The couple discussed it and finally decided not to let Jiang Huiying go to Princess Fuling's mansion in advance to attend a girls' school - if it had been done before, even if the prince deliberately promoted Prince Hui, it would not lead to disputes between his granddaughters. put one's oar in. The girls under King Huijun dared to bully Jiang Huiying, and Qiu Yilan dared to come to settle accounts with Chu Yitong!
But it's different now.
Prince Huijun made such a big concession to Jiang Yashuang, but Prince Chongjun's palace still wanted to worry about the conflicts between the younger children. Isn't this too shameful
Even people on Jiang Yashuang's side have doubts about Jiang Yashuang and his wife's ability and character.
So: "Let's coax Ying'er to stay at home for another year. If she feels bored, take her to live with her brother and step-brother... I remember Guo Guo is three years old too. She will be four next year. Maybe she can follow Ying'er. It will be much better to have a companion when the time comes."
Qiu Yilan felt very sorry: "If my brother and sister-in-law's eldest daughter had not died in infancy, she would have been four years old this year. There is no need to wait until next year. Ying'er can have a companion now."
"When my brother and sister-in-law came back, didn't the imperial doctor say that my sister-in-law would be fine after a year or two?" Jiang Yashuang comforted, "It's been two years now. I think my sister-in-law will have good news soon. of."
The matter was settled like this. No matter how unhappy Jiang Huiying was, she was just a child. The tears of grievance on her cheeks had not yet dried. Jiang Yashuang took her to the open ground in the backyard and flew a kite. She immediately clapped her hands and said something. There was a smile.
"Just coax you like this from now on!" Accompanying the child is a strenuous job, but it is only half a day of family fun. When they rested in the evening, Jiang Yashuang still looked tired and said lazily, "Jue'er and Xuan'er are in better health too. , and occasionally let Yinger take them to play in the yard.”
Jiang Jingjue and Jiang Jingxuan are now three years old. After all, they had experienced fetal damage and were born prematurely. They grew slowly and often got sick. Therefore, when Jiang Jinglang and Jiang Huiying were three years old, they were already running around the courtyard to serve the servants all day long, but the two brothers could only be raised in a gentle manner.
However, Jiang Yashuang and his wife had nothing to complain about. After all, the condition of the twins in their infancy was so bad that the couple were secretly mentally prepared that they would not be able to keep them. I am satisfied that I have been able to hold on until now and there are signs of continuous improvement.
"When Jue'er and Xuan'er get better in a few years, I'm afraid our family will be bustling with excitement - boys are always naughty!" Qiu Yilan chuckled, leaning on her husband's arm, "It's just our family that is Ying'er. Not Wen Jingxing either!”
"What does that have to do with it? Although this county prince's mansion is a little smaller than the mansions of Eighth Brother and Sixteenth Brother, it is already very big for our family. Doesn't it look deserted without children running and jumping?" Jiang Yashuang grabbed her hair and played with it on her fingers, saying softly, "We are busy here and there. Listening to their noisy energy makes us feel relaxed!"
At this time, the sound of banging was heard in the distance, and Qiu Yilan hurriedly pushed her husband: "Go to sleep! The sixteenth brother and his family will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and we have to go and greet him!"
Prince Jing’s family returned to Beijing this time because of Prince Jing’s personal health issues. It was not official business. Therefore, although everyone in the government and the public knew that he was back, there was no need to hold any ceremony for his return—this was the Jiang family’s. Private scope.
Prince Jing has always been inconspicuous within the Jiang family. He doesn't have much friendship among the elders of his generation, and he is at the bottom in terms of ranking. Therefore, even though I have come back from a long distance away, I am only greeted by my younger brother and sister-in-law who live in the same room.
... From a distance, I saw that apart from the entourage, the only serious owners in the pavilion were Jiang Yashuang, Qiu Yilan, and a little girl with snow-skinned black hair. In addition, there were no other greeters. Four-year-old Jiang Jinggui was ignorant. asked: "Mom, didn't you say that there are many uncles, elders, and many brothers and sisters in Beijing? Why aren't there many people there?"
