People from the backyard couldn't easily come to the front yard. In addition, she had just had an attack on Concubine Li. For a while, no woman in the backyard dared to cause trouble, which made Qianghua relax for a few days.

Several boys in the mansion have reached the stage of enlightenment and schooling. Even the youngest, the fourth, is only five years old and was put into the enlightenment class by Concubine Li.

The eldest son and fourth son of the family are the children of Concubine Li, one is ten years old and the other is five years old.

The second and third children are the children of Concubine Song, one is nine years old and the other is seven years old.

On weekdays, because the mothers of both parties do not deal with each other, the two parties are naturally not that close under the influence. Although they will not fight when they meet, the little people have learned how to annoy the people who serve the other party.

As for their sister Zhao Mingzhu, the four of them looked down upon her even more. Even if her sister was the legitimate daughter, she was just a girl. Their mother had already told them that she would at most give them away with a dowry. If the princess could not give birth to a child in the future, Son, this sister still has to live by their faces!

Qianghua looked at the information in her hand and really didn't know what to say.

This princess is really hard to evaluate.

Obviously, both in her mother's family and her husband's family, her status is higher than that of the two concubines, but she behaves as if she is inherently inferior. She tolerates the two concubines and the children born by the two concubines.

From birth to now, these four children have never come to see the princess on weekdays except to pay tribute to the princess during holidays. Even if they saw her at home, they would only salute perfunctorily and then run away immediately.

The roses continued to scroll down. These four children did not want to see the princess, but they accepted gifts from others without politeness. If they were the slightest, they would dare to embarrass their aunt.

Qianghua was really speechless.

The princess couldn't stand up not because she didn't give birth to a boy, but because she acted like this as soon as she walked in, as if she owed everyone in the world.

No, not everyone. At least she felt that she didn't owe her daughter. She even felt that the daughter she gave birth to would have to join her in making amends to other people in the world.

This "everyone" is quite interesting. Ordinary people, servants, and people whose status is much lower than hers are not in the scope of "people" in her mind.

As for Prince Xian, he gave all the respect he should give to the princess, and all matters in the backyard were decided by the princess. Even if someone in the backyard used his favor to provoke the princess, the result would only be disfavor and grounding, without exception, so This princess shouldn't live her life like a doormat!

Qianghua couldn't figure it out.

Prince Xian is an extremely scumbag and an egoist. He treats everyone except his brother and the late Queen Mother as scum!

He doesn't like Zhao Mingzhu, and he doesn't necessarily like his sons that much, otherwise these sons wouldn't be able to develop that kind of virtue.

Obviously they are also descendants of the royal family, and their father is the brother of the emperor's mother. However, when these people grow up, they act like other people's lap dogs, rushing to please others.

The two concubines have not yet obtained the stewardship rights, and their hearts are not as big as they were later, but they are not small in wanting to kill the princess.

Originally, Qianghua was still thinking about whether to cure the princess, but now that she thought about it, she would rather stay in bed for the rest of her life to avoid spoiling the child.

With this in mind, Qianghua called the servants who had been following Prince Xian over and asked them to see if Longyue Pavilion was tidied up.

The boy who received the message quickly went to inquire.

Soon, the boy brought news that Longyue Pavilion had been cleaned and tidied up, and it had been cold for a day.

Now that it was packed, Qianghua asked people to arrange for Zhao Mingzhu to go there now. Anyway, ancient furniture was all made of solid wood, and there was no formaldehyde.

Then someone urged Liu Song to quickly find the female wife. As long as he has the ability, Xiu Xiu is not a problem!

The above sentence will cause the people below to run away and break their legs.

There had been a lot of commotion in the mansion for several days, and Qianghua didn't even think about covering it up, so people in the backyard soon knew that Longyue Pavilion was prepared for the eldest lady.

Although the other concubines were envious, they also knew that they could not live in such a big courtyard.

But Concubine Li and Concubine Song were different. Which of the two had never coveted this courtyard?

Now a three-year-old girl is living in it.

The two of them almost broke their silver teeth.

Liuyunxuan.

Concubine Li took a sip of the sherbet handed over by the maid. She was so depressed that even the sweet water couldn't suppress it. She threw the light blue porcelain cup containing the sherbet on the ground angrily, her chest heaving up and down, and she was so angry. Speechless.

Seeing this, Grandma Sun on the side quickly winked at the maids nearby and asked them to clean up the floor quickly, and then stepped forward to comfort Concubine Li.

"Why should the concubine be so angry? The eldest lady is the legitimate daughter, so she deserves to live in a better place. Besides, it's better for the eldest lady to live in it than the one living next door, right?"

The "next door" mentioned by Nanny Sun refers to Zhuyixuan, which is only separated from Liuyunxuan by a flower wall and rockery. It is also the courtyard of the Song Dynasty Concubine in the mansion.

When Concubine Li heard this, her anger subsided a little, but she still looked unkind and said: "That bitch next door is always pretending to be a nice person, how could she fight with me so openly?"

What she didn't say was that she believed that she was only inferior to the prince and princess in the palace, so besides the princess's main courtyard, shouldn't the best courtyard belong to her?

