At this time, Taiwei Qin sent someone to ask his grandson, and Mrs. Qin wanted to go with him, for fear that her son would be punished by his grandfather.

Qin Hao was fearless: "I didn't do anything wrong, I won't accept it, don't worry, my grandfather can't beat me, he is still confused." ”

Seeing his brother leave, Qin Ying saw that his mother had returned to him, and said with distress in his eyes: "Although the matter of harmony has come to an end, I will then give your brother Zhang Luo's marriage, and give you Zhang Luo's marriage, and your brother will not do it, but because of this incident, you will inevitably be affected by talking about marriage in the future." Shadow, don't be sad, my mother will definitely have everything for you. ”

Qin Ying said: "If you don't get married, I will be happy to stay at home with my mother for the rest of my life and take care of the family business for you." ”

Mrs. Qin said: "How can it be done, girls have to get married, and if you have a husband in the future, someone will protect you." ”

Qin Ying avoided her mother's gaze and whispered: "I don't think so, why do women have to rely on men to protect them." ”

"What did you say?" Mrs. Qin didn't hear it, and there was still a smile on her face, "Ying'er, what kind of man do you like, from literature to martial arts, it is not easy to be both civil and military, those are all top-notch talents." Like Zhu Rong of the Zhu family, he couldn't even look down on the daughter of the capital, so he married a country girl. ”

Qin Ying said: "Mother, the third sister-in-law of the Zhu family will teach me to read after that, don't talk about others." ”

Mrs. Qin hurriedly covered her mouth: "Yes, yes, my mother is not good, don't say it." ”

Qin Ying asked, "Should you return the gifts sent by the various prefectures?" ”

Mrs. Qin was puzzled: "How inappropriate is this?" ”

Qin Ying said: "This gift is not famous, and it is not easy for each family now, and it costs money everywhere during the Dragon Boat Festival, and we are not greedy for this cheapness." If you go and retreat seriously, people will naturally accept it, and there is nothing inappropriate. Mother, please go and fetch the steward, and I will give orders. ”

The housework in the house has always been taken care of by her daughter, and Mrs. Qin also obeyed her daughter's wishes.

After that, arranged by Qin Ying, the gifts sent to the Taiwei Mansion a few days ago were sent back to the families intact, and the Duke's Mansion also received a return gift from the Taiwei Mansion.

Chu Xue and Rouyin were playing chess with the old lady with their sisters, Ying Zhi was the leader, Minzhi and Huizhi came up with ideas on the side, but the old grandmother didn't let half of the children, so anxious that the little granddaughters were red.

Sister-in-law Li came with the gift returned by the Qin Mansion, and Chu Xue blamed herself: "Blame me for being too anxious, before the matter has been brushed up, I went with the crowd to send congratulatory gifts." ”

The old lady said: "No wonder you, the people in the capital have always been like this, this time after all, it is a big event to seal the princess, who doesn't want to fight for the first share, they messed up first, and you have to follow the crowd." ”

Huizhi asked curiously: "Grandma, when the queen held a garden poetry meeting for the first time, the Marquis of Nanping Mansion was the first person to take leave, and the saying that she was afraid that her own girl would be chosen to be married came from their house." Now that the emperor and queen choose their family, is it too ruthless? ”

Min Zhi said on the side: "I remember the sister of the Liang Mansion, she is very easy to get along with. ”

The old lady said: "There are naturally things we don't know about here, but I think that the emperor and the queen will never be strong." ”

She looked at Chu Xue and ordered: "Prepare a generous gift for the Liang Mansion, be grand." ”

Chu Xue said: "I heard Pingluo say, Fuyi can be home tonight, if she rests well tomorrow, I will take her to give gifts in person, and by the way, I will also see the situation at that house." ”

When several girls heard that the third sister-in-law was coming back, they left their chess pieces and ran away.

The old lady wondered, "What's the matter, what are they going to do?" ”

Rouyin smiled: "Before Fuyi went out, I assigned homework to my sisters, these days, they patronize and play, where do they remember their homework." ”

The old lady said angrily: "It's all sisters-in-law, you just have to spoil it, and call Fuyi to be a bad person, how to make it." ”

It was day and night, Zhu Rong personally came to the south gate to go down the convenience, waited for an extra hour, and after receiving the help and peace, the forbidden army guarding the city closed the bridge and locked the door.

As soon as Pingli saw his brother, he asked how the matter of the family was, and Zhu Rong said with regret on his face: "The emperor has decreed that when the Yongluo Kingdom sends a delegation to welcome the relatives, Princess Yong'an will get married." ”

"What Princess Yong'an?" Pingli's eyes were scarlet with anger, and he turned around to leave with impetuousness, "I won't let her kiss, brother, don't blame me for ......"

