Ping Jue bowed and retreated, walked to the door, and was invited back by Mama Rui.

The old lady advised: "Don't make a show of it first, you just know it in your heart, arrange the day, and grandma will tell you." ”

Ping Jue looked at the gray-haired old grandmother, and when some words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them, and only bowed down and said, "Please rest assured." ”

Mama Rui sent her son out, watched him go to Yuhengxuan, and then returned to her master, thinking about it again and again, she couldn't help asking: "That day my sister-in-law had a dispute, and the slave maid felt strange, our girl is by no means a person who can't hold her breath, and she doesn't bother to quarrel with her sister-in-law at all, and she is even more strange if she is afraid that her nieces will be bad and take them to upbring." ”

The old lady asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Mama Rui said softly: "What's wrong at home, you sent the children away one after another?" ”

The old lady said lightly: "Jingzhou is going to play, Pingjue is going to study, what's so strange about this." ”

Mama Rui said: "Is it a slave and maid who can't be honest?" ”

The old lady looked at her, but said, "Ah Rui, your children and grandchildren have asked to take you back several times, and you can't always live up to their filial piety. You are also old, now the Li family can be in charge of the courtyard alone, everything is taken care of, you see that the weather is cold, in a few days, you can go to your house. ”

Mama Rui said without hesitation: "You don't want to tell me what's wrong, but you can't let me go, Madame entrusted you to me before she died, and I can't break my word." ”

The old lady laughed: "Don't say it, I can't even remember what my mother looked like later, I only remember what she looked like in my eyes when I was a child." ”

Mama Rui said: "Don't divert the topic, just say if you don't want me to go." ”

The old lady shook her head helplessly: "Where do I dare, turn around and you roll around with me, and then rush you out." ”

In the imperial city, the eldest lady arrived at the Hanyuan Palace, saw that the imperial doctor was about to retreat, stopped and asked a few words, and met several princesses and concubines to ask for peace, and the grandmother next to the queen went out to ask you to go back first.

The eldest lady and the grandmother entered the door together, but they heard the strange laughter of yin and yang coming from outside the door, and someone said, "The fourth sister is here?" I thought I wouldn't see you for a while. ”

It is guessed that the four princesses have arrived, and after entering the palace, the eldest lady said to the eldest sister: "It seems that the four princesses are going to be excluded and bullied by the concubines, she is a smart child, but it is a pity that she followed such a stupid mother-in-law." ”

The queen was recuperating on the beauty couch, and when she heard about the things outside the hall, Huo Ran got up and walked straight out of the door. The palace maids chased them out with windbreakers, but the queen ordered them to retreat, wrap themselves in windbreakers, and walk out with only the lady in charge.

Sure enough, outside the middle palace, the young concubines were sneering at the four princesses, saying that the palace was cold and damp, and the daughter-in-law should serve it.

The second princess sneered: "I talked to His Royal Highness about this matter, he sighed that the fourth brother and you are too ruthless, if something like this happens to our mother, even if our husband and wife kneel and die outside the hall, we will have to intercede for our mother, you husband and wife, why are you all right?" ”

The second prince was born from the servant girl of the prince's mansion, and his biological mother has not even been affected by the nine concubines so far, and the status of their husband and wife in the royal family and the court can be imagined.

On the contrary, in addition to not having the title of prince, the four princes are superior to each other among the brothers and sisters.

But this time, the emperor made it clear in public that it would not affect the four princes, and the husband and wife would be on an errand as they were and enjoy the royal treatment, and of course the queen must strictly implement the emperor's will, and there would be no bullying in the palace.

The eldest lady was worried about the eldest sister's body, so she came out, and when she stood in the palace gate, she heard the queen's lecture, she quietly looked, several princesses and princesses knelt on the ground, but the four princesses stood aside.

The queen said: "What should be said, that's all it takes, if anyone talks about this matter again, the palace rules will deal with it, and there will be no mercy, you each go back and think about it behind closed doors for three days." ”

Everyone trembled and kowtowed to receive the order, and hurriedly left with their heads drooped one by one, and the queen said to the four princesses alone: "Although the fault is not yours, it is your mother after all, and it is inevitable that you must be cautious in your words and deeds during this time, and try to avoid right and wrong." The emperor and the concubine have a deep affection, and after a few days, they will naturally take back their lives, so until then, just endure it. ”

The four princesses saluted the queen, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and strong, and the eldest lady saw that the queen was coming back, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and stood aside.

When Empress Yang entered the door and saw her sister, she shook her head and said, "What are you doing here, let people see it, it's not a proper system." ”

The eldest lady hugged the eldest sister and said, "I'm afraid of your kindness, those two children are not rare, and I feel that you have harmed the concubine to this extent." ”

Empress Yang said: "But I am the mother of a country, and they are all my children." ”

The eldest lady smiled and said nothing.

Empress Yang returned to the dormitory, sat back on the beauty couch, rubbed her swollen forehead, and sighed: "You and I are compatriots of the same mother, and my father and mother have the same teaching, fortunately, I married the prince at the beginning, otherwise if you and I change, what will happen to you now?" ”

The eldest lady glanced at her sister and said unconvinced: "My sister looks down on me like this? I'm just destined to have no children, if I have to say it, is it because of the chaos in the Duke's Palace? What am I not taking care of? ”

Empress Yang was helpless and closed her eyes with difficulty: "In the eyes of others, you may be a high-ranking duchess, in my eyes, you are still that willful and stubborn little sister, dozens of years old people have not learned their serious skills, and they are all confused." ”

The eldest lady was not convinced, and it was not easy to resist, so she went to the side to help with the filter medicine, remembered the things at home, and said: "The mother who said that she was here, such a person with no rules, came to the door after dark, and did not know what to say, and said something scholarly." ”

The queen asked, "Her father didn't come?" ”

The eldest lady nodded: "I brought a nurse, I heard that she looked shabby, walking on the street, if she is a relative of the Duke's Palace, people only think they are crazy." ”

Empress Yang rubbed her head, she had one thing in her heart, that is, in her sister's opinion, it didn't matter, the girls of the Zhu family all followed Princess Jing.

