In Fengyi Palace, the queen fell silent after listening to Zhang Wanyin's words, and looked at Zhang Wanyin carefully.
Zhang Wanyin ran respectfully on the ground with a calm expression.
"Since it is King Duan's wish, then so be it!" the queen finally said.
"Queen, the courtyard of Prince Duan's Mansion has been prepared. Your Majesty has prepared it a long time ago. It's just that the etiquette may be lacking. Your Majesty wants to compensate Miss Yu Er in the future. Now that Prince Duan's Mansion is having troubles one after another, Your Majesty is not willing to let it go again.
The entire palace has become a topic of conversation for others after dinner."
Zhang Wanyin said softly and guiltily.
"Actually, it's not a deficiency. I originally wanted to propose this. Prince Duan's palace is currently in such troubled times that it really shouldn't be publicized anymore." The queen said gently and raised her hand, "Get up and speak. Now you are no longer Princess Mingqing.
, she is Princess Duan, and she is also my daughter-in-law, so she should be closer to her."
"Thank you, Queen." Zhang Wanyin was so moved that she held the maid's hand and sat down on the chair.
"Lizhu will also enter Prince Duan's Mansion in the future. I have to consider Prince Duan's Mansion. Be it Concubine Xu or Concubine Yu, it was not in compliance with the rules to enter Prince Duan's Mansion at the beginning. Although Lizhu entered Prince Duan's Mansion behind you,
But something like this happened again. I have the final say on this matter, so I can just handle it simply and just have a few meetings with those close to me."
Queen said.
Listening to these words, one can feel that the queen really feels sorry for Yu Lizhu.
The so-called opening of several tables is actually much better than the previous two concubines, at least it sounds justifiable.
"The Queen is absolutely right. Your Majesty said that you would like to invite some brothers to have a good gathering." Zhang Wanyin followed her wishes and said.
A smile appeared on the queen's face: "You are now Princess Duan, and you must exercise your power as the mistress of the house in the future. This must not happen again."
The so-called such thing is the matter that Ming and Princess Dachang came to visit.
"Don't worry, the Queen, I will never let outsiders bully the sisters in the palace while I'm in Prince Duan's Mansion." Zhang Wanyin promised.
The smile lines at the corners of the Queen's eyes deepened: "It's best if you think so. Prince Duan is the emperor's eldest prince, and his status is even more noble. No one can knock on the door at will. This will not only insult Prince Duan's face, but also the royal family."
face."
"Empress, I understand." Zhang Wanyin said softly and authentically.
Saying this, he asked someone to carry the gift up.
"Mother, can I go see the seventh princess? The prince is worried that the seventh princess will be bored alone in the palace, so he specially asked me to send a coral rockery over. This is a coral rockery that the prince specially sent to the south to find. It's very special.
Exquisite." Zhang Wanyin stood up and walked to a stout maid.
The maid held a red lacquered plate in her hand, with a coral rockery on it, and a big red cover inlaid with gold thread on the top.
Zhang Wanyin gently opened the lid.
The corals are beautiful, delicate, and natural. There are even some gems hanging on some branches. In fact, they are not all coral rockeries.
"Very good." Even the Queen nodded in admiration.
Zhang Wanyin said with a smile: "The seventh princess has always liked this kind of shiny things. The prince specially found it and sent it to the seventh princess. He specially asked me to go there."
"The seventh princess is not fully recovered yet, so it is not appropriate to worry too much now. Princess Rui does not need to go there specially." The queen said with a smile.
The seventh princess's confinement has been lifted, but she cannot leave the palace now, so she used illness as an excuse to speak. Although everyone knows the reason, the necessary dignity must be retained.
"I'll ask you, the Queen, to give it to you." Zhang Wanyin stood up and saluted.
"Forget it, just stay here for now." The queen smiled and nodded.
A chamberlain came over to take the tray and stepped back. Zhang Wanyin did not sit down immediately. She hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "I want to ask the Queen for something?"
"What's the matter?" the queen asked gently.
"Second Miss Yu is about to enter the house. Your Majesty said that it was based on the previous two concubines that I entered the house. I don't know the specific process. I originally wanted to ask Sister Yu, but Sister Yu is very ill now. Your Majesty
I don't allow anything in the house to disturb Sister Yu, so I thought of going to Xuanpinghou's house to ask Mrs. Zhou."
Zhang Wanyin said softly, her words sounded reasonable, but in fact they were far-fetched.
The queen's smile gradually faded and her face darkened slightly. Her focus was on the matter itself. The two concubines of Prince Duan's Mansion had no good end. One died and the other fell ill. It was said that the sick one was about to die, which sounded unlucky.
This is also one of the reasons why the queen agreed that Yu Lizhu should enter Prince Duan's palace immediately. Even if it was easier, she would go in first. Who knows if something will happen to Yu Yuxi again? It may not be a good thing if her niece's marriage is pushed back again and again. She tried so hard to get in in the first place.
Now is the time to get in.
"The Zhou family of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" the queen asked.
"Mrs. Zhou was the concubine of Marquis Xuanping. I heard that she was in charge of Concubine Yu's affairs at that time. Marquis Xuanping's palace was marrying a daughter, and Prince Duan's palace was a marriage, but I was thinking about Concubine Yu...
