Chapter 415: Deliberately making bad things
Wu's son is the prince of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and he will be the worst in the future to inherit the throne. In her eyes, her son is naturally the best, while Ma Shengping's wife and children have been in the border area. How good can the daughter raised in that place be?
She still remembers Rong Ma's vulgarity. With the appearance of the Ma family's daughter, wouldn't it be aggrieved her son when she got married? Thinking of this, she was not very willing.
When the fourth prince saw his wife's unwilling look, he immediately sneered, "If you care whether someone is beautiful or ugly, you can do it if you are useful..."
When Hao heard this, he immediately said, "Oh, you don't pick on women's appearance? Where did the bunch of women in the backyard come from?"
"Work a wife and a virtuous person, what do you compare yourself to those women? Can you compare yourself?" The fourth prince gave all the fallacies.
This was heard by Wu, and he finally felt a little better. He was a legitimate wife, and compared with his concubine, he was a self-deprecating status. This time, she finally liked her husband a little. At this time, she thought that if the big things were accomplished in the future, her son's identity would naturally be different. What kind of beauty would not be enough to marry, and she did not have to give up the vulgar daughter of the Ma family.
So he finally reluctantly agreed to her husband's proposal.
The couple reached an agreement on this matter, and the fourth prince began to ask Ma Shengping for trouble. However, Ma Shengping heard what he had revealed and said directly, "The little girl has already agreed to marry."
After Rong Ma's unhappy marriage, he made up his mind not to let his daughter follow Rong Ma's footsteps, so he didn't plan to use his daughter as a marriage tool at all. Moreover, he didn't like someone like the Fourth Prince who was eager to do business.
After drinking two glasses of water and wine with him, he made an excuse to escape first. Ma Shengping knew very well what the emperor intended to use, but to use high officials and generous salaries to keep him in the capital to restrain his father in the border areas, so he had no intention of getting involved in the battle for the throne.
I didn't know that I met Zhao Yu and Rong Jingqiu shortly after I came out. When the two men met, they couldn't pretend not to know each other, so he had to nod.
He was dissatisfied with the Rong family, but his sister said that she was well-cared for Rong Jingqiu in Rong Mansion in the capital, so she had a very good impression of Rong Jingqiu.
Zhao Yu did not mean to win over Ma Shengping, but just said hello very casually.
The two sides passed by, and there seemed to be nothing wrong. It was just a chance meeting. However, in the eyes of the Fourth Prince who fell in the box, he felt something was wrong. His face darkened. The Ma family refused to win him over. In this way, it could not be used by him, and he could not be allowed to be used by Zhao Yu.
Rong Jingqiu said goodbye to Zhong Yi, Zhao Yu helped him get onto the carriage, and then accidentally saw the carriage from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so he pointed to Zhao Yu and said, "It seems that the Fourth Prince was hosting Ma Shengping tonight."
"In line with his usual style." Zhao Yu said coldly. Now that the prince is dismissed, the second and third brothers in front are limited in ability, so the fourth brothers will naturally jump up.
Rong Jingqiu's understanding of the fourth prince is the image of a villain, so there is nothing that a villain cannot do. After pondering for a while, he said, "In my opinion, we should be careful of the fourth prince's misfortune."
"One day he doesn't do anything bad, the sun will rise from the west." Zhao Yu teased.
Rong Jingqiu had a heavy expression, "You can't underestimate him. As the saying goes, you'd rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain. The Fourth Prince is a typical representative, let alone our in-laws with the Ma family, so he will be even more afraid."
Zhao Yu held her hand tightly and squeezed it gently, "Don't worry, I will worry about these things."
A woman is the most harmful to her vitality when she is pregnant and giving birth. Until now, Rong Jingqiu's body has not fully recovered, so he does not want her to worry about these trivial matters. Anyway, the emperor's body cannot collapse within a few years, so the small movements that can be done now are limited.
Rong Jingqiu leaned her head on his shoulder, and her heart was sweeter than eating candy.
But after two days of such a peaceful life, there was news in the palace that the tenth prince was going to choose a concubine, and the tenth prince's concubine was Ma Shengping's concubine.
When Rong Jingqiu received the news, she was changing her son's diapers. Seeing Princess Qinglan's anxious face, she was stunned at first, and finally she just said "Oh" softly.
"Why don't you seem to be surprised at all?" Princess Qinglan frowned.
This news is not good for Zhao Yu. Originally, there was a marriage relationship between the Ma family and the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but if the Ma family's concubine became the Tenth Prince's concubine, the situation would be different.
