Fair Lady

The second prince is uneasy, and the Ma family can't sit still.

The Ma family is powerful, full of confidence, and determined to win, so it is inevitable to be high-profile.It doesn't matter if it's the second prince who takes the position as he wishes, but if he doesn't, many "old accounts" of the Ma family will be dug up.

Especially, if the fourth prince is really in charge, I am afraid that the queen and the fourth prince will not let the Ma family go.

The fourth prince was reprimanded by the emperor as "indecisive" in public, and the Zhong family of the fourth prince's mother's family kept a low profile, which made the second prince and the Ma family look down on them.

The queen is much smarter than the fourth prince, but unfortunately she is also too soft-hearted and soft-hearted.In the eyes of the Ma family, the entire Zhong family is "indecisive". The matter of marrying the queen into the palace was a lot of trouble back then, but the emperor insisted.

Because of this blatant contempt, whether it is towards the fourth prince or the Zhong family, the Ma family has not done anything less in these years. With the first prince and the third prince out of the game, this kind of "hands and feet" has become even worse. They just wanted to suppress the fourth prince and let them consciously "be honest".

The queen is the queen. Even if the second prince ascends the throne in the future, they can't get rid of the queen unless they have to. They can only establish two queen mothers.

Therefore, as long as the fourth prince and the Zhong family are honest, it is fine for the second prince to keep them to show their tolerance, kindness and brotherhood.

Of course, what they did was very skillful, so that the fourth prince and the Zhong family couldn't catch the tail, couldn't tell their sufferings, and couldn't complain to the emperor.

All along, everything went well. The second prince and the Ma family were just thinking about how to increase their bargaining chips and strength. They mainly defended against the unwilling first prince.

did not expect.The Empress Dowager made such an intriguing gesture suddenly. Seeing the simple two marriages, Concubine Ma, the Second Prince, and the Ma family were eager to find the "reason" behind it.

Could it be the meaning of the emperor?They were very reluctant to make such an assumption, but, thinking of the many unexpected things the emperor had done, they also knew that it was not impossible.

The third master of the Ma family asked nervously: "Father, if it is really..., what should we do?"

The old man of the Ma family frowned: "What can we do? The Ma family is already tied to..."

Old General Ma waved his hand impatiently: "Wait until Concubine Yi comes out with a letter, you all go out. Send someone to Yu's mansion and let Mingyu (Yu Zhengran's word) come over sometime."

Old General Ma had ten sons in total, but the only one who was really brave and resourceful was the second son who died of willow disease the year before last.Later, it took his people more than a year to find out that the stunning woman next to the second child who passed the disease to him was the eldest prince's secret stake.

In order to support the second prince, the Ma family has embarked on a road of no return and paid a heavy price...

Old General Ma closed his eyes.He is also a loyal minister. Their Ma family has made great contributions to the Great Zhou, the former emperor, and the current emperor, so they should enjoy equal rewards.And since the grandson of his Ma family is also a dragon son, and the best dragon son, he should be the next Great Zhou monarch.Only when the second prince becomes the emperor can the prosperity and peace of the descendants of the Ma family be preserved forever.

General Ma is very clear.If the fourth prince really came to power, the Ma family would be over.He didn't want the Ma family to be charged with historical crimes.I also don't want the second prince and the Ma family to be "unjustified".However, instead of waiting to die, it is better to go all out...

I hope this marriage is just an accident, it's just the queen's fault, not the emperor's intention, General Ma pressed his temples on both sides with both hands.In that case, when the time comes, it will be enough for the person who is placed in the fourth prince's mansion to get rid of the side concubine of the Yun family.So.The so-called support that the empress worked so hard for would immediately turn into resistance, and the death of the fourth prince would be even uglier.

I don't know if I'm thinking too much.Old General Ma, who was almost seventy years old, had a headache and shook his head. He decided to wait for Yu Zhengran to come over before listening to his opinion. Over the years, this wise and brave grandson-in-law has won his heart more than his grandsons.

The atmosphere in the capital, especially in the court hall, has become very delicate. The people who have their own thoughts (probably have ghosts in their hearts) feel as if they are walking in a thick fog, and if they are not careful, their heads will be broken. .However, it is not easy to let go of the thoughts in your heart. Some are greedy and cannot let go, and some are already tied up and cannot escape.

The three parties involved (Fourth Prince's Mansion, Yun Family, and Li Family) didn't have any abnormal phenomena, but the mansion was festive and lively, and the traditional engagement procedures were carried out in an orderly manner, and tokens and Geng Tie were exchanged.

While Shuyao was embroidering a belt in her hand, she was thinking about Yunting's marriage.Because I feel good with the queen a few times, and because of the relationship between the fourth princess, the little prince Baoyu, and the little princess Zhuyu, and the friendship between the two princes' mansion and the Zhong family is also good (Shuyao is still taking care of the Zhong family. Yuexuan's "raise jade" is only a very small amount, and only "raises" extremely important treasures. Shuyao's current status is not a rare boutique, and the Zhongguo government is too embarrassed to ask for it), Shuyao originally hoped The fourth prince can take the throne.Now that Yunting has become the quasi-concubine of the fourth prince, Shuyao's wish is even stronger.

