Qian and Aunt Lan also added oil and vinegar on the side, Dingyuan Hou couldn't do it, and said that when they got married, he also helped with the painting, as for Qin Zhishu, who provoked trouble, Dingyuan Hou was quite unhappy and said, "If you are willing to wait, you can ask the Prime Minister's Mansion to be postponed for your father!" ”

Aunt Liu was also present, she was beaten by the board, and she didn't dare to ask a doctor, but Qin Zhishu was pregnant, and Aunt Liu was exonerated from the crime, and the good medicine was smeared, and she recovered in five or six days, and she began to jump again, "The fourth girl has the phoenix crown and xia curtain rewarded by the emperor, and the share designed by the Hou Ye for her will be given to the fifth girl, right?" ”

Dingyuan Hou has never designed the phoenix crown Xia curtain for Zhiwan at all, he only designed such a set in his life, it took three days and three nights, that is the most precious thing in Xiangwan, and it should be passed on to Zhiwanyuan, Aunt Mei even dared to rob it, he read it for the sake of her raising Zhiwan for a few years, and spared her several times, but she didn't expect her to get worse, some things Aunt Mei grabbed it, and some were by no means what she could touch, Dingyuan Hou smashed a table angrily at that time, "Bastard thing, marry the prince of the prince, has already sent Fengguan Xia to come, she doesn't like it, so she dares to take advantage of the pregnancy and abandon it, my Hou Mansion has not had such a daughter who doesn't know how to lift! ”

Aunt Mei was startled, knelt there with some grievances, and looked at Dingyuan Hou with her neck high, "The slave maid has been serving the Hou Ye for more than ten years, and some words have been held in my heart. It's four girls! How can Hou Ye be so eccentric, the eldest girl is married, Hou Ye has not personally designed the phoenix crown Xia curtain, only to the four girls here, even the emperor sent the phoenix crown Xia curtain, the slave maid has lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, and also knows that the emperor's reward is heavier than the sky, yes, the four girls are lucky, married to the lawless and unruly Yue Jun Wang, with the Yue Jun King to help her, she can have no scruples. Mrs. accused me of not teaching the four girls well, and Hou Ye asked himself, is the four girls pampered by slaves or you are used to it? ”

Aunt Mei knelt there. Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, the more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears fell, Aunt Liu stood behind Qian and chuckled, "Look at what Aunt Mei said, Master Hou loves the four girls more, and the slave maid used to think that the temperament of the four girls was cultivated like this because of Lord Hou's spoiling, but I saw that the fifth girl was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the prince before she got married...... Aunt Mei, the fifth girl is always taught by you. Thanks to the four girls being guarded by the Hou Ye, otherwise I don't know what will happen, your grievance is so unreasonable. ”

Aunt Liu said, and Aunt Lan also smiled, "Not really." The four girls have been away from marriage for a year, and they are still innocent, and the five girls are staying in the Hou Mansion, but they are on the same page with the prince of Xiangwang, a mother, Aunt Mei said this, but it makes the four girls cold. ”

Qian sipped his tea and let them eat the dog. She knew that Zhiwan was not Aunt Mei's own child, or she didn't know if it was Hou Ye's own flesh and blood, Aunt Mei knelt there, her back was a little chilly, Aunt Liu and Aunt Lan were jealous of the fourth girl and the fifth girl climbing up to the high relatives, and wanted to provoke the sisterhood between Zhiwan and Zhishu. Even more to punish her by the hand of the Hou Ye, Aunt Mei regretted mentioning the matter of Feng Guanxia, so she heard Aunt Liu sigh, "Fortunately, the third girl and the eighth girl usually have their wives and us to discipline them strictly, which requires one or two more shameless daughters in the house." How can the Hou Mansion still have the face to gain a foothold in Kyoto? ”

Aunt Lan nodded and sighed, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, okay, the fifth girl is suddenly going to marry the prince of Xiangwang, and she is in such a hurry to marry, there are all kinds of speculations outside, I am afraid that this matter will not be hidden for much time, and it is best to decide the family affairs of several girls first, in case there is an impact on ......." ”

Aunt Lan is looking forward to letting Qin Zhixue be a person, she thinks that the daughter she raised is not inferior to Zhiwan and Qin Zhishu in terms of talent and appearance, both of them can marry as princesses and princesses, how can Qin Zhixue also marry into the princely family, right?

