The people present were all fighting all the way in the backyard when they were young, and now they are all mature. Naturally, there was a trace of disdain in the eyes of Miss Liu's little calculation. At the same time, they did not forget to glare at their granddaughter, which was quite a bit. It means hating iron but not becoming steel.
They naturally looked down upon Miss Liu's methods, but at the same time they were also secretly angry that their own girl was not living up to expectations. Why didn't they seize such a good opportunity? If Miss Liu was replaced by their granddaughter, they wouldn't Knows how to snicker.
The old princess in the seat knew this very well and smiled lightly when she saw everyone's performance, as if everything was under control.
Anyway, this is what she wants to see, and the old princess is not stupid. She knows that her natal family is like this, and it is impossible to directly arrange concubines for Chu Jihan, but as long as some of the daughters of the official families in front of her are put in the backyard , when there are more people, they don’t care so much about their family background.
In fact, the old princess did not want to cause trouble to Su Ning's heart. She was just doing what was best for herself. Not to mention that Su Ning's heart was weak and it was difficult to get pregnant, which would make the princess who was not dealing with her even more powerful. That was Su Ning. Kokoro herself also felt that she would be disrespectful because of her high birth status.
It would be different if there were many people in Chu Jihan's backyard. When there was only one concubine, she would naturally have the final say. When there were more concubines and concubines, they themselves would fight fiercely. Then there would definitely be many people. Few people want to please the grandmother who is attached to her. This is what the old princess wants to see.
The old princess looked at Miss Liu who was acting in tears below, and she couldn't help but show a kind smile, as if she had seen the days when she was flattered by everyone, "Pei'er, don't be anxious and speak slowly, I will give it to you naturally. The one who calls the shots.”
When Liu Pei'er saw the old princess's kind look, she couldn't help but feel reassured. She was originally worried about being dealt with by the county prince's palace, but now that the old princess was backing her up, she became a lot more stubborn, so she added fuel to the fire to describe what had just happened. Said it again.
Liu Pei'er was also very smart. She never mentioned that Chu Jihan was responsible for things like that. She only said that she had been pushed into the water and lost her innocence. She must ask the old princess to get justice for her. Then she cried and said that she wanted to Become a nun.
The girls who were admiring the scenery by the lake with Liu Pei'er couldn't help but roll their eyes. At that time, the others were eight hundred miles away from her. They watched Liu Pei'er jump by herself, but now they say it was someone else who pushed her. , really shameless.
Who doesn't know that Liu Pei'er's maternal ancestral home is from Jiangnan. She grew up in Jiangnan when she was a child. She has excellent water properties. She framed a man who could float by pushing him into the lake and drowning her? Are you afraid that you are not crazy
Even if Liu Pei'er threw herself at the prince, she would also be accused of pushing others into the water. They didn't get any benefit from this, and they were in trouble.
There were a few people standing in the back whose expressions were different from the disdain and disdain of the other girls. They looked at Liu Pei'er with a somewhat gloating smile, as if they were waiting to see her joke.
These girls were headed by Princess Yaoyi. Her eyes looked at Liu Pei'er with the feeling that everyone was drunk but I was alone.
There was a reason why Princess Yaoyi and the others were like this. After Su Ningxin left, she and several other girls were wandering in the garden.
She had not yet decided whether to marry into Prince An's palace. Chu Jihan's dying body made her hesitate. The fact that Su Ningxin fell seriously ill not long after being alone in such a good way also shocked her, and for a moment she felt a little worried. hesitated.
She never thought that she couldn't marry into the county prince's palace. After all, look at the girls who came today, which one has a good background? Competing with them is a loss of one's own status. It is only the share that one does not want. There is no reason to choose them over oneself.
In this way, Zhou Yaoyi silently thought about her own affairs, listened to the other girls chatting for a few words, and unknowingly walked to the ancestral hall of the Prince's Mansion.
Places like the ancestral hall are places where ancestors' tablets are enshrined, and outsiders are never allowed in. However, when they walked to the door of the ancestral hall, they saw that the ancestral hall was not locked, and a maid ran out in a panic.
No matter how you look at this situation, it looks like there is some secret. Logically speaking, this is someone else's business, and the ancestral hall is so gloomy that they are too timid to go in. They should just turn around and leave.
But one of the girls was from a military general's family, and one of the girls who had trouble with her joked that she, a girl from a military general's family, was so timid. It seemed that her previous behavior was just pretending to be majestic.
How could a girl from a military general's family resist such provocation? He glared at her fiercely and led the way into the ancestral hall.
Seeing them like this, Princess Yaoyi wished she could open their heads to see if their brains were still inside. This was Prince Anjun's palace, where they suppressed each other? Who can afford it if something happens
Although she didn't want to get into trouble, Zhou Yaoyi still followed them into the ancestral hall. After all, the other girls were already curious, and now they had the excuse of being worried about the girl from the military general's family, so they all went in. She couldn't just turn around and leave. , if word got out, others would definitely say that she was cold and heartless.
Princess Yaoyi entered the ancestral hall and felt eerie when facing the wall full of memorial tablets, and she couldn't help but feel chills running down her back.
Looking at the daughter of the military general before the funeral, she lowered her head and leaned towards the light without moving, which made her look even more penetrating in the dim light.
Everyone was a little scared and the atmosphere was very tense. At this moment, the military commander's daughter suddenly screamed. This sound was like cutting off the tight strings of a piano. All the girls screamed and pushed each other. He ran out of the ancestral hall in a flash.
Princess Yaoyi came to her senses when she got outside, and looked dissatisfied at the daughter of the general who followed at the end, "What are you calling?"
The military commander's daughter was also very scared. She wasn't scared at first, but she got scared when everyone called her, and ran out with everyone. She was so anxious that she forgot to put the imperial edict back. At this time, she was still holding the imperial edict enshrined in the ancestral hall. Woolen cloth.
"This..." the girl from the military general's family said, pointing to the imperial edict. The other girls were shocked when they saw it. They even broke into the ancestral hall secretly and stole the imperial edict enshrined by them. Is this because they were afraid that Prince An County would deal with them? ? All the girls took a step back, intent on drawing a clear line.
Princess Yaoyi has the highest status here. Everyone is looking at her and waiting for her to give a solution. Yaoyi is helpless by everyone, so she can only step forward and snatch the imperial edict from the military commander's daughter and say, " Let’s go and put it back quickly.”
The military commander's daughter was worried that she would damage the imperial edict, so she did not hold it hard and allowed Yaoyi to snatch the edict away. She thought about it and said, "This is the edict granting marriage between the prince and his concubine. The so-called concubines are all The old princess is playing tricks on us."
