Chapter 34: Concubine Hui
The next day, the old lady really asked Mama An beside her to hand the sign to the palace, and she entered the palace very smoothly and saw Concubine Hui Niangniang (Chapter 34).
As soon as she entered Concubine Hui's splendid palace, the old lady had to kneel down to greet Concubine Hui, although with Concubine Hui's current status, she could afford the old lady's kneeling.
However, Concubine Hui naturally wouldn't really let the old lady kneel, and before the old lady was about to kneel, she had already made a look at the big palace maid beside her, and said, "Old lady, please sit down." I don't know why the old lady entered the palace today? ”
Concubine Hui's voice was cold and detached, but the old lady had long been accustomed to Concubine Hui's attitude, even before entering the palace, this concubine whose name was under her name had never been really friendly with her.
When the old marquis was still alive, he would call her "mother", and after the old marquis died, after the death of the old marquis, after a few rare meetings, he never shouted a "mother" from Concubine Hui's mouth, and the only "old lady" who was extremely distant from her, as if they were just passers-by who had nothing to do with each other.
Although the old lady did not like Concubine Hui's name for herself, Concubine Hui is now the favorite concubine of the saint, and she is also the biological mother of the third princess who is favored by the saint among the princesses of the saint, so even if the old lady is unwilling, she has to bear it.
What's more, over the years, she has become accustomed to it, and the old lady is not very thorough about Concubine Hui's temperament, and she also has a good grasp of it, knowing that she is a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush.
So the old lady made up her mind and stopped lying and didn't lie, and even if she didn't see the third princess in the Splendid Palace, she directly ignored the past, and said the purpose of her entry into the palace: "Yesterday, the Hou Ye and the old man mentioned the matter of the Holy Lord's request for the Hou Mansion to establish a prince. Although the old body thinks that Yang'er is also a good one, but there is nothing outstanding in the end, it is better to observe it for a few more years before making plans. Hou Ye is now less than forty, and it is when he is in the prime of life, and there is no better heir than Yang'er.
The people of the Hou Mansion are not prosperous, and it will not be wrong to find the most suitable and most beneficial person to inherit the Hou Mansion, otherwise it will be difficult for the old man to explain to the old Hou Ye when he goes underground. ”
The old lady dared to say such a thing in front of Concubine Hui, but it was also because Concubine Hui was born as a concubine, since she could be imprisoned as a concubine, it was not impossible for Situ An's concubine to be on the throne.
It's just that the old lady forgot that the laws of Nanling Kingdom do not have strict requirements for the origin of the concubine, as long as the net worth is innocent.
What's more, even if the background is not good, as long as the saint is willing, it is not for nothing that the identity is whitewashed and directly brought into the palace by a good background, in the end, the world of Nanling Kingdom is the world of the saint, who dares to really say irresponsible remarks to the saint's woman?
However, Nanling Kingdom has clear regulations on the succession of various families, especially the title.
Situ An is neither a concubine nor a long, even if the old lady can raise Xiaolin to a flat wife, Situ An still can't surpass Situ Yang, unless Situ Yang dies or the Han family is demoted from a wife to a concubine or Situ Yang himself gives up the position of the son and gives up the right to inherit, the title may fall to Situ An's head, but the possibility of such a thing is too small.
Since the Xiaolin clan entered the Hou Mansion, he has been working hard to ascend to the throne for more than ten years, hasn't he been unsuccessful?
The old lady's coquettish attitude made Concubine Hui's calm face appear a little fluctuation, but she concealed it very well and didn't let people notice it.
The old lady's words even made a trace of disdain in the eyes of the big palace maid beside Concubine Hui.
This big palace maid has been by Concubine Hui's side for more than ten years, and she knows the affairs of the Hou Mansion very well, the old lady's words make it clear that she will not let Situ Yang become the prince, Situ Kong now has only two sons in his name, and if he does not establish Situ Yang, he can only wait for the six-year-old Situ An to grow up, no wonder she is waiting for a few more years.
But Situ An is just a concubine born to an aunt, and the saint is the most important in today's life, no matter how it is, Situ An's turn can't be turned, I really don't know where this old lady got her confidence, do you think Concubine Hui can say that the saint can change the law?
"Please establish the matter of the son, the free saint and the Hou Ye decide, and the Hou Ye will naturally pick the best. The old lady still focuses more on the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion can't always let an aunt be in charge of the house. Concubine Hui's face remained unchanged, but the words she said directly hit the old lady's face, making the old lady's heart sink to the bottom.
As soon as Concubine Hui said this, the old lady immediately understood one thing, the reason why Situ Kong didn't insist last night was obviously knowing that Concubine Hui would not object to making Situ Yang the prince, but she was bored by entering the palace to ask for herself.
The old lady understood in her heart, and she didn't speak for a long time, she already fully understood in her heart that the matter of Situ Yang's establishment of the prince was basically a foregone conclusion.
However, the old lady is not a person who gives up easily, what if she has a son, Situ Kong is not very old now, and his body is extremely healthy, and he is still far from Situ Yang really controlling the Hou Mansion, there is time for them to plan, and let the Han family and Situ Yang be proud for a while.
However, the matter of being in charge of the backyard mentioned by Concubine Hui is urgent, how can the power of the Hou Mansion be held in the palm of her own hand, not to mention the body of the Han family, does she have the energy to take care of the house?
The Xiaolin family has been in charge of the house for ten years, so what's the point of saying that the aunt's housekeeper is not suitable now?
The old lady's old face was gloomy, and she choked on her eyes for a long time, and then she raised her head, and the unwillingness in her eyes was completely put away: "What Niangniang said is extremely true, but the old man is old, where is there any energy to manage the Hou Mansion of Nuoda." And Han's body, alas"
The old lady's meaning, how could Concubine Hui not know, it was nothing more than to give the Xiaolin family a housekeeper in the name of feeling sorry for the Han family's weak body and not easy to get tired.
In the past, Concubine Hui just smiled like that, but yesterday the saint came to the Splendid Palace and said something, but Concubine Hui understood that she couldn't let it go any longer.
Concubine Hui's face showed a slight smile: "This is also true, now that the old lady is older, it is time to retire." Although the sister-in-law's body and bones have been recuperated by these things, it is indeed not appropriate to work too hard. ”
"Not really. Let Qin'er be a housekeeper, but I am still reluctant to let your sister-in-law work too hard. Alas, if it weren't for Qin'er all these years, it wouldn't be the chaos in the house. It's a pity that the old lady has infinite pity for the Han family, and she is helpless to the housekeeper of the Xiaolin family, which makes the corners of Concubine Hui's eyes jump.
After many years of immersion in the harem, how could Concubine Hui fall into the trap of the old lady, but said happily: "But it's okay now, the two nieces and nephews are now in their teens, and it should be time for them to learn to be in charge of the family."
The young lady of our Hou Mansion, even if she is a young lady, she can't say which family is the daughter-in-law of the family in the future, or even the clan wife, she can't even take care of the family.
Now it's time for them to learn more from their sister-in-law's side, which can not only make them grow their skills, but also share some work for their sister-in-law. ”
Concubine Hui's words were sincere, and anyone who listened to them was wholeheartedly thinking about the Hou Mansion, but when she heard it in the ears of the old lady, she couldn't do it, and she couldn't say anything to refute it for a while.
