Qiu Yulan's face was expressionless, her expression was serious, as if something terrible had happened, this scene deeply infected the left and right entourage, all of them held their breath and were cautious, and the atmosphere was called a mountain rain that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings - but out of the East Palace, after the carriage drove through a street, she suddenly raised her sleeves to cover her lips, and smiled back and forth!

"Whisper!" The corners of Jiang Yashuang's mouth, who was sitting beside her, were also slightly hooked, but because it was her own mother, she persuaded in the end, "Let the outside hear it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if it reaches my mother's ears?" ”

…… The words that the palace attendants of Funing passed to the crown princess alone, they were also sent out of the palace, of course, they didn't know.

But after the crown princess smashed things in the palace for a while and got angry, she didn't know what to think, but she called the couple in, and said Emperor Zhaode's dictation 1510, and finally said with a gloomy face: "Since your imperial grandfather wants me to atone for your sins on you, how can I not listen?" That's all for this time! ”

After sending them away, Qiu Yulan never expected that Emperor Zhaode would defend his husband and wife at this knuckle, not to mention, the reason is so narrow: Isn't this clearly saying that the crown princess is retribution?

Back then, the crown princess relied on her son's talent and intelligence, which won the expectations of Emperor Zhaode, and she was arrogant and domineering and didn't take anyone in her eyes at all. Not to mention the female dependents, the men of the Jiang family rarely see her without a headache! Even Emperor Zhaode was so angry with this daughter-in-law that he was angry three times and twice, but every time he threw a mouse trap for his grandson, he had to endure it again and again - now it's okay, the crown princess has also put up with a daughter-in-law who is not afraid of her in-laws!

Qiu Yulan didn't even need to inquire, and he could imagine what kind of pleasure Emperor Zhaode was in Funing Palace: "I told you to rely on your grandson to eat what my father-in-law couldn't do with you!" You deserve your daughter-in-law's example! ”

"I didn't expect the emperor's grandfather to make a move!" Qiu Yulan trembled in her husband's arms for a while, before she resisted the urge to continue laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said happily, "I thought I couldn't hide this time!" It seems that it is still the emperor's grandfather who loves us! ”

Jiang Yashuang glanced at her angrily and funny: "Mother also thinks that you did the Feng family's business, so she wants to punish you!" After all, although the previous things were all picked by the Feng family, the Feng family has been driven out of the court, and they have lost such an ugly reputation. If we don't give up in this way, it will inevitably make people feel stingy, which is also bad for us. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned, "It's just that since we didn't do it, who did it?" ”

"Then Feng Rugui is facing the grass on the wall, will there be fewer people who offend?" Qiu Yulan said disapprerovingly, "Who knows if it's a grudge that has been formed by selling festivals and pit people too much?" Don't say anything else, let's just say that in order to get out this time, his own daughter didn't admit it, and his grandchildren and granddaughters' in-laws or something, maybe there will be grudges? ”

"I'll find out!" Jiang Yashuang muttered, "Like my mother, there are quite a few people who suspect us when they hear the news, or most of them think so—it's a trouble to take advantage of this!" ”

"Do you suspect that the people who supported starlings did it?" Qiu Yulan turned the bracelet on his wrist and said thoughtfully, "These people are really going forward and succeeding!" It's just that the fate of the Feng family is there, and they are still rushing to fall into the well, aren't they afraid that they will also fall to that point? ”

Jiang Yashuang said: "You will go back to the house to accompany the children in a while, and I will go to my brother to discuss!" ”

The two broke up in front of the Dingxi Hou Mansion, and Qiu Yulan returned to the Chongjun Palace, and only then did she get home, and the left-behind Mulan greeted her and said a message: "Princess Huijun has sent a post and invited her mother to gather in the Huijun Mansion five days later!" "I was afraid that Qiu Yulan thought it was an ordinary gathering, so she specially explained, "Princess Huijun only invited the same generation of clan wives this time!" ”

"Concubines?" Qiu Yulan understood when she heard it, and smiled unconsciously, "Last year, I said that this party would be reopened, but it was just to rush the imperial grandmother to be sick, and the mess came together, and it was over!" I don't want her to bring it up again this year, and I don't know where the confidence comes from? ”

Princess Huijun took the initiative to hold a concubine party, which must be ill-intentioned.

