An Qien smiled warmly and left without saying anything else.
Shen Shuli was messed up in the wind. What did An Qien mean when he told her she couldn't give birth? She suddenly remembered that the last time she went to Mrs. Qiao to complain, An Qien rewarded her with three plates of fat pork.
She couldn't help but laugh at the thought of that fat pork, so this time it was definitely a trap, and she wouldn't fall for it easily.
As the saying goes, if anything goes wrong, there will be a monster, so she must be cautious.
An Qi'en was not in a hurry to go back, so he just walked around the house.
Qingbi suppressed a smile and said, "Madam, Aunt Shen, I'm afraid my mind is broken and I can't figure out why you said that?"
Bai Lu: "That's right, she may think this is a trap, but she doesn't dare to go to the old lady to complain."
A beautiful smile appeared on An Qien's pink lips: "Then let her think slowly. It's her business to figure it out."
...
Spring is here, the season of revival.
An Qien went to visit Mrs. Liu.
Madam Liu entertained her warmly, and the two chatted about home affairs while eating wine.
"How are you doing in the Hou Mansion?" Madam Liu put down her crescent cup and looked at An Qien and asked.
She had heard some rumors. In just one year, Qiao Jianghong had three concubines.
Unavoidably, I felt a little worried about her, an old friend.
An Qien smiled knowingly: "It's okay."
She knew what Mrs. Liu was worried about. The two were close friends, so she truthfully told her plan and divorce.
Although Madam Liu was shocked, she also understood her. The prince of the Hou family was indeed not worthy of such an outstanding old friend of hers.
But reconciliation is not a simple matter, she said worriedly: "This is not only a matter for the clansmen of Hou Mansion and An Mansion, but more importantly for Your Majesty, granting a marriage is the final word. Since ancient times, there has been basically no one who can reconcile with divorce. ."
An Qi'en naturally knew this truth, but no matter how difficult it was, she had to reconcile. She pretended to be relaxed and said: "In this world, there are few simple and easy things. Is reconciliation difficult or not? But if something happens, It works out.”
Madam Liu put her fair hand with gold and diamond nails on An Qien's hand with pink and diamond nails and said, "My sister is the queen, I'll ask her to talk it through to you."
An Qi'en shook his head: "You treat me well, I know that. The marriage between me and the prince is not a matter of family feud, but it is related to the court. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the empress cannot be implicated. She has gone through many hardships to reach this point. That’s a lot of trouble.”
Madam Liu sighed softly and said regretfully: "If your father hadn't said that, you wouldn't have married into the Marquis Mansion, and you wouldn't have tried so hard to escape."
An Qien smiled faintly: "Being with a king is like being with a tiger. My father didn't mean to say anything, and my marriage with my sister has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now that things have come to this, I can only think about the future."
Originally, An Qien and An Weinuan were both waiting to be married, and the daughter of a third-rank official like An Zhengyuan must have a good marriage.
But during that time, An Zhengyuan was closer to Prince Taifeng, who had treasonous intentions. There were rumors that both daughters of the An family could marry into Prince Taifeng's palace.
If the two daughters of the An family were to marry, it would definitely strengthen King Taifeng's power.
It happened that something happened in the Hou Mansion, and Emperor Changshun ordered An Zhengyuan to marry a daughter. An Zhengyuan had been frightened for a long time. He had never had any thoughts of rebellion. He was afraid of affecting his other daughter, so he announced to the outside world that An Weinuan had already decided to marry him. Got married.
In the end, An Weinuan married the Liu family, a big businessman, which was considered a close match.
Liu Niang was hesitant thinking about this matter. Her queen sister really couldn't speak for An Qien.
An Qien smiled slightly and touched her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a way. From now on, I will be just like you, free to do what I like."
Madam Liu gave her a doting look: "Don't imitate me. It's not that I don't want to get married, but I want to choose someone to live with for the rest of my life. It's just that it's too difficult."
The two looked at each other and smiled, enjoying the meal with great joy.
An Qien came in the morning and returned home in the evening. When she left, Madam Liu gave her many herbs, spices, rouge, gouache, aromatherapy, etc.
Some of these things were rewarded by the Empress, and there were plenty of them in her palace. An Qien liked to play with trinkets, so Empress Liu gave some away as she liked.
In addition to these, I also gave An Qien two fine Shu brocade clothes.
Before getting on the carriage, An Qi'en held Madam Liu's hand and asked with a smile: "My natal mother likes the sachets you made. If you have time in a few days, would you like to come back to An's house with me?" ?”
Madam Liu didn't think much about it, she thought it was appropriate to go to her old friend's house to recognize her. She smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll give Auntie a gift in advance."
"Then it's settled, I'm leaving."
Madam Liu raised her hands happily.
An Qien got into the carriage with Qingbi's help.
Returning to Anfu, I met Qiao Jiangru at Erdaomen.
He cupped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law."
While he was talking, he had already caught a glimpse of the clothes, spices, rouge and gouache in Qingbi and Bailu's hands, and other things given by Madam Liu.
The air is also filled with a delicious fragrance.
An Qien nodded slightly.
Qiao Jiangru said gently: "Sister-in-law, it seems that I have gained a lot today."
An Qi'en smiled slightly and broke the topic: "Are you going out?"
"Well, just take a stroll."
He is an idler, why not go shopping?
An Qi'en didn't say anything, just smiled lightly and left with the two maids.
Qiao Jiangru didn't go out anymore, so he turned around and went to Anhe Hall.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Anhe Hall, he saw Liang Wanru coming out of it.
"Second Young Master."
Liang Wanru kneeled down to greet him.
"Aunt Liang."
The two people passed each other with polite greetings.
Mrs. Qiao was in a good mood, and she suppressed the smile on her face when she saw Qiao Jiangru coming over.
"grandmother."
"Why are you here now?" Mrs. Qiao asked with a normal expression as she took a sip of tea.
Qiao Jiangru said bluntly: "My grandson just saw that my sister-in-law came back from Mrs. Liu's house and brought a lot of things."
"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Qiao interrupted him and asked directly about the purpose.
Qiao Jiangru would only come to her when he had something to do, and usually he would not be there to serve her.
Qiao Jiangru said: "Mrs. Liu is not young anymore. My grandson wants to..."
"You think so, but you have forgotten your identity again!" Mr. Qiao poured cold water on her without mercy.
Qiao Jiangru said without changing her expression: "My grandson, I know, it's okay if my grandson just wants to try it. If this thing comes to pass, it will be a good thing for the Hou Mansion. Madam Liu's biological sister is the current queen. If she comes to the Hou Mansion, Now, then the life of the Marquis Mansion will definitely be at its peak."
Mr. Qiao snorted and smiled sarcastically: "Not to mention you, even Jiang Hong and Mrs. Liu look down on her."
"My grandson, I know that I am not as good as my elder brother, and I also know that the chances of doing this are slim. But my grandson knows one thing, what you plan is determined by God, and what is accomplished depends on people."
