After not wanting to wait for a while, the two eldest princesses put aside the chopsticks, and after the servants served tea and rinsed their mouths, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom directly served tea to the guests, and sent everyone except the acting princess away.

Song Yixiao deliberately slowed down his pace after going out, wanting to talk to the county lord of Qingjiang, but the county lord of Qingjiang and Princess Changxing walked hand in hand towards a fork in the road - it looked like he was going to whisper.

In this case, Song Yixiao felt that it was not easy to disturb, so she waited outside.

But after waiting for a while, she didn't see them come out, she was suspicious, beckoned to a descendant of the eldest princess's mansion, and gave a few orders. The subordinate left as he said, but after a while, he replied: "The county lord and the princess have already left the mansion through the corner gate!" ”

"Is this deliberately avoiding me?" Song Yi smiled when she heard this, both lost and incredulous, "I was fine before, why haven't I seen you for a few days, and you have been so alienated from me?" ”

She was uncomfortable for a while, thinking that her husband was still waiting for her outside the gate, so she forced her mind to leave as if nothing had happened—

In fact, although the county lord of Qingjiang did go out of the eldest princess's mansion with Princess Changxing, he did not go far.

"Okay, Changxing, where are you going to take me, can you say it now?" Watching the carriage go out of the alley outside the corner gate, the county lord of Qingjiang finally got impatient with Princess Changxing's nonsense, "You also know that I can't get out of my house, and I won't go with you if I make such a fuss!" ”

The county lord wanted to have a good chat with Song Yixiao at the banquet, who wanted to call Song Yixiao after the family banquet was over, she didn't have time to call Song Yixiao, Princess Changxing told her first, there is a place that must take her - although the county lord of Qingjiang doesn't like Changxing's move of squeezing Pei Yourui away, but in the end, she is her cousin or her own brother-in-law, so naturally she will not suspect that she will harm herself.

Therefore, although she asked a few times, Princess Changxing mysteriously said that she knew that she still endured it until now.

But now that the carriage turned around the corner, he happened to see the carriage of the Yanguo Mansion in front, and the county lord of Qingjiang was inevitably urging.

Who would have thought that Princess Changxing also glanced at the carriage in front of her, chuckled, but said calmly: "Actually, there is no place to take the eldest sister there, but I don't want the eldest sister to talk to the fourth brother and sister!" ”

"What do you mean by that?!" The county lord of Qingjiang never expected that she was actually playing with herself, and she couldn't help but be annoyed, "It's just nonsense!" Park me! ”

Princess Changxing hurriedly grabbed her, and whispered and quickly whispered: "Eldest sister, this will find the fourth brother and sister, just to mention a few words about the Lantern Festival Palace banquet!" But have you thought about it, big sister? The fourth brother and sister are so forbearant at a young age, who knows if they will be full of promises on the scene, but they actually hate it secretly?! ”

When the time comes, "She can't move you, what if she gets angry with the fourth brother?!" ”

The county lord of Qingjiang's face changed, and shouted: "You don't talk nonsense here!" What does the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet have to do with the four brothers and sisters!? ”

"Does the eldest sister still want to hide it from me?" Princess Changxing pulled her sleeve and didn't let her get out of the car, looked at her tightly, and said in a deep voice, "If the matter of the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet has nothing to do with the fourth brother and sister, then what has my mother been doing in the past few days to run around for this matter and try to calm it down?" The eldest sister usually loves the four siblings the most, why do you see her today but she is estranged? ”

Without waiting for the county lord of Qingjiang to answer, he said, "I know that I have never liked the fourth brother and sister, and the eldest sister will inevitably suspect that I am deliberately sowing discord!" But the eldest sister should always believe that I am really worried about the fourth brother! ”

The county lord of Qingjiang's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Don't say anything like this in the future!" Don't forget that you are now the wife of the third brother, if the third brother knows what he said today, how will he feel in his heart? ”

It's just that although the county lord scolded Princess Changxing, he watched the carriage of the Yanguo Mansion disappear from sight, but he didn't call anyone to stop it, obviously listening to her words more or less.

Princess Changxing responded obediently, but lowered her eyes to hide the calculation under her eyes: "Song slut!" Hongu said that I will walk with you and see, do you really think that Hongu will always lose to you?! ”

- I want to see if Song Yixiao can continue to flourish after she coaxes the county lord of Qingjiang to her side, without this eldest sister-in-law's support, and without this eldest sister-in-law mediating in front of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom!

How did Song Yixiao know that it was Princess Changxing who was the obstruction?

On the way back to the Yanguo Mansion, she kept thinking repeatedly about the change in the attitude of the county lord of Qingjiang towards her, but she was seen by Jian Xubai: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"How so?" Song Yi smiled and hurriedly covered up, "I just feel a little tired!" ”

said and leaned on his shoulder - she didn't mean to hide from her husband, but the battle for the crown prince has officially begun, and Jian Xubai now has to worry about the internal and external troubles of the prince's family, this kind of contradiction between relatives, there is no need to push it to her husband as soon as she finds out.

Maybe in a few days she will be able to solve it herself?

It's just that after returning to the house, Song Yixiao didn't immediately send someone to deliver a post to the Qingjiang County Lord's Mansion, but sent Qiaoqin to the Laiguo Mansion to remind Xie Yiren: "The meaning of Cousin Xu's words, the backyard of Yipingbo's Mansion is now under the control of that aunt, since even the relationship between my cousin and our mansion dares to provoke, it can be seen that he is restless, please pay more attention to Sister Xie!" ”

When Qiao Qin came back, she brought a pair of palace silks: "Miss Xie is very grateful for Madame's suggestion, and she happened to be picking up palace silk when the slave maid arrived, so she picked two for Madame and asked the slave and maid to bring back for you to wear and play." ”

Song Yixiao took it and looked at it: "These two colors are bright, you can use them when the weather is warmer!" ”

Saying that, he handed it to Jinxun and asked her to put it away first - there was nothing else to do this day, and it was over.

