091 Concubine Yanyan
Wang Jingshu's body is like a day by day, perhaps it is Wang Lingyi's company that makes her feel happy, and her illness is also recovering quickly, and it is almost the ninth day of November in a blink of an eye, and there is still one day before King Ning welcomes Chen as a side concubine.
The whole Ning Wang Courtyard is very festive, the big red ribbon lanterns are hung all over the courtyard, the palace people are busy going in and out, and the new courtyard is properly arranged, because the princess is sick, so many of the arrangements are ordered by King Ning himself. Everywhere shows the favor of the new side concubine.
Zhao Zhaoxun stood at the door of his courtyard, watching the courtyard in front of him come and go, inevitably disappointed, and whispered to the palace maid beside him, "It turns out that the side concubine is such a pomp," the corner of his mouth pulled out a smile of envy, "I heard that this pomp was proposed by the new side concubine, it is simpler." β
"Hey, what's the name of the new side concubine? I'm so forgetful that I forget what I say. β
Now the most face-saving palace maid in front of her is Qingmei, which was allocated to her by the Shang Palace Bureau, and she looks quite loyal, which mentions the first-class palace maid in the courtyard. Qingmei hugged her, "Back to the master, surnamed Chen, Concubine Chen." He added, "I heard that the prince called her Yanyan." The word 'Yan Yan' came out, and the palace maid in private called her jokingly, Yan Yan's side concubine. β
Zhao Wannian is pregnant, the prince just came to sit in the house, nothing else, the grace is not as good as in the past, and there will be a favored new concubine in the future, I am afraid that she will be left behind. Then he said, "They are quite bold, I am afraid that they will ...... when the princess is sick and can't take care of Ning Wangyuan" and sighed lightly, I don't know if it is for themselves or because of the princess, there is a sadness between the eyebrows, "In this palace, it is as cold as this winter." β
She is talking about human affection, people's hearts. But the partial Qingmei couldn't understand her words, thinking that she was cold, "Master go back to the house, you should take good care of your body, the princess instructed you to allocate silver carbon for your use earlier." β
That was the princess's kindness, but Zhao Wannian had never used it so far, and she didn't want people to think that she was pampered and arrogant. The jade hand caressed the slightly bulging lower abdomen, she was dressed thickly, and the lower abdomen was more obvious. Fortunately, she has a child and has more hope, so she will not be too lonely in the future. A trace of grief flashed in his eyes, and only two words came out of his mouth, "Come back." β
Zhao Wan wanted to turn around and go back to the house, but Guo Fengyi happened to walk by, "Yo, Zhao Xun is also looking at the happy events in the courtyard, I thought you were resting in the house to raise the baby." β
Guo Yizhu's perfunctory salute asked Zhao Wannian to frown, but he did not say anything to express his dissatisfaction. Guo Yizhu, who was grounded before, was released two days ago, and this is still a good thing for the princess to say for her, after all, the new concubine is about to enter the door, so that the new concubine can recognize the concubine room in the back house. These words were very popular with the prince, so he waved his hand and asked the palace people to lift the ban. In this way, Guo Yizhu can talk in front of Zhao Wannian this time, "My sister heard that the new side concubine who is about to enter the door is very favored by the prince, and this will make our life even more sad in the future." β
"I don't have the blessing of Sister Zhaoxun, I have a child, and I can spend the long years after spending the past with me in the future."
The more envious she became, the more uneasy Zhao Wannian became, protected her stomach, took two steps back, and the green plum on the side hugged her deadly. Guo Yizhu laughed again and again, "What, my sister thinks I'm going to harm your child?" Then he was lonely again, and said sincerely and sincerely: "I myself have lost a child, I know what it feels like, how can I harm your child?" β
For a moment, Zhao Wan thought it was true, she had also heard about the Guo family in front of the Queen Mother before, King Ning's first child was ordered to be beaten off by the queen, and she wanted to open her mouth to comfort her, but she heard Guo Yizhu say: "It's the new side concubine that Ming'er welcomes in, and my sister should be on guard." As we all know, the princess is virtuous and will not hurt your children, but the side concubine is not necessarily. β
This argument is very incomprehensible, Zhao Wannian pretended to be puzzled, "Oh? How did you say that? β
"This princess is not favored and the whole courtyard knows it, and only her virtue is left to preach, so she will not hurt your children, not to mention that all the children call her a mother-in-law, and the side concubine is not necessarily, it is only a matter of time before she is so favored to have children, the name of the eldest son and eldest daughter, how can her children want to occupy one, right? If she gives birth to the eldest son in the future, the princess can be the son of the concubine and become the son of the concubine, and she can be crowned a king and knight in the future. So won't your child be a stumbling block for her? β
This is not bad, so that Zhao Wannian can't find a trace of mistakes, the princess has no children and can be the son of the concubine and become the son. The side concubine can be written into the royal jade. What did he think in his heart, he still smiled on his face, "My sister said too much, I'm tired, I'll go back first." β
She turned around and went back to the house, not dragging mud and water. And Guo Yizhu saw that she was not interested, so he also returned, and went around the new courtyard being arranged with great interest and looked at the grandeur there. As soon as I went in, I thought it was a magnificent decoration, but it was like a delicate northern style, and I heard that the decorations in the courtyard were all the dowry of Concubine Chen, and the concubine could have a dowry, except for the name and treatment, it was almost the same as the princess.
"Hey, why is Miss Wang here?"
