On the third day after Wen Xiaotu returned to the palace, her two daughters returned to the palace together to "stay" for a short time. They announced to the outside world that they had not greeted her for a long time and came to the palace to serve them specially to fulfill their filial piety.
Just because Jinshu Fengweng returned to Beijing to visit a doctor a while ago, and found out that Princess Zhuang Yi was pretending to be ill. She was really angry, so she roped in her cousin and adopted sister and went to the palace together.
It just so happens that today is also the day when the Crown Princess decides to give favors to her two concubines. The Huang family and the Bai family are both granted the title of Feng Yi. Although Feng Yi is the lowest among the Crown Prince's concubines, they are still in the seventh rank anyway, so they should have the title of Feng Yi.
The process still needs to be in place.
Jinshu and Ruoyu didn't know about this at first. They went to the East Palace just to visit the prince's younger brother and the prince's younger brother's eldest son. Unexpectedly, they joined in the fun.
However, the two of them did not attend the small banquet in the East Palace and soon returned to Fengyi Palace.
"That Huang Yanxin is actually the maid of the Yi family. She is quite charming, but that white embroidered dress is even more beautiful and graceful. She is slim and slender, and is quite charming. My little brother is so lucky!" What happened to Jin Shu?
He opened his mouth and took a pomegranate from the enamel stem plate and ate it.
Ruoyu has also become accustomed to Jin Shu calling the prince "stinky brother". She smiled and said: "The prince is the crown prince after all, so it is not a big deal to have more concubines." At the same time, she was glad again that she did not shamelessly enter the East Palace and ask for help.
otherwise……
Although Mrs. Xiangyang Marquis was a troublesome mother-in-law, fortunately her husband was supportive of her, smoothed things over for her, and personally sent her to the palace to "recuperate."
While they were talking and laughing, someone from the palace came in and reported, "The Crown Princess has come to pay her respects."
Wen Xiaotu was startled. He was afraid that something happened just after he finished his work. Today was not a day to say hello every five days. He guessed that there was something wrong, so he hurriedly called in.
The Yi family is extremely graceful, and she is even more stunningly beautiful in her brocade clothes. "My son, I would like to send my regards to my mother, the queen."
After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Yi exchanged greetings with the princess and princess, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has often said that it would be great if the princess and princess could stay in the palace for a longer period of time."
The Yi family was beautiful and well-spoken. Jinshu and Ruoyu naturally smiled and chatted with them.
Wen Xiaotu was wondering if this Yi family just came to visit and had no other purpose?
At this moment, Yi Shi suddenly blessed her body again, "Mother, Queen Mother, it has been almost two years since I joined the Eastern Palace. I have not done well before and I have let you down."
Wen Xiaotu smiled happily and said, "It's good if you can figure it out."
Yi Shi lowered her eyebrows and said gently and modestly: "My son knows that his talents are mediocre and his temper is not calm enough, but he will remember his lessons. I also ask the Queen Mother to teach me more."
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself, it seems that the wet nurse before was really bad and always instigated her. Now that she has been kicked out, won't the Yi family improve immediately?
Yi Shi paused for a moment, then said cautiously: "But I know that the Queen Mother is very busy and has to take care of His Highness the Third Highness. So, if the Queen Mother has no time to spare, can I let my son learn from Concubine Shu?"
After hearing this, Wen Xiaotu was stunned for a moment, and then he instantly understood that this was not about learning how to be a princess, but about learning how to be in power...
Before Wen Xiaotu could say anything, Jin Shu's face had already darkened, "What does the Crown Princess mean by this?!" - The queen mother didn't give her palace rights, but she actually asked for it herself?!
Yi's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned. The second princess was the biological sister of the Crown Prince's first mother, so why not only did she not help her, but she instead helped her stepmother, the little Queen Wen?
Mrs. Yi hurriedly knelt down to Wen Xiaotu and said, "I just want to share my worries for my mother and the queen."
Jinshu was so angry that his nose was crooked. He really wanted the palace power! What kind of wife did the smelly brother, a bastard who only cares about looks, marry? Jinshu originally had a good impression of Yi. After all, she was a great beauty. As long as she didn't do anything
Demon, who would hate someone who is pleasing to the eye?
Jin Shu said unceremoniously: "If the Crown Princess really wants to take care of her mother's worries, she should come more often to greet her and serve her, and show her filial piety!"
Yi frowned, the second princess actually turned towards her stepmother?! This shouldn't happen, could it be... was it because of what Du said from the side that made the second princess dissatisfied with her?
Yi's heart trembled, and she hurriedly defended: "It is the rule set by the Queen Mother to ask for greetings every five days."
Wen Xiaotu smiled: "The last time the Crown Princess came to pay her respects was three days ago." But it wasn't even the fifth day yet.
Yi's fair and jade-like face flushed, "My son, I asked my mother to make the decision because I have something to do." The Crown Princess learned to take care of palace affairs, as she should! She has been married to the Crown Prince for almost two years.
!
Jin Shu said angrily: "So, you have something to ask for, that's why you came to ask for help?!"
Yi's pretty face turned slightly blue, and she bit her lip, "When I entered the East Palace, I asked myself that I would never be disrespectful to the second princess." - But the second princess embarrassed her at every turn because of a companion! Second Princess
The princess was just born a little earlier than the Crown Prince, yet she was admonished like an elder sister like a mother... Mrs. Yi couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
Jin Shu said with a dark face: "But you are disrespectful and unfilial to your mother!" I even criticized my stinky younger brother, but you are the only one who can't say that?! I really think that I am so beautiful that the whole world has to coax me.
You spoil me!
Yi's face turned pale in an instant, "Princess, please be careful what you say! When did I become disrespectful to the Queen Mother? As for neglecting to say hello, I just followed the Queen Mother's instructions!" After saying that, Yi Shi directly gathered her clothes and knelt down,
"If the mother-in-law needs her sons and ministers to take care of themselves every morning and dusk, and serve them morning and evening, the sons and ministers will not hesitate to do so."
Jin Shu pouted, "Do you need extra instructions for this kind of thing?! That's what you should do in the first place!"
Wen Xiao had a big headache. She hated things like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law the most, so she said: "I appreciate the Crown Princess's kindness, but I like to be quiet. In addition, if the Crown Princess really wants to learn about palace affairs, of course she can
It's a good thing, I will inform Concubine Shu and let her take the time to teach you."
Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." After all, her request was reasonable and the Queen Queen could not find a good reason to refuse.
"If the Queen Mother has no other instructions, I will leave first."
Mrs. Yi walked away neatly, but Jin Shu was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Mother, why did you agree to her?! You don't want to punish her for being unfilial, but you also want her to study palace affairs with Concubine Shu? Why?!"
Princess Wen Xian on the side also sighed. The Crown Princess's temper was even worse than before... If this continues, there will probably be great turmoil in the East Palace.
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "If she wants to learn, let her learn. It wouldn't be a bad thing if Concubine Shu can really learn some housekeeping skills."
Jin Shu snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that before I can learn some skills, I will compete with Concubine Shu for the power of associate palace!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "Concubine Shu is not obsessed with power. She has long wanted to retire." After all, she is not young anymore and her status has come to an end. No matter how hard she works, she cannot become a noble concubine.
Jin Shu's face was still full of resentment, "This Yi family, apart from her face, what else is there to like about her?" - I must scold my stinking brother severely when I turn around! Look at your wife, you don't care about her!
