When Feng Sheng took Zhi Qiu and followed the maid to go there, he ran into Princess Liang on the way, and it seemed that she was also invited to go there.
"Nine siblings."
"Sister-in-law Three Emperors."
After saluting each other, the two walked forward together, and when they were about to reach the Plum Appreciation Pavilion, Princess Liang gave Feng Sheng a tug.
Feng Sheng stopped and looked at her.
"Sister-in-law Sanhuang, this is probably the first time you've seen the eldest sister-in-law, right? After you go, if she says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart."
Feng Sheng blinked suspiciously.
Princess Liang smiled embarrassedly: "I was almost told to cry by her last time, I'm afraid you will be..."
This is kindness, Feng Sheng can still tell.
Looking at Concubine Liang's young face, Feng Sheng smiled and said: "Thank you, the big deal is not to listen."
But obviously the eldest concubine was a bit unexpected, Feng Sheng didn't expect that she would use this method to make people say 'cry'.
…
Mrs. Song had a melon-shaped face and red phoenix eyes. She wore a half-worn jade-white camel hair jacket and a thick satin skirt embroidered with lilies in maroon color. The piping on the jacket was all hairy. She didn't wear any jewelry.
She was sitting at the top drinking tea, and Feng Sheng saw her the first time she walked in.
It is a great joy for Zhao Wang's family to add a son. This kind of occasion should be well-dressed. Not to mention bright and beautiful, at least a little bit of celebration is needed. I have never seen a restaurant in the past that dresses so plainly. People who don't know think that There is a mourning at home. Seeing that Zhao Wangfei's smile was a little stiff, Feng Sheng probably felt uncomfortable, but it's hard to say because of feelings.
"I've seen the eldest sister-in-law." Feng Sheng and Princess Liang took off their cloaks under the service of the maids, and went to salute in front of Mrs. Song. The ordinary blessing ceremony will neither make people feel rude nor excessive. grid.
Song put down the teacup, her eyes fell on the two of them, and it was on Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng thought of her identity and her own identity. In this situation, the two of them are doomed to shake hands and make peace. I just hope that the other party will stay rational and don't do anything irrational. After all, she doesn't want to embarrass herself in person.
"Let's get up, two younger siblings. Both of you are new wives. I'm not in good health, and I seldom walk outside, especially the third younger sibling. Is this the first time we've met?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Song smiled faintly, and picked up the teacup again, looking lonely and unhappy.
"After all, it's not like before. In the past, the younger brothers got married, and it's the first day of their wedding. Why do you want to meet me and your elder brother? It's a pity."
It's a pity that I didn't say it later, but the tone of the words made people feel uncomfortable.
When interacting with their identities, no matter what their insides are, they have to face it. Song's words obviously mean something, and they are obviously aimed at Feng Sheng.
Princess Liang glanced at Feng Sheng, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it on the face.
Feng Sheng smiled: "Sister-in-law has a sentimental temperament, but today is a great joy in the family of the fourth sibling, so let's not get cold and sad, and avoid spoiling the joy of the fourth sibling's family, let's see what else we can do." ?”
"What the third sister-in-law said is that the banquet will have to wait a little longer. The earth dragon is burned in this pavilion to keep warm. I remember that my sister-in-law likes to play horse cranes. Why don't we play a game, maybe I haven't played for a long time." Princess Zhao said from the middle Smooth things over.
"Dilong, the fourth sibling is really extravagant, our eldest prince's mansion can't even afford to burn charcoal." Song's yin and yang said strangely.
Concubine Zhao smiled and said: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, if the majestic prince's mansion is short of charcoal, no one in this world can afford it."
"That's right, those slaves in the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw people ordering food. Your elder brother is now locked up, the disciples are gone, the filial piety of the subordinates is missing, and the title has also been taken away by the father. So a big family, every day. Sitting and eating mountains and nothing, life is almost too much to live on, where can I still afford charcoal."
