After returning to Beijing, Chen Lan originally planned to visit Mrs. Zhendong Hou, but her mother-in-law Jiang Shidao had been there once before, and Mrs. Zhendong Hou was ill repeatedly, so she was politely rejected by the Hou Mansion, and later Xiao Lang came to apologize in person, and she only invited Aunt Yun to visit once. At this moment, looking at the young servant woman from the Zhendong Hou Mansion in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

A maid in this wealthy family. Those who can be called mothers, who go out to visit and give gifts everywhere, have always been at least forty upwards, and have won the trust of the Lord's family. However, the mother Ye in front of her is at most twenty-five or sixteen, she is tall and beautiful, not only dressed decently, but also has a kind of conversation and behavior that is neither humble nor arrogant, which makes people feel that they don't look like subordinates at first glance. It's more like a young daughter-in-law of a family. Therefore, after the greetings, Chen Lan smiled and said: "If it weren't for the announcement outside, Mother Ye came in like this, I would never dare to admit it......

"I'm not afraid that Mrs. Yang will laugh, the slave maid was picked up by my wife from the snow, and my wife asked me to follow her surname. After single-handedly training, the slave and maid got the pity of the wife and the housekeeper who was married, but in fact, it was just a deep blessing. …。 Mother Ye, who was sitting on the small pestle, smiled and owed, "It's that the slave maid has been listening to Mrs. Yang talk about Mrs. Yang's name, and this time I finally had the opportunity to meet ......

Hearing that Mother Ye did not shy away from the life experience of abandoned babies, Chen Lan's heart moved, and he looked at him even more differently.

Glancing at the gift slip on the kang table next to her, she said: "Originally, Mother Ye came this time, and the old lady should have seen you, but unfortunately the old lady was a little unhappy during the day today, so she could only slack off." Please also go back to Mrs. Donghou in the town, he is getting better in the future, please come to the mirror garden to walk around, I don't say anything as a guest, just treat it as a family. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Yang," the slave will definitely return to my wife when she goes back...... Mother Ye hurriedly got up and curtsied. After sitting down again, he coughed lightly and said, "My wife has always said that the prince went to Beijing when he was young, and he went to Jiangnan again." Mrs. Tai has been talking about his affairs for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that my marquis has been inseparable from the outside, and Mrs. has been sick again and again, it would not have dragged on to this day. …”

Mother Ye suddenly mentioned this stubble, and Chen Lan couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Although he was only vague and humble at the moment, he nodded to Aunt Yun. Sure enough, when Aunt Yun beckoned and took the girls out, Mother Ye didn't hide it anymore, paused and continued: "My wife just got the news, the front is a big victory, the Korean civil strife, the king and the prince all lost their lives. The minister of the country has established a clan, and now he has written to ask for surrender, and the war in Liaodong is almost over......

"Is this episode serious? ……

Seeing that Chen Lan sat up straight all of a sudden, her eyes, which were a little lazy just now, changed suddenly, and Mother Ye's heart sank. He lowered his head slightly, and then said in a low voice: "After this big victory, I'm afraid I want to return to the court." These clichés such as promotion and knighthood, my wife and wife. Naturally, everything is at the mercy of God. The only thing my wife is worried about is the marriage of the prince. In recent days, some news has come out, and the Tao goes...... The Tao is my family's descendant, and I may be the lord. ”。

Lord!

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although it is not that the horse Yibin of this dynasty cannot be an official, there are only a few famous ministers among them after all. Although the noble family is keen to match their daughters with princes, few of them welcome the princess back to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan. The main reason is that the order in this clan ancestral hall is really troublesome. And marrying a princess is far less cost-effective than marrying a daughter and being a princess. What's more, "she vaguely remembered that there seemed to be only two or three princesses of marriage age now."

"Which princess is it? , "It's Princess Yongping who is recorded in the name of Concubine Shu, and she is only thirteen years old this year. …”

The person who asked was also concise and concise, followed by a long period of silence. Chen Lan pondered for a long time, and then asked again: "Dare to ask Mother Ye, how accurate is the news of Lord Shang?" "Mrs. Yang, this news is by no means groundless. According to my wife's inquiry, after the concubine mentioned this matter, the emperor seemed to have the intention to move, but he had not yet made a clear decree. Seeing Chen Lan squinting his eyes, as if he couldn't make up his mind, Mother Ye couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart, "Although my wife can take advantage of the official news to settle the marriage for the prince immediately, but if that happens, the disobedience is too obvious, and some people will say that the Hou Ye is arrogant, so my wife hesitates and can only come to Mrs. Yang with a cheeky face." My wife's condition has only eased now, "If it weren't for this, the alarm would have been too great, and she should have come in person......

