Chapter 498: Extra Princess and Shadow 8
Chapter 498 Fanwai Princess and Shadow 8
Mrs. Shizi was in the room lightly applying medicinal wine to Shen Tianbao. From time to time there were shouts and wailing sounds in the room. Mrs. Shizi persuaded him softly like coaxing a baby. Hearing these rumors, she sneered:
"That little girl made my son suffer so much, I really can't swallow this breath."
No one knew, she had already teamed up with Song Zirou.
There were two concubines from the Marquis of Yongchang, who were supposed to be dignitaries in the capital, but over the years, the two sisters-in-law not only did not recruit their natal families, but also did not allow people in the house to use their names to make things easier for outsiders.
Except for the idea of ??filial piety given to the old lady according to the rules during the festivals, no other benefits have been touched at all, and the momentum in the mansion has been getting worse and worse in the past few years. Befriend those lowly merchants.
Mrs. Shizi was so angry that she fell and was afraid of her son, but if those two sisters-in-law could lend a hand to help a little, why is their house like this!
"You are unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous!"
The servant **** the side was a little worried: "Grandma, are we really going to help Mrs. Song? But what if..."
Mrs. Shizi finished her makeup, "What's the case, it's a fact that my sister-in-law can't have children, no matter when, a woman who can't have children is a hen that can't lay eggs, it is incomplete.
What's more, it is still the royal family, how could His Royal Highness King Su not want a son? "
The most proud thing in her life is that she gave birth to three sons in a row. Although she almost died when the youngest son was born, she still felt that it was the highlight moment of her life.
Besides, since Song Zirou dared to say this kind of thing in public, there must be some basis for it.
As long as Song Zirou becomes King Su's concubine, the Yongchang Hou Mansion will recognize her as a righteous daughter.
Compared to Shen Mingjiao, Song Zirou is just an orphan with no roots, so they are better at handling it.
So the banquet started not long after, while waiting for the dishes to be served, Cui took Song Zirou's hand affectionately, and kept praising the child for being well-behaved.
There was that underage lady who asked if Princess Su was really incapable of giving birth?
Although the rest of the wives felt that her question was too straightforward, they quietly pricked up their ears.
Ms. Cui was stunned for a moment, then her face was obviously flustered, and she yelled sternly: "What nonsense, how could the princess not be able to give birth, she...that's just that the fate of children has not yet come."
No matter how stupid Cui Shi is, she knows that it is too unreasonable to publicly admit that Shen Mingjiao cannot have children.
Everyone at the banquet gasped when they saw her reaction that was trying to hide it. If it was just a rumor, it is almost a fact now.
After all, although Shen Mingjiao has little contact with the Yongchang Houfu, but the blood relationship is there, it is impossible for the Cui family to slander her own granddaughter for no reason, which is not good for the Shen family.
Mrs. Shizi on the side is busy pretending to change the subject.
Cui Shi took Song Zirou's hand again: "You are a kind and good boy, and you are on good terms with Si Yatou." She earnestly told: "Si Yatou is more straightforward, don't take what you say in your heart."
Song Zirou lowered her head in embarrassment: "The princess is very kind to me. The little lady can have a good life today, all thanks to the princess. In the future, I must obediently listen to the princess."
Ms. Cui patted the back of her hand in satisfaction: "That's good, we will be a family from now on, we need to visit frequently.
This is Wanwan, she looks so pretty! "
During the dinner, the ladies heard the conversation and looked at each other.
What the old lady said must mean what they thought!
Some regular wives who are unable to have children or are not favored, in order to show their virtuousness and to stabilize their position as main wives, will take the initiative to take concubines for their husbands, and the children they give birth will be brought to their side as legitimate sons to raise. This is basically a routine operation in the mansion.
Looking at the submissive Song Zirou again, I have to say that Song Zirou's face is still very deceptive, coupled with the deliberate disguise, it is easy to bully.
I also heard that Shen Mingjiao and Mrs. Song are getting along well, it seems that this is an early preparation!
They immediately decided that this was concubine Su's acquiescence. The Yongchang Hou Mansion took the opportunity to sell to Princess Su, or they wanted to give Song Zirou a blow.