Qian listened to Aunt Lan's words, and then looked at her eyes, a sneer crossed the corner of her mouth, she didn't beg the old lady to help the eighth girl choose the family affair she liked, for fear that she would make a hindrance from it, that's right, the concubine of the Hou Mansion is married highly, not an ordinary high marriage, no worse than the princess of the county, but don't look at it, who are they marrying, the concubine of the Hou Mansion is better than the concubine, do ordinary people dare to come to the door to propose?

So many rich dowries, who can take them out?

Ordinary aunts and concubines love to compare, Qian thought, put down the teacup, looked at Dingyuan Hou cautiously and said, "Aunt Lan is right, if this matter shows a hint of rumors, the reputation of the girls in the house is always bad, but the four girls and the five girls are married so well, I can't make up my mind about how to choose the relatives of the three girls, pick a medium-sized family, several aunts are not happy in their hearts, pick the eldest young master of the family, but not everyone is like the Zhennan Wangfu and the Xiangwangfu, not to mention the dignity and humility, let alone sixty or seventy lifts, The palatial courtyard of the palace came to court. ”

The Marquis of Dingyuan was also worried about this matter, these few days in the morning, several ministers sighed to him, originally wanted to ask for the second son or concubine in the family, but when he thought that the concubine of the Hou Mansion was either married to the princess of the county or the princess of the family, and she couldn't climb high, the Marquis of Dingyuan was willing to agree, but he couldn't speak, and the Marquis of Dingyuan got up and said, "How should the ordinary Hou Mansion marry a daughter and how to marry a daughter......." ”

As he was talking, Chief Manager Qin hurriedly rushed in outside the door and said, "Master Hou, Princess Ronghua is here." ”

Marquis Dingyuan frowned, Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion and Princess Ronghua's Mansion have never had anything to do with her, why did she come, is it for the King of Yuejun to force the four princes to marry the people's daughter as the princess?

Qian also wondered, but she didn't think about the king of Yuejun and the fourth prince, she guessed that it should be related to the marriage of the prince of Xiang, after all, Princess Ronghua is the aunt of the prince of Xiang.

Princess Ronghua came to the door, Marquis Dingyuan was busy going to greet her, the Qian family was also there, as for the aunts, they went back to their respective hospitals, they were not qualified to see Princess Ronghua, Aunt Mei twisted the embroidered handkerchief, if she was promoted to a flat wife, she could also go out to meet guests......

In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, a luxurious soft sedan car stopped, the sedan chair was surrounded by tassels and silver bells, the breeze blew, the silver bells jingle pleasantly, as if composing a clear sound.

The sedan curtain was opened, and the noble lady in a palace costume walked out with the help of the maid, with a charming posture, light eyebrows like smoke and fog, fine eyelashes like silk, double eyebrows, lock Chunshan, white like pear blossoms with rain, delicate like peach petals with the wind, looking at the red silk tied on the two stone lions in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion. The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and at that time, Marquis Dingyuan and the Qian family stepped forward to salute, and Princess Ronghua turned sideways. said with a smile, "Taishan Taishui, the king of Yuejun and the prince of Xiang, such a heavy gift, this palace can't afford it." ”

Marquis Dingyuan got up and replied, "The princess laughed. ”

Qian smiled and invited Princess Ronghua into the mansion, Princess Ronghua lifted her skirt lightly and went up the steps, looked at the joy of the Hou Mansion, and said with a smile, "In three days, the two girls in the mansion will get married." There are so many dowries, after the specifications exceed the emperor's marriage, Kyoto is a grand event, and there is no one before and no one after him! ”

Qian secretly looked at Princess Ronghua and didn't understand what she meant. If you want to say that it violates the rules, then you shouldn't come to the Hou Mansion, how can there be too many dowries to bring to the door, there have always been only too few, besides, this matter has been discussed earlier, didn't the emperor say anything. Princess Ronghua will never accuse the Xiangwang Mansion of doing something wrong, Qian said with a smile, "The Zhennan Wangfu sent a total of one hundred and eighty dowry gifts, and the Xiangwang Mansion sent two hundred, and when the time comes, the marriage will be done, one south and one north." It is indeed a Kyoto event. ”

Princess Ronghua heard that there were two hundred lifts, which was more than the Zhennan Palace, and the smile in her eyes deepened by three points, although she knew that the two hundred lifts of the Xiangwang Mansion were not as good as the one hundred and eighty lifts of the Zhennan Palace. Especially the king of Yuejun, there are so many Zhuangzi house deeds and land deeds, but the face is always better looking, she is the sister of the king, the palace has face, and her face is also bright.

