[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

The second princess born out of Yu Ming happened to be born on the day when news of the army's triumphant victory spread. The emperor was overjoyed and bestowed the title of Princess Ningzhi.

Others lamented that Princess Ningzhi had a good birth. She was born on this triumphant day, and she was favored by Her Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Although Princess He'an, born of the noble concubine, was the eldest daughter of the emperor, she was similar in age to Princess Ningzhi. But they were all overwhelmed by Princess Ningzhi, and they were destined to have different fates as royal daughters.

But on the day when the second princess was full moon, the noble concubine passed away from illness.

Speaking of the death of the imperial concubine Jia, there are different opinions in the palace; the imperial physician said that the imperial concubine gave birth to the frail Princess He An due to premature birth, which has already hurt her body, and she is still red after confinement.

Poor Princess An lost her biological mother when she was young, and it was even more difficult to grow up in this palace.

Except for the queen who gave birth to the eldest son and the second princess in the emperor's harem, among the high-ranking concubines are Princess He'an's biological mother, the noble concubine Jia, and the late concubine Chen; Even the emperor didn't care much about the noble concubine's daughter because of the happiness of the emperor's most beloved Princess Ningzhi.

Yanyu didn't pay much attention to the recent events in the palace, the army returned to the capital triumphantly, and will soon arrive in the capital, and Mu Yun will also return.

But when I heard about the death of the noble concubine, I received a strange letter. It was a deaf woman who sent the letter to Dong'an Palace, saying that her girl begged to give it to the princess.

Yanyu read the letter and knew it was from Xichun.

There are only two simple words in the letter - help me!

Xichun originally planned to enter the palace in the spring of the year to stand for election as a female official of the Department of History and Records, but before running for the election, Xichun suddenly contracted a sudden illness, so she couldn't make the trip.Now that Xichun sent someone to send this letter again, Yanyu couldn't help but be puzzled; Xichun was in Rongguo Mansion well, but when she encountered a crisis, her ancestors and her brother and sister-in-law in Ningguo Mansion were in charge, so why did she ask for help? ?

"Is the old lady still there?" Yanyu asked Mama Liu, and Mama Liu responded and brought the deaf old lady over to see her.

The deaf woman's sister is Xichun's nanny, and she is also Xichun's confidant, because she is deaf and can't work in front of the master, so the family just treats them as blessings and let them work in the Zhuangzi.

It was also difficult for Yanyu to ask her, the deaf woman didn't know what was going on, she just said that Miss Si asked her to deliver the letter to Princess Dong'an.

Yanyu had no choice but to think about when she and Xichun would have a good chance to meet each other, and asked clearly why.

But before this plan came true, Yanyu learned something about Xichun from Jia Min.

Since the death of the noble concubine Yuanchun, the Jia family planned to send another girl to the palace as a concubine; originally Tanchun was the best candidate, Tanchun was outstanding in appearance, intelligent and capable, and apart from Yuanchun, Tanchun was the most outstanding among the sisters, but It's a pity that now that Tanchun has been betrothed to someone else, there is only one girl of the right age left in the Rongning Second Mansion, Xichun.

The Jia family wants to send Xichun into the palace as a concubine, to replace Yuanchun to receive the favor and shine on the family lintel.

It's a pity that Chun is not willing to become a concubine.Xichun wants to enter the palace and become a female official of the Department of History, but it is just to avoid the world, like Baochai, she can find a place in the palace, so that she will not be involuntarily manipulated in the palace.But if he enters the palace, he will inevitably be involved in the disputes in the palace. A smart woman like Yuanchun will die young in the palace, let alone Xichun.

Yanyu didn't expect it to be because of this incident, she was shocked: "The noble concubine is the reason, uncle is so eager to send the fourth sister into the palace, it is too heartless."

Jia Min also sighed: "Girl Yuan entered the palace when she was young, and she stayed in the palace entirely for the sake of her family."

The Jia family tried their best to send Xichun to the palace, but they used the excuse that it was to get along with Princess An.

