Since the princess came back, the people in Huaiwangfu have tightened their scalps, and they are used to the loose days of half a year, and they suddenly have to be careful to serve, which is really a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Ji got up before dawn and went to the main courtyard to greet the princess, and just walked to the main courtyard and saw Chen Peiwen.

"Yo, Miss Chen got up so early today?"

Chen Peiwen glanced at the delicate-looking Concubine Ji, her brows furrowed, she instinctively didn't like this woman who was respectful to her aunt, and she didn't know why.

"Concubine Ji."

Chen Peiwen nodded as a greeting, raised her feet and went to the house, today I rushed to serve my aunt to freshen up, in order to behave well, the previous days were a little low-key I listened to Su Yun's words and became familiar with the palace first.

After Mingyue returned to the palace, she waited for the princess to arrange herself into the courtyard of the prince, and waited day after day, but she didn't see the princess mention it, and her patience was about to run out.

As soon as Chen Peiwen entered the house, she saw Mingyue's figure standing beside the princess, pulling a strand of the princess's hair and combing it.

"Auntie, I'll serve you."

Princess Huai looked at Chen Peiwen who appeared in the glasses and was slightly surprised.

"Why did you get up so early on this cold day? Auntie has someone waiting here, where can I use you to do these things, let your mother know later, but I have to blame me. ”

Having said that, Chen Peiwen still picked up a hairpin and compared it to Chen Yan's black hair.

"Auntie's hair is very good, and this Shu chrysanthemum gold and silver hairpin is really beautiful."

"How old is my aunt, if you want to say that you are beautiful, you still have to be a girl of your age."

Chen Yan's words made Mingyue and Chen Peiwen's faces change, but the former was not happy, but the latter was overjoyed.

Princess Huai dressed and walked to the main room and sat down, Mingyue's mother, Princess Yuan's nurse, had just set up a table for breakfast.

"Princess Niangniang, Concubine Ji is waiting outside."

"Please come in."

"Yes."

Ji Shi entered the back room, the cold air on his body met the heating in the house, which made people tremble, and glanced at the people in the house, Ji Shi raised an affectionate smile and stepped forward to salute.

"Alright, let's have breakfast together on this cold day."

Chen Yan stopped Ji's in vain, but the nurse Yuan's mother didn't mean to step forward to help, so Ji's honestly knelt down and kowtowed, and there was no mistake in his behavior.

"The princess is merciful, but the concubine must not forget her roots, this should be done in courtesy, don't feel sorry for me."

"After so many years, you are good, this concubine remembers it in her heart, come and sit down."

Chen Yan patted the brocade stool on her side, Chen Peiwen sat on the other side of Chen Yan, watched Ji sit down, and snorted disdainfully.

As if he hadn't heard, Ji picked up the soup spoon and filled the princess with a bowl of chicken soup.

Mingyue stood beside the princess with her hands together, as long as Concubine Ji came to ask for peace for so many years, the breakfast must be Concubine Ji waiting for the princess to enter, which saved the maids a lot of things.

Mother Yuan stood on the other side of the princess with her eyes and nose, looked at her daughter with few eyes, and sighed secretly, she was still too young, so she couldn't hold her breath like this.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness will be eighteen in the New Year, and it is time to marry a girl from a good family and come back and add a princess to the palace, right?"

Ji Shi glanced at Mingyue and Chen Peiwen as he spoke, their faces were not very good-looking, Mingyue could bear it, Chen Peiwen's number was a little worse, the hand holding the chopsticks was twisted, and she looked like she was eager to break the chopsticks.

When Chen Yan heard this topic, she was worried and sighed before she could say anything.

"Zhan'er's marriage is a piece of my heart, I want to ....... It's been three years, and the prince has no idea, even Zhan'er diverts the topic from me every time, and I'm the only one who is in a hurry. ”

Concubine Ji glanced at Chen Peiwen and smiled comforting the princess.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince went south to worship his ancestors this time, and met the woman in the Governor of Changchun Mansion, although the official position of this Governor is lower, but the position of the Prince's side concubine is also enough."

