There was silence all around.
Concubine Qi tried her best to gather her mind, and finally recovered her voice, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't listen to this bitch's nonsense! She is clearly slandering your son."
Princess Qi was obviously panicked, and even blurted out the word "slut".
The more she talked, the darker King Qi's face became.
He was almost sure what Fang Ziteng said was true.
When he was in the Hunting Palace, Fang Ziteng had come to complain to him that the son was trying to mistreat her. At that time, the princess also said that Fang Ziteng deliberately wronged the son because he wanted to fight for favor. And last time, there was a lot of rumors in the mansion that Nizi got involved with his concubine, and was finally fooled by the princess. Now that I think about it, all of this has started to appear from such an early age.
This concubine and his son are having sex, and the concubine is still pregnant. I don't know who the child in the womb is. Once this kind of scandal is spread, he, the king of Qi, will no longer have to be a man!
The uglier Princess Qi and King Qi's complexions were, the calmer Fang Ziteng became. She had already put up a fight, and calmly said: "Princess, I have evidence, the son's thigh..."
"Shut up! You bitch, shut up!" Princess Qi pointed at Fang Ziteng's nose and cursed, like an angry female beast, wishing to rush over and bite, "My lord, this bitch must have bribed her!" the people in the court of the prince."
Fang Ziteng looked at Princess Qi with pity, "Princess, didn't you say that my whereabouts are unknown in the Yaowang Temple? Then why don't you check the whereabouts of the prince?"
"Bitch..."
Princess Qi was furious, she waved her hand, and was about to slap her, but she heard King Qi yelled violently, "Stop!"
King Qi looked at Princess Qi and Fang Ziteng with disgust, "Isn't there enough jokes?" He asked Fang Ziteng with a sullen face, "What do you want?"
Fang Ziteng said without thinking: "I want to give birth to this child." Now this child is her biggest reliance, if this child is gone, they can kill her silently at any time. And as long as this child is born, he will be able to remind them all the time that the Zhennan Palace is well aware of this scandal, and they have no choice but to provide for her!
"no!"
"good!"
Two different answers sounded at the same time.
Concubine Qi looked at King Qi incredulously, he... He actually agreed to keep this bastard! Is he crazy
King Qi has another consideration, the heirs of King Qi's mansion are weak, no matter who the father of the child is, it is his own blood.
"No!" Princess Qi was about to go crazy. Once this child was born, would it be considered her concubine or her grandson? How would she face him in the future
King Qi looked at her in disgust, and said with a cold snort: "This king's mansion has the right to say."
Nangong Yue looked at the two of them indifferently. Everything about Prince Qi's Mansion has nothing to do with her, but from today's events, it can be seen that this Prince Qi's Mansion is even more chaotic than she imagined.
It was just a short cup of tea, and the whole thing developed in an incredible direction.
In the end, Princess Qi couldn't hold back the thigh of King Qi, so King Qi agreed to keep the child, and Nangong Yue had to become a witness.
Seeing this, Fang Ziteng finally felt relieved, her life was saved anyway. But in the next moment, Xiao Fei said coldly: "Cousin Teng, this is the last time I will call you cousin, you are not worthy to be my cousin!"
Fang Ziteng's face froze, and Xiao Fei continued to say mercilessly: "You are willing to degenerate, you don't obey women's ways, and you are complacent. Fortunately, you have studied for so many years, and even those rough women who don't know how to read Why not! People do not do anything because they have a sense of shame; if they have no shame, there is nothing they cannot do. The difference between humans and beasts is that people know their shame and do nothing!"
Fang Ziteng clenched her fists tightly, hating Xiao Fang's mother and daughter in her heart. Obviously she was going to marry her cousin, if it wasn't for her aunt Xiao Fang's helplessness, how could she be in the situation she is in today! But... Thinking that she has to rely on the Zhennan Palace to survive, Fang Ziteng could only swallow her anger.
Seeing that Fang Ziteng was being scolded by Xiao Fei, Princess Qi's mouth curled into a sneer.
Nangong Yue seemed to look normal, but secretly praised the sister-in-law in her heart.
No matter what Xiao Fei's temperament is, Xiao Fei is still very transparent about this point.
Although she is Xiao Fang's daughter, she is quite different from Xiao Fang.
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Fei turned her head and said to Nangong Yue, "Let's leave quickly. This place is full of filth, and we are not blinded by these dirty things." What to say, but also see this farce clearly.
