Chapter 32: Temptation by the Sword
The three of them couldn't guess Jiang Qiyun's intentions, but in the evening, Ni Jin came to visit on the order of the queen, and when she asked them if they needed anything, she revealed: "Before Niangniang summoned Princess Qi, one was because she heard that Princess Qi humiliated King Qi in public for some trivial matters, so she wanted to ask Princess Qi not to commit it again!" The second is that before Princess Qi met her, she heard that Princess Changping had sent a post to the two of them, and told Princess Qi to come over and say a few words to Miss Xin, and then she also accompanied Miss Xin by the way, but the princess ...... as soon as she came."
"I'll just say, why is she so angry in the first place?" Xin Fubing snorted, "It's like I robbed her of something!" ”
Before the words fell, the maid behind her hurriedly pulled her sleeve to remind her - Nijin is still there!
It's just that Xin Fubing didn't pay attention to it, and continued, "According to me, Gu Qianna's birthday banquet, this fifteenth cousin should not go!" Pinching this scene in our house today, it is already embarrassing to spread it, if you do it again in front of Gu Qianna, how can the mother have a bright face? I'd rather just the three of us go over - anyway, Gu Qianna, Tang Xinqiong, Princess Changping over there, counting the pregnant Tang Xinyao, there are only four people, only one more than us! Is it difficult for the three of us to settle them? ”
She so openly expressed her dislike for Jiang Qiyun, she was so anxious that the people behind her were worried, for fear that this word would reach the queen's ears and cause the queen's dissatisfaction.
However, Qiu Yulan and Zhuang Man were very calm - the latter felt that if Xin Fubing didn't say this, she would say it; The former knew from Jiang Yashuang that Queen Jiang didn't like Jiang Qiyun's niece in the first place, and it would be good if she didn't pit her, where would she be angry because Xin Fubing hated her?
"Simple Xin Fubing and Jiang Qiyun, the queen must be more partial to Xin Fubing! What's more, King Qi has been abandoned, but the Seventh Prince is the master of the queen's current support. Now that Xin Fubing has openly expressed her dissatisfaction with Jiang Qiyun, the queen is afraid that not only will she not be angry, but she will be satisfied that she has not hidden anything from herself - Ni Jin is the queen's person, what Xin Fubing said in front of her, isn't it equivalent to saying it to the queen? ”
Qiu Yulan sneered in her heart, "And how could the queen not know that with Jiang Qiyun's temper, how could she be able to suppress the anger of jealousy to guide Xin Fubing?" Plus I, who already have a grudge against Jiang Qiyun, is here, so it's strange if I don't quarrel! The queen did this, maybe she wanted to use Jiang Qiyun to observe Xin Fubing? ”
Xin Fubing was hurt emotionally, and succumbed to her unsatisfactory marriage under pressure, and her mood was very unstable. In this case, being provoked and insulted by Jiang Qiyun, a master who does not consider the feelings of others at all and is the only one who respects me, can best expose her true temperament.
And the queen can take the opportunity to understand the true face of this prospective daughter-in-law.
With the current power of the Xin family, the queen will not worry about being seized by this daughter-in-law in the future. However, as the wife of the Seventh Prince, Xin Fubing's future identity is also more important - although she is the queen's niece, she has seen the queen very little, and this will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, how can the queen not weigh her personally?
"But most of Jiang Qiyun came to me just now, and she was rushed over by Zhuang Man to stir up the scene, and I don't know if the queen's purpose has been achieved?" Qiu Yulan thought about it, Xin Fubing was obviously really angry, but it hadn't reached the point of gaffe, but she didn't know if this level could satisfy Empress Jiang?
