The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(132)
After all, she still didn't want him to feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle. After all, it was his maternal grandfather's home.
His heart suddenly softened, and he felt a little angry. His wife and children had suffered in vain and could not get them back. There is also a kind of hatred that iron cannot become steel. Why is she so soft and unable to imitate others? She even made Princess Jin angry and wanted her to die. With her skills, she had thousands of ways to make the other party say what they said and how to swallow them, making it impossible for people to find fault or reason. , and she dared to watch from the side.
So just as Fucheng thought at the beginning, if the mind is biased, it is biased, and there are always challenges.
Prince Jin, who was distracted, said with an angry tone: "Why are you so stupid? If she says something to you, just give it back. The sky will not fall. If it does, I, the king, who is taller than you, will be there to support you."
"She is an elder. Besides, it doesn't matter if she says a few words. After all, she is an elder."
"There are some elders who are disrespectful to their elders, so you will suffer too?" King Jin squinted at her.
Yao Niang's thick eyelashes fluttered, and she secretly looked at him from below: "Then your Highness, you mean you don't have to suffer anymore?"
"Well, you don't have to suffer."
Yao Niang couldn't help but leaned over and leaned against him: "Then from now on, I won't let anyone say anything about me, I will only speak to His Highness."
Looking at her cute little look, King Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then raised them again, but he still looked incomprehensible and condescending: "Well, I'll just tell this to you."
"If someone talks about me, I will criticize them."
"Confrontation! Only I, the king, can say it, no one can say it!"
Xiaobao was helpless when he came back to his senses. He felt that his whole body was trembling just now. Compared with this scene, it was a joke, and he felt as if his efforts were in vain.
At the same time, in Siyi's courtyard, Princess Jin was not in a good mood.
To be honest, she was not in a good mood today.
It was her duty as a princess and a head wife to visit Duke Ning's mansion, but the protagonist was not her, but Su Yaoniang.
Mrs. Ning Guogong was indeed negligent for a moment, but it is precisely a moment of negligence that can reflect a person's true state of mind. In the eyes of the Shen family, one Su Yaoniang is probably worth countless others.
One is not pregnant and the other is pregnant. Are they treated differently? What Mrs. Shen said was obviously to sow discord, but it was like a thorn piercing Princess Jin's heart.
She couldn't help but think of her mother's increasingly conceding attitude toward Yulan's bitch in recent years. After all, it still has an impact. This is the difference between having a son and not having a son. If her mother lives a long life, she is destined to beg for food under Aunt Yulan's two sons, so she softens her attitude.
Could it be that one day she will be reduced to this situation?
Su Yaoniang is honest now because she knows that she should be honest at this time, and it is unknown whether she can be honest in the future. I remember that Aunt Yulan was so honest when she first came in, but her face gradually changed.
"Madam, today the Marquis of Nanchuan has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend tea tomorrow."
The current eldest wife of the Nanchuan Marquis Mansion is Chen Miaoran, the second daughter of the Chen family in the Jinyang Marquis Mansion, and the cousin of Princess Jin. When the two were not married, they had frequent interactions. This time, I probably knew that Princess Jin was back, so I placed the invitation.
"I'll go tomorrow."
A night of silence.
The next day, Princess Jin went to Jinyang Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Shizi stood in front of the main room to greet her. Princess Jin was surprised to see her pregnant belly: "Look at your belly. How many months have you been pregnant?"
"It's almost eight months. It's not that I'm older. This time when you come back, it's me who comes to find you."
The two of them were just going back and forth like this, looking at each other and smiling, and the feelings of cousins in their early years were restored. Before Princess Jin got married, she didn't have many friends. The only one she was close to was her cousin He Wanyi.
The two of them walked in together and sat down in the hall.
Chen Miaoran asked the maid to bring her children. She was a blessed person. She was married to Princess Jin and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Now she still has one in her belly.
"The prince has seen the imperial doctor and said it's a boy. It would be great if it turns out to be a boy. My heart would be at peace."
"You gave birth to Brother Tao and Sister Han, and you have Jinyang Marquis Mansion and Xu Guogong Mansion supporting you. Why are you uneasy?" Princess Jin said disapprovingly.
Chen Miaoran stepped back, and then whispered with a somewhat sad face: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Although the prince loves and respects me, he can't bear to have a mother-in-law above him. You don't know, the second year after I got married, She made fun of the two girls next to the prince. I had a fight with her and almost had a miscarriage. Although it subsided, it didn't take long for her to return to her old ways. She said that if I continued to make trouble, it would be jealous. If someone gives birth to a son, he may have several concubines, concubines and concubines in the future. I will give birth to more legitimate sons to prevent those cats and dogs from having any unwanted thoughts. "
This is the thought that most noble ladies would have. If they have good intentions, they will just turn a blind eye. If they have evil intentions, they may have a few innocent infants in their hands.
