The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Banquets are in vogue nowadays. Unless aristocrats are seriously ill, they will drink when entertaining guests.

Jiang Lingyue was also unable to avoid it, but she also loved wine and did not feel embarrassed.

The wine for the female members was green plum wine brewed in spring, which was sour and sweet and very delicious. She always remembered that she was going out for a banquet and did not dare to drink too much.

But at the table, people were toasting each other, and soon they started playing drinking games, and soon they got out of control.

By the time the banquet was over, Jiang Lingyue had already drunk three pots of wine. Her head was buzzing, her cheeks were flushed, and she was drunk.

When the Marquis's Mansion entertains guests, it naturally provides guest rooms for them to rest.

The surname of the Marquis of Wuyuan's Mansion is Zhao. The one who entertained Jiang Lingyue today was the second daughter of the Zhao family. Since he still needed to entertain the guest and could not see her off in person, he called the maidservant in the flower hall and asked her to settle the distinguished guest.

Jiang Lingyue was not used to resting in unfamiliar places, so she shook her head when she heard that. "Don't worry, I'll just walk around and get rid of the alcohol."

Since she insisted, Miss Zhao Er stopped trying to persuade her and smiled as she talked about some of the places worth visiting in her hometown.

"Not far from this elegant hall, there's a flower field covered in glass. Many flowers that can't be seen this month can still be seen in it. If Yueyue is interested, you can go and see it."

Jiang Lingyue nodded, thanked for the kindness, and walked out of the hall by herself.

This time she brought only Jinshu to the banquet.

The master and servant walked one after the other in the back garden of the marquis's mansion.

At this time, the banquet was over, and many guests who did not take a lunch break came out in groups of three or five to walk around.

Jiang Lingyue encountered several groups.

I didn't recognize any of them. After walking for a while, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

It was Xie Anning, whom I had just met this morning.

Jiang Lingyue's eyes lit up and she was about to step forward, but when she looked closely, she saw the man opposite her.

Ten years ago, Jiang Lingyue was seven years old and could already remember things. She remembered Wang Shaofu, so she naturally recognized him now.

From a distance, she saw the couple talking to each other with serious expressions. Even their servants had retreated several feet away, so she didn't want to go forward and disturb them.

Let’s reminisce about the past, there is still a long way to go.

Jiang Lingyue quickly made up her mind, turned and took a different path.

there.

Wang Shaofu was indeed discussing serious matters with Xie Anning.

Their daughter, Wang Wan, had just come of age two months ago, and her marriage was imminent.

Some time ago, he told Xie An Ning that he wanted to marry his daughter to the eldest son of the Yao family.

Today is Marquis Wuyuan’s birthday, so naturally people from the Yao family came as well. Madam Yao brought her little daughter, as well as Yao Yushu himself.

If the marriage is settled, Mrs. Yao will be her daughter's future mother-in-law. Xie An Ning has observed the temperaments of the mother and daughter of the Yao family today.

I wanted to go home and mention this to Wang Shaofu, but I didn't expect him to come here first.

It is said that Your Majesty went to Jiuqu Pavilion in the morning and praised the twin lotus flowers in the lake.

At this moment, the young men and women who came to the banquet held an impromptu lotus viewing banquet there.

Yao Yushu was also there, and Wang Shaofu wanted his daughter to go and see him.

As a father, he has tested his daughter's ability and family background. Now he just wants his daughter to be satisfied with Yao Yushu's appearance.

This marriage can be settled.

Xie Anning could only reveal in advance what he had originally planned to say after returning home and closing the door.

She lowered her voice and said, "I was drinking at the same table with Madam Yao today. Although she seems to be graceful and generous, I always feel that she is not a kind person. There is something mean in her eyes and eyebrows."

"Why worry about that,"

Wang Shaofu frowned slightly. "Marriage between children is a good omen for two families. Wan'er marrying into the Yao family is considered marrying down. If Madam Yao is smart, she won't dare to be mean to my son. Even if she is stupid, there are always smart people in the Yao family."

"Don't worry, the Wang family is here, I'm here, and Wan'er will definitely not be able to stand being bullied in her husband's family."

He reached out and wanted to pat his wife's shoulder to comfort her.

Xie Anning reflexively dodged it by moving sideways.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly, thinking about his words.

He was right.

Throughout history, whether a woman endures being bullied in her husband's family has never depended on whether her mother-in-law is mean or not, but on the strength of her mother's family.

The mother's family is powerful, so even the mean mother-in-law dare not embarrass her daughter-in-law.

For an orphan like her who has no maternal family to rely on, even the old lady Wang, who is praised for her kindness in the capital, can find her faults every day just to torture her.

This is reality.

His hand fell empty, and Wang Shaofu's face froze. He looked at his wife who avoided him like a snake and scorpion, and pursed his lips. "An Ning, Yao Yushu is already one of the most talented young men in the capital. Or do you want Wan'er to marry away from the capital?"

"Of course not," Xie Anning suddenly looked up, "I only have one daughter, she must not leave my sight."

In the capital, even if her daughter was wronged, she could still go to her house to protect her.

Once she marries to another state or county, she will be out of reach.

What she said was, 'I' only have one daughter.

Instead, we.

Wang Shaofu's heart skipped a beat.

The concubines in the backyard had been separated from them for several months.

He acquiesced to it.

So, she now conceded that he would not have only one daughter.

The love between husband and wife for many years has deteriorated bit by bit.

Wang Shaofu couldn't tell what he was feeling.

But it's never pleasant.

He retracted his hand that was frozen in mid-air and asked, "Do you want Wan'er to go and see him?"

The Yao family is truly the most suitable family.

Their daughter has been raised innocently by the couple over the years.

The Yao family, with Wang Shaofu's ability, can protect their daughter.

As for the higher-ranking families, not only are there strict rules, but Wang Shaofu is also more restricted when he wants to keep an eye on his in-laws' inner house.

He is the biological father of his daughter, and his daughter was raised in the palm of his hand.

From the perspective of the starting point, they love their daughter equally.

And I will never harm her.

Xie Anning nodded gently, "Let her see it."

…………

Jiang Lingyue turned into a small path.

After taking only a few steps, she realized that it was not appropriate to go to a secluded courtyard when visiting someone else's home.

She was about to turn around and walk back when she noticed a man following her.

Seeing her turn around, the man bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang is easy to find. Please come with me. My master wants to see you."

The man was about forty years old, with a square face, broad shoulders and a strong body, and a fierce aura.

Jiang Lingyue recognized the clothes he was wearing.

It is an official robe unique to the commander.

This is a second-rank official in the imperial court.

Who is the person who can be called "master" by a second-rank official of the court?

The answer is already coming.

And this commander who holds military power can make the capital tremble with just a stomp of his feet.

Now he bowed slightly and treated her politely.
