"According to His Majesty's oral order, bestow the beauty and Jing Zhaoyin as side wives." The servant first bowed to Xu Shao, and then passed on the order of Emperor Yongchang.

Of course Xu Shao didn't dare to be negligent, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "I obey the order."

The servant bowed again to An Zichang, with a dust whisk in his arms, "His Majesty ordered me to bestow the beauty and Duke An as side wives."

An Zichang was not as respectful as Xu Shao.He stood up with a faint smile, walked around the two court ladies who had been pointed out to him by the servant, looked him up and down, shook his head and said, "It's really His Majesty's oral order?——I don't believe it. How about it, I will go into the palace with you to meet His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to simply give me a Duchess and Wife. What is the use of a concubine? She is still a concubine."

The faces of the two servants froze, and they quickly exchanged glances, then they each looked away and looked at An Zichang, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Duke An was joking. Of course it's His Majesty's decree..."

In fact, when Concubine Wan Gui was serving today, His Majesty got drunk and made a joke, saying that he wanted to share the beauty with his servants, and after speaking, he became so drunk that he passed out.

Concubine Wan Gui had an idea, and felt that it was a good opportunity to put people in the mansions of those ministers.She picked out a few girls from good families who were presented by her natal Wan family. Except Jingzhao Yin's mansion, An Guogong's mansion, and Yijun Wang's mansion, she gave them beauties and took the opportunity to explore the way.

It is not wrong to say that it is "His Majesty's oral order".

However, if the subject really wants to get to the bottom of it, after your Majesty sobers up, he will not take back the verbal order because of "you have no jokes".But it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied with the imperial concubine. ——Nowadays, there are too many new noble ladies in the palace, and many of them are talented and beautiful.Although the imperial concubine's status is high, her background is not high. Compared with those fresh and young ladies, her confidence is very insufficient.The only thing she can rely on is His Majesty's unfailing favor for her for many years.

If this matter breaks out, it's really hard to say whether His Majesty's love for the imperial concubine will be lessened because of this.

The two servants who delivered the decree were originally from Wan Guifei's palace.

In an instant, the two of them thought about seventeen or eighteen schemes, but they didn't know how to get the imperial concubine out.

An Zi often looked at the eyes of these two people.Knowing that there was a fraud, he had more confidence in his heart, and asked lazily: "Which empress palace are you from?"

The two servants even turned pale.

There is only one empress in the palace now, and the other concubines are not qualified to be called "empresses". ——Isn't it obvious that this is the work of Concubine Wan Gui?

Once the two servants gritted their teeth, they didn't let go. "We are all His Majesty's servants, what's the matter with which empress's palace? ——Is An Guogong trying to resist the edict?"

Anti-declaration is a big hat, no one can afford it.

An Zichang was no exception. He bowed his waist and cupped his fists, "Don't dare. Since it is His Majesty's oral order, I will not respect it. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." After finishing speaking, he called out to the outside of the central hall. "Come on!"

A man who looked like a servant ran in from outside the yard, "What orders does the Duke have?"

An Zichang originally lived in Jingzhao Yin's mansion, his own An Guogong's mansion was actually abandoned, and he didn't bother to repair it, so he kept the broken house and ruins there to recruit mountain foxes and wild ghosts.He didn't care if it was spread so miraculously in Chang'an City, but he intended to add bricks and tiles instead.It would be better to spread the rumors more widely.

An Zichang smiled and pointed at the two maids and said, "This is a beauty bestowed by His Majesty, you send it to Duke An's Mansion."

The boy was taken aback.He raised his head and wanted to speak, but seeing An Zichang's squinted eyes, he swallowed what he wanted to say, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll send my two older sisters back." The maid waved her hand, "Please, both of you."

Seeing An Zichang's more handsome face than a woman, and Yushu's demeanor, the two maids' hearts were already pounding.

A court lady boldly stepped forward and bowed her knees, "Master, won't you go back with us?"

An Zi often shook his head with a smile, "Go back first, I'll go back later. Let's go, don't be so wordy like an old woman." The maid blushed and hurriedly followed the boy out with her head down.

Seeing that the task here was successfully completed, the two servants exchanged another look, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Du Hengshuang returned home three times, but after watching such a scene unexpectedly, he was a little worried about his mother.

Although those two court ladies can't be said to be stunning, they are still young, with seven points of beauty, two points of dress, and one point of age, they are quite worthy of being very beauties.

No matter how stunning Fang Wuniang is, she is still over [-] years old.

