Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 28

Mrs. Yongning's daughter entered the palace as a concubine, she was Concubine Li. Back then, Yongningbo's family was not as prosperous as it is now, but now because it is the mother clan of the emperor's eldest son, King Qi, it is very prosperous.

Most of the aristocratic families in the capital are married, and she only learned a lot of these things during this period of time. The relationships inside are intricate, but it took her a lot of effort to write them down.

It stands to reason that King Qi and Murong Fu are also cousins.But he is a prince, so it is a great face to be able to come, which is naturally because of the relationship of the Murong family.

King Luo brushed off the tea foam, and said with a smile: "Yes, the elder brother is here too. Jing Lan has to leave now, I remember that I still have something to say to Miss Murong."

Xiao Jinglan was annoyed, did she have to say something in private?

"Really, I won't bother you, Miss San, thank you for the tea." He got up, looked at Yan Yan who was smiling, but felt ashamed to death.

Murong Wei replied: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Xiao Jinglan snorted and left the pavilion first.

Luo Wang looked back at her: "Are you familiar with Jing Lan?"

Murong Wei shook her head, "Who is familiar with him, but I have met him a few times, who knows that he is an acquaintance."

Familiar?
Luo Wang smiled: "You are eloquent, but the parrot you gave also has this ability. You taught those crooked words, right? The moonlight in front of the bed, Luo Wang sleeps soundly?"

Murong Wei smiled very gently: "Your Highness, a bird is not a human being, and it is inevitable to say something wrong. Your Highness is a noble person, so noble, so kind, why would you care about a bird?"

Luo Wang leaned on the back of the chair, and asked leisurely: "I don't care about it, but that day is my fifth younger brother's birthday, and your good parrot has made a big splash in front of my brothers. Now I Fifth brother asked me for one just like it."

Murong Wei was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, the little girl doesn't know how to train birds, you can find someone like this to train you a parrot and give it to the Fifth Prince, the little girl is afraid of offending the nobleman."

Please, it would be great to give him one, do you still want to buy one and get one free?
"Father also asked me, who gave me the bird? The whole palace knows that I have a special parrot. Father is very interested..."

Murong Wei's back stiffened.

After a while, I stood up and said, "Your Highness has to wait for a while before I give it to you. As for the emperor, the little girl is insignificant, so your Highness should not mention it."

Luo Wang nodded in satisfaction: "Then I will trouble you, Miss. I just want to send it to the palace, but I can't teach some crooked words, so as not to offend others."

Murong Wei replied: "Yes."

Fuck your sister, if you get cheap, you'll still act like a good boy.

Why is she so unlucky, she originally wanted to give him something to avenge her revenge, but who would have thought that a parrot would be added in the end.

This wolf that eats people without spitting out bones!

Murong Wei cursed in her heart, if she was in her previous life, this guy must have been a super capable boss, who squeezed out all the remaining value of the employees and had to sell herself to finish.

Seeing her standing aside respectfully, but staring at the embroidered shoes, as if there was something rare on the shoes, King Luo was in a good mood, "Then I will bother Miss."

"Your Highness, go slowly. The little girl will not see you off."

Smiling faces sent each other off, and Murong Wei stomped hard when King Luo was gone.

"Let me give you a parrot, do you have any money for me?"

She snorted and collected the things in the pavilion helplessly, her stomach growling, she was really hungry.

She'd better go back and have some dinner before we talk.

I think the banquet should be over now.

As soon as she walked out of the pavilion, she suddenly saw a black figure rushing out, which almost made her heart jump out of her throat in fright.

It wasn't until he took a closer look that he saw that the person in front of him was Xiao Jinglan.

"Young Master Xiao, why are you so scary?" Murong Wei snorted.

Xiao Jinglan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Why, I had a very happy conversation with King Luo, but I made a face when I saw me, why?"

Murong Wei smiled lightly: "Am I familiar with Young Master?"

Xiao Jinglan was so choked up by her words that he couldn't speak.

Look at her calm words, it is better than the lethality of a million soldiers.

This girl always knows how to hit people!

"Why, it seems that Miss San is forgetful?" Xiao Jinglan suddenly held her hand, "That night we..."

