"You still dare to come?!" Qiu Mengmin was carried back after being tortured in front of the palace gate. Qiu Yilan came to the door with Kang Lizhang on the back. Even everyone in the Xihe Palace knew that it was not appropriate to have another conflict with her at the moment. , seeing her crossing the threshold with a smile, I still felt a rush of blood rushing to my brain!
Qiu Yilan looked surprised: "Come? Could it be that when my uncle and aunt allowed me to serve my grandfather for a few days, they actually kicked me out?" Before anyone from the palace could say anything, she took Kang Lizhang's arm again and sighed, "Even if My uncle and aunt don’t like me being around, so it’s just a matter of sending my cousin back, right?”
When she said this, everyone in the palace was so angry that they vomited blood, but they did not dare to admit that they did not want her to come back. Princess Yang suppressed her anger and said: "You have been away for so many days and you didn't know to come back! Who knew you still remember this?" Home!"
"How is this possible?" Qiu Yilan smiled humbly and sweetly, and said sincerely, "My uncle resigned, and I don't know whether it will be my cousin or cousin who will be in charge of the palace in the future? As a princess, I will always live in the palace and will not move to the palace." Isn't it from the palace's property? In that case, how could I not come back and ask? After all, my parents are gone, and now my uncle has to live with his biological mother, right? "
When asked this question, Qiu Mengmin, who was lying in bed and had not yet applied any medicine, almost couldn't breathe. Princess Yang outside was startled, and then she suppressed her anger and looked at the room -
Although Qiu Mengmin and Mrs. Lu have always preferred their eldest son Qiu Hongzhi, in this court dispute, the Yang family clearly supported their uncle. At this time, the throne should be passed to Princess Yang's biological seventh son Qiu. Yin Zhi
"You will naturally know about this when the time comes." Princess Yang moved her lips and said expressionlessly. After being reminded of the most important matter at hand, she no longer had the intention to hate Qiu Yilan. She just wanted to hurry up and take her away. She sent him away so that she could use the words she mentioned to go in and finalize the successor candidate with Qiu Mengmin, "Since your cousin Kang has come back and you are tired, you can either go back to your yard to rest, or you can continue Go back to the General's Mansion to serve General Ruan... You can take care of it yourself. We have too many things to do here and don't have time to greet you. "
Qiu Yilan let go of Kang Lizhang's arm and took a seat under Princess Yang. She pursed her lips and smiled: "If I really leave, Auntie, you will be in misery!" As she spoke, she looked at Dai with a half-smile. Kang Lizhang, who was wearing a curtain and hat and had not said a word since entering the door.
Kang Lizhang noticed her gaze and flinched!
Princess Yang couldn't help but become suspicious and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
"On the way just now, my cousin promised that if my eldest brother attacks Jue in the future, she will definitely make peace with him and let him treat me kindly." Qiu Yilan said calmly, "It is said that my aunt loves my eldest brother the most among her nephews and nieces, and Lu is the most obedient. Aunt’s words.”
"I didn't say such a thing!" Seeing that Princess Yang looked at him with great resentment after hearing what she said, even though Kangli Zhang was deep in the city and relied on the support of Mrs. Lu, she couldn't help but argue.
Princess Yang was not surprised that her niece had such thoughts, but she didn't have a good impression of Qiu Yilan. In addition, Qiu Mengmin in the room should have been able to hear what was said outside, so she said coldly: "Such a small provocation trick. Dare you show it off?"
"Then aunt might as well ask uncle, who do you want to pass the title to?" Qiu Yilan sneered, raised her voice slightly, and shouted to the room, "Uncle, you have to think clearly, these two court meetings, Yang Tao stood up and said a few words to you. But if you pass the title to the seventh brother... You and your aunt will not have time to teach and care for the seventh brother. How old can the seventh brother be without the help of his uncle's family? ? Since it is necessary, how can you not listen to your uncle? Lu's health is so good, who knows how many years you have been away? He actually raised a filial son for the Yang family!"
"Shut up!" Princess Yang was stunned by her words. She was stunned for a moment before jumping up to stop her. "What nonsense are you talking about! Yinzhi is the prince's youngest son and also his legitimate son. He doesn't want to Who else can the prince turn to? Do you think he is a white-eyed wolf like you?"
Qiu Yilan stood up to dodge, and said with a smile: "What about the youngest son? Who can live without us if Ri Ri is not around? And aunt, do you really think that if you and uncle go to support the Lu family, he can be worthy of the seventh brother?" The real King of Xihe? Don’t be kidding! Do you believe that even if I don’t cause trouble for him, this restless slave can easily make him a puppet?”
