Eldest daughter

Chapter 490
When Cui Yuan went back to the courtyard, he heard Dongmei say that Wang Yuaner was not feeling well today, she frowned, and strode into the house.

As expected, Wang Yuan'er was lying on the kang with a sleepy expression, his face extremely ugly.

"What's the matter? Brother Chu got into trouble and made you unhappy?" Cui Yuan took off his overcoat and threw it to Dong Xue, waving his hand.

"I'm back." Wang Yuan'er replied weakly, without getting up to greet her.

Cui Yuan felt even more puzzled, stepped forward to touch her forehead, but there was no fever, and said: "How do these girls serve, Qiu..."

"Don't call, it's none of their business, it's because I feel uncomfortable. Do you know that the second uncle is the judge of the county magistrate?" Wang Yuan'er pulled him to sit down and asked.

Cui Yuan was startled, and said: "The performance evaluation last year was also Zhongliang, what's wrong?"

Wang Yuan'er sneered: "I'm afraid I'll be judged poorly this year."

Cui Yuan looked at her.

Wang Yuan'er then told how Lan'er met the old men when she went back to offer sacrifices, and realized that they were no longer going to Ji County, so she sent people to Ji County and Changle Town to inquire about the news.

Cui Yuan frowned and let go, said: "It's not a big deal, so don't take it too seriously. It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. In this officialdom, there is no one who has completely clear water. That's it. I, who is neither big nor small, have always picked up some things, right? There are such a bunch of people here, how can I support a big family with only such a small salary?"

"I'm not saying let him be an upright official, but a person must have a bottom line, let alone burying his conscience, that Mrs. Zhang..." Wang Yuan'er gritted her teeth in hatred: "We can't let her follow my second uncle like this, otherwise the few days When people's brains get hot, they don't know what will happen. She dared to plot against Lan'er, I can't tolerate her."

Cui Yuan patted her on the shoulder and said: "If you don't want to look at her, since the old man and the others have returned to Changle Town, it is right to send her back to serve the two elders, after all, she is the head of the house."

"I have to go to the palace and talk to Qing'er about this matter. If Mrs. Zhang doesn't beat her hard, she has forgotten who she is." Wang Yuan'er said again.

It was inconvenient for the uncle Cui Yuan to intervene in the affairs of the inner house, so he nodded.

"There is one more thing. You know how my second uncle became an official. My second uncle is just a mediocre person. He is not really expected to be an official. In my opinion, I would rather he be a rich man than to be an official." So as not to be used as a target in this officialdom." Wang Yuan'er was silent for a while, then lowered her voice and said: "Although the princes are still young, you also said that the affairs of the big man started before he was born. Fighting. A little person like my second uncle will become cannon fodder if he doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid it will be worse. It's better to be a rich man, idle and rich, and safe and secure, don't you think?"

Cui Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "You are right, now we are really conspicuous, in the eyes of others or the emperor, Wen has me, Wu has Dali and they are all the help of your concubine, If it's really... fine. You go back to the palace to find your empress, talk about it carefully, and keep a low profile."

Wang Yuan'er nodded and said, "Then I'll hand over the sign and enter the palace tomorrow. Speaking of which, Qing'er gave birth to a princess, and I'm heavy, so I haven't seen her before."

"Well, pay attention to yourself. Although you are confinement, you are still close."

……

The next day, Wang Yuan'er handed over a sign to the palace, and brought his newborn sons to pay his respects to the empress and Princess Dingyang.

The palace accepted the sign, Cui Yuan personally sent their mother and son into the palace, and went to find the emperor to talk about official business, while Wang Yuaner's mother and son went to the harem.

Different from before, when I went to Chaoyang Palace to pay my respects, the empress received her and a pair of twins, and she couldn't help but praise her.

"Mrs. Cui is a blessed person, but one must cherish her blessings so that her blessings will last forever." Empress Wen suddenly said.

Wang Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The concubine has the protection of the empress, and will surely be blessed forever."

Empress Wen smiled and said: "Okay, Concubine Qing is probably in a hurry, so let's go over quickly."

Wang Yuan'er quickly knelt down and retreated, and went to Qingxi Palace with a bunch of rewards.

There were already people waiting in the Qingxi Palace, and when they saw Wang Yuan'er coming, they spread their voices inward, and Wang Qing'er came out to welcome her.

"Why did you take so long this time? Your Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, did you?" Wang Qing'er asked, holding her hand.

Wang Yuan'er smiled and shook her head: "Your Majesty left me to talk for a while."

The two entered the hall and sat down. Wang Yuan'er looked at Wang Qing'er carefully, and saw that her complexion was rosy, her figure was a little plump compared to before, but her whole person was more radiant and graceful. It can be seen that she is living a comfortable life now, so she couldn't help but feel relieved. Come.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time. It's just that I was too heavy to come here, so these two babies were finally born. Now that I'm out of the moon, I can come." Wang Yuan'er said with a smile.

"I'm fine in the palace, you can rest assured, this is Brother Mo and Brother Yu?" Wang Qing'er looked at the swaddling babies held by the two wet nurses behind her.

Wang Yuan'er hummed and motioned for them to come forward and show Wang Qing'er the two children.

