Chapter 148 Come to visit, step-mother-in-law!

Concubine Xu is the successor of Prince Rong. After Princess Bai 'passed away from illness', Emperor Yongping was 'worried' that his brother would have no wife to serve him, and his nephew would have no mother to take care of him.

Beautiful name: The family background of the second wife should not be higher than that of the original spouse. If she gets too powerful, it may be bad for the nephew.So Concubine Xu's family background is really not that good!It's just a distant relative of Duan Xiurong, the mother of King Chang'an in the palace, who has been defeated for a long time, and the family doesn't even have a distant relative of Jing'er official...

The family affairs are mediocre, the moral character is mediocre, and the appearance is mediocre, but her temper and disposition are not "mean".In Shen Cangyu's words, she pretended and faked, she was so stupid, and the most frightening thing was that she still thought she was very smart, she had plotted against Shen Cangyu over and over again, and was always begging Duan Xiurong in the palace. Thinking that Megatron Rong Wang's mansion stood on the head of Rong Wang and his son.

Comparing with Xu Shi, the big house of the Marquis of Anling, apart from not being as beautiful as her, Concubine Xu is also not as 'well-behaved' as her self-knowledge.Whether the Xu family can't do it or not, at least I can understand it.Even if he wants to seize power, he still thinks about it, and he is very able to listen to the advice of those around him.As for Concubine Xu, she obviously couldn't do it, she had to think she was smart, she was the kind of 'you are all idiots, just follow the instructions of my wise and mighty concubine. 'People! !

However, this person has no ability, but his ability to cause trouble is comparable to that of Pei's. He can make a big death, but he can't take on a big one. She is the one talking about it! !

"In recent years, she has caused some troubles, but fortunately, she has been taken care of by her father, so there are no unmanageable consequences." This 'she' is obviously Concubine Xu, "Originally, she first married into the palace. At that time, both I and my father still had some expectations for her. Although I can't regard her as my own mother, in the end I still..."

Princess Bai died of illness when her son was three years old and before he could remember much.Even if Shen Cangyu was born a child prodigy, he had to admit that the impression of the word mother was very hazy in his mind.

He lived with his father since he was a child, and was 'abducted' by Emperor Yongping when he was five years old.Even if King Rong loves him and treats him like his life, father's love can never completely replace mother's love.

Therefore, in Shen Cangyu's childhood, he did not accept any kindness from women.As for Concubine Xu, Shen Cangyu's justifiable 'mother', she was given to Prince Rong's Mansion when he was six years old.

At a young age, he had just been abducted, and returned to his father after going through all kinds of hardships.At that time, the little Shen Cangyu was very timid. If Concubine Xu Jifei didn't say that she loved him like a biological mother, but only showed some sincere concern to him, now, in Prince Rong's mansion, it may not be impossible for mother to be kind and filial.

Even if it is Rong Wang, although he has decided to love only one woman, Princess Bai, for the rest of his life.But if Concubine Xu Ji is really a woman who can touch his heart and is sincere to their father and son... Wouldn't King Rong be moved after a long time?

After all, the dead are dead!Even if you are in love, with a warm, sincere step-wife by your side, King Rong is hard-hearted, and you will be moved if you think about it.What's more, King Rong himself is not a cold person.Moreover, as the only son, Shen Cangyu did not let his father and king spend his whole life alone to miss his mother's thoughts.

When Concubine Xu Ji entered Prince Rong's mansion for the first time, both Prince Rong and Shen Cangyu looked forward to her arrival, even if they couldn't immediately accept her as a wife and mother... But I have to say that they were all full of goodwill and wanted to... Have a good time.

It's a pity that Concubine Xu Ji, whom they were looking forward to, dealt them a heavy blow neatly.

It's a godsend to have an ordinary appearance. Rong Wang is not a lustful person, and he will not be disappointed with her because of his stepmother's bad looks.The ability is mediocre, this is acquired and unteachable, as long as he is willing to learn, Rong Wang is not unable to teach.As for not being very smart... this is a matter of nature, and there is no way around it, as long as you don't cause trouble, have self-knowledge, and people are not smart--King Rong can still accept it.

But...if you have a bad temper, it's really terrible! !

When Concubine Xu Ji entered Prince Rong's mansion for the first time, she didn't do anything. On the second day of her wedding, she took Shen Cangyu to kill chickens and respect monkeys.When visiting her mother, she pushed King Rong away, enough to make Shen Cangyu, her 'son', kneel for more than a quarter of an hour.The kneeling child's knees were red and swollen, and the pain continued.Later, it was even more difficult and harsh.

