Wei Mengying glanced at her daughter approvingly, and said: "My son is really smart: speaking of this candidate, you also have to shout cousin, it is a girl from your maternal grandmother's mother's family, her name is merciful, as her name suggests, she is very beautiful and cute, and the most rare is gentle and virtuous, and she is expected to be able to be a good steproom!" ”

"The lintel of the Cao family and the Wei family seem to have only produced six or seven petty officials, and the emperor is not at all inconspicuous." Song Yi smiled and said suspiciously, "What the prince wanted to tell Lu Ergongzi before was the granddaughter of the world's famous minister and the current prime minister, and the gap is so big, can it be done?" Mother is really a good means! ”

"It's just that Lu Guanqun has an heir on his knees." Wei Mengying said leisurely, "Although Lu Guanqun does not have the original concubine under his knees, there are already two male heirs, both of whom are smart and cute, and they are deeply liked by him!" If the stepfamily is too high-born, not to mention the concubine, it may not be a good thing for these two male heirs! ”

Song Yi snorted with a smile: "You yourself are also a stepfamily, and if you say such things to the prince, you are not afraid of being self-defeating, so that the prince will be suspicious of you?" ”

"Silly daughter, have you forgotten how Lu Guanqun's concubines came from?" Wei Mengying smiled for a long time, and covered her mouth and said, "That's because I was angry for you back then, and deliberately drove the Jin family to live in Zhuangzi for a year, trying to get those concubines pregnant—don't those concubines thank me a thousand times?" I just revealed a little bit of the prince's meaning to them, for the sake of their children and for themselves, how could they not cry and entangle in front of Lu Guanqun, and begged him to go to the prince himself to push the matter? ”

"Then how could the second son of Lu agree with the cousin of the Cao family?" Song Yixiao frowned and said, "Although the cousin of the Cao family is far less noble than the Gu family's daughter, she is your cousin's niece, and now the backyard of the Hengshan Palace's mansion is the time when you cover the sky with one hand, since the second son of Lu is worried that Xu Xian's background is too high, and it will be unfavorable to the concubine after entering the door, isn't he afraid that the cousin of the Cao family will learn from your cousin?" ”

Although she basically never met Lu Guanqun, and she didn't know much about the low-key second son of Lu, Song Yixiao really didn't believe that Lu Guanqun could have any good feelings for his stepmother - Wei Mengying was certainly not as harsh and difficult as the Liu family did to Song Yixiao when dealing with the original children, but in essence, the calculation was even better.

Lu Guanqun is almost thirty years old this year, and he is not three years old, after all these years, even if there is no evidence, how can he not count in his heart?

When Wei Mengying heard this, the smile on the corner of her lips deepened, and she said leisurely: "Speaking of this matter, I would like to thank you, good daughter, - if you hadn't forced the Jin family to death, how could I use this matter to blackmail Lu Guanqun to nod this time?" ”

Unexpectedly, seeing the anger in Song Yixiao's eyes, she smiled more and more happily, "I told Lu Guanqun that his original pair did things to you so excessively, there is a way that the husband is the wife, and the Jin family is not good, isn't his husband responsible?" If you don't want to be settled by you in the future, it's best to listen to me obediently, marry Cao Lianxiu, and everyone will save trouble! Otherwise, he just chose a consensual steproom with no backing to enter the door, and I can also bring her out of her ambition and not kill his two personally raised concubines! ”

Song Yi smiled and said coldly: "My mother likes to do bad things so much, didn't she think about retribution one day?!" ”

"When His Majesty Emperor Taizu conquered the world, he killed Yingye and shed blood, but the final outcome was to open a dynasty, and you are the master!" Wei Mengying smiled and said, "There is such a ready-made example, you tell me about retribution?" Good daughter, for my mother I know that you are not happy now, but as you said, our mother and daughter have to support each other, no matter how uncomfortable you are, this will not be revealed on your face, and you will leave for your mother, others will ask about our conversation, but remember to say something loving and considerate for your mother! ”

She smiled and returned Song Yixiao's previous words, "No matter how smart your mother's smile is, such a little thing is not a matter of effort for you?" Okay, calm down - go to see Xiao Qingyue for your mother, for your mother to be a loving mother, for the granddaughter who was just born, how can you not be in front of everyone's eyes? ”

It's just that Wei Mengying, who thought she had won back a city, didn't notice that in the corner of this meeting, Wei Chan, who had grown a lot of eyebrows and eyes over the years, was using the action of lifting the bottle to hide the coldness that flashed when she looked at her!

