Chapter 1196 502 Private Wear

After a while, Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao were brought in by a steward.

Mrs. Qiao was wearing a pea-green eight balls of ruyi flowers Yunjin Beizi today, her body was straight, and her slightly raised chin showed a hint of arrogance. Behind her was a young woman in her twenties, with a good-looking appearance. She wore an engraved silk robe with indigo blue jewel-like flowers wrapped around branches and silver threads. On her bun, she wore a large hairpin with emerald and red gold inlaid with jewels. It was very jewel-like, but He looked a little cowardly, and followed step by step.

After seeing each other, Nangong Yue invited Mrs. Qiao to sit down, and Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Qiao's grandmother, stood behind her.

The maids presented tea. Madam Qiao stared blankly at Nangongyue for a while, and asked with some air, "Prince Prince, have you received a letter from Ayi recently, how is Huiling City doing recently?"

Since Qiao Ruolan was sent to the Shuyao Women's Court, Mrs. Qiao's mood has been terrible. She is almost certain that Nangong Yue is behind the scenes. She wanted to rush to Bixiaotang several times to question her, but in the end she was patient. live because—

Joshin Woo!

Qiao Shenyu is still far away in Huiling City, right under Xiao Yi's eyes. If the concubine is unhappy and writes a letter to complain, Xiao Yi's unreasonable chaotic demon king makes excuses to embarrass his son, what can we do?

Therefore, she could only keep telling herself, to be patient, to be patient... So, she has been patient until now.

Qiao Shenyu has been going to Huiling City for a long time, and she has not even sent back a letter from home. She couldn't help but take the initiative to go to Bixiaotang to ask Nangong Yue, so she just took advantage of this day to arrive early and ask all the questions she should ask. asked.

Nangong Yue saw Da Madam Qiao's intention at a glance, and said with a smile: "The battle in Huiling City has stopped, aunt, please don't worry."

Madam Qiao forced a smile, and said bravely: "Ayi is fighting outside, and the concubine should send more letters and ask questions. Especially today is the birthday of the prince. As a son, Ayi can't bear the joy, and he must be very concerned about it. , Concubine Shizi might as well send a letter to Yixiu to tell him about today's grand occasion. By the way, I would like to ask Yiyi, my family Yuer has been doing well recently. Speaking of which, Yuer is the first cousin of Shizi after all. Others are naturally reliable. If the prince has any errands for Yu’er, he will do it properly. Concubine Shi, you think that’s not the case?”

Nangong Yue just nodded with a smile: "What my aunt said is."

Seeing her incompetent appearance, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help frowning, and glared at her daughter-in-law secretly, blaming her for her lack of eyesight, and she didn't know how to help.

Zhou Shi noticed her mother-in-law's displeasure, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Prince Concubine Shi..."

"Auntie." Nangongyue picked up the tea cup, lightly swiped the tea foam with the tea lid, and said, "The eldest son once said, 'Good talents make good use of them, and those who are able live in them', my niece heard Wen Yu's cousin Wen Tao There is nothing wrong with Wulue, such a capable person, the son will naturally know how to make good use of them, and the aunt does not need to worry about it, just wait patiently for cousin Yu to return home and honor his ancestors."

Madam Qiao couldn't help choking. If she continued to persuade Nangongyue to write to Xiao Yi, she would admit that her son was useless. Taking a step back, even if she admitted that her son was useless, Nangongyue could use the sentence "Yes. The one who lives in it." She was speechless.

This Nangong Yue is indeed a tongue-in-cheek, no wonder his younger brother has been coaxed to distance himself from him recently!

It's just that he can't do anything with her now!

Madam Qiao squeezed the veil fiercely, stood up quickly, glared at Mrs. Zhou behind her, and reprimanded: "Useless thing!"

Knowing that he was being angered, Zhou shi did not refute, but just lowered his head.

Nangong Yue said with a dignified smile: "It's still early, aunt and cousin-in-law, please go to the open hall at the back and sit first."

Madam Qiao flicked her sleeves and left without looking back.

As the auspicious time approached, the palace became more and more lively.

The concierge and the maid who greeted the guests were too busy to touch the ground. The first one to arrive is the other room of the Xiao family, followed by the in-laws, and the high gate mansion in the southern border...

The male guests were greeted to the front yard, while the female guests were taken to the back yard.

