Chapter Seventy-Four: Sisters Fight (Part II)
He Ping'an replied without thinking about it: "Tangerine peel is naturally useful, and after drying, it is concocted, that is, the tangerine peel in our usual medicine, don't look at the tangerine peel can not be boiled alone in a bowl of medicine, but as far as I know, many medicine recipes will not be missing a taste of tangerine peel." β
Lu Yuan tore the large piece of orange peel in his hand into small pieces and threw them into the charcoal basin in He Ping'an's room, watching the small pieces of orange peel turn into ashes in the charcoal basin before turning around: "Look, now, it's useless at all." By the way, I heard that you are close in age to your eldest uncle's daughter and your aunt's daughter, but you are not very close?"
"I'm a little older than them, and sometimes I may have a better relationship with the other sisters, as for the two of them, one has been frail and sickly since childhood, and it is really difficult to become a climate, and the other is also the granddaughter of the Marquis, but she grew up in Jiangyin since she was a child, and she has no great knowledge. β
Lu Yuan stood up from the embroidery pier and paced slowly in the room: "The granddaughter of the Marquis of Jiangyin, the more knowledgeable the better. But the less knowledgeable you are, the closer you have to get to her. β
He Ping'an was a little surprised, she has always been proud, Shi Qi and He Changan have never been able to get into her eyes, does Lu Yuan mean to let her deliberately please Shi Qi?
"I really don't understand what Your Highness means by that. β
"The eldest grandson of the Marquis of Anshun, the only son of Princess Zhaochang, has been sent to the palace since he was a child to be a companion to the second child, if you want to say who knows the second child best, then only he Xu Linche and the cousin of your family's big house, now your eldest brother has retreated bravely, and when the second child was ousted from the crown prince, he has already switched to the fourth prince, but after all, it is not on my side, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not return to the second child one day. It's Xu Linche, the flag is not clear now......"
He Ping'an also stood up and followed Lu Yuan to pace slowly in the room, and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness's intention is to take Cousin Xu for your own use? What's more, Cousin Xu has been with His Second Highness for so many years after all, even if the flag is not clear now, Your Highness, aren't you afraid that he is a hidden stake that His Second Highness has ambushed by your side?"
Lu Yuan laughed: "This concubine of this palace is really right, and she knows how to think about it so much for this palace before she has passed the door." But don't worry, the princess is naturally smart, how can this prince of this palace be a straw bag? When did this palace say that it would take Xu Linche for its own use? But this palace can take advantage of the second child to drink wind in the frontier, and give Xu Linche a little more favor, and regardless of whether Xu Linche's own mind will be active, when the second child comes back, I see that Xu Linche and I have more or less had something to do with it, such a person, do you think the second child will still use it?"
After this period of Mama Zheng's teaching, Shi Qi has gradually understood the environment she is in, as well as the environment in which her husband lives, Mama Zheng is a person sent by the queen, and the queen's consistent principle of dealing with people is to balance the middle and balance without waves, so most of what Mama Zheng taught is also such thoughts: "Miss Shi married into the Xu family in the future and became Mrs. Xu, in any case, that is a faΓ§ade of the Marquis of Anshun, in this world, in fact, no matter how you choose, loyalty must be the first priority, otherwise you are only afraid of an unstable foothold, why take the broad road?" β
So when she heard He Ping'an propose to lend her her mother, Shi Qi was not surprised, but felt that He Ping'an today was very abnormal. Although she didn't know what He Ping'an's purpose was in proposing this stubble, when she was in Jiangyin before, every time her father was courteous to her mother, there would be another new aunt in the family in a few days.
"My sister thanks my cousin Ping'an for her kindness, but my sister thinks that Mama Zheng is a reward from the queen's mother, and the so-called elders dare not resign, if I openly invite my cousin's grandmother to come to the house, I am afraid that the queen's mother will feel uncomfortable in her heart, and Mama Zheng is also an experienced old mother, and her cousin is not as good as her cousin, she is the one who wants to marry the prince, and Mama Zheng is already rich. β
He Ping'an shook his head regretfully: "This is fate...... I think about it at the beginning, my mother still wants Cousin Qi to marry into the Great Prince's Mansion, even if she is a side concubine, it is also the infinite glory of the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, but it's a pity, hey...... Creation makes people......"
What is revealed in these words is all showing off, but it is indeed the truth, Xu Linche is now unofficial and untitled, and he is just a young master who lives on the Marquis of Anshun's mansion.
