Kai, this kind of brain and upbringing really can be regarded as a high level.
Qu Qing Ju sat down in the seat on the left, took a sip of the tea, then put it down, and instead chatted with the other ladies without a word.
"Princess is looking better now," said Mrs. Luo, the wife of the Minister of War, and also the mother of Qu Qingju's aunt. This old lady also took care of Qu Qingju, so no one was surprised that her tone was closer. I still remember that when I added makeup to the princess, the princess was still thin and small, but now it has only been a few months, and it is almost unrecognizable by the old body, it can be seen that Duan Wang's mansion is raising people."
"No, not to mention old Mrs. Luo, even I almost didn't dare to recognize her," Tian shi took the words. She was the concubine of Qu Qingju's mother. Qu Qing Ju, and now that Qu Qing Ju is still Princess Duan, she is not so polite, "I used to look at the other two girls in your residence, and I was worried about my niece for a while, but now I let it go. Heart, the daughters of the Changde Palace are really all water spirits."
Whoever was present didn't know that these words were mocking Liang's harsh treatment of the original wife's daughter. Although the words were a bit ugly, they were the truth. In addition, they saw Princess Duan laughing all the time without saying a word, and they suddenly understood the attitude of Princess Duan towards the Liang family.
Back then, Mrs. Liang used methods to fascinate Duke Changde, which made Mrs. Tian, who was still pregnant, so angry that she gave birth to a daughter and died of illness. Mr. Liang entered the door less than two months after Mrs. Tian passed away. The mansion wanted to pick up the eldest girl to live in the Hou mansion, and was often blocked by the Liang family. In the end, the Xiangqinghou Mansion did not deal with the Changde Gong Mansion everywhere. I only pity the eldest girl who lost her mother. If it weren't for the support of the Xiangqinghoufu, I am afraid that even the dowry of the biological mother would not be able to be protected.
It's no wonder that Princess Duan is embarrassed to treat her now, such a poisonous woman can only be regarded as a treasure by Duke Chang De, if other respectable people, even being a concubine would be ashamed.
Qu Qing Ju stared coldly at everyone's words and mocked Liang Shi, she just thought she couldn't understand, she just laughed and didn't speak. Given the current status of Changde's mansion, it is nothing more than an empty shelf, and one or two can be seen by looking at the attitude of these ladies towards the Liang family. And she would be pointed to Duan Wang by the emperor. The tricky thing in it is that which empress in the harem made it out.
Poor Qu Qingju was left alone and became a victim of other people's political struggles. If Duan Wang's heart was not calm enough, if she didn't have a good uncle, I'm afraid that before she crossed over, she would have lost her bones.
The ruthlessness of men, the pain will only be imposed on women. A woman's weakness and pain will only be imposed on her child. But such a dynasty could not tolerate women who were too strong.
"Everything is fine with the eldest girl, but it's too dull. Now that the prince treats her well, I, as a mother, can rest assured."
Hearing this sentence, Qu Qing Ju raised her head to look at Liang Shi, she was also a very simple woman, many people mocked her, but she didn't see any change in her face.
As if nothing had happened, he helped the red gold phoenix tail agate by his temples, and Qu Qingju twitched the corners of his mouth: "Madam, don't worry about my daughter, I have a very good life in Duanwangfu, and my wife's care for my daughter over the years, I am heartbroken. It's clear." After speaking, it seemed that he was in a trance and remembered, "The younger brother and the third sister are not too young, so I brought some gifts today. They are not expensive things. It's better to keep them for everyone to play with."
I don't know what Qu Qingju's intention is to mention Wangzhi and Yuesu, but Liang Shi knew in her heart that she was not good to Qu Qingju in the past, and she said this kind of thing today, it must not be kind.
"How can the princess be so expensive?" Liang Shi forced a smile, looking at the agate earrings on Qu Qing Ju's earlobe, and for the first time clearly realized in her heart that Tian Shi, the slut's daughter, became the princess.
"You don't have to be polite, madam, it's all from my own family." Qu Qing Ju lowered her eyelids, picked up the tea cup and blew slowly, but was not interested in taking another sip.