After entering the Zhengyuan Hall, the best tea was served, and after Princess Ronghua took two sips, the Marquis of Dingyuan asked, "I don't know why the princess came this time?" ”

Princess Ronghua put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth, tidied up her palace robe, and said with a smile, "This palace came today to be entrusted by the queen, although the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is just a waiting house, now in Kyoto, even ordinary palaces are not comparable, the concubines in the house, the Zhennan Mansion and the Xiangwang Mansion are vying to marry, presumably the concubines are even more extraordinary." ”

When the Qian family heard Princess Ronghua say this, her face was happy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hold back her satisfaction, Princess Ronghua was entrusted by the queen, that is, she asked for the four princes, although the Qian family had been so delusional, but he never thought that there would really be such a day, let alone that this day would come so suddenly.

The maids and mothers in the house were overjoyed, Mrs. was so happy, after Princess Ronghua left, Mrs. would definitely reward them, there was a princess of the county, and there was a princess, and then a princess, a glory, that is, they went out, and their backs were straighter than ordinary people.

Compared with the joy of the Qian family and the maids-in-law, the frown of the Marquis of Dingyuan was frowned, how could the four princes want to marry the Hou Mansion, like the relatives of the princes, all of them should be used as bargaining chips to help themselves, what help can the Hou Mansion give the four princes?

Qian saw Ronghua and wealth, Qin Zhiyu's motherhood, Dingyuan Hou thought of the crisis, if he guessed right, the queen invited Princess Ronghua to come to kiss, first, to use his identity as the father-in-law of the king of Yuejun, to ask him to withdraw the pressure on the four princes, the four princes were indecent on the street disappeared, and secondly, let him do peace, if the concubine became the princess, he would definitely spare no effort for her future, and he would win over the king of Zhennan to support the four princes, right?

However, will the four princes ascend to the throne? Isn't the future emperor in the pocket of Zhennan Wangfu, his grandson's?

The most painful thing for Dingyuan Marquis is that Zhiwan is good, but Qin Zhiyu is also his daughter, and he has grown up with pain since childhood, knowing that the fourth prince will be a tragedy in the future, how can he agree to this family business?

Marquis Dingyuan flicked the teacup lightly, and put it down without drinking, "Thanks to the queen, the four princes and my Hou Mansion really can't afford to climb, a king of Yuejun and a prince of Xiangwang is enough for me to have a headache, and I can't bear another one." ”

Princess Ronghua's face was slightly stiff, she personally came to ask for relatives and had given the Hou Mansion enough face, but she didn't expect the Marquis of Dingyuan to dare to refuse, Princess Ronghua felt that she was a big loss of face, if it wasn't for the queen's trust, the king of Yuejun was aggressive, she really wanted to throw her sleeves and leave.

The Qian family is not in danger, the hands under the cloud sleeves are tight, the teeth are clenched, the two daughters he loves are married well, he doesn't care about the concubines, the four princes are not better than the king of Yuejun? Isn't it better than the prince of Xiangwang?

The Qian family glanced at Princess Ronghua, and when he saw that she was displeased, he had a bottom in his heart, and said with a smile, "Lord Hou is too worried, King Yue and Prince Xiang dare not be presumptuous in front of you, if the fourth prince really has the heart to marry the Hou Mansion, how dare he be rude in front of his father-in-law?" ”

The Qian family clearly agreed, Princess Ronghua's face looked good, but in fact, he didn't complain about Yuanhou, if it was an ordinary time, he wouldn't hurry up to thank him, it was really his son-in-law who was too strong, one was more powerful than the other, he couldn't stand it, especially between these sons-in-law. There are still thousands of threads, Princess Ronghua smiled generously, "Actually, it is not surprising that the Hou Ye has such worries, the fourth prince has entanglements with the king of Yuejun." The king of Yuejun and the prince of Xiangwang are also entangled, I heard that the fourth girl is the most beloved daughter of the Hou Ye, aren't you worried that the prince of Xiangwang and the four princes will join together to bully the king of Yuejun, right? ”

The corners of Dingyuanhou's mouth arced, he was not worried about this, what he was worried about was that the king of Yuejun would beat the other two sons-in-law to death one day, and when the time came, would he come forward or not?

