The sound of firecrackers rang weakly.
According to the rules, before the sound of firecrackers stops, the newcomer should have already started, but they are extravagant and eager like a royal family. Without prior preparation, they have already lit all the firecrackers prepared, and there is nothing left to continue.
I heard that the eldest prince got married, and in order to get the happy money, many passers-by had long surrounded the door. Naturally, this incident was not missed. I have seen the bridegroom not appearing on the day of the wedding, but I have never seen it sitting in a sedan chair. The bride who came down, especially the man who was a prince, attracted more and more people to watch.
The stalemate continued, and there were whispers inside and outside the house, all waiting for the First Prince to appear, or what to do next.
"You haven't found your elder brother yet?" King Wei asked with a frown.
At this time, Mangui had long been a bag, but he hesitated and hesitated to speak.
"In front of our brothers, what else can you not say? You are the one who found it, and if you don't explain the matter clearly, then we don't care about it. You can figure it out yourself." King Wu said Holding a folding fan and shaking it, his face was full of leisure and calm, and he spoke casually.
The other masters almost meant the same thing, seeing that Man Gui could no longer hide it, he knelt down with a plop.
"Your highnesses, the slaves really can't do anything about it. His highness is in the mansion, and he was found, but he, he can't wake up when he's drunk."
…
On the other side, in Fanglan Courtyard.
The little eunuch sent by Mangui to look for the eldest prince was blocked from the door, no matter how much he begged, the door inside would not be opened. Unlike the excitement ahead, the silence here is terrifying.
Of course, it was not only the young eunuchs who were ordered to call for help, but also the other servants serving in the yard who were frightened. Since they came, on the surface there was no one in the yard, but in fact they were all hiding in the dark and whispering, saying that this Concubine Li is so bold that she is about to take over the sky.
But it's useless to say anything, now that the First Prince is lying on someone else's bed, and Li Shiqiu also helped to wake him up, so this matter is hanging in the air.
"Hurry up and leave, I tell you that His Highness is drunk, why are you still pestering me here?"
"But there's still waiting ahead..." The little eunuch who called people was in mourning, like a dead mother.
"Then just wait."
The charming female voice floated out lightly, and there was no response after that.
Seeing this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Let's go back and report back first, I can't do anything about it!" said one of the little eunuchs.
"Let's go, it doesn't matter to us if there is a big trouble anyway."
Just as the few people were about to leave, a woman in red dress rushed in from the courtyard door. She was dressed in an extremely strange way, and her speed was extremely fast. She came to them in the blink of an eye.
"The eldest prince is inside?"
The little eunuch Shengzi subconsciously nodded, and then there was a loud noise, and the door was kicked open.
Yes, it was kicked open, just now when he was blocked outside, Shengzi gave birth to the door he wanted to kick open countless times, and was kicked open by a woman just like that.
Afterwards, it became a mess, and Princess Wu and others who came later stood outside and listened to the screams and cries of pain inside.
Almost before they could react, something was thrown out of the room.
When I looked again, I found that she was actually a charming and graceful woman.
At this time, she still had a charming appearance, screaming like a pig, probably because she was thrown hard, and she didn't get up from the ground for a long time.
"Hurry up, don't hurry up and block it." Wu Wangfei said.
"Who are you, where did you come from, you shrew, come quickly!" The eldest prince shouted angrily from inside the room.
Mangui rushed in with his people, but it seemed to have no effect. The shouts, roars, and cries of pain continued for a long time, and finally the world was silent.
After a while, Mrs. Sun came out from the inside. She was dressed in red, and she was charming, yet heroic.
"Hang her up for me, just hang her there," she pointed to the pomegranate tree in the yard, ordering naturally. Seeing that no one moved, she raised her long and heroic eyebrows: "What? Can't you be manipulated?"
One moved, and then all moved.
Three times, five times, and two times, the 'killing pig call' was tied up as a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and hung on the thickest branch.
"It's none of my business, it's really none of my business, it's all Ma Liangdi, no, Concubine Ma ordered me to do this..."
Sun ignored this person and went to the front yard.
At this time, all the guests in the front yard fell into chaos. The strange scene that had not been staged in Beijing for many years was staged in front of everyone today.
