royal girl

Chapter 127
The three of them looked at each other, and then heard Ji Qiyu continue to say: "Luo Hongsheng had better be able to hold on, don't take out even a single piece of money, and wait until King Ning's faction is at the end of their ropes, then they can attack them with one fell swoop, and they will surely win a complete victory."

Xu Shi was forced by Prince Jing's aura, and several people could feel the swarming spirit of the prince, which was unstoppable and made people tremble.

At this time, Xin Guogong discussed countermeasures with King Ning.

"That old fox Luo Hongsheng, it's as difficult as ever to get a penny out of him, so I can only think of another way." Duke Xin Guo looked at Ji Fuyan with a solemn expression, "The emperor will leave the matter of border food to the prince. , is to value and test the prince, if he can handle the errands well, the weight of the prince in the emperor's heart will definitely increase."

"Ignore these things for now, just talk about how to get the grain and silver." Ji Fuyan calmed down now, knowing that things should not be rushed, "Back then Luo Hongsheng was able to borrow silver from the salt merchant, so it is possible that the king could not?"

The room suddenly became quiet, surrounded by dense incense, and looked dignified.

Huiyu never thought of being able to shine on the big stage of the imperial court since she traveled through time, so after she came up with her idea, she immediately returned to the perfect days of eating, drinking and sleeping.The lazy Second Madam Dong couldn't bear to look down on her anymore, so she almost yelled at her by her ears.

"Which girl can be as free as you, have her own small kitchen, no one will embarrass you when you go in and out, and the food, drink and clothing are the best, why do you still complain and let others live?" Xue Runiang late autumn After being ill for a while, after recovering from the illness, he also looked a little weak, and his skin was white enough to bleed under the sun.

"That's right." Dong Feiling looked at Huiyu with a smile, took a sip of the tea cup in her hand, and smiled.

Huiyu gave the two of them a helpless look, and then said: "Cousin, have you finished the medicinal materials I sent you earlier? They are all good for warming and nourishing. Don't be reluctant to eat them."

"I'm eating every day, please hang on, I'm much better now." Xue Runiang is really grateful to Huiyu, she is generous, and she is willing to give good things to others.

Dong Feiling looked at the two of them and said: "Second sister is sincerely kind to her cousin, and there are many other sisters who are not like this."

"Did I treat you badly? Well, if you say that, I'll take back the material I just gave you."

"That can't be done. What is given to me is mine. The second sister can't go back on her word."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, it was cold in the early winter, the three of them were sitting on the couch facing each other, the room was warmed by burning earth dragons, they held fragrant tea in their hands, talking eloquently, it was really a great thing in life.On the small kang table made of rosewood in the middle, there are steaming food brought by Bingying. The room is full of sweet fragrance and refreshing.

Perhaps it was because Dong Wan was not very happy after her marriage, and the remaining two Dong girls plus a cousin girl had a feeling of sympathy, and they got along more intimately than before.Some things, only when they reach a certain point, people will feel the desire to cherish the emotions other than mutual help and mutual assistance between relatives.

"I heard that it is not easy for the eldest sister to be in the palace." Dong Feiling is the one who has the closest relationship with Dong Wan on the surface but is actually the farthest. Who made them have the same father and not the same mother.

Xue Ru Niang coughed lightly from sideways, turned her head to look at them and said: "Yesterday I also heard that the Da Furen complained about her grievances with the Tai Furen. It seems that the cousin is really unhappy in the palace. It's just that we are all daughters in the boudoir. What can I do?" Even if you are married, you still have two surnames, and if you want to help, you have to look at the meaning of your husband's family.Only the daughter's family is the most difficult in this world, and everyone must be considerate in every way.

Huiyu pushed the dim sum plate on the table for the two to eat, and then said: "This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing, and it is not good for the eldest aunt to visit from time to time. Not to mention, to put it ugly, the eldest sister is sideways. Concubine, there are some things that you have to endure even if you are wronged."

Among the three, Dong Feiling felt the most deeply about this sentence. Her aunt has suffered a lot of grievances under Da Furen's hands for so many years.As Huiyu said, you have to bear with your grievances, who made you a concubine.

Maybe Dong Feiling would feel relieved when she saw this before, but now she feels a little sad. Dong Wan, as the eldest daughter of Dingguo Duke's family, must be like this, so they may not be so in the future.Not everyone is as lucky as the second sister, because of her, Prince Jing is not willing to carry the side concubine in first.

