The emperor's imperial decree promoted Wang Ziteng to be the governor of the nine provinces, and he was ordered to inspect the military and political affairs of the nine borders. He left the capital early this morning.
Although the first house and the Wang family seem to be inseparable, it is still the home of in-laws and Yuanchun's biological uncle. Wang Ziteng's wife, Dong, brought her nephew Wang Ren and her daughter Wang Xiluan to congratulate her in person.
The Rongxi Hall was already filled with ladies and wives from various families attending the banquet. Almost all the clan members and nobles from the capital had arrived. The Rongguo Mansion, which had been silent for several years, once again became the focus of all parties.
It is impossible for Jia Mu, who has honored her all her life to say that she does not have some emotions in her heart when she looks at the palace filled with imperial decrees and pearls.
Thinking about Jia Daishan's status as the number one person in the imperial court back then, not to mention the four princes and eight princes, even the emperor's two brothers, his wife, the prince and the princess had to give her a bit of a thumbs-down.
She looked at Princess Li of the Prince Yi Zhong's palace, Princess Fan of the Prince of Beijing County, Wang Ziteng's wife Dong and other family members of the court, who were surrounded by the female family members in the hall. She couldn't help but miss the Jia family back then.
Although the Jia family is now both an uncle and a concubine, it has been silent for too long. Under the situation where the sky is hanging in the sky, no one can guarantee whether the Ning Rong Jia family involved in the matter of the former prince will be a flash in the pan.
Fawning over the Jia family, which seems to be cooking in flames, is not as safe as fawning over these hot-blooded clan princes.
After these ladies chatted for a while, the atmosphere gradually became heated.
The capital is neither big nor small, and there are not many opportunities for women to go out for gatherings on weekdays. Every family has juniors of marriageable age, and there are many opportunities to see each other when they get together, so naturally today. No exception.
For example, the girls from various families entertained by Wang Xifeng and several sisters are the focus of all ladies and gentlemen at this time.
The Jia family is not good at anything else, but when it comes to looks, they are definitely first-rate. Not to mention the one in the palace, the still young Yingchun and Tanchun have grown into beauties. Even the little Xichun is decorated with pink and jade, like a little flower fairy.
Not to mention Daiyu, Xiangyun and Baochai, who were half guests and half host, standing together with them, made the eyes of the female family members who came to congratulate brighten.
"Old lady, you are so lucky. The granddaughters below your knees are competing against each other. I am very jealous when I see them. I can't wait to grab one and take it home."
Concubine Li suddenly put aside the female relatives surrounding her and directed the conversation to the girls of the Jia family who were sitting beside her. After giving a false compliment, she said to Jia Mu: "I saw Concubine Xian when I entered the palace the day before yesterday. At that time, Cining There are all six concubines in the palace, but the Xianfei is the most eye-catching. I have to say that the granddaughter taught by the old lady is really nothing to say."
Ding!
As Concubine Li's words reached Daiyu's ears, her heart immediately skipped a beat, and the worry in her eyes flashed away. When she looked up, she saw Wang Xifeng, who was chatting and laughing quietly with them, curling her lips.
"The princess is joking!"
Everyone turned their attention to the junior in surprise, and saw Wang Xifeng wearing a red coat embroidered with phoenixes, the golden phoenix on her head swaying slightly, and her frown and smile were just right.
Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and smiled: "Which of the empresses in the palace is not elegant and dignified? Although my empress has been granted the title of virtuous concubine by the Holy Grace, she is still younger than the other empresses. Even the old lady can't praise the concubine so much. I dare not respond. The ladies in the palace each have their own merits, so they have received the grace of the saint and His Majesty. My wife is just one of them. The Jia family cannot bear the ridiculous praise of the concubine."
….
After saying this, she stood up and gave a blessing gift to the concubines' natal family members who came to congratulate her. She said with a sincere face: "I'm crude, ladies, please forgive me. Don't make fun of me because I don't read much and can't speak. "
The way the Wang family teaches their daughters is unknown to many noble families in Beijing. Wang Xifeng's straightforward way of exposing her own ugliness made a great impression on these ladies, and they all nodded and smiled.
The old lady was already flattered by Concubine Li, and the pride on her face was clearly visible.
As Wang Xifeng joked and said these reminders, he woke up and looked at the several noble women sitting on the left and right, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Hao Xuan almost offended all the nobles in Beijing, let alone if she responded today
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, Yuan Chun might have enemies everywhere in the palace.
