The country can only have one heir, but if the royal family wants to realize the ambition of a prosperous era, the first step is to consolidate the imperial power and suppress the clans. First, resolve the internal strife between the royal family and the clans, and the clans. Therefore, the royal family must be united, and the heir will inherit the country. , the battle for the crown prince must come to an end, and brothers and sisters must work together. As a prince and concubine, you must also pay attention to this important task, be loyal to the king, assist your husband, and must mediate with many powerful families.

Wang Lan inevitably has selfish motives. He hopes that Ying Shu and her future husband-in-law can truly love and be harmonious. But among the princes, the prince is put aside. If the prince chooses a daughter of the Lu family, there is no need for the prince to add another daughter. Other wise helpers; the second prince's biological mother is Mrs. He, who has always been at odds with King Langyi, and Sikong Yuewu's temperament has always been a bit gloomy, which is actually not in Wang Lan's eyes; the third prince Sikong Mujiao is slightly better, His maternal grandfather, the Zheng family, is not as domineering as Jiang Donghe, but the third prince has revealed his intention to fight for the throne and has taken action for it. If he is defeated in the future, even if he is willing to reconcile with the prince, I am afraid he will not " For Yingshu, who helped the prince to win, it would be difficult for her husband and wife to reconcile.

The fourth prince, Sikong Yuehu, had no ambition to seize the heir apparent. He had long positioned himself as the right-hand man of the prince. Moreover, he was a close friend of his eldest grandson, Wang Jie, and was considered a good candidate for his fifth grandson's son-in-law. However, the fourth prince, Jilai and Yingshu, had some differences. On the other hand, when the two met, they would start to argue with each other. Thanks to the short time they met, they did not become "enemies".

The Sixth Prince is only thirteen this year. His biological mother, Concubine Liu Shu, was His Majesty’s concubine when he was living in the residence. She regards this only son as her darling. She only hopes that the Sixth Prince’s future concubine will be from a good family like her. The prince was free from the wifely spirit of the powerful family.

Wang Lan "sorted out" all the princes and agreed with Wang Jie's view. Indeed, only the fifth prince Sikong Nanci was the most suitable to be his grandson-in-law.

In a blink of an eye, it’s March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival.

Because the Pei family came to propose marriage after all, Wang Qing'e was finally willing to come out of Qingfengju to meet someone. At this time, Shangsi Festival is a festival. The custom is that on this day, the whole family goes for an outing and bathes by the water. This It is the way "ordinary people" celebrate the Shangsi Festival, and there is also the "unusual" way - on the day of Shangsi, the eight powerful families will take turns to hold the Qushui Meeting. The Qushui Meeting will not only be attended by the children of each family, but also Girls over the age of twelve from high-ranking clans will be invited to attend, and even princes will come to join in the fun. This year, it was the Xie family of Chen County's turn to host the Qushui Party in Shangsi.

Wang Qing'e knew that because of the order to select concubines, it was determined that all the girls who should be selected to enter the palace would attend the Qushui Meeting. As Mrs. Xie personally selected Yingshu, the girls from the Xie family would definitely attend the Qushui Meeting. Deliberately letting Yingshu stand out in the limelight is called "building momentum", which is equivalent to announcing to everyone that King Langyi's daughter will be "taken care of" by Mrs. ".

Of course, Yingshu could not even bathe with Chenjun Xie's girls. Qushui would hold a banquet in Shenshi. Before the banquet, early in the morning, many girls of King Langyi would "lead" "Go out for an outing in the countryside, find a stream and canal, and surround yourself with a tent to bathe in accordance with the custom.

It is said to be in the suburbs, but in fact the surrounding area is within the scope of Langyi Wang's villa. The area was cleared first. The female relatives can safely and boldly undress here, wearing only underwear that exposes their shoulders and an inner skirt that just reaches their ankles. , playing in the water and bathing, Wang Qing'e sat on a stream stone, hanging her feet, only immersing her calves in the stream. She just watched the sisters in the clan surrounding Ying Shu, with an inexplicable coldness at the corner of her lips.

Don't be proud, you will know when you enter the palace, what kind of snake-hearted people those women in the palace have! Even Mrs. Xie is a cruel and ruthless woman for her own benefit. She only cares about her current glory. I will wait for the day you die in the palace.

