Chapter 1207 513 Concubine

Nangong Yue took Qin and Xiao Fei to her Yuebi Residence, and Xiao Fei really couldn't put it down, a happy smile bloomed on her little face, and she hurriedly tuned and tested the piano.

When he returned to Bixiaotang, it was almost time for you, Queer stepped forward and reported that, a quarter of an hour ago, King Zhennan was invited to Tingyu Pavilion by Mrs. Fang.

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, guessing that it might be for the Fang family. She nodded and didn't say anything. However, after sitting down and flipping through a few pages of the book, she was also called to Tingyu Pavilion by King Zhennan.

"Father, grandfather."

King Zhennan and Mrs. Fang were sitting in the octagonal pavilion in the backyard. Nangong Yue stepped forward without haste and bowed respectfully to the two elders.

"No ceremony." King Zhennan, who was wearing a green robe, raised his hand with a smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Grandpa Fang on the side smiled meaningfully at Nangong Yue, picked up the tea cup to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

The King of Zhennan said straight to the point: "Prince Concubine, in a few days, this king wants to admit the six girls from the Fang family to enter the door. You should go and prepare first."

Before the King of Zhennan came to listen to Yu Pavilion, he never thought that Mrs. Fang would tell him about it. Hey, the Fang family really wanted him to take a girl from the Fang family as his concubine. They could tell him by themselves, He also went to disturb the peace of his father-in-law.

King Zhennan's backyard is like a cloud of beautiful concubines. It can be said that one more is not much, and one less is not a lot. But the girls of the Fang family are different. After all, the Fang family is one of the four major families in southern Xinjiang, and it owns most of the mineral deposits in southern Xinjiang, so it should not be underestimated. Over the years, Zhennan Wangfu and these families have actually supported each other. Now, even if King Zhennan is tired of Xiao Fang, he has to keep her, in order to maintain the relationship with the Fang family.

Now, the Fang family is willing to take a girl out as his concubine, which is of course excellent.

Therefore, King Zhennan is in a good mood now.

Since the Fang family is so knowledgeable, then the King of Zhennan is also happy to give them face. After all, the Fang family is not an ordinary family, and the relationship between the Xiao Fang family is even more unusual. Although the new Fang family girl does not have a side concubine like the Wei family. She was appointed as a concubine, but she was also a noble concubine, different from the ordinary concubines and aunts in the palace. Otherwise, the trivial matter of taking a concubine would not be mentioned to Nangong Yue by King Zhennan.

Nangong Yuefu took the lead: "Yes, my father."

She withdrew without asking any more questions, knowing that Mrs. Fang must have mentioned this to King Zhennan just now, and this happened...

After Nangong Yue turned around, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

After returning to the Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue ordered Baihui to send a message to Mrs. Wei, and handed over the delivery of the concubine documents to Mrs. Wei.

So, early the next morning, the fourth room of the Fang family got the concubine document handed over by Mrs. Wei.

When receiving the document, Mrs. Fang Sitai was dumbfounded, and hurriedly called Mrs. Fang Si over and handed the document to him.

Fang Ziman, who was on the side, had gone blank from the moment he saw the document, and stood there dumbfounded for a long time, unable to regain his senses.

"Grandpa, how can you be a prince?!" Mrs. Fang Sitai frowned, and said anxiously and suspiciously.

They originally planned that no matter whether it is King Zhennan or the prince, as long as one of them accepts the girl from the Fang family. Of course, it is best to be the prince, and even they believe that as long as Mrs. Fang speaks, with Fang Ziman's character and appearance, a prince is a concubine.

And if there is an emergency, the one who wants to take the Fang family girl is Zhennan Wang, then it will not be Fang Ziman's direct daughter, but a girl from the four daughters of the concubine.

But now that the concubine document sent by the palace has already stated the six daughters of Fang's family, that is a certainty.

Of course, they can also go and tell King Zhennan that they have no plans to send the Fang family girl to the palace as a concubine. Presumably King Zhennan will not be too hard on others, but in this way, even if they want to send Sister Man to the palace in the future The prince can't do it either. That would really cut off the relationship between the palace and the Fang family...

"What a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the pot!" The fourth old grandfather Fang squeezed the paper concubine document fiercely, and gritted his teeth, "It must be the jealous concubine who is behind the scenes!"

"Grandfather..." Fang Ziman was about to cry, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand fiercely, "Granddaughter, granddaughter doesn't want to..." The prince is young and handsome, and he is by his side, and he recognizes it himself, but the prince... ... Wang Ye is old enough to be her father!

Mrs. Fang Si didn't want to. Sister Man was a girl who had been carefully cultivated in their four rooms. Derong's words and skills were outstanding in everything. Even if she was sent to the palace as a concubine, she was not inferior. Now she wants to be a concubine for the prince. It's not worth it!