But after thinking about it, "Anyway, this is the queen's business, why should I worry?" ”
She was thinking about the situation here, and Ni Jin really didn't blush because of Xin Fubing's dislike for Jiang Qiyun, but smiled and comforted: "Miss and the nineteenth young lady have been wronged today, and the mother already knows about it." Just now, Princess Qi was summoned by her mother, but she was reprimanded, and the maid whispered: The princess stumbled when she left, and the tears on her face were difficult to go...... I think it's the thunder that provoked the mother's anger! ”
As Ni Jin, openly describing Jiang Qiyun's embarrassment can be described as red. Bare. The naked bias was biased, and everyone naturally heard it, smiled knowingly, and thought: "Jiang Qiyun's temper is really offended wherever she goes, and even the queen's close attendants don't want to see her, that is, the King of Qi she married has a weak temperament to endure, and if she changes to a prince with a little self-esteem, I'm afraid she will already die and live!" ”
Xin Fubing heard the satisfactory answer, smiled slightly, but immediately changed to a melancholy color: "Is Niangniang actually angry today?" If you are angry, you will hurt your body, will this be okay? ”
Qiu Yulan praised her expression in her heart: "This cousin doesn't care if she still thinks about Oubi City, but she has obviously entered the identity of the future imperial daughter-in-law!" ”
Thinking so in my heart, my mouth was also followed by concern: "Niangniang has every opportunity, but she still has to worry about us, it's really ours!" ”
Zhuang Man's consistent heart is straightforward: "Jiang Qiyun has not achieved enough things and has more than one failure, since he came out of the cabinet, he has added to the blockage of his mother, and he has never done anything to win glory!" I looked back and shouted that she was grounded in the Qi Palace, otherwise it would be no good to release it! ”
Ni Jin was ready to answer Xin Fubing and Qiu Yulan's words, and when she heard Zhuang Man's straightforward shouting, her smile stiffened for a while before she reacted, and she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your words, the maid will tell the queen mother if she has the opportunity......"
When you are the queen, she wants to see Jiang Qiyun? But even if you don't consider the principle of Qin Guogong's preferential treatment of the big house for decades, just take into account the rivalry between the queen and the queen mother - Princess Yan, who has been in the door for less than a year, is pregnant and virtuous, but what about Princess Qi? Neither! still bullied King Qi...... If there is another grounding, can Empress Jiang still mention the word "daughter-in-law" in front of the Empress Dowager Gu in the future?
Afraid that Zhuang Man would say something even more unanswerable unscrupulously, Ni Jin hurriedly said goodbye, "If the young lady and the two young ladies don't have instructions, the maid will go back to the mother first?" ”
After she left, Zhuang Man asked Qiu Yulan: "I heard that at a family banquet yesterday, Qin Guogong was drunk and was treated as a coma?" ”
Qiu Yulan was taken aback slightly: "You didn't say anything about Jiang Qiyun just now, I thought I didn't know about it outside!" ”
"How is that possible?" Zhuang Man smiled, "You don't want to think about how many people are staring at Qin Guogong now, when his old man coughs, someone will try to find out!" What's more, fainting in front of so many people? ”
Xin Fubing's surprise was even more on top of Qiu Yulan: "There is such a thing?!" That second uncle now? ”
Zhuang Man was surprised: "You don't know? You should have gone to the family dinner last night, right? ”
"She went back halfway through, so she didn't see it." Qiu Yulan explained, "I also heard from your nineteenth cousin later...... I don't know the specifics, after all, we came to the palace this morning. ”
"Does the second uncle matter?" Xin Fubing asked worriedly, Qin Guogong and Empress Jiang are two indispensable people in the queen party, and if any of them goes wrong, for the people of this party, it may lead to annihilation.
Zhuang Man didn't care: "I'm just drunk, I should have a little headache now, right?" If anything, you two can still stay in the palace? Besides, isn't the queen still having the leisure to specially summon Jiang Qiyun today? ”
Xin Fubing thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief: "The second uncle can't have an accident." ”
"We can't help with that." Zhuang Man wasn't very interested in things she couldn't get involved in, and she didn't think that Qin Guogong was really sick, so she diverted the topic, "I've heard some rumors in the past two days, it seems to be about the eighth cousin?" ”
At the mention of this, Qiu Yulan's face suddenly became gloomy: "Those villains, sooner or later, they will not end well!" ”
"Really?" Zhuang Man asked, "What is the matter?" I heard that my eighth cousin-in-law is sick? ”
Although Xin Fubing has often been in and out of the Jibei Hou Mansion these days, she is too busy with her own affairs, let alone has no time to care about other people, so she also asked: "Is the eighth cousin-in-law sick?" When was this? I didn't even notice! ”
"I was sick a few days ago, and thanks to my grandmother's mercy, I took her to live in my yard, but I don't know what it was like to be trampled by those people in the starling's yard!" Qiu Yulan drank a big sip of tea to suppress her heart, "Rao is like this, the starling still refuses to let her go!" ”
"The eighth cousin is heavy on color and light on morality, and the eighth cousin is good at everything, so she is at a loss here!" Zhuang Man sighed, "I guess it was instigated by which new favorite and old love...... Didn't Cousin Nineteen persuade him? ”
Qiu Yulan said: "You hit the nail on the head, but it's all the truth!" Why didn't Nineteen persuade him? It's good to say that after talking about it for so many days, he just doesn't listen, in the end he is his brother, and Nineteen can't beat him! ”
"It's a pity that my aunt is not in Beijing." Zhuang Man regretted, "My aunt hates concubines the most, she wants to be in Beijing, starling dares to disrespect his wife, my aunt will definitely not be able to spare him!" ”
Xin Fubing also said: "The fourth aunt really hates concubines and the like, but it's a pity that she has to stay in northern Xinjiang to take care of the fourth uncle, and she shouldn't have time to return for the time being." "That one drove away Jiang Yazhu's biological mother twice.
