Xia Tong had a sweet dream of getting rich for a while, but finally endured the heartache and asked people to return the gifts.

It's not that she doesn't love money, but... she is really afraid of offending the emperor. If she really agrees to the request of Feng Yuzhen and others, she may not be able to afford it.

Gold and silver are precious, but life is even more valuable.

She'd better settle down and be a salted fish.

When those people came to visit her again, Xia Tong simply said she was sick and disappeared. If they hit the wall a few more times, they would naturally not come to see her again. As for the suspicion behind her back, whether she was deliberately trying to appease the emperor or playing tricks to dominate the emperor, Xia Tong

Tongdu was too lazy to care - most of the people in the palace lived alone, so did they really expect to imitate Empress E's daughter Yinghe and live a beautiful life? It's not like she was stupid by reading books about sages.

Thinking about it carefully, she had never read a few sage books. From a young age, Xia Tong's favorite books were the story books collected from the streets and alleys. There was a more wonderful world there, which was enough to fill her spiritual emptiness.

Entering the palace is no exception, just don't let the emperor know, otherwise she will be said to be not doing her job properly.

When the golden breeze brought relief, Xia Tong met his mother, Mrs. Song, as he wished.

Mrs. Song is a kind and slightly confused woman, just like all mothers who are soft-hearted and love their children. But after all, she comes from a noble family and is naturally cautious in the face of imperial power.

As soon as she saw her daughter, she said angrily: "I thought I would wait until I was about to give birth before I could see you. Who would have thought that Eunuch An had conveyed the decree and asked my mother to come over in a daze? Didn't you say something to His Majesty that you shouldn't have said?"

She had heard that her daughter was very favored in the palace, and the Song family was certainly happy, but there had always been disputes in the palace, and those who relied on pampering would not end well, so she was worried that her daughter would follow the same path as the concubines.

Xia Tong took her mother's hand affectionately and said, "Don't worry too much. His Majesty thought of his daughter's homesickness, so he allowed you to come to the palace to see her. Let's not waste time talking and talk about things that are not there."

do what?"

Ms. Song was relieved and patted her daughter's back of the hand, "That's good. Even though His Majesty loves you, don't lose your sense of proportion. Stay away from arrogance and impetuosity, and cultivate your character. This is the long-term way."

A gust of cool breeze blew by, and Mrs. Song saw the muscles trembling on her white skin, and she couldn't help but frown, "It's such a cold day, I'm waiting outside, and I'm not afraid of catching the cold!"

With that said, Chunlan asked Chunlan to find a white fox fur collar and put it on her.

Xia Tong said angrily: "Why are you so delicate? It's not even August yet."

Mrs. Song refused to listen, "A healthy person cannot be careless. He would rather be hot than cold."

He insisted on putting that tail on her, and a circle of thick fur around his smooth neck made her little face look more and more translucent.

Mrs. Song couldn't help but look at her carefully, "I haven't seen you for half a year, but you seem to have grown up?"

The eyebrows are dark, the lips are bright red, and they are more and more full of spring. The chest is not as flat as when she first entered the palace, but has moving curves - she does not look like a little girl, she is clearly a big girl.

Xia Tong thought to herself, otherwise people would call her a vixen? A vixen must also have capital, right?

She didn't want to discuss Lingquan with anyone, so she just held up her mother's arm and said, "Let's go in and talk."

Mrs. Song, however, had gone through some personnel matters. She thought that it was probably because of the moisture of the emperor's rain and dew that her daughter became so graceful and graceful. This was good. Otherwise, with her previous thin, timid and cold figure, Ms. Song doubted that her daughter would be able to survive.

Give birth to a child successfully.

She was ashamed to hear these words, so Ms. Song didn't ask too many questions. She only warned her about some maintenance matters during pregnancy, such as how to eat and drink, how to exercise, especially during sexual intercourse, and remember not to do it too frequently.

Xia Tong blushed with embarrassment, "Your Majesty was afraid of hurting me, so he never acted rashly..."

