"Why did Sister-in-law Sixteen come in person?" Qiu Yilan smiled brightly and asked Jiang Jinglang and Jiang Huiying to take their cousins to play in the courtyard. She turned around and frowned at Princess Jingjun, " And you brought your two children?”
"I feel so wronged by what my brother and sister said. Do you think we, mother and son, have disturbed the purity of your place?" Princess Jingjun said in surprise, "You have never been so disgusted with us before!"
"If this place is really clean, I won't chase you away!" Qiu Yilan waved his hands for the servants to leave, and motioned for his sister-in-law to sit down on the soft couch under the west window with him. He said calmly, "Bago caught ten people there. The assassins sent by Jiu were very quarrelsome at the previous court meeting. Although they did not convict Jiu Jiu in court, our family cannot leave the Chongjun Palace now. I am afraid that it will only be a matter of time to abolish or demote. Something happened! The emperor's grandfather was saddened by the death of the emperor's grandmother. Now he lives in Funing Palace and has his father in custody. Even Lang'er was sent back... You brought Huan'er and Gui'er to my place. This is not for you. Looking for trouble?"
Princess Jingjun laughed at herself: "I wouldn't have come if I was worried about this - to tell you the truth, I wish I could be implicated today. The couple and their children were demoted far away from the capital, and the title It doesn’t matter if you have something or not, just leave some property to live on!”
Qiu Yilan frowned and looked at her: "Didn't sister-in-law just take two beautiful concubines for Brother Sixteen?"
"Since the Hanbei incident has come to an end, he probably feels that people have already entered the backyard anyway. What does it matter if there are more people or less people?" Princess Jingjun said calmly, "Although those people have entered the backyard, what does it matter?" My life is still young, so I don’t dare to do anything to me, but it will be hard to say in a few days! What’s the point of doing this to the princess? I would rather he have nothing, but no one else will come with us. Mother and son are separated!”
"But if you openly bring Huan'er and Gui'er here, I'm afraid Brother Sixteen will also be unhappy?"
"It doesn't matter." Princess Jingjun smiled, "I told him that it was because the news about him taking concubines reached his mother's ears, but I don't know if she was unhappy about it? Just in case, I wanted to go to my mother. Give him a few explanations. But I can't get over to my eighth sister-in-law for a while, and I'm afraid that the time will go by and I won't explain it to my mother, so I have to come to you."
When she said this, she heard Qiu Yilan smile bitterly: "I'm just like Nineteen now, I can't even leave the house, let alone go to see my mother? Sixteenth sister-in-law came up with this reason, I'm afraid Sixteenth brother won't believe it if I turn around! "
Princess Jingjun pursed her lips, a trace of resentment flashed between her brows, but she did not continue to talk about her own affairs, but comforted her: "Anyway, the emperor's grandfather is still here, even if Lang'er is temporarily sent back. In a few days, the matter with the Imperial Grandmother will calm down, and she will definitely take him back! This time, the people on Bago's side were too vicious, and they even fabricated such ridiculous accusations as Brother Nineteen, and they did it completely. We have obtained personal and material evidence—presumably the situation has forced you to stay in the house for a few days. How can we still detain you when the truth is found out later?”
"The imperial grandfather just asked my father to supervise the country. If he comes out to overturn my father's decision now, where do you think my father's face will go?" Qiu Yilan sighed with disinterest, "I was thinking about it earlier... That's all, it's come to this point. , Don’t say those words anymore. Now I just hope that my father and mother will give our family a way to survive for the sake of their legitimate sons and grandsons. "
Looking at Princess Jingjun, "But I'm sorry for you - this time you are really going to be dragged into the water by us. That eighth sister-in-law, I'm not saying bad things about her, she really doesn't have a very broad mind. From now on..."
"Although the two assassins caught by Brother Bagh confessed that they were sent by the Nineteenth Clan, they are not without suspicion. This matter is not settled now, right? You..." Princess Jingjun was stunned. After a while, he asked tentatively, "Are you just going to resign yourself to fate?"