Murong Wei said angrily: "Let go, what is it like to be tugging?"

If others see her, her fate will not be better than that of Murong Wan'er.

Xiao Jinglan was about to speak, but saw someone approaching from a distance, and had to let go.

Murong Wei backed away angrily, "If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you the next time I see you."

Xiao Jinglan's eyes were dark, seeing her turn around and leave angrily, she didn't know what was going on in her mind.

It's inconvenient right now, but he can't help it.

Murong Wei, let me be selfish for once, whether you like it or not, I will find a way to beg you when my father comes back.

Xiao Jinglan made up his mind, he didn't want to care about any hatred, his hard work would not stop because of a woman.

However, he will not let these things bother her, he will definitely protect her and prevent her from any harm.

It should be the best of both worlds, shouldn't it?

He doesn't want to give up any of it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinglan finally felt much better.

He has a lot of confidence that King Luo will not marry Murong Wei as his wife.

As for Murong Wei, judging by her temperament, she definitely doesn't look like someone who would be willing to marry King Luo as a concubine for love.

This woman is a smart person, and a smart person always knows how to choose what is good for him.

He is confident that he can win her heart in the future.

Murong Wei left angrily, feeling full of anger.

Thinking about these stinky men makes people angry. Why, when she is what Murong Wei is, anyone can step on her?
Bypassing the rockery and going up the chaoshou veranda, Murong Wei just met Xiangtao who came to look for her.

"Miss, the servant has found you, the old lady let you go." Xiang Tao said hastily.

Murong Wei covered her stomach: "Are you in a hurry, grandma, I want to eat something before going over."

"Miss hasn't eaten yet? Well, miss, let's go back and have something to eat first. The old lady is fine. Elder sister Yunxiang said that she is going to meet the guests."

Murong Wei caressed her forehead, it couldn't be another blind date, right?

She didn't know how many maids she met these days and how many guests she entertained.

The old lady never stopped thinking about showing her husband-in-law.

"Okay, by the way, Xiangtao, you can choose another parrot later, it's good-looking and smart."

Xiangtao became surprised: "Yes, the servant will go in a while. Didn't the lady just give you a parrot, and we still have one, and want another one?"

Murong Wei shook her head: "You don't need to worry about it, you won't be able to stay for a few days anyway."

"Ah, it's still a gift? The previous one is so good. Whenever it sees people, it shouts Gong Xi Fa Cai, brings red envelopes, and likes to recite poems. After it's gone, I don't see it in my heart. It's empty."

Murong Wei was also a little helpless: "Your lady, I was at a loss this time. I spent so much effort and effort, but I didn't get any benefits at all, and it made me feel fishy. It's too hateful, and I'm not a parrot trainer."

Xiangtao didn't know what she was feeling, she was confused.

The two masters and servants gradually moved further and further apart.

A man stepped out from the corner, looking gentle and elegant, with a smile like a spring breeze, wearing a blue dragon robe with wide sleeves and cloud patterns, a wide belt with jasper silk ribbons around his waist, and a winged crown with black hair. He is a gentleman, gentle and jade, It's reassuring to look at.

At this moment, he was looking at the master and servant who were going away with a strange expression.

"Interesting, I didn't expect it to be sent by her."

When did his second brother become so close to the Murong Mansion?
It is worth considering.

It seems that the second brother has a very close relationship with this Miss Murong, and this Miss Murong is even more wonderful.

Being able to teach such a parrot, wouldn't I be even more sharp-tongued?

It seems that the second brother is planning to ask her to give another parrot to the fifth brother.

King Qi smiled, turned and left.

When the entire Murong family was busy at night, when Murong Wei returned to her ink garden, her whole body seemed to be falling apart.

Getting married is more tiring than fighting a war.

After Murong Wei took a bath, her upper and lower eyelids were so sleepy that she fell asleep on the bed.

Dongfang was on duty this night, and she was also extremely sleepy, sleeping soundly on the kang.

As the night deepened, a figure sneaked into the boudoir.

This time is good, there is no need to use any means.

Murong Wei, look, don't I still have a way to see you?

No matter how superb your means are, you can't escape my palm.

