Shen Mingzhen was brought to the county lord.

The county lord was wearing a red begonia embroidered skirt with an agate pearl gold collar around her neck, looking at her with a smile and a gentle face: "How old is the eldest prince, and I have been studying with the prince beside the queen since I was a child. Right now, I've been married for five years, and even my children are three years old, but I don't even have a caring person around the prince, and I'm really anxious as a sister. ”

The county lord took her hand: "Right now, you are in the eyes of the prince, and you will serve the prince well with Rusong." ”

Rusong is the name of the fifth lady of the prime minister's family.

Only then did Shen Mingzhen know that the man she had just seen next to the pond was the crown prince of the dynasty.

She just casually said a few words to him, and the prince took a fancy to her?

Is it so casual?

Shen Mingzhen looked at the county lord, and then at Miss Rusong beside her. Such as a fish in the throat.

In her previous life, a concubine from the Marquis of Wu'an made her miserable and embarrassed. If she is the prince's side concubine, she will be intrigued with Miss Wuqianjin. Sooner or later, she will be eaten alive by them.

She is rich and powerful now, and she really doesn't want to be the crown prince's concubine.

She looked at the county lord, blessed her body, didn't speak again, and stood quietly to the side.

Who doesn't know the daughter of the official family of the dynasty that this county lord Niangniang, at the age of fifteen, helped the queen to manage the harem, and when she was eighteen years old, she accompanied her husband to the frontier together, and when the enemy rushed over and invaded, because of the lack of manpower, she even personally led a team of personal soldiers to fight from the rear. So much so that she won the title of a female general on the battlefield.

The uncle of the county lord who is now promoted, the county lord has been competitive since he was a child, and he is very popular with the queen.

She is a weak person, and it is really difficult to refuse openly.

Shen Mingzhen exhaled, and she had a headache about the scene in front of her.

So much so that she was depressed at the banquet later.

But after all, she didn't return empty-handed, and when the banquet was over, the county lord gave her a pair of jade bracelets that were green and transparent, and packed them in a delicate box made of nanmu gold locks, which attracted countless young ladies to look at her sideways.

Before Shen Mingzhen went home, Master Shen came out and personally came to the main gate to greet her: "I heard that you have the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"How did my father know?"

Master Shen smiled so much that the folds on his face were stacked together: "When you haven't come back yet, the grandmother next to the county lord's mother came over and learned about the situation of our family." In my opinion, the matter of you marrying into the prince's mansion is eight or nine years old. ”

His daughter got the prince's eyes, and Master Shen stared at Shen Mingzhen happily, and Shen Mingzhen, who was looking directly, was worried.

She went back to the house and burned incense, specially kowtowed to the Bodhisattva a few more times, and begged the prince and the county lord to spare her.

I wanted to go to my mother to report my mother's safety, but I saw Aunt Zhu and Shen Mingzhu sitting by the flower pond of the old locust tree, muttering and scolding her angrily: "Shen Mingzhen is really lucky, but I just went to the county lord's banquet and was able to get the prince's eye?" Mingzhu, you are the best-looking lady in our house. When there is such a thing in the future, you beg your father to let you go too, and you can't let that cheap hoof enjoy all the benefits. ”

Cheap hooves?

Aunt Zhu framed her mother before and deliberately buried musk in Mrs. Sun's yard, and she didn't have time to settle accounts with her.

He even dared to speak filthy words here.

Shen Mingzhen stepped forward quietly, looked at Aunt Zhu in shock, and raised her hand to give Aunt Zhu a slap.

The hairpin on Aunt Zhu's head was thrown off by her, and her black hair was scattered. She looked at Shen Mingzhen, got up from the ground, raised her foot and kicked Shen Mingzhen's leg.

Zi Su tugged at Aunt Zhu's back and didn't let her step forward.

Aunt Zhu called her daughter: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come to help your mother?" ”

Shen Mingzhu joined the scuffle at this time, pulled Zisu from Aunt Zhu to the ground with two hands, rode on Zisu, and kicked and beat her. Shiso's face was flushed with a beating.

The current location is very close to my mother's yard.

Hearing the quarrel outside, several mothers-in-law had rushed out.

Shen Mingzhen asked her mother-in-law to block Shen Mingzhu's mouth and pull her up from Zisu. asked people to tie Aunt Zhu's arms with ropes, and gave Aunt Zhu a few mouths.

"First, I'm the eldest lady. You are just a concubine, logically speaking, I am the master of this house, you are just a subordinate and a plaything. ”

"Second, you slander your master behind your back, which is disrespectful."

"Third, you hurt and connived at Shen Mingzhu's maid. If she is maimed and injured, in case I am taken by the prince and invites me to Taizifu, without Zisu to accompany me, can you afford this responsibility? ”

Aunt Zhu was naturally unconvinced.

She has been in the house for so many years, the lord coaxes, and the subordinates provide for her, who dares to treat herself as a person.

Shen Mingzhu's identity is higher than her, but so what, isn't her daughter Shen Mingzhu the eldest lady in the mansion.

At present, her eldest cousin owes others 10,000 taels of silver, and the restaurant is gone, and Aunt Zhu still doesn't know how to explain this matter to the old lady. sat on the flower bed with his daughter to nag and decompress, and then suffered Shen Mingzhen's mouth. She was already anxious, and shouted at Shen Mingzhen: "If you move my finger again, I will let my eldest brother and sister-in-law make a stumbling block for you behind my back." Do you still want to marry the prince's mansion?

If you don't have a good reputation in Beijing, I'll see how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to be a side concubine.