Princess Jin was not surprised that her cousin would think so, but she felt a little bit suffocated and felt that being reborn as a woman was the greatest hardship in the world.
"By the way, I've also heard about the incident in Prince Jin's Mansion. Logically speaking, I shouldn't say this, but after all, we are cousins, and I'm worried about you. If you are really incapable, why not bring that person to the house? Bring a child to you, so that you can have someone to rely on in the future, and the child is in your hands, so you don't have to worry about her having any thoughts on you. "
Chapter 106
Hearing this, Princess Jin felt bitter in her heart, as if she had drunk yellow water.
She knew that this must have been said by her mother and aunt, and her aunt used Ran Jie'er to persuade her, but the problem was——
She couldn't say anything.
Princess Jin pretended to be fine and smiled, looking at her cousin: "Tell me the truth, did my mother go to my aunt and tell her something?"
Chen Miaoran showed a trace of discomfort on her face, and didn't want to lie to her cousin, explaining: "Aunt is also worried about you."
Princess Jin sighed: "I know you are all worried about me, but this matter is really not what I want to do." She looked at the other party with a complicated look, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, His Highness has asked for her to be a concubine, and the imperial edict will come down soon. She is a concubine who was officially appointed by the emperor. If there is no reason to stand firm, I can't take her child to raise."
Besides, the King of Jin would not agree.
Upon hearing this, Chen Miaoran became anxious. "Then you just sit there and watch, and do nothing? I heard from my mother that she was just born in a small family, how could she be made a concubine. Sister Ru, I think you should think of a way. I think this girl is not that simple, maybe she is another Yulan..."
The next words stopped abruptly when she saw the slightly frowned eyebrows of Princess Jin.
"Sister Ru, I didn't mention her on purpose. I just... Alas, if it really doesn't work, it's better to open the face of the maid next to you, and then give birth to a child, and then you can bring it over."
Princess Jin really didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, which would remind her of her embarrassing situation.
Whether it was her mother, aunt, or Sister Ran, they only knew one side of the story, if the incident had not been discovered by King Jin.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. If you ask me to have tea, just talk about this. I'm leaving." She was about to get up.
Chen Miaoran also knew that this matter should not be rushed, and hurriedly pulled her: "I just miss you after not seeing you for many years. You can't leave, let's sit together and talk for a while. If you don't want to talk about this, then let's not talk about it."
After that, the two cousins skipped this and talked about other things, laughing and talking.
Seeing that the sun was shining outside, not too cold or too hot, the two simply changed the place to talk and went to the back garden.
After chatting for a while, Chen Miaoran wanted to go to the bathroom, so he left in a hurry. Princess Jin sat in the pavilion, sipping tea while thinking about her own thoughts.
"Yan Ru..."
Hearing this familiar voice, Princess Jin subconsciously turned her head and saw Princess Yong standing behind her.
"Why are you here!"
Princess Jin's reaction hurt Princess Yong very much. A gloomy look flashed across her face, and she hesitated and said, "I went to see my aunt, and my aunt asked me to persuade you..."
Princess Jin knew what was going on without having to listen to the rest of the words. Her mother must have seen that she had been good with He Wanyi, so she wanted her to persuade her.
Her mother was really well-intentioned, asking her aunt and cousin, and He Wanyi.
It's a pity that she was unfilial.
"What to persuade? They don't know, don't you know?" Princess Jin was very irritable, and couldn't help but have a hint of sarcasm on her face: "I'm not as capable as you, and I can't be so thick-skinned and lick it."
Princess Jin had never said such cold words to Princess Yong before. When she said it, she was stunned, and Princess Yong was even more heartbroken.
"In the end, you are still blaming me..."
"Can you not mention that?" Princess Jin's voice was a little loud, which frightened herself and Princess Yong. She took a deep breath: "Don't treat me as a fool. Don't tell me that it wasn't you who poisoned Hu Mingyu."
"Ziyu? What happened to Ziyu?"
Princess Jin looked at Princess Yong's expression, and was indeed full of confusion and suspicion.
If it wasn't her, who could it be?
"Who is Hu Mingyu? Yanru, did Ziyu do something wrong? If so, you don't have to worry about my face. I gave her to you, and she was yours. In fact, you also know what Ziyu is used for. Since you told me not to look for you again, I have never contacted Ziyu again."
