"To my lord, this mother-in-law's business, that's it, and look to my lord for forgiveness." Mrs. Yu said with guilt on her face.

Mrs. Yu glanced deeply at Mrs. Yu: "Since it is Mrs. Yu's intention, the official will not pursue this matter for the time being, but a man should have mixed in your house, dressed as a maid, and finally left through the back door after stealing in the house." ”

"Lord Xiang, the Hou Mansion is full of disasters and difficulties, Xuan'er is not here, and the old woman is also powerless, and she has sent a lot of people to search and visit outside, but it is also a helpless thing, the mother-in-law is the person who presides over this matter around the old body, but whenever there is some news, she will be sent to visit."

Mrs. Yu closed her eyes in pain, and her breathing became heavy.

Looking at her old appearance and the scarf wrapped around her forehead, she said to the adults: "Mrs. Yu is bothered. ”

"Don't bother to say anything, this is what the old man promised Boyang at the beginning, and he ended up at the border...... Such an end, the old body and soul are sad, now there is only one heir left in Xuan'er, and the entire Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is looking forward to his return, he can't make a mistake, otherwise...... Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape the guilt of the old body. ”

After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, two cloudy tears fell from her eyes.

Lord Xiang sighed and stood up: "Mrs. Tai, the lower official still has something to do, and I want to inquire again." ”

"Your Excellency, please." Mrs. Yu turned sideways to hide the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Lord Xiang came out of the house, looked at the chaotic courtyard, the servants and panicked subordinates he brought, and suddenly felt very boring, investigating the case, if the master family is not willing to investigate deeply, why should he bother so much, looked up at the sky, raised his legs and walked out.

"My lord, what about the mother-in-law?" A servant quickly ran over and asked.

"Just check with those dozen people again, and if there is nothing abnormal, let them go." Flick your sleeves to the adult.

"My lord, that woman is suspicious." The official said incomprehensibly, this woman did not match the preface and afterword, and many places could not be connected, so she knew that there was a problem at a glance.

"The lady in their house said that there are some things that she is inconvenient for her to tell us, this mother-in-law was specially sent by her to find the prince of Zhengyuan Hou, but if there are some clues, she will definitely check them, some have clues, some do not, in order to prevent danger to the prince of Zhengyuan, she is specially not allowed to talk nonsense."

Xiang sneered.

It was this Mrs. Yu who had the accident, and it was also Mrs. Yu who was beaten, but it was also this Mrs. Yu who prevented him from investigating the case, and it was clear that there was something to hide from him, how could he not understand it in his heart.

"My lord, what about now...... What to do? The official asked.

"If it's okay for a while, let the person go, and then secretly stare at this mother-in-law, if she really has something, she will definitely leave the house, and after leaving the house, she will stare at where she went."

Xiang sneered, no matter what Mrs. Yu thought, since this matter has reached his territory, it is not Mrs. Yu's decision.

Repeated accidents, repeated investigations, not to mention the adults, even the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are under double pressure, and they urgently need to crack a case, so that the emperor knows that these yamen who maintain law and order are not dry meals.

Compared with the assassination and assassination cases, this case involves much less.

Check, it is necessary to check......

The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion was in chaos again, and the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion next door ushered in the eldest princess of Minghe and the queen mother's reward.

The Empress Dowager's reward was directly given to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and it was inconvenient for Yu Ruiwen to lie in bed, so Mrs. Zhou took the three girls to welcome the guests.

The eldest princess of Ming and brought her granddaughter Xu Anjiao over, and the two sides sat down separately, and Yahuan stepped back after sending tea.

"Yu Xijiao, the prince of Qi has a bad temperament, and he behaves freely, and the matter of disturbing the third girl Yu in the rain that day, the queen mother has already known about it, and specially sent me to bring the jewelry to be rewarded."

After the eldest princess Ming and the eldest princess looked Yu Xijiao up and down a few times, she put down the tea cup in her hand heavily.

"Don't dare to be the queen mother's reward." Yu Xijiao hurriedly stood up.

"Since the Queen Mother has been rewarded, you should be grateful." The eldest princess of Ming and said in a low voice.

"Thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother." Yu Xijiao knelt down.

The eldest princess of Minghe stretched out her hand, and the three palace maids stepped forward, each holding a carved brocade box in their hands, and placed it on the table in the middle.

Open the lid on the top and drop it off separately.

Each carved brocade box is a set of jewelry, gorgeous necklaces, delicate hairpins, Huasheng with gold wire curtains, each of which is full of extreme gorgeousness, all of which are one in a thousand jewelry.

This messenger was specially asked by the eldest princess of Ming and the eldest princess, and she also knew that the queen mother was extraordinary, but she didn't expect it to be so extraordinary, and for a while she remembered her granddaughter's appearance that she didn't want to eat during this time, and her eyes were angry, originally these should have belonged to her granddaughter, but now they fell into the hands of Yu Xijiao.

Seeing her granddaughter bowing her head sadly, the eldest princess of Ming He became more and more annoyed.

coughed lowly: "Third Miss Yu, do you know why the Queen Mother wants to reward these jewelry?" ”

Yu Xijiao had already been helped to stand up at this time, her eyes swept over the jewelry on the table, and she shook her head: "The little girl doesn't know." ”

"Look at how many sisters you have in your house?" The eldest princess of Minghe asked lightly.

