Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

No matter how the officials and family members outside guessed, they only dared to talk about it in private.

Arriving at the palace two days later, all the officials in the capital and the female relatives of the princes and ministers' families are all delicate and expensive, and the journey of these two days is not light.

When they reached the ground one by one, they didn't bother to gossip about the royal family's private affairs anymore, they were only busy settling down to rest.

The accommodation has been arranged long ago, and the people who often drive with them have bought Zhuangzi to stay near here.

The closer Zhuangzi is to the palace, the higher or lower the official rank is.

The family of officials who are not well-to-do, those who have face, live in the place arranged by the emperor; those who are not very face, can rent a small courtyard with other people far away, and they can get by.

Xun Jinyuan is regarded as the new celebrity in front of the emperor, so he naturally has a well-arranged yard.

It's not far or close to the palace, but it suits his current position.

The two yards are not too big, but it is extremely rare for them to live alone.

Someone should have cleaned it before, and it was fairly clean.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly arranged for servants, cleaned it up again, and arranged for people to go shopping, otherwise the whole family would not know where dinner was.

Fortunately, the nun sent by the Yuan family came to remind me. According to what she said, I found a place to buy materials very quickly. Firewood, rice, flour, grain and oil were delivered quickly.

As for water, there is a small well in the yard, and there is a river not far outside, and the water is just drawn from the river on weekdays.

The yards of these small villages are all scattered around the Xinggong. There are mountains, lakes and rivers in the distance, and the trees are flourishing. Compared with the capital city, it is indeed much cooler.

In addition to the more mosquitoes at night, the wind blows into the house and it is cool. You don't need to put an ice basin, and you can sleep peacefully.

For the nobles of the capital in bitter summer, it is indeed more comfortable than staying in the capital.

Even Mrs. Xu, lying on the bed at night, couldn't help sighing: "No wonder the late emperor used to come here every year to escape the summer heat! It's really cool and comfortable here! It's not like in the capital, where summer is like a steamer, and winter is like an ice cellar!"

After the Xu family followed Xun Jinyuan into the capital, everything else was fine. They couldn't adapt to the climate anyway.

I didn't know it before, but I had to buy a lot of ice every summer to survive.

That ice is very precious in summer, if she hadn't had a lot of private house, she really couldn't bear it.

Xun Jinyuan echoed a few words, turned over and fell asleep, and had to rush to the palace tomorrow, so he couldn't miss the time.

Yes, that's right!Even if you arrive at the palace, you still have to go to court!
Xu muttered a few words, and fell asleep in the cool evening breeze.

But at the moment, the palace is brightly lit.

Mu Tianlan, no, it's Chu Tianlan now, and the surname of Da Jin is Chu. As for the name, it was originally named according to the royal family's seniority, so only the surname was changed back.

Chu Tianlan looked unhappy, and was looking at a letter in his hand. A guard in black was kneeling on the ground below, listening to Hou's orders.

Hearing the first sentence, the young emperor's tone was full of complaints: "Brother is really good at joining in the fun! No matter how I called him back before, he didn't come back, and he looked like he was going to die of old age in Nanzhou. Now it's good, let's catch up! Are you coming back? Based on the time, I’m afraid we’ll all be in the capital, right?”

The black-clothed guards below didn't dare to look up, wishing they could be deaf.

Hearing the last sentence, he cautiously replied: "Your Majesty, according to His Royal Highness King Qi's itinerary and time, I'm afraid he will be able to arrive at the palace tomorrow—"

Chu Tianlan smiled, waved his hand, and signaled the guard to go down.

Holding the letter for a while, he stood up and ordered: "Show me—"

The personal manager who was waiting outside hurriedly came in to wait after giving orders.

As Chu Tianlan's personal chief eunuch, without Chu Tianlan's instructions, he could tell where he was going with just one look.

Signaling seven or eight young eunuchs to come ahead with lanterns, he followed Chu Tianlan and filed out of the palace, followed naturally by eunuchs and guards.

