After swallowing the last mouthful of dry food, Pingli was just about to get up, when he saw a little doll running in front of him with a nest head, raising his hand on tiptoe, and handing it to him with a smile.

The child's mother hurriedly followed, stuffed Pingli with a handful of walnuts, and said: "This is what we picked up from the mountain, there are many of them, and after the military masters came, we all dared to go up the mountain." ”

The mother and son left, and the brother next to him came over and said with a smile: "Are you at home, have you smashed walnuts to eat?" ”

"I didn't get dressed until I was a teenager. ”

They laughed, but they were not hating the rich, they all knew that although Pingli was born rich and noble, he was by no means a gentleman.

"You guys get busy first, I'll go back." Pingli said, "There is something important, I'm afraid we will be separated for a while, but I will come back and rebuild Pingxi Mansion with the people." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and when they heard that the words meant goodbye, one of them patted Pingli's shoulder: "Go, there will always be a goodbye day." ”

Pingli gave the walnuts and dry food in his hands to the brothers, and remembered to send back the porcelain bowl for drinking water, and after a few words of laughter with the villagers and children, he rode his big white horse and galloped to the camp.

In a blink of an eye, Fuyi had been under house arrest by Zhu Chengqian for three or four days, and after Mrs. Yan went to the palace, the mother and daughter could not see each other again.

Today, Princess Min sent someone to spread the word, saying that Mrs. Yan would leave Beijing the day after tomorrow and wanted to go to the palace to live for two days.

The subordinates did not dare to let the young lady go out without the order of the eldest lady, and the words of the old lady did not work now, and the eldest lady ignored it, and the matter froze.

When Zhu Chengqian got the news, he actually went to the palace to meet the princess in person, explaining that Fuyi was not allowed to go out because of the safe pregnancy, and by the way, he met his mother-in-law, and took Mrs. Yan to the house to meet Fuyi.

The mother and daughter were in the capital together, but they saw each other again after a few days, Mrs. Yan didn't say anything in front of Zhu Chengqian, until he left and was alone with his daughter, then asked with red eyes: "What do they want to do to you, did I rush to the capital and provoke them?" ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "Mother leave Beijing quickly, you go home, I can rest assured, the capital is not balanced at the moment." ”

Mrs. Yan was worried: "It's good for my mother to take you away, Yi'er, let's go back to Kishu." ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "The people in the Duke's Mansion are now my family, and I can't leave them behind." Naturally, I can't leave my father and mother behind, but you are in Kishu, and you are protected by the Kishu army, so I am not afraid. But in this capital, the situation in the imperial court is changing rapidly, and if I leave, I will not be at ease in this life. ”

Mrs. Yan looked down at her daughter's lower abdomen: "Don't take care, my mother will go home, I won't tell you these things about my father, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep and eat from now on, but you must not have anything to do, and come home with our eldest grandson as soon as possible." ”

Fu Yi smiled: "There will be no movement in the summer of next year, and I am still thinking that you and your father will go to Beijing to accompany me to give birth." ”

Mrs. Yan was puzzled: "But you didn't mean ......"

Fu Yi stroked his lower abdomen and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, everything is right in front of you." ”

Mrs. Yan didn't understand and didn't dare to ask about the major events in the court, but between husband and wife, she and her husband had been in love all their lives, and now when they see their daughter and son-in-law getting together less and leaving more, their hearts are always unsteady.

I don't know when I can see you again, and the words in my heart are not unhappy, but I said bluntly: "Since you said that everything is fast, my mother also looks forward to the peace of the world, and you and Rong'er can stay together for a long time from now on." You young husband and wife, always separating the two places like this, it's not a way. ”

If you say that you are not sad in your heart, it is a lie, a few days ago, you couldn't sleep well every night, they all missed their husbands, but they have a common belief, this expectation for the future of Daqi, has always supported the heart of help.