This kind of distant water that is difficult to quench thirst, Qiu Yulan will have no mood to think about it, and only said lightly: "Now I only hope that the eighth sister-in-law will take care of her body, and we can't do anything else." ”
"It's a pity that the eighth sister-in-law is sick, otherwise I would have invited her to come to the palace to live together, and I would have been able to talk about my grievances in front of the queen." Zhuang Man sighed, the patient could not enter the palace. Even if Empress Jiang takes a few maiden daughters into the palace to live, she doesn't even have to say hello to anyone, but such a taboo is still not easy to violate.
"What's the use of telling the Queen?! It's impossible for the queen mother not to know about this, and it's not necessarily like Nineteen said, she is too busy to ask. Qiu Yulan smiled on her face, but she was very disappreciative in her heart, "I think it's because the matter of competing for the crown is in full swing, and the queen doesn't want her mother's family to make something happen to the queen mother's side to pinch the handle, so she simply pretends to be confused to avoid making a big deal - in the end, the eighth sister-in-law is known to be famous and from a famous family, and she will be divorced if she is not convicted of any exact crime, how can the queen mother's party not make a fuss?" Moreover, Jiang Ba is very willful, and the queen personally comes forward, which may make him more stubborn, and give the queen mother a bigger excuse when the time comes. ”
"And this is only one of the reasons, and another reason is that both Old Madam Tao and Empress Jiang value Jiang Tianchi, who holds military power, very much, so they are very reluctant to offend his eldest son!"
She remembered very well that at the beginning, when Xiao Tao was ordered by Mrs. Tao to persuade her to persuade Qiu Feng to marry as soon as possible, so that Jiang Qizheng would die, but she said that Old Mrs. Tao herself didn't think there was anything wrong with Qiu Feng being her grandson-in-law, just because Jiang Qizheng was not her own granddaughter, she was afraid of offending her son and daughter-in-law, so she wanted to destroy it - this is just a granddaughter, let alone a grandson?
Jiang Yadan is clearly a face control, he wants to choose his own wife, how can he not choose Xiao Tao, so this family affair is estimated to be married to him by the elders, and it must have a lot to do with Mrs. Tao, after all, Xiao Tao's entry into Jiang's house symbolizes the second marriage between Jiang Tao.
Now Jiang Yadan has decided to abandon his wife and welcome the outer room into the door, if the elder who opposes it is the elder who asked him to marry Xiao Tao in the first place, it is impossible to say that he is not only not weak-hearted, but feels very indignant: "You forced me to marry someone I don't like earlier, but now you want me to be responsible to the end, how can it be so easy!" ”
With Qiu Yulan's understanding of this big uncle, he must be thinking of this way!
"Nineteen is the most favored by the queen among the children of the Jiang family, so he naturally doesn't want to say anything that damages the queen's positive image, so he found a reason for the queen's busy affairs to explain." Qiu Yulan sneered secretly, "But, this matter, if you think about it carefully, you can understand...... How should the eighth sister-in-law live this crisis, it is better to count on the queen here, it is better to count on her brother to get drunk with Ling! ”
However, no matter how much she cares about Xiao Tao, now that she is in the palace, she can only take care of the current matter - Gu Qianna's birthday, which has arrived in a blink of an eye.
