Qian's elder brother Qian Zhen is very competitive, and has a unique way of doing business, most of the transactions in Chuling Wangfu are watched by Qian Zhen, and for various reasons, Qian can enter the palace as a wife.

Qian Qing Qian Zhao curtsied and said, "Aunt An." ”

Qian eased his cold face and supported the two sisters, "The family doesn't have to be polite. ”

Everyone gathered around to accompany Qian into the door, and after sitting down for tea, Mr. Qian asked, "Are you in trouble?" ”

"I heard about it yesterday, so I hurried back, but my brother fell in love with Wang Cheng?"

Qian Qing's face turned red, and she said, "I couldn't figure it out for a while, which made my father embarrassed." ”

Qian is a clear person, he has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and his ability to observe words and colors has been perfected, "Have you figured it out?" When? ”

Qian Zhen told the matter again, and Qian Shi breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved, and said, "That's good, that's good, Qing'er, my aunt will find you a good one." ”

"Auntie." Qian Qing blushed with shame, stomped her feet and said, "You laugh at me again." ”

Qian loves Qian Qing very much, Qian is eight or nine years younger than his biological brother, when Qian became married, he had no children and no daughters for many years, Mrs. Qian loved her sister-in-law Qian as a daughter, Qian respected her sister-in-law very much, when her sister-in-law passed away, she promised her sister-in-law to take care of Qian Qing and Qian Zhao, but Qian refused to continue the string, Qian did not object, Qian only gave birth to a son, and has been raised by the princess's side, and Qian's mother-son relationship has always been faint, through estrangement, Qian also knows that if the son is close to her, the child is the flesh that fell from the mother's body, No matter how hard Qian is in his heart, he has to endure it for his son, Qian Qing is delicate and lovely, and Qian loves her like a daughter.

Qian said: "Qing'er's vision is good, if Wang Cheng can marry you willingly, it will be a good marriage, but forcing Wang Cheng to join is a big disaster." ”

"How?" Master Qian asked nervously, "Does Wang Cheng have a foundation?" I heard the news, she is just the son of the Wang family, the widowed mother is not in good health, the family is slightly cold, although Wang Cheng is talented and has learned to show talent, there is no big comparison, I don't know if he can go to high school, how many young people who become famous in each big than the scientific examination fall to Sun Shan? Wang Cheng may not be able to go to high school. ”

"My brother must have heard of the name of King Xinyang."

Master Qian gasped: "Wang Cheng knows King Xinyang? ”

King Xinyang and King Chu Ling are the only two kings with different surnames, although they are both princes, but the palace of Chu Ling is far from catching up with the King of Xinyang, King Chu Ling has long been transferred back to the capital by the emperor to be idle, and the barrier guarding the southern Xinjiang is just in vain, and the military arrangement of the southern Xinjiang King Chu Ling is difficult to interfere with. The king of Xinyang is different, has been on the border, outstanding military achievements, the previous king of Xinyang sacrificed his life for the country, Xinyang King Qi Heng became famous as a young man, and now he is very important Qi Heng, the old lady of Xinyang Wangfu is the apprentice of Queen Taizu, and His Majesty has a brother and sister friendship, King Xinyang and Emperor Taizu once swore by blood, forever guard the northern frontier, never betray.

"He doesn't know King Xinyang, and his mother knows the old lady." Qian said: "It is said that it was a love affair more than 20 years ago, and the old lady has been looking for her benefactor after returning to the capital, and I only heard yesterday that it is Wang Cheng's biological mother." ”

"Benefactor? How do you say that? ”

Qian shook his head, "I don't know the specific details, but fortunately, the misunderstanding is open, Wang Cheng has the talent to learn and the help of King Xinyang, and his future will definitely be very good." ”

Qian lowered his voice and said: "The old lady of King Chuling said that the matter of Xinyang Wangfu is not clear, at the beginning of the rebellion of King Yin, King Xinyang guarded the northern Xinjiang first to fight the Mongolian iron cavalry, and then entered the capital under the order of Empress Taizu, so that the situation was reversed, and the King of Yin was captured. In short, there are legends..."

Master Qian stepped forward, and the Qian family asked Qian Qing and Qian Zhao to stay away, and said in a very low voice: "The old concubine of Xinyang King Xu is the daughter of Empress Taizu. ”

"Ahhh This... This..."

Master Qian was completely stunned, she was the daughter of Empress Taizu but not a princess, wasn't Emperor Taizu a cuckold? Qian sighed: "It's all a secret thing, except for the close ministers who followed Emperor Taizu to open the country, no one knows what happened at the beginning, the rebellion of the Hidden King killed a large number of princes, how many nobles are left?" In short, the Xinyang Mansion cannot be offended, although it is a king with a different surname, it was originally taboo, but His Majesty's trust in the King of Xinyang can be seen by everyone, and the smart and wise Empress Taizu is afraid that she has already made arrangements. ”

Master Qian nodded and said, "It's so hanging, it's hanging." ”

"Yes, after hearing about this, I hurried back, I was afraid that my brother would make a big mistake because of his love for Qing'er, I also inquired from the side, Wang Cheng is a person who repays his kindness and revenge, not to mention Xinyang Wangfu, in case Wang Cheng is in high school, my brother thinks about it, the Qian family forced him to join the family, forced his biological mother to death, can he withstand his revenge? The family of Shang Jia will never be as good as the official eunuchs, although I am in the Chuling Palace, but... Brother, you don't know how difficult it is for me, Chu Ling Wangfu is just a superficial scenery. ”

Master Qian's eyes crossed his heart, he sighed and didn't speak, Qian smiled: "No need to be like this, the road was chosen by myself, so that others will see how much I have been wronged, and they will say that I am not satisfied." ”

Qian took a sip of tea and asked, "Is it the misunderstanding that the young lady of the Ding family said?" The Ding family? Is it the Ding family who has been a Taifu? ”

"Auntie, it's Ding Rou, you don't know that although she is not very old, she is extremely intelligent, and Wang Gongzi admires Ding Rou very much." Qian Zhao praised Ding Rou again, and Qian Shi twisted his brows: "You are talking about the sixth miss of the Ding family?" Didn't she recuperate in Zhuangzi? Although I haven't seen her before, I have heard some news that Miss Ding Liu is a very strong person, but unfortunately she is a concubine, and a strong concubine rarely has good results. ”

"She has a bad reputation?" Mr. Qian didn't want his two daughters to be taken badly.

Qian smiled casually, "Mrs. Ding is a smart person, can the news of Ding's Mansion still spread everywhere?" Among the ladies of the Ding family, Mrs. Lanling Marquis is respected, and the rest... By the way, there is another Miss Ding Jiasan, I have seen the Buddhist scriptures she embroidered, and I don't have to say anything about the needlework, but I have worked hard. ”

Seeing that Master Qian frowned, Qian persuaded: "Ding Rou, who can say those words, is not an ordinary person, there are many things in the house, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you believe the rumors?" Since I caught up today, I will accompany my brother to meet Ding Rou. ”

Master Qian nodded and ordered, "Go and invite Miss Ding." ”
