Chapter Thirty-Eight: Isn't Favoritism?
The Lin family was reluctant to ask Tang Yanning to participate in any Dragon Boat Festival banquet. Seeing that she was about to rub against Tang Guogong again, Tang Yanning hurriedly pressed Lin's shoulder and said with a shallow smile: "I think my father is right, I'm not an outstanding person, Saint ...... Where does the saint look at me? Mother, don't worry, I also want to see the royal style. ”
Lin opened his mouth and closed it again.
Tang Guogong was satisfied, and felt that this daughter had really grown a lot since the last nightmare. nodded immediately and praised: "That's right." Although we don't dare to expect to be the princess, we still have to open our eyes. ”
His words almost made Tang Yanning roll her eyes on the spot. Don't you want to call your daughter the princess? It's a shame that Tang Guogong can say this. She bets that in order to make Jiang Qinyue a blockbuster at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Tang Guogong will definitely spend a lot of money to buy clothes and jewelry for Jiang Qinyue this time, and he will also try his best to come up with small means to make Jiang Qinyue shine.
Eyes rolled, Tang Yanning felt that whether it was herself or Tang Yanhua, they were very different from Jiang Qinyue's style, if they stood together, outsiders would not understand the inside story, and they would think that the three of them were Chunlan Qiuju, each with their own strengths.
However, what if there is a girl who is also gentle and gentle, as comfortable as a pool of spring water, standing side by side with Jiang Qinyue?
Her eyes rolled, and Tang Yanning pretended to be surprised and asked Tang Guogong: "Father, why don't you bring a big sister?" ”
The eldest sister in her mouth is the eldest daughter of Tang Guogong, Tang Yanrong.
Speaking of which, Jiang Qinyue, Tang Yanfei, and Tang Yanrong are all about the same age. Jiang Qinyue was three months older than Tang Yanfei, and it was Su Xuerou who climbed into bed to conceive after learning that Tang Guogong was going to marry the county lord of the palace.
And Tang Yanrong was only after Lin became pregnant, and Tang Guogong slept through the room again.
"She?" Tang Guogong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had an eldest daughter.
He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he couldn't even remember the appearance of his eldest daughter, so naturally he couldn't talk about the relationship between father and daughter.
So, Tang Guogong said nonchalantly: "She is a concubine, and she is timid, so she doesn't have to go." ”
asked Tang Yanrong to go, Tang Guogong was still afraid of discrediting the Guogong Mansion.
Tang Yanning asked dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with the concubine?" Could it be that because the eldest sister is a concubine, she is not a girl from the Tang Mansion? Qin Yue's cousin's surname is Jiang, she can go. Father, you're a bit of a favorite. ”
She deliberately raised her voice and raised an eyebrow.
Seeing her like this, Tang Guogong's heart was sudden. He also knows Tang Yanning very well, this daughter is the most disobedient to discipline, and whenever she wants to talk back and make trouble, she usually raises her eyebrows loudly.
He hurriedly reassured: "Where is there any favoritism? In my eyes, you are all the same children. Your eldest sister has never gone out, and she has never seen much of the world, so she suddenly asked her to attend the banquet in the palace, in case she made a mistake and lost the dignity of the Guogong Mansion is small, and offended the nobles is big. ”
"Big sister is just shy, where is she shrinking back? At the last old lady's birthday banquet, wasn't she behaving very decently? Originally, he just wanted to take Tang Yanrong to attend the palace banquet together, but when he saw Tang Guogong's contempt for his eldest daughter, Tang Yanning still felt a wave of anger in his heart for no reason.
She remembered that in the original book, if the Lin family was Su Xuerou's eyes, then Tang Yanrong's existence was Su Xuerou's nail.
Because, after the news that Tang Yanrong's biological mother was pregnant with Tang Yanrong, Su Xuerou knew about it, which directly caused Su Xuerou to have a fetal gas, and gave birth to Jiang Qinyue early.
It is precisely because of this that Su Xuerou's body is damaged, and even after so many years of recuperation, she still can't get pregnant again.
If you want to say who Su Xuerou hates the most in the Guogong Mansion, it is not the Lin family. Because Su Xuerou knew that Tang Guogong married the Lin family just for profit. What she hated the most was that she dared to climb into Tang Guogong's bed while she was pregnant, and gave birth to Tang Yanrong's biological mother, the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion.
For so many years, even if Tang Yanrong's biological mother had passed away, Su Xuerou did not forget to be in front of Tang Guogong and Mrs. Su at all times, and did everything possible to give Tang Yanrong eye medicine.
It can be said that Tang Yanrong is in the Guogong Mansion, and his life is like walking on thin ice. If the development in the original book is followed, Tang Yanrong will soon be married to a heavenly eunuch by Tang Guogong, and will be tortured to die early.
Tang Yanning lowered her eyes and said lightly, "How many ladies and wives saw the eldest sister that day, and they all praised her for her modest behavior and gentleness. How did you get to my father's place and become a shrinking hand? I know, in your eyes, only Cousin Qin Yue is good. In this case, the eldest sister can't attend the palace banquet, so I won't participate either. ”
Tang Guogong was anxious when he heard this.
He had already made up his mind, it would be even better if this palace banquet would surprise Jiang Qinyue and Tang Yanning and attract the attention of the saints. With half of Tang Yanning's Lin Wangfu bloodline, the saint will always treat her differently, and she is born with such a look, and her words and actions are different from other ladies. From the bottom of his heart, Tang Guogong felt that Tang Yanning had a greater grasp than Jiang Qinyue in order to compete for the position of the princess.
Therefore, hearing Tang Yanning say this, Tang Guogong shook his head and sighed: "Ning'er really has a deep sisterhood. Well, bring your big sister with you, too. ”
Tang Yanning was satisfied, and immediately made an affectionate gesture and leaned over to Tang Guogong's side, raising her chin, "That's good." Father, if we want to participate in the palace banquet this time, we must not lose face. These clothes, heads and faces, have to be purchased separately and freshly made, right? ”
"That's nature." Tang Guogong didn't value money. How much can it cost to buy a few clothes and jewelry? As long as a few girls can win the eyes of nobles, what can these be!
Tang Guogong waved his hand, "The most famous ready-to-wear shop in the capital is Jinxiufang, picking Diexuan** gold and jade head. In the past few days, there must have been many people who went to buy for the palace banquet, and if you wanted, just go over and record it in the accounts of the state palace. ”
Tang Yanning smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Then I'm welcome." By the way, father, let's send my eldest sister to another courtyard, so that we sisters can discuss what to buy. ”
"It's fine." Tang Guogong responded happily, and said to the Lin family, "Big girl, come here, you can point her more." ”
As a mother-in-law, it is also a matter of duty to raise the children of the concubine.
Lin is not the kind of person who wants to deal with a little girl. Although he was still dissatisfied with Tang Guogong in his heart, he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.
Tang Guogong instructed Tang Yanning a few more words, telling her to prepare for the palace banquet, and left in a hurry.
The next day, he sent Tang Yanrong to another courtyard.