"And because of this incident, the court held two dynasties in a row. Now that my uncle has been convicted and punished, can he still stay in the capital? I must take Lu family far away so that everyone can forget it quickly. Is this the case?" Qiu Yilan ran around the seats briskly, but kept saying inflammatory words, "This far away, seventh brother, if he encounters something unpleasant, he doesn't ask his uncle's family, how can he send someone away every time? I'm looking for you two in case of an emergency. So if this throne is passed on to the seventh brother, hey!"
The more Princess Yang heard what she said, the more panicked she became. She couldn't help but take something and want to hit her: "Are you crazy?"
"Auntie, are you crazy?" Qiu Yilan saw that she was going to be cruel, so she stopped running. She stopped, stroking her hair and sneered, "Now that I'm lying on the ground and blackmailing you before I even come in, it's already... It’s your blessing, why do you actually dare to attack me?”
These words made Princess Yang almost fall backwards in anger. She was trembling all over and said: "Why are you a glass man now and can't touch it? Even if your uncle resigns, don't forget that we are always your elders! Your parents No, shouldn’t we teach you a lesson?”
"A lesson is a lesson, and a murder is a murder." Qiu Yilan sneered, "If you touch me, believe it or not, I will lie down for half a year? Anyway, you can even fabricate my grandmother's death, and you are treating my grandmother's only living person badly. My flesh and blood, what’s so strange about me?”
Princess Yang was furious: "I've rebelled against you! I'm telling you -" However, Xiuyan quietly stopped her and persuaded her in a low voice: "Princess, why are you arguing with the Fifth Princess now? The most important thing now is not to let her move. "My lord!"
"What I said is all true." Qiu Yilan had sharp ears and eyes. He heard it immediately and sneered slightly, "If you don't believe me, I will wait here. Auntie, please go in and ask uncle who he wants to take over now."
Her tone was so determined that Princess Yang felt a twitch in her heart: "If the prince ignored her, why didn't he refute it?" The doors between the inner and outer rooms are now wide open, and what is said outside can be heard inside. If it's inside, of course it can also be spread outside.
Princess Yang knew that Qiu Mengmin hated her niece very much. If she could slap Qiu Yilan in the face, it would be impossible for Qiu Mengmin to keep silent.
In particular, although he resigned from the title to fulfill his filial piety, it was still his son who inherited the throne. For Princess Yang, having her son as King of Xihe was much more peaceful than having her husband as King of Xihe. Even if it cost her, she would not be able to become the princess.
Thinking of this, Princess Yang first felt a chill in her heart, and then she became extremely furious... She took a deep breath for a moment, and ignored Qiu Yilan who had begun to enjoy the furnishings in the hall. She hurried into the inner room, shouted away the people waiting inside, and closed After leaving the door, she directly mentioned the throne to Qiu Mengmin: "Look at her arrogance! Do you really think she has the final say on who the throne will be passed to?!"
What disappointed Princess Yang was that she had already said this, but Qiu Mengmin sighed first and then said feebly: "According to my thoughts, I would like Yinzhi to succeed him. After all, he is the legitimate son. But the little nigga said That's right. How talented is Yin? In consideration of the Queen Mother, the court gave our family three days to clean up. Without our support, even if your mother's family takes care of him, the Yang family will not be able to live in the palace every day to help him, right? "I'm not too worried, servant, but that little bastard has tortured us into this state. When the time comes, she plots against Yin Zhi, and Yin Zhi is afraid that he will be dead!"
Princess Yang's heart suddenly became confused. Why did her husband listen to every word Qiu Yilan said
She retorted with a stern face: "You resigned this time because you were caught in the matter of your mother." After saying this, she hated Mrs. Lu even more, and paused before continuing, "Other than that, she What loopholes can we take advantage of? Although Yin Zhi is small, she is not big, and Yin Zhi has many people to help her, so he really can't deal with her? "
Qiu Mengmin said softly: "I didn't pay much attention to it before. She has only started to stand out since Ruan's death. But do you think Yin Zhi can really deal with her?"
Being stared at by her husband, Princess Yang did not have the nerve to say that Qiu Yinzhi would be Qiu Yilan's opponent. She only talked about Qiu Yilan's performance at the court meeting. In the absence of any elders to distract her, Qiu Yinzhi's behavior It's okay for her to torture a bunch of people when she's growing something!
