xie Mulin was able to follow it, and his tone was so rigorous, which was also very impressive. Princess Yan looked at Xie Mulin several times, and her eyes showed satisfaction.

Since she was satisfied with this future daughter-in-law, Princess Yan looked at Wen's mother a little differently. After chatting about family life, she simply revealed Xiao Rui's trip to the capital to Wen's family. Which day I set off, I walked on the road for a few days, which day I arrived in the capital, I saw someone again, I discussed something with the eldest princess of Yongning, and I got the news from the queen mother that her old man really planned to go north...... And so on, but anything that does not involve confidentiality, Princess Yan readily told the three of Wen's mother and daughter.

She also looked at Xie Mulin with a smile and said: "Three days ago, the prince and I received an urgent letter from Chonglin from the capital, and we can officially start sorting out the palace for the arrival of the Queen Mother, and by the way, I also know some of the latest news from the capital." These things were not originally secrets, but the emperor did not issue an edict for a day, so we should not be too public......"

hinted that she didn't deliberately want to hide something from outsiders, and then continued: "The Queen Mother plans to stay in the Cining Palace in the Forbidden City, where only the people who sweep the palace are there, and we have to send more people to repair, tidy up, and plant more fresh flowers and trees." Although the Empress Dowager will definitely take the palace people to travel, there can't be no one waiting in Cining Palace. In addition to the deployment from the palace, the prince and I also plan to hire some people in the city. If these people are not reliable, they can cause trouble at any time. Therefore, the prince has discussed with me, and for the time being, he will not disclose relevant news to outsiders, and he will save people from specially inserting eyes and ears in the Forbidden City......"

Xie Mulin suddenly understood, and looked at Wen. Wen also showed a knowing expression: "If there is anything that needs to be helped, the princess just speaks." Our whole family is always at your disposal! "When necessary, it is not impossible for the Xie family to lend a group of male and female servants. The servants of the official eunuchs, who do some rough work in the Forbidden City, are so good at etiquette and clear rules, and their origins are more innocent than those who are currently employed, and it is easier to trace their whereabouts if something happens.

Princess Yan smiled and nodded, and did not immediately make a request. Yan Wangfu's family has a big business, and when she is sure that there is a shortage of manpower, it is not too late to borrow someone from her in-laws.

She just pointed to Wu Qiongye beside her: "I'll ask Qiongye to go to your house and see the people first." If there's anything you'd like to inquire about, just ask her. ”
