Main Characters: Yu Yuanzheng, Shangguan Ziqi
Yu Yuanzheng transmigrated into the original host on her wedding night. Upon arriving, she was immediately forced to listen to her cousin and hus...
Yu Yuzheng walked slowly into the main hall and bowed to the princess first.
"Meet mother."
"You've come at the right time. This is the wife of the Crown Prince of Wang Shi's Mansion, this is the wife of the Crown Prince of Wang Huai's Mansion, and this is Madam Qin, the aunt of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Princess. You know this one, the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an." The princess introduced them one by one.
Are these people here to thank her on the emperor's orders?
The second old lady, Yu Chaoyang, Concubine Luo, and the second lady were also there.
Yu Yuzheng greeted them one by one.
"Ye Zheng, thank you so much for yesterday. You have saved our Zheng Xing twice. I will make him remember this kindness for the rest of his life." Lady Ning'an smiled brightly.
At the same time, she was also so angry with her son that she wanted to teach him a lesson.
If he had not been beaten by the emperor yesterday, she would have wanted to beat him a few more times to teach him a lesson.
With such a son, she would have to live several years less. The Marquis said last night that he should not be spoiled anymore, otherwise he would lose his son one day.
"Yes, thank you, Madam Young Master. If you hadn't treated my naughty boy in time, he might have died. Thank you." The wife of the prince's wife blushed and wiped her eyes as she thanked him.
As soon as she got the news yesterday, she ran to the lake. As soon as she ran, she saw her son vomiting water, but she fainted from fright.
"Madam, please accept this small token of my gratitude. I am not here to express my gratitude because of the emperor's order, but I am here to express my gratitude sincerely.
If you hadn't stepped forward to organize the rescue yesterday, my Jinchen might have met his death. The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven."
The wife of the Crown Prince of Prince Huai's Mansion stood up, took out a brocade box and stuffed it into Yu Zheng's hand.
"Yes, yes, yes, the grace of saving a life is greater than heaven. It was the eldest young lady who rescued my Yue'er. She suffered a great fright yesterday. When she recovers, I will bring her to thank you in person." Madam Qin immediately agreed.
She was also very scared yesterday. She did not sleep well last night and had nightmares all night. She dreamed that her daughter was drowned. She got up twice to check on her daughter, but finally fell asleep peacefully. She was not relieved until the morning.
Each lady gave Yu Zheng the gifts she brought.
Each one is a box of jewelry.
But, actually, she prefers to receive money, but she can't say it because it's too vulgar.
She couldn't even hold it with her hands, and had to have the help of her maid to catch it.
"You ladies are so kind. I was just catching up."
"It was because you arrived in time that my kid had a chance to survive. No one else would have been able to perform artificial respiration to save a person.
This method is just a legend from many years ago, and not many people know about it. And even fewer people can really use it well and save people.
By the time the doctor arrived, the child would have already died."
The wife of the Crown Prince of Prince Shi was also terrified.
Yu Zheng was speechless, it was indeed true.
If she had not been around at the time and had gone to join in the fun, those children might really have died.
Then she would have nothing to feel embarrassed about accepting these gifts.
"Thank you very much, ladies." Yu Yuzheng raised the box in her hand.
The ladies chatted with the princess for a few words and then said goodbye and left.
The wife of Prince Shi and the wife of Prince Huai are going to the next house.
Their son was saved by the other two young masters under the command of Yu Yuzheng, and they had to go to that family to express their gratitude.
When everyone left, the second old lady looked at Yu Zheng with a somewhat ambiguous look.
She switched back and forth between Yu Chaoyang and Yu Zheng several times.
Seeing this made Yu Zheng feel uncomfortable.
But she said nothing and just left.
The second old lady sat quietly on a chair in her own centenary courtyard.
On the first day of Zishu's marriage, she got the news in the morning that the bride had been sent to the wrong bridal chamber. She was so happy that she immediately asked the maid to exchange the gift for the new daughter-in-law for the dowry she was going to give to her granddaughter. It was the exquisite twelve-piece suit.
But over the past month, Yu Zheng's performance was totally unlike that of a daughter of a concubine's son. On the contrary, she was even better than the legitimate daughter carefully nurtured by the Bo's mansion.
At this moment, she was no longer as satisfied with Yu Chaoyang as when she first entered the door.
