The queen comforted herself in her heart, and it was fortunate that the emperor gave her daughter and Jun Ran a marriage, and now that her daughter is married to Jun Ran, how can Jian Wangfu stand on her side and the four princes.

If Jun Ran can return from a big victory this time, then King Jian's Mansion will definitely be able to go to the next level, and it is not impossible to take over the Geng family's Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it will definitely become the help of the four princes.

The sound of the piano became more and more agitated, as if there were hundreds of birds around them fluttering their wings at the same time, flying over the blue sky......

Then, the sound of the piano gradually soothed again.

Today's flower-viewing banquet ended halfway through the hour, and the girls left the palace one by one.

The next day, the queen sent two groups of people out of the palace, one group of people went to the Cheng'en Mansion, bluntly said that the queen chose Xie Liu's girl Xie Xiangling as the concubine of the four princes, and the other group of people went to the Zheng family and the Zhang family respectively, implying that Xu Yi was the side concubine of the four princes.

Due to the emperor's serious illness, the empress could not make an edict, so she could only tell the three families her intentions in an explicit and implicit way.

Not to mention the Zheng family and the Zhang family, the Chengen Mansion was so happy that it exploded.

"Walk slowly." Duchess Chengen instructed Mrs. Shizi to personally send away Mama Jin, who came to deliver the message for the queen.

Rao was mentally prepared, and the people in the room were still enthusiastic because of this good news.

Mrs. Xie said in a trembling voice: "Our Xie family is ...... again It's going to ...... again, "There's a queen!"

She didn't dare to say what she said later, after all, the fourth prince is not even the crown prince now, but everyone else in the room knows it.

The family's hearts were finally settled at this moment, filled with a kind of joy that the dust had settled.

"Sister Ling, that's great......" Mrs. Xie happily pulled her granddaughter's soft twing, and refused to let go.

Xie Xiangling bit his lower lip slightly, and a faint flush appeared on his jade-like delicate cheeks, which was delicate and lovely.

Her eyes were half-lowered, her eyes were shining, and her heart was like a drum.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One jumped faster than the other, and one jumped louder than the other.

Now that the emperor has been unconscious, she happened to hear her father and mother mention that the possibility that the emperor can wake up again is probably less than three percent.

The position of the new emperor should only be chosen between the eldest prince and the four princes, and the eldest prince is still far away in the south, the four princes are close at hand, and there is the support of the queen and their Xie family, once the emperor dies, then it is natural for the four princes to ascend the throne.

At that time, she will be the queen of a country, the most noble woman in the world.

All the women and nobles will bend their knees in front of themselves as if they were kneeling in front of their aunts, and bow three times and nine times...... also includes the Duanmu Scarlet who has no one in his eyes.

When she was born, her mother told her fortune, saying that she was blessed with five blessings and surrounded by purple energy, and that her life would be smooth sailing.

Over the years, her life has been considered to have fulfilled this sentence, and it has been smooth sailing until she came to the capital, but she was suppressed by Duanmufei.

Xie Xiangling's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think of the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Qianya Garden, where the emperor praised Duanmu Fei;

remembered that at the condensation meeting she convened a few days ago, those people still mentioned Duanmu Fei in their mouths, and they only praised her as if she were the first noble girl in the capital, and she only questioned one or two sentences euphemistically, and some people simply left early under the pretext of having something.

This is clearly a slap in the face in public?!

In the future, it will not be like this again......

She will stand on a high place, looking down on all beings.

The corners of Xie Xiangling's mouth curved, that fortune teller was really accurate, she was really surrounded by purple qi, isn't this "purple qi" dragon qi?!

Duchess Cheng'en said to Mrs. Xie and Cheng'en Gong with a smile: "Mother, Grandpa Guo, this is a great joy, I want to add a month's monthly money to the whole house, plus an autumn coat." ”

Mrs. Xie didn't have the heart to pay attention to these little things, and said casually: "You can just call the shots for this kind of thing." ”

Duchess Chengen replied with a smile.

These days, Duchess Chengen enters the palace from time to time, and she has a plan, one of the purposes is the matter of the four princesses.

Cheng'en Mansion is the queen's maiden family, and it will naturally stand on the queen's side, but the fourth prince Mu Youyi is not born to the queen, there is no blood of the Xie family, if the fourth prince ascends the throne in the future, relying on the queen's adoptive mother alone, there is no guarantee for the Xie family, after all, even if the eldest prince or other princes ascend the throne, Queen Xie will also be the future queen mother, as long as the new emperor still has a reputation and does not want to be criticized, he must be filial to the queen mother.

