Chapter 79 East Palace Timber

The daily life was calm and step by step. Soon the January period agreed by Yanhu and Huang Jianzhong, but Princess Nanping did not allow Yanhu to go out, so Yanhu sent the honeysuckle, "Give five taels of silver for the honeysuckle."

"Miss, you have already given ten taels of silver before." Honeysuckle reminded her.

"Don't help the poor. You have helped me again after helping you." Yan Hu paused, "Let's see how that thing is done. If you do well, give her the money. If you don't do well, then forget it."

Honeysuckle went out to Pinya Bookstore with five taels of silver. Huang Jianzhong was a trustworthy man. He led his delicate fiancée to come with embroidery. The guy in the shop saw that only Honeysuckle came, pretending to pack up the books, approached them, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Display the satin and I'll take a closer look." Although Honeysuckle is not old and does ordinary needlework, she has seen many good things with a beautiful lady who has grown up. She still has the ability to appreciate embroidery.

Huang Jianzhong and pear blossoms spread the satin. The satin cost four taels of silver. It was the best satin, embroidered with red peony flowers, green forget-worry grass, blue butterflies, and a pair of white cats squatted under the vase of the longevity word.

Three or four colors are very lively and beautiful together. Peony and Forget-Wretch grass are quiet, cats are teasing butterflies spread their wings and want to fly, and the composition is vivid and transcendent, there is movement in tranquility, and there is stillness in movement, which complements each other. This wealth and honor are wealth and auspicious, and health and longevity means giving to the elderly is the best gift.

Seeing the delicate and lively embroidered, Honeysuckle took out five taels of silver and said, "This is what the lady rewards you. I will find you if I have any work in the future."

Lihua was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly. With the five taels of silver, she could buy an old ginseng beard to nourish her mother's body. The honeysuckle went home with the embroidery. Seeing that they didn't say anything important, the young man was too lazy to tell his aunt about it, so Yan Xiang didn't know about it.

Of course, even if Yan Xiang didn't know, it wouldn't prevent her from holding a grudge against Yan Hu. However, Yan Hu became bigger and more people were following him. It was no longer convenient for her to start in the mansion, outside the mansion...

"Miss." Her maid Chunjuan walked in.

Yan Xiang looked up at her, and Chunjuan reported: "Qiuyan's grandmother has passed away."

"Give her three taels of silver and ask her to go home to send her grandmother." Yan Xiang said.

Chunjuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, there are only eleven or two taels of silver in the money box."

Yan Xiang frowned slightly, "Appreciate."

Chunjuan had to bow and retreat.

Yan Xiang sighed, a penny stumped the hero, and if there was no money in his hand, he could not afford to support her to drive him. It would be great if she was like Yan Hae, she had a father who could make money and a mother who was rich in dowry.

The mother and daughter of the three bedrooms were both worried about money.

On the other hand, Ai Ye also found out about Qiu Yan's grandmother's death and reported to Yan Huo, "Miss, Qiu Yan was raised by her grandmother, so she must want to send her grandmother a glorious person."

"I understand what you mean, but Qiuyan is the second-class maid next to Yan Xiang. Yan Xiang and I have already had a quarrel. I rewarded the money to the maid around her, and it is suspected of bribing." Yan Hu's eyes fluttered, "Unless you can bribe Qiuyan without any sensation, so that outsiders can discover it."

"I must do this." Ai Ye said confidently.

Yan Huo smiled, "Give ten taels of silver to moxa leaves."

The mugwort leaves with ten taels of silver given by licorice and went out of the yard to do business.

A few days later, June 1st. In the evening, the Crown Princess who had just drunk a bowl of chicken soup had a pain. Because she was a mother of a mother, she gave birth to a fat boy weighing 7 pounds and 6 ounces in just half an hour.

"Is it a little girl?" The Crown Princess supported herself and asked anxiously regardless of her fatigue after giving birth.

Wen Po looked between the baby's legs and smiled dryly, "Report to the Crown Princess, yes, it's a young man."

"What? Another bad boy!" The princess was disappointed and fell on the bed powerlessly. Why was it so difficult for her to have a little daughter? It was so...it was so heartbreaking for her to have four sons.

It's a bad boy again!

The prince was very happy to see the three sons standing in front of him, and another legitimate son, but his wish to have a legitimate daughter seemed to be unfulfilled.

Tang Zhi pouted dissatisfiedly, "I told Xiaoxiao that my mother is going to give birth to a sister. Now that my mother has a younger brother, Xiaoxiao will definitely blame me for lying and being angry with me."

Tang Li took the opportunity to educate him, "Don't talk nonsense if you haven't confirmed anything in the future, do you know?"

"I understand." Tang Zhi lowered his head in frustration. His sweet-sex sister turned into a stinky younger brother. It was so sad.

The two concubines breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As long as the crown princess could not give birth to a legitimate daughter, the status of the two county lords would not be affected.

The news that the Crown Princess gave birth to another son reached the Qin Palace. The Qin Palace touched his stomach and sighed. Why is it so easy for the Crown Princess to have a son? She has been giving birth to Heyi for more than seven years and has not been pregnant. Could it be that she really wants to take a concubine for the Qin Palace and adopt a concubine?

"Pa" King Chu was so angry that he smashed a teacup. The prince had four legitimate sons, but he only had one. In terms of giving birth to a son, he lost to the prince.

