A visit to Fangchun

The emperor was very satisfied with Baochai's knowledge and interest, but seeing that she was always gloomy, he couldn't help asking with a smile: "What is Baoqing still worried about? I have heard many people say that your sister is as beautiful as you are." Woolen cloth."

Hearing what the emperor said, Baochai frowned slightly, and said sadly: "My elder brother is a dude, I never mention him in front of the emperor, just because I am worried that the emperor will favor him, so it would be even more inappropriate. My brother and sister , when the second uncle was alive, he taught well, so they are all excellent. But now that the sister has been divorced, she can't get a good home, and my brother is afraid that he won't marry. "

The emperor smiled and didn't care at all: "I remember my mother said that Mrs. Jia's maiden niece was betrothed to your brother. He has a marriage in hand. What are you afraid of?"

Baochai sighed, and said: "Having said that, the lady of the Jia family has always been a follower of power. Her brother is more ridiculous than my brother. Although his daughter is good, I am always worried. Then I was outside at the time, and this marriage was suitable. Just keep an eye on me as a big aunt, and the Xing family didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Now that I'm in the palace, they have less people to intimidate, so they can't help being more presumptuous Disrespectful, on the other hand, I am afraid that they will use my name to mess around, and it may seem like my face will be damaged, but in fact it will be the dignity of the royal family. That's why I am even more worried."

The emperor was very polite when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's not difficult at all. I'll just point out another marriage for your brother and sister. But before that, you have to let your brother leave the Xing family."

Baochai became happy and nodded hurriedly.

The emperor treated her more tenderly.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she pondered for a long time, nodded her head in admiration, and said to Nanny Yu: "Although this Concubine Xue is a bit cautious, she is still a governor. You can give her some rewards when you have time."

On the second day, Nanny Yu put a plate of red bayberries that had just been brought up to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and sent it to Baochai, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother heard that Baofei is from the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid she likes the taste."

Baochai hurriedly kowtowed in the direction of the Palace of Compassion and Ning to thank her, and then helped Nanny Yu to sit with her own hands, and said with a smile: "My concubine is young and short-sighted. If there is anything I can't do, I would like to ask you to give me some advice." .”

Nanny Yu narrowed her eyes with a smile, and waved her hands again and again: "Don't say that. The late emperor passed away, and everyone from the empress dowager to the emperor was very sad. The emperor kept his filial piety for 27 days. After that month, the empress dowager tried again and again to persuade him, but the emperor refused to accept it." Enter the harem. Now that the concubine can make the emperor happy, the empress dowager can feel relieved."

Baochai was relieved now, and with a smile on her face, she sent Madam Yu out, and the next day went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

The queen heard that, although she was not happy, she was unwilling to touch the emperor's bad luck at this time.What's more, the emperor would still go to Kunning Palace every now and then to have a chat with her.

The empress had also tested the emperor's arrangements for the concubine, and the emperor laughed as if they were still talking about the concubine Yuan: "Little girl, love to be careful, just watch it, don't pay attention to her."

Baochai then took the news to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue immediately entrusted Mrs. Wang, Uncle Jinxiang, to Jia's mansion to find Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing was in front of Jia Mu. She thought it was about Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan's marriage. She was overjoyed and hurried to come in.

Mrs. Wang came in and saw Jia's mother crooked on the couch with a pale face, so she hesitated a little, went up to greet Ann with a smile, and said with a smile: "Old lady, rest, I have nothing serious, just come to talk to the eldest lady." Talk." As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Xing a wink.

Tanchun and Wang Xifeng happened to be there too, they are so shrewd, they immediately realized that there might be some bad news.Tanchun laughed and said, "Well, the second sister-in-law will accompany the old lady, and I will help the old lady there." Then, he came up to help Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing was suspicious, she got up with a smile, and invited Mrs. Wang to her room.

Mrs. Wang has heard that Tanchun is very powerful, so she is not willing to speak in front of her at this time, and said with a smile: "Half of what our adults say, girls should not listen to it. Third girl, go , doesn’t it mean that your old lady can’t leave you half a step?”

Tanchun was blocked outside the house.

However, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang shouted angrily when they said that there was no time for a cup of tea.Tanchun heard it in the main room, turned around and came out in a hurry, opened the door and entered Mrs. Xing's room.

Mrs. Xing's face was livid with anger, her chest heaved and she clenched her fists tightly.

Tanchun looked at the embarrassment on Wang's face, first smiled gently, and asked, "Have you had tea, Ma'am? The weather is hot, and our family has been serving sour plum soup lately." Turning around, he ordered someone to "give Jinxiang Mrs. Uncle brought a cup of sour plum soup."

Wang shyly stood up with a smile: "I won't sit down anymore, after the word has been passed on, it's time for me to go."

Tanchun's smile deepened: "I just don't know if the other party just asks Madam to send a message, or asks for a letter to go back?"

Mrs. Xing blurted out angrily: "They want to cancel Xiuyan's marriage! How can I give them a letter? Stop dreaming! Isn't it just a concubine..."

Tanchun grabbed Mrs. Xing, smiled and said to Wang: "So that's the matter. We were also high-ranking, and since the Xue family felt it was inappropriate, let's forget it. It's just that when the marriage was discussed earlier, although there was no marriage certificate, But they took our Xiuyan's horoscope, and now since we want to divorce, let's return the Geng Tie."

Mrs. Wang was carrying it on her body, and hurriedly took it out and handed it to Tanchun, and said with a smile: "The third girl is so loud. I don't know the Geng Tie of the second son of the Xue family?"

Tanchun smiled and said: "It's not like you came prepared. The Geng Tie of the second son of the Xue family is now at the Xing family's side. When I ask for it, I will send it to the Xue family immediately."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect it to be like this. She was surprised, looked up and down Tanchun for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "The third girl has grown a little taller than last year. I don't know if the girl is now..."

Tanchun cut her off with a smile: "A while ago, I heard people joke that the eldest son of your family has good eyesight. When he was helping the Wang family with the funeral, he immediately fell in love with the Xue family's wife. He even proposed marriage quietly?"

Wang's complexion suddenly changed, he stood up hesitantly, and forced a smile: "I'm done with this trip, and I still have some things at home, so I'll take my leave first." He hurriedly left.

Tanchun ordered someone to "send Mrs. Wang off", and turned around to comfort Mrs. Xing: "Sister Xiuyan is such a good girl, why do you want to get involved with the Xue family? Now there is another concubine in their family, Xue The eldest brother has always been extravagant. The life of the second son and second lady of the Xue family is in the hands of the aunt and wife of the Xue family, preparing to pave the way for Madam Xue in the future. It’s not that our family has never had a concubine, and the aunt still can’t see this clearly? Now a It's a good thing to avoid the situation of two leniency."

Mrs. Xing's eyes were red with anger: "But the marriage of my niece..."

Tanchun smiled deeply: "It's easy."