Why do you say that Xu Jifei's IQ is not high?That's the reason, you are a stepmother with no obvious family background, marrying in... Even if you want to be a 'evil stepmother', at least you should get acquainted with the locals first, get trapped by men, and give birth to a child by yourself. Good 'practice'!

But I don't like her, she's so maverick, she didn't have a firm foothold in the house, so she just went head-to-head with her husband's only son!Moreover, the most important thing is that there is no technical content at all.You want to talk about playing tricks, raising waste, although the method is old, but you can advance or retreat, if you are really caught, you still have room to argue...

But Xu Jifei is not, she is so magnanimous, she just wants to be 'positive'.As for Shen Cangyu at that time, she was only a six-year-old baby. Although Concubine Xu Ji was not smart, she was a normal adult. Yes, I will give Shen Cangyu to 'Fenghan'!

Fortunately, King Rong really cared about his son, even if he didn't know much about backyard methods, he could always see his son was sick.But the courtyard was full of people grabbing the maids and beating the nanny, and they "shoveled" Shen Cangyu's Qingcang courtyard like "shoveling" the ground, and then, with almost no effort, he "caught" the briber. Call Xu Jifei.

The mood of each other's kings is the same as the day's 'that'.

This method, this secrecy work, is so stupid that people can't bear to look directly at it.

But, no matter what, people were bestowed by Emperor Yongping.With the emperor as a guarantor, it is impossible for Hugh to take a break.King Rong also thought about whether he should simply let her 'die of illness' to avoid trouble, but after thinking about it, at his age and status, it is impossible for Emperor Yongping to let him remain single. Too many 'Wang Jifei, Li Jifei'...

The next one may not be as stupid as Concubine Xu Ji! !

Yes, sometimes a fool is stupid, and it is really more troublesome than a smart person, but in the situation of King Rong, his son is too young, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the back house. The deep princess came in... 100% quietly raised his son!And let him not notice it!

King Rong only has this one son, if he is gone, there will be no successors! !

For the sake of his son's safety, Rong Wang suppressed his anger and 'forgave' Xu Jifei, but he never got close to her.After so many years, Shen Cangyu is the only child under King Rong's knees, no more than other powerful families.

"Cangyu, what do you mean...she will trouble me?" Luo Chuchen raised an eyebrow, squinted at him, and very naturally changed the original title of 'mother' to 'she'.

"Don't even think about it, she will naturally." Shen Cangyu smiled contemptuously.

Because she cannot be trusted by her husband, she has no child under her knees.Even though Prince Rong's mansion does not have concubines and concubines, the position of Concubine Xu Jifei is still not safe. Ever since the incident of killing him broke out, Prince Rong has quietly emptied Concubine Xu's housekeeping power.

Before Princess Bai's 'died of illness', she kept a group of able elderly people behind. Naturally, her intention was to protect her son.But everything is in order, after Rong Wang emptied Xu Jifei, and started to take care of the affairs of the house...

Those 'old men' were arrested by King Rong, who was almost driven crazy by the calculation of accounts, and temporarily waited for the management of the inner house.

This "temporary waiting" has been "temporary waiting" for more than ten years. These old people roamed everywhere in the palace, in various fields, whether it is the big kitchen, the housekeeping room, the treasure room, the sewing room, the tea room, Neku...they're everywhere.

It can almost be said that the daily operation of the entire Prince Rong's Mansion depends on them.

However, the issue of identity is irreversible.A slave is still a slave no matter how powerful he is, and a master is useless...that is also a master.No matter how you look at it, Concubine Xu Ji is the right and proper mistress of Prince Rong's Mansion, even if she is ostracized.But as long as she lives and exists, she will cause endless troubles to those who handle the affairs.

After all, she is a living person with a strong desire for power, and she is not willing to enter the "retirement life" in advance. Whenever she has the opportunity, she always wants to come out to play and feel a sense of existence.

"She is the stepmother, and she doesn't get along well with my father and son, so it's inevitable that I feel a little guilty. But Chen'er, you..." Looking at Luo Chuchen, Shen Cangyu smiled dotingly, and stroked her hair, "You are my daughter." His wife, who was bestowed by the imperial decree, has a treasure seal and a jade plate, Rong Wang Shizi and concubine, and she is the head mother of the family."

