Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 49 Yes, Not True!

"Hmph, I don't have such thoughts... How did His Highness know such a secret?"

When Xiao Mingrui thought that Mrs. Rui'anhou actually wanted the woman he liked to marry her useless son, Dang even felt upset and felt a little bit more dissatisfied.

Thinking of Murong Wei's aunt again, but she also had deep thoughts.

He has his own information, he can know some things this aunt did, and he has hurt Murong Wei several times.

It's just that this kind of thing is nothing new in the mansion gate. How can the mistress of the house restrain those servants if she has no means?
But this time, it's really over.

She should know the relationship between Murong Wei and him, and if she dared to marry Murong Wei to such a man, wouldn't she slap him in the face?
"This matter is a secret, and this king only found out about it by chance. I think your aunt did not know where to hear the news. But you don't have to worry, as long as the news of me asking Father to marry you spreads , then the Rui'an Hou family would not dare to ask you extravagantly."

Murong Wei pondered in her heart, thinking about the repeated provocations of the eldest lady, do you really think she is dead?

If she really wants to marry Xiao Mingrui, then she must solve the hidden dangers that should be solved before getting married.

"I see."

Xiao Mingrui saw that she wasn't too surprised by the man that his aunt had chosen for her. He expected that she might have already guessed.

This woman has always been smart, and will not be swayed by superficial prosperity and vanity, and it is precisely because of this that she can win his heart.

Those vanity and flashy things are just superficial scenery, if his wife is only in it, she can't be by his side, and walk with him on the possibly bumpy road in the future.

Xiao Mingrui suddenly remembered that she was by his side when he was seriously injured that night in the deep mountains, and said firmly that he had no regrets.

At that time, she stood side by side with him, watching the situation with a smile hand in hand.

This is the wife who is worthy of him, a woman who may not show her sharpness but is radiant and firm in her heart.

Xiao Mingrui's heart throbbed for a moment, he just felt that he had picked up a treasure, but fortunately he had doubted his own heart before, it could not be worth the destined marriage.

"Vill."

The two were in love, but there was a sudden barking of a dog in the distance.

Xiao Mingrui finally came to his senses at this moment, and let her go quickly.

Murong Wei's body had already softened and she almost fell, but fortunately she didn't slip to the ground with his hug.

Xiao Mingrui saw that the beautiful woman in front of him was as lazy as a Xifu crabapple, and wished that this moment would be short, so he whispered in her ear: "I wish I could marry you back home right away."

Murong Wei's ears were flushed, and she glanced back at him with joy and anger, but saw him holding his hand and leaving the place and walking forward.

"Someone is here. Although I want to get closer to my wife, it's not the right place."

Murong Wei spat at him: "Who is your wife?"

Xiao Mingrui wasn't angry either, he just stared at her pretty face with both joy and anger, and there was a kind of satisfaction and eagerness in his heart that filled his heart.

He became more and more proud of his decision.

Strike first.

If he proposes to his father first, he will have the upper hand.

No matter what, others should not even think about jumping him.

Xiao Mingrui held her little hand, but felt the catkin in the palm was soft and soft, as if there was no bone, and a faint fragrance emanated from her body, not the smell of powder or balm, just fresh and elegant.

Like a gust of spring breeze accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, it makes people feel refreshed and comfortable.

Seeing someone appearing in the distance, Murong Wei immediately broke away from his hand, hurriedly covered her lips with a handkerchief, stared at her with a little embarrassment, looked at the little eunuch following behind, and knew that it was his.

"How can I meet people like this?"

Xiao Mingrui covered his lips and coughed lightly: "Don't worry, I'm sensible."

He stretched out his hand to put on the warm hat for her, "This way, no one will notice. You will leave the palace gate first, and I will leave later."

Although he wanted to be with her very much, after all, there were still taboos, and meng lang couldn't occupy her completely.

Now Xiao Mingrui just wished he could welcome her in as soon as possible.

Murong Wei thought so too, when she was about to reach the palace gate, the little eunuch sent her out of the palace gate.

Xiao Mingrui watched her back from a distance, and only walked leisurely outside the palace gate after seeing her get into the carriage and leave.

He will not let anyone break his plan, Murong Wei is his, no one will take it away.

Xiao Mingrui's eyes flashed a flash of "I must win."

