Chapter 96
Sheng Leyu's dazed and innocent expression made even Dong Yuan so cute, he couldn't help laughing.

Others loved him too much, saying that the child was so cute.

Mrs. Xue also likes it, and she repeatedly says good boy.

Ask Sheng Leyun again.

Sheng Leyun also answered, causing everyone to praise her again.

But next, Mrs. Xue was obviously leaning towards Sheng Lehao, asking him how old he was when he was enlightened, what books he is studying now, which gentleman, what he has learned, and where he has read the classics and history collections.

Although Mrs. Xue handled it properly, Dong Yuan felt sensitively that the old lady was a bit colder towards Sheng Leyu and Sheng Leyun.

Dong Yuan knew that Mrs. Xue had a very strong concept of concubine and concubines, unlike Mrs. Sheng who spoiled her children even if she saw a cute child.The children of the Sheng family were young, and Mrs. Xue did not look too conspicuous. Neither Sheng Leyu nor Sheng Leyun felt that Mrs. Xue treated them differently.

The old lady was very affectionate to Sheng Lehao, so Sheng Lehao ​​let go of his anxiety.He was full of affection for the Xue family and Mrs. Xue in his heart, and he answered the old lady's questions very carefully, articulate and fluent in speech, how could he still be Sheng Lehao ​​who looked at the concubine's eyes and acted?
Dong Yuan was a little surprised by his performance.

Mrs. Xue was very satisfied, and gave Baojin another jade pendant.

There is a banquet ahead, and Mrs. Shizi invites everyone to sit at the banquet.

Everyone got up one after another, resigned from Mrs. Xue, and went to the banquet under the leadership of Mrs. Xue's third wife and the maids.

When only Mrs. Shizi, Grandma Hang and Dong Yuan were left in the room, Mrs. Xue said: "Today your sister-in-law and Brother Jing's daughter-in-law are working hard, and I will also benefit from it. There is a lot of trouble at the front table, so I will not Go, pick up some light and easy-to-dissipate dishes and bring them here, let me eat them here."

Mrs. Shizi and the other wives hurriedly said yes.

The old lady left Dong Yuan again: "Miss Yuan is talking in front of me, you lead Brother Hao and the others to the front to entertain you."

Shizi's wife should be again, and the eldest grandma Hang sent the three children's hands away.

After Mrs. Shizi left, the old lady sent the maids and women out of the house, and asked Dong Yuan: "Hao Ge'er, are your father-in-law and mother-in-law treating him badly?"

Dong Yuan was stunned, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, you really have a bright eye." After speaking, he told the old lady about Sheng Lehao ​​stealing things and being sent to the outer court by the Marquis of Shengchang at the age of eight, and said, "...the first time Please greet me, he still watches Sister Yun's actions..."

Mrs. Xue shook her head: "Shengchanghou is not kind. I looked at Brother Hao, he was thoughtful at a young age, not as naive as Sister Yun and Brother Yu. He was more cautious in speaking, not childish, probably I'm used to being careful at home. One can imagine the situation that the son-in-law is so careful."

Hearing these words, Dong Yuan thought of her past self, she smiled faintly.

"The children are not bad." Mrs. Xue sighed, "I mean to stay with the Sheng family privately. Although Brother Hao is the eldest son, he has a bad reputation of stealing. In the future, the important tasks of the family will not be passed on to him. , you don’t have to be wary of him if you have an heir; brother Yu is raised too delicately, I’m afraid you won’t know the duty of a concubine, you have to put some thought into this child in the future, don’t let others instigate you to understand ethics and discipline, and ruin the concubine High and low; Sister Yun is more than kind, but not smart enough, she is honest..."

Mrs. Xue has seen countless people in her life, and the children of the Sheng family are young, their nature can be seen clearly through words and deeds, and the old lady has already figured them out after a short time together.

Dong Yuan couldn't help admiring.

