Chapter 307: Pavilion Gathering
Mrs. Ling seemed to see Mrs. Chu's doubts, and once again raised her voice to be vigilant, "Everyone is a sister who serves the prince, we are so enthusiastic, is it possible that Sister Chu wants to dismiss our hearts?"
Mrs. Chu bit her lower lip lightly, and when no one saw it, a faint glance swept under her beautiful eyes, and when she looked up again, her beautiful face was already filled with a gentle smile, "Since you sisters are warmly invited, the concubine does not dare to refuse." After that, he looked at Xue Hainiang and Mrs. Liu again, "I don't know if Concubine Niangniang and Mrs. Liu will go together." ”
Xue Hainiang smiled like a flower, "Since Mrs. Ling is warmly invited, how can there be no reason not to go." After that, he looked at Mrs. Liu again, "Mrs. Liu wants to go along?" Although it was an inquiry, the tone of confidence seemed to be that Mrs. Liu had already answered.
Mrs. Liu originally had the intention of going to the theater together, but now she responded to this question, "Naturally." ”
Yes, the group went to the pavilion in the back mountain.
If Mrs. Ling said that she had no plan this time, it would be fine, because she did not only invite Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Liu, Xue Hainiang, etc., she handed a message to all the ladies in the back house, but the Chu family took extra care of it and came in person.
Houshan Pavilion,
To Xue Hainiang's surprise, although Mrs. Ling's prestige in the mansion was not high, the ladies who were invited by her all came as promised.
Perhaps, is it really for the so-called blessing that even a three-year-old child would not believe when he said it?
At this moment, Xue Hainiang sincerely sympathized with these eighteen ladies of King Qinghui, although it was for the family to glorify the lintel, although it was given into the palace by the emperor himself, but this time she entered the mansion, as if she had been widowed.
Because of Nan Jiuxi, Nan Shuke will not openly fight with him, and reconcile with the wives he gave, so he has to grieve this group of noble women who are in the prime of life, who can marry the son of the right family as a wife, but now he is committed to the royal family as a concubine, and some people may have never seen their husbands since they entered the mansion.
The reason why Mrs. Chu was able to conceive an heir, she could guess a few points from Juan'er's words - she must have used some unruly means behind her back.
During the fugue, Mrs. Ling had already arranged for the maid to serve refreshments.
Xue Hainiang lifted the lid of the cup slightly, picked up the teacup and sent it to the tip of her nose to sniff lightly, well, excellent, it is Biluochun that she has always loved.
As Mrs. Ling said, it was just more than a dozen sisters gathered together to talk about the world, and by the way, they discussed the husband they served together, His Royal Highness King Qinghui.
"The concubine feels it, I want to come Chinese New Year's Eve most of the women brought back by the prince the night before are the people that the prince cares about, no, as soon as the woman leaves, the prince will disappear......" When Mrs. Yin said this, she subconsciously glanced at Xue Hainiang carefully.
Nowadays, there are many rumors in the imperial city that His Royal Highness King Qinghui favored the side concubine Xue given by the emperor this time. Did the side concubine Xue unintentionally marry the prince, or did the prince personally ask the queen mother and His Majesty for the will, which made the beauty agree, and there are many good stories closely related to the two in the market.
They also believed it before, and even made up their minds to please this beautiful woman who was rumored to make the prince bend his waist, but now that they look at it, it is really impossible to believe the rumors.
The beauty is born with a beautiful face, however. On the wedding day, the prince did not greet the relatives in person, and on the wedding night, the prince hung it aside, such a number one person, if it was said that the prince personally asked the queen mother and the emperor for the will, they didn't believe anything.
Mrs. Liu also glanced at Xue Hainiang along Mrs. Yin's line of sight, and then as if she remembered something, she hurriedly lowered her head and shouted softly: "Don't say these words about chasing the wind and shadows, we still don't know what the identity of that woman is, besides...... The side concubine is the prince who personally asked the emperor and the queen mother for the will, and the prince must be concerned about our side concubine. ”
How could Xue Hainiang not know their twists and turns.
Yin Hong's lips hooked up a flirtatious smile, don't say it's someone else, even Mrs. Liu, who is the most thoughtful, can't figure out what kind of thoughts Nan Shuke has for her.
On that day, Mrs. Liu was present, and she also saw with her own eyes how she Xue Hainiang denied this marriage, and she also watched with her own eyes that day, sitting beside her, why did her nominal husband leave the table halfway, and why did he turn around and ask the Queen Mother for advice. This pile of piles is a sharp thing that will always be stuck in her heart.
Xue Hainiang said vaguely and ambiguously, "What did Mrs. Liu say, the concubine was just the emperor looking at the banquet for a while, maybe it was the strength of the wine, but it was so that the emperor felt that the concubine was as compatible as His Royal Highness, so it was just a red line." ”
Although she said so, no one in the present believed her.
If it weren't for Nan Shuke's secret maneuvering, with Xue Hainiang's humble status as a maid in front of the palace, how could he marry into the mansion as a side concubine?
The Chu family seemed to be very happy to see everyone focus on Xue Hainiang, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, drank the fragrant tea prepared by the maid, and used some pastries carefully prepared by Mrs. Ling, as well as the sour plums and tribute oranges that Mrs. Ling specially prepared for her next to the pastries.
She has always had a sweet tooth, and Rao's preference for being pregnant has not been consumed, but she has almost never touched the sour fruits such as sour plums and mandarins next to the pastries.
Yun covered her lips and smiled lightly, her delicate and shy face was filled with a humble smile, "Concubine Niangniang don't want to be so thin...... she looked at Mrs. Liu and smiled, "Mrs. Liu was also there that day, and Mrs. Liu must know the details best." ”
This question made Xue Hainiang look up to him a few points.
No one in this mansion knows that although Mrs. Liu is still a concubine, she actually takes care of the trivial affairs of the back house, and is the same as the side concubine.
Yun's words have a bit of a sense of getting closer to her and being an enemy of Mrs. Liu.
Xue Hainiang thought of this, and the smile on her lips deepened.
Mrs. Liu was really as Xue Hainiang thought, and the smile on her lips was a little unbearable. Although he didn't know how to abuse and even thought about how to retaliate in the future, he still maintained a gentle and friendly posture on his face, "The concubine has always been a bad drinker, and she drank too much that night, and she was groggy and didn't know what happened later, otherwise the concubine would definitely go to see her after the dinner." ”
Xue Hainiang smiled, and she didn't know if she believed these words or not.
