In the Lixiang Courtyard, Xiao Xie's face was full of gloom, and he slept very unsteadily, tossing and turning for two moments, but he still turned over and leaned on a chaise longue in the corridor to enjoy the cool.

The housekeeper beside her, Mama Shan, came over, and when she saw Xiao Xie's unhappy expression, she shook the fan flatteringly: "Why doesn't Madame go to rest today?" ”

Shan is Xiao Xie's dowry maid, and now he helps Xiao Xie manage all the things in the back house, and is not responsible for following up, and he didn't go to Rongxi Hall today, and he didn't know that Xiao Xie had suffered a small loss, and Xiao Xie didn't mention it, but just asked: "What is the way you want to think?" How can that medicine make our princess take it without any scruples? ”

Shan glanced around cautiously, and saw that the nearest maid was dozens of steps away, so he lowered his voice and said: "Rib is Mama Xie's daughter, and she is good friends with Miss Jiang, but Miss Jiang's mind is not obvious for a while, and it is too risky to use her." ”

Xiao Xie glanced at Shan: "Isn't this nonsense, the ribbed line can't be used at the moment." ”

"So, I had to go through the old princess."

Xiao Xie sighed slightly: "This is a way, today I see that the Su family is trying to please my aunt, but it is impressive, this girl is not as pampered as I thought, and I know that marrying someone is not as good as in the boudoir, although she does not have a serious mother-in-law, my second aunt can't lower her, in the end, the old princess is still the master mother of our palace, it is better to be enveloped than to be guilty." ”

Shan Shi said again: "But but, Madame also has to be cautious, if this is really out of your hand, by the prince to find out something, but a handle, according to the slave maid, there is also a middle aisle, although Zhu has some scruples, but her person is overly cautious, and her heart is not all towards Madame, if this time through her, it can be regarded as a handle, and I am not afraid that she will not obey orders in the future." ”

The Zhu family mentioned by Shan is the Zhu Mama next to the old princess.

Xiao Xie's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, the unhappiness on his face finally dissipated a little: "You still think about it...... How's your kid doing in business? ”

Shan Shi smiled: "Thanks to Mrs. Niang's support, it turned out to be a small business, and the income was just a Wen Bao, but with Mrs. to take care of it, I have recently had an income of twenty or thirty taels a month." ”

"This is worth the monthly salary of a fourth-grade official." The implication is that you have to be grateful.

Shan's heart collapsed: Madam, do the four-grade officials of the emotional four grades rely on the monthly salary to support their families? If this is the case, everyone has sharpened their heads to become officials, and they can all be in business.

Of course, his face was full of humility: "Madame is the food and clothing parents of the slave and maid's family, and the slave and maid remember the kindness of the lady, don't say anything about the officials' monthly salary, this slave person, wherever he dares to have his own livelihood, it is the lady's kindness." ”

Xiao Xie smiled lightly, you know it's good.

As he was talking, he saw Yu Dong striding over from the hall with his hands behind his back, and Xiao Xie hurriedly stepped forward: "The second master is back, isn't he going to the teahouse?" ”

Yu Dong sighed, glanced at the Shan family who was bent on his knees and asked for peace, went straight into the inner hall, lifted the curtain of the second room, and saw a few maids cleaning up the house, dropped a "go out", sat on the kang, put an arm on a few cases, and his face was cloudy.

Xiao Xie came in on his heels, hung the curtain, pushed the window, and made sure that there would be no ears for the partition wall, and then asked, "See Huang Er?" ”

Originally, it was still an old year, since Yu Feng completed the case of merging with the state beautifully, and returned from Xiangzhou, it was rumored that he was going to enter the cabinet, Yu Dong called a depressed pawn in his heart, and finally made up his mind, and saw Huang Er to express his "sincerity", but he didn't know who the "master" in Huang Er's mouth was, until yesterday, he got Huang Er's tone, and this morning he went to a secret place several times before he saw the third prince.

After some conversation, Yu Dong didn't hesitate in his heart, but he still didn't know how the third prince wanted him to act, he was the commander of the Xishan Guard, and he was in charge of more than a thousand big-headed soldiers, many of which were still the old departments of the Weiguo Mansion, how could he help the three princes bring down the prince? Thinking about it all the way back, the more I don't understand the point.

At this time, when he heard Xiao Xie's inquiry, he also gave a sigh of gratitude, and did not elaborate.

