Chapter 498: An Embarrassing Thing
Chungui also noticed a group of people who were walking towards the flower hall here, and kicked Mingzhu's embroidered shoes slightly under the tea case, Mingzhu didn't speak again, looked at the side, and stood up to greet him.
King Qi is the elder brother of King Zhou, and Princess Qi is Mingzhu's sister-in-law, although both are princesses and princesses, there is no difference between high and low, but there is a difference between the eldest and the youngest, and Mingzhu should take the initiative to pay tribute to Princess Qi first.
Mingzhu only pays attention to the etiquette and does not miss anything, and it is not half-hearted compared to the spring return.
The etiquette rules and salutes, but Chungui keenly observed Xu's stiffness, so much so that he forgot to salute Mingzhu.
Since Princess Qi brought the Xu family here, of course the Xu family would not be surprised that she once again had a "narrow road" with herself, but why was she so shocked that she was even negligent in etiquette? This is really not suitable for the Xu family, who is from a famous marriage family, and Chun Gui couldn't help but glance behind him......
There is no leisure in the flower hall except for Mingzhu's maidservant and Tao Fanglin.
And Chungui did not miss the cunning in the smile on the corner of Tao Fanglin's mouth.
It seems that Xu's shock is expected by Tao Fanglin, why is this?
Chungui then paid attention to the two maids brought by Mingzhu today, one Chungui recognized, it was Mingzhu's dowry maid, and the other was born, sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but it was not until this time that Chungui left her beautiful eyes transparent, but her behavior was restrained, especially at this time, she was quite at a loss for panic.
And Princess Qi's gaze also stopped on the servant girl for too long.
So Chungui paid more attention to this maidservant, and later, when Mrs. Yi also came to the banquet, completely putting aside Tao Fanglin and other idle things, Chungui specially asked about this matter: "The maid who accompanied Sister Ming to the banquet today, I recognize the mandarin duck, and the other one looks at it but is very eye-catching?" ”
Mingzhu said: "What my sister said is Pangu. She was a maidservant girl who was purchased not long ago, and the prince chose to serve in the main courtyard. ”
In just three sentences, Mrs. Yi heard something strange, but it was not easy to ask at other banquets, and the next day she held a small meeting in the Jin State Mansion attended by only the mother and daughter, and the theme of the meeting was about the special features of Pangu.
"Does Your Highness intend to take that handmaid as a concubine?" Mrs. Yi asked straight to the point.
Mingzhu bowed: "His Royal Highness does have that intention for Pangu, but he also discussed me in advance, and he didn't say that he wanted to be accepted as a concubine, but he just asked me to serve Pangu by his side."
Measure her character. I feel that for this period of time, Pangu still knows the rules, even if His Highness wants to accept her as a concubine, I also agree. ”
Mrs. Yi turned her head and asked Chungui, "Does Chun'er think there's anything wrong with Pangu?" ”
As early as when Chun Gui heard that the maid's name was Pan Gu, he had already realized in his heart - he had said that Pan Gu was Shen Wenxiu's personal maid, and Xu's eyes were pierced, so it was no wonder that Xu was shocked when he saw Pan Gu becoming the maid of Zhou Wangfu yesterday. But how did Pangu transfer from the Shen family to the Zhou Palace?
At this time, listening to Mrs. Yi's question, Chungui was not willing to hide it completely: "I only know that Pan Gu was once a servant girl of Shen Qilang, and it seems that Xu Niangzi is extremely jealous, yesterday when I saw Xu Niangzi was shocked when I saw Pan Gu, I became suspicious of Pan Gu's identity, and asked the name of my sister's maidservant, I firmly believe that Pan Gu is the old maid of the Shen family, I don't know why this maid is purchased by the palace?" ”
Regarding Shen Wenxiu's determination that Pangu is similar to her, Chungui can only hide it, in fact, this matter may have something to do with King Zhou, and the reason for revealing it really embarrassed Chungui, and in her opinion, where is Pangu similar to her? Obviously each has her own beauty, she doesn't look as pitiful as Pangu, she looks too strong.
