The government and the opposition have not stopped discussing the matter of holding a draft ceremony that has been suspended for many years from Concubine Jing instead of the queen, and the biological mother of King Qi Wan Xuanzhi was named Concubine Xian, and his father Wan Chenshan was also promoted to the Duke of Chengguo, and was given the title of Zuo Zhuguo.

The Chengguo Mansion and the Qi Palace's Mansion were naturally jubilant, and Wanmen immediately organized a banquet to praise grace and virtue, so they sent a wide invitation post - this is the grace given by Emperor Hongfu, and took this opportunity to feast not only will not anger the emperor, but express gratitude to the emperor.

After returning to spring, he received an invitation from the Chengguo Mansion.

The third lady is quite willing to work for her, and attends this kind of boring and boring banquet for her, and maybe there is also a wine banquet with verbal and intriguing opinions, and even the excuse is found for Chungui: "Although even the market portal knows that Lan Ting is the young head of the Xuanzhuo Hall now, but the big family in Beijing also knows that you are still young, and it is indeed a little uncommon to socialize with the officials and relatives who have grown up for one or even two generations. ”

"The third uncle and aunt love me, knowing that I am impatient with this kind of occasion and want to block this entertainment for me, how can I not appreciate it? But this time I really didn't want to prevaricate. Chungui took the arm of the third lady and rubbed it on her like a coquettish rub, and looked up with a smiling face: "In today's situation, everyone can see that the King of Qi, the King of Qin and the King of Zhou are competing for the throne, and the emperor is more willing to choose the prince from the three princes who have been married and established a mansion, whether it is the personal relationship between the uncle and His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, or the Duke of Jin and our family as relatives, no matter what the emperor thinks, in short, in the eyes of the King of Qi and the Duke of Cheng, the auxiliary of Xuan Zhutang must be the King of Zhou, and they specially sent the invitation to me, which means to declare war." If I dook, will I not be timid? This is not an ordinary entertainment, how can you be lazy. ”

"It's the same reason, I'm thinking too simply."

"But I'm young, and I can't help but have two uncles and aunts around me." Spring return is high-spirited.

Of course, the original intention of Emperor Hongfu is to avoid the battle between the walls and the fratricide, so whether it is the King of Qin or the King of Zhou, he will also be happy to go to the invitation, so as not to show that he and the King of Qi are already incompatible, and you are talking to the death.

In the late spring, the garden of the Chengguo Mansion is still fragrant and lush, Princess Qi rushed over early, she is not only a distinguished guest, but also a granddaughter-in-law, it is reasonable to help the female relatives of the Chengguo Mansion to accompany the guests, and specially invited her cousin Xu to come to the Chengguo Mansion earlier, I heard that Princess Zhou and Gu Yiren came together, Princess Qi and Xu will inevitably go to accompany and laugh.

As soon as the Duchess of Chengguo saw the face of the spring return, she launched an offensive to hide needles in Mianli.

"I heard that the lady of your mansion has been infected with a cold since the New Year, and she has not improved yet? How so? People of our generation often talk about your wife, but they all envy her for her wealth, and her body and bones are really healthy. Who knew that because of this illness, he couldn't even go out. "It's like if an old lady were in good health, she would be right to come to the banquet today.

Mrs. Zhao died of illness, the old lady

It is a widow, and if she wants to set up a banquet at her own house, she can come forward to drink and talk with relatives and friends, but she can't go to other people's banquets, and the Duchess of Chengguo said this, but she didn't seriously regret the absence of Mrs. Zhao Jiatai, it was nothing more than to use this excuse to slander the Lanting husband and wife for being unfilial.

There was immediately a helper around him - Yuan Ji's old wife Hong.

Mrs. Hong was born in a large family, and her husband is now in the position of second assistant in the cabinet, so she was not a friend of the Duchess of Chengguo in the past, but now that Yuan Ji has decided to assist the King of Qi, Mrs. Hong will naturally be in the same voice as the Duchess of Chengguo, not to mention that Yuan Ji and Xu and Zhao have always been political enemies.

"So like us who are old, the most important thing is to be open-minded, let the children and grandchildren behave, don't think about restraint and obstruction, since the wings of the children and grandchildren are full, can they still tie their wings and prevent them from flying? In the end, they will be complained of being shallow and interfering in foreign affairs, and they will be judged as unkind when they are originally well-intentioned, and they will accumulate anger and resentment in their hearts, where will their bodies and bones be good? ”

Duchess Chengguo hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Hong, this is a joke, who doesn't know that your descendants are the most filial and deferential, and you are enjoying the blessings of your descendants to use these words to chill us." ”

The words are becoming more and more obvious, as if the silver needle has pierced the Mianjin and has revealed its edge.

But they don't mind, in terms of age, they have to grow up and return to the two generations, don't say that there is also a "hidden needle" to pave the way first, even if the sword is directly shown to the juniors, they can only endure it.

"Both ladies are blessed and enviable." Chungui smiled and responded.

Duchess Chengguo couldn't help but be stunned: Is this granddaughter-in-law of Taishi Mansion a useless embroidered pillow, and she can't hear the wit in these words at all?

