Chapter 34: Prince Xiao's Mansion
Here, Shen Qingru followed Xiao Yuan back to the mansion with ease, but there were people in the palace who couldn't sit still.
Tao Ranju.
Gong Ling was walking around uneasily, "Auntie, the prince will be back soon." What do you say I'm going to do? ”
Gong Lan picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, and then said, "What are you panicking about, with me, are you afraid that I won't be able to protect you?" ”
Gong Lan is Chinese New Year's Eve. Plump, mature and charming. Even with his niece, who is more than a decade younger, he is not inferior in appearance. In every move, it is more charming.
She was born in the Chen Guogong Mansion.
Chen Guogong Gong Shang is the elder brother of the former empress. The first queen died of illness twenty years ago. Later, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lan Ting was established, and Lan Xianyin was the queen.
The Blue Empress is not favored, and the emperor's favorite person is the late Empress Xian.
After the death of the first queen, Gong Shang sent his eldest daughter Gong Jin into the palace. Gong Jin has a three-point resemblance to the first queen. Therefore, he was deeply favored by the emperor.
After Gong Jin gave birth to the third prince, she was made a concubine. Assist the Empress in the Six Palaces. No one in the harem can shake its status.
Gong Shangsheng has two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Gong Jin, entered the palace as a concubine. The second daughter, Gong Lan, married Prince Xiao Yu as a side concubine. The eldest son married the lord of Nanyang and later separated. The youngest son married the lord of Binh Duong. Gong Ling is from the county lord of Pingyang.
And the Gong family has also relied on several in-laws to successfully become a first-class family and become one of the hottest families at present. Even the Empress Dowager's maiden home, the Ningguo Mansion, has to avoid its edge.
Gong Ling was still a little worried: "But the prince is still in the army, and he will only come back tomorrow." Looking at the meaning of the old prince, it seems that it will be tried today......"
Gong Ling said, and couldn't help but stomp his feet: "I don't know what the prince thinks, but he actually took that stupid woman back in person." Naturally, she wasn't worried about Shen Qingru, and she wouldn't take ten Shen Qingru into her eyes, but Xiao Yuan's actions made her a little uneasy.
"I heard that the stupid woman also gave birth to a son, this is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the palace, and the old prince and the old concubine seem to be very happy......"
Hearing this, Gong Lan's face also sank. She is very favored, and even the stewardship of the palace is in her hands. can't stand the stomach and don't fight. After so many years, I was only pregnant once, and I was still a daughter.
It's the princess, who is cold all day long, and she doesn't pretend to the prince. But he was hit at one time, and gave birth to Xiao Yu's only son, Xiao Yuan. Now, Shen Qingru is also in the middle of the school and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Xiao family. How to let her not be depressed.
Gong Ling knew that his words had inadvertently poked his aunt's heart, and remembered that he would have to rely on his aunt in the palace in the future, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Chunlan, go and see if the prince has come back." ”
Chunlan responded, and was about to go out, when a little girl came to report in a panic: "Concubine Fang, the prince is back." ”
Forget Yueju, or the same as Shen Qingru when he left.
The big tree in front of the window is still flourishing. Shen Qingru didn't know what kind of tree this tree was, it was evergreen all year round, and it was quite good-looking.
Aunt Hua had already led someone to wait. When Shen Qingru had an accident, she was sick in bed. When he got the news, Shen Qingru had been taken away by Aunt Lan.
She didn't go back to the palace, but went to find Marquis Ning Yuan. has been waiting for news from Shen Qingru in the Hou Mansion. Until a few days ago, it was determined that Shen Qingru would return to Beijing. Shen Kuo sent her back to the palace to take care of it.
Her illness was strange, and if you think about it carefully, maybe it was Gong Ling who was making trouble.
From a distance, Aunt Hua saw Shen Qingru, Mai'er and Aunt Lan who were following Xiao Yuan. Aunt Lan was still holding a baby in her arms.
When people approached, Aunt Hua suddenly knelt down. "Miss, it's the old slave who doesn't take care of it well, so Miss suffers."
Shen Qingru hurriedly walked up and helped the person up: "What Aunt Hua said, it was Qingru who was ignorant, which made Aunt Hua worried." ”
Mai'er also stepped forward to persuade a few words, and Aunt Hua got up. beckoned his subordinates to place Shen Qingru's luggage.
Shen Qingru picked up a cup of tea, and before he could drink it, someone outside came to report: "Lord Shizi, the old prince and the old princess are in Mingxin Hall, let you bring the princess and the little master over." ”
Xiao Yuan said: "Got it." ”
Shen Qingru got up as an appointment and prepared to go to Mingxin Hall. As soon as he turned his head, Xiao Yuan was still stunned and fested in place.
Xiao Yuan originally wanted to see Shen Qingru's reaction, and then remembered that he had already agreed to deal with this matter. As soon as he shook his head, he saw the obvious impatience on Shen Qingru's face. Xiao Yuan's face turned dark, and he really had a brain pump, so he took the initiative to solve the problem for her.
The scale of the palace is not comparable to that of the Hou Mansion. The house of the Shen family was given by Taizu back then, and it was still the number one in the family. But compared with the palace, it immediately changed like that.
The size of a single round, the palace is more than twice the size of the Hou mansion. There are pavilions, strange rocks and flowing water.
From the Forgotten Moon House to the Mingxin Hall, it took a long time to stick incense.
Halfway through, Xiao Ji'er asked for her mother, and Shen Qingru hugged her for a while, and she was so tired that she couldn't do it. It was given to Aunt Lan again.
Xiao Yuan glanced at her several times. Shen Qingru felt unilaterally, and his eyes were full of contempt. So he glared back. Her body is so weak now, who is to blame? It's not that I didn't take care of the small buns when I gave birth to them, and I fell into some diseases.
Mingxintang, except for the prince and princess, almost all the other masters of the palace, large and small, are here.
scared Shen Qingru, who had just arrived, this dark room of people was more complete than the one who arrived on her wedding day.
The old prince has a total of six children. Four sons and two daughters.
Among them, the eldest son, the third son, and the second daughter were born to the old princess. The rest were born to concubines.
The eldest daughter died young. The second daughter married far away.
The eldest son, that is, the prince, inherited the palace. Because the old prince is still here, there is no separation. The other three sons also lived in the king's house.
Now, people are gathered here.
Shen Qingru's head was a little dizzy, she didn't know these many people.
The original owner married into the Xiao family, and it didn't take long for her to find out that she was pregnant. The old princess exempted her from asking for peace, and stayed in the Forgotten Moon Residence, rarely interacting with other people in the house.
Shen Qingru settled down: "Greetings to the old prince and princess, I have met all the uncles and aunts." ”