"Wei'er, no matter what, I will marry you." He swore to Tianmeng extremely firmly.

Murong Wei was sleeping soundly, busy playing chess with Zhou Gong, how could she have the time to pay attention to him.

Murong Wei didn't notice it at all.

Silent all night.

In the morning of the second day, Murong Wei woke up leisurely, just as she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw something lying beside her pillow.

She froze for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and took a closer look, it turned out to be a brocade box.

Where did this brocade box come from?
Who put it next to her pillow?
Murong Wei sat up in amazement, held it in her hand and looked carefully, there was nothing special about the red lacquered box with pomegranate flowers, she opened the lock, and there was only a jade pendant and a letter in it.

Murong Wei frowned, but seeing the words "Murong Wei's personal seal" written on the envelope, she felt a little strange for a moment.

When she opened the letter, she took a closer look and frowned at the beginning of the letter, with a bit of annoyance, "Xiao Jinglan, you really think this is your backyard, come whenever you want!"

The letter said:
Miss Murong sees the words as follows...

Jing Lan knew that this was inappropriate, and she was afraid of making the young lady angry again, but she couldn't help but feel flustered. Please forgive me for the offense.But the lady should know that I am sincere, and it is not a play. If the lady is willing, she can take the jade pendant to the shopkeeper of Jinyuzhai, and I will come here to meet you.If Miss is willing, Jing Lan will ask his father to propose marriage to your family after his return.Jing Lan is sincere and willing to promise that she will only marry the young lady, and the young lady should know what I want.

Murong Wei stared blankly at the letter in her hand, and put it down after a while, her eyes slightly closed.

The sincerity of his letter made her anger disappear, and what he said made her even more uncertain.

Since she came to this world, all the men she met had three wives and four concubines. This was the first time a man told her that he would only marry her alone.

Murong Wei's heart suddenly became complicated.

Doesn't she just don't want to share her husband with other women?

Just like in the previous life, maybe everyone has been in love before, but at least after they are together, they can't be with other women.

She knew that this kind of thinking was incompatible in this world, after all, women in this era were educated completely differently from hers.

How could she tell others this idea?

I'm afraid that if I say it, people will laugh at her for being jealous.

But she couldn't bear to watch her husband be with other women and have children.

As long as his heart is enough, she cannot agree with this "noble" idea.

For a couple who truly love each other, who can bear to have another person by their side?

Xiao Jinglan, is he really willing?

Murong Wei was filled with emotions for a moment.

She still thought he was a child who didn't grow up, but seeing his letter from the bottom of her heart, she suddenly felt ridiculous.

child?

That was the concept in the previous life. For the people here, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, they have already become fathers.

Their thinking is also very precocious, like her big cousin Zhou Che, she can't see him as a high school student in her previous life, and when she is with him, Murong Wei still thinks he is more like an adult.

Xiao Jinglan's temperament is moody, happy for a while, and stern for a while, looking like a teenager.Obviously he is actually very smart, but he uses such an innocent young face to cover it up, so there is naturally something wrong with it.

She didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of Prince Jing's mansion.

Xiao Jinglan, alas, what kind of person are you?

Murong Wei picked up the jade pendant, and saw that it was a high-quality suet white jade, with warm tentacles, and it carved a flaming unicorn.

Jin Yuzhai...

Isn't it the place where she bought Yu Ruyi last time?

She suddenly remembered that the last time she was shopping for Yu Ruyi in Jinyuzhai, she met the man who covered his face with a fan.

Could it be him?

She suddenly understood, so she just said, how could that piece of jade Ruyi be sold so cheaply.

It turned out that it was because of him.

But why was he covering his face?
Could it be that she was afraid that she would see his appearance and reject his kindness?
Murong Wei chuckled, this guy is really dumbfounding.

Firecrackers were set off outside, bringing her thoughts back.

Murong Wei knew that it was after last night that she verified the bride's chastity, so she set off firecrackers, which also represented that her family married a chaste woman.I will report to An Jun Wang Mansion later.

She curled her lips, although she didn't agree with this, she didn't say much.

Murong Wei put away the letter and hid the brocade box.