He didn't mention the annoyance in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Mrs. Li with a cold look. A smile appeared on his face, trying to put this matter away.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Mrs. Li turned her attention to Daiyu. With a smile in her eyes, she seemed to ask casually: "I wonder which granddaughter of the old lady this little girl is?"
Mother Jia was slightly stunned, unable to guess what Mrs. Li was thinking.
"Yu'er, why don't you come forward and pay your respects to the concubine?"
Upon hearing this, Daiyu stepped forward and bowed down: "Daughter Lin pays her respects to the Dowager Empress."
"Is your surname Lin?"
Concubine Li seemed to realize something. She raised her brows and turned to the old lady and said, "So this is the old lady's granddaughter. She looks so much like her mother. She is such a beauty. No wonder the old lady plans to make the two jade girls into one." Yes. What a pity..."
Without waiting for the old lady to respond, Daiyu, who had originally knelt down to salute, straightened her back and said solemnly: "I would like to ask the concubine to be careful. My father and uncle have already signed a marriage contract for me and Brother Cong, and there is also the Queen Mother." The Queen has given me a wedding decree, and although the Queen is of noble status, she must not tarnish my reputation and the reputation of the Jia Lin family with some rumors."
"You child, when your mother was here in the past, the old lady sent letters to Jiangnan many times, hoping to get you engaged with the brother who was born with jade in mind. Many people know about this, how can it be said to be a rumor? "
Concubine Li became obviously unhappy when Daiyu refuted her words on the spot. Her words were clear and conclusive, and she said to the old lady with a cold face: "Old madam, back then I wanted to tell your brother that I wanted to marry the girl from the Wu family of Commander Jinzhou. This is what the old lady told me. , I must have remembered it correctly!"
The old lady murmured in response: "I was discussing with my son-in-law at that time, and it hasn't been decided yet..."
"Have you ever heard of a word that your concubine has said? When my parents ordered a matchmaker, everything was still undecided. There was no marriage certificate, and there was no matchmaker. How can I use it to insult my reputation?"
Daiyu's seemingly thin body is like a green bamboo in a mountain stream, which would rather break than bend. Wu Yin's soft voice clearly refuted Concubine Li's inappropriate remarks, and even asked at the end: "But I wonder what the Queen Mother would think if she heard these words of Concubine Li? "The Book of Rites" is a good book Book, Princess Dowager, you might as well read it in your spare time!"
At the end of her words, Daiyu remembered what the little fat man had said to her: "I have everything under my control, and I will never let you be wronged again!"
….
Concubine Li insulted her again and again, and constantly used rumors to attack the reputations of the Jia and Lin families, and she was not going to tolerate it anymore.
As Daiyu's words fell, the originally bustling Rongxi Hall became silent. God, this daughter of the Lin family is so powerful, she dares to confront the prince and concubine!
A nun standing behind Concubine Li scolded her sternly: "How impudent! How dare you, a little servant girl, be rude to Concubine Li? It is true that the Gusu Lin family is so well-educated, and the Rongguo Mansion is so well-educated!"
Concubine Li also snorted coldly, picked up the tea cup at hand with an expressionless face, and slowly sipped the tea.
Mother Jia glanced at Daiyu dissatisfied, and then said apologetically to Concubine Li: "It's all my teachings. This granddaughter has a straight temper. Please forgive me... Yu'er, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to Concubine Li?" !」
"I am not wrong, how can I admit it?"
Daiyu raised her little face proudly, stood up straight and said leisurely: "The Lin family of Gusu, the fifth generation of princes. The Ningrong Jia family, the first of the eight founding princes. My father is the legitimate son of the Lin family, Yijia Tanhualang, and my mother is the legitimate son of the Rongguo family. Girl, the Queen Mother praised her for her excellent appearance. How about the Lin family and the Jia family? When will it be your turn as a slave woman to say something?"
She put aside Mrs. Li and directed her firepower at the nanny who had just scolded her: "You'd better think clearly before speaking. My father is a third-rank official in the imperial court, and my uncle is Rong Enbo, who was conferred by the saint. How about the Lin family? What about the Jia family? ? I wonder if you, a naughty slave, dare to say what you just said again?"
The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall was becoming more and more filled with the smell of gunpowder. Even though Daiyu was just a skinny little girl, she couldn't stand the tall person standing behind her.
Not to mention his father Lin Ruhai who was far away in Jiangnan, just the one who was lying in Dongkua Hospital recovering from his injuries.
, enough for people in the capital to stay away.
Concubine Wu of Beijing Palace almost regretted it to death. Why did her son Shui Rong comply with the words of Prince Yi Zhong Liu Ye and come to Rongguo Palace today with this crazy woman Li?
