Song Zilan absentmindedly picked up a piece, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she felt a wave of nausea and vomiting hit her. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks, ran quickly into the clean room, and vomited in the dark.

Zhu Xiaoyan looked at her daughter's back and thoughtfully instructed: "Go, prepare a bowl of sour plum soup for the second lady to refresh yourself." ”

After taking a sip of sour plum soup, Song Zilan asked, "Mother, what interesting things did you do when you were young?" My daughter hasn't heard much of you. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan looked at her daughter and said, "You kid, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" It's not that you don't know, my mother was a maid when she was young, unlike you, she was born as a daughter, and my mother doesn't want to mention these past events now, so don't ask. ”

Song Zilan saw that her mother seemed to be wary of herself, and while she was angry, she was inconvenient to ask. immediately said: "It's nothing, my daughter just has nothing to do, so I want to talk to you." By the way, I just saw you doing the accounts, isn't the money income in our house very good recently? ”

"How can you know the income and expenditure of our house? The left and right are just relying on your father's share of money to support our huge family, and if you don't lose money, how can there be any surplus? ”

Song Zilan naturally didn't believe this in her heart, her eyes rolled, and she got up and said, "Mother, I recently dried some lotus seed hearts, and at this time, it is best to use it to make tea." I'm going to make you some to taste? ”

Zhu Xiaoyan didn't want to admit it, but thinking that she still had to count on her daughter's cooking skills to save Song Shi'an's heart, she nodded and said, "Okay, you have a heart." ”

Song Zilan walked to the eaves, took the boiling water handed by the little maid, and quietly added some things to it when making tea. Then he returned to the inner room as if nothing had happened, and continued to sit and gossip with his mother.

After Zhu Xiaoyan drank a cup of tea, he felt some pain in his stomach. She hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm a little sick to my stomach, you sit down for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

After Zhu Xiaoyan took the maid to the clean room, Song Zilan quietly opened the account book she closed. But after a few pages hastily browsed, she resolutely closed the booklet and sneered: "Mother, if you treat me like this, don't blame me for being a daughter." ”

In the afternoon of this day, Zichu made an appointment with Helian Haoran to discuss matters in Helian Mansion. Helian Haoran gave his niece a thumbs up and praised: "Zichu, you can try to get the queen mother to give us such a decree, you are really amazing." ”

Zichu smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the queen would naturally not give us this will in vain. But it was inconvenient for her to tell her uncle the inside story, so she said: "Yes, the queen mother is merciful, this time because I used the rejuvenating cream to help Miss Shangguan eliminate the swelling on her face, the queen mother especially rewarded us for such a dignity." By the way, uncle, are the things sent by Zhu Xiaoyan almost the same? ”

Helian Haoran nodded and said, "Well, it's almost, there are still some bits and pieces of antique toys missing, but in general, the original dowry list is complete, and when we find a suitable opportunity, we will spread this matter out and discipline her, Song Shi'an and the old woman to be ashamed." ”

"Well, that's what you said, uncle. By the way, I heard that the eldest cousin is happy, congratulations, I am about to hold my grandson. ”

Helian Haoran laughed when he heard this, nodded very happily and said, "Yes, if you are not busy walking for a while, you will also go to see your eldest cousin." This is her first child, whether it is a man or a woman, it is a great joy. ”

"Yes, uncle, I also specially prepared some things for my little nephew, and after I went to see my grandmother in a while, I will go to my eldest cousin's place."

Speaking of this, Zichu seemed to suddenly remember, and asked: "By the way, uncle, why don't you see your uncle?" I heard that she was sick a few days ago, but now she is well? ”

Helian Haoran heard his niece ask about his wife, a look of discomfort flashed across his face, and he replied: "Well, your aunt has a little cold, and because she has worked too hard during this time, she invited a few doctors, but she didn't see any improvement." ”

Zichu pretended to say: "Then I'll go and visit my aunt ...... later."

"No, you don't have to, your aunt and uncle have to recuperate. Just go and give your grandmother and sister-in-law, lest you get sick and not be beautiful. ”

When Zichu heard this, he understood that Helian Haoran was already very dissatisfied with Zhen in his heart. It seems that as long as Song Zilan can dig out Zhu Xiaoyan's truth, then whether his mother's death is related to the Zhen family will soon be revealed.

In the East Palace, after the crown princess Zhang folded the secret letter sent to her by the prince Jun Yuzhu, she frowned and said, "It seems that this time the queen and the king are prepared." Shangguan Yuanji actually wanted to marry his daughter to King Ding, so our plan had to be changed. ”

"Mother, what do you mean?"

"You go and pass on my message, invite a few noble daughters in Beijing to come to the back garden of the East Palace to enjoy the flowers, and then deliver a letter to His Royal Highness, so that he must come back once tomorrow afternoon no matter what."

