At this time, the servants from Prince Yong's Mansion came in with tea. Prince Yong raised his hand and gestured to Jiu Beile: "Jinu brother, sit down and drink tea."
Jiu Beile was not polite and sat down on the chair. Jiu Beile glanced at Prince Yong and saw that he was in a good mood. He twitched his lips and spoke out the questions in his heart.
"Why didn't Bage's direct descendants Fujin and Clan Fujin report to the palace that they were pregnant? If it hadn't been for Bage telling me today, I wouldn't have known that my two sisters-in-law were pregnant."
Prince Yong was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ninth brother, I originally wanted to inform the palace of this matter as soon as possible, but as you know, I have been married for many years before I had a child named Hongshi, so this aspect is especially
Be careful, I want to wait until the fetal image of both of them is stable before I write a note and tell Huang Ama."
Jiu Beile listened and nodded.
"Bago should pay more attention. If he is in that position, it would be better to have more heirs." Jiu Beile thought for a moment and worried about the future.
However, Prince Yong quickly turned the topic to the court. Speaking of Prince Lian's recent actions, Prince Yong couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"Recently, the fourth brother has secretly made a lot of friends. It seems that he has made new moves."
Jiu Beile stood up and walked around, and after a while he suggested: "Why don't you find someone to tell the story about the fourth brother's friendship with the ministers?"
Prince Yong was thoughtful. It was not that he had never thought of this method, but he had never found a suitable candidate.
Prince Yong had no choice but to express his concerns: "It's not that I haven't thought about this idea, Ninth Brother, but I don't know who to choose to report this matter."
Jiu Beile narrowed his eyes and thought about possible names in his mind. After thinking about it, it seemed that Xu De, the Minister of Rites, was suitable, and Mr. Gu, a colleague who had always been close to Xu De, was Jiu Beile's disciple.
Old story.
"Bago, I think there is a suitable person - Xu De, the Minister of Rites!"
Prince Yong was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses: "Are you talking about Mr. Gu's colleague under your sect?"
Jiu Beile nodded without knowing it, as if he had found a way to solve the deadlock, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The matter was figured out, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Jiu Beile then sat on the chair again, picked up the tea and took a sip. However, thinking of a nursery rhyme in Beijing in recent days, Jiu Beile was a little frightened.
He turned to look at Prince Yong again and said seriously: "Did Brother Bata listen to a nursery rhyme that was played outside recently?"
Prince Yong shook his head. He had been busy with political affairs these days, how could he care about the nursery rhymes outside?
"What nursery rhyme? Come and listen to it."
Jiu Beile's face turned pale when he thought of the nursery rhyme he heard in the market. He didn't know where it came from. He had heard it in more than one market.
Jiu Beile sighed, and seeing the curious look on Prince Yong's face, he said in a cold voice: "It has been spread in the market, saying that 'the nine sons of the dragon are different, the fourth son takes the dragon chair, and the eighth son
The nine sons will lose their lives, and the remaining six will have a hard time. Brother Bago, look at this nursery rhyme, it simply means something."
Prince Yong was shocked by these words, and he waved his hand, obviously not believing it.
"What nonsense? Where did you hear this nonsense from?"
Jiu Beile was confused for a moment. He really had no idea which market he heard it from first, but he did vaguely hear children say these words in several markets.
So he nodded with confidence, and then spoke again: "These words must have been spread in the market outside. The court has been very lively these days, and the fourth brother must be on pins and needles in the house right now. Let's
We both have to think of a way to talk to Emperor Ama, and pretending not to know this nursery rhyme probably won't work."
Prince Yong lowered his hands slightly, what he said was not unreasonable, and the people in the palace must have known it, so he nodded to Jiu Beile and said: "That's fine, but we'd better think of different ways. If our methods are the same,
Emperor Ama should be suspicious."
Jiu Beile was stunned for a moment, then realized that if the two people's statements were consistent, Huang Ama must have known that they had met each other, and they had also vented their anger on each other about this matter, so it would be better for them to have different statements at that time.
But it is strange to say that in the next few days, there was no controversy in the palace because of this nursery rhyme, and the New Year was just around the corner.
The New Year's Eve banquet at Prince Heng's Mansion was hosted by Su Xin and Ma Jiayunzhao, which was quite passable, and Wanyue was enjoying her leisure time these days.
But Ma Jiayunzhao's words during the dinner made everyone look a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, Fujin, this morning the people from Zhuangzi came to celebrate the New Year and said that Qian Gege will be returning to the mansion in a few days. Is it possible to send two maids from the mansion to take care of him?" When he said this, Ma Jiayunzhao said
She was also frowning. Although Qian Gege entered the mansion together with her, their identities were very different now. Although she wanted to show kindness in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she thought of what Qian Gege had done.
answer.
"." Wanyue opened her mouth but said nothing.
Qian Gege was sent to Zhuangzi after she made a mistake. Now she has to come back when the time limit is up. Whether or not she is picked up will directly determine everyone's attitude towards Qian Gege after she returns home.
Su Xin didn't say anything, but the other six Princesses were very curious about Qian Princess.
When Ma Jiayunzhao saw that Wanyue and Yinqi were both calm, she quickly changed her words and said, "Sister Suxin and I are unsure about paying attention to this matter and don't know how to deal with it."
A New Year's Eve banquet was a bit disappointing because of Qian Gege. Yinqi, who had been drinking, sighed and put down his glass. He thought about Qian Gege in his mind, and remembered some of the bad things she had done, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Zhuangzi
The person who sent her back has already come back, so why bother bothering the people in the house to pick her up again."
"That's what the prince said." Ma Jiayunzhao and Su Xin hurriedly agreed. Wanyue lowered her head and ate a piece of fish. She silently took the handkerchief handed over by Ying'er and wiped her mouth. Then she spoke unhurriedly,
"Then just do as the prince said. When Qian Gege returns home, we sisters will take care of her."
After hearing what she said, everyone at the table looked at her. Wanyue was not embarrassed at all, and took a few sips of the fish soup brought by Ying'er.
Seeing that Wanyue had a good appetite, Yinqi gradually relaxed his brows and picked up his chopsticks to eat a few bites of fresh fish.
In this way, a few days of peaceful life passed, until at three o'clock on the eighth day of the lunar month, the people in Zhuangzi sent Qian Gege back.
As soon as Qian Gege returned home, he went to Xinuang Pavilion to meet Wanyue, acting very respectfully.
"I haven't seen my sister for three years. Is everything okay?" Wanyue glanced at Qian Gege. The previously white and tender skin was now a little sallow, but three years seemed like ten years.
Qian Gege lowered his head and replied with a low eyebrow: "Thank you very much for your concern. I hope everything is fine."
Wanyue squinted her charming eyes again and looked at Qian Gege from top to bottom. Thinking of Yun Xiang Lai who had taken care of her, she asked casually: "By the way, what happened to Yun Xiang Lai who went to Zhuangzi with her sister that day?"
She was so good that she died of illness? What disease did she have?"
Qian Gege's heart trembled. She thought Wanyue had noticed something, and rubbed her hands uneasily, thinking about how to answer.
Before she could reply to Wanyue's words, the two people in the mansion, Fujin and the other six princesses, stood behind her and saluted Wanyue.
Qian Gege was immediately startled by the voice behind him.
