Yichen did not go back to the palace to discuss with the eldest princess first according to the queen's instructions, but went straight to the Guan Sui Garden of the Chu Palace, and said the queen's words in detail: "Because I couldn't figure out the queen's intentions at all, I didn't dare to rashly alarm my grandmother, so I had to ask the fifth sister for an idea first." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yi Jing understood the queen's plan.

What saint is busy with government affairs, the queen mother is recuperating and worshipping the Buddha, these are all excuses, the crown princess is not only a matter of heaven, but also belongs to the category of state affairs, never avoided the Son of Heaven and the queen mother, but asked the ministers to discuss the reason in advance.

The queen may have tried it in front of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother first, but there was no result, so she was impatient.

Those two candidates, one is Zhen Lian's cousin, and the other is Mrs. Zhen's maiden niece.

The queen undoubtedly still wants to win over this group of forces for the use of the crown prince.

But if the Son of Heaven turns a deaf ear, or avoids mentioning it, it will inevitably make the queen uneasy, the prince has no heir, the crown princess is vacant, and if the saint has no easy storage heart, this matter should be put in the first place and the crown princess should be selected as soon as possible.

The queen didn't really want to discuss with Yichen or the eldest princess at all, she had already decided about the candidate, if it wasn't Zhen's, it would be Xing's.

It is clear that he wants to "remind" the saint through the mouths of Wei Guogong and King Chu that the two are the ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the prince needs their help.

However, the queen knew that Yijing was "not easy to deal with", so she picked Yichen, who was easy to handle, and some words could not be said clearly, and she was afraid that Yichen would not understand, so she woke her up - whether it was the eldest princess, or Yijing, she would tell the words, and they must understand the meaning of the queen's words.

bluntly said that Yichen's miscarriage was nothing more than pressure and threats.

Of course, Yichen inadvertently had a miscarriage, which is not a "crime", but King Fu has the intention to conceal this matter, obviously because he does not want people to take advantage of the ups and downs of Yichen's heirs, to recall the old words of the concubine, the queen rules the six palaces, and the mother is the world, of course, she is the most qualified person to 'meddle' in this matter.

After figuring out these tricks, Yi Jing explained them to Yi Chen one by one: "This matter has little to do with the eldest sister, and there is no need to worry too much, when the son returns, I will discuss with him first, as for the grandmother, if you don't have to bother her old man, it is better for Mo Ti for the time being." ”

Yichen is still struggling with the miscarriage: "Except for grandmother, mother and you, this matter is hidden by the prince, how can the queen know about it?" ”

View: ...... My good sister, after the matter of the palace maid Qiongyi that year, don't you know that there are already the eyes and ears of the queen in the Fuwang Mansion?

Seeing that Yichen was worried, Yijing had no choice but to tell the truth.

Yichen was shocked: "I just thought that the 'squire' guard was really bought by Qiongyi...... I don't have anything to do with this, I'm just worried that the queen will be unfavorable to the prince. ”

"Brother-in-law understands better than my sister, Xu didn't elaborate because he didn't want you to worry, those eyes and ears brother-in-law must know in their hearts, and they won't let them be involved, but even if they know that it is the queen's eyes and ears, it is not easy to clear it." Yijing persuaded: "I don't have to hide my sister's miscarriage from the queen, the middle palace knows, I think it is my brother-in-law who has a heart to 'dew', in order to hide people's eyes." ”

Prince Fu's heirs are prosperous or thin, and the queen doesn't care at all, or she doesn't want the concubines to have no queen, so King Fu doesn't ask for side concubines, and the queen has never made things difficult, not only to please the Weiguo Mansion, but also not to disobey the will of the saint and the queen mother, almost the best things, why bother yourself.

This time it was nothing more than an attempt to use this matter to put pressure on the Guogong Mansion.

Yi Chen is not too confused in the end, and he understands it when he is reminded by Yi Jingyi, but the worry is still difficult to solve: "But in this way, wouldn't it make the Chu Wangfu and the Guogong Mansion embarrassed?" ”

"Don't worry, the saint should have made a decision on this matter, even if the father and Weng Dad or the son of the world talk to each other, it will not help, and it is not difficult to perfunctory the queen on the surface." Yijing comforted her as much as she could, and it was easy to dispel Yichen's worries, send her out of Guansui Garden, and watch her board the car and leave.

