At the beginning of twilight, the jackdaw returned to the nest, and after enjoying the plum scenery in Guan Sui Garden, after dinner, Concubine Shou drank a few hot Shaoxing old wine under the purging of the old princess, and before leaving, she was "forced" to accept two boxes of Lu'an melon slices that the princess warmly gifted.

Although this tea is also sold on the market, the price is very expensive, since the title of the princess, the family of the concubine Shou can no longer enjoy the tribute from all over the country, and it has not been able to drink high-quality tea for many years.

But the concubine is a clan after all, and she still has self-esteem, and she doesn't want to show her childishness.

"I know that the old lady loves me, and when I see that I love tea with the prince, I don't want to take the favor of others, and it is rewarded by the palace in the New Year, and I still keep a good one...... The old lady heard those gossips today, and hurried to remind me, I am grateful, otherwise when this rumor spreads, the palace will blame me, although I am innocent, I will inevitably be talked about, and it is a big deal to hurt the reputation of the heavenly family and the clan. Thanks to the concubine, I didn't know how to express my gratitude, thinking that the concubine's ancestral home was in Lu'an, so I should be used to drinking this tea...... It's a piece of my heart, and I hope the old lady will understand. ”

After a few words, Concubine Shou was very comforted in her heart, and did not feel a little embarrassed, so she accepted it, and saw that the two golden glazed eight horse cans used to hold tea in the brocade box were exquisitely made, obviously made by the Ouchi Imperial Palace, and felt more and more like, smiling constantly along the way, returning to the front of her own house in Xicheng Mansion, she was very generous and rewarded the housekeeper who was arranged by the Chu Wangfu to send her back to the house with the car, and was supported by her two little maids and happily changed the soft sedan chair back to the inner house.

After sitting for less than a moment, I heard that my grandchildren and daughters-in-law came to greet her, and Concubine Shou's joy faded a little, and she was a little uneasy.

The concubine had an impatient temperament in her early years, but she married a daughter-in-law with the same temperament, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law has always been like fire and water, and then the daughter-in-law and the son have walked in front, the two granddaughters-in-law entered the door, and did not want to be more than one as fierce as fire, and they have been running in for many years. There are two powerful granddaughters-in-law to discipline, the great-grandchildren will not be contaminated with the habit of swipe, and the family is peaceful, Concubine Shou regretted that she was too used to her son, even if he was lawless, if there was still a title at this time, the dignified clan would not be in the door, and her eldest great-grandson would not be so difficult in marriage.

After the concubine turned seventy, in fact, her temperament was greatly restrained, and she never had a dispute with her two granddaughters-in-law, and she let go of the trivial things in the family to the younger generations to deal with by themselves.

Sure enough, when the younger generations heard that Concubine Shou was being pouted by Xiao Xie today to "make trouble in the Chu Palace", they all blackened their faces.

The two grandsons were silent and sat upright.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law He couldn't help it first - she was the daughter of Yongjinghou, because of the early death of her biological mother, she was arrogant and indulged by her stepmother when she was in the boudoir, and her reputation was also known in the streets.

"Grandmother used to persuade us to stay away from those princes, saying that we couldn't be provoked, why did I make a mistake this time? Although we are not valued by the Heavenly Family, we are still a clan in the end, and we know more about the private affairs of the royal family than outsiders...... Grandmother also said in the past that the second master of the palace was not well-intentioned, the old princess was confused and couldn't understand the affairs, and handed over the inner house to the concubine and daughter-in-law to take care of, sooner or later there would be trouble, and then the prince of Chu married the Su family, you also sneered and said that the Chu Wangfu had no peace this time, which made people see endless jokes, Yu Zhou married Huang Qi Niang before, and there was an accident at the return ceremony, and the granddaughter-in-law also thought that Jiang was old and spicy, worthy of being a grandmother, and ate more salt than the rice we ate, and her vision was keen, so I knew that I would not be at home for half a day today, You were actually picked up by the Xie family to interfere in other people's family affairs, and you were involved in the circle. ”

Concubine Shou blushed, and did not reprimand He for being disrespectful.

When her son was first taken away, Concubine Shou was very dissatisfied with Gaozu's "ruthlessness", and she said "ruthless and unjust" to people in private, thinking that she and the old prince had suffered a lot in Chuzhou, and the surname Yu sat in the country, they should enjoy glory and wealth, and the son just forcibly occupied a people's daughter, which can be regarded as a sin? For this reason, Concubine Shou also collided with Empress Gaozu, not to mention a few princesses, even the current Queen Mother, who has eaten her hanging.