No matter what the reason is, the ladies' attitude towards Song Zirou has improved a lot.
The identities present here are not high, and they can't get in touch with people at the level of Princess Su. Song Zirou should still be able to.
So the wives who were close started to get close to Song Zirou, and many wives and ladies surrounded Wen Wan and praised her in various ways.
It was supposed to be time to serve food long ago, but Mrs. Shizi pretended not to know, and continued to chat with her with a smile, as if she was waiting for something.
Finally, after another quarter of an hour, the person they were waiting for arrived!
With a bang, the door of the dining room was pushed open, and a few little carrot heads headed by An An rushed in.
The noisy dining room suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Princess Ning'an and her party approaching aggressively, and Song Zirou's mother and daughter, whose faces were pale and trembling for a moment. Everyone held their breath, as if they could foresee what would happen next.
An An pursed her lips and walked to the table where Song Zirou and the others were at the farthest side, her baby-fat face tensed: "I heard that you are going to be my father's concubine?"
Song Zirou hurriedly backed away, shaking her head with a pale face: "No... how dare I have such delusions... it's the princess..."
An'an puffed her face angrily: "Shut up, my mother and concubine would not do such a stupid thing! Get out of here now, take your daughter out of my house."
She just listened at the door for a long time, and heard many people whispering that mother can't give birth, Song Zirou wants to be a concubine for father...
She vaguely understands what a concubine is? "Concubine" is a third party who will destroy the relationship between parents, although it seems wrong to say so!
Never mind, anyway, this is a nasty woman...
Wen Wan plucked up the courage to stand in front of Song Zirou, trying to grab An An's arm, but An An dodged it with her backhand.
The little girl bowed her head and sobbed silently, like a swaying little white flower, which aroused people's pity:
"An'an, please, don't drive us away... It was all my fault just now, I fell down by myself, I don't know why they said that about you..."
An An clenched her small fists, just looked at her quietly, and Song Zirou also cried:
"Princess, please don't drive us away. The child's father is gone to save His Highness. Those uncles and brothers are nothing. If we leave the Su Palace without the protection of the Palace, those people will sell us immediately and take Wen If Wan is sold to Hualou, she will be ruined for the rest of her life..."
After finishing speaking, she directly knelt down to An An with a plop: "Princess, please, don't drive us away, I can do any dirty work, please, Wanwan is still so young..."
Mother and daughter kowtowed vigorously.
A performance, smooth flow of water, tightly controlled the emotions of everyone in the dining room, coupled with people's natural instinct to sympathize with the weak, even if some people faintly see problems. They also follow the trend and sympathize with the weak with the mentality of having nothing to do with themselves.
Qin Shuqing kicked the chair angrily: "You must be sick! An An ignores her and asks the shadow guard to throw her out."
An'an finally spoke, her small face was tense: "After acting for so long, don't you just want me to get angry and hit you? Well, I will help you."
She turned around and looked at Tangtang: "Give me the whip."
Tangtang found a red whip from the backpack behind her back. He hesitated and said, "Why don't you come here as a servant!"
The death of these two people is not a pity, but if An An does it in public and spreads it outside, it will definitely get a bad reputation.
An An took the whip and shook her head: "She shouldn't count on my mother."
She wants to teach the bad guys a lesson for her mother.
This whip looks beautiful and exquisite, like a toy with no offensive power, but when he held it in his hand and swung it around casually, the whip made a buzzing sound of breaking the wind.
This was given to her by Aunt Cui. It is said that it is made of special materials and can be used as a good weapon. Qin Shuqing has been envious for a long time.
Wen Wan shrank back in fear, even if she had a city, she was still only a child of six or seven years old, not yet to the point where she was not afraid of being beaten.
Song Zirou didn't dodge or evade, the corner of his mouth raised a complacent and expectant smile the moment he lowered his head.
As long as the goal can be achieved, what do you plan to do?
An An raised his whip, glanced at Wen Wan, paused, changed his position,
Swipe at Song Zirou's face, Song Zirou instinctively covered his face,
The next moment, a burst of unspeakable pain came, accompanied by a scream, and a long **** **** appeared on the back of her closed hands.
