Chapter 468 What is it? Two chapters in one
Mrs. Luo's face turned red from holding it back, and she was still a little unable to react. Didn't Princess Fuxinggui personally embroider her forehead to please her grandmother?
With such a good step, how could she not take advantage of the situation, strike while the iron is hot, put up the airs of her elders in public, and preemptively set her identity as a grandmother and grandson's daughter-in-law when getting along with Shuyao, outside of etiquette? Otherwise, it wouldn't be every time.
You have to give a big salute when you see Shuyao? How can you control it? The momentum and rules must be established from the beginning.
And wasn't Qi Haoning not here at the moment? The boy looked so much like his father when he had a sullen face, which made her feel guilty and thought it would be better not to offend that brat less. If she didn't see that brat, she would naturally
If you see this girl, do something with her, or you won't see her. Who is she planning to do? How can she take advantage of her grandmother's identity? How can she help Xin'er enter the palace and become the crown prince's concubine?
Therefore, she naturally called her "Shu Yao". As long as Shu Yao agreed, she only took off a piece of jewelry from her body in a panic and gave it to Xin'er (in Mrs. Luo's opinion, Shu Yao had prepared a gift,
How can you not be embarrassed in front of so many people?), then things will be easier to handle in the future.
After today, when we meet again, all she has to do is call her "Shu Yao" or "Yao girl" as her grandmother, as she did today. How dare Shu Yao wait for her to give her a big gift?
Humph, she had never given that naughty girl a big gift before, and she never called her "Princess", she always called her "Second Girl".
It's a pity that the imagination is always too beautiful, but the reality is too cruel. Princess Fuxinggui, who looks gentle and noble, and has an aura somewhat similar to her evil daughter, is still drinking tea as if nothing has happened, while the mother beside her is coldly
It happened.
If Shuyao had an attack, she could still pretend to be aggrieved and confused to win the sympathy and understanding of the people present. But Mother Liu is the palace aunt! You know, the palace aunt has always been a model of rules and etiquette. That's why she
There are so many people vying for the nun who has left the palace to be the nurturing mother. Just over a quarter of an hour ago, this mother Liu was insinuating that she was a fifth-grade imperial concubine but didn't know the rules.
Concubine Zhao was about to help Mrs. Luo say something "fair" to smooth things over, but Mrs. Luo couldn't stand it under the scornful eyes of everyone, "County... Princess, I... I just think that Princess
The Lord is kind." She couldn't say that because we were a family, she was a grandmother? Of course she thought so, but it was impossible to say so in public.
Shuyao still smiled politely but distantly and said: "I, the princess, also think that the old lady is kind. Mother Liu is the most disciplined. Don't mind Mrs. Luo. By the way, you just said that this is Prince Ning's.
Who is my cousin? She’s really pretty, especially suitable for this pink color.”
Only then did everyone notice that Qin Kexin was wearing a bright pink jacket today, with two pink beaded flowers on her pretty double bun.
The petite and bright Qin Kexin is indeed suitable for bright pink, which highlights her delicate and charming charm. It is different from Shu Yao's noble and soft temperament set against the water red, but she also has her own flavor.
However, suddenly, someone who responded quickly muttered: "Isn't this cousin of the Luo family still in the period of filial piety? It seems that it has only been half a year."
The eyes of the people around him immediately became mocking. Girls during the period of mourning should not attend celebrations, banquets and other occasions. Since Qin Kexin has followed the Luo family to the capital, the Luo family held a banquet. In order to show their respect for the Luo family
With respect to the guests, it is not impossible for her to come out to entertain the guests.
.It is indeed not appropriate to wear all-silk. But in general, people will choose light blue, light cyan, light yellow and other pastel colors that are not eye-catching. Like Qin Kexin today, she is wearing pink that is obviously too eye-catching, and she also wears pink beads.
It's too much, it can even be said to be inappropriate.
Qin Kexin was very proud when she heard Shuyao praising her. She always knows what color is suitable for her and how to wear it most beautifully. In fact, the color that best matches her appearance is cherry red, but she is still in her filial piety period and cannot use such bright and strong colors.
So I chose pink. Although this pink is a bit bright, it is still pink, right?
However, when the sarcastic "questions" and sneering eyes hit her, she was at a loss, as if she had been stripped naked in front of everyone. She didn't want to continue standing there, nor did she leave to change clothes. It was so embarrassing!
Mrs. Luo was also confused. She knew that Qin Kexin's outfit today was indeed inappropriate (Mrs. Luo San also pointed it out tactfully), but how could she attract Qi Haoning's attention by wearing such plain clothes? How could she let everyone know how outstanding her granddaughter is? This
These two points are the main purpose of her holding this chrysanthemum banquet today besides taking care of Shuyao.