Later, Gaozu suddenly collapsed, and the four sons won the title, and a mutation was so sudden that it was a river of blood.

Concubine Shou watched the majestic British Duke Liu's family be ruined, and was wiped out, and the two sons born to Gaozu were also in different places, after this bloody storm, Concubine Shou really understood the "ruthlessness of the heavenly family", although the arrogant temperament is difficult to change for a while, but also understands that "there is a difference between monarchs and ministers" and "respect and inferiority", and no longer dare to have any disrespect for the heavenly family.

At this time, she sighed: "I have personally experienced Jiao Yue's rebellion, and I saw how the Liu family was majestic back then, and then the family was ruined, and even a descendant of the family passed on from generation to generation did not survive, and none of the dignitaries involved with them were left behind...... Knowing that the matter of this storage position cannot be contaminated, those princes and princes can avoid it...... But seeing that the door of the house is cold, Biao'er is now over forty, and Du'er is also in his thirties, and the two brothers are still idle at home, and they can't even get a loose step...... If you don't find some ways for Ji'er and their generation, life will be more and more difficult in the future, and there will be no name for a clan, and I am afraid that even those cold families will not be able to defeat them. ”

The concubine sighed like this, the two brothers Yu Biao and Yu Liu felt even more gloomy, the clan is all thanks to the grace of the heavenly family, even if the imperial examination is resumed, the children of the clan will not be able to participate, those poor scholars will rely on the cold window to study hard in the future, and there will be a day when the title of the gold list is extremely popular, and for the idle clan, if you are not a saint, you will only get a year's salary, and you will be frugal to live.

"As soon as the Xie family said that they wanted to find a commander for Ji'er, I was immediately moved, and I only thought that although this matter was related to the third prince, he was a man who was not afraid of damage to his reputation, and he was a nobleman, how could ordinary people dare to criticize it? Even if Concubine Su, she is the pearl of the eldest princess, her father Wei Guogong has to be trusted, and he is not afraid of a few gossips, I think that the Xie family is just looking for Concubine Su's bad luck and venting the evil spirit, I never thought that I could really cure Concubine Su's sin, it is nothing more than accompanying the Xie family to act in a scene to embarrass her, as long as I am not publicized, outsiders don't know, things won't make a big fuss, what's wrong with letting Ji'er have a future in vain? ”

He snorted secretly - the old lady thought as she wished, how could there be such an easy thing in this world, the Wang Mansion Xie family was a generous person, but the old lady was thinking about her son, and He didn't want to complain too much.

Concubine Shou was even more remorseful: "Thinking of Ji'er's future, I neglected that Xie is Chen Wulang's mother-in-law, and this matter actually involved the battle for the storage position, thanks to Concubine Su's reminder...... I just woke up to the fact that my greed almost caused a catastrophe, and I also broke out in a cold sweat. ”

The most fearful thing for the concubine is to be involved in the prince's seizure of power, and the bloody storm back then really frightened her.

Therefore, when Yijing mentioned this matter today, the fundamental purpose was to filth the three princes, and the saint would definitely investigate and investigate it, so she flinched.

"Don't worry, I'm not old and confused, I didn't make things difficult for Concubine Su on the spot, it was clearly said that the Xie family instigated rumors, Concubine Su is still a clever person, seeing that I changed my attitude, she didn't give up, and she has always been obedient and flattering to me...... I saw that she and Concubine Chu were both easy to talk to, so I couldn't hold back for a while...... "When Concubine Shou said this, seeing that her grandchildren and daughter-in-law, who had just eased their faces, became nervous again, and hurriedly waved their hands to let them calm down for a while: "I mentioned a few words of Ji'er, saying that he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he has not been contaminated with the habit of riding and shooting, but it is a pity that he was implicated in his grandfather's sins back then, and it is a pity to be idle at home...... Concubine Su agreed to mention it to Yuan Yang to see if she could find a spare experience for Ji'er in the sixth department. ”

These words made He Shi excited: "Did the princess really say that? ”

Concubine Shou shook her head again and again: "I'm old, and I'll use this to fool you, today I'm watching, although Su Yatou is young, but she is not a crazy person, that demeanor is incomparable to the Xie family, Concubine Chu really loves her as her own granddaughter, in the Chu Palace, she can count when she speaks, since she agreed, this matter should be seven or eighty percent accurate...... In two days, the two of you will go to the Chu Palace, and you will apologize for my indiscriminate accusation of Concubine Su today, prepare some courtesy, and then probe Concubine Su's tone. ”

Not to mention that the He family is happy to be in the face, even the second wife Tao has made a small calculation, her eldest son is only fifteen, if this time the Chu Wangfu is willing to help, it is best to be able to enter Jinwu or Yulinwei, but the Son of Heaven is a personal guard, and after a few years of tempering, he is not afraid that he will not be able to find a commander and captain in Jingwei, so he is expected to marry Xungui.

