Chapter 28: The Woman in the Palace
"Hiss" around the gasps came and went.
Song Yi was not surprised by other people's reactions.
Just when everyone was inquiring about her, Song Yi also secretly looked at the people in the house.
I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I look at it, there are really a lot of people in the house.
Sitting in the center of the room was a graceful and luxurious old woman with a plump body.
Xiangrui, Zilin, two acquaintances, and an old mother, are next to the old woman.
You don't have to guess to know that the old lady is the old lady of the real palace, Du Ruomei.
The old lady came down, and on the left sat a noble lady. Although the traces of time can no longer be concealed on his face, his bearing is not small. There was a young girl sitting beside her, graceful, thirteen or fourteen years old.
On the other side, there was also a noble lady, but there were two young girls sitting beside her. One big and one young, one twelve or thirteen years old, one seven or eight years old. The two should be sisters, and they can see the clues between their eyebrows.
Although no one introduced Song Yi to her, she could still guess it. On the left should be the eldest lady Wang and the third lady Zhu Chenxi, on the right is the second lady Cao, and the fourth lady Zhu Shanlei and Zhu Shanhan.
Song Yi didn't dare to let people see that he was looking around, and after taking a look, he lowered his eyes.
The old lady Du Shi is not as rare and strange as others, even when she sees Song Yi's appearance, she is very calm.
"Mother, why is this person so dark, so ugly" It was the fifth lady Zhu Shanhan who spoke in a milky voice, looking innocent.
After all, it is an 8-year-old girl, and when it comes out of her mouth, others only regard it as a child's words.
"Really. Look at this girl, how small she is, and her face is dark. It's like our Han'er, the tiger is very cute" is the second lady who is quick to talk, she was born in a Jiangnan businessman's family, and she is not as stable as the wife of a big family.
However, no one is surprised.
The displeasure in the old lady's eyes flashed, and she didn't know what to say to the second daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the second child's life and death to make money and do business, she would not agree to let this businessman's daughter enter the mansion. Fu is the daughter of an upstart by chance, and she has no self-cultivation.
"Okay, it's okay for children to be ignorant and talk nonsense. You are a mother, how can you compare your daughter to a girl. Our young lady in the palace, can you still be treated badly? ”
As soon as the old lady spoke, Cao's was like a frosted eggplant.
As soon as Wang saw that Cao was bored, he fell further into the ground.
"Hehe, I said brother and sister, you should also change your personality to compare with others. The five girls are the daughters of our palace, and they have always been loved by the old lady. Comparing it to a girl, isn't it a waste of the young lady in our house? ”
"Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear your words. The old lady likes us Han'er, and it is not good for us to be born and raised as a husband and wife. I just said casually, the old lady said that I forget it, why did you fall into the well? ”
The Cao family relied on his mother's money on weekdays, wore gold and silver, and showed off his might in front of the Wang family.
The Wang family and the Cao family are constantly fighting openly and secretly on weekdays.
Seeing that, the two daughters-in-law are going to fight again. The old lady Du Ruomei was annoyed.
"Alright, shut up. Fighting all day long, where is your real palace? If you don't make the palace into a miasma, are you unwilling? ”
The old lady became angry, and both the Cao and Wang families were very afraid.
So the two of them could only stop and didn't dare to make a sound.
Fortunately, although the two daughters-in-law are not fuel-efficient lamps, Du's words are still very effective.
Du Ruomei was still a little proud in her heart, but her face was still gloomy.
Knowing that her mother's reckless words just now made the old lady unhappy, Zhu Shanlei secretly muttered in her sister Zhu Shanhan's ear.
Zhu Shanhan, who heard her sister's order, blinked her eyes wide, and pretended to be afraid and said to her mother Cao, "Mother, did Han'er say the wrong thing to provoke Mother to be reprimanded by the ancestor?" ”
Zhu Shanhan used his weakness and helplessness to use three points of strength, which was more infectious.
As soon as Du Shi saw it, he immediately softened, "Good girl, the ancestor is not angry." Old Ancestor just didn't like your mother comparing my precious grandson to others. Let Han'er be scared, come to the ancestor quickly."
