The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 150, Coming to Propose Marriage (Second Watch)

King Xun did what he said. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he asked Concubine Xun to prepare the betrothal gift, and invited a matchmaker to come to the door to make an appointment. According to the etiquette of the son and concubine, the number of gifts is 48, and King Xun directly increased it by 88 to [-] with a wave of his hand. , Princess Xun was taken aback.

88, Concubine Xun's body hurts, and it's not for Qi Xuan to marry a daughter-in-law. Qi Xuan hasn't married yet. How can a side concubine make such a big fuss?

"My lord, this is against the rules. This is the etiquette of a concubine. In the future, how should a concubine be married? It doesn't matter how we hire in private. Isn't this asking people to poke the backbone of our Prince Xun's mansion?"

Concubine Xun persuaded that she was in a hurry to make an appointment before she had even written off her horoscope. If Qi Yao regretted it in the future, the dowry gift would not be refunded. Besides, Princess Xun was hoping that Qi Yao would make trouble. It's better if the bits are gone.

King Xun said angrily, "Then what do you think?"

Concubine Xun stroked King Fu Xun's back, "My lord, why don't you change it into cash, it's unassuming, and it can show our sincerity."

Princess Xun was very tolerant, and almost guessed the reason why Qi Yao disagreed with this marriage. The more Qi Yao disagreed, the more she had to praise Meng Lianyan, the stronger Qi Yao's rebound would be.

"This is a good way. Time can't wait, the sooner the better, I will leave this matter to the princess to go there herself."

Concubine Xun nodded, "My lord, please don't worry, I will arrange it right now."

"It's hard work, Princess Xun." King Xun looked at Princess Xun tenderly, and mentioned that Qi Xuan felt more and more sorry for Princess Xun. In King Xun's eyes, Qi Xuan was far more qualified to be the son of the prince than Qi Yao.

Concubine Xun kept an appropriate smile on her face, she was always gentle, generous, and considerate, "The prince is too polite. When Miss Meng gets married, the concubine's life will be easier. There has been no marriage in the mansion for a long time. This time must be done in a lively manner, and we must not lose the face of King Xun's Mansion."

In the afternoon, Concubine Xun was able to do things very quickly, took the matchmaker with her, and went directly to the Lianjun Prince's Mansion.

"Concubine Jun, Concubine Xun is here with a matchmaker."

Princess Lianjun raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Why is she here? I'm going to send her away, no see!"

Even the clay figurine of the princess of the county has a three-pointed personality, but she blames Queen Mother Qi in her heart.

"Princess Jun, the concubine was invited away by the people around the concubine." The servant girl hurried over to report, and even the concubine stood up abruptly, breathing unevenly.

"It's getting more and more chaotic! None of them are worry-free!"

Concubine Lianjun took her maid and went to Concubine Meng's yard. Concubine Meng and Empress Dowager Qi were sworn enemies. Empress Dowager Qi gave her a marriage again without even saying hello. Concubine Meng was still angry and would definitely let Concubine Xun was ashamed, and took the opportunity to lose Empress Dowager Qi. Princess Lianjun and Concubine Meng had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than [-] years, and she could see through Concubine Meng's careful thinking at a glance.

Sure enough, just as Princess Lianjun approached Concubine Meng's yard, Concubine Meng's sharp voice came, and every word she said was ugly to you.

"It's not that the daughter of Lianjun Palace cannot be married. Since both parties are not satisfied, why force it? As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy a marriage, and forcibly tie two people together. This is not to beat Lianjun Palace. face?"

Concubine Meng became more and more angry, and Concubine Xun was stunned. She didn't know that Lianjun's mansion would have such an attitude, and she was stunned.

"Concubine Xun, the daughter of Lianjun's mansion will never be a concubine, it's fine if she is a concubine, but Lianyan is a serious concubine, she is simply deceiving people too much, a bad thing with no good intentions!"

As soon as Concubine Meng scolded, even the children of the princess of the county were very concerned about it, and it was okay to scold in private at ordinary times. Concubine Xun is the granddaughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Qi, not an outsider. Plug Concubine Meng's mouth.

