If Prince Heng wants to rebel, it is definitely not something that can be ended in two or three months, it is as short as a year and a half, Ming Lanying is anxious to return to the side, but she can't urge them to hurry up, so she can only occasionally pay attention to the situation of the Ming family.

Since the Ming family house was demoted, she has not heard from Ming Zhengqing for a long time, Hebai inquired a little, and knew that the Ming family house is now living a humble life in the Ming Mansion, although the Ming family did not expel their family from the Ming family, but the good face was not given at all, and they also cut off the connection between them and several children.

Ming Zhengqing originally wanted to come to Ming Lanying, let Ming Lanying support them in the name of his father, and let Ye Jielu, the son-in-law, plead in front of the emperor, but this matter was known by Ye Jielu in advance, and let people intercept the letter in advance and send it to the third master of the Ming family.

The rest of the story is unclear, but it can be found that Ming Zhengqing and Jiang Heyu are about to be sent to another courtyard on the outskirts of the city to farm.

Hebai came back with the news to share with Ming Lanying, and he couldn't stop laughing after he finished speaking.

"I heard that Zhengqing's idiot, I still want to ask you to ask my brother to intercede, where did you get your face? Last time, the stinky and shameless invited you over and broke up unhappily, and you can be cheeky to ask your sister-in-law to raise them, it's really stinky and shameless, laugh at me hahahahaha-"

Ming Lan Ying is also speechless to the father of the original owner, no wonder the Ming family can raise the original Ming Lan Ying like that, there must be a father and a son!

Anyway, the mother who loves the original owner the most is long gone, and she really doesn't take Ming Zhengqing's dispensable father seriously, but she won't let go of Jiang Heyu, a bad woman who destroys other people's families.

inquired about the location of their courtyard, and used the lark whistle to summon a wave of insect animals, which added to the farming life of the two.

Hebai gave a thumbs up, "It's worthy of being a sister-in-law, and revenge will be avenged!" ”

Ming Lanying casually flipped through the account books, "Don't talk nonsense, I just had some fun in their lives, and I didn't kill them." ”

Hebai applauded silently, her sister-in-law didn't suffer at all, she was so handsome!

Ming Lanying can sometimes listen to Jiazhen's affairs from Hebai, and I heard that because the third master of Ming was reused by the emperor, Ming Jiazhen's good reputation in the capital has risen to a higher level, and the matchmaker who proposes marriage is about to break through the threshold, and the Ming family is stunned and can't look down on anyone.

Ming Jiazhen didn't succeed in dealing with Ming Lanying last time, and she still didn't give up and came to look for her several times, but she didn't stop until she saw her, and Ming Lanying hid in the palace in disgust, just didn't meet her.

The queen nodded her forehead funny, "You, if you really don't want to see it, it's better to just say that you broke it and sent it away, or I sent it for you." ”

Ming Lanying sat and let her order, laughing, "Niangniang just look at it with peace of mind, don't worry about it, she will come if she wants to see me, anyway, I will always go out of the house before her, the more time she wastes on me, it proves that she is fully prepared to plot against me, and I will not stop if I don't take off a layer of skin, I am not stupid!" ”

Ming Jiazhen's small means Empress didn't look at it, but could guess that the Ming family cultivated her so carefully, and it should be the position of the emperor's favorite concubine in the harem, and Prince Heng now has the heart of rebellion, as for which emperor's favorite concubine to be, it is not very important in the eyes of the Ming family.

The Ming family calculates for a long time, but the queen doesn't care, the previous dynasty was supported by the emperor, and the concubines who ate people in the harem were all in her hands, and Ming Jiazhen's little city government couldn't enter her eyes, which was the confidence given by the powerful mother behind her and the emperor's trust and favor.

