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

Chapter 408: Fighting the flatterer

At this time, several more gorgeously dressed and noble ladies got off the sedan chair in the respectful attitude of the palace people. They walked over with their heads held high and their faces dignified and self-possessed.

As they walked all the way, they heard Mrs. Zhong Wubo's exaggerated compliments.

Mrs. Wenchang Bosong had a straightforward personality. She immediately sneered and interjected, "What is it? What is the most enviable thing in the whole capital! Sometimes, don't say this too early. If there is any joke or something, If someone shows up and slaps you in the face, that’s really hilarious.”

The compliments of the people present stopped for a moment, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look over.

The smile on Zhao Sijing's face also stiffened, and she couldn't help but look at them, narrowed her eyes and said, "So it's you!"

These are the few bitches who don't like her and can't get along with her.

One of the ladies covered her lips and laughed, "I heard those flattering words from a long way away. I thought to myself that the horses in this family can't be brought into the palace. When I walked in, I saw that it was Zhong. Mrs. Wu Bo is talking, and there are a few ponies, please forgive me for not being able to name them."

The ladies who were talking around Zhao Sijing just now said, "..."

Another lady looked at Zhao Sijing, curved her lips and said with a smile, "I haven't had time to congratulate Concubine Zhao on relinquishing her responsibilities as a housekeeper, and I haven't had time to congratulate Concubine Zhao on having another sister in the palace. How many more sisters are there in Prince Ning's palace? Concubine Zhao will not be lonely by then."

what?

Zhao Sijing loses her stewardship rights?

And Prince Ning’s Mansion will soon have a new member?

As soon as the lady opened her mouth just now, it was like dropping a depth charge into a calm fish pond, causing the whole place to explode.

Among them, Mrs. Zhong Wubo's reaction was the most exaggerated. She opened her mouth wide and her face turned red with a look of disbelief, "Mrs. Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? Who in the capital doesn't know that Prince Ning's favorite is Zhao Zi Concubine, the housekeeper rights were also given to Concubine Zhao. I didn’t hear any rumors about when they would take them back, let alone the news that Prince Ning’s Mansion was going to bring in a new person. Don’t open your mouth about such a borderless matter. Nonsense.”

It's not that Mrs. Zhong Wubo is sincere to Zhao Sijing, nor does she have a good relationship with her, so she is anxious to protect Zhao Sijing.

But at this time, she was slapped in the face, and she still wanted to maintain her own face.

After all, Mrs. Zhong Wu had just flattered Zhao Sijing in front of so many people. Not only did she compliment Zhao Sijing on how favored she was, she boasted about the good relationship between Zhao Sijing and His Highness Prince Ning, she also said that Zhao Sijing was also in charge of the middle feeder. Her life was really Make everyone envious and so on.

This compliment has already been spoken. There are so many distinguished ladies in the capital present, and they are all in the same circle. They are seen at every banquet.

If she was slapped directly in the face at this time, Mrs. Zhong Wubo would not know where to put her face at the subsequent banquet.

So no matter what others say about Zhao Sijing, even if it is true from time to time, she will definitely defend it and stand firmly on Zhao Sijing's side.

Zhao Sijing was shocked and frightened. She was very shocked at how it was revealed that her middle son was not in charge of her husband. She even wanted to ask these ladies who the so-called 'newcomers' were, but Mrs. Zhong Wubo spoke quickly and said it on the spot. Choking back these words, Zhao Sijing had nothing to say.

Since Mrs. Zhong Wubo likes this feeling, she might as well let Mrs. Zhong Wubo stand in front and act as a gun for her.

She has a submachine gun, she hides behind and pretends to be reserved and aloof, and she doesn't bother to argue with these people.

The noble lady sneered, "Mrs. Zhong Wubo, you'd better think through your thoughts before speaking. Are you saying that I am spreading rumors?"

"Is not it?"

Mrs. Zhong Wubo blurted out.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhong Wubo was grabbed hard on the arm, which hurt her smartly.

This action was a reminder to her.

Mrs. Zhong Wubo received the pain signal and suddenly woke up. Looking at the ladies in front of her who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her heart suddenly rang with a thump.

broken!

She had just acted on impulse.

She only cared about her own face, but did not pay attention to the ladies present, none of whom she could afford to offend.

These people came in in sedans, she came in on foot, and all of them seemed to be the wives of officials above the first rank. The children in their families were also promising. Not only were they bound by official titles, but their natal family was even more prominent and had a strong backbone. Their husbands are even more powerful.

That's why they just dared to stand up against Zhao Sijing.

