Yun Chu sat in the flower hall and raised his eyes to look at Xie Ping who walked in from the door.
Three days after her marriage, Xie Ping returned home, but she did not return home. She knew at a casual thought that it must be Prince Anjing who did not want to accompany him back home. I also found an excuse for not coming back.
Now, Xie Ping has been married for more than half a month, and she looks much calmer than before she left the cabinet.
"I've met the princess."
Yunchu stood up and saluted.
"Mom, please get up quickly." Xie Ping hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped Yun Chu up. "I became a princess all because of my mother. If my mother still salutes me, how will I deal with it?"
She said this, but she felt a secret sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Look, the eldest daughter of the Yipin General Mansion, her aunt, is now saluting her, which shows how noble her status is.
She was just embarrassed in front of Concubine De and Prince Anjing, but the Queen would still give her face. As for the others, it was too late to flatter her, so how could they deliberately prevent her from getting off the stage?
Yunchu naturally felt her secret emotions.
"Ping'er looks very good and seems to be doing well in the palace." Yun Chu said with a faint smile on his face, "Concubine Shi is a little older than you. It's normal for the prince to call her to stay with her. You must not be jealous."
She rescued Du Ling's sister Du Ying from Prince Anjing's palace, but she didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Shi family would become a concubine.
In her previous life, the eldest lady of the Shi family was married to a sixty-year-old man as the fourth concubine by the mistress of the Shi family. Only three months after Miss Shi's marriage, the old man passed away and died, leaving behind a large number of children. , and drove Miss Shi out directly.
The Shi family thought their daughter was embarrassing and broke off the relationship directly.
If it were any other charming young lady, she would definitely be humiliated and die.
But Miss Shi sold the small amount of dowry thrown out by the Shi family. It is said that she sold it for only three taels of silver. Then she rented a shabby house and started doing some work to make a living...
Later, Miss Shi opened a teahouse, and her life was prosperous... She liked drinking tea, and specifically asked Tingxue to go to Miss Shi's shop to buy tea every few days, so she heard some things about Shi Miss's business.
If Miss Shi was implicated in King Anjing's death because of her calculations in this life, she would not be able to rest at ease.
The only breakthrough point is - after King Anjing's incident, more than a dozen concubines in his backyard were let go, because most of them were girls from good families who were snatched away. If Shi Fangfei was allowed to become a concubine, Maybe there is a way to survive.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu continued: "Prince Anjing is old but has no children. Concubine De will definitely let Concubine Shi conceive a child as soon as possible. Concubine De is not targeting you. You must not have any grudges in your heart. Remember this. ?"
Xie Ping pursed her lips.
My mother was so smart that she knew Concubine De's plan without ever meeting her.
A few days before the wedding, Concubine De arranged for the nuns in the palace to come every day to deliver various medicines to Concubine Shi, saying that taking them would help her win a man in one fell swoop.
She is the serious Princess Anjing, and she must not allow anyone to conceive the prince's heir before her.
She lowered her eyelids and said, "Mother doesn't know yet, but Concubine Shi has been demoted to a concubine. She wrote something contemptuous of Concubine De in the house, and the prince didn't like it..."
Yun Chu pointed his fingers.
She also wanted to deliberately provoke Xie Ping into taking action, but she didn't expect that Xie Ping couldn't hold it in any longer. Not long after their wedding, Concubine Shi was tricked.
Then she doesn't need to waste any more words.
Seeing that Yunchu didn't speak, Xie Ping felt a little worried. She quickly changed the subject: "Mother, I came back this time to tell my mother good news. Every autumn, the emperor arranges a hunt. This year, it will be on September 2nd. On November, three people can go to the palace, and I will give the extra post to my mother."
Yunchu took the post and took a look. Sure enough, it was the palace's annual hunt.
In the previous life, the fourth prince, Prince Anjing, had an accident on this hunting ground. From then on, Prince Anjing's palace disappeared.
She thought Xie Ping could be a good princess for a while, but she didn't expect that the hunt came so quickly, and the status of Princess Anjing was more short-lived than she imagined...
She smiled and said, "I won't go hunting. You can give this post to An Ge'er."
Just as he was talking, Xie Shi'an walked in from the door and said, "Mother, the Emperor has specially ordered all the students from the Imperial Academy to accompany you to the hunting ground. I don't need a post."
In the past, he always needed his mother's recommendation to go to high-class circles.
He is different now than before. He can rely on himself and integrate into the noble family... It doesn't matter if those people look down on him. He is valued by Mr. Guozijian, who will give him private lessons after school every day. , in the next provincial examination, he will definitely win Jieyuan, which will impress those who look down on him.
He paused and said, "The home of a first- and second-rank official allows one female family member to go there. Grandma should be there. It just so happens that the eldest sister has a post. Why don't mother take the post and go to talk to grandma."
Yun Chu twitched his lips.
She often goes back to Yun's house now, and she can see her mother anytime, so why go to the hunting ground to talk.
She knew that the two siblings just wanted to tell her that their status was different now, and they could lead her to occasions that she couldn't go to...
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Tingfeng hurried in: "Madam, someone is coming from the palace. It is the Queen who has brought Yizhi to Madam."
Xie Shi'an and Xie Ping couldn't help but look at each other, and they both followed Yun Chu to the front yard.
The eunuch who came to convey the order was a young eunuch. He said to Yun Chu respectfully: "Mrs. Xie, to convey the edict of the Queen, please go to Yanshan for hunting with the palace guard of honor on the morning of September 21st. Please also prepare some preparations." .”
Hearing this, Yunchu was a little surprised.
Because their Yun family had a palace concubine, they were unfamiliar with all the other concubines in the palace, including the queen. Why would the queen specially invite her to participate in the hunt?
However, the Queen's decree must not be disobeyed. No matter how many questions she had, she could only accept the order respectfully.
Xie Shian's fingers tightened.
I originally thought that my mother was not qualified to go on this hunt and had to rely on my eldest sister’s post to get in.
But she never expected that the queen actually sent someone to convey the decree and asked her mother to go by name. What an honor it was.
Xie Ping felt even worse.
She relied on her mother to become a princess, and also wanted her mother to participate in hunting on her own.
But my mother didn't need it at all.
She lowered her head and looked at the post in her hand. No matter how ridiculous it seemed, she threw it directly into Xie Shian's arms: "You can use it as a favor to any classmate."
If my father's health is not that bad, I can let him go, but it will be easier for outsiders.
Xie Shi'an nodded. When he was at Huaide Academy, he met many people, including some young officials. He just took the opportunity to win over them. Wouldn't they be the connections who would become officials in the court in the future?
