Two sisters were walking together. From a distance, they looked at each other and held hands affectionately. They seemed to be close to each other at first glance. Who would have noticed that the two girls from the Zhennan Hou Mansion had a very good relationship even if they were not biological sisters.
I will walk to the path now, also to better say some thoughtful words to my daughter’s family.
The palace attendants who saw them on the road all felt that the relationship between the sisters was really good, and Princess Mingqing was also really generous. I heard that the current Madam of Zhennan Houfu was not kind to Princess Mingqing.
The fact that the princess is still like this shows that she has a good temperament and a better character. It is no wonder that the Queen Mother chose Princess Mingqing to marry her.
"Cousin, do you know that Miss Yu is going to marry the Crown Prince of Qi?" Zhang Wanyin smiled, her eyes fell softly on Zhang Wanying, but what she said was not the thoughtful and considerate words that others expected.
"I know, everyone in the capital has said so. I heard all kinds of rumors just after I entered the capital, including Miss Yu's and my cousin's." Zhang Wanying said.
"There are the most rumors in the capital. They are true or false. Even if they are not true, they will be made up out of thin air." Zhang Wanyin said softly.
"My cousin is absolutely right. I didn't know before that the reputation of our Zhennan Hou Mansion was also very bad." Zhang Wanyin looked innocent, "Obviously my father and mother are very good to my cousin. I wanted to give my cousin a promise before.
The marriage is also very good, I don’t know why I keep saying it like that.”
Zhang Wanyin turned her head to the side, coughed twice, and nodded lightly: "This means that the rumors may not be credible, but some rumors are not credible, such as the Crown Prince of Qi."
"What about Prince Qi?" Zhang Wanying asked in confusion, no longer worrying about the reputation of Zhennan Hou Mansion.
"The Crown Prince of Qi is the Empress Dowager's favorite grandson and the only legitimate son of the King of Qi. He has a distinguished status. Miss Yu San can marry the Crown Prince of Qi. She is really lucky enough to make the Crown Prince of Qi relax. There are so many people in the capital.
Of all the daughters of the aristocratic family, Miss Yu is the only one."
"I heard that from now on I will only dote on the backyard and will never marry another person." Zhang Wanyin continued.
"What?" Zhang Wanying thought she heard wrongly and repeated, "Never marry again?"
"Yes, that is to say, I will never marry twice. All the dignity and favor will be given to Miss Yu. You can imagine how blessed Miss Yu will be in the future."
"Real or fake?" Zhang Wanying finally became interested and said in surprise.
"Of course it is true. Many people in the capital know that compared to Miss Yu San, other people's blessings are nothing. As the prince of Qi, he can say such things, which shows how sincere he is." Zhang Wanying said.
.
Zhang Wanying blinked and joked: "How can such a good cousin of Prince Qi..."
"Cousin, please be careful, this is the harem." Zhang Wanyin quickly stopped.
"Okay, I won't say any more. My cousin wants to say that Prince Qi is very good. If he can be pitied by Prince Qi, he must be the most blessed person?" Zhang Wanying smiled.
Zhang Wanyin pursed her lips, sighed and said regretfully: "I am indeed blessed, but this blessing is not something that others can have."
Zhang Wanying looked at Zhang Wanyin suspiciously, isn't she the Crown Prince of Qi?
"What do you mean, cousin?" Zhang Wanying asked softly, pressing the corner of her lips gently with a handkerchief.
"You are not young anymore. It would be best if you could stay in the capital. However, I used to be in the palace and only knew a few people. Moreover, I am still a girl who has not left the palace, so some words are inconvenient.
If you say more, I won't be able to help you even if I want to, but it's different if it's Miss Yu San."
Zhang Wanyin looked naturally affectionate, as if the two of them really had no grudges.
At first, when the two of them had not met and exchanged letters, they were very polite. However, when Zhang Wanyin returned to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, the relationship between the two cousins was not harmonious. They had conflicts from time to time. Now that they have been away for a while,
It's just like a close and warm sisterly relationship.
Of course, only they know whether they are really affectionate or whether they need each other to be so affectionate.
To a certain extent, Zhang Wanying is almost a replica of Zhang Wanyin, very capable of acting according to circumstances and very scheming.
Seeing Zhang Wanyin like this, Zhang Wanying couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Why?"
"Miss Yu San is very lucky. She is going to marry the Crown Prince of Qi. The Crown Prince of Qi thinks so highly of her that no one dares to take a look at her. Anyone who sees her is willing to make friends with her. Moreover, she also has a eldest princess.
My grandmother, my biological mother is the daughter of a great scholar of the Xie family. With such an identity, as long as she speaks for you, there will definitely be good news."
Zhang Wanyin said that she knew the purpose of her aunt bringing Zhang Wanying to Beijing.
What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and there was nothing excessive about it. It seemed that he was truly speaking on the side of Mrs. Zhennan Hou and Zhang Wanying.
Zhang Wanying, however, was dubious, "Isn't Miss Yu San also a young girl? Just like my cousin, isn't it easy for her to say such words?"
"Miss Yu is different. She has elders. I heard that the current stewardess of Xuanping Hou Mansion also obeys Miss Yu. As long as she comes forward, for Miss Yu's sake, those big aristocratic families will definitely be willing
I look at you, and with your cousin’s talents and looks, who wouldn’t be right for you?”
Zhang Wanyin laughed.
Zhang Wanying liked hearing this and felt that it was true. Her talent, appearance and conduct were just one chance away. If Yu Xijiao really gave her a chance, it would be a good idea.
In fact, she had this idea of becoming friends with Yu Xijiao.
"Cousin, if you marry in the capital in the future, you will definitely get close to Prince Duan's Mansion, and we sisters can be together. No matter what, you are also my only cousin." Zhang Wanyin's last few words were heavy.
