Chapter 177: Concubine Feng Zhou
I see, although my face is embarrassed, my heart is very happy. Wanying is a woman, and she is a concubine, and she is used to seeing the coldness of the noble and lowly. If you get a man, then you are the son of the world, how noble and illustrious.
When it was already in the unitary, the grandmothers all retreated to the door and left Wanying alone in the house. The room is full of red candles and bright lights. The flickering candlelight swayed Wanying's heart was fascinated. Overjoyed, the footsteps are like stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, satisfying.
The main hall of Chunhuatai is also the regulation of five rooms, the bedroom cave room is the innermost one in the east, the partition of yellow rosewood is exquisitely made of Duobao Pavilion, copper kettle, jade bottle, all kinds of rare antiques are all covered with shelves. Next to the Nanmu inlaid treasure dressing mirror table stands the ebony Ruyi Xiangyun jewelry box shelf, and on the other side is a set of yellow rosewood tables and chairs. On the case against the wall, there are all kinds of auspicious food prepared for the wedding, noodles from white heads to old age, dumplings full of children and grandchildren, and dumplings for a long time.
took the paper and pen, leaned on the case, and wrote quickly: "What you have agreed for a lifetime, it is good to marry forever; Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. ”
There were a few knocks on the door, and Hongfu and Qi Qiuli squeezed into the cave room. Seeing that Wanying's face was flushed, she didn't care about teasing and asking, and said hurriedly: "Miss, it's amazing, there are still two sedan chairs in the palace, which are Miss Feng and Miss Zhou." Hongfu looked angry.
Qi Qiuli also said with a heavy heart: "Miss, the Feng family's dowry is about to be placed in our yard, it is really arrogant. ”
"Yes, miss, didn't the prince say that he wouldn't marry these two old girls, how dare they fish in troubled waters and stuff the sedan chair into our palace."
"Miss, in the edict announcing to the world, it only says that the concubine is married, and the two young ladies are never mentioned."
"Qiu Li is right, just now we took advantage of the young lady's bath and went out to see the excitement, and the Feng family told the people who came over that the queen mother made their young lady a side concubine."
"Hongfu and I hurriedly ran to another courtyard, and the servants of the Zhou family also said that their young lady was a side concubine."
Hongfu was so anxious that she only shed tears, and said resentfully: "We patronized the excitement along the way, but I didn't expect them to sneak into the palace while we were too happy." Miss, let's live in the same house with these two young ladies in the future, thinking about this, Hongfu can't help but want to scold her mother. ”
"How can there be such a cheeky person in this world, the prince does not marry, he should secretly stuff his daughter into the palace, is their daughter thrown on the street, no one wants it? Squeeze here and block us. ”
When Hongfu heard Qi Qiuli's words, she whimpered silently: "It's really too deceitful, even if you sneak into the palace, the two families put the dowry all over the courtyard, especially the Feng family, the dog is powerful, and dares to put the dowry not far in front of our courtyard, isn't this a clear shout?" ”
Qi Qiuli wrinkled her nose and said: "That Zhou family is not much better, the two families are in cahoots, you see the Zhou family's flat shoulders leaning against the courtyard wall next to us, is their courtyard wall collapsing?" ”
"Then the Feng family did it on purpose, three or five little servants guarded the dowry closest to us, waiting for me to ask, I was also stupid, why didn't I expect it to be their family, I thought it was our people who were confused, how to put the dowry everywhere." Hongfu was angry and gritted her teeth and said.
Wanying was originally waiting for the arrival of the beautiful scenery. Hearing the two of you chattering endlessly, the interest in my heart has long since faded. Although he had already been until Feng Zhou, the two young ladies would sneak into the palace when Prince Rong greeted him. But now, I am still a little depressed. It's like a beautiful white brocade dripping with a drop of dirty blood.
Wanying was melancholy, Hongfu sobbed, and Qiuli kept sighing. Yun Niang pushed open the red door, squeezed in, and saw that there were all her own people inside, and said with a heavy face: "Niangniang, the prince heard that there are two more sedan chairs in the house, leaving the distinguished guests in the outer courtyard, and came in angrily, shouting for the two families to carry the sedan chair away." ”
"Hurry up and let them carry them away, so as not to stay here and block the young lady." Qi Qiuli said.
"It's still that the prince is a real man, Hongfu really admires it."
Yun Niang gave the two of them a color, but even Wanying was in full view.
"You two don't stop here to block Niangniang, the sedan chair has been brought in, the prince and Niangniang have also worshiped heaven and earth, they are concubines, this is considered to be the door. How easy is it to carry it out? ”
Wanying took a piece of peony-patterned letterhead, pinched the wolf hair in her hand, and gently dipped it in ink, before she could write, Hongfu said again: "Auntie, the prince told them to leave, but he didn't recognize them as concubines." ”
Yun Niang pulled Hongfu and said: "Silly girl, when you enter the door, even if you are concubines, you don't need to worship heaven and earth, they are also the side concubines of the prince." ”
"Hongfu doesn't understand, since the prince doesn't recognize them, why can't he let them go."