Seeing that An An actually did something? The attack was so ruthless that the ladies were startled and wanted to back away.
Even Mrs. Shizi was a little scared, but before she could comfort herself, Song Zirou screamed one after another.
An An pursed her lips, and each whip was whipped firmly. This was her first real beating.
But she was not happy at all except to relieve her anger.
Obviously, when she and Wei Jin beat up her brother, they couldn't be too happy!
This may be what Nuo Bao said, because they once regarded Wen's mother and daughter as friends.
But the whip in her hand didn't mean to stop at all. The whip was made of special material, and An An was born with great strength. Song Zirou was drawn **** after a while.
Song Zirou covered his head with difficulty, crying out in pain.
She didn't understand, how could a child have such great strength? She felt so painful that she was about to suffocate, and felt a gust of wind was about to sweep towards her face, she covered her face tightly, the backs of her hands had already been pulled out of shape.
The most precious thing for a woman is this face. If she is disfigured, how can she arouse pity from men?
Song Zirou silently counted the time in his heart, and persisted for a while, as long as everyone who should come came...
There was a smell of blood coming from all around, and the screams of the women writhing in distress on the ground became weaker and weaker. It goes without saying how shocked the female relatives in the dining room were.
Chen Yue was a little worried, and asked Nuo Bao beside him in a low voice: "It won't kill anyone!"
Nuobao didn't understand either, she looked at Tangtang. Tangtang's expressionless analysis: "Although the princess is very talented, she has only studied martial arts for a short time, and she still can't accurately hit people's vital points.
Right now, they are just flesh wounds, and it will take at least half an hour to be fatal. "
Nuobao: "Oh, it's all right."
It’s not even a quarter of an hour yet, let’s talk about it in another two quarters of an hour.
snort! It's fine if you want to climb up, but you have to step on my aunt by the way.
It’s no different than An An and the others. She is already nine years old and knows that public rumors about a woman’s infertility will make her feel ashamed for the rest of her life.
No matter how many good things my aunt has done, when people mention her a few years later, some people will still say sourly: "So what, but she can't have children!"
Just like a talented woman in history, she is obviously more talented than many men in the professional field, and has even made some contributions to the country, but when people mention her, the first thing that comes to mind is the love between him and several men Hate and hate. For having been courted by a married man who was a famous poet.
Backing back to the topic, Nuo Bao inadvertently glanced at the gentleness who was huddled in a corner and weeping.
She uttered a "tsk", crying for real, but she was at least a foot away from the beaten Song Zirou.
Didn’t you pretend just now? As soon as something happens, you will expose your cool and selfish nature!
Hearing the screams in his ears, Cui couldn't help but patted the table and said in a low voice:
"It's reversed! Stop it quickly. No matter how old I am, I'm still your elder, how can you..."
She seemed to be out of breath: "Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked..."
An'an's hand holding the whip stopped. Nuo Bao was very angry, the old woman obviously wanted to anger An An.
But in terms of blood relationship, Cui Shi is indeed the elder of her and An An.
Nowadays, people put all goodness and filial piety first, so Song Zirou beat him up, but if An An attacked Cui's grandmother in public in a hurry, no matter what the reason was, An An's reputation would be ruined.
Qin Shuqing took out two small stones, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not convenient for An'an to do it, so leave it to us!" 𝙛𝒓𝙚e𝚠𝐞𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝗲𝚕. c𝚘𝓶
At worst, go back and have another meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots! Wei Jin and Chen Yue also stood up, anyway, this is not their grandmother, so they just hit it!
Cui Shi was still outputting crazily. Just when Qin Shuqing and An An couldn't help but want to make a move, a soft female voice came from the door:
"Grandmother said, why is this concubine's upper beam not straight and her lower beam crooked?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the dining room fell silent, and Mrs. Shi Zi took a step back in horror.
How...how could it be Shen Mingjiao? Shouldn't it be His Royal Highness King Su?
Song Zirou, who hugged his head and wailed, paused, but surprise burst out in his eyes.
To wait for this day, she planned for more than two months.
She relied on some means to bribe a soldier from the Western Suburbs camp who accompanied her this time, and accurately grasped the specific itinerary of King Su and his wife.
