Jiang Ling woke up.

The afternoon sun was sunny, shining on the body through the window lattice, giving it a warm feeling.Although it is early autumn and the weather is extremely hot, but because Jiang Ling has controlled the indoor temperature very well, it is quite comfortable.Now that the end of time has passed, most of the maids, wives, and young ladies in Rongguo Mansion have had their afternoon naps, so it is difficult to ask them any more questions.Therefore, we have to wait until the evening, or tomorrow's noon, and then try to find out the result.

However, what he said about holding the piano just now really made Jiang Ling break out in a cold sweat.

After a while, the nanny carried the little elder brother into Jiang Ling's room, and leaned against her side by side.

The little elder brother just fell asleep, nestled into a ball in the swaddle, small and soft, with a delicate flat mouth, as if he was hungry in his sleep.Jiang Ling smiled softly and straightened the swaddle for him. For some reason, her heart softened a little.

No matter what, the child must be brought up by his side, at least until he is six years old, and then he will be sent to Elder Brother's institution according to the usual practice.

Jiang Ling stayed with the child for a while, and when it was around Shen's time, the maids outside were all free.Jiang Ling called a female official, saying that she had just taken charge of Fengyin, and there were many things she didn't know, whether she needed to ask some aunts in charge to come and ask them for advice.The female official saluted Jiang Ling, and replied: "Huang Guifei, you are still in confinement, and all affairs are handled by the aunt in charge and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Only when you are confinement can you really take over the affairs of the palace." Because the little elder brother was still asleep, their conversation was very low.

Jiang Ling nodded, and asked again: "But I still don't have experience... Well, you can tell me, or call an experienced nanny, or an aunt who is in charge, and tell me, these days , Has anything happened in the palace? I need to be mentally prepared. Otherwise, when the time comes, my eyes will be darkened, and I'm afraid it will be delayed."

Jiang Ling thought to himself, if there was any conflict between Concubine Yi and Concubine Gui, it would definitely spread throughout most of the harem.

The female officer thought about it carefully, and then replied: "It's nothing special. The biggest thing is that your mother gave birth to an heir and was promoted to the imperial concubine. Speaking of... oh, there is one thing , and made trouble in front of the Empress Dowager."

Jiang Ling straightened up a little and asked, "What's the matter?"

When the trouble came to the Empress Dowager, it probably referred to the one in the mouth of the piano.

The female officer said: "It's a long story. It dates back to more than ten years ago. At that time, the slaves had just entered the palace and didn't know anything. They only heard that the relationship between Yifei and Guifei was not good. A few days ago God, oh, it was the second day after you were promoted to the Jin Dynasty, your master and Yi master had a quarrel. Your master accused Yi master of tampering with his medicine, but of course Yi master didn't admit it. They both made a fuss in front of the Queen Mother. Later, in front of the Queen Mother, Master Yi revealed several old incidents, slashed your master's face severely, and taught your master not to step down. Later, the Queen Mother reprimanded them each , Let them go back to the palace and think behind closed doors."

Jiang Ling pondered for a moment, then said: "So, the matter is over?"

The female officer hummed and said: "It's calmed down. But according to the gossip in the palace, Master Yi couldn't swallow this breath, and was secretly playing tricks on your master. Your master hasn't slept peacefully for several days. No Knowing why, the noble master hated the Rong master as well, and now the decent people are in the Lenggong and Xinzhekuli, looking for the old mothers and maids in the past, saying, "No one in this palace was clean before, since someone wants to dig Old accounts, then let’s dig out the old accounts together’, it’s causing people to panic.” The female officer looked at Jiang Ling’s expression again when she saw Jiang Ling’s pensive look, and said again "Master, don't think about it. If the root cause of the disease falls in the month, then the slaves will die. Since this matter has come to the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother is the master. Master can never Wan, don't, don't get involved in those old cases, if you get involved, you can't get rid of it."

"If it gets on, it can't be taken off." The short twelve words send chills down the spine.

Jiang Ling caressed the little elder brother's swaddling baby, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I know. I won't ask more about this matter, and wait for the Queen Mother to deal with it. Just now you said that Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong were involved Now, what about Concubine Hui?" According to the usual practice, Concubine Hui is irritable and irritable, so she should directly conflict with Concubine Hui.Not to mention that the imperial concubine is still holding her handle.

The female officer looked at Jiang Ling's expression, hesitated and said, "This..."

Jiang Ling saw her hesitation, and said, "Come to me and say it. When we get out of this door, neither of us will recognize what you said. I just let you in, just to see the room too big." Mess, let you tidy up. Nothing else was said."

Hearing this, the female officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.If I can bite to death and deny it if I go out of this door, I will feel much more at ease.She went up to Jiang Ling, bent down, and whispered in Jiang Ling's ear: "My servant heard that Ming Zhongtang got the news in advance that the empress was going to be canonized as empress, so she let people enter the palace in advance and told Master Hui. At that time Your Majesty is expecting to give birth, so naturally she doesn't know about it. Afterwards, your Majesty knows all about it." After the female officer finished speaking, she took two steps back and cleaned up the house exactly as Jiang Ling said.

Jiang Ling's movements paused, and after a long time, he said "I see" in a low voice.

