Chapter 364: Determination (Yesterday's Update)

Although Prince Yong was not in Beijing, the eldest daughter Qi Yuexin got married, as a father, he still asked the big housekeeper to prepare enough dowry silver for Concubine Zhao early in the morning, and before the wedding, he also sent someone from the southwest to send a large box of gifts with a lot of weight.

The dowry of the son's marriage and the amount of the daughter's dowry were all given in the letter a long time ago, and several concubines and concubines were the same, and this box of valuable gifts was even extra, which made Qi Yuexin feel very proud and satisfied.

Concubine Zhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even rekindled hope in her heart, it seems that the prince still attaches great importance to her pair of children, and there is no "equal treatment". When Qi Yuexin is still like this, Qi Haoxiang is a son, and he will definitely not ignore it.

The overjoyed Concubine Zhao's mother and daughter didn't think about it at all, Qi Yuexin was the first to get married in the house, how did they know that after the marriage, the prince didn't prepare another gift?

Well, the main reason is that Prince Yong has too many "rules", and if the rules are set, people will strictly follow them, and everything will be misunderstood.

However, it is precisely because of the prince's glance that he separates the "dowry prepared in the house" from the gift he gave as his father. The dowry and dowry are the rules, and they should be listed, and the other gifts he prepared are random, and they cannot all be the same, so naturally they will not be indicated first.

Qi Yuexin's dowry has a sturdy 288 lifts, which is not less than that of ordinary family daughters (Chen Yueying, who got married a few days ago, is 238 lifts), but the status of Prince Yong's mansion is there, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

Of course, if it is compared with the 388 of the second princess Sima Yan last month, it will fall behind. It's just that. Sima Yan is a concubine. The identity of the county lord. is still married to the second prince.

If it was before, Qi Yuexin would definitely be jealous and hateful to Sima Yan, but now she wants to be friends with Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er, but she is a little more "generous".

Ruan Wenxin was born in a poor family, and his clansmen were all poor relatives in the countryside, and the house where he became a relative was Qi Yuexin's wedding yard, and the silver that should be spent was also "borrowed" by Qi Yuexin, so he naturally did not dare to invite too many clansmen to Beijing. Only took up parents, younger siblings, and patriarchs and other clan elders.

Therefore, the wedding banquet will not be held separately, but will be held together in Prince Yong's mansion on the day of the return banquet.

Shu Yao felt funny when she heard the news: "Won't the new house also be located in Prince Yong's Mansion?" ”

Mother Liu smiled contemptuously: "Of course they thought about it, but unfortunately they didn't have the guts." ”

The groom's family is not in the capital, there are few guests, and the two banquets and one banquet are directly held in Prince Yong's mansion, which is barely reasonable, and there have been several such examples. The cave house must not be set up in the woman's mother's house, unless it is to recruit a son-in-law.

Prince Yong's mansion has a concubine, no matter how much he doesn't recruit a concubine, right? (If that's the case.) Whether it is Concubine Zhao's mother and daughter, or Ruan Wenxin, they must be very happy)

The county lord of Yuegui was not interested in participating in Qi Yuexin's wedding banquet. But this is Shu Yao's first time in Prince Yong's mansion, and she really wants to accompany her future sister-in-law on behalf of her brother.

It's good for the Queen Mother to think about it, firstly, it is conducive to the prospective aunt and sister-in-law to take care of each other and cultivate their feelings, and secondly, Prince Yong's Mansion is Qi Yueling's home, and it is time to appear at the right time, lest some people forget who is the noble concubine of Prince Yong's Mansion.

So he informed Luo's mother and the big housekeeper Gui Bo one day in advance that Qi Yueling would return to the palace for a day and rest in Zhiyuan Garden, but would not stay in the palace overnight.

Early this morning, Qi Yuexin and Ruan Wenxin went home, and the relatives and elders of the Ruan family also came together, because today is not only a homecoming banquet, but also a wedding banquet for the Ruan family.

Although Prince Yong's mansion is not luxurious, it is the residence of the royal prince after all, and it is exquisite when it is built, and it is naturally extraordinary.

On the lintel of the main gate of the palace, the four characters of Prince Yong's mansion are dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which is mentioned by the emperor's royal pen himself, and the jade seal is also covered.

Entering the palace, the large courtyard is set of small courtyards, red bricks and blue tiles, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions...... It's dazzling and envious. The eyes of the Ruan family are too busy, their hearts are beating faster, their legs and feet are trembling, they are the in-laws of Prince Yong's Mansion in the future? Nguyen Van Tan was also very proud, he invited many colleagues today.

Although he is only half a son (son-in-law), Qi Yuexin is an aunt who married out, but the prince and the prince are not at home, right? In the palace, his mother-in-law and Qi Yuexin's mother are in charge. And Qi Yuexin said that her father has always looked at their sisters and brothers differently. The large box of "extra dowry" that Prince Yong specially sent back from the southwest was difficult for him to see in his life.

Well, he must often accompany Qi Yuexin back to the palace to live in the future, so that he can entertain his colleagues and those fellow scholars in Prince Yong's mansion, not only to save face but also not to spend his own expenses.

