The hand was held tightly by Qin Zhiyan, Zhiwan failed to pull it back several times, and her wrist was strangled a little painfully, for Qin Zhiyan's request, Zhiwan stroked her forehead a little, she is not married yet, King Yuejun is the king of Yuejun, is she her, even if she is married, she will not take care of him, "Big sister, I know that my eldest brother-in-law was beaten and made you suffer, but I never knew that I could tie up King Yuejun, I just want to help you, and I am also powerless." ”

Qin Zhiyan looked at Zhiwan in a daze, and smiled bitterly, "Fourth sister, why should you be humble, the king of Yue County can come to the Hou Mansion to apologize for your mistake for you to put down the shelf of the county king, and it is not that he put you on the tip of his heart, before today, the Beauty Pavilion, Chunfeng Building, he did not go less, in order to marry you, he ......." ”

In Qin Zhiyan's words, it is that the king of Yuejun is all for Zhiwan to clean himself, but this word is not suitable for men, but Qin Zhiyan feels like this, she used to be jealous of Zhiwan's love for Hou Ye, and now she is even more jealous, whether the king of Yuejun is arrogant or unruly, in front of Zhiwan, he can put down the shelf, and love Zhiwan with his heart is more important than anything else, their sisters, the most blessed has always been her.

Qin Zhiyan begged each other hard, Zhiwan had a headache, how could she help, she went to Ye Guiyue and begged him to relax, didn't he say that what he did was wrong, he should not beat the second young master of Ningguo Mansion, but should go to the Beauty Pavilion with him, Zhiwan was a little suspicious, did he deliberately beat people, Zhiwan was spinning his head quickly, and a maid outside came in and said, "The prince of Xiangwang took the imperial doctor to Ningguo Mansion to see the eldest aunt on the order of the Queen Mother." ”

Qin Zhiyan was overjoyed when she heard this, the Queen Mother didn't like the King of Yuejun, and the prince of the Xiang Dynasty hated the King of Yuejun even more, and the Queen Mother Yi was aiming at it, and the King of Yue County didn't dare to fight the imperial doctor, Qin Zhiyan was a little annoyed, the maid's legs and feet were too slow, and if she came a moment earlier, she didn't have to pull down her face and bow down in front of a concubine. Simply embarrassed by her face, Qin Zhiyan got up and said to the Qian family, "Mother, Xianggong is still sick." I can't stay long, so I'll go back to the house first, and I'll see you another day. ”

Qian patted Qin Zhiyan's hand, and his eyes were full of pity, "Don't bear it if you are wronged, even if the Hou Mansion is not as good as the Guogong Mansion, not everyone can bully it." ”

Qin Zhiyan nodded again and again, his eyes glanced at Zhiwan again, he had something to say in his heart but couldn't open his mouth, since yesterday when the king of Yuejun proposed to kiss. Mother-in-law has a much better face for her, Xianggong will talk to the king of Yuejun today, and he also wants to take advantage of the power of the king of Yuejun, so as to seek the position of the prince of the country, who wants the king of Yuejun to ignore the slightest face. Xiangwang Shizi suddenly treated Xianggong so well, she was a little unpredictable, and this matter had to be considered in the long run.

Qin Zhiyan and the Qian family exchanged a few words, and before leaving, they took Zhiwan's hand and smiled, "Fourth sister sent me to the second gate, right?" ”

Zhiwan sighed slightly, she didn't think that Qin Zhiyan would make such a request, based on their relationship. It's very good to send out the plum blossom courtyard, but since it's requested, it's too rude not to send it, so I smiled and nodded.

Zhiwan sent Qin Zhiyan out on the front foot, and Wang's mother entered the house with tea, thinking of what the little maid said to her. Then he was puzzled, "Madam, when Fang Caifang'er went to pass on the fourth girl, she saw Aunt Mei kneeling in the fourth girl's room, and the four girls ignored her. ”

Qian didn't take it to heart when he heard it. The corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, and she took a sip of tea, "Aunt Mei only has five girls in her heart, and it's strange that the fourth girl doesn't separate from her." ”

Mother Wang smiled when she heard this, "Aunt Mei said that she is smart and smart, and she is stupid and ignorant, Hou Ye hurts the four girls the most, but she hurts the five girls more, and even wrongs the four girls for the five girls, this thing is strange, it is said that she should hurt the four girls more than Hou Ye." ”

Qian's hand holding tea froze, and he always felt that something was wrong, with Aunt Mei's scheming, how could she make such a low-level mistake, Qian couldn't figure it out.

