It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 194

This is a way to save face, everyone doesn't know who, Nian had inquired seriously about Li and Song in the mansion, and heard that Song is also like a girl from the south, and compared it several times in his heart, now She almost burst out laughing at a glance, this pair of steamed buns was white and fat, but there was nothing graceful about it, she coughed and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, followed Song's words and said: "Sister is the waiter The old man, it's time for me to visit, I only hate that my body is not good."

The two said these two sentences back and forth, and they were both a little embarrassed. They both knew each other's details, and it was extremely boring to say this. They were both arrested, and no one was better than the other.

After thinking about it face to face, she couldn't open her mouth. After talking about the weather and tasting a piece of pastry, Nian stood up to say goodbye, and Song sent her to the door.The setting sun gilded the glazed tiles with gold. Looking at the prosperity of the city from afar, Nian's feeling of uneasiness flew away as if he had grown wings. The corner of his mouth smiled again, and he took a step forward with his head held high. One step to the side hall.Seeing her Pingting walking away, Song couldn't help laughing, Nian could at least make some money, other women would see no hope in this life.

Zhou Ting moved into the Tishun Hall and was in the palace just because of Yinzhen's words. She is a serious first-born queen, and she is divided into two rooms. Even if she lives in one room, no one dares to say that the emperor is wrong. .Yinzhen made a vow to keep filial piety, but even if his father lost his father outside, he had to keep filial piety, and there was no reason to insist that the head husband and wife should live separately.

Before Zhou Ting moved into the Tishun Hall, she made a lot of preparations at the Empress Dowager's place. Every day, she said two words about Yinzhen's body, fearing that it was too hard for him to take over the country. Third watch.

Therefore, when the news reached the Empress Dowager, she was only happy, and took Zhou Ting's hand and told her to look at Yinzhen well, and don't make him work too hard: "How can I become a fat man with one bite? Master is not as desperate as him, when you go and stare at him, how can you have the energy to do state affairs if you don't get enough sleep?"

The Empress Dowager said that Zhou Ting made a rule as soon as she left, telling the people in her room not to talk too much with the servants of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and they were not allowed to worship relatives, and they were not allowed to be companions. She should pay as little attention to the political hall as she can. Although she can't pretend to be deaf and blind, at least she can't give Yinzhen the impression that she cares about political affairs.

Although the two of them often discussed political affairs in the original mansion, it was different when they entered the palace. Zhou Ting knew that the harem should never interfere in politics.But this rule was broken by Yinzhen himself. He was in the apse of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review papers. When he looked up and saw that the light in Zhou Ting's room was still on, he immediately ordered Su Peisheng to ask the dining room to bring some cheese, but he deliberately refused to call. Put those red silk and green silk grape fruits, and nodded his chin after finishing speaking: "Please come over, master and empress."

Zhou Ting just entered the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation just like that. Yinzhen has been used to working in the back house all these years. His desk is put together with Hongzhao's calligraphy practice desk. Now he is not used to it by himself. Knowing that Zhou Ting was there, how could I hold back, so I hurried to stay with him.

Fei Cui bent her knees to untie her cloak, even though it was only a few steps away, the people below did not dare to neglect, such a place with the Empress is a kind of grace that has never been seen before, if she has a cold and cough, she can voluntarily leave After a while, we entered the Tishun Hall, which was the time for the maids and servants to worry about it.

Coral took over the hand stove, Su Peisheng opened the curtain to let Zhou Ting in, there was a thick stack of papers in front of Yinzhen's imperial case, he raised his eyes and smiled when he heard the noise, then looked down at the papers, his brows were tightly frowned.

Zhou Ting wiped her hands with a soft cloth, and stepped forward to help Yinzhen divide the memorial. She was used to doing these things in the mansion, and she didn't stop even when she was pregnant. Now the memorial is sent to Yinzhen before the case Naturally they sorted them out, but Zhou Ting was most familiar with his way of doing things, and after opening each book, she would know which one should be ranked first before showing it to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen is also used to let Zhou Ting divide it first, and the cinnabar that has been adjusted is stained on the wolf hair. Originally, Yinzhen insisted on using the blue pen for 27 months for imperial approval. He couldn't stop writing from time to time, and a memorial was almost full for him. Zhou Ting pursed her lips and smiled as soon as she swept her eyes. Although she had never seen how others critiqued a memorial, she knew that Yinzhen was in high spirits and wrote eloquently. Go on and on, sometimes more than others played.

