Rong Hai was comforted softly by Aunt Lin in Manfen Pavilion, and the depression in his heart gradually calmed down a lot, and there was a smile on his face.

Rong Lan entered the courtyard and heard Aunt Lin say softly, "The concubine is an old servant of the eldest princess's mansion, this can't be hidden, now that An Guohou has arrived in Zhuzhou, the concubine is thinking, I have to go over and kowtow anyway......"

"You miss the old very much, what does your eldest princess's mansion have to do with the Anguo Marquis Mansion?" Thinking of Li Yuanshan, who didn't give himself face at all today, and even gave himself a war letter on the spot, Rong Hai didn't have a good voice, "It's just a waste, kowtow to him with my concubine?" ”

Aunt Lin lowered her eyes and smiled, "It's just strange that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't even send someone to ask this time?" She is not the kind of reckless person, and she has always been good friends with her wife, so with a letter from the county lord, she went directly to the emperor to invite the holy decree? ”

Thinking about all this, it really doesn't fit the character of the eldest princess of Jinyang, don't say that the eldest princess of Jinyang, who has always trusted the Rong family, is him, if his daughter comes to ask for help, the first thing he has to do is to go over and check the truth in person, instead of going directly to the emperor to ask for a share and leave the book!

"What do you mean?"

Aunt Lin was still gentle and timid, "What can the meaning of this little insight of the concubine?" But the concubine thought, went over to say hello, and by the way, also asked how about His Royal Highness's noble body? An Guohou came over this time, he couldn't even have seen His Highness's face, right? ”

This Aunt Lin, she really underestimated her before, Rong Lan coughed lightly and stepped into the house, "I've seen my father, Aunt Lin." ”

Seeing Rong Lan come in, Aunt Lin hurriedly got up and blessed Rong Lan, made her a cup of tea, and quietly left.

"You've heard everything in court, right? What do we do now? Rong Hai motioned for Rong Lan to sit down opposite him and asked.

Rong Lan was looking at Aunt Lin's simple but elegant little living room, re-evaluating her in her heart, and hearing Rong Hai ask her, she hurriedly gathered her mind, "So far, even if we are unwilling, we have to admit that we lost this time." ”

Rong Hai also knew this in his heart, so he listened to Rong Lan and said, "Instead of entanglement again, not only did it fall into the country, but also the suspicion of resisting the decree, according to the daughter's view, it is better to leave it like this, fortunately a few days ago, my brother has been admitting his mistakes, this time he was seriously injured by An Guohou, and was dismissed from office, this kind of punishment is not heavy, let's keep a low profile now, as long as your father, the governor of the capital, does not lose the sacred heart, these are all passing clouds." ”

This sentence is to the point, thinking that such a thing happened in his house, the emperor only fined and demoted, and did not touch the real power in his hands, which made Rong Hai's hanging heart let go, "I think so too, after all, the golden seal of the Governor of the Navy is still in the hands of his father." ”

"But this demotion," it's embarrassing enough, he is now on the same level as Hou Zhiyong, the governor of Zhejiang Navy, thinking that Hou Zhiyong was still pulled up by himself, Rong Hai had a toothache for a while.

Rong Lan didn't care too much about this, "If you can descend, you can be promoted, as long as the emperor still values you, one and a half grades, but you can be promoted by finding a starting point, my daughter thinks that this demotion may not be the emperor's warning to her father, didn't you say it, Lord Qincha is called Xuanwei, but in fact, there is another purpose, the emperor is not at ease with your father?" ”

What he did at sea, the emperor was far away, and when he seized the wealth, everyone was tied up, and the ship was burned, Rong Hai believed that Emperor Longwu could not know, as long as this matter was unaware, as for eating empty wages or something, it was a trivial matter at all, which team did not have it? It was not enough to delight him as the Grand Governor.

Thinking of this, Rong Hai couldn't help but scratch his head, "Alas, if it weren't for this incident, I could also write to the past and ask the people in the capital to help us inquire about the emperor's intentions,"

He hated the Hu family a little bit in his heart, "Your mother really has no open-mindedness at all, she offended the eldest princess of Jinyang in vain, and now the thread of the Qin family is broken!" ”

Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have not been unified, and Wenchen has never looked at military generals during the Taiping period, and he disdains to associate with them, not to mention that Ronghai has been in Jiangnan all these years, and the little connections that were smashed out of silver in the capital are not useful at all at critical moments!

Rong Lan glanced out the window, sighed and said, "What my father said is that fortunately, there is still Aunt Lin, she is from the eldest princess's mansion, the last time I went to Miaoshui Nunnery, Li Jingyi didn't recognize her as an old servant at all, I think it may be that Li Jingyi was still young at the time and didn't have much affection for Aunt Lin, I hope An Guohou can still remember some Aunt Lin......"

