Chapter 955 262 Delusion
At the flower viewing banquet, the whole room was shocked, and their unsure eyes swept across the faces of Mrs. Zhang and Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue tasted the delicacies on the table elegantly, as if everything Mrs. Zhang said had nothing to do with herself.
Mrs. Zhang's face was a little ugly, but she quickly changed back to the original sad old woman, and said sincerely: "Prince Prince, I have always heard of your reputation for being virtuous and virtuous, and I got the emperor in my boudoir. With the reputation of 'Huizhi Lanxin', you must be able to understand Laoshen's love for his granddaughter." She said, Laoshen burst into tears, grief-stricken, and tremblingly said, "Prince Concubine, I beg you, Laoshen. "..." She said as she gestured to get down on her knees.
Madam Zhang thought to herself, with her seniority and age, Nangong Yue would hurriedly come to support her. Then, in front of so many people, as long as she puts on a posture that she won't get up if she doesn't agree , she would not agree or not.
Mrs. Zhang thought so beautifully, she knelt down slowly, and secretly looked at Nangong Yue, but she was shocked to find that she was slowly pressing the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and looked over with a smile that was not a smile. Sitting upright, as if waiting for him to kneel down.
Do you really have to kneel to this Nangong Yue who is not even a granddaughter?
Madam Zhang had an embarrassed look on her face, and her movements froze there. She half bent her knees, not knowing whether to kneel or stand up.
Nangong Yue smiled lightly and calmly.
But Princess Qi was looking forward, and those eyes seemed to say: Why don't you kneel!
Mrs. Zhang secretly hated: She originally expected to use Princess Qi's momentum to push her, but it seemed she was really relying on the wrong person.
"Mrs. Zhang, get up first so you can talk." Mrs. Yu at the next table suddenly stood up, stepped forward to support Mrs. Zhang, and said disapprovingly, "The heart of the concubine is just like that. So hard, such an old man who is old enough to be your grandmother kneels in front of you like this, and you turn a blind eye?"
Nangong Yue said lightly: "Mrs. Yu, your words are so strange. As the concubine of this world, Mrs. Zhang just wanted to salute the concubine of this world to say hello, so how could she be the concubine of this world?" You are also the wife of a court official, so you don't know the rules, so it's better not to walk around, so as not to embarrass your husband's family."
Having said this, Nangong Yue smiled and continued: "What's more, the concubine of this world did not see Mrs. Zhang kneeling down. Mrs. Yu may not have a good eye, and she needs to find a doctor to take a look."
Mrs. Yu froze for a moment, and the female relatives around made low laughs, as if pointing at her. Her face turned red all of a sudden, but she couldn't refute it.
"Prince Concubine." Mrs. Zhang was obviously annoyed, and said in a blunt tone, "Do you have no compassion?"
Qi Wangfei said, fearing that the world would not be in chaos: "Princess Shizi, you still have a heart of compassion for ordinary people affected by the epidemic, but why are you so cold-hearted to the second princess?"
Liu Qingqing frowned, and was about to speak when she saw Nangongyue shaking her head at her. Liu Qingqing knew that this third aunt had always had an idea, so she hesitated and then retreated.
"Mrs. Zhang." Nangong Yue said slowly, "I don't quite understand this princess, what exactly did you mean by that?"
Mrs. Zhang gave Mrs. Yu a wink, and she heard the latter say: "Isn't the second princess knowingly asking this question? Her Royal Highness, the second princess, died early, and she had longed for Xiao Shizi, shouldn't you fulfill the second princess? An unfulfilled wish?" She almost didn't say that it was Nangong Yue who robbed the second princess' sweetheart.
Nangong Yue didn't look at her, but asked directly, "Is this what Madam Zhang thinks too?"
Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears and said, "Old Shen naturally thinks the same way."
"Bold!" Nangong Yue suddenly turned pretty face, slammed the table on the table, and said coldly, "The second princess has passed away, does Mrs. Zhang mean that it is impossible to have a yin marriage? At that time, Lord Shizi is now leading the army to fight on the battlefield, fighting against Nanman, and defending my country of Dayu. Madam Zhang, are you cursing Shizi, or do you hope that Dayu will be defeated by Nanman?!"
