Yu Lizhu waited all night and lost a lot of temper. In the end, she even wanted to rush to the study and find Zhang Wanyin. It was obviously her wedding day, but she, a princess, shamelessly took over the favor. It was really outrageous.
She couldn't bear this tone, but fortunately everyone around her looked at her and prevented her from rushing over.
In the end, Yu Lizhu was tired from all the fuss, so she could only put on her clothes and lie down. When she woke up, it was already bright, and she heard footsteps coming in from outside, and the servants' respectful voices saying "I have met the prince."
The dowry maid hurriedly came in and helped Yu Lizhu get up. Only then did Yu Lizhu clearly realize that she was married and that she was alone in the new house on the wedding night.
"Is the concubine up?" Feng Lanxiu's voice came out.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has already gotten up." The maid reported, and Yu Lizhu in the inner room was helped to freshen up immediately.
Feng Lanxiu didn't enter the house either, just waiting outside.
Yu Lizhu came out after washing herself and bowed to Feng Lan with a smile: "I have met the prince."
"Concubine, you don't have to be polite. It's getting late, so you can enter the palace." Feng Lanxiu stood up and said, then strode out.
"Your Majesty, I haven't had breakfast yet." Yu Lizhu burst into tears of grievance.
"There are cakes on the carriage. Use some first. I will accompany you to have a meal with you later." Feng Lanxiu kept saying at his feet, calculating the time. He really couldn't delay any more.
Even though Yu Lizhu was unwilling, she could only follow him out.
Feng Lanxiu got on the carriage first. Yu Lizhu came over panting, holding on to the shaft and followed.
In the carriage, Feng Lanxiu had already taken out several plates of pastries. When he saw Yu Lizhu coming in, he pushed it in front of her and said gently: "If the concubine is hungry, please give me some comfort first."
After saying that, he leaned back and squinted his eyes. He went to bed late last night and kept thinking about what he would face today. He didn't sleep well. Now he just wanted to rest for a while.
Looking at everything in front of her, her husband-in-law, who was obviously a little indifferent, and the cold dishes of pastries on the table, Yu Lizhu's eyes turned red with grievance...
Yu Lizhu was a concubine, and she was originally supposed to be just a concubine. When a newlywed got married, she did not need to enter the palace immediately to meet the queen. After all, she was just a concubine.
Yu Lizhu is different. From the position of Yu Lizhu's aunt, the queen has to meet her niece in person. What's more, in the eyes of outsiders, the queen loves her most concubine niece, even her legitimate niece Yu Liyue.
She also had to stand aside. In this case, the queen made an appointment early for the bride and groom to come to the palace to pay her respects the next day.
Yu Lizhu entered Prince Duan's Mansion because she had to compare with others, and because Prince Duan's Mansion was in troubled times right now, she was mistreated in many ways. This was the Queen's wish, so Feng Lanxiu naturally agreed and said she would definitely bring her with her.
Come over with Yu Lizhu and kowtow to the queen.
Zhang Wanyin entered the palace early in the morning, and she went to see the Queen Mother first.
The Queen Mother got up. When she heard that Zhang Wanyin was coming, she summoned her to come in.
Zhang Wanyin put away her worries and followed a nanny into the inner hall. The Queen Mother was still sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, and a special nanny was carefully combing her hair.
Zhang Wanyin bowed politely: "I have met the Queen Mother."
"Why are you here so early? The bride doesn't want to see the princess today?" The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Wanyin through the mirror and asked.
"For Empress Dowager, Sister Yu needs to go to the palace to pay homage to the Empress first. Things in the palace are not urgent." Zhang Wanyin said softly.
The Queen Mother nodded noncommittally, then looked at Zhang Wanyin's face and saw that she looked haggard. Even though she was neatly dressed, she could not hide the tiredness in her eyes.
"Looking at you so early, could something have happened?"
Zhang Wanyin heard the question and knelt down with a plop, her head on the ground, and her voice choked with sobs: "Please make the decision, the Queen Mother."
"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother leaned back, and the nanny who was combing her hair became more and more careful. When she saw a white hair falling from the Queen Mother's hairline, she hurriedly and carefully hid it in her sleeves, and combed her hair more and more gently.
"The Queen Mother, something happened in Prince Duan's Mansion yesterday. Princess Ming and the eldest daughter came back with Sister Xu's tomb..." Zhang Wanyin didn't
He dared to conceal it and told the whole story. It happened yesterday. Even if the Queen Mother was deep in the palace, she could not know anything about it.
In order to maintain authenticity, Zhang Wanyin did not dare to add anything. She only paid careful attention to her speaking skills and conveyed the meaning calmly.
"Li Xiangyi really provoked Yu Xijiao?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly after hearing what she said and asked.
"I don't know, I just heard about this." Zhang Wanyin said respectfully, not daring to add her own speculation. She was just an outsider who was not familiar with the matter. At that time, she had not yet married into Prince Duan's palace.
Li Xiangyi is a stranger.
It was the Queen Mother's intention to bring Li Xiangyi into the palace.
"What kind of person do you think Li Xiangyi is?" the Queen Mother asked, giving her a sideways glance.
"I was so frightened that I placed the person in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and then left."
Zhang Wanyin whispered uneasily.
"Tell me what you think!" the Queen Mother said quietly.
"I feel...I'm afraid that there are some things that Miss Li may not know, but if she is said to have harmed Sister Xu, I don't believe it. She is a little girl who has just arrived in the capital. How capable is she to come and go in Prince Duan's Mansion?"