As for his dear elder brother, he knows this person's personality very well, it seems that he still needs to be careful before marrying Murong Wei, maybe their brothers should also get close to each other.

Doesn't it mean that he always thinks about something when he is so idle, and he has to find something for others.

It's best for him not to have time to trouble Wei Er.

As for what Xiao Mingrui was thinking, or what the emperor had discussed with Concubine Hui, Murong Wei naturally did not know.

But after receiving the news from Xiao Mingrui, she kept thinking about what to do on the way back home.

She didn't tell anyone about this matter, and she thought she should not show any intention until she got the emperor's real order.

In order not to be said that she is frivolous, it would be bad if it didn't end up.

She is used to not expressing anything until the matter is settled.

Until then it's best to be business as usual.

I heard that the prince would have to check eight generations of ancestors to marry a wife. She guessed that the emperor had already checked a lot about her.

At the last moment, she was very calm.

But others are not very calm.

What Murong Wei should do or do, the next day, Mrs. Rui'an Hou, who was supposed to come, couldn't come because of illness.

When Murong Wei went to pay her respects, she sneered in her heart when she saw Da Furen's uneasy expression.

Ruian Hou Jia must have gotten some news.

Their own son had that kind of problem and wanted to marry a lady from a famous family, but the daughter-in-law didn't dare to marry for fear of being troubled by others. Did they think she, Murong Wei, was easy to pinch?

Murong Wei didn't have a good impression of them either, she clearly knew about her son's problem, wouldn't marrying a good woman make him a widow?
The old lady was eating an egg tart and said: "This thing is soft and fluffy. Concubine Hui also likes it?"

"That's right, everyone who has tasted delicious food from all over the world likes my grandmother, I think Concubine Hui will like it too." Murong Wei said with a smile.

The old lady saw that she didn't show anything because Mrs. Rui'anhou didn't come, but she also thought about it.

What was the meaning of Concubine Hui's summoning yesterday?
How did you meet the emperor again?

not……

The old lady's eyes flickered, and she looked at the good granddaughter in front of her. This child was far more intelligent than she thought, and she had always been flattered or humiliated.

I don't see any frustration between her gains and losses, and she really appreciates her temperament.

That's fine, if you really want to enter the royal family... Those who are jealous will inevitably lose their nature, and only those who are as flattered as she are can have the last laugh.

You must know that the people who die the fastest in this world are those who are arrogant and domineering.

The eldest lady was dealing with housework over there, and she didn't know what to think when she looked at the daughter-in-law with a light and gentle smile beside her, and now the old lady asked Yunxia to help her with the housework.

Yunxia is a diligent person, and sooner or later she sets rules by the eldest lady's side. Although the eldest lady did not intentionally feel sorry for her, nor does she want to delegate power, but it is not good to think that this is the eldest daughter-in-law after all, and she will definitely be in charge of the house's affairs in the future. She really didn't let her take care of anything, so she picked up some trivial and complicated things, such as the distribution of monthly clothes by the people in the house. Although it seems that the power is not small, it is easy to offend people.

But Yunxia accepted it very considerately, and she did it so impressively that the old lady praised her endlessly.

These days, Murong Yue and Murong Wan'er, apart from embroidering dowry, also watch her handle the housework at Da Furen's place, and learn how to run the house.

Nanny Zhang gave Da Furen a cup of milk tea, Da Furen saw this thing, she was bored in her heart, thinking that it was made by that girl again, she was very unhappy.

Zhang Momo stayed by her side for many years, so how could she not understand her master's thoughts, she said with a smile: "Why is this madam, even if Madam Rui'an Hou didn't come for a while, she might not want to give up her mind."

The eldest lady said coldly: "It's not as simple as you said."

This is the "good husband-in-law" she chose to find for Murong Wei. When she gets married, let alone be a widow, she may lose this title when she gets old.

This is exactly what the eldest lady wants. Is it more important to make her suffer for the rest of her life than other things?
Nanny Zhang said: "Ma'am, don't worry, there is always a suitable candidate, besides..."

Suddenly a maid stepped outside, but it was Da Furen's maid, Zang Dong, who had a very irritable expression at the moment, and hurried forward to see Da Furen: "Ma'am, just now I heard that the people at the incident office said something outside. According to the news, it is now rumored that King Luo is asking the emperor for a marriage, saying that he wants to marry our third young lady."

