I don’t know if it was expected by Queen Xin’s mother-in-law, but Chu Yitong’s hard work gave birth to a daughter. Of course, Mrs. Tao came over to visit her in person, and hugged the child and praised her full of words, “She’s really handsome with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes.” "Like parents" and "If you cry loudly, you are a healthy child", but Qin Guogong did not report it specifically, he just said it in passing when talking about other things.
In this case, of course, don't expect Qin Guogong to specially name this great-granddaughter. It's not that he treated Chu Yitong and her daughter badly, but that the Jiang family has been prosperous since their grandchildren. When the Duke of Qin was worried about state affairs, he couldn't even take care of his grandsons, nephews, great-grandsons, and great-nephews. How could he have the energy to take care of the girl who would be an outsider sooner or later—Jiang Huiying, the legitimate daughter of Jiang Yashuang and his wife? He's two years old and he hasn't even mentioned it once.
Therefore, this baby girl who was ranked twenty-fourth was named "Bao" by her father Jiang Yadan when she was about ten days old. Adding her surname and ranking, she became Jiang Huibao.
"This name can make the eighth sister-in-law feel more relaxed, right?" In order to prepare full-moon wine for Jiang Huibao, He Shuijin made a special trip to the fourth room, but did not say a few words to Chu Yitong, who was in confinement. He came to see Qiu Yilan, and as soon as he met, he smiled half-heartedly and said, "Although he is not his son, he is still Bage's treasure!"
Qiu Yilan was playing with her daughter at the moment. After Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang were targeted by Jiang Yashuang with a ruler, she was suddenly free. Apart from worrying about the situation in Western Xinjiang, she was spending time with her daughter. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and ask: "Were you neglected over there? Why did you say that right away?"
He Shuijin sneered and said, "I took Yinger's meeting's rules for handling full-month emergencies and showed them to her, but she didn't have any objections at first. But when she heard that it was Yinger's meeting's rules, she wasn't very happy and told me directly. She didn’t like it and asked me to make a new one!”
Chu Yitong was trying to break up with Qiu Yilan, not He Shuijin. She also knew this. The problem was, "I'm so busy now. Ya'er started coughing three days ago and hasn't had it yet." Okay, I just want to go back and spend some time with him after I finish my work! Where can I get this free time?"
It turns out that Jiang Jingya is involved. No wonder He Shuijin, who has always been in the city, is so angry!
Qiu Yilan suddenly realized and asked with concern: "Why does Ya'er's cough last so long? Have you seen another doctor?"
"It was changed yesterday and new medicine was prescribed. This morning, the person who served him said that his cough was better, but he is still coughing." He Shuijin sighed, "The servant said he wants to eat peaches. I'm watching the market. The ones I bought today are not good enough. I remembered that you always have seasonal fruits sent by the farmer. I happened to be on my way, so I came to ask for some! "
Qiu Yilan hurriedly called someone to get the peaches that were delivered this morning, and apologized: "I didn't know Ya'er liked it. If I had known, I would have sent it to him directly!"
"He actually doesn't like eating these very much. It's because he hasn't been feeling well these past two days. I just thought about it." He Shuijin said with a smile, "You don't have to give it to him. I guess he can only eat two peaches at most and don't want them anymore." "
After getting the peach, she left. Qiu Yilan knew that she was worried about her son and didn't want to stay.
After sending He Shuijin away, Qiu Yilan saw that her daughter was sleepy, so she asked her wet nurse to carry her back to the house to settle her. She felt her shoulders were a little sore, so she called Hibiscus to give her a squeeze.
Mu Jin, who had been there just now, was squeezing her shoulders and said angrily: "The Eighth Young Madam is really too much. The Young Madam has never felt sorry for her, but she just stares at you to make things difficult for you!"
"If you think this way, you are playing into the hands of the Fourteenth Sister-in-law!" Qiu Yilan smiled lightly.
Mu Jin was shocked and blurted out: "Mrs. Eighth Young Master didn't say that?"
