Glory all the way

Chapter 197 Leverage
"Miss, they are the mothers in the palace. Not to mention you and the young master, they have nothing to do with our Marquis Mansion. Why are they holding you so hard?"

After Aunt Chang and Aunt Dou withdrew, Liusu muttered angrily.

Shrugging helplessly, Bai Yingluo looked at the pearl earrings dangling happily beside Liusu and Liuying, and thought for a moment, "Could it be because of the Seventh Princess?"

If Bai Yingluo and Concubine Hui could have the slightest connection, after thinking about it, there would only be the Seventh Princess.

After all, in the past, the Holy Lord intended Du Xuan to favor the Seventh Princess, but he gave up because of Du Xuan's insistence. Whether the people in the palace, including the Seventh Princess, knew about this matter, Bai Yingluo had no way of knowing, but Concubine Hui like this The concubines who are the lords of the first palace pay attention to the movements in the palace all the time, and they naturally have channels to know the Holy Majesty's wishes.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. Bai Yingluo analyzed with certainty: "Those masters in the palace, although they are concubines/inners of the palace, but there was a disturbance in the previous dynasty, and they must have known about it. The emperor prefers the son, and they must I also got the news, seeing that the emperor wanted to use him, so I started to think about it. Besides, aside from the fact that the young master’s family background is weak, from other aspects, he is a talented person. Concubine Hui would like him and not It's not unexpected. So, if the marriage that had already been planned is changed, she might be fighting for her daughter."

Liusu and Liuying thought about it, and felt that the more they thought about it, the more this was the case. Immediately, their faces became melancholy, "Miss, they did it intentionally, and they just wanted to make things difficult for you. When is this going to be a boss?" ?”

Bai Yingluo shook her head helplessly, but she was secretly speculating in her heart: Empress, do you know about this matter?

Concubine Hui is so grandiose that the nuns in the palace are in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and they have inquired around in the capital, but nothing has ever happened. If it has never happened, it is against the rules. Do you not care about your actions, or is it something else?
After thinking wildly for a while, she felt that she had no clue at all. Bai Yingluo sighed and said, "Forget it, don't think about it, let her go, and the soldiers will cover it up with water and earth."

Calling Liuying took the embroidered picture and checked it carefully, Bai Yingluo said a little embarrassed: "The double-sided embroidery that Princess Nanyang wants, I am afraid that only Mrs. Yao can embroider it in the capital, but I don't know that the messenger can do it." I can find Master Yao. If I can't find it, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?"

The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching. For the Nanyang Palace, it is not interesting to give any rare treasures. Naturally, the birthday gift must reflect the filial piety and loyalty. Embroidered screen.

For an object as big as a screen, it would be impossible for one embroiderer to embroider for a year or so. It was a waste of effort, so Princess Nanyang thought about asking a master to deal with it and see how to solve this problem.

After inquiring around, she found out that there was such a person as Master Yao, and also knew that Bai Yingluo was close to Master Yao, so Princess Nanyang asked Bai Yingluo for help.

It has been several months since I saw Master Yao, and if I could take this opportunity to reunite with her, Bai Yingluo would be happy in her heart, and she hurriedly sent someone to look for her at Master Yao's former residence, but it has been several days, and still No news at all.

"No news is good news. Perhaps Master Yao has returned with our people. Ma'am, don't worry."

When Xiu Niang came in, she heard Bai Yingluo worrying, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth of June, the day when Bai Yingluo got married for a whole month.

The day before, Du Xuan had asked for leave in front of his boss.

At that time, Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan got up together, had breakfast, and the two returned to Jing'an Hou Mansion in a carriage with gifts in large and small packages.

In Qing'an Hall, Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai were also waiting with anticipation.

After meeting and talking for a while, old master Bai dragged Du Xuan to the study, Bai Yingluo respectfully sent grandfather out, then turned around, walked to grandmother and sat down.

Chirping like a little magpie, Bai Yingluo told old lady Bai the interesting things that happened in the past month, and finally, she mentioned Aunt Chang and Aunt Dou.

"Now, what tricks can you think of?"

Seeing her pouting when she complained, with a helpless look of being helpless against them, the old lady Bai asked angrily.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered in her grandmother's ear.

"You are a ghost."

As before, the old lady Bai jokingly gouged out Bai Yingluo's finger.

After a while, sisters Bai Yingping, Bai Yingqiao and Bai Yingyun came back with their husbands and sons-in-law, and the Qing'an hall was full of joy and laughter.

At lunch time, the table where Bai Jinyuan and other brothers sat with Du Xuan and his brothers-in-law was extremely lively.

The cups were intertwined, and after a while, Du Xuan was poured down with a lot of wine. Although Bai Yingluo looked distressed, but thinking that he promised not to get drunk in the carriage before coming, Bai Yingluo let it go.

It was Bai Yingping's husband-in-law, Yan Bingqing, after a few glasses of wine, her cheeks turned red and her eyes were blurred, as if she could not bear the strength of the drink. When Xue and Bai Yingping saw it, they hurriedly called the little maid who poured wine to stop pouring him wine, and changed to tea.

After drinking a few cups, Du Xuan also put down the wine glass, and turned around to ask the little maid to change him for tea as well.

