King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 220 Sisters-in-law 1
Time soon came to the next day, and Yuan Chun entered the palace as usual.

Her plan was also normal, the prince was so benevolent that he actually wanted to kiss his younger brother to reassure him, this kind of thing really needs to be covered up.

Otherwise, if the emperor finds out, he will be judged incompetent before the job is done, even though the prince himself is like that.

After entering the palace, Yuan Chun rushed all the way to Kunning Palace, she hadn't entered the palace for five days.

It's not that she doesn't want to go, but because the queen has a lot of things to do every day, so she doesn't strictly require them to settle down in the morning and evening.

Coincidentally, Chen Zhi also entered the palace today, leading a group of high-ranking wives to talk to the queen in Kunning Palace.

"Mother, this thing is hard to come by. My daughter-in-law's virtue is shallow, but I don't have this blessing to endure..."

"In this world, only the queen mother is worthy of worship!"

On the small square table in the center of the room, there is a Buddha statue carved in yellow stone, about five inches high.

As Chen Zhi said, this thing is not so rare, because this Buddha statue is carved out of Tian Huangshi.

Tian Huangshi is rare, two or three inches are relatively rare, and five inches is especially rare.

"Empress, this thing is really rare, especially the carving is first-class, the princess really bothered..."

"Yeah, if you don't have a pure filial heart, you can't find such an object..."

Everyone was praising the Buddha statue, but more importantly, they were praising Chen Zhi. They were more flattering and didn't need money. If they made the queen and princess happy, they would earn money.

She was originally a person who worshiped Buddha, so Yang Qingyin was very happy to receive such a rare Buddha statue.

"Lao sixth daughter-in-law, this thing cost a lot of money, can your palace be open?"

Regarding the economic situation of Prince Rui's Mansion, Yang Qingyin naturally knew something about it, she did not want her own son to be greedy for money.

"Mother... Although this thing is expensive, it didn't cost much. The stone was bought by the prince, mainly because it took a lot of effort to find a carver!"

Chen Zhi spoke lightly, but Yang Qingyin didn't believe a single word.

After all, she is her own daughter-in-law, and she has to save face in front of all the wives, so Yang Qingyin didn't say much.

"Since it's your wish, then put it away!"

Chen Zhi replied with a smile: "So... it is also the blessing of this Buddha statue!"

When the hall was in harmony, a palace lady came to report that the prince and side concubine had arrived.

All the high-ranking wives present, knowing more about the royal family, knew that the person who came was Yuan Chun.

Entering the hall, seeing so many people there, Yuan Chun immediately felt a difficulty.

With so many people present, if she talked about the serious matter after a while, if Chen Zhi pressed her to ask, the matter would not end well.

"The son and minister kowtow to see the mother!"

"Hmm... no courtesy!" The queen responded.

When Yuan Chun got up, Chen Zhi came forward and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, how have you been?"

This statement was a spoof, it was simply pointing out that Yuan Chun didn't come to pay his respects, and said it for the hearing of other people present.

Faced with such a scene, all the wives at the scene were very embarrassed. They didn't like to participate in the royal teasing the most, and they might offend others if they were not careful.

Yuan Chun pretended not to understand, and said, "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine these days!"

"That's good. My fourth brother is weak, and my sister will take care of me. You should take care of yourself!"

These two people were tricky when they spoke, and everyone present was very embarrassed, and they wanted to leave but couldn't open their mouths.

Seeing that the sister-in-law was about to fight, Yang Qingyin also knew that the family's ugliness should not be publicized, so she ordered: "You all go back, I can't keep so many people here!"

"Yes... the minister will retire!"

All the wives bid farewell after saluting as if they were receiving an amnesty.

When the crowd retreated, the two of Yuan Chun kept silent because the queen's face was already ugly.

"Can't you stay friendly in front of outsiders? You are not afraid of being laughed at!" Yang Qingyin said dissatisfied in her tone.

Seeing that she was really angry, Chen Zhi hurriedly knelt down: "Queen Mother, calm down!"

