www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
After a while, Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao were ushered in by a housekeeper.
Mrs. Qiao was wearing a pea-green eight-cup Ruyi flower brocade trousers today. Her figure was straight, and her slightly raised chin revealed a hint of arrogance. Behind her was a young woman in her twenties with a delicate appearance, wearing an indigo-blue precious flower intertwined with silver thread patterns, and a scarlet bun with a red gold hairpin inlaid with emeralds. She was very jewel-like, but However, he looked a little timid and followed step by step.
After greeting each other, Nangong Yue invited Mrs. Qiao to sit down, while Mrs. Qiao’s wife Zhou stood behind her.
The maids presented tea, Mrs. Qiao stared at Nangong Yue expressionlessly for a while, and asked with some airs: "Prince Concubine, have you received a letter from Ayi recently? How is Huiling City lately? ?"
Ever since Qiao Ruolan was sent to Shuyao Women's Home, Mrs. Qiao was in a terrible mood. She was almost certain that Nangong Yue was behind it. She wanted to rush to Bixiao Hall to question her several times, but she couldn't. Finally, I endured it because——
Qiao Shenyu!
Qiao Shenyu is still far away in Huiling City, right under Xiao Yi's nose. If the imperial concubine is unhappy and writes a letter to complain, and Xiao Yi's unreasonable demon king makes excuses to embarrass his son, what will happen? manage?
So, she could only keep telling herself to be patient, to be patient... So, she has been patient until now.
It had been quite some time since Qiao Shenyu went to Huiling City, and not even a letter from home had been sent back. She couldn't help but go to Bixiaotang to ask Nangong Yue, so she simply took advantage of today to arrive early and send the girl to her home. Asked everything.
Nangong Yue saw Mrs. Qiao's intention at a glance and said with a smile: "The fighting in Huiling City has stopped, aunt, please don't worry."
Mrs. Qiao forced out a smile and said bravely: "Ayi is away at war, the Crown Princess should write more letters and ask questions. Especially today is the prince's birthday. As his son, Ayi cannot be his son. I'm sure I am also very worried about it. Why don't the Crown Princess write a letter to A Yi quickly and tell A Yi about today's grand occasion. I also want to ask A Yi by the way, how is my Yu'er doing recently? After all, Yu'er is the Crown Prince's cousin. , is naturally more reliable than others. If the Crown Prince arranges any errands for Yu'er, he will definitely be able to do it properly. Crown Princess, do you think this is not the case?"
Nangong Yue just smiled and nodded: "That's what my aunt said."
Seeing her being so helpless, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help frowning and secretly glared at her daughter-in-law, blaming her for her lack of eyesight and not knowing how to help.
Ms. Zhou noticed her mother-in-law's displeasure and said quietly: "The Crown Princess..."
"Auntie." Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup, gently used the tea lid to stir the foam, and said, "The prince once said, 'Good talents should be put to good use, and those who are capable will live in them.' My nephew and daughter-in-law heard that Yu Biao Brother, Wen, Tao, and military strategy are all masters. With such a capable person, the prince will naturally know how to make good use of others. Auntie, there is no need to worry, just wait patiently for Cousin Yu to return with meritorious service and honor the ancestors."
Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but choked. If she continued to persuade Nangong Yue to write to Xiao Yi, she would be admitting that her son was useless. To say the least, even if she admitted that her son was useless, Nangong Yue could still use it. She was speechless with the words "The able ones will live there".
This Nangong Yue is indeed a eloquent person. No wonder her younger brother has been coaxed into alienating herself recently!
But I can't do anything to her now!
Mrs. Qiao pinched the handkerchief fiercely, stood up, glared at Mrs. Zhou behind her, and scolded: "Useless thing!"
Knowing that he was offended, Zhou did not refute, but just lowered his head.
Nangong Yue said with a dignified smile: "It's still early, aunt and cousin, please go sit in the open hall at the back first."
Mrs. Qiao flicked her sleeves and left without looking back.
As the auspicious time approaches, the palace becomes more and more lively.
The concierge and the nun who greets guests are all so busy that they don’t even touch the floor. The first one to arrive was the Xiao family's villa, followed by the in-laws and the Gaomen mansion in southern Xinjiang...
The male guests were welcomed to the front yard, while the female guests were taken to the backyard.
There have been many mansions where Bixiaotang’s small banquets came to the banquet before, but it is completely incomparable with this time. Even if the female relatives of each mansion just exchanged a few words, Nangong Yue’s mouth was dry. , I don’t know how many times I have refilled the tea.
