Hearing what she said, the Queen Mother was very happy: "You kid...you have been able to talk since you were a child."
"The Queen Mother, it's not Wanyin who can speak. These are Wanyin's heartfelt words. It's the Queen Mother's grace that Wanyin is today. Without the Queen Mother, Wanyin still doesn't know where she is now."
After cutting the fruit, I washed my hands in the warm water basin given by the palace maid, then took a small fork from another palace maid's hand, put it on the fruit, and placed it carefully.
"The Queen Mother, you always use medicated food. In fact, you should also use more fresh fruits. Only when your body is well will we be well." Zhang Wanyin pushed the fruit bowl in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother picked up a fork on the fruit and took a bite with a smile. She didn't think about the seventh princess and was in a pretty good mood.
"You don't have to take care of the Ai family all the time. What can happen to the Ai family in the palace! Clean up the affairs in your house and do whatever you want. The main concubine is the main concubine, and the side concubine is just the side concubine. Already
Let’s not talk about the ones who passed away. The two who are staying in the house now must not mess with the rules."
The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Wanyin with a smile and taught.
"Concubine Xu is really pitiful, and Wanyin went to take her back." Zhang Wanyin sighed softly, saying that the Empress Dowager would not say anything about people who have passed away.
"I've only heard that after the main wife passed away, the side wife or the second wife welcomed her spirit body into the door. I've never heard that the main wife needed to do this. Minghe really didn't know what to say." The Queen Mother did have opinions on this matter, but
Zhang Wanyin also agreed to this in front of everyone.
"The Queen Mother feels sorry for Wanyin. Wanyin understands that at that time, in front of so many people, the prince was forced to do that. If Wanyin didn't come forward, it would be the prince's face that would be lost." Finally, someone felt sad,
Zhang Wanyin's eyes were red, she reached out quickly and pressed the handkerchief at the corner of her eyes, bit her lip, lowered her head and felt sad.
During this period, others only paid attention to Li Xiangyi, Yu Xijiao, and some even paid attention to Yu Lizhu, but they did not pay attention to how aggrieved she felt when she was the concubine.
"You kid... If you have any grievances, please tell King Duan that the couple should discuss it after discussing it. For example, regarding the matter of Concubine Xu, when a concubine was dispatched at that time, Minghe would not go into the palace to cause trouble. You
, just too sincere." The Queen Mother said quietly.
Zhang Wanyin nodded, very enlightened, and thought for a while and said: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. Wanyin had thought wrong before, because she was afraid that the prince would be in trouble. In fact, it could be said that Concubine Yu would go to greet him, or that the palace would
I will go there in person to greet you."
"Yu Lizhu just got married, and she was in the wedding room, so it is indeed inappropriate. Yu Yuxi... is actually not suitable either." The Queen Mother gently shook her hand, "Yu Yuxi almost had an accident this time because of Ming He. If she is allowed to come to the door again, it will be inappropriate.
wrong……"
The Queen Mother reached out and pressed her head, closed her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Compared to other palaces, there are too many people entering Prince Duan's Palace, and their identities are all extraordinary. If they are not integrated,
It may not be a blessing.”
"Empress Dowager, Wanyin knows."
"I can't blame you. If it doesn't work, just send another concubine and someone around you. The Ai family will put someone around you." The Queen Mother said seriously and sincerely.
"What the Empress Dowager taught me was that Wanyin was still too young. When this happened, she only thought about rescuing the prince, but she didn't know there was a more appropriate way." Zhang Wanyin accepted the lesson sincerely.
"Is there nothing going on in the mansion now?" the Queen Mother asked gently, without pursuing the matter further.
"It's not...no big deal." Zhang Wanyin smiled, and it seemed a bit far-fetched.
"Why, is there anything else?" The Queen Mother frowned.
Zhang Wanyin looked at the Queen Mother hesitantly and hesitated to speak.
"Say it, Aijia, listen." The Queen Mother said in a low voice, with a glint in her eyes.
Zhang Wanyin calmed down her thoughts and said respectfully and meekly: "Something happened in the Qian Mansion before, and Concubine Yu was a little unhappy when she found out."
"The daughter-in-law of the Qian Mansion?" The Queen Mother thought for a moment and realized that Zhang Wanyin was talking about something she had found out before. This matter was also related to the draft for King Qi.
Although when it comes to the draft, it is not necessarily true, but now everyone outside is saying so.
The selection was almost complete, but the Queen Mother had to make a new selection. She and the Queen even quickly decided on the manpower. There may have been some things missed during the rush, all because of the daughter-in-law of the Qian Mansion.
"Could it be that you came to the palace to ask for help?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly. She and the queen had finally smoothed over this matter and arranged the manpower to go to Qidi, and did not care about the affairs of the Qian Mansion.
"The prince did not respond." Zhang Wanyin said respectfully.
"Fortunately, I didn't agree. Because this matter concerns King Qi, I didn't make it public, but it caused a lot of trouble. If it ruined the emperor's important affairs, not to mention the Qian Mansion, not even Prince Duan would be able to bear it." The Queen Mother said coldly.
, "You go back and tell Prince Duan that this kind of thing is not something he, a prince, should do."
"The prince and Wanyin both mean this." Zhang Wanyin said softly, and after speaking, he suddenly knelt down.
The Queen Mother was stunned: "What's wrong? You still can't get up."
