[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

The information from the outside was constantly coming into the mansion. Mu Yun was busy copying letters in the study and submitting them to the palace, and Yanyu was listening to the miscellaneous gossip among the ladies of Gongqing.

Although the affairs of the Jiangqihou's Mansion were covered up, there were some rumors and gossip, and the capital was indeed shaken for a while.It wasn't until the order to register a new concubine came from the palace that the restless princes' families were settled.

Yuan Chun was canonized as a virtuous concubine, the highest among beauties.

Rongning and Ningfu received the imperial decree and congratulated each other, and Yuanchun's concubine was also the purpose of sending her into the palace.

When Yanyu heard about this, she guessed that the matter involved in the Jia family must not be simple. At this time, the concubine is the emperor's way to temporarily appease the Gongqing's family. I am afraid that when the accounts are settled after the autumn, the two houses of Rongning and Ningxia will not be alone. .

After much deliberation, Yanyu decided to write a letter back to the Lin family to Jia Min, so that Jia Min might be able to tactfully persuade the Jia family to be a little more happy, so as not to touch the holy will.

Mu Yun told Yanyu that if Rongning's second mansion colluded with the Wen family, it was similar to Jiangqihou's mansion because of a woman.The late wife of Jia Rong in the Ningguo Mansion, Mrs. Qin, is not an ordinary person. She is related to both the Wen family and the Zhen family.

"Qin family?" Yanyu carefully recalled this person, but she didn't remember clearly. She only knew that she was Jia Rong's ex-wife in Ningguo Mansion, but she died a few years ago, and somehow it was related to today's events. "Qin's family The adoptive father is an official of the Fifth Grade Hall, marrying into the Ningguo Mansion will be loved by the elders."

Mu Yun nodded: "It's a deal for the Qin family to marry into the Ningguo Mansion, and the other end of the deal is the Zhen family."

Yanyu listened carefully and expressed her willingness to hear the details.

"Do you remember Zhen Jing, the fourth daughter of the Zhen family? Later, she became the side concubine of King Zhao." When Mu Yun mentioned it, Yan Yu nodded, "Yes, I have seen her before. I remember when she first came to the capital, Her appearance also caused heated discussions, saying..." After a pause, she said, "As expected of Concubine Zhen's niece and daughter, she is truly an alluring beauty."

But Zhen Jing's appearance is better than that of Concubine Zhen. If King Zhao becomes emperor, Zhen Jing may be the second Concubine Zhen.

"Actually, Zhen Jing is not the daughter of the Zhen family, she is a girl adopted by the Zhen family from Shanyitang." Mu Yun told Yanyu.

"That's right, the Qin family is also the girl the Qin family brought back from Shanyitang." Yanyu nodded.

Yanyu doesn't remember Qin's face very much, but she remembers that she is also a beautiful woman.And when she saw Zhen Jing for the first time, she suspected that she was not the daughter of the Zhen family. She had nothing in common with the sisters of the Zhen family, not even Master Zhen and Mrs. Zhen, just like a child carved out of another mold .

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "It seems that the Shanyi Hall is really a strange place. Could it be that the girls who were abandoned in the Shanyi Hall are all beautiful women? Or is there some other reason?"

Mu Yun could think that there must be some problems in the Shanyi Hall; but it was more than 20 years ago, and the people in the Shanyi Hall have changed a lot in these years, and it is difficult to track down now.

If the Jia family already knew Qin's identity and welcomed Qin into the house, and the Zhen family adopted another girl, Zhen Jing, what was their purpose?

"Then who are the biological parents of Zhen Jing and Qin's? It can't be that they jumped out of the cracks in the rocks?" Yanyu felt incredible.

"It's still being investigated, and the results should come soon." Mu Yun said.

Ever since Yuanchun became a concubine, Jia's family had entered a dead end, and it would be difficult to get out.

After all, Yanyu still has some kind of affection for Jia's family, after all, her grandmother treated them well; although she was slightly displeased with the thought of letting one of their sisters marry into Jia's family in the early years, she Nor is it the kind of person who keeps his eyes on the little things.But if it is true that Rongning and Ning's two houses colluded with Wen and Zhen, I'm afraid that even the gods of Daluo will not be able to save them by then.

I feel uneasy in my heart, after all, the cause of Qin's matter has not been found out, and it is unknown what happened.

But Mu Yun reported to the emperor that the matter between Mu Wei and Yu Qing had come to fruition, and the queen mother called Mu Yun and Yanyu into the palace.

In the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress and Empress's mother Li Shi were also there. When the Empress Dowager saw Mu Yun and his wife, she kindly gave them a seat, and said: "It's all about the backyard, but it's about the clan. I want you to come and listen too." The Queen Mother mentioned this to Mu Ran, but Mu Ran was very puzzled even though she agreed.

"Your sister-in-law was pregnant when she returned to the capital from Jinling, did you know?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Yanyu was very surprised when she heard that, but Mu Yun still nodded: "I remember that my mother was very happy when she received the letter from home."

Li Shi was quietly wiping away tears at the side, and Yu Ming was also very sad when he saw his mother.

"Actually, back then, that child was still alive, and we hid him in his hometown in Gusu." Li shi covered her face and said in a low voice.

"What you said is true?" The surprise on Mu Yun's face was beyond words when he heard this, as if a boulder that had weighed on his heart had suddenly loosened.

