Chapter 374: Lord Xinling
Song Yixiao is entangled in everything at the moment, although she thinks that Pei Yourui's behavior of entering the palace twice in three days to greet the Empress Dowager is a little strange, but then she thinks: "Maybe this righteous sister is grateful for her mother-in-law's kindness to her, so she wants to do her filial piety for her mother-in-law?" ”
I don't take it to heart.
And Pei Yourui received the news, and sure enough, she hugged Jian Qingyue back only one day later.
"Actually, the Empress Dowager originally planned to send Qingyue back today, so as not to worry about you." Pei Yourui smiled and groaned when she came, "I have asked me to be a personal favor, but this child is so cute, no wonder it is inconvenient for you to enter the palace now, and the Empress Dowager can't help but take her over to Chenghuan's knees." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the panfeng Yingluo ring on Jian Qingyue's chest, "It is said that this was worn by my mother when she was a child!" This morning, the Empress Dowager specially asked someone to rummage through the cabinets and find it, especially for Qingyue. ”
"The Empress Dowager is so kind, I won't be able to thank you, so I can only wait for filial piety to go to her old man's house to say goodbye." Song Yixiao paid attention to the observation, and found that when her daughter came back from this trip to the palace, almost all the accessories on her body had been changed, and it was estimated that in addition to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and others also made a move, and said busily, "Today there is Sister Lao Yi." ”
Since she reminded Jian Xubai at the beginning, Pei Yourui seemed to have implied resentment towards Jian Yiyu and the eldest princess of Changxing, and after the couple was shouted to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to reprimand, although they said that they did not have grudges against each other, there was a faint estrangement in the end.
So Pei Yourui didn't stay long when she came back, but she said a few polite words, took a sip of tea and left.
After she left, Song Yixiao hugged her daughter on her lap, teasing her while talking, and interrogating the people who entered the palace with her daughter, Jian Qingyue had been annoyed by the Empress Dowager in the palace in the past two days, Chiqiang walked in, and said: "The young grandmother of Hengshan Wangfu sent someone to send pastries, and the people said that the young grandmother was inconvenient to travel because of her heavy pregnancy, and she couldn't come to see you these days, and she was really worried about it, so I want to say hello to you in person, and I can explain to the young grandmother when I go back!" ”
"Although this young grandmother Kong has never had a bad relationship with me because of her mother, she has never had any dealings." Song Yixiao couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, "Especially when she finally got pregnant this time, I heard from the end of last year when I asked my mother to say goodbye that the big house couple in Hengshan Wangfu are going all out to wait for the birth of their heir - today is not a New Year's Day, why did you suddenly remember to send me pastries?" ”
She groaned and said, "Come and talk to her!" ”
As he spoke, he handed Jian Qingyue to the nurse and motioned for them to take their daughter back to the house first.
After a while, the people from the Kong faction were brought in, and Song Yixiao looked at it, but it was an acquaintance - it was Lianyue who she had dealt with when she was not out of the pavilion, but this would have been dressed as a woman, and she thought that she had already made a promise.
Lianyue asked for peace and conveyed Kong's greetings and concerns, but she still had no intention of retiring.
Song Yixiao glanced at the left and right knowingly when she saw this, and when the idlers all retreated, sure enough, Lianyue showed a solemn look and said: "My eldest young grandmother has a few words, and I wanted to tell my wife earlier, but I was afraid that my wife would misunderstand, so I didn't dare to speak up!" But yesterday, a young grandmother sent someone to see the county lord of Xinling, and felt that it couldn't be delayed any longer! So, even if it might make Madame angry......"
"Xinling?!" Song Yi was taken aback when she couldn't laugh, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Although it is said that because of the young age of the two younger sisters, whether it is Lu Zhuo'er, the county lord of Xinling, or Lu Cui'er, the county lord of Anyang, who is gone, has never gotten along much with Song Yixiao, the half-sister, but in the end, Song Yixiao's concern for these two sisters will never be less than Lu Guanyun.
Before the county lord of Anyang died, she was so sad that she blew the night breeze in the garden all night before she could suppress her emotions.