Seeing that Yu Dong had no intention of elaborating, Xiao Xie pursed the corners of his lips, and then told him about today's incident in Rongxi Hall, and couldn't help but be resentful: "Jing Yatou's mind is really a little clever, and being forced by her like this, I can't go to my aunt every day to save in the morning." ”

"In the woman's opinion, what is this matter, it is nothing more than a little sleep." Yu Dong's face was full of impatience: "With your means, Yu Feng can remind Jing Yatou to say hello, it's really a superfluous move." ”

Xiao Xie was full of disbelief: "Whether this thing is successful or not, it is not harmful to us, I said that it was originally a 'good intention', who let my aunt and her old man listen crookedly." ”

Yu Dong sighed: "I always thought that Yu Feng was sick and weak, even if he was trusted by the saint, it was nothing more than for the sake of his father's affection, how did he know that he was reminded today, only to know that he has been in Taoguang all these years, and he has some means, because he has expected our plan, I said that Zhou'er used to be as good as Jing Yatou, why did my aunt and grandmother reject you bluntly, and the saint suddenly gave Yu Feng a marriage finger, think about it, it must be that kid who said bad things about us in front of the saint and his aunt and grandmother." ”

Xiao Xie was shocked: "Then the saint believes it?" ”

Yu Dong snorted heavily: "What if you believe it?" After so many years, and there is no evidence, and those who knew about it back then have all become dead people, I still have the blood of my father and the king in my body, and I am the grandson of my ancestors, can I be punished only by speculation and suspicion? But it's just that since the saint is on guard, even if Yu Feng is dead, Zhou'er may not be able to inherit the throne. ”

Xiao Xie disagreed: "Unless the title of King of Chu is gone, what else can I do?" ”

"Your brain ......" Yu Dong's eyes widened: "Can't the eldest brother marry again?" ”

"I haven't been married for so many years...... Isn't he unable to give up his love for the princess? ”

"That's because Yu Feng is still there, I was reminded like this today, so I recalled that the eldest brother and son had already suspected us, not just a simple vigilance, as soon as Yu Feng died, even if we did things seamlessly, can the eldest brother mind in his heart? Will you still let Zhou'er attack the lord? is the eldest brother's affection, and if he has no intention of remarrying, is there only one child in the clan? As long as the Holy One acquiesces to it, which one can't succeed? ”

Xiao Xie was completely stunned: "That ......"

"Only when there is a change of people above the throne will we have a chance."

Xiao Xie gasped: "The second master is trying to rebel?" ”

Yu Dong almost didn't get angry: "These two words are also muddy?" I mean, we're going to have to work on the heir to the throne. ”

Xiao Xie pursed the corners of his mouth: "I am a woman, where do I know this, the second master wants to entrap the prince?" ”

Yu Dong didn't say much and fell silent.

Xiao Xie asked again: "Then ...... the plan we are planning?"

"You have to be more careful, in short, you can't fall into the handle, if you can really borrow someone else's hand, even if you can't attack the lord right now, it can be regarded as a sigh of grievance for A-Niang for many years, if Yu Feng dies, then the old woman and brother are still in pain? It's hateful that the Liang slut died early. Yu Dong's eyebrows were extremely angry.

Liang is the mother of the old princess, if she hadn't found her back to testify, Xie Yunqing's biological mother Qi would not have been divorced, Xie Yunqing with the identity of a concubine, of course, could naturally marry the king of Xianchu as a concubine.

"The first step is to prevent Jing Yatou from having a body so quickly, and to inherit the Yu Feng ancestry." Xiao Xie shook his head heavily: "The medicine given by the second master is still safe?" ”

"Ordinary people can't detect it, but they have to be careful, Yu Feng has so many suspicious ......"

"Second master, don't worry, I already have a way." Xiao Xie said what Shan had just said.

"That's fine, Yu Feng doesn't fortify his grandmother, maybe he will let us get his hands on it, even if he goes to investigate, it is difficult to detect, although Jiang Qinggu has some knowledge of poison, but this is a woman's medicine, he may not understand, even if he really finds out that something is wrong, there is also a Zhu family guilt, there is no evidence, how can she prove that the medicine was given by you, but she can accuse her of being in the middle and having bad intentions." Yu Dong smiled coldly.

The next day, when Yijing "returned to the door", Xiao Xie finished saving in the morning, and sure enough, he took Zhu Mama to speak, invited people to Lixiangyuan, retired the maid, and took out the bag of medicine, claiming that it was just a tonic, but told Zhu Mama not to say where she came from, but to find a suitable time to hand it over to the old princess.

"This medicine is the secret recipe of the previous dynasty, not compared to those ordinary medical practitioners, once the bride takes it, she will not worry about holding the two for three years, Mama is an understanding person, and she will naturally have a set of rhetoric to persuade the old princess." Xiao Xie's face was full of pride.

Zhu Mama secretly complained - Xiao Xie's words are naturally innumerable, if this medicine is really good, why didn't she hand it over to the old princess herself, and she had to give it to her own hands? and specially instructed that she could not be confessed...... There must be a problem, this thing is not as good as saying two bad words that are not painful, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your life!