But things were already like this, and she didn't know how to change them.
"Taohong, go and bring the Crown Prince's Consort to me." The Second Old Lady ordered.
Yu Chaoyang will be here soon.
"Meet the second old lady."
"Chaoyang, come and sit next to your grandma." The second old lady put on a smiling face.
Yu Chaoyang sat down obediently.
"Good boy, how have you and Zishu been studying the iron box recently?" the second old lady asked.
If they can open the box, they will become important officials of the Shangguan family. This will also improve their status in the hearts of the clan members.
“Not yet.” Yu Chaoyang felt ashamed.
The couple tries it countless times every day.
She tried the most times because the prince had to go out during the day and she had more time.
But it has been more than 20 days and there is no movement at all.
"Then try more times, maybe one of the numbers is the password to open the box. Also, it's been a month since you got married, you have to hurry up and get pregnant. The offspring of the palace are the most important." The second old lady started to care about Yu Chaoyang's belly again.
"Madam, Chaoyang has only been married for a month, it can't be that fast." Yu Chaoyang shyly pinched the handkerchief in her hand.
"You should be more careful with your second sister in the future, and don't fall for her without knowing it." The second old lady felt so angry when she talked about Yu Yuzheng.
"Yes, Chaoyang didn't know that she hid so deeply and deceived everyone in our Bo's Mansion." Speaking of this, Yu Chaoyang wanted to kill her, but he couldn't.
"Okay, now that it's over, you should try to keep your distance from her. Also, you should read more books, learn to play the piano, and learn to paint, so that people don't say you are a fool.
I will mention it to the princess some other day and ask you to learn how to manage the palace's household expenses.
If you can't bear the responsibility of being the mistress of the palace, you may not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Prince's Consort." The second old lady said seriously.
There was no sign of his usual frenzy at all.
She herself didn't know why, she just didn't like Yu Yuzheng. From the first day she served tea, she wanted to embarrass Yu Yuzheng in every way.
She always felt that this woman was a variable and would ruin her plans for many years.
In fact, the main reason was that the prince had originally chosen her to marry Shangguan Zishu, and she was very dissatisfied.
"Yes, Chaoyang knows." Although Yu Chaoyang listened, he thought that she had already married into the palace and was now the prince's consort. Could there be any accidents?
What she didn't expect was that she could divorce her wife or take another concubine. If the newcomer had extraordinary abilities, she might be suppressed. The mistress of the palace was very important to the palace.
After a while, Concubine Luo also came.
She was also quite shocked by Yu Zheng's recent performance.
"Second Madam, what do you think of this?" Concubine Luo felt unhappy.
The woman they all looked down upon actually surpassed the Crown Prince's Consort.
At this moment, she had two opinions about Yu Chaoyang. If she hadn't changed the marriage, some of the glory from yesterday would have fallen on her son.
"What can she do? As long as the eldest master doesn't wake up, she will be a widow even if she has another child." The second old lady was not too worried.
A woman in the harem cannot change the overall situation. As long as Zishu is the prince, nothing will change.
Soon she would write a letter to Concubine Shu and ask her to speak in front of the Emperor, "Oh, oh, oh, how could the prince stop treating the eldest son?"
Treatment should never be stopped.
It’s a pity that Qiyayuan is strictly guarded by the princess, and she can’t get anyone in.
The servants serving in the courtyard were arranged by the prince himself, and even the maids who did the rough work were the descendants of the princess who came as a dowry.
Several women were talking about Yu Zheng, who was holding two jewelry boxes, and the maid behind her had two more boxes in her hand, walking happily into the courtyard.
Open each box and look at it.
"Wow, these ladies are so generous."
Each piece is exquisite enough to be a feast for the eyes.
Yu Yuzheng picked up a gold and jade hairpin and put it on her hair.
"Ziyue, are you pretty?"
"The eldest young lady is so beautiful."
"You are good at talking. You said I was pretty instead of Chai. Come, everyone who sees it will have a share. This is for you, this is for Jiang Xi, and this is for Madam Ye. Ziyue will give each of the maids in the courtyard a reward of one or two taels of silver later. Just say that Madam is happy today and gave them the reward."
Yu yi zheng is very generous.
"Oh, by the way, please ask Aunt Ye to come in for a moment. I need to discuss this with her."
Zi Yue took the reward and left.
