Chapter 235: Summoned (1)
The summoning of Saitama by the noble concubine surprised the entire Guogong Mansion, because it was always the Lian clan who entered the palace to meet the noble concubine. This is not because of how good her relationship with the concubine is, but because she doesn't want others to get closer to the concubine.
So when he heard the news, Lian was very angry, and secretly slandered the noble concubine, and when he saw Saitama by the way, he inevitably said a few sarcastic words. Saitama didn't care either, because during this time she sent someone to keep an eye on Lian, and found that Lian often went back to her parents' house when she left the house, and her sister-in-law often visited her home. As for what Lian did Saitama, it was not clear, but she felt that Lian would never be so simple because she missed her mother's family and came back so often.
It was only a matter of time before Lian handed over the stewardship, so at this time, Lian's few words could not cause much trouble to Saitama. But she was also a little confused about the call of the concubine, and she didn't know why the concubine, who had only met once or twice, wanted to let her enter the palace.
Early in the morning, Saitama put on Mrs. Yipin's court clothes, and the heavy crown on her head weighed her neck a little sore, but there was no way to rule and etiquette. Fortunately, she is now in good health, otherwise this dress alone would have been enough for her.
Li Yi sent his wife to the gate of the palace, and he couldn't guess what his aunt meant, so he could only tell Saitama to deal with it carefully, and not to be impulsive if he ran into a concubine. Saitama agreed one by one, and Li Yi asked people to report to the Praetorian Guards at the gate and send his wife into the palace. He watched his wife's back disappear into the red wall with anxiety, and then got into the carriage and waited for his wife to leave the palace.
Saitama shuttled through the palace walls with her father-in-law in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart. This splendid palace looks so glamorous on the outside, but inside it doesn't know how many shady conspiracies and calculations are hidden. Although Qi Jiao was not a soft-hearted person, if she didn't enter the palace, she probably wouldn't have treated human life like a mustard like this, and viciously harmed Brother Tong'er to take revenge on herself.
Soon arrived at the door, and Xiuyun beside the concubine was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw Saitama called "Mrs. Shiko", he had to make a big salute. Although Saitama didn't grow up in the palace, she also knew that this Xiuyun had grown up with the noble concubine since she was a child. Although she is just a slave in name, she is actually like a sister.
"Sister Xiuyun, don't be polite. Saitama said and held Xiuyun with both hands, and Xiuyun didn't really want to bow down, so he also took advantage of the situation. Walk sideways in front of Saitama.
Entering the main hall, Saitama saw that the noble concubine was not inside, and Xiuyun explained:
"The concubine was not in the main hall when she saw her family, and she should be in the east hall where she usually lives. Saitama knew that Xiuyun was revealing to herself that the concubine did not treat her as an outsider, which clearly meant to mention something. Of course, she would not be indifferent, but nodded at Xiuyun with a smile gratefully.
Xiuyun walked to the door, asked Saitama to wait at the door for a while, and went in to pass the ceremony, and after a while, a little palace maid with a round face came out and saluted Saitama and said:
"Niangniang summoned Mrs. Shizi to meet her. ”
Saitama followed the little maid inside, and saw the noble concubine leaning against a soft couch. The little palace maid on the side was beating her back. Seeing Saitama coming, the noble concubine asked the little palace maid to go down. Saitama stepped forward to make a big salute, but was stopped by the noble concubine,
"No, there's no outsider here. Don't be so angry. ”
"Then how can it be done, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, not to mention that you are an elder. Saitama refused, but still knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and the noble concubine smiled and didn't say anything, so she gave her a seat. Xiuyun asked the little palace maids to serve tea and snacks, and then covered the door and went out.
"Brother Tong'er's matter, I also heard about it, but it's a pity that our Li family finally has this lone seedling......" Although it took so long, Saitama heard the words of the noble concubine. Still gloomy.
"This matter is said to be a natural disaster, and it is also **. The noble concubine's words surprised Saitama,
"What do you mean?" Saitama still looked puzzled.
"I don't believe you don't know. There was a mocking smile on the corner of the concubine's lips.
"This ......" Saitama was apprehensive, not knowing whether to take this or not.
"You don't have to. Since I have called you here, I naturally understand the joints, so why do you need to do this? Speaking of which, the origin of this matter is still inseparable from your eldest aunt, and although your mother-in-law also has selfish intentions, she would not have known the concubine without your aunt's recommendation. Naturally, this will not happen. ”
"It's just that Brother Tong'er's life is not good. Saitama was skeptical of the noble concubine's words, and she didn't dare to take it lightly.
"If that's what you think. I'm mistaken for you. The noble concubine looked at Saitama meaningfully.
"Although Xianggong has the name of the prince, in fact, he is just a false name with a fortune, how can we shake her noble status?" After Saitama said this, she felt that the clothes behind her were wet, and she really didn't understand what the noble concubine meant by pressing so step by step.
"I didn't look away. I'll tell you the truth. Last time, your aunt and your mother-in-law came to me and told me that you were better, and I believed it. Who knew that the concubine later fooled these two people to attract such a disaster. Your sister was elected to the East Palace back then, and she was favored by the prince, so she is not an ordinary character. At that time, your mother-in-law said that you were all bad, and I thought you were the same as her. Later, I tasted it, and I felt that it might not be like this, so I sent someone to inquire about it, and only then did I know the whole story. I thought that if the Lian family continued to make trouble like this, our Li family would be in danger, so I summoned you to the palace. The concubine said this long passage, her mouth was also a little dry, she took a sip of tea, moistened her throat and continued:
"Originally, I didn't want to care about those backhouse battles, but when it came to the safety of the Li family, I couldn't help but intervene. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Saitama.
"The stewardship of your Li family can no longer be handed over to the Lian family. Saitama listened to the words of the noble concubine, and was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't expect that the noble concubine and herself were in the same mind.
"But the eldest aunt has been in charge of the family for many years, and there is nothing wrong with it, how can the concubine be a junior ......?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, I heard that Lian's sister-in-law often comes to your house, don't you know?"
"I went a lot, but it's not easy to study the correspondence between relatives. Saitama said softly, and the noble concubine knew that she was also suspicious of the Renji after listening to Saitama's words.
"I heard that Pingyang Hou has four sons and two daughters, and the sons are not very competitive. Especially when I entered Beijing, I am afraid that the cost will be greater. Even if it is relief between relatives, there should be a degree, don't let people empty all the furniture and not know it. ”
Saitama listened to the words of the noble concubine, and suddenly realized in her heart that the noble concubine was asking the Lian family to hand over the housekeeper power in this matter, and she was still hesitant, but now with her support, it is expected that the Lian family has nothing to say.
