Nangong Yue woke up and it was already dark. She felt that her head was still a little sore and she couldn't help but rub her eyebrows.

Nangong Yue was a little helpless. She had always been in good health over the years, but she didn't expect that she would become so squeamish when she occasionally got a stroke.

"Sister-in-law, do you want some water?"

Xiao Fei's voice sounded just at this moment, which made Nangong Yue sober up.

Why is Xiao Fei here?

Baihui quickly stepped forward, helped her sit up, and got a large pillow for her to lean on.

As expected, Xiao Fei was sitting on the round stool next to the bed, with a book in her hand. It was obvious that she was reading just now.

Nangong Yue asked in a hoarse voice: "What time is it now?"

Baihui replied: "Yin Shi Moment."

Xiao Fei poured a glass of water, handed it to Nangong Yue, and said, "Sister-in-law, drink water."

Nangong Yue frowned and took the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "Baihui, send the eldest daughter back to rest."

Before Baihui could respond, Xiao Fei shook her head decisively and said, "No. It is what I should do to serve my sister-in-law. The ancients said:..."

Seeing that Xiao Fei was about to quote scriptures again, Nangong Yue seemed to have accidentally intercepted her words and said: "I'm afraid I'll be sick for a few more days. If you don't go and rest, won't you have to let me go again tomorrow?" Am I in charge?"

Xiao Fei thought about it carefully and it made sense, so she hesitated.

"It's better than this." Nangong Yue kept coaxing, "It's so late, so don't go back to Yuebiju. Just rest in the Bisha Cupboard. If anything happens, I'll let Baisha know. Hui calls you."

Xiao Fei thought about it carefully and finally compromised. After Fu Shen saluted, Huamei led her to the Bi Sha Cupboard.

Nangong Yue took a breath.

Baihui asked Nangong Yue what she wanted, and ordered a second-class maid waiting outside the house to bring porridge to the small kitchen and serve her.

After some sleep and some porridge, Nangong Yue felt better and asked about what happened after she fell asleep.

Baihui naturally reported everything. After hearing Xiao Fei's treatment, Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

Judging from this incident alone, Xiao Fei acted more appropriately. Although she did not go to the small flower hall to see the overall style of the decoration there, she also knew that the yellow ground Yangcai was the icing on the cake, the dark eight immortals double dragon ear vase and the yellow ground The two vases have similar colors and styles and can be substituted for each other.

It’s just that I’m still young after all…

This matter is not just a matter of changing a vase.

Although this pair of dragon-ear bottles only had a break, which did not affect its practicality, to the Zhennan Palace, having a break was no different than smashing the whole bottle. There was no way it could be used again. In such a situation, the warehouse should report the loss, rather than just leaving it in the warehouse casually, which itself is against the rules.

Speaking of rules, Nangong Yue’s head hurt even more. The palace’s inner palace really needed to be tidied up.

But let’s wait until King Zhennan’s birthday party to think about these things. Nangong Yue lay back, letting her whole body relax, and fell asleep again after a while.

Nangong Yue was really not that squeamish. She just had a heat stroke and felt better the next day. But thinking that this was a good opportunity for Xiao Fei to exercise, she simply told the steward to do it. They came to Bixiaotang to discuss matters and asked Xiao Fei to meet them.

The morning passed peacefully. In this short period of time, the news about Xiao Fei presiding over the wedding ceremony in place of the unwell Nangong Yue spread in the palace.

Ignoring the others for the time being, Xiao Fei's concubines were a little anxious.

Now that the situation in the palace is clear, everyone can see that the madam may never have a chance to turn around. They can only rely on their sister-in-law Nangong Yue for their future future. They must please her no matter what, otherwise her sister-in-law will decide for them at will. After getting married, I really couldn’t even cry! No wonder Xiao Fei has been following her sister-in-law's lead since she made a trip to the royal capital. I'm afraid she has thought of this a long time ago!

Xiao Fei is so cunning!

The concubines of the King of Zhennan, whether after receiving the instructions from their respective aunts or figuring it out on their own, came to Bixiaotang diligently that afternoon, saying they wanted to serve their sister-in-law, which made Nangong Yue dumbfounded. In a daze, I thought that I suddenly became an old lady and was enjoying her old age.

While Nangong Yue was taking a break from her busy schedule to recuperate, three black flat-top carriages stopped at the gate of Luo Yuecheng's Fangzhai.

