Chapter Forty-Four: When I Don't Know Your Thoughts!

The swing stayed in the Guogong Mansion, and Qiu Yulan was entertained with delicious food and drink, and occasionally took her to ask Mrs. Tao to say goodbye - after a few days, the people who were sent out to listen to the news came back to reinstate, with a face of shame: "Little incompetence, two days ago, I walked around the left side of the mansion where Qiu Gongzi and Miss Mei lived, and I never found out the situation inside. ”

"......" Qiu Yulan was a little speechless, the guard she sent was still good, and she had the impression that people were also clever, so she didn't want to show her stuffing - she paused and said, "I can't blame you all, Qiu Nie and Mei Xue are both experts in this way." Mei Xue...... When she knew you were sent by me, did she say anything? ”

"Miss Mei said that someone is indeed proposing to the lord of Yishu, but Young Master Qiu thinks it is inappropriate and has refused." The next person replied by hand.

Qiu Yulan groaned: "What kind of person is it? ”

"It is last year's champion Lang Cheng Xide, and his uncle is Cheng Jinjin, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, that is, the father of Xue Xiang's in-laws and Xue Xiang's granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Cheng!"

"Cheng Guoxi's cousin?" Qiu Yulan was taken aback, "The champion of the previous subject? That's not a small deal! ”

Although the swing is now the lord of the county, the identity is not ordinary. But from the point of view of power, her title as the county lord is not as worthy of her personal relationship with Qiu Yulan - after all, the fact that Qiu Swing is the bloodline of the Xihe Wangfu has not been recognized by the official, even if it is admitted, she and Qiu Nie's father are concubines, and they have passed away, and they have never been the king of Xihe, so they are not very noble.

And the Cheng family is not only Xue Chang's iron stalk henchmen, but Cheng Xide is also a promising champion, even if this condition is enough to marry a serious clan lord. Cheng Xide preferred to propose marriage to the reckless swing, and Qiu Yulan naturally felt a little incredible: "Is this what Cheng Xide meant, or is there something to say?" ”

"According to the person who delivered the message in the middle, it was Cheng Xide himself who took a fancy to the county lord of Yishu, so he proposed marriage on his behalf." "However, Young Master Qiu felt that the character of Lord Yishu and Cheng Xide might not be compatible, so he politely declined." ”

"What about the swing? What does she think about this? ”

"Lord Yishu didn't pay attention to the process Sid, and he has no opinion on the disposal of Young Master Qiu."

Qiu Yulan was a little confused: "Then she came to our house specifically, could it be that she really stayed for a few days?" "Listening to this, the swing doesn't look like it's here to hide from trouble - to be honest, Qiu Yulan doesn't think the Cheng family is the kind of person who is stalked. With their family's style, it is already a little reluctant for their children to marry swings, and they will definitely not mention it again after being rejected.

"Not exactly. Miss Mei said, because you are pregnant again now, but the big maids who were together before have changed a batch, and when the big house returned to Beijing, the people in the second and fifth rooms were also brought here, worried that the poisoning of the seventeenth grandson would happen again, and the county lord of Hengzhu Yishu had nothing to do, so he sent the county lord over to show you something...... Miss Mei said that after all, you are good, and it is good for them! ”

That's pretty much it! She said, "How can the swing come and stay for a while?" This blood cousin is not a person who loves to hang out!

Qiu Yulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will receive her favor." "Having such a "world-end" person as a swing sitting in the yard really saves a lot of worry. Usually Jiang Yashuang is not there, but she can still be a companion.

In mid-June, there is only half a month left before the descent of the eldest princess of Le Xin on the Wanshou Festival, and the entire Emperor Mountain is very busy!

In fact, according to the royal family's original plan, it was to cancel this year's summer vacation and stay in Beijing to hold the descending ceremony of the eldest princess.

