Chapter 67: After the Banquet (II)
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
vs 198 Chapter 67: After the Feast (II)
The queen and concubine in the palace have their own plans, and they are all calm and relaxed.
But Mrs. Su, who returned home, couldn't calm down, and almost as soon as she entered the door, she sent her left and right, leaving only her daughter-in-law, and grabbed Shen Zangning without sitting down and asked, "What you just said is true?" ”
Shen Zangning nodded affirmatively-but she was really not trustworthy in Mrs. Su's mind, so Mrs. Su looked at her for a long time and couldn't see that she was weak-hearted, but she was still not at ease, and pointed at her and shouted: "I'll tell you, if you only have the one thing of running to the imperial garden to play with Princess Qingxin without permission, I will beat you up at most!" If you dare to lie again, I'll lock you up in the yard and never think about going to your grandmother's house again!" Do you hear that? ”
The mother-in-law scolded the sister-in-law, of course, the daughter-in-law had to be round, and they all persuaded Mrs. Su: "Although the fourth sister is a little naughty, she has always been measured." Since the fourth sister is sure, there will be no mistake in thinking about it...... But what is it? It's not good to look at my mother's face on the road, so why don't I say it and let the daughters-in-law see if they can share their mother's worries? ”
Mrs. Su snorted, didn't answer any questions first, and said, "What measure does she have?" I can't even see it! It's all you who protect her left and right, and when you're used to it, there's no time to worry! ”
The people in the circle were trained together, and they were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say for a while.
Shen Zangning didn't feel sad or sad, she was usually suspected by Mrs. Su not once or twice, but at the moment she just pouted: "Mother doesn't believe it, just send someone to Su's house to ask the second aunt?" Can this be hidden? I'm not stupid, I deliberately lied to my mother for a while, and then I was definitely beaten back by my mother, why do such a stupid thing? ”
…… Mrs. Su believes that her daughter is not worry-free, and she is indeed not stupid-then again, if Shen Zangning was really a stupid person, she would not have tossed so many things!
Glaring at her daughter fiercely, Mrs. Su finally sat down and told her daughters-in-law about the matter: "Ning'er said that just now when they were surrounding Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin to look at the lotus flowers in the imperial garden, they met the eleventh prince. ”
It's no longer normal to meet the prince in the imperial garden, but if it was just to meet, Mrs. Su wouldn't have heard Shen Zang's whispered words and her face changed greatly. Sure enough, Mrs. Su continued: "After the eleventh prince greeted Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin, he paid close attention to Yu Fei, and asked who Yu Fei was. ”
Not long after Wei Changying arrived in the imperial capital, he was still very unfamiliar with the royal family, but the Liu family and Duanmu clan, who were born and raised in Beijing, showed embarrassment.
Liu Shi had a headache and said, "Eleventh Prince...... How did you meet him? ”
Mrs. Su sighed and said, "Isn't it? Originally, Yu Fei had also reached the age of talking about marriage, but your second uncle and mother loved their daughters and wanted to keep them for two years before marrying, so now although they also look at the young son in Beijing, they don't pay too much attention to it. I don't want to recruit the eleventh prince now! Although this prince has a noble status, his biological mother Zhou Baolin is a confidant of the Qian family after the abolition, and the current Empress Gu died violently soon after taking charge of the middle palace. After the eleventh prince, he was raised by Princess Anji's biological mother, Mrs. Zhenyi, but Mrs. Zhenyi's body was not very good, and she was sick for three days, in fact, she just let him grow up in Jiamu Palace. The prince is young and lonely, and there is no considerate person to persuade and enlighten, so he can't help but lose his temper, and it is said that he has several lives under his hands over the years. It's better to have your own hands...... Yufei has always been pampered, where can he be the material for the royal daughter-in-law? ”
Wei Changying didn't know what was wrong with the eleventh prince, so that the Liu family had a headache when he said it, but now he suddenly realized after listening to Mrs. Su's explanation. These eleven princes have such a tyrannical temperament, although there are only examples of treating palace people at present, but who knows if they will treat the concubine like this?
What's more, Su Yufei was not a gentle person who could endure it, just looking at her tirelessly painting those blood and tears makeup, like crying makeup, and enthusiastically teaching her cousin Shen Zangning, you know that this girl is also a fun-loving master. This kind of junior, the elders who have a little scheming will find her an honest and loyal husband and marry a bad temper like the eleventh prince...... Although the second lady of the Su family is also surnamed Zhang, she is not Liu Ruoyu's stepmother! Besides, the fifth lady of the Liu family, the Zhang family, is not good for her stepdaughter, didn't she push her own daughter to the East Palace?