Outside, a maid in a blue skirt came in and said, "Madam, the grandmother in Aunt Mei's yard said that she had something important to look for you." ”

Qian's face was impatient when she heard this, and a mother-in-law also came to see her, hundreds of people up and down the house, did she see it, but Wang's mother was surprised to come to Qian's ear and whispered two words, Qian's eyes lit up, waved her hand, and the maid withdrew, and a mother-in-law with a sturdy figure, a white face, and a forty-two-three mother-in-law went in.

I only heard it in Qian's ear, muttering for a while, Qian's face changed colorfully, Wang's mother stood aside, as if struck by lightning, and didn't wait for Mrs. Sun to finish speaking, so she asked urgently, "Is this serious?!" ”

Grandma Sun nodded like pounding garlic, and said with a flattering and respectful smile, "Such a big thing, if you don't hear about it with your own ears, the slave and maid will borrow courage from the sky, and they won't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

Qian glanced at her grandmother, and felt that she couldn't make up such a big thing, so she gave Wang's mother a look, and Wang's mother took out a purse from her arms and gave it to her, and said with a smile, "Things are done well, this is a reward from your wife, go back." ”

Grandma Sun took Wang's mother's purse, and as soon as her palm sank, a flower bloomed on her face, a silver ingot of five taels, which was worth her three or four months.

After the grandmother-in-law withdrew, Mother Wang looked at the Qian family, and wondered, who would have wanted to turn her head and reveal her doubts, the fourth girl was favored by Hou Ye, but after all, she was not born to Aunt Mei, and how could she be worthy of the position of the fifth girl in her mind, but I don't know why Hou Ye came back from outside with a child and handed it over to Aunt Mei to raise, is the fourth girl born to Hou Ye?

Mother Wang looked at the Qian family and said the doubts in her heart, "Madam, over the years, you have mentioned three times that you have registered the name of the fourth girl under your knees, so that you have the identity of a descendant, Hou Ye just disagrees, isn't it that the fourth girl is not Hou Ye's own child, and she is ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors by writing her into the family tree?" ”

Qian glanced at Wang's mother, and felt that what she said was reasonable, Hou Ye should not be fake, the identity of the concubine is too important to a concubine, Hou Ye does not agree, it can be seen that there is something wrong, is it true that Hou Ye is not born to Hou Ye? Then why does Hou Ye hurt her more than her concubine and concubine, does she know that there is another secret in her life experience?

At this moment, in the bottom of Qian's heart, Zhiwan is not the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, in fact, it is not to blame that Qian wants to be crooked, there are those officials who are afraid of the inside, while being afraid of their wives, they also like to mess with flowers and grass, and the children they give birth to can't be lost, so they will find a friend's house and foster it as an adopted daughter, which is much better than an illegitimate daughter, and it will be easy to marry in the future. It's just that the Hou Ye hurts so much, but it's a little outrageous, is it the illegitimate daughter of the princely royal family? The jewelry that Hou Ye gave to Zhiwan was given by Zhiwan's father? If that's the case, it can explain three points.

Besides, Zhiwan sent Qin Zhiyan out. Greeting all the way, Zhiwan saw Qin Zhiyan open her mouth a few times, and changed the topic at the end, Zhiwan raised her eyebrows lightly, I don't know what Qin Zhiyan wants to say to her, why can't she open her mouth so much?

However, Zhiwan didn't ask, what could make Qin Zhiyan so embarrassed was even more not a good thing for her, she didn't say that it was really what she was looking forward to, but Qin Zhiyan was entangled again and again. still dragged Zhiwan's hand and said, "Fourth sister, there are so many sisters in the house, and you are the one who is most favored by your father." When I was in the house before, I was not less jealous, I was young and ignorant, and I would always do something wrong, so you can forgive the big sister, right? ”

Zhiwan hesitated slightly, and smiled disappreliantly, "What did the big sister say?" I left Beijing for a year, I hit my head, I don't remember many things, and I have long forgotten the previous unpleasantness. ”

