The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

In Shengjing City, there has always been a folk saying.

The north is expensive and the south is rich, and the east is rich and the west is rich.

It is said that the people living in the north are rich and powerful, while the south is mostly affluent urban areas.

The east is dominated by merchants doing business, while the northwest is mostly populated by artisans and common people.

Therefore, the Dong family, who has settled down in Shengjing City for several generations, has a house in Nafang City, which is located in the southeast.

Three streets and six alleys, it is a rule to divide the city.

Among them, the place where Dong's family is located has a good name, Dengwen Street.

The streets are full of vendors going to the market and shop assistants shouting.

Although not to the point of one after another, it is also very lively.

Dong's house is at the intersection of Dengwen Street.

From the outside, it doesn't look that big.

If you don't look carefully, you may think it's just an ordinary residential courtyard.

But there is something hidden inside.

It is a three-entry courtyard with east and west courtyards.

Small bridges and flowing water, simple and elegant.

Although it is a family of merchants, there is no aura of sudden wealth.

Instead, there are green pines and cypresses, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums that many literati and elegant guests like.

The pleasant scenery seems to have moved a Jiangnan garden at home.

The eldest lady Dong's carriage stopped at the door, and the maids Chanjuan and Sujuan helped her get off the carriage.

Seeing that the third girl from the family had come back, the guard at the door immediately stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

"My little one, please greet Grandma Sangu. Why is Grandma Sangu coming back?"

"Master, where are they? Are they all at home?"

"Yes, but the uncle and second grandfather and second grandmother are not at home."

The eldest lady Dong thought about it, and immediately gave instructions to the boy.

"Go, invite them back, and say that I have something important to discuss with them, hurry up, you know?"

Seeing the expression on the eldest lady Dong's expression, the boy was a little serious.

So he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately got up and said.

"Don't worry, grandma Sangu, the little one will go right away!"

After finishing speaking, he trotted towards Dong's medical center.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Dong, walked into Dong's house by herself, and went straight to the main courtyard where her parents were.

There is no time to take care of the beautiful scenery along the way, but unexpectedly, he meets his sister-in-law Wang Shi on the way.

This sister-in-law's natal family and their Dong family are good friends for generations, so since she married in.

The whole family lived happily.

I saw her slender figure and well-maintained.

Although she is a business woman, she does not have the habit of wearing gold and silver.

Instead, I like to use jade and pearls.

Under the sun, the mutton fat white jade bracelet hanging on her wrist is warm and delicate, it is the Dong family heirloom.

There are three in total.

The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the girl Dong Qinzhen (the eldest wife Dong Shi) all have it.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law Wang, the eldest wife Dong immediately stepped forward.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang also looked at Mrs. Dong with a puzzled face, she asked curiously.

"Why did the third sister come back suddenly? I didn't say hello, so I sent someone to meet you at the door."

"Sister-in-law, I came in a hurry, so I didn't tell you in advance."

"What's going on here?"

"A letter came from the palace, saying that I will be able to enter the palace to see Qianqian in two days."

"Really?"

The elder sister-in-law Wang's face was also full of surprises. For the little girl Lin Wanyi, the whole family liked it very much.

When they first heard the news that she was going to enter the palace, everyone was unhappy.

Originally thought that the entrance to the palace was as deep as the sea, and I was afraid that I would never have a relationship with my family in this life.

Unexpectedly, they could enter the palace so soon to meet each other.

So he quickened his pace a little bit, and walked quickly towards the main courtyard with his wife, Mrs. Dong.

In the main courtyard, there is exquisiteness everywhere.

This kind of delicacy does not lie in carved beams and painted buildings, but in carefully cultivated flowers and trees.

Many of them are well-known varieties brought from the south of the Yangtze River, especially the Podocarpus pine, also known as Qianqian pine, which is placed symmetrically on the left and right sides, and it is so beautiful.

One of the two elders of the Dong family is practicing calligraphy, and the other is tidying up silk threads.

If there are no outsiders to disturb, it will be a quiet time.

"Daughter-in-law to father-in-law, mother-in-law to greet, third sister is here."

The old man and his wife of the Dong family raised their heads when they heard the eldest daughter-in-law Wang speak.

When she saw her daughter appearing suddenly, she was also full of doubts.

I thought something was wrong.

Putting down what she was doing immediately, Mrs. Dong hurried over and asked.

"What's going on? Those people from your husband's family are making things difficult for you again?"

The eldest lady Dong smiled wryly.

Then he explained immediately.

"No, there's news from the palace that I can go into the palace to meet Qianqian, so I rushed here to announce the good news to the second elder."

After knowing her reason for coming, the second elder relaxed.

"Oh, it's scary, I thought something happened to you again!"

It was Mrs. Dong who was speaking. She patted her chest with her hands to comfort herself.

There is also some doting blame in the expression.

The old man Dong who was standing beside him didn't speak, but he looked at his daughter with affection.

Mrs. Dong is now in his 60s, but his body is very strong and strong.

Neither potbellied nor senile.

Look carefully at the eyebrows, eyes and facial features, he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

So when I am old, I don't see the turbidity.

And Mrs. Dong beside him was well maintained.

Probably because of the love of the husband and son-in-law and the filial piety of the children, so the whole life is peaceful and smooth.

The body is slightly fat, but this is indeed a good fortune in the eyes of outsiders.

I saw that my parents are in good health and in a good mood.

Dong thought about it, and then spoke.

"My daughter came here this time, one is to announce the good news, and the other is to let my parents think of a way to let me bring some prescriptions in."

"prescription?"

"What's the use? But Qianqian is in trouble?"

Old Mrs. Dong deserves to be known for his subtlety. His own daughter just made the first sentence, and he guessed it roughly.

Seeing that Da Furen Dong's face turned from happy to worried, she said.

"Before I was afraid that my parents would be worried, so my daughter didn't say anything. When He Song participated in the dragon boat race, she came back and said that Qianqian's foot was injured, and when the master was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace a few days ago, he was told that Qianqian had been poisoned. things, so..."

Mrs. Dong hadn't finished her words when Mrs. Dong's body collapsed.

If it weren't for the old Mrs. Dong next to him with quick eyesight and quick hands, I'm afraid he would fall to the ground.

Mrs. Dong took Dong's hand and asked anxiously.

"How? How?"

They are outside, although they know that life in the palace is difficult.

But I didn't expect such a big trouble.

Injuried?

Poisoned!

It's just unbelievable.

The Dong family has always had a strict family style.

There is no talk of taking concubines, and no unworthy descendants.

Therefore, the family lived in harmony and the relatives helped for many years.

Every time they mentioned the suppression of the eldest family of the Lin family, they would sigh for many days.

Who knew that his beloved granddaughter would live a bloody life after entering the palace, which really made everyone in the Dong family worry badly.
