On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Rong Zheng, the princess, and Mu Xuan returned to the palace.
Concubine Yan was talking about playing cards with Concubine Shizi and Concubine Luo, but unfortunately there was still one person missing.
Concubine Yan asked her maid to ask Bao Wen to make up the number, but Bao Wen refused to come because he was suffering from the cold.
The princess had something on her hands and couldn't leave.
It was at this difficult time that the Crown Princess saw the three of them coming and said with a smile: "Three of them have arrived at once.
Are you still worried about having no one?"
The princess pushed Rong Zheng and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, let's go play."
Rong Zheng said with some embarrassment, "I'm not very good at it."
The Crown Princess still tried her best to get close to this new sister-in-law, so she pulled Rong Zheng to sit down and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, I'll ask Xue Sheng to help you take a look, and you'll be beaten within three strokes. " Rongzheng had no choice but to sit down reluctantly.
Princess Duanhui asked Rongzheng to bring a few more strings of money.
Concubine Yan quickly stopped her: "Come on, Princess, you don't need to say this.
I'm not that stingy.
This favor I can still afford it."
She said to the maid behind her without looking back, "Go and get a few strings of money to use as capital."
Mu Xuan had never been good at dealing with such scenes, so she whispered to Rong Zheng: "You stay here and stay with the concubine.
I will pick you up later."
Concubine Yan smiled and said: "Go, go.
Are we still going to embarrass our new daughter-in-law?"
Mu Xuan had no choice but to resign.
Duan Hui stayed and asked her maid to pick up an embroidered pier for her and sit in front of Rong Zheng to read the cards for her.
Xuesheng didn't dare to step forward.
In fact, Rong Zheng was not completely incapable of playing dominoes.
When she was at the Liao family, she also chipped in.
It's just that her poker skills are not good, she loses nine times out of ten, and she is not a good-luck boy.
Naturally, I don't want to be taken advantage of all the time.
Duan Hui helped Rong Zheng look at the cards while talking to Concubine Yan.
"Determine when to leave" Concubine Yan said: "People looked at the date and said that the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day to go out."
"So you don't even have Laba at home."
Concubine Yan smiled and said: "What kind of life have we had?
In the past few years, most of them were on the road.
Why don't you want to go together this time?"
Duan Hui said truthfully: "Since the beginning of winter this year, my body has not been feeling well.
I don't want to bother.
Who else is going to go this year besides my father?"
Concubine Yan said: "Princess, the Crown Prince.
The Crown Princess is going too."
"This year there are quite a few people."
"Yes.
If I weren't a little older, I would also like to go together."
Duan Hui's quick eyesight and quick hands prevented Rong Zheng from playing a "four-six".
He pointed at the three red dots next to him.
Rong Zheng followed the good example and beat out the three red dots.
This time it was the Crown Princess who was in charge, and the banker won this time.
Concubine Yan asked her maids to help build the cards.
She pointed at the Crown Princess with a smile and said, "Gu's is the best at playing cards in our family."

The imperial concubine said hurriedly: "No matter how good you are, you can't be as good as the concubine.
We all know that the concubine is giving up to us.
The juniors have won money from the two of you.
Don't be unhappy."
Concubine Yan laughed and said, "This Gu family is quite interesting."
Concubine Yan went to look at Rong Zheng who was sitting at the bottom, and saw that she had a low eyebrow.
With a gentle and silent look, he said to Princess Duanhui: "The princess should bring the elder daughter-in-law to walk around frequently.
There are few people in your villa, so there will be no excitement in our mansion.
A young daughter-in-law should love the excitement.
That’s it.”
Duan Hui responded hurriedly.
In these two positions, Concubine Yan is in charge.
The Crown Princess quietly passed on ideas to Concubine Luo.
Rong Zheng also understood it and could play his cards as he pleased without the princess's guidance.
Concubine Yan indeed won this round.
Before the third game started, Cui Sangzhou's mother came in to pay her respects to Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Mrs.
Cui Si is here."
Mrs.
Min bowed to Concubine Yan.
Then he saluted the princess and said hello to the princess.
Concubine Yan nodded with a smile and said: "You have nothing to do at home.
It's been a long time since you came to our place.
There is a saying that says that when a newlywed comes into the house, the matchmaker is thrown over the wall, then the Li family's fifteenth The lady hasn't entered your house yet.
Why don't you come and walk around with me as a matchmaker?"
Min didn't know that Concubine Yan was so sharp-tongued, so she said with some embarrassment, "How can this old slave afford Concubine Yan's words?"
It was the first time Rong Zheng saw Mrs.
Min, but at a glance she knew it was Cui Shangzhou's mother.
Mother and son were so similar that no one could mistake her.
Mrs.
Min spotted Rong Zheng early and praised with a smile: "This is the newly married young lady, she is really a beauty."