Sure enough, she was born as a maid, so she can't get on the stage!
She was about to change her sentence when she saw Mrs. The empress is here to cause trouble for my family today. I am not as high-status as the empress dowager. You might as well let my master discuss this matter with His Royal Highness Prince Yi Zhong. No matter what happens, that brother of concubine is also a restless man. Man, let Brother Cong pay a visit to Prince Yizhong’s Mansion another day and listen to the prince’s words!”
Mrs.
But it has been different in the past few years. Although Jia Cong is not close to her, he has never lacked the respect and filial piety he deserves. He will give her good things as soon as possible. In the past few years, he has only given them to her. There is also a lot of silver.
Moreover, Master Pardon called her over last night and told her that she must take good care of the girls at home so as not to disgrace the Rongguo Mansion.
Mother Jia has too many scruples in her heart, but Mrs. Xing is different. She, a paper-thin uncle, didn't even bother to leave the house, and she, Mrs. Li, had no control over the inner courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion. Why didn't she dare to offend her?
….
Besides, people all over the capital are asking, apart from the two supreme beings in the palace, who has my master been afraid of?
After provoking Lin Yatou, do you believe that Brother Cong dares to go to Prince Yi Zhong's palace wearing the imperial gift?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs.
She stood up and came to Daiyu, hugged her in her arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Girl Lin, I will take you to find your uncle and Brother Cong. How can you be bullied and wronged by others at home?" The truth!"
Daiyu felt warm in her heart and said with a little choked up: "Auntie, I am not wronged..."
What Daiyu had been looking forward to most just now was that her grandmother would come out to defend her, even just with a word. But she didn't expect that it was the old lady who asked her to apologize. Instead, it was the aunt she had always ignored who stood up to Concubine Li to defend herself.
Concubine Li's face became even worse. Your Jia family has received favors from my family, so Jia Yuanchun was happy to be crowned concubine, but she didn't even feel the slightest bit grateful.
My son's people and property in Jiangnan were ruined by Lin Ruhai. I just took it out on Lin's daughter, but I was taught a lesson by such a stupid woman...
"Mrs. Rongguo, Rongguo Mansion is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Your wife is so majestic!"
Jia Mu did not dare to offend Concubine Li, let alone Prince Yi Zhong's palace.
The bloody night of the forty-ninth year of Zhaowu and the silence of the Jia family for several years had frightened her and broken her spine.
The old lady yelled angrily: "My lord, what are you making a fuss about? Hurry up and apologize to the concubine!"
"My mother didn't say anything wrong? Why should I apologize?"
The door curtain was lifted, and the cold winter wind blew in along the crack of the door, causing everyone in the room to shrink their necks.
Jia Cong stepped across the threshold and walked in. He bowed to Jia Mu and several elders, and then stood up next to Mrs. Xing.
"Ouch!"
The little dumpling who followed Jia Cong fell to the ground. Wang Xifeng quickly picked him up and softly comforted Xichun who was about to shed tears...
Jia Cong explained to Daiyu in a low voice: "Sister Xi secretly ran to the front yard to find me, saying that someone was bullying you. I hurriedly hurried and slowly caught up, and finally caught up. Don't worry, I have everything!"
Then he grinned at Mrs.
Mrs.
Fortunately, the little fat man who has always been "lawless" is here. Look at the fat orange cat tattooed on his chest, squinting his eyes and covering his hands. Is he mocking Mrs. Li Taifei and others who look down on her, Mrs. Ron Enbo?
When the old lady saw Jia Cong coming in, her acupuncture points on her temples started to feel a dull pain. It was easy to talk to her eldest son, but the little devil star wore too many royal gifts, and she had to worry about the opinions of the two saints in the palace.
Dai Quan had warned him that day, and the old lady had to be timid when facing this devil star grandson.
Just when the old lady didn't know what to do, Jia Cong had already faced Concubine Li.
Jia Cong raised his hands perfunctorily and said: "Mother Dowager, one day I will go to the palace and talk to the Queen Mother about the upbringing of my sister Lin. After all, the two female officials given by the Queen Mother are the two female officials who are responsible for teaching Sister Lin now. However, Before that, there’s something I’d better deal with today, otherwise my thoughts won’t be clear and I won’t be able to sleep well!”
Without waiting for Concubine Li's reaction, Jia Cong looked coldly at the nanny standing behind Concubine Li, and shouted sternly: "Old witch, you dare to bully Sister Lin in Rongguo Mansion, do you really think that everyone in the Jia family can't do it?"
