Chapter 13: Provocation
The next morning, as soon as the sky turned white, Yu Qingfeng got up.
Shan Yue'er felt empty around her, and struggled to sit up, looking at Yu Qingfeng who was changing clothes, Shan Yue'er was a little embarrassed, and got off the couch slowly, "I, I'll call someone to freshen up for the prince." ”
Yu Qingfeng grabbed her, shook his head, and said, "There are little servants waiting for me outside!" I didn't sleep much last night, so let's rest again! Remember to go to the Plum Courtyard to meet my mother later, you haven't seen her yet! ”
When Yu Qingfeng said these words, he was serious, and he didn't mean to laugh at all. But Shan Yue'er felt blushing and heartbeat, this man called her a lady? "Lord, can you, uh, change your name?"
Yu Qingfeng's hand holding the buckle paused for a moment, and said, "Is the lady bad?" Without waiting for Shan Yue'er to answer, she said to herself: "Madam? Looks too old. Princess? It's too formal. ”
Shan Yue'er flatteringly went over to help him buckle the last buckle, and said softly: "Actually, the prince can call my name directly." ”
Yu Qingfeng shook her little hand and said with a smile: "Yue'er? It's okay to be closer. ”
Shan Yue'er stepped back, "Lord Wang, hurry up!" ”
Yu Qingfeng didn't force it, but only instructed: "I'll go to the council hall first, and I'll pick you up from the concubine later." ”
Shan Yue'er agreed, and went back to the couch to lie down for a while, but she was completely sleepy and bored, so she called Caishang and them to come in and wash her.
This concubine of the Yu clan is still less than fifty years old, but she is a real rich idler in this Jade King's Mansion. She was already frail, and since the old prince of the Yu family passed away a few years ago, she couldn't afford to be sick, and all the affairs inside and outside the house were handed over to her two sons to take care of, and she rarely asked about it herself.
But now that the eldest son is suddenly going to get married, and he is still married to a foreign county lord, she is inevitably a little unhappy in her heart. You must know that the princesses of this Qianxiang country are all from their own clan, royal blood, how can they be from foreign women? Although she didn't explicitly oppose it, she really felt in her heart that her eldest son Qingfeng was a little willful this time.
The first time I met my mother-in-law, in order to leave a good impression, Shan Yue'er carefully dressed up today. She was wearing a long silk skirt embroidered with a silver silk flying phoenix picture, stepping on red embroidered shoes embroidered with Shu brocade mandarin ducks, her head was in a cloud bun, a flying phoenix golden step was inserted in her hair bun, a red phoenix flower that could bloom was inserted in her right sideburns, a forehead pendant made of red agate fell in front of her forehead, and a pair of gold inlaid red agate earrings were on her ears. The whole person looks radiant, and even more beautiful than the wedding day.
According to the rules, she went to the concubine's chaise longue and bowed.
Concubine Yu didn't help her get it immediately, but said slowly: "Since you have become the daughter-in-law of my Qianxiang country, I hope you will keep your duty and take my Qianxiang as the most important thing in everything." ”
Shan Yue'er knew that the concubine was setting rules for herself, so she lowered her head, made a deferential appearance, and said: "Mother, please be relieved, as the old saying goes, follow the father at home, follow the husband at home, and the daughter-in-law will take the prince first in everything in the future." ”
Only then did the Jade Concubine allow her to get up and give her a seat.
Shan Yue'er sat on the wide stool on the right hand of the concubine, looked up, and found that there was already a young woman sitting there opposite, now staring at herself.