Seeing the disapproval on the faces of Bai Jinyuan and others, Du Xuan leaned close to Bai Jinyuan and whispered a few words in Bai Jinyuan's ear. Immediately, Bai Jinyuan laughed and slapped him on the shoulder a few times, "You boy, if others say that to me, I must think that he is afraid of his wife, so I have to make fun of him no matter what. But that person is my sister, and I would like to praise you for being considerate and meticulous. Well, I will forgive you this time. "

Bai Jinyuan is the eldest son of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and now he is the eldest son. When he spoke, Bai Jinju and Yan Bingqing were puzzled, and they would not go against each other sensibly. Immediately, the maids hurried forward to remove the wine. The bowls were replaced with tea.

At this table, Bai Yingping and the others were curious, and they all looked at Bai Yingluo inquiringly.

Bai Yingluo shook her head at her sisters in a daze, and looked back at Du Xuan, wondering what the hell he was doing, and when she met Du Xuan's eyes, she saw the sparkle in his eyes, like the scorching sun in the sky, Bai Yingluo's cheeks became hot, and she hurriedly turned her head.

It was not until dusk that Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan returned home.

"What did you tell the eldest brother that they won't drink with you? I remember that when the fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law came back in March, the fifth brother-in-law was drunk a lot and vomited before going out. Fifth sister sent What a whine. What did you say?"

Inside the carriage, Bai Yingluo asked curiously.

"Really want to know?"

In the darkness, Du Xuan's eyes full of affection were more dazzling than the stars in the sky at night.

"It's definitely not a good word, I won't listen to it..."

Her heart jumped up suddenly, Bai Yingluo turned around shyly, before she could sit still, the carriage jolted, and the next moment, she fell into Du Xuan's arms.

"I told my elder brother, when you are pregnant, I will drink with him. I don't want my child to have any problems."

After whispering next to Bai Yingluo's ear, Du Xuan gently sucked Bai Yingluo's earlobe.

With just one touch, Bai Yingluo's body became limp, and she lost any strength.

It was less than half an hour's drive from Jing'an Hou's Mansion to Zhuangyuan's Mansion. When getting off the carriage, Du Xuan carried Bai Yingluo down without fear of other people's eyes.

Even though she landed in the next moment, Bai Yingluo still blushed like a cloud, and flew back to Yixin Garden.

This night, since the tenderness was lingering and sentimental, Du Xuan was extremely patient, and one after another affectionate kisses fell on Bai Yingluo's body, like a feather in her heart, making Bai Yingluo feel uncomfortable everywhere shouted.

In the last moment, Bai Yingluo only felt the bright lights flashing in her mind, and in the next moment, she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up early the next day, thinking that there was business to do, even though her body was limp and weak, Bai Yingluo still managed to get up.

Fortunately, they finished washing and dressing before Nanny Chang and Nanny Dou entered the door.

"Liu Ying, show the seats for Nanny Chang and Nanny Dou..."

After seeing the ceremony, Bai Yingluo looked at the two of them with a smile, and turned her head to Liu Ying to give instructions.

Until they sat down, Nanny Chang and Nanny Dou didn't recover, but their eyes met, and an alarm bell sounded in their minds.

Even though Bai Yingluo was only 15 years old, the two nuns who together were over a hundred years old didn't count on her these days. Just because of this, Nanny Chang decided that Bai Yingluo was not so easy to deal with.

Therefore, with the current appearance, they intuitively thought that Bai Yingluo was going to plot against them.

"Nurse Chang, when did you enter the palace? Do you still have relatives at home?"

Bai Yingluo looked at Nanny Chang and asked softly.

Feeling a little apprehensive, Nanny Chang replied truthfully: "The old slave entered the palace in the 18th year of Qianping. At first, she worked as a maid in the Huanyi Bureau, and later she reached the age of release, but at that time, the old slave's parents were already dead. After passing away, there is still a younger brother to drag, so the old slave stayed in the palace."

"Aunt Dou, what about you?"

Bai Yingluo nodded, and looked back at Aunt Dou.

"The old slave entered the palace three years later than Nanny Chang. Before that, he had been in charge of training the young maids. He had served Concubine Hui for a few years. The empress is kind and sent a message. Next year, the old slave will be able to leave the palace to take care of himself. years."

Aunt Dou replied.

No wonder, these days, Aunt Dou seldom speaks, and Bai Yingluo immediately understood: Aunt Dou probably didn't come to the Zhuangyuan Mansion voluntarily, so she just hopes to go back to the palace safely with less talk and less mistakes, until next year when she leaves the palace. day.

The heart became more determined, and Bai Yingluo's smile became softer, "Nurse Chang, I was young and inexperienced, and now I have an idea, and I hope you and Nurse Dou can help me make it out."

Seeing Nanny Chang standing up quickly and saying "Don't dare", Bai Yingluo waved her hand, and when she sat down, she said softly: "There are no experienced elders in the Zhuangyuan's mansion, so it's not a big deal after all, but since you two come here Now, the servants in the mansion seem to be more polite than before. So, I thought, otherwise, I will go to Concubine Hui to ask for a favor, and in the future, the two of you will be my errands. What is the monthly salary? Yes, it must be similar to that in the palace, when you two are old, we will take care of you, okay?"

When Bai Yingluo finished speaking, Nanny Chang was startled.