But the eldest princess Lexin considered that the Empress Dowager Jiang was already old and the prince Chu Shao was too young, so she couldn't help but be hot, and offered to hold a bow in the palace, anyway: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." The imperial city is like this, and the palace is the same, they are all married in the royal family, and they are all the same. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't care, she has always been in good health, when she was young, she was not inferior to men in riding and shooting, and if she didn't escape the heat, she felt that it was stuffy in the cool room. But with the premature death rate of children at this age, the little prince who is less than a year old really makes the emperor and queen feel worried. So after the eldest princess Lexin insisted, the emperor praised her, and it was approved.

In this way, Emperor Mountain is naturally extremely busy - although both the Wanshou Festival and the eldest princess descending ceremony are happy events, many things can be directly used in the descending ceremony after being taken out on the Wanshou Festival, but it can't really be unchanged, which makes the eldest princess Lexin too shameless!

In short, in full swing, an inconspicuous edict arrived at the Guogong Mansion: after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Huizhi will be officially welcomed into the palace and ranked as a concubine!

"Did Mother see that?" After Jiang Huizhi received the order, he sent off the chamberlain, returned to the room, sneered and pointed to the splendid Yizhi, gritted his teeth and said, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's really a good day - it's June, and the government and the opposition are staring at the Wanshou Festival and the decline of the eldest princess Lexin, who will care about me The day of entering the palace has finally been set?" When July passes, in August, I will pack the ticket Xin's slut will definitely hold a Mid-Autumn Festival, so big that after everyone forgets the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be many concubines in the palace! ”

What makes her most angry is not here, is, "I entered the palace as a concubine on August 16, and on August 24, King Wei married Wang's daughter as Princess Wei!" This is deliberately caught in the middle and ignored by the past! What a chaise! At that time, the degree of attention attracted by the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle is not as good as the concubine before! ”

Xiao Dou said bitterly: "Now that our room is in a bad position, the Queen Mother also helps the queen, you see that Yi Zhi is considerate again, what is it that you are tired on the way back from Kui County to slow down the days, what let you have a reunion with your family again, what is the day of August 16 that the queen specially asked Qin Tian to watch...... Do you think we can say no? ”

“…… Someday! Jiang Huizhi was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "There will be a day!! ”

This news was full of malice to them, but it was very bland to others - Qiu Yulan casually ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift to the big house, and it was ignored.

Jiang Tianhe sent his daughter-in-law Zhao to personally come to the door with gifts to congratulate him, and said to Xiao Dou: "There are many royal events this year, after all, the kings and the eldest princesses have only completed the filial piety of the first emperor, and they are old, and several princes and eldest princesses are already old, so it is not appropriate to delay!" It's because the queen mother is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground - thinking that Huizhi is also not small, she has already said that the position of the concubine is reserved for her, and if she doesn't accept people into the palace, I'm afraid that rumors will come out! Niangniang, she racked her brains to arrange for Huizhi this year, this time is in a hurry, and I hope that the young lady will not be surprised! ”

Xiao Dou scolded her in her heart for being cheap and behaved, but she had to call out her daughter on the scene and thank Queen Xin for her thoughtfulness and care.

After finishing it, Jiang Tianhe personally went to talk to Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Ou: "The little prince under the queen's knee is not yet one year old, even if there are palace people to help, he can't do without the queen's care!" It's really hard to worry about this and that! After Huizhi enters the palace, if he still has to pick and choose the queen, he has no conscience! ”

Mrs. Tao has never had a good impression of the big house, but firstly, she disdained to worry about a great-niece, and secondly, she didn't want to leave the handle, so she said with a smile: "It's all a family, how can you pick and choose?" I'm afraid that someone is deliberately provoking? Tianhe, you have to be careful, don't let that starter villain take advantage of the loophole! ”

Old Madam Ou said lukewarmly: "You know that she is busy, why don't you help her in Dizi Mountain, what are you doing when you run back?" ”

The Hou Mansion of Jibei has not gone to Dizi Mountain for summer vacation in the past two years, because he is afraid that Qin Guogong will have a good job and can also take a hand - Mrs. Ou personally sent the words: "How can there be an uncle or uncle and grandfather who can't afford to be on the bed, and be a nephew and a nephew to happily go to the summer vacation?" ”

Therefore, on a hot day, the Hou Mansion also shrank in the house for the summer.

