On the throne, the Crown Princess was still the same as before, with a stern and politeness, as if nothing could change her color, and everything was under control.

After the greetings, Concubine Wu looked for an opportunity to kneel in front of the Crown Princess, and told the story of the Crown Prince summoning him last night: "I think that the Crown Princess is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. These things should have been delivered to you. It is probably because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very sick recently and is dizzy, so he has become confused. He is in a hurry to seek medical treatment and hit me..."

After saying that, he handed over the list that the crown prince gave her last night.

After hearing this, the Crown Princess's eyes became warmer: "The Concubine Wu is intent."

She glanced at her eyes, and Mao Zhu'er approached to take the list, and became blessed, turned to the inner hall, and the Crown Princess left Concubine Wu to speak, asking about some daily trivial matters, and never mentioned the word "Crown Prince".

After about half a quarter of an hour, Mao Zhu'er came out of the inner hall and handed the list back to Concubine Wu again.

The Crown Princess served tea to see him off, and his tone was gentle: "We have been together in the Eastern Palace for many years. I also understand your character. I have learned about today's affairs and will be reported later in the future."

She smiled and said, "Go back and rest."

Concubine Wu was very calm and responded respectfully. After saluting, she was about to leave.

...

Mao Zhuer took the wooden hammer from the palace servant, knelt beside the Crown Princess, and beat her legs one after another: "Concubine Wu looks stupid on weekdays, but her eyes are accurate. She knows who can choose and who can't."

The Crown Princess laughed and after a long time, she shook her head and said, "That's not stupid, but she's just a righteous heart and has no bad intentions. She is also a girl from a famous family. Her parents are loving and peaceful in the inner house. She has never suffered from the inner house. If she hadn't married into the Eastern Palace, she would have found a wealthy family in Jiangnan to marry, and be a wife with the protection of her father and brother, wouldn't she be better than this laoshi's concubine."

Mao Zhu'er was silent when she heard this, and involuntarily stopped her hands: "There are always more ways out for men in the world than their daughters. They practice martial arts, study, official career, and do business. Even if they are a teacher or a fisherman, they are better than their daughter's family. They are born to read the Four Girls' Books, and they are naturally wrapped around their necks. They only have to be a female needleworker. At most, they are learning the business of a housekeeper. After marrying someone, they take care of their husbands and children..."

The Crown Princess smiled: "At the end of the day, it is simply because they cannot support themselves. In the Jianghuai land, brocade and mulberry silkworms are extremely developed. Often, men farm at home to make a living. Women go out to weaving and work, and earn no less than men. When they speak at home, they are louder than their husbands..."

Mao Zhu'er also smiled, continued to beat the crown prince's legs and bit her lips lightly, with a bit of regret in her expression: "It is only in the wealthy Jianghuai--"

The Crown Princess's eyes added a little seriousness: "Isn't this also one of the reasons why you and I came together?"

Mao Zhuer was stunned and smiled immediately.

...

Because the emperor's furious and the Crown Princess' efforts to save the court, the changes at the palace banquet had not been spread to the court and the country, and disappeared without a trace. However, after this battle, the handle of the Eastern Palace was also held in the hands of the emperor. Although the emperor had no intention of deposing him immediately, it would be better to use this handle as a big stick and hit the crown prince from time to time.

The crown prince was not at peace, and the emperor cared for his son, so he ordered him to rest in the Eastern Palace without having to attend court, which was called recuperating, but in fact he was imprisoned. He was also well aware of the principle of pulling one side and beating one side. When the crown princess went to the Tai Chi Hall to pay tribute, he deliberately stepped back and left and right, leaving only his confidant present, sighing and feeling sad.

"Although the crown prince is not born in the legitimate family, he is also my eldest son. He was still very sensible when he was young. But somehow, he lost his will after he grew up!"

The emperor was moved and frustrated: "I have been with the Taiwei for many years and have a deep relationship. I also know that Awan has been smart since childhood and has the style of a general. So I chose you as the Crown Princess. I don't expect that the evil lard has attracted my heart. The court has repeatedly disappointed me. I didn't have the inner curtain in the harem. I found a brothel woman from somewhere, but she was still as good as a pearl or a treasure..."

Speaking of this, he felt that he was speechless, his expression changed slightly, and he changed his words in a hurry.

The Crown Princess was shocked, sat upright, leaning forward slightly: "What brothel woman?!"

She was stunned on the spot, her face was blue and white. After a while, she said in surprise: "Concubine Min--"

The emperor's expression was half helpless and half regretful: "I have beaten and scolded him, but he didn't listen. When Emperor Chen was there, he almost knelt down and begged him, but he refused to rely on him. He was really a sin in his previous life!"

The Crown Princess was angry at a rare moment: "How can a brothel woman enter the East Palace? Your Highness is so confused! The Zhongqin Mansion also followed the trouble, which is simply ridiculous!"

