Chapter 221: The ugly daughter-in-law meets her in-laws
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, but the stories about Princess Chu and King Yu are still circulating.
There is silence in the Zhanghe Palace, only the smoke in the copper smoker of the gold crane mouth is straight up, Concubine Rui likes cinnamon, in the autumn, the hall has been burning cinnamon incense, today the smell is probably a little stronger, so that her brain is a little dizzy, the palace maid behind her gently hammered her shoulder, and occasionally can listen to the small sound of porphyry.
Huang Youdao stood on his head with his waist bowed, and waited for Concubine Rui's instructions.
Concubine Rui sighed, "From what you see, is this true?" ”
Huang Youdao leaned over slightly, "Back to the concubine, the slave thinks that Princess Chu is not like an inappropriate person, everyone knows the problems of Prince Yu, and when he sees a beautiful little concubine, he can't walk, and some courtiers can only be dumb and can't say if they eat Huang Lian, after all, this kind of thing is not good-looking." But our prince couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he beat Yu Wangye. The concubine doesn't have to worry too much, although King Yu is the emperor's uncle, but the things he did were really not very good, the prince beat King Yu, I don't know how many people secretly applauded. ”
"What did the emperor say?"
"The emperor blamed the prince on the surface, but in his heart he was afraid that he was also in favor, except for our prince, who dared to beat King Yu, he is the emperor's uncle after all, and it is good to beat him like this."
"As long as the emperor doesn't blame, the mourning family will be relieved." Concubine Rui waved her hand and asked the palace maid behind her to retreat, and said, "I also heard that yesterday, the prince interrupted the chief eunuch in the palace of the concubine for the sake of the princess, is there such a thing?" ”
"Back to the concubine, there is such a thing, that Jin Bao relies on Bai Guifei's support on weekdays, and he is a blessing, and he actually ordered our princess to kneel, and dared to kick her, then it is okay, according to the slave, it is good that the prince did not want his life."
Mama Rong personally served the fragrant tea, and Concubine Rui took it, lifted the lid and gently skimmed the tea foam, and said, "The mourning family knows, you go down." ”
Huang Youdao answered, bowed down and retreated.
Concubine Rui took a sip of hot tea, and a trace of sadness appeared on her well-maintained face, "Rong'er, you say, is our prince interested in Princess Chu?" ”
Mama Rong was the maid of Concubine Rui's mother's family to marry, first entered the palace, and then the first emperor ascended the throne and accompanied into the palace, and has always been by Concubine Rui's side, never married, and now she is old, she is a first-class grandmother, and she is the most trusted person of Concubine Rui.
Mama Rong nodded, "Last time, the prince said that there were people around him who asked for warmth, I'm afraid it was the princess of Chu, in this case, the prince should bring the princess over to show the princess, as the saying goes, the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, the prince took the princess into the palace at the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't come to see the princess, and the slave couldn't figure out the prince's mind." ”
Concubine Rui sighed, "Even I, my mother-in-law, can't figure out his thoughts, let alone you." However, it is not a good thing to cause so much chaos when you enter the palace. ”
"The slave also thinks so, the slave heard that the princess of Chu doesn't know the rules very well, and the banquet made people see jokes, that time the prince almost fought with Bai Cheng in the court, isn't it also for her, the princess has no one to discipline when she is young, and it is reasonable that she has a wild temperament and does not understand the rules, and she will want the prince to teach her well in the future."
"Will he teach, for her to break the minion's leg, and also hit King Yu, it must be like an eyeball," Concubine Rui said: "The mourning family doesn't care how good others say about her, the mourning family only knows that there is no wind and no waves, and there is always something wrong with her." Lu'er finally has someone to care about, and this person must be worthy of him. She thought for a while, "So, you go on my behest and send someone to the Chu Palace, and bring the princess in, and say that the mourning family wants to see her." ”
Mama Rong said: "In case the prince ......"
"He's still in the court at this time, even if he knows, it's nothing, he doesn't bring people to see the mourning family, isn't it okay for the mourning family to see it himself?"
Mama Rong didn't say anything anymore and went out to spread the word.
When Yizhi arrived at the Chu Palace, Hao Pingguan was startled, Concubine Rui rarely had Yizhi go to the Chu Palace, but since the concubine wanted to see her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but let her see it.
What made him embarrassed was that the person who delivered the decree only said the princess, and did not specify which princess it was, you must know that there are three princesses in the house, and these three concubines and concubines have never seen it, Hao Pingguan thought for a while, except for the side princess Xiu Yuanshuang who couldn't go out, so he simply let Bai Qianfan and Gu Qingdie go, so that the little princess has a companion, and if there is anything, she can take care of it.
Gu Qingdie was very happy when she heard that she entered the palace to see the concubine, and hurriedly changed her clothes, she was born beautiful, but she deliberately chose elegant clothes to change into, the makeup on her face was also very light, and the bead hairpin on her head was also replaced with a slightly more simple one.
Looking at Bai Qianfan again, because she wanted to see her titular mother-in-law, she was nervous for no reason, she would wear whatever the red and green lotus gave her, and what she looked like, what it looked like, the two maids didn't think about anything else, they just wanted to show Bai Qianfan's most beautiful side to the concubine, she was originally light eyebrows and eyes, makeup, and bright clothes were put on, which immediately made people's eyes shine, and they only felt dazzling.
The two entered the palace together, changed the palace sedan chair on the mewwich, and carried them to the Zhanghe Hall one after the other.
Gu Qingdie entered the palace for the first time, and everything felt fresh, but her expression was slight, her eyes did not squint, and she was not outstanding in her dress, and she had a clumsy charm.
Looking at Bai Qianfan again, delicate and tender with a small flower, bright eyebrows, smiling and revealing a mouthful of glutinous teeth, walking around and looking around, like a country girl who has never seen the world, she couldn't help but shake her head, the rumors are not wrong, Princess Chu really doesn't understand the rules, fortunately, Gu Qingdie understands the rules, and if there are any grand occasions in the future, the prince of Chu will not lose face if he takes Gu Qingdie to attend.
Because of Mrs. Bai's relationship, Bai Qianfan always had an inexplicable fear of elderly women, thinking that noble ladies should be like Mrs. Bai with shelves, hanging eyelids, and a snarky and harsh look.
But Concubine Rui is not what she imagined, much younger than her actual age, although she is not amiable, she looks dignified and magnificent, graceful and luxurious.
She was relieved, smiled at Concubine Rui, and squatted: "My daughter-in-law has seen the concubine." ”
She saluted seriously, but it was like that, the only thing that Concubine Rui didn't understand was what Bai Qianfan was smiling at her? Got dirty on her face?
When it was Gu Qingdie's turn, there was immediately a comparison, dignified and gentle, speaking decently, not showing the mountains and water, knowing how to hide clumsy, such a daughter-in-law is the most pleasing to the elders, Concubine Rui likes her very much, but unfortunately she is only a princess, and the lintel is a little lower.
She asked Bai Qianfan, "Why didn't the side princess come?" ”
Bai Qianfan said: "Sister Xiu is locked up. ”
Concubine Rui was taken aback, "What do you say, why was you locked up?" ”
