Deng Hong looked up at Mrs. Ding'an Hou in disbelief, and couldn't help but cry again.

"Your father likes to have fun, and he doesn't care whether the next generation of the Ding'an Marquis Mansion is demoted or equalized. Your grandmother was born in the Marquis of Zhenhai Mansion, a noble daughter and proud by nature, so she will spend her life thinking about the title of the Marquis of Ding'an. Mrs. Ding'an Hou waved away the waiting maids, looked at the tablet in front of the spirit, and said lightly. Your biological mother, Aunt Zheng, is not a bad person, and she also has her own way of acting. In the future, when you become a relative, whether you are in Ding'an Hou Mansion or not, you can live well in the future. ”

"Mother, I don't want much. The throne is not what I want, if it weren't for the two younger brothers, I would rather go out in the future and take my aunt out to earn a living. "Asking for the life of a loved one, Deng Hong felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"But now, the future of this Hou Mansion can only be entrusted to you." Mrs. Ding'an Hou consciously saw through the world. "I'm afraid that this time your lord's affairs are only afraid to be yellow, if my mother-in-law knows about Huangquan Road, she will definitely not be stable. However, the matter of the lord may not be a good thing for the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and it is not bad. ”

Knowing the bad news of the death of the old lady of Ding'anhou, Concubine Chen fainted for three days, and when she woke up, the old lady of Ding'an Hou had been buried in the ancestral grave.

Although the close relatives passed away, Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu had to comply with the taboos in the palace in the harem, and the sackcloth filial piety clothes naturally could not be worn. However, Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu still deliberately chose some plain clothes to wear.

The queen was considerate of them and exempted their mother and daughter from a three-month greeting ceremony.

Concubine Chen was also seriously ill, and it took almost a month to fall in bed before she could barely get up.

Originally, before Mrs. Ding'an Hou was critically ill, Concubine Chen had already found an opportunity to mention to Emperor Chu the request of the Ding'an Hou Mansion to want the lord. Although Xiao Lu is not Emperor Chu's favorite child, Emperor Chu is a short-term character, and the Hou Shizi of Ding'an is famous, and even the junior officials in Beijing have to take care of their reputation and are reluctant to marry their daughters, not to mention the princess who grew up under Emperor Chu's knees. Emperor Chu naturally rejected Concubine Chen in one bite.

Helplessly, Concubine Chen came every day, and did not enter the palace again, but only knelt outside the Lingyun Hall and wept, begging Emperor Chu to give grace to the Marquis Mansion.

The old lady of Ding'an Hou said that she moved her mother's Zhenhai Hou Mansion into the words, the current Zhenhai Hou is the nephew of the old lady, although she is related to the old lady in general, but she thinks that the lord has more glory in the end, and the current Zhenhai Hou is also a member of the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

Emperor Chu felt a little loosened in his heart, thinking about Xiao Lu's personality, marrying into another family might cause more trouble. No matter how you say that the Ding'an Hou Mansion is Concubine Chen's mother's family, and the princess of this dynasty is married, it doesn't matter who is the candidate for the concubine, and the princess's honor is not determined by her husband's family.

Who would have expected that there would be another incident in the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, and the Hou Shizi of Ding'an dared to take a woman from the Qinglou back to the Hou Mansion before the matter of the lord was decided, saying that she would be accepted as a concubine, and she was so angry that the old lady of the Hou of Ding'an fell ill.

Emperor Chu was furious, not only sent someone to reprimand Ding'anhou and his son, but also confiscated Ding'anhou's two-year-old Yulu, and the matter of the lord was naturally stopped.

Concubine Chen was going to be in good health, but after learning the news, she was sick for several months.

After Xiao Lu was depressed for a while after the death of the old lady of Ding'an, she wore a blue dress and went to Emperor Chu to ask for instructions, wanting to go to Famen Temple, a royal temple outside the city, to pray for the deceased grandmother and sick mother concubine for three months.

Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Lu, who was pale and kneeling in front of him, and sighed that Xiao Lu had finally grown up.

"Lu'er, Buddhism is bitter, I look at you with a bad complexion. If you really want to pray for blessings, there is also a Buddhist hall in the palace, so it doesn't hurt for you to stay in the palace and pray for blessings. Looking at Xiao Lu's appearance, Emperor Chu softened his heart and personally got up to help Xiao Lu.

After Concubine Congchen fell ill, Xiao Lu waited in front of the sickbed every day. Even though he was young, but after so many days, Xiao Lu described him as very haggard.

"Father." Xiao Lu stood up obediently. "My mother mourned that my grandmother died suddenly to be so sick, I thought that Buddhism is the best, only in this way can my mother's body get better faster."

"That's it, if you insist on going, go ahead. Just one, don't burn your body, come back well. "Emperor Chu could only grant Xiao Lu's request to leave the palace." Originally, your mother wanted to ask for the opportunity to be the lord of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, but I thought that it was your mother's mother's mother's family, and you have also reached the age of marriage, maybe this marriage is good. It's just that the prince of Ding'an Hou is really unbearable, and I don't think it's appropriate to be the master. Anyway, if you are a princess, it doesn't matter if you marry a few years late, wait for your father to choose another horse for you, and then send you to marry. ”

"Lu'er thanked her father."

On the day Xiao Lu left the palace and went to Famen Temple, Xiao Xuan stood and looked at it from a distance.

"Princess, I didn't expect that the eldest princess was really filial." The green forest that followed behind Xiao Xuan tilted his head and said. "I heard that the eldest princess has been gone for three months."

