The old concubine Xue had a kind and kind face in front of others. Even if Princess Guo did something wrong a while ago, she was a little stricter, but she was not as good as she was today, without any face to scold her.

.

The Princess of Guo County was shocked.

After a rebuke, the old concubine Xue calmed down and said, "Don't be wronged. I am a little old and half-in-grounded person. Why do I have to care about so many other things to attract people's annoyance? But no matter how hard I don't, I can't

I saw that the Prince Guo’s Mansion fell before I could stretch my legs.”

"Old concubine, my wife never thought so." Princess Guo County lowered her head and did not dare to look at the old concubine Xue. Her respect for the old concubine Xue was only for the sake of face. They knew each other well, but they didn't expect that one day they would be the same.

, Old Concubine Xue would say it in person, and she would spread it, so how could she be a human being in the future?

"I don't want to mention it too much." Old Concubine Xue said softly, "Only the most important thing in front of you is that you must have heard of the attack on the Dajing mission before me. Your man is now responsible for receiving the mission.

What do you think?"

"This mob has happened every time. My wife has been burning incense and praying for blessings these days, eating vegetarian food and chanting scriptures, asking God to bless the princess of the county." The princess of Guo County is the way that ordinary men go out and women are at home. There is nothing wrong with the rules and regulations.

.

"What else have you done besides these?" Old Concubine Xue asked, staring at Princess Guo County's eyes.

"My wife also sent rice and flour to Ci'en Hall outside the city." Princess Guo thought for a while and said, "Playing porridge and rice is a kind act that the noble lady often does.

Old Concubine Xue shook her head, "These are all small things. Just do it normally. These will not play a big role at critical moments. You don't know what to do. I'll ask you. Do you know that others are all there.

What to do?”

"Each family is different. What is the old concubine Xue referring to?" Princess Guo County was a little confused.

Old Concubine Xue was not vague and said, "I'm talking about several powerful families such as Ding's Mansion. I believe you can also notice that when Ding's Princess Ding was in Yancheng, he rarely went out to walk around. But recently, many

After a few trips, what are they doing for?”

Princess Guo County dared not say that something happened to her relatives in Prince Ding's mansion. Princess Ding showed off her power and wanted to support her relatives, and it was reasonable to do something.

"Men are away from home. Women are always worried, so they want to inquire about things outside." Old Concubine Xue sighed, "I didn't quite understand many things when I was young. Now I'm old and see what some young people do.

Only then did I realize that sometimes not everything is done right is praised, but caring is messy, and I always stay awake. The feeling that I give people is heartless."

"What the old concubine means is that the designated princess frequently walks with the Sixth Prince's Mansion?" Princess Guo was not too stupid and immediately reacted. There were some rumors outside that Princess Ding was approaching Princess Xiangshan, and had ulterior motives.

She also thought to herself. Princess Ding was young and King Ding was not around her. She didn't know how to avoid suspicion and would cause trouble sooner or later.

The old concubine Xue nodded: "She frequently walked with the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and it is very likely that she was worried about the situation on the border and wanted to inquire about more information. This is the same as when Mrs. Meng came to the door and inquire about the situation of the Dajing mission.

Yes, this is related to the peace between the two countries and is not careless. Think about what others have done and then look at what you have done? Does it seem petty?"

"But now the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Meng Clan... Isn't Princess Ding like this easy to arouse criticism?" Princess Guo was a little dissatisfied. Everyone was hiding in the Sixth Prince's Mansion. Many people received the banquet at the Prince's Mansion.

I've made excuses to not go to posts.

"So you are not convinced if you are petty?" Old Concubine Xue sneered, "When you had a good relationship with the Meng clan, you were all very enthusiastic about Princess Xiangshan. People came to the house for a banquet, and you asked your daughter-in-law to personally take the initiative.

The reception was so attentive, but the news came out of some bad news. I wanted to draw a clear line as if I didn’t know others. How would others think of you in this way? This is too ugly, right?”

After hearing this, Princess Guo could no longer bear it, but what the old concubine Xue said was the facts, and she could not refute it, and said, "My wife did something wrong."

