Chapter 31: Another Favorite Concubine and Destroys His Wife
"What's there to be proud of?" Leng Qinglang snorted bitterly: "It's just that he happened to cure the old lady's old illness by relying on a little side door." Do you think the old lady will be able to treat you? I ate closed door soup yesterday, aren't you still interested? ”
Leng Qinghuan turned his face and smiled at her: "Sister didn't say that I forgot, the old lady seems to like her sister very much, why didn't you strike while the iron was hot yesterday, begged the old lady, and agreed to let me reconcile with the prince, so as to make room for you?" ”
Leng Qinglang choked: "It's just a matter of time, do you think how long can you be a princess?" ”
"As long as I'm cold and happy here, you'll be just a concubine after all. When I'm gone, can you be the mistress of this palace or say, what are you proud of? ”
Leng Qinghuan smiled coldly, carried the food box, got into his carriage directly, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and heard Zhiqiu raise his voice behind to persuade her: "Why should Miss be like her, she pretends to be light-hearted, but I am afraid that I will go crazy with jealousy." On the day she was kicked out of the palace, the slave and maid would spit on her face. It's good to relieve the anger of the young lady. ”
Doudou closed the curtain with a "snap", and said angrily: "The prince is also excessive, if you don't go, you won't go, how can you let the second lady go to celebrate your birthday, isn't this deliberately embarrassing you?" ”
Leng Qinghuan lowered his eyes: "What kind of embarrassment is this, what I have to bear in the future is only a hundred times and a thousand times." You have to learn not to take it to heart. ”
Doudou thought of her pregnancy, and was silent for a while, and only after a while did she comfort: "It's good that Miss is not angry, Zhiqiu has such a stinky mouth and a servile face, but it's a pity that she has a good face." ”
Leng Qinghuan also lifted the curtain and looked back, seeing that Zhiqiu should have deliberately dressed up because he went out of the house today, combed his cloud-like bun to be oily and smooth, drew his eyebrows, nodded his lips, and smudged a layer of light rouge on his face, although he was dressed as a maid, he couldn't hide his delicate waist, standing on Leng Qinglang's side, the charm was not inferior at all.
Her heart couldn't help but move, and the bad water gushed out, "hehe" smiled, revealing a cute little tiger tooth: "Murong Qi is really blessed." ”
Doudou listened inexplicably, just looking at his own young lady's smile, his heart was furious, and he intuitively felt that someone was afraid that he was going to suffer.
The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, Doudou jumped out of the carriage first, opened the curtain for Leng Qinghuan, Leng Qinghuan bowed down and got out of the carriage, and saw three or four neat carriages parked at the gate of the Guogong Mansion.
Murong Qi's aunt, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, was standing at the gate of the mansion, directing her subordinates to carry the gift box to the car. She saw Leng Qinghuan. Immediately said hello pleasantly.
"The princess is here?"
Because they meet often, they save red tape, and only bow to her as a gift.
Leng Qinghuan looked at the colorful gifts, and then remembered that the Guogong Mansion and the Earl's Mansion are related by marriage, and it stands to reason that the Mansion should go to the Earl's Mansion to celebrate his birthday today.
Sure enough, the old lady with silver hair and red face was helped out of the house by her grandmother, and when she saw Leng Qinghuan, she paused at her feet.
"I thought you wouldn't be here today. Qi'er went to the Earl's Court by herself and didn't take you with her? ”
Leng Qinghuan shook his head, thinking that if the old lady went to the Earl's Palace, he should not be able to hide it: "Qinghuan is a little unwell today, so the concubine in the mansion will do it for her." ”
The old lady's sharp gaze swept lightly from her face, and she snorted unhappily: "It's better to just get a gift, why bother to send a side concubine to celebrate her birthday." Although the Earl's Court is not glorious, it is also a noble family. ”
Leng Qinghuan didn't answer.
The old lady got into the carriage with a calm face, then lifted the curtain, and ordered angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get in the car?" ”
Leng Qinghuan was a little confused: "Get in the car? ”
"Why are young people still grinding and struggling, so much nonsense?" The old lady lowered the car curtain: "It's not good to dare to love my orders." ”
This is called relying on the old and selling the old. There's no way, Leng Qinghuan still listens obediently.
She climbed into the carriage, turned her face to look at Doudou and the two obstructive guards, and commanded helplessly, "Go back first." ”
Doudou obediently got into the car and returned to the Qiwang Mansion, and at the gate of the mansion, he happened to meet Murong Qi who was going out.