"Yes, sissy."

When Shangguan Wansu received the invitation sent by the crown princess Zhang, she hesitated for a while. She thought about it for a while, and finally took the letter and went to her grandmother's yard to ask Mrs. Luo for advice.

It's just that as soon as her front foot walked, Xiao Luo knew the wind on her back foot. She hated her husband and mother-in-law for never treating herself as the mistress of the general's mansion in her heart, and she hated the stepdaughter left by her sister-in-law, so she groaned for a while and sneered: "This girl is now obedient, and she knows that she can't make up her mind and has to go to the old lady to ask for a show." But this matter was explained by the crown princess herself, no matter what, I will let my mother get her wish. ”

The people around Xiao Luo said, "What are you going to do, master?" If the old lady advises the young lady not to go to the banquet, then we will not have a chance. ”

"Humph! She doesn't go? Can she say she won't go if she doesn't go? You hurry up and go to the East Palace, so that the crown princess can be so ........"

Shangguan's old lady Luo took the invitation from her granddaughter and was also taken aback. After all, at a time like this, the crown princess Zhang suddenly said that she was going to hold a banquet, which made people a little unable to grasp her true intentions.

"Grandmother, do you say, is this flower banquet granddaughter going or not? This princess suddenly said that she wanted to have a treat, what did she mean? ”

The old lady Shangguan said: "Grandmother is also a little confused about the meaning of the crown princess, but don't worry about this matter first, in this way, when your father comes back in a while, grandmother will discuss it with him again, and then send someone to inform you." ”

"Then you mean that the granddaughter will take this matter first?"

"Yes, naturally it is necessary to respond. The crown princess is the future mother of the country, she came forward to be the east, if we casually find a reason not to go, wouldn't this be a big crime of disrespect? ”

In the evening, after Shangguan Yuanji returned home, he heard about this matter, so he said to the old lady of Shangguan: "Mother, my son has heard about this matter. It is said that the crown princess personally asked the queen mother to invite more than a dozen noble girls in Beijing to go to the back garden of the East Palace to enjoy the flowers. In addition, the crown princess also invited the queen mother and His Royal Highness King Ding, who had just returned to the palace. From this point of view, it should be the Queen Mother who wants to choose a princess for King Ding, so she ......".

Before he could finish his words, he was drowned out by the joyful voice of Shangguan who rushed in.

"Really? Daddy, you said that the crown princess invited us over just to choose a concubine for Brother Chen? I'm going, I'm going to go! ”

Shangguan Yuanji looked at his daughter with a longing face, and said with some frowns: "You kid, when did you come and don't let people spread it?" What kind of system is it to shout like this? Also, for my father, I need to tell you that this time the flower banquet was only presided over by the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess, which means that the Queen Mother may not know. Therefore, you don't put all your hopes on this, after all, the queen mother is the biological mother of His Royal Highness Dingwang, and the marriage of the king must obey the queen's wishes. ”

"Then I don't care, Daddy, didn't you say that the queen has already agreed to your proposal? This time, the Queen Mother invited so many young ladies to come over, if I don't go, what if Brother Chen is taken away by other vixens? ”

After speaking, Shangguan Wanxuan left without looking back. Looking at her frizzy back, Shangguan Yuanji and Shangguan Old Lady were speechless.

Shangguan Wansu has always been the most daring and reckless person, after she came out of the old lady Shangguan, she thought about it all the way, and for the sake of stability, she immediately called someone to meet with several other invited daughters.

After listening to Shangguan's gentle warning, these people naturally didn't dare to fight with her, so they all agreed that they would not steal her limelight when the time came.

"Miss, you asked the slave maid to send a letter to the Song Mansion earlier, this Miss Song is said to be not in the Mansion, and the Second Miss Song said that she was unwell and it was inconvenient to come to see you. You look at ......".

"What? Song Zichu actually has such a big shelf, do you dare to come? And this Song Zilan, what kind of thing is she, but she is just a shameless little slut, and she is embarrassed to excuse me and say that she is uncomfortable? Phew! ”

After Shangguan Wanwan finished speaking, he went to the Song Mansion angrily. When she came to Song Zilan's courtyard, she didn't say much, but said directly: "It is said that people are self-aware, and in your situation, the banquet in the East Palace is naturally not possible." Not only that, but I also want you to do something for me, and don't let your eldest sister go to the East Palace for a banquet. ”

Song Zilan looked at her with some amusement and sneered: "Are you ordering me?" Why? ”

"Why? Not for anything, just because I know the ugly thing about you and Sheng Chonghua. Song Zilan, if you dare not listen to my orders, I will let people spread this matter out, so that you will not be able to be a man. ”

"You! Don't you dare?! ”