"Princess He An is the child left by the noble concubine. Now that the noble concubine is gone and the princess has no biological mother, it is really pitiful in the palace; it is His Majesty who is merciful to find a concubine for the princess to be a foster mother. If the concubine has his own biological mother in the future Boy, I'm afraid I can't treat the princess as my own. But the fourth girl and the imperial concubine are sisters of the same clan, so it must be different."

Yanyu was very dissatisfied when she heard this statement.

Things in the world cannot go as expected, even if Xichun enters the palace as a concubine, she may not be able to directly raise Princess Hean as the sister of a noble concubine, and there are constant disputes in the palace.What's more, the noble concubine is gone, and Princess An is also the emperor's own daughter. Your majesty and the queen will arrange the princess themselves, and it is not up to others to dictate to the royal princess. The emperor will definitely not like this; Heart, it really hurt the princess.

In fact, if it is for the sake of reconciling with Princess An, it is better to say that there is a seemingly reasonable reason for Xichun to enter the palace, so as not to fall into the trap of saying that the imperial concubine has just passed away, and the imperial concubine's natal family can't wait to send another girl in. The palace competes for favor.

"That's why I said this is really a bad strategy." Jia Min said helplessly.

"It would be great if the fourth sister could not enter the palace." Yanyu also thought of it thoughtfully, and told Jia Min that Xichun asked the deaf woman to send her a distress letter, "Mother, the fourth sister They also don't want to enter the palace. Besides, the death of the imperial concubine and empress is probably not the case as we know it, the fourth younger sister's entry into the palace is not like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

Jia Min was still very surprised to hear such a thing: "It is said that the sudden death of a noble concubine is not unusual, so it is indeed unusual."

Just like the death of Concubine Chen, even though everyone knew that the concubine's death might have something to do with it, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Yanyu often enters the palace for the first time, and she is too aware of some of the reasons.

The death of Yuan Chun was related to Concubine Chen, and it was also related to Jia's family.

He and Princess An were not favored by the emperor, and the contrast became more obvious after the birth of Princess Ningzhi.

Yuan Chun only thought that he had troubled the princess, because she was involved with Concubine Chen, which made His Majesty dislike the princess, and even worried that the emperor would anger the Rongning Second House because of this in the future; Yuan Chun knew that the Chen family still had remnants of power in the palace , so they deliberately made them think that Concubine Chen's death was related to him. In the end, Yuan Chun was replaced by the decoction in the Chen family, and then died suddenly.

Yuan Chun was smart all his life, but he just got confused with Princess An, so he was really sad.

She bet that the emperor and empress would have some sympathy for Princess He An, and even this sympathy would ensure that Princess He An would grow up safely.She also bet that the emperor would find out that it was the Chen family who killed her, so she would be tolerant of her family; Yuan Chun had served the emperor not long ago, but she could also see that the emperor's occasional love for her was only due to her origin However, Rongning and Ning's two houses were entangled with the Zhen family in the past. In the future, the emperor will definitely liquidate the Jia family. Maybe the emperor will see that she gave birth to a princess and died at the hands of the Chen family, so he will be more tolerant.

As she wished, the emperor found out the truth of Yuan Chun's death, but now that the Northwest court is not settled, the Chen family cannot be uprooted for the time being, and the truth of Yuan Chun's murder can only be temporarily suppressed.

The emperor will take pity on Princess An, and may be tolerant to the Jia family; but if the Jia family rushes to send Xichun to the palace, the emperor's two points of tolerance will be wiped out.

The emperor is not easy to fool, just because the time has not come.

Yanyu didn't dare to analyze these details to Jia Min, even though she knew that her mother would not reveal these secrets easily.Now Dong'an Prince's Mansion, Zhongjinghou's Mansion and even the Xu family behind the queen are all tied to the same boat, and Lin Ruhai is a close minister loyal to the emperor, so it is a relationship of prosperity and prosperity; The Jia family should not be allowed to leak any information.

Even though Jia Min was deeply moved, it was hard to change at this point; after all, she was the daughter who had already left the cabinet, and Xichun was the lady of the East Courtyard, so she really couldn't control so much.