The queen teased: "I estimate that if you continue to avoid her, your gossip will soon circulate in the streets, Mrs. Ye Commander, who has a weak heart." ”

Ming Lanying hooked her lips and smiled, "Niangniang, look at it, is she knowing more about me, or I know that she has a lot of ugly things." ”

The queen was also relieved to see her confident appearance, "I guess you can deal with Ming Jiazhen's little tricks, but in recent days, I learned that Prince Heng brought all the concubines who were useful to him in the mansion with him, just to give him more help on the road to rebellion and a better chance of winning." ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "He really does everything, even squeezing out the forces behind the concubine?!" ”

"Of course, otherwise why would he marry so many wives and concubines? It's just that do you know why he brought so many people with him to the side? It can't be used to fool others. ”

"Could it be that every concubine is useful?"

"Naturally, guess how many of them are the daughters of the governors of the prefectures and counties?"

"Governors and prefects of prefectures and counties? All these people gave their daughters to Prince Heng? This! Ming Lanying was shocked, the wives and concubines around Prince Heng were so profound!

"Of course, just send a daughter, you can climb to the honorable Prince Heng, this transaction is a sure profit."

The queen smiled, and Ming Lanying gave her the feeling that she was smart for a while, sometimes clever and ignorant, very sensitive to money, but not very understanding of the unspoken rules of the deep palace.

Ming Lanying opened her mouth suddenly, "There are only a dozen wives and concubines brought by Prince Heng, and half of them can't be the daughters of the prefect and governor, right?" ”

The queen smiled mysteriously, "You should be bold in your guess." ”

Ming Lanying was even more shocked when she thought about it, and said, "...... More than a dozen, all of them! ”

The queen pursed her lips and maintained an elegant smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "On the way from Yongzhou City to the capital, there are four governors, thirty-six prefects, and two hundred and seventy-eight prefects, and the more than a dozen concubines that Prince Heng brought with him this time are all the daughters of these local officials." ”

Ming Lanying was shocked, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "He is paving the way for leading troops into Beijing!" ”

The queen smiled and acquiesced in her statement, "The concubines in his backyard are all purposefully selected, and they can all be useful at critical times, which is also what the emperor only discovered in the past two years." ”

Ming Lanying frowned, Prince Heng's backyard is comparable to the harem of Shuangwen male frequency! He only needs to use his brain, make a decision and then sell his body, and the rest will be settled by the power behind his wife and concubine, and passers-by will clap their hands and say cool when they see it!

Ming Lanying muttered: "Can you still use a concubine like this......"

The queen also smiled helplessly, sometimes marrying a wife and taking a concubine is not because she likes it, but how useful the other party can bring to herself, Prince Heng is like this, and so is the emperor. It's just that she is a little luckier, her mother's family can help the emperor, and she has also won the emperor's love.

"Now it seems that Ming Jiazhen is much smarter than you, you, your intelligence is only in money!"

Ming Lanying smiled, "I don't have anything to look at, I can only look at the account books, people's hearts are unpredictable, only silver money will not betray me." ”

The queen smiled helplessly and pinched her gently, "Recently, there are people in the court who are not afraid of death, and they have impeached Ye Juelu for colluding with the rebels and thieves in the side, and they often exchange letters, using the Hai Dongqing you brought out of the palace." ”

Ming Lanying was stunned for a moment, clenched the skirt on her knees, and did not kneel down immediately under the pressure in her heart, this kneeling may have broken the friendship between them and made the friendship that had been established with great difficulty become panicked.

"That's what the courtiers used to communicate with the sisters of Biansai, and it has nothing to do with the princess! The courtiers only made a good sister who knew each other in Biansai, and it was Zhao Dongxia, the granddaughter of Imperial Physician Zhao of the former Tai Hospital, who was the daughter of a criminal minister, and was exiled to the ...... of Biansai with Imperial Physician Zhao."

