Chapter 030: Attack on the spot
Chapter 030 was attacked on the spot
"Three princesses? I remember that she wasn't on the guest list for the banquet? What's going on? ”
Wang Qifang, who was busy receiving visitors, was secretly puzzled after hearing the greeting from the porter, and took the time to ask the asters beside her.
"Back to the second young grandmother, I really didn't invite the third princess,"
Zi Yuan admired this bold and upright third princess a lot, thinking that when she came to the capital to deliver the letter, if she hadn't met the third princess, her errand would not have been completed so easily.
She stretched her neck and looked at the flower hall in front of her, and sure enough, in a group of gorgeously dressed wives and girls, she saw the familiar figure, "That day, the slave maid was ordered by you to go to the third princess's house to deliver something, and the steward of the princess's house said that the war in the northwest was about to break out, and the third princess was worried that the war was coming, and the court was caught off guard, so she went around trying to raise military salaries and supplies, and was not in the house."
Therefore, when the list of banquet guests was counted later, she took into account that the third princess might not be in Beijing, and Mrs. Zhao was in awe of the third princess, and the last incident made the third princess look at it correctly, and she didn't want to take the initiative to see the third princess...... For this reason, there was no post to the third princess"
"So, what's going on?"
Wang Qifang's eyebrows added a bit of gloom, it was not that she did not welcome this chivalrous third princess. It's just that...... With the identity and status of the third princess, she never uninvited Mrs. Zhao who was several grades lower than her to congratulate her on her birthday.
Well, if it wasn't for the third princess to ask for something from the Zhao family, it would have been invited by someone else. But who is it? Wang Qifang was really puzzled.
At this moment, a sour voice came, which could be regarded as giving Wang Qifang the answer-
"Yo, third princess, you are finally here, I am really afraid that my status is low and my face is small, please don't move you, the famous princess of the protector of the country."
"What is Yan Niang, what are these words, I have a clear line three, where can I be worthy of the title of the eldest princess?" The third princess glanced at the eldest sister who was sitting quietly on the side, and said in a calm tone: "Besides, the real eldest princess, my eldest sister Princess Jing'an is here, don't talk nonsense"
"The eldest princess of the country" is just a joking name in the folk and the ranks, the third princess is not the eldest daughter of the first emperor, the real eldest princess is the Jing'an princess born to the late Feng Zhaoyi. However, Princess Jing'an because of her biological mother's low status and the fact that her family is not prominent, and the concubine was on the wrong side when the emperor won the heir, so the saint does not value her today, and it also makes the existence of Princess Jing'an more and more diluted, except for the major celebrations of the royal family, Princess Jing'an hardly goes out.
As for the third princess, although her biological mother died early, her status is not low, and her uncles are also the ones who lead the soldiers in the army; Second, the relationship between the third princess and today's saint is irreversible, and she has led her women's army to fight for the emperor more times, and has made great contributions.
As a result, the reputation of the third princess is getting bigger and bigger, and there are even some flatterers, in order to pat the third princess's sycophant, they shouted the title of 'princess protector'.
Today's saint is also grateful for his sister's merits, and has taken a tacit attitude towards this rumor, which makes this name more and more widespread, coupled with the storyteller's fabrication, the anecdotes and legends about the three princesses have even spread to the people.
Ordinary people, where do they know the twists and turns of the nobles in the palace, and the storyteller has a nose and eyes, so they believe it, and directly call the third princess the eldest princess, as for who the real eldest princess is, they don't know the birds.
"Hey, come less," Zhao Yanniang pursed the corners of her lips, didn't look at Princess Jing'an, directly pulled the arm of the third princess, walked towards the hall, and her disdainful voice came from afar: "You just pretend, who in the world doesn't know, as long as you mention the eldest princess, it doesn't mean you, the 'Iron Lady of the Martial Family' who is personally named by the Holy Lord today?" ”
Completely ignoring Princess Jing'an, who looked stiff behind her.
"Whew, it turned out that my aunt invited me."
Seeing this scene, Wang Qifang let out a long breath, and the speculation in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. She turned around and was about to continue entertaining visitors, but found that Zijuan, who had been following her, was gone, and hurriedly asked, "Ziyuan, where is Zijuan?" ”
"Back to the second young grandmother, just now a person who claimed to be from the plum blossom opera troupe called Sister Zijuan away, saying that the master of the Su class had something important to discuss with her"
"Something important? What, what went wrong with the troupe? ”
When Wang Qifang heard this, her heart that had just fallen was suspended.
"The slave doesn't know," Zi Yuan shook her head and guessed, "There shouldn't be anything wrong, the courtyard where the plum blossom troupe rests, there are our people." If something goes wrong with the troupe, those people will definitely come and report it to you."
Thinking about it, Wang Qifang felt that she was a little bit of a soldier, she smiled uncomfortably, "Well, you have a point." ”
As he spoke, he raised his legs and walked to the flower hall, all the guests who came to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhao for her birthday had arrived, and she, the housewife, should also go to receive her in person.
When I came to the flower hall, I saw several young women wearing pink skirts, talking about something around Aunt Su, who had a big belly.
Seeing this, Wang Qifang's brows couldn't help but twist into a ball again: This Aunt Su is really not a troublemaker.
It stands to reason that Aunt Su is Zhao Tianqing's concubine, which is equivalent to half of the Zhao family's minion. On such an important occasion as today, the concubine is not qualified to attend, otherwise, outsiders will laugh at the Zhao family's lack of rules when they see it.