"Empress Dowager, there are some accidents in this matter. Wanyin doesn't know whether she did the right thing or not. She has been feeling uneasy, always worried about whether she really ruined things... They say that Wanyin can be the best for Princess Duan.
The Queen Mother meant that without the Queen Mother, Wanyin would actually be nothing. Now that things are happening... I am afraid of losing the Queen Mother's teachings."
"Tell me and listen." This is really something.
The Queen Mother understood as soon as she heard this and stretched out her hand to lift Zhang Wanyin up. A nanny came over and helped Zhang Wanyin up.
Zhang Wanyin then told her about the accidental letter she had received and the subsequent incident in which Yu Lizhu was brought before King Duan. The Queen Mother frowned upon hearing this.
After she finished speaking, she said: "You did the right thing, it should have been like this! You are the royal concubine, let alone an accident, even if it is really intercepted, as long as there is a legitimate reason and it is for the prince, you will guard the inner courtyard of the prince's palace.
None of the letters should be intercepted. As for Yu Lizhu... no matter how troublesome she is, she is just a concubine."
"The Queen Mother..." Zhang Wanyin wanted to say something else, but the Queen Mother reached out and pressed it gently.
"Prince Duan is a sensible person and will not get angry with you because of this. This matter will be good for Prince Duan's Palace, so that Concubine Yu will have less contact with the Qian Palace in the future. This time the matter has stopped here, but the courage of the Qian Palace
It’s really big enough to dare to interfere in this kind of thing, and I really don’t mind that my death will be slow.”
"Let Concubine Yu herself also warn her maternal family." The Queen Mother specifically added.
This was what Zhang Wanyin was begging for. She immediately showed a smile, took two steps back and bowed deeply to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is absolutely right. Wanyin thanked the Queen Mother on behalf of Concubine Yu."
"Girl, Princess Duan entered the palace at a quarter of an hour this morning. She left the palace before three quarters and returned to Prince Duan's Mansion." Mingyue came in to report.
Yu Xijiao was reading a copy of the Tao Te Ching. It was an old Tao Te Ching. There were some small notes on the side, which seemed to be the insights of previous readers.
After listening to Mingyue's words, she put down her scriptures and leaned back, squinting out the window, thinking for a while and saying, "There is no need to stare at Princess Duan anymore."
"girl?"
"Since Princess Duan has left the palace, it is unlikely that she will show up in person next. If she keeps a close eye on her, it will be easy for others to discover her."
Yu Xijiao said, calculating the time, we should be able to contact him within two minutes. Looking at the current situation, Zhang Wanyin is still cautiously testing, striving to be perfect.
No matter whether she succeeds or takes a step back, she must not see a trace of her faults.
Zhang Wanyin's approach is not imprudent, but it can also waste the opportunity, and sometimes it can even be displeasing to both sides, just like the earrings. I'm afraid Zhang Wanyin will regret it at this time.
"For the follow-up situation, just keep an eye on the Qian Mansion. The people around Mrs. Qian should be more familiar than the people around Princess Duan, and easier to keep an eye on." Yu Xijiao continued.
Mingyue immediately understood: "Don't worry, girl, it will indeed be easier to just focus on the Qian Mansion. I'm just afraid that Princess Duan... will cause something!"
"Don't be too concerned. If you can't keep an eye on the affairs of the two of them, don't keep an eye on them. Mingyue, you only pay attention to the affairs of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion." Yu Xi stretched out her delicate fingers and lightly touched them in the air.
Shaking lightly, "Both of them have a lot of people. If you look at it from a distance, you can see the best. It doesn't matter if you can't... For the time being, the two of them can be each other's opponents."
Mrs. Qian and Zhang Wanyin, these are the two people she specially recruited. No matter who they are, they are not simple, and they all have their own power.
For the women in the inner courtyard, this kind of power is invincible to almost anyone they encounter.
That Mrs. Qian could have such a good reputation and marry her daughter into the Xuanping Hou Mansion as an equal wife and later as Madam Hou; that Zhang Wanyin could return to Beijing and become Princess Duan after leaving Beijing all illustrates the methods of the two of them.
have to.
"For now, both of them... don't have the time or energy to pay attention to me." Yu Xijiao said, "Let them keep an eye on each other!"
"Don't worry, girl, I understand. I'm going to withdraw my troops now?" Mingyue nodded. She was actually very cautious. Before, she only watched from a distance, fearing that someone around the two would notice anything unusual.
"Withdraw the manpower." Yu Xijiao pondered for a moment, nodded, her long eyelashes slowly raised, and her eyes were filled with a hint of depth.
With that book in hand and falling into the hands of the Queen Mother, the secrets in the book will definitely be seen by the Queen Mother. No matter what, the Seventh Princess will never be disgraced. Even if the royal family is unwilling to publicize it, the Seventh Princess will be punished. Without the Seventh Princess
If the princess disrupts the situation, it will be much easier for her to do some things, but she still has to go to Duke Anguo's mansion.
This way you don’t have to worry about being bitten by the crazy seventh princess.
The bright moon retreated accordingly.
Yu Xijiao picked up the Tao Te Ching and looked at it carefully. She was looking at some small annotations in the Tao Te Ching and thinking about how to get to Anguo Gong's Mansion.
Yu Xijiao didn't expect that the reason would come so quickly, and it would be delivered to her door by someone else...
