"If I still call my brother a brother, not only will my subordinates look at me indiscriminately as a concubine, but others will also ridicule me for being able to enter the military department because I am stained with my brother's light. Fortunately, the old lady is wise and discerning, regardless of previous suspicions, and gives me ideas. ”

When Wen Duan heard this, he smiled: "The old lady was also angry, I heard that you and I were separated, and you didn't say anything, but you missed several meals. I heard that you were laughed at and rubbed on court affairs, and the old lady was happy for a while. But in the end, the old lady is benevolent, you and I grew up in this mansion, and this mansion is not where we have played. The old lady often touches the scene, and sometimes thinks of you, on the one hand, she hates that you were provoked by her aunt and the Ye family, and on the other hand, she is worried about you, and it is rare to have a good end. So it's a sigh of joy and a sigh. Later, it was I who explained the situation in court affairs to the old lady, and the old lady came up with the idea that you simply distanced yourself from me to the end. The DPRK hates me for stealing the limelight, and if you suppress others for nothing, you will also be wooed. It's just the humanity of the laity, you and my brother, as long as there is discord on the surface, blind date inside, no matter how many storms it has, my Wenfu can always stand. ”

Wen Xu nodded slightly when he heard this, and then sighed again: "I'm afraid this year is not like previous years." The crown prince has returned to Shangroucheng, and the three princes are afraid that they will have to make a big move, and I am afraid that the manpower of the court affairs will also be replaced. ”

"That's not true." Wen Du said: "If you help the third prince, the prince will definitely not hold a grudge against you." The prince is actually very weak in temperament, over the years, he has always avoided trouble, the three princes are powerful, you helped the three princes, but the one who knows the times is just a handsome, the prince will think that you are succumbed to the times. In the future, if the crown prince ascends the throne, not only will he not blame you, but he will also double the retention of you, which is the extraordinary benevolence of the prince. As for the third prince, he has always had no one to himself, and his ruthlessness is not counted, and his personality is also cut to the roots. If you help the crown prince, you will inevitably be hit by the three princes. Over the years, you and my brothers have been at odds with others, and those who have wooed you inside are people from the Three Princes' faction, if you help the Prince, those who have attracted you in the past will immediately abandon you, and the staff under the Three Princes will strike at you. Since I have pretended to be at odds with you, it will be difficult for me to help you, and I am afraid that you will be left alone. For a while, you should be perfunctory with the three princes. ”

Wen continued to hear this, thought about it carefully, and then nodded, "What my brother said is reasonable. The incident of Chaoyunguan back then, everyone knows that it is tragic, the three princes are ruthless, over the years, although they have shown their soft and kind side everywhere, they are just playing with others, and the ruthlessness in essence has not changed. If the Three Princes force our subordinates to make a choice, I can only succumb to the Three Princes for the time being. ”

Twilight nodded her head.

In the Qinyin Pavilion, Aunt Ruan coughed dizzily, and a light gray double-layer jacket embroidered with plum blossoms made her face even paler, sweat dripping, rolling on her forehead and cheeks.

"Would you like to drink some hot water?" The maid Caisang said softly: "The slaves and maids are boiling hot water. ”

When Aunt Ruan heard this, she shook her head weakly.

The red cotton curtain at the second entrance was opened by a pair of hands, and Jade Butterfly walked in with an angry face, pouting angrily as she walked: "Mingxin Xiaozhu looks down on people, and Mrs. still looks down on people, even a sprinkling slave can laugh at me." ”

When Aunt Ruan heard this, she hid her face angrily and coughed, slapped the couch with her hand, and shouted angrily: "What did you say? What are you talking about? What are you going to do in Mingxin Xiaozhu? What day is it today, Mrs. is busy entertaining Aunt Han and them, it is rude for you to run over for no reason, and for what purpose are you running over, it is a shame. What are you going to do? Is it a joke? ”

Aunt Ruan's face was flushed with anger, she was very angry, and Jade Butterfly was so embarrassed that her face turned red when she saw this, and her face was originally cold, but at this moment, she was sweating, and she couldn't bear it, she was very aggrieved, so she raised her voice and said, "What kind of tantrum did my aunt throw at me!" Who can be like Yujun, you can get special favor anywhere, left and right, Mrs. likes it, and Dad loves it. ”

Jade Butterfly said: "We don't have a small kitchen here, and on the big day of this kind of sacrifice, we are prone to hunger." The breakfast portion is halved, and the lunch is postponed by half an hour, which is too aggrieved. But we don't have a small kitchen, and my aunt is sick again, so I want to beg my wife to give us lunch here in advance, also for my aunt's good, why does my aunt still scold me in the back. ”

When Aunt Ruan heard this, she was so angry that she was stunned, and then a cold sweat came down, and she raised her hand, and her slender fingertips were aimed at the jade butterfly finger, only to feel angry, and said angrily: "You shameful thing, do you want to be angry with me, or who are you going to be angry with?" You're so brazen as to say such things! I'd rather starve to death than lick my face and beg others, will I die of starvation? It's only two or three days a year, and you're so embarrassed about me. ”

Aunt Ruan was born in the workshop, in the past, in the workshop, listened to the swearing words for several years, since she entered the Wenfu, she has been low-voiced, not scolding, now Yuyu Butterfly is so embarrassed, she is really unbearable, and she scolded loudly.

Jade Butterfly was thin-skinned, and couldn't help being scolded like this, and tears fell when she landed, "Why should my aunt scold me, I have never been ashamed, Mingxin Xiaozhu has never opened the door for me, and I have never even seen my face there!" ”

Mingxin Xiaozhu didn't open the door, and Mrs. didn't see her there. When Aunt Ruan heard this, she was so angry that she leaned back straight, her breath was very unstable, and she fell directly on the kang, but she was angry, pointed at the jade butterfly with her finger, and intermittently: "You lost face and threw it to your subordinates." Even the subordinates look down on you! What a shame you are! You want to be the laughing stock of people in the future! ”

When the jade butterfly was said like this, Deng Shi remembered the sharp faces of those subordinates, and he couldn't help but feel suffocated, and tears rolled down when he landed.

Aunt Ruan saw that she looked powerless, and even more hated to turn over and ignore her.

The mother and daughter had nothing to say to each other.

"Miss, the servant has delivered food."

"Deliver food?" Cai Sang glanced at the jade butterfly and muttered in a low voice: "It's strange, isn't lunch postponed for an hour and a half today, why did you send food so quickly?" ”

Jade Butterfly glanced at Aunt Ruan hesitantly, and when she saw that she was still motionless, she said to Cai Sang: "Take the food in." ”

Cai Sang went to pull the curtain, and the little maid Ah Yan walked in with a food box and placed it on the small red plum coffee table next to Jade Butterfly.

Jade Butterfly asked, "Who sent the meal?" ”

"The slave didn't know that it was sent by a little maid with a raw face. The minion asked her, but she still wouldn't say. ”
