royal girl

Chapter 222: Little White Lotus

Mrs. Dong Er was attracted by Master Dong Er's face before marriage in this life, but she was disillusioned by his character after marriage, and the days of the two gradually drifted apart.

Before marriage, you will always show the best side to each other, but after marriage, you will always show the worst side to each other. A huge gap will cause an imbalance in the marriage, which will lead to various conflicts and even strangers. .

What Madam Dong is most disappointed with Master Dong is that this man will never fight for it, and will always stand under the eaves of Madam Tai and Duke Ding.If a man doesn't even have any masculinity, and spends all day beckoning cats and dogs, doing nothing, even if he can respect each other like a guest, what's the point of being a thrush.He couldn't understand her, and she couldn't understand him, and then it turned into seeing each other better than seeing each other.

This man, who didn't know how to fight, was kneeling outside the Shuangfu Courtyard at this moment, with a bruised forehead, and with a smirk, hugging his leg, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this man was really useless.But for the first time, Mrs. Dong felt that this man was a lot fatter than before marriage. The flesh on his face concealed a bit of his former handsome face. She looked at her with a flattering smile, but he was not so unflattering. like.

"Get up." Mrs. Dong Er squatted down, looked at Master Dong Er at the same level, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust on his forehead. The bulging bag might not be able to get out of it for a few days.

Master Dong Er smiled stupidly, "You go back first, and I'll be back later."

"You made Mrs. Tai angry?"

"Well, it's nothing serious, I'm used to it, and it will be fine after a while."

"For today's matter?"

"No... no, it's something else."

"You stutter when you lie, who are you lying to?"

"..." Second master Dong wanted to cry, "It's really nothing serious, so don't worry about it." He is really stupid, he can't do anything well, but he used to think he was very imposing and stupid missing.

"It's not a trivial matter for you to come out and kneel here." Normally, you kneel in the yard, but now you kneel outside the gate of the yard. Mrs. Dong thought about what could make Taifu With such popularity, Dong Er was thrown here to kneel and stomp on his face.Suddenly she thought of something, her eyes flickered, she looked at Master Dong Er and asked, "Are you talking about the separation again?"

"Hehe, no, no..." No success, Second Master Dong was very frustrated, and he didn't want his wife to rub against his mother, so he wanted to cover it up, but his wife guessed it all at once.

This cleverness is really... so sad.

"I told you that I can't be in a hurry, why don't you listen." Mrs. Dong was angry, funny and distressed. At the same time, she also felt that living in this place was really boring.Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong Er stood up, looked at Master Dong Er and said: "Kneel down, I will go in and say hello to mother, and I will come out in a while."

Second Master Dong took a closer look, only to see that his daughter-in-law's expression was as usual, but he didn't see anything wrong, he was slightly relieved.I rashly proposed to separate the family, and his mother was angry and punished him to kneel down. His wife probably felt that there was nothing to say about this matter. It seemed that there would be no trouble with his mother, so she waved her big hand and said with a smile: " Go, go, go back and rest after asking Ann."

"Okay." Mrs. Dong Er replied with a smile, and then she stepped into the Shuangfu Courtyard, followed by the girl and woman who followed carefully around Master Dong Er.

Seeing Second Madam Dong enter the courtyard, Mama Cui opened the curtain and came out to respond, "This old slave pays my respects to Second Madam."

"Mama Cui, please." Mrs. Dong Er smiled and helped Cui Mama, "Is it convenient for Madam Tai now, let me say hello to her old lady." Madam showed her kindness, and if Madam Tai had something on her side, she would be notified in advance to avoid lightning.When she asks this question now, there is also a sense of temptation in it.

Cui's mother said in a low voice: "Madam, why don't you go back first, Madam Tai is not in a good mood right now, so I will go later and say that you have been here."

The Second Madam Dong shook her head, "I have received my mother's kindness, but there are some things that I cannot return."

