Chapter 7 The concubine finds fault

On the second day, the Peony Courtyard is about to usher in an uninvited guest.

Praruo Lang had just had breakfast, and at this time, he was ridiculing Xiao Zhao in his words, and Xiao Zhao's face flushed.

"The one who ransomed your body is actually a young general, I can't see that our Xiao Zhao is quite promising, and you may be able to mix up with the general's wife in the future."

Xiao Zhao's face was panicked for a while, and he hurriedly begged for mercy from Praruolang: "Princess, don't make fun of me, Xiao Zhao knows his identity, how dare he have such an idea, besides, Xiao Zhao has to stay with the princess all the time." ”

"Hey, how many times have I told you, don't call me princess now, now you are my nominal sister outside, you can call me Langlang directly in the future, so as not to make a big fuss about it when someone has a heart hears it." Pra Ruolang said helplessly.

"Yes, yes, my Miss Langlang~" Xiao Zhao was amused by Pranyalang's fake look.

When the two were laughing, they saw the cuckoo coming from outside.

"Miss Lang, the concubine of the palace has come to visit you in the Peony Courtyard."

Pra Ruolang frowned, she had only come to the palace for the second day, and Xiang Shaoqing's concubine began to be unable to sit still? She didn't think that this beautiful woman would just come and walk around.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a brutal voice from outside the courtyard: "Qianmei is here, why hasn't the master of your Peony Courtyard come out to greet you!" ”

"Qinghe, why bother with those who don't understand the rules, don't lose our identity." A sarcastic voice came again, this was what Qianmei said to Qinghe on the side.

"Madame's lesson is that Qinghe really shouldn't worry about people who don't understand the rules, after all, we are all people with status, and we are different from the cats and dogs who come in outside." Qing He's voice did not have a trained tone, but was more and more full of scorn for the people in the Peony Courtyard.

Pra Ruolang listened to the master and servant singing the same words as Peking Opera, and had a headache, feeling that the master and servant were deliberately here to find fault.

didn't wait for Pra Ruolang to speak, but Xiao Zhao couldn't bear to press it first:

"Presumptuous! Who gave you the audacity to do this...... Lang Lang speaks! Xiao Zhao almost couldn't stop and spit out the word princess, but fortunately, he finally reacted and remedied it in time.

Seeing the sarcastic princess of the master and servant who came in, Xiao Zhao naturally took out the posture of being a princess maid in the palace. Nonsense, the princess is very likely to become the princess of this palace in the future, and now she can't call a little concubine to bully her in advance.

Qing He didn't expect that someone would dare to be so unreasonable as soon as he entered the palace, and instantly scolded Xiao Zhao nervously: "You dog slave, you dare to talk to us like this, I don't think you take the entire palace in your eyes." ”

Praruolang was speechless, but she couldn't tolerate others bullying the people around her, ignoring Qing He, who had an arrogant face, Praruolang directly moved her gaze to the gorgeous and swaggering beauty dressed on the side, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile:

"It turns out that the concubines in the Shaoqing Mansion have cultivated such a pungent temperament, and this arrogant appearance is about to cross the master of the palace." She deliberately bit the words "concubine" and "master" very hard, and this master naturally refers to King Chen or the princess, but there is no princess in the palace for the time being, and the word concubine is naturally ironic about the identity of the beautiful woman, don't think of yourself as the mistress of the palace.

Qian Meiren resisted the urge to step forward and tear apart the beautiful face of Pan Ruolang, gritted her teeth and said:

"Hao Lisuo's fangs and sharp mouth, the prince has not given you an identity yet, so arrogant and domineering, even if I am just a concubine in the palace, I am much stronger than you, a woman who has no name and no distinction in the palace." In her heart, although she is just a concubine, she is the personal maid of Xiang Shaoqing's mother and concubine before her death, when did she suffer such grievances from others when Concubine Jin was alive.

"Bold Enchantress! Dare to speak to Qian Meiren like this, do you know that our beauty was given to the prince by the prince's mother, you think they are all as nameless and scoreless as you! Qing He heard Qianmeiren's voice, as if he was encouraged, and immediately took out another arrogant shelf.

At this time, the cuckoo and the magpie in the peony courtyard looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do, and they didn't dare to offend either side, so they could only bow their heads and pretend to be dumb.

The magpie knew the reason why this beautiful woman came to the door, probably because of the trouble caused by her mouth, yesterday she just met a few maids who usually like to gossip together, so she showed off to them that the prince brought a beautiful woman to arrange in the peony courtyard, but she didn't want to hear the wind and come to the door today, and for a moment the magpie was full of guilt in her heart.

