Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Women of the East Palace

Nian Yun was stunned.

When she met Wang Liangdi, she was still Guo Muye, and even in the East Palace, this matter should be considered a secret.

mentioned this matter in front of the prince, it can be seen that she is quite favored and has some status, so she can sit in this position. And mentioning it at this time, is it threatening her, the new county lady?

Wang Liangdi was also very kind, and just smiled: "Sister Zhaoxun said that she laughed, such a good family, besides, we Nianyun have a reputation for being knowledgeable since childhood, and there are rich and noble families with men in Beijing who don't want to climb the knot, but now Chun'er is blessed!" ”

That Zhaoxun Niu seemed to be really just praising Nianyun, and said: "I also look at Huanxi, Chun'er, the new daughter-in-law, is not only knowledgeable, but also extremely intelligent. Presumably, the concubine seal in charge of affairs will be relieved to be handed over to her! ”

Concubine seal?

Nianyun instantly understood that she was sowing discord.

There is no crown princess in the East Palace, but someone has to be in charge, although Wang Liangdi's position is already the highest, in the end it is not justifiable, once she was not the crown princess, after all, she is only a temporary manager. Now that she, the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, has married, Wang Liangdi's power has begun to be questioned.

Now the situation is unknown, there are so many women in the prince, looking at Yingying Yanyan, it must have become a black-eyed chicken, but it is not easy to deal with. If you take over the baton now, who knows what demon moths will come out, but I'm afraid that I won't even know how to die at that time.

Besides, she didn't want to offend her mother-in-law so quickly. So he hurriedly said: "Nianyun is young and ignorant, where can he get these?" It's better for Liangdi to continue to manage properly, and Liangdi shouldn't be lazy. ”

That Niu Zhaoxun was stunned: "What are you afraid of when you are young, I heard that our crown princess also became a family at the age of fifteen!" It's Hui Niang, and she's only two years old when Mrs. Dajun is two years old, what's so difficult, the left is just in charge. ”

Nian Yun was surprised when he heard this, isn't it Wang Liangdi who is in charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace now?

But I heard Wang Liangdi laugh and said: "Sister, don't play dumb riddles, Nianyun is new, I'm afraid I don't know, Your Highness is not in good health, I naturally spend a lot of energy, how can I have to work hard to take care of family affairs?" Now the family is managed by Hui Niang. ”

Nianyun is clear, the prince is so beautiful and red, no more worry-free than in the Daming Palace, even her daughter-in-law can't protect herself, if Wang Liangdi can still spare energy to manage things at such an age, then it is called supernatural.

She turned to Nianyun: "Now that Chun'er has got married, the housework will be handed over to you sooner or later." However, I am not busy at this moment, you have to pack up your things and prepare for the return ceremony these days, and I am afraid that you will not have time to pay attention to these. ”

The point of daring is not to provoke the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but for Hui Niang. Nian Yun secretly raised his eyes and swept around, not knowing which one Hui Niang was.

However, I don't know if that Hui Niang was too forbearant or was not present for other reasons, so she didn't stand up and take a stand.

However, it is still unwise to make enemies for yourself right away.

Wang Liangdi's meaning is also very clear, anyway, it is justified for her to take care of it, but you might as well wait and see if you understand.

It can be seen that she still protects Nianyun, of course she has to express her appreciation: "Liangdi said very much, Nianyun is stupid, and she doesn't dare to rush to make it big." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been watching the women's fighting methods coldly, and when he saw that it was almost over, he spoke at the right time: "It's not too early, Nian Yun thinks that he hasn't had breakfast yet, right?" Since Chun'er doesn't have to go to court these days, accompany your daughter-in-law more. ”

Li Chun, who was also watching the fire from the other side, smiled at this time: "Yes, father, Chun will retire." ”

Coming out of the Cheng'en Palace, the mask-like smile on Nian Yun's face suddenly collapsed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "There are so many side concubines of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is so tiring every day!" ”

Li Chun picked the corners of his mouth: "Do you regret it?" ”

Nian Yun glanced at him, but he smiled happily: "It's too late to regret it, I said that I would marry you sooner or later, but now I have it, right?" ”

Nianyun was speechless, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "In this way, it took some effort for you to marry me, and you just threw me into that group of women with teeth and claws, and didn't help me stop it?" ”

Li Chun pounced like a fried puppy: "Hey, hey, who do you say is showing his teeth and claws?" ”

Only then did Nian Yun realize that "those women" were even counted as his mother. She laughed out loud and slapped him away: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong!" ”

Li Chun snorted in his nose: "It's only been a day, you have to help me?" Didn't my mother-in-law teach you the way to survive in the palace, these women can't cope with it, and when I go to the court, you will be eaten and wiped clean in three moments, who can save you! ”

She was a little sad. Mother didn't tell her this, but Guo Yan said a lot in bits and pieces, telling her that the inner courtyard was like a court, and told her to beware of open and secret battles between women.

But what Li Chun said is indeed the truth, even if he holds her on the tip of his heart all the time, he is afraid that he may not be able to protect her thoroughly, so she has to deal with it herself.

But she still didn't follow: "You didn't tell me anything, you at least tell me which ...... Hui Niang is"

Li Chun was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps stopped: "She will naturally come to see you later." ”

She was surprised: "Come to see me?" Why? ”

Li Chun was helpless: "You stupid woman! ”

When she returned to her residence, Nian Yun ordered Fennel to help her change out of this heavy outfit, but a maid said, "Madame, change your clothes slowly, and change them after a while." ”

Nian Yunyin asked, "Who else are you waiting for?" ”

The maid wanted to speak and stopped.

