Chapter 137
It really made Xiang Wen’s words come true.
During the banquet, everyone gossiped and naturally brought up the recent news of the Li family and Wu family finally making up. Slowly, they talked about the fact that King Yu summoned the dancing girls from the Descending Cloud Garden to perform in the garden.
Especially Wu Sui-ying, who has been inquiring about Yü Wang’s residence since he entered the capital, hears that Yü Wang loves his wife so much that he built a polo field for her because she loves to play polo. When the princess wanted to have a late-night snack, he rode back to the city from the Jing Yi Yuan in the middle of the night to order food from the Man Heng Restaurant. When the princess is sick, the king sends her to see the doctor in the rain. She thought that Yü Wang was obedient to his wife, but now she thinks it’s just like that, and she can’t get hold of Yü Wang’s heart so quickly.
At this moment, in front of me, of course, I can’t help but poke and prod.
Rong Xiangmian thought to himself, “It’s not just watching a dance, but the Queen has made it known to the whole city.
However, this was exactly the effect they wanted.
She deliberately tried to explain: “His Highness has only been to the Descending Cloud Cloister once, and saw that the dance was really wonderful, and then invited into the garden to perform.”
“Although we women are virtuous and gentle, it is also a woman’s duty to protect her husband’s reputation.” Lady Marquis Yongan advises Rong Xiangmian as a senior, and looks aside, “Sui-Ying, in the future, when you go to the royal residence, you should know how to share the worries of Consort Yuh, advise His Highness, and behave in a courteous manner.”
Wu Suying nods her head and smiles, “Thank you, Madam Marquis for your guidance, Suying will definitely take the reputation of the Yuhang Mansion as the first priority in the future.”
Rong Xiangwen looked at her coldly, not waiting for Xiangmian to open her mouth, she snatched: “I’m going to tell fourth brother-in-law that someone who hasn’t even gotten married is going to take care of him!”
That tone, seems to be very gloating, Wu Sui-ying is afraid that this word will reach Yu Wang’s ears, immediately restrain his words.
After the banquet, the male guests are watching the popular fighting show in the army, and the female family members are still touring the garden of the Duke of Chang’s residence. Rong Xiangwen, the little skinflint, naturally had to go for a stroll.
Knowing that her little girl has always been afraid to control her, Rong Xiangwen told Feiyun to accompany her and watch her a bit.
She stayed in the room with her sister-in-law and second sister to talk.
Rong Xiangwen since the behavior of bold and open-minded, in the outside world still pretend, now is his second sister in-laws, more not polite.
Looked at the lozenges in the lake, to go down to pick. Feiyun can not pull her, directly follow her down.
Took off her shoes, went down to the lake, and when she finally reached the diamond flower, suddenly heard the sound of two women talking on the bridge.
“Sister, I see that Consort Yuh is a soft natured person, much better than Consort Yun’s temper. In the future, your days in the Yü Wang Fu must be much better than mine.”
“Although the Yuhuang Mansion is prominent, being a concubine is always inferior. Mother has been a concubine for her entire life, if she knows that we are going to the capital and enter the royal residence as a side consort, will she be very sad?”
“That’s the king’s mansion, can ordinary people’s maidens compare? Besides, if sister can capture Yü Wang’s heart in one fell swoop and have another son, she may not be inferior. It’s only been a few months since that Yuhang Princess married over, and she can’t capture Yuhang’s heart.”
“That’s true, identity is one thing, wrist is one thing, and husband’s favor is another. I originally thought that the daughter of the Duke of State’s residence, the Qinghe County Lord, was something remarkable, but it turns out that she’s just an embroidered pillow that’s not useful to look at.”
“Sister is lucky, her birth mother is even more humble than our mother, it is not impossible for sister to replace her in the future. When we gain a firm foothold in the royal residence, one day the scenery will go back to my mother’s home to visit my family, not to mention madam, even father will have to be respectful to us. At that time mother at home, will not have to suffer so much aggravation ……”
“Thinking is beautiful!”
A rebuke with an echoing sound came from the foot, without any sign at all.