Everyone looked at this scene and suddenly felt that Princess Duan was polite and courteous, but she gave people a feeling of imposing manner, as if Liang was just a joke in her eyes, and it was only because of her magnanimity that she would not be with her. General calculation.
Qu Yuesu looked at Qu Qing Ju in front of her, her brows were slightly wrinkled, the person in front of her was still the same person, but her makeup was exquisite and her manners were elegant, which made people feel that she was a little shorter than her. the eldest sister
Just when Mrs Liang felt that she couldn't go on, she saw a few maids walked in with the old lady surrounded by them. She looked relieved and quickly stood up to meet her. Although I didn't like the old lady in the past, but now that the old lady is here, most people here will still give the old lady two points, and she doesn't have to face the enemy.
The old lady held Liang's hand, and wanted to salute Qu Qingju. After being supported by Mujin, she still politely said, "It is an honor for the princess to come here today."
"Grandma's words are serious, today is my father's birthday, why can't my granddaughter come," Qu Qing Ju looked at the kind old lady in front of her and said with a smile, "Grandma said so, but she treated her granddaughter as an outsider." He was not a charitable person. Back then, Qu Qing Ju had a hard life in the mansion, and she never saw the old lady come out to say a fair word.
In the eyes of a woman, how could other people compare to her own son, Qu Qingju expected that she appeared at this time because she knew that Liang's family was being made difficult. She doesn't necessarily like Liang, but she won't allow her daughter-in-law to be trampled on by others, because this is equivalent to making her son shameless.
Although this is reality, it does not mean that Qu Qing Ju will accept it.
After everyone sat down politely again, Qu Qing Ju sat on the carved chair and stopped speaking. If someone talked to her, she would only answer a few words, and slowly, the atmosphere faded.
Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Mrs. Qu knew in her heart that Qu Qingju was deliberately embarrassing, but the other party was now a noble person, so she could only hold it high: "It's getting late, why don't you all go to the West Hall with the old man for a banquet? ."
Everyone's eyes swept to Princess Duan, and when they saw that she was holding a cup of tea with a smile, they got up one after another knowing that she had no objection.
Qu Qing Ju got up and smiled kindly at everyone, and stepped forward to support Mrs. Qu's hand, "Grandma, please."
Old Mrs. Qu smiled and patted the back of her hand, and said a little closer: "You girl, you are already Princess Duan, how can you do this, it's not a joke."
When the ladies heard the words, they immediately praised Princess Duan for her filial piety. Although Princess Duan only took a few steps to release her, who could say that she did not do well
As soon as they walked to the exit of the garden, everyone saw a maid walking over with a thin cloak in her hand. Seeing that it didn't look like the clothes worn by the maid of Changde Gongfu, they guessed which maid it was.
Mujin recognized at a glance that this was the forsythia beside the prince, and slowed down.
Seeing Qu Qingju, Forsythia hurriedly walked over to her and bowed her knees and said: "Princess, the lord saw that the sun was hiding in the shade, worried that you would catch a cold, and asked the servants to bring you a cloak. He also specifically instructed you not to use it. Things that are too spicy, dry and cold in autumn, don’t hurt your throat, spleen and stomach.”
"It's not a child, how can you be so careful," Qu Qing Ju snorted with a smile, and motioned for Mujin to take the cape, "I accept the cape, you tell Qian Changxin to be careful, and don't let Wang Ye drink too much alcohol."
Forsythia hurriedly responded, and hurriedly backed out.
Everyone looked at the dark patterned cloak of Shu brocade in Mujin's hand, and they all sighed in their hearts, who said that King Duan didn't like Princess Duan, it was only because the sky was overcast, so they eagerly asked people to bring the cloak over, and even did not forget to ask for food. .
Everyone present who was not the first wife of the family, looked at the cloak, and felt an inexplicable envy in their hearts.
☆、Confrontation
The West Hall of the Changde Palace is specially reserved for banquets for women, so most of the decorations in it are exquisite and bright, and there are calligraphy and paintings of famous people hanging inside. It's a pity that one generation is not as good as one generation, and now the behavior of Chang Degong is even more absurd, which makes people watch a lot of jokes in private.
