Although Concubine Qin was ignorant and had never been thorough, when she went home and cried in front of the elders, she did not confess her treacherous plans to slander the princess through the death of the Li family, nothing more than saying that although she had the responsibility of "the emperor is not strict", she had admitted her mistake, and the four princes sent her back to her parents' house without asking about it.

This is useless in front of my father and ancestors, but Mrs. Tai thinks so.

At this time, Concubine Qin waited for her grandmother to ask questions, and couldn't help crying, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and cried again.

Mrs. Qin also stood up and bowed deeply: "The concubine has words, and I hope the queen mother will be graceful." ”

"Madame speaks freely." Although the Queen Mother was upset by Concubine Qin's crying, her expression was still calm, and she gave the princess of the previous dynasty due respect, and did not accuse Concubine Qin in front of her that this was a forced argument, which was actually a shrew in the market.

The death of the Li family is by no means simple, but this concubine is a gift from the four princes, and the rumors are also from the four princes' mansion, the queen mother only disposes of two maids, and orders Xiao Xie and Huang Jiangyue to ban the words are already a matter of tranquility, and before they have figured out how to beat Concubine Qin, the four princes have already taken the first step, and they can be regarded as giving a convincing attitude, willing to calm down the matter, the queen mother thinks that letting Concubine Qin stay in her mother's house for a while to meditate on her own mistakes is also a warning, and she does not plan to condemn Concubine Qin again.

How do you know that Concubine Qin pushed the old lady Qin into the palace, and this time she was even more crying and spilling, what's the matter? Is it possible to force the royal family to apologize to her, punish the three princes, and return her innocence?

is stubborn and ignorant, and he doesn't want to think about why the four princes and the Li family are willing to suffer this dumb loss even if the Li family did not die of a violent illness.

The fourth child has not stopped during this time, the Qin family and the Chen family have ill intentions, why can't the queen mother know? Watching from the sidelines is nothing more than thinking that the four princes are wishful thinking, so he said that the wife he married, how can he be able to rule the six palaces and the world in the future, and there is such a queen, wouldn't it make hundreds of officials and people laugh, and the Qin family still wants to rely on Concubine Qin to power the government and the opposition one day.

But the queen mother is also worried, the saint has been pressuring for a long time not to crown the crown princess, but instead enshrined the daughter of the fourth prince as the princess, even if it is the eldest granddaughter, it is too much, no wonder it attracts people's hearts.

Before the full moon of Longqing, some people wanted to pour "sewage" on the three princes, all in order to weaken the power of the crown prince.

In fact, the Queen Mother also thought about it, how could she have expected that it was a few people who thought they were smart and wanted to take revenge on the princess by the death of the Li family, whether it was the third prince or the fourth prince, this time it was all lying down.

The Queen Mother still gave Mrs. Qin to sit and talk, and then "advised" Concubine Qin: "Even if Shiro's daughter-in-law has grievances in her heart, she should still speak well, and on a cold day, she cried carefully and broke her eyes." ”

How could Mrs. Qin not hear that this was the Queen Mother accusing Concubine Qin of losing her physique, she sneered in her heart, and her tone inevitably brought out a little stiffness: "Originally, it was also a matter of trouble in the Three Princes' Mansion, the Third Highness did not marry the main concubine, and the two side concubines were inevitably unjustified and unreasonable, so there were rumors, although Ah Yi had negligence, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother should have taught her how to restrain the servants and maids, and the Fourth Highness was inevitably a little resentful because she was punished, and it was too much to blame Ah Yi for being supposed to only send people back to Ning, Ah Yi is a princess who is married by the saint and is married by a famous matchmaker, how can she be humiliated by this because of a slight negligence. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "Madame's words are biased, what can San Lang be a big deal if he doesn't have a concubine?" It has nothing to do with whether there is a concubine, but it is just Shiro's daughter-in-law's maid talking in private, polluting the royal family, being listened to in the ears, if it is not suppressed in time, when it is not publicized and outsiders say that it is the princes' hands and feet close the wall, it was not originally the word 'negligence' can be covered, the mourning family also blames the queen for this, the Qin family is her daughter-in-law, she usually loves to make a small temperament, and her words and deeds are out of character, the queen should be disciplined, so as not to laugh and be generous in the future, and make people criticize my royal daughter-in-law for being out of character. ”

The Queen Mother was obviously angered by Mrs. Qin's allusion that it was the fault of the three princes, and her expression was still calm, but she no longer whitewashed Concubine Qin, let alone Mrs. Qin's refutation, and continued: "The Qin family doesn't think about their own faults, but for a moment of grievance, regardless of Mrs. Qin's illness, crying and annoying is not in line with everyone's style? The mourning family also has children and grandchildren, and they know that as an elder, they will inevitably feel sorry for their granddaughters, so they have repeatedly been considerate of their wife. ”

"To be honest, the queen still wants to edict the Qin family to enter the palace to admonish, but Shiro first let her return to Ning to serve the sick, filial piety first, it is not impossible, and the mourning family did not mention the matter of the precept, but the lady listened to the words of the Qin family, and thought that the royal affairs were unfair...... Shiro's daughter-in-law, let me ask you, isn't it because you are worried about Mrs. Tai's illness, and you are deeply ashamed that you have been raised by Mrs. Tai and cannot fulfill your filial piety? ”

Concubine Qin's choked throat.

