Resourceful beauty

Chapter 124
A group of people followed King Qi to the Jingxin Pavilion, and returned to the Yixin Palace after a delay of half an hour. Su Yuan's face was extremely ugly.

Su Xin has passed away long ago, and now Princess Qi is her, Su Yuan, and Chen Mei, a newlywed, dares to play this trick, she is not afraid, and I will give her small shoes to wear in the future?
Even so, Su Yuan didn't dare to explode on the spot.

Fang Zhengjun was born to Su Xin. After all, Su Xin is Chen Mei's serious mother-in-law. Although Chen Mei's behavior was somewhat disrespectful to Su Yuan, it was in line with the rules and no one could find fault. Otherwise, why would even King Qi Didn't stop it?

Under Zhao Nanny's gaze, Su Yuan took a deep breath and sat back in her seat.

At the side, Chen Mei took a bowl of new tea from the tray held by the maid behind her, and respectfully said to Su Yuan: "Princess, please use tea..."

princess?She actually called herself princess?

Holding her breath in her chest, Su Yuan looked up at Chen Mei in disbelief.

With a beautiful face, exquisite makeup, and an impeccable gentle smile on her face, Chen Mei rushed towards Su Yuan holding a tea bowl, as if Su Yuan was just an insignificant guest, not her aunt.

How could she treat herself like this?
Su Yuan let out a sigh of relief, but did not take the tea bowl for a long time, and turned to look at King Qi, as if she was asking for an explanation from King Qi.

Just now in Jingxin Pavilion, in front of everyone, Chen Mei and Fang Zhengjun knelt down and kowtowed to Su Xin's memorial tablet.

It seemed that everything had been prepared long ago. Chen Mei took fresh melon and fruit snacks from the maid and placed them on the memorial tablet. Not only did she serve tea, but also some dishes that she had prepared by herself early in the morning. , Please accept it with a smile.

King Qi's satisfied smile didn't go into it. Fang Zhengjun who was beside Chen Mei seemed to be kept in the dark as well. At that moment, his eyes were bright and his face was full of pride.

With such a ceremony of offering tea, Chen Mei won the hearts of King Qi and Fang Zhengjun in one fell swoop on the second day after entering the door.

She didn't know what was going on in her mind, Su Yuan came back to her senses, and saw that everyone in the hall was looking at her, next to her ear, King Qi said impatiently: "The imperial concubine is offering you tea, why don't you hurry up?"

Between the words, it seems that she is still thinking that she is slow to pick up the tea?

But King Qi didn't realize that the title Chen Mei called her was not respectful enough?
He wanted to refute, but he was a little afraid of King Qi's temper. When the time comes, he blamed himself for finding fault on this happy day, but it would not be easy, and Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan, since they became Princess Qi, have been calling themselves "Princess" has never called "mother", Su Yuan knew that Chen Mei must have one heart with them and would not call her mother.

That's all, it's just a title, there will be more opportunities to deal with her in the future.

Thinking of comforting herself, Su Yuan reluctantly took the teacup and took a sip, took a mahogany box from Mother Zhao behind her, and handed it to Chen Mei.

Inside the box was a set of gemstones. Thinking of it now, Su Yuan felt a little distressed: If she had known that she would treat her like this, why would she spend so much money?
They met Concubine Wu, Concubine Shen, Concubine Yun and Concubine Zhu respectively, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Next came the brothers and sisters.

Fang Zhengru was the first, and Chen Mei gave him a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which was quite standard.

Fang Ruhui, Fang Ruxuan, and Fang Rulan were the three sisters, and Chen Mei treated them equally, each with a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets and a pair of red gold hairpins with magpies on the branches.

For Ping, who was still in his infancy, it was a gold collar with the words "Happy, Happy and Healthy" engraved on the collar.

Near noon, the tea ceremony for the newlyweds was successfully concluded.

Lunch was served in the Yixin Hall, except that Fang Ruyu followed Liu Yu to a village on the outskirts of the city to recuperate and couldn't make it back, so Prince Qi's mansion was considered a reunion.

Seeing that all the dishes were served, Chen Mei stood up and rolled up a piece of sleeve, as if preparing to serve King Qi and Su Yuan. King Qi waved his hands hurriedly, "There are not so many rules in the house, let alone you are the son of the prince. Concubine, sit down."

Chen Mei turned her head and glanced at Fang Zhengjun who was sitting beside her, saw him nodding at her, and sat down graciously.

Su Yuan curled her lips angrily.

As soon as the banquet started, King Qi straightened his face and cleared his throat. Obviously he had something to say, and everyone hurriedly turned their faces to look at King Qi.

"The matter in Wanzhou is not over yet. This time, it is the sage's grace, so I am allowed to go to Wanzhou after Jun'er's wedding. I will leave tomorrow. Therefore, I have something to tell you now."

Looking past the faces of his wives, concubines and children, King Qi glanced at Chen Mei, and Fang said: "Raising children to guard against old age is the same thing among the common people. Now that the sons of the world are married, they are considered adults. From now on, the people in the inner house will I will leave everything to the Crown Princess to take care of."

As if she had expected this to happen, Chen Mei kept silent and listened carefully.

On the side, Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen agreed in unison: "It should be so. Starting tomorrow, I will send all the account books and keys in my hand to the dead concubine. I must help the concubine to sort it out earlier."

