Chapter Twenty-Six: Aunt Zhang
"You don't know, King Qin, I didn't like going to school when I was a child. often fled with other powerful children, climbed trees, and dug birds' nests. When the powerful ministers found out, they complained to his father................"
King Qin came out of the Chunhe Courtyard, and heard the voices and laughter of the eldest princess of Yihe and Shen Qingfeng coming from inside.
The eldest princess of Yihe stayed in Chunhe Courtyard for two days and then returned to her princess's mansion, and asked Shen Qingfeng to talk to her when she was free.
King Qin took Shen Qingfeng to send the eldest princess out of the palace of King Qin, Shen Qingfeng looked at Qin Huai, he had been angry for two days.
Shen Qingfeng guessed that Qin Huai would not be angry because of the words of the bastard prince when he visited the hall. But he couldn't find the reason, and his thoughts were fruitless, so Shen Qingfeng went back to the room by himself.
After entering the Yaoguang Courtyard, a little girl named Caihe went back and forth, "I have seen the princess, and Mama Jiang, who is in charge of internal affairs in the house, came and said that she would invite the princess." ”
Shen Qingfeng raised her eyebrows lightly and asked, "Where is Mama Jiang?" ”
Caihe stood aside, bowed his head and said, "Waiting for the princess in the ear room." ”
"Call Mama Jiang over." So he went back to the house.
After a moment of tea, Mama Jiang had already arrived. Respectfully bowed and said, "The old slave's family name is Jiang, and I have seen the princess." Trusted by the prince, he was in charge of internal affairs in the palace. The day before yesterday, the princess had just entered the palace and did not dare to disturb. I came here today to pay a visit, and I asked the princess not to blame the old slave for being two days late. ”
Looking up at Shen Qingfeng, he only felt that a beautiful woman was sitting in front of him. Delicate and weak, I don't know what the temperament is.
Shen Qingfeng looked at it carefully, an old woman about forty years old. Dress understated and act in an orderly manner. Neither humble nor arrogant, it seems to be very shrewd.
smiled: "Mama, please get up." Glancing at Lianxin again, Lianxin understood, so she stepped forward to help Mama Jiang up.
Shen Qingfeng chuckled: "I have just entered the palace, and I don't know much about the situation in the palace. I was thinking about talking to someone who was familiar with the palace and the palace, and it just so happened that you came. If it is more than what I like, how can I blame it? Mama Jiang, it's better to sit and talk. ”
Yang Qin brought a water-milled Huanghuali chair from the side and placed it at the head of Shen Qingfeng.
Seeing this, Mama Jiang smiled and excused herself: "How dare you, the old slave just stood and spoke." If the princess wants to know anything, she can ask that the old slave must know everything and say everything. ”
Shen Qingfeng picked up the Eight Immortals White Porcelain Tea Cup on the small table at hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently. Again and again. said: "Why should Mama Jiang be polite. The prince also told me that Mama has been loyal and dutiful in the Qin Wangfu for half her life, and naturally she has worked hard and the credit is there. To be polite, you look down on me. ”
Mama Jiang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The old slave doesn't dare." He sat at Shen Qingfeng's lower place.
Shen Qingfeng looked at it before asking, "I don't know anything about the situation in the palace, so why don't you talk about it." It's good to be casual, just talk about homely things. ”
Mama Jiang pondered for a moment before she said, "The internal affairs of the house have been in charge of the old slave for five or six years. Steward Qin is responsible for everything in external affairs, and the guards in the other mansion are in charge of Xu Lai's guards. Here in internal affairs, there is a princess, and it will naturally be handed over to the princess in the future............."
"I'm just one person, one mouth, two eyes. Where can we take care of so much? I don't know how much Mama Jiang can help me? Mama Jiang is not allowed to see me coming, so it's better to be lazy. I still have to take care of it, and I am also the first time to be in charge, and I am young, so naturally no one is convinced. Therefore, I also need to help my grandmother more, and if there is something I do that is not very reasonable, I must also bring it up. It is not in vain that the prince will hand over the internal affairs to you and me. ”
Mama Jiang smiled and said, "That's natural." The princess can only tell her if she has anything. Why be so polite? ”
Shen Qingfeng thought for a while, and then said, "There are no elders in the palace, but there are other female dependents?" ”
Shen Qingfeng only reacted now, she didn't know if King Qin himself had a concubine, so she married him stupidly.
Mama Jiang lowered her head and thought for a while, before she said slowly: "Five years ago, the prince was seriously injured. The emperor was worried that there was no one in the palace of the king of Qin to take care of the king of Qin, so he ordered Zhang Linxing, the eldest daughter of Zhang Wenhong, the fourth grade Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to give the prince as a concubine. The princess and princess are newly married, and Aunt Zhang does not dare to disturb the princess for the time being. ”
Suddenly, I felt a little hot in my heart, and heard the existence of this aunt. Thinking of the scenes of those wives and concubines fighting each other in the Shen Mansion, the Li family tried their best to please Mrs. Shen and Shen Nanshan in order to climb to the position of the main wife after her mother's death.
But you see how long it took, the Fan family teamed up with her to use a trick to pull the Li family down.
The hereditary title of the Qin Palace, the position of Princess Qin should be popular with many people. Shen Qingfeng inexplicably felt a little annoyed in his heart, and really responded to that sentence, marrying anyone is the same.
