The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(156)
Princess Jin slowly opened her eyes and looked at the calm eyes of everyone. With the help of the girl, she leaned on the soft pillow with a slight smile on her lips: "I have been having this problem for many years, and it happens several times every year. I think it makes everyone happy." My sister-in-law and sister-in-law laughed at me."
"I think the fifth sister-in-law is probably ill, or is someone getting in the way?" Princess Wu, the youngest, said straightforwardly.
No one answered her, but the eyes looking at Princess Jin expressed this meaning.
Princess Jin didn't say anything, she just looked at people and smiled, making those who wanted to see the joke feel embarrassed.
Princess Wu smiled and slapped herself in the mouth, "Look at my mouth, I really don't know how to handle it. Fifth sister-in-law, please don't argue with me."
Princess An glanced at Princess Wu with a smile but not a smile, "Don't say it yet, seventh daughter-in-law, keep your mouth in check from now on. You talk nonsense all day long, others don't think you are hysterical."
Princess Wu smiled even more awkwardly, but with a hint of coquettishness: "Second sister-in-law, I already said I knew I was wrong. It's all my fault. I talked nonsense. Sisters-in-law, please don't argue with me."
After such an interruption, no one mentioned the previous issue again. After asking about Princess Jin's health, and saying a few words of concern each other, the princesses left and made an appointment with Princess Jin to wait for her to recover some other time. She came over to have tea.
Before leaving the house, Princess Yong glanced at Princess Jin, but Princess Jin did not look at her.
Silence finally returned to the room. The girls who had been standing aside all left at some point, leaving only Zi Yan.
Princess Jin now only has Zi Yan left by her side, everyone else has left, and Zhou's mother was sent back to the Duke's Mansion. Princess Jin didn't know how King Jin interacted with the Duke's government, and she didn't want to know. From the moment Li Dequan witnessed everything, she knew that everything was over.
She didn't want to think about anything now, let alone what others would think of her.
In fact, this is fine, it is more suitable for her.
Fucheng walked in from outside quietly. He just walked in like this and conveyed King Jin's words. In fact, Princess Jin was a smart person and knew that making too much embarrassment would do no good to either of them, so she said and did nothing.
"His Highness said that the princess is not in good health, and it is not good for you to stay bored in this mansion all the time. The palace has a village outside the city, where the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is beautiful. Please let us send your mother-in-law to the village to recuperate."
"He won't destroy me?" Only then did Princess Jin turn her head to look at Fucheng.
Fucheng chuckled and remained silent.
Princess Jin said: "Then let's go."
Chapter 124
After leaving the main courtyard, Princess Wu saw that Princess Yong seemed to be looking back at something, and she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What is the fourth sister-in-law looking at?"
Princess Yong withdrew her eyes, looked at her, and smiled: "It's nothing."
Princess An asked from the side: "You probably don't know, your fourth sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law used to be handkerchiefs. They probably felt it from their hearts."
Princess Wu's big eyes flickered a few times, and she was about to say something when she was interrupted by Princess Yong's voice: "I can't understand what the second sister-in-law said. What does it mean to feel something from the heart? But that's right, I'm jealous. Sir, my Highness also respects me and doesn't usually bring unscrupulous people back to trouble me. It does save me a lot of trouble, unlike some houses where there are a lot of concubines and concubines. Mistress, I’m either exhausted or pissed off, don’t you think so, Second Sister-in-law?”
After saying these words, Princess An's expression immediately changed.
Princess Yong's words were obviously referring to the mulberry scolding the pagoda and the bald man scolding the monk. Prince An's Mansion is filled with concubines and concubines, but the key is that none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Princess An is tired of dealing with them every day, and her chest hurts all the time when she is angry.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, are you telling your second sister-in-law this?"
Princess Yong's appearance was neither salty nor bland, and her bright eyebrows revealed a sharpness. She was different from her usual tendency to play both sides, and was exquisite in all directions.
"I don't dare. As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like the mother. Today, the eldest sister-in-law is not here, and the second sister-in-law is the eldest. How can I, a younger brother and sister, dare to make fun of the second sister-in-law. Second sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. Didn't you just say, I just feel it.”
This kind of verbal agility can kill people without bloodshed, and can also make people unable to grasp the clues. If Princess An cared too much, she would be a little kid, but if she didn't care, Princess Yong obviously meant something.
Princess An was so angry that she flicked her sleeves, turned around and left.
Princess Qing called her second sister-in-law from behind and chased after her.
Several other princesses stayed to talk to Princess Yong, mostly talking about Princess An's affairs. She was said to be generous on the surface, but in reality she was a jealous woman. When she was in the fiefdom, she could make trouble no matter how much she did. When she came to the capital, she was the same. Qian'er was called into the palace by Empress Wei to give her a lecture. Even Concubine Qian Xian fell into the trap. row.
