It was calm in the Rongxi Hall.

Yijing only stepped into the main courtyard, but saw that the servants led by Zhu Mama were all waiting under the corridors on both sides of the courtyard gate, and more than ten warblers and warblers stood with their hands down, but they held their breath and condensed, this formation was obviously different from the past, and it seemed that the calm at this time was just a break in the turmoil.

There must have been a dispute, but with the arrival of her and Yu Feng, it died down again.

Yijing sighed softly, with a slight regret.

Yu Feng glanced at the little wife beside him with a smile, lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, with the temperament of Xie Shizi's brothers and sisters, I have to quarrel next." ”

The beautiful scenery immediately brightened.

As soon as he got up the white jade steps in front of the main hall, he saw a few people sitting in the hall, and Yi Jing first saw the slightly reddened eyelids of Xiao Xie standing beside the old princess, and the chagrin on his face that could not dissipate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but roll, but he quickly wiped away the schadenfreude.

When seeing the ceremony, Yi Jingcai carefully looked at Xie Shizi, who was middle-aged, with a square face of Chinese characters, his eyebrows were not frowned, but there were crepe marks of the word "Sichuan", and a pair of eyes were very similar to Xiao Xie's life.

looked at Aunt Zhi standing on the side, of course, she was no longer embarrassed, but her eyes were redder than Xiao Xie's, her eyes were full of water, and her sideburns were a begonia silk flower, which made her cheeks even paler.

Aunt Zhi was also looking at the Shizi couple who came side by side, and saw that they were walking up the stairs, and the Shizi was dressed in a dark green orchid leaf arrow sleeve brocade robe, which set off his body like a green bamboo, compared to a few years ago, the temperament was still refined, but the slightly pale young man at that time had become more calm, still like a crown of jade, the ruddy lips were no longer as green as at that time, the eyebrows were still like the beauty of the landscape, and the contours of the cheeks were becoming more and more distinct.

She suddenly remembered that summer, still in this main hall, she was in a nervous mood, met his smiling eyes, and felt a slight sweetness in her heart, and a shy feeling of burning ears and temples.

And at this time, his gaze would not linger on her for a moment.

The woman who stood side by side with him, smiling like a flower, her eyebrows were graceful, her words and deeds were generous, and under his gentle gaze, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were shining between her expectations, so bright and noble that she was ashamed of her appearance.

The awkward and tense atmosphere in the main hall because of a dispute dissipated invisibly in the unscrupulous smile of the princess.

It is said that the two of them are comparable to the pearl of the jade wall, but it turned out to be not flattery.

Xie Zhi couldn't help but wonder if she hadn't been worried that her son would not be able to marry him at that time, and obeyed the orders of her parents to marry him, and stood side by side with him at this time, would she be as radiant and happy as this.

How could he only have a sedan chair to enter, and the day after the wedding, he was humiliated.

How could he still be scolded by his aunt in front of his parents, who was "just a concubine" and "shameless".

She thought of Yu Zhou, who was half-drunk that day, looking at her indifferent gaze in front of Mingyue and a few maids, and spread out her hand to scold her for "what are you doing in a daze".

There was no pity, and when she couldn't hold back her tears because of the pain, he had to sneer: "Aren't you looking forward to this day?" Why, I regret it at this time, slut, I am the one who regrets it. ”

The internal organs gave birth to a sharp pain, so that Xie Zhi was shaky and unsteady on her feet.

"Grandmother, I saw that Zhiniang's face was extremely bad, she should be unwell, let her sit down and talk too."

Yi Jing accompanied the old princess and Mrs. Xie to laugh and make a noise, easing the atmosphere in the hall, the old princess allowed Xiao Xie to sit down, of course, she would not let Yi Jing stand and wait, when she turned around, Yi Jing saw that Aunt Zhi's face was pale, her sideburns were sweating, her knees trembled slightly, and she did not hesitate to intercede for her.

"Let's sit down." The old princess didn't mind.

Mrs. Xie looked at Zhi Niang standing still, but Yi Jing smiled and thanked her, and helped her sit down, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly, they are all daughters from the Gong Hou Mansion, Zhi Niang is still a few years old with Yi Jing, although her own mother said that she was not as good as her own child, she never neglected the basic etiquette and discipline, she usually looked good, but compared with others, it was really different.

