"The concubine is dressed very elegantly today."
Liang Yueyin glanced at the princess and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the concubine was dressed more gorgeously and noblely than the princess.
"Concubine, you are trying to overshadow the princess."
"The concubine's clothes are indeed a bit ostentatious. Is she afraid of something wrong?" Ji Qiuyu looked Fu Yinshuang up and down. Fu Yunting was the richest man and his family had a lot of money, so his clothes were naturally luxurious.
Fu Yinshuang lowered her eyes and glanced at her clothes, then looked at the princess and the two ladies with a smile. Liang Yueyin and Ji Qiuyu were also ladies from official families, but their official positions were small, otherwise they would not be reduced to concubines.
As for why she could be a concubine, it was naturally because Fu Yunting had too much money.
Although the status of a merchant is low, it is different when a merchant is so rich that he can rival the country.
Today is also the first time she has met the two ladies. It can also be seen that the two ladies are on Li Yingying's side. Also, Li Yingying is the princess and the daughter of Zuo Xiangfu, so it is normal for her to flatter her.
"To make the princess and my two sisters laugh, I dress like this on weekdays. If it's a festival, I'll dress more grandly. I didn't expect that it would steal the spotlight from the princess. I will pay attention to it next time."
What seems like a modest statement is actually showing off. Showing off her usual clothes is just dressing up in their eyes.
Liang Yueyin and Ji Qiuyu took care of the housekeeper, and they were dressed so well that they couldn't even touch Fu Yinshuang's sides. Neither of them spoke, but looked at Li Yingying.
Li Yingying's face is not looking good either. She dresses like this on weekdays. If it's a holiday, what should she wear?
If she walked out with Fu Yinshuang like this, would she, the royal concubine, still want her face?
"The emperor advocates frugality. If the emperor finds out about your extravagance, I'm afraid the prince will be dragged down by you and say that the prince is lax in discipline. The concubine should reflect on it."
Fu Yinshuang's slender fingers touched Yu Feng Buyao on the right side. When she looked at Li Yingying, she said with a bit of a smile, "Princess, you don't know. What I eat is all my own. Your Majesty, in this way, even if the Emperor knows about it, he won’t think there is anything wrong with His Majesty.”
Fu Yinshuang paused for a moment before continuing: "The two sisters should really learn from the princess's frugality. There should be a limit on food and drink expenses. As a model, the princess will naturally lead the two sisters well. As for me……"
Fu Yinshuang covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't have to accept half a year's silver rice. The princess and several sisters should also work hard to save more for the palace."
Liang Yueyin's expression changed after hearing this. She would barely have enough silver rice every month. If she saved any more, she might not have any new clothes every month.
Ji Qiuyu and Liang Yueyin were in the same situation. They both had enough money, and they were looking forward to receiving silver rice in the days at the end of the month. This savings was so tight that they had to live in pain.
Li Yingying's face, which had just softened a little, turned ugly again after hearing this. Her monthly silver rice was not enough. She used it to supplement her dowry for food, drink, and rewards for servants.
If she saves money, will she lose face as a princess?
With Fu Yinshuang's tone, he wanted her to give half a year's worth of silver rice?
Doesn’t that mean we have to rely on dowry to live?
Fu Yinshuang played with the handkerchief in her hand and looked at the three women in front of her, all of whom looked unhappy. She looked at the three plates of pastries and tea in front of Li Yingying. She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Princess, these pastries and Yunwu But it’s very expensive, so I’d better change it, otherwise I’m afraid it will bring trouble to the prince if I let the emperor know about it.”
Li Yingying looked at the pastries and tea in front of her. They were all just bought from Dayazhai today. As for the clouds, she also bought them with Bushapo silver. These were just for show, so she was asked to change them?
Where has Li Yingying ever been controlled like this?
"Concubine, you are a little too strict. It's just food, how much will be wasted?"
Fu Yinshuang said with a full smile: "Princess, did you hear tomorrow that the national treasury is in short supply? In order to save money, the emperor ordered all the palaces and courtyards to cancel the supply of Dayazhai tea refreshments. Yunwu can only receive one or two taels per month. Even now , this is the rule in the palace."
Li Yingying had nothing to say for a while. She had naturally heard her father talk about this matter. If Fu Yunting hadn't donated a large sum of silver and gold, she might not have been able to survive.
It is enough to show that the Fu family has so much money that people are envious and jealous.
No wonder my father said that the legitimate daughter of the Fu family could marry a prince even if she was a fool, and the concubine could become a concubine, all because of the money.
This topic cannot be continued. Who knows what Fu Yinshuang will say next?
"Concubine, you have said so much, sit down and drink tea to quench your thirst."
"Thank you, Princess." Fu Yinshuang sat down on the round stool and glanced at the tea in front of her. To be on the safe side, she had better not drink it because she might not know what Li Yingying did in the tea.
Seeing that Fu Yinshuang didn't drink tea, Li Yingying reminded her with a smile, "Concubine, why don't you drink tea?"
Fu Yinshuang took a look at the tea and said, "Princess, you have forgotten that you want us to be frugal. I won't drink Yunwu."