"The old lady is here! The old lady is here!" The concierge hurriedly asked a woman to deliver the message. The woman answered and hurried away.

The concierge opened the double-painted ink-painted door and enthusiastically welcomed the three carriages into the house.

The carriage stopped at the second gate, and several people got off the three carriages one after another, including men, women, old and young. The leader of them was an old man in his sixties, wearing a trousers with dark patterns of pine and rock. Wearing a brocade robe, with a slightly pudgy figure, gray hair, and dim eyesight, this person is none other than Fang Jilian, the old man from the third room of the Fang family.

Before the group of people got off the carriage, they heard a burst of chaotic and rapid footsteps from the other side of the second gate. Mr. Fang Chengling, the third master of Fang, brought Mrs. Fang San, Fang Shilei and others to the direction of the second gate, and then Bow to the visitor and salute: "I have seen my father and my mother!"

"Aling, there is no need to be polite." Fang San's old master Fang Jilian looked at the eldest son of the concubine with satisfaction. This was his first son, and he had taught him since he was a child. His affection was naturally extraordinary.

At this time, a middle-aged woman on Fang Jilian's right side cleared her throat and said: "Old man, the sun is shining brightly now, so everyone should stop talking. It's not too late for us to go in first and reminisce about old times."

The middle-aged woman has a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, and fair and moist skin. She wears a silver-red double-breasted dark makeup flower gown, her hair is neatly combed into a bun, and she has a red gold inlaid honey stick. Her hairpin was dripping with wax, and she looked radiant, making it impossible to tell her age at a glance. Her true age could only be revealed from the thin lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth when she spoke.

Fang Chengling hurriedly echoed: "That's what my aunt said."

This beautiful middle-aged woman is Fang Chengling's birth cow aunt. If Fang Chengling hadn't revealed her identity in one word, the uninformed person might have thought that she was Mrs. Fang Third.

Mrs. Fang San’s mouth froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, smiling as if nothing had happened. The situation in the father-in-law's family did not just start today. It just so happens that Aunt Niu is her husband's biological mother. If Aunt Niu becomes powerful, it will only bring benefits to her family, but no harm.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Fang San quickly glanced at her father-in-law's left hand side. There stood a slightly plump woman. She was Fang Jilian's first wife, Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Fang San's serious mother-in-law. Mrs. Chu looks to be in her fifties, with gray hair. She wears an azure-colored twig-carved silk jacket, which makes her skin a little sallow.

At this moment, Chu's lips were pressed into a straight line, the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, and she didn't even look at Aunt Niu, as if she didn't care at all about the other party's prestige.

Beside Mr. Chu stood a man in brocade robes in his early thirties, it was Mr. Fang Liu, Fang Chengyong. His ordinary Chinese character face was habitually full of smiles, and he replied solemnly: "Third brother, what about us? Hurry in."

Not only the Chu mother and son, but also other family members present had no objection to Aunt Niu's mistress-like behavior, or they were accustomed to it.

After that, Fang Jilian and his party headed towards the main hall under the guidance of Fang Chengling.

After a while, the originally empty hall was filled with people. The two master chairs at the top were naturally given to Fang Jilian and Chu, while Aunt Niu sat on an armchair at the bottom. .

There are really a lot of people here, and the seniority is also complex. For a while, the sound of salutes was heard one after another, and after nearly a stick of incense, everyone was finally able to sit down.

"Father," Fang Chengling, who was sitting opposite Aunt Niu, looked at Fang Jilian, the third old man, and asked a little strangely, "how many days are left before the prince's birthday? Didn't your previous letter say that it will take two or three days to arrive? ?"

Mrs. Fang San was afraid that her father-in-law would misunderstand, so she quickly added: "Fortunately, my daughter-in-law has tidied up the yard where my father, mother and aunts live in advance."

Fang Jilian smoothed his gray beard, glanced at Aunt Niu, and said with a smile: "She's not your aunt yet. She hasn't seen your sister for a year. She wants to come over and see your sister soon!"

Fang Chengling only has one younger sister who has the same father and mother, namely Xiao Fang.

When she mentioned Xiao Fang, Aunt Niu's slender waist straightened up even more, and there was a hint of arrogance at the corner of her mouth.

The two most right things she did in her half life, the first was to crawl into Fang Jilian's bed before she was sent to be a servant; and the second was to give birth to this daughter.

