Yue'er remembered that the Crown Prince told her last night that Prince Rong should have dined with Concubine Xin, and Concubine Xin was close to the old lady. Concubine Rong's unwellness should also be related to Concubine Xin.
Because King Rong was always thinking about Concubine Xin, Princess Rong was unhappy. If it was just an ordinary concubine, Princess Rong would not take it seriously. Dealing with a concubine is naturally an easy task. But Xin
The concubine had the support of the old lady behind her, and she could not be killed. Princess Rong could only endure it on her own.
Princess Rong doesn't seem to be a jealous person. It seems that Concubine Xin made Princess Rong a lot angry.
The old lady did not give face to her daughter-in-law, and asked the prince to persuade Princess Rong not to be so stingy in front of Yue'er, the bride.
Wait, she remembered that the second son of Prince Rong was born from a concubine. Could it be that the biological mother of the second son was Concubine Xin?
"Don't worry, old lady, Ying'er will persuade the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law knows the old lady's good intentions, and besides, Concubine Xin does take good care of her father," the prince said.
"The second young master may not have been here for a long time. Do you know what he does on weekdays?" the old lady said.
The old lady likes the second young master more than the prince. If she doesn't see the second young master for a few days, she will send someone to invite him over.
The prince knew that the old lady was thinking about the second young master, so he said, "Ying'er has not seen the second younger brother in the past few days."
"As an elder brother, you should care more about your younger brother. How can you not even know what your younger brother has done in the past few days?" the old lady complained.
"Yes, what the old lady taught me is that it's all Ying'er's fault." The prince said.
"Okay, let's eat first," the old lady said.
After eating, the old lady said she was a little tired, so she sent the prince and Yue'er back first.
Halfway through, Yue'er didn't understand why the old lady complained about the prince because of a concubine, so she said: "Your Majesty, the second young master didn't come to visit the old lady. It was the second young master's fault. How can the old lady blame you?"
"The old lady has always liked the second brother. No matter what the second brother says or does, the old lady will never be angry." The prince said.
"Your Majesty, forgive Yue'er for being presumptuous. Yue'er is just a little curious about who the old lady is and why everyone from the father to the mother and concubine, as well as the Crown Prince, respect her so much?" Yue'er asked again.
Yue'er had already guessed the identity of the old lady. She asked the prince again not because she was curious, but because of the attitude of Prince Rong's family towards the old lady. If she still pretended not to be able to tell, she would be acting too deliberately.
She could only pretend to be curious and continue to ask the prince.
The prince said: "Yue'er, my father and mother really respect the old lady very much. When I was a child, I always thought that the old lady was my grandmother. Out of curiosity, I asked my mother more than once. But the mother said that the reason why my father respected the old lady was
, because she is your father's wet nurse. But when I grow up, I don't think it is as simple as the mother-in-law said."
"It turns out that the prince doesn't know, but it does make people suspicious. If the old lady is really just the wet nurse of the father, how could the mother-in-law allow her to send women to the father?" Yue'er said.
"It would be too easy for Concubine Xin to deal with a concubine. But Concubine Xin has the old lady to support her, and Concubine Xin does not dare to do anything to her. Although she has a low status and stays in the palace as an aunt, her father
However, the king loved her in every possible way. Later, Concubine Xin gave birth to the second son, and the father asked His Majesty to make her a concubine. Although she was only a concubine, the father entrusted the affairs of the palace to her.
Take care of it, because of the old lady’s relationship, everyone in the mansion respects her very much. Even if the mother-in-law is angry, there is nothing she can do about it. Over the years, the mother-in-law has suffered a lot of grievances," the prince said.
"If Yue'er has time, she will definitely spend more time with her mother and concubine." Yue'er said.
"Yue'er, you are really a kind woman." The prince said.
"I'm just a little curious. Since my father loves Concubine Xin, why didn't we see her when we paid her respects the next day?" Yue'er asked.
"That morning, she went to have dinner with the old lady." The prince said.
Yue'er has never seen this Concubine Xin since she entered the house. She is very curious about what kind of charm Concubine Xin has that can win her.
Follow the father's heart. You must know that the mother-in-law was also a beauty back then, and the second young master and the prince were only two years apart. In other words, in the second year after the father-in-law got married, Concubine Xin had already entered the palace.
"My mother-in-law is really pitiful. You should spend more time with your mother-in-law when you have time in the future. Of course, as a daughter-in-law, I must also be filial to my mother-in-law for you." Yue'er advised.
"I understand." The prince said.
After returning to the courtyard, the prince went out to do errands. After Yue'er returned, she leaned on the couch and thought about what happened today.
Yue'er didn't expect to see Concubine Xian so soon. She had just heard about Prince Rong on the day she returned home.
She also did not expect that the old lady could be so strong, and the mother-in-law suffered a lot of grievances because of it. The father and the mother-in-law seemed to be inseparable, but they also ignored the mother-in-law and loved Concubine Xin in every possible way.
Seeing that Yue'er was lost in thought, Chun'er said softly: "Miss, did something happen today? Why did the lady just lean here in a daze when she came back?"
Yue'er took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I just didn't expect that the mother-in-law has suffered so many grievances."