Zhu Shanhan cowardly came to the old lady's side, "Is what the ancestor said true?" Don't be mad at your mother, okay? ”
Looking at the little granddaughter's two big wet eyes, Du Shi was distressed, where would he say anything bad.
"Okay, don't talk about it."
The old lady was coaxed by the fifth lady in a few words, Cao's was proud, and Wang's was angry.
The two daughters-in-law had a quarrel just now, and Du Shi was in no mood to do the next thing.
only briefly asked Song Yi some questions, and then stopped.
"Okay, just read it. Since the prince has chosen you to serve you closely, you will have to serve the prince well in the future. The prince is the mainstay of our Qianchao, and he can't afford to miss a little. ”
"However, I think you are an honest girl. In the future, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask my mother Yin more, she is the old man around me, and she is also the mother who grew up watching the prince since she was a child."
"Slaves and Slaves Obey"
The old lady asked her to come to Qingsong Courtyard to find Yin's mother more often, did she mean something else?
These people never speak straightforwardly, they talk around the bush, Song Yi is used to being obedient and listening.
However, this is just her guess, and Song Yi can only be.
Song Yi left, the Wang family and the Cao family had no fun, and the old lady was also a little tired, so she left with her children.
When everyone left, the old lady who was still aggrieved just now opened her eyes, and there was a tired look.
"What do you think of that girl?"
Yin on the side thought for a while and said, "It looks like a heartless person." I don't know, how could the prince take a fancy to her? ”
Yin has followed the old lady for decades and knows the old lady's attitude towards the true king.
Over the years, openly and secretly, they have been sending people to Wentao Garden, but each time they have been rejected by the real king for various reasons. Even if they finally sent people into Wentao Garden, they were quickly killed by them for various reasons.
Therefore, Wen Taoyuan is now the only place in the palace where they can't stretch out their hands.
It is also a piece of the old lady's heart.
Yin knew what the old lady thought, so she would answer like this.
"Hmph, that. If he hadn't been against me, how would I have met a? ”
"Old lady" Yin hurriedly stopped Du Shi and looked at the other subordinates who were preparing for the old lady to rest. No one hears the bed-making, the water-fetching.
"Be careful that the wall has ears" The Yin family knew the old lady's hatred for the true king, over the years, they had attacked the true king countless times, not only failed every time, but also made the true king's wings gradually plump.
Now, it's no longer time for them to do whatever they want. Sometimes the Yin family is really afraid that the old lady still can't recognize the situation clearly.
"What are you afraid of, there is no one else here. Didn't we have a long time ago with him? Over the years, they have tacitly understood each other. But we are careful, and the seed of iniquity will not find our handle."
"Old lady, then be careful," Yin reminded carefully.
"Xiao Yin, I hate it so much. Not only did that rob my man, but even his grandson robbed me of my son's title. I can't wait for him to die a good death."
The hatred in the old lady's eyes gushed out.
Yin didn't know what the old lady really thought in her heart, she knew that as long as the old lady called her "Xiao Yin", it meant that she had something to arrange for herself at the moment.
"Don't worry, old lady. Over the years, we have not been idle. We have people on hand who can help us."
"Not enough, Xiao Yin. There are no of our people in Wentao Garden, and our hands can't reach in. So, that girl, we must fight for it."
The old lady's words, Yin naturally understood.
"Don't worry, old lady. I'll take care of it."
"Well, that's good. Xiao Yin, you've worked hard all these years. We're all old, I still have the eldest and the second, and you don't have any relatives around you, will you be sad? ”
When Yin Shi heard this, his heart tightened, and he didn't know what the old lady had planned, "Old lady, hello, I'll be fine"
Du Ruomei nodded, "Xiao Yin, I never doubt your sincerity. But I can't help but think too much about you. Your son is still on an errand in our outer court, right? Otherwise, transfer him back to the house, and have a care by your side."
Yin's face stiffened, her only son, where is this for her, obviously the old lady still has scruples about her, using her son as a hostage, let herself help her well.
The Yin family was a little sad, but they could only kowtow to the old lady to thank him.
Du Ruomei was relieved at this time, turned around and went into the house to rest.
