Splendid concubine

Chapter 94 Trivia
Hearing these words, the old lady was already furious. She had always disliked the eldest lady. At this moment, she did not need any evidence at all to believe that it was the eldest lady who did it.

"In these years, she has been uncontrolled, and she has become more and more rampant. I don't know how to raise her. She is so proud and arrogant. There is not enough for her in the whole house. This hand is so long, she will cut it off sooner or later. Don't think her Zhao family can protect her shamelessly."

Thirsty from scolding, the old lady completely forgot her manners, and drank a few mouthfuls of tea, "Since Mr. Zhao died, their Zhao family has not had a single good thing, and they are still thinking about the legacy of their ancestors. Pooh."

Quickly poured tea for the old lady again, Liu Ruyi didn't speak, just stood in the hall and scolded the old lady.

"Dignified princess, are they also made low by them? Marry that sick young man? That sick young man will die at some point. If they let them succeed, you will be a widow in vain. Besides, the duke and wife are not alone. It's easy to get along with, with such a mother-in-law blocking it, can you still have a good life? Our family finally has such a daughter, who is better than those sons, so we can't just ruin it like this. "

The old lady said heartbrokenly: "Seeing that you are safe now, with these fortunes, my heart is at peace. I didn't expect you to have such a good vision, and the handkerchief handed over turned out to be a princess? I heard that you and Na Mu Zitan were sworn brothers." Sister? Yes or no?"

Seeing the light shining in the old lady's eyes, Liu Ruyi's thoughts of being close to the old lady, which had just been born not long ago, disappeared all of a sudden.

The old lady, in essence, is still the old lady who pursues power and status.

Seeing that Liu Ruyi didn't speak, the old lady continued: "Look at the current emperor's love for the princess, you don't have to worry about it in the future. If you have time to spare, pull and pull your sisters more."

Since there is no family relationship, why bother to talk about these things, although it is good to talk about power, Liu Ruyi's current status is enough for the old lady to value her.

Liu Ruyi immediately said obediently: "I think our fifth younger sister is smart and well-behaved. She is well-trained and her future is uncertain. Also, it is better for our family not to interfere with the marriage between grandmother, the second prince and His Royal Highness the prince." The marriage of the second prince has already been decided, if the emperor really refuses to say it, I don't dare to disobey the emperor's order, just tell grandma, grandma knows what she wants."

After hearing Liu Ruyi's words, the old lady was just thoughtful.After a while, he asked: "According to what you say, the second prince is more valued by the emperor?"

Not to mention, the old lady had thought about marrying her granddaughter to the second prince before.

Shaking her head, Liu Ruyi said seriously: "This granddaughter doesn't dare to speculate."

But looking at her eyes and face, the old lady affirmed in her heart that the emperor dotes on the second prince more, but the harem and the former dynasty are not very clear, and the old lady has been in the deep house for a long time, and she doesn't know what's going on in the harem. situation.

Speaking of which, the Liu family used to have concubines in the palace, the old lady's daughter and Liu Ren'an's younger sister, but later she died of dystocia in the harem, and the old lady never mentioned it.

"Now we have been borrowing the honor of the imperial concubine. I am afraid that the outside world has long regarded our granddaughter as a noble concubine who belongs to that school! Besides, the prince humiliated our eldest sister. I am afraid that the prince has a lot of opinions on us." This is already obvious. Liu Ren'an is still waiting and watching. It is normal for generals not to stand in line. It is rare for civil servants not to stand in line. Every time they stand in line, it is a gamble. Years, if you lose, you will be doomed.

Liu Ruyi didn't expect to convince the old lady once, but seeing that the old lady listened to it and thought about it, she was already very satisfied.

The old lady thought for a while, and then the topic went back, "Your future marriage will be decided by the emperor. I am not very worried, but I am worried that you have lost your mother since you were a child, and you are not very clear about the methods in the back house." Now the eldest lady is being attacked by me, Jiajia is still pregnant, and Aunt Li and Aunt Wan can't be counted on. I am also old and mentally weak. I will leave our affairs to you and let you take yours. Two sisters."

When Liu Ruyi heard this, she was a little ecstatic. If she were to be the housekeeper, she would be able to do a lot of things.

"By the way, there is one more thing. No one died at my natal home, so there is a grand-nephew who wants to come to live in the mansion. It hasn't arrived yet, and it will arrive in a few days. Then you will make arrangements , that little girl is not yet married, and just happens to be with your sisters. This is also the first major event for you as the head of the family, so you have to handle it well. Grandmother will host it herself."

Liu Ruyi pretended to be calm and complied with the old lady, and went back to her yard together. The surprise came so suddenly that she didn't know how to clean up her mood. When she went back to the yard and said, she immediately put Linglong's little girl The girl was so happy that she wished she could go out and shout all over the world.

Fortunately, Liu Ruyi quickly held her back and told her to keep a low profile.

Think about it, Liu Ruyi is not a stingy person, she took out a lot of hairpin jewelry from her dressing box, and gave them to the little maids around her.

