In the late autumn day, the sunlight shining in from the east window sparkled on the ground, soothing the ankles through the skirt, only slightly warm.

Yi Jing was sitting in the rose chair by the window, holding a copy of the palace issued in the morning, while listening to the "information" about Qin Ziruo collected by the bell report - this girl has been "mingling" with the big and small maids in Rongxi Hall for a few days, especially Zhu Mama and Yan'er, who are most relied on by the old princess at the moment, have received a lot of "small favors".

Of course, it is impossible for her to bribe the servants to serve her, the intention is only to please the hearts of the people, establish a harmonious and well-behaved image, so as not to be regarded as a threat when flattering the old princess, and make enemies first for no reason. Ziruo girl is also very adaptable.

In addition, although there is no special maid around the girl, she can also be "self-reliant", which does not make people criticize her for being arrogant, and she still does not forget to envelop the Zheng mother and daughter, but she does not easily let them "do evil", and the Zheng mother and daughter, who already love to take advantage, naturally maintain a close "friendship" with her.

After hearing this, Yijing only asked the bell to continue to pay attention.

Yu Feng suddenly picked up the curtain and came in, and the maids immediately withdrew with great eyes.

"Sister Zhao handed over the news, today the Duchess and the sixth sister should go to Ci'an Palace, 'coincidentally' the Holy Lord is also in front of the Empress Dowager, not long after, the Empress Dowager will give a decree to marry, and now the inner servants of Ci'an Palace have gone to the Chen family and the Guogong Mansion respectively to announce the decree."

The newspaper in Yijing's hand smashed on her skirt, and she asked halfway, "How could there be such a change?" ”

"Sister Zhao and Aunt Ru were both sent out by the Holy Lord first, and no one knows the specific situation." Yu Feng picked up the newspaper on the skirt of the beautiful scene: "Mrs. and the sixth sister should have returned home, and when I came in, I had already asked someone to prepare the car." ”

Before these words fell, Yijing had already gotten up and walked out, and when he raised the curtain, he paused again, and turned to look at Yu Feng, who was still standing under the window: "You don't want to go?" ”

"I have an appointment with Senator Chen." Yu Feng only said.

Yijing didn't have time to think about it, and when he went out, he only told Xia Ke and Qiushuang to follow.

When Yijing arrived, the palace attendants really arrived at the Weiguo Mansion with the Huang family and Liuniang, because Weiguo Gong and Su Ke were on duty in the yamen today, in addition to the female dependents, there was only the official position but the "leisure" at home Su Xun and the third master Su Yi knelt together to receive Yi's will, at this time the eldest princess even sent Su Xun out, and only Su Yi and Liu Niang were on the side in Yuanying Hall.

The eldest princess's expression was calm, and before she could ask, she heard Yijing come and asked Linglong to let people in.

Yijing saluted, and immediately looked at the sixth sister who was standing on the side with her hands down, and her rather heroic face was calm, and she couldn't see the slightest grievance or grievance.

"Sixth sister, what's going on? How could the Empress Dowager suddenly give a marriage? Yijing preemptively asked.

"The saint asked me about my wishes, and I said that I was willing to marry into the Chen family, and the saint was very happy when he heard this, and he should even promote the empress dowager to give me a decree." As soon as these words came out, they denied the conjecture of the eldest princess and Yijing, indicating that the empress dowager did not do anything coercive.

Of course, it was not enough to dispel the doubts in the hearts of everyone present.

"But what did your mother say to you?" The eldest princess in one word.

But Liu Niang did not admit it: "Grandmother, it is indeed a granddaughter who is willing." ”

The eldest princess frowned tightly, but Yijing looked at Liuniang thoughtfully.

