777. Humiliation
The Deng family has been in power for many years, and the arrogance in their bones cannot be changed, even in the face of their biological mother, Mrs. Deng is probably also a condescending posture, the Deng family has been in power for too long, and they have to forget who they are, and they have to take care of everything, and they can't see any existence that goes against their will.
"Sometimes what parents do is not necessarily for the good of their children!" After listening to Deng Yarong's complaints, Mrs. Deng murderously came to the door of the Qi family, was it to hold grievances for Deng Yarong? No, she can't allow the Qi family to be disrespectful to the Deng family, Deng Yarong represents the Deng family in the Qi family, and the Qi family is not good to Deng Yarong, that is, it is not good for the Deng family!
Deng Yarong pursed her lips, she knew this when the eldest prince chose a concubine, if she hadn't listened to Xu Shu's reminder and broke her leg ruthlessly, she would really be Princess Qing nine times out of ten.
"Alas, by the way, what did your seventh cousin do to King Qing's side concubine? I heard that it was proposed by the queen mother, shouldn't the queen mother hurt you more? β
"It is precisely because the queen mother loves me more that it is the seventh cousin who is the side concubine of King Qing!" Xu Shu looked at Deng Yarong with a puzzled face, "Does Grandma Qi think that being a concubine is a very dignified thing?" β
"Although the side concubine is also a concubine, but with the support of the queen's mother, this concubine is more proud than the young grandmother of the prince's family!" Deng Yarong tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her expression was also displeased.
"King Qing's concubine still has your Deng family as the backing, no matter how proud you are, it's limited!"
"You mean Miss Huang Si?"
Seeing Xu Shu nodding, Deng Yarong suddenly lowered her voice, "Miss Huang Si may not be able to be Princess Qing!" β
"Why?" Xu Shu's eyes flashed slightly, she knew that the emperor chose the daughter of the Zheng family as the concubine of King Qing, that is, he gave up the plan to win over the Huang family and divide the Deng family, Xu Shu guessed at first that the emperor failed to win over the Huang family, but looking at Deng Yarong's expression, could it be that there is something going on with the Deng family here?
"I don't know what's going on, it's just that last year, the Huang family sent the New Year's gift to the Deng family, and my mother didn't accept it, and last month Mrs. Huang inexplicably handed over a post to me, and I left Mrs. Huang to talk for a while, Mrs. Huang was hesitant, and her words were unknown, but it seems that the Huang family did something to offend the Empress Dowager, and the Huang family's daughters have not entered the palace for several months!"
Therefore, the emperor asked Qin Tianjian to set the marriage date of Miss Huang Si and King Qing in a few years, and the Deng family did not have any opinions, it turned out that the Huang family also offended the Deng family, so the Deng family allowed the emperor to snub the Huang family so much, Xu Shu remembered that Young Master Zheng Qi told her that the position of the eldest son of the Huang family was no longer because of the Deng family's interference.
Could it be that the emperor wooed the Huang family, and the Huang family's double-hearted affair was known to the Deng family? The Huang family was afraid of losing the support of the Deng family, so they turned their heads and wanted to return to the wing of the Deng family again, but they were disliked by the Deng family, and the emperor was also ashamed of the behavior of the Deng family, so he abandoned it and didn't use it, so he found the Zheng family, and the Huang family hurriedly tried every means to make the Deng family change their minds.
"That's why you said that the seventh cousin was proud of this concubine?"
"There's no concubine pressing, can you be unhappy!" Thinking that Zheng Wanli had helped Fu Xinyao squeeze herself out, Deng Yarong couldn't help but sneer, "Let's let her be proud for a few more days!" β
Thinking of what Mrs. Zheng Si said, the day Zheng Wanli entered the palace to thank her, she saw the matter of the sixth lady of the Xiao family, Xu Shu knew that it seemed that Deng Yarong also knew that Deng Yarong was not so naΓ―ve that she didn't understand the world at all, just because Deng Yarong's background and family background made her no need to fight with others.
"Fortunately, the queen loves you, it's not you who is King Qing's side concubine, otherwise I really don't have anyone who can speak!"
"Isn't Miss Xiao Liu on good terms with you?"
Deng Yarong said, "She has the same temperament as me, she won't understand these words to her, only you can say a few heartfelt words to me!" β
Deng Yarong is so relieved of Xu Shu, just because Xu Shu clearly gave up Qi Rui and will not compete with her for Qi Rui, whether it is Qi Rui's person or Qi Rui's heart, Xu Shu is not interested, because of this, Deng Yarong will have a close attitude towards Xu Shu beyond the relationship between them.
"Miss, Seven...... Concubine Zheng is here! Yinzhi stiffly turned her lips.
Zheng Wanli became King Qing's side concubine, holding her own identity, and when she entered the Begonia Pavilion again, no one informed her and came in directly, but Yinzhi was sharp-eyed, and when she saw it, she hurriedly reported.
"Concubine Zheng is fine!"
Xu Shu and Deng Yarong both had no orders, so they could only salute Zheng Wanli according to the number of etiquette.
"Ninth sister, why should we be so polite between our sisters!" Zheng Wanli helped Xu Shu up, ignored Deng Yarong who saluted her together, and then sat next to Xu Shu, and Deng Yarong was sitting in that position before, Deng Yarong gritted her teeth and was very angry at Zheng Wanli's ignorance.
Zheng Wanli looked at the teacup in front of her and pretended to be as if she had just seen Deng Yarong, "Grandma Qi is also there?" Grandma Qi sit down, I didn't expect Grandma Qi to have such a good relationship with the ninth sister! Zheng Wanli glanced at Xu Shu, Xu Shu didn't react at all, thinking about last year's Laba, Xu Shu didn't take special care of Deng Yarong, and Zheng Wanli was a little unsure of the relationship between Xu Shu and Zheng Wanli.
Deng Yarong put her hands on her sleeves and glanced at Zheng Wanli with her eyes, "Why did Concubine Zheng come back alone today?" Didn't King Qing accompany him? β
"The Zheng Mansion and the Qing Wangfu are close to each other, and the kung fu will come back after a while, the prince has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to do such a boring thing!" The smile on Zheng Wanli's face did not decrease, Deng Yarong's rank was still too low, Zheng Wanli cared about the status and glory that King Qing brought her, not King Qing.
Occupied daily with important matters!
Deng Yarong sneered in her heart, King Qing's rice bucket has something serious to do, I don't know where to fool around.
Zheng Wanli glanced at the teacup in front of her that Deng Yarong had drunk half of, just as Yuzhu came to clean it up, so she said with a smile, "Ninth sister is still drinking the big red robe, right?" If you are willing to give me a drink, I don't love this Longjing, I always feel frivolous! Zheng Wanli said this, her eyes swept to Deng Yarong, as if she was saying that Deng Yarong was as frivolous as this cup of tea.
Deng Yarong also heard the sarcasm in Zheng Wanli's words, and wanted to go back with irony, but she was not familiar with Zheng Wanli and couldn't think of anything to refute, even the tea that Zheng Wanli wanted to drink was the same as Xu Shu, Deng Yarong sneered, turned her head and was about to leave.
"I'll go back today!"
In addition to Xu Ting, the most hated person now is Zheng Wanli, who has never suffered this kind of humiliation in her life.