Seeing such a soft and gentle He Ping'an, He Changan couldn't help but want to test her, and said with a smile: "Cousin Ping'an, don't you want to know, what Cousin Qi doesn't need to learn and you must learn, what is it?"
He Ping'an glanced at He Changan vigilantly: "What is it?"
He Changan showed an even more exaggerated smile: " After all, the cousin is going to marry into the royal family, although she is the eldest princess and concubine who is marrying the royal jade, but on the royal jade, the prince also has two side concubines who are named, if the eldest prince is crowned the prince in the future, there will be two more side concubines, I am afraid that the aunt invited the grandmother for the cousin must be to teach the cousin how to open her mind and take the initiative to choose a side concubine for His Royal Highness the eldest prince. Cousin Qi wants to marry into the Marquis of Anshun's mansion, although it is not royal, but it also has the benefits of a small family, as long as Cousin Qi does not make seven mistakes in the future, and does not take concubines for the Xu family, the Xu family can't say anything. β
He Chang'an's words are like a thorn in He Ping'an's heart, He Ping'an loves Lu Yuan wholeheartedly, and what he is most afraid of is that there is a side concubine to share Lu Yuan with her, and every day she wonders whether the court will give a side concubine down before she gets married.
He Changan covered his face: "You...... You're hitting me?"
But she was overjoyed in her heart, at least she could confirm that He Ping'an's previous docile performance was just a layer of camouflage, as for the reason why she could have such a performance, as long as she had the heart to investigate, she would definitely be able to find out. But if she hid it like before, she wouldn't be able to figure out what she was thinking in He Ping'an's heart.
Although the eldest princess of Zhaoxing is a high-flying and domineering character, after all, she grew up in the palace and has been used to seeing those calculations since she was a child, and the city government is naturally very deep, but compared with her mother, He Ping'an's mind is obviously inferior, as long as she is slightly tempted, she will show her feet.
The Yichun Marquis Mansion wants to control the Gongchang Bo Mansion, easily manipulate the Bai family, and get involved in her family's affairs, which she absolutely cannot tolerate!
He Ping'an revealed his true form: "What's wrong with me just beating you? Anyway, I am now also the eldest princess of the Holy Decree to the world, although it is said that I have not yet held a ceremony with the eldest prince, but that is also the royal daughter-in-law of the royal family, and you, just the daughter of a little earl, have committed the above crimes, and I don't know how to be humble, can't I beat you?"
"Shut up!" a majestic voice came from behind him, and it was actually Princess Zhaocheng who spoke.
Princess Zhaochang took Huang Shiyu's hand and walked in first, followed by Princess Zhaoning and Liu Yanling.
He Changan hurriedly took Shi Qi's hand and saluted together: "I've seen the two eldest princesses, today is very lively, the three eldest princesses have gathered in our Gongchang Bo Mansion, it's really brilliant." β
When he was luggage, he deliberately covered the half of his face that was hit by He Ping'an.
When the eldest princess of Zhaoning saw He Chang'an's appearance, she understood and said, "What's wrong with Miss Chang'an's face? Why do you cover it with your hands, but you don't feel cold when you feel that your face is cold?"
He Changan hurriedly shook his head with a look of trepidation: "No." It's just that Chang'an fell on the ice earlier, and he had some color on his face, and he felt embarrassed to let the two eldest princesses see it, so he covered it up. β
The eldest princess of Zhaoning hurriedly went over and broke He Chang'an's hand covering her face: "How can you be injured and blindly afraid of being seen and blocking your face?"
He Changan didn't cover his face tightly, but the eldest princess of Zhaoning took down the hand covering her face without much effort: "Huh, this doesn't look like a bruise, but like a slap from someone." β
He Ping'an, who was standing on the other side, felt like he had been scratched by a cat, even if she hit He Chang'an, as long as she was in the He family, she would still be able to suppress it, but now that the two eldest princesses have intervened, then Lu Yuan will definitely know about it, I'm afraid that Lu Yuan is going to be disappointed in herself......
"When the palace just came in, it seemed that I heard our future princess say that someone committed a crime, and I don't know if I'm very bad, Miss Ping'an hasn't married the princess yet, and she has already relied on the power of the princess, but the palace has been a princess for decades, and it has never been like the future princess, but the palace has to think about it, whether it is to play to the emperor and let the emperor take back his life. After all, misbehaving outside under the banner of the royal family is a loss of royal face. β
He Changan secretly applauded in his heart, worthy of being the princess of Zhaochang, and he didn't say anything about He Ping'an's beating, but every word was poked at the sore spot!