Mrs. Qin is also flushed, and her makeup is more and more bright, but the corners of her lips are blue and white without any blood, obviously blocked by the Queen Mother's reprimands, how can she admit that the granddaughter she has worked hard to cultivate is actually a loss of virtue.

The Queen Mother sighed: "If Shiro's daughter-in-law thinks that she is wronged at home and has resentment, your grandmother will not blame her, and the mourning family will be considerate, so she will allow you to go back to the Four Princes' Mansion, and wait for you to go to Kunren Palace to order the queen to admonish, and then leave the palace and return to the palace." ”

For example, the aunt lowered her eyes and held back a smile - the queen mother won a complete victory, how could Concubine Qin just go back to the Four Princes' Mansion like this, wouldn't she bear the charge of unfilial piety, and it would lead to ridicule - the Four Princes specially sent her back to the Qin family to serve the sick, but the Prince's Mansion didn't send anyone to pick her up, so she cried and had to go back......

So Concubine Qin moved the "princess" grandmother out of the house, and entered the palace full of hope, expecting to save face, but she didn't take advantage of it, but instead fell into the queen mother's gentle admonition, and fell into the queen's solemn warning, and still returned to the Qin family in despair, becoming more and more discouraged.

It's not over yet.

Mrs. Qin didn't breathe a bad breath, and saw her granddaughter be humiliated again, and walked on foot in the palace on a cold day, and fainted in the car on the way back.

However, when she entered the palace this time, she took advantage of the fact that Qin Xiang's father and son were in the court, and Mrs. Qin was the daughter-in-law in the end, and she didn't dare to stop her, so she let Mrs. Tai succeed.

When Qin Xiang learned about it, he was furious, and left his sleeves in front of his wife's sickbed.

Mrs. Tai suffered such a heavy setback, and felt deeply ashamed, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

When he was dying, he comforted Concubine Qin: "When I enter the palace this time, although I don't have the ability to fight for dignity for you, I can come out of the palace and die of serious illness...... People will not let go of the Dalong royal family, even if his Yu family sits in the world, he still has to follow the word etiquette! After all, I am a former dynasty clan...... The Yu family is a rebel and a thief...... I died in vain, and those old ministers of Dongming will not let them go...... Yi'er, grandmother can only do so much for you, you will do it for yourself in the future...... Don't worry, as soon as I die, His Royal Highness will also attend the funeral, and by the way, I will take you back, which is ......"

In February of the eighth year of Yuanqing, Mrs. Xiangfu died of illness.

The Queen Mother just sighed: "I saw that although she was weak earlier, she still had some spirit, but she didn't expect to ...... so soon"

Some noblewomen sighed a few times, no one questioned the cause of Mrs. Qin's death, and no one even mentioned her identity as a "Dongming Clan".

Anyway, the old grandmother of the wife clan passed away, and although the four princes did not have to mourn, they still came to mourn.

But he didn't take Concubine Qin back.

On the contrary, the queen: "Mrs. Tai passed away, Concubine Qin was grief-stricken, she was raised by Mrs. Tai for many years, only hated to be filial, Concubine Qin asked herself to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to mourn Mrs. Tai, although the etiquette system is not compatible, the son begged the queen mother to understand Concubine Qin's warm filial piety, and allowed her to mourn in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a year, which can also be regarded as the grace of Mrs. Tai's upbringing." ”

The queen also sighed, praised Concubine Qin's pure filial piety, and allowed her to stay in the prime minister's mansion for mourning.

According to the Dalong mourning system, the married daughter follows her husband, breaks away from the patrilineal clan and joins the husband's family, if the parents die, do not accept the decline and serve the decline without fighting, that is, one year, not for the grandparents to mourn.

However, there are married women who are married to mourn and fulfill their filial piety with their grandparents, and they invite themselves to live and mourn for a while, and under normal circumstances, the husband's family will also allow it.

So Concubine Qin was so "mourned".

Because of the death of her grandmother, Concubine Qin really felt sad, although she was furious when she heard about the "mourning", she resented the four princes more and more for being ruthless and unjust, but she didn't make any more trouble.

But apart from her, no one in the Hehe Prime Minister's Mansion is sad about the death of Mrs. Tai, such as Qin Ziruo, this girl is worried about the situation of Concubine Qin, who has been mourning for a year in her mother's house, even if she is welcomed back to the Four Princes' Mansion in the future, I am afraid that she will lose the favor of the Four Highnesses, and she will be squeezed by Deng and Bai Concubines with nowhere to stand.

