Chapter 56: Self-Knowledge

Seeing Jiang Shanshan sitting alone there, her face was sad, and naturally there were people who were good friends with her to comfort her, Mingzhu stood alone on the side, seeing that everyone regarded her as a flood beast, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely and boring. was about to leave, and the Empress Dowager happened to send someone to call her, so she took the opportunity to follow.

Seeing her gone, the nobles whispered, "Look at her arrogant look! Is it glorious to repent of marriage and use knives again, and make such a fuss? With her, there is no time for an ansheng, and she will not be comfortable if she doesn't stir up trouble for a day, and she will hurt the second sister Jiang. ”

Jiang Shanshan lowered her eyes and said softly: "It's none of her business, blame me for talking too much." ”

Someone said: "My sister just kindly wants to pull her up, who would know that Her Royal Highness the princess will just bump into her?" ”

When it came to Funing, everyone quieted down, and the man also felt that he was speechless, and remedied with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is also a straight person who can't rub sand in his eyes. ”

Jiang Shanshan said worriedly: "Your Highness has a straightforward temperament, and I don't know if I will be punished." ”

Everyone said babblingly: "No, His Royal Highness is famous for his good temper, at most he just scolds a few words, what else?" There's a concubine up there. ”

As he was talking, he heard the main seat laugh violently, and everyone raised their eyes to look over, only to see Mingzhu in front of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Concubine Min, Concubine Xiao and others talking with their eyebrows, coaxing the nobles to laugh, and they all pouted their lips with jealousy and disdain. Only Jiang Shanshan lowered her head expressionlessly, her eyes full of hatred.

She knew that Yu Wenchu didn't like her, and she was very disgusted with this family affair from the beginning. In order to facilitate this family affair, she didn't know how much effort it took to convince her father, and I don't know how much effort it took to get the love and support of Concubine Min, and it took countless efforts to get this marriage. It wasn't once or twice that Yuwen Chu wanted to get rid of this family affair, she knew who it was for. In the past, she was not worried, because Fu Mingzhu would never have Yu Wenchu in his eyes, but now the situation seems to be getting worse and worse, presumably he will soon have to do it again, and this time, it will probably be very serious. What to do? Jiang Shanshan raised her eyes to look at Concubine Min, her expression was pitiful and uneasy.

Concubine Min was smiling at Mingzhu playing treasure, but she didn't notice it, but Aunt Xia Yan beside her found out in time, first gave Jiang Shanshan a slightly calm look, and then leaned over to Concubine Min's ear and whispered a few words. Only then did Concubine Min look back at Jiang Shanshan, smile lovingly at her, and turn around and tell Aunt Xia Yan a few words. Aunt Xia Yan walked up to Jiang Shanshan and said softly: "Niangniang said, please stay for a while, Niangniang has something to say to the girl." ”

"Yes, I will follow my mother's will." Jiang Shanshan smiled very gently, gratefully held Aunt Xia Yan's hand, and said softly: "Thank you, Auntie, you love me so much, I can't forget it." ”

Aunt Xia Yan shook her head and chuckled: "It's not worth anything, it's not as good as a girl taking care of my parents at home for many years." ”

The two shook hands and smiled at each other.

Here Mingzhu did not mention the dispute between her and Princess Funing, and the Empress Dowager did not ask, but after laughing, she rewarded her with a good inkstone: "I heard that you have been writing and painting at home recently, and I will use it for you." ”

Mingzhu thanked for the reward, and when she saw that her mother and sister-in-law were slightly worried, she leaned over and smiled heartlessly. Cui Shi said in a low voice: "Didn't hurt you anywhere, did you?" ”

Mingzhu shook her head: "No." "Fu Ning has not been able to beat her since she was a child, and she has always been a defeated subordinate, but now that she is learning to be obedient, she doesn't want to be too arrogant in front of so many people, otherwise where will she wait for Yu Wenchu to mediate.

Cui Shi scolded her: "Why are you making trouble all the time? Look at everyone getting together to play as good sisters, why are you so annoying? ”

Mingzhu was unconvinced: "Who said I don't have good sisters?" It's just that no one came. She also has one, two, or three good sisters who have the same smell, such as Princess Changhua, Cai Mingshu of the Hou family of Wuning, and An Xiaogu of the Duke of Yueguo. Princess Changhua felt the cold, Cai Mingshu married to Jiangnan, An Xiaogu hadn't come yet, and those who wanted to tie her up couldn't look down on her, so she would be singled.

Cui Shi saw that she was uplifting, and he couldn't take her: "Don't cause trouble again!" The concubine treats you well every day, and the King of England has helped you a lot, what will happen if you let Funing a little? ”

Mingzhu stuck out her tongue at her delicately: "Got it! ”

While speaking, the banquet began, and the queen mother of the two palaces drank a few glasses of wine and then found an excuse to leave, leaving the venue for everyone to enjoy themselves. Concubine Min was easy-going, and when she saw that the young girls were sitting boring, she asked the palace people to take them out to play. Mingzhu was impatient to join in the fun with them, so she discussed with Cui's: "I went to see Changhua, she is sick, she must be very boring." ”

Cui Shi saw that she couldn't sit still, and thought that she had just had such a thing, and she didn't want to hang around in front of people, so she told Concubine Min that she asked a reliable and familiar palace person Ning Zhi to send her over.

Mingzhu walked all the way, and could hear the laughter of Jiang Shanshan and others earlier, but then it gradually disappeared, and when she approached the deserted Hanlian Palace, Ning Zhi suddenly smiled and said: "A few days ago, the slave maid was looking for a nest of wild duck eggs in the reeds by the Qingbo Lake, which should have hatched, just a few steps away, do you want the girl to go over and take a look?" ”

Mingzhu and he are familiar with each other, and they don't doubt it, so they said: "Okay, if there is one, I will take out two of them for Changhua to raise, so that she will not be bored alone." "Princess Changhua's mother went early, and she has no brothers and sisters, so she is not doing very well.

The two walked to the lake, Ning Zhi took off his shoes and tucked his robe to the lake to look for wild ducks, and Mingzhu sat on the shore and waited. The lotus leaf has grown half a person tall, a few pale pink new lotus flowers are trembling, and the petals are still rolling with crystal dewdrops, Mingzhu wants to pick a branch down, only to bend down, and I heard someone crying in a low voice in the rockery not far away: "You have no conscience, seeing that Fu Mingzhu is younger and more beautiful than me and has a powerful father, do you want to abandon me?" ”

Mingzhu didn't want to care about this kind of nossy thing, but when she heard people mention her, she couldn't bear it, she didn't want the lotus, and the wild duck didn't care, so she tiptoed up her skirt and leaned over, stuck it on the rockery and walked in, and faintly saw a shallow pink gauze skirt exposed, so she stood and listened with her ears sideways.

only heard a male voice say: "Don't listen to the wind is rain, Fu Mingzhu just got into that with my good ninth brother, whether it is up or down, whether it is the Queen Mother or Fu Xiang, no one dares to easily propose the dissolution of the marriage contract." How could this king be involved? ”

This voice is very familiar, and it turned out to be the voice of Wang Yuwenlong of Anyang. It's really shameless, Mingzhu remembered the disgusting appearance of him wagging his tail in front of him before, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips sarcastically, and listen to how this play is going to be sung.