"It would be great if there is a way to help." Dong Feiling sighed, this truth that I didn't understand before, prosperity and prosperity together, loss and loss.But as Dong Wan got married and became a side concubine, every time she went out to socialize with the eldest lady, she would hear other people's gossip.Even though the eldest sister was framed by others, not everyone knew the whole story, and it was just a ridicule in the end.

"If I can help, I'm willing to do my part, but..." Xue Ru Niang smiled bitterly, looked at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid I'm powerless." I'm already dependent on others, so what can I do to help.

Huiyu looked at the two of them and said, "That may not be the case."

Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang looked at Huiyu together, "Do you have a solution?"

"I think that my eldest sister's child is a few months old now, why don't we make some small clothes, shoes, and bellybands and send them over."

"There are embroidered ladies in the house..." Dong Feiling looked at Huiyu with some hesitation.

"We are the child's future aunts and aunts, so what's the difference?" Huiyu looked at the two and said, "As long as we form a bond, others will have to think a little more when they see our sisters working together in harmony."

Dong Feiling's eyes lit up, she nodded immediately and said, "Second Sister is absolutely right, we must do our best as aunts." Not to mention her and Cousin Xue, even as Second Sister, Princess Jing, others have to Let's weigh it first, let alone the fact that King Jing first declined the concubine's entry into the mansion to support the face of the second sister.

Xue Runiang also nodded with a smile, and she felt at ease if she could contribute, and she always expressed her heart when eating and living with others.

Both Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang's female celebrities left Huiyu Shibajie, so Huiyu simply spoke instead of doing anything.Instructing the girls to bring out the materials from the warehouse and put them on the table, they piled up a table full of all kinds of colors, dazzling people who looked at it.

"I'll provide the material, and you will provide the labor, so I can be confident." Huiyu thinks this is a good idea. She is a scumbag, so don't be ashamed.

Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them got busy.

After the eldest lady heard about this incident, she specially opened her own small private treasury and gave each of the three a jade hairpin. The style is not novel but the jade material is very good, and there is a calm look when worn on the head .

"The eldest lady was very happy when she heard about what the girls were going to do. Thank you girls for remembering the eldest lady. These jade hairpins were my wife's dowry back then. Let the girls wear them for fun." Mother Liu saw that the house was full of materials, and there were already cut clothes and bellybands thrown on the big kang. Although the house was messy, it made me feel happy to see how busy it was.

Huiyu took it over and looked at Yuchai, then turned her head to the two of them and said, "We've made a lot of money, a few bolts of material can be exchanged for such a hairpin, my aunt really loves us." Looking at Mama Liu, she said, "Thank you auntie for us. We just thought that the child of big sister would always call us aunt in the future. How could we bear it for nothing? It's costing my auntie money."

"No fee, no fee, Madam said, you sisters are happy when you get along." Mother Liu said hastily, and after a while, she got up and left.

After sending Mama Liu away, the room was a little quiet, but Dong Feiling suddenly said: "A loving mother."

Huiyu knew what it meant, and Xue Runiang also smiled, thinking that her mother, who risked her life to send herself to the capital and could not marry a businessman, was willing to degenerate, her eyes turned red.I don't know if my mother is doing well now, since she came to Kyoto, she never went back.Before, Mrs. Tai thought that she wanted to bring her mother to Beijing for the reason of talking about her marriage, but who knew that she was sick, and the delay lasted for more than half a year, and she didn't know what happened.

The lady's move made Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang more careful in their work, and it was three or four days later when the clothes were ready and delivered to Huiyu.

"Auntie has sent a message to Prince Ning's Mansion, saying that we will visit Eldest Sister tomorrow." Huiyu looked at them and said.

If it is the main wife, Da Furen wants to see her daughter, how can there be such twists and turns.Every time I enter Prince Ning's Mansion, it's just like Xia Bingyu lowering her head. For a person like Da Furen, it's really uncomfortable.

"Are we going together?" Dong Feiling was a little uneasy, and his face turned pale when he remembered what happened last time.

Huiyu nodded, "Let's go together. After we go, maybe Princess Ning will talk to us. At that time, the third sister and cousin will sit there smiling."

The only one who can match Xia Bingyu's status is Huiyu, and neither of them nodded at the first sight after hearing what she said.

Seeing the dignified expressions of the two, Huiyu couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that Prince Ning's Mansion is still a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? See how frightened you are. It's okay, we are also girls of the Dong family, so we have to show our dignity. Can she still eat you?"