However, the Xin family all went to escape the summer.

This time, Jiang Tianhe heard that the edict to hire Jiang Huizhi had been issued, and he took the Zhao family back to Beijing to string. Lian, but in front of my aunt and mother, I didn't get the answer I wanted, and I was quite depressed, and said: "Isn't it because it's very hot this year, don't worry, come back and see?" ”

"Then you've finished reading, why should you go!" Old Madam Ou said angrily, "The queen has her own ideas for doing things, do you want you to beat the side drum for her so sparingly?" I'm afraid that if you use too much strength, it will mess up the queen's plan! ”

Xin Fubing chose such a time for Jiang Huizhi to enter the palace, and the intention was clear to people at a glance!

Originally, the reason stated in Yizhi's decree was also extremely high-sounding, and it was difficult for Dafang to say anything in his heart. But now that Jiang Tianhe is doing this, it is too much, but it seems that those reasons are all excuses, and the truth is that the queen deliberately suppressed Jiang Huizhi!

Old Madam Ou was very unhappy, "The queen is the wife of His Majesty, and there is already an eldest prince under her knees, who can move her steadily?" What do you say you're tossing! ”

Jiang Tianhe was aggrieved: "Aren't you afraid that she will be arrogant, and after entering the palace, she will be proud of the queen?" So knock it out in advance, so as not to ......"

"Lest she is not angry enough, and when the time comes, she will not be arrogant to the queen, and she will not be able to find a way to cure her father and brother for the crime of being unable to discipline her, so as to make room for your Xin family, right?!" Old Madam Ou didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and then sneered unceremoniously, "I'm old, but I'm not old yet!" When I don't know what you're thinking! ”

"......" Jiang Tianhe's true intentions were revealed, and he said, "How can it? Is this Uncle still there? Who would dare to get along with the big house? ”

Old Madam Ou sneered: "You may not be able to listen to what I say now, and I don't bother to speak!" In a word, you don't jump up and down again! No, the greed is too much, and it also affects the queen! ”

Regardless of her daughter's embarrassment, she just asked someone to send her out!

When Jiang Tianhe was driven away, Mrs. Ou sighed, "This day! ”

I can't get by!!

There is also Qiu Yulan who thinks so, she vomited to death, stroked her bulging lower abdomen and sighed: "I can only give birth in November, and I still have half a year to survive...... How's that going to happen?! ”

Jiang Yashuang was very distressed, but she couldn't help much, so she was helpless and asked, "Or I'll discuss with the elders and send you to Dizi Mountain?" He thought that his wife's pregnancy reaction was so intense, it was something that he had never had in the previous child, maybe it was too hot in Beijing, and it would be better to go to the mountains?

"Am I alone?" Qiu Yulan pointed to the room next to her with a dying breath, "What about An'er and Lang'er?!" ”

"......" Jiang Yashuang wanted to say that she could bring it herself, but she thought about the backlog of gong. Wen, even if there are staff members working overtime to help, the time is very tight, how can there be any effort to take care of the children - hand it over to the subordinates or others, how can parents rest assured that Jiang Jinglang was poisoned in the past?

"You bring it with you?"

"Don't toss, stay up!" Qiu Yulan shook his head, "The mountain is big, and I don't feel at ease when they run around!" ”

“…… When this child falls to the ground, I'll help you clean it up! Jiang Yashuang had nothing to do, so he had to coax and said viciously, "I don't learn the sensible and considerate of my eldest brother Lang'er at all!" It's really worth fighting! ”
