The sorrow of Jiang Tianchi's henchmen, Jiang Yashuang and his wife don't know.

At this moment, Qiu Yulan was walking slowly through the study, and saw that Jiang Yashuang was calling Lu He by his side, patiently explaining his homework to his disciples, standing for a while, quietly leaving the corridor and returning to the back.

Just as Mu Lian greeted her and said, "The fourteenth young lady has sent someone over!" ”

"Look at it, Hengzhu is just making up for it this time, and it's also under your hands to do things when you turn around." Qiu Yulan was thinking about things and said casually.

Mu Lian said yes, but she didn't leave immediately, but continued to pray: "Miss Biao is here, take Miss Ling with you." ”

"Why is she free to come over today?" Qiu Yulan's slightly frowning eyebrows stretched out, and he smiled, "I'll take a look!" ”

When I entered the room where I often stayed, I saw Zhuang Man holding a woman with pink makeup in her hand. The baby is trying to let her play with Jiang Huiying.

Jiang Huiying seemed to be right to the woman. The baby was not very interested, and touched Nian Xue lying on her lap by herself, and occasionally pulled the woman perfunctorily. The baby's little hands, full of reluctance - when he saw his mother coming, he hurriedly called softly: "Mother! My little cousin is looking for you! ”

Qiu Yulan responded with a smile and looked at Zhuang Man and the woman in her arms. Baby, just smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Guoguo's eyebrows and eyes have grown a little more?" "This woman. The baby is the child who landed in the first month, and the name has not yet risen, because Zhuang Man loves to eat fruit when she is pregnant with her, and the milk name is called Guoguo.

"Really? Every day in front of me, I don't really see it. When Zhuang Man heard this, she picked up her daughter and looked at her a few times, then put it back on the couch, and said with a smile, "I want Ying'er to take her to play with me, thinking that they are all girls - but Ying'er doesn't seem to like my Guoguo very much?" ”

"No, it's not." Jiang Huiying hugged Nian Xue, her big black eyes turned, and she said in a milky voice, "It's because I have little strength, I can't hold Sister Guoguo, I'm afraid of hurting her!" ”

Zhuang Man covered his mouth when he heard this, and said deliberately: "Then I don't want you to hug my sister, I want you to play with my sister, are you willing?" ”

Jiang Huiying opened her mouth, looked at her mother and then at her, and reluctantly pushed Nian Xue away: "Okay!" ”

"Then let Mother Zhou take you to the next room to play!" Qiu Yulan also hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

After sending the children out and clearing the scene, Zhuang Man teased: "Why are Lang'er and Ying'er not like Cousin Nineteen?" It's not honest at all! "How could she not see that Jiang Huiying's so-called fear of not being able to hold her sister was simply a prevarication, and the truth was that she didn't like to play with Ling Guoguo?

Qiu Yulan smiled: "What is the way to be born?" Besides, aren't you still ignorant now? When I grow up in the future, I'm afraid that they won't be able to play together when I see them a lot? ”

"These are the little things." Zhuang Man flicked the green silk on his sideburns, looked out the window, and said in a low voice, "You went to the palace to see the Queen Mother today, how is she?" Hearing about His Majesty...... Lu Wangchan fell ill after the ceremony, and she hasn't been well until now, and I don't know how she came over in the past two days? ”

"King Lu is fine, she wants to go to Lu Di in two days." Qiu Yulan didn't smile when she said this, and she was silent before saying, "It's just that you also know that such a big change has happened, and she is very confused now, so I don't want to send it when the time comes—she doesn't want to see us for the time being." ”

Zhuang Man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Really...... I also said that Lu Di is so far away from Beijing, and I will often send her things in the future......"

"Have you forgotten that the couple are still there? She won't lack anything. Qiu Yulan sighed, "Let's not talk about anything else now, but the husband is here, and the children are fine." But she ...... "Speaking of this, she suddenly saved her mouth, and hurriedly covered it up, "You also know that when the first emperor was here, he was always good to her, but this is suddenly gone, and now she has to go to Ludi...... Don't irritate her. Wait for two years, and when her mood stabilizes, let's try to contact her again! ”

"That's what you said." Zhuang Man pursed his lips, with an unbearable look on his face, "I think when we got together back then, although there were some troubles of this kind and that, they were all trivial...... I didn't think about it, but now it'......"

"She is still young, she may ...... in the future" Qiu Yulan's words were vague, and she did have hope in her heart, if Chu Shao lived, then Xin Fubing could only be the Empress Dowager Rui in her life and guard her son. But Chu Shao is gone, Xin Fubing, who is only in her early twenties, judging from the love and care of the Duchess of Eguo, it is impossible to let her daughter live so lonely.

Of course, none of these can be mentioned at present, even if it is not for the world's leisurely public, Xin Fubing's current state will definitely not accept it.