What kind of filth and dirty things?! Qi Wangfei came up to the ground again in a moment of anger, and said angrily: "Miss Xiao, we can't have a girl like you in the Qi Palace!"
Xiao Fei frowned, and was about to speak, but Nangong Yue held her back, then looked at Princess Qi sharply, and scolded unceremoniously: "Princess, good medicine is bitter, and good advice is harsh! Princess, don't blame others for everything. But I don’t know how to review myself first! Why did today’s incident turn into this? Princess, you know very well. As the mistress of a mansion, you don’t think about how to take care of the inner house to share the worries of the prince, but spend all day in the palace. They are all quick to talk and provoke right and wrong."
"You... You, a second-rank princess of the Zhennan Prince, dare to reprimand me! I am a dignified princess!" Princess Qi was so angry that smoke was rising from the top of her head, and her whole face was distorted.
"You also know that you are the princess?" Nangong Yue said without giving in, "With a princess like you, the backyard of the Qi Palace must be in chaos, and the matter of Concubine Fang is just one of them! Princess , People value self-knowledge, not only value the strengths of their confidants, but also value the weaknesses of their confidants, if you force it, it is just adding to the chaos!"
"you… "
"Enough!" Qi Wang stopped her, and all the face in his mansion was completely lost today.
However, the Zhennan Prince's concubine was right in saying something. When he was walking around the capital these days, he had heard that his concubine had offended people everywhere for the marriage of the rebellious son. Not only did he get beaten up by Young Aunt Yong Yang, but he was even scolded by Hao Sheng when he saw Sister Yuncheng a few days ago, which made him so ashamed that he dared not speak back. There are also some other mansions... Recently, even the number of people who invited him to the mansion for a drink has decreased a lot.
The inner house is always like this and it really gives him a headache, anyway, now that his daughter-in-law has also passed the door, maybe...
King Qi was thoughtful.
Nangong Yue quickly glanced at King Qi, feeling that today's goal has been achieved, and she will no longer engage in verbal disputes with Princess Qi.
"My lord, my concubine, we will take our leave."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for them to see off the guests, Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei and left on her own.
On the way back to Zhennan Prince's Mansion in Zhulun Carriage, Xiao Fei was still a little bit aggrieved. She believed herself to be upright, and to have such a cousin was really an indelible stain.
Nangong Yue was amused by the angry look of this little girl, and suddenly said: "Big sister, are you angry about Princess Qi?"
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue and asked puzzledly: "Sister-in-law, are you angry?"
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "This is a private matter of Prince Qi's residence. What does it have to do with our Zhennan Prince's residence? Why should I be angry?"
Xiao Fei frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.
Although Fang Ziteng is her cousin, since she is a concubine and acts improperly, she naturally cannot bear the name of "cousin". That being the case, why should I be angry for an outsider.
Xiao Fei thinks that the sister-in-law can see clearly!
Seeing that she had figured it out, Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Not long after, they returned to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and Xiao Fei finally remembered that she hadn't borrowed any books yet, so she pretended that she had forgotten to go back to her room, and continued to follow Nangong Yue.
At this time, Lily came to say that Madam Zhang had something to report.
Nangong Yue nodded, she wanted Xiao Fei to go back first, but suddenly she had an idea and took her to Wushou Hall together.
Not long after, Zhang Momo came and said respectfully, "I have met the concubine, eldest girl."
Nangong Yue raised her hand, and Mammy Zhang reported directly: "Concubine Shizi, the servant girl has already made a list of the things you ordered, and I ask Concubine Shizi to take care of you."
Lily took the list and handed it to Nangong Yue. The list included all kinds of sacrifices needed for ancestor worship during the winter solstice. She only gave orders in the morning, but Nanny Zhang got it done very quickly. Nangong Yue nodded slightly in satisfaction, this list is very appropriate, she said with a smile: "Just follow this list."
Nanny Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed.
Nangong Yue winked and asked Lily to give her the right card.
Xiao Fei sat at the side, watching Nangong Yue deal with the matter one by one, she frowned slightly and looked at Nanny Zhang, seeing that Nanny Zhang's heart sank, she didn't know what offended this big girl .
After finally waiting for Nanny Zhang to retreat, Xiao Fei finally couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, I don't know if I should say it or not."
Looking at her expression, Nangong Yue knew what Xiao Fei wanted to say, and sure enough, Xiao Fei didn't wait for Nangong Yue to speak, so she continued on her own: "Sister-in-law, you were born in a Shilin family. Don't these trivial matters lose the dignity of a scholar? Sister-in-law, Fei'er thinks that these trivial matters can be left to the servants."
