Chapter 813 Change
Concubine Zhong has been doing a low-level job for a hundred years. After apologizing, Concubine Ma didn't bother to say anything more, and the matter just passed.
The upper seat was vacant, and Concubine Yu was sitting in the first seat on the left. She put down the teacup and coughed lightly, "The two concubines are invited to discuss with you. The palace is ready and you can move in. The princess means that if you want to move there, you can pack up the boxes and cages. The palace will arrange guards to send you away. If you don’t want to leave, you can stay here. Everything will be as usual. .”
Concubine Ma discussed it with her son. She is raising a son. Regardless of whether his son seeks employment or gets married in the future, she is not suitable to be here. What's more, as a side concubine, what can she do if she doesn't follow the prince?
Just listening to Concubine Yu say this, I feel very uncomfortable. What does she mean? Could it be that he still wants to keep them here and watch her domineering all day long?
"Sister Yu, what is your plan? Is it possible that you are not planning to go to Yanjing City? I heard that outside, all the princes and ministers who have a head and a face, there is no one who does not go to Yanjing City." The side concubine Ma said.
Concubine Ma said, a little annoyed, "Our princess, I don't know what to think, it seems that he doesn't want us to go, the son is going to get married, I heard that the date has been set long ago, and it's only now Let me know, this is not the intention for us to go to the scene, and recognize relatives."
Naturally, Concubine Yu would not accept Concubine Ma's words. They are concubines, but they are just a few concubines, and they may not be allowed to attend when they recognize their relatives.
She said, "The princess entrusted this family to me. If everyone doesn't leave, or one or two don't leave, I can't leave either. If everyone does, I will naturally follow."
Xiao Lingjing looked up at her mother in surprise. Didn't it be agreed just now that mother and she would stay in the capital and not go to Yanjing?
How did you change your mind now? She didn't know that her mother was advancing by retreat, or that she advanced and retreated freely.
She only pursed her lips, then lowered her head.
Concubine Ma saw Concubine Yu's thoughts in her eyes, and sneered in her heart. She was used to being the owner of the house, thinking that she didn't know how much benefit Concubine Yu had received in her pocket in the past two years.
Concubine Ma saw the pair of emerald butterfly gold hairpins on Xiao Lingjing's head.
After Concubine Yu finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Zhong and asked, "Sister Zhong, what about you? What are your plans?"
Without waiting for Concubine Zhong to speak, Xiao Lingyue said, "My mother and I have agreed to go to Yanjing City, my father is over there, I haven't seen my father for a long time, I miss him very much, and I don't know how my father is doing Yes, a daughter is very worried!"
As soon as these words came out, even if Concubine Yu wanted to persuade Concubine Zhong, she couldn't say it, so Xiao Lingyue must not be filial?
"What the fourth sister said is that we haven't seen the prince for a long time. Yesterday, your third sister also told me that she missed your father." Significantly.
Xiao Lingjing grabbed the hem of the skirt with her fingers, which happens when she gets nervous. How can you not be nervous? If the mother also went to Yanjing City, she would not be able to be in charge of the house. If she wanted to drink soup or have a snack in the middle of the night, would the kitchen still be so courteous to her?
Will you be the first to help her arrange clothes for all seasons, needlework?
In the past, she didn't think so, but now she understands that the difference between a concubine and a concubine is not just about identity. She is really unwilling to be an unknown concubine like before.
What if she stayed here with her mother? The entire palace is decided by the mother alone.
Concubine Ma and Concubine Zhong would go to Yanjing City without hesitation. After the matter was settled, the two of them went to pack the box and get up in about four or five days.
Concubine Yu took her daughter back to the yard, and before entering the door, Xiao Lingjing said, "Mother, why don't you stay here with me, my daughter doesn't want to go to Yanjing City, where people are unfamiliar, my daughter is afraid Go, be bullied."
Concubine Yu smiled, "Who will bully you? How can you say that you are the prince's daughter, who dares to bully you now?"
"Why not?" Xiao Lingjing took her mother's hand and shook it, "They are all the daughters of the prince, why is the elder sister the princess, but I am not?"
She pursed her lips and looked at her mother. The smile on Concubine Yu's face became a little stiff. Before, the prince didn't even care about the concubine's daughter. How could he think of the concubine's daughter? They can't care about it. No matter what, he couldn't get past his daughter-in-law.
Now, Xiao Lingsu is the princess, but her daughter is nothing.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yu made up her mind, "Then don't go, we two, just live here."
The news spread to Yanjing City, Xie Zhiwei learned that Concubine Ma and Concubine Zhong had brought people over, and asked Du Gui to tell Concubine Hua who had already moved to the palace, and asked her to open up the yard so that the people who came over could be accommodated. , while thinking, if Concubine Yu and Xiao Lingjing didn't move here, what would happen over there?
Seeing that the princess was frowning with worry, Mother Qiu couldn't help feeling distressed, and said in a deep voice, "It must be because I am used to being the head of the family. If I come here, there will not be a side concubine in the Xiangwang Mansion's house. It's just that , as long as the mother and daughter are there, the guards of the palace will no longer be the same as before, if something happens, wouldn't it be the princess' fault?"
Xie Zhiwei asked Du Gui, "Did you say why you didn't move here?"
Du Guidao, "According to the reply from the steward who came back, it is said that Concubine Yu has worked too hard as the housekeeper for the past two years, and her health is not good. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth like this, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Xie Zhi smiled, and said to Aunt Qiu, "You may be right, even the housekeeper said it. I can't be sure about this matter, I have to ask my father. go."
Xie Zhiwei asked someone to hitch up a carriage and went to Prince Xiang’s Mansion. Hearing that King Xiang was not there, he first went to talk to Aunt Hua Ying. In less than a cup of tea, the prince came back. When he heard that Xie Zhiwei was coming, he came over.
After seeing the ceremony, Xie Zhiwei said to King Xiang, "Father, my daughter-in-law asked someone to pick up the three concubines and younger brothers and sisters from the palace over there in the capital. The steward who is in charge of this matter came back today and said it was Concubine Ma and Concubine Zhong. Willing to bring the younger brothers and sisters to serve the father, Concubine Yu and the third younger sister decided to stay there."
King Xiang frowned and didn't take it seriously, "If you don't come, you won't come! Is it possible that this king should invite you?"
Xie Zhiwei knew it would be like this, and said with a smile, "Father, you are here in the palace, so naturally you are the most important thing. The manpower in the palace is not enough at the moment. The daughter-in-law means that I still need to mobilize some people from the palace in the capital to serve. The daughter-in-law Leave two people from the kitchen over there to be responsible for cleaning the palace, leave more guards, and let the rest come along with you, shall we?"
King Xiang waved his hand and said impatiently, "You can make arrangements, you have always made it right, and you don't need to discuss these things with me."
