Chapter 47: Secretly reminded
Chao Li's voice was gentle, and Song Lingxin was originally a little unhappy in his heart, but it completely disappeared at this moment.
Of course, the unhappiness in Song Ling's heart was not because of Chao Li, but because of some things at home.
"I just arrived, and it's not because of some small troubles at home, it's really annoying." Song Lingxin pouted.
Chao Li pulled a handful of Song Lingxin, and put his index finger on his lips.
"Be quiet, the palace is not as good as the outside, and today is the fifteenth, don't say something unlucky, be careful to be heard, it will cause trouble. At last year's palace banquet, an adult of the Ministry of Rites was punished with twenty sticks for saying that he was cold to death, and he was carried out of the palace gate. ”
It's not that Chaoli is deliberately scaring Song Lingxin, but reminding her, because what she said is also the truth.
There are many taboos in the palace, Song Ling needs to be cautious when she participates in the palace banquet for the first time, and her father was arranged by the saint to go to Bian Zhou last year, so she naturally did not participate.
In previous years, it was because Aunt Cen was afraid that she would not look good, so she would provoke nobles in the palace and restrict her from participating.
If it weren't for the departure of the court this year, presumably Aunt Cen would not have agreed to Song Lingxin coming to the palace.
Now that Song Lingxin is here, of course she has to help take care of it.
Song Lingxin's face was a little ugly, but he also covered his mouth and whispered.
"It's good to have you, otherwise I won't know what taboo I have committed at that time." Song Ling saw that there was no one around, so he let go of his mouth and continued to speak, "I want to be angry with the old lady of my family...... Dizzy, you know she has always been bad to my mother. Today, when she was attending the palace banquet, and she herself was not a lady of the decree and was not qualified to come, she was displeased and pinched my mother. My mother is too, she is so capable of dealing with her aunt, but in front of the old lady, she is like a quail, and she sees me angry. If it weren't for my mother giving birth to my younger brother, I'm afraid the old lady would have let my father divorce my mother a long time ago. ”
From the standpoint of the princess of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, the matter of the Song family's house is not easy to evaluate.
But in the face of a close friend and his mother's boudoir, Chao Li is of course willing to say a few words.
Some memories of the past life can still be remembered after thinking about it.
"Ling Xin, Mrs. Song has always had a grudge against Aunt Cen, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she didn't marry Mrs. Song's niece when she sent her uncle. I heard that Mrs. Song's niece did not marry well, and her husband died three years ago, and now she lives alone with her daughter in the Song family. In my opinion, you have to pay attention, but don't give that person and Old Madam Song a chance to take advantage of, they may still have plans. ”
Song Lingxin is just simple and straightforward, but she is not a fool, and she has seen her mother's methods of dealing with her aunt for so many years.
Hearing Chao Li's words this time, Song Lingxin's face became very ugly.
"Ah Li, you mean, the old lady is still planning to let her niece marry my father? But my father has always just regarded her as a younger sister, and letting her stay in the Song family is just to fulfill her brotherly affection. Song Lingxin frowned.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Chaoli, but she thinks that Chaoli has misunderstood something, after all, the Song family has been safe and sound for so many years.
Besides, what kind of character his father is, Song Lingxin still knows.
There are only two aunts in themselves, and they are all given by the prince, and those two are relatively peaceful, perhaps because of their mother's wrists.
But the father was not a man of indulgence, and should not have thought anything else about a widow.
If this were the case, the marriage would not have been rejected in the first place.
"Ling Xin, you think too simply, now it's not just about feelings. I remember that Mrs. Song's niece's daughter is a year younger than you, but she has also reached the age of marriage. If she lives in the Song family, at most she can be regarded as a relative, and it is unlikely that she wants to marry to any good family. But if her mother becomes Uncle Song's aunt, then her status is naturally much higher than that of the little widow's daughter, and the marriage is not the same. Maybe with the help of Mrs. Song, she can still be crowned with the surname Song, and it will be too late for anything at that time. Chao Li whispered to Song Lingxin for analysis.
It's not that Chaoli wants to speculate on others with malice, but he heard the news in his previous life.
For this reason, Aunt Cen has been sick for a long time, and she is not good at visiting, so she has to send someone to send her over.
Song Lingxin's father is indeed not an indulgent person, and he really has no interest in the little widow, not to mention that he is still a person who has always regarded him as a sister.
But that woman was not a simple thing, she drugged Song's father, and finally forced him to accept him as an aunt.
If she remembers correctly, her previous life was about this time.
Song Lingxin's face changed, this time he really took Chao Li's words to heart.
"I understand, thank you Ah Li, I'll be more careful, go back and talk to my mother." Song Lingxin looked serious.
Cen Shi slowly approached, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Aunt Cen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Chaoli smiled and said hello.
Hearing this, Cen didn't care about what Song Lingxin had just asked, so he stepped forward and grabbed Chao Li's hand at this time, and looked at her carefully.
You must know that the Cen family has always liked Chaoli, because her daughter is like a leather monkey, and she is still deeply liked by everyone like Chaoli.
Now that Chao Li has been married, she hasn't seen her for a long time, and she is very much talking in her heart.
"Seeing that your face is good, I guess the prince treats you well, I am finally relieved to see it." Cen smiled and pinched Chao Li's shoulder.
Chao Li's nose was a little sour, and she had too many scruples in her previous life, and she didn't even dare to see the people who treated her sincerely.
Well, now she doesn't have to worry about that.
"Let Aunt Cen worry, I chatted casually with Ling Xin for a while just now, it's not good to talk in the palace, let's find a small corner to have a good chat, how about it?" Chaoli asked.
Of course, Cen Shi will not refuse, "Very good, let's go." ”
The three of them went to a remote corner with few people, and their maids also got together and chatted about their own days.
Not long after, close to noon, a high-pitched voice sounded.
"The concubine has arrived!"
"The lady lady has arrived!"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
When the harem concubines arrived, everyone present was forced to stop gossiping, and all of them knelt down and saluted.
The queen is also in her forties, but she is exquisitely raised in the palace, and she looks like she is only in her thirties.
"Everyone, please." The Queen's hand was raised.
"Thank you, Queen."
Several concubines sat down with the queen, the upper position and the right side were still empty, and the rest of the seats were occupied by several concubines.
Of course, from the face of it, the relationship between several mothers is very good, and they are talking and laughing when they sit down.
It is clear that he is also making a show.
