Donggong Zhangjiao

Liu Qin's mother Chen and his wife Qu Jingruo entered the palace on the twentieth day of the first lunar month.

As a coincidence, Liu Qin went to the palace to see Pei Yao to report his work, and his mother and wife also met Fang Yun in the harem.

Qu Jinruo was okay, but Mrs. Chen was a little nervous. After all, she was born in a poor family, and she didn't socialize much outside her son when he became successful. She also remembered that she and Fang Yun were not really blood relatives, and she was more grateful than close. This was natural. Not so comfortable anymore.

"Mom, don't be restrained. Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine is a very gentle person. Didn't your husband tell you when you came here? When we enter the palace this time, we just want to talk to you about a few common things."

Seeing Mrs. Chen's nervousness, Qu Jingruo supported her and comforted her softly.

Mrs. Chen nodded and continued, "Ruo'er, there are a lot of rules in this palace. Although you have taught me a lot, I am still afraid of doing something wrong. Can you remind me, not to mention in front of the imperial concubine? It's a joke, I'm worried that others will look at it, and I'm joking that the imperial concubine has relatives like us who don't understand the rules."

This is how a person with a pure heart always thinks of others.

Qu Jingruo smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, mother."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the palace gate, they saw Qingrong, who was sent by Fang Yun to pick them up.

Seeing Fang Yun sending the maids who were accompanying him to pick them up, Qu Jinruo also knew in her heart that this was how important the imperial concubine was to them.

When they arrived at Yuzhang Palace, Yan Wei was already waiting at the door.

"Slave, please give me my regards, young madam. Your Majesty has asked this slave to come out and see you several times, so you are really looking forward to it!"

As soon as they met, Yan Wei saluted with a smile, and with a few words, the distance between them became closer.

It was as if the Liu family was Fang Yun's mother's family.

When Mrs. Chen saw this, her nervousness eased a little. She smiled and said a few polite words, then followed Qingrong Yanwei in.

"Greetings to the noble concubine, may your concubine be blessed with peace of mind!"

When they enter the house and meet someone, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law salute together.

Fang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help them, "Get up quickly. We are talking as a family. We don't have to stick to these etiquettes. It's cold outside. My aunt and siblings came all the way here to avoid freezing. Please bring hot tea quickly."

Yan Wei responded and immediately poured two cups of hot tea.

The three of them sat down and talked while holding tea cups.

"I see that my aunt looks good. I think this person is in high spirits when happy events happen. My younger brother has a family, and his younger siblings are so filial. My aunt and uncle must be happy." Fang Yun curled his lips and said.

Mrs. Chen also nodded with a smile on her face, "Yes, the emperor and the empress must be wise and discerning. This child Ruo'er is really good at everything. I think Qin'er is not good enough!"

These words were true. Chen didn't have any deep thoughts. Seeing Fang Yun being so gentle, he let go of his guard and said what he wanted to say.

It was rare in the palace to be able to speak simply and freely. At this moment, Fang Yun really smiled happily when listening to Chen's words.

"Mother, my husband is a decent man, has outstanding talents, and is valued by the emperor. It is also very good. Mother said this, which makes me embarrassed." Qu Jingruo blushed slightly.

She is now completely satisfied with this marriage.

Her husband treats her well, her parents-in-law treat her as their own daughter, and her brother-in-law Liu Bo also respects her very much.

Fang Yun curled his lips, "Look, aunt, these young couple must have a good relationship. They blushed after saying such a thing."

"They are a good couple, and I am happy to see them. Although I haven't read any books, I heard what Bo'er said, everything will be prosperous for the family!" Mrs. Chen took Qu Jingruo's hand and patted it. Qu Jingruo also blushed and smiled.

After chatting for a while, Fang Yun asked about the matter he had entrusted to Qu Jingruo before.

"Qingrong and Yanwei have both reached the age of marriage early. They have been delayed a lot in serving me for so many years. It's time to think about their lives."

"When I came to the palace this time, I wanted to talk to my queen about this matter. Please see, my queen, these are the candidates I have picked out."

Qu Jingruo asked the maid to hand over a pamphlet.

It was done very carefully, with a simple portrait and personal information written next to it, so detailed that the family situation is clear at a glance.

Fang Yun took a look and found that there were four people in total, and they were all OK.

"Qingrong, Yanwei, come and take a look. These are the families that the young lady has shown you."

The two maids blushed. You pushed me and I pushed you. They came forward and looked through the book together.

Fang Yun was afraid that the two of them would feel uncomfortable, so he asked them to take a closer look. He was talking to Chen and Qu Jinruo here.

"Do you still remember the Young Master of the Song family?" Qu Jingruo asked, "He also graduated from high school last year. Now he has entered the Hanlin Academy as an errand and was assigned to my father. Although he was not on duty for a long time, my father I praised him twice and said that his temperament is suitable for staying in the Hanlin Academy."

This son of the Song family is Song Shuyan, Song Bin's younger brother. Because of his good relationship with Liu Qin, he is well known to the Liu family.

"That's good. Concubine Song can feel more at ease now. Speaking of which, Mr. Song has reached the age to discuss marriage." Fang Yun nodded.

Qu Jingruo pursed her lips and smiled, "I was just about to tell my wife that Mr. Song seems to be in a relationship with the third girl from the wailanglian family of the Ministry of Industry recently. They seem to be in love with each other, but..."

Halfway through, Qu Jingruo's smile faded a bit and she stopped talking.

"But what?" Fang Yun asked keenly, "But what's the problem with this Lian family?"

Qu Jingruo said, "There is nothing wrong with the Lian family, but the third girl, I heard one or two bad words when I was in my concubine, but it was a few years ago, and I don't know how it is now. I think Your Majesty has always been on good terms with Concubine Song, so I can’t comment on Mr. Song’s affairs, but my husband has a good relationship with Mr. Song, so it’s not good for me not to remind you, so I took this opportunity to talk to Concubine Song.”

After hearing this, Fang Yun nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand, I will inform Concubine Song."

The three of them talked for a while before Qingrong and Yanwei came over.

The people Qu Jingruo chose were all good, and both of them picked the ones they liked.

Qingrong picked a young catcher from Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, named Sun Zhao. He was two years younger than Qingrong. He was honest, good-looking, and had good conduct. He lived a down-to-earth life. The reason why he has not married yet is because The family is poor.

In Sun Zhao's family, his father is ill and needs to take medicine, his mother has passed away, and he has a twin brother and sister who are only fourteen years old this year.

It can be said that the whole family depends on his meager salary.

Yanwei fell in love with a guard from the city defense battalion, named Zhao Qiyun, who was the same age as Yanwei. Because his grandfather passed away, he had to observe filial piety for three years. The girl who had been engaged before could not wait any longer, so she broke off the engagement with him. So now that the filial piety period is over, we start looking at marriage again.

The family conditions of the Zhao family are better than those of the Sun family. Zhao Qiyun's father opened a noodle shop and ran a small business. His two daughters are already married. Zhao Qiyun is the second son in the family. He has an older brother who is married and has read some books. , I have not made any progress since I passed the scholar examination. Now I have opened a private school to teach a few children, and my income is enough to be considered decent.

The reasons for the two of them were simple. Qingrong thought that if she got married, she would be the mother-in-law of the family, someone who could speak her mind and take charge. Yanwei, on the other hand, felt that she was out of touch and didn't like being in charge of the family, so she just wanted to be the second daughter-in-law and live a stable life. Don't worry too much.

Anyway, everyone has their own ideas.
