With the regular clatter of horses' hooves, the words of Ying Ge'er and Qin Yang came intermittently.

Qin Yang explained to Brother Ying'er, and when he arrived in the Privy Council, everything would be under his command, otherwise he would immediately ask someone to send him home.

Brother Ying has always been proud of Qin Yang, nodded again and again, and shouted: "Brother Ying must be obedient!" ”

What was in the back, Wen Wanrong didn't hear it clearly, and she didn't have the heart to delve into it.

Holly stood aside, looked at Wen Wanrong's angry face, and persuaded: "Madam, cool, let's go back to the house first." ”

Wen Wanrong hummed expressionlessly, turned around and returned the same way.

Usually at this hour, she will sleep beautifully, wake up and freshen up at the point, and then enter the palace to set the province, but now Qin Yang deliberately made her so angry that she didn't sleep at all, Wen Wanrong sat on the rocking chair in the hall, stretched out her hand to bake the charcoal fire, and was in a daze, and forced to endure for an hour, and called the red calyx to come in and serve the makeup.

The red calyx is honest and upright, but after serving by her side for a long time, Wen Wanrong is happy or unhappy, and she touches it.

"Madam, the second master's temper is known to everyone in the mansion, don't take it to heart." The girl is not as sophisticated as Holly, and she can't find tricks to comfort people, but her mind is not bad.

Wen Wanrong looked at the red calyx in her glasses, exhaled slowly, picked a hairpin and handed it to her back, and diverted the topic: "I'll wear this today." ”

His wife didn't listen to persuasion, and she didn't want to forgive the second master, so Hongcao didn't dare to say anything.

Wen Wanrong is quieter than usual when she is in a bad mood, and she doesn't like to be bothered, even if the red calyx who is serving her closely, she has to leave the room and go with the word.

However, the husband and wife have not had a conflict for a long time, although Holly did not understand the main reason for this conflict, but the weeping flower gate saw that the lady's white face was really real, and after thinking about it after returning to the old lady, he decided to come over and persuade him.

However, when the red calyx stood outside the door and saw her, Nunu's mouth and eyes were colored, Holly immediately understood, thought for a moment, walked to the porch, and whispered to the door: "Madam, or the slave maid will find someone to go to the palace to take leave, you go to see the eldest girl later, the eldest girl will definitely make trouble if no one plays today, and the nurse can't take it alone." ”

"Got it." There was a response in the middle of the room, and after a while, Wen Wanrong opened the door and asked Holly to enter.

Holly's comforting words were still brewing, and Wen Wanrong spoke first: "You go and tell your grandmother now, the queen mother wants to be the lord of the county these days, ask the nurse to change the child's clothes, go to the weeping flower gate, etc., and follow me into the palace in a while." ”

"Madam, do you really want to take the eldest girl into the palace?" Holly was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "The second master doesn't like the eldest girl to touch half a point in the palace, you know." ”

and his mantle shall be passed on to other men's sons, and he shall be in charge of where his daughters go.

Wen Wanrong sneered in her heart, her face was faint, and she only asked, "Is it the second master or the queen mother?" ”

"This ......," Holly was speechless for a moment, and finally complied, turning back to the old lady.

After a stick of incense, Wen Wanrong saw Sassa outside the Hanging Flower Gate, picked up the child in the carriage and left in a hurry, no one in the mansion brought her, and Holly was no exception.

Inshou Palace.

The number of times I entered the palace was very rare, the most recent time was the winter solstice New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, the porcelain doll-like pink carved face with two braids, the adults who saw the children praised their good looks, the girl was a long time to shake her head, shaking the two pinches of black hair, laughing at herself, not recognizing life at all.

The palace people like to tease her, but the old lady doesn't dare to show it.

But happy to be happy, laughing and laughing, it is not easy to hug this county lord, except for the Queen Mother and Wen Wanrong, no one in the entire harem is allowed to touch it, and he cries when he hugs him, screaming at the top of his throat.

From the grandmother to the palace maid, they all understand the temperament of the princess, even if they see Princess Wanyi holding the child and sweating tiredly, no one dares to reach out and take it.

"Sasa, shall we go to the main hall?" Wen Wanrong really couldn't hold it, patted the child's back, and discussed softly.

"Don't." Sasa hugged her neck tightly, rubbed her head at the base of her ear, and said with a milky air, "I like my mother the most, hug." ”

If you go against her will at this time, you have to let her go down and walk, and the result will be the same as forcibly hugging, and I can't wait to cry so much that half of Renshou Palace can hear it.