Her daughter is more promising than her two brothers. She jumped from the dragon gate and became the step-princess of Zhennan King. From a humble concubine, she became the most noble woman in the entire southern Xinjiang. She, the biological mother, was in the Fang family. Life has become even easier, except that she doesn't have the title of legal wife, she has everything. Even Fang Jilian has to respect her a little, and her two sons are getting better and better... But recently...

Thinking of her second son Fang Chengxun, Aunt Niu's eyes dimmed again. Their life suddenly became unsatisfactory in the past two years. First, their daughter was expelled from the royal concubine; then Fang Chengxun suddenly suffered a stroke and not only lost his big house. He was rich enough to rival the country, but he was wrongfully exiled; not long ago, even his brother Niu Xinglong was framed by a traitor and imprisoned...

After Aunt Niu got the news, she couldn't sleep for several days and nights. This time it was rare for the King of Zhennan to celebrate his birthday, so Aunt Niu quickly urged Fang Jilian to bring his whole family over, planning to make a good plan with her daughter.

"Ah Ling," Aunt Niu hurriedly ordered the other party, "Hurry up and send the post to the palace, I want to meet your sister."

Aunt Niu thought that this request couldn't be easier, but Fang Chengling showed a look of embarrassment on her face. She frowned and said, "Auntie, I'm afraid this won't happen..." He hesitated for a moment, thinking that Aunt Niu would always know. Yes, he continued, "My sister is now grounded by the prince."

What? ! Aunt Niu almost jumped up and was about to ask a question when she heard Mrs. Fang San complaining angrily: "Auntie, you don't know. Things have changed in the palace, and the imperial concubine doesn't know what she is doing to the prince." What kind of poison was planted? The prince made the prince concubine take charge of the palace's middle minister! Now everyone in the palace still remembers my aunt!" Mrs. Fang San still finds this a bit incredible. It is clear that the king of Zhennan does not like the prince Xiao. Yi, I don’t know how he was subdued by the imperial concubine, and Xiao Fei...

The corners of Mrs. Fang San's eyes twitched, and she continued: "We went to the palace several times to ask to see my aunt, but the princess refused and kept saying that we should go find the prince ourselves..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Fang San thought of something and quickly glanced sideways at Fang Chengling. If he hadn't caused those nasty things, how could he have put them in such a passive situation!

Fang Chengling shrank with guilt. How dare he go to see King Zhennan. My sister once secretly asked Aunt Qi to come to Fangzhai to tell her that King Zhennan was very angry because of that incident. If she went to the palace now, not only would she not be able to help her, but she might even add fuel to the fire!

Fang Chengling naturally would not tell Fang Jilian or Aunt Niu about these scandalous things. Aunt Niu was so angry that she did not notice that something was wrong with the expression of her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

Aunt Niu's fair face turned blue and white with anger. She clenched her fists and said angrily: "I have no respect for my superiors! This Crown Princess really has no rules! No, I have to go to the palace in person. I don't believe it. I want to see my daughter. , how dare she, a junior, stop me!"

Aunt Niu has been accustomed to smooth sailing for more than ten years, and feels that there is nothing she cannot do. But Mrs. Fang San cannot be so optimistic. She has seen how powerful the Crown Princess is. Ever since the Crown Princess came, my family has suffered a lot.

However, Mrs. Fang San would not be stupid enough to pour cold water on Aunt Niu. After all, Aunt Niu was Xiao Fang's biological mother, and she still had some dignity even in front of the King of Zhennan.

Aunt Niu became more and more angry as she thought about it. She stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace now!"

Fang Chengling originally wanted to persuade Aunt Niu to rest for the night before going there, but thinking that Aunt Niu always meant what she said, he moved his mouth and swallowed his words.

He gave Mrs. Fang San a look. Mrs. Fang San was unwilling, but she could only say: "Auntie, I will order someone to arrange a carriage. I will accompany you to the palace."

Who wants——

"No need!" Aunt Niu gave Mrs. Fang San a look of disdain. She felt that this eldest daughter-in-law was really useless. She was still an elder after all, but she was calmed down by a little girl from the Crown Princess, "I myself Go!"

On the one hand, Mrs. Fang San was unhappy, but on the other hand, she was secretly relieved: she did not want to go to the palace to suffer.

Half an hour later, Fang Mansion's carriage arrived at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. The concierge of the Prince's Mansion immediately opened the door diligently to welcome him.

When the madam’s biological mother arrived, she naturally had to report it to Nangong Yue, who was in charge of the Zhongfu, so a woman in Tsing Yi immediately went to Bixiaotang to report...

