Little Cui didn't know the imperial concubine's order, so she left the palace with a blushing face. When she returned to the house, she saw a woman waiting, so she sent her daughter to another place. She didn't like it, so she complained: " He said, if Ming Run'er is very young, would it be inappropriate to mention it to the imperial concubine? We have to ask him to tell her, tomorrow, even though the imperial concubine didn't say anything rude, looking at her face, she was very unhappy. "
"The imperial concubine is not happy if she is not happy. You are her biological sister-in-law. What can she do to you?" The woman listened, but she didn't agree and said, "Besides, you can't deny their Xie family's property." Bloodline will be considered in the future.”
After that, he was surprised and said, "It's fine if I don't agree to marry Miss Run to the Seventh Prince. After all, the Yin family is watching. The imperial concubine really wants to use the Yin family, so she won't deny it to the Seventh Prince at that time." The principal concubine is at odds with them. But the concubine in the east of the Jin Prince's palace doesn't agree either?"
Xiao Cui said: "He only has one daughter. Why do you want her to be a concubine? He didn't say concubine, he just said that Run'er and the King of Jin were very compatible. The imperial concubine didn't look very good at that time and made remarks. Blocked him back."
"How could you do that?" the woman couldn't help scolding, "I have already said that the imperial concubine is so ambitious. When she had no biological son, she even taught King Qin and others to suppress the heirs in the middle palace. After having biological flesh and blood, she would not try to fight for it. Fight for that position? In this case, how can you marry Miss Run to the Jin Dynasty? Then you have to win over a helping hand. Maybe you want to get the idea of Miss Ningguo Gongfu! If you say that, no wonder the imperial concubine is unhappy . But the side concubine is different. Is it true that the niece of her mother’s family is very close to Princess Bixincheng, and the imperial concubine has wronged her? "
Then he said, "Besides, with a mother-in-law like the Imperial Concubine, what are you worried about? How could she make Miss Run feel wronged!"
"... Anyway, it doesn't matter if I can't be the princess." Little Cui bit her lip, "As far as Run'er's status in front of the imperial concubine, as long as she can marry the royal family, she will feel superior to anyone she marries. Isn't that bad? There is nothing you can do but go to the royal family and suffer injustice!"
The woman hated the iron and said: "Are you really confused? If you marry a child of an ordinary family and have a noble concubine holding you down, you won't be wronged. Can the concubine be Miss Run's aunt? What if the concubine is no longer there in the future? ? No, at that time, Miss Run probably already had children around her, her position in her husband's family was stable, and she was protected by the children of the imperial concubine... But, how long can such protection last? It's so cool to leave! After such grace has declined, Do you really want to work hard to earn a future?! Do you want to join the royal family..."
"But the queen is here, and the direct prince in the east has become more and more decent in the past two years." Xiao Cui snorted, "The imperial concubine... He does hope that the imperial concubine will succeed, but he can't, Run'er has entered the royal family, Is there anything good going on?"
"Miss Run is very young. Even if she decides to get married, she will have to wait for several years before she can get married. Will you stop seeing her when the time comes?" The woman suggested that the situation would be good and sold the concubine, "But please think about it. Let Miss Run have a good future, how can we delay it at that time? Don’t forget that King Qin Dongdu is thirteen, and the Seventh Prince is twelve, and they are already discussing marriage! If you don’t discuss it now, the marriage will be decided later. , is it possible for the imperial concubine to make the princes regret their marriage? There is a prince in the Jin Dynasty. Even though he is younger, the imperial concubine has to take precautions and find a good candidate in advance? Even not only the principal concubine, but also the side concubines and concubines are thinking about it. "
"After missing out, how much trouble would it be to arrange for Miss Run?"
"Then it's better to be the imperial concubine."
As he spoke, he glanced at the frowning little Mr. Cui and sighed, "Madam, that's not good for our mother and daughter! Ms. Xie's family is not high in the first place, and her success depends entirely on the imperial concubine. In the early days, the population was prosperous, and how many It's a good thing. If there are not many people left in Ruming, there are a lot of people. Can Sui'an be it the Prince Consort, Mr. Fu Forget, Mr. Li, etc. Who is with our mother and daughter? Concubine Ruming Very well, for the sake of the concubine, they treated us mother and daughter well. From now on, if the concubine is gone and Miss Run comes to ask for something, they will definitely pay attention to it? Don’t forget, when the uncle’s matter came out Afterwards, the prince-in-law was also severely doubted."
"In the past two years, wasn't it true that there was a lot of news about the prince-in-law raising a wife outside?"
"Just explain it clearly before."
"Otherwise, the Prince Consort's east field will not be very good."
"My prince-in-law doesn't say anything, but in his heart he doesn't resent my uncle and vent his anger on you and Miss Run?"
"For the future of our mother and daughter, if we don't count on Miss Run's marriage, what can we count on?"
... Those wrong words were quickly reported to Yun Fenghuang, and Chen Jing whispered: "It sounds like it is not the Cui Mansion's suggestion, but the Cui Mansion has ulterior motives, and I am looking for it."
The imperial concubine nodded slightly and said, "If ordinary parents plan for their children, forget it."
She thought that Xiao Cui and her daughter were softer after all, they didn't want to take things seriously, and they didn't want to argue with them.
Besides, what the woman said was wrong. Even if Xiao Cui tried to play tricks, she would ultimately consider Xie Run's future or seek benefits for Xie's bloodline.
As for Yun Fenghuang, whether it was worth turning a blind eye or not, she felt somewhat guilty for wronging Mr. Xie.
