Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 255
The main courtyard of the town government.

It was still early summer in the capital city, but the temperature was already much higher than that in the border towns. After Mrs. Zhen Guo returned to the courtyard, she hurriedly took off her imperial clothes.

This grade of imperial uniform, not to mention the three layers of clothes, the crown on the head weighs a few catties, plus the gold hairpin rings...

She was born petite, and she never wore this heavy imperial attire twice. Ever since she went to the border town with Duke Zhen Guo, she regarded it as a bottom of the suitcase. After wearing it for so long today, she took off her clothes and went to the soft couch It went soft and fell down.

The servant girl lifted the already sweaty underwear and said: "Madam, please rest first, the bathhouse will be ready soon, wash first, and then go to sleep."

Mrs. Zhen Guo raised her hand and said, "Give me a bowl of porridge first."

This Empress Dowager also rushed to call people into the palace before lunch, and didn't care about the meal, and didn't even give you a snack, so she let you drink tea.What's more, she can only walk in the palace, and if she walks back and forth under the sun wearing the imperial clothes, she will be hungry long ago.

"Ma'am, here we come, chicken porridge." A nanny in her early thirties came in from outside holding a bowl of porridge, and shouted repeatedly.

"It's still Qiuyan who knows me." Mrs. Zhen Guogong sat up with a smile, and then said to the maid next to her: "Go and see if there is any ice cream, bring it to me quickly."

The servant girl opened her mouth, wanting to say that you are sweating so much on an empty stomach, it's not good to eat ice, but when she saw Mrs. Zhen Guo's expression on her face, she turned around and walked out without saying anything.

"Ma'am, what's the matter, how beautiful is this palace?" Qiuyan put down the porridge bowl and smiled at Mrs. Zhen Guogong.

"Pretty." Mrs. Zhen Guo nodded.

She was originally the daughter of a country gentry family named Shui in Wuxian County, Jinzhou. She heard that a high-ranking official came to recruit soldiers, and followed others to watch the fun, but she was caught by the Duke of Zhen, and married with three matchmakers and six hired ones to become his successor.

At that time, the first wife of Duke Zhen Guo had died for many years, and the remaining sons were all grown up, and there was also an aunt who was a noble concubine.

Although she was married by the Duke of Zhen, and she also had the imperial order of the Duke of Zhen, but she had no right to speak in the mansion.

Even the Great Court Meeting, Concubine Wu Guifei tried her best not to let her attend.

The wife of Zhen Guogong who has been in the capital for several years, she has never even gone out of the gate.

Even if she gave birth to a son, she seemed to have no confidence.

And it became the thorn in Wu Guifei's eyes.

After his son was almost killed by his stepson, Duke Zhen finally found out that something was wrong in the back house, and took their mother and son to the border town.

But after seeing the prosperity of the capital city and the wealth of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, although she no longer needs to be trembling in the other city, she can't stand the climate and the poor living conditions in the border town.

Moreover, after arriving at the border town, Duke Zhen took his son to the military camp. A healthy son, he was away for more than half of the year. This husband was either on patrol or at the pass for inspection, so he rarely stayed by her side.

The only advantage is that she is the highest-ranking wife in the border town, and the wives and ladies of the generals and officials all praise her, and she has never heard a bad word.

No matter what you say, you will be flattered and right.

After being praised by others for ten years, she began to prepare to adapt to the border town, so she continued to dominate the border town, and Duke Zhen brought Zhao Hao back to the capital.

He also made great contributions and became the hottest person in the capital.

And Concubine Wu Gui and stepson, who had been pressing her down and bullying her until she couldn't breathe, were dead!
Of course, this was said during the Chinese New Year, when the wives of officials came to pay New Year's greetings.

However, when the Duke of Zhen arrived in the capital, he didn't pick her up immediately, not even pick her up during the Chinese New Year (Duke Zhen planned to return to the border town for the New Year), but it made her a little scared.

