The red candles were lit in the bridal chamber last night, waiting to pay homage to my uncle and aunt in front of the dawn hall;
After pretending, he asked his husband in a low voice, his eyebrows were dark and light at times.
Knowing that she could not escape Yang Fan's clutches, Princess Gao Yang could only close her eyes tightly.
When he realized that the high place was being grasped by big hands, his slender waist couldn't help but arch up, and he heard a scream that spread far and wide in the silent night.
Under the gentle breeze and drizzle of Yang Fan, the harp and harp sang in harmony until the rooster crowed at dawn.
Before she had rested for long, Princess Gaoyang was called up again.
There is no other way, but tea must be given to the parents-in-law early the next morning to show the hard work and filial piety of the daughter-in-law.
These etiquette and customs have existed since ancient times, and even Her Royal Highness the Princess is no exception.
Just when Princess Gao Yang wanted to move her body, the severe sting made her frown slightly. She rolled her eyes at Yang Fan complainingly and said in surprise:
"My husband is too cruel. How can you let Gao Yang see people today? Wow...I will become the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an City."
The bride had no experience, so she was naturally very afraid of pain, but the more she cried, the injured area was pulled, and her face turned pale in pain, and she was about to cry.
Yang Fan was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Who could control his enthusiasm?
So he quickly comforted: "Don't worry, we are all members of the family, who dares to tell anyone? Besides, you are the wife of our Yang family. Who dares to laugh at you? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out of the house?"
Princess Gao Yang just sobbed softly, not believing it at all, and continued to complain: "Humph, I don't believe your lies. Last night you said it didn't hurt, wuwu... How can I walk today? I'm really shameless in front of others. .”
Zheng Ruyu, who was waiting on the side, didn't know what to say, so she could only persuade him softly.
But Princess Gaoyang didn't listen to anyone, had no intention of getting up at all, and just got into a little temper.
Distraught by her, Yang Fan hugged Princess Gao Yang with the sheets attached.
This operation frightened Princess Gaoyang, and she said in horror: "What do you want to do? I'm not even dressed yet!"
Yang Fan ignored him at all and said with a ferocious smile: "Aren't you unwilling to get up? Then I will just carry you over."
In fact, Yang Fan didn't pay much attention to the etiquette of serving tea. After all, his biological parents had passed away and he only had one recognized godmother, Queen Mother Xiao.
But he couldn't indulge Princess Gaoyang's little temper. Once something went wrong, wouldn't the whole backyard be in turmoil?
He must establish his majesty, even if the other party is the high-ranking princess.
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Princess Gao Yang's face turned pale with fright. If Yang Fan hugged her without even wearing any clothes, she would be so ashamed that she would die of shame.
I had to use all my strength to thrash about, but seeing that it had no effect, I could only beg for mercy in the end: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,"
After saying that, he looked at Zheng Ruyu with tears in his eyes and shouted: "If you don't hurry up and change my clothes and wash up, do you want to make fun of me?"
Zheng Ruyu suffered a terrible disaster in vain, but she could only rush to help and serve.
She knew that Princess Gao Yang's temper was not directed at her, but to find a place to vent her anger.
Seeing Princess Gao Yang's submission, Yang Fan comforted her and said, "Isn't it great that you had been so good earlier? Clean up quickly and I will carry you over later."
Princess Gao Yang was speechless and could only acquiesce in Yang Fan's strength.
How dare Zheng Ruyu neglect washing, dressing up, dressing up...
After a while, Princess Gaoyang was dressed up into a beautiful beauty.
Compared with yesterday, there is a little more mature charm and a little less girlish immaturity.
As soon as he carried Princess Gao Yang out of the courtyard, Yang Fan saw Princess Chang Le waiting at the door of the new house with the twin maids.
Logically speaking, she would also go to serve tea with Princess Gaoyang.
Just seeing Princess Changle's apprehensive eyes, Princess Gao Yang could only quickly ask Yang Fan to let her go.
Of course, Yang Fan saw her arrogant character and quickly asked Zheng Ruyu to help her. Of course, he knew how lethal he was.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw that Queen Mother Xiao was already sitting on the main seat in the middle, while Wu Meiniang, Xiao Shiyun, Xu Hui... and other ladies stood quietly aside.
