"Miss Wu thinks long-term." The corners of Jiang Cailing's lips raised a sneering smile, "But next time, please ask Miss Wu to say it in your Wu family, don't affect our loyal and righteous Hou Mansion." ”

"You came back so late, I see that you obviously went to the wild man with the Tenth Highness behind your back, you are really a debauchery and evil slut!" Wu Xiaoyao opened her lips and said something, but was forcefully pulled by the old mother, she unwillingly flicked her sleeves and was about to leave, glaring at Jiang Cailing fiercely.

It seems that the Wang family should indeed be defeated in the past hundred years, first there are unscrupulous descendants like Wang Fugui, and then there are granddaughters-in-law like Wu Xiaoyao, the same flamboyant and domineering, the same stupidity.

I don't know why Luan Wenzhi chose such a person among the nobles in Nan'an City, thinking that he could rely on the military strength of the Wu family to consolidate his imperial power, but he didn't expect that Wu Xiaoyao was destined to destroy his great cause.

Jiang Cailing didn't think about it, and raised her hand again, Wu Xiaoyao thought that Jiang Cailing was going to beat her, so she hid back in fear, but Jiang Cailing just tidied up her bedclothes, sat on the chair next to her, and said with a smile: "Since you are here to enlighten me, how can you just leave!" ”

If you don't leave now, will you stay for the New Year?

The old lady narrowed her eyes and replied respectfully: "Back to the tenth imperial concubine, the old slave sees that your complexion is not very good, and please pay more attention to protect your body, don't catch a cold, go back and tell the queen to send some good supplements, I believe the queen will be able to sympathize with you." But after all, you are the future crown princess today, and please apologize. ”

Salute first and then soldier, sure enough, it is an old woman from the palace, who understands the weaknesses of human nature very well.

Jiang Cailing squinted at her, "What if I say no?" ”

The old lady said with a straight face, "The old slave will tell Your Majesty the truth, and Your Majesty will naturally make the fairest treatment." ”

Wanting to use Emperor Chu to suppress her, Jiang Cailing sneered, "Since you want to sue Your Majesty, Mama, then it is better for Concubine Ben to drag my dilapidated body to go for a walk, and then tell Your Majesty what Miss Wu said just now." ”

The old lady no longer had a smile on her face, and said with a stretched face, "In this case, the old slave can only tell the truth, Miss Wu, let's go." ”

"Is it true that our Hou Mansion is where you can come and leave as you want! Ah Xiao stopped two distinguished guests for the concubine! Jiang Cailing shouted.

The old lady saw He Xiaoxiao, who had a saber tied around her waist, blocking the door, and she had a posture of being a husband and a man, so she frowned and said, "Ten Imperial Concubines, what are you doing?" ”

Jiang Cailing ordered someone to bring the tea and fruit plate, and said leisurely: "Since the two of you are here by order, you naturally have to wait until there is no more knot between me and His Royal Highness Ten before leaving." ”

Wu Xiaoyao was in a rage at this time, and her eyes were full of anger, "This is house arrest, I will ask Your Majesty about your sin!" ”

"The future crown princess is really joking, the queen mother is the mother of the world, she is the mother of a country, and the contradiction between me and Qingcheng does depend on the adjustment of the queen mother. Besides, we are all family, and since you can break into my room, you will definitely not mind my hospitality, so stay two more for a while. ”

It was not early outside, and the moon was already hanging in the middle of the sky. Wu Xiaoyao is the daughter who has not left the cabinet, and she must be gossiping when she spends the night outside. Since Wu Xiaoyao said just now that she was debauched and evil when she returned late, then if she Wu Xiao spent a night outside, wouldn't she be able to be called a man?

Although Jiang Cailing doesn't mind her bad words and comments all over the city, what arrogance and domineering, and what jealousy are all harmless, but once rumors of obscenity and evil begin to circulate in the market, it will be difficult to control.

So she had to pull Wu Xiaoyao into the water today, and Empress Chu would naturally take into account the reputation of her future daughter-in-law.

He Xiaoxiao was no longer at the door, walked in with tea and pastries, put them on the mahogany table, and poured tea and water for the two of them with a respectful attitude.

The old lady had long known the reputation of the ten imperial concubines, and with her vigorous and resolute methods in the palace for decades, she naturally did not put this little yellow-haired girl under her nose, but she didn't expect Jiang Cailing to be such a ruthless character.

