Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 131

Yaohua Palace, the main hall.

Shi Niang was dressed in a light green bodysuit, with a slightly protruding lower abdomen, sitting on the head, holding her stomach with one hand, and holding a round fan with the other.Her eyes are shining brightly, twinkling like stars, moving forward and looking forward, extremely flexible, as if she can speak with only one eye, her face is meandering, and there is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Ma'am, the Eighth Princess and Fourth Madam Du have arrived and are waiting outside the hall." The little eunuch came in to report.

"Sixth Sister and Mother are here, please hurry up." Ten Niang put down her round fan and said to Ruomin, "Go and invite Mother and Sixth Sister yourself."

The little eunuchs and maids in the palace were secretly startled.It is said that Mrs. Shujia has been in the palace for more than ten years. When she was pregnant and was about to give birth, the Du family was not like other aristocratic families. The headed wife came to accompany her early.The emperor and queen sympathized with his wife, and often called the eighth princess into the palace to accompany his wife to wait for delivery.Later, the eighth princess became pregnant, so she went back to Du's house for confinement.

As the wife is a concubine, she doesn't often summon the fourth wife of the Du family into the palace.The fourth wife of the Du family is the stepmother, so it's normal not to be intimate with the wife.

Today, the fourth wife of the Du family entered the palace together with the eighth concubine, but it was unpredictable for the people below.But the master's emphasis on the visitor made them secretly guess that maybe this Mrs. Du Si is different in Madam's heart.

"Huaping, go and make a pot of green tea again, and bring the food from the Northwest side that Yao'er sent a few days ago, so that mother and sixth sister can try something new. In addition, tell Baoxia that the small kitchen will have dinner with you. A dish of eight-treasure fish in vinegar, a dish of emerald green with a little red, and a sour bamboo shoot soup." Huaping hurriedly answered and went to the small kitchen to help.

The eighth princess, Du Liuniang, was dressed in a first-grade princess court dress, followed by the little princess of the palace.The eldest princess is dressed in green fir, with slender hands and skin like jade. She is about ten years old, with a gentle face and a delicate body.

Immediately afterwards, a woman entered the main hall, wearing a dark blue silk shirt and fourth-grade lady's court dress. She was about 36 or seven years old, with a beautiful complexion, and her eyebrows were vaguely similar to Du Zicheng.

"Greetings to Mrs. Shujia, Mrs. Jin'an." The three saluted one by one.As a first-rank concubine, Liu Niang is of a higher rank than Shi Niang, but because Shi Niang is the emperor's woman, she bows down.Behind her, the princess and Mrs. Du Si really kowtowed.

"Sixth sister, please get up quickly, please get up mother. Give me a seat. Jingshan, come to my aunt." As soon as Shi Niang opened her mouth, Ruo Min hurriedly helped Mrs. Du Si up, and after she sat down, she personally brought the freshly brewed tea. Good green tea for her.

I saw Jingshan, the little princess of the Eighth Prince’s Mansion, pursing her lips, as if she hadn’t heard Ten Niang’s summons, she just looked at the exquisite food on the table with her smiling eyes, and stretched out her hand to pinch a piece of cheese cake, about to give it to her mouth.Her skin was as white as a fresh water chestnut, and there was a small black mole at the corner of her mouth, which made her even more charming, and her oval face was full of elegance and naughtiness.

The cheese puff past her mouth was knocked off with a "crack", "Irregular girl. Madam told you to come forward and talk." Liu Niang pinched her daughter lightly, stretched out her hand, and covered her with a handkerchief. The crumbs of food in Jingshan's hands fell off.

"It hurts!" The little princess yelled at Ten Niang who was sitting above her while hiding, "Ten Aunt, Sixth Aunt, my mother beat me in your palace and didn't allow me to eat the snack you specially left for me. "

"You girl, how do you know that this snack is left to you by your aunt?" Shi Niang smiled at the naughty niece, "This is exactly the same as Xiao Ba when he saw the dim sum. How about Said they were cousins."