"There are three sisters in the little girl's mansion." Yu Xijiao didn't think there was anything to ask, but since the eldest princess Ming and the eldest princess asked, she would listen to it.

"Since the Queen Mother has rewarded three sets, and there are three sisters in your house, the three girls still don't understand the deep meaning of this?" The eldest princess Minghe asked with a smile, the look on her face looked much kinder, "The queen mother always told me about Miss Yu, who is not only a smart girl, but also a dignified and decent. ”

The eldest princess of Ming and the eldest princess meant something.

Yu Xijiao's face was dazed, she blinked her eyes, and then her face was full of emotion: "The Queen Mother praised it." ”

The eldest princess of Minghe felt that the girl in front of her was a little stupid, and her words had already reached this point, but she didn't understand it, but she was outstanding, but her brain didn't work very well, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "I don't know if the queen mother is a false praise, I just know that since the sisters are harmonious, this jewelry should be one for each of your sisters in the house, so as not to let people say that the queen mother is biased." ”

Sure enough, it's time to assign jewelry to yourself.

And the name he used was still his own willingness, and his eyes thoughtfully swept over the waiter standing beside the eldest princess of Minghe, who was the person sent by the Empress Dowager Yuanzheng......

"That's what my aunt said." Yu Xijiao nodded and smiled.

"In this case, then I will divide it for you, the most noble person in your house in the future is the second girl, the second girl naturally has to choose first, then the third girl, and finally the eldest girl, is it feasible?" The eldest princess of Ming and the eldest princess pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and said slowly.

A Duan Wang side concubine pressed on the head of the princess of the King of Qi, not to say that it is impossible, but it cannot be said that it is all right, it just depends on how others understand.

The Queen Mother has always loved Chong Feng Yu, and she is more favored than the other princes, whether it is interesting or not, at least on the surface.

If he admits it like this, it means that the side concubine of King Rui is really higher than the princess of King Qi, and this is still recognized by himself, the princess of King Qi, which in turn means that Feng Yu is far inferior to Duan Wang Feng Lanxiu, at most he is just the status of a guard beside him.

This is a humiliating and slap in the face for the entire Qi Palace.

If it is serious, it will even affect the status of the Qi Wangfu in the country.

As soon as he came up, he suppressed himself, and he had to agree willingly, Yu Xijiao hooked her lips and smiled, raised her head slightly, and said bluntly: "Aunt and grandmother, this ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate? ”

The smile on the face of the eldest princess of Minghe froze, she didn't expect Yu Xijiao's courage to be so big, her eyes looked at Yu Xijiao coldly, Yu Xijiao was calm, her smile was as gentle as ever, neither humble nor arrogant.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, Xu Anjiao's gaze slid over Yu Xijiao's delicate and beautiful little face, and a trace of mockery hooked on her lips, which was really overwhelming.

"Yu Xijiao, what do you mean?" The eldest princess of Ming He's face sank, and finally spoke.

"Aunt and grandmother, the little girl thinks that these jewelry, since they are given by the Queen Mother and the little girl, should not be separated, otherwise she will not be able to live with the Queen Mother's reward." Yu Xijiao's fingers were lightly drawn in the air, and the smile was full of a bit of harmless playfulness and indifference.

"The Queen Mother specially rewarded three pieces." The words of the eldest princess of Ming and the eldest princess were almost squeezed out of her teeth.

"Aunt and grandmother, why did the Queen Mother reward you?" Yu Xijiao showed a trace of astonishment on her face, and asked after thinking about it.

"It's because of the prince of Qi." The eldest princess of Ming and the eldest princess said word by word, and her eyes fell on Yu Xijiao's body with pressure.

Yu Xijiao didn't seem to feel anything: "Since it was the Queen Mother's reward because of the prince of Qi, why did she give the second sister, the future Duanwang concubine?" And let King Duan's side concubine choose first, I don't know if this is the meaning of the Queen Mother, or the meaning of King Duan? ”

Yu Xijiao blinked her beautiful eyes, and her smile became more and more innocent, "Although the little girl was born in the capital, she grew up in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is extremely important to etiquette, and the Xie family is a century-old family. ”

Jiangnan Xie is famous all over the world.

"Yu Xijiao, what nonsense are you talking about, my grandmother kindly helped you share the jewelry, how can you be so exquisite." As soon as she heard this, Xu Anjiao immediately knew that it was not good, and immediately stood up and accused angrily.

The eldest princess of Minghe stared at Yu Xijiao coldly, and did not say a word.

It was the chamberlain who followed the eldest princess Minghe, and his smiling eyes narrowed.

"Is my aunt going to make the decision for the little girl?" Yu Xijiao raised her head in astonishment, and after speaking, she seemed to think of something, and stepped back, "If my aunt and grandmother think that a side concubine of King Duan can suppress the princess of the princess, the little girl has nothing to say, and the eldest princess of Minghe will please." ”

These words gave birth to the army of the eldest princess of Minghe, and turned Yu Xijiao's "own willingness" into the eldest princess of Minghe "forcibly distributed according to her own will......
