Chapter 225 The Concubine Enters the Door
Someone was making a fuss for King Ping. It was only when Zhuhua came to the palace to pay his respects. Princess Jiang mentioned it. Of course, Princess Jiang did not come so kindly to remind Zhuhua. She just came to make some trouble for Zhuhua, even if she knew that Prince Ping did not accept the person in the end. Now there is only one princess left in the royal palace, and there is not even a single family. A woman like Zhuhua is afraid that Prince Ping is guarding her, but she is not from Ping. Princess Jiang just wants to see what she would do if Zhuhua knew about this.
Zhuhua didn't make a fuss, although she had thought about why she didn't accept it? After all, she gave her a house, so how can she deal with it? But if the house is sold, it becomes money. The house price in Chang'an City is so expensive, that's a lot of money. Of course, she just thought about it, but as a prince, she can't be so shallow, and a prince can't accept generous gifts. This is a crime.
However, Zhuhua, which has been poisoned by feudal thought, immediately thought that it would be fine to collect a little bit. She even thought about whether she wanted to do something and let outsiders not be so sneaky in the future. Otherwise, she wouldn't know that the money Pingwang secretly collected the money, and the money that Pingwang gave her might come from here.
Moreover, Zhuhua hates the outdoor room more than her concubines. They don’t have to bear the pressure of the royal palace, nor do they have to advance and retreat with the royal palace, but they also enjoy a comfortable and rich life. Why? If there is such an outdoor room, it may be light for her to come to the door to smash it.
Having said that, she felt that King Ping did not seem to have such a bad idea. At least until her eyes were full of her heart, she was sure. But men's hearts could not withstand temptation. Someone took the initiative to throw himself into his arms. If she had too many times, she didn't believe that he could keep his hands and didn't even touch his hands. In order to avoid such a thing, she felt it was necessary to cut off other people's thoughts.
Zhuhua attended several more banquets this year than in previous years. Through the banquet, she met a concubine daughter of the Wei family, the concubine sister of the late Princess Chu.
The father of the Princess Chu was the only son and had no talent. With the face of his father, his daughters found good marriages, but in the end, none of these marriages brought him any substantial benefits. Now, his father, who was the Taichang Master Wei, had passed away, and his best-married daughter, Princess Chu, passed away without leaving one son and half daughter. The other children looked like they had no prospects. In order to revitalize the family situation, he wanted to have another good marriage and let his daughter marry the noble family. He had no legitimate daughter, only a fifteen-year-old concubine Wei Ruping and Wei Baniang, who looked good, and it was impossible to marry her to the noble family as a wife, and it was more than enough to be a concubine.
When Zhuhua first met Wei Baniang at the banquet, she felt that the girl looked familiar, especially the calmness between her eyebrows, which was somewhat similar to the Princess Chu. Later, when she asked, she found out that this was the concubine of Princess Chu, and the stepmother of the Princess Chu was brought to her. Now the headmaster of the Wei family, Mrs. Wei, chatted with Mrs. Wei for a few words and heard that she seemed to want to give Wei Baniang to Prince Ping as a concubine. Zhuhua immediately looked at Wei Baniang in surprise, as if she felt her gaze. Wei Baniang's eyelashes trembled, but soon calmed down, and faced all this indifferently.
Zhu Huayue felt that she was a bit like Princess Chu.
Of course, Zhuhua would not have agreed to Wei Baniang into the mansion. When Mrs. Wei saw that she did not respond, she expected that she would take Wei Baniang to the other ladies to show her face. Zhuhua looked at her straight back from afar, sighed for her, and suddenly remembered Xu Qingqing again.
Later one day when she went out to burn incense outside the city, she saw Wei Baniang who accompanied Mrs. Wei to burn incense. Mrs. Wei seemed angry about something and scolded Wei Baniang a few words. Wei Baniang tried to stand calmly and complained softly, but she couldn't hear her mistake in her tone. After asking Zhuhua, she realized that Mrs. Wei wanted to give Wei Baniang to a high-ranking official as a concubine. Both sides had already discussed it, but she was found out by the other party's official room and blocked by the temple, which made many people laugh.
This marriage naturally turned out to be ruined. After a while, Mrs. Wei restrained her a little. Until the New Year, she started attending various banquets again, which was very similar to letting Wei Baniang get rid of her before the New Year.
