Yijing did not come forward to contact the third master, only asked Mrs. Xie to ask the matter, the third master wanted to blackmail a sum of money, and gave the two granddaughters a "value" of 30,000 taels of silver, Mrs. Xie got up and wanted to leave, looking like she ignored it, the third lady was anxious, and now the property in his hand has long been sold out, but life is still poor and luxurious, but all the elderly mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have been sold, but there are still many beautiful maids in the house, wearing silk and gold and jade, but several granddaughters and grandchildren only wear sackcloth and shirts all day long, In recent years, even three meals a day are not guaranteed.

Just relying on the money and things asked for in Xiao Xie's hands, the third master can also take care of his delicacies and delicacies, which makes the beauties around him complain softly for a while-Master, this year's spring clothes have not been made new.

There was a three-year-old male grandson who was starved to death.

Therefore, as soon as the third grandfather heard that he wanted his two granddaughters to accompany him to Xiliang to be Teng's concubine, he started the calculation of the lion's big mouth, but Mrs. Xie didn't buy it, and the third lady immediately deflated - the fourteen-year-old concubine in the long room had been sold to the brothel by him, and because of her ordinary appearance, he gave thirty taels of silver, and the third daughter-in-law originally wanted to keep it and sell it to others as concubines, so it was easy to connect, but the housewife of the house was mixed up in three or two sentences, saying that the daughter of a wicked and rebellious sinner, buy it back, a hundred taels of silver, and you can hire a decent family with a clean and innocent family.

If you keep it in your hands, you can't sell it at a good price, and the third lady has long lost the mentality of "strange goods to live in", so he hurriedly called Mrs. Xie: "No matter how much it can't be lower than the money from the brothel." ”

Mrs. Xie was so angry, she was glad that Father Weng simply removed this house this time, otherwise the reputation of the Guogong Mansion would not be ruined by the third master.

Under the bargaining, the three-room, a concubine, and a concubine in the fourth room were finally sold for three hundred taels of silver.

Mrs. Xie remembered the instructions of the princess, and did not say anything more to the two girls who were cowering and no longer had the temperament of a golden lady, but only brought people to the princess.

The one in the third room is still mourning for his parents, and he is filial piety.

But if she really wants to be Teng, she will inevitably pass on to the Xie family, and she will have nothing to do with the third master.

Yijing didn't say much, just briefly explained the purpose, asked the two if they were willing, if not, they could send them home, and they would not be forced.

When the two of them heard the word "go home", their faces turned pale with fright, for fear of being sold by their grandfather, so they knelt on the ground without saying anything, and prostrated their heads and said that they were willing.

Yijing asked Chun Du to take the two of them down, bathe, change clothes, and dress up - this is to enter the palace to let Concubine De and An Jin "pass by".

The two girls trembled and trembled, saluted, turned around, turned back, and sat down according to the instructions of the female official. In the past, when a noble woman got married, the concubine Teng was also considered a noble concubine, not to mention that she wanted to follow the princess and her relatives, Concubine De really felt that these two were a little out of her hands, and waved her hand to let the palace maid take them out, and said to Yijing with a smile: "The temperament is a little worse, but I also understand that the status of the Xiliang concubine is low, if it is really the daughter of Jin Zun and Yugui, the family does not want them to go Teng." ”

Yijing got up and replied: "These two are also because of their parents' crimes, and they have suffered a lot recently, and they can't help but be frightened, but fortunately, there is still a month, and there is still time to guide and correct." ”

Concubine De bowed: "It's good to have you training." "There is no objection.

It just so happened that the five princesses were also there today, and Concubine De intended to let her get close to Yijing, so she stayed and talked for a while before letting Yijing go to the back garden to see An Jin.

Seeing the beautiful scenery out of the side hall, the fifth princess stepped forward and sat down next to Concubine De: "Mother, what the third aunt asks for ......"

Concubine De paused the tea cup in her hand, and her smile faded: "I can't mention it, she can't think of it, and she wants to let her daughter be a concubine." ”

The fifth princess was stunned: "It is the fourth sister who is willing to say that she admires the character and talent of the prince of Chu...... Moreover, the prince will inevitably take the throne in the future, and the fourth sister will become a side concubine, which is no better than an ordinary concubine...... The mother concubine asked me to get close to Concubine Su, didn't she also want to get close to the Chu Wangfu and the Weiguo Mansion. ”

"I want you to be close, but I don't want you to have a grudge against them." Concubine De hated that iron could not become steel, and her eyes stared fiercely at the Yang family, who was both a daughter-in-law and a niece: "You remember my words today, don't spend any tricks and tricks for the idea of the four girls, offend Concubine Su, but offend the two mansions!" Seeing that Yang lowered his head and blushed and bit the corner of his lip slightly, Concubine De said again: "You are still not convinced?" ”

Yang Shicai snorted and said: "The concubine thinks that the fourth sister has a gentle temperament, and she does not have those malices in her heart, and she has always been good with each other, she not only admires the prince, but also admires Concubine Su very much, and she will be able to live in harmony with Concubine Su in the future...... Moreover, if the fourth sister becomes a side concubine in the future, it will also be beneficial to His Royal Highness. ”

Concubine De couldn't cry or laugh: "Let me ask you, if you want the fourth girl to become Goro's side concubine, do you still think you can get along with her in the future?" ”

Yang:......