In the Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue was leaning on the pillow of the beauty's couch in dismay.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, someone came in through the curtain. Xiao Ronxuan and Xiao Rongying, who were sitting on the small stool, immediately became energetic and looked at them in unison.

Ying'er walked in holding a mahogany tray with a celadon bowl on it. Steaming white mist, dense white air, and a strong medicinal fragrance hit her face.

Xiao Rongying happened to be closer to the door curtain, so she quickly stood up, strode over, and said with a smile: "Miss Ying'er, let me help my sister-in-law take medicine."

As she said that, Xiao Rongying’s hands had already grasped the mahogany tray and she was secretly exerting force. Ying’er’s eyes twitched speechlessly. She glanced at Nangong Yue for a signal and then let go, letting the other party take the soup away. .

Xiao Ronxuan, who did not seize this good opportunity, glared at Xiao Rongying and secretly regretted it: If she had known that the fourth sister was cunning, no wonder she had just snatched the position of being close to the sister-in-law, and she did not compete with herself. It turned out that she was waiting for her. Take this opportunity!

Xiao Rongying walked over carefully holding a mahogany tray, and deliberately smiled at Xiao Rongxuan: "Second sister, please give way, it's time for my sister-in-law to take medicine."

Xiao Rongxuan stood up reluctantly and said in a gentle tone, but through gritted teeth: "Fourth sister, you must be careful and don't burn my sister-in-law."

"Thank you, second sister, for reminding me. I'll save it for you." Xiao Rongying said slowly, meeting Xiao Rongxuan's gloomy eyes without any sign of weakness, and then sat down on the small table.

Xiao Rongying carefully picked up the medicine bowl, then picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of dark soup, blew it diligently, brought it to Nangong Yue's mouth, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, I will The medicine will cool down and won't burn."

Nangong Yue felt a little speechless. This is medicine. Drinking it spoonful after spoonful will lead to a painful death.

She smiled slightly and said without any doubt: "Fourth sister, I will do it myself." After saying that, she took the medicine bowl from Xiao Rongying's hand, took a sip to test the temperature, and then drank it all. .

Xiao Rongying realized that she seemed to have done something wrong? But it was the same in the past when I was taking care of my mother...

Before she could figure out where she was wrong, Xiao Rongxuan's delicate voice rang out: "Sister-in-law, do you feel bitter? I have some candied fruits here, please eat one quickly."

Xiao Rongxuan also came over with a small plate of candied fruits. She squeezed Xiao Rongying away skillfully, twisted a candied fruit covered with powdered sugar through the handkerchief and brought it to Nangong Yue's mouth.

Quie'er shook his head secretly, looked at his eldest concubine sympathetically, and thought to himself: This is not serving an illness, but competing for favor, right? She now knows what the sentence in the book means, "It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman." It must be the situation of the Crown Princess!

The two girls were competing with each other, and Yukou, who was waiting outside the house, reported: "Prince Concubine, Aunt Niu is here."

Aunt Niu? Nangong Yue didn't react for a while, but Xiao Rongxuan timidly reminded her: "Sister-in-law, she is my mother's biological mother."

Nangong Yue slightly tilted her head to let the jade buckle in.

After Yukou finished telling the mother-in-law, Nangong Yue couldn't help but frown.

The palace opened the main entrance to welcome an aunt from Fang Mansion?

The maids waiting on the side also looked at each other, which is really unheard of.

According to the rules, I am a half-servant, so the concubine and her relatives cannot be regarded as serious relatives. If my family members want to visit, they have to go through the corner door, and they must obtain the wife's consent. Not to mention Aunt Niu, Aunt Niu is a concubine in her own right. As far as the palace is concerned, Xiao Fang's aunt, Mrs. Chu, is the wife of the in-laws. The palace would actually open the door to welcome an aunt from another family. joke!

It can be seen from this that in the past, Xiao Fang was so arrogant and dominated by one person in the palace, that everyone in the palace had forgotten these basic rules.

Nangong Yue was still lamenting that the Zhennan Palace had no rules in the morning, but she did not expect that this even more unruly thing would happen.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly and ordered: "Baihui, take someone over and lead Aunt Niu to the west wing of Guanju Hall."

No matter what happened in the past, since the palace is owned by himself now, he cannot let an aunt from a foreign family run rampant in the palace. It is really unseemly.

After a pause, she ordered Que'er again, "Que'er, tell Concubine Wei and ask her to greet her."

