Second-hand lady

Chapter 104

In Fengxiang Palace, the imperial family's orderly wife sat in the hall and talked with the queen, and when the time was about to leave, she left, only Mrs. Wen Xia, wife of Taishi Wen, accompanied her young children.

The married woman who left naturally could see that Empress Zhao treated the Wen Xia family differently. Hearing that the empress loved the triplets in Taishi's mansion, she called Mrs. Wen to bring the triplets into the palace to accompany her from time to time.I feel somewhat envious and jealous in my heart, but everyone knows that Queen Zhao's actions are just for the fourth prince to win over the grand master of the court. The triplets are just children now, and no matter how much they like them, they can't be more fond of their own sons.If their husbands are also the grand masters who are favored by the emperor today, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion stands behind them, their daughters can also get this honor.

The smile on the queen's face was dignified and peaceful, just right and perfect, adding one point was too much and minus one point was too little, it was frozen on the face like a mask, making it impossible to pick out the slightest fault.

Rucui quickly glanced at the queen while drinking tea, and murmured in her heart, she always felt that it was really tiring for the queen to smile like this, it seems that the queen's job is not easy to do!There is the queen mother-in-law who always wants to toss about something all day long, next to the concubine who wants to pry her corner (man) all day long, and the princes who stare at her son below, and they must be virtuous and tolerant to set an example. You can only swallow it by yourself, and you must not do anything wrong, or the whole world will be crying for the queen... It is really exhausting for a woman to live like this.

After thinking about it, I am more determined that I must not let the fourth prince take away the youngest daughter. It is better for the daughter to marry an ordinary man for the rest of her life.

The queen didn't know what someone was thinking, and looked at the triplets sitting obediently in a row below with a smile in her eyes. Except for the youngest girl, the two boys looked exactly the same, one was calm and the other was smart, Yuxue was cute, not to mention how tricky they were People hurt.The queen's gaze was on the quiet and delicate girl, and seeing her gaze, the little guy pursed his lips and smiled at her, revealing two sweet dimples on his cheeks, it was so sweet.The queen suddenly understood why her son was thinking about this little girl. As the prince of the middle palace, his status was there, and his brothers and sisters were not close to him. Only this little guy was too young to understand the difference in status. Chi Cheng, plus the emperor's acquiescence, naturally took her to heart.

"Qiqi, come to this palace." The queen waved to Xiao Baozi.

Guigui looked at her in a daze, then remembered that she still had a nickname of "Qiqi", and looked at her mother again.

This ignorant appearance was very attractive, and Miss Rucui wanted to stretch out her claws to squeeze a couple of them on the spot. Fortunately, she knew in her heart that this was the imperial palace, so she couldn't be presumptuous so as not to embarrass Mr. Wen.

Seeing his mother nodding with a smile, Xiao Baozi walked slowly to the queen, and then was embraced into a warm embrace, not as pleasant as his parents and elder brother, but Xiao Baozi is an obedient and well-behaved child, Even though he felt uncomfortable, he just frowned delicately without any objection.

The son has grown up, and it has been a long time since the queen hugged a child like this. The child's soft body and frankincense scent are enough to soften anyone's heart.The queen is also a mother, so as long as there is no conflict of interest, she has some love for those lovely children, let alone this little guy who may be her daughter-in-law in the future.

"What is Qiqi doing recently? Have you missed Bengong and Fourth Brother?" The queen teased her.

The little bun was straight and small, and pointed out one by one with its fleshy little hands, "Guigui is very busy, daddy teaches you how to read, big brother teaches you how to exercise your body, mother teaches you how to draw flowers, little brother Take Guigui to catch bugs~"

Just as he was talking, the fourth prince, who had just finished school, walked in, and happened to hear the little bun's milky voice. He heard it in his ears, as if he could smell the sweet and fragrant milk smell even in his breath.

"Queen mother, my son is back." The fourth prince said, he stepped forward to salute the queen, and after seeing Ru Cui, Fang thumped and walked in front of the queen, holding Xiao Baozi's little hand, as serious as a little adult A smile appeared on his little face, and he asked, "Qiqi, do you miss fourth brother?"

