Before dinner, Ziyi came. It was rare that Feng Guqiu invited several women from the inner courtyard to have dinner with her. When Mu Lingxue arrived, she saw only the Rong family, Wang family and Yang family who had arrived early. Among them, Feng Guqiu also
Among them, only Dong is missing.
"I'm late." As soon as Mu Lingxue came in, the other women stood up and said hello, "Is Aunt Dong not here yet?"
On the way here, Mu Lingxue heard from Shuizhu that the Dong family was grounded again. Ziyi told her that if there was a chance that she would be sent directly to Zhuangzi next time, the house would finally be quiet this time.
Mrs. Rong, who had been in charge of the inner courtyard, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The prince and prince have just come back. The food is ready. Let's eat first."
Yang also raised her head and glanced at Feng Guqiu with a sweet smile, and then lowered her eyes. She was shy and delicate, but not pretentious, making people jealous and disgusting. Mu Lingxue glanced at Feng Guqiu from the corner of her eyes, and saw that he was indeed
He also stared blankly, then slightly raised the corners of his lips.
"Everyone, sit down, I have something to say." As soon as Feng Guqiu opened his mouth, several people became less polite and sat down in order. Seeing that everyone was seated, Feng Guqiu looked at it and continued, "Princess is going to be here in a few days.
Go to Zhuangzi with me to investigate, and any matters in the mansion will be discussed and decided by the Yang family and the Rong family."
Both Rong and Yang were stunned. Yang reacted first, "Your Majesty, I have just arrived at the palace, how can I bear such a responsibility?"
Only then did Mrs. Rong react, "Concubine Yang is so polite. The prince can trust us. Since the prince has decided, Concubine Yang should not refuse. The food is getting cold, so everyone should eat first."
Speaking of smart, Mrs. Rong is very powerful. It can be seen at a glance that she has always been thinking about the overall situation of the prince. She has such a considerate and aggrieved attitude that makes any man feel distressed. In comparison, Yang previously
His beauty dimmed.
Feng Guqiu stretched out her right hand and patted Rong's hand, "You have always been sensible. With you here, I feel relieved."
Mrs. Rong lowered her head, "This is what I am supposed to do."
As a result, Mu Lingxue, the royal concubine, seemed to have lost her status. Yang smiled at Mu Lingxue to show her kindness, but Mu Lingxue didn't take it seriously and enjoyed everyone's performance as if she were watching a play.
Mrs. Wang is the quietest one. She has hardly raised her head since she came in. She was ignored like air. Mu Lingxue was very curious as to why such Mrs. Wang would become the aunt of the palace and wanted to come to the Smell of Fragrance Pavilion to send her off.
The women who came here were from better backgrounds than the Wang family. Thinking about it this way, this Wang family must not be a simple character.
After dinner, Feng Guqiu naturally went to Yang's place to make up for the wedding night. Rong was not unhappy along the way. She smiled and walked with Mu Lingxue, "I've been doing some new things in the past few days.
The clothes are for the princess’ sister. The princess should not dislike them. I chose the colors and patterns according to the most popular styles in the capital. I don’t know if Miss Mu will like them?”
"Thank you." Mu Lingxue didn't say much and just said thank you.
Mrs. Rong smiled lightly and said, "I didn't think much of Aunt Dong and let her hit Miss Mu. Fortunately, the prince punished Aunt Dong, so I feel better."
"My sister was spoiled when she was in the house. If she has shortcomings, I hope my sisters will accept her." Mu Lingxue stopped and looked towards Yang's courtyard, and Rong also stopped.
"Seeing that Concubine Yang is younger than me, yet she got married so early."
Rong didn't know what the other party meant, so she just answered vaguely, "Women in the Western Jin Dynasty often get married early, not to mention that Concubine Yang is marrying a prince, so such a marriage is hard to come by."
Mu Lingxue smiled faintly, "Concubine Rong has been in the palace for the longest time, and she was the envy of many women when she married Concubine Yang?"
Rong smiled in reply, but the smile was obviously a bit stiff.
Yes, what right did she have to be jealous of the woman next to her for getting the prince's love? She could also tell that the princess was reminding her that she needed to see things clearly, and that she wanted to marry well and be loved by a man.
You cannot have both.
"Thank you, Princess, for raising me as a concubine today." Mrs. Rong smiled sincerely.
"Concubine Rong, there is no need to thank me, you have done a good job yourself." One more enemy is not as good as one more friend.
She also wanted to make Ms. Rong understand that there was no conflict of interest between them. No matter what Concubine Rong did, even if she was no longer the main concubine, she would never become the main concubine. So some women were confused here, knowing that they were wrong.
Impossible, but fighting to the death is no different from a moth flying into a flame.
At this time, Mrs. Rong has no resentment, which shows that she is a very transparent woman who can face reality. Only such a woman can stay in this courtyard for a long time without falling.