The circles in the capital are also divided into different levels.

The top circles are naturally the relatives of the emperor. For example, Concubine Su and Concubine Shu are top noble ladies, as well as the empress, princesses of various families, marquises, etc. The wives of various court officials were the wives of the emperor's relatives.

Women are divided into two factions, civil and military.

Needless to say, there are military generals, headed by Mrs. Wu, Marquis of Wuling. Mrs. Wu is also recognized as having the highest status among the wives of military generals and the most prominent natal families. The wives who have close contacts with Mrs. Wu are also of relatively high status, because most of their men/ They are all first-class generals.

The civil servants are headed by the Marquis of Xiangyang, but the wife of the civil servants is not the current wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang (that is, the 'biological mother' of 'Ning Muqing'), but Mrs. Song of Ningyuan Marquis. She is the daughter of the princess and the emperor. A member of a relative, naturally of distinguished origin.

On weekdays, when Mrs. Song is not in the capital, she is the cousin of the Mrs. Song who just took the initiative to choke. Mrs. Song is standing up for her.

Mrs. Xiao Song was considered to be the second echelon of ladies in the official circles of the capital, and her status was on the same level as Mrs. Marquis of Xiangyang.

But what about Uncle Zhong Wu.

Princes, generals, and ministers are subordinate to the marquis. Although they can be called noble titles, they are still far away.

It seems that there is only a slight difference, but in fact it is a huge difference.

The position of Uncle Zhong Wu was originally a title passed down from the ancestors, but none of his descendants could take advantage of it, and no one could inherit the blessings of their ancestors, so it is gradually declining today.

Although the current Uncle Zhong Wu succeeded in inheriting the title, he does not have the ability to carry forward the family. He is like a transparent person in the court. He only has a title but no real power. He calls those who have face the honorific "Uncle" and ignores those who do not. He is just in name anyway, what can he do to these people with real power?

Compared with a lady like Mrs. Xiao Song who had a princess aunt, a husband with real power, a promising son, and a family heir, Uncle Zhong Wu was at best a fringe figure among the nobility of the capital.

There is a saying that goes, a husband is more valuable than his wife.

This feudal society is so cruel. If the husband has no ability and the husband's family has no face, then the wife's status will also be reduced.

Mrs. Zhongwu Bo, sounds like a concubine, but in fact, she is not even ranked among the wives of civil servants or military generals.

Because of her humble status, Mrs. Zhong Wubo could only be reduced to flattering Zhao Sijing.

A Mrs. Zhou said sarcastically, "Oh, I say that Mrs. Zhong Wubo is really treated with admiration after three days apart. She is so majestic. In front of so many of us, she dares to say that Mrs. Song is talking nonsense." , he might say some uglier words behind our back to set us up."

When Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth, she said Mrs. Zhong Wubo, so majestic and other words, very yin and yang.

Mrs. Zhong Wubo's face was also a little uneasy, and she said calmly, "Mrs. Xiao Song, Mrs. Zhou, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely didn't mean this."

"That's not what you mean, then what do you mean?" Mrs. Xiao Song said aggressively.

"I, I, I..." Mrs. Zhong Wubo hesitated for a long time, not knowing what she should say, let alone how to smooth things over. When she spoke again, her tone had softened a lot. She said, "I just feel, It’s better not to talk nonsense about this without evidence, otherwise it would be bad if there is some misunderstanding due to human-to-human transmission..."

Mrs. Xiao Song sneered, "I just said a word, and you have insulted me like this. Moreover, the noble Mrs. Zhong Wubo, how can you conclude that I am talking nonsense? Do you have a pair of eyes in Prince Ning's eyes?" On your body? Are you very aware of the affairs of Prince Ning’s Mansion?"

Mrs. Zhong Wubo, "..."

Several ladies nearby also joined in and said, "That's right. What Mrs. Song was talking about just now was clearly about Prince Ning's Mansion. What does it have to do with you? The Concubine Zhao of Prince Ning's Mansion hasn't spoken yet. Uncle Zhong Wu Madam is anxious to stand up first."

"Otherwise, Mrs. Zhong Wubo is said to be noble. I don't know. I thought Mrs. Zhong Wubo works in Prince Ning's Mansion, so she is so anxious to come out to speak for others. Didn't you see that the real owner hasn't come out to speak yet?"

Mrs. Zhong Wubo, "..."

awkward.

Embarrassingly capitalized.

Mrs. Zhong Wubo's face turned red, sometimes green and sometimes white, when someone said something, and she couldn't help but look towards Zhao Sijing.
