Your daughter's strategy

The queen mother over there has already talked about the varieties of chrysanthemums with Mrs. Tantai, and Mrs. Tantai mentioned it with a very proud look: "We Ruyue also like to take care of flowers and plants. It was originally to pass the time in leisure, but I didn't expect it to really let her The tinkering came out, and now she takes care of the garden at home."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's good to take care of the flowers and plants, it can maintain your temperament."

Mrs. Tantai smiled and said: "Knowing that I want to enter the palace to appreciate chrysanthemums, Ruyue brought two pots of chrysanthemums raised by myself at home and gave them to the Queen Mother and Empress to enjoy. Please don't dislike them."

The queen mother was very interested: "Is that so? Serve it up and let me have a look?"

Two little palace ladies walked out quickly, and after a while, one of them came in with a pot of chrysanthemums in their arms, one pot was as white as jade, it was Yaotai Jade Phoenix, and the other pot was a mixture of two colors, it was Erqiao, both of which were precious. The Empress Dowager sighed: "It's really good, it looks better than the chrysanthemums cultivated in the palace."

Mrs. Tantai said modestly: "The queen mother has praised you."

Tang Yanran smiled and said: "If you want to talk about chrysanthemums, the most precious ones are naturally still in the palace. The purple dragon lying snow and cinnabar red frost placed here by the empress dowager are both extraordinary. What is rare is Miss Tantai's kindness."

Tang Yanran turned the carefully prepared gift by Tantai Ruyue into something ordinary with one sentence, Mrs. Tantai Ruyue and Tantai Ruyue didn't look very good-looking.

The Empress Dowager seemed not to understand the hidden meaning in Tang Yanran's words, she nodded and smiled, and asked the maid to leave the pot of Yaotai Yufeng and send Er Qiao to Xu Miaoyun's palace.

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "I dare not put flowers there when you are here. If I put a pot over there, he will grab it all. Send this pot of Er Qiao to the garden first and send someone to take good care of it. Don't let Dan down." A piece of mind from a Taiwanese girl.”

The Queen Mother also said yes, and just as she was talking, Xiao Xian and Brother Mao ran in, followed by a group of people, seeing the chrysanthemum held by the maid, Xiao Xian cheered and rushed up: "This flower is beautiful."

Stretching out her hand to grab it, Xu Miaoyun hurriedly stopped: "It's a gift from Miss Tantai to the queen mother, you can't grab all the petals off."

Xiao Xian immediately stopped his hands.A little unhappy, the queen mother smiled and hugged Xiaoxian into her arms: "He is still young, what do you know, just for fun, this flower is for viewing, if he wants to play with it, that's up to her , the palace is missing these two potted flowers?"

Xiaoxian immediately smiled sweetly at the Queen Mother, and ran over happily to touch Er Qiao's petals, but looking at Xu Miaoyun, he didn't dare to pull it down.

Tantai Ruyue's complexion was not as peaceful as before, and she was a little helpless.Mrs. Tantai was more experienced, she stepped forward and said: "The prince likes it. It is the blessing of this potted flower."

Tang Yanran looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Speaking of gifts, Yingying also prepared a gift for the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, which is also suitable for the occasion."

As he said that, he asked someone to lift it up, and it turned out to be two table screens, embroidered with chrysanthemums of various colors, which were lifelike.If Wenying embroidered it by herself, then her embroidery skills are really not easy.Tang Yanran was showing Wenying's strengths to the Queen Mother in disguise.

The Queen Mother really liked it and praised Wenying for her good embroidery. Mrs. Wen smiled lightly and said: "She also likes it. Since she was five years old, she hired someone to teach female reds, and when she was ten years old, she specially went to Suzhou to invite a famous embroiderer to teach embroidery. Time to kill."

Everyone saw the table and screen, and they all praised it. In fact, they were watching the excitement. They all knew that Shu Ning’s princess was chosen from these three families. See what presents she will come up with.

Mrs. Cheng noticed everyone's eyes, but she didn't move, she was still sitting as motionless as a mountain, it seems that she didn't prepare a present, the Queen Mother smiled and admired the bowl-sized red gold chrysanthemum hairpin newly made by Tantai Ruyue's House of Internal Affairs She gave Wenying a pair of Ruyi purses embroidered with gold thread and inlaid with pearls, both of which were very expensive gifts. Cheng Ailian got nothing because she had no presents.