Zhu Rong grabbed the angry little wild horse: "What, the girl of the Hou family in Nanping is also your sweetheart?" ”

"I've said everything, it's nothing to do with my sweetheart, I ......" Pingli roared for half a sentence, and was suddenly stunned, "Nan? Nanping Marquis Mansion? ”

Zhu Rong said: "The Liang family of the Marquis of Nanping was canonized as Princess Yong'an, replacing the eldest princess and relatives, do you have any objections to this matter?" ”

Fu Yi was also frightened, and slapped her husband's fist hard: "Really, how can you scare your brother so much?" ”

Pingli jumped away, stuck his waist, and glared at his brother angrily, but with an irrepressible smile on his face, he confirmed to his brother again more cautiously: "Really? ”

Zhu Rong shook his head: "Although my brother hasn't done anything, the matter has been decided, and your second brother has already started to be busy with the canonization ceremony of Princess Yong'an." ”

Pingli was happy now, the young man's face couldn't hide something, and his heart overflowed with joy: "Then, then hurry home, my sister-in-law is tired." ”

When I returned to the Duke's Palace, the elders had already gone to bed, and there was no need to ask for greetings, and when everything was settled, I drank bird's nest porridge in the bedroom and read the homework handed in by my sisters.

Zhu Rong returned from washing and persuaded: "Rest for a while, it's so late, I have broken my eyes." ”

"This ink is very new, it must have been driven out today." "The further back they go, the more messy the handwriting becomes, and they go crazy again." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Spare them, I will ask for a favor for my sisters." ”

Fu Yi said angrily: "Co-author, I'm a bad person? ”

Zhu Rong looked pampered and worried: "The carriage is tired, it's hard, I'll rub your waist and legs for you when you get to bed." ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "I'm fine, Pingli is very cautious and careful, don't look at the big grin on weekdays, he is a person who can take care of people, who will be his daughter-in-law in the future, but blessed." ”

But Zhu Rong still put down the things in Fuyi's hand, picked her up, walked back to the bed in his arms, and put it down gently.

Fuyi's eyes were tactful and tender: "It's only been seven or eight days, so you think of me?" ”

Zhu Rong leaned over and kissed her on the lips: "I have experienced it fiercely, how it feels like you are waiting for me at home." ”

Fu Yi held her husband's cheek and smiled deliberately heartlessly: "I rushed all the way, but I didn't feel anything, I didn't have time to think about you." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Duplicity, if you don't want to miss it, are you in such a hurry on the road?" ”

Fu Yi smiled softly, lifted his upper body, and kissed him: "I miss you, I think about you every day and every night, but Brother Rong, I am very happy to be able to go out alone to do errands." More importantly, this incident is also related to the imperial court. ”

Zhu Rong listened with interest: "I was about to ask you, what happened to Empress Dowager Yang?" ”

On that day, the crown princess traveled in micro-clothes, and went to the post house early in the morning to find Fuyi, what she wanted was to ask Fuyi to return to Beijing, and show her heart to the emperor and queen on behalf of her and the former prince.

"From now on, the crown prince and the crown princess will strictly monitor the queen mother's words and deeds, as well as correspondence with the outside world." Fu Yi said, "Originally, they were ruthless, but this time the Queen Mother made it clear to the crown prince that she had not given up the imperial power, which made them feel very uneasy." The crown princess said that they had prepared two paths for themselves, one was to temporarily live in a fief and cut off the contact between the queen mother and the outside world, and the other was to take their children to travel all over the world, and send people back to the capital and hand them over to the emperor's care on the grounds that there was no one to take care of the queen mother. They asked me to convey these words to the emperor and queen together. ”

Zhu Rong's expression was serious: "The Queen Mother really doesn't give up." ”

Fu Yi said: "The eldest lady fell ill after arriving at the fiefdom, and she didn't know about her father's correspondence with her, so it can be seen that she was just a cover. And ......"

Zhu Rong asked, "What?" ”

Fu Yi said: "Her illness was controlled by the Queen Mother, and the eldest lady said that she knew very well in her heart, because she had done the same thing herself." But for now, the concubine will protect her, please rest assured. ”

Zhu Rong let out a long sigh and said, "My father has already gone to the manor, you don't have to worry about it." After a few days, we discussed with the eldest brother whether we should let them move to Xinghuatang. Or, after the mourning period of the first emperor, start rebuilding and repair, and replace the inside and outside with new ones. ”

Fu Yi said: "I will discuss these things with my sister-in-law, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

But seeing that her husband was worried, she sat up and asked gently: "Brother Rong, what's wrong, is there anything else you can't worry about?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "I feel helpless in my heart, the eldest lady has never been able to return to the right path since my mother appeared in this life." Although my grandmother taught me to look at all this open-mindedly, I still can't help but think, what did my mother do when she followed my father, didn't she feel that she had done something wrong? ”

Fu Yi said: "It's because you've been with me for a long time that you think like this, in fact, men and women all over the world don't think it's a strange thing." It is common for men to have wives and concubines, and it is even more proud to have an outer room, and even fewer women can understand why they came to this world. ”

Zhu Rong looked at Fuyi solemnly: "Therefore, big sister and you, we have a long way to go." ”

Fuyi kissed him, and comforted him softly: "Tonight, don't think about it yet, I miss you ......"
