Chapter 365 (Yesterday's Second Shift)
Shu Yao didn't delay early, didn't delay, and calculated the time to go out. The lord of Yuegui and the fourth princess were even more desperate, and let people guard at the gate of the Lianghou Mansion, and when they saw that Shu Yao was about to go out, they released the pigeon and informed them, and they left the palace. Prince Yong's Mansion was close to the palace, and they could arrive at the same time as Shu Yao, even a little earlier.
This is bitter for Concubine Zhao and others. The big housekeeper and Mother Luo were willing to greet them at the main gate early, how many years has the county lord not returned home? Not to mention waiting for an hour or two, even waiting for a day or two at the door, they did not complain.
Gui Bo was impatient when Concubine Zhao kept asking about the exact time when the county lord of Yuegui would come back: "I didn't ask, anyway, I will arrive before the county lord of Fuxing arrives." Where can I ask about the time when the lord of Yuegui is acting? The county lord still has to accompany the Queen Mother to breakfast, who can be sure what arrangements the Queen Mother has temporarily? ”
Concubine Zhao was angry and helpless, and Uncle Gui didn't talk nonsense. Besides, she still has self-knowledge, the Queen Mother has always looked at her unpleasantly, where will she take care of her and Xin'er?
Concubine Zhao's mother's family was the first to arrive among the guests, and they were pleasantly surprised: Aunt and grandmother really give face today, so many people greet you at the door? The thunder in the sky and the uncle on the earth, it is really good.
"Ahem, the girl has a heart, everyone has a heart, let's go in." Master Zhao had a straight face. The maiden family in the side room is not the head of the family, the sister has not been corrected for many years, and he can't get up in Prince Yong's mansion.
But today, not only the sister-in-law and nephews and nieces are coming out, but even the mother and son of Concubine Tian, other concubines and concubines who hide in the courtyard all the year round and recite scriptures, as well as the big housekeeper who is rarely seen on weekdays, and Mother Luo in the courtyard of the prince are all dispatched, isn't it Prince Yong's intention to correct his sister-in-law? So the girl is going to give her mother's face a lot?
Concubine Zhao is annoying. I am not in the mood to pay attention to the three brothers of my mother's family and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law who are not greedy enough to make up for her. There is also a group of nieces and nephews who are not in trouble.
just casually pointed to the garden where a mother-in-law led them to watch a play and hold a banquet today. So as not to embarrass her face here, the poor family of her mother is a big fatal wound for her married daughter.
"What? You're not here to greet us? The third lady of the Zhao family has always lacked roots in her head, so she directly opened her mouth to ask.
"Greeting you? Why? Qi Yuexin, who also had little tendons, immediately replied, with a look of disgust, if it weren't for the uselessness of the Zhao family, how could the concubine be a side room? The first princess has been dead for so many years, and her father still refuses to straighten out her mother. These so-called uncles don't help at all, they will only come to the door to fight the autumn breeze all day long. Over the years, I don't know how much silver Lu Dao got from his mother, which should have been added to her dowry.
"You...... How do you talk to your elders? The Zhao family's face couldn't hold it, no matter how bad the Zhao family was, it was Qi Yuexin's maternal uncle. Could it be that the Luo family will still treat her as a niece? Especially the third child of the Luo family, who has been paying more and more attention to their Zhao family in recent years.
"Okay, stop me, big brother, you go in first, the county lord of Yuegui is going back to the house today, and we have to welcome the second princess and the county lord of Fuxing." Concubine Zhao lowered her voice and shouted. Other guests have already arrived, if they see her mother's family arguing with Qi Yuexin here. It's a shame.
The lord of Yuegui? Everyone in the Zhao family immediately lost their voices, that is the main owner of Prince Yong's Mansion, if they offended her, can they still come to Prince Yong's Mansion in the future? Not only that, but behind the lord of Yuegui stood the queen mother and the emperor, who didn't know that the emperor now loves the lord of Yuegui more than most of his princesses?
Master Zhao thought for a while: "We...... Let's still be here to welcome the noble county lord, and the Fuxing county lord. Sister, next month your nephew gets married, can you help invite the lord of Fuxing? "Lord Yuegui has always been at odds with his sister and niece, and with his understanding of Qi Yuexin, he fully believes that she will push her sister into the pond back then. But the county lord of Fuxing has not yet entered the door, and he has not known much about the capital for many years, so he should not have any disgust with Qi Yuexin's mother and daughter, right? I just don't know if she will believe the rumors that her sister treats Qi Haoning as her own and give face.
Qi Yuexin snorted coldly: "Dreaming, right? Does the Zhao family have such a big face? Although she is very dissatisfied with Shu Yao, she is the lord of Fuxing who is highly praised by the emperor, and the "Fuman Garden" is being built not far away, what can she do if she is not convinced? She really can't understand, why does a girl in the market have so many things? Plum blossom fonts, peerless embroidery, painting, and Go, all of which are beyond their reach, not to mention dancing on lotus leaves, and what embroidery needles can be used to save the emperor from the hands of assassins?
Demon, that person is a demon, one day God will clean her up, Qi Yuexin can only comfort herself like this.
