Yan Cigui

Chapter 220 The little princess is still keen

For a moment, Lin Yunyan looked at Xu Jian, looking up and down.

 She seemed to have never seen Xu Jian when he was a boy. When she met Xu Jian before, he looked like this.

As Grandma Wang said, there is no difference in three years.

Even though Xu Jian injured his leg and was in a wheelchair at that time, his facial features had already grown.

 On the contrary, she is catching up with the most changing years.

 Speaking of which, when did she start to grow taller?

Lin Yunyan recalled.

 It seems like it’s just after the New Year?

At that time, due to the troubles caused by Su Ke's servant boy, Chengyi's Mansion lost the opportunity and was pressed hard by Xu Guogong's Mansion.

 Everyone at home is in a state of panic.

Grandma fell ill. How could she with such a decent character endure such a mess.

The second aunt was heartbroken for her eldest sister, but she did not dare to shed tears in the Zai Shou Courtyard. She only worried in her own room until her temples and hair turned white.

Lin Yunyan had the idea of ​​asking the Empress Dowager for help, but was blocked by the rumors and rumors that were making trouble.

“You can say that the family tradition is upright, but the three girls and the little sisters in her family are paying thousands of dollars to fight with each other. How can such a family be upright?”

“If you take a concubine’s daughter to the Duke of Xu’s palace and marry her, you must be prepared to be wronged.”

"What a grievance, man, it's so normal to play outside! Aren't you still caring about your family?"

"That's it! The prodigal son will never return his money. He has been kneeling for several days, right? Is Chengyi's house going to let go?"

"They couldn't reconcile, and in the end they continued to live together. They were so arrogant, and they were not as miserable as the little daughter-in-law in Xu Guogong's mansion."

"Hey! To put it bluntly, if you are not your biological child, you won't value her. What if a daughter who is a son from a concubine is manipulated by her husband's family? Anyway, Uncle Chengyi's own airs cannot be paralyzed."

"That old sister is right. It costs a thousand to beat a horse or hang a horse. I don't know how arrogant she is on weekdays! Isn't the princess even more arrogant?"

"They say that the Empress Dowager favors her and the palace values ​​her so much. I think she is using the banner to show off her power! This is all retribution."

 “When will she go into the palace to bring in reinforcements?”

"The Queen Mother has such a noble status and is responsible for handling such disputes for them. Oh! Is the princess really embarrassed to speak up?"

　　"Don't say a few words, what is this person's background? We ordinary people cannot afford to offend him, and we will ask the Yamen to arrest him later."

“Why are you arresting us? The Duke of Guo’s Palace is kneeling there, and we are watching the fun, but the Duke of Guo’s Palace is not even shouting to arrest us.”

"That's right! They sincere uncle's government has the ability to go against Duke Xu's government!"

Grandma will not know about those unpleasant words, but how can the uncles, who are running around for the eldest sister’s affairs, not know about it?

The third uncle felt really uncomfortable to hear that, and because the two families had said "support" that day when they were getting married. Although it was not fulfilled, there was still such a sentence, which made him feel more and more that he had caused the eldest sister, so he whispered to the third uncle in private. sentence,

But he asked the third sister to listen.

The third sister had already been greatly wronged for "going out of business", and her unfounded crime also affected her two sisters, and she also developed a high fever that night.

 What the doctor comes in and the doctor goes out cannot be hidden from the eyes of others, and the news spread to the ears of the eldest sister.

In the end, the tug of war ended with the eldest sister giving up, but the aftermath in Chengyi's house lasted until late spring.

 The weather is getting warmer, and the sick old and young finally get rid of the medicine jar.

Lin Yunfang is young after all, and her cheeks can regain some flesh. At Duan's age, a serious illness damaged her roots. She seemed to be cured, but in fact there were many hidden dangers.

 After a few months, Lin Yunyan stepped into Cining Palace again.

The Queen Mother hadn’t seen her for a long time, and she said, “Yun Yan has grown a lot taller.”

Lin Yunyan then realized that the clothes she made in autumn were indeed a bit tight.

The empress happily asked someone to bring a lot of materials to pick out the colors and styles for her. That’s when…

Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan's breath couldn't help but freeze.

 An idea came to her mind that she had never thought of before.

She was worried at that time and didn't know how to tell the Queen Mother what happened to her eldest sister. She had not thought about the misfortune, nor did she want to embarrass the queen. Therefore, the queen didn't ask a word, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

 However, with the care and love the empress had for her, how could she not "miss" her for several months.

She didn’t take the initiative to enter the palace, wouldn’t the empress look for her?

There is a dispute outside, and everyone in Cining Palace really doesn’t say a word to the empress?

 Normally, Eunuch Yu would have come to Uncle Chengyi's house to say hello a long time ago.

The Queen Mother knew that she kept silent and even talked about him, which only showed that she was powerless at the time and she didn't want to let herself know that she also encountered difficulties in the two or three months without seeing each other. .

"The Empress Dowager..." Lin Yunyan was thinking, recalling the state of affairs between the empress and the queen, and asked Xu Jian, "In the spring of the twelfth year, has the empress been ill for a while?"

 Xu Jian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

One moment he was still angry, and the next moment he turned his head. This time he was so distracted that he almost couldn't keep up.

Recalling it, Xu Jian said: "I have never heard of it. At that time, there were a lot of things going on in various places in the Yamen. Kai Enke and Gu Yue's envoys arrived in Beijing, and they were all busy entertaining them."

Lin Yunyan nodded lightly.

Xu Jian tried to stay as far away from the court as possible at that time, not to mention that Cining Palace was out of easy reach of everyone in the previous court.

If the Empress Dowager did not want others to know about her physical condition, she could keep it a secret.

 It seems that she will have to ask Grandma Wang carefully when she enters the palace in a few days.

Not long ago, the mother -in -law was ill for His Royal Highness, and again, the body was really unbearable.

Thinking about this, Lin Yunyan said to Xu Jian: "I had something on my mind at that time, but the queen didn't ask. I was secretly glad that now that I think about it, I actually asked the queen to change the subject. I sometimes do this. Wrong, it seems that we still need to learn from Yun Fang, think more, remember more, and summarize more, so as not to be led away again. "

Xu Jian looked at her and smiled.

Lin Yunyan clearly meant something, pointing out that he took her mind away with the wine earlier.

However, Lin Yunyan nodded, but had no intention of pursuing the question.

 After all, that was just the way she felt just now, and she couldn't say anything more specific.

In this situation, it is impossible to dig out things from Xu Jian's mouth that he does not want to say. It is better to straighten things out later, think clearly, and then ask more targeted questions.

 It was getting late, Lin Yunyan stood up and said goodbye.

 Xu Jian took the snow coat from the shelf and handed it over.

Lin Yunyan took it, put it on and tied it, and then walked out of the house against the wind.

The sky was dark, and a few lanterns in the yard cast a shadow on the people.

Xu Jian looked at Lin Yunyan's figure, her eyes gradually darkened.

 The little princess is still keen.

His previous words were just a mistake, something went wrong, causing her to have a problem with her Yinyi product.

She also said that she herself was not alert, but the little princess was obviously shrewd.

 It’s better to be smarter.

 Be smart and you can live longer in this life.

If some book friends don’t realize what it means, just look at the paragraph before Xu Jian’s last question about wine in the first chapter.