Mingzhu is half of Concubine Hui's natal family, so of course she is on Concubine Hui's side.Coupled with the fact that there is no shortage of factional disputes in the court, the conflict between Mingzhu and Suo'etu is close to heating up. At this time, of course the Nalan family must exchange news with Concubine Hui.Therefore, Concubine Hui was so busy dragging herself into the water that she could not care about Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi.

Relating to Concubine Hui's actions in the past few times, it is not difficult to guess what Concubine Hui has done in the palace these days.

Concubine Yi is busy resolving her personal grievances with Concubine Gui, Concubine Rong is unclear about what happened more than ten years ago, she may even have died, Concubine De is a hidden being, and Concubine Hui... Concubine Hui still has her back The Nalan family is obviously here for him, and with the fact that Concubine Hui still has a handle in her hands, it is impossible for her to be in the limelight.

But I don't know, when they said, "Concubine Hui's handle is in the hands of the imperial concubine", which one were they referring to?

Jiang Ling furrowed his brows hard, thinking that his brain ached a little.

After a while, there was a babbling sound in the swaddling baby, and the little elder brother woke up.

Jiang Ling rubbed his temples, put those complicated thoughts out of his mind for a while, and played with the little elder brother for a while.The lady officer left after cleaning up the house, but didn't talk any more.Jiang Ling didn't ask any more questions.

On that night, Jiang Ling naturally brought Baoqin to the dreamland again.

Compared with this afternoon, Baoqin seemed much more excited, at least most of the gloom on his face had dissipated.Jiang Ling asked a few questions on the sidelines, and when she learned that Madam Wang had rejected Xue Baochai's idea, she couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

However, the reason Mrs. Wang rejected the idea was not that it might pose a threat to the status of the noble concubine, but that there was no one in a thousand people who looked similar to Jiang Ling, let alone one in such a situation. found in a short time.At that time Xue Baochai asked, "Didn't you say that there is a maid in our mansion who looks similar to Concubine Huang Gui?"At that time Madam Wang's expression changed immediately, and after a long time, she said forcefully that the maid had already died of tuberculosis as early as the year before last.

In fact, it was Mrs. Wang who suddenly thought that she could hold Jiang Ling's last hole card, the bottom card she held in her hand at the beginning, and Jiang Ling had already burned it in front of her face.After more than three years, when Mrs. Wang thought about it again, she couldn't help but feel regretful.

Moreover, Baoqin also said that although Mrs. Wang rejected the idea, she had already written a letter to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang would be able to reply in two days.Regarding matters in the palace, although Mr. Wang can't say anything, he can still come up with ideas.Two days ago, Mrs. Wang gave Mrs. Wang an idea, teaching her how to seek more benefits for herself when the family is separated. It is said that the effect is quite good.

After the thought of holding the piano was untied, he talked a lot, and it seemed that he had really let go.

Jiang Ling listened patiently to Baoqin's words, then sent her out again, and after a second thought, called Jia Lian in.

Jia Lian was not in such a good mood as holding the qin. As soon as he fell into the dream, he kicked the table and chairs in front of him several times one after another until he smashed the tables, stools and vases in the room. "Don't let the master catch your weakness, or the master will let you finish the game!" He also kicked the door hard, and he didn't know who he was referring to.

Jiang Ling served Jia Lian a pot of tea as before, and then stood silently by the side.

Jia Lian poured three pots of tea in one breath, with a stern expression on his face: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called title is just a show, and the second wife is bitten to death. This set! This year’s field sacrifices and meat sacrifices are not as good as in previous years. If you continue to toss like this, I’m afraid that even the last bit will be taken in. This family must score points, no matter how you make trouble, this family must Score! What did the third sister say last time? If the family is really separated, they will also be separated separately, and they will be counted as one household with Brother Huan and Aunt Zhao? Okay, very good, since even the second bedroom has to be divided, Then there is nothing more to say. No matter how many schemes Mr. Yue Tai tries to change, that is the business of their Wang family and has nothing to do with our Jia family!"

With a bang, he shattered the cup in his hand.

Jiang Ling listened for a while, and after Jia Lian had vented his anger, he asked, "Does Second Master have any complaints with the Wang family?"

Jia Lian said bitterly: "It's not just resentment, the resentment has gone too far."

Jiang Ling thought for a while, and then suggested: "Then why don't you start with the rules in the officialdom and let Mr. Wang do the same?"

Jia Lian paused and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

Jiang Ling said with a smile: "The second house of the Rongguo Mansion wants to separate. It's a private matter of the mansion, but anyone who has a little relationship with them may speak for someone. But it's different in the officialdom. If you do the matter of close relatives and old friends, you will be in a dilemma. Please think about it carefully, Master Wang, has he ever done anything 'special' in the officialdom for so many years? "

Jia Lian was even more puzzled: "You mean..."

Jiang Ling lowered his head, still looking like a servant: "The young one is stupid, not as quick-witted as the second master. But the young one knows that the second wife is determined not to have a hand in the official affairs. After all The second wife is a white body, and now that even the job of the second master Bao has been cut, it is even more white body. If you give Mr. Wang a warning in a place where the second wife can't see it, the effect should be good. And—”

Jiang Ling smiled, and said again: "You can still defeat them one by one, can't you?"
