Wufangzhai, where Song Qingyue lived, was on the central axis of the East Road, very close to the Baoguang Hall of the Prince, and it was also the largest and most luxurious place in the backyard of the East Road.

Ning Yueyao's Yusheng lives in the east of the garden. To go to Wufangzhai, one has to walk through a pavilion, cross a bridge, circle the lake, and then pass through a long gallery.

The water in Fuchu Lake is fresh water imported from outside the city.

Going around the lake is the Cui Ti Xuan. Sandalwood has already inquired about it when she was taking a bath. There are two concubines who have never served here. .However, it is said that these two are now favored by the Crown Princess.

Going a little further, you will find the Wangyue Pavilion. Here lives a dancer brought back from the northwest by His Royal Highness. Although it is only a common room, she can live in a pavilion by herself, and it is so close to the front yard. It can be seen that she is a favorite. of.

The master and servant were talking in low voices all the way, and Wufangzhai arrived.

Mo Zhu and Mo Mei had been waiting outside for a long time, when they saw her coming, they went up to say hello.

Ning Yueyao's walking posture was very dignified and decent, she smiled and followed Mo Zhu and Mo Mei into the room.

There were already several people in the hall, but Song Qingyue hadn't come out yet, so those people got up and saluted her.

Mo Zhu introduced her one by one: "This is Miss Yan, this is Miss Shen, this is Miss Wei and Miss Zhou, this is Miss Xue, and Miss Shan. These are all concubines of His Highness."

Several people saluted her one after another: "My concubine greets the side concubine sister."

Ning Yueyao nodded one by one, they are all unfavorable, there is no need to bother to answer.

At this time, I saw another beautiful woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked quite exotic, came over and saluted her: "Servant, please greet the side concubine."

"This is Miss Li." Mo Zhu introduced.

"It's really beautiful." Ning Yueyao said with a smile.

"The side concubine is the beauty, and the servants are crude and humble, so I feel ashamed." Li Qiushui replied very humbly.

Tian Xuefang stood aside, looking jealously at Ning Yueyao, who is a lady of the Ming Dynasty, and was about to go up to pay her respects, when she heard a voice from outside the door: "I heard that the new sister Ning is a young lady from the general's family, and she will Horseback riding and archery, I really want to come and make friends."

The person who came was wearing a very bright orange dress, and had his hair in a high bun. His hair was so golden that it almost blinded people's eyes.However, she is tall, has a big frame, and is full of momentum, so she can hold down these clothes and jewelry.

"You...you are Princess Yunying?" Ning Yueyao was taken aback by Yunying's size.

"Well, who else could it be but me? The girls in the Great Zhou Dynasty all look like bean sprouts." Yunying looked Ning Yueyao up and down bluntly, with a look of suspicion: "You can pull it off like this." Bow?"

Ning Yueyao smiled: "The chief of the county does not dislike it, we can compete in the future."

Yun Ying snorted: "Just compare, don't cry when the time comes."

She couldn't even make a courtesy, and sat down swaggeringly.

Ever since she thought Li Zhao was not good enough, Yunying considered herself unlucky, stopped trying to curry favor with her titular husband, and began to show off completely, letting herself go, and the nuns didn't listen to a word.

She no longer pretends to be ostentatious, and does everything however she feels comfortable.

Ning Yueyao still saluted her before sitting down.

When everyone arrived, Song Qingyue finally came out.

As the weather got hotter, she began to wear light-colored clothes again. Today, she was wearing a cloudy blue linen dress, with a pearl gauze bezel covering her head. In the radiance, you can still see the intricate and delicate dark flowers inside.There are pearls and moonstones hanging on both sides of the waist, and the hair is also made of white jade, moonstones, cat's eyes, and pearls. It is more noble and graceful than what I saw at her birthday party last year. .

In fact, usually at such times, the main room will wear a red dress to town the venue. Ning Yueyao chose a silver red dress that is very similar to the red dress, just to be provocative and to demonstrate in front of the servants of the mansion Woolen cloth.She wanted everyone to know that Song San, a little bitch, couldn't hold her back.

However, it seems that Song Qingyue didn't pay much attention to this at all, in other words: she dismissed it.