After dinner in the Yu Pavilion Department that night, when he went to the study to deal with official business as usual, he suddenly found that the princess of his family was extremely attentive, serving tea for a while, handing over the hand stove for a while, adding 'jade' orchid incense to the incense burner for a while, and handing a preserved fruit to the 'lip' side for a while...... On a cold day, I refused to go back to the room to enjoy the warm kang, but sat on the floor in the middle of the study and waited.

Even if it was covered with several layers of thick fur felt, he was afraid of seeping into the cold, so Yu Feng restrained his thoughts of enjoying the "beauty on the side", put aside his official duties for the time being, pulled the person out, snuggled up on the long couch covered with ferret mattresses, and reached out to scrape the bridge of the nose of someone who was clearly "suspicious": "What is the princess thinking, let's listen to it first, otherwise you will be attentive to the side, and I can't calm down." ”

Yi Jingyuan wanted to bring up these two things at dinner, for fear of hurting the appetite of someone who was already a picky eater, and after the meal, he saw that he was busy with business and did not find a suitable opportunity, so he "sneakily" haunted on the side, this time it was debunked, and he simply stopped holding back, and first said a relatively important one.

"The saint wants to choose one of the two concubines, Zhuo and Wei, and the queen's response is in vain." Yu Feng said crisply.

This represents......

The sacred heart is unpredictable, and Yijing doesn't care about the ownership of the storage position for the time being, and only cares about the present: "Is there a way for the cabinet to perfunctory the queen?" ”

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows lightly, he really wanted to sell Guanzi, considering that there were still many official duties, he didn't flirt and scold to delay time, and said concisely: "Don't worry, the queen will be hung on the saint for a while, and she will deal with it." ”

Yijing understood that the feelings of the world's supreme couple are testing each other, it seems that the sense of trust is very limited, and it is really the most ruthless emperor's family, maybe the saint will first plant a sour plum tree to quench the queen's thirst, and then "drink the ...... as a "stick" Okay, she did not comment on this matter, and hurriedly told Erniang's request, because of these trivialities, delayed her family's "pillars of the country" labor distraction "good wife" is very unhappy, and explained: "The second sister can do things like this time, it is really not simple, and it is related to her happiness, I can't bear to sit idly by. ”

"The second brother-in-law is not an outsider, I will take this matter to heart." The cabinet agreed happily: "But this matter has to be done overnight, and it can't be '' too quickly, and the results can only be seen after the year. ”

Based on this sentence alone, Yi Jing naturally can't hear that "not an outsider" has another meaning - in fact, Zhou's brother-in-law's eldest sister-in-law, Tao Kai, belongs to the Shenji Battalion, and is a cronie who is hand-picked by today's son, and has long been incorporated into Tianchawei, and now he is Yu Feng's subordinate, and the two are also 'friends' on the surface, and often hear Tao Kai mention it, saying that his virtuous sister-in-law cares about her husband's uncle, that is, Zhou's brother-in-law, but Zhou's brother-in-law has been arrogant by his mother since he was a child, and he inevitably has some habits of being shy, although he is not fond of money, he is good at 'lust', and he is always happy to be in the wind Flower's elegance of the snow moon, and the desolation of the history of Confucianism, Zhou's sister-in-law can't persuade her, but she can't help but feel ashamed of her mother-in-law's trust back then, and repeatedly mention it, which is very regrettable.

This time, he took the opportunity to let Brother-in-law Zhou "change his evil and return to the right", which also solved the problem of housework for his subordinates.

Yijing heard that her family's cabinet was planning to let Brother-in-law Zhou plant a heel first this time, but she didn't ask carefully, but she was worried: "Tomorrow's 'Spring' is not going to take the children's exam, and the second brother-in-law is not a prisoner, if you work hard after the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Yu Feng said with a smile: "You also underestimate the second brother-in-law too much, but you have also worked hard in the clan studies for a few years, and you invited Mr. to teach at the beginning. ”

Seeing that Yu Feng agreed happily, Yi Jing was immediately relieved, printed a fragrant 'kiss' as a "reward", and was very considerate and did not stay in the study to disturb people's business, and happily went to the kitchen, planning to make tonight's 'medicine' meal for Yu Ge's department.

——

The "miraculous" Yu Pavilion Department was expected to hit again this time.

On the winter solstice of the sixth year of Yuanqing, it happened to fall the first snow of this winter, at dusk, the gold tile of the palace has been covered with a layer of silver white, on this day, the heavenly family held a grand ceremony to worship the sky, the court meeting was also very grand and lively, the sky and the earth were completely shrouded in a rich night'color', and the Son of Heaven came to the Kunren Palace that he had not been to for a long time.