After a long while, he said: "If it is beneficial to His Highness, the concubine will naturally be allowed...... Mother concubine, concubine body thought that the son of the world would accept a concubine sooner or later, the prince and the concubine, there will always be no cheap concubine from a servant girl, so as to avoid hiring a noble concubine from a prestigious family, if the concubine is good friends with Concubine Su, with her permission, the fourth sister may not have no chance. ”

Concubine De couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her eyebrows, okay, she saw it, her daughter-in-law is really virtuous, and also, the sister-in-law originally had her permission, knowing that the eldest daughter would be matched to the five princes she had in the future, and what she instilled in her child was a generous and tolerant bearing, which was good for Goro, but the daughter-in-law was young in the end, and it was naïve and naïve to live by herself.

"Concubine Su is regarded as a palm pearl by the eldest princess, the old prince has never taken a concubine in her life, Concubine Su will inevitably be affected by this, let me ask you, why do you think the eldest princess is willing to marry her most beloved granddaughter to the Chu Palace?" Concubine De began to correct Yang's preconceived notions.

"The king of Chu and the prince of the world are the sons of heaven and the princes, and the sons of the world are both excellent in talent and quality...... The marriage between the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu is also to stabilize the power, and Concubine Su and the prince are really a perfect match for the pearl and jade wall. ”

Concubine De shook her head: "First of all, the first King of Chu and the eldest princess have the affection of brothers and sisters, and the Chu Palace, the Mansion of the King of Chu and the Duke of Weiguo are already good families, and they still need to be consolidated by their children's marriages?" If the Weiguo Mansion really wants to stabilize its power, it will definitely let Concubine Su marry into another family, it can be seen that the eldest princess is wholeheartedly planning for Concubine Su, and does not want to use her granddaughter as a power struggle. The two mansions are both the ministers of the Son of Heaven, and they have a good relationship with each other, and they no longer need to use marriage to consolidate their power, that is, they are to the Heavenly Family, in fact, they can't get any benefits from the marriage between the Chu Wangfu and the Weiguo Mansion. ”

Seeing that the Yang family seemed to understand, Concubine De said again: "Moreover, Lang Jun, who is talented and excellent in Jinyang Jingzhong, is definitely not the only son, the eldest princess cherishes her granddaughter, and must understand that Concubine Su has been deeply affected by her grandfather's refusal to accept concubines since she was a child, and if her husband accepts concubines in the future, she will inevitably let Concubine Su not tolerate it, although it is natural for a man to take a concubine in Dalong, but according to the prestige of the Weiguo Mansion, if Concubine Su is allowed to marry low, the husband's family will never let the eldest princess's palm beads suffer the slightest grievance." ”

"But the county lord of Randing is the only daughter of the eldest princess, and marrying into the Jia family is already a low marriage, and it is not a ......" The Yang family was very unclear.

"That's the county lord's generosity, considering that the maid turned out to be Jia Zhonglang's room, he can't bear to let people have nowhere to stay, and an aunt who was born as a servant girl can't be regarded as a serious concubine, how can Jia Zhonglang have a good eye on the county lord, if the county lord doesn't allow it, do you think the Jia family will force it for this?" Concubine De sighed lightly: "The prince of Chu has not had a room around him, as you said, the prince and concubine will inevitably have one or two concubines, the eldest princess knows this, why is she willing to let her granddaughter marry into the palace?" And then there is the marriage of the prince, that is, even the old princess and the king of Chu cannot be the masters directly, and the prince has already asked the saint and the queen mother to choose a good match. ”

Yang:......

She has received orthodox etiquette education since she was a child, and it is hard to imagine that as a clan wife, she will not allow her husband to take concubines.

