Chapter 153 Lobbying
Hearing Xu Zizheng's name suddenly, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "How could the emperor pardon Carol? Wasn't that woman introduced to the emperor by Taishi Fang? As usual, the emperor gave that woman a way out. That is already extraordinarily merciful.”

"That's right, I also find it strange. But my husband said, this Carol still has some tricks. It is said that he used the Qiang flute to lure the emperor to the cold palace. Seeing the beauty who was doted on back then, now she is so lonely, The emperor couldn't bear it, so he took it back. As for the two masters Xu, they are even more beautiful, quite the limelight of Taishi Fang back then!"

These words made Changsun Jingrong feel strange, and thought to himself that although the emperor is not a wise king, he also knows how to keep the throne, how could he just jump out of one fire pit and then jump into another fire pit?

Xiao Runiang felt that this topic was a bit far-fetched, so she held the hand of her eldest grandson Jingrong, and said with a smile: "Jingrong, you have suffered a lot outside this year, now that you are back, forget all the unhappy things. How about living a good life with the prince? I think the prince really loves and spoils you, otherwise he wouldn't be so sad. Seriously, you should cherish a man who treats you like this. "

Leaning forward slightly, Changsun Jingrong stared at Xiao Runiang's eyes jokingly, and asked, "Sima Xukong, how much benefit did you do to make you spend so much time trying to speak well for him?"

"You are heartless, I really can't stand it anymore, so I'm talking about you!" Xiao Ruiniang sat there angrily, with her hands on her hips, and scolded, "If it was someone else, I would love to see a joke! But It is you who are blinded by the mist now, so I am kind enough to remind you! And I can guarantee that if you lose the prince, you will definitely regret it! Jingrong, just listen to a word of advice, I will not harm you! "

"I know that you treat me well and think that the prince is a safe harbor. With him, I can live a stable life. But you don't understand the truth of the matter, and you don't know what I want."

Looking deeply at the eldest grandson Jingrong with both eyes, Xiao Runiang persuaded earnestly: "Women, what can you want? Is it possible that you really want to make contributions? A mediocre life is life! I know that you have high ambitions and great ambitions." , but we are women after all and need a sense of stability. Let's not care about the status of the prince, just look at his thoughts for you, can't that move you? Jingrong, as a woman, you must be content and happy!"

Contentment and happiness... Could it be that she is a greedy woman?

Sighing softly, Changsun Jingrong suddenly felt that he could not speak for Xiao Runiang.It's not that Changsun Jingrong doesn't have confidence in her eloquence, but she thinks it's pointless to argue with Xiao Runiang who is used to a stable life.But I have to say that Xiao Runiang's opinion is also reasonable, even if Changsun Jingrong disagrees, she cannot refute it.

Seeing the pensive look on Changsun Jingrong's face, Xiao Runiang patted her on the shoulder and said, "In a few days, I will take you around the circle of wives in the capital, and let people know that you are 'recovering'. You have been quiet for a year, and with Xue Lingruo's obstruction, people in the capital will almost forget you as the Ninth Princess. Now is the time to come out and walk around, let people see you as the real princess!"

Seeing Xiao Runiang's serious appearance, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but said with a smile: "I don't care about those fake names, and I also hate being polite to those fake women, so I don't want to go. If you want to ask for trouble, you can do it yourself." Let's go."

"Do you think I'm willing to see those fake faces? In order to stop the rumors, I must pay something." Xiao Ruiniang said helplessly, "Originally, the women in the capital were eyeing the prince. Now that Xue Lingruo is gone, there will definitely be some A large number of people rushed forward. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, of course you have to come out to let everyone see that you are still there, don't let those women think about it!"

"I'm not that useful, as long as I walk around the city ostentatiously, I can make others willing to give up their obsession." Changsun Jingrong shook his head, drinking tea and said, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but some things are still I can't force it. I think the current state is very good, safe and stable, and clean."

Helplessly covering her forehead, Xiao Runiang really shook the woman in front of her vigorously to see what was in her mind.A person who is obviously very smart, how can he encounter such a thing, as if he can't turn the corner!
Leaning her body forward, Xiao Runiang said unwillingly: "Do you think that the current peace is from the sky? Didn't it come from the prince who dealt with you for you! You keep saying that you don't rely on men, but in the end, don't you still enjoy him? The comfort for you? If you want me to convince me of your independence, then prove to me that without the Ninth Prince, you can still live a prosperous life!"

Looking at Xiao Runiang with a smile, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but said: "You woman, have you learned the aggressive method? I don't believe that no one taught you. You, just give up on this idea, don't I?" I will waste my time with those stupid women. If I have the time, can I think more about ways to make money? You think it's a big deal, but in my opinion, it's just a fleeting moment, not real. I'm very happy that you came to me to talk about the old days, but you always say things I don't want to hear, so don't blame me for being ill next time, so I won't be able to see any guests!"

Seeing what Changsun Jingrong said, Xiao Runiang had no choice but to sigh deeply.But in a hurry, Xiao Runiang still couldn't hold back, she reached out her hand to poke Changsun Jingrong's shoulder, and said bitterly: "You woman, you dare to be so unscrupulous only because the Ninth Prince loves you!"