Since she stayed and said this, she was obviously on Princess Yong's side, so she gave a few explanations appropriately, saying that she did not mean to ridicule Princess An, and she did not know that Princess An had been reprimanded.
But everyone knew whether it was true or not, and no one was interested in revealing it anyway.
The maid led them all the way to the flower hall where the banquet was held. Princess An was sitting there drinking tea, with Princess Qing accompanying her. As soon as she saw several sisters-in-law arriving, Princess Qing quickly stood up to greet them.
After everyone made some jokes to reconcile, Princess Yong bowed her head and apologized. As a sister-in-law, Princess An naturally couldn't be embarrassed anymore. The two of them talked and laughed as if they were the same person, as if nothing had happened.
But whether something happened or not, only each other knew clearly.
After the banquet, they sat and drank tea for a while. When someone came from the front yard to inform the princes that the banquet was over, they went back to their respective mansions.
Returning to Prince Yong's Mansion, Prince Yong, who smelled of alcohol, asked his maid to change while facing Princess Yong: "I heard that you just had an argument with your second sister-in-law at the back?"
Naturally, I heard this from what the girl said. King Yong never concealed from Princess Yong that he had let people go by her side. Princess Yong also knew about this, and she didn't express any objection to it and didn't seem to care.
"You figured it out pretty quickly."
"Why did my second sister-in-law offend you?"
Princess Yong snorted and said nothing.
King Yong smiled and came to her: "Is there really something wrong with your old lady?"
In fact, before going to Prince Jin's Mansion, Princess Yong had some idea that the matter might have been exposed. She just didn't expect that Prince Jin would be so cruel and even restrained Princess Jin's feet. She was not allowed to show up on such occasions.
Seeing that Princess Yong ignored him, Prince Yong touched his nose and said, "I forgot to tell you something. Lao Wu seems to want to divorce his wife."
Princess Yong, who had been sitting lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, suddenly sat upright. Seemingly knowing that she had gone too far, she leaned back again, then frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Didn't I forget that Li Dequan went to Prince Jin's Mansion that day and stayed there for some time? The next day, my father called Lao Wu into the palace. When he came out of Qianqing Palace, Lao Wu looked a little unhappy. It's good to see. There happened to be some of our people who were waiting in front of the emperor yesterday, and they spread the word that the father and Lao Wu played some riddles." He repeated what Emperor Hongjing and King Jin said that day.
After Princess Yong heard this, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After a long while, he said: "So, King Jin really wants to divorce his wife? But Duke Xu's Mansion——"
King Yong smiled and sat down next to her: "Lao Wu's temper has been unpredictable since he was a child. Every time you think he will behave like this, he can surprise people. If it were anyone else, it would be fine. If it’s him, I won’t be surprised.”
Not everyone can tolerate their daughter-in-law messing around with others. The fact that King Jin can tolerate it is beyond King Yong's expectation.
"Is it because of the woman named Su?"
King Yong's eyes became full of interest: "You probably don't know, right? The Shen family has a prostitute. Do you think any of the men in the Shen family have concubines? Then there has been only one second eldest son in the Shen family for many years. The Shen family is dead. Although the eldest son has a concubine, it is said that he left it behind when he was drunk. This matter caused a lot of commotion in the capital. "Because Mrs. Shen was a jealous woman, she forced the child's mother out of the house.
"She should have been killed in the first place!" Princess Yong suddenly said this with hatred.
"Look at you, are you feeling sorry for my wife?"
Princess Yong was a little uncomfortable with Prince Yong's tone. She raised her eyebrows with a half-smile and looked at him sharply: "Never mind the previous relationship between me and her, I used her for you back then. Let's go back to the same level. Yima, you have made King Jin suffer a lot in your hands through her these years. I have to repay my kindness, and I can’t scold my mother when I’m eating at the table. That’s not my character, He Wanyi!”
This is He Wanyi's true face. She says what she wants to say, so direct that it makes people feel sharp. But it is in this way that she is the most charming, like a rose with thorns.
King Yong raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my despicable shamelessness. Then what do you want to do? Bring her to our house and make her your sister..." These words were still floating in the air. The tone in Princess Yong's eyes changed: "It's impossible for Lao Wu to divorce her. He thought, even the father would not let her go. How could he give the daughter of the Wang family to Zhao Zuo, who he still wanted to leave to him? Leave a chance.”
Princess Yong's eyes rolled for a moment before she said, "You don't have to worry about this matter."
"Don't care, just don't do bad things anyway. Then Wang Defang can marry anyone, but it can't be my good brothers." King Yong said, and started to move towards Princess Yong. He just liked her poisonous, spicy and choking appearance, and he always had an uncontrollable impulse every time he saw her.
Princess Yong frowned and allowed King Yong to do whatever she wanted. The girls had already left when the two of them were talking, and there were only two of them left in the huge room. After a while, there were two more entangled figures on the imperial concubine's couch.
