Yang Jingting's carriage and sedan quickly arrived outside Prince Xiang's Mansion. At this time, a group of selected servants and concubines were all waiting inside the Chengyun Gate.
She is the concubine of the palace, and it is natural for people with lower status than her to greet her.
After being carried into the palace, Yang Jingting was supported by the maid. After getting off the sedan, his eyes glanced at the people waiting in front.
With Ke Qing as the leader, everyone bowed and saluted: "Welcome your empress back to your home!"
"We haven't seen each other for more than a year, why are we so different... Why is your empress not your empress?" Yes, we are all sisters!" Yang Jingting stepped forward with a smile.
Her words and her expression at this moment made people feel like a spring breeze, allowing everyone to see Baochai's shadow.
"Ke Qing, you have gained some weight recently..."
"Yinglian, how tall is the girl now?"
"Girl Qin, Still so energetic..."
What does it mean to be comprehensive? Yang Jingting gave a very standard interpretation, which shows that her skills have become more calm and sophisticated.
Everyone was concerned about her, and felt somewhat warm in their hearts. After all, Yang Jingting did a good job.
A little half a step behind her, everyone was talking and laughing as they walked deeper into the palace.
Behind them, there was a maid holding the son born to Yang Jingting, who had been named Lord Zhu Muwu by Zhu Jinghong.
Zhang Xiaoyue and Li Huizhen also followed the crowd. In the past, they did not have such qualifications, but they were specially ordered by Yang Jingting.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived outside Tongxin Hall.
The door of Tongxin Hall was open at this moment. When Yang Jingting walked in, she could already see Baochai sitting on the main seat.
The same was true in reverse. Baochai also saw Yang Jingting walking in front, surrounded by people and looking at her.
Of course, Daiyu and Baoqin, who were around Baochai at this moment, also saw the extraordinary situation outside.
Yang Jingting was in high spirits, Daiyu felt it deeply, and also knew that this visitor was not kind, so she subconsciously glanced at Baochai.
But Baochai's expression was so calm that he slowly picked up the teacup and focused his attention on the tea soup.
"Sister Lin, today's tea... seems a bit astringent, what do you think?"
"Sister Bao is the head of the palace. Which slave does not make tea carefully? My sister will punish me." Yes!" Daiyu said with a faint smile.
Baochai shook his head slightly and said: "That's all... I will be punished for small things. In the future, everyone in the palace will say that I am harsh!"
The two of them were chatting about tea. On the side, Bao Qin couldn't help it. When Yang Jingting was about to step on the steps in front of the Tongxin Hall, she muttered in a low voice: "Sister, look at how...she looks so arrogant. I don't know, I thought she was a princess!" < /p>
Hearing this, Baochai put down the tea cup a little heavily, and then scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's getting more and more unruly!"
"I..."
Baoqin was about to explain, but at this time Yang Jingting had already climbed up the steps, and she heard Baochai scold: "Get down!"
Seeing that her cousin was really angry, Baoqin didn't dare to If you talk any more, you can only retreat to the side hall.
At the same time, Daiyu had already taken the initiative to stand up and greeted Yang Jingting who came in with a smile.
"Meet Miss Yang!"
It is said that it is just a matter of watching what is served. Yang Jingting went to Jinling for a trip, and she knew very well the importance of Daiyu to Zhu Jinghong.
When others saluted, she always said "no need to be polite", but when Daiyu saluted, she took the initiative to help her.
"Sister Lin, are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, I am now well-trained and well-conditioned, and I am much better!"
Speaking of this , Daiyu said with a smile: "My queen is returning to Beijing this time. The journey has been tiring, but Sister Bao is very worried about me!"
"Sister Bao is going back today, and Sister Bao has been waiting here. I've drank several pots of tea!"
At this time, Baochai laughed and scolded from behind: "You girl, I have such an appetite, how many pots of tea can I drink!"
Hearing Baochai speak, Yang Jingting immediately crossed Daiyu, saluted Baochai and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Princess, but I'm really scared!"
"Why are there words of fear?" Baochai asked with a smile. .
Yang Jingting replied extremely humbly: "In such a large palace, everything inside and outside is all shouldered by the princess. If the princess is worried and troubled because of my concubine, how can I not feel panic?" !”
“You are so flattering to me. The prince is responsible for such a huge palace, how can I afford it?”
“The prince is in charge of the outside, and the princess is in charge of the house. Both are indispensable, why should the princess be too modest?"
Baochai remained calm and said with a gentle smile: "Take a seat, you are the only one who has suffered a disaster, how tired it is to stand and talk!"
p>"Thank you, Princess, for your consideration!"
After thanking her, Yang Jingting sat in the first seat on the left, and she was indeed qualified to sit here.
"You all should sit down!" Baochai continued.
Then Keqing and others found their own seats and sat down according to their position and the order of being granted titles.
