The prince left the palace, did not dare to delay, and rushed back to Tongzhou overnight to camp. He vaguely remembered that the prince's concubine's sister was married to the son of Mr. Niu, the governor of Jinyiwei North Town, and the governor of Beizhen was in charge of Jinyiwei's prison.

.

Although the prince was scolded by the emperor, Uncle Cheng En had to rescue him. Many private matters he had done were handled through his uncle. For example, he bought a big house in the suburbs of Beijing, kept many beauties in it, and even

There are a lot of shady things... If Uncle Cheng'en doesn't keep his mouth shut and says something, then the emperor won't just reprimand him with a few words.

The prince then left a close aide in the capital to take care of things. He also sent a young eunuch back to the East Palace with a message to the princess, asking the princess to speak to the concubine's husband's family and ask Master Niu to take care of Cheng in prison.

Ember.

The eunuch did not dare to delay after receiving the prince's order, and hurried back to Yuqing Palace. He met Yuxin and told the prince's request. Although Yuxin and the prince were not married for a short time, the palace was indeed a very training place.

, Yuxin has thought a lot more carefully now.

Now, the prince's uncle had just been arrested and imprisoned, and the prince was reprimanded by the emperor and returned to Tongzhou in despair without even returning to the East Palace. The emperor was in a good mood these days, and everyone in the palace looked down upon him. Yuxin felt that it was still less.

She had a better sense of presence. The idea of ​​letting the eldest lady enter the palace was just a fleeting thought before she was killed. Finally, it was decided that after the palace door opens tomorrow, Luzhi will be sent to Niu Mansion to pass the news to Yu Fei.

The next day, Luzhi left the Forbidden City and went to Niufu to ask for Yufei. After a while, a little girl led Luzhi in. In the main room, because it was still a national mourning, Yufei was dressed in plain clothes and had a thorn in her head.

Wearing a silver hairpin, he sat on the imperial chair and received the green branches as a gift.

After not seeing each other for a while, Yufei looked better. She was a little fatter, her face was rounder, and she already had the demeanor of a young lady. She was dressed like a woman, which made Luzhi uncomfortable for a while. She said a few words.

, Yu Fei asked: "How is the princess' health? Are you still used to living in the palace?"

Luzhi replied respectfully, "The prince has gone to Tongzhou for business now, and the princess is staying in the East Palace. Everything is fine!"

Yu Fei smiled slightly, with a sarcastic look on her face: "Now that the eighth sister is the crown princess and extremely prominent, naturally everything is fine!" This sour tone made Lu Zhi choke. She followed Yu Xin.

For more than ten years, I have known very well about the discord between the fourth girl and the eighth girl. It’s just that when the fourth girl was in the house, she was a lowly person and looked at everything well. How come she seems to be a different person after she marries out of the house?

Luzhi didn't say much, and only told Yufei Yuxin's message. When Yufei heard this, she pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am a woman, I shouldn't care about such external matters.

But now that the Crown Princess has found my head and has the friendship of a sister, I will not stand idly by and watch. Now my father-in-law has gone to work in the government office. When he comes back, I will definitely tell the matter to him. As for how my father-in-law will deal with it, I am a housewife.

If I don't mind commenting, you should go back and tell the Crown Princess exactly what I said."

After sending away the green branches, Yu Fei took the maid to the study in front to find Niu Zheng in person. Niu Zheng had been feeling a little unhappy recently. He was born into a family of military generals, but he didn't like to dance with guns or sticks, and he was quite poor at studying.

Because of his talent, he passed the examination at a young age, so he was very proud of himself. He originally planned to be named on the gold medal list in this year's Spring Festival, and then join the court as an official. But who knew that after the death of the Queen Mother, this year's Spring Festival was cancelled, and Niu Zheng prepared

For a long time, I have accumulated enough breath but no place to release it. These days, everyone is facing the nose, not the nose, not the eyes.