Mrs. Song smiled and said: "There is no need to be so cautious. If the fetal image is stable, proper sexual intercourse will actually help to cheer up the mood."

Xia Tong didn't expect to hear this from her mother. For a moment, she had a subtle delusion that ruined her three views - it seemed that all mothers had been guarding their daughters since they were young, for fear that if she had more understanding of men, her daughter would unexpectedly get married.

Became more magnanimous.

But she still retains the mentality of a little girl, which makes her a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the Song family said nothing more, thinking that this was the emperor's first child after he ascended the throne, so the two of them should be more cautious. As for courting, they were not in a hurry anyway.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Xia Tong asked about topics at home. She had knocked her eldest aunt and second aunt on a bamboo pole before. They had nothing to say at the time and wondered if they had any grudge behind their backs.

Mrs. Song waved her hands and muttered: "Don't mention it. They were going to come together when we entered the palace this time. I told you that you were pregnant just now and it would be too lively for you. So I reluctantly persuaded them to stay.

You still refuse to give up and plan to ask me to bring your two sisters over!"

Of course, this is not talking about Xia Yu, the Song family's biological child, but the other two concubine sisters of the eldest brother's second wife.

Xia Tong exclaimed: "What are they here for?"

Mrs. Song sneered, "I just saw that you were living a smooth life in the palace, so I wanted to follow your example."

Xia Tong's views were really shattered this time. If she remembered correctly, one of the two sisters was less than thirteen, and the other had just turned twelve. The second bedroom of the first and second bedrooms was really ruthless!

Fortunately, Mrs. Song was a sensible person and did not bring the two of them seriously. Otherwise, by sending such a young girl to the palace to compete for favor, the Yunyang House would probably become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

Of course, the Song family didn't want anyone to share the favor with their daughter. It's not that she couldn't keep a man with her old age. Tongtong was in her prime. As long as the emperor liked it, why bother pretending to be virtuous? She would end up like this.

The consequences of being jealous.

Even if you really consolidate your position, you won't feel good in your heart.

As a woman, Mrs. Song naturally understands the suffering of women. She held Xia Tong's hand and sighed: "Mother, I don't ask you to be successful in the palace. I only ask you to take good care of yourself and not suffer any loss or anger. As for the future of the family,

That's something the men worry about, and it shouldn't be your responsibility. Mom already owes you enough."

The Song family still regrets not agreeing to Xia Tong's marriage to Cheng Yao. She also saw that Xia Yu was still young and had an indifferent personality, and sending her to the palace was tantamount to seeking death, so she reluctantly abandoned her eldest daughter.

Fortunately, now that Xia Tong is doing well, Mrs. Song feels somewhat comforted.

Xia Tong thought that it was a good thing that she entered the palace, and she would suffer if she really married Cheng Yao. She hugged her mother's shoulders and advised: "Don't mention the past. Cousin Cheng has won the title of Chan Palace and will have his own future in the future."

, my daughter is already a concubine in the palace, from now on the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return, and everyone will be well."

Mrs. Song took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Even so, I still feel that I can't forgive him, and I can't forgive you either..."

Xia Tong does not blame Mrs. Song for not knowing people well, but blames Cheng Yao for pretending so well that Mrs. Song still speaks for him to this day.

Strictly speaking, the two families are not close by blood. The Song family's parents died early and went to live with their cousin Cheng's family since they were young. They are also Cheng Yao's grandfather. The two families know each other well and are considered to be well-connected, even if the Song family

Later, when I got married, I still kept in touch with him.

Cheng Yao was so sweet when he hit Xiaosheng that the whole Xia family was almost coaxed into running around by him. Even the two mean eldest and second ladies smiled brightly when they saw him and screamed like they were heartbroken. Xia Tong was also displeased at first.

I admire this cousin very much and think he is very intelligent and knowledgeable, a true genius sent from heaven.

It was not until Cheng Yao recited the poem that would be familiar to later generations that Xia Tong was shocked to realize that this man was just like himself, and even had more ulterior secrets.

