Prince Regent's Concubine
Chapter 45
"This is General Zhen Guo's wife, Mrs. Li, who was born in the general family and has a bold personality. She has always said nothing and is not afraid of trouble." As soon as the person opened his mouth, Bai Xue whispered the identity of this lady to Ling Qingshi.
Ling Qingshi followed everyone's line of sight and saw that Mrs. Li's dress was very simple, and her clothes had also been improved, so she looked very suitable for fighting.
Seeing Ling Qingshi's gaze, Mrs. Li didn't hide, but said openly, "It's not that there are no men here today, the eldest princess insisted on putting the princess on the female guest's side, is it because she doesn't treat the princess as a man or not?" Don't treat us like women."
"It's just you, a woman, and you're not afraid of people's jokes when you say it. You can see for yourself, how can you dress like this." As soon as Madam Li finished speaking, someone immediately yelled at her.
"This is Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Mrs. Qi. She is related to Anninghou's residence by marriage. The eldest daughter of the Qi family is married to the second son of Anninghou." Bai Xue spoke like Ling Qingshi again.
"What's the matter with dressing up like this? I spent your money on your cloth. I'd like to ask you to take a look. If you have nothing to do, don't glance at me. I think you dirty my clothes too much." Mrs. Li was not to be outdone. go back.
And Mrs. Qi also won't show weakness, and then the two quarreled as they came and went, and then several people came out to persuade and fan the flames.
Bai Xue has always acted as a character reminder, introducing to Ling Qingshi, this Mrs. Lu Guogong, that Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and what else is this Mrs. that Mrs. Hou? Half of the official wives who are full of faces in the capital have come.
As for the relationship, judging from the current quarrel, the one who sits on the eldest princess's side and the one who sits on his side can't deal with each other.
Seeing that no one wanted to stop, the eldest princess put down her teacup and turned to Ling Qing, "Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qi are arguing because of you, the princess. Doesn't the princess say something?"
Ling Qingshi thought it was funny, and asked casually, "Sister Huang wants me to say something, saying that I am willing to be treated as a woman, and then Miss Huang puts me on the side of the female guests?"
The eldest princess doesn't like him, maybe she still expects him to show more face.
The Eldest Princess turned dark again, but soon turned into embarrassment. She explained: "I saw that you entered the Prince Regent's Mansion and became Lao Qi's concubine, so I thought you really wanted to be this concubine. A man naturally wants to have fellowship with a woman."
Ling Qingshi twitched the corners of his mouth, "Then Miss Huang, you are not well informed. Everyone in the capital knows that I chose the replacement because the prime minister didn't want to marry my daughter to my lord. Be his princess."
When she saw Ling Qingshi, she made it clear that she didn't give any face, and the eldest princess' face became even more ugly, but she didn't dare to make Ling Qingshi's idea again, and instead scolded the wives who were still arguing , "That's enough, they are all people of status. How can it be decent to make such a fuss in front of so many people? Do you want the younger generation to laugh at you?"
This bit of face still has to be given, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qi sat down in unison with each other humming, and the matter of the eldest princess asking the three daughters to call Ling Qingshi's aunt was over.
The wives who did not participate in the quarrel smoothed things over and brought their attention back to the group of little girls. The little girls wanted to show off their talents, and today is the home of the Anning Hou Mansion, so naturally these three ladies came first.
The older girl played the piano, the twin sisters danced, it was carefully prepared, and the person was good looking, quite attractive, Ling Qingshi applauded face-saving.
There were a few more girls performing in the back, but the three sisters of Anninghou's Mansion, Zhuyu, were in the front, so naturally they couldn't compare in the back.
At this time, Mrs. Qi who had just stopped stood up again, "Princess, Wangfei, according to the rules of previous years, the girl who performed the best will get a prize. We are all old faces, and only the princess is coming back for the first time. How about letting the concubine win the lottery?"
In short bullying the newcomers.
Ling Qingshi turned to look at Bai Xue. Bai Xue took a purse and took two steps forward, opened the purse, and took out a piece of jade from it, "This is the lottery my princess prepared for today's flower feast, Hexi Nuanyu."
After Bai Xue finished speaking, Ling Qingshi heard several excited breaths. Obviously, this jade is very attractive.
"Is this really Hexi Nuanyu?" Someone got up, looked at the jade in Bai Xue's hand and asked, staring at the jade without blinking, with the word "want" written all over his face.
"Naturally, it's the first time the concubine participates in a flower banquet, so my lord specially prepares this piece of jade as a prize for the concubine," Bai Xue said, handing the jade to Ling Qingshi, and silently retreated behind.
Hexi nuanyu can't produce two or three yuan a year. Apart from paying tribute to the royal family, which piece falls to the people is not worth a thousand gold, and people with money and status must be able to buy it.
But because there are too few jades, there are too many people wanting to buy them, especially in this capital where you can bump into a fifth-rank official when you go out casually, no one dares to sell this warm river jade because it is not evenly distributed. Therefore, apart from those rewarded by the royal family, there are only a very small number of Hexi Nuanyu in the capital.
Once there are few things, they are more precious. Once the river warm jade comes out, it will not make people excited.
Not only these wives, but the little girls waiting for the reward below are all watching eagerly.
The wise man heard from Bai Xue's two words that the jade was prepared by the regent, which is enough to show that the regent loves this princess, and it makes the wives less contemptuous of him because he is a man.
So what about men, as long as the regent likes it, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman.
However, there were also people with very bad faces, such as the eldest princess, Mrs. Qi who wanted to slap Ling Qingshi in the face, or those among the little girls below who were staring at Ling Qingshi.
Ling Qingshi noticed that little girl from the moment she appeared, not because of anything else, but because of the obvious hostility towards him.
When she was performing just now, she didn't move. Ling Qingshi also saw her mother's urgent urging movements, but she still didn't move.
As soon as Yu came out, the regent personally selected it again. Apart from being hostile, the little girl also had a bit of regret on her face, probably regretting that she didn't perform just now.
Rivals are everywhere.
Ling Qingshi sighed slightly in his heart.
In the eyes of everyone, Ling Qingshi held up the jade and said, "Who do you guys think should give this lottery today?"
That is naturally what everyone wants, but the choice is based on who can perform well, as long as you don't open your eyes and tell nonsense, it is the three sisters of the Anning Houfu.
It was still embarrassing to choose a person. There was only one piece of jade, but there were three people. Ling Qingshi would offend people no matter who he gave the jade to. Many people were smiling and ready to watch the excitement.
Ling Qingshi also smiled, "The three nieces are all very good, but I didn't expect this situation before I came here. A piece of jade is not easy to divide, and this princess doesn't know you very well. It's not good for anyone. That's it, My concubine will give this jade to Huang Jie, Huang Jie is the mother of the three nieces, and she is a fair person, so she will know which niece is better to give the jade to."
Without giving the Eldest Princess a chance to refute, Bai Xue took the jade handed over by Ling Qingshi, put it into her purse, walked over in three or two steps and placed it on the table where the Eldest Princess put the teacups.
Ling Qingshi followed everyone's line of sight and saw that Mrs. Li's dress was very simple, and her clothes had also been improved, so she looked very suitable for fighting.
Seeing Ling Qingshi's gaze, Mrs. Li didn't hide, but said openly, "It's not that there are no men here today, the eldest princess insisted on putting the princess on the female guest's side, is it because she doesn't treat the princess as a man or not?" Don't treat us like women."