There have been many mansions who attended the banquet at Bixiaotang before, but it was completely incomparable to this time. Even if the female family members of each mansion only briefly exchanged a few words, Nangong Yue also said that her mouth was dry, and the tea was full. I don't know how many times it has been added.

Fortunately, Concubine Wei and Xiao Fei helped to greet him, and everything was very orderly.

Those female relatives with official orders and their daughters-in-law were ushered to the open hall. Occasionally, a few concubines came, and they were led to the westernmost wing of the open hall for tea.

The main room and the concubine room are clearly distinguished.

When Mrs. Fang Santai and her party arrived, it was no exception.

After Guiputang and Nangongyue met and greeted them, Mrs. Fang Santai and the others were led by a steward to the direction of the hall.

Aunt Niu was impatient, and ordered the mammy to take her to the clean room.

Their carriage had been waiting outside the palace for almost half an hour.

Although she has never officially attended the banquet in the palace, when she was in Baixi City before, no matter where she went to have a banquet, she would not be so neglected and waited so long!

The steward's maid responded respectfully, and found two maids to lead the way to the clean room for Aunt Niu... When Aunt Niu came back, she was led to the wing by the two maids.

Aunt Niu felt a little weird when she saw it.

"I have seen Aunt Niu."

A woman wearing a parrot green silk robe greeted her with a smile.

Seeing the arrival of new guests, three or four female relatives in the room all looked over. These aunts are either because the master has not accepted the successor after the death of the principal in the house, or because the principal is seriously ill and has no choice but to let the aunt accompany the girls in the house to the banquet.

They looked at Concubine Niu's eyes with a trace of scrutiny, and thought: I don't know which mansion's concubine is dressed so luxuriously, and the jewelry and clothes are all fine! Was it the master who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, or did the aunt take over after the death of the principal?

And when Aunt Niu saw the woman welcoming the guests, her face was sinking like water, and she could already be sure that something was wrong.

Isn't this woman Qiu Shi, the aunt of the Zhennan King? She seems to be the biological mother of the fourth girl, Xiao Rongying.

Aunt Niu was so angry that she was stuck in her chest, her face was blue and white, and the colors changed wonderfully.

It's unreasonable that Zhennan Wangfu actually neglected him so much that he let a trivial concubine to entertain him.

Then needless to say...

Concubine Niu looked around at the women sitting in the wing room, her brows furrowed. Seeing how these people couldn't get on the stage, she looked like a concubine from Beppu!

Aunt Niu really didn't want to stay here for a long time, she turned around angrily, and said angrily, "Where is my wife and my daughter-in-law? Why don't you take me there?"

The words caused an uproar in the wing room, stunned.

An aunt actually kept saying "my daughter-in-law"? ! This simply doesn't take Mrs. Zhengshi in the eye!

If she dares to make such a statement in front of outsiders in the palace, how arrogant should she be in her own palace? ! Since the lady in her mansion is still there, does that mean that the master spoiled his concubine and killed his wife? !

For a while, the aunts in the wing looked at each other, not knowing whether to envy the aunt who lived more honorably than the head lady, or sympathize with the unfortunate wife.

Qiu Shi felt bitter in her heart, and said with an apologetic smile on her face: "Aunt Niu, please go inside and have some tea, Mrs. Fang Santai and Mrs. Fang San are in the hall..."

Fang family? ! Isn't that... a few aunts couldn't help but startled when they heard the surname Fang, and couldn't help but whisper.

Aunt Niu didn't want to talk to Qiu's concubine at all.

"Aunt Niu..." Mrs. Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to try to stop her, but she was pushed away unceremoniously by Mrs. Qiu, who staggered back a step. Fortunately, a nanny beside her supported her in time.

Qiu Shi looked at Aunt Niu's retreating back, and her head hurt. The concubine Shizi looked down on herself, so she allowed herself to entertain guests. For this, the Jin family even congratulated him in a strange way. Now that he didn't finish the errand, he was afraid that the concubine Shizi would be unhappy. If this affects the future of my daughter, it will be bad...

She gritted her teeth and didn't care whether she would offend Aunt Niu, so she quickly chased after her.

Unfortunately, even if she ran out of breath, she was still a step too late, just in time to see Concubine Niu rushing in in a hurry, despite the obstruction at the door of the hall, and shouting, "Where is Concubine Shi?"

