"Madam, the young lady is back from the palace." The old housekeeper came to Jiang Ruyan respectfully, and a sincere smile finally appeared on her face.
Liu Chengyu only had disgust for her, how could Jiang Ruyan not know this.
However, she chose to stay in the Hou Mansion because she couldn't let go of the friendship between the two. It was just that she was getting older and couldn't let go of her children.
Nowadays, she likes to prick Liu Chengyu's heart from time to time, watching him look unhappy but not afraid to get angry.
Jiang Ruyan felt more and more that she was so stupid to have fallen in love with such a villain.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it.
As long as her children can grow up and become talents, no matter how much Liu Chengyu despises her, he must coax her in a good voice. It makes me happy just thinking about it!
"Xin'er, come and tell mother, what did grandma teach you today?"
Jiang Ruyan couldn't wait to pull the bejeweled Liu Wenxin to her side, and saw that the little girl was extremely happy, "Mom, look, this is what Concubine Xue gave to Xin'er!"
She shook a pair of gold bracelets on her wrists, her eyes filled with light.
"The empress also said that she would ask the palace to make some beautiful clothes for Xin'er. Once she learns the neon dress dance, she can dance to the emperor!"
What, neon dance?
The smile on Jiang Ruyan's face froze. Looking at Liu Wenxin's obviously childish face, but the makeup was getting thicker and thicker, that uneasy feeling came to her heart again.
"Xin'er, otherwise we'd better not enter the palace. Now that your uncle is in the spotlight, ask him to find a promising military commander's family for you. After you marry, you will definitely be freer than in the palace."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Wenxin threw away Jiang Ruyan's hand impatiently, "Does mother think she is free? Even the Marquis Mansion can't make people live happily, so what place can be better than the palace?"
During this period, she saw a lot of extravagance and splendor in the palace, and she felt more and more that the Marquis Mansion where she lived was really miserable.
Jiang Ruyan was afraid that she would make her daughter unhappy again. She finally coaxed the two children to forget everything in the past and start over, but now she became more and more cautious.
"But you are still young, so that neon dance is a bit indecent..."
She's not a despicable dancer. How could her daughter dance such an unworthy dance?
"Why is it indecent? The beauties in the palace are all trying to please the emperor like this. Mother has never seen the world!" Liu Wenxin snorted coldly, "If Xin'er grows up and becomes old and yellow, how can your majesty look at Xin'er more? ?”
Jiang Ruyan was speechless after a few words. She couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her face. Liu Wenxin's words brought back the inferiority complex that she tried hard to ignore.
No woman doesn't care about her appearance, and her daughter's words are not unreasonable.
If you enter the palace at a young age, you can gain a few more years of beauty and honor.
"But Concubine Xue is in trouble now, can she really help you?"
Everyone knows that because of Princess Yinghua's incident, Concubine Xue is doomed in the palace, but it is not luck that she is favored.
Not long ago, she actually used several young dancers from the north to make Emperor Dongling Longxin happy again. Not only did she withdraw her ban, but she also frequently visited Concubine Xue's palace, neglecting the other concubines.
Such a change makes many people see it as unrealistic and secretly feel it is absurd.
"My mother didn't see it. The emperor talked and laughed with Concubine Xue every time he came. There was no quarrel at all like the rumors outside. The empress also promised that she would introduce Xin'er to your majesty, and there was no need to repay the favor like others. Gotta go through the draft.”
Liu Wenxin was extremely proud, "My queen likes Xin'er so much. She said that Xin'er reminds her of Princess Yinghua when she was a child."
Say she looks like Princess Yinghua?
Jiang Ruyan suddenly sobered up a lot. Because of Xia Yunxian's departure, the previous nanny was no longer willing to teach Liu Wenxin, so she went through all the hard work to find another one, planning to follow her daughter first.
Who would have thought that Liu Wenxin would bump into Concubine Xue by accident, and she would take her with her at a glance.
Jiang Ruyan thought her daughter was lovable, and was overjoyed at first, but Concubine Xue was too interested in Liu Wenxin. She not only asked her nanny to teach her the rules, but also rewarded her with gold, silver, and jewelry every three days.
What will happen to Princess Yinghua?
According to Liu Chengyu, she was tortured to death by Tuoba Zheng as soon as she arrived in Xiliang!
Moreover, the death was so miserable that it even frightened a palace maid who was married to him crazy!
Perhaps because this incident aroused public anger, a whirlwind suddenly set off in Xiliang to condemn Tuoba Zheng's cruelty, and the civil strife became more intense. Tuoba Zheng also sent a letter asking for help, asking the emperor to send a force to Xiliang to help him.
He tortured a Dongling princess to death and still had the nerve to ask for help.
Emperor Dongling naturally did not respond. Perhaps Yinghua's fate was too miserable, so the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Xue was not as indifferent as before.
"Xin'er, please don't mention this in front of outsiders in the future!" How can such a good thing happen in the world? Do you still expect Concubine Xue to love Xin'er as a substitute for a princess?
Unexpectedly, Liu Wenxin took a few steps back in displeasure, avoiding Jiang Ruyan's touch.
"Mother, you have become so strange and timid, like a rat crossing the street!"
What? !
Jiang Ruyan's pupils shrank, but before she could feel heartbroken, Liu Wenxin added, "Mom, it's better to worry about my brother. I heard that he plays with those playboys in the academy all day long, and was even taken to the Fireworks Restaurant!"
"Who told you? Xin'er, come back..." Before Jiang Ruyan could ask clearly, the little girl had already turned around and ran away.
Her heart was already touched by the news, and she immediately called the housekeeper, "Is what the young lady said true? Did the young master go to a place like that?"
How old is Liu Wenyao, how can he enter such a place?
I went to see him in the yard two days ago and was kicked out. But he said that he had to study poetry and books and told him not to disturb him on weekdays.
Jiang Ruyan was relieved. She felt that her child was finally sensible and knew that she had to study hard to get a good future, so she really didn't dare to go to his yard to be an eyesore.
The old butler's eyes flickered and hesitantly replied, "The young master came back very late last night, and he seems to really smell of alcohol..."
The voice became softer and softer, and Jiang Ruyan suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Not caring about anything else, she hurried towards Liu Wenyao's yard. The house was lit with candles. If it were normal, she would not go in and disturb him.
There was a bang, the door of the room was pushed open, and the little book boy who was napping at the table suddenly jumped up in fright.
When he saw the visitor's gloomy expression, his legs immediately softened, "Husband, madam, it was the young master who asked me to do this. Please forgive me, madam, please spare my life!"
Jiang Ruyan laughed angrily and saw that the book boy was still wearing Liu Wenyao's clothes, "Is this how you usually deceive me?"
She thought that the child was studying at night, and she was afraid that he would work too hard, so she ordered people to send ginseng and bird's nests to him all day long to replenish his health!
It turns out that the joke is actually her!
