Chapter 16 Contributions
Qiu Yulan has only passed the door, and her foundation in the Jiang family is shallow, and she doesn't know anything about the surging contradictions between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the third room, and she doesn't know that she is considered by everyone up and down to enter the Jiang family, and she must be more and more like a fish in water and water gold, in fact, she has hated her aunt and mother-in-law to death!
After congratulating Sheng Sheng's death, she had to think about how to comfort Xin Fubing on the way back to her yard.
As a result, when I entered the door, I realized that Xin Fubing and Ou Qinglan had already asked the maid to say goodbye and left first.
Su He explained: "The old lady sent someone to pick it up. β
"I see." Qiu Yulan nodded, thinking to herself, "Strange Grandmother just asked me to bring the reward to the sixteenth sister-in-law for her, and the co-authoring is just to break me away and call the two of them over?" β
After a little thought, she knew that Mrs. Tao had no malice in doing this, after all, Xin and Ou were in her room, and the old lady called someone over, and it was a bit rude for Qiu Yulan not to accompany her, so let's accompany...... This matter is a mess, even if Xin Fubing suddenly changes his attitude and is willing to marry the Seventh Prince, there is no joy for the time being, and it is embarrassing to participate in it.
Mrs. Tao sent her to Sheng Shushui under the pretext of giving a reward, which also kept her out of the matter.
"Ask someone to classify the things in the treasury that congratulate the people of marriage, and maybe they will be able to use them in a few days." Qiu Yulan commanded, thinking of Xin Fubing's pale face, he couldn't help but sigh.
Su Hehe responded, and asked again: "Then the summer things are going to be cleaned up, right?" It won't take a few days to leave. β
"Naturally, but I don't know much about the nineteen things, you let Caiqi and them clean up first." Qiu Yulan said, "When Nineteen comes back, I'll ask him if he has anything special to bring." β
β¦β¦ In the evening, Jiang Yashuang came back, and heard Qiu Yulan mention the summer vacation, and said: "There is nothing special to bring, everything is in the other courtyard." He also said, "This year's summer vacation is a bit interesting, the Empress Dowager Gu ordered King Zhou to preside over this matter, and the fourth aunt is having a headache whether to arrange a general affair for the seventh prince...... I'm afraid that he won't be able to do it at a young age. β
Qiu Yulan asked curiously: "Isn't there a staff?" β
"Even if there are staff members in the back to make ideas, the commander on the scene must go into battle himself." Jiang Yashuang snorted, "How can the Queen Mother not try to dismantle the stage?" has no real skills, and rushes to do chores, but will ruin the smart and scholarly reputation that he has accumulated before - it is estimated that the Queen Mother is looking forward to this. β
The seventh prince is also fifteen years old, since he wants to compete for the position of the prince, it is really difficult to say that he does not personally do a few errands - but he has always had the upper hand in the direct competition with the king of Zhou before, if he misses in handling errands, it is inevitable that he will be caught by the queen mother and hit desperately, thus losing the early advantage that is easy to brush out.
"In this case, King Zhou has become barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, anyway, his previous performance has already lost to the Seventh Prince, and it doesn't matter if he loses face." Qiu Yulan thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but smile, "On the contrary, the Seventh Prince needs to defend his title, and the pressure is great!" β
She pondered for a while and said, "If you want to find something suitable for the Seventh Prince to practice, I have an idea. β
Jiang Yashuang kissed her on the cheek and asked with a smile, "What is it?" β
"Didn't you say last time that the Queen Mother wanted to descend Princess Changping, who was raised by herself, to Guo Qingwu, but was stopped by the fourth aunt?" Qiu Yulan reminded, "However, the Queen Mother's move is to win over the Zhenxi Army, and it is impossible to give up because of the fourth aunt's obstruction!" Especially since Qingwu is now on the gold list, he is still the only son of the Kuang family, how can Shi Han not expect him to get married as soon as possible and spread out? So the Queen Mother will definitely mention this matter again - the marriage of the prince and the princess has always been handled by the queen's mother, why don't the fourth aunt hand over this matter to the seventh prince to practice, so that the people on the Queen Mother's side will dismantle the stage again......"
