Lin Daiyu was stunned for a long while before she said in amazement: "Because I... am the princess?"

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and said, "It's because you are the princess." That's why they thought of attacking you.You must know that the most deeply rooted thing in this world is the interest relationship between in-laws.Once you get involved with them, it can't be broken.

Lin Daiyu didn't know much about the entanglement of interests since she was a child. Even if Jiang Lingzai broke it up carefully for her, Lin Daiyu just shook her head, frowned and said: "When my mother was still alive, she used to talk to me. I have mentioned some, but I have never liked these doorways. I have heard of some in the Rongguo Mansion, but that was a long time ago."

For a long time, even Lin Daiyu herself can't remember clearly.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then asked, "Where's that nanny who usually serves you?"

Lin Daiyu said, "Yes." Then she called people in.

Jiang Ling thought that since Lin Daiyu was ignorant of world affairs, the King of Beijing would probably send a suitable person to follow Lin Daiyu so that no accidents would happen suddenly.And this appropriate person is mostly the old man who waits by Lin Daiyu's side.The most likely one is the nanny that Lin Daiyu served in front of her.

Jiang Ling tentatively asked, and sure enough, he learned a lot from Mammy.

The cause of the incident dates back to the middle of last year, when Lin Daiyu was rescued by the King of Beijing.

At that time, Lin Daiyu was still very wary of the outside world.Although he knew that the other party was the King of Jing Jing, and knew that the other party had no malice towards him, he still kept a cautious distance.Unexpectedly, after returning home, troubles would follow one after another.First, Mrs. Wang asked her insincerely if she was acquainted with the King of Beijing, and then some maids joked with her, asking the cousin girl if she would give her body, and finally even Jia Amnesty found her and asked what happened that day. how it happened.

In the eyes of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, Miss Lin and Wang Shuirong of Beijing began to have a somewhat inexplicable relationship.

Later, this vague, vague and weird feeling became a big trouble for King Jingjing.

Although King Bei Jing did have some good feelings for Rongguo Mansion and Jia Baoyu, which could even be called sympathy, but it would be very unpleasant if this kind of good feeling became a support for some people to cling to.At first, it was some offshoots of the Jia family, and then some in-laws from other families. As the relationship between Prince Jing and Lin Daiyu became closer, this vague attachment began to become clear.

Until Lin Daiyu successfully married into the Beijing Palace, this clinging atmosphere reached its peak.

In the beginning, it was only the children of the offshoot of the Jia family who wanted to cling to them, and then Xue and Wang's family had an accident in Jinling, and the Jia family was also implicated, hoping to make a comeback with the strength of the Beijing Palace.Those who sent maids to the mansion, those who chatted in the hall, those who met by chance on the street, those who gave some unconventional gifts on festivals and birthdays, those who hinted explicitly... King Jing of Beijing never tires of it.

Although Jia Baoyu himself doesn't like official articles, but he can't stand the Rong and Ning houses, some people like it.

This trend became more and more intense, until King Beijing mixed the letter with Lin Daiyu's letter, asking Jiang Ling to check the affairs of Gusu Lin's family, the initial favorable impression has all turned into disgust.But because the King of Beijing Jing is quite self-cultivated, he still cares about the affection of his in-laws, so he didn't point it out.

Things changed again at a banquet.

There are more prodigal sons in the Rong and Ning mansions, which is known in the whole capital.

At that banquet, I don’t know which prodigal son slipped his mouth and complained about the huge deficit in the mansion. He even thought about using the dowry of several girls to settle the account, including the two cousins. Unfortunately, the old lady stopped.Although the old lady is old and mature, she really loves her grandchildren very much.If the dowries of the girls were really used, family law must be used in Rongxi Hall.

At that time, King Beijing's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he poured a lot of wine into the other party, so he asked more about the situation.

For example, Miss Lin did not live very comfortably in the Grand View Garden back then.Another example is that Mrs. Wang liked Xue Baochai and once regarded her as her daughter-in-law. Miss Lin was even more desolate in the garden, even the daughter-in-law in charge...

cough.