Another thing that worries the girl is that her father is the eldest son, and her mother died of illness and mourned for three years.

That is to say, the position of the right man has to change hands and be replaced by another surname.

Of course, this is also Qin Youcheng's trouble, but even if he has never been estranged from this mother-in-law from the former dynasty, he can't violate the law of filial piety.

He is not an important military and political minister, and he does not want to "win affection" as a special case.

It was still Qin Xiang who saw through and comforted his descendants: "Ding Wei has been in obscurity for three years, and the position of the right man is dispensable, and when you recover in three years, I should also be the right person." The implication is that if the son recovers after three years, he should inherit the phase.

also said that Xiao Xie's family, because of the turmoil of the "Dirty Prince", was really unlucky.

Especially when she wanted to defile the third prince.

Yu Dong was half angry after knowing this, his fists were clenched muffled, and he was forced to press it before he could punch it.

Xiao Xie was scolded a lot, kneeling and swelling his knees, crying and swollen eyes, and he had to endure the pain in his body and go to the old princess to flatter and flatter, in order to ask the old princess for forgiveness, and return the middle gift he took back to her.

It didn't take long for Xiao Xie to hear the bad news again - the unbelievable father and son of the King of Chu actually interceded for the third prince, pardoned the exile, and released him home.

The third master immediately found someone to reach out to Yu Dong to ask for money.

Yu Dong's own savings are still useful, enveloping his subordinates, feeding the outer room or something, and transferring this problem to Xiao Xie's family.

Xiao Xie had no choice but to use his own savings, and since then he has continued to fill the bottomless pit of the third master.

Fortunately, the old princess really couldn't take care of the housework, and under the persuasion of Yijing, she took care of it for more than ten days before she forgave Xiao Xie and still let her work.

Xiao Xie took a long breath and racked his brains to make money in the palace, and all of this was carefully recorded by the Shan family, and it was handed over to Guan Sui Yuan every once in a while.

Xiao Xie's has since entered the mode of dire situation - under Yu Dong's warning, he has to curry favor with the old princess, and he no longer dares to offend Yijing, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, flattery, and waste all his efforts to intercept wealth can only meet the "food and clothing" of the third master, and then he can't put a copper plate into his pocket, not to mention, he has to be afraid to take out the silver from his pocket and squander it for the third master, Yu Dong is increasingly cold to her, Xiao Xie has a belly of fire, wakes up in the middle of the night, and sleeps alone, which only then understands the pain of "it is difficult for a gentleman to see a woman".

The life of being a mother-in-law is not good, and she can only vent it to her daughter-in-law, who made Xiao Xie dare not even provoke Zhiniang from now on, for fear that the old princess will be angry.

Huang Jiangyue's days were even more difficult.

Yu Zhou served in Xishanwei, returned on five days, it was easy to come back, I had to go to Rongxi Hall to fulfill my filial piety, go out to get together with my confidant in the next day, and come back at night, and I would not necessarily go to Jixia Courtyard - because the situation of the second room was worrying, and the old princess was biased towards Zhiniang, Yu Zhou was much more enthusiastic about her than Huang Jiangyue.

Jiang Yue is not sad for her children's private feelings, but she feels deeply ashamed and humiliated.

Helplessly, Xiao Xie warned, and she just asked Zhi Niang to make rules and weigh them.

On the contrary, she had to rush to Lixiang Courtyard to make rules before dawn, wait for Xiao Xie's to freshen up and eat, and listen to and take care of housework.

After all three meals had to be served to Xiao Xie's family, Jiang Yue could fill her stomach with leftovers and cold rice.

In contrast, Yijing's life is very noble, leisurely and pleasant, and a few housekeepers and maids are all useful people, although the princess is in charge of a very surprising number of industries, she only needs one or two wastes, and the trivialities of Guan Suiyuan can be completely assured by handing over to Xie and Yang.

All day long, I accompanied the old princess to talk funny things, and Anran enjoyed the garden scenery, and from time to time was blackmailed by the sisters who were "killed" from the Guogong Mansion to blackmail a table of wine and food, or invited a few boudoir friends to come to the house for a small meeting, care about the life events of the sisters, or get the invitation to get close to the mansion, and let the old princess go to socialize together, often free, and do not forget to tailor the female red to please her family pavilion, and wash your hands to make soup when you are interested, and take advantage of the plum red and green calyx in the last season, and Yu Feng Xiao pours the scenery, or strokes the piano to have fun.

The days were very colorful and elegant.

However, Yijing still spends an hour every day to study the Di Bao, so as not to let himself be lonely and unheard.

Knowing that Princess Xiliang's mission has entered the country, calculate the time, and arrive in Jinyang in mid-March.
