"Here, I also live a closed-door life. I don't go to the Crown Prince's Consort. Every ten days, I show up when I pay my respects to the Crown Prince's Consort. The Crown Prince's Consort has a domineering temper, but for someone like me who looks ordinary and doesn't get close to the Crown Prince, life is pretty easy!"
Wen Yu couldn't help but feel distressed: "What about your youth!?"
"Ayu, let's take it one step at a time. If we can live well, we certainly can't go any worse. But if we can't live well, we can't just give up!"
"Then can you go out on weekdays?"
"It's not very convenient. Occasionally, I can go back to my parents' home."
"What a shame. After the New Year, I'm going to start a shop! You have the best ideas, and I'd like to ask you for help!"
"Whatever you want me to do, don't hesitate. I'll give you some money later. Grandfather felt indebted when he came back, so he made up a lot of dowry. But how can I use it? I don't have the energy to do it at the moment, so you can just use it!"
"Oh, he is my elder brother after all, how nice of him!" Wen Yu leaned on her shoulder.
This time, I was not disliked.
"Lan Zhou, let him move to my house! Let my mother take care of him."
"Zhuzhu took good care of me."
"But she has to get married!"
"We'll talk about it later. Hey, come with me to the front and meet Madam Qi, okay?!"
"Okay!" Jiang Pingting did not hesitate.
The two people walked and talked hand in hand.
I feel like I can never finish what I'm saying! ...
Although Madam Qi had a big fight with the Crown Princess, she also knew that if something really happened, it would be too late to say anything.
She didn't know what method the other party used, and she stood there blankly, full of anger and despair...
"Mother!" Qi Wu came.
"Xiao Wu!" Madam Qi said excitedly, "Wen Yu..."
"Mother, she's fine!"
"Really?!" Mrs. Qi felt her back was soaked with sweat.
"Really? The prince has been following us. Wen Yu met an old friend. Let's wait in front. He should be here soon."
"Okay. I was really scared. Son, it's Xue Ying..." Mrs. Qi gritted her teeth.
"Mother, don't talk here." Qi Wu supported her and walked forward.
Princess Huiyi came over and said, "Third sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating?"
Madam Qi said, "Oh, I was in a hurry!
"Where's Wen Yu? I want to introduce someone to her."
"He said he met an old friend and will come over in a while!"
"Third sister, how old is she? And she met an old friend..."
At this moment, an explosive piece of news spread like wildfire.
The eldest son "Jinzi" of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion and the eldest son's wife Zhang Jinjin of the Prince Consort's Mansion in Daliushu Hutong had a secret meeting in the alley of the East Palace.
The two were too "happy" and made a huge noise, and were discovered by the crown prince's guards.
Reported to the crown prince, and he was caught red-handed.
The crown prince was furious and took the dishevelled Jin back to the Duke's Mansion! He also asked Zhang Jinjin's husband to come and take her back as well.
The Crown Princess was shocked when she heard this. How could Zhang Jinjin have a tryst with Jin Zi? She wasn't...
I wanted to say a few words to defend her.
After being glanced at by the Crown Princess, he dared not move.
Then, the Crown Prince came to the back and scolded the Crown Princess in front of her, asking her how incompetent she could be and how she could guard the house. She actually let someone break into the East Palace and do lewd things! This was the first time that the Crown Prince scolded her mercilessly, and the Crown Princess cried.
The Crown Princess looked at her son in silence, thinking in her mind.
Maybe the Crown Prince had informed the Crown Prince in advance.
The prince talked to others with an unchanged expression and did not mention the matter.
The guest room exploded.
"Oh my God, really!? How is this possible?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Yeah, this is too outrageous. Zhang Jinjin already has two sons?!"
"With her status, how could she be willing to have a tryst with Jin Zi..."
Most people didn't believe it and started to speculate on conspiracy theories.
But someone stood up and testified: "I saw it with my own eyes: it was Zhang Jinjin's maid who delivered the message to Jinzi. Then, Jinzi left in a hurry."
"Prince Yongqing also saw it! Right?!" He even asked Prince Yongqing to testify.
Prince Yongqing was so angry that he was fuming. He saw it with his own eyes!
He believed it.
An Wen said, "There was a girl who talked to Jin Zi, but I don't know who that girl is."
"I saw it too. Although I don't know who that girl belongs to, she is definitely not a palace maid!"
Everyone looked at it and said, "It's true!"
"No wonder that time..." Someone started making up a story.
"Yes, yes. Once, I was wondering, why ..."
All kinds of stories appear out of thin air.
…
"Madam!" Wen Yu brought Jiang Pingting over.
Seeing Wen Yu, Madam Qi was excited, "Ah Yu, are you okay?!"