"...No, I don't want to." Xiao Baozi said with some shame, she really didn't miss him, only her parents and brothers.

The honest little bun made the fourth prince's face a little stiff, and then he glared at the two little buns beside Ru Cui, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.However, the fourth prince also knew that Xiao Baozi was an honest child, and he would not be happy if she asked her to lie about missing him. What he liked most was her honesty.

The two little buns beside Rucui looked back at him with very innocent and pure eyes, one with a stern face and the other with a smile.Parents and elder brother have said that the fourth prince must never be with the little sister, let alone let the little sister care about the fourth prince. Now it seems that they have done a very good job~
Seeing that her son was deflated, the queen couldn't help laughing, causing the fourth prince to call "mother queen" in disbelief. The queen cut his hair and said: "You just finished school, you should be hungry, take a few younger brothers first." My sister went to the side hall to eat something together."

After hearing this, the fourth prince's eyes lit up, he directly hugged the little bun, and then called the other two little buns to go to the side hall with the palace people.

After the children left, the queen withdrew the smile on her face, dignified and perfect, and began to chat with Rucui casually.

"By the way, Mrs. Wen, the emperor told me this morning, if you enter the palace today, let me tell you that Xishan Qiuhun, the emperor hopes to see the eldest son of your mansion then." The queen concealed With a smile on his lips, "I heard that Mr. Wen is both civil and military, and has a good reputation in Beijing. It is true that like a father, like a son."

Ru Cui was stunned for a moment, wondering if the person the queen spoke of as "both civil and military" was her own Xiao Yanping. You must know that Xiao Yanping didn't like to study. Wen Liang didn't learn even a little bit of literary talent, which made Wen Liang very troubled.Fortunately, Wen Yanping was a girl, and she didn't want to take the No. [-] Scholar exam. She was going to get married sooner or later, so she didn't demand too much.It is also this kind of indulgent mentality that makes the little girl even less fond of entering the study room, and since she worshiped Mrs. Ji as her teacher, her martial arts skills have soared, and there are very few guards in the mansion who are her opponents.

"The Empress is absurd, Yanping is not that good, and she is still young, not suitable for autumn hunting, so the courtier's wife and husband did not let her accompany." Miss Rucui can understand Lord Wen's recent irritability. The girl is getting more and more powerful, and she is becoming more and more like a man. If she continues to indulge, she will really be a fake man. How can she marry in the future?So this time Xishan Autumn Lie, Wen Liang gave a death order, if he didn't embroider a small flower that can see people, don't even think about going out, let alone Xishan Autumn Lie.

The queen said disapprovingly: "I've seen that kid Yanping before. He's a very energetic kid. His martial arts are even praised by the emperor. I heard that he's 13 years old, so he's not too young. Parents, don't ask for it." Always hold him."

Rucui glanced at the queen, knowing that the emperor had a shot in the face, she couldn't refuse, so she could only respond.

However, Rucui has reason to believe that the emperor must have chosen her little Yanping to participate in the autumn hunting in Xishan because he wanted to see a joke. She doesn't believe that Wen Liang's temperament, which is used to planning for a rainy day, will not overshadow Wen Yanping's real gender. With the emperor, after all, when Wen Yanping wants to talk about marriage in the future, he should restore his daughter's body. If the emperor has a word, it can save a lot of trouble.

After the fourth prince came back from the side hall with the triplets, Rucui bid farewell to the queen.

Rucui's eyes twitched as she watched the Fourth Prince grabbing her daughter's tender paws, and told her to miss him - miss your sister!Her family's Guigui only thinks about her parents, sisters and brothers, and never thinks about a royal brother who can't beat her.

Guigui is an obedient and good boy, she answered in a sticky manner, her long eyebrows were slightly frowned, at this moment, Ah Xue ran over, pulled back her little sister's little hand, and then stuffed her little paw into it. In the hand of the fourth prince, I put my other paw on it, it looks like holding the hand of the fourth prince with both hands, looking at him with very innocent star eyes, and said: "Fourth brother, Axue misses you very much." , I miss you so much, Ah Xue helps my sister miss you, okay?"