The people below looked at each other and lowered their heads. Concubine Zhao couldn't get off the stage, and her smile became dry.
Concubine Wu rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Look at what sister-in-law said, it's better to let us as younger brothers and sisters live. The father is only angry for a while now, how can we keep being angry with elder brother, but what sister-in-law said is true. It’s a problem that the whole family can’t wait to procrastinate. How about this, we brothers and sisters can’t help with anything else, but we can still help with a hundred or ten catties of charcoal, what do you think about it?”
"What the second sister-in-law said is that there is nothing else to help, but some charcoal fires can still help. When I go back, I will send two hundred catties of charcoal to my sister-in-law's house." Princess Zhao said.
Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhao both said it, and the others naturally nodded.
Feng Sheng looked at it coldly, it was only natural for the Song family to suffer, at this moment she could finally understand why Princess Liang was told to cry by the Song family. As far as the Song family is concerned, anyone with a slightly thinner skin can't stand it.
Could it be that life in the First Prince's Mansion is really so sad
Feng Sheng remembered that a while ago, someone said that the people in the First Prince's Mansion took the things in the mansion and went out to sell them. This story was widely spread, and she didn't know if it was true or not. Don't talk nonsense, looking at this today, it seems that they really can't go on.
She had never been in contact with the Song family before, so she didn't know what she was like in the past, but she was born in Ge's hometown, and she had been a princess for so many years, and Feng Sheng was surprised to make such a petty behavior.
Princess Zhao gave an order, and the maids went to set up the table.
Four people are needed to play the horse-sling, and these people obviously exceeded it. Feng Sheng tactfully stood aside, and so did Princess Liang.
"It's better to support two rounds."
Concubine Liang said: "Sister-in-law Si, don't be too polite, I don't know how to play, I just think you are fine."
Concubine Cheng has a quiet and introverted temperament, she has been sitting on the sidelines without speaking, it seems that she will definitely not join in the fun, and there are not enough people in the two rounds.
"Okay, let's not have two rounds, we just play with my sister-in-law, and let her relax." Wu Wangfei said.
After she made such decisions, Feng Sheng also had to play with her. She said no, Concubine Wu looked at her with a smile, winked at her, and said that if she can't play, she will lose.
Mrs. Song, Concubine Wu, Concubine Wu, Concubine Feng Sheng and Concubine Zhao, exactly four people, went to the table and sat down, while the others sat beside them and continued to drink tea and watch the battle by the way.
Feng Sheng actually knew how to play the horse crane. She was smart and could learn everything quickly. When she was a child, she watched those aunts play a few times, and then she learned it. It was the only time she really got started.
Concubine Zhao was very considerate in her work, each person had a small box of melon seeds next to them, besides melon and fruit snacks, each person also had a small box of golden melon seeds. Feng Sheng was thinking about playing horses, but she didn't bring any money with her, so she knew that Qiu was carrying a few purses for rewarding people, so she should pay them with jewelry, or ask someone to ask the king of Wei for it. I don't know if he has any money.
While muttering in her heart, the servant girl brought the golden melon seeds and put them beside her hand.
It is obvious that knowing how to hit a horse is completely different from knowing how to hit a horse. Feng Sheng also doesn't know how to settle accounts. Fortunately, there is a maid next to her to help her settle accounts. She saw that more than half of the box of golden melon seeds went down very quickly.
Just looking at this battle, the rest can't last long, it seems that she really needs to go to Wei Wang for support.
"Ninth brother and sister, help me play a few games, I'll go clean the room." Feng Sheng said to Liang Wangfei who was sitting next to her and watching her play.
Princess Liang said: "Sister-in-law three, I don't know how to play, this..."
Feng Sheng stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, just don't know how to play and lose."
Concubine Wu chuckled, and said: "Today, the third younger siblings are not lucky, and this is quite resentful, but it's not that they lost to others, didn't they lose to our sister-in-law?"
