Embroidery is similar to meditation. It was Yan Qingge who learned it from that aunt in order to hone his temperament.

The aunt who taught her embroidery said that embroidery must be difficult to learn, and she didn't expect that a young lady like Yan Qingge, who was sick and fat, could learn this penance.

Yan Qingge had also been in the embroidery for a short time before, but this time it was the longest time it was maintained.

Just when Yan Qingge guessed where the eldest princess of Roufu knew about the embroidery, the eldest princess of Roufu on the opposite side spoke.

The eldest princess of Roufu said gently: "When I was in the palace before, I heard the palace people chatting and said, when some embroidery girls do their work, they don't eat or drink, and they don't care about the outside. But this is the first time I've seen the real situation. ”

Yan Qingge was relieved when she heard that the eldest princess of Roufu said that she knew about it in the palace. The aunt who taught her embroidery was originally from the palace.

The two chatted for a while, and Yan Qingge encouraged himself in his heart several times, wanting to ask Yan Xiuyu about the situation, but he stopped talking a few times.

While she was preparing words on her lips, she was a little absent-minded, and before she woke up, a sentence suddenly popped out of her mouth: "Sister-in-law, last time you entered the palace, was Yuan Sheng okay?"

Princess Roufu's expression did not change, and she still said with a smile: "I only saw him once a few days ago. He was very well-behaved, his body was very strong, he held on to the edge of the cradle, and he kept trying to climb down, and he was anxious about the two nurses who served him, for fear that one of them would not stop and he would fall. ”

Yan Qingge regretted it after asking, but after listening to the words of the eldest princess of Roufu, the expression on her face also softened, and she sketched the little face of Yuan Sheng she saw last time in her mind, and couldn't help but imagine Yuan Sheng's naughty picture in her mind.

Lord Yan obviously knew that Yan Xiuyu's child had been replaced by the palace, although he didn't speak on the side, but looking at his expression, he was also quite embarrassed.

Yan Qingge said softly: "Sister-in-law, thank you very much. ”

Sister-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, or Lord Yan spoke first: "Brother and sister, don't panic, not only Yuan Sheng is fine, Xiu Yu also has news in the palace, he lives in Chuxiu Palace, and his life is okay." ”

Yan Qingge sighed and looked at Lord Yan: "Thank you, big brother"

When she was in the palace, she listened to Concubine Shui talk about the situation in various parts of the palace, and the defense of Chuxiu Palace was the most strictly prohibited, as strict as an iron bucket, and the news that she didn't want to release there was difficult to hear elsewhere. If Lord Yan was able to inquire about Yan Xiuyu's situation, he must have put in a lot of hard work.

Knowing the news he wanted to know, Yan Qingge was relieved, stayed for a while, and was supported back by a few maids.

When I entered the door, I saw Aunt Mingxiu kneeling in the main hall.

Aunt Mingxiu lowered her head and was about to go to the soil, and as soon as Yan Qingge saw her like this, she hurriedly said, "Auntie, hurry up." ”

When she still remembered clearly, she finally sent Aunt Mingxiu and Princess Roufu into the palace together, but before she could summon Aunt Mingxiu, because of the stimulation of Yuan Sheng and Yan Xiuyu, and the unstable child in her belly, she simply entered the embroidery, but forgot about Aunt Mingxiu for a while.

Aunt Mingxiu's face was full of shame, and she kowtowed to Yan Qingge and said: "The old slave violated the trust of the mother, and the concubine did not agree to the mother's conditions." ”

"Oh" Yan Qingge was surprised. She wants to return to Yuansheng, and Concubine Shui wants a descendant with the blood of the Shui family to be the eldest grandson of the emperor, which is completely inconflicting, why did Concubine Shui refuse.

"The concubine said that Yuan Sheng is small, and like the rest of the emperors and grandchildren, who knows whether he can raise it or not. The eldest grandson is disabled again, and when it comes down, only the second grandson of the emperor is the best, even if she doesn't take the risk to help her mother, she will get a satisfactory result. If the mother wants to ask her to do something, she must agree to a condition. ”

"What did the water concubine say?"

"The concubine said that unless you can persuade the princess of the loyal king to be willing to go down to the court and become a concubine, I will not be willing to help you."

Yan Qingge didn't expect Concubine Shui to open her mouth so loudly, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disgust.

Because Ling Xiao must be reconciled with Shui Mu, although the two sides are still tugging at war now, Shui Mu's reputation is not as good as before. If Concubine Shui wants to make Princess Shui Mushang, it is better not to damage her reputation, and the possibility of success is relatively large.

If Ling Xiao relented at this time, gave up his status as a wife, and was willing to be a concubine, he would immediately be able to turn Shui Mu's reputation around.

It's a pity that the water concubine thinks too much. Yan Qingge would never agree to this condition.

The anger and coolness in her eyebrows were looked at by Aunt Mingxiu, and Aunt Mingxiu couldn't help but shudder in her heart, fortunately she controlled herself in the palace and did not fall to Concubine Shui again, otherwise if Yan Qingge found out that she was helping Concubine Shui to get tired, she wouldn't know how she died.

Yan Qingge's spirit was not good, so he only wrote a letter to Ling Xiao and asked someone to send it out, so he lost his strength and rested early after eating.

