Chapter 393: Going out of the city to welcome
"We are husband and wife as one. Madam, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to be hesitant, right? Besides, you have always been a straightforward person. What happened today?" After washing his hands, the head of the Feng family took the hand of the eldest lady and sat on the chair together.
On the table in front of her, the maids had already prepared dinner. The eldest lady rolled up her sleeves and served a bowl of soup to her husband and placed it in front of him. "Drink some hot soup first to warm your body."
Except for major festivals, the Feng family eats separately from each other. Therefore, there is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
"What happened today? You haven't told me yet." The head of the Feng family continued to ask while eating.
"Well," the first lady hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her husband what happened in Ci'an Hall this morning. Firstly, she was still angry, and secondly, as he had just said, husband and wife are one. It was about his mother and his younger brother and sister-in-law, so there was no need to hide it from him. "I went to pay my respects to my mother this morning, and my younger brother and sister-in-law looked at me with eyes that were not eyes and noses that were not noses."
"Not only did she give me the cold shoulder in front of a room full of people, she also bullied me in both implicit and implicit ways. I think I'm very kind to their second wife, but what do you think she meant by that? How did I offend her?"
The head of the Feng family, who was eating happily, stopped eating when he heard this. Looking at the excited lady with red eyes, he rarely saw her lose her composure in all the years they had known each other. It seemed that the second son's wife and her mother had really pissed her off today.
When the couple began to talk, the maids and old women who were serving in the house quietly went out and stood guard at the door.
"Alas," Patriarch Feng put down his chopsticks and held the doctor's hand, "I think I may know some reasons."
"Oh?"
"Speaking of which, you are wronged by her treatment of you." Looking at the puzzled look from the eldest lady, the head of the Feng family decided not to beat around the bush. "Do you remember the day when the eunuch came to the mansion to deliver the imperial decree?"
The eldest lady nodded. The imperial edict was somewhat beyond her expectations, but she had to admit that it made things much easier for her and her third brother and his wife.
"That day, after the eunuchs were sent away, the third sister-in-law came to the study and asked Dad why the emperor didn't choose her?" After so many days, when he recalled the scene in the study that day, the head of the Feng family couldn't help but chuckle. The second branch relied on their mother's favoritism and always ignored them. When something happened, they hid faster than rabbits, and when there was a benefit, they would not give up the slightest bit of bottom line, but why?
"Ah, how dare she?" Hearing this, the first wife opened her mouth in surprise. Even Wu Huan didn't dare to easily step into her father-in-law's study. How could the second wife have the courage? Could it be that the ignorant are really fearless?
"Oh, who said it wasn't. But father didn't give her any face that day. You don't know that in the end I was embarrassed to stay in there." After saying that, he leaned over, got close to the eldest lady's ear, and whispered the words that old Patriarch Feng had used to scold the second lady, reciting them word for word.
Then he withdrew his body, pretending nothing had happened, and slowly picked up the chopsticks and continued eating, if you didn't look at his red ears.
Half a cup of tea later, the eldest lady finally came to her senses and couldn't help but cover her mouth and sneered. Suddenly she understood what the head of the Feng family meant when he said that the second lady was scornful today and whether she was wronged or not.
Patriarch Feng looked at his wife, who looked much more relaxed, and frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "As for mother?"
The eldest lady was the most sensitive to this title. When she heard her husband mention it, she immediately put away her smile and stared at his face.
"Alas," Patriarch Feng sighed deeply, and finally said, "Madam, please bear with me."
Hearing this, the sparkling light in the eldest lady's eyes slowly dimmed.
At the same time, in the main courtyard of the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince's Consort and Chen's staff were discussing tomorrow's arrangements.
"Sir, today my father specially sent someone to tell you that the emperor has personally declined the officials' welcome. What do you think we should do tomorrow?" The Second Princess asked, stroking the edge of the tea bowl slowly with her right hand.
"Madam, do you have any plans in mind?" Chen Muliao stroked his beard which was more than three inches long to his chin. Ever since he got out of the quagmire of the Second Prince, he has been living a very satisfactory life, and his beard has indirectly grown better as a result.
He glanced at the hostess sitting in the main seat and said calmly, "Logically speaking, you are the queen's sister-in-law and the eldest princess's aunt, so there is nothing wrong with you going to meet her."
The Second Princess smiled and nodded. The two of them smiled knowingly. Her husband's words hit the mark. "What you said is absolutely right. Tomorrow I will take the two children out to welcome them. The eldest princess is their cousin."
She had never seen that position, but she saw this matter clearly. Her biggest wish now was that the two children could grow up safely, and it would be a great blessing if they were not implicated by their father in the future. She dared not ask for anything else.
In the study of the Third Prince's Mansion, the Third Prince and his two aides were discussing this topic.
"Tomorrow, my sister-in-law who has been away from the palace for more than ten years, and my niece who is in the limelight will be back. The sky of this capital is going to change again." The Third Prince said this with mixed feelings, and the expression on his face was very subtle.
Regarding that position, his struggle with the second brother has been in the dark over the years, but with Meixiang's return, some things may turn from dark to light.
"Your Highness, we cannot rush into these matters. We need to take a long-term view." Staff member Jiang looked at his master who was sitting at the top and consoled him.
Now many things are still unclear, he and Liu Mu's staff are worried that their master will make mistakes due to impatience and follow the old path of the second prince. However, their master is able to listen to them, he is ambitious but not too blindly confident.
"I know this very well, so you two gentlemen can relax." The Third Prince smiled and continued, "When there is a chance to compete for that position, I will never give it up because of weakness. When there is no chance, I can also wait."
"This prince is very curious about my eldest niece whom I have yet to meet. Tomorrow I will go out of the city with the princess to meet her first. What do you two gentlemen think?"
"I think it's feasible. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Your Highness hasn't seen her for many years. To show your respect, it's not a bad idea to go and greet her." After the two aides looked at each other privately, Liu Aide spoke up, "Your Highness is righteous, and I admire you."
"Hahaha......"