Due to the birthday banquet, the open hall was also newly furnished, bright and clear. Several tall and lush plane trees were planted outside the door, which blocked a lot of sunlight. Even if there was no ice, the hall was comfortable and cool. In accordance with the season, many carefully cultivated chrysanthemums are placed in the hall, which are colorful and colorful.

At this time, the ladies in the hall were sitting around several round tables, drinking tea and eating melons and fruits while chatting.

Aunt Niu's rash intrusion made the entire hall go silent, and she once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Most of the ladies present had never seen Aunt Niu. Even when the Xiao Fang clan was favored, a lady with a little shame would not surrender her status to socialize with a concubine. At this time, seeing that she was wearing a brocade jacket with purple-gold embroidered sea water ruyi three-jewelry pattern, the head and face she wore was also very valuable, and her whole body was quite luxurious, and it was unclear which mansion she was the wife of.

Qiu Shi followed closely and stepped into the open hall, and said angrily, "Aunt Niu, please come back with me."

It's an auntie! The ladies present were all displeased, and a concubine dared to go here on a rampage, what a boldness!

"Why should I go back?!" Concubine Niu slapped Qiu's outstretched hand with her sleeves, raised her chin and said, "Where's Concubine Shi? Let her come to see me! I'm going to ask her about my Where is the daughter, her mother-in-law!"

All the ladies shrank their pupils and suddenly realized.

It was the Aunt Niu!

Many people suddenly remembered the identity of Aunt Niu, and some of those who were slow to respond were also suddenly realized by others' suggestions, and their eyes changed instantly - those aunts in the wing before looked at Aunt Niu with a hint of light in their eyes. There was a trace of envy, but now there was a little contempt and disapproval in the eyes of these ladies.

Aunt Niu was just a concubine, and she was also a cheap concubine carried by a maidservant. If it wasn't for Xiao Fang's scruples, these ladies would have taken the initiative to order the subordinates to expel this rude and vulgar woman. But Xiao Fang is the mistress of the palace after all, and no one knows if she will make a comeback one day and take back the imperial concubine's appointment and the prince's favor.

Thinking of this, most of the ladies are calm, drinking tea silently.

Mrs. Qiao is the eldest sister of King Zhennan, and it is best for her to come forward at this time, but she looks like she is watching a good show, thinking: Nangong Yue dares to show her face today, she will watch it herself She is even more shameless!

In the silence, a female voice burst out laughing: "Huh? Didn't the aunt have another seat in the wing? Why did you come here? It turns out that being a concubine can be so rampant!"

Everyone looked at the sound again, and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a smoky purple tangled peony robe who was smiling and looking at Aunt Niu with mockery in her eyes.

It was Mrs. Tian from General Tian's mansion who spoke.

And Mrs. Tian, ​​who was beside her, was drinking tea slowly with a tea cup, and she didn't mean to stop her daughter-in-law at all.

All the ladies know it in their hearts. Everyone knows that Tian He is the son of the prince. Especially recently, because of the promotion of the prince, Mr. Tian has just been promoted from the sixth-rank Wei Qian. Seeing that the future is promising, Mrs. Tian is naturally. It has to be close to the princess.

The eyes of those ladies are a bit complicated, I don't know whether it is envy, jealousy, or disapproval.

Aunt Niu's face is not very good-looking, and she is not really that stupid. Of course, she also knows that her identity is actually a bit unjustifiable, so when she was in Luoyue City in the past, she was also very low-key, far less beautiful than in Baixi City. .

But even so, she felt that she was Xiao Fang's biological mother, and these ladies probably wouldn't dare to be rude to her in the open. I didn't expect that this woman would dare not give her daughter face, and humiliate herself in public like this, it is really hateful and hateful!

But for what her daughter explained that day, she could only hold back and snorted arrogantly: "I'm too lazy to care about you, a rude woman! Where is the princess?!"

There was such a commotion in the open hall. Naturally, someone informed Nangong Yue, and surrounded by maids and wives, Nangong Yue walked in one after another.

As for Wei Shi 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 got up one after another, bowed their knees and bowed to her, calling out, "Prince Concubine."

Aunt Niu looked at Nangong Yue with hatred on her face, such a decency should belong to her daughter! Where can I get such a young girl.

