Just as Fu Yi and Zhu Rong were worried, the news had already reached the imperial city at the same time, Xiang Qi received Yang's letter, and looked at Han Zhi who was asleep, the person who was tortured by the victim was exhausted, and he was sleeping heavily at the moment, and he couldn't bear to wake up his wife.

But the next morning, before the court, the emperor still gave Hanzhi a letter from the Empress Dowager Yang.

She sat under the window and watched twice, then raised her eyes to see the palace maid wearing a dragon robe who served the emperor, and ordered: "You stand down, I will come." ”

Everyone left in response, Xiang Qi tidied up his sleeves and said, "The Queen Mother didn't say that you would go to see you for the last time, she just wanted to reunite the husband and wife." ”

Han Zhi tied a jade belt for her husband and said: "My mother is infatuated with my father, and because of this, the existence of Rong'er and his mother has made her suffer for a lifetime. Heli is just to let her leave the Zhu family justifiably, but her heart is afraid that she will not be able to let go for the rest of her life. ”

Xiang Qi walked to the mirror, put on the crown, and said: "Rong'er put his father-in-law under house arrest and cut off all contact with the outside world, they will never let his father-in-law go to see his mother easily." I once warned Rong'er not to interfere with his father-in-law's behavior, but he was obedient to his face and turned his back, and still did what he thought. ”

Han Zhizhi: "They also had to do it as a last resort, knowing that Zhu Chengqian was going to drag the whole clan to death, how could they not stop it?" ”

The emperor was neatly dressed, showed it to Han Zhi, and after slowly turning around, he said: "I don't blame him, this is also a test for him, although Rong'er is smart and capable, he is a pillar of talent, but he is too easy to be emotional, and he is not suitable for a foothold in the court." ”

Han Zhidao: "So God sent him a word of support, I heard that this matter, it was a help to come forward to deal with it, and that girl was decisive and ruthless." ”

"Don't let her just be a virtuous helper and take her the way you want to go." He helped Hanzhi sit down, "Let Rong'er investigate and deal with it, if your mother-in-law is really seriously ill, I will personally send you to see you." ”

Hanzhi shook his head: "Before parting, I have already made a decision in my heart, if it is not for a coincidence, I will never meet deliberately again, I have nothing to say to my mother." ”

The emperor said gently: "Send the best imperial doctor, I know that you will miss her when you have worked hard these days." ”

Hanzhi said: "It's just that I was so sad during pregnancy, and I didn't really miss it that much, and when I was busy, I couldn't take care of it." ”

Xiang Qi said: "Then I will leave the matter of peace with Yongluo to you, and choose a woman of appropriate age from the nobles of the family and be named a princess, instead of Yaonian and relatives." ”

Han Zhi said: "Forcibly choose which one, I am afraid that I will be resentful and leave trouble." In the past few days, many people have come to tempt, and some families are looking forward to their daughters marrying instead of Yao Nianyuan in order to get the favor of the emperor, or they will choose from these people's families. ”

Xiang Qi bowed: "You look at it, but you also have to be careful about your character and appearance, after all, it is the decency of Daqi." ”

After that, not long after the emperor ascended to the dynasty, Hanzhi got news from home, saying that the old lady was sick in bed, and Zhu Chengqian, as the eldest son, had to take care of his mother, and could not go to the fief of Empress Dowager Yang for the time being.

After Hanzhi learned about it, she cooperated with the imperial doctor to visit her grandmother in the house, and she knew that Rong'er must be delaying time and wanted to find out first.

If her mother was really seriously ill, how could Hanzhi not care at all, but if not, what the Yang family was planning should make her feel cold.

Although her aunt withdrew from the struggle for imperial power with dignity, she must be unwilling, Han Zhi knows too well this aunt who once took herself to stand on a high place to look down on the world, and whenever she meets a Ming Jun, she will become a queen who will be recorded in history and left a name through the ages.

In this way, after sending the imperial doctor to the Duke's Palace, Hanzhi made another will to Fuyi, and advanced the day of the second garden poetry meeting to after the palace test, and at the same time released a rumor that the princess who would go to Yongluo and his relatives would be selected at the garden poetry meeting on that day.

In the Taiwei Mansion, Qin Ying received a new post, and the garden party was in advance, which made her overjoyed, but soon, her grandmother and mother came to see her, and persuaded her with good words: "Don't go this time, there was a rumor last time, and this time she didn't run away, the queen wants to choose someone from the young girls to replace the eldest princess and her relatives." ”

Qin Ying looked at her grandmother, remembered her grandfather's words that night, and remembered the increasingly scarce furniture in the house, if she went to make peace, she would be able to support the family for another few decades.

