…… When Qiu Yulan returned to the Beique Palace, it was already dusk, and Empress Jiang gave a family banquet - soon after the banquet was held, the palace people were dismissed, and only the female official Lin was left to serve the wine. []

The queen's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this: "So it is true that the emperor's heirs and relatives are all suspicious?" ”

Qiu Yulan said respectfully: "My niece is stupid and doesn't dare to talk about it. ”

"It's okay, since this was told to you by Empress Dowager Ye, you know best how she behaved at that time, and tell me what you think of her?" Empress Jiang muttered, "Is it true or false?" ”

"My niece has never seen Empress Dowager Ye before, how dare she argue about the truth of this statement?" Qiu Yulan first stated that he was definitely not familiar with the Empress Dowager Ye, and then said, "But thinking about what the Empress Dowager Ye did, it was all for Duanrou's consideration, Duanrou is the only daughter of the third sister, whether it is your grandfather or the fourth aunt, you have pity for the third sister's mother and daughter." So when Empress Dowager Ye was there, she did what she did, and she took responsibility for it, and she couldn't complain about the third sister's family; If the Empress Dowager Ye is gone, but she has nothing to do with her subordinates, when something happens at that time, it will be the grandfather and the fourth aunt who are kind, but the rest of the family may also have a grudge against the third sister. The niece felt that this should not be what Empress Dowager Ye wanted to see. ”

Empress Jiang said noncommittally: "It also makes sense." ”

Next, the queen asked a few more questions, and then drank the wine in the cup: "Lin, you serve the banquet of the Lan, and the palace will go to change clothes." ”

Qiu Yulan knew that the queen was going to think about the Empress Dowager Ye, so she hurriedly got up to send it off.

"How dare you work as a female officer?" When the queen left, Qiu Yulan smiled and stopped Lady Lin from pouring herself wine, "I've just eaten already, it's time to leave." ”

"Niangniang ordered the maid to serve you for a banquet, if you leave now, the mother will know that she will be angry that the maid is not attentive enough, so that you will lose the interest in feasting." Lady Lin insisted very calmly, "Please also ask the young lady to use some more!" ”

The two gave in, and Lady Lin gave in: "Then the maid will change someone to serve you?" ”

When Qiu Yulan heard this, a trace of anger suddenly crossed her eyes, but she immediately covered it and said with a smile: "The female officials have said so, how can I still refuse?" ”

Sure enough, Lady Lin went out and shouted Niguang to come in.

This time Niguang was obviously deliberately dressed up, with light pink narrow sleeves and a collar, a white midshirt exposed on the edge of the collar, a colorful silk ribbon tied around the waist, a goose yellow and emerald green intercolored skirt tied underneath, a bun on the head, two jade hairpins inserted on the face, and a powder on the face, which looked delicate and fresh.

She was also very attentive when she arrived in front of Qiu Yulan, persuading wine and food, and her words were considerate and well-behaved.

Qiu Yulan watched her performance coldly, and praised a few words lightly - originally after the queen left, she also wanted to go back quickly and think about what the Empress Dowager Ye said after calling her, first a female official Lin, and then Niguang, she lost her appetite more and more, and reluctantly delayed the meeting, in the end, she used the excuse that the palace gate would be closed again, so she successfully said goodbye.

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Tao naturally called her to ask again.

After dealing with her, Qiu Lulan returned to her courtyard, and her face was gloomy when she stepped into the door: "I am tired of entering the palace today, I want to lie down for a while, and I don't have to disturb me when I come back from nineteen!" ”

After saying that, he went back to the room, closed the door, and entered the tent.

After a while, Jiang Yashuang came back from the study in front of her, and heard that her wife was tired, so she went into the tent lightly to take a look, but saw Qiu Yulan holding the hidden sac, leaning on the couch in a daze, and she was actually stunned and crying!

He was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Even asked a few times, Qiu Yulan ignored him.

Jiang Yashuang had to guess for herself: "Are you distressed Empress Dowager Ye?" Then I'll go and tell my grandfather and fourth aunt to let her continue to live like before? "Anyway, Empress Dowager Ye won't live long!

