After lunch, Xie Ning asked Guo Shanggong to arrange for Princess Yuyao and Qiao Shutang to rest together, while the eldest prince and Qiao Shuying began to study books again.
Xie Ning reminded them not to bother themselves.
She was talking to Princess Mingwei in the side hall, leaning against the incense burner, and there was a warm and sweet fragrance in the room.
Princess Mingwei smelled it as soon as she came in, and couldn't help but take a deep breath: "What kind of fragrance is this?
It smells so good."
Princess Mingwei has lived a pretty good life in the past few years.
Of course, she cannot be as extravagant and extravagant as Princess Mingshou, but the emperor has given her all the dignity and honor that a princess should have.
Even the precious agarwood and ambergris are available in her house and she can afford them.
But it was the first time for Princess Mingwei to smell the fragrance in Xie Ning's side hall.
It is sweet and elegant, unlike ordinary incense that always has a smoky smell when burned.
It will inevitably make you bored and anxious after smelling it for a long time.
"It was brought into the palace by my family.
It is not a spice from the Central Plains, but a spice from the Western Regions.
It is said to be smoked and cultivated together with fruit trees and flowers.
When I clean the house in the morning, I light a small piece, and the house is full of spices all day long.
It’s this breath.
If you like it, I’ll give you half the box later.”
Princess Mingwei thanked her generously: "No wonder it smells different from our local ones.
I thought the spices from the Western Regions were very strong and pungent, but I didn't expect there to be such a good thing."
The two of them leaned there and chatted.
Princess Mingwei asked her quietly: "How does it feel to be a royal concubine?"
Xie Ning squinted his eyes and whispered: "What can I do?
It's beautiful."
Princess Mingwei smiled: "There are also some words about you and the Lin family in Jingli."
Xie Ning opened his eyes immediately and turned to look at her: "What are you talking about?"
Princess Mingwei said cheerfully: "Look, what you are scaring is a noble concubine.
How can you be so uncontrollable?
Don't worry, it's not a bad word.
Our prince-in-law listened to some outside, and I also listened to some.
Everyone said that the Lin family Yes, he is not impetuous at all, Mr.
Lin is very friendly, and Mrs.
Lin is also worth dealing with, although the newly married Mr.
Fang is a bit out of line."
"Why did Mr.
Fang go out of line?"
Xie Ning never heard anything bad about Fang Anyue "Two days ago, Mrs.
Lin's wife took her out as a guest to enjoy the plum blossoms.
It was snowing when we crossed the bamboo bridge.
Everyone was waiting for the maid to help her across.
She was doing well.
Not only did she not need anyone to help her, she got on He held Mrs.
Lin in front of her and walked across it in a few strides.
The bridge creaked as she stepped on it, and the snow fell down.
I heard that she had practiced kung fu when she was at her parents' home."
Xie Ning didn't feel surprised at all when he heard this.

The heart that he mentioned just now was relieved again.
Fang Anyue was not a person who could show off.
She would never be able to do it if she was asked to take small steps, hold up her orchid fingers, and speak with a smile on her face.
Even though she could walk, she would definitely not want to be supported by a maid.
Xie Ning also smiled: "She doesn't have so many evil intentions.
She is actually very easy to get along with."
Princess Mingwei covered her mouth with a veil and chuckled: "Of course people who understand can see it, but there are still many people who don't understand, and they say they don't dare to follow her, for fear that she will hurt people if she is stronger.
I'm also afraid that if there is a conflict during the conversation, she will take action and she will suffer a loss. " Do these people treat Fang Anyue as a monster?
Is it true that people who have learned kung fu will always hit people?
This prejudice is really ridiculous.
"It's okay, not everyone is so confused."
No one can please everyone.
Hearing Princess Mingwei say that Mrs.
Fang Anyue helped Lin cross the bridge, it showed that the relationship between their sisters-in-law was good.
Xie Ning was happy to hear this.
When Mrs.
Lin came last time, she said: "She is said to be my sister-in-law, but she is actually about the same age as your sister and sister-in-law.
I will just watch and teach you as a junior."
Since you can say this, it can be seen that Mrs.
Lin is also very satisfied with this sister-in-law.
Everything is going well for your family, and the most important thing is for your family to live well.
As for what outsiders think, that's really not a very important thing.
"By the way, have you heard about Chunhuaxuan?"
Xie Ning guessed that Princess Mingwei would mention this and take pleasure in others' misfortune.
Didn't you hear that Concubine Jin threw things and angered the palace people because of things going wrong at home?
I heard that Chunhuaxuan has not stopped in the past two days.
There was a big commotion in the palace, and Princess Mingwei also heard about it.
She was outside, and she was better informed about the news outside the palace.
"The letter from the Han family is not entirely true.
It only said that one of my family's legs was broken, but they didn't say that they also injured others.
They are not easy to bully, and the children in the family are censors.
It is lawless to accuse the Han family of bullying others.
All the papers were handed over.”
When there is a dispute between the censor and a relative, people will naturally feel that the relative is at fault.
Xie Ning did not witness what happened, but according to the information obtained by Zhou Xunchen and Hu Rong respectively, as well as the few words revealed by the emperor, both families were probably at fault in this matter, but Han The family's fault is bigger.
Although it is said that there is a mother-in-law in the family, after all, the family is still a common people, with no official or nobility.
This is an official ship with a serious official badge.
Why should I give way to your ship?
The Han family reported the name of Concubine Jin.
No., if the attitude was better and more thoughtful, maybe they would give in, but the eyes are on the top of the head, and the words are very rude.
Just for this reason, they can't let the Han family step on their heads.
"The Han family has arrived in Beijing, and this trouble has been brought to the attention of the emperor."
Princess Mingwei said softly: "I heard that the person who injured his leg had some problems with the connected bones due to the bumps on the road.
I have to pick it up again.
Not to mention the pain, I might have some minor problems in the future when my leg heals."

