Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 208

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, the brothers missed the opportunity to meet the empress because they were guarding the capital, and the third brother also did the same. Although he didn't need to patrol and guard the capital, he was a bastard and couldn't sit with the Marquis of Yongning.He can only stay with his classmates on the stage of the common people and watch the dragon boat race.He didn't even attend the palace banquet at night, so Fang Li could only spend it with a few young nephews.

"Your Majesty, this is a fruit that was brought as a tribute from outside. It is said to be a Fanbang fruit. The emperor rewarded the master with five, and the servant cut one for the master to taste."

Mei Chun came in with a plate of sliced ​​dragon fruit.

"..."

Shu Ning, who doesn't like eating dragon fruit, turned her head. For some reason, she didn't get used to eating this dragon fruit in her previous life, and of course she doesn't want to eat it in this life.

"Put it here!"

The reward that everyone in the palace envied was dismissed by Shu Ning. If those concubines who didn't get any reward in the palace knew about it, they would definitely hack her to death with a knife.

"Yes."

Mei Chun put down the dragon fruit and stood aside respectfully, the master kept turning the pages of the book.

After half an hour, it was time for Shu Ning to read, so she put down the book.

"You guys share this and eat!"

After thinking about it, Shu Ning gave three more to Marquis Yongning, and the remaining one was also shared among the people around her.

"Thank you, master."

Never thought that the master didn't like to eat. Somewhat surprised, Mei Chun went out with a plate, greeted Liu Nanny and Bai Nanny, and the other three sisters shared the food with Hou Lin and tasted it.At the same time, Hou Lin was asked to make a trip to send the remaining three to the Yongning Hou Mansion.Although the emperor forbids people from the Hou's mansion to see the empress, the empress can still send people to the Hou's mansion.

This can be regarded as the emperor's concession for the sake of the concubine's pregnancy!

"Aifei, I heard that you don't like to eat that kind of fire fruit? I tasted it and it's not bad?"

"It's just that I don't like to eat, and the emperor is bothering me."

The emperor didn't get much. It's a lot for a concubine to reward five at once. After all, besides the empress and queen mother, the emperor also rewarded some important officials.Even the Marquis of Yongning rewarded two, plus the ones sent by the imperial concubine, there are five.

Not everyone thinks this food is good, but it is this rarity that makes people who get dragon fruit feel decent.The Marquis of Yongning was like this, he had two rewards from the emperor himself, plus the gift from the imperial concubine, he got five at once.

Mrs. Yu Shangtai sent one each to her and Wang's natal families, and when the grandchildren came back from rest, the family shared the remaining three.

"It's okay, but the taste is a bit bland."

Fang Ren felt a little uncomfortable after eating, he didn't feel as refreshed as he usually eats fruit, maybe it's because of too little.There are many family members in Fang, and each person only gets a small piece, and after one or two bites, there is nothing.

"Okay, you, it's good to have a taste, many people in the capital have never tasted it!"

Usually, by looking at the emperor's rewards, you will know which families should be reused and which ones will be left behind.

Just like the Rongguo Palace, when it comes to rewards, the emperor rewarded them with a copy of "Women's Admonitions", and the shameful Rongguo took sick leave again.

"The hearts of the people are not enough, and the snake is greedy for the elephant. Why did the Rongguo Palace send the daughter-in-law into the palace? Isn't it just to win glory and wealth for the Duke's Palace? But I don't want to think about it. If the emperor really has such thoughts, it will be our mother's turn?"

Marquis Yongning sometimes still thinks, if the emperor hadn't rejected nobles and aristocratic families so much, wouldn't their second daughter not have to enter the palace?
But all this is just conjecture. The reality is that the emperor really doesn't like to see nobles and aristocratic families, and thinks that many of them are resident insects of the country.

"Yes."

The brothers Fang Xian stood up and listened to Hou Yongning's lecture.

At the same time, Zuo Xiangfu.

"Father, mother~"

Mrs. Chang wiped her tears in front of Zuo Xiang and Zuo Xiang's wife.

"What's the matter with you coming back suddenly? Did you quarrel with your son-in-law?"

Mrs. Zuo Xiang looked at her crying daughter, feeling very distressed.

"Mother, my husband actually wants to take care of the child, and that bitch's belly has been growing for several months." Chang Shi gritted her teeth when she mentioned her husband. She had only been married for a year, and the other party couldn't wait to raise her. Picking them up in the outer room and wanting to have a concubine's eldest son, which family has such rules?
"What? He dares?"

It was not Mrs. Zuo Xiang who was furious, but Zuo Xiang.

It's not that his daughter is incapable of giving birth, but she dared to raise a foreign room outside, and her belly was still several months old, which meant that he didn't take Zuo Xiangfu seriously.

"Father, you must decide for your daughter!"

Chang's eyes flashed fiercely when she thought of what her husband had said to her.Since he is not benevolent, don't blame yourself for being unrighteous.

"Don't worry, my father will make the decision for you."

Zuo Xiang still loves this eldest daughter very much, and she is also his eldest daughter.

However, seeing his daughter crying sadly, Prime Minister Zuo doubted their decision at the beginning.Look at the noble concubine in the palace, although she has to compete with many women for favor, the emperor treats her really well.Because she was pregnant with a dragon seed, the emperor spared her from kneeling.

Seeing that the Longevity Festival is coming again, last year the concubine's two songs shocked everyone, and this year I don't know what kind of gift the concubine will give?
"Father, my daughter regrets it, my daughter really regrets it."

Chang's wiped her tears, if she had entered the palace from the very beginning, wouldn't she have faced her husband's change of heart and deceit?If there is no expectation at the beginning, she will not be sad.

Thinking of the honey in the past, it turned out that the other party lied to him, and Chang's heart was full of regret.

"My poor daughter~"

Not only Mrs. Chang regretted it, but even Mrs. Zuo Xiang regretted it.

If she had known that today would happen, she would not have said anything to prevent her daughter from entering the palace, but what would she do now that her daughter is like this!
