Chapter 37: Everyone of the Xiao family
Shen Qingru easily returned to the Forgotten Moon Residence, and Aunt Hua was guarding the door, waiting anxiously.
Seeing Shen Qingru and the others coming back safely, he said happily: "Miss, the matter is settled?" ”
Shen Qingru was in a good mood and made an "ok" gesture, "It's okay." ”
Mai Er said proudly: "Not only is it okay, Caiyun was sold, Pei Lan died, and even the palace concubine was grounded for half a year." ”
Mai'er remembered the tragic situation when Pei Lan was dragged away, and she also felt cold for Gong Ling's indifference. Pei Lan used to rely on the palace spirit to gain power, and he bullied the people who forgot the moon house, and he deserved this fate.
But she was also single-minded, and in the end, Gong Ling didn't even say a word for her.
Mai'er leaned over to Shen Qingru's side, it was better to be her own miss.
Aunt Hua didn't expect Shen Qing to be so smooth. He said in a loud voice: "Okay, good." ”
I also heard Mai'er say that the old prince and the prince both recognized Ji'er's identity. It's even more joyful, I don't know what to do.
Since Shen Qingru married into the palace, she has been walking on thin ice every day. Now, the young lady is sensible and the young master is healthy, so she has nothing else to ask for.
Shen Qingru waited for their emotions to stabilize a little before saying, "Aunt Hua, tell me about the palace." ”
The original owner knew too little about the people in the palace.
In today's contact, Shen Qingru only had a general impression.
is a major event related to Xiao Yuan's bloodline, and none of the princes and princesses appeared. The original owner married into the palace for half a year, and he has seen the two very few times.
It is rumored in Beijing that the relationship between the prince and the princess's mother and son is not good, I am afraid it is true.
Shen Qingru was concerned about the affairs of the palace, Aunt Hua was naturally happy, and she was busy telling everything she knew, Shen Qingru listened quietly, and slowly sorted out the relationship between the characters in the palace.
In addition to the old princess, the old prince also has a side concubine and three aunts.
The side concubine gave birth to the eldest girl, the eldest girl died early, and the side concubine was too sad, and it didn't take long for her to go.
The old princess gave birth to the prince, the third lord and the second girl.
The second girl is also the only aunt and wife in the palace today. married the second prince, the current King of Rui, and became the princess of Rui. More than ten years ago, he went to the fiefdom of Dingzhou with King Rui and rarely came back.
The third master was appointed to follow the history of Sanpin's Shangzhou assassination, and he was also away all the year round, and he heard that he would return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, and he would stay in Beijing. The third wife was born in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and the concubine in the palace is the same family. The two have a son named Xiao Ran, who is seventeen years old. has the best relationship with Xiao Yuan. A family of three is very hearty and straightforward.
The biological mother of the second master passed away a few years ago. The second master is sleek, and he is the best among the three, and he is already from the second grade of Jingzhao Mansion Yin. The second wife's surname is Qi, and she is the concubine of the country's priest and the wine of Qisheng. The Qi family is a noble family. Although the official position of the Guozi priest wine is not large, it is full of peaches and plums. He has a lot of connections in the DPRK.
The second wife is familiar with poetry and books, and she also has the arrogance of a reader, and she is a little high. gave birth to a son, Xiao Zhuo, sixteen years old; A daughter, Xiao Yuesi, is 12 years old.
The fourth master is more generous. Worst of the mix. It is too often Shaoqing of the fourth product. And it seems that there is no hope of promotion in recent years. However, the fourth master's biological mother, Ding, is still there, and she is the only living aunt. Aunt Ding is honest and does her duty, and lives in the North Courtyard with the family of the fourth master. Rarely go out.
The fourth wife is Jiang Zifeng's aunt. The two have only one daughter, Xiao Yueyao, who is thirteen years old this year.
The men of the Xiao family are not lustful people. Although there are inevitably two aunts and concubines, they all respect the lady of the main room. There has been no such thing as spoiling a concubine and killing a wife. Well, except for the prince.
Coupled with the power of the Xiao family, many famous daughters are proud to marry into the palace.
As for the prince, in addition to the princess, there is only one side concubine in Gong Lan. In the early years, there was also an aunt surnamed Zhuang who died of hemorrhage during childbirth.
Leaving a girl, who has always been raised by the princess. is called Xiao Yueli, fifteen years old this year.
Then there is Gong Lansheng's daughter, Xiao Yueluo, fourteen years old.
The other masters, although there are few children, there are always so many sons. There is only the prince, Xiao Yuan is such a lone seedling.
From Aunt Hua's narration, Shen Qingru knew that the relationship between the prince and the princess was not good, it was like an enemy.
According to the news from Aunt Hua, at first, it was just the prince's unilateral indifference to the princess.
Later, the princess became pregnant, and the prince's attitude seemed to improve. But the princess ignored the princess,
When Xiao Yuan was about to be born, the princess and the prince had a big quarrel, the princess had a fetal gas, and Xiao Yuan was born in less than a month.