There was silence all around, Dayu was fighting with Nanman, who dared to curse Dayu to be defeated? This crime was really serious, and everyone dared not say much, for fear of saying the wrong thing accidentally, but also gained a new understanding of the prince and concubine of Zhennan: Although she is young, she is by no means to be rubbed by others. generation!
Mrs. Zhang was startled, and she felt a chill in her heart. If this crime was committed, even the daughter Zhang Concubine in the palace would not be able to protect herself.
Madam Zhang was secretly annoyed by Nangongyue's sharp teeth, and hurriedly argued in her mouth: "Of course Laoshen didn't mean that. It's just that Laoshen pitys the second princess for her early death, and no one offers incense, I'm afraid it will turn into a lonely ghost. Ghost, it's too pitiful to be lonely forever..." She sighed, her cloudy eyes full of pity.
"Mrs. Zhang, my condolences are by the way." Madam Yu comforted her with a sympathetic face, "Hey. Concubine Shizi is only worried that Shizi Xiao is going to fight outside, so she won't say anything. ...Actually, I have an idea of having the best of both worlds. She paused deliberately, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she could only continue to say, "Don't you have a second granddaughter, Mrs. Zhang? Why don't you just ask Miss Zhang to enter the door in the name of Her Royal Highness, the second princess?" , to give Xiao Shizi as a side concubine. Now, the second princess's wish can be fulfilled, and secondly, in the future, when the second girl Zhang gives birth to a child, she can also adopt the name of the second princess and offer incense to the second princess. Madam Zhang, Concubine Shi, what do you two think?"
"This..." Mrs. Zhang was embarrassed, but then she sighed and said, "Although I can't bear my two granddaughters, I can only do this for Her Royal Highness the second princess, that is..."
The two of them sang well, but they carried Nangong Yue on the bar.
The people around couldn't help but whisper, wanting to see how this childish princess Zhennan would respond.
"Haha." Nangong Yue laughed, and the smile was full of irony, "Mrs. Zhang, Madam Yu, who are the two surnames and who is the husband's family?"
The expressions of the two of them changed, and Madam Zhang asked with a stern face, "What does Concubine Shizi mean?"
Nangong Yue's eyes swept across the two of them coldly, and she said with a half-smile, "The two are neither the mother of the concubine of this world nor the mother-in-law of the concubine of this world, and they actually have long hands to control the concubine of this world. Come here, there are still such unruly things in this world? The Zhang family was born in a small family, and I don’t know the rules. The family of jinshi is so ignorant and ignorant, and the family education of the Sun family is evident."
Mrs. Yu's face was flushed, and she blurted out: "Prince Prince...you!"
Nangong Yue sneered: "You two talk so much to yourself, do you think that the girl from my Nangong family is not good enough? ... Or the girl from the Zhang family can't get married, and she always thinks of other people's husbands and husbands. ?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Er's reputation was completely ruined. If she could not enter the Xiao family's door in the end, I am afraid that no one in the right household would dare to come to the door to propose marriage again.
"Hahaha. Girl Yue, you are right." Princess Yuncheng's arrogant laughter broke the cold silence, "The Zhang family girl really can't get married. I'm afraid you don't know, their family, I've never had an original wife, no, I'm addicted to being a concubine now, and I always love Xiao to think of those married couples."
Everyone looked at the sound, only to find that Yun Cheng also heard the sound at some time, and Yuan Yuyi was following her.
"So that's the case..." Nangong Yue smiled at Yuncheng, and sang together, "Thanks to His Highness for telling Yue'er, it turns out that concubinage is still the tradition of the Zhang family, maybe it's still clan rules... ...It's rare to see such shameless people." She ignored Madam Zhang's dark face that was about to drip with ink, and the corners of her lips curled slightly, "But if you want to be a concubine, you have to agree to the mistress, what a pity, the concubine of this world. I look down on this unruly girl from your family to be a concubine!"
"you……"
Old Madam Zhang pointed her finger at Nangong Yue, her fingers were trembling, her lips were trembling, her face was red and black, as if she would faint at any time.
