Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 106

Ruyi woke up the next day, and lay on the bed to welcome the newlywed Princess Anrui.

Princess Anrui originally wanted to go to the palace with her son-in-law to pay her respects the next day after marriage, but at that time Ruyi was still struggling to give birth, so it was naturally impossible for Zhao Qingze to receive her, so Anrui returned to the palace on the second day. Accepted the Queen Mother's interview.

When mentioning this matter, An Rui was also a little silent, and in the end he just said: "The empress dowager seems to be a little different from before."

When the Empress Dowager was still a queen, An Rui had to pay her respects to the aunt every day. Although the aunt didn't get close to her, she never... An Rui didn't know how to describe this feeling.In less than a year, the Empress Dowager seemed to be a different person, looking very gloomy and full of hostility.

Fortunately, Anrui is only a married princess, and there is no great conflict of interest with the queen mother, but she still listened to the queen mother saying a lot of unhealthy things. The son-in-law left the palace together.

However, Anrui looked at Ruyi who was lying on the bed with a not-so-good expression, and said worriedly: "The queen mother is recovering now, sister-in-law will return to the palace in the future, please be careful."

An Rui's temperament has always been cautious, and being able to speak to this point can be regarded as sincerely treating Ruyi.

Ruyi nodded with a smile, then smiled and asked a few words about Anrui's marriage, and learned that the two old ladies in Ninghou's mansion treated her kindly. With a ruddy complexion, he guessed that life was going well.

Finally, Ruyi said to Anrui: "You haven't seen Tianyou yet, I'll let someone take you to have a look, and I will let your emperor brother accompany you and your husband to eat lunch. I am not in good health to get up now, but I'm negligent, but fortunately you can often come to accompany me in the future."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. Today, I and the son-in-law disturbed sister-in-law. Let's rest, sister-in-law. I'll go and see my little nephew. Don't disturb sister-in-law!"

Anrui looked at Ruyi's face with a bit of fatigue. When she got married, she knew that it was difficult for Ruyi to conceive this child. Now that she was born prematurely again, it must have hurt her energy, so she stood up quickly. , said in a low voice.

"Don't say that, I need you to talk to me more in the future!"

Ruyi smiled and looked at Anrui speaking sincerely.

Speaking of Ruyi, there are really few people who can talk to each other. People of similar age, the difference between Shaoyao and Fangcao's master and servant, although there is emotion, is the difference in dignity.

As for Mrs. Cao, don't say that Ruyi just respects her as an elder. In fact, Ruyi also understands in her heart that her feelings for Mrs. Cao are not so pure, and perhaps there is a feeling of being used by both parties.

Speaking of which, although An Rui treats her to please and take advantage of her, she is not so innocent in this position. At least An Rui now has nothing more to ask of her.

Moreover, An Rui's personality is somewhat similar to hers, both of them have a somewhat submissive temperament, and they get along harmoniously.

An Rui backed away in response, Ruyi looked at An Rui's figure, and whispered to Shao Yao who was standing beside her, "It's really good to see An Rui look so happy."

Shaoyao smiled and said to Ruyi: "Your Majesty thinks Princess Anrui is good, but this servant thinks, Madam, you are the happiest person! The emperor is the most honorable man in the world, yet he has such deep affection for Madam."

Ruyi laughed when she heard the words, and nodded lightly while smiling: "Yes, you are right, I am indeed a bit of a blessing and don't know the blessing."

As Ruyi said, the smile on her face deepened slightly, and she was also a little melancholy. The most important thing for a man as outstanding and outstanding as Zhao Qingze is a man who really cares about her. Even in her last life, she probably had no chance to meet.In this life, although she has lost a lot, at least she has gained.

Huang Jingting has never liked to eat meals with the Chen family. After she married Chen Wenhan, she once shared a table with the Chen family. Since then, she has let the kitchen make her own meals and send them to the house for single use.