Shan Yue'er is very sure that the woman is not the Yulan Feng she met that day, so who could it be? Shan Yue'er didn't think much about it in her heart, so she said: "Mother, I don't know who this sister is?" ”
Before the concubine could speak, the woman was busy with the salute, only to see that she was blessed with a blessed body, and said, "The courtier Liu Qingqing has seen the county lord." ”
Liu Qingqing said this strangely, she knew that she had married the prince yesterday, but she called her the county lord instead of the princess, could it be that she was a rival in love? Thinking of this, Shan Yue'er was not polite, and said bluntly: "Qingqing girl's words are so strange, since I have married the prince, the girl is the child of this Qianxiang, so it is natural to call me a princess." ”
Liu Qingqing's face turned red, and she hurriedly said: "The courtiers don't check for a while, and I hope that the princess will forgive her sins." ”
At this time, Concubine Yu spoke, "What forgiveness is not forgiven, it will be a family in the future, and it is good for sisters to be commensurate, it is too polite to be outsider." ”
After that, Concubine Yu put a jade bracelet on Shan Yue'er's hand, patted her tender jade hand, and said, "Look at you, you are a cheerful person, and the concubine won't go around in circles with you." This Qingqing is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and my cousin and niece, and she is my most proud choice for the princess. Now, since Qingfeng has made up his mind to make peace with the Celestial Empire, it is not easy for me to stop it. It's just that this Qingqing, since he was a child, he has been a childhood sweetheart, and I will make the decision to be a side concubine for him, I hope you don't think too much about it. ”
Shan Yue'er broke out in a cold sweat when he said it, good guy, just after the wedding night, my mother-in-law was in a hurry to marry her husband a side concubine, how undesirable is this? Knowing that she couldn't refuse, she had no choice but to say: "It is right to ask the lady to open up the branches and leaves for the palace, and the mother concubine only consults with the prince on this matter, and the daughter-in-law does not dare to say more." ”
Concubine Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you are sensible." ”
As he was talking, he heard the little girl next to the concubine report: "Concubine, the prince is here." ”
Concubine Yu said to Shan Yue'er: "In this case, if you are wronged, you should go to the warm pavilion to avoid it first, I want to discuss with him about marrying a side concubine, you are here, I am afraid that he will be embarrassed." ”
Shan Yue'er avoided the warm pavilion as she said. This warm pavilion is only separated from the main hall by a wall, and Shan Yue'er understands in her heart that Concubine Yu specially wants her to listen to the conversation between the two people in the hall.
Yu Qingfeng entered the door and asked Concubine Yu to say goodbye, and said, "Mother, where is Yue'er?" ”
Concubine Yu was a little displeased, and said, "But I haven't seen you for a few hours, so I can't bear it like this?" You didn't see your Qingqing sister sitting there? ”
didn't want to be called unfilial for no reason, Yu Qingfeng had to say a few words to Liu Qingqing.
Although this Liu Qingqing has some posture, she is only in the middle and upper posture, and she has been a grinding person since she was a child, and Yu Qingfeng has no good impression of her, let alone a relationship between men and women. It's just that Concubine Yu is wishful thinking, always thinking about kissing and kissing.
Concubine Yu didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "Right now, I also married the concubine according to your own temperament, but after all, she is a foreign woman, and the heirs who will inherit the throne in the future must not come from the blood of other clans, I heard this truth with me that day." You also promised me that it was just a stopgap measure. In this case, marry Qingqing as soon as possible, so as to give birth to an innocent heir for you as soon as possible. ”
mentioned this, which gave Yu Qingfeng a headache, it was just a prevarication that day, but he didn't expect his mother to take it seriously, and he was still thinking about letting him marry Liu Qingqing. He said patiently: "But the mother concubine, the jade kings of all dynasties have only one concubine, and the son does not dare to marry the side concubine." Besides, Yue'er and I just got married yesterday, and we haven't had seven mistakes, how can my son marry again? ”
Concubine Yu still refused to give up, and said unrelentingly: "You still dare to say that the Jade Kings of the past dynasties, the princesses married by the Jade Kings of the past dynasties, including your mother and me, are all the people of this Qianxiang country." What about Shan Yue'er? She is the county lord of the Celestial Empire, not my race, how can she be of the same mind as you? ”
Seeing that Concubine Yu was really angry, Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to give in, "Mother concubine don't be angry, this matter, the son will consider it, and ask the mother concubine to give her son some time, and the son has his own opinions." ”
Hearing this, Shan Yue'er felt that her heart was completely cold. It is not without her that she thought that when she traveled to this ancient country, she would face the embarrassing situation of sharing her husband with others. But since she heard Xiaoxiao talk about the ancestral training of the Yu family who never married the side room, she really had the obsession of being a couple with him for the rest of her life, and now it seems that everything is just wishful thinking.
It turned out that he was just an expedient measure for him to marry her. It turned out that everything was just her wishful thinking.
