And Lan Yi only sneered in her heart, thinking that even if Pei Miaoqing turned the sky upside down, she was just a concubine, not that she looked down on this identity, there were naturally good concubines, and the concubines were not all perfect people, but the heavenly family etiquette was so strict, the three princes and the four princes, one was the only son of the current queen, and the other was the second son of the favored concubine Ying, if she married a concubine as a concubine, then the sun rose in the west.

Second Miss Pei Miaoqing heard this, lowered her head and covered her lips, "Miaoyun, eat well, who can tell you what will happen in the future, I have only met the princes once or twice." Although a few words were spoken, it was nothing. ”

Pei Miaoyun held her, "After just a few words, I saw the second prince and the fourth prince smiling, and they all had blue eyes for the second sister, which shows that the second sister is the one who was born to be the princess." But I'm afraid, some people have bad words on them, which will drag the second sister back. ”

Pei Miaoqing hurriedly said: "Those gossips about the eldest sister outside, our daughters can't tell anything from them, so we can only try not to listen to them, just treat it as if it doesn't exist." When the eldest sister heard it, she felt uncomfortable, so let's stop mentioning it. ”

Having said that, the faint smugness on his face could be seen at a glance.

However, in recent years, these two sisters have the upper hand in words, one is straightforward, the other is pretending to be generous, and they can sing a good show on a stage. Lan Yi has completely understood a truth from the anger at the beginning to the calm now, that is, a few words, it doesn't hurt or itch, it really doesn't matter, the important thing is to get some real benefits in your hands.

Relying on this attitude of not fighting or grabbing her own identity, even if her father has been being blown by Aunt Bai and Aunt Leng to say that she is not good, he has never really given up on her.

In this mansion, it is still Master Pei Guipei who is really useful to speak, he does not give up Lan Yi, and no matter how snobbish the people in the mansion are, they dare not practice the eldest lady on the bright side.

Lan Yi buried himself in eating.

However, Wan Yin and Wan Yu kissed her, and before going out, her mother also told Lan Yi that she was her sister's only child, and she had to protect Lan Yi no matter what, and she would be good to Lan Yi no matter what, hearing these words, Wan Yin was indignant in her heart but she hadn't thought about how to stand up for Lan Yi, Wan Yu had already opened her mouth with a smile.

"Sister, we haven't been in the capital for a long time, and I can't remember many things. When the eldest prince and the second prince went out of the palace to build a mansion, they respectively crowned King Su and King Qi, I forgot, Princess Su and Princess Qi, whose daughters are they? ”

Wan Yin didn't know what she meant, but her sister's mind had always been brighter than herself, so she replied along the way: "Princess Su Song is the second daughter of Song University Scholar, and as for Princess Qi Xiao is the granddaughter of Hubu Shangshu." Previously, we had a relationship with Princess Qi in the Shangyuan Festival, she was gentle and amiable, did you forget? ”

Wanyu said with a smile: "Oh, when Sister mentioned this, I remembered that Princess Su and Princess Qi are both serious daughters, it seems that the prince's choice of concubine also depends on his identity. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lan Yi laughed out loud on the side, looked at Pei Miaoyun thoughtfully, and said, "So what the third sister said just now was deliberately poking the second sister's heart?" Why bother. ”

Originally, she didn't plan to deal with these two people, but now that someone is standing up for her, if she is still depressed there, she will be sorry for her cousin.

Wan Yin never quarrels with others, and at the moment she is in someone else's house, and when she heard that her sister made a detour, her face turned red, of course, she would not take back what she said, after all, she was her sister, and she was going to protect Lan Yi.

And Wanyu is lively, and she is the pearl of the palm of thousands of pets, so she doesn't care about this, and talks other gossip with Lan Yi with a smile.

Pei Miaoyun was squeezed by a good meal, and she was so angry that she couldn't eat a meal, so she put down her chopsticks and said angrily that she was full.

Pei Miaoqing's face is not good-looking, but she, like Aunt Bai, is a master who can endure, and she is well educated on weekdays, and at the moment she is trying to keep her face unchanged and pretend not to care, but she is riveted in her heart, thinking that others look down on her because of her status, she wants to fight for a breath.