Nangong Yue first raised her hand to let everyone off the ground, then she frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

"Concubine Shi." Qiu Shi hurriedly admitted her mistake, "This is Aunt Niu of the Fang family, the maid and concubine were misunderstood and let her break in."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, "Aunt Qiu, please take this aunt to the wing, so as not to bump into the distinguished guests."

Qiu Shi hurriedly agreed, and Aunt Niu rushed towards Nangong Yue first and asked sternly, "Where is your mother-in-law now?! How can you allow a daughter-in-law to entertain guests on your 40th birthday today?! It's too unruly. It's gone!"

The maids in the hall could not let Aunt Niu let loose here, and two or three maids immediately stepped forward and blocked Aunt Niu's way.

Qiu Shi hurriedly said, "Aunt Niu, Madam is sick in bed these days, so she can't come here."

Aunt Niu gave Qiu Shi a disdainful look, the excuse of being sick had been said so many times, but she was too embarrassed to use it as a prevarication. She had been prepared for a long time, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Hey, I think it's because the daughter-in-law is unfilial and hurts the mother-in-law. Otherwise, on such a big day as Wang Ye's 40th birthday, the dignified mistress of the Wangfu will not show up?!"

The expressions of many ladies are somewhat subtle.

Let’s not mention the ladies who came from other cities to celebrate their birthdays, but the ladies in Luoyue City are well aware that since the first concubine came to the Southern Border, Mrs. The ceremony is unprecedentedly presided over by King Zhennan...

Nangong Yue called out lightly, "Aunt Qiu." Her tone was flat, and she didn't take Aunt Niu seriously at all.

Qiu Shi secretly complained in her heart, and hurriedly said politely, "Aunt Niu, please come with me."

Aunt Niu snorted coldly. On that day, she finally saw her daughter who was grounded, and her daughter cried to her about her current situation, and asked her to make such a scene in front of the guests on the birthday of King Zhennan. . The daughter also said that as long as the matter became a big deal, the guests would have a lot of discussion, and felt that the concubine Shizi was not filial to her mother-in-law, so the concubine Shizi had to express herself for the sake of fame. Daughter's restraining order. In this way, the daughter will be able to regain control of the palace.

Thinking of her daughter's sincere entrustment, Aunt Niu flicked her sleeves away from the Qiu family, and asked sharply, "Concubine Shizi, are you guilty of being a thief?" The huge pearl in his mouth was shining brightly, like a star in the night sky, which immediately attracted the attention of the ladies in the hall.

A lady said with some uncertainty: "...This, could it be Dongzhu?"

This sentence seems to be a stone that fell into the lake, and ripples rippled on the lake. Other female relatives who did not notice also looked at the hairpin on Niu Concubine's head...

"Of course it's Dongzhu." Aunt Niu raised her chin proudly, and subconsciously touched the hairpin on her temples.

Such a big and bright Dongzhu is a rare treasure, she has never seen anyone wear it before! Considering that today was an important day, she wore it on purpose!

For a time, the audience was in an uproar!

The expressions of the women around her changed. Just now, Concubine Niu ran up and made a fuss, which can be described as being vulgar and ignorant of the rules. However, if a concubine actually wore Dongzhu, it would be a violation of Taiyu's law.

Dongzhu is a status symbol. Dayu Ming decrees that only officials above the third rank and their official orders can wear Dongzhu.

The female family members whispered and whispered, and out of the corner of their eyes, they glanced at Aunt Niu. They all thought about where Niu Auntie, a concubine, could get a priceless treasure like Dongzhu, and the answer was obvious—

This priceless Dongzhu must be a gift from the wife!

Not to mention this Aunt Niu, Xiao Fang's own life is now dead, and she is not qualified to wear Dongzhu. But Mrs. Fang gave Dongzhu to her concubine... It's no wonder that Concubine Niu dared to be so arrogant and didn't take the rules of the descendant in her eyes. Presumably there must be the support of Mrs. Fang behind her, so that a mere concubine could be treated as such. My heart has grown to this point!

This Fang family is truly a descendant or not, a concubine or a concubine!

Nangong Yue's lips curved slightly.

Aunt Niu was born as a concubine, but she was used to being arrogant and arrogant in the Fang Mansion. I'm afraid no one had told her the rules.

After being instigated, he dared to wear Dongzhu out in a grand manner, because he wanted to make a name for himself at the birthday banquet in the palace.

