Wei Changjuan was scolded by Wei Changying and Princess Anji one after another, and then was told by her eldest sister Wei Changwan. She was very well-behaved at the banquet this time. She was not looking for trouble, and Wei Changying had no time to look for her. He asked some people first and found where Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan were. He found that they were having a lively discussion with Deng Wanwan, and there were several ladies of similar age sitting next to them. For example, Huo Qingling is also among them.
Wei Changying stood aside for a moment and saw that Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan had obviously been introduced by Deng Wanwan and had quickly become familiar with the ladies of the imperial capital. He might not need to take them with him anymore. If they go up to this meeting, they will be interrupted.
She thought for a while and then went to Mrs. Liu. When Mrs. Liu saw her coming, she nodded slightly and said, "I just thought you were coming too. Sit down quickly. I asked them to save a seat for you."
Yi Yan sat down on the empty seat next to her. Liu dismissed the previous speaker with a few words, then turned his head and asked her in a low voice: "What happened before?"
"Queen Run asked me to give medicine to Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin. After that, Her Highness said she would not care about me anymore." Wei Changying said, "Later I met two cousins from my eldest aunt's family in the flower hall. I just went there. Look where they are sitting."
She didn't want to say more at the table, so she omitted a large section in the middle. However, she didn't expect the news to be transmitted so quickly. After hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately asked: "Didn't you mean that you invited Wei Changjuan out, and then Wei Changjuan went alone?" Come back and leave you to Your Highness Princess Anji? This Your Highness..."
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Mrs. Liu was looking at him with a burning gaze. He couldn't help but look at his clothes, hair, and hairpin, as if he wanted to find traces of being taken care of by Princess Anji. She smiled unconsciously and said: "That's what happened, but I didn't say a few words. I was thinking about this side of the table and came back."
Mrs. Liu heard that she was evading the important point in her answer, so she smiled and said: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that Princess Anji beat Princess Qingxin for you today. This matter... I'm afraid you have to deal with it after you go back." Please refer to the details.”
Wei Changying said in surprise: "Where did my sister-in-law hear this rumor?"
"Isn't that so?" Mrs. Liu was startled.
Wei Changying thought about how fast this rumor spread, and said: "I have only met Her Royal Highness Princess Anji three times even this time. In the first two times, I didn't say a word except to say hello. Sister-in-law How can you say that Her Royal Highness Princess Anji is so good that she can fight for Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin for me?"
Mrs. Liu actually didn't believe it when she heard this before. If this was the Duanmu family, Mrs. Liu would still think that her younger siblings had deliberately concealed it from her. But it is absolutely true that Wei Changying was married from Fengzhou in early April this year, and Princess Anji is a little younger than Wei Changying. She is a fierce princess who the noble lady of the Manchu Empire watched grow up in the palace. How could two people meet two or three times and get together without even speaking to each other
At this moment, he nodded and said: "I think so too, but everyone at the table is talking about this secretly. I'm not saying anything else. Princess Qingxin is very happy with the emperor and the empress. I'm afraid that you, third brother, will call me for nothing. Drag it down."
Wei Changying explained to her: "It was Princess Qingxin who mentioned Mrs. Zhenyi at that time, and there was something in her words... Princess Anji was very angry. The two princesses had a few quarrels, and Princess Anji wanted to drag Princess Qingxin back to the palace to reason. , Unexpectedly, she used too much force and dragged Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin down. After Queen Run arrived, she asked me to follow her and apply medicine to Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin. After that, Her Royal Highness Princess told me not to care about it. "
Mrs. Liu snorted and said, "Mrs. Zhenyi? I understand. No wonder! Princess Anji has always served Mrs. Zhenyi with great filial piety. Everyone knows that they must not show any disrespect to Mrs. Zhenyi in front of her." Again. He said, "Princess Qingxin is young and her thoughts are actually very simple. This time she suddenly targets you, the third younger sister, and I think there may be some hidden agenda."
Wei Changying chuckled and said: "My sister-in-law didn't tell me this secret to save face for me, but who can't see it with eyes? Speaking of which, since I arrived in the imperial capital, except for the day I came back, I have not been there again. I have consulted my second aunt, so it’s no wonder that my two cousins have some objections to me.”