Cui's mother is a sensible person. When Huiyu was here, she also got advice from her, and she has always gotten along well.Now Cui's mother can also see that the house is not peaceful, the second master is still kneeling outside, and the second wife will definitely be punished if she goes in, so it's better to avoid it first.But seeing that the second lady knew what she would do and was unwilling to avoid it, she sighed in her heart and could only say, "Then wait a minute, I'll go in and reply."

"I'm sorry." Mrs. Dong said with a smile.

"It's all the duty of a slave, Madam, please wait a moment." Mother Cui turned around and went in.

Second Mrs. Dong remembered what her daughter said to her today, and she actually felt a little more confident in her heart. She had to say that with Prince Jing intervening, even Mrs. Tai would have to retreat a little.It's just how to say this matter, so that it can be said better and more decently. It can't make Mrs. Tai angry, but also let Mrs. Tai know that this matter is inevitable, and it will be a matter of time when the family is separated.Now this family can no longer live in harmony as before, or it could not be harmonious before, but there is no way.Now it's good to take advantage of King Su's banquet, but if King Jing really comes forward in the future, it will inevitably be suspected of oppressing others. The daughter has good intentions, but she can't let their husband and wife follow others to be instructed.

When Mrs. Dong Er was young, she was full of enthusiasm. She rushed forward and didn't think about whether it was right or wrong, whether it was right or wrong, and whether it was right or wrong.I have been impulsive when I was young, and I have experienced many things. Now I am old enough to understand the truth of many things.

Now, if she is the only one, it doesn't matter what happens.But when the daughter is married, the son will marry a daughter-in-law. In the future, the family of the second room will always be separated. What if there is no one who can take care of it?
Today she made up her mind that no matter what, she would have a good talk with Mrs. Tai and explain the truth.

Before Mama Cui came out, Mrs. Dong Er was waiting outside. She also knew that Mrs. Tai was angry and asked her to wait outside to express her anger. If she couldn't bear it, what could she bear?What's more, the mother-in-law wants to punish her daughter-in-law, so she still has to show a big reason?

When Yan Yibai rushed over, he saw Second Master Dong kneeling outside the door, and Second Mrs. Dong standing in the courtyard. After a slight pause, he took a deep breath and walked forward quickly.First greeted the second master Dong outside, then hurried into the yard and stood beside Mrs. Dong second, curtseying, "Second aunt."

Mrs. Dong has a temperament with clear grievances and grudges. Seeing that it was Yan Yibai, she smiled, "My niece and daughter-in-law are here. Mrs. Tai may have not woken up from her afternoon nap at the moment, so I'm afraid she will have to wait a while."

Yan Yibai hurriedly said, "Yes, I don't dare to be disrespectful to greet my grandmother." As soon as the words fell to the ground, she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, looked up at Mrs. Dong and said, "Second Aunt, I have something to say. I want to tell you, Husband asked me to let you know, don't talk hard with grandma, he knows what the second uncle thinks, and will help to deal with it."

Mrs. Dong Er smiled, "How can our affairs make my eldest nephew feel wronged in front of my eldest brother and sister-in-law? I know your thoughts, so don't worry."

Hearing that Mrs. Dong couldn't listen, Yan Yibai also felt a headache. This is Mrs. Tai's yard. She didn't dare to say too much, and she didn't dare to reveal anything. She could only stand half a step behind Mrs. Dong. He lowered his voice and said: "Second Aunt, now is not a good time to mention the separation of the family. Grandma will not be willing. The husband said that when the second brother has a clue and gets the credit, it will be a matter of course. Why bother now? The harmony of the family."

Hearing these words, Madam Dong's heart paused slightly, remembering that her daughter had said the same thing before, and her son-in-law also said that when the time is right, the family will be separated.Now that the eldest nephew is saying the same thing, is there really a better way to solve this matter?When Yunji got the credit... Mrs. Dong thought about it carefully, and she suddenly realized that, yes, if Yunji got the credit, he would be promoted, and then he would have his own mansion. When the time came, he and his wife would be taken out to support him. Isn't that the same as breaking up?Those who can't show off their mountains and dews can't offend others, and everyone can keep in touch with each other in the future if they are kind.