It's no wonder that Mrs. Su was so worried when she heard the news, although Su Yufei's father Su Mao was not a son-in-law, how could he also be Mrs. Su's half-brother. Besides, listen to what Mrs. Su meant, these eleven princes and Queen Gu still have a grudge against killing their mother!
Although I don't know why Empress Gu tolerated the eleventh prince and grew up safely, the eleventh prince is now sixteen years old and has not yet been crowned king...... His biological mother Zhou Baolin has passed away, and his adoptive mother, Mrs. Zhenyi, is not in good health, and she is not favored, and she can't even protect her own daughter Princess Anji, how can she have the strength to speak to him? Besides, with Queen Gu here, even if Mrs. Zhenyi speaks for her adopted son, it is difficult to say what effect she can have - when the time comes, God knows which corner the eleventh prince will be sealed to!
The future is not good, the temper is not good, and the queen is still the opposite, who wants to marry such a family?
Mrs. Su was in a great embarrassment, and the daughters-in-law didn't have any good ideas, so they could only propose: "Or take advantage of the fact that the eleventh prince hasn't done anything yet, and settle the family affairs for the third cousin first?" ”
"To whom?" Mrs. Su didn't think of a way to marry her niece quickly, the eleventh prince is still favored, although she is not as good as the two princesses Linchuan and Qingxin, but she is also favored among the princes.
So if he told the saint and the saint opened his mouth, it would be difficult for the Su family to refuse.
But if Su Yufei already has a marriage contract, then the Su family has a ready-made reason to refuse Shangyi. After all, the saint also needs to be face-saving, and it is impossible to rashly grab a kiss with a courtier. With the emperor's favor of the eleventh prince, it was not enough for the Holy Lord to do such a thing for him that disregarded the royal reputation.
But the biggest problem now is that the Zhang family wanted to keep their daughter by their side for a few more years, and Su Yufei is only fifteen now, so he didn't choose a son-in-law seriously at all. As a result, I want to marry my daughter in a hurry, but who is it for?
Su Yufei is still the eldest daughter of the second room of the Su family - if she marries poorly, how can the Zhang family be willing?
Mrs. Su couldn't think of a suitable candidate for her niece and son-in-law, and the daughters-in-law felt very tricky when they looked at each other. There was silence in the hall, but Shen Zangning said, "Why is my mother in a hurry? Then Shenbo inquired about the origin of the third cousin at that time, and happened to ask me, how could the third cousin have something? ”
"What did you say?" Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment, and she didn't care about teaching her not to call the prince by his name, and shouted in a deep voice!
Shen Zangning said triumphantly: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that he was uneasy and kind!" Shen Bo has a violent temperament and loves to do things, I have heard this matter mentioned a long time ago, he wants to know who the third cousin is, and he just asks others, but he picks me to ask, how can I tell him the truth? ”
Mrs. Su couldn't help but lean forward slightly from the seat and asked, "Then how did you tell the prince?" ”
"I originally wanted to talk nonsense casually, but when I thought about it today, I was in the palace today, and the eldest young lady of the Zhibentang Huo family seemed to have troubled the third sister-in-law, isn't this a ready-made candidate?" Shen Zangning smiled and said, "It's just that the Huo family and Wei Lingzi are not very old enough, so I will say that it is Wei Lingyue." ”
…… Wei Lingyue is sixteen years old this year, and there is only one year difference between her fifteen-year-old Su Yufei, and they are all pampered ladies, how can you see the difference of one year? Even if the eleventh prince Shenbo acted cautiously and sent someone to inquire about Wei Lingyue's appearance and age, I am afraid that he would not see the flaws.