Dong Feiling sighed, "I used to be acquainted with Concubine Ning, but I always feel that she is different after she gets married. When she was in her boudoir, she made people want to get close, but now..."

"Now that I'm Princess Ning, I naturally have to show the style of a princess. How can I be the same as when I was a girl?" Huiyu smiled. Now Xia Zhaoyi and Xia Guiren are at odds in the palace. Xia Bingyu, as Xia Zhaoyi's direct daughter-in-law, It's Xia Guiren's cousin again, so it's not easy to be caught in the middle.

"A rising tide just lifts all boats." Xue Runiang didn't go back last time, but this time it was hard to shirk, but she was a little depressed, and she couldn't afford to offend anyone, so she had to be careful.

On the second day, the eldest lady prepared the carriage for several people early, and the girls of the Duke's Mansion traveled with undiminished style.Two carriages, the tall horses pulling the carriages are smooth in color, with healthy hoofs and smooth spleens. The two carriages are spacious and comfortable. They are made of huanghuali, decorated with gold and silver. Hollow golden bells hang from the four corners. Pedestrians kept watching.Huiyu sat alone in a carriage, while Xue Runiang and Dong Feiling were in a carriage, with attendants on both sides guarding the road, and they were full of style.

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Ning's mansion, and the guards who guarded the gate were stunned for a moment, didn't they say that Mrs. Ding Guo would not come?It seems that when Mrs. Dingguo came here last time, there was not such a big battle.

Waiting at the door was still the same mother Zhao from last time, who was also slightly stunned at this time, but immediately responded with the girl behind her.

Huiyu helped Xueqi's hand to get out of the carriage, looked at Mammy Zhao and first smiled, "I'm causing trouble for Mammy again."

"Look at what you said, I can't afford to be an old slave." Zhao Mama smiled all over her face, but she was a little suspicious in her heart, "Second Miss, please hurry up, our princess knows you are coming, so I am waiting."

Huiyu smiled, looked sideways to see that Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang had arrived, then smiled and said, "Then let's go." She didn't mean to tell Mammy Zhao who was here last time. Fei Ling has been here, and Zhao Mama knows it, but she has never seen Xue Runiang.But you can guess it.

Among the three, Xue Runiang is the oldest, and Hui Yu is the highest, but at this time Hui Yu is walking side by side with Xue Runiang, and Dong Feiling is slightly behind.

Seeing this, Mother Zhao's heart trembled, she hurriedly chased after her, and led several people into the mansion.After entering the side door, there was already a soft sedan waiting, and the soft sedan did not drop until it was in front of the second door.

Seeing Xia Bingyu again after such a long time, Huiyu felt a little dazed.Ever since Prince Ning and Prince Jing were in the Ministry of Households to urge the frontier grain, and the other was entangled in the salt affairs, it seemed that the well water did not interfere with the river water, but in private it was you who came and went and went through a few tricks.

Huiyu told Ji Qiyu through Dong Yunji's mouth before that he could pay for food and salt. This matter is simple to say, but it is extremely complicated to do.First of all, we must drive Ji Fuyan to a corner and there is no way out. However, Ji Fuyan is supported by the Xinguo Mansion behind him. I am afraid that this result will not be achieved for a while, so now the two seem to be calm, but the two subordinates The contacts have already been beaten to pieces.Huiyu didn't know the specifics, but only knew that Dong Yunji had met Ji Qiyu several times during this period. Anyway, Ji Qiyu was just like Xing Yulang, pulling Dong Yunji's banner and shouting without any burden.

wipe!
When Xia Bingyu saw Huiyu again, she went up to greet them affectionately, invited them into the room, and said, "It's so cold today, come in first to keep warm."

"I've seen the princess." Huiyu and the others sat down after seeing each other first.

Xia Bingyu smiled and said, "We're all a family, why bother to see outsiders like this."

"Etiquette cannot be broken. Those who know the princess are tolerant and magnanimous. Those who don't know think that our sisters don't understand etiquette." Huiyu smiled, pointed to Xue Runiang and said, "This is my cousin Xue Runiang. She came to visit my grandmother from Yuzhou. People like my grandmother so much that they are reluctant to let her go, and we are also reluctant to let her go, so we asked my cousin to stay in Beijing for a longer period of time."