"Mother!" Concubine Lianjun quickened her pace, pushed the door open and entered, "Mother, the order of Yi has been issued, and the empress dowager is also kind enough to make the concubine laugh."

Even the princess of the county was also angry, and she gained the upper hand, and was directly passive after being made such a fuss by Concubine Meng.

Concubine Xun's face was embarrassing, "Concubine Jun is too polite, it's Prince Xun's mansion who can't stand Prince Lian's mansion, and Miss Meng. To be honest, this concubine is very satisfied with this child. It is the fortune of Prince Xun's mansion to be able to ask for it as a daughter-in-law." If it wasn't for Yi's order, this concubine really wants Miss Meng to be the concubine."

Concubine Xun tactfully expressed her helplessness, and told Concubine Meng and Concubine Lianjun indirectly that it was Empress Dowager Qi who made the order, and if she was angry with Empress Dowager Qi, she was just here to spread the word.

How could Princess Lianjun not be able to hear the implication? After the Empress Dowager Qi issued the order, no one was seen, even Emperor Jinglong said he was sick and disappeared.

Lianjun's palace is a minister, and the minister has no choice but to die, and there is no reason to refute it.

Princess Xun's words instantly ignited Dowager Meng's anger. Dowager Meng slapped the table and sneered again and again, "Okay! She is the queen mother, and no one dares to refute her. You are afraid of her, but I am not afraid of her. Saved the life of the first emperor, how could she tolerate her being so arrogant! Even the emperor gave even the prince's mansion a three-pointer when he saw it, but she was good enough to slander the prince's mansion again and again, and a good girl was going to be given to her descendants Be a concubine!"

"Mother!" Even the county concubine's soul was almost gone, and she stopped Meng Taifei's unspoken words in time.

Concubine Meng was talking vigorously, when she was interrupted unexpectedly, her face was not very good-looking, and she didn't realize that she was wrong at all.

Concubine Xun was surprised and was a little restless. She didn't want to offend Empress Dowager Qi. Concubine Xun gritted her teeth. Concubine Meng is dead, and Princess Xun even feels that Empress Dowager Qi has been able to tolerate Concubine Meng for many years because she is definitely kind-hearted.

She is an upright and first-rank concubine, but she has to endure the accusations of a concubine, thanks to her patience.

"Presumptuous! How did you talk to the old man? The old man is your mother-in-law, you are so unfilial!"

Concubine Meng reprimanded Concubine Lianjun without any face, but Concubine Xun felt that Concubine Meng was scolding her around the corner, her face was livid, and she wished she could just shake her hands and leave.

Even the princess of the county is used to being scolded. This is not the first time, and her temper has also been stimulated, "If the mother feels that the marriage is inappropriate, the daughter-in-law will immediately prepare a sedan chair to accompany her to the political hall. If the emperor disagrees, the daughter-in-law will kneel three times." Days and nights don't matter."

"You!" Concubine Meng is actually a paper tiger, who only knows how to play tricks in the nest. Even the princess of the county is willing to go all out. You keep hiding some shortcomings, and it's okay if others don't appreciate it. In the past year, even the princess of the county is enough, and she has already given way to the limit for the concubine Meng. What kind of temperament does the concubine Meng have, even the princess of the county doesn't know?

Concubine Xun really wanted to clap her hands and applaud, like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a summer day.

Concubine Xun rejoiced more than once, fortunately she didn't have a mother-in-law, facing a bunch of concubines all day long was already troublesome enough, but also facing a mother-in-law as difficult as Meng Taifei, even the princess of the county was really not easy .

Princess Xun pretended not to hear, she lowered her head to appreciate the patterns on the teacup, and tasted it slowly. Fortunately, she didn't choose Meng Lianyan at that time, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.

Concubine Meng was trembling with anger, her chest rising and falling, "You are unfilial, do you have to be mad at me to be satisfied! You bastard!"

Princess Lianjun's left ear went in and out of her right ear, she turned her head and smiled apologetically at Princess Xun, and Princess Xun hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

"Toffee calm down, just rest assured, when Lianyan marries, this concubine will love her like her own daughter, and will never make her suffer wronged. Besides, the concubine has not yet been decided when Lianyan marries. Yan gave birth to the grandson of the royal family, so the position is not guaranteed because of Yanyan, the son dismissed many concubines in the past few years, now there are no such messy people in the house, marrying is the master of the house." Princess Xun said.

