Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 271
When paying his respects the next morning, Xiao Nuo really asked, "Ma, concubine, what is the regulation for this year's wine, you are inconvenient, you can ask your son and daughter-in-law to take care of it for you."

Before Princess Ning could speak, Prince Ning spoke first: "This year, the palace will not invite New Year's wine."

"Ah, how is this possible!" Xiao Xi who was standing beside him exclaimed.Inviting New Year's wine is a good thing for the public to pay for him and his brother to expand their contacts. How can they say that they can't do it?

Prince Ning gave his second son a hard look, and said with a stern face: "What's wrong! Your mother and concubine are pregnant, how can you still work so hard! You only want to have fun with the New Year's wine, but you don't want to invite the New Year's wine!" How hard it is to drink, how can your mother and concubine's body bear it!"

Xiao Xi was yelled at by his father once, and he answered "yes" in a low voice, then lowered his head and dared not say anything.

Seeing that his younger brother was being scolded by his father, Xiao Nuo's thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately smiled at his father and said: "What the father said is very true, but this year is the first year that the third sibling has just entered the family. I have known relatives, if we don't invite New Year's wine this year, people will say that our palace is disrespectful. The son is just as worried about the health of the mother and concubine as the father and king, and does not want to make the concubine mother work hard. But the concubine mother already has three daughters-in-law, and the trivial matter of buying new year's wine can be arranged by the Cheng family and the second younger siblings. The imperial concubine asked the question in person."

Prince Ning was a bit hesitant. Originally, he had discussed with the concubine not to have a New Year's wine, but it made sense to hear what the elder son said. The youngest daughter-in-law has just entered the house. If you don't behave decently with her, outsiders will look down on Xiao Ze even more in the future. The third son of Prince Ning.He hesitated and said, "This..."

Du Heng, who was standing by the side, saw that he was lying on the gun, so he stood up and leaned forward, and said slowly: "Father, my daughter-in-law has something to say."

Prince Ning immediately said: "Daughter-in-law Ze, if you have something to say, feel free to speak up."

Du Heng said eloquently: "Reporting to the king, the daughter-in-law thinks it is better not to invite the New Year's wine. The mother and concubine are in need of rest now. Even if there are two sisters-in-law who are in charge of the New Year's wine, they must see the female guests. It is not good to see too many foreign guests and the concubine's pregnancy. For the sake of the concubine and the fetus, it is better to wait until the concubine gives birth to the baby brother next year, and then hold the third party and the full moon banquet. As for the daughter-in-law that the elder brother said just now, I have not seen Having relatives is not a big problem. Even if we don’t see each other this year, there will be no future. The days to come will be long. My daughter-in-law wants to serve her mother and give birth to her little brother before she recognizes her relatives. It’s fine for the daughter-in-law not to go out and walk around. Besides, the relatives know the situation of our palace, so they won’t pick it up if they think about it.”

Prince Ning listened to the third daughter-in-law's words which were reasonable and caring, and he was very satisfied, stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law Ze is very right, so I don't want to invite New Year's wine. You You are a good boy, father and king will not let you be wronged. When your mother is confinement, I will invite relatives and friends for you, so that you can get to know the relatives and old relatives of our palace."

Du Heng responded softly, and retreated to Xiao Ze's side, Xiao Ze turned his head to look at her, his eyes were so bright that the bright Du Heng dared not look into his eyes.

Xiao Ze in this room is full of affection for Du Heng, while Xiao You and Xiao Xi in that room are about to explode with anger.What is this called? They have already said that the father and king were moved, but they didn't want to be beaten back to their original form by Du Heng's few words, and the New Year's wine was still not invited.For no reason, they lost an opportunity to use the money and food from the public to build relationships for themselves, and also let the Cheng family and the Sun family lose a good opportunity to enrich their private pockets.

However, Xiao Nuo just made a point about Du Heng, but now he can't turn his face, and he has to bite the bullet and say: "The third brother and sister are so considerate of the mother and concubine, it is really the blessing of the third brother."

Prince Ning said solemnly: "Ze'er's daughter-in-law is not only the blessing of Ze'er, but also the blessing of our palace. Since she entered the palace, Ze'er's illness has recovered, and your mother and concubine are pregnant. Our palace has become more and more prosperous. .”

After hearing these words, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi felt that all their teeth were sour, while Cheng and Sun were both sour and hated. The two of them thought at the same time, what did the father mean by what the king said? Doesn't it count?However, what made Cheng and Sun even more depressed was yet to come.

Only Prince Ning said again: "Isn't Ze'er-in-law going to age next year?"

Du Heng didn't expect that the father-in-law would ask such a private question in front of everyone, and he couldn't help being taken aback, but Xiao Ze spoke quickly, and rushed to say: "Father, she is born on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and she will be born on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month next year."

"Oh, so Ze'er's daughter-in-law will have her birthday in three days. If Ze'er doesn't say anything, you will almost forget it as a father and mother." Prince Ning slapped his forehead and said in a rejoicing tone. "This is the first birthday of Ze'er's daughter-in-law who came to our palace. Although she doesn't want to put on a show and invite wine, she can't just pass by quietly. Ze'er, let's set up a banquet in your garden. On that day, my father, your mother, your elder brother, elder sister-in-law, second elder brother, second sister-in-law and younger sister went to celebrate your daughter-in-law's birthday, daughter-in-law Ze, do you like to go to the theater?"

Du Hengwan did not expect the topic to change so quickly. It had already changed from her own date to whether she likes to go to the theater or not. Once out?

Xiao Ze saw that his daughter-in-law was a little dazed, so he lightly touched Du Heng's sleeve. Du Heng came back to his senses, and bowed in response: "If you go back to my father, my daughter-in-law doesn't like to go to the theater."

Prince Ning nodded and said: "I don't like to watch operas. It's easy to handle. When the king passes on a small opera, I just order them to play music from a distance to add to the fun. It's fine not to let them sing."

Cheng's and Sun's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were sour with jealousy, and their resentment towards Du Heng also rose to a new height.If there were knives in their eyes, Cheng and Sun would have already cut Du Heng to pieces with their eyes.

Du Heng knew something was wrong, although she was not afraid of Xiao Cheng and Xiao Xisun, it didn't mean she liked to make enemies everywhere.Du Heng just wanted to live a peaceful life without disputes with others, instead of sinking deeper and deeper into the muddy water of Prince Ning's Mansion.She always thought that one day she could leave the palace and go to the south to live the life she really wanted.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your father's grace. It's just that the New Year's Eve is approaching, and everyone in the mansion is extremely busy, so it's better not to cause extra trouble. My father's kindness is appreciated." Du Heng walked in front of Prince Ning and bowed.
