Chapter 6: Should she take action or not?
According to the etiquette, on the day after the wedding, the prince must go with Fujin to visit the queen mother, emperor, empress, etc. in the palace, which is called "courteous ceremony".
When Lu Pheasant woke up, Yinzhen was already standing aside, with Su Peisheng taking care of his python suit.
The young beloved turned his face sideways and said calmly: "Are you awake?"
She married again.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw such a beautiful and handsome face, shining brightly.
I have to admit that Lu Pheasant felt a little bit of the happiness that Empress Wu mentioned.
Lu Fei also stood up, blessed her body, and then Nanny Er put on layers of thick and dignified auspicious clothes for her.
The couple only had a bite of snacks and then headed to Cining Palace, which was closest to the elder brother's residence.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are all here, saving the effort of two or three trips.
The old man said a few words as usual, and seeing that Brother Si and his wife were well-behaved people, he asked them to leave.
Kangxi's three queens all died young, and no queens were established since then. Currently, there is no middle palace in the harem.
After leaving Cining Palace, the couple went to Yonghe Palace in the northeast corner of the palace to pay homage to the prince's biological mother, Concubine De.
The court meeting was just a formality. Lu Zhi carried it as usual, making no mistakes in every move. He almost didn't even raise his face during the whole process. He just lowered his head and knelt down to salute and say yes.
While thinking to herself, how could these big men kneel down so much? She had never seen so many backs of heads in high positions before.
In Yonghe Palace, due to the ice-like relationship between Concubine De and Yinzhen mother and son, they did not stay long.
After hearing that Empress De Fei asked Yinzhen to help more and keep an eye on Xiao Shisi's homework in the future, he quickly returned to his elder brother's place to replenish his breakfast.
Lu Pheasant recognized the Kunning Palace, the Sixth East and West Palaces, and the Cining Palace in the Forbidden City. She thought that these would be the places where she would live in the future, so it was just a step in advance.
Anyone who has visited the Forbidden City in later generations will know that the Imperial City is just a grand place to look at. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the fire hazard is very high. In fact, it is not very livable. It is more relaxed and comfortable to escape the summer in the royal garden. .
None of this is urgent.
With Yinzhen's handsome face beside him, Lu Pheasant didn't care much about other things, nor could he compare or dislike them.
After Yinzhen finished his meal, he went to the study without taking a break.
Lu Zhi changed out of his auspicious clothes and began to observe the small courtyard of his elder brother's house.
With the status of a noble adoptive mother and a biological mother who rose to the top very quickly, and being ranked high among the princes, the accommodation given to Yinzhen was not bad.
However, the elder brother's house itself is located in a remote location in the Forty-Nine City, the layout is cramped, and there are quite a few princes living there, so the overall situation still seems cramped.
The small courtyard has three entrances. The front courtyard is where Yinzhen lives. In the backyard, she has a main room with two side rooms. The main room is divided into bedrooms, a conservatory, a main hall and a small study. It is small but relatively complete.
Further behind are several gege rooms, and the conditions are even worse.
Just as he was thinking about it, Grandma Er said, "Fu Jin, the princesses have all arrived early and are here to pay their respects to you."
"Invite them in."
Lu Pheasant inherited the memory of his original body and already knew that there was someone in Yinzhen's backyard, and he wanted to see him whenever he needed to.
Pin'er led three girls in different clothes into the main hall. The leader was Li, who was dressed in begonia red and had a slim figure. She was currently the most favored.
In the center is the Liu family in a light blue palace dress, and the Wu family in the elegant moonlight dress is behind the palace.
Mrs. Song is eight months pregnant and cannot move around easily, so she does not need to pay her respects today.
According to the original definition of them, the Li family is arrogant and domineering, the Liu family is sweet-talking, and the Wu family is introverted and quiet, which is considered to be in line with the personality shown by their faces.
"My concubines are Li/Liu/Wu, please pay your respects to Fujin, and may I wish you peace and prosperity." The concubines of the three colors stood in a row, saluted, and served tea one by one.
Lu Pheasant took a sip and said, "Get up and sit down."
We met for the first time today. After everyone sat down, they couldn't figure out the mistress's temper. No one spoke first for a while.
I saw Uranala, the direct descendant of Fujin, who was sitting here, wearing a coral-red Sichuan embroidered peony flag uniform, which complemented her ice-cold skin and stunning complexion. She wore a pearl flower headpiece, which was both splendid and youthful and delicate. , although her cheeks are still a little childish, it cannot be denied that the new little Fujin is a beauty with exquisite features.
After Mrs. Li looked at Fujin, she realized that the fourth master had married such a little girl. Her face was not bad, but her small body was not good enough compared to her own unevenness.
Now that she is newly married, after the limelight, the fourth master will definitely come back to his house. She has to be pampered early and prosperously, so she is confident.
Most of the people who came into the brother's room were picked by his own family. The three people in Yinzhen's backyard were tasted by Lu Pheasant and could only be said to be average.
Li's figure is indeed very good, but her temperament is not good. Of course, if you touch her with the lights off, most men will like her.
The Liu family and the Wu family can only be classified as delicate and elegant. Yinzhen himself is a simple and elegant person, so he inevitably feels that they are too bland and tasteless.
Combined with the current faces of the three people... Lu Pheasant had an idea.