Whether or not she can't hold back can be determined by a set of clothes. The cool color she wore today really vividly embodies the four words - do whatever you want.

Song Qingyue's appearance was a little longer than before, there was no white powder on her face, only a little red rouge was applied on her face, and her eyebrows and eyes were delicately and grandly drawn.

She always seems to have no white powder at all, she already has white skin, so she doesn't need it at all.

"Greetings to Shi Zifei." Everyone said.

Song Qingyue waved her hands and sat down, and said, "Have you all known each other before?" Everyone said they knew each other.

"Well, let's serve tea, I'm very busy, hurry up."

It's exactly the same as His Royal Highness Su Wang when she served tea by herself last year, she can be regarded as imitating it.Seeing that Song Qingyue didn't even bother to save face, Ning Yueyao felt proud.

After all, she was born as a concubine, look at this self-restraint, can't help it?

She stood up and asked neither humble nor overbearing: "Concubine Shizi, where is Your Highness Shizi?"

"Oh, he has a temporary errand today. When he came back at noon, he said that he would go out for a long trip, and he would come back in about ten days. He has already left, so let's have the banquet tonight, and we will give it to him when he comes back. Set a table."

"So suddenly?" Ning Yueyao was a little dazed, disappointed as if she had suddenly fallen from a height of meters.

Following her in disappointment were several concubines and Tian Xuefang.It was so easy to have a chance to meet His Royal Highness, but His Highness actually went out on business?

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Concubine, hurry up and serve tea, this concubine is busy. After I take you to see the princess, I will come back to do business." Song Qingyue became impatient again.

At this time, someone had already brought a mat. Although Ning Yueyao was not convinced, she was not hypocritical, and she knelt down to Song Qingyue with tea.

I have officially paid my respects to the concubine Shi Zi, she is the concubine of this mansion.But Ning Yue has to believe that success or failure is not a matter of time, she can still endure the things that should be endured, and kneeling this time will be like going to the grave.

Song Qingyue asked Nanny Bai to help her up, and then gave her a carefree meeting gift, she didn't even bother to say any grandiose words, and just asked everyone to leave.

When everyone went out, Yan Jiuwan and Shen Xiang would definitely not say anything to Ning Yueyao, but the salted fish duo was polite, and Shan Xiujuan's mind became active again, but after what happened last time , she didn't dare to act rashly anymore, and it was the same for Mrs. Xue, her injuries hadn't fully healed yet, she didn't dare to leave the room now, and no one wanted to talk to her.

It was Tian Xuefang who came over to talk to her.

But Ning Yueyao didn't like her at all, looked her up and down, and asked, "Who is this...?"

"My surname is Tian, ​​and the eldest son just took over this month. My grandma is the nanny of His Royal Highness King Su." Tian Xuefang said proudly.

Ning Yueyao didn't quite understand where her arrogance came from, so she muttered: "Nurse? I don't know what to say."

Now the sun is a little bit bright, Song Qingyue's skin is fair, and she is especially afraid of the sun. She took an umbrella and sat on the shoulder car, and took Ning Yueyao to the main courtyard of the middle road to meet the princess.

If it was not necessary, Song Qingyue would never want to meet Princess Xiaoning.Sure enough, when he arrived at Wangfei's territory, he was reprimanded by Wangfei before he even said a word.

At this time, she always pretended to be deaf and blind, and she responded to what the princess said, and only hoped that the princess could end it quickly.

Seeing that Song Qingyue didn't respond at all, the concubine was not interested in the training, she turned her head and smiled and beckoned Ning Yueyao to go over: "Yao'er, come to little aunt."

Then the two held hands and chatted affectionately.

Song Qingyue was too lazy to listen, and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is not feeling well, so I will go back first."

Xiao Ning said dissatisfiedly: "You are always sick, why don't you get better all the time, how can you spread the leaves for His Highness in the future? But you are still a jealous person, dominating the prince and not letting other people touch it, you Song Is this kind of tutoring at home?"

Song Qingyue smiled, and said with a very good temper: "Isn't Concubine Ning coming? Your Highness will have an heir soon, so don't worry about it. My daughter-in-law will leave first."

After all, she left unceremoniously, but Xiao Ning's face changed.

