Views:

It was only after Lin Weixi died that he realized that he was only the female supporting role in a book of prostitutes.

"What's going on here?"

Wan Yue said in a few words what happened during the meal, Wan Xing sighed for a while, and praised: "The girl is really kind, the concubine Shizi deliberately let her nanny run on the girl, and the girl is willing to relieve them."

Who wants to, Lin Weixi replied angrily. In the palace, Gao Ran is the daughter-in-law of the palace of Yan, after all, Wan Xing and Wanyue can't say much about these words, she just gave up. Wan Yue went on to say: "Isn't it true, but the anger of the prince today is really scary, I couldn't even raise my head when I was frightened, that is, under the girl's name, the prince can speak better. The prince is really strict with the prince, in front of so many People, you don't show any sympathy when reprimanding."

"Because of what?"

"It's not for the eldest princess Shoukang. I didn't expect King Yan to be unfriendly, but filial to the eldest princess."

Hearing this, Lin Weixi added lightly: "It's not that he is filial to the eldest princess Shoukang. Although the eldest princess is King Yan's aunt, how many princesses are there in the royal family? There are so many uncles, nieces, and aunts, and I don't see him approaching each other. King Yan was really filial to King Lao Yan. When King Yan was not in the vassal, he was very suspicious of Sejong. It was Princess Shoukang's guarantee that King Yan was able to go to the country smoothly. Because of this, King Yan was very suspicious of Princess Shoukang. The mansion is extremely courteous. Gu Chengyao grew up on the fief, and he was at the peak of the power of Prince Yan's mansion when he was born, and everything goes smoothly, how can he understand the origin of the previous generation. "

"It turns out that there is still this relationship." Wan Xing asked unintentionally after listening, "Girl, how do you know about the Sejong Dynasty?"

Lin Weixi's hand holding the tea immediately froze, she knew this was because Princess Shoukang said it herself. But Lin Weixi, a lonely out-of-town woman, shouldn't know this. Lin Weixi was secretly startled, but he still replied casually: "When I was ten years old, my father brought me to Beijing to see a doctor. I stayed in Beijing for almost half a year, and I heard what an old grandfather in the alley said."

Wan Yue and Wan Xing were both by Lin Weixi's side, who had come halfway, and knew nothing about Lin Weixi's past. They believed Lin Weixi's explanation. Seeing that Lin Weixi had fooled the two maids, she breathed a sigh of relief, but also secretly warned herself not to be so careless.

If the person who heard this today was King Yan, then it would be over.

Wan Yue and Wan Xing were both coming to Beijing for the first time, and they came back to the palace, which was very novel. The two of them are different from Lin Weixi's former maidservants, chatting very lively, Lin Weixi's identity is no longer the same as before, and he will not be demanding of the two maidservants. Wan Xing and Wan Yue were full of curiosity about the famous Yanwang Mansion, and now that they both lived in Yanwang Mansion with Lin Weixi, it was even more incredible. They lowered their voices and talked about the Yanwang's mansion only showing the tip of the iceberg, but it was a wonderful enough family affair: "I heard that the current Concubine Shizi is filling the house, and the lady in front of the Shizi is also surnamed Gao, who is the Concubine Shizi's sister!"

Wan Xing covered her mouth in surprise: "My sister?"

"right."

Wan Xing showed an expression of amazement: "The prince looks very young, and he has already married the second wife."

"The prince looks only in his twenties. If he hadn't known in advance, who would have guessed that the prince's direct son was already seventeen."

"Yes. The prince is only seventeen, so it's early for the prince to get married."

"It's not that he got married early, it's that the previous prince concubine died neatly." Lin Weixi took the words, and even smiled, "I got married in the first month and died at the end of the year, and my sister came in in February of the next year, without delaying the prince's time at all. ."

Wan Xing and Wan Yue didn't expect that Lin Weixi would suddenly pick up the conversation. The two of them didn't think too much about it, but just sighed: "The previous imperial concubine was too pitiful."

Poor? Lin Weixi smiled: "Perhaps. But King Yan is right. The world only looks at the results, and no one will ask the reasons. She has lived her life like this, and I am afraid that she herself is to blame. It's good to have a good relationship, a deep relationship and a sense of righteousness, and it's better to vacate your seat early."

Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other, wondering why Miss Lin suddenly felt this pessimistic. Wan Xing is lively, and in just one day's work, she has already inquired about a lot of news from the palace: "Actually, it may not be the fault of the previous concubine. My servant heard today that the concubine of the previous life was extremely strict with the management of the palace when she was there. There are various regulations. Gossip is not allowed, laziness is not allowed, and petty theft is not allowed on the stove. Princess Yan has passed away for many years, and Prince Yan has been fighting outside all year round. It is inevitable that many rules in the palace are lax. The drastic rectification is good, but it is a pity that it offends people too much."

Wan Yue and Wan Xing are outsiders, so they can objectively evaluate the current situation of Prince Yan's Mansion. But for the old servants who were in the wrong place in Prince Yan’s mansion, what Gao Xi did was to move their territory, so in the eyes of these people, Gao Xi was of course not good at all, waiting for Gao Xi to deal with the evil habits of the years When it was over, she was exhausted herself. After Gao Ran entered the door, the foundation had been laid, and as soon as Gao Ran took over, it was like a broken bamboo. And Gao Ran was used to doing superficial work. She got the benefit, and the rules were a little looser. Compared with Gao Xi's strictness, Gao Ran immediately became a gentle and kind new mistress, and the palace also talked about her everywhere. it is good.

