Prince Yu Fujin said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to entertain guests now. Many things in the house have not been settled. What's more, this is the elder brother's house. If the fourth elder brother doesn't send out the invitation, others won't dare to visit at will. You can rest assured and keep the things at home.
Let's take care of things, wait until everything is in order, and follow the rules of the people below, and then it won't be too late to invite guests and have a banquet."
Yuxi promised: "I have remembered what my aunt said." He asked the servants to serve refreshments and asked the two of them to have a rest. But the two of them did not want to stay for a long time, saying that she was busy here and it would be inconvenient for Yuxi for them to come as guests after a while.
He persuaded Lan Ying to stay and sent the two elders out in person. On the way, he asked Lan Ying with a smile when she would give birth. Hearing that it was July and August, Prince Yu Fujin said casually: "Fujin, the son of Yuqing Palace, was also born at that time."
Yuxi's heart trembled when she heard this, and she remembered what happened to Wen Fujin. She had never seen Wen Fujin again since their farewell in Ningshou Palace. Later, after the two of them left in a sedan chair, they just came back when Aunt Qinglian came to invite them.
Fujin ascended his seat in the main hall and said that Fujin and Song Gege were coming to pay their respects.
"Didn't you see the ceremony first?" Yuxi seemed reluctant.
"There are foreign guests here just now, so they can't be counted." Qinglian supported Fujin and took her to the seat in the main hall. The girl below came to place the futon. She said with a smile, "This is the honor of the matron of your family. They are
Concubines cannot be called masters in front of you. You must follow the rules from the moment you enter the house. One is to warn them, and the other is to ask the people below to take a look."
Yuxi no longer forced himself, and calmly waited in the seat. Seeing Li Fujin walking in slowly, he knelt on the futon and kowtowed. Qinglian winked at Fujin, and Yuxi said something polite and polite.
After saying this, Li Fujin stood up and sat on one side. Then Song Gege came in, paid homage to Fujin, saluted Fujin again, and then knelt down in the center of the hall to listen to the lecture.
Yu Xi still said the same words, but she thought about how she had said a few serious words to Mrs. Song when she left the palace. Now she saw fear on her face and a cautious look on her face, thinking that she might also adopt this attitude in the future.
When she went to act coquettishly and expressed grievances to Yinzhen, she was suddenly upset. But she was a smart person and well-educated. How could she say sour words to a humble concubine, so she didn't mention a word and let her
Got up.
After that, the maids and girls in the palace, the eunuchs brought out from the palace, and the servants came to pay their respects. Except for those who came out with the palace, everyone else was arranged by Ying Fujin, sent by Empress Dowager De, who can be trusted or not.
It will take time to realize that you should use it now, and keep the good ones and replace the bad ones later. It is important that people in the house must not have extraneous intentions and serve the master loyally.
Yuxi saw that there were all servants and maids at home, and Qinglian and the wet nurse who were serving the fourth elder brother came with them. He thought of the wet nurse in his own family. He had promised her to work in his elder brother's house in the future, but her mother's family naturally turned to her.
If she comes, Qinglian and Fourth Brother's wet nurse will feel that they don't trust them, and it's not the right time to rush in and they should wait.
She didn't mention this matter. After two years in the palace, the people who accompanied her were already very familiar with it and used it easily, but no one had any selfish intentions. In the end, these people were all for Concubine De, and Yu
There is always something Xi doesn't want her mother-in-law to know. Now that she has left the palace, she hopes that the people around her can focus solely on herself.
The main courtyard of the mansion is where Yuxi and Yinzhen live. Her bedroom is a suite with three entrances. The innermost is the sleeping place. It is much more spacious than the residence of her elder brother in the palace. It is the real head of the family of Prince Fujin. Mother's dignity. Fujin lives in Xiyuan, and Song Gege lives in a side room behind Xiyuan. They are not qualified to live in the main house, and Song Gege can't even live in the main yard. She is only better than the servants in this house. A little bit taller. If Brother Si takes a few girls as concubines in the future, she will be a little bit taller than those people. Fu Jin can still be considered half a master. She is just a concubine with a good reputation. To put it bluntly, He's still half a slave.
But this Song Gege is now very popular in front of the fourth elder brother. Everyone in the palace knows the situation in the palace before the masters come in. Since entering the house in February, the fourth elder brother has been very fond of this Song Gege, and they are well-informed. , even knowing that Si Age and Fujin were not very happy, and they were all very discerning people. They did not dare to be blindly attentive in front of Si Fujin, and turned their backs on others. The few people serving Song Gege were very fond of her. Respectful, which made Mrs. Song feel a little proud.
At this time, the fourth elder brother had just left Qianqing Palace. The third elder brother told him that he would go to the palace for a drink later. The fourth elder brother said that everything at home still needs to be taken care of. When everything is done properly, he would invite the brothers to have fun. That's it. After bidding farewell to Third Elder Brother, he went to the inner palace and then to Yonghe Palace.
When the fourth brother came, it was lunch time, and the people who had just said goodbye in the morning came back again. Wen Xian and Wen Chen were eating with E Niang. When they saw the fourth brother coming, the two sisters immediately came over and said, "When will the fourth brother bring you?" Let’s go hang out in the house.”
