Sister Yu has been raising Jiao Niang for almost a year this month, and she still remembers Hua Meiniang in the first month, and then she remembers to find a nurse.

How much effort did Jiao Niang make to make her go from not resisting to being close, and then to treating her as her biological mother later, how difficult this journey is, only Jiao Niang herself knows.

For a while, Sister Yu always had a high fever, and when she put it down, she cried, and Jiao Niang hugged her all night long, almost making her body too tired to hold on.

To say that at that time, she really wanted to send her back to Hua Meiniang, she felt stupid after being so tired and raising children for others.

But every time I saw Yu'er's pale face, I couldn't bear it, thinking that it was just for her to be willing to work hard.

She really felt that Yu'er was her child, and she just borrowed Hua Meiniang's belly.

But sometimes I get it, and I am most afraid of touching it and losing it. So she didn't let Yu'er see Hua Meiniang, afraid that Hua Meiniang would say something to Yu'er, afraid that Yu'er would think of something, and wouldn't recognize her as a concubine.

Ying Che also persuaded her not to always lock Yu'er in the Guan Ju Pavilion, let her go out to meet people more, Jiao Niang also understood that children should see people more, but every time Yu'er met Hua Meiniang, Jiao Niang's heart seemed to be lifted, and she was not stable.

Mrs. Zhou patted her hand comfortingly, "You are too careful, how long has it been since this happened, how could she still remember it when she came." Besides, she recognizes you as a concubine now, and it is impossible to think about anything else. ”

When Jiao Niang heard her say this, she also felt that she was thinking too much, sighed wistfully, and said, "I just hope for this." ”

The sunlight shifted, and a beam of golden light shone on Mrs. Zhou's face, which became more and more ruddy, she was silent for a moment, and then gently spread the smile on her face, and said: "What is in front of you, for you, this matter is nothing, the most important thing is the new resident of Li Yuanyuan." ”

She lowered her voice, "I look much better than her sister, yesterday I went to ask for peace, and I saw her scolding her mother-in-law and maid in the courtyard, just because the chicken cake made in the kitchen in the morning was a little salty, she scolded her for a morning, and there was some meaning between the words. ”

Jiao Niang smiled indifferently, "Someone told me about this, so what does it mean to scolding Huai, it's clearly aimed at me." ”

"Yo, someone is faster than my mouth. ”

"Han came once in the morning. ”

"Oh, I say, when I came out of the princess, I saw her walking so fast, and I called her a few times from behind, but I didn't hear her. ”

Mrs. Zhou opened an orange with her bare hands and gave half of it to Jiao Niang, "The meaning of the Wei Chi family is obvious, what does the prince plan?"

This orange is 600 miles rushed from southern Gansu, a total of two baskets, Yingche sent one basket into the palace, the other basket to Jiao Niang, she likes to eat oranges in this season, and only likes to eat this place.

This morning, when Yu Chihuan scolded people, he also mentioned oranges in and out of words, and he almost compared Jiao Niang to Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan loves to eat lychees, Tang Minghuang was tired of a few horses and transported thousands of miles, and Yingche's act of sending oranges was not much better than Tang Minghuang.

"The Wei Chi family only sent their daughter over, and didn't say anything, what do you want the prince to plan?" What Ying Che did was a big deal, although Mrs. Zhou was not an outsider and was as close to her as a sister, but she really couldn't tell her what Ying Che was thinking.

It's not to guard against her, it's just that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Mrs. Zhou took a look at her and said, "I'm afraid that you will suffer, the Wei Chi family is clearly going to send someone in to compete with you for favor, one Wei Chizhen has already made you uncomfortable, if you come in again, I'm afraid that your life will be even more difficult." And I looked at it coldly, that Wei Chihuan had a lot of means, just look at the restless minions in Li Yuanyuan. ”

In the past, the minions in the Jiao Niang courtyard were restless, and they wanted to go to the princess on an errand one by one, but now the feng shui is turning, and it is the other way around.

A few days ago, there were servants from Li Yuanyuan Courtyard who intercepted her halfway and begged to serve her.

But these people are not eye-catching, the master will follow the scenery when he is good, and as soon as the master loses his position, they run faster than a rabbit, lest they burn his tail.

Jiao Niang rubbed the corners of her forehead, she had been thinking about a lot of things in the past few days, and her head was tense, "Let her be, the soldiers will cover the water and cover the earth, and besides, I am not a fuel-efficient lamp." "With a bit of self-deprecation.

Seeing that she had a headache again, Shui Xiang took out an iron can from the rose-patterned mahogany box, dipped it in jasmine oil and gently rubbed it on her temples.

Mrs. Zhou said with concern: "It's not a way to hurt your mind like this, but you can ask the doctor to come and take a look?"

Jiao Niang closed her eyes, and her voice was infinitely tired and lazy, "It's not a big deal, so you don't need to trouble others." I just looked at the accounts for two days in a row, and I was dizzy when I saw it, and now I closed my eyes, and all the numbers were in front of me. ”

After talking to Mrs. Zhou for a long time, it was not until the sun went down that Mrs. Zhou got up and retired.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou left, Jiao Niang asked Shui Xiang what dinner she had prepared for His Royal Highness, and Shui Xiang was like a few family treasures, all of which were Ying Che's favorite tastes.

The fragrance of water is careful, whether it is her preference or Ying Che's preference, it is all in mind.

As he was talking, he saw Wang Zhan walk in.

"The prince is back?" Jiao Niang ordered with her head sideways, "Shui Xiang, let the small kitchen prepare for dinner." ”

"Don't worry, mother. Wang Zhan said busily.

"What's wrong?

Wang Zhan replied: "No, it's the prince who still has something, did he deliberately let the slave come back and say to Niangniang, I can't come back tonight to eat with Niangniang, so that Niangniang doesn't have to wait for him, just eat first." ”

Jiao Niang felt a little lost in her heart, she used to wait for Yingche to come back every day to eat together, and said listlessly: "Oh, the prince still has official business to do." ”

Wang Zhan raised his eyes to look at Jiao Niang, and said mysteriously: "The prince was declared into the palace by the saint, and the rest of the princes and princes also entered the palace together." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and continued: "Acchuki died in the prison of Dali Temple. "Be concise.

Jiao Niang opened her mouth in shock, and said in disbelief: "Dead?" shook her head, "How did you die?"

Wang Zhan shook his head at him, "I don't know, but I heard that the food sent in last night and this morning didn't move, and in the afternoon, the jailer cleaned up the cell, only to find that his body was already cold." I heard that the death is ugly, and the seven orifices are bleeding. ”

Shui Xiang smacked her tongue when she heard this, "Why did my father-in-law say this in front of his master, what should I do if I scared my master?"

Wang Zhan realized it later, and slapped himself in the mouth, "The old slave has a lot of mouths." ”

Jiao Niang waved her hand, "It's okay, I'm not so timid, okay, you can go back." ”

After Wang Zhan left, Jiao Niang couldn't sit still, she had a headache these days, not only because of reading the account books, but also because she had been thinking about Jiang Cairen's death.

She always felt that this matter had something to do with Ying Che, and thought that she was thinking too much, but now that she heard the news of Achuki's death, her suspicions were even greater.
