Chapter 479 Taking Four Concubines at Once
Su Su's face changed and she said worriedly, "Yuer, that won't do. The Second Prince likes beauties, and there are more beauties in his mansion than fish in a lotus pond." If Yue'er married into the Second Prince's mansion, her life would be over.
"So, I'll just wear the cloud brocade dress I wore last time. It won't be rude, and it won't steal other people's limelight." Xiao Jiuyue persuaded Su Su.
Su Su said, "Yuer, there will be many people at the palace banquet, so it won't be easy for you to run into the Second Prince. When the time comes, just don't wander around."
Su Su couldn't wait to tell her about some of the palace's rules and taboos.
Su Su spoke seriously, Xiao Jiuyue listened attentively, and the room was peaceful and beautiful.
"Madam, shall we go back home?" Huanpei looked at Mu Yinqiu worriedly. She was really worried that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family would do something bad to her own daughter.
"No." Mu Yinqiu got on the carriage. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, thinking about what she had just said to Xiao Jiuyue. She opened her eyes, looked at Huanpei in front of her, and asked, "Huanpei, do you want to serve the prince?"
"Madam, I just want to serve you well." Huanpei looked at Mu Yinqiu as if she was facing a great enemy, and fought fiercely.
Mu Yinqiu pulled her up and said, "Huanpei, don't be afraid. Just tell me your true thoughts. If you are willing to serve me, I can help you."
"You are my dowry maid, I trust you." Mu Yinqiu looked at her. She was pretty, a beautiful girl from a small family. It was said that maids from big families lived better than the girls from small families outside.
"No." Huanpei shook her head without any hesitation and said, "Madam, I just want to serve you."
"Okay, if that's the case, then let's go out." Mu Yinqiu reported a few addresses. Huanpei was shocked and said, "Aren't these the families who want to become concubines?"
"You should have someone prepare something. Even if you want to take a concubine, you have to do it in a big way." This was the inspiration Mu Yinqiu had just gotten from Xiao Jiuyue. She was right. If she didn't want to be divorced, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
In the past, she had put in a lot of effort to marry into the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, but now...
Mu Yinqiu's eyes were slightly cold. No matter what, she would not give up on the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and she would not divorce!
That night, four flower-covered roofs were carried into the side door of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion with great fanfare!
The wife of the prince of Yongchang took four concubines for the prince.
Those who came to watch the fun didn't even go home.
"Isn't it said that the Crown Prince's wife was jealous and set fire to the pleasure boat because the Crown Prince took his concubine on a boat trip?"
"That's four concubines, that doesn't sound like jealousy at all."
The people were very curious.
A woman cracked melon seeds and said, "You don't understand this. The Crown Prince's wife wasn't jealous about what happened that day. My aunt's cousin's nephew's cousin works in the Marquis's Mansion. I heard that because the concubine bewitched the Crown Prince and hired some girls from brothels, the Crown Prince's wife..."
"I heard that the concubine came from a brothel..." The crowd watching the excitement, upon hearing this insider information, immediately ignited the fire of gossip, saying: "The prince is quite a playboy."
"That's right. The prince has been hanging out with his concubines for a year or two, and they haven't even been able to have a child."
"I guess it must be that concubine who got hurt!"
"What? Why hasn't the Crown Prince's wife given birth yet?"
"The Crown Prince's wife is suffering. The Crown Prince has been bewitched by his concubine and never comes to his wife's room. How can the Crown Prince's wife give birth to a child alone?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, the life of the Crown Prince's wife is so hard every night..."
The woman's words made the people present laugh instantly. Another woman continued, "I heard that the prince likes men."
"What?" The people who were eating melons no longer enjoyed the melon seeds in their hands.
At the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, when Mrs. Bai heard that Mu Yinqiu had taken in four concubines with great fanfare, she became so angry that her face turned black that she went straight to Mu Yinqiu's yard.
"Mother, you've come at the perfect time. Last time, mother said I didn't give birth to any children for the Marquisate, and I felt bad. So I thought, the families mother mentioned last time are just right. I can marry them back to the prince today. Then they will surely be able to have more children for the Marquisate soon."
Mu Yinqiu spoke first, not giving Bai a chance to speak. Seeing her unfriendly expression, Mu Yinqiu said innocently, "Mother, I just wanted to have more children for the Marquisate as soon as possible. I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
Bai: "..." She felt that all the curse words in her throat were stuck in her throat. If Mu Yinqiu had this awareness earlier, would the Yongchang Marquis Mansion still have no children?
"Mother, although it would be a big deal to take in four concubines at once, I think it would save trouble if we could take in one concubine and two concubines at the same time."
Mu Yinqiu said this and asked Huanpei to come over with the red coral. She said, "Mother's birthday is coming soon. This red coral will be a birthday gift for your daughter-in-law."
"You..." Bai looked at Mu Yinqiu with suspicion. Has this man changed his personality?
Mrs. Bai glanced at the red coral that was as big as a tree. Mu Yinqiu used to be so precious to her. She had hinted to her several times, both openly and covertly, but she pretended not to hear and even had a fight with her over the red coral. Why was she so nice today?
"Mother, I was ignorant before. I hope you won't mind."
Mu Yinqiu admitted her mistake obediently. Mrs. Bai looked at the red coral that was held in front of her. This red coral from a foreign country was really beautiful. Not only was the color festive, but it was also pleasing to the eye. Mrs. Bai glanced at her and said, "Yinqiu, as a wife, you should be gentle, virtuous, and generous."
Bai took Hongshanhu with her and asked Gui Mama, who was beside her: "Gui Mama, do you think Mu Yinqiu knew that we wanted to divorce her?" Otherwise, she would be taking a concubine and giving Hongshanhu as a gift.
Mother Gui thought about the fifty taels of silver she had just received. She reminded him cryptically, "Madam, maybe she has figured it out?"
"It would be best if she could figure it out. Although the Mu family has left the court and Shengjing, as a former tutor, they still have some disciples." Bai curled her lips and said, "Mother Gui, how is the investigation going for you? Is the incident that day related to the Xiao family?"
That day she gave Song Mingyuan a message, saying that Xiao Jiuyue was back, and Song Mingyuan indeed went to look for the Xiao family. However, she never expected that there would be no reconciliation, and Song Mingyuan even had an accident that day!
Song Mingyuan was fooling around with the servant in the carriage, and many people saw the scene. In order to dispel these rumors, Bai Shi has been very angry recently. Mu Yinqiu's high-profile taking of a concubine today is also a good way to dispel these rumors.
How could her son like a man?
…
When Xiao Jiuyue learned that Mu Yinqiu had directly given Song Mingyuan four concubines, she commented, "Not too stupid."
"Miss, this way you won't get divorced?" Luo Kui's face felt much better after being rolled with the egg, but she didn't understand. This way you won't get divorced? Isn't that a little too simple?
