Chapter 302: New Sister-in-Law

After some nitpicking and intrigue by court wives, by the end of March, the general framework of the Royal Women's School had been set up.

The lecturers are all well-known and recognized virtuous and virtuous ladies. Because the princesses are still young, there are not many of them even with companions. After Zhaoqing went for two days, he felt boring and made a fuss. I want to go back to school with my brothers.

After all, she was always competitive when she was a child. She used to suppress her own brothers in the school, but now she is the only one who is old enough to go to the girls' school. If you don't use martial arts, where can you lift your spirits?

It's not easy for Yun Fenghuang to tell such a young girl about Yixi, so after comforting her for a while and holding her steady, he went to discuss with the queen to call some noble girls into the palace to fill in the girls' school.

The queen only thought about it for a while before agreeing to this matter. This is because the relationship between the concubine and concubine has become a lot better now, and the queen also knows in her heart that these noble girls are now the queen's classmate, and they will also be in the future. She is the preferred candidate for the princess.

Even though she intended to make her prince and Gu's kiss more intimate, she knew in her heart that Chunjia would definitely not like it.

That being the case, it is also necessary to know the dispositions of future prospective daughters-in-law in advance.

So I asked the imperial concubine about her plan, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she readily agreed.

Because the phoenix seal was still in the imperial concubine's hands at this time, after she agreed, Yun Fenghuang took care of it herself, and was quite busy for a while.

On this day, Honge came to the palace to bring news that Cui, who was married to Xie Xiaoyu, was pregnant, so she came to announce the good news to the imperial concubine.

Yun Fenghuang was also happy when she heard the words. After all, although she felt sorry for the misfortune of Xiaojiang's mother and son, Xie Xiaoyu was her best brother. She had children under her knees. How can I reassure you?

Now that Mrs. Cui is happy, she was happy, thinking of Mrs. Jiang before her, but also worried, so she ordered someone: "The imperial doctor who is diagnosing the pulse of this palace will go to pay Mrs. Shiba every five days."

Then he asked someone to open the warehouse and rewarded many things.

In a few days, Mrs. Cui came to the palace to pay her respects. Speaking of which, this was the first time that Yun Fenghuang met this sister-in-law face to face.

Because Xie Xiaoyu rushed to seal the palace with the smallpox when she remarried, the harem did not attend the next few seasonal palace banquets. Therefore, the aunt and sister-in-law have never seen each other.

Yun Fenghuang cried out with a smile at this moment, looked around, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Originally thought that this Cui family was born of Cui Wan's favorite concubine Ji, thinking that Cui Lianye had a good appearance, as the concubine's biological daughter, Cui family must have been born very well... Didn't Xie family imply earlier that she looks good? Well? But looking at it with my own eyes, it feels like an ordinary beauty.

This ordinary beauty is the result of careful grooming, and is actually not particularly outstanding.

Anyway, in the eyes of Yun Fenghuang, who is a rare beauty in herself, and who is used to beauties in the palace, she is a little bit discouraged.

"Sister-in-law is really out of touch. She said that you are pregnant, so you don't have to be too formal." Although he thought so in his heart, Yun Fenghuang was impeccable in the scene, and whispered softly, "Why do you have to work like this?"

Cui smiled embarrassingly, and said: "My concubine feels fine at the moment, I also asked the imperial physician before coming here, and said it's all right, so I took the liberty of bothering the empress."

Yun Fenghuang was disappointed in her, but she was quite interested in Yun Fenghuang.

After all, she is Yunfenghuang's sister-in-law. As a sequel, she is actually a few years younger than Yunfenghuang. She is only seventeen this year. It can be said that she grew up listening to the legend of Yunfenghuang.

Although it is said that the first sister has been tortured by the noble concubine in the palace, but to be honest, how many of the noble daughters have not secretly envied this noble concubine Min?

