Aunt Yan is an old palace maid in her forties, who is in charge of Yan Hao's pregnancy with women in the palace. Zhao Mingyue got married, and Empress Dowager Zheng sent her to serve Zhao Mingyue for a month, in order to show that she regarded Du Jinning as her own, she also sent Aunt Yan over this time.

However, because Zhao Yu had a concubine who was recently pregnant, Empress Dowager Zheng also explained to Du Jinning that Aunt Yan couldn't stay in the Du family for too long, and she needed to go back to the palace after ten days.

When Aunt Yan arrived, Du Jinning said to her, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion and for sending you to me, Aunt Yan." I'm fine now, and the palace can't do without you, if my aunt wants to go back, I'll send someone to send you back? ”

Aunt Yan didn't answer immediately, but asked, "What about the other palace maids and eunuchs?" Will they go back together too? She obviously knew that Du Jinning didn't need them to serve her.

Du Jinning smiled: "This is exactly what I want to tell my aunt." The people in my house are all from wild roads, and they really don't pay attention to the rules or anything. Now this is the princess's mansion, and the subordinates lose the royal face without rules. So I want to stay in the house for a month longer, and teach me the rules of the house. I'll send them back to the palace in a month's time. ”

Rong Li and Pei Li are the older of the four palace maids, they act calmly, and the rules are naturally better than the younger ones. Du Jinning's request is reasonable.

Aunt Yan was silent, and said for a while, "Actually, this trip out of the palace was not ordered by the Queen Mother to come to the slave maid, but by the slave maid herself." ”

Du Jinning looked at Aunt Yan in surprise: "Auntie, what's the matter?" ”

Aunt Yan nodded, "I'm old and want to go out of the house to retire." I also taught a few apprentices in the palace, and there are concubines in the palace who are pregnant and give birth, and I don't need them. ”

She looked at Du Jinning, "The princess is not in the back house, but in helping to revitalize the society, she is broad-minded, generous, and the slave is willing to serve the princess." ”

With that, she knelt down and made a big salute.

"Hurry up." Du Jinning is not used to being bowed down to like this, not to mention that Aunt Yan is about the same age as the Chen family.

When Aunt Yan got up, she said, "I don't like to play with people, so I can ask directly if I have anything to say." I want to ask Aunt Yan, a person like you, would you like to come to any royal family? When the eldest princess of Lu got married, why didn't you propose to serve the eldest princess of Lu when she got married, aunt? With the Queen Mother's love for her daughter, as long as you propose, she has no reason not to agree. ”

You must know that Aunt Yan will not only take care of the bodies of both parties in the affairs of men and women, adjust a reasonable diet, but also always pay attention to whether the woman is pregnant; During pregnancy, she will take care of her living habits, diet, etc.; When the woman gives birth, she is also a good stable wife. There are even some insights into the care of the baby.

This kind of talent can only be cultivated in places where there are more women in the palace, there are more pregnant women, more children, and often can be taught by the imperial doctor. With such a person by her side, a woman has quite a guarantee from the time she conceives a child to the time she gives birth. This is very rare in ancient times when giving birth to a child was like passing through the ghost gate.

Maybe Aunt Yan is not the only person in the palace, but when Zhao Mingyue got married, Empress Dowager Zheng sent Aunt Yan to the princess's mansion for a month, which shows that Aunt Yan is the best among them.

Although Du Jinning is now named the eldest princess, the emperor and the queen mother seem to value her very much, but Du Jinning knows that she and Zhao Mingyue are completely different from each other in the hearts of Zhao Yu and Empress Dowager Zheng. They named her the eldest princess, not because they had feelings for her, but because she would study high-yielding rice, which would be beneficial to the whole country.

Zhao Mingyue gave birth to a child and died, and they would be in pain; She Du Jinning gave birth to a child and died, and they just regretted it.

So she couldn't understand why Aunt Yan didn't choose Zhao Mingyue when she wanted to go out of the palace to retire, but chose her.

"The slave maid has been in the palace for a long time, and she is tired of fighting with people all day long." Aunt Yan sighed, "The eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom is a good master, but the eunuchs and palace maids around her are all out of the palace, and the Xiao family is a family, and the next family has many children, and the relationship is complicated. Slaves and maids don't want to get old, and they have to walk on thin ice, beware of others trying to harm them all day long. ”

Du Jinning looked at her for a while and nodded, "I understand." However, Aunt Yan is an old man in the palace, and I can see clearly what kind of status I have in front of the Queen Mother and the emperor. It's not up to me to have the final say on your matter, it still depends on the meaning of the Queen Mother. When I enter the palace the day after tomorrow, I will ask the Queen Mother. For the next few days, you will live in the house for the time being. “

Aunt Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, princess." ”

Seeing Aunt Yan say goodbye and leave, Du Jinning called the two palace maids Rong Li and Pei Li in, asked them what they meant, and left them behind.

Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi to seal a few thick red seals, called several other people, personally gave them the red seals, and said a word of thanks, and asked Yao Shuqi to arrange a carriage to send them back to the palace.

After such a toss, it was time for dinner.

Du Jinning called Rong Liang and Pei Li to follow and went to Qi Mansion together.

Qi Muyuan was strange, got into the carriage and asked Du Jinning, "Why did you ask them to follow?" ”

Du Jinning is cautious, unless he has other plans, he will not let his subordinates who are not his henchmen follow; When no one is available, she prefers to act alone.

"I was about to tell you." Du Jinning glanced at him with a smile, "Mother is the wife of a family, and she thinks differently from us, and she has always paid attention to the rules when it comes to getting along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." It's just that I have a lot to do in the future, and I really don't have the time and energy to serve my mother, so I may use some special means these days to make her no longer use the rules to demand me. What is your opinion on this matter? ”

Speaking of the Su family, Qi Muyuan was also full of helplessness.

He said, "I know what kind of person my mother is, and I know what kind of person you are. You just have to do it, don't worry about me. ”

He let out a long breath, "You don't know, because of my mother, I have always respected those daughters of the family. I'm glad I met you, otherwise I might have been a bachelor for the rest of my life. He also has no words about his mother.

Du Jinning laughed out loud with a "poof": "Co-author, or I saved you." ”

Qi Muyuan nodded solemnly, "That's true." ”

When they arrived at Qi Mansion, Qi Bokun had just arrived home. The group went to the hall and sat down.

In fact, the Qi family is also a family, far more than these few people. It's just that when Qi Bokun was worried about harming his relatives in the battle for succession, he asked them to let them go early. Later, Zhao Yu took the position, and Qi Bokun occupied such a critical position, and it was difficult to arrange for relatives to come back in order to avoid suspicion. The Qi family who are now in the capital are all distant relatives, and they have come to the wedding banquet yesterday, so they will naturally not be invited today.

Although Aunt Lin is an aunt, she is old and has served Qi Bokun for so many years, and she has worked hard without merit. So Qi Bokun sent a message and asked her to come to this family banquet together.