Chen Wenhan would have dinner with her, but lunch was provided in the Hanlin Academy, but he seldom used it at home, so Huang Jingting got used to it alone.

After seeing off Chen Wenhan in the morning, she stayed alone in the room reading a book, and it took a whole morning. When she realized that she was a little hungry, she raised her head and asked the little maid who was standing beside her.

"What time is it?"

"Ma'am, it's noon."

The little maid looked a little uncomfortable, and replied softly.

"Noon?" Huang Jingting put down the book in her hand, with a surprised expression on her face, "Why hasn't the kitchen delivered lunch at this time?"

Huang Jingting looked at the little girl strangely. Normally, she wouldn't pay attention when it was time for meals. It was the people around her who set up meals to remind her. But today it was a little strange, the kitchen didn't bring the meals, The maid didn't remind her either.

"Ma'am, I have already gone to urge you, but the kitchen is busy now."

The little maid didn't know what to say, she lowered her head and didn't dare to meet Huang Jingting's gaze.

"What are you busy with? There is no banquet at home, so why can't even lunch be delivered on time?"

Although the housekeeper of the Chen family is in Huang Jingting's hands, Huang Jingting seldom cares about such mundane matters. In fact, it doesn't care about things.

The little maid knew that at this moment, she couldn't hide it, so she said softly: "The kitchen will cook for the old man and old ladies first."

"what!"

Huang Jingting stood up in disbelief, and said, "You are not mistaken."

The little maid nodded, and then said softly: "The kitchen hasn't uploaded the meal, so I asked someone to see it."

Not only Huang Jingting couldn't believe it, even the little maid felt a little unbelievable.Although Huang Jingting had to eat alone in the room, it was a little unruly, but the Chen family held Huang Jingting, and no one said anything. Huang Jingting's meals are prepared first and sent to Huang Jingting, but the rest of the Chen family always gather together to eat, and Huang Jingting has long been used to this kind of preferential treatment.Now that he suddenly heard that he was being treated slowly, he was naturally angry.

Just as I was talking, the woman below brought me two baskets containing food. Seeing this, the little maid said, "Ma'am, don't be angry, first use the food and then go back and deal with those scumbags." !"

Huang Jingting nodded, but she was a little pensive: Diao Nu?I'm afraid it's not just Diao Nu, the Chen family obviously has problems too.She has always been sensitive, not to mention other people, just her own mother-in-law makes her feel a little weird.

In the past, Mother Chen has always been extremely courteous and courteous to her.When I met her back home, I always greeted her with care, but it was fine if I couldn't see her for the past few days, but when she appeared yesterday, she was extremely indifferent to her.

Although Huang Jingting couldn't understand Mother Chen's flattering eyebrows, this indifferent look made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Huang Jingting didn't pay much attention to it yesterday, but when combined with today's events, it made her connect, and it was inevitable that she felt a little upset.

The Chen family, is it because she and Chen Wenhan are too used to them that they don't take her so seriously?

I don't even think about it, who are they relying on for what they eat and drink now, and the old lady who has changed from a country mud leg to a servant girl?

Huang Jingting pulled the veil hard twice, and urged the little maid in a somewhat impatient tone: "Hurry up, I'm hungry!"

When she turned her head to look, she saw the little maid standing stiffly in front of the dining table.

She also felt a different feeling, so she walked to the dining table, but at this glance, she was so angry that she almost swept all the food on the table to the ground.

"What is this, such a meal dares to be used by me!"

Huang Jingting has always been pampered since she was a child, and the meals she prepared on weekdays are also extremely meticulous, but the few dishes in front of her, just from the appearance, have already made Huang Jingting lose her appetite, and the meals she brought out have already lost their heat .

"Okay, that's what the Chen family did to me!"

Huang Jingting's anger rose in her heart, and she walked out of the room without saying a word.

Seeing this, the little maid hurriedly followed.

When Huang Jingting arrived at the courtyard where Chen's father and Chen's mother lived now, the family was eating around a big table.

