Chapter 35: No Peace
The sky is getting colder and colder, but as soon as the weather is cold, it also indicates that the New Year is approaching.
These days, Ning Qingyue is either tossing rouge gouache in the house, or playing mahjong with Mrs. Wan and a few of them, and her life is more salted than salted fish. No, early in the morning, the charcoal fire in Ning Qingyue's house had already changed several waves one after another.
In the house, Ning Qingyue was still covered in the quilt, after all, it was so cold that people couldn't get out of bed.
Lan Wei was guarding outside the house and was arranging for the maids to clean up, when Forsythia suddenly ran over and said, "Sister Lan Wei, the eldest princess is here." ”
The eldest princess?
Lan Wei was stunned for a moment, Chen Guo only had one eldest princess, she was the sister of the emperor and the aunt of the prince.
Although I don't know why the eldest princess suddenly came to King Mu's mansion, but she is an elder, Lan Wei hurriedly knocked on the door of the inner room.
"Princess, wake up, the eldest princess is here." There was a hint of urgency in Lan Wei's words.
Ning Qingyue sat up from the bed in a hurry, isn't the eldest princess the prince's aunt, but what is this aunt doing in King Mu's mansion? According to Li Song's temperament, he should not be very close to this aunt.
"Send someone in to help the concubine wash." Ning Qingyue said.
The eldest princess Li Changxian came to King Mu's Mansion early, but she didn't come alone, she was followed by a woman.
To say that Li Changxian is from the royal family, she has developed a graceful and luxurious atmosphere, but the woman who follows her, although she is quite beautiful in appearance, but she walks in this Mu Wang's mansion, her posture is twisted, but it is a small family spirit.
"When you get to Princess Mu later, remember to behave well, don't look like you haven't seen the world." Li Changxian said with some disgust.
The woman bowed her head, blushed, and whispered with small steps, "Yes, Mother." ”
Speaking of which, Li Changxian's life is also bitter, she has been married for many years but has nothing to do, her husband Chen Wen once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty, and was dismissed for committing a crime, and then relied on Li Changxian, the eldest princess, to eat soft rice to live.
Li Changxian has been relying on the princess's prestige for many years to not allow Chen Wen to take a concubine, to say that this Chen Wen is also quite bold, and the family can't take a concubine, so he secretly raised an outer room outside, and soon the outer room gave birth to a daughter.
Li Changxian's eyes have always been unable to rub sand, she found out what Chen Wen did early in the morning, and after giving birth to a daughter in the outer room, she directly sent someone to kill her mother and take her daughter, but Li Changxian also hated this daughter, so this daughter has been since she was a child. was thrown into the Zhuangzi by her to raise, and it was not until a while ago that this daughter was married, and Li Changxian took her back to the eldest princess's mansion, and gave her a new name, called Chen Yu'e.
Li Changxian especially looks down on the daughter born in this lowly outer room, what kind of vine is really what kind of melon, what kind of child is born, look at this Chen Yu'e, no matter how she dresses up, she still has a little family spirit all over her body.
As soon as Li Changxian took Chen Yu'e into Ning Qingyue's house, Forsythia greeted her with a smile: "Eldest princess, please sit down for a while and taste the tea in our princess's house." ”
While Forsythia was speaking, a maidservant girl came up and served tea.
Li Changxian glanced at Forsythia coldly: "What about Princess Mu?" When the elders came, didn't she know that she was going to come out to greet her? ”
Forsythia smiled: "It's because the elders are here, our princess doesn't want you to see her untidy makeup, so I went back to the inner room to trim my makeup and then came out to say hello to you." ”
Forsythia is not stupid, if she says that the princess has just gotten up at this time, she may not know how to give the eldest princess a tongue.
Li Changxian laughed coldly, then took a sip of tea arrogantly with a teacup, and Chen Yue, who was sitting under her, secretly pulled the handkerchief and didn't dare to make a sound, let alone eat the tea in Princess Mu's house.
Li Changxian also glanced at Chen Yu'e, and when she saw her timid and scared look, she became angry: "Yu'e, you can also taste the tea in your princess's sister's house." ”
Chen Yu'e shook her body and said in a panic: "Yes, mother." ”
Forsythia secretly glanced at Chen Yu'e, and then quietly retreated and walked into the inner room.
In the inner room, Ning Qingyue was already dressed neatly, but Lan Wei was still helping her comb her hair, and Forsythia hurriedly came in and said, "Princess, the eldest princess didn't come alone, she also brought a girl over." ”
Ning Qingyue's expression paused slightly: "Girl? ”
Forsythia said: "It's a girl, and that girl also calls the eldest princess's mother." ”
Ning Qingyue's brows frowned for a moment: "What did the eldest princess do when she came to Mu Wangfu and brought her daughter?" ”
Lan Wei pouted on the side: "Slave maid, look, the eldest princess has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and bring a girl who has not left the pavilion to the princess's house, maybe she has other thoughts." ”
Ning Qingyue also came back to her senses, if her guess was right, the eldest princess wanted to borrow her way and stuff her daughter into King Mu's mansion to be Li Song's concubine!
Anyway, it's no secret that the eldest princess has nothing to do with her knees, and that girl is not her own, so she can do whatever she wants.