Mrs. Su was dumbfounded for a long time, but she didn't praise her as Shen Zangning thought, but instead jumped like thunder: "Nonsense! What nonsense! As long as the eleventh prince asks if Wei Lingyue has left the table today, he will definitely be able to know that you are lying! You are so bold that even the prince dares to lie! ”
Shen Zangning flattened his mouth and argued: "The queen doesn't like Shen Bo, where can Shen Bo go to inquire about the banquet in Weiyang Palace?" Originally, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin was Shen Bo's younger sister, Shen Bo could ask Her Royal Highness the princess directly, and Her Royal Highness the princess might not lie to him! He just didn't believe Her Royal Highness the princess, that's why he asked me! He didn't even believe in Her Royal Highness the Princess, so how could he believe the palace people of Weiyang Palace? Maybe I thought that the queen didn't want him to get his wish, so she deliberately misled him! ”
It makes sense to hear what she said...... It's just that Mrs. Su still rolled up her sleeves, grabbed Shen Zangning and dragged her to her, raised her hand to give her a chestnut on her head, and said hatefully: "Then now your cousin is fine!" But in the future, the eleventh prince knew that you lied to him, and you said what would happen to you! ”
Shen Zangning touched his head and said nonchalantly: "Why should I be afraid of him? When I entered the palace, I either followed my mother or accompanied Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin. Besides, he is sixteen years old, and after his birthday in October, he will be given a marriage and a king, and then he will leave for the fiefdom as soon as the wedding is over - the queen mother does not like him, and will definitely try to make his fief far away, so as not to be called back from time to time, who knows if he can have a chance to come back after leaving the imperial capital in this life...... What can I do if no one else is in the imperial capital? ”
The three sisters-in-law wiped their sweat together: "Mother, the fourth sister thought of everything, and the mother was angry." ”
Mrs. Su thought about it and felt that there was no place to blame Shen Zangning, but she always felt that why did this daughter do things so uncomfortably and wanted to beat her so much? So he still hit her twice hatefully: "You think about it, why didn't you say it?" Is it fun to watch me and your sisters-in-law rush together? ”
Shen Zangning burst into tears aggrievedly: "Didn't my mother say last time that when you were talking to your sisters-in-law, I wasn't allowed to interject indiscriminately?" ”
…… It seems that he did reprimand his daughter like this?
Anyway, she scolded this daughter too much, and Mrs. Su herself didn't remember it, so she would be a little embarrassed by her daughter's rhetorical question, Mrs. Su coughed dryly, and said with a straight face: "Anyway, if you don't tell me this time, you will run to the imperial garden, although there have been." But I think you should deal with it properly, and spare you this time! ”
Shen Zang listened with tears in his eyes, and almost took a pen and wrote the words "Eternal Strange Injustice" on his face. When Mrs. Su noticed it, she scolded: "What are you wronged? You think you're credited? If you hadn't taken Her Royal Highness to the Imperial Garden, you would have met the Eleventh Prince? If you don't meet the eleventh prince, can you have this thing? Everything was born by you, and you are embarrassed to show your merits! Don't you expect me to praise you? ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin wants to go to the imperial garden to see the lotus flowers, and she called us hide-and-seek, so I didn't pick it up!" Shen Zangning sobbed, "Mother, you have wronged me again!" ”
Mrs. Su said angrily: "Then why did you follow? What are you doing not want to drag your cousins back to the main hall first?! Dare to quibble! Do you want to get beaten?! ”
When Shen Zangning heard this, he cried even louder: "You will scare me with beatings!" I see that mother, you know that I am not wrong, and you helped my third cousin, but you have to admit my mistake...... Are you angry? ”
When she said this, Mrs. Su was really annoyed and angry-she said angrily: "You still dare to talk nonsense!" Believe it or not, I really hit you? ”
The three daughters-in-law had to step forward again to persuade and comfort them...... When the door was opened, he saw Taifu Shen Xuan standing outside the door with an unexpected face, coughing: "Madam, this is?" ”
Before Mrs. Su could answer, Shen Zangning had already jumped up, ran to him in three steps and two steps, threw herself into her father's arms, pulled Shen Xuan's sleeve and cried and complained: "Mother, she wronged me and beat me!" Father, you have to call the shots for your daughter! ”
…… Shen Xuan finally calmed his daughter from howling and crying to sobbing, wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, turned to Mrs. Su and didn't have the heart to ask the reason again, waved his hand to tell the daughters-in-law to get up, and said to himself: "Danxiao's eldest daughter-in-law is about to enter the door, and it is inevitable that Zangzhu alone will have a place where he can't handle it." And her identity also has a lot of inconvenient things, just Danxiao came to discuss with me, and I want to ask you and your daughter-in-law to help worry about it. ”
Although Shen Zangzhu is Shen Zanghui's own sister, she is a widow and has no children. It is naturally unlucky for her to take care of such a happy event as a wedding, and in the end, she still has to borrow talents from the Taifu Mansion.
Mrs. Su was also wiping her sweat, and when she heard this, she said, "This is how it should be." "Just to the daughters-in-law, "Our family doesn't have any major events these days, you will go to your second uncle together tomorrow and take over your eldest sister's affairs." ”
Liu Shi hurriedly said to the three people: "Yes! ”
