Chaoli's voice was gentle, and Song Lingxin was a little unhappy, but it completely disappeared at this moment.
Of course, Song Lingxin's unhappiness was not because of Chaoli, but because of some things at home.
"I just arrived, and it's because of some minor troubles at home. I'm really annoyed." Song Lingxin curled her lips and said.
Chaoli pulled Song Lingxin and put his index finger upright on his lips.
"Keep your voice down. The palace is not as good as outside. Today is the fifteenth day. Don't say any unlucky words. Be careful if others hear you. You will get into trouble. At last year's palace banquet, an adult from the Ministry of Rites said this.
"I was so cold that I was punished with twenty sticks and was carried out of the palace gate."
It's not that Chaoli is deliberately scaring Song Lingxin, but he is reminding her because what she said is also true.
There were many taboos in the palace, so Song Lingxin had to be cautious when attending a palace banquet for the first time. Last year, her father was arranged by the Holy Emperor to go to Bianzhou, so she naturally did not attend.
In previous years, it was because Aunt Cen was afraid that she would be embarrassed and offend the nobles in the palace, so she was restricted from participating.
If Chao Li hadn't been here this year, Aunt Cen would not have agreed to Song Lingxin coming to the palace.
Now that Song Lingxin is here, of course she has to help take care of him.
Song Lingxin's face looked a little ugly, but she covered her mouth and spoke softly.
"Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I won't know what taboos I have committed." Seeing that no one was around, Song Ling let go and continued, "I'm going to be mad at my old lady. I'm going to faint. You
I know that she has always treated my mother badly. Today I saw that she was attending the palace banquet, and she was not the royal wife and was not qualified to come, so she felt unhappy and made fun of my mother. My mother is the same, she is so capable of dealing with her aunt, but in
I act like a quail in front of the old lady, who makes me angry. If my mother hadn't given birth to my younger brother, I'm afraid the old lady would have asked my father to divorce my mother."
From the perspective of the eldest concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, it is difficult for Chao Li to comment on the affairs of the Song family.
But facing a close friend and close friend of his mother, Chaoli was of course willing to say a few words.
Chaoli could still recall some memories from his past life after thinking about them.
"Ling Xin, Mrs. Song has always had a grudge against Aunt Cen, which may be related to the fact that Uncle Song did not marry Mrs. Song's natal niece. I heard that Mrs. Song's niece did not marry well and her husband died three years ago.
Now I live alone with my daughter in the Song family. In my opinion, you should be more careful and don't give that person and Mrs. Song an opportunity to take advantage of it. They may have plans."
Song Lingxin was simple and straightforward, but she was not a fool. After watching her mother's methods of dealing with her aunt for so many years, she was somewhat influenced by her.
After hearing Chaoli's words this time, Song Lingxin's face became very ugly.
"Ali, what do you mean, the old lady is still planning to let her niece marry my father? But my father has always only regarded her as a sister, and letting her stay in the Song family is just to fulfill his brotherly love.
"Song Lingxin frowned.
It's not that she doesn't believe Chao Li, but she thinks Chao Li may have misunderstood something. After all, the Song family has always been in peace for so many years.
Besides, Song Lingxin still knew what kind of temper her father was like.
There are only two aunts, both given by the prince. Those two are relatively peaceful, perhaps because of their mother's skill.
But my father is not a licentious person, and he should not have any other thoughts about a widow.
If this were the case, he would not have refused the marriage in the first place.
"Ling Xin, you think too simply. Now it's not just about feelings. I remember that Mrs. Song's niece's daughter is one year younger than you, but she has also reached the age to discuss marriage. If she lived in the Song family, she would be
Even if it is related to her, it is unlikely that she will be betrothed to a good family. But if her mother becomes Uncle Song's aunt, then her status will naturally be much higher than that of the little widow's daughter, and the marriage will not be the same.
"Maybe with the help of Mrs. Song, I can still bear the surname Song, and then it will be too late." Chaoli analyzed Song Lingxin in a low voice.
It's not that Chaoli wants to judge others with malice, it's because he heard the news in his previous life.
For this reason, Aunt Cen had been ill for a long time. She could not go to visit her, so she had to send someone to deliver things.
Song Lingxin's father was indeed not a licentious person, and indeed had no interest in the young widow, not to mention that she was someone she had always regarded as her sister.
But that woman was not a simple thing. She drugged Song's father, and finally forced him to accept her as his aunt.
If she remembered correctly, the previous life was about this time.
Song Lingxin's expression changed, this time she really took Chao Li's words to heart.
"I understand, thank you Ali, I will be more careful and talk to my mother when I go back." Song Lingxin looked serious.
Mrs. Cen slowly approached, "What do you want to say?"
"Aunt Cen, long time no see." Chaoli greeted with a smile.
Hearing this, Mrs. Cen didn't care about what she had just asked Song Lingxin. She stepped forward and took Chaoli's hand, looking at her carefully.
You know, Mrs. Cen has always liked Chaoli better, because her daughter is like a monkey, but it is a lady like Chaoli who is deeply liked by her.
Now that Chaoli was married, she hadn't seen him for a long time, but she was thinking about him very much.
"You look good, I guess the prince treats you well, I feel relieved at last." Mrs. Cen smiled and squeezed Chaoli's shoulder.
Chaoli's nose was a little sore. She had too many scruples in her previous life, and she didn't even dare to meet people who treated her sincerely.
Now it's fine, she doesn't need to worry about this.
"Aunt Cen is worried. Ling Xin and I just chatted casually for a while. It's not easy to talk in the palace. How about we find a small corner to have a good chat?" Chaoli asked.
Of course Mr. Cen would not refuse, "Very good, let's go."
The three of them walked to a remote corner where there were few people, and their maids also gathered together, each chatting about their own things.
Not long after, near noon, a high-pitched voice sounded.
"The royal concubine has arrived!"
"Concubine Shu is here!"
"The Queen is here!"
When the harem concubines arrived, everyone present was forced to stop gossiping and all knelt down to salute.
The queen is also in her forties, but she has been well-bred in the palace and looks like she is only in her thirties. She is wearing a bright red phoenix robe, which makes her look extremely gorgeous and noble.
"Everyone, please stand up." The queen raised her hand and said.
"Thank you, Queen."
Several concubines sat down together with the queen. The top position and the right side were still empty, while the remaining positions were occupied by several concubines.
Of course, from the outside, the relationship between the ladies seemed to be very good, and they were all chatting and laughing when they sat down.