"I will go with him to the ends of the earth in the future." Fu Yi smiled, "Naturally, your uncle will also follow me, and we will not be separated again." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a shouting outside, Mrs. Yan got up to look, and saw Yunzhi rushing in, angrily scolding the two mothers-in-law in front of the door: "What are you guys, dare to stop me, in this duke's mansion, there are still places I can't go?" Don't take my uncle to pressure me, my uncle loves me the most, can you still let me see my sister-in-law? ”

Everyone stepped forward to persuade Yun Zhi to be arrogant and domineering, and the two had no choice but to let Yun Zhi enter the door.

She was so angry, she came in all the way and asked, "What's going on at home, who locked you up?" They didn't let me come for the past few days, and they pushed me back, and I was angry. ”

Fu Yi hurriedly sat her down, and coaxed: "My second miss, don't lose your temper, listen to me slowly." ”

Before sunset on this day, Mrs. Yan, accompanied by Yunzhi, came to Xinghua Hall to bid farewell to Zhu Chengqian and his wife.

At that time, the eldest lady was taking her subordinates to open the treasury and find something that the queen wanted.

Since Wang's mother is gone, some of the old objects are very difficult to find, because the maids are clumsy and annoyed, and suddenly Yunzhi came in with a woman of the same age as the third family.

The eldest lady wrinkled her eyebrows, knowing in her heart that this was the woman of the Yan family that she had always wanted to see.

But the person in front of her is different from what she imagined, she is not poor and sour, nor is she cowardly and timid, gentle and demure, beautiful and generous, and what is even more jealous is her youth.

Not only is the skin and flesh on the face white and tender, but it is exuded from the whole body, and there is no breath that has been destroyed by the years.

Naturally, this is Mrs. Yan, who has been reborn after being abused by her mother-in-law, but Yang has never been abused by her mother-in-law, and she is only a few years older than Fuyi's mother, even if she uses the best fat powder in the world, she can't hide her aging.

"Ma'am." Mrs. Yan owed to the Yang family, and said with a smile and gratitude, "Fu Yi is young, and the family has not had time to teach, so he hurriedly married to the capital. She is too young, if the lady blindly dotes on her, she is afraid that she will be spoiled, the Duke's Mansion is such a big family business, and the lady must be strictly taught to help her in the future in order to have a future. ”

The eldest lady smiled coldly, turned around and ordered someone to put away the things, and said angrily: "Yun'er, your eldest uncle is discussing important matters with his colleagues, I am going out here, and I have no time to entertain my in-laws, you take it to the old lady to sit down, and in a few days, we will meet again and sit down for a good meal." ”

Yun Zhi said: "Auntie, she is leaving tomorrow, and I have come to say goodbye to you and my uncle." ”

The eldest lady disagreed: "Let's go, our husband and wife are too busy, so we won't send it." Yun'er, take care of your sister-in-law. ”

Leaving this sentence, the eldest lady took her subordinates and went inside, Yun Zhi was so annoyed, and she couldn't have a seizure, so she hugged Mrs. Yan and said: "Don't go to your heart, she has always been like this, except for the queen mother in the palace, no one cares about it." ”

After that, he went to the inner courtyard to say goodbye to the old lady, and on the way, Aunt Liu and Aunt Chu chased after her, and each sent a few things to ask the in-laws not to dislike it, Mrs. Yan was naturally grateful, and then the third lady also arrived, although the second lady did not come in person, Chu Xue also came with a gift from her mother-in-law to practice.

Finally leaving the Duke's Palace, Mama Rui personally sent Mrs. In-laws out, and when she helped Mrs. Yan into the carriage, she stuffed a note into her palm.

Mrs. Yan didn't dare to make a noise, pinched the note tightly and sat in the car, escorted by Yunzhi to the palace.

Zhu Chengqian saw that his in-laws knew each other, and he didn't have any trouble, so he didn't ask about these things again, and entered the palace early the next morning, and saw Jin Dongsheng in front of the palace, and they went out of the city secretly on the orders of the emperor.