From then on, she gradually became estranged, but Cheng Yao seemed to have taken ecstasy, always stalking her.

Cheng Yao's shadow.

Mrs. Song sighed: "Although this child is good, he is a bit too real-minded. He just wants to win the prize, but he wants to cause such a scene in the Jinluan Palace. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not blame him."

Although the Song family occasionally has a romantic nature, she is still very traditional in this matter. A good girl does not marry two men, and a good horse does not deserve two saddles. Xia Tong has already entered the palace, and she is the emperor's woman. She will marry Cheng Yao after leaving the palace.

What's going on? I'm not afraid of making people laugh.

This also allowed Xia Tong to find a breakthrough. She took her mother's sleeve and said earnestly: "Mom, cousin Cheng is already quite old and it's time for him to start a family. Why don't you take the lead in finding a decent marriage for him?

As long as both parties are compatible, I think His Majesty will be very willing to grant the marriage."

At Song's age, she is most passionate about matchmaking and matchmaking. She immediately became interested, "That's good. If he has a family, he will naturally not be able to affect your relationship with His Majesty. I think this is a way."

This is what Xia Tong thinks. Cheng Yao is too mysterious. Xia Tong still can't guess whether he is born with extraordinary memory or if there is another golden finger behind his back to help him cheat. Now that he has entered the palace, it is not appropriate to meet his foreign husband.

There is no way to find out the truth.

Since it couldn't be completely solved, she had to try her best to avoid suspicion and prevent Cheng Yao from interfering with her normal life. The best way Xia Tong could think of was to get married.

Of course, in order to prevent innocent girls from being implicated, this wedding must be subject to the consent of both parties, so Xia Tong asked her mother to take care of it on her behalf.

Mrs. Song nodded, "That's good. You have a destination for each other. Naturally, no one will mention those gossips in the future, and it won't hurt the feelings of the two families."

Xia Tong thought to herself that if she were alone, she would have kicked Cheng Yao to the Arctic Ocean a long time ago, and she would not care about kindness. But it was also because Cheng Yao's superficial project was done so well that for the sake of all the aristocratic families in Beijing

The harmony between them can only be solved in a roundabout way.

While the two were discussing, Aunt Ping came to report, "Linzhi Palace has come to send congratulatory gifts."

Mrs. Song stood up hurriedly, "The Imperial Concubine is so kind, it seems I have to go over and say hello."

Xia Tong was a little worried, "She won't make things difficult for you, right?"

"She is a noble concubine. Why should she have trouble getting along with me, a commoner woman? Isn't that lowering her status?" Mrs. Song didn't seem to take it to heart. "You have a good rest. Mother will come when she goes."

Xia Tong knew Jiang Bilan's temper very well, and it was a very easy-going temper. He was afraid that she would be unkind to Mrs. Song. When he wanted to persuade her deeply, she didn't know that Mrs. Song had already left with the visitor.

Xia Tong had no choice but to wait in the hall anxiously.

Fortunately, Mrs. Song came back in less than a cup of tea, looking quite happy on her face.

Xia Tong looked at her carefully, "Mom, has your concubine made you angry?"

"No, the empress treated me very well, and she even gave me a black fox fur cloak." Mrs. Song said with a radiant face, pointing to the big box beside her.

Xia Tong probed: "She didn't say anything else?"

This is not like Jiang Bilan’s style!

Mrs. Song happily put on her big cloak, "I only heard that the top is not upright, the bottom is uneven, and those without virtue cannot be teachers. I haven't read many books, so I don't really understand."

Xia Tong:……

This is to scold you for not having the upper beam straight and the lower beam crooked. The old fox has given birth to a little vixen!

But it's okay, even if you curse someone, you have to understand it to be lethal. Jiang Bilan collected these famous quotes in vain, but the result was a punch on the cotton. I'm afraid she was very angry, otherwise she wouldn't let go so quickly.

The Song family is back.
