Lin Shuran has had Xu Manman, and she will get up earlier than usual every morning, and when she woke up and opened her eyes, she found that Xu Junze was no longer around her.

As far as she knows, in addition to the Zhenguo Mansion, Xu Junze, and Yaowang Mansion, there are still some young officials with unstable foundations who have been standing firmly behind the emperor, and the others have their own thoughts, either to remain neutral and wait and see, or to get close to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, or there are forces behind them that they want to support, in short, although the emperor is the monarch, most of the civil and military officials are not of the same mind as him, so he will be much more passive in the matter of the prince, and he will be restrained by Wei Qianjie, the Marquis of Dingyuan.

Xu Junze didn't talk much about things in the court with Lin Shuran, and Lin Shuran rarely took the initiative to ask, because even if he didn't ask her, he had his own way to know.

Yesterday was the wedding of Wei Xiong, the prince of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and today Lin Shuran has a small banquet to go, and she promised the Qiu family to take Xu Manman and several children of the Xu family to the Zhenguo Mansion to play.

So, after breakfast and prepared some gifts, Lin Shuran took the children to the Zhenguo Mansion, Qiu and Lei Yingying were waiting for her in the mansion, Lei Haobai and Du Yuan even asked for a day off for Mr. after hearing about it, waiting to play with Xu Manman and the Xu brothers.

There is also a place for children to play in the Zhenguo Mansion, although Xu Manman has no nurse, but Honggu took the initiative to take care of her, and only when the child is hungry will she go to Lin Shuran.

In the room, the Duchess of Zhenguo, Yang Shi, together with her daughter-in-law Qiu, daughters Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran, sat as guests, and the maids and mothers-in-law were guarding outside.

"Sister Ran, do you know that something strange happened in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion last night?" After sitting down, Lei Yingying asked with a deliberate smile.

The Yang family and the Qiu family smiled helplessly, glanced at Lei Yingying first, and then looked at Lin Shuran, and sure enough, they found that she shook her head and said that she didn't know, and her eyes were clear, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion suppressed the news, but I am afraid that within one day, everyone in the capital will know.

Lei Yingying didn't wait for Lin Shuran to ask what was going on, so she took the initiative to say: "Last night, the prince of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion entered the right cave room but slept with the wrong bride, this bride somehow changed from Chen Jiating, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to Zhao Kerou of the Anning Mansion, the old lady of the Anning Mansion did not forgive, but the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had no choice but to accept Zhao Kerou as the concubine of the prince, this Zhao Kerou really practiced himself and calculated himself as a concubine. ”

After the incident, no matter what Zhao Kerou said, everyone didn't believe that she was innocent, I heard that she knocked the bride Chen Jiating unconscious and changed into her wedding dress, Wei Xiong was drunk, and he was not willing to marry Chen Jiating, so he didn't see the appearance of the fresh lady and went into the room, and only found out that the bride had changed the next day.

Lin Shuran didn't expect Zhao Kerou to be so bold now, and dare to do things like stealing beams and changing pillars in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it seems that this ancient woman was also very bold and reckless for the sake of her purpose, but Chen Jiating, the princess, was afraid that she would not agree.

Sure enough, Lei Yingying told her again that after the Prime Minister's Mansion knew the news, the Ruan family came to the Hou Mansion, and slapped Zhao Kerou twice in front of everyone, blaming her for breaking her daughter's cave room and spending candle nights.

Now that things have changed, the groom's official Wei Xiong doesn't care about it, and the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife have no choice but to take Zhao Kerou as a concubine and leave it, and appease Ruan and Chen Jiating, and choose another good day and auspicious room.

Even if the concubines of the Hou Mansion are poor people, they will have a soft sedan chair to enter the mansion, but Zhao Kerou stayed in the Hou Mansion directly, and the name is not right, but this is the condition for the Ruan family not to pursue the matter, and An Ningbo's side has to agree, otherwise this matter will spread, and the Bofu will have no face at all.

"This is said to have just happened, how can you be so well-informed?" Lei Yingying is a good gossip character, Lin Shuran knows it, but after all, this is a private matter in the back house of the Hou Mansion of Dingyuan, and the Hou Mansion will not publicize it, how did Lei Yingying know.

Qiu Shi answered Lin Shuran's questions on the side and said: "The purchasing mothers-in-law of the various prefectures in the capital will go out of the mansion to procure before dawn, but if there is a person who is not strict-mouthed, what happened in these houses is not all known for a long time, nothing unusual." ”

Lin Shuran nodded in understanding, and then Yang straightened his face, looked at Lin Shuran with a serious face and said, "Sister Ran, I invite you here today, I have something that I need your help with." ”

"Auntie, please speak!" Lin Shuran replied when he saw Yang's solemn tone.

The Yang family, the Qiu family, and Lei Yingying exchanged glances, and then looked at Lin Shuran and said: "These days, the ministers of the court and the central government are bent on letting the emperor set up a prince, and the queen mother and the emperor are very embarrassed, two days ago, the queen mother summoned me into the palace, hoping that I can persuade the housewives to persuade their husbands to stand on the emperor's side, this matter cannot be done with great fanfare, and my power is limited, so I hope you can help me do this together." ”

"Sister Ran, you are the smartest and have a lot of ideas, I think it is most appropriate for you to help do this!" Lei Yingying is Lin Shuran, who is strongly recommended to the Yang family, although Xu Junze is not very popular outside because of his personality, but Lin Shuran, the general's wife, has left a good impression on these noblewomen in the capital.

"I'm worried that if I don't do it well, I will miss a big thing!" What Yang has made herself do can be big or small, she has never done it before, and she doesn't know if she can do it well.

"Sister Ran, I believe that you can do a good job, and the Queen Mother also believes it!" Yang's meaningful words made Lin Shuran understand that this matter was also decided by the Queen Mother, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing her agree, Lei Yingying immediately looked at her and asked, "Sister Ran, what do you say you should do?" Why don't you get all these women together and beat them well? ”

"Don't follow random ideas, if you can achieve the goal with a few beatings, things will be simple!" The Yang family glared at his daughter slightly, which of those women and mothers is not a human spirit, and what he thinks about is the livelihood and future of the descendants of the first house, this time it is different from the past, standing on the wrong team is connected with the honor and disgrace of the nine clans, and he is careless.

"Auntie, you believe me so much, I will do my best to do this, as for how to do it, let me think about it after I return home." Everyone is in the same boat, and they should advance and retreat together, not to mention that Lin Shuran also feels that now is not a good time to establish a prince.
