On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 402 A lot of discussion

Chu Lixuan originally thought that this year's birthday party for Concubine Su would be held separately in the palace and harem as in previous years, and Ning Muqing would sit at the table attended only by female family members.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would like to hold a good event this year and make it grander and more lively.

A good birthday party, even those young ladies and gentlemen who are of suitable age to get married.

what is this?

A special and alternative blind date party? Let the unmarried young ladies from each family look at each other.

But today, Ning Muqing refused to go to the birthday banquet with him!

This is simply infuriating!

If he had known that Mrs. Su's birthday was today, he would have allowed Ning Muqing to leave alone.

She was dressed so ostentatiously today, what if she was targeted by someone's young master?

Chu Lixuan touched the ring on his hand with some irritability, as if there was a nameless anger swirling in his heart.

He was so careless.

He might as well say nothing to force Ning Muqing to stay with him.

But the problem came again. That woman Ning Muqing was very self-aware and very stubborn. The more he asked Ning Muqing to do something, the less Ning Muqing would listen.

[Ah, what a difficult woman]

Chu Lixuan thought of Ning Muqing's temper, and felt that he became more annoyed.

……

Half an hour later.

The carriage arrived at the palace gate smoothly.

At this time, it was just dawn, but the entrance to the palace was extremely lively. The invited carriages were parked neatly at the entrance of the palace, waiting for inspection by the guards.

In order to be safe enough and to quickly complete the inspection and let everyone into the palace, there are many more guards on duty today than before.

However, even if so many people were arranged to check, it was still blocked.

The security at every palace entrance is very tight. Carriages are not allowed to pass through the palace. All dignitaries, daughters, and young ladies who enter the palace to attend birthday banquets must get off the carriages. Only after the guards have checked that they are not carrying any sharp weapons can they get off the carriages. Under the guidance of the palace maids and nuns, they entered the palace in an orderly manner.

Because there were so many people invited, the various procedures went very slowly. The daughter-in-law didn't stick to any etiquette at this time, and got out of the car one after another and started talking with people she knew.

The so-called three women in one drama.

This group of women also liked chatting and gossiping when they got together. After a while, the women's low-pitched chatter and laughter could be heard at the entrance of the palace.

At this time, someone with sharp eyes glanced at the carriage team. The four carriages of Prince Ning's Mansion were very eye-catching. Someone exclaimed, "Isn't that the carriage specially used by His Highness Prince Ning? Why didn't His Highness Prince Ning advance in advance last night?" Enter the palace?"

"I heard that the concubine is also going to attend Mrs. Su's birthday today."

Several ladies looked at the carriage.

"She didn't attend Mrs. Su's birthday in any year." A lady sneered in a sinister way, "She is obviously just a concubine. She got lucky and became Prince Ning's concubine. In the end, she is just a concubine. A concubine who cannot be put on the table,

She doesn't behave properly in front of her concubine, and attends various banquets all day long as if she is the empress of the palace. She is shameless and equal to us, the principal concubines. I feel disgusted when I see her like that. "

"Who says it's not?"

Another lady next to her simply covered her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent the look of contempt on her face from being too obvious. She said, "Then what else can we do? After all, this concubine Zhao is also the concubine of Prince Ning, and Prince Ning is also the concubine. We didn’t stand up and say anything, and we couldn’t say much, so we could only endure it.”

"I heard that the queen likes Concubine Zhao very much and often lets Concubine Zhao into the palace. It really gives her a lot of face."

"Let's not talk about whether this queen can still be the queen. It is not certain. When the queen was still in glory, she invited Concubine Zhao to enter the palace. It was not because she wanted to find Concubine Zhao, but she clearly wanted to win over Prince Ning..."

"Why don't you look for the princess to win over Prince Ning, but instead look for a concubine?"

"You don't know this, right? Two years after the concubine Zhao married into the palace, Prince Ning has never married a main concubine, so Zhao Sijing's status has also risen with the tide.

