"Really! Jin Yan, you see, it's really Mrs. Hou! She pointed to the door, and Mrs. Hou got out of the carriage and saw her from afar.

Jiang Yingli couldn't hold back anymore, trotted up, and said eagerly: "Mother has worked hard all the way, come with me to meet the concubine Niangniang, and then go to my house to rest and rest!" ”

Jin Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiang Yingli so happy, and quipped: "The slave maid has seen Mrs. Hou, madam, haven't you seen it, yesterday afternoon when the concubine said that you were going to go into the palace to chat with the girl to relieve her boredom, how happy the girl was, no, the girl unexpectedly didn't snooze early this morning, and waited for Mrs. early!" ”

Jiang Yingli couldn't help blushing for a while when she was so teased, but she hadn't seen Mrs. Hou for a long time, so she still couldn't help it and leaned in affectionately.

"During this time, the little girl is naughty, and she really bothers the concubine." When Mrs. Hou saw Jiang Yingliang, she was also excited, but in the end, she was in the palace, she endured it, and knew that the person in front of her was from the palace of the concubine, so she began to be polite.

"The courtiers greet the concubine Niangniang, and I wish the concubine good health."

Mrs. Hou first followed the rules to greet the concubine Niangniang, so that she had the heart to pay attention to the situation in the concubine's palace.

Then the two princesses ran in with a smile, and there was another burst of laughter.

The concubine seemed to be a little tired today, and only said a few polite words, but as Jiang Yingli wished, she brought Mrs. Hou back to the room for a reunion.

"Mother, are you and your father doing well lately? It's hot in summer, the heat is too hot, so be careful, don't get heatstroke. ”

"By the way, what's going on with Jiang Cheng? Has his schoolwork gotten a little better lately? How are you getting along with your classmates at private school? I haven't been back for a long time, so I'm afraid that Jiang Cheng won't show his face, and finally secretly cry in the quilt. ”

Mrs. Hou looked at her daughter happily, looked at her, and saw that she was not as haggard as she was worried, so she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly replied to her words: "It's all good, we are all fine, but I'm worried that you won't have a good time." ”

Jiang Yingli didn't think so, no matter how difficult it was, didn't he come over?

Mrs. Hou sent the other maids, and when there were only the two of them left in the house, she asked in a low voice: "Li'er, have you been bullying you in the past few days when you told your mother the truth about entering the palace?" Are you acting safely? ”

She was very worried that Jiang Yingli was a good person, and she didn't have any scheming at all, and there was no one who could stay in this palace for a long time to deal with, if she said something wrong or did something wrong, she might die overnight.

Jiang Yingli shook her head, she took her wife's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, mother!" I'm all right here, I know how to do things, and I will never do anything out of the ordinary, even if it's not for myself, but for the sake of the Hou Mansion! ”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou didn't respond to her, it seemed that she wasn't listening to her at all, her expression was a little melancholy, and there was a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.

"Mother, are you hiding something from me? I always feel like you're preoccupied today. Jiang Yingliang's heart sank, couldn't it be that during the period of his absence, something happened to the Hou Mansion?

Mrs. Hou didn't dare to look at her, and her eyes were a little evasive, which made her even more suspicious.

"Is there something going on in the Hou Mansion? Mother! Although you are here to chat with your daughter to relieve her boredom, if you don't tell her the truth about anything, her daughter is not only bored and depressed, but also worried! ”

Mrs. Hou was still silent, raising her head and drinking tea, Jiang Yingli noticed that her hands were a little shaky, and when she looked at Mrs. Hou, she didn't dare to look directly into her eyes, there was definitely a problem.

"Mother, you just told your daughter to be here with peace of mind, just don't make trouble, but I really can't calm down and do things like you now!"

She didn't know how Mrs. Hou would tell the truth, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After a while, Mrs. Hou put down the teacup and sighed, even more melancholy: "Alas, I have been married to Hou Ye for many years and have not been able to have children, and the only daughter I gave birth to has left early. ”

Madame clutched her chest, and she felt very uncomfortable remembering it.

"So, not long after you left, I asked someone to find a few concubines for Hou Ye, not for anything else, just to leave a descendant for Hou Ye, but Hou Ye disagreed, he said that it doesn't hurt to have no queen, I and he have left this world after a hundred years, and it is not necessary to have a child."

"I know that Hou Ye respects me, but I can't be so selfish, for this reason, Hou Ye and I have a big quarrel."

Jiang Yingli looked at Mrs. Hou, she didn't know that Mrs. Hou was reluctantly cutting her love, but she was too great and would rather sacrifice herself. At the same time, she felt very sorry for Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou was no longer young, she knew that she couldn't be satisfied with Hou Ye in this life, and she felt very guilty, maybe she and Hou Ye could have a child It was her dream all along!

"Li'er, I didn't enter the palace this time to let you persuade your father for me, I really don't know what to do, it's useless for that person to persuade you, for the sake of today, no matter who can conceive Anpinghou's child."

Mrs. Hou's eyes looked wet, and she had been suffering from insomnia lately, and had spent every day in torment.

Jiang Yingli was silent, she didn't know what kind of words could effectively comfort Mrs. Hou at this moment, but at the same time, she felt a little puzzled, why didn't this incident happen before, but it was the contradiction that broke out after she left?

"Mother......" Jiang Yingli thought about it, and still couldn't help asking: "Actually, is someone putting pressure on you......

In the past, their husband and wife were in love, even if their beloved daughter had passed away, Anpinghou never thought of taking a concubine, otherwise why would there be such a righteous daughter as himself? This thing feels a little strange anyway.

"Fence." Mrs. Hou couldn't help but be surprised, "How do you know......" She didn't want to say it, so as not to worry Jiang Yinglian, or dare not go back to the house in the future, but she didn't expect that she would guess.

"The old lady is back, and on the grounds that I have no queen, she forcibly accepted a few concubines for the Hou Ye."

Sure enough, Jiang Yingliang's eyes darkened, and then he comforted Mrs. Hou and said, "Mother, since my father is unwilling, there is no need to force it, so as not to hurt the relationship between husband and wife." I also know some privacy in the palace, about the way to ask for a child, more or less there are some, if the mother wants to try, I can try my best to find it for you. ”

"Really? It's risky to find this kind of recipe in the palace, you better be careful, at most you can't find the recipe, and your mother won't feel anything. ”

Mrs. Hou didn't expect that Jiang Yingli would say this, but she was actually unwilling in her heart, so when Jiang Yingli mentioned it, she didn't want to agree.

"Don't worry, mother, I'm still waiting for you to give me a little brother!" Jiang Yingli pretended to be a relaxed joke.

"Okay, it's not early, I've been here for a day, and it won't be proper if I don't go back, you're in the palace, be careful."

Jiang Yingli can't, the palace rules are like this, she can't change them, she can only reluctantly send Mrs. Hou out.

It was night, and the hall was noisy.

I only heard the anxious voices of several palace maids beside the concubine Niangniang.

What's going on?

At this time, Jin Yan came in and told her, "After the concubine Niangniang rested at night, her chest was unbearable, she vomited whatever she ate, and she couldn't even take medicine." ”
