On the second day, I will go to the Zhuangzi of the Second Prince's Mansion for a banquet. Huai'an Houfu was busy up and down.

The Yang family didn't think anything about it, but the aunts in the back house, except for the noble aunt, were all excited.

In the past, no matter how grand the occasion, no matter how many people went, even the guards, small maids, and maids might have the opportunity to come and go, because the ladies and ladies of each family must be indispensable to serve them.

However, these aunts basically have nothing to do with it, and this time, Meilin brought them such an opportunity to go out, and get closest to the royal family, and witness the royal grandeur with their own eyes, which is really exciting from the heart, and is extremely grateful to Meilin.

Meilin's praise and flattery of these people can be said to be uneventful, so it has become the basis for Meilin's "caring for her mother's family".

These are not what Meilin wants, these people in front of her are kowtowing every day, praising her every day, praising her as a flower, and there is no way to help Meilin get out of her current predicament.

Mei Lin attributed the root of all misfortune to Ji Yun and Ji Chen, so after Hou Nan found her, she agreed without hesitation.

Mei Lin felt that she had made two preparations, if Yu Jue could succeed, then Ji Jun would not be able to enter the Three Princes' Mansion, so she would continue to be her merchant girl.

At the same time, Yu Ming will push everything on Ji Jun's body, so that the second prince will not include a woman who framed his brother in the back house for the sake of fame!

If Yu Jue doesn't succeed, Ji Jun will enter the Three Princes' Mansion according to Hou Nan's arrangement, no matter what the situation of the Three Princes' back house is, in short, Ji Jun will never be able to enter the Second Prince's Mansion again!

No matter what, Mei Lin felt that she could cut off the second prince's thoughts!

Mei Lin was in a daze in the back garden of the Second Prince's Mansion, when she heard the footsteps of several people, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Concubine Zou and Concubine Guan beside her.

Compared with Concubine Zou and Concubine He, the two can be said to be equal.

But Concubine Guan Shu, who was next to Concubine Zou, was obviously a little better looking.

Concubine Guan Shu is Guan Baosheng's niece, that is, Guan Jingqiu's cousin. Her facial features are bright and moving, and her makeup is meticulous, and her service is gorgeous.

Mei Lin has been guided by the grandmother in the palace and is very confident in her own behavior, but in front of Concubine Guan, seeing her steady and self-controlled actions and reserved expression, a sense of crisis arose for no reason, and then a sense of frustration.

This Guan concubine's appearance is far above herself, and among her sisters, the only one who can fight with her in the ring is Yuyan!

Mei Lin thought that she had once passed the test among a kind of noble girls and made it to the top five, and almost became a "princess". Moreover, seeing those young ladies who participated in the election, few of them are better than Yuyan, they are sisters with Yuyan, and they are not much worse!

For a while, I had a very blind confidence in my appearance.

Now seeing Concubine Guan Shu, Meilin was deeply shocked.

No wonder, Daddy wants Yuyan to enter the Second Prince's Mansion too!

Now, however, it's too late to regret it!

She felt in a trance that she had neglected something, and when she thought about it, she couldn't remember it.

In fact, because Mei Lin is a concubine, she has been trapped in the back house of the Hou Mansion of Huai'an, and she doesn't know much about the outside and has limited knowledge.

She didn't know that when the "princess" was selected at that time, many housewives deliberately found various reasons to detain the beautiful concubines in the mansion in order for their daughters to be selected.

Therefore, what Mei Lin saw at that time was not all the talented and beautiful nobles in the capital, but only the girls who each family most wanted to participate in the election and be selected.

Mei Lin saluted Concubine Zou and saluted each other with Concubine Guan Shu.

Merlin smiled,

"The two sisters are so free, and they also come to visit the garden?"

Although Concubine Zou was smiling, her tone was not good,

"I heard that His Royal Highness invited the ladies of your whole house, and even your aunt was invited, your face is really big!"

Mei Lin heard that Concubine Zou was unhappy, and she was confused and dissatisfied, but she could only return it softly.

"Maybe His Royal Highness pities the concubine who has just gotten married and misses her relatives, so he invites them together."

Concubine Guan Shu said coolly,

"Sister Meilin, but is she pressing us under His Royal Highness? It doesn't matter if you have mercy, do you know how much more silver our concubine will take for a banquet? Dare not to spend your Huai'an Houfu's money! Naturally, you don't feel distressed! ”

Mei Lin remembered that before, the second prince sent a dowry gift to Huai'an Houfu, a total of eighteen, and it was relatively genuine. made Hong Peiju smile so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Later, I heard that it was prepared by Concubine Zou, and that should be the money paid by Concubine Zou!