Yinzhen scolded: "How can the princess leave the palace casually? E Niang agrees, so of course I won't stop her."
The two sisters had already hit a wall with E Niang and did not dare to pester Lan Qi. After sitting down and eating a few mouthfuls, their interest waned. Lan Qi knew that Yinzhen came to have something to say, so she sent the two girls to have fun on their own. , I summoned Huanchun to fry another plate of tender bamboo shoots for Brother Si, and said with a smile: "I just sent it to the palace early in the morning, so I didn't have time to ask you to take some home."
Yinzhen smiled and said no, while picking up a few chopsticks to taste the leftovers from his mother and sister, then gulping down the rice. Lan Qi gently advised him to eat slowly, and waited until he put down his chopsticks before saying: "Did you come here because you were hungry? Otherwise, why don't you go home and eat? Yuxi might wait for you to come back for dinner."
Yinzhen said: "I have sent someone to reply and told them not to wait. They will not go back until noon."
"You were like this on the first day, and so is your Majesty. If I have something to do, I have to choose today to tell you." Lan Qi seemed to be angry but not angry, and said with a smile on her face, "After finishing the errands, go back early. Since you have left After leaving the palace, it is not easy to go to the inner palace in the future, so don't break the rules. When I miss you, I will naturally send someone to find you."
Yinzhen smiled and said: "Then my son misses his mother?"
Lan Qi glanced at him with a smile, and saw that her son was eating in a hurry and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. He reached out and took the silk to wipe it gently, and said softly: "You have wives and concubines, so you can't pester your mother. It's not easy to pester your mother." You, otherwise even if they don't complain, my mother won't be able to bear it. I'll be satisfied knowing that you remember me."
Yinzhen pursed his lips, obviously he had something to say but couldn't say it. In fact, he had been waiting for his mother to ask about him and Yuxi, but his mother didn't mention a word, and looking at that scene, Yuxi definitely didn't either. He complained to his mother-in-law and now that they have moved out, he really didn't want to continue to be in trouble with Yuxi. Today he decided to come to his mother to ask for help. He thought that if he came alone, E Niang would be able to say something to teach him, but E Niang still didn't mention it.
Lan Qi drank another half of the bowl of soup, while Huan Chun quickly brought the freshly fried bamboo shoots. She asked Yinzhen to add some more. Her son picked up the chopsticks, then suddenly put them down again, and said with a downcast face:
"Mother, you really don't want to ask me?"
Lan Qi smiled: "What am I asking you?" But seeing the guilty look on her son's face, she understood in her heart, but she still kept silent.
Yinzhen was a little anxious and said it all at once, saying: "Even if she is jealous and loses her temper, she also wants me to fall in love with another woman. What do you think she really thinks?"
Lan Qi disliked Yinzhen for being so blessed and not knowing how to be blessed, so she blamed him: "Yuxi is trying to make things better for you, and you ask her to do whatever you want. Tell me, if she is really jealous and makes trouble with you, who can guarantee that you won't get tired of it?"
, she will be accused of being jealous and not being human inside and out. You men are so self-righteous that you blame others for being inconsiderate when you wrong them."
Yinzhen seemed to feel relieved after being blamed, muttering: "I just don't want to wrong her, but she is obviously unhappy and pretends that nothing happened in front of me. I don't know what to do."
"Then you can't hug the newlywed and squeeze her." Lan Qi frowned and said, "I don't believe it, you like that chirping Song Gege so much?"
Yinzhen shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know how to refuse. She is too lively and clever. She always pesters me and I can't push her away."
"What kind of words are these?" Lan Qi sighed softly, stretched out her hand and poked her son's head gently, "Why didn't you learn from your Ama's skills? I never see you in trouble in serious matters, but a few women make you worry.
so."
Yinzhen said unconvinced: "Huang Ama is the emperor, what can E Niang and other ladies do?"
Lan Qi laughed out loud, scolded him for talking nonsense, and said: "Amma and E Niang are not what you think. Only you can understand the secrets here. It's not that E Niang doesn't care about you, it's because she can't understand it personally.
How can you figure out your feelings for each other? Maybe one day, you really don’t care about Yuxi anymore. Could it be that E Niang is forcing you to hold her in your hands?"
Yinzhen said anxiously: "It's impossible. How could my son not care about Yuxi? If he doesn't care, those two newcomers are dispensable. I'm happy to send them away right now."
"You're talking nonsense again, why are you getting more and more ignorant as you get older?" Lan Qi scolded her son with a smile, patted her son on the shoulder and said, "Just tell Yu Xi what you said just now. If you want to coax your own woman, you want to coax someone else."
Help? If you say it, people will laugh at you, but don’t let your emperor know about it, he will definitely think you are useless."
"Mom, what should I do?" The son was so eager that he took Lan Qi's hand and said helplessly, "How do I know what you women are thinking? What I think is wrong. Yu Xi doesn't pay attention to her at all.
"
Lan Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was helpless after being pestered by her son, so she whispered to him: "Since you don't know what to do, then just think it's all your fault. You can apologize to your wife behind closed doors. Who knows who will laugh at you."
What's more, Yuxi was right in the first place. It was you who wronged her first. This matter is not difficult at all. Which woman is not easy to coax? It depends on whether you are willing to put down your posture. It's useless for you to pester E Niang. I will pester you again.