As a member of the Xie family's bloodline and a biological niece, Yun Fenghuang was willing to spare some time for her.
After Yu Chu ordered this matter, he stopped paying attention for the time being, but asked about the situation at Shan Yuan Temple.
Chen Jing said: "In accordance with the instructions of the empress, I secretly gave instructions to the people of Shanyuan Temple. After Qian's mother and daughter arrived, they were assigned to a woodshed in the back mountain... "
As a Taoist temple with close ties to the royal family, Shanyuan Temple once often received distinguished people such as the Empress Dowager, Queen Mother, Empress, and Concubines. It had many residences, both foreign and domestic, and most of them were luxurious and extravagant, even compared to the homes of ordinary officials.
However, Yun Fenghuang used his plan to arrange for Qian's mother and daughter to practice cultivation. Otherwise, he had other agendas and would not allow them to enjoy the blessings.
With her status and Shan Yuanguan's loneliness after being estranged from the royal family for two years, she naturally did not dare to disobey.
Therefore, not only were Qian's mother and daughter sent to live in a woodshed, but they were also in dire need of various supplies.
As for their mother and daughter, the Qian family was not of high birth, and they were the legitimate daughters of the Jin gentry family. They had been taken care of since childhood. When had they ever had sex in Chunwan? There is no need to talk about the daughters. When they were born, their father was already well-known and he was the daughter of a promising minister. Du Langu was incorruptible, but the slaves could not be used. In addition, In Yue, he often goes in and out of wealthy families, he is delicate and expensive, and he doesn't know how to do any work.
The people who favored Yuan Guan were ordered by Chen Jing to send someone to monitor them, saying that since the concubines and empresses had allowed them to practice, they could not send others to do the many chores. If they did so, they would be dishonest. Could they ask for a report? The royal concubine’s.
Mother and daughter's confinement period was simply unbearable to look back on.
After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I am used to a confinement life where I am used to being slaves and maids. I do everything myself and it is really hard work. The key is that Shanyuan Guan is not a good person. He does not give anything to others. Even firewood was left to them.
In addition to a leaky firewood shed, they only provided some firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and even the vegetables were tied up, except for those that were wilted.
As for meat, it is even more unacceptable.
The reason is that the imperial concubine asked them to practice cultivation, or to travel around and enjoy life. Besides, being vegetarian can help to purify the soul, which is very suitable for their kind of lay people who have been confused by the world...
Qian and her daughter collapsed after just three days! ! !
But what made them even more desperate was later: on the fourth day, the Taoist temple told them that the Taoist temple had no surplus food, which meant that if Qian and her daughter wanted to continue to get rice and firewood, they had to help the Taoist temple work.
Otherwise, they have no reason to keep idle people.
As a Taoist temple that has received top dignitaries more than once, Shanyuan Temple was completely indifferent to the Qian family's mother and daughter's behavior of bringing Du Langu out to threaten them. They even expressed that Du Langu's arrival violated the rules: after all, God Didong did not believe that Taoist temples deserved to be favored by others, and even the sharp-tongued Taoist nun asked back, could it be that Mr. Du is used to eating and drinking outside, so his family members should take it for granted
Those words made Qian and her daughter speechless.
After all, the daughters are young, and although they are in pain, they are still living their lives reluctantly.
The most worrying thing for Ms. Fu Qian was that she found that in just a few short months, her outstretched legs had aged a lot.
She was not particularly beautiful to begin with, she was just pretty in appearance. Because he was born in a good family, he also maintained a fine skin and tender flesh.
But after all, after having given birth to several children and reaching such an age, how can I afford the hard work
In that kind of life, every day is just the same.
It's hard for Qian not to worry. If he lives like this for a few months, even if he can go back home soon, the appearance that has been polished by him will not come back... Du Langu's heart will really not be seduced by those young and beautiful goblins.
"Qian Ruming started to take the initiative to find the people in Shanyuan Temple to shut up. Otherwise, the Taoist temple was very tight-lipped and no one paid attention to them." Chen Jing said softly, "In addition, our people secretly observed and did not Found some clues."
"After all, how can a place like the Empress Dowager's nobles be so easy to explore?" Yun Fenghuang nodded and said, "Otherwise, don't we need to be so cautious?"
Chen Jing said no, and then said: "There is something very strange: the daughters of Qian's neighbor got into a fight yesterday."
Yun Fenghuang asked: "Is it because of that time with a woman?"
"No, no," Chen Jing said, "The reason was indeed that the other daughters besieged the daughter that time, or that she leaked the information to the Seventh Princess, which caused the mother and daughter to suffer such unexpected disasters... But that time, the daughter was worthy of being honest. The master who dared to provoke the princess actually managed to win over the eldest sister, and together they targeted the younger sisters in Didong. The girls in Ruming got into a fight, and Qian couldn't stop them despite being scolded several times, which was quite torture."
"The mother and daughter are quite lively." Yun Fenghuang smiled and said without taking it seriously, "I'm afraid Shanyuan Temple has many secrets. I, Ruming, don't know those secrets very well. I don’t know if it will be useful in the future. But what about Buhuang? Since there is an opportunity to arrange for people to go in, we must not miss it. I told the people there to be careful... If the situation is good, we should also control Dongqian's mother and daughter. Don’t make too much of a fuss.”
This does not mean that he is afraid of Shanyuan Temple. After all, without the support of the Empress Dowager and other dignitaries, in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, it is just a Taoist temple with its own useful secrets.
Lord, don’t be afraid of attracting other people’s attention.
She didn't want to share that clue with anyone else.
Furthermore, if Chunjia pays attention...
Whether she can share it or not is not a question.