The two regretted Xin Fubing for a while, and Qiu Yulan asked Zhuang Man: "You should have gone to see your mother first, right?" Did your mother tell you? ”

Zhuang Man shook his head: "My aunt asked me about the situation at home, and teased Guoguo again...... At the beginning, the eighth cousin-in-law was not there, so I saw that my mother was waiting next to me, so I knocked on the side, why is it that now my uncle takes the eighth cousin in and out but not the nineteenth cousin? My aunt told me not to worry about it. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "I really don't know what my aunt and uncle think?" ”

"I know you mean well, but don't ask such questions in the future!" Qiu Lulan stretched out his finger and pointed at her forehead, as if she was still in the boudoir, and reminded with a chuckle, "Now not only does my father come and go with my starling, but my mother comes to me, although I am not cold, but my eighth sister-in-law is also much more diligent than me...... If she knows that you say this, I'm afraid she'll hold a grudge against you! ”

"Hate me?" Zhuang Man disdainfully, "I'm afraid of her?" ”

Although Mrs. Zhuang is very good to her daughter-in-law, she also loves her niece, in the end, the blood relationship cannot be replaced by other relationships, and Jiang Yadan is not particularly fond of his wife, so Zhuang Man never put Chu Yitong in his eyes.

"I'll be honest, you can say this before, but in the future, you'd better be more restrained!" Qiu Yulan shook his head and sighed, "After all, my father does love Starling a little more now, doesn't he?" "The wife is more expensive than the husband, if it is really Jiangya Dan who inherits the treasure in the future, after Chu Yitong's mother is in the world, if Mrs. Zhuang is fine, if Mrs. Zhuang goes, Zhuang Man will have a hard time.

Although Jiang Yadan is not bad to his cousin, he is far worse than his own sister - especially since he can't protect his cousin from being bullied by his wife all day long!

Zhuang Man also understands this, but her sex. Zi didn't give in like this, and said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid that she will be too late to be busy with the lawsuits of the three palaces and six courts, and it will be strange if she has free up her hands to deal with me!" ”

"You ...... mouth" Qiu Yulan smiled, not wanting to continue talking about this topic with her - it just so happened that she wanted to find someone to talk about the matter of Zishen Palace, "I came out of the Queen Mother today, and deliberately basked in the sun in the court for a while, until I felt heat stroke before leaving the palace gate, and finally the fifth aunt sent me to Zishen Palace to rest for half a day before I could come back." ”

Zhuang Man was surprised: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I haven't seen my grandmother for a few days, and I miss it in my heart, but my grandmother hasn't summoned anyone these days, so I want to take the opportunity to go and see it secretly in the Purple Deep Palace." Qiu Yulan said in a low voice, "As a result, I was hit by someone halfway through, who are you?" ”

"Who?"

"Father!"

Zhuang Man's eyes widened: "What is he doing in the Purple Deep Palace?" ”

"I'm also strange, but my father asked me what I was doing sneakily, and mentioned that Little Nineteen and Little Twenty were not in good health, so that I could be a mother more...... Do you think I dare to ask him? Qiu Yulan turned the bracelet on his wrist, "It's back like this!" ”

Zhuang Man pondered for a while and said, "It's so strange, could it be that the old lady summoned him to meet him in private?" But on this eye joint, my uncle should be busy in the front court, how can he have the time to go to the harem to see the old lady? ”

"Do you think it will be...... and the fourth aunt still have ...... Does Yongfu have anything to do with it? Qiu Yulan reminded, "Otherwise, even if my father is free, my grandmother may not be in the mood to summon him, right?" ”

"Empress Dowager Jiang and Yongfu are not dead?!" Zhuang Man's eyes couldn't help but light up, and after blurting out, he quickly raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, and asked in an excited whisper, "Is this the case?!" ”

Qiu Yulan frowned and said: "I don't know - but in this situation, unless it is related to these two things, my grandmother doesn't even want to see the nineteen who were raised by herself, let alone my father, who has not had much contact?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhuang Man patted a few cases excitedly, and almost stood up, "It must be so!" ”

"It was discovered by my father in the middle, and I didn't get into the dormitory." Qiu Yulan sighed, "So, I don't know if it's true or not—don't you spread the word about it!" I'm just telling you, it's not easy to mention it before Nineteen, you know that when the fourth aunt and Yongfu passed the bad news, he simply scared me! ”

Zhuang Manbai glanced at her: "You call me a fool?" Even if Empress Dowager Jiang and Yongfu were fine, if this word was going to get out, they would have something to do! ”

Qiu Yulan nodded, in fact, she didn't have any bottom in her heart - she suspected that the old lady Tao in the Purple Deep Palace was already pretending to say this, and she was not good at saying it to Zhuang Man.

Because this not only reminds Zhuang Man of whether the suddenly "recovered" King Lu is also a person pretending, the most fatal thing is that Mrs. Tao is dead but does not mourn, but finds someone to disguise her stepmother in order to usurp the throne, Jiang Tianchi's move is a big unfilial piety. According to the moral norms at this time, Qiu Yulan's daughter-in-law is not interested in saying such things that are unfavorable to her father-in-law.

"If Grandmother is real, then it is very likely that the Fourth Aunt and Yongfu are alive, at least one of them is alive - basically Yongfu - otherwise Grandmother would not have survived this far!"

"If Grandmother is a fake, then ...... Then these three are already ......."