"I know it's wrong after coming and going, but it's easy to say something." Old Concubine Xue sighed, "It's easy to change the country and nature, but it's hard to change it. It's unlikely that you can change your mind in a moment. I just hope you

Even for the sake of children, don’t be too mean to deal with people, just like being more kind to the previous Princess Ding and the people in the Meng family recently, what can I do if I am more kind to you?"

"Yes, the old concubine, my wife will change in the future." Princess Guo said respectfully.

Old Concubine Xue said: "Do you understand the current situation?"

"What is the old concubine?" Princess Guo County asked cautiously.

Old Concubine Xue lowered her voice: "The situation in the court has changed a lot over the past year, and many powerful officials have been convicted one after another. In just one year, there are many more officials who have been convicted than in the past ten years. You just have a little more.

Don't feel anything?"

Princess Guo was shocked. It would be fine if she didn't think about many things. Once someone broke the window paper, she also felt strange. If there were major changes in the past, such as the alternation of imperial power, fierce fighting for the throne, and the big court

It is understandable that the cleansing is in vain, but now there is obviously no such thing.

The emperor is in his prime, the princes are not yet rich, and the party disputes have not been formed, so why did he reach such a situation? Although those ministers are guilty of crimes, such as the case of corruption in the dike, which is related to the lives of thousands of people, those who dare to be greedy in the ink will naturally have to

The heavy part is, but this time there are too many involvement.

There are also some seemingly inconspicuous small cases, and the court officials involved are also quite dirty, which is really abnormal.

"My wife is stupid, please give me advice." Princess Guo County sincerely asked for advice from Lao Tai Concubine Xue this time. She also realized the seriousness of the matter, but she still didn't understand it very well.

Old Concubine Xue whispered: "Do you think my old woman is a god and know everything? She just ate a few more handfuls of salt than you. She saw a little more and knew something was wrong. She just reminded you that at this critical moment, don't

If you offend someone randomly, you will ask you to do whatever you want. No matter big or small, do what you are kind to others. Those who do wrong things and ask you to help you, you must never interfere. Forget it, some things are difficult to distinguish for a while.

In this way, since your man is not here, you will not go out in the future and do not do well."

Princess Guo County nodded cautiously.

...

During the time when the old concubine Xue taught her daughter-in-law a lesson, Princess Xiangshan climbed the door of Prince Ding's Mansion.

Su Yiqing ordered the maid to receive Princess Xiangshan in the garden.

This is the first time Princess Xiangshan has visited the garden of Prince Ding Mansion. She felt a little novel for a while. She was so bright that she saw the flowers and green willows, and she was very elegant. She said to Prince Ding before, she was not very good at it.

These are a little different. I can't help but be surprised.

After chatting for a few words, she asked casually: "The princess's garden is very well-tied. Did it be arranged by the princess?"

Su Yiqing smiled: "Even if I have this free time, I don't have this clever mind. This garden is naturally proficient in garden arrangements, and gardeners are responsible for it. Those like Sa Shao are responsible for it."

"Oh, how did your princess pass the time in her spare time?" Princess Xiangshan was quite curious. What did this Princess Ding, who looked different from other families, do on weekdays.

"Reading." Su Yiqing smiled faintly, "I don't have any other hobbies. I like reading. Occasionally, I see some novel pastries or spice recipes recorded in the book. I will ask the maids and mothers to try to make them.

Try it.”

"Women like reading books, but there are quite a few of them." Princess Xiangshan couldn't help but say, "No wonder the princess looks very bookish, not like..."

Speaking of this, Princess Xiangshan was shocked and seemed to have said the wrong thing and shouldn't have said that.

Su Yiqing smiled indifferently, "I grew up in the countryside when I was very young. The countryside is dull. There is nothing else to do except reading books, and there is nothing to do. If I have been growing up with the Meng family, I might be too

Be good at riding and shooting.”

But your martial arts are not bad. Princess Xiangshan added secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to say this. It was equivalent to revealing other people's privacy and suspected of spying on other people's secrets.

"Princess, please try this Hundred Flowers Cake." Su Yiqing obviously didn't want to continue the topic, pointing to the plate of pastry introduction in front of her, "This is the recipe I saw in the book, and the cook tried to make it.

Made of flowers made of stamens, of course, it is said to be a hundred flowers, but it is not easy to collect all stamens of 100 practical flowers. Currently, there are only a dozen species, but the taste is quite good. I will try it when I appreciate the flowers.

