The beauty of the lady

Chapter 217 Good news (4)
Also present were Concubine Li Wu, and Concubine Zhong Guo. I heard that the current King Zhong is still crazy and stupid, but every time he sees his concubine, it is like seeing a cat and a mouse.

Because the two had no heirs, they adopted a son from a declining family of the Ye family. This year, they are already in their teens, and they are almost at the age to discuss marriage.

This time Princess An invited all the wives and their children who were above the third grade in the capital, and of course there were also those who were on good terms with Zhou Mei, and naturally there were also those who had a feud with her.

The two sisters of the Chen family looked at Zhou Mei very unkindly, especially Chen Xiyu, her position, which she had dreamed of, was completely shattered now, and her marriage was hastily settled.

Although the Duke Huguo's mansion is still beautiful now, her marriage is a bit difficult, and it seems that everyone in the capital is avoiding their Chen family.

The Chen family, which used to have hundreds of female family members, became so angry when they came to her. It was all the fault of that woman.

Here, Concubine Wu looked at Zhou Mei, and felt a little emotional in her heart. The daughter of her good sister has become her sister-in-law. That ninth younger brother is really capricious.

"Meier, you have been married for half a year, but there is still no movement?"

Zhou Mei looked at Concubine Wu, then at her stomach, and said with a smile: "My lord thinks I'm still young, and we discussed that it won't be too late to have a child next year."

Princess Guo couldn't help laughing loudly when she heard the words: "Ah, when did our ninth younger brother become so sympathetic to women and jade? , I don’t know how many people in this world are born with their eyes closed, and they can’t even see their own children.”

Concubine An Weishi gave Princess Guo a hard look, "You mouth, don't talk nonsense at this time, my daughter is not going to be born next month, if you want to scare me out, I will It's not over with you."

"All right, all right, my brother and sister said the wrong thing. Third sister-in-law, don't bother with us. My brother and sister, I am a rough person. I don't understand those twists and turns. Besides, Linghui is a good girl and nothing will happen. , to ensure that the mother and child will be safe."

"It's almost there."

"Shouldn't your boy be kissing?" Concubine Wu looked at Concubine Guo and asked with a smile.

Concubine Guo sighed, "That's right, he's 14 years old this year, and it's time to marry him in two years. As far as our Zhongwang Mansion is concerned, the woman I like may not be willing to climb up the pole." , I can't look down on it, what do you think it should be?"

As soon as this sentence was finished, the two laughed. Princess Wei raised her hand and pointed at Guo Shi and smiled: "You, no matter what it is, as long as you are really a good girl, no matter what your family background is, you are fine. Why bother?" Pick and choose."

"Third sister-in-law doesn't know, she loves her son very much, but it's strange to say that she has no intention of official career, but like the three, she likes to write and draw. Now it seems that she must find him a Only talented women can do it.”

"That kid is not that pedantic. He likes to draw some canals and so on. I don't know if he will go to the Ministry of Households to specialize in water conservancy in the future. In the south, it rains and floods every three or two years. This is also true. Serving the country, right?" Concubine Guo defended her son.

"Look, look, we haven't said anything yet, we've explained it here. We don't know that your child is an honest and responsible child of the royal family, as it should be."

"Sister-in-law San, I love to hear these words. What does it have to do with us to be an official in the court, to be appointed as a marquis and worship a minister? As long as the children and grandchildren are safe, it is better than anything else. Anyway, this world will always belong to the Ye family. On the contrary, it was easy.”

Princess Wu took a sip of tea slowly, "You might as well say that you don't want your kid to suffer."

"What's wrong with this, the sixth sibling is willing to let your son suffer?"

"Okay, I can't say enough about you, so I won't say anything." Concubine Wu waved her hand for forgiveness.

Afterwards, some wives came one after another, and they all went back to their seats and sat down after meeting Zhou Mei and the others.

The three sister-in-laws around her were all talking about their children's issues. Zhou Mei couldn't talk to them about this, so she could only look at the people and scenery around her, occasionally picking up some fresh fruits and tasting them contentedly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Xuan Qingrong looking at her eagerly.

"Okay, stop looking, come and sit next to me." Zhou Mei raised her hand to greet her.

Then Xuan Qingrong stood up and ran over happily.

"Cousin, you don't talk to me when you come here, I thought you don't remember Rong'er." Xuan Qingrong squeezed a soft couch with her beside her, holding her arm and complained with a small mouth .

"How come, no one can forget you girl."

"Hey, Rong'er already knows that cousin is the best."

"You came here by yourself today?" When Zhou Mei came in, she saw no one from the Duke's Mansion.

Xuan Qingrong shook her head: "My sister-in-law is back too. The princess is afraid that so many people will accidentally bump into my sister-in-law, so she asks her to come back when the show starts."

"That's right, our Rong'er will be an aunt soon, are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. The imperial doctor said that sister-in-law's belly is a little nephew. I don't know what it will be like. It's fun to think about it."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Princess Wei stopped her and said, "Oh, my good girl, my little nephew is not for you to play with."

"Don't worry, princess, Rong'er will play with him."

Princess Wei patted her chest pretending to be frightened, "That's good, that's good."

Knowing that she did it on purpose, Xuan Qingrong still felt a little embarrassed, took an apple, and gnawed it slowly while leaning sideways.

When it was almost time for people to arrive, Princess Wei got up and arranged for the troupe to come in. The troupe was on the shore outside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and they could be seen very clearly from here.

As the maids brought in all kinds of fruits and snacks, the theater troupe over there had already started.

"The nine younger brothers and sisters read the playbooks and order whichever one they like. This actress has a very good voice, and the little songs can be sung very well."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law San." Zhou Mei took it over, and seeing that there were thirty or forty songs written on it, she casually selected two with better names. After all, the imperial concubine was drunk in the previous life, and Shiro visited his mother.

After Princess Wei watched it, she smiled and said to Zhou Mei: "The Ninth Brother and Sister have good eyesight, and I also like these two songs very much."

After being explained, Zhou Mei tasted the delicious crispy snacks, Meimou looked at the stage and listened very intently, as if other things could no longer disturb her.