Xu Shao didn't seem to care, so he called the two women over casually, stroked his short beard and thought for a while, and said: "Take it down, and just live with the two aunts. Two aunts."

Xu Shao has two concubines, both of whom are called Second Concubine and Third Concubine in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion.

These two are the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt.

The two wives rushed forward, saluted the two maids and said, "Please come down with the servants, fourth aunt and fifth aunt."

These two court ladies are the daughters of the Wan family's direct branch carefully selected by Concubine Wan Gui. They originally wanted to enter the palace to serve His Majesty just like Concubine Wan Gui.As a result, Concubine Wan Gui sent her out of the palace as soon as she changed hands. She was already quite worried, but now that she heard that she was still going to be a concubine, she turned pale.

The palace lady in the green dress on the left spoke first, "Wait a minute." Turning around, she blessed Xu Shao deeply, "Master Jing Zhaoyin, His Majesty ordered me to be side wives..." To the effect that he was called "" Fourth aunt and fifth aunt" were dissatisfied.

Xu Shao rubbed his nose with a puzzled look on his face, "From the second concubine onwards in our family, they are all concubines. You came later, so of course you can only come in the back."

The maid in the green skirt widened her eyes, "How is it possible?! The concubine is far from my concubine! If Mr. Jing Zhaoyin doesn't want to marry me as his concubine, we can just go back to the palace, and you don't need to worry about it!" The second room called "Marry", my aunt called "Na", it is indeed different.

The aunt can only be called the aunt, but the second room can be called "Madame".You can even let your husband ask for a royal order.With the backing of Concubine Wan Gui, no matter which family they enter as the second house, they can be half of the family, and it will not be a problem to run the original mistress down.

But if you're just an aunt, you won't be able to make waves, let alone compete with the wife for power.

Besides, what does Concubine Wan Gui want a relative who is a concubine?If Xu Shao is really allowed to confirm their status, Concubine Wan Gui will definitely leave her alone in the future.

Of course, these two maids fought hard according to reason, and they were unwilling to be vaguely designated as "aunts" by Xu Shao.

Du Hengshuang was secretly anxious when she saw it, and kept looking at Fang Wuniang.I want her to say something.

Ou Yangniang had taught her that the mistress had the final say on the affairs of the rear house.Although a man is the head of the family, he should not intervene too much in the affairs of the rear house.

Fang Wuniang sat on the Diaoyutai with a smile on her face, watching a play with the big guys, and she almost took out a cloud board to beat the time.

Xiao Shiji sat next to Du Hengshuang.Seeing this, she gently tugged on her sleeve.

Du Hengshuang turned around and saw Xiao Shiji shaking his head slightly at her, so he sighed softly and turned his gaze to the two court ladies.

Xu Yanhui half-closed his eyes, stepped in and sat on the chair, indifferent to these situations in the hall.

Xu Yanbang's eyes always slipped to Du Hengxue who was sitting diagonally across from him.

Du Hengxue opened his eyes wide.I watched with gusto.

An Zichang had already returned to his seat with a smile and sat down, crossing his arms to see how Xu Shao would respond.

Seeing these two palace maids just refused to be aunts.Of course Xu Shao would not give them the title of second wife, so he could only smile and said in the end: "In this case, I will send the two girls back to the palace. Concubine Wan Gui returned to her life, for the sake of the two fathers and brothers, Concubine Wan Gui will definitely not make things difficult for you two." She actually opened her mouth.Just pointed out the identities of the two of them.

Both An Zichang and Xiao Shiji changed their expressions. ——From Xu Shao's tone, not only did he know that these two court ladies belonged to Concubine Wan Gui.It also seems to know who their family members are.It is not surprising to know Concubine Wan Gui, but it is a bit unusual to know the net worth of the two court ladies.

Xiao Shiji knew about these things, but because he happened to be entrusted by Yi County King to watch the recruitment and selection in the womb for a while, so he knew the noble and good girls who entered the palace like the palm of his hand.

Xu Shao has nothing to do with this area, but he knows no less than Xiao Shiji.

The two maids were also a little surprised, exchanged glances with each other, and quickly made a decision. ——They definitely wouldn’t do it as aunts.Since they couldn't be the second wife, they had no choice but to return to the palace.Even if my aunt wanted to blame her, it was indeed like what Jing Zhaoyin said, she still had to think about her father and brother.Without her natal family, why would Concubine Wan Gui gain a foothold in the deep palace?

"Then trouble Jing Zhaoyin to send us back to the palace." The two maids also knew what happened today, and it was Concubine Wan Gui's idea.They are going back now, maybe His Majesty is still drunk.

