Concubine, you can't be sick, the prince favors the evil concubine

Chapter 5 Impossible

"Well, that's it." Although He Lanning wondered why the evil star spoke for her, she subconsciously responded.

"However, I don't have that much strength. Normally, Xiaodie takes the light things, and the heavier ones are carried by the servants in the mansion. Why did the second sister slap the man so hard that he was able to slap me? body?" He Lanyue looked soft and weak, with an innocent expression that made people feel distressed.

"You..." He Lan condensed her anger, the evil star was actually setting her up!damn it!She stared at He Lanyue stubbornly, she didn't look weak after being beaten.

"Okay," the old lady said in a deep voice, "I called Yue'er here today because I have something to tell her. Ning'er, you can go back with your mother first."

The old lady did not punish anyone, nor rewarded anyone.It's not that she didn't see through, but it was because she saw through too much.She also came over step by step from those times, how could she not know.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law will be fine for a while, so I will stay here with you." Jiang said.The old lady called He Lanyue, it must have something to do with the dowry, she can't let the evil star bring too many things away.

The old lady glanced at Mrs. Jiang and nodded in agreement.

He Lanning didn't achieve her goal, and she didn't want to leave at first, but the old lady ordered her mother to stay, so she didn't dare not to listen. After saluting to the old lady, she gave He Lanyue another look, and then left angrily up.

He Lanyue smiled indifferently, her dignified and elegant demeanor was so natural that the old lady nodded secretly.

He Lanyue was very clear about Jiang's purpose of staying, but even if Jiang didn't take the initiative to ask, she would try to keep Jiang.Because, she wanted to get back the dowry that belonged to the mother of this body from Jiang's mouth.

"Yue girl, come here and sit beside grandma." The old lady beckoned to He Lanyue with a kind smile on her face.

"Yes." He Lanyue lowered her head slightly and walked over slowly.This grandmother, although she didn't show any kindness to her predecessor before, she would always think of giving her predecessor some small things during the holidays.Not expensive, but much stronger than those who only know how to bully their predecessors.

Therefore, He Lanyue did not dislike this grandmother.

Seeing the smile on the old lady's face, Mrs. Jiang's heart sank.The old lady has always been known for her cold face, she rarely smiles.Why did you actually smile at that evil star today?
"In two days, you will marry into the Prince's Mansion and become the Crown Princess Concubine. When you get there, you must be careful in everything, and don't lose face to the Zuo Xiang's Mansion." The old lady said earnestly.Now, what she values ​​most is the face of Zuo Xiangfu.

"Grandmother, don't worry, Yue'er will remember her teachings." He Lanyue replied, the expression on her face was so regular that no one could find a single fault.

"Okay, okay." The old lady said two good words in succession, then turned her head and asked Jiang Shi: "How is the dowry for Miss Yue?"

Jiang paused, and sneered secretly, dowry is still used when the evil star gets married?And marry a prince who is about to be deposed?However, in front of the old lady, she naturally didn't dare to say that.

"I'm ready to go back to mother, mother can rest assured." Jiang's words were full of confidence, and it seemed easy to reassure her.

However, except for the old lady and He Lanyue.

"Oh? Then tell me, what have you prepared?" The old lady said naturally.

"Uh," Mrs. Jiang didn't expect the old lady to ask, so she had to think about it temporarily, and said, "Because it was inconvenient to meet the bride at night, there was too much dowry, so the daughter-in-law made a streamlined one. Including, 1 taels of silver, silk and satin Hundred horses, jewelry..."

He Lanyue curled her lips secretly when she heard this, this Jiang family is really trying her best to be stingy.If this little thing is placed on ordinary people, they will be very happy.It seems that Mrs. Jiang wanted to monopolize the dowry of her predecessor's mother.

"1 taels of silver?" Before Jiang could finish speaking, the old lady's face darkened, and she interrupted in a low voice, "This is the only 1 taels of dowry for my daughter in Zuo Xiang's mansion? Can there be a house and shop to accompany it? "

"Mother, there are hundreds of people in Zuo Xiang's mansion, the expenses are huge, and there are not many houses and shops in hand, and the dowry for Ning'er and Jiao'er to get married in a few years is very tight, so I didn't accompany Yue'er to send the house to the shop." Jiang's words were pitiful, and if the left minister He Lanwei, he would definitely be moved by him.

"Bold!" The old lady's face sank completely, "Yue girl married the second prince, the current prince. Even ordinary officials' families would not be happy with the dowry you mentioned, let alone the royal family? Are you Do you want to kill Laosang and bring disaster to Zuo Xiangfu?!"

"Mother, but..." Judging from what the old lady meant, it seemed that she wanted to give the evil star a lot of dowry. Of course, Jiang was unwilling to do so, and wanted to speak anxiously.

"No need to say any more." The old lady said in a deep voice: "I know your thoughts very well. However, girl Yue is going to marry into the royal family, and the matter is of great importance. Even if the emperor doesn't say anything, there are still ministers on the right and a group of officials watching .If it is done according to your dowry, it will definitely bring disaster to Zuo Xiangfu. I will decide the dowry of Yue girl, and you are responsible for preparing it."

"This... my daughter-in-law obeys." Seeing that the old lady was angry, Jiang could only agree.When her concubine's room was righted, the old lady disagreed a little, and it was He Lanwei's strong request that she helped her into the main room.The power in the mansion has always been in the hands of the old lady, and has not been fully handed over to her.She still couldn't afford to offend the old lady in front of her.

Seeing that the old lady treated Jiang like this for her own dowry, He Lanyue felt a little grateful to the old lady in her heart.After all, no matter what the old lady's purpose is, whether it is for Zuo Xiangfu or for her He Lanyue, it is still beneficial to her on the surface.

After retreating from Mrs. Jiang, the old lady turned her head to look at He Lanyue, with natural satisfaction in the corners of her eyes and brows, and said: "Young girl Yue is going to marry the current crown prince, so the dowry should not be shabby, it will lose the face of Zuo Xiangfu. The dowry is up to me. 5 taels of silver, [-] bolts of high-quality silk and satin, ten boxes of gold and silver ornaments, plus two houses and two shops."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, two voices sounded at the same time, "No!"

Seeing that He Lanyue also said 'No', Jiang was taken aback, glanced at her like an idiot, and without thinking too much, explained to the old lady directly: "Mother, the house is already struggling to make ends meet, if it weren't for that A few shops are holding up, I'm afraid..."

"Besides, Ning'er and Jiao'er will get married in the future, without a decent dowry, they will lose face to Zuo Xiangfu."

The old lady raised her eyelids, glanced at Mrs. Jiang, did not speak, but looked at He Lanyue strangely.Jiang's obstruction is justifiable, but girl Yue...

"Grandmother, my concubine is right. Don't lose my second and third sisters by preparing a dowry for me." He Lanyue said flatly, not caring, but slightly accentuated the pronunciation of the word 'concubine'.