Rongzheng stood up and replied: "The Cui family's wife has been promoted."
Upon seeing this, Concubine Yan asked the Crown Princess to invite some more people to come over and form a new table.
However, Rongzheng took the initiative to retreat and said humbly: "I'm not good at fighting, so I'd better invite Mrs.
Cui to come."
"No, no, Madam, just sit down.
The old slave came in just to talk to the concubine.
There is no card game today."
"Why don't you fight?"
Min smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm not feeling lucky these days, so I'll quit."
Concubine Yan didn't want to push Min too hard, so she still let Rong Zheng sit.
This time, the Crown Princess was still in charge.
Rong Zheng had played two games and the princess was giving guidance, so she felt somewhat confident.
Princess Duanhui and Min were chatting here.
"Your Xiaoqi often goes to our place.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I told him a few days ago that we used to play together when we were young, but they have become more and more estranged as we get older.
It can be seen that this is not interesting when you grow up.
Miss Li's fifteenth family is indeed She is a beautiful girl, so Xiaoqi is lucky to marry her. " The Min family was originally dissatisfied with Li Wuxiang and disliked Li Wuxiang for being a concubine.
However, because of Concubine Yan's role as matchmaker, there were probably very few people in Bianliang who could ask Concubine Yan to be the matchmaker, so I felt that it was a little more balanced.
Fortunately, the Li family is a family of high-ranking officials, so it is good for Xiao Qi to have such a wife.
Min smiled and followed Duan Hui's words and said: "Xiao Qi was very naughty when he was young.
This didn't make people worry.
When the late princess was still there, Xiao Qi often came to play in this house, and he was the closest to the uncle.
"Hou.
But he also caused a lot of trouble.
The princess didn't know how much he was beaten.
Fortunately, he was older and knew some truth, so he was relieved."
Princess Duanhui smiled and said: "The three of us grew up together, and Xiao Qi is like my other younger brother.
When I just came back from Fujian last year, I was shocked when I heard that Xiao Qi hadn't gotten married yet. .
I wonder why the two of you are so talented and capable.
It seems that the fate has not come yet.
You should be relieved now."
Min said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, don't worry.
This is his top priority.
Once this matter is resolved, I can sleep peacefully."
Concubine Yan heard this and said hurriedly: "Children are debts.
Parents have to worry about their children for the rest of their lives.
It's not over until they die.
You have to bless them for a safe life."
Concubine Yan's words silenced everyone present.
Except for Rong Zheng and the princess, everyone present was a mother.
Everyone was deeply touched.
Rong Zheng played five games of cards.
I won a handful, but just like in my previous life, I had no luck with the cards.
Later, he stood up and said with a smile: "Touchin, granddaughter-in-law, go and see the third sister."
Concubine Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll come over for dinner later."
Here Rongzheng's Princess Queyan was replaced by the princess.
Mr.
Min was in front of him, chatting about family matters.
This made Concubine Yan smile from time to time.
Let’s say that Rongzheng plans to go to Jiaoguan to visit Mu Baowen.
The sky was gloomy and a bit colder than yesterday.
It might rain or snow.
Going out in the dead of winter is always a chore.
After walking for a while, Zi Su said: "Why did grandma forget to get the hand stove?
I will go back and get the hand stove for grandma."
Rongzheng nodded and said, "You go ahead.
I'll go directly to the Jiao Restaurant.
You can come find me there later."
Zi Su responded yes.

After Zi Su left, Rong Zheng slowly walked to Qichun Garden alone.
As she walked, she looked at the glazed tiles on the roofs of the halls in front of her.
Because the weather is not very good.
The glazed tiles look a bit greenish gray.
It only looks good if the sun comes out and shines.
When we were about to arrive at Qichun Garden, we suddenly met someone.
Rongzheng hurriedly stepped back and said, "Please be safe, Your Majesty."
Mu Jing never thought that she would meet Rong Zheng here by chance.
She bowed with a smile and said, "I saw a beauty coming from a distance.
Who do I think she is?
It turns out to be my sister-in-law.
Where are you going, sister-in-law?"
Rong Zheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Third Sister is ill.
I'll go check on her."
"Oh.
I came to see the third sister.
The third sister lives in the garden."
Mu Jing said, and saw Rong Zheng coming alone.
She quickly had another thought and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is not satisfied with our house."
Familiar.
Qichun Garden is very big.
How about I show you the way to Jiao Guan?"
Rongzheng was a little puzzled by Mu Jing's hospitality, and hurriedly rejected his kindness, saying, "How dare you trouble the prince?
I have been to Jiaoguan Road when I was a guest in my house before, and I generally recognize him."
When Mu Jing heard about it, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful, so she could only say: "In that case, then sister-in-law, please go slowly."
