Chapter 135: If you're not careful, you get carried away
Lin Wanbai thought that she would be very idle during this time, anyway, she had always been idle in the palace, and she had almost become an idle population.
Therefore, Lin Wanbai doubted that in fact, except for the maids who came into contact with her every day, everyone had forgotten her existence.
I used to hear that the ladies of the official family always have a lot of small gatherings, sometimes in the small garden of so-and-so, sometimes in the pavilion where tea is tasted, in short, the days of these celebrities are definitely not too boring.
But why didn't anyone invite her?
In fact, Lin Wanbai didn't know that those so-called small gatherings were all aimed at those singles, and a woman like her, who would dare to invite a woman who had already made a marriage contract.
Small gatherings, although it is said that some female relatives are playing and having fun, but the knowledge in it is not small.
Or the younger sister looks for a sister-in-law for her brother, or the sister looks for a younger brother and sister, or the future mother-in-law helps her choose a daughter-in-law who she likes; And the people who participated also had a little information in their hearts, and asked through the little sisters which family's son-in-law was good and which family's mother-in-law was easy to get along with.
In short, it's definitely not just about playing.
has already promised people, and it is not easy to invite them over, if something goes wrong, or it is dazzling to which son, or which son Lin Wanbai has taken a fancy to because of this.
Isn't this offending King Qi's Mansion?
This kind of thing, no one is willing to take risks.
Therefore, even if Lin Wanbai is bored and moldy here, the invitation post will not be delivered to her.
While she was chatting in every way, Wen Rou came again.
Given the experience of the previous times, every time Aunt Wenrou appeared, nothing good would happen.
"Aunt Wen Rou came over this time, did Wanbai do something wrong again and make the princess angry?"
Without waiting for Wen Rou to speak, Lin Wanbai first said to herself, and no matter what news Wen Rou would bring, it was still necessary to give herself a preventive shot.
Hearing Lin Wanbai say this, Wen Rou smiled a little apologetically. Then he said in a modest tone: "Sister Wan said this, but there is a grievance in your heart?" ”
When Lin Wanbai heard this, he just laughed, not shaking his head or nodding. How to answer this kind of thing, left and right are not a good thing to answer.
"During this time, I did wronged Sister Wan'er, but we are a big family, and no one believes that there is no grievance, but there is helplessness in this. I hope Sister Wan can understand. ”
Wen Rou is the princess's side in the end, and it is natural to help her speak.
Lin Wanbai blinked, Wen Rou was just a high-level maid, even if she had grievances in her heart, she wouldn't be able to help her, on the contrary, she was very likely to push herself into a situation from which she could never recover.
Therefore, she will not easily cry her grievances in front of anyone, like a sister-in-law of Xianglin.
"Aunt Wen Rou misunderstood, Wanbai has done a lot of wrong things during this time. Yuan also wanted to go to the princess to plead guiltily, but he was afraid of making the princess angry even more, so he gave up. ”
Lin Wanbai smiled sweetly, and said in a soft voice, this pretending to be a good baby, she is quite good at it.
Although it's just a polite word, Wen Rou is very useful, who doesn't like to listen to good words.
She looked at Lin Wanbai and nodded while smiling and said, "Sister Wan'er has this thought, that's the best, the princess just let you go with it." Don't worry. ”
Since Wen Rou has said this, naturally there will be no major incident, at least not like last time, directly asking the teacher for guilt.
Really. When I came to the princess's residence, I felt different when I walked in, there was no oppressive atmosphere, and most importantly, Bi Qian was not present this time.
Lin Wanbai lowered her eyes and walked in front of the princess. He bowed slightly and said, "Wan Bai has seen Niangniang." ”
The princess looked at her, although she still had some nostalgia in her heart, but she didn't have a dark face and a cold tone like last time.
"Sit down and talk."
Sure enough, the princess was not angry at all, not to mention angry at Lin Wanbai's rebellious behavior, even if it was just a scolding.
Lin Hongan stood there, looking very embarrassed, and Lin Chen seemed to be a little surprised, in a place like King Qi's Mansion, didn't he pay more attention to these etiquette, how could it be as if nothing had happened.
