The next day, Daiyu took her two children into the palace and told Concubine Rong about yesterday's chrysanthemum banquet in detail, "I look at the girl of the Liu family is very good, although she is born not to say that the fish and geese are sinking, but her appearance is also passable, no worse than a few sisters-in-law." The key prince said that the Liu family is good, the cultivation is passed down from generation to generation, and the descendants are good at conduct, which is a man. ”

Concubine Rong became interested when she heard this, and said to Daiyu, "I'll call someone to come and see, you will go back later." ”

After noon, Liu Chen's wife Jiang came in with her daughter, Concubine Rong looked at the mother and daughter dressed very plainly, but their speech and demeanor were extraordinary, and they also felt that Daiyu's ability to see people was good, so she kept it and said some gossip, about an hour later, seeing that there was nothing to say, Jiang got up and said goodbye, Concubine Rong took off a gold bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Liu Ruhui, "I didn't prepare any meeting gifts, I like this child, you should take her into the palace to talk to me in the future." ”

Jiang was flattered, and hurriedly led her daughter to kowtow and thank you, Concubine Rong said, "Princess Qin will send it for me!" ”

Daiyu came back after sending her mother and daughter out, and asked Concubine Rong, "Mother also thinks it's very good, right?" ”

Concubine Rong nodded, "It's a good boy." ”

As he was talking, a report came from outside the palace, saying that the Duchess of Qi asked to see him. Concubine Rong suddenly felt a headache, and said to Daiyu, "I wanted to keep you for dinner, but who knows, your aunt is here, I won't stay, you take the two children back, come back another day!" ”

For a while, Daiyu left, the Liu family came in, and after saluting Concubine Rong, she didn't have time to greet her, so she couldn't wait to say, "Imperial concubine, it's not that I said your daughter-in-law, she is really too good at being a person. It's all her grandmother's aunts and grandmothers, but like us, she doesn't invite any of them. ”

Concubine Rong knew something was wrong, smiled a little, and let out a meaningful sigh, "Oh, who said something in front of my sister-in-law, isn't it?" ”

"What do you say? What is there to say? I'm also the prince's aunt anyway, they all say that Uncle Lang is close, breaking bones and tendons, originally we and Brother Zhen are also close, since she entered the door, these years have gone farther and farther, she is good, the palace and the Lin family, and the Jia family have become close relatives, even Princess Nan'an said that her bowl of water is not even, it is really too much. ”

Concubine Rong had already spoken, and couldn't help sneering, "The Lin family is her mother's family, she grew up in the Jia family, her mother only gave birth to her, the Lin family doesn't even have a concubine, she will inevitably kiss the girls of the Jia family, this is nothing." Moreover, in the years since she married into the palace, there have only been a handful of flower meetings. Not to mention other palaces, let's just say that in the ordinary Xungui family, which one is not today's flower party, tomorrow's wine party, and the day after tomorrow to save a game to play cards, but there is no one like her to socialize? ”

Concubine Rong felt a little tired and waved her hand, "Don't talk about her anymore, you just say that you are here, what's the matter!" ”

Liu Shi squirmed for a while and said, "It's nothing else, I see that the Thirteenth Master and the Lin family are both older, and they are the same age as our Brother Zhang, are they all talking about marriage?" ”

Concubine Rong smiled, "Exactly, I wonder if Brother Zhang has some eyebrows?" ”

Concubine Rong has the heart to say a good girl to Brother Zhang, but this matter also requires Liu's cooperation.

Liu said, "I have already taken a good look at the family, the girl of that family, she has good looks and good character, but her family background is not good." The old man also said that it was a pity, so I said, what do people like us do in charge of the girl's family background? In the future, I will always have to go out, I will marry in, my mother's family will move around a lot, my mother's family is not good, and I don't come and go! ”

As soon as Concubine Rong heard this, she felt that something was wrong and asked, "Whose family is it?" ”

Liu said happily, "It's the sixth girl of Wu'anbo Mansion, although she said that her background is a little lower, she can be raised in front of the old lady from a young age, the old lady said, the sixth girl is out of the cabinet, she is going to pay half of the dowry, and the imperial concubine also knows that the old lady and the queen mother are sisters......"

Concubine Rong's eyes were black, and she almost fainted, Yuzheng hurriedly supported her, and her whole body trembled with fright, "Niangniang, Niangniang, you have to hold on, you can't fall!" ”

Concubine Rong calmed down and waved her hand at the jade zheng, "I'm fine!" He said to Liu again, "Say, what is going on?" Can you exchange the Geng post? ”

"Swapped, I entered the palace today to ask for a reward from my mother, if I can have the will to give marriage, of course it would be great."

Concubine Rong's face turned pale and smiled desolately, "Such a big thing, my sister-in-law actually said now that Brother Zhang doesn't walk around much with me when he is young, but he is my nephew, and I only know about such a big thing." ”

She was extremely tired, and she wanted to stand up with her support on the table, but she sat down and staggered, "Since Mrs. Wu Anbo and the Queen Mother are sisters-in-law, this can be regarded as the marriage of the aunt and granddaughter of the in-laws, and it is the same to ask the Wu Anbo Mansion to ask the Queen Mother for a decree." ”

Liu didn't understand what was wrong with Concubine Rong, and wanted to ask about her body, but he knew that there were many taboos in the palace, so he didn't dare to ask, so he had to say, "Wu'anbo Mansion went to ask for it, but the Empress Dowager said that although it was Wu'anbo's Mansion to marry a daughter, it was also a daughter-in-law from the Qiguo Mansion, and this will was still better from Jingyang Palace. ”

Concubine Rong said weakly, "Having said that, I'm also uncomfortable at this moment, sister-in-law should go out of the palace first!" ”

Liu was scared, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, and ran away as soon as he smoked.

Concubine Rong collapsed on the couch, Yu Zheng was frightened, and hurriedly wanted to call the imperial doctor, but was stopped by Concubine Rong, she took Yu Zheng's hand and said with tears, "You are the maid who followed me when she was a child, so many years, from the Qi State Mansion to the palace, Yu Zheng, you can talk about it, for so many years, I am for the Qi State Mansion, can I draw it?" ”

Yu Zheng knelt on the ground with a puff, "Niangniang, the slave maid is the son of the Duke of Qi Mansion, and she followed Niangniang from the Duke of Qi to this palace, and has been by Niangniang's side for so many years, and the slave knows that other Niangniang have her mother's help, but it is Niangniang, and she always has to pull her mother's family, Niangniang is really not easy!" ”

Concubine Rong was weak, "Didn't I ask you if it was not easy for me, did you only say that I was a good deal over the years?" ”

Yu Zheng was speechless, so she had to comfort, "Niangniang, I don't want to do this, whether the Mansion of Qi is good or not, it doesn't have much to do with Niangniang, you often say, you have only seen a son sacrifice to his mother, and he has never seen a nephew worship his aunt, Niangniang thinks more about the prince, think about the two little sons!" ”

Concubine Rong smiled with tears, "Yes, I often comfort myself with those words, but I just extricate myself." But I always can't forget when the old man died, he took my hand and said, 'Your brother is not angry, I entrust this family to you, I don't ask your brother to win glory for the ancestors, but I can't let this family lose like this', after so many years, I hold on like this, it's really tiring! ”