Old Master Fang Si became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, but the matter had come to this point, he could only say: "Sister Man, you have always been sensible... Hey, even now, the Fang family can't go against the prince's wishes." After speaking, he gave The old wife gave a wink.

"Grandmother!" Fang Ziman eagerly looked at Mrs. Fang Sitai again. Grandmother always loved her and would never force her, right?

Mrs. Fang Sitai reluctantly took Fang Ziman's hand and persuaded: "Sister Man, don't worry, think about it carefully, marrying the prince is much better than the prince! It has always been discordant, and now the prince is in the prime of life. If you marry, you can please the prince and have the support of our Fang family. Not to mention being a concubine, you can even become a princess one day! As the saying goes: 'Parents love you Er', once you give birth to Lin'er, the lord will be delighted, so why not abolish the prince by then?"

Mrs. Fang Sitai kept talking, but Fang Ziman's face was sinking like water, and her hand holding the handkerchief was even harder. Grandma is telling her to stop drinking! After all, it is not to force yourself to marry the prince!

No matter what Fang Ziman thinks, there is no room for change in this matter. Whether it is the Fang family or the palace, they are busy with this matter.

Since the prince has a concubine who wants to enter the house, he naturally has to clean up a yard for her to live in, and also assign corresponding servants... The regulations in all aspects cannot be higher than those of the concubine Wei, but they cannot be lower than Jin Concubine and the others.

Nangongyue basically handed over these matters to the Wei family, that is to say, Wei family occasionally came to Bixiaotang to discuss with Nangongyue.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed, and it was the day that Nangong Yue invited Zhou Roujia to be a guest in the mansion.

On this day, the weather was gloomy, just like Zhou Roujia's mood.

Since she received the post from the Prince of Zhennan, the same question has been popping up in her mind from time to time in the past few days: Is it really just for the sake of commenting on the score when the princess invited her? or……

But she didn't dare to think deeply, for fear that the results of the analysis would make her feel more uneasy.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and the maid lifted the curtain and looked outside, then whispered, "Girl, the Zhennan Palace is here."

The maid jumped out of the carriage and handed over the post. After a while, a corner door was opened in the Zhennan Palace, and a concierge came to greet him and ushered the carriage into the door.

The carriage arrived at the second gate along the Qingshiban road, and Zhou Roujia got off the carriage, and a steward mama in an ochre red treasure gourd makeup Hua Beizi greeted him at the second gate, smiled and said: "Miss Zhou, Please come with the servants, the princess and the eldest girl are waiting for the girl in Bixiao Hall."

Xiao Fei was also... Remembering that she had been quite speculative with Xiao Fei before, Zhou Roujia's originally tense mood relaxed a little, and said warmly and politely: "Then there will be a mother who will lead the way."

Zhou Roujia followed the steward through the garden and continued on through a veranda...

At this time, a young woman walked in front, wearing a silk robe with red embroidery and apricot pomegranate flowers, with a fallen horse bun on her head, and a red gold inlaid jewel with a bead and a three-winged phoenix hairpin. It looks beautiful and moving, and there is a hint of coquettishness.

"This is Miss Zhou, right?" The young woman stepped forward and gave Zhou Roujia a blessing, with a kind smile on her face.

Zhou Roujia wondered about this person's identity, and she was also blessed.

But the steward's face changed slightly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her mouth was still polite, she said, "Aunt Zhang, why are you here?" Bixiaotang is in front! In front of Bixiao Hall, not cats and dogs can stay casually!

Zhang Pian Pian is a smart person, how can she not feel the thorns in the words of the steward, before she came, she had already figured out that she might make the princess unhappy, but she really couldn't care about it.

Zhang Pian Pian half lowered her eyes, the dark eyes were as dark as an abyss, and Xiao Luan's voice sounded in her ears: "... Pian Pian, I made a mistake and ruined Miss Zhou's boudoir reputation. Only marrying her can make up for my mistakes. Hey, I always want to marry a wife. I think that Zhou Da girl is gentle and kind, and she will definitely be able to get along with you..."

Thinking about it, Zhang Pian Pian's hands were tightly clenched into fists in his sleeves, with a smile on his face.

She knew that Xiao Luan would definitely marry a wife, but she believed that she could win over Xiao Luan, so she never worried. However, this week's maiden... Xiao Luan is now attracted to Zhou's maiden because of guilt. This is the worst thing...

So, Zhang Pian Pian came here. First, she wanted to see this Lady Zhou with her own eyes. Second, if she could make Lady Zhou lose her temper in front of the Concubine, it would be nice to make the Concubine feel that she was not worthy of being Xiao Luan's first-wife. ...

