Chapter 222 Fu Wang comforts his wife, and the two concubines compete for strength
Xuanye accompanied Yichen to this Fuwang Mansion for nearly a year in a blink of an eye. At this time, she already had a more specific and intuitive impression of the second prince who was quite neglected in her impression. Although he was a prince, his temperament was extremely gentle. She used to be more gentle to the princess, that is, to marry them. The slaves and maidservants are also pleasant and have never put on the airs of the emperor. The most surprising thing is the rejection of the side concubine. Even the slaves and maidservants did not expect that their prince had such a resolute side.
But I also heard that Xuanye has never witnessed the momentum of King Fu's determination.
So when King Fu raised his voice and said that sentence, when Xuanye entered and saluted, he saw the solemn face of the prince sitting on it. Unexpectedly, he was stunned on the ground for a moment and forgot that the etiquette should stand with his eyes down.
"Let me ask you, what have the princess suffered recently?" King Fu asked in a low voice.
The voice actually seemed to have the weight of raw iron, which was pressed straight to people's hearts. Only then did Xuanye understand that no matter how gentle and chronic the prince used to be, he was the son of the emperor, and he was naturally powerful.
If you want to talk about Xuanye, she is not a little waiter in Yichen's boudoir. She was originally a maid beside the eldest princess. Although her temperament is a little straightforward, she has her own infatuation in her bones. Since she followed Yichen, there is only such a master in her heart, and everything is only planned for Yichen.
The princess's temperament is really generous. She only abides by those etiquette and women's virtues. No matter what forced and wronged she was wronged, she also gritted her teeth and endured. Xuanye had been anxious for a long time. She couldn't figure out the thoughts of those nobles in the palace, but she thought that the eldest princess would not let the princess be humiliated. She repeatedly persuaded the princess to return to the imperial palace and take the concubine The threat and difficult to tell the princess, but the princess scolded her a few words, saying that she had nothing to do, and strictly warned her not to move her lips and tongue.
As soon as Xuanye thought about this, she looked at Yichen and hesitated how to answer.
Yichen was obviously a little flustered and persuaded King Fu with a strong smile: "What does the prince have to say? Just ask my concubine."
Fuwang, who has always been kind, is extremely stubborn today. He only stared at Xuanye and asked, "Why don't you answer?"
Thinking of the princess's temperament, Xuanye was sure that she would not tell the truth and was wronged, but now the concubine Li was too guilty. Today, she not only punished her in public, but also forced such an unbelievable maidservant to add obstacles. Thinking of this, Xuanye crossed her heart, gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, and knelt down, like a bamboo tube pouring beans. "The crackling" said what happened in the past few months: "The maidservant reported to the prince. It is true that since the first month, the beautiful concubine in the palace has summoned the princess into the palace from time to time. At first, she said bluntly that the princess's sister The fifth lady of the state government is about to be married, and she should be discussed. She intended to marry the sixth highness and forced the princess to accept it. The prince is clear that the fifth lady is the princess's sister, but there is not only a high court, but also a big princess as the master. How can the princess go over it? The princess told the truth, but made Concubine Li dissatisfied... Later, she took advantage of those Gossip, scolding the princess for being virtuous is nothing more than forcing the princess to accept the affairs of the fifth mother. Today, she asked the princess to take Qiongyi as a side concubine. The princess was a little hesitant and was punished for kneeling in front of the hall.
Yi Chen was really worried when he saw that what he was hiding was revealed.
She will educate her if she is beaten by beating the wife of the Duke of a small country. Whether she is a child or a wife, the most important thing is filial piety and virtuousness. The most taboo is to stir up trouble, incite trouble, and she is not virtuous and jealous - at least the nominal "mother" of King Fu, and she is her "righteous" mother-in-law. There is nothing she can do about what she demands. That's all, let alone instigating in front of King Fu.
What's more, the prince has always been treated coldly because of his biological mother's birth. If the crime of "unfilial piety" is added to her, he will be more and more despised in the future, and it's enough for him to suffer some criticism. As long as the prince goes well, this is also his wife's duty.
It is even more impossible to take advantage of the power of his mother's family to put pressure on Concubine Li to embarrass King Fu.
At this time, Yichen was a little angry with Xuanye's delusions and pulled down her face to make her go out, thinking of persuading King Fu not to make this matter worse and worse.
Since King Fu knew what had happened, he did not leave Xuanye to ask questions. Seeing that Yichen was embarrassed, only unspeakable bitterness surged in his heart. He pulled her to sit on the kang and said first, "Because of me, I have suffered so much, but I don't know it at all..."
"There is no grievance..." Yichen just said a word and was stopped by the king of Fu again: "Let me ask you, even if you are afraid that my mother is embarrassed and is bent on tolerant, why don't you go back to the government to ask the elders for advice?"
"Concubine..." Ye Chen sighed: "It's also because of selfishness. I know the temperament of the fifth sister, and I have always been regarded as a palm pearl by my grandmother. I will not let her be wronged at all. Although the sixth brother is a prince and noble, my mother-in-law... To say something rebellious, my mother-in-law does not like the fifth sister herself, and It's just the powerful position of the government, nothing more than for the position of crown prince... I can see such an obvious thing, and my grandmother and father have been on guard for a long time. What I couldn't have done, the concubine went back to talk about, which only embarrassed the elders.
When King Fu heard this, he smiled gently: "Achen, you really understand... But you should not hide this matter from your father-in-law, let alone your grandmother. You or don't know your mother's temperament, but I know her deeply, and I am the most stubborn. Since I have this thought, I'm afraid it won't be easily dispelled. Even if you don't act, she will I will think of other ways to promote it. If you inform the government, you will also let the elders be prepared.
When Ye Chen heard this, he felt that he was worried and became more and more ashamed.