Of course, these outsiders naturally don't know what the princess wants.
If all she wants is an obedient and well-behaved daughter-in-law, then in the imperial city, there are too many people to choose from, so much that she can walk around the entire Qi Palace.
Although it is said that her family Hongshu has a brain disease, but her identity is also here, in this world, there are too many people who want to sell their daughters in exchange for fame and fortune.
What she wants is a woman who can protect Hongshu, a woman who is strong enough, even if she is a little selfish, but this is everything she can think of as a mother.
"Thank you, Niangniang."
Lin Wanbai smiled slightly, then raised her head, and happened to meet Lin Chen's eyes, and then she raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Chen's with some provocation.
Lin Wanbai didn't want to do too much investigation about how this woman made things difficult for their mother and daughter in the past, but from this moment on, she no longer belonged to the Lin family, and no one could use the identity of the Lin family to suppress her.
Lin Chen has always been very arrogant, in the Lin Mansion, except for Lin Hongan, it can almost be said that she is in charge of the overall situation, and no one has ever dared to look at her like this.
Scourge, this dead girl, is a scourge.
Lin Chen squeezed his hand tightly and squeezed it into a fist.
How can she just admit defeat to a girl, she still has Lu'er and Xu'er, and she has to pave the way for them in the future, how can she let a girl step on her head like this.
"Princess, although this matter seems a little inconsequential here, you are the mistress of the Qi Palace, so I still said that I want to tell you."
Lin Chen no longer looked at Lin Wanbai, stood up and bowed slightly to the princess, and then said: "Our Lu'er girl has also made a marriage with the prince of Yingxiu. ”
This sentence is definitely not what the princess wants to hear, but it is a sentence that there is no way to avoid.
Her face turned a little colder, but she didn't show a hint of displeasure. Over the years, she has been in the palace with Concubine Li, and she has never fought or fought anymore, but the identity of the main mother has always been hers.
Therefore, Yingxiu is also her child. This kind of thing, naturally, she is also very clear.
"I remember, Ali also told me that the date is set for the twenty-one."
Lin Wanbai raised her eyebrows slightly, very good. Everyone knew, but she didn't know anything, and she didn't even want to know the time.
The day of her and Hongshu's wedding was nineteen, while Lu'er and Yingxiu were twenty-one, just two days apart.
Do you really have to be in such a hurry?
"This is more joy, we naturally can't ask for it, but we are so close, on the banquet. I don't know ......."
Lin Chen was halfway through his speech, and deliberately cut off his words here.
Hongshu is still the identity of the prince, and the pomp of this wedding banquet is absolutely extraordinary, so her Lu'er is naturally also stained with a lot, and she can't sleep with excitement when she thinks of seeing a lot of dignitaries.
Lin Tianxu has been studying in Taixue for several years, and he can finish his course just before the spring starts today.
This is if it is at a wedding. Get acquainted with some high-ranking officials, then you will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future.
Maybe he was too happy, Lin Chen couldn't help but show a blush of excitement on his face when he thought of this.
But he didn't notice it. Although the princess did not show any displeasure on her face, her tone was already a lot colder.
"Lu'er and Xiu'er, it's also these two days."
The princess said lightly, and she didn't want to say more, that was not her son, and Concubine Li had to arrange the time after Hongshu. is so close, I really don't know how heavy it is.
Originally, it was intended to be something that was trying to avoid, but it was brought up by this woman who didn't know the severity.
In fact, according to normal times, Lin Chen's family would not understand these taboos, perhaps because he saw that Lin Wanbai was living so well, not only did he become the princess, but also got the princess's liking, so he was dizzy for a while.
"That's right, it's also in these two days, it's Lu'er's blessing to be able to stand side by side with the prince."
Lin Chen said, unable to hide the smile on his face, there are unwritten rumors in the market, no matter how painful the prince of Qi is, can he let a fool inherit the family business, the position of the son of this world, let Hongshu sit for the time being.
Although her family's Lu'er is a concubine, as long as she coaxes the young son of Yingxiu to be obedient, then it is equivalent to holding great power.
