... Although Prince Su and his wife have kept a low profile in the past two years, they are still a family. Even if Qiu Yilan doesn't pay attention to the things happening in the backyard of Prince Ji's Mansion, he often hears about them.
For example, Princess Ji's Princess Mi was never very satisfied with her youngest son's stepwife: firstly, Princess Ji always felt sorry for her niece Xiaomi's divorce; secondly, Princess Feng Hanyan of Su County was chosen by Princess Ji herself. Princess Ji didn't get involved at all!
So even though Princess Sujun respected Princess Ji very much, Princess Ji never liked her very much.
At this time, the palace man hesitated and said: "It seems that he can't stand what Princess Ji said..."
The three princes, concubine, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all instantly imagined all the vicious ways that Princess Ji had tortured her daughter-in-law for many years. The prince and concubine had no friendship with Mi Shiyuan, but because of the old King Ji, she had always been kind to Liufang. At this moment, she also She couldn't help but grimace: "Why is Mi so crazy?! Other people's daughters shouldn't be treated like human beings, right?!"
Although the Crown Princess was very strict with her concubine's daughter-in-law, she protected and loved her daughter-in-law in every possible way, even going so far as to teach her daughter-in-law to be jealous. Of course, she couldn't bear to see Princess Ji abusing a decent daughter-in-law, so she happened to have two daughters-in-law in front of her, so she ordered , "You two go to Prince Ji's Mansion and find out what's going on?! Our family can't tolerate casually ruining the younger generation - especially when Lan'er's eldest son, who has been waiting for so long, is just a week old, right?! As a result, my mother is gone, what’s the matter?”
Princess Sujun gave birth to a son in March last year. It is also March now, and the weekly banquet will be held in two days. The Crown Princess, Chu Yitong and Qiu Yilan have even prepared congratulatory gifts. Who would have thought that The child's first birthday has not passed yet, but he has lost his mother. Although Chu Yitong and Qiu Yilan did not deal with each other, they did not get along with Feng Hanyan. It was because they both married into the Jiang family as second-choice couples, so they felt the same way at this moment. , after receiving the order, he solemnly said: "Don't worry, mother! My wife will definitely figure out the ins and outs of the matter!"
Qiu Yilan also promised: "My daughter-in-law will never let the thirteenth sister-in-law suffer injustice!"
The two people made such promises, and the atmosphere in the hall became a bit chilly. The palace servant who came to report the news thought for a while, and said weakly: "The Crown Princess, the two County Princesses, actually... In fact, Su County The princess is not dead!”
"Um?"
The prince's concubine, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned.
"... Princess Sujun was discovered by her wet nurse not long after she swallowed the gold. The wet nurse happened to know a folk remedy, so she quickly sent people to the kitchen to find a handful of leeks and forced Princess Sujun to eat it raw! Now according to the doctor, she is fine!" The palace man said cautiously, "It's just that Prince Su was furious about this and is now clamoring to move out of Prince Ji's Mansion - Princess Ji is old and lacks energy, so someone came to report and asked the Crown Princess to handle the matter, so..."
In fact, Jiang Yalan should open a mansion alone after receiving the title of County King. Unfortunately, Princess Ji and Prince Ji and his wife are both here. According to the rules of this society, before the elder passes away, the brothers should live together, otherwise there will inevitably be discussions about filial piety. - Of course, the royal family is an exception - so the couple and their children still live in Prince Ji's Mansion.
But now Princess Ji has driven her daughter-in-law to a dead end, and this is not the first time that Princess Ji has tricked Prince Su. It is reasonable for Prince Su to be intolerable.
"..." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were speechless for a while, and the Crown Princess said with a gloomy face, "Even if the person is not dead, since my aunt wants me to handle this matter, I must know what happened!"
"Daughter-in-law, go to Prince Ji's Mansion now!" Chu Yitong and Qiu Yilan said hurriedly.