So this led to the current situation. The two newly arrived maids of Wan Xing and Wanyue could say things like "the concubine in the previous life had good intentions", but Gu Chengyao, who was surrounded by servants and old slaves, couldn't see it.

Lin Weixi didn't expect to hear such words from the mouths of these two girls, she laughed at herself, and it was rare for someone to read her goodness. Lin Weixi doesn't want to talk about these bad things anymore. Now she sees that Gu Chengyao and Gao Ranlang's concubines are really tired and crooked, but Gao Ran's dowry maid is still preaching everywhere, with a proud face. God knows that these slaves once did not dare to lift their heads in front of Lin Weixi, but now they are also raising their tails.

Lin Weixi stood up and said lightly, "It's their family business after all. It's not good to talk about personal affairs behind the scenes, so don't mention it again in the future."

Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other and both noticed the contradiction in Lin Weixi. Miss Lin is obviously very dependent on King Yan, but when it comes to King Yan's family, they are uncharacteristically indifferent. Love the house should be the same as Wu, why did Miss Lin have such a contradictory attitude? Wan Yue and Wan Xing didn't know, and they didn't dare to mention it at the moment, but they carefully served Lin Weixi and changed clothes: "Girl, today King Yan is angry with the prince because of Princess Shoukang, and he also said that he will take the prince to give him a gift for a few days. The eldest princess came to the door to apologize. Do you think this is true?"

"Why isn't it true?" Lin Weixi sneered lightly, full of irony, "How dare they despise the eldest princess' mansion because there are no children, where did they get the courage? When the princess was in the capital, no one dared to neglect her, and even if King Yan wanted to call Princess Shoukang an aunt, she, a concubine, could not wait to jump out, thinking that she would be able to spread wildness on the territory of the princess' mansion, which is really ridiculous."

"Girl..."

Lin Weixi also noticed that his emotions were agitated. She took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the clothes these days, and I will go with King Yan to visit the Princess Mansion."

Wan Yue was stunned for a moment, Lin Weixi is still in the period of filial piety, and usually closes the door to thank guests, why did you think of going to the Princess Mansion this time? But these are not things that she should worry about as a maid, Wan Yue replied in a low voice, and went to prepare clothes for Lin Weixi to meet the guests.

Gu Huiyan didn't say anything after knowing this, nodded and agreed. When he finally freed up time, he personally brought everyone from Prince Yan's mansion to visit the eldest princess Shoukang.

When King Yan came in person, of course, he was regarded as a distinguished guest and immediately welcomed him into the mansion. When the eldest princess Shoukang heard that King Yan was visiting, she immediately greeted her with her body supported.

When Gu Huiyan saw Princess Shoukang, he quickly got up and held her arm: "Auntie, the dog is stubborn and has failed your painstaking efforts. Now it's my fault that I bother you to come out in person."

"You mustn't say that. You are now a prince, and the emperor relies on you to help. How can I, a half-dead old woman, dare to apologize to you."

Gu Huiyan couldn't say anything else when he saw this, he lightly pointed his eyes on Gu Chengyao, Gu Chengyao understood what his father meant, so he could only come out reluctantly and give a big gift to the eldest Princess Shoukang: "Some days ago, the younger generation was confused. , I have offended my aunt and grandmother, please forgive the sins of the younger generation."

Gu Chengyao was the son of King Yan, and even if Shoukang hated him for neglecting Sister Xi, he could not ignore King Yan's face. King Yan personally brought his son over to make amends. Whether from the perspective of etiquette or morality, King Yan's sincerity has been given enough, Shoukang could only nod his head, and said lukewarmly: "The family has no overnight feud, since you understand All right. Get up."

Gu Chengyao got up and followed Gao Ran to salutation: "Grandma."

Shoukang snorted clearly and didn't even look at it. Gao Ran showed an aggrieved look, and Gu Chengyao was very distressed, but Gu Huiyan was still sitting on it, even if Gu Chengyao was angry, he didn't dare to move at all.

It was also at this time that Shoukang realized that there was one more person. She looked at the exquisite girl who looked like a New Year's picture in the hall, and was slightly stunned: "This is..."

Lin Weixi stepped forward and gave three heads to the eldest princess Shoukang: "Little girl Lin Weixi, see the eldest princess."

Shou Kang looked at the woman on the ground, his eyes widened unconsciously. Seeing this, Gu Huiyan explained: "I was careless during the rebellion in the northwest, and it was her father who fought to the death to cover me out. You should have the impression that it was the Marquis of Zhongyong some time ago. After the rebellion in the northwest subsided, I saw this little boy. The girl lost her mother when she was young, and now she has no father. It is not an option to live alone, so I took her to the capital. I brought the younger generation to greet you today, and she came with her. "

After Shou Kang heard this, the inexplicable throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious. She asked someone to help Lin Weixi up, drew closer and looked at it carefully for a while, then she covered the back of Lin Weixi's hand warmly and with some rough hands, and asked, "Your name is Lin Weixi, what is your nickname?"

"As soon as the little girl was born, she lost her mother and had no baby name. My family called me Sister Xi by her name."

"Sister Xi." Even with the same name, Shoukang's eyes suddenly became wet, "Okay, it's called Sister Xi. When is your birthday?"