The palace maid who led the way was a little unbearable to see Wen Wanrong's sweat dripping from her ears and temples and hair, and she couldn't help much, so she proposed to go to the side hall to sit and take a breath, and it was not too late to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.

Wen Wanrong was angry in the morning and didn't go back to sleep, and her spirit was not as good as usual when she arrived at this point, and she was tired after walking all the way, she hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"I'll go and say hello to the imperial grandmother when I take a break, you don't have to pass it on."

The palace maid who led the way understood and nodded: "Don't worry, princess, the slave maid has prepared refreshments, which are seasonal cakes, please try the county lord." ”

Renshou Palace attaches great importance to their mother and daughter, and Wen Wanrong's heart has warmed up somewhat, and the relatives of the emperor and the country are not all deceitful.

As for Sasa, as long as there is something delicious, she grabbed the cake mouth bar with one hand and ate it endlessly, looking around with big round eyes, curious and fresh.

Wen Wanrong lowered her head and asked her to eat slowly, Sassy raised her head and smiled sweetly at her, regardless of grabbing a piece from the snack box and stuffing it into her mouth, and giving it to her mother.

The palace maid saw that the county lord knew how to feel distressed.

Only Wen Wanrong couldn't cry or laugh, where did Sassa know how to feel distressed, she was spoiled, what she wanted to do, she was happy to give the cake at one moment, and she turned her face at any time if she was unhappy the next moment, which was the norm.

This temperament is very similar to Qin Yang, Wen Wanrong sighed secretly, touched her sassy head, and changed the topic without showing a trace: "Qi Hong smells very fragrant today, isn't it the same batch as the one who will drink on the winter solstice?" ”

The palace maid nodded and smiled: "Back to the princess, what you are drinking now is the tribute sent by the lady concubine when you were old, and the queen mother's tea is good, so I specially left a can for you." ”

The Queen Mother was really good to her, Wen Wanrong lowered her head and smiled: "Thank you aunt for reminding me, I will thank the imperial grandmother when I see her." ”

The palace maid waved her hand again and again, and Fu Li said: "The princess is serious, the slave and maid are too talkative, you must not hear it from the slave and maid in front of the grandmother for a while, otherwise the grandmother will blame again." ”

The old lady of Renshou Palace is notoriously strict, and Wen Wanrong knows it and wants the other party not to worry.

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, although this Princess Wanyi grew up outside the palace, she was gentle by nature, low-key, and had no quarrel with her, and the palace people were willing to say a few more words to her.

"Princess, you can listen, the day of the concubine concubine of Hehuan Yuan has been set, and the edict has been sent to the main courtyard of the great sect, and it is estimated that it will be this month." When I had nothing to do, the palace maid was by my side, thinking of something to mention.

"Really? It's the first time I've heard it. Wen Wanrong lowered her head and touched her sassy face, as if she had no intention of responding, but her heart was full of waves.

Regarding the matter of Peony's concubine, the Queen Mother mentioned to her before the winter solstice that Peony was not from a good background at that time, and she would not stay with her biological mother if she had children in the future.

It sounded like agreeing with the emperor's thoughts, and after thinking about it carefully, the queen mother was not satisfied with Concubine Lan in her heart, let alone the qualifications of the concubine.

Wen Wanrong thought that this matter would be stopped, but she didn't expect that the imperial uncle insisted on going his own way and insisted on sealing Peony as a concubine, no wonder Concubine Qi Shu sent a tribute to Qi Hong when she was young, presumably Jingyang Palace also got the exact news.

Thinking about it further, since the last time Brother Ying entered the palace, the peony was beaten, and even the queen mother saw the clues, and in the harem, they thought that Concubine Lan would enter the cold palace, but there were rumors about the concubine a year ago, and most people thought that because they were favored, the emperor didn't care, but in Wen Wanrong's view, it was definitely not a blessing.

On the surface, Peony is helpless in the harem and does not have any court power, and the emperor spoils her with this, or she may become the target of the harem because of her favor, and the emperor pushes the boat to execute her.

In this way, not only can he kill people by the hands of others, but he can also maintain the good reputation of Mingjun and virtue.

It's just that Peony died like this, will Qin Yu give up?

Wen Wanrong faintly felt bad, and just two days later, Song Zhi suddenly came to visit the mansion.

Song Xujiu and Qin Yang were locked in the study, and no one heard what was going on outside the house, but after Song Zhi left, Qin Yang returned to his yard with a bad face, and when she entered the house, Wen Wanrong was reading in the inner room, and she ignored the movement of opening and closing the door.

The first two Qin Yang took Ying Ge'er to the Privy Council to play, and when they came back, the husband and wife didn't have a word.