"Yes, the big sister is indeed filial." Xiao Xuan watched Xiao Lu board the carriage and gradually move away. "The old lady of Ding'an Hou passed away, Concubine Chen fell ill, and I saw that my eldest sister had lost a lot of weight."

"Yes, the slave maid heard that Concubine Chen is also very sick. It was the eldest princess who served in front of Concubine Chen's bed day and night, and even ate three meals casually by Concubine Chen's side. Green Forest echoed. I can't see that a person with a temperament like the eldest princess can do this. ”

"But the eldest sister also got her wish, and my father heard about the affairs of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and he has decided to stop my sister from marrying into the Ding'an Hou Mansion." Xiao Xuan turned to leave.

On the other side of the Zhaoyang Palace, Jinxiu came to report to the queen the news of Xiao Lu's departure from the palace.

"The eldest princess said that it was to pray for the old lady of Ding'an Hou and Concubine Chen, who had passed away, and with the consent of His Majesty, she went to Famen Temple to pray for blessings and Qing Xiu for three months." Jinxiu listened to the news from the head and reported it to the queen word by word. "A moment ago, the eldest princess's car drove out of the palace, and His Majesty specially selected a team of pennant guards to escort the eldest princess to Famen Temple."

"It seems that the palace has to change its opinion of the eldest princess, and the old lady of Ding'an Hou passed away suddenly, and no one suspected that the old lady had gone strangely." The queen laughed. "I heard that His Majesty was furious a while ago, and sent Wu Chuan out of the palace to Ding'an Hou Mansion to reprimand Ding'an Hou and Ding'an Hou's son, father and son, and the matter of the lord sought by Ding'an Hou Mansion was also done."

"Yes, Queen. In the past, which concubine, let alone a concubine before marriage, even after marriage, the princess had nothing to do, and no one dared to take the initiative to take a concubine to extend the heir. The prince of Ding'an Hou not only wants to take a concubine before marriage, but also accepts a Qinglou woman, not to mention the lord, Jingzhong is afraid that no one is willing to marry his daughter into the Ding'an Hou Mansion. ”

"Yes, it's Your Majesty's daughter. Even if he is not the most favored one, His Majesty does not allow his children to be treated slowly. Not to mention that the matter of the lord was originally mentioned by the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and the old lady of the Ding'an Hou also specially brought the Zhenhai Hou to say something. The queen said instead. Concubine Chen is still sick, right? ”

"Yes, Concubine Chen hasn't eased her breath yet, and she knows that Her Majesty has decided the matter of the lord of the Ding'an Hou Mansion in anger, and I heard that the condition has become much more serious in the past few days."

"Although he is a Adou who can't be helped, he has been loyal to the palace all these years." The queen played with a white hosta in her hand and instructed Jinxiu. "You go to the Tai Hospital to say hello, so that they will have to treat Concubine Chen well. Tomorrow, you will take out two good old ginseng from the private treasury of this palace, and you will go to Yuxiu Palace to send them for this palace. The eldest princess prayed for her mother to leave the palace, and as the lord of the harem, the palace must take care of Concubine Chen's body. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Xiao Xuan returned to Yihua Palace, and Concubine Liu was sitting in the courtyard, watching a few little palace maids play with King Yujun in front.

"Little aunt." When King Yujun saw Xiao Xuan, he called her out in a milky voice, and immediately threw the cloth ball in his hand and walked towards Xiao Xuan.

"Hey." Xiao Xuan agreed crisply, and stepped forward to hold the hand of King Yujun.

Xiao Xuan led King Yujun back to Concubine Liu and sat down, and hugged King Yujun and sat on his lap.

"Coming back?" Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows and looked at her daughter and asked. "Celestia gone?"

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan held the little hand of King Yujun and teased him by pulling and pulling.

"She looked haggard for her mother's illness, and took the initiative to go out of the palace to pray for blessings." The corners of Concubine Liuhuang's mouth rose slightly and said. "I didn't expect that the eldest princess is older, but she is a lot more sensible, and your father is extremely satisfied with her actions this time. She was rewarded with a lot of things, and she was escorted by the pennant guard when she left the palace. ”

"Isn't it okay for big sister to be sensible?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Your father, the emperor, is the most protective, and Xiao Lu was good in the past. Now she is so well-behaved and sensible, and she has lost another marriage. Emperor Liu said. I'm afraid that if she mentions that she wants to marry your cousin Changjun in the future, your father will probably agree. ”

"Won't it?" Xiao Xuan asked in surprise.

"If you want me to say, the old lady of Ding'an Hou can't help but go a little strange." Emperor Liu said after thinking about it. "Your father only intended to move, and the prince of the Hou of Ding'an over there took a Qinglou woman back to the Hou Mansion, and he was sick and worked hard to seek the lord for him, and then within five or six days, the old lady went, everything was too natural."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xuan's eyes widened and he said in surprise. "Someone killed the old lady?"

"Don't guess, now the old lady of Ding'an Hou is buried." Emperor Liu said this on her lips, but she already had her own plans in her heart.

In the past, the eldest princess was not valued by Emperor Chu, and she had no chance to leave the palace.

But now she not only made Emperor Chu soft-hearted and valued, but also went out of the palace smoothly this time.

It seems that she must pass the message to her mother, so that her mother can send people to guard outside the Famen Temple and strictly control the movements of the three eldest princesses.
