Second-hand lady

Chapter 20

What happened next, in Miss Er Cui's eyes, it was a group of glamorous women rushing forward to flatter an old lady, and by the way, use her to kill their children, stabbing secretly a few times from time to time to make the old lady happy.

Miss Rucui expressed no pressure on this, because what they said was too cryptic, Miss Ercui blinked her eyes calmly, with an expression that I couldn't understand what you said, which made the ladies feel a little depressed, no Knowing whether she is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, that innocent and innocent look is really annoying.

The wives in the palace naturally heard some rumors that the Empress Dowager was previously the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhen for the eldest princess who was raised under her knees. Who would have thought that a Cheng Shajin was killed halfway, and this Cheng Yaojin's identity It was too low, so in the eyes of the world, the majestic royal princess lost to a maid, which made the empress dowager very angry.

As we all know, although Wen Liang is the son of Lord Zhen Guo, he lived in the palace for a while when he was a child, but the younger brother of Wen Zijing, the former companion of King Su, has a good relationship with King Su like a brother (father and son).The empress dowager was thinking of her past love and Duke Zhen's face, and the emperor was silent, so no matter how angry she was, she could only bear it and not send it to Wen Liang, but Mrs. Zhen Guo was recruited into the palace to suffer. A lot of scolding.

But not being able to make trouble against Wen Liang doesn't mean not being able to show power to the newly appointed Mrs. Wen Ercui. At this moment, the queen mother obviously wanted to lose face of Mrs. Wen, and some of the ladies present also agreed with her face.It can be said that among the wives who were under the age of 26 and seven, most of them had fantasies about the most beautiful man in the capital and the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, but as they got older, a certain beautiful man never returned to Beijing No matter how infatuated a woman is with him, she can't compete with the passing of time, and in the end she can only marry someone else as a wife sadly.But just when they gave up completely, Wen Liang came back, with the same beauty, but married a woman who was inferior to them in terms of family background and appearance, which naturally made people feel uncomfortable like a thorn in their hearts. In [-], it is estimated that they are the current Mrs. Wen's position.In this way, I can only sigh in vain that I am old when I was born!
Feeling uncomfortable, coupled with the intention to please the Queen Mother, so for a while there was a dark tide in the hall.

However, this kind of atmosphere only lasted for a while, and it seemed that the situation was about the same. Concubine Su, who had been pretending to be good for a long time, interjected in a timely manner, and the empress dowager's face froze when she spoke, and then she glared angrily, always displeasing her The daughter-in-law glanced at her and saw her innocent smile, and the empress dowager immediately became angry, but when she was about to get angry, she saw her little granddaughter Chuchu who was looking at her in the arms of Princess Su, and the little bun looked serious. It looked like her father's face was too lethal, and the empress dowager's anger was instantly extinguished.

The atmosphere was harmonious again.

Concubine Su knew that her little bun was a big killer for the queen mother, so she pushed the little bun out and asked her to pester the queen mother to show off her cuteness. The topic in the palace turned to the little bun of Su Wang's family again. Looking at that face that was exactly the same as King Su's, she was under a lot of pressure, so she could only speak flattering words insincerely, which made the empress dowager a lot of comfort. It can be seen that the empress dowager still treats the little princess of Su Wang's family very much.

Before the dinner, Miss Rucui couldn't find a chance to talk to Concubine Su, which made her feel a little regretful.

When the time was about to pass, some palace servants came to remind them that the wives would kneel down and leave the Chonghua Palace to go to the Royal Garden, and the Empress Dowager would go to the Royal Garden with the emperor, empress and concubines in the harem later.And this time the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was held in the Royal Garden.

It was just when the lanterns first came on, the palace people lit up the palace lanterns, and the whole imperial city was brightly lit, showing the royal dignity even more.In the imperial garden, well-dressed court ladies shuttled among the crowd with all kinds of exquisite food and wine. In addition to a group of princes and nobles and court officials in various court uniforms, there were also many unmarried men and women in all kinds of costumes. Quite brilliant, a bit of a blind date.

Although it was the Empress Dowager's birthday, on such an occasion, it was the easiest way to make connections and let the noble girls raised in deep boudoirs show their faces, so that those young talents could know which one had a girl who had just grown up.If they met each other, it would be another extremely sophisticated political marriage.

Well, in other words, this is also a blind date meeting in disguise, but it's just in the name of the Queen Mother's birthday.The empress dowager who loves to make troubles is also happy to see this kind of situation. Every year, shortly after her birthday, she will be happy when she hears that the two families have married Qin and Jin.

When people gradually arrived, after a chat, everyone sat down according to their status.

When Ru Cui arrived, she saw Wen Liang talking to two teenagers wearing princely costumes, Xu heard the voice, looked over with a smile, and found that after he saw her, Miss Ru Cui hurriedly waved her hand, seeing him beckoning to her In the past, Ru Cui walked over with Tsing Yi.

"Eldest prince and second prince, this is my wife Xia." Wen Liang introduced to the two teenagers, and also identified the identities of the two princes.

Miss Rucui stepped forward to salute and greeted the two princes: "My wife has seen the first prince and the second prince."

The eldest prince and the second prince are still teenagers. Although their faces are relatively immature, they already show the royal demeanor. The two princes have inherited the good genes of the royal family.However, under the gentle brilliance, these beautiful external conditions are like the light of fireflies next to the pearl, which is completely covered by its natural and outstanding brilliance, and it seems a bit eclipsed.

The two princes laughed and shouted, and respectfully cupped their hands and called "teacher"——Wen Liang is the prince's master handpicked by the emperor, and all princes must salute and greet him when they see him, and as Mrs. The mistress of the honored princes was respectfully called "mistress" by the two princes, and Miss Rucui could feel the envy and hatred in the eyes of the female relatives present in an instant.

The two princes secretly looked at the rumored Mrs. Wen, their eyes were dark, but they didn't show it on their faces, they exchanged a few words with Wen Liang, and then they left.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Liang also took Ru Cui to the corresponding seat and sat down, at the same time not forgetting to pay attention to her trip to Chonghua Palace.

"Don't worry, the concubine is here, and the empress dowager is amiable, she loves the little princess very much, but she has no time to talk to me."

Wen Liang expressed doubts, this is not compatible with the queen mother he knew, how could he not take the opportunity to save her face?

Miss Ru Cui continued to say with a smile: "Really, the little princess stood in front of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager was satisfied and speechless."

Are you being stalked to the point of being speechless?

Wen Liang finally understood, and couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking that there are very few people in this world who can not be influenced by the little princess of Su Wang's mansion, especially the little bun who looks so much like Su Wang, and the demeanor at such a young age makes him People can't bear to see.The empress dowager was obviously aggrieved by her serious young son, but she just abused herself. Among the many granddaughters, except for the eldest princess, the little princess of Su Wang's family is the most favored.

At this time, the eunuch's high-pitched voice sounded, and the empress dowager, the empress, and some concubines from the harem also entered the venue. The originally lively imperial garden suddenly fell silent, and everyone stood up to welcome it.
