Jinxiu didn't dare to speak.

"I'm obviously also thinking about the future of the Zhenguo Mansion, because my brother's child is really not successful, so I thought that Brother Lan would become the eldest princess." The queen clasped her hands together and clenched them unconsciously. "As a result, I mentioned it several times, and the couple in the second room not only rejected me several times, but also said that my father was moved."

Zhenguo Gong is the queen's maiden family, even if Jinxiu is not from the Zhenguo Mansion, she has served by the queen's side for many years, and she has to be reused, so she naturally knows the current situation of the Zhenguo Mansion well.

The prince of Zhenguo himself is a private man who does not cultivate his morality, and before he married a wife, he took advantage of the fact that the prince of Zhenguo was away from the border, and was sheltered by the deceased Duchess of Zhenguo and allowed the favored concubine to give birth to the eldest son.

The family who was married to the son of Zhenguo Gong was originally a close friend of Zhenguo Gong, and Xu married the daughter of the family.

This matter came out, and even if the prince of Zhenguo rushed back to the imperial capital to say Xiang, the family still insisted on withdrawing from the marriage. The husband and wife of Zhenguo almost fell out over this matter, and the Duchess of Zhenguo took this opportunity to marry the current Mrs. Shizi as his wife.

It's just that the prince of Zhenguo is also a son who can't teach his son, and there are as many as seven or eight sons and concubines together, but none of them have ever been completed.

The Duke of Zhenguo didn't pay attention to the son of the son who was born earlier, but the Duchess of Zhenguo beat the son of the world to spoil.

Now the prince of Zhenguo is full of gentleness from big to small, and the concubines are making trouble all day long.

In contrast, the second family is simple, and the husband and wife are in harmony.

And the pair of brothers and sisters in the second room accompanied their mother Duansu into the palace for the first time to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and the brother and sister unintentionally collided with the eldest princess.

The county lord of Duansu, who has been low-key for many years because he married his concubine, is also the county lord of the real power palace in the final analysis. Does the queen really think that a few words of wooing after Duan Chengwen, the cousin in the second room, took up the momentum, and she could really win over the couple in the second room?

Xiao Lu dragged on until she was almost twenty years old and did not marry, and she had a bad relationship with the second room in her early years, the queen said that she wanted Duan Shaolan to marry such a barbaric princess, where would the couple in the second room agree, even the prince of Zhenguo would not agree.

But Princess Zhaoyue is different, she is only fifteen years old, young and beautiful, and she is really young.

After the ceremony, there was an official princess title, and such a princess extended an olive branch to Duan Shaolan, and even the prince of Zhenguo was moved by this marriage.

"That's it." The queen sat still for a moment before she got up and raised her hand to support the hairpin that was a little crooked on the sideburns. "Since they decided to completely refuse the dignity I gave the second room, I can only find another way."

"What do you mean?" Jinxiu, who had been quiet and didn't dare to answer, carefully looked at the queen's face, and then sat up straight and asked after the queen's words.

"Your Majesty is a person who attaches great importance to blood kinship, even if the eldest princess is not as good as Princess Zhaoyue in appearance, but she is the eldest daughter of Your Majesty." Back then, the queen was actually going to use Xiao Lu's marriage to connect the two princes to other families, but now that Xiao Lu is getting older, the general family is afraid that they don't want to let the children in the family still be such an older and ungraced princess, and the children of the family who are the same age as Xiao Lu and have not yet married always have some problems like this and that, which delays the marriage, and even Emperor Chu may not agree to such a marriage.

Fortunately, the prince of Zhenguo has no other benefits, but he tossed out seven or eight sons. Mrs. Shizi is too lazy to care about the marriages of her children, but she still cares about the marriages of her own children.

But helplessly, she had a high vision and rejected all marriages from a slightly lower background, but the son of the world had a bad reputation outside. She can't look down on people who can look down on her children, and people who can look down on her can't look down on her.

So now there are a few of Mrs. Shizi's own children who have not yet successfully married, and two of them are about the same age as Xiao Lu.

"Niangniang means that she wants the son of the prince to go to Princess Shang?" Jinxiu thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, if I propose to give the eldest princess to my eldest brother's concubine, Your Majesty will definitely not allow it." The queen knew that they were also concubines, and the concubines of the prince would only eat, drink and have fun, but Duan Shaolan had not only been recorded in the name of his mother-in-law, but also very promising. "Fortunately, my sister-in-law's background is okay, and her standing is quite decent, if she allows a sister-in-law, maybe Your Majesty will allow it."

"The mother is scheming." Splendid Lang echoed.

"I didn't like her, but in the end, she is also from His Majesty's Heavenly Family, so I can't despise her too much." The queen raised her eyes and motioned for Jinxiu to stand up. "Get up, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, if the mother has something to do, just tell me." Jinxiu hurriedly cleaned up, respectfully bent down in front of the queen, and listened carefully to her instructions.

"Now, the first thing is that you go and invite Concubine Chen to me later, and say that I have something important to talk to her."

In fact, the queen was still angry that Concubine Chen, who relied on her own protection, privately agreed with the old lady of Ding'an Hou to marry Xiao Lu back to the Ding'an Hou Mansion for the sake of her mother's Ding'an Hou Mansion, in order to keep the title of the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

It was also for this reason that the queen acquiesced and asked Mandarin Duck to hand over the medicine to Xiao Lu, conniving at Xiao Lu's maternal grandmother. Sure enough, as soon as the old lady of Ding'an Hou died, the marriage between Xiao Lu and Ding'an Hou Mansion was broken.

