Chapter 184: Frankness

Mengbao specially asked Shen Nanzhu in advance, what is the status of the queen and the concubines in the harem in the palace, and whether anyone can influence Emperor Dezhao's thoughts.

Shen Nanzhu felt very strange about her question, and after listening to her tell a few examples like Daji Baoxi, she understood her worries, and smiled and said that she was completely overwhelmed.

Emperor Dezhao is a very assertive emperor, and he does not particularly favor anyone for the harem concubines, and the only one who has ever favored him died more than ten years ago.

Here, the political affairs of the former dynasty and the affairs of the harem are clearly distinguished, and there is no situation of the harem interference in politics that Zài Mengbao often saw on novels and TV before.

On the contrary, except for the queen, the other concubines in the harem do not have too high status in front of the officials, although they are also in a high position in the harem, but to put it bluntly, they are just concubines, and it is not said that the officials took the initiative to salute and take the initiative to give way when they saw the concubines.

If there is really a person who dares to act willfully and recklessly on the emperor's favor, he will definitely be refuted by the officials in the court for nothing, demanding that the emperor demote his position and take away his title.

If the emperor doesn't listen, the imperial historians will die in the hall if they can't keep it, which will be a big scandal for a generation of emperors.

Therefore, Mengbao's worries are completely overwhelmed.

Even if she is a queen, she can't influence Emperor Dezhao's thoughts, let alone the government, let alone other concubines.

There is no need for Shen Nanzhu to conceal and deceive Mengbao in this kind of matter, and after adding the words of Duchess Rongguo who saw the queen with a gun and a stick in the queen's palace just now, he is even more sure that most of the chaotic situations in the harem are exaggerated in novels or TV series. The real reality should be, as Shen Nanzhu said, although the harem and the previous dynasty are closely involved, they are clearly divided.

The queen's previous actions were nothing more than to take advantage of the situation to suppress her in momentum, so as to lay the foundation for the future relationship between the two.

She is not the woman who walked around like duckweed with a letter of resignation at the beginning, but Shen Nanzhu's wife, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingnan.

When she was alone, she could give in to many things and she couldn't care, but now she can't back down and can't care.

She herself can bow her head in front of people, but she can't bow her head as Shen Nanzhu's wife.

She will never give in when she needs to be strong, and she will never be soft when she needs to be ruthless.

Whether she is older or older many queens. is still a teenage girl who is not familiar with the world. If she touches something she shouldn't touch, she won't back down and dodge.

Mrs. Wei looked at her unusually tough gaze and shook her head with a smile.

No wonder, no wonder, that kid in the wind can't let go so much. This girl is really an outlier.

So it seems. When I first saw her, I asked her what she thought of Chengfeng. Don't blame this girl for being angry.

There is no excuse for wanting to add to the crime, obviously Chengfeng has a mind about her that she shouldn't have, but he doubts her here. Anyone would be angry, right?

I am really used to being this Duchess of Rongguo, and I am used to being preconceived and thinking about problems from my own standpoint.

A sound of footsteps came from afar, and the little palace maid who had just spilled the tea on Mengbao's dress walked in with a slight gasp, saluted the two respectfully, and then handed the burden to Mengbao.

"The slave and maid didn't know that Mrs. Shizi wanted to change the clothes, so she took the burden directly, Mrs. Shizi, you picked and looked, and after picking the slave and maid, she sent the rest back to the carriage for you."

She spoke sincerely and with a little caution, as if she wanted to make up for her previous mistakes.

Mengbao nodded, opened the baggage, and the three neatly folded dresses were suddenly revealed.

The delicate fabrics and delicate embroidery immediately attracted the attention of the little palace maid, who had served in the palace for many years, and could tell at a glance whether the clothes were good or bad, and these clothes were definitely much better than the one that the prince was wearing now.

Mrs. Wei on the side was also a little surprised to see these clothes, although she vaguely heard some remarks about the pampering of the prince of Dingnan Hou to his wife, but it was a little unexpected.

At first glance, these clothes are all from the hands of Yunnifang, and this embroidery is still the craftsmanship of Dong Niangzi of Yunnifang.