How can the saint and the queen mother tolerate a person with immoral virtues like you by the prince's side?

If you have a bad reputation, don't say that you are the prince, even any wealthy nobles in Beijing will not marry someone like you again. ”

"Auntie, don't you forget, Shen Mingzhu and I are the same father. I don't have a good reputation, won't Shen Mingzhu be affected by the rumors in Beijing and end up with the same fate as me who can't get married?

You maliciously slandered the eldest lady of the Shen family, will your father and grandmother let you go? ”

She leaned close to Aunt Zhu's ear: "I know you forgot that there was musk in your mother's yard." But my mother is pregnant now, and I don't want to worry about you for the time being. If you can keep to yourself these months and wait for the birth of the child in your mother's womb, I will be guilty of the past. If you don't know who you are, and you deliberately make waves, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Where can she be unkind?

It's just a little girl.

Aunt Zhu wanted to open her mouth to laugh, but because of her current predicament, she had to give in to Shen Mingzhen.

She was arrogant, and she looked arrogant: "Got it, eldest miss." ”

Shen Mingzhen hummed and let her go.

Mrs. Sun was studying, and when she saw her coming, she asked someone to serve her a cup of brown sugar ginger tea: "The child in my belly is getting more and more noisy, don't you know how to heal, why don't you help your mother see if the child in her mother's womb is a boy or a girl?" ”

Shen Mingzhen smiled, took the pulse in Mrs. Sun's hand, pretended to be mournful, and looked at Mrs. Sun and sighed faintly.

Mrs. Sun was anxious: "Are they two daughters?" ”

Shen Mingzhen couldn't bear to tease her: "In my opinion, in my mother's womb, there may be two children, a man and a girl, who are dragon and phoenix fetuses." ”

Mrs. Sun was relieved and looked at her: "When these two children are born, the family will be even more lively." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

Shen Mingzhen picked up the brown sugar ginger tea, took a sip, coughed a few times, and spit out the tea.

The taste of this tea is different from usual.

She sniffed it carefully, only to find that a small amount of bitter hay had been added to the brown sugar. This kind of grass is plain and can be seen everywhere, and eating more can also detoxify the fire. But now that the mother is pregnant, and the body needs tonic, how can she drink such a cold thing?

Fortunately, when she had just not checked her mother's pulse, she was diagnosed with the symptoms of mother and child's well-being.

She looked up and asked the grandmother beside her mother, "Who put this thing in your mother's tea?" ”

Mama hesitated for a moment: "It was made by the third-class maid Xing'er in the wife's courtyard." Is there anything wrong with this ginger tea? ”

Shen Mingzhen didn't speak, and hurried to the courtyard. Apricot is making a fire in the kitchen, and there are fine ginger slices and brown sugar on the shelves next to her. In the gap under the wooden shelves, a corner of the bitter hay was hidden.

She stepped forward and took out the bitter hay she was hiding: "Why do you add this kind of thing to your mother's ginger tea?" ”

Xing'er panicked for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed to admit her mistake: "The slave didn't forget that Mrs. added this grass to her tea." This kind of grass was picked by the slave maid yesterday and wanted to make tea and drink it herself. Xu didn't pay attention, added a few sticks into it, and asked the lady to forgive me. ”

Shen Mingzhen didn't speak, and lifted the pot on the stove.

The smell of bitter hay hits your face.

Is this a little bit more?

She looked at her grandmother: "This kind of maid, staying in the mother's yard, sooner or later will be a scourge." If I'm not mistaken, the people in my mother's yard bought it, right? Since it is a purchased object, the person who serves it is so dedicated...... And he slew it. ”

Mama said yes, called someone and dragged the apricot into the yard.

Shen Mingzhen sat on the kitchen bench and didn't move, as if she wanted to watch the execution.

Xing'er glanced at Shen Mingzhen's expression, then looked at the mama with a fierce face, knelt at Shen Mingzhen's feet, and cried tears: "The eldest lady atoned for her sins, it was the eldest young master who asked the slave to do this." He said that Aunt Zhu and Miss Mingzhu were always angry with the eldest lady, and the young master said that he wanted to teach Mrs. Sun a lesson.

He also said that this grass can only make people's stomachs uncomfortable when they are pregnant, and there is no real harm in it, so the slave maid does this. ”

"Really?

What benefits did the eldest young master give you? ”

Xing'er was silent for a while before she stumbled and whispered: "The young master said that if the slave and maid do well, the slave and maid will be raised as the young master's concubine." ”

The eldest young master of the Shen family is only fourteen years old.

Shen Mingzhen felt a little funny.

She didn't expect that Aunt Zhu and Shen Mingzhu had been warned by herself. Shen Xiaobawang dared to come behind his back.

If my mother eats too much of this kind of bitter hay, she will die twice.

When she was a child, Shen Xiaobawang relied on himself to be the only son of the Shen family, but he often came to Mrs. Sun's house to make trouble. Every time I came, I either made a mess of my mother's fruit snacks, or I took some delicious and fun things from my mother's house.

Several times, he dyed his mother's expensive clothes flesh-colored, and stepped on Master Shen's music.

Therefore, he has the alias of Little Overlord.

His father was afraid that her temperament would bring disaster to the Shen family, so he sent him to the academy to cultivate his self-cultivation.

Four years have passed, and nothing has changed?

If Shen Mingzhen remembers well, Shen Xiaoba will come back the day after tomorrow.

She glanced at Xing'er and said to Mama: "Since our little master likes Xing'er, let's freshen up Xing'er and send it to the little master's room the night after tomorrow." ”
