Chapter 17
The Rong family sisters headed to the Duke of Chang’s family’s table together, Rong Xiangwen sat next to Rong Xiangyu and touched her growing belly, “Second sister, we won this for our nephew. One more gilt tiger carriage and they won’t fight over this!”
Mrs. Chang Guo Gong on the side pulled Liu who just came over and boasted: “My biggest regret in my life is that I didn’t give birth to a daughter, looking at these flower-like girls in your family, this look and demeanor, I’m really envious of them.”
Liu’s biggest regret in her life is not having a son, but there are always people who talk like this lady, she can only put on a smile every time, and curse in her heart. Several daughters know what is on their mother’s mind, and they don’t answer. Rong Xiang Gu is even more inconvenient to answer, the scene once into embarrassment.
Rong Xiang Gu had no choice but to say, “Madam, you have already abducted all the best girls of our Rong family to your house, why don’t you know enough?”
“Haha, you little thing, come to tease me again!” In order to marry Xiangyu back home, Mrs. Chang Guo Gong did put in a lot of effort, this daughter-in-law is good-tempered and talented, and the couple’s relationship is also good, which is exactly what Mrs. Guo Gong is pleased with. This word is to praise their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law two people.
Liu’s smiling, can not help but sigh: Xiangzhi anything is good, is to let her learn to speak to each other.
Everyone sat and joked for a while. Rong Xiangxin early can not stay, is looking around, such as seeing what a great, pointing to the front: “Who is that? How kneeling in front of the Empress Mother, hair are torn?”
Lady Duke of Changguo recognized at once: “That’s the wife of Zhongyongbu Dong family, what’s going on here?”
“Most likely she has offended the Empress. She has always acted and spoken wildly, not knowing how to restrain herself. Recently on the basis of Zhongyong Bu was praised by the emperor, more and more complacent.” The Duke of England’s wife hadn’t heard Lady Dong’s gossip about her before, and was so pleased to see her make a fool of herself in public at this moment.
Xiang Wen immediately got up and wanted to fly off to watch the fun, but was stopped by Long’s hand: “Little children, what’s the point of being so lively.”
As they were talking, a team of guards went up to the Moonwatch Terrace and directly dragged the Dong family away en masse.
Now, the nobles who were previously sitting still one by one got up to watch.
Some well-informed, have already heard the inside story: the Dong family for the use of nanzhu round diameter over the system, than the tribute to the Empress is even larger, committing the crime of great disrespect, was driven out of the East Garden Stadium. All the people present were talking, with the nature of Empress Zhang, I am afraid that it will not be so simple.
Rong Xiangmian was too lazy to look at the Dong family’s foreign appearance, just as Rong Xiangyu pulled her and said, “The Imperial Doctor told me to walk around more, so that I can give birth in the future, so you accompany me.”
The two sisters took their maids of honor and descended to the Moon Watch Terrace. There was a garden at the back, in which there were some ladies who didn’t like polo, enjoying the flowers and arranging them.
When they saw them, they all greeted each other and went about their own business.
The second sister called Xiangmian here because she was worried about her marriage. Rong Xiangmian told her not to think too much during her pregnancy, and that she could live no matter what.
“Live?” Second sister is surprised, “Xiangmian, is that all you have to hope for in the future, to survive?”
Rong Xiangmian smiled in embarrassment.
The second sister touched her face painfully, “I know that you lost your mother when you were young, and were sent to the palace early, so you never like to bother us, and you carry everything yourself. However, you have to know that we are always a family, and the Duke of England’s House is your backbone. If you are wronged in the future, don’t just hold back. In this world, the child that cries has milk to eat, if you are too understanding, others will not think you are good, but will instead be content to let you suffer more.”
Rong Xiangxian had never heard his sister say these heartfelt words, his heart was touched: “I know.”
“Also, the things that should be yours, the people that should be yours, you have to fight for them too, don’t just wait!”
“Hmm?” Rong Xiangmian was a bit puzzled, Rong Xiangyu couldn’t care about anything else, and told her what her mother-in-law had heard from the palace, the rumor that the British Duke’s House wanted to marry the first daughter.
Rong Xiangmian’s heart went cold, she never thought she would be a side consort under her own sister’s hand. At first, her third sister pretended to jump into the lake, forcing her father to go to the Eldest Princess’s residence to talk about marriage, so that she could marry in Yangzhou instead. Now that King Yu was in power, they wanted to step on her head again?
She is completely disappointed and chilled.
Rong Xiangyu put herself in her shoes and knew how hard it was in her fourth sister’s heart right now. She knew there was nothing she could do to resolve the situation, but she didn’t want to leave her sister in the dark.
She held Xiangmian’s hand tightly: ”The two of us were not blessed to be born in our mother’s womb, but we grew up just like Xiangzhi, and there is no difference in our food and clothing. Outside, we are also both girls from the State Duke’s House, and now that the family has revitalized, who would dare to look down on us? But once you and she are married off to the royal family and become side chambers, you’ll really be short for the rest of your life. This marriage, originally they didn’t want it, now that Yu Wang has gained power and is coming back to rob …… me I’m really not fair for you!”
The Dong family’s storm soon subsided, announced the next lottery, is the Empress personally rewarded the tired silk standing phoenix gold hairpin.
Because this lottery is the most expensive in the whole field, the family also wants more, so the provisions of the competition can have ten teams, each team of two people.
A man and a woman, not allowed to invite experts to play on behalf of the people who compete for the head of the lottery must be in person, the woman can be replaced by her son-in-law.
This is also the past reservation program, to give young men and women to recognize the opportunity to see each other.
There were already palace men going to each house to explain the rules, and one of the palace men made a point of flattering Rong Xiangzhi: “The Rong family’s girl, in terms of appearance, is not even comparable to the capital’s thousands of golds, in terms of polo is better than the men, so good hairpin, it would be a pity if another family got it.”
Rong Xiangzhi immediately fell in love with it, and pulled his elder brother to say that he wanted this gold hairpin. Rong Xianggu took a look at the young prince of Marquis Yong’an, the niece and nephew of the Empress Dowager, who had already gone down to lead the horses, and didn’t want to compete with him. Then said: “our family just down the field, and now together, not too good. You like it, big brother will buy you a good one!”
“No! How can it be the same when it’s a reward from the Empress Mother?”
Sister-in-law Gu Frost suggested a compromise: “Sang-ho can go and help my sister find a familiar male from another family to help.”