She woke up in the middle of the night and drank half a glass of warm water.

Ask the snow to continue the vigil, and the frost hunt goes out to replace the water in the pot with fresher, so as not to warm it on the fire for a long time and get dry.

In fact, it was not too late at this time, Brother Parrot and Xueyan had not slept yet, as soon as they heard the movement, they hurriedly came over with their clothes, and flattered Xunshuang carried the kettle in his hand, and stammered: "Sister Xunshuang hasn't slept yet, since Niangniang has woken up, how about we take turns to keep vigil in the future." ”

Xunshuang smiled and shook his head: "No need, it's enough for me and Wenxue." The two younger sisters are the top of the mother's heart, unlike us who are used to rough work. ”

They were talking under the window, and Xue Xue coughed softly and said through the window, "Niangniang told you to come in." ”

Brother Parrot and Xue Yan's faces turned pale in an instant.

Yan Qingge couldn't hear what they were saying clearly in the room. But because she went to bed early, she got up and drank another glass of water, and her sleepiness disappeared, and when she heard a voice outside, she asked Wenxue to call someone in to talk for a while.

Seeing Xue Yan and Brother Parrot, who were trembling all over their bodies, like seeing ghosts, Yan Qingge couldn't help but be very strange, knowing that they had ghosts in their hearts, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Brother Parrot and Xue Yan pounced and knelt down: "Niangniang, Danhe's matter has nothing to do with the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids don't know anything." ”

Yan Qingge asked for a long time before he finally figured out the matter of Danhe.

She is not as simple as these two maids' brains, and instantly found that there are layers of suspicions in it, Danhe escaped from home, eighty percent of them were framed by others, as for who laid the trap, it's hard to say.

Yan Qingge had never sat down with the people below, so he asked Brother Parrot and Xue Yan to go down first, and he pondered for a while in front of the candlelight.

She entered meditation and paid no attention to the outside world, which was comfortable at the time, but once she woke up, she found that there were all things around her that needed to be solved.

Not to mention Ling Xiao's side, there is also a mess in the embroidery village. In addition, Yan Xiuyu, Yuan Sheng, and Yan Wan'er are not, maybe Yuan Wan'er is in big trouble.

The most important thing is that now she can't even move casually.

Touching the round belly under his hands, Yan Qingge smiled wryly. This one in her stomach is not an honest, lively and naughty tight, often coldly kicking her, she can't stand after kicking it several times, and she will be born in the future, and she is probably also a devil.

Yan Qingge looked forward to Ling Xiao's reply, but unexpectedly, three days passed, and he didn't receive it.

She couldn't help but be very surprised, and almost wrote another letter, but was told by the eldest princess Roufu who came to visit her that the Ling family was now in a strict curfew, and without the handwritten order of the four princes, everyone could enter and exit.

Yan Qingge estimated that Ling Xiao had seen the letter, but there was no way to send it out.

"It's the Fourth Prince again" Yan Qingge opened his mouth lightly, and looked at the eldest princess of Roufu in disbelief: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't care?"

"The imperial brother was assassinated, and his body has not been well raised, and he has not been to the court for half a year, and the crown prince and the fourth prince have worked for the government. The crown prince is very busy now, and all the capital is in the hands of the four princes. The eldest princess of Roufu said lightly to avoid the serious, and explained a lot of things in one sentence.

Yan Qingge vaguely understood what the eldest princess of Roufu meant: There is such a mess in Beijing, it is all tossed by the four princes, but the general trend of the world is still under the control of the prince. The current situation is just that the prince allowed the four princes to destroy the Great Wall, and when the prince collects it, the four princes are nothing.

But she was still worried, and sometimes, things were not taken for granted. Even if the fourth prince is a fool, he has so many staff and forces behind him, why are they so arrogant, there must be something behind them.

It's just that some words, Yan Qingge, are not suitable.

"By the way, sister-in-law, Xiuzhuang is okay, are you okay?" Yan Qingge asked. She entrusted the embroidery village to the director of Roufu Changgong, which should be no problem, but she still has to ask what she should ask.

The eldest princess of Roufu swept away the smoke and shook her head: "The embroidery girls are almost gone." ”

"What" Yan Qingge raised his eyebrows slightly, in disbelief.

"The Yun's embroidery workshop opened by the fourth prince's mother's family, the business is very hot, and our family's embroidery workshop is closed, and it is not doing business for the time being. Fortunately, they still have a conscience, and they did not leave their children in Yanji Embroidery Village to continue to take care of us. ”

Yan Qingge listened, and there was a corner in his heart that seemed to have collapsed, and it was not a taste in his mouth.

In all fairness, she has done her best to these embroidery girls, and she didn't even let them sign the deed of sale, and taught them how to do embroidery, even if they did poorly, they didn't scold and drive people away.

Later, some of them were greedy for small profits and did private work for people outside, and in theory, they were all in the know, and it was okay to send them out, but she still only punished those involved.

Even so, these embroidery girls still couldn't resist the temptation of interests and left the Yanji embroidery workshop.

It turns out that people's hearts, in this world, which really can't stand the test, are more selfish and less true.

At this moment, Yan Qingge missed Yan Xiuyu incomparably, his heart throbbed when he thought about it, and tears of thought came out of his eyes.