Even the concubine of the county was about to explode with anger every day, and Concubine Meng's endless troubles would only add to the chaos, and she was almost pissed off.

What happened to Meng Lianyan made her even more worried. She had seen the meaning of Xun Wang's mansion, but what about Qi Yao's side.

"Hmph, it sounds good. I heard that the son raised a sister in Taohua Xiaozhu. She looks like a fairy and is extremely beautiful. Why do you ask me to be so relieved?"

Concubine Meng punctured Princess Xun's words unceremoniously, and even the princess of the county was suffocated. It is not shameful for Qi Yao to be a son of the world to raise a sister, so why did she hold on tightly.

Princess Xun was embarrassed, "This..."

Seeing that Princess Xun was speechless, Concubine Meng said again, "I am not an unenlightened person, as long as Prince Xun's mansion agrees to my request, otherwise, this granddaughter is absolutely reluctant to marry!"

Princess Xun held her breath and asked, "What request?"

Princess Lianjun frowned suddenly, and looked at Princess Xun anxiously.

"The request of the old man is not difficult. As long as anyone, the prince or the concubine, writes a letter of guarantee, the eldest son of the prince must be born by Lianyan. Even if the concubine enters the mansion in the future, Lianyan is not allowed to be a concubine, and Lianyan's dowry is not allowed." Less than the concubine, if it is violated, the prince will leave the house in the future, and the palace will be inherited by Lianyan, as long as he agrees to this, the old man will no longer object."

Princess Lianjun's face turned ugly, she knew that Concubine Meng was going to do something, the Queen Mother gave him protection back then, and now Concubine Meng is going to join Queen Dowager Qi in the army, this is out of anger, not for Meng Lianyan at all For the sake of happiness.

Concubine Xun was stunned, even frightened, the only thing in her ears was that in the future, Lianyan would inherit the palace. Concubine Xun couldn't help sneering, she was really shameless.

"Concubine Jun, you have seen the sincerity of Prince Xun's mansion. This concubine is sincerely seeking to marry Miss Meng for the eldest son. If the two children are not destined to be married, this concubine will not force it." Princess Xun got angry and said It's just ugly to take a concubine, but he really takes himself seriously, and his tone is not polite at the moment, showing the money of the princess.

"As for what the concubine said, this concubine can't be the master. The bridal sedan chair welcomes the door on the sixth day of June, and it doesn't matter if you go up or not. In short, the reputation of resisting the decree will not be burdened by the palace. If the concubine asks the queen dowager for another change, this concubine Waiting, my concubine’s words are brought here, it’s not good for us if it gets stiff, Prince Xun’s mansion is a prince’s mansion after all, it’s a matter of face, not everyone can step on it!”

Concubine Meng originally thought that Princess Xun would definitely agree if she made a gesture, but she didn't expect that Princess Xun would say such a thing, she choked for a while, and glanced at Princess Lianjun.

"Concubine Lianjun." The concubine Lianjun is not polite anymore, "It's not that the county palace is not cooperating. It's not that you don't know what's going on with the prince. You should give an explanation to the Lianjun palace both emotionally and rationally. If the princess visits the house, she wants to get rid of the crime of resisting , then we might as well go to the Yizheng Palace together to find the emperor to comment, the Xun Palace has repeatedly despised the Lian County Palace, this marriage will not be settled!"

"You!" Concubine Xun was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Princess Lianjun to be so tough, if she messed up, just as Qi Yao wanted, maybe the prince would anger her, and instead make himself a human being inside and out .

Although Princess Lianjun did not agree with Concubine Meng's starting point, the ultimate goal was the same, to strive for the greatest protection for Meng Lianyan.

Concubine Xun thought for a long time, slowly settled down, and forced a smile, "Princess Jun is afraid that I have misunderstood, what the prince is asking for is not marriage, but something else. Miss Meng is such an excellent girl, how can the prince not like it?" .”

