Xin Nian nodded sympathetically, held her hand and said solemnly: "I understand, aunt, you did the right thing. With the concubine's status at that time, there were ten such things, which may not be able to bring her down, let alone without any evidence.

If you just show it with a painting without any evidence, you are really seeking death."

Aunt Qin nodded repeatedly and said to Xin Nian: "I originally wanted to keep this matter in my stomach, but... something happened to Liu Chai again. I just want to remind you, never underestimate the concubine.

Thinking that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, if the concubine is ruthless, she is really... really capable..."

"I understand." Xin Nian said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, aunt, I will take precautions. But please don't mention this matter again. You know that I know, as long as God knows and the earth knows. Otherwise, we will be able to do it alone."

Gu, once the concubine is made determined, we are no match for her, after all, she is the prince’s biological mother.”

"I know, I know, how can I not understand the power of this? I tell you to tell you to take precautions carefully and not to be careless. Since you know it all, I will never talk about it again even to death."

"Okay." Xin Nian smiled slightly: "Thank you, aunt. Don't worry about the third sister's marriage. I will definitely supervise the prince. I have also inquired about the prince's intentions behind the scenes, and he also said that the third sister is a good person and cannot be wronged.

If you leave her, not to mention that the Prince's Palace will be ridiculed, even after death, you will not have the shame to see the late king under the Nine Springs."

What she said made Aunt Qin unable to hold back her tears, and she choked with sobs: "Your Majesty is worthy of being raised by the late king. He... He is really a good boy who is upright and upright. Thank you so much, Aunt Qin..."

"Don't say such harsh words. Now you and I share weal and woe."

Xin Nian comforted Aunt Qin and asked her to wash her face before sending her back in person and asking Gu Yunxiang to take good care of her.

Returning to Qingliangyuan, I happened to see a daughter-in-law coming from the kitchen to bring snacks. She stopped her and said to Xinghua: "Last time, the prince sent you a good bird's nest. I don't need it. Take it out and ask someone to bring it."

In the kitchen, I will cook a bowl of bird's nest porridge for Aunt Qin every day from now on. She is not in good health these days and needs to be nourished."

"yes."

Xinghua agreed, found the bird's nest and gave it to her daughter-in-law to take back, and then asked softly: "What's wrong with Aunt Qin? Auntie is suddenly so concerned about her."

"It's not a big deal." Xin Nian said calmly: "She came over and said some heart-to-heart words to me, and then remembered the sad things before. I was afraid that she would get angry because of the stress, so I gave her some rest."

"Oh." Xinghua nodded, and suddenly heard Xin Nian say again: "Should the prince go to grandma's yard tonight? He hasn't been there for a while."

Xinghua shrugged: "Then who knows? Anyway, so many things have happened. I don't think the prince may be happy with grandma."

Xin Nian sighed and sat down on the couch: "Unfortunately, grandma is also his wife and cousin. If you don't give the other party the title of princess, the prince is already expressing his dissatisfaction under pressure."

Xinghua walked over to pour tea for Xin Nian and murmured: "I wonder if grandma will restrain herself because of this. If she is smart, she would have stopped making trouble as soon as possible. As long as she is grandma, such a big palace will never be the same in the future."

Most of them belong to her and the eldest and fourth young masters, so why do we have to harm others? If we harm the old ones, no new ones will come in?"

Xin Nian smiled and said: "You see clearly, but people like grandma and concubine don't think so. This is probably a common problem of many people in high positions. They always suspect that someone wants to take something away from them, so they must first

It’s better to strike first and eliminate the so-called potential threats.”

"What is the common problem of people in high positions? It is obvious that they judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."

Xinghua muttered, but heard Xin Nian laugh and say: "Don't be unconvinced, look at the rich and powerful families in the capital. Are there not enough secret and dirty things that harm others and themselves? Some of them are like your aunt and me.

In this way, Guangfeng Jiyue is upright and upright?"

Xinghua laughed out loud, shook her head and said: "Although it is the truth, I shouldn't say it myself. If someone hears it, wouldn't it be bragging? What's more, what about your glory and beauty? The concubine and grandma are not the same.

I regard you as a thorn in my flesh."

"Then I can't control it." Xin Nian drank all the tea: "I only know that I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will not spare her."

When she said the last sentence, her voice was much deeper. Xinghua saw the evil spirit hidden in the corners of her eyebrows and her eyes, and her heart jumped. She wanted to give some advice, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it out loud. She thought to herself: People are going to extend their evil hands to the young master and the girl.

It hurt my head, but I still advised my aunt to endure it. Am I still a human being? Even that clay figurine still has a third part of earthiness.

Thinking about this, Xin Nian returned to his normal expression and asked Xinghua: "By the way, I remember that among the fabrics given by the prince years ago, there was a piece of fine black brocade. Where is it? Find it for me.

.”

"What does Auntie want with this? Although the brocade is good, it is only suitable for making clothes for the third and sixth young masters. If you want to wear it, the color is too old."

Xin Nian laughed and said, "Don't you understand? Not only boys are suitable for wearing black. If that black satin can be used as a short-game training uniform, I will look very handsome in it. I'll find it if I ask you to find it."

"Okay." Xinghua had no choice but to come to the cabinet. It didn't take long before she came to Xin Nian holding a piece of black brocade: "Auntie, let's see if it's this one?"

"That's it." Xin Nian took it and said with a smile: "My previous two sets of short clothes are old. This satin is thicker and stronger. Let Jinzhen rush to make it in the next few days, just in time to wear it until the Dragon Boat Festival."

"yes."

Xinghua was about to pick up the brocade and look for the golden needle, when she suddenly heard someone calling her in the courtyard. Xin Nian smiled and said, "Go ahead, I can just tell the golden needle myself. It's no big deal."

"Okay, that slave will leave first."

Xinghua agreed and turned around to go out. Here Xin Nian gently stroked the smooth brocade, with a look of contemplation on his face, and gradually, a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Toffee, the bed is already warm. You can go to sleep."

Concubine Liao was sitting on the couch, lost in thought by the candlelight. When she heard the girl's words, she sighed and said softly: "Go to bed early. You won't be able to fall asleep in the middle of the night. Just wait."

The girl Qiuyue smiled and said: "It's already the end of Xu Shi. After you fall asleep, keep it until dawn. If the concubine is still not at ease, would you like me to light a piece of sleeping incense for you?"

"Need not."

Concubine Liao flatly refused and said sternly: "Is this your first day serving me? Don't you know that I never use sleeping incense?"

"Yes. I forgot. I only thought about..."

"What's there to think about? Back off."

"yes."

Qiuyue retreated in panic, where Concubine Liao stretched out her hands to rub her temples, closed her eyes and leaned on the soft pillow.

Sleeping incense, she hadn't heard of it in a long time. On that thrilling night that year, she was restless, so she ordered sleeping incense, but unexpectedly, she was haunted by nightmares in her dreams. From then on, she never used it again.