Mrs. Dong Er felt a little complicated in her heart. Speaking of Dong Yuncheng, this child was really unsurprising, so she sighed, "It's embarrassing for the eldest nephew."

"Second Aunt, don't say that. Husband knows that Second Uncle has been wronged with you." Yan Yibai didn't dare to quarrel with her in-laws, so she could only mention this. She believed that Mrs. Dong could understand, "Husband said we For generations, the Dong family has never had any troubles due to the division of the family, and it will not happen now. We are all one family, so how can there be no spoon touching the edge of the pot? For the sake of raising your hand, your nephew and niece-in-law thank you in advance."

Yan Yibai's life in Dingguo's mansion was aggrieved, Mrs. Dong knew this, she didn't feel sorry for her many times, and when she saw the eldest lady did too much, she would stab her a few words and ask her to accept it. Don't overdo it.It's just that Yan Yibai is not her daughter-in-law after all, she can only say something when she sees it, and there is nothing else she can do.Anyway, Yan Yibai is also a smart person, the second room's share will never be wronged, and sometimes it is even thicker than when the eldest lady is in charge, and the second wife Dong knows that this is a smart person.

It's much easier to talk to smart people and do things, but it's easy to be easy, but Yan Yibai is a big man after all, but it seems that the couple also have their own thoughts in their hearts if they can talk to this point today.

They sold her a favor and gave her this favor. In the future, when Yunji really has one day, Dong Yuncheng will help the family and it will be better. Now why should I be so incompetent that I even offended my nephew and his wife? .More importantly, she thought that what her daughter said about herself would match what Yan Yibai said, so she made a decision immediately, and said with a smile: "The ones who thank you or not are all family members, I just came to give my wife Ma'am just say hello."

Yan Yibai's heart sank when he heard Mrs. Dong's second sigh, and the smile on her face relaxed a little, "Second aunt is generous and blessed, and the second brother is capable. The second sister is at her husband's house. It is also precious, and this day is bound to be booming and rising every step of the way."

She is really a person who can talk, after all, she came from a scholar family, and the words she said made people feel comfortable, so Mrs. Dong smiled at her and didn't say anything more.

Cui's mother came out at this time, and when she saw Yan Yibai, she smiled and saluted. Yan Yibai hurriedly helped Cui's mother up, "Come to say hello to grandma, and I just met my second aunt. If grandma is not free right now, I'll come back later."

Cui's mother had a very good impression of this young lady, she knew how to advance and retreat, understood the rules, and she spoke nicely, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Young lady, go and do your work first, and I will answer for you, Mrs. Tai."

Yan Yibai knew that it was Mrs. Tai who wanted to talk privately with Mrs. Dong Er, so he naturally didn't want to listen in, so he thanked Cui Mama with a smile, said goodbye to Mrs. Dong Er, and then went out.

Back in her own yard, the nanny was holding brother Xi in circles in the yard. As soon as she saw her coming back, the little guy stretched out his arms for her to hug.Yan Yibai hugged his son for a while, then let the nurse continue to play in the yard with him in his arms, and went into the inner room by himself, and sure enough, he saw her husband waiting for her.She walked over quickly, Dong Yuncheng put down the book in his hand, looked at her and said, "Did you see Second Aunt?"

Yan Yibai nodded, and sighed first while sitting opposite Dong Yuncheng, "Second Uncle is still kneeling outside the courtyard gate. When I went in, I saw that Second Aunt didn't look very well, but Second Aunt still agreed."

In fact, Yan Yibai himself was quite complicated. When he was able to marry into such an honorable family as Duke Dingguo, he did not know how many little sisters he envied. Everyone said that she was blessed. The carp leaps over the dragon gate.But only after entering this door can one know what a big family is, what a life is, and what a daughter-in-law is.

At the beginning, she still felt that the second room could just rely on the eldest room to live in Dingguo's mansion, without any effort, without being an official, she could be rich and unparalleled.Especially the second aunt's temper, even the mother-in-law had to give way, and she felt even more envious.But looking at it in the past few years, she feels that the second room is really pitiful, and the external glory is for others to see, but only those who can see clearly can understand whether this life is bitter or sweet.