Therefore, if the Xie family wants to maintain a stronger relationship with the new emperor, then letting a Xie family's concubine become the next empress is the best way.

However, the queen has been a little hesitant about this, thinking that she still thinks that the fourth prince is not her own, but fortunately, the queen finally figured it out, and this matter was finally decided.

Duchess Chengen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still felt a little regretful in her heart.

Hey, it's a pity that Xie Xiangling is in the next room, and he doesn't have a daughter of the right age under his knees, so he can only let the second room take advantage of this big advantage.

At this time, Mrs. Xie finally let go of Xie Xiangling and said to her and a few juniors, "...... Let's get out of here. ”

After a few juniors left, only Mrs. Xie, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng En, and Mr. and Mrs. Xie in the second room were left in the hall.

Second Master Xie said to Cheng Engong with some eagerness: "Big brother, the next thing is to find a way to make the fourth prince regent." ”

Cheng Engong stroked his beard slowly, his expression gradually became solemn, and he muttered: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, Cen Yin, a eunuch who is arbitrary, I am afraid it is not so easy to let go." ”

Duchess Chengen pursed her lips disdainfully, "Hmph, how can this Dasheng Jiangshan be controlled by Cen Yin, a eunuch!" ”

"Big brother, all the civil and military officials in the court are afraid of Cen Yin like a tiger, I'm afraid it will not be easy to start from them." Second Master Xie thought for a while and proposed, "Big brother, the scholars are the most ambitious, and they must oppose the eunuchs controlling the government, do you want to start with those scholars?" ”

Cheng Engong showed a deep expression on his face, and said: "Listen to the meaning of Mama Jin, the queen also chose the Zhang family and the Zheng family as the concubines of the four princes, this Huaibei Zhang family is one of the four major families, although it is not as good as the Chu family in Shilin, but it is also quite prestigious, if the Zhang family is willing to help the four princes......

The eyes of Second Master Xie and the others lit up immediately, as if clusters of flames had been ignited, and they were blazing.

Outside the hall, gusts of autumn wind blow from time to time, the bamboo forest outside dances with the wind, and the swaying bamboo leaves make a subtle "rustling" sound, suppressing the discussion in the hall......

Under the deliberate momentum of the Cheng'en Mansion, the queen's intention to Xie Xiangling as the fourth princess was publicized in Beijing within two days, and there were rumors that the Cheng'en Mansion was going to produce two queens, which was the first honor in Dasheng for more than 100 years, and it was spread loudly, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it.

Even the cicada who went out to buy a preserved fruit heard about it, and when he returned home, he told Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun what he heard outside with a smile:

"Fourth girl, now people outside say that the queen mother chose the sixth girl of the Xie family as the fourth princess."

"Also, the fourth prince is about to become the crown prince, and the Xie family is about to have a second queen."

"By the way, it is said that the third girl of the Pingyang Hou Mansion and the fifth girl of the Zhang family are designated as the side concubines of the fourth prince."

Duanmu Fei originally just listened to it casually as a royal anecdote, and didn't care who the future fourth princess was, but she didn't expect her little cousin of the Zhang family to be taken by the queen, and she was also a concubine for the four princes.

"......" Duanmu frowned, and the tea in his mouth almost didn't squirt out.

Duanmu swallowed the tea in his mouth and asked, "The queen mother shouldn't have made a decree yet, right?" ”

Bi Chan nodded in response.

Duanmu raised his hand and gently rubbed it on the embossing pattern on the tea cup, not surprised by Bi Cicada's answer.

The emperor is now seriously ill, even if the queen chooses the candidates for the main concubine and the side concubine for the four princes, there is a chance that she will not make a clear decree for the time being, after all, the emperor is not dead, and the queen has no full authority to decide the marriage of the four princes.

However, the queen allowed the Cheng'en Mansion to "deliberately" spread the matter in Beijing so eagerly, and her selfishness was obvious.

Imagine, when the other mansions heard that the Zheng family and the Zhang family girl were designated by the queen as the future concubines of the four princes, they naturally did not dare to come to the door to propose marriage, so the Zheng family and the Zhang family could only "passively" get on the ship of the four princes.

That is to say, the queen did not make up her mind with the Zhang and Zheng families in this matter, and the Chengen Mansion would choose to use this way to force the Zhang and Zheng families to admit their relatives!