Master Zhao's youngest daughter was unhappy: "You are also the granddaughter of the Zhao family, the lord of Fuxing can participate in your homecoming banquet, why can't you participate in my brother's marriage banquet?" It's just a concubine, what kind of madness? If you have the ability, you can also make a county lord? ”
This woman was taken to Prince Yong's mansion before, and she hadn't even seen Qi Haoning's face, just because Luo's mother was ordered to say to Concubine Zhao, "Miss Zhao Jiabiao must abide by the rules in the mansion, don't bring the reputation of the prince and several girls in the palace" After that, they were all packed and sent back to the Zhao family, and they were also sarcastically ridiculed by Qi Yuexin, and they had already been angry in their hearts.
With a "snap", Qi Yuexin slapped the cousin with a flick of her hand, and everyone was stunned on the spot, including several guests who were walking over.
Concubine Zhao died in a hurry, and she also resented her niece's vicious words and didn't know what to do, but this is not the time for calculation and infighting, no matter how her mother's family is, she relies on her, and she can't break it, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have made up for them in vain for so many years.
"Alright, big brother, can you go in quickly? Xin'er and I have lost face today, and it will not do you any good. Concubine Zhao looked at Master Zhao with a hint of threat in her eyes.
Master Zhao grabbed his daughter, who came back to her senses and was about to go crazy, glared at Qi Yuexin fiercely, and took the Zhao family inside. The Zhao family still has to rely on Concubine Zhao's mother and son, not the time to turn their faces.
Ruan Wenxin, who was standing behind Qi Yuexin, frowned, this new daughter-in-law is so fierce! Are you pretending to be gentle and demure on weekdays? However, he is a poor son marrying a noble daughter-in-law, and he is already inferior, but he is a little dissatisfied in his heart. He didn't think about it, how could his own affectionate style in front of Qi Yuexin not pretend? Half a catty to eight taels only.
……
The second princess, Sima Yan, and Mrs. Yu Ma Ling'er came together, and they were very satisfied when they saw Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin come out to greet them, but then they felt that something was wrong, they came out to greet them, there is no need to call out so many concubines, concubines, and slaves, right? Obviously, she didn't come specifically to greet her, such a big formation, could it be that someone from the palace was coming? When did the Queen Mother give Qi Yuexin face like this?
Or is it the Lord of Fuxing? She is the quasi-princess of Prince Yong's mansion and the future housewife. Sima Yan clenched her fist fiercely, this was the biggest pain in her heart, although she was now the second princess.
"Second princess, Mrs. Yu, please inside, the garden is very lively, most of the guests have arrived" Qi Yuexin greeted Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er warmly.
Ma Ling'er didn't speak, just nodded, she looked down on Qi Yuexin more and more, if it weren't for Yu Zhengran's repeated explanations, even her grandfather and aunt Guifei asked her to give Concubine Zhao's mother and daughter a little face to keep in touch, she wouldn't want to come over today. Even Sima Yan is here, I really don't know what the Ma family and Zhengran like about these two mothers and daughters? The unfavored side concubines and concubines, can they help the second prince's cousin with anything?
Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er were about to take a step when they heard a maid singing: "The four princesses have arrived, the lord of Yuegui has arrived, the lord of Fuxing has arrived, and the three girls of the Loyal and Righteous General's Mansion have arrived." ”
Sima Yan and the others paused, and they both looked out of the door, the fourth princess and the county lord of Yuegui hated Qi Yuexin the most, how could they come? Did the Queen Mother really give Qi Yuexin face like this this time?
The carriage in the palace entered the mansion directly, the fourth princess and Qi Yueling got out of the carriage, and the crowd knelt down to greet them, and walked towards Shu Yaoyi, who had just stepped into the door, Qi Yueling smiled like a flower: "Sister Yao'er, I specially went back to the house to receive you, is there any surprise?" I'll show you around later. ”
Shu Yao took off her hat and handed it to Mo Jin beside her, and said with a smile: "I'm surprised, happy...... Hehe" looked at the two small faces that quickly drooped down, and quickly made up, "Of course more." "These two girls are almost 12 years old, and they are still innocent, which is good.
Qi Yueling and the others immediately flew up again, and the fourth princess pouted and teased Qi Yueling: "You yourself are very unfamiliar with the palace, can you still take us?" Don't get lost together. ”
Lord Yuegui looked smuggling: "So what, I have Uncle Gui and Mother Luo." ”
Gui Bo, who was named, smiled with a wrinkled face: "That's that, the small ones are all arranged, and I promise not to get lost." The princess and the two county lords, oh, and the three girls from the General's Mansion, there is no problem if you want to take a sedan chair or walk, you can also sit and walk for a while, there are the most flowers in the house, and it is the best at this time. In Zhiyuan Garden, Mother Luo and the others also prepared meals and various snacks, which were liked by the princess and the two county lords. ”
Shu Yao was stunned, what she liked, the servants in the palace also knew the way? Immediately realized, it must have been told by Qi Yueling.
Qi Yueling winked playfully: "I said that I came back to entertain Sister Yao'er on purpose, so naturally I have to be thoughtful, right?"
When Sima Yan saw the three of them talking to themselves, she hated her very much, and she still couldn't understand why the fourth princess and Qi Yueling suddenly became estranged from her. If it weren't for them being so good with Xia Shuyao, Qi Haoning wouldn't have liked Xia Shuyao, right? They didn't know each other before.
Suddenly, a trace of fierceness flashed in Sima Yan's eyes, thinking of the secret conversation between Ma Guifei and the second prince that she overheard that day, she snorted coldly: Xia Shuyao, I can't become the princess of Prince Yong, don't think about it. (To be continued......)