"What the third brother and sister are saying is that you are all close relatives, and you should keep in touch with each other frequently to avoid being instigated by outsiders and causing separation between your flesh and blood." Ms. Liu nodded and said.
Wei Changying said: "Sister-in-law is right, thank you for the tip."
There was no more words at the table, and it was time to disperse. Originally, Queen Run planned to leave the Chief of Guards Ying to express her gratitude privately, but Princess Qingxin and Princess Anji got involved and Princess Qingxin was injured. Everyone in Prince Run's palace sent Princess Chengxian out of the palace with almost forced smiles. Now that Manfu was thinking about how to explain to the imperial capital, it was too late, and Queen Run had no intention of winning over Wei Changying. She held her hand and said a few polite words, and politely invited Wei Changying to herself. Instead, Wei Changying bumped into Qingxin. The princess asked for trouble and explained.
This is why Queen Run paid careful attention to the Empress. Even though Princess Qingxin was forgetful and had been coaxed into talking and laughing, the knee injury could not be concealed. According to the Empress' love for this little daughter, she would definitely have to Ask the Prince Run's Mansion. But on Wei Changying's side, he originally wanted to follow his mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, to the Gu family's house for a wedding banquet, so that he wouldn't run into Princess Qingxin, so he wouldn't have such trouble today.
So if you only complain that Prince Run's Palace was implicated because you invited Wei Changying to come, maybe Wei Changying will also suspect that Prince Run's Palace, Princess Qingxin, and Wei Changjuan are colluding to plot against her!
Having already offended the empress, Queen Run did not want to offend the granddaughter of the family boss again, but she only let her go after making it clear to her.
Wei Changying will not blame Queen Run. Speaking of it, Queen Run is really unlucky today. If she wants to marry her daughter properly, because she invited Wei Changying, it is impossible for other relatives of the Wei family not to invite her. For example, the Wei Shengxian mother and daughter, and the Wei Shengyi family, ended up catching up with a master like Wei Changjuan. They only had a show at the Su Mansion, and they didn't stop at the Wang Mansion.
When saying goodbye, just looking at the forced smile of Queen Mother Run, I knew that Queen Run would definitely be blamed by her mother-in-law after the guests left.
After sighing and going out, Guard Chief Ying ordered Shen Ju: "You go to the market to buy a post first and submit it to my second uncle's house."
Shen Ju knew that this second uncle was Wei Shengyi. He ate with the coachman and separated from the guests. He didn't know what happened at the banquet, but he didn't ask any more questions and went directly to accept the order.
Back at Taifu's Mansion, Mrs. Su and her party had already arrived home first. They were drinking tea in the hall to relieve their hangover, chatting and laughing while waiting for the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law. Apparently, the trip to the Gu family went very smoothly.
Seeing Mrs. Liu and Wei Changying coming in with annoyed expressions on their faces, Mrs. Su was startled, put down her tea bowl, and asked, "Why is the wedding banquet at Prince Run's Mansion not going well today? Why don't you look so happy?" "
Wei Changying looked at Ms. Liu, who smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you what my mother is saying, the wedding banquet in Prince Run's Mansion was certainly a good one. The Queen specially invited us to come to the mansion, and the reception was gracious. The prince's wife greeted us before we left. The queen even apologized personally. "
Mrs. Su heard that something was wrong and said in surprise: "What kind of apology does the Queen want to make to you two juniors? What happened?"
"This..." Mrs. Liu looked at Wei Changying with an expression on her face that was hard to describe.
Wei Changying's eyes turned red and he said, "Mother, my sister-in-law is trying to save my face! But today I almost came back without shame!"
Mrs. Su was surprised and said, "Why did you say such things?" She asked her to speak carefully.
Wei Changying roughly told the story. He heard that it was Wei Changjuan who was causing trouble again - Mrs. Su was so angry that she slapped the case and said angrily: "Duanmu, what do you mean? Is my daughter-in-law of the Shen family easy to bully?!"
