I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 52 No regrets

The unplanned cooperation between Wan Qiuyu and Xiao Minghuan today can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Although there were not many guests who saw this scene, everyone had their mouths to tell. The wedding banquet was not over yet. Most of the guests knew that Wang Minghui fanned the concubine daughter of the Duke of Zhen into the lake. It was Wang Minghui's future husband-in-law, King Duan, who rescued him.

In addition, Xiao Minghuan's words that Wang Minghui "slaps people frequently and pushes them into the water" also spread.

Wang Minghui had no face to continue staying in the palace, and Mrs. Wang took her back to the palace in a hurry.

As for the other party, Wan Qiuyu, he returned to the palace with Shen Qing.

Wan Qiuyu on the carriage knew what she would face when she returned home, but she didn't regret it at all.

If she doesn't start early, she will have to obey the family's arrangement and marry out of town.

No matter what he thought in his heart, there was a look of uneasiness and self-blame on his face.

Shen Qing's complexion was naturally not good-looking, she would not naively think that Wan Qiuyu's falling into the water was an accident.

To put it bluntly, nine out of ten cases of falling into the water at a banquet are due to various calculations.

Wan Jinlan looked at Wan Qiuyu, who had her head down and her eyes flushed, and said suddenly, "Second Sister, at the mansion that day, a servant girl saw you taking Prince Duan to the courtyard."

Wan Jinlan felt that she was not qualified to criticize Wan Qiuyu's behavior today.

It was she herself who had done extraordinary things in Yangzhou in order to find a man she liked.Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, so she dared to indulge a little bit.

As for Wan Qiuyu, she took a fancy to Xiao Minghuan, and it was understandable that she wanted to fight for herself, it was all for her own future.The most important thing is that she has not affected the reputation of the government today.

She had some doubts. Did the two of them discuss this matter today?

At this time, Wan Jinlan exposed her just to tell her that someone saw your behavior, so put away the suit on your face, and don't want her mother to bear the anger of her grandmother after returning home.

Wan Jinlan also acted out of selfishness and exposed her because she always felt that this second sister was weird.

Shen Qing and Wan Qiuyu were taken aback at the same time.

Shen Qing's expression became serious, and she looked at Wan Qiuyu, what else did she not understand.

Wan Qiuyu's heart beat faster for a moment, then calmed down again.

She warned herself not to be nervous, anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion, Duan Wangfu, she is settled.

"Second sister, the family that your grandmother and mother met you with is outside the capital, but you will definitely be the main wife in the future."

The apprehension and regret on Wan Qiuyu's face disappeared, but his head was still hanging down, and he didn't speak.

Shen Qing asked: "Do you know the difference between a concubine's room and a wife's room? Do you know the difference between a legitimate son and a concubine's daughter and a concubine's daughter?"

Shen Qing felt that she had misjudged her vision. These days in the mansion, the nanny often said that Wan Qiuyu behaved well and was very diligent in learning the rules. In front of the old lady and her, she was considered polite and interesting. She still regarded her as a Smart, but he didn't expect that he had his own thoughts and went to the concubine of the palace.

"Do you know that the children of the concubine's room can't even call their own mother?"

Wan Qiuyu lowered his head and did not speak.

Her heart was complicated, and she could still tell clearly whether Shen Qing had good intentions or was just pretending.If it was a mean headed mistress, it is possible to blame her for losing someone to the government at this time.

"Thank you mother for your kindness. I don't regret it."

After a long silence, she said firmly.

That's all, Shen Qing has nothing to say.

After returning to the palace, Wan Qiuyu was fined and grounded.

If Wan Qiuyu was really thrown into the water by Wang Minghui, the old lady wouldn't treat her like this, after all, she was a victim.

But Wan Qiuyu is not a victim, she has her own scheming, she is dissatisfied with the government's arrangement for her, she wants to earn her own future, she rushes to become Xiao Minghuan's concubine, and she makes the relationship between the government and Xiao Minghuan more serious close connection.

The gilded three-legged incense burner in the Jinchun Hall was burning with calming incense, and Wan Jinlan was rubbing her grandmother's shoulders and neck.

Seeing that her grandmother was not in a high mood, she comforted her and said, "Grandmother don't have to worry, Prince Duan and Auntie are mother and son in name, and the relationship between the Duke's mansion and Prince Duan is no worse than the second sister."

What she said was the truth, no matter what was going on inside, between Xiao Minghuan and the Duke's mansion, because of Concubine Wan Gui, they were in the same camp.

The old lady sighed: "Forget it, she is going to rush to become a concubine, if I don't fulfill it, she will still be a villain in her heart."

Even though Concubine Wan Gui is the No. 1 queen in the palace, and the emperor's concubine is different from ordinary concubines, but it still cannot change the fact that noble concubines are also concubines.

In the imperial edict that year, her daughter became the side concubine of the palace, and the old lady has always been brooding in her heart.Due to the chaos in the imperial city back then, she never wanted to marry her daughter into the royal family. At that time, the royal family was not as stable as some aristocratic families.

As for the granddaughters of the Duke's mansion, no matter if they were concubines or concubines, she never thought about sending them to any mansion as concubines.As a granddaughter of a concubine, with the family status of the government, it is entirely possible to find a family of not high family status to be the regular wife.

It's just now, that's all.

Anyway, it's not long since she returned to the mansion, so she can do whatever she wants, and the mansion won't be too close to her in the future.

After the old lady figured it out, her expression relaxed.

In fact, she could force Wan Qiuyu to marry outside the capital, but she estimated that Prince Duan would not let it go.

At the beginning, it was not possible to calculate the eldest son's concubine's daughter, so it would be a good thing to accept a concubine as a side concubine.

The old lady guessed right, Xiao Minghuan really thought so.

The next day he went into the palace to pay his respects to the noble concubine. The noble concubine heard Anyang tell about what happened in the Guangling Palace yesterday, but this time she was happy to see him.

When someone came in, as expected, he came to beg the second lady of Jiang's mansion to be her side concubine.

"Miss Wang doesn't know what to do. My son-in-law was eager to save people yesterday and ignored Miss Wan'er's reputation. Since this is the case, my son-in-law is willing to accept Miss Wan'er as his side concubine, and I hope my concubine will agree."

Although the side concubine is also going to be the royal jade butterfly, Concubine Wan Gui, as the mother concubine of the nominal king, still has the right to decide the candidate for the side concubine.

Concubine Wan Gui didn't agree immediately, and wanted to ask the government for advice.

Looking at the young man standing respectfully below, Concubine Wan Gui knew very well that Xiao Minghuan was determined to tie the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to his warship.

She doesn't know what will happen to the court in the future, but it doesn't look like a bad thing for someone who puts the backyard of Prince Duan's mansion in a public mansion at this stage, and besides, she is just a mere concubine.

After the old lady delivered the words to the palace, the imperial concubine asked the queen for instructions, and the queen gave the order very happily this time.

In the eyes of the queen, her natal niece is the main concubine of Duanwang, and the niece of the noble concubine is the side concubine, a concubine. This situation is just like her and the noble concubine, and people from the Wan family will always be dominated by her surname Wangfei.

why not?