Pamper yourself?

Changsun Jingrong smiled helplessly, thinking that if he really loves himself, why should he impose his will on himself?Obviously, he is a selfish man.

……

Although it was raining heavily and the road was wet, the members of Changsun's family were still waiting at the door early, and they couldn't help cheering each other when they saw the carriage with the logo of Wangfu written on it.

Changsun Jingrong saw her parents waiting at the door from a distance, and couldn't help feeling anxious, and hurriedly urged the groom to hurry up, and hurry up, she didn't want to see her parents getting wet in the rain because of herself.Finally, the carriage stopped in front of Changsun's mansion, and Changsun Jingrong couldn't wait to walk to the door, holding his parents' arms, with moisture in his eyes, and a trembling voice, said: "Father, mother!"

Bai Qinghua looked deeply at Changsun Jingrong, wiped his eyes, and said repeatedly: "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe."

Seeing that everyone gathered here, Bihe laughed and said, "Let's go in and discuss in detail. The young lady has just recovered, so she can't get wind."

"Look at my memory, how can I even forget this." Bai Qinghua patted his forehead and said, "Mirror come in quickly!"

Returning to the familiar place, Changsun Jingrong felt a lot of emotions in his heart, but the most emotional feeling was that his parents had become old.In this short period of one year, the parents shouldn't have changed so much. It must be because of my unfilial piety that I have troubled my parents.Holding his mother's hand with self-blame, the eldest grandson Jingrong murmured: "This year, I made my parents worry about Jingrong!"

"Silly boy, what are you talking about? As a parent, how can you not worry about your children?" Bai Qinghua felt that he was lucky to be able to see his eldest grandson Jingrong standing in front of him in peace. What dare you ask for?Looking up and down, Bai Qinghua felt as if he was in a dream.

The eldest grandson Zhentian also said with great emotion: "Don't think too much about the previous things. From now on, it is serious to live a good life with the prince. Before because of illness, you had no heirs, but now you are old. It's not too young, it's time to have a baby."

The eldest Sun Zhentian's words seemed to speak to Bai Qinghua's heart, he nodded repeatedly and said: "No, when girls from other families think you are your age, they already have two children, you have to hurry up!"

His head started to hurt again habitually, Changsun Jingrong managed to maintain a smile, and said, "Mom, don't you just talk about this as soon as I come back? I'm also quite tired, so I don't want to bother myself too much."

"Jing Rong, since you're in good health, can you go and see Wan Yue when you're free?"

"Okay, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, let's take it slowly." Bai Qinghua also knew his daughter's stubborn temper, if pushed hard, he didn't know what to do again, so he pressed her now According to the requirements, there should be no more problems.

But Changsun Zhentian has a straightforward temper, and he must say what is in his mind, just like at this moment, he thought of something else in his mind, so he said: "In this year, Wan Yue gave birth to a child." , You said that you, the older sister, are much later than the younger sister?"

Wanyue gave birth to a baby! ?

The eldest grandson Jingrong looked at Aunt Jiao in surprise, and Aunt Jiao smiled awkwardly: "Oh, how can Wanyue's child compare with the child born to Jingrong?"

Looking at Aunt Jiao with a smile, Changsun Jingrong asked, "How is Wan Yue doing recently?"

"Okay, of course! Her mother-in-law is very good to her, and she often helps take care of the children, asking for warmth all day long, just like her own daughter!"

If the eldest grandson Jingrong hadn't experienced the past, he might have been deceived by Aunt Jiao's words, but why didn't she know about Mrs. Xu's temper?Will she take care of her daughter-in-law herself?Even the likable Liu Shuyun couldn't do it, let alone the dumb Wan Yue?From the looks of it, he still doesn't know what he has suffered in the Xu family.

Back then, I had nothing to do in the Xu family because Xu Zizheng gave me medicine, but now Wan Yue has only been married for a year and has a child. What's going on?

With a lot of worries in his heart, Changsun Jingrong always felt that something was wrong with the current Xu family, and maybe someone should really be sent to investigate.

After chatting enthusiastically with his family for a long time, the eldest grandson Jingrong went back to his room to take a rest, preparing to go out for lunch later.

Just as the eldest grandson Jingrong was resting on the familiar soft couch with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. After Bihe opened the door, he realized that it was Aunt Jiao.

Seeing this expected person appear, Changsun Jingrong raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why is Aunt Jiao here?"

"Oh, I haven't seen the mirror for a long time, and Aunt Jiao is also thinking about it. A while ago, someone gave me a pair of bracelets. Although I knew it was definitely not a good thing in front of you, but the appearance was rare, so I thought about it." Give it to Jingrong, and take it with you when you have nothing to do."

Aunt Jiao walked in with a flattering smile on her face, and before she could say anything else, she began to bribe her eldest grandson Jingrong.And the cheap bracelet she mentioned, the eldest grandson Jing can also see that it is of good quality.This is strange, Aunt Jiao has never been a generous person, why did she take the initiative to give herself a gift today?Especially since we haven't seen each other for a year, according to her usual style, she should ask the truth on the sidelines.And now, which act is this?
Before he could understand Aunt Jiao's intentions, Changsun Jingrong half-truthfully declined with her, thinking that if Aunt Jiao didn't tell the truth, he and she would just evade it.

