The matter of sending Miss Zhao and Pan'er into the palace caused some disturbances in the Chen family, especially recently the third and fourth wives have often found trouble for the eldest lady.
We all know that the third and fourth wives were annoyed by the eldest lady, and the servants had a lot of discussions in private.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Pan Er instructed Cattail Qingdai to go out and spread the word that the second lady was forced by the eldest lady to agree to let the eldest lady's niece enter the palace.
Originally, the second lady wanted to stay out of the matter and instigated the third and fourth wives to fight with the eldest lady. She naturally let these words go, and thought that the slaves would do things, and rewarded many people. This made some servants of the Chen family feel that they had understood their master's intentions, so they spread these words a lot, causing a commotion.
Naturally, it spread to the ears of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady was annoyed. On the surface, she was fine, but in private, she often targeted the second lady, and the two of them fought like a raging fire in the ring.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, the master and servants of Chen's mansion have all abandoned their jackets and put on spring shirts.
Pei Yongchang was generous, and once mentioned that he wanted to buy clothes and jewelry for Pan'er, but was rejected by Pan'er.
Although she has reached a private cooperation with Pei Yongchang, but she is in the Chen family at this time, and it is one thing to miss one thing. If she attracts the attention of the second lady, not only the disc is in danger, but also Pei Yongchang, the son-in-law.
After all, Pei Yongchang is a man, how could he understand the secrets of the inner house, after Pan'er's advice, he felt that it was a wise choice for him to buy Pan'er in the first place.
He valued her very much in his heart, on the surface he couldn't do anything, and he had to avoid suspicion, but in private, he stuffed money and bills on the plate, so that she could just use it, and he had more money if he didn't have much.
Not to mention these trivial matters, the second lady ordered someone to recruit Pan'er to go to Yunxia Courtyard this day.
Pan'er knew that the second lady didn't like her, let alone wanted to see her, so she was very puzzled. She went into the room to dress up, but ordered Aunt Qing to talk to the messenger girl.
Aunt Qing stuffed the girl with a dime, and the girl revealed the truth.
It turned out that the girl named Dan'er didn't know what the second wife asked Pan'er to do, but she only knew that she also invited the first wife's niece, Miss Zhao.
After a while, the tray came out.
She wore a lake-colored hang silk plain gown with a pea-blue pleated skirt, her hair was simply pulled up, and a simple silver hairpin was inserted.
The clothes are all half-new and not old. They can't look more shabby, but they are very suitable for Pan'er's identity.
Before coming out, Cattail also said that Pan'er's clothes were too plain, not as bright as Miss Zhao's. These days, Pan'er never went out without going out, but Cattail went to see Miss Zhao in private, not to mention all kinds of wealth, beauty and beauty, Catpot was afraid that Pan'er would be compared to others.
It's just that Pan'er's thoughts couldn't be explained too clearly with her, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Pan'er took Qingdai, followed Dan'er, and walked along the narrow road all the way to Yunxia Courtyard.
Halfway there, two people walked towards me.
A man was nearly middle-aged, with a fair face, long eyebrows and handsome eyes, wearing an indigo blue straight gown, and a jade pendant of suet white jade around his waist, full of elegance. One was dressed like a follower, obviously this middle-aged man was a certain master of the Chen family.
Seemingly not expecting someone to come, the middle-aged man looked up, paused, and landed on Pan'er.
Dan'er pulled Pan'er to avoid the master and servant, and squatted down to salute: "Second master."
Pan'er fixed her eyes and looked over.
But he only glanced at it, and then saw the other person's eyes coming straight to her, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Chen Pingwu withdrew his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Although Dan'er was a little puzzled in his heart, why the second master would ask such trivial matters, but he told the truth, saying that the second wife asked Miss Pan'er to come and talk.
Chen Pingwu knew a little about the affairs of the family, and the Second Madam had been whispering some sour words in his ears recently, saying what about the Da Furen and the Crown Princess.
Let Chen Pingwu see that the situation in the palace is complicated, the princess cannot support her alone, and the family can no longer send her daughter into the palace, but the eldest wife's family is from the Zhao family in Henan, and Chen Qinghua, the eldest son of the eldest son, married the daughter of the Zhao family, so she will be carried into the East Palace soon. The concubine, Zhao Xiyue, is the younger sister of Chen Qinghua's wife.