Fortunately, Concubine Wei and Xiao Fei helped to greet them, so everything was in order.
The married women and their wives and daughters were welcomed into the open hall. Occasionally, a few concubines came, and they were led to the westmost wing of the open hall to have tea.
The main room and the concubine room are clearly separated.
When Mrs. Fang Santai and her party arrived, it was no exception.
After Gui Putang and Nangong Yue met with each other, Mrs. Fang Santai and the others were led to the open hall by a steward.
Aunt Niu looked impatient and ordered the nun to take her to the clean room.
Their carriage has been waiting outside the palace for almost half an hour.
Although she has never officially attended a banquet at the palace, when she was in Bai Xicheng, no matter which banquet she went to, she would never be so neglected or kept waiting for such a long time!
The steward responded respectfully and asked two maids to lead Aunt Niu to the clean room... When Aunt Niu came back, she was led to the side room by the two maids.
When Aunt Niu saw it, she felt a little weird.
"I've seen Aunt Niu."
A woman wearing a parrot green lace jacket came forward with a smile.
Seeing the arrival of new guests, the three or four female family members in the room all looked over. These aunts were either because the master had not adopted the stepmother after the death of the principal wife of the mansion, or the principal wife was seriously ill, so he had no choice but to let the aunts accompany the girls in the mansion to the banquet.
They looked at Aunt Niu with a trace of scrutiny in their eyes, and thought to themselves: I don’t know which mansion’s aunt is actually dressed up so luxuriously, and all the jewelry and clothes around her are of high quality! Was it the old man who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, or was it the aunt who became the head of the family after the death of the main wife?
When Aunt Niu saw the woman welcoming the guests, her face was as dark as water, and she was convinced that something was wrong.
Isn’t this woman Qiu, the aunt of King Zhennan? She seems to be the biological mother of the fourth girl, Xiao Rongying.
Aunt Niu was so angry that she held her breath in her chest. Her face turned blue and white, and the colors changed wonderfully.
It’s unreasonable that the Zhennan Palace would neglect me so much and let an insignificant concubine entertain me.
Needless to say...
Aunt Niu looked around at the women sitting in the side room and frowned. Seeing that each of these people couldn't get on the stage, she looked like they were concubines from other places!
Aunt Niu really didn't want to stay here for a moment, so she turned around angrily and said angrily: "Where are my wife and my daughter-in-law? Why don't you lead me there?"
One sentence caused an uproar in the wing room and was stunned.
An aunt kept saying "my daughter-in-law"? ! This simply does not take the wife of the wife into consideration!
If she dares to speak so loudly in front of outsiders in the palace, how arrogant should she be in her own palace? ! Since the wife in her palace is still there, does that mean that the master spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife? !
For a moment, the aunts in the side room looked at each other, not knowing whether to envy this aunt for living a more noble life than the head wife, or to sympathize with the unlucky main wife.
Ms. Qiu felt bitter in her heart and said with a smile on her face: "Aunt Niu, please go inside and sit down and have some tea. Mrs. Fang San and Mrs. Fang San are in the open hall..."
Fang family? ! Wouldn't that be... When the aunts heard that the surname was Fang, they couldn't help but be startled and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Aunt Niu didn't want to talk to Qiu's concubine at all. She had already thrown away her sleeves before the other party could finish her words.
"Aunt Niu..." Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to try to stop her, but was pushed away by Aunt Niu. Qiu staggered back. Fortunately, a nanny next to her helped her in time. Got her.
Qiu's head hurt as she looked at Aunt Niu's retreating back. The imperial concubine thought highly of herself, so she allowed herself to entertain guests. For this reason, Jin came to congratulate herself in a weird way. Now that she didn't do her job well, she was afraid that the imperial concubine would be unhappy. It would be bad if this affects my daughter’s future...
She gritted her teeth, not caring whether she might offend Aunt Niu, and hurriedly chased after her.
Unfortunately, even though she ran out of breath, she was still a step too late, just in time to see Aunt Niu, ignoring the obstruction of the servants at the door of the open hall, rushing in aggressively, shouting: "Where is the Crown Princess?"
Because of the birthday banquet, the open hall was also newly decorated, bright and clear. Several tall and lush sycamore trees were planted outside the door, which blocked a lot of sunlight. Even without ice, the hall was comfortable and cool. Many carefully cultivated chrysanthemums are placed in the hall in accordance with the season. They are colorful and full of flowers.
