The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 403: The Temple (1)
The breakfast table has just been removed in Songhe Hall. Today, Grandma Yun has something to do at home, so she sent someone to deliver the letter early in the morning, so the morning class is gone.It is rare for the girls to rest for a day, and they dare not show it on the face, but they are secretly happy in their hearts.

The old lady saw that Zhao Jing sent Xu Si'an away and came back, but she wanted to ask Xu Si'an what she thought about Xu Xian's entry into the palace.He came back late yesterday and had to leave early this morning. With such a busy son, he really didn't even have time to say a whole sentence.

The girls all went into the room to play, and Zhao Jing sat next to the old lady.After all, you can’t tell the old lady directly about what you want to discuss with Wei Zhuyun, so Zhao Jing smiled and said: "Mother, don’t worry, Lord Hou said that the court is busy with paying fees in the south recently, and there will definitely be no queen so soon. With the news of Concubine Li, Lord Hou has already started looking for someone for Sister Xian."

Although Mrs. Xu does not seem to love Xu Xian very much, after all, she is the flesh and blood of the Xu family. Yesterday, she was so worried about this matter that she didn't sleep well all night. Today, she listened to Zhao Jing's words of consolation. But still couldn't help but said: "If the Empress Dowager says to let Sister E enter the palace, I don't have to worry about it. She has such a temper that she doesn't like to suffer, and with the support of her adoptive father, maybe she can live a happy life." But Sister Xian is different, she has been so cowardly and timid since she was a child, and she dared not say a word even if she took some advantage of herself."

After Zhao Jing heard this, she felt that she usually underestimated Mrs. Xu, but she was very clear in her heart, and knew a little about Sun Yu'e and Xu Xian's temperament.

The girls were playing in the second room, the curtain on the door of the moon cave was ajar, and the old lady was just inside. The maids were waiting for them and would not come over, but who knew that Sun Yu'e was born not fond of playing with rope and sewing, and was about to go out Joke with the old lady.This time I came to the edge of the curtain, no matter how soft Old Madam Xu's voice was, she still heard everything.

Sun Yu'e was not stupid at all, but she could hear some clues from the old lady's words.Xu Xian has such a stuffy temperament, she is bullied by herself at home and has no strength to fight back, if she goes to the palace, it's not that Sun Yu'e looks down on her, maybe twelve hours a day is not enough to cry.

Sun Yu'e has a high heart. After being imprisoned for two months, now that she is released, she wishes she could soar into the sky.I also thought that I am not young anymore, I am afraid that the old lady will also start to find a husband's family for her, but she has no idea what will happen in the future, so why not take advantage of this opportunity now, if she can replace her Xu Xian entered the palace, then Xu Si'an must be grateful to him in the future, and it can be regarded as repaying the old lady's love for her all these years.

Thinking of this, Sun Yu'e pulled the curtain and went out, which surprised the two people who were talking in the hall.

The old lady Xu's cheeks were a little embarrassed, she just looked inside and saw Xu Xian sitting on the kang quietly doing needlework, she felt a little relieved.

Sun Yu'e came out from the next room, knelt down in front of Mrs. Xu with a plop, looked up at her and said, "The granddaughter used to be ignorant, she did so many things to sorry the old lady, and often bullied her in private. Second sister, now my granddaughter has figured it out, the old lady is really good to me, if the old lady is reluctant to let her second sister enter the palace, the granddaughter is willing to enter the palace, since it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I am not afraid."

Zhao Jing didn't know that Sun Yu'e was still so bloody, but her previous temperament was like this, she didn't know how to cover up everything, and put it on her face when she was happy or not. Although she did such a vicious thing, it was still good On the surface is an aboveboard temperament.

It's just... the word "entering the palace" is not as easy as she said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was a little moved. Seeing that Sun Yu'e was kneeling on the ground, she no longer had the appearance of being a forward man, but she really seemed to have grown up, so she couldn't help asking: "What did you say... Are you serious? Are you going to enter the palace for your second sister?"

Sun Yu'e bit her lips and nodded, but Zhao Jing on the other side shook her head and said: "Let's not talk about whether the Empress Dowager can allow us to change people in the Hou's mansion, she is the one who grants, is the old lady really willing to give up?" Is the girl going to the palace?"

Zhao Jing has lived in the palace for ten years, and she has a deep understanding of the boring life in the palace. At that time, although there were no other concubines competing for favor in the palace, she had to spend a long time in a square palace city. Nor is it an easy task.She has only passed ten years, but she has spent a lifetime of patience. Now Sun Yu'e is only 15 years old. If she really enters the palace, her life for the rest of her life will probably be boring.
