Eleven Niang whispered what happened to Mrs. Tai, who pursed her lips and smiled when she heard it, and instructed the maids to set the meal.

Xu Siyu hurriedly helped Mrs. Tai to go to the east room.

Mrs. Tai asked Xu Siyu: "This year's March 3 was originally for you, do you have any classmates and friends to invite?" ”

"Nope!" Xu Siyu said with a smile, "My grandson's classmates and friends are all in Le'an. ”

The fifth lady smiled when she heard this: "Two days ago, the eldest grandson of Zhennan Mansion came to ask you to go on a trip. What, aren't you going to invite him? ”

Xu Siyu said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang originally instructed me to go back to Anle after the county exam, so as not to delay my homework. I have postponed my trip back to Anle, and I can't miss my studies anymore, so I have to study at home these days. At the request of the mayor of Zhennan Prefecture, I am afraid that there will be more invitations, and instead of spending time on this, it is better to read a few more pages of books at home. "I don't look like I have a lot of dealings with people.

The Fifth Lady was a little surprised.

There was a faint smile in the eyes of the second lady.

Mrs. Tai bowed her head: "What we told my brother makes sense. ”

With that, everyone sat down in groups, and the maids set up the meal lightly.

Everyone stopped making a sound, and each bowed his head to eat, and there was only a slight sound of porcelain clinking in the room.

After eating, the group moved to the west to drink tea.

Under the dust, a big red pile of yarn lanterns hangs, shining on people's faces with joy.

Xu Siyu talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, and Mrs. Tai and a few children listened to it with relish. The second lady took the teacup and tasted the tea gently, but did not make a sound. Sister Zhen followed Eleven Niang to greet everyone to drink tea, eat snacks and fruits. The fifth lady was a little absent-minded, touched Sister Xin'er's forehead from time to time, and asked the nurse about Sister Xin'er's situation in a low voice - Sister Xin coughed a few times just now.

Although there is a bit of noise in the house, it is also warm and lively.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the second lady got up to say goodbye.

Mrs. Tai left Eleven Niang to serve her to rest, and the others dispersed.

"You can rest in peace." Mrs. Tai comforted Eleven Niang, "Princess Fucheng was also a noisy person when she was young, but now that she is getting older, her temper has restrained a lot. If the Queen Mother is too much, Princess Fucheng will not blindly tolerate it. The fourth child is not really wooden, and these ways of advance and retreat are still known. What's more, there is an emperor - the emperor is not confused in major affairs. ”

Seeing that Xu Lingyi hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid she's worried!

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, helped Mrs. Tai cover the quilt, blew the octagonal palace lamp at the head of the bed, and moved the melon-shaped palace lamp on the kang table to the small table next to the floor cage.

The wind of the early spring night still lingers the cold of winter, and there is a crescent moon in the sky, and the hazy and quiet Yongping Marquis Mansion. Under the eaves hung a big red lantern swaying in the wind, like a naughty child frolicking, seeing that it was about to collide and separate, and the joy was non-stop.

Eleven Niang tucked her cloak and walked quickly into the hall.

The little maids were busy serving, changing clothes, and grooming.

Eleven Niang changed into homely clothes, leaned on the pillow of the big kang near the window and drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea comfortably, thinking about whether to wait for Xu Lingyi to come back, the little maid ran in: "Manager Bai is here!" ”

This time!

Eleven Niang thought of Xu Lingyi who entered the palace...... There was a flash of panic in her expression that she was not aware of, and while instructing the little maid to invite the white manager in, she put on a gown and went to the hall.

Manager Bai's face was pale, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Madam, there is a decree of the Queen Mother!" ”

A hint of uneasiness rose in Eleven Niang's heart.

"Got it!"

Then he instructed the little maids to report to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. 2 and Mrs. 5, called Amber himself, went back to the house to change into a dress, and hurried to Mrs. Tai.

In the quiet night, the main gate of the Yongping Marquis Mansion slowly opened in the dull "squeak" sound of the door shaft, and the lights in the backyard also lit up in turn with the opening of the gate. After a while, the Hou Mansion was already brightly lit.

Mrs. Tai's expression was calm: "The fourth child hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Nope!" As soon as Eleven Niang opened her mouth to promise, the second lady said, "Mother doesn't have to worry. If it is about the Hou Ye, it must be a holy will rather than a will. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, and the fifth lady stepped forward to pick up Mrs. Tai, and the group went to the courtyard in front of the small living room behind the main hall.

The messenger was the chief of Cining Palace. Seeing the inner family of the Xu Mansion, his expression showed a little embarrassment, and he waved his hand at Mrs. Tai, and unfolded the bright yellow brocade silk with colorful phoenix patterns.

"The third daughter of Yang Zhong, the brother of the Hou clan of Jianning, studied etiquette at an early age, dreamed of being idle, came out of the Ding clan, and was well-known in Huaqi. It was given to Yongping Marquis Xu Lingyi as a concubine. March 12, the auspicious day. ”

The feminine voice was as silent as a stone sinking into the sea.

The chamberlain coughed lightly uncomfortably, and shouted "Mrs. Tai" as if asking for help.

Mrs. Tai's face was a little pale, and she knelt there with her hands on her knees, and did not stand up for a long time.

The fifth lady looked at her face with a hint of panic, and hurriedly got up to help Mrs. Tai.

The second lady looked slightly sad.

The decree has been made, can it still not be accepted? Besides, kneeling like this won't solve the problem! reached the ears of the Queen Mother, adding a crime.

She reached out to pull Eleven Niang.

This is a matter of the fourth room, and only if she accepts Yi's order, Mrs. Tai's heart can turn around.

