stern wife

Chapter 55 You are the black cauldron
She pointed to Pei Huayu and sisters who were kneeling beside her, and said:

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, look, the clothes on the younger sisters are also made by the old lady. The old lady likes them very much. She said that because she is going to enter the palace this time, she specially made the clothes for me better. Don't believe me. , you can ask them."

Although Pei Huayu didn't understand what mistake Wu had made, she could feel that Wu seemed to have offended the Empress Dowager and the Holy Majesty.

She and her younger sister knelt here for so long without hearing Pei Xiaoran say a word or plead for them, and she was already dissatisfied. Hearing that Pei Xiaoran seemed to want to use them to absolve Wu, she clenched her lower lip and said nothing.

Mrs. Zhao asked them not to offend Pei Xiaoran, but to try their best to be nice to her, so Pei Huayu didn't dare to directly refute that the clothes were not made by the old lady, which made Pei Xiaoran unable to step down.

However, not saying anything or acknowledging it is enough to make Pei Xiaoran anxious.

She wanted to wait for Pei Xiaoran to beg them, and then force her to speak for her. Who knows, Pei Xiaoran doesn't need the two of them to talk at all. The reason why she brought the topic to Pei Huayu and sisters is to let the empress dowager take a good look Look at the clothes they wear.

The Empress Dowager took a closer look, and she frowned even tighter, beckoning:

"Both of you, come closer and let Aijia take a look."

Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli didn't understand what the empress dowager meant, they could only stand up with their sore and painful legs, and slowly came to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager looked at it, ah, it is really the best material, the best embroidery work, even the jewelry is all expensive and exquisite, this is the proper attire for face-to-face!
So what the hell is going on?If it is said that Mrs. Wu is stingy, it is impossible to only sting a few children, but the other children are very generous, right?

The empress dowager couldn't figure it out, but Emperor Chixuan understood everything in an instant.

The empress dowager had never met the two sisters Pei Huayu, and thought they were also concubine daughters. After all, no fool would bring concubine daughters on such an occasion as today.

But the emperor knew that these two were concubines.

The concubine's dress is better than that of the concubine's daughter and the concubine's son, what is the reason for this?
He previously thought that since Mrs. Wei Guogong was the head wife of Pei Xingshan, she must be in charge of housekeeping, so she must have had the children's clothes made by her.

Now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Because he finally remembered that his Duke is also a bastard himself!

His biological mother was originally just an aunt of his father. Later, the two elder brothers in front died, his wife died, and his father died, so this aunt climbed up, and with Pei Xingshan, a capable son and the front The military exploits left by the old master and his two sons were exceptionally granted the rank of first-rank madam.

However, the concubine is the concubine, the concubine is the concubine, and the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. It is impossible for them to like the wife of the head and the children of the concubine, because it is a shame to them, and it is always on their heads. The impassable mountain called identity.

In this way, it's no wonder that Pei Xiaoran said that the old lady likes Pei Huayu and sisters very much, because these two sisters are concubines, daughters born of the same aunt as the old lady~
That's why the clothes made by the old lady for the children are so different!

Emperor Chixuan finally understood why Pei Xingshan always brought his concubine with him everywhere but never his concubine, and he only spoke good things about the concubine, never the concubine and the concubine's daughters.

The original root is here.

He thought it was Pei Xingshan's sons and daughters who were not up to the mark, but now it seems that the one who is not up to the mark seems to be someone else.

Emperor Chixuan said with a smile that was not a smile:

"Pei Aiqing, I have a question that I don't understand. Since you said that your wife is thrifty, that's why you use such cheap materials for the children, then...why are the clothes these two children wear so expensive? Could it be, Your wife is only harsh on her own children, but she is extraordinarily generous to other people's children? I see that what these two sisters are wearing is much better than what Pei Xiaoran and her two brothers are wearing..."

"Other people's children?" The Empress Dowager thought that Pei Huayu and the sisters were born beautiful and delicate, and she liked it secretly. Hearing this, she couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Yes," Emperor Chixuan pointed at Sister Pei Huayu, and said unabashedly:

"These two are the concubine daughters of Pei Aiqing's family. Pei Aiqing told me that his two concubine daughters are extremely intelligent and much more enlightened than his concubine daughter, so I authorized him to bring the concubine and concubine daughter into the palace. It's too late to tell the queen mother."

"What? Concubine?!"

It is a much more serious crime to bring a concubine into the palace on such an occasion than to wear unseemly clothes to the palace.

The love for the idea born in the empress dowager's heart disappeared immediately, she couldn't help but look at the emperor, and scolded:
"Is the emperor confused? How can he allow his subordinates to behave like this?!"

"Mother, don't be angry, I will never be like this next time," Emperor Chixuan hurriedly comforted, then looked at Pei Xingshan, and said:
"Pei Aiqing, you haven't answered my question just now."

"This……"

Pei Xingshan only wanted to blame the old lady's crimes on Wu, and let Wu be punished instead of his own mother, but he didn't expect that Pei Huayu and sisters were here, let alone that the empress dowager noticed that they were wearing The clothes are different from Pei Xiaoran's.

Men are usually rough and careless, as long as the clothes look good, they think they are good clothes, but they don't know that there is a lot of knowledge in them, so Pei Xingshan has never discovered the tricks in it, and was caught off guard by this sudden change, so that he had no time to make up A set of rhetoric without loopholes.

And it never occurred to him that he had deliberately told the old lady not to tamper with the clothes of the aunts, but what happened?She still moves!

Pei Xingshan has always been a filial son, but at this moment, he couldn't help but resent his old mother who failed to accomplish anything.

But being able to sit in the position of the Duke for so many years means that Pei Xingshan is not stupid.

His thoughts turned sharply, and he quickly came up with a countermeasure, patted himself on the forehead full of annoyance, and said:
"I have a lot of business on weekdays, maybe I remembered it wrong. I guessed it should be like this. The old lady first made clothes for the children below, and later, the cheap lady made clothes for Xiaoran and her two older brothers. They also made new ones, these children have a deep relationship with their mother, so they naturally came into the palace wearing the clothes made by their mother, and the clothes made by the frugal wife are not as good as the clothes made by the old lady. "

He looked at Pei Xiaoran, and said:

"Perhaps it was because the clothes were not explained clearly when they were delivered, and the children confused them, so they thought that what they were wearing now was made by the old lady, but it was not."