Rong Jingqiu calmly held her son who had changed into a new diaper in her arms. She had a premonition that the Fourth Prince would definitely move, but she didn't expect him to do this. But then again, even without this move, the Ma family would not get involved in the battle for the throne.
"The Ma family has always been very clear about its positioning. If his concubine daughter was really elected as the Tenth Prince's concubine, it would not have any impact on the situation." She analyzed softly, "The tenth prince's biological mother is not revealed, and he himself has no foundation in the court. If he really married the Ma family's daughter, he would be afraid that the tenth prince would be floating up. This is not a good marriage for the Ma family."
Just as Rong Jingqiu guessed, after Ma Shengping learned about this, his face was gloomy all day long and he had no favoritism for the Fourth Prince.
However, after he calmed down, Fei Ge immediately passed a letter to his father.
When Rong Ma heard her mother mentioning that her concubine's sister was going to marry the tenth prince, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She lived in the capital and knew that the struggle between the princes was very fierce. Now that the prince has been deposed, the Ma family is already in the limelight. Now that she marrys the royal family, wouldn't it be a big deal to send the Ma family to the forefront?
"Mom, this is not a good thing." She shook her head and said.
Rong Ma's mother sighed, "Your father said the same thing last night, not to mention that you know that your aunt has always been arrogant and stupid, and the daughter she raised is almost the same as her. I am still worried when I send her to the capital to be the Tenth Prince's Concubine."
How could she not know how much her concubine's daughter is? But her appearance is indeed good. After all, her husband was attracted to the beauty of her concubine and then took it into the mansion. The children she gave birth to are naturally not bad in appearance.
However, the emperor's actions were very fast, and the imperial edict quickly reached the northwest. General Ma received the imperial edict, but he had no choice but to helplessly prepare to send his daughter to the capital to get married.
When Rong Ma's concubine heard that she was elected as the Tenth Prince's concubine, she couldn't help but feel happy. She had always been jealous of her legitimate sister who could marry into the capital. Now her status is higher than her, and she can finally be proud. So she discussed with her own mother and took this opportunity to get more dowry.
In addition to this, she also deliberately showed off her face, "Don't your sister congratulate me?"
Seeing this polite girl's arrogant look, Rong Ma really didn't want to be as good as her, so she said "congratulations" without sincerity, and then passed her and was about to leave.
But this foul sister stepped forward and blocked Rong Ma's way. "I heard that my brother-in-law has a beloved concubine and a sister in the capital. Do you want your sister to help you?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more excessive, Rong Ma sneered, "I think you should ask for more blessings first. Do you think you can turn over by marrying the tenth prince? You are innocent."
The circle of ladies in the capital will not accept you, even if you are the Tenth Prince's Concubine, it is useless. She has personally experienced the rejection of those circles and knows that those people laugh at her vulgarity behind their backs. This is not only a ridicule of her appearance, but also a regional discrimination. I am afraid that this gangster girl will have no place to cry at that time.
Besides, the tenth prince is unknown in the capital, and he has a capable brother above him. The possibility of the throne being turned is almost zero. When his prince's concubine is not as beautiful as she imagined, she will know when the concubine's sister gets married.
"What do you mean?" The gangster girl immediately glared, "Are you cursing me? I want to tell my father to go."
"Go even." Rong Ma's hands spread out.
Her marriage was not going well. Her father, who had never been favored before, now feels guilty towards her. No matter how much the concubine's sister makes trouble, her father will not blame her. He will only think that she is in a bad mood and let this concubine give in to her more. Anyway, she will not be the one who will be angry at that time.
The Rong Ma sister saw the legitimate sister leaving like this, and she was so angry that she stamped her feet. Sooner or later, she would step on her legitimate sister under her feet, otherwise she would not be able to relieve her hatred.
Rong Ma walked out of the gangster's sight and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he see Rong Hong standing in this corner at some time. Seeing his frowning brows, it seemed that he had heard a lot of conversations between their sisters.
"You don't have to take the right seat, my sissy girl is just like this, it has nothing to do with you." She raised her chin slightly and said.
Although Rong Hong knew that Rong Ma would definitely be criticized behind his back, he felt quite uncomfortable when he heard it with his own ears, because after in-depth contact and understanding, his prejudice against Rong Ma had completely disappeared, especially witnessing the toughness of women in this world. Rong Ma's like this are rare.
"After all, I'm sorry for you." He said in a low mood. Even if he wanted to live a good life with her now, he didn't know how to speak, because he didn't seem to have this idea when Rong Ma said that.