"What!" The teacup in Da Furen's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and immediately shattered.

The hot milk tea splashed directly on the ground, and the strong smell not only did not ease the mood of the eldest lady, but also made the eldest lady extremely angry.

Nanny Zhang was also very surprised once.

Luo Wang actually personally asked the emperor to marry him?
And it's not a side concubine, but the main wife of the princess?
"That damned little hoof, I already knew she was not safe. No, it's impossible!" The eldest lady seemed a little unbelievable.

She couldn't imagine it at all.

Why, just because she is a concubine, but she was lucky enough to save King Luo, and it was already the emperor's kindness to make her a town lord, so how could she still be a princess?
It's her own daughter, who hasn't shared this good thing yet.

The eldest lady was short of breath for a while, and felt that her chest was so stuffy that she was going crazy. Nanny Zhang had already reflected it at this time, and when she saw the expression on the eldest lady, she felt that something was wrong, and quickly supported the eldest lady: "Madam, madam, take a breath, this is just a joke. gossip……"

The eldest lady pushed her away and walked back and forth in the room with a gloomy expression on her face.

"It doesn't mean there is no wind. If there is no shadow at all, how can someone spread the news?"

She remembered the matter of Murong Wei being summoned by Concubine Hui, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it was true.

"But the Holy Majesty hasn't agreed yet, and the Emperor may not have decreed it." Nanny Zhang could only comfort the master in this way.

"Yes." The eldest lady seemed to have found a shot in the arm, and her spirits improved a lot: "The emperor will definitely not let her, a dead girl, marry Luo Wang, and she deserves it!"

Speaking of this, the originally gloomy face seemed to have regained its brilliance.

"Go, send me someone to find out what that dead girl is doing."

Da Furen does not believe that this can be done, even if King Luo is willing, the Emperor may not be willing.

Although this matter was widely spread outside, it was only spread among the upper class, and many people in the mansion did not know about it.

Murong Wei didn't know either, she was staying at Aunt Zhou's place, and brought soup to Aunt Zhou with a smile: "Auntie still pays attention to her body, although she needs to replenish her body, but don't overdo it, otherwise the fetus will be too big, and I'm afraid it will be difficult born to."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said: "You child, you are still a child yourself, how can you understand this, I know."

Mother Du's face was full of kindness, looking at Aunt Zhou's belly, hoping that the child would be born safely.

It's best to be a son, then the aunt will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

What an illusory thing it is to rely on the master's favor, only the heirs are the most important.

"Auntie, Aunt Li is here."

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, seeing Aunt Zhou's eyes were sleepy, thinking of the good deeds that Aunt Li had done, she felt a bit calculating in her heart.

She wants to see what this woman wants to do?
Aunt Li was wearing a pink satin jacket with pinched waist and flowered satin jacket, and a water-blue horse-face skirt with silver lanthanum trim. She was slender and of medium height. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, and her appearance was very seductive, her eyes were especially attractive.

For women, a woman with this look is never very attractive.

This Aunt Li is just the daughter of a shopkeeper who owns a restaurant that Master Murong fell in love with when he was on business in the south. Tired.

She doesn't have a son by her side, so why not worry.

Seeing that Aunt Zhou is pregnant now, she didn't say there was something wrong with the kumquat potted plant she gave her, but she came here all day long to try out the secret recipe for having a baby.

"Yo, it turns out that Miss San is here too, what a coincidence." Aunt Li saw Murong Wei smiling and came forward to greet her.

Murong Wei returned the gift in a nonchalant manner: "It turned out to be Aunt Li. Aunt Li just said that Aunt Li is really a sister and she often comes to talk with Auntie. This is true, although it is said that it is better for pregnant women to rest. It’s not good to work too hard on meeting guests, but Aunt Li is not an outsider, either.”

The word "outsider" in her has a different flavor, causing Aunt Li's expression to change slightly, she cursed secretly in her heart, and her face was even more embarrassing.

"Miss San is right. I am also happy to see that sister Zhou is pregnant. I think that I have no luck, so I want to be lucky."

Murong Wei raised her brows slightly, "I see. In fact, I read medical books these days. I heard that it's good to relax my mind. Sometimes it's useless to be anxious. Think about it. My aunt also ate fast and recited Buddha in those days. It seems that I read more Chanting is good."