Yu Fei arrived at Niu Mansion, and her life was not pleasant. She originally thought that she was the granddaughter of the chief minister, and marrying Niu Zheng was a low-level marriage, and Niu Zheng was not allowed to support her when she married. Little did she know that Niu Mansion looked simple, but there were people

Wherever there is, there is struggle. Now that Master Niu has not been mobilized, her mother-in-law is quite critical of her. In addition, there is some discord with the eldest mistress, the wife of the eldest young master of the Niu family, and Yu Fei's sister-in-law. These days are not going well.

It won't stop.

At the same time, Niu served as a guard of Qianhu, and he married the legitimate daughter of the General Soldier of Guangxi. The grandmothers and sisters were born to be enemies. When Yu Fei married into the Niu family, she would inevitably be compared with the eldest mistress. In terms of status, she was a concubine.

She was the legitimate daughter. She was born in the prime minister's house and had a higher status, so she was able to make up for it. But when the dowry was compared, she suffered a big loss.

It turns out that the General Soldier of Guangxi made a lot of money during his tenure, so the eldest mistress’s dowry was more than 100 taels, which was very generous. Yu Fei’s dowry was only 64 taels, and many of them were inflated. How could this be hidden from the future?

This is a housewife. The eldest mistress helped her mother-in-law take care of the house, but she often used this matter to stab her. Yu Feili lost all her dignity, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she became even more angry with the eldest wife.

When Yufei saw her husband, she expressed some concern and condolences, and told her not to study too hard to avoid hurting her body. Then the two of them were speechless. These days, Niu Zheng could not say good or bad things about Yufei.

They treated each other as if they were guests. As a scholar, Niu Zheng naturally liked music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He originally thought that Yu Fei, as the granddaughter of the chief minister, would be good at this, but she didn't know anything about it. Niu Zheng couldn't help but be disappointed.

After the initial sweet period of their wedding, Niu Zheng and Yu Fei fell out of love. Before getting married, Niu Zheng hired two beautiful girls to marry him. One of them, named Danxiang, was not only pretty and charming, but also quite charming.

Niu Zheng, a talented poet, loved her very much and always liked to rest in her room. Yu Fei was very wary for a while.

It's just that these two girls have always been respectful to her, and she can't find any reason to do so, because they were both given to her son by Mrs. Niu, and Yu Fei is not easy to deal with.

She finally realized deeply that it was not easy to gain a foothold in the Niu family since she had no right to manage the house and no heirs. She couldn't help but touch her flat belly. If she could give birth to a baby quickly,

Just have a son! But the damn national mourning ruined all her plans.

Generally speaking, even though it is a national mourning, the emperor usually turns a blind eye when ministers consummate their marriages with their wives. As long as it does not cause too much trouble, no one will care about it. Secretly giving birth to a boy and a half girl, as long as the family does not make it public.

There was no big obstacle, but the Niu family was different from other families. As the emperor's confidants, the Niu family had to pay more attention to these aspects. As a result, Niu Zheng was like a prince during the national funeral, leaving his newlywed wife alone but not daring to have sex. Some

When it comes to physical problems, she only seeks solutions from Danxiang and drinks a bowl of Bizi Soup afterwards. Yufei is really suffering and cannot express her pain!

Thinking about her worries, Yu Fei finally told her husband about the purpose of the princess's visit. Niu Zheng said: "Since the prince has given such an order, we can't neglect it! When father leaves the office, I will go and tell him personally."

The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Yu Fei returned to the inner courtyard. Seeing his wife walking away, Niu Zheng had a sneer on his face. The prince didn't understand the situation. He thought that he was the prince and Master Niu was a minister.

, it was not just a matter of words for him to ask his ministers to do things. Who knew that the Niu family had no contact with the Xiao family on the surface, but in fact they had a very close relationship with the Xiao family. The Xiao family also threw it at the emperor's trusted minister.

The olive branch is just that Mr. Niu is swaying from side to side and has been indecisive.