The queen mother nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Xu has already brought that child here. The child looks very similar to my elder brother when he was a child."

Looking back, I saw the female officer next to the queen mother coming out from behind the green curtain, bringing a child about seven or eight years old.

The child obediently followed the female officer to salute the queen mother and queen, apparently Mrs. Li had already taught him that, after getting up, the child looked at Mrs. Li with a disturbed expression before he calmed down.

Mu Yun stared blankly at the child, and it took a long time before she got up, walked to him and squatted down, put her trembling hands on his shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "You, what's your name?"

The child looked at Li uneasily, saw Li nodded to him, and said: "My name is Heng'er."

"Heng'er, that's a very good name." Mu Yun nodded, caressed the child's cheek pitifully, then got up and kowtowed to Mrs. Li through the curtain, "Thank you Madam for protecting Heng'er."

Seeing Mu Ran's behavior confirmed that the child was indeed Mu Wei's son, Yan Yu also went to Mu Ran's side and thanked Mrs. Li: "Thank you, madam."

Mrs. Li was still wiping away tears before the queen mother said: "Heng'er is a child of the Mu family after all, and now it should be recorded in the genealogy to recognize the ancestor and return to the family. Mrs. Xu has worked hard to take care of Heng'er these years."

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Yanyu immediately responded cleverly: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, when Brother Heng comes back, my wife will take good care of Brother Heng and treat her as her own."

Since Brother Heng is a descendant of the Mu family, he cannot continue to grow up in Xu's family after he recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan. As Yanyu's aunt, she, a senior female family member, should take care of Brother Heng.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother showed a satisfied smile: "My daughter-in-law is careful and cautious, I am at ease."

Mrs. Li is also reluctant to part with Brother Heng.Xu Yuqing passed away shortly after giving birth to Brother Heng, and the Xu family did not dare to let others know what happened, so they announced to the outside world that Yu Qing was frightened during the military chaos, and the newly born Brother Heng was sent by the Li family The existence of Brother Heng was a secret of the Xu family, except Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Li, no one else knew that Yu Qing had given birth to a child back then.

Although she already knew that after Brother Heng recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, he will no longer be able to stay in the Xu family, but Li Shi is both worried and happy when he thinks about it.

His Majesty ordered Mu Nang to sacrifice his parents and relatives at Da'an Temple in July, and only after the great sacrifice would he officially write Brother Heng's name into the genealogy of Mu's ancestral hall to rectify his name.

In fact, the marriage between Mu Wei and Yu Qing was a good talk in the capital a few years ago, and it is embarrassing to say such a thing now.

When Yanyu went to the palace to meet the queen again, Yu Ming told her sincerely: "Even I didn't know about Heng'er's existence when I was at home, and my mother and grandmother kept it a secret. Afterwards, His Majesty took the throne and Prince Mu came back After the ancestral hall was re-established, the mother revealed Brother Heng's life experience, saying that Heng'er is the child left by the third sister, and now he should recognize his ancestor and return to the clan."

"Heng'er is a descendant of the Mu family, so he should recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. But there is one thing that I don't understand." Seeing Yu Ming motioning her to continue, Yanyu said again, "It means King Zhao's rebellion against the Wen family's defeat. It happened four years ago, how come Heng'er's life experience is made public now?"

"It's the mother who insists on this." Yu Ming's expression was also indifferent, and he said, "Yan'er, if you weren't the one who married into the Dong'an Palace, mother might not be willing to let Heng'er return to the Mu family. After all, people have ulterior motives. I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Yanyu immediately understood; Li Shi was worried that Mu Yun's wife would be unfavorable to Heng'er, so she delayed until now when the dust settled.

Knowing the reason, Yan Yu showed her face and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will take good care of Brother Heng."

Yu Ming just sighed lightly, as if feeling emotional, but didn't say any more.

Yanyu walked with Yu Ming in the imperial garden, but by coincidence, she met three or five concubines coming together, and hurriedly saluted when she saw Queen Luanjia; although Yanyu didn't know their status, she was short and respectful.

When he got up, he realized that Yuan Chun, who was already a concubine of virtue, was among them, but Yuan Chun didn't know Yan Yu.

Yu Ming has always been reluctant to talk much with his concubines, except when the concubines greeted each other, the rest of the matters were passed on by the female officials.

"Empress, this is Princess Dong'an, right?" A concubine wearing a palace dress looked at Yanyu and said with a smile, but then said, "I heard that Princess Dong'an is the granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion, and she is the daughter of Concubine Jia. Where's my cousin!"

Yuan Chun's eyes seemed to be tinged with surprise, and he looked at Yan Yu with a straight expression, the corners of his lips trembling slightly, as if he was holding back what he wanted to say.

Yu Ming showed displeasure on his face, and when he slightly lowered his eyelids, there was a bit of indifference.

"Your Majesty is tired, my wife will help you go back and rest, okay?" Yanyu stepped forward to support Yu Ming, the concubine didn't dare to exceed the courtesy, so she retreated to the two sides and waited for Yu Ming to be supported by Yanyu. , and waited until the strong smell of makeup and powder gradually dissipated, she covered her lips slightly and said, "It's not easy! With such a group of women in the palace, I can't even sleep in peace."

Yanyu laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of the Six Palaces, who dares to do anything wrong in front of you."

Yu Ming just said: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention them, just follow me to see Zheng'er."