Madam Fu really couldn't stand it anymore, and she also said: "The Nangong family has strict rules, how can these small families be compared with each other? A businessman is a businessman. However, Mrs. Zhang, your Zhang family will also stay in the capital. It has been more than ten years, it is better to learn more rules, so as not to embarrass His Highness the Third Prince."
"Mrs. Fu!" Madam Yu finally found a chance to speak, and said with an uneven face, "What do you mean by that?" She glanced at Nangong Yue, and said meaningfully, "'jealousy' is contrary to "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments" are the names of 'Seven Out', don't you allow others to talk about it?"
"Wang Du's noble family, how could there be a reason for taking a concubine less than a year after getting married?" Madame Fu said mockingly, "So it turns out that the Sun family is no more than the two top scholars."
Although there were many concubines and concubines at that time, in order to take into account the face of the wife and family, they generally did not take concubines in a grand manner within three years of the newlyweds, and at most a few concubines were added to the room. And the more noble the family is, the more so. Even in some strict families, there is a rule that the eldest son is not allowed to take a concubine seriously until he is born.
After all, for a family, the eldest son is the most important.
Except for the royal family, of course.
The noble ladies in the banquet all sneered with disdain. Most of their families did not stand in line yet. Although they were disdainful for what the Zhang family asked, it had nothing to do with them after all. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yu's ugliness made them look down on them even more.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family was the uncle's family of the third prince, no one would be patient with such a businessman's family.
As for the Yu family and the Sun family, the noble ladies here have already crossed them out from the list of future marriages. Whether they are son-in-law or daughter-in-law, they really look down on such petty people.
Prince Enguo looked at Nangong Yue with admiration, seeing that she was still indifferent to this moment, and her every move was in all manners, and she secretly praised: she is indeed a girl from the Nangong family.
Not only the prince's wife, but also many ladies during the banquet thought so, and some even secretly planned to go back and inquire about the girls in the Nangong family who were still waiting.
"Concubine Shi, it's really my fault today." Mrs. Enguo slowly got up in the eyes of everyone, and apologized to Nangong Yue, "I sent this chrysanthemum reward post, I didn't take into account the person who received the post. Identity..." As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Shizi and instructed meaningfully, "In the future, when we post again, we should pay attention to avoiding those small families who don't understand the rules."
"Yes, mother." Mrs. Shizi said respectfully, "Daughter-in-law knows."
Everyone gasped, how could the Duke Enguo's mansion be so dignified to order the third prince's uncle's house to be expelled?
However, Duke Enguo's mansion is indeed not afraid of the third prince. After all, their family relies on the queen and the direct son of the middle palace.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't get up in one breath, so she pouted.
"Mrs. Zhang!" Madam Yu shouted in panic, "Quick, send the old lady back to the mansion..."
There was chaos during the banquet, and Zhang Yiyan supported her with a pale face, and shouted tearfully, "Grandma, don't scare Ren'er, grandma!"
The maid and the old lady of Zhang's house immediately surrounded her, and soon helped the fainted old Madam Zhang away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yu was about to take the opportunity to retire, when one of her maids quietly ran back and told her one thing - her "golden back red" turned out to be broken by Zhang Yiren.
The Zhang family, thanks to her hard work today, even disregarded her own face and even the face of her parents' family. In order to deal with the Zhang family, she Zhang Yiren actually broke her "golden back and red"? Madam Yu was very angry, and followed suit.
"Madam! Madam!"
As Mrs. Yu was also helped to leave, the Yulin Pavilion returned to silence.
The guests looked at the empty doorway for a while before they came to their senses and discussed what happened just now. , whispering:
"Mrs. Liu, do you think this can be done?"
"It does sound absurd to let Second Lady Zhang hold the spiritual throne of the Second Princess and marry into the Zhennan Palace."
"I don't think it's a good idea. The Emperor used to love His Royal Highness the Second Princess very much."
"That's right, the second princess is gone, her small request is nothing but a word to the emperor..."
"No way?"
"..."
The more everyone discussed, the more excited they became, and the atmosphere in the entire Yulin Pavilion became a little weird.
The female relatives around them all felt a little uncomfortable with Fu Yunyan, Liu Qingqing and others sitting on the side with prying eyes, not to mention the fact that they could guess eight out of ten by listening to a few words. Nine.