"My hands are burned like this, the emperor and the queen will not choose me." Qin Ying said, "Grandma, if you think about it this way, I'm not messing around." ”

Mrs. Qin immediately became happy and said to her mother-in-law: "No, mother, how did I forget, Ying'er's hand has become like this, I can't choose her." ”

After a little hesitation, Old Madam Qin said helplessly: "If you are willing to go, go ahead, if you can win the favor of the queen, it will also be beneficial to the family and your father and brother in the future." ”

Qin Ying bowed and said, "Grandson must serve the queen well." ”

This morning, Fu Yi was busy conveying the queen's will to the various provinces, sending the posts again, and dealing with the imperial doctors from the palace and the ladies of the various palaces who rushed to visit the old lady after hearing the news.

I was busy with my sister-in-law until noon, and the kitchen delivered lunch to the front hall, but the simple-minded Chu Xue had to visit her grandmother before coming to eat.

was stopped by Fuyi, and whispered to explain the reason, Chu Xue sighed: "If it's true, it's also pitiful, although I am not close to my aunt, but there is no contradiction and grievance, and now, I still hope that her future days will be safe and smooth." ”

Sister-in-law is kind, and she is not vicious, but she doesn't sigh and sigh so much, the Yang family has their plans, and the emperor and empress will also do their best to consolidate the imperial power, what she and Zhu Rong have to do is not to let the family be caught in the middle and sacrifice in vain, which is enough.

The two of them were having lunch, and they saw Huizhi come in and say hello to the sisters-in-law.

Chu Xue asked, "I just heard that Pingli came back before noon?" ”

Hui Zhiying said: "I suddenly ran back, I didn't know what I left behind, I looked for it in the room, and scolded a few little girls, which scared everyone to cry." ”

Fu Yi smiled: "What important thing is missing?" ”

Huizhi really didn't know: "He didn't say anything, he just lost his temper, saying that the maid was not allowed to touch the things in his house casually, and then he left again in the middle of the hour, and turned around to ask the master to catch it, and it was time to come to the house to complain." ”

Chu Xue said angrily: "This kid doesn't worry about it for a day, your big brother is still holding back the fire." ”

Huizhi smiled softly: "I still want my sister-in-law to say more good things in front of my big brother, don't let my brother be beaten again." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Fuyi with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the next trip to the garden is early, is it fun to visit the garden, the second sister said that she will go back next, can you take us with you?" ”

Fu Yi said: "You are too young, there are girls as big as you in various provinces, you go, don't the queen invite them?" If that's the case, there's no bottom, Hui'er, if you want to go around the palace, let's go back to private, and you'll be more comfortable. ”

Huizhi asked curiously: "Then sister-in-law tell me, what did you do at the garden party that day?" The sisters of the provinces, how do you behave? ”

Fuyi glanced at Huizhi, the little sister who has always been well-behaved and gentle, her beautiful eyes flashed a little weak, and her eyes were always rolling uneasily. Cuizhu said that Hui Zhi clearly looked for him several times that night, but when he met him, he said that he was just passing by and wanted to say goodbye.

At this hour, she was supposed to accompany the third aunt in Xiyuan, and she came in a hurry to eat, because she was afraid that she would be busy again for a while and would not have time to deal with her.

Fu Yi said: "It's just a poem against it, talking about what you have seen and heard in various places, and talking about folk customs, which is nothing unusual." ”

Huizhi blinked his eyes and pretended to be relaxed stiffly: "That...... What did they say? ”

Fu Yi said: "Sister-in-law is hungry, let's eat first, and after a while, you come to Qingqiu Pavilion, call your third sister and fourth sister, and then tell you slowly." ”

Huizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile finally became natural: "Okay, then I'll go find the third sister." ”

At the same time, Guozijian's afternoon homework was about to begin, Qin Hao was looking for a reason all over the courtyard, and when he saw him wandering under the wall, he stopped: "You want to go out again?" ”

Ping Li said impetuously: "I lost something, and if I don't look for it, it will really disappear." ”

Qin Hao said: "Don't make trouble, something amazing, your family is so rich, you can't buy it anymore." ”

Pingli was very angry: "You said it lightly, there are things in this world that money can't buy." ”

Qin Hao looked dazed: "What kind of tantrum did you lose, I didn't lose it for you." ”

Seeing someone in the distance urging them to go back to class, he pulled Pingli and walked back, saying, "After school, I'll accompany you to find it." ”

The two of them entered the door and sat down, and when they saw that the people on the side were talking about something, Qin Hao pricked up his ears and listened to a few words, patted Pingli's shoulder and said, "The queen wants to choose someone to replace the eldest princess to kiss." ”

Ping Li didn't care: "It has nothing to do with me." ”

Qin Hao said: "But we all have younger sisters at home. ”

Pingli said angrily: "My three younger sisters haven't reached yet, your family ......"

He suddenly paused and looked at Qin Hao nervously: "How old is your Qin Ying?" ”
