Although Yan Zhao's trip was not fanfare and ostentatious, it was not a simple trip in plain clothes.

Therefore, among the people who came to Ci'an Temple to offer incense, many of them found out that the sixth concubine came here with her uncle's family.

There are many women in Beijing who want to befriend the sixth prince and concubine, but this one is different from other princes and concubines. After getting married, they stay in the prince's mansion and live in secluded places. After posting ten times, it is good to go once.up.

Yan Zhao asked people to block the official family members who came to visit frequently, and finally calmed down a little.

But there are also people with higher status and close relatives, such as Mrs. Marquis JinYuan and Lu Yan, who happen to be in this temple.The maid knew that these two were the concubine's aunt and cousin, so she made it clear first.

This was not an appointment, it just so happened that Lu Yan's health improved a lot, and she stayed at home for a few months, and wanted to come out to get some air.Mrs. Marquis JinYuan was worried about further troubles, so she was not allowed to attend those banquets, but came to Ci'an Temple to offer incense.

Marquis JinYuan Residence and the Xiao family have always been close by marriage. When Yan Zhao got married, Marquis JinYuan Residence added a lot of gifts.

As soon as Xiao Mingyun brought her daughter, she found out that the sixth concubine also came to Ci'an Temple to offer incense.

Even the host's request for a signature to the Sixth Prince and Concubine was spread out, and many female relatives were full of envious discussions, and even Xiao Mingyun felt a little emotional after hearing it, the daughter of the Fourth Sister is indeed blessed.

Not only did the sixth prince ask for a marriage in person, but even the noble concubine Shu in the palace loved this daughter-in-law very much. thought it would be difficult to walk on thin ice after marrying into the royal family. didn't see it, but unexpectedly went well.

Xiao Mingyun came back to his senses, sighed secretly in his heart, and corrected his expression, even if her husband is a first-rank Marquis and an important minister in the court, it is still a courtesy to come to see the prince and concubine.

Lu Yan didn't have the complicated mood of her mother, but she also knew etiquette. After entering, she saluted slightly, "I have seen the sixth prince and concubine."

Yan Zhao waved his hand and said casually, "You don't have to be so polite when you meet your family."

Seeing that Lu Yan's skin is white and rosy, and her powder is puffy, she is very beautiful.At first glance, there is a vague illusion of a married woman and an unmarried girl.Yan Zhao touched her face, it was a little round, but the food she had eaten recently was very good. The chef from Sichuan Province newly recruited by the mansion was very good at cooking, which almost aroused her memories of her previous life.

Fan chatted with Xiao Mingyun for a while, and then talked about the efficacious release of the lottery in Ci'an Temple, and it was no surprise that it was the lottery that Yan Zhaoqiu had.

Fortunately, the presiding monk said that noble people value themselves,

If he only prospered others but not himself, then Yan Zhao would be speechless.The presiding monk of this temple has an unusually high emotional intelligence, even if Yan Zhao doesn't believe it, he still thinks it's a good word.

Not to mention that Fan and the old lady happily donated a large amount of sesame oil immediately after hearing this.

Yan Zhao wasn't very interested at first, but he heard that Ci'an Temple often helps the poor, and after giving porridge to the poor every year, his senses improved a lot, so he donated some silver taels as a charity.

Fan also said, "The third sister might as well take Yan'er to ask for a lottery, to see if there is a good marriage."

Xiao Mingyun smiled and shook his head, "This marriage is not so easy to calculate."

No matter how good it is, I'm afraid it can't compare to the dignity of the prince and concubine.

If it is said that when the eldest princess recommended the sixth prince as a good match, Xiao Mingyun declined it out of various scruples.Afterwards, he wouldn't take it to heart, but in the blink of an eye, the sixth prince asked His Majesty to marry him, regardless of the difference in status, and married the fourth younger sister's daughter as his concubine.

It made the Sixth Princess the most enviable person among all Capital City women.

Xiao Mingyun couldn't help feeling a little bit of regret, if she had listened to the words of the eldest princess, maybe Yan'er would be the one who was praised as lucky now.

No matter how complicated the thoughts in his heart were, Xiao Mingyun's expression was as usual, calm and elegant, and he suddenly said, "Recently, most of the people in the British government are the second-bedroom wives who come out to socialize, but Shizi's wife doesn't come out very often."

Some people said that it was because his beloved youngest son was sent to the Mobei military camp, and Mrs. Shizi fell ill because of missing him too much.But more people guessed that it was because they offended Concubine Shu's faction, and the Duke's Mansion deliberately avoided their edge.

Fan didn't know whether the third sister had intentions or not, so she just smiled and said, "The rooms in the Duke's house are not very peaceful on weekdays, and there will always be bumps and bumps in the whole family."

At this moment, the subject was changed, and the matter of Mrs. Shizi who was involved with Yan Zhao staying behind closed doors became a joke of the fighting between the several rooms of the British government.

Xiao Mingyun smiled and stopped talking about it, but followed Fan to chat about the gossip and anecdotes in Beijing.

Yan Zhao listened to their conversation and thought about it for a long time before he remembered Mrs. British Prince. Last time, his memory was still on the matter of Concubine Shu supporting her and singled out Mrs. British Prince to make an example of others.