Who knew that as soon as she raised her hand, Eleven Niang, who was kneeling in front of her, had already stood up.

"Father-in-law has worked hard." Eleven Niang smiled and stepped forward to accept the order, and glanced at the chief manager Bai who was kneeling outside the door, "The Hou Ye is still in the palace, and the fifth master is on duty, so I can only ask my father-in-law to deign to go to the side hall to have a cup of tea." ”

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and handed the edict to Eleven Niang like a hot potato. stepped forward first and waved Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Tai, it's not early, I'll go back to the palace to resume my life." Come back another day to say hello to Mrs. Tai. Without waiting for Mrs. Tai to answer, she waved her hand at Eleven Niang again: "Mrs. Yongpinghou, I will leave first." After speaking, he glanced at the little chamberlain who followed him, and raised his feet and walked out of the small courtyard.

Manager Bai hurriedly followed, bowing down and walking out with him, while stuffing something in his hand.

It is related to the life and death of the Yang family after the queen mother, and the queen mother will not give in. Eleven Niang had already prepared for this. And the unknown always makes people feel worried and scared. The moment she heard Yi's order, she felt a sense of relief and calmness that the other shoe had finally fallen.

Thinking of Mrs. Tai's face, Eleven Niang turned around and helped Mrs. Tai's other shoulder: "Mother, I'll go back with you!" ”

Mrs. Tai tightly grasped the hand that Eleven Niang was holding her and nodded gently.

The fifth lady immediately let go obediently and stood aside lightly.

Mrs. Tai raised her head and glanced at the second lady and the fifth lady, and said solemnly: "You all go back and rest!" You don't need to go crazy with you! ”

This is extremely disrespectful.

The second lady and the fifth lady lowered their heads, responded in unison, and stood in place to watch the backs of Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang, who were surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, gradually disappear in front of them, and then they dispersed.

Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Tai's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and didn't want to embarrass Mrs. Tai, so she took the tea in Du's mother's hand and served it over, "No matter what the emperor means, what the Hou Ye means, since the queen mother's decree has been issued, there is absolutely no reason to take it back." Otherwise, where is the royal decency? Where is the majesty of the heavenly family? Mother just rest assured, I know the severity, I will act cautiously, and I will not let outsiders see our Xu family's jokes. ”

Mrs. Tai took the teacup and put it aside, but she really had nothing to say. Holding Eleven Niang's hand, he sighed long: "You are a good boy who understands things...... other words, but he couldn't say a word.

"Now that a new person has been given to enter the door, the day is set in a hurry, and there are still many trivial things to do. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, and I don't know what to pay attention to, I'm afraid that I still have to be instructed by my mother. Eleven Niang stood up with a smile, "Mother, I'll serve you and rest!" ”

Mrs. Tai shook her head slightly: "You go and rest!" I drank this cup of tea before going to sleep. ”

For the Xu family, who avoided the Yang family, the Yang family's daughter entering the door was not something to celebrate, not to mention that the news came so suddenly, Mrs. Tai also had to think about the future.

Eleven Niang smiled and told Mrs. Tai a few words like "go to bed early", and then Mother Du sent her out.

Amber saw that her expression was slightly solemn, and she also showed a contemplative look from time to time, while relaxing her hands and feet, and staring sharply at the accompanying maids and mothers-in-law, for fear that they would make some noise at this time and disturb Eleven Niang.

A group of people silently followed behind Shi Niang, walked through the verandah, and stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

Eleven Niang stood on the steps and looked at the brightly lit courtyard, and did not say a word for a long time.

The vast courtyard is filled with the sound of the night breeze rustling through the treetops.

"Madame!" The entrance of the courtyard is an outlet, if it suffers from the wind and cold, it will be bad - maybe it will be said by someone with a heart that it is a gas illness or a pretending illness, Amber tiptoed forward and gently called Eleven Niang, "Do you want me to get you a cloak?" ”

Tactfully remind her that there is wind here.

Eleven Niang said "oh" and said, "No need." Let's go inside! ”

Amber breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard Shi Niang say: "You say, when the newcomer enters the door, do you live in a separate place, or live with us." It stands to reason that she is rewarded by the Queen Mother, different from ordinary concubines, and it should make sense to live alone in one place. In that case, you will have to stay in the Liufangwu, Zhaojiaotang or Nongxiangkan on the west side of the garden. Liufangwu is close to the water, not very safe, and the Nongxiang Pavilion is a little simpler, for fear that people will say that they are sluggish...... Live with us," she said, glancing at the surrounding wings, "It's not okay to live in the front yard if you're a concubine." Staying in the back cover room? So what do you do? She lives in the east courtyard with her aunts, and Aunt Wen lives in the first place facing south, can't she let Aunt Wen move her place? She sighed, "What a trouble! ”

What the hell was Madame thinking? Don't send someone to inquire about what happened in the palace at this moment? Is Hou Ye safe or not? But these hearts!

Amber was momentarily angry when she heard this, and it took a long time for her to breathe. He said in a low voice: "For these things, you have to ask Hou Ye what he means!" ”

Eleven Niang didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words, and nodded: "Then wait for the Hou Ye to come back and make a decision!" Then he walked briskly into the house.

PS: In my impression, the children's exam requires three tests, so I wrote according to my impression. Later, I saw a message in the comment area, and then I was lazy, checked Baidu, and thought I was wrong, so I changed it. When I woke up in the morning, I felt that something was wrong, and I went to check the "History of the Ming Dynasty", only to find that there was something wrong with my statement. Fixed it a bit.

In the final analysis, my basic skills are not strong!