The head wives have to serve tea to their mother-in-law, so naturally they, the concubines, cannot be absent.
What's more, after Gao Yang and Changle served tea, concubines like Wu Meiniang would also serve tea to Gao Yang and others.
Chang Le, Princess Gao Yang and their entourage entered the main hall, and Xing'er and Wan'er presented fragrant tea.
Chang Le and Gao Yang did not act like princesses. They stepped forward and came to Queen Mother Xiao. Yingying knelt down and said respectfully: "Please have tea with your godmother."
According to past etiquette, if you are Princess Shang, you do not need to kneel down when serving tea to your parents after the princess gets married.
However, Yang Fan is marrying a princess. Although the princess is a noble person, since it is a marriage, of course, according to the etiquette and customs of marrying a daughter-in-law, and supporting the elders with the courtesy of descendants, this is the way of human ethics.
Empress Dowager Xiao's face was full of joy. She took Yang Fan's tea cup with both hands and took a sip. Then she took the tea cup from Princess Gao Yang and Changle and took a sip in the same way.
Although Empress Dowager Xiao was a little resentful of Li Tang taking away her kingdom, she was still very satisfied with the two daughters-in-law.
Of course, the foundation of all this is based on Yang Fan, her godson, because she saw a glimmer of hope in Yang Fan.
Empress Dowager Xiao asked Yang Fan to marry the two princesses Chang Le and Gao Yang, and also designed an entanglement between Yang Fan and his eldest grandson Wugou and Concubine Yang.
Rather than saying that he has revenge, it is better to say that he wants to increase Yang Fan's background.
Although Yang Fan has been making great progress in the past two years, he is in a high position at a young age, and he has a treasure trove of Junyangfang.
But these things are just external things. Compared with those aristocratic families that have accumulated for thousands of years, there is still a big gap in their background.
The fact that Changle and Princess Gaoyang were married together not only increased the Yang family's heritage, but also allowed others to see that His Majesty Li Er valued Yang Fan, which was an intangible resource.
What's more, Princess Changle is gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable, and has an excellent reputation. Princess Gaoyang is also deeply loved by His Majesty Li Er.
It can be said that these two princesses are His Majesty Li Er's favorite daughters. Compared with several princes, their status and status are not low.
With such a marriage, using the identities of Chang Le and Gao Yang to pull off the tiger's skin would be a big killer.
Empress Dowager Xiao had a smile on her face, stretched out her hand to pull Princess Chang Le and Gao Yang up, and looked at them up and down. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
He took Chang Le and Princess Gaoyang to sit beside him, asking questions and showing concern, fearing that the new daughter-in-law might feel uncomfortable when she entered the house.
Then he took out two pairs of green bracelets from his arms and put them on the wrists of Chang Le and Gao Yang respectively.
The emerald green bracelet is turquoise and transparent, and the white wrist is like frost and snow. The two contrasting colors make it look extremely beautiful.
In this way, it is equivalent to recognizing the identity of the mistress of the two houses.
Changle and Gao Yang saluted together and said happily: "Thank you, godmother."
But if the two girls knew that Empress Dowager Xiao had plotted against Zhang Sun Wugou and Concubine Yang, I wonder if they would be so happy.
Wu Meiniang on the side looked envious, but she didn't feel the slightest bit jealous.
One is that his status cannot be compared with the two princesses, and the other is that he is just a concubine sent by the emperor.
The reason why there is no jealousy is that in Wu Meiniang's opinion, no matter how good the jade bracelet is, it cannot compare to the jade seal.
After all, Yang Fan gave her the jade seal given to him by Queen Mother Xiao for safekeeping. What else could Wu Meiniang be dissatisfied with.
Besides, if the Yang family wants such jade bracelets now, there is no shortage at all, so there is no need to worry about them.
The reason why I am a little envious is just because of the status of Chang Le and Gao Yang as ladies.
Of course, there is a more important point. His Majesty Li Er is their biological father, and the future emperor will either be their elder brother or younger brother. Wu Meiniang has such a solid backing, and it is too late to win over her. How could she be so stupid as to go with the two just because of a pair of bracelets? Against a princess?
Wu Meiniang watched the two princesses finish serving tea, raised her teacup, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to your husband on marrying two noble princesses. Now that you have a family and a career, you should act more safely in the future."