Sheng Shishui smiled and touched his head: "They are all busy and they won't come now. When we go to the East Palace to visit your grandparents, we will see you sooner or later!"
When Jiang Jinggui mentioned going to the East Palace to meet the prince and the princess, he just ignored it, but Jiang Huihuan, who was slowly eating candied fruit, frowned and showed a hint of reluctance: "Mother, do you have to go?"
"What are you talking about?" Sheng Shishui scolded gently, "We have come back from a long way away, why don't we go and see our elders?"
She also knew that her daughter had a reason for saying this: in the past few years in Northern Xinjiang, she had been frightened by the look on the princess's face - Jiang Jinggui was still young and didn't understand, while the nine-year-old Jiang Huihuan was already a As a young adult, when I was in Northern Xinjiang, I followed my mother and served my great-grandmother in a timid manner all day long. There was never an easy day!
When the prince and his wife returned to Beijing, Jiang Huihuan was so happy. Who would have thought that he would be happy for only a few days before he was going to visit his aunt again? Thinking about those days in the past, Jiang Huihuan felt like crying. tears!
After all, Prince Jing and his wife were born as concubines and were used to being neglected since childhood. Although the biological mother was the main wife, her life experience was more embarrassing than that of a concubine, and she had been living under the shelter of others since she was a child. They are all very self-aware people. In front of the powerful Crown Princess, they are very happy as long as she does not deliberately cause trouble. They really don't care about some expressions and unpleasant words - if you have to care about grievances at this level , they were already mad to death!
But Jiang Huihuan is different, she is the legitimate daughter!
He grew up with a doting father and mother, and both parents treated him as their darlings—but he was worthless in the eyes of his great-grandmother!
It’s strange that Jiang Huihuan wants to meet the Crown Princess!
After listening to her mother's words, she felt that she was not in the mood to eat her favorite candied fruit. She gave the remaining candied fruit to the maid to put away. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said dejectedly: "The daughter my mother said is also I know. Just thinking about meeting my great-grandmother makes me panic!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Sheng Shishui looked at Jiang Yashuang and his wife who had clearly appeared in his sight. His eyes turned to Jiang Huiying, who was holding on to her father's robe and looking at the motorcade curiously, and said softly, " When we were in Northern Xinjiang, our family was the only one serving your grandparents, and it was not convenient for outsiders to say anything. But now your eighth aunt and your nineteenth aunt are both here, not to mention your current eighth aunt, but you are here. Aunt Nineteen, I have always been very good to her. Now she is here with your Uncle Nineteen and Sister Twenty-three, and she will definitely accompany us to the East Palace to see you later!"
"With their mother and daughter here, they will definitely smooth things over for us. I think your great-grandmother won't embarrass us too much!"
Jiang Huihuan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Seriously?! But my aunt, she..." Poor her, the daughter of a concubine, looked at the expression on the Crown Princess's face and couldn't believe that she could easily get through in front of this aunt.
Sheng Shishui felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Huiying through the gap in the curtain. This niece was ranked after his daughter. She was only five years old this year. She looked spoiled and she definitely didn't have her own daughter. The Crown Princess is well-behaved and knowledgeable, but what's the use? Who asked me to deal with such a mother-in-law? If I don’t have a direct relationship, everything will be over!
It doesn't matter how brilliant and sensible you are!
"Don't worry, your Aunt Nineteen is very popular with your great-grandmother... Speaking of which, she liked you very much when you were a baby. She would hug you often! She would never ignore you!" He comforted you again! When she was talking about her daughter, the carriage just happened to stop. She hurriedly patted her son who was lying on her lap, raised her hand to lift the curtain, and smiled happily at Qiu Yilan, who was leading her daughter over: "Nineteen brothers and sisters! It's really troublesome. You guys came to pick us up in person?"