"I'm not as greedy as Xiao Ba." Jing Shan stepped forward, shaking Shi Niang's sleeves coquettishly, "The dim sum in your palace is the best, please help me to beg for mercy, let me bring some back to eat today. "

"Go to the small kitchen and find Baoxia. She heard that your mother is here today, and she has made a lot of snacks for you." Ten Niang pointed her niece's head, "Xiaoba lives in the side hall these days. Have someone deliver the refreshments, and you sisters talk."

"Hey, I knew that Aunt Six was the best." Jing Shan smiled happily, "Then what's the point of me going to find that lazy girl, Xiao Ba, to stay in the house all day."

"Princess Jingyue went for a horse race today, so she should be back by now." Ruo Min stepped forward and quietly handed Shi Niang a glass of milk.

Jingshan was taken aback, quickly loosened the sleeves she was still holding, and made a face at Ruomin, "Auntie, Jingshan has a sense of proportion, and won't hurt the younger brother in aunt's belly."

"The servant is not worried that you will hurt the little master, but the servant wants to remind you that the eighth princess is turning blue behind you." Ruomin said in a low voice that could not be inaudible.

"Ah?" Jing Shan came back, and sure enough, she saw her mother looking like she wanted to beat her, and hurriedly ran out of the hall with a plate of pastries, shouting as she ran, "I'm going to find Jingyue."

"This naughty girl!" Ten Niang said to the blue-faced Liu Niang, "Don't worry, Sixth Sister, someone is following Jingshan."

"I made my sister laugh. The prince is at home during this time, and this girl has been spoiled by her father." Liu Niang mentioned her husband and daughter with a look of happiness that couldn't be concealed.

"Sixth Sister, don't worry too much about Jingshan. There are still four sisters above Jingyue who are not married. It's still early for her to be with Jingshan." The implication is that the emperor still has many daughters, and the marriage will not take place in Wangfu County. Lord, take heart.

"It's not that I have to stick to her, she's not too young, after all, she's going to marry into someone else's house, and it's time to learn the rules. When our sisters were at home, didn't we also have to learn the rules?"

"Teach slowly, don't rush for a while. And with your lord watching, Jingshan can't suffer." Shi Niang persuaded, and then sighed, "Looking at Jingyue and Jingshan, I can't help but think of us back then. My sisters studied together, and my mother taught me how to ride a horse, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye."

"No, it's time for my ninth brother to be my daughter-in-law." Liu Niang looked at Mrs. Du Si and smiled. Her fourth aunt is very knowledgeable and rarely visits her tenth sister in the palace, but when she makes things difficult for her at home , can always be resolved ingeniously.There are also tricks, the eldest, third, and even her mother can't easily win favor from the fourth aunt.Knowing that she was entering the palace this time, he sent someone to find someone and followed her into the palace, saying that he had something to ask to see his wife.

"Mom is starting to let the fourth brother want to see someone?" When Shi Niang heard Liu Niang say it, she thought of her ninth brother who was far away in Nanluo. According to his age, it was time to say kiss. "

"Your grandmother thinks that the third sister of Lu's family, Zhizhi, is steady, and the youngest daughter of my natal family's third sister-in-law's family, I think I can talk with Brother Cheng."

Mrs. Chen didn't hold back, and made it clear what she came for, "Of course, if the empress can point out a marriage for your brother, then it will be all right for the Du family."

"Mom, don't want to see it in private. It would be bad if someone caught our family. Today's draft has been postponed due to the war in Fengyang. When the spring of next year begins, the draft will definitely be held. At that time, the brand will be put up." Only beautiful girls can get married on their own. You go back and tell your grandmother that there is no rush. How many people are watching the Du family in my position now." Shiniang thought for a while and said to Chen Shi.

These days, in Yujing, the Xiao family was punished, and the strength of the Liu family and Nalan family was seriously injured.The Chen family is always low-key, the Lu family also lost a lot of manpower in this accident, and the Li family is still high-profile as always.But in terms of the most powerful, it is far from these few.Because of her these years, the Du family has skyrocketed in Yujing and become famous in the capital.

Right now she is Mrs. Cong Yipin who is in charge of the Phoenix seal. The queen is not in the palace. Although she is not a noble concubine, she is already treated as a deputy queen in the inner palace.This made the hot-eyed Du family and her people jealous, so she had to knock more.You know, a family is often corrupted from a small point.

