Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Banquet
The Battle King's Mansion was completed, and the people in the capital said hello.
Yu Wu'er regrouped her mood, sent her back, and learned a lot of her parents' sister's long-sleeved dance, although she was not at ease, but the basic merit was still okay.
This day happened to be an auspicious day that was chosen, and Wen Jinzhi should have been there, but he had important things in the army, so Wen Hou had to entertain the man.
And she entertained the ladies.
Wen Jinzhi has been named the king of war for a while, although he has been congratulated by everyone once before, but after all, the meaning is different.
Now that the mansion is officially completed and occupied, it is a congratulation again, and it is also a housewarming, which is much grander.
As long as you don't want to make a feud with the War King's Mansion, almost all the people who sent the post over came, and for a while, it was full of guests and friends, and it was bustling.
Men and women are seated separately, most of the men are in the study, and the female dependents are here in the garden, winding water, enjoying flowers and drinking tea.
Yu Wu'er didn't often attend this kind of banquet before, and the lady next to her may have a few handkerchiefs before getting married or become close friends with a certain lady after marriage, and usually get together at banquets. And now that she is the master, the eldest sister is still angry with her, so she didn't come this time.
However, even if there is no familiar wife, there are many people who are familiar with the eldest sister, and now that her identity has changed, there will naturally be no fewer people who come up.
Even if she thinks about being pure, she may not be pure.
Yu Wu'er followed Liu Mei behind her, sitting in a pavilion drinking tea, watching others go to enjoy the flowers or go to talk, smiling gently.
"War Princess, as the master, you can be so leisurely, it's really enviable."
These words sounded harsh, Yu Wu'er's smile faded, and she looked at the person who came, not quite remembering who this person was.
After Liu Mei noticed her wife's expression, she bent down and whispered to her: "Madam, this is the wife of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Wang Hua's. ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department, did she have a holiday with her husband?
"It's not as leisurely as Madame, after all, there were already a lot of things when I was still in the Hou Mansion, and now that I have changed places, everything has to be arranged, I'm not leisurely at all."
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not confused when he is near, and it is not easy to climb to the official position of the second grade, she heard that it seems that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department loves beauty, and is very suspicious of spoiling concubines and killing wives.
The affairs of the house have always been managed by the favored concubines, and there is nothing to do with the wife at all.
If so, it is clear why this lady is.
It's nothing more than envy, jealousy, hate.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the lady's face changed, and she was very different.
However, it only took a moment for her to smile again. "Actually, if you want to be a concubine, why is the princess so tired, just let these things go to those cheap concubines, and you don't just fall easily."
Yu Wu'er smiled, although she did agree with this, but ...... What is the lady saying to her about this now......
I can't think of any words to describe it. All in all, this lady is really funny.
"Ma'am, please be seated." She smiled and stretched out her hand to invite.
Mrs. Wang thought that she had listened, and was about to say another after sitting down, when she heard Yu Wu'er say: "Madame can't manage the family, but I'm different, my husband doesn't worry about others, and there are no concubines in the house except me." ”
"Huh? How could it not be, the princess is afraid that she is mistaken, the identity of the concubine is clearly heard earlier, the king of war accepted a concubine more than a month ago, and she is still a noble concubine, and her status is precious, but for some reason she only got a noble concubine, and even the side concubine deserves it. ”
This lady is really blindless.
Yu Wu'er's smile faded again, and she didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Another lady who had been sitting next to her, who had been silent, was dressed nobly, and whose status seemed to be equal to that of Yu Wu'er, coughed, picked up a handkerchief and covered her lips.
Seeing that Yu Wu'er was impatient, she still helped her change the topic for the sake of Yawei's face.
"Princess War, look at that flower, is it beautiful?"
She pointed to a spot in front of her where everyone was watching, where a crape myrtle flower did bloom.
Yu Wu'er looked in the direction she pointed and nodded slightly, but in fact, everyone blocked her view, and she didn't see it.
"Princess, you only have one concubine in your house, which is really lucky, but men have had three wives and four concubines since ancient times.
Obviously, the meaning has been expressed very clearly, but I didn't expect that this lady was not blind at all, but stupid.
Yu Wu'er stood up directly, invited another person, and said, "Madam, that flower is really beautiful, let's go and take a look." ”
Before Mrs. Ping Taifu could answer, Mrs. Wang took the lead in standing up, and her hand was about to stop her.
Liu Mei behind her quickly blocked in front of her wife.
"Mrs. Wang, my princess's daughter is noble, you better be careful."
A maid dared to talk to her like this, Mrs. Wang didn't know what she thought, and her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Liu Mei.