King Qi nodded in satisfaction, looked back at Su Yuan, and said very "considerately": "Princess Wangfei has always been in poor health, so please don't bother her about matters in the house, let her rest well."

What she said made Su Yuan speechless. She couldn't jump out and refute, saying that she was in good health and could take care of the palace's inner house?

At that time, if those things from the past are pulled out, I will still be ashamed.

Su Yuan thought that King Qi would hand over the management of the inner house to Chen Mei, but she never expected that it would be so soon and in such a way.

Anyway, I am Princess Qi, even if I care about the face of Prince Qi's mansion, I have to put on a show anyway, let Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen hand over the matter to me, and let me hand it over to Chen Mei decently ?
I don't know if King Qi didn't consider this, or he simply didn't want to let her do it again. Now, in front of the concubines and children of the concubine, he made himself so ashamed by letting the two side concubines hand over to the eldest concubine.

Su Yuan's face, which had always been unsightly when offering tea, was already livid at this moment. Su Yuan was panting, and the two tasseled hairpins on her head were shaking from side to side, as if they were about to fall off her temples. down.

Although Su Yuan was in charge of the inner house, King Qi was the absolute authority in Prince Qi's mansion. No one could question his words, and immediately, everyone nodded in agreement.

Concubine Yun also smiled coquettishly and said: "It should be so. I am looking forward to the arrival of the concubine, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time. In the future, we will have a blessing."

After all, Concubine Yun's provocative eyes slid across Su Yuan's face unscrupulously. Su Yuan was holding the handkerchief, and the back of her hand was full of veins.

"in addition……"

Pretending to turn a blind eye to the strife between wives and concubines, King Qi said again: "In ordinary families, daughters-in-law have to set rules, and we are the palace, no exception."

Su Yuan's back, which was a little discouraged, straightened up immediately.

She had long thought that she would make Chen Mei suffer from these rules, and when the time comes, let's see how she will spend the money of the imperial concubine.

Originally, I thought that Chen Mei was a newlywed, and the family management would not fall on her so quickly, so I got up to greet her, and then served breakfast and lunch, and then invited Ann to serve dinner, and went back in the evening. , Chen Mei, who can still toss, is as disheveled as ever.

Now, she has to take care of the family. Although the population of the palace is simple, there are one or two hundred people in the whole family. When getting up early, she has to deal out the right cards and order the servants to do things. Chen Mei is not just getting up at the right time.

Thinking of Chen Mei's sallow complexion and clenching her teeth to serve in front of her, Su Yuan felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, and her anger seemed to gradually disappear after noon.

Seeing Su Yuanrou's calm expression, Fang Ruxuan secretly laughed in her heart.

On the side, King Qi said to himself: "Although the rules cannot be broken, they must be determined according to the circumstances. The concubine has to take care of the inner house, and daily chores are indispensable. Besides, opening branches and leaves is a top priority..."

Chen Mei lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks were warm, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart. The next moment, her hand fell into Fang Zhengjun's.

The man's palm was generous and warm, and Chen Mei's uneasy heart calmed down little by little.

Seeing the sweetness of his young couple's sweetness, Qi Wang smiled and said: "How about it, from now on, we will set a schedule in the morning and evening, once a ten-day period, there will not be so many red tapes, and you can all be more leisurely."

Amid Su Yuan's stunned astonishment, King Qi turned his head to look at Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen, "Ru Hua is already married, and Ru Lan is still young, so you should spend more time with Wang Concubine on weekdays."

Turning to Concubine Yun and Concubine Zhu again, he said, "Brother Ping is still young, Concubine Yun has worked hard, and Concubine Zhu has helped."

The four nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely harmonious.

As if something important was on his mind, King Qi sighed, turned his head and told Fang Zhengjun with a loving father's expression, "Once you are married, you should not act recklessly in the future. Discuss everything with your daughter-in-law more often. When you start a family, you always get married first." After establishing a career."

As he spoke, his gaze slid across Su Yuan's face intentionally or unintentionally. King Qi reprimanded Fang Zhengjun and said, "I have taught you on weekdays to think twice before doing anything. This time you are going to Wanzhou, I know you are thinking about why Father, I am very pleased, but, when you learned the news beforehand, don't you have to think about it? If you are still so reckless in the future and fall into other people's traps, when the time comes, the people who care about you will not only be for your father and Your sister is..."

Coming out of Wanzhou, he encountered a group of powerful robbers. After successfully intercepting and killing them, Fang Zhengjun guessed that he had been tricked.

Being taught by his father at this moment, Fang Zhengjun nodded with shame on his face.

Looking at Fang Ruxuan again, King Qi's eyes were filled with relief.

If she hadn't arranged for someone to deliver the letter to her, and had someone secretly protect her, this trip would not have been so easy, but if it hadn't been for her reminder, how could she have thought of handing over the family management to Chen Mei so quickly, as soon as possible? Clean up the smoky Prince Qi's mansion?

The eldest son became a success, married a Ruyi daughter-in-law, and his daughter was sensible and capable, King Qi was very pleased.

At this moment, Su Yuan realized belatedly: she was plotted by their father and son, father and daughter.

Everyone has their own taste for a meal, but only Su Yuan has the same taste.
