When the queen saw Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen coming, she put the teacup in her hand to the side, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you still have to go shopping after seeing your seventh sister-in-law, why did you go back to the palace so quickly?" ”

Princess Fuqing pursed her lips and said, "Those shops are still closed, so I had to come back early." ”

She deeply suspected that the queen mother had known this for a long time, so she agreed to be so happy.

The queen looked at the fourteenth princess and asked, "Have you seen Princess Yan?" ”

The two princesses said in unison, "I see." ”

"Uh, what did you say?"

Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen glanced at each other.

The queen raised her eyebrows: "What?" ”

Princess Fuqing pursed her lips and said, "When we went, the seventh sister-in-law was praying in the small Buddha hall and didn't speak......

The queen's heart skipped a beat, and she said quietly: "Why didn't you speak?" Didn't you wait for Princess Yan to sit down and leave after chanting? ”

Princess Fuqing didn't notice anything wrong, and said with a smile: "The seventh sister-in-law's personal maid said that the seventh sister-in-law had a dream, and the person in the dream instructed her to keep silent and show more sincerity, so that not only can the seventh brother come back earlier, maybe there will be unexpected joy." We had no choice but not to disturb the seventh sister-in-law. ”

The queen always felt a little strange when she heard this, sent the two princesses away, thought about it, and quietly called the fourteenth princess back.

The fourteenth princess stood in front of the queen for the second time, and knew that today's trip was not so simple.

She is a person who understands proportions, and the queen stands obediently without opening her mouth, not saying a word more.

The queen nodded secretly and said, "Fourteen, you and Fuqing did meet Princess Yan?" ”

"See."

"Then you tell me about the situation carefully."

"After the thirteenth sister and I arrived, we waited in the flower hall for a while, and then we were led to a small Buddha hall by a grandmother. There were two handmaidens waiting there, the personal handmaidens who called themselves the Seventh Sister-in-law—"

"What about Princess Yan?"

"The seventh sister-in-law was in the small Buddha hall, we didn't go in, and stood outside the door to greet the seventh sister-in-law."

"In other words, you haven't spoken to Princess Yan from beginning to end?"

"Hmm."

The queen pondered for a long time and asked, "You really didn't admit your mistake, that was Princess Yan?" ”

The queen's questioning became more and more strange, which made the fourteenth princess's heart skip a beat.

She was a cautious person, and after a little hesitation, she considered it: "My daughter didn't see the seventh sister-in-law much, and it was indeed the seventh sister-in-law at that time......

The queen nodded: "Then you can go back." Don't tell anyone about today's events. ”

The fourteenth princess blessed the queen: "The queen mother can rest assured, the daughter understands." ”

The queen was very satisfied with the fourteenth princess's knowledge, and rewarded her with a pair of gold bracelets to take away.

The fourteenth princess accepted it calmly and left silently.

The queen leaned against the screen and groaned.

When it was time for dinner, Emperor Jingming sent someone to spread the word, saying that dinner would be used in Kunning Palace, and the queen hurriedly ordered the small kitchen to prepare it.

It gets dark early, and the Kunning Palace lights up strings of red lanterns early, and the room looks warm and peaceful.

But Emperor Jingming's mood was a little urgent, and after a few bites of hastily eaten, he retreated from the palace maid who was waiting, and asked the queen with tea: "Fuqing, they are back, have you seen the seventh daughter-in-law?" ”

"When I went, Princess Yan was worshipping the Buddha, and the two of them didn't stay long, they only met at the door......"

After listening to the queen, Emperor Jingming breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and showed a smile: "The seventh daughter-in-law is really calm, it is not easy for young people to be like this." ”

Instead of him reciting the scriptures, he fell asleep early.

The queen thought for a long time, but because there was no clear basis, she didn't say that strange feeling, and echoed with a smile: "Princess Yan is so sincere, King Yan will definitely return early." ”

Emperor Jingming frowned when he heard the queen mention his son, and said dissatisfied: "I haven't come back after going out for so long, this kid is stubborn, and he has to do some things that he knows are useless." ”

It is said that the body of the son of Dongpingbo fell into the Jishui River, and the Jishui River is magnificent and not a small ditch, and trying to find the body is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The queen had a good impression of King Yan and his wife, and said with good words: "King Yan loves Princess Yan, this is a good thing." ”

Emperor Jingming snorted coldly: "If you run so far and leave your daughter-in-law to chant scriptures every day, you are not afraid that your daughter-in-law will really devote herself to the Buddha——"

"Ahem." The more the queen heard what the emperor said, the more unseemly she became, and coughed lightly twice.

Emperor Jingming seemed to have a heart on his mind, and the whole person seemed relaxed, and he rested directly in Kunning Palace.

In Yuquan Palace, Concubine Xian heard that Emperor Jingming was resting in Kunning Palace, and she was full of resentment.

The emperor really wants to rest at which young and beautiful goblin he wants, but he actually rests at the queen's place, what does this make them, the old men who have been in the palace for many years, think?

These days, Concubine Xian only feels that everything is not going well.

If the fourth daughter-in-law loses her life, she will be rescued, and she can only let her occupy the position of Princess Qi in the short term, but she can't take care of the inner house for the fourth daughter-in-law.

In this way, the fourth child will be tired, not to mention anything else, this fourth child is so low-key, although it is to avoid the limelight, but she still feels distressed when she looks at it.

Now that he is obviously the fourth most qualified, but the emperor didn't show it at all, what do you think?

Thinking about the importance that the emperor has attached to the queen in the past two years, Concubine Xian was inexplicably a little panicked, and thought about taking the opportunity of the New Year to invite her sister-in-law Wei into the palace to remind her.

In the next day, Concubine Xian invited Duchess Wei into the palace on the grounds that she missed her relatives during the New Year.

Concubine Xian hadn't seen Wei's for a few days, and when she saw her in the dormitory today, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Why does my sister-in-law look not very good?" ”

Her sister-in-law is a sweet-faced and bitter-hearted person, because she always puts on a gentle appearance, she doesn't look like a person who has a firstborn son two years ago.

But now that I look at it, it is obviously old.

The white hair that can't be hidden in the sideburns, the drooping corners of the eyes, and the poor complexion, all aspects show old age.

Hearing Concubine Xian's question, Wei sighed: "There's nothing to hide from Niangniang, it's not that I'm angry with the third and my family!" ”

If it had been earlier, Wei's would have held on, but the third daughter-in-law had been married in for a long time, and seeing that the third room was getting more and more noisy, the originally well-behaved and pure youngest son had become a wanderer on the Jinshui River, and Wei had no strength to cover it.

"Yi'er was infatuated with Qiao Niang before, why did she make such a fuss?"

Wei snorted coldly: "The small family can't change the childish spirit of the small family, not to mention that he can't give birth to himself, and he is still suspicious that Yi'er has an affair with the maid every day." Yi'er, you know, no matter how you are, you won't come with the maids around you, but you can't stop her from being so noisy every day, and there are too many times that a friend who is out of tune to pinch her, but she will start running towards the Jinshui River. I wouldn't be worried if he took in a few innocent maids, but what kind of pickled goods are on the Jinshui River......