These were supposed to be secrets in the mansion, but they were exposed by the big thorn.

Since then, King Beijing left in a huff, and the relationship with Rongguo Mansion has become colder since then.

But at this moment, the last straw that overwhelmed the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and Beijing Prince's Mansion appeared: title.

The battle for the title of the Rongguo Mansion can be simply described as a battle between the eldest and the second wife.Originally, the long house was a surefire successor, but because Jia Lian was overwhelmed by his daughter-in-law, Jia Zhu died young, Jia Lan was young, and Jia Baoyu was treated by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia as eyeballs, so Mrs. Wang moved She thought about it, and hoped that the title could fall on this precious lump.

Although Jia Baoyu stayed among his sisters all day long and didn't care about these things, he couldn't stand that his mother was Mrs. Wang...

Mrs. Wang only did two things in total. One was to persuade the noble concubine in the palace to stand by her brother, and the other was to send someone to bypass Lin Daiyu when Lin Daiyu was living in the garden and directly negotiate with the King of Beijing. , I hope that the King of Beijing can support Jia Baoyu.

After all, there was a time when the King of Beijing still admired Jia Baoyu.

The last straw fell down, and even the prince with the best temper was annoyed.

Just when Emperor Kangxi came back from his southern tour, he was carrying a large pile of accounts of Jinling and Yangzhou, ready to investigate further. King Bei Jing suggested that he should take this opportunity to sort out the accounts of the entire treasury.The king of Beijing Jing knew very well that at least half of the noble families in the capital were hiding filth. This so-called "herding filth" may have something to do with the Ministry of Households. The shop below has evaded taxes, and may have used bribes to let officials let him go.As for Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, they originally had records left in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs.A check will definitely make them howl like ghosts and wolves.

Half of it is because of Lin Daiyu's unwillingness, and the other half is because of her old boredom.

So the King of Beijing proposed in court to conduct a thorough investigation that night, and half of the capital was set up by him.

……

Lin Daiyu was stunned after hearing Mammy's words, "No, you won't?"

She never knew that there had been such grievances between Beijing Palace and Rongguo Palace.

She also didn't know that King Jing's move was actually half for her own sake.

The mother said calmly: "The princess has been unable to eat a few times because of the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion. The prince saw it in his heart and felt pain in his heart. But because the princess doesn't like these things, I never mentioned it to the princess."

Lin Daiyu stared at her blankly, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Ling supported his waist, sat up slowly, and asked: "Who else in your house knows about the relationship between this matter and the princess?"

The nanny glanced at Lin Daiyu, saw Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and expressed curiosity, and said: "Most people in the mansion know about it. Besides, there are a few servants in the kitchen in the mansion, who are maids from the Rongguo mansion." , so the old slave thinks, probably the Rongguo Mansion also knows about it."

That's why they found Lin Daiyu exactly that night.

Jiang Ling hissed lightly.Originally, she was thinking that the people in the Rongguo Mansion wanted to find Lin Daiyu, probably because they wanted the princess to blow her pillow, but she never thought that there were so many ties to it.From the initial desire to make friends with the King of Beijing, to the later thinking of the King of Beijing as a life-saving straw, and finally, even Jia Baoyu's hopes were pinned on the King of Beijing, it is really...

Desperate.

For no reason, Jiang Ling remembered what he said to Mrs. Wang in April last year.

At that time, she already felt that Mrs. Wang's actions were a bit too crazy; but now it seems that those things at the beginning were just small troubles. Anyone who can be used is regarded as a life-saving straw.

But unfortunately, King Jingjing bottomed out and rebounded.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling suddenly sighed again.

Lin Daiyu looked at the nanny and asked sadly, "Then, what should I do now?"

Yu Qing, she is the concubine of King Beijing Jing.

Yu Li, she is the cousin of Rongguo Mansion.

No matter which side it is, it makes Lin Daiyu feel embarrassed.