Wen Wanrong didn't let her touch it, and Qin Yang simply moved to the Westinghouse to sleep, and each did its own thing without disturbing each other.

"Wen Wanrong!" Breaking the wilderness, Qin Yang took the initiative to find someone in the East House.

Wen Wanrong glanced at him, didn't respond, and returned her gaze to the book.

Qin Yang wore a coat and said in a rough voice: "I want to go out and leave the lights at night." ”

After speaking, he turned to leave.

The door opened and closed again, Wen Wanrong frowned, and she was in no mood to read.

Qin Yang went out, didn't know the specific place, Bacheng went to Fan Lane, he knew that she was the most annoying place, he used to pretend to coax, but this time he didn't bother to coax, and deliberately left after talking.

Wen Wanrong was angry when she thought about it.

She didn't leave the light at night, went to bed early after freshening up, and lay in the quiet and dark side bed to think about how to help Peony, but she fell asleep after thinking about it.

She didn't know how long she slept, she felt a chill on her body in a daze, and when she subconsciously pulled the quilt, she accidentally touched a big hand, and she was frightened.

"What are you doing!" Wen Wanrong came to her senses, got up and blocked her with the quilt, groping in the dark for the dirty clothes that had been taken off.

However, he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, so he was vigorously pressed.

Familiar movements swept all over her body, and Wen Wanrong knew who was coming with her eyes closed.

"Qin Yang, do you have any shame?" She stopped struggling, lowered her voice and gritted her teeth.

Qin Yang did what he wanted to do in a muffled voice, rude and even a little savage, and did not give the other party any chance to break free.

Wen Wanrong hadn't been semi-forced to have sex for a long time, until the end, and her two wrists were clamped together.

There was a faint fragrance of fat powder on the side of the bed, which seemed to emanate from Qin Yang's clothes.

"Get out."

Hearing the person on her body panting, Wen Wanrong squeezed out a word from between her teeth.

"Wen Wanrong, you do it again." I couldn't see my expression, and my tone was full of anger.

In the past, Wen Wanrong would definitely repeat the rolling words, but now she suddenly didn't want to, and she didn't want to fight, she was silent for a long time, her voice slowed down, and she asked, "How many hold you back, are you satisfied tonight?" ”

Qin Yang thought that she would be on the bar, but in the face of the sudden silence, he was stunned, quickly touched her clothes and put them on the pillow, and covered the quilt for her.

Wen Wanrong shrank in the quilt, with her back to him, for a long time: "It's not early, go to sleep, you still have to go to court early." ”

Qin Yang sat beside him and didn't leave for a long time, and after a while, he spoke: "Wen Wanrong, I always thought you were very generous, but I didn't expect to agree on the surface, and you are so narrow-minded." ”

Wen Wanrong understood: "Are you the eldest son of Brother Liying?" ”

Qin Yang asked rhetorically: "Isn't it?" ”

Wen Wanrong suddenly felt funny: "You have established the capital, and the genealogy has also been added, even if I have any ideas, shouldn't I?" ”

Qin Yang was puzzled: "Why didn't you mention it when you had an idea, when I was with you, you promised to be happy, the wood was already in the boat, and you regretted it with me?" ”

"What do I have to regret." Wen Wanrong sneered, "Qin Yu's son is the blood of the Qin family, isn't my son the blood of the Qin family?" Qin Yu's son takes over your mantle, I ask you, whose mantle does your son take? ”

Qin Yang didn't expect Wen Wanrong to be angry for so long, and hurriedly explained: "Don't count the anger, Brother Zai Ying is the eldest son, you also treat him as your own son, I don't exaggerate to teach him, we will naturally treat our sons equally in the future." ”

Seeing that Wen Wanrong was silent, he said: "I know, I really wronged you in some things, you pay for the Qin family, grandmother and I both see it, grandmother will never let you have half a grievance in the future." ”

The words are nice and the attitude is sincere enough.

But according to Qin Yang's temper that never admits mistakes, and can take the initiative to soften, Wen Wanrong thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Fang is what you are talking about, or do you have something else that you need me to find the queen mother?" ”

Qin Yang sometimes thinks that it is not a good thing for women to be too smart, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Half and half." ”

Wen Wanrong's heart was cold, and she said calmly: "You, what do you want me to do?" Or tell me what to go to Renshou Palace tomorrow? ”

Some of the words are dissected, and they sound more like a deal.

"Wen Wanrong, you are indeed wronged, I have always known it." Qin Yang clenched his white and tender hand, and his tone slowed down, "It's not a fool to go to Fan Lane tonight, Qin Yu indicated that he wants to see me, Peony may be in danger in the harem, the harem is full of female dependents, in case it is exposed, ......"