Yun Cheng hurriedly comforted Nangong Yue and said, "Yue'er, you don't have to worry, this old lady Zhang is a mother and a daughter, and she's used to it all these years, so much that she has forgotten her own background. Just a woman..." She snorted disdainfully, "The emperor would never agree to such absurd request of her!" This kind of thing spread out, it would make people laugh out loud, I am afraid this family is eating Zhun Nangong Yue was only thirteen years old, and she was a new daughter-in-law. She was thin-skinned and wanted her to relax first.
"His Royal Highness said that." Madam Fu also said, "It is impossible for the emperor and the queen to agree to such an unheard of absurd thing."
The two elders have a heart of love, and Nangong Yue naturally understands it. She quickly stood up and blessed them: "Yue'er thanked His Highness and Aunt Fu's care."
Princess Yuncheng and Yuan Yuyi also sat down at this table. In order to ease the atmosphere, Yuan Yuyi deliberately asked Yuncheng: "Mother, I just heard from you that the Zhang family has never had an original wife, then What's going on? If others don't say it, then Mrs. Pingyang Hou is always the original wife..." But since Mrs. Zhang didn't refute just now, wouldn't there be any unknown secrets in the Pingyang Hou residence?
Yuan Yuyi thought about it, and the other female relatives around also thought about it, and they all pricked up their ears.
Yun Cheng knew this, but he deliberately raised a tone: "Sister Yi, you weren't born at that time, so of course you didn't know it. The current Mrs. Pingyang Hou is not the original match of Pingyang Hou at all. At that time, The Marquis of Pingyang was only the eldest son of Qu. Apart from his original wife, he took the Zhang family as his second wife, but the first wife was unlucky, so he left within two years, and the eldest son of Qu put the Zhang family to the right. Later, the late emperor named the deceased old marquis the Marquis of Pingyang, and Mrs. Zhang became Mrs. Pingyang Hou Shizi and Mrs. Pingyang Marquis all the way. The Qu family only knew about some close officials who had followed the late emperor before. Of course, Jia himself deliberately avoided saying it, and slowly, naturally, no one knew about it."
The surrounding guests did not expect that the Marquis of Pingyang mansion still has such a hot news, and when they think about the quarrel between Mrs. Zhang and Nangong Yue just now, they feel that this trip is worthwhile. When the Zhennan Prince's Mansion faces the third prince's uncle Zhang Mansion, what will be the outcome?
Everyone's heart was turbulent, and they continued to pay attention to the movement of Nangong Yue's table.
Mrs. Fu also nodded and said, "Since the Zhang family had a prince Liang Di, that is, after the current concubine Zhang, she always wanted to take advantage of the girls in the house to take advantage of opportunities and take shortcuts. Look at this young generation. , Miss Zhang is the concubine for King Weinan." Although King Weinan is the king of the county and has a noble status, but with the status of Zhang's house, Miss Zhang is completely qualified to be a second- or third-rank family. Concubine!
After Yun Cheng and Mrs. Fu said this, the guests felt that it was really the case, and there was even a new discovery——
"So, even the cousin of Zhang's house seems to be a concubine." A lady whispered, "Isn't this Mingyue County Master going to Xirong to be a concubine for King Xirong?"
"Now Mrs. Zhang wants to send her to be a concubine even when the second princess is dead, this Zhang family is really..."
During the banquet, the female relatives chatted in full swing and were in a good mood. They felt that there would be no shortage of topics for the king in the next half month.
It's really thanks to Zhang Fu!
...
After everyone was chatting excitedly, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yiren finally returned to the mansion. Mrs. Zhang woke up in the carriage, but she was still full of fire and could not let it out. A dark shadow lingered.
"How unreasonable, really unreasonable..." Madam Zhang trembled with anger when she thought of what had just happened at Duke Enguo's mansion.
These people actually dare to laugh at themselves, it's really deceiving people!
