Fair Lady

Although Prince Yong was not in Beijing, the eldest daughter Qi Yuexin got married. As a father, he asked the housekeeper to prepare enough dowry money for Concubine Zhao early in the morning. A substantial gift.

The betrothal gift for the son's marriage and the amount of the dowry for the daughter were given in the letter a long time ago. The concubines and concubines are all the same, and this box of valuable gifts is considered an extra gift, which made Qi Yuexin suddenly feel Very proud and satisfied.

Concubine Zhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even had hope rekindled in her heart. It seems that the prince still attaches great importance to her two children and does not "treat them equally".Even if Qi Yuexin is like this, Qi Haoxiang is his son, so he will definitely not ignore it.

The concubine Zhao's mother and daughter, who were overjoyed, didn't think about it at all. Qi Yuexin was the first one in the mansion to get married. How did they know that the prince didn't prepare another gift for the next couple of marriages?

Uh, the main reason is that Prince Yong has too many "rules", and when the rules are set, people will strictly follow them. Everything is rigid, so the two mothers and daughters misunderstand.

However, it was precisely because of His lord's sternness that he separated the "dowry prepared in the house" from the gift given by his father.Dowry gift and dowry are fixed rules, so they have to be listed. The other gifts he prepares are random, and they cannot all be the same, so naturally he will not specify them first.

Qi Yuexin's dowry was solid (8 lifts, not less than that of ordinary daughters from aristocratic families (Chen Yueying, who got married a few days ago, was 238 lifts), but there is nothing surprising about the status of Prince Yong's Mansion.

Of course, if you compare it with the 388 of the second concubine Sima Yan last month.It fell behind.It's just that Sima Yan is the prostitute's daughter, and as a princess, she married the second prince.

If it was before, Qi Yuexin would definitely be jealous of Sima Yan, but now that she wants to befriend Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er, she is a little more "magnanimous".

Ruan Wenxin came from a poor family, and his family members were all poor relatives in the countryside, and the house where they got married was Qi Yuexin's dowry yard.Qi Yuexin also "borrowed" the money that should be spent, so naturally she didn't dare to invite too many people from the clan to Beijing, so she only brought her parents, younger siblings, and the clan chief and other clan elders over.

Therefore, the wedding banquet will not be held separately, but will be held together at Prince Yong's Mansion on the day of the return banquet.

Shuyao felt amused when she heard the news: "Will the new house be located in Prince Yong's Mansion too?"

Mother Liu smiled contemptuously: "Of course they thought about it, but it's a pity they don't have the guts."

The groom's family is not in the capital.There were few guests, and two banquets and one banquet were held directly in Prince Yong's Mansion, which barely made sense. There have been a few such examples.However, the bridal chamber must never be located in the woman's natal home, unless it is to recruit a son-in-law.

There are sons and daughters in Prince Yong's mansion, so no matter what, they won't recruit a daughter-in-law, right? (If that's the case. Whether it's Zhao's side concubine, mother and daughter, or Ruan Wenxin, they will all be very happy)

Princess Yuegui is not interested in attending Qi Yuexin's wedding banquet.But this is Shuyao's first visit to Prince Yong's Mansion, and she really wants to represent her brother and accompany her future sister-in-law.

It's good for the Queen Mother to think about it. First, it will help the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of each other and cultivate their relationship. Second, Prince Yong's Mansion is Qi Yueling's home, so it is time to show up at the right time, lest some people forget who belongs to Prince Yong's Mansion Honorable daughter-in-law.

So she notified Mother Luo and Uncle Gui, the housekeeper, one day in advance that Qi Yueling would return home for one day.Just rest in Zhiyuanyuan, but will not stay overnight in Wangfu.

This morning.Qi Yuexin and Ruan Wenxin returned home, and the relatives of the Ruan family and the elders of the clan also came together, because today is not only a homecoming banquet, but also a wedding banquet for the Ruan family.

Although Prince Yong's Mansion is not luxuriously furnished, it is the mansion of the Royal Prince after all. It was built with care, and it is naturally magnificent.

On the lintel of the main entrance of the Wangfu, the four characters Yongqinwangfu are flying like flying dragons and phoenixes, which were written by the emperor himself and stamped with a jade seal.

Entering the palace, the large courtyard is covered with small courtyards, red bricks and green tiles, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions... It makes people dazzled and envious.The Ruan family's eyes are too busy, their hearts beat faster, their legs and feet tremble. Are they the in-laws of Prince Yong's mansion in the future?Ruan Wenxin is also very proud, he has invited many colleagues today.

Although he is only a son-in-law (son-in-law) and Qi Yuexin is a married aunt, the prince and the son-in-law are not at home, are they?His mother-in-law, Qi Yuexin's mother-in-law is the head of the palace.Moreover, Qi Yuexin said that her father and king always looked at them differently.The big box of "extra dowry" that Prince Yong specially sent back from the southwest was hard for him to see in his life.

Well, in the future, he must often accompany Qi Yuexin back to the palace for a short stay, so that he can entertain his colleagues and Jinshi of the same discipline in Prince Yong's mansion, saving face and not having to spend on himself.

