Old Mrs. Wen was waiting for her anxiously, so she hurried over and told her what had just happened.
Madam Qi was startled. "Don't worry, are you sure that person said that the Crown Princess wanted to invite Wen Yu?"
"Yes! Wen Yu asked twice more, and the female official said the same thing each time."
"I'll go ask."
Madam Qi turned around and went straight to the inner hall.
Sitting in the inner hall were the Crown Princess, Princess Wu, etc. I don't know who said what, but everyone was laughing.
Madam Qi went in and saluted the princesses first: "My Lady Crown Princess, princesses!"
In fact, most of the princesses have known Madam Qi since childhood.
Princess Yun had a good relationship with her, so she asked with a smile, "Fengying, why are you here so late?!"
"Some things have delayed me. Princess Crown Prince, I heard that you called away my daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family?" Madam Qi asked directly without delay.
When the Crown Princess saw Madam Qi coming in, she thought of what happened with Zhang Jinjin just now. Why hadn't she replied to her yet? What had happened to her?
When asked, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty and didn't know how to answer.
The Crown Princess didn't care, because today, her niece and daughter-in-law had been by her side and would not leave, so there would be no conflict between her and the girl from the Wen family.
So, he asked with a smile: "Why, can't you find your beautiful daughter-in-law?"
Madam Qi saw that the Crown Princess looked normal, but the Crown Grand Princess looked pale. It was probably the work of that bitch Xue Ying!
"Princess Crown Prince, please ask your female official! I have something urgent to discuss with her!"
The Crown Princess forced a smile, "Madam, please follow me..." She didn't dare to stay here and took Madam Qi out through the side door.
As soon as she left the house, Madam Qi's face dropped: "Did you ask Wen Yu to leave?"
"No! I'll ask my female officials if they might have made a mistake." The Crown Princess decisively passed the buck.
"Crown Princess, as members of the royal family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess are both very admirable. What were they doing on a day like today? And you, you don't even know what your female officials are doing... It really disappoints me... I hope Wen Yu is okay! Otherwise..." She stared at the Crown Princess.
"What do you mean?" The Crown Princess frowned and started to confront him!
"It's just what you think it means!" Mrs. Qi was not afraid at all.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" The Crown Princess was anxious!
"With you, Xue Ying. Help me find someone quickly, and I hope she is okay!" Mrs. Qi looked at her steadily and left.
The Crown Princess just watched Madam Qi leave without daring to get angry or stop her.
Except when she was with the Queen, she would restrain herself and endure the injustice.
I have never suffered this from anyone else! She was shaking with anger, "What's so great about you! Just wait, if that day comes, I will wipe out your entire family..." She whispered in a low voice when there was no one around.
…
Wen Yu, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, talked about Liu Lanfang's affairs without stopping.
Jiang Pingting was stunned for a while and then burst into tears.
The two of them were silent for a moment.
Jiang Pingting wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, stop crying. You brought Lanzhou here, how did you place him?"
"I bought a small courtyard and now it's Yanzhu, the Hongdou who used to be by my side. She's with Lanzhou."
Jiang Pingting nodded and helped Wen Yu tidy up her hair: "Ayu, your performance surprised me! I always thought you were indecisive and always thought about things you couldn't remember. But in this matter, from beginning to end, you were brave, decisive, and strong. You have finally grown up, which is great!"
I have always been disliked by her, but this time I was finally recognized.
Wen Yu was very happy, "I am different now! Why are you here?!"
"Alas, it's hard to describe in one sentence! Back then, I left Jiangzhou with my grandfather and father and moved to several places. Later, I followed my mother and aunt to Beijing. My grandfather, father and uncle were away all the time.
Disaster relief, water conservancy, busy all the time, unable to return to Beijing. We, lived a good life... But half a year ago, inexplicably, I was made the Crown Prince's concubine.
At that time, my brother was the only one at home... But even if my grandfather and father were here, I'm afraid there would be nothing they could do. Anyway, I soon entered the East Palace. Three months later, my grandfather and father came back. The emperor rewarded me, promoted me, and gave me power... That's it!"
