I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

When the news that Emperor Longning wanted to marry Wang Heng and Zhi Niang reached Hui Niang's ears from the palace, Hui Niang felt a pang of disappointment in her heart: after all, she has returned to the old way.In her life, there were many changes compared with the previous life, and finally there was one thing that made her deeply feel that she was experiencing everything she had ever experienced.

It doesn't matter whether she's happy or sad, Animian just feels that her mood is a bit mixed, Wang Yan sees it, just thinks that she is unhappy because of this marriage, so he has to comfort her: "If you don't want to call your fourth sister 'sister-in-law', you will rarely see her in the future Just a few meetings. I don't think you two will have too many opportunities to meet in the future. Except for the big occasions of the New Year, festivals, and birthday banquets, there are not many opportunities to meet at other times. In front of the father and the queen On the other hand, your fourth sister can't embarrass you - if you really don't want to see her, at worst we don't stay in the capital, I'll follow my elder brother's example and find a fief to stay, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it's even easier."

"Are you planning to join Fan?" Hui Niang was startled, and stared blankly at Wang Yan.Although Wang Yan usually doesn't show off the mountains and dews, he is not as sharp-edged as Wang Heng, who rushes forward in everything, but Huiniang can tell that he has great ambitions in his heart - he also has great ambitions for that high position. own expectations.Moreover, it has been working hard for a long time.

Including running back and forth about Qin Jiahong's affairs, it may not be just because of Qin Jiahong's relationship with Hui Niang, or his friendship with Wang Yan.More, maybe Wang Yan is thinking about it in the future.These things may not be clear to Aniniang at the moment, but when she thinks about them in private, how likely is it that she can't figure them out?Some of Wang Yan's ideas, Huiniang can always figure out one or two points.

However, if you are now a vassal, these efforts and plans will be completely in vain. Unless the world is in chaos later, Wang Yan will no longer have anything to do with the throne—it can be said that he will give up the throne Give it to Wang Heng.

"Hey, you don't have to..." Hui Niang was also a little anxious, she grabbed Wang Yan's sleeve with one hand, "It's not that I don't want to call her sister-in-law, I just..." Hui Niang swallowed what she almost blurted out, she always It can't be said that she was murdered to death in the last life before and after Wang Heng married Zhi Niang, and she still has lingering fears about their marriage in this life, right?After a pause, he said: "There's no need to make such a fuss. Even if she puts my sister-in-law's money in front of me, I just ignore her. Just go about your business, and I won't hold you back."

Wang Yan looked at Hui Niang and smiled, "It's fine if you don't feel wronged. If you feel wronged and don't want to stay in the capital, I don't have to fight for anything. Stay away and protect you and your daughter. It's not a problem. .”

Hui Niang pursed her lips. If Wang Heng is really made emperor, what will happen to their family in the future, it's too early to talk about "protection", she doesn't think Wang Heng will give their family a safe place Chance.

Besides, even if Wang Heng didn't regard Wang Yan as an enemy in the first place, now that Zhi Niang is here, with Zhi Niang's misunderstanding and hostility towards him, and the wind blowing on his pillow, even if there is nothing wrong, he may tell the truth.

Hui Niang took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and forced a smile on her face, "It's all about nothing, it's too early to talk about it now, news came from the palace today, the imperial concubine has already told the empress I’m afraid I’m going to be taken to be a strong man, I just get a headache when I think about it.”

"That's a must to recharge your batteries." Wang Yan smiled and rubbed Hui Niang's upper arm. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. Although the smile was warm, there was some worry and reluctance in his eyes.

***

Sure enough, within a few days, on the second day after the palace decree was officially promulgated, the empress had someone bring Huiniang closer to the palace, and the noble concubine was sitting in the hall of Changxin Palace, one on the left and one on the left with Concubine Qing. Sitting next to the queen on the right, staring at Anise and smiling kindly.

The Empress and Concubine Qing are fine, the imperial concubine looks at Hui Niang with such eyes, it always makes Hui Niang feel creepy.She managed to suppress the discomfort and collected herself before greeting the elders.

