"Madame is polite."

The corners of Yijing's lips smiled, her hands were firmly on her knees, her eyes looked at Mrs. Qin who was sitting at the bottom, and she reported that she only had these five words in her long humble words, just like the posture of the superior to the bottom, but it was still graceful and generous, without being arrogant and domineering, but this gesture made Mrs. Qin's heart mixed, and only she knew that unwillingness and resentment occupied a great weight.

But at this time, she could only maintain humility and affection, and there could be no disrespect in her attitude, so she had to confront each other with words: "Ziruo was in such a situation at that time, and the concubine was really sad, but in the end, I couldn't bear to see that she had nowhere to live. ”

Listening to the words of gratitude, but in the end, the word "etiquette" explains the problem, Mrs. Qin is unwilling to let her come to the door but is not received by the main master, and is led by a porter to meet with her daughter, Princess Chu obviously does not treat her as a court woman with a command, as if she is a relative of the slave in the house.

"Originally, when I returned to Beijing this time, I didn't want Ziruo to follow her, but she cried and begged to see her wife, I pity her because she was separated from her family because of a moment of obsession, so I promised Ziruo that she could see Mrs. at any time, and Mrs. did not need to have any anxiety, and she could see Ziruo in the future." Yi Jing seemed to not understand the meaning of Madame Qin's words, and it was almost clear that she would not be treated as a guest - you are a relative of the maid in my house, and it is also a favor to let you meet from time to time, and you want me to treat you as a distinguished guest? Mrs. Qin, you think too much.

Yi Jing glanced at her, and when she saw that Mrs. Qin's smile did not decrease, she also bent the corners of her lips - sure enough, the queen was not brought up by this person, if the queen had her mother's fifty percent cultivation, she would not have made so many jokes.

"The concubine visited today, in addition to meeting Ziruo, there is more important thing, which is to apologize for the queen's words and deeds yesterday...... This is just a mess of the mother's concern, and I ask the princess for forgiveness. Mrs. Qin suddenly became solemn, and her attitude became more humble: "The princess's words yesterday are not unreasonable, and the concubine is even more grateful. ”

It was for this...... Yi Jing only moved his fingertips to understand what the Qin family was worried about, it was nothing more than doing shameless things and caring about reputation, at the beginning, Qin Ziruo was "willing to be a concubine", Qin Xiang expelled the family, a "righteous and awe-inspiring" and "heartbroken" upright character, but at this time, the princess returned safely, but the queen immediately forced Yi Jing to give Ziruo a "name", if Yi Jing really pushed the boat down the river, and gave Qin Ziruo a face, first set her status such as a concubine in the room, but she had to go out - the queen had an order, The concubines did not dare to disobey.

In this way, the "archway" that the Qin family painstakingly built has undoubtedly become a joke, and even the Son of Heaven has to lose face with him.

Mrs. Qin is really worried, Princess Chu is no longer ashamed of the words and deeds of the Qin family, and she is not willing to take advantage of the reputation of her family's prince and add a fishbone to her throat.

However, there are other traps in Mrs. Qin's words, and of course Yijing has to be bypassed.

"Madame's words are serious, the queen mother is indeed because of her brotherly affection with her son, and she is anxious for a while, which is also human nature." The implication is that the words and deeds of the dignified queen should not be judged by a right lady, although the lady is not qualified to apologize to the queen, and I, the princess, cannot bear the word "forgiveness".

Concubine Su is really difficult to deal with, no wonder it is difficult for Lian Ziruo to take advantage of her hands, not to mention the queen's repeated setbacks, the anger in Mrs. Qin's heart rose again, and the smile on the corner of her lips trembled a little, as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that Yijing had already raised the lamp in her hand, knowing that this was the meaning of sending off guests.

When the corner gate was outside, Mrs. Qin finally couldn't help but slap her palm on the case, and her palm buckled the edge of the case tightly, and her face was blue.

In the past, although Mrs. Qin knew that the men in her family were planning to push King Qing to the throne, she never thought of being hostile to Princess Su, and she didn't regard people as opponents, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But yesterday, she heard the eldest daughter complain about Concubine Su's disdainful and contemptuous words, and today she also saw with her own eyes that Ziruo is a maid, of course, she can't help but feel resentful.