Seeing that Qiu Lulan still ignored it, he guessed again, "Worried about Duanrou them?" Don't worry, she and the third sister are also the blood and blood of our family, and they don't know about this, how can they be wronged? ”

"Remember my brother? Recently, the news sent over there, my brother is very good......"

Guessing left and right couldn't move his wife, Jiang Yashuang couldn't help but feel very annoyed, sat on the edge of the couch and hugged her, and said helplessly: "Okay, tell me when you're in a better mood?" ”

"It's been almost a year since I've been out of the house?" Hearing this, Qiu Yulan raised his sleeve to wipe his face, and suddenly choked up and asked.

Jiang Yashuang was inexplicable, and said cautiously: "It's been almost a year...... What's wrong? ”

"I'm not pregnant yet, shouldn't I prepare someone for you?" Qiu Yulan looked at him coldly, "But I don't know what to prepare for you?" Pretty, submissive, obedient? It's like the kind that a lady Lin led me to show me today? ”

Jiang Yashuang understood why she was crying, and couldn't help frowning: "Female Officer Lin? It's her turn to take care of things in my backyard! He pressed his voice unpleasantly, "You forgot what I promised you?" Don't worry about these things, I think maybe the fourth aunt has relied too much on Lady Lin over the years, and she has lost her proportion! ”

Qiu Yulan actually hates most now is not Lady Lin - Ni Jin said very clearly, it was Queen Jiang who wanted to add people to Jiang Yashuang, and Lady Lin took the opportunity to recommend her righteous daughter Niguang, in the final analysis, the root of the bane is Jiang Yashuang's elders!

However, she can't say that Empress Jiang is not good, so she can only take Lady Lin first, after all, there is an elder henchman who wants to pave the way for the righteous daughter who is calculating there, and she really has no sense of security!

said lightly at the moment: "Anyway, I've already seen the person, he looks pretty good, and he looks supple and obedient...... If you like me, I'll give it to you. ”

Jiang Yashuang's face suddenly turned cold: "Then you should ask me to release my wife's book, right?" Husband and wife, what sex do you. I don't know yet?! When I discussed the marriage with you back then, you said that you couldn't tolerate your husband and concubine, and you have been generous for only two years? Are you going to part with each other for such a thing? Are you dizzy?! ”

He felt that there was no way to understand this logic, and said hatefully, "A female Lin official is just a slave of the fourth aunt!" She recommended a mess of people I haven't seen before, and you're going to back down here?! I'm so unworthy, just come to someone and you want to give me away?! ”

"After seeing the Empress Dowager Ye today......" Qiu Yulan also replied coldly, but only halfway through the words, Jiang Yashuang's face changed suddenly: "Empress Dowager Ye?!" Didn't I say I wouldn't let you see her? Why did the fourth aunt still send you away? ”

Qiu Yulan sneered and said, "If I don't go to see Empress Dowager Ye alone, how can she confess?" How can your family rest assured if she doesn't confess?! Although after she confessed, your family probably became even more uneasy! ”

Jiang Yashuang's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Next time, tell me before entering the palace!" As I said earlier, since Empress Dowager Ye was able to poison His Majesty with a method that even the three prime ministers couldn't find out, who knows what hidden killer weapon is still in her hand and useless?! She was exposed by you again this time, and she wanted to call you to go, who knows if there is malicious intent?! So don't let you go - if you really want to coax her to confess, you can't use a stand-in? She hasn't seen you anyway! ”

He exhaled, "I'll ask my grandfather and fourth aunt tomorrow!" Who made them change their minds again! ”

"Then my grandmother will talk to me and ask me to be more virtuous, and don't keep pleading you with your family!" Qiu Yulan didn't appreciate it at all, and said coldly, "Don't talk about the fact that I took the initiative to give you ten or eight concubines, and swallowed all the grievances I suffered like the eighth sister-in-law, it probably meant that I was ashamed of my shallow virtue and couldn't make your daughter-in-law invite herself to the court——"

"Grandmother is old, you can just listen to what she says!" Jiang Yashuang's brows furrowed even tighter, "As for whether there are people in this courtyard or not, it's up to us to decide." I said that I won't let you be wronged, then I definitely won't embarrass you......"

