Chapter 206: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress
"Madam." Liu Fangniang looked at Song Xia with burning eyes, her expression couldn't stop being proud, and she sat down on the chair beside her without waiting for Song Xia to say anything.

Song Xia put down her teacup gently, but just enough to make people aware of her displeased attitude.

"Before the Queen's decree comes down, Aunt Liu has broken the rules. If word spreads, I don't know if the palace will care."

Liu Fangniang's face changed, and she gritted her teeth at Song Xia. Could it be that at this time, this person wanted to do something to ruin the marriage?
But before she said anything, Zhou Yongli frowned: "Sister Ying, you seem to be very unhappy."

"Should I be happy, sir? The daughter of the dignified Minister of Rites actually had a secret meeting with His Highness Prince Huai. If word spread, wouldn't it hinder the reputation of the entire Zhou family?"

Liu Fangniang hummed softly: "Being able to marry King Huai is something that many people in the capital would envy. Sister Ying is getting married at a high age. Madam should be happy. Why are you still saying these depressing words?"

Song Xia looked at Liu Fangniang coldly: "Did I let you speak? Even if Sister Ying climbs on a high branch, it can't change your identity. You are short-sighted. I haven't settled the matter of Aunt Meng's lost child with you yet. What do you want to prove with all your beauty?"

After scolding her, Song Xia said to Zhou Yongli: "Even if he dotes on Aunt Liu, Mr. Meng should not let Aunt Meng feel cold. Before the Queen Mother's decree came down, Mr. Lang and Aunt Liu looked complacent. Why, do you think that since Sister Ying married King Huai, Aunt Liu's status will be higher than mine?"

Liu Fangniang's expression changed again and again. She never expected that Song Xia would still be so stubborn at this time.

Sister Ying is not marrying an ordinary nobleman, Sister Ying is marrying His Highness Prince Huai!
"Mr. Lang feels sorry for Aunt Liu. As the mistress of this palace, I cannot be unfair. When Aunt Liu is proud, don't forget to come to the main courtyard on time every day."

Liu Fangniang looked at Zhou Yongli aggrievedly. Sister Ying wanted to marry King Huai for trying so hard for her, so she still wanted to follow Song Xia's rules?How dare Song Xia?
Zhou Yongli also darkened his face: "Song Xia, just for Sister Ying, you shouldn't embarrass Fangniang anymore."

"It's a rule for a concubine to serve the mistress, but it's embarrassing for the husband. Aunt Gao and Aunt Meng come to pay their respects to me every day, why don't you see the husband say a word for them?"

"How can this be the same?"

"Aren't they all concubines, how are they different? Or does Mr. Lang feel that the status of Sister Ying, born by Aunt Liu, will be different if she joins Prince Huai? Is it possible that he still wants the county master to give her the position of mistress? Can’t you let me out? Zhou Yongli, things haven’t changed yet!”

Song Xia looked at the two of them mockingly: "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Lang has no reason to change the etiquette for Aunt Liu as a concubine. Otherwise, we will go to the palace to comment and see what the Queen has to say."

Zhou Yongli looked at her bitterly: "Now that Sister Ying is promising, can't you give Fang Niang some dignity?"

"No." Song Xia raised her lips and smiled, "A concubine is a concubine. I don't want to see her acting arrogant. Otherwise, if word spreads, others will think that the county master doesn't know how to manage the house."

Liu Fangniang stood up suddenly: "Song Xia, my daughter will soon be King Huai's concubine, aren't you afraid?"

Song Xia's face suddenly darkened: "Zhang Zui."

Without saying a word, Mammy went up and gave Liu Fangniang a mouthful of words.

Song Xia sneered: "Mr. Sir, have you seen this? This is the rule of your beloved Aunt Liu. This Sister Ying is already so arrogant even before she enters Prince Huai's Mansion. Once she gets married, will she still ride on my wife?" On the head? Those who knew she was marrying to King Huai as a concubine, but those who didn’t know thought she was marrying to be a queen! Even the current queen is extremely polite to me."

Zhou Yongli was speechless and speechless, while Liu Fangniang's eyes turned red with anger as she received two slap marks.

She thought she would be able to straighten her back from now on, but she didn't expect that Song Xia would still be so arrogant!

His Royal Highness King Huai is the one who is going to ascend the throne of God. When the time comes, Sister Ying will be the imperial concubine. Let’s see how proud you can be, Song Xia! "Is there anything else? Master, please go back if you don't. It's a bit early to enter the palace today. I have to rest. Aunt Liu will stay here to take care of me."

Zhou Yongli said quickly: "There is one more thing. How are you going to prepare Sister Ying's dowry?"

"Dowry? Doesn't the government have regulations? What else should I prepare?"

Liu Fangniang's chest began to rise and fall again. Sister Ying was going to marry His Highness Prince Huai. How could it be calculated according to the general marriage regulations for concubines?

Zhou Yongli also said in a deep voice: "I know you have always been unhappy with Fang Niang and Sister Ying, but Sister Ying is marrying His Highness Prince Huai!"

Song Xia sneered: "Mr. Lang, do you mean that the dowry given according to regulations is less? Mang Jun, please don't forget that Sister Ying was just a concubine when she was married."

"You also know that she is a concubine, and the concubine of His Highness Prince Huai is also of high rank."

"Mr. Lang has probably forgotten that there is a principal concubine, two side concubines and three concubines in front of Sister Ying. Sister Ying enters the palace later and cannot pass these concubines. Lang Jun does not check first before questioning. Do you want to check the dowry of these people when they married into Prince Huai’s Mansion?”

Liu Fangniang looked at Zhou Yongli eagerly, but saw Zhou Yongli's expression change.

His Royal Highness King Huai's concubine is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was born in a poor family and had a reputation for being honest and fair among the people. Therefore, when the Prime Minister's granddaughter married King Huai, the dowry was only average, and His Majesty even made fun of her at that time.

However, His Majesty was making fun of him on the surface, but in reality he was praising the Prime Minister for being a clean and honest official, and subsequently gave him many good things.

There was a dowry in front of the princess, and the two concubines in the back entered the palace and did not dare to go beyond it, so they reduced it by [-]%. When it came to the three concubines in the back, I was afraid that it would have to be reduced even more.

So Song Xia did the right thing, Sister Ying really couldn't have a heavy dowry.

"His Majesty has always been doting on His Highness Prince Huai. His Highness Prince Huai is not short of Sister Ying's dowry, so he won't care about it. If our Zhou Mansion gives too much dowry, I'm afraid the families of those empresses will think that our Zhou Mansion The provocation will be reported to His Majesty... Lang Jun, are you, the Minister of Rites, still doing your job?"

Knowing that Song Xia did it on purpose, Zhou Yongli still had to say thanks: "Madam is still thoughtful."

Liu Fangniang opened her mouth in shock, so Sister Ying's generous dowry is gone?

"Yonglang..."

"Shut up!" Song Xia scolded again, "I said you have no right to speak here. Fortunately, I asked the maids and maids in the palace to teach Sister Ying the rules. Otherwise, I would have followed you and married to Prince Huai's Mansion. The county owner is not worried either."

Liu Fangniang's face was distorted. Sister Ying was able to win the favor of King Huai because she was obviously the one who helped it. In addition, Sister Ying was lovable. Why did Song Xia say it was all her fault?

Now that we have reached this point, how dare Song Xia do this to herself?Isn't she afraid?