Seeing Huang Jingting walking in, everyone had subtle expressions on their faces. The sister-in-law of the Chen family put down the bowls and spoons that were feeding the children, and stood up with a smile: "Why are the second siblings here? Have you had lunch? If so?" No, I'll ask my servants to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

The sister-in-law of the Chen family also had good intentions and didn't want to conflict with this younger sibling, but when Huang Jingting heard these words, it had a different meaning.

Huang Jingting walked to the dining table with a sneer, looked at the food that had already been eaten, and said, "It turns out that I, the prime minister's daughter, in the eyes of your Chen family, just eats the leftovers of your Chen family! "

As soon as Huang Jingting said this, everyone present changed their faces.

The sister-in-law of the Chen family looked at Mother Chen with embarrassment, and Lin said softly, "Second sister-in-law, sister-in-law didn't mean that, sister-in-law meant well."

"What are you, you deserve to talk to me."

Huang Jingting glared at Lin with disgust, and what she said made Lin's eyes red.

Seeing his wife being bullied, Chen Wenjun looked at Huang Jingting with a bit of condemnation in his eyes.

Huang Jingting didn't pay attention to these two people at all, she just snorted coldly, she wanted to say something more.At this time, Chen's mother suddenly said: "Jing Ting, you are going too far."

Chen's mother's words caused everyone at the dinner table to look at her in surprise, but Huang Jingting was even more angry.

"Then how do you want me to talk, mother-in-law? Do you want me to apologize to her?"

Huang Jingting asked mockingly, but Mother Chen nodded her head and said: "At first you were the third daughter-in-law in the garden, she was generous and didn't care about you, but now, instead of restraining yourself, you still talk like this. You are a daughter-in-law, our Chen family, Wen Han and I have never treated you badly, we have endured all your demands, but you have gone too far, even forgetting that you are a junior and a daughter-in-law!"

"What is my identity?"

Huang Jingting stared at Chen's mother, "You old Mo speaks so nicely, the reason why you and your father-in-law please me is really because of your generosity, because I am the prime minister's daughter, you are now The food, clothing and clothes are not from my dowry. If Chen Wenhan didn't marry me, would he be able to stay in this capital? Since you rely on me, you are qualified to comment on what I do ?"

"Want to use my dowry and treat me harshly. Are you Chen's family not guilty of doing this? Let me tell you, I don't rely on you. If the daughter of my dignified prime minister really pushes me, I will have nothing to do with Chen Wenhan." After a while, I'll go home, just to see how your Chen family is going on."

When Huang Jingting said this, it was like tearing off the fig leaf between the two parties, but Huang Jingting didn't regret it at all, she just felt refreshed in her heart, and she wanted to say this a long time ago.

But Chen's father and Chen's mother had a very ugly expression on their faces. Chen's father stretched out his hand to pull Chen's mother, trying to make her calm down, but Chen's mother suddenly patted the table and stood up.

"Okay, you want to make peace with Wenhan, don't you? You want to go back to your prime minister's mansion, then you go, don't stay in our Chen mansion."

"mother!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone at the dinner table cried out in surprise.The sister-in-law of the Chen family hurriedly said: "Second brother and sister, mother didn't mean to say this, don't take it to heart."

However, it was already too late to say this. Huang Jingting had never been so angry since she was a child. She only felt that she was insulted. Her face turned pale with anger, but she was gnashing her teeth.

"Okay, you guys dare to drive me away, just wait and see how my father will deal with you!"

As Huang Jingting spoke, her eyes began to turn red. Although she was arrogant, she was a daughter who was spoiled by her boudoir since she was a child. Hearing this, she couldn't stand it anymore.

While speaking, she pointed to everyone present, her eyes widened, as if she wanted to remember them.

When Chen's mother said something, she regretted it a little.

Although she didn't like Huang Jingting, Huang Jingting's identity and background were rare, and she just wanted to suppress the momentum of the second daughter-in-law, and never thought about falling out.