This will listen to the meaning of Lianyue's words, and the only remaining sister seems to have gone wrong, how can she not be in a hurry?
For a while, the handkerchief in his hand was tightened!
"Madame, please don't worry!" Seeing this, Lianyue hurriedly reassured, "The county lord of Xinling is just occasionally feeling a little sick, and now the fifth young grandmother in charge of the family has asked the imperial doctor to see it and prescribed a prescription, and it is expected that it will be fine if you want to eat it for two days." ”
Song Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good--I don't know what Sister-in-law Kong wants you to bring me?" ”
"The current situation in our palace, madam, you know." Lianyue pursed her lips and said, "The prince's mother's filial piety has not been removed, and his wife's filial piety has been added, and the sons and young grandmothers under him must also guard their mother's filial piety." In this way, in addition to the eldest and youngest grandmothers, there are only five young grandmothers who can preside over the feeding! ”
Song Yixiao was quick-witted, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but change her face slightly.
Sure enough, Lianyue continued: "The young grandmother's pregnancy is now sitting on the lookout, you also know that after the grandson was gone, the young grandmother was depressed for many years, and she will finally get pregnant, and she really doesn't dare to be distracted!" Not to mention that the young grandmother is now incapacitated, and thinks. I can't worry about it! ”
"Yes, there are only five young grandmothers who take care of the inner house at the moment!"
"The fifth young grandmother really wants to do everything well, and take care of the seventh prince and the county lord of Xinling."
"The problem is that the fifth young grandmother's maiden family is only a mere sixth-grade official!"
"The slave and maid here have the courage to borrow the words of the young grandmother: the fifth young grandmother's knowledge is limited, her talent is also mediocre, and the days of entering the door are still short, that is, the princess and the mother only went before, and when the young grandmother was not pregnant, she taught her hand-in-hand for a while, and she was also confused!"
"So during this period of time, the palace is really ......"
Lianyue showed a helpless look, "But the prince and the second son are still in the filial piety period, so it's impossible for these two to marry a capable and sensible person to enter the mansion and take care of the inside and outside, right?" ”
"Like the county lord of Xinling, this time he was sick, it was caused by the carelessness of the people around her."
"Afterwards, although the fifth young grandmother heard the news, she invited the imperial doctor, and also boiled medicine for the county lord of Xinling and fed the county lord to drink, fulfilling her duties as a sister-in-law. But if you are a really capable housewife, there is no need for the county lord to take this medicine at all! ”
"Madame also knows: The county lord had just been seriously ill at the beginning of the year, and the people who were originally white and tender were now thin and small, like this, how can they stop falling ill in three days?"
"So the eldest young grandmother sent a slave maid to tell you these things-purely to worry about the county lord of Xinling, and there is absolutely no other meaning!"
"As for what you want to do, Madame, the young grandmother said, she listens to you!"
Song Yi smiled and listened to these words, only to feel sour and astringent in his heart: "This retribution is coming too fast!" However, she is only four years old this year, so isn't the earlier sin enough? How can such a thing happen now? ”
The reason why the five young grandmothers of the Hengshan Royal Mansion couldn't take care of the huge palace when their mother-in-law died and the eldest sister-in-law gave birth was not because this five young grandmothers were personally selected by Wei Mengying for her concubine when she was alive?
She is such a qualified stepmother, the fifth son Lu Zimiao has always been unvalued like a transparent person in the house, and Wei Mengying's wife for him is of course based on the criteria of low background, honest personality, and low ability, so as not to become the second Jin family after the daughter-in-law enters the door.
As a result, this fifth young grandmother was really as Wei Mengying expected, honest and obedient and easy to bully - but in the end, after all, she still cheated Wei Mengying's biological daughter!
"I understand Sister-in-law Kong's kindness, how could I misunderstand her?" Song Yixiao was sad for a while, then she restrained her emotions and said to Lianyue gently, "Let me think about this matter, and then go to Xie Kong's sister-in-law in two days." ”
Lianyue hurriedly said that she didn't dare.
Song Yi smiled and rewarded her with a pair of gold collars, and sent her away.