Although Dongzhu is rare, there are always ladies who know the goods in this hall. No, they are easily recognized by others. It's also thanks to him that he allowed her to make trouble here for so long.

Nangong Yue's smile disappeared in a flash, and then she looked at Mrs. Fang Santai and asked in a deep voice, "Grandmother, your mansion kept Dongzhu privately and let a concubine wear it, this is still up to my grandmother. Give the palace an explanation."

Mrs. Fang Santai was Xiao Fang's first-in-class mother, so Nangong Yue wanted to call her grandmother.

In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Fang Santai's face was flushed, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. How many people have seen such a rare treasure as Dongzhu.

So did Mrs. Fang San, who didn't know whether to be more aggrieved or angry. Going out early in the morning, she also noticed that the pearls on Aunt Niu's hairpin were round and large, with a crystal clear color. At first glance, they were top-quality pearls. Beads!

If this was known in advance, how could Mrs. Fang San be so foolish as to be worn by Concubine Niu? Isn't she asking for trouble?

Mrs. Fang San looked irritably at Aunt Niu, and this old aunt who had never seen the world knew that it was Dongzhu, yet she still did such a stupid thing.

Nangong Yue said lightly, "Grandmother, although she said that 'the person who doesn't know is innocent', it is true that Dongzhu is hidden in your palace, and it should be dealt with according to the law."

I wear Dongzhu privately and use it as a stick of 100 according to the law.

Aunt Niu on the side was at a loss, what do you mean? ! Could it be that this Dongzhu can't be worn by himself, and it is still a crime to wear it? !

Aunt Niu was not convinced, and was about to shout when she suddenly remembered something. On that day, when her daughter gave her Dongzhu a few words, she seemed to be attracted by the brilliance of Dongzhu, so she answered absentmindedly. A few words...what did you say?

"Come on, unload her Dongzhu!" Nangong Yue commanded in a cold voice.

This time, the old women didn't dare to delay, and two of them held Aunt Niu one by one.

Aunt Niu has been pampered for decades, how can she fight against these big-bodied women, she twisted frantically and wanted to call for help, but another woman took a handkerchief and blocked her mouth. Woo no more sound. The old woman sneered, and immediately pulled out the Danfeng hairpin with Dongzhu on Aunt Niu's head.

"Prince Prince." The old lady respectfully presented the hairpin to Nangong Yue's hands, only to see that the golden red-gold hairpin Danfeng hairpin was alive and well, and the oriental pearl held in Danfeng's mouth was crystal clear, and the brilliance flowed and translucent. With a bit of elegance.

For a time, the eyes of all the female guests were focused on this Dongzhu. Seeing that this Dongzhu was the size of a dragon's eye, its quality was also the best among Dongzhu. Such treasures should fall into the hands of a despicable concubine, what a waste!

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, handed the hairpin to Baihui, and instructed: "This is the physical evidence, you can put it away!"

Baihui responded and took the lead.

Following that, Nangong Yue continued: "My maid and concubine wear Dongzhu privately, because the Fang family has been investigated first, and the crime is unavoidable." Her tone gradually became sharp, "Grandmother, today's father's birthday, this world's son and concubine will not leave you. I also hope to bring this maid and concubine back to the house, and stop thinking about it, the matter of Dongzhu will be dealt with by the government later."

The implication is that this is to evict guests? !

The female relatives in the hall were silent, most of their faces could not hide their surprise. Seeing that Concubine Shizi, a little girl who just reached her hairpin, is weak and weak, they thought she would lightly expose this matter, taking care of her relatives' face, but they didn't expect that she would have the courage to kill and be decisive at a young age. ! Not to be underestimated.

Mrs. Fang Santai's face turned from red to white again, her mouth moved, but she couldn't make a sound, and looked at her daughter-in-law Mrs. Fang Santai in confusion. Mrs. Fang San scolded her mother-in-law inwardly. It was really useless. Mrs. Fang Santai was also a serious grandmother of Shi Ziye. !

"Mother Luo," Nangong Yue called out indifferently, "Send off!"

Madam Luo, who was wearing an ochre-colored robe, hurried forward and politely said to Mrs. Fang Santai and Mrs. Fang Santai, "Two people please!"

The hall became silent again, and the sound of a needle falling could almost be heard.

Only Nangong Yue was calm and didn't rush, didn't Aunt Niu want to make trouble? I kindly help her, and it would be better to "make trouble" even more!