"The Sheng family has few children, so my mother loves brother Yu very much..." Then, she told the old lady what Qiang Wei found out that the Sheng family's descendants were weak, "Grandmother, do you think it's weird?"

Mrs. Xue frowned when she heard this.

After a while, she sighed: "The more children there are, the more prosperous the family will be. If someone really harms the children, it is really a shameful person!"

After that, she glanced at Dong Yuan's stomach, and said worriedly: "Sister Yuan, if you have a body, you need to be careful everywhere. If something is wrong, tell grandma, grandma will take you back to live."

Dong Yuan's mood sank a little, she said yes in a low voice.

No matter how bad the Sheng family's affairs are, Mrs. Xue can't take care of them, saying these things adds to the melancholy, so she laughed: "Sister Yuan, just now your grandfather told me that the emperor likes Sister Shu very much when she enters the palace. The emperor stayed in her palace for three nights."

Dong Yuan frowned slightly.She remembered the last time when Shizi's wife Rong said that the emperor stayed in Concubine Xue's palace for three consecutive nights, the empress dowager was furious and said that the emperor favored her only.

Xue Dongshu, the eleventh girl, just entered the palace. With such favor, not only the queen mother will blame her, but also the other concubines will be jealous, right?

This is not a good thing!
But the old lady was very happy, which made Dong Yuan a little bit strenuous.She asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, where is the Empress Dowager..."

"On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Sister Shu went to the Buddhist hall of the Empress Dowager to help copy the "Koran Sutra". It will take at least 20 days to finish copying..." Mrs. Xue laughed, "Sister Shu is smart. .Your grandfather went to court this morning, and the empress dowager called him in, and praised sister Shu."

Going to the empress dowager's place to copy the scriptures means that Xue Dongshu will not be proud of being favored, and she voluntarily refuses the emperor's fourth day's stay.

Her refusal not only saved the emperor's face, but also avoided the empress dowager's worries.

The empress dowager had a good impression of her before, but now she is afraid that she also likes her quite a bit.With the favor of the empress dowager, the situation in the harem will not be too bad.

Dong Yuan smiled and said, "Eleventh Sister has always been smart, so Grandma doesn't have to worry about her."

Mrs. Xue smiled gratifiedly, then her eyes fell on Dong Yuan's face, and she sighed: "There were twenty nobles who entered the palace on the first day of the lunar new year, and naturally there were many of them with outstanding looks. Only sister Shu was favored by the emperor. She It looks a bit like you, Sister Yuan, this is her blessing..."

As soon as he entered the palace, he was the only pet. Those who knew the past between Emperor Yuanchang and Dong Yuan would think that it was because Xue Dongshu looked like Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan remained silent.

What would Xue Dongshu think if she found out?She probably wouldn't feel lucky.

Would she feel a sense of humiliation?
There should be, every woman will have.It's humiliating and useless to be treated like someone else.

"Maybe sister Shu can dispel the emperor's thoughts about you, maybe it's your blessing!" The old lady said in a low voice while holding Dong Yuan's hand.

These were words of consolation.Dong Yuan couldn't bear the old lady's worry, so she smiled and said yes.

The old lady asked her again: "Did Tianhe say anything about what happened in Princess Wenjing's mansion?"

Dong Yuan shook his head: "He didn't say anything, probably because the father-in-law hasn't told him yet."

Regarding what happened in Princess Wen Jing's mansion, Dong Yuan carefully observed Sheng Xiuyi's words and expressions several times, but found nothing unusual.

He is a person who is good at controlling emotions, Dong Yuan dare not say that he doesn't know...

The old lady sighed.The unresolved matter makes people feel depressed, but Dong Yuan doesn't seem to care much about it.

Now that it happened, guessing the reaction of others, worrying and worrying, just made her life unhappy, she was too lazy to think about it.

