The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(184)
If Brother Yan didn't come to help Xiaobao, or if the two girls were too timid to step forward to help, Xiaobao would be in dire straits today. The key point is that even if you are beaten, there is no reason to say anything. They are all little brats, so if they are beaten, they will be beaten. As long as the vital parts are not hurt, they will not get justice.
In the previous generation, King Jin taught Xiaobao to always act after planning, rather than doing something he knew was impossible. Xiaobao also knew it, but he just couldn't see anyone bullying her.
Because in the last life, he just watched someone bully her, but there was nothing he could do about it.
By the time he married her, his health was already so bad that he couldn't even stay in bed. He gave her status, but he also brought her many unbearable burdens. Some people say that she is the Crown Princess of Chongxi, while others say that she is destined to remain a widow. He actually knew that although those people were respectful, they actually had everything they wanted to say.
But she always seemed to act like nothing was wrong, never showing it in front of him, and the things about her family...
In his last life, he told himself that if there was an afterlife, he would protect her from being bullied.
Sure enough, there was an afterlife, and he unexpectedly met her as a little girl so early, so even though he knew he couldn't do it, he still did it.
Xiaobao, who was less than two years old, was held in her arms by her mother. There was a bruise on her chubby little face, and she was also slightly sentimental. This kind of sentimentality is incomprehensible, so Yao Niang subconsciously thinks that Prince Jin's mouth was too poisonous and hurt Xiaobao's young heart.
"How old is Xiaobao? Have you never fought with a boy doll when you were a child?"
Of course I did! But usually he hits others!
Knowing that if he continued talking, neither mother nor son wanted to see him, King Jin maintained his usual inscrutable style and chose to remain silent.
After leaving Xuanwu Gate, the carriage was already waiting.
Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu came out first and had already boarded the car. King Jin helped Yaoniang get into the car. After she sat down, Fang handed the little treasure to her and got into the car himself. Just as he was about to open his mouth and let people go, someone suddenly came to the carriage.
It was the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo holding her daughter Yueyue.
She bowed first and then whispered: "I just heard from my daughter that the young master of your mansion fought with the young master of Prince Helu's mansion because he was protecting my daughter. I'm really sorry for causing the young master to suffer." hurt."
This prince's wife is from the south, and she speaks in the Wu dialect, which is really nice. She looked like a person with a gentle temperament, and Yao Niang had an inexplicable fondness for her when she saw her.
"It's nothing. Children are naughty. Boys grow up playing around with each other." Yao Niang's words were not just a casual statement, but what she really thought in her heart. All the boys she saw since she was a child were like this. They are in groups of three and five, running around like crazy and rolling in the mud. Only in this way can the children grow up healthy.
Besides, it seemed that the children of Wang Lu's family had suffered a lot. Yao Niang had just observed that Xiaobao was the least injured among the male dolls.
Mrs. Shizi smiled shyly, "But I still have to thank you." Then she said to Yueyue in her arms, "Yueyue, you still haven't thanked me, young master."
Xiao Yueyue's eye circles are still a little red, but because the light is not bright, it is not visible. But her eyes were very bright, as if they had been washed by spring water.
She looked at Xiaobao and said, "Thank you, brother Xiaobao."
Seeing that Xiaobao was silent, Yao Niang smiled and apologized to Mrs. Shizi: "He is shy."
In fact, Xiaobao was not shy. He was shocked by the word "brother". Only then did he remember that in terms of age, he was half a year younger than Yue'er.
There is also his mother-in-law, whom he had never met in his previous life. Yue'er's mother died young. People say that marriage is about not marrying five people. The eldest daughter of a widowed woman cannot be married without any guidance. But Yue'er was a man of good character and handled things in an orderly manner. His father had chosen her for him after careful consideration.
He didn't expect Yue'er's mother to look so similar to Yue'er when she grew up. If he remembered correctly, Yue'er's mother died when she was three years old, but he thought his mother-in-law was weak, but it didn't look like she would have a short life...
"If the concubine is free, she can bring the young master to the Duke's mansion as a guest. I will sweep the couch to welcome him."
"sure."
After saying a few polite words, Mrs. Shizi left with Yueyue.
Yao Niang then lowered her head to look at Xiao Bao, "Why, what are you looking at?"
Xiaobao didn't speak.
King Jin asked: "He looks at the little girl." He had been watching from the side just now, and his son couldn't stop looking at the little girl.
Yao Niang looked at King Jin in surprise, then at Xiao Bao, and said angrily: "How old is he, how can he look at a little girl!"
The wheels turned and the carriage ran towards Prince Jin's Mansion. The sound of cars rumbled, and a clear moon appeared above our heads.
Chapter 144 (Catching Insects)
After watching the carriage leave from Prince Jin's Mansion, the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Qiao, returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with her daughter in her arms.
The crown prince, Sun Meng, took his daughter and asked her in a low voice: "But did you say thank you to the concubine of Prince Jin's palace?"
