food queen

Chapter 13

Mrs. Zhou responded, and led the maids and women back out.

When there was no one in front of her, the eldest princess called the servants who were going to deliver the dishes to the Duke's mansion and asked them carefully, until Han Yuji came in before sending the two servants away, and the couple washed one after another and went to bed together.

On the second day, Han Qian sent someone to invite Wei Xiyue to come over to play at the Duke's Mansion, but Mrs. Feng actually refused. The excuse was that Wei Xiyue didn't sleep well last night and wanted to catch up on sleep at home. She said she would come back to the princess in two days house to play.

Han Qian was upset at the time, and leaned against her mother with a pouted mouth and said nothing.

The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "What's the matter? It's not convenient for her to come here, so let's just go over there. Go get someone to prepare the car. It's been a long time since I went to pay my respects to my sister-in-law. Today I'm going to visit her for a day."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly told the housekeeper behind her: "Hurry up and prepare the car."

The Han family is now divided into three mansions, Duke of Zhenguo Han Entrope, Marquis of Courage Han Entropy, and Marquis of Zhongyi Han Entropy.

Both Han Entrope and Han Entropy are considered to be the elders, the sons of the deceased Old Duke and Princess Ninghua.Han Entropy is the second bedroom, the nephew of the old man.The current three wives of the Han family are Feng Shi, Zhou Shi (the daughter of An Yi Hou's concubine) and Princess Yunzhu.

Counting from the husband's side, the Feng family is the eldest sister-in-law, the Zhou family is the second sister-in-law, and the eldest princess is the third sibling.But in terms of rank, the two elders, one first-rank Duke’s wife and one first-rank marquis, were ordered by first-rank officials. Feng’s natal family is gone, and Zhou’s elder brother is now the chief minister of the cabinet. The princess is the daughter of the royal family, and she occupies the title of "Emperor Daughter" in front of these two first-rank wives, so she is divided into monarchs and ministers.Therefore, among the three sisters-in-law, the eldest princess is the biggest, and the Feng family is the least powerful. It is no wonder that the Feng family has always been depressed and complained over the years, so that he has no regard for decency.

There is such a saying that there is a country before a family.National etiquette and law cannot be abolished.When the eldest princess came to visit Duke Zhen's mansion, Mrs. Feng would have to bring her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to greet her all the way to the door, and respectfully lead her into the main hall to serve tea with the courtesy of a monarch and ministers.

However, the eldest princess seldom shows off on weekdays, because she knows that the brother-sister relationship between herself and the emperor is not deep, and her husband is not as outstanding as the two brothers in Dafang. Respecting the two sisters-in-law of the eldest room, especially Fengshi, she felt that Fengshi became more and more unreasonable as he got older, and even disregarded the decency of the family members. Being like her was a way of lowering his self-worth, and it was also a way for her husband. It's not fun to find, so I hide if I can hide on weekdays.

But this time it was different from usual. The daughter-in-law pointed out what happened this time, and let the daughter listen to it. If it is silent, forget it, how will the daughter behave in front of others in the future?Moreover, she has endured Feng's long enough, and if she endured any longer, it would not be courtesy, but weakness and incompetence.

The eldest princess's mansion is a neighbor to Zhen Guogong's mansion. After the death of the eldest princess Ninghua, the mansion was taken back by the royal family, and later it was given to Yunzhu.So the frame arrived at the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion in just a moment.

In fact, there is a wall between the Princess's mansion and the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and there was originally a corner gate, but today the princess refuses to leave. She must go through the main gate, and naturally she has a certain purpose.

"The concubine welcomes the eldest princess!" Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Lu greeted her at the gate with their children.

The eldest princess helped Mrs. Zhou get out of the carriage, glanced at the two nephews and daughters-in-law kneeling at her feet, and asked with a light smile, "Is sister-in-law unhappy?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly replied: "Back to the eldest princess, my wife was a bit greedy for cold last night, and I didn't bother to eat when I woke up this morning, and only said that I was dizzy. So I couldn't welcome Feng Jia, and I ask the eldest princess to forgive me."

"Forget it, a family of flesh and blood, what do you say about forgiveness? Get up, I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a few days, and I still miss her so much, so I came here to see her, but it just so happens that she doesn't Well, it seems that I have come to the right place." The eldest princess said, waved her hands towards Zhang's sister-in-law, and walked in with her daughter-in-law's hand.

Han Qian was held by the nanny and followed behind the eldest princess, trotting all the way to Zixuan Hall where Mrs. Feng lived.

Mrs. Feng can say that she is sick and can't go to the gate to meet the eldest princess, but she can't lie on the bed and wait.

When the eldest princess and her party arrived at the entrance of Zixuan Hall, Mrs. Feng was already standing there, holding the maid's hand and waiting.

"See the eldest princess." Mrs. Feng said, and she was about to kneel tremblingly.

If it was in the past, the eldest princess would definitely go forward and stop her from kneeling down, but this time, the eldest princess just smiled and waited for her to kneel down and kowtow, before she stretched out her hand and said, "You and my sister for many years, What are you doing with these vain rituals? The children said you were sick, why didn’t you just lie on the bed and get up to greet you. It’s getting more and more strange.”

"It's nothing serious, it's just a little dizzy, and I dare not walk too much. The eldest princess please hurry up." Although Mrs. Feng scolded the eldest princess in her heart, there was still no trace of unhappiness on her face.She is not stupid, she naturally knows the consequences of offending the eldest princess, let alone the palace, the husband alone will not be able to pass.

The eldest princess scratched Feng a few words, and didn't care about it any more, she just smiled indifferently and walked in.

Mrs. Feng just took her seat when she heard the maid outside the door reply: "Second wife is here."

A slight smile flashed in the eldest princess's eyes. She told her daughter-in-law Mrs. Zhou that she would come to see the eldest wife when she got up early in the morning. The purpose was to let Mrs. Zhou bring her aunt along. Son, besides, when she was young, she was spoiled by Mrs. Feng a lot, how could she let go of such a good opportunity to watch the excitement?

So the three sisters-in-law get together, just sit without talking, and the eldest wife can be suffocated to death.Maybe her eldest princess, the Feng family, can ignore her, but Mrs. Zhou is the younger sister of the chief assistant of the court. The Zhou family is now the head of civil servants, occupying the position that the Feng family held back then. The eldest princess knew that Mrs. Feng was most jealous of the Zhou family, but she didn't say anything.

Wei Xiyue came forward to greet the eldest princess and the second wife, but was dragged away by Han Qian.

The little princess didn't care about the comings and goings between her mother and the uncle and the second aunt, she just pulled Wei Xiyue and whispered with a smile: "You come with me, I asked them to prepare something fun today. Hurry up !"

Wei Xiyue didn't even have time to say hello to her grandmother before she was dragged out of Zixuan Hall by Han Qian and took a shortcut to the Princess's Mansion.

As soon as she left her grandmother's sight, Wei Xiyue's headache, stomach pain, and sleepiness stopped, and she followed Han Qian to the back garden of the princess' mansion with a laugh.

The Diaoyuexuan in the back garden of the Princess's mansion is surrounded by a clear spring water. The spring water is drawn from the hot springs. The water is pumped up from the ground with a special device, and it circles the Diaoyuexuan for half a circle, nourishing a field of flowers, plants and trees. All of it flows into Lanyue Lake, which flows continuously all year round. The master of garden design at that time said it was a 'jade belt wrapped around the waist'.