A few words and a few words turned Xue Runiang's helpless refuge into the meaning of visiting the old man to stay in Beijing, and it took Xue Runiang's face into consideration.In fact, Xia Bingyu may not know how Xue Runiang came to Beijing, but she knew it, but what the Dong family said was the clear answer that was announced to the public, which is different.

"Miss Xue is really well-born. No wonder Mrs. Tai likes it, even I like it very much when I see it." Xia Bingyu took Xue Runiang's hand affectionately and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Why are your hands so cold?" Turning her head, she ordered, "Bring a hand stove to Miss Xue."

"No, thank you, Princess. I brought the hand stove by myself, but I left it in the car when I got off. It's okay." Xue Runiang smiled and declined. The family treated her harshly.

Huiyu's face was expressionless, and Dong Feiling smiled and said nothing. After seeing Xue Runiang sitting down, Huiyu said, "Is the princess all right? My aunt is busy at home, and I wanted to visit my eldest sister in person, but what can I do?" Without moving our legs, the few of us had no choice but to come by ourselves."

Xia Bingyu just smiled, "Mrs. Lao Guo is concerned, everything is fine. It's just that the year is approaching, and there are more things to do. I have ordered to go down for lunch, but I have to go to the palace at noon and I am afraid I can't accompany you. I have informed Concubine Dong, you can eat at her place, so you can talk to each other."

"Thank you, Princess, for your sympathy." Huiyu smiled, stood up and said, "My princess is busy, so we sisters won't bother you."

Xia Bingyu also sighed, "I should have talked about it, but there are a lot of things at home, sister Dong, don't be surprised."

"Don't dare, the princess is naturally busy taking care of the whole family, and our eldest aunt is also busy all day long." Huiyu said slowly, looking at Xia Bingyu with a charming smile, "how can we be like us all day long?" If you can be lazy, the eldest sister is under the care of the princess, and the eldest aunt is very relieved."

Xia Bingyu's expression froze, and soon returned to normal, "It's all the prince's blood, and I regard it as my own, Madam Dingguo, don't worry."

Huiyu thanked her, and then said goodbye to Xia Bingyu with a smile.In order to prevent what happened last time, Huiyu specially asked Mother Zhao to lead the way.

When Huiyu and the others left, Yan Rong beside him whispered, "Er Miss Dong is too irritating."

Yan He glanced at Xia Bingyu and said quickly: "What nonsense." After speaking, she looked at Xia Bingyu with a smile and said: "It's time for the princess to change clothes, and she should enter the palace in a while."

Xia Bingyu glanced at the two girls, walked slowly into the inner room, and then said: "Dong Huiyu is much more difficult than Dong Concubine." How can someone who can force the Dingguo Palace to make Dong Wan a side concubine? simple people.And recently, I heard that her eldest brother's relationship with King Jing was broken, and after entering the palace, my aunt was going to talk about her son's bullying with Xia Guiren, and it gave me a headache to think about it endlessly.

She also wanted to have a child, but she couldn't conceive for some reason.I also asked the imperial doctor to see that her body is fine, she is more anxious than anyone else.Seeing that Dong Wan's pregnancy is getting bigger and bigger, if she gives birth to a son in the coming year... Although the side concubine is a concubine, the child she gives birth to is not a concubine, and of course it is not a concubine. Headache.

The concubines of ordinary people cannot enter the ancestral hall to worship, nor can they be recorded in the genealogy. Even if they have children and their sons can be included in the genealogy, only noble concubines can.But the concubine of the royal family is different, she can enter the jade butterfly as soon as she enters the door, and there is also a place for worship in the ancestral hall, so if Dong Wan is left as the eldest son of the prince, the threat is big enough.

Huiyu was really surprised when she saw Dong Wan. She didn't gain much weight, and she was a bit haggard.Even with makeup on to cover it up, it can be seen that something is bad.

"Big sister." Huiyu looked at her in surprise.

Dong Wan smiled, asked everyone to sit down, and looked at the big bag brought by the girl behind her, and asked someone to open it with a busy smile, and when she took it out, her face was a little radiant, "This craftsmanship is amazing. That's great, it must be the handwriting of the third sister and cousin, are you lazy again?"

"I made the material." Huiyu followed Dong Wan's words, knowing that Dong Wan might have scruples if she didn't say anything else at this time, "I am not good at needlework, so I don't want to embarrass my nephew in clothes." .”

This joke made the atmosphere in the room more relaxed, Ziyuan and Zizhu brought the little girl to bring refreshments, and then led everyone to retreat.

