Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Difficult Queen's Mother-in-law
Zijuan and the others were speechless when they heard this, only Zihui sighed: "Don't be angry about this, the slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness has been extremely filial since he was a child, but in this matter, he has some of his own opinions, and it is said that people who are new to love are inevitably infatuated, Niangniang does not have to be discouraged, and I want to come to His Highness to understand in my heart that everything Niangniang has done is for His Royal Highness." ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Queen Nalan's mouth, and when she closed her eyes and recuperated, a breeze came in from under the smoky curtain, the cool silk was refreshing, and the layers of hanging silk yarn moved silently. She opened her eyes and looked at the petals falling outside the window, and said lightly: "This palace has only gradually figured out in the past few years, no matter how deep the favor is, for the emperor, it is not as important as his family and country." What about more than ten years of husband and wife love? Isn't he still protecting the prince impenetrable? How can the increase or decrease of the women in this harem be compared to the loss of a tax and silver, and the survival of a city? If the concubines are waiting for the emperor to deal with everything, I am afraid that the emperor will not be tired to death and annoyed, so the palace can only live in peace for all these years if they worry about everything. ”
After saying that, Queen Nalan breathed a long sigh of relief, and her infinite thoughts were churning in her chest, but she closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Shangguan Yuanji hurriedly left the palace, and the breath in his heart had not completely come down, and when he walked to the door of his mansion, he saw an apricot-yellow figure running out of it. He was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "You stop me!" Where is this going? Still holding a knife, are you looking for someone to compete? ”
The person who came was Shangguan Wanyin, I saw her tear-stained face, the long sword in her hand clenched, and when she saw her father blocking her way, she raised her head and said angrily: "Daddy! Jun Yuchen drank flower wine in Zijin Mingyue Building, you said, can your daughter not go? ”
"What? You said that His Royal Highness Dingwang drank flower wine in Zijin Mingyue Tower? This...... How is this possible? ”
In the heart of Shangguan Yuanji, a quasi-father-in-law, Jun Yuchen has always been a gentleman who is clean and self-conscious, and for this reason, even if he is reluctant, he is willing to give up his body to ask the queen for marriage. But now when he heard that Jun Yuchen was also debauched, the anger in his heart couldn't be stopped.
Then he sank his face, grabbed his daughter's wrist and said, "Then you are not allowed to go!" Why don't you want to think, why do you go to him for a theory? Who are you? The daughter of the good Shangguan Mansion hasn't even decided on her mother-in-law's family, so don't go to smear your father and me in the face and make people laugh at us! ”
Shangguan Wanyin's eyes widened, and she replied in a louder voice: "Daddy, what are you talking about?" Why can't I go to him for a theory? You know, my daughter vowed to marry Brother Chen to be his princess in this life, and now he dares to find a little girl to drink flower wine, I don't care about him, do I just let him go on like this? ”
Shangguan Yuanji saw that there were people coming and going at the gate of his house, and many people stopped when they heard the sound, covered their mouths and laughed secretly. He was very angry in his heart, and hated that he had spoiled this daughter too much in the past, so that now she had developed a lawless and audacious temperament, so without saying a word, he forcibly took Shangguan Wanyin into the door and ordered: "Close the door!" Summoning the order, if the young lady leaves this mansion without permission, I will kill the people on duty, sir! Have you heard me all of them clearly? ”
"Yes, General!"
As soon as this order came out, everyone in the Shangguan Mansion knew that General Shangguan was really moving, and at this time, he could no longer mess around with Miss, otherwise, he would not give a life, and this military stick would be beaten down, and most of that small life would be explained.
"Daddy! You can't do that! Daddy, my daughter is going to find Brother Chen, Daddy! You let go of me, let go of me, let go of .......".
Shangguan Wanyin was supported by two strong mothers-in-law of the Lian family, and was sent back to the Zhaoyin Pavilion where she lived, one left and one right. Along the way, she was annoyed and angry, constantly screaming, scolding, kicking and beating, and none of the mothers-in-law were spared. These people are well aware of Shangguan Wanyin's brutality and willfulness, but she is the most favored, so they can only endure the anger and hatred in their hearts, and when they push the person back into the house and lock the copper lock, one of the mothers-in-law led by them looked at no one around, snorted fiercely, and scolded: "Look at what kind of broken house is this?" Pinch my hands like this, hum, Bodhisattva bless, let her marry a husband who beats and scolds her all day long in the future, preferably, and a fierce and vicious hostess, really, I have never seen such a young lady! It's just that there is no tutor at all! ”
"That's it, Sister Tao, look at my hands, didn't I scratch a few pieces of skin for this aunt? If you want to say that everything is good in our Shangguan Mansion, there is such an evil lady, if it weren't for the fact that my son and daughter-in-law would still have to live in the mansion now, I really don't want to suffer anymore for a person of my age! ”
"That's right! This aunt is so hateful, let's wait and see, they all say that wicked people have their own wicked people, I don't believe it, she can be so arrogant all her life ...... end."
