Aunt Cheng knew that Cheng Linyu was coming today, so she deliberately took leave with Empress Dowager Xiao and returned to Cining Palace early.

She lives in the Duxiang Garden, a partial hall of Cining Palace, with a separate courtyard and seven or eight maids to serve.

Cheng Linyu has been waiting for more than an hour.

Idle, she took a medical book from the bookshelf to see, the year is like a long time ago, the page is yellowed, the handwriting is faintly legible, most of the records on it are some home remedies, and there are graphic logos, I am fascinated, there was a sound of small footsteps outside the door, Aunt Cheng walked in with two personal palace maids, her eyes fell on the medical book in Cheng Linyu's hand, the corners of her mouth were pulled, and she smiled: "Yu Niang is here." ”

Sunlight poured in through the window, illuminating her silhouette.

It's really a bit like my younger self.

"Old aunt!" Cheng Linyu put down the book, knelt down with a flutter, and instantly turned red, "Linyu can be regarded as seeing you." ”

Mother died.

The Xie family didn't let her come to the door, and the Cheng family had already cut off contact with her.

In this world, she only has one relative, Aunt Cheng.

"Good boy......" Aunt Cheng looked her up and down, helped her up, and smiled, "You have been wronged all these years." ”

Since entering the palace, she has gradually cut off contact with the Cheng family.

I don't know much about the Cheng family, but I didn't expect her to have such a peugeot niece.

"Now that Linyu has an old aunt who hurts, she doesn't feel wronged." Cheng Linyu held her hand tightly and refused to let go, Aunt Cheng simply pulled her to the back room to catch up, the girl put on tea and retreated quietly.

"When I entered the palace at the age of fourteen, I was selected to serve the tea palace maid by the side of the first emperor, and soon after the first emperor's wedding, I began to serve the queen mother, and it has been forty years." Aunt Cheng looked at Cheng Linyu's young and delicate eyebrows, and said with emotion, "At that time, I was as young and delicate as you, and everyone was willing to take a second look, unlike now, when I became an annoying old woman." ”

"No, the old aunt is still charming, and she is a great beauty!" Cheng Linyu pondered word by word, "My father-in-law and husband are full of praise when they talk about the old aunt, they say that the old aunt is unparalleled in intelligence, and there are few people in the palace who can compare with it!" ”

"Yu Niang, if you say this in this case, you must not say it again in the future." Aunt Cheng's face sank instantly, and she said solemnly, "There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, and there are countless ears outside the wall, so beware of the trouble coming out of the mouth." ”

"The old aunt forgives her sins, but Yu Niang forgot her form." Cheng Linyu hurriedly knelt down.

"That's it." Aunt Cheng helped her up, her face softened, and she barely squeezed out a smile, "I know your thoughts, there is no need to say compliments in the future, I will take the future of your father-in-law and husband to heart." ”

"Thank you, old aunt." Cheng Linyu blushed slightly.

"Yu Niang, I'm old, and I'm willing to have a junior next to me to take on my knees." Aunt Cheng sighed again, "It's a pity that you are married to a wife and can't enter the palace to accompany you, speaking of which, it's also my fault, I didn't pay attention to you earlier, otherwise, how can I let you marry into the Xu family, in my opinion, when Yong'an Hou didn't get married before, there was still some hope for your second room, and now the county lord of Qingping is pregnant, if you get a man in one fell swoop, you will be embarrassed, so Yong'an Hou is unreliable, and you have to find another way out." ”

Although Xu Pei is a successor, Xu Shenxing is true.

But now that he has his own child, it is naturally impossible to pass on the title to Xu Shenxing.

"Old aunt, this is all Linyu's life." Cheng Linyu smiled sadly, "There are times in life when you have to have it, there are times in life when you don't force it, I don't want anything, I just hope that the family can live a plain life." ”

"Yu Niang's words are bad, as the saying goes, people live for a lifetime, plants and trees for an autumn, since they are alive, they naturally have to live in a beautiful way." Aunt Cheng picked up the tea bowl, looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the blue soup, and said, "Although we women can't go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions like men, we can also spend more effort to do what we want to do and live the life we want, right?" ”

Cheng Linyu was confused.