According to the usual practice, Song Zirou knew that His Royal Highness King Su would go to the palace when he returned to Beijing on a business trip.
She calculated the time well, and Shen Mingjiao would definitely feel worried when she learned that her daughter had come to Yongchang Hou Mansion. And Shen Mingjiao originally thought that their mother and daughter were not pleasing to the eye, but now hearing those rumors, she will definitely lose control and make people torture her severely.
At that time, Feng Lisheng, who had received the news in advance, would also rush over, just in time to see the dying scene of her being tortured by Shen Mingjiao's mother and daughter.
Even though King Su doesn't have that kind of thought about her for the time being, it is a fact that her husband died to save King Su. When King Su saw this scene, it was impossible for King Su not to complain about Shen Mingjiao's mother and daughter.
At that time, she would show her ambition by death, so that King Su would completely lean to her side.
This man, once he feels pity for a woman...
However, before she finished her fantasy, she suddenly heard a clear and pleasant male voice: "What's going on?"
Song Zirou looked up in disbelief, and saw a pair of Bi people walking slowly at the door. Although they were busy, the whole dining room seemed to be a little brighter the moment they appeared.
Song Zirou pursed his lips stiffly, why did His Royal Highness King Su come over?
…
Cui’s voice, which was outputting crazily, suddenly stopped, like a chicken being strangled by someone,
Feng Lisheng led Shen Mingjiao over, frowned and stared at Song Zirou who was in a mess: "Who hit it?"
Song Zirou's gentle eyes lit up at the same time. Hearing His Highness's tone, he wanted to punish the person who beat her.
She raised her messy face in a bun, revealing a snow-white neck, but a **** welt was drawn from it,
"Your Highness, don't blame the princess, the princess is still young, she must not have done it on purpose..."
Look how weak and kind she is!
Wen Wan also wiped tears at the same time: "An An must have been provoked by someone to say that we will be kicked out of the palace. An An must not have meant it..."
Nuobao and the others felt their fists harden instantly.
An An interrupted her coldly, pursed her lips and looked up at her tall father: "I hit you."
After finishing speaking, he emphasized angrily: "I am not wrong, this woman is a bad person, she should be beaten."
A pair of small hands clenched the corners of the clothes, would daddy believe her? I will!
Song Zirou raised the corners of his lips proudly, and everyone stared at King Su's reaction with bated breath.
But the tall man leaned over and picked up the little girl, still with a straight face, but said:
"After throwing so many whips, don't your hands hurt?
What are these shadow guards for? How did Father teach you?
You are a princess, if you want to teach anyone who wants to let the people below do it, if you do it yourself, you will lower your status, understand? "
Everyone: "..." What kind of arrogant remarks are these? I am not afraid of impeachment by the censor... Oh, I am not afraid!
Song Zirou's mother and daughter were stunned, they were already so weak and kind, couldn't His Royal Highness King Su see it?
It is obviously the princess who is wrong, why does His Royal Highness King Su only stand by his daughter?
An An was lying in her father's arms, with her familiar and strong shoulders gently supporting her. Her nose was sore, and she suddenly cried out with a "wow". No matter how smart she was, she was just a child. grow up, but she will also be sad and hesitant,
Seeing the baby girl crying, Feng Lisheng couldn't maintain a serious expression anymore, he patted the little girl's back helplessly, and coaxed softly: "Okay, don't cry anymore...it's because the father speaks too loudly..."
However, when the little girl heard this, she cried even more fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered that day.
Feng Lisheng really panicked now, he rarely had anything to fear in his life, and his daughter crying was definitely one of them.
And An An seldom cried since she was three years old, even when she cried, she howled dryly. Right now, the little girl was crying, and his front was wet. The old father's heart suddenly clenched, and he looked coldly at the people in the dining room.
Then picked up the red whip, "An'an can hit you if you want!"
He glanced at Song Zirou: "But this woman's body is too weak, my father ordered her to use some secret medicine to slow down her blood flow, An An, you can play longer!"
Everyone: "..." Is this a human language?
Song Zirou's tears flowed even more fiercely, this time for real! This man is a devil!