"I heard that too."
Concubine Jin was very angry about this matter.
First, he was angry that his younger brother had a serious leg injury, and he was afraid that something would happen to him.
If that were the case, there wouldn't be much hope for becoming an official, and Concubine Jin's plans would come to nothing.
With only such a younger brother from the same mother, how could Concubine Jin not be angry at her father, who was also a close relative, but his father married his stepmother and had children.
Naturally, Concubine Jin had to plan for other children.
Of course, Concubine Jin had to plan for her biological brother.
It's a good thing now, I'll break it before I get to the capital.
What made her even more angry was that the censor came to her house and slapped Concubine Jin hard and loudly in the face.
At the same time, the three people who were granted the title of Jin Dynasty, the imperial concubine's family had both fame and fortune, and the imperial concubine Shen's family had long since died without any worries.
Only her family had such an incident, which became the laughing stock in the palace and the capital, waiting for the Chinese New Year.
How could she go out to meet people?
If she met someone, they would ask: "How are you doing at home?
How is my brother's leg injury?"
Where to put her face?
It turned out that she wanted to sit on Concubine Shen's head at the New Year's Banquet. , now I can’t wait to pretend to be sick and not show up.
Concubine Jin felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, it would be better not to ask them to come to Beijing first, and I would rather wait a little longer.
At this moment, she forgot how anxious she was when she rushed to her hometown to send a message to her family to come to the capital.
After talking a few words about the Han family, Princess Mingwei asked: "I see that Yuyao is much more cheerful than before.
Why did Li Shuling say that she is getting better?"
"It's much better."
He talked more and smiled more.
It was Xie Ning who felt that this child might still have a knot in his heart that he had not yet opened up.
Did she remember Concubine Shu?
She didn't ask or ask.
Xie Ning didn't know if she didn't think of it, or if she remembered it but kept it in her heart and didn't tell anyone.
The emperor obviously felt guilty for this daughter.
He did not regret the handling of the Lin family's affairs, but the emperor would not shirk responsibility for his daughter's illness.
The emperor's original intention was to move her away from her at that time, so that the affairs of the Lin family and Concubine Shu would not frighten her and involve her, but he did not expect that Princess Yuyao would fall ill because of this, and it was such a serious illness.
Princess Mingwei sighed with emotion: "It's not easy for you either."
Raising other people's children is really a difficult task and should not be taken lightly or taken seriously.
The imperial concubine looks even slimmer than she did in the summer.
At that time, she was just out of confinement, and her face still had the plumpness she gained during confinement.
Now she has lost weight, which shows that her life is not easy.
"Setting arrangements are a big deal," the two said as they discussed the New Year's banquet.
Just like Concubine Shen and Concubine Jin, who is on top and who is below?
There are also people from the Toudai Prince's Palace, people from the Yue Prince's Palace, some from the Prince's Palace, and the princes and nobles.
Although it is just a small seat, in To those people, this was a big deal.
"Yes."
Xie Ning now feels that spending money is a trivial matter, and human matters are the most troublesome.
Concubine Shen's days passed again, but Concubine Jin did not come over again.
Xie Ning didn't like any of these two people and wished they wouldn't come at all.
In fact, according to the precedents mentioned by Fang Shanggong, she should be closer to one of them and more distant from the other, so that the two would start fighting on their own without her having to worry.
If she doesn't get close to her now, those two might form a group to fight against her.

But Fang Shanggong also said: "It is not the master's character to do this.
Anyway, the two people have different temperaments and it is unlikely that they will get together."
In addition to them, there are others who often come to Yong'an Palace to pay their respects.
Li Zhaorong and Liang Meiren are all friends.
Liang Meiren also brought Zhou Cairen, who lived with her, here.
Their attitude towards her was submissive and respectful, and they tried to please her in every way.
They flattered her, and Xie Ning could even tell that they were still afraid of her.
Because she is a noble concubine and is in charge of palace affairs.
More importantly, she is always favored.
Liang Meiren and the others are afraid of offending her.
If Xie Ning wants to deal with them, it will be easy.
Tang Cairen, Zhao Meiren and Liu Cairen have also been here before.
Liu Cairen couldn't even lift his head in front of Xie Ning.
They entered the palace together, were granted titles together, and even had a relationship of living together in Yingxiang Pavilion.
But now everything is different, never again
