Ruan Jingjia was born to the side concubine of the King of Fenyang, ranked second, and was the eldest of all the daughters of the King of Fenyang, so she has always regarded herself as the eldest daughter, and regarded Ruan Tingge as a thorn in the flesh, and was very jealous of her.

Hearing Ruan Jingjia's words, Ruan Tingge turned his head and glanced at Ruan Jingjia deeply, seeing that the smile on the corner of Ruan Jingjia's mouth was a little unmaintainable.

If she had heard Ruan Jingjia's words before, she would have disdained to argue with her at all, and would even treat it as if she hadn't heard it.

Because Ruan Tingge in her previous life was proud of her noble birth, unlike her father's other daughters, her mother's concubine was born in a century-old family of a great country, with a prominent family background, and she married her father as a concubine for thousands of miles, and she, as the only concubine of her father, was not even ranked with his daughter, but was in the same order as his son, ranking seventh. So whenever these concubines, or the official ladies outside whose family background is not as good as her, provokes trouble, she also ignores them, feeling that arguing with these people is a loss of identity.

is so arrogant that people can't help but blush and hate her even more.

But Ruan Tingge is different at this moment, after a lifetime, she has long since lost those naïve and shallow ideas.

She looked at Ruan Jingjia, who had jealousy and hatred in her eyes and a hint of fear, her heart moved, and she suddenly smiled and said, "What the second sister said is reasonable, it is indeed Ge'er's." ”

With that, she got up from her seat and blessed Mrs. Yide and Ruan and Ling on her lower left, "Ge'er is late today, and I apologize to my grandmother and aunt." ”

Her abnormal behavior stunned everyone, and Ruan Heling on the side hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Mrs. Yide's brow was furrowed.

She nodded at this time, "Ge'er is a lot more sensible. After saying a word to Ruan Tingge and her face, she suddenly sank her face, turned her head to Ruan Jingjia on the side and said, "The young and the old are orderly, but the concubine is also different, as a concubine, how can there be a reason to teach the younger sister." ”

Mrs. Yide's expression was extremely displeased, and her eyes still flashed with anger, and she said coldly to Ruan Jingjia, who was stunned, "Go back and copy the female commandment ten times, and you can go out only after copying it." ”

After saying these words, Ruan Jingjia, who spoke directly, was flushed, and tears were rolling in her eyes. She whispered yes, stood up, saluted indiscriminately, and took the maid to leave.

Ruan Jingjia's biological mother, Concubine Lin, also panicked on her face, and hurriedly got up to accuse, "Jia'er is ignorant, she made her mother angry, and the concubine is here to make amends to her mother and the county lord." ”

Mrs. Yide pursed her lips, and said in a deep voice, "Jia'er is not young, she should learn the rules hard, the daughter of our Ruan family in Chen Liu County can't be like ordinary people who don't know etiquette, don't end up losing the face of our Ruan family." ”

Mrs. Yide's words were even more serious, or in front of everyone, Concubine Lin's face was red and her lips trembled, and she didn't know how to answer.

Ruan Qingge was also extremely surprised in her heart, she knew that her grandmother loved her very much, but she would not be like this for herself on weekdays. Especially this Concubine Lin, who has been with her father for a long time, is usually very decent in front of everyone.

Ruan Jingjia's painless words just now somehow made her grandmother extremely unhappy.

Concubine Lin bit her lip, and whispered after a while, "Mother, the concubine has also retired first." ”

Mrs. Yide didn't pay much attention to her, and casually replied, "Go ahead." ”

Concubine Lin's well-maintained face twitched slightly, and she secretly glanced at Ruan Tingge, and then bowed and retired.

Watching Concubine Lin leave in a hurry with the maid, Mrs. Yide's face was slightly relaxed. She shook her head and said to Ruan Heling, "Jia'er, this girl, is spoiled by the Lin family. She turned her head and instructed her maidservant, "Xia He, supervise the side of Xihe Courtyard well, and let the second lady send it over after copying it." ”

Xia He whispered.