Seeing that the little guy in his arms was hiccupping from crying, Feng Lisheng's face became colder and colder. Qin Shuqing's weak proposal behind him:
"An'an is very coaxing, one candied haws is enough, if not enough, two!"
An An, who was lying in Feng Lisheng's arms, stopped crying,
Feng Lisheng waved his hand directly, and ordered his subordinates: "Go and buy a bunch of candied haws."
An'an opened her mouth wide, her crying subconsciously stopped, and she counted silently in her heart. When she hung up, there were dozens of them, right? It's done!
Shen Mingjiao, who had been silent all this time, glanced at her, and the little guy immediately restrained his expression, and lowered his head aggrieved.
Shen Mingjiao saw that her tears were still in the corners of her eyes, but her little face couldn't help but smile,
She took out her handkerchief and wiped it: "I declare in advance that you can only eat two skewers at most."
An An's small face immediately drooped, and she tugged on Feng Lisheng's sleeve, Feng Lisheng quietly winked at her daughter: Your mother is watching, go back first and then talk.
Shen Mingjiao pretended not to see the father and daughter's eyebrows and eyes, and turned her head to glance at Song Zirou's mother and daughter. Before the other party opened his mouth to defend, he waved behind him, and a man dressed as a soldier was pressed up.
When Song Zirou saw the person coming, his pupils suddenly shrank. Because the person in front of him was the soldier from the western suburbs camp he had bought.
Facing Shen Mingjiao's clear and calm eyes, Song Zirou was stunned for a while, then in a daze for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "So you know everything?"
She forced herself to calm down, thinking of countermeasures in her mind. It is hopeless to marry King Su right now, but she must not be driven away.
She stood up with difficulty, looked at Feng Lisheng, and cried: "Your Highness, are you going to drive me away? My husband died saving you! You promised that he would take care of our mother and daughter. Because of the princess, she If you don't like me, then..."
Feng Lisheng frowned, no matter whether he needed help or not, it is a fact that Wen Ping died to save him.
But even so, he would not allow Song Zirou to use this as a moral kidnapping and blackmail.
Shen Mingjiao tugged on his sleeve lightly, and said, "Take An An away first, leave this to me"
Then turned around, without looking at Cui Shi and the others, directly dragged a chair and sat down, staring directly at Song Zirou's eyes.
"I just came back, and I still have a lot of work to do, so I don't have time to spend with you here. This is a mantra, and you can say what is right and what is wrong."
After speaking, he casually took out a sachet from his waist and waved it at the tip of her nose,
Everyone stared at the sachet in Shen Mingjiao's hand for a moment. In recent years, there have been many legends about Concubine Su.
Some people say that Princess Su has a secret fragrance formula, smelling it can make people speak the truth, so she helped Dali Temple solve many strange cases.
Some people also say that Concubine Su's eyes have demonic powers and can control people.
It is also said that Princess Su is the reincarnation of a fairy flower demon.
And often the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and people will not believe them too much.
But it is a fact that Princess Su has the ability to make people tell the truth, and many people tend to use the spices she uses.
They watched Song Zirou's eyes gradually become dull.
Shen Mingjiao: "Tell me about your purpose?"
Song Zirou replied blankly: "Become King Su's concubine, take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between King Su and Shen Mingjiao, and then get rid of Shen Mingjiao with the help of Princess Ning'an. When King Su was most sad, he used love to influence him, and was finally helped. Give birth to a son and embark on the road of pampering the concubine!"
Everyone: "..." Is it still dark? This big sister started dreaming!
Some people think this plot is inexplicably familiar, oh, I remembered, there was a very popular best-selling story book in the past two years, the name was (Road to the Concubine)
Just by hearing the name, it is very clear. It tells the story of an orphan girl who was rescued by Mrs. Gaomen in the name of repaying her kindness. The farmer and the snake.
After reading the summary, if you encounter a man or woman who faints on the road, the correct way is to report it to the official, and don’t pick it up at home.
Because the story is too damaging to the Three Views and there are serious logical loopholes, it was forced to stop selling.
Emotion Song Zirou has brought herself into the heroine of the story!
A wife couldn't help complaining: "According to the law of Great Xia, it is impossible for a concubine to be righted! This is common sense, okay?"
