Chapter 313: Every Lady Is Different(1/2)
Shu Yao played with the two exquisite red posts on her hands, and a faint smile on her lips.
Mother Liu was making sheepskin boots for Shuyao. She held the needle and gently slid between her hair a few times. She smiled disdainfully: "It's just a concubine. I think too much about myself. Don't say that you have entered the door before you even entered.
Whether or not you want to show up at the birthday banquet of a illegitimate sister-in-law depends on whether you are happy or not."
The reason why Mother Liu was so confident was mainly because no one in the capital did not know the difference between legitimate and illegitimate Prince Yong's mansion. If it were changed to another royal palace, it would not be necessary. Most of the big families in the capital still value storefront skills, otherwise the censors would
It's troublesome enough. Like Jin Xida's father, Old Master Jin, he blatantly favors concubines and his wife. There are indeed not many people who favor concubines and their legitimate sons and daughters, but they prefer concubines and daughters (especially concubines, which is not easy to cause criticism), and deduct them from the legitimate son and daughters-in-law.
There will definitely be no shortage of hats and shoes.
Shu Yao actually did not particularly reject and despise the illegitimate ones. Her father Xia Linxuan was also a illegitimate one. If she was really serious, Prince Yong would also be a illegitimate ones.
If Concubine Zhao really treated Qi Haoning as her own, and took good care of her, Shu Yao wouldn't mind attending Qi Yuexin's birthday banquet and making friends with them, no matter how much she said, it was all from Prince Yong's lineage.
?It can be regarded as Qi Haoning's siblings. She, Shuwen, and his elder brother are not born by the same mother, but the elder brother's love and care for them is definitely not something that ordinary elder brothers can do.
However, Concubine Zhao dared to buy evil and attack Qi Haoning. Why did she let Qi Haoning treat her and her children and give them face?
What Shu Yao hates the most is the use of the ignorance of young children to gain trust, gain all the benefits, and fool people in their hands.
"Prepare a moderate birthday gift and send it to Lan Jin one day in advance." Shu Yao handed the post to Lan Jin, "Just say that I, Princess Yue, and the fourth princess, have already made an appointment that day.
Go into the palace.”
Lan Jin hurriedly took the post and replied: "Girl, what about that." Duke An Guo's Mansion and Princess Yan are not good things either. When Lan Jin thought of the second day of the wedding, the girl and Prince Ning entered the palace to thank him. Na Yan
The princess actually blocked Prince Ning at the door, and she was so angry that she felt a thousand angry. What does this mean? She is also a lady from a noble family!
Shu Yao smiled: "Princess Yan's invitation is always there, and she will be considered a relative in the future." Although Shu Yao felt that Sima Yan's banquet was "bad intentions".
The second prince's concubine still has to give her face. She doesn't look at the monk's face. Even if she looks at the "Buddha Face" of the Empress Dowager, Shu Yao doesn't want to make a feud with Princess Yan on the face. Then again, they are
There was no conflict between them, except that Princess Yan liked Qi Haoning. However, now Qi Haoning has become a marriage with her, and Princess Yan will soon be in charge of the Second Prince's Mansion (a wedding in May).
Mother Liu listened on the side. The corners of her mouth bent with satisfaction. Her sister handled it very well. She saw various relationships clearly and thoroughly.
Shu Yao didn't worry too much, and handled the two posts in just a few seconds, and then did whatever she should do. Now that her sister-in-law is pregnant, she has a lot of things to do. On the one hand, she has taken over some of the affairs and started
Listen to the manager's report every day and give instructions; on the other hand, he also excitedly prepares clothes for his nephew or niece who will arrive in a few months.
Even Shuwen is busy organizing various toys that attract little babies, and even said arrogantly that if it is a little nephew, he will definitely be closest to him, his uncle in the future, because his elder brother is too busy, and he will take his nephew to play and teach him
My nephew practices calligraphy and martial arts.
Shujie didn't argue with him, but just said with a smile: "You have to remember your words. Don't be lazy at that time, and you won't be teased by your nephew."
Shuwen slapped his chest and thumped it. When he thought of a little baby with pink makeup following him in the future, he was so proud. Unexpectedly, there were really two ghost elves' tails sticking to him all day long.
When you are naughty, you can't hide, scold and be reluctant to let go, and you can't wait to open your mouth to compete with them to cry. It's so "hard" that you are worried and happy, and you regret today's "blow-up". Haha, these are all
It's a story later.
What’s funny is that Shu Yao, the person who received the post, was so relaxed and calm, but the two people who posted the post were very entangled.
Because of Sima Yan's marriage, the Duke of Anguo's mansion has been busy recently. Duke Anguo and the wife of the prince personally took charge of Sima Yan's dowry and preparations for the wedding.