But seeing Huang Jingting's words getting more and more harsh, she felt a little embarrassed.

Huang Jingting kept raising her father who was the prime minister, she felt noble, and she couldn't hold back anymore, she couldn't help but said: "The lady in the prime minister's mansion is noble, but you were the one who wanted to marry Wen Han at the beginning. , If I knew you had such a temperament, I would never let Wen Han marry you."

"Chen Wenhan wanted to marry me back then, but now your Chen family is too embarrassed to admit it. I can see through the face of your Chen family. It is extremely shameless."

Huang Jingting was completely shocked. She never thought that the Chen family would be so shameless that even white people could be called black.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Mother Chen's face was also a bit unsightly, she defended: "With our family Wenhan, we can't find any kind of lady from a famous family if we want to find, do we need to ask you to marry me! Even the imperial concubine will marry Wenhan , at that time, it might be even more radiant than marrying you!"

Huang Jingting stopped in her tracks when she heard the words, and said with a mocking smile: "Your concubine, are you your daughter when you are a concubine? It's really funny to marry Chen Wenhan. If you hadn't begged my father back then, where would Chen Wenhan be now?" I don’t even know how to be a small official in a remote place, how can I stay in the Hanlin Academy as a good scholar, and I even brought all of you who beat the autumn wind here!”

"Huang Jingting, since you've said so much today, I won't recognize you as a daughter-in-law anymore. To tell you the truth, your father is the prime minister and a high-ranking official, but my daughter is the imperial concubine Chaozhao. , the prince is my grandson, and now my daughter gave birth to another prince to the emperor, and she may become the queen that day. Wen Han will be the uncle of the country, so don't beg Wen Han to come back!" Mother Chen listened to Huang Jingting's words Sarcasm, he could no longer hide his words in his heart, and he put aside what Chen Wenhan told her to keep this secret first, and spoke out all at once.

After she finished speaking, she saw that everyone was looking at her like a madman, and Huang Jingting laughed unceremoniously: "Could it be that you have delusional disorder? The funniest joke ever. Okay, I won’t beg to come back, I just hope that Chen Wenhan will simply write a letter of reconciliation with me, and don’t come to Baba to beg me to return to Chen’s residence.”

Huang Jingting turned around and walked out of the hall.

After Huang Jingting left, the anger that Chen's mother had held in her stomach gradually dissipated. She sat back on the chair, but saw people in the hall looking at her strangely. She pursed her lips, He said: "Everyone is watching what I do, eat!"

When she said that to Huang Jingting just now, she had already changed her identity in her heart. She was not the mother of a small official in the capital, but the mother of a noble concubine. No matter what, she was no longer an ordinary woman.

"Father, do you want to invite a doctor back!"

Chen Wenjun didn't hide his mouth when he was young, and said to Chen's father aloud, but this was what the juniors wanted to say.

Before Chen's father could speak, Chen's mother seemed to have stepped on her tail when she heard the words, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you child, you also believe Huang Jingting's words, your mother is not crazy!"

"But……"

Chen Wenjun blinked twice, and looked at his wife for help, but Mrs. Lin was also a little lost. No matter how she looked at it, Chen's mother seemed to have lost her mind.

"Let me tell you the truth!"

Chen's mother put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said slowly, "Wen Han planned to wait until the matter is over before telling you, but since I have already spoken out today, I should explain clearly to you. Liuya, the youngest of you That younger sister entered the palace as a court lady, Wen Han has checked it out, and now Liuya has changed her name to Ruyi and has become a noble concubine."

"Mom... are you telling the truth?"

If it was true, everyone would be overjoyed, but this matter is too bizarre, even if what Chen's mother said is well-founded, and she doesn't look like she has lost her mind, they still can't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Wenhan when he comes back tonight!"

Chen's mother was not in a hurry, she just ate slowly, this sure look made everyone believe a little bit, and a different kind of excitement gradually rose in their hearts.

If their daughter and sister really become imperial concubines, then they...