The old lady naturally knew Jiang Cailing's intentions, but she just thought that they had bumped into her today and were unhappy. It doesn't matter if she stays here for one night, but Wu Xiaoyao, who is clear and jade, can't stay, but looking at the other party's posture, there is no hint of relaxation.

I couldn't help but blame Wu Xiaoyao in my heart, a good official lady was like a shrew scolding the street just now, Zhenzhen and the two of them in front of the queen, if she wasn't the daughter of General Wu, the prince would definitely look down on her.

Things can't be so stiff. If she really trapped the old lady beside the queen and the young lady of the Wu family in the Hou Mansion, it would undoubtedly attract unwarranted suspicion. Since she has made a black face, someone must make a white face.

Jiang Cailing got up and opened the window, holding a Go chess piece in her hand, and beat the rhythm seemingly unintentionally under the small lantern.

Knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns.

Crane Wind, who was in the dark, understood this gesture and disappeared into the vast night as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

After a while, Wang Qiuyun came, with eight treasures patterned autumn Luo clothes, green lotus color plate gold embroidered pleated skirt, two brightly colored pearls hanging in her ears, and her grace and bearing were not inferior to those of the royal ladies.

"Mother, why are you here?" Jiang Cailing asked pretending to be surprised.

"If I don't come, how can I know what good you have done?" Wang Qiuyun said a word and stopped paying attention to Jiang Cailing, and Roubu walked to Wu Xiaoyao and the old grandmother, "My family is a little straighter, and our husband and wife are too spoiled by her, so they let her do this kind of thing!" ”

When Wu Xiaoyao heard this, she immediately opened her mouth angrily, "Xie Hou and his wife are too indulgent to the Ten Imperial Concubines, and they dare to put me and the Empress Mother's close grandmother under house arrest here!" ”

Wang Qiuyun smiled, "It's true that we are too indulgent, so that we Yunyang don't know about the sinister things in the world." She originally wanted to entertain the two of you, and she didn't want you to leave, so she kept the two. But in the eyes of those narrow-minded, stupid and ignorant people, I am afraid that we still think that we Yunyang have other ideas! ”

Wu Xiaoyao was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes, she didn't expect that this Mrs. Hou Mansion turned out to be Jiang Cailing is a raccoon dog, and her ability to beat around the bush and scold people is really powerful.

The Xie family is well-known for protecting their shortcomings, and the old lady knows that she is planted in this Hou Mansion today, and all the good and bad people are all done by the people in Xie Hou's Mansion, she can only be dumb and can't say that she has suffered from Coptis chinensis.

Pulling Wu Xiaoyao to leave quickly, Xie Hou's mansion returned to calm.

Wang Qiuyun withdrew from the other idlers and others, and let He Xiaoxiao and Xu's mother wait at the door, preventing the worry that the wall has ears.

This is the first time since Jiang Cailing married into the Ten Princes' Mansion that the two of them have talked at night.

Wang Qiuyun held Jiang Cailing's hand tightly, her eyebrows and eyes stained with years of wind and frost already had some lines, Jiang Cailing's heart suddenly moved, and an inexplicable emotion surged into her heart.

The closeness brought by blood will not be alienated because of people's thoughts, even if Jiang Cailing doesn't want to have too much emotion with Xie Hou and his wife, but in the face of blood, she still feels that she can't give up.

Wang Qiuyun said worriedly, "I noticed something was wrong yesterday, what is going on between you and the Tenth Highness?" ”

She had explained the truth of this matter to Marquis Xie in detail in the letter before, presumably he did not tell Wang Qiuyun, Jiang Cailing made a long story short: "He and his real sweetheart Du Nianyu went to the temple to seek marriage, if I let them go as the main room, it will arouse suspicion." ”

Wang Qiuyun sighed, "I also heard your father mention a little thing, but I didn't expect it to be like this...... Is there really no affection between you? Did he touch you? ”

"No, don't worry, mother, I won't do anything bad for me. When he ascends to the throne, you and your father can be disarmed and returned to the field, and you don't have to pay attention to the intrigue in Nan'an City. ”

"I'm sorry for you, my child." Wang Qiuyun looked down and saw the jade pendant that Jiang Cailing had been hanging on her waist, and a gentle smile rose on her lips, "You are a smart child, even smarter than I thought, I am really grateful to the He family and his wife who raised you and taught you so well." I remember that you were married in Luoyang. ”

Jiang Cailing didn't know why she suddenly said this, but she still nodded.

Wang Qiuyun smiled and said, "Zhou Guo Gu Xiang has a high prestige among the nations, no wonder you fall in love with him." ”
