Chapter 205: No Quarrel with the World
The Lantern Festival passed, and in a blink of an eye it was the second day of February, and after eating spring cakes, it happened that the fifth day of the second month was a good day, and everything was suitable, so on this day, Xin Nian took the children back to Qingliang Pavilion.
Gu Yunxian and Liao Jiaru Yao Yutong watched from afar as the sturdy servants carried their burdens and shuttled back and forth in the garden, Yao Yutong said softly: "Finally, this henchman is removed, and in the future, the backyard of the palace will be the world of my aunt and grandmother."
"Don't rejoice too soon." Liao Jiaru snorted coldly: "My cousin didn't give up her rights, the most important warehouse and kitchen, the key is still in her hands. If you look at the performance of these minions, you will know that if the masters who have lost their power and let them do these jobs, they would have complained a long time ago, and now they are willing to do it, isn't it because she still has power in her hands and has not lost power?"
Gu Yunxian said disapprerovingly: "After all, I spoiled her, and there are three children by her side. Changting couldn't bear it for a while, and he was really reluctant to let her, so he wouldn't let her move back to the remote Qingliang Pavilion, separated from the backyard by a whole garden, and it would take two quarters of an hour in the past. How many trips can you get there? Naturally, I let it go."
Liao shook his head and said, "You can't underestimate the Xin family like this, if there is no great benefit, where is she willing to give up the backyard?" I've been wondering for the past few days, maybe she's not disheartened, but retreating. After all, ......."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yao Yutong and smiled, "Everyone knows that my cousin likes Yao Niangzi, isn't it because you refused to deal with him at the beginning? It's called wanting to get away with it."
Gu Yunxian couldn't help but laugh and said, "If she really has this idea, then she is very wrong. Retreat? Then there has to be a chance to advance. Will we give her that chance? She retreated, just in time for Yao Niangzi to make up for it, but I want to thank her for making room for Yao Niangzi."
Yao Yutong's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly lowered his head and whispered, "Why did my aunt laugh at me?"
"It's not a joke, you have to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can't still look ahead and backward like before, today's Changting is different from the past, he is a prince, impatient to accommodate people, and it is good for him to get people to go."
In the face of Gu Yunxian's "earnest teachings", what can Yao Yutong say? She could only bow her head shyly, and replied "Yes" in a mosquito voice.
Gu Yunxian looked at Liao Jiaru again and said with a smile: "Jiaru doesn't have to be jealous, there is no Yao Niangzi, and my cousin is also a favorite of Xin Nian, I can't say that in the future, you will end up with a favored concubine and killing your wife; There is Yao Niangzi, she has a gentle temperament, and her identity restrictions are here, and she will not compete with you for the position of princess. As long as you fight for yourself, in a few years, your children will be born, and this princess will be in your pocket sooner or later."
Liao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I'll borrow my aunt's auspicious words."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, here Gu Yunxian watched quietly for a while, and saw Xin Nian and the children Aunt Qin talking and laughing and going to Qingliang Pavilion, Aunt Gu and Gu Yuchen personally sent them off, she suddenly said to Yao Yutong, "See? When Xin went, Liao Jiaru's attitude towards us immediately changed."
Yao Yutong whispered, "You can't be in such a hurry, right? Before the river is finished, how can anyone tear down the bridge first?"
"You don't know her, she's such a mouse-eyed thing, but we don't have to be afraid."
Seeing that there was gradually no one in the garden, Gu Yunxian turned around and said lightly, "Let's go." Xin Nian is not dead now, Liao Jiaru always has to be a little more taboo, and you don't have to rush to Changting these days......
"Huh?" Yao Yutong was puzzled: "Didn't the county lord let me go to ...... just now?"
"It wasn't like these days." Gu Yunxian shook his head: "Changting still has filial piety with him, what if you go to approach her and are bitten by Liao Jiaru?" I have to make her realize that Xin Nian still has residual power, and she is willing to arrange for you to become a member of the long pavilion, and then it will be a good opportunity for you to let go of your hands and feet and show your skills."
Yao Yutong's face flushed, and he lowered his head as if he was shy and timid, but in fact, his eyes were cold, and he thoughtfully pulled his little abacus in his heart.

"Mother, mother, look, the blades of grass are showing their heads."
The twilight was falling, and Xin Nianzheng and Aunt Qin were in the warm pavilion
While being a female celebrity and gossiping about homely things, I heard Yaya's excited voice, and then the three children ran in from outside, Yaya held a handful of withered grass in her hand and handed it to Xin Nian to see, Aunt Qin hurriedly stretched her neck and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, it's really green, too, it's late February, and it's March, and there should be flowers and bones on the apricot tree."
Xin Nian smiled, "The sunny tree is about to be there. But the rose in the courtyard hasn't moved."
After speaking, let the little girl take the dry grass in the girl's hand and clean it up, while shaking her head and saying, "Just upset, let you pick it off." How can you only look at the grass? Didn't you see the wild vegetables growing on the sunny slope?"
"It's growing."
It was Gu Yufeng who answered, Xin Nian was a little surprised, and then smiled: "Looking at Brother Feng'er's little blushing, I thought it had been outside for a long time, and the sun was shining, it turned out to be happy, how do you like this?"
Gu Yufeng nodded vigorously, a childish smile rarely appeared on the face of a young man, and the maid giggled on the side: "The third brother also wrote a poem, but it sounds good, the two slopes of Xiangyang are all wild vegetables, mother-in-law, purslane, and purslane, and Kuding......
Aunt Qin hurriedly said, "Wait, this ...... What are these? Potherb? I've only heard of this in the countryside, and we've grown it in the house?"
Xin Nian and the children laughed together, Xin Nian smiled, "These seeds are floating all over the world, where don't they grow? Even in the palace garden, I don't know how many."
Gu Yufeng said with a smile: "The sixth brother and the fourth sister said that this wild vegetable is dug up while it is still tender, washed and dipped in sauce and eaten very well, I think there must be it in the garden, after a while, when the wild vegetables grow up, we will dig a few baskets, and when the father comes, let's serve a plate, so that the father can also be clear and defeated, isn't it good?"
Aunt Qin's face was a little uncomfortable, but Xin Nian nodded and smiled, "Okay, why is it not good? The prince knows that you are so filial, and he is a little comforted in his heart. Okay, let's go wash our hands, and we'll have dinner in a moment."
"Yes."
When the children went out, Aunt Qin leaned over and whispered, "The prince hasn't come over for the past few days, hasn't he?"
Xin Nian nodded, and Aunt Qin couldn't help but sigh when she saw that she didn't care at all, "I really look like you've moved here, and you're becoming more and more indisputable with the world. I remember that in the first two days when we moved here, the prince obviously came to accompany you."
Xin Nian smiled, "It's not that there is no quarrel with the world. Last time, the prince said that he was going to live in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing these days, and I also asked him not to come over if he was fine. Why did we move here? If the prince always runs here, am I not in vain? So these days, I won't let him come."
The corners of Aunt Qin's mouth twitched twice, she was a victim of the house fight, and she knew how difficult it was for this woman who had lost her protection and relied on in the deep house, so she said helplessly, "What should I say about you? You have a really big heart, then Yao Niangzi is the tiger on the road of love between you and the prince, and now you are eyeing the tiger, but you push the prince away?"
"I can't bear to let the prince catch the wolf." Xin Nian smiled slightly, then raised his head, looked out the window and said leisurely: "Moreover, I believe in the prince, although even I feel surprised, I just inexplicably believe that he will not live up to me. Forget it, just wait and see."
