The last sentence Chen Jiayu said looking at Lei Yingying, her eyes were full of gratitude to her, although she was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her biological mother died early and was not valued since she was a child, she was obviously the original daughter of Chen Yanzhi's wife, but she was not even as good as a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even people outside did not know that the high-ranking and powerful Prime Minister Chen had a daughter-in-law.

She and Lei Yingying became friends by fate, and it was always the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion who protected her intentionally or unintentionally, and later learned that she was in love with Prince Alcohol, so she took the initiative to go to the palace to withdraw from her family, and even helped her become the princess, and she herself later married to Yunzhou.

Lei Yingying seemed to have been punctured by someone, and waved her hand impatiently and said: "What kind or unkind, I don't have a good impression of your Chen family, anyway, I don't like Prince Alcohol, anyway, you have too many eyes, anyway, I can't compare to you, and I can't talk about you!" ”

Lin Shuran could hear that Lei Yingying didn't really hate Chen Jiayu, on the contrary, she seemed to care a lot about this princess, although she didn't like the Chen family either, but she didn't hate this Chen Jiayu in front of her.

"Yingying is such an awkward person, don't mind the princess!" Lin Shuran started a round on the side, and asked Chen Jiayu to sit down with a smile.

Chen Jiayu smiled and replied: "I know this, if Mrs. Xu doesn't mind, I'm older than you, how about calling you the sister of the Lin family?" ”

"Chen Jiayu, what do you want to do, don't be in a hurry to get close to Sister Ran!" Lei Yingying also knows Chen Jiayu, maybe she has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child, so she also learned to calculate people, although it was to protect herself, but Lei Yingying didn't want her to calculate her friends.

Chen Jiayu showed a hurt expression on her face, she is indeed a calculating person, but she is also sincere, and she also hopes to have sincere friends.

"I don't want to do anything, I just - I want to be friends with you again, all these years, you went to Yunzhou, I'm really lonely!" Chen Jiayu sighed a little lost, she married into the palace and married the person she liked, but her married life was not as sweet and happy as she imagined, this prince's mansion was just another prime minister's mansion, and she was isolated.

Lei Yingying was a little unconvinced, and asked her suspiciously: "Is Prince Alcohol not good to you?" I think you were very affectionate at the beginning! ”

Chen Jiayu did not treat the two as outsiders, maybe they were lonely in the back house for too long, and when they saw familiar and close people, they inevitably had to say a few more words, she had seen through a lot of things over the years, and said with a bitter smile: "How can it be bad, when I got married and had nothing to do, he brought in one sister after another, and had one concubine after another, you didn't marry him at the beginning, I heard that Lord Du is very good to you, you have lovely children, and I have nothing but the identity of a princess!" ”

Chen Jiayu thought that if it weren't for her father being the prime minister of the dynasty, I was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to keep the identity of the princess of the prince.

Lei Yingying was silent, she really didn't expect Chen Jiayu to be like this after marrying into Prince Alcohol's Mansion, she was concerned about Xiao Chen, but in fact, she didn't want to marry Prince Alcohol in her heart, so after seeing her friend fall in love with Prince Alcohol's son, she helped Chen Jiayu several times, and finally let her marry into the palace as she wished, and although she did not marry Xiao Chen, she also met the infatuated Du Sheng, and her life was very satisfying.

At this moment, she felt a sense of guilt for Chen Jiayu, as if she also had a share of responsibility for her current unhappiness.

"Have you never had children? What did the doctor say? Lei Yingying couldn't help but care about her.

Chen Jiayu saw that Lei Yingying's tone softened when she spoke to her, and she said with a smile on the corner of her eyes: "The doctor said that my body has suffered from the cold since I was a child, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get pregnant in this life." How can I not chill, I am often pushed into the pond! ”

Chen Jiayu said lightly, but Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran looked at each other speechlessly and sighed, everyone has their own unknown experience, and they are also very sympathetic to Chen Jiayu's experience.

"Don't talk about these unhappy people, as long as your father is still the prime minister, you are the wife of this alcohol prince's mansion, and no one can do anything to you! By the way, I heard that Prince Alcohol's Mansion has not held a flower and silk banquet for many years, why do you think about it this year? Lei Yingying changed the subject.

Chen Jiayu knew that Lei Yingying didn't want to mention her sadness, she looked very aggressive, but she was always kind and would think about others, so even if she would be said to be dead-faced, she wanted to continue to be friends with Lei Yingying.

She raised her eyes to look at Lin Shuran, smiled meaningfully and said, "This is not to find a reason to meet General Xu's wife, this flower and silk banquet was specially organized by my mother-in-law for Mrs. Xu." ”

"Princess Alcohol? Why did she hold a flower and silk banquet for Sister Ran? Lei Yingying was confused for a moment.

Lin Shuran smiled and said nothing, what else, naturally it was just to let Xu Junze and his dragon guards "show mercy".

Sure enough, Chen Jiayu then told them that there were a lot of fields under the name of Prince Alcohol's Mansion, which was nearly a thousand hectares of land, and the palace had relied on these fields to feed the whole mansion for so many years, and as a royal nobleman, these fields were tax-free before.

Now the emperor is bent on implementing the new decree, and the nobles are unwilling to sell the land under their names, so they have to pay taxes on excess land, which is a big expense for any family, and the outside of Prince Alcohol's Mansion is rich and noble, but in fact, the inside has long been empty, Long Jiawei has already come to Prince Alcohol's Mansion, so that the palace will pay all the taxes owed this year before the year, otherwise the law will deal with it.

Lin Shuran didn't expect Chen Jiayu to even tell them bluntly about the family affairs of the palace, this is really treating the two of them as outsiders, and listening to her tone, she didn't care if the prince's mansion was prosperous or defeated, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"My mother-in-law wants to please the general's wife, and let General Xu say a few more kind words in front of the emperor, after all, the old prince is the emperor's elder, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, just go through the motions for your own family." Chen Jiayu was sarcastic in her words.

Lin Shuran thought for a while and said: "In this case, why don't you ask the Queen Mother for this matter, how can you say that the Queen Mother's words will be more effective?!" ”

"My mother-in-law has already entered the palace, but the Queen Mother said that the new decree is a national event that benefits the country and the people, and as a descendant of the royal family, he should support the emperor, after all, this is the foundation of the Zhao family, and even the Queen Mother's family has already paid all the taxes owed, my mother-in-law only then thought of General Xu, he is a popular person in front of the emperor, who can he ask for if he doesn't ask for it!" Chen Jiayu explained.
