Concubine De sighed, and the tears in the corners of her eyes fell silently, leaving traces on her pillow.

Heavenly reincarnation, how many times in the midnight dream back, she thought of the child who died young, and longed to eat the queen's flesh and blood to avenge the child. But when she woke up from her sleep, she knew that she had no real evidence in her hands, and it was impossible to expect the queen to pay for her child's life.

So she survived until today, and finally waited for the queen to end up like this, which was already very relieved for her.

Emperor Chu retained the dignity of the queen to the outside world, even if the queen has completely lost power in the palace, there are no more people outside the palace who know the inside story.

The title of the Duke of Zhenguo finally fell on the head of Duan Chengwen, and the prince of Zhenguo and the wife of the prince Liu had three sons-in-law, in addition to Duan Shaoyou, who was degraded, the other two sons-in-law, Emperor Chu, rewarded them with the title of viscount.

The day after the decree of the lord came down, the prince of Zhenguo supported the sick body and presided over the separation.

After Liu said goodbye to the Duke of Zhenguo, he returned to the courtyard and ordered someone to pack up his belongings, preparing to move out of the Mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo with her eldest son.

The division of the Zhenguo family is very fair, and the Liu family's dowry also has a courtyard for living.

For the two new viscounts, the court also has its own rewards and offerings, as long as they don't live extravagantly in the future, this life can be spent in peace.

It is difficult to find a courtyard suitable for long-term residence, and the two families who have been separated can only temporarily move to Liu's two wedding houses.

The maids and servants in the courtyard were busy inside and out, packing and packing their belongings.

Since the death of her husband, Liu's lingering and lingering beds have often been in poor spirits for a long time. She thought the room was noisy, and the second daughter, Sister Yan, sat in the courtyard with her.

The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other and whispered until a maid came to report that the lord of Su had come.

"Sister-in-law, are you starting to clean up?" After the county lord Duansu came in, he looked at the busy scene in the courtyard and asked. "If you can't find a suitable house to move to for the time being, your sister-in-law and children will continue to live in the house, and you don't have to move out in a hurry."

"Second aunt, sit down." When Sister Yan saw that Lord Duansu was coming, she took the initiative to get up and give her a seat.

"Thank you for your kindness." After the Duansu County Lord sat down, Liu said to her with a weak smile. "I have asked the people of the tooth shop to look for the new house, and if there is a suitable dowry in the dowry of the house I moved to, I will move there with the children first. My husband has passed away, and although I couldn't even talk to him when he was alive, after all, I have been married to him for decades, and we have these children again, and I often think of him in this courtyard, so I might as well move out early. ”

"But my sister-in-law's body hasn't been raised yet, so it's not too tiring to move to the house, so it's better to wait until it's well raised before moving?"

"It's okay, I just have two daughters-in-law for me, and I don't have to worry too much." Liu Shi looked at Sister Yan who was standing beside him, and asked the Duansu County Lord tentatively. "There's just one thing I want to ask the county lord to fulfill, I don't know if the county lord is willing?"

"The family doesn't have to say two words, if the sister-in-law needs my help with something, just say it directly, don't say anything that can't be done." The county lord of Duansu, who is also a mother, quickly came to his senses, and he probably had a success in what he wanted to say to the Liu family. "Is it for the sake of my sister's marriage in three years?"

"The county lord is smart, and he really knows what I want." Liu smiled helplessly. "At that time, when the two children began to discuss marriage, the late husband was still alive, and Sister Yan was still the daughter of the family at that time. Now that Sister Yan'er's father is gone, I thought it would be good if Sister Yan could still marry from the Zhenguo Mansion in the future. ”

"My sister-in-law praised me falsely, where am I smart, but I just empathize with the same mother." Lord Duansu smiled and looked at Sister Yan and said. "I thought that now that my sister-in-law moved out in a hurry with the children, she must have a lot of chores on hand in the future. If Sister Yan wants to get married, it is best to stay in the Zhenguo Mansion to prepare for marriage. How about Sister Yan still living in her own yard before she got married? ”

"Really?" Unexpectedly, without a word of speech, the Duansu County Lord would respond to this matter, Liu said with a smile. "Then it's troublesome for the county lord, Sister Zhu'er's dowry is the same as her sister's original one, which I have already saved and prepared. Before I moved out, the county lord took care of Sister Yan for a while. ”

"That's natural, Sister Yan is a child of the Zhenguo Mansion, and I, as her second aunt, have to buy her a thick makeup." Lord Duansu looked at Sister Yan kindly and said. "If sister-in-law is relieved, Sister Yan will be taken care of by me."

"I can't rest assured that the county lord can't be more assured." Liu gently pushed Sister Yan'er. "Sister Yan, if you stay in the mansion in the future, you must listen to the words of the county lord well."

"Well, got it, Mother." Sister Yan obediently stepped forward to thank the lord of Duansu. "It's going to be hard for the second aunt in the future."