As soon as Qi Yuexin arrived at the palace, Qi Yuexin wanted all the servants in the palace to come and see her son-in-law. Although Concubine Zhao thought it was inappropriate, she also knew that Qi Yuexin wanted to show off in front of the Ruan family, so she helped her after thinking about it. Anyway, it's just a formality, and the guests haven't arrived yet.Of course, the chief steward, those who are in charge of the outer court and the servants of Zhiyuanyuan don't need to be called (mainly because they are not within her scope of authority, so they can't be called), and the Ruan family doesn't know how many servants they have in the palace, do they?

Unexpectedly, Ms. Zhao looked puzzled: "Master...Master, except for those who are on duty, all the servants went to the gate with the steward and Mrs. Luo to welcome Princess Yuegui, who said it was Princess Yuegui today I want to go back to the residence." She also just found out, and was about to find a free time to report to Concubine Zhao, but who knew that the eldest girl had such a demon moth.

Qi Yuexin looked arrogant: "Hmph, it's rare that Princess Yuegui also knows that she will come back to congratulate me as a big sister." It must be the father's confession, or I heard the father's "uncertainty" about her big box. pain".

Concubine Zhao smiled wryly, how is it possible?This daughter is so self righteous.

Sure enough, Mother Zhao murmured in a low voice: "The steward said, the empress dowager ordered that Princess Yuegui came back to receive the prospective sister-in-law Princess Fuxing, and no one else is allowed to disturb her. The small kitchen of Zhiyuanyuan is in charge."

Concubine Zhao's back tooth socket hurts from biting, it's fine for Qi Yueling to stay in the palace, anyway, everyone already knows that Princess Yuegui was raised in the palace since childhood.But I came back today, and I can't be "harassed by anyone or anything" when I come back. Isn't this a slap in the face of their mother and daughter.

Qi Yueling's status was originally nobler than Qi Yuexin's. Now that the word "gui" has been added to her title, she is even more comparable to a princess. She must also be the first-in-law princess who is favored by the emperor and queen mother, such as the little princess Zhuyu and the fourth princess.

If Qi Yueling did not attend Qi Yuexin's wedding banquet, no one would say anything, and it would only make more people believe that the rumor that Qi Yuexin pushed Qi Yueling into the water back then was true.

Qi Yuexin also realized at this moment, her arrogance condensed on her face, turning into shame and anger: Qi Yueling, that dead girl is too much!The queen mother's grandmother is too eccentric. Isn't she surnamed Qi, the daughter of the father and king?

Ruan Wenxin and the rest of the Ruan family below didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, and they couldn't hear the whispered words of Concubine Zhao and the others. I want to come back and congratulate my big sister."

Ruan Wenxin suddenly felt that his back became straighter, yes, Princess Yuegui is his sister-in-law, so he has to be called brother-in-law.It seems that my wife's status in the palace is indeed not low, but because of her status as a concubine, she didn't get the title of princess.

Zhao's mother groaned again with tingling scalp: "Master... Master, I... shall we also go to welcome Princess Yuegui?" They are going to be greeted at the gate, not to mention that the identity of Princess Yuegui is becoming more and more precious now.

Concubine Zhao woke up like a dream, yes, she almost forgot her "duty" as a concubine.When Qi Haoning returned home from the south last time, she wanted to greet him, but unfortunately she didn't know when he would come back.

When Qi Yuexin got excited, she forgot to lower her voice: "I'm not going, why should I go to meet her?"

Mother Zhao didn't speak, she lowered her head, she is a slave, just a reminder, with side concubine Zhao here, the master will naturally make a decision.

After all, Ruan Wenxin is a scholar who has become an official, and he is proficient in etiquette and rules: "Madam, although Princess Yuegui is my younger sister, she is also a princess of super rank, and etiquette cannot be discarded." Alas, if he married Prince Yong's mansion How good is the first daughter?There is no need to worry in this life.

Zhao side concubine pushed the boat smoothly: "Isn't it? Look at what stupid things you said, Wen Xin is much more sensible than you. The guests are coming soon, and the second concubine and Princess Fuxing are also going to go when they arrive. welcome."

She regretted inviting Shuyao a little, if Shuyao didn't come, that little bitch Qi Yueling wouldn't come back home suddenly, would she?But, how can you not invite?Don't talk about coming back later, she still has to invite, and if Shuyao doesn't accept the invitation, they still have to worry about being made fun of.Said he was not invited?Everyone will think that their mother and daughter are bewitched, or that they are guilty and afraid of refusing to invite them.Speaking of which, in everyone's eyes, Princess Fuxing's willingness to accept the invitation is due to her tolerance. After all, she is the future mistress of Prince Yong's Mansion.

Matriarch?Concubine Zhao's nails pierced her palm, but they pierced her heart full of bloody holes.Xia Shuyao will marry Ji next year, and after that, as long as Qi Haoning returns to Beijing, he can get married.

Qi Haoning never sent them a message, and she didn't know when she would come back. She prayed every day that Qi Haoning would never come back.

Concubine Zhao heard the mother's words again, perhaps, she and her children can only have a way out in the future if they really belong to them.The man was right, it did her no harm whether they succeeded or not.

Concubine Zhao's eyes darkened, and she made up her mind that she could help them, but there was a condition, they had to get rid of Qi Haoning, so that he could never return to the capital.
