Those who are favored are always confident. Wen Yao has also tasted the feeling of being favored. It is really good. Wen Wen works hard to please his brother and elders, and what he wants is this preference.
However, she has evil intentions, is selfish and vicious, and hurts the people who love her in order to achieve her goals. Wen Yao believes that if Nuan Nuan continues to do this, she will suffer the consequences sooner or later.
Finally, it was the day before Chinese Valentine's Day, and the Queen was reasonable and went a day early so as not to delay the ladies' dates with their lovers on Chinese Valentine's Day, which attracted a burst of praise.
Wen Yao prepared simple and elegant clothes, and the jewelry was mainly made of jade and jade, which was just right.
It's just that someone suddenly came from Prince Jing's Mansion. More than a dozen servants carried red lacquer trays and covered them with silk satin, and delivered them to Wenyao's courtyard.
"The old princess told me, let's dress beautifully, in bright red and green. We don't have to be so plain. You must choose one of these clothes. This is my granddaughter-in-law's first appearance. You can't lose her."
Face."
After grandma finished speaking, Wen Yao didn't know what to say. She opened the tray and found a set of skirts with bright colors and high-end fabrics in front of her. The corner of Wen Yao's mouth twitched. Is it too fancy?
She had never worn such gorgeous colors in her life, including goose yellow, tender pink, water red, emerald green, moon white, and large flowers embroidered with gold and silver threads. She felt like she was wearing something in a garden.
Mammy's surname is Xue. She is the eldest aunt who has served the old princess all her life and has the most trust from the old princess.
"Miss, the princess has said that she will be angry if you don't wear it. She personally went to the clothes inspection department to select it. All the ladies in the palace want it, but the old princess blackmailed her into it."
Wen Yao smiled, showing the old man's concern, and nodded: "I will definitely wear it, thank you Princess for your concern."
"That's right. We don't have many masters in Prince Jing's palace, but they are all noble and proud. You don't need to care about what those people who don't know what they say are like it. If the old princess and the princess like it, it's useless for anyone to say it."
"I understand, thank you, mama."
These clothes attracted several younger sisters to come and look at them. Wen Wen was sensible, and after suffering repeated losses, he avoided Wen Yao and left.
Without her, the sisters chatted happily.
Cousin Wen Yuan said with envy: "Sister, Prince Jing's Mansion is so kind to you. I also want to find such a good in-laws!"
The remaining sisters are all concubines, and they don't dare to say anything like Wen Yuan, but they all have the same thoughts. Who doesn't want to have a good husband's family from a girl's family?
Wen Yao smiled: "You're not bad, wait until eldest sister pays more attention and finds you a good in-law. Second aunt knows that you hate getting married so much, so she wants to pinch your ears again."
"I'm not afraid. Adults are all so conflicted. She is the one who desperately wants to find a husband for me, and she is the one who doesn't want me to get married."
Wen Yuan smiled. Girls of sixteen or seventeen are at their best age. They are looking forward to and excited about their future husband-in-law and family.
Wen Nuan marries well, her whole person is glowing, and she sets a good example for her sisters.
After laughing and joking for a while, they did not disturb Wen Yao much. They had to prepare early for entering the palace. There were many things that needed to be done.
After they left, Zhiqin asked someone to pack their clothes. Suddenly a maid exclaimed: "Oh no, why is this pink gauze dress torn?"
Wen Yao's face darkened, and she picked it up and looked at it. There was a long scratch on the hem of the skirt, like a hairpin scratching it. Good clothes were ruined in this way.
Zhiqin felt extremely distressed: "This is tribute material that even money can't buy. How could it be broken?"
Wen Yao asked: "Who was closest to this dress just now?"
Women are jealous by nature, but some people have a bottom line. Let the jealousy pass. Wen Yuan is not jealous, but it is more of envy. After being envious and jealous, she regulates her emotions and becomes more determined to get along well with her elder sister. She will not be stupid.
This sisterly bond has been ruined.
Several maids looked at each other, and one of them said: "I remember that the fourth lady was the closest, and she even touched her."
Fourth Miss? Wen Qian?
Wen Yao said: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, and pay more attention in the future."
"Slave, please obey."
This matter was neither a big deal nor a small matter. Wen Yao was more cautious in doing things. She had an intuition that her marriage to Prince Jing's Mansion would not go well, as there were really internal and external troubles.
The next morning, Wen Yao got up early, took a shower and changed clothes, put on light makeup, and chose a long water-red dress embroidered with white magnolia flowers, paired with a jade-white cloak, which made her look more cute and cute, but less powerful.
It meets the current society’s requirements for women.
When Wen Yao went out, the Wen family came to see her off, which made Wen Yao dumbfounded: "I just went to the banquet, and you all came to see me off. It seems that I am traveling far away. Let's go back."
Wen Zhao: "Sister, there are strict rules in the palace, so be careful."
Wen Yao nodded: "I understand."
Wen Zhao was cold and polite. He smiled bitterly. He didn't offend his eldest sister. He felt so wronged and sad.
Wen Chen and Wen Ze watched from a distance, but neither came close to them. They knew that their eldest sister didn't like to see them.
Wen Chen hugged his younger brother's shoulders: "What a bastard, the eldest sister ignored me. You have been loved by the eldest sister the most since you were a child. When I was a child, I was jealous of you eating the food cooked by the eldest sister herself, and even clamored to steal it from you. In exchange for
After a beating, why don’t you come closer to my eldest sister?”