"I called you here today because of the marriage between Heng Lang and your fourth younger sister." In front of the noble concubine, the queen talked about Wang Heng with a bit of intimacy, without revealing her dislike or embarrassment for the bastard at all. "Last time when Rongcheng got married, you helped me out inside and out, and the imperial concubine looked at you and said you were very capable. The marriage between Heng Lang and your fourth sister was arranged two months later, and it sounds like the time of Rongcheng's big wedding. , both sides are your relatives, it would be more convenient for you to handle the matter."

Hui Niang's life experience has brought her a lot of convenience, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a complaint: both sides are relatives, and it is duty-bound to say that, but if these relatives don't exist, I don't know how much effort she will save. !The last time Princess Rongcheng got married, there were relatives she valued on both sides, and I tried my best to arrange and take care of them, which can be regarded as the complete friendship between her and the two.But Wang Heng and Zhi Niang, both of them are people she can't wait to hide far away, plus the old scores from the previous life... Hui Niang bit her lower lip lightly, pulling back her attention that was gradually diverging away. Under the scorching eyes of the elders, he reluctantly squeezed out the word "yes".

Both the queen and concubine Qing should have seen her reluctance. Concubine Qing showed a knowing and satisfied smile on her lips. There was a little comforting taste, "In the past two months, you have worked harder, and things have been done beautifully. Your noble mother and concubine must thank you very much!"

The imperial concubine may have also seen Animiang's reluctance, but she ignored it, and only followed the queen's words: "I am a picky person, and I have heard people describe many of these big and small weddings in Beijing. But the one who was really satisfied was really only Rongcheng. This time, I always thought it would have to be lively—you know, Heng Lang’s life is hard, and the people and things around him are not big these few years. Shun, it would be great if this marriage can be a blessing in disguise—whether it can or not depends on Yan Lang's daughter-in-law's ability."

Hui Niang's eyes moved slightly, the imperial concubine's request...is it too high?It gave her an excuse to decline.She pretended to murmur, "The emperor's eldest grandson and the former third sister-in-law passed away one after another, and we also feel distressed when we see the third brother. It's just that I am young and weak. The last marriage between Rongcheng and my cousin was mostly decided by the queen mother." Make arrangements, I followed behind to help spread a few words, and did not do anything. Now the imperial concubine entrusts such a big responsibility to the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is afraid..." She looked at the expression of the imperial concubine, and hurriedly said: "Even if the imperial concubine The middle-aged and elders can't get away, and there are four sisters-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, and sixth sister-in-law, so it's good if we can discuss it."

It’s okay not to mention those sister-in-laws, but when Aniniang mentions them, the queen and Concubine Qing match up in a subtle way, and the concubine’s lips show some disapproval, “Your sister-in-laws are not Useful! Discuss with them, it’s better for you to handle it alone.”

Hui Niang was taken aback, wondering why the imperial concubine had such a low opinion of the other sister-in-laws.But the top priority is to find a way to get rid of the errand on her body. She made a few more excuses, but she still couldn't get rid of it.

As soon as Hui Niang agreed, the noble concubine immediately got up to say goodbye, looked at Hui Niang again, and motioned for her to bid farewell to the queen, and immediately went back to the palace with her.But the queen asked Hui Niang to stay, "I still have some things here that I want her to bring back to Linghong after she finishes picking them out. Let her go find you later."

The imperial concubine smiled slightly, and then left in a domineering manner.

The queen also quickly withdrew her eyes from the imperial concubine's back, and motioned for Qing concubine and Hui Niang to follow her to the inner hall to talk. "This matter has indeed wronged you, but she first brought this matter to the emperor, and the emperor has already agreed to her. Even if you don't agree today, you can't escape this errand—if your father-in-law comes forward, you will come It’s going to be ugly in time.”

Hui Niang's father-in-law is not an ordinary father-in-law, so it would be a big deal for him to come out.However, this group of older mothers-in-law and younger mothers-in-law are not all light-saving lamps... Hui Niang nodded helplessly, "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your guidance."