When it was time to enjoy the flowers in the garden, Xu Miaoyun pulled Xu Peining and quietly asked her why Cheng Ailian came. Xu Peining sighed and whispered: "Cheng Ailian's third brother is in the army. Last month he lost his hand because of a fight. Killing someone by mistake, the emperor was not there at the time, this matter was suppressed by Mr. Cheng Ge, and later when the emperor came back, someone reported it, and the emperor didn't say what to do, and he didn't say no to deal with it. It was Mrs. Cheng's idea, saying that if Cheng Ailian married For Prince Jing, even if he is a member of the royal family, Cheng Ailian's elder brother has also become a relative of the royal family, according to the law, the punishment can be reduced, so Cheng Ailian came here."

Xu Miaoyun was very surprised: "Why haven't I heard about this?"

Xu Peining said: "The entire Cheng family knows that you and Cheng Ailian are at odds, how dare you let them know?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "It's a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives. Even if Cheng Ailian becomes a princess, how far can the reduction be reduced? Can he still be released without guilt?"

Xu Peining said: "In the first place, it was an unintentional murder, and the crime is not fatal. Adding up and down, it is the crime of exile. If you add Cheng Ailian's reduction and exemption, maybe you will really serve two years of hard labor and then go home. gone."

Xu Miaoyun nodded, but did not speak.

Going to look at other people, Tang Yanran and Mrs. Wen Wen Ying are greeting Xu Jinghan, while Mrs. Tantai and Tantai Ruyue are talking to Xie Zhilan and Yan Jingyi. Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Ailian are alone, standing alone, Xu Miaoyun Going forward, Madam Cheng hurriedly saluted, Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "Madam Cheng, how is the scenery here? There are many varieties of chrysanthemums that have just been bred this year. I think they look good, so I asked them to move them here."

Mrs. Cheng said: "The things in the palace are naturally the best, and some are hard to see outside, but now I have gained experience."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "It's nothing, just a few pots of flowers. If Madam Cheng likes it, I'll ask someone to send two pots to Cheng's house." Madam Cheng thanked her quickly.

At this time, the palace maid sent word that Taining had arrived. Xu Miaoyun looked from a distance. Taining was wearing a big red silk chrysanthemum-pattern gown, and she was very gorgeously dressed. If you don't talk to me this time, then I won't talk to her in the future.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun greeting him, Taining was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "I was afraid that I would be like you in bright red, but I didn't expect you to wear rose red backwards."

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Who wears bright red all the time. It's not marriage."

Taining took her hand and came all the way, talking as if there was no barrier: "Who is the Queen Mother in love with?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "How should I put it, evenly divided, I don't think the Queen Mother has a fancy to anyone."

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Tai Ning. It took a while for Tai Ning to come to Mrs. Tantai and Mrs. Wen. Seeing everyone salute her, he said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite?"

Also looked at Tantai Ruyue.The three Wenying and Cheng Ailian suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that Miss Tantai sent two pots of chrysanthemums that she grew herself, and Miss Wen sent a screen embroidered by herself. Tell me, whose gift is better."

As soon as Xu Miaoyun heard it, she knew that Taining was doing bad things on purpose. Mrs. Tantai and Mrs. Wen were obviously competing for the position of the princess, and they both offered gifts. When Taining asked this question, didn't they have to decide who was better? They are not willing to suffer.When the time comes, the words will rush to the words, and I still don't know what will be said.Xu Miaoyun had learned a lesson, so she hurriedly said: "It's all the wishes of the two girls, I think it's very good, do you dislike the two girls for not giving you anything?"

Taining smiled and said, "My eyelids are not that shallow, it's just curiosity."

Tang Yanran smiled and said: "If you want to say that the gift is exquisite, the screen inserted by Yingying is naturally more precious, every stitch and thread. But it took a lot of work, the chrysanthemum was embroidered. It looks like a living one. You haven't seen it in Taining, but it's a pity." Yes, but if you want to talk about your intentions, Miss Tantai's chrysanthemums are better, it is said that it is easier to appreciate flowers than to maintain them, and it is such a precious species, Miss Tantai must have spent a lot of effort on it."

Tang Yanran is Taining's first cousin, she called Taining by his first name, which is self-evident, but Mrs. Tantai and Tantai Ruyue smiled faintly when they heard Tang Yanran's words, and Xu Peining looked at it. With a smile, he said unhurriedly: "The queen mother also said just now that the gift is not about the price, but about the heart, and the gifts from Miss Wen and Miss Tantai are naturally the best ones available, and if they are not good, they dare not give them to the queen mother." It’s Taining, how can I punish you for being late?”

Taining smiled and said, "I'm not late, I just went to Fengyi Palace to see Zhenzhen and Qingqing."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "That's an excuse, I'll let you drink two more cups later." After some laughing, this topic was changed in the end.