Seeing that look, I don't know what this Mrs. Wang wants to do, Yu Wu'er frowned, and said, "I don't know if Mrs. Wang wants to stop me, what's the matter?" ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she glared at Liu Mei fiercely, and then said to Yu Wu'er: "Princess, the concubine is here for your good, now that the city is full of wind and rain outside, the words are not very good, you should still ......."
"Mrs. Wang, don't worry about it." Yu Wu'er interrupted her impatiently.
I really regret just letting her sit down.
……
Yu Wu'er and Mrs. Ping Taifu walked together in the garden, neither of them was a man of many words, although they did not speak, they could see that they were comfortable.
Other families report what banquet, or something or something is purposeful, the host will lead the guests, but Yu Wu'er is different, although this banquet is ostensibly a housewarming, she doesn't say anything.
She didn't do anything more than lead the ladies into the garden at the beginning, and now she let it go, just strolling leisurely by herself.
"Speaking of which, that Madame Wang is also a legend."
Thinking of what happened in the pavilion just now, Yu Wu'er was speechless, and looked at Mrs. Ping Taifu suspiciously, not knowing why she suddenly mentioned this matter.
"What does Madame say that?"
"I think the princess has only heard others say that there are many concubines in the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department, and she once spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, these are indeed facts, but her position as a wife has never wavered. Even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department himself once said that he would not divorce his wife. ”
Yu Wu'er was curious by what she said, "Could it be that this Mrs. Wang is so special?" But when she looked at it, she really didn't see it.
Mrs. Ping Taifu shook her head, "Definitely." ”
"Shangshu of the Criminal Department started from scratch, and it can be seen from the fact that a civilian can walk to this position, and his wife is also from the market, but he has no guesses about his childhood sweetheart."
Yu Wu'er guessed, "Madame means that Lord Wang cares about the old feelings?" She couldn't believe it.
Mrs. Ping Taifu smiled and looked at Yu Wu'er.
"Naturally not. If Mrs. Wang cares about the old feelings, then the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department in the first place and the punishment he came up with with his own hands may not be tenable. ”
It's not because of the old feelings, it's not because of the extraordinary, and Lord Wang is not a man with deep feelings, so what's the reason?
"Did the princess ever know that although there are many concubines in Lord Wang's family, there is a strange phenomenon, that is, none of them have ever been pregnant."
Could it be that it is a backyard selfishness? In this way, Mrs. Wang still has the means, but she is a little stupid.
From her expression, Mrs. Ping Taifu could know what she was thinking, and shook her head helplessly.
Since it was implied that she didn't understand, she could only change her ways, and Mrs. Ping Taifu directly pointed out the point.
"Because Lord Wang...... Physical causes. ”
Yu Wu'er looked at her in surprise, but no, Mrs. Wang has a son.
"Lord Wang was injured later, so Mrs. Wang can't do anything, but if she has a son, her status will never change."
That's true.
"I heard that the noble concubine of the War King is the county lord of Ling Kingdom?"
Mrs. Ping Taifu suddenly brought up a topic that was unrelated, and it was the last thing Jade Wu'er wanted to hear.
The concubine said so much, but from the perspective of the princess. The mother is more expensive than the son, that is, no matter how much the king of war loves the princess, if she takes the lead in giving birth to the prince's heir, I am afraid it will ......"
Speaking of which, Yu Wu'er finally understood what she meant.
What she means is that I am afraid that with Yu Xianchen's identity, it is absolute to take the position through her.
However, her husband told her that he and Yu Xianchen were in name only.
So she's not worried about that.
It's just that, thinking of this, Yu Wu'er glanced down at her own belly......
She has already used the prescription given to her by her eldest sister, and she doesn't know when she will get pregnant......
……
"Princess, the prince is back."
Towards dusk, when the feast was about to end, the breeze came to report the incident to her.
At that time, many people heard it, and they all smiled clearly, and it seemed that the king of war was really as rumored to be for the princess, and his affection was thick.
Yu Wu'er herself was overjoyed when she heard it, and she thought that her husband was going to come back in the evening today.
"Where is the husband now?"
"Back to the princess, the prince is coming to Linshui Pavilion."
The name of the place where they are is called Linshui Pavilion, and the husband actually came back to look for her, she thought it was ......
"The princess is really a blessed person, and the prince of war is so loving."
This is enviable.
"No matter how much love you have, it's not that you have two concubines!"
It's jealous.
"There are two noble concubines who are not fake, but the first one is given by the emperor and must be accepted, but the second one is a self-recommended pillow seat, which is not what the king of war wants."
This is someone who has good intentions towards her.
Yu Wu'er glanced at them one by one, and only noted down the people who had good intentions to her, and for the others, she should not have heard them.