It's like Concubine Li, even if it's just a side concubine, but in fact, the power of the entire inner courtyard of King Qi's Mansion doesn't fall on her.
In the future, her Lu'er will also be like this.
Lin Wanbai listened to it on the side, lowered his head and laughed, the struggle in this inner courtyard is really not sloppy at all, he is slightly in the wrong formation, and he doesn't even know how to die.
In the past, she thought that Lin Chen was a very smart person, after all, among so many women, Lin Hongan was pinched to death, and other concubines were suppressed to the point that they could not be beaten.
But now it seems that this Lin Chen clan does not seem to be a big deal.
Sure enough, the princess's face became more and more ugly, and without waiting for Lin Chen's chatter, she said directly: "Xiu'er's matter, you go to Ali, she is a strong person, and I don't care about it, and it is useless for you to tell me now." ”
Yingxiu's wedding date and her Hongshu's wedding date almost collided together, this alone was enough for her to be stunned for a long time, and Yingxiu was just a concubine, and I don't know why the prince would agree.
"This ......"
After being robbed of white, Lin Chen's face was a little ugly, and she didn't seem to know what to say, she sat down stupidly, but she didn't think it was all her fault, but raised her head and glared at Lin Wanbai, as if as long as she blamed the fault on others, then she would be fine.
Seeing this, Lin Wanbai stuck out his tongue at her, obviously she was stupid, why bother to blame the problem on her.
"Don't talk about this, today is just to invite the future in-laws to have a light meal, reminisce about the past, and don't talk about other things."
After the princess finished speaking, she stood up, and Wen Rou behind her helped her and walked outside; Seeing this, Lin Wanbai also helped Aunt Zhao up and followed her out.
Lin Hongan glanced at Lin Chen with some annoyance, he was really a woman, and he couldn't even speak.
Lin Chen opened his mouth, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, so he stomped his foot resentfully and walked out.
Who wants to eat this Lin Wanbai's rice, but she is also Lin Wanbai's aunt, so she looks a little stingy if she doesn't come.
"Mother, in the house, can you eat well and sleep well?"
Lin Wanbai helped Aunt Zhao, lowered her head and asked in a low voice, she didn't bother to care about other things, as long as her mother was fine, then it would be enough.
Aunt Zhao looked at her all the time, grabbed her hand tightly, and then said with a smile: "Okay, everything is fine, but you are not around, and you are always a little lonely." ”
In fact, how could Lin Wanbai not know, where is Aunt Zhao?
If the definition of good is nothing more than three meals and one night, and there is no need to work, then it is too perfunctory. Lin Hongan's person was not a good thing in the first place, and when he fell in love with Aunt Zhao, he was just beautiful.
Over the years, Aunt Zhao has been bullied like this in the Lin family, her face is haggard, and her body shape has changed.
How can it be really good?
It's just that Lin Wanbai can do everything except ensure that Aunt Zhao has three meals and one night, does she have to threaten Lin Hongan with other things, must she be good to her mother?
A man who has changed his mind, even if he behaves, will never change his essence, this kind of pretense will only make Aunt Zhao even more sad.
"Later, when I settle down, I will take you to live with me."
She thought about it for a while and felt that only this was the best, and only by keeping her mother by her side could she get the best care.
Ercheng can only protect his mother's life, and nothing else can be done.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao's face changed, and she quickly shook her head, looked at her and said, "Don't say these words in front of others." ”
"Mother?"
"Wan'er, why are you still so stupid, if you marry here, you are their person, if you don't get their consent, even if you are your mother's family, you can't come back at will, let alone say anything stupid to take me over."
In this dynasty, women are just accessories, maybe there is true love, but three wives and four concubines, each as delicate as a flower, how long can this true love last.
Lin Wanbai pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything, with her own strength, it is not easy to change the concept formed over thousands of years.
Could it be that she is like this, and there is no way to care about Aunt Zhao's life?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanbai took a deep breath, since she has no way to change everyone's mind, it is always possible to change one person's mind.
Lin Wanbai was holding Aunt Zhao, and Lin Hongan, who was walking in front, smiled slightly, thinking about it. (To be continued.) )