Duanmu frowned slightly, and a hint of innocence flashed in his dark eyes.

Although the Zhang family is not like the Chu family, there is a rule that "Chu women do not enter the palace", but the Zhang family is also one of the four major families, and it is a century-old hairpin family.

Duanmujun put down the embroidered bandage in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

She knew that Duanmu Fei and Zhang Lan, the fifth girl of the Zhang family, got along well, so she casually comforted: "Zhen Zhen, if you want to come to the Zhang family, you won't just swallow your anger." ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Jun frowned, Mingyan's face was a little speechless, he shook his head and sighed, "...... Has the queen been too ostentatious lately? ”

Since the emperor fell seriously ill and fell into a coma, it has only been a few days, and the queen has done a lot of things, one moment to let the four princes supervise the court, one moment to say that she wants to hang the curtain to listen to the government, and another time to choose a concubine for the four princes......

"......" Duanmu Fei nodded silently, turned his face sideways to the window, looked at the pots of purple and red autumn chrysanthemums in the courtyard outside, and his eyes froze on one of the pots of "Phoenix Zhenyu".

In the eyes of outsiders, the queen is the most noble woman in the world, one person is above ten thousand, but that is just the scenery outside.

Empress Xie has no children, she only has a daughter of Wuyang under her knees, and her relationship with the emperor is not deep, for many years, without the emperor's support, many concubines in the palace actually did not put the queen in their eyes, and this queen was very aggrieved. Now that the emperor is sick and the queen mother is no longer alive, finally no one has suppressed the queen, so the queen no longer "endures".

She remembered that Wuyang had sighed with her before, saying that her mother was a soft-eared person, and if others said a few more words, they would be used as gunmen.

I don't know if this matter is the meaning of the queen or the meaning of the Chengen Mansion.

It's a pity that Wuyang is guarding filial piety and can't enter the palace......

As soon as the wind blew, the brightly colored "Phoenix Zhenyu" swayed with the wind.

Duanmu Fei stared at the pot of "Phoenix Zhenyu", his face was thoughtful, and Duanmu Jun's disapproving voice came from his ears: "Also, this Cheng'en Mansion has been jumping up and down recently, it's really not good." ”

Duanmufei felt that Duanmujun meant something when he heard Duanmujun's words, looked at Duanmujun curiously, and asked, "Sister, but what happened?" ”

Duanmujun didn't want to say much, but when her sister asked, she also said: "Recently, there have been a lot of refugees in Gyeonggi, early the day before yesterday, I arranged for the people in the house to give porridge outside the West City Gate, and in less than half a day, the Cheng'en Mansion also set up a tea shed for soup soup next to it, and each person in my family gave one bowl of porridge, and their family gave two bowls." ”

Duanmu Jun said, shaking his head with some sarcasm.

Giving porridge to the homeless and poor is a good deed, and it is not used to compare it with other families.

"......" Duanmu shook his head when he heard this, dumbfounded.

For the queen's maiden family, the Xie family, Duanmufei still knows something. The Xie family is not prominent, also because after ascending the throne today, the Xie family has been awarded a Cheng'en Gong as usual.

But in the past ten years, because the emperor is not interested in the queen, and the queen has no children, the Chengen Mansion has not been mixed.

Until now, the emperor is seriously ill, and the Xie family is afraid that the opportunity has finally come, and this time it has gained momentum, and it is a little public.

The problem is that the Xie family just thinks they are "in power", and they don't know anything about the real situation now......

Duanmu Fei's mind couldn't help but have a pair of phoenix eyes as bright and deep as cold stars, his eyes flashed slightly, and he almost sympathized with the Xie family in his heart.

Duanmu Jun picked up the embroidered bandage again, and said: "Our Duanmu family has a noble concubine and a prince, I'm afraid it has become a thorn in the side of the Chengen Mansion...... It's endless. ”

She originally planned to continue embroidering, but when she picked up the embroidered bandage again, she felt that the unicorn eyes she embroidered were too rigid.

Duanmujun dismantled the embroidered unicorn eyes little by little, and pondered in her heart: The difficulty of the unicorn seems to be too high, or she should first ask Ji Lanzhou for instructions on how to embroider the crested ibis and practice her hands.

Duanmufei heard a little deep meaning from the sentence "endless" that Duanmujun said, and felt ridiculous.