Seeing that Linglong couldn't hold back anymore, she directed the little servant girl to move the flowers and plants in the yard around, and the other servant girls watched her fumbling around.

Let's go to Liu Jiaren's yard and talk.

Seeing Liu Ruyi coming, Liu Jiaren was bored watching the little girl trimming flowers and plants in the yard, she jumped off the chair, called her second sister, and hurried over, throwing herself into Liu Ruyi's arms, Liu Ruyi Quickly stopped her, panted and hugged her around, then joked with a light smile: "I didn't expect you to gain weight after only seeing each other for a few days."

Liu Jiaren was already fond of petites, so when she heard this, she pouted childishly, "It's because I've gained weight, it's because my second sister is sick, that's why she's weak and can't hold me."

"Okay, okay, you're right, I'm sick and can't hold you, look, what did I bring you?"

As he spoke, he motioned to Xiangyi who was following behind to bring the gift box over.

Liu Jiaren resisted not to look through it on the spot, but after a while she couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly opened the delicately carved wooden box.

When she saw that there were all her favorite hairpins and rings inside, she was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Here, these are all for me, Second Sister, you are so kind, I like Second Sister the most."

"Don't be too busy, there are still things for you to do, grandma said, let me learn to be a housekeeper, and bring you and Wanwan along the way."

Liu Ruyi tentatively mentioned it to Liu Jiaren. If she didn't like it, she would be happy and quiet, and it would be easier for her to act.

"The housekeeper has worked so hard. When I saw my mother's housekeeper, I was exhausted every day." Liu Jiaren pouted, frowning.

"Then, are you willing to be a housekeeper yourself? No matter what happens in the future, whoever you marry to be the eldest wife, as long as you learn how to be a housekeeper." Liu Ruyi explained the situation clearly, as for how to choose, it was Liu Jiaren's business.

Although she had a bitter face, Liu Jiaren nodded, indicating that she knew and was willing to follow the housekeeper.

After talking about this topic, Liu Ruyi changed the subject and talked about something else, "I haven't thanked you yet, but if you didn't react quickly that day, I'm afraid I'm going to have a big accident. Do you know that? Madam, what are you preparing for?"

Liu Jiaren was a little proud at first, but when she heard what Liu Ruyi said, she couldn't help frowning and thinking. Liu Ruyi said again: "Then Mrs. Guo wants to frame me and marry me as her daughter-in-law."

"Ah, the whole capital knows that her son is a sick child. Isn't she doing harm to others by doing this? She really thinks that the girl of our Xiangfu is easy to provoke." Liu Jiaren said angrily.

When she went to the Duke's mansion for a banquet, Liu Ruyi was already the head of the county, because she was a concubine, and Liu Jiaren was spoiled by the old lady, she never felt that being a concubine was so lowly, in her heart, there was Liu Ruyi, who has assumed the status of the county lord, is even more noble than Liu Xuanshuang. Don't be angry that she was designed to be a daughter-in-law in the Duke's mansion.

Expressed indignation that he was on the side of the second sister, and Liu Jiaren, the wife of the Duke, who was so bad, looked at Liu Ruyi, who had been smiling and looking at her, and touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed, so I have always said that it is not a lady's behavior.

Liu Ru advised her to keep her mouth shut, and then she said the third thing, "In the next few days, I won't be able to bring you into the palace. The Empress Dowager seems to dislike me and the new Princess Zitan very much. Take the edge of the queen mother, but I can bring the princess back to play with you."

The last time I met Mu Zitan, seeing how good Mu Zitan and second sister are on such a good relationship, and the second sister is someone I admire a little, Liu Jiaren's attitude towards Mu Zitan has improved a lot.

From Mu Zitan's point of view, she was already the second young lady who expressed friendliness to her.

Although, she is also a concubine.

This already made Liu Jiaren very happy, she was a princess, the only princess in this dynasty, the emperor and the noble concubine didn't get in touch very well, so it would be great to get in touch with the princess.

Liu Jiaren, who knew who was more useful since she was a child, hugged Liu Ruyi's neck and kept calling and kissing her second sister affectionately.

Liu Ruyi, who was calling, blushed a little, and finally pulled Liu Jiaren off her neck.

Regarding the matter of the old concubine and the queen mother, Liu Ruyi already had a general idea in mind.

Since the old queen dowager doesn't want to see her and the way forward is hindered, she should get rid of the queen mother. However, the queen dowager and the empress have deep foundations, and Liu Ruyi didn't expect to be able to do things that the emperor has been unable to do for so many years. However, the Empress Dowager's family can make good use of it.

The Empress Dowager's natal family were all military generals, and only a few of them became civil servants. Although they were high-ranking and powerful, compared with ordinary civil servants, they were not enough to see from afar, and they didn't understand the twists and turns between literati.

When Liu Ren'an came back in the evening, someone said that Liu Ruyi was waiting for her in the study. Liu Ren'an had infinite patience with her daughter who hadn't noticed at all before.