The Marquis of Dingyuan was still about to speak, but the Qian family stopped him, "Master Hou, the four princes are not comparable to the prince of Yuejun and the prince of Xiangwang, and the queen specially troubled Princess Ronghua to make this trip." How can my Hou Mansion not give this face, if he refuses, who will dare to come to the door to ask for relatives in the future? ”

Qian's words are also good, the Hou Mansion dares to refuse the prince's relatives, or the fourth prince who is expected to win the crown prince. Even the four princes can't look down on it, who else dares to open their mouths to ask for marriage? It is estimated that the face of the four princes will not dare to come to the door!

At this point, Marquis Dingyuan was not as thoughtful as the Qian family, and after twisting his eyebrows and thinking for a while, Marquis Dingyuan relented, "Since the four princes want to marry, Benhou will not refuse." ”

Heard Dingyuanhou's promise. Princess Ronghua breathed a sigh of relief, put the blood jade pendant held under Yun Sleeve on the table, and said with a smile, "This blood jade pendant is a token of asking to marry the sixth girl to be the prince's side concubine." ”

The prince's side concubine, these four words hit Qian's head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Qian was stunned. "Side, side concubine? Not a concubine? ”

Princess Ronghua glanced at the Qian family, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, anyway, the family has already agreed, and the Hou Mansion will not dare to destroy the relatives of the four princes. Then he smiled and said, "It's the side concubine, you heard it right." ”

The king of Yuejun is unreasonable, that is, he has not been unreasonable since he was a child, he does not know the number of etiquette, the prince of the prime minister is because of his physical problems, for the inheritance of the prince's mansion, he had to marry the pregnant five girls, otherwise he will rely on her concubine, give birth to a child out of wedlock, and also want to enter the royal ancestral hall, not to mention the prince's mansion, the entire royal family has no face to see the ancestors and ancestors!

She hasn't seen the six girls from the Hou Mansion, and she can't compare with the four girls, and her talent is not bad, but the four girls can win the favor of the king of Yuejun, and she willingly reins in her temper and puts down her figure, it can be seen that she is not an ordinary woman, especially playing the piano and singing, it is said that no one in Kyoto can compare with her, and the dignified concubine can't even compare with the concubine, what face does she have to be the princess, if she doesn't want to win over the princess's mansion, thinking that the Zhennan palace is on the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, even if she doesn't support the four princes, she won't make a hindrance from it, just such a reason, can't take the position of a princess.

The embroidered handkerchief in Qian's hand was tightened, the identity of the prince's side concubine was tempting, if there was no princess of Yuejun, no princess of the princess, she would have accepted it happily, but now, the concubine is the wife, the concubine is the concubine, and it is passed out, what face does she have to be? !

Qian clenched his hand, let go again in an instant, and asked with a smile, "A few days ago on the street, the king of Yuejun and the four princes fell out, and the four princes were also lightly treated by a people's daughter. ”

Princess Ronghua's face suddenly stiffened into ice, Dingyuan Hou glanced at Qian's family, this woman has something wrong with her brain, she doesn't hit people in the face, she doesn't expose people, she is still happy to stammer Princess Ronghua, and her attitude reversed when she heard the word side concubine, Dingyuan Hou didn't bother to care about her, and took tea and sipped it.

Qian asked very calmly and calmly, because what she asked was the truth, using a side concubine to insult her daughter, she couldn't use a people's daughter to insult the four princes?

Princess Ronghua's heart fluctuated slightly, her face turned blue when she held her breath, but her heart turned a thousand times, a Mrs. Hou dared to say this, and dared to ignore the position of the prince's side concubine, it was not relying on the king of Yuejun, but also, after all, the Marquis of Dingyuan was the father-in-law of the king of Yuejun, in order to marry the four girls, the king of Yuejun was again and almost beaten by the Marquis of Dingyuan, it is said that he fell out with the prince of the prince in front of the Hou Mansion, the Marquis of Dingyuan yelled in a word, he will not make trouble obediently, if the Marquis of Dingyuan wants him to marry a people's daughter, The civil and military officials can't refute it, and the concubine immediately said when he came back from the court that the four princes wanted to take the people's daughter as a concubine, and the king of Yuejun didn't agree at all!

The civil and military officials said that the people's girls were vulgar, and it was difficult to wait for the elegant hall, and the king of Yuejun retorted that the vulgarity taught her etiquette, and above the court, how many people's grandfathers and grandfathers were born in poverty, and they all entered the court as officials with their own efforts, like Queen Huiwen of the previous dynasty, or from the palace maid, not the same mother in the world?

