Two days later, Princess Jingjun dressed lightly and simply, dressed as a servant, and quietly entered through the corner door to see Qiu Yilan.
As soon as her sister-in-law saw each other, she burst into tears without saying anything: "I originally wanted to tell you last time, but I didn't find out thoroughly at that time. Now I know how much my eighth sister-in-law hates me!"
Qiu Yilan had long been suspicious of her, but at this moment she remained calm and cooperated with her expression of surprise: "What's going on?! Sister-in-law, sit down quickly and speak slowly!"
"Where did Hanbei and the two beautiful concubines you found for me come from?" Princess Jingjun's words made Qiu Yilan change her face: "Is it possible?!"
"Their serious masters are all eighth sisters-in-law!" Princess Jingjun wiped her tears and said with a sneer, "If it hadn't been for a coincidence that made me know the truth, I would never have imagined that I just refused the eighth sister-in-law's solicitation. , I thought my attitude at that time was low enough. Even though my husband cannot be compared to my eighth brother, he is still the same father! Can’t we survive if we don’t want to be her slaves? "
"... You blame me for this. I also checked the two people brought out of Yinchun Tower and found nothing wrong with them!" Qiu Yilan looked annoyed, with a mixture of resentment and surprise in her expression, "Look Come on, our eighth sister-in-law’s hands are longer than expected!”
At this point, she had already guessed the purpose of Princess Jingjun, and she didn't want to talk to her for too long, so she deliberately said, "Fortunately, you found out early, and there are only three concubines. That Hanbei can do something." Just let her go. As for those two concubines, why don't you find two more for Brother Sixteen? Where can you buy more young and beautiful girls in this world?"
"I can buy it, but eighth sister-in-law can't buy it?" Sure enough, Princess Jingjun looked at her with red eyes and told her the purpose of going around in circles these days, "Now that my mother is still here, eighth sister-in-law hasn't sat in that seat yet, she does things It’s not that convenient yet—what do you think she will do to Huan’er and Gui’er when she becomes the master?”
Qiu Yilan sighed and said helplessly: "A wife is more valuable than her husband, what can we do now?"
"It is true that a wife is more valuable than her husband, but the eighth sister-in-law is not as lucky as you!" Princess Jingjun showed a look of contempt on her face, "Firstly, she is very knowledgeable, secondly, she is young and beautiful, and thirdly, the most important thing is It’s just that the mother is still here! Otherwise, given Brother Ba’s current status, it would be very difficult for her to end up like the previous Sister-in-law!”
She wiped away her tears and said resolutely, "I will never trust this sister-in-law - instead of lying at her feet and resigning myself to fate in the future, it is better to do it now..."
At this point, she stopped talking and looked at Qiu Yilan, "I can't do this by myself, but I don't know what you mean, my 19th brother and sister?! Allow me to say something unpleasant: Sister-in-law Eight is now I definitely hate you more than I hate you. Besides, there are so many sisters-in-law in our family, and you are the most enviable. Even I sometimes think about the purity of your house. Looking at the troubles in my own house, I feel uncomfortable. But what is my background? I have already reached a high level to marry a husband! But the eighth sister-in-law is different!"
Qian Rui, a serious and legitimate princess, is definitely second to none among the wives of the Jiang family in terms of blood and status!
Even though Qiu Yilan's previous title was the same as hers, the king with a different surname is not as noble as the clan king by default. The most important thing is that because Qiu Yilan's biological father was plotted against her, her life was not a good one! Even after Chu Yitong's mother-in-law died unexpectedly, her brothers and sisters-in-law still loved her as a daughter at home!
Chu Xiao made a political marriage with her, but he never wronged her in life. After all, he was used to it.
But compared to the generally beautiful girlhood, her marriage was really not a beautiful one. It was already unfair enough for her to have such a noble status. She became the mother of a group of children without getting married! The most important thing is that he has his first wife and his legitimate son!
Even though he received strong support from his mother-in-law before he married, hasn't his husband's new and old loves gradually increased over the years
Under such circumstances, it is disappointing that there is a sister-in-law in the same generation who does not have to worry about anything, while the husband just keeps himself clean. Not feeling uncomfortable is something only a saint can do.
With Chu Yitong's arrogant heart, it's not surprising that he would feel frustrated and resentful.
After Princess Jingjun finished speaking, she took a breath and continued, "Brother and sister, it doesn't matter if you don't participate. Anyway, I have made up my mind!"
"But what are you going to do alone?" Qiu Yilan turned the bracelet on her wrist and said slowly, "Now that the eighth sister-in-law hates you and me, she will definitely not give us a chance to get close! Besides, even if you risk your life to fight with her, Do you think your father and mother will let Prince Jing go if you die together?"
Princess Jingjun bit her lips and said after a while: "Since I am here to tell you this, no matter whether you interfere or not, there is nothing to hide: Bago once had a concubine named Hongshan. Her origin was somewhat special. No. Do you remember my sister-in-law?"
"Hongshan?" Qiu Yilan thought for a long time before she had a vague impression, "You mean... the time when Man'er came out of the cabinet, when Bago congratulated him at his uncle's house, and he drank too much?"
The Crown Princess was very angry that time - the Zhuang family knew that Prince Hui wanted to take over a beautiful young woman when he saw it, so he specially sent Mrs. Wen's maid named Hongshan to serve him. Shan's appearance can only be regarded as not ugly, so nothing will happen to her.
