Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

"Mom He, are the apples you peeled still pressed into apple juice?" Hainan asked.

The main thing is that my wife hasn't peeled the apple for a while.

It was fine earlier, the sun was not that cold, and my wife said that the apples would turn yellow if left for a while, so it would be better to crush them into juice and send them to the ladies; but now that it is the twelfth lunar month, will the juice be too cold...

The lady was thinking about something, Hainan didn't dare to disturb her, so she came out first with apples, and happened to see He Ma.

He's mother then looked into the room and saw that his wife was still peeling apples. He's mother looked at the plate in Hainan's hand and sighed softly, "It's too cold. Cut it into pieces and make fruit tea and send it to various gardens." .”

"I understand." Hainan said happily.

Looking at Hainan's back, He Ma looked into the gap again.

I started peeling apples again. That was the temporary calm brought by this trip to Beijing. It was probably coming to an end...

He Ma sighed softly in her heart, and a cloud of worry appeared on her forehead.

"Sent from Madam's Court." Mother Zhong pointed to the pot of fruit tea on the table.

Ning Ma is not very good-looking, "You're so good, what kind of fruit tea do you want to give me? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

Zhong Ma opened the teapot and looked at it, "It's quite satisfactory."

Ning Ma frowned, "It's better, don't give the third lady a drink~"

Mother Zhong was a little helpless, "Madam asked someone to bring it to you, but you stopped her and refused to give it to you. Can you still carry it clearly?"

She also said she couldn't hold her head clearly.

Ning Ma tried her best to keep silent, but she still couldn't hold it back, "You can carry it clearly, then tell me, Madam is going to take the Third Miss to Prince Zhuang's Mansion in the future. Will she take the two of us with her?"

For the past two days, Madam and the Third Miss were alone together, intentionally leaving them alone.

Either he takes the third lady for a walk in the mansion, or he waits for the third lady and lets the third lady go on her own.

Be nice!

In addition, it was reported earlier that the fees for the garden would be deducted, and Madam meant to make things look bad for both of them.

It's on the surface, but not entirely.

You can't guess what Madam is thinking.

Days like this are always scary. In the past, the third lady was very easy to take care of. Now she is next to the madam. The madam comes and goes without making a sound. She suddenly appears at the door. She was frizzy when she combed her hair earlier. Yes, I covered the other side with a headdress. I don’t dare to do it now. Madam has appeared while combing her hair for three consecutive days!

It feels like someone is watching you from behind.

After a long time, everyone gets tired!

I will bring you a pot of fruit tea, and everyone will guess around the fruit tea for a long time!

The last time I went to explore the old lady's background, she was kicked out.

As the New Year approaches, Ning's mother becomes more and more irritable.

"Aren't you just going to see Princess Zhuang? What are you in a hurry for?" Mother Zhong was calm.

Ning's mother suddenly became angry, "Why am I in a hurry? Aren't you in a hurry?"

Mother Zhong glanced at her and said quietly, "You dare to go directly to the old lady, how can I be as anxious as you are?"

Ning’s mother: “…”

Ning's mother's aura suddenly dropped by half.

"I've already told you to be patient and don't move until the end of the year, or just wait for the opportunity. Why are you so anxious?" Mother Zhong said scornfully, "Are you anxious to get something good to eat? Why don't you let others catch you? Out……"

The remaining half of Ning Ma's aura also slumped.

Mother Zhong finally turned around and said, "There are ways to go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and there are ways not to go if you don't go."

Ning Ma blinked her eyes, realizing she was at a disadvantage, and listened carefully.

"Go, then people have to watch. The place next to Miss Third will not be better without us. If Miss Third is separated from us, Madam will be discussed in the capital in the future. This will touch Madam's interests. She Her interests were harmed, why did she touch us? We have to prove to Madam and Jingzhong to see our value by the Third Miss’s side, and let others say that Madam is very good to Third Miss, that’s enough.”

After Zhong Ma finished speaking, Ning Ma swallowed softly and looked like she wanted to continue listening.

"If you don't want to go, there are advantages to not going. What do you think Madam has been doing with the Third Miss these past two days? Princess Zhuang asked to see the Third Young Miss by name. If the Third Young Miss and Madam behaved strangely, they wouldn't listen. As for Madam, isn't Madam making a fool of herself in public? Madam, she is from the Antang Ruan family, how could she let such a reputation hang on herself? So haven't you been training the third lady these days? If you really don't let us get together in the future, If we go, she can't take them alone, her face will be dull, and she won't mention other things in the future. So, if we are not allowed to go, there is a way to not let us go, then let the third lady do it in the future …”

Speaking of this, Zhong Ma leaned closer and Ning Ma listened, but the more she listened, the more frightened and excited she became on her face.

"This is good!" Ning's mother couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Mother Zhong looked at her again, "Sometimes, you have to use your brain when doing things, and don't go head-on. What Madam cares about is never you and me, but what she looks like in the eyes of others..."

"Yes, yes!" Ning's mother smiled from ear to ear this time.

*

A sneeze!

Ruan Tao sneezed twice in succession.

"Oh, where is my wife? I gave you a cape, why did you take it off yourself?" As soon as He Ma saw her taking off her clothes, her whole body started to feel bad.

Ruan Tao explained, "The charcoal in the house was too hot..."

"Where is it hot? Where is it hot?" He Ma appeared in various places in the house from different angles.

Ruan Tao sometimes admired He Ma's unique imagination.

But He Ma has a spirit of never giving up until she achieves her goal. For example, she must put the cloak on her body before the matter is over; otherwise, tonight, she will have to wait for He Ma's round after round. of bombardment.

"I have to catch the wind and cold before the New Year!" He Ma complained, then hurriedly said "bah bah bah" a few times, and then read quickly, "A crow's mouth is a crow's mouth, there are no taboos."