After the banquet, Xu Miaoyun returned to Fengyi Palace. Feng Zhenzhen and Pei Qingqing were eating candied cherries and talking, when Xu Miaoyun came back and said: "This cherry is delicious, pack some for me to eat."

Xu Miaoyun said: "You know the goods, there are only a few of them, if you like them, you can take them away."

Feng Zhenzhen said: "It tastes sour and sweet. I didn't like it the most before, but now I like it."

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "People who are pregnant naturally have different tastes." He also asked someone to wrap some candied fruit for Feng Zhenzhen to take away. Pei Qingqing was more concerned about Shu Ning's marriage and said, "How is it? You have seen everyone ?”

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "I see, they are all very good, just look at which one the Queen Mother likes?"

Pei Qingqing murmured: "It's better to have a good temperament and be easy to get along with."

Xu Miaoyun smiled, it is not difficult to understand Pei Qingqing's anxiety, because that is also her sister-in-law, Xu Miaoyun is the queen, after all, the days of sister-in-law and sister-in-law are few, but Pei Qingqing is different, the same princess, but also sister-in-law, this communication is indispensable Yes, similarly, invisible comparisons and competitions are also indispensable.

Pei Qingqing's background is not high, if her sister-in-law is from a noble family, she doesn't know what will happen in the future. Although she has martial arts, she is clumsy, and sometimes she doesn't know when she says something wrong and offends others, so she I am also afraid of getting along with a narrow-minded sister-in-law.

Xu Miaoyun described the temperament of the three girls and what happened today in detail, and kept them for dinner before letting them go home. Xu Miaoyun is also tired today, and when Borang came back, he would see her Sitting on the kang with her head supported by her hands, she couldn't help smiling, and pushed her awake: "Why don't you go to sleep on the bed?"

Xu Miaoyun opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that it was Bo Rang, she threw her arms forward and hugged Bo Rang. Bo Rang supported her with a smile, carried her to the inner room, and poured another cup of tea for her. She, Xu Miaoyun slowly came to her senses, and said, "I have something to ask you, did Cheng Ailian's brother kill someone?"

Bo Rang smiled and said, "Have you heard?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "I heard what Big Sister means, it seems that she wants to get rid of her brother's crime, that's why Cheng Ailian is fighting for the position of princess."

Bo Rang said: "Actually, this is superfluous. I have already heard from the people in the Criminal Department about this matter. This kind of battle in the barracks is inevitable. But Cheng Hui was unlucky, and the strike was a little heavier. That's why people died. The matter As soon as he came out, the people from the military camp tied Cheng Hui and sent him to the Yamen. Mr. Cheng Ge closed the matter and went to the family of the deceased. I cried so much that Cheng Hui insisted on paying for his life. Mrs. Cheng came to the door crying and begging, and then took the old lady to take care of her. After I came back, Mr. Cheng Ge told me about it and said that she would rather Since then, I only wanted to save my son's life. I asked the people in the criminal department, and the people in the criminal department said that it was a manslaughter. In addition, the Cheng family promised to take care of the widowed mother of the deceased. They also discussed with the widowed mother about adopting an orphan. Offering incense in the name of the deceased, with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, there is nothing to be picked out. In addition to the merits of Cheng Ge, the crime is not worthy of death. At most, he will be sentenced to exile. Hui."

Xu Miaoyun said: "I don't know anything about it. I still listen to what my sister said. It's really boring."

Bo Rang said: "If you know, will you execute Cheng Hui immediately?"

Xu Miaoyun gave him a blank look, turned over and lay on the bed ignoring him, Bo Rang knew that she would be angry, because when he was not around, he sent someone to tell Xu Miaoyun what happened in the court, and he didn't ask her for help. , but she knew it in her heart, but she didn't hear anything about it. Presumably, the person who answered the call took advantage of Cheng Ge and didn't say anything on purpose.

Bo Rang lay next to Xu Miaoyun's ear and said, "Shall I beat the person who replied to you to vent my anger?"

Xu Miaoyun ignored her, Bo Rang pushed her with a smile, but Xu Miaoyun suddenly sat up and pushed Bo Rang hard, with a grim expression: "Don't provoke me, I'm annoying."

Bo Rang might as well, but he leaned back, fell to the ground, and looked at Xu Miaoyun in astonishment.

Xu Miaoyun still turned over and lay down. Bo Rang looked around. Fortunately, he was in the inner room, and no one saw his embarrassment. He got up, silently called someone to come in to take care of her, and then lay down next to Xu Miaoyun. say.

Early in the morning of the second day, after Xu Miaoyun got up, Bo Rang had already left. When it was time to eat breakfast, Xiujuan came over quietly and said, "The emperor ordered Han Gonggong to be executed, saying that he deceived the king." (To be continued.