As for the seat opposite Yang Jingting, Daiyu was sitting there just now, but now she can't sit there anymore.
At this time, Yang Jingting said: "Sister Lin, please sit down too. You are a distinguished guest of the palace... you should sit in the front!"
Hearing this, she asked the people in the side hall to Bao Qin became more and more unhappy.
It wasn't that Daiyu could sit in the front and she was driven to the side hall, but she couldn't stand Yang Jingting giving orders in Tongxin Hall, as if she was the master here.
But in fact, Bao Qin really thought too much, and Yang Jingting simply wanted to sell Daiyu.
"How dare you, little girl!" Daiyu said extremely humbly.
Strictly speaking, everyone with status here has a higher status than her.
Even if she canWhen taking a seat, you should sit at the back, not at the front.
This sitting down will make many people feel uncomfortable. Daiyu’s scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
"Girl Ting is right, you are a distinguished guest of the palace... just come and sit here!"
Looking at the people in the hall, Baochai continued: "The prince treats you very much. He cares about you, if he neglects you and he finds out, I'm afraid I'll have to complain!"
With her as the princess speaking, and with Zhu Jinghong being moved out, no one would dare to feel resentful.
Even though Daiyu understood what Baochai meant, she still replied: "The princess gave me the seat and I shouldn't have said it, but there are differences between superiors and inferiors, and there are distinctions between superior and inferior..."
Before Daiyu finished speaking, she saw Keqing stood up from her seat, walked up to her and said, "Sister Lin... The princess has said that you are a distinguished guest, so what else can you say about superiority and inferiority? How can this be? How to treat guests?"
As he pulled Daiyu to her seat, Keqing "pressed" her down directly, and then said, "If you continue to be polite, you are being disrespectful!"
"Empress, do you think so?" Ke Qing turned back to look at Baochai.
"What you said is absolutely true!" Baochai replied with a smile.
The position of Baochai’s number one supporter can be seen to be firmly secured by Keqing.
Yang Jingting had a smile on her face, but she snorted coldly in her heart. This chorus made her very uncomfortable.
"You two, why don't you come in to see the princess?" Yang Jingting shouted outside.
Everyone's attention was attracted by him, and then they all looked outside the hall, and saw Zhang Xiaoyue and Li Huizhen walking in.
"Kowtow to the princess, hello to you empresses!"
These two people are extremely humble, because everyone here is much higher than them.
"Princess, the two of them accepted the prince's order and stayed in Jinling to take care of their concubines. The prince had previously intended to promote them, so I asked them to kowtow to you!"
< p> Regarding the issue of giving positions to Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Xiaoyue, Zhu Jinghong did not directly express his position at the time. Yang Jingting's words were suspected of "falsely passing on imperial edicts."Of course, it was just a suspicion. Zhu Jinghong had acquiesced at that time, and it was impossible for him to delve into this matter.
It was precisely because of understanding this that Yang Jingting dared to do this.
"Oh? That's how it is!"
Baochai then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Xiaoyue, who looked at the ground in a polite manner.
"By the way, where is the child? Come and show me!" Baochai changed the subject.
Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Xiaoyue were very disappointed, but they did not dare to say a word at this time, because
Yang Jingting winked, and a maid came in with the child in her arms. Zhu Muwu was still there at this moment. Asleep.
When the maid approached, Baochai stretched out her hand, and the former could only hand the child out.
Baochai is the legitimate mother, and it is only natural to hold her own child, but this scene makes Yang Jingting worried.
She regarded Baochai as an enemy, and now that the enemy has taken her life away, of course Yang Jingting will be extremely worried.
Although she knew that Baochai would never do anything extreme, she was very worried.
"Wunai is the sacred tree of the Phoenix. What a good name!" Baochai raised his head and said.
Yang Jingting smiled and replied: "The prince named it himself, which shows that he has worked hard!"
Zhu Muzhen was named by the emperor, and Zhu Muwu was the first named by Zhu Jinghong. Son, so the tone of her words was actually strange.
In Yang Jingting's view, this is of extraordinary significance. It was pointed out "accidentally" at this moment, which somewhat hurt Baochai's meaning.
But how could she know that although the name was named after Zhu Jinghong, the actual process was handled by Baochai.
After all, the name next to the wooden character has been widely used in the royal family. It is really difficult to think of a better one.
Zhu Jinghong didn't want to take the trouble, so he naturally let Baochai do the work.
So Yang Jingting's words did no harm to Baochai, and the latter even wanted to laugh a little.
"Since he is sleeping soundly, I won't disturb him!" Baochai said with a smile.
The maid on the side took it carefully and then stepped aside. At this moment, Yang Jingting's heart dropped.
She has made up her mind that she must get custody of her child and must not let Baochai cause harm.
The daughter born to Keqing and Yinglian must not pose any threat to the position of the crown prince or even that position, so that she can successfully obtain custody. Yang Jingting believes that things may not be so simple for her son.