At this time, the ladies in the hall were sitting around several round tables, drinking tea, eating fruits and chatting.
Aunt Niu's sudden intrusion silenced the entire open hall, and she once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
Most of the ladies here have never seen Aunt Niu. Even when Xiao Fang was in great favor, any lady with a little bit of shame would not lower herself to socialize with a concubine. At this time, I saw that she was wearing a purple-gold brocade embroidered with the seawater Ruyi Sanbao pattern. The headdress she wore was also valuable, and her whole body was quite luxurious. For a moment, she couldn't figure out which mansion she was from.
Qiu followed closely behind her into the open hall and said angrily: "Aunt Niu, please come back with me."
She is an aunt! All the ladies present showed displeasure, and an aunt dared to rush into this place. How brave she was!
"Why should I go back?!" Aunt Niu flicked her sleeve and hit Qiu's outstretched hand, raised her chin and said, "Where is the Crown Princess? Let her come to see me! I want to ask her. , where are my daughter and her mother-in-law!"
All the ladies’ pupils shrank, suddenly enlightened.
It turns out to be that Aunt Niu!
Many people suddenly remembered Aunt Niu’s identity. Some of them who were slow to respond also suddenly realized it under the guidance of others. Their eyes changed instantly - the aunts in the wing room looked at Aunt Niu’s There was a hint of envy in their eyes, but now there was a bit of contempt and disapproval in the eyes of these wives.
Aunt Niu is just a concubine, and she is a concubine raised by a maid. If they were not worried about Xiao Fang, these ladies would have taken the initiative to order their servants to expel this rude and vulgar woman. But Xiao Fang is the mistress of the palace after all, and no one knows whether she will make a comeback one day and regain her title as princess and the prince's favor.
Thinking of this, most of the ladies remained calm and drank tea in silence.
Mrs. Qiao is the eldest sister of King Zhennan. It is best for her to come forward at this time, but she looks like she is watching a good show, thinking: If Nangong Yue dares to touch her face today, she will To see her even more shameless!
In the silence, a female voice burst out laughing: "Huh? Auntie, didn't you have another table in the wing? Why did you come here? It turns out that a concubine can be so arrogant!"
Everyone looked at the sound again, and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a smoky purple braided with peonies and flowers, looking at Aunt Niu with a smile on her face, her eyes showing mockery.
The person who spoke was Mrs. Tian from General Tian’s Mansion.
Beside her, Mrs. Tian was holding a teacup and drinking tea slowly, with no intention of stopping her daughter-in-law.
Everyone knows that Tian He is the prince's party. Especially recently, Mr. Tian was promoted from the sixth rank to Mr. Wei Qian because of the prince's promotion. Seeing that the future is bright, Mr. Tian The Madam naturally had to stay close to the Crown Princess.
The eyes of those ladies were a bit complicated. I don’t know if they were envious, jealous, or disapproving.
Aunt Niu's face is not very good-looking. She is not really that stupid. Of course, she also knows that her identity is actually somewhat unfair. Therefore, when she was in Luoyue City in the past, she was quite low-key, which is far worse than in Luoyue City. Bai Xicheng is so beautiful.
But even so, she still feels that she is Xiao Fang's biological mother, and these ladies may not dare to be rude to her in public. I didn't expect that this woman would dare to deny her daughter face. It was really abominable and hateful to humiliate herself in public like this!
But because of what her daughter told her that day, she could only endure it and snorted arrogantly: "I'm too lazy to argue with a rude woman like you! Where is the Crown Princess?!"
With such a commotion in the open hall, someone naturally informed Nangong Yue. Surrounded by the maids and women, Nangong Yue walked in gracefully.
As for Wei and Xiao Fei, they continued to stay in the main hall to entertain guests.
As soon as Nangong Yue stepped into the open hall, the female relatives stood up one after another, bowed their knees and saluted her, and called out: "The Crown Princess."
Aunt Niu looked at Nangong Yue with a look of jealousy, such dignity should belong to her daughter! Where could I find such a young girl?
Nangong Yue first raised her hand to excuse everyone, then frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
"The Crown Princess." Mrs. Qiu quickly admitted her mistake, "This is Aunt Niu of the Fang family. She was a concubine who broke in because of a misunderstanding."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, "Aunt Qiu, could you please lead this aunt to the side room to avoid bumping into the distinguished guests."
Mrs. Qiu quickly agreed, but Aunt Niu had already rushed towards Nangong Yue and asked sternly, "Where is your mother-in-law now?! How can you let your daughter-in-law entertain guests today on my 40th birthday?! It's simply It’s so unruly!”