As soon as she arrived at the palace, Qi Yuexin wanted all the servants in the palace to come and see her uncle, although Concubine Zhao felt that it was not appropriate, but she also knew that Qi Yuexin wanted to show off in front of the Ruan family, and if she thought about it, she would help her, anyway, it was just a quick formality, and the guests had not yet arrived. Of course, the stewards of the outer courtyard and the minions of Zhiyuan Yuan don't need to be called (mainly because they are not within the scope of her rights, so they can't be called), and the Ruan family doesn't know how many servants there are in their palace?

Unexpectedly, Zhao's mother looked embarrassed: "Lord...... Master, except for those who are on duty, the minions all went to the gate with the big housekeeper and Mother Luo to welcome the county lord Yuegui, saying that the county lord Yuegui was going back to the house today. She also just learned about the way, and was about to find a gap to report to Concubine Zhao, who knew that the eldest girl had such a demon moth.

Qi Yuexin looked arrogant: "Hmph, it's rare that she is the lord of Yuegui who also knows that she wants to come back to celebrate my big sister." "It must have been my father's explanation, or I heard about my father's "partiality" for his big box.

Concubine Zhao smiled bitterly, how could it be? This daughter is too self-righteous.

Sure enough, Mother Zhao whispered: "The big housekeeper said, the Queen Mother instructed that the county lord of Yuegui came back to receive the quasi-sister-in-law Fuxing county lord, and no one else was allowed to disturb her in anything, and the diet of the county lord of Yuegui was responsible for the small kitchen of Zhiyuan Yuanyuan." ”

Concubine Zhao's back tooth socket was painful, and it didn't matter if Qi Yueling stayed in the palace, anyway, everyone already knew that the county lord of Dao Yuegui had been raised in the palace since he was a child. But when they came back today, they couldn't be "bothered by anyone or anything" when they came back, isn't this a slap in the face of their mother and daughter.

Qi Yueling's identity was originally more noble than Qi Yuexin, but now the word "expensive" has been added to the title, which is comparable to a princess, and she has to be the princess favored by the emperor and the queen mother, such as the little princess Zhuyu and the fourth princess.

If Qi Yueling does not attend Qi Yuexin's wedding banquet, no one will say anything, it will only make more people believe that the rumors that Qi Yuexin pushed Qi Yueling into the water back then are true.

Qi Yuexin also realized at this time, and the arrogance condensed on her face, turning into shame: Qi Yueling's dead girl is too much! The Queen Mother's grandmother is too partial, isn't she surnamed Qi, not the daughter of her father?

Ruan Wenxin and the Ruan family below didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, and they couldn't hear the whispered words of Concubine Zhao, only heard Qi Yuexin's triumphant words before, "It's rare that she is the lord of the noble county who also knows that she wants to come back to celebrate my big sister." ”

Ruan Wenxin suddenly felt that his back was even straighter, yes, the county lord of Yuegui was his sister-in-law, and he had to call him brother-in-law. It seems that his wife's status in the palace is indeed not low, but she has not been able to get the title of county lord because of her status as a concubine.

Mother Zhao snorted her scalp numbly again: "Lord...... Master, I'm ...... Are we going to greet the lord of Yuegui too? "Originally, when the concubines and concubines who had been away for a long time returned home, the side room and the concubines and concubines were going to the gate to greet them, not to mention that now the identity of the lord of Yuegui is becoming more and more valuable.

Concubine Zhao woke up like a dream, yes, she almost forgot her "duty" as a side room. Last time Qi Haoning returned home from the south, she thought about greeting her, but unfortunately she didn't know when they would come back.

Qi Yuexin was so excited that she forgot to lower her voice: "I didn't go, why did I go to meet her?" ”

Mother Zhao didn't speak, she lowered her head, she was a slave, just a reminder, with Concubine Zhao here, the master would naturally make a decision.

After all, Ruan Wenxin is a scholar who has entered the Shishi, and he is still proficient in etiquette rules: "Madam, although the county lord of Yuegui is his own sister, he is also a super-grade county lord, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." "Alas, how good would it be if I married the daughter of Prince Yong's mansion? I don't have to worry about it at all in this life.

Concubine Zhao pushed the boat down the river: "Isn't it?" Look at what stupid things you kid said, Wen Xin is still more sensible than you. The guests are also almost here, and the second princess and the lord of Fuxing will also be there to greet them when they arrive. ”

She regretted inviting Shu Yao a little, if Shu Yao didn't come, Qi Yueling's little slut wouldn't suddenly return home, wouldn't she? But how can you not be invited? Don't say that she will come back, she still has to be invited, and if Shu Yao doesn't accept the invitation, they have to worry about being made fun of. Say you didn't have an invite? Everyone will think that their mother and daughter are evil, or they are afraid of refusal. Speaking of which, in the eyes of everyone, it is her bearing that the Lord of Fuxing will be willing to accept the invitation, after all, she is the future head of Prince Yong's mansion.

Being a housewife? Concubine Zhao's nails were pierced in the palm of her hand, but her heart was poked out of a bloody hole. Xia Shuyao will be married next year, and after the wedding, as long as Qi Haoning returns to Beijing, he can get married.

Qi Haoning never gave them letters, and she didn't know when she would come back, she prayed every day that Qi Haoning would never come back.

Concubine Zhao's words appeared in her ears again, perhaps, only by attaching themselves to them, she and her children will have a way out in the future. The man was right, whether they succeeded or not, it would not hurt her.

Concubine Zhao's eyes darkened, and she secretly decided that she could help them, but if there were conditions, they had to get rid of Qi Haoning so that he would never be able to return to the capital. (To be continued......)