Rongzheng was blessed and entered the garden gate.
Mu Jing took two steps and suddenly looked back at Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng's figure had already passed the corner and was soon out of sight.
He felt a little depressed in his heart and thought to himself: That stupid man who got a lot of money for nothing can actually marry a lovely wife who is ten years younger than him.
Men like young and beautiful people.
The Crown Princess is two years older than the Crown Prince, and as she has given birth to children for the Crown Prince over the years, her figure is naturally not as good as when she first entered the palace.
There were several concubines and concubines in the house, and there was also an outhouse outside.
Mu Jing was still dissatisfied.
Naturally, Rong Zheng didn't know Mu Jing's dirty thoughts.
After entering the garden, after wandering around, she had arrived at the Jiao Pavilion.
When the maids in the hotel saw it was her, they hurriedly came up to greet her and said with a smile: "Why are you here today?"
Rong Zheng said: "I came back to the mansion with the princess to pay my respects.
I heard that my third sister is ill, so I came to see her."
Another maid had already gone to pass the news.
Soon a little maid opened the curtain for Rong Zheng and invited her in.
Rongzheng approached the inner room and saw Mu Baowen leaning on the kang, with his hair hanging loosely behind his head, a quilt draped up to his chest, and a spit box on the footrest.
The room was still filled with the aroma of medicine.
When Bao Wen saw her coming, he apologized and said, "You came suddenly.
I haven't had time to clean up.
Don't be surprised."

He said he wanted to get up, but Rong Zheng held him down and said, "You are sick.
Let me check on you.
Anyway."
"Lie down and let's talk for a while."
Bao Wen nodded and smiled: "Thank you for thinking of me."
Rong Zheng saw that her face was a little sallow and she looked sick, so she asked her carefully: "How can you be well and sick at the same time?
What are the symptoms and are they severe?"
Bao Wen answered one by one.
Bao Wen was very touched that Rong Zheng came to see her.
He laughed with Rong Zheng and said, "I never expected you to be my sister-in-law.
The marriage between people is really wonderful.
My eldest brother is such a cold person. , I fell in love with you without even thinking about it.
How does my elder brother treat you?
He is such a boring person, and he never says a word.
I have never seen him really smile when you are with him all the time. , will you find it boring?”
"Ah, it's okay."
Rong Zheng felt that there was some discrepancy between the person Mu Xuan and Bao Wen said.
At least in front of her, Mu Xuan was still an informed person who could talk and laugh.
"To us, brother is just an iceberg.
We didn't expect you to melt the iceberg.
Tell me how you did it."
Faced with Baowen's curiosity, Rongzheng was a little bit dumbfounded and could only say: "What an iceberg, it's just that you don't know him well.
In fact, he is a person who knows both cold and hot."
Mu Xuan will be very attentive to the people he cares about.
Take care of her, Rong Zheng did not say this.
Mu Baowen was a little excited and started coughing before saying a few words.
Rongzheng obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, so he mentioned the fifteenth mother of the Li family.
Mu Baowen said: "During the Double Ninth Festival, she sent me two bottles of floral dew.
I liked it very much.
When it snowed for the second time, I originally invited her to come to my house to enjoy the snow, but she didn't come again.
I had to wait.
When the wintersweet blooms in the garden, I will send her a message, but you will follow them to Beijing at that time, and it will not be complete after all. " Rong Zheng smiled and said: "The fifteenth mother-in-law and her future mother-in-law are here, and she is still having fun with the concubine."
Baowen said with a smile: "Fifteen Niang and Cui Qiye are another couple."
"Miss, the fourth and fifth ladies are here."
Baowen and Rongzheng were still smiling and talking, until Baolv and Baoxiu entered the room one after another.
Seeing that Rong Zheng was there, the two little girls saluted Rong Zheng and said, "Sister-in-law, please greet me."
Rongzheng said hurriedly: "Sisters, please stop being so polite."
Baolv looked about the same age as her, and Baoxiu was about the same age as Rongsheng.
Let us say that King Yu had three sons and five daughters.
The three sons are all legitimate children, and the last three of the five daughters are concubines.
King Yu is a laid-back prince who usually doesn't care about anything.
In his eyes, he only has eyes for the prince who will inherit his title in the future, and rarely cares about other children, let alone these concubines.
I'm afraid he won't even be able to match the name with the person.
Bao Wen has a cheerful temperament and is very good at dealing with others.
In addition, her mother was from a commoner family, so she was considered a good concubine.

In front of the princess, Bao Wen is considered a concubine.
However, Baolv and Baoxiu were both daughters born to the maid of the same family.
They were also concubines and were not worth mentioning to the princess at all.
Bao Wen was quite kind to his two half-sisters, and hurriedly asked his maid to catch fruits for them to eat, while he was still chatting with Rong Zheng