"Look at what the second sister-in-law said, I'm not comforting the nine younger siblings, the sisters-in-law are playing together, winning or losing is a trivial matter, and it's just for fun." Having said this, Feng Sheng stopped quickly. Because she found that if she continued to talk, she would show her face of "negotiating business" with people, which was not in line with her status as a girl in her boudoir.
She nodded to Princess Liang, and led Zhiqiu to the clean room under the leadership of the maid.
After she got out, Zhiqiu went to the front yard to look for King Wei, and she went back to play the horse hanging.
…
It can be seen that Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhao have a tacit understanding, one of them is in the Song family, and the other is in hers.
The two of them seldom played cards. Song Shi had a lot of fun playing cards under Princess Wu, but she almost couldn't get any cards from Princess Zhao. It was obvious that the two of them were playing the run-on card, trying to get her to give money to Song.
Fortunately, Feng Sheng is not a woman with shallow eyesight, and she didn't blink her eyes when she lit the cannon. Zhiqiu went out for a trip and came back with two purses, one full of gold and silver ingots, and the other filled with gold and silver ingots. Packed like silver bills.
Feng Sheng browsed casually, guessing that it would be difficult to win her without any money left.
After playing like this for more than ten rounds, a servant girl came to ask for a banquet.
Naturally, Ma Diao couldn't go on fighting anymore. The Song family had a big harvest, and she seemed to be in a good mood with a smile on her face. She didn't forget to run a few words to Feng Sheng, saying that she was the one who let her go.
"Sister-in-law is being polite, they are all from my own family."
When it came to the banquet, these sisters-in-law sat at the same table. Needless to say, the dishes were rich, and there was also wine on the table.
And her newcomer seems to be the target of public criticism, the toasts are all directed at her, and you will naturally drink when others toast you, Feng Sheng guesses that these people want her to get drunk and make a fool of herself, but it's a pity that she can still be regarded as a thousand cups without getting drunk , although I haven't drank it for a long time, but the foundation is there.
Only Concubine Liang was a little sympathetic to her, it was hard to say on the surface, but she did not pull her less in private.
Feng Sheng actually knew what she meant, but it would be disrespectful to hide in this situation, besides, it might be possible to drink someone down. But everyone restrained themselves, thinking that it was almost the same, so they all stopped. In the end, Feng Sheng was not drunk, but his face was a little red.
After dinner, the men hadn't parted yet, Feng Sheng excused being drunk, and found a place for Zhi Qiu to watch over her, and she took a nap.
Not long after falling asleep, someone came to report to His Royal Highness King Wei to invite Princess Wei to come over.
When they arrived at Yimen, the carriage from Prince Wei's Mansion drove over.
Feng Sheng got into the carriage, and after a while, King Wei also got into the carriage.
"Have you been drinking?"
King Wei sat down beside her and reached out to touch her forehead.
"It's okay, with their drinking capacity, I won't get drunk." But Feng Sheng didn't resist him pulling her, leaning in his arms, talking to him about Song Shi again and again.
"My sister-in-law was not like this before. Ever since the Song family collapsed, she has not been in a good spirit. She has had trouble twice, but she is a woman, and no one cares about her."
King Wei spoke very cryptically, but Feng Sheng could almost understand what he meant.
Emperor Jianping's confinement of the former prince was not so much a confinement as protection.
Except for the Crown Prince, no one is prohibited from entering and leaving the First Prince's Mansion. This other person, of course, refers to the Song family. In fact, it stands to reason that the eldest prince and his wife are in an embarrassing situation, and the most important thing to do is to stay behind closed doors. But the Song family went the other way, she didn't come out frequently, most of the time she came out only when there was something to do in the palace or the residence of several princes.
Just like today, her appearance was a kind of embarrassment. After the crown prince was abolished, the Song family collapsed directly, and the life of the Chen family and even Empress Chen was difficult. No title means no salary. According to the general rules, the Ministry of Internal Affairs always needs some subsidies, but the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the most likely to see people order dishes, and even that little subsidy is not enough for a family like the First Prince's Mansion.