Flower cakes have a unique taste.”

"Okay." Princess Xiangshan picked up a piece of flower cake and savored it carefully. It was really hard to say that it was very delicious, but as Princess Ding said, there was a strong fragrance of flowers, and it tasted a different taste after savoring it carefully.

After tasting the flowers and tea, Su Yiqing finally asked, "Is the princess here to enjoy the flowers and tea with me?"

"The princess is really clear and can't hide anything from you." Princess Xiangshan smiled calmly, "I'm really asking for something."

"Princess, please tell me?" Su Yiqing's eyes were calm, not particularly attentive, nor distant.

Princess Xiangshan said: "I heard a news that it is said that the Dajing mission was attacked and some people were killed and injured. However, now I have no one available under my command, so I don't know if the news is accurate, so I came to ask.

princess."

Su Yiqing said: "This is indeed true. Because of this, the delegation has been repairing it in the local area. It may take a while before it arrives in Yancheng."

"Do you know who did it?" When Princess Xiangshan asked this, her tone was calm, but there was still a sense of anxiety in her eyes.

Su Yiqing shook her head: "It's not easy to know that it is said that all those attacked were dead soldiers. They either were killed or bite the poison and committed suicide, and there was no way to investigate."

"Are there no clues in such a large-scale attack?" Princess Xiangshan asked again.

"If you want to talk about clues, there are probably still some, but it's hard to say." Su Yiqing said calmly, "Since the other party intends to cover up his identity, the clues left behind may mislead people. The more obvious the clues are, the more wrong it is.

It’s really hard to say that I live in the inner house after all, and my knowledge is limited.”

"That's how it is." Princess Xiangshan seemed a little disappointed.

Su Yiqing asked: "Are the princess worried that the violent tribe did during the attack?"

Princess Xiangshan was first energetic, then smiled bitterly: "Nothing can be hidden from the princess. I heard some rumors, saying that the least I wanted to see the reconciliation between Dazhou and Dajing was the Feng Clan, so once something happened

, it may be exploited by those who are interested and will fall into the head of the fierce clan."

Su Yiqing nodded, expressed her understanding, and then comforted: "Princess, don't worry, it's not so easy to make a blame on others. There are countless capable people in my dynasty, and they can still distinguish right from wrong."

"I hope so." Princess Xiangshan smiled a little reluctantly.

In fact, she was not sure whether this was really a frame-up. Based on her understanding of the Feng Clan, the Feng Clan definitely did not like the alliance between Da Zhou and Da Jing. The various methods she used before were also to force Da Zhou to express her opinion.

So it is unknown whether this is done by the Meng Clan, but now it is difficult for her to get important information from the Meng Clan again. She only knows that the Meng Clan also has news that she wants her to try every means to stop these two countries.

Forge an alliance.

She was quite powerless in this regard. Now she couldn't do anything. After working hard for so long, she could never truly integrate into the circle of ladies in Dazhou. Even if she integrated, based on her understanding of the people of Dazhou, Dazhou's

Men rarely listen to women and do not really consider women's opinions.

Even if she was making friends with those noble ladies, it was of little use. As for the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were constant struggles and constant struggles. I didn't know how to die if I accidentally died. There was no long-lasting concubine in the harem, so

There is no way to start.

What she can do is really limited.

In addition, she began to doubt some of the practices of the Meng Clan. Why did it have to be like this? Isn’t everyone living together peacefully? The Meng Clan is now quite infighting.

If you don’t handle your own internal affairs well, you want to make up for others. One day, if you have internal and external troubles, it will be easy to get into trouble. In fact, in terms of military strength and strength, the Feng Clan cannot compare with the Dajing and Dazhou.

The reason why they can survive is entirely because the two countries are fighting each other, and there is no time to estimate the Feng Clan, which gives Feng Clan the opportunity to recuperate.

Instead of using this period of time to strengthen itself, the Feng Clan thought about taking advantage of the weak power of Dajing to annex the rich land of Dajing. This is simply unrealistic.

The Meng tribe is a nomadic people. What is the use of so many lands? They don’t know how to cultivate, and they rob the land of sheep and sheep. Now there is not enough land to graze, so why do you need to rob others? It’s not that easy to rob them.
