Ye He Minglu didn't speak again, but leaned on the soft pillow of aster flowers and ten fragrances, and the algae green and gold embroidered silk gauze on his body overlapped, covering the white moire bandeau of the moon inside, so silent, like a palace gauze beauty resting in the painting, only a pair of autumn water eyes are particularly smart. At this time, she has long since faded away from the previous aura of the sect leader of the rivers and lakes, and has become graceful and luxurious, and idlers dare not face it.

After a cup of tea, someone outside the door spread the word, and several young women walked in the thin light, as if they were shocked by Ye Heming's demeanor, and they lowered their heads in more and more fear, and only quietly watched their feet and walked in. The leader is a woman with a light peach-colored smoke, very pretty between her eyebrows, and she is young and delicate, showing even more innocence. However, it was not her who caught Ye He's attention, but another woman beside her, bright and compelling, with delicate and picturesque eyebrows, and suddenly it was the main person she was looking for this time, Bai Xiushu, the second lady of Baifu, the eldest young lady of Shengfu!

Because Ye Heminglu is very famous in the capital, but she rarely has the time to socialize with these noble ladies. Therefore, the few people who came in, although they had already known who they were coming to see, all of them looked a little cowering, and they didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.

I don't know who took the lead, but under his leadership, everyone bowed down and said, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Princess Jin'an! ”

"Princess, princess?" After the maid pushed Ye Heminglu, who was in a trance, she made the decision to sit on behalf of all the ladies, and all the women gave thanksgiving gifts, and two of them were too timid to raise their heads.

"Ladies, this palace is rude." Ye Heming came back to his senses, and after greeting everyone for a few words, he turned his head and smiled at Bai Xiushu, "I didn't expect the young lady of the Sheng Mansion to be so good-looking, this palace saw that the concubines who entered the palace this time were not as beautiful as Mrs. You, but I was really stunned for a while." ”

Ye He Minglu had already sent someone to investigate, this Bai Xiushu had been beautiful since she was a child, so her arrogance was the most prosperous among the sisters. At this time, she was naturally very happy to be praised by the princess for her beauty in front of all the ladies. "Hehe, do you remember this palace?" Ye He Minglu looked at Bai Xiushu and said thoughtfully: "When the palace was given marriage by the emperor, you also asked your father to help with many matters in the Ministry of Rites. Later, I remembered in a trance that I had seen you once. It's just that it was far away at that time, and you didn't raise your head, so I didn't see how beautiful you looked. ”

"Of course I remember, princess, you ......" Bai Xiushu's voice was a kind of young woman's sweetness, as if she felt that it was inappropriate, and replied with a red face: "Princess, you are making fun of Xiushu." A few ladies have already instructed me, saying that Her Royal Highness the princess likes to have a straightforward personality the most, and I won't tell you that when you got married, all the women in the capital were all in the city, and it would be strange if you hadn't seen it. ”

At this time, it seemed that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and her words and deeds were all the innocent and delicate of Houmen's youngest daughter, full of infinite novelty after leaving the boudoir, and she was not a vicious and mean little woman as rumored.

Seeing this, Ye Heminglu was even more aware of it. It seems that in order to discredit her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sheng Fu spared no effort!

Seeing that the ladies were a little restrained in getting along with them for the first time, Ye He Minglu just asked some gossip one after another, and then chatted about some tea topics, and then smiled at Bai Xiushu: "Your house is on Enning Street, and it just so happens that the princess of this palace is also near you, and it is not too far away. ”

When Ye He Minglu said this, Bai Xiushu was naturally very proud, she raised her head with a smile, and said seriously: "Thank you princess for your appreciation, don't say that when the time comes, don't think I'm irritable." ”

"Heh, how could it be?" Ye Heming was worried about something in his heart, and after speaking slightly, he instructed the women: "You guys came from the Shen Mansion just now?" It just so happened that Mrs. Shen was talking with the palace before, and now you are in the past, and the palace has to enter the palace to see the emperor, so it is inconvenient to stay with you today, so let people send you out first. ”

When all the women heard this, they all got up and agreed, and followed Ye Heminglu's maid out of the room.

Halfway through the afternoon, when Ye Heminglu was counting the time, the maid came in and said, "Princess, Bai Xiushu is here." ”

"Young lady, please take a seat." Ye He Minglu looked at the woman in front of her, with a plump and delicate little face, a delicate and rich appearance, and a red gauze satin palace dress overlapping on her body, which seemed too grand, but fortunately, there was a thin blue thread on the edge of the belt to embellish, and it could be seen a little.

"Princess Wan'an, there is no one else here, the princess might as well call me a small character."

"Heh, when there is no one else, this palace will call your name."

