"Second sister... has lived alone outside for many years and has a strong personality." Meng Yan's voice was very slow: "Actually, the second sister is also an ordinary person. Just like what mother-in-law said, the top scholar in the village, the concubine, etc., before the first prize in the village or the first prize or the concubine was selected, they were just a talented man with a reputation, and the beauties from all over the country, and in the eyes of most people, Yancheng is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with talented men and beautiful women gathered together. It is difficult to have talent and reputation overwhelm everyone, or a beautiful woman who is beautiful in the world. In addition, marrying a wife and seeking talent is not just about appearance. Unlike the talented man who can make a few amazing songs and sing for a while, most women from wealthy families do not go out of the door, and there is no great reputation or reputation before getting married. When getting married, they are all suitable girls, and those who are destined to become husband and wife."

The second sister is a concubine daughter and grew up alone in the countryside, which can't be hidden from others. Many people know that Meng Yan has no intention of hiding.

"Oh!" Yang seemed to have suddenly realized, "I thought I was like the royal family's choice of concubines, and after layers of screening."

"There are also some of this, such as princesses, many of them are recommended by local ladies, and famous ladies from local families." Meng Yan told the story as if she was telling a story.

"Is there any difference?" Yang looked very curious.

Meng Yan said: "I don't know much about the specifics. It probably has something to do with the method of selecting the Imperial Heavenly Prison. The situation is different every year. After all, the prince's choice of concubines is very important... It seems that five years ago, the old empress dowager in the palace was sick. Some court officials suggested that the palace hold a wedding ceremony and celebrate the wedding, so they asked the two princes to marry at the same time. The princess and concubines were selected from the local area, and most of the time they were the daughters of court officials... By the way, the sixth prince's concubine is the Princess Xiangshan of the Meng clan. To make the two countries, there are also relatives of the queen mother and concubine."

Yang once again showed a knowledgeable expression, and then hesitatedly asked: "Does the royal relatives choose concubines? Do you want... the legitimate daughter?"

"This is natural, how can the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children be overcome?" Meng Yan looked serious.

"Then your second sister... I heard that your second sister is a illegitimate child." Yang said this. Then he quickly added, "I heard from others."

"That's probably a rumor." Meng Yan said dismissively, "My second sister is born."

If Yang didn't ask, she wouldn't say that, but Yang asked, she didn't know Yang's purpose, so she wanted to make a break. She didn't follow Yang's meaning, otherwise she wouldn't know if Yang had any traps waiting for her.

Yang couldn't speak, how could she make a mistake? Everyone said that during the wedding banquet, and said that the concubine who was raised in the country was so blessed. So many guests said that. Is there still falsehood? He wanted to question it, but Meng Yan said so, and she really wanted to expose her lies, which made her angry and embarrassed. She didn't get any advantage, so she could only be embarrassed.

At this time, Meng Yan's dowry maid Fuling came in. After bowing, he said, "Mrs. Second Young Master, the wife of the 17th Master in the clan sent some wild game here and asked you if you have nothing to do tomorrow, would you like to sit at her house?"

Meng Yan first looked at Yang. She had the intention to ask for instructions.

Yang said, "The sister-in-law of the Seventeenth Master is very enthusiastic. She has a son who has not liked Xiwen since she was a child and only likes martial arts. She goes up the mountain to make some wild game from time to time and often sends her to the tribe to try it out. Since she invites you, it doesn't matter if you have nothing to do, it doesn't matter."

Meng Yan nodded and ordered Fuling, "The person who sent the message back said that I will definitely pass by noon tomorrow."

Poria received the order and left.

Meng Yan smiled and asked again, "I don't know what this seventeenth aunt likes. It's hard to go home empty-handed when I'm a guest at someone else's house."

Yang thought for a while: "Seventeenth sister-in-law is nothing. She likes whatever you give. Her daughter-in-law has a grandson. If she gives some things for the child, she might be even happier."

Meng Yan wrote it down, and after thinking about it, she had been chatting for a while, so she said goodbye to the house of Master Shiqi to prepare a gift to go to Master Shiqi tomorrow.

After Meng Yan left, Yang sighed secretly.

This is another tricky person. On the surface, he looks easy to speak and has a respectful attitude, but just as the concubine said that, he tested his character.

She thought for a while before she figured it out that it was not necessarily a lie to say that the Princess Ding was a legitimate wife, but she should be recorded in the name of her legitimate mother. In this way, she could also be called a legitimate wife. She could not refute it on the surface. Fortunately, she did not ask questions just now, otherwise she would be here and would not be able to take it back as soon as she said it. This would be embarrassing.

