Chapter 62: Mother-in-law's promise, don't be gullible
Princess Qi eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round, so her courtyard is also antique, with red tiles and green walls, dense trees all around, and a row of flower beds at the bottom, blooming with colorful flowers.
The planting is a bit random, and the colors look very mixed, but it is precisely because of this that it looks more natural and beautiful.
The woman leading the way in front of her is not walking fast, and her leisurely appearance matches the scenery here.
Passing through the front porch and walking through the courtyard rockery, there is a wide inner courtyard with a well on the side. She stood in front of the red carved door and waited, and the woman came forward and knocked on the door, and said in a soft voice, "Princess, Sister Wan is here." ”
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
Compared with the Lin family, the system here is more stringent, but because of Hongshu, the maids who accompany him are very lively, and if they are changed to other places, they will not be able to do this.
Lin Wanbai exhaled softly, and then lowered her head and followed in, Princess Qi was not Hongshu, and she might not be accommodating to her.
As soon as you walk in, there is a large living room, on both sides of which are placed the Bogu shelves, on which are placed all kinds of ceramics and jade plates, calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and in the corner there is a half-human high ceramic vase with scrolls and peacock feathers.
On both sides, there are sour branch chairs and coffee tables, behind which are beaded curtains, hooked with hooks, and there is a delicate incense burner not far away, burning incense, a little like the taste of Buddhism.
And Princess Qi was sitting on the couch, holding a string of smooth and colored Buddha beads in her hand, with a kind smile on her face.
"I asked Wenrou to bring you here, I hope it didn't scare you."
It turned out that the lady who brought Lin Wanbai here and did not smile on her face was called Wen Rou, who looked a few years younger than Princess Qi, but she was also in her thirties.
"Wanbai has seen the princess, may the princess be blessed and healthy."
Although no one has taught her to understand, she has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and it has not been in vain to watch TV for so many years, but I don't know the lines of this modern person, and it is just appropriate to put it here.
Princess Qi nodded with satisfaction and motioned for her to sit down on the side.
Lin Wanbai glanced at the chair she gestured to, it was very close to her, and the two of them could whisper. And Wen Rou had already returned to behind Princess Qi, standing quietly, without much expression on her face, looking a little fierce.
"After Yuan'er left, I rarely talked to the girl's family, and I didn't know what to say."
The princess is a very easy-going person, smiled, raised her head to look at Wen Rou, and said softly: "I don't know if Yuan'er is doing well, you go and prepare some clothes and so on, and let people send them over." ”
"Yes."
Wen Rou nodded obediently.
This passage made Lin Wanbai a little curious, who was Yuan'er in Princess Qi's mouth, she had never heard anyone mention it.
"Sister Wan, I didn't want to say these words, I felt a little superfluous, but as a mother, I hope you can understand my selfishness."
Princess Qi put down the Buddha beads in her hand, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Even if you don't say it, you can see that Hongshu is a little different from others; Although he is a mother, he is still my favorite child, and I will find a way to find everything he wants, such as, Sister Wan, you. ”
At Hongshu's age, if it were normal, he would have married a wife and had children.
If you want to find the right person, a beautiful woman who is talented and proficient in appearance, is not necessarily willing to stoop to a fool; The family background is a little worse, and he is not worthy of the prince of Qi Wangfu, and more importantly, Hongshu doesn't like anyone, but whoever finds a beautiful girl for him, none of them are thrown out.
Therefore, at the birthday banquet, Hongshu's actions were too unexpected for everyone.
Although Lin Wanbai is a concubine of the Lin family, Hongshu likes it, and Princess Qi will find a way to promote this family affair no matter what.
When Lin Wanbai heard this, she frowned, she was not a commodity, she could be bought and sold at will.
"If I understand the princess's thoughts as a mother, then who will embody my mother's thoughts?"
She raised her head slightly, looked at Princess Qi, and said in a somewhat firm tone.
In a dynasty with a strong class division, perhaps those without status were not even qualified to make demands; But it's a pity that Lin Wanbai is not contaminated with this servility.
Wen Rou on the side frowned when she heard her say this, but she didn't stop shouting.
Princess Qi was also a little surprised by her attitude, over the years, no one had ever dared to talk to her like this, even Concubine Li, who had always been arrogant, had to call her sister safely when she saw her, and her eyebrows were lowered.
It seems that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"What does Sister Wan mean is that she doesn't want to marry my Qi Wangfu?"
No one wants to bury their whole life in the body of a fool, even if you are the princess, not everyone can understand the sadness of a lifetime.
Lin Wanbai realized that her speech seemed to be a little straightforward, paused, and continued to answer: "The folk girls just think that when they become husband and wife, they should love each other, so that they can fly together and grow old together; Hiroshiko isn't bad, I'm just not tempted yet. ”
"Is Sister Wan worried about this problem?"
Princess Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed slowly, the living room was very cool here, and the half-covered window blew a cool breeze, hitting the bead curtain, making a crisp sound.
"I still remember that when I married the prince, I was only fifteen years old, and the prince was still the prince at that time, and the emperor gave him a marriage; When I was in the boudoir, I heard that the prince was good at guns and swords, and he was a rough man, but after so many years, the prince and I have always been very affectionate. ”
Well, in her opinion, feelings can be cultivated as long as they are together. But Lin Wanbai is worried, if he can't cultivate it, won't this life be in vain?
Since the love is incomparable, what is the matter with Concubine Li?
Lin Wanbai just kept this in his heart, and he was not stupid enough to ask directly.
But think about it, if a person with a noble status like Prince Qi has only one wife and no concubines, he will give people jokes.
However, if she wants to share a husband with another woman, she feels disgusting when she thinks about it.
"Wanbai is afraid, Hongshizi is just a fresh curiosity about me, after all, I am not a plaything."
Even if it is the model of affection that Princess Qi said in her mouth, doesn't Prince Qi also accept a concubine, why doesn't Hongshu like the new and hate the old, this gene can be inherited.
Princess Qi is a little speechless, she is really a girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but this kind of character is exactly what Princess Qi wants.
She just wants to find a daughter-in-law with a tough attitude and a pungent personality, so that not only can she manage Hongshu well, but she doesn't need to worry about it after a hundred years.
The daughter-in-law who agrees with her heart must not let her run away.
"Sister Wan'er, just when I beg you, after I get started, I will definitely treat you as my own daughter, if Hongshu dares to be a little bit against you, I will definitely beat him hard."
When Lin Wanbai heard this, she raised her eyebrows, her mother-in-law's pre-marital promise could not be believed casually.