She has long been on pins and needles, in fact, she doesn't want to come to this trip at all today - Xiao Xie's temperament Mrs. Xie is very clear, when she was in the boudoir, she was a tricky and arrogant person, and after marrying into the palace, she was even more domineering, and her mother-in-law indulged in pampering when she was alive, and her sister-in-law never dared to say half a word in front of her, Zhi Niang was a concubine, and she did such a thing, dragging down the whole family to raise their heads, although Xie Shizi was not as good as before, but in the end, she was a daughter who had been spoiled for more than ten years, and she didn't want Zhi Niang to be wronged by others, forced Yu Dong to agree to invite Feng Yiren, which can be regarded as fighting for decency for Zhiniang.

But in the end, she is just a noble concubine, and there is a mother-in-law like Xiao Xie on her head, how can she not be wronged.

As soon as Xie Shizi heard that Zhi Niang was almost forced by Xiao Xie's to avoid Zi soup, where could he hold back his anger, and insisted on coming to ask for an explanation, Mrs. Xie knew that the brother and sister would inevitably quarrel, and sure enough, after two sentences, in front of the old princess, they quarreled without scruples.

For a concubine who is a concubine, Mrs. Xie only thinks it is ridiculous, not to mention that the other party is still her own sister.

But Xie Shizi forced her, she was helpless, as a mother-in-law, even if she pretended, she had to say a few good words for Zhiniang, but she was scolded by Xiao Xie's face, or those old words, scolding her for neglecting discipline as a mother-in-law, and not waiting to see her concubine in the first place.

Mrs. Xie's mouth was like chewing a yellow lotus, and she was not dumb and couldn't say bitterness.

I was worried that for the sake of a Zhi Niang, I would have a complete stalemate with the Chu Palace, and I would have no support in the future, and I would be more and more neglected by the nobles of Kyoto.

Although the old princess is also the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, she has always been a confused and weak person, far inferior to the daughter-in-law of the Xiao Xie family, and the king of Chu and the prince have been estranged from the Xie family in the past, otherwise they will carry it with them, and the prince will not be idle for many years.

How could Mrs. Xie be willing to come to the Chu Mansion to make trouble for Zhiniang.

However, when she saw Yijing's attitude towards Zhi Niang at this time, her mind changed slightly, so although she was dissatisfied with Zhi Niang's dullness, she pretended not to notice it.

Although he was scolded by the eldest brother, he cried and cried the Duchess of Zhenguo, who had passed away for many years, and successfully blocked Xie Shizi's mouth, and Yu Feng and his wife came, seeing that Xie Shizi was getting worse and worse to talk about Zhi Niang, Xiao Xie was very happy.

"Jing girl, you are still a famous lady, how do you not know the rules of etiquette, Zhiniang is a concubine, in front of the elders, how can she sit."

Before Yi Jing could answer, Yu Feng opened her mouth: "Second aunt, although the third sister is the second brother's concubine, she is still the niece and granddaughter of her grandmother, and Ah Jing also treats her as a cousin. ”

Don't say Mrs. Xie now, even Xie Shizi feels rare, Yu Feng used to see that they didn't even disdain to be a snake, Sanniang didn't say it, at that time, including Siniang, came to the palace as a guest, and wanted to enter Guan Sui Yuan can't, how could he ever think that this Zi Yu Feng would actually speak out to help.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and invariably glanced at the beautiful scene, secretly thinking in their hearts, it was rumored that Yu Feng attached great importance to the county lord of Guangping, and this was not true at all.

The old princess just looked at Xiao Xie and didn't care about the feelings of her brother and sister, and scolded her brother and sister-in-law for her sharp words, and she was already dissatisfied in her heart, and then she also said coldly: "Second daughter-in-law, I allowed Zhi to sit down, what you said just now, didn't you also accuse me of not understanding etiquette and rules?" ”

As soon as Xie Shizi heard this, he suddenly gained confidence, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to reprimand: "It's all because my mother used to have your temper in the past, how can you not respect your elders?" Besides, even if Zhiniang is a concubine, she is also your niece, if Zhou'er marries a wife, she should naturally hold a concubine ceremony in front of the main room, and we will not rely on the momentum of the Guogong Mansion to force you to slack off your serious daughter-in-law, and keep saying the rules of etiquette and teaching, one to contradict the elder, and the other to reprimand the younger generation for no reason, what kind of etiquette is this? ”

Yi Jing's heart snorted, this time it wasn't that she wanted to stir up trouble, who made the second aunt uninteresting-even if Zhiniang was a concubine in Yuzhou, what could she do with the long house, because of her in-law relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion, she was willing to treat Zhiniang as a cousin, could the second aunt still force her to treat people as aunts?

Ignoring Xiao Xie, who was bubbling with an invisible flame above his head, Yijing only smiled sweetly at Zhiniang and helped her sit down: "Since grandmother has agreed, the third sister will sit down." ”

Well, now simply call the third sister.