In Shuyao's view, only the fourth prince who becomes the crown prince until he succeeds to the throne, whether they are the two princes' mansions or their grandfather's family, is the most likely to go smoothly.The second prince, the Ma family, and the eldest prince (now Prince Ning) who had the most chance in the previous life had a lot of conflicts with their two princes' mansion.

In her previous life, until she died, she never heard of who was appointed as the crown prince, but it is said that the eldest prince is very powerful, especially after the fall of the second prince and the Ma family.But in this life, the eldest prince has already been released as king, so there should be no chance, right?Will the second prince and the Ma family fall in this life?

It's a pity that she didn't know the specific reasons for their downfall back then, and she didn't dare to inquire after she lived in the Marquis of Weiyuan. Uh, it should be said that in her previous life, she paid close attention to the Ma family's affairs before she came to Beijing, and even brought Xiu Tao Nu disguised herself as a man and went to the teahouse to listen to gossip, but she didn't dare to inquire easily after she came to Beijing, because in the capital, those things became taboo topics at that time.

Shuyao secretly sighed, she also heard a lot about the Ma family in the teahouse back then, but there was no reason for the downfall, it was just a general rumor that "the Ma family conspired against each other".

If she knew the truth back then, she might be able to predict based on some signs whether the Ma family would be in the same decline in this life, but unfortunately...

Let nature take its course, the big deal is that the fire will be poured with water, and the water will be covered with earth. The adoptive father, elder brother, and second uncle are not idle people, and they all know it in their hearts.

Shuyao sighed again, focusing on the belt embroidered on her hand.

The belt was what Qi Haoning wanted, and he said that he didn't want to use other belts, he always used that one, it was getting old, so he asked Shuyao for two more in the letter.

Shuyao had embroidered two belts and a few purses before, and she wanted to save them there for Qi Haoning when he returned to Beijing, or to give to him after he got married, which could be regarded as fulfilling his promise to him before leaving Beijing.Seeing that he said so many kind words so softly now, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I decided to embroider two more and entrust Uncle Gui to send them together.After all, the belt is the most frequently used item, and it wears out more than the purse.It's just female celebrity and embroidery, it's not difficult for her, Shuyao is still very willing to fulfill Qi Haoning's little wish.

Zijin, who was embroidering small clothes next to Shuyao, smiled with relief: "Princess, you have sighed three times today, are you still worried about Miss Ting? Princess, Miss Ting is a good person, and there will be good rewards. Listen It is said that the fourth prince concubine only gave birth to a small princess, and when Miss Ting enters the fourth prince's mansion, if she can give birth to a boy, then... Princess, don't worry, in fact, there are still many people who want to be the prince's side Concubine's?"

Although they are also concubines, royal concubines are different after all. The prince's side concubine is also on the royal family tree and has a rank.In case of the fourth prince..., the side concubine will become an imperial concubine, or even a noble concubine.

When Liu's mother taught Shuyao, her maids would listen to her, so Zijin knew a lot about these things.

Shuyao smiled bitterly, yes, people in their family don't want their relatives to be concubines, even if they are high-status concubines, but there are many people who are eager to send their daughters to the royal family as concubines.Not to mention the possible fourth prince, isn't Qi Haoning, Prince Yong's son, also a favorite?

Now in all kinds of banquets, there are many wives and ladies with "different thoughts" who try their best to please her. Mother Liu said that they all stare at Qi Haoning's side concubine, wife, concubine Ji for their daughter, or by themselves. As for the position, why don't you just make a good relationship with her, the concubine?

Shuyao is speechless, as long as she doesn't go too far, she won't interfere with Qi Haoning's marriage to his side concubine Naji concubine, but she can't do it if she asks her to take the initiative to help him.

Shuyao was wandering and thinking for thousands of miles, and Lan Jin, who had gone to the Zhongyi General's Mansion to deliver something, rushed in: "Princess...no...it's not good...the grandma was bumped, moved...moved her baby Damn, it's all a mess over there now."

"What? How did this happen?" Shuyao stood up suddenly, the fingers of her left hand were suddenly pricked by a needle, and blood beads gushed out immediately.She couldn't take care of it anymore, she dropped the embroidered cloth, put her fingertips into her mouth and licked it, and rushed out quickly, and the four maids quickly followed.The masters and servants no longer cared about those walking postures and rules, they all used to run, even Shuyao used "fly", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Miao is about to give birth. This is the most important event in the Lianghou Mansion in the near future, and everyone is careful from top to bottom.

Nangong Miao's belly was big, and he worked hard, and the people in the Lianghou Mansion were also nervous, and the whole mansion was in a state of "preparation for war".Once the grandma started, who and who should do what and who should pay attention to everything was reiterated over and over again.

Wherever Nangong Miao went, a group of people followed her. The ground in the mansion, especially the places where Nangong Miao often walked, had someone in charge of checking and wiping, not allowing a trace of water or a small stone.

Such strict precautions, unexpectedly...

Hit?Shuyao frowned, who? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