Cui was young and couldn't see Yun Fenghuang's thoughts, but sat in Huanhua Palace for a long time before leaving to see Concubine Cui Shu in Chengyue Palace.

After she left, Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and then said to the Qing people: "This new eighteenth sister-in-law surprised me a little, and it doesn't look like what my aunt said."

The Qing people said with a smile: "Mrs. Madam has always been a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person. She probably sees the gentleness and docileness of this eighteenth young lady, and she likes eighteenth young lady in her heart. The more she looks at her, the more she likes her. So she thinks that Eighteenth young lady is very Alright."

Mrs. Xie is indeed such a person, Yun Fenghuang is not surprised by this, she pondered and said: "It's not this... My aunt's personality is also clear to me, whenever she likes someone, she thinks he is very good-looking. But It's not that this palace deliberately dismissed her, this eighteenth sister-in-law's appearance is not very outstanding. Even in terms of Mingyan, she is a little worse than the previous eighteenth sister-in-law."

The imperial concubine thought to herself, before Xie Shi said that it was Cui Shi who first took a fancy to Xie Xiaoyu, but Xie Xiaoyu was not very happy to miss his dead wife.

At that time, he also thanked Xiao Yu for his deep affection for Xiao Jiang.

Looking at it now, it may have something to do with the fact that Cui's appearance is not better than that of Xiao Jiang's.

Of course, even if he thought so, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't blame Xie Xiaoyu for anything. After all, Xiaojiang's mother and son are gone, so it's impossible for her direct elder brother to guard her cousin and sister-in-law for the rest of her life.

It's just that she instinctively felt a little bit of discord, that is, Cui Shi didn't look like Gu Su's delicate and savage temperament, but was innocent and simple?

Such a girl would generally not do such a thing as looking for a life and death in order to get married, would she?

But after thinking about it, maybe the Cui family wanted to give their daughter to Xie Xiaoyu, and they were afraid that it would be said that they were rushing to cling to the noble concubine, and pretended that the girl had taken a fancy to Xie's son. Later, you can give Eighteenth Brother a hint that everything is fine in the palace, so that they and the couple don't have to be too polite. It is serious to teach Eighteenth Sister-in-law to have a good pregnancy, and to open up branches and leaves for Eighteenth Brother as soon as possible. "

After experiencing Xiao Jiang's tragedy, she was really afraid that something would go wrong with Cui's birth.

Not only was she happy again in vain, but the key point was that if Xie Xiaoyu died two wives in a row, both of whom were missing during childbirth, she would have to be suspected of subjugating his wife just like Gu Zhen.

At that time, although it will not be impossible to marry a wife, it is very unlikely to marry a noble daughter.

When she was worried, in Chengyue Palace, the Cui sisters were also talking about Cui's pregnancy.

Cui Lianye looked at the younger sister who was about the same age as her own daughter, and was speechless for a while before saying: "The noble concubine takes good care of Mrs. Xie, and now that you are her sister-in-law, you don't have to be too restrained, just be respectful. The important thing is this child, as long as you give birth to an heir, I see that all your sisters-in-law will be protected and pampered by her."

Cui is also cautious about her, not much more relaxed than in front of the imperial concubine: "Sister said yes. But the minister is thinking, the minister has not greeted the imperial concubine after entering the door, if she does not come this time, in case the imperial concubine What should I do if I suspect that my wife despises her because of her pregnancy? Sisters-in-law can get the favor of the imperial concubine, after all, they have more than one heir under their knees. For example, the thirteenth sister-in-law of the husband's family, whose daughter-in-law Xie Meng has been raised by the imperial concubine until now, Among the three Miss Xie in the palace, she is the most favorite niece of the imperial concubine. In this way, the thirteenth sister-in-law naturally doesn't have to worry about it all the time when she is in front of the imperial concubine. But the courtier's wife has not been introduced for a long time, so it is no wonder that the so-called courtesy... "

"What you said is also reasonable." Cui Lianye nodded, "But I see that the noble concubine attaches great importance to Xie's children, as long as you give birth to an heir, well-bred, and slightly rude, the noble concubine may not care about it."