Even Concubine Zhao couldn't help but tremble: It was intentional, it was definitely intentional. Xia Shuyao's move was so cruel!
It's none of my business, let's hang it up. After all, Qin Kexin is just a little girl who hasn't had hair extensions, and she's just a cousin from the Luo family who just came from a small place. Although the color she wore today is indeed too bright, she knows that she is paying filial piety.
People who look forward to it will turn a blind eye for the sake of the Luo family, and people who don't know will not even notice.
But after being reminded by Shu Yao, people who didn't know noticed it, and those who knew naturally couldn't "close their eyes" anymore, lest they themselves would be regarded as rude.
Furthermore, as soon as word like this spreads out, people's impression of Qin Kexin will be bad. If the first impression is bad, if anything happens or disputes arise in the future, people will associate bad things with her first.
A quick, accurate, and ruthless move! But it was such a sweet smile and a soft and friendly compliment. Looking at Shuyao's pure, clear, warm and harmless smile, Concubine Zhao had a hard time trying to convince herself that this was just a person.
coincide.
She had a hunch that Qin Kexin's "double weapon" against Qi Haoning and Xia Shuyao by using Madam Luo and Qin Kexin might fail again.
She couldn't control her even if she wanted to, and she couldn't be assassinated. God destined her, Zhao Qianlan, to work in vain for half her life. Will the three of them, mother and son, have nothing in the end? Qi Haoxiang is about to turn seventeen, and will definitely get married in four or five years at most. Is she really so obedient?
Should we move out of the palace according to family rules?
Back then, she had been leading Qi Haoning astray, hoping to raise him to be a good-for-nothing with neither civility nor martial arts. However, an assassination failed and Qi Haoning alienated her. She suddenly seemed to be a different person. Not only was she taken over by Ouyang Island Master,
He became a closed disciple and became the top scholar in martial arts. He also repeatedly
He made extraordinary achievements and became a young general who was valued by the emperor and admired by everyone. And Qi Haoxiang, whom she carefully cultivated, has been increasingly out of her control since he was left out by Qi Haoning and received a cold reception outside.
He's a dandy who knows how to fight with crickets and favor actors.
No matter how reluctant Concubine Zhao is to admit it, she is well aware of her son's insecurities. If Qi Haoxiang is like this now, without the aura and protection of the palace, what good future can he have? What kind of good marriage can he talk about? Don't say it.
Compared with Qi Haoning, even compared with Qi Haoming, I'm afraid it's a lot worse.
Thinking of Qi Haoming, Concubine Zhao thought of the recent bad things and Prince Yong's ruthlessness and neglect of her, and she became even more depressed.
Qi Haoming is twenty-one this year, a few months older than Qi Haoning. Not long ago, Prince Yong sent him a letter to arrange a marriage for him, specifying that they will get married in May next year. This is obviously to make way for Qi Haoning (if the eldest brother is not married, the second child will go first)
The principle of wedding). But the other party is really good. She is the concubine of the An Ning family. I heard that her appearance, character, and talents are all outstanding.
A few days after the engagement, the Ministry of Industry also sent a job to Qi Haoming, who only had the title of civil servant. It must have been arranged by the prince. The second master of the Anning House (the brother of Qi Haoming's fiancée) also served in the Ministry of Industry before, and recently
I was preparing to take a new job. I happened to have some free time, so I came over to give Qi Haoming some advice.
Concubine Zhao had always disliked Concubine Tian, so how could she not cause problems for them and their son regarding Qi Haoming's marriage. In recent years, she had also deliberately not reminded the prince of Qi Haoming's marriage, thinking that she would just make things worse for him when the time came.
.I didn’t expect that the prince would take it personally, or maybe it was Qi Haoning, the butler and the others who reminded him?
Forget it, after all, Qi Haoming is also the son of the prince, and he is still the eldest among the three brothers. In the future, the prince will be equally concerned about Qi Haoxiang's future and marriage.
How will you scold)?
What angered Concubine Zhao the most was that she originally wanted to use the two marriages between Qi Haoming and Qi Haoning to demonstrate her status in the palace and her "mistress" style, and also take the opportunity to make a fortune. But she didn't expect it.
Prince Yong clearly stated in the letter
Qi Haoming's marriage was arranged by Concubine Tian herself, assisted by her and the housekeeper Gui Bo. Qi Haoning's wedding was not something any of them had to worry about. The Queen Mother would then appoint two princesses in the capital to accompany Princess Zhangzhu.
