Chapter 20 The eldest lady of the Gao family
"No, no!"
Mrs. Shen's lips trembled, no matter how powerful she was, she was just a woman, and she didn't know anything about the court, and she couldn't imagine how much of a crime such as "disrespecting Your Majesty" would be.
She was subconsciously frightened, and her tone of voice to Song Qingci instantly softened, "It turned out that I said the wrong thing in a moment of confusion, I have no disrespect for Your Majesty, I am your mother-in-law, princess, you can't wronged me like this!" β
Several daughters-in-law also followed suit, "Yes, princess, the Shen family has been loyal to the court for generations, and will never dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, Fang Cai's mother-in-law is just a momentary gaffe, if you go to Your Majesty, it will be a big crime!" β
Song Qingci sneered.
"But your princess Shen Jiashang has always been disrespectful to me, and even dared to steal the things given by the emperor, and dare to say that she is not guilty?"
Mrs. Shen and the others' faces were extremely ugly.
They already knew that Lao Tai's family and others had stolen the property of the princess's mansion, and Song Qingci deliberately covered up the fact that some items were given by the emperor to lead the mother-in-law into the trap, and Mrs. Shen wanted to teach her a lesson.
Now she doesn't dare.
After all, she has been in charge of the Shen family's huge inner mansion for decades, and quickly came up with a countermeasure, "They are the ones who stole the royal gifts, and their deeds are in the hands of the princess, they are the people of the princess's mansion, what does it have to do with our Shen family?" β
Gu Shi also reacted, and followed to help, "Yes, princess, it's your family's subordinates who steal things!" Your Majesty looked at the living note, if you blame your mother-in-law for being disrespectful, then it is also instigated by these slaves, and these slaves should be punished! β
She turned her head and scolded the mothers-in-law sharply, "You slaves, you dare to steal the things given by the emperor and instigate the relationship between the mother-in-law and the princess, you deserve a thousand cuts!" β
Song Qingci smiled and listened to their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sing and harmonize, this show is a good show.
She didn't expect to convict Mrs. Shen with just one sentence, but just to scare and scare Mrs. Shen and let her know that it was powerful.
Only the people of the Lao Tai family were frightened.
They came to the princess's mansion with Mrs. Shen with a wound, thinking that Mrs. Shen would be angry for them, the old people of the Shen mansion, and they could walk sideways in the princess's mansion in the future, and even the princess didn't dare to care about them.
Now Mrs. Shen said that they were from the princess's mansion, and she also said that they were slaves, and she wanted to punish them for their crimes?!
The old Tai family was so anxious that she rolled down from the rattan chair, and she couldn't care about the pain when the wound was pressed to the ground, "Madam, didn't you say that you were going to teach the princess a lesson and give us anger?" We are old people who have served in the Shen Mansion for several lifetimes, you can't leave us alone! β
"Nonsense! When did I say that?! β
Mrs. Shen, who had sworn to be the master for them, was too late to clear it up at this time, and kicked away the mother-in-law who came to hold her legs.
"You are the subordinates of the princess's mansion, you want to kill or punish all the princesses, and they have nothing to do with me!"
Fearing that the mother-in-law would be entangled, he went out of the courtyard first, and Gu and the others hurriedly followed.
When it comes, it is as fierce as a fighting, and when it goes, it is deserted and flees like a declining dog.
Song Qingci sighed, she took a sip of tea leisurely, raised her eyes to look at the sobbing faces of those mothers-in-law, and waved her hand in disgust, "Throw it out." β
"Xiaobai, practice archery!"
β¦β¦
After the Lao Tai family and others were driven away, the atmosphere in the princess's mansion changed instantly.
The subordinates all look at the direction of the wind above, and Mrs. Shen can't protect the people of the Lao Tai family when she comes to the princess's mansion in person, so the subordinates naturally dare not despise the princess anymore.
The princess faction gradually gained the upper hand, and the horse faction often came to the upper room to curry favor.
But Mrs. Shen was not the master who was angry, and she didn't let Song Qingci take advantage.
The rumors in the capital about Song Qingci's invasion of the palace have just subsided, and there is news that she humiliated her mother-in-law, along with peachy rumors about her, Zhao Cheng and the two future concubines......
It's all over the place.
"You can't let the rumors spread, if you continue like this, the princess's reputation will be ruined, and the slave must tell Your Majesty to deal with the rumors."
Mama Cao was indignant when she heard the rumors, she served by the princess's side every day, and knew best that these rumors were false.
"Mama doesn't have to care."
Song Qingci herself was not in a hurry, she was holding a gold-sprinkled flower post in her hand, and she was looking at it carefully, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.
It was just sent by the Great Prince's Mansion.
The eldest princess Duanmu held a family banquet on the grounds of celebrating the emperor's recovery, and invited many young girls from the clan relatives and nobles to the mansion to attend the banquet, which naturally included Song Qingci.
Song Qingci held the flower and lightly fanned it in front of his nose, and the fine gold dust fell, exuding the sweet fragrance of roses.
She smiled at the corner of her lips, "Daddy's illness is good, and he can't worry about these little things, and it's important to find out the truth about Daddy's poisoning." β
Mama Cao saw that Song Qingci had been playing with the flower sticker since she received it, and then she talked about the irrelevant matter of the emperor's poisoning, and suddenly had a frightening thought.
She pointed to the sticker, "Princess, what do you meanβ"
"That's right."
Song Qingci lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the payment of the flower sticker, and chuckled, "The fish is hooked." β
β¦β¦
After the old emperor fell ill, the government was handed over to the two princes.
The eldest prince is long, and the limelight is naturally even worse, and on the day of the family banquet, the door is like a market, and the comings and goings are all splendid Luo Qi, a group of fire cooking oil.
Song Qingci's carriage arrived, and the surrounding bustle was quiet.
"Why is she here? Isn't that shameful enough? β
"Humiliating my mother-in-law and not abiding by women's morals, she still has the face to go out?"
Zi Lian heard the discussion of Che Che Chacha, and immediately took out the posture of a female official and swept around, and the discussion stopped for a while.
Song Qingci slowly got out of the car in a smoky purple wide-sleeved Luo skirt, the skirt was like smoke, and it stood out among the female dependents with red flowers and willows, and it looked more and more fairy.
The surrounding ladies unconsciously looked at her outfit, and saw a few palace flowers on her bun at random, and they all had a sense of brightness.
Song Qingci was accustomed to this kind of scrutiny.
As a princess, she is the focus of the crowd no matter which house she appears at the banquet.
Any ornament she wears, no matter how casual and simple, will become popular in the capital.
Her every move, every smile and smile are the objects of imitation by the nobles of the capital-
Until after the death of his father in the previous life.
Those who originally touted her for being close to her were eager to step on her when they saw her lose power, and no matter how she dressed or talked, some people sneered at her and passed her on as a joke.
People are warm and cold, but that's it, why should she care about any gossip?
"Yo, Celestia Celestia, where did this come from? Princess Mansion or Shen Family? β
With a malicious voice, the woman in the red dress hugged her, she was short and arrogant, and she looked at Song Qingci with a playful gaze.
Zi Lian glanced at her and frowned.
This person is the niece of the noble concubine, the eldest lady of the Gao family, Gao Chunnian, who has quite an appeal among the nobles in the capital.
The Gao family was originally a small family, if it weren't for being the aunt of the concubine, how could she dare to be presumptuous in front of Song Qingci?
