Today's spacious Qingque Avenue is like a river full of light and color, and the ice and snow have melted, and it is clear that the gurgling flow is not jammed, but the "water flow" is not as smooth as usual.

On both sides of this avenue, which can lead to dozens of cars and parallels, there are lantern wheels and colorful sheds built by aristocratic families as far as the eye can see, and the fire trees and silver flowers are shining and turning.

Separated by a slight distance under the color shed, it is a row of night market stalls, all kinds of small commodities are dazzling, from hairpin ring fat powder to pastries and snacks, of course, the most is all kinds of lanterns, the zodiac, the cowherd and the weaver girl, flowers, birds, fish and beasts are in short, the tricks are dazzling.

The flow of people in front of the stall is the most congested, and the fence separates the place, only for the carriage and the sedan to pass, the east and west sides are left a few zhang, only for the sedan car to follow the single line, so although the march is not congested, it is not as smooth as usual.

In the middle of the avenue, a row of improvised stages was set up, with singing and dancing juggling, attracting more people to stop or intersperse with watching, and the forbidden army in red robes and iron armor was mixed in to maintain order, which was chaotic but not chaotic.

Although it is the Shangyuan Festival, there are still few ladies and noblewomen who visit the lamp market on foot like the people in the market, most of them are taking a sedan car, but you can watch and enjoy the car curtain of the car.

The flow of people is like weaving, the incense car is like a cloud, the little ladies of the Chu Wangfu and the Weiguo Mansion do not talk about the usual pomp and circumstance, Yijing took a car with An Ran, lying by the window and watching the lively fall into a few maids in the autumn moon along the way, the aunt and sister-in-law sat side by side on the soft seat and talked, all unaffected by the hustle and bustle outside.

The topic is naturally the Queen Mother's unprecedented edict.

An Ran lowered his face slightly, and his temples were still dyed with two red clouds: "If my aunt comes to Changjie to spread the Empress Dowager's edict, I am so flustered, or the third sister is on the side to encourage and comfort, saying that there is no need to worry about having a grandmother and sister-in-law over there to take care of me, and tell me to do the same as usual, as long as I don't lose my grace...... The mother was very kind, so she asked me what I usually liked at home, and I heard that it was with the ladies of the Guogong Mansion to listen to the school, and the mother said again and again...... The queen mother rewarded a hairpin with a golden phoenix bead, and the concubine also rewarded a pair of jade bracelets...... The Queen Mother asked me if I was prepared for this year's Fang Lin Banquet, and asked me and my sister-in-law to ask for poetry...... It's all homely gossip, I don't dare to say more, I just answer when I ask questions...... Sister-in-law, I don't know if I have lost my honor today? ”

Yijing patted her hand and comforted: "You have done an excellent job, the Queen Mother and the Queen have praised you, and they all say that most of the women in our clan are a little delicate, and you are the most quiet." ”

An Ran's eyes were even redder, but his eyes lit up, and he involuntarily leaned towards Yijing's side.

She never thought that she would sit down with the Queen Mother and talk about it, and she never dared to think about it.

Since she was the governor, she listened to the nurse's advice to be cautious in her words and deeds, and the little child could see that her grandmother was disgusted with her, and her father had always been strict...... The second aunt has never had a good face for her, she is full of cynicism when she speaks, she only has a nursing mother by her side, but unfortunately she also died of illness, it was the nursing mother who was seriously ill and moved out of the village to recuperate, and told her about her biological mother's evil deeds.

Although the eldest brother is gentle and most concerned about her, she never dares to accept this concern because of her biological mother, and she feels guilty, so she has to be estranged as if she can be more comfortable.

The biological mother harmed the princess and the eldest brother, how could she expect the love of her family, how much suffering should be, so no matter how rude the subordinates were, she never thought of complaining.

Maybe this is the only way to do this in this life, and if she marries in the future, if her husband's family knows her biological mother's sin, they will not treat her well.

An Ran knew her embarrassing situation in the palace, so no matter how much An Hui provoked, she would never argue, Yu Xiang bullied and scolded her, and she was just a forbearance.

In fact, the most relaxed Chenguang is to go to the Weiguo Mansion every two days to study, although Su Erniang and Su Sanniang are not friendly people, they will not bully her like An Hui and Yu Xiang, as long as she is silent, she can be quiet.

She cherishes this period of Chenguang, likes to listen to her husband's eloquent conversation, and indulges in the elegance of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it seems that only then can she feel that she is a woman of the clan, different from the daughter of a poor family.