The Wu family sisters were busy stopping their mouths, knowing that the words they had just spoken had been overheard. As they were looking around for where the voice had come from, they suddenly saw a young girl walk out from under the bridge and barefoot up the embankment.
When she approached and realized that it was Rong Xiangwen, the Wu sisters were all shocked.
Rong Xiangwen’s brows knit tightly, scolded in a stern voice: “What kind of things are you! How dare you come here to talk about my sister and her mother. You haven’t even gotten married yet, and you want to replace her, go dream in the spring and fall!”
Wu Suying didn’t want her to hear what she had just said, but she was afraid that she would say something, so she had to be kind: “Say goodbye to the Rong family’s Sixth Miss.”
“Don’t come this way!” Rong Xiangwen hummed.
Wu Suiying said to himself, “My father was under Great General Rong’s command for three years, and to this day I don’t dare to forget the Great General’s teachings, and it’s a blessing to be able to see the Sixth Miss today.”
“You don’t need to get close to me,” Rong Xiangwen told Feiyun, “Go find Lady Marquis Yong’an and see where she is. I’d like to go and ask for advice, what kind of people are they sending to my sister’s brother-in-law? It’s not to harm my sister’s brother-in-law, is it!”
Feiyun stood without moving, but Wu Suiying and Wu Suifang were scared out of their wits, no longer able to impose composure.
The two of them even knelt down to Rong Xiangwen in public, “I beg the Rong family girl to spare my life.”
Rong Xiangwen snorted, “What? Will you die if you can’t marry into the Yuhang Mansion? Or are all the men in the world dead?”
The two sisters saw that Rong Xiangwen was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted one, and immediately tugged on her skirt.
One said, “Miss, both of us were sent to the capital by our father to please Marquis Yongan. If something goes wrong, our mother won’t be able to live in the future.”
The other said, “My mother has been bullied and humiliated at home and is counting on the future of our sisters. I beg Miss Rong to be gracious and spare our lives, and we will certainly set up a tablet of immortality for you and pray for you day after day!”
Rong Xiang Wen gasped, “For the sake of your mother, your future, you are going to come and harm my sister, what kind of reasoning is this?”
“I don’t dare!” Wu Suying immediately shed a few tears and begged bitterly, “Wangfei is the daughter of the Duke of State, and a county princess bestowed by His Majesty’s own decree, how would I dare to disrespect Wangfei. I just, want to be able to have a place in the royal residence is enough. Please, Sixth Miss, don’t tell Lady Marquis Yongan!”
At this time, some other guests in the garden looked at the situation from afar and came this way.
Feiyun reminded behind her, “Don’t waste time with them and fall for the truth, go find the girl.”
Rong Xiangxin immediately chopped his feet, “You guys get up, lest you let people come and ask, I can really say it.”
The Wu sisters immediately got up, gathered themselves and looked at Rong Xiangwen pitifully.
The little girl sighed, “I know you all have hardships, who in this world doesn’t have hardships? It’s right to want to earn a good future, but if you have evil thoughts, even if you earn glory and wealth, I’m afraid that your mothers will not be able to rest easy in their hearts.”
“Yes, many thanks to Sixth Miss for her teaching.”
Rong Xiangwen is young, since childhood was spoiled by his widowed mother and eldest uncle’s family, ultimately is simple, first time encountered this kind of backyard fighting matter, don’t know how to deal with it, so listen to Feiyun’s advice, go to find Rong Xiangmian.
On this side, Rong Xiangmian was asking his sister-in-law what the result of Dr. Sun’s visit was, and urged her to take her medication on time.
Gu Frost smiled and said, ”It is said that Dr. Sun is a sage, and I don’t know if there will be any news this year. If there’s no more, I reckon that not to mention mother, even father-sama will be anxious.”
Rong Xiangyu again took the health prescriptions he had used to her and advised her to relax, the more anxious she was, the harder it would be to get news.
While the family was quietly chatting in private, Rong Xiang Wen shouted loudly outside the door, “Is fourth sister here?”
Rong Xiangwen answered before the maid outside opened the door and let her in.
“What are you guys doing behind my back? Secretive.”