The groom had never seen the groom in person at the wedding, but he had never seen the bride who could not get off the sedan chair. In the end, the bride lifted her hijab herself, got off the sedan chair and rushed into the prince's mansion with a menacing appearance, as if this matter would not happen. Well, it's a pity that because I couldn't follow, only the sisters-in-law of Princess Wu followed to see a big show.
Therefore, when Mrs. Sun reappeared, everyone became numb, and no one would be surprised what happened.
"Today, there was a joke in the First Prince's Mansion, which made everyone laugh. The First Prince and I are bestowed by the Holy Majesty. The wedding is just a formality. At this time, the ceremony is over. You can go to drink and have a banquet by yourself. Please forgive me for the location," Sun said, pointing to Mangui who followed, "You, hurry up and invite the guests to the banquet."
Man Gui was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was talking to himself, and hurried forward to greet him.
Although I don't know what happened, but it is obvious that the eldest prince is wrong. As the bride, the eldest prince concubine can do this. Some people feel that she is arrogant and disrespectful, and it is hard to say much because it hinders the situation. It is appreciation.
Among them is Feng Sheng.
She took the initiative to say to Concubine Wu and the others: "Let's go to the back. Those female guests still need to greet us. Since the queen mother has assigned this matter to us, it is better to be as thorough as possible. As for you, sister-in-law, you should go back to the new house quickly. Today is the You and your eldest brother have a good time, and you should never be allowed to show up."
Mrs. Sun glanced at her, nodded, and asked someone to lead her to the back.
He helped usher all the female guests into the banquet, and beat the servants who were in a state of confusion. After everything was on the right track, Feng Sheng, Wu Wangfei and others entered the table.
"Brother is really ridiculous. If it were me, I'm afraid I'd be ashamed to see people today."
"What can I do if I don't have the face to meet people? When things come to an end, I can't back down. I look at this new sister-in-law with a pungent temper."
"I'm afraid this is not an easy matter today. On the big day, my elder brother was drunk in my concubine's room, and this concubine still blocked people from entering the door. Do you think it was really the side concubine who did it?"
Concubine Wu and the others were discussing that in fact, women gossip all the time, but they just have to cover up something in front of others. It's no wonder that they can't help but want to say a few words when such a shocking thing happened today.
"I'm afraid you don't have to wait until we leave, everyone in the capital knows about it." Qin Wangfei smiled, as if gloating.
"Let me say that these little sluts just like bad things. For the sake of internal fighting, they don't even want the face of the house." Princess Xiang spat.
Seeing the way she gritted her teeth when she talked about 'little bitch', she knew that she had suffered from these people. Feng Sheng once heard that Princess Liang said that Prince Xiang's mansion is not clean.
Concubine Zhao said: "This kind of method is insidious. Most people don't have the guts of a new sister-in-law. When encountering such a thing, there is no other way except to knock out teeth and swallow blood. Those few have been operating in this mansion for a long time and have their own power. The mistress was swept away before entering the door, how will she establish her dignity in front of others in the future? Once she loses power, she will never be able to stand up for the rest of her life, but after today's incident, the result is hard to say."
"Okay, okay, anyway, it has nothing to do with us."
Concubine Wu and the others were discussing over there, while Concubine Liang said to Feng Sheng in a low voice: "I always feel that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the few in my house are difficult enough. There is something like this in the elder brother's mansion."
Feng Sheng smiled, not knowing what to answer.
In fact, among these princes, probably only Wei Wang's mansion is the cleanest, there are no concubines and common rooms, and none of the other mansions are clean. Even King Liang, there are still a few concubines in the mansion, as far as Feng Sheng knows, they are not very clean, otherwise Princess Liang would not be disregarding her body, not long after giving birth to her daughter, she is more anxious than her , probably because she was anxious to give birth to the eldest son.
"She's smart. After what happened before, no one will punish her even if it's her fault."
"It's just a helpless move, it's really what you said, it's a pity." Feng Sheng sighed.
After all, she is the elder sister-in-law, maybe Empress Chen values it very much, or maybe she wants to confirm the majesty of the eldest son in front of everyone, Empress Chen ordered people to pass the message to the various houses in advance, so the next day Feng Sheng and others were in the Kunning Palace. , saw Sun again.
