Resourceful beauty

Chapter 162
On the tenth day of March, Fang Ruhua gave birth to Sister Yan's full moon, and the Wulingbo Mansion was full of guests.

From the beginning of the year, Uncle Wuling first took over the Northwest camp, and now he led troops to Ningbei for reinforcements. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Holy One valued Uncle Wuling very much. Therefore, even if it was just a granddaughter's full moon banquet, Uncle Wuling's mansion was extravagant. All famous families in the capital are invited.

Su Yuan was "seriously ill" and was still unable to attend. Fang Ruxuan and Concubine Wu were the ones who went to Wulingbo Mansion that day.

After confinement, Fang Ruhua added a bit of plumpness, and with her fair skin and bright smile, she added a bit of grace and luxury to the concubine.

And this year's integration into the life of the aristocratic ladies in the capital also made Fang Ruhua a good dancer with long sleeves, which was praised by both predecessors and future generations.

Concubine Wu watched her daughter warmly greet those wives and ladies to sit down, her attitude was warm and natural, and she would joke a few words from time to time to adjust the atmosphere, with a proud expression on her face.

Sister Yan, who was a baby in red silk satin, was white and plump, with vivid eyebrows and eyes, no matter how many people around her she was not timid, rolling her eyes, or eating her fingers, looking like she was enjoying herself.

Fang Ruhua felt that if she had another son, her life would be perfect.

After the afternoon banquet was over and the guests had left, Fang Ruhua had the time to talk to Concubine Wu personally. As soon as she opened her mouth, Fang Ruhua asked about the affairs of the palace.

It is said that King Qi is seriously ill, and Princess Qi fell ill after thinking about it, but now King Qi has returned from the palace in good condition, but Princess Qi is still recuperating, living in seclusion.

Counting it, it seems that Princess Qi has not shown her face in front of people since the end of the New Year.

The people in this capital city are all fine people. If you say something to me, it takes a few months to figure out what to make up.

Fang Ruhua naturally cared about whether it was her natal family, but she had been in confinement, and she didn't have time to think about it. Now that she had nothing to do, Fang Ruhua was still thinking about the cooperation with Qiu Shumin, so she hurriedly asked.

How does Concubine Wu know about the Yixin Palace?King Qi went in and out twice, the first time he took Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan with him, and the last time he went alone. Concubine Wu only knew that after that, the Yixin Palace was more closely guarded, and even the servants went around Yixin Palace. Xin Dian walked away, as if there were ghosts and ghosts in it.

"However, it's probably related to what I told you earlier."

Lowering her voice, Concubine Wu said mysteriously.

The previous incident is the cause of Su Xin's death.

Fang Ruhua knew it well, and shook Concubine Wu's arm, "Mother, is it different in the mansion these days?"

Concubine Wu thought about it, shook her head, and then her eyes lit up, "Your fifth sister's marriage was originally settled, and the prince fell in love with a Jinshi who was listed on the list. The Lang's family background is average, but he is simple and innocent. If you have such a temper, you won't suffer any disadvantages if you marry. But you can't help the fifth girl who has a big heart. Thinking that you have become a concubine, she can't be worse than you, so she twisted her hair and said that she wanted to be a sister-in-law. Who would want to, my lord Don’t listen to her at all, put down the cruel words, don’t want to marry, it’s fine, whether you want to seek death, or want to be a sister-in-law, it’s all up to her, now, no one dares to approach the Fifth Maid’s Court.”

The huge Prince Qi's Mansion, Yixin Hall and Fang Ruhui's courtyard became two places that everyone avoided.

Fang Ruhua's smile became more and more complacent, "In the past, she was a concubine, but later she became a second concubine. Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui followed the tide, so they ignored me even more. One concubine and another concubine on the left, lest I don't care. Remembering my identity, it's good now, but the two of them are legitimate daughters, and they are more than a star and a half behind me?"

"It's not..."

Concubine Wu is also proud.

The mother and daughter talked for more than an hour before Concubine Wu got up to say goodbye. In the evening, she went to the main room to greet her mother-in-law. Fang Ruhua and Qiu Shumin got together.

"You mean, Princess Qi is under house arrest, and Fang Ruxuan has nothing to do with it?"

Hearing such shocking news, Qiu Shumin was somewhat unexpected: No matter what extraordinary things Princess Qi has done, she is Fang Ruxuan's stepmother in name. Fang Ruxuan couldn't escape the crime of being disrespectful.

If Su Yuan had another good or bad thing, a crime of forcing her stepmother to death, it would be enough for Fang Ruxuan to drink a pot.

Thinking in this way, Qiu Shumin suppressed his excitement and asked about the inside story of Su Yuan's house arrest.

After all, family ugliness should not be publicized, Fang Ruhua said vaguely, but Qiu Shumin has been in the capital for many years, and he has heard about eight hundred if not a thousand secrets, and guessing randomly, it is probably close to the truth.

There was a hint of eagerness in Qiu Shumin's eyes, "Tell me, is Mrs. Liu involved in the inside story of the former Princess Qi's death?"