He scolded Wei Changying again, "In terms of age, you are the elder sister. In terms of whether you are married or not, you have already left the cabinet. Why can't you even suppress a cousin? You repeatedly call her out to embarrass yourself! Do you know that she is embarrassed?" Not only your face, but also the face of your Wei family? "
Chief Wei Ying choked up and said: "My wife knows that I have actually taught her a lesson in the palace today. I just thought that Princess Chengxian was going to leave the cabinet. After all, it was not easy to make a big fuss in the palace. When I came back just now, My daughter-in-law has asked Shen Ju to go to my uncle's house, and the day after tomorrow happens to be my holiday, so I will definitely come to tell my uncle and aunt about this!"
Mrs. Su snorted coldly: "This is your Wei family's business, so I won't say anything more. It's just that you are my Shen family's daughter-in-law now, and Wei Changjuan has been at odds with you time and time again. She has disgraced the Wei family's daughter. You are shameless, and our Shen family will be embarrassed! Our family has never suffered such a loss for nothing, do you know?"
"Don't worry, mother. Before my daughter-in-law came out of the palace, the elders in the family also taught me that I would not dare to insult the name of my ancestors." Wei Changying repeatedly promised, and then asked awkwardly whether he needed to go to the palace to plead guilty this time.
Speaking of which, Wei Changying himself felt that what he said before about "having no face to come back" was true. He had only been out of the cabinet for a few months, and he had to go to the palace to plead guilty twice. Now it might be the third time, and this apology was not done by herself. Either Mrs. Su or Wei Zhengyin, always had to be accompanied by the elders.
As a new daughter-in-law torturing her elders like this, Wei Changying really had to feel guilty.
When Mrs. Su was reminded, she also looked like she had a headache. She pondered for a long time before sighing: "I'll be out of the house tomorrow... I'll ask someone to deliver the watch later. If I make the watch longer, just say it's for deliberation." The wording delayed Chen Guang, so the palace door is closed, and it will have to be sent in tomorrow. If the palace approves it, it will have to be the day after tomorrow... "
He said, "If you still can't enter the palace in the future, you should first go to your second uncle's house and ask your second uncle and second aunt carefully about the behavior of your seventh cousin. If your second uncle and second aunt think that you are a junior and disdain to talk to you, Come back and tell me, I'll go over and tell them! Don't they want to live a good life and don't want our Shen family to have a stable life? Go again tomorrow.”
Guard Chief Ying is so obedient as he should be.
Returning to Jintong Courtyard, he summoned Mr. Huang. Before talking about the matter, he first ordered: "Take some of the healthy servants in my dowry and pick out some strong and strict-tongued women. Follow me to my second uncle the day after tomorrow." On the door!"
Mrs. Huang was startled and said, "Young madam, what's wrong?"
The captain of the guard, Ying Tie, raised his chin with a livid face, and Qin Ge said: "Auntie, don't you know that last time the eldest lady of the Su family came out of the cabinet, didn't the seventh lady in the family cause trouble for the young lady? At that time, everyone was thinking about the happy event. Fang Du asked her to expose it gently. But this time when the princess came out of the cabinet, she actually encouraged Princess Qingxin to find the young lady, saying that she would punish the young lady by kneeling in Prince Run's mansion for three days and three nights! It wasn't Princess Anji who spoke to the Young Madam to save her from the siege. Her Highness the Princess spoke personally. What should Auntie say the Young Madam should do? "
Huang said that when she was young, she was ordered by Mrs. Song to stay in the imperial capital. She was called to guard the house, but in fact she suppressed the Duanmu family. Although Mrs. Song was far away in Fengzhou for more than ten years, she had always done this job very well. A little bit very proud. For this reason, Mrs. Huang kept silent about her second wife, and felt a little contemptuous of her.
As a result, the people in this despised room tricked the guard chief Ying who she was serving with all her heart. Huang felt that her dignity was greatly challenged. She almost fainted when she heard this. She didn't care about her usual gentleness at the moment. He lost his calm image, his face turned red, and he cursed in front of Wei Changying: "You little bitch raised by the Duanmu family! How dare you insult our young lady like this?!"
Immediately he said, "Young Madam thinks too highly of the Second Fang. Why go to war with the Second Fang? There are just a few women in our yard. When Sister He comes back, we can go there together in the future."
Wei Changying knew that the Huang family had been fighting for power with Erfang for more than ten years, and he knew the details of Erfang very well. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "That's it." (To be continued)
