Chapter 10: The Future Crown Princess
"You're absolutely right."
Aunt Yun nodded and continued.
"There must be someone to preside over the affairs of the house, and you can't call the one in the second room to take it, right? The old lady is old, and she has lived in the meditation nunnery for a long time, so naturally she will not ask about the affairs of the house again. ”
Aunt Yun never thought that Master Shen would hand over the matter of the feed to Shen Junru.
Rao saw that Shen Junru that day had changed a little compared to before, but she still didn't take her seriously.
It's almost over, how many years can you stay in the house?
At that time, will a foreign-married girl still be able to meddle in the affairs of the house?
Mama Cai is used to giving advice to Aunt Yun, which can be regarded as a think tank around her, many ideas are from behind her back, and Aunt Yun also relies on her.
Mama Cai was about to say something, but suddenly a maid came in to report.
"Auntie, the fourth lady is here."
"Ning'er? Tell her to come in. ”
Aunt Yun said so, and then leaned back slightly, propped her elbows on the cushion, in a lazy and leisurely posture.
Soon, Shen Xiangning walked in with a calm and beautiful face, and there was a little resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes to Shen Junru, but this charm was not a little bit worse. Wearing a pomegranate red jacket skirt, embroidered with a few frolicking and lively larks, combing her hair in a bun and hairpins with red gold carved peony hairpins, pinching a Luopa, and blessed her body with Aunt Yun.
"Auntie."
"How do you have to keep a calm face? Who's upsetting you again? ”
Aunt Yun didn't say anything when she saw Shen Xiangning dressed like this, the eldest lady just went, and the whole house was guarding the time, including Master Shen, who didn't wear such colorful clothes.
"Not yet..."
Shen Xiangning pursed her lips, twisted her body slightly, and said to Aunt Yun.
"Auntie, when will you be able to carry the main room? Do you know that this time the palace lady held a peach banquet, the purpose is to choose a concubine for the prince, all the ladies have received posts, why can she Shen Junru go, I can't go! Even the second room received the post. ”
She is really unwilling, speaking of herself is no worse than the two young ladies who came out, her father even loves her more, if she can enter the prince's mansion, and in the future she will be the position of the mother in the world, she will definitely make these people who have been embarrassed by her look good!
Shen Xiangning's eyes flashed with unwillingness, anger and greed, and his fingers tightly twisted the handkerchief, as if he wanted to smash it.
Aunt Yun thought the same thing in her heart, how could her daughter be worse than those two young ladies, the third young lady Shen Shisi didn't mention it, she was weak and couldn't do it, she was sick in bed all the year round, relying on decoction to hang her life, she was also a concubine, Shen Xiangning didn't know how many times better than her. Even if you compare to Shen Junru and Shen Yitian's two daughters-in-law, you might as well let it go!
And this time it's for the crown princess...
Aunt Yun snorted lightly, straightened up, and said coldly.
"The eldest lady is gone, and with the master's favor for me, it is only a matter of time before I am straightened. Moreover, your uncle has made a lot of contributions in the army, and when he becomes a general, your and my identities will be different, and it is more than enough to be the main room of his Shangshuling, so you don't have to worry. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, but the selection of the crown princess is in a hurry, and the ladies in the palace are in a hurry, if... If Shen Junru is called or Shen Yitian is favored by the ladies and becomes the crown princess, then he will become the queen in the future, what is the use of his uncle being a general again? It's hard to be able to go beyond the Son of Heaven, I still have to succumb to them! ”
"Shhh, don't say anything about such a big rebellion."
Aunt Yun can climb to her current status, she is really not a completely brainless person, her mother's family is weak, not as good as Mrs. Shen's mother's family, and she has always been pressed all these years. It's just that in the past two years, my younger brother, who went to join the army in the early years, came to a letter, saying that he had a place in the army, and now he is the pioneer of the general's account, and he is deeply used by the general.
Shen Xiangning pinched the handkerchief and said anxiously.
"I don't care, auntie, you help me figure out a way, I, I'm going to the peach banquet too."
Aunt Yun's eyebrows rolled slightly, and she settled down and said.
"There is only this way, you go and ask Shen Junru to take you to the palace for a banquet, she is usually stupid and soft-hearted, and she can't help you with a few soft grinds, but it is Shen Yitian, who is ruthless and arrogant, and is not easy to speak."
"Do you want me to beg Shen Junru? Auntie, I..."
"What? You can't do it? ”
Shen Xiangning skimmed her eyebrows, and bit her red lips. petal, with a stubborn face.
Aunt Yun snorted coldly and reprimanded.
"I can't stand this little grievance, how can you fight with Shen Junru?"
"Auntie..."
"Endure for a long time, the big husband can bend and stretch, if you enter the peach banquet and win the favor of the prince and the mothers, you will be prosperous and rich in the future, above tens of thousands of people, are you afraid that you will not be able to clean her up a Shen Junru? Moreover, even if you can't win the favor of the prince and the maidens, you give Shen Junru a little stumbling block and make her make a fool of herself in front of the maidens, and you can still point to a good person in the future? When the time comes, you won't still be able to hold her down. ”
It's really a two-pronged plan, Shen Xiangning showed a little smile on her face, twisted the handkerchief and stood up.
"Then I'll go."
Then he was blessed and left.
Aunt Yun looked at Shen Xiangning's departing figure and was slightly distracted, and then said.
"There are only a few days left before the peach banquet, Mama Cai, you ordered someone to make two clothes for the fourth lady, and then pick out some jewelry, the princess must not be sloppy."
Mama Cai answered "yes" and withdrew.
In Lingbo Courtyard, Shen Junru was standing in front of the small lotus pond in the courtyard sprinkling fish food, the spring breeze was blowing, and the green willows on both sides of the river embankment had just sprouted.
A girl held an oil-paper umbrella, and walking under the umbrella was Shen Xiangning.
"Xiangning has seen the eldest sister."
Approaching Shen Junru, she bent her knees slightly. Along the way, Shen Junru's yard was the largest, and the layout was the most luxurious and elegant, that is, this lotus pond rockery pavilion was not in her and her aunt's yard, and she was secretly jealous in her heart.
When her aunt straightens up, she will definitely take Shen Junru's yard over!
Shen Junru sprinkled the fish food and turned her head to look, seeing that Shen Xiang was dressed in garnet red, dressed so gorgeously, her brows were slightly furrowed, even if she was a little annoyed, the whole house was guarding her mother, wearing plain clothes, but she was dressed up so fancy, she couldn't help but take her mother too seriously!
Although she was annoyed, Shen Junru didn't say anything to remind her, what if she scolded a few times? It's good for Daddy to see it!
Hmph, she thought she wouldn't be able to see it in this life!
"It turned out to be the fourth sister, why did you have time to come to me today?"
"The eldest sister has been back for many days, and I haven't been able to come to see the eldest sister, isn't the eldest sister blaming me?"
Shen Xiangning smiled a little, pretending to be a "sisterly love", which was really disgusting.
