Chapter 107
One hundred and seven
On the third day after marriage, as the royal daughter-in-law, she could only sit at home for two hours, and she didn't even have a meal.
The royal family gave a large number of rewards to the crown princess's family, in addition to gold and silver, there were also land estates, and a position for the crown princess's third uncle, Zhou Jiyun.
Immediately, the trend of public opinion in the imperial capital was the crown prince's newlywed affection, respect for his wife, and his newlywed for half a month, and he had only stayed in the Jiefang Palace of the princess of the East Palace.
The royal family's every move has always been the focus of discussion in high society, and the biggest hot topic now is, of course, the newly married crown prince couple.
The candidate for the crown princess was already very unexpected when she gave the marriage, except for a few people who knew the inside story, most of them were very surprised, the granddaughter of the princess's mansion who had lost power, and the children of the princess who had not yet inherited the title, the age difference was more than that of the crown prince, although the identity on the face was barely worthy of the crown prince, but if you really want to talk about it, her family background and age, no matter how you look at it, she is not a popular candidate for the crown princess.
There are many school-age eldest daughters of the prince's family in the imperial capital, together with the princess's mansion, the prince's mansion of the opposite sex, etc., how many of the proudest girls in the imperial capital have delayed marriage for the prince, and they have refused to get engaged, dragging their age!
I didn't expect it to be this young lady who didn't show anything at all to have this creation, and this crown princess, before the marriage, because she was still young, less than fifteen years old, did not appear frequently, and appeared in a wide range of social occasions in the imperial capital, often taken into the palace by her grandmother or aunt, or walked around in close people's homes, and her own circle of contacts was relatively small, and she only had close contacts with a few girls.
Therefore, the crown princess is quite mysterious in the public opinion of the imperial capital, and everyone's private discussion is not expected.
However, now it seems that the crown princess is not very outstanding, and after marrying for half a month, she only got a quiet evaluation from the palace concubines, which means that she is not very sociable?
And in the public opinion of the imperial capital, the prince has a famous and high-profile favorite concubine Wu Fangfei, in the past half a month, the crown princess has not actually fought with Wu Fangfei?
This Concubine Wu is not a master who can endure it! From her poisoning to the death of Concubine Duan, it can be seen that she is definitely a character who is willing to turn the waves, and countless gossip women and men in the imperial capital are waiting to see the young princess enter the palace and fight with the domineering favorite concubine!
It's been half a month! It's still calm, the princess is too useless! It's too quiet, right?
Otherwise, Concubine Wu is too useless, you are a favorite concubine, the prince only sleeps with the princess for half a month, you don't jump up? Are you worthy of the word "favorite concubine"?
Gossip and discussion of this kind of thing is always the fastest, and it doesn't take long for it to reach the ears of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess has just drunk a mouthful of new tea and immediately squirts out.
"It's so fresh!" The eldest princess rolled her eyes: "Come, let me drive back to the palace, I have to go and see our sister-in-law, so quiet and smooth, can be a model of women's virtue, I have to learn." ”
Grandma, what are you studying...... Even the female officials of the princess's mansion couldn't help but slander themselves.
The eldest princess entered the palace and went straight to the East Palace, and the eldest princess took Zhou Baolu's hand when she entered the door: "Sister-in-law, you have suffered!" ”
Zhou Baolu's face was inexplicable: "What's wrong with you?" ”
The eldest princess sings and writes well, but she can't squeeze out her tears, but her expression is still sad: "I know this is a place to eat people, you are bullied......" I told her all the public opinion in the imperial capital.
Zhou Baolu couldn't cry or laugh, and said casually: "Come on, where did you get those words, where do you still eat people, and I still eat people in my feelings?" It's not that I don't go out to the palace to shop, I also go to the concubines every once in a while to talk to them, and I have also been there twice for Concubine Qi, where don't I go out? But in the end, it's my father's concubine, what does it look like when I go to the door every day? Besides, there are a lot of things in the East Palace, I just took over, and I have to sort it out. ”
The eldest princess sat down casually: "Is it really okay?" Don't hide it from me, if there is anything, if it is inconvenient for you to do it, I will stand up for you! In this palace, I really haven't been afraid of anyone. ”
Zhou Baolu smiled: "Yes, yes, you are your aunt, who dares to mess with you?" Naturally, they are all afraid of you. I'm really a little busy, your brother handed over the East Palace Inner Treasury, didn't I count it, plus my own dowry, I have been reading the account books for the past two days, I really don't have the material to do these trivial things, it's annoying. Plus that favorite concubine refuses to settle down, I still have to deal with it, what else can there be? You don't know your brother's temper, where is the real loss. ”
"What's there to deal with?" The eldest princess scoffed: "If you are restless, you will fight out, and she is not the only one who can sit in the position of the prince's side concubine, one is restless, one is restless, and two are restless, and two are restless, and you can always change to a safe one." ”
Sure enough, it's a brother and sister, and they all speak in a tone, who cares what reason you think, in short, you don't satisfy me, make me uncomfortable, I'll change someone who can make me comfortable, there are so many people under my hands, and I can't pick out one who can make people comfortable?
However, Zhou Baolu didn't want to change, in her opinion, Concubine Wu was a good seedling, and she could use it if she dealt with it, which was much easier than changing people.
