Chapter 698 The Queen's Strong Enemy, quite a show
One day after Laba, it happened to be the birthday of Mrs. Liu of Dong'an Hutong's waiter's mansion. Because it was not the whole life, the Liu family did not set up a feast for several days. They just invited relatives and friends to celebrate the feast on the first day of the first day, but there were many visitors. It was only early in the morning, that the carriages and horses were full of the door, and a long row of big red lanterns in the servant's mansion. The words are clear, the tassels rotate and fly, the sound of firecrackers in the alley, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke eased a little winter cold, making a long alley full of noise.
The Liu family was also a member of the Eastern Ming family. They have published three or five six books. Even if they are not as prominent as Chen and Qin at present, they can still be regarded as the middle-class eunuchs in Jinyangjing.
Even so, when Princess Chu's car turned in, it also caused a stir - the master of Liu's family is only a household servant at present. How did he disturb the princess to celebrate her birthday?
It was not until the female relatives watched the princess and the third young lady in the long room go far hand in hand and affectionately, did they suddenly realize that the third young lady was an old friend of the princess's boudoir. It should be for such a relationship that the princess came to make up.
The third young lady is Peng Lan. The girl who was teased by her friends for "only loves beauty" still got married.
However, few people knew that Peng Lan's marriage was in a hurry. In fact, after the death of the country at that time, Qin Xiang saw that the queen's ability was weak in the harem and was weak, intending to let the daughters of several close relatives to choose the harem to assist the queen. Peng Xiang, as Qin's confidant, was second to none.
Although Peng Xiang is a descendant of Qin Xiang, his personality is very clear, and he knows what kind of temperament the queen is. Although Qin Xiang wants to help the queen, the queen may not appreciate it. The danger of sending a good daughter to the harem may be difficult. Peng Xiang had to find an excuse to refuse, lying that before the former emperor collapsed, he had already My daughter's marriage proposal, although it is delayed due to national mourning, it is not easy to betray.
Qin Xiang was quite dissatisfied, especially when he saw that Peng Xiang's chosen in-law was actually the Liu family who had a good relationship with Chen Xiang's family. At present, the relationship between Qin and Peng has been estranged, and Peng Xiang has been excluded from the supervision institute.
In fact, Peng Lan's grandmother and Mrs. Liu also have handkerchiefs, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen are old for many years.
Therefore, when she learned that the princess of Chu came to the door, the old birthday star who was gossiping with Mrs. Chen was a little worried - although the internal contradictions of the Chen family were not well known to others, Mrs. Liu, who was an acquaintance, knew a little, and it was not a secret that the princess's mother's sister had to marry the "prodigal" of the Chen family because of the Ci'an Palace. Many people think that the Duke of Wei is helpless because of the decree, which is also obvious. Chen Liulang makes such a ridiculous thing, and how can he be worthy of the direct daughter of the Duke's mansion? Mrs. Liu is really worried that Princess Chu's bad intentions.
Even Mrs. Chen is a little embarrassed. As the old lady of the prime minister, she personally participated in the calculation and instigation, and it is inevitable that she is a little guilty.
She is not the biological mother of Chen Counselor and the Empress Dowager. She wants to be closer to Chen Counselor, but who let the family have an empress dowager? Naturally, she should put the interests of this daughter and the grandson of heaven. Therefore, Mrs. Chen resolutely stood in the empress dowager's camp and obeyed, but was relatively estranged from Chen Counselor.
She doesn't care about Liulang's marriage at all, and doesn't care whether the long house and the Duke of Wei will be friends or enemies in the future. However, at this time, she met Princess Chu on a narrow road in another family. After all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Although she has two generations, if Princess Chu embarrass her, she has to suffer.
The Empress Dowager alone, Chen Sanniang's backer is not strong enough to win or lose from the queen.
But since this woman is an insider, it should be understood that what she needs to gain a foothold in the harem is by no means an enemy but an ally. The more the queen and the Qin family are, the more Chen Sanniang will cherish all help and is unlikely to resist the initiative to make friends with the beautiful scenery.
After the banquet, she usually gathered in a place to enjoy the play. Because of her different identities, the stubborn Mrs. Liu insisted on staying with the chairman, which gave her the opportunity to gossip more with Mrs. Chen, but of course, she could grasp the heat and did not intend to "get in love" with the Chen family's family through a social relationship, except for the sixth lady. In the future, Mrs. Chen will be a little closer to her mother-in-law, and she will treat the rest with standard social etiquette.
On the contrary, this gradually made Mrs. Chen feel comfortable. She said that this princess of Chu was young and noble, but it was not difficult to get to get with her. She had a little demeanor of a famous family. She was still a noble background, and she was much stronger than the queen, an authentic famous lady.
Thinking of the queen, Mrs. Chen couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth and saw her third granddaughter's upright sitting posture. She was elegant and gentle, and showed a satisfied smile. For a moment, she thought that her own granddaughters had lost the empress dowager's eyes, and she was a little unwilling. She happened to hear the princess talking and laughing with her eldest daughter-in-law. Mrs. Chen thought again Su's Liu Niang, who is also said to be a generous talented woman, felt that she had cheaper than the long house. Unexpectedly, the Duke of Wei not only did not resent the long house, but also had a mutual good momentum - today's attitude of Princess Chu is enough to explain.
The old lady sat there, and her mood became more complicated and restless. Not to mention that the words she sang on the table were not heard. Later, even Mrs. Liu talked to her and didn't respond.