Jiang Yashuang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but kiss her again, and said with a smile: "Lan Lan is smartβhow did you come up with this idea?" I've thought about several things for my fourth aunt today, but I didn't think of this! β
"It's not Cousin Xin's matter in my heart, as soon as you say that the Seventh Prince doesn't have a suitable errand to practice, I think of Princess Changping." Qiu Yulan slapped him and sighed, "Cousin Xin...... I don't know what will happen in the future? β
mentioned this cousin Jiang Yashuang in the next room, she also felt a little pity: "This can't be helped, Bicheng has no love for her, if it's something else, it's okay, for her marriage, how can it be possible not to marry her?" β
Qiu Yulan said depressedly: "I know-that's why I feel depressed, I just want to help Cousin Xin scold Oubi City!" β
"Bicheng is really wronged, he has never been close to Cousin Xin!" Although Jiang Yashuang and Xin Fubing are cousins in the next room, Ou Bicheng, a dead friend who grew up since childhood, obviously has a high status in his mind, and he is busy explaining for Ou Bicheng at the moment, "If you can't get married, how can you be reluctant?" β
"Alas! Let's not talk about it, let's settle! Qiu Yulan pulled up the quilt and covered his head.
Jiang Yashuang was angry and laughed: "We haven't ...... yet"
"Don't bother me!" Qiu Yulan unhappily opened his hand into the quilt, "I'm not in the mood today!" β
Jiang Yashuang saw that she was really not interested, so she reluctantly stopped: "We are still newly married!" β
After a while, seeing that Qiu Yulan was silent, he slowed down his tone, "In this way, you will enter the palace tomorrow?" β
"Do what?" Qiu Yulan sounded like she was talking about business, and put down the quilt and asked suspiciously.
"Didn't you have to tell the fourth aunt about your idea?" Jiang Yashuang said, "At the beginning of the year, for the ranking of Chunfu, the Queen Mother didn't care about Princess Changping's marriage, so she would almost free up her hands." Of course, let the fourth aunt prepare as soon as possible, after all, the seventh prince is too young and has no experience in taking care of general affairs before, so it is not appropriate not to mention him earlier. β
Qiu Yulan was reluctant, because it would inevitably be asked by the queen when she entered the palace, so she said, "Can't you say it?" β
"I have an official position now, and tomorrow is not a day off." Jiang Yashuang smiled dumbly, "Besides, you haven't asked the fourth aunt for peace since you passed the door, not to mention the side, you haven't received the meeting gift from the fourth aunt until now...... Loss or not? β
"The fourth aunt loves you so much, you are a hard calculation of her things, if the fourth aunt knows, see how to beat you!" Qiu Yulan was speechless.
Jiang Yashuang said quietly: "There will be no one else here, if you don't say it, I won't say it, you just want to invite the fourth aunt to enter the palace...... Wouldn't I have to be beaten? β
"I'm going to tell her!" Qiu Yulan snorted, "You unfilial nephew! β
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed - Jiang Yashuang took the opportunity to hug her......
The next day, Qiu Yulan got up, sent her husband away, and went to the main house to greet Mrs. Tao, who was very kind and exempted her from the courtesy and let her sit: "Today is not the day to ask for peace, you only ran once yesterday, but what's the matter?" β
"Grandmother has good eyesight!" Qiu Yulan looked around with a smile, and Mrs. Tao cleared the scene without saying a word.
"It's just that yesterday I heard that the fourth aunt was thinking about sending some errand to the seventh prince recently, and yesterday's cousin Xin's incident made the granddaughter-in-law think that Her Royal Highness Princess Changping has not descended yet......"
Old Madam Tao understood when she heard it, and said with a smile: "You kid is clever!" β
Next, there was no need for Qiu Yulan to mention it herself, the old lady directly found a reason for her, "It just so happens that your sixteenth sister-in-law is pregnant, this is a happy event, you should tell the palace." Ask for some good for that child...... Since it's the concubine in your room, let's take a trip. β
After getting the order of the old lady, Qiu Lulan went back to the room to change into a more formal dress, and went straight to the palace gate - with the current prominence of the Jiang family, the female dependents did not need to go through any procedures to enter the palace, and went directly to the palace gate to let the coachman report their identity.
After entering the palace gate, the road was unimpeded, and it was not until outside the Beique Palace that the palace people hinted to stop and wait for the summons - and it was only after turning around that Qiu Yulan straightened her skirt, and the palace people who went first to tell came out and said that the queen let her in.
