The married women and clan members present are all legitimate daughters from noble families. In their blood, it is deep-rooted in their blood that they have other ideas. Even if they are now forced to lose power, they also think that Yifang is already the daughter of an equal wife, and they no longer
She is a concubine, and she has come to pay her respects, but a legitimate daughter is a legitimate daughter, and a concubine is a concubine. They want to stick to the big tree of Concubine Yi, but no one has thought about letting the legitimate daughter of their own clan marry a concubine!
For a wealthy family, even if it is not a huge shame, it is enough to make the entire family unable to hold its head high in the wealthy family.
However, the Duke of Shu, now at the top of the aristocratic family, actually chose a concubine of the Dou family for marriage. In order to have a closer relationship with Concubine Yi, they chose Dou Zunian, Concubine Yi's half-brother.
, instead of the other direct descendants of the Dou family!
This is simply true, and it was Princess Rongshou who proposed it!
The ladies looked at each other in shock, unable to believe what they heard. After a while, when they saw the old but still noble face of Princess Rongshou, no one doubted it anymore.
They were convinced that what they just heard was not wrong.
There was a huge commotion. Due to the power of Concubine Yi, the Duke of Shu, and Princess Rongshou Chang, they could not raise questions in person, but they could not hide the contempt and disdain in their eyes in private.
The two daughters-in-law of Princess Rongshou were hiding in the eyes of everyone, not daring to raise their heads. They were not willing to marry the daughter-in-law of their family to a bastard. Even if the bastard was now very successful in the court, the Duke's Palace
They are different titles from the Marquis Mansion, and there is a difference between high and low, not to mention the difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine. This legitimate daughter is also a princess with a title from the imperial court!
But this decision was made by the parents-in-law. They did not dare to refute it and could not refute it. They could only suppress their embarrassment and stand in the field, supporting their mother-in-law.
Princess Rongshou Chang was not unaware of the comments around her. She twirled the string of Buddhist beads in her hand and kept her eyes on Yi Fang's face. She saw Yi Fang's eyes flickering and there was a faint look of worry on his face.
The old eldest princess smiled calmly and said lightly: "I wonder if your Majesty can give me this face."
Old body!
Anger suddenly arose in Yifang's heart. From "my palace" to "me" and then to "Lao Shen", the eldest princess in the royal family kept changing her titles. It seemed that she was becoming more humble, but in fact she was giving her a secret treatment.
The pressure forced her to agree to the marriage!
What a consummation, what a gift of marriage, choosing to bring this marriage to the table at this time, not looking for Xia Jie, ignoring the wife's comments, being aggressive towards her, and refusing to let go, it is clear that he wants this marriage to be settled immediately! When will they?
Give her a choice.
But why!
These people thought that marrying the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Shu to her brother meant that they were marrying off. They showed their intention to join forces with her, so she should accept it happily!
But they guessed wrong. From the very beginning when she entered the palace, Dou Yifang sacrificed all her dignity, wiped out her joys and sorrows, and all her conscience, just to make a smooth path for herself and her family. She tried her best
, to make all her fantasies about love come to nothing, does she still have to sacrifice her brother's happiness?
No, never!
Daughter, concubine, Duke of Shu, Princess Rongshou, I, Dou Yifang, cannot bear this kind of love, and my brother cannot bear it either!
Yifang's heart was filled with rage. She raised her eyes, and for the first time her eyes showed sharpness. When she saw Princess Rongshou's clear smile, her eyes were silent and silent, as if she was suddenly unaware of her anger at the moment.
Suddenly he laughed.
Okay, it seems that I have really made up my mind. I really can't openly refuse you at this time, but I don't believe that with my current status, I can't use it. What's more, Xia Jie, that superior person.
The emperor may not necessarily be able to agree to the marriage of the important ministers and powerful ministers he will cultivate. As long as I delay today, someone will naturally help me solve this problem.
After asking for ideas, Yifang's heart slowly calmed down. She turned her eyes and lingered on the faces of the wives who were whispering and talking in low voices. Her subtle hints soon made the ladies understand and knew that she was
Shocked by the news, they actually forgot where they were. They lost their dignity and pretended to be casual. They straightened their faces and sat quietly in their seats again. However, everyone's face was still full of concern about this matter.
I'm curious as to how this will be done.
Yi Fang collected everyone's expressions in his eyes one by one, and suddenly covered his lips and smiled softly, with a trace of coquettishness in his eyes, "My aunt's words are really a great honor for my brother. However, the day before yesterday, my brother said mother
My mother has already chosen a marriage for him, and I didn’t have time to ask him at that time. The lady from whose family happened to suit his wishes. If I went beyond my family and arranged a marriage for my brother at this time, I’m afraid I would be a bit overreaching.
It’s a shame.”
Princess Rongshou Chang did not expect that Yifang would bring out flowers and use the word "filial piety" to pressure people. This statement is really hard to fault. Moreover, it is said that they have not yet asked whose noble daughter they are.
They can't go to inquire and verify. Even if they know that with Concubine Yi's current favor, no matter which family they talk about, they will only cooperate with Concubine Yi and will not openly smear Concubine Yi's face. As for going to find Concubine Yi
His mother-in-law, Mrs. Hua, asked, which is even more impossible!
So, no matter what, this excuse is really good.
Princess Rongshou Chang's face changed. Thinking of the current situation of the Duke of Shu, she looked on coldly at the emperor's determination to eradicate the influence of the family. She gritted her teeth and decided to let this marriage happen for the sake of her children and grandchildren, even if she had to risk her old face.
Having decided today, he changed his smile and was about to say more, but was stopped by Yifang who stopped him.
"Let's do this. I will choose a day to ask for a favor from the emperor, and call my mother in to ask, and then I will make plans. What does my aunt think?" Yifang smiled like a spring breeze, and said with great regret on his face: "Actually, I
Gong also really wants Princess Rui and Princess to be my sister-in-law, but I don’t know if my brother is so lucky."
Yifang's words were extremely polite, but in the final analysis, he was still recommending this marriage. How could the wives of the clan not understand that while they were disdainful of the Duke of Shu, they were also looking for a good show.
mean.
He took the initiative to marry off his legitimate daughter to his concubine, but was rejected by others. Once such a thing spreads, I am afraid that the Duke of Shu will no longer have a foothold.
Princess Rongshou's two daughters-in-law turned red and trembled with anger. They looked up at Yifang with hateful eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, they were spotted by Princess Rongshou and shouted back with sharp eyes.
, bowed his head and said nothing.
At this point, Princess Rongshou already understood that the matter could not be discussed any more today. Concubine Yi first mentioned a filial son, and then named the emperor. If she talked about it again, she would only break her face. But Concubine Yi,
The Duke of Shu never wanted to offend her. It seemed that she underestimated Concubine Yi and became a little anxious. She sighed in her heart and forced a smile and said: "In that case, I will be waiting for your concubine's good news."
Yifang heard the intention of not wanting to give up in Princess Rongshou Chang's words, with a calm face and an apologetic smile, she apologized softly: "Don't worry, my aunt, once the palace and the Douhou Mansion have discussed it, we will definitely make it as soon as possible."
Informed you."
The matter stopped there, but Yifang did not miss the livid expressions on the two daughters-in-law of Princess Rongshou. She sneered in her heart, feeling that being rejected by her was shameless. Have they ever thought about plotting against her brother and plotting against her like this?
, forced in front of everyone, and when did she give her face?