Ruan Heling echoed Mrs. Yide's words, but her face was actually a little unbearable, because she was also a concubine, but her mother died early, so she was raised by Mrs. Yide before she was ten years old. Mrs. Yide has a biological daughter, so she is lukewarm to her, but she does her duty as a mother-in-law. If Ruan Hefu hadn't died of illness a few years ago, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to continue to come over and get close to Mrs. Yide.

Also eating together in the dining room were the third young lady Ruan Jingyi, the fourth young lady Ruan Jingxian, and the fifth young lady Ruan Jingjiao, as well as several other side concubines and wives of the king of Fenyang. Since Concubine Lin left just now, these people have eaten quietly with low eyebrows, and they don't dare to come out.

Ruan Heling secretly glanced at Ruan Tingge, and found that she was eating breakfast leisurely and calmly with no one else, and when Concubine Lin left, she didn't even look at it, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of Ruan Tingge's status in the palace.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the dining room was very condensed, Ruan Tingge opened his mouth to break the silence, "Grandmother, I heard that the eldest brother will return to Jinling tomorrow, right?" ”

Speaking of the prince of Fenyang, Mrs. Yide's expression softened, "A few days ago, the news of the victory in the south came, and the Fenyang army defeated the Nanning army in early November. Now that Nanning has been defeated, an envoy has been sent to Jinling to cut the land and sue for peace, and your eldest brother does not need to stay in the army for a long time, so he will simply return to Jinling as soon as possible to be sealed. ”

Listening to the events that were exactly the same as his memory, the corners of Ruan Tingge's mouth twitched slightly, but there was still a smile on his face, "Great, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time, and I miss him very much." ”

The ancestors and grandsons chatted a few words of gossip about the prince of Fenyang, and the atmosphere eased.

The fourth lady Ruan Jingxian on the side has just turned eight years old, and she is usually very favored, and her personality is a little coquettish and bold.

Her big eyes turned around, looking at Mrs. Yide's face with a smile, her mood seemed to have improved, and she dared to coquettish Mrs. Yide, "Grandmother, such a happy thing, shouldn't there be a banquet in the house for a few days, Xian'er is hungry." ”

Mrs. Yide couldn't help laughing, "You little glutton, don't you usually have enough food and clothing in the house?" I still think about eating feasts every day. ”

Ruan Jingxian pouted slightly, "On weekdays, my aunt always doesn't let me eat this and that, saying that I want to pay attention to my diet and not become too fat." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Yide looked at her round face and slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help laughing, "Xian'er, you just listen to your aunt." Look at your little belly, it's not okay for a girl who is almost eight years old to be so round. ”

Chen, who was sitting next to Ruan Jingxian, finally interjected, her appearance was gorgeous, and her voice was soft and charming, "What Mother said is that the concubine is staring at Xian'er every day, and she is not allowed to eat snacks indiscriminately, otherwise she will become a small ball of meat if she continues like this." ”

Ruan Jingxian couldn't help but sigh in frustration when she heard it, "I originally wanted my grandmother to help me support me, but my grandmother also stood on my aunt's side." ”

She looked at Mrs. Yide pitifully, "Grandmother, have you forgotten that she said to Xian'er before that she loves Xian'er's flesh the most, and it looks very pleasing?" ”

Mrs. Yide laughed a few times and then held back, and said with a serious expression, "Now that you are old, you can't still be meaty, you must lose weight." ”

Ruan Jingxian silently lowered her head, picked up the chopsticks and was silent.

Seeing her disappointed little appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Ruan Tingge looked at Ruan Jingxian's round little face and lively and cute expression, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

Only then did she begin to notice her group of sisters, looking at the faces that were slightly similar to hers, her eyes were slightly dazed.

In her previous life, she only regarded her father and eldest brother as relatives, and gave very little attention to these cousins, and now even their faces are a little blurred.

Her father and grandmother protected her so well that she had little contact with these concubines, or her siblings, and knew little about them.

Now seeing Ruan Jingxian's cute appearance, she also has a trace of love for her sister in her heart.
