"What do you mean by that?" The eldest lady immediately asked, "What do you say about the second wife? That woman has her own intentions. We must not let her succeed."
Jiang Yuan shook her head and said worriedly: "His Royal Highness said that the empress will choose a good marriage for the third sister."
But she noticed that the Sixth Prince did not mention anything about her and him.
Coupled with the alienation these days, she began to feel anxious. She wanted to tell the eldest lady about the matter thoroughly so that she could make plans in advance.
The eldest lady naturally understood and patted her daughter's hand to reassure her.
The Jiang family is the natal family of the imperial concubine, who has broken bones and connected tendons. Over the years, she has been able to rise step by step in the palace and reach the point where she is today. The Jiang family can be said to have contributed a lot.
Now she is just a concubine, but she is still so stingy and hesitant, and even has other thoughts.
Humph! How can it be so cheap?
Returning to the old lady, the eldest lady sent away the other people in the house, leaving only the old mother to take care of her.
Hearing the noise, the person on the bed opened his eyes, his tired look hard to conceal.
"Your Highness has gone back?" It was the old lady who fell ill who spoke.
The eldest lady bent down, helped her up personally, put a big pillow on her, and then replied: "I'm going back. I asked Ayuan to see her off, but..."
"how?"
"Your Highness seems to have deliberately distanced himself from A-Yuan, and is no longer as close as before." The eldest lady said, and whispered: "Mother, since you mentioned A-Yuan's marriage last time, the imperial concubine has never given an accurate statement.
, now there are a lot of discussions outside, saying that the imperial concubine already has a candidate for the sixth princess."
When the old lady heard this, her eyes sharpened.
Concubine Jiang Guifei is her only biological daughter, and Jiang Yuan is her biological granddaughter. No matter how you look at it, this marriage is the best.
Firstly, it ensures the prosperity of the Jiang family for decades to come, and secondly, the granddaughter will marry into the royal family in the future, which will also be a great help to the daughter who is a noble concubine.
No matter how you look at it, it is a win-win situation. How can you teach others to ruin it?
"She was just confused for a moment. Don't worry, A-Yuan will only enter the Sixth Prince's Palace. No one can take away the position of the Sixth Princess."
With her words, the eldest lady finally felt relieved and cried with joy, "Daughter-in-law, thank you very much, mother. We, mother and daughter, will keep your considerations for A-Yuan in mind, and we will definitely be filial to you."
The old lady nodded and did not care about her petty thoughts. For her, as long as the Jiang family is good, it is enough.
"Okay, go and keep an eye on things in the house. The second wife is unreliable, and the third wife is even less capable." The old lady had a headache when she mentioned these two people.
As for the fourth house, it is not in Beijing now, and even if it is, it is mostly ignored.
"You should control the people in the house and don't cause trouble again. Ayuan is not young anymore. When I recover, I will go to the palace to express my gratitude and put my marriage on the agenda with the imperial concubine."
"Yes, my wife understands."
The eldest lady carefully waited on her to drink the decoction, and then respectfully withdrew.
With the big thing on her mind settled, she even walked back a lot easier.
Because of the New Year, the mansion was also very busy, and there were a large number of people missing, so it was a bit busy for a while, so the eldest lady had no choice but to borrow a group of people from her parents' family.
As for the newly purchased maid, it will take some time to train before it can be used.
As a result, Biluoyuan is now unattended.
Ever since Jiang Shanshan and Jiang Mingxuan climbed out of the wall, the two of them became more and more arrogant.
If it weren't for the heavy snow these days, I would even have to go out every day.
However, it's not a bad thing that the two of them go out frequently, at least the small kitchen is ready.
Now you don't have to look at the mood of the big kitchen in your house to eat whatever you want. The most important thing is that you don't have to eat other people's leftovers anymore.
Meow~
A round, creamy-yellow cat landed on the window sill. Hearing the sound, Jiang Shanshan immediately stood up and hugged it in. At the same time, he untied the kit from its neck and took out the paper inside.
After flicking it for a few times, I gave it a small dried fish and read the contents on the paper.
Jiang Mingxuan, who was sitting at the table reading a book, felt the air drop. He raised his head to look at his sister, who looked downcast, and said, "Is it another letter from Mr. Gu?"
Jiang Shanshan pursed his lips and handed the paper to him.
After reading it, Jiang Mingxuan threw it into the charcoal basin.
"The emperor is willing to do anything for his concubine. He knows that there are many people involved in the court, but he still protects the Jiang family like this."
How can such a lustful and foolish person be qualified to be a king?
Jiang Shanshan saw the hatred in his brother's eyes and was not surprised.
She patted his shoulder, and the latter raised his head and heard her say: "There is nothing we can do about the people the emperor wants to protect, but we still gain something."
Judging from Gu Yuan's news, the Jiang family plans to sacrifice the second wife's natal family to protect the Jiang family, or in other words, the second master Jiang.
Thinking of this, she sneered.
What's wrong with this? Since human trafficking and using those people to bribe officials can't convict Mr. Jiang, then next time, it depends on whether the emperor can be saved.
After all, selling private salt is no small matter!
And she knows far more than the Jiang family themselves.
The cat in the house had left at some point, leaving only some scraps of dried fish.
Jiang Shanshan looked outside and said, "The Jiang family will not think of us during the Chinese New Year tomorrow."
Jiang Mingxuan didn't care. He had never taken the Jiang family seriously, so naturally he didn't have any expectations.
The only thing he cares about is probably his sister and revenge.
A few more days passed, the sky cleared up, and the long-lost sun came out, illuminating the snow on the ground with a dazzling light.
The Jiang family also passed this new year without any danger, and as the new year came to an end, the city of Tokyo began to become lively.
Colorful sheds have been set up along the Royal Street, with lights and festoons on display, making it very lively.
Especially in Guanpu, Jiang Shanshan and Jiang Mingxuan got a lot of good things from their bets, no matter what they were eating or using.
Therefore, Jiang Mingxuan, who usually pretends to be calm, became a lot more lively now, and he was dazzled by the good things.
This is just the beginning. When they come out in a few days, it will be another scene.
The imperial street is not only decorated with lights and colorful decorations, but also has countless songs, dances, dramas and stories. It is like a flower garden.
Jiang Mingxuan looked at the grand scene in front of him, and it took a lot of restraint to prevent himself from being intoxicated.
It turned out that the lantern festival my mother mentioned was actually so lively.
Thousands of lights are on, the city is full of decorations, and it couldn't be more prosperous.
It's a pity that in such a prosperous age, there is a faint king with unworthy virtues sitting there.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the addiction in his eyes had disappeared.
"Sister, we..."
When he turned around, he saw that the person standing behind him had disappeared.
At that moment, I was shocked and hurriedly went to look for the person.
"Sister, sister?" He pushed away the person in front of him and was about to run away when he heard a shout. He turned around and pushed through the crowd, and sure enough he found his sister inside.
Jiang Shanshan was pushing away the banker and went into battle. Before he could kill a few games, he was held down by his younger brother.
Looking back, he saw Jiang Mingxuan pursed his lips and looked at him as if he was angry.
"Ahem, have you finished reading?" Her eyes wandered for a moment, and she said with a smile: "Would you like to play two, it's very fun."
Jiang Mingxuan didn't object to her doing this, but how could she abandon him without saying a word?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw someone coming up to him, bowed and said: "Girl, sir, my master has invited you two to come upstairs for a chat!"
