This generation of Cheng Engong is the younger brother of Empress Xiaozhang.

Empress Xiaozhang is the daughter of the Bai family, and her mother gave birth to this younger brother Bai Wufang five years after she was born. It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, although Queen Xiaozhang did not really be a mother-like upbringing before entering the palace, but he also had to take care of the eldest sister for several years, and the two depended on each other until Queen Xiaozhang and Empress Lu were selected to enter the palace.

Empress Xiaozhang was not born in a high family, their father was the master of Cangzhou, Empress Xiaozhang entered the palace as a maid in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xiansheng, and then met with the first emperor who was only a prince at that time.

Because of the affection between Empress Xiaozhang and the first emperor, the first emperor treated his relatives very well, in addition to sealing the father of the Bai family as the queen of Cheng'en, he often overstepped the system to the Bai family, and then wanted to give his brother-in-law Bai Wufeng the title of the loose official of the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, as well as the title of the Duke of the Plains of Zhengerpin.

After Empress Xiaozhang knew, she tried her best to dissuade her, the first emperor did not allow it, she recruited her mother Duchess Chengen into the palace, and finally persuaded her family to donate all the grace given by the first emperor, and let the younger brother take the initiative to resign and add officials to the knighthood, away from the court, until Empress Xiaozhang died of illness, and left her last words before her death, "The concubine's ancestry, be careful not to deal with the power, but the relatives are invited by the court, it is fortunate."

After that, the first emperor was even more grief-stricken, did not establish a successor, did not accept concubines, and personally raised a pair of children left by Empress Xiaozhang.

It is precisely because of Empress Xiaozhang's words and deeds that she is famous, and even the first emperor favored her alone in the harem, and the outside world never dared to accuse her for reasons such as flattering the lord.

And after the death of Empress Xiaozhang, the Chengen Mansion did not fall out of favor, but went further. Whenever the first emperor missed Empress Xiaozhang, he would be gracious to the Cheng'en Mansion, and after the queen died, no one stopped her, so she was prominent in the court for a while, and taught many humerus ministers to dare to be angry and dare not speak.

When the first emperor died, the crown prince ascended the throne, and the people who had a close relationship with the palace in the previous generation of Chengen Gong gradually passed away, although Cheng Engong, who inherited the title in this generation, was also a relative of the emperor and the uncle of the young emperor, but compared with the previous generation of Chengen Duchess who personally raised the young emperor and the eldest princess, it was much worse in terms of affection.

As a man, Bai Wufang naturally can't go in and out of the palace as often as the previous generation of Duchess Chengen. The eldest princess had only heard of such an uncle in the deep palace, and she had never met her; As for the young emperor, who is not in power now, he can't talk about any feelings for his uncle, who has only met once or twice a year.

Bai Wufang's wife, the Duchess of Chengen of this generation is the daughter of the former minister's Shangshu. When the two got married, the Cheng'en Mansion was full of fire, flowers, and holy grace; The former official Shangshu was a new official when he took office, and his foundation was unstable, and it was by virtue of this layer of in-laws that he sat firmly in this position, but now his noble father-in-law has already returned to his hometown, and he was complacent in taking a famous and noble girl in the past, but now his shortcomings are also revealed.

After all, his wife has no connection with the palace, and she is arrogant, and she can't do clever words and deeds, and when she enters the palace, she just says hello to the eldest princess dryly, and sometimes she can't see some outrageous behaviors of the eldest princess and will bluntly persuade her.

The eldest princess of Changle was raised by the first emperor since she was a child, as the only little princess in the palace, the first emperor and the Duchess of Chengen took pity on her young and lost, so they sent the stars and moon off to her, and they were afraid that the stars would pierce her hands, and the moon was too cold, which hurt the little princess; Before the death of the first emperor, the saint was only obedient to the princess, not to mention that the prince, who was still a little milk baby, was also dependent on the eldest sister in every way, and almost could be called obedient.

Compared with the daughter of the official who was taught by the rules since she was a child, the eldest princess of Changle can also be said to be an outlier among the noble daughters of Daye, after all, the princesses who were raised by the emperor himself since she was a child are only a handful of all dynasties, so it is not surprising that the eldest princess of Changle and this aunt who pays attention to rules and manners everywhere do not like each other.

When the first Chengen Duchess was still there, the relationship between the young emperor and the eldest princess of Changle and the Cheng'en Mansion was still good, and it was not weakened because of the death of Empress Xiaozhang, and when the two elders of the first Cheng'en and his wife died, Bai Wufeng became the new Cheng'en Prince, and the relationship between the Cheng'en Mansion and the palace was not as good as before.

Therefore, when Bai Wufang received a handwritten letter from Pei Ruchu, stating that the eldest princess of Changle wanted to send someone to visit, Bai Wufang didn't dare to take Qiao, but was honestly afraid, swept the streets early in the morning, and led the whole family to look forward to it.

Now that the court of Ye is worried about internal and external troubles, the life of the Chengen Mansion is not as good as before, and if you want to regain the glory of the past, it is very important to reconnect with the palace, so Bai Wufang can't care about his wife's complaints, and is still waiting in the main hall with trepidation.

Qin Songen sat in the carriage and staggered out of the Hening Gate.

She originally thought that when she entered the palace and then left the palace, she would go to the north, and who knew that she would have the opportunity to enter the market again. This time, she came out with Song Abbot, and she was also dressed as an inner servant Huangmen, but fortunately, she was tall, handsome, and did not bind her feet, and she was a clear young eunuch when she dressed up a little.

It is said that eunuchs who are purified before they are developed will not grow Adam's apple, and Qin Songen was born young, so he can be round. However, Qin Songen himself said that according to the eyes of this world, she was already bold enough, but she didn't expect Song Zhiban to be even more deviant than her, and she actually wanted to play one play at a time, and let her pretend to be his inner servant and go out of the palace with him.

Qin Songen was already suspicious of Song Charge's identity, but when Song Chargeshift asked her to pretend to be a chamberlain to leave the palace, Qin Songen agreed after a little thought, Qin Songen noticed that Song Charge's class actually showed a look of satisfaction with him, and couldn't help but be a little more suspicious of the identity of this Song Takeban.

However, now is not the time to entangle the identity of Song Yaoban, Qin Songen just pressed the question in his heart and still treated Song Yaoban as usual. At this time, she and Song Abban faced each other in the carriage and listened to Song Abbot introduce the situation of the Chengen Mansion.

After he finished speaking, he said to Qin Songen: "After entering the Chengen Mansion in a while, you can ask any questions." ”

"Me?" Qin Songen was taken aback, he didn't know much about the old things in the palace, but he barely understood it by relying on Song Zhuban and Yu'e to make up for it in the past few days. Along the way, she was ignorant, saying that she was chasing the murderer, but in fact, she was almost coerced forward by the world, and she found out wherever she stepped on the clues of watermelon peels, almost without order.

Now that she was asked to go to Uncle Guo to inquire about the news quietly, Qin Songen had to hesitate a little, telling her to do it directly, just do it, and she had to fight with others..... Qin Songen was afraid that he would be careless, and it would be bad to startle the snake and alarm the people behind the scenes.