Duke An Guo and his wife really love Sima Yan. Since Sima Yan was eleven or twelve years old, she started collecting good wood for making furniture and top-quality pear blossom trees. These silvers were made by Duke An Guo and his wife themselves, as their big ones.
The dowry prepared by the room for the niece.
Sima Yan's mother and sister-in-law have a generous dowry (Sima Yan's sister-in-law's family is very smart and did not want to return to her daughter's dowry back then. They believed that the emperor would not treat the widowed mother of the second wife of Sima's family and did not want to break up the Duke of Tong'an.
This family is a relative of the mansion).
Duke An Guo, the second house's property, never moved, and was all assigned to Sima Yan's name.
There are still so many years of rewards given to Sima Yan by the emperor and the empress dowager, and every stroke cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, Sima Yan's dowry will be amazing. In addition to Nangong Miao, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Sima Yan is probably the most popular bride in these years.
The wedding preparations and the New Year's affairs, the wives of the chief lord of Anguo Mansion are really not idle. Even Sima Yan is busy with the prince's wife. As the second prince's concubine, being a director is an indispensable course. Hua Mama
I have always taught her this.
After the marriage was granted, Duke Anguo's wife asked the prince's wife to take Sima Yan to take charge of the gift. Sima Yan had no conflicts or burdens for the prince and the prince's wife, only help, and the prince's wife did her best to keep her private affairs without any hiding.
Teach her all her unique skills.
Sima Yan was smart and strong. In a few days, the prince's wife praised her, saying that Sima Yan made her much more relaxed. Just so happened that Sima Yan helped her housekeeper, and she freed up her energy to take care of Sima Yan's marriage.
Today, Sima Yan distributed all the posts from the Plum Blossom Banquet, and sat on the couch and was stunned.
After a while, Sima Yan asked quietly: "Mom, do you think Xia Shuyao will come?"
Mother Hua sighed secretly and smiled, "Of course, I know, sister, don't think about it anymore. You and Miss Xia will be serious in the future. If you have a good relationship, you will be harmless, but if you have a bad relationship, you will cause many disadvantages.
, Miss Xia has no conflict with you, and before... she didn't know anything about it. All the past has passed. Sister, I've seen it openly, your future life will not be worse than her. If you deliberately want to go with her
Not good, even the Empress Dowager..."
Sima Yan smiled (but it was more like a bitter smile when she savored it), and took Hua's mother's hand and said, "I know that my mother treats me sincerely, and everything she says is for me. Mom in this world is also my closest trustworthy
I am a man. Don’t worry, I still have this kind of demeanor and consideration, otherwise it would have been a disgrace and my mother’s teachings for many years?”
In Sima Yan's heart, no matter how glorious Shu Yao is on the surface, she still cannot be compared with her. She is a "fake noble girl" who debuted halfway through the road. At best, she is just wealthy and will never be able to integrate into the real circle of noble people.
.Let’s listen to the gossip of those noble ladies. It seems that many people are waiting for the opportunity to reveal the “noble daughter” of the prospective princess of Prince Yong’s mansion, revealing the true appearance of the market.
Sima Yan sneered secretly. She would not confront Xia Shuyao head-on, nor would she agree with others to "skin". She would even express her kindness in time to help Xia Shuyao smooth things over and deal with the embarrassing situation.
There are so many people ready to play. There are so many people waiting to act as her thug. Naturally, she is still the most graceful and kindest Princess Yan. As long as she gives those radical and jealous women at the right time, she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so angry that she is so arrogant that she is so angry that she is so arrogant that she is so angry that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she is so arrogant that she
It's enough to provide some opportunities.
Sima Yan suppressed her desire to see Shu Yao's desire to make a fool of herself again and again. She took a sip of tea gracefully and told herself: Don't worry, walk slowly and see.
She wanted Qi Hao, who had no eyes, to be ignorant of gold and jade, to regret it, to make him realize what he had lost and what kind of "treasure" he had chosen to be the exterior of gold and jade!
If... she and Qi Haoning may have a chance. She is Princess Yan, who is born with a noble daughter, and at any time, she will find a way out for herself. Because she is a noble daughter, from birth to death, she will not be underestimated for the rest of her life.
The noble girl, no matter who the people around her, can only be her help, not her obstacle. If she is smart enough, she will help him. If she is not smart enough, she must listen to her, otherwise...
People’s eyes cannot hide their worries, so people with guilty hearts will always lower their eyes or turn their eyes away as soon as possible.
Sima Yan's face was calm at this time, but her changing eyes betrayed her. Mother Hua sighed secretly again,
Her girl is smart, but unfortunately she is too stubborn about Miss Xia.