The Chengen Mansion wanted to fight with the Duanmu family, so that everyone in Beijing could see that the Duanmu family was suppressed by their Chengen Mansion.

"Sister, is there a follow-up to the Xie family?" Duanmu asked with interest.

Duanmu Jun slowly dismantled the Qilin's eyes, and said with a smile: "I simply asked the doctor of Jishitang to go to the city gate to give people free treatment and medicine. The Xie family also learned. ”

For those homeless people, getting porridge and being able to see a doctor is the most affordable, and Duanmujun is too lazy to spend time with the Xie family about these things.

Duanmu bent the corners of his lips, almost not laughing.

Wonderful!

Sister, this idea is wonderful!

Her sister has always hated this kind of conspiracy, and only uses yang schemes, and clowns like Cheng'en Mansion can't please her sister at all.

"Sister, what are you embroidering?" Duanmu Fei saw that Duanmu was embroidering for a while and dismantling it for a while, so he was aroused and leaned over to see it.

Bang bang! Duanmujun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, for fear that her sister would ask her if she wanted to marry Cen Gongzi again, so she hurriedly stuffed the embroidery bandage in her hand into the embroidery basket, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I've been asking Lan Zhou to guide me to embroider recently...... Zhenzhen, do you want to come with me too? Duanmu Jun asked deliberately.

Embroidery or something, bothersome, and eye-catching, Duanmu Fei is really lacking in interest.

lest my sister would turn the topic to embroidering the dowry as she spoke, she showed an innocent and lovely smile and changed the topic with a smile: "Sister, embroidering hurts your eyes for a long time, you rest for a while, I'll play backgammon with you, okay?" ”

Duanmu Jun couldn't wait to immediately change the topic away from the embroidery, and responded with kindness, feeling relieved.

She got up with a smile and said, "Zhen Zhen, then you let me have three sons?" ”

"Okay." Duanmufei nodded neatly, and the sisters moved to the window and sat down.

Bi Chan hurriedly prepared a chessboard and chess pieces for the two girls, and put on the preserved fruits and candied fruits that she had just bought from outside.

Duanmu squinted with sweet and sour preserved fruit and squinted in satisfaction.

The window was breezy, and the weather had become more and more comfortable recently, and the little fox who was lying on his stomach in the treetops ran over quickly and skillfully climbed up Duanmufei's knees, making Duanmufei a little flattered.

A few days ago, the weather was hot, and the little fox wilted every day, and no one would pay attention to it, so he knew that he was buried in his sleep, and he was alive again in the past few days.

Duanmu Fei touched the little fox with one hand, and picked up a white piece with the other hand and landed on the chessboard, feeling that life was too complete, and it was almost ......

Something seems to be missing.

What the hell is it?!

Duanmu Fei pondered hard, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, the white son was as white as a fox, and the sunspot was as black as ink.

Yes! That's right!

Duanmu Fei flashed and blurted out: "Little Eight! ”

It's been almost a month since Hachi ran away from home, right? She's completely forgotten about it these days.

Duanmu Fei felt a little weak in his heart, and comforted himself: It's all that stupid bird is not good! Always running away from home! It's like a dumpling, how well-behaved!

The little fox who was originally squinting and resting on Duanmu's knees heard the name of the little starling, Huo Di opened his eyes and looked around.

Duanmujun's right hand trembled slightly, and a sunspot that had just been picked up between his middle finger and index finger fell back into the chess box with a "pop".

Her eyes fluttered slightly, and she really couldn't understand why this topic was inexplicably about to go around Cen Yin. My sister's train of thought is too out-of-the-box!

Duanmu Fei heard the sound of the chess pieces falling into the chess box, came back to her senses, and originally wanted to propose whether to send someone to Cen Mansion to greet her, however, Duanmu Fei did not give her this opportunity at all, and bluntly changed the topic again: "Strange? Why hasn't the batch of medicinal herbs and spices in Jiangnan arrived yet? Steward Chen wrote to him before that he should be able to arrive the day before yesterday. ”

"Otherwise, I'd better ask my grandfather to ask a few people to pick up Steward Chen......

Duanmu Jun said as he casually picked up another sunspot and landed on the chessboard.

On the wooden chessboard, it was empty, and at the moment there were just a few chess pieces placed in twos and threes.

Duanmu Fei looked at Duanmu Jun in front of her, who was just separated from her by a small chessboard.