However, this sister-in-law is not Qiu Yulan's opponent in terms of quarrels and fights, and the support and maintenance she received from her husband is not very good, Qiu Yulan can't help but wonder what means she has prepared this time, so she is not afraid of losing face in front of everyone?

"I see." After guessing for a while, I didn't guess anything, and Qiu Yulan was not afraid, "Someone opened my suitcase, I'll see what to wear when the time comes?" ”

Although it is said that the Huijun Mansion is very proud now, most of the concubines must be towards the princess of Huijun. But Qiu Yulan didn't feel that she needed to be afraid of these sisters-in-law, so she broke up halfway, anyway, didn't Emperor Zhaode teach the crown princess a lesson, and let her think about how she was angry with her father-in-law back then, and now that she is a mother-in-law, she should be gentle and generous to suffer from her daughter-in-law's anger?

So she easily chose a dress and jewelry, and spent an afternoon trying on three makeup looks to determine what she would look like.

In the evening, Jiang Yashuang came back and learned about it, but reminded her: "You know that the eighth sister-in-law and the starling brother do not have the same thoughts, although it is said that when you had a dispute with your concubine in the past, she was the one who suffered. But because of this, since she is sure to invite you and the other sisters-in-law, she must have made the preparations she can be sure of! ”

"Could it be that she can still prepare a team of axe men, and when I go, she will smash the cup and hack me to death?" Qiu Yulan smiled and said, "Blatantly poisoned or something, I don't think she should be so stupid!" "Even if Princess Huijun really does this, she has a way to guard against it.

"Anyway, it's better to be cautious!" Jiang Yashuang shook her head and said, "Don't you forget that the eighth sister-in-law may have many things that are not well thought out, but she is the daughter of King Yongyi in the end!" ”

Chu Xiao's old fox is indeed very deep in the city.

"I didn't really underestimate this party!" Qiu Yulan smiled when he heard this, and said, "The post said that let's take the children with them, so that their brothers and sisters can also get close." But I don't plan to do this, just find an excuse to perfunctory when the time comes, otherwise Ying'er and they are still so young, and they are ignorant and don't know if they are pitted! ”

Jiang Yashuang bowed his head and said, "It's really not appropriate for them to go to Starling's side now." ”

This matter was so decided - on the day of the party, Qiu Yulan sent her children to Dingxi Hou Mansion again, and after arriving at Huijun Wangfu alone, she explained: "My mother's sister-in-law likes Ying'er and them, and I said a few days ago that I would send Ying'er to accompany her, but it is really not good to be dishonest, and I don't want the eighth sister-in-law to meet today, so I can only let them come to the eighth sister-in-law next time to say goodbye!" ”

It was rare that Princess Huijun didn't give her a look in the absence of the crown princess, and she smiled when she heard this: "Today is mainly for our concubines to get together, the children are more lively, and it's nothing if you don't come." Speaking of which, the heirs under your knees have always been luxuriant, and Mrs. Dingxi Hou injured her body in her early years, but if you calculate the time, it will be almost the same now. Now that they have received Ying'er at the end of three days, they have passed through the house and Chenghuan's knees, and I am afraid that the heirs are not far away! ”

"What the eighth sister-in-law said is that Mrs. Dingxi Hou has always been in good health in the past, if she hadn't suffered a loss in Xijiang, she would have already had a child under her knees!" He Shuijin, who arrived first, said with a smile - her current clan identity is the Duchess of Xinguo.

Although Jiang Yaheng is the grandson of Emperor Zhaode, he is not the son of the prince in the end, and he does not have the love of his grandfather and grandmother like Jiang Yalan, so because he failed to become a son, he was only crowned the prince of the country.

However, in this concubine gathering, He Shuijin's identity is not the lowest.

Because the He family and the Jin family in the second and fifth rooms are only the sons and daughters of the Guogong family. Even if there is only one son left because of the fruits of the second and fifth rooms, their husbands will be able to attack the knighthood in the future; But the relationship between the second and fifth rooms and Emperor Zhaode's father and son is really unfamiliar, so the title is only Guogong, not to mention the hereditary replacement-that is to say, after the in-laws of the He family and the Jin family passed away, they can only be Mrs. Hou.