On that day, Zhuhua met Wei Baniang at the banquet. After meeting a few times, the two met each other, but they just said hello and would not chat much. Halfway through the banquet, Zhuhua went to change clothes and met Wei Baniang who was hurriedly coming and looking slightly pale in front of the trail.
"Miss Wei, what's wrong?" Zhuhua couldn't help but ask.
"I just met King Huo... Your Highness." She blurted out and immediately slowed down her complaining tone, trying to make this statement a mediocre fact, but if this was the case, she would not be so helpless.
Zhuhua looked left and right, and after the servant stepped back, she approached her and whispered: "Do you have nothing to do to help you get out of trouble?"
Wei Baniang was stunned and said slowly: "He failed the exam."
After saying that, she glanced at Zhuhua, her long eyelashes trembled, and immediately showed a standard smile, "The princess is blessed than my sister."
"It depends on how you choose." Zhuhua said.
After nodding with her, she separated from her. After going back that day, she thought about this and was not at ease when she fell asleep at night.
"Is there anything wrong with you recently?" When she woke up early, Ping Wang asked carefully, thinking to herself, could it be that she knew that someone wanted to get in?
Zhuhua smiled and shook her head, "You don't want to go to Hanlin Academy to be your worth."
King Ping nodded. By the end of the year, the affairs were complicated. He had to accompany the prince to handle political affairs in the palace every day, and sometimes he would go home later. He was afraid that Zhuhua would think too much, and saw that she didn't seem to be angry with him, so he left the house with confidence. Zhuhua sat in the house for a while, and then called Qiuchu to ask her to hand over the post to the Wei Mansion.
Mrs. Wei was a little surprised when she received the post. When Zhuhua passed by the mansion, the two exchanged greetings. Zhuhua said bluntly: "This princess and the fourth prince sister-in-law are very close. A few days ago, when she saw Ba Niang in the mansion, she felt that she was a bit similar to the fourth prince sister-in-law. I wonder if the wife was reluctant to let her come to Pingwang Mansion to accompany me?"
With the relationship between Prince Ping and the Prince, Mrs. Wei was naturally willing. However, at this time, she also took the airs and refused a few words.
When Zhuhua heard this, she smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you."
As she said that, she stood up. When Mrs. Wei heard this, she hurried forward to stop her and said, "Princess Ping, please wait, let Laos go and ask Ba Niang what she meant first."
"Then let Mrs. Lau get faster. My carriage is outside. If I want to go, I can only go today. If I don't have time today, I have never mentioned this."
"Yes, I'll ask immediately." Mrs. Wei hurried to the backyard and thought on the way, probably this was what Prince Ping meant. Princess Ping was not willing, so she took this attitude to pick people up. For her, this was a good thing. The one who was close to the prince was always King Ping. Does Prince Ping still dare to rebel against the prince and make a frustrated King Ping?
When he arrived at Wei Baniang's house, Wei Baniang hurried over to salute. Mrs. Wei glanced at the scriptures she had copied halfway, and couldn't help but frowned. The old and young people in this family loved this trick. Fortunately, the old and the young people were gone, and the remaining older and the older ones were willing to listen to her.
"You pack up your things and go to Pingwang Mansion."
Wei Baniang, who was half kneeling, frowned in confusion, but still replied: "Yes, mother."
She simply packed up some things for the close-fitting girl Izumo to take her. Wei Baniang carried a Qin out of the house. In fact, the only Qin that her mother left for her in the mansion was something she couldn't bear to throw it away. After the group arrived at the front hall, Zhuhua glanced at Wei Baniang, who was a little old, and then nodded indifferently.
"In this way, we will say goodbye." Zhuhua said, and wanted to take people away.
"Wait." Although Mrs. Wei was anxious to send Wei Baniang into the high gate, she didn't send it out in such a hurry.
Zhuhua naturally knew what she meant, so she went to Mrs. Wei and whispered: "As long as my sister's belly is good, there will always be a concubine in the future."
Mrs. Wei was relieved after hearing this. She was glad that Zhuhua was a ignorant person. She might have to hold a small party to marry a concubine in another palace, but she directly asked someone to take him away in a sedan, saving the money for the Wei family's dowry. It seems that Princess Ping did not want Princess Ping to marry a concubine, so she deliberately stepped on Ba Niang's face. Ba Niang was not her daughter, so she certainly didn't feel sorry for her, but she was a little worried about whether the child could give birth to a son. If she was like Princess Chu, she was a lucky and short-lived person, wouldn't it be a waste of her hard work?
