Chapter 244 Moving into Changguo Duke’s Mansion (Part 1)
Chrysanthemum viewing pavilion.
The sun was already setting in the west. Wen Baniang and Wen Shisanniang had already returned, but Mrs. Chang Guogong was not here.
Little Mrs. Lu was a little unhappy, "Your aunt has gone to change clothes. She has been there for most of an hour!" - Little Mrs. Lu was not left alone. Mrs. Xu called her two daughters-in-law to entertain little Mrs. Lu.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Xu, and the second daughter-in-law, Shen.
Mrs. Lu was very dissatisfied with such a reception lineup. Even if the county owner was not pregnant and had a delicate body, she would still have to ask the Xin family from the Marquis Mansion to entertain her, right?
At this moment, Wen Ruyu looked nervous but could not hide her excitement. She wanted to tell little Lu that she had met the emperor, but she couldn't tell her clearly in front of the two eldest sisters-in-law, so she had to hold it back for the time being.
Wen Ruzhu looked extremely unhappy. Although someone later changed into shiny new clothes because of her, Wen Ruzhu did not forget how embarrassed she was when she was kicked out of Tuxiang Pavilion.
"Why have you changed your clothes?" Little Lu looked at Wen Ruzhu's clothes with a look of displeasure.
Wen Ruzhu could only say: "The little girl down there accidentally soiled my daughter's clothes, so she just went to the water pavilion to change them."
The eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Xu, said: "Which girl is it? I will teach her a lesson later."
Facing the princess of the palace, Wen Ruzhu was obedient and gentle, "It doesn't matter, that girl didn't do it on purpose."
At this moment, Mrs. Xu returned to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Pavilion. Little Lu immediately suppressed her resentment and raised her smile.
Mrs. Xu glanced at Wen Ruyu and Wen Ruzhu: "The girls are all back."
Little Lu said: "Hey? Yu'er, where did your twelfth sister go?"
Wen Ruyu shook her head.
Wen Ruzhu was in a bad mood, so she smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Twelve may have lost her way."
Mrs. Xu said calmly: "How can you get lost in your own backyard? The report below said that the twelfth girl sprained her foot. I have sent someone to send her to the side hospital for medicine."
After saying that, Mrs. Xu looked at Little Lu: "It's getting late today. Twelve Niang's injuries are serious. If she moves randomly, she may get more injured. Why don't we just leave her here to recuperate.
"
Little Mrs. Lu didn't care what happened to Wen Twelve at all, but she still had a loving look on her face: "This child has always been well-behaved and cautious. Why is he so careless today? I really need to worry about you. I'll wait until the injury is healed.
Call someone to pick you up immediately."
Mrs. Xu didn't know whether it was okay or not, so she turned around and told Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Shen: "Please give the eldest wife and you two girls a good send-off for me."
Little Lu knew that this was to chase away guests, but she was not satisfied with showing any dissatisfaction, so she had to say politely: "Today is really annoying."
Wen Ruyu, Wen Ruzhu and Guaiguai Qiaoqiao said goodbye, just like the ladies of the world.
Back at Uncle Yan En's Mansion, Mrs. Lu impatiently dismissed Wen Ruzhu, and then backed away. Then she showed a look of distress: "Ms. Xu is lukewarm, so I'm afraid she might not be able to help."
Wen Ruyu finally couldn't help but said: "Mother, I saw the emperor!"
"What?" Little Mrs. Lu couldn't believe it for a moment.
Wen Ruyu lowered her voice and said, "It's in the Tuxiang Pavilion where the Xian Sheng Queen lived in the past. The Emperor is inside."
"Seriously?!" Mrs. Lu couldn't help but be overjoyed. She didn't expect that her daughter would have such good fortune! It seems that the master's destiny as the head of the country is about to come true for Yu'er!
Mrs. Lu hurriedly called her mother-in-law in, "Go and ask the master to come over. Tell me there is great news!"
Wen Ruyu's expression froze. What kind of "great news" is this? The emperor doesn't want to see her at all!
But at this moment, Wen Ruyu didn't have the shame to say that she was expelled from Tuxiang Pavilion by the emperor, especially when Wen Li came to the main room with a fragrant face and an impatient look. Needless to say, he probably came from Aunt Bai's house.
Comes from inside.