It's a little different, or maybe the Xuanping Hou Mansion has other preparations." Zhang Wanyin explained with a slightly red face.
"This is my first time to deal with this kind of thing. I really don't know how to deal with it. I would like to ask Mrs. Zhou for advice."
This was said in an extremely soft tone and had a profound meaning.
"Just a common wife, what can you know! As for Concubine Yu, Princess Duan, you are the official concubine of the palace. You will also be in charge of the affairs of the palace from now on. Don't miss the affairs of the palace just because of one person." The queen hammered.
"The Queen is absolutely right." Zhang Wanyin's face turned redder and redder, she became helpless and looked extremely uneasy.
"However, since you have said this, I will not refute your face. This is the first time you have spoken to me." After the queen glanced at her, her expression softened.
"Thank you, Queen." Zhang Wanyin was overjoyed and said hurriedly.
"No matter how special Concubine Yu is, I can't get ahead of you. You are the official concubine of Prince Duan's palace. No matter who sees you, they must bow their heads. You are the real princess." The queen continued to hammer.
Zhang Wanyin hurriedly said, "Yes!"
"You are young, but you were raised in front of the Queen Mother. You have been calm since you were a child. No matter what you do, you are much more stable than others. With so many things happening in Prince Duan's Mansion, you, the princess, have to handle it well.
Don't cause any other troubles. Lizhu is an outspoken person. If there is anything wrong in the future, you, as the princess, can correct me."
Queen said.
The rough meaning is to shift the focus from Yu Yuxi to Yu Lizhu.
"Empress, I will get along well with Miss Yu Er." Zhang Wanyin leaned forward and said.
After the queen looked at Zhang Wanyin for a few times, the corners of her lips slightly curved: "You are a good person. As the concubine, I am very relieved. Lizhu is raised by my side and is a bit pampered. From now on, you can only take care of her."
, if she disobeys, I will make the decision for you."
"Yes." Zhang Wanyin became more and more respectful.
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back first. You are the newlyweds, and you have to deal with so many things in Prince Duan's palace. I told the emperor before that I have wronged you," the queen said with a smile.
"Empress, concubine... I'm not wronged." Zhang Wanyin said, saying that she was not wronged, the corners of her eyes were already red. The day of the wedding was interrupted by a funeral, and now she can't even get married. Her husband is now focusing on another woman.
, anyone would feel aggrieved.
"I know you are wronged. When Prince Duan comes into the palace, I will talk about him. He is Prince Duan and you are Princess Duan. You should not give your dignity to other women." The queen's face darkened and she snorted coldly.
He said, "Prince Duan is really fooling around. I just consummated your marriage with you now. I thought you two had already settled it. It's also because there have been so many things lately, I was so busy that I forgot about it."
Zhang Wanyin's face turned red and she could hardly make a sound. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and couldn't raise her head.
"Well, I have also watched you grow up. It is said that you were raised under the Queen Mother's knees, but it is not true that you were raised in front of me. If you have any grievances in the future, just come to me and tell me that I will make the decision for you.
No matter it is Lizhu or Prince Duan, you are the royal concubine and no one can get past you."
Queen said.
"Thank you, Queen." Zhang Wanyin's voice was as low as an ant, her blushing face showed some gratitude, and she bowed to the Queen again.
Seeing her appearance, the queen was quite satisfied. After taking a sip from the tea cup, she coughed and asked nonchalantly: "Is Mrs. Zhennan Hou about to leave?"
"My aunt said she won't leave for the time being. Second sister's matter... it's not convenient for her to leave at the moment."
The queen chuckled: "Yes, what does Zhennan Hou mean?"
"To report to the Queen, I have been growing up in the palace since I was a child. I have lived in Zhennanhou for a while, but the time was too short. There are some things that my aunt and second sister may not tell me." Zhang Wanyin smiled bitterly.
It shows that he has a normal relationship with the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and his relationship with Zhennan Hou's wife and Zhang Wanying is also extremely normal. In addition to all the previous rumors, it is reasonable for Zhang Wanyin to be related to them.
In front of the queen, Zhang Wanyin made her relationship with Zhang Wanying very clear.
Zhang Wanying knew she was going to be in bad luck at the first glance. How could she be related to Zhang Wanying? Of course Zhang Wanyin knew what her aunt was planning. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the seventh princess had not yet married into the Yangshan Hou Mansion, so she could marry Zhang Wanying first, so that the seventh princess could be married.
How could the princess's character tolerate a woman who wanted to steal her husband?
It's just that it's inconvenient for the Seventh Princess now, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with Zhang Wanying.
She just waited to see the good show. Anyway, on the surface, she was not close to the Zhennan Hou Mansion. Zhang Wanying was going to marry the Yangshan Hou Crown Prince, which was much better than she had secretly guessed before. Compared with herself, Princess Duan, Zhang Wanying was
The concubine of Crown Prince Yangshan is really nothing.
Zhang Wanying is actually really good to die. Apart from embarrassing herself and dragging her down to be bored by the Queen and the Seventh Princess, what else will it do!
If Zhang Wanying dies, her uncle will allocate unlimited resources to him. What's the use of her aunt's troubles then!
Of course, she won't take the initiative to take action. If she wants to take action, it depends on the seventh princess. It depends on how long the seventh princess can tolerate...
It's not about whether you will take action, it's just about when...