Qu Qing Ju was at the same table as Mrs. Qu, and her position was right next to Mrs. Luo, which showed how the Qu family treated her. Someone on the table was deliberately flattering, so the atmosphere at one table was quite lively. It was only after Mrs. Luo called the third girl from the Qu family to sit down on the other side, the eyes of the others changed a little. If this is a private banquet, no one will say a word no matter how you sit here. But now there are several female relatives present who have higher status than Mrs. Luo. As the third girl of the Qu family, as a junior, there is no title on her body, so it is a bit inappropriate to sit at this table.
Bao Ronghou looked at Madam Qu with a sneer, knowing that Madam Qu wanted the third lady of the Qu family to show her face in front of other ladies, and the timing was not necessarily good.
"I used to love these two girls, but now the eldest girl is married, and today they are finally together." How could Mrs. Qu not know what everyone was thinking, she tried the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Now the girls are all grown up. , my old lady can't wait to keep them by her side all the time."
A lady who was close to the Qu family smiled and said, "This is the old lady's loving heart for her granddaughter, but this girl's family is big, how can she keep it, the third girl is such a symbol..." She said this where, he smiled narrowly.
When Qu Yuesu heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head, too embarrassed to raise his head.
Seeing her little daughter's demeanor, Qu Qing Ju smiled and looked at the woman who said this. This person was from Mrs. Qu's family's family, Wei's family. Qu Yuesu was polite, but Qu Qingju and the prostitute Qu Huixue were not in her eyes.
"Mrs. Wei is joking, now the third sister is the youngest, and my grandmother loves it so much, how can I spend more time with my grandmother," Qu Qingju looked at Mrs. Wei with a half-smile, and took the handkerchief presented by Yin Liu to wipe her hands , "But the second sister is spending less and less time with her grandmother now."
When Mr. Liang heard Qu Qingju's words, his heart burst into anger. Qu Qingju was trying to ruin his daughter's marriage. When I mentioned the second girl, I wanted to tell others that her first-born mother was not merciful. She only remembered her own daughter and treated her concubine harshly
Wei Shi was stunned for a while, and seemed to be unresponsive. In the past, she used to please her aunt like this, but today she was pushed back by Qu Qingju, and she was shocked to realize that the one sitting opposite her was not the eldest girl of the Qu family in the past, but It is the high princess Duan.
Mrs. Luo glanced at Wei Shi with a smile, her eyes full of ridicule. Who is Duan Wang? That was the emperor's second son. Although his mother, Concubine Jing, was not as favored as Concubine Shu, she also had two faces in front of the emperor. As for the nature of King Duan, no one knows, but in the eyes of the people of the Manchu Dynasty, although King Duan is not the most capable of the four princes, he is definitely not an incompetent prince.
Today, he has only four sons. Although the eldest prince, King Ning, has some strength in the court, his birth is not high, and his biological mother is just a talented person. Concubine Shu, the mother of King Rui, the third prince, was the most favored by the emperor, and she also favored this prince the most, but although this prince had some strategies, his methods were ruthless, causing many people to fear. The mother of the fourth prince, Prince Cheng, was a noble concubine, and she was not favored by the emperor.
Mrs. Luo didn't know much about matters in the courtroom, but she wasn't too bad at seeing people. This King Duan was only afraid of a bright future. Although her old Luo family didn't have the heart to stand in line, the King Duan had no intention of offending him. To be able to be like Duan Wang, either because of his true nature, or because it is unfathomable.
But where is the royal person who shows his true nature? She has lived for so many years and has seen a lot of people, so she understands more who can't be offended, and who even if they are offended, it won't be a big deal.
Duan Wang is the former, and Changde Gongfu is the latter.
But this Princess Duan made her look away. In the past, it was only because the daughter who married into the Tian family took care of her, but now she feels that this Princess Duan is not a simple woman. Thinking of this, she was a little fortunate. She did not ask Princess Duan to be grateful to her, but because of her past care, it was also a good thing that Princess Duan had a good impression of the Luo family and her daughter.