Bai Xiushu's expression was relieved when she heard this, Ye He Minglu looked at her pair of lacquer ink pupils and smiled slightly, "Xiushu, this palace sees that you are a smart person, and now there is a difficult matter in this palace, I want to ask you for a favor." I don't know, will you or not? ”

Bai Xiushu is really smart, just hearing this sentence, she has already guessed half of it. Then he rolled his eyes and said to Ye Heming: "If the princess has any sends, the little woman will be happy to serve you." I just don't know what the princess is talking about? The little woman had no talent, and if she could not share the princess's worries, she would be troubled. ”

When Ye He Minglu heard her say this, he knew that the matter had become more than half. She nodded, and said, "You know, I've always liked to go straight, so if there's anything to say, I won't go around in circles." In this way, I think you have also heard that your mother-in-law has been telling people everywhere recently that you can't have children, so she must bring back your husband's previous exiled child to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. ”

Seeing that Ye He's words hit the stinging point in his heart, Bai Xiushu's face also changed at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said with disgust: "You said this, naturally I don't recognize it." Hmph, what do you say I can't have children, my mother-in-law also asked a famous doctor to diagnose my pulse a few days ago. I'm in good health, nothing is wrong! Even the doctor said that giving birth to a child is a matter of two people, and it is not something that we women can give birth to by working hard alone. Besides, he .......".

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, with a shy and angry look on her face, Ye He Minglu said again: "I see that you look very good, and your speech and demeanor are also generous, and what your mother-in-law said to people outside is completely different things." Besides, how can you be as formless as the shrew she said? It's just that now that it's come to this, we're all women, and I understand your difficulties. Tell me the truth, would you like to take back the child born to someone else and your husband and let him call you a mother? ....... later".

"Princess, of course I don't want to! Not to mention, it is not certain whether this child was born to my husband or not, it is really a wild seed left by my husband when he was out of love, and I will definitely not allow him to enter the house! ”

Bai Xiushu said, angrily tearing the silk scarf in front of Ye He Minglu. Seeing that the silk scarf in her hand was about to be twisted into a ball, Ye He sighed and said, "Yes, this kind of thing, if it were me, I wouldn't want to." After all, I am still young, so why bother raising other people's children? It's just that you are being troubled by your mother-in-law now, and the situation is very passive. You said, your mother-in-law insisted that you can't have children, and your husband is still empty under his knees. If you don't generously take the child back and raise him under your own name, and the world says it, wouldn't you have committed the seven rules and lost your morality? When the time comes, even if your parents want to help you, you will also be drowned by the world's spitting stars! ”

Hearing Ye Heminglu say this, Bai Xiushu couldn't help but reddened her eyes. Seeing this, Ye He handed over the silk scarf in his hand and comforted: "Actually, I won't tell you, we have the same fate." Although I am a princess, I have always been just the emperor's sister-in-law, not royal blood. I have been married for longer than you, and now I have only given birth to a daughter, although my husband did not say it, but my in-laws have already begun to urge. ”

"Woo, princess, you say, why are we women so miserable? I think at the beginning, I, Bai Xiushu, were also arrogant people. Marrying into the Sheng Mansion is originally a low marriage. My mother originally expected her husband's family to be considerate and respectful to me in the future, but she didn't expect that after entering the door, she found that her husband had countless favors. The father-in-law only takes care of the business outside, and the mother-in-law takes care of everything in the inner courtyard. My mother-in-law is very protective, she always wants to use her mother-in-law's identity to press me, and my life is ........"

"Okay, okay, I got it. But listening to you say this, if your husband has a lot of pets in the inner courtyard, why hasn't a child been born before? Or did your mother-in-law do something about it? ”

This kind of thing is also common in large households. Many sons and brothers like to be romantic, but before they get married and marry, usually the elders of the family still have to restrain themselves. If the woman who is married is also a family with a head and face, then it is even more taboo to the issue of the eldest son. Therefore, the housewife of the house will let people give contraceptive decoction to the girls who have no name, which is also a secret move. It's just that, if it is rightly speaking, this mistress will do this, but it will hinder the prosperity of the family's heirs, so such a thing can only mean that it cannot be spoken, and no one wants to admit it. Once admitted, he is guilty.

Hearing Ye He Minglu say this, Bai Xiushu naturally reacted. She thought for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "I remembered the princess's reminder. Before my husband got married, there were eight maids in the yard, all of whom were fox spirits. However, since I entered the door, I have sent three out, and the other five have been assigned to the water room to do hard work. I once interrogated them if they had drunk contraceptive juice after serving their husbands, and they all said no. Besides, with my mother-in-law's temperament, a few months after I entered the door, she began to knock and scold Huai, if the maid was pregnant, wouldn't she just use it to taunt me? I don't believe it, she'll still think about me! ”