"We haven't seen each other for several years, and Sister-in-law Sixteen has unexpectedly met?" Qiu Yilan gently pulled her daughter's hand and scolded with a smile, "I've asked you hundreds of times just now, why doesn't Sister-in-law Sixteen stop talking when I see you now?" ?”
Jiang Huiying was not born with stage fright, so she let go of her mother's hand gracefully, stepped forward and saluted, and said sweet greetings: "Hello, Aunt Sixteen! How about Sister Twenty-one and Brother Eighteen?" ! How hard are your aunts, sisters and brothers on the road? "
"Good boy, hello to you too! No matter how hard the journey is, it's not hard to hear you ask me this!" Sheng Shishui had already got out of the carriage, and Qiu Yilan helped him down, and then watched the servant put a pair of The children got out of the car, smiled and leaned over to touch Jiang Huiying's pink cheeks, "Those eyebrows! I don't know what color they will be if they grow further back!"
He joked to Qiu Yilan, "I have always thought that you, the Nineteenth Brother and Sister, are as beautiful as any other in the world. It would take a few hundred years for one of you to be very good. Who would have thought that Ying'er is a bit better than others: you can Don't blame me for destroying your prestige as soon as I meet you, I really think Yinger will be more beautiful than you when she grows up!"
Qiu Yilan laughed and said: "Sister-in-law Sixteen, you have been gone for several years, don't you know? You don't have to wait for Yinger to grow up. Disciple Nineteen Lu He has already arranged for me to be married to his daughter-in-law in the second half of the year!" "
In fact, Fan Sulian's appearance is only on the same level as Qiu Yilan's. Due to the age difference, the former is still as young as a girl, while the latter is now as charming as a young woman. To say who is better, each has his own merits and differences. Convincingly superior.
Qiu Yilan said this, naturally she was praising her quasi-disciple-in-law - she already has four children, and she is still as loving as ever with her husband. Whether she is recognized as the most beautiful woman or not, it really doesn't matter to her. She might as well give it to the younger generation she likes. Yang Yiyang became famous: "That child's appearance is not to mention, but the most rare thing is that she has a gentle and virtuous temperament. I was not as good-tempered as her when I was a teenager!"
Sheng Shishui was shocked when she heard this: "Apart from your own daughter, is there anyone in the world who can rival you in beauty?" Her surprise was probably faked on purpose, just to emphasize Qiu Yilan's point of view. Her appearance is outstanding enough—after all, Sheng Shishui is a woman, and she is not a serious face-control party. How could she be so interested in a young and beautiful girl
Qiu Yilan also understood that Sheng Shishui had given her such face, and of course she would repay it. She looked at Jiang Huihuan, who was standing dignifiedly with a handkerchief in hand, and said with a smile: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and now my eldest son has entered." I’ve learned how to talk about beauty... But Huan’er, I haven’t seen her in these years, is now as beautiful as a flower. This delicate appearance really makes me feel old!”
After complimenting each other and each other's children, they had some food and drink in the pavilion. The two families formed a team and returned to the city to pay a visit to the East Palace. Since Qiu Yilan and her daughter were accompanying them, Sheng Shishui was very excited about this visit. My mother-in-law was quite relaxed, and my sister-in-law and I were in the car together, chatting and laughing very harmoniously.
As a result, fate was not as good as fate: when they arrived at the East Palace, they were asked to go in. They didn't even go to the front hall or the back hall. Several horses came galloping over, jumped off their horses at the entrance of the East Palace, and rushed into the door without even saying hello - The leader is Prince Hui!
"Bago?!" The two brothers who were still waiting for the prince's summons were naturally surprised. They both stepped forward and asked, "Bago is so urgent, but there is something important?"
"You two arrived just in time? That's just in time! Come with me to see your father quickly!" King Huijun was sweating profusely. He raised his sleeves to wipe them as he walked. When he saw his two younger brothers, he ordered without saying a word, "There's something big going on in the south." "