It stands to reason that when you enter the palace, you will not choose clothes that are too outstanding, so this should be just a few of the many clothes that this Dingnan Marquis and Mrs. Shizi have to wear......

She suddenly remembered that a few days ago, she asked people to go to Yunnifang to buy a new set of clothes for several young ladies in the mansion, but Yunnifang replied that she had recently received a bigger order, and Dong Niangzi was really busy, and the clothes of the Rongguo Mansion had always been taken care of by Dong Niangzi herself, and she wanted to ask them if they could change to other embroiderers this time.

Mrs. Wei didn't pay much attention to it at the time, she just thought that it was another merchant who placed the order, and now it seems that ...... I'm afraid it's all done by Azhu for his own lady......

Mrs. Wei has taken care of Zhongfang for many years, although the Rongguo Mansion has never lacked silver, and the food and clothing have always been generous, but there has never been a precedent for anyone to only wear the clothes of Yunnifang, let alone the clothes made by Dong Niangzi of Yunnifang, even if she herself does not have it.

It's not a question of being rich or poor, it's a matter of rules.

A family, especially a large family, is made up of countless people, and everything has to be done with other members of the family in mind.

Will this behavior make other members feel dissatisfied, will it upset the balance within the family and cause some unnecessary trouble, etc.

And Ah Zhu's affection for his lady has obviously ignored these rules, and he has devoted himself to giving her all the best things, and he has not taken the rest to heart at all.

This is completely different from the calm and self-controlled Ah Zhu in her impression, he is simply a silly boy who is new to love, stupid and naïve only cares about being good to people, but does not carefully consider the possible consequences of this kind of goodness.

Wrong......

Mrs. Wei instantly denied her own idea.

Ah Zhu is a person who does everything and will never fail to consider the consequences.

Obviously thinking about it, but still doing this, it can only show that he doesn't care about the consequences at all.

He didn't care if the other people in Nanhou Mansion would be dissatisfied, he didn't care about the opinions and opinions of those people, he only cared about the person in front of him, he only cared about whether she was doing well, and as for the others...... I'm afraid it won't be in his eyes at all!

This kid ...... Is......

Mrs. Wei sighed again and shook her head, pointing to the lake-blue dress in the baggage: "I think this one is good, it's better to ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the young woman take out a water-red dress, wrap the bag, and hand it to the little palace maid.

"Please send it back for me."

"No trouble, no trouble."

The little palace maid was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly left with her baggage.

Mrs. Wei looked at Mengbao's clothes in the crook of her arm, and frowned slightly: "This dress is a little too eye-catching, I'm afraid of ...... when I wear it."

"I'm just as eye-catching in this outfit."

Mengbao pointed to the tea stain on his body and said.

Mrs. Wei was stunned, and then burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, I can't say you, let's go and change it, after a long delay, I have to settle the truth." ”

Mengbao nodded and went in to change her clothes, and when she came out, Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment.

The gentle and elegant woman just now became as delicate as a flower in a blink of an eye, and the water-red dress outlined a large peony with gold threads, graceful and luxurious, obviously a bright and almost bewitching appearance, but it made people feel dignified and atmospheric, without any sense of enchantment.

Mrs. Wei felt a little incredible, but she took it for granted.

Thinking about the appearance of this girl in front of herself and the queen just now, where is she really a gentle person, she may not know how strong she is in her heart, but she deliberately wore such clothes to suppress her somewhat strong momentum.

She suddenly remembered that she had just said that she was "not wronged", so it seemed that she was really not wronged, and she was really wronged by wearing the clothes that had been splashed with tea.

"Today, I chose a horse for Princess Rong'an, if you go out like this, I'm afraid that some people will feel uncomfortable when they see it."

She smiled, and the worry in her voice was no longer the same as before, but the look of watching the show.

Choose a horse for Princess Rong'an?

Mengbao raised his eyebrows, and his heart was relieved.

"Whatever I wear, people will look at me uncomfortable, not how uncomfortable I am, but they themselves have a pair of uncomfortable eyes."

Mrs. Wei laughed when she heard this: "Good, good, good!" ”

She said three good things in a row before continuing: "The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. We didn't do anything wrong ourselves, but those people who were born looked at us unpleasantly, so it can be seen that they really have problems with their own eyes, no wonder we!
