The Favoured Medical Princess: 437 Arguments
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Mrs. Du was sitting on pins and needles under the gaze of everyone, and she secretly resented that this eldest concubine was too unreasonable and unforgiving, just as difficult and annoying as the eldest son!
At this moment, there was a "dong" sound, as if some dishes fell to the ground.
Du Xinmin stood up at some point. At the corner of her skirt, a celadon fruit bowl fell into pieces. Fruits such as lychees, loquats, plums, etc. rolled away, leaving a mess on the ground.
The little maid who went to the fruit bowl was already stunned, her mind went blank. She did not expect that this girl would suddenly stand up!
Du Xinmin had a dark face and said in a cold voice: "Cousin, such a clumsy servant, you also use it to entertain guests! What a disappointment!" After saying that, she turned to Mrs. Du and said, "Mom, let's go ."
This forced composure and the way she found the steps for herself made everyone burst into laughter, thinking: This Du family mother and daughter really treat everyone else as fools.
Mrs. Du's face turned even more ugly. Now, she had no choice but to stand up in a hurry, take her daughter and walk towards the stairs with Mrs. Qiao and her daughter.
The little maid who overturned the fruit bowl was the son of a family who had just been transferred to Bixiaotang not long ago. She was already trembling with fear. She once heard that there was a banquet held in the palace, and a maid accidentally spilled a drop of hot soup on the skirt of a lady with a trembling hand. The lady ordered her mother-in-law to lock the person in the woodshed on the spot. The rod was used to punish twenty big boards, and then he was sold.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her legs became weak.
"You are too careless." Baihui took a few steps forward and scolded: "Why did you bump into Miss Du Biao! Don't hurry up and tidy up this place, don't make the guests laugh!"
Baihui didn't say anything about the little maid breaking the fruit plate, but only blamed her for bumping into Du Xinmin, and everyone could understand the implication.
Du Xinmin, who had already gone down the first flight of stairs, naturally heard it, but he couldn't turn around and quarrel with Baihui because of this. He could only go downstairs angrily, pedaling step by step until the stairs made a "dong-dong" sound.
The ladies looked at each other with half-smiles.
Most of the people who will come to the banquet today are those who have already chosen the heir apparent in the mansion. At this time, they all know very well that the Du family cannot interact with each other!
The maids serving on the second floor moved quickly, picking up the fruits and sweeping away the broken porcelain pieces in a few seconds. In the blink of an eye, everything was in order, as if nothing had happened. Pass.
And the little maid was still a little confused. She originally thought that she was dead this time, but she didn't expect that the Crown Princess didn't get angry at all... Did she pass the test so easily? !
Baihuifu bowed to the female relatives and apologized. Even this small incident was over.
The ladies all secretly said that the Crown Princess is indeed a noblewoman from the royal capital. Even the maid next to her is so extraordinary. With her polite demeanor and elegant demeanor, no matter who she is, I'm afraid some people may believe the girl in the house.
The sound of gongs and drums on the stage stopped again, and another part of the play was finished.
Nangong Yue was not at all affected by what just happened. After listening to the play, she invited her ladies to enjoy the flowers together, and invited them to taste the plum wine she made herself.
The amber plum wine not only has a sweet and soft fruity aroma, but also exudes an elegant medicinal aroma. This medicinal aroma is refreshing and makes people feel refreshed. After taking a sip of the wine, they feel soft in the mouth and sweet in the mouth. There is an evocative aftertaste that lingers between the lips and teeth, which is very refreshing and pleasant.
Even several young girls were greedy for the sweet taste. They drank two more cups and whispered to each other from time to time, guessing what the Crown Princess had added to the plum wine... Deep down, they couldn't help but admire the Crown Prince who came from the royal capital. The concubine is really extraordinary, and her attention to detail can be seen.
With warm hospitality, the host and guest are in harmony.
While the application was ongoing, everyone began to leave one after another.
Most of the guests were sent off by Grandma Lu, An Niang and Bai Hui. Only Mrs. Tian’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were delivered to Dongyi Gate by Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei themselves.
Mrs. Tian got into the carriage with the help of her daughter-in-law.
The carriage walked slowly and slowly, and it took a full hour to return to the house. By this time, the sky was already dim.
After all, Mrs. Tian was not young anymore, and her face and eyes were full of tiredness. As soon as she got off the carriage, she sent her daughter-in-law back to rest.