Nangong Yue had already figured out the way to get along with Xiao Fei, she couldn't help but smiled slightly and said: "Big sister, if you have time, come back to Fufengyuan with me."
The eldest sister-in-law has a life, and Xiao Fei agreed without hesitation.
After returning to Fufengyuan, Nangong Yue took her directly into her small study room. When Xiao Fei saw the books on the bookshelf neatly arranged, her eyes were straightened. She likes to read, but the Zhennan Palace is a military commander after all, and there are not many books in the palace. At this moment, entering Nangong Yue's small study room is like entering a treasure house. Xiao Fei's cheeks were bright red, and her eyes were full of surprise.
However, when Xiao Fei saw the thick pile of account books on Nangong Yue's book case, she couldn't help but frowned slightly: it's really insulting to the gentlemen to have so many philistine things in such an elegant study room. !
Her colorful expressions made Nangong Yue secretly amused. Nangong Yue deliberately sat down behind the desk, beckoned to her, and said, "Big sister, please sit down." After Xiao Fei sat down, Lily brought a serving Osmanthus tea, the rich scent of osmanthus soon wafted into this small study.
Nangong Yue took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, and said with a smile on her face, "Big sister thinks being a director is too trivial and demeaning?"
Xiao Fei, who was told what was on her mind, straightened her face and said, "What sister-in-law said is very true."
"Eldest sister went to Prince Qi's mansion today, how do you feel?"
Xiao Fei frowned again.
"As the mistress of the family, the most important thing is to manage the inner house well, so that the men in the family can be busy with the court and the society without any worries." Nangong Yue asked with a smile, "Do you think so?"
Xiao Fei thought about it for a long time, and said: "But there are maids and mothers-in-law in the mansion, and they..."
Nangong Yue interrupted her, and asked back: "Isn't there any maids and mothers-in-law in Prince Qi's Mansion?" She paused, and then said, "Big sister, the servants can only be helpers, never Take the place of the housewife to take care of Zhongfei. No matter who you marry in the future, this is your responsibility. The ancients said: Take the position, keep your job, do your sincerity without exceeding the limit. If it is a matter of duty Wouldn’t it be a violation of the teachings of the saints to shirk it to others.”
Nangong Yue knew that to persuade this sister-in-law who likes to read, she only needed to quote the words of a sage. Sure enough, Xiao Fei nodded in thought, and said sternly: "It should be like this. It's just..." Her small face showed a trace of distress, and she said, "You don't have to bury your head in the account book all day like a businessman Bar."
"Big sister, can you master mathematics?"
Xiao Fei shook her head.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Big sister, arithmetic is also a very high-level knowledge. Since ancient times, there have been works on arithmetic such as "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Nine Chapters of Numeracy", "Sea Island Suan Jing", "My Cao Suan Jing" and so on. , now even the Guozijian has specially set up mathematics courses. If you have never studied mathematics, no matter how smart the elder sister is, I am afraid that she may not be able to understand and calculate the account books." She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Fei. Asked provocatively, "Big sister, do you want to give it a try?"
Xiao Fei had read a few books on arithmetic, and it was really difficult, and she couldn't find a suitable teacher to teach her in the remote southern Xinjiang, so she could only half understand it by herself, so she still had doubts about arithmetic. With considerable awe.
It's just that these are just account books, so they can't be compared with arithmetic.
Xiao Fei said disapprovingly, "It's just an account book..."
Nangong Yue smiled and said nothing, but gave Xiao Fei the account book in her hand.
Xiao Fei sat down on the armchair by the window, sat upright and turned over the account book, but she was startled when she opened the first page, and then quickly turned to the second page... After that, there was no more...
She stared at the second page with big eyes and small eyes for nearly a stick of incense, and in the middle of it, she glanced at Nangong Yue several times indiscriminately.
But Nangong Yue clearly knew that Xiao Fei was looking at her, but deliberately pretended to concentrate on looking at the account book. After another cup of tea time, Xiao Fei finally couldn't sit still, stood up to congratulate her, and said very seriously: "Sister-in-law, Fei'er can't."
Her temperament is so strict, she doesn't know what she doesn't understand, and she never deliberately hides it.
Nangong Yue looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Do you want to learn from Eldest Sister?"
Xiao Fei hesitated.