At this moment, there was a messy footstep outside, and then, the Xiangfei curtain was raised from the outside, and Wisteria came in quickly, and said hurriedly: "Big girl, fourth girl, Mama Jin is here again, saying that she wants to pass on the queen's message to the big girl." ”

Wisteria's expression was subtle, with a little worry.

Last time, the eldest girl didn't go to the flower banquet in the palace, and she refuted the face of the queen and Mama Jin, thinking that she had offended the queen, and this time Mama Jin was afraid that the person who came was not good.

Duanmu Jun was panicked by Duanmu Fei, and when he heard Wisteria say this, he breathed a sigh of relief: It's just in time!

This interruption of my sister will definitely forget about Cen Gongzi and Xiaoba.

Duanmujun almost couldn't wait to stand up, and his body hit the chessboard, and the five or six chess pieces on the chessboard were knocked down at once, and the round chess pieces rolled to the ground on the bluestone brick floor......

The little fox jumped down from Duanmufei's knee and happily chased the chess pieces.

There was silence in the room.

Duanmu Jun was dumbfounded, and a rare embarrassment appeared on his delicate and bright face.

Odd?! Duanmu looked at the black and white chess pieces rolling on the ground stupidly and blinked, always feeling that this scene was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...... Where is it?

Duanmu Fei pinched his chin with his right hand, meditating hard.

It was rare for Wisteria to see the big girl who acted steadily so "helpless", and when she saw the fourth girl's cautious demeanor, her heart sank, and she cautiously asked: "Big girl, do you want to send someone to call the old lady?" ”

Grandfather please?! Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei came back to their senses, their faces were surprised, and they thought to themselves: Why do you want to invite grandfather?

"No need." Duanmu straightened his clothes and asked, "What about people?" ”

"People are invited to the True Fun Hall first." Wisteria replied immediately.

Although Duanmujun said that there was no need to inform the old lady, Mama Zhang was still a little worried, the queen was the queen after all, she thought about it, and quietly recruited a little maid and asked her to go to the household yamen to find the old lady.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Duanmu Fei said smoothly, and glanced at the little fox who was playing chess pieces on the ground, and said secretly: Where have you seen it?

The two sisters left the Zhanqing Courtyard together and went to the True Fun Hall at the front of the inner courtyard.

At this moment, the sky is bright, and along the way, the air is filled with the smell of chrysanthemum and cinnamon, and autumn is strong.

From afar, they saw a woman in her forties sitting upright in the main hall, dressed in a rust-colored brocade gown, a ginger horse-faced skirt, her jet-black hair neatly combed into a bun, her body was slightly plump, her skin was fair, her posture was elegant and dignified, and she was a little capable and arrogant.

If you don't know, you still think that this is the head of the house.

The right-hand man beside this queen mother is not an ordinary small family that can be compared with it.

Mama Jin in the main hall also saw the two sisters, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, and raised her chin arrogantly.

Looking at the two sisters, Mama Jin inevitably remembered the last time she came here, the two sisters treated her with contempt, and the chamberlain dragged her away in that way in order to please Duanmufei, making her lose face.

Of course, this account can't just be settled!

Didn't the Duanmu family say last time that she didn't have the queen's decree?!

This time she came with the Queen's dictation.

Mama Jin raised her eyes and casually glanced between the two sisters, her eyes mocking.

She had long looked at the two girls of the Duanmu family who were not pleasing to the eye.

This fatherless and motherless orphan girl is unruly and uneducated, especially the small one, who is used to becoming inflammatory, and at the beginning the fourth princess didn't look down on her, so she desperately slammed their eldest princess, which opened up the situation in the circle of noble girls in Beijing and became a talented woman praised by everyone.

If this is an ordinary girl's family, she should be content to come to this point.

However, this Duanmu Fourth Girl has a heart higher than the sky, and after that, she didn't know what means she used, so she actually slammed Cen Yin again, and made Cen Yin recognize her as a righteous sister.

This Duanmu Fourth Girl is really a shrewd human spirit who is more shrewd than a fox spirit, left and right, tending to be inflammatory, and after all these years, she actually coaxed Cen Yin and the eldest princess to be obedient.

It's a pity, there is a sentence behind this "heart is higher than the sky" is "life is thinner than paper", no matter how she clings, she just has such an unbearable marriage, and the mud can't support the wall.

As for the big one......

Mama Jin's gaze fell on Duanmujun's bright face again.

------Off topic------

Well, I'll add more tomorrow.