Immediately hurriedly came up with an idea: "The Chu Wangfu and the Weiguo Mansion are both the Son of Heaven's ministers, honored and illustrious, there is no shortage of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and we don't have any rare treasures in our hands, the granddaughter-in-law heard that the prince and his wife are elegant, and my dowry has two rare books from the former dynasty and a few famous calligraphy and paintings, so I let the eldest brother and sister-in-law take them, and let the prince and his wife understand our sincerity." ”

He naturally appreciated it, but Yu Biao still had consideration: "There is no discussion outside the matter of the execution of the concubine in the Three Princes' Mansion, if you want to say that this matter is just Xie Clan's nonsense, she is not so bold, I don't know who else is behind Xie Clan, the truth and the fake have nothing to do with us, but grandmother has been involved...... I'm afraid that when there are rumors outside, we can't get out of the relationship, if you want me to say, this matter has to be guarded against, you should inform King Kang, King Kang is the order of the Zongren, whether it is the three princes who bend the law or are framed by others should be determined by him to determine the right and wrong, if it is a rumor, the Zongren Mansion should naturally trace the source, in short, we can choose clearly, so as not to be jealous of the heavenly family and complain. ”

Concubine Shou's ancestors and grandchildren discussed and planned, and Yijing in Guan Sui Yuan was "admitting his mistake" in front of the prince: "Today's incident happened suddenly, and I was inevitably in a hurry. ”

Yu Feng had dinner alone today, and went to the study early to "work hard", but at this time he put down his pen and looked at Yijing with a smile: "Are you still in a hurry?" Because of this concern about Concubine Shou's family, it was speculated that they were taboo to be involved in the prince's struggle for the crown, so they first used the third prince to block the front to deter Concubine Shou, and by the way, pushed the second aunt into the pit she dug herself, and waited for the transcription to fill in the soil again, the princess was too modest. ”

"But I promised the concubine to find an errand for her great-grandson...... Although you have already planned first, but the saint has not mentioned the matter of the succession at the moment, so we naturally can't just say that the succession is too conspicuous, and it is recommended that the saint appoint two clan uncles. Yijing was still a little ashamed.

It turned out that since the last time she entered the palace, Yijing saw that the queen mother intended to be happy, and felt that Concubine Shou's family was difficult, and An Le was not easy to "handle", worried that An Le would come to the Chu Palace, in case of the holy decree of harmony, she didn't want to cry, and the matter couldn't be cleaned up, Yu Feng thought for a while, and also felt that the succession was too conspicuous.

Therefore, Yu Feng thought that it was better to admonish and persuade the Holy Lord to accept the post of Yu Biao's brothers, and let them enter the Jingwei to receive the rank of captain.

Even if the saint doesn't believe in Brother Yu Biao, but the chief of Jingwei is the Duke of Weiguo, and he is shocked, Brother Yu Biao is just an ornament, but in the eyes of others, the Heavenly Family also values their brothers.

Isn't it more natural than adopting?

In the future, the holy order will be happy and harmonious, and Concubine Shou can only receive gratitude for the sake of the future of her children and grandchildren.

In short, it has nothing to do with the Chu Palace, and An Ran will not be criticized.

However, at the moment, the Heavenly Family has not mentioned the matter of succession, and Yu Feng naturally can't take the initiative to admonish, exposing her aunt.

How did you know that Concubine Shou knocked on the door first.

In order to completely befriend Concubine Shou's family, Yijing reluctantly agreed to fight for Yu Ji's errand, and did not discuss with Yu Feng in advance, for fear of embarrassing him.

"It's not in the way, the children of the clan can't participate in the imperial examination, and some idle positions are not easy for Jinshi with real talent and real learning to serve, but it makes the students think that the imperial court doesn't pay attention to them, and the saint Shangyuan also intends to let some clans or noble children lead the idle affairs of Kyoto." Yu Feng didn't mind, and muttered for a while: "Second aunt's mind can't think of moving Concubine Shou to embarrass you, has the princess ever thought about who is planning behind the scenes?" ”