"Miss, I have also inquired with the sisters in the kitchen these days. The one whom Prince Rong loves the most is Concubine Xin. I heard that the prince does not stay in the main courtyard on weekdays, but stays in Concubine Xin's house almost every day.
Spend the night in the courtyard. Moreover, Concubine Xin is taking care of everything in the palace, so the princess has indeed suffered a lot of grievances," Chun'er said.
"Why did my father do this? Is it because of the old lady?" Yue'er said.
"I heard that the old lady passed away early, and the prince treated the old lady as filially as his biological mother. I heard that the prince used to treat the princess very well, but because the princess was jealous, she gave a pregnant aunt medicine, and the child naturally died.
, I heard that the aunt was not even saved her life. Perhaps it was because of this incident that the prince was disappointed in the princess." Chun'er said.
"It turns out that something like this happened before. No wonder the father ignored the mother and concubine." Yue'er said.
"My servant also heard that because the princess treated my aunt like this more than once, the prince is very disappointed with the princess." Chun'er said.
"It's no wonder that my father is angry. It would be difficult for me to forgive my mother and concubine," Yue'er said.
"Miss, I swear that I will serve you well and will never betray you." Chun'er suddenly said.
"Chun'er is fine. What are you doing? I understand what you mean, get up quickly." Yue'er asked.
"Yes, miss." Chun'er said.
Yue'er understood what Chun'er meant. In fact, her mother had told her that in a year or two, she would give Chun'er to the Crown Prince. Chun'er was one of her own no matter what, and it was better than the Crown Prince falling in love with someone else.
Mother must have told Chun'er before, so Chun'er behaved like this.
"Silly girl, if you like it, I will definitely fulfill it for you." Yue'er said.
"Miss, Chun'er never wants to get married. If Miss is worried, how about waiting until Chun'er has a sweetheart before telling Miss?" Chun'er said anxiously.
"Okay, I promise you." Yue'er said.
"Thank you very much, miss," Chun'er said.
"Chun'er, isn't it good to be the prince's aunt?" Yue'er asked.
"Miss, Chun'er has never thought of it this way. The Crown Prince is your husband, Chun'er can't do this." Chun'er said against her will.
Before Yue'er got married, Madam always told Chun'er that after a year or two, she would be given to the Crown Prince, and that she and the lady would serve the Crown Prince together in the future.
Chun'er is naturally willing. After all, she comes from a humble background. Even if the young lady makes the decision for her and has a family, she is just a businessman at most. Although she is only an aunt for the prince, when she gives birth to a boy and a girl in the future, the prince will also give her a side.
The title of concubine.
She knew that the young lady did not really like the prince, and even if she became the prince's aunt, the young lady would not care.
The reason why Chun'er was worried was because she was frightened by the princess. The reason why Aunt Xin was able to give birth to the second son safely was because she had the care of the old lady behind her. If Aunt Xin was like me, without any backer, the young lady might also
I won't let myself give birth to a child.
World
The wife was obedient to the young lady's advice, so what could her little concubine mean?
"Chun'er, don't worry." Yue'er said.
Before dinner, the maid next to the princess came to the new house and said to Yue'er: "Your Majesty, the princess invites you to come and have dinner together."
"Thank you sister." Yue'er said politely.
The maid hurriedly said: "Prince Princess, you don't have to be so polite to this slave. I am the princess's personal maid Jin Zhi."
After Yue'er tidied her clothes, she left the new house with her maid. As a result, she met the crown prince on the way.
The two of them came to the main courtyard together. After entering the house, Yue'er found that besides the princess, there was an additional lady in the house.
"Mother," the prince said.
"Well, sit down and talk, Yue'er, this is Concubine Xin." Princess Rong said.
"Concubine Xin." Yue'er said.
"Congratulations, Prince, for getting your wish." Concubine Xin said.
The Crown Prince ignored Concubine Xin and said to Concubine Rong, "Concubine, why are you interested in calling us over for dinner today?"
When the lady saw that the prince ignored her, she was not angry, so she picked up the tea and started drinking it.
Princess Rong shook her head and said helplessly: "It's your father's wish. He said that he hasn't seen Concubine Xin since Yue'er came in, so he just sent a message and wanted to have a meal together as a family."
"I see. Concubine, I took Yue'er to see the old lady early this morning, and the old lady is still thinking about you." The prince said.
"I will go over and pay my respects to the old lady in person some other day, so that she won't worry about it," Princess Rong said.
"Yes. I will accompany my mother and concubine there then." The prince said.
"You should spend more time with Yue'er. You are newlyweds. What are you doing with me?" Princess Rong said.
"Concubine, in the future, Yue'er will often sit with you when she has the opportunity. I hope you won't dislike Yue'er." Yue'er said.
"Since you two got married, the prince has become filial. I think this is all due to Yue'er." Princess Rong said with a smile.
"Concubine, Yue'er often reminded me that I should talk to you more. My child was not sensible before, which made my concubine heartbroken," the prince said.
Princess Rong looked at Concubine Xin beside her and said, "An'er is not young anymore. The prince also mentioned before that it's time to find a marriage for An'er."
"Thank you for your concern, sister. It's just that An'er is not as sensible as the prince, and it's too late to get married two years later." Concubine Xin said.
