Murong Bai walked up to Murong Jingli, stared at her, and said coldly: "Is this what you mean, or is it what your eldest sister means?" Murong Jingli lowered her head and whispered: "It was my daughter who didn't understand, so she came to ask her father." Although Murong Bai didn't believe her words, he looked at her fearlessness, and he thought that he had thought about it for a long time before asking, or rather, this was the reason why she came to provoke with Ning Yu today. Murong Jingli saw that Murong Bai was just thinking but didn't answer, and couldn't help but sneer at Murong Qingxue. Xindao, it seems that I didn't guess wrong, Daddy was just impulsive.

Murong Bai looked around at the people in the courtyard, and finally locked on to Murong Jingli: "If you have to know, then I will sue you." Come on, inform everyone, assemble in the hall, I have something to announce. "Lai An is the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and when he heard Murong Bai's order, he immediately went to handle it.

In a quarter of an hour, everyone gathered in the hall. Murong Bai was just about to speak, but when he saw Lai An running quickly, his expression was hurried. Murong Bai hated the people in the house who were in a hurry, this was an unsafe expression, and he was displeased at the moment, and said to Lai'an: "What is the matter so flustered?

Lai An hurriedly knelt down and said to Murong Bai: "Master forgive me, the villain is so panicked because Gonggong Li in the palace came to deliver the decree. The villain was afraid that he would delay the big event, so he hurried to report the news. ”

As soon as this matter was said, Murong Bai also became nervous, and hurriedly walked to the door and led Gonggong Li to the hall to take a seat.

Gonggong Li's name is Li De, and he is a close person of Emperor Dongfang, and the decree he wants to pass on must be very important, so Murong Bai is so solemn and goes to greet him in person.

"Gonggong Li, I came to the mansion today, I don't know what is the big deal?" Murong Bai hurriedly asked. Li De said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, the Holy Lord sent me over this time, mainly to convey the message." Li De looked around the hall as he spoke, and said, "It seems that our family came at the right time, and the general's mansion is full of people." Murong Bai hurriedly smiled.

"General, how many daughters do you have?" Li De was not busy reading out the emperor's dictation, but asked such an unbounded sentence, which made Murong Bai scratch his head, but he still answered truthfully: "Father-in-law, I have a total of four daughters, Qingyi, Qingxue, Ning Yu and Jingli. Murong Bai said and pointed to Li De one by one. Li De followed Murong Bai's gesture and looked at them one by one, except for Murong Jingli's hair covering his face, which was not very clear, and Li De nodded again and again, and couldn't help but say: "The daughters born to the general are like flowers and jade, and they will have a blessing." ”

Murong Bai was confused, so he said, "Please also ask your father-in-law to make it clear." Li De didn't say it clearly, but only said: "The general will have a blessing, now our family wants to read out the emperor's edict, please accept the decree!"

All the members of the General's Mansion knelt down, and Li De read out the edict: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that on the 20th of this month, a Spring Festival dinner will be held in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.

After the holy decree was read, Murong Bai quietly stuffed a stack of silver tickets to Li De, and said with a smile: "Please accept this tea money." A smile appeared on Li De's face, and he said again and again: "The general is polite." Worthy of it, worthy of it. ”

Murong Bai said with a smile: "My father-in-law serves the emperor, works hard, and has to go to various mansions to deliver the decree, how can I be ashamed of it?

Li De looked around and asked with a little meaning, "The general really doesn't understand?"

Murong Bai was confused: "Please also ask your father-in-law to make it clear." ”

Li De cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "The general must know that there are three princes in the emperor today, and none of them have yet married concubines. As the years come to pass, they have all been crowned kings, so the choice of the princess has become a top priority. The emperor and the queen want to take this opportunity to choose concubines for the three princes. Our family saw the four young ladies in the house today, all of them are sinking fish and geese, and the moon is shy of flowers, no matter who is selected, or no matter who becomes the concubine of which prince, it is all glorious, isn't the general blessed?"

Murong Bai woke up like a dream, and finally understood why Li De asked him that question before announcing the decree. Greeted Li De with a smile at the moment.

Seeing Li De away, Murong Bai sat on the main seat of the hall, and after looking around, he cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Today, I have two things to announce. The first thing, that is, what Gonggong Li announced just now, is that on the twentieth of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow, the emperor will hold a Spring Festival dinner in the imperial garden, and the ladies of the palace can enter the palace with me. Hearing the news, Murong Bai's wife and daughter both showed joy in their eyes, but only Murong Qingyi and Murong Qingxue were calm and did not show much joy, but waited for Murong Bai to say the following. Murong Bai saw that these two daughters were not impetuous, and secretly appreciated it in his heart.

"The significance of this Spring Festival dinner is very important, so you should all be cautious. Murong Bai said.

"Daddy, how is this Spring Festival dinner different from the previous ones?" asked Murong Qingyi. As the concubine of the General's Mansion, Murong Qingyi has participated in the Spring Festival Gala several times, but this time her father made a solemn announcement, which made her wonder.