When the sun rises and the sun is shining, the eldest lady enters the palace to send things to the queen, and the little emperors and grandchildren are pestered to go to the Taiye Pool to play in the snow, and the queen recovers and wants to go out for a walk, so she takes her sister and grandchildren to the imperial garden.

The eldest lady has always loved the prince's children, and the little emperors and grandchildren have never seen the faces of their aunts and grandmothers elsewhere, and the aunts and grandmothers in their eyes are loving and amiable, and they are the elders who are the most patient to accompany them to play.

At this moment, the big and small ones are feeding the fish on the long bridge, and the queen is roasting the fire in the pavilion on the shore, looking at the quiet years in front of her, and her heart is happy, and suddenly the palace people arrive and send a letter.

"Zhu Pingjue?" Empress Yang was very strange, raised her eyes to see her sister who was frolicking with the children in the distance, and instructed the palace people, "Please come over." ”

Speaking of Zhanxin, it was Ping Jue who greeted her, wished the queen's aunt good health, and told the queen that he had left the capital and went to Kishu to study, and when he returned from his studies in the future, he would be reimbursed to the imperial court.

The eldest lady came to the pavilion, read the letter, her face was very bad, and without waiting for the queen to ask, she first said to herself: "What does this mean?" ”

The queen said coldly: "I should ask you, what do you mean." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly said that the old lady had mentioned before that she wanted to send Pingjue to study in Kizhou, but Zhu Chengqian was very angry, and now that everyone in the family is under his constraints, this matter has long been vetoed.

"Go back to the house and see if the kid is still there." The eldest lady instructed the subordinates who accompanied her into the palace, and while reading the letter again, she read it in her mouth, "This little beast ......"

"Ahem." The queen coughed a few times and glared at her sister angrily, how could she not be merciful and vicious in front of people.

The eldest lady asked rhetorically, "Why did he send you a letter?" ”

The queen already had a calculation in her heart, and sighed lightly: "According to your words, now that I know here, he is not sneaking away, Zhu Chengqian wants to chase it back, and he can't send someone to chase it openly, I'm afraid that even the emperor knows it." ”

Sure enough, Ping Jue's letter was not only sent to the queen, but also to the prince, which was naturally the old lady using her connections and skills, and if it was sent directly to the emperor, it would inevitably cause other troubles.

Just when the eldest lady was confused, Ping Jue had already left home, and yesterday Mama Rui stuffed a note to Mrs. Yan, asking her to wait outside the city gate, and at this time, Ping Jue was escorted by Min Yanshi and smoothly left the capital.

It turned out that early this morning, after Zhu Chengqian and the eldest lady left home one after another, Yunzhi came to pick up his younger brother to play.

The second lady has always been rampant and domineering, and the subordinates stopped him at all, but Zhu Chengqian secretly went out of the city today, and no one knew where he went, and he couldn't find it.

The people thought that the second lady was just taking her younger brother to visit the door, but who knew that she would go straight to Kishu.

"Thou art weak, thou shalt not be greedy for coldness, thou shalt not be reckless." Min Yanshi was like a brother, and carefully told Ping Jue, "Study hard in Kizhou, and my brother-in-law will come to pick you up in the spring next year." ”

Ping Jue said: "The second sister has a lively temperament and an irritable temper, and I ask my brother-in-law to be more forgiving and considerate, I can't be angry, you go to grandma to complain, grandma can clean her up." ”

Min Yanshi smiled, helped Pingjue to get into the carriage, and then said goodbye to Mrs. Yan, and the mother of Fuyi smiled and said: "My uncle is so careful, people who don't know are still considered brothers, second aunt, please rest assured, I will take care of my brother." ”

In fact, at home, Min Yanshi has countless brothers and sisters, as well as cousins and cousins, but he has never experienced any brotherhood, until he and Yunzhi became husband and wife, and unconsciously, he regarded the children of the Zhu family as his own siblings.

Even now, he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to send Ping Jue away, but Yun Zhi entrusted him, and he agreed without hesitation.
