Red makeup against the world

Chapter 714 The Uninvited Guest

There is a troupe of female musicians in Prince Qi's mansion, not to mention female gentlemen, even if they are performing a play, even the stage is ready-made.It's just that the opera was too noisy, Princess Qi wanted to have a good talk with Lu Shi, so she didn't let the stage prepare.

Hearing this, Princess Qi nodded, and smiled apologetically at Xu Wanzhen: "The side concubine is still considerate, and I really hit it off with the eldest concubine, so I just talked too much, the second young lady should not blame me."

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, and said: "The conversation between the elder sister-in-law and the princess is extremely interesting, and the concubine does not find it boring."

Concubine Yao's face couldn't help turning a little greener.When she said this, it seemed that she couldn't hold her breath and wanted to listen to books.

Xu Wanzhen said again: "It's just that it's hard to be a guest in the palace. If you don't listen to the storytelling in the palace, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

After all, even you want to hear it, why pretend to be elegant!Concubine Yao slandered inwardly.

After just a cup of tea, the storyteller arrives and presents a brochure for the two of them to order stories and listen to the book.

After a long while like this, it was almost noon.Princess Qi invited everyone to have dinner in the next room.

The prince of Qi came back with his younger siblings, and Wu Chao also walked in front with a smile, holding a wooden sword in his hand.

Seeing Lu's staring eyes, Wu Chao hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty, saying: "Mother, this is given to me by Brother Shizi. It is his favorite toy in the past, and now he is giving it to me."

"Since it is the son's wish, you can keep it." Lu Shi nodded slightly, it was not a valuable item, and she was happy to see the two of them getting along.

By the time we arrived, the meals had already been prepared.Looking at the seating arrangement, there is a table for adults and a table for children.Sure enough, as Princess Qi said, today we only talk about seniority, not superiority.

Everyone was waiting to be seated, when a arrogant female voice came from outside, "Since there is a banquet, why don't you invite me? Is this how your palace treats guests?"

Looking at the door, a bright and beautiful lady appeared at the door. Judging by her hair style, she should be a [-]-year-old girl who has not yet married.Judging by appearance, she is quite similar to Concubine Yao, but she is three points more beautiful than her.

"Why are you here?" Seeing this sister-in-law, Concubine Yao was in a worse mood than Princess Qi at the moment.

"Why can't I come?" She stepped into the room with a long leg, looked around and said: "I have lived in the palace for half a month, but now that the distinguished guests come, there is no place for me?"

She has a bright face, but her expression is aggressive.Don't say that even Princess Qi has no respect for her own sister.

Princess Qi said coldly: "Since you're here, find a place to sit down by yourself. Do you want me to invite you?"

Xu Wanzhen and Lu Shi looked at each other, what kind of background is this woman?Judging from her appearance, she must be the younger sister of Concubine Yao, how could she be more arrogant than her?
Today's visit to this palace can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Xu Wanzhen made up her mind to watch the fire from the other side. Naturally, the eldest concubine Lu Shi was worried about the affairs of the Qi Palace.She is a concubine and daughter-in-law, so it's better not to stand out.

However, even though she had a good plan, the woman did not let her go.

She took a step forward, passed Princess Qi and Shi Lu, and came to Xu Wanzhen.With a disdainful gaze, he looked her up and down, and said, "You are Xu Wanzhen? Commander Wu's wife?"

Don't call her the second young lady, but just name Wu Zhengxiang's official title, what is she planning.Xu Wanzhen was very sure that he had never provoked her.Such a bright beauty is unforgettable, she has never seen it before.

Heart turned like electricity, Xu Wanzhen's face sank, and she shouted: "Presumptuous! Who are you, you should pay me a visit when you see me, how dare you call me by my name?"

As soon as she showed her power, everyone's eyes fell on her.Unexpectedly, she, who had been silently serving as an accompanying guest before, would have a frightening coercion when she got angry.

At this time, everyone remembered that besides being Wu Zhengxiang's wife, she was also a second-rank wife appointed by the emperor himself.She doesn't care about it, which doesn't mean she won't make a fuss about her status.

The woman flinched obviously, then straightened her chest and said, "I'm Yao Zhiyue! You should have heard my name before."

Xu Wanzhen naturally knew that Concubine Yao was the eldest daughter of Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of War.Although she is a concubine, as the eldest daughter of a second-rank official who holds real power, she is qualified enough to be the side concubine of King Qi.

King Qi made her a side concubine and allowed her to give birth to two children, which meant that he would win over Yao Shangshu.

Because of Yao's concubine, Xu Wanzhen also paid attention to Yao Shangshu's family situation.This arrogant Yao Zhiyue is Yao Shangshu's first daughter.

She has just reached Ji now, she is eight or nine years younger than Concubine Yao, and is the old son of Yao Shangshu.Mrs. Yao has always doted on this youngest daughter from the first line, she is really afraid of melting if she holds it in her mouth, and afraid of falling if she holds it in her palm.

On a whim, she wanted to live in Prince Qi's mansion for a period of time to open her eyes.Mrs. Yao hurriedly sent someone to tell Concubine Yao to find a way.

When Concubine Yao got married, Yao Zhiyue was still very young.The two sisters are very different in age, so naturally they get along less.Later, I heard about her arrogant reputation, but I never personally experienced it.

Although Concubine Yao felt embarrassed about this request from her aunt, she reluctantly complied and went to ask King Qi.King Qi wholeheartedly wanted to win over the court officials, so he agreed without hesitation, and asked Princess Qi to treat each other with courtesy.

Concubine Qi thought to herself, but she was just entertaining a young lady from the concubine.At her age, when she likes fancy clothes and jewels the most, as long as she is willing to give up money, even if she is offered, it will not be difficult to make her happy.

However, both Concubine Qi and Concubine Yao underestimated Yao Zhiyue's arrogance.

When she came to the palace, Princess Qi first entertained her with delicious food and drinks.A boudoir was arranged for her in the courtyard of Concubine Yao, so that the two sisters could get close and close, and a little maid was assigned to serve her.He also allowed her to play anywhere in the back garden.

Unexpectedly, they didn't accept this kind of affection at all, and they disliked the concubine Yao's status as a concubine, so they were not worthy of living with her.

Although Concubine Yao is a concubine, as the eldest daughter, she has never felt idle.What's more, after marrying into Prince Qi's mansion, King Qi treated her well, and she has never been looked down upon like this.

Concubine Yao was so angry that she cried to King Qi, but King Qi didn't expect Yao Zhiyue to have such a temperament.But she had already come to visit her as a guest, if she rushed back like this, there would have to be a gap between Yao Shangshu and her.

He had to coax Side Concubine Yao well, and let Concubine Qi set aside a yard for her to live alone, and then it stopped.

Next, she either thinks the food is not refined enough, or the jewelry is not gorgeous enough.She casually reprimanded the servant woman who served her, and if she was a little careless, she would signal Xiang Han, the personal servant girl she brought from Shangshu's mansion, to beat and scold wantonly.

After only half a month of living here, I have changed several groups of maidservants.