The full moon banquet on this day was very lively and smooth on the scene, but after the banquet was over, Song Yixiao remembered her mother's words, and always felt aggrieved and panicked.

After hugging her daughter for a while, she couldn't help it, so she sent someone to Wei's house to inquire about Cao Lianxiu's situation.

Jin Xun was ordered to take this trip, and when he came back, he said: "Old Mrs. Cao said that Miss Cao is the granddaughter of Mrs. Cao's mother's brother-in-law, one year older than Mrs., and she has a very quiet temperament and does not like to go out, so although she is Mrs. Cao's cousin, she has never met Mrs. ”

He also said, "This family affair was decided half a month ago, and Mrs. Hui was in confinement, so she didn't come because she was afraid of disturbing." ”

In fact, it is because Cao Lianxiu is Mrs. Cao's maiden family after all, not the Wei family, saying that it is Song Yixiao's cousin, in the end, she has changed her life, and she usually has no contacts, so she doesn't have to talk to Song Yixiao in person.

Song Yi said with a smile: "Lu Ergongzi already has two sons and a daughter, and he likes those two sons very much, and the relationship with his mother is not as harmonious as outsiders seem, does the Cao family know these things?" ”

"The slave maid listened to the meaning revealed by Mrs. Cao's words, and now if a man has a little identity, which one is not a group of wives and concubines? Even if Miss Cao marries into someone else's family, she will inevitably have to raise concubines and have children in the future. Jin Xun pursed the corners of his lips and said.

"......" Song Yixiao was speechless at this answer, what about Wei Chan's example, so that her grandmother would not worry about pitting her niece and granddaughter again?

However, when I thought about it, Mrs. Cao may not have thought of this, but Wei Mengying was the princess, and she was ruthless, even if it was her mother's family, if she disobeyed her will, she would inevitably be retaliated against - the Wei family and the Cao family couldn't afford to provoke her now, and they could only sacrifice one Cao Lianxiu.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, but her face was gloomy, Jin Xun knew that she was in a bad mood, thought about it, and said cautiously: "When the slave maid retired from the Wei family, Miss Qibiao came out to send the slave maid a few steps, and told the slave maid on the way that Miss Cao has always been sensible and cautious. ”

"The situation is stronger than people, what is the use of being sensible and cautious?" Song Yixiao sighed, not because Wei Chan was optimistic about Cao Lianxiu - her mother was really bad, and she couldn't think of any good countermeasures at the moment, so she simply decided not to think about this matter first, calculating that Jiang Muyao and Yuan Xuepei's wedding date was approaching, and ordered someone to take the congratulatory gift list that had been prepared before.

There are many happy events in March this year, first Jiang Muyao came out of the cabinet, then Wei Yinlian married Ji Mingfei, and then Qiu Gu married again, and there have been three cases so far.

Finally, there is a relatively large-scale finale - King Su marries the county lord of Jinghui.

After eating this series of happy wines, everyone in the government and the opposition felt physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately, in early April, the Huang Jingting case came to a conclusion, and the dust settled on this matter, and many people really breathed a sigh of relief.

In the case of ironclad evidence, Huang Jingting was naturally sentenced to beheading, his family members were confiscated, his family property was confiscated into the public, and the same was probably true for his party henchmen.

The cases handled by Huang Jingting during his tenure in Dali Temple have also been turned over several times, and the Jianling bloody case is of course the top priority.

The crown prince finally cleared his grievances, and Emperor Xianjia was satisfied, and he praised the people of the imperial history platform who had been busy non-stop during this time.

Imperial Doctor Wei Xi was directly transferred to the Ministry of Rites to be a scholar - Qiu Shuxia after succeeding Qiu Cihua, he put forward a letter on the grounds of "old age and decrepitude", and Emperor Xianjia left a few sentences of meaning, which was to make up for the vacancy of the Ministry of Rites, just let Wei Xi make up for it.

Other people also have their own rewards, but those who are directly promoted like Wei Xi are only Jian Xubai.

He changed his mission again, and went from the Imperial Historical Observatory to the Ministry of Works, serving as a squire.