Can't despise others just because she is a folk girl, if she dislikes her inferior status, it's a big deal that he recognizes her as a righteous sister, isn't the righteous sister of the dignified Yue County King worthy of his four princes?

The queen mother is worried about this matter, it is a fact that the four princes and the people's daughters have skin-to-skin relations, if you look down on the people, and he does not distinguish between the concubines in the eyes of the king of Yuejun, treats the people equally, spreads it, and hinders the prestige of the four princes, after all, the people's heart is also a consideration for a prince to become the crown prince, marrying six girls as princesses, it is better than marrying a people's daughter, if you marry a side concubine, maybe the six girls will use the power of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to harm the concubine, sooner or later the position of the concubine will still be hers, it is better to give her the position of the concubine from the beginning, let her and the six princes work together?

It's just that the queen didn't agree to this matter, did she rashly make the decision, Princess Ronghua thought for a while, and said with a smile, "It's really right to ask Mrs. Hou to say yes, the king of Yuejun instigated the courtiers to ask the fourth prince to marry a people's daughter as a concubine, otherwise he would not have wronged the sixth girl as a side concubine." ”

That's the reason she guessed! Qian secretly grinds his teeth, how can there be a king of Yuejun everywhere, and she is a good thing everywhere, Qian looked at the Marquis of Dingyuan, his eyes moved lightly, and the implication was that it was absolutely not okay to ask Qin Zhiyu to be a side concubine, especially if he was pressed by a people's daughter, what kind of face did the Hou Mansion have, the king of Yuejun was his son-in-law, as long as he said it, the king of Yuejun would not be.

Princess Ronghua got up and said with a smile, "The two girls in the house are married, they must be busy, and the palace will not delay much, and when the two girls get married, the fourth prince will come to hire." ”

Qian and Dingyuan Hou sent Princess Ronghua out of the house, and as soon as Princess Ronghua left, Qian couldn't help it, "Master Hou, the king of Yuejun is inevitably too aggressive, a folk girl also wants to be the princess and concubine, and now the concubines are married to the four princes, and they are pressed by a people's daughter. ”

Marquis Dingyuan glanced at the Qian family and instructed Mr. Qin, "Send someone to tell the fourth girl, and ask her to tell the king of Yuejun to loosen his mouth." ”

When Qian Shi heard this, a smile bloomed on his face, and he was about to speak, when Dingyuan Hou flicked his sleeves, "Don't regret it!" ”

Qian's smile froze on his face, "What do I regret?" If you want to let the concubine be a side concubine, I will regret it if I am pressed by a people's girl! ”

Dingyuan Hou ignored Qian's and walked to the outer courtyard study, Qian's smile was overjoyed, and the maids and maids stepped forward to congratulate, Qian smiled and said, "Reward, happy today, each person will be rewarded with two months of monthly money!" ”

The sandalwood courtyard that Manager Qin went to in person, some words are not clear at all, but Manager Qin didn't expect to meet King Yue Jun in Zhiwan's house, and the two of them also flirted and scolded, uh, to be precise, Zhiwan scolded King Yue Jun again, "Hey, hey, is there any mistake, the three thousand private soldiers you pit from King Xiang, is it your good, what you gave me is the title deed of the Zhuangyuan, not their deed of sale, they are not under my control!" ”

Ye Guiyue sat at the desk, drawing with a pen, Zhiwan was grinding on the side, muttering, she just opened her mouth to ask for a few secret guards, the secret guards who completely obeyed her orders, he was good, as soon as he opened his mouth, three thousand private soldiers were thrown to her, please, she is everyone's lady, is it good to be a woman, not Mulan, you don't need to go to the battlefield to fight, what kind of private soldiers do you want?

Zhiwan saw that he had been talking for a long time, but people were unmoved, his eyes rolled, and he smiled, "You haven't seen my methods, aren't you afraid that Chen'er will rebel and kill you in the future, if I train 3,000 private soldiers, I will definitely listen to me in the future, no matter how close my husband is, he can't kiss his son, hey, have you listened to me!" ”

The eardrums that were noisy by Zhiwan hurt, Ye Guiyue stopped his pen and ink, glanced at Zhiwan and said, "I have already seen your ability, Chen'er can be the emperor in the future, if it is not because of you, will I believe it?" Without military power, how can he be called emperor, I will give you this opportunity. ”

"......." ”