Nian Yun saw that this maid was familiar and asked, "Who sent you and what is your name?" ”

The maid took a look at Li Chun and said, "The slave maid Yuzhu and Chonglou were sent by the king of the county to serve his wife." ”

She remembered that once when she was in the princess's mansion, Li Chun ordered someone to bring her something, and it was these two maids.

At this time, someone came to report again: "Hui Niang and Ji Niangzi are here." ”

Nian Yun was slightly stunned, looked at Li Chun, saw his uncomfortable face, and suddenly realized that these two were his concubines!

So she secretly sighed in her heart: That Hui Niang is indeed not simple, as a small princess and concubine, she can manage the huge family of the East Palace under the prince's eighteen concubines!

At the same time, she also felt a huge headache: it turned out that she had to face not only a man who didn't know how to love, a group of chattering mothers, but also a group of women who might covet her position or compete with her for favor.

Sister, sister, the years lost to her are really not so easy!

The pothos decisively helped her to sit on the main seat, and she took advantage of the situation to pick up the shelf, put her arms on the small table, and passed the two in.

The two concubines hadn't come in yet, but they only heard the footsteps of "puff puff pass", Nian Yunzheng was surprised who was so frizzy, and saw a small person wearing tiger head shoes and getting in from the corner of the curtain.

Before he could react, the white and chubby little bun had already rushed towards Li Chun: "Grandpa! ”

This......

Nianyun looked at Li Chun, Li Chun was a little embarrassed, but quickly shifted his attention to Xiao Baozi, and hugged him lovingly: "Has Ning'er listened to the nurse's words and eaten well these days?" ”

Xiao Baozi said in a milky voice: "Ning'er listens very much, and every meal is seven (eats) a big bowl of rice!" At the same time, two chubby little hands were stretched out.

Li Chun smiled: "I said, it's a little heavier than before!" ”

The little bun suddenly became aggrieved, and his speech was slurred: "Grandpa hasn't been looking at Ning'er and A-Niang for a long time......"

Li Chun was stunned, and then smiled: "Isn't Grandpa busy!" ”

Ning'er suddenly looked at Nianyun, pursed her mouth, and cried when she opened her mouth: "Grandpa...... Grandpa married a new daughter-in-law, don't ...... Ning'er and A-Niang ......"

Nianyun's head was big for a while. It is said that Juneday is a child's face, but this little bun's face is clearly better than Juneday. Looking at him, he will not be more than a year and a half years old, and he can't say anything, what he can understand, it must be taught by those two concubines.

It can be seen that although Li Chun does not have as many women as him, it is not very peaceful.

Li Chun's face also darkened for a moment, and he was thinking about how to explain, when he saw the bead curtain move, and the two women walked in with a smile. The one wearing apricot yellow clothes and a more loyal face stepped forward and took down the little bun that was crying like an octopus on Li Chun's neck: "Oh, Ning'er, how many times have you said that you want to listen to Grandpa's words here, why did you make trouble again?" ”

While pulling the child to Nianyun: "Quick, Ning'er, kowtow to your mother." ”

Xiao Baozi looked up at Nian Yun for a moment, and then shouted: "She robbed my grandfather, she is not my mother!" ”

The peach-clothed man reprimanded in a low voice: "Ning'er, don't talk nonsense!" ”

While pulling the little bun, the two adults coaxed one by one in a low voice, and I don't know what benefits were promised, the little bun finally gave in, and kowtowed honestly: "Mother." ”

After appeasing the children, the two stepped forward and kowtowed: "Concubine Ji's Lilac and Xu's Hui Niang have seen Mrs. Jun." ”

It turned out that the apricot yellow clothes were Ji Dingxiang, and the little bun was her son.

Nianyun saw it in his eyes, but he didn't attack, and only ordered Fennel to take the candy and snacks on the table to tease Ning'er, looking innocent. What does the child know, and when she sees that the food here is better than that given by the nurse, she naturally rejoices.

Nianyun asked about the two of them, Ji Dingxiang was nineteen years old, and Hui Niang was seventeen years old.

Lilac said: "The two of us are a few years older, if the lady does not dislike it, it will be a good sister." ”

Nianyun only looked at her, took a sip of tea slowly, and pretended to be ignorant: "Hey, the wives and concubines of our Guo family are obviously in order according to their positions, and they have never been counted by age, this is the rule of the East Palace?" ”

That lilac was originally just a temptation, and hurriedly said: "Madame misunderstood, the concubine is saying, if Madame doesn't dislike it, the two of us will call Madame a sister." ”

Nian Yun only smiled and said nothing.

Hui Niang thought for a while, took out a small seal box from her body, and said: "The concubine is not talented, and she is valued by His Royal Highness and Liangdi, and takes care of family affairs on her behalf." Now that my sister is here, I should return it to my sister in charge. ”

If she hadn't refused in the Cheng'en Palace, I'm afraid she wouldn't have taken it out so easily. Nianyun smiled lightly: "Liangdi also said, I have just arrived, how do I know how to manage things?" Sister and take it. ”

Hui Niang excused herself a little and then withdrew the golden seal.

Nianyun noticed the meaningful smile in her eyes, but she was not busy dealing with her, she smiled idly, looked at Ning'er, who was eating happily next to Fennel, and said, "This child is well-behaved, I like it when I see it." Ask my sister for a permission, why don't you send Ning'er to my Yiqiu Palace to be raised? ”