"Yo, isn't this the second young grandmother," Wang Qifang was about to ask someone to get Aunt Su back to the room, but a woman's voice came from behind her, she turned her head and found that the person who came was none other than Aunt Su's sister, the wife of the prince's guest, Lord Wang.
"Hehe, don't blame your sister," Mrs. Wang didn't care about Wang Qifang's indifference, but smiled and came to her side, her eyes couldn't help but drift to Aunt Su in the distance, and said with a little show-off: "It's not that my sister doesn't understand the rules, but during the time when you were 'recuperating', my sister-in-law was responsible for entertaining visitors to the Zhao family...... To tell you the truth, there are really a few wives, young grandmothers and my sister who are very close to each other, and every time they come to Zhao's house, they designate her to entertain them."
What do you mean? Show off or taunt?
Wang Qifang smiled coldly, did not answer this conversation, but politely greeted Wang Su's family, and then turned around and left.
And the other wives, when they saw Wang Qifang come forward to entertain them, they were stunned first, and they didn't know what kind of trouble the Zhao family was making. When they saw the pot-bellied Aunt Su, they all looked like 'I see'.
Regarding the rumors of the second young master of the Zhao family favoring his concubine and killing his wife, everyone present had heard of it, and they all secretly laughed at the Zhao family for a long time.
Later, his wife Wang Qifang was squeezed out of Zhuangzi by the concubine, and then Wang Qiniang's foreign family came to support her, which really made the Zhao family make a fuss, and let the dignitaries and nobles in the capital see the excitement.
Later, Wang Qifang gave birth to twins and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, Zhao Tianqing personally went to pick up people, and everyone thought that Wang Qiniang, the wife, had finally survived to the early days; Unexpectedly, what happened next made everyone who speculated realize that they had come to a conclusion too early, how could the farce of the Zhao family end so easily?
Alas, the mistress gave birth to twins, and the favored concubine became pregnant, and the threatened mistress made the decision to her husband, Donami Concubine...... For a while, everything that happened in the backyard of the Zhao family was spread out, and it seemed to have become the best conversation before and after tea in the upper class society in the capital.
Now, there is a better chance to witness this farce with their own eyes, and there is no reason why everyone can't come. This is one of the reasons why everyone actively participates in the birthday party. After all, in terms of identity and status alone, many of the people present were more than a star and a half higher than Mrs. Zhao.
"Hehe, second young grandmother, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still recognize this palace."
It was a woman next to Princess Jing'an who spoke, I saw that she was slightly chubby, her round face was slightly powdered, she was wearing a gorgeous hairpin dress, combing a high cloud bun, and there were red gold flowers and Nanzhu gold in her bun.
"The concubine visits Princess Jingnan, the eldest princess"
When Wang Qifang heard the voice, she hurriedly turned around, recognized the identity of the person who called her, and hurriedly curtsied and saluted.
"Oh, the second young grandmother is too polite, we are all in-laws and old friends, where did we come from so much red tape." Princess Jingnan smiled lovingly, as if she was an elder Wang Qifang was familiar with, holding her hand, the princess said gently: "I heard that you gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus a few days ago, and your body is well raised?" By the way, what about the children, hehe, we haven't been able to drink the full moon wine, and now that they are all in your house, we can't even see the children's faces."
The other wives next to them also coaxed when they heard the princess's words, "That's right, I have long heard that Zhao Ershao's grandmother gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and I haven't had a chance to see it, since they are all here today, then take the child out, so that the big guy can also see it."
It's not that these wives are curious, but in Da Zhou, it is rare to give birth to twins, let alone give birth to a son and a daughter.
Seeing this, Wang Qifang knew that it was not easy to shirk, so she quietly instructed Ziyuan and asked her to inform the nurses to bring the child.
After a cup of tea, the two nurses hugged the little new brother and the little ball, everyone saw it, and they hurriedly gathered around, this one looked at the fat boy, that one looked at the pretty girl, and for a while there were bursts of laughter in the flower hall from time to time.
Only Aunt Su, who was left aside by everyone, twisted the handkerchief in her hand hard, and looked at the bustling crowd in front of her with hatred. was even more ruthless in his heart, "Hmph, look at your frivolous appearance, why can't you be born when no one else?" Later, if you anger the nobles, I'll see how proud you are."
After teasing the children for a while, Mrs. Zhao also walked out with the support of the girls, and after some greetings, Mrs. Zhao led the guests to the garden at the back door of the flower hall.
When everyone saw the stage, they had different expressions on their faces. In the end, everyone looked at Wang Qifang sympathetically, and secretly regretted in their hearts - alas, I really haven't been a homemaker, how can I make such a mistake?
Wang Qifang didn't know everyone's thoughts, she just thought that the big guy looked at her strangely, but when she looked back, people returned to the way they laughed just now.
Shaking her head in confusion, Wang Qifang sat down with Mrs. Zhao in her arms, and then ordered the troupe to start the play.
At this time, Zijuan ran back sweating profusely, but before she could stop it, the gong had already opened on the stage.
"Bang, who arranged this? Well, I don't know if the emperor has just issued an edict not to listen to these beautiful voices, why, there are still people who are so arrogant that they don't even listen to the emperor's orders"
As soon as the drama on the stage appeared, there was an angry shout from the audience, and then several women's soldiers in armor rushed onto the stage and surrounded the actors and musicians