Qiu Yulan entered the door and went to the hall, first invited Queen An as the county lord, and then invited her aunt An as a niece, and then asked her to get up with a smile...... I thought that after you got married, the Nineteenth would take you to the palace and take your share by the way. As a result, this kid is good, the day of leave is dedicated to accompany you, and after the errand, he concentrates on the errand, and he forgets the palace to the back of his mind! β
"I hope that the fourth aunt will forgive ......" Although Qiu Yulan knew that the queen did not really blame Jiang Yashuang, she still hurriedly confessed on behalf of her husband.
The queen really waved her hand unconcernedly and said, "This palace is just ridiculing...... Why did you come into the palace alone today? β
Qiu Yulan told the reason given by Mrs. Tao, and the queen was a little surprised, but there was also joy on her face: "Really? It seems that the sixteenth daughter-in-law is blessed, it's only been more than half a year, right? There is movement...... But it would be nice to be a male heir. β
"With the blessing of the fourth aunt, I think the sixteenth sister-in-law will be able to get her wish." Qiu Yulan said funny things on her lips, but she thought in her heart that it would be better to pinch or pinch off this sentence after she went back and tell Sheng Shushui, otherwise if it turns out to be a girl in a few days, the pressure of Sheng Shushui can be imagined!
The two said a few words, and when the queen saw that she still didn't quit, she knew in her heart: "In that case, let's talk to each other alone!" β
Sending the palace people down, Qiu Yulan repeated again that the Seven Princes could be allowed to preside over the descent ceremony of Princess Changping, so that the Queen Mother was bound and difficult to let go of the stage, and she could continue the name of the Seven Princes for their ability and intelligence.
Jiang Yashuang and Old Madam Tao both thought this idea was good, but the queen frowned after hearing it.
Seeing this, Qiu Yulan's heart was slightly awe-inspiring...... After a long time, the queen said: "In this way, the palace really doesn't have to worry about Weisang, but doesn't this mean that Changping's descent ceremony will be full of flowers?" β
Qiu Yulan was stunned, and then understood that the queen didn't want Princess Changping's wedding to be too good-looking.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Changping's decline is full of flowers, and what has been achieved is also the reputation of the Seven Princes, the Seven Princes are smart and capable, and what has been achieved is not the fourth aunt's discernment?" Qiu Yulan thought for a moment, and said after considering his tone and phrasing.
I also want Princess Changping's wedding to be cold and depressed, and I want to find an errand for the Seventh Prince that can show his face and make the Queen Mother feel jealous and dare not make trouble...... Where in the world are there so many best of both worlds?
Especially the Queen Mother's Party is not a soft persimmon, before Xue Chang's secret son did not work, this was an opponent who could only maintain a draw despite the queen's efforts.
Empress Jiang naturally understood this truth, and frowned before, also because she thought of the matter of descending for Princess Changping, and she had fought with Empress Dowager Gu for so long, and in the end, she still had to give Changping a decent descent...... Even if it is calculated that it is himself who gets the majority of the benefits, he does not feel very happy.
But the queen was not confused in the end, and after thinking about it, she nodded and said: "What you said is right, it's good luck!" β
After agreeing to this, the queen changed her words, and sure enough, she asked Xin Fubing: "She ran into your house yesterday?" How is it now? β
ββ¦β¦ She said that she was willing to listen to the elders, and yesterday she asked her niece to ask her grandmother for her guilt. Qiu Yulan thought for a moment before saying, "Cousin Xin...... It's also a moment of confusion to ......"
"Now that the matter has passed, don't mention it again!" The queen interrupted her intercession and said lightly, "Bring a message to the palace: let her recuperate with peace of mind and prepare for the big day...... Don't worry about anything else! β
Qiu Yulan was about to agree, but the palace people outside coughed - the queen raised her head and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?" β
A little palace maid came in lightly and said respectfully: "Niangniang, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping asks to see her!" β
Qiu Yulan showed a look of surprise: This is still really saying that Cao Cao Cao is here, shouldn't Princess Changping get the news so quickly?
"She doesn't want to curry favor in the Taishi Palace, what is she doing here in the main palace?!" Empress Jiang's face was also a little suspicious, her eyebrows raised, and she snorted coldly, "Xuan!" β