Ning Qingyue sneered: "Concubine Ben treats her as an elder, but she treats Concubine Ben as a fool." ”
Lan Wei was about to tie the last bun, and Ning Qingyue stood up, pretending to be angry in her heart, although she hadn't figured out where this anger came from, she was just unhappy anyway.
She stood up for a moment, then sat down again: "It looks like I'm going to make a killer move today." She said as she began to put on her makeup.
Speaking of which, playing mahjong will really make people decadent, Ning Qingyue hasn't put on a beautiful makeup for herself for a few days, originally the eldest princess came, she should have gone out to greet her early, just now she also thought about packing up and going out, but now that she knows that the eldest princess is not at ease, she will let her wait a little longer, after all, makeup is in a hurry.
However, the eldest princess is very patient today, she guessed in her heart that Ning Qingyue had guessed her intention, so she has not come out for a long time, since this is the case, then she will sit here and wait, anyway, she will have to come out to face herself sooner or later.
Li Changxian was calm, but Chen Yu'e was panicked.
"Mother...... I want to come to the princess, she has something to do today, and it's too late to see us, why don't we come back another day? Chen Yu'e lowered her head and said cautiously.
Li Changxian glared at her fiercely, "What's the panic, in the end, it's born from a cheap thing, it's not promising!" ”
Chen Yu'e blushed, lowered her head and pursed her mouth, and looked strange and pitiful with red eyes.
As soon as Ning Qingyue came out, she saw the picture of Li Changxian teaching Chen Yu'e a lesson, and she sighed secretly in her heart, she was not born after all, listen to how ugly this scolding is!
Ning Qingyue forcibly smirked and walked to Li Changxian's side, blessed her body and said, "Let my aunt wait for a long time, is it a concubine?" ”
As soon as Li Changxian saw Ning Qingyue, she looked up and down, to say that Ning Qingyue was a generation later than her, but suddenly seeing such a beautiful woman, Li Changxian couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart, and even sneered at her when she spoke.
"Princess Mu can be regarded as coming out, this palace still thinks that you, the junior, are planning to dry the palace for a while before coming out to see the palace." Li Changxian said mockingly.
Ning Qingyue smiled and sat down on the main seat beside Li Changxian, and Li Changxian said unhappily at the moment: "The palace is here, is this the place where you should sit?" ”
Ning Qingyue was not annoyed, and immediately said: "Auntie laughed, how can I say that this house is also my own house, and they all say that the guest is as good as the host, why does my aunt want to turn against the guest as soon as she comes here?" ”
Li Changxian raised her eyebrows unhappily, in the end, she was the daughter from Shangshu Mansion, and she was not small, and she dared to argue with her.
Chen Yu'e sat down and got up and saluted Ning Qingyue: "Sister Princess, hello." ”
Ning Qingyue glanced at her lightly, what a little girl from a small jasper family, she looked pitiful and pitiful when she was bullied by the eldest princess, it was really easy for people to feel pity.
"Sister, you're welcome, sit down." Ning Qingyue said with a smile.
After Chen Yu'e sat down, although she still looked timid and twisted, she couldn't help but secretly peek at Ning Qingyue.
King Mu's princess is so beautiful, I'm afraid she won't necessarily look down on her.
Li Changxian immediately got straight to the point and said: "This palace is here today to inform you of something!" ”
After speaking, she looked at Chen Yu'e and said, "Yu'e, you stand over and take a look at Princess Mu." ”
Chen Yu'e pursed her lips tightly, stood up and walked towards Ning Qingyue, but Ning Qingyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You don't have to come over, this concubine's eyes are very good, I can see what you look like!" ”
After that, Ning Qingyue looked at Li Changxian with a smile and said, "Auntie, if you have something, just say it." ”
Li Changxian frowned and looked at Ning Qingyue, this girl was a little unruly, in front of the elders, she was so big and small.
At that moment, Li Changxian said: "I'm here to inform you, in the future, Yu'e will be a person from your Mu Wangfu, this palace heard that you and Song'er have been married for many days and have not had a round house, how did you become a princess, you can't catch your husband's heart, you can't catch it, it's just that you can't catch it, and now you haven't even rounded the room!" If this continues, when will Mu Wangfu add heirs? Although Yu'e is small, the fortune teller said that she is a good child, and leaving her by Song'er's side will definitely make you Mu Wangfu prosperous. ”
Listening to Li Changxian's words, Ning Qingyue covered her mouth and laughed: "Auntie, look at what you said, it's like saying that I can't give birth." ”
When Li Changxian heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Princess Mu, what do you mean by this? ”
Ning Qingyue gently picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea without hurry, and said with a smile: "What is my aunt doing so excited?" I just want to tell my aunt that my health is fine, after all, this life and rearing matter is not something I can decide alone. In fact, my relationship with the prince is still good, but the prince pities my young age and wants to wait another two years to have a round with me. ”
After saying this, Ning Qingyue glanced at Chen Yue again and said with a smile: "My sister is the only girl in your house, aunt, instead of sending her to the prince as a concubine, it is better to help her go to other prestigious families to find a wife, if she gets face, don't you also have a light on your face?" Besides, the temperament of our prince is not very good, and there are female dependents in the palace who have been disposed of in three or two days, don't you see, the body that was divided by five horses is bloody, how terrifying! ”
