Chapter Seventy-Five: Public Opinion in the Harem
The news that Feng Shanyue was about to be crowned a princess by the lord of the country soon spread to the harem. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The lord of the country sent the close attendant Xiao to the queen's palace, and sent a decree to the queen to prepare the best palace room and the palace maid to serve Feng Shanyue. It just so happened that Concubine Wen Yu was bringing Princess Yayue to greet the queen, and she also heard the will of the lord. After Manager Xiao left, the queen had not spoken, and Princess Yayue was not happy at first.
"What is this phoenix moon thing? Isn't she a witch? How did you become the princess of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom?" she said angrily, tearing the silk handkerchief in her hand.
Concubine Wen Yu glanced at her warningly, "Yayue, be cautious! The queen is here, you must not be presumptuous!"
Princess Yayue was originally the first princess of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, she was born beautiful and moving, her mouth was sweet, and she often flattered and flattered in front of the queen. The queen didn't have a daughter, so she was quite fond of her. Therefore, Yayue did not restrain herself because of her mother's warning,
She pouted and said, "My daughter just feels wronged, why did the daughter of a country girl become the first princess of the Fire Phoenix Country like this? You see how much my father likes her, he is so good to her, and he asked the queen to prepare the best palace for her! Even I don't have my own palace!"
The queen smiled and said, "Yes! Speaking of which, this princess Shanyue is really very much loved by your father! According to the rules, the princess is under the age of thirteen, and she cannot have her own independent palace, but just now you also heard the word from Chief Manager Xiao asking me to decorate her palace well! It is no wonder that Yayue is jealous. ”
"Oh, Queen Mother, Yayue doesn't understand the rules and talks nonsense, don't get used to her!" Concubine Wen Yu hurriedly said, looking sincerely frightened.
The queen waved her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Wen Yu, you are also the one who gave birth to a prince and a princess, why are you still so careful all the time? Not to mention that Yayue is my beloved child, just with the background of this princess Shanyue, the lord of the country is indeed too generous to her!"
"Presumably, the lord of the country also loves his daughter, he has always been very good to several children, not to mention that this princess Shanyue has suffered so much in the people, and it is also appropriate to be kind to her. Concubine Wen Yu lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
When the queen heard this, she shook her head secretly, this Wen Yu and Ruyi are both concubines, and she also gave birth to a son and a daughter, but she always speaks submissively and without rigidity. Unlike Concubine Ruyi, since giving birth to the little prince, the etiquette in front of her has not been diligent enough. For example, today, Concubine Wen Yu brought her daughter to greet her early in the morning, but Concubine Ruyi sent someone to come later under the pretext of taking care of the little prince. The queen snorted coldly in her heart, but she was just a swaddling baby, and she loved and protected her like a jewel, and she didn't know if she could grow up!
At this time, a voice came from outside the palace gate: "The queen mother and Sister Wen Yu are talking about the witch Feng Shanyue who is about to be crowned princess, right?"
The queen smiled at Concubine Wen Yu and said, "Before anyone hears the sound, our lark is here!"
Concubine Chun walked from the door with a smile on her face, followed by her daughter, Yarong, the second princess of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. The mother and daughter saluted the queen and Concubine Wen Yu, "Say hello to the queen's mother!
"Sister is exempt! Sit down!" the princess hurriedly asked Concubine Chun to serve tea.
According to the ancestral system of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, the lord of the country can have one queen, three concubines, six concubines, and nine concubines, and there is no limit to wives and female envoys. However, the current lord of the country is not too concerned about women, and there are not enough concubines, concubines, and concubines. This concubine Chun is one of the four concubines, she is cheerful and joking, not only the lord likes her, but even the queen likes her to ask her to talk.
"We just said that this Sugizuki princess has also gotten the news?"
"Ouch, there is going to be one more princess in the palace, who doesn't know about this palace! Even our Yarong is curious about this new sister!" Concubine Chun smiled and glanced at her daughter.
Yarong looks beautiful and dresses relatively plainly. When she saw her mother making fun of herself in front of everyone, she immediately blushed, "Mother ......"
"Look at Yarong, this is what a princess should look like!" Concubine Wen Yu smiled, "That is, you are not serious, so you can joke about your daughter if you have nothing to do!"
"It's like a gourd all day long," Concubine Chun shook her head, "My daughter is really different from my mother!"
Princess Yarong stomped her feet, "I'm going to talk to my sister!" and then walked up to Yayue, and the two sisters hid behind and talked to each other.
The queen smiled: "The two sisters still have a good relationship, after all, they grew up together since childhood." It's good to support each other in the future!" "Most of the princesses' fate is to marry into other countries in exchange for political benefits for their own countries. The princesses support each other, which is also conducive to the alliance and mutual assistance between the in-laws in the future.
"That's nature!" replied Concubine Wen Yu.
Concubine Chun laughed playfully: "The two sisters don't have to worry, they just don't know what about that Princess Shanyue." I hope I don't cause trouble to the queen!"
"I obeyed the lord's command and took care of her with all my heart. If there is an excessive request, then she can only ask the lord of the country to mention it. "The queen has already decided what to do with Feng Shanyue, the new princess. Before she and Yu Linglong entered the palace together, it was when the lord of the country was in danger, and the queen naturally wanted to borrow the two of them to help the crown prince inherit the throne. But now that the lord of the country is fine, by the time the crown prince succeeds to the throne, Feng Shanyue has already been married, and it won't help the prince, so she doesn't bother to please her.
The news that Shanyue was going to enter the palace also spread to the Ruyi Palace, and the Ruyi concubine unexpectedly raised her thin eyebrows, "I didn't see that a rustic little girl has such a blessing!"
Jingyu, the personal maid, said in a low voice: "Niangniang, should we bring this Princess Shanyue over?"
Concubine Ruyi looked at her and said with a smile: "Do you still need to be wooed? She is Linglong's apprentice, so she is naturally from our Yu family's side." When she entered the palace, she should naturally support my son. ”
"Niangniang, everything is afraid of what happens! We are not sure if she will really be on our side! She is a folk woman, she has just entered the palace, she must be at a loss, if the queen or other concubines take the opportunity to woo her, then ......"
Concubine Ruyi frowned, "You're right! There is always a chance in everything, we have to be on guard." I heard that before entering the palace, the lord of the country arranged for her to live in the Yu family temporarily, you send a message out, let Linglong come into the palace to see me today, I have something important to discuss!"
"Yes, sis!"