Tian He had just returned home not long ago. When he saw his old wife coming back, he casually asked, "How was today's banquet?"
Mrs. Tian nodded first, then thought of something and shook her head. Her strange reaction aroused Tian He's interest, and she vaguely guessed what kind of trouble might have happened in the Zhennan Palace today.
He raised his eyebrows and said: "Old lady, talk to me!"
The old couple sat down side by side on the Luohan bed. Tian He listened carefully to what his old wife was saying slowly. His expressions varied from happy to angry to suspicious and frightened according to what happened in the palace today...
After talking about the banquet, Mrs. Tian said with some emotion: "The Crown Princess seems not to be bullied by others, and her words and deeds are quite safe. It's just that the little Fang occupies the title of mother-in-law after all. , I’m afraid there will be more trouble in the future..."
Tian He sneered in his heart, not to mention that Xiao Fang is just the stepmother of the prince, not the serious mother-in-law of the prince's concubine. Even if the prince is the prince's biological father, he still embarrasses the prince in all aspects. It really should be There is an old saying among the people: if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather!
Tian He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "As long as the prince and the prince are of the same mind, even the madam will have nothing to do with them!"
Mrs. Tian covered her mouth and smiled and said: "I see, the Crown Princess is very good in terms of appearance, family background, and conduct in society. She has been made things difficult for her today, but she has not bowed to Madam. I look at the Crown Prince and she is really good. You didn’t marry the wrong person!"
Little Fang has never wanted the best for the prince. If the prince's concubine is not strong enough and is restrained by Xiao Fang in the inner house, wouldn't that cause trouble for the prince? Because of this, Mrs. Tian did not speak out in defense just now. She wanted to see how the Crown Princess would behave. Unexpectedly, both the Crown Princess and Miss Xiao were beyond her expectations!
"The saying is right." Mrs. Tian praised, "A good wife and a good husband seldom cause harm. Look at our prince, he has become more and more prudent after getting married. I think the relationship between the young couple must be very good. !"
"Of course!" Tian He thought of something and stroked his beard, the smile in his eyes almost overflowing, "The Crown Prince has taken the Crown Princess to the military camp, of course he loves her very much. ”
Mrs. Tian was startled, and she couldn't hide the surprise on her face, and said: "The prince took the prince to the military camp?!" There is no way that there is no news about this kind of thing in Luoyue City, right?
Tian He saw his old wife's surprise, so he told her exactly what happened that day when Nangong Yue disguised herself as a man and followed Xiao Yi to the Luo Yuecheng camp to try out the crossbow, which made him smile more and more. .
"Looking at the way the Crown Princess looks, it's definitely not the first time a woman has disguised herself as a man!" Tian He said with a smile.
In other words, when he was in the royal capital, the prince often took the prince's concubine dressed as a man out to play!
For Tian He, Xiao Yi is now both the prince and his nephew. Seeing his deep love with the prince's concubine, Tian He also feels comforted by his old feelings.
Mrs. Tian also found it interesting, "I still remember how naughty the prince was when he was a child. I didn't expect that he would grow up in the blink of an eye and marry the prince's concubine... The old prince must be relieved."
Thinking of the past few years, Tian He’s eyes are a little complicated...
At that time, who could have imagined that the **** prince would be where he is today?
……
At this time, Tianfu’s family was not the only one who was talking about Nangong Yue.
Although Bixiaotang is testing this banquet, it is also an opportunity for the various governments in southern Xinjiang to get to know and test the Crown Prince and Crown Princess up close.
Nangong Yue also knew this very well. Today, Xiao Fang and Mrs. Qiao failed to get favors from her. Instead, they were disgraced. As a result, she also established her authority. I am afraid they will not be able to sleep well for a few days. .
Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei to distribute the cards, and the entire Bixiaotang was tidied up in an orderly manner.
The stewards and the maids worked separately, tidying up the halls and waterside pavilions one by one, and put the screens, antiques and other furnishings back into storage, along with the plates and bowls used for today's banquet. , plates, chopsticks, etc. must be counted and the damaged items must be registered...
When everything was done, Xiao Fei's mood suddenly dropped, as if a punctured ball suddenly deflated.
After a while, Xiao Fei said: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..." Xiao Fei knew that Xiao Fang did something wrong, but the son did not say anything about the mother's fault...
Xiao Fei only said five words, no beginning or end, but of course Nangong Yue understood what Xiao Fei was talking about. She would never blame Xiao Fei for Xiao Fang's family, and she didn't care at this time. Smiling: "Sister Fei, you are you..."