Dong Yuncheng nodded, seeing his daughter-in-law's expression was not very good, and asked, "Uncomfortable?"

Yan Yibai squeezed out a smile, and shook his head lightly, "No, it's just...it's not easy to look at Second Aunt..." She felt a little pitiful, she couldn't say that, if she pitied Second Aunt, her mother-in-law would be heinous .How can you say such things in front of your husband? It's not that your brain is broken.

Dong Yuncheng didn't speak for a while, turned his head and looked out the window, his son was clinging to the nanny's arms, pointing at the things in the yard and kept turning around, this child is not restless, he can't stay in the house, a little bit of his father's No composure.Looking at Dong Yuncheng, he suddenly laughed, turned his head to look at Yan Yibai and said, "Grandmother is not easy. Grandfather left early. She has to support the whole family, so her character is inevitably decisive. Daddy is in his position and will do it for you." The family should think more, and the mother will worry more about the girl, so you should take care of it when you are in the middle."

"Look at what you said, it's my duty to serve my grandmother and honor my mother-in-law." Yan Yibai laughed. If the husband can understand her difficulties, he won't feel bitter. I'm afraid that a man will think that he should take these things for granted. Yes, then there is no place to complain about grievances.

Thinking of this, I heard my husband say again: "Second Uncle's temperament has been cultivated since childhood." He couldn't say that his grandmother and his father deliberately reared him, but he could only say it implicitly, "Second Aunt is the only one in Bei'an Hou Mansion. Daughter, a daughter with a temper like Marquis Bei'an's naturally has a stronger temper, but Second Aunt is hard-spoken and soft-hearted."

Yan Yibai nodded, and she also felt that she would look at Second Aunt as a very difficult person to get along with at first.His speech is particularly piercing, his eyes are sharp, and his actions are never sloppy.When she first started to manage the housework with her mother-in-law, she was very worried about the affairs of the second room, for fear that something might go wrong and offend the second aunt. Sending her over, Second Aunt would never make trouble for her. After getting along for a long time, I realized that Second Aunt is actually a pretty good person, but she is too beautiful and arrogant, and she is not easy to get along with at first glance.

Thinking of this, Yan Yibai looked at her husband and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really agree with the separation of the second uncle's family?"

Seeing his wife's uneasy look, Dong Yuncheng said, "The advantages of separating the second uncle's family outweigh the disadvantages. The Dong family wants to keep it safe. This is also a way out." In fact, the emperor pointed out the two daughters of the Dong family to the Prince Ning and Prince Jing didn't have good intentions, especially when Dong Wan became a side concubine and Hui Yu became a concubine. The conflict had taken root from the very beginning, but at that time the Dong family was very united and no one paid attention. Things can be solved.But the unity of the Dong family is above the interests of the Second Household. In the past, even if something happened to the weak Second Household, his father would be able to suppress it, not to mention the grandmother.But now that Erfang has Huiyu as the main concubine, and Yunji is gradually showing his edge, things will become different.

This is the first time for Dong Yuncheng to feel the emperor's means from his own body. He only feels that the hairs on the roots can stand on end, and the spine is all hairy.

Inadvertently, the emperor dismantled the Dong family, which had never been alienated among the four major families. When he thought about it, it was too late.

Dong Yuncheng even sometimes wondered whether the emperor's intention to alienate the Dong family was part of Prince Jing's promotion. Otherwise, Prince Jing would have no rights and the Dong family would be as stable as a mountain.But when Prince Jing got up, the Dong family could no longer be stable.There is also the Marquis of Bei'an, Dong Yuncheng really admires him, the old fox of Bei'an Hou really knows the emperor's heart, if the emperor wanted to attack the Dong family, he took his second brother away from the Dong family in advance, and taught him at the border After a few years, sending it back to the emperor was a sharp sword that was swung at the southern officialdom.At the beginning, she agreed with the second aunt, mother and daughter to go to the border for refuge, but it turned out that the second sister sacrificed her life to save Prince Jing, which eventually led to this marriage, and the second sister became the concubine Jing Jing praised by everyone.If it weren't for the impossibility, he would even think about it. As soon as the second aunt and daughter left, Prince Jing went to the border to reward the soldiers. This was all discussed between the emperor and the Marquis of Bei'an.But this point is really ridiculous, but I have to admit that due to chance, the Dong family is still deeply involved.