"It's a pity that I still can't see the inside of the temple!" Qiu Yulan remembered the situation at that time and sighed secretly, she really didn't expect Jiang Tianchi to be in the Purple Deep Palace, and she also found herself-I originally thought that if I could find out the good news, I could tell my husband when I came back, but now the truth is still confusing, and it is naturally not good to go to Jiang Yashuang and the premise.

Just as he was about to continue to say something, suddenly there was a thunderclap above his head without warning - followed by the rumbling thunder sound exploded in a majestic manner, and the sky, which was still bright, suddenly darkened, and the purple electric silver snake flashed, "bang", like big beads and small beads falling together, and it was already heavy rain in an instant!

In the early morning of the third day, the Duchess of Eguo was anxious to stop on the road leading to the outside of the palace in Ganli Palace: "Such a heavy rain, how can you hurry?" You listen to the mother, go back first! For my mother, I will go to Funing Palace to find Your Majesty, and ask him to let you stay for a few more days, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving! ”

"Sooner or later, why bother?" In the carriage that was stopped by her, Xin Fubing's indifferent voice came out, "This place is sad, it's better to leave early, isn't it?" ”

"But ......"

"No, mother, get out of the way, don't forget that you will go to Funing Palace, and you may not be able to find Your Majesty." Xin Fu smiled coldly, "Didn't he say that he would personally lead hundreds of civil and military officials to send them to the outskirts of the city when he got the days I gave him before?!" ”

The Duchess of Eguo was speechless, stunned for a while, and moved out of the way with tears in her eyes - watching the palace car drive past her, the silhouette of her daughter in the silk curtain was so familiar, but the figure of the little child sitting on her lap was indescribably strange! She subconsciously covered her mouth fiercely to prevent herself from crying.

When the carriage and horses were far away, the wind lamp hanging on the car had turned into a small point of light in the white rain, and it was not seen after all-this noble lady who was recognized as pampered and arrogant since she was a child suddenly squatted down with her arms in her arms regardless of her image, and most of the twelve torn skirts were dragged in the rain without realizing it, so she faced the wind and rain, and howled loudly regardless of it!

…… In the far away palace car, Xin Fubing closed her eyes slightly, her arms seemed to be lovingly hugging a boy of Chu Shao's age, but her expression was as cold as ice, she tilted her head slightly, as if she heard some cries in the wind and rain, but then she smiled to herself: "Is it the mood of mind?" It's just a storm, but it can be heard as a cry from the bottom of my heart? ”

Looking down at the well-behaved and silent boy on her lap, she sighed silently and closed her eyes - several years of palace career, the identity of the mother in the world, even if she didn't look at it, she knew that the place where the palace car passed by in turn at this moment, obviously closed her eyes, and the familiar scenery seemed to be vivid.

When the palace car passed by the Zishen Palace, a tear slipped from the corner of her eyes - she was carried into the palace along this road back then, and she originally thought that no matter how proud she was, in this life, she would be thrown into the palace after all.

But I don't want to be less than ten years old, but I have been swept away...... The same road, coming and going, youth is still there, but it seems that the joys and sorrows of a lifetime have been exhausted.

The grand wedding scene of the old days, the young, handsome, gentle and considerate husband who has no other thoughts, the mother-in-law who loves her with a plan, and the quirky, playful and cute sister-in-law...... Even the concubine Jiang Guifei, who didn't stop until the first month of this year from her grudge before her big wedding......

The years that once gave her warmth or liveliness, sweetness or sadness, happiness or misfortune, whether they are nostalgia or disgust, are now far away and can never be returned...... This Miyagi has nothing to do with her anymore.

Now she sits on her lap a child of unknown origin and identity, alone to places she has never been, and the future is unpredictable, more confused than darkness.

…… The long pavilion outside the city has already been cleared, and the downpour has caused smoke far and near, even though the long pavilion is surrounded by several curtains, Jiang Qianchuan and the others inside still feel wet and uncomfortable.

In the rolling rain and fog, a palace lamp was finally lit, and when it was closer, the outline next to the lamp appeared, which was the palace car carrying the Empress Dowager Rui and "King Lu", which was long overdue.

"The rain is too heavy, and the coachman is afraid that something will happen, so he will slow down, His Majesty and you have been waiting for a long time!" The carriage came to the long pavilion, but the Empress Dowager Rui did not get out of the car, but through the curtain of the car, she faintly greeted Jiang Qianchuan and others, "The surviving people dare not delay you, so I will leave!" ”

"Niangniang's words are serious, there is a banquet in the pavilion......" Jiang Qianchuan is waiting here for the original just to make a statement - they have a lot of things to do now, seeing that the Empress Dowager Rui resolutely refused to get out of the car, she gave in: "In this way, I wish Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Lu a smooth journey!" ”

"Farewell!" Empress Dowager Rui coldly spit out two words, the coachman waved the whip, the horse pulling the cart neighed, and along the official road, the lonely palace car gradually disappeared into the rain.

Seeing that the back of the last knight of the team was also blurred, Jiang Qianchuan dusted off the water droplets on the placket of his clothes, and said indifferently: "I'll go back later!" The previous dynasty is busy now, and the banquet that has been set up in the pavilion has been withdrawn! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"