"It's so resembling. The stronger one is Brother Mo? This kid is stronger than his younger brother. He must have eaten more." Wang Qing'er smiled and nodded at the two children.

"Brother Yu's body is weak, I also take it in my heart." Wang Yuan'er looked at her youngest son lovingly.

Wang Qing'er received the meeting gift, and before Wang Yuan'er could ask, the palace man said that the princess was awake and was looking for the empress.

Wang Yuaner quickly stood up.

"Sister, you just sit down, but you are her aunt." Wang Qing'er said with a smile.

"Etiquette cannot be broken, especially if this is still in the palace." Wang Yuan'er shook her head.

The palace man came over with a child full of flowers, Wang Yuan'er hurriedly bowed his knees and made a deep salute, Wang Qing'er cried out.

"Come on, let's meet my aunt." Wang Qing'er personally carried her daughter to Wang Yuan'er's place.

Princess Dingyang has been six months old, her eyebrows and eyes are exactly like Emperor Jing's, a pair of eyebrows are very heroic, her eyes are big and energetic, her small mouth and nose follow Wang Qing'er's, and it is a combination of their strengths.

No wonder everyone is spreading rumors that among the emperor's sons and daughters, Princess Dingyang is the one she likes the most, because she looks like him.

Look at this little man, wearing soft red clothes, sitting in Wang Qing'er's arms, staring straight at Wang Yuan'er, not afraid of life at all, the little man, full of noble air, looks like a noble lady of the royal family.

Wang Yuan'er gave birth to three sons, now it's very rare to see a girl, especially this is the daughter of his own sister, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hug her.

The little princess was not timid either, she didn't cry or make trouble when she was hugged by Wang Yuaner, she just tilted her head and looked at Wang Yuaner curiously, until Wang Yuaner's heart melted.

Wang Yuan'er put on her the gift he had prepared a long time ago. It was a piece of tourmaline the size of a baby's hand, engraved with patterns of fortune, wealth and longevity, which was extremely exquisite.

"I asked Master Cong Yun to consecrate and bless it in Daxiang Temple. It can keep you safe when you go in and out. If it is not expensive, just keep it well. If you don't wear it, you can tie it in the cradle." Wang Yuan'er said to her mother.

"Okay." Wang Qing'er nodded with a smile, and watched Wang Yuan'er lure her to tease the two children, sitting beside her with a smile.

After teasing the two children enough, let their nanny take them to play on the kang covered with thick blankets in the side hall, Wang Yuan'er sat down with Wang Qing'er and talked, naturally they also talked about Zhang's actions.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Qing'er was so angry that she smashed the pastel ice blue beauty kiln porcelain teacup in her hand, and shouted angrily: "She is really capable, she dares to accept bribes to settle the case behind? .”

Wang Yuan'er was also angry, but this time, it was inevitable that she would have to persuade her a few words.

"Sister Lan'er, you just decide what to do. Lan'er has several of our sisters here, and her aunt in the next room can't intervene in her marriage. Then the Changxing Marquis Mansion is definitely not a good relationship. I think, Second Aunt I'm afraid I'm going to tell Lan'er to that week?"

"Zhou Chongyong."

"That's right, it's this rascal. We Lan'er, a good girl, can't fall into such a pit of fire. It's fine if the second aunt doesn't mention it. If she dares to mention it, you can just beat her to death. If you're not sure, just pass it on." I got a sign and came to see me. I don't believe it anymore, I can't cure her now!" Wang Qing'er had a gloomy face.

Wang Yuan'er then told her plan, and said in a low voice: "Now you have only one princess under you, but like us, as your brother-in-law said, it's better to be in the middle, and no one will come close, so as to save the emperor. My second uncle doesn’t have a great talent, he’s like that, it’s best if he can be conservative, if he can rely on the emperor’s heart to find some kind of earl, a white-collared salary from the emperor, and less trouble, what do you think?”

Wang Qing'er's face was slightly condensed, she nodded and said: "You are right. Although I don't have a prince, I also have a princess. The emperor doesn't like me and the people behind me leaning on that side. Eldest sister, you must remember to be with your brother-in-law You Dali said that they are all loyal to the emperor, not me."

Wang Yuan'er felt a little sour, shook her hand, and said, "It's hard for you!"

"It's not hard to do, you ministers are loyal to the emperor, so I can do well in this harem and be invincible." Wang Qing'er's eyes flickered.

Wang Yuan'er nodded, they were loyal to the emperor and won the trust of the emperor, Qing'er's status would naturally be even stronger.

"As for the second uncle, let him take care of the county magistrate first, and when I find a chance, I will ask for grace to find some kind of uncle." Wang Qing'er touched the rosary on her wrist and said, "As for the second aunt, let her Go back to Changle Town to serve grandpa and grandma. If she doesn't want to, go live in Xiangshan Temple and pray for our royal family. When you figure it out, come back at any time. Don't meddle in this matter, big sister, wait for you When the two elder brothers are full moon, she will come, and I will naturally send someone to pass on my words."

Wang Yuan'er felt relieved, seeing the fierceness and brilliance flashing in Wang Qing'er's eyes from time to time, it was only then that she truly felt that her younger sister had grown into a real imperial concubine, with means, calculations, and plans .