Murong Bai admired this daughter's intelligence very much, and did not hide it: "The reason why this Spring Festival dinner will be different from the previous one is because this time, the three princes will participate. Moreover, the emperor and the queen mother intend to choose the right person to marry the three princes. ”

The news exploded in the house, and everyone was overjoyed.

Jiang looked at his beautiful daughter, and had a bottom in his heart, and Murong Qingyi's face also appeared shy, he had long heard of the names of the three princes, but he had never had the opportunity to see them, and this Spring Festival dinner must be a good expression. Murong Qingxue was very calm, after all, this was another challenge for her, or rather, it was one step closer to her revenge. However, although she can get a little love from Murong Bai now, after all, she is a concubine, and she can only watch from a distance at the dinner, and when she thinks of this, she feels a little lost.

Murong Ningyu and Murong Jingli are also very happy, for them, it must be a great blessing if they can be selected, even if they can't be selected, it's always good to look at them from afar. After all, this kind of banquet is not something they can participate in in this kind of capacity, and all this kind of opportunity in the past was Murong Qingyi. Although the two of them always breathe out of the same nostril with Murong Qingyi, as women, they are never lacking in jealousy. Looking at Murong Qingyi's expression of victory, Murong Jingli and Murong Ningyu actually felt that she was even worse than that Murong Qingxue.

"Master, what's the second thing?" Since the Jiang clan was reprimanded last time, they had not received Murong Bai's good face, so they flattered him everywhere.

The Spring Festival dinner was about to begin, and Murong Bai was still counting on Murong Qingyi to win the championship in one fell swoop, so he softened Jiang's face a little. If Jiang received amnesty, he was overjoyed.

"This second thing is that I have decided to raise the third lady to be a flat wife!" As soon as this sentence was finished, it caused a sensation in the crowd. Similarly, the Liu family and Murong Qingxue were also shocked.

Liu's eyes were full of tears, as if he couldn't believe it: "Master, you, what you said is true?"

Even Murong Qingxue found it unbelievable. I was still thinking about it just now, and I could only watch from afar with my identity as a concubine, but I didn't expect this happiness to come so suddenly. If the mother becomes a flat wife, she is naturally a concubine, and she is naturally qualified to participate in this Spring Festival dinner openly.

The Jiang family's eyes were full of resentment, and so was Murong Qingyi, they stared at the Liu family and Murong Qingxue, eager to eat them raw.

The second lady Xie Lanxi and the fourth lady Wu Yiru were also shocked and couldn't believe the news. After all, the Liu family has been silent for more than ten years, and this sudden lifting of the ban will become a flat wife, which no one can accept. But seeing Murong Bai's affirmative eyes, no amount of resentment could only remain in his heart.

Murong Qingxue didn't care about everyone's eyes, she also looked at Murong Bai with tears in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it. Murong Bai looked at the Liu clan and Murong Qingxue's incredulous expressions, and then took their hands and confirmed to them that this was true.

The Liu family and Murong Qingxue knelt down and kowtowed to Murong Bai to thank him, and Murong Bai reached out to help them up.

"Yanran, you will be my equal wife in the future, and you will be equal to the new moon. Qingxue is the same as Qingyi, they are both concubines, and all the food and clothing are based on the same standard, so you will not be wronged. Murong Bai said as he looked at Murong Jingli and Wu Yiru.

Wu Yiru saw Murong Jingli's face with blood-red palm prints in the hall, and he was still wondering what was going on, but now when he saw Murong Bai's sharp eyes, he immediately understood. This revenge is not a gentleman, she said hatefully in her heart.

Of course, Murong Bai knew what kind of uproar his decision would cause in the mansion, so he added: "If you dare to insult or provoke your wife and daughter-in-law, you will be dealt with by family law." As soon as these words came out, there was no movement in the crowd. Murong Qingxue looked at Murong Bai with mixed feelings in her heart. Is this his father? Why didn't she have any pity for her in her previous life, and put Murong Qingyi first in everything, but this sudden love in this life made her unable to adapt. Murong Qingxue, you are too easy to be moved after all.

Since her mother was promoted to a flat wife and she became a concubine, everyone in the house has been polite to her, and even Xinyun's status is different. In the past, she was asked to do any dirty work and tiring work, especially Murong Qingyi's maid Xinyan, who bullied her everywhere. Now that the third lady has become a flat wife, the third lady has become a concubine, and her personal maid is also respectfully called "Sister Xinyun", and she is no longer inferior everywhere, which makes Xinyun's life a lot smoother.

"Miss, tomorrow is the Spring Festival dinner, have you picked out your clothes?" Xinyun asked as she looked at Murong Qingxue. Murong Qingxue said with a smile: "You can help me pick out one of the clothes in the cabinet, if you bother too much on the clothes, it will give people the feeling of deliberate carving." ”

Xinyun felt reasonable, so according to Murong Qingxue's cold temperament, she picked out a set of lake-green clothes for her. Although the division has been adjusted, there are a lot of hair ornaments for the young lady, but Xinyun feels that the hair ornaments on her head are not very complicated, so she only chose a golden hairpin and a pearl hairpin made of three white pearls. Murong Qingxue watched Xinyun's selection from the side, and secretly admired her eyes for being exactly what she thought in her heart.

One qiē ready, just waiting for tomorrow.