Today's hall meeting in Zhenxianhou's Mansion invited a well-connected family, the front was noisy and noisy, Dong Yuan and the old lady took a quiet moment in the quarrel and talked all afternoon in Rongde Pavilion.

After getting married, Dong Yuan seemed to be more cheerful than before, he really didn't worry about gains and losses for the old lady, and only treated her as his grandmother, his relatives, and talked to her thoughtfully.

The old lady also taught her how to control concubines and educate her children.

"It's hard to be a late mother." The old lady finally said to Dong Yuan, "Sister Yuan, don't think of harming others, don't lose your guard against others."

It's really hard to be a late lady.To treat Sheng Xiuyi's children, it's not good to be too close, or too indifferent.Dong Yuan himself would not harm them, but he had to prevent others from doing it, so he really paid attention to everything.

She nodded yes.

The chiming clock on the wall rang, indicating that it was time.

"I will lead the children to say hello to father and mother, and it's time to go back." Dong Yuan said.

The old lady ordered the servant girl to bring the three children of the Sheng family from the wife of the dead son Rong, and sent someone to Jinlu Pavilion to see if the fifth master and the fifth lady were there.

After a while, Mrs. Shizi brought Sheng Lehao ​​and the three of them back, and said to the old lady with a smile, "You are very obedient. You are obedient and sensible, everyone likes it when you look at it."

Then the maid behind her held three boxes and handed them to Dong Yuan: "It's all given to them by wives and wives. I'll keep them for them, and now I give it to you."

Dong Yuan thanked her, called Qiangwei to come in, gave her the things, and told her to take them first.

The maid who went to Jinlu Pavilion came back and said that the fifth master and the fifth lady were there, Dong Yuan resigned from the old lady, and led Sheng Lehao ​​and others to kowtow to the fifth master and the fifth lady.

The old lady said to Mrs. Shizi: "You send Sister Yuan there, and then send their wives out."

Mrs. Shizi said yes.

When the group came to Jinlu Pavilion, Xue Ziming and Fifth Madam Yang's attitude towards Dong Yuan and the children was cold and alienated compared to the enthusiasm of the previous few days.

The child was also very good at observing words and demeanor, seeing Xue Ziming's indifference, Sheng Leyu saluted him politely, not daring to ask Zhuangyuanlang a word.

Dong Yuan took it for granted, led them to kowtow, and followed Mrs. Shizi out of Jinlu Pavilion.

Fifth Madam snorted coldly behind her back: "The child of others is still like a baby, I don't know what kind of bad water is holding back."

Mrs. Shizi saw that the children were unhappy. Although Dong Yuan couldn't see any emotions, she didn't feel happy either. She knew that they were hurt by the attitude of Mrs. Wu.

"Sister Lin has been banned by your grandmother for three months, your father and mother are not happy, it is not against you, Sister Yuan." Mrs. Shizi explained to Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan looked back, puzzled and asked: "Why are you grounded?"

Mrs. Shizi smiled awkwardly: "I'm not sure, maybe your grandmother asked Miss Lin how her needlework is, and Miss Lin couldn't answer well, and even contradicted your grandmother..."

Seeing that Mrs. Shizi refused to tell the truth, Dong Yuan stopped asking.

She thought of Xue Donglin's deliberate dress when she went back to her mother's house last time, is it because of this?

The grandmother knew Xue Donglin's thoughts and taught her a lesson. She was not only unconvinced, but also contradicted the grandmother, so the grandmother restrained her feet?
three months...

Dong Yuan must be because Xue Donglin coveted her brother-in-law.

But the fifth master and the fifth lady wanted to blame Dong Yuan too much for angering Dong Yuan.The daughter she gave birth to was not disciplined properly, but blamed Dong Yuan instead.

She sighed slightly.

Xue Donglin has been spoiled by the Fifth Madam since she was a child, is it still useful to educate her now?I'm afraid the grounding won't change her anything, it will only make her hate the old lady and Dong Yuan.