Xiao Xie was so angry that his eyes rolled his eyes, where was he willing to suffer this secret loss, and he sneered again: "Brother, don't complain that I treat Zhi girl strictly, she lost her family education when she was in the boudoir, at this time, it is not as good as it was at the beginning, let alone a concubine, even if it is a serious daughter-in-law, there is only the reason to obey the teaching, I am not like my sister-in-law, even if Zhi Yatou is a concubine, I also treat her as a niece, I can't let her no longer know the importance of the rules, and I don't have to make people laugh at the Xie family's improper family style." ”

Yu Feng saw that Xiao Xie didn't point the finger at Yijing, of course he didn't pay attention to it, Yijing was just going to see the excitement, and he wouldn't trap himself in it, he sat upright with his eyes down, but he "admired" Xiao Xie very much in his heart - seeing that Xie Shizi was very dissatisfied with her, and the old princess had already been partial, she still bit the tutor of the Zhenguo Mansion, and even brought Mrs. Xie with her, and didn't completely offend people, even if Mrs. Xie didn't wait to see the concubine anymore, she was very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xie couldn't bear it: "My sister-in-law kept accusing me of improper discipline, and blamed my mother-in-law for treating my concubine badly, I feel strange, Zhou'er is your own son, how can he be so uneducated, even if Zhiniang had something wrong at the time, but a slap can't make a sound, if Zhou'er is a well-behaved person, how can he do such a thing, ruining Zhiniang's innocence, why Zhiniang is condescending to the concubine position, it is all your godson who has no way, at this time you are embarrassed to treat Zhiniang harshly, I don't know what your mouth full of etiquette rules is." ”

This can be regarded as stabbing the honeycomb on Xiao Xie's head, only to see her stand up on the ground, her eyebrows raised, her eyes glared, and she frothed at Mrs. Xie: "You still complain about me?" How dare you say that my son is not? Obviously, the daughter of your family couldn't get married, so she sent her to the door in vain, and forced Zhou'er to accept her as a concubine......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Shizi in a cold voice: "If Yu Zhou is reluctant, why do you force Zhi Niang to drink the soup of avoiding children, shouldn't Yu Zhou be responsible for ruining Zhi Niang's innocence?" It's just that in the name of a clan, you can't marry a concubine as a wife, I think it's in the relationship between brother and sister, it's not good to force you to compromise, how do you know that you have to make such an inch. You are also a little self-aware, Yu Zhou will be an idle clan relative in the future, if it weren't for his brother-in-law still in charge of Xishanwei, he wouldn't even be able to mix up a serious errand, and the Zongren Mansion wouldn't care if he married a wife or a concubine, not to mention the queen mother and the saint would also theorize. I wronged Zhi Niang as a concubine because of your brother, if it is changed to another family, this matter will be stabbed in the Zongren Mansion, Yu Zhou will be ruined first, and you will not be able to escape the charge of being a godson who is not strict and ruining the royal reputation. ”

This is not bad, Zhi Niang is a concubine again, and she is also the daughter of the Gonghou Mansion, if Xie Shizi really did not forgive at that time, Yu Zhou had no choice but to marry Zhi Niang, even if Yu Zhou is a child of the clan, but with the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites have no reason to object, and the saint will not pay attention to such idle matters.

But when the old princess heard that Xie Shizi was dissatisfied with Yu Zhou, she was not happy in her heart, and then scolded him heavily: "Don't talk about it, what good is it to mention the past?" You can't write two words of thanks in one stroke, not to mention that you are still brothers and sisters, although they are all for your children, you shouldn't be so-for-tat. ”

Xiao Xie saw that the old princess was still willing to defend Yu Zhou, and immediately contained two tears: "Mother, Zhou'er is your own grandson, brother and sister-in-law are going to make him ruined, you have to be the master of Zhou'er." ”

The old princess was rarely sober this time, and glared at Xiao Xie: "They also feel sorry for their daughter, and they are in a hurry, where will they do that, okay, don't argue about this matter anymore, the matter of Zhi Yatou, I originally said that the second daughter-in-law should not be, and there will never be another in the future, Zhi Yatou is my nephew's daughter, and with me for a day, no one will treat her badly." ”

Xiao Xie's cry choked in his throat, and he gritted his teeth for a while.

Seeing that Xie Shizi was triumphant, Mrs. Xie smiled at the corner of her lips, and Yi Jing was busy saying flattering words on the side, Xiao Xie only felt a stream of flame pulp surging in his lower abdomen, and suddenly said a sentence-