But after a few years of work, what has become of the Dong family now, Dong Yuncheng knows that if this continues, the Dong family will fall apart like the other three aristocratic families.If the result is really like this, then it is better to let the second uncle's family live alone as they wish before the matter happens.In this way, the two families will not really be at a standstill, and they will still be able to meet happily in the future, and they will still be a close family. Some grievances and grievances will gradually fade away from the distance, but they will always be under the same roof. I can't forget it even if I want to.

Yan Yibai looked at her husband's serious expression, but thought carefully about what he meant by these words.But she didn't know these hidden things about the Dong family, so she couldn't think of a clue for a while.But since her husband said it's good to split up, she thinks it's good to split up. After all, they've been married for so many years, and she hasn't seen him do a single thing wrong, and her trust in him has skyrocketed.What's more, speaking of it, he was really nice to her, at least the concubine's concubine husband who was brought in by her mother-in-law rarely went to see them, so what could she be dissatisfied with.It's just that there is Aunt Liang who was once very favored by her mother-in-law. The relationship between Aunt Liang and her mother-in-law was really harmonious when she first entered the door, but now that the husband of the third younger sister is working for King Jing, the relationship between her mother-in-law and Aunt Liang is different. It becomes subtler.At least when she first entered the door, Aunt Liang didn't take the initiative to compete for favor, she looked away, but now she is packing up again, I have to say that Aunt Liang really understands her father-in-law, and now Aunt Liang is starting to be favored again, mother-in-law calls her The situation is at odds.

But the mother-in-law's focus on Aunt Liang finally gave her a breath of relief, otherwise it would be too hard to just focus on her, so now she doesn't underestimate Aunt Liang in private. Sometimes I will add some extra, and Aunt Liang will be able to relax a little when she is well, who would not want to.

She didn't dare to let her husband know about this small thought, after all, it was considered unfilial.

"I'll pay more attention to the second aunt's side, so don't worry." All Yan Yibai can do is to comfort the second aunt's side for him, and just stop making trouble before that.

"Thank you for your hard work." Dong Yuncheng also knows that the eldest daughter-in-law is hard to do, and he also knows that his mother is making things difficult, but one side is his mother and the other is his wife. If he must be wronged, it must be his own wife. At this time, he feels sorry for her. , I can only make up for it by treating her better in private.

Yan Yibai lowered his eyes and smiled, "Everything that is hard work should be done. It's not easy for you outside, so how can you worry about things at home." Speaking of this, another thing came to mind, Looking up at her husband, she thought carefully before saying: "Prince Ping's full moon this time, Princess Jing hasn't gone yet, and my mother-in-law is not very happy to see it, what should I do about it?"

Her mother-in-law is unhappy, and she has to be careful these few days, for fear of being filled with cannon fodder.But it's not an option to hide all the time, so I can only test my husband's intentions first, so that she can know what to do.

"I will explain this matter to my mother. The second uncle's matter comes first, and Brother Ping's matter comes later. There must be an explanation." Dong Yuncheng pinched his brows. There are too many things recently, which is really exhausting. .

"Then when you talk to your mother-in-law, don't speak out in such a daze." Yan Yibai knows her husband's temper, and often speaks without turning corners, which is quite hurtful. She cried a few times when he was angry, and then she found out As far as his temperament is concerned, he is actually not bad-hearted, but he speaks too straightforwardly. Later, he took it easy. Anyway, he can say ten meanings in one sentence, and he can keep crying, which is very tiring.

Dong Yuncheng just nodded, he can't be too tactful when talking to his mother, otherwise he will hit you if he gets entangled, so it's better to be more direct.But I won't tell my daughter-in-law about this, so that she won't nag me again.

At the same time, Prince Jing's mansion was not peaceful.