"If the mother believes in her daughter, let her do it." Yanyu said to Jia Min, "Why don't mother find an excuse and hold a flower banquet and let the fourth sister come to the house, so that I can have a chance to see her?" For the fourth sister. Maybe the fourth sister has something to say to me, and I also have something to say to the fourth sister."

Although Jia Min was worried, she agreed to Yan Yu.

Within two days, Jia Min invited all the wives and grandmas he knew well on the pretext of admiring the flowers.

Sheng Ping brought Sister Ning over and asked her to play with Sister Yi; Sister Yi was already able to babble, and it was very novel to see another younger sister, so she turned to look at her, then smiled with.

"Sister Ning and Sister Yi are destined, but it's a pity." Sheng Ping said this for the third time after she came in, her tone was extremely regretful, and she looked at the two children very eagerly.

Everyone in the room knew that Sheng Ping was still thinking about getting sister Yi to come back as a daughter-in-law, so they all laughed and teased her, and Sheng Ping sighed again: "It's our sister Ning who has no luck."

Yanyu found it interesting, so she just smiled and listened.

Daiyu stepped forward to pick up Sister Yi, and Sister Yi looked over at Sister Ning.

Mrs. Zhang, who had been on good terms with Jia Min on weekdays, did not come, but Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhang's in-laws, pulled Jia Min into a conversation, and asked about Yan'er: "I heard that Brother Yan is now He is studying at the school in Jinling, and he will take the examination for scholar next year."

Mrs. Zhao was well-informed, so Jia Min was not surprised. He just smiled and said, "Mr. means to let Brother Yan try."

"Brother Yan has done a good job in learning, and he will be as promising as Master Lin in the future." Mrs. Zhao praised, and Jia Min wondered why Mrs. Zhao suddenly spoke beautiful words, and then saw Mrs. Zhao raised her interest, "Brother Yan My son will be 12 years old next year. It's too early to say, but I thought it was appropriate to draw a red line for Brother Yan. As the saying goes, the Qi family governs the country and the world. If you decide on a daughter-in-law, That’s the man who stands up.”

It turns out that Mrs. Zhao is here to be a big matchmaker!

The marriage between Mu Yun and Yanyu was the thread between Zhao Yue and his wife, seeing her talking now, Jia Min dare not take it seriously.

Yan'er is twelve years old next year, although he is a little younger; but if it is really a good marriage, it is no harm to make an appointment now, and then marry and get married after getting the honor in the exam.

"I don't know which girl Mrs. Zhao is talking about?" Jia Min asked quickly.

"Mrs. Lin also knows her. She is the younger sister of my fourth daughter-in-law, the seventh daughter of the Zhang family, called Lanping." Mrs. Zhao said.

Zhang Jialanping is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Zhang.

Jia Min knew Lan Ping, and liked her very much, and thought about becoming Yan'er's daughter-in-law, but at that time, she thought that the two children were still young, so she didn't mention it. Let Mrs. Zhao be the big matchmaker.

Mrs. Zhao saw that Jia Min was gradually showing joy, so she knew that the matter should be half done.

"Miss Zhang Qi is very sweet and kind, and I really like it. I just don't know what Mrs. Zhang means, so please help me out." Even though Jia Min said this, she also knew that Mrs. Zhao could come and tell her. As for the marriage proposal, Mrs. Zhao should be the matchmaker because the Zhang family also wanted to get married.

"With Mrs. Lin's words, I will definitely tell each other well. Brother Ruoyan and Seventh Miss are really happy, they are truly a match made in heaven." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile on her face.

Jia Min and Mrs. Zhao reached an agreement on Yan'er's marriage for the time being, so they wrote it down in their hearts, thinking that they would talk to Lin Ruhai later in the evening, after all, Yan'er's marriage was also decided by him.

The Lin family is on the rise, and the Zhang family is a prominent family, so this marriage is really good.

Jia Min handed his token to Mrs. Zhao again, and asked Mrs. Zhao to pass it on to Mrs. Zhang to show her sincerity.