Wen Wanrong continued: "So I need someone to shelter." ”

"Yes."

"Okay."

Faced with the unhesitating response, Qin Yang was surprised and delighted, tightened the other party's hand, and confirmed: "You agreed?" ”

Wen Wanrong withdrew her hand silently, and hummed indifferently, "I'll do my best." ”

"Did it hurt you just now?" Qin Yang thought about it, he was a little excessive, and changed his tricks to coax people, "Hey, fragrant sheep, how long has it been, why hasn't your stomach moved?" ”

Wen Wanrong didn't say anything more, her head was stuffed on the edge of the quilt, and she seemed to be asleep.

Qin Yang guessed that she was not lightly angry, so she gently hugged the person over, patted her back lightly in her arms, and wanted to do something, but seeing that Wen Wanrong did not react for a long time, she sighed heavily.

Separated into Inshou Palace.

As soon as Wen Wanrong stepped into the main hall, she heard laughter and laughter coming from inside, she deliberately slowed down, and the old lady who greeted the door told her that Concubine Qi and Concubine Lan were here.

It's a rare thing for these two people to sit together.

Wen Wanrong nodded her head in comprehension and followed Mama Fish inside.

"Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Sassy County Lord, Cao Cao Cao arrived." It was Concubine Qi who got up first to greet her.

Wen Wanrong bowed one by one according to the court etiquette, sat on the empty seat on the right hand side of the Queen Mother, covered up last night's unhappiness, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see Renshou Palace as lively as it is today." ”

Peony replied with a smile: "Being able to sit with the Queen Mother and be considerate of yourself is the blessing of the concubine." ”

Concubine Qi Shu echoed and smiled: "The concubine is afraid of provoking the peace of the Queen Mother." ”

Regardless of whether it is true or not, true harmony or false harmony, the current harmony makes the Queen Mother quite satisfied, and said to Wen Wanrong: "You came just in time, the emperor proposed that this year's Zhonghe Festival be more lively, and the mourning family couldn't think of a clue, so they called the concubine and the concubine to come up with ideas, and the two of them suggested that they go to the imperial garden to invite more courtiers and guests." ”

Wen Wanrong knew that the queen mother wanted to hear her thoughts, but the affairs of the harem have always been in charge of the queen, and now that the queen is vacant, it is normal to call the two concubines with the highest concubines to discuss the matter. ”

Since they all thought so, the Queen Mother handed over the arrangement of the Zhonghe Festival to Concubine Qi and Peony to deal with it all.

I thought that Concubine Qi Shu would be dissatisfied or monopolize power, but she didn't expect her to stand up and say to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, there is something that the concubine asks for instructions in advance." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her: "What's the matter with you." ”

The corners of Concubine Qi Shu's mouth flashed a soft smile: "In previous years, during the Mid-Peace Festival, the emperor was determined to drink Yichun wine, I am afraid that this year's concubines will not be able to serve, and Concubine Lan will have to worry a lot." ”

Peony immediately got up and responded: "Don't worry, the concubine is duty-bound." ”

The Queen Mother listened strangely and asked Concubine Qi Shu: "Is she unwell?" ”

Concubine Qi Shu smiled shyly, looked down at her flat belly, and said vaguely: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor will tell the concubines not to get drunk." ”

For a while, everyone understood, and Concubine Qi Shu was happy.

The Queen Mother was naturally happy, and asked Mama to bring a cushion for her to lean on, and said with concern: "Why don't you find someone to spread the word about such a big thing, you should be born in Jingyang Palace to rest." ”

Concubine Qi Shu's smile became more and more coquettish, and she said coquettishly: "The concubine wants to tell the Queen Mother the good news in person." ”

"Good news, good news indeed." The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly sent someone to send Concubine Qi back to the palace first.

Before leaving, Wen Wanrong and Peony congratulated her, but they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

When leaving Renshou Palace, Peony made an excuse and walked all the way with Wen Wanrong.

"I heard from the people in Tai Hospital before, it is difficult for Concubine Qi Shu to get pregnant again, how can she ......" The two walked into the secluded corridor, and Peony spoke first.

It's not that Wen Wanrong hasn't heard of this, and she also wonders, but it is an indisputable fact that Concubine Qi is pregnant with a dragon heir, otherwise she would not dare to ask for credit in front of the Queen Mother.