The mothers-in-law said angrily as they walked out of the courtyard. After they left, Xiao Luo, who was originally hiding behind a big tree at the gate of the courtyard and shaking a fan, flashed out, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "Chunhong, you go and write down the names of these people for me, and ask what their sons and daughters are doing in our house." Then, let's go in and meet Miss, no matter what, if something like this happens, I, as a stepmother, ignore it, so I can't say it! ”
The maid named Chunhong hurriedly responded and quickly followed the mother-in-law. Then, the remaining three people, accompanied Xiao Luo, slowly approached the courtyard of Zhaoyin Pavilion. Through a door panel, Xiao Luo's voice came to some fake comfort. Who knew that it was okay if she didn't speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she attracted an angry scolding from Shangguan Wanyin.
"Get out! Don't pretend here, you're looking at my dad and locked me up, you're very happy, aren't you? The weasel greets the chicken, who doesn't know what kind of heart you have! ”
"Ouch! My young lady, I don't understand what I said? What is a weasel to give a chicken a New Year's greeting, you say I'm a weasel, how can a daughter call herself a chicken? If this spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh at the fact that our Shangguan Mansion has no rules and tutors? If the queen mother hears this, she will feel that Miss you are not worthy of being the main concubine of the king, and you are rude and uneducated......".
Shangguan Wanyin's lungs were about to explode, and he couldn't get out of the locked room, so he could only continue to scold Xiao Luo through the door panel. When the two of them were facing each other to the wonderful place, the old lady of Shangguan rushed over when she heard the news. When she listened to Shangguan Wanyin's rude scolding, she also sank an old face, and raised her voice: "Okay, okay, stop me!" Like what to say, the lady and lady of the dignified official mansion are so speechless and indeed. When people heard it, they thought that my old woman was dead, so you should make a fool of yourself! ”
Xiao Luo always knew that his mother-in-law favored the only granddaughter, and he didn't expect her to say a fair word at the moment, so he only left a sentence coldly: "What the mother said is very true, but if you want to talk about the upbringing of the young lady, the concubine can ask herself if she can't bear the slightest bit of it." I think that when the young lady was still young, the concubine proposed to invite her a few nurturing grandmothers, but you and the master scolded her for not having the right intentions. Since then, the concubine has not dared to ask about the daily life of the young lady, lest she be misunderstood by her husband and mother-in-law, so the young lady has become such a woman today, whose responsibility is whose responsibility is whose responsibility, in short, the concubine body cannot bear these things. ”
After speaking, Xiao Luo gave a salute to the old lady of Shangguan, and then turned around and retired. Her move made the eyes of the old lady Shangguan, who was already hot, darken, if it weren't for the quick eyes of the people next to her, I was afraid that she would have fainted.
"Master, it's not that you don't know her mouth, why bother with this kind of person? Let's hurry up and take a look at Miss, as you know, Miss's personality has always been strong. Now that the two fathers and daughters are so blatantly opposed, Miss may have something to do! ”
As soon as she mentioned her granddaughter's personality, Mrs. Shangguan felt that her headache was even worse. She frowned and thought about it, and then she had to admit: "Alas! In fact, now that I think about it, the advice she said at the beginning was also true. After all, Wan'er is a girl no matter what she says, and this girl will always marry when she grows up. How can her in-laws love her as much as we do? Now I haven't learned any of this rule and etiquette, but my temper is not good. Even the elders dare to contradict it at every turn, if such a thing reaches the ears of the queen's mother, I am afraid that it will be a big disadvantage to Wan'er's marriage to King Ding. ”
"Then master, let's try to hide this matter first! After all, it always happens in the backyard of our house, and if our people don't talk about it, they may not be able to inquire about it if they want to come to the queen's mother. ”
The old lady of Shangguan didn't fully believe this, because the father and daughter were making a fuss at the gate of the mansion at that time. But for the sake of today's plan, this is the only way, so he nodded and said: "Well, you pass the order, so that no one who knows is allowed to talk about it." I'm going to punish the violators heavily, okay, tell someone to open the lock, let's go first and have a look." ”
After Shangguan Wanyin saw her grandmother, she naturally fell into her grandmother's arms and cried a lot. The old lady of Shangguan was also very distressed when she saw her granddaughter's eyes red and swollen like peaches crying. But distressed is distressed, and after persuading her for a while, she still sighed: "Wan'er, you kid, you can't be so willful in the future." Do you know, just by virtue of your confrontation with your father today, it will be a great disrespect and unfilial behavior to spread it, and the girl's family must always know how to be gentle and introverted, virtuous and reasonable. I used to blame my grandmother and your father for spoiling you too much, but from today on, you will stay in the yard for your grandmother, and your grandmother will assign you two teaching grandmothers, and you will learn the rules and etiquette that you have not learned before, and then start again! ”
