After the queen mother sent the inner servants to return to say goodbye and leave, the farce of Xu Xiaotang naturally came to an end, and the depressed Yao Ji was of course not so honored to be left by Mrs. Wei for dinner, and was almost called by Cao Yuan into the two servants and concubines to go back to the residence, and the little ladies who heard a good show after the fan, the Qi Niang sisters were relieved - fortunately, the grandmother was powerful, and she didn't teach Yao Ji to succeed, if she really let her concubine die, although she was still not as noble as the mother Junjun, but in the future, wouldn't she be more arrogant and unscrupulous, thinking that with the virtuous concubine as a battle, she could do whatever she wanted!

Siniang and Wuniang have always been cautious, as if they hadn't heard anything, when Cao Yuan came over to invite him to another house for dinner today, he moved with his sisters, and instead of saying a word about what happened earlier, he took the lead in changing the topic, talking about the trivialities of his daughter's hairpin ring incense.

Eleven Niang couldn't interject into her mouth, so she simply tasted what she heard silently - not to mention what the purpose of the Queen Mother was, it seemed that she could be sure that she had something to do with Mrs. Wei, only Yao Ji asked Concubine Xian for help, and it was obviously Qiao's instigation later, but what help did this scene help Qiao's plot to win Ah Zhen's marriage? There is also Mrs. Tai's tough attitude and perseverance, don't you worry about offending the Queen Mother...... Qiao Shi is so convinced that as long as the Queen Mother is persuaded to exert pressure through Princess Weijun, Mrs. Tai will be bound to give in, and she should not be blindly confident.

Thinking about it this way, although the suspicion of the prince and his wife because of the contract between the prince and the wife of Yichuan is shocking, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it is very likely to be the truth.

Mrs. Wei is deeply scheming, and Eleven Niang firmly believes that she will never put the Liu family in danger because of a trivial matter of a concubine's death, so today's attitude should have another deep meaning, it seems that she is playing with the queen mother, and the truth makes people unable to figure out the direction of the chess game for a while.

She was full of doubts and couldn't get the point, and the Xiao family, who was simply left by Mrs. Tai to eat together, was also worried, and it was easy to see Mrs. Tai was satisfied after trying the delicacies, and Xiao Shi almost immediately put down the chopsticks, and helped her mother-in-law to bypass the fan, and there were already servants and concubines in the small hall who had prepared a pulp to drink, and the carved door leaf in the north was open, and the flower branches were slanting outside, and the fragrance was fragrant but was sent in by the cool breeze in the evening.

"Ah Jia, it's just a concubine, the daughter-in-law doesn't care, Yao Ji thinks it's good, if she is arrogant and unscrupulous, the daughter-in-law will still be punished." Xiao Shi was not in the mood to watch this twilight spring sunset, so he couldn't help but express his opinions.

Mrs. Tai leisurely tasted a small sip of the slightly hot agarwood drink prepared at this time, and seemed to have a reminiscence, so she was completely satisfied, and said: "What kind of temperament is the queen mother, I know a little better than you, ordinary and nothing, how to talk about the virtuous concubine tongue lotus, she will never stand out for a person who has no use value, but this time she actually agreed...... It can be seen that my tenth sister instructed Qiao's to instigate Yao Ji this time, not without a target. ”

Xiao Shi bowed: "The daughter-in-law has always been surprised, the sister-in-law just thinks simply, how can Princess Yichuan also think that the queen mother will be bewitched by the virtuous concubine." ”

"The Queen Mother still can't rest assured of me." Mrs. Wei rubbed the corners of her forehead: "It's also to blame that I was young at the time, and I couldn't hide my likes and dislikes." ”

"Why should the Ah family blame themselves, who could have predicted the current situation?"

"But it's not, at the beginning, I only thought that the third sister was too scheming, good at flattery, and I really disdained many behaviors, and where did I think that she would be elected to the harem, the queen mother, and where did I think that she was not only greedy for glory, but also ambitious, shocking to the world." Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows: "If I respond to this today, not only will she not be relieved, but she will be more suspicious, Princess Yichuan is also Wei's daughter in the end, and she is a little clear about the temperament of me and the Queen Mother, she expected that I would not compromise, so she deliberately let Concubine Xian be a stepping stone, and then, she can step on the stone of Concubine Xian to cross the river, help Qiao's persuade the Queen Mother, and obstruct the marriage of Siniang." ”

People who don't know the inside story can only listen to this in a trance, but Xiao Shi thinks about it carefully, but it runs through the beginning and the end, and he can't help but feel even more guilty: "When you blame your daughter-in-law, you should not have persuaded Lang Jun to accept Yao Ji in the first place." ”

Mrs. Wei waved her hand: "You are not an unpredictable prophet, where did you know that there would be a Yuan Xian Concubine at that time, and you can't expect Yao Ji to have such a temperament, and it is also for the sake of Junyi, so as not to worry about a trivial matter, although Yuan Xian Concubine was not sealed at that time, Mao Wei and his party were deeply trusted, otherwise Yuan Dezhi's virtue, how could he be directly promoted from a official to a local official?" I'd rather sin a gentleman than a villain, what is your fault? ”