But Mama Zhu also has her own hardships, and on the surface, she doesn't dare to disobey Xiao Xie's family.

I went back and thought about it, and then I came up with a compromise.

Let's not talk about it for the time being, and let's talk about it in the Guogong Mansion.

Because Yijing is married to the clan, the return to the door is naturally solemn, not as good as going out of the corner gate, the Guogong Mansion opened the main door today, and the slaves and maids in the outer courtyard are all kneeling in the door to greet him, Wei Guogong personally greeted him, but he wanted to meet his daughter and son-in-law, Yu Feng of course held his father-in-law, and said a few words, so he went to the front hall with Wei Guogong to drink tea and gossip with a few brothers-in-law.

Today, Yichen, Erniang, and Siniang's married daughters also returned to their parents' homes "with their sons-in-law", and the Guogong Mansion was very lively.

Yijing and Yu Feng said goodbye temporarily, walked the main road in the front yard, and entered the back house.

Huang, together with the Li family and the Xu family, led the two daughters-in-law and the three daughters who were still waiting in the boudoir to wait in the weeping flower gate, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and maids in the inner house also gathered together to kneel and welcome.

Hearing the Huang family call "the princess", Yijing hurriedly said: "Mother doesn't need to be formal, let's call it like before." ”

Huang's face was full of love: "Etiquette cannot be wasted. ”

Li ignored these, held up his slightly bulging lower abdomen, and stepped forward to pull Yijing to Yuanyingtang: "Grandmother has been looking forward to it for a long time, Jing'er go in quickly, your eldest sister, second sister, and fourth sister are also back." ”

The daughter who gets married is also considered a "guest" when she returns to her parents' home, and she does not need to wait to greet her.

Yuanyingtang is very lively today, the eldest princess is refreshed and happy when she sees the beautiful scenery, knowing that she has a comfortable three days of marriage, and she doesn't ask much, so she has a few sisters chatting.

At noon, Yu Feng, accompanied by Wei Guogong, came to Yuanying Hall with King Fu, Zhou Lang, and Yao Lang to greet the eldest princess.

The aristocratic homecoming banquet is generally set up separately for men and women, and the son-in-law and other male guests have to go to the front yard, but the eldest princess does not follow this customary etiquette, saying that the family reunion is festive, but it is better to learn from those ordinary people and gather together to be lively.

The luncheon was set up in the water pavilion by the mirror pool, with a total of three seats, a table for Wei Guogong and his son and son-in-law, a table for the eldest princess and Huang's daughter-in-law, and a table for several sisters to sit at a table lively.

After the meal, the sisters went to the garden to chat, and Yijing took the time to pull Siniang aside, only to ask the bewitching maid who had been found early in the morning: "Why is it a raw face?" ”

Siniang sighed: "My grandmother insisted on sending it in, saying that my mother was pregnant, and instead of letting the maids in the house get cheap, it was better to use the people of my mother's family." ”

Since the incident with Aunt Mei, Su Ke and Li's husband and wife have reconciled, and their lives are very sweet with the newlyweds of the past, but they don't want Grandma Li to worry about the sky, so they actually start tossing again.

"My grandmother's heart is not right, but my mother still cares about her, this maid is not like the Chen family, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future." Siniang is not without worries.

was talking, but saw Erniang coming over with a gloomy face.

It turned out to be the day of the welcome ceremony, Yijing saw that Erniang was holding back the fire, the day was special, and she was not easy to ask, but now at a glance, Erniang's face was even more lightning and thunder, and from time to time she glared at someone at Wei Guogong's table - of course, it was her husband-in-law Zhou's brother-in-law.

Yijing suspected that the little couple must have had a conflict.

As soon as Zi Erniang came over, she said to Siniang: "How is the fox next to the fourth sister?" ”

Yijing was shocked and suspicious, Siniang only got married in April, how could she have a fox!

Siniang's face was full of embarrassment, and she was silent for a while before she explained to Yijing: "It's a family ugliness that can't be publicized, and we really shouldn't say bad things about our elders, but grandmother she ...... This time, I not only gave one to my mother, but also persuaded my mother to stuff one for me and my second sister. ”

View: ......

Erniang's eyes were red with anger, she was disgusted with Grandma Li, and even heard Grandma Li say that Grandma Li once wanted to match her to marry a businessman, and she didn't want to see her grandmother, but she didn't want Grandma Li to listen to Grandma Li's words, so she persuaded the two of them to bring the two beautiful maids back to her husband's house to prepare for the room.

Siniang was about to speak, and a smoky girl came outside the pavilion, wasn't it the one next to Ritchie?