Pranya Lang looked at the pair of obscure master and servant in front of him, and did not show an angry expression because of what they said, but said with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth:

"I don't care what your identity is, what your background is, and where you are sacred, in short, I advise you to put away your sense of superiority, don't always put on a disgusting and resentful face, and don't find yourself a superfluous sense of existence, no one here will buy your bad debts."

"You ......" Qianmei was so excited by Pra Ruolang that she couldn't hide her anger, and she didn't know how to answer, so she rushed to the front of Praruo Lang with a strong stride, and then raised her high hand and slapped it ready to fall.

Praruo Lang sneered in his heart, he wanted to beat someone when he was angry? Praruo Lang was about to reach out and hold Qianmeiren's arm, but he didn't want Xiao Zhao to suddenly block in front of Praruolang.

"Smack!" Suddenly, a crisp and loud voice came from Xiao Zhao's left face.

In fact, from the scene where Qianmei rushed up in anger and was about to slap Praruolang, she happened to be seen by Xiang Shaoqing, who came to visit Praruolang, until the slap finally fell firmly on Xiao Zhao's face, Xiang Shaoqing was glad that Praruolang was not injured and at the same time angry at Qianmei's spicy domineering.

Praruo Lang reacted, Xiao Zhao was beaten! At this moment, Pan Ruolang's eyes were full of raging rage, looking at Qianmeiren's arrogant face, but the words were said to Xiang Shaoqing at the gate of the courtyard that she had already noticed.

"Lord Xiang, your concubine hit Xiao Zhao, you must have seen it with your own eyes, you won't just forget about this matter."

Xiang Shaoqing was helpless, he naturally heard the forbearance and anger in Praruolang's tone, but he knew that he was at fault, this was the trouble caused by the concubines in his mansion, and it was impossible not to give someone an explanation, after all, he himself let Praruolang and Xiaozhao live in the palace.

"Bold and beautiful woman, you are restless and quiet in your White Lotus Courtyard, why did you come here to make trouble!" Xiang Shaoqing's tone was full of coldness.

Qianmei was already stunned by Xiang Shaoqing who walked in, why did the scene of her beating just fall into the eyes of the prince, how should the prince view her in the future, the prince will definitely think she is a shrew in the future.

In an instant, Qianmeiren's eyes were soaked with tears, and her voice was choked and full of grievances to defend herself:

"Lord Mingjian, the concubine is just hearing that there is a new sister in the palace, so I thought today to see if my sister was neglected by the people of the palace, after all, the concubine is also a concubine in the palace, so it's not good to let my sister suffer the grievances of the subordinates as soon as she enters the palace."

"Then why are you hitting people again?" A trace of impatience flashed in Xiang Shaoqing's eyes, and he didn't want to hear her say something useless.

Qian Meiren gently wiped away the tears under the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, bit her lip and continued:

"Because Qinghe had a little dispute with those two girls just now, and said that the concubine was the concubine personally pointed out to the prince by the princess's mother... Unexpectedly, Miss Langlang made a disrespectful remark, saying that no matter what my identity and background, even if the princess and concubine were here, she wouldn't buy it, woo woo... Others scolded me, but when it came to implicating the deceased princess, Qian'er couldn't tolerate it, and then there was this scene that the prince just saw..."

Praruo Lang was laughed at angrily, this woman is completely different from before, even if she misinterprets her words with oil and vinegar, she is embarrassed to cry here, it is simply a strange thing with a capital letter.

"Lang Lang, she's telling the truth?" Xiang Shaoqing also knew that he couldn't listen to the words of Qian Meiren, and he also believed that Praruolang would not be such an unreasonable person, but he still wanted to hear what Praruolang said.

"Okay, so many people here, everyone should know exactly what I said. Cuckoo Magpie, you have been in the courtyard all along, but do you remember if I said a word of disrespect to the princess and princess? ”

Although the cuckoo and the magpie were afraid of Qianmeiren, they didn't dare to lie to the prince, and they all said no, maybe Qianmeiren remembered it wrongly and accidentally misinterpreted the meaning of Langlang girl's words.

Qianmei cried even more fiercely, she also knew that now she couldn't defend herself anymore, otherwise it was very likely to attract the disgust of the prince, so she had to sobbed and said: "That... That's probably because the concubine misinterpreted the meaning of her sister's words, but the concubine missed her mother very much, so she was excited to do something wrong, and asked the prince to atone for her sins......"

"Well, your original intention is also to protect the reputation of your mother, so you will be sentenced to three months of confinement, and you will not be allowed to appear in the Peony Courtyard in the future. Xiang Shaoqing waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.