"There will be no falsehood in this matter." Wen Wanrong hesitated for a moment and reminded softly, "It's just a coincidence, you haven't made a concubine yet, she has taken the opportunity to get pregnant, if you give birth to a baby boy, I'm afraid you won't have a good time in the palace." ”

Peony didn't understand, but she had a heart, and lowered her eyes and said, "I have no intention of competing for favor." ”

Wen Wanrong smiled indifferently: "It's not up to you to decide whether to fight or not." ”

Thinking about it, she mentioned Qin Yang's words last night: "Qin Yu wants me to protect you in the palace." ”

Peony pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but the joy in her eyes revealed her happy emotions.

Wen Wanrong poured a basin of cold water on her: "You are an understanding person, what you should think and what you shouldn't think about now, I advise you to do it." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left through another palace gate, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After returning home, when she had dinner with Qin Yang, Wen Wanrong described the events in the palace in detail today, and added at the end: "We will definitely receive an invitation for this year's Mid-Peace Festival, you must go." ”

Qin Yang knew, and asked the child if he was going?

Wen Wanrong shook her head: "I almost had a branch last time, this time Concubine Qi is pregnant and can't preside over the overall situation, Peony is a blessing in disguise, even if I don't, she won't let Brother Ying get into danger." ”

Qin Yang was afraid that Wen Wanrong would think too much, so he hurriedly added: "It's better not to go." ”

When it comes to sass, Wen Wanrong doesn't take the stubble, picks up the bowl and eats quietly.

Qin Yang had no face and no skin, knowing that she was angry, she found herself under the stairs: "The husband and wife have no overnight feud, why don't I move back to sleep tonight, and you can dispose of it?" ”

Wen Wanrong glanced at him coldly, and lost her words casually.

"If you don't say anything, you should acquiesce." Qin Yang continued to be cheeky, and after eating, he took the quilt and pillow from the West House back to the East House.

Wen Wanrong didn't see it when she saw it, and continued to look down at her book, tossing as Qin Yang wanted.

At night, as always, he patted the bed cheekily and told Wen Wanrong to go to bed quickly.

After the lights went out, he touched the bed and said cheaply: "Hey, I won't touch you, it's always okay to sleep with your arms." ”

Take the initiative to embrace people.

Wen Wanrong didn't resist, nor did she struggle, she just turned her back to Qin Yang, facing inward.

Qin Yang posted it up and continued to coax: "You're angry a lot, aren't you uncomfortable?" I really don't know what I'm wrong this time, do you think I'm biased towards Qin Ying? Then I'm so wronged. ”

Wen Wanrong patted his hand, signaled to go down, and said lightly: "I don't have your partiality, you don't have to be wronged and tolerate me, next time you have a straight talk, don't slap a date, then I quarrel with you, how can you ask me to do things for you?" ”

Speaking of this, Qin Yang was a little helpless: "Wen Wanrong, be straightforward, I know what kind of character you have, as long as I open my mouth, you will definitely do it." Besides, I'm in a bad mood and have a bad attitude towards you, I admit this, but it's not the same thing as looking for you to do something, don't mix it up. ”

After a pause, he asked her, "Do you think I need to survive on women?" ”

Wen Wanrong replied mercilessly: "You don't need it, but now, right now, you have to look for me." ”

Qin Yang's voice cooled down: "You don't want to, I'm not reluctant, I'm not without other ways." ”

Wen Wanrong pierced sentence by sentence: "I believe you have other ways, but no way is as safe as my walking harem, after all, I am your pillow person, the most trustworthy compared to others, and I have the identity of a princess, and I have the preference of the Queen Mother, you must think that even if I make Long Yan unhappy, the Queen Mother will not die without help." ”

The words came to Qin Yang's heart.

He frowned and defended himself: "Wen Wanrong, I didn't push you into the fire pit, it's still the same sentence, you don't want to, I'm not reluctant, weighing is one thing, but I didn't have the bag to throw the entire Qin family to a woman to protect it." ”

"Really?" Wen Wanrong's voice was astringent, and she said slowly, "I thought that I could get a good sentence after paying so much, even if it was a word thank you, but I didn't expect that you were a capable person, and you didn't need me at all." Okay, since I pay, I can't help but ask for something in return, tomorrow or later, you go to your grandmother and withdraw the matter of Ying Ge'er establishing a successor on the family tree, when will I give birth to a son, when will I establish a successor, otherwise ......"

"How else?"

"Otherwise, I won't mention anything in front of the Queen Mother, and it has nothing to do with me whether the peony lives or dies." Wen Wanrong paused word by word, and said clearly, "From Ming'er onwards, I am also selfish only for myself, even if the Qin family is destroyed, I have a way to protect myself and my life." ”