Aunt Bai saw that her daughter was deflated, so she made a round, "It's cold now, and after eating, I have a few words to tell you, and after you finish speaking, go back to rest early, so as not to get frostbite." ”

At the end of the meal, there was no turmoil, but Aunt Bai would not let Lan Yi be so proud, as soon as she removed the table, she said very seriously: "Lan Yi, it stands to reason that I am an aunt, and I shouldn't say this to you, but Pei Fu is now serious and I am in charge, and the master also said that I am half a mother, so I still have to talk to you well." ”

Lan Yi said lightly: "Auntie, let's say it directly." ”

Aunt Bai cages the stove, "Before in front of Ying Guifei Niangniang, you said 'Concubine Ying is not a concubine', it has been spread throughout the capital to know, Ying Guifei Niangniang is generous, do not care with you, but now that the fifth prince has just died, the mood of the mother may not be as before, a month and a half after the palace set up a banquet for Chinese New Year's Eve, the daughter of the official family of the right age will also go, you must admit your mistake to the mother." ”

Seeing Lan Yi bow her head and be silent, Aunt Bai continued, "Another one, the princes in the palace grew up reading sage books, and they don't like arrogant and frivolous women, although your previous actions are not enough for these four words, but they are also too lively, if you are really elected as the princess, I am afraid that the future will not be easy." ”

She spoke seriously, leaned forward, and really looked like an elder, "I treat you as my own child, so I said such intimate words to you, Lan Yi, you are the heart of the master, and you are the only blood left in this world by the lady, marrying the princes will be wronged, and they, together with me, will be distressed." If you don't want to marry any prince, tell your aunt that she wants you to avoid it. ”

The expression on Lan Yi's face was slightly touched at this time, but obviously this touch was not moving, but the unhappiness of mentioning the deceased mother. What she said was not good, "My aunt has such a great ability, and she can even put her beak in such a thing as choosing a princess?" ”

Aunt Bai didn't do much, Pei Miaoyun stood up first, "Eldest sister, Aunt Bai is everywhere for you, why are you talking to her like this?" ”

Lan Yi didn't raise his eyelids. Yes, she doesn't want to marry into the royal family, but it doesn't mean that she hopes Pei Miaoqing or Pei Miaoyun can marry in, the death of her mother and younger brother is still deep in her memory, although on the surface, the cause of their death is so normal, but Lan Yi is dead-eyed, and she just doesn't believe that no one harms them here.

Any one of the two concubines marrying into the royal family, for Lan Yi, is an obstacle to investigating the truth of the death of her relatives, she understands what Aunt Bai means as soon as she hears it, avoiding this kind of thing is nothing more than using illness, and then finding other ladies in Pei Mansion to replace her, maybe Pei Miaoqing will be chosen at that time, and for the sake of a famous concubine, Aunt Bai will be corrected, so what Lan Yi wants to do in the future will be even more difficult.

Aunt Bai stopped Miaoyun and was quite patient, "Lan Yi, if you want to compete for the position of the princess, that's right, but in this room, I have to talk about it - the death of the fifth prince was because the horse that the third prince picked for him was not good, and the beast was frightened and turned the five princes upside down and killed him." I heard that the emperor had already reprimanded the queen mother in front of many palace people today, and he didn't hide it at all. The girls of our family, no matter what, should not have anything to do with the third prince. ”

She turned her head and looked at Wanyin Wanyu, "The two cousins are too, although the third prince is a son-in-law, he must not have too much contact." Our lord and Fang Mansion have always been watching and helping each other, but don't lose everything because of the three princes. ”

This is the purpose of calling them over, and the so-called care for Lan Yi in front of him is just pushing the boat down the river.

Fang Wanyin was outside, representing the Fang Mansion, and others were concerned, so she naturally had to stand up and say a few polite words, "Thank you aunt for mentioning it, my sister and I will remember it." ”

It was said that Wanyu should stand up and follow her sister at this time, but Lan Yi saw her in a daze in a blink of an eye.

My cousin seems to have something on her mind.

Lan Yi was making up her mind to ask her later, when Xu's mother's voice suddenly came from outside, "The master is here." ”

The girls hurriedly stood up, and Aunt Bai was also in a solemn state, and greeted her with a smile on her face.

Bingbu Langzhong is just a five-grade official, in the huge capital, such an official is a lot of them, but Pei Gui is different.