Qiu Yilan pointed to the children outside the glass window, who were sweating profusely while playing in the heat, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not willing to give in! But you see, the overall situation has been decided, I dare to be willful?"
Princess Jingjun fell silent for a while, and then said after a while: "Maybe the situation is not so bad? According to my father and mother's point of view, although they don't want Nineteenth to be a grandson, they also hope that Nineteenth can assist Starling in the future. How can that be? Let Nineteen fall into the trap of being a brother-killer? Once this reputation is established, not to mention how Nineteen will be able to stand in the court in the future, how will he and Ba Ge meet in the future? "
"What you said makes sense, but you also know that even though the attitude of father and mother is already known to everyone, the absurdity of Bage in his early years is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! Therefore, even if some of the officials in the court are willing to comply with the wishes of father and mother, it is There are many people who still disapprove of Bage." Qiu Yilan pursed her lips and said lightly, "So if Nineteen doesn't have some rebellious flaws, you think your parents would push Bage to that position... In the future, you can rest assured?"
What if Jiang Yashuang kicks his brother off the throne as soon as the prince and his wife close their eyes
In order to prevent this situation, we can only be cruel to Jiang Yashuang!
Princess Jingjun heard the meaning of her words and was silent for a long time before saying: "You just said you were worried about Sister-in-law Eight, which made me feel uneasy! Brother Yi will not deliberately embarrass our family. But Eighth sister-in-law... I'm really not sure."
The voice suddenly dropped, "The eighth sister-in-law is from her natal family. King Yongyi was an important minister in the previous dynasty. In this dynasty, he is still a prince. With the support of his father, his popularity in the dynasty has already surpassed that of Prime Minister Xue. ! You said... If Bage succeeds to the throne, will King Yongyi think our family is too annoying? "
Qiu Yilan narrowed her eyes: Princess Jingjun’s words are very heartbreaking!
Anyone who knows Prince Hui will admit that although this Prince is a complete scumbag and does not seek to improve himself, it is undeniable that he is really not confused in major matters.
Otherwise, he would not have tried so hard to reject the temptation of being emperor.
However, no matter how smart Prince Hui is, he is just a playboy who has been idle for many years. The rule of the world cannot be supported by IQ alone. If he has no foundation or accumulation, if he just sits in that position, sooner or later he will be played to death by his subordinates. !
The word "cultivation" does not mean that it can be solved by giving a high position.
Otherwise, how can we say that it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people
The current meaning of Princess Jingjun's words is obviously the plan of Prince Yongyi and his daughter. Under the guise of supporting Prince Huijun's ascension to the throne, they want to wait until the death of the prince and his wife, and use their status as the father-in-law and queen to kill Huijun. The king's two biological brothers - by that time, how could King Hui, who had been too lazy to think about anything except playing with women and having fun since he was a teenager, to resist
Of course, the current thinking of the prince and his wife is obviously not counting on King Huijun's ability to govern the country, and they will definitely prepare him in this regard. For example, Jiang Jingkun.
But the identity of Chu Yitong's stepmother is enough to crush this first wife's legitimate son in terms of filial piety!
Just like Jiang Yashuang is now suppressed by the prince and his wife.
If that happens, Prince Yongyi's Palace will probably be the Jiang Banchao - then Jiang Manchao, and finally, nine out of ten, will kill the young Da Qin and restore the Rui clan... After all, everyone knows that King Yongyi is the former Rui clan. , not an ordinary clan!
He had served as the former chief minister of Ruizong, and was posthumously named crown prince by his adopted father!
"Eighth sister-in-law and I have disliked each other for quite some time!" Qiu Yilan said calmly after a long silence, "According to our two personalities, reconciliation is completely impossible! But in front of my mother It’s just a show.”
"But Sister Sixteen, you are different. You have not offended her directly. Now you will give her a generous gift to apologize. There should be a chance to redeem yourself?"
After hearing these words, Princess Jingjun said after a while: "Do you think Sister-in-law Eight needs me now?"