"Chiqiang, go ahead and see if your husband is busy?" After Lianyue left, Song Yi smiled and thought for a moment, then called the maid and ordered, "If you are not busy, please invite him to come over, I have something to discuss with him." ”
After a while, Jian Xubai walked in, Song Yixiao motioned for everyone to go out, and then told him the words of Lianyue, and finally said: "I want to take Zhu'er over and live for a few days, at least until she is stronger, and she will not fall ill without any carelessness, and then send her back to Hengshan Wangfu, is it okay?" ”
"That's as it should be." Jian Xubai has always been worried that after the truth is exposed, his wife will turn against him, and now he has a chance to please his sister-in-law, how can he let it go? Besides, Lu Zhuo'er didn't want him to serve in person, but it was just a matter of sending a few subordinates, and he said at the moment, "It's also our negligence these days, since the mother-in-law went to the Hengshan Palace, there really is no female dependent who can support the scene." I thought earlier, I should have picked up my sister a long time ago. ”
Speaking of this, he asked, "Do you want to take your brother-in-law over and live for a few days?" ”
"Guanyun, I'm not very worried!" Song Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "He was not in the car when Lainiang was assassinated, he was not frightened in person, and he was not sick after that; Second, Sister-in-law Kong didn't mention him, thinking that he should be in good shape, after all, he is the most painful thing for the prince of Hengshan in the past two years; Thirdly, he has Bo's mother by his side, which is an old man left by my mother, and watching a few of us grow up, she will definitely be attentive to him. ”
She believes in Bo's mother, not because she trusts Bo's mother's character, but because she trusts this mother's scheming: after losing Wei Mengying's backer, if Bo's mother doesn't want to lose power from now on, she can only count on Lu Guanyun.
After all, how can Lu Guanyun also be the biological son of King Hengshan, even if it is not him who inherits the palace in the future, he will not be too down-he is a disciple of He Lou Duhan, maybe he will not have to rely on his father's Yu Yin in the future, and he will be able to make a difference?
Therefore, Bo's mother will definitely work hard to take care of Lu Guanyun.
Thinking of this, Song Yixiao couldn't help but feel a little sad, whether it was King Hengshan, or Wei Mengying before his death, and now including Bo's mother, who is a slave, the most important thing is Lu Guanyun after all.
Obviously, Lu Zhuo'er and Lu Cui'er were the most affected by the assassination of their biological mother, and even Lu Cui'er died because of it - but Bo's mother never invited herself to take care of these two little county lords, but seized the opportunity to go to Lu Guanyun's side!
Although it is said that it is the norm to become inflammatory, Song Yixiao still feels aggrieved for her half-sister after all.
She calmed down before continuing, "But although the prince of Hengshan is not like Guanyun, who always takes Zhu'er with him, he is not a person who doesn't care about his daughter at all, and I don't know if he will let him go?" ”
This matter is just a gesture for Jian Xubai, he has the support of the Empress Dowager, as long as it is not a major matter related to the livelihood of the society, even Emperor Duanhua has to rely on it; What's more, he just took his wife and sister to the house for a few days, and he didn't want to harm the county lord of Xinling, how could King Hengshan disagree?
In this way, two days later, Lu Zhuo'er, the lord of Xinling County, was taken over along with the nurse and the others.
Looking at her thin, timid and silent sister, Song Yixiao felt so uncomfortable, she rarely snubbed her daughter, hugged her in her arms and comforted her for a long time, and Fang personally took her to see where she lived.
Only then did Lu Zhuo'er settle down, and the people below came to report: "The Wei family is here!" ”
"The Wei family?" Song Yi smiled and heard this, her eyes were cold: although she could understand Wei Chan's betrayal of Wei Mengying, and was forced to let go of the Wei family due to various considerations, but Wei Mengying was her own mother in the end - not retaliating, but it did not mean that she planned to go on with other families.
At this moment, I heard that the Wei family had sent someone over, so it was naturally impossible to welcome it as warmly as before, and after being silent for a while, I said lightly, "Bring it here!" ”
She wants to see what this foreigner is up to!
