Chapter 198 It's Dragon Boat Festival Again
In the first month, the crown prince punished a group of officials, most of whom were members of the Ou family and the fifth prince. The intention was obvious. Before everyone recovered, the queen reprimanded the crown princess. Kneeling in front of the Kunning Palace for four hours, the emperor finally came forward, and the princess returned from the Kunning Palace, so she was also punished to copy the scriptures.

When the news reached Ou Mansion, the lady in a small courtyard in the second room of Ou's family breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the nanny who was waiting by her side: "From this point of view, this marriage with Marquis Chang Ping will not come to fruition!"

The nanny was very sorry, "The Marquis of Changping is a first-class honor, and I heard that he is also very good to the wife in the mansion. When the young lady married, she was talented because of her appearance. Could it be that she is not as good as that lady? It's just a country girl, the status of the young lady is even nobler than her!"

Seeing the nanny like this, the young lady took a deep breath in her heart, "A concubine's room is always a concubine's room, and it will never go beyond the head of the main wife. The nanny should stop saying such things in the future. If it spreads, no one will talk about you." Why, you can only say that the daughter of our Ou family is not well-bred!"

This sentence was much more serious than usual, the nanny felt uneasy, and quickly admitted her mistake, "It's just that Miss missed this one, and I'm afraid it won't be as good next time!"

But the young lady seemed happier than before, "There are not many concubines who can marry a daughter from the Ou family in the court, and even fewer are willing to marry, so the marriage that my mother found for me is either to fill in the house, or the family is not very good. No matter what it is, it is better than being the concubine of the Marquis of Changping!"

Although she didn't know why the queen stood with the Ou family, she knew that the Ou family and the prince were hostile, and Marquis Changping belonged to the prince, so the two families were also hostile. Marrying a political enemy as a concubine, she might be afraid I don't know how I died in the end!

The prince suddenly stepped up his offensive, and Liang Yimei was also very surprised. When she heard that it was already March, she ran to ask Hou Yunping. Hou Yunping only carefully protected her stomach, and said indifferently: "The paper has been pierced on both sides. Naturally, do whatever you want!"

"The matter about the Queen and Concubine Ou Gui..." Liang Yimei said worriedly, if her two sparkling eyes were ignored!

Hou Yunping scratched her nose amusedly, "Even the emperor doesn't know such royal secrets, let alone us outsiders."

Liang Yimei was relieved, but a little disappointed.

The upper-level officials in the capital also gradually became aware of the delicate relationship between the crown prince and the queen. As the crown prince presided over the opening of the sea, even the middle-level officials in Beijing also noticed that the prince and the queen were not on good terms. The officials looked at each other in blank dismay!
On the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Liang Yimei and Mrs. Hou went to watch the dragon boat race together. They were still in Yuweizhai, but this time it was changed to the third floor. He held Mrs. Hou's other arm before him, and said with a smile: "... but I will wait for you, old man." Looking over at Mrs. Hou, he looked at Liang Yimei and said, "Mrs. Changping Hou has never been out. There are many people in Beijing No one knows you, wait a minute and I will recommend it for you!"

"Thank you Madam Cao!"

Mrs. Hou also smiled and said, "This child is a bit shy, and she was not very good at the beginning, so I held her back and refused to let her come out. It's good that you are willing to introduce her for her now, and I will ask you to take care of her later." she!"

Mrs. Cao was stunned, and looked at Liang Yimei. Liang Yimei lowered her head with a blushing face, and when she saw her looking over, she smiled shyly. Who in the capital knows as many people as Mrs. Tai, and if she asks for my recommendation, isn't it just letting me do it?"

It made everyone laugh. While talking, everyone went to the seats of the Hou family. Civil and military affairs are separated, and the family members are the same. A group of people surrounded by an old lady waved to Mrs. Hou, "Aying, come here!"

Mrs. Hou was taken aback when she saw her, she quickly got up and pulled Liang Yimei over, and bowed to her respectfully, "Aunt Shen!"

The old ancestor grabbed her, looked left and right, and said: "Your body is still so strong, what about your sister-in-law, why hasn't she come?"

Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is coming soon. Aunt Shen is in good health. We juniors have not seen Aunt Shen for a long time despite our mundane affairs."

"Okay, that's great." Turning to look behind her, he said with a smile, "This is Xiao Wu's wife, right? She looks so neat!"

Mrs. Hou pulled Liang Yimei in front of her, "How can it compare to your granddaughter-in-law, each of them looks like they walked out of a painting!" Looking up, she saw two girls standing behind the old ancestor, one delicate and cute, the other gentle Da Fang wondered: "Whose girl is this, she looks so juicy!"

The old ancestor laughed and pulled the two children behind him to him, "These are the two daughters of Eleven. When the child heard that I was not in good health, he sent the child back to serve the sick."