"Oh, Grandpa Jiang and Uncle Jiang are so capable! They are high-ranking officials, right? Pingting, you don't want to be a concubine, right?!"
"Of course not!"
The grandson listened to the story of the Liu brothers and sisters with great interest, secretly sighing that this girl was really capable...
Then he heard Jiang Pingting acting as if she was disgusted with being his concubine.
He raised his eyebrows and was very angry.
The grandson cursed inwardly: Who told you to listen to this nonsense? !
"Let's not talk about this for now. Why are you here?" Jiang Pingting asked.
"My father got promoted, too! He moved to Beijing! The whole family is here." Wen Yu said in a light tone.
"It's good that Mrs. Wen and Yuan can bring you here!"
"What? I have an arranged marriage in Jiangzhou, so they have to take me with them!"
"You're engaged?! To whom?"
"Qi Wulang?!"
"Who is that?!" asked the concubine.
"…You don't even know him!?"
"Why should I know?!"
"Oh, it's a hot topic in Beijing recently!" Wen Yu couldn't tell what her attitude should be, "Otherwise, how could I encounter this today?!"
"By the way, what happened just now? I won't ask you anymore, just tell me from the beginning!"
The prince thought to himself, how come this concubine can control Wen Yu so well? Wen Yu's emotions were already brewing, and she was about to open her mouth.
"Oh, let me say this first..." Jiang looked Wen Yu up and down, "I have to say...you are really pretty!"
"Really?" Wen Yu rubbed her face against Jiang Pingting's shoulder.
"Stop rubbing! The powder has rubbed onto my clothes!"
She was rejected again!
"Your Majesty, Laba who is with Miss Wen is here!" the maid outside the door reported.
"Let her in!"
Laba came in and wanted to whisper to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu said: "Just tell me, you are not an outsider!"
The concubine sat steadily, looking unperturbed by praise or criticism.
"Miss, it should be Zhang from the Prince Consort's Mansion..."
Wen Yuliu went to Laba to inquire about the news. Her fellow apprentice was nearby and told her quickly.
After hearing this, Concubine Jiang and Wen Yu looked at each other, both speechless. This is the Eastern Palace! No matter how bloody the royal family is, they are all polite and have hidden knives in secret!
"What about the Zhang family?!" Wen Yu wondered.
"She had originally gone into the inner courtyard to hide, but when things got chaotic, she hid on the other side of the alley!"
"Then you do this..." Wen Yu gave a few instructions.
Laba agreed and left.
The concubine looked at her with even more surprise. "You are really different, girl! People say that you can tell a person's future by looking at him when he is three years old. I thought you...how come you are a completely different person?!"
Wen Yu chuckled and recounted the past events as briefly as possible.
The concubine sighed, "So, you have much more experience than me. My mother and aunt are not in good health, and my brothers are in school and taking exams. I am the housekeeper, so I live my life behind closed doors and never interact with strangers. So, when the title of concubine fell on me, my whole family was dumbfounded..."
"So, what do you think?"
"I'm already in, what else can I do? After what happened just now, do you still not understand what the Eastern Palace is like? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is noble and elegant, who would have thought that his harem would be so messy."
"Where's the Crown Princess?"
"The queen has to take care of the prince. I heard that she often goes to the study room in front. The Crown Prince's Consort has been with the queen since she was a child. The queen doesn't care if she does anything out of line... My previous concubine was killed because she was pregnant!"
"Ah?! What are you going to do then?" Wen Yu was shocked.
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to bully! Besides, I'm not interested in positions or children. I've been in the mansion for half a year, but I haven't consummated my marriage with the Crown Prince. I write all day long, and my life is very refreshing!"
"Yes, that's right! Don't rush to consummate the marriage yet! Who knows, things might change in the future!"
The prince thought: What could change? Will she remarry after I die? Pah! These two women are still girls! How can they even talk about whether the marriage was consummated or not?
They are both shameless! Oh my god, if the two of them were to work together, Qi Wu and I would be in trouble!
I felt inexplicably panicked and left in anger.