Although she knew that her sister-in-law would not be angry with her, Xiao Fei still felt uncomfortable in her heart. Her clear eyes were extremely complicated, including sadness, guilt, and anger... In fact, she understood many truths, but her mother's What she did made her sometimes really don’t know how to face her sister-in-law, her eldest brother, and her grandfather...
"Sister-in-law, I'm going back to Yuebiju first." Xiao Fei said goodbye after feeling blessed.
Nangong Yue sighed secretly, feeling only distressed in her heart.
Xiao Fei is just a little girl who has not yet reached hairpins, but because of Xiao Fang, she has to carry heavy burdens one after another!
At this time, it was not convenient for her to say anything. She could only let Xiao Fei calm down first and then think of a way to enlighten Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei returned to Yuebiju with heavy steps, and took a bath and changed clothes under the service of Taoyao and Baizhou.
Her mood was still a little low, so she let Taoyao help her wring her hair.
At this time, a little maid in blue came to report that Grandma Qi next to Madam was here.
Xiao Fei nodded and let people in.
"I've seen a big girl." Nanny Qi was wearing a lotus-colored dress with silver embroidery and carved silk. Her hair was combed into a bun and a jade hairpin was inserted. As soon as she saw that the jade was green and transparent, she knew It was rewarded by Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fei said lightly: "Mother Qi, please excuse me."
Nanny Qi looked at Xiao Fei with a kind look on her face and said with a smile: "Miss, Madam, I had someone make new clothes and jewelry for the girl, and specially sent a slave to deliver them to the girl." Behind her The maids immediately presented him with clothes and jewelry.
Xiao Fei didn't even look at it. She knew very well that her mother was playing a "slap and give a date" trick.
Xiao Fei nodded slightly, indicating to Taoyao to take the things away, and said coldly: "Mom, please thank my mother for me."
"There is no need to say thank you between mother and daughter!" Aunt Qi said with a smile, and then got to the point, "Miss, you also know that Madam has been depressed these days since she... hurt her body, so she just I'm a little angry, but mother and daughter don't have an overnight feud, so don't take it to heart, girl." Aunt Qi adopted a gentle strategy and tried to persuade her with soft words.
"If you just want to say this, mama, please come back." Xiao Fei rubbed her brows, unable to hide the fatigue in her expression.
Nanny Qi choked for a moment, but she knew Xiao Fei's temperament and knew that the eldest girl would accept death. She quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Eldest lady, I know that you think the madam should not care about the prince. But you don’t know the painstaking efforts that Madam has put into what happened in the room with the Crown Prince. For Miss Fang Biao to marry the Crown Prince as a concubine, there are only advantages and no harm for the girl and the second young master. Think about it, Miss Fang. The cousin and the girl are direct cousins. In the future, with Cousin Fang as the mediator, the brother-sister relationship between the girl and the prince will be more harmonious!"
Seeing that Xiao Fei's eyes were half-closed and she didn't speak, Aunt Qi boldly continued: "Girl, Madam, you and the Second Young Master are just a pair of flesh and blood, and I will do my best for you. Girl, in the future, this will be the best for you." The prince's palace belongs to the prince. If the prince has Miss Fang Biao by his side, and there is any difficulty, wouldn't there be someone who can talk to him? Furthermore, Miss Fang and the girl are direct cousins. Sisters, in the future, the child born to my cousin will be both her nephew and her cousin, so he will definitely be closer to her..."
Mother Qi spoke more and more excitedly, "Although the future children of the imperial concubine will also call the girl aunt, the relationship is separated by a layer after all. How can the child of Fang Biao be close to the girl? Everything the madam does is... It’s for the girl’s good. The girl has been smart since she was a child. As long as you think about it carefully, you will know that what I said is right. Even though the Crown Princess is so kind to you now, she is actually a Buddha. The Crown Princess has always disliked the Madam. She is I am deliberately trying to sow discord between the girl and my wife, and once I let the imperial concubine succeed, it will be painful for my relatives and happy for my enemies!"
Xiao Fei didn't speak for a while. When she raised her eyes, her eyes were clear and cold, without any emotion. In fact, Xiao Fei's heart was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. What Aunt Qi said was probably what her mother, Xiao Fang, was thinking, right? Does mother think she is getting close to her sister-in-law just to please her elder brother?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Xiao Fei's lips. Her mother had no idea and couldn't understand that she looked at her eldest brother in a different light because of her sister-in-law! If it weren't for my elder sister-in-law, I would probably live in my own world forever and never face my elder brother...