Qin Zhiyan smiled again and again, and then spoke, "The fourth sister is so close. Speaking from the heart, the eldest sister doesn't know whether it's good or not, the power of the Zhennan Royal Mansion is monstrous, even the emperor is jealous, and the king of Yuejun is even more of the emperor. He dotes on you again, in the future you will be much better than the eldest sister and I must be much better, but the Zhennan Wangfu is far deeper than you know, in addition to the princess, there are two side concubines, all of them have children under their knees, the mother of the king of Yuejun has passed away early, he has made too many enemies, whether he can sit in the position of the king of Zhennan in the future is not yet known, after the fourth sister gets married, he should also make a plan as soon as possible, the big sister these are all heartfelt words, used to be a daughter's family in the house, carefree, I don't know everything, I know every step of the way when I get married, although we are not sisters, But half of the blood in the body is the same, so we should support each other. ”

Zhiwan looked at Qin Zhiwan and nodded his head, Qin Zhiwan and Zhiwan walked all the way forward, talking all the way, and only after a long time did Zhiwan understand that Qin Zhiwan's heart was not small, and she wanted to seek the position of the Duchess of the country, but she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room, and in addition to the deceased son, there were two concubines in the big house, if it was Ning Yuanzheng's turn, it was almost impossible, but if there was the help of the Zhennan Palace, the second room would be able to rise to the top, sometimes the power determined the inheritance, after all, the second master was also the son of the Duke of Ningguo.

Qin Zhiyan thought that now that the king of Yuejun is in the limelight, and Zhiwan is favored by him, it is not difficult to help Ning Yuan find a good position in the court, as long as she sits in the position of the duchess of the country, she will spare no effort to help Ye Guiyue grab the position of the king of Zhennan in the future, Zhiwan heard that she wanted to laugh and was embarrassed to laugh, and her cheeks cramped, she wanted to tell Qin Zhiyan that Ye Guiyue did not take the position of a king of Zhennan in his eyes, what people want is the throne, besides, there is a purple rope on Chen'er's wrist, although it disappears from time to time, But it has always been there, who knows what the situation will be in the future, besides, Ye Guiyue offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and beat Ning Yuanzheng in public, making him lose face, even if Ye Guiyue helped him ascend to the position of the prince of the country in the future, as long as outsiders mention this matter, will he not be embarrassed?

For Ye Guiyue, Zhiwan is still confident, can he ask for a hundred death-free gold medals from the emperor, can the means be weak?

Qin Zhiyan said a lot, but when she didn't see Zhiwan's statement, her heart sank a little, and her face was ugly, "Fourth sister, am I not right?" ”

Zhiwan shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "What the eldest sister said is very right, and she is also very thoughtful, but the eldest sister seems to have forgotten that the king of Zhennan has not canonized the prince, and the king of Yuejun is only the king of the county, even if he is not the one who inherits the throne of the king of Zhennan in the future, he is still the king of Yuejun, and the position of the king of the county can be passed down from generation to generation. ”

Qin Zhiyan's face was blue and purple and changed in turn, she said for a long time, and she ignored the position of the king of Yuejun, which was personally sealed by the emperor's royal pen, and the name of the king of Yuejun spread all over Kyoto, so that she forgot, in fact, the emperor did not agree to the king of Zhennan's request to canonize the prince, but everyone often called the king of Yuejun with the son, until the king of Zhennan made a great contribution to the country, and when the emperor rewarded his merits, there was no reward, and the king of Zhennan asked for the throne of the king of Yuejun, indeed, from beginning to end, there was no son in the palace of Zhennan, There is only the king of the county.

Even if the king of Yue County succeeds in competing for the position of the king of Zhennan in the future, according to the demotion of the lord, he is still the king of the county, even if the position is robbed, he is still the king of the county, so what else to rob? Qin Zhiyan figured out this, her face was black as if she had eaten something disgusting, she was angry and annoyed in her heart, she felt that she was an idiot, and she felt that Zhiwan was deliberate, and she knew it in her heart, so she could tell her bluntly that she was not happy. But I still have to listen to her, and reveal the intention in my heart, and the second room is not a long-faced thing to seek the title of the long house. The sentence that contentment can lead to long-term happiness is also a ridicule of her!

Qin Zhiyan suppressed the urge to fan Zhiwan in her heart, and sneered, "It seems that the fourth sister inquired about the king of Yuejun very clearly, not to mention the title of Zhennan Wangfu, and the power in the hands of the king of Zhennan, what about the money of Zhennan Wangfu, the fourth sister is not married, I don't know the hardships after getting married, there are some things that you don't want to grab." can be put out of it. ”

Zhiwan looked at Qin Zhiyan, it is undeniable that what Qin Zhiyan said is very right, it's not that if you don't want to rob it, people will let you go. Just like her, she didn't want to rob them of anything, didn't she still be excluded by them, she is not a soft persimmon, anyone who wants to pinch it, she only has one word, and she does not take the initiative to harm others. But whoever wants to harm her, she will never be merciful.