This kind of relationship couldn't be more intimate, and it can avoid the emperor's suspicion, but the women and children in the back house of the second wife are ignorant, and always feel that the eldest lady is deliberately tripping her up.
It's just that Chen Pingwu wouldn't talk about this kind of thing in detail with the second wife, anyway, she wouldn't listen to it.
The identity of that plate is self-evident.
But her looks...
The second master had already passed by, but Pan'er could still feel a gaze on her back.
She walked forward with her back stiffened, and she gradually realized something that had been in her mind for a long time.
It's just that she didn't care to think about it, and in the blink of an eye, she had already arrived at Yunxia Courtyard, and she also met the well-known Miss Zhao——Zhao Xiyue.
There was no Zhao Xiyue in the previous life, and Pan'er didn't know if it was because she didn't win over Pei Yongchang to disrupt the situation in the previous life, so this woman didn't appear. But now the two seem to have an intersection, not to mention what will happen when they enter the palace in the future, the second lady called her and Zhao Xiyue here today, obviously it is not for nothing.
Fei Cui said that the second lady hadn't woken up from her afternoon nap, so she asked the two to wait in the banquet room, and ordered the girl to bring tea and fruits.
When the maids went down, there were only two people left in the banquet room.
Zhao Xiyue wore a lotus-blue butterfly and flowered Hangzhou silk beanie, a sky-shuibi skirt, her jet-black hair was combed in a cloud bun, and she wore a golden silk red jewel hairpin. Her skin was like snow, and her face was like a begonia. Very beautiful.
Compared with her, Pan'er is much poorer.
Zhao Xiyue's eyes only stayed on Pan'er for a moment, then moved away. She had long heard that the trustee of the second room had found a thin horse in the south of the Yangtze River, and planned to send it to the palace to help the crown prince.
Let her see, this kind of behavior is simply a joke, so what about a good appearance, don't you know that the crown prince has always hated sensuality, so naturally he would not like this kind of woman.
Nothing to be afraid of!
Pan'er gave such a wink, just looking at the corner of Zhao Xiyue's eyes, she knew how the other party missed her.
It's just that she has long been used to it, no, it's 'Pan'er' who has long been used to it.
Even in the previous life, the crown prince had to become a great treasure. Because she was an old man in the East Palace, she was first named a nobleman, and later became a concubine Li, because she was the servant of the crown princess. Even after becoming a queen, the crown prince still did not forget to suppress her. She could obviously live in a separate palace, but Empress Chen said she was reluctant to let her go, and shackled her in the Kunning Palace. She was clearly a master, but she was not even as good as a slave.
That's why everyone in the palace knew that she was from a humble background, and they looked at her with a smile on their face, but their eyes were contemptuous.
until when
It wasn't until Yue'er grew up that the queen still refused to let her go, and not only wanted her to be a servant for the rest of her life, but also made her son a servant of the prince, so she fought the queen cruelly and tried her best to beg His Majesty favorite.
Although she is nearly middle-aged, she has been with His Majesty for more than 20 years, and she is not on leave. The flowers in the palace bloomed and failed, and few of them were lucky enough to stay by His Majesty's side. In the past, she was evasive, and she only wanted to save herself and her son. When there was no way to retreat, she had no choice but to fight.
Fortunately, His Majesty still has her in his heart, and with her single-minded attention to win over her, His Majesty loves her more and more. When Concubine Li, Jin Li, and Imperial Concubine doted on the harem, this kind of gaze disappeared.
Until she later became the Empress Dowager, all those who looked down on her bowed down to her.
In just a split second, pan'er's mind flashed through the vicissitudes of life, and when she raised her head again, Zhao Xiyue was drinking tea from a teacup.
It is a top-quality jasmine scented slice, and Pan'er knows it just by smelling the scent, but there is something extra in it.
She only knows a little about medicine, and the only thing she knows is learned from Aunt Qing. The reason why she knows that there is something added in it is because she is so familiar with this fragrant tea.
Seeing Zhao Xiyue waiting impatiently, drinking tea one sip after another, Tray picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then spit on the veil while wiping her mouth.