The person who has always been the most envious is the one who is like the five mothers of the Guogong Mansion, who is so pampered, unscrupulous in words and deeds, and unscrupulous.

But she never dared to take the initiative to talk to Wu Niang.

What did it start, Wu Niang began to take the initiative to talk to her, for her and An Jin and An Hui to argue, with delicious pastries or rare good tea, they also thought about her and An Jin.

She and An Jin are both people who are struggling in the rich township, with the bright halo of the clan on their heads, but they are all cold-eyed and ridiculed, and they have to be careful in everything they say and do, and compared to An Jin, who has a second uncle to maintain and cherish, she is even more lonely.

Therefore, even if Wu Niang repeatedly showed goodwill, she never dared to expect to really gain sudden friendship and love, and still treated each other with silence and caution.

How could he have thought that Wu Niang would become his eldest sister-in-law.

She thought that when Wu Niang knew that she had such a biological mother, she would hate her to the bone, so she would ignore it anymore.

How could she have thought that the eldest sister-in-law was still newly married, and she beat Diao Nu for her, stood up for her, and robbed the second aunt so hard that she couldn't say it. It was the eldest sister-in-law who told her, "You are the daughter of the palace, you are a golden and precious woman, and no one can slack off", and it was the eldest sister-in-law who encouraged her to stand up.

The eldest sister-in-law told her: "What Aunt Jiang did has nothing to do with you, grandmother, she is angry with you, and she slowly persuades, and there will always be a day of relief." She didn't believe it at the time, but her grandmother, under the persuasion of her eldest sister-in-law, really waited for her to become more and more kind.

The eldest sister-in-law also said: "My father didn't mean to be cold, and my father also understood that you were innocent, but my father couldn't let go of his mother's early death, and my father was actually blaming himself." ”

"The prince has never blamed the second sister, and the second sister doesn't need to feel guilty."

"Don't worry about the second uncle and aunt, the second sister must remember that your grandmother, father, son and I are your relatives."

The eldest sister-in-law encouraged her to be kind to the nobles, and introduced Wei Shiniang to know her, and they were really friendly people and were very close to her.

Even Fourth Cousin Xie, who looked down on her in the past, became kind to her at this time.

The servants in the palace no longer dared to speak coldly to her.

The eldest sister-in-law also taught her how to reward and punish the servants clearly, how to compare the loyalty of the servants, and how to win the awe of the servants from the bottom of their hearts.

In just half a year, her life is very different, just like the clouds that have accumulated for many years have finally been dispelled by the sun, and everything is clear and bright.

The eldest sister-in-law is the sunshine that illuminates her otherwise bleak life.

The eldest sister-in-law even asked her what kind of Langjun she liked, obviously, she was thinking about her marriage.

With the eldest sister-in-law in charge, she thinks that the haze will no longer surround her, and those happiness that she has never expected may really be able to favor her.

But today An Ran is a little worried, of course, because of the inexplicable attention in the palace, she is not a confused person, and she also realizes that the Queen Mother's attitude seems to be too unusual.

She is just an insignificant daughter's family, she has been unknown, and the Queen Mother suddenly values it, is it also because of marriage?

I hope I don't embarrass my brother and sister-in-law, she has such a biological mother...... It is already a great blessing to have the pity of my brother and sister-in-law.

So seeing that Yijing occasionally frowned and pondered, An Ran obediently didn't ask anything, and only told Yijing the truth about what he wanted to know.

She only remembered the words of her eldest sister-in-law, "You are the daughter of the palace, you are a golden and precious person, and no one dares to slack off", so today, despite her apprehension in her heart, she also forced herself to suppress the panic, just to not lose the dignity of the Chu Palace.

Yijing naturally didn't know what An Ran was thinking about, and she really couldn't figure out the intention of the Queen Mother...... This seems to be a harbinger of the intention to let the women of the clan marry others, but looking at Dalong, what family is so important that it deserves to be so encircled by the royal family?

Maybe it's the Yan family?

No, the Yan family does not have an unmarried Langjun of appropriate age, and if it is the Yan family, the queen will not pay the same attention.

Moreover, the queen mother is afraid and unwilling to marry Pingle's high-flying daughter into the Yan family as a daughter-in-law.

As for Enron, the Queen Mother also knew what the Jiang family did, so she never paid attention to it.

Thinking about it, I can't figure out a clear idea.

This is also of course, regarding the major diplomatic relations between the two countries, the letter of state of the Western Liang State was directly submitted to the Holy Lord, and even the Zhongshu Province and the General Administration Department were not in hand, and the Son of Heaven only handed over the third prince, the grandson of the King of Western Liang, and did not disclose it to others, including the two cabinet scholars.