Xiao Lu suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Master, our Yu'er is very lucky!"
"What great blessing?" Wen Li's old face wrinkled, looking very unhappy.
Wen Ruyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "My daughter met the emperor by chance in Tuxiang Pavilion of the Duke's mansion."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Li was overjoyed and said, "Seriously? Does the Emperor like you?!"
Wen Ruyu's face froze.
Little Lu smiled and said: "Sir, if you ask this question, how do you answer Yu'er? She is a lady of our family."
After saying that, Mrs. Lu held Wen Ruyu's hand in a gentle voice, "Yu'er, there's no need to be shy. There's no one else here. Talk to your father and mother quickly. What did the emperor say to you?"
Wen Ruyu lowered her head and whispered: "I just said a few words casually and then withdrew. The emperor... was very majestic, and my daughter was a little scared."
Wen Li said angrily: "What's there to be afraid of? The emperor is still your brother-in-law, so just say hello to him openly!"
Little Lu smiled broadly: "Anyway, it's a great blessing to be able to see the emperor! The three girls all went, but Yu'er was the only one who saw the emperor and talked to him. It can be seen that Yu'er was destined by fate.
I can bring honor to my master!"
Wen Li stroked his beard: "Madam had the foresight and did not marry Yu'er so early. Now it can be seen that such a good marriage is never too late!" - Yes, if the emperor wants to marry, he must marry a direct daughter of the Wen family.
Although Ruzhu is more beautiful, she is a concubine after all. Even if she enters the palace, she will only be a concubine. But Yu'er is different! This is the apple of my eye, the direct descendant of my uncle Yan En!
Wen Ruyu only felt guilty and panicked, but she had no shame to tell the truth, so she had to acquiesce to her mother's exaggeration. But then she thought about it, yes, Wen Ruchu and Wen Ruzhu also went to the palace, one sprained his foot, and the other got dirty
She took off her clothes and met the emperor alone! Isn't this a blessing destined by God? Thinking of this, Wen Ruyu blushed instantly.
Little Lu smiled and said, "Master, stop talking, we Yu'er are all so embarrassed."
At this moment, the Changguo Palace, across two long streets, was indeed unusually quiet.
As night fell, Duke Wen Qi of the State of Chang respectfully sent away the emperor who was in disguise, and then returned to the courtyard of his wife, Mrs. Xu.
After the screen retreated, Mrs. Xu said: "I have arranged the Twelve Mothers in Danruo Garden in the east."
Wen Qi nodded. Danruo Garden is a separate courtyard in the mansion used to entertain distinguished guests. These twelve mothers...from now on, they are extraordinary and noble people. "Arrange a well-behaved and sensible maid to serve you."
These days, food, clothing, food and clothing are all according to your and my own expenses."
Mrs. Xu was slightly surprised: "That's it?"
Wen Qi sighed: "The emperor asked someone to pass a message to me. The first is to find an excuse to keep the twelve mothers in our house. Madam has already done a good job in this. The emperor also wants a second oral message - to find a way.
Bring the Twelfth Mother into our lap."
Mrs. Xu's expression changed dramatically: "What are we doing? That is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion! Your Majesty, this is..."
Wen Qi nodded, "The status of the Twelve Mothers... will not be lower. She is either a concubine Shu or a noble concubine."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's nose felt sore and her eye circles were moist, "Tutu was just a noble concubine when she was alive."
Thinking of his daughter who died young, Wen Qi was also heartbroken, "Tutu is a sage queen, and the eldest prince is also the prince. The emperor values love and righteousness. Now that Tutu has passed away for more than three years, the emperor is now going to accept her again."
It is a great honor for our Wen family and our house to have the Wen family's daughter enter the palace."
Wen Qi said sincerely: "The emperor specially gave this honor to our palace. What a great favor it is. Madam, treat Twelve Mother well. When she enters the palace in the future, she will take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the second princess."
"
Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "I understand what you mean, sir." Having an aunt in the palace to take care of her in the future can always make people feel a little more at ease.
"But...I'm afraid the eldest master won't agree." Mrs. Xu even said that Uncle Yan En was greedy. Even if Twelve Niang was not as good as Eight Niang and her appearance was not as good as Thirteen Niang's, Yan En Bo would not let her go easily.
Wen Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I will solve this matter."