"He devoted himself to the Min family and even wanted to depose his legitimate wife. I really don't know what to do with him!"

The emperor looked heartbroken by his son, wiped his tears and sighed: "Awan, I treat you as my biological daughter, and the grandson is my legitimate grandson. Don't worry, no matter when, I am standing here. Even when there is no way out, I will definitely protect you mother and son..."

Everything before is false, and the last sentence is what he really wants to express.

If you want to cut off the forces affiliated with the crown prince one by one, without using a knife and a gun to evolve peacefully, you must let them know that what they have will not disappear with the fall of the crown prince, and may suffer certain damage, but you will never lose all your money.

Although the Crown Princess knew that the crown prince favored his concubine Min, he did not know that Min's origin was so unbearable. When he heard that the crown prince wanted to abolish his legitimate concubine, he even looked gloomy. After thinking about it, he shed a few tears: "I just hope that the father and the son will be fair."

The emperor knew that she might be acting, and the Crown Princess also knew that he might be acting, but for the sake of their own plot, the two of them tacitly sang the scene to the end.

The emperor vowed: "Awan, don't worry, with me here, he can't make a fortune!"

The Crown Princess was full of confidence: "My son believes that the father is sure to be able to do it!"

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, the Crown Princess's face quickly turned plain, and the love and lenient harmony on the emperor's face also disappeared, but the dispute over wives and concubines in the Eastern Palace began.

After returning to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess had a big fight with the Crown Prince.

The Crown Princess said that the Crown Prince found a brothel woman from outside to change her appearance and sent her to the palace to be a concubine. She was really disgraceful. He did not feel embarrassed, but she felt that she was disgraceful. The Crown Prince said that the Crown Princess was jealous and rude. Seeing that he had not been valued by the emperor recently, he deliberately found trouble and argued, wanting to take his son to have a disaster.

The gods above were fighting, and Concubine Wu didn't even dare to watch the fun. She hugged in the side hall honestly. When the argument came over there, she sneaked into the Crown Prince's study room and informed him of the Wu family's investigation results.

Mao Zhuer's identity is not a problem.

The crown prince was suspicious.

When Concubine Chen died, he lost his love for the emperor, his throne was unstable, and his husband and wife were disunited. If he found out that his beloved was actually hurting him secretly, he would be afraid that he would feel that living was meaningless.

It was like grabbing the last straw and holding the last glimmer of hope. The crown prince became more and more fond of Mao Zhu'er. Because of his recent misfortune with the Crown Princess, the latter repeatedly argued with him because of Mao Zhu'er's identity, so he simply took Mao Zhu'er to the main hall, facing each other day and night like a couple.

The Crown Princess was very strict under the rule. At first, the news could be hidden, but the Crown Prince intended to show the face of the concubine, and used it to vent his dissatisfaction to the emperor. The matter became more and more extraordinary. In the end, the matter became increasingly serious and finally spread to the court and the public, and the censors.

The crown prince accepted a brothel woman, which was not a big deal, but it was very inappropriate to change her appearance and even surpassed the crown prince's concubine. This was a big deal. There were a lot of discussions and countless people wrote memorials to impeach.

The crown prince was determined to eat the weight and was unmoved at all.

...

The chaos in the East Palace did not involve outside the palace. Zhou Jing, the wife of Weining, was still calm. She cooked everything in the mansion every day. When she got it, she would return to her parents' home to comfort her younger sister. My father was out of the battle, and her lover also went out with the army. Miss Zhou San stayed alone in the mansion, which was quite lonely.

In addition, she had one more important thing to do - the late Mrs. Zhou's death anniversary was coming.

Usually at this time, the Grand Marshal Zhou would personally prepare for the death anniversary of his deceased wife, but now he is out of the war and his whereabouts are unknown. The Crown Princess is in the palace, so this matter must be on the heads of Zhou Jing and Zhou Xuan.

There has been no news on the battlefield of Xiliang. The life and death of the Grand Marshal Zhou Dingfang is uncertain. In addition, the recent disagreement between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess and the wife of the Crown Princess, the nobles and nobles in the capital are waiting and watching about the ceremony of Mrs. Zhou's death ceremony.

However, the emperor took the lead in showing kindness to the Zhou family, issued an edict to praise the late Mrs. Zhou's virtues, praised the achievements of the Grand Marshal Zhou, and even opened the emperor's grace, and granted Miss Zhou San the title of the Lord of Anle County.

Only when the prince's daughter was granted the title of county lord. Miss Zhou San received this honor as a minister and the Zhou family's kindness was met with a high reputation. It can be seen that the news spread. Even though the Grand Marshal Zhou was still missing, the traffic in front of the Zhou family was also full of traffic and became lively.