Responsible for taking care of it.
Who is Zhao Qianlan in the eyes of Prince Yong and the Queen Mother? What on earth is she, just a housekeeper who does odd jobs for them? She always thought that she was also the concubine in charge of the middle court, the de facto mistress of the palace (but she did not have the official title)
(only the title of concubine), but in the end she was not even qualified to arrange the marriage of a concubine (the Queen Mother would personally take charge of Qi Haoning's wedding, the arrangement was not too unexpected for her, and she did not dare to say anything).
People like Concubine Zhao are too self-centered in their thinking. What she didn't think about was that she and Concubine Tian were both concubines of Prince Yong, with the same rank and status. Concubine Tian even entered the palace earlier than she did.
My natal family is also better than
Her natal family is much stronger (otherwise she has been in charge of the middle school all these years, and Concubine Tian and her son have been suppressed and exploited by her?). She is not a serious aunt and the mistress of the house, so why should she be allowed to take charge of Qi Haoming's family?
Marriage?
No, Concubine Zhao clenched her fist fiercely. She would not admit defeat. She had been calculating for more than 20 years, how could she give up now? She must strive for the best for her Xiang'er. Even if she cannot be the heir, she cannot
If she moves out of the palace, she has to let that bitch Qi Haoning support him and his children and grandchildren. She has been oppressed by that bitch cousin all her life, and she can't get over it even after the bitch dies. How can she let that bitch oppress her again?
Holding her son for the rest of his life?
What Concubine Zhao didn't know was that she was wandering thousands of miles at this moment, and Mrs. Luo, who was blinking her eyes to seek advice from her, began to be very dissatisfied with her. The two aunts and nephews who had been close for decades and were kind and filial finally began to have a relationship.
Overcame the estrangement.
Mrs. Luo was really angry. The idea was all Zhao Qianlan's. It was Zhao Qianlan who encouraged her to take Qin Kexin back to Beijing and to take control of Princess Fuxinggui. But at the critical moment, no matter how many times she asked for help, there was no response. What was going on?
?
Mrs. Luo San sighed and quietly called a confidant to explain a few words secretly. Then she walked towards Shuyao and said with a smile: "Princess, the Juyuan side is ready, shall we go over?"
Scholars prefer plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. Mr. Luo San and Mrs. Luo San both like chrysanthemums. It is said that the garden of Luo Mansion is not big, but it is exquisite. Another feature is that it is "specific". All the flowers in the garden are chrysanthemums.
, precious, ordinary, and even wild chrysanthemums on the grass, almost all the varieties of chrysanthemums that can be found in Da Zhou can be found in Luofu Garden.
Shuyao knew that Mrs. Luo San was here to help Mrs. Luo and Qin Kexin, so she agreed with a smile, and immediately stood up and led a group of female guests to the Juyuan. Mrs. Luo still had to give her face.
We can't let Luo Mansion be dragged down by the old and the young, so it's too ugly, right?
Shuyao deliberately played tricks on Qin Kexin just now, just to warn her and Mrs. Luo. Who made them think of plotting against Qi Haoning?
According to the news obtained by Mama Liu, Qin Kexin's mother, the eldest sister of the late princess, was not a good person either. She had bullied the late princess since she was a child, and even almost disfigured the late princess because she was jealous that her younger sister was better looking than her.
until later
Later, my sister became Princess Yongzin. Her husband hoped to be promoted to brother-in-law, so he scolded her, and she began to regret it. Unfortunately, the former princess had given up on her sister and had no feelings for her, so she could only rely on her mother.
There are benefits to mixing it up a bit.
Such a person, even after death, still begged her mother to send her daughter to Prince Yong's Mansion, thinking that her daughter could control the prince's nephew and seek benefits for the Qin family. Who are these people?
Shuyao snorted contemptuously, how could she let these people succeed?
Although Shuyao has unknowingly taken Qi Haoning into her heart and is looking forward to a happy marriage in this life, with a husband who will take every case as an example, and several lovely children. But she still does not expect Qi Haoning not to marry his concubine or Naji.
Concubine, just like her elder brother Shujie, he only has one woman, his sister-in-law, and not even a maid in the same room.
That is unrealistic. Even if she really asked, Qi Haoning agreed. The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Prince Yong would not allow it. Ordinary aristocratic families, wealthy people would not accept it, not to mention that Qi Haoning is from the royal family and is the future
Prince Yong?
However, even so, even if she can accept Qi Haoning's concubines, wives, concubines, etc., she will not let people with dirty intentions bring everyone in, especially if they have bad intentions from the beginning and have evil intentions.