In the end, it was Aunt Jiao who couldn't hold back, held the hand of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and said with a bit of sadness: "Jingrong, there is no one else here, Aunt Jiao, let's be honest with you when it's time! I came here to ask you something."

The eldest grandson Jingrong showed a dazed look, and said: "We are all a family, why bother to talk so strangely? What's the matter, Aunt Jiao just talk about it."

Clutching her palms, Aunt Jiao seemed to be having a hard time opening her mouth, finally mustering up her courage, she said in a low voice: "I...I want Jingrong to go to Xu Zizheng's house to see Wanyue when you are free. Hey, let me tell you the truth, the old lady of the Xu family is nothing at all! Wan Yue still has a big belly, and she still has to do this and that, which caused Wan Yue to give birth prematurely, which almost endangered her life! I visited the Xu family once. Once a month, I found out that the old lady was not good to Wanyue, so I negotiated with the old lady once, but apart from sarcasm, the old lady never let me go in to see Wanyue again! Tell me, today Down below, is there anyone who bullies people like this! Even if Wan Yue is a concubine, she is still a girl from our eldest grandson's family, how can outsiders be bullied like this!"

The more Aunt Jiao talked, the more sad she became, until she covered her eyes with a handkerchief and began to cry.

Pretending to comfort her a few words, Changsun Jingrong asked angrily: "This is too much, doesn't Mr. Xu care about it?"

"Master Xu puts all his attention on the affairs of the court, he doesn't care how Wan Yue's life in the Xu family is like."

"Can Aunt Jiao tell my father about this?"

Aunt Jiao sighed deeply, and said: "Master said, these are women's affairs. As the head of the family, he has no way to stand out for such matters. Hey, is it possible that my poor Wanyue will be punished by the Xu family?" Bullying in vain! Woooo—”

"Damn it, it's not that our eldest grandson's family is empty, how can we let the Xu family bully us!" Changsun Jingrong said angrily as he patted the table hard.

"Jing Rong, don't be angry, you have just recovered, so you won't be angry for that family. In fact, I don't dare to bother you. I just think that the people of the Xu family look at your status as a princess. What you said, They don't dare not listen. I don't have any other requests now, I just hope that the Xu family will not treat Wanyue badly. Wanyue has been well-clothed since she was a child, and now there is no caring person to take care of her. I don't know what kind of life I lived!"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely take care of the matter of Wanyue. We can't let the Xu family bully our eldest grandson's family like this!"

After hearing the assurance from the eldest grandson Jingrong, Aunt Jiao couldn't help but feel relieved, thanked De De again, and left contentedly.Only when Aunt Jiao left, Bai Qinghua found his grandson Jingrong with a plate of fresh melons and fruits.

Putting the melons and fruits on the table, Bai Qinghua asked, "Just now, why did Aunt Jiao come to see you?"

While eating the fruit, Changsun Jingrong said casually: "Well, I said something about the moon, gave me a pair of bracelets, and left."

"I guessed it, it must be about Wanyue."

Wiping his palms again with a handkerchief, Changsun Jingrong asked, "Mother also knows about these things?"

"Yeah, she used to quarrel with the master before, and begged me. But after that, it was all over."

"In this way, the story of Wanyue's suffering is true." At the beginning, Changsun Jingrong wondered if Aunt Jiao had exaggerated the facts on purpose.But now it seems that it should be true.

However, from Bai Qinghua's point of view, it was a different mood.

"Hmph, with your Aunt Jiao here, can she easily let that old woman go? She has already spread the word that Mrs. Xu treats her daughter-in-law badly. But what can those gossiping women do to help her besides listening to the fun? When Mrs. Xu arrived, she simply cut off the contact between the two families. She only thought of asking the master and me to come out to her after she had offended everyone. But the matter has come to this, what can we do? Except touching noses I'm afraid it's nothing else. I advise you not to worry about it. After all, Wan Yue is someone else's daughter-in-law. We don't know the truth of the matter. What's more, Aunt Jiao is involved in it. There is no way to solve it. You just came back, so don't worry about these things, stay by your mother's side, and accompany your mother."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Jingrong half leaned on Bai Qinghua's shoulder like a little girl, and said with a smile: "Mother still loves Jingrong! Don't worry, my daughter knows how to protect herself."

Gently patted the eldest grandson Jingrong's shoulder, Bai Qinghua sighed: "I don't want to ask more about your affairs, I just hope you can be safe and sound. Let's not mention what happened before, it depends on the time you are away How the lord takes care of our eldest grandson's family, you know that the lord treats you sincerely. Mother can also see that you have no heart for the lord before, and you are used to freedom, and you don't want the shackles of status to trap you. But No matter how a woman wanders, she also needs to find a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is not easy for a man to give you this. If you miss the prince, you will definitely regret it in the future. "
