Little Wang quickly received the news, and the eldest lady asked Mrs. Liu to assist in the affairs of the eldest house.
After waiting for a long time, the eldest lady did not send anyone to look for her. She was afraid that she had been left behind. She was very dissatisfied. She ran to the ancestral hall to talk to the madam for a few words.
Unexpectedly, the Madam didn't take her side and scolded her a few words. She also asked the three of them, mother and daughter, to obey the eldest lady's orders from now on.
Little Wang was very angry.
The eldest lady is the eldest daughter and the elder sister of the crown prince. Although she is the aunt, she is still the elder after all, right? Moreover, why do you let Mrs. Liu, who entered the family later than her, get the upper hand over her?
I muttered some dissatisfying words to my two daughters, Bi Zhu and Bi Yue.
The two daughters were raised well by her, and she tried to reason with her: "Auntie, the madam is not here, and the madam will not be a monk in a short time, so the matter of the eldest brother going out to socialize will not fall on you?"
Little Wang was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh: "Yes, my aunt didn't even think of it. It's time for you sisters to kiss each other, and my aunt is just in time to help you with your eyes!"
Seeing their aunt counting the young men from various families in the capital, the two sisters looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, "Auntie, then you should think carefully about it. Let's go find the eldest sister."
Well?
"Then you go. You need to get along well with your eldest sister and fifth brother." She has no children. She will take care of her old age in the mansion, and she has to look at the prince's face. She doesn't want her two daughters to have a bad relationship with the prince's siblings.
Mrs. Liu and Bigui often go to Xianglan Courtyard, and it is hard to forget Bizhu and Biyue.
Huo Xi's courtyard became lively.
In addition to Bi Ke and Zhang Mao who come to eat almost every day, there are also Bi Zhu and Bi Yue.
Sometimes Zhang Bin, Zhang Xuan and the children from the second and third bedrooms would come over. I don’t know whether it was because the food in Xianglan Yuan was so fragrant or something else, but Xianglan Yuan has been bustling ever since.
Within a few days, Huo Nian's legs were completely healed. Thinking about the imperial concubine's words, Huo Xi took him into the palace to see the imperial concubine, and also brought the three sisters Bi Ke and Bi Zhu Bi Yue with him.
Little Wang and Liu were so excited that they almost pushed them in.
In recent years, when the wives came to the palace, they always brought Zhang Jie and Baguio, or their legitimate children with two or three bedrooms. How could the concubines they gave birth to have the chance to enter the palace?
Bizhu and the others had only heard that there was an aunt in the palace, but they had never even seen what the aunt looked like.
Xiao Wang and Liu came to Xianglan Courtyard and said thank you to Huo Xi.
Especially little Wang was very excited.
If Bi Zhu Bi Yue wins the favor of the imperial concubine, there will be people in the capital who come to seek marriage without the imperial concubine having to speak up for them.
"Thank you, Miss! From now on, whenever you are told by Miss, just speak up and I will never give up!"
As for the little Wang family, although her surname is Wang, she is the wife's natal family, and the imperial concubine is her cousin, neither of her two daughters has entered the palace.
Now the eldest lady is willing to take them into the palace. But she is very excited.
But for the childless concubine, living in the inner courtyard of the palace and not much favored, life was very boring.
I am very happy to be able to see my nieces and nephews from my mother's family occasionally.
"This is Bizhu Bigui. She's grown so big? Is this Bigui? She's really chubby."
The imperial concubine was in a good mood. She was very fond of the innocent and cute Bigui with a fleshy face. She pulled her and Nian'er to sit beside her and talked to them.
Seeing that the imperial concubine was approachable, Bizhu and Biyue also relaxed, chatted with the imperial concubine about their daily life, and even stayed in the palace to have lunch.
After the three sisters were led by the palace maid to play in the garden, the imperial concubine took Huo Nian and Huo Xi to talk.
"I didn't expect that Mrs. Wu would assassinate your father. If your father falls, our family will be in trouble."
There are so many honorable people in the capital, and a palace without a backbone is bound to be stepped down.
Patted Huo Xi's hand: "Thanks to you, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Just thinking about it makes me feel so panicked that I can't sleep."
Thinking of the madam again, she sighed: "Your grandmother did something wrong. She will recite a year's sutra to your mother in the ancestral hall to atone for her sins. Don't hate her. It's not easy for her for the sake of the family."
Seeing that both siblings pursed their lips, they sighed again.
"We all have the blood of the Zhang family and have enjoyed the benefits brought by the family. When the family is in need, we naturally have to sacrifice for the family. In this life, there will be gains and losses. At that time, I was also at the age of getting married.
I also look forward to marrying into a good family, being a good wife, caring for my husband and raising children..."
But her mother sent her to Prince Yan's Mansion. From then on, she was locked up in the backyard with no freedom.
She has been walking on thin ice these years.
"If it weren't for the military exploits of my father and brother, and if our family hadn't become more and more important, I would have been eaten alive. Xi'er, although we women will get married in the future and bear our husband's surname, but
If our natal family is weak, we will not be able to stand up straight. Do you know?"
Huo Xi didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.
He nodded towards the imperial concubine: "My niece knows."
"Okay, it's good that you know! When you get married in the future and take charge of the family, you may be able to understand your grandmother."
Then he turned around and stroked Nian'er's face, "I heard that Nian'er likes to read military books and listen to your father talk about war stories. Then you must learn from your father and carry forward the family in the future, so that you can protect the sisters in the family and let others
Your sister straightened her back at her husband's house."
Huo Nian nodded heavily: "Yes! I will be my sister's strongest support in the future! Auntie, Nian'er must learn from my father!"
"Good boy!" The imperial concubine looked pleased.
The group of people returned to the house with the gifts from the imperial concubine.
The three of them, Bizhu, Biyue and Bigui, all had smiles on their faces. When they got home, they showed off to Xiao Wang and Liu how big and gorgeous the palace the imperial concubine lived was, how beautiful the flowers in the imperial garden were, and how delicious the imperial dishes were.
.
After Xiao Wang and Liu heard this, they were told to get along well with the Huo Xi siblings.
And Zhang Biyao also learned about these things.
Thinking that his mother may never come back, his brother still doesn't know how to live in the future. His mother has doted on him since he was a child, making him look squeamish and unable to take on tasks. If he can't become a man or a warrior, how will he live in the future?
Without his mother to plan for him, what future would he have?
Full of anxiety.
Someone called the younger brother to the East Palace. The two siblings hugged each other and cried.
"Sister, I want my mother!"
"There will be no mother anymore."
"I don't want it, I don't want it! I want my mother!" In just a few days, Zhang Jie fell from heaven to hell.
Without his mother, he will no longer be the most noble young master in the house.
Not to mention that the cousins in the second and third bedrooms who were protected by their mothers were better off than him, even Zhang Mao, who lived in the eldest house without a mother, lived better than him with his eldest sister taking care of him.
Zhang Biyao wiped away her tears and comforted him: "Don't cry, your mother is not here, you still have your sister and your father."
"I have no father! My father only sees Zhang Yuzhong, not me! I don't want him anymore!"
"shut up!"
Zhang Biyao scolded. His mother is gone, and she is not in the house. If his brother no longer relies on his father, who can he rely on? If he loses his father's heart, it will only be more difficult for him in the future.