Moreover, the current concubine is not the one that Prince Ning wants to marry and is not liked by Prince Ning, so the Queen feels that Zhao Sijing, who has been with Prince Ning for many years, is more honorable.

Otherwise, getting married is an opportunity to change a woman's destiny. Her husband's status and favor are more important than anything else. Zhao Sijing has already become famous through the big tree of Prince Ning, and the queen will not care about her background. "

A trace of jealousy flashed across the face of the lady who spoke in a low voice, and her tone became sour as she said, "Look, look, I was just a sparrow that couldn't get out of your mud before, but now it can fly up a branch and become a phoenix." Okay, let’s learn from others’ methods.”

"Pfft..." The ladies next to her were instantly amused by her words.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In the rivers and lakes society, birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups.

Even in the capital, a place where noble ladies from different families look up and down, there are different small groups and factions. It is only when people complain about each other that they form a close relationship. The thing that can bring a group of women closer together is that they have An equally hostile nasty woman.

There are many people in the capital, and there is no shortage of people who praise Zhao Sijing and his wife who is courteous to Zhao Sijing because of Chu Lixuan.

It's just that the few who were discussing in front of Prince Ning's carriage did not belong to their small group.

Zhao Sijing is a unique example among the upper class circles in Beijing. There are many people who like her and praise her, but there are even more people who hate her. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of status.

She was born as a concubine, and she was only a concubine, not the main wife.

In the capital, only the head wives can attend various banquets and palace banquets.

Moreover, the women Zhao Sijing wanted to associate with were also regular wives.

The Zhou Dynasty was not a dynasty that often talked about the distinction between concubines and concubines, and men were not limited to three wives and four concubines. Basically, every family had one or two favored concubines.

The concubine and the main wife were not on the same level of interest.

There are also many wives who have lost their favor to their concubines.

No real wife would like a woman who was born a concubine and loves to play around.

By nature, they are enemies.

Zhao Sijing was a concubine, but she always wanted to be on an equal footing with the main wife, and even hoped that they, the main wives, would please her. This ambitious look was enough to make everyone hate her.

It's just that Prince Ning is the God of War. For Prince Ning's sake, the ladies won't speak very harshly in front of him, but they will chew a lot behind their backs.

Zhao Sijing has always known those people who dislike her, so she is very unwilling to do so.

She has been working hard to make herself look very favored and beautiful, and wants to smash the faces of those who look down on her.

Zhao Sijing was sitting in the carriage far away. When she opened the curtain, she saw a large group of ladies gathered together, with bright smiles on their faces and no idea what they were talking about.

Zhao Sijing has always known who disliked her and recognized them at a glance. She remembered that these people had often laughed at and looked down on her behind her back, and she couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Majesty, there are too many carriages parked at the entrance of the palace. We may not be able to get through for a while. How about walking into the palace?" Zhao Sijing said tentatively, "I see people queuing up to enter the palace not far ahead. If you There shouldn’t be a queue to get off the bus, and it should be faster.”

Chu Lixuan didn't think much and said coldly, "Well, get out of the car."

Zhao Sijing was at the side and diligently opened the curtain.

the other side.

The lady who was paying attention to Prince Ning's carriage here immediately saw someone getting off the carriage.

They pulled each other and said, "Stop talking! His Highness Prince Ning seems to be getting off the carriage. It would be bad if Prince Ning hears us discussing this."

"Humph, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, so what if you heard it? What we said was not made up of nothing!" A lady said unconvinced, "The concubine Zhao is just a concubine. Is it possible that His Highness Prince Ning is still a concubine?" What can you do to us for a concubine?"

"You should be careful. Even if it is a concubine, it is also the prince's concubine. It is the royal concubine. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. After all, today is the birthday party of Concubine Su. We can't make it too ugly for the sake of face, right? .”

The lady beside me said softly.

At this time, one of the ladies noticed something was wrong, "Do you think it's strange? Two carriages came from Prince Ning's Mansion today. Look, there's another carriage in front of them that is also from Prince Ning's Mansion."