Rong Xiangxian first went to sniff the milky, creamy Hui Sister before running to her sister and sister-in-law.
“Where did you go again? This skirt is wet and covered in dirt.” Xiangmian glanced at Feiyun, and she immediately said in aggravation, “Sixth girl went down to the river to pick diamond blossoms, and the slave girl couldn’t stop her.”
“Sister, don’t blame her, if I hadn’t gone down the river to pick flowers I wouldn’t have had the chance to tell you a story.”
All three were curious, what story?
Rong Xiang Wen immediately told them what she had just seen under the bridge.
Rong Xiangyu exploded upon hearing it, “Hmph, not even in the Yuhang Mansion yet, she’s so ambitious, in the future when she’s really a side consort, I don’t know how she’s going to scheme against you!”
Gu Frost, however, said, “Now that I know what kind of person she is, I will also know how to guard against it in the future.”
“What else is there to guard against? Directly tell the Empress that this kind of woman with an evil mind will never be allowed to enter the Yuhang Mansion’s door!”
Rong Xiangxian heard the ins and outs and was somewhat glad that Rong Xiangxian did not make a big deal out of it.
She said, “The Empress has her heart set on stuffing people into the king’s mansion, after dispatching this one, I don’t know what the next one will be like. I have to think about it.”
Rong Xiangyu was worried, “Then you must make it clear to King Yu, this woman is not a good person, I’m afraid that you will suffer in her hands in the future.”
Gu Frost, however, laughed, “This kind of thing they men don’t think to take to heart, instead they will enjoy themselves because there are women who are jealous for them.”
Xiangmian was well aware of this. But she couldn’t imagine what Zhou Xian Yang’s mindset was when there were two women in the mansion fighting over their jealousy. The Wu family girl hadn’t entered the house, so she was not in a position to hastily dispose of the matter, and it was still up to him.
She said, “Sister-in-law and second sister don’t worry, I will deal with it carefully.”
When the guests were dispersed, the carriages and horses in front of the Duke of Chang’s residence came and went.
Second sister’s husband had long since made it known that the Princess did not allow Yu Wang to eat wine. Xiao Bei said, “I didn’t want to say anything.”
Rong Xiangxian also guessed what was going on and could only stiffly accept the greetings of various unconventional military generals.
General Qi said, “Don’t worry, Consort Yu, we all know what we’re doing, His Highness Yu has just recovered from his injuries, and we definitely didn’t fill His Highness Yu with wine just now.”
Shi Wei follows, “Yes, yes, yes, yes, and specifically picked a place far away from His Highness when he went down to compete, without hurting a single hair on His Highness’ head.”
Zhou Xian Yang was on the side, gloating as he watched the crown princess laugh awkwardly and say goodbye to wave after wave of people.
At this time, the Wu Suiying sisters were following Lady Marquis Yong’an and were also preparing to leave.
Mrs. Marquis Yong’an made a point of exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Xian Yang.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this is a deliberate attempt to let Yup King have a look first.
Wu Sui Ying meets Yuhang for the first time today and realizes that the rumors are true, Yuhang is handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor. The Empress treats herself well, and she can marry such a husband, which her father would never be able to do. They make up their minds to serve the Empress well and repay her for her kindness.
Because the heart is afraid of Rong Xiangmian, but also because of the large number of people coming and going, she only in the lady behind the salute.
Xiangmian watched coldly from the sidelines and simply introduced, “Your Highness, these are the two girls from the Wu family.”
Wu Suiying immediately raised her head and glanced at King Yu with affection.
Zhou Xian Yang sized up the two sisters, “The Wu family girls, they are truly beautiful.”
Lady Marquis Yong’an laughed, “The Empress Mother’s favorite for His Highness is naturally not wrong. Not only do they have excellent looks, they are also proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting.”
“It’s really rare to have such talent from a military general’s family.” Zhou Xian Yang praised some more, and then he caught a glimpse of Wangfei at the side, smiling but not laughing, and smiled in his heart, and hurriedly took her hand, “It’s too bad that such a good-looking girl is promised to our brothers as a side consort. Your Highness, why don’t you arrange a match for them?”