"We're not there, who knows what they said?" Qiu Yilan said disapprovingly, "Besides, even if the eighth sister-in-law asks for Bao'er's full moon wine to be different from Ying'er's, she doesn't necessarily mean it for me. Yes, how can you say that she is also the eldest daughter-in-law of our fourth room, and she is only allowed to change her behavior after just a banquet? "
Seeing Mu Jin biting her lip, Qiu Yilan narrowed her eyes and said, "Our room is in a good situation now, but it will be a joke if we start fighting among ourselves because of this!"
"My maid is guilty!" Mu Jin heard her beating and immediately knelt down, sweating profusely, "My maid never meant to instigate you. You are really stupid and didn't see the thoughts of the Fourteenth Young Madam!"
"Think more about it when you encounter problems in the future!" Qiu Yilan glanced at her. She watched the hibiscus grow in front of her. She didn't usually have any contact with Shuijin. It shouldn't be the case that she was talking to Shuijin this time. He was bribed, but was young and inexperienced. So I asked her to get up and peel it off, "Pinch it for a while!"
... The news that Chu Yitong gave birth to a daughter reached the palace, and Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Xin discussed the matter of canonizing the granddaughter of the fourth bedroom as a princess. The emperor strongly agreed with this: "It just so happens that I don't have any daughters under my knees. After the two children are made princesses, they can often be brought into the palace to be Shao'er's companions!"
Regardless of what he meant when he said this, it made the Queen Mother and the Empress think of something else: "Shao'er, Huiying, and Huibao are almost the same age. If nothing unexpected happens, they must be childhood sweethearts..."
In fact, even if they are not childhood sweethearts, according to current estimates, Chu Shao's wife will definitely not leave the Jiang family in the future.
Of course, if they can cultivate feelings from an early age and love each other even in a political marriage, the Queen Mother and the Queen will be happy to see it happen.
However, considering the future queen, the Queen Mother and the Empress felt a little embarrassed: "The best candidate is Huiying. Her parents are close to both of us! Besides, Xiaoba lives by his father's influence. Jiu is a promising person! It’s just that Huibao is the eldest son of the fourth family, and he is about the same age as Huiying. If he often takes Huiying into the palace to play with Shaoer, but does not take Huibao, I’m afraid he will The eighth daughter-in-law will be unhappy!"
The Queen Mother and the Queen didn't care about Chu Yitong's unhappiness. What they were worried about was the attitude of Jiang Tianchi and his wife, especially Jiang Tianchi: "Uncle Zhenbei loves his eldest son very much. Although there is a huge gap in wisdom and stupidity between Xiaoba and Shijiu, Uncle Zhenbei doesn't seem to care much about it... If you look down on it... I'm afraid Uncle Zhenbei will be unhappy if he finds out about Xiaoba's legitimate daughter. Then he won't be able to blame us and will blame us, but he will blame the Nineteenth couple for doing something bad out of good intentions!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, so they shelved the decision for now - the children were still young anyway, and they were still in the palace at the moment, so they were not in a hurry to be canonized at this time.
However, after the news secretly spread, the Duke of E's wife became anxious. She came to the palace to see her daughter and asked immediately: "Is the Queen Mother looking for a wife for Shao'er?"
"It's nothing!" The queen didn't expect that these words would reach her mother's ears - she still didn't know Jiang Tianhe's purpose? At the moment, his eyes were a little cold when he looked around, but he covered them up in an instant and ordered everyone in the palace to step back. Then he said nonchalantly, "How old is Shao'er? Is it the time to talk about this?"
"Don't coax me!" Jiang Tianhe said suspiciously, "It is said that he plans to choose between Jiang Huiying and Jiang Huibao? In order to make their childhood sweethearts happy in the future, they also plan to make them princesses together so that they can often visit the palace? "
She said sadly, "Queen, why are you so stupid?! The Jiang family is powerful and famous for pampering their children! Look at your cousins, Princess Qi, Ou Bikong's wife... who is not a master who is spoiled to the point of lawlessness? Son? I’m going to make you a daughter-in-law. With the power of your mother’s family, you may be very angry!”