"..."

The fourth prince withdrew his hand back with a livid face, squeezed his little hand tightly, and endured the urge to kick this little bun out of the palace—it's really disgusting, he doesn't want to be thought of by a man!
The court lady and eunuch in front of Fengxiang Palace looked up at the sky, her shoulders trembled, so let's show the Fourth Prince some face.

Rucui held back her smile, patted her naughty little son on the head, took her daughter's hand, and took the three little buns out of the palace together.

Back in Wen Mansion, Rucui asked people to take the triplets back to the main courtyard, and then went to the Ping An Yuan where Wen Yanping lived, and asked the guards of the courtyard, knowing that the eldest daughter stayed in the room peacefully all day long. I couldn't help being a little surprised, thinking that this is unscientific, could it be that the little girl has changed her sex?Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I knew that she might have slipped out, but with her current martial arts, the guards didn't notice it, and it was not like there were such cases before.

When I came to the small flower hall in the courtyard, I saw that in the bright and warm flower hall, a little girl in men's clothing was sitting in front of the embroidery frame with a bitter face and poking a silver embroidery needle in her hand. No matter how you look at the picture, it violates harmony.

Seeing Rucui, Wen Yanping immediately looked at her with teary eyes, jumped up, threw himself into Rucui's arms, and softly called "Mother".

Ru Cui patted her head, pulled her to sit in front of the embroidery frame, looked at the twisted thing on the embroidery frame, and was immediately horrified.

Is this embroidered something magical?Is this really a flower?Instead of messy graffiti?

"Is this a small flower?" Ru Cui asked, Wen Liang didn't expect the little girl to embroider a rich peony, just a small wild flower that can be seen as a flower, but judging by the situation, it's really difficult .

Wen Yanping moved his feet in embarrassment, and he couldn't bear to look at it.

"Forget it, keep working hard. Mr. Wen is doing this for your own good, not to make things difficult for you." After all, if you get married in the future, the purse and other small things worn by your husband-in-law on the first day of the wedding will be made by your wife .For the rest, there is an embroiderer anyway, so she doesn't need to do it by herself.

Wen Yanping nodded, she is not a person who doesn't know what to do, she naturally knows that Wen Liang has tried his best to teach her, even if she knows that she is not such a material, she doesn't like it in her heart, but for them, she still works hard.

For the sake of her cuteness, Ru Cui couldn't bear to make things difficult for her, so she told her about the autumn hunting in Xishan to make her happy.

Sure enough, when Wen Yanping heard that the emperor had hand-picked her to accompany her on the autumn hunt in Xishan, he was overjoyed. He walked around the room and promised Rucui, "Mother, I will definitely hunt down a lot of leather for you and your brothers and sisters to make coats." , the furs that need to be made into fur coats this winter will be handed over to me!"

Rucui naturally agreed, and told her to hunt more, make a few better coats and put them away in her dowry later.If Wen Yanping knew that Miss Rucui had thought of this, he would definitely burst into tears.

In the evening, after Wen Liang came back, he heard that Wen Yanping had been appointed by the emperor to participate in the autumn hunting in the Western Mountains, and his expression was very subtle.

Wen Liang was angry in his heart, and could not complain that the emperor looked at him so strangely today, and even kicked him directly to King Su to study the writings of the ancient North Vietnamese tribe after he came down to court, showing that he had a ghost in his heart!
Wen Yanping checked his countenance and saw that his expression was not good, so he asked pitifully: "Father, if you really don't want me to go, I... I won't go." A very sad expression.

Wen Liang looked at her angrily, and dared to pretend to be pitiful with him, knowing that the emperor had spoken, how could he not go?I just feel that I was overturned by the emperor's words as soon as I turned over my painstaking efforts, and I was really unhappy.

In this way, Wen Yanping got the quota of Xishan Autumn Hunting, Wen Liang had no choice but to take her over and give her a good reprimand, so that the lively and active little girl would not be taken as a target without knowing it.