"It's not about learning how to read the ledger, but about learning how to count." Nangong Yue guided and said, "It's not as easy as reading through the Four Books and Five Classics. It also depends on the talent of the reader."
Learning arithmetic? It turns out that my sister-in-law is so knowledgeable that she can even do arithmetic!
Xiao Fei said with burning eyes: "Sister-in-law, teach me."
This sister-in-law is just ignorant of common affairs, she is very simple, she is also A Yi's younger sister after all, Nangong Yue thought that maybe she could teach her a lesson. Ah Yi has always envied others who have relatives...
Nangong Yue walked to the bookshelf at the side, took out a thin book, handed it to her and said, "This is what my father gave me to enlighten me on arithmetic, let's start with the simplest one..."
Xiao Fei sat upright and listened respectfully.
Zhennan Prince's Mansion was peaceful and happy, while Qi Prince's Mansion was still in chaos. Fortunately, King Qi had made up his mind this time and resorted to hard measures to suppress the servants, and finally those secrets did not spread.
Within a few days, Nangong Yue heard that Princess Qi had been deprived of the power to preside over Zhongfu by King Qi, so she closed her doors and thought about her mistakes.
Hearing the news, Nangong Yue couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly, and things were exactly as she expected, at least King Qi acted decisively this time.
How can there be no one in the royal palace who presides over the central concubine? The concubine has not passed the family yet, and the side concubine can't be on the stage after all, so only Jiang Yixi can replace Qi Wangfei as the master of the central concubine.
I just don't know if this soft-eared King Qi will be coaxed by Princess Qi again soon.
Nangong Yue thought about it for a second, with the child in Fang Ziteng's womb, in the future, neither King Qi nor Princess Qi would be able to forget what happened that day...
At this time, Lily brought a tray and said back: "Concubine Shizi, the eldest lady's clothes and jewelry have been made, would you like to have a look?"
Nangong Yue glanced at it casually, and asked her to send it to Xiao Fei.
Recently, Xiao Fei has become obsessed with arithmetic, and she is trying hard to study hard behind closed doors. Nangong Yue finds that earnest study really interesting, and specially asks no one to disturb the eldest girl.
However, Princess Yuncheng's flower party is coming soon, and she still has to be pulled out of the room when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue still had a headache.
Speaking of the flower fair, the female relatives in the third prince's mansion are also busy for the flower festival.
Since the mansion was opened, this is the first time that the Third Prince's Mansion has participated in a banquet in the royal capital in the name of the Prince's Mansion. Cui Yanyan, as a prince concubine, naturally had to behave well.
Not only did she go to Han Lingfu in person to tell Han Lingfu that she would take the side concubine Bai and the side concubine Baiyi with her, she also asked people to open the warehouse in front of Han Lingfu, and rewarded the two concubines with a lot of materials and jewelry. Very satisfied, it is rare to say a few words of praise.
Han Lingfu has been living a leisurely life recently. After being dismissed from his errands, he just went to study in the study every day, as if he had nothing to do with it. Finally, the emperor's face improved a lot when he saw him.
This is all thanks to Bai Muxiao's advice for him.
Bai Muxiao has become more well-behaved and sensible recently, and even tolerated the child in her womb, which made Han Lingfu feel a little guilty towards her, so he would go to her yard as soon as he returned home every day, and the two of them Like the most intimate "husband and wife", they go out together, and they are very affectionate.
At this time, the two of them are even more hand in hand to enjoy the flowers together.
Walking all the way in the garden, talking and laughing, having fun.
Until a pleasant female voice came from the front right.
"Your Highness."
Bai Muxiao looked up, and saw that Bai Yi was wearing a rose red lotus pattern top, matched with a radiant moon skirt, walking around with a smile on her face.
A look of hostility flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, and she put on her clothes again!
In the past few days, as long as she and Han Lingfu were together, Bai Yi would appear in front of them with various excuses.
It took only a while for them to stroll around for a stick of incense, but she came again unexpectedly.
This woman knew that she and Han Lingfu had already fallen in love with each other, but she still wanted to interfere, but she was pregnant, and she was pregnant with Han Lingfu's child...
Bai Muxiao looked at the lower abdomen where the clothes were placed, and suddenly felt a tearing pain in her heart.
Bai Yi walked up to him and respectfully bowed to Han Lingfu: "I have met Your Highness in person."
Han Lingfu said lightly: "No courtesy."
