The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 285

Although this is the emperor's third son, it is not too unusual.But the birth of the third son is not weaker than the birth of the second son this spring.Not only the emperor was very happy, he rewarded the Yang family with a lot of property, even the empress frequently added favor to concubine Ning. Although the official announcement has not been made yet, the palace has already revealed that at most, after the little prince is full moon, this Ning concubine The concubine is about to become Concubine Ning.

The concubine in the palace is now Concubine Niu Shu. If the sixth lady can be promoted successfully, it can be said that to some extent, she is already on an equal footing with Concubine Niu Shu. Considering her humble background, this matter is a blow to Concubine Niu Shu. It is much bigger than anyone else.When the second lady went to Xu's house to eat the full moon wine, she went around to the table of the seventh lady and told her, "I heard that concubine Shu has always been in a bad mood, and because the third son of the emperor is strong and lively, the child who was born is already in time. The stature of the second son is not less angry."

Due to the strict rules in the palace, when the sixth lady was giving birth, she happened to catch up with Liulang Xisan of the fourth room, and the seventh lady was going to take care of the housework at home. It was Mrs. Xu who came to the palace to congratulate her. Not only did she fail to see Concubine Ning, even Concubine Xu with.Therefore, the Seventh Lady has not entered the palace for three or four months, so of course she does not know as much about the news in the Palace as the Second Lady.

Hearing Concubine Niu Shu's movement, a tacit smile floated on her lips, "Your Majesty's bad breath, I can finally figure it out."

The biggest beneficiary of the silent war between the empress and Concubine Niu Shu was Liu Niangzi, so in front of Qi Niangzi, Er Niangzi would not deny this point, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's because the empress is big-hearted. You have given the position to Concubine Ning so readily."

After a pause, he couldn't hide his joy, "The prince's health is getting better and better now. Since the empress has paid more attention to his education, the child is much more sensible now!"

Hello Prince, it is also good news for the Yang family, Seventh Lady hurriedly said, "This is a happy event, so everyone is well!"

The sisters exchanged a wink, and they all pursed their lips and laughed.The Fourth Young Madam came over and laughed again, "Obviously Mrs. Sun and our sixth sibling are sisters. The two of them were hiding here and whispering. Come, Mrs. Sun, toast you a glass of wine!"

After giving birth, although she has plumped up a lot, her face is more radiant, and she is more careful in dealing with people and things.Seventh lady went to visit her several times, and felt that the atmosphere in Shendu Hall had changed a lot: I don't know if she was touched by Fifth Lady's death. This time, fourth young lady placed the small medicine pot in the corner of the bedroom, There are people watching at twelve hours.

After having a drink with the second lady, the fourth young lady turned over and went to another table, and her laughter could still be heard after a few feet, "Oh, it's really hard to give birth to this child. I heard that it won't happen next time." There is such a thing, I don’t know if it’s true…”

The seventh lady and the second lady looked at each other, and she looked at the back of the fourth young lady meaningfully.

"The fourth sister-in-law of your family is also good." The second lady pondered again, "I just want to live a good life for myself. I think she won't bring you much trouble in the future."

As soon as the fifth young lady left, the eldest young lady formed a tacit understanding with her again. In fact, the fourth young lady did not have much conflict of interest with the seventh lady. At least, until the fourth young master had other ideas, the two houses were still harmonious.

Thinking of this, Seventh Lady whispered, "Second Sister, come into Mingde Hall later, I have something to say to you."

The second lady couldn't help being slightly surprised, she glanced at the seventh lady, and nodded calmly.

Although Liu Lang is the eldest son of the fourth house, he is not the first grandson in the mansion after all. Although the celebration is grand, it is not too grand.In the middle of the afternoon, the guests left one after another, and it was not until late in the evening that the seventh lady sent the second lady out of Mingde Hall, and told Xu Fengjia, "It's good to send the second sister home."

Because the second lady brought Xiao Shizi to drink, then lowered her head and patted Xiao Shizi's head, "Is it fun to be with two younger brothers?"

Xiao Shizi showed a rare bright smile, "It's fun!"

After a pause, he added, "The two cousins ​​are very obedient. Next time, Aunt Seven will let them stay at our house for a few more days?"

The seventh lady and the second lady looked at each other, and they both smiled. The second lady pressed the corners of her eyes and said in a low voice, "As long as you read obediently, when the twelfth lunar month comes, we will bring my cousin to stay for a ten-day stay, okay?"