She was annoyed that her son was obsessed, and she resented the men of the Qin family for their unscrupulous means, and she even thought of how her grandmother opposed the marriage with the Qin family back then - the Qin family was the minister of Dongming, but she did things against the king, what to say for the common people and the people, it was nothing more than whitewashing face, mourning the emperor has no way, Dongming still has a clan, if the Qin family is loyal, why not set up the Dongming clan as the emperor, it can also play a role in appeasing the people and securing the government, the Qin family is nothing more than seeing that the Chuzhou army is approaching Kyoto, and he is really unwilling to give up his power, and his family is also a relative of the Dongming Emperor, To put it bluntly, he is afraid that the country will change hands and be liquidated by the new emperor, and the glory and wealth will not be guaranteed, so under the banner of serving the country and the people, he will take the first step to kill the monarch and surrender to sincerity! Such a family, disloyal and unjust, has been corroded at the root, and it is shameful for the famous family of the world!

What is ridiculous is that those men who regard "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" and "family prestige" as the supremacy, and those men who strictly require women with "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame" and "virtuous and chastity", once they touch power and wealth, they trample their virtue under their feet.

How could her father and grandfather listen to her grandmother's advice?

Grandmother is wise, and the Qin family has long been broken from the roots.

But how could she be alone at this time? She couldn't see her daughter being humiliated, so even if she knew that it was a shameless road, she could only step on it with her eyes closed.

The Qin family is her family, and the Su family and Princess Chu are her enemies.

What comforted Mrs. Qin a little was that her little daughter, who was humiliated and trampled by Concubine Su, was not angry or unwilling, she was unexpectedly calm and self-controlled, and her worries were soothed in one sentence - what her mother was worried about would not happen.

Qin Ziruo's plan is naturally not willing to live under the people, at that time, "willing to be a concubine" is a last resort, the reason why Qin Ziruo is willing to fight against the water is that there is no pressure from the main room of Concubine Su, she is very sober, if she really sits on the name of "concubine" now, it will undoubtedly be difficult to turn over, and she will carry the reputation of incorruptibility and shame for the rest of her life, and the family affairs are small, the important thing is that with the queen intervening and coercing, the king of Chu will also hold a grudge against her, and no longer dare to expect the love of her sweetheart.

Therefore, she would rather be humiliated, be a slave and a slave, and endure until the willows are bright.

The daughter's sobriety and calmness comforted Mrs. Qin, and then she comforted Ziruo in turn - your father and ancestor didn't really want to give up on you, they already have a countermeasure.

The Chen family came out, instigated the Ci'an Palace and the eldest princess to have a gap, and then made the two families have a feud.

"Without the Empress Dowager's protection, Concubine Su will inevitably be abandoned by the royal family."

After hearing this, Qin Ziruo was not overjoyed, and thought for a moment before saying: "Although this strategy is good, the Chen family and the Empress Dowager think that Ci'an Palace is too simple, just for one Chen Liulang, the Empress Dowager will never embarrass the eldest princess." ”

Sure enough, Mrs. Qin had just returned home after visiting Ziruo this day, and she listened to the eldest daughter complaining about the words coming out of the palace - today Mrs. Chen and the eldest princess went to Ci'an Palace one after another, Mrs. Chen looked unhappy, although the eldest princess was angry when she went, she was calm when she returned.

"Sure enough, it was said by your seventh sister." Mrs. Qin frowned deeply: "If Ziruo guesses, with the empress dowager's city government, it should be to persuade peace from the middle, Senator Chen is not arrogant, knowing what his son's situation is, he will not dare to coerce the eldest princess to marry his granddaughter, but if the Chen family compromises on this, the later plan will be even more difficult." ”

Hatred and suspicion between people do not breed in a vacuum, and seeds must be planted before they can be fertilized.

"Our Qin family can't sit idly by and watch this matter, but we can't come forward in person." Madam Qin muttered, "You can only give advice directly to the Holy Lord." ”

"It's not good for the saint to interfere in this kind of marriage." Aunt Qin was at a loss.

"The matter involves the supervision of the Empress Dowager, and the suppression of the Su family in the future, how can it only be related to the marriage of the children?" Mrs. Qin recounted Ziruo's words: "In order to envelop Senate Chen, the Empress Dowager will not refuse directly, and she should persuade the eldest princess, and this will give her an opportunity. ”

The more she went down, the more confident she was in Ziruo's strategy: "Ci'an Palace has the edict of the first emperor in its hands, why don't you make it public?" It shows that this person still has reservations, and is reluctant to have a gap with the saint, and will always think about the saint first in case of trouble, there will be a loophole to exploit, I will go to see your father, and I must seize the opportunity. ”

——

In the Qianming Palace, the Son of Heaven frowned and sat down, and the golden dragon rising from the clouds on the Ming yellow brocade robe seemed to be infected with a little bit of anger, at least in the eyes of Chen Sanye, who was the chief of the Wupin Temple of Dali Temple when his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the dragon claws were sharp and fierce, and they were about to rush to the face.

