Princess Rong's birthday banquet ended hastily.

However, most of the guests were not dissatisfied, after all, they ate several big melons today, added a lot of talking points, and returned with a full load.

In the main hall of the back house, a 'family' of King Rong's Mansion gathered here.

The old lady sat on the throne, half-squinting, muttering scriptures, and there was no joy or anger on her face.

After sending off some important guests, King Rong hurried back and sat on the left side, his expression was very complicated, some heavy, some hesitant, and there was a faint trace of joy.

Concubine Qian sat next to him from a few cases, her face was pale, and she seemed to be holding back her anger.

Next is Zhao Ying, because the Wei family's father and son are sleeping, she doesn't have to worry for the time being, so she also rushed to this 'family meeting', she is angry at the moment, and seems to be very dissatisfied with everyone else.

Then unexpectedly, the Qian family sisters and brothers were also present, thinking that it was Concubine Qian's meaning, King Rong only glanced at it and didn't say anything.

And on the right, it is usually a guest seat, sitting here, faintly implying that it is a guest, an outsider!

First, according to the rules, King Zhong should have come to sit, but Zhao Mengqi asked Huang to sit there.

Huang was cramped and restless, his limbs were at a loss, and his head was deeply bowed, as if he were a quail, and his whole body was full of fear.

"Mother, my son is here, you can relax." Zhao Mengqi comforted softly.

And Zhao Yan simply didn't sit still, stood beside Huang, and let her hug herself, which was better.

All the servants and maids were dismissed, and there was silence in the main hall for a long time.

Mrs. Quan finally finished reciting a section of the Huayan Sutra, opened her eyes and glanced at everyone in the hall, "Qian's, Desun said that the Huang family's courtyard is meager, and her mother and daughter are even tight on food, how do you explain this?" ”

Although Mrs. Quan can't be the queen mother because of legal principles, her identity as the biological mother of the official family is unchangeable, not to mention that she is still Concubine Qian's mother-in-law, and she can do nothing on weekdays, but Concubine Qian never dares to disobey her.

Hearing the question, Concubine Qian restrained her anger and explained, "Niangniang, the amount of money in the Huang family has always been allocated in full and on time, and every sum is truthfully recorded in the account, and there is also the Huang family's flower charge on it, and the concubine can't understand why King Zhong has this accusation." ”

It's really fearless, and it can be pushed away with a word.

Mrs. Quan sighed in her heart, she had long guessed that this daughter-in-law from a famous family must not be so simple, how could she easily fall into the handle of doing things, and after thinking about it, the Qian family had a transcendent status in the Great Song Dynasty, and the relationship was still not good and too stiff, so she intended to make a big deal small.

"Huang, did you leave the flower in person?"

As soon as he heard the old lady call him, Huang subconsciously stood up and bowed down to answer, "Back to the old lady, yes, it was left by the slave family..."

"Mother!" Zhao Mengqi stood up proudly and stepped forward to support the Huang family, "Why are you so humble? Forget it, sit down, and your son will answer for you. ”

insisted on sending the Huang family back to the chair, Zhao Mengqi stood with his hands in his hands, "How is it in my mother's courtyard, you can see it casually, as for the tricks of the account book, there is no need to take it out, it can't change the facts, and it can't coax the discerning person." ”

"His Royal Highness King Chung!" Concubine Qian stared at Zhao Mengqi hatefully, and her tone was sharp, "If the Huang family's autograph can't be counted, then your accusation will be even more nonsense!" ”

King Rong frowned, "Why do you have to be so-for-tat when your family speaks?" ”

"Tuk, tuk." Mrs. Quan knocked on the tea case, "Desun, don't worry, Qian, you are also calm!" …… What Desun said is reasonable, things should be true, now it seems that there is a misunderstanding in this, maybe there is something wrong with the subordinates, Qian's you are in charge of the affairs of the house, no matter what, you are responsible, this is a family matter, and the harmony is good, the Huang family's missing degree, the full amount is made up, the family and everything is prosperous, there is no need to make trouble. ”

Zhao Mengqi's eyelids jumped, and he felt that this routine was very familiar, isn't this the hand of Zhao Guanjia and the mud, and the emotional Lao Zhao also learned from his wife.

Feeling that his sleeves were being torn, Zhao Mengqi turned his head to look, only to see his mother looking at him with pleading eyes.

Hey, this mother is really used to swallowing her anger, even if she has suffered so many grievances, she has been holding on, and now she doesn't want her son to intensify the conflict between herself and the adults in the house.

Zhao Mengqi thought for a while, "Mother-in-law, your grandson can listen to you, but the premise is that Princess Qian has to apologize to my mother and admit her mistake, so this matter will not be blamed in the past." ”

"Dreaming!" Concubine Qian jumped up, extremely ashamed and angry, "She's just a concubine, what qualifications do you have for me to apologize!" ”

In China, it has always been monogamous, a man can only have one wife, and other concubines and maids have been equal to slaves for a long time, even if the legal status of concubines has been improved at this time in the Song Dynasty, and personal rights and property rights have been protected to a certain extent, but from the root, it is more just a kind of property of the main family, even if a child is born, he can only recognize the wife as his mother.