Fortunately, not long after the year, Lord Zhen Guo sent someone to pick her up.

And let her bring everything back.

This is the meaning of planning to live in the capital.

She was overjoyed, and just wanted to leave immediately, but the border town was freezing cold, and it only started to thaw in April, so no matter how anxious she was, she had to leave in April.

Therefore, I delayed my return to Beijing until this time.

However, when entering the Zhen Guogong Mansion, one should see the renovated main courtyard, and one should see the respectful appearance of all the servants in the mansion.

All the hard work has become worthwhile.

Moreover, within a few days after she came back, she fully enjoyed the treatment of the real Mrs. Zhen Guo.

Not to mention the attitude of the servants of this mansion, even the noble ladies who came to pay a visit were also flattering.

Even the queen mother summoned her in person.

"Ma'am, the Empress Dowager summoned you, but did she want to reward you?" Qiuyan pushed the other maid away and asked.

She grew up with Miss Shui since she was a child, and later married into the Duke of Zhen's mansion as a dowry, married the guards next to the Duke of Zhen, and then served as a daughter-in-law for Mrs. It's not so good, and it's natural to speak without any scruples.

The Duke of the town has made such great achievements, and now he is in power. The Queen Mother must be rewarded for summoning his wife. After asking clearly, she has to take someone to the front to prepare to receive the reward.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's face changed slightly, and she said: "No, she said she wanted to talk to me, but she didn't say a few words, and then came the spoiler."

As he spoke, he talked about the conflict between Nayun Yao's family and Su Yue, and the emperor's punishment.

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and said: "The emperor is also, the Yun family is an important minister, and the Yun Yao family is not wrong, but that Su Yue, an orphan girl, dares to be so arrogant, she dares to do it herself, she can't tolerate it." Someone else said it?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lord Zhen Guo shouted at the door, Qiuyan hurriedly left from the soft couch, and stood on the side with his hands down.

Lord Zhen Guo has led the army for many years, and he doesn't like to talk and laugh at all. He usually keeps a straight face without anger and prestige, let alone now with anger.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong was also beating her heart, she stood up quickly and said, "You are back, Mr. Guogong."

"Get out." Duke Zhen drank, and all the servants in the room hurried out.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong looked at him with anxiety on her face, and said softly: "Concubine, what did you do wrong?"

Looking at her cautious face, Duke Zhen couldn't vent his anger and only let out a long sigh.

I regret taking her back.

Her background, knowledge, and temperament are really not suitable for the capital city. In the border town, it is his territory. If she says or does something wrong, he can always clean it up. Besides, the border town, apart from being related to the Rong people, Nothing major will happen.

But Beijing is different.

Especially now that he and Zhao Hao seem to be high-ranking and powerful, in fact, I don't know how many people are jealous.

Just like a pack of wolves, with red eyes open, just waiting for them to make a mistake, they will pounce on them and bite them.

At this time, it was a mistake made by the female relatives that could put the Zhen Guo government in an embarrassing situation.

This is the first time entering the palace, and the best-spoken queen mother summoned her, so this lady can talk nonsense without seeing the situation clearly.

I'm afraid that she has left a bad impression in the queen mother's heart.

First he heard the maid who was specially sent to stare at Mrs. Shui talk about what happened on the spot, and he felt bad in his heart. Now when he heard Mrs. Shui say this in such a tone outside the door, he could only sigh in his heart.

"I told you earlier, don't say anything if you don't understand. The matter of Marquis Ning Yuan is not as simple as you think. Yun Yao is looking for death, so you want to follow suit?"

Duke Zhen said a few words sharply, seeing Mrs. Shui's tears falling, he didn't know what to say.

Back then, he only wanted to find a simple one who would not use his mind to scheme against him, but he never thought of...

Forget it, I can't explain it to her.

Duke Zhen turned around and said, "Come here, madam has just arrived in the capital and is tired, so please close the door to thank guests for the past few days."