"Your news is lagging behind, the three girls in Changchun Mansion are all show girls now, and they have entered Beijing. Even if they are not show girls, it is not enough to give Zhan'er a side concubine in their family's family, and the Tong family is actually married to Shangjia, I think even if they are transferred to Jingguan, it will not be high. ”

After taking a sip of the yellow and clear millet porridge, Chen Yan thought about it, I recently heard that the Queen Mother's illness has improved, and it seems that the milk tea recipe should also come in handy.

Ji Shi listened to Chen Yan's words, his eyes rolled, and he clapped his hands as if he had thought of something.

"Niangniang is worried about the selection of the concubine in this world, won't this early draft come in handy?! Do you think about it, aren't the ladies of the right age in Beijing among the show girls, with the status of His Royal Highness the Prince in the emperor's mind, are you still worried about marrying a beautiful girl? ”

"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, taking a concubine and Nami, of course, the choice of the princess depends on the other party's family background, and the appearance is not very important."

Mother Yuan was staring at Ji from beginning to end, and when she heard the princess's remarks, Ji still had a warm smile, obviously a scheming person, but she didn't know what she was planning.

For so many years, the princess has been deceived by her and trusted her wholeheartedly, but her old bones are not confused, and she has never believed in this Ji family.

"What the princess taught me was that it was the concubine who spoke falsely. Since it is difficult to choose a concubine in this world, the concubine is always fine, right? Glancing at Mingyue, who was uneasily touching her dress with both hands, Ji chuckled, "The concubine thinks that the Mingyue girl in front of her is beautiful, and she has served her mother for so many years and is very considerate and sensible. ”

Mingyue looked at Ji with a surprised face, and looked at the princess's side face with trepidation, afraid of hearing anything unsatisfactory, on the other hand, Chen Peiwen really hated Concubine Ji at this moment.

"I didn't think about what you said, it's time to arrange it when I come back, I was going to do it a year ago." Turned sideways and took Mingyue's hand and patted it gently, "I watched this child grow up, and I am relieved to have her to serve Zhan'er." ”

"The slave has thanked the princess."

Mingyue blessed her body with a shy face, raised her eyes and looked at her mother who was standing on the other side of the princess, and at this moment, Yuan's old face was also full of joy.

Chen Peiwen felt panicked in her heart, and the tall man flashed in her mind, living in that small Hecheng since she was a child, and she had never seen such a handsome man, but it would not be possible to say that you would not marry you.

After coming to the capital to live in the palace, Chen Peiwen's vision is also improving a little bit, especially with Su Yun, the old Jianghu, who has taught herself so many days, Chen Peiwen knows that her best destination is not this small Huai Wangfu, but to seek a higher position, and the position of a concubine of the prince is regarded as a treasure by a lowly maid like Mingyue, but this does not prevent her from seeing Ji and Mingyue unpleasantly, what is there to be happy about being a concubine!

Several people in the house were talking and laughing happily, and Song Zhan, who was standing outside the door, his face was as cold as the cold air wafting between heaven and earth, he lowered his eyes and looked at his palm, and suddenly stretched out his palm and pushed open the door.

The palm wind carried the cold wind and lifted most of the heavy cotton curtain, and the silver frost charcoal in the furnace burst out violently.

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

"Zhan'er, why are you here? Aren't you going to be on duty in the palace today? ”

Chen Yan was surprised and glanced at Ji, who stood up and took Mingyue's place when Song Zhan pushed open the door of the house, and Mingyue stepped forward to take Song Zhan's mink fur diligently.

"In time, the son-in-law came to say goodbye to his mother."

How can you hear so many things related to you if you don't come to ask for peace Song Zhan felt a little tired, the woman in the back house had nothing to do all day long, and she was thinking about these things every day, and it was more interesting than the third lady of the Tong family.

"You taste this millet porridge boiled in the small kitchen, open the stomach and benefit the dantian, the mother heard that you have not used it fragrant these days, drink some millet porridge."

Chen Yan didn't know how long Song Zhan had been standing outside the house and how much he had heard, but at this moment he was completely motherly-hearted, looking at his handsome and comfortable son, he was very proud.

"The mother's house is so lively, but the son-in-law is disturbing the mother?"

Song Zhan took the millet porridge, looked at the yellow fragrant and silky porridge and asked casually, Chen Yan saw that her son was rarely willing to accompany her to chat, and immediately opened the chatterbox.

"What's not lively, it's just talking about you."