Lamenting that Qiu Shumin grasped the key point so quickly, Fang Ruhua said ambiguously, "I don't know. Whether what happened back then is true or not, I'm afraid only the concubine herself knows it in her heart, and we have no way of knowing."

"I don't know how Princess Qi is doing now. If there is something wrong with her, if Fang Ruxuan is not swallowed by rumors this time, my surname is not Qiu."

Qiu Shumin said bitterly.

The two talked for a while, thinking about their daughter who was still in the house, Fang Ruhua greeted Qiu Shumin, and hurried back to Yanshuang Pavilion. Behind them, Qiu Shumin stood in front of the nursery, meditating for a long time.

The next day, Fang Ruhua posted a message to Fang Ruyu.

At Sister Yan's full moon banquet, Fang Ruyu did not come. I don't know if it was because of something at home, or because she was worried that the huge formation in Wulingbo Mansion hurt her eyes.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruyu and her maid came to visit and visited Mrs. Wulingbo in the main room, and then followed Fang Ruhua back to Yanshuang Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the room, Fang Ruhua anxiously talked about Prince Qi's residence.

Frightened in her heart, she had to put on a heartbroken look on her face, Fang Ruyu said softly: "Father has been recovering from his illness for some time, but mother and concubine are under house arrest, even the fifth younger sister is under house arrest. In this moment, how dare I touch my father's fate? After all, I am also a married daughter, so it is not easy to meddle in the affairs of my natal family. Now, I only hope that my father can calm down soon and release my mother and concubine from Yixin Palace. Let's be together as a family."

Fang Ruhua frowned and interrupted Fang Ruyu, "Second sister, is she confused? This is the time, even if father is angry, you have to persuade him, otherwise, if father believes what others say, won't he fulfill the princess's promise?" If I want to wait for my father to calm down and let the princess out, I'm afraid it will be impossible."

Bystanders, of course, refer to Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan.

How could Fang Ruhua not know how much Fang Zhengjun's brother and sister hated Su Yuan's mother and daughter. Hearing Fang Ruhua's words now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true, and immediately panicked, "Then tell me, what should I do now?"

The situation at this moment is very similar to when the sisters were still in their boudoir. At that time, whenever Fang Ruyu wanted to bully Fang Ruxuan, her idea must be to ask for it from Fang Ruhua.

Fang Ruhua pondered for a while, and said with some concern: "Now, I just don't know what the princess said in front of my father. If she didn't admit it, or she admitted it herself, it would be easy to say. After all, a husband and wife, even if father knows the truth , and will not do anything to the princess. After all, family ugliness should not be publicized. The current Princess Qi killed the previous Princess Qi and then came to power. It will definitely be concealed, and only the princess will be punished in the mansion."

Fang Ruyu nodded again and again, listening more carefully, but saw Fang Ruhua change the topic, "But if the princess says something else, I'm afraid my father won't be so easily persuaded by the second sister. Sister, it will be troublesome."

This was what Fang Ruyu was most worried about, so these days, she didn't even dare to go back to Prince Qi's mansion to see King Qi who had "returned from illness".

"Then what should I do? Is it possible that the mother and concubine will be kept in the Yixin Palace forever?"

Fang Ruyu asked anxiously.

Fang Ruhua pondered with a face of embarrassment, and after a while, she seemed to make up her mind and said: "No matter what, the second elder sister will go and find out what the princess has said, and see what the princess has said, and what is the attitude of the father. It's good to discuss. Otherwise, the concubine always doesn't show up, causing people in the capital to speculate wildly, and we will also lose face."

This sentence sounded like Fang Ruhua was also worried about her own reputation, so Fang Ruyu felt that her words were more credible, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The two sisters chatted affectionately with each other. When Fang Ruyu sent the congratulatory gift to Sister Yan, Fang Ruhua thanked her, but did not forget to complain.

The embarrassment of dealing with the seventh and eighth aunts, the difficulty of walking on thin ice in Wulingbo Mansion, and the difficulty of giving birth to a daughter, even Han Song's love for Aunt Qin, Fang Ruhua cried and complained.

Seeing that the depression on Fang Ruyu's face slowly faded when she entered the door, replaced by sympathy for herself, Fang Ruhua secretly smiled in her heart, and when she parted, she still held Fang Ruyu's hand and persuaded her heart-to-heart: "Second sister, now I can see through Now, this person, he has to be more selfish, and think about himself in everything. Otherwise, if he looks forward and backward, he will lose his own face, what's more, his own life."

Seemingly understanding but not understanding, Fang Ruyu nodded and left Wulingbo Mansion.

In the carriage, Fang Ruyu couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive at the thought of going back to Prince Qi's mansion within a few days, and secretly speculated: What did mother say?Su Xin tampered with the last bowl of fatal medicine before she died, did her mother tell her?If she said so, what would her father do to her?
Countless questions hovered in her heart, and Fang Ruyu felt that the sweat on her palms and her back made her feel a little guilty.

I blame my mother for being too impatient and slowly killing Su Xin. Is she still not Princess Qi?It's too much to do, now that she's taking advantage of her freedom, even herself will be taken into account.

Thinking wildly, Fang Ruyu felt a trace of resentment in her heart.