The maids in the hall could not let Aunt Niu act so arrogantly. Two or three maids immediately stepped forward and blocked Aunt Niu's way.
Ms. Qiu hurriedly said: "Aunt Niu, Madam has been bedridden these days, so she can't come over."
Aunt Niu gave Qiu a disdainful look. She had used the excuse of illness so many times, but she still had the nerve to use it as a excuse. She had already prepared in her heart, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Hey, I think the daughter-in-law is unfilial and has made her mother-in-law angry. Otherwise, on such a grand day as the prince's fortieth birthday, the royal mistress of the prince's palace would not show up?!"
The expressions of many ladies are a little subtle.
Let’s not mention the ladies who came from other cities to celebrate their birthdays, but the ladies in Luo Yuecheng all know that since the crown prince came to southern Xinjiang, Mrs. Xiao Fang has not come out to entertain guests, and even the crown prince has not come out to entertain guests. For the first time, the concubine's hairdressing ceremony was presided over by King Zhennan...
Nangong Yue called out lightly, "Aunt Qiu." Her tone was calm and she didn't take Aunt Niu seriously at all.
Qiu secretly complained in her heart and quickly said politely: "Aunt Niu, please come with me."
Aunt Niu snorted coldly. That day, she finally saw her grounded daughter, and her daughter cried to her about her current situation, and asked her to cause trouble in front of all the guests on the occasion of King Zhennan’s birthday. Such a scene. The daughter also said that as long as the matter gets too big, the guests will definitely talk about it and feel that the Crown Princess is unfilial to her mother-in-law, so the Crown Princess will have to express herself for the sake of her reputation. At that time, she will take the opportunity to force the Crown Princess to go to the prince to plead for mercy and solve the problem. Daughter’s grounding order. In this way, the daughter can regain the power of the palace.
Thinking of her daughter's earnest instructions, Aunt Niu fluttered her sleeves and shook off Qiu, and asked sternly: "Prince Concubine, are you guilty of committing a crime?" The red gold balsamic hairpin on her head trembled slightly with her movements. The huge pearl in the mouth of Red Gold Danfeng shone brightly, like stars in the night sky, and immediately attracted the attention of several ladies in the hall.
A lady said with some uncertainty: "...could this be Dongzhu?"
This sentence is like a stone falling into the lake, causing ripples on the lake. Other female relatives who didn't notice also looked at the hairpin on Aunt Niu's head...
"Of course it's Dongzhu." Aunt Niu raised her chin proudly and subconsciously touched the hairpin on her temples with her hand.
Such a big and bright Dongzhu is a rare treasure. She has never seen anyone wearing it! Considering that today was an important day, she wore it specially!
For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar!
The expressions of the surrounding female relatives have changed. Just now Aunt Niu came to make a fuss with great fanfare, which can be attributed to being vulgar and ignorant of the rules. However, a concubine actually wore Dongzhu, which is against Dayu's laws. .
Dongzhu is a status symbol. Dayu Ming issued an order that only officials of third rank or above and their imperial edicts could wear dongzhu.
The female relatives were all whispering to each other, glancing at Aunt Niu from the corner of their eyes. They all thought about where Aunt Niu, an aunt, could get such a priceless treasure like Dongzhu. The answer was obvious——
This priceless Dongzhu must have been given by my wife!
Don't talk about Aunt Niu, Xiao Fang herself has no official title now, and she is not qualified to wear Dongzhu. But Xiao Fang gave the Dongzhu to her aunt... No wonder Aunt Niu dared to be so arrogant and ignored the rules of concubines. There must be Xiao Fang's support behind her to treat a mere aunt. Your heart has grown so big!
This Fang family is really not a direct descendant, but a concubine!
The corners of Nangong Yue’s lips curved slightly.
Aunt Niu was born as a maid and concubine, and she was used to being arrogant and arrogant in the Fang Mansion. I'm afraid no one told her the rules.
After being instigated by others, I dared to wear the Dongzhu in a grand manner, because I wanted to show off at the palace's birthday banquet.
Although Dongzhu is rare, among the ladies in this room, there is always someone who knows the goods. No, she was easily recognized by others. It's a shame that I allowed her to make trouble here for so long.
Nangong Yue's smile flashed away, and then she looked at Mrs. Fang Santai, and asked in a deep voice: "Grandma, your house secretly hid the Dongzhu and allowed a concubine to wear it. This matter I hope my grandmother can give the palace an explanation."