She didn't bother to talk about this with the eldest princess, she just smiled and said, "What, what does it mean now, I'm not worthy of your brother, so I don't even go out of the door?" ”
It's really, it's just not worthy, that's already the rightful crown princess, as for being so ashamed that she doesn't go out? Zhou Baolu just thought it was funny, and then she suddenly had an idea, thought about it, and pulled the eldest princess: "Come, listen to me." ”
The eldest princess immediately came over with her ears, and quickly nodded her head again and again: "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll do it." ”
Zhou Baolu instructed her a few more words, sent her out, and went back to continue to look through the account books and continue to be annoying.
Alas, this kind of thing is really annoying!
Zhou Baolu has always been a master who can only spend silver and will not earn silver, her mother is not in good health, she has not taught her, Zeng himself is also a loose master, because of the husband who married, I don't know where, there is a steady stream of silver, and she is more and more rich in gold and silver, and she doesn't take silver seriously at all, even if she wants to teach Zhou Baolu, she can't teach anything.
Zhou Baolu is really dumbfounded, her own dowry is still unclear, she just got married, Xiao Hongcheng threw the prince's private treasury to her, and she said, I can only rest assured if I hand it over to you!
Isn't that embarrassing?
Zhou Baolu was depressed, and Sakura walked in with a smile: "Niangniang, Mrs. handed over the post, and I want to enter the palace to see you!" ”
Zhou Baolu jumped up! Ouch, there is no endless road, this sleepy thing is about sending pillows, why did she touch it, isn't this a ready-made good hand? Just right!
Sakura was taken aback, how much does Miss miss Madame? Excited, Zhou Baolu had already ordered people in a stack: "Announce quickly, enter the palace immediately." ”
He sent someone again: "Give me a change of clothes, and immediately send someone to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and tell him that I have something important to look for him." ”
Not to mention that the people in the East Palace were taken aback by the princess's style, that is, they used to serve Zhou Baolu, and the four big girls such as Sakura, Zhu Tang, Lily of the Valley, and other four big girls who were also brought into the palace for this big wedding were also puzzled.
It is not unusual for the young lady to miss her mother, but it is strange to be so excited. Sakura exchanged glances with the sisters and went to invite Xiao Hongcheng in person.
And Xiao Hongcheng listened to Sakura's words, but he was not nervous, and his first thought was that Zhou Baolu must have some tricks. However, the daughter-in-law's face must be given, Xiao Hongcheng immediately stopped the discussion, and said to the officials of the East Palace: "The crown princess's mother, Mrs. Zhou, entered the palace to ask for peace, and I should also go and say hello." ”
Everyone praised the prince for being polite and humble.
Back to Jiefang Palace, Zhou Baolu had already changed into formal clothes and was waiting for Chen in the main hall, and when he saw Xiao Hongcheng coming in, he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately pulled him and muttered.
The people below naturally couldn't hear what the couple were biting, only to see Zhou Baolu's eyebrows dancing and talking quickly, while Xiao Hongcheng smiled and nodded frequently, obviously agreeing very much.
At first glance, the two of them don't know who they want to conspire with.
Xiao Hongcheng whispered: "I saw it in Jiangnan before, your brother is a good hand, I didn't expect that your mother is so hidden, does the Chen family still have such a ability?" But I see, your uncle doesn't have the ability. ”
"Hey, where did my uncle's money come from?" Zhou Baolu wondered, Xiao Hongcheng said that his uncle didn't have this ability, so he really didn't have this ability.
However, the two just exchanged glances, and before they could explain it, they had already come in to report that the prince of Zhenguo had arrived in the East Palace, Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "Let's go back and talk about this, I'll pick up my mother first, you sit." ”
When Chen saw Zhou Baolu coming down the steps, he looked terrified, and wanted to perform a national salute: "How dare you work as a mother!" ”.
Zhou Baolu hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Why should my mother be so polite to me, even if I leave the pavilion, I will be your daughter." ”
Chen was naturally pleased, Zhou Baolu looked at her a few times, but she had never seen her have such a good complexion, her face was bloody, her eyes were bright, and even her skin looked shiny.
Chen's lifelong obstacle is actually no son, lifeless and unreliable, but now, although there is no son, her biological daughter has become the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future, and she will not be helpless for life.
Who would dare to do anything to the mother of the crown princess?
So since the marriage, although the Chen family is also worried about the days after her daughter enters the palace, in the end it is obviously relaxed, and the depression in her heart is resolved, the whole person feels different, and her body is gradually getting better.
In addition, now that Aunt Gu is in charge of Zhilan Courtyard, she respects her in everything, serves in her house every day, and manages everything in an orderly manner, and the Chen family lives a comfortable life, which can be seen from the complexion.
But at this moment, Chen looked a little worried or two.
Zhou Baolu affectionately took her inside, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my mother these days, I'm really worried, but I'm busy these days, I thought that I would be idle in a few days, and Xuan's mother entered the palace to talk, but I didn't think that my mother would hand over the post." ”
He also asked his grandmother how his grandfather was, how his father was, and how his family was, and said, "The prince was in front of me before, and I heard that my mother had come to the palace, and I came back. ”
When Chen heard this, his face suddenly became a little more panicked: "This ...... How can this be deserved, Your Highness's golden body. ”
Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "Although the national law is in front, is there a natural reason and human ethics?" Although the prince is noble, he is also your son-in-law, just say hello, what's the matter. ”
Chen grabbed Zhou Baolu's hand and said in an unsteady voice: "It's just ...... It's just that the prince is like this...... values the harem, but I'm afraid of causing discussion. ”
Hey? Zhou Baolu was a little surprised, her mother's words, it sounded a bit problematic, this 'valuing the harem and causing discussions' was not quite like her mother's tone.
