Chapter 240 The first day of junior high school

Today is the first day of the new year, that is, the first day of the first lunar month of the new year. According to regulations, the imperial court will have a grand court meeting on the first day of the new year.

The court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month is different from ordinary court meetings. Not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries go to court, but also wives from foreign countries in Beijing also go to Liangyi Hall to congratulate the queen.

The eldest lady Zheng is a county lady from the second rank, so of course she is qualified to congratulate her.It's just that on New Year's Eve last year, because Xiao Nan offended the old lady, she was detained by the old lady at Cui's house, and she asked the palace for sick leave in the name of resting, so she didn't participate in last year's court celebration.

This made Mrs. Zheng regret for a whole year. She didn't attend the Great Court Meeting, not just because she missed a chance to show her face.This also aroused all kinds of speculation about why she was absent, and the noble ladies in Beijing secretly talked about it for a long time-illness during Chinese New Year?Who would believe it, don't you do something wrong and be hated by Cui Xianggong?Or maybe he acted improperly and was punished by the ancestors of the Cui family to face the wall and think about it?

The enthusiasm for gossip in the upper class is definitely no worse than that of idlers in the market. There are all kinds of unbearable rumors flying about why Madam Cui can't attend the grand court meeting. look sideways'.

The eldest lady is not a wooden person, how can she not feel the meaningful eyes of everyone.

Thinking about why she was ridiculed, she thought about it after a little thought, and then she blamed Xiao Nan and the old lady.

But the old lady is an elder, and the Cui family is almost a 'god' existence, no matter how annoyed Zheng is, she dare not do anything to the old lady.

But Xiao Nan, although she is a princess, she is her daughter-in-law in terms of status. It is only natural for her mother-in-law to "teach" her daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that, before the madam could take any action, Uncle Cui was adopted into the Rongshou Hall. During this period, there seemed to be some reasons for Xiao Nan, which made the madam hate her even more, and there was always a fire in her heart. I want to teach this "nephew and daughter-in-law" who has no elders in her eyes a good lesson.

Accepting Yang Xiao to live here was just one of the many plans of the Da Furen.

Next, when Xiao Nan gave birth and was in confinement, she would help her son choose a few honest and obedient maidservants, first to anger Xiao Nan, and second, to give birth to more children for his son.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Mrs. Zheng was thinking about the right candidate. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Liuli, her eldest maid, standing at the door and whispering to a younger maid.

After the little maid got a red envelope and left happily, the doctor coughed lightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liuli quickly walked behind Mrs. Zheng, and whispered softly: "Responding to Da Furen's words, I just got the news that the lady over there was mobilized last night, and she hasn't given birth yet. When the little girl came to report, Wen Po was asking about your husband." Keep the big or keep the young'."

"Of course to save my grandson,"

When the eldest lady heard Xiao Nan's dystocia, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and then she thought that although this daughter-in-law was hateful, the child in her womb was her own grandson, and she almost subconsciously heard about protecting the big and the young. Blunt out what's on your mind.

Then, the eldest lady thought again, no, Xiao Nan is the princess, if he died due to dystocia, the eldest princess would definitely investigate, then, not to mention her Xiaoba, even the entire Cui family would be angered.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady hurriedly added, "However, the most important thing is to keep the princess. By the way, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Liuli shook her head, "This little girl is just a rough servant girl who cleans in the courtyard. If it wasn't for the princess giving birth, the inner courtyard is a little loose, so she wouldn't be able to get in at all. If she got in by chance, she would only dare to stand outside and listen to Here comes the sentence. Other—"

The eldest lady put the beads on the small table, and cursed angrily, "Useless things, it's okay if you can't get important information on weekdays, but now when it's critical, you still can't find anything."

The eldest lady was still about to say something, when suddenly the voice of the mother-in-law deliberately raising her voice came from outside the door: "Slave please greet the eldest lady and the third lady, the eldest lady and the third lady, the lady has just got up and hasn't washed up yet, please come in first." Have a cup of tea soup in the side room."

Then Mrs. Wang replied softly: "In that case, let's sit in the wing room for a while, and call us after Auntie cleans up."

Then came Wei Shi's voice, "Well, just do as my sister-in-law said."

After speaking, the two sisters-in-law went to the west wing on the west side of the main hall to wait.

The eldest lady knew that the two daughters-in-laws were here to greet An and meet, and she will go to Tai Chi Palace to attend the court celebration with her later.

There are serious matters to be done, so the eldest lady temporarily put aside Xiao Nan's dystocia, called Mother Zhao, and told her to send someone to watch the Rongshou Hall, and to inform her whenever there was news.

After changing into the court clothes and putting gold tines on the hairpin, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, the eldest lady ordered someone to call the two daughters-in-law over.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wei were also wearing court clothes, with golden tines on their hair buns. When they walked in slowly, two little maids were squatting on the ground to put on shoes for the eldest lady.

Putting on the high-headed cloud-pattern shoes, and hanging the jade pendant and purse around the waist, the whole outfit of the eldest lady has been tidied up.

Wang's and Webster's came forward to salute one after another, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few words, and then walked out of the main hall together.

Mrs. Wang walked half a step behind the eldest lady on the right side. While she asked the eldest lady how she slept well last night, she secretly looked at the eldest lady's face.

She is the mistress of the Rongkang Hall, and she had already noticed the commotion next door last night, and today even a little maid came to report, saying that the Princess of Xiangcheng's birth was very likely to be difficult.