Chen Lan knew that Mother Ye was not kind - if Zhendonghou really forced the chaos in North Korea, and the minister of the country set up a new monarch to ask for surrender, this trip must be a worldwide tribute, and when someone finds out the news that Mrs. Zhendonghou came to Jingyuan, then no friends can do it Moreover, Xiao Lang once had a life-saving grace with her, and Jiangnan and his party had a lot of ** with each other, and it was impossible to say anything about such a big thing. But in the end, it is the divine will that matters most.

"I also asked Mother Ye to reply to Mrs. Zhendonghou, I just counted this matter in my heart. …。

Although Chen Lan didn't say yes or no, such a statement had already made Ye's mother overjoyed. She hurriedly stood up and leaned over and kowtowed three times, and then stood up: "Mrs. Yang is now the time to recuperate and have a safe baby, and she shouldn't have bothered with these things, but my wife doesn't have many connections in the capital, and she didn't have a good relationship with people before, so she ......."

Mother Ye doesn't need to say much, "I understand." Chen Lan interrupted Ye's mother's words, "Seeing that she lost her initial composure, she stood there a little sneering." He smiled and said, "Xiao Shizi once said that Mrs. Zhendong Hou used to be in Nu'er Gandusi, and she was really Zhendong Hou's arm......

"Thank you Mrs. Yang for your compassion, thank you Mrs. Yang for your compassion! …”

After leaving Mother Ye to talk for a while, Chen Lan immediately called Aunt Yun in, handed over the gift list, and signaled to prepare a return gift. As soon as the others left, Chen Lan sat in this huge room and couldn't help but shake his head.

Thinking that she is as shrewd and capable as Mrs. Zhendonghou, and even neglected her son's character for this, now she has to go to the capital to recuperate, and she can't even make her own son's marriage, and that kind of panic and idle decision is not enough for outsiders. But Mrs. Zhendonghou came to beg her, a junior, for this matter, which shows that the matter is imminent.

"At the critical moment, she also knew that the prince's side couldn't count on ......."

Chen Lan muttered to herself, suddenly paused, stopped there and thought for a while, she suddenly smiled bitterly, and a thought flashed in her heart - although the post has been decided, he is really a prince like Shaocai. It is said that there are many people close to him, and his power is not small, but it is really an empty shell. And if you sit in such a high position, you can't form a party to fight for power, otherwise you will be a live target for the next head - perhaps, the King of Jin and his henchmen retreated when they established the prince, thinking that it was nothing more than to raise people up and fall down.

At about the end of the day, the Jiang family, who had slept before, finally woke up, and his spirit was much better than in the morning. Chen Lan watched Zhuang's mother feeding him by the side, and went to see the prescription in person, but when he wanted to taste the medicine, he was stopped by the Jiang family, and he was blasted back to the room before he could stay for a while. So, she had to send someone to inquire from time to time in the Yiqing Pavilion, and when she learned that the Jiang family was asleep again, she ordered someone to invite Zhuang's mother over.

She didn't beat around the bush either, and straightforwardly put out the suspicion of her stepmother, Princess An, who had been a confidant of the Jiang family for many years. Sure enough, Zhuang's mother's face immediately changed. She almost stood up, frowned for a moment and then knelt down guiltily: "Madam, it was my negligence. Two days ago, I served the old lady, and then a girl who married came to kowtow, and the old lady was happy for a while, so she kept someone to talk more, and kept the meal. She coughed a few times, and I didn't pay much attention to it. After that time, the old lady seemed to be a little embarrassed......

"Check it out, but remember not to alarm, even that girl! Chen Lan commanded, saw Zhuang's mother nodding again and again, and added, "Just find out who she usually interacts with, how she got up to meet the old lady, whether she was sick at that time, what kind of disease, and how she is now, you have to find out the same!" …”

Under the cover of night, the bright tile lamps on the corridors throughout the mirror garden are gradually lit, but most of the front yard is in darkness because the owner is not there. Therefore, when the people on the second gate suddenly saw a few lanterns not far away, they were all surprised and curious, and when they recognized the people in the middle of the lanterns, the group of people were all happy.

"It's my lord! ……

"The lord is back! …”

Chen Lan, who had slept for a while, dimly felt that there was one more person beside him, and opened his eyes almost without thinking. Seeing that familiar figure, the feeling of going up and down when he just lay down suddenly disappeared. In response to his light kiss, she asked softly, "Why did you come back?" …”

"In the evening, His Majesty summoned me, and then let me go home, which happened to fulfill my wish." Yang Jinzhou gently rubbed Chen Lan's smooth forehead, and then said, "I know all about the Yangning Hou Mansion today, and I just went to see it."

You too, just worry about these and that, forget it, this matter is still hidden from ......me, "I know, I know, I know, as soon as I come back, I will be verbose, how can others believe that you are a cold-faced Yang when they see it!" …。 Chen Lan glanced at him angrily, and handed him a large pillow beside him, "Do you want to stay for a while or stay for a night?" If you have to leave tonight, stay with me for a while, and let's talk ......! ~！
