But Princess Fukang couldn't accept it at all!
You must know that she is a legitimate princess and has been of noble status since she was a child. How could her concubine take a concubine?
For the princesses born to other concubines, they are the only ones who have concubines. As a legitimate princess, wouldn’t she be laughed at if she let her concubine take a concubine?
Princess Fukang loves face very much. If those concubine princesses read her jokes, it would be even worse than a slap in the face!
She no longer dared to be arrogant in front of Marquis Gao Yang. When she got married, her arrogance was much higher. Now because of the difficulty of having an heir, she is inevitably a little more cautious.
But no matter how careful she is, she still has a lot of pride in her heart. Now that the prince-in-law and his family are discussing taking a concubine, how does she feel?
Today happened to be her mother's birthday, and she planned to take advantage of her time in the palace to cry out to her mother and ask her mother to take care of Gaoyang Hou's family.
Especially her mother-in-law who talks a lot but has a snake heart!
On the surface, he has great respect for her, the direct princess, but secretly he has been teasing the consort for who knows how long. Now he is just waiting to see his own joke. If he doesn't take measures, I'm afraid she will become Dayan's first consort in so many years. The princess who took a concubine!
"You!" The Queen Mother said with a headache, "Why can't you calm down a little?"
Today was originally a good day, so she was looking forward to her daughter coming in to stay with her, but her daughter would start crying as soon as she came, and the Queen Mother felt that her good mood early in the morning was affected.
Princess Fukang was born pretty and has not suffered for so many years, so even though she is not young, she is still radiant.
The queen was quite familiar with her and had been in constant contact with her before. Seeing her crying, she took her aside to talk.
The Queen Mother also squinted her eyes and asked Princess Fukang: "Since the concubine has not yet taken a concubine, why are you crying? The Ai family was wondering why you didn't come to the family banquet before. What were you doing there before?"
At the family dinner a few days ago, as the Queen Mother's daughter, Princess Fukang logically should come.
The Queen Mother also looked forward to it at the banquet, but her daughter never came.
After the family banquet, she sent someone out of the palace to investigate and make sure nothing happened before she felt relieved.
However, the information that the palace people can inquire about is very limited, so it is more serious to ask her to tell herself what is going on.
"You're not a bitch in the house!" Princess Fukang became very angry when she mentioned this:
"Mother, Rong'er is really feeling aggrieved. Prince Consort, someone came to your mother's house a few days ago. It wouldn't matter if they were real relatives. They brought some unattractive things, and there was also a charming girl. Hu Meizi, after she came, the old witch encouraged the prince-in-law to get along with the cousin. Erchen was very angry, but the prince-in-law said that the cousin's parents were both dead and she came to seek refuge with her relatives, so she couldn't send him away. He also said that the prince had no idea. There’s room for everyone!”
What kind of tolerance does a good relative need? And judging from what the old lady meant, she actually wanted to set up a match for her son.
How can such a person stay in the princess's mansion? Doesn't this make people have sex with their consort under their noses?
It's strange that Princess Fukang can bear this tone.
She made a big fuss, but who knew that the old lady was deliberately trying to trick her, so she actually took that little bitch around the mansion and even brought her to see her!
When the concubine enters the house, don’t you have to greet the main wife? Princess Fukang became very angry when she thought of this, and directly said that she was not feeling well and could not go out to meet guests.
It was precisely because she found this reason that she postponed the family dinner at that time, thinking that it would be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days anyway, and it would be a good time to visit her mother and let her make decisions for her.
"How unbridled!" The Queen Mother was angry when she heard this, and said coldly: "My son is a princess with a noble status, but this family is so insulting. They really don't take the Ai family and the emperor seriously."
While she was cursing, she looked back at her daughter with eyes full of heartache: "Rong'er, why don't you come into the palace during the family banquet? Your mother is in this palace, how can anyone force you?"
Although the princess had nothing to do for five years, the prince-in-law could take a concubine, but she still had to go through a memorial to write to the emperor. Han Xianzong did not receive any documents at all, so the old lady dared to force her daughter like this... The Queen Mother became very angry when she thought of this. light.
"Mother." Seeing the Queen Mother's anger, Princess Fukang snuggled up to her side and acted coquettishly. She also said many flattering words and made the Queen Mother promise a lot before she was satisfied.
Princess Fukang was satisfied after getting the promise. Then she turned around and saw the queen sitting aside.
She also heard about things in the palace, so she talked about Xie Ziyue.
"That man is very lucky. He obviously couldn't give birth, but he didn't expect to be pregnant..." Princess Fukang curled her lips, unable to hide her jealousy.
She grew up like a child, never suffered any sins, and even after getting married, she still couldn't get pregnant.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ziyue was a capable person. After suffering such a crime before, she could still be pregnant with the emperor's heir... Thinking of her own difficulties, Princess Fukang felt extremely unhappy.
She was naturally on the Queen's side, and the contempt in her tone almost overflowed.
The queen felt aggrieved and could only smile.
Perhaps because her daughter entered the palace today, the Queen Mother was in a much better mood. After all, the Queen had just comforted Princess Fukang, and she was her niece. When she saw the Queen's gloomy expression, she patted her hand to express her gratitude. comfort:
"Okay, Queen, the Ai family knows this well, so don't think too much about it. Winning over the Emperor is what you should do most now."
The queen looked happy and thanked her quickly.
"Queen Mother, the time has come, we should go out." Aunt Lanruo reminded in a low voice at this time.
The Queen Mother did not reply immediately, but looked at her with questioning eyes, as if she was asking something.
Aunt Lan Ruo, as a confidant of the Queen Mother for many years, naturally understood what the Queen Mother was asking about.
She gave a reassuring look. The exchange between the master and the servant lasted only a moment, and no one else noticed at all.
After receiving a look of affirmation, the Queen Mother showed a smile, and stood up with the support of the Queen and Princess Fukang:
"Now that the time has come, we should go out and don't make people wait impatiently."
The three of them came out here, and over there, Xie Ziyue also put on the imperial concubine uniform, and was helped out by Tao Xiang.
Today is a sunny day. Even if she is riding in a sedan chair, Xie Ziyue feels uncomfortable from the sun. Her chest is even more stuffy and swollen. Gu Xuan is moving excitedly in her belly. She can only put her hand on it, wondering if there is anything. Soothingly.
Today's palace people are walking in a hurry, and everyone is preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday.