Mama Jiang is also a long-time experienced, and she is the most observant. Seeing that the princess frowned slightly, she knew that the princess was not so happy in her heart, so she smiled and said, "I have been talking for a long time, and I have been disturbing the princess for a long time." The old slave still has something to do at the moment, so he won't bother the princess, and the old slave will retire first. If the princess has any orders, just call a little girl and say it. ”
Shen Qingfeng nodded, seeing that Mama Jiang was about to open the curtain and go out, she said, "Mama Jiang is cautious, it's a good thing." It's just too cautious and restrained. It makes people feel raw and not close. Mama walks slowly. ”
When Mama Jiang heard this, her steps paused, and her body stiffened. After taking a breath, he returned to normal and turned around and said with a smile: "Seeing that the old slave is so old that he doesn't remember things, this is a list opened by the house, and he is to marry the princess." In addition, there is a congratulatory gift sent from various mansions, and the prince said to show it to the princess. ”
As he spoke, he took out two sheets from his sleeve and handed them to the lotus heart who was serving on the side.
Fu smiled again and said that he was going back. Shen Qingfeng also stopped staying.
Lian Xin said on the side: "I said that King Qin has our young lady in his heart, you can understand it by looking at this gift list." ”
Yang Qin stretched out a finger and nodded Lianxin's forehead and said, "What a little girl who has never seen the world, this is amazing." You haven't seen anything really good. No matter how grand the pomp is, our young lady can afford it. ”
Shen Qingfeng glanced at it a few times, the gift list was very long, one hundred and twenty pieces of red gold jewelry, twenty pearls, a total of one hundred and twenty pieces of clothes for the four seasons, thirty black fox skins, thirty green fox skins, thirty gray skins, thirty small white fox skins, twenty pieces of fragrant rat Jane, twenty tiger skins, one hundred rolls of silk, one hundred rolls of yarn, twenty rolls of makeup pythons, twenty rolls of arrowroot cloth, ten rolls of various colors of cloth, forty silver cups, eight silver pots, and forty silver plates.................
It can be seen that Qin Wangfu is really prepared for this marriage.
It may be because of the reputation of the Qin Palace, it may be because the King of Qin married a wife for the first time, but it can't be for her.
Shen Qingfeng was looking at a few green bamboos outside the window. In such a cold winter wax moon, it is even more verdant. Unlike other flowers and plants, which have long been dying, withered and yellowed.
Suddenly, I saw a charming beauty in white at the gate of the yard who was helped into the yard by the little girl, and was talking to the little girl in her yard. The corners of his mouth chuckled, and he was very bright and enchanting.
Yang Qin saw the cold wind gusting outside the window, so he reminded: "The princess has been stunned for a long time, but don't be in this window, be careful that the cold wind blows to get cold." Let's go to the window. ”
Shen Qingfeng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You two have me in your hearts." That's it, if you have a better scenery to see today, let's look at this green bamboo tomorrow. ”
Yang Qin didn't understand what he meant, and was thinking about it. I heard a girl outside the curtain and said loudly: "Aunt Zhang in the house has come to ask the princess for peace." ”
Yang Qin was stunned, he didn't expect that there was already an aunt in the Qin Palace, and he frowned with disgust.
Shen Qingfeng smiled, very unimpressed. This kind of thing is common among the major magnates in the capital, and there are even several concubines.
What's more, this aunt in the Qin Palace's mansion was still given by the emperor, which is different in the end, but I don't know what her temperament is. "Let her in." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the little girl raise the curtain, and a little girl helped a beautiful woman in white clothes to come in. The eyebrows are a little shy, the face is ruddy, and the willow eyes are cheeky.
I often hear people say that the married woman is doing well, and you can know it by looking at that person's temperament. It seems that this Aunt Zhang is very favored in the Qin Palace. Because she has a very rich and mature woman's charm.
Aunt Zhang's Ying Ying bowed her knees, and said in a crisp voice like Huang Ling, "Sister Zhang's visit to my sister." I didn't know what my sister liked when I met for the first time, so I embroidered my purse. I want to give my sister a gift for the first meeting, and please don't dislike the princess. Originally, I was going to meet yesterday, but there was no order from the prince. I didn't sleep well at night, and I was tired yesterday. I just came to see you today, and I ask my sister not to blame my sister. My sister is not such a frivolous person. ”
It's really pitiful, not to mention that King Qin is a man with strong blood, even Shen Qingfeng feels that I feel pitiful.
It turns out that there are such concubines in the house, no wonder even the cave room can be busy with candles and nights.
Shen Qingfeng didn't know what was going on in his heart, but the Qin Wangfu might just be a temporary residence. Looking back at the big red wedding dress climbing on the shelf next to the screen, one day she will be full of wings and fly alone. At this time, the relationship between children and daughters seems to be irrelevant.
Originally, Shen Qingfeng also thought that he might have a home and a warm embrace. I also considered cultivating a relationship with His Royal Highness King Qin, and when the revenge was revenge, I would go home to my husband and children, how warm.
Not anymore.
Shen Qingfeng didn't take the purse either, and said, "Since it's Aunt Zhang's first visit, there are some places where the etiquette is not good. This princess doesn't want to blame, it's just one thing. I was the last child born to my mother, and I didn't have a sister. So please ask Aunt Zhang to call the princess according to the rules. ”
Then let Lianxin collect the purse in Aunt Zhang's hand and only put it on the table. At a glance, it was embroidered with a cat coveting a bird on a begonia branch. The embroidery is also not bad.
Zhang Linxing also wrung the nails in her hands, and her eyes were a little red. I didn't expect to be humiliated by the princess on the first day we met. Ying Ying bowed and sobbed: "Today, the concubine collided with the princess, she is really guilty, please forgive the princess." ”
Zhang Linxing originally thought that her appearance was already good. I didn't expect the princess to marry such an outstanding appearance, and the country was beautiful. And the words are sharp, not easy to handle. My situation is getting worse and worse.
Shen Qingfeng looked at the sky speechlessly, how could she be like a vicious wife bullying the concubine.