Jian Xubai was only out at the beginning of the previous year, and as soon as he came up, he became a soldier from the fifth grade, which can still be said to be his military merits in Wuhuan, and he was compensated and appeased by the grievances, plus the advantage of the queen mother's personal raising; And during the summer vacation last year, he was promoted to two levels, and he was appointed as Zhongcheng in the imperial history, which was to save the prince's father and son together with Xu Xioa, and Emperor Xianjia was not only as a father and grandfather, but also as a son, to express his gratitude to his son and grandson for saving his life, and as an uncle, he took special care of his two nephews, and it was reasonable to be promoted exceptionally.

But what is going on with the so-called Huang Jingting case this time, the court almost has a bottom in their hearts, and this credit is at most hard work. The most important thing is that the top and bottom of the Imperial History Platform work as hard as him, or there are many people who work harder than him, but he is the only one who has been promoted three levels in a row and has become a waiter on the fourth grade - you must know that Wei Xi has only been promoted by one level from the Imperial History Doctor to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!

That's still the crown princess's father, the grandfather of the king of Zhonglingjun!

The point is, how old is Jian Xubai this year?

Of course, this will be a father, and he is only nineteen years old, and he has not yet reached the crown!

"No wonder everyone knows that fighting for storage is risky, but there are people who want to make a contribution to the dragon!" Many people sighed in private, "Generally, it is the emperor's nephew, even if he is also the son of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Shou Chunbo and Jian Sangongzi are both the brothers of Yan Guogong, but in terms of future, they are not as good as Yan Guogong!" ”

However, for Jian Xubai, the joy of promotion is secondary, and what makes him happiest is that he can finally take a few days off and accompany his wife and daughter!

"Two days ago, when I went to ask the emperor's grandmother to say goodbye, I met Princess Xiang who was also there with the princess." Jian Xubai hugged her daughter a little awkwardly, and while adjusting her posture according to her wife's instructions, she said proudly, "The imperial grandmother originally wanted to hug the big county lord, who knew that the big county lord would cry non-stop when he left the nurse's hands, and the imperial grandmother had no choice but to ask the nurse to come closer, so she looked at it for a while-or our daughter, I haven't seen her these days, but I don't make trouble." ”

"That's because Aunt Yun said that her daughter doesn't remember much about people." At this time, it was a little hot, Song Yixiao took a fan and gently fluttered the wind, and said idly, "In a few days, when she can remember people, you won't be in front of her for three days, do you see if she will give you face?" ”

Glancing at him as he spoke, he was quite joking.

The two of them will be teasing their daughter on the soft couch under the west window, Song Yixiao wears a pink hanging beard sleeve short shirt, embroidered a cluster of magnolia flowers on the left chest and right abdomen, tied with a water-colored fairy skirt below, and a concubine-colored brocade at the waist, the outfit is simple but charming, and the newly changed green window screen is lined behind her, like a pretty peach blossom.

She was plump after giving birth, but because she had practiced dancing hard in the boudoir, she was actually thin before she became pregnant, which would make her look more delicate.

The pink moisturized skin glows faintly in the sky light shining in outside the window, and a pair of apricot eyes are full of spring water, and there are thousands of charms between the light and longing.

Jian Xubai looked at it, his heart was hot, and he looked at the only husband and wife with children in the room, so he smiled playfully and said lightly: "This is not accurate!" After all, you also know that I have changed the mission again, and I have never been to the Ministry of Engineering before, and when I finish my business trip in the past two days, I can't say that I will be busy for a few more days. ”

Song Yixiao was about to speak, but he said again, "But Qingyue is really lonely, so let's add another brother and sister to her as soon as possible, so that the child can have a companion!" ”

"I'm serious with you, you're not serious!" Song Yixiao used a fan to make a gesture to hit him - Jian smiled and grabbed her daughter's little hand to stop her: "Good daughter, look at your mother's fierce strength!" You have to grow up quickly, and you will be able to protect your father and me in the future! ”

"It's useless for your daughter to protect you!" Song Yixiao let go of the fan, avoided his daughter's little hand, knocked on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "You dare to use my daughter as a shield, look at me if I don't beat you a few times for a long time!" ”

Their family enjoyed the joy of family, but in the palace of Princess Changxing, the atmosphere was heavy.
