The male concubine of the violent son

Soon it was the New Year's Eve. After the family banquet on New Year's Eve, everyone in each house went back to prepare for the next day's palace spring banquet.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, all court officials and relatives of the emperor and relatives of the fifth rank and above would enter the palace to congratulate the emperor and empress.

The royal family, on the other hand, hosts banquets and entertains the whole country to celebrate, in order to pray for good weather in the coming year, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

After the spring banquet at noon, there are various activities, such as horse riding and archery, Juju, lantern show, garden tour, etc. In the evening, everyone will follow the emperor to climb the tower, accept the worship of the people, have fun with the people, and watch the prosperous fireworks together... …

On this day, all the ladies and gentlemen of the famous noble ladies' pavilion will enter the palace. Some come to socialize, some come to find a good son-in-law and a good wife, and some come to make relationships...

Royal princes can bring their main concubines and side concubines, while famous generals can only bring their direct descendants.

"Mother, I'm so mad. What is she, Bai Yu? She's from the north and has never seen the world. She dared to take away my long-cherished purple heart and pearl earrings. My father knew that I liked them, but he still gave them to me." Bai Yu." As soon as the second sister-in-law Su Xi returned to the other courtyard, she became furious: "I see, Bai Yu is just fighting with me, knowing that I have been in love with that pair of earrings for a long time."

Pearls have always been pink and white, and even so, pink and white are also very precious, and only dignitaries and merchants can afford them.

Other colors are not absent, but they are rare. Among them, purple is the rarest, and among purples, purple heart pearls are the most precious.

The inside of the purple heart pearl is a very purple color, which gradually spreads to the outside, which is lavender. This kind of gradient color can be called magical workmanship, and one piece can be worth ten thousand gold, which can be said to be priceless.

This pair of purple heart pearl earrings came as a tribute from a small country near the sea. The Holy One rewarded King Cheng with a pair after he remembered his great military exploits.

Due to the extreme scarcity, the emperor once ridiculed "how can a pair of earrings be divided between two princesses?".

Because of such a ridicule, King Cheng fell into a difficult situation, and finally put the earrings in King Cheng's treasury, neither of which would be given, and neither of them would be offended, so as not to disturb the mansion.

This year happened to be the time when the son married the concubine and went to the palace banquet. King Cheng gave the earrings to the concubine directly.

But Su Xi has been thinking about this pair of earrings for a long time, and has never found a suitable opportunity to ask Cheng Wang for them, so that she smashed countless vases and utensils as soon as she returned to the backyard.

Concubine Liu glanced coldly: "If you have time to get angry here, you might as well pray for your stomach to live up to your expectations. If that concubine gives birth to a son-in-law, I'm afraid our life in the palace will be even more difficult."

Her dowry servant, Nanny Cai, came over and pressed her temples, and Concubine Liu's anger subsided a little.

When the second sister-in-law was mentioned by Concubine Liu, she immediately mumbled: "I can't worry about this alone."

Concubine Liu looked at the little daughter-in-law Gu You who was unknown to the side: "You too, hold on tight."

Su Xi and Gu You were scolded by Concubine Liu before they came out of Concubine Liu's courtyard.

Su Xi walked all the way and complained: "What do you think is wrong with the mother-in-law? She doesn't want to deal with the concubine and the others, but wants to teach us a lesson. Even if her concubine concubine conceives a son-in-law, so what? She has to give birth."

Gu You looked around, and quickly said: "Second sister-in-law, don't talk about it, be careful of being overheard."

Su Xi deliberately raised her voice: "If you hear it, you will hear it. Would I be afraid? My grandfather is one of the three princes, and my grandma is the first rank. She is just from a remote mountain. She said that her family has a title. Most of the county magistrates don't have any rights..."

Gu You lowered his eyes and sighed: "Second sister-in-law, what mother said tonight is mainly for you. If the imperial concubine has an heir, you will be the one who threatens you the most."

Su Xi looked at Gu You suspiciously: "Huh?"

Gu You: "You are the first daughter-in-law to marry into the palace. You are four years earlier than the concubine. The palace has not had a male in sixteen or seventeen years. The eldest grandson, the prince will definitely not treat you badly. If it really comes from the concubine, this If it gets out, you and your second elder brother will probably be poked in the forehead and ridiculed by the famous people in Kyoto. Moreover, if the imperial concubine has an heir, it will only threaten your second sister-in-law's status, after all, you are the only one who threatens her status in the entire palace."

Su Xi thought about it, it was true.

It doesn't make sense that she has nothing to do for four years, and the concubine concubine conceived as soon as she got married, won't people in the capital laugh at her as an iron tree that doesn't bloom?

What's more, although the second child is not a direct descendant, he is highly valued by the prince, and he is backed by side concubine Liu and her mother's family.If the son continues to be so absurd, then the future son of the palace will be the second son.

At that time, the imperial concubine and the child in her womb directly threatened her and her child.

Gotta find a way to get rid of this thorn in my side.

The next day, there was a long queue at the gate of the palace.

All the officials put on court clothes, and the family members must dress appropriately.

As soon as the carriage of the Wangfu arrived at the rear of the palace gate, the carriage gave way immediately, so the carriage of the Wangfu arrived at the front in a short while.

The eunuchs in the palace made routine inspections, and only after the inspections were completed, were they allowed to enter the palace on foot, while the servants waited in line outside the palace gate with their carriages.