Aunt Qi felt a chill in her heart. What she said was true and sincere, but the girl didn’t feel the slightest bit moved?
How is this possible!
Nanny Qi’s lips moved, and she wanted to say something else, but she heard Xiao Fei already speaking: "Taoyao, according to the family rules of the palace, slaves discuss the master privately, how should we deal with it?"
Nanny Qi’s pupils shrank and she could hardly believe her ears: Has the eldest girl been bewitched by the Crown Princess?
Tao Yao took half a step forward, glanced at Aunt Qi, lowered her eyebrows and said submissively: "Go back to my lady, the stick is ten pieces of stick."
Xiao Fei said indifferently: "Mommy, why don't you go down and receive the punishment!"
"Big girl..." Nanny Qi wanted to defend herself hurriedly, but she was already dragged down by the two women.
After what happened to Aunt Zheng before, the servants of Yuebiju all know that today is different from the past. The eldest girl is not a mistress who can be fooled easily! Since the eldest girl gave the order, they did not dare to neglect it at all.
Soon, Grandma Qi's screams could be heard in the yard outside. Many maids and women ran to watch, feeling a panic in their hearts.
Big girl, you are really that big girl. Once you get serious, no one will give you any face!
Nanny Qi is Madam Xiao Fang’s confidant. She has been walking sideways in the palace for more than ten years. Who dares not to give her face?
The servants were all whispering to each other, and they were even more shocked when they learned that Aunt Qi was punished for making false remarks about the Crown Princess.
Hitting Aunt Qi is equivalent to hitting Madam in the face. In other words, in Eldest Girl’s heart, the Crown Princess is more important than Madam? !
Nanny Qi screamed a dozen times and then stopped...
After a while, Tao Yao came to report: "Girl, I have ordered someone to send Nanny Qi back to Madam..."
Taoyao's expression was a little complicated and weird, and she hesitated to speak. The mother-in-law who sent Nanny Qi there came back and reported that the lady immediately became furious and threw everything in the room. She said that the eldest girl was possessed by an evil spirit or had been bewitched by someone, and she was bent on turning her back on outsiders. The mother-in-law didn't dare to stay there for long, so she couldn't wait to return to Yuebiju.
In fact, even if Tao Yao hadn't said anything, Xiao Fei could have guessed the reaction of his mother, Xiao Fang. His mother would throw the pillow in front of him, so what kind words could he say behind her back?
Xiao Fei smiled bitterly and waved her hand, asking Tao Yao to step back.
She just wants to be alone for a while.
Taoyao was a little worried, fearing that the elder girl would not be able to think clearly.
At this moment——
"Meow!"
There was a milky meow coming from the ground, which seemed to be coquettish but also seemed to be complaining.
Xiao Fei followed the sound and saw a ball of fluffy orange "little balls" squatting at the corner of her skirt. A pair of cat eyes were round, and the golden pupils were like two Topaz with excellent fire color seems to be saying: Hey, where have you been all day?
"Miwu——"
Xiao Fei's heart almost melted when Xiao Ju screamed, her heart softened, as if she was scratched by a small claw in her heart, she couldn't help but leaned over to pick it up, and lifted it from the top of its head. He gently stroked its back and whispered as if to himself: "Xiaobai, didn't you play with me?"
Seeing that Xiao Fei was attracted by Xiao Ju, Tao Yao felt relieved and retreated quietly, thinking: Let’s add a fish to Xiao Ju tomorrow.
There was only one person and one cat left in the inner room.
Xiao Ju rubbed her head against Xiao Fei's palm intoxicatedly, lying on her lap, her eyes narrowed into two lines, and she yawned from time to time.
Xiao Ju started snoring comfortably after a while, curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
Xiao Fei looked at the carefree Xiao Ju with a touch of envy. The night was already deep, but there was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes.
That night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Fei got up on time, ordered her maid to use powder to cover up the shadows under her eyes, and then went to Xiao Fang's place to pay her respects as usual, but was turned away.
Xiao Fei didn't care, expressionless, and changed route to Bixiaotang...
Everything seemed to be normal until Xiao Fei surrendered in Tingyu Pavilion.