"I went out of Ganli Palace today and went to Beique Hall to restore my life." Qiu Yulan sneered, "After telling the fourth aunt, the fourth aunt is going to change her clothes, and the female officer of Liulin will come down alone." How dare I be served by the fourth aunt's henchmen? After a polite meeting with her, she said to find me someone who could serve me well, so she brought a palace person dressed up in fancy clothes, and the meaning of that was ......."

Jiang Yashuang had a cold face: "Tomorrow I will go into the palace and tell the fourth aunt!" Female Officer Lin is indeed relied on by the fourth aunt, but the fourth aunt is not inseparable from her! ”

"Lady Lin has been serving the fourth aunt for so many years, how can she be a person who makes her own decisions behind the back of the fourth aunt?!" Qiu Yulan said slowly, and Jiang Yashuang paused for a long time before he whispered: "Why do you want to do this?" Although the fourth aunt has ideas, I am not an unassertive person. I promised you something, and I'll do it! Can't we say yes? ”

Qiu Yulan looked at him for a while, pulled the quilt, and said lightly: "I've not been very comfortable for the past two days, and the help in the third room can't help for the time being, so you can send someone to talk to the fourteenth sister-in-law later!" ”

Jiang Yashuang sighed: "Okay." ”

…… After he left, Su He came in with his feet and said in a low voice: "Young lady, don't be sad, is the son on your side......"

"You're eavesdropping again!" Before she finished speaking, Qiu Yulan suddenly lifted the quilt, twisted her ears, and said angrily, "You're really getting more and more unruly, aren't you?!" ”

Su He said aggrievedly: "No. It was Childe who found the servant after going out, and asked the servant to persuade you - Childe said that he remembered everything he promised you, so you don't have to think about it! ”

"Humph!" Su He overheard that conversation, and Qiu Yulan sat up with a gloomy face, "What do you know?" He himself is a man who keeps his promises, this big family, instigated up and down, who knows what he will think for a long time! ”

"But Childe hasn't become bad now, you will lose your temper with him, won't it make him more and more unhappy?" Su He pursed his lips.

"I just saw through Empress Dowager Ye's plan and solved a big problem for the Jiang family. Trouble - as a result, the queen still asked Lady Lin to hint that I would give nineteen concubines! Qiu Yulan gritted her teeth, "What Empress Dowager Ye said is not wrong at all, except for nineteen, this family is all ungrateful!" Once upon a time, this is an example of the Tao family! Don't you make a fuss when Nineteen thinks I have all kinds of grievances now, does he always think that his good grandfather, good fourth aunt and good grandmother will treat me like he treated?! ”

Empress Dowager Ye hugged the grievances for the county lord of Duanrou, and felt that Duanrou had accompanied Princess Yongfu for so many years, and there was no merit and hard work - but Qiu Yulan thought about it and felt that she was much more wronged than Duanrou!

Saving Xue Rongying and seeing through the way of the Empress Dowager Ye to get away with it, which of these two alone has not played a huge role in the political struggle of the entire queen party and even saved it? !

Moreover, the medicine that saved Xue Rongying was given by her mother's brother and saw through the Empress Dowager Ye's method of exoneration, and it was her own knowledge, and it had nothing to do with the Jiang family!

I don't ask my husband's family to pay attention to himself - the problem is that the front foot has done a big thing for you, and the back foot wants me to take a concubine for my husband, is it possible that there is a little Tao in the fourth room, and all the daughters-in-law in the fourth room must be as obedient as her? !

Qiu Yulan understands why so many daughters-in-law will divide the relationship between their husbands and their husbands' families, naturally some of them are daughters-in-law's problems, but there must be some of them forced!

"But those are all the elders of the son, in case there is a gap in life......" Su He reminded her worriedly: What if you are self-defeating?!

"Just to see which side he's on!" Qiu Yulan's face was expressionless, and he thought viciously in his heart: If this husband is with the mud or on the side of the elders, then he should think about a way out, so as not to delay his youth in the Jiang family!

At about the same time, Jiang Yashuang entered Qin Guogong's study with a gloomy face. ()
