Mrs. Zuo Xiang's shouting, Mrs. Tai immediately remembered, isn't this Mrs. Shen in front of her the only beloved daughter of the late Taishi Shen University, who once served as the princess of Yide and is now the concubine Shen of the princess of Yingchuan!

The rest of the ladies present who had seen Concubine Shen also stood up one after another, all of them never imagined that this princess of Yingchuan, who had always liked to live in seclusion, would suddenly come to this Anyuan Uncle's mansion, and she didn't even wear the concubine's clothes, but she dressed up like the wife of an ordinary big family and went out, which really scared them.

Although the king of Yingchuan is still trapped in the capital, he has never been a vassal and has no real power in his hands, but the saint has always treated their mother and son preferentially, and this highness is the biological son of the former prince after all, and now the saint is over forty years old, but there is only one prince under his knees, only four years old, I heard that he has always been weak and sickly, so it is rare to see people, if there is another case, then the chair above may not indicate who will sit? Therefore, after the ladies were surprised, they hurriedly saluted Concubine Shen, saying, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess of Yingchuan!" ”

Concubine Shen nodded and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Madame, please hurry up, I'm just going out to walk around today, you really don't need to be so polite." ”

As she spoke, she picked up Mrs. Luo with her own hands, and said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't need to be polite, my niece Caiwei has lived in your mansion for more than three years, and she really has to worry about the Lao Mansion." ”

As soon as the concubine said this, others were okay, and everyone in Du'an Yuanbo's Mansion was a little unclear, so they got up, isn't this Zhou Caiwei an orphan girl with no relatives and no reason? Why are you still related to this concubine?

Even Zhou Caiwei herself was very surprised, what surprised her was not the true identity of this "Mrs. Shen", she had already felt that this lady must be very human, but this Princess Yingchuan still called her a niece in front of everyone, this nephew and niece are always a little different, right?

Mrs. Tai has asked, "Could it be that my granddaughter is actually related to the concubine?" ”

Concubine Shen smiled: "If you calculate it carefully, she is indeed my relative. Her father, Zhou Zhuangyuan, once worshiped under his father's door, and this old lady wanted to know how much. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, "If it weren't for the guidance of the late Master Shen, my second son-in-law wouldn't have been a high school champion, but he ...... it's just that this level of relationship doesn't seem to be a relative, right?"

But Concubine Shen didn't say any more, and instead asked Cai Wei a somewhat strange word, "Wei girl, how many grandfathers do you have?" ”

Cai Wei replied without thinking about it: "Back to the concubine, the little girl has two grandfathers, one is the father of the late father, and the other is the father-in-law of the first father. ”

When her father was still there, in addition to worshiping the ancestors of her Zhou family every year, she would also put on a spiritual throne to worship, could it be that her righteous grandfather was a relative of Concubine Shen?

I saw Concubine Shen looking at her and said with a smile: "I have an uncle, who likes to travel the world the most in his life, although he has never married in his life, but in his twilight years, he accepted a righteous son for him to retire and send him to the end, he regarded this righteous son as his own child, and before he died, he recommended this righteous son to his father's door, and studied hard for a year, so that he won the Huiyuan and the champion in the spring of the following year, and became famous all over the world. I don't need to say more about who this person is! ”

Everyone in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion is like listening to the book of heaven, don't want the two of them to get close to each other like this? Cai Wei wondered why her father told her so many interesting anecdotes about her righteous grandfather, but he never told her about the origin of the Shen family, and she didn't know if Mama Du knew the details?

She suddenly remembered that when she sent her two uncles Zou and Geng back to Sichuan more than three years ago, she told her, "Although the two of us went, you are no longer helpless in this capital, and you have other things to rely on." It seems that most of the "reliance" referred to in this sentence is this Concubine Shen, but why didn't she say it three years ago, but at this time, she made it clear in front of others that she had this important relationship with her?

I saw Concubine Shen looking at her with a smile and said, "Cai Wei's niece is wondering why I came to recognize you this morning and evening?" Because I have had little contact with my relatives in the past ten years, and I don't even read the Di Bao much, I don't know that your father passed away three years ago, let alone that you came to this capital, or I heard from Mrs. Huang a few days ago, so I only heard from you. I thought that since it was a big day for you and Lu, I, as a cousin, had to come to watch the ceremony and recognize you as a niece by the way. ”

Cai Wei blinked, and saw that her newly recognized cousin was not blushing or panting when she lied, and her face was sincere and calm, so she also smiled and saluted: "My niece has seen my cousin, and my niece has always thought that there is no one other than my grandfather's family, and I don't want to see my cousin today, so I ask my cousin to be worshiped by my niece!" ”

Concubine Shen accepted her gift peacefully, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and said, "The previous hosta was for you and Lu, and this jade pendant is the meeting gift that my cousin gave you." ”

The thoughtful lady saw that the princess of Yingchuan had a new niece, so she also came up and said: "The niece of the concubine is really good-looking, and this whole body is ...... magnificent" While saying, she either plucked a hairpin from her head or wiped a bracelet from her hand, and sent the meeting gift to Cai Wei.

Seeing that a group of ladies and ladies stepped forward to show favor to Zhou Caiwei, Mrs. Tai was very happy to see it, but Zhao Yifei's face turned a little blue with anger. I thought that today was her most beautiful day, so many first-class noble and decent ladies and ladies in Beijing came to participate in her ceremony, and then looked at Zhou Caiwei's side, there were only three foreign guests, shabby to death, but who would have thought that one of the female guests would be the princess of Yingchuan, and this concubine turned around and became her cousin.

In just such a moment's effort, the girl stole all the limelight that belonged to her again, so that she was not annoyed, hated, resentful, or angry!