"It's not hard." Lord Duansu shook his head and said. "You still use the same people around you to serve, if there is anything unsatisfactory, or if there is any problem with food and clothing, remember to send someone to tell me at any time."

Sister Yan was originally unwilling to stay alone in the Zhenguo Mansion to be married, but the Liu family couldn't persuade her, and specially invited the eldest daughter Sister Meng to return to the house to persuade her.

Sister Meng knew the concerns in Liu's heart, and the mother and daughter took turns to persuade them, and it was easy to persuade Sister Yan to stay in the Zhenguo Mansion to be married.

Although the two elder brothers now have the title of viscount, they can't compare to the prestige of Zhenguo Gong for a hundred years. On the day of marriage, if Sister Yan'er's sedan chair can go out of the Zhenguo Mansion, she will be able to add more face to Sister Meng in front of her in-laws' concubines in the future.

Sister Yan looked at Liu, who had become a lot haggard in recent years, and it was not good to continue to be stubborn, so she could only respond.

After the renovation of the East Palace was completed, the crown prince Xiao Yu and his family officially moved into the East Palace.

Before the first Mid-Autumn Festival in the East Palace, the new crown princess Wen held a chrysanthemum banquet in the East Palace to invite the female dependents. Xiao Xuan was naturally indispensable to the banquet in the East Palace, Xiao Xuan took Brother Min into the palace for the banquet, and happened to bump into Xiao Lu with Sister Rou in front of the East Palace.

"Big sister came early, too." Xiao Xuan first touched Sister Rou'er's bulging cheeks, and then said to Xiao Lu with a smile. "Sister Rou'er has grown a lot taller recently?"

"This is the first time that the crown princess has held a chrysanthemum banquet in the East Palace, and since I received the invitation, I naturally have to come over to support it earlier." Xiao Lu's sister, who was lovingly held by herself, said with a smile. "Didn't my sister come early?"

"I was so entangled by Brother Min that I couldn't help it, and now that he is getting more and more naughty, I want to take him out as soon as possible, there are brothers and sisters in the East Palace who can play with him. As long as I have someone to play with, I can relax a little bit. "Speaking of which, Brother Min has already seen Sister Rou and is waving at her." I now look at Sister Rou so quiet and well-behaved, and I can't say how envious I am for my big sister. ”

"Sister Rou also came over like this when she was a child, and it will probably be better when the child is older." Xiao Lu covered her lips and said with a smile. "Sister will wait a few more years."

"How long will it take?" Xiao Xuan looked at Brother Min, who was unwilling to stay honest for a moment in the arms of his nursing mother, and said helplessly. "If only I had had been a daughter."

"Brother Min is good like this, and he looks smarter and smarter. Boys are more extroverted than girls. Xiao Lu smiled.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu stood outside the door and said these words for a while, and the crown princess Wen, who got the news, came out to greet the two of them in person.

"What are you two sisters talking about?" Perhaps because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Wen's complexion is more and more amazing, and his light smile is also very moving. "Don't patronize the two of you standing here and talking, bring Brother Min and Sister Rou in first, the children inside are waiting for their younger brothers and sisters in a hurry."

Seeing that the crown princess Wen came out to greet her in person, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu stopped laughing and saluted Wen together.

"Two sisters, get up." Seeing this, Wen hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them and said. "Come in with me, sit down and talk."

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu each prepared a generous gift, and after following Wen into the hall and taking a seat, they ordered someone to come forward and present it to Wen.

"Thank you for the gift of the two sisters." Wen asked people to accept their congratulatory gifts, and ordered people to lead Brother Min and Sister Rou down to play. "You're here early today, and you haven't arrived yet?"

"Have you arrived?" Xiao Xuan looked around and asked.

"A few of them are here, talking outside," Wen said with a smile. "Only except for the second brother and sister, the Duchess of Liguo is in a dangerous condition this time, even the imperial doctor has gone to the Duke of Liguo a few times, and it was easy to save it, the second brother and sister want to stay in the Liguo Mansion to do their filial piety, so they didn't come this time, but Concubine Liao came with the children."

Xiao Jin, who had been promoted to Prince Jin before, was unwilling to leave the imperial capital like this, and just as he was about to enter the palace to beg the queen to intercede for him, the news of the closure of Zhaoyang Palace came out of the palace. He entered the palace in the name of visiting the queen and asked to see him outside the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, and before he stood outside the gate of Zhaoyang Palace for a while, the palace guards guarding the door asked him to leave.

In the end, Xiao Jin, who was forced to accept his fate, set off to his fiefdom with his newly sealed Concubine He, while Hu and Concubine Liao each got their wish and were able to stay in the palace of Prince Jin in the imperial capital.

After Xiao Jin left the imperial capital, Duchess Liguo's condition slowly eased, but she had to do a full set of plays, she couldn't recover all at once, and the Hu family still needed to continue to serve her mother in the Liguo Mansion for a while.

Concubine Liao stayed in Prince Jin's mansion to take care of the children's food, clothing and daily life, and her life was also comfortable.