...

Dingwang Mansion here.

Yue Jiao's condition is really bad, her skin is dull and yellow, and she looks extremely thin.

The nanny in the mansion followed the princess' instructions and tried to take care of Yuejiao as much as possible. She used the best medicine to treat the princess. In addition, while the imperial doctor in the palace was taking the princess' pulse, she also looked at Yuejiao. After all, she was from the palace.

The imperial physician said that Yue Jiao was not good at eating and was hungry. In addition, she had spots in her skin, so she used too much inferior powder and was slightly poisoned.

Madam Qing checked the maid who had dealt with Yue Jiao and learned that the powder used by Yue Jiao was all bought by someone else. The mother deducted a little money in private, so the one she bought was naturally the worst. In addition, Yue Jiao used to use the best in the palace before, so she suddenly came into contact with this powder. She was not used to it, and the spots were naturally more serious than others.

Madam Qing severely punished the maids who had passed the secretly. She had nothing to do with Yue Jiao, and only comforted her to take care of her illness and not worry about money.

In addition, I was afraid that the little maids would not take good care of them, so I specially asked Yuejiao to move to the outer courtyard where Yue'e lives and asked Yue'e to take care of her personally, giving Yue'e and Chun's wife an extra monthly payment as the cost of taking care of Yuejiao. In addition, some precious medicinal materials can also be collected directly from the warehouse in the mansion.

Such care cannot be said to be inappropriate, and even Yue Jiao can't say anything.

After the nannies and maids of the royal palace left, Yuejiao looked at Yue'e's red face and a happy face. Compared to her skinny and freckled look, she couldn't help but cry.

Yue'e waited for Yuejiao to cry enough, then she cleaned her messy hair for her and comforted her: "Don't be sad, the imperial physician said that the spots on your face are only temporary and will retreat in the future. Then she will take care of her well. If she is well maintained, she will still be like before."

"How could it be the same..." Yue Jiao was very sad. The imperial physician said that it would take half a year to completely eliminate her spot at the earliest. This is still a good situation. If the situation is not good, some traces may still be left. It will never disappear. What hope does she have in her life?

Yue'e looked at Yuejiao and said slowly: "Yuejiao, we are all from the palace, we should watch over each other and be like sisters, right?"

Yue Jiao nodded repeatedly.

Yue'e said again: "Then I will advise you again. Stop thinking about it anymore. Now this may be a blessing in disguise. No one will pay attention to you anymore. You can take care of yourself first. I ask Brother Sheng to inquire. I will also find a good family for you. I heard that many young guards in the mansion have not married. If you like handsome people, let's find the most handsome one. Do you think it's good?"

An ordinary guard, Yue Jiao remembered Prince Ding's handsome and illegal face. She bit her lower lip tightly. No matter how handsome the ordinary guard is, can she be more handsome than the prince?

Seeing her like this, Yue'e knew that she was still not giving up and sighed. She didn't persuade her, and she left time to think clearly.

I wanted to come to the mansion to move Yuejiao to her yard to recuperate. One reason was that I was afraid that people would gossip and said that the royal family was not well-careful, and the other reason was that I wanted Yuejiao to see how she was doing now and try to let Yuejiao think clearly.

The prince is about to rush to the border. I don’t know when I will come back. When I come back, the princess has already given birth. Who will remember a little palace maid like her?

In addition, although few people in the mansion talk about the harem, they occasionally heard some rumors that the emperor's favorite is Yao Guiren, who has just entered the palace. This Yao Guiren used to be just a palace maid in the washing clothes bureau. For some reason, he had the opportunity to meet the emperor and let the emperor take a fancy to him. He was promoted several levels in a few days, and turned from a palace maid to a noble person. If he worked hard, he would not be far from being a concubine.

Concubine Yang couldn't take care of herself, how could she take care of them?

Fortunately, I planned it early, otherwise the harem would be in a change and Concubine Yang would really lose power completely. They would not get married and could only be left in a corner and ignored them.

...

In the main courtyard.

Su Yiqing looked at Lian Yufeng with her big belly, and a faint sadness appeared on her face.

She is not a person who ignores the overall situation. She just needs to go to the border when she is erect and is about to give birth. How can this make people feel at ease?