Wang Lingyi was staring at the layout here for her cousin, and when she looked at the person's dress, she knew that it was a woman in the prince's mansion, like a Fengyi grade, and asked for peace sideways, "I'm here for the princess to stare at the layout." β
"Hey, if you want me to say that the princess is really pitiful, it is so easy to get well, and I have to worry about the happy event of the concubine entering the mansion." Guo Yizhu followed with such a sentence, "I really feel unworthy for the princess." β
This courtyard is arranging palace people coming and going, Wang Lingyi is not worthy of her cousin like her, she can't say this, "This is what the princess should do." My cousin is a princess, and that's her duty. β
Guo Yizhu didn't think so, with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, that's the princess's duty." I didn't say no, it's just that I'm working hard for the princess, isn't it? This is a serious illness, if the body is good, I am afraid that the new side concubine will also be uneasy. β
Wang Lingyi saw clearly that this was a difficult lord, "This Wang clan often teaches us, loyal ministers. The princess is a courtier, and she wants to be loyal to the prince, how dare she say a word of hard work? β
has said this, Guo Yizhu is speechless, does she want to say that the princess is not a courtier?
turned around and said another polite word, and then found an excuse and left.
Soon Wang Lingyi also returned to the princess's courtyard, and as soon as she entered the inner room, she complained to Wang Jingshu angrily, Wang Jingshu was still resting on the bed, "Cousin, that Fengyi, what's the matter?" The mouth never stopped. β
When Wang Jingshu heard that it was Fengyi, she was not interested, "You don't have to pay attention to her." She is always willing to sow discord, and I don't want to pay attention to her. β
But there was one thing she was right about. You are just getting better, and the prince will greet the concubine, I really feel cold for you," Wang Lingyi sighed lightly, "It seems that this day is ...... home"
Wang Jingshu warmed her hands, "What's there to chill about?" I and the prince are kings and ministers, and it is enough for me to be his courtiers," a serious illness, she saw more than before, "He is in charge of who he wants to accept and what concubines he wants." β
Wang Lingyi was speechless for a while. She still remembers that the poems she read when she was a child, how beautiful 'I wish to be a person with one heart, and the white head will not be separated' is false and illusory after all, "Cousin, are you willing?" β
Wang Jingshu was silent, just warming her hands.
The next day, before dawn, the courtyard was blowing and beating, the team of welcoming relatives was about to set off, Wang Jingshu forced her weak body to get out of bed, and the palace people dressed her in auspicious clothes, and her long black hair was coiled up and she wore a symbol of identity.
At this moment, the main courtyard is very lively. Zhu Pei was dressed neatly, as festive as when he married the concubine, but the joy in his eyes was different from that day, and this time he was sincere. And that time...... Wang Jingshu is reluctant to recall the past.
Although everything is simple, several eldest princesses and princesses still came to congratulate, Wang Jingshu, as the hostess of King Ning's courtyard, has to greet everyone attentively and thoughtfully.
At this time, there is no need to congratulate the princess, even if you congratulate the princess. These people got together, and most of them talked to Wang Jingshu, she had just been seriously ill, and most of them greeted her.
Wang Jingshu thanked them one by one, and asked everyone to go to a quiet place to speak. She's very busy tonight, and she doesn't have much time to greet them.
But Zhu Pei was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on, so he instructed two words, "If you are tired, go and rest." When the sedan chair comes in, I'll call you again. β
She should be there for this happy event, otherwise it should be hers when it gets out, she will say that she can't tolerate people, and she can't make a little stubble at this time, "It's okay, the concubine is fine." β
I don't know how long I was busy, Wang Jingshu was playing and playing and joking, counting the hours little by little, and it was close to noon when a voice came from outside, "Lord, princess." The concubine's palanquin has entered the imperial cityβ"
Zhu Pei was happy and immediately wanted to greet him, just like marrying the concubine that day, but this was not in accordance with the rules. was dragged by the quick-eyed Princess Heya, and whispered in a low voice, "Fourth nephew, you can't go out this time." You are a concubine, not a princess. Now in this scene, I have to give the princess some face. β
There was no way, Zhu Pei glanced at the princess standing there, and finally stopped.
However, this minute and second made him feel so long.
It's easy to boil until the side concubine's sedan chair enters the prince's office, and it's easy to boil until the side concubine's sedan chair enters the Ning Wangyuan and stops, crosses the brazier and crosses the saddle, and kneels in front of the prince and princess to serve tea. This is the rule, the side concubine is the side concubine, there is no red hijab, let alone worship, only kneeling on the ground to give tea to the princess and princess.
Concubine Chen knelt on the ground and gave tea to the prince first, "Please drink tea." β
Zhu Pei was reluctant to embarrass the beautiful concubine, took the teacup and took a sip of tea directly, and gave the gift in a decent manner.
She gave Wang Jingshu tea again, "Please drink tea for the princess." β
This is the second time Wang Jingshu has seen Miss Chen, no, now it's time to be a side concubine. After all, she entered the door of King Ning's house, I don't know if she is willing or resentful? finally took the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Sister doesn't have to be polite, serve the prince well in the future, and just live in harmony." β
"Thank you for the princess's teachings, and the concubine is grateful."
Wang Jingshu waved her hand and gave a gift.
Immediately, the eunuch shouted: "Licheng-"
In a moment, Concubine Chen was sent out of the main courtyard, carried by Xi Niang, and went to her own new courtyard.