Now that the prince has given Longyue Pavilion to the eldest lady, what do the people in the mansion think? Do you feel that your status is still below that of the eldest lady?

Concubine Li was angry and resentful. Fortunately, she gave birth to two sons. If she had given birth to a daughter, she would be even more angry if she had to be weighed down by the eldest lady like this!

Thinking of this, she looked at the yard outside the window, rolled her eyes, and said softly: "It would be great if the princess couldn't afford to be sick..."

Maybe she would have a chance to straighten herself out.

Although there are very few opportunities for a concubine to support her in the royal family, it is not impossible. In addition, she may not be able to earn some money after giving birth to the eldest son.

The voice was very soft, and only Grandma Sun heard it, and she was frightened by the words and broke into a cold sweat.

No matter how hard the princess gets on the stage, she was chosen by the royal family herself. If the concubine is caught murdering the princess, not only will her family be affected, but all of these servants will have to be guillotined, one by one!

It’s not that she looks down on the concubine, the concubine’s shallow mind is not suitable for this!

But she knew that pouring cold water on Concubine Li at this time would definitely not benefit her, so she looked at her nose, mouth and heart, and stood aside as if she hadn't heard the words.

Bamboo Garden.

The plants planted in Zhuyixuan are all bamboos, and there are no other plants, so it is named Zhuyixuan.

The concubine of Song Dynasty was sitting on the porch, holding a bamboo branch, carefully removing the bamboo leaves on it, and putting it into a basin nearby.

The maids carefully cleaned the dirt on the bamboo leaves, then put them into a dustpan with mesh on the side, and then other maids took them to dry in the sun.

Next to Concubine Song, Nanny Zhang came over with a plate of light blue pastries.

Concubine Song paused and put the bamboo branches that had not yet been picked cleanly into the basin. The maids took the things with them and left knowingly.

Another maid brought a clean wet handkerchief to wipe her hands before she withdrew.

Aunt Zhang put the cakes on the small tea table in front of Concubine Song. Seeing that the maids and maids still standing around were all confidantes, she said, "Concubine, there's a commotion next door again."

Concubine Song twisted a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth, and said casually: "I've gotten used to it a long time ago, what's there to say?"

Aunt Zhang: "The prince asked people to clean up Longyue Pavilion for the eldest lady to live in. Now we have arranged for the eldest lady to live in it."

Concubine Song paused, frowned, and soon relaxed, "It's for the eldest lady? How come you only know now?"

It would be a lie to say that she didn't covet this courtyard. The prince didn't have any special favorites. Even if he did, it was just a temporary novelty and they didn't need to do anything. The prince himself would soon lose interest.

In this case, the only things that can show that one's status is higher than that of other women are nothing more than these external possessions.

Aunt Zhang: "This matter was arranged by Butler Liu."

The outer court is different from the inner court. Under the management of Butler Liu, the outer court is like a steel pipe. As long as the people in the outer court don't tell, the people in the inner court can't get any information.

The inner courtyard is different. Under the management of the princess, it is very loose. It takes more than half an hour for a thing to reach other people's ears. It is considered that the people in the inner courtyard are strict.

Concubine Song closed her eyes and felt a little irritable. It's not that she had never thought about winning over Liu Song, but no matter how many benefits she gave, they accepted them without fail, but nothing was done about it. If you ask, they will directly Play dumb with you.

And this matter cannot be made public. Otherwise, if only the story of "people from the back house bribed the housekeeper in the front yard to inquire about the prince" is spread, there will be no benefit at all except humiliation and making the prince hate her.

So she could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

Thinking of the money she sent to Liu Song, she felt hot.

"For dinner, let the kitchen prepare some dishes to reduce the heat. Wait..." Concubine Song calmed down and said, "Just ask someone to bring some cold dishes over."

If she cooks dishes to reduce the anger, it will probably make people think that she is also angry about Longyue Pavilion's ownership, which is not good. This is not in line with her external image.

Concubine Song: "Now that the princess is ill in bed, some people should be anxious. You ask people to pay attention to the next door. If that idiot wants to do something, help her directly and do it more quietly, so that even if it happens later, If something happens, it’s not our fault.”

Then we can let that idiot take the blame.

After all, who doesn’t want to climb up? She is naturally ambitious in her heart. If she hadn’t been of insufficient status at the beginning, it’s not certain whether the princess’ position would be occupied by the current princess!

Aunt Zhang: "Yes."

……

Aunt Wu watched Aunt Hua in the front yard leading people into Changchun Courtyard. She thought it was the prince who had some instructions, so she hurried forward to greet her.

Aunt Wu: "Why are you here free? But what message did the prince ask you to bring to the princess?"

Aunt Hua had some embarrassment on her face. She only listened to the prince asking her to pick up the eldest lady. She didn't say anything about the princess. She didn't even need the princess's consent to take away the eldest lady.

Aunt Hua said: "There are some words."

After a pause, she did not say directly, but asked: "Did the princess fall asleep?"

If she fell asleep, she could just salute outside the door instead of going in to face the princess' questioning.