Everyone also stayed at Ci'an Temple for lunch at noon. The vegetarian food in this temple is not generally good, and the health preservation will not make people feel bland, and even the refreshments after meals have a special flavor.

Yan Zhao guessed that the prosperity of incense in Ci'an Temple had something to do with this vegetarian craftsmanship.

After dinner, someone came outside to invite Mrs. Marquis JinYuan and Miss. After hearing the message, Xiao Mingyun looked at Yan Zhaowen and said with a smile, "Mrs..”

Yan Zhao had no interest in this kind of social interaction, so naturally he refused.

Xiao Mingyun frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, got up and left, thinking to himself, there are rumors in Beijing now that the sixth prince and concubine don't like to socialize, if things go on like this, I'm afraid gossip will be inevitable.

As a princess, it is the duty of a royal daughter-in-law to manage these relationships well.

Now that Yan Zhao is relying on her temporary favor, she has no fear of being willful and arrogant, and she doesn't know how she will deal with herself at that time.

Similarly, Fan was also a little worried, not only because he would easily offend others, but also because he was afraid that his niece would have a bad reputation.

Yan Zhao shook his head, "There are too many posts sent to the mansion, and His Highness and I have always ignored them."

If Si Tuzhou needs it, she will naturally try her best to do it well.But Si Tuzhou's attitude is very clear, he doesn't care about that position, and he doesn't care about making friends with his officials.

After hearing her words, Fan didn't say anything more.

Compared to Xiao Mingyun, Fan's family is more measured. She is only the aunt of the Sixth Prince's Concubine, so she can give advice and suggestions on trivial matters, but she dare not point fingers at will when it comes to the position of the Prince's Mansion.

the other side,

Seeing that the sixth concubine did not come with Mrs. Marquis JinYuan, the faces of the noble ladies from all families were a little bit bad. They were really favored and aloof as the rumors said.Some people even murmured in their hearts, could it be that the sixth prince and concubine who came from a small family still put on airs and looked down on them.

Some people also had other thoughts, Zheng Guogong's mansion is the first relative of the empress dowager, although the empress dowager has passed away, but their family still has several concubines and concubines in the palace, so they got the news early. Next year's ladies election, His Majesty doesn't plan to enter the harem, so there is a high probability that the selected ladies will belong to the royal family.

The best place to go is the residence of several princes.

The eldest prince's strength in the court is mediocre, the chance of becoming the heir is not great, and there is also the eldest prince's concubine who has a very deep relationship. After many years of marriage, there is only one prostitute, and have never seen him doting on other concubines and concubines.

For example, the third prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince are good choices, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the fourth prince is not as favored as the third prince, but the third prince's concubine has a noble family background and extraordinary skills, so she may not be able to stand out under her nose. After thinking about it, Zheng Guogong's mansion has its eyes on the sixth prince.

The sixth prince's concubine's family background is not high and her foundation is shallow, and she is nothing if she has a good appearance. And His Majesty's ability to praise the natal family of the Sixth Prince and Concubine shows that the Sixth Prince has quite a face. If one enters his residence, the future will naturally be splendid.

So when she knew that the sixth concubine was also here, Mrs. Zheng Guogong immediately thought of it and asked Mrs. Marquis JinYuan to come and sit with the sixth concubine.

If the sixth concubine agrees to come over, she can also test this person's temperament first, and see if her own daughter can replace him in the future. Although there is no rule in this dynasty to straighten a concubine's room, there have been such examples in the royal family.

It would be even better if you don't come, then everyone will know how arrogant and domineering the Sixth Princess is.

Mrs. Zheng Guogong held up the teacup, hiding the smile in her eyes.

It's October, and the scenery in Ci'an Temple is also good, with golden chrysanthemums in full bloom and autumn flowers in full bloom.

After Yan Zhao and his aunt wandered around for a long time, someone reported that the sixth prince had arrived.

Fan did not expect that the sixth prince would come to pick up his niece in person, didn't it mean that His Highness has something to enter the palace today.

It is true that Si Tuzhou went to Ci'an Temple as soon as he left the palace, and he did not return home to change clothes.If it wasn't for the emperor's father who still pulled him and summoned six ministers to discuss the matter of cement, he could have come earlier.

As he said that, he apologized to Yan Zhao in a friendly voice, without any pretensions of a prince.

Seeing how the two got along, Fan was both surprised and relieved. It seemed that the relationship between the niece and the sixth prince was even better than she had imagined.

There were also quite a few people who saw the sixth prince coming to pick up the sixth prince's concubine, and felt that the rumors of the sixth prince's sweet and loving couple were true.

As for the girl who has not left the court, Lu Yan couldn't help saying enviously, "The sixth prince is so kind to cousin Yan." Who wouldn't want to marry such a noble, gentle and considerate husband-in-law.

Xiao Mingyun's eyes were complicated, so he could only sigh inwardly, and gently stroked his daughter's head.

Before leaving, the temple also sent a vegetarian recipe recipe, Yan Zhao smiled, it seems that even this pure place of Buddhism is inseparable from human feelings and sophistication.

Si Tuzhou also saw the lottery she asked for today, and after listening to the batch of words, she smiled, "I think the host said something good."

Yan Zhao, who was sitting in the car, turned to look at him with doubts on his face.

Si Tuzhou said with a smile, "Aren't you my nobleman?"