Qin Zhiyan saw that Zhiwan's expression was relaxed for three points, so she didn't say more, she waited for her to come to the door, then congratulated Zhiwan a few more words, and left with the maid.

Walk on the way back to Sandalwood. Zhiwan looked at the flowers blooming in the garden, his heart moved slightly, his hands were itchy, he really wanted to move these flowers back to the sandalwood courtyard, and Poria looked at Zhiwan very much about these flowers. Covering his mouth teasingly, he said, "The girl likes flowers, you can ask the king of Yuejun to send someone to send it!" ”

Zhiwan's cheeks flushed, and she looked at Poria twice, "It's really getting bolder and bolder, even I dare to joke?" ”

Poria has been playing with Zhiwan since she was a child, and she is not afraid of her at all, giggling, "The slave is not wrong, even the king of Zhennan said that as long as the girl speaks, as long as there is something in the world, she will send it to the girl with all the power of the Zhennan Palace, not to mention a few pots of flowers, right?" ”

The more Poria talked, the more bold she became, and she couldn't wait to catch up and fight, so the two of them walked away in the garden laughing, and the cold stone came out in the dark, looking at the flower arrangement in the garden, "Do you want to tell the lord that the princess likes flowers?" ”

Leng Mu pursed his lips, "Isn't this a flower in a garden, the princess likes it, let's just move back for her." ”

Leng Shi glared at Leng Mu and said, "You should be the master, this is the Hou Mansion, and it is not the turn of the princess of the county to do anything wrong, don't make trouble for the princess of the county." ”

Leng Mu bared his teeth, "Even if you really move, who dares to say anything, didn't the master say it, whoever wants to bully the princess of the county is bullying him." ”

Leng Shi looked at the sky, "...... Anyway, it's not allowed to move, besides, can these ugly flowers be worthy of the princess of the county? ”

Leng Mu glanced at the garden again and agreed, "It's ugly indeed." ”

“……。”

Zhiwan returned to the house, continued to embroider soft armor, the two soft armor is not particularly large, there are a lot more silk entanglements, Zhiwan carefully let Poria cocos receive the box, turn around and wait for the soft armor to be worn, dismantle and redo it can be used, is instructing Ling Ming'er to send the small courtyard, outside the white peony opened the curtain and came in and said, "Girl, the king of Yuejun sent sixty lifts of Nacai Lilai, violating the etiquette system, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu led the civil and military officials to impeach the king of Zhennan, and even the Hou Ye was impeached." ”

Zhiwan looked back at Bai Shao, Bai Shao told Zhiwan what he had heard, the Ministry of Rites has the rules of inspecting hundreds of officials and observing etiquette, and Yushitai has the responsibility of supervising the conduct of hundreds of officials, Zhennan Wangfu is rich and rivals the country, they know, but in this way, Chiguoguo's sixty-four gifts are too much, no matter how good the king of Yuejun is, he is only a county king, how can he cross the emperor, isn't this trampling on the emperor's dragon face?

At this moment, in the imperial study, King Xiang was the leader, the protector of the country, King Rui, and a group of ministers of imperial history knelt in the imperial study, kneeling and begging the emperor to punish the king of Zhennan.

King Xiang looked at Emperor Wenyuan, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the ministers are already unbearable, the King of Zhennan has not put the emperor in his eyes several times, and connived at the arrogance of the King of Yuejun, this time it is even more trampled on the court etiquette system, and the prince of a county dares to use sixty-four to carry the ceremony, or to marry a concubine, in the future, the prince and the prince will marry, wouldn't it be seventy-two, or even more, even if the treasury is full, it can't afford to marry a concubine like this!" ”

Before King Xiang's words fell, Duke Wei Guo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what King Xiang said is very true, etiquette cannot be abolished, everyone does not obey the courtesy, the country will be in chaos, the king of Zhennan is highly accomplished, and the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty once asked the minister, whether the government of our dynasty is in the hands of the king of Zhennan, whether the emperor is subject to the king of Zhennan, the emperor, the king of Zhennan dares to cross the emperor today, and it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not usurp the throne!" ”

After Wei Guogong finished speaking, the Yushitai played one by one, and the general meaning was almost the same, that is, to teach the king of Zhennan a lesson, so that he would know that if he was against the etiquette system, he would be punished, if the king of Zhennan was not punished, what should the hundred officials follow suit in the future? There is also the Marquis of Dingyuan, knowing that it is wrong, and he also accepted sixty-four gifts, which is a knowingly offense!