Of course Niu Zheng knew this, but he had no intention of telling Yu Fei. When Master Niu came home from the office in the evening, Niu Zheng told the story. Master Niu was also dumbfounded after hearing this. The prince's behavior was really rude.

The rules are in place. Xiao Zongsheng also asked someone to come to him before and asked him to serve Uncle Cheng En well. Lord Niu thought about it carefully, how to deal with it depends on the emperor's attitude!

On the other side, Luzhi said goodbye to Yufei and came to Yang's Mansion. Before leaving, Yuxin personally asked Luzhi to take this opportunity to go back to Yang's Mansion and pay her respects to the old lady.

The Forbidden City is strictly forbidden. This is the first time Luzhi has gone home after entering the palace. When he arrived at the second gate of the Yang Mansion, he felt a lot of emotions. The old lady heard that Luzhi was back and met her in person at Songhe Hall.

When Lvzhi arrived at Songhe Hall, he saw the old lady neatly dressed and sitting at the top, still looking a little sad. The eldest wife, the second wife, the fifth wife, Yulan and Yuqing were all present. After seeing each other, they presented Yuxin ribbons.

As gifts for everyone, the old lady and other ladies are all fine tributes, the sisters are new palace flowers made by the palace, and Chengzong and other brothers are Duan inkstones.

Last time, the eldest lady was unable to go to the palace to see Yu Xin due to illness. Now that she is well, it is not that easy to go to the palace. Therefore, she couldn't wait for the old lady to ask questions, so she hurriedly asked Lu Zhi: "How is Xin'er doing in the palace?"

?”

The second wife coughed lightly... The old lady was still sitting at the top. Only then did the eldest lady realize that she had overstepped her bounds. Since the Queen Mother passed away, the eldest lady felt that she had lost her biggest supporter and became more and more sensitive to these things. The old lady realized that she had overstepped her bounds.

The wife didn't pay attention to these details, she just stared at the green branches and waited for her to speak.

Luzhi lowered his head and said: "The girl is fine, she just misses the old lady and the ladies, as well as the young master and the girls. The girl entered the palace not long ago, and now it is the Queen Mother's filial piety period, so it is not convenient to call her family over. These are all

The emperor and queen usually reward it, but the girl specially asked her slaves to bring it to the old lady and ladies, so that she can also enjoy the blessing of the royal family."

The old lady called Lu Zhi to her side and asked her in detail about Yu Xin's daily life and diet, as well as her relationship with Prince Dong and her servants. Lu Zhi answered them one by one. Of course, she would report good news but not bad news.

The eldest lady had heard about Uncle Cheng En being imprisoned by the emperor early on. At this time, she couldn't help but ask: "The prince's uncle was imprisoned by the emperor. Did the emperor express his anger at the prince and the princess?" Since hearing this,

The eldest lady was so nervous about this news that she didn't sleep well all night. Of course, the emperor's scolding of the prince in the palace was an internal secret, and the eldest lady had no way of knowing.

Luzhi said: "That's not true! Yesterday, the imperial dining room made excellent snacks, and the emperor also sent someone to reward the princess..."

The eldest lady patted her chest, chanted Buddha's name repeatedly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

During these days, whenever the old man had free time, he would call Yulan to Songfeng Bookstore to read memorials. Although he had never mentioned the affairs of the court to Yulan once, Yulan gradually had a general outline of them. He knew that Mrs.

It's still too naive. In ancient times, it was definitely not an era of fighting alone. It was common to confiscate homes and exterminate clans. If something happened to one person, his relatives would also suffer. What's more, everything that happened around the prince had far-reaching political significance.

, the emperor put Uncle Cheng En in jail regardless of the reputation of the prince and the queen. The prince will definitely suffer. I just hope that Yu Xin will not be implicated.