Princess Lianjun didn't believe it, and looked at Princess Xun suspiciously, "Then why didn't the prince come in person? It caused the Lianjun Palace to be misunderstood and climbed into the Xun Palace!"

If it wasn't for the marriage, even the princess of the county would have lost half of her anger, and Qi Yao would have knelt in front of the political hall for no reason more than half a year ago, thinking about it like this would relieve a lot.

Concubine Xun's cheeks are hurting. She hasn't experienced this kind of anger all year. Today, she has experienced enough and suppressed her anger. "Princess Jun, you also know the temperament of the prince. Even the prince can't control it, let alone this concubine. , I always say the same thing. Maybe after a few days, if I think about it, I will naturally come to the door to ask for forgiveness."

Concubine Meng snorted coldly, Concubine Lianjun was afraid of what she was saying, so she quickly stopped, "Princess, since this is the case, this concubine feels that what my mother said just now makes sense, and the son is uncertain, so it is better to take a step back, son. What about Lianyan inheriting the master's share?"

Concubine Lianjun is smart. King Xun is in high demand now. It is nonsense to ask Lianyan's son to inherit the palace. Don't forget, Concubine Xun has a son under her knees.

What's more, one day, if King Xun is in power, what he is looking for today is not just the palace, no wonder Princess Xun's face will change.

Concubine Xun's complexion is better now. If Qi Yao becomes king in the future, it doesn't matter who inherits it. Compared with thousands of miles of land, a throne is nothing.

"Yes! I can't take this step back." Concubine Meng agreed, if she didn't agree to any of them, where would she put her face?

Concubine Xun hesitated, she could not agree to this decision hastily, "I have to go back and discuss this matter with my prince, this concubine cannot make the decision."

Princess Lianjun breathed a sigh of relief. According to King Xun's attitude in the morning, she would most likely agree.

"Prince Princess, shouldn't it be time to invite Miss Meng to come out? The horoscope is a combination. The mother-in-law looks at it. The princess even brought the tailor. After measuring the size, the next step is to order the Fengguan Xiapei."

The matchmaker was let in, and according to the process, a large number of unnecessary ones were built, and a few of the most important ones were brought up after meeting.

"Yeah, it's useless for us to talk here. You might as well listen to what Ms. Meng has to say." Princess Xun also walked down the steps with a pleasant face, as gentle as if she had never argued with anyone.

Princess Lianjun called out, "Go and invite Miss."

Concubine Xun curled her lips. The Fengguanxiapei are all for the Crown Princess, and a concubine is also suitable for it?However, as long as there is trouble for Qi Yao, Princess Xun is willing to do it.

In the future, it doesn't matter who enters the door, there is such a side concubine here, it's no wonder if she doesn't die of anger, just fight, the husband and wife are separated, as long as Princess Xun thinks of this, she can bear it no matter how angry she is.

After a while, Meng Lianyan walked in holding the maid's hand.

Concubine Xun put down the teacup and looked up. Meng Lianyan was petite, dignified, elegant, with curved eyebrows and hair, only a few jade hairpins were inserted obliquely on her temples. The vermilion lips were not dyed but red, and she looked like a lady from a distance, with an enchanting figure and picturesque eyebrows, only with this style, Princess Xun nodded.

Meng Lianyan did not disappoint Concubine Xun. Meng Lianyan was good-looking, extraordinary in birth, well-educated, dignified and virtuous, more than enough to be a royal concubine, but unfortunately, she was a concubine.

I don't know who should be able to hold back such a beauty, the road to becoming a concubine in the future is not easy, Princess Xun sighed.

"He's a good boy. I've seen him from a distance a few times at the banquet before, and now I look at him carefully. He looks really handsome. The blessing between his brows can't be concealed no matter what. I don't have anything to give away from my concubine. This jade pendant It was specially given to you by the prince."

Princess Xun took out a jade pendant and handed it to Meng Lianyan. Meng Lianyan took it shyly and blessed her body, "Thank you, Princess Xun, for the reward."

In fact, Meng Lianyan had come a long time ago and had been hiding behind the screen. Princess Xun hadn't let her go. When she came from outside, her palms were warm and sweaty.