At this moment, in the Zhongguo Mansion, Yunzhi had already returned to his parents' house, because Min Yanshi was called by the people from the household department early in the morning, and he couldn't follow to greet him.

Yun Zhi and Mrs. Yan hit it off at first sight, very intimate, she envied Fuyi to have such a gentle and beautiful mother, and was even more moved by Mrs. Yan who came all the way to visit her daughter despite the hard work on the road.

The second lady reluctantly came to show up today, but she only sat down and left, but the third lady temporarily let go of the sadness of the difference between her and Huizhi, and talked and laughed with Mrs. Yan.

said that she was also a daughter-in-law who married from afar, but she had never been wronged, and said to Mrs. Yan: "Don't worry, there is no one in the family who doesn't like this child, you gave birth to a good daughter." ”

Having said that, Mrs. Yan knew in her heart that she might not be able to see her daughter's in-laws today.

She can not care, and she doesn't care about being looked down upon, but she wants to be in this family for a lifetime, and if she can't get along with each other all the time, her daughter will have to suffer and be wronged after all.

Before lunch, Yunzhi and the third lady took their mother-in-law to walk in the garden, and Fuyi stayed with her grandmother alone, and the old lady mentioned it, wanting her to take Pingjue back to Kishu to study.

Fuyi knows that my grandmother is also looking forward to sending away one more.

"It's just that the sisters are leaving, and if Ping Jue is leaving, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." Fu Yi said, "We must have a legitimate excuse, so that even if the emperor puts pressure on my father, my father has something to say, and I can't let my father be embarrassed in front of the emperor." ”

The old lady sighed: "It's hard for you to think about him, but it's a pity that he doesn't deserve it." ”

I saw Sister-in-law Li come in and said, "Old lady, the son of the Mu family is here, saying that he heard that his in-laws have come to Beijing, and he has come to greet him." ”

The old lady smiled: "This kid is really welcome, he really thinks of himself as a member of this family." ”

This is naturally a pampering and liking words, the old lady has always regarded Kaijiang as her own grandson, so she has to order someone to go to the garden to invite people back, and said: "Grandma, I'll take Kaijiang to go, there are just some words to entrust him." ”

The old lady bowed her head, ordered someone to follow, and wanted to help Kaijiang stay at home for lunch.

Kaijiang hasn't seen Fuyi for a few days, have you seen it, looked her up and down generously, and said with a smile: "I still can't see anything, I still want to be in front of that person in the future, Fuyi, how are you doing?" ”

Fu Yi said suddenly: "Everything is fine, my mother is in the garden, I will take you to meet." ”

As she spoke, she motioned for Citron and Cuizhu to take people farther away, naturally if she had important words, she entrusted Kaijiang to convey them to her husband.

"My father forbade me to exchange letters with Brother Rong, and I can't hurt the dispute, and now his every move is under my father's eyes." Fuyi said to Kaijiang, "Please come to the house often, just ask your grandmother to say goodbye and pass some letters for me." ”

Kaijiang happily agreed: "It's not difficult, if I don't come, my mother can come." ”

Fu Yi said: "There is one more thing, I, an outsider, shouldn't talk too much, but I have a game with the county lord's sisters, you and Brother Rong's brothers, we don't talk about it, and no one else can say it." ”

Kaijiang looked at Fuyi and said with a wry smile: "What did the county lord ask me for?" ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "It's just my own thoughts, and the county lord understands everything in his heart, she just ......"

Kaijiang was a little nervous: "Just what?" ”

Fu Yi said: "The county lord does not regret her decision, but her mind has not changed, you have repeatedly avoided her recently, making her so sad, open the territory, don't misunderstand." ”

Kaijiang said: "Thank you, but please don't tell the county lord what I said today, Fuyi, it's not that I'm ruthless, but the emperor, he found out about the matter between me and the county lord." ”

Fu Yi immediately looked solemn: "Sure enough, I guessed a few points." ”

Kaijiang said: "Right now, I only hope that the county lord will leave Beijing as soon as possible, and I will be relieved that she is gone." ”

Fu Yi asked: "Then what about you, it's better to go away, like Brother Rong, go to the border, you are in the palace, and the county lord is not at ease." ”

Kaijiang smiled and said: "That can't be done, I have to stay with the emperor." ”

Fu Yi didn't understand what he meant, and just when Yunzhi and the others came back, Lao Yuan greeted him: "Brother Kaijiang, we are talking about you." ”

When the group met, Kaijiang respectfully greeted Mrs. Yan and said, "If you haven't met your aunt, how can you mention me?" ”

The third lady smiled: "Saying that the girl in Jizhou is good, I want to ask my mother-in-law to find a daughter-in-law for Pingli, your sister Yunzhi said that Brother Kaijiang has not yet been settled." Kaijiang, go and invite your mother too, we can discuss big things. ”

Kaijiang was busy: "Auntie, please spare me." ”