Pei Gui's father was a person who had gone through two dynasties, and when the current saint ascended the throne, Master Pei also supported him with all his might, so that his throne could sit firmly and steadily. When Mr. Pei was alive, his son did not take good care of it, and his efforts for more than ten years were all devoted to the government and politics, and he dedicated his loyalty to the Dashun Dynasty and the saint. It is said that when the old man died, in addition to expressing his own condolences, the saint also shed a few tears.

Therefore, colleagues in the DPRK and China all know in their hearts that his son Pei Gui will not stop at a small soldier Langzhong, and now the left squire of the military department is very old, and he will return to his hometown in a few years.

After Pei Gui returned from the court, he explained a few words to Aunt Bai and threw himself into the study, which was the most sore time of the day, but fortunately, the concubine smiled gently and steadily, and immediately let him know that everything was explained. He let out a long sigh of relief and took the throne.

The girls stood aside.

Lan Yi saw this scene, her heart was not a taste, at this age, her mind had already opened, she knew that her mother was bad because she did not have this tacit understanding with her father, she cared too much about whether she was the only person in Pei Gui's heart, and her father was not a man who was very good at thinking about others, he was busy all day, and he just wanted to be with people who knew cold and hot.

The snub that made the mother depressed, the father may not have realized that it was given by himself.

In fact, for Lan Yi, the women of the Dashun Dynasty are enough to bear just those three obedience and four virtues, and thinking of ways to make themselves freer, healthier, and live longer is the most important thing.

Aunt Bai brought him tea and water, and said softly: "The master is done, have you eaten?" ”

Pei Gui nodded, took the tea cup in her hand, "I've eaten it." Yaoqing, you are also busy all day, sit down, I will say a few words to them and leave. ”

With just a thoughtful word, Aunt Bai's face lit up, and she answered and sat down under Pei Gui.

Lan Yi lowered her head, the toes in her skirt rubbed lightly on the ground, and she heard her father say sternly on top: "The stakes of these things, I think Aunt Bai has already told everyone, none of our three girls in Pei Mansion can take a step forward, if they are really involved with some people, it will ruin the future of everyone in Pei Mansion, and ...... at worst."

In the end, when it comes to the royal family, many words can't be said so clearly, Pei Gui just paused, and said something else, "The two cousins are too, your father wrote to me in a special letter, asking you to avoid this time as much as possible, if you can't avoid it, you also have to please Concubine Ying more like it." ”

Wan Yin hurriedly stepped forward to reply, "My sister and I remember the words of my uncle and father. ”

Wanyu's face was very pale, and her body trembled slightly, and she was pushed by her sister before she realized it: "Uncle, I know." ”

Pei Gui was careless, not to mention that it was not his daughter, it was not good to be too close, so he just glanced at it, "um", he didn't think much about it, but he swept it over, and when he saw the eldest daughter who was not angry, the troubles of the day came up again, and he glared and said, "Lan Yi, you come here." ”

Pei Lanyi hung her head in frustration, thinking that she had been hiding like this, but she was still caught by her father, rubbed it for a while, and finally stood out and whispered, "Daddy." ”

Pei Gui sneered, "You still have my father in your heart?" And this home? You offended Concubine Ying with one sentence. I heard that in front of the ladies and princes, you often speak wildly, either that you disdain to learn needlework, or that you read a lot of books, and you can even read the art of war. Why, do you think you can turn the sky upside down? Let me ask you, is it decent for you, a girl who has not yet been out of the cabinet, to say such things with such a mouth? Where did you put your face when you said that?! ”

This is a serious matter, but Lan Yi has not been scolded like this for so many years, and when Pei Miaoqing and Pei Miaoyun squeezed her and made her ugly in front of outsiders, Pei Gui also reprimanded her so fiercely.

Wan Yin was frightened, but in front of someone else's family, an elder she was not very familiar with, she didn't know what to say, so she could only hold the handkerchief tightly. And Pei Gui saw Lan Yi pursing his lips and not answering, his heart was even more angry, and he slapped it on the table, "I'll ask you!" ”

Pei Miaoyun gloated, and was just about to stand up and add two sentences, Lan Yi opened her mouth and said quite calmly: "Back to my father's words, my face is all on my neck, if I put it elsewhere, my daughter will be separated, and she should die." ”

Pei Gui was stunned, everyone was stunned, no one expected that when the other party was so angry, Lan Yi would dare to answer like this.