Of course, Huaxia is a society that pays attention to ethics, especially in the Song Dynasty, if a person is not filial to his biological mother, he is not tolerated by the society, so there are many contradictions in this.

To get back to the point, now Zhao Mengqi wants Concubine Qian, the wife, to apologize to the humble Huang family, in her opinion, it is undoubtedly a great humiliation, how can this be endured.

At this time, Zhao Ying also laughed suspiciously, "What a big joke, our Zhao family actually has such a junior, and it is just that he doesn't read family ethics, and he also tries to reverse the dignity and humility of Gangchang, and let the head of the house apologize to the concubine, which is really groundbreaking!" If such a person is allowed to succeed the Zhao family's incense, I am afraid that it will not be far from breaking the family, let alone Jiangshan Sheji. ”

When Zhao Mengqi heard this, he knew that reasoning was useless, not to mention that the concepts were different, not to mention that there were many selfish motives mixed in it.

"Auntie, it sounds like you have a lot of resentment towards your nephew, do you still think I'm the stupid boy who was at your mercy before? Do you think I don't know what's going on in your heart? To be polite, I'll call you aunt, if you're in a hurry, don't forget that Taizu also said 'the side of the couch', and you missed your son's life, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Zhao Mengqi didn't bother to play with them, and said with a threat, "And Princess Qian, do you think that the matter of blocking the door will be explained by the head of a military attaché?" The people involved are all lying in the palace now, if I directly order someone to take them all, do you think you can be left alone? Can your Qian family please you? ”

Concubine Qian's hair stood on end, she didn't expect Zhao Mengqi to come without following the routine at all, he is still a prince now, and he has the capital to lift the table directly, and he was stunned by the consequences of his words for a while.

Zhao Mengqi's domineering words actually pointed directly at the Qian family, which made Qian Long stunned, and Qian Duo even gritted his silver teeth, eager to give him a knife on the spot.

"You dare!" Zhao Ying was in a cold sweat, and screamed.

Zhao Mengqi chuckled, "You may be able to go to Ying'en Gate, look at that head, and ask him if I dare." ”

King Rong has been immersed in Zhao Mengqi's previous 'Daddy', so he has been secretly on his side, and now he also feels that his words and deeds are too much, "Shiro, why is this so?" How can a family shout and kill? ”

Old Madam Quan was stunned by her grandson just now, and she forgot to speak, and now she came back to her senses, "Desun? How are you so different? … Well, let's talk about this later, let's talk about the current matter first, and the old man thinks that it is better to value peace. ”

"Mother-in-law, grandson said, you can be with it, but Princess Qian must apologize! That's my bottom line. Zhao Mengqi straightened his body, his eyes stubborn.

"This ......" the old lady looked into her grandson's eyes, felt the unshakability in them, and had to sigh, "In that case, Qian, you can apologize." ”

King Rong looked at it and decided to favor his 'son' a little, "Lady Qian, after all, you are at fault in this matter, apologize, and it is good for everyone." ”

Zhao Ying was frightened by Zhao Mengqi's murderous aura, and she didn't dare to squeak at this time, and the eyes that looked at Concubine Qian also implied that she should take a step back for a while to calm down the incident.

Qian Duo wanted to support her aunt, but was quickly grabbed by Qian Long's eyes and covered her mouth.

Huang hugged Zhao Yan tightly, his palms were sweating, he was terrified, and because of his son's maintenance, his eyes kept flowing with tears.

Zhao Yan only felt that her brother's figure was getting taller and taller, which made her feel more and more secure, if she wasn't timid, she might have already cheered for her brother.

The isolated Concubine Qian, her beautiful face is now flushed, in her heart, she wants to slam the door and walk away, but the family education engraved in her bones made her have to weigh the pros and cons, and in the end, in the face of the terrible consequences, she still chose to give in temporarily.

Poured a full cup of tea, walked in front of Huang with difficulty, and was very unwilling to make a tea ceremony, "Huang, it was my negligence and lax control, which made you wronged, I hereby make tea to you to make amends, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

There has always been only a concubine who offered tea to the mistress, when has the mistress in turn offered tea to the concubine, although this was earned by her son, but Huang was still panicked, and did not dare to take the teacup, waving his hand in a panic, "How does this make... How does this make ......"

Knowing that his mother's personality was like this, Zhao Mengqi was also helpless, so he took the tea cup for her and handed it to her, "Mother, there is nothing to be done with this, in the future, my son will definitely make you the most noble woman in the world." ”

Like a puppet, he took the tea cup from his son's hand, and then mechanically touched his lips, and Huang felt as if in a dream.

"Now you're satisfied." Concubine Qian looked at Zhao Mengqi resentfully, and then glared at the Huang family, "Hehe, you really gave birth to a good son." ”

Immediately, she couldn't suppress her shame and walked out angrily, "Duo Niang, Qian Long, let's go home!" ”

didn't have to think about it to know that she was going back to her parents' house, King Rong was stunned, and he didn't stop him.

After Concubine Qian and the Qian family's siblings disappeared, King Rong looked at his sister Zhao Ying, "Fourth sister, the matter of Guan Sun's succession is over." ”

"Good! Very good! Zhao Ying stomped his feet and ran out of the main hall.