Qianmei gritted her teeth, and the prince had only looked at herself since she came here! Another glance! Why didn't he want to keep his eyes on her for a little longer?

Praruo Lang watched Qian Meiren being helped away by Qing He, and glanced at herself fiercely before she left, Pra Ruolang knew that Qian Meiren should hate herself.

After Qianmei left, Xiao Zhao retreated with the cuckoo magpie, leaving Xiang Shaoqing and Pra Ruolang alone to stand in the courtyard.

Thinking that he had a dispute with his concubine when he first came to the palace, he was also a little embarrassed when he faced Xiang Shaoqing, so he asked tentatively:

"Do you want to go into the house for a cup of tea?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Xiang Shaoqing looked at the cramped Pan Ruolang with a funny face, today she was dressed in plain clothes without powder, but she did not lose her elegance.

The cuckoo added tea for the two of them and withdrew, thinking that looking at the prince and Miss Lang was really like a couple.

"Shaoqing's concubine's heart is still quite hot, I don't know if anyone will come again tomorrow after leaving today." Pranya Lang was the first to break the silence of the room.

"Lang Lang rest assured, I will inform you, and in the future, no one will disturb the purity of the Peony Courtyard without my permission" Xiang Shaoqing's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and asked again: "Can Lang Lang be satisfied with this?" ”

Pra Ruolang smiled and narrowed a pair of crescent eyes, and deliberately pretended to be coquettish: "Langlang thanks Shaoqing Gongzi, Langlang is very satisfied, very satisfied." ”

Xiang Shaoqing was amused by her, and thought of teasing her again: "Oh? So since Langlang is so satisfied...... That's not as good as ...... Langlang will follow this king. ”

Praruo Lang squirted out a sip of tea, remembered King Chen's comment "Merry", and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Langlang just wants to marry an ordinary person in this life, monogamy and wife to old age, I can't stand serving a husband with others at all." ”

Xiang Shaoqing was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect that the reason for her rejection was actually this. Which woman now doesn't want to be able to marry a powerful person, even if she is a concubine, there are people who follow one after another for the sake of wealth and wealth. Isn't the crown princess such a person, I just hope that the person she marries will have as high a status as possible in the future. And this Langlang's posture and charm are so good, in the future, he can marry a high-ranking official and a powerful person and be rich in his life. didn't expect that she would just want to live an ordinary life of monogamy in this life.

"Langlang's idea is very good, not bent by high-ranking officials and magnates, so that he admires it."

"Shaoqing is serious, I just don't like to bring such a thing as class between family husband and wife, I think there should be no other people involved between two people who love each other, this kind of polygamous family I think is too cruel to women."

Pranya Lang is a human being from the 21st century, who has long since escaped the era of slavery society, and what is in the bones of modern people does not allow her to be impressed by reality. She would rather never marry in this strange place for the rest of her life, and she would not like to share a man with others and live in a world of competition for favor all day long.

Xiang Shaoqing was slightly moved by what she said, the belief passed down by the ancestors in their era is that men should strive to be powerful, and then have many women, give birth to many heirs, carry forward the family business, and win glory for the family. Even if the two love each other, the woman can only enjoy the favor brought by her husband at home, and the husband and children manage the family backyard. As for the monogamy mentioned in Prajnalang's mouth, it can be said that it is completely perverse, unheard of, unseen.

Although there is some truth in Langlang's words, these words cannot be said casually outside in the future. After all, polygamy has long been prevalent in this society, and if these words are heard by those who have a heart, it is inevitable that you will be regarded as a great rebel. Xiang Shaoqing said this with a bit of sincerity, and secretly admired her natural rebellion.

"Then I will thank Shaoqing for his kind words and reminders, I naturally will not say these words to others casually." Pra Ruolang felt in his heart that although Xiang Shaoqing was praised by the outside for his absurd affairs, it seemed that his essence was not bad, at least he didn't do anything to hurt her and Xiao Zhao after taking her out of Chunqi Pavilion, and now he kindly reminded him, and his heart has changed a little about him.

Xiang Shaoqing drank the last sip of tea in his hand, put down the teacup, and got up to say goodbye to Pra Ruolang:

"In a few days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month of July, which is the day when Dali feasts the envoys of various countries every year, and then go to the palace to start preparing for a business, and then leave first."

After Xiang Shaoqing left, Praruolang remembered that it seemed to be almost the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and he didn't know which envoy this year's Yunuma Congress would send to Dali to pay tribute. On that day, he had to hide quietly in King Chen's Mansion so as not to be recognized. ”