Qiu Yilan apologized: "It's all us who have dragged you down!"
"..." Princess Jingjun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything else. She just said, "How can I blame you? It was my own choice. If you want to blame me, you can only blame me for having such a husband. I have no choice but to make such a choice. !”
After a pause, she changed the subject and talked about trivial matters.
It wasn't until we had lunch at Chongjun Prince's Mansion that he said goodbye: "I have something to do and want to come back in two days. I'm afraid it won't be convenient to go through the front door then!"
"Then just go through the back corner door, and I will tell them to keep it quiet!" Qiu Yilan didn't ask what the matter was, and nodded and agreed directly.
... After seeing off the guests, Qiu Yilan ordered her children to be placed after they were tired from playing, changed into ordinary clothes, and walked towards the study room in the front yard.
Naturally, Jiang Yashuang was in the study at this moment, but he was not alone. Lu He, who was full of shame, was carefully answering his homework in front of him. Just by looking at Jiang Yashuang's ugly face, he knew that his answer must be very bad.
"Master!" Seeing Qiu Yilan coming over, Lu He's face deepened with shame, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Jiang Yashuang said coldly: "You go back first, there is no need to come here today! Go and copy each of these books a hundred times, and then come and see me!"
"Yes!" Lu He didn't dare to bargain even a word, he saluted almost dejectedly, and hurried away with his head lowered!
"I listened when I came in. It's not difficult for you to ask. I can answer a few questions. How about He'er?" Qiu Yilan asked puzzledly.
Jiang Yashuang sighed: "It's really not difficult! If he can't answer, it's not because he really doesn't know how. It's because he feels guilty about what happened this time and can't let it go! Now his mind is not on the book at all, so that's why he didn't even know how to answer it. He couldn’t answer any of his homework, so I punished him by copying books just to make him meditate!”
Qiu Yilan nodded and stopped asking. Anyway, Jiang Yashuang had his own arrangements for this disciple. She sat down not far from her husband's desk and said, "Sister-in-law Sixteen just left."
"What did she say?"
"Of course." Qiu Yilan raised her eyebrows, "I told you last time that something was wrong with her. Sure enough, she told you when she left today that she would come back to me in two days, but she just asked me to keep quiet!"
Jiang Yashuang remained silent.
"I know you respect both Brother Ba and Brother Sixteen, but although Brother Ba never listens to Sister-in-law Eight's instigation, I think Brother Sixteen may not have the same thoughts!" Qiu Yilan didn't care about his lack of answer and just thought about herself. He said confidently, "But I don't want to embarrass you, so I will handle this matter myself, and you can just pretend you don't know anything!"
"I really don't want to fall out with my brothers, but I don't want to ignore you and the children, right?" Jiang Yashuang rubbed her brows, "In my opinion..."
"Since it's Sixteenth Sister-in-law who's coming forward, it's a battle in the backyard. Why do you, a grown man, get involved?" Qiu Yilan rolled her eyes at him, "Or do you think I'm such a waste? What's going on ahead of you, unless you follow I said, how many times have I intervened and pursued you? Why did you think of taking my power first when I didn’t care about it
Seeing Jiang Yashuang still talking, she was really unhappy, "You'd better get over the assassination of Bage first! Grandfather can't speak for us now. It depends on where our family falls in the future. Why are you bothering with such trivial matters? Do you want me to be your childbearer and housekeeper
"Be careful!" Jiang Yashuang knew that she was extremely unreasonable when she acted arrogantly, not to mention that it was right at this time for the main wife to handle matters in the back house? I knew that if I tried to persuade her, she would definitely scold me, so I didn't bother to bother, but I still explained, "I won't tell you the things ahead, because I think you have to take care of the family and the children. I'm busy enough, why should I worry about you any more? Besides, I should take care of things in the front yard and make your mother's life easy. What’s the difference? I’m your husband, not your son! Even if I’m such an old person, why should I complain every day?”
These words made Qiu Yilan "chick" and laugh out loud!