A maid came wading into the water, and she was the only maid beside Wang Qing'e, Yingsong. The maid still knelt down in the stream, bowed her head and raised her arms to offer vanilla dew. Only then did Wang Qing'e put fragrant dew on her shoulders and arms before entering the water. She saw Looking at Yingsong's respectful "stupid" look, he looked at Yingshu's "four concubines" again, frowned again, then paddled over, raised his chin and confessed to the sisters in the clan: "I have something to say. Talk to Fifth Sister alone."

Yingshu was standing in the water, holding on to the silk rope pulled by the maids with one hand. Her long hair floated on the water like algae, and water stains stained her shiny forehead. She was shorter than Wang Qing'e. Some, even if she turned her face up, could not completely avoid her fourth sister's cave-like nostrils.

"Fifth sister, I used to coax you to play." Wang Qing'e also pulled the silk rope and faced Ying Shu face to face: "There is no such thing as rebirth. You must not believe what I say. I don't want to enter the palace. It's because I have a soft spot for Pei Jiulang. Fifth sister, I'm telling you the truth for your own good. Don't have any prejudice against Mrs. Xie. After you enter the palace, you'd better listen to Mrs. Xie on everything."

A canal of spring water is filled with whitening sunshine. It is the first good time of the year. This time is actually like a girl who has just grown her hair. She begins to lose the tenderness of her childhood years, and her brows and corners of her eyes become brighter. She is charming and coquettish in her heart. After she left the boudoir before she had saved up, she gradually experienced the filth and filth caused by the evils of the world. In fact, Yingshu did not understand that it was not because of her that Wang Qing'e died in the palace. The fourth sister was as pitiful as the fourth sister. However, hatred should not be placed on her head.

But after her rebirth, one thing this cousin did was to deliberately trick her into death.

Wang Qing'e had already got her wish, but she still wanted to coax her to let down her guard and "honestly" become Mrs. .

The method is stupid, but the heart is very vicious.

Yingshu smiled: "Fourth sister, this is unnecessary. Of course I know that Mrs. Xie will not harm me. My mother-in-law and Mrs. Xie are close friends, and Mrs. Xie has always loved me as if she were a junior in the family."

"That's good." Wang Qing'e stretched out her hand, picked up a plum petal stuck to Yingshu's slender collarbone, and flicked it gently. The petal drifted away with the running water, and the corners of her lips felt heavy and weak. He raised the corners of his lips as if: "I just hope that after entering the palace, the fifth sister will be favored by the saint soon, give birth to a dragon son smoothly, and rise to great heights."

This blessing actually has a somewhat vicious meaning.

However, Yingshu still smiled and lowered her voice: "I also have something to say to Fourth Sister from the bottom of my heart. Don't always look at others and be jealous of their lives. Peace and joy are not easy to come by. Fourth Sister is already lucky enough."

In the distance, aunt Shen waved to Yingshu. Yingshu knew that it was time for her to go ashore and go back to her tent to dress up, so she swam over like a fish, and Wang Qing'e turned her back.

The whole face became pitch black in the bright spring light.

What does it mean to get one's wish? She had always hoped for a grand marriage, but reality proved that her already weak family was unable to marry into the Eight Great Powers. She did not have a soft spot for Pei Jiulang. Her delicate hands first thanked Chen Jun. Qilang stretched out his hand, but Xie Qilang looked elegant and generous, but in fact he was an ordinary man who only valued profit. Among the children of aristocratic families she could come into contact with, Pei Yu was the only one who was a true "celebrity" who only valued talent!

After all, Yang Xianpei is only from a middle-class family. Pei Yu's father is the second son, and Pei Yu is the second son's second son. Not only did she become a veritable low-married woman, she was actually disliked by Pei Yu's stepmother Gu, and planned to come. The list of betrothal gifts was quite satisfactory and did not show the slightest regard for her.

Moreover, under the instructions of her grandfather, the eldest aunt Shen was only willing to prepare a dowry for her according to the customs of the duke. Her biological mother only left the dowry to her two legitimate sons and was only willing to give her two boxes of money and silk as a dowry. , like sending a beggar away! ! !