When Aunt Li heard this, she just felt that she was being mocked, and she was angry and resentful. She thought that she could become pregnant by reciting Buddhist scriptures. She had already recited Amitabha Buddha countless times, why didn't she feel happy?
Don't you just want to tell her the secret recipe for pregnancy?

"Wei'er, what do you know as a girl? Sister Li, but if you are pious, the Bodhisattva will surely make you happy." Aunt Zhou said earnestly and sincerely.

Looking at her mother's expression, Murong Wei felt amused in her heart. She found out that Aunt Zhou's acting talent is also very good.

Look at that expression, how sincere it is.

Aunt Li couldn't be bothered to stay any longer, so she smiled stiffly and said, "My sister will remember what my sister said. No, my sister has obtained some good medicinal materials, so give them to my sister for health care."

Murong Wei smiled and said: "Aunt Li is so polite, she still needs to bring a gift when she comes here, Mama Du, why don't you choose a few bolts of high-quality cloth and medicinal materials as a gift in return. Didn't I take a piece of Concubine Hui for the first time?" Is it the shrimp whisker bracelet that the empress rewarded, and give it to Aunt Li."

Aunt Li was stunned, her heart was bitter, and she felt angry and jealous. How could Murong Wei, a concubine, be appreciated by these nobles?
Mother Du's stomach almost twitched from laughter. She knew that Miss San didn't want to take advantage of others. If you gave a gift, the gift in return would be heavier than yours.

In order not to think that he is rare on that idea of ​​medicinal materials, who knows if something has been tampered with.

Mother Du immediately suppressed a smile and said: "My aunt also told this servant girl, what Miss San said is that this old slave will send Aunt Li back."

Aunt Li left with a stiff face.

Murong Wei looked at the box she sent, opened it and said, "Interesting."

Although the ancient man's cost technology was not so sophisticated, there were also counterfeit medicinal materials.

Look at the medicinal materials in front of her, if she hadn't seen many medicinal materials since she was a child, she could distinguish them clearly, but she wouldn't be able to distinguish the real from the fake.

Did the woman buy fake medicine without knowledge, or did she send fake medicine on purpose?

Apart from being a housekeeper, what a lady should learn is all kinds of secret methods used in the inner house, one of which is medicine, what medicine can cause miscarriage, what can cause stillbirth, what pollen can harm someone and what things can be incompatible.

It is also necessary to learn to identify antiques and identify some basic precious medicinal materials.

Just because these things may be given away in the future, what if the gift is fake?
Not only will it kill people, but it will also forge hatred.

Even Murong Wei, who hadn't time-traveled before, was taught these common senses by the mother along with the sisters.

Although it may not be as deep as her, but the basics are still understood.

"Auntie, look."

Aunt Zhou looked at the herbs inside in surprise, "This is an old mountain ginseng from the Northeast, look... Hey, why don't you think it's real? It's too thin and the color is wrong."

Murong Wei also has to feel that this ancient person is not easy to fool, it's just that she knows more about some things in the era of information explosion in later generations.

Aunt Zhou was born in an official family, but she has seen many things in the world.

Aunt Li doesn't have that kind of vision, so it's ridiculous to use this little trick for fun.

Murong Wei smiled: "It's not fake, I must have bought a fake."

Someone has to bump into her to use her as a weapon, so why not do it?
She doesn't have the sympathy to use on extra people.

Since someone has to deal with their mother and daughter, she has to pay back, right?
She has seen the things in the mansion clearly for a long time and knows what to do.

Of course, she won't show up in person.

Some people never seem to understand that there is always a price to pay for doing something.

Aunt Zhou pushed it away in annoyance, and said helplessly: "Wei'er, don't worry about these things about me. What I am most worried about now is your marriage. Now your fifth sister is engaged, but you still..."

Murong Wei knew that Aunt Zhou was doing it for her own good, but now that she has made a fortune, it's hard to tell.

"Don't worry, Auntie. My daughter is fine. She is still young. Could it be that Auntie is so anxious for her daughter to get married?"

Aunt Zhou saw that she didn't care, and said anxiously: "You are fifteen years old, how can you be young? I just look at your big cousin, how about..."

Murong Wei said helplessly: "Mother, now the eldest cousin is busy preparing for the Chunwei exam this spring, what are you talking about. Besides, the eldest cousin is my brother, I don't mean that."