"Although our family now has two princesses supporting us, in the officialdom, the forces of all parties are intertwined and complex. Sometimes it is really not something that can be solved with fists. We also have to distinguish who is far away and who is close."
"Mei Niang is very happy that the two princesses have entered the palace this time. I specially offer this tea to Her Royal Highness. In the future, if Mei Niang fails to do something well, please forgive her."
"Meiniang is so polite. The Yang family will rely on you more in the future!" Princess Changle quickly stood up and took the tea cup.
She could guess some of Wu Meiniang's thoughts.
This young lady obviously wanted to please them in order to increase her weight in Yang Fan's heart.
Seeing Princess Changle finish the drink, Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Yang Fan. He was extremely satisfied with his godson.
She thinks that this son does have good eyesight. During her time in the Yang Mansion, Wu Meiniang's skill has been obvious to all.
Empress Dowager Xiao still admired how a weak woman could manage the huge Yang Mansion in an orderly manner.
More importantly, judging from her usual words and deeds, this concubine has a high political talent and sees problems accurately. With her help, Yang Fan can save a lot of trouble.
To be honest, from Queen Mother Xiao's point of view, sometimes Yang Fan did not act like a member of the officialdom.
After all, if you want to achieve something in the officialdom, how can you use force if you are unhappy?
The more high-ranking a person is, the more he knows how to balance and compromise. If he beats others at every turn, his achievements will be limited.
Now that he is married to a princess, he is even more afraid that Yang Fan will get carried away.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Xiao reminded: "Son, what Mei Niang said is true. You should be calmer in the future and don't get angry when something happens."
"In addition, whether it is your wife or concubine, she is your woman. You must respect, love and treat her as an equal. This is the way to prosper your family business."
Wu Meiniang smiled broadly.
Looking at Empress Dowager Xiao with a look of reverence on her face, she was indeed a first-generation empress with a very clever skill.
However, for Wu Meiniang, she just wanted to fight for her own right to speak. She did not want to fight for the royal wife, nor would she take it for granted that her status was equal to the two princesses.
Although she became Yang Fan's bed partner before Chang Le and Gao Yang, but since she was gifted to Yang Fan by the emperor, she had no choice but to be a concubine.
Fortunately, Yang Fan was open-minded and instead of looking down on her because of her status as concubine, he handed over all the financial power to her.
Not only that, but she was also allowed to hold a secret intelligence organization, so that no one in the Yang family dared to despise Wu Meiniang. This was simply unparalleled trust.
Everyone in Guanzhong knew that Wu Meiniang was Yang Fan's most favored concubine and Yang Fan's most trusted wife. This was the thing Wu Meiniang was most proud of.
Although sometimes she is a bit unwilling to accept her identity as Wu Meiniang, she can accept it.
After all, the royal ladies are the two most beloved princesses of the emperor.
Looking at the world, who else has a higher status than the two princesses Changle and Gaoyang?
Moreover, she knew Yang Fan's temper well.
She usually seems easy-going and carefree in her work, but in fact she has a strong sense of inner strength. She hates the drama of restlessness in the back house and competition between wives and concubines.
He took the initiative to show his goodwill and expressed peaceful coexistence. No matter what the result was, it would definitely be recognized in Yang Fan's heart.
As for whether Changle and Gao Yang couldn't stand her controlling the Yang family's financial power and wanted to snatch it away.
Wu Meiniang hoped that they would not be so ungrateful.
It's not that Wu Meiniang is arrogant, the scale of Junyangfang and the trading center is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does it control the entire Guanzhong business, it has even gradually developed to the entire Tang Dynasty.
As Yang Fan goes south to open up a waterway, the scale will inevitably grow greatly.
The personnel, business routes, sales, accounts involved...
If it were another person, Wu Meiniang would definitely not be able to do better. This is where her confidence lies.
As long as Junyangfang and the trading center are in her hands, she will be able to occupy a place in the Yang family, instead of being a little girl who can only rely on her beauty to please others.
To entertain people with sex, the sex fades and love dies. Wu Meiniang does not want to make such a vase.
Although Yang Fan is not a heartless person, even if Wu Meiniang doesn't think about herself, she still has to think about the future of the Yang family and her children.