It was just a new arrival, and his appearance was just for reference. Lu Fei spoke first: "I came later than some sisters. From now on, I will serve the fourth master with one heart and one mind, so as to save him from worries. This is a little greeting. Aunty, Song Gege I sent her there separately, she is pregnant now, so it is different."
Grandma Er took out the prepared gifts, each of which was a plain handkerchief and a flower hairpin. Li received a hibiscus, Liu received a lotus, and Wu received a platycodon.
"Thank you for your reward." The three of them stood up again, took over and saluted.
After Mrs. Liu sat down, she didn't take a second look at the gift she received, and said hurriedly: "Fu Jin, I have never had any other skills, so I spent a lot of time painting a landscape and sailor fan. I hope Fuji will accept it."
Before Lu Pheasant could speak, Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed out loud: "Liu Gege really loves to talk. It's windy and snowy outside, and it's very cold in winter. Fujin doesn't need a fan at this time. How can it be so?" Can't you make some silver carbon?"
This statement makes sense at the beginning, but it turns out to be mean at the end. He stepped on her by the way. Shouldn’t Tangtang Fujin have to light the charcoal himself? But it was not easy for Lu Pheasant to argue, but he could make his servants have a fit, but it was not necessary for the time being.
It turns out that Mrs. Li is not only good at figure, but also able to win exclusive favors, and she also has a good tongue.
Mrs. Liu held the fan in her hand and felt very embarrassed for a moment.
Wu, who was in the back, calmly smoothed things over with an expressionless face: "This is all Liu Gege's intention. Sister Li has always been outspoken. Liu Gege, don't take it too seriously." He motioned for her to come forward and give the gift.
Madam Wu handed over the ladder, and Madam Lu nodded to her to take it, and Madam Liu quickly handed over the fan.
"Liu Gege's paintings are quite delicate. You put in the effort." Lu Pheasant's words are true. This fan is also made of silk thread. It's true that Liu put a lot of thought into it. Liu didn't lie.
Ms. Li looked left and right, but no one answered her, so she answered: "It's because I can't speak, and I offended Sister Fujin and Liu, please forgive me."
But his tone clearly didn't mean he wanted to be forgiven.
When Mrs. Liu saw Fujin praising her, even if it didn't sound sincere, she still wanted to stand by her first. Naturally, she was angry at this moment: "Since Li Gege is so insightful, I wonder what Li Gege has prepared today?"
Except for the Wu family, the other three of them entered the fourth master's courtyard at the same time.
Among the three, the timid Song was the least favored, but she was the first to become pregnant.
No one can say for sure about this belly thing.
Mrs. Li was the most favored, and the Fourth Master went to her house seven out of ten times a month.
I am neither above nor below, a dispensable position.
Ms. Liu thought about it over and over again. If she couldn't win the favor of her husband in the backyard, she would try to please the mistress who was about to come in. As long as the mistress didn't make things difficult for her, she would have enough money for her husband's food and clothing. Give it to her, and her future life will not be any more difficult.
The new Sifujin was another opportunity for her, so she carefully prepared a meeting gift. Who knew that Li, a little girl, could ruin her feelings with just his mouth.
Mrs. Li obviously came prepared: "Fu Jin, this picture of Guanyin sending children was consecrated at Qingshan Temple. They say it is the most efficacious there." The maid behind her followed the instructions and opened the black wooden box she had been holding.
When Lu Pheasant heard this, his expression was calm, and he realized that this was the card he was going to play today.
Uranala Zhizhen is only about the age of cardamom. Even though he has entered the yard, he still needs time to raise him. This is an unwritten rule. Everyone knows about it and will not announce it to anyone.
Li Shi sent her a good omen to give birth to a child at this time, which was meaningful.
However, Mrs. Liu jumped up as if she had discovered the opponent's trap: "Li Gege's words are obviously not sincere. If it is true, why is it that the one who is pregnant now is the one who is pregnant instead of you, Sister Li, who has had the most rain and dew?"
"Liu Gege is so presumptuous, can you say this in front of Fujin?" Li Shi immediately scolded him after being poked at his weak spot.
After entering her brother's house, Mrs. Li has always been the most favored, and she is also the most proud of it. But the timid Ms. Song, who can get her cards turned over once in a month, was actually the first one to be rumored to be pregnant. people.
When it was confirmed that Ms. Song was indeed pregnant, Ms. Li almost broke her teeth.
Before Fujin came in, although Mr. Liu didn't flatter him, he would never dare to choke her out so bluntly and loudly.
Today, he dared to say such words that poked her lungs when greeting her in the main courtyard. If he didn't deal with Mrs. Liu today, he might even dare to climb on her head in the future.
Li is not stupid, of course she can see clearly that Liu wants to follow Fujin's path today, and he also wants to step on her head.
Also, she is the most favored in the Fourth Master's yard right now. Who doesn't regard her as a thorn in his side? If anyone can help Xin Fujin get rid of her, wouldn't Mrs. Liu take over?
Humph, she doesn’t even look in the mirror to see how she looks, even Mrs. Liu dares to think about it!
Lu Pheasant wanted to wait and see when he met several concubines today.
Yong Zheng, a young young man, was unexpected and made her very satisfied. Lu Pheasant didn't want to scare him by being too harsh at once.
But why was it only the first day that these three people started to fight in front of her as soon as they showed up? Should she take action or not?
At this time, there was a "plop" sound on the ground like driving piles, and Su Peisheng's voice came in: "Master is here."
