Fu Yuanqing thought about it again and again, thinking that she was determined to become the second princess, and she had to reveal some of it to her sister Fu Yuanhua.

It's not because there shouldn't be anything hidden between the sisters, but because she must have used Fu Yuanhua to help her on the way to compete for the second princess.

Not to mention that there is also a Fu Yuanyuan who can't make people sleep well, she is also a phoenix, and she must not have contact with the second prince, or even any prince.

Preferably –

Fu Yuanqing's eyes were dark.

Only by completely stepping on Fu Yuanyuan into the mud and twisting it into pieces can he prevent future troubles.

She is just a boudoir girl, and even with the help of her parents, she still can't stretch her fists and feet to do many things.

In this case, Fu Yuanhua's help is indispensable.

Fu Yuanhua, who staggered away, how did he know that Fu Yuanqing had so many thoughts in his heart?

The fact that Fu Yuanqing favored the second prince alone was enough to shock her for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.

It was not long before the day of the birthday of the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion.

The Pingguo Mansion was taken by the Liu family to Fu Yuanqing, Fu Yuanhua and Fu Yuanyuan to the Zhenguo Mansion to celebrate his birthday.

"Your aunt and grandmother will be fifty years old this year," Liu sat in the carriage and looked at his two green daughters with appreciation, "There must be countless people who went to the Zhenguo Mansion today to celebrate their birthdays." ”

Fu Yuanhua was wearing pink clothes today, as delicate as a peach blossom in March, she smiled and said: "Grandma has always been happy, so many of us went to celebrate her birthday, I am afraid that her old man will feel that her ears are not clean for several days." ”

"You're naughty!" Liu was amused by Fu Yuanhua, and reached out to pat her hand, "When you get to the Zhenguo Mansion in a while, you have to make your aunt and grandmother happy." ”

"Grandma sincerely worships the Buddha on weekdays," Fu Yuanqing said gently, "It is our blessing to treat our children and grandchildren with kindness and care." ”

Fu Yuanyuan sat on the side, and did not interject in the conversation between the three of Liu's mother and daughter.

If it weren't for knowing from the memories of the original owner's previous life that today's birthday banquet was wonderful, she wouldn't have planned to come to attend at all.

The birthday of the Fu Yuanqing sisters' aunt has little to do with her.

It's just the birthday banquet of the Zhenguo Mansion, as the second daughter of the Pingguo Mansion, Fu Yuanyuan is among the invites.

If there is something to play, naturally don't miss it as well.

Moreover, Fu Yuanqing, who is a phoenix, judging from the memory of the original owner's previous life, married the second prince and became a concubine.

The Zhenguo Mansion is the foreign home of the second prince's mother and concubine, and the second prince will definitely go to the Zhenguo Mansion today to celebrate his birthday.

Fu Yuanyuan closed his eyes and pondered.

As a phoenix but became the second princess, the prince in his previous life was afraid that he did not become the son of heaven in the end.

Thinking of Qin Ze's indifferent face, a trace of regret flashed in Fu Yuanyuan's heart.

About half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion.

Sure enough, as Liu said, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the door was like a city.

There are many people who come to celebrate the birthday, and the gifts for the birthday are transported to the Zhenguo Mansion without seeing the end of the car, which shows the high status of the Zhenguo Mansion in the court and the deep influence among the officials.

After entering the Zhenguo Mansion, the female dependents were led to the backyard garden by the maidservants wearing a uniform blue and vermilion belt.

Because the auspicious time for the birthday has not yet arrived, the guests are entering the house one after another, so many noble ladies and noblewomen are chatting in groups in the backyard garden while enjoying the flowers.

At this time, in the courtyard where the old lady of Zhenguo lived, Concubine Hui was talking to the old lady.

"Mother, Xu'er is sixteen years old this year," Concubine Hui Guifei is well-maintained, there is not a trace of wrinkles on her delicate face, and her perennial pampering and high position make her involuntarily carry a trace of the posture of a superior even if she talks to her mother, "The daughter thought that she should find him a good family. ”

"There are many famous and noble women who come to congratulate you on your birthday today, and my daughter wants to take this opportunity to choose among them. What do you think? ”

The old lady of Zhenguo turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and her half-closed eyebrows concealed her dissatisfaction with her daughter who went straight to the point without even saying a word of birthday congratulations.

That's it, she has pampered her daughter who grew up since she was a child, and she married into the royal family and became a concubine above ten thousand people under one person, how can she not know what kind of temperament.

The old lady exhaled lightly and asked, "Xu'er's choice of concubine is indeed a big deal. Do you have a favorite person? ”

Facing her mother-in-law, Concubine Hui naturally had no scruples, and said bluntly: "There are many noble girls in the capital, and my daughter is touching and touching, but I think there are a few girls who are not bad." ”

The old lady became interested, opened her eyes slightly and looked at Hui Guifei: "Which girls are they?" ”

"The lord of Yuqing County of Dingshan Wangfu is dignified and decent, both moral and artistic, and his daughter is quite fond of it."

Concubine Hui sipped her tea, and the corners of her mouth smiled, "Mrs. Zhou's granddaughter Zhou Fangqian is talented, ice clear and jade, and she is also very good. ”

The Buddha bead in the old lady's hand paused, and after a moment of silence, she understood that Concubine Hui valued the forces behind the Dingshan Palace, as well as the reputation of Mrs. Zhou.

Both of these are what Qin Xu, who is the second prince, needs.

Silently lowering her eyes, the old lady remembered what her niece said when she came to visit her not long ago, that is, the lady of the Pingguo Mansion, Liu.

is talking about wanting Fu Yuanqing to marry the second prince and be the princess.

If it weren't for the ability of Fu Pingshan, the prince of Pingguo, I am afraid that he would have no future in the future, with the family background of the Pingguo Mansion, it is actually enough for Fu Yuanqing to be assigned to the second prince as the princess.

It is not surprising that Concubine Hui Guifei did not take a fancy to the Pingguo Mansion.

After all, the Pingguo Mansion and the second prince are related in the end, and in the eyes of Concubine Hui, it belongs to the scope of the second prince's help.

The second prince chose a concubine, which was naturally more suitable to win over the forces that were not within the scope of help.

The old lady could understand, but she didn't think so.

Fu Yuanqing is her own niece and granddaughter, if one day the second prince can really ascend to that position, the master of the harem is his own family and not his own family, then the difference is big.

Although Concubine Hui is her daughter, she is still the daughter of the Liu family in the end, and she will inevitably have her own selfishness.

Moreover, in her opinion, the assistance given by the Pingguo Mansion is not too different from the two families that Concubine Hui has a fancy for.

So, she pondered and said, "The two girls you said are naturally excellent. However, my mother thinks that Yuan Qing is not bad, whether it is morality or talent, she can't lose to those two girls. ”

Concubine Hui was stunned, and when her eyebrows moved slightly, she understood what the old lady meant, and said with a smile: "My daughter has watched Yuanqing grow up since she was a child, and she knows that she is the best girl. ”

"Hey, only when you become a mother do you know how much trouble you have to worry about your children," she put down the teacup in her hand, "Mother, do you know that Xu'er still has her own ideas about choosing a concubine." ”

The old lady sighed in her heart.

Her daughter is no longer at the age of obedience, and as a mother, she can't insist on swaying her daughter's thoughts.

As long as her daughter doesn't object, this matter will have a chance to be figured out.

Thinking of this, the old lady asked with a smile, "What does Xu'er think about choosing a concubine?" ”