It was time to prepare for marriage, but her third aunt, who was from Jiangdonglu, did not show any sign. You must know that when the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister left the cabinet, the third aunt received a generous sum of money! ! After Wang Yingshu entered the palace, what use would the property of the third house be left behind? If the third aunt had been wiser and helped her to have a good time when she got married, she could have said something kind to Wang Yingshu in front of the elders of Pei Yu's maternal family, Jiangdong He, and taught Mrs. He not to target Wang Yingshu directly. The third aunt would not give her Face, then don't blame her for being cruel.

As for the Shangsi Qushui Meeting, women and female family members under the age of twelve will not attend as a rule. Therefore, neither Shen nor Lu will go to the venue set up by Xie in Chenjun in Huaxi Garden, Wuyi Lane. They see After Qingying finished dressing Yingshu, she said a few words to Yingshu, then sat on the bank and watched the girls at home playing in the water. In this moment, her sister-in-law Yao had disappeared.

Mrs. Shen lowered her eyelids slightly: "Today, the sons and daughters are going to Qushui Hui, and Er Di is going to see off San Lang and Wu Lang. This is not surprising. What's funny is that she seems to have completely forgotten that Qing'e is still here and leaves. He didn’t even come before us to tell us, please take care of him.”

"Sister-in-law has such big ideas, I'm too lazy to take care of her." Lu, still angry, snorted softly.

"If I were you, I would have the same attitude." Mrs. Shen was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Qing'e is getting married, and there is only one useful maid by her side. She asked her mother-in-law, and she asked me to persuade her. You said that Qing'e has taken a liking to Qing'e, who is beside Di Xiu... What my mother-in-law means is that Emperor Xiu will never be able to control Qing'e from now on, so it's better to just follow Qing'e's wishes."

"Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed. I'll go back to my mother-in-law on my own. How could Si Niang have fallen in love with Qing Nao? She is so jealous! When Emperor Xiu named Qing Nao, he was still young. In addition, Siniang only has a nickname and does not use a first name at all. The servants and maids have always not avoided the nicknames of female masters. Otherwise, there are so many female masters in the clan, and the nicknames and first names have to be tabooed for the servants. It was too troublesome to name them, and just because of this, Siniang became very concerned about it.

Let's just argue. Emperor Xiu originally wanted to give Qing Nao another name, but Siniang refused to let her go. She insisted on saying that this was Qing Nao's deliberate provocation against her. She instigated Emperor Xiu to not hesitate and wanted Qing Nao to be executed. , Di Xiu got angry and simply stopped changing Qing Ying’s name. After so many years, Siniang still remembers this. If I give Qing Nao’s body contract to her, she will kill Qing Nao immediately! Servants are also human beings and have committed no crimes. I cannot let Siniang harm others, not to mention those around Di Xiu, let alone maids and attendants. Even if it is a cat, a dog, a flower or a grass, others cannot even think of taking it. "

"Sandi's wife, although my mother-in-law has not taken care of the family affairs in recent years, she is still a little bit worried about the third brother's refusal to take a concubine and step-children. Mother-in-law is not willing to embarrass the third brother, but she is not willing to embarrass the third brother. …When I speak, I should think more carefully about my words.”

"I know my sister-in-law has good intentions." Mrs. Lu held the cup and took a sip of plum blossom wine: "Erlang and Silang are both good boys. No matter which one of them, my sister-in-law is not willing to give us a third house, but it is the second sister-in-law who really wants to Let Wu Lang be adopted, but the second sister-in-law’s temperament is willing to stop interfering with Wu Lang’s affairs, and let Wu Lang seriously recognize her husband as his father and me as his mother? It’s not that we don’t want to adopt a stepchild, but the second sister-in-law has been blocking it, and wants to be a small clan. It is simply impossible to have a stepchild, and considering my husband’s temperament, he doesn’t care at all whether he has any heirs to support him in his old age.”

"I have been thinking about the third wife's consideration." Mrs. Shen sighed: "I know that if the third wife decides to adopt Si Lang as his heir, she will no longer be blamed by her mother-in-law, and she can also block the second wife. A woman’s mouth.”

Wang Silang, Wang Mao, was riding a horse at this time, talking and laughing with Ying Shu.