Aunt Niu is Xiao Fang's biological mother, so it is only right that she should be treated by a concubine of the Wei family.

Baihui and Queer accepted the order in unison.

Nangong Yue did not avoid Xiao Ronxuan and Xiao Rongying. The two people heard clearly and couldn't help but froze.

Although Aunt Niu does not live in Luoyue City, she always comes once or twice a year. Every time, her mother will call them over and ask them to salute and call her grandma... The sister-in-law is actually so brave. Not only does she not go to greet her, she even And let Concubine Wei have a concubine to entertain guests?

The two people who were "competing" just now couldn't help but look at each other.

Baihui and Queer parted ways after leaving the courtyard. Baihui hurried towards the second gate of the palace with the woman who came to report the news.

When they arrived, Aunt Niu's carriage had stopped at the second gate. She was sitting on a carriage, surrounded by maids and women, walking along the road paved with huge stone slabs. .

As soon as Baihui arrived, a woman who was leading the way for Aunt Niu immediately whispered Baihui's identity to her.

It turns out to be the eldest maid of the Crown Princess! Aunt Niu felt disdainful. It seemed that the Crown Princess knew that she was coming, so she ordered her eldest maid to come and greet her!

Aunt Niu's lips curved into an arrogant smile. She just said, she is the elder, the biological mother of the princess, and the grandmother of the second son Xiao Luan. Who in this palace dares to neglect her! ?

"I've met Aunt Niu." Baihui knelt down and blessed Aunt Niu with dignity. Her etiquette was so standard that no one could find any fault.

Seeing Baihui's respectful attitude, Aunt Niu felt even more proud. She raised her chin and said, "No courtesy! But the Crown Princess asked you to come?"

Baihui followed Aunt Niu's words and replied: "The imperial concubine ordered my slave to take my aunt to Guanju Hall to sit down."

It seems that the Crown Princess is coming to pay her respects! Aunt Niu puffed up her plump **** and said calmly: "Then please lead the way, girl."

Baihui gave a wink, and the woman who was leading the way for Aunt Niu respectfully stepped back.

The group moved to Guanju Hall...

Gradually, Aunt Niu felt that the direction she was walking seemed to be getting more and more remote, and she couldn't help but frown slightly, but thinking that it was the Crown Princess who invited her there, she finally suppressed it first.

After Aunt Niu was introduced to the west side hall, the maid immediately served hot tea. Aunt Niu had just picked up the tea cup and pretended to poke it with the tea lid when she heard the voice of a little maid saluting outside: "I've seen Concubine Wei."

Aunt Niu’s hand holding the tea lid froze for a moment. She had also heard of the prince’s concubine Wei, but she had never seen her. It was probably because the concubine Wei heard that she was coming and came here specially to give it to her. Please be safe.

As I was thinking, I saw a young woman in her twenties walking elegantly outside the hall. She wore a lake-colored embroidered green-calyx plum-blossom double-breasted gown, a peony bun, and two thorns on her head. A white jade hairpin looks dignified yet elegant.

Aunt Niu paused for a moment on Wei's beautiful face, and thought to herself: She is indeed enchanting, no wonder she can charm the prince like that... But what if this little **** is a concubine, she can't give birth to a son? What's the use!

Shi Wei ignored the contempt in Aunt Niu's eyes and walked forward on her own.

"I've met the concubine." Baihui stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Wei.

Ms. Wei quickly glanced at Aunt Niu and said with a smile: "Miss Baihui, thank you for your hard work."

"Concubine, please be polite. This is your duty as a servant." After Baihui blessed her again, she withdrew.

Mrs. Wei sat down on the Grand Master's chair at the top and asked politely: "Aunt Niu came to the palace this time to visit Madam?" As she spoke, the maid also served tea to Mrs. Wei.

Aunt Niu felt impatient and said calmly: "Exactly."

Ms. Wei didn't care, and repeated the same rhetoric she used to the outside world: "It's a pity that Madam has been unwell recently and has been keeping her in the house, so it is inconvenient to see guests."

Aunt Niu snorted coldly and said nothing.

She was impatient to talk to Mrs. Wei, so she drank tea slowly while waiting for the Crown Princess to come to see her.

She thought that when the eldest concubine came, she would teach her the meaning of seniority and inferiority, and then order the eldest concubine to lead her to see her daughter in person.

But after waiting and waiting, when the tea was cold, why didn’t the Crown Princess come?