"Please mother calm down!"

"Calm your anger? You really have no rules, why are you making a fuss?"

After being reprimanded by the queen, Yuan Chun could still be taught with peace of mind, but Chen Zhi felt 1 uncomfortable. Obviously, today's gift was given for nothing.

"Get up, get out if there's nothing to do!"

"Yes!"

Chen Zhi responded, but what made her puzzled was that Yuan Chun didn't speak, so she got up and didn't rush away, wanting to see the purpose of Yuan Chun's trip.

"My queen, the begonias are blooming in the garden of the East Palace. The crown prince knows that Sheng'er has been very bored recently, so he asked the minister to come and ask for orders... He asked Sheng'er to go for a stroll, so that the brothers and sisters can talk!"

For Zhu Jingyuan, Yang Qingyin has always cared for her, so she has no objection.

"Sheng'er, a few days ago, while I was fasting with the sage, she pestered the old thirteen and took her to Xiyuan to mess around!"

"Now that I've finally settled down, the fourth brother invites her over again... These two brothers are really a virtue!"

That being said, the Queen had a smile on her face, indicating that she did not really accuse Zhu Jingyuan.

Sitting back on the couch, Yang Qingyin said in a deep voice: "The fourth one knows how to be polite, he asked Sheng'er to go over, let Sheng'er go for a while!"

Seeing that the queen agreed, Yuan Chun heaved a sigh of relief, and replied again and again: "The prince is an enthusiastic person. He said that the sisters have become more and more distant in recent years. He suddenly saw flowers blooming in the garden, so he wanted to let sister Sheng'er come to watch..."

"The empress mother's approval now fully fulfills the wishes of the prince. My son thanked the empress mother on behalf of the prince!"

Hearing this chorus, Chen Zhi always felt that Yuan Chun's words meant something.

What does it mean that the prince is a warm-hearted person, what does it mean that the sisters are becoming more and more alienated, the latter sentence is obviously pointing at Prince Rui.

"Empress Mother, what sister-in-law said is true, Prince Rui also always misses younger siblings, but we live outside the palace now, it's inconvenient to communicate with younger siblings... Now that Empress Mother agrees, it seems that we were the ones to worry about in the past!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhi glanced at Yuan Chun, and then said: "It just so happens that in the garden of the palace, there are also some exotic flowers and plants growing luxuriantly. In a few days, we will also invite Sheng'er to watch it, so as not to be said to be a brother who is heartless and ungrateful." !"

I just said to be kind, but now that Chen Zhi said this again, Yang Qingyin's face suddenly became uneasy.

Chen Zhi also felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she only thought about how to remedy it.

At this moment, someone outside reported that Baochai had come.

Yang Qingyin didn't want to talk about Chen Zhi, so she skipped the matter and ordered: "Call her in!"

After a few breaths, Baochai, who was wearing a dark blue cloud-patterned double-breasted jacket and a dark blue horse-face skirt, walked into the hall with a tray.

Walking up to the queen, Baochai saluted and said, "I want to report to your empress...this is the princess' homework!"

Picking up the top few pages from the tray, Yang Qingyin read them carefully, and the hall was completely silent.

At this moment, Baochai looked at Yuanchun. The two of them had met several times before, but they didn't even have a chance to talk. The two were still strangers in essence.

Of course, Chen Zhi was also observing Baochai, and she was very curious about this attendant who attracted Zhu Jinghong's attention and pushed her cousin out of Kunning Palace.

Although there is no verbal communication between the two, Chen Zhi has to admit that Baochai is outstanding just from the appearance and demeanor.

I don't know how the fourth child is bewitched, so that the thirteenth child is so interested in this girl...

Maybe for a straight person like the thirteenth, you shouldn't go around and play tricks, it's more effective to exchange hearts like the fourth...

For a while, Chen Zhi thought of a lot, and the queen also finished her homework during this period.

Looking at Baochai, Yang Qingyin said with a smile: "Sure enough, you have made progress, and you have not let me down!"