"Originally, there was no shortage of manpower in my hospital, so this time the purchase of maids was handed over to Tao Cairen, and I don't know what happened to it, or I asked Tao Cairen to ask for clarification?" Pearl Road.
Mrs. Yi stared at her daughter for a while, and then sighed: "That's it, where does the Tao family dare to meddle in the affairs of your hospital?" If His Highness hadn't opened his mouth first, you wouldn't have put this servant girl who couldn't even figure out where she came from to serve by your side, what is the difference between calling Tao Shi to ask at this time and directly asking His Highness? ”
Mingzhu frowned: "Even if His Royal Highness takes a fancy to Pangu, I have no reason to stop His Highness from taking concubines, and it is really not polite to investigate this matter." ”
It's not even easier to say that Pan Gu is rumored to be similar to her.
However, the nahan in her heart has added a layer - could it be that Tao Fanglin also knows things similar to her? This is already weird, and even the canal can't say that Pan Gu is similar to her, it shouldn't be just his own illusion, what is even more shocking is why King Zhou intends to accept Pan Gu as a servant?
Isn't it......
Chungui shook his head again and again - you can't be too self-righteous, in the original trajectory, King Zhou and I have a fate, but now, first
The next time we met, Wang Zhou knew that I was someone else's wife, and I was still the wife of a close friend. Not to mention that Zhou Wangzhi is in a position of power, where will he covet the wife of an important minister?
In short, she is extremely satisfied with Lan Ting's husband now, and she will not reverie at all if she is the concubine of King Zhou......
Sister Ming is pure by nature and is an excellent person, but because of this, she cherishes the sisterhood of this life and Mingzhu even more, and it is hard to imagine how the two of them will be in a different mood from today. No matter how to vote for the deed, it will be awkward in my heart, in short, where can I compare to today's equal fellowship and sincere feelings?
Chungui originally resisted the privileges of men in marriage, and belonged to an outlier who resolutely did not allow a concubine in the family, if she had a choice, she would naturally never agree to be a concubine, she didn't know what happened in her previous life, but if she made a simple choice between life and death and grievances...... There is no doubt that she will tend to follow the current situation, but she will definitely not be as happy as in this life, she is even sure that she will always feel guilty about Mingzhu, she should not be in love with King Zhou, at least not between her and Lan Ting.
Even if King Zhou can ascend to the ninety-five in the future, she will not envy the women in the six palaces of the inner court at all.
No matter what happened in that life, King Zhou and her in this life have become a foregone conclusion, she has no regrets, and King Zhou should treat her as normal.
And why did Pangu attract Tao Fanglin's attention?
Is Pan Gu one of the concubines of King Zhou in the previous life? Or is Pan Gu the key person who affects Tao Fanglin's fate?
In any case, Mrs. Yi has begun to pay attention to such a character as Tao Fanglin.
On the way back, Mrs. Yi invited Chungui to ride with her, and her expression was extremely solemn: "I judge Pangu today, she is not bad-hearted, and what I care about is not Pangu, but Pangu can enter the Zhou Palace, which is obviously related to Tao's, and I have to care about Tao's intentions!" If His Royal Highness King Zhou has been determined to be idle, the situation that Ming'er will face in the future will not be so dangerous, but since King Zhou is determined to be in the world...... If Dow has vain intentions, he will not allow Ming'er's life! But Mo Ming'er will not cut down the grass and prevent Tao from the roots, just because I suspect that I do resist such a conspiracy to kill people, why the king of Zhou looks at Pan Gu differently, he has to waste some thought to find out. ”
Chungui was frightened when she heard this, and she didn't have time to measure it carefully, so she told her heart honestly: "Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, the reason why I pay attention to the affairs of the Shen family is really because ...... The first time I met, I already realized that were hostile to me. ”