The mother then said: "Princess, please rest assured. The prince has already ordered that these dirty things will not be allowed to pollute the ears of the princess. Before the matter comes to an end, the princess only needs to wait in the garden with peace of mind and sing every day." By reciting poems, making paintings, and talking with the concubine, it can be regarded as a great help to the prince. As for those who want to trouble the concubine, the concubine only needs to scold her face to face."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but said in a somewhat hesitant manner: "I, I am like this, am I a bit dragged down?"

She turned her head to look at Jiang Ling, hoping that she could give herself some practical advice.Many times in the past, when Lin Daiyu felt embarrassed, it was Jiang Ling who helped resolve the crisis, so this time Lin Daiyu also hoped the same.But this time, it's not quite the same as before.

Jiang Ling looked at her for a long time before saying in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's not easy for me to intervene in the housework of your house."

Those in the past were because Lin Daiyu encountered trouble in Rongguo Mansion, and Jiang Ling helped resolve one or two.But now, this is a grievance between the Rongguo Mansion and the Beijing Prince's Mansion. With the King of Beijing and Princess Beijing present, Jiang Ling shouldn't intervene at this time due to emotion and reason.

Lin Daiyu looked at Jiang Ling, then at Nanny, and couldn't help begging softly: "A Ling."

Nanny took half a step forward, seeming to hesitate to speak.

Jiang Ling sighed, patted Lin Daiyu's hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the stakes in this... It's too complicated. She closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and calmed down. Huan said: "The only thing I can tell you now is that I hope you don't mess around with this matter.Of course, you have always been indifferent.But this time is different. She also held Lin Daiyu's hand and said in a low voice, "This time it's a business trip. The King of Beijing Jing is dealing with the public, not private, so the situation is different from usual."If you get involved in this case, I'm afraid it will make things difficult for King Beijing Jing.No matter—no matter what the original purpose of King Beijing Jing was, from the moment he received the order to check the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, it was already a matter of business. "

As for government officials, the most taboo thing is not to distinguish between public and private.

For a moment there was no sound around, and even Lin Daiyu's voice became a little hurried.After a long time, Jiang Ling heard a young man's voice: "Thank you, Concubine Yun, for persuading my wife, I am very grateful."

Jiang Ling suddenly opened her eyes, and saw a young prince standing at the gate of the palace, and made a long bow to her.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Daiyu, and then at the nanny beside her, a little confused: When did King Beijing come?

"Shui Rong came here today because he wanted to bring his wife back to the palace, but unexpectedly, he heard what Concubine Yun said." King Beijing was still standing at the gate of the palace, quite far away from them, and his voice was heard far away Come over, "my wife is innocent by nature, I don't want to hold her down, and I don't want to let those worldly things annoy her. Unexpectedly, it made my wife feel annoyed for a while. It's water-soluble."

Lin Daiyu looked at Jiang Ling, then at King Beijing, and called her husband softly, but she didn't answer.

The King of Beijing continued: "As a foreign minister, he should not have stayed in the harem for a long time. Today's visit to Changchun Palace is already a way for Mr. Liang to open his eyes. Frown." When the King of Beijing called Lin Daiyu's name, his voice suddenly became soft , no longer business-like as before, "Follow me back home. I assure you, there will be no more trouble this time."

Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip and glanced at Jiang Ling again.

Jiang Ling smiled softly, and said, "Go ahead. Remember not to make any moves. You are the biggest variable in this matter."

Lin Daiyu responded with a vague understanding, followed her mother to leave the Changchun Palace, and returned to the mansion with King Beijing.It wasn't until far away outside the palace that she suddenly realized what Jiang Ling's last sentence meant.She looked at King Jing beside her, and suddenly said a word out of nowhere: "I'd better live in the old house. I, I..."

The so-called old house was a house specially bought for Lin Daiyu by the King of Beijing before she got married, and it was made into Lin Daiyu's lifetime.

King Bei Jing shook his head and smiled, "It's okay. After these three or two days, no one will dare to intercede again."

Lin Daiyu still half understood.

King Bei Jing smiled again, and said: "The words of Concubine Yun are good, but they can only be used for three days. After three days, everything will be safe."