Some.
Zhang Wanying understood that she was currently the only legitimate daughter of Mrs. Zhennan Hou. As for the other concubines, they had nothing to do with her. They were just children of playthings. Her mother told her not to worry about them.
"Cousin, I was wrong." There is a lot of benefit in this. After Zhang Wanying blinked her eyes, she simply admitted her mistake with guilt on her face, "I heard some bad rumors outside and thought that my cousin was really with me.
We got separated and couldn't help but mock my cousin a few times, but now I realize that my cousin is sincerely doing her best for me."
Zhang Wanying is always quick to admit her mistakes, and she is extremely sincere every time, as if she is the most sincere.
Zhang Wanyin didn't care, and patted her hand gently, with a face full of joy: "Why are you saying these things? You are my sister. You staying in the capital will only be good for me. If you can marry in the capital in the future,
I am a good family, and His Highness Prince Duan will look upon me highly. As for the rumors outside, it doesn’t matter, as long as we feel that we are relatives.”
"My aunt traveled thousands of miles to conduct the marriage for me. I can only be grateful. I have been in the capital for so many years. I feel guilty for not being able to marry her. It is right for my cousin to blame me now. It is inconvenient for me to come out and explain directly when I am in the palace. I hope my cousin
I can explain something to my aunt."
I don’t know if it’s because of the rumors, but the Queen Mother doesn’t want Mrs. Zhennanhou to talk to Zhang Wanyin. Until now, Mrs. Zhennanhou has not found a way to talk to Zhang Wanyin in private. She is often tripped up by the people around the Queen Mother, either because of this or because of this.
In that matter, on the day of the wedding, Mrs. Zhennanhou had to take charge of the overall situation. The Queen Mother gave Mrs. Zhennanhou a lot of things.
When Mrs. Zhennanhou found time to talk to Zhang Wanyin, people from the Queen Mother were watching her. Mrs. Zhennanhou hinted at Zhang Wanyin's words about her daughter. Zhang Wanyin just pretended that she didn't understand. Anyway, the Queen Mother's people were there. Mrs. Zhennanhou
You can't talk too much and show your face, let alone suppress Zhang Wanyin based on your seniority.
Of course, Zhang Wanyin's intention was that she was not willing to talk to Mrs. Zhennan Hou, let alone help her marry Zhang Wanying into the capital.
But now, I feel that this matter is not without merit...
She thinks Zhang Wanying is only interested in profit, but in fact she is not...
"Cousin, there is no need for a family to speak two different dialects. My mother and I both understand my cousin's situation in Beijing." Zhang Wanying followed her words.
Every word and deed between the two people was full of intimacy, without the slightest hint of indifference, as if they really thought about each other wholeheartedly.
The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. When they returned to An Palace, Mrs. Zhennanhou was already waiting in the side hall. When she saw the two sisters coming in affectionately, Mrs. Zhennanhou also showed a smile on her face.
smile.
It was already late, and the aunt beside the Queen Mother was at the side. Mrs. Zhennan Hou could only say a few words of courtesy to Zhang Wanyin before leaving.
Zhang Wanyin still wanted to serve the Queen Mother's medicinal meal, but her nanny reminded her that it was almost time.
Zhang Wanyin sent Zhennan Hou's mother and daughter to the palace sedan. Mrs. Zhennan Hou expressed her concern for Zhang Wanyin again before getting on the sedan. The two sisters separated reluctantly. Zhang Wanyin stepped aside and the palace sedan got up.
Going outside, Mrs. Zhennanhou is very busy. The Queen Mother has left all the wedding matters to her, and she has to go to the palace these days.
I got off the palace sedan, walked out of the palace gate, and got on the carriage at the door.
After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Zhennan asked her daughter in a deep voice: "How do you say it?"
"I said Miss Yu San is very useful and can make friends with Miss Yu San. He said that the Prince of Qi liked Miss Yu San very much and asked Miss Yu San to ask the wife of their family to come forward. For the sake of San Miss Yu, others will definitely
Will you agree to meet me?" Zhang Wanying leaned back, with a bit of sarcasm on her face.
Mrs. Zhennan Hou frowned: "This matter is not impossible."
She didn't expect to be so busy before coming to Beijing. What's more important is that she hasn't found a suitable matchmaker to help with the matchmaking. After Zhang Wanyin's wedding, if she hasn't found a suitable candidate, she will have to leave Beijing. It will be difficult for her to have the opportunity in the future.
Mrs. Nanhou was also really worried.
"Mother, do you think it's really feasible?" Zhang Wanying asked back.
Originally she had planned this, but now that Zhang Wanyin also suggested it, she had to think more about it, and some unexpected ideas suddenly appeared...
She actually doesn’t believe Zhang Wanyin!
"It is indeed feasible. The wife of Xuanping Houfu, the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess Anhe, the second girl Yu entered the Duan Palace, and I heard that she was very favored. She almost became the princess before, and the third girl Yu married Prince Qi.
Prince, this one is the most favored by the Queen Mother. For the sake of these two people, as long as the Zhou family opens his mouth, it should be okay."
Mrs. Zhennanhou analyzed.
After Zhang Wanying met Yu Xijiao, she asked someone to investigate the affairs of the Xuanpinghou Mansion, and she also found out that the current wife in charge of the Xuanping Mansion was named Zhou.
If Yu Xijiao could be favored and asked to ask Zhou to come forward, it would be feasible.
"Mother, I don't think so." Zhang Wanying shook her head and her face darkened, "Don't you think this is strange, mother?"
"What's the strange thing?" Mrs. Zhennan Hou asked, and then sneered, "Is it possible that she really dared to push us away and really offended us?"