With a big wave of Xu Shao's hand, he ordered his servants to bring two plates of Wenyin, and said to the two maids: "You two come to my house, and you can't return empty-handed. Shocked."

The two palace maids also became more reserved, gave a half-respect to Xu Shao, and then went out with Xu Shao.

Xu Shao set up the car himself and sent them back to the palace.

An Zichang looked at Xu Shao's leaving back silently, sighed that Jiang was still hot, and stood up and said: "Today is the day when my aunt and grandma return home for three times, let's ignore them."—Come on, aunt Come drink with us!" He patted Xiao Shiji on the shoulder and wanted to take him out.

Xiao Shiji glanced at Fang Wuniang.

Fang Wuniang smiled and waved, "Go, go, have a good drink with them, and I will take my daughter in to rest."

Xiao Shiji knew that it was Fang Wuniang who wanted to talk to Du Hengshuang, so he quickly nodded and said to Du Hengshuang: "Talk to your mother-in-law carefully, I will take you home after dinner."

Du Hengshuang was still nodding with a smile, Du Hengxue couldn't wait to jump up, took Du Hengshuang's arm, and pushed her into Fang Wuniang's inner room together.

When they came to Fang Wuniang's inner room, Fang Wuniang pushed Du Hengxue away first: "Go to the kitchen and see how the Huaishan old duck soup and stewed crab meat lion's head that I specially prepared for your sister are doing. Those cooks are not as good as you. , you go and take good care of it."

Du Hengxue has always been more interested in cooking than in female celebrities.Because Du Hengshuang loves to eat Huaiyang cuisine, Du Hengxue has practiced Huaiyang cuisine in private, and at this time, she happens to have a long face in front of her sister.

He happily agreed, and took his maid and mother-in-law to Fang Wuniang's small kitchen to oversee the work.

Du Hengshuang smiled and said angrily: "Mother, what are you doing to play tricks on Xue'er?"

Fang Wuniang said seriously: "Why is it a trick? The only cook in our family who can cook Huaiyang cuisine was originally sent by the eldest son-in-law, and she followed you to the Xiao family as a dowry. You will eat authentic Huaiyang cuisine when you return home. , can't your sister do it herself?" She said proudly, "Don't tell me, your sister is a good cook, there is really no choice, and in the future you will marry a small family, and the young couple will live behind closed doors, don't mention it. What a joy!"

Du Hengshuang saw the scene of His Majesty bestowing a beauty today, and deeply felt that being an official was too much, and there was no benefit.If His Majesty grants Xiao Shiji two beauties, she really doesn't know what to do.

Du Hengshuang hugged Fang Wuniang's arms and legs and sat obliquely on the couch, and said with a smile, "That's right, does your mother have any clues?"

Fang Wuniang was just about to talk about Du Hengxue's selection of her husband's family, when she suddenly remembered that it was Du Hengshuang who came back today, all talking about what Du Hengxue was doing?Pointing at the tip of Du Hengshuang's delicate nose, he said with a smile, "I was almost fooled by you girl. Tell me, what troubles did you encounter at your in-law's house?"

Du Hengshuang suppressed the desire to confide in his heart, shook his head, searched hard to find something to reassure Fang Wuniang, and deliberately said nonchalantly: "No, I don't have any troubles at Xiao's house. Mother also knows, Shiji took his house Even if he wants to change his mind in the future, he has to weigh it carefully. If it makes me unhappy, I will vacate all his shops and let him and his family drink the northwest wind!"

"Yo, that's a good thing. If you pinch his purse, you're also pinching his lifeline." Fang Wuniang clapped her palms and laughed loudly. After laughing, she asked in a low voice, "Your mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"No." Du Hengshuang said softly.It's true that she hasn't had time yet, she has only been married for three days, and tomorrow is the day when she will truly become the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.

These three days should be regarded as the first dividends paid for her troubled days in the future.

Fang Wuniang looked at Du Hengshuang carefully, and saw that although she was smiling happily, but the smile did not reach her eyes, she knew that Du Hengshuang was not telling the truth.

"Shuang'er, I'm your mother, what can't you say to me?" Fang Wuniang patted Du Hengshuang's hand, her voice lowered.

Du Hengshuang rolled his eyes, but he still didn't say anything about the bed curtain, but nodded heavily, "Mother, I really have something to say. Mother, please tell me carefully, what kind of person is my mother-in-law?" Fang Wuniang and Long Xiang Ye Xiangjiao should have known Long Xiangye best for most of his life.

Du Xiancheng taught her that there is a saying in the art of war that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
