Lu Xiuyun looked at Pomegranate, put down the tea, and said apologetically: "Not to mention Xiao Wan, if I had known that the Crown Princess was going to let her natal sister enter the palace, I would have advised the eldest lady to send her grandson to the Queen. I didn't expect you.
Both Xiaowan and I have the same thoughts. They are both right."
Fan Shiliu took two sips of fruit tea and smiled. She turned her head and looked through the window at the lake outside the palace.
The clear waves have golden scales, the hibiscus reveals its sharp corners, and there is a breath of summer in the wind.
Fan Shiliu had the same clear thinking as Cao Xiyang. She had already mentioned it to Lu Xiuyun, and they wanted to persuade Empress Song to send the emperor's grandson to the middle palace to be raised, and not to interfere in the affairs between the princess, mother and child.
However, Lu Xiuyun knew the thoughts of Empress Song very well. Song Jiahui was most afraid that the East Palace would think that she was unwilling to take care of her grandson, so the matter was delayed until now.
"I'm confused about this matter. I'll go and tell the queen after a while. You had an idea a long time ago, but I didn't listen."
"No need." Fan Shiliu put down the tea and pulled Lu Xiuyun, "How can I know what kind of heart you are? We will discuss it in advance when we meet, and we will only mention it to the empress after we have discussed it. Didn't we agree a long time ago?"
My wife is old, and I don’t have a reliable female elder in front of you. Let’s be careful. You think it’s better to do less than to do more. This is the right thing to do.”
Fan Shiliu had single phoenix eyes and slender eyebrows, but her chin was a bit square. The old lady had trained her for several years and found that she was okay, so she specially asked the empress to bring her into the palace.
The old lady is not unaware of her soft-eared problem, but fortunately she was born as a slave in the uncle's house and is loyal to her.
She was originally the little sister of Mrs. Fan, the daughter-in-law of Zhou Da's manager, and she often came to Zhou's house to play. Therefore, she and Cao Xiwan had lived across the street from childhood and were neighbors. But they just couldn't get along.
Lu Xiuyun smiled and nodded, thinking that Xiaowan was going to enter the palace and she would have to help ease her relationship with Shiliu.
On the other hand, in the Hou's Mansion, Cao Xiwan was thinking about sleeping with Liu Ying tonight and saying bad things about Pomegranate. Pomegranate was good at everything, but her only problem was that her ears were soft, yet she actually quarreled with her over Miss Yan.
She held a lantern and watched the moonlight rise. She went to the back of Yongxi Hall. Suddenly the willow shadow swayed and Lou Xiliu appeared out of nowhere and stopped her outside the hall: "Sleep with me, go to me."
In the room.”
"..." She looked at Xiliu speechlessly, when she couldn't see the reluctance on Xiliu's face?
"Don't take away my quilt, I can bear it." Lou Xiliu complained.
"Su Jintian called me?" She thought for a moment.
"No." Lou Xiliu shook his head in confusion, but he pulled her back from the old lady's place and took a detour to the second door. He suddenly threw her on the corridor and ran away.
She looked at Lou Xiliu's back in a funny way, and said to Su Jintian who was waiting for him on the corridor: "She is smarter than before. But she looks more afraid of you."
"I am willing to accept her as a disciple, and I also know that she secretly gave the Biying Heart Technique to the Marquis. Now she finally understands why I treat her so kindly." Su Jintian smiled, leaning on the corridor with the Biying Knife in his arms.
Pillar edge.
In the night, with the bright moon rising and the breeze blowing in the corridor, he walked with her to the yard. He smiled lightly:
"Now that she understands what she should do for me, I won't be too lazy to kill her."
Next door is Luoyuan.
Liu Ruhai heard the footsteps outside the door, took a look, and saw a lantern sewn with gauze through the crack in the door.
She held a lantern and passed by Su Jintian.
Within a few days, it became clear to him that the two men were secretly discussing something in the yard next door every night.