Perhaps suffering will indeed temper a person. After seeing Miss Wednesday again, the ladies in the capital were more or less surprised. The girl's tenderness and childishness were polished by family changes, leaving behind resoluteness and calmness. When we were sent out, our words and deeds were particularly appropriate.

In the past, the Zhou family's daughters were sought by the Zhou family, and the two ladies in front of him were well married and the mistresses were well done. Now, after seeing Miss Zhou San's affairs, she had a bit of the awesome demeanor of the two ladies in front of him, and her appearance was peerless. You surpassed the two ladies in front of him, and felt that it was worth marrying the family just for this person.

Mrs. Zhou has passed away and her elder sister is like a mother. Someone asked Zhou Jing quietly what plans he had for this sister in the future.

Zhou Jing sighed: "She is determined to be with the Xue family's young master. I can't persuade him. He originally thought that he would ask them to separate no matter what, but he didn't expect that the news that his father was trapped in the battlefield came. The Xue family's young master rushed to Xiliang without saying a word. With such deep love and friendship, how can I say anything else?"

The lady who spoke could only persuade her: "That Young Master Xue is so dedicated. If she really can find the Grand Marshal and return the army together, it would be a good talk."

After this talk was heard, everyone knew that Miss Zhou San was determined to wait for her lover to come back, so she stopped mentioning the marriage. After completing the ceremony, she said goodbye and returned to the house.

On this day, the Zhou family was full of guests. After Zhou Jing finished dealing with many matters, he said goodbye to his younger sister and returned to his house. It was already the middle of the moon and midnight.

She was a little tired, and supported her chin with her hands, thinking carefully about whether there had been any mistakes in every step that the three sisters took recently. When she heard the garrison outside the carriage patrolling the night, she still showed her identity.

When the Weining Hou Mansion arrived, Zhou Jing calmed down and helped the maid get off the carriage. He held the sheep horn lantern in front of him, shining the road. The dowry nanny came up at this time and whispered: "The Marquis hasn't come back yet."

Today is the death of Mrs. Zhou. As the son-in-law of the Zhou family, Weining Hou must have gone there. After lunch, his colleagues came to see him for something. Weining Hou sent someone to say something to his wife and left.

A man had something to do in the officialdom, but Zhou Jing never interfered, but he didn't come back so late, so he made her brows move slightly.

Zhou Jing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Eighty-mostly his colleagues were having a banquet. After drinking, I left someone to guard the door, and then asked the kitchen to warm up the sobering soup..."

The attendant received the order and responded. Zhou Jing didn't think much about it. He went back to the room to wash and rest. He only found out that her husband had not returned overnight last night, and there was no news at this moment.

Zhou Jing's eyes closed and he said lightly: "I'll go and ask for help and see who he had a drink with last night."

The maid responded, and not long after he walked out, someone came to report the message: "Madam, the marquis is back!"

The visitor's eyes were inadvertently swept Liu behind Zhou Jing, and his voice was even lower: "I brought a woman back."

It would be fine if it was normal. After all, there was a Liu family before, and the wife was not angry. She brought back nothing. But yesterday was the death anniversary of her mother's biological mother!

Because of this day, Zhou Jing's clothes and hair accessories have not been bright recently. Liu took a pair of crabapple hairpins made of crystal and carefully helped her to wear them. When the maid replied, her heart trembled, and her palms trembled. The flower hairpins hooked Zhou Jing's hair and pulled it hard.

Liu was startled, fearing that Mrs. Hou would take her anger on her, and gasp and didn't know what to do.

However, Zhou Jing didn't even move his eyebrows. He heard her breathing sound, and turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Liu did not dare to say anything, but she was blessed with her blessing, but saw that Mrs. Hou was still looking at her, as if she was waiting for her to reply.

She pursed her lips and whispered: "Don't be angry."

Zhou Jing laughed when he heard this, as if he thought her words were interesting: "Why am I angry?"

As Liu served her many times, she gradually discovered that although this Marquis was noble and cold, and did not like to talk, she was also reasonable. As long as she did not do anything wrong, it would not happen.

Seeing that she didn't feel bad at this time, Liu clung up his courage and said carefully: "Why are you angry when the Marquis brings people back on such a day?"

Zhou Jing turned his head lightly: "Angry is a manifestation of incompetence, and he doesn't need to punish himself with other people's faults."

She leaned gently on the back of the chair, and the diamond glasses in front of her reflected Liu's beautiful face. Zhou Jing raised his hand gently, and his snow-white fingertips brushed the face of the person in the mirror, and suddenly shouted: "Nannan."

This is the name for girls in Jiangnan, and it is also one of the few things that Liu has obtained from his biological parents.

She was stunned when she heard this, and then she came back to her senses. Because Mrs. Hou called her like this, she subconsciously bent over and hesitated, "Yes?"

Zhou Jing leaned back and Liu leaned forward. At this moment, the two of them pressed their cheeks very close.