Of course she didn't like that Li Zhao had an heir so soon!The second son Li Yi doesn't have a son yet!Xiao Ning wished that Li Zhao's son would never have a son in this life, so it would be better for him to cut off his sons and grandchildren!

Ning Yueyao, who was being held by the concubine, gritted her molars, thinking that that little bitch Song San was really scheming, and he threw a thunder at him, which made people feel uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Ning didn't show much on her face, instead she was more cordial and enthusiastic, but looking at her attitude, those who didn't know thought that Ning Yueyao was not her niece, but her own daughter.

Coming out from the princess, Ning Yueyao was very tired, and acting was also very tiring, especially with someone like the little aunt.She was too lazy to stroll around the garden of the Wangfu, the weather was so hot that it was a bit unbearable, the powder on her face was about to turn into batter.After returning, she fanned her fan and said to Yun Xiang: "Go and ask if there is an ice basin, the weather is getting hotter and hotter."

Rue Xiang went out to ask about it and came back to report: "The steward said that the day is not up yet, and it will take another four days before there will be ice cubes, but he also said that if you need it, concubine, you can buy it for some money. The ones at Wufangzhai It was all bought by the Crown Princess herself with money."

Ning Yueyao's nose was almost crooked with anger: "She's an account manager. She pays for money and buys it. Doesn't she go in with her left hand and out with her right hand? Go and ask that manager if he looks down on me or deliberately makes things difficult for me? I don't believe it anymore. , it's so hot, I can't get ice cubes for a concubine!"

Yun Xiang looked at her daughter in embarrassment and dared not speak.

Sandalwood said: "Forget it, girl, isn't it just to spend some money, and we are not short of this money. If you are a newcomer, why should you have trouble with the management in the house?"

Ning Yueyao felt that what Sandalwood said was reasonable, suppressed her anger, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's buy it with silver."

His Royal Highness King Su attended the evening banquet.The dignified prince, since he returned to Beijing, his life has become more and more aggrieved. That brat Li Zhao is running around all over the world. As a father, he wants to help him entertain his wife.

What's the matter!

On the contrary, Song Qingyue changed her lazy and impatient look in her own room or in front of the princess, and behaved like a little quail in front of King Su, and called sister Ning to be affectionate with each mouthful, which was called a nasty one, really saving face Well done.

Ning Yueyao was in a daze the whole time, wondering if Song Qingyue had been possessed by something, they were two completely different people from the afternoon!
After the banquet was over, Ning Yueyao didn't even take off her clothes, she went to the wedding bed sprinkled with peanuts, red dates, and longan, stared at the top of the bed in a daze, she didn't care if there was something under her body.

This is very different from what she expected, everything is so different from what she expected.

The next day, Ning Yueyao woke up early, and instead of going to Song Qingyue's place to greet her, she went directly to the main courtyard of Princess Zhonglu.

In the main courtyard, the prince's concubine, Liangyuan, beauties, Dianyi, concubines, and other servants filled the whole room.

Ning Yueyao felt a little embarrassed and didn't understand why everyone came so early.

Ning Yueyao doesn't know that Princess Xiao Ning likes to show her presence by having morning meetings the most. Even if she doesn't show up, she still wants the big guys to come to her room to report every morning, and she will let the mother Make a note of the names of those who did not show up or were late.

If anyone was late or did not come, she would lose her temper.If anyone who is favored dares to die, even if Xiao Ning asks the mother-in-law to rush into her yard and beat her up, the prince will not care about it. It is the rule for a concubine to go to greet the wife in the morning.

The prince is such a ruthless man.

In King Su's mansion, it is a serious crime to disrespect a high-ranking person. Of course, it is not allowed for a high-ranking person to punish a low-ranking person without justification.

The mansion is full of King Su's eyeliner. No matter what everyone does, they can't escape the eyes of His Highness Su Wang. The prince never shows mercy when punishing people.

Everyone in this mansion is afraid of King Su, especially the concubine Xiao Ning. For some reason, she is particularly afraid of His Highness King Su. She dare not do any other evil things except to have a meeting.

Meng Yuyan sat on the side of Concubine Zhuang, and behind her stood the two concubines of the second son.

Ning Yueyao glanced at the room again, but she couldn't find Song Qingyue!