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Zhan'er, you are eighteen years old after the New Year, look at your guards and those children of the same age as you in Jinwuwei, how many of them are already married, and this time the ancestor came back and the mother concubine heard that several of them have become fathers."

"So the mother concubine is planning to arrange the marriage for her son?"

"The mother concubine wants to, but now that the draft is advanced, the suitable ladies in Beijing are all waiting to be selected, and the mother concubine has to look for more." Chen Yan looked regretful, took a bite of the brown sugar jujube cake, glanced at Song Zhan, who had a somewhat empty look, and then said, "Don't mention the candidate for the princess for the time being, but your courtyard is cold, and it is time for someone to serve you." ”

"Where did the mother's words come from, the courtyard of the sons and daughters is very well tied."

Song Zhan glanced back at Chen with an inexplicable face, the mother concubine treated her with impeccable heart, but she was too worried about things that left the dust.

From time to time, I sent people over to send soup and water to ask for warmth, and this errand was mostly done by Mingyue, a first-class maid in front of the concubine, who didn't care before, so I let the people in the concubine's yard go in and out, but now the situation is different, of course, I have to take this opportunity to break off all the thoughts that shouldn't be.

"Your child is at odds with his mother again, isn't he? The mother concubine is talking about your Lichen Xuan, either a servant or a servant. Stretched out his hand and pulled Mingyue, who was standing behind Song Zhan, and compared Mingyue's hand to Song Zhan, "There is a lack of considerate people like Mingyue in your yard, and you are not small, you don't need to explain it thoroughly in front of so many people, right?" ”

A pair of slender jade hands were in front of his eyes, Song Zhan subconsciously compared them with Tong Qingyan's hands, they were both slender and slender, but Tong Qingyan's nails were full of healthy pink blood, and Mingyue's fingernails looked a little lacking in blood.

"The mother concubine should know that the emperor will not be happy to see more people in my house who shouldn't be there."

The words spoken in a flat tone were cold and ruthless, at least Mingyue felt that her heart was like a lantern under the verandah outside the house at the moment, swaying left and right by the cold wind and about to fall.

"It's been three years, does the emperor still want to ......?"

"Mother, please be careful." Song Zhan's sharp eyes swept over, looked at the Chen family with a panicked complexion, and said more decisive words, "The mother concubine should keep in mind that the saint has allowed the Chen family to rise and fall back, and it is already as wide as the sea, and the marriage of the sons and daughters will definitely not be the turn of the mother concubine, unless the mother concubine is willing to return to the Chen family to the past, and even more so, the mother concubine hopes that from now on, there will be no Huai Wangfu in this world?" ”

"Nope! No...... The mother is just ......"

Song Zhan stood up and glanced at everyone in the room, and the people in his sight lowered their heads uncomfortably, and the Ji family was also shocked by Song Zhan's cold aura.

"Take care of your mouth, otherwise this son of the world doesn't mind a few more dead people in the Huai Palace."

Coming out of the gate of the Huai Wang's Mansion and riding a horse, Song Zhan exhaled the stuffiness in his chest.

When my grandfather was alive, he was so devoted to protecting the foundation of the palace, and now that the burden has fallen on his shoulders, he knows how disheartening it is behind this seemingly rich palace, everyone lives only for themselves, and never thinks about the future of the palace.

As soon as he turned the corner of the street on a horse, Song Zhan stopped his horse, and a man came out of the shadow around the corner.

"What's the matter?"

"Miss Tong has something to give to Shizi."

took the oiled paper bag from the man in gray, put it in his arms and rode away.

When he entered the palace guard's rest place to change clothes, Song Zhan took out the still warm oil paper bag in his arms, opened it and saw that it was five dumplings.

The size is smaller than the common dumplings, pick up one and take a bite, the aroma of sticky rice is also mixed with the taste of some fruit, and after eating another bite to identify it, I know that the taste of the fruit is persimmon.

Persimmon gluttony? What kind of dumb riddle is this girl playing......

Tong Qingyan, who was eating persimmons in the Tongfu Hanlian Garden, knew that the things had been delivered, and grinned.

In order to better fulfill the agreement, Tong Qingyan felt that it was necessary to occasionally remind the prince of Xiang Bao that he had to be as firm as a jade in this capital.