The sound of "snap" was a slap of the Son of Heaven in his hand, followed by a sneer.

"If the Empress Dowager doesn't change her mind, it won't be easy to do things later?" He repeated Chen Sicheng's words, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of ridicule: "Such a trivial matter, do you still expect me to make a decision?" ”

Chen Sicheng's kneecaps trembled, and his waist fell a little lower, but he really couldn't tell - my saint, my god, the empress dowager was unwilling to persecute the eldest princess, and even the empress dowager couldn't think of a countermeasure, and Weichen was really powerless.

At this moment, Qin Youcheng asked to see-

This mother Ding Wei has just recovered, but Qin Huaiyu still has no idea of "being old and strong", and he is reinstated to his old position with Qin Youcheng, and he has not been able to go further.

The Son of Heaven originally looked uncertain, but after hearing Qin Youcheng's words, his eyebrows finally calmed down, and the sound of his fingers knocking on the imperial case also seemed relaxed and pleasant, and there was no intention of forcing him.

"Whose idea was this?"

"It's a little girl."

The Son of Heaven bowed his head: "Sure enough, it's the seventh sister." ”

When Qin Youcheng heard this, his heart trembled with joy, and he saw that Chen Sanye, who had seen it with a cold sweat, seemed to be unwilling, and secretly replied with a smug look.

"Qi Niang also said that Su Liuniang also has some wisdom, if she is aggrieved and marries into the Chen family, and there is the Duchess of the country, what plans Senator Chen and Ci'an Palace have in the future should not be hidden from her, which is another benefit."

The Son of Heaven chuckled: "Su Liuniang once had a verbal confrontation with the seventh sister, and she was slightly better than words, but in my opinion, the strategy and the city government really can't be compared with the seventh sister, but my eldest aunt is very much looking forward to this marriage, and I think I will value the Su family's six niangs in the future, and the seventh sister is right, this is really a dark move." After a slight pause at this point, he turned to Chen Sicheng with a cold face: "The third uncle also heard clearly, so naturally I don't have to worry about how to arrange it." ”

Although he was commensurate with his family, Chen Sicheng didn't feel flattered at all, and promised to come down, seeing that the Son of Heaven only waved his hand at him, which meant that he intended to stay with Qin Youcheng to talk deeply, and his heart became more and more unwilling, and as soon as he came out of Qianming Palace, his face was a haze.

At the same time, in the palace of King Xian, Qin Ziruo was extremely humble in front of the Rongxi Hall and showed his sincerity to Zhu Mama - after returning to Beijing for a few days, he had not yet had time to say hello to the old princess, and he was uneasy in his heart, hoping to allow her to enter and kowtow to say hello.

Yi Jing was talking to the old princess, and after hearing this, the old princess was impatient to let Zhu Mama send her directly, but Yi Jing took her arm and whispered a few words.

"Whatever she says, grandmother just needs to listen, thinking that Mrs. Qin has something to say first, Ziruo should be able to follow the rules during this time."

The old princess agreed without hesitation: "If Jing'er mentions it, I know how to deal with these demons and monsters, if the girl of the Qin family wants to serve me, let her serve." ”

Therefore, if Qin Zi was allowed to enter the Rongxi Hall, his heart sank when he saw Yijing present, but he did not hesitate too much, obediently and humbly knelt directly on the ground, and bowed.

Although she was spared, she was not allowed to sit, and the old princess let Miss Qin stand on the ground and make noise.

Ziruo expressed her willingness to serve in front of the old princess.

Peeking up from the corner of his eye, he saw that Yi Jinggang moved her lips, but the old princess promised: "Since Shan's girl got married, there is a shortage of female celebrities around me, and Jing'er has also praised Ziruo's needle chisel, isn't it a coincidence?" ”

Seeing that the beautiful scenery seemed to be unwilling, Qin Ziruo was overjoyed, and the old princess really had no heart and no city government, and she was very interested in her strategy of "taking the sword off the rails".

At this moment, another maid reported inside-An Hui returned to Ning, and the person had already entered the Weeping Flower Gate and was coming to Rongxi Hall.