But in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Luo changed a lot of thoughts, but she still had a kind smile on her face, and praised: "It can be seen that Princess Duan is thinking about these sisters on weekdays, and a few girls from the old family occasionally still You can say a few words, which is far worse than that of the princess."
"This old lady is self-effacing. I have met several sisters in your house for a long time, all of them are knowledgeable and reasonable, and even my aunt often praises them." Qu Qing Ju accepted the kindness of old lady Luo, "I usually call my sisters. I often come to the palace for nothing, and my aunt is very kind and kind to me, but she has no daughter under her knees, so I used to want to get along with a young daughter who is similar to my aunt. Luckily, I met the sisters in your house and let me go. Long-cherished wish, the old lady should not bear them out."
After listening to Princess Duan's words, Mrs. Luo always mentioned how her daughter treated her well in the past, and also praised her several granddaughters, the smile on her face became more and more obvious: "Princess, please don't praise them, since the princess doesn't dislike them. They are rude, and the old man will definitely take them to the palace to meet him when he has the opportunity in the future.”
Everyone present also vaguely heard that the Xiangqing Houfu took good care of Princess Duan before she got married. Now that they heard what Princess Duan said, they were sure of those rumors. It seems that Princess Duan is indeed very close to her uncle's family, and she has not been in vain for the care given to her by the Xiangqing Houfu.
Everyone is a woman, and naturally understands the secrets of the back house. It seems that Princess Duan and Changde's palace can't get close. In this case, in the future, there is no need to pay too much attention to Duanwang's mansion when dealing with Changde's mansion.
Qu Yuesu listened to everyone's conversation, with a soft smile on her face, as if she didn't know what everyone was saying. Seeing that the dishes were served one by one, she affectionately asked the girl to put a spicy rice tofu on Qu Qing Ju. In front: "My sister remembers that the eldest sister loves this dish. A few days ago, my mother instructed the servants to make this dish well. The eldest sister tried it and did not like it."
The white tender tofu is sprinkled with green chopped green onions, bright yellow millet peppers, and red chili oil. It looks really delicate. Qu Qing Ju smiled and nodded to Qu Yuesu: "Thank you sister." Her third sister is not a simple person.
"I ask the princess to forgive the servants for being rude, but there are certain things the servants have to say," Mu Jin bowed, respectfully and helplessly, "A few days ago, you were sick for more than half a month, and everyone in the house was worried about you. Spicy and greasy things. Now that I have finally taken care of it, let the lord allow you to go out... Don't forget the lord's instructions just now."
After hearing this, Mrs. Luo hurriedly persuaded: "This girl is loyal and protective of the Lord. I heard that the princess was sick earlier. Although the princess is filial, she should also pay attention to her body."
"It's okay, it's okay, this girl has served me for many years, and she is the most nagging, but I'm afraid of her," Qu Qing Ju seemed to sigh helplessly, "The old lady sent the tonic a while ago, I haven't been able to thank you enough. "
"To be offensive, the princess has grown up with her old body. As long as you are healthy, you will be fine. There is no need to say thank you." Mrs. Luo pointed to the pigeon soup in front of her. It's very suitable, ask the girl to serve you a bowl and taste."
Watching Mujin go to serve the soup, Qu Yue showed an embarrassed smile on her face. These remarks not only imply that the elder sister is ill and the Duke of Changde doesn't care, but also that her mother is not kind to the elder sister, and she doesn't even have much relationship with the elder sister. The Luo family, who was involved, sent tonics, but her mother didn't say anything. When this word spread, what kind of virtuous name does her mother have
After listening to these words, Mrs. Qu's smile did not change, but she looked at her daughter-in-law Liang a few more times.
Mrs. Liang, who was sitting on the side, also heard the meaning of what she said. She didn't expect Qu Qing Ju to be so sharp now, but she couldn't argue with it, so she could only laugh and say, "The princess is ill, why don't you let someone send a sentence to the government? If so, let Mother take care of you for two days."