Emperor Wenyuan sat there, his head swelled and hurt, and he drank two cups of tea in a row before he heard the little father-in-law tell him that the king of Zhennan was coming, Emperor Wenyuan really felt that he didn't feel like the emperor anymore, and he had seen the emperor and others, and people didn't come for a long time?

King Zhennan stepped into the imperial study, and saw a group of ministers kneeling there, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and said with a smile, "This king is late, do you want to punish yourself for three cups?" ”

Emperor Wenyuan took a sip of tea and sprayed far away, Gonggong Xu looked at King Zhennan with a black line on his face, didn't the emperor invite you to dinner, didn't he punish himself with three cups, and he was not afraid that the emperor would give you three cups of poisonous wine, Emperor Wenyuan looked at the tea on the table, and said angrily, "It's been a long time since you were summoned, why did you come here?!" ”

King Zhennan unhurriedly took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve and handed it to Duke Xu, "The matter of King Xiang and Duke Wei raising private soldiers in Lizhou has been investigated by the minister, and it is true. ”

Emperor Wenyuan's face was gloomy as frost, King Xiang and Wei Guogong's foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and they said again and again no, saying that someone slandered them, who this person was, everyone knew it, it was the king of Yuejun, the king of Zhennan shielded his son, fabricated evidence, the king of Zhennan glanced at the two of them, looked at the imperial historians and said, "Sixty-four to carry the gift, this king sent someone to send it to the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, as long as the king is willing, even the Zhennan Wangfu can also be sent!" ”

The royal historians gasped a few breaths of cold air, what kind of ladies are the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, who can be so highly regarded by the King of Zhennan, even the Zhennan Wangfu can also be sent? King Xiang and Wei Guogong themselves are difficult to protect, a group of impeached ministers are leaderless, self-chaotic, the king of Zhennan is not there, they still dare to count, in front of the king of Zhennan, where do they still have the guts, they regret a little, they should not be impeached, but the emperor is obviously very angry, if it weren't for the emperor's anger, they wouldn't have come to add fuel to the fire, why didn't this fire burn to the king of Zhennan, but he was uncomfortable?

The king of Zhennan wrote a fold, and the topic of the imperial study changed suddenly, compared to the sixty-four Na Cai Li, the king of the prime minister and the public and private soldiers and horses of the country are more disgusted to seek power and usurp the throne, and plot against him, even more, the king is the youngest son of the prince, and the current emperor is not the queen mother, so he should be even more avoided.

It's just that the king and the prince of Wei Guo have a lot of status in the court, and the three thousand private soldiers are not much, and they are still a little far from seeking power and usurping the throne, but this matter can be big or small, hundreds of officials pleaded for intercession, and even the queen mother came, and the king of the prime minister fell for a long time before asking the emperor to say, "Your Majesty, the king of the prime minister is borrowing courage from the sky, and he does not dare to do anything rebellious, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he has the heart of rebellion, what can three thousand private soldiers do, if my imperial court can overthrow only three thousand soldiers and horses, and spread it out, wouldn't it make the Southern Shun and Northern Qi laugh at my Dayue Dynasty is in danger, and the grass and trees are all soldiers?" ”

Emperor Wenyuan saw so many people pleading, and the anger in his heart disappeared a little, but he could not be punished, "King Xiang and the Weiguo Mansion have privately raised soldiers and horses without the permission of the imperial court, and have committed a big taboo. ”

King Xiang and Duke Wei Guo knelt down to thank the emperor Longen, and the two glanced at each other, fortunately, the king of Zhennan provoked the emperor to be in front of him, otherwise this matter would not be easy, but I am afraid that he will be demoted.

That's right, it's true that these ministers impeached King Zhennan for violating the etiquette system, in fact, they were more to help King Xiang and Wei Guogong intercede, and this time it was really thanks to the sixty-four Na Cai Li.

The Queen Mother glanced at King Zhennan before she said to Emperor Wenyuan, "Your Majesty, the mourning family heard that the three thousand soldiers and horses were recruited by the king of Yuejun to build what county palace?" ”

Emperor Wenyuan looked at the king of Zhennan, and the king of Zhennan said with a smile, "Yes, the minister originally planned to let Yue'er return the three thousand soldiers and horses to the imperial court, but all the ministers and the queen mother said that only three thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to worry about. ”
