Concubine Shu's appearance was so well maintained that she looked like a young woman in her twenties. Lian Jinrong presented the gift and said with envy: "Cousin, why are you so young? You look like you are still unmarried... …”
Concubine Shu smiled: "Laugh, you can make me happy!"
"I'm not trying to make you happy. I'm telling the truth. When I talk about my boudoir, I can't help but think of the days when we embroidered and talked together. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. My cousin hasn't changed, but I'm getting older..." Jin Rong sighed.
In fact, she is not old and her beauty is still there.
Concubine Shu also said with emotion when she heard this: "Yes, the children have grown up, how can we not grow old? I heard that you were angry with the general a while ago. After so many years, okay, now you are for what?"
Lian Jinrong was expecting her to raise this issue, so she quickly pulled out her handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes: "Cousin, logic says that family ugliness should not be made public, but cousin is not an outsider. I told my cousin that she will never laugh at me... "
"Yes, we are sisters, why are we joking?"
"Speaking of sisters, I feel that my cousin is much closer than my sister who has the same father. All this is not because of Lian Jinyu, who said there is a difference between concubine and concubine, and doting on a concubine takes precedence over a wife. It's not because of her. I didn't want to take charge of things before, so I reluctantly took over this mess. After taking care of things for so many years, I didn't get half as good as I did. Now she wants to take back the power and manage it herself. To put it bluntly, she accuses me of many crimes and frames me. , you said that I ordered people to serve the guests with leftovers. You said that even if I was really harsh, I would never slap myself in the face in front of the prince or the general, right? How could I be so stupid? ?" Lian Jinrong had a look of hatred on her face, "And my nephew, he only recognizes his biological aunt. When something like that happened, he didn't say a word for me, but fanned the wind and started a fire next to him. I figured it out. Isn’t it because he climbed up to the crown prince’s high branch? There is no one else in his eyes, and he even thinks that I am not as capable as his biological aunt. The prince is so favored that he insists on dining with him..."
Lian Jinrong's words made Concubine Shu's face change several times, and she finally said: "They are too bullying!"
"Yes, cousin, the general was deceived by Lian Jinyu. He didn't remember the love we had for many years as husband and wife, and even beat me. If he said it, he would be really shameless..." As she said this, she started to cry. .
Concubine Shu sighed: "What's the point of crying? Then An Zhongtao is too bold. He only knows that the legitimate daughter of their Lian family has the support of the prince, but he doesn't know that you have a cousin like me?"
"The general has a stubborn temper, but he is sincere. He would not be like this if not for the encouragement of Lian Jinyu and his daughter!".
Hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled: "You really feel sorry for your general."
"I made my cousin laugh..." Lian Jinrong wiped her eyes and looked around, "Where is that child Ye'er?"
"He has gone to pay his respects to his father!"
"Ye'er is such a nice kid!" Lian Jinrong exclaimed, "It's also strange that Yanran likes Ye'er very much and has gotten along with him since she was a child. Now Ye'er came to the general's mansion and they were chatting happily. They looked at the two The two children are so perfect together... I wonder if my sister has engaged Ye'er? Do you have a suitable candidate in mind? "
Concubine Shu is as smart as ice and snow, and with such an obvious hint, how could she not understand it? However, she also has her own plans in mind. Although they are both daughters of the General's Mansion, their status is of course different from that of a legitimate daughter and a concubine. She
If it was for her cousin, there would be no problem, but she had to think about her son. Having a general as her backing would be of great benefit to the future. She was eyeing An Qingran, who was a legitimate daughter, but An Yanran, who was born by concubine, could not get her turn.
So, she said: "It's okay Ye'er, I still have to discuss his marriage with the emperor. It's all up to the emperor to decide!"
