good wife

Chapter 597
"Today is the first day of the new year, and in a few days it will be the Duanyang Festival!"

"Yes! Alright, let's eat quickly. After eating, let's take a short rest, and then go to the Sifang Pavilion. The Sifang Pavilion is closer to the Wangfu, and the poetry competition will be at night, so let's go back to Pingwangfu in the evening."

Jingyi nodded, then picked up the fish meat that had been removed from her plate, and ate it without any regard for the image!
The two took a nap in the afternoon, and then they were ready to leave for Sifang Pavilion.

Jingyi changed her clothes, she wore a long light green brocade dress with white orchids embroidered on the skirt, and a white brocade belt around her waist, making her slender waist even tighter!Yuan Xi tied her hair with her own hands, and tied it into a wishful bun. Only a jasper hairpin was inserted, and thin silver thread beaded tassels were attached.Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant.There is no makeup on her face, but she is more delicate and pleasant. Look at her shoulders are shaved, her waist is plain, her muscles are fat, and her breath is blue.Like a fairy coming out of a painting.

Seeing such a seductive Jing Yi, Yuan Xi couldn't help but secretly annoyed, what's the matter with dressing up his wife so nicely?Are you not afraid of causing the coveted by the wolves?

"Si Yu, put on the veiled hat for the princess!"

"Yes!" A pretty-looking little girl walked over with a white veiled hat.This Siyu was the maidservant and bodyguard that Yuanxi sent to serve by her side last year.Si Qin, Simo and Liu Xing'er were all pointed out by Jing Yi and Yuan Xi about their marriage.In particular, Si Mo and Si Qin were respectively assigned to the magistrate of a county that closed the city, and the other was married to the eldest son of Liu County Sheriff.

The marriage of these two people is not bad, but Liu Xing'er is married to a third-class guard from the fifth rank next to Yuan Xi as his wife. She already has her own mansion, and she is also an official wife.

Jingyi looked at Si Yu, who was only thirteen years old, and said sadly: "I don't know how Si Qin and Si Mo are doing? The two of them have followed me for many years. It's really uncomfortable to be surrounded by the sudden empty space."

"If you miss them, let them come to Fengcheng to visit." Yuan Xi took Jingyi's hand and slowly walked out of the gate, and the two got into the carriage and went straight to Sifang Hall.

When they arrived at the east gate of Sifang Pavilion, the two sat on the first floor, listened to a lot of new things, and listened to the storytellers for a while, then went up to the second floor.It was still early, so the two of them went to the box on the second floor first, sipped tea, and listened to the sound of the piano from the lobby on the second floor, which was also a kind of enjoyment!
"After all, it's not as good as yours!" Jingyi pouted.

Yuan Xi smiled, "Yiyi, when we were taking a nap at noon, news came from the capital."

"Oh? But about my natal family?"

"Yes and no!"

"What is yes and no! Come on!"

Yuan Xi winked at Chu Yi and the others, they understood, retreated out, and secured the surroundings of the box to prevent strangers from approaching!
"It's about nobleman Su."

"Su Guiren?" Jingyi frowned, "Didn't you be reduced to a beauty? When did you become a nobleman again?"

"Although Su Jingwei was left out in the cold, she was unwilling to let it go, so the past two years can be said to be hard work on piano and dance skills! A few days ago, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and this Su Jingwei bribed a master of the Shangyi Bureau. Le, covered her face with a light veil, and danced lightly on the spot! The emperor was amazed by her dance, so he pampered her that night! The next day, he was promoted to nobleman!"

"This Shangyi Bureau should be full of empresses! It seems that these years, the empress seems to be having a bad time in the harem!"

"That's right! With Su Jingwei's identity and ability, how can she get through Zhang Le? Presumably it was Concubine De who stepped forward to help! Regardless of Su Jingwei's success or failure, this matter has no loss for Concubine De! Of course, if Su Jingwei To be able to regain favor, I am grateful to her, and I will definitely favor Concubine De and King Jin even more!"

Jingyi smiled, "It's been nearly three years, and I really admire this sister! Not bad! She has the means to compete for favor! And she knows how to climb a big tree again! I'm curious, how did she Persuaded Concubine De to help her?"

"Su Jingwei's appearance and dancing is a kind of provocation to the queen! It shows that the queen's six rounds of 24 divisions are not necessarily her queen's! These six rounds are different from the backyard of ordinary nobles! They are all Female officials! Although they are slaves, they are all of high grade, and it is not a mistress who can sell them if she is unhappy!"

"Yuanxi, Concubine De and the Empress have always been at odds. Now that King Jin has a concubine, it can be said that he has an advantage. Now the backyard of Prince Ming's Mansion is probably extremely chaotic!"

Yuan Xi smiled appreciatively, "As expected of Yiyi, you are really smart! You are right! The second news from the capital is about Ming Palace. Do you still remember the one who was named Mrs. Ru by the Queen?" Wang Wei?"

"Of course I remember! We still managed to send it to her!"

"This Wang Wei turned out to be at odds with Bai Min'er, and turned to Princess Ming! It's really interesting!"

"Oh?" Jingyi was also a little surprised: "Is she crazy? She is a little daughter of the magistrate, does she still want to fight against the entire Duke Huguo?" , Then suddenly it suddenly became clear!
"I see! This is what the queen means!" Not a question, but an affirmative sentence!
Yuan Xi nodded, "That's right! This is indeed ordered by the queen! The purpose, of course, is to win over Prime Minister Qin, and again, it is also to protect the face of Duke Hu's mansion! This Bai Min'er is too incompetent! Entering the mansion Since then, she has never been pregnant, and she accidentally let another side concubine have a miscarriage too! What a pity!" Yuan Xi shook his head while laughing, but there was no trace of regret in his expression !
"It's a pity that the side concubine was already four months pregnant. It was only after she had a miscarriage that she found out that it was a baby boy! This made King Ming and the Empress very angry! At this critical time, the Duke Protector's Mansion can't protect the baby." Stay with that Bai Miner!"

After hearing this, Jingyi said thoughtfully: "So that's the case! I'm afraid the side concubine's background must be not low, right?"

"You may not have imagined that the side concubine is the concubine of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

"Sure enough! What kind of punishment did Bai Min'er receive?"

Yuan Xi changed a cup of tea for Jingyi, and brought it to her with his own hands. Jingyi took it and tasted it slowly, before Yuan Xi said: "Bai Min'er was banned for a month and was fined to copy "The Ring of Women" a hundred times. What's worse, she was demoted to concubine concubine!"

Jingyi's hand trembled, "Concubine concubine? This queen is really determined! After all, she is the niece she watched and grew up with!" As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed: "The queen's heart is probably like a stone. Let’s do it! For the sake of Duke Ming’s position, I’m afraid she can give up everything!”