But it's a pity, Nanny Wu said: "The princess just took the medicine and hasn't fallen asleep yet."

Aunt Hua said: "Then I will go and pay my respects to the princess, and I will trouble my sister to inform her."

People in the front yard were strict, and Grandma Wu knew that, so she didn't care if she told her in advance and asked the maid next to her to go in and notify her.

After a while, the maid came out and asked Grandma Hua to go in.

Aunt Hua and Aunt Wu came to the princess's bed.

Aunt Hua bowed, and the princess coughed twice and called out politely.

Princess: "But what does the prince want you to bring here?"

Aunt Hua's mouth was a bit bitter, she calmed down and said, "The prince asked the eldest lady to move to Longyue Pavilion."

He lowered his head and added bravely: "Move there now."

The princess was stunned for a moment, a little absent-minded, looking into the void speechless, not knowing what she was thinking.

Aunt Wu hurried over to help the princess, with joy on her face, and said: "Is the princess so happy? The prince pointed out such a good house as Longyue Pavilion to the eldest daughter, which shows that the prince has the eldest daughter in his heart. "

Added another sentence: "There is also the princess."

The princess came back to her senses and frowned slightly, "How can she, a little child, live in such a nice courtyard? Don't ruin her luck. In my opinion, it should be given to the two concubines and sisters. They gave birth to the prince. The prince deserves some reward for offering incense."

When Aunt Wu heard this, she almost suffocated to death. Is this really what a mother should do?

Give up the benefits of your own flesh and blood to others?

If she hadn't been concerned about her identity, she would have wanted to point at her head and curse: Idiot!

Aunt Hua twitched her lips. Although she had known for a long time that the princess was mentally ill, after facing her in person, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved for the eldest lady.

Aunt Hua bowed and bowed, and replied to the princess: "This is an order from the prince. I ordered you to take the eldest lady to Longyue Pavilion today."

From what the prince said, it seems that he doesn’t want the princess to have contact with the eldest lady in the future.

Aunt Hua's tone was obviously gentle, but both the princess and Aunt Wu could hear that there was no room for rejection.

The princess had a straight face and wanted to scold Aunt Hua.

Aunt Wu quickly stopped her and spoke before the princess: "The eldest lady is in the west wing. I'll ask someone to take you there. The princess has just taken the medicine and is no longer sick. Give her to the eldest lady and ask her to say goodbye outside the door." That’s it.”

The people in the front yard are different from the people in the back yard. There is a prince behind them, so if they offend them, there are many opportunities to put eye drops on the princess.

Coupled with the prince's free-spirited temper, whoever finds trouble for him will be punished. Even the princess may not be able to get away with it.

Nanny Wu felt bitter in her heart. Following the princess, she didn't know if she would be able to have a comfortable old age.

Aunt Hua didn't care what the princess and her servant thought, she lowered her head and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he took a few steps back, turned around, and led the people to the west wing.

After seeing the somewhat thin eldest lady sitting on the bed and looking at her timidly, Grandma Hua couldn't help but feel speechless towards the princess.

A good daughter-in-law of the royal family was actually brought up to have such a cowardly temperament. She was not as courageous as her two-year-old granddaughter!

Aunt Hua showed a smile, stretched out her hands towards Zhao Mingzhu on the bed, and said kindly: "Miss, the prince has prepared a new yard for you, let me take you there to see if you like it? If you don't like it, I will ask someone to How about changing it to what you like?"

Zhao Mingzhu blinked her eyes, and after making sure that this person would not hurt her, she stretched out her hand for Grandma Hua to hold her.

Aunt Hua said "ouch" and quickly stepped forward to pick up Zhao Mingzhu. After feeling Zhao Mingzhu's soft body in her arms, she couldn't help but reveal a kind smile on her face.

The nanny next to her who was responsible for taking care of Zhao Mingzhu took a step forward and said, "Nanny Hua, can you wait a moment? The eldest lady's usual things haven't been packed away yet."

Aunt Hua glanced at the nanny who was dressed more luxuriously than the eldest lady, her eyes flashed and she said, "No need, Longyue Pavilion has already prepared everything for the eldest lady."

After a pause, he turned to a maid next to him and said, "Please stay and take stock of the eldest lady's things."

The maid lowered her head and responded: "Yes."

The nanny on the side looked a little nervous when she heard this.

Aunt Hua glanced at her, said nothing, hugged Zhao Mingzhu and left.

Aunt Hua carried Zhao Mingzhu to the door of the princess's house, bowed on behalf of Zhao Mingzhu in her arms, and then left the Changchun Courtyard.

Along the way, she introduced the surrounding scenery to Zhao Mingzhu, and took her to appreciate the flowers and plants she encountered one by one. She didn’t know if a three-year-old child could understand them, but she still told Zhao Mingzhu the names of various flowers and plants one by one.

After Zhao Mingzhu felt sleepy, he hurriedly carried her back to Longyue Pavilion.

He ordered warm water to clean Zhao Mingzhu's body, and then put her on the bed. Seeing that she had no intention of recognizing the bed, he arranged for someone to guard her and went to report to the prince.