"Grandmother, calm down, if it hurts your body, wouldn't it make them proud." Zhang Yiren quickly comforted Mrs. Zhang, and helped her to sit down on the mahogany chair, "Grandma, sit down first. Take a break and drink some tea..." Then he scolded a maid in the room wearing a green robe, "Jin Qiao, what are you still doing, why don't you go and serve tea to the old lady!"
"Yes, eldest girl." The maid Jin Qiao responded, and hurriedly brought the tea, she timidly said, "Old Madam, please drink tea." Then she put the tea cup on the big mahogany table.
Madam Zhang picked up the tea cup and just touched her lips, she smashed the tea cup on Jin Qiao's head, and scolded angrily: "Bitch, you dare to serve this hot tea to the old man, do you want to? Burn the old man to death?"
Jin Qiao fell to her knees with a "thump", ignoring that the wet patch on her head was burned red, she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Old madam, spare your life, old madam..."
"Mother," Zhang Mianzhi hurried in at this moment, frowned and asked, "what's the matter?"
Zhang Yiren stepped forward and saluted: "Father, it's nothing, it's just that the tea on Jin Qiao scalded my grandmother, and my grandmother accidentally threw it on her head." She took it lightly.
Zhang Mianzhi didn't take this to heart, he waved his hand and said, "Clean up the house and leave."
The maids and wives in the house hurriedly tidied up the house, and then all retreated outside the house.
"Mother, the chrysanthemum banquet is not over yet, why did you come back so soon?" Zhang Mianyi heard that Mrs. Zhang had withdrawn, and felt that something was wrong, so he made an excuse and left.
Zhang Mianyi asked, and Mrs. Zhang's face darkened a little in an instant. With a sigh of relief, she originally told the story of the chrysanthemum banquet, and finally said: "I'm so angry! Speaking of which, I really did not expect that Nangongyue was so skillful at such a young age that she could have someone help her to such an extent, but I actually underestimated her!" Speaking of which, Madam Zhang rattled her teeth with hatred. "It's not easy for Er Niang to get to where she is now, but now I don't know what it will be like!"
Zhang Mianzhi didn't care at all, and said calmly: "Mother, it's been so many years since the second sister's affair, so even if someone finds out, will it still shake her status? It's just a matter of a few days to discuss this matter. It's over, it won't hurt the second sister at all. Now the second sister has sons and daughters, and she is deeply respected by the Hou Pingyang. She is sitting firmly in the position of Mrs. Hou, so why should you worry! Now, the most important thing is How can I make Sister Er enter the Zhennan Palace smoothly..."
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Yiren with pity on her face and hesitated: "Boss, I always feel that it is not right for Sister Ren to hold the tablet of the second princess into the mansion... That Nangongyue has a lot of scheming. , jealous, if our sister Eren really entered the palace, I am afraid that life will be difficult. Why don't you choose a concubine?" Mrs. Zhang has always loved this second granddaughter very much, and asked Zhang Yiren to hold a tablet for a dead man to marry. She had already felt wronged when she entered the Nanwang Mansion, but now she found out that Nangongyue was not a good person, so naturally she didn't want Zhang Yiren to suffer.
"Mother, do you think that the third prince and I have not considered this? The status of this concubine is always too low. Since we want to stand up for the second princess, we can't fall into the limelight. We must make a choice." Zhang Mianzhi advised, "In any case, Sister Er entered the palace with the second princess' tablet, which represents the second princess and the face of the royal family. How could the Queen and Concubine Zhennan dare to treat Sister Er badly? As long as Sister Er can marry smoothly. Wangfu, her good days are still to come!".
Mrs. Zhang still disagreed: "There is a prince and concubine of Zhennan on the top, where can we live comfortably?!" Mrs. Zhang thought: Even if you don't dare to treat badly, in the back house, secretly let people There are many ways to be unhappy!
Zhang Yiren lowered her eyebrows and stood aside, her eyes flickering.
"Mother, listen to me, the Concubine Zhennan is still young, and she will not be able to consummate the marriage with the Prince of Zhennan until she is married. It is impossible for the Prince to wait, and it is impossible to keep the Concubine alone all the time. In the palace, such a living beauty stops at Shizi, I don’t believe Shizi will not be happy...” Zhang Mianzhi is still extremely confident in the beauty of his second daughter Zhang Yiren, “Once Sister Er is favored and given birth to After Lin'er, he will be succeeded to the name of the second princess, the future prince, and even the throne of Zhennan will be this child. When the third prince is done in the future, and ascending to the supreme position, His Royal Highness will naturally I will decide for Sister Eun..."