Sun Meng originally planned to go there in person, but then he thought about how the limelight was now at the forefront. In order not to cause trouble for the family, and not to add unnecessary suspicion to the other party, he asked his wife to take their daughter there. It's enough to express the meaning, I think King Jin should be able to understand.
He is now twenty-six years old. He was previously married to a man, but unfortunately the other woman was short-lived and died within a year of entering the marriage. Later, when Sun Meng went to Jiangnan for business, he met the Qiao family who was going to offer incense in the temple. He fell in love at first sight and ordered people to inquire about his life experience. The Qiao family was also one of the local wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. Although a merchant
female supporting role
His status is a bit lower, but Sun Mang himself has also suffered from rumors, so he doesn't limit himself to that.
Sun Meng returned to Beijing to convince his family and married Qiao with three matchmaking and six cards. Since getting married, the couple has been loving and harmonious, and they have given birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Sun Xin, is four years old, and the second daughter, Yueyue, is less than three years old.
Sun Meng was born tall, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and a resolute appearance. Qiao, on the other hand, is small and exquisite, with the soft and graceful temperament unique to Jiangnan women. At this time, Sun Meng was holding his daughter in one hand and protecting his wife in the other, walking towards a car behind him. Against the bright moon in the sky, it looked like a painting.
It's a pity that Mrs. Zhen Guo doesn't like her at all.
Sun Meng sent Qiao into the car, then got on his horse and led the way to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
In the car, Mrs. Zhenguo glanced at Yueyue with some disgust and said to Mrs. Qiao: "Girls, how dare you hit someone, even an emperor's grandson? I really don't think it's enough to bring trouble to the family." !”
Sitting in this car were not only Mrs. Zhenguo, Mrs. Qiao and Yueyue, but also Brother Xin. However, Brother Xin was outside before, and by the time he knew that a few children inside were fighting, the matter was over.
Mrs. Zhen Guo's disgust was so obvious that not only Mrs. Qiao lowered her head, but Yueyue also shrank in her mother's arms. Brother Xin was already sensible and wanted to explain to his sister, but he didn't speak. Grandma would scold her mother and sister harshly if she spoke, so she could only remain silent.
Feeling her daughter's fear, Mrs. Qiao touched her comfortingly and said to the Duke of Zhenguo: "My daughter-in-law will teach Yueyue well when she goes back. The child is still young and she is not sensible."
"She is ignorant, what do you do for food?!"
Brother Xin couldn't help it anymore and said: "Grandma, don't blame my sister. It was the young master from Prince Jin's Palace who took the initiative to fight with the young master from Prince Lu's Palace, and they were also doing it for Sister Zhuzhu from Prince Qing's Palace. It has nothing to do with my sister.”
"Brother Xin, don't explain to your mother and this girl. It's not that your mother didn't teach her well. If this happens again in the future, let her move to the main courtyard and I will teach her myself."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao subconsciously tightened the hand holding her daughter.
When the son was less than two years old, his mother-in-law persuaded him to leave him, saying that he would be raised by her and taught by her herself. After her daughter was born, her mother-in-law didn't mention it. She knew it was because Yueyue was a girl. If she had been a boy, she would have been taken away too.
Filial piety comes first. As a son, daughter-in-law, you should be filial to your elders. But Ms. Qiao knew that her mother-in-law wanted to take away her child, not because she loved the child, but because she did so on purpose.
She forced herself to endure the sadness in her heart and whispered, "Mom, my daughter-in-law will definitely teach Yueyue a lesson when she returns."
Mrs. Zhenguo snorted and said no more.
Soon after returning to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, Sun Meng first welcomed his father, Duke of Zhen, to dismount, and then his mother. After the two elders left, he went to his wife.
Seeing his wife's gloomy expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Mom said that if I don't teach Yueyue well again, I will take Yueyue to the main courtyard. Brother Xin has already gone to mother. If I really want Yueyue to go again, I..."
Sun Meng held his wife's hand and frowned: "Don't be afraid, I won't let my mother take Yueyue away again."
"Can……"
"Brother Xin is almost five years old. After he is born, I will move him to the front yard. I will go to Mom's place to talk to you. Don't worry."
Even after her husband said this, Mrs. Qiao could only nod her head with tears in her eyes.
The next day, Emperor Hongjing's imperial edict arrived at the Wang family.
When the news came out, everyone was shocked. What surprised everyone even more was that the Wang family actually accepted the order and took no other action. No matter how outsiders asked, the Wang family remained silent.
For a time, there were a lot of rumors in the capital, and most of them were talking about the fact that three daughters of the Wang family were about to marry into the royal family. If you were someone who didn't understand the situation, you would naturally admire that the Wang family was getting rich. For those who understand, various thoughts will inevitably arise.
Either it is that the Wang family is being coerced, or it is that the Wang family has made a really good bet, but it is extremely incomprehensible that the fiancée who was supposed to be the former Crown Prince Hui has now remarried me.
All in all, some rumors are particularly unpleasant to hear.