The father and son of the Ding'an Houfu annoyed Emperor Chu without a form, and Xiao Lu also angered Emperor Chu after that.

Emperor Chu and the Empress both gave up on Xiao Lu's marriage, and Concubine Chen's own maiden Ding'an Hou Mansion was even more helpless after the death of the old lady of Ding'an Hou, so Xiao Lu's marriage can only be undecided so far.

In the past year, for Xiao Lu, who had not decided on a marriage for a long time, Concubine Chen came to Zhaoyang Palace again and again with a cheeky skin and regardless of the queen's cold face.

"Okay, slave and maid, let's go."

"Well, before you go." The queen touched her face and said to Jinxiu. "I remember to tell the group of blind people outside the door to come in and serve me to redress and dress up."

"Yes, sissy." Jinxiu nodded again and again. "The slave and maid will definitely tell them to serve their mother well."

Jinxiu picked up the hem of her skirt and walked out of the room quickly.

After the palace maids entered from Jinxiu, they had been guarding the door outside the door and did not dare to leave without permission, and now they saw Jinxiu's footsteps hurriedly walking out of it, and immediately surrounded them to ask.

"Niangniang is not a big deal, you have been assigned to Zhaoyang Palace to serve Niangniang for a long time, it should be a little measured. Niangniang is not a harsh palace person, she doesn't have to always kneel, in case someone outside sees it, she misunderstands Niangniang. ”

After listening to Jinxiu's words, the palace maids surrounding her just nodded again and again, indicating that they had written down Jinxiu's instructions.

"I'm going to run an errand for my mother right now." Jinxiu and the queen had just ordered her to do something, so they had to quickly order them to serve the queen to change clothes and make up. "Niangniang wants you to go in and wait for a new change of clothes and makeup, you know Niangniang's preferences, Niangniang may have to meet guests today, you had better know in your heart, and you must be careful to serve when you go in next, you know?"

"Thank you Sister Jinxiu for reminding me, we know, and we will definitely serve my mother wholeheartedly." One of them, the palace maid named Yu Silk, who was in the lead, said.

"Okay, it's good to know." Jinxiu patted her on the shoulder. "I have to go, you guys go in quickly, don't let the mother wait."

"Yes!"

When Jinxiu came, Concubine Chen was resting in her room.

During this time, I don't know what stubbornness Xiao Lu has committed, and she has made old mistakes, and Zhenri has broken pots and bowls in her own room. Concubine Chen said and scolded, but Xiao Lu couldn't listen to a word.

Concubine Chen reminded her and asked her to go to Emperor Chu and the queen to sell her good deeds and fulfill her filial piety, otherwise how would her marriage be good?

Xiao Lu was very stubborn, only saying that she was too lazy to go out due to heat stroke, and she hid in her own room, and Concubine Chen's mouth was about to wear out, and she didn't move at all.

Concubine Chen was so angry with Xiao Lu that she was helpless and dizzy, and she had no appetite for the past few days, but fortunately, she was more relaxed when she arrived at the palace, and she could only rest in her room these days.

But when her palace maid trotted in all the way and said that the queen's first-class palace maid Jinxiu came to deliver a message to Concubine Chen for the queen, Concubine Chen, who was originally lying on the bed and was tired, immediately came to her senses.

"Quick, quick, help me up." Concubine Chen said. "Help me get up and change my clothes, and let Jinxiu wait in the front hall first."

Jinxiu was affectionately welcomed by the palace maid beside Concubine Chen, and after sitting for almost half a cup of tea, Concubine Chen walked out from behind with a roar, and almost broke her foot at the turn, but fortunately, the palace maid next to her had good eyes, and several people stabilized her body in time.

Jinxiu, who was originally half-sitting on a chair, immediately got up when she saw this.

"Splendid to Concubine Chen, please be safe." Waiting for Concubine Chen to come over and sit down, Jinxiu leaned over and curtsied.

"Splendid, get up." Concubine Chen forcibly pressed her emotions and briefly talked to Jinxiu. "Now it's just a short time after lunch, why didn't Jinxiu serve the queen mother, but came to me?"

"There are people around the queen to serve, and today I specially ordered the slaves and maids to run errands and pass on messages." Jinxiu straightened up and said with a smile. "The queen has thought that she has not spoken to Concubine Chen for a long time, if Concubine Chen is okay today, she will let the slave and maid pass the word and ask Concubine Chen to accompany the queen to talk in the afternoon."

"The queen is invited, I must be free."

When Concubine Chen learned that the queen invited her to speak, hope was rekindled in her eyes, not to mention that she would have nothing to do in the afternoon, even if there was something, she would only be unable to push it off.

"That being the case, Concubine Chen must still have to change her clothes and make up before leaving." Jinxiu said with a smile. "The slave maid will go back to the queen mother first to answer the mother."

"Okay, okay." Concubine Chen was overjoyed, and motioned to the palace maid next to her to step forward and stuff a bulging purse to Jinxiu, who accepted it with a smile but disrespectfully. "I'm tired of Jinxiu going back to pass the word, I immediately packed it up and went over to say goodbye to the queen."