"How dare I make my mother work hard," Qu Qing Ju was wiping the water droplets on the back of her hands after washing her hands, and when she heard Liang Shi's words, she pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "As the saying goes, the water spilled by a married daughter, where is her daughter? It can make my mother and father worry. There are many people serving in the palace, but it was a minor illness, so I had the nerve to let everyone know about it. Even the old lady Luo and my aunt sent me something to know that I was sick, I just found out about it from my aunt."
This is even more obscure and ugly. The word "dare" mentioned by Princess Duan is enough to remind people of how the Liang family treats other people's daughters in the backyard.
Seeing with a smile that Liang's family was run down by herself, Qu Qing Ju began to shut up and feast. She was not afraid of ruining her family's reputation, and she was not afraid that her husband's family would hate her because of her family's reputation. Anyway, a picked life can live as long as it wants. But she took other people's lives, at least before she can recklessly help others understand the past grievances. If one day Duan Wang really becomes the emperor, or if he fails to fight for the throne, and wants her life, she will not feel any regret. Whisper when you can, maybe one day you will die.
Qu Yuesu looked at the elegant Qu Qingju, and there was some indescribable complexity in her heart. Although her mother didn't like her very much, she had some sympathy for the eldest sister in private, so she also sent some jewelry and playthings that she did not like to use to the eldest sister. But now the eldest sister who needs her sympathy is already a princess who even her grandmother treats politely, and she might be subservient to her in the future.
Thinking of this, Qu Yuesu frowned slightly, why did she feel an indescribable anxiety in her heart
When the banquet was over, the Qu family led everyone to the large courtyard outside to listen to the play. The stage has already been set up, and the men and women are separated by a high screen. Although they are in the same courtyard, they can only see the stage opposite.
The first play was "Magu's Birthday". Qu Qingju sat on a chair and looked coldly at Mrs. Liang who was walking towards her with a sandalwood box in her hand.
Is this Liang's going to act in person
☆、
"This box should have been handed over to the wangfei long ago, but when the wangfei got married, he forgot about it in a hurry," Liang Shi handed the box to Mujin, and after seeing Qu Qingju taking the sandalwood box from Mujin, she continued to choke. "I've been keeping it for years, and I'm finally waiting for the day it will be handed over to you."
The color of the red sandalwood box seems to be a few years old, but it still has a touch of sandalwood in the hand. The gold-plated lock is made into a cloud shape. The lock on the top has been opened. You'll know what's inside.
The hand touching the lid of the box paused slightly. Deep in her soul, she seemed to feel her body's obsession with the box. She could feel the helplessness and resentment of a helpless little girl.
Slowly opening the lid of the box, it was covered with fine brocade, with a jade pendant on the brocade. The fine mutton fat jade was carved into the shape of a gourd, and the gourd was vaguely engraved with a pattern of peanuts, and the words "hundred years of longevity". She was shocked, and some memories resembling movie clips came to her mind. The original Qu Qing Ju always wanted to get this jade gourd from Liang's family, but Liang's family always made things difficult, and now this person actually handed it over on his own initiative, and even pretended to be a good person in front of so many people, she was afraid of coming. I will embarrass her in the future.
"My elder sister had someone prepare this jade gourd back then, but then my elder sister went to the fairy, and after a lot of fuss, the people from the jade shop brought the things to my hands," Liang said with red eyes, " My sister Hongyan passed away early, and I only care about you, the princess. In the past, I was worried that the princess would lose the things that my sister left you when I was young, so I picked it up for you. Now that the princess has grown up, this jade gourd should also be handed over to the princess. You keep it." She glanced at Qu Qing Ju up and down, and said with some emotion, "Now that I see the princess like this, my elder sister will be happy in the spirit of heaven."
Reaching out and taking out this jade gourd, it feels very smooth and moist. Because it is small, it does not weigh much in the hand. It can be imagined that the Tian Shi wanted to hang the jade gourd on her body when Qu Qing Ju was in a hundred days.
The nobles here have the custom of giving their children a hundred-year-old ceremony. When the child is a hundred days old, the elders will personally put on the child a mascot that means a hundred years of life. Most of the mascots have auspicious patterns such as auspicious clouds and peanuts, and are printed with the words "long life", which means that they can lock their lifespan and the gods will bless their children with a hundred years of life.
