Chapter 97 No one can take over my position as the head wife
Shen Lianyi walked in front, ostensibly enjoying the beautiful scenery around her, but in fact she did not miss the conversation between Chaoli and Linglong.
However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she was thinking about whether the plan she had in mind on the boat was feasible.
As for Linglong, who was well-known in the capital and had superb chess skills, Shen Lianyi had of course seen it before, but she was too jealous of Linglong's beauty, and Linglong didn't take the initiative to talk to her, so Shen Lianyi didn't say hello to her.
Not long after walking, everyone arrived at the center of the lake.
Chaoli was thinking about things at the moment, so he didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding scenery. The things in his heart were more important, and the scenery would not run away.
"Ali, look, white peacock."
Song Lingxin pulled Chaoli away, pointed not far away.
Chaoli came back to his senses and looked where Song Lingxin pointed.
There is a small puddle in the center, about one meter in size. There is a piece of land surrounded by fishing nets, which is more than 20 meters long and wide. There are fishing nets even on the top of the head, which are supported by bamboo poles.
In the net, there are six white peacocks with pure white bodies, unvaried feathers and light red eyes. One of them is stronger than the other five.
Chaoli has seen some records in the manuscripts. In fact, the white peacock has underdeveloped wings and is not good at flying. Its legs are strong and powerful, and it is good at running. When fleeing, it mostly takes long strides. It usually looks for food in the early morning and dusk.
So the fishing nets above them may not be of great use, they should be just in case.
"That white peacock is quite blessed, and he has five wives and concubines." Linglong suddenly said.
Chaoli knew that white peacocks are polygamous birds. Each male bird lives with about five females. After hearing Linglong's words, her eyes flashed with ridicule.
"The same is true for all men in the world. They eat from the bowl and look at the food from the pot, and have wives and concubines in groups." Chaoli snorted coldly.
Sure enough, she just didn't like birds like white peacocks, and she was not as devoted as lovebirds.
Lovebirds have only one mate in their life. Male and female birds are often inseparable and extremely loyal to their mates. If one of them dies, the other will die soon because of missing their mate.
Even if it doesn't die, it will never have a partner by its side.
"The words of the Crown Princess are just here to talk about. Fortunately, everyone here is a woman. If a man hears about it and spreads it, he will be a little rebellious, not to mention that you are still married." Linglong's face was full of teasing, "But the Crown Prince has not Concubine, you have been married for less than three months, what are you worried about?"
Chaoli looked indifferent, "I'm not worried. If the prince wants to take a concubine, I won't be displeased at all. Marrying the prince is a high achievement for me, and I never thought that he would be able to keep me alone for the rest of my life. Hou The palace must continue to produce heirs. However, no one can snatch my position as the head wife, and the Queen Mother’s gift of marriage is here.”
After saying that, Chao Liyi glanced at Shen Lianyi pointedly.
Of course Shen Lianyi knew what Chaoli meant and understood that she said it deliberately, so she could only grit her teeth secretly.
Linglong smiled heartily and was someone who didn't take things too seriously. She came close to Chaoli and started to get angry.
"The Crown Princess is right. The Queen Mother personally granted you the marriage. How can the crooked melons and dates outside compare to you? However, I heard that the relationship between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince did not seem to be that good before marriage. After marriage, it will be better. A little more. Also, some people say that the Crown Prince seems to be very close to Miss Shen, and even saved Miss Shen who was injured in Hanye Temple. Wouldn’t the Crown Prince feel uncomfortable in her heart?" Linglong said with a smile.
Hearing what Linglong said, the other ladies all looked at her with some disapproval. Even if it was something that everyone knew well, they shouldn't bring it up directly on the table.
Now that the two parties involved are here, wouldn't it make people uncomfortable for no reason?
Song Lingxin originally admired Linglong's appearance, but when she heard her words, she felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, and she no longer even cared about her appearance.
"Miss Linglong doesn't know something. The crown prince and Miss Shen are innocent and have no relationship at all. As for A Li, it was indeed the Queen Mother who granted the marriage. This cannot be false. Some people try their best to become the crown prince's concubine, but in the end they are just bamboo baskets. Fetching water is all in vain." Song Lingxin snorted coldly.
Shen Lianyi was furious after hearing this, and the words of Chao Li and Song Lingxin were like sharp arrows piercing her heart.
There is also Linglong, who always starts fights for her and offends both parties. This mouth is really annoying.
"Miss Linglong is just joking. As Miss Song said, there is really nothing between me and the Crown Prince. The past contact was just because of friends. I believe the Crown Prince will not misunderstand." Shen Lianyi said with a smile.
It's just that there is always a bit more hypocrisy in this smile.
"Oh, it turns out I misunderstood." Linglong nodded.
This episode passed quickly, and everyone spent the rest of the time having fun.
Chaoli and Gao Rui were together, Song Lingxin accompanied several other ladies, Shen Lianyi still took the maid to enjoy it alone, and the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.
As for what was said just now, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again.
The scenery on the island in the center of the lake is beautiful and not too big. An hour and a half is enough for a visit. You can only go back to the boat for lunch.
When the ladies are playing, the maids follow them from a distance, but they will not disturb their elegance.
As far as the pomp and circumstance of today's outing was concerned, Chaoli brought two maids, Song Lingxin and others brought one, but Shen Lianyi brought six maids. It seemed that his family was undoubtedly rich.
Now everyone is going back to the Huafang for lunch. It is not prepared on the Huafang, but there is a charcoal stove on the Huafang to heat the dishes.
Today's lunch is prepared by each lady and can be enjoyed after it is heated on the charcoal stove.
As for why he didn't go back to the shore to eat, the main reason was Gao Rui's suggestion that eating on the boat felt different, even the food was much more fragrant, and it was easier to eat with the beautiful scenery.
This is true, the scenery is beautiful and people’s mood is much better.
Shen Lianyi came here halfway, so she didn't prepare a meal. In addition, there were seven of her, so no one invited her to have a meal at the moment.
"Prince Princess, you might as well go and sit on my boat. I happen to have some things to discuss with you. Is it convenient for you?" Linglong suddenly approached Chaoli and asked.
Chaoli's expression moved slightly, his eyes full of suspicion.
"What does Miss Linglong want to say to me? I don't seem to have a close relationship with the girl. We only had a casual relationship before, so there should be nothing to say." Chaoli refused.
Maybe she thought too much, but she always felt that Linglong was not simple.
This woman is hard to see through, she speaks and does things without scruples, which is different from Gao Rui's frankness.
Overall, it's better to be careful.
"Prince Princess, don't be like this. Getting to know each other is always a process. Don't you want to know the spices for the palace banquet?"
