"The matter of the fourth child and the princess, only the queen mother and I mentioned it, let's pretend not to know for the time being, so as not to ruin the reputation of the princess and chew the root of the tongue behind the back." Zhen said.

Although the Queen Mother has made it very clear, if both the fourth child and the princess are willing, she will make a decree to marry.

But Zhen still thinks it's better to be cautious, in case it doesn't work, both sides can get off the stage.

"This is certain, Princess Ming'er came to be invited by Xiao Yuanbao anyway, and it has nothing to do with the fourth." Old Lady Bai agreed with Zhen's statement, and said, "Why don't you send someone to tell the Queen Mother that the princess came to our house for Xiao Yuanbao." ”

No matter what, a princess is a princess.

Even if the Queen Mother had the intention of giving the princess to the fourth child, the Bai family could not hold it up, so as not to make the Queen Mother feel that the eight characters had not yet been formally discussed, but the Bai family let the princess come to see each other first.

It is precisely because the Queen Mother takes the Bai family as her own family that the Queen Mother cannot be displeased.

Zhen felt that his mother-in-law was very thoughtful on this point, so he nodded and sent a proper person to give Mama Chang a breath.

"Fourth, Princess Ming'er is coming to the house, so you can avoid it." Zhen said.

Bai Panmei nodded, this was also what he thought.

Then the old lady Bai called Eugene Gui and Da Lang Saburo into the house, and strictly forbade them to talk nonsense about the princess and the fourth child outside.

"Grandma, it's a good thing that the princess likes our fourth child, why can't you say it?" You Jingui didn't understand, why couldn't she say it, she couldn't wait to tell that Zhen Jiqiu, and let them see what happened to Bai's hometown, and the princess in the countryside still looked at it.

"Second sister-in-law, now the princess sister and the fourth brother have not yet discussed marriage." Xiaofu nodded Eugene Gui.

Zhen was speechless at the second daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Bai wanted to scold directly: "Such a big person, you are not even as good as your sister-in-law." Good things are good, things can't be good things without certainty. If you dare to spread the word outside, you will return to Shenshu Village. ”

Eugene Gui was taken aback, it was so easy to come to the capital, she hadn't taken a good look yet, she didn't want to go back to Shenshu Village.

Besides, I can't even dream of the capital these days, there are maids waiting, there is the queen mother covering, not to mention Shenshu Village, even Huaicheng, she doesn't want to go back.

"Grandma, mother, I promise not to talk nonsense." Eugene Gui patted his chest and promised.

The old lady Bai glanced at her, her eyes turned, and fell on Dalang Saburo, who shrank and also promised: "We won't talk nonsense." ”

Mrs. Bai was very satisfied with her great-grandson's statement.

After Aunt Chen, Chen Jing'er, Chen Xuan'er's mother and daughter returned to the hotel on Zhuque Street from the palace, Father-in-law Hong came to announce the decree in the evening, and the Queen Mother gave the Chen family a three-entry house.

It's right in Sweetwater Lane.

You can move in when the renovation is complete.

After Father-in-law Hong left, Aunt Chen couldn't hold back her disappointment.

"Mother, why are you unhappy, we finally have our own home in the capital." Chen Xuan'er said excitedly.

Chen Jing'er also couldn't suppress the surprise on her face, with a house, she could make friends in the capital.

Even if those wealthy families don't look down on her at the beginning, as long as she brings out the name of the queen mother, others will sell her some face.

As long as she has the opportunity to make friends, she can plan for the future.

Looking at the two daughters with happy faces, Aunt Chen said: "That house is too small, and it can't be compared with the Bai family's house in Qingyun Lane. ”

The house in Sweet Water Lane is not an outsider, it is the courtyard that an old lady of Zhen Mansion repaired in his later years.

Although it is not big, it is enough for Aunt Chen's mother and daughter to live.

What's more, this house is elegant and quiet, not far from the troublesome neighborhood, and life is very convenient.

It was precisely because the Queen Mother considered that Aunt Chen was a descendant of the Zhen family that she gave this former mansion of the Zhen family to their mother and daughter.

But Aunt Chen didn't appreciate it at all, but felt that the house rewarded by the Queen Mother was too small.

But I don't want to think that the Bai family's house was bought by myself.

The Queen Mother naturally wanted to give the Bai family a mansion, but was politely rejected by the Zhen family.

Aunt Chen is a person who only looks at what others have, but does not look at where other people's things come from.

"Mother, don't worry about the size first, we finally have a foothold." Chen Jing'er said.

"The Queen Mother's aunt is eccentric, and she loves her sister when she is young. You see that her eyes are full of sisters today, where is me. Aunt Chen complained to Chen Jing'er.

The Queen Mother's affection for Zhen's aunt and nephew naturally fell into Chen Jing'er's eyes.

But in good conscience, Chen Jing'er felt that her mother's "performance" in front of the Queen Mother today was too much, and she only told her mother that she didn't need to say anything when she was wearing plain cold clothes, which would naturally arouse the pity of the Queen Mother.

In addition, she was exposed by the second cousin of the Bai family in public, and she panicked for Aunt Chen.

"Mother, now I don't care if the Queen Mother is partial or not, let's not forget what we came to the capital for? Now that we have arrived in the capital, I will never live a life of being despised and trampled on. Chen Jing'er's eyes were burning and shining, and her teeth were chattering.

She remembered that in the past, the Zhang family was just a family of Lizheng, but they looked down on her as a small merchant girl in every way. For the sake of her status in the Zhang family, she tried her best to please her father-in-law, and even opened her mouth to let the Qinglou girl enter the door.

She swore that if she won the power one day, she would trample them all under her feet.

Now this opportunity is in front of her, and she must seize it.

"Mother, if we live in a small house now, it doesn't mean that we will live in a small house in the future. Mother, don't envy your aunt's family, I think the palace where the Queen Mother lives is what people yearn for. Chen Xuan'er said.

Chen Jing'er glanced at Chen Xuan'er.

Today, Chen Xuan'er's thoughts in front of the emperor can be seen at a glance.

In her mind, she still wants to learn from the Queen Mother.

"Sister, do you mean that to the emperor?" Chen Jing'er asked directly.

Chen Xuan'er lowered her head shyly.

Aunt Chen said on the side: "Xuan'er, I originally wanted to tell you a good story in the evening, who is the emperor, it's not something you can think about."

Chen Xuan'er raised her head and said unconvinced: "What? My mother just thinks that my sister can do anything, but I can't? The emperor praised me today. ”

"Your Majesty, that's your cousin." Aunt Chen sighed.

"What about my cousin, there was a niece in the previous dynasty who married the emperor's uncle and became the queen." Chen Xuan'er was full of words, and a pair of beautiful eyes flowed.

"The Queen Mother definitely disagrees." Aunt Chen is also a little moved, unlike Chen Jing'er, for Chen Xuan'er's thoughts about the emperor, Aunt Chen's only scruples and fears are the queen mother.

As long as the Queen Mother nodded, she didn't mind stuffing Chen Xuan'er into the harem.

"As long as the emperor likes it, what about the queen mother." Chen Xuan'er said.

Originally, she thought that Bai Panmei was the best candidate for a husband, but now when she met the emperor, she realized that she used to live at the bottom of the well.

"Sister, take your mind first, after all, the first day you see the emperor, no one can figure out his thoughts." Chen Jing'er said.

Chen Xuan'er looked noncommittal.

Chen Jing'er's mind turned, this sister is too ignorant of the sky.

Looks like we're going to have to get her out early.

"Mother, let's hand over a post to the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion today."

Chen Jing'er said.
