Chapter 55: The Fourth Sister-in-law
Not long after returning to the main hall, a palace maid came in to report: "Return to Niangniang, Sifu has arrived!"
"Call her in. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Although Concubine De doesn't like her son very much, her daughter-in-law was chosen by herself, not to mention that the Ulanala clan has always been gentle and virtuous, and she is also respectful and filial to her, so Concubine De still likes her more."
Soon, a young woman entered the main hall under the guidance of the palace maid. Dressed in a bright red palace dress, he looks graceful and graceful when walking, with a high bun and emerald brilliance, but between his eyebrows he looks quiet and elegant. Just from her appearance, you can see that she is a gentle and elegant woman.
"The emperor's mother is auspicious!" the Sifu Jin Wulanala clan saluted Concubine De.
"Get up, come and see my grandmother, my aunt, and my sisters. Concubine De beckoned her to come closer.
"I've seen my grandmother. My aunt is well, my sister is well!" Ying Qi and Bao Bai also hurriedly returned the salute.
"The two younger sisters are really handsome and pretty. The Ulanala clan took the hands of Bao Bai Yingqi and handed over a small greeting gift one by one.
"Thank you, cousin-in-law!" Ying Qi walked to the side of the Ulanala clan and pulled the sleeve of the Ulanala clan, looking familiar and intimate. "I've heard for a long time that my cousin-in-law is beautiful, generous and gentle, but when I see it today, it's true, I feel like my own sister. ”
"You little girl is sweet-mouthed. Concubine De smiled. "Then you like your cousin?"
"Of course, it's all my aunt and grandmother who have a vision, how can I choose such a beautiful and virtuous cousin for my cousin. is like a fairy, pinching her fingers, you know that the obedient Qi girl will like this cousin in the future. Ying Qi smiled sweetly.
"Ouch, you clever mouth, it's really embarrassing for you, you're going to fall into the honey pot. Okay, okay, let your cousin take you to play. Concubine De was overjoyed by Ying Qi's words, and turned to the Wulanala clan and said, "Baozhu, since Sister Qi likes you, you will be responsible for taking the two younger sisters with you today." Especially Qi Mei'er is still young after all, so you have to pay more attention to safety, you know?"
"Yes, Huang Eniang. Wulanala Baozhu nodded in agreement, and her eyebrows and eyes were also happy, after all, before entering the palace, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen had already told her, and she was naturally more relieved to be able to take Yingqi with her so smoothly.
"All right, let's go to the back garden for a while, and the princesses won't come until after lunch. ”
"Yes. The Ulanara Orb bowed slightly, and Bao Bai also saluted.
Only Ying Qi waved her hand there, "Auntie, grandmother, aunt, let's go play!"
"Go, go, go!" everyone laughed.
The three of them didn't go away, but just sat leisurely on the verandah in the back garden, after all, guests could come by at any time.
"Generally, His Majesty will come over in the morning, and after lunch, the ladies and princesses will come over one after another. A little later is the guest of congratulations. Your cousins are already waiting in the outer hall. "By the way, the Ulanara Orb popularized the guests of the two of them on their birthdays.
"Sister Qi. Baozhu looked a little solemn, and Ying Qi hurriedly sat and looked at her.
"Fourth sister-in-law, please speak. ”
"Today, I heard that Lord Niu Co Lu Ah Linga will bring his concubine Niu Co Lu Qingshu to congratulate him. Originally, the concubine was not qualified to come, but Niu Colu Qingshu had a very good relationship with the twelve princesses, so the twelve princesses specially invited her, and it was difficult for the mother to say anything. I guess it's because I heard about you, and I have to rely on the twelve princesses to support her. There are very few princesses of Huang Ama, so they are all very favored, especially this twelve princesses, with exquisite personalities and heroic postures, they are only ten years old this year, and they are particularly good at riding and archery, so they are deeply favored by Huang Ama. The jewel explained in detail.
"Got it, fourth sister-in-law, I'll pay special attention to it. Ying Qi nodded.
"Later, the ninth princess, the tenth princess and the eleventh princess should all come with the girls. The eldest princess, Princess Gulun Rongxian, was born to Concubine Rong, and had the same mother as the third elder brother and the tenth elder brother, and was already married to Urgon of the Borzigit clan of the Bahrain Department; the second princess, Princess Heshuo Duanjing, was also married to Garzang, the second son of the King of Duling of the Karaqin Tribe; the third princess and Princess Shuogulun, the nineteenth elder brother of the same mother, married to the Khalkha prince of the Borzigit clan Dundob Dorji; the eighth princess and Princess Shuo Wenxian, who is the sister-in-law of your fourth cousin, married to Shun Anyan of the Tong clan. Because she is pregnant now, she will not enter the palace until later. The ninth princess, Zhen Ning, is nineteen years old, with a soft and generous personality; the tenth princess, Mingyue, gentle Erya, the twelfth princess, Ming Rui, lively and lovely, the eldest princess of Jingmin, the thirteenth elder brother's sister, and we have a good relationship; the eleventh princess, Qianya, the eldest daughter of Yuan Guiren, is now fifteen years old, smart and bright; the twelfth princess, Saren, the princess, is hot and spicy, and has an excellent relationship with Qingshu. ”
"Wow, there are so many princesses!" Baozhu introduced all the princesses to Ying Qi in one breath, pausing slightly, Ying Qi sighed, feeling that she sounded a little dizzy.