After seeing the child, everyone started talking about Jinling. Yang Jingting was also prepared and mentioned the Xue family in Jinling many times.
When she was recuperating in Jinling, the Xue family did come to visit her frequently, and most of the time it was Xia Yuegui.
In fact, when Daiyu first arrived, she mentioned Xia Yuegui many times, with many words of praise and gratitude in her words.
Baochai is now very satisfied with the sister-in-law she chose, so she will be given greater authority later.
With Princess Xiang’s power endorsement and Xia Yuegui’s own skill, her words in the Xue family are now much more useful than Xue Pan’s.
In a patriarchal society, this is undoubtedly extremely rare.
Half an hour passed after this chat. It happened that Zhu Muwu woke up and cried loudly at this time, so Yang Jingting got up and went to take care of her personally. This chat with different thoughts was over.
Just at this moment, a maid came outside to report that the Crown Princess had invited Baochai to come over to admire the plum blossoms.
Ever since, after welcoming Yang Jingting, Baochai started a new journey.
In fact, she also had arrangements in the afternoon. She was invited by the wife of the Duke of Tui to go to the theater. The family bought a few new girls, and it was said that they could sing Kunqu opera very well.
Such a trip happens every now and then. In addition to the weddings and funerals, Baochai is really very happy at ordinary times.Very busy.
After everyone dispersed, Yang Jingting returned to her small courtyard. At this time, Yihe Courtyard had already been tidied up, and everything was the same as when she left.
Entering the entrance of the main hall of Yihe Garden, Yang Jingting asked: "Where did the prince go?" The generals are hunting!"
As he sat down, Yang Jingting ordered: "Call the two of them over!"
"Yes!"
After taking a breath, Zhang Xiaoyue and two others entered the room and saluted Yang Jingting according to etiquette.
"Don't worry about your affairs. Even if the princess is unwilling, I will help you two achieve your wishes!"
"Thank you, empress!" The two paid homage again.
It’s just that there are different ranks. For example, Zhang Xiaoyue understood that Yang Jingting said that the princess was unwilling, just to make herself resentful.
Although he cannot choose his stance, Zhang Xiaoyue sees things more clearly and will act more appropriately in the future.
She just wants to climb up steadily, not to be someone else's knife.
"Get up, you two have worked hard and achieved great results. This is what you deserve!"
The three people here are talking about harmonious things. Baochai has packed up and headed to the East Palace. .
Seeing that Bao Qin was still unhappy, Daiyu stepped forward and asked, "Sister Bao is doing this for your own good, so don't be sulky!"
"Why am I angry with my sister?" , I'm worried about her!" Bao Qin frowned.
Her appearance made Daiyu smile.
"Why are you laughing?" Baoqin became more and more dissatisfied.
"I laugh at some people...the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!"
"I won't tell you anymore!" Baoqin turned around and looked out the window.
Waving away the maids on the left and right, and asking them to close the door, Dai Yufang came to Baoqin and whispered: "Sister Baoqin is as stable as Mount Tai, why do you need to worry about the sky!"
" As stable as a mountain? She is the Queen's niece, and now she has given birth to..."
"Looking at her just now, you really thought she was the princess..."
"So-called You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of guarding against others. You are really..." Bao Qin spoke eloquently, and Daiyu looked at her as she spoke, always with a smile on her face.
Seeing that Daiyu was out of breath, Baoqin couldn't help but raise his tone and asked: "Are you listening to me?"
"Let me ask you, in this palace Who has the final say?"
"Of course..."
This question seemed easy to answer, but Baoqin hesitated and finally answered tentatively: "My brother-in-law. ?"
"Yes...then think about it again, today Concubine Yang returns to Beijing, where is your sister-in-law?"
"In Shanglin Garden, hunting with His Majesty!
Daiyu picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Shooting is in the afternoon, and the morning is preparation time. HeHe didn't have to go so early, but he was invited by the Dragon Guards to go! "
"So? ”
“So in your brother-in-law’s heart, Concubine Yang seems to have little weight! "
Bao Qin thought about it and found that it did make sense, and then she felt a little less worried.
"But she is the Queen's niece after all, she..."
“The queen’s niece was also imprisoned by her old man. If it weren’t for your sister’s understanding... I’m afraid she would still be locked up now! ”
Daiyu knew very well what happened in the past two years. After all, she lived in Kunning Palace.
After hearing these Baoqin, she felt more at ease, but she He also said: "It's important to be on guard against others. Sister, she doesn't take it to heart. She will only be afraid of..."
"Don't worry, your sister's heart is like a bright mirror, and her thoughts and worries are better than yours." Much more! "Daiyu's smile became even brighter.
"If you could understand your sister, I'm afraid she would have been squeezed out of the position of princess! "
Daiyu's words really made Baoqin not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed to mean that she was stupid.
"That's good! "Recent transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