The queen squeezed her stiff shoulders comfortingly, "Don't worry, the emperor and I both believe in you, don't be afraid, I just want to tell you first, so that you can be a little mentally prepared, you used Hai Dongqing and Biansai to send a message, Ye Jielu has already reported to the emperor, we all know it." ”

"Really, really?" Ming Lanying was prone to lose rational judgment when she was nervous, and when she saw that there was no extra emotion in the queen's eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was negligent, I asked the emperor for Hai Dongqing but forgot to explain what it was for, and I was caught by someone with a heart." ”

The queen smiled and stretched out her hand to brush the broken hair in her ear for her, "The situation in the DPRK and China is turbulent, and the people who impeached Ye Jielu are all the people of the Ming family and Prince Heng, and the emperor has been waiting for the opportunity to deal with them. ”

Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the emperor and empress didn't doubt them, they were still their own people.

"Don't be aggrieved, you don't feel aggrieved if you can help, but you may not be able to enter the palace to accompany your mother at any time recently, so as not to cause gossip to your mother." Ming Lanying smiled honestly.

She knows that she doesn't have the ability to fight, it's okay to pretend to be stupid, she has read so many account books in her previous life, and she still knows and shouldn't know some things, and she still understands.

When Ye Jielu picked her up later, the sky had already darkened, the cold wind blew across her cheeks, and the cold air was inhaled into her lungs, making her brain much clearer.

"Ye Juelu, the queen said that someone in the court impeached you."

"Well, you don't have to worry." Ye Jielu replied nonchalantly, Ming Lanying leaned on the door panel behind him, and got closer, Ye Jielu explained to her softly, "Next, I will plan and pretend that I colluded with the traitors in Bian Saina, and then I was demoted to a two-level official position, and I was closed at home, and my people in the court would secretly stir up and continue to impeach me, and the emperor was sending people to Bian Saicha to move Prince Heng's troops in Yongzhou City out openly." ”

"Oh."

Ye Jielu made it clear, but he was afraid that Ming Lanying would worry too much about accidents, so it was better to explain it clearly from the beginning, so as to save some misunderstandings.

The carriage suddenly braked suddenly, and Ming Lanying followed the inertia and pounced on Ye Jielu's back through the curtain.

The back muscles were strong and stiff, and Ming Lanying covered her sore cheeks and asked, "What's wrong......

Ye Jielu guarded the curtain to prevent her from going out, "Ming Jiazhen stopped the car." ”

Ming Lanying snorted, "Annoying." ”

Ye Jielu pinched the horsewhip and sat motionless on the wheel, looking coldly at Ming Jiazhen who suddenly came out of the side of the road, if it wasn't for the carriage running fast, now Ming Jiazhen was lying down and talking, and passers-by were startled by this sudden scene.

Ming Jiazhen looked directly at Ye Juelu with a cold face, the cherry lips under the veil were slightly hooked, and he bowed to Ye Juelu with an elegant posture, and as soon as he opened his mouth as crisp as a yellow bird, he could crisp off half of the body of passers-by.

"The folk girl has seen Commander Ye, speaking of which, Commander Ye is also the brother-in-law of the people's daughter, dare to ask the brother-in-law, is it the eldest sister of the people's daughter in the carriage?"

Ye Jielu soothed the reins and comforted the horse, without looking at her with a straight eye, "I don't know how to be respectful, this official is the commander of the Imperial Guard, who gave you the courage to call your brother-in-law, the wife of this official should be honored Mrs. Ye." ”

Ming Jiazhen's smile froze, and her face almost couldn't hold back, "Yes...... The folk girl was abrupt, and dared to ask Commander Ye, is it Mrs. Ye in the carriage? Recently, the folk girl wanted to invite Mrs. Ye to play with the sisters in Beijing, but she didn't know where she made Mrs. Ye unhappy, and she always couldn't meet anyone. ”

"I don't know the etiquette, didn't anyone teach you to hand over the invitation before inviting someone?"

“…… It was the people's daughter who was careless, thinking that she was like a sister to Mrs. Ye, and she didn't stick to these false courtesies. ”

The smile on Ming Jiazhen's face faded, the veil covered the corners of her stiff mouth, the fingers hidden in her sleeves were clenched, and she clenched into fists unwillingly, this is the second time she has made a fool of herself, and the two times she made a fool of herself was because of Ming Lanying.