She didn't interrupt him, just looked at the enamel clock to count the time, and when Yinzhen put down her pen and picked up a teacup to drink tea to refresh her mind, she rubbed his forehead: "Fuya will be seventeen in the new year, it stands to reason You should also get ready, Khan Ama had already arranged a marriage for her when she was here, but she was selected according to Dorogege's rank, shouldn't it be double-checked now?"

The grandchildren don’t have such long filial piety, even if they stay for a full year, it will be too late to prepare for the wedding at the end of next year, and Da Gege’s procrastination is almost a worry. The person in her life is also worthy of her identity. The marriage is settled, but her identity is different.

Yinzhen pondered for a while: "Since it was made by Han Ama, we naturally have no reason to change it." He narrowed his eyes comfortably, and Zhou Ting took the jade hammer to loosen his shoulders, and pursed her lips after hearing this.

Da Gege said that it was settled, but he hadn't issued a decree yet, so he let Kangxi reveal his intentions to Yinzhen, and was going to wait until he was granted a title before promulgating the decree of the marriage. Dare to say anything, from Duoluogege to Princess Heshuo, the husband-in-law is still the same. Although he is also a Mongolian Taiji, he is not as honorable as the elder brother's daughter-in-law.

This daughter has never been a worry, since Zhou Ting no longer cares about her, she is like a headless fly, wandering around and finding no way to regain Zhou Ting's favor.After entering the palace, she suddenly found a backbone, and she showed her courtesy to the empress dowager every day.

After all, it is my own granddaughter, and some bad things have been attributed to Li Shi. It is not easy to straighten a tree that has grown crooked.Da Gege revealed the meaning of being close, Li Shi is also a person who has gone, and the younger generation is careful to accompany him in front of him. After coming and going, the empress dowager showed more care for Da Gege.

It's not good for Zhou Ting not to take her seriously anymore, even if it's for her mother-in-law, she has to let her know why Da Gege fell out of favor.She doesn't want to argue with a little girl, since Big Ge has behaved herself, it's okay to give her some dignity.But who knew that Da Gege, who had only been taken care of by the empress dowager for a few days, had other thoughts. She felt that she was married too lowly.

Hongshi, Hongzhao and his uncle lived in the Dongsan Institute with the children of his uncle's family. The eldest girl and the second girl were loved by their elders since they were young, and they are also daughters-in-law. They were always surrounded by Zhou Ting and lived in Kunning Palace. In the palace, there is only Da Gege who can live in the same place without a biological mother, and can't just open a palace for her. Now she has only tidied up a house for her in the Beisan Institute.

She insisted on waking up early every day to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager followed her closely as soon as she raised her hand and moved her legs. After three months, she had gained something. Originally, she thought that if she put in more effort, the Empress Dowager would say something to her. In a word, to change her marriage to be more satisfactory, who knew that when she returned from the Compassionate Ning Palace to the North Third Institute, the palace staff at Zhou Ting gave her something.

It's not that Zhou Ting doesn't know Da Gege's thoughts, and she doesn't want to come with her anymore. This girl doesn't know how to grow her brain. If you tell her, she will go to other places in all likelihood, so she can only push her away. Pizi told Ming that the two Bingxin and Jade Pots had served her for many years, and they knew that she was holding back her strength and wanted to go up, but it was hard to persuade her. To put it bluntly, it was filial piety to ask An Dingsheng from the Empress Dowager, and it was impossible to talk about it. Ingratiate yourself.

Since it was intentional to let Da Gege know, Bing Xin just picked up the things, and the jade pot reported it. Da Gege turned pale and pinched the handkerchief and almost passed out. She never thought that she was Princess Heshuo, and married It's not as good as He Shuo Gege, whose face is so dark that dripping water, the word "dishu" pressed on her head made her gasp, she gritted her silver teeth and endured it for a long time before she let out a light breath, waiting for the imperial dining room to deliver the meal When it came, it was sent back intact.

Big Gege came back here for dinner, and Zhou Ting knew the news. She raised her eyebrows and leaned against the smoked cage and asked, "The people at the Empress Dowager asked, do you know how to answer?" Fei Cui gave Shan Shan a wink, Shan Shan He walked backwards out of the palace gate, and headed to the North Sansuo with the snow beads on his back.

Even if you don't know about the Compassion Palace today, Da Gege will be sick tomorrow, and he has invited Ann for more than three months, but he didn't come for a day, and the empress dowager always asks, if you keep asking, you will know the bottom .

Zhou Ting is really not afraid of things. Firstly, she doesn't believe that the Empress Dowager will stand by Da Gege's side. Secondly, this matter was decided by Yinzhen, and it wasn't that her aunt intended to be a concubine. Are you still afraid that Da Gege "can't eat"?I don't know what she relied on to dare to make these small things. Is it because she thinks that the empress dowager will protect her?Or is it really not reconciled to marrying low for the last time?
Zhou Ting was impatient to inquire about Da Gege's affairs, but she couldn't get her hands off her hands. It's better to hug Shou Tao'er more, he still refuses to speak, much later than his brothers and sisters, Zhou Ting was a little anxious.