The eyes flickered under the half-draped eyelids, straightened up as if nothing had happened, then smiled and said to Bai Muxiao: "Sister Xiao'er, I heard that you have a dry cough recently, I used a prescription when I was in Baiyue That's right, I'll ask the servant girl to deliver it to you later." She seemed to be sincere in her words, sincere in her attitude, and had a gentle appearance.
Bai Muxiao didn't bother to straighten out her clothes at all, and said coldly, "I don't dare to bother my side concubine, it's just that the weather is dry and my throat is hoarse."
She is not a fool, she can't see that she is clearly pretending to be gentle in front of Han Lingfu by arranging her clothes.
If Baiyi really wants to give her a prescription, when can't he deliver it all day long, and he has to wait for Han Lingfu to come back to give it to her... But I just want to show my face in front of Han Lingfu and spoil her! This kind of focus all day long The woman in the back house still wants to fight with her? A hint of contempt appeared on the corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth.
Bai Muxiao didn't seem to sense Bai Muxiao's indifference, and said considerately: "Sister Xiao'er, you don't have to be polite with me. We are sisters, so naturally we have to get along in harmony." As she spoke, she gave the servant girl a wink , "Your Highness, I ordered the small kitchen to make some red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup, which is most suitable for this dry autumn. Why don't you go to the pavilion in front and taste it with sister Xiao'er?" One step forward.
He subconsciously reached out and stroked his stomach.
Han Lingfu has always admired Baiyi, and now that she is pregnant with her own child, she naturally wants to show some face.
Han Lingfu nodded with a smile.
Bai Yi smiled sweetly, walked slowly towards the gazebo, and said tenderly: "Your Highness, I heard that you have worked hard day and night, this lotus seed is good for the mind and calms the nerves, Your Highness should drink an extra bowl. "
Han Lingfu responded, and walked a few steps forward with Bai Yi, only to find that there was one person missing beside him. He hurriedly looked back, and saw Bai Muxiao stopped a few steps away, staring at himself and Bai Yi blankly.
At this moment, Bai Muxiao's heart was restless. With her temperament, she didn't even bother to deal with a woman like Bai Yi, but this woman was Han Lingfu's woman both in name and in essence! He can always get involved with himself and Han Lingfu in a logical way.
And I am just one of his women...
Han Lingfu frowned slightly, could it be that Xiao'er is playing petty temper again
Han Lingfu had just thought of it, but quickly put it aside. When Bai Yi was pregnant, it was because he was sorry for Xiao'er, and Xiao'er didn't care about it anymore, so how could he be dissatisfied because of her little jealousy. Thinking of this, Han Lingfu sighed in his heart and said, "Xiao'er..."
He still had a gentle face while putting on his clothes, and said before him: "Sister Xiao'er, but I came at a late time and disturbed your solitude with His Highness, it's really my fault."
Han Lingfu is a man, no matter how much he loves Bai Muxiao, he will not show that he obeys Bai Muxiao in front of others, so he took back his half-stepped step.
Bai Muxiao kept looking at Han Lingfu.
She was so jealous that Bai Yi was pregnant, she was going crazy, she told herself desperately that she loved this man, so she should tolerate the small mistakes he made inadvertently.
She endured desperately, just for this love.
However, whenever she wants to forget all this, Bai Yi will appear in front of her.
again and again!
She is a woman, and she can see that Han Lingfu's attitude towards Bai Yi is different. This difference will definitely become more obvious after Bai Yi gave birth to this child.
child…
This child must not be left behind!
Bai Muxiao's eyes were cold, it wasn't that she was cruel, but this child shouldn't have come...
Blame only the clothes!
Bai Muxiao lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled nonchalantly, walked forward slowly, looked at Han Lingfu worriedly, and said, "Recently, Xiaoer forgot to make some health-preserving soup for His Highness, and she is not as thoughtful as Sister Putiyi." , It's really Xiao'er's fault..." Her eyelashes trembled slightly, worry and shame mixed together on her small face.
Han Lingfu blamed himself for a while. It turned out that he had misunderstood again. Xiao'er was just worried about herself. He must trust her more in the future. He hastily stepped forward and said softly: "Xiao'er, it's just autumn dryness, it's not a big deal."
Bai Muxiao looked at her tenderly, with affection in her eyes.
He looked at them with a smile on his clothes, and a trace of coldness appeared in his blue eyes.
Bai Muxiao thought that she was covering it up very well, but she didn't want her to see clearly just now, and it didn't waste her being in front of them all these days.
Bai Muxiao wants to ruin this child, so she will make her perfect...