Pity the mother's heart in the world, Tian Shi died at a young age, and outsiders said she died of qi disease, but in the end, she still thought about the woman who ordered jade gourds for her children. Is she really so vulnerable and angered? The so-called mother is strong, Tian Shi is not the temperament of sadness, how can he be willing to die of qi disease in his daughter who was born not long ago
"I have heard from Mammy Gao that my mother ordered a jade gourd as a 100-year-old gift not long after I was born. It's a pity mother, you asked Mammy Gao to return to her hometown for retirement ten years ago. I have never seen it before, and I never thought that my mother had been keeping it for me." Holding the jade gourd tightly, Qu Qingju put the jade gourd around her neck in front of all the female relatives, her eyes were slightly red, "Body gourd." My mother is tired of being pregnant for ten months, and my mother still misses me until she dies, but I can't repay one or two, it's my great unfilial piety." In her previous life, her parents died in a car accident, but she was still the one who missed her the most just before her death. Seeing this jade gourd now, I only feel that my heart is blocked and uncomfortable, and I feel that the people of Changde Gongfu are extremely disgusting, which makes people feel sick.
"Princess," Mu Jin looked at Qu Qing Ju worriedly when she saw this, but as a slave, she couldn't open her mouth to comfort her.
"My son wants to be raised, but I don't want to wait..." Qu Qing Ju stood up and looked at the smiling Liang Shi, the emotions on her face gradually dissipated, and her face gradually became expressionless, "Mother treats Qing Ju's heart, and Qing Ju will never forget it in this life. In the future, Qing Ju will definitely repay her mother's loving heart over the years."
Mrs. Qu has been uneasy all the time, but now that Qu Qingju has spoken so frankly, the warm expression on her face can no longer hold back.
"Today's father's birthday, I should have stayed a little longer, but there are so many things in the palace, I have to say goodbye," Qu Qing Ju bowed slightly to Mrs. Qu, "The granddaughter is leaving now, ladies and gentlemen, we will meet again in the future."
Everyone saw that Princess Duan's face was not worried, but they didn't force it to stay. Liang's stepmother did such an ugly thing, how could Princess Duan hold back. Not to mention Princess Duan, this kind of thing is unbearable for a child in this world.
Mrs. Qu couldn't sit still, so she had to get up to deliver Qu Qingju in person. Princess Duan, whose biological mother died young, left with red eyes at her father's birthday banquet without listening to the show. Up and down, what face
Everyone got up to see the guests, but Qu Qing Ju stopped them when they sent them to the outside of the hall. She had a smile on her pale face: "You are welcome, ladies and gentlemen. In the future, I will invite you ladies to have a good gathering."
Everyone agreed, but Mrs. Qu wanted to send another gift, but was stopped by Qu Qingju. She smiled and said, "My grandmother is so old, how can you keep sending your granddaughter away? Isn't that the granddaughter's filial piety?" After finishing, he instructed Mujin who was beside him, "Let someone tell the lord, I'll go back first."
Mrs. Qu couldn't, she could only watch Qu Qingju leave, turned around and gave Liang Shi a cold look, and returned to the theater with the hand of the concubine Qu Huixue for the first time ever. People in the world often talk about marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, but now that Duke Changde has a woman like the Liang family, he will lose his family sooner or later.
As soon as Qu Qingju left, many of the female relatives who came to attend the birthday banquet on Duan Wang's mansion got up and said goodbye one after another. Within half an hour, most of the guests on the female family's side had left.
On the male guest's side, as the prince, He Heng naturally sat in the VIP seat, with Qu Wangzhi sitting behind him. He had no interest in making faces, so he didn't pay much attention to the other party, but even so, there were still many people there. Courtesy in front of him.
As soon as the song "Magu Heshou" was finished, Qian Changxin came over and whispered a few words beside Duan Wang. Qu Wangzhi, who was sitting behind Duan Wang, heard the word "Princess" faintly.
"What?!" Duan Wang frowned slightly, and his face with a polite smile turned completely cold. He put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and the blue and white tea cup made a crisp sound.