The two sisters-in-law left their daughter in the East Palace temporarily and took a car to Prince Ji's Mansion. At this time, the front yard of the palace was fine, but the back yard was a mess. When they arrived at the main hall, the wife of the Crown Prince, Guan Shi, was waiting at the door. After meeting each other, she greeted the ceremony and lowered her voice: "This thing is a bit weird. Mother and concubine are very angry." Qing, now..."
"Our mother is very angry!" Chu Yitong felt uncomfortable when he heard this. Princess Sujun finally came back with her life, and you actually said that Princess Ji was very angry - the one who was abused Your daughter-in-law is not you, so you can just lie here with your eyes open, right? !
Guan immediately interrupted and said calmly, "So let's come over and ask what's going on. I won't bother you, brothers and sisters, to waste your time! Please take us to see Sixth Aunt and explain everything clearly in person!"
Guan was quite speechless and said: "Eighth sister-in-law, I really feel like this..."
"Ten younger brothers and sisters, mother is still waiting for news in the East Palace. Besides, this matter is not something we can deal with. After all, we are just here to run errands. Don't you think so?" Chu Yitong interrupted her again impatiently - Mrs. Guan Knowing that there was no point in talking, he could only lead them in depressedly: "The concubine is inside, please!"
Qiu Yilan glanced at the main hall, but stopped walking: "Since the eighth sister-in-law has gone to ask the sixth aunt, how about I go and see the younger aunt and the thirteenth sister-in-law?"
"Whatever!" Chu Yitong said lightly and stepped through the threshold first. Guan had no choice but to call a steward in a hurry: "You lead the nineteen younger siblings to the concubine and the thirteen younger siblings!"
Qiu Yilan went to see Concubine Ji first. The old man was obviously severely hit by this incident, his energy was no longer strong, and he was lying on the couch. He was not interested in talking when he saw her. So Qiu Yilan said goodbye and resigned.
When I went to visit Princess Sujun again, Feng Hanyan happened to be awake. Seeing her open her mouth, she burst into tears before she uttered a word: "Nineteenth brother and sister, why are you here?"
"Mother called me and the eighth sister-in-law here!" Qiu Yilan sat down on the embroidery stool next to the couch and complained, "You tell me! It's hard to explain clearly what happened. Even though the sixth aunt has a motherly and impatient nature, isn't there still a child? Auntie, Grandmother and Mother are here! Are you going to take this narrow road? Think about Brother Thirteen and think about your children! What should you do if you are so angry?"
"Don't I know that I'm sorry for them by doing this? But I really have no choice..." Princess Sujun choked up after just saying a word. Qiu Yilan quickly comforted her and finally calmed her down. Chu Yitong had already finished talking to Princess Ji and was about to leave. He sent someone over to ask her: "My dear, are you going back to the East Palace to resume your life right now, or are you?"
"Sister-in-law Thirteen, it seems that it is not appropriate to talk too much now, so I'd better say goodbye!" Qiu Yilan stood up after hearing this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Princess Sujun would be fine next, so she left simply. .
When the two sisters-in-law returned to the East Palace, Chu Yitong's tone was obviously angry when he reported to the Crown Princess: "The sixth aunt thinks that everything is caused by the thirteen brothers and sisters making unreasonable troubles! But when the daughter-in-law asked the thirteen brothers and sisters how to make trouble unreasonably, she said no Come up with a reason, just say that she never scolded the thirteen younger siblings, the thirteen younger siblings were just tormenting them!"
"It took a lot of effort for her and Lan'er to have their eldest son, and Lan'er is an honest person. She hasn't accepted anyone since she entered the house!" The Crown Princess laughed angrily, "The husband and wife are loving, the youngest son is on their knees, and they are also granted the title of county. The title of Princess—Isn’t it possible that Mi was too young to let go of such a wonderful life and lied like this?”
Chu Yitong also had the same idea and said: "The sixth aunt refuses to admit it to her life. My daughter-in-law is a junior, and there is nothing she can do. So I didn't ask anything, and I asked my mother to punish me!"
"Didn't I say that Yilan and you split up and went to see Princess Sujun?" The princess looked at Qiu Yilan noncommittally.
"Sister-in-law Thirteen just cried and refused to say anything!" Qiu Yilan sighed.