Seeing that it was easy for Concubine Shen to take Cai Wei to meet with the ladies and ladies, Mrs. Shen was busy inviting Concubine Shen to take a seat, but she didn't want Concubine Shen to smile and said: "There are already seats reserved for us in the corner over there, so I won't work for the ladies to make room for me again." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the right-hand side, and was also angry that they treated the guests on Caiwei's side so coldly, so she had to smile reluctantly: "That's because they didn't know the noble status of the concubine before, so they arranged the seats so arbitrarily, and I didn't teach them a lesson, and invited the concubine to take a seat." ”

Originally, the first two seats were Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Mrs. Dingxi Hou, and Mrs. Luo accompanied her on the right side, but now that Concubine Shen has been recognized, she is the grade of the princess, and she is the most noble among the people today, so she is naturally the chief.

Sun Kexin, the wife of the left minister, hurriedly got up and came to help her in person: "What the old lady said is that the concubine is also invited to take a seat, the status of the lady is noble, where is we can compare, and please sit here quickly!" He sat on the left side of the chief who had been given up by Mrs. Dingxi. Then she pressed Mrs. Dingxi to the right seat, and she herself went to the left side and sat down.

This unprovoked drop of a position, from the top to the second seat, Mrs. Zuo Xiang was really a little unhappy in her heart. But the two noble ladies sitting above, although the princess of Yingchuan was very unwelcome to her old master, the Empress Dowager Sun, her family father repeatedly told her not to offend the prince of Nayide. As for Mrs. Nading Xihou, because Xiangye has been trying her best to win over her son who has both military power and can fight, she naturally has to try her best to please her, otherwise she will be a matchmaker when she is full, and she wants to match the marriage of Dingxi Hou and Yifei.

This time I reorganized and sat down, and it took a cup of tea, and for a while, several daughters-in-law and maids of the Bofu couldn't stop going back and forth to add wine and serve food. The ladies just used some wine and rice at will, and when they were young, the dishes had been offered four times, and the soup began to be one, and everyone changed their clothes and went to the back hall to sit and eat tea.

Concubine Shen called Cai Wei to her, asked her a few words, and then smiled at Mrs. Luo: "Although I didn't know the whereabouts of my niece until three years late, as long as I think that she has spent the past three years at her maternal grandfather's house, most of my heart is relieved. It's naturally much better to live with my grandfather and aunt than to live with my cousin! ”

With the comparison of today's two ceremonies, Concubine Shen's words seem to be praising and belittled, so that Mrs. Luo's old face can't help but feel a little feverish, so she has to say: "The concubine is too famous, if this child can follow the concubine for a few days, it will be her blessing!" ”

"I'm just waiting for the old lady's words! I won't tell you the truth, the more I look at this child, the more I love it, and I want to take her to my house for a few days, but I'm afraid that the old lady will think that I will rob your granddaughter with you. Since the old lady said this, I had to send a sedan chair to pick up my niece tomorrow. ”

Some ladies on the side heard the words of the concubine, and couldn't help but move in their hearts, thinking of the concubine's son, King Yingchuan, who was twenty, because the concubine said that he was weak and sick, and it was not suitable to marry early in his life, so he had not yet set a princess. I heard that some ministers of the court in the past few days have made a break again, mentioning that the two county kings left by Prince Yide should be married, could it be that this concubine suddenly came to recognize a niece who has no blood relationship today, just to match her son? Her son is not her biological son, if she can make her niece a princess, naturally she will only have benefits and no harm.

Even these people in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion muttered in their hearts, could it be that the family affair that his aunt set for his daughter this week is the king of Yingchuan County?

Even Yi Fei and Aunt Liu, who thought they knew who the person who was married to Cai Wei was, inevitably had some doubts in their hearts. Especially when Yifei remembered that Zhou Caiwei knew that she had told Mrs. Zeng some "good things", but she still looked refreshed, and she was a little unsure of which family Caiwei had decided with this week.

If it is this Yingchuan Palace, then she can't let this family affair be done, otherwise when Zhou Caiwei marries and becomes the princess of Yingchuan, wouldn't it be a head taller than her, Mrs. Hou, how can she bear it.

I don't know what she told those two fools, how they did, it's been almost two months, and there hasn't been any movement, today is a great opportunity, as long as she can get that thing, no matter who she Zhou Caiwei is married to, she can think of ways to mess it up. At that time, will she be as proud as she is today?

In the eyes of the people in the Bofu, today's cousin is really lucky, and she has such a noble family as a concubine, it is really beautiful, I didn't see the five girls all at once, and I don't know how she was proud in her heart!

In fact, Cai Wei was happy in her heart, but in addition to this happy event, there was another hidden worry. When she asked Mrs. Huang to be her guest of honor, she also sent a post to Mrs. Zeng, not wanting her to say that she was unwell, so she resigned and didn't come.

Today, Mama Du quietly inquired with Mrs. Huang, and when she talked to Cai Wei in the evening, she learned that it turned out that these days, Zeng Yi was quite unhappy in the court, and was first squeezed out of slander by his colleagues and demoted by one level. Then I don't know why something went wrong in official affairs, and the blame is on him alone, and he has been suspended from work to be handled, and I don't know what the good luck is. Mrs. Zeng was also worried about her son's career and had some old illnesses, so she couldn't come.

Cai Wei took off her coat and thought in her heart, if Concubine Yingchuan really sent someone to take her to the palace tomorrow, would she mention the matter of the Zeng family to the concubine?

She was hesitating, and suddenly found that she seemed to have encountered another unlucky thing today, the jade phoenix that she had been wearing around her neck and her father carved for her was gone!