The queen shook her head slightly, "It's true that you can only come forward to discuss this matter. Your elder sister-in-law is far away, and the second sister-in-law is definitely not suitable. The other three sister-in-laws..." The queen snorted softly, with a smile on her face. It's a little weird, "Since Rongcheng got married, you found out that you were pregnant, and you didn't go out of the house much. The imperial concubine's eyes were fixed on your three sister-in-laws—not on them, but mainly on the princes. It just so happens that you don't Going out for a walk, she invites someone into the palace, so it's only natural that she doesn't call you. But..."

"But, those princes and concubines are all mud that can't be pasted on the wall, and none of them are willing to answer the words of the concubine. The concubine invited her a few times, but they were all flirtatious. The family members of a prince concubine, or several princes, have not helped Duke Huai once, or even one or two. They even played a role in Duke Huai's marriage, which was constantly pushed and pulled by the court last year, and strongly advocated that Duke Huai marry Fu Princess of the Southern Kingdom, the noble concubine heard about it, and from now on, she secretly hated your sisters-in-law?"

Concubine Qing didn't have so many worries. After taking the Queen's words, it was rare for her to speak bluntly and vulgarly, but she made things clear at a glance.

Only then did Hui Niang understand why the noble concubine would take her so lightly when she mentioned those sister-in-laws.She sat in the Queen's Palace for a while, secretly expressed her loyalty to the Queen several times, and then left the Changxin Palace. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, she passed through the palace walls and went to the palace where the noble concubine lives.

As soon as she entered the inner hall of the imperial concubine's palace, she saw Zhi Niang sitting opposite the imperial concubine, and Hui Niang subconsciously paused.On the other hand, Zhi Niang greeted her with a charming smile, "Second sister, long time no see." But she couldn't tell at all, she had said that to Hui Niang a few months ago. "I heard from my aunt that the happy event in two months' time will be handled by the second sister? That's really hard for the second sister."

Looking at the smug smile on Zhi Niang's lips, no matter how stupid Hui Niang is, she has already figured it out: she was surprised before that she and the imperial concubine had never been involved much, and now the relationship between Wang Heng and Wang Yan is also very distant , and there was even a faint tendency of confrontation, what did the noble concubine come to provoke her for no reason?Now it seems that Zhi Niang must have come up with the idea of ​​letting her handle it, and blowing it in the ear of the imperial concubine—the imperial concubine was really moved!

And Zhi Niang's purpose is also so obvious: You don't like this marriage, and you deliberately want to separate me and my cousin?Now that I beat you with a single trick, I will humiliate you and let you handle this marriage. If you don’t like it, you have to face it. You even arrange our wedding hall and bridal chamber with your own hands, and watch me marry My beloved cousin.

It's also really...

There was a hint of coldness in Hui Niang's eyes, but fortunately she lowered her head in time, and when she raised her head again, there was only a smile in her eyes, "It's the duty of a daughter-in-law to share the worries for the empress and concubine, and you can't be 'hard work' Two words. Fourth sister, just rest assured, prepare the dowry at home, and be your bride."

Zhi Niang hasn't really joined the royal family yet, without that status, Hui Niang can still show off her sister's money to tease her.The smile on Zhi Niang's face froze, and then she pretended to be shy, and lowered her head halfway.

The noble concubine interrupted her niece just right at this time, "You two are sisters, and you will also be sisters-in-law in the future. It is reasonable to help each other. Only this kind of harmony is the magnanimity that the royal family should have. But you have to put on a show for those courtiers, and save them from gossiping behind their backs all day, saying that our royal people are like five-eyed chickens behind their backs, and they will pinch when they meet..."

Hui Niang pursed her lips, the concubine's words meant something, but she didn't intend to answer, and after a few perfunctory promises, she stopped speaking easily, only smiling, but actually looked at the concubine Tongzhi indifferently in her heart. The mother laughs and talks about the banquet.