In the harem, except for the queen mother and the queen, no one knows about the marriage between the Xiliang Qing clan and the Dalong clan.

How can the beautiful scenery be understood by relying on the "clues" shown by the Queen Mother?

Although the road was slow, the two chariots finally left the Nanying Gate after half an hour, and then chose the laneway that did not have a city to detour, and soon arrived at the bank of the Streamer River in the outer city.

An Jin and Qi Niang shared a car, the two little girls were excited all the way, the car stopped, and without the help of the maid, she carried the skirt cover and "jumped down", curiously looked at the brilliant lights around her, raised her eyes and glanced at the three words "Fuchun Building" on the vermilion lacquer signboard, Qi Niang asked: "This is really the property of the fifth sister, not leased out, run by yourself?" ”

This is a teahouse, because she once ran a little aunt's Shumei Building, Yijing has a little experience, so she simply took back the two brothers who handed it over to Bell to manage and operate, she just gave advice.

Naturally, there are stalls set up by small traders along the road, and there are also some jugglers showing off their skills on the street, but the flow of people here is sparse compared to the inner city, but the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the strait have obviously attracted a lot of noble children to rent, and there are constantly silk and bamboo music and the sound of staggered planning, compared with the prosperity of Qingque Avenue and Ping'an Long Street, it is a unique hustle and bustle.

Yijing and An Ran got out of the car, only to see Sanniang, Liuniang, and Banniang sisters also approaching each other, Liuniang didn't seem to be interested in the excitement around her, only looked at the signboard with a good eye, half a sound is a smile, close to Yijing's ear and said: "The signboard of the fifth brother-in-law's own book, if these scribes and talents in Beijing know, it will be strange not to rush to it." ”

Yi Jing coughed lightly: "Sixth sister take a closer look." ”

Liuniang glanced at Yijing in surprise, and sure enough, she looked at it again, and wondered: "Could it be that the fifth sister imitated it?" ”

Yi Jingyi raised his eyebrows: "It's enough to confuse the real with the fake, but it's not my imitation, it's a clear sky." ”

Liu Niang was really surprised now: "Fifth brother-in-law's little girl?!" ”

But I heard Qiu Yue answer: "People are already in charge of the outer court." ”

As he was talking, a guy had already entered, and the second brother of the bell quickly greeted him, and led a few nobles upstairs with a smile, while saying, "The little one has been instructed by the prince to leave a private room next to the streamer river, and a few little ladies such as Zhuo and Wei have arrived earlier, and I heard that they have an appointment with the princess, and the little one has led a few people in."

But still at the corner of the stairs, I saw a guy stepping down with a fast pace, with a panicked face, and shouted "Second Shopkeeper" with a crying voice.

Before the second shopkeeper could ask, Yijing heard the voices of several women arguing faintly upstairs, among which there was a particularly sharp shout, which was clearly vulgar words such as "blind dog's eyes" and "something".

I only listened to the guy's panicked explanation: "It is a female guest who booked two private rooms on the east side, and I don't like to watch the streamer river, and the small one has already explained, and the south elegant room that can enjoy the river view today has already been booked, and the noble man didn't listen, but he happened to break into the one set by the owner, clamoring to let a few little ladies hand it over...... The noble man claimed to be from the Three Princes' Mansion, saying that he was a nobleman in Tianhuang, and whoever he was, he had to die obediently...... When the big shopkeeper heard the news, he was supposed to persuade him, but he was slapped by the nobleman. ”

Yi Jingcai frowned, but Qi Niang behind her said in surprise: "No, although the two side concubines of the Three Princes' Mansion are a little arrogant, they are not like such domineering people." ”

Sanniang couldn't wait to ask: "Is the Third Highness present?" ”

In her opinion, the ladies of the prince's mansion should always accompany the ladies of the prince's mansion when they go out to enjoy the lanterns.

Yijing glanced at Sanniang, in the end it is really inappropriate to think that a bunch of women are crowded here to be watched, today is not ordinary, things will be talked about when they are bigger, and they are good sisters and confidants who take advantage of the festival to gather together to have fun, and it doesn't matter if they enjoy the river view or not, if you let go of the elegant room.

I made up my mind and walked up, but when I arrived at the door of the elegant room, I heard a sentence clearly: "Why are you stunned, why don't you come up to the mouth of this shrew who doesn't know what to do!" ”

Yijing saw a woman dressed in red brocade with her hands crossed on Xiaoman's waist, because she was facing away, she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly.

And Wei Shiniang, who was arguing with her, was already angry.