The spring banquet lunch is held at Sishi, and meals are eaten in the palace. Men and women are separated. The female relatives usually follow the queen, concubine and princess. Now the emperor and queen have passed away, and Liu Xianfei, the sister of Liu Fangfei, is in charge of the sixth palace.

After entering the palace, the prince and concubine took the male and female family members of the palace with them, one facing the east hall and the other facing the west hall.

Ran Qinggu followed the concubine to the west hall in a regular manner.

When they entered, there were already many noble ladies there.

The position of the female family members of the palace is below the position of the emperor's concubines, but before the family members of the princes and princes, so Ran Qinggu's position is very conspicuous.

Many people looked at him secretly, and laughed and teased him in private.

Before the banquet, the daughters of officials and eunuchs who knew each other would gather together to talk about family matters.

"That is the concubine Shizi. It is rumored that because she is ugly, the son of the world does not want to have sex with her, but she is really beautiful... On the wedding night of the son of the prince, let this beautiful woman be alone and run to Qing| Lou looking for that Qing|lou woman?"

"Perhaps women in the brothel are better..." The lady couldn't say the dirty words behind her, and raised her eyebrows "you know": "My brother said that men like women who are interesting. Look at her, sitting there talking to a wooden It seems that no matter how beautiful it is, it is still a vase..."

"That's right, think about it, the daughter of Li Xiang, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the Dasu dynasty, is both civil and military, and is proficient in everything. She is looking for life and death for the son, and the son will not even look at it. She threatens to like the girl from the brothel. The son If it is really for beauty, why do you turn a blind eye to Li Feiluan?"

"Looking at her lofty appearance, does she really regard herself as the imperial concubine? It's not certain who will be sitting in that position next year?"

……

Ran Qinggu ignored the gossip and gossip around him, and sat indifferently on his own seat, replying to the words of Mrs. Gao Ming, an official lady who came to talk.

At this time, a graceful and luxurious lady entered the west hall, and beside her stood a bright and dazzling woman.

The woman was wearing a sugar-pink palace dress, with her hair tied up in a high bun, her beaded golden steps swaying with every step, and her brows were full of arrogance and arrogance, as if all the dignitaries in the room were ants crawling under her feet.

Ran Qinggu had to admit that she was very beautiful, so beautiful that no one could ignore her, and at the same time, she couldn't get close to her.

The surrounding wives greeted them, and greeted: "Mrs. Xiangfu is really beautiful, and Miss Xiangfu is more and more like a heavenly man."

The woman saluted and smiled: "Madam is absurd."

The princess said to Ran Qinggu: "That's Li Xiang's wife and his daughter Li Feiluan, let's go too."

Ran Qinggu followed the princess and walked over.

Before he had gone a few steps, he saw Mrs. Li Xiang coming up to greet her, and said a few polite words and compliments.

The second sister-in-law Su Xi approached Li Feiluan intimately, held Li Feiluan's hand, and smiled gently: "Miss Feiluan is really more and more beautiful, and she is indeed the number one beauty in Dasu. If my son sees you again..."

Speaking of this, Su Xi suddenly realized, and paused: "Look at me, talk too much, the Crown Princess is still here."

Li Feiluan glared at the legendary concubine Shizi, his eyes were full of malice.

She used to stay awake day and night for business appearance and tea and dinner, and asked her parents to propose marriage regardless of face.

But he didn't want Shizi to express his love for Zang Jiaojiao, a famous prostitute in the brothel, after she made a crazy show of love. She committed suicide several times because of this, and she was depressed for more than a month.

What she didn't even expect was that the eldest son would marry the first daughter of a poor family from the north a month or two later.

On the day the son got married, she fell seriously ill and became unconscious.

When he woke up, he heard that Shizi left his concubine and went to a brothel on the night of his wedding.

For this reason, she loves Shizi a little more, and Shizi is indeed a person who values ​​love and righteousness, but, such a person should belong to her.

She looked at the imperial concubine in front of her, and let out a cold snort in her nose, and everyone present could see the tension in the air.

"Concubine Xian is here, Princess Langhua is here." A eunuch shouted.

Everyone went to salute immediately: "See Concubine Xian, Princess Langhua."

Ran Qinggu already knew before that Concubine Xian is the biological sister of Concubine Liu of the Palace.

One is called Liu Huayue and the other is called Liu Xueyue.

The two got married almost on the same day, one married the current emperor and became a talented person, and the other married the prince and became a concubine.

The queen passed away early, and Liu Huayue won the emperor's heart, and gave birth to the sixth prince and the only princess of the Dasu Dynasty, so the favor never fades.

That's why side concubine Liu dared to yell at the concubine in the palace, bullying the concubine back then that she couldn't give birth to a son, just because her mother's family was too powerful.

Concubine Xian smiled: "Bingsheng, everyone, hurry up and take a seat, there is no need to be so polite."

Only then did everyone get up and take their seats one after another.

As everyone got up and the crowd moved around, there was quite a wave of fluctuations among the ladies.

Everyone glanced at Ran Qinggu, then at the princess, and finally their eyes fell on the princess's shoes.

Ran Qinggu followed his eyes and saw two beads on the princess's glazed cloud-pattern palace shoes - two purple heart pearls.

It was exactly the same as what the prince gave him in his ears.

Some laughed and satirized, some watched the show, and some looked contemptuous...

Tomorrow, it might spread throughout the capital, but the pearl jewelry carefully prepared by Princess Cheng for the palace banquet is only suitable for the princess to adorn her shoes.
