——*——*——*——

"Well, I did." Qingdai honestly and sincerely explained the process before and after meeting Qinglian.

After hearing this, the old lady nodded and didn't mention anything about Qinglian, and said: "At the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet next month, the relatives of officials above the fourth grade in Beijing, the wives of various prefectures, and the noble daughters will all enter the palace to meet you, and the queen will send me a message to take you with me."

See you in the palace? Hand-picked by the Queen? Didn't you choose it yourself?

Qing Dai's head was a little dazed, and she was stunned for a moment before asking, "Can you not go?" Don't skip words.

It sounds like a great honor, but it's not a dinner party where you kneel all the way, salute everywhere and can't eat enough, and you are always worried about making mistakes and offending nobles. Qing Dai is not interested in this kind of banquet called the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is actually a blind date banquet.

The old lady glanced at Qing Dai angrily, "You girl want to be lazy?" Your sister Qingqiang is getting married, Qingwei is too young, and you are the only one in the family who is suitable to go with me. If you can't ask for it, you don't want to go yet. I'm determined, just you go"

Sister Qingqiang is about to get married, and there is only one Qinglian in the family, but Sister Lotus is a concubine, and her identity is not enough, so she is not qualified to enter the palace, so she can only take her turn. In the end, Qingdai couldn't resist her grandmother, so she had to give in helplessly.

When Qing Dai was talking to the old lady, in Lan Yuexuan, Aunt Liu was sitting on the kang, looking at her daughter standing with her head hanging on the side, her eyes were slightly cold, "Who told you to go to Rongxi Hall today to join in the fun?" ”

Qinglian was silent, sitting there and lowering her head to play with the handkerchief in her hand, and the slightly distorted white lotus pattern on the corner of the handkerchief could be vaguely seen.

Aunt Liu saw that Qinglian was silent, and said, "I know what you have in mind, tell you, die that heart as soon as possible." A person of Yu Gongzi's status can't climb even if it's Qingqiang, let alone you."

Qinglian heard that this was not pleasing to her ears, so she said angrily: "Why not? Just because I'm a nursery aunt in the womb, should I always be inferior to others everywhere? If I knew this, my aunt shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place."

Qinglian is annoyed, every time it is like this, you have to be talented but you can't show too much, for fear that others will say that you are frivolous; to be a little low in front of the lady of the main house, for fear of stealing the limelight of the girl in the main house; I want to behave in front of my father, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good marriage...... In the final analysis, it is not just that if you lose, you will lose in this identity.

"You ......" Aunt Liu pointed at Qinglian, her chest rose and fell, obviously angry, "What are you talking about?"

"I don't know what I did wrong, but I went to say hello, my father and grandmother didn't say anything, and my aunt couldn't be so careful." Qinglian slowed down her tone, remembering that she saw Yu Zidu in Rongxi Hall today, her cheeks turned a thin red, "I just want to give myself a future...... With a character like Yu Zidu, even if you can't be a main room, it's always okay to be a concubine, right? ”

When Aunt Liu saw her daughter's appearance of Sichun, a little calmed down anger came up again. However, she has always been able to bear it, and at this time, facing her daughter, she did not show excessive impatience on her face, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why the one who was squeezed out of Jiyaju was placed in my yard?" Do you know that your father is going to let the one in her belly go to my name later? "Don't skip words.

Qinglian heard her mother talk about this for the first time, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Ah-grandmother agrees? Bi Tao is the person who came out of her house, and I thought my father would give her a name. ”

Aunt Liu's eyes looked indifferent, but the bottom of her eyes was as cold as ice, "The court is starting to reform the canon, and there are strict rules for princes to marry wives and concubines, and after a person with a reputation marries a wife, he can only accept one concubine." Even if he can be a prince of the country, he will only have two concubines at most, not to mention that he is only a candidate for the prince now. Your father is worried about his career and will not carry another concubine, which just weighs the hearts of some people......"

When Qinglian heard the news that she was going to change the ceremony, she was stunned and said, "How is it possible?"

"Nothing impossible." Aunt Liu looked at her daughter who was a little depressed and said comfortingly, "Aunt is from here, and she has eaten more rice than you have eaten." A person of Yu Gongzi's status is not suitable for you, even if you try your best, you won't get what you want. Your younger brother is quite motivated to study in the outer courtyard, although he is not as good as your eldest brother, but as long as he can make a name for himself, he will have his own way out in the future. Auntie is just worried about you...... But don't worry, my aunt will not let you be wronged, and will always find you a satisfactory person, not seeking wealth and wealth, but seeking to treat you sincerely. ”

"Sincerely...... If you want to find someone who is sincere, why did you still enter the Shangguan Mansion back then? ”

Aunt Liu's face was slightly gloomy, and she recalled: "Aunt Liu saw your father at that time......

"Dad is sincere to the eldest brother and eldest sister's mother, but he still obeyed his grandmother's order to marry Qingdai's mother; Dad was sincere to his aunt, but in the end, he didn't remarry Xiao Feng and enter the door. Don't want such sincerity."

After Qinglian finished speaking, she sat on the edge of the kang, looking at the blue and white porcelain plate on the table with a distracted look, and the tangled vines wrapped the lotus flowers in a silky way, even if the flowers stretched again, they couldn't break free.

She couldn't help but shake her head, looked up at Aunt Liu, her eyes were firm, "Even if you change the canon, how many people can be sincere?" Sincerely, but can't eat or dress. Auntie, even if I don't have Yu Zidu, I don't want to marry a poor gentleman. What about couples in distress, who knows if they will fly separately when disaster comes? I don't want to wait until I see Qingqiang and the others are doing better than me to regret my aunt, you know? "Don't skip words.

Qinglian couldn't help but vent her long-accumulated emotions, and finally threw herself into Aunt Liu's arms and cried profusely. Aunt Liu hugged her daughter, remembering the so-called loving past, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, reached out and slowly stroked her daughter's back, and said softly: "Qinglian, don't worry, I Liu Hanyan has never raised her head in front of others all my life, no matter what, I can't let you be like this anymore."

After hearing this, Qinglian couldn't suppress her crying anymore, and shouted "Mother-", Aunt Liu listened, and even more tears welled up, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried as if venting.

……

The east wing of Rongxi Hall.

Qing Dai went back to the room and opened the carved wooden box sent by Yu Zidu, there were five books in it, she took one out casually, stared at it, her eyes were a little straight, she flipped through it quickly, and finally closed the book, puffed out her cheeks, knocked on the table with her fat fingers, and sighed: "This time I owe a lot of favors, how can I pay it back."

"Girl, what's wrong with you? It's just a few books. Xinghua glanced at the book on the table and wondered.

"This is a lonely book, and I don't have enough money. How many people want to have it yet...... "Although the thing is good, it is a little hot."

"Ahh

"yes, why is it so rare--" Qing Dai snorted depressedly with her hands on her cheeks, "I'll have to look for it when I go back and see if there's anything suitable to give in return...... Yu Zidu, why don't you look at the price of this thing......"