Because the second lady was in Mingde Hall, Xu Fengjia had been avoiding playing with the children in the east wing of Mingde Hall. He seemed to like Xiao Shizi a lot, so he picked him up again, "It's better if you come to Uncle's place." Come and stay for a ten-day stay with my two younger brothers!"

Shiro and Goro also ran out to see off Er Niangzi and cousin, Shiro giggled when he heard this, "Then let's go to the second aunt's house to stay with cousin, and when we come back, cousin will come to accompany us."

The relationship between the cousins ​​is harmonious, and the elders are naturally happy. The second lady winked at the seventh lady, and when the seventh lady walked closer, she said in a low voice, "Don't worry about this, I will go to the palace to visit the empress tomorrow. When the time comes, I will go to Jingren Palace to have a look, what's the matter, you can wait until my letter comes back."

Speaking of which, Er Niangzi and Fifth Niangzi were born of the same mother, so their relationship is naturally much closer than that between Fifth Niangzi and Seventh Niangzi. Seventh Lady can't hide from Second Lady about Madam's matter.

She glanced at Xu Fengjia, nodded and said softly, "Then I'll wait for news from Second Sister."

After all, this matter was just a guess. The seventh lady told the second lady, but she didn't tell Xu Fengjia.After all, the fourth young lady is just a symbol to the second lady, but to Xu Fengjia, she is her fourth sister-in-law anyway.

The second lady shook the hand of the seventh lady again, then turned around and smiled politely at Xu Fengjia, and took the little prince into the sedan chair.

When Xu Fengjia returned to the house, he had a little doubt on his face. He asked Seventh Lady, "What did you say to Second Sister today? I see that Second Sister's face looks very serious."

Seventh Lady's heart tightened.

According to the past, of course she would not tell Xu Fengjia about this, but after that night, she has been trying her best to share the secret in her heart with Xu Fengjia.The relationship between the two couples has indeed been greatly improved because of this.

But is it appropriate to tell Xu Fengjia about this matter?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Qiniangzi's mind. She shook her head and said honestly, "There are some things that you are not suitable to know."

A shadow suddenly passed over Xu Fengjia's face, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is it about Fourth Aunt?"

Qin Niangzi knew that he had misunderstood, so she made the mistake and said, "In short, it's the grievance between our women's family. You know, it's hard to do."

Xu Fengjia already knew a lot about the past, even Brother Jiu didn't know half as much as him.With his cleverness, he can already guess that besides the eldest wife, there are many shady hands behind Jiu Yiniang's death. Even the eunuch's vague connection with Jiu Yiniang may not be countless in his mind.

But for many things, it is always better to have a layer of window paper covered than to be pierced.

This time, Xu Fengjia hesitated for a while, but finally swallowed the words in his mouth, and just touched the top of Qiniangzi's head.

"You still have to take care of yourself and don't spend too much effort."

Although he is already a mature young man, he always speaks in a somewhat sloppy way as he usually speaks without changing the habits of the dandies in the capital.But this sentence was said very sincerely by Xu Fengjia, with a bit of heartfelt regret and love.

Seventh Lady suddenly felt warm in her heart, and she listened to Xu Fengjia continued, "I think, even if your biological mother is underground, I would prefer to see you happy and happy..."

Unexpectedly, there was a trace of worry in his words.

Seventh Lady didn't blame him.

Xu Fengjia is not a saint, nor is she her puppet, of course he has his own considerations and tendencies, no matter how bad the eldest wife is to Qin Niangzi, she is also Xu Fengjia's aunt.Since she was a child, although her kindness to Xu Fengjia cannot be said to have no other purpose, at least this friendship has been cultivated.

If it was just because she married her that Xu Fengjia would turn her face and deny anyone, and help herself to hate the eldest wife, that would be too unreasonable.

That's why, when it comes to this matter, Xu Fengjia has always made it clear to himself that he still hopes that the two sides will not go to the point where they will tear each other apart.And vaguely implying that Qin Niangzi's quarrel with her mother's family is too stiff, and there is not much benefit for her.

Why did Seven Lady not understand what Xu Fengjia meant?
How to deal with the eldest wife and how to deal with the elder, Seventh Lady herself has no answer.

The one who carried Brother Jiu to the eldest wife's house was still the elder after all. Although he didn't directly attack Jiu Yiniang, when he sent Jiu Yiniang's biggest barrier to the eldest wife's yard, he had already sentenced Jiu Yiniang probation.Just taking revenge on the eldest wife and letting the elder lightly go, seems to be suspected of bullying.