Nangong Yue has been watching the chess game from the sidelines, frowning slightly thoughtfully and looking at Xiao Fei worriedly.
I actually won! Old man Fang looked at the chess game in front of him in disbelief. This was the first time he had defeated Xiao Fei, but the old man did not feel happy at all.
Mr. Fang pursed her lips tightly into a straight line and glanced at Xiao Fei, who was obviously a little distracted. Xiao Fei made many mistakes in today's game of chess and made several bad moves, which ruined her good situation yesterday. Completely.
If Mr. Fang hadn't already understood Xiao Fei's temperament these days, he would have almost thought that Xiao Fei was deliberately giving in to him!
Does this little girl have something on her mind? ! Mr. Fang keenly noticed the fatigue in Xiao Fei's eyes, and deliberately said to Xiao Fei in a rough voice: "What happened to you today? Your chess skills are not up to par!"
Xiao Fei looked ashamed and said calmly: "It's my fault, I made my grandfather laugh."
Mrs. Fang waved his hand and said: "I'm a little tired, Ayue, you two go back first,"
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei stood up, saluted, and left hand in hand.
Seeing the two little girls being so intimate, Mr. Fang narrowed his eyes slightly and waved, and the maid serving in the room immediately came forward.
"I remember yesterday was the day when the Crown Princess entertained guests at Bixiaotang, right?" Old Mrs. Fang asked.
The maid hurriedly responded: "Yes, old master."
Mr. Fang asked again: "But what happened?"
What happened yesterday has already spread throughout the entire palace. It can be said that except for the prince and Mrs. Fang, no one knows about it.
Since Mr. Fang asked about it, the maid naturally told him everything he knew.
Mr. Fang's expression changed several times. He didn't expect so many things to happen at this banquet.
When he thought that Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Fang San and Xiao Fang used their status as elders to embarrass Nangong Yue, Mr. Fang was furious, but on the other hand, he also felt pity for Xiao Fei.
During this period, he had already had a special regard for Xiao Fei. Judging from Xiao Fei's words and deeds yesterday, this little girl was indeed simple-minded. His grandson's wife was not wrong about her, and her love for her was not in vain!
Forget it, I will just love her a little more from now on, just to accumulate virtue for my grandson!
Looking at the scenery of the dignified Zhennan Palace, it is actually just a mansion with an unkind father and an unkind mother. The grandson has a hard time in the palace, and having multiple caring sisters is always a good thing...
Mr. Fang sighed and looked at the green bamboo outside the window.
At the same time, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were walking through a verandah towards Nangong Yue's yard.
After coming out of Tingyu Pavilion, Xiao Fei kept her head half-lowered and silent.
Nangong Yue sighed in her heart. She knew why Xiao Fei was worried and depressed. Ever since she and Xiao Yi returned to southern Xinjiang, Xiao Fei had been caught between them and the Xiao Fang family, which was really difficult.
As a client, no matter how much I persuade, my words are still a little weak...
Nangong Yue felt helpless and worried that Xiao Fei was getting into trouble, so she diverted her attention as if nothing had happened and said: "Sister Fei, the day after tomorrow is the first day of June. I remember that your tea shop is planned to be opened on that day. Is it open?...If you need my place, don’t be polite to me!"
Xiao Fei nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm ready." Everything is ready for the tea shop and it can only be opened.
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, looked her up and down, and said deliberately: "Sister Fei, I know you attach great importance to this tea service, but you must do it in moderation, and you must not tire yourself out. You are still growing How old is your body!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Xiao Fei hurriedly explained, "I just didn't sleep well last night, so I'm feeling low. I'll just take a nap in the afternoon and I'll be fine."
"That's good, then I'll be relieved." Nangong Yue looked relieved and suggested, "Sister Fei, if you have time, why don't we go to the tea shop together the next morning? What do you think?"
Xiao Fei nodded vigorously. When she talked about this tea shop that she had opened by herself, she couldn't help but get excited. There was a smile on her face and she said, "I rented a small house near the city gate. Working at the warehouse, Sister Xia said that the prepared herbal tea bags would be sent to the warehouse tomorrow. At that time, the women who helped the workers would only need to put the herbal tea bags into the tea buckets and boil them. It was very simple. Sister Xia is really smart..."
Xiao Fei talked eloquently, temporarily leaving those troubles behind.
Nangong Yue felt relieved when she saw Xiao Fei's dark eyes sparkling again, and chatted with her with a smile.
