Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Zhao Xifang had no choice but to raise the price all the time under the suspicious eyes of Jiang Changning and De Wang Shifei, and bought the third lot donated by the empress with 16 taels of silver.

Nineteen red and blue diamond-shaped phoenix-shaped hairpins are inlaid. The entire hairpin is hammered with gold leaves, with a crown of flames on top, a flower-shaped tail, and knife-shaped wings.

There is also a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg dangling from the phoenix's beak, emitting a dazzling light.

Although this phoenix hairpin is exquisite and auspicious, but it cost more than 16 yuan, which is too expensive. Zhao Xifang's heart is bleeding.

Mrs. Sui Guogong and Shizi were sighing, none of the three pieces of jewelry donated by the empress was taken, and now only the one donated by the empress dowager was left, which must be taken down.

Otherwise, she would not be able to explain to her in-laws when she returned home.

Many ladies had the same thoughts as her, so the bidding for the third lot was one after another, and the competition was fierce.

Jiang Changning and the others, who already have lots in their hands, are now sitting on the hills watching tigers fight.

"10 million taels."

"One hundred thousand and three thousand taels."

"11."

The price is rising steadily, and the price increase is also large, which is a bit like not treating silver as money.

After some bidding, Mrs. Sui Guogong's wife bid 22 taels of silver for this set of six top-quality emerald heads.

After the auction was over, Princess Ding invited everyone to go to the banquet hall for dinner.

At the banquet, the women's relatives were tired of talking and talking during the auction, and there was harmony.

On the other side of the male guests, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Prince Ding pointed to the dancers in the hall and asked with a smile, "Brothers, how do you look at these beauties?"

"It's very pretty." King Yu said with a smile.

Prince Qing's son said: "Charming and moving."

Prince Jin and Prince De both smiled without saying a word, Prince Ding's eyes flickered slightly, he wanted to give the beauty to these two.

Prince Ding smiled persistently and said: "You two cousins ​​don't like these beauties?"

King Jin smiled lightly: "It's just some stuff, there's nothing you don't like."

"A group of vulgar fans, only my cousin is a treasure." Prince De's son sneered.

Prince Ding smiled and said: "That's right, how can they compare to the beauty of the two cousins' families."

Both Prince De's son and King Jin's face darkened, and they asked sharply: "Helian Kai, how many cups of yellow soup have you drank, and there's no guard on your mouth?"

One said with a sneer: "People say that there are no rules in the palace, so I will treat the rumors as false. I will find out today that it is true. It is true that father is not father and son is not son, mother-in-law is not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not daughter-in-law."

Seeing that the two were angry and their words were very serious, King Yu and Prince Qing hurriedly smoothed things over, "Talk quickly, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"That's right, talking and laughing among brothers, having fun."

King Jin and Prince De were not persuaded by these words, but became even more angry.

The brothers were joking, it was okay to talk about women, but not their first wives.

Even a man who doesn't like his wife has to protect his wife's face outside.

Wives and husbands are equal, and insulting a wife is like insulting oneself.

What's more, both of them are people who love and respect their wives, how can they allow others to use their wives as a topic for fun.

The King of Jin said: "As the saying goes, if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. King Yu married a talented woman, so it is no wonder that her words smell sour."

This is insinuating that King Yu's speech is like farting.

Prince De's son said: "Prince Qing's mansion can even be a concubine, and you can enjoy anything you want. No wonder Cousin Guoyao doesn't go to the Piaoxiang Pavilion now."

It's just a matter of saying that Prince Qing's Mansion is like Goulan Courtyard.

King Yu and King Qing's sons' faces turned dark, and King Runan, who had not dared to say anything, raised his glass and said, "Drink and drink, I respect my brothers."

Ding Wang Shizi also knew that he was too hasty to do things. Now that the beauty has not been sent out, and he has offended people, he went down the steps given by King Runan, "Brothers, don't be angry, you also know that I have never been able to speak , if you offend me, please don’t mind me, I will punish myself with three cups.”

He drank three glasses of wine while talking.

Prince Yu and Prince Qing gave him face and held up the cups.

"Since there is no good banquet, there is no need to drink this wine. Let me leave." King Jin and Prince De got up and walked out.

The music in the hall prevented the people at the other tables from noticing the verbal quarrel between the few people, but the actions of King Jin and Prince De caught their eyes.

What's wrong?
Provoking Jin Wang and De Wang's sons to leave early.

Prince Ding never expected that the two of them were really going to leave, so he hurried to catch up, "Brothers, can't it be enough for my brother to apologize to you here?"

"No need, I'm afraid of eating, and I'm choking." Prince De's son said in a strange way.

King Jin walked to the door and told Chang Youzhong, "Go ask the princess to come out, just say something, and you have to go back."

"You follow along and let the imperial concubine come out." Prince De's son also ordered his personal servant.

The female relatives don't drink, they have already vacated the remaining seats, put tea and snacks, and are drinking tea and listening to the opera.

On the stage, the actor is singing: "After the wedding, I don't feel that the time is like an arrow, and the youth is still beautiful and beautiful. Take the car and go around the long street."

Chang Youzhong came in, glanced at him, found someone, hurried over, "Princess, the lord has something to go back to the mansion."

Prince De's personal servant also said the same thing as Prince De's concubine.

Jiang Changning and Princess De Wang looked at each other. How could it be such a coincidence that both of them had something to do at the same time, and they wanted to return home early?

The two didn't talk much to ask, they greeted Princess Ding, got into the sedan chair arranged by Princess Ding, and went forward.

When they arrived at Yimen, they found that not only Jin Wang and De Wang's sons, but also Ding Wang's sons.

Prince Ding's son was full of bitterness, while King Jin and Prince De's sons looked indifferent.

Jiang Changning and Princess De Wang exchanged glances, showed decent smiles, and each called their respective men: "My lord."

"Sir."

Seeing the two of them, King Jin and Prince De's faces softened, with smiles on their lips.

"My brother has written down the hospitality of the Prince's Mansion today." King Jin put down these words and went forward to welcome his little princess.

"It's as you wished, so why bother to put on a show." The son of De Wang waved his hand and went to welcome his own son and concubine.

Ding Wang Shizi pursed his lips and squinted his eyes. They sat in the carriage and drove away, sneering, "I don't know how to praise you."

Sending a beauty is a temptation and a solicitation.

Jin Wang and De Wang's sons did not accept it, that is to say, they explicitly rejected his kindness.

On the carriage, Jiang Changning asked King Jin, "What happened?"

"Don't worry, nothing happened."

"Nothing happened, why did you leave the meeting early and go home?" Jiang Changning asked sharply.

"You're talking about that." King Jin smiled, "It's just a vicious dog trying to bite someone, and was beaten back."

"Is there no problem with such a sharp knife and clear gun?"

"The vicious dog is coming fiercely, and there is no way to retreat." King Jin put his arms around him, "Don't be afraid, I can protect you."

Jiang Changning smiled, looked up and said, "I'm not afraid, tell me, I'll be more careful."