"I want you to take care of it?"
Wen Ze rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm going back to read, so don't bother me."
"What books are you reading? You don't need to take the imperial examination. Do you want to be a nerd like my second brother?"
Wenze: "It's better to be a nerd than to cause trouble for you, right?"
"Hey, it's murder and heart-wrenching. I already know my mistake, and you still say it!"
…
The Wen family's carriage was blocked halfway, and Yuanhua waved to her: "Come with us, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
There was Yuan Rui in the carriage. He wanted to be alone with Wen Yao, but he was worried about damaging her reputation, so he had to bring his sister as a tool every time.
"Okay, thank you. Yuan Rui, do you also want to enter the palace?"
Yuanhua sneered, "You pretend, keep pretending, don't you really know? I saw my brother writing you a letter a few days ago. You two almost get tired of being together all day long. How can my brother not tell you such a big thing?
you?"
Wen Yao blushed and said angrily: "Sister Huahua, if you see through it but don't tell me, you will have no friends."
Yuanhua: "I don't need friends, my sister-in-law is enough."
Wen Yao: "..."
She lost.
Yuan Rui watched them making trouble with a smile on his face. One was his sister and the other was his wife. They were the most important people to him.
Yuanhua was bored in the car, so she asked Yuan Rui: "Yaoyao and I fell into the water together, who do you want to save first?"
Yuan Rui: "Sister, are you free again? If you are in the mood, find a brother-in-law and let him save you."
Yuanhua's mood immediately worsened, "Don't use the word brother-in-law. I can suspect that you dislike me and want to kick me out?"
Yaoyao, just take care of him. If you have a wife and don’t want a sister, my life will be so miserable!"
Yingying wiped her eyes and said softly, "Wipe some saliva and act more realistically."
Yuan Rui laughed loudly, his sister finally met her nemesis.
…
They separated as soon as they entered the palace. Yuan Rui and the male guests were all princes, princes of various houses, and heirs at the top of the entire dynasty.
The queen is sitting on the throne, accompanied by the most favored concubines in the harem. Emperor Xianqing is old and has not chosen a concubine for more than ten years. He occasionally adds a few newcomers, so there are few things in the harem.
The eyes of the courtiers all fell on the prince and several princes. King Xuan and King Li had ambitions, but they were too ambitious to shake the status of the prince. The court was stable and there were no big storms.
The only major event is the case of Duke Liang. There is evidence of collaborating with the enemy, but it is too little. Many people are complaining about Duke Liang. Whether Liang Guogong can escape this disaster depends on the emperor's thoughts.
Now that Old King Jing and Princess Xue are back, they are supporting the Duke of Liang. A loyal minister should not be wronged. There is no conclusive evidence. Anyone who wants to touch Duke Liang must also ask the two old men if they agree to prevent the villain's frame-up.
.
The emperor's attitude is unclear, and he can only make a decision after Liang Guogong comes to Beijing and interrogates him.
Wen Yao can no longer participate in these things. Fortunately, Liang Guogong and his family are all well, and they are lucky that they did not die tragically on the way back from being escorted.
At this time in the previous life, Duke Liang was killed, and Wen Yao did not dare to think how sad Yuan Rui and Yuan Hua would be, which was also the fuse that caused the death of Princess Jing.
She calmed down her emotions and entered the main hall, not daring to raise her head, and knelt down to salute: "Wen Yao, the daughter of the common people, is here to see the empress. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The queen raised her hand: "Raise your head and let me take a look."
"As commanded."
Wen Yao raised her head, lowered her eyes, and did not look directly at the Queen. Auntie had taught her not to look directly at the Queen without her permission. This was a great disrespect.
The queen said: "Sit down and give me a seat."
"Thank you, Queen."
The queen didn't say anything, but Hui Bin said: "I don't know what the world is like, but a Wen family member from the capital can not only become an imperial merchant, but also marry into the prince's palace. It is said that the Wen family has a powerful eldest lady. Today,
See, it’s really extraordinary.”
Wen Yao nodded: "Thank you, Empress Hui, for the compliment."
Hui concubine: "..."
Is this a compliment to you?
"You are quite discerning, and you know me."
Wen Yao: "Empress Hui Bin's nephew bullied others and was stabbed. If she hadn't met the apprentice of the ghost doctor, Empress Hui Bin would not be in such a good mood. Wen Yao is not talented, so she naturally knows it.
.”
Hui Bin said angrily: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten it. The suspicion of your younger brother has not been cleared yet. The murderer's sister deserves to show off her power in Kunning Palace."
Wen Yao's attitude has always been very good, "No, Wen Yao doesn't dare to be disrespectful at all. Wen Yao is sincerely frightened when he can see the Queen. Please remember your mother's teachings."
On the other hand, Empress Hui is very aggressive, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is showing off her power in front of the empress."
Yuanhua took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction. She is indeed my sister-in-law, Yuanhua. I can't help but dare to yell at my sister-in-law, even a so-called concubine.
She forgot that she didn't have a sister-in-law, and the Pang family had already held a banquet.
The queen glared at her displeased, and Hui Concubine quickly saluted: "Empress, my concubine did not disrespect your concubine. It was this merchant girl who was bold enough to slander my concubine."