"Yu Niang, you came today, of course, to visit me, an old aunt I haven't met for a long time, but it's more for your father-in-law and your husband to seek a future, isn't it?" Aunt Cheng looked at Cheng Linyu meaningfully, and smiled very worldly, "If I am just a rough and unbearable mother-in-law in the palace, can you deign to come to see me?" Definitely not, right? ”

"Old aunt, I ......" Cheng Linyu was poked in the heart, made a big red face, and defended incoherently, "Old aunt, I did come to visit my old aunt, I have nothing else to think about, and the future of a man is to rely on himself to make contributions, not to rely on nepotism to fight, no matter what, you have to have real talent and learning." ”

I heard Xu Shenxing say before that Aunt Cheng has a strange temperament.

When I saw it today, it was ...... Weird, although she was mentally prepared, she was still a little overwhelmed.

"Yu Niang, what your old aunt said is all human nature, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about." Aunt Cheng looked at Cheng Linyu's overwhelmed appearance and comforted, "Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll take you to see Empress Dowager Xiao and let her see the girl from my Cheng family." ”

"Yes!" Cheng Linyu quietly wiped her forehead.

"Aunt Xuan, she's a bit like when you were younger." Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Cheng Linyu left and right, and said in a good mood, "Since you are willing to find a family member to talk to you, the mourning family will allow you to summon her into the palace at any time." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Aunt Cheng knelt down and thanked her.

Cheng Linyu also knelt down and kowtowed.

"Come on, bring the jade Ruyi sent by the emperor before, I have a good relationship with Miss Cheng, so I will reward her!" Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Aunt Cheng with a smile, "I didn't give it to you before, and it's the same for your niece." ”

Aunt Cheng smiled and didn't squeak.

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward, Chitose Chitose Chitose." Cheng Linyu cautiously took Yu Ruyi.

"Aunt Xuan, I remember that you said before that your Cheng family still has a Cheng Fourth girl to be in the boudoir, so it is better to let King Qi accept her as a side concubine, in this way, you have another family member to talk to, right?" Empress Dowager Xiao said, looked at Cheng Linyu again, and was full of praise, "Don't say it, the girl of your Cheng family is indeed the best looking." ”

Miss Cheng Si?

Cheng Linyu's mind immediately appeared Cheng Wanyu's delicate and lovely face, Cheng Wanyu is the granddaughter of her step-grandmother, one year younger than her, this year should have just reached Xuan, but she left the Cheng family since she was a child, and her impression of the Cheng family has long been blurred, and her impression of Cheng Wanyu is still when she went to Wolong Temple to incense the year before last, she accidentally met it once, and her mother told her at that time that it was Cheng Wanyu, the fourth girl of Cheng Wanyu.

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager's gift, the slave and maid will complete this matter as soon as possible." Aunt Cheng looked at Cheng Linyu with crooked eyebrows, "Yu Niang, when your fourth sister enters the palace, you will have a good life." ”

After Cheng Linyu returned home, she told Aunt Cheng's words to Xu Zhen and Second Mrs. Xu.

"In this way, your fourth sister is indeed beneficial to us when she becomes the concubine of King Qi." Xu Zhen thought for a while, turned his head and said to Second Mrs. Xu, "You prepare a generous gift in advance, and when Cheng Wanyu comes out of the pavilion, send it to the Cheng family, you can't write two Cheng characters in one stroke, we have to move the relatives of the Cheng family around." ”

"Got it." Second Lady Xu nodded again and again.

At night, Xu Shenxing went back to the house to rest, and asked Cheng Linyu coldly: "Do you think that Empress Dowager Xiao treats Aunt Cheng a little differently?" ”