In the end, who would have thought that Prince Hui would drink too much and not look at his face at all
If Mrs. Wen hadn't taken pity on her confidant for many years and begged the Crown Princess to let her enter the backyard of King Huijun, where she had been in the limelight for two years and was married off as a concubine of a high family with a generous dowry, Hongshan, who had been abandoned by her fiancé, would probably have died. I can hang myself with a rope.
"Is that the one who promised someone a few years ago?" Qiu Yilan was surprised on her face, but she was even more surprised in her heart - she had heard about Hongshan Xu when she went out, but because it was about Prince Huijun's backyard, she usually didn't arrive. She had been here before, so of course she heard it but pretended not to know.
Counting the time, when Hongshan entered the Jiang family and when she was allowed to leave, it seemed that Prince Jing and his wife were both in Northern Xinjiang, right
Overestimating the plot of Prince Jing and his wife, Qiu Yilan suppressed her anger and said, "Why did Sixteenth Sister-in-law meet her just after she came back? Could it be that she still has any connections in Bago's backyard that she can use?" "
While they were bickering, the Dingxihou Mansion was filled with joy—since the eldest daughter of Dingxihou’s wife Ou Qinglan died prematurely, she finally had one again!
Qiu Jinglan, who was already thirty years old, was certainly overjoyed!
However, although Ou Qinglan's natal family still had some relatives, Qiu Jinglan only had a cousin and a younger sister. Therefore, after the Ou family said goodbye and left, the huge Dingxi Hou Mansion inevitably became deserted again.
But none of this hurt the mood of the couple.
Just talking about the child, the topic unknowingly came up with Prince Chongjun's Mansion: "The Crown Prince has gone too far! Even if he is determined to support Prince Hui, why is he even charged with brother-killing on Nineteen?! This Aren’t you pushing Nineteen to death?”
Because of her mother's brother, Ou Qinglan and Jiang Yashuang were childhood sweethearts. Although they had never developed a romantic relationship, they could still be considered brothers and sisters.
Now Jiang Yashuang is in a worrying situation, and she is in the midst of the sentimentality of being pregnant again. She can't help but feel particularly worried at this moment, "The prince and the princess have changed a lot in the past two years. I remember that when I was in Northern Xinjiang, they always treated me as a child." From the perspective of my daughter, every time my brother and I go to Northern Xinjiang from Beijing, they have to carefully ask about the situation of Shijiu and the others! Not only the princess will ask, but even the prince will take time out of his busy schedule to ask them one by one, even if it is just one day. It’s such a small thing that they often feel satisfied after hearing it over and over again. At that time, they really missed their own flesh and blood—but now they don’t!”
Qiu Jinglan pinched the tip of her nose lovingly and said with a smile: "You are pregnant now, so don't worry about anything! I will take care of everything!"
"Don't do anything stupid!" Ou Qinglan panicked when he heard this. "Although you have served as the general of Zhenxi before, but now you have been re-elected. The Zhenxi army still doesn't know that you have been cooked by the prince. What's going on - it's not like before! I don't know whether the one in my belly is a boy or a girl! What if you call us two girls?"
"I said I resisted, but I didn't say I would rebel!" Qiu Jinglan couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you think that I only know how to fight and kill? After all, I have been a serious Jinshi, right?"
In fact, his reputation and talent in both the government and the public are better than those of generals - after all, he led the Zhenxi Army in the battle, not to mention how much effort the Jiang family contributed behind the scenes and how much heritage the Ruan Qiu family left him, let alone his achievements. , just regaining lost ground. He failed to expand his territory again!
The famous "Gancheng of the Country" from the previous dynasty is still there. In the past few decades, the demands of the government and the public for famous generals have been carefully supported by Emperor Zhaode's brothers. Qiu Jinglan's record has not been matched by many who have never been to the frontier. From the perspective of people who are used to the elite Zhenxi Army and the fierce Zhenbei Army, it is okay at best.
How could he have the honor of being the youngest Jinshi in both the previous and current dynasties
It's just that Ou Qinglan has been following her husband in the army since she left the cabinet. At that time, Qiu Jinglan was busy controlling the military power of the Western Army all day long, and there was no time for intrigues and intrigues. How could she have time to accompany her poetic mood? Besides, he doesn't really like people who are always elegant. Learning those elegant methods to please girls is nothing more than an attempt to make connections through the romantic field - he has already put so much effort outside, and living at home is naturally simple and natural.
Therefore, when Ou Qinglan looks at her husband, she often overlooks that he is actually famous for his talent.
At this moment, seeing that Qiu Jinglan didn't seem to be perfunctory with her, she breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly warned: "It's agreed, no matter what you do, think of us first!" It's not that she is selfish, but as a mother, you have to Think about your children, right
Besides, she really doesn't expect Qiu Jinglan to do anything for her sister and brother-in-law. As a descendant of the Zhenbei Army with upright roots, she is very aware of the power of the Jiang family in the military! It is definitely not something that young Qiu Jinglan can deal with, unless nothing happens to the Ruan Qiu family and the elders are still there!
But she didn't know that after Qiu Jinglan finished coaxing her and went to the study to discuss matters with Ren Ziyong, she just said lightly about the current situation in Chongjun Prince's Mansion: "Jiang Jiujiu can really bear it!"
"The prince probably didn't expect that his son would actually see the overall situation from the beginning. All his earlier plans were disrupted, and now he doesn't know how it will end?"
"Just watch, I finally had a child again, and I don't have the time to care about these messy things right now. If there's nothing wrong with Lanlan, don't come to me for anything else!"