Noticing that Duke Chang De's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know when it made the prince angry. The others also pretended to look at Duan Wang unintentionally.
"The way of hospitality at Duke Changde's mansion really opened my eyes to this king," Duan Wang sneered and got up, "Qian Changxin, let's go."
"Your Highness, this is..." Duke Changde knew that something was wrong, so he rushed forward to accompany him. I have long known that Duke Changde and Mrs. Gui have a deep relationship, but this king's concubine is also the daughter of the father-in-law, so if you treat me like this, is it possible that you look down on me for Duan Wangfu?!" After speaking, he did not wait for Duke Changde to respond. , walk away.
All of you adults were stunned for a while, and it took a while to react. Many of them have heard about the past of Changde's mansion, but they are all men and don't care much about this kind of thing. It's just that they didn't think that the people in Changde's mansion were so stupid. No matter how slow the mansion was to treat the deceased Tian's daughter, but now she is Princess Duan, and to treat her slowly is to treat King Duan slowly. Slap on the face
Even if Duan Wang's temperament is much better than Rui Wang's, he can't bear such a face-slap. It seems that this Changde Gongfu is getting more and more confused. At the moment, everyone got up and said goodbye, no matter how ugly Chang Degong's face was. Even the lord is angry. What are these people still doing here? Can't tell Duan Wang, wang ye, you are angry with you, we are good buddies with Duke Changde, and we have to drink tea with Duke Changde here and listen to the play
Chang Degong was confused, and their minds were still normal. At this time, it was better to leave Weiwei earlier. Only the poor Duan Wang and his wife came to celebrate their birthday, but they were so stupid that they left the table.
The originally lively birthday banquet suddenly turned cold and quiet, and Duke Chang De was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and when he heard the babble on the stage, he became even more bored, and said angrily, "What else is there to sing? Get off!"
"Father," Qu Wangzhi supported him worriedly, "don't be angry, take care of your body."
"What body do I want!" Duke Chang De was reluctant to push his only son away, so he threw another teacup in anger, "Go and ask your mother, what happened to make King Duan so angry?!"
Qu Wangzhi glanced at the little servants standing around. He didn't want his father to mention his mother, so he persuaded: "My grandmother and mother must be in the backyard at the moment, why don't we ask together."
Liang Rong, who was standing aside after sending the people back, also persuaded: "The matter has not yet been clarified, uncle does not need to be so angry, it is not too late to make plans after clarification."
Duke Chang De reluctantly suppressed his anger and entered the backyard with an ashen face.
As soon as He Heng got into the carriage, he saw that his princess' eyes were reddish, obviously she was sad, and the anger that had been suppressed rose up again: "Who is wronged by the princess, tell this king, this king will vent your anger."
Qu Qing Ju raised her head and looked at him, and seeing the anger in his eyes, she said, "Who can make Princess Duan feel angry, it's just that I can't help but think of the past."
"I came with you today to support you, so don't lose your face." After thinking about it, He Heng added, "Not only today, but in the future, you don't have to let anyone else in the palace. ." After saying this, he noticed that Qu Qing Ju had a delicate jade gourd on his neck, so he took a second look.
"The lord is not afraid that the concubine will act arrogantly in the future and ruin the reputation of Duan Wangfu," Qu Qingju touched the jade gourd on her chest, the warm touch made her smile.
"Wang Fei is an ignorant woman," He Heng looked away and smiled, "Moreover, if you are Qing Ju, it's okay to be arrogant."
Looking at each other, Qu Qing Ju slowly looked away, revealing a gentle smile.
Who would believe this
☆、Concubine Jing summoned
What happened in Changde's mansion finally spread throughout the capital's aristocratic circles. The most important thing in the capital was the dignitaries. Once the news spread, Changde's father really had no face to listen to the intentional or unintentional sarcasm in other people's words. Every time I go to court, I can't wait to rush back to the house as quickly as possible.
The last time I went to the backyard to ask what happened to Liang's family, but when I went in, he saw Liang's crying and was very sad. He also knew that being a stepmother was not easy. Now that the eldest girl has become a princess, Liang's family can only respect, even if she is a stepmother. When she was angry, she could only endure it, but she also wronged her.