Ruan Tao smiled, "Does the crow know?"

He Ma: "..."

He Ma turned to look at her.

Only then did Ruan Tao stop laughing and said "seriously", "Quick, He Ma, have a bowl of the secret ginger soup!"

He Ma was speechless.

……

But in the end, the ginger soup was handed over to her.

Ruan Tao picked it up and took a big sip.

Only then did He Ma's face show an expression that could "respite death".

In Ruan Tao's memory, in just over half a year of knowing He Ma, she drank more ginger soup than all the medicine she had taken earlier combined.

Here at He Ma, there's nothing that ginger soup can't solve. If it doesn't work, just two bowls.

For example, right now, after finishing one bowl, He Ma conjures another bowl like a magic trick.

Ruan Tao had no choice but to say seriously, "Actually, I thought about it just now. It's probably not the wind and cold. I don't need another bowl of secret ginger soup. The frequency of sneezing just now should be because someone was talking about me, and there was hope for my well-being." , there are also people who expect bad things from me. I can’t expect bad things from me because others expect me to be good. Others don’t have to do anything. I’ll drink ginger soup~”

He Ma has a big head.

Ruan Tao showed a cute smile.

In the end, the ginger soup was dispensed with, but I had to put on another layer of thick cloak before giving up.

But just after the little interlude, I changed my mind and continued the topic I had not finished thinking about just now.

But just now is the part of peeling the apple - pure imagination.

Now comes the analysis phase - auxiliary lines need to be drawn.

Ruan Tao sighed softly and began to list the words on the page one by one.

In the first column, the emperor was afraid of Fu Boyun.

In the second column, the emperor reconciled with Fu Boyun.

This is a watershed.

Moreover, it is a watershed on the bright side.

That is to say, starting from the appearance of Rong Lianqu, the subtle relationship between the emperor and Fu Boyun slowly shifted from the first column to the second column.

Because the emperor trusted Rong Lianqu.

Because the emperor is a woman.

Therefore, the balance in the emperor's heart will gradually tilt towards the people he trusts. Especially, the emperor's special status means that she has a natural filter for women.

This is an obvious watershed and easy to see.

However, among all the complicated and intertwined plots at the moment, there is probably a hidden line of watershed.

This watershed is likely to be the opposite of the obvious watershed.

That is to say, the appearance of someone made the relationship between the emperor and Fu Boyun more and more subtle, making the emperor fearful of Fu Boyun. What's more, the appearance of someone may have added fuel to the fire behind the scenes, allowing Fu Boyun to discover the emperor's identity and force the emperor to join forces. There is a gap between Fu Boyun, and this gap is getting bigger and bigger. When you plant this seed, no matter how you view this person in the future, this seed will be dark in your heart.

She had never met the emperor before, so she might not be able to connect these clues together.

But she had met the emperor and knew exactly who he was.

The emperor's thoughts were extremely thoughtful and meticulous.

It is difficult for such a person to be influenced by others without knowing it, unless this person is someone she trusts extremely much.

For example, clock phase and so on.

But these people all stood in conspicuous places in the court. The more conspicuous they were, the easier they were to be noticed by the emperor.

Therefore, it is possible that this person has always been behind the emperor's back, not "interfering" in government affairs, and will not be "seen" by the emperor, but the emperor is willing to trust this person from the bottom of his heart——

Princess Zhuang.

Ruan Tao's hand holding the pen was hanging in the air.

Rong Lianqu appeared in front of the emperor's sight. The emperor was not only very afraid of Fu Boyun, but also thought about Fu Boyun's death. At this time, it was also before the timeline of her time traveling through the book.

She perfectly avoided Princess Zhuang.

The old marquis was secretly escorted to Beijing, and Fu Boyun was forced to go to the army, as if some kind of agreement had been reached.

In these agreements, Fu Aoquan was raised in the Nanping Marquis Mansion.

The old Marquis and Fu Boyun would often take her to Beijing, even more often than Changge...

Yes, Fu Aoquan was adopted by Mr. Hou.

But at the same time, it was Princess Zhuang who was fostered in the Nanping Marquis Mansion.

The old marquis was secretly escorted to Beijing. Who has the ability to persuade the emperor to release him?

Fu Boyun was forced to go to Beijing because Princess Zhuang wanted to make sure that the Nanping Marquis Mansion she chose had a helmsman who could hold up the boat.

She wanted the emperor and Fu Boyun to check and balance each other, and she wanted Fu Boyun as a chess piece.

She had kept her daughter by her side earlier, but in the end it backfired; but suddenly she discovered that during the years when her daughter disappeared, she left a child behind, so she thought of raising the child somewhere far away from Beijing, but where she could see it every year. .

Therefore, Fu Boyun stayed away from the capital, but left many hidden clues in the capital, and there were also foreshadowings like Zeng Er buried in the capital.

But Song Bo, Fu Boyun's most trusted person and the person who knew the most about the Nanping Marquis Mansion, had not yet entered the capital this time.

Yes, the Nanping Marquis Mansion has too many things to deal with, but isn't Changge's title more important than these?

She had thought earlier that the Nanping Marquis Mansion hid something more important than the title of Changge, so Uncle Song had to stay in Huicheng first.

But now, she suddenly felt the same.

Uncle Song did not go north because he knew enough.

Princess Zhuang also knew that Uncle Song knew enough.

If Uncle Song comes to Beijing, he will have to face Princess Zhuang directly about many things.

It is equivalent to a showdown with Princess Zhuang...

If Uncle Song enters Beijing, he may not have the chance to leave Beijing again.

Therefore, Uncle Song wanted to know everything.

If one day, she meets Uncle Song in Beijing.

That is, Uncle Song has no plans to leave Beijing...