Under the night, although the beautiful scenery of the palace is not very clear, the evening breeze comes slowly, carrying the water vapor from the lake and the fragrance of the grass and trees on the shore of the lake, making it clear for the eyes and ears.

Walking on the stone road, the sound of frogs and cicadas can be heard from time to time in the distance.

A crescent moon hangs, and countless stars are sprinkled on the black sky like silver sand.

Chu Tianlan couldn't help but stop and watch for a while.

Only then slowly walked through the flowers and through the forest, and turned a few more turns, before arriving at the destination.

This is the closest palace garden to the main palace, very quiet and elegant.

In the past, the empress dowager lived here, it was quiet and close to the emperor, not to mention very safe, if anything happened, the emperor would be there immediately.

Moreover, it is far away from the place where the concubine lives, which also saves the concubine from bothering her.

At this moment, the palace garden is also brightly lit. Although the palace people are busy, they are not chaotic, and they are performing their duties.

The young lady guarding the door heard the sound of the whip, and saw the little eunuch holding a lantern, and immediately knelt by the door to welcome the emperor.

Someone has already gone inside to report.

After a while, a woman in her 20s came out to greet her.

Under the bright light, who is not Shen Jiayan?

When the two entered the room, Shen Jiayan wanted to salute Chu Tianlan, but was stopped by Chu Tianlan.

He handed the letter in his hand to her: "Brother has sent a letter, saying that he has returned to the capital. Counting the days, he should arrive tomorrow."

Shen Jiayan took the letter but didn't open it, just put it aside, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty's big wedding, His Royal Highness Qi Wang, as an elder brother, will naturally go back to the capital to congratulate him. I wonder if there is a letter from Princess Zhaohua?"

Thinking of Chu Yue, Chu Tianlan's face softened a lot: "Emperor Sister wrote a letter before, saying that she sent a nephew to congratulate her. Now the entire Qi Kingdom cannot leave the Emperor Sister. When the Emperor Sister got married, I still thought about it." One day I will be able to take Huang Jie home, and our family will be reunited."

"I never thought about it, but this has become an extravagant wish! I'm afraid it will be difficult for us brothers and sisters to meet again in our lifetime!"

Speaking of this, even Shen Jiayan had to click his tongue.

No one would have imagined that Princess Zhaohua, who was married to Qi State at the beginning, is now the regent queen of Qi State, with great power!

Naturally, he couldn't leave Qi country and returned to his hometown to congratulate his younger brother.

But since Chu Yue was mentioned, Shen Jiayan took advantage of the situation and said, "That's just right, when the eldest prince comes to congratulate him and returns home, I will go back with him."

Chu Tianlan's expression darkened immediately: "Aunt Shen returned to the capital with great difficulty, why don't you stay longer? Is Da Jin not as good as Qi Guo? After I get married, I have to rely on Aunt Shen to take care of everything in the harem Come on, I'm relieved!"

"Aunt Shen can help Sister Huang take care of a few nephews and nieces, don't you want to watch my children be born and help take care of them?"

"Besides, Aunt Shen is not young now, after all, her body is important! How can she bear it after a long trek to the Qi country? It's better to stay in the capital to recuperate, and have fun with her grandchildren—"

Before he finished speaking, his face turned dark when he saw Shen Jiayan, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped talking.

Shen Jiayan's eyebrows twitched wildly, if the person in front of her was not the emperor, she would have slapped him two big mouths.

My mother is only in her 30s this year, and she is still young!Why is it that you are not young anymore?Your body is broken?
In modern times, it is the age when it is in its prime and full of charm!
Even now, she is taking good care of herself, she is safe from marriage and infertility, she doesn’t need to use flesh and blood to conceive a child, she doesn’t need to spend her life to raise a child day by day, and she doesn’t need to find a man to piss her off. happy!
Compared to her peers, she looks much younger, okay?It looks like he is only in his 20s and less than 30 years old!

When I was in Qi State, there were quite a few handsome guys who struck up a conversation while walking on the road!Why do you want to spoil your grandchildren?