Today's winter solstice, the queen expected that the saint would definitely come to the middle palace, and specially let the imperial dining room prepare a powder corner (dumplings), just wait for the saint to come and then let the small kitchen pot, never thought until the end of the three watches, and never looked forward to the holy drive, the queen endured sleepiness and waited in the warm pavilion.

The mood is very calm, and there is no anxiety and anger, although the Son of Heaven treats her very coldly these days, but not only the middle palace, but also the east and west six palaces have not looked forward to the holy drive, everyone has no holy favor, and the queen is calm - except for the matter of 'worrying' about the vacancy of the crown princess.

Today is a rare opportunity, and I heard that the Holy Lord was very happy when he heard about the pilgrimage, and perhaps it was the right time to mention it.

When Father-in-law Zhan's sharp and thin voice sounded through the cold and snowy quiet hall, the queen got up upright and greeted the holy car.

The dragon and phoenix shuangzun tasted the pink horn of the festival in a warm and peaceful atmosphere, and then there was time for gossip.

To the queen's surprise, the Son of Heaven took the initiative to mention the matter of the prince's concubine and asked her opinion.

The queen was ecstatic, thinking that it was the "hint" to Yichen that day that played a role, as for which party was admonishing Shangjin, the queen didn't care - the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu were originally in-laws, and it should always be discussed and agreed, and one of them would advise, and she would never do the stupid thing of asking about the "family affairs" of the heavenly family, and what reassured the queen was that she was finally worried about the sky, how could the saint have the intention of abolishing the reserve? Otherwise, the Duke of Wei Guo and the King of Chu will definitely not disobey the holy will, and the saint will not change his mind easily.

She originally "hinted" at the two mansions through the mouth of Yichen, and also had the intention of testing the holy will.

The result was to the satisfaction of the Queen.

Of course, he bluntly mentioned the Zhen and Xing families, since the saint has no intention of abolishing the prince, of course, there is no need to have any scruples about consolidating the power of the prince.

"Another day, the two 'females' will enter the palace, and let the queen mother pass by, smart and virtuous, and the most important thing is to have a good character, remember the lesson of the abolished princess." The Son of Heaven dropped a sentence and got up to leave: "The queen rests, I still have to go back to the imperial study to approve the folds, so I won't stay here with you." ”

The queen didn't feel the loss at all, and sent it off with a smile.

Of course, I didn't see the original gentle look of the Son of Heaven, and as soon as I got out of the palace 'door' of Kunren Palace, he suddenly froze, and his eyebrows were frowned.

The night was 'dark' and unclear.

And after the winter solstice, the Zhen Mansion and the Xing Mansion who got the news were all relieved. Changqi, since Zhen Lian was abolished, her mood has only been slightly calmer, followed by joy in their hearts, and they are all thinking about it.

Zhen Hou hopes that his niece 'daughter' will be selected, although he is not his 'daughter', but he can't write two Zhen characters in one stroke, and he is always closer than the Xing family.

But Mrs. Zhen had a different idea.

She is the most unwilling person, and after learning the "good" news, she didn't really feel happy.

Her two 'daughters', one of whose bones are cold, and the other who is forbidden to the cold palace, have wasted years of hard work, how can they not be sad and 'desire'?

Fortunately, Zhen Lian is still alive.

Mrs. Zhen has been the mother-in-law of the East Palace for many years, and she still has some connections, and she inquired about the prince since Ah Lian was deposed, depressed and sad, and it is the unforgettable memory of Ah Lian, which means that there is still a glimmer of hope, and when the prince will become a great treasure in the future, Ah Lian is not without a chance to see the light of day.

However, it is difficult to ensure that time has passed, and the prince has gradually forgotten.

There needs to be someone by his side to remind him from time to time.

Since Zhen Mo's incident that year, the second and third uncles of Houfu have harbored a grudge against the long house, especially Mrs. Zhen, who has no way to teach 'women', and often clashes with the Zhen family.

The 'daughters' in the second and third rooms have been somewhat affected by Zhen Mo in their marriage, so they will inevitably be separated from Mrs. Zhen.

If the niece and daughter of the second room enter the East Palace, she will never help Ah Lian.

still has to rely on her niece's 'daughter', who is the 'daughter' of her own brother, and is also related to herself.

Resolutely not let Zhen be elected! Mrs. Zhen secretly decided.

This snowfall lasted for seven or eight days before it cleared.

At the end of November, it was also the day when Yuzhou and Huang Jiangyue "tied the knot".