"Prepare for a moment. I'll go back to Yue's house with you these two days." King Fu stroked Yichen's cheeks, and his eyes darken: "I can't promise you anything else. I won't let you suffer from these idleness and grievances, and that Qiongyi. If she is in her role, it's nothing more than raising a person for nothing. If there is any more provocation, just attack her, and you don't need to look at anyone's face."
"But her mother..."
"I will discuss it with my father-in-law to make her afraid." Fuwang sighed gently, "I know you don't want me to embarrass... I don't want those positions of power, but I just hope to live a smooth and happy life. I have no blood relationship with Concubine Li, and she has never done her mother's affection for me. For that name, she will not neglect when she should respect it. In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with the two."
"But in the eyes of the world, the prince should be filial to his mother." Yichen is still a little worried.
"In life, I can't be selfless. If I can't even protect my wife and children, I will be a descendant of the surname Yu." Fuwang didn't care and slowly stood up, looked at the twilight outside the window, and clenched his palms behind his waist.
——
The Third Prince's Mansion at this time.
The gray twilight is far away from the red wall. The garden lacks charming fragrance, but the lonely Kezhi is dotted with silk lanterns, which shines brightly in the yard. As usual, the three princes often stay in the same time. The hall of listening to music and watching the play is even more brightly lit. The charming maidservant holding the crystal glazed bowl of fish Entering, those who hold the lute and wear a light veil have gently plucked the strings of the piano and played the sound of pearls and jade.
Confucius combed with a gorgeous high bun and peony silk flowers on her temples, and the gorgeous begonia red skirt dragged on the soft felt in the hall. The autumn waves were shining, and everything was ready. The corners of her lips were raised high, but when her eyes gently shook the green jade and red sandalwood case in front of the embroidered screen, it solidified on the cake in the glazed cup.
Squeezing the heater in her hand into the maid's arms, Concubine raised her chest and walked majestically to the front of the case. Her jade fingers came out gently, stained with cardamom nails, and went straight to one of the red bean cakes made of flowers: "Who let this..."
A maid came forward and answered cautiously and frightenedly, "It's Ningfei... Not only that, but the two honey-brewed clams and dried clams ordered by the Empress herself were also replaced by lotus room fish buns and steamed scallions."
"What a bold dog, the two main dishes I have repeatedly told you to dare to replace!" Concubine Confucius was full of pride and instantly changed to lightning and thunder, which made the maidservant's knees soft, and her whole body crawled to the ground and plead for forgiveness.
"Why do you have to embarrass your maidservant?" But there was another soft voice, which was set against the sound of the strings in the hall, as if it were singing together.
Concubine Kong turned around angrily, but saw that Concubine Ning was wearing a cloak with a jade mink collar, and her eyebrows were painted with a half-open plum, which was charming.
"I mean, isn't it for Your Highness today? Your Highness's most annoying thing is those two dishes. Ningfei pinched her orchid finger, shook the brocade silk at her fingertips, and gently covered the corners of her lips: "It's very fishy and it's hard to swallow."
Confucius was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, and countless frost knives flew out of her eyes: "How dare you use Your Highness as a cover? I don't know if you don't like it."
Concubine Ning smiled like a flower, which made the plum blossom between her eyebrows bloom more and more charming, and the slender corners of her eyes narrowed: "My sister doesn't even have the opportunity to say a few words with Your Highness, and how can I know Your Highness's preference?"
Concubine Kong was even more angry. She didn't enter the prince's mansion until August. Half a month later, the third prince was ordered to go to Southern Zhejiang. She didn't have time to have sex with her, but she lived with Concubine Ning for a few nights before making this bitch proud.
Concubine Ning appreciated Concubine Kong's angry eyes and opened her eyes, took two more steps forward, leaned to Concubine Kong's ear, and said like a blue breath, "Besides, Your Highness once said that what I don't like is that he doesn't like it."
Although this word was close to my ears, it did not suppress it. The maidservants around listened to it. Everyone did not dare to raise their eyes, but they could feel the coldness emanating from Concubine Zhou's body. Yu Guang saw Concubine Kong suddenly raise her hand and subconsciously take a step back, and there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in her ear.
Only the expected applause has not been heard for a long time.
Concubine Ning had already prepared to be slapped in the face - although both of them are side branches of the family, the family is not expensive. In comparison, Concubine Confucius is from the empress's family. The family is one head higher than the Ning family and is closer to the queen. According to this, in this prince's house, although the two live in the position of concubines, those However, Concubine Confucius has been more important. Concubine Ning has been unconvinced for a long time. Today, she intends to be proud, which is to provoke Concubine Confucius to anger. As long as this slap is slapped down, Concubine Confucius will have to be punished. Taking this opportunity, she can firmly grasp the heart of the Third Highness.
Looking at the cardamom-stained nails in front of her, Ningfei has closed her eyes on the side...
But Concubine Kong just stroked the purple soda sent by Funingfei, and also learned from the appearance of Concubine Ning just now, exhaled like Lan: "Don't be too proud too early."
When Concubine Ning opened her eyes, she saw that Concubine Kong had already retreated two steps. In the glory of the room, the anger between her eyebrows disappeared, and she only stared at her coldly.
The maidservants around hung a cold breath in their throats, and they could not swallow back to their hearts, but they saw a waiter bowing their waists and running inside and saying a sentence that made the two concubines stunned--
"The two ladies, Commander Wei, who was next to your highness, returned to the house to send a message. His Royal Highness Shen Mo has left the imperial study and went to Ci'an Palace, Kunren Palace and East Palace respectively. He only left the safe gate two quarter of time ago, but went straight to the Duke of Wei. He should not come back for dinner."
The two concubines who were still tense just now subconsciously exchanged glances and were surprised by each other--
