Step on a branch

Chapter 40
The night gradually enveloped the Shuning Palace.

Yuan Nanny got up, first lit the oil lamp, and put on the cover.

A series of actions calmed her pounding heart a little, and then she returned to Concubine Shun.

"Your Majesty, whether to stay or not depends on which one you want to be your daughter-in-law." Yuan Nanny said.

Concubine Shun couldn't help but stop breathing.

Nanny Yuan continued to speak.

Instead of thinking about it in your heart, it is better to say it.

The more you talk, the clearer your thinking will be.

It is better for their master and servant to analyze together than to ponder alone.

"If you insist on taking the eldest girl from the Marquis of Yongning's mansion as the second concubine, then the stomach of the Duke of Anguo's mansion will definitely not be kept," Yuan Nanny said slowly, "Just look at the emperor, if the emperor doesn't like the queen, His Highness is still the queen's descendant.

After the empress gave birth to His Royal Highness, it will be your empress and other concubines.

If the person from the Jin family is on the sidelines, there is absolutely no reason to give birth to a son before the concubine gives birth to a prince.

Only the one in An Guogong's mansion is the main concubine, and the child can be kept.

But if that’s the case, at the Yongninghou Mansion…”

"It has nothing to do with me there," Concubine Shun continued, with a helpless smile, "The Marquis of Yongning has a bad temper, and he made his granddaughter a Taoist nun on the mountain year after year, but he wouldn't let her be a side concubine. To be the daughter-in-law of the royal family. But, having said that, Qi'er made such a fuss, and I begged the Qin family not to ruin the marriage, will Marquis Yongning agree to it?"

Even after many years, Concubine Shun still remembers clearly.

At that time, when she first proposed to marry Qin Luan for Zhao Qi, what was the attitude of Marquis Yongning?

The Marquis of Yongning was expecting to go to war, so he opened his mouth in the imperial study and said, "Concubine Shun cursed the old minister to die in battle".

Later, if Qin Luan was not seriously ill, the Qin family would not be willing to accept the marriage contract at all.

"The Qin family has military achievements, and the Marquis of Yongning is not young, but he is still able to fight," Concubine Shun murmured, "The court is not peaceful, and there is no shortage of brave generals.

If there is no trouble, no matter whether Marquis Yongning wants to be in-law with the emperor or not, the marriage can go on.

Rather...

Taking advantage of this turmoil, the Qin family insisted on not accepting the marriage, even the emperor could not force the Qin family. "

Yuan Nanny held Concubine Shun's hand: "You are right, after marrying a hero under such circumstances, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."

"We can't marry by force, we don't want to keep the girl from the Jin family," Concubine Shun shook her head in distress, "It's really a chicken-and-egg fight, nothing, nothing."

Hearing what she said, Nanny Yuan sighed accompanying her: "Look, you understand quite well in your heart."

"It's all about judging the situation." Concubine Shun lowered her eyes.

Living in the harem, if you don't understand these four words, you don't even know where your life is.

She can have the scenery today, so she naturally has such a practice.

Close the door and scold in anger, be patient, and make the most suitable choice regardless of likes or dislikes.

"Nurse Yuan," Concubine Shun smiled bitterly, "I just don't want to part with that phoenix life! She resigned from Qi'er's marriage, and in the future..."

"Ma'am," Yuan Nanny gritted her teeth, "do you really believe that?"

Concubine Shun was slightly taken aback.

Seeing her reaction, Nanny Yuan was extremely embarrassed.

The empress is reluctant, how can she, Yuanmao, be willing?
The beauty of the nanny is linked to the future of the master!

Isn't her mother Yuan's biggest expectation these years to assist the empress to become the empress dowager?
However, the hope of holding the luan bird in his hand has been shattered!
Instead of brooding and obsessing over it, it is better to lie to yourself that you don't care.

Better than being unhappy, right?

Even against her will, Nanny Yuan had to persuade Concubine Shun: "The master who gave orders back then has long since disappeared, except for their Yongning Houfu, who knows what the master said.

The news came out, not necessarily because of the intention of the Qin family, but the three of them became tigers, and you talked to each other, and it ended up like this.

According to this servant girl, the emperor is also skeptical. If she really marries the girl, she will become a golden dragon. Will it be our Highness' turn?
The emperor has been dissatisfied with His Royal Highness these years, but back then, he still valued the eldest son.

Whether it is a phoenix or not is still unknown, but the one in the stomach of the girl in the An Guogong's mansion is not the eldest grandson of the emperor, but also the eldest granddaughter of the emperor, it is a certainty! "

Concubine Shun nodded thoughtfully.

Yuan Nanny continued: "It still depends on what the emperor decides. Since you know it well, if the emperor asks, you can give a comprehensive answer."

Concubine Shun snorted: "It's cheaper for her!"

The girl from An Guogong's mansion is also a hero, even if she doesn't know the rules, she can't treat her badly on the surface.

Furthermore, if she is forced to be the side, which girl will be the first wife in the future?
There are not many girls whose status can overwhelm Jin Shu'er, those few, what are they doing to get involved?

The more Concubine Shun thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and the more dissatisfied she was with Jin Shu'er: "It's just that Qi'er is ignorant and can be coaxed around by her!"

Lanterns hung high.

It was the busiest time of the day in the capital.

When Zhao Qi thought of the reaction of his father and mother, he panicked, greeted the Weng family brothers, and went to Guixianglou together.

After being scolded, can't you have a delicious meal?
The hot grilled fish was served, some excellent side dishes, and a jar of good wine.

Wine can dispel sorrow, Zhao Qi drinks one after another.

The smell of alcohol rose, and he was cursing.

He didn't dare to scold his father and mother concubine, and he couldn't bear to say that Jin Shu'er was the fault of the Yongning Hou Mansion.

For some reason, what kind of banquet is held in the Duke's Mansion of Anguo? Doesn't their Qin family have a garden?
After going to so many old ladies, only her, Mrs. Hou, is the most popular and can make friends?

That native chicken, don't just go there in Dao uniform, in front of all the old ladies, it's not ashamed to lose face!

Seeing the gentle and pleasant Jin Shu'er, she should know what is a sparrow and what is a swan, so please leave immediately...

Third Young Master Weng drank too much, his head was dizzy, and subconsciously said: "Please yourself? Didn't Marquis Yongning enter the palace to ask the emperor to give up the marriage?"

"What does he call self-invitation?" Zhao Qizhong patted the table again, "He bared his teeth and claws in front of the emperor! I'm so mad!"

In the private room next door, a piece of grilled fish was also served.

Huang Yi smelled the smell of fish, and picked up the chopsticks: "The fish is a good fish, but the place is annoying."

Lin Fan squeezed the wine cup in his hand and gave him a faint glance.

"You want to eat fish on a whim, so just eat it. I told the store to send it to the pharmacy, but you disagree." Huang Yi shook his head, "It's all right now, it's right next to them. Can't help but listen."

Guixianglou's business is good, and it is the time when it is noisy, and many voices are mixed together.

The neighbor next door probably drank a lot, and the voice was not low, separated by a wall, half of it was passed on, and half of it was hidden.

This is the worst!
In the corner, you either don’t listen to a word, or you listen to everything.

Only listen to half of it, and it's a trick!

"It's really not as good as mine, you can hear clearly and eat comfortably!" Huang Yi commented.

"The smell of medicine is strong, which affects appetite." Lin Fan picked up a piece of fish by himself, "It's very good here."
