Chapter 291 The Imperial Concubine Arrives
Du Jingyi may not know the twists and turns here, but the Guo family knows it clearly.
So when the Crown Princess was talking to someone else, Mrs. Guo San came forward and whispered to Du Jingyi.
Only then did she know what happened in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
"In this circle, being well-informed is the most important thing. Since you want to be the head of this family, you can't be a fool. You must be sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Otherwise, you don't know when you will say something offensive."
After listening to Mrs. Guo San's explanation, Du Jingyi was also full of gratitude.
These words must have been instructed by Mrs. Guo, so she came to tell him, so Du Jingyi remembered the friendship of the Guo family in his heart.
"I have been focusing on taking care of Brother Tai these days, and I didn't pay attention. Thank you for reminding me, aunt. I will be more vigilant in the future."
The Crown Princess may not be deliberately using her as a trick, but looking around, she can see that she is both lethal and can make the Fourth Prince's wife more afraid.
That's why this incident happened, so Du Jingyi has become more and more careful about the situation of coming and going at the table. After all, it involves the royal family, so she has to be careful.
The protagonist today is not her, so naturally the people around this matter are just a flash.
Soon everyone was attracted by the new topic, but Du Jingyi always felt that he could feel some resentful eyes looking at him from time to time, but he didn't find it when he turned around.
A pair of eyes hidden in the dark, when looking at Du Jingyi, were indeed a little unhappy and angry, as if she was robbed of something beloved by Du Jingyi, which made people angry.
Du Jingyi also knew that today was not a day to cause trouble, so he endured it, but secretly told himself that he would send someone to investigate it carefully when he returned.
The backyard was bustling with people, and so was the front hall.
Before the wedding procession came back, the Seventh Prince's Mansion had a small climax in advance, that is, the imperial concubine who was quite favored by the court came in person.
With a long "The imperial concubine is here", Du Jingyi saw the imperial concubine who was known as the most beautiful woman in the country.
Sure enough, people need a foil.
When she appeared, the six palaces were pale in comparison, which became a very appropriate saying.
Many people present had seen the imperial concubine, so there was more envy in their eyes but less surprise, but like her, who saw the imperial concubine for the first time, which one did not show surprise with a slightly opened mouth.
Her skin was like cream, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her waist was slender when she walked. The whole person looked like a woman in her twenties. How could you tell that she was already a grandmother?
The facial features have a kind of soul-stirring charm, which is not compatible with her own weak and graceful temperament. However, when they are combined together, they produce a strange harmony that makes people unable to look away.
No wonder the imperial concubine is favored by the emperor. The women in the harem are so excited when they see her, let alone men.
And the imperial concubine is obviously used to everyone's amazement at her appearance, so she walked in with a generous appearance.
"Your son (minister) greets the imperial concubine, please be at ease."
"Your wife greets the imperial concubine, please be at ease."
A large group of people knelt down. In front of the absolute imperial power, no matter how many little thoughts they have, it is not worth mentioning.
After sitting in the seat at the top, the imperial concubine smiled and said something.
"Everyone, stand up. Today is Xiaoqi's good day. You are all here to congratulate her. There is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Madam."
Du Jingyi had met Empress Guo. The imperial concubine's demeanor in front of her was naturally not as dignified as that of the queen who was the mother of the country, but she also showed some rare kindness.
She thought that the favored imperial concubines were generally arrogant and overbearing, but she didn't expect that when she spoke, she was as gentle as a girl from the water town of Jiangnan, making people feel as comfortable as holding a ball of dough in their hands.
But, it's true.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If this imperial concubine was an intolerant person, I'm afraid she would have spread some news of discord with Empress Guo long ago, and few people would have mentioned this matter for so many years.
But not saying it doesn't mean that there is no such thought.
The fourth prince was not as calm as his mother on this point. Instead, he showed some unwillingness to admit defeat.
Even if the other party was a powerful prince, there would always be a chance until the last moment, right?
He thought so, and the Fourth Prince's wife, as his bedside person, naturally had the same idea.
So, after the Imperial Concubine appeared and attracted everyone's attention, she immediately stepped forward and became the most capable confidant around that delicate flower.
The Imperial Concubine obviously liked her daughter-in-law very much, so she was happy to praise her and talk to the ladies.
Du Jingyi stood aside and watched quietly, and Wei Jialian, who was beside Princess Fu, was also watching.
She now follows Princess Fu and appears in every occasion, especially every time she can see the Fourth Prince, she can accurately step on the spot.
Similarly, Princess Fu also whispered in her ear "teaching".
"You see, if you get the favor of the Imperial Concubine, you will naturally become a sweet cake in the eyes of the ladies. This is better than any other method. If you can also get the favor of the Imperial Concubine, I think it will pave the way for your future."
The Fourth Prince's filial piety to his mother is known to everyone in Sui'an City.
So, these words also fell deeply into Wei Jialian's heart.
In terms of sweet talk and insight, she didn't think she was as good as the Fourth Prince's wife, but if it was someone else, she might be just as good.
Since she already considered the position of the main wife as hers, she would of course study how to get to the position. Not only to get to the position, but also to do better than the Fourth Prince's wife.
Therefore, the Imperial Concubine became her next target.
Then she whispered to the Princess of Fu.
"Don't worry, cousin, Jialian has her own way."
The Princess of Fu was of course relieved. She thought that this child was just a brainless person who was raised by her family. Who knew that when she was getting along with the Fourth Prince, she knew how to be reluctant and welcoming.
Now the two of them haven't even held hands, but the Fourth Prince's eyes are a little bit drawn when he sees her.
How exactly she did it here, the Princess of Fu didn't know.
But every time she saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh that the disciple was better than the master.
Therefore, she didn't have any unnecessary worries in her heart about Wei Jialian being able to become the Fourth Prince's wife.
The Fourth Prince's wife is now focused on the Imperial Concubine, so she naturally didn't notice that she has become their prey, and she is still livening up the atmosphere.
Du Jingyi, standing on the sidelines, inadvertently saw Wei Jialian's ambition flashing across her.
There have been some emergencies in the past two days, so the update may not be guaranteed to be in the early morning. I am very sorry, but I will adjust as soon as possible. I hope that the daily 6k can still be released on time for the sisters! Sorry again!