The bride had to meet relatives this morning. After Murong Wei cleaned up, she drank some goat milk, picked up crystal steamed dumplings stuffed with fresh mushrooms, and ate half a bowl of porridge with lily, barley and japonica rice together with side dishes.

Lu'er tied her a peach heart bun, wore passionflower tender yellow silk flowers, pearl butterfly hairpins adorned her hair, pearl inlaid white jade headbands and a bun, and changed into a cherry red skirt with a collar and a hundred butterflies carved in silk. A squirrel with a silver-red crabapple cape.

Murong Wei went to the old lady's place to pay her respects, and sure enough, she saw a lot of female relatives in the main hall, all of them were relatives of Murong's family.

The old lady was sitting on the Luohan couch, wearing a bright red silk jacket with blessing pattern, talking to the female relatives with a smile on her face.

The eldest lady is also here, the fourth lady is also here, and Mrs. Liu is also here.

Murong Wei was talking to Murong Yue, Murong Lan was too tired and sick yesterday, so she didn't come, Murong Wan'er had a sullen face, wondering if she thought about getting married.

She and Liu Pingyi have already exchanged Geng Tie, and they will make a small order in a few days.

Suddenly, she glanced at Murong Wei resentfully, feeling as if she was not fair at all.

Although I think that I will be the main wife in the future, I don't need to put that aunt in my eyes, but she is a girl after all, why don't I want my husband-in-law to love her?

Who is willing to accept concubines for their husbands?
Murong Wei should have endured all of this!
Murong Wan'er thought indignantly.

"Second Sister, you have been busy embroidering dowry these days, but are you in a hurry to get married?" She teased Murong Yue with a smile.

Murong Yue blushed, and pinched her arm: "Why are you making fun of me? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Although Liu Pingyi's family wanted him to get married quickly, but now that he has changed his mind and made an appointment, he is not in such a hurry.

Seniors and young are in order, after all, we have to wait until Murong Lan gets married in February next year, and the two parties have decided to marry Murong Yue in April next year.

Anyway, several daughters are going to get married, and the eldest lady is preparing for the dowry.

Murong Yue married into Jianning Bo's Mansion, and Murong Yue's biological mother, Second Aunt, has always been peaceful, so the eldest lady will not make things difficult for her.

The betrothal gifts from the Jianningbo Mansion were quite a lot, at least 1 taels.It stands to reason that the dowry gifts of the two parties should not differ too much, otherwise they will be said to be taking advantage, and the bride will be looked down upon in the past.

The eldest lady also purchased a dowry of about 1 taels as usual, and the gold and silver utensils in the dowry had to be included in the dowry, not counting the farm shop, and the Jianningbo Mansion would not suffer at all.

In this regard, the eldest lady will not play tricks, after all, it is for the sake of the Murong Mansion, and the old lady will not allow her to mess around.

The Murong family has been passed down for thousands of years, so it can be said that the background is deep. The family has spread out, and naturally has a lot of wealth.

Murong Wei smiled and said, "Sister is going to get married next year, now seeing my sister-in-law coming in, what do you think?"

Murong Yue gave her a sideways look, "You, if I leave, what will you do? You don't even know how to worry about your own affairs."

Murong Wei smiled and said: "If you come, you can rest easy, why worry?"

Murong Yue sighed, it's not like she didn't know that Da Furen seemed to be a little bit towards Aunt Zhou...

Although the second aunt had told her, but seeing that Murong Wei was fourteen years old and the marriage was still uncertain, she still felt worried.

She was really afraid that Murong Wei would marry a bad husband.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, why not worry?
But seeing that Murong Wei has always been a smart person, she should have an idea in her heart.

Just as he was thinking, Murong Fu and Lord Yunxia came to visit the old lady.

Yunxia has a ruddy complexion, wearing a bright red beige with golden makeup and flowers, a horse-faced skirt with a gold lanthanum border, a high bun, and a set of rare emerald hair. She looks radiant and shy.

Murong Fu at the side was full of joy, the two of them stood together, they were really golden boy and jade girl, they were both talented and beautiful, they were a perfect match.

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Da Furen's eyes, she felt that her son's marriage was something she was extremely proud of.