"Madam, don't worry. I'm fine. Let me introduce you to my good friend Jiang Pingting. She is the granddaughter of old Master Jiang Yunqi and the daughter of Master Jiang Qian. We grew up together. Now she is the Crown Prince's concubine!"
Madam Qi looked at Jiang Pingting who was calm and composed, and said politely, "Madam Concubine."
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. Wen Yu and I are good friends. Just call me Pingting in private."
"And this one... is Master Qi Wu."
Qi Wu hasn't left yet.
Jiang Pingting looked at Qi Wu, "..." Oh my God, this is Wen Yu's future husband?
She's fine! Qi Wu bowed politely: "My Lady Concubine!"
Jiang Pingting nodded: "Master Qi Wu." Then she turned to look at Wen Yu, the smile in her eyes clearly meant: You've made a profit! Wen Yu was a little embarrassed...
"Wen Yu!" Old Mrs. Wen also came over hurriedly.
During this half day, she was like an ant on hot pan and had lost her usual strong character.
"Grandma!" Wen Yu didn't want to say more to her: "Who do you think this is?"
Seeing Wen Yu smiling, Old Mrs. Wen felt relieved.
Wen Yu pointed to a woman in palace dress. Huh? She looked familiar.
Jiang Pingting smiled and said nothing.
"Grandma, this is Sister Pingting! Now, she is the Crown Prince's concubine!"
When the old lady heard this, she was extremely excited: "Oh, I was wondering if she looked familiar! It's Miss Pingting... Oh, look at my rules, it's the Empress! Long live the Empress!" The flattery was obvious.
Jiang Pingting nodded: "Mrs. Wen. I am very happy to see Wen Yu... and the Wen family in the capital!"
"After a few years of absence, you have become the Empress! You have brought the Wen and Wen families closer together. You are good friends with Wen Yu and the others, and you often play together! At that time, I felt that you were much more stable than them! You are indeed the most promising one! You are the Empress! Look at your demeanor!"
Old Mrs. Wen couldn't stop smiling.
Even Jiang Pingting was fooled into laughing...
Laba came over and told Wenyu about the development of the situation.
Wen Yu expressed satisfaction, "Can you enter the Prince Consort's Mansion? If you have any news, spread it out in an exaggerated way!"
"yes."
Princess Huiyi also came to meet Jiang Pingting and whispered to Madam Qi: "This Madam Jiang, at such a young age, seems quite steady."
"That's right, she is a hundred times better than Xue Ying! I have something to tell you later!" Mrs. Qi's eyes were cold.
They attracted many of their own relationships.
For a while, this place became a lively place.
…
The Crown Prince ordered the gold to be escorted back to the Duke's Mansion.
His grandfather, the Duke, did not go to the East Palace today, but was at home playing with birds.
The eldest grandson's clothes were sent back in disarray. Before he could ask in detail...
Jinzi's father came back in a hurry.
Jinzi's father went to the Eastern Palace today and was bragging to others when someone told him: Your Jinzi was committing adultery with Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Prince Consort's Mansion in Daliushu Hutong, in the alley of the Eastern Palace. They were caught by the Crown Prince and taken back to the palace.
Jinzi's father shouted, "Take him back? Ouch, don't hurt him!" He jumped up and ran away.
When Duke Xingguo was young, he was exploited severely by the emperor several times.
Although he is not in charge of much affairs now, the emperor still has feelings for him and treats him well.
The old man's brain is still normal.
But his son and grandson...
Jinzi's father was asking his son distressedly: "Are you not hurt?!"
His son behaved badly in the East Palace, but as a father he was only worried about whether he was hurt.
Jin Zi angrily straightened his clothes, "No!"
"Ah Jin, Dad saw the girl from the Zhang family when he was a child. She was not pretty and not young anymore. How could you like her?"
"I didn't..." Jinzi felt wronged.
But Jin Zi's father didn't think he was wronged: "Even if you want her, you can go anywhere else. Why do you have to go to the East Palace? This time, you are being unreasonable!"
This means that Jin Zi's mistake was that she should not have committed adultery in the "Eastern Palace", not the adultery itself.
"Grandfather, Dad, Jinzi is innocent!"
"Ajin, was it that girl from the Zhang family who seduced you?!" His father was unprincipled and unbiased.
"Hey, listen to me. Zhang Jinjin asked the girl to tell me that she could call Qi Yang's beautiful fiancée to the alley, and let me come forward to ruin the girl's reputation. Then this girl will have to come into our house!
"Grandfather, Dad, you don't know! That girl is the most beautiful girl the capital has seen in many years! If there is such a good thing, I will definitely go!" He said as a matter of course.
Jinzi's father listened to the story with excitement.
Duke Xingguo became a little serious: Zhang family's dead girl, what are you doing?
Want to cheat the Duke's Mansion?! Why? He quickly thought: How did I offend that bitch's husband's family and her parents' family...