"Mother Wu, my concubine heard that Miss Zhou was coming, so I came over to say hello to the girl, so I could recognize my face first." Zhang Pianpian said with a smile, and then looked at Zhou Roujia again, with a warm and friendly smile "Miss Zhou, don't blame the concubine for being presumptuous. The concubine heard the second son's story about the girl, so she wanted to come and say hello to the girl... In the future, you and my sisters will follow the example of Ehuang Nuying and serve the second son well, and you will definitely succeed. A good story." She raised her charming eyes slightly and smiled meaningfully.

Zhou Roujia's eyes squinted, her fair face flushed red, and her ears were buzzing. Although the other party didn't say it directly, she already understood who the other party was.

The aunt in the house of Second Young Master Xiao!

These days, Mrs. Wang has also inquired a little about Xiao Luan, so Zhou Roujia knows that there is a favored aunt in his house.

Zhou Roujia has no position or identity to evaluate whether Second Young Master Xiao's taking a concubine before marrying a wife is in line with the rules, and now she is unable to protect herself.

The mother has only her only daughter. If she is a white sash, or an ancient Buddha with a green lamp, who will be able to support her in the future? ! So these days, Zhou Roujia has figured it out very clearly. If Zhennan Wangfu despised her and thought that her family and character were not worthy of being the wife of the second son of Xiao, then she would be willing to enter the palace as a concubine.

However, even if she will be a concubine in the future, she is still an innocent girl's family, and she can't help the concubine in other people's house.

She silently asked herself, if there was no such thing, and she was a guest in someone else's house, what should she do when encountering such a thing...

Thinking of this, Zhou Roujia calmed down and said to the mammy who led the way, "Mother Wu, please lead the way."

Wu Ma was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly, "Miss Zhou, please come here."

Zhou Roujia nodded, she held her head high and passed Zhang Pianpian without looking sideways, as if she had never seen this person before.

Zhang Pian Pian was a little dumbfounded for a while. She thought that Zhou Roujia might let someone slap her in the mouth, she also thought that Zhou Roujia might be humiliated and left crying, and she thought that Zhou Roujia would be so held up by herself that she couldn't speak... But , She never thought that Zhou Roujia would ignore her completely.

"Miss Zhou..."

Zhang Pian Pian still wanted to speak, but Wu mama could tolerate her again and again, and she was so presumptuous again and again that she immediately let the two maids stop her, and she respectfully continued to lead the way.

After entering the Bixiao Hall, Mother Wu took her all the way to the Xiaohua Hall, where Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were drinking tea and talking, and a few maids were waiting on the side.

"I have seen the princess, Miss Xiao."

Zhou Roujia walked into the hall and greeted Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei gracefully.

"Miss Zhou, please sit down." Nangong Yue smiled kindly, and asked Zhou Roujia to sit down as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Roujia didn't move, but took a deep breath and said, "Concubine Shizi, just now the little girl met a concubine of your house near the garden, and she kept saying something inappropriate to the little girl and sister..." She was clear. His eyes went straight to Nangong Yue, and he said in a buoyant voice, "Prince Concubine Shi, the little girl was invited, and she is a guest of the palace. Now that she has been so insulted by a concubine, she also expects Concubine Shizi to be the master of the little girl."

Just now, Zhang Pianpian suddenly appeared and stopped Zhou Roujia. The servants naturally dared not hide such a thing. A little maid immediately came to tell Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei.

At that time, Nangong Yue ordered Baihui to go check it out and let her act cheaply.

In fact, when Xiao Luan specially came to tell Nangong Yue that Zhang Pian Pian wanted to go to Zhennan King's birthday banquet to watch the play, Nangong Yue already felt that Zhang Pian Pian's heart seemed to be growing bigger and bigger because of Xiao Luan's favor. , I began to have some extravagant hopes in my heart.

But Nangong Yue didn't expect that Zhang Pian Pian would dare to stop Zhou Roujia.

No matter what Zhang Pian Pian's purpose was, her behavior was not only arrogant, but also lost the face of the palace!

However, what surprised Nangong Yue was that Baihui didn't have a chance to appear, so Zhou Roujia took it easy. Just now, Zhou Roujia didn't repeat what Zhang Pianpian said in detail, but Nangong Yue already knew from the maid's mouth. If an ordinary girl heard those words, she would have already lost her sense of shame. Pian Pian cried angrily, showing that she was weak;

Zhou Roujia made the most suitable way to deal with her, ignoring Zhang Pianpian's provocation, and came here to let herself decide for her.

It seems that although Mrs. Wang's temperament is soft, Zhou Roujia is not like her mother. She is forbearing but not cowardly, and her thinking is clear.

"Mammy Wu," Nangong Yue turned her head and instructed Mama Wu, "Concubine Zhang acted frivolously, didn't keep her duty as a concubine, bumped into the guests, and sentenced her to three months of imprisonment and ten hands."

Aunt Wu respectfully led the order to retire, showing no sympathy for Zhang Pian Pian. This is called self-inflicted sin, not to live!