The handkerchiefs are not made of silk. Nowadays nobles like to use silk handkerchiefs. They feel that the handkerchief surface is silky and soft, not to mention decent looking, and it is not easy to get dirty. Pan'er likes to use cotton handkerchiefs, which are made of absorbent fine cotton cloth. It doesn't look so shiny, but it's easy to use.
In the previous life, this cotton kerchief saved her countless times.
After wiping the corners of her mouth, Tray put down the teacup, and said softly: "Madam will be here soon, Miss Zhao should drink less tea, so as not to miss the cleaning of the room later."
Zhao Xiyue didn't expect that Pan'er would talk to her, so she glanced at her, said nothing, but took another sip of tea.
It was obvious that he didn't listen to Pan'er's words, but instead blamed her for being troublesome.
Pan'er sighed secretly.
Come on, benevolent to the utmost.
She still felt that Zhao Xiyue appeared because she let Pei Yongchang disrupt the situation. She wanted to remind her a few words casually, but if the other party didn't listen, she couldn't blame her.
At this time, the bead curtain on the flower cover rang, and Jade walked in first, then turned around and propped up the bead curtain again.
Seeing this, the two hurriedly stood up.
Not long after, the second lady, who was wearing a bright red peony gown sprinkled with gold and folded branches, came in accompanied by Ms. Liu.
The second lady sat down on the arhat bed with red sandalwood openwork carvings and plum patterns. Pan'er and Zhao Xiyue both saluted, and then sat down again under the signal of the second lady.
"Long time no see, Xiyue seems to be much prettier again."
"Thanks to Second Aunt's compliment, Xiyue thinks that Second Aunt looks even more radiant."
This is just a polite remark, the elder praised the junior, the junior will naturally reciprocate, but hearing it in the ears of the second lady, she can't help but think about the persecution of the big house, and seeing Zhao Xiyue's gorgeous attire is extraordinarily glamorous, she feels even more happy A bit of hatred.
Her eyes fell on the teacup on the red sandalwood table, and then moved away again, with a smile on her face, but she said that Zhao Xiyue's little mouth was even sweeter.
Because no one took Pan'er seriously, she naturally observed more, so she didn't ignore the second lady's small movements.
It should be tapped and the rules should be taught. This is the fingerboard, and it is Zhao Xiyue's second lady's turn not to teach. The second lady called them here today, it seems that she just wanted to 'drink tea'.
Sure enough, the second wife said some homely things to them, and then ordered the sisters to be of one heart and one mind. This was still for Zhao Xiyue to hear, so the two broke up.
After leaving the gate of Yunxia Courtyard, a sneer appeared on Zhao Xiyue's face.
Let her see that the Second Madam is a fight between trapped beasts, just to vent her grievances. Anyway, she will enter the palace in half a month, and she can't stand her for a few days.
"Sister Zhao." Pan'er nodded to Zhao Xiyue, intending to say goodbye.
Zhao Xiyue glanced at her with mocking eyes: "Who is your sister? I don't have a sister like you!" She deliberately emphasized the tone of that 'kind'. After finishing speaking, she snorted coldly and left with her maid.
Qing Dai hesitated to speak, Pan Er patted her hand reassuringly, smiled again, and then led her to the guest courtyard.
In the banquet room, the second lady was talking to Fei Cui.
After listening to Liu's mother's instructions, Fei Cui stepped forward and opened the two teacups to have a look.
"One is afraid that drinking too much tea will make you look ugly in front of the clean room, and the other is greedy for the high-quality incense sticks." This greedy drinker naturally refers to Zhao Xiyue.
After hearing what Fei Cui said, the second lady showed a smug smile.
"I'm not afraid that she will be rampant at this time, let her know how powerful I am sooner or later." She picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth, and said, "Anyway, they think I'm fighting a trapped beast, so they call them to drink every day these days Tea."
Both Mama Liu and Fei Cui were silent.
The second lady asked about how Zhao Xiyue and Pan'er got along.
Fei Cui replied: "My servant heard from Yin'er that Miss Zhao doesn't seem to think much of Miss Pan'er."
The second lady smiled proudly: "It's better to look down on her, let Li Rong's family give her more advice later, so that the two of them will fight to the death, so that I can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
The author has something to say: Tea is not a sterilizing drug, nor is there a medicine that can sterilize after drinking a bowl. Even if there is, it can't be scentless and colorless, who is stupid to drink it in the stomach. The next chapter enters the palace.
