concubine leisurely

Chapter 125

The next day, Princess Funing brought her eldest daughter-in-law, Fang Shi, into the palace.First, I joked with the Empress Dowager in Zhaoyang Hall for half a day, and then I went to Fengyi Hall, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a while, so I'll talk to her."

The queen mother smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is busy with the affairs of the palace, so don't bother her, just talk to my old lady." Princess Funing said angrily, "It's impossible to talk to my sister-in-law." ? You are really, Ganqing can only be with you?" The mother and daughter chatted and laughed a few times before the Queen Mother let them go.

Fang's family is obedient and stays with the queen mother.She was not an eloquent person, and she knew it herself, so she only picked interesting stories about her children, and the Queen Mother listened with great interest, "These children, Yan'er, are more mischievous than the other, and they are not as old-fashioned as their father." Ren Yan He is the eldest son, so he is naturally more mature and prudent.

"When Xiaolei is born, I don't know whether he will look like a father or a mother." When mentioning the youngest grandson, the queen mother became more and more interested. , "Good boy, you are the elder sister-in-law, you need to take care of your younger siblings." Fang hurriedly replied respectfully, "Yes!"

Princess Funing arrived at the Hall of Fengyi and talked to the queen about the family affairs for a long time. Seeing her gloomy expression, the queen thought she was doing it for Ren Woxing's affairs, so she dismissed everyone and said in a low voice, "If he is honest, it will be fine if he is called back to the mansion." Yes." The emperor and the queen mother are general thoughts, Ren Woxing is too arrogant and domineering, bullying Princess Funing, that is naturally not acceptable; but if Ren Woxing restrains himself, it is not a bad idea to let him return to the mansion, in short, it is all for Fu Ning Hello Princess Ning.

Princess Funing shook her head with a smile, "I already have several grandsons, why don't you think about it? Why do you want him to come back and ask for trouble?"

The queen saw that the sister-in-law's expression did not seem to be fake, and she became puzzled: Then what is she doing for it?Apart from Ren Woxing, Princess Funing should have no other worries.

"This child Yingying..." Princess Funing hesitated to speak.

The queen also smiled wryly.Ren Ying is the only daughter of Princess Funing. She is fourteen years old. The emperor personally bestowed the title of "Princess Qinghe". , she actually fell in love with the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince has not yet established a mansion, nor has he been crowned a prince.If you talk about cousins, they are a good match, but the fifth prince has great ambitions, and he wants to marry the daughter of an important minister and famous general.Princess Funing is honorable enough, but the Ren family has no military power.

Moreover, the eldest princess Funing and the queen's sister-in-law have suffered together for decades, and their relationship is extraordinary. She is a loyal princeling and only supports the eldest son.

"I've locked her up at home and won't let her go out to cause trouble," Princess Funing said distressedly, "Mother kept asking why Yingying didn't come with me, and it took me a lot of effort to cover it up. Sister-in-law, how can I think about it?" The only way is to let Xiao Wu take over as soon as possible." After the fifth prince left, Ren Ying gave up.

"What the younger sister said is that," the queen agreed, "if Xiao Wu was ordered to become a vassal earlier, we Yingying will be fine. Yingying is still young, let's calm down the matter first, after two years of silence, slowly pick and choose .”

"Brother doesn't allow us to interfere in political affairs," Elder Princess Funing was very helpless, "If we speak up, it would be bad. Sister-in-law, please think of a way." She is not a princess with political talents.

"Originally, civil servants are available," the queen said concentratingly, "but there are too many memorials from civil servants, and the emperor doesn't care about them. Now, according to my sister-in-law, it's either Concubine Jing or King Wu."

Princess Funing was slightly surprised when she heard the Queen's detailed explanation, "Brother doesn't allow us to interfere in political affairs, how can Concubine Jing?" A concubine in the palace actually said the words that made the prince fall in love, and nothing happened.

"She talked about the child in her womb, and said that for the sake of the child in her womb, she needed the Ning family to keep their place and the fifth prince to keep his role. The emperor had nothing to say." The queen frowned slightly.

"Brother, what do you think?" Princess Funing asked in a low voice.The queen just shook her head, "I don't know. How do we know about the important matter of reserve position?"

"The crown prince has already been established." Princess Funing couldn't figure it out, the crown prince had already been established, what else would the emperor brother want to toss about?

The queen did not speak.Since ancient times, there are very few people who are established as princes but cannot inherit the great position.

"Sister-in-law must find a solution as soon as possible." Princess Funing confessed before parting, she was worried, she couldn't keep her daughter locked up, her heart ached.

Princess Funing returned to Zhaoyang Palace, and the Queen Mother did not let their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the palace until it was almost dark. After parting, they held hands and confessed, "Come into the palace if there is nothing to do, and bring Yingying with you. And Xiaolei, tell him, grandmother Miss him."

Princess Funing returned to her mansion, and happily took it out holding her big belly, with tears on her face, "What's wrong?" Princess Funing asked Xinran.

"It's okay, it's okay, my sister is not making trouble." Xin Ran said hastily.

Princess Funing lowered her face and went to Ren Ying's boudoir. "What are you making trouble about? Your fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, and she doesn't even know how to love her!"

Ren Ying shouted, "I don't care about her, who told her to stop me? What is she, dare to stop me?"

"She is your sister-in-law! Why can't you control you?" Princess Funing trembled with anger.Ren Ying was the youngest, so she was rather spoiled; Ren Ying was only seven or eight years old when the emperor came to the throne, the queen mother and the emperor spoiled her and spoiled her, but she became so willful when she grew up.