Seeing this, Zhou Roujia finally breathed a sigh of relief, her palms were full of sweat.

In fact, she was a little uneasy in her heart, wondering if she would make the princess unhappy if she acted like this. But if she is letting the Zhang family humiliate herself now, what about the future! ...Fortunately, the princess is sensible.

"Miss Zhou, please take a seat." Nangong Yue said again.

Zhou Roujia sat down on the armchair beside Xiao Fei, only a small table away from Xiao Fei. The maid serving in the small flower hall gave her a blue and white porcelain tea cup and two plates of snacks.

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said, "I recently got a new sheet music. I heard that Sister Fei said that Miss Zhou is good at violin, so I specially invited the girl to judge it for me."

Zhou Roujia bowed her body and said, "Princess Shizi has won the prize."

Thrush on the side presented a few sheet music, and Zhou Roujia carefully observed Nangong Yue's expression while taking over the sheet music. Seeing the smile on Nangong Yue's lips, her eyes were as gentle as water, as if she was just talking about a score.

Zhou Roujia restrained the anxiety in her heart and looked at the music in her hands. At first, she just wanted to divert her attention, but she soon became fascinated. The fingers of her right hand moved subconsciously, as if she was flicking the piano. The strings are the same... Zhou Roujia's originally stiff expression gradually became relaxed and natural.

After reading the score, Zhou Roujia calmed down and said, "...Prince Prince, if the little girl is not mistaken, this song should have been composed by everyone in the previous dynasty. And it's a lost score... I can get it today. Seeing her is a blessing for a little girl."

"Miss Zhou." Xiao Fei said solemnly, "You and my sister-in-law both said that this was composed by the Lu family, but I don't think so. The Lu family composed the music uninhibited and uninhibited, but this song is quite cold, with a long and distant tone. The feeling of longevity..."

"Miss Xiao's words are very true, but, look, the first part of this song..."

In the flower hall, Xiao Fei and Zhou Roujia talked to each other, and no one could convince the other. In the end, Nangong Yue simply had someone bring the piano so that they could try it at will.

I don't know when, the originally gloomy sky outside became brighter, the sun cleared the dark clouds, the breeze was breezy, accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano from time to time, the small flower hall was quiet.

On this day, until Zhou Roujia left, no one mentioned Aunt Zhang, no one mentioned the birthday banquet, and no one mentioned Second Young Master Xiao...

Zhou Roujia has all kinds of doubts in her heart, but she can only hold back.

Xiao Fei personally sent Zhou Roujia to the second gate of the palace, and went back to Bixiao Hall. She has always had a good impression of Zhou Roujia, but discussing relatives is not only about family, but also about a woman's character and temperament. Xiao Fei also knew that the family of the Zhou family was too inferior, and I am afraid that my sister-in-law would pay more attention to the girl Zhou Da.

Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and invited Zhou Roujia to come here today to see her conduct.

The incident of Pian Pian proves that her temperament is not impulsive, nor gentle, but polite and disciplined, neither humble nor arrogant. Later, when discussing the piano with her, Zhou Roujia was not influenced by external things and had no distractions. It can be seen that her The mind is relatively pure, and it should not be a person with many eyes.

This is quite appropriate, but I have to look at the style of the Zhou family.

Furthermore, it was the good of the two surnames who got married. If the Zhou family felt that Xiao Luan was inappropriate, this marriage would be impossible.

"Queer." Nangong Yue spoke up and said, "You can send me a salutation letter to Mrs. Zhou, and see when it's convenient for her. I want to talk to the mansion." Of course, before that, she had to go first. I persuaded King Zhennan... However, King Zhennan was in a good mood recently because he was about to get married, so it's not a problem to think about it.

Magpie is blessed.

Xiao Fei blinked, and immediately understood, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Sister-in-law is trying to talk to the Zhou family, right?

Although she said such a thing, her sister-in-law still gave the Zhou family enough respect.

If nothing else, this marriage should be very promising...

Sister-in-law did the right thing! Xiao Fei felt that she still had a lot to learn.

Xiao Fei took the piano score and went back in a very good mood. After a while, Queer brought the written salutation letter. Nangong Yue glanced at it and asked casually, "Is Xiao Hui back?"

Queer replied, "Not yet."

Nangong Yue looked out the window with no interest.

The content of Nan Liang's secret letter mentioned in the letter Xiao Hui brought back really made her feel uneasy, and she couldn't wait to do it right away... It's just that Xiao Yi told her not to panic and wait for his news. Nangong Yue did not act rashly, so as not to affect the layout of the official language. She even asked Xiao Hui to find Xiao Yi the day before yesterday. After all, if she wanted to send a letter, Xiao Hui would be faster and safer.

I don't know what's going on in Yanding City...