Huiyu looked at the little girl standing in the hall, she was dressed in plain clothes, with a small white flower on her temples, the eyes on her oval face were really graceful like running water, her eyebrows were like Qingdai, her waist was like a thin willow, and her mouth was small like a cherry. A little worry, without saying a word, there will be three points of romance pouring out.Even Huiyu looked at it and felt that this girl was really a big white lotus from Aunt Qiong's family!

What Huiyu hates the most in her life is this little white lotus, a false virgin, who pretends to be weak, with sad eyes, and a tear that tears the world down.

"Miss Yue?" Huiyu said, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

"Yes." Yue Shuiqing shrank back as if frightened, and responded with a humming sound.

Seeing her behavior, Hui Yu Sensen's egg hurts!She's not a tigress, but she can scare you like this just by asking a question?

The girl in front of her claimed her surname was Yue, and she came from Wensi Lane, Qingshi Bridge, Suiye City. She said she was Ji Qiyu's cousin, and she brought a jade dragon pendant as a token to join her relatives.To be honest, Huiyu really didn't get any information about her birth mother's family from Ji Qiyu, and it wasn't mentioned in the original text, at least the author didn't mention it before abandoning the pit, and she didn't know whether she would be mentioned later. Know.However, it is actually a bit suspicious. It is said that Fang Jieyu was once favored in the palace, but she died without a sound. It was still a topic that could not be brought up in the palace. Prince Jing was not welcomed by the emperor. In short, everything about Fang Jieyu seems to be a taboo, which makes Huiyu feel a little strange.But since marrying him, no one from her natal family has ever come to her door. Ji Qiyu didn't mention Huiyu, so naturally she wouldn't be stupid to ask, but now that her natal family came to her door, Huiyu couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, looking at the color, carver, and texture, this is a top-quality jade pendant.Looking at the clothes on Yue Shuiqing's body, he definitely did not come from a wealthy family, and he must have lived a poor life before.The value of this jade pendant is somewhat different from Yue Shuiqing's dress and behavior. It can only be said that this jade pendant is probably the object that Fang Jieyu gave to her natal family back then, so it is brought back as a token now.

This girl seemed to have too much defense against her, except for taking out this jade pendant, saying that she is Prince Jing's cousin, and where she came from, she refused to say anything else.As if he was some heinous bastard, he could swallow her alive in the blink of an eye. I have to say that Huiyu really didn't like this feeling.

But in any text, a creature like a cousin is extremely painful and aching all over.

Xue Runiang, who came from Dong's family, had taken the original owner seriously in her previous life. In this life, Huiyu coaxed, lied and treated her sincerely, which is why she has the affection she has now.Now there is another Yue Shuiqing, could it be possible that he has offended a star like his cousin after time travelling?

What a headache.

"Sit down, I have sent a letter to the prince, and I think the prince will be back soon." Before Huiyu figured out what was going on, she could only fool around with her.

"Thank you, Princess." Yue Shuiqing glanced at Huiyu cautiously, and then sat down with a slanted body.

Watching her movements, Huiyu really had the urge to roll her eyes, as if she was a jackal.

Yue Shuiqing kept her head down and refused to say a word, and Huiyu didn't want to be annoying. Suddenly, such a lovely and beautiful cousin popped up, and it would be shocking to put it in anyone's house.

Cousins ​​and cousins ​​are kissing each other, this is no joke.

This girl came to Beijing alone, and there should be no one in the family to rely on. A cousin who is as delicate as duckweed came to seek refuge. She is also good-looking and pitiful. Her eyes seem to be able to talk. She is a man. You can't turn a blind eye either.

Huiyu felt that this was the most important test for Ji Qiyu.The others are like side concubines, they are all scum in front of my cousin.The important thing is that this cousin is already completely helpless, and Ji Qiyu has the responsibility to take care of her, otherwise, others will say that he is heartless and ungrateful.

The point is, for such a delicate little girl to enter Beijing alone, is she really a little white flower with the guts?
Huiyu felt that this Yue Shuiqing was not simple, so she couldn't help but look down at the jade dragon pendant on the table, feeling very hot for a while.