But as summer passed and autumn came, the lotus pond gradually dried up, and the outer room where Uncle Zhongzhong was raised outside was suddenly revealed.
This aunt had a daughter, and she actually stopped the carriage of Princess Yanghui on the street. Princess Yanghui and Yibin had such a quarrel that they even cried to Princess Ning's house.
After getting wind of the matter, he impeached Uncle Zhongzhong. His Majesty Huiwen was displeased and said to Mei Guozheng, "That's it. There's no need to mention him again."
Cao Xiwan was happy to watch the excitement. Uncle Zhongzhong didn't clean up all the dirty things, but he actually dared to jump out and fight for power with the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei?
Did he have any misunderstanding about the Jin Yiwei among the twelve personal guards in the capital? He was obviously a hereditary commander.
The Marquis was busy fighting against Uncle Zhong, and also had to discuss with the Prince of Qin the important matter of urging Prince Zhao. All the noble houses in the capital were looking at Prince Zhao by the Yangtze River, who claimed to be ill and refused to enter the capital.
The other eye is staring at the East Palace Pavilion.
By the end of autumn, when leaves were falling all over the city, the news that the Crown Princess was critically ill had become known to everyone.
Duke Yang Guo was so ill that he sought medical treatment. Even the Marquis of Nankang came to ask Dr. Liu to come and see him in the palace.
Liu Ruhai politely declined.
Not to mention what the nobles in the palace thought, in the Yongxi Hall of the Hou Mansion, Liu Ying quietly reported to the old lady. When the old lady heard the news, she also sighed: "Doctor Liu won't go? I'm afraid it's not too bad.
alright."
Liu Ruhai refused to go, of course because he felt helpless.
Everyone in the house, from the old lady to the little girls, were inquiring and discussing. In private, the old lady and the Marquis had been discussing secretly for a whole day behind closed doors.
If we don’t fight now, when will we wait?
"That girl Xiao Wan, don't be impatient. Let her stay in front of my old lady for now. I'll teach her. When the matter of the Crown Princess is settled, she can enter the palace again to avoid being caught."
The old lady sighed and looked at the golden osmanthus falling outside the Linghua window and the fallen leaves in late autumn. She felt that her energy was getting shorter and shorter now. Her only worry was that she would have to watch her granddaughter become the concubine of the East Palace.
She looked at Song Chengming in front of her and felt more and more that she had made the right choice.
It is impossible for the other uncles to have the talents of these three concubines. In the future, the granddaughter and these three uncles will have to help each other for a long time. What's more, the old lady now feels that these three concubines also have a good eye for choosing wives.
of.
Shuluan's child has been pregnant for half a year, and concubines are already being selected for him.
Xiao Wan is as good as Xiao Wan, but compared to Shu Luan, I'm afraid she's a bit petty.
"In theory, there must be someone like this in front of Jiahui. Xiuyun also came from your yamen. She is also a child of a military household, but I think she is not as good as Xiaowan when it comes to her mind." The old lady knew that Shiliu's ears were not good.
He's a little softer again. He can't handle big things.
"Mother is right." Song Chengming nodded.
In this way, Cao Xiwan once again lived in the Hou Mansion peacefully.
Now she no longer has to wait on the wife, and she doesn't want to see the Marquis anymore.
Moreover, the wife was pregnant, and she felt that there was a lot of trouble in Baihua Hall. The wife seemed to be making arrangements to get concubines for the Marquis. She seemed to understand why Lou Xiliu suddenly figured out how to please Su Jintian.
After all, Lou Xiliu had various plans when he entered the house, but one of them was that his wife was afraid that she would not be able to conceive due to her old age, so she asked this unworthy concubine to be the concubine of the Marquis and give birth to his legitimate son.
Now, I'm afraid Xiliu won't want to.
"She can be the mistress of Biying Palace, why should she be a concubine?" When she and Su Jintian were secretly conspiring, they also talked about the trivial matters in the inner house.
"...Which kind of Biying Palace Master is she?" Su Jintian looked at her angrily.