This Junjun Yunxia is her chosen daughter-in-law.

A servant girl had already stepped forward to greet her, and the two servant girls of Yunxiang Yunmeng were holding futons. When they saw that they were going to salute, they put down the futons and let them kneel down.

"Yunxia pays respects to grandmother and mother." Junjun Yunxia served tea to the old lady first, and then tea to the eldest lady.

Then she held a plate of crabapple flowers painted with red lacquer and gold, the old lady smiled and gave her a bracelet made of blood silk jade, and the eldest lady smiled and gave her a set of hair masks made of southern pearls, all of which were very precious.

The Fourth Madam gave a string of tourmaline stones. Liu Shi, the eldest grandmother of the second room of Murong's family, now her husband works as a ceremonial member in the capital, Wailang, smiled and gave him a red gold happy eyebrow hairpin, a piece of Hetian jade with auspicious dragon and phoenix, Portions are heavy.

Mrs. Liu gave a suet jade bracelet inlaid with Western gemstones, and the others each gave a lot of greeting gifts.

Yunxia bowed around, exhausted enough, until the sisters-in-law came here, and each gave something. Naturally, it can't be as precious as these adults, but it's just meaning.

Murong Wan'er saw that Yunxia's plate contained so many precious things, she was speechless secretly, thinking that she would not know if there would be so many meeting gifts at that time.

"Your Majesty must be tired too. Look, it's getting late. You two should go back now." The old lady said lovingly.

After paying homage to her relatives, Yunxia smiled and said: "Grandmother, mother, although Yunxia used to be a girl from the county prince's mansion, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Murong family. You can call Yunxia by her boudoir name. It's like a birth share, and Yunxia is not happy to have a birth share with her grandmother and mother like this."

The fourth lady praised immediately, "Look, mother, sister-in-law, look at how well-behaved the granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law you have chosen, with a mouth as sweet as honey."

Everyone was full of praise immediately, Murong Fu also looked at his wife with a smile, the old lady and eldest lady were naturally even more happy.

For a while, there was a lot of joy and laughter.

Murong Yue smiled and said to her: "Our sister-in-law seems to be a kind person, I was afraid that she would be arrogant."

"If it's not good, can mother take a fancy to her?" Murong Wei was not surprised.

The eldest son and eldest grandson will inherit the family business in the future, and the eldest daughter-in-law to marry is chosen from thousands of people, so naturally he cannot be an arrogant and indulgent person.

After a long day of trouble, everyone was a little tired, so they left.

Murong Wei went back to the ink garden, and Xiang Tao got another parrot.

"Coincidentally, when I went there, I gave a new parrot. I saw this very beautiful and smart parrot, so I took it back. What do you think, Miss?" Xiangtao brought the bird cage as if offering a treasure.

Murong Wei took a look, it wasn't true, this parrot was more beautiful in fur color, and looked tense, Murong Wei saw that she liked it, so she was really reluctant to give it away.

But thinking of Luo Wang's words, she could only hum a few times in her heart.

After all, it was given to the fifth prince, if it is too bad, it will not work.

"Okay, Xiangtao, you have really good eyesight."

Xiangtao was proud of herself when Qiufang came in with an impatient look and winked at Murong Wei.

Murong Wei found an excuse to send Xiangtao out and asked, "What happened?"

"Miss, I inquired about an important matter." Qiu Fang whispered in her ear mysteriously: "It's a lifelong event for Miss Guan."

Murong Wei's eyes moved: "What did you hear?"

Qiu Fang said in a low voice: "Yesterday, Mr. Feng went to Missy and told Missy that he wants to marry you as a wife!"

Murong Wei took a deep breath, she had the urge to swear.

Go to your sister's flat wife, what a Fengyu, she thought she had explained it clearly to him yesterday, but she didn't expect him to go to Murong Lan.

He thought that Murong Lan was virtuous enough, or that the relationship between the two families was too good, so he told his fiancée that he wanted to marry her younger sister as a wife.

What does he think of Murong Lan, and what does he think of her?
Murong Wei took a deep breath and managed to hold her breath, "Where did you hear the news?"