He couldn't guess what Rong Ma was thinking, so the relationship between the two could only continue like this.
Rong Ma doesn't like to discuss this topic. She thought of taking the opportunity to divorce Rong Hong, but what about after the divorce? She couldn't stay in her parents' home forever. Especially when she saw the concubine's sister being arranged to have a marriage, she knew that now was not a good time to restore her freedom, so she could only waste her time with Rong Hong like this, and with his wife's name, at least she could do something she liked.
"Why are you here today?" She changed the subject.
Rong Hong glanced at her and then said, "If you have something to do, come to discuss with General Ma."
He called General Ma his father-in-law before, but he almost got his sword and was stabbed by this hot-tempered father-in-law with a big knife. So he learned his lesson and only called him a title in the officialdom. He knew in his heart that his previous actions made the Ma family completely dislike him, so he did not gild himself on his face.
Seeing that he looked bad, Rong Ma knew that there would be no good results in discussing with his father. Just like the Rong family made things difficult for her back then, her family also liked to make things difficult for Rong Hong, "What are you going to discuss? Tell me, and I will talk to my father when I go back."
Rong Hong refused. He wanted to do something based on his own ability, rather than relying on Rong Ma's nepotism in everything, which would make the Yue family look down on him even more.
Rong Ma was surprised. Is Rong Hong's sexual intercourse? He was not like this before, especially when he first came to the northwest, he had to use her name to open up the situation.
"I really don't want me to help?"
Rong Hong still shook his head. He also wanted to earn some face for her, at least not let her be ridiculed by the untreated women of her parents' family.
Rong Ma thought she might have to reexamine Rong Hong. Now Rong Hong is no longer a white-faced scholar, but has become much stronger. Obviously, he is trying to integrate into the people of the northwest, and it looks much more pleasing to the eyes than when he was in the capital.
Regardless of whether the Ma family wanted to do so or not, the Rong Ma family's concubine still set off to the capital immediately.
When the weather in the capital became hot, a Zen room in a nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing caught fire. Unfortunately, the concubine who deposed the prince and became a monk was killed in the sea of fire. This could not cause any splash in the capital. After all, the topic of deposed the prince was a thing of the past. Who cares about whether his concubine who became a monk died or lived? Those who knows that the woman could only sigh and say that the woman was not in good luck.
When Rong Fu found out, she fainted on the spot. She always regarded Rong Jingji as an opportunity for the Fu family to rise. But she didn't know that she had become a monk. Even if she became a monk, the prince no longer exists now. Now even Rong Jingji herself is gone. She was desperate and fell ill immediately.
As Rong Jingqiu, as Rong Jingji's sister, naturally took care of the funeral. Because the deposed prince gave Rong Jingji a divorce letter, Rong Jingji was buried in the Rong family's ancestral grave. As his father, Rong Cheng was even more sad and shed tears in front of others several times.
At the same time, the distant cousin of the Rong family entered the mansion. The girl looked very much like Rong Jingji, which immediately comforted Rong Fu's mood, and even clamored to remember the girl in Rong Cheng's name to replace Rong Jingji.
In the end, out of filial piety, Rong Cheng had to adopt the girl named Rong Yiji to himself and Rong Jin's name and formally adopted her as her adopted daughter. The treatment was just like the legitimate daughter in the mansion, without any big or small eyes.
Rong Fu was ill, and Rong Jingqiu went back to her parents' home on the grounds of visiting her, but in fact she wanted to meet Rong Yiji.
"Sister Six, are you still used to this new name?" She asked softly as the two sat down to have tea.
Rong Yiji, that is, Rong Jingji, shook his head slightly, "The name is just a code name. What does it matter if my name is, after all, I am still me."
When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she felt that the experience of becoming a monk might be a bad thing. Why does this sound so Zen? So she moved out Rong Lu's marriage to arouse the other party's secular heart. "In a few days, I will invite Brother Lu's fiancée to come to the house to play. At that time, I'm afraid I'll ask my sixth sister to entertain him."
When Rong Yiji heard this, his face was filled with joy, "Which day has it been decided?"
"It's not decided yet, can you see which day is right?"
Rong Yiji was busy checking the days. Rong Jingqiu felt a little relieved when she saw that she had such a life-like atmosphere, but she still told Rong Lu about this in private.
Rong Lu immediately said, "Don't worry, third sister. I often go to talk to my sister, and I will definitely not let her really have the idea of becoming a monk." After a pause, he scratched his head and said, "If I see a young talent with the right conditions, can I introduce it to my sister?"