Mrs. Hou thought of Shen Shishi, and she felt a little guilty, so she smiled and made two things on her body as a meeting gift. Both Shen Qiniang and Shen Shiniang looked at the old ancestor, who nodded slightly before they accepted it.

Liang Yimei glanced at the two curiously, saw that their eyes were clear, she was about to look away, but Shen Qiniang was also looking at her, and their eyes met, both of them were stunned, and then they all laughed together.

The old ancestor turned around and saw that Liang Yimei was sandwiched between the two elders. He liked it, so he slipped a bracelet from his hand and put it on her hand, "Come on, this is a gift from Grandma Shen!"

Even though Liang Yimei didn't understand jade, she could see that the bracelet was extraordinary, so she turned to look at Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou nodded, and Liang Yimei smiled and thanked her for accepting it. The ancestor liked it even more when he saw her. Seeing her big belly, He said to the people around him: "Go and bring two chairs!"

Liang Yimei's forehead was sweating a little, the elders surrounded her, how could she dare to sit down as a junior?Mrs. Hou sat down beside her with a smile, and waved to Liang Yimei: "What does she have to say between a young daughter-in-law and us old women? Let her go to Sanniang. Aunt Shen doesn't know yet. This girl and Sanniang are on good terms." , yelling sister-in-law and sister-in-law, it gave me a headache, and now I can't tell the difference in this generation!"

The old ancestor was taken aback, thought for a while, and asked, "Does the fifth daughter-in-law still have friendship with the boy of the Shang family?"

"Their family is from Quanzhou. Didn't the kid from the Shang family grow up in Quanzhou?"

When the old ancestor remembered it, he smiled happily and said, "This is even better," waving his hand and saying, "Then go to Sanniang quickly, don't worry about your mother-in-law, there are people here to take care of you." Turning around, he turned to Shen Qiniang and Shen Shiniang again. Said: "You two go to play too, you will become an old lady if you stay outside all the time!"

"You go, and when you see your aunt coming, pull her over too."

Liang Yimei went down with the two of them at the sound, and Shen Shi also happened to come this way. Seeing Liang Yimei, she quickly stepped forward to hold her back: "Is your belly so big?" Turning around, she saw Shen Qiniang and Shen Shiniang following behind Liang Yimei, Qi asked: "Why did you come together?"

……

Cao Keyuan looked at Mu Yingrong with a bit of resentment, "Your mother dragged you to let them see each other, do you really like them? They are just the sons of some fourth-rank officials, even your father is better than you." No way!"

Mu Yingrong's face was a bit ugly, and it was even worse to hear such words. She broke away from Cao Keyuan's hand and said, "The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, how can we say these things?"

Peng Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at her carefully, and said, "You can't say that. Our generals are not as particular about civil servants. There are many daughters who choose their own husbands. If my sister has someone who likes to tell us, it is We can't talk, and our mother can help you!"

Mu Yingrong felt a little uncomfortable, and said with a cold face: "I'm always with you, where is my sweetheart? Sister Peng, don't talk nonsense, I've been out for a while, my mother should find me!"

Turn around and leave.

Cao Keyuan let out an "hey", stomped her feet and said, "Just leave?"

Peng Ying's face was a bit ugly, "Let her go, if she can't solve it, she will naturally come back to ask us for advice."

Mu Yingrong walked quickly, and the servant girl saw that she had a bad complexion, so she said anxiously: "Miss, we just don't want to associate with Miss Peng from now on. Don't Madam also like them?"

Mu Yingrong's footsteps paused, and her heart was even more distressed. She looked at the maid standing by the window and asked, "If I like one thing very much, but mother wants to give me another, what should I do?"

"Miss, just make it clear to Madam." The servant girl replied, looking at Miss in puzzlement, what's so embarrassing?

"What if you know the elders won't agree?"

"Miss, how will you know if you don't try it?" The servant girl looked at her with some confusion, "If it doesn't work, then think of a way!"

Mu Yingrong thought for a moment, then murmured: "You are right, how will you know if you don't try it?"

Looking up, she saw that the maid who was close to her was looking at her blankly, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go to find mother, she must be waiting impatiently now!"

Mrs. Mu was really anxious to wait. She forced a smile to talk to the wives, and was relieved when she saw Mu Yingrong came with her maid, and introduced her daughter to the wives with a smile.

After everyone left, Mrs. Mu blamed her: "Why did it take so long? Let so many ladies wait..."

Mu Yingrong smiled apologetically, hugged her hand and said, "Mother, Yingrong knew she was wrong, and she will never do it again."

Mrs. Mu sighed, and pulled her daughter back to her seat. Although military officers are not as clearly divided as civil officials, the family members of fourth-rank officials generally don't stay on the third floor.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the sad expression between her daughter's eyebrows, and her heart ached. She didn't know what her daughter was thinking. She was originally from the countryside, so she didn't pay much attention to those family backgrounds. Rong!

Finding a civil servant's Yue family can still help him, but his own family is useless to him!