Zhang Mianzhi said with a meaningful smile, "His Royal Highness said that in the future, he will definitely think of a way to do it except for the Nangong family. At that time, Nangong Yue will be nothing, whether to kill or abolish, it will not be up to Sister Ren. A word."
"Get rid of the Nangong family?" Mrs. Zhang was slightly surprised, and her face loosened a little, "If that's the case, it's not bad."
Zhang Yiren's eyes also lit up, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already seen his bright future.
Zhang Mianzhi emphasized: "As long as Sister Eun enters the Zhennan Palace, her future can be said to be bright! Sister Eun is my daughter, can I still harm her as a father?"
"Boss, of course I know you're thinking of Sister En, but what can we do if Nangong Yue is bitten to death and doesn't agree with Sister En holding the second princess in the palace?" Madam Zhang recalled Nangong Yue's attitude today. , I think this may not be so smooth.
Zhang Mianzhi snorted disdainfully, not worried at all, and said: "The emperor is filial, and he listens to the queen mother the most. And the queen mother cares most about the emperor. The mother only needs to follow the words of the third prince, and the queen mother will definitely agree. , As long as the queen mother agrees, the emperor will naturally not object. After all, the second princess is the emperor's daughter no matter what, and now she just wants to get incense offerings after her death."
Mrs. Zhang nodded again and again: "What I mean is, I will hand over the card to the palace in a while and ask my aunt to take me to see the queen mother."
"Father, grandmother..." Zhang Yiren couldn't help but reminded softly, "Prince and Concubine Zhennan often come and go in and out of the palace, we can't let her take the lead."
Zhang Mianzhi nodded and said, "Sister Ren reminds me, mother, you should go to the palace early tomorrow to settle the matter!"
The grandparents and grandchildren all smiled complacently, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
Naturally, Nangong Yue didn't know about the various plans of Zhang's residence. After she happily used up the banquet at Duke Enguo's residence, she returned to the palace.
Nangong Yue sat in front of the dressing table and let Baihui take off her head. Instead of tiredness, she looked more energetic.
"Prince Prince, the Zhang family is really annoying." Lily said indignantly, "Kind the yin relatives. It's a blessing that they have the face to say it."
"That's why the old lady Zhang came forward and tried to force me to agree with the old man." Nangong Yue said with a chuckle, "She is deceiving me because I am young and thin-skinned, and she can let his family walk around. It's just whimsical."
If Nangong Yue is really thin-skinned, in front of so many people, I am afraid she will be pressed step by step.
Lily looked at Nangong Yue with bright eyes and said, "Concubine Shi, didn't you expect it?" Today's remarks made Mrs. Zhang and the inexplicable Mrs. Yu unable to say a word, and they were still angry and dizzy. Mrs. Zhang is really happy.
"I'm not an immortal, the concubine of your family, so how can I predict the prophet." Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "However, these days, seeing the Zhang family jump up and down, and so many things happen, I have to be prepared. She raised her small chin deliberately, and said confidently, "Who is the concubine of this world, how could someone force her into a corner without being able to fight back."
Xiao Yi is her husband, how can she be coveted by others!
"Concubine Shizi is great!" Lily applauded while joking aside, and grabbed Xiaobai who was licking her hair by the way, pulled her two front claws and patted it together, causing Xiaobai to flutter, "Meow-wu !"
It was rare for Baihui not to stare at her, and she said worriedly, "Concubine Shizi, do you want to come to the palace? If it is the Zhang family..."
"No need." Nangong Yue said lazily, "The Zhang family will definitely go to the palace tomorrow to ask to see the Queen Mother... I have already done what I have to do. Next, wait for the Queen Mother to announce that I am.... You will tell me later. The small kitchen will prepare a rock candy Sydney for me to moisten my throat."
She still holds a key secret in her hand. This time, whether it's the Zhang family, the second princess, or Han Lingfu, they won't make it easier for them!