Mrs. Sun's expression was calm, her complexion was very good, and there was no haggard look on her face, as if she didn't take what happened yesterday to her heart. He is also very well-bred, anyway, there is absolutely no fault in the etiquette, and it suddenly makes people think that the Hedong lion seen yesterday is just an illusion.
Empress Chen also knew that there was a joke yesterday, but she didn't seem to blame the First Prince's Concubine, instead she hated Concubine Ma very much, and ordered Fu Chun to visit the First Prince's Mansion on the spot.
"Queen Mother, I'm afraid this is not good. After all, Mrs. Ma has children." Princess Wu hesitated for a while, and persuaded.
"Birth? There are many people who reproduce for the royal family, but none of them are as bold as her. Marriage is bestowed by His Majesty, what is she trying to do with Madam Ma? On the surface, she wants to slap Sun Madam in the face, but in fact You are hitting me and your father in the face!"
Empress Chen's face was full of hostility, and Princess Wu suddenly dared not speak.
Feng Sheng still didn't understand the meaning of these words, what Empress Chen said next made her tremble.
"Ma Shi's three children, you will take care of them from now on. This villain's mother will come later. I just hope that you will take care of the affairs of the house in the future. If there are any uninterested ones, you can just report to me."
This was said to Mrs. Sun, who bowed her head and replied, "Yes."
"Okay, you all go away, Mrs. Sun stays."
A group of people filed out, Feng Sheng and Concubine Liang fell behind.
One is not walking fast, the other is thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about?" After leaving the gate of Kunning Palace, Princess Liang asked in a low voice.
"Fuchun is going to—"
Concubine Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sister-in-law San, you don't know what Fuchun is doing, do you? I forgot, sister-in-law San is not from a family like ours, so it's not surprising that she doesn't understand." Pulling to the side, he said in a low voice: "Fuchun has gone, then the Ma family has only three choices, poison wine, white silk, and dagger."
"You mean—give death?"
Concubine Liang nodded, "Which mansion is this matter placed in, Mrs. Ma will not end well this time, but a sudden death. But I didn't expect the queen mother to be so ruthless this time, that she bestowed on Mrs. Ma to death. There are two sons and a daughter under her knees."
This Feng Sheng knows a little bit, it seems that Empress Chen also knows about the eldest prince's backyard, which has reached the point where it has to be rectified. They dared to act like this when the Holy Majesty bestowed marriage on them. On the surface they said it was Concubine Ma, but in fact Feng Sheng guessed that there might be someone else.
After all, a person who survived in the East Palace and gave birth to three children, how could he be a fool, just so blatantly instructing people to trip up the new mistress. But what happened yesterday, Concubine Ma could not be allowed to argue, the key is that no one listened, and today Empress Chen ordered her to die, as if Empress Chen didn't want to ask even if she knew there might be something wrong in her heart.
This is to warn the monkeys, firstly to warn the women in the eldest prince's back house, and secondly to establish the prestige of Mrs. Sun.
In fact, Feng Sheng was thinking, if Empress Chen had made such a decision long ago, maybe the eldest prince's back house would not be in such a mess. Unfortunately, there are many things that are wrong, if not being forced to a desperate situation, how could Empress Chen give up her long-running business? appearance.
"Just poor kid."
"Third sister-in-law is kind-hearted. In fact, since Mrs. Ma dared to do this, she should have the consciousness to expose the matter."
Seeing that Princess Liang spoke very calmly and plainly, she changed from her usual shyness, Feng Sheng sighed a little, after all, it was because of their different backgrounds, and the methods they were accustomed to made her feel somewhat choked.
Seeing Princess Liang's expression change slightly, Feng Sheng followed her gaze and saw Mrs. Sun walking towards this side.
Mrs. Sun did not avoid them, but walked directly in front of them.
"Thank you yesterday."
Feng Sheng smiled, and said: "Thank you, it's just a matter of duty, there is no mistress in charge of the eldest brother's house, so the queen mother ordered us to help look after it."
Sun didn't say any more, nodded and walked away, leaving Princess Liang and Feng Sheng looking at her back.
"This person has a refreshing personality, just..."
It's just that life is not very good, it's a pity.
