Chapter Twenty-Three: Adding People
In the afternoon of this day, following the Ying Mama brought back from the Queen Mother's palace to learn the rules of the morning, Shen Li, who was very tired, was woken up by someone when she was sleeping comfortably on the chaise longue in Chunjing Pavilion, "Concubine Niangniang, wake up, your grandmother is here!" ”
As soon as she opened her eyes, it was Xiao Tao's anxious eyes that entered the curtain, she couldn't help but be amused, and laughed at her while letting her sit up: "You are now from the prince's mansion, are you scared like this by an old woman of her!" ”
Xiao Tao was speechless, her small round face turned red, and she squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "The old lady came with Miss Five, saying that she was here to be your companion!" ”
Hearing this, Li'er's eyes narrowed fiercely, it seems that this family still hasn't learned this matter well this time, and this is in a hurry to find the door to find themselves unhappily!
"Dress me up, let the old lady wait in the living room"
The living room is a common place for guests in the prince's mansion, and now the mother asked the old lady to bring it there, and it is very uncomfortable to think about it.
Here Li'er let people dress up carefully, and the old lady who was taken to the living room over there was already waiting impatiently, and her face was even more ugly, I wanted to ask this Li'er why she didn't come out to greet her even though she knew she was coming, and opened her mouth to look at the butler of the Prince's Mansion who was standing on the other side without squinting, and finally took the words back, and Mama Chun, who was waiting on the side, looked at her master's appearance, and secretly scolded in her heart that this eldest lady was troublesome, and now the old lady was too old to come to the prince's mansion to be angry, but these three young ladies were also too much to see no one a little, No matter how much grievances she suffers, she shouldn't leave her grandmother here ugly, no matter how her daughter's family is favored in her husband's family, she will rely on her mother's family after all.
"The prince's side concubine has arrived!"
The little eunuch guarding outside sang, but the old lady was stunned, what does this Sister Li mean, such a posture is to make herself salute her!
Sure enough, her face was dark, and Sister Li was helped in a commandment suit, and she couldn't kneel now, she could only take the five girls Qiu Ling to kneel down and perform a big salute according to the palace rules, and Sister Li, who was helped to sit on the main seat, smiled secretly in her heart, and shouted in a hurry: "You bunch of slaves are really, although this is the prince's mansion and not the prime minister's mansion, but you can't let the old lady ask for peace to this mother like this, why don't you go and help the old lady up!" ”
The old lady who was helped to the side and sat down on the guest seat was also an old man, and the unhappiness on her face had long been put away, and she only looked at her three granddaughters lovingly and asked, "How are the side concubines living in the prince's mansion these days?" ”
Li'er lowered her head shyly and stirred the handkerchief in her hand with her hand: "Thank you for your concern, the prince treats me very well." ”
The old lady listened and gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded another goblin, but her face changed: "I didn't come here for anything else, just because after you entered the prince's mansion these days, the mansion has heard a lot of rumors, saying that you are pampered and arrogant, and there is no one in your eyes, but there is such a thing!" ”
Shen Li laughed when she heard this: "Since what the old lady heard is a rumor, she should know that the rumor is not credible, and this is the prince's mansion, not the prime minister's mansion, the eldest prince in the prince's mansion, and the emperor and queen mother above, I don't know in what capacity the old lady came to the prince's mansion today to say these words, is it possible that the prince is hurting, who still wants to listen to you?" This prince's mansion is what you say? ”
The old lady's eyes widened angrily when she heard this, "If you are from my prime minister's mansion, you have to listen to me, why not!" Rebel girl! Dare to talk back! ”
When the words fell, I saw a grandmother next to Sister Li stepping forward, "Bold Shen, you dare to talk to the mother in the prince's mansion, you can't really be deceived by the prince's mansion!" Don't slap your mouth yet! ”
After speaking, one of the first two grandmothers skillfully pressed her to her knees, and the other rolled up her sleeves and beat her down on the spot!
"How can my sister treat my grandmother like this!"
With a scream, Qiu Ling, the fifth girl who was following the old lady, pounced and blocked the old lady in front of the old lady and received the slap.
"If my sister is uncomfortable, let's beat Ling'er, as long as my sister can be angry, it's fine, but my grandmother is old, and she seems to be partial to you, you are now also the side concubine of the prince's mansion, how can you do such an unfaithful and unfilial thing, if the prince knows, it will be sad!"
Listening to the accusation of this fifth sister who was not very impressed, like a messenger of justice, Shen Li was in a much better mood, well, this Prime Minister's Mansion is really a place to produce talents, and this little feverfew is really good, especially now that this soft and weak but strong look is very few men will not be moved.
It's not like she looks like a bandit woman now.
Looking at Mingde, who was standing outside frowning and not walking in, he thought he had heard something and rushed over, and just as he was about to speak, he waved his hand slightly to himself, and explained to the maid at the door and turned around and left.
The maid crept in and whispered a few words in her ear, so that she couldn't help laughing out loud, and the old and young who were acting couldn't help but look at her with the eyes of a madman.
After laughing, she said to the maid: "Say what the prince just said again, and let the housekeeper hear it clearly, so that if something happens in the future, he will say that he doesn't know when he hits the knife!" ”
The maid hurriedly shouted to everyone in the house: "The prince has ordered, this is not a messy place in the prince's mansion, except for the queen mother, no cats and dogs are put in to bite people!" ”
After speaking, he looked at the pale face of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, coughed, and continued: "What the prince also said, the prince's side concubine is noble, not just casually everyone can see it, let alone anyone can say it, if you want to pour any dirty water on the mother, you also have to see if your identity is worthy!" Don't make a fuss when you arrive, you don't want to lose face! When Niangniang entered the prince's mansion, she was just the prince's person, the royal daughter-in-law, and nothing else! When you meet, you still have to do the etiquette, don't forget the humility! ”
After saying that, she hurriedly saluted Li'er and stepped aside, Shen Li looked at the old lady with an unbelievable look, only took the white fungus soup handed by Xiao Tao with a smile, scooped a few mouthfuls with a small spoon, and said with a smile: "This soup is doing well today, go and give the old lady and the fifth sister a cup of moisturizing lips, after talking for so long, I think I want to moisturize it, and prepare the Sydney bird's nest that I ordered to prepare yesterday, and I will send it to the prince in a while!" ”
Hearing the word prince, the old lady thought about the purpose of coming today, and couldn't help but put down her old face and said to Shen Li: "Today, the old body wants to be lonely in the prince's mansion, and wants to let the five girls come to accompany the mother to relieve her boredom. ”
After making such a fuss, I still have to stuff people into myself, yes, anyway, I didn't say what to do in the prince's mansion, Li'er thought and smiled: "Just saying that there is one less embroidery work around me, it just so happens that these five sisters are here, I heard that the embroidery skills in the mansion were also the best, so let's go into the prince's mansion to help, and the prince's mansion is not afraid to raise more people!" ”