The emperor and the queen were very happy and satisfied with one grandson, and sent the reward to the Eastern Palace like flowing water. Then the emperor thought that the prince had four sons, but the king of Qin only had one daughter, so he pointed out two concubines to the king of Qin.

After receiving this order, the Princess Qin calmly ordered his servants to "go and clean up the two courtyards in the east and west of Yiyuan."

After Princess Heyi learned about this, she came out of the palace and went back to the palace directly, "Mother, I'm back."

"Why are you back today?" Princess Qin put down the book in her hand and asked in surprise.

"I miss my mother, so I'm back." Princess Heyi looked at Princess Qin's expression. Seeing that she was no different from usual, she seemed to care about the two concubines who were about to enter the mansion, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"After dinner, go back to the palace." Princess Qin said with a faint smile.

Princess Heyi pouted and said, "No, my husband and I have asked for leave. I will go to Xiaoxiao to play tomorrow."

"You are already over seven years old and eight years old. Don't know how to play all day long. After dinner, hurry back to the palace to avoid your grandmother thinking about you." Princess Qin frowned.

"I agreed with the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's grandmother also agreed." Princess Heyi has not left the palace for more than a month.

"You... are really ignorant." Princess Qin sighed lightly, but no longer insisted on letting Princess Heyi return to the palace after dinner.

In the evening, the King of Qin returned to his house and had a meal with his mother and daughter. The Princess of Qin gave the King of Qin the soup as usual and handed it to him with a smile, "Prince, please use it."

The King of Qin took the bowl and took two sips, "This ginseng lotus soup is better stewed by the princess."

Princess Qin pursed her lips and smiled, "You are so good at speaking, you can taste it once."

"There are cooks at home, let them do it, don't work so hard." King Qin said considerately.

"It's not hard work. As long as you are willing to drink, I'm willing to cook every day." Princess Qin thought that in the future, the King of Qin could not come to accompany her every day, and it would be a bad feeling.

"I can't bear to let you cook so hard every day," said the King of Qin.

"The soup is delicious, let's drink one more bowl." The Princess Qin took the empty bowl and served another bowl for the King of Qin.

Princess Heyi looked at the interaction between her parents in silence, feeling a little awkward. In front of her parents, she refused to say anything. The next day, she told Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing, "I feel that my mother is deliberately trying to please my father. She was not like this before."

"Because the situation is different now." Yan Huo held his chin with his left hand, "Your father wants to accept the concubine, and your mother feels uncomfortable, but she cannot object, and she cannot make trouble. Once she opposes, she will make trouble, and she will be unvirtuous." Especially the person who rewards the concubine is still the best emperor in the world. It is so frustrating to have such a father-in-law who can't go back to his parents' home to help rescue soldiers.

"I don't want such virtuousness." Princess Heyi said angrily.

"No one wants such virtuousness, but there is no way. In terms of etiquette, it is said that the wife's jealousy of her husband's concubines is harmful to the continuation of the family." Yu Qingqing's father also had a concubine, and had seen her mother try to make the concubines set rules.

"I don't care. I will only be by his side if I want to marry in the future. If he wants to take a concubine, I...I...I won't want him." Princess Heyi said seriously.

Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing also expressed the same meaning, saying: "I wish to be a person who is single-minded and never get along with each other."

Another said: "I heard that you have two intentions, so I came to make a decision."

Just as the three friends were chatting, Princess Qin's sister, Mrs. Wang, was also talking to Princess Qin, "I have told you a long time ago that I will arrange for a woman to hold on to serve the prince. If you don't listen, you will be blind now."

The Princess Qin looked sad and bowed her head without saying a word. No woman was willing to share her husband with others.

"The two concubines have entered the door. You have to keep a close eye on them. You must not let them be pregnant before you give birth to a legitimate son." Mrs. Lu reminded her.

Princess Qin said with a frown: "I don't know what's going on with my stomach. I have never gotten pregnant since I gave birth to Heyi." The imperial doctor said that her health is fine and the prince's health is fine, but why can't she get pregnant?

"I heard that the Guanyin sent her son in Zizhu Temple outside the city is very effective. I will accompany you to seek the Taoist talisman tomorrow." Mrs. Lu said.

"Okay." The Princess Qin could only hope to send a child to Guanyin.

"You have to support one of these two concubines and suppress one. Then let them fight and fight, and you will watch coldly." Mrs. Lu taught her sister how to control her concubine. Mr. Lu also had a concubine and gave birth to a concubine daughter, but fortunately she didn't have a concubine son.

The Princess Qin nodded when she was taught. She thought she didn't have to worry about her concubine, but now she realized that she was too delusional.

Because the King of Qin wanted to accept the concubine, the carefree Princess Heyi became more worried. Yu Qingqing comforted her friend a few words and left first. Her grandfather became more and more ill. Since she left the palace, she had to wait by the side like her family, so as not to miss the last time she met.

Princess Heyi left after lunch at Yan's house. Yan Huo originally wanted to send her to the outside of the second gate, but when she walked outside the courtyard, Princess Heyi stopped her, "The sun is so hot, so don't send her."

Yan Huo was also afraid that he would be heatstroke from the sun, "Then I won't be polite to you."

"Why are you polite? What's our relationship? I won't talk about these false conspiracies." Princess Heyi hugged Yan Huo and jumped away.