"The granddaughter understands the thoughts of the elders, it is for the good of my life, the original marriage, the granddaughter should also follow the orders of her parents, the mother's previous words for the family are not untrue, but there is not unreasonable, the granddaughter has thought carefully, and the marriage with the Chen family is indeed beneficial and harmless." Liuniang squatted down slightly and held the eldest princess's hand: "Grandmother, it was Feng'er who betrayed your kindness, grandmother, don't be angry because of this." ”

Liuniang has always been a little indifferent, and rarely makes such a gesture of being close to her little daughter, which made the eldest princess feel disturbed for a while, took Liuniang and let her sit next to her, and finally eased some of her calmness: "Feng'er, don't you really feel wronged?" ”

"At first, the granddaughter knew that this marriage was used by someone to persecute her, and she was reluctant, and she just didn't want to be bullied, and then she asked the third uncle, and sure enough, she knew that the conspiracy here was someone who wanted to instigate our Su family and the queen mother, and the granddaughter thought, these people are planning to do this, and there will be a follow-up, even if they can be resolved this time, they can't keep the conspiracy that follows. In the future, if the situation can be reversed, it will be even more enjoyable, and at this time, the granddaughter will really be unwilling. ”

The eldest princess had never told Yifeng such a complicated situation, just because she was worried that she would add pressure to her, but she didn't expect that Su Yi had said something wrong, and then she couldn't help glaring at her son angrily.

Su Yi Suxi is the wisdom and calmness of the sixth niece, and knows that although Liu Niang is a boudoir, she has a very determined mind in her heart, and her knowledge is extraordinary.

Liuniang said again: "Grandmother, don't blame the third uncle, it was the granddaughter who pestered the third uncle to ask these questions, some words have been held in my heart for some time, grandmother can allow her granddaughter to speak bluntly?" ”

The eldest princess sighed helplessly, patted Liu Niang's hand and gave permission.

"Our Su family is trusted by three generations of emperors, and it is powerful and powerful, which is also the grace of the heavenly family, but my father, grandfather, uncle and brother are not greedy for power, and they have always been loyal to the monarchy, but now they are feared, but if they can be exchanged for peace just by relinquishing power, it is not impossible, but this is not the case." Liu Niang's tone was calm and calm from beginning to end, and when she paused here, she only raised her eyebrows slightly: "The actual situation is that people who are motivated by desire to take advantage of the saint's jealousy of the Su family to seize power for their own use, with the intention of replacing the power of the government and the opposition, if they succeed, they will inevitably hold the imperial power hostage in the future, and before that, how can they allow the Guogong Mansion to retreat and maintain obscurity?" They will not give up until they achieve their goal, and we should not allow bullying and not fight back. ”

"The granddaughter also knows her grandmother's kindness, and she knows that the family is in trouble, but she doesn't want her granddaughter to be involved, but grandmother, I am the daughter of the Su family, raised by the Su family, and I am confident that I can do my best for the family, but I can't stand by and just want to be peaceful, grandmother, when the ancestor was forced to have no choice but to raise troops in Chuzhou, my grandmother was willing to be born and die to fight on the battlefield at the age of cardamom, how could my granddaughter be willing to sit back and enjoy her success and be alone?"

"The Chen family's room shows loyalty to the Empress Dowager, and my Su family is an alliance, and the granddaughter's marriage to Liulang can not only confuse the opponent, but also further stabilize the relationship with the Chen family, and there is no need for the granddaughter to risk herself.

"The third uncle also said that Senator Chen is actually the pillar of the Chen family, regardless of the family, it has a great influence in the Chen family, and the old family is also optimistic about Senator Chen, not to mention Liulang, just say that in the future, Aunt Weng, in the overall situation and private affairs, will protect her granddaughter, and her granddaughter will not be bullied and incapable of self-protection, and she has her own family elders to rely on, and she will be able to work together with her husband's family in the future."

"Although the internal affairs of the Chen family are complicated, fortunately, the long house is relatively simple, the eldest son died early and has no heirs, and even the eldest daughter-in-law has returned to Ning, the concubine does not mention it, and there will only be a fifth sister-in-law on the granddaughter in the future, which is considered old, although An Hui is not easy to get along with, but the granddaughter thinks that she is enough to deal with it, she can't bully me."

"The granddaughter also knows that the grandmother is most resistant to Liulang's bad character, but the granddaughter thinks that he is not unforgivable, his mistake is to insult Jane's wife, so that he throws himself into the favor, but the granddaughter listens to the third uncle mentioning Liulang, has a heart of remorse, can be changed, and there is something desirable, if he can respect me in the future, of course I will pay respect, if he has a heart of humiliation, I am not the temperament of Jane's lady, I will definitely not do anything to hurt myself, it is bound to return to the benefit, grandmother does not need to worry, granddaughter married into Chen Jiayuan is not for the sake of children's affection, What I care about is not Rokuro's true feelings, and whether he cares about others or not can't hurt me half a point. ”

Liuniang was straightforward, but the three people present were dumbfounded.