Li Jingyi doesn't recognize Aunt Lin at all? And such things? Rong Hai frowned deeply, Aunt Lin didn't mention this to him when she came back, and listened to Rong Lan say, "I still want to make amends, Li Jingyi will experience the sincerity of our Rong family if she has some ordinary feelings,"

Rong Lan seemed to have seen Li Jingyi clearly until today, "Father also knows, where was my sister-in-law with her at the beginning, I was really like sisters, and Aunt Lin knelt in front of Li Jingyi, but Li Jingyi said that if Aunt Lin felt that she was the person of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, then she would call someone to lead Aunt Lin and Rong Qi to Fangyuan and call them,"

Rong Lan glanced at Rong Hai quietly, and lowered her voice, "The messenger." ”

"Too much deception!" Rong Hai couldn't listen to it anymore, slapped the table and said, "How can this be reasonable!" How dare she? "So you don't take him, the Metropolitan Governor, in your eyes?!

Rong Hai thought that Aunt Lin had passed, no matter what, with the eldest princess's mansion, how could she speak in front of Li Jingyi, but she didn't expect that not only did she not say a word, but she was also humiliated, and even her son was regarded as a cheap servant, "Hanmo didn't even mention it to me,"

Ink? It's quite close, Rong Lan lowered her eyes and said, "I think it's Aunt Lin who is afraid that your father will be angry, and in the opinion of her daughter, but Aunt Lin goes to see An Guohou, people may not give her a good face, we can't get together and ask someone to slap her face!" ”

Thinking of Li Yuanshan's attitude towards himself and Rong Zhi in the court, and then thinking about the relationship between Li Yuanshan and the eldest princess of Jinyang, when the Rong family asked to marry Li Jingyi, Li Yuanshan was categorically opposed, Aunt Lin was the maid next to the eldest princess of Jinyang, but she became her own concubine, she was afraid that she was poking Li Yuanshan's heart in the past.

"It's that I want to make a mistake," Rong Hai nodded, "It's okay if Li Yuanshan is gone, the matter has come to this point, and we don't have to take it upon ourselves anymore," he is also the governor of the water master, since the emperor has made a decree, everything that should be punished has been punished, and there is no need to send his concubine to step on others.

Rong Lan pursed her lips and suppressed the smile on her lips, what Aunt Lin relied on was that she was an old person in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she has gained a lot over the years, at least except for her, no aunt in this mansion can give birth to an heir, and now that the Hu family has fallen, she feels that she has a bright future? It's delusional!

Rong Hai looked at the obedient and intelligent daughter in front of him, such an excellent daughter, but he was harmed by a pair of confused mother and son, "Alas, originally I thought that the emperor has not had a serious heir in his thirties, and it is a matter of time before the harem is accepted, if you can enter the palace, there is still a lot to do." ”

Rong Lan's brows moved, thinking of the reason why the eldest princess of Jinyang was grounded, her face flushed, and her voice was like a gnat, "Father......"

Although Yunchi is good, the attraction of Emperor Longwu is greater, and Rong Lan has also heard Rong Zhi say that Emperor Longwu is also handsome, especially in this situation, if he wants to step on Li Jingyi and be the favorite concubine of Emperor Longwu, it is much more effective than being the wife of Enyihou.

Rong Lan quickly made a judgment in his heart, raised his head and said, "Father also said that it was a matter of time before the emperor accepted a concubine, and now it seems that it is a good thing that he rejected the invitation of the eldest princess of Jinyang, if the draft really starts, our Rong family is on the cusp of the ......"

Rong Lan thought about the operability of this matter, "Since the emperor has a deep affection for the queen, it is unlikely that the general election, and judging from the previous practice, most of the concubines in my high position are also from famous families, and my identity is enough, but I have to think of a way to make the emperor think of me......"

Otherwise, it will be solved directly in the nearest capital, even if she Ronglan is fragrant and beautiful, Emperor Longwu can't see her, it will be in vain.

If there is no such thing, they can also let Li Jingyi take Rong Lan back to the capital to live, and even plan to ask the emperor to see Rong Lan, thinking of this, Rong Hai's heart is dripping blood, he and Rong Lan glanced at each other, and they both saw the same regret in each other's eyes, "What do you think should be done with your mother's side?" ”

Tell her to say? Hu Shi is her biological mother, Rong Lan's eyes turned red instantly, she knelt directly in front of Rong Hai, crying silently, "I also beg my father to treat my mother well......

"Alas, you go back," no matter what the Hu family said, she was also Ronghai's bad wife, gave birth to a son and a daughter from him, and there was no great evil over the years, and the Hu family was Ronghai's money bag.

Rong Lan leaned on the lotus wind and wept all the time back to the Haoyue Courtyard, she drove everyone out, she waved all the decorations on the table and the Bogu shelf to the ground, and the crisp sound of broken porcelain made her heart happy for a while, but she still couldn't think of what to do.

Thinking that he knew that his father was in Fangyuan, Li Jingyi slept dark and sweet, and when she woke up in the morning, she vaguely heard the laughter and banquet in the western room in the tent, which seemed to be very lively.

"What are you doing over there? So happy? Jiexiang helped Li Jingyi pick up the account, and listened to Li Jingyi ask with a smile.

Li Jingyi and Li Chenggong, they are in a good mood, and they will never be angry because of this, Yuuka smiled, "Yesterday, Tao'er Xing'er went to listen to the trial, no, I talked about it again, how many times has this been?" Slaves and maids can't be counted. ”

Li Jingyi washed up with a smile on her face, "Is it up over there in Houde Courtyard?" ”