He rode on horseback, turned his face to look at the carriage, and when he didn't see Leng Qinghuan, he couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "What about people?" ”
Doudou followed his own young lady, and his courage was still a little stronger, but now he was alone in the face of this cold-faced rakshasa, his legs trembled, and he stumbled and replied: "Lord Qiqi, my young lady, she, she followed the old lady out." ”
"Out of the house?"
Murong Qi glanced at the two ghost-faced guards coldly, and the guards immediately replied: "Today, the old lady is going to the Earl's Mansion to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and she will go with the princess." ”
Murong Qi's slender sword eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he snorted unhappily: "She did it on purpose, right?" Do you want Qinglang to not come to the stage? ”
Doudou bravely argued: "No, no, it's the old lady......"
Before he finished speaking, Murong Qi had already turned his horse's head, impatiently lifted the horse's reins, and headed directly in the direction of the Earl's Palace.
When the old lady and his entourage arrived at the Earl's Palace, they were immediately greeted by the front and back and invited into the waiting room.
Leng Qinghuan followed behind the old lady, wearing an elegant white Luo skirt, covered with a purple smoke Luo spring shirt, and two gorse hairpins inlaid with amethyst on her head, simple and chic, and gentle and gentle. Everyone's eyes involuntarily roamed around her a few times, and quietly asked the guests next to her which room she was the bride of the Shen family, and she was so prominent.
The old lady of the Earl's Court personally got up to greet her, and the juniors wanted to kneel and kowtow to her birthday, she smiled and excused herself, but she didn't bother to ask, and there were birthday guests one after another. After she exchanged a few words with the old lady, she beckoned her daughter Qi Xiuyun to invite the ladies of the Shen family to eat tea behind the screen.
Xiuyun is the youngest daughter of the old lady's favorite, and she is considered an old woman, so she was spoiled like a baby pimple, and married Shi Mingze, the second son of the Marquis of Jingyuan, as his wife.
Leng Qinghuan glanced at her, wearing a festive peach pink pleated Luo skirt, Bai Die wore a floral cloud gauze shawl, slightly applied fat powder, her eyebrows and eyes drooped, and there was a green aura under her eyes that could not be concealed.
But from her soft voice, it can be seen that she is a soft cotton character.
After settling the daughter of the Shen family and sitting down, the old lady grabbed her hand and asked casually: "Ming Ze came with you today?" ”
Leng Qinghuan saw Mrs. Shen quietly tugging at the sleeve of the old lady behind her.
Xiuyun smiled a little reluctantly: "Mingze has a tolerance today." I really can't shirk it, and I don't have time. ”
The old lady didn't continue to ask, and after a few words of greeting, Xiuyun went to greet the other guests.
The old lady was still a little puzzled: "For such a big event as my mother-in-law's birthday, Ming Ze didn't come over, which is rude." ”
Only then did Mrs. Shen lower her voice and whispered under the old lady's ears.
"Mother doesn't know, the second son of this Hou Mansion is a bad person, and he raised an outer room outside the house, and a few days ago, relying on her pregnancy, she found the Hou Mansion and forced Xiuyun to give her a name.
Xiuyun has not given birth to a boy and a girl in the past few years of marriage, this is a shortcoming, and there is no way to do it, so she also put this outer room in the courtyard and made a concubine room.
Who knew that this concubine's room was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was stirred up in the backyard. And the second son spoiled this outer room to lawlessness, and gave Xiuyun a lot of anger every day. Just look at Xiuyun's face, life must be restless. If it weren't for the fear of the Earl's Palace, the second prince was only afraid that he would spoil his concubine and kill his wife, so he drove Xiuyun back to the Earl's Palace. ”
The old lady was a little surprised: "There is such a thing?" Does your aunt know? ”
"What if you know? Married low, married high, aunt is angry, she has to let Xiuyun climb the Hou Mansion high, even if she is angry now, she can't speak. Just because Xiuyun didn't give birth, the Hou Mansion abandoned her back, and she couldn't say anything. ”
The old lady's eyes wandered around Leng Qinghuan: "No wonder my sister is doing her birthday with such fanfare today, and she specially asked me to invite Qi'er to come to eat and drink, this is to want our Guogong Mansion and Qiwang Mansion to give her face." Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. ”
Leng Qinghuan lowered his head, his heart moved, if this was really the case, Murong Qi sent Leng Qinglang to come to pay respects today, wouldn't the old lady of the Earl's Mansion be a little embarrassed?