Later, the eldest princess had no choice but to let the sisters talk, and she took Su Yi and asked: "I have to listen to the third master carefully and tell me what is desirable about the six Langs of the Chen family." ”

The third uncle glanced at his sixth niece - the girl with great grievance, I only mentioned that Liulang was usually quite diligent, not like those who were drunk on wine, I really didn't want him to make such a scandal, but I was not sure that he had merit.

But she could only try her best to turn around, so that the eldest princess would not be too disgusted.

Yi Jingdang avoided her relatives, and she didn't have many scruples when talking to the sixth sister, and she also said bluntly: "The sixth sister can hide it from her grandmother, but she can't hide it from me, you suddenly changed your mind, is it because of your wife's persecution?" ”

Liuniang's expression was even more relaxed at this time, she leaned on the beauty slightly, and looked at Qiu Ju, who was opening just right along the corridor: "Fifth sister doesn't need to ask, it doesn't matter if it's right or not, she is always my biological mother, that is, she has a request, and I have to agree to this matter if I read the words blood is thicker than water." ”

"You really don't care that Rokuro cares about others?"

When Liuniang heard this, she smiled: "My heart is not in him, of course I don't care who he cares about, when Chen Jialiulang was drunk and dreamed of death, how many people laughed and ridiculed, to be honest, I didn't care, he can be like a dusty woman, which shows that he is also a person of great affection, compared to some hypocrites who claim to be treacherous in the blink of an eye, a person's character does not lie in people's words, just say that the Qin family, who did not praise the prestige of the family of poetry and books in the past, how is it actually? It is rumored that Lang Jun, who has both moral character, may not be a real faction. ”

"Of course, this is true as a bystander, but sixth sister, in the future, you will have to join hands with Chen Liulang for the rest of your life."

"Fifth sister, you know my temperament, it's a little cold, it's not pleasing, my grandmother is for my good, and I'm bent on finding a talented and talented man for me, but to be honest, I don't have the confidence to be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with a person I've never met, and I don't want to spend all my thoughts on my husband and children, I can respect each other like a guest, and it's good to raise my eyebrows, I don't resist Chen Liulang, he can respect me as the best, if not, if the old state sprouts, expect me to please him with a maiko, I can't do it, it's a big deal before I get married, Ask Mr. Wei and the lord of Pingle County to discuss a few singers and dancers trained in their mansion, which is enough to meet his unexpected needs. ”

Yijing couldn't cry or laugh: "Do you still have the heart to laugh?" ”

Liuniang Waner: "I don't want to be wholeheartedly devoted to anyone easily, Chen Liulang cares about others, and it is best not to have those expectations for me, so that it may be respectful to each other, no matter how bad it is, it can ensure that Qiu does not commit any crimes, there is no perfection in this world, compared to marrying a completely strange family, I still know a little bit about the Chen family, at least I know that Mrs. Chen is not a difficult mother-in-law, Senator Chen is still decent, utilitarianism is inevitable, and it will not be so power-hungry, look at An Hui, her mother's family has become that situation, and they are not harsh, this world, It's not easy to have this family style. ”

The sixth sister is so glorious, she doesn't feel aggrieved at all, and she can't say anything more about Yijing's words of consolation, she also understands that this matter is ironclad, the empress dowager can't take back her fate, and the Weiguo Mansion can't disobey Yi's will, no matter how much it is not worth it for the sixth sister, it's just to add to her troubles, and at this time, she told Liuniang everything An Hui said that day, including the true identity of Hongyi.

Liuniang sighed instead: "I said that I don't know where to go in red clothes, but it turns out that King Xiang has a dream goddess who has no intention, don't spread this matter, let Liulang have a good heart in his heart, no one wants to be let down by others, it is still a small matter to be disappointed, and it is even more uncomfortable to be used." She paused slightly, and then said solemnly: "Fifth sister, my sister has a reluctant request, can you tell me bluntly, what did mother do to you, I always feel that it is not as simple as Mama Song." ”