"She's the official's wife, what kind of sister are you? Miss Ming is self-respecting. ”

This is a direct reminder of the relationship between the two, Ming Lanying is now Mrs. Ye, and she is a sister to Mrs. Ye, do you want to be a concubine?

In front of others, Ye Jielu never spoke politely, and it was a waste to say one more word.

Ming Jiazhen can't laugh at all now, she has never experienced this feeling of being bluntly humiliated, the maid behind her carefully supported her, her skin was not thick enough, she couldn't stand the eyes of passers-by, and lowered her head and wanted to bury it on the spot.

"Miss, don't be angry, get down to business......"

Ming Jiazhen took a deep breath and said loudly: "It's the people's girl's fault, it's just that the people's girl doesn't have an invitation on her right now, it's rare to meet Mrs. Ye, and I want to directly invite Mrs. Ye to participate in the Spring Festival banquet five days later, I wonder if Mrs. Ye can appreciate her face?" ”

It was so loud that Ming Lanying in the carriage could hear it clearly, but she was not called out by this voice, and she didn't show her face openly with the name of Mrs. Ye.

The Spring Festival Banquet is a banquet set up by the capital Guiquan for the first solar term of spring in the spring.

The emperor will worship heaven and earth on this day, pray for good weather and good weather, and the people will bite spring cakes and whip spring oxen, and those who are idle and bored in the Jinggui circle will set up a spring banquet to welcome the spring.

Generally, this kind of large-scale banquet will be held by the big people in the capital, and there will be hundreds of people to participate, and Hebai heard that this year's Spring Festival banquet was held by the wife of the Dingguo Mansion and the wife of the Yong'an Houfu together.

Ming Jiazhen was determined to make her ugly at this big banquet, and she was stupid to step on the pit.

Ye Jielu heard the whispered voice in the carriage, and raised his eyes to look at Ming Jiazhen coldly, "The official's wife refuses to participate, Miss Ming, please get out of the way." ”

Ming Jiazhen was stunned, how could someone directly refuse someone else's invitation so quickly, or the Spring Festival banquet in a year, don't you think it's too rude!

"Wait! Didn't Mrs. Ye feel too rude to refuse so quickly? Please Mrs. Ye think twice, this Spring Festival banquet was held by Mrs. Dingguo Mansion and Mrs. Yong'an Houfu together, Mrs. Ye doesn't want to give face to the two ladies? I kindly want to ask you to make good friends together, why is Mrs. Ye so faceless. ”

"Miss Ming, please pay attention to your words, the reason why Mrs. Ben refused is that the two ladies have not yet sent an invitation, and Mrs. Ben rashly went to the Spring Festival banquet with you It seems to be rude, right?"

Ming Lanying lifted the carriage curtain in disgust, and everyone who ate melons only felt that the world in front of them suddenly brightened, the short jacket with satin velvet piping in the color of the concubine, with the begonia red painted gold begonia flower Hunan skirt, bright and soft red, lined with people's snow skin and red lips became more and more moving, and the lightly twisted embroidered eyebrows were delicate and moving, and Gu Pansheng was thrilling and beautiful.

Ming Lanying lifted the curtain, put one hand on Ye Jielu's shoulder, and looked at Ming Jiazhen dissatisfied, "Miss Ming, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, Mrs. Ben only refuses your invitation, if it is the invitation of Mrs. Dingguo Mansion or Mrs. Yong'an Houfu, of course Mrs. Ben is flattered and will definitely go to the banquet, but no one said that you can't refuse Miss Ming's invitation!" ”

"Miss Ming is just a girl from the Ming Mansion, even if the two ladies send an invitation, it will only be sent to the Ming family, right? Mrs. Ben is now a member of the Ye family, where did Miss Ming have the ability to take Mrs. Ben to the banquet? That's not polite, is it? ”

Ming Lanying saw that Ming Jiazhen's face was getting more and more ugly, and she casually hooked her red lips and chuckled, "Mrs. Ben knows that Miss Ming wants to get into a relationship with Mrs. Ben, but Miss Ming has to think about it next time." ”