The old lady obviously understood the truth, and asked more detailed questions. The old lady persisted in asking a few questions, and felt tired, and the continuous illness had damaged her vitality. She asked Xinghuang to reward the green branches, and then told her

After returning home, Haosheng waited on Yuxin, then waved his hands tiredly and said: "I'm a little tired, you all can go down."

The eldest lady was about to take Lvzhi back to Yiningju to ask questions, so she stood up to leave first. But the second lady said: "Old lady, I see that you don't look well, but you are not feeling well. Do you want me to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"

See?"

The old lady shook her head and said: "That's all! It's nothing serious. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after taking a rest. You don't want to make a big fuss about looking for a doctor. You all go and do your work. Girl Youlan stays and reads a few words to me.

Just a verse from the scripture is enough!”

Yu Lan attended her grandmother's bedside every day. Everyone in the family noticed her, and no one paid much attention to her, so they all bowed and left.

After everyone left, Yulan and Xinghuang helped the old lady into the inner room, took off the hairpin on her head, and took off her clothes. The old lady lay down on the big kang, and Yulan knelt down.

He sat on the foot of the bed and said softly: "Old lady, please take a rest first. When you wake up, can your granddaughter read the Bible to you?"

The old lady waved her hand, closed her eyes for a while, then opened her eyes, looked at Yulan and said, "Girl, you went to Yuqing Palace a few days ago. Tell grandma, is Xin'er okay?"

"Grandma, I'm sorry. It's not that my granddaughter deliberately hid it from you. It's just that she saw that grandma was ill. She was afraid that you would get angry after hearing the news..."

The old lady interrupted her and said, "You don't need to say these words. I know you have always been filial. Just tell me how Xin'er is relieved now!"

Yulan had no choice but to explain the situation that Yuxin was facing now. After hearing this, the old lady sighed: "This child, Xiner, is really suffering for her. Back then, the eldest daughter-in-law wanted to marry her into the palace. I didn't want to marry her into the palace."

I agree, I didn’t expect that things would reach this point, hey..." I feel sorry for my granddaughter: "Donggong is not like ordinary people, the few people I gave to Xin Yatou can’t hold back after all, let’s forget it, I’ll call Su tomorrow

Mom, please go to the palace to serve the Crown Princess. With her on the side to remind you, I can feel at ease!"

Yu Lan was taken aback and quickly advised: "Grandma, Mother Su is the person you are used to, the one you can't live without for a moment. What will you do if you give her to your eighth sister? Besides, the Queen Mother has just left at this time.

, coupled with the unfavorable war situation outside, it is better to be still than to move..."

Only then did the old lady react: "I'm so confused. It really doesn't look good to crowd people into the palace at this time!"

"Grandma, I know you love the eighth sister, but her life is her own. We are relatives. It is okay to remind her, but it is impossible to think of everything for her. Can you gain a foothold in the palace?

, it still depends on the eighth sister! I see that the eighth sister has grown a lot. I should not say something, after all, she is the daughter of the Yang family. Now that the prince is still in use of the Yang family, he always treats the eighth sister.

It won’t be bad, don’t you think?”

The old lady thought for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​giving Su's mother to Yuxin. "It's rare for you to have such knowledge! I am old after all!" After saying this, she was already showing her age.

Yulan comforted her a few more words. The old lady felt inspired and suddenly said: "Girl Lan, if you feel that the Xie family kid has wronged you, just tell her about it. Grandma will always ask you to find someone you like."

The husband is the one! Grandma will never let you follow in Xin'er's footsteps!"

After hearing these words, Yu Lan felt a sourness in his heart for some reason. The aloof and indifferent man filled his whole chest for a moment, and every encounter was relived countless times in his heart. But for a dignified prince, even if he

Now that he has become a widower and the most popular widower in Dachu, will he think highly of his background? Yulan laughed at herself, this obsession is nothing after all, even thinking about it makes her feel that she is very

Laugh. What's more, she has really seen enough of the royal family's intrigues, and she doesn't want to get involved! Forget it, love is too luxurious, I can't afford it!