The next day was Mrs. Cao's birthday.

After Jian Xubai finished going to court, he specially took a half-day leave to the military department and accompanied her to Wei's house to congratulate her.

Due to receiving Song Yixiao's reminder, the birthday banquet that was originally planned to be held would be very low-key.

But Jian Xubai's arrival still added a lot of color to the banquet - just in the middle of the banquet, suddenly someone from the Yanguo Mansion came over, and attached a solemn expression to Jian Xubai's ear to say a few words.

After that, although Jian Xubai only frowned, he talked and laughed as usual, but he would be very eye-catching, how could his every move not be seen by everyone?

"If anything, tell him to go first!" As soon as Mrs. Cao's mind turned, she quietly smiled at Song Yi and said, "Don't delay business for my old bones—I'm already very happy that you can come today!" ”

Song Yi glanced at her husband with a smile, seeing that he looked calm, and he couldn't tell what the man had said, he was thinking about replying, but he noticed it in vain, but he looked up and smiled at Mrs. Cao, and said: "It's just a little thing in the house, the people below don't know the etiquette, and if you disturb it, please don't be weird to your grandmother!" ”

As he spoke, he raised the wine bottle to Mrs. Cao and drank it all to show his reparation.

"It's okay!" Old Madam Cao said that she didn't mind - but the imperial capital now knows that the Yanguo Mansion is presided over by Song Yixiao, if something really happens in the mansion, someone should find Song Yixiao to tell her!

"Something must have happened, this grandson-in-law wants to make a face for his granddaughter, so he pretends to be an understatement!" Old Madam Cao thought so, groaned slightly, and motioned left and right to help herself, and said: "The old body is not strong enough to drink, and I will resign first, please don't blame!" ”

As soon as she left, the guests would be able to leave without looking rude—and sure enough, not long after the Jane and the white couple got up to see each other off, they found an opportunity to say goodbye and leave.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the Wei family, Song Yixiao hurriedly asked what the previous person had told him, Jian Xubai's face was faint and he couldn't see his joy and anger, and said: "Uncle Huang just issued an edict to let the prince be regent during his recuperation." ”

- Regardless of whether the crown prince can suppress the scene or not, when Emperor Xianjia can't see the court in person, this holy decree is always a good thing for the prince's family.

Helplessly, there is a holy decree behind it, "King Zhaowei, King Liang, and King Zhao all entered the court to share the worries of the prince!" ”

"The three kings are all in the court?" Song Yi smiled and said unexpectedly, "King Zhao's entry into the dynasty was revealed last year, and King Wei has an aunt who has been running around for him - Your Majesty has also stuffed King Liang into it this time, is this not worrying about the prince, find an arm for the prince?" ”

After all, King Liang is the younger brother of the crown prince.

"The three kings are not very old now, even if it is King Zhao, who is carefully taught by the Su family, although he has a good evaluation among the courtiers, he is still immature when it comes to the wrist city." Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "This matter can be put aside for the time being-it's King Yi who is dying!" ”

Song Yi smiled and said in surprise: "The holy decree didn't mention King Yi?" ”

But seeing her husband's somewhat grim side face, she suddenly came to her senses, "Is it the matter that His Majesty asked King Yi to see pity before?" ”

"At that time, the imperial uncle was very good, and King Yi naturally did everything according to the imperial uncle's will." Jian Xuan said with a white chin on his head, "But now the imperial uncle needs to recuperate, if the prince can't suppress Qiu Shuxia, King Yi has always been cowardly......"

He didn't say anything after that, but Song Yixiao already understood: because of Liu Zhenxi's sudden appearance, the crown prince's family, who was caught off guard, was originally very passive.

Previously, Xianjiadila was biased and sent King Yi, who had grass on the wall, to be responsible for a thorough investigation, so that the crown prince and his family had room to breathe.

But now that there is no Emperor Xianjia in person, who King Yi will fall to can only rely on his own means - in case he takes refuge in Qiu Shuxia's side, the fate of the prince's family can be imagined!

Song Yixiao was groaning, but he heard the guard's announcement from outside the carriage: "Grandpa, the East Palace has sent someone to say that the prince invites you to come over immediately!" ”

Obviously, the prince also sensed the next predicament, and he needed to gather everyone immediately to discuss countermeasures!

Jian Xubai answered, kissed his wife's sideburns lightly, and whispered: "If I come back late, you can settle it yourself, don't wait for me - obedient!" ”

Song Yi smiled and sent him off the car and got on the horse, whipped away, sighed lightly, and leaned on the car: "Go home!" ”

After she returned to the Yanguo Mansion, she went into the inner room to change her homely dress, and the little maid reported: "The third master sent someone to the door, saying that the old lady Duanmu will probably arrive in the imperial capital on the seventh day of the second month, so that the grandfather can try to free up half a day on that day so that he can go outside the city to greet him!" ”

"I see." Song Yi smiled and nodded, "Let's go to the third uncle's trip and ask the old lady Duanmu about her preferences, and we can also prepare." ”

After sending his subordinates to retreat, Song Yixiao remembered that her husband was worried when he mentioned Old Lady Duanmu, and she couldn't help but groan: "He's annoying enough now, wouldn't it be worse to hear such a thing again?" Do you want to tell him in a few days? ”