"I don't care! I want to see my fifth cousin!" Ren Ying stomped her feet and lost her temper.No one can coax, nor can it be frightened.They made noise until night, and when they were exhausted, they fell asleep.In her sleep, she also dreamed of her coquettish, unparalleled fifth cousin, dressed in a long gown, standing under the flower tree and playing the flute for her. .

Princess Funing had a splitting headache.Ren Lei said dejectedly, "I can't beat, scold, or coax me. I really have nothing to do. If it wasn't a family scandal, I would go to my father-in-law for advice." The father-in-law's daughters taught each one very well.

Ren Yan and his wife are in favor of strict discipline in their hearts, but it is hard to say it out, they just keep silent.

Xin Ran rolled her eyes, "Mother, I have an idea, mother, let me hear whether it is feasible or not." He whispered a few words into Princess Funing's ear.

Princess Funing contemplated for a while, then nodded, "It's possible. Xiner will do it." She bowed her head happily and said, "Yes."

After returning to the room, Ren Lei asked, "Xiao Xin, tell me, what is your idea." Xin Ran raised her head proudly, "I can't say it, I can't say it."

Seeing Ren Lei sticking his fingers into his mouth, wanting to tickle, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll say, I'll say." Laughing, she fell into her husband's arms and whispered in his ear.Ren Lei happily said, "My wife is so smart!"

Pingbeihou Mansion.

"Fourth sister is going back to the capital for the New Year? This is great. Daddy can see his precious daughter and granddaughter." You Ran was also happy when she heard that An Ran was coming back.An Ran is a worry-free and good girl, she never seems to cause trouble, never causes trouble.Very understanding.

Meng Lai sighed, "That's good. It would be even better if your eldest sister could come back." The eldest daughter lived in Guangzhou for a long time and hadn't seen each other for several years.

"Parents love their children for the long term," leisurely began to write, "Parents, knowing that their children are doing well, feel at ease. The eldest sister is living a fairy life in Guangzhou, and my father should be happy for her." Yueran is in Guangzhou, without the control of her parents-in-law, husband and wife get along well, have sons and daughters, which is actually very good.

"At the beginning, we should try to let her parents-in-law go back to Guangzhou, and Yue'er stay in the capital." Meng Lai said bitterly.

This is too difficult.Youran really wants to look up to the sky and sigh, poor father loves his daughter so much.

Sure enough, An Ran's family returned to the capital just before the Chinese New Year. Meng Lai saw her three-month-old granddaughter, A Jing, and held her in her arms.

The little girl Ajing already knew how to recognize people, but now she was quietly lying in her grandfather's arms, obediently motionless, staring at Menglai with her two pitch-black eyes.

"Normally, except for me, I don't give hugs to people. Others cry when they are hugged." An Ran stood beside Meng Lai, and said with a smile, "Now An An let you hug her, which shows that she recognizes her grandfather." She lowered her head to tease her daughter, " Ah Jing said, isn’t it?”

Ah Jing looked at An Ran for a while, then grinned with a small toothless mouth.

"She smiled, it's so beautiful." Meng Lai was overjoyed, and Meng Zhengxuan and others also gathered around to watch, "It really looks like her mother, cute and cute."

Li Ze watched from the side with a smile.The Meng family is really good, An Ran is a concubine daughter, and she is so valued when she brings her children back to her mother's house.The father-in-law hugged Ah Jing like a rare treasure, and let his child's father see it in his eyes, and his heart was moved.

"Is it cold?" An Ran stared blankly and asked her husband in a low voice.Li Ze smiled, "It's not cold, it's like spring." It was warm.

The husband and wife took the child to see Aunt Du again. Aunt Du hugged Ah Jing, she was so happy that she shed tears, "Look, this little appearance is really painful." Carefully, she put a longevity lock on the On the child's neck, "long life, peace and security."

An Ran also wanted to cry, but she just smiled and said, "Our Ah Jing made a small fortune today." Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, aunt, everyone had gifts, and Ah Jing was covered with all kinds of auspicious decorations. Gold lock, silver lock, longevity lock.

"Go back quickly," Aunt Du hurriedly said, "I am satisfied after seeing the child. There is still a banquet ahead, don't let everyone wait for you."

"Daddy told me to stay with you for a while longer." An Ran couldn't hold back her tears and shed tears, "He has already arranged everything, don't worry about it."

Li Ze saw his beloved wife hugging his birth mother and weeping, he was impulsive and said, "Let's take my aunt away."

Aunt Du waved her hands again and again, "I can't do it, I can't do it."

An Ran wiped away her tears, and laughed at the other end, "There's nothing you can do. The Li family is about to split up, and we'll pick you up when we do." Seeing that Aunt Du was about to decline, An Ran stopped her with a single sentence: "You I don’t want to see Ah Jing every day.”

The Meng family was very happy that day, even the Zhong family was all smiling.The good sister waited for a few children to discover a new toy, and it was not enough to look around Ah Jing.It was Ji Yun who came over and ordered them to break up, "My sister is still young, I will play with you when I grow up."

New Year is coming.Old relatives and relatives, giving gifts back and forth, are very busy.On this day, An Ran and his wife went back to Meng's house to give a gift, and there were several relatives there; the men were drinking in the front hall, and the women were in the back hall; An Ran left the banquet halfway, and stood silently in the forest alone.

A beautiful man stumbled over, obviously drunk.Even when he was drunk, his description was still so beautiful.An Ran only felt heartache, very painful, as if it was about to explode.

The man's eyes were hazy, his expression was childlike and cute, and he murmured, "Cousin, so you are here." An Ran softly said, "Fifth cousin, are you here too?"