Mrs. Fang Santai is Xiao Fang’s aunt, so Nangong Yue wants to call her grandmother.
Under the scorching gazes of everyone, Mrs. Fang San's face turned red and she felt on pins and needles. She hesitated and said: "Prince Concubine, I...I don't know Dongzhu either..." Mrs. Fang San's words were quite correct. To be honest, how many people have seen such a rare treasure as Dongzhu.
The same goes for Mrs. Fang San, who doesn't know whether she feels more aggrieved or angry. When she went out early in the morning, she also noticed that the pearls on Aunt Niu's hairpin were round and huge, and the color was crystal clear. At first glance, they were top-quality pearls. She guessed that they were the treasures that Aunt Niu got from Xiao Fang, but she did not expect that they were Dong. Pearl!
If this was known in advance, how could Mrs. Fang be so stupid as to let Aunt Niu wear it? Isn’t this deliberately asking for trouble?
Mrs. Fang San looked at Aunt Niu irritably. This old aunt who had never seen the world knew that it was Dongzhu, but she still did such a stupid thing.
Nangong Yue said calmly: "Grandma, although it is said that 'one who does not know is not guilty', it is true that Dongzhu is secretly hidden in your house, and it should be dealt with according to the law."
Wear Dongzhu privately and use it as a staff of one hundred according to the law.
Aunt Niu on the side was confused. What do you mean? ! Could it be said that I can't wear this Dongzhu myself, and if I do, I will still be guilty? !
Aunt Niu was unconvinced and was about to scream, but suddenly remembered something. That day, when her daughter gave her Dongzhu as a gift, she seemed to have given her a few words of advice, but she was attracted by the brilliance of Dongzhu and was absent-minded. He responded with a few words... What exactly did he say?
"Come here, take off her Dongzhu!" Nangong Yue ordered in a cold voice.
This time, the women didn't dare to delay, and two of them held Aunt Niu down one on the left and the other on the right.
Aunt Niu has been pampered and pampered for decades, so there is no way she can compete with these big-bodied women. She twisted wildly and wanted to call for help, but another woman took a piece of handkerchief and blocked her mouth. No more sound could be made. The woman sneered, and then pulled out the red phoenix hairpin with Dongzhu on Aunt Niu's head.
"The Crown Princess." The old woman respectfully presented the hairpin to Nangong Yue's hand. The golden red gold hairpin hairpin came to life, and the east pearl in the mouth of the red phoenix was crystal clear, and the brilliance was flowing. , and also reveals a bit of elegance and freshness.
For a time, the eyes of all the female guests were focused on this East Pearl. It was the size of a longan, and its quality was of the highest quality among East Pearls. It was probably hard to find for a thousand dollars! Such a treasure fell into the hands of a humble aunt, what a waste of nature!
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, handed the hairpin to Baihui, and ordered: "This is physical evidence, please keep it!"
Baihui responded and Fu Shen accepted the order.
Following, Nangong Yue continued: "My concubine wore the Dongzhu privately, and it was the Fang family who failed to investigate first. Her crime is unavoidable." Her tone gradually became sharper, "Grandma, today is my father's birthday, so I won't keep any of my concubines. You guys, I hope you can take this maid and concubine back to your home and stay there to think about your mistakes. The Dongzhu matter will be dealt with by the government later."
The implication is that we are expelling guests? !
The female family members in the hall were silent for a moment, and most of their faces could not hide their surprise. Seeing that the Crown Princess was a young girl who had just grown hair, and was delicate and frail, they thought she would quietly expose the matter and save some face for her relatives. However, they did not expect that at such a young age, she would be quite decisive and decisive. ! Not to be underestimated.
Mrs. Fang San's face turned from red to white again. Her mouth moved, but no sound came out. She looked at her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fang San, at a loss. Mrs. Fang San secretly scolded her mother-in-law for being useless. After all, Mrs. Fang San was also the Crown Prince's serious grandmother. She acted like an elder. How could the Crown Princess do anything to an old man? !
"Mother Luo," Nangong Yue called lightly, "Send off guests!"
Nanny Luo, who was dressed in an ocher-colored gown, hurried forward and said politely to Mrs. Fang Santai and Mrs. Fang Santai: "Please!"
The hall became so silent again that you could almost hear the sound of a pin dropping.
Only Nangong Yue remained calm and did not rush her. Didn’t Aunt Niu want to cause trouble? I was kind enough to help her, so that the "noisy" would be even bigger!