"If you stop them before you enter the door, that's one thing. But the sedan chair has been carried in for a long time, and I heard from the two families that it was half an hour earlier than our lady's sedan chair! ”
"They calculated the time correctly, and took advantage of the fact that the prince went to our mansion to pick up the young lady, and then sneaked into the palace."
"It's too late to say anything now, since they have come in, they will definitely not be able to leave, and the guests outside still don't know about the turmoil in our inner courtyard, just now the prince's nurse, asked me to come over and ask the mother for an idea, and pass a word to the prince, so that the prince can go out to accompany the guests quickly."
While a few people were talking, Wanying had already written two lines of small words on the paper: "Liulang, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the beautiful scenery of the good day, don't be trivial, disturb our good things." Even though the two of them in the palace were on their side, Qing'er firmly believed in her heart that Liulang only loved Qing'er alone in this life. ”
Put down the brush and fold the letter paper into a lily. Looking up at the three of them, it was still you who said what I said and what she said.
"Yun Niang, hurry up and hand over this letter to the prince."
Yun Niang took the paper lily in her hand, carried the tassel palace lamp of the palace, and walked directly to Prince Rong's side along the path laid out by the Feng family's dowry.
"Lord Wang, this is the queen mother's decree, the two young ladies have been brought in, and they are the concubines of the lord."
"Mother, don't defend them, the queen mother has told this king many times, but this king has never agreed, whoever lets them in, will carry them to whom."
"Lord Wang, I can't help it, they are already the side concubines of our Prince Rong's mansion, don't you let others laugh at them when you take them out?"
"How many times has this king said it, this king doesn't recognize them, and they all take them away!"
"Lord, the Queen Mother has already discussed with Concubine Zhengniang, and Concubine Niangniang also agreed."
The red lantern shone on Prince Rong's face Tieqing, and no one was angry in his heart, but when he heard that Wanying had agreed, the nurse clearly saw the prince's face, and a trace of surprise flashed.
Yun Niang took the opportunity to walk up to the prince and quietly stuffed the paper lily into the prince's hand. The prince unfolded the letter paper, and with the help of the lantern, he saw that it was written by Wanying himself.
Carefully fold the letter, tuck it into the cuffs, and brush it away. The servants and nurses of the Feng family who were left behind all breathed a long sigh of relief.
The nurse walked up to Yun Niang and said in an incredibly arrogant tone: "Are you from the Shi family? ”
Yun Niang looked at the expensive old woman in front of her, remembered the tone she had persuaded the prince just now, and secretly touched her heart: "She is dressed so decently and luxuriously, and she can talk to the prince in such an elder tone, she must be a respected grandmother in the palace, I can't be lazy." ”
Thinking of this, he bowed his head sideways and said, "Yes, I am the princess's maid in marriage." ”
After hearing this, a trace of boredom and annoyance flashed in the nurse's eyes, and she said in a straight voice: "There are no rules, Xiaolan, tell this grandmother about the rules of our palace." ”
A little maid walked up to Yun Niang and said respectfully: "Back to Mama Li, the slave maid is the princess's maid of dowry." ”
Yun Niang was stunned, and then realized her gaffe. At home on weekdays, I am used to simple etiquette, this is the prince's mansion, and the rules are exactly the same as in the palace.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly leaned over and said: "Back to Mama Li's words, the slave maid is the princess's maid Yun Yi." ”
The dark clouds on Mama Li's face still did not disperse, and in the dense night, Yun Niang didn't need to look up, just listening to the tone, she knew that this Mama was still dissatisfied with her faux pas.
"Okay, since we have entered the palace, we are all subordinates, and we must guard our duties as subordinates, and serve our masters well, and we can't pick up three or four in front of our masters, I can't rub sand in my eyes, if I let me know, there are servants who take advantage of today's affairs to make a fuss in the future, I will not spare it."
Yun Niang was stunned, she didn't expect that the gorgeous woman in front of her was such a clean and neat person, who was so cheerful and cheerful, not only did not flatter the new concubine, but in front of the concubine's marriage, she bluntly said that she was not allowed to mention today's matter in the future.
Yun Niang was stunned, and hurriedly nodded in agreement. I only heard this woman say sharply to the Feng family's entourage again: "The prince's concubine is the same as the noble concubine, and she is the first lady of the imperial court. Feng is just a side concubine, with no rank, let alone a fate. In the future, the morning and dusk will be fixed, and there will be no delay, this is the rules of the royal palace, do you understand? ”
The slaves of the Feng family were originally secretly happy, but they didn't expect the nurse to turn her head and give them a slap on the head.
"Minions understand!" The servants of the Feng family nodded in agreement.
"Good, good! I am the nurse of the prince, and I am also the housekeeper of the palace, and I can't take care of anything outside in the future. But in this inner courtyard, if any slave dares to be a demon under my nose, I will do things according to the law and will not condone it. You all heard clearly, no matter what happened outside, there were only two masters in the palace, one was the prince, and the other was the concubine. We who are slaves can only take the thoughts of these two masters as our own thoughts. Don't make a mistake, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Yun Niang was secretly surprised: just now in front of everyone, she reprimanded herself for not understanding the etiquette of the palace, and now she is marrying the servants in front of the Feng family, and she has made her identity as the concubine clear. It seems to be impartial, but in fact it is still biased towards the concubine.