"Since the eldest princess is willing to marry Concubine Su to the palace, it must be that the prince has already said that she will not accept concubines in the future, and there is another layer that you don't know, and the third prince can ...... The saint was also embarrassed, but the prince still insisted on marrying Concubine Su, and he was not even afraid of having a gap with the saint, which shows the status of Concubine Su in the heart of the prince! That's it, I'll stop here, you are really good for the fourth girl, so persuade her to dispel this idea, and restrain her thoughts early, you must not mention this matter in front of Concubine Su! ”

Yijing naturally didn't know that her family cabinet was silently remembered again, as well as Concubine De's in-depth analysis of her marital status, she was just thinking about Concubine De's obvious intentions, it seems that this and the fifth prince did not give up the throne, when the prince was assassinated, Concubine De's family was the first to be implicated, but compared with the fourth prince, the fifth prince is not only low-key, but even inferior to the sixth prince in the Ming ...... It seems that the Son of Heaven does not care about five or six.

After two lifetimes, Yi Jing no longer thought that the Son of Heaven would not be able to see that the unruly absurdity of the three princes in the past was just a disguise, and he could not detect that his forbearance and obscurity were just to deceive the queen, but in that life, the Son of Heaven actually "believed" that the three princes were ambitious, innocent, and had the same brotherhood as the prince.

It seems that the Son of Heaven's mind is indeed biased towards the three princes.

And Yu Feng also seems to think that the ascension of the three princes to the throne is beneficial to the two provinces, the only sinister is the demon's obsession with her, so he plans to avoid the imperial city with the domain, and has the military power to guard Chuzhou, which is also a constraint on the three princes, and the three princes can only tolerate the existence of the vassal king of the Chu palace in order to balance all parties and maintain political stability.

The three princes did not have the power of their mother's family to rely on, and they could not do without the assistance of the two powerful people of the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu.

However, if the four princes ascend the throne, there are many henchmen of the Chen and Qin families, they will inevitably suppress the nobles and reform the military system, and it is very likely that they will not follow the order and gradually use thunderous means to first remove the Weiguo Mansion and then seize the power of the King of Chu.

Yi Jing let out a long sigh, and also hoped that the third prince could get what he wanted, of course, don't be crazy and mess around, focus on the overall situation, and let her go, a mere woman who is not worth mentioning.

At this time, An Jin was in the back garden of Jingren Palace, and she was sighing in front of a box full of gold and silver jewelry, and the corners of her eyes were wet red.

Before entering the palace, she said goodbye to her parents, Yu Dong sent Xiao Xie away, and gave this box of jewelry, saying that he was far away in a foreign country, he should take good care, and he promised that he would protect his biological mother Yu and his younger brother Yu Zhi's wealth and safety. An Jin remembered that over the years, her father's maintenance and love for her, she felt very sad in her heart, and she couldn't bear to see her father be convicted and die in the future.

But his father was still obsessed, and even said that the prince's title should have belonged to him, and the uncle and eldest brother were the doves occupying the magpie's nest.

An Jin clearly saw the greed and resentment in his father's eyes, and his eyes burned red.

Sure enough, it's hard to convince.

This part, life and death are gone, and when the news is heard again, it may be the bad news of the destruction of the family.

Xiao Xie and Yu Zhou's brother An Jin didn't care at all, but Yu Dong finally gave her life and cherished her father who had been maintained for many years, although he was malicious to his brother and sister-in-law, he was a loving father to her.

I still feel sad in my heart.

Hearing the arrival of the palace maid and the princess, An Jin stroked the tears from the corners of her eyes, greeted her with a smile, and sat down slightly.

Yijing didn't interject, just looked at An Jin and said unhurriedly: "I and my pro-Xiliang, you two are Teng concubines, and they are also noble, but I also said in front, Xiliang is not the same as Dalong, there is no concubine to say, the three surnamed concubines are all sexual, do not enjoy the title and even have to stick in the courtyard, no sense of freedom, and the strictness of the etiquette in the concubine room, even to the slightest exceedance will be executed, if you give birth to a daughter, you can not keep, and you can never see the child again, if you feel harsh and unbearable, it is not too late to regret it." ”

Naturally, both daughters were willing, and it was better than staying at home and waiting to be sold by their grandfather.

An Jin slowly bowed his head: "Since the two of you are willing, I also guarantee here, as long as the two of you follow the rules and do not violate the Xiliang etiquette law, with me one day, I can always protect the two of you, if there are heirs in the future, I will also try my best to fight for them to enter the office." ”

Seeing that the two girls were relieved, An Jin waved her hand, and when the two girls withdrew from the main hall, they took Yijing to the room to talk.

The matter of Concubine Teng was determined, and Yijing asked Mrs. Xie to continue the score for them, and invited the female monarch of Leyang to come to the palace and probably knew the two daughters about the Xiliang etiquette.

Time flickered, it was the end of May, the greeting delegation arrived in Dalong, Yiyangjun personally sent a dowry gift to the palace of the king of Chu, and worshiped Yu Dong Xiao Xie for Taishan Taishui.
