Chapter 52: No Regrets
Wan Qiuyu's unpremeditated cooperation with Xiao Minghuan today is a very tacit understanding.
Although there are not many guests who see this scene, everyone has a mouth, and the wedding banquet is not over, and most of the guests know that Wang Minghui fanned the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion into the lake, and it was Wang Minghui's future husband Duan Wang who rescued the people.
And Xiao Minghuan said that Wang Minghui "slapped people at every turn and pushed people into the water" also spread.
Wang Minghui didn't have the face to continue to stay in the palace, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly took her back to the palace.
As for the other party, Wan Qiuyu, he returned to the mansion with Shen Qing.
Wan Qiuyu in the carriage knew what she would face when she returned home, but she didn't regret it at all.
If she doesn't start in advance, she will have to listen to the arrangement of the government and marry to another place.
What do you think in your heart, but her face shows a look of anxiety and self-blame.
Shen Qing's face was naturally not good-looking, she would not be naΓ―ve to think that Wan Qiuyu's falling into the water was an accident.
To put it mildly, nine out of ten cases of people who fell overboard at a banquet were due to various calculations.
Wan Jinlan looked at Wan Qiuyu, who was hanging his head and red eyes on the other side, and suddenly said, "Second sister, that day in the house, a maid saw you take King Duan to the courtyard. β
Wan Jinlan felt that she was not qualified to criticize Wan Qiuyu's behavior today.
It was herself, in order to find a suitable Lang Jun, who had also done something out of the ordinary in Yangzhou. Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, so she dares to indulge a little.
As for Wan Qiuyu, she took a fancy to Xiao Minghuan and wanted to fight for herself, which is understandable, it was all for her own future. The most important thing is that she has not affected the reputation of the public government today.
She was a little skeptical, was this matter discussed by the two of them?
At this time, Wan Jinlan exposed her, just to tell her that someone saw your behavior, so put away the suit on your face, and don't want her mother to bear the anger of her grandmother when she returns home.
Wan Jinlan was also selfish and exposed her, because she always felt that this second sister was weird.
Shen Qing and Wan Qiuyu were stunned at the same time.
Shen Qing's expression was fierce, and she looked at Wan Qiuyu, what else did she not understand.
Wan Qiuyu's heartbeat accelerated for a moment, and then calmed down.
She told herself that there was no need to be nervous, anyway, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and she was settled in the Duanwang Mansion.
"Second sister, the family that your grandmother and mother showed you, although they are outside of Kyoto, you will definitely be the main room in the future."
The apprehension and remorse on Wan Qiuyu's face disappeared, but his head was still hanging and he didn't speak.
Shen Qing asked, "Do you know the difference between a concubine's room and a wife's room?" Do you know the difference between a concubine and a concubine? β
Shen Qing felt that she had lost her eyes, these days in the house, Mama said that Wan Qiuyu behaved well, learned the rules and everything very carefully, in front of the old lady and her, it was also considered to be knowledgeable and interesting, she still thought she was a smart person, but she didn't expect that people had their own thoughts, and they went to the side room of the palace.
"Do you know that the children of the concubine can't even call their own mother?"
Wan Qiuyu lowered his head and did not speak.
She was complicated in her heart, and she could still tell clearly whether Shen Qing was kind or pretending at this time. If she changes to a mean housewife, it is possible to blame her for losing people to the government at this time.
"Thank you mother for your kindness, I don't regret it."
After a long silence, she said in a firm tone.
That's all so, what else does Shen Qing have to say.
After returning to the mansion, Wan Qiuyu was punished and grounded.
If Wan Qiuyu was really slapped into the water by Wang Minghui, the old lady would not treat her like this, after all, she was a victim.
But Wan Qiuyu is not a victim, she has her own calculations, she is dissatisfied with the arrangement of the government for her, she wants to earn her own future, she rushes to be Xiao Minghuan's concubine, and she makes the relationship between the government and Xiao Minghuan closer.
The gilded three-legged incense burner in the Jinchun Hall burned soothing incense, and Wan Jinlan was kneading her grandmother's shoulders and neck.
Seeing that her grandmother was not in a high mood, she was relieved: "Grandmother doesn't have to worry, King Duan and his aunt are the mother and son in name, and the relationship between the princess and King Duan is not inferior to the second sister." β
What she said is true, no matter what happens inside, between Xiao Minghuan and the public mansion, because of Wan Guifei, it is considered to be a camp.
The old lady sighed: "Okay, she wants to be a concubine in a hurry, if I don't do it, I will still be a wicked person in her heart." β
Even though Wan Guifei is the first person under the queen in the palace, and the emperor's concubine is different from ordinary concubines, it still can't change the fact that the concubine is also a concubine.
In an edict that year, her daughter became the side concubine of the palace, and the old lady has always been haunted in her heart. In the chaos in the imperial city back then, she never wanted to marry her daughter into the royal family, and the royal family at that time did not have some stable families.
For the granddaughters of the public mansion, whether they are concubines or concubines, she never thought about which mansion she would send them to as concubines. The granddaughter of the concubine, with the family of the public mansion, it is completely okay to find a person who is not very high to be the wife.
It's just now.
Anyway, it hasn't been long since she returned home, she can do whatever she wants, and the mansion won't be so close to her in the future.
After the old lady figured it out, her expression also relaxed.
She can actually force Wan Qiuyu to marry outside of Kyoto, but she estimates that King Duan will not give up.
At the beginning, it was not possible to calculate the concubine of the long house, and it was also a good thing to accept a concubine as a side concubine.
The old lady guessed correctly, Xiao Minghuan really thought so.
The next day, he entered the palace to greet the concubine, and the concubine heard Anyang tell him what happened in the Guangling palace yesterday, and this time she saw him happily.
When people came in, as expected, they came to ask the second lady of the public mansion to be her side concubine.
"Miss Wang doesn't know how to measure, and Erchen was also eager to save people yesterday, ignoring the reputation of Miss Waner, even so, Erchen is willing to accept Miss Waner as a side concubine, and I hope that the mother concubine will be approved."
Although the side concubine is also going to be on the royal jade butterfly, Wan Guifei, as the mother concubine of the nominal king, still has the right to decide the candidate for the side concubine.
Wan Guifei didn't agree at the first time, and thought about asking for the opinion of the public government.
Looking at the young man standing respectfully below, Wan Guifei knew that Xiao Minghuan had to tie the Zhenguo Mansion to his warship.
She doesn't know what the future situation will be, but putting a person from the Duanwang Mansion in the backyard of the Duanwang Mansion is not a bad thing at this stage, and besides, it is just a concubine.
After the old lady handed the words into the palace, the concubine asked the queen, and the queen gave the order very happily this time.
In the queen's view, her maiden niece is the princess of Duan, and the concubine's maid is the side concubine and the concubine.
Why not?