However, Jiang Tianqiao, the king of Dun, got the same treatment as Emperor Zhaode's son: the eldest son, Jiang Yayun, is naturally the son; The late second son Jiang Yayue was posthumously crowned the king of Shenjun, and his eldest son descended to the title of Duke of Shenguo; The youngest son of the concubine, Jiang Yahong, should be the prince of the country. His daughters and dependents have their own seals according to the rules, and the Lu family is one of the five princesses of the county today!

From the canonization of this generation of female dependents, the distant and close relatives of the Jiang family in the minds of Emperor Zhaode's father and son are clear at a glance.

"But at a glance, you still have to take care of the order of the elders and the young on the scene." Qiu Yulan sat down with the concubines, and thought to herself, "For example, the posthumous seal of King Shenjun, the reason is that Jiang Yayue sacrificed his life for the country; Ying Guogong's canonization was also touted as picking up a few items from Jiang Yahong's errands...... Today, Chu Yitong is the master, and in the past two years, she has a faint trend towards the future crown princess, and after I explain, she spoke first, but it was okay. Why did she answer with Shui Jin after she finished speaking? ”

Even if the prince of Dun's branch, the princess of Shenjun, and the duchess of Yingguo have not yet arrived, but the prince of Gui's branch, Zhang's wife, has already come, and the Zhang family did not speak, and Shui Jin spoke to his sister-in-law first, which was a little inappropriate.

"Heshui Jin is not a person who will ignore this kind of detail, is she expressing her position to Chu Yitong?" Qiu Yulan glanced at this cousin-in-law lightly, and sneered in her heart, "I think that the matter of Princess Gui has passed for more than a year, and the filial piety of the daughters-in-law of King Gui's Mansion has been spread in Beijing for so long, and I have no evidence, even if I expose it, no one may believe it, so can she calmly choose to take sides?" ”

With this speculation in his heart, Qiu Yulan raised his vigilance again, although he Shuijin said that his position was not very stable, he was also a little wall-to-wall. But in terms of scheming and IQ, she stood on the side of Princess Huijun, and Qiu Yulan had to be careful.

A few of them talked, and the people gradually got to the point, but after the prince of Jiwang came, she said: "The thirteenth brother and sister originally wanted to come, but she was not in good health, and the imperial doctor kept telling her not to go out, so she could only ask me to sue the eighth sister-in-law!" ”

It is no secret that Princess Sujun only walked on the line of life and death not long ago, Princess Huijun didn't know it, and she was quite sympathetic to this concubine who married into the Jiang family as a stepfamily like herself, and naturally she would not blame when she heard the words at this moment, but said: "It's my negligence, I heard that the thirteen brothers and sisters have been well a few days ago, and I thought that she was already well, and she could come out to relax!" Who wants to disturb her recuperation! ”

When the princess of King Ji heard this, she didn't say anything, but the princess of Sujun thanked her - it is no wonder that when Princess Huijun and Qiu Yulan went to the palace of King Ji to thoroughly investigate the princess of Sujun's swallowing of gold, the princess of King Ji suspected that her mother-in-law had been wronged. It's just that Princess Huijun doesn't believe it at all, and Qiu Yulan doesn't want to expose her because of the relationship between Princess Sujun and Ruan Ciyi, so her defense for Princess Ji is useless.

Later, the princess of Sujun got her wish and took her husband and children to open a house and live separately, one of the two concubines stood on her mother-in-law's side, and the other would rather risk her life than stay away from her mother-in-law, and it was strange that the relationship could be good.

Thinking about it, today's prince and wife of King Ji are willing to pass on this word for her brother and daughter-in-law, and she was also directly said by Princess Sujun, so it is difficult to refuse.

Now, of course, I won't say anything more for my brother and daughter-in-law.

Princess Huijun didn't care about her coldness, looked around, and said: "In this way, except for the thirteen brothers and sisters who are not good to come, everyone is together, so should we go to the garden, or have a banquet here?" ”

Without much hesitation, someone at the bottom said: "It's already a little hot this day, and it's really boring to have a banquet in the house!" Tell me that it is better to go to the garden, where the children are playing, and we can take a look once in a while! ”

Qiu Yulan turned the tea bowl in her hand and smiled and didn't speak: It was the princess of Shenjun Lu who answered the phone, although she didn't go to see Qiu Yulan when she proposed. However, Qiu Yulan can also guess that this is an appointment between the Lu family and Princess Huijun, and it is for whom, don't ask!

"In the garden? I didn't bring my children here today, so I don't know what you can do to trap me? ”