She curled her lips, walked in, sat on the seat vacated by Meng Yuyan, and said, "I haven't seen our Shizifei, why hasn't she come yet?"

Everyone turned to look at her like an idiot.

Ning Yueyao is surrounded by her own people now, without the nails placed by the concubine, she is indeed safe, but at the same time, she is not clear about the situation in the palace.

Those servants on the East Road generally have a good impression of Song Qingyue. The days of those in charge are not as good as before, but they can't help that Song Qingyue is arrogant when rewarding money, and ruthless when punishing. Now they respect and fear the concubine Shizi. For Yushengju's inquiries, they only answered some superficial questions, and they didn't say what they could not say.

Ning Yueyao was also too confident, thinking that she had been a companion student in the palace, and after staying for a while, she thought she knew everything about the palace. In fact, she hadn't been to the palace for several years. The Prince Su's Mansion, which has been peaceful for years, has undergone a lot of changes.

The servant brought tea, and Ning Yueyao took a sip gracefully, as if to show her identity, but when she raised her head, she found that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.

"What's wrong?" She asked in a low voice, turning her head to look at Meng Yuyan.

Meng Yuyan pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you inquire about it in advance when you came to the mansion? Our concubine never comes to pay her respects."

"What? Why didn't she come alone?!" Ning Yueyao immediately became indignant.

Meng Yuyan heheed twice: "Elder Concubine, your health is not good. The imperial doctor has already said that if you sleep too little or don't sleep well, your body will be damaged."

"That's... how can there be any reason to be a daughter-in-law! Could it be that the princess just indulges her like this?" Ning Yueyao couldn't believe it.

Seeing the strangeness, Meng Yuyan said: "In order for the concubine to take good care of her health as soon as possible, and to extend the succession of His Royal Highness, the father personally sent a message to tell the concubine to sleep enough every morning, so that there is no need to come here every day to greet the concubine."

"Although the father and king have spoken, there is no such unruly daughter-in-law!" Ning Yueyao was not convinced.

"I suggest you say a few words less on this matter. Outside rules are outside rules. In this palace, what the father said is the rule. Also, if the crown prince comes, you have to stand. Ning Fang Concubine, you are a concubine, but you also need to know the rules."

Meng Yuyan smiled with sarcasm in her eyes, and she felt proud that she didn't make such a wise decision to marry Li Zhao as a side concubine.

Look, look, so what if it's a side concubine?How dare you say you are a concubine at a time like this?
The two were originally the companions of the girls in the palace, and they both lived in the palace for a long time when they were young, and now one has become the second wife and the other has become the side concubine of the prince, which is really interesting.

All the female relatives watched the play with great enthusiasm, Concubine Zhuang secretly regretted how interesting the show was today, why did the princess sleep late and not come!
Hey, it's such a pity that Concubine Sun is also planted now.

There is no one to watch the show with me.

In the dormitory at the back, Xiao Ning was combing her hair while listening to the nanny report to herself what was said before the morning meeting.

Nanny Ren also said bravely, seeing that the knuckles of Xiao Ning's hand holding the comb started to turn white, she shut her mouth.

"Go ahead!" Xiao Ning's voice became sharp.

"It's gone, it's really gone, that's all they said." Nanny Ren wiped her sweat.

Xiao Ning sneered, "Why don't they say that I am the second concubine, and that little wolf cub is born of his first wife, and I can't control his wife? They don't even know that the original mother planned to betroth me to His Highness first! "

"Princess, what happened back then is already like that, so don't worry about it anymore! Everyone has already..."

"Back then, my sister knew that my heart was for His Highness, but she turned around and had an affair with His Highness without me, and she had that little evil! The unmarried adultery was for a concubine, what face did she have to be a first wife, how could she have the face to be a first wife! She still Begging the lord to let me be the stepwife, she actually begged for my position... She, she gave me alms, why should she give me alms? All of this should be mine!"

Nanny Ren stood aside and stopped talking, and Nanny Ren didn't dare to persuade her, let alone the other maids in the room.

Everyone lowered their brows and held their breath, for fear that the angry princess would notice them.

She couldn't get the love she wanted, but the person she hated had already passed away. Where should she blame her for her misfortune?I am afraid that this demon will not be able to get rid of in this life.