The Crown Princess was silent for a while and said calmly: "My little aunt is still here, so I can't get too involved in the affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion. But since my little aunt has entrusted me with this matter, then I will make the final decision!"
He told Chang’s mother, “You will go to the front in a moment and let Lan’er and his wife choose the house!”
This is what promised Jiang Yalan and his wife to be single.
Chu Yitong was still a little angry: "Mother, Sixth Aunt—"
"She is your sixth uncle's first wife after all!" the princess said calmly, turning the bracelet on her wrist.
Knowing that the Crown Princess had no intention of specifically punishing Princess Ji, Chu Yitong sighed secretly and said, "Yes! My wife is Meng Lang!"
"It's almost time to go home, you should go back home!" The Crown Princess glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the room and gave the order to expel the guests.
Naturally, the two sisters-in-law did not dare to continue to rely on each other. After resigning, they went to the side hall to pick up their daughter. After leaving the East Palace, they went home separately. Because they had seen and heard the anxious look of Prince Hui in front of the East Palace gate, Qiu Qiu Yilan originally thought that her husband would come back very late today, but she found out after she got home: "Nineteen came back early? Where are the others?"
"The prince is in the study." The servant followed her and told her, "He has been there since he came back and he hasn't come out yet."
"What's wrong with him?" After hearing this, Qiu Yilan thought her husband was in a bad mood when he came back. She turned around and wanted to go to the study. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a servant: "Your Majesty, the prince summoned many people to discuss matters in the study, and ordered not to disturb them. This..."
"Meeting matters?" Qiu Yilan was slightly surprised when she thought of what Prince Hui had said before about something big happening in the south. "Is that what happened? Jiang Yadan's appearance seems serious, but if it is really serious, Why did Nineteen come back before me? It can’t be that Jiang Tianchi doesn’t want him to participate in political affairs now, right?”
Then what are you doing leaving Jiang Yashuang in Beijing
She pondered for a moment, then changed the path back to the backyard, and only told the servants: "Be careful!"
After returning to the house, Qiu Yilan took her daughter to see the twins, played with the three children for a while, and watched dusk fall.
After taking the children to have a meal and settling them one by one, Qiu Yilan dragged her tired body to bathe and change clothes.
Just after lying down on the couch, Jiang Yashuang finally came back from the discussion.
His face looked very tired, but his eyes were bright. It was rare for him to show some sharpness in front of his wife. He stood at the door of the room and asked about his children before going to eat and freshen up.
After he packed up and returned to his room, Qiu Yilan thought that he would not talk about what happened in Prince Ji's Mansion because he was too tired today. As a result, Jiang Yashuang first told her about the major events that happened in the south: "The officials over there were too greedy and exploitative, which triggered a civil uprising! Not only that, when the civil uprising first started, it could have been calmed down, but in the end, The officials on the border thought they could suppress it, and they believed they had support in the government, so they concealed the news and intensified their efforts... Now the civil uprising has involved three major counties, and even surrounding counties and counties are showing signs of being ready to try it! "
Qiu Yilan was shocked: "Whose subordinate is so stupid?! Could it be?"
Although it is said that the Jiang family relied on military exploits and usurped the throne through military power, the Zhenbei Army has now freed up its hands, so it is not necessarily afraid of this civil uprising - but if it is not afraid of returning, which ruler likes a civil uprising? ! Fighting is expensive!
Especially now that Xue Chang is dead, the Qin Dynasty has not found another prime minister who is as good at making money as him!
The most terrible thing is that it has only been a few days since the Jiang family usurped the throne? If one accidentally ignites this civil uprising, the whole country may raise the banner of anti-Qin Furui!
"Could it be that the people who were recruited by the Nineteen Years ago caused such a thing?!" Qiu Yilan originally didn't believe that the father-in-law would exclude Jiang Yashuang from discussing politics, but if this provoked a popular uprising, he tried to conceal it and The officials who are becoming more and more fierce are Jiang Yashuang's subordinates, that...
Jiang Yashuang sighed: "It's Bago's people!"