At first glance, it seems that Mrs. Song is smashing the jar today, but in fact, she is just complaining for herself and the eldest prince, telling Emperor Jianping how miserable she and the eldest prince are living, so miserable that they have come to blackmail brothers and sisters-in-law .
This kind of method is very rude and disgusting, but she is a woman with long hair and short knowledge, you can't argue with her, but she makes everyone feel uncomfortable. Feng Sheng didn't know whether Emperor Jianping felt uncomfortable, but she knew that the purpose of the eldest prince and his wife was to make him feel uncomfortable.
"It doesn't look like his handwriting. I reckon it's still the queen mother." The purpose is to win the sympathy of Emperor Jianping. As long as he sympathizes, the eldest prince may still recover.
"Wu Wangfei proposed that each family send two hundred catties of charcoal to the First Prince's Mansion, and I agreed." Feng Sheng said.
"After you go back, tell Dequan to do it."
"I also lost a lot of silver to the eldest sister-in-law, not counting how much I lost. The silver ticket has not been moved, and the bag of gold is gone. I will return it to you when I go back."
Before the words finished, Wei Wang's fingers had already pinched Feng Sheng's chin.
"Also?" He snorted.
"A slip of the tongue." Feng Sheng explained very well what it means to be a gentleman who understands the current affairs. She actually did it subconsciously. After all, it's not like she doesn't have money. It's obvious that King Wei doesn't want to make such a clear distinction with her.
"Let you take care of it and don't care about it. You have spent my king's money and said you have to pay it back. You don't have the consciousness of being my king's concubine at all."
King Wei also drank the wine, leaned closer to Feng Sheng and smelled the smell of wine in his mouth, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood, which was very nice.
But no matter how good the smell was, she did not ignore the danger in the other party's eyes.
"It's a slip of the tongue. I didn't tell you. I'm very rich. I have so much money that I can't spend it all. I can't help but like to play tricks." Feng Sheng stepped back and laughed dryly.
"Pretending to be big? Come on, let me see where the big one is?"
For everything about the Great Prince's Mansion, King Wei and Feng Sheng could only watch from the sidelines.
In fact, although this kind of method is uncomfortable, it still has some effect. Before the Chinese New Year, Emperor Jianping broke out with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and recruited the eldest prince to speak at the Qianqing Palace.
It is said that the eldest prince was crying miserably while hugging Emperor Jianping's leg, which made Emperor Jianping pat him on the shoulder, which seemed a little uncomfortable. After the eldest prince left, Emperor Jianping sent a lot of things to the eldest prince's mansion. After this, everyone knew that the eldest prince might turn over.
During the Chinese New Year, there are many banquets in the palace.
Although the eldest prince was still a bald prince, he often showed up in the palace with the Song family, looking proud.
Empress Chen, who had been ill for a long time, recovered from her illness.
The mother and son changed their previous attitude, and everyone looked kind.
What's going on outside and inside the palace has nothing to do with King Wei and Feng Sheng. In spring, the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing was rebuilt, and the two always ran there when nothing happened. As for Feng Sheng, dealing with sisters-in-law is indispensable at ordinary times, but the only one who is close to her is Princess Liang.
Liang Wang was young, and it was not long after the establishment of the mansion. His mother and concubine left early, and there was no one in his family. It was because when his mother and concubine had not left, he had some friendship with Li Concubine, and even he and Wei Wang The relationship is also good.
This is also the reason why Princess Liang took the initiative to make friends with Feng Sheng.
At the end of summer, Concubine Li activated early.
At that time, King Wei and Feng Sheng were not in the mansion. After receiving the news, they rushed to the palace. After they entered the palace, Concubine Li hadn't given birth yet. After midnight, Concubine Li gave birth to the sixteenth prince.