At that time, Wang Shi was taken aback. Although she and Xiao Nan were not best friends, they were an invisible alliance. They were both women, and Wang Shi was really worried about Xiao Nan.

Wu Zi recited "Nan Yuewen" for Xiao Nan more than ten times in the Buddhist hall alone, praying to the Buddha to bless their mother and child, until the maid outside reminded her that Wang came out of the Buddhist hall to greet the eldest lady.

Seeing the eldest lady, Wang couldn't help thinking, this mother-in-law has been in charge of the Cui family's middle school for decades, and now she has stepped down, but there are still some capable people in her hands. can also know.

Seeing Da Furen's expression now, Wang is even more certain that her mother-in-law already knew about Xiao Nan's dystocia, but when she looked carefully, she found that her mother-in-law's eyes were only anxious, not worried.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, and then she guessed what her mother-in-law was thinking—the eldest lady was only worried about the child or the impact of Xiao Nan's death in childbirth on Cui Youbo and the Cui family, but she was not really worried about Xiao Nan's mother and child.

Guessing this, Wang felt a chill in her heart, and then she thought of herself, how did her mother-in-law treat her when Sanji Cui's family found out about Langjun's affair scandal last year?

Wang sneered, but she remembered Xiao Nan's words in her heart: No matter how well you do, your mother-in-law will not regard you as a daughter, but an outsider who can sacrifice at any time.

It seems that people think it through. I only remember what my mother said when I got married. My mother said that if she is true to her mother-in-law, as long as she is filial to her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law will know sooner or later, and she will treat her sincerely.

But now it seems... Xiao Nan is still the princess, and has a powerful natal family to rely on, even the eldest lady dares to do so.As for myself, the Wang family is gradually declining. Once there is any need for interests, she will be the first to be sacrificed.

Pursing her lips, Mrs. Wang made a decision in her heart, and she should get closer to Rongshoutang in the future. As for the eldest lady, it is better for her to rest.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got into their own carriages, and the wheels rolled, and they arrived in the imperial city after half an hour.

Outside the imperial city, the eldest princess took her daughter-in-law out of the ox cart. Yuan's sharp eyes saw Zheng's carriage, and hurriedly reminded her mother-in-law: "Aniang, it is the carriage of the eldest lady of the Cui family and the two young ladies."

"For those who are not important, don't pay attention to her." The eldest princess went straight into the city gate without turning her head. In the inner city, she changed into the shoulders of the princess and walked all the way towards the Liangyi Hall.

At this moment, the Eldest Princess still doesn't know the news of Xiao Nan's dystocia, let alone the Eldest Madam's selfish thoughts.

If she knew, it would not be as simple as ignoring Zheng Shi.

Here, Mrs. Zheng has already got off the carriage, and she also saw the carriage frame of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess's car is easy to recognize, she is a first-rank princess, and she is riding in a four-view car of the same level as the crown prince, Qingyouxuan, Zhu Litongxie, Zhusiluowang.

Outside the car, there are step barriers made by the eldest princess, that is, there are two barriers on the left and right sides of the frame. Each barrier has a pole in the middle, eight feet long and six feet high. The Luozhang is full of patterns, with long strips hanging on both sides, which can be seen from far away.

Mrs. Zheng had to take a few steps to greet the Eldest Princess, but the Eldest Princess seemed to have not seen her, and entered the imperial city with her two daughters-in-law.

Almost bored, Zheng became even more angry, and the handkerchief in his hand was almost twisted into twists.

After entering the Palace of Yinyi, Zheng's anger still persisted, and he deliberately avoided the Eldest Princess. Even if they met, they only saluted lightly, and did not tell the Eldest Princess what Xiao Nan was giving birth to.

After a while, the queen arrived, and all the wives saluted together.

Kneeling and sitting on the single couch in the main hall, the queen glanced at the people present, said a few words on the scene, and then began to talk about homework with the people close to her.

The first person to be questioned was naturally the most favored Princess Changle.

"Lizhi, why don't you bring the two young gentlemen here today, I miss those lively little grandchildren very much."

The queen looked at the eldest princess with a very loving gaze, and she was deeply moved. Lizhi finally got rid of the fate of early death. Now she has a daughter and a son, and her life will be more happy in the future.

The eldest princess is always the most relaxed in front of her parents, she smiled slightly, and said: "My mother also said that the two brats became addicted to listening to firecrackers yesterday, and made a fuss about the servants at home lighting torches and firecrackers again. , they made a fuss all night, and they fell asleep at dawn, and right now, they are snoring and falling asleep."

The Queen couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard what the Eldest Princess said. Then, she thought of Xiao Nan whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and continued to ask, "Where is Qiao Mu, why don't you see her here?"

The eldest princess hurriedly replied: "Qiao Mu is about to give birth, and the imperial doctor said that the expected date of delivery is just a few days away."

While speaking, the Eldest Princess turned her head to look at the Eldest Madam, as if she was asking about the recent situation of the Elder Madam Xiao Nan.

The eldest lady's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the queen to have so many daughters and granddaughters, and she was thinking about Xiao Nan alone. She wanted to pretend that she didn't see the eyes of the eldest princess, but the eyes of the eldest princess became more and more fierce, and she couldn't hide it at all. , I can only make a list: "The concubine has something to report... This morning at the time of Chou (around 1:00-3:00 in the morning), the Princess of Xiangcheng activated it. Before the concubine went out, the princess was still giving birth..."