Li Yingying glanced at the cup of tea and was so angry that she didn't speak.
Ji Qiuyu and Liang Yueyin looked at each other, but neither answered.
Fu Yinshuang continued to play with the handkerchief in her hand. When she arrived, she knew that Li Yingying wanted her to stand and talk. As for the cup of tea, judging from Li Yingying's reaction just now, there was definitely something wrong.
These difficulties are nothing to her, just childish.
Li Yingying put down the tea cup in her hand and suggested: "The water lilies in the lotus pond are blooming. Sisters, let's go enjoy the lotus together."
Ji Qiuyu and Liang Yueyin agreed: "Okay."
Fu Yinshuang also smiled and said: "This season is the best season to appreciate water lilies."
Li Yingying glanced at Fu Yinshuang and walked out first with a smile on her lips.
There is a small lotus pond in Fangyi courtyard, with water lilies as big as a bowl in full bloom.
Fu Yinshuang stood by the lotus pond, looking at the bright red water lilies. She didn’t know what kind they were, but they were in good condition. She then dug a lotus pond in her yard and planted lotus flowers. It would be nice to drink tea and enjoy the lotus flowers in the summer. .
Li Yingying slowly came to Fu Yinshuang, took her hand and pointed to the water lily not far away and said: "Concubine, look, is that water lily... ah!"
Before she finished speaking, Li Yingying fell back and looked at Fu Yinshuang in horror, "Why are you..."
Before she could say the word "Push", Fu Yinshuang quickly grabbed her hand and pulled Li Yingying back.
Fu Yinshuang noticed when Li Yingying came over, and when she stretched out her hand, she guessed what Li Yingying had in mind.
This is the favorite trick of the scheming bitch. It can frame others and win sympathy, and then pretend to beg for mercy.
After Fu Yinshuang helped Li Yingying, she looked at her worriedly, "Princess, are you okay?"
Li Yingying didn't expect Fu Yinshuang to hold her back, and it was a pity that she missed this opportunity.
"Thank you concubine, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Fu Yinshuang was still worried and said: "Why is the princess so careless?" If it falls, I don’t know if you think it was me who pushed it, the princess said, right? "
Li Yingying forced out a faint smile, "What did the concubine say? Who would think so?"
Fu Yinshuang smiled slightly, "It's best not to have nature. Princess, it's better to stay away from the lotus pond in the future. It would be bad if she falls."
Li Yingying nodded humbly, "I will pay attention."
Fu Yinshuang raised the corners of her lips, "Princess, continue admiring the water lilies. I'll go back if I have anything else to do."
Li Yingying was a little reluctant, but had to let Fu Yinshuang leave.
"Concubine, please go back first."
When Fu Yinshuang turned to leave, she put away the smile on her face. She was so scheming. If you don't fall into the lotus pond, who will?
Fu Yinshuang had just walked less than three meters when she heard a scream. She looked back and saw Li Yingying's body falling into the lotus pond with a "whoosh" like a kite with its strings broken.
"Plop!"
Even if you didn't see Li Yingying fall into the lotus pond with your own eyes, you can still imagine her graceful figure when she fell into the water, and her pitiful appearance after falling into the water.
Of course, she couldn't see Chu Chu being pitiful, she could only dance happily in her heart.
Fu Yinshuang came back again and saw Li Yingying fluttering in the water. She had long lost her airs as a princess, and she was immediately happy. When did she turn into a crow's mouth?
Ji Qiuyu recovered from the fright and called for help: "Come here, the princess has fallen into the water."
Liang Yueyin also shouted: "Come quickly, help the princess, the princess has fallen into the water."
Finally, Li Yingying was rescued by her servant. When she was rescued, she was already unconscious.
Fu Yinshuang leaned on the table, crossed her legs, and continued drinking tea and eating snacks.
When Yan Hong came in, she saw that her girl was not sitting up, even though she was crossing her legs, she was still standing on tiptoe.
She walked over and held down Fu Yinshuang's legs, "Girl, it would be bad if the prince saw this."
Fu Yinshuang listened to Yan Hong's mother-like nagging and felt helpless, "The prince will be visiting the princess in Fangyiyuan, how can he have time to come over?"
Yan Hong still said seriously: "Girl, you should be more considerate. How long have you been married? You haven't consummated your marriage with the prince yet?"
Fu Yinshuang looked at Yan Hong with an expectant look on her face, which made people unable to bear to break her fantasy.
She was different, she cruelly broke Yan Hong's expectations.
"Your Majesty is very sick. Let alone consummating the marriage, I'm afraid that if he just kisses him, he won't be able to breathe, and then his hair will turn upside down..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Hong covered her mouth and said with a serious face: "Auntie, why do you say everything? How can you say such a thing?"
Fu Yinshuang blinked her beautiful almond-shaped eyes twice. She was putting it lightly, and she didn't even mention that it would be bad if she took off her clothes and didn't exercise.
Why?
Ji Che, that sick boy, would faint if he got too excited.
Then it will not be a consummation of the marriage, but a widowhood.
Outside the door, the conversation between the two reached Xiao Che's ears word for word, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
He didn't expect to hear such bold and explicit words when he arrived.
Good night, babies!