Ziru, even if she had been familiar with part of the route to Prince Duan's Mansion before, she would not have been able to set up such a big trap."
Zhang Wanyin said sincerely, and there was no excuse this time.
The Queen Mother nodded. This was how two people talked and dealt with each other in the past. If Zhang Wanyin didn't say anything now and acted like she was doing nothing, the Queen Mother would be disappointed.
"Is it possible that there is someone behind Li Xiangyi?" the Queen Mother asked in a cold tone.
If someone is there, maybe they can do this.
Zhang Wanyin's heart trembled, and she immediately calmed down the tremor in her heart. She thought for a while and said: "The Queen Mother, I think...it should be impossible. After all, the matter of Miss Li's coming to Beijing is true, and her father's matter was wronged."
The thing is also true. If someone wants to use her to deal with Prince Duan’s Mansion, it’s really... it’s really..."
Zhang Wanyin couldn't speak anymore in the end and could only smile bitterly.
But the conversation has cleverly turned to dealing with Prince Duan's Mansion.
If this kind of thing was really deliberately planned to deal with someone, it would naturally be to deal with King Duan. Only royal battles would involve such great care.
The Queen Mother naturally understood the unfinished words in her words. She originally liked Li Xiangyi a thousand or ten thousand times. Now the Queen Mother regretted her original haste and immediately prepared to give Li Xiangyi to her second grandson. Although
Now the official decree has not been issued, but everyone in the palace knows about it.
"Your Majesty, the breakfast is ready." A chambermaid came in to report.
The Queen Mother had already finished washing her clothes. She stood up and said to Zhang Wanyin: "Get up. Looking at you, you probably haven't had your breakfast yet. Please use some."
Zhang Wanyin stood up in response, skillfully stretched out her hand to support the Queen Mother, helped her sit down, and then served the Queen Mother for breakfast. Everything was very natural, as if she had not left Chun'an Palace and was doing everything very well.
It is comfortable and the Queen Mother is very satisfied with it.
When the Queen Mother finished using it, Zhang Wanyin finished half a bowl of porridge and then asked someone to put it away.
After everything was cleaned up, the voice of the chamberlain came from outside, Ming and the eldest princess were here.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, not in a hurry to see Ming and the eldest princess, and asked people to bring tea first. Zhang Wanyin understood, and then turned around and asked people to prepare medicinal meals. As for Ming and the eldest princess, they were waiting in the corridor outside, coming from Chun'an Palace.
Most of the people in the palace did not dare to go out of their way to salute.
The eldest princess Minghe had a serious face, looking haggard and thin. She stood upright holding the hand of the maid, not daring to show her anger, and maintaining her eldest princess' dignity.
In fact, not only Ming and the eldest princess came, but Yu Xijiao also came.
Yesterday, she received a summons from the Queen Mother, asking her to enter the palace early today. She also had some breakfast early this morning, so she came over immediately. Unexpectedly, she met Princess Minghe in the corridor.
He took two steps forward and bowed to the eldest princess Minghe: "I have met the eldest princess."
Seeing Yu Xijiao here, Ming and the eldest princess did not care.
Besides, since she went to Prince Duan's Mansion yesterday to cause trouble, it is inevitable that she will enter the palace today.
He closed his eyes, opened them again, his expression became much gentler, and waved to Yu Xijiao to come over.
Yu Xijiao took two steps forward but did not come any further. This position was neither forward nor backward, allowing her to speak without appearing too close.
"Li Xiangyi came to your house and made trouble for you?" Princess Minghe asked straight to the point.
"Miss Li has indeed been here." Yu Xijiao nodded.
"Are you talking about the incident between her and Prince Qi in the palace?" Princess Ming and the eldest princess continued to ask. This incident happened in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Everything outside was just rumors. The words from Yu Xijiao are the most true.
"Say it was a misunderstanding." Yu Xi smiled reluctantly. Anyone who found out that there was a so-called misunderstanding between a woman and her unmarried husband would not be happy.
Even if the Xuanping Marquis Mansion wants to break off the engagement with the Qi Prince Mansion, hasn’t the marriage still not been called off after all?
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding can she, a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, have with the Crown Prince of Qi?" Princess Minghe said sincerely. At this moment, she really seemed like an elder who really cared about Yu Xijiao, "I heard that this
Miss Li is extremely beautiful, and it is difficult for any daughter from aristocratic families in the capital to compare with her."
After Minghe and the eldest princess finished speaking, they looked Yu Xijiao up and down. Even if they felt disgusted, they had to admit that Yu Xijiao was really good-looking, and An He's granddaughter was really good-looking.
Feng Yu is also a short-sighted guy. The best one is his granddaughter, but he just likes such a showy, and it is also a useless show.
Therefore, this time she would rather choose Prince Zhongshan than Feng Yu again.
The Prince of Zhongshan can contain Feng Yu. Even if he is not obedient openly, he can involve him secretly. With the Prince of Zhongshan's previous pulls, Feng Yu has been attracted into the game, and Ming and the eldest princess are still very satisfied.
A woman's appearance is not as important as her family background! Besides, this is about marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous wife, and taking concubines is the only way to get sex. Feng Yu saw that he was useless at first glance, and he was a short-sighted person who was not worthy of discussion!
Raising her head slightly, the eldest princess Minghe pointed at Yu Xijiao with arrogance: "This girl is coming soon. If you have any grievances, just complain to the Queen Mother. If nothing happens, you are also the future Princess of Qi, so how can she be