Sure enough, as expected by Zhou Ting, the empress dowager and the eldest girl and the second girl realized that Da Gege was not there after chatting a few words about homework.
Go up and tell her that Rui Zhu is still serving the Empress Dowager now, but she has been promoted to Aunt Rui.

Zhou Ting clasped her hands to her knees and tightened her hand to the stove. Fox fur was rolled around the edge of her robe. It was all from the fox's armpit strands. It was dense, light and warm, and it was hard to get. He scratched the hair on his head with his fingernails, and only sighed after Ruizhu finished reporting: "This child has always been weak, and he always coughs for a few days in winter. I seem to be cured, but he has it again." Ask someone to give her jujube paste and hawthorn balls for her appetizer.

Even if the empress dowager didn't get to the bottom of it, Ruizhu would report it. Zhou Ting lowered her eyes and drank tea, Ruizhu clung to the empress dowager's ear, and as soon as she uttered a few words, she saw the empress dowager frowned slightly, with a smile on her face. His mind calmed down, and he waved his hand: "Since she is not in good health, I will excuse her from paying her respects. Only when she is in good health can she be filial to her parents."

Concubine De walked from a palace servant to the Empress Dowager, although the second half relied on her son, but the first half also gave Yinzhen a good start, walking step by step among the four concubines, she knew exactly what she was relying on.She relied on her husband for the first half of her life, and relied on her son for the second half of her life. Now that Yinzhen has made up her mind to be a filial son who will not change her father's will, how could she try to tear down her son?There is no need for Zhou Ting to distinguish, she will also stand on Zhou Ting's side.

The Empress Dowager's words were passed on, Da Gege was able to get up to eat in the afternoon, and on the second day he made a lot of agreements, and on the third day he went back to the Compassion Palace to pay his respects, and there was no word that he couldn't eat anymore.

Big Gege became more and more silent day by day, he could have some fun with the Empress Dowager, but now he only listened to it, and the rules were full of caution, the Empress Dowager was getting old, so she would be soft-hearted, and had two reservations about her. It's very pity, since the marriage cannot be changed, even if there is more dowry, she can save her life, it can be seen that she can't afford it and feels dissatisfied.

The eldest girl and the second girl were still close to her when they were young, but the older they got, the more distant they became. Now they don't like to see this sister, and they still want to see her once they hear that she is sick.Spring had just started in the capital, green shoots had just appeared on the branches, and there was still frost on the ground, so Zhou Ting allowed them to use horseshoes instead of walking on the road from Kunning Palace to Beisan.

Beisan was at the back of Jingyang Palace, and when he was walking past the gate, concubine Nian, who was inside, heard the news and waited at the gate, waiting for the big girl and the second girl to go back and ran into him.

Although she is a concubine, she is also father's concubine and the elder of the two of them. If the eldest girl and the second girl are not happy to see her, they will still come down to greet her.Er Niu frowned in displeasure, she had never saluted someone with such status before!It was the New Year's Eve, when the two sisters appeared, they were immediately summoned by the Empress Dowager. Although the mother had taught them to greet everyone, they had no chance to practice it.

She has a temperament that can't hide her words, and she is used to being pampered, and her face immediately showed, even the servants around her are also angry, whoever is on the tablet dares to stop Princess Gu Lun.

The eldest girl glanced at Nianshi, and seeing a thin layer of snow falling on her shoulders, she knew that she was waiting for them specially. She turned her side slightly to block her sister, and bent her knees towards Nianshi.

Nian intended to follow the rules, but when she was at home, her mother-in-law neglected to teach her. After she got married, the empress dowager picked a nanny to come over, but she couldn't turn this corner by herself, and now she still carries half of her body The concubine's airs accepted the gift calmly.

This time, not only the slave palace servants around the big girl Erniu, but also the maids who came out with Nianshi were dumbfounded. They followed Nianshi to serve the New Year's banquet. These two are more favored by the emperor than elder brother. Now The concubine Jin accepted the gift at the request of her mother, this will make the queen unhappy, concubine Jin will at most lower her status, what can they do with these things.

This is also because Nian was in a hurry. She suppressed her temper and waited for a long time. She looked forward to it day by day until she would watch the New Year's Eve, dress up and sit on the table. He didn't turn around to her, just a few children surrounded him, the big one acted like a petite fool, the queen alone held Shiro tightly, and the dozen or so little Chang Zai sat upright , The chopsticks dare not move too much.