"It's normal for you to marry into the mansion and want the housekeeping right. As long as the father doesn't object, and I support it, the housekeeping right is at your fingertips. Faced with such a situation, will Mrs. Xu be happy?" He shook his head with a slight expression on his face. With a worried look, "I think about it, when she greets you this time, she will definitely trouble you and show you off, so that you will be in awe of her and dare not do it lightly."

——After all, this is her old method!

"Cangyu is worried about me?" Luo Chuchen looked at Shen Cangyu's face, saw his nod with an unnatural expression, suddenly covered his lips and smiled, and said to himself: "We are not married blindly, what is wrong with me?" His temper...you still don't understand?"

The Duke Cheng's Mansion, which was able to kill the foreign families of the two dynasties, and the Anling Marquis Mansion, which was headed by powerful ministers...Although we took advantage of the enemy's secrets and helped Shen Cangyu, what is Luo Chuchen's chirality?Then you need a watch?She didn't pay much attention to people like the Pei family, so why should she be afraid of a mere Concubine Xu?

——I can't kill her! !

"Oh? Then, I'll just look at Chen'er's methods!" Shen Cangyu couldn't help chuckling.

……

The breakfast was over soon, and seeing that it was getting late, Luo Chuchen, as a newlywed, naturally had to go to Rongwang Zhengyuan to meet his 'father-in-law and mother-in-law'.

Of course, Shen Cangyu was naturally by his side, accompanying him.

Different from ordinary people, in Prince Rong's mansion, or because he really doesn't like Xu Jifei, he doesn't want his son to bow his head too much to her... King Rong has already issued an order, and only said: "Prince Rong's mansion is not prosperous. There is only one son, and his body is weak, and he is afraid that he will be tired and damaged. Filial piety is not in practice, but in heart. '

The meaning is obvious, that is, there is no need for Shen Cangyu to come to the main courtyard every morning and evening like clocking in at work, to kowtow to his parents! !The real father and son don't need to be false, but what about the fake mother and son over there... Hehe, isn't the purpose of giving up the right to be a father just to prevent the son from kowtowing to the stepmother? ?
However, although there is no need to wake up in the morning and evening, it is necessary for the bride to visit her in-laws on the second day of the wedding.As a considerate and good husband, Shen Cangyu must accompany him!

Although Chen'er said that she didn't care about Xu's making things difficult at all, it was completely trivial, but Shen Cangyu couldn't help being a little worried.

Dressed neatly, he reached out to support Luo Chuchen, who was overworked and somewhat weak-legged.The young couple left the Qingcang courtyard and went to the main courtyard together.

"Chen'er, over there is the Thousand Carp Pond. The fiery red koi they raise are said to be donated by foreigners. They were originally raised in the palace, but that year when the father and king had a banquet, the Empress Dowager Pei specially gave them here..." While walking , while pointing at the courtyards and scenery of Prince Rong's Mansion.Shen Cangyu carefully explained to Luo Chuchen.

After all, this will be Luo Chuchen's home in the future, so naturally the sooner you get to know him, the better.

"Really? I've never seen a foreign fish!" Luo Chuchen looked around curiously, then pointed to the lush forest in the distance, "Where is that place..."

"After the greetings are over, I will accompany you to enjoy it." Shen Cangyu agreed gently, and then said: "There is a plum blossom forest over there, which was planted by my concubine during her lifetime..." This concubine mother is naturally not Xu Jifei, but It is the deceased Princess Bai. "My mother and concubine grew up in the border. She only loves the wild snow and the old plums in cold branches. After she married into the capital, she raised a plum forest in the mansion..."

The two walked while talking, and arrived at the main courtyard of Prince Rong's Mansion in a short while.

Prince Rong - as the well-deserved male master of Prince Rong's Mansion, the main courtyard where he lives is undoubtedly the most luxurious and wealthy place in the entire Prince Rong's Mansion.

Moreover, King Yinrong's mansion was bestowed by the late Emperor when he was still in power.It occupies a very large area. The first emperor loved his youngest son so much that he bestowed the mansion land on to the king. It was the two royal mansions of the previous dynasty that were put together in one place. The inner walls were opened up and they were carefully renovated before being given.

Needless to say, the scenery in the mansion, pavilions, pavilions, pools, pavilions, green pines and cypresses, rockery and strange rocks...Luo Chuchen has just seen it a long time ago, so it can be said...it is almost a scene in three steps, and a painting in five steps.And when she reached the main courtyard where King Rong lived, she took a step forward, looked up, and couldn't help but smack her tongue.