It's also strange that the girl and Miss Xia seem to be born enemies. The girl didn't like her the first time she saw Miss Xia. Miss Xia first snatched the girl's eight-treasure jade Ruyi hairpin, divided the Queen Mother's love, and got four more
The princess and Princess Yan were close to each other... Until the end, even Prince Ning, who the girl cares most, snatched away.
Alas, no wonder the girl couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Hua's mother's eyes fell on the red invitation on the high table beside Sima Yan. It was the birthday banquet post of Qi Yuexin, the eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion.
Generally speaking, the legitimate daughter is unwilling to be close to the concubine daughter of the Beppu, just like a wife who basically does not interact with the concubine, unless the other family and the status of the mansion are higher than that of their own.
Like Qi Yuexin, because of the special status of Prince Yong's Mansion, no matter how unwilling those who answered the posts would go over to sit for the sake of Prince Yong's Mansion. However, in recent years, it has been reported that Qi Haoning and Zhao Bang were both exposed.
After the rumors that the concubine and the mother and son were actually very alienated, the family background was stronger, especially the legitimate daughters in the royal family's mansions, who did not even give her any face.
Although the Duke of Anguo's Mansion cannot be compared with Prince Yong's Mansion, Sima Yan is a princess personally appointed by the emperor and has a higher status than Qi Yuexin, so she never went there before. First, she is concerned about Prince Yue's daughter, Princess Yue, and second,
The empress dowager didn't like Concubine Zhao, and she basically ignored Qi Yuexin's brothers.
A while ago, because they wanted to find out the situation and traces of Qi Haoning in the palace, and because of Ma Linger's help, Sima Yan and Qi Yuexin got closer.
In fact, it cannot be said that it is close. Sima Yan really doesn't like Qi Yuexin, who is not self-aware and smart. She just wants to use Qi Yuexin, so she acts a little more friendly, so she is immediately stuck by Qi Yuexin. Ma Linger also said that Qi Yuexin is really very
I admire and envy her talents and noble demeanor.
Mother Hua frowned: "Sister, Qi Yuexin's embarrassing character, just don't get into evil. There is no need to get close, just send someone a gift."
Sima Yan shook her head: "No, I've also sent her a post on the plum blossom banquet. Don't worry, mom, others will only see that Mrs. Yu is approaching her. I'm just giving Mrs. Yu a face."
Qi Yuexin's temperament is the best to use. She doesn't have to rush to get rid of this sticky and stupid guy. She is a pioneer of "skinning". Besides, Qi Yuexin, the eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion, is not an ordinary mansion after all.
The concubine's daughter in the house, although it is useless, it will not be too disgraceful.
Moreover, the one who approached Qi Yuexin was Ma Ling'er, who was just getting close to Ma Ling'er. She just greeted Ma Ling'er's friend. After all, Ma Ling'er is the second prince's cousin, and she is the second child.
The prince's concubine is also a serious relative.
Hua's mother thought, Sima Yan's words made sense, but she still couldn't understand why Ma Ling'er suddenly approached Qi Yuexin? Could it be that the Ma family wanted to use Qi Yuexin to deal with Prince Yong's mansion? So the purpose of the Ma family?...
Mother Hua didn't dare to think about it, it didn't matter if she fought for the crown prince. I hope the second prince and the Ma family would not do anything ruthless. In any case, she would keep a close eye on the girl. At the critical moment, it would be better to leave her husband's family than to die with her.
With the Queen Mother's favor, everything is easy to say, let alone this marriage was originally imposed on the girl by the Queen Mother. As long as the girl does not go astray, the Queen Mother will definitely not give up on the girl. In the future, she will only love the girl more and add to it.
Some guilt.
Mother Hua suddenly thought of a question: "Sister. Do you think Miss Xia will go to Qi Yuexin's birthday party?"
"It should be," Sima Yan frowned slightly.
Xia Shuyao just got engaged to Prince Ning. How could she put on a show? She would also be worried that Prince Yong and Prince Ning would not be happy? After all, they could not get close to Concubine Zhao and Qi Yuexin, but Xia Shuyao, a daughter-in-law who had not yet entered the door
I just look down on the eldest daughter of the royal palace, isn’t it just slap them in the face?
What's more, outsiders have guessed what the relationship between Concubine Zhao and his son is. In the early years, Sima Yan had seen and heard from him many times in the Cining Palace that Concubine Ning was very protective of Concubine Zhao and his wife.
Although I haven't seen him bring Qi Yuexin into the palace again in recent years, it may be because he has been in the south for a long time, right? Moreover, Qi Yueling doesn't like Qi Yuexin very much, and Prince Ning is likely not to want to be stuck in two.
To be continued...