When there was no one in the room, Dong Wan looked at the three of them and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I haven't had a good rest recently, so I'm a little haggard."

Huiyu looked at Dong Wan, "Don't lie to me, I know it's not like this." Who is Dong Wan?Even if it is for the sake of the child, it is impossible to have a good rest, that is, someone does not want her to have a good rest.

"You look like a cross-eyed person. Your temper has not changed at all. You will suffer when you marry someone in the future." Dong Wan sighed lightly. Only after you are married will you know the hardships involved. Some things are really disgusting. I feel like I can't speak out when I complain.

"Did she make things difficult for you?" Huiyu felt that this matter must have something to do with Xia Bingyu.

Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang glanced at each other, they couldn't talk too much at this time, so they could only sit and listen.

Dong Wan stretched out her hand and nodded Huiyu's head, "Can you talk nonsense? Our concubine is the most virtuous and generous, why would you make things difficult for me?"

Hui Yu chuckled, Dong Wan's words are always turning corners now, could it be that walls have ears?Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly, walked lightly to the curtain, and lifted the curtain abruptly, only to see a somewhat familiar face staring at him with a surprised expression. Huiyu would actually do this.

Huiyu frowned, combed the woman's head, she must not be a girl, but she looked familiar.And she dared to openly eavesdrop in Dong Wan's room, who gave her the courage?
Huiyu immediately suppressed the fear in her heart, and said to the woman angrily, "Go and ask the girl who makes tea to change a pot, who can serve in front of the side concubine with such poor tea making skills?"

The woman squeezed out a smile, and said hurriedly: "Young maidservant, I'll go now, second girl, don't be angry. The tea maker is a new girl, so I think she hasn't practiced her skills well yet."

"A new girl?" Hui Yu frowned, "Isn't the girl named Lan Xuan who made tea with Big Sister before, and didn't wait for the master when he came, how dare he be lazy?"

"Lan Xuan was kicked out, and she made a mistake in her job. It's the master's tolerance to save her life. The second girl doesn't know what's going on, so calm down, and this servant will make tea for you."

Seeing the girl run away, Hui Yu turned around and walked back, looking at Dong Wan, "This girl looks familiar."

"It turned out to be the second-class girl next to me, the one named Lan Meng, do you remember?" Dong Wan didn't get angry at all when she saw Huiyu making trouble, instead she smiled cheerfully.

Hui Yu remembered that the girl had combed her woman's hair, her complexion changed slightly, she looked at Dong Wan and said, "She...she..."

"I said earlier that our concubine is a virtuous person. I was afraid that the prince would have no one to serve me. I wanted to send a girl here. I would let the concubine bother, so I turned Lan Meng's face away." Dong Wan stroked her stomach and smiled slightly. "It's a pity, this person's heart is changeable."

The faces of Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang also changed, they looked at Dong Wan worriedly, Dong Feiling said: "She is my sister's girl, do you still dare to betray my sister?"

"Even if it's my girl, now she's the prince's roommate..." Dong Wan smiled wryly.

"Then Lan Xuan?" Hui Yu felt that this was the key.

"Sold out, charged with cheating on the master's bed, and then it was Lan Meng who came on top."

Hui Yu's face darkened, and hearing Dong Wan's meaning, it must be that Lan Meng had already surrendered to Xia Bingyu, and that's why she murdered Lan Xuan, and then she climbed up.Now that Lan Meng showed her face in front of Ji Fuyan, with Xia Bingyu's backing, if Lan Meng herself was careful, Dong Wan would have no way to deal with her if she didn't get the handle.

It's no wonder Dong Wan's expression is not good, there is such a thing in front of him who is disgusting all day long, so it is natural to gamble and be on guard.

"Why didn't you tell the family?"

Dong Wan heard that and looked at Huiyu, "There's nothing to say, who doesn't have any disgusting things, if you tell the family everything, don't talk about causing trouble to the family, it's not easy to interfere with the Wangfu's family here, just feel sad."

"Is there no way to punish her? Isn't her body deed in your hands? How dare you do such a thing?"

"If I were the first concubine, she wouldn't dare, and now I'm just a side concubine." Dong Wan's expression was numb, there was still a mountain on top of her head, and there were some things that she couldn't do if she wanted to.If Xia Bingyu caught her, it would be even more harmless, especially since she was still pregnant with her child, which made her even more difficult.