Lian Yufeng held Su Yiqing's hand tightly and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I've prepared everything. I'm holding heavy troops in my hand and going to the border to guard it. Your safety is especially important. The Lord of the Lord will not let you get into the palace. I have told the Lord of the Lord that you are weak and should not move. You will not be allowed to enter the palace before you have a safe delivery."

Su Yiqing also understood that the concubines in the harem had different thoughts, and it was inevitable that no one would take advantage of the situation to do something. The emperor also knew that he would not cause trouble at this time. He would have to take hostages and be safe for the mother and son to be effective.

But others understand better that if something happens to her at this time, it will be a good thing for many people and a good thing that can shake the morale of the army.

The emperor couldn't even protect his favorite concubine, what could he guarantee her?

Is it safe to have a Dingwang Mansion without a backbone? This is unlikely.

But it cannot be changed at this time, and she cannot say anything. She just hopes that the man in front of her can come back as soon as possible, and there is no war at the border, and she will just pass by peacefully.

Although she knew it was just comforting herself.

Lian Yufeng looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking, saying, "You really don't have to think too much. Believe me, it's okay."

"I believe in you." Su Yiqing smiled reluctantly and said to herself, I believe in you, but I don't believe in her own luck. Her luck is really a bit confusing. No matter what she does, things can always develop in the worst direction.

"I actually let her take over the position of the new favorite Yao Guiren in the palace." Lian Yufeng pondered for a moment and said such a secret matter.

Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and said softly: "You don't need to tell me these things."

Some secrets, if you know that they have no help to you, will bring danger. She really doesn't understand why Lian Yufeng told her, is it because she wants her to ask for help from Guiren Yao if she has something to do? The harem is changing, how long can Guiren Yao be favored? If there is something, I still don't know who asked for help from whom.

"You misunderstood that Yao Guiren is not mine." Lian Yufeng explained softly, "Involving people in the harem, especially concubines, is a taboo in the palace. The emperor is not a dedicated person at once, and it is easy to get tired of the old and get tired of the old. Arrangement of a beauty to seduce him is not the best strategy. What I did was just to secretly pay attention to what outstanding beauties in the remote places in the harem. Arrange a chance to meet the emperor. As for whether they can be favored, whoever can be attracted by the emperor depends on their own ability."

Su Yiqing was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you need to do this in vain?"

Since Yao Guiren is not his person and will not do things or speak for him, why should he take the risk of doing such things? As long as he is determined to do it, he may be easily noticed if he does too much.

"Concubine Yang has malicious intentions towards you. If you keep her alone in the harem, you will not be safe." A sharp look flashed in Lian Yufeng's eyes when he said this. Concubine Yang is not stupid, but women are women after all, with limited knowledge and are easily influenced by others.

Concubine Yang, Su Yiqing thought for a moment and asked, "Is she not like me because... her sister-in-law, County Lord Xiuwen?"

Apart from this, she couldn't think of other reasons why Concubine Yang would make things difficult for her, but in theory, she could not have been so stupid as to kill her in the consequences. How could she be so stupid that she stood up for the county lord Xiuwen and cause trouble for herself? Being an enemy of her is to be an enemy of Prince Ding's Mansion. A little Concubine Yang doesn't even have a son, so how could she have the courage?

"So women have long hair and short knowledge, and often do things that harm others and are not good for themselves." Lian Yufeng lightly brought up this question, obviously he didn't want to answer.

But Su Yiqing is also a smart person, and she can figure it out after thinking about it a little.

If County Lord Xiuwen told Yang Fei directly that this woman is my enemy and you can vent my anger, then Yang Fei will never pay attention to her unless she is thrust in her brain.

If she was the lord of Xiuwen, she would secretly suggest Concubine Yang. If Prince Ding had no children, she would be much more at ease. However, the emperor was a wise ruler and would definitely not do anything to cut off the offspring. But if there was a concubine who could secretly solve this matter for the emperor, the emperor would definitely be happy.

After that, Concubine Yang made a fuss, the emperor might really show this tendency.

But Concubine Yang didn't dare to offend King Ding, so she didn't do it too much. She just gave away two palace maids, and didn't even explain what the palace maid was going to do. You can tell from Yue'e's hurry to find a way out for herself.

Pregnant women are easily stimulated, especially when it is rumored that they are not stable in their relationship. A little stimulation may cause serious consequences. This little responsibility is not enough to make Concubine Yang angry. If it succeeds, it is equivalent to a mental illness for the emperor. The emperor clearly cannot reward him, but there will definitely be some compensation behind his back. (To be continued ~^~)