They are all girls from Changde's mansion. How come the third girl is so considerate and sensible, and the big girl is so worry-free. Now that her family has no face, it is impossible for her to be a married daughter.
Liang Rong was walking in the courtyard, just when he saw his uncle hurried over in anger, he hurriedly took a step back and greeted Duke Changde. Duke Chang De was not in the mood to pay attention to him at this time, nodded to him and strode away, causing Liang Rong to look at him a few more times.
"Master, what's going on, Master Gu?" the servant who followed behind him worriedly, "It doesn't look very good looking at him."
Thinking of the rumors in Beijing these days, Liang Rong frowned. Because of the difference between men and women, he didn't meet Qu Qingju, his nominal cousin, but every time he saw her in his memory, she liked to keep her head down and didn't like to talk too much. step. With her aunt's temperament, how could she be unable to hold such a little girl
Nowadays, the reputation of Changde's mansion is not good, and even some people say that the daughter of the Liang family cannot be married, and the reputation of the sisters in the family is ruined, which makes him a little uneasy. The person who offended this time is not ordinary people, but Duanwang, the second son of the emperor. It is not so easy to suppress the rumors.
However, he had already heard that Concubine Shu, the mother of King Rui, and Concubine Jing, the mother of King Duan, were not dealing with each other. What's more, now that the emperor is very old, and several princes are all grown up, the emperor's favorite is King Rui. Recently, it has been frequently reported that the emperor wants to make King Rui the prince. No harm.
After Qu Qing Ju heard Huang Yang's joke about coming to Changde's mansion, she ate half a bowl of rice in a good mood at noon, and in the afternoon rewarded the servants in the main courtyard.
The princess's actions made the uneasy people in the main courtyard puzzled. It stands to reason that the princess should be angry about this. Why doesn't it seem like that
Some people also inquired with Huang Yang, but unfortunately this boy Huang Yang looks young, but his brain is very good, and he can't open a word.
No matter what these servants did, Qu Qing Ju also sent the other concubines' greetings for the past two days. She just carefully sorted out the memories in the mind of the original master of her body. After all, these memories are not her own, they are like movies in her heart. Fragments can be seen and impressed, but there is no sense of substitution.
After figuring out everything, Qu Qing Ju just had nothing to do to enjoy the flowers, read books, and eat snacks until the arrival of Nanny Zhong Jinggong.
The owner of Zhongjing Palace is the residence of King Duan's mother concubine Jingfei, and this nanny is here to spread the words of Jingfei. The main idea is to hear that her daughter-in-law has recovered from her illness, and the mother-in-law misses her, so she will take her two side concubines to Zhongjing Palace for a sit tomorrow.
In the end, it was just that Concubine Jing felt uncomfortable when she saw that her daughter-in-law had not come to greet her for a long time. In this dynasty, being a mother-in-law and not putting on a show in front of your daughter-in-law, how can you be worthy of the anger you feel when you are a daughter-in-law? Of course, there is also an enlightened mother-in-law, but her luck seems to be not so good, and she did not encounter such a good thing.
Since the mother-in-law wanted to see her, she, as a daughter-in-law, of course, had to obey the wishes of her elders. She sent two girls to the two concubines to inform them of the matter, and Qu Qingju put the matter aside.
After He Heng returned to the main courtyard in the evening, he mentioned this to Qu Qing Ju.
"I heard that the mother-in-law wants to see you tomorrow?" After the two were turned upside down, they lay peacefully in the bed, and He Heng said as if suddenly remembered, "You have been ill for more than a month, and you can't go to the palace to greet you. It's not yours, it's not. I've already asked Qian Changxin to prepare the gift, and I'll go to the mother-in-law tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about the rest."
Qu Qing Ju stretched out her index finger and curled He Heng's hair, humming. In my memory, this concubine Jing was always dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, but because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, she barely maintained the relationship on the face. But even so, in her words and deeds, there is still a bit of contempt.
In the memory of the original owner, he was in awe of Concubine Jing, and it seemed that every time he entered the palace, he was in awe.
