At the moment when Shen Shixu was crowned as the top scholar, the golden finger that was late for eighteen years finally arrived. In his previous life, he passed away to save a child who fell into ...
Chapter 144 Concubine
Prince Kang and the young master agreed immediately, saying they would definitely come in the evening, and they also ordered two dishes.
However, something went wrong with Princess Mingzhu of Prince Kang's Mansion. The housekeeper was brought to see the princess. Looking at her haggard face and red and swollen eyes, he understood that the princess had been wronged.
The housekeeper immediately felt indignant. Their princess was gentle and virtuous, and her appearance was top-notch, not to mention the housekeeper.
The Zheng family tried to marry their princess, but not only did they not treat her well, they also made her suffer injustice. The housekeeper thought that he must have a good talk with the princess and the prince when he returned.
When Xiao Mingzhu saw the housekeeper of the palace coming, she forced herself to cheer up and said, "Uncle Li, why are you here at this time? But does my mother miss me and Yan'er?"
The housekeeper listened to her obviously wrong voice, nodded and said, "That's right, the princess misses the princess and wants her to bring Master Yan back to the palace to stay for a few days.
Moreover, the palace is going to entertain Prince Xiaoyao, Prince Jing, and Lord Shen from the Dali Temple tonight, so I specially asked this old servant to invite the princess back to attend the banquet. ”
When Xiao Mingzhu heard that Xiaoyao and Wang Hejing would be entertained at a banquet in the evening, she understood very well. After all, they were relatives and it was normal for them to interact with each other.
But she was more puzzled as to why it happened so suddenly, and Lord Shen from the Dali Temple was among them. She also knew about Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi's affairs. It should be said that no one in the entire capital did not know about it.
It was normal to invite Shen Shixu to a banquet, but she always felt that there should be something else going on. She had to say that her intuition was very accurate. Perhaps this was a woman's sixth sense!
"Okay, I'll take Yan'er back in the evening."
When the housekeeper saw that she agreed, he said goodbye and hurried back to Prince Kang's mansion. He met Prince Kang and the princess and told them what he had discovered.
After knowing that his daughter was wronged, Prince Kang wanted to go to the palace. Although Princess Kang was also angry, she still had her reason and reached out to grab Prince Kang.
“Don’t worry, things haven’t been clarified yet. We don’t know anything, and it’s not feasible to just come here.
After Mingzhu comes back tonight and asks clearly, and confirms that it is the Zheng family's problem, it will not be too late for us to visit them. ”
King Kang was persuaded by her, but he was still very unhappy. He paced back and forth in the yard anxiously, waiting for the night to come so that he could ask his daughter what had happened.
When Prince Kang's son Xiao Yuxing and Prince Kang's youngest son Xiao Cheng arrived, they saw their father walking back and forth in the yard. Judging from the expressions of the people around him, he must have been walking for a while.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Xiao Cheng asked casually.
Xiao Yuxing also looked at Prince Kang in confusion. When Prince Kang saw the two of them coming, he told him about the injustice Xiao Mingzhu had suffered in the Zheng family.
When Xiao Cheng heard that his sister was wronged, he was so angry that he wanted to attack the Zheng family immediately. Xiao Yuxing was also angry, even angrier than Xiao Cheng. He and Xiao Mingzhu were twins, a boy and a girl, and had a very close relationship. When he heard that Xiao Mingzhu was wronged, he was both sad and angry.
However, he is older than Xiao Cheng and more stable.
"Ah Cheng, don't worry, wait until Mingzhu comes back and ask her first."
It has to be said that the brothers' temperaments were perfectly inherited from Prince Kang and Princess Kang. One is as reckless as Prince Kang, while the other is much more stable like Princess Kang.
Xiao Cheng still listened to his elder brother very much. If he was not allowed to go, he would not go. However, he was just as anxious as King Kang and started pacing in the yard.
When Shen Shixu and the others came over, they saw three people lined up in a team, walking around in the yard.
Mo Yu was puzzled, "What's going on with them? Are they trying to make themselves even hungrier so they can eat more later in the evening?"
Xiao Lie also thought that this father and his two sons were really strange. He walked up and grabbed Xiao Cheng by the collar, forcing him to stop.
Xiao Ben was already angry, and when someone grabbed his collar, he got even angrier. "Who is it? How dare you grab my collar? Hey, uncle? And Jin Yi, you're here!"
After seeing that it was Xiao Lie, the angry expression on Xiao Cheng's face froze for a moment, and then he greeted them.
When King Kang heard that they were coming, he pushed Xiao Cheng aside and told them with a sad face how his daughter had been wronged.
When he said this, he kept glancing at Shen Shixu, hoping that 011 on Shen Shixu would give some reaction, and 011 did not disappoint King Kang.
[Tsk, brother, I find that the women in their royal family always meet scumbags? First there was the eldest princess, then it was Princess Shoujia, and now it is Princess Mingzhu's turn.
Are those scumbags a threat to the women of the royal family? 】
Shen Shixu also found it very strange. Thinking about it carefully, the melons he ate, especially the melons about royal women, seemed to be related to men, and the common point was that men were not good people.
According to 011, Princess Mingzhu was also cheated by a scumbag.
What's going on? I remember that Princess Mingzhu married the eldest son of the Marquis of Songhe. I heard that the couple had a good relationship and had a son. Could it be that Prince Songhe has a mistress outside? 】
When King Kang and the others heard Shen Shixu's thoughts, they all wished they had two more ears so they could listen to what was going on.
Prince Kang had not forgotten Princess Kang either. He winked at his servants and asked them to call Princess Kang over.
Although Princess Kang didn't know what Prince Kang wanted to talk to her about, she still came in a hurry. As soon as she arrived, she heard 011 releasing the melon.
[It’s even more cruel than this!] The prince not only has a mistress outside, he now wants to marry her as his concubine. 】
When King Kang heard this, his fists clenched and made a clacking sound. Marry a concubine? This is not only a slap in the face of his daughter, but also a curse on her!
Da Gan was allowed to marry a concubine, but those who wanted to marry a concubine were all because the wife was in poor health and needed to rest well, and was unable to take care of the household.
There are two solutions. One is to let the concubine who is popular in the mansion take care of it, but most people will not choose this.
Concubines have little experience, and they may not be able to manage the family well. Therefore, most people would marry a woman of medium status, or a widow who has been the main wife, as a co-wife. A co-wife is more like a housekeeper.
There are also cases where the wife commits a serious mistake, but the husband cannot divorce her, so he marries a concubine.
But no one ever marries a concubine while his wife is in good health and has not committed any serious mistakes.
This is not only a disgrace to his wife, but also a slap in the face of his wife's family.
Anyone who values respectability would not do this. If they really did, they would not be able to hold their heads up in the circle.
After hearing what 011 said, Princess Kang felt her blood boiling. She was so angry after hearing it, she couldn't imagine how angry her daughter would be when she heard it.
