After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

After hearing this, Sima Zhengde took his son and guards and strode towards Qinzheng Hall.

Ministers were not allowed to bring guards when entering the palace, let alone weapons. However, Sima Zhengde was the regent and he had always been domineering, so even if the rules were broken, no one dared to comment.

The people in the palace have become accustomed to the procession of the regent entering the palace. When they saw Sima Zhengde on the way, they all bowed and bowed, which was even more respectful than when they met the emperor.

When Sima Zhengde and his son arrived outside the Qinzheng Hall, the little emperor was already waiting outside the hall. The little emperor was only twelve or thirteen years old, but because he was in the whirlpool of power, he had lived a life of intrigue since he was born, so he Much older than his age.

If an ordinary child saw Sima Zhengde fighting like this, he would probably turn around and run away without being so frightened that he wet his pants. But when the little emperor saw him, he just frowned slightly and returned to his normal expression.

Sima Zhengde stepped forward, gave the emperor a symbolic greeting, and said: "Your Majesty invites you to come over, but do you have anything to discuss?"

The power was all in the hands of Sima Zhengde. The little emperor was just a puppet. He had no access to political affairs at all, and how could he discuss matters with others.

Although this is the case, the work on the scene still needs to be done.

The young emperor replied: "The cabinet has just handed over today's affairs, which are all matters in the palace. The regent is very capable. Since the late emperor has allowed you to assist in the administration, the regent will have full authority to handle it."

Sima Zhengde tried to say: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and I am just an auxiliary minister. Now that your Majesty has grown up, he has reached the age of personal administration according to the rules. Your Majesty still allows me to make decisions on court affairs. I am really frightened. I am afraid of doing things." If it is not appropriate, after the ministers have approved these memorials, they will order them to be presented to His Majesty. In the end, it is up to His Majesty to make a decision."

The little emperor smiled, waved his hands and said, "No need, I have made an appointment with some warriors to practice wrestling today. I will leave these court affairs to the prince to worry about."

After that, he took a few servants and left in a hurry.

Sima Chao looked at the little emperor's retreating back and whispered to Sima Zhengde: "I always feel that this little emperor is not as simple as he appears."

Sima Zhengde snorted disdainfully and replied: "It's just a child with a yellow mouth."

As he spoke, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and follow my father into the palace to manage the affairs."

After seeing her aunt off, Love from Sima's mansion originally wanted to go find Sima Chuyu to chat with her to relieve her boredom. Unexpectedly, as soon as she changed her clothes, someone came and reported that Wang had invited Jingzhong today. Several noble ladies came to the house to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. Wang asked Love to accompany them.

Although Wang is a step-mother, she is nominally Love's serious mother-in-law.

In this world, the mother-in-law is the daughter-in-law's god. If the daughter-in-law is not filial to her mother-in-law, that would be a treasonous act.

Naturally, Love would not be filial to the Wang family who had framed her, but she would not give her any chance to suppress herself.

Love knew in her heart that Wang was setting a trap for her.

If she didn't go, it would be dissatisfied with her mother-in-law. She had just married into the Sima family, and the ladies coming and going would definitely use this to laugh at her lack of etiquette. But if she went, Mrs. Wang would definitely not let her relax.

In short, whether to go or not is a matter of course.

But for a smart woman like Love, she is the least likely to follow other people's tricks.When she heard that Mr. Wang asked her to accompany the noble lady, she immediately agreed. Then she put on her makeup again, changed her clothes, and with only her two maids Yuzhu Lantian, she slowly headed towards the garden where Mr. Wang was entertaining the noble lady. And go.

Fragrant tea and fruits have been placed in the garden, and more than ten prominent ladies from the capital have also taken their seats.

As the daughter-in-law of Sima's eldest daughter, Love arrived late after all the guests had arrived, which was obviously very rude.

So, as soon as Love entered the garden, the dozen or so pairs of eyes looked at her one after another.

Wang, who was sitting at the top, frowned and said angrily: "Afu, why did you come here?" After saying that, he smiled apologetically at the ladies beside him and said, "This is the elder of our family. The young master’s bride’s name is Afu. This child has just entered my Sima family, so it is inevitable that there are some irregularities in the rules, which makes you laugh.”

Although the noble ladies had different expressions when they heard this, they were all people of high status. Seeing what Wang said, they all agreed: "It's just a children's home, and we are not outsiders. What Mrs. Sima said , that’s serious.”

Although he said polite words, his eyes as he looked at Love couldn't help but look inquisitive.

The marriage of the eldest son of Sima naturally attracted much attention. Everyone in the capital knew that Sima Chao had married the daughter of a former criminal minister, so everyone couldn't help but be curious about Luo Fu. Now when they first met her, it was This lack of etiquette inevitably made everyone more curious.

Faced with the many looks of contempt, exploration, disdain, or laughter from everyone, Love remained unfazed at all. She slowly stepped forward, bowed slightly to everyone, and said slowly: "I am concubine. As the daughter-in-law of Sima's parents, I am late to my mother-in-law's banquet today, which is really rude."

Everyone was chatting with each other, but their eyes were still glued to Love.

Love didn't care about everyone's gaze. After bowing to everyone, she bowed slightly to Mrs. Wang, who was in charge, and then said, "My daughter-in-law, it's rude to be late. It turns out there is a reason."

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard what Love said.

Mrs. Wang had experienced Love's prowess and knew that she was smart. Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Wang interrupted her and said, "I've said it all. I don't blame you. It's not a big deal. Let's get over it. , we are about to listen to a play, Afu just take your seat soon."

Luo Fu sneered in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She slowly replied: "Although my mother-in-law and distinguished guests are not to blame, etiquette cannot be broken. I am leaving a scholarly family. If I can't abide by these etiquette, wouldn't it be insulting?" Home door."

As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Wang: "The reason why I came late is because Concubine Su encountered a problem when she was taking care of the house's accounts early in the morning. She couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she asked me to come over for help. I am in Su's house." I stayed at my concubine's house until noon before returning home. When I got back to the yard, I realized that my mother-in-law had called me to come late to entertain the guests. Speaking of which, the girls in my yard were ignorant. Since my mother-in-law called me, they should go to look for me at Concubine Su's place. I am the one, and I have already punished them for this, so I really did not mean to neglect my mother-in-law and distinguished guests."

After hearing what Love said, all the ladies present here turned their attention to Wang.

Wang was evil-minded and intolerant, and was not favored by Sima Zhengde. Therefore, Sima Zhengde had deprived her of the right to run the house and handed it over to Mrs. Su. Just to care about Wang's face and socialize with her, Sima Zhengde also allowed her to Come and do it.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang would not tell others about such disgraceful things. On the surface, she still pretended to be the powerful wife of the Sima family, so not many people outside knew the inside story.

Now that Love said this, how could everyone not be shocked.

What?Concubine Su handles the accounts?
All high-ranking families are headed by wives who manage accounts and housekeepers, but the Wang family has no power in the Sima family?It's actually worse than a side room?