Although the mother-in-law was magnanimous, Xiao Shi still felt ashamed, but he also knew that it was meaningless to be annoyed at this time, and asked: "The Queen Mother has always been suspicious of us, but she has always pretended to be at ease, why is she tempted at this time?" ”

Mrs. Wei bowed: "You finally think of the key!" Then he said something, and Xiao was stunned by the shock, as if he really understood the true meaning of the eight characters of "great ambition and shocking world" of his mother-in-law earlier, but Mrs. Tai sighed: "Pei Zheng's annihilation of the clan is a foreshadowing, this is sooner or later...... I was only worried about Yun'er, and now I regret that I shouldn't have said those things to her in the first place...... Over the years, she has deliberately distanced herself from you and me, and she should have made up her mind that she is worried that her actions will implicate her family. ”

Xiao still didn't come back to his senses, and his face was as pale as paper.

"In short, we can't stop it openly, we can only do it secretly...... The honor and disgrace of the family and the life of the family, I can't see the damage, let the Liu family follow in the footsteps of Pei Zheng. Mrs. Wei said resolutely: "But if you compromise with your hands, the Liu family will also be a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a famous family, if there is a glimmer of possibility, you can't watch the Queen Mother succeed, she is not Queen Duan Huiwen, if she is allowed to succeed...... Da Zhou, the country is not far away, I dare to assert this as a woman! ”

——

After Xiao Shi and the little ladies left Xuxiao Hall, Mrs. Wei as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened, she still compared Eleven Niang's homework today, and saw that the little granddaughter answered like fluent, Mrs. Tai was very satisfied, and actually beckoned Eleven Niang to sit down with her feet down, and asked: "Today you are behind the fan, have you ever heard of the affairs in the outer hall?" ”

Does this seem to be an intentional test? Eleven Niang's mind moved, of course, this is an opportunity that must be seized, if Mrs. Wei can be satisfied, she may learn more from her mouth in the future.

She replied as a matter of course: "Listen carefully and clearly." ”

"And what do you think, or do you have any doubts?" Mrs. Tai seemed to have expected this answer, and there was no surprise in the slightest, so she leaned back on the hidden pillow, the corners of her slender eyes gently raised, and the brilliance of the lamps and candles in her eyes was still shining.

This time, Eleven Niang didn't answer in a hurry, but pondered for a long time: "I think that the fourth sister seems to understand many things that the fifth sister, the seventh sister, and the ninth sister don't know. ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Tai was extremely interested.

"As soon as the queen mother sent the maid said that she wanted to see her mother, the seventh sister and the ninth sister were anxious, and the fifth sister also felt a little worried.

Although Mrs. Tai was noncommittal, her expression was very comfortable, of course Eleven Niang understood that she was not wrong, it seems that Mrs. Wei really told Ah Hao a lot of inside information, and she attached great importance to this eldest granddaughter.

"What else do you see?" Mrs. Tai asked again.

The granddaughter was surprised, because on the way back to Beijing, she heard Wang Shimu talk about the friendship between the concubine and the concubine, but the eldest mother and the queen mother were sisters, and the queen mother also comforted the granddaughter, not afraid of the threat of the concubine, just far away...... But listening to the tone of the waiter today, it seems to be ...... The mother wants to blame the mother, but the son is really confused, so he talks about the distance between relatives, the mother is the nephew of the queen mother, and the mother is just an old friend of the virtuous concubine, why is the queen mother biased? ”

It is extremely difficult for a five-year-old child to think of this, but Mrs. Wei did not praise it too much, and then asked, "But there are other doubts?" ”

Eleven Niang flashed her eyes, gently pursed the corners of her lips, and a delicate dimple was revealed on the right side, which looked very cute...... Therefore, the granddaughter is eldest but guesses, I don't know if the servants in the family were surrounded by the concubine and passed the word on behalf of the concubine, so there is today's accident. ”

Of course, she understood that Yao Ji was instigated by Qiao's family, but obviously she couldn't say this bluntly with her knowledge at this time, and she suspected that Yao Ji bribed the servants to deliver a message to "ask for help" because of frustration, but it was not too strange.

This "doubt" made Mrs. Wei even more surprised, and she actually sat up straight, but she still didn't have the slightest intention of solving her doubts with Eleven Niang, but said: "Good boy, you are really smart and smart...... These words ...... only today."

"The eldest mother is at ease, and the son will never mention it to a third person."

Mrs. Wei was of course satisfied with her granddaughter's well-behaved feelings, and she stretched out her arms and half-hugged Eleven Niang for the first time: "The eldest mother still has something to ask Yiyi, when Ayin said to you that day, do you think that the second mother instructed you?" ”