After all, they have different mothers, and the age gap is huge. Although they are related by blood, they can't say how to get together. After talking about family affairs for a while, Cui Lianye left the concubine sister to eat a meal, and called the second prince to come to see the aunt. So they arranged for someone to send Cui Shi out of the palace.

But turning around, Cui Lianye's attendant suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you call more Miss Ten to come into the palace to talk, so that you can get closer to the imperial concubine and empress."

"That will have to wait until she gives birth to an heir and is confinement, not at this moment." Cui Lianye said lightly, "Otherwise, if she travels back and forth like this, the imperial concubine will feel sorry for her brother's flesh and blood, so she might have to clean up the palace."

The servant thought about it, and sighed, "I hope that Miss Ten can get a boy in one fell swoop. Although it is good for nieces to look at the imperial concubine, Miss Ten's son-in-law is still empty, and he must want a male heir. If With a male heir, Miss Ten's position in the Xie family will be stabilized."

They talked about it for a while, and then got busy with other things.

In the evening of that day, Yun Fenghuang received another news that Princess Yun'an wanted to send Princess Jinxi to the Royal Women's School, and be a classmate with Sister Zhaoqing.

Originally, this was not an embarrassing thing, because Sejong’s royal women’s school at that time was not only the princess, but also the jewel in the palm of the clan master and the county master, as well as the married princess and even the daughter of the princess and county master, including some The daughters and granddaughters of important ministers are really lively.

Yunan's request is very reasonable.

Besides, she is one of Xiaozong's flesh and blood that everyone tacitly agrees to treat Chunjia favorably.

The problem is that the Empress is worried: "Earlier, it was not clear why Yushan went there, so far there is no definite statement. It is nothing to let Jinxi come to the palace to study, but if someone really stares at this child secretly, the wrong eye will appear." What's wrong, this is how this palace will explain to His Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "What your mother said is that I also think that it is not good for Princess Jinxi to enter a women's school. After all, it is impossible to guard against it. But His Highness has brought it up. If he refuses, will it hurt His Highness's heart if he doesn't say it?" , if it spreads out, I'm afraid Yu Shengyu will get in the way?"

After all, for the sake of the royal family's face, the case of Princess Yushan's premature death was quickly closed.

At this moment, it is embarrassing for Princess Jinxi to enter the school. It is not good to say it clearly. Outsiders can only say that Chunjia's so-called generous treatment of Xiaozong's relatives and daughters is a lie. In fact, the emperor did not even allow his niece to enter a female school. This...

"That's why I feel a headache." Gu Zhen frowned, "I don't know what she thinks, Your Highness, since Yushan left, she has always looked at Jinxi like a blind eye, and she is not allowed to leave the place in front of her for a moment. Why did you think of this at this moment? It's not nice to say that the princess is noble, but she is not as good as the princess. No matter what the girls are here, they must be close to the queens first. Princess Now that I am young, I haven't reached the age where I must learn something. His Highness did this suddenly, if he didn't know whether the child was her own, or the only remaining flesh and blood, I would have doubted His Highness's thoughts. "

Is it possible that you want to dump the blame on the royal family?

Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and said: "Either Your Majesty summons His Highness next time, and speaks frankly and honestly with His Highness face to face? After all, it involves the safety of the Princess, so it's better not to agree easily."

The queen also agreed, but she knew that she was clumsy in speech, so she pulled Yun Fenghuang along.

The next day, Princess Yun'an was summoned into the palace, and when she arrived at Chongchang Hall, she paid her respects. When she saw a concubine and a concubine waiting for her, she knew what she was doing. I have no choice but to entrust Jin Xi to the palace!"

The concubine was startled when she heard this, and the queen said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are young, and you are not afraid of bad luck!"