If Concubine Zou wasn't there, Mei Lin would definitely go back, but now she can only endure it.

Mei Lin lowered her head and said softly,

"Your Highness said that my sisters don't often go out for socializing, and they are worried that their mother will not be able to take care of them, so they ask the aunts in the house to help take care of them. His Royal Highness gave Huai'an Houfu and my biological aunt dignity, and it was also the grace of the side concubine, Meilin will serve His Royal Highness and Niangniang wholeheartedly in the future, and repay His Royal Highness and Niangniang's kindness. ”

Concubine Zou snorted coldly and said,

"I don't dare to hope for anything that I don't repay. However, my Zou family doesn't take this idea of money seriously. However, you can take a good look at your mother's family, don't try to climb the high branches and do some shameless things, if I find out, I will never show mercy, including you! ”

Concubine Zou was so angry in her heart, in order to marry into the prince's mansion, she took out almost one-fifth of her family property!

I thought it was over, and after I got married, as long as I lived in daily life, I didn't need to spend too much.

Who knows, the money that the second prince needs is like a bottomless pit.

What especially makes Concubine Zou unbearable is that if the second prince wants to take a concubine, she has to pay for it!

The second prince said to her,

"Mei Lin is the daughter of Huai'an Hou, the daughter of the Hou Mansion, different from your merchant background, and she was once selected as the princess, and her worth is naturally incomparable to that of a small family! If Mei Lin scribbles into the mansion, the royal face will be dull! ”

The sentence "Hou's daughter" choked Concubine Zou, and she wanted to say, "Concubine He is also a merchant girl, or a concubine, why don't you ask the He family for money?" ”

However, Concubine Zou didn't dare to carry it with the second prince, for fear that the second prince would say something that would embarrass her even more, and their apparent harmony would not be maintained!

I have a breath in my heart, and I have to find a place to vent!

Concubine Guan said again,

"Sister Meilin, Niangniang bothered about your affairs, and you didn't pour a cup of tea for Niangniang to thank you!"

Mei Lin endured the resentment in her heart, got up and hurriedly got up, took the freshly poured tea from the little maid and handed it to Concubine Zou.

"Niangniang, please use tea, Meilin Xie Niangniang is generous and kind!"

Mei Lin bent her knees and held the teacup, but Concubine Zou did not move, she didn't answer it, and there was no outlet for people to pick it up.

Mei Lin could only hold it like this, and after a while, her legs began to tremble, and her arms began to sore!

This is Concubine Zou rectifying her!

Concubine Guan Shu's sarcastic voice sounded again,

"Sister Meilin, I heard that among the young ladies of the entire Huai'an Hou Mansion, you are the smartest one! If you are wise, don't do stupid things! You must put yourself in a good position, although you are from the Hou Mansion, but what can you help Your Highness? Do you have the money to buy a piece of grass and trees, a table and a chair in the prince's mansion, or do you have the ability to persuade the ministers to help His Highness solve problems? If there is nothing, you have to be honest and keep to yourself! Don't think about crooked ways to seduce Your Highness! ”

Mei Lin is a little confused this time, she wants to seduce, but she can't see the second prince, what else to seduce?

Mei Lin straightened up, although she was still holding the tea cup, but she retracted her arm slightly, so she was not so uncomfortable, she looked at Concubine Guan Shu,

"What do you mean by this? Since I entered the mansion, I have only seen His Royal Highness, and my sister wants to add no excuse to the crime, I really can't agree! ”

"Smack"!

Concubine Zou stretched out her hand and patted the tea cup in Mei Lin's hand, and said coldly,

"Don't think that if you get Ji Yun into the mansion, you will be able to win the heart of His Highness! I really looked away, you just entered the house, and you started to think! You wait for me! ”

Let's take Concubine Guan and leave!

After taking two steps, Concubine Guan suddenly turned around and said with a smile,

"You still want to pull people to be petted, and you don't want to see who you are? You are just a pawn in the transaction between Huai'an Hou and His Highness, and you are also worthy! Bite off more than one can chew! ”

Merlin froze in place!

After a long time, Mei Lin came to her senses, who is going to marry Ji Jun to the second prince!

Are you sick! And he's not lightly ill!