But of course, Chun Gui's words were not finished, and the smile became sweeter and sweeter: "Grandmother of the younger generation, thank you for the care of the two ladies, the grandmother did suffer some cold when she was in the new year, but her body has already recovered, but if these housework are not close friends, it is inevitable that you don't know the details, and it is reasonable that the two ladies have not heard of it." ”

Whether it is the Chengguo Mansion or the Yuan Pavilion Old Mansion, the relationship between the Taishi Mansion and the Taishi Mansion has never been good, and the return of the Spring Return is to confirm that these two old ladies intend to use gossip to slander the family style of the Taishi Mansion.

Mrs. Hong's eyes suddenly swept through the cold.

But Chungui's counterattack is not over yet: "In particular, what Mrs. Hong said just now makes a lot of sense. My grandmother also had the same idea as Mrs. Hong, that she had always been kind and kind to her younger generations, and had never interfered in foreign affairs, so even though she was affected by her own family, she attracted the slander of gossip in the market, but her grandmother also knew that if she enjoyed comfort, she would inevitably be jealous and hated by others, and she didn't take these ridiculous words to heart at all, not because she was open-minded and could still enjoy blessings for a long time. ”

The old lady at home is not such a temperament, but Chun Gui is determined that the old lady is a loving and benevolent elder, what's the matter? Mrs. Hong still dares to insist that the old lady is not kind and benevolent?

Then the next spring return can be in order to defend the reputation of the old grandmother, and start a theory with Mrs. Hong, regardless of who wins or loses, Heng Zhu Lanting and her will not be charged with unfilial piety.

Mrs. Hong's face was pale

"Gu Yiren really lives up to his reputation, and he is really articulate. ”

"Mrs. Hong has won the prize." Chungui smiled and groaned at all, and there was no modesty.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chengguo Mansion saw that her old lady and Mrs. Hong did not take advantage, so she hurriedly turned around and took Princess Zhou and Chungui to a flower hall for tea and entertainment.

When there was no more idle around him, Mingzhu laughed in a low voice: "Sister's riposte is really beautiful." ”

"No one wants to be separated from each other, so how can my grandson disobey his grandmother? However, my sister also knows about the affairs of my family, and my grandson and I do have helplessness. Compared with those irrelevant outsiders, or even political enemies, Chungui only cares about what Mingzhu will think of Lan Ting and her, you must know that Mingzhu does follow the internal training of etiquette, if according to the so-called etiquette law, Lan Ting's treatment of the old lady is indeed disrespectful, and she is even more completely contrary to the dogma of internal training.

"Of course, I understand the difficulties of my brother-in-law and sister, but I also understand that my brother-in-law and sister are both upright, and the fundamental maintenance of etiquette is black and white, otherwise how can there be a precept of foolishness, loyalty, and filial piety? Even my grandfather sighed, saying that Jiang Gong was cunning, and deceived Wen Chenggong's friendship back then, Wen Zhenggong because of this parent's order, although he saw through Jiang Gong's hypocrisy, but he still respected Mrs. Tai as his wife, in order to avoid the disaster of the family, he left a will to warn the widow not to do whatever she wanted, and the widow was really benevolent and righteous. ”

Lan Ting's great-grandfather Zhao Jing was nicknamed Wencheng, which was the Wencheng Gong as Mingzhu said, and it was indeed his great-grandfather who was deceived by Jiang Chen's disguise, so that he married his eldest son to an old lady...... A daughter-in-law with the potential to mess with the family.

"The old lady's nature is not evil, she is just used by her brother, but she is still ignorant, acting only for the interests of the Jiang family, and her grandson is responsible for the head of the family, so she can only disobey the old lady's wishes...... I heard my grandfather say that my grandfather never decided to break with the Jiang family back then, but in fact, he could still understand the old lady to some extent, after all, if there was no brother who had been sheltering, the old lady would indeed encounter more difficulties and ups and downs due to the harsh abuse of her uncle. ”

However, the Zhao family and the Jiang family are destined to be enemies, and Taishi Zhao is considerate and considerate, how can he watch his family being dragged into the quagmire by the Jiang family and bear the scourge of disloyalty and injustice?

Lan Ting can understand his grandfather's dilemma, and he can also understand the return of spring, so he has a heart-to-heart with Mingzhu.

But although these words avoided the ears and eyes of the Chengguo Mansion, they were heard by Tao Fanglin, who had been pricking up his ears, and secretly wondered at this time: The Gu family is really good at speaking good and obedient, I said how can she win Zhao Lanting's asylum like this, it turns out that she has figured out the details of Zhao Jiang's family early on, and has always been with Zhao Lanting! It's also to blame Empress Shen and Aunt Xiao for hiding me so hard at the beginning, and they never told the Zhu family that there was such a culprit as Zhao Jiang's death! If I hadn't planted my eyes and ears in the Dong family's courtyard, I would still be kept in the dark! In that life, if I had known that Zhao Lanting knew that the culprit who killed his biological mother, why would I be afraid of such a grandmother as Zhao Jiang? If I hadn't been forced to accept Herou as Zhao Lanting's concubine, where would I have tried to eradicate such a! How could Zhao Lanting be separated from me because of gentleness? Let Gu have an opportunity!

Tao Fanglin complained in his heart, and on the surface he was still concerned about waiting for the soup to make tea, and in a blink of an eye......

Belch! The Xu family is actually walking this way with Princess Qi.