However, as a mother, she always has a reason to speak for her own flesh and blood: "Is Hongzhi her opponent? Don't forget that behind her there is Ruan Qingyan, who won the imperial examination at the age of less than 20, and will end up in the spring of this year. - Regardless of whether he can pass this subject or not, regardless of where his talent lies, Hongzhi is nothing more than a scholar after studying for many years. "
Qiu Mengmin didn't like to hear that his beloved eldest son was belittled: "There are only a handful of young candidates like Ruan Qingyan, and it is even less likely to be a Jinshi. He just wanted to avoid the schemes of his mother and brother in the past, and he took the exam by rushing He came to Beijing in a hurry - don't talk about other people's affairs, Hongzhi is older and can take on more troubles than Yinzhi!"
"No matter how good he is, what about the Lian family? It's rare for the Lian family to come to Beijing. Will that little bastard not ask them to stay longer and beat us up before we leave?!" Princess Yang said angrily, "We still have to shout That old guy from the Lian family is called my uncle, not to mention Hongzhi! After all, my mother-in-law will take care of Yin Zhi, so the Lian family will not dare not give my mother-in-law face now that they have no official position!"
Qiu Mengmin said calmly: "In May of this year, won't the Ding family's daughter be filial piety? When she gets married, are you afraid that the Ding family won't take care of her?" Qiu Hongzhi is twenty-three this year, and he has not yet gotten married at this age. , even if you take away the motherly worries of your fiancée Ding, you are still considered old.
This was also the reason why Qiu Mengmin loved his son at that time. He believed that the eldest son could study and should not marry too early, lest the wife he married before would not be decent enough when he became prosperous in the future. However, Qiu Hongzhi had not yet participated in the child examination, so Qiu Mengmin succeeded to the throne of King Xihe first. There was no need to wait for Qiu Hongzhi to develop well in his studies, and he directly hired him a Hanlin's legitimate daughter, the Ding family, as a child of the prince's family.
Princess Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with Ding before. Even if she was the daughter of Hanlin, Qiu Yin's marriage would definitely be better when she grew up. But now she sneered after hearing this: "This time the Ding family came out to help. Are you talking? In this case, if you let Hongzhi succeed to the throne, who else will the Ding family be busy with during these two court meetings?"
... Qiu Mengmin and his wife spoke in a low voice in the back room, but because the door was closed, they could not be heard outside.
Qiu Yilan had no intention of eavesdropping, and just sat leisurely and appreciated the objects one by one.
However, Kang Lizhang couldn't bear it anymore and asked cautiously: "Can I go back to my mother's place?"
"Go and file a complaint so that she can come over and cause trouble for me?" Qiu Yilan looked at a beige glazed long-necked bottle with all her attention, without raising her head.
Kang Lizhang's heart tightened and she hurriedly said: "How could it be? I'm just afraid that the news of my return will be passed on by the servants and cause you... trouble for you!" Hearing the low-key tone in Kang Lizhang's tone, the servants around him Everyone was surprised!
"I'm not in trouble." Qiu Yilan put down the bottle and smiled kindly at her, but Kang Lizhang felt a chill in her heart. She only heard Qiu Yilan say, "If Aunt Kang comes here, you will be the first to be in trouble. "
Kang Lizhang could only smile bitterly: "But it's up to my cousin to make the decision." The beatings she received in the General's Mansion these days had quickly taught her to be well-behaved and sensible in front of her cousin. Not to mention that Qiu Yilan memorized the location of a mole on her body...
"My aunt hasn't come out for so long. It must be my uncle who wants to make me the eldest brother. Do you believe it or not?" Qiu Yilan said suddenly with a sigh.
"...That's what my cousin said." Kang Lizhang had actually already judged that Qiu Mengmin would do this. Qiu Yinzhi was only eight years old. He was young and not very sensible. If he inherited the title at this age, even if Princess Yang took Qiu Hongzhi with her when she left, How could Qiu Yinzhi become the true King of Xihe
Qiu Mengmin suffered half a lifetime of losses at the hands of her aunt, and finally turned over. Even if she didn't hear that Qiu Yin's succession would be won over by the Yang family, she would definitely prevent the new king from being used as a puppet. He only had two sons, and the younger one was so young. If he didn’t raise the eldest son, who could he raise
Kang Lizhang speculated on Qiu Yilan's thoughts and lowered her voice: "If I ask my seventh cousin to take over the throne, my cousin won't mind it. I can say a few words to my grandmother..."
"Seventh brother succeeds the throne?" Qiu Yilan smiled casually, threw away the yellow-glazed and green-painted four-series jar with lotus petal pattern that he had just picked up, and said with a strange expression, "No, no, no, actually, I'm here to help in times of need. —There is a good way to make my uncle less embarrassed and preserve his title, but I don’t know if he wants to listen to it?”
Qiu Yilan suddenly raised her voice in her last words. Before she finished speaking, she heard a "clang" and something broke.
After a while, Princess Yang opened the door with an ugly face and came out: "Have you seen enough of our jokes?!"