Seeing this, Aunt Zhou shook her head.

Murong Wei was afraid that she would be troubled by this matter again, so she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll save it."

Aunt Zhou thought that her daughter had more ideas now, so she had to say: "Forget it, you can go back too, as long as you remember."

Murong Wei responded, went outside to find Mama Du, secretly gave her some instructions, and told her that she must keep it secret and do it without any trace.

Du's mother's eyes lit up, and then she assured: "Miss, don't worry, this servant will take care of this matter."

"Don't rush, let me know when you're ready."

Mother Du is very obedient to this young lady now, and feels that what she just said is very good, so she suppresses her excitement and does not mention it.

Murong Wei returned to the Mo Garden, and when she arrived at the door, she almost collided with the fiery Xiangtao.

"Miss!" Xiangtao was startled, and hurriedly saluted.

Murong Wei said angrily: "Why don't you walk well, why are you running, what is there to be so anxious about?"

Xiangtao beamed with joy: "Miss, why is it not a good thing, the servants have heard about it just now, it is said that King Luo..."

Murong Wei quickly stopped her: "Go into the room and talk, what does this have to do with me?"

It was only then that Xiangtao remembered that it was at the door, and Lu'er who came to greet her glared at her, "The frizzy problem will never change, what will you do in the future?"

Xiang Tao felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly apologized: "It's the servant who was rude, please forgive me, miss."

Murong Wei shook her head: "I'll go to Yue Gu's to receive my punishment later, but you will always stay by my side in the future, you can't be so reckless."

Xiangtao was speechless, but she didn't say anything, entered the main hall, Xiangtao looked around and closed the door.

"The slave girl didn't do it on purpose, she lost her composure when she was really shocked by the news." Xiang Tao said with a beaming face.

Lu'er was a little puzzled, she also knew Xiangtao's temperament, so it shouldn't be like this.

"What news?"

"Isn't it just that Zhou An from the incident department sent someone to pass the news to me, saying that someone outside is spreading rumors that His Royal Highness Luo Wang personally went to ask the emperor to order a marriage, and let the third lady be Luo Wangfei!"

Lu'er was so shocked by the news that she didn't recover for a while.

On the other hand, Murong Wei didn't respond, she calmly surprised Xiang Tao.

"Miss, aren't you happy? If the emperor ordered it, wouldn't you be the princess?"

Lu'er also came to her senses, and couldn't hide her joy in her eyes. Xiangtao didn't know, but she knew that King Luo and Miss had some feelings that others didn't know. If Miss could become Concubine Luo, it would be a dream come true.

"Congratulations, miss!"

Murong Wei said indifferently: "It's something that hasn't happened yet, don't talk nonsense and let people guess, if it doesn't work, why don't people laugh at it?"

The two servant girls were very happy at first, but what she said made the previous joy fade away.

"Miss is right, but...Miss was summoned by Concubine Hui before, so it should be possible, right?"

In the eyes of the two servant girls, it is natural that the prince's status is noble. If my young lady can become a princess, and the prince personally begged for it, who would dare to show her face?

What's more, King Luo must like Miss, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Murong Wei sighed, "Whether it can be done or not is the Holy Majesty's will, and it's useless for us to guess. It doesn't matter whether the people in the news mansion know or not... Heh, since Xiangtao knows, I'm afraid others will soon know too. At this time, I need to be more cautious, and you have people restrain the people below me, so that they behave well, do things for me honestly, and are not allowed to go out and gossip."

She doesn't want to give people the impression of being arrogant.

The faces of the two girls suddenly became serious, and they left without Murong Wei's urging.

Murong Wei shook her head, feeling that she should pay more attention in the future, if the emperor really grants the marriage, will the house not be in trouble?

She can't make a mistake at this time.

"Jing Lan, originally the father listened to the concubine and wanted to agree to this marriage. Who knew that when the time came, King Luo suddenly intervened. You must know the news that is spreading outside now, right?"

Xiao Jinghua looked at his stunned younger brother, and couldn't bear to say.

Originally, Xiao Jinglan was very happy when he got the news this morning that his father agreed to help him marry Murong Wei.

Although he grew up in Wudang Mountain, in this society, it is impossible for him to take her away and let her follow him without understanding.