In the evening, when Lord Wei returned home, he heard about this, but scolded Mrs. Wei.
"Look at what you do, you are always so petty." As he said that, he went outside and ordered the housekeeper: "Go and buy twenty boxes of dowry to send them to the Pingwang Mansion. Remember to take a little bit of the way and let the people in the city see more."
"Yes, I understand." The butler responded quickly.
However, after the housekeeper left, Mrs. Wei received another post from the Huo Palace, which said that Princess Huo asked Mrs. Wei and Wei Baniang to visit the Huo Palace. Mrs. Wei thought about it and asked someone to reply, and said that Wei Baniang had already sent it to the Ping Palace, and then he delayed it until the next night to tell Lord Wei about this, pretending that it was the post I had just received during the day, so as not to blame her for being careless. She didn't know that Wei Baniang, who was ignored, would suddenly become so popular.
But after Wei Baniang followed Zhuhua back home, Zhuhua took her to the living room and sat down. Every family didn't see Zhuhua for an afternoon, and when they saw her coming home, they ran towards her with a grievance.
"Every family is good, wait for my mother to change her clothes first." Zhuhua immediately squatted down and made an action to stop her from moving forward.
The family stopped and nodded, but followed Zhuhua. It was not until Zhuhua cleaned his hands and picked him up that he found that there was a strange aunt in the room. Wei Baniang smiled at him kindly, then withdrew her gaze and stared at the ground. She didn't know why Zhuhua took her to the Pingwang Mansion.
"Who said he was the concubine you took!" Zhuhua frowned and looked at the handsome man who was so dizzy that he wanted to cry too much. No matter how he looked at him, he felt guilty, "Don't worry about that concubine, it was not for you to take it, I'll keep it useful."
Now Wang Ping really wanted to cry. He didn't give him what he wanted to give him, but who else? Zhuhua was not learning badly from Wu He. Is it time to raise beauties at home? Can these be useful to him? The unconvinced Wang Ping immediately decided to work harder tonight, and it's time to show his true strength!
When the clouds were closed and the rain stopped at night, King Ping asked Zhuhua again why he took a concubine. Zhuhua didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers and was too lazy to talk to him. He just threw down one sentence: "Don't worry anyway."
Zhuhua thought to herself that at this time he was still thinking about the concubine, but it was obvious that he was not completely unwilling to care about this matter.
In fact, she herself didn't think about what to do with Wei Baniang. She had to say that her relationship with Princess Chu was average, but in addition to Princess Ji, she could only talk to Princess Chu. A family was just a family. Even if being in the royal family changed the taste of family affection, Zhuhua still pretended to be a relative on Prince Ping's side at home, but there was a difference between relatives far and near. For her, it was natural to help her within her ability when something happened to a distant relative who was quite pleasing to her. Of course, the other party was worthy of helping. Zhuhua ignored the bad parents of Princess Chu. Zhuhua, who was a little like her, was willing to help her.
She had thought about whether to find a few more people to take up all the position of concubines of Prince Ping's Mansion. But if she really became a concubine who was enrolled, she would be afraid that she would really support them in the mansion for the rest of her life, and the concubines would be different. As long as she opened this hole and someone would stuff someone in the future, she knew that she could come out openly, and she could let the world see what serious consequences would bring to Prince Ping's Prince Ping's.
Thinking of this, Zhuhua also thought that she might have led a wolf into the house. Thinking about her previous life, didn’t she just take in a down-and-out plastic sister and finally coax her husband away by her? If she encounters such a thing in this life, it might be a bigger blow to her, and she wouldn’t even dare to imagine it. But she firmly believed that King Ping would not do such a thing, and she also firmly believed that she could deal with this problem more rationally.
The older she gets, the more she feels that she is a little too impulsive when dealing with her husband’s relationship in her previous life. If she solves it in a more rational way, maybe she is still living in her previous life and can still live with her mother in her previous life. But she only has one life, and she cannot go back. In this life, she already has a better husband and children. She has to manage her well and can’t mess up the matter like before.
This was the hurdle she had found for herself. She didn't care, but the people around her were in a mess.