"Originally, I wasn't too anxious, but the third master has been unhappy a few days ago. Discussed with the old lady, saying that it is time for Xiao Jiu to see the marriage."

"Brother Cheng was in Nanluo a few days ago, and I don't know when he will be back after the battle. Third uncle must be thinking of Brother Yun who died in the battle a few months ago." Ten Niang's eyes flashed, thinking When the news came back from the third prince, I didn't expect Ruhua and that person to come together in disguise.I don't know if it's God's will to trick people or it should be so.

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Chen was a little anxious. She came into the palace today to express the family's position and send a letter to Mrs. Shujia.But her stepdaughter, these days, has been going too smoothly in the inner palace. In her opinion, she has lost her original vigor.

"Don't panic, Brother Cheng, our family has secretly sent someone to follow. Besides, he is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. If he really fights, he will use his cleverness to lead the way?" Shi Niang waved her hand, and Si Jin led the people down Replace the tea.

Seeing Si Jin's figure leaving the hall, Mrs. Chen still looked very nervous about the battle in Nanluo, "Brother Cheng wrote back a few days ago, saying that he has arrived in Nanluo, and the King of Fengyang is also there now." Nanluo, I'm always not at ease as a mother. A letter came from the south of our house, saying that it was because Jiuguye insisted on taking a concubine. Jiugu's grandma was angry with him and ran away from home in a fit of anger. Now she has no one. There is news. The south is in a state of chaos, where can I find her from a woman's family?"

"Ninth Sister's husband's family just let Madam run away from home? I don't think much of my Du family." Shiniang turned her eyes and understood the meaning of Chen's words, pretending to be angry.

"The Wei family has been doing a lot of business over the years. Their family's semi-colon has opened to the capital. The Wei family's father-in-law and mother-in-law are all in Yujing with the Wei family's children. They have been there with their young husband and wife. You know that your Ninth Sister was spoiled by your grandmother and grew up with a strong temper. Now that you leave home, you don't know how to suffer."

"After all, it's about the third room, so we don't want to interfere. What about my third uncle?" Ten Niang asked casually, "You take care of the house and take good care of grandma. Grandma is old and likes to eat something on weekdays." Snacks, it’s better to persuade them more, eat more good things and digest them more, don’t accumulate food.”

"The third master said directly that a girl from the Du family should not be wronged. But he is not benevolent in defending the family, so we must not be unjust. He has already sent someone to find Grandma Jiugu. He also said that it is normal for angelica to return, but this guard If she can't go home, she will definitely not let her go back."

Like the Wei family, the Du family is just a pawn of the royal family and even the emperor.No matter how powerful the chess piece is, it cannot escape the fate of being plotted by the master.Danggui Danggui will definitely hand over the rights when the rights are handed over, but if the emperor threatens the Du family and Du Xianyu because of this, the Du family will definitely not hand over more than ten counties of Nanluo to the emperor.

"People from the Du family can't be bullied for nothing. Go, Ruo Min, and get people to spread the news from Yujing. Just say that I said it, and the third master of the Wei family came to Yujing to have an audience. Sister is in charge, and the two of them are allowed to reconcile."

Ruo Min took the order and left.

The emperor wants to use the Wei family to play games with the Du family, and he is still worried about the Du family in Fengyang, and he is determined to take back the Du family's influence along the Nanluo line.The Du family, that is, the third master Du, has revealed the meaning of the Du family, that the king wants his minister to die, and the minister has to die.The Du family is loyal to the royal family, but if this Mingjun doesn't know, then why the Du family's life-saving force should be handed over to the royal family in vain.

The Du family wanted to let Du Jiu take over Nanluo's power, and Du Jiu would be handed over to Shi Niang, and then handed over to the next emperor of the Tian family.For Emperor Rui, they still need the strategy of Ten Niangs turning around to break Emperor Rui's layout.

Ten Niang's method is simple and effective.Jiuniang is in Nanluo, and the forces of Nanluo are in Jiuniang's hands, so she must be fine.Wei San went to the inner sea, and sent additional men to follow.The rest is left to the emperor to toss.