Once she has children, only if she, Wu Meiniang, has a status in the Yang family, will her children be taken seriously.
Even if the sons of Princess Changle and Princess Gaoyang are the heirs to Yang Fan's title, Wu Meiniang doesn't want her children to do nothing.
She has to pave a way for her children to be at least financially worry-free. This is the most basic requirement.
After paying homage to Princess Changle, Princess Gaoyang, Yang Fan’s legitimate wife, followed.
Seeing the tea cup handed over by Wu Meiniang, Princess Gao Yang couldn't help but feel a little funny. She never expected that the smart Wu Meiniang would also give in.
Originally, the relationship between the two was relatively good, so naturally they would not care about Wu Meiniang's petty thoughts.
With the support of Zheng Ruyu, he personally took the tea from Wu Meiniang.
It's just that the steps are not easy when walking, probably because of some injury.
Wu Meiniang smiled knowingly, stood up and greeted him.
Who else knows Yang Fan's abilities better than her?
What's more, she lived in the backyard last night, not far from the new house.
There was no noise that could not be heard last night.
Not to mention Yang Fan's wolf-like endurance, his strong body alone is enough for Princess Gaoyang to drink a pot.
I was put through a lot of trouble back then, and even as I became more and more experienced, I still didn't dare to deal with it alone.
"Your Highness, please have tea!"
Wu Meiniang felt sympathy for Princess Gaoyang in her heart, but she was not slow on her feet. She took a few steps forward and handed over the teacup.
Holding back the discomfort, Princess Gaoyang forced a smile and said softly: "Mei Niang, you don't have to be polite. We are not outsiders. We don't need these false courtesy in the future. From now on, you and I, sisters, can do whatever you want."
Of course Wu Meiniang would not be ungrateful. Kneeling in front of Princess Gaoyang, he raised the tea cup high with both hands and said respectfully: "How dare the slave family be commensurate with the princess and sisters? Doesn't this disturb the dignity?"
"The state has national laws, the family has family rules, Your Highness loves you so much, Mei Niang understands it, and the slave family will remember it for the rest of their lives."
This is the brilliance of Wu Meiniang.
Being worthy of Princess Gaoyang and her sisters, doesn’t that mean that she wants to compete for favor?
There is His Majesty standing behind me. How can we fight in this era when imperial power is supreme?
Since there is nothing to fight about, it is better to recognize the reality and make good friends.
Relying on the previous friendship between the two, wouldn't it be better to use the tiger's skin to promote the banner?
Moreover, deliberately showing weakness can bring people closer to each other.
As expected, Princess Gaoyang took the tea cup offered by Wu Meiniang with a smile, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Meiniang, you're welcome, we are sisters to begin with, how can we talk about inferiority? The godmother just said After all, we are all equal."
Princess Gaoyang is a little careless because of her personality, but she is not stupid inside.
According to Yang Fan's current status and the height he can reach in the future, it can be foreseen that there must be many women who are stuffed into the Yang Mansion's backyard for various reasons.
Instead of having to deal with the women sent by various forces in the future, why not now win over Wu Meiniang to form a united front.
Wu Meiniang was in charge of almost all the property of the Yang family, and she was not just a concubine.
Princess Gaoyang is self-aware. Neither she nor her sister Princess Changle have business acumen.
If they were asked to manage a huge business, they would be completely confused and unable to do it at all.
As a princess and Yang Fan's wife, there is no need to argue with Wu Meiniang.
Since there is no conflict of interest, it would be a smart idea to form an alliance to deal with possible opponents in the future.
Wu Meiniang was so smart that she quickly understood what Princess Gao Yang meant, and immediately smiled and said: "From now on, I will listen to Her Highness the Princess."
We are all smart people, and we can determine the offensive and defensive alliance in just a few words.
With the status of the two princesses and the resources controlled by Wu Meiniang, it may not be that easy for any girl from any family to enter the Yang Mansion's back house in the future.
Yang Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw how the several women had a harmonious relationship and were talking happily.
I originally thought that Wu Meiniang, a bitch, might have some thoughts, but it seems that it is really hard to guess a woman's thoughts.
However, Yang Fan was too lazy to care about the things between women.
In his opinion, women, as long as they don't cause chaos in the family, then let them do whatever they want.