His voice lowered, "Besides, even though you are the granddaughter of the Jiang family, you are separated by just one surname! Even if these two are easy to talk to, how can you be as reliable as your niece? Are you willing to say something heartbreaking for your mother? Will you be a puppet of the Jiang family for the rest of your life?"
The queen was just listening with a frown, but her expression suddenly changed when she heard the last sentence, and she shouted: "Mother! You have gone too far!"
"..." Jiang Tianhe was startled by his daughter's sudden anger, and his previous aggressiveness dissipated, but he still said unwillingly, "Although it was the Queen Mother who chose you in the first place, and you became the Queen! But that doesn't mean that She loves you so much, doesn't she? If the Jiang family really didn't have a suitable girl, how could she take advantage of our family? You should seize this opportunity. With the power of the Jiang family, if you choose a wife from their family again, this will happen. How can our family get ahead?"
The Queen felt exhausted physically and mentally: "Our Xin family is not from a high background, but we are here today because of the support of our mother..."
"How noble can the Jiang family be?" Jiang Tianhe unceremoniously revealed the background of his natal family, "How many years did your uncle and grandfather work as slaves for others - how powerful is the Jiang family now?! This is the saying that heroes should not ask where they come from!”
"In short, it is untrue to settle the marriage for Shao'er now!" The queen's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth and said, "I just want to be a favor to the fourth member of the Jiang family - I had this idea when Huiying was born, but ten Ninth Cousin and Nineteenth Cousin didn’t want to go beyond Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law! That’s why they started discussing it again after Eighth Sister-in-law gave birth to their legitimate daughter!”
Although she was a daughter, she had been in the palace for several years and had always been respected. She had already become a phoenix. At this moment, she was sitting on the phoenix throne, looking down with an expressionless face. The fierce and fierce Jiang Tianhe couldn't help but shrink his head, not daring to go any further. Quarrel.
"You are my mother. Whether you believe me or those messed-up people, it's up to you!" The queen looked at her coldly for a moment, closed her eyes, and said in a tone without any emotion.
It turned out that the queen was sent back to Beijing to live with her grandmother after only a few years with her parents. Because Jiang Tianhe and his wife were focused on reaping benefits by staying in Guanzhou, and felt that there was no immediate high position waiting for them when they returned to Beijing, they preferred flesh and blood despite their daughter's repeated pleas. Separation - Later, after Qiu Yilan suggested it, the queen returned to Beijing after being wronged. The queen said in her heart that it was impossible not to complain at all.
After Jiang Tianhe and his wife returned to Beijing, at first the queen was very happy to have her parents to protect her and her mother to stand up for her.
As a result, within a few months, Jiang Tianhe's frequent rudeness and unforgiving behavior gave the queen a headache. It was her attitude that completely pushed the sixth family of the Jiang family into the opposite direction. Since then, the Xin family has been developing vigorously through her name!
The queen is not a fool. How could she not know that before the Jiang family declined and had a large number of troops, the Xin family chose a queen? The queen was chosen only after Empress Dowager Jiang fought hard. How could she want to compete with the Jiang family for power? How is it different from seeking death? !
But every time she tried to persuade Jiang Tianhe, Jiang Tianhe thought it was for her own good: "The queen mother and the noble concubine are both daughters of the Jiang family. If our Xin family is still deserted, how can you have any dignity in this palace?"
After realizing that his daughter was not so obedient, Jiang Tianhe even reached out to the Bei Que Palace and bribed the queen to control her daughter. Even Empress Dowager Jiang did not treat the queen like this. How could the queen not be angry? !
After saying this, he lost interest in saying anything to Jiang Tianhe and waved his hand, "I am going to see Shao'er. It's hot. Mrs. E Guo, please come back too!"
The Queen has never been one to put on airs. Except for grand ceremonies, she still addresses people she is close to, such as Qiu Yilan and Zhuang Man, by the names they used before leaving the cabinet. She is even less pretentious towards her biological mother. Now she suddenly calls herself "this palace" and calls Jiang Tianhe "Mrs. E Guoguo". The alienation is self-evident.
Jiang Tianhe felt a chill in his heart and looked at her blankly: "You..."