I saw the courtyard surrounded by pink walls, green willows hanging around, five gate towers with hanging flowers, and loach ridges with barrel tiles on them.The verandahs on all sides are all finely carved with fresh patterns, without vermilion powder coating, the walls are polished with water in one color, and the white stone platform below.

The corridors in the courtyard connect with each other, decorated with mountains and rocks, beautiful trees are verdant, exotic flowers are shining, and a clear stream flows from the depths of the flowers and trees to the crevices of the rocks.

The entire courtyard can be described as magnificent, graceful and luxurious, full of flowers and exquisitely carved.Under the window sill, there are full shelves of roses, in full bloom.

"My God, the courtyard where the father lives is so big...it can almost be compared to other people's houses!" Seeing such a scene, Luo Chuchen shook his head and sighed softly, then frowned again, and said suspiciously "It's just...how do I feel that this yard doesn't look like a..." Where does the man live? ?
Speaking of which, this is King Rong's courtyard, right?Looking at this appearance, how could there be such a strong powdery smell?
"This was the father's yard, but when Mrs. Xu came, it belonged to her!" Shen Cangyu twitched the corners of her mouth, her voice was slightly low, and seeing Luo Chuchen's raised eyebrows puzzled, she explained: "She Since Xu Nai is the mistress of the house, she should live in the main courtyard, and my father didn't want to argue with her over this matter, so he simply gave up the courtyard to her."

"As for the current appearance..." He glanced at the rich and dignified attire, afraid that others would not know the rich appearance of the owner of the yard, shrugged and said: "It was the Xu family who asked someone to change it later."

In other words, King Rong is also unlucky, to have such a step-wife, fight with her, it will be detrimental to manliness.Don't argue with her...the house is gone! !Originally, since he was conferred the title of prince, he has been living in the main courtyard with Princess Bai. Later, when Princess Bai left, he was saddened by the sight, so he lived alone in the front courtyard. Only after being married to Concubine Xu, I've only lived in the main courtyard for a few days, but I didn't expect...

In just a few days, this courtyard was occupied by Xu Jishi. Fortunately, in order to protect the 'memories' with Princess Bai, before the stepmother married in, King Rong moved all the original things in the house into the warehouse. Otherwise, seeing the yard changed like this, King Rong might cry to death.

"Oh, the son and the young mistress have come to pay their respects to the prince and concubine!!" While the young couple were feeling emotionally towards the courtyard, a "red and willow green" maid suddenly trotted out of the main courtyard, wearing a pink dress and a green skirt, with a coat The goose-yellow lining, and two bright red silk flowers on the head, the scene is so exciting that Luo Chuchen's eyes are almost blind.

"The maidservant, Hua Cong, kowtows to the son and the young mistress." The 'Hua' maid, no, it was Hua Cong, who ran up to Luo Chuchen with a bright smile on her face, and kowtowed with a sound of 'boom', carrying dust flying On the ground, "Master Shizi, the young mistress is auspicious."

"No, there's no need to be too polite, let's get up!" Luo Chuchen nodded calmly.Next to her, Dan Qing, who received a signal from her, hurried forward, took out his purse from his sleeve, and offered a reward.

"Thank you, young mistress, for your kindness." Holding the purse, I felt the 'weight' inside.The flowers are not in full bloom.

"Father, mother and concubine are there?" Shen Cangyu, who had been twitching since the flowers appeared, asked in a 'heavy' voice, avoiding her face as much as possible.

"If you come back to the son, the prince and the concubine have been waiting for you and the young mistress!" Hua Cong hurriedly said, "Just now, the prince saw you and the young mistress entering the courtyard, so he let the slaves come out to greet you."

"Okay then, you lead the way, and my wife and I will go to pay respects to father and mother." Shen Cangyu raised her hand.

Hua Cong hurriedly turned around and trotted forward to lead the way.

"What...what's the situation?" What's your family's aesthetics?Luo Chuchen won't talk about her appearance, after all, it's a gift from God, but this kind of clothes match - tender pink clothes, water green skirt, goose yellow silk clothes, and two big red flowers...

It's not just hot eyes! !It's still very harmful, okay?
"It's okay, Chen'er, you will get used to it." Shen Cangyu replied expressionlessly.

Looking at his appearance, Luo Chuchen suddenly had an ominous premonition.

So, following behind Shen Cangyu with a feeling of trepidation, she stepped into the gate of the main courtyard of Prince Rong's Mansion.