"Where are there many princesses, in fact, there are eight princesses, nine princesses, ten princesses, eleven princesses, and twelve princesses, only five. Baozhu smiled slightly. "I'm just going to introduce you to all the princesses by the way. So you have a general idea. ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law, you're so nice. Ying Qi shook Baozhu's arm, innocent.
"Well, being idle is also idle, I'll tell you about my buddies. The crown prince was bred by the queen and was deeply spoiled by His Majesty; the eldest brother was raised by Concubine Hui, the third elder brother, raised by Concubine Rong, and loved literature and science; the fourth elder brother is your fourth cousin; the fifth elder brother, raised by Concubine Yi; the seventh elder brother, raised by Concubine Cheng; the eighth elder brother, bred by Concubine Liang; the ninth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were the same mother, and was raised by Concubine Yi; the tenth elder brother, raised by Emperor Jingmin; the twelfth elder brother, raised by Aunt Su Malagu; the thirteenth elder brother, raised by Concubine Min, but it was indeed brought up by the emperor's mother, and the relationship with your fourth cousin is the best; the fourteenth elder brother, that is, the younger brother of your fourth elder brother; and the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother, bred by Wang Guiren, and the seventeenth elder brother, bred by Chen Changzai. Today, most of the elder brothers should come over, and a few elder brothers are out to handle political affairs, and they can't come. ”
"Uh-huh. Ying Qi nodded as she listened. In fact, some of the information I have learned through the secret guards, but one is idle, and the other is not to live up to the kindness of others. And although it is said that the information is understood, after all, there is no personal contact, hearsay, or wait for the orb to be introduced one by one, and you can only really understand it by looking closely.
As for Wuya Baobai, he has long understood this, and most of the princesses and elder brothers have still taken pictures.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what posture do you think I should maintain when facing them?" On his side, this will be the queen's material in the future, what kind of messy harem battles, and the current inner palace battles, should be well understood.
"After all, you are the duke's concubine, and Lord Niu Colu will definitely not treat you badly on the surface. But you haven't been by his side for so many years, so you should be more estranged from you. When I saw Lord Niu Colu, I wanted to express my admiration for my relatives and miss my mother, and I wanted to arouse his feelings of guilt. As for your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, you must be noble and courteous on the surface. You are the concubine, and now you are the most noble in the inner house. But also be polite to them, so that you can win more and more favor outside. But in private, you have to guard against them. They must regard you as the most powerful opponent and give you a look in front of your Amma, if you Amma is not there, I don't know how they will ignore you and toss you in private. But don't be afraid, the emperor has arranged for two grandmothers and four big girls to accompany you. Your fourth brother will also arrange someone to take care of you privately. After you gain a foothold in the house, you will slowly find their flaws, and if you are not good for Amma, I will also privately arrange someone to collect them for you, and then take them down in one fell swoop. So you have to wait for the right time before that. Do you understand?"
Bo Zhu Chun taught her. Since Yinzhen went back to talk to her in the middle of the night yesterday, she understood that this cousin was the person she wanted to put her heart into. But whether it's worth it or not, we have to take our time to see her own performance.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I know. Ying Qi nodded.
"I heard that your sister-in-law was pampered by her mother and ran rampant in the house. has a good relationship with the twelve princesses, relying on the twelve princesses, except for the princes and princesses outside, basically few people can enter her eyes. I have participated in several noble women's parties, and they are all arrogant and unreasonable evaluations. But it's still very polite in front of the elders. Anyway, it's a little clever. ”
"Well, I know what to do with her. Ying Qi nodded.
"For the grandmother and the big girl that the emperor gave to you, they are there to support you, and everything is for you. You have to listen to their opinions, but they are all proud of you, so there must be something beyond you, and you can always return them to the emperor. Once returned, they will definitely be disliked. So it was given to you, and you are their master. They will never betray you. But privately, you also have to beware of them being bribed by others. As soon as you find out that something is wrong, you will immediately send a letter to me and my fourth brother. ”
"Got it. Thank you, sister-in-law, you are still the best for me. Ying Qi raised her little face and smiled in the sun. Let Baozhu be in a trance for a moment, such a splendid girl, a girl who has never been in contact with the shadows, can survive in the palace and noble mansion.
But think about what the fourth elder brother said to himself, he should pay enough attention to this cousin, and even, he should carefully observe her words and deeds, especially his performance after returning to the Duke's Palace this time, he should understand this cousin accurately from all aspects, maybe she is not so simple.