After Xiao Yuan was born, the princess moved out of the main courtyard. took Xiao Yuan and lived in the independent Zizhu Garden. This stay is nearly 20 years.
Within two years of Xiao Yuan's birth, the prince married Gong Lan.
The old princess is old, and the princess doesn't care about anything, and after Gong Lan gave birth to a child, the stewardship of the palace was handed over to her.
From Gong Lan entering the door to now, more than ten years ago, the prince's room has never accepted newcomers. Aunt Zhuang died in childbirth, and the relationship between the princess and the prince was cold. She is alone in the prince's backyard.
It is rumored outside that the prince has a deep affection for her. Gong Lan is also often proud of this.
Shen Qingru felt that Gong Lan was really thinking too much.
According to Aunt Hua, the prince lives in the barracks all year round and is away from home for nine out of ten days. The rest of the day I often slept in the study.
And since the princess moved out of the main courtyard, the main courtyard has been empty for so many years, and Gong Lan has mentioned many times that she wants to move in, but the prince has refused.
It can be seen that the prince is just like this to her. As for what she often talks about, her stomach is not angry, she really doesn't blame her stomach, but she has no chance to fight.
Even so, Shen Qingru's impression of the prince was still very bad. Just quarreling with the princess during pregnancy, he is an out-and-out scumbag.
Because of the princess, Xiao Yuan and the prince also had a poor relationship.
When he was a teenager, Xiao Yuan often quarreled with the prince. Later, he grew up and became stable, but he was a stranger to the prince. I can't say a few words a year.
Xiao Yuan has always respected the princess. The princess is such a son, and almost all the focus is on him.
Therefore, although the princess doesn't care about anything, what has to do with Xiao Yuan is what she does.
When the original owner first married, his reputation was already bad. But the princess was still very kind to her. Even if the princess doesn't go out much, she often sends people to bring food and clothing to the original owner. After the original owner found out that she was pregnant, she sent a lot of good things.
However, at that time, the original owner was bent on currying favor with Gong Lan, and everything sent by the princess was rewarded by her.
After a few times, the princess also faded to her.
The day of the accident. The princess happened to return to her parents' house, and the old princess went to the palace to visit the queen mother. Xiao Yuan's father and son and the old prince all went to the frontier.
If not, it wouldn't be that outcome.
After figuring out the situation of everyone in the palace, Shen Qingru sighed helplessly.
It is said that the deep house compound is the most complicated, and the four rooms in the palace live together, and there are more twists and turns in it.
Aunt Hua said that her mouth was dry, and Mai'er poured her a cup of tea.
Shen Qingru asked, "Isn't the prince at home today?" ”
Aunt Hua took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and replied, "The prince is still in the barracks, and he will come back tomorrow." ”
Shen Qingru said again: "What about the princess? ”
Aunt Hua glanced at her and saw that her expression was as usual, so she said, "The princess is in the mansion." ”
Shen Qingru sighed again. Aunt Lan and Aunt Hua glanced at each other, not knowing how to persuade her.
The princess is still in the mansion, and she didn't come forward for such a big event today, for fear that what Shen Qingru did before would really hurt her heart.
Shen Qingru supported her forehead, and she had to clean up this mess.
A few people were talking, and the little maid outside came to report: "The princess, Concubine Qin asked someone to send something." ”
"Oh?" Shen Qingru was slightly stunned, and said to Aunt Hua with some doubts: "Qin Xiyan? ”
Aunt Hua glanced at the little maid who had been announced, and when she saw that she was honestly bowing her head, Fang replied, "Exactly." ”
Shen Qingru bowed his head and motioned for the little maid to bring people in.
If you want to talk about this Qin Xiyan, Shen Qingru really doesn't remember much about her. Even Aunt Lan didn't find much news.
I only vaguely heard from the people of the palace that Xiao Yuan had a favorite girl who wanted to marry her, and for this reason, he had a big quarrel with the prince.
Because the prince wanted him to marry the palace spirit as the main room. Of course, the position of the main room was finally occupied by the airborne Shen Qingru.
However, after Xiao Yuan became an adult, he rarely quarreled with the prince. actually made an exception for this Qin girl. It can be seen that Qin Xiyan is indeed Xiao Yuan's love.
For the sake of these gossips, the original owner relied on the child in his belly, and also made a big fuss about Qin Xiyan's Qiushui Residence, and smashed Qin Xiyan's favorite pair of vases.
After Xiao Yuan heard the news and arrived, Qin Xiyan not only did not blame the original owner, but also said good things for the original owner in front of Xiao Yuan.
Then I saw the pitiful look, and the arrogance of the original owner was vividly set off. Xiao Yuan's eyes were disgusted when he looked at the original owner.
The original owner was even more angry, and smashed several cups in front of Xiao Yuan. The splashed debris scratched Xiao Yuan's face.
In the end, the original owner was blasted out of Qiushuiju by Xiao Yuan. and ordered that she was not allowed to get close to Qiushuiju for half a step.
The original owner drank the fetal pills for several days.
From this, Shen Qingru knew that this Qin Xiyan was a white lotus flower with a high rank.