Nian originally thought that the future would be long, but as soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the people in her palace were locked up again. Seeing that they would have to wait for a year to be released, although she lost her temper in Zhuangzi, she still had the heart of a blockbuster. How could she bear it now that she couldn't see the end of her palace.

The big girl and the second girl stayed at Da Gege's place for half a stick of incense. When Nian heard the news, he was restless. After thinking for a long time, he still came out wearing a cloak, thinking of making friends first.The eldest girl and the second girl used to act like little daughters in front of the empress dowager and Yinzhen. Nian thought they were spoiled endlessly, thinking that the two children would be easy to please, so he simply put on big clothes come out.

She talked to herself for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her except the big girl moved her knees to salute her. Nian blushed and stepped back two steps: "It was the concubine who blocked Gege's way. Go to pay respects to the mistress of the master, this is how we met, Gege and others are going to the empress of the master?"

The eldest girl smiled lightly: "This is going to Huang Mama's place, Er Niang is resting, please don't disturb her sleep." Then she turned around and took Fen Jing's hand, and went back to push her up , leaving Nian to watch them off with a forced smile on his face.

Naturally, they didn't really go to the Empress Dowager's place. It was getting late, and it was time to go to the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation for dinner. Er Niu just stepped down and ran into the house. Zhou Tingyinzhen was there, They were leaning against the window and talking together, when the curtain slid, Er Niu shot into Zhou Ting's arms like a small cannonball.

Her small face turned pale with anger, and she couldn't stop twisting her arms around Zhou Ting's waist. Zhou Ting was surprised when she saw the big girl follow in and sat down in front of Zhou Ting, seeing Yinzhen poking her mouth up and ignoring her.

The two daughters have always been affectionate to Yinzhen, and they are happier seeing Ama than seeing Er Niang, but now they see them less than before, and they insist on acting coquettishly when they see them. Zhou Ting still behaves like this today. Without asking Yinzhen, he became strange first: "What's the matter? The second girl is not happy?"

Erniu still buried her face and refused to get up, Yinzhen walked over to touch her head, Zhou Ting glanced at Fenjing who followed in, seeing her drooping her head and not daring to go forward, she couldn't guess what was going on for a while, Warmly persuaded: "Why don't you tell Ama Erniang? Who has wronged us Erniuniu?" As he spoke, he shook Erniu's shoulders, and when she saw that she still refused to raise her head, she gave Shan Shan a wink. After ordering snacks, I retreated out to inquire.

Fei Cui hurriedly twisted the hot towel and handed it to Zhou Ting. The second girl came from outside with the Sujin cloak still tied around her neck. Seeing that she couldn't be pulled, Zhou Ting patted her on the shoulder: "Hurry up and put the cloak on!" Take it off, isn't it uncomfortable to be entangled like this?"

Only then did Erniu raise her head, she was awkward and refused to talk to Yinzhen, she pursed her lips and wiped her hands and face.When she came, my sister stopped her and didn't allow her to complain first. Although Concubine Jin did too much, it had to come from her parents. The two of them are juniors after all, and they have already met. It's not their turn to swallow.

The two sat facing each other and refused to snuggle up to Yinzhen's side. Zhou Ting looked at her husband suspiciously and gave her a questioning look. Give my precious daughter a grievance.When Su Peisheng entered the door with a short body and leaned in to speak a few words in his ear, he immediately frowned.

Zhou Ting still couldn't make up her mind, and saw Yinzhen coughing with fists, rubbing his nose and saying, "When the weather gets warmer, let's stay in Yuanmingyuan."

The second girl raised her head from Zhou Ting's arms, her eyes widened in surprise: "Really?" She glanced at Yinzhen as she spoke, her mouth was still raised high, and she turned her head to shake Zhou Ting's sleeve: "Er Niang, Is it real?"

Zhou Ting touched her warm jade-like hand and smiled: "Of course it is true, you and your sister will live in the original yard first, and when the new garden is built, you may choose a place you like."

Her daughter never made trouble for no reason. Even if Zhou Ting didn't understand at first, she understood Yinzhen's attitude. She coaxed her two daughters for a long time and promised many benefits. Then Erniu pursed her lips and pointed her finger at Yinzhen. Talking about conditions: "Let's go as a family!"

Zhou Ting raised her eyebrows clearly, and Yinzhen's embarrassment just now intensified, Zhou Ting patted her daughter's back: "It turns out that our family is going, it's just this little, and it's not as good as Huang Mama's." Go there and say hello, there is a pot of roasted duck today."
